Late Tang

The cold rain is falling, and the cold wind is howling!

Li Jing said goodbye to the beautiful concubine in Ciyiyi, this was the third time to say goodbye, the first time was in the newly built Yu Mansion in Yanjing City.Although the marriage has already been arranged, the wedding between Li Jing and Yu Youniang has to wait for a while.Yu Youniang's three uncles' cousins ​​are coming from Chang'an, Jiaozhou, and Guangzhou. The marriage between Li Jing and Yu's family will be a grand alliance.It's not just Yu Youniang who Li Jing married, Yu Juan's other three brothers will also marry a beautiful daughter each.But in fact, the Yu family used this method to show their importance to the alliance.

At the wedding scheduled for next May, Li Jing will marry the four sisters of the Yu family at one time, and Yu Can and Yu Cong will come in person at that time.In addition, the Zheng family, Xiao family, Wei Shi, Pei family, Han family, Cui family and other great families will also send dowry wives.

Li Jing built a new mansion for the Yu family in Yanjing City. Yu Youniang, who had been in the Li family for three years without a name and no title, moved into Yu's mansion. She will stay here until she gets married in May next year.

Yu Youniang is very happy now, after three years of waiting, happiness finally came.

Li Jing had to leave again to fight, which made her very sad.After finally confirming her marriage with Li Jing, she had countless words to say to her lover.She wanted to be with him all the time, to keep her gaze on him all the time.

Li Jing went to Yu Mansion to bid farewell to her. Under the fragrant plum blossom tree, in front of the servants and servants in the mansion, she personally put the peace talisman she prayed for on his neck.Then, when Li Jing led the team out of the city, she came again, and the two held hands in front of Yanjing's city gate to say goodbye.

Then, when the team had reached the bank of the river outside Yanjing City, she chased after her panting on a steed, and begged Li Jing to take her with her.Now her heart is full of him, and she can't bear to be separated for a moment.

Li Jing was a little emotional, Gongsun Lan could tell from the side, but Li Jing restrained himself.

At the moment the weather is cloudy and wet, drizzling, and the north wind howling.He was not willing to let the army stop advancing as soon as they left the city, he ordered the troops to move on, and then he kindly comforted her on the side.

Li Jing's words were very gentle, which made Gongsun Lan feel a little sour and jealous in her heart.

The beloved man and other women whispered affectionately, while the tall silver wolf wandered by, shaking the raindrops off his body from time to time, baring his teeth at the dark sky.Li Jing finally hugged Yu Youniang, and then kissed her fair forehead lightly, which made her feel shy, Xia Fei's cheeks.Li Jing ordered a team of guards to escort the future princess back to the city, and then got on his horse, and the silver wolf immediately galloped forward to lead the way, like a pioneer.

"Princess Yu is really graceful and dignified, she is very suitable for the king!" Li Juyi rode to Wang Pu's side and said to him with a smile.Minister of the Ministry of War and Wang Pu, Marquis of the State of Wei knew the meaning of Li Juyi's words, and deliberately said these words to stimulate themselves.Although they are both ministers of Li Jing now, the grievances between Duli Town and Qingni Town have never ended.It's just that there are two people now, one is the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Marquis of Wei Guo, and the other is the Governor of Shandong, the Lord of the Crane Army, and the Marquis of An Guo.One is Li Jing's father-in-law and the other is Li Jing's righteous nephew. They are both one of the nine princes of the Qin Dynasty, so they usually restrain themselves, but if they have an opportunity, they will not miss it.

Li Jing married Yu Shi and married his second wife, which hit Wang Pu and his daughter the hardest.When Wang Pu was hit, Li Juyi was naturally happy, and even wanted to come to attack Wang Pu.

"Your Majesty and Concubine Yu are really a match made in heaven. I see Concubine Yu's appearance, she is definitely a son of a prosperous husband. When they get married in May next year, it is estimated that they will be able to give birth to an heir for the king in the next year. When that time comes, We Qin Fan will have successors."

Wang Pu was riding on the horse, and his chest was full of anger. If there was no Yu Shi, even though his daughter still had a regular wife Wang Shi.However, Wang's family doesn't care about affairs and has no children. His daughter is still the head of the backyard of Prince Qin's mansion. His eldest nephew is now the king of Lanling County. In the future, he must be the son of Prince Qin.But now, with Yu Shi, all these bright futures are gone.It was like a beautiful bubble bursting all of a sudden.

Li Juyi still smiled beside him and said: "Marquis Wei, the marriage between the King of Qin and the Yu family is a great joy for the entire Qin clan, but you are silent at this moment, how do you feel?"

"I'm very happy for the king. I am married to the Yu family. I, Qin Fan, have won the popularity of the world and my reputation has been greatly boosted!" Wang Pu replied with a dark face.

Li Juyi laughed loudly, "Sometimes there must be something in life, and there is no time in life, don't force it, Marquis Wei, think about everything, hahaha!"

Wang Pu kicked his horse and galloped angrily, throwing down Li Juyi who was gleeful.If he could, he really wanted to whip him in the face. Li Lingfu was so crazy back then, but he didn't die in the end. Little bastard, he dared to be so crazy to him!

The Qin army attacked again, and Li Jing personally led the troops.

When sending troops this time, Li Jing declared to the outside world that he was leading his troops to the north to reinforce the Khitan troops in the Northern Expedition.But in fact, Li Jing is indeed heading north this time, but it is not heading north, nor northeast, but northwest.

Li Jing did not send troops to Lulongsai, nor did he march to Shanhaiguan, but went directly to the military capital in the northwest!

Li Guochang, the father of Shatuo Li Keyong, was assassinated and killed. The murderer behind the scenes pointed at Li Quanzhong. Li Keyong joined forces with Wang Jingchong of Chengde Town to attack Yiwu Town. He recalled the soldiers and horses of the two prefectures in Yiding, carrying money, food and equipment, and the people of the two prefectures, and hurriedly withdrew into Zhuozhou all the way.

Facing the Volunteer Army who voluntarily retreated, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong immediately occupied the two prefectures of Yiding very unceremoniously, with Li Keyong occupying Yizhou and Wang Jingchong occupying Dingzhou.

The soldiers and horses of Yanmen Town and the soldiers and horses of Chengde Town have successfully joined forces in Yizhou, and they are rectifying their troops and horses, preparing to attack Zhuozhou directly.

At this critical moment, Li Jing sent troops to consolidate the defenses of the three passes of Hejian and Mozhou, but at the same time sent troops to claim to go out to support the north.But they spread the news secretly, saying that the Northern Expedition troops were ambushed by the Khitan on the grassland and suffered heavy casualties. Now tens of thousands of horses are trapped in the grassland, and Li Jing led his troops to rescue.

But in fact, Li Jing, who was supposed to go to the grassland for emergency, suddenly turned northwest at night on the way, heading straight for the military capital.

Li Quanzhong led the Yiwu Army to retreat without a fight. The retreat into Zhuozhou really surprised Li Jing, and even disrupted Li Jing's deployment.However, Li Jing adjusted his strategy accordingly. He did not immediately send troops south to snatch Yiding two prefectures as Li Quanzhong expected. Instead, he just sent troops to strengthen the defense of Moying two prefectures, and then suddenly led his troops to the north instead.

"Li Quanzhong has already guessed our strategic intentions. He didn't want to be cannon fodder, so he gave up Yiding Erzhou very smartly and decisively, and pulled his troops to withdraw to Zhuozhou. The south of Zhuozhou is Moying Erzhou, and the north is Youzhou. Li Quanzhong Withdrawing here is because we want us to stop the Chengde and Yanmen coalition forces for him. Moreover, at this time, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong's army is in front of us, and it is not suitable for us to annex Zhuozhou at this time. This Li Quanzhong is very cunning!" Li Jing After hearing Li Quanzhong's actions, he immediately judged the guy's reaction, and said to the staff members of the staff academy with a sneer.

Li Jing did not agree with the plan proposed by the Staff Council to annex Zhuozhou immediately. In doing so, Li Quanzhong, who was desperate, might turn to Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong.Even if this is not the case, it would be unwise to fight Li Quanzhong, who has tens of thousands of troops, before fighting Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong.

Therefore, he adjusted the strategic direction.

"Although there was some trouble here on Li Quanzhong's side, our general expectations are still correct. Now we don't care about this side, and we will close the army directly. They beat them and we beat us. Li Keyong took the number Wan Dajun has left Yanmen, crossed the Taihang Mountains, and is scattered among the cities of Yizhou, and now we are dispatching troops to Yanmen Town, just in time to catch Li Ke by surprise."

Facing Yanmen and Chengde's [-] coalition forces, Li Jing still dared to treat them as nothing, and even dispatched an army to counterattack Yanmen. I have to say that Li Jing's plan was crazy.But this is completely in line with Li Jing's consistent style, mobilizing the enemy and then attacking.

In response to the current Qin army, if Li Keyong continued to attack, he would either cross Mo Ying and attack Li Quanzhong in Zhuozhou, or attack Mo Ying directly.If he attacked Li Quanzhong, then Li Quanzhong had no choice but to stand up and resist, otherwise there would be no scum left.If he does this, he will eventually have to fight with Chengde Yanmen, and return to Qin Jun's original plan.Or, Li Ke used to directly attack the two prefectures of Moying, but if the Qin army only defended and did not attack, then relying on the dangers of the heavy city of Hejian and the three passes of Mozhou to defend and attack, Chengde and the Yanmen army had [-] troops. Many, but not many advantages.

And if they really dare to directly attack the two prefectures of Moying, then the Qin army will be able to attract them to Hebei. When the battle starts, Li Jing will lead the army to counterattack the prefectures of Guiwu and New Confucianism outside the pass, and Li Keyong will rescue them. It's too late.

Qin Jun's plan has strength as a guarantee. The three passes of Hejian and Mozhou have been in operation for nearly a year, and they are no longer the original pass cities. Now the three passes of this city are extremely dangerous, and an entire deep defense circle has been added. In the two prefectures of Moying, there are a full [-] soldiers and horses stationed, which can completely fight against the [-] coalition forces of Yanmen and Chengde.But this time Li Jing mobilized [-] soldiers to fight back against Yanmen, but there were not many soldiers left behind in Yanmen Town.Moreover, the defenders had no generals, but Li Kexiu, Li Keyong's younger brother, served as the chief general.

In the core areas of Yanmen Town, Wei, Dai, and Xin prefectures, Li Keyong's wife, Mrs. Liu, sits in the town. This is a woman that Li Jing admires very much.The hall on the ground, the horse she rides, she can not only work as a woman, but also hack and kill with a knife, she is simply an amazing woman.According to the report of the Military Intelligence Department, this strange woman now has a 1-horse female cavalry unit directly under her command. In addition, Li Keyong also left him 2 Daibeihu cavalry, and another [-] Han army auxiliary troops.

This is a force that cannot be underestimated. Although a woman is leading the army in Yanmen, Li Jing will never underestimate such a brave woman.

However, Li Jing didn't have to worry about Liu's ability to lead an army to rescue Li Kexiu when he attacked him.Because Li Jing attached great importance to the Liu family, he had already made arrangements in advance for this dispatch of troops, and arranged for a better opponent for the Liu family.

Li Jing sent troops this time, and he didn't have the arrogant plan to destroy Yanmen Town in a single battle.Facing the couple Li Keyong and Liu Shi, and Sha Tuo's group of powerful Hu Qi, Li Jing's goal was a bit conservative.In this battle, Li Jing's battle is expected to take down the four new states of Confucianism and Guixin outside the military capital, and control the barrier to the northwest of Yanjing in his hands.

Under the leadership of the commanders of the various armies, Li Jing's team stretched for several miles. The vanguard was Li Juyi, the nephew of An Guohou, who was in charge of the Crane Cavalry Army. The Crane Control Army has been reorganized several times, and now it is a half of Han people, and then Uyghur, Goguryeo, Silla, Mohe, Shiwei, Tatar, Xi, Tuyuhun, Turkic, Tiele, and even Tubo, Sogdian and other various A hussar cavalry unit composed of tribal Hu cavalry.

Li Jing, Gongsun Lan and Wang Pu, Gai Yu, Li Liang and other ministers who accompanied the army were in the central army, including the Jinjia Shengjie Army, Silver Spear Effective Festival Army, Pengyue, Gongsheng, and Black Banner Army.Then came the engineering unit, the supply unit, countless carriages, donkey carts, mule carts, and wheelbarrows full of cans, forage, food, and medical supplies, as well as artillery carts, ballista carts, and cannon throwing equipment.These troops were protected by Gao Siji and Wang Yanzhang with their cavalry in the rear.

Behind them, there is a large group, which is supplied by a goat, a herd of cattle, etc., and a group of traders and barracks soldiers accompanying the army. This group of people is like cleaning food residues from the teeth of crocodiles. little bird.Wherever the army goes, these traders and battalion chickens will follow them, unless they are marching in a hurry or in a special surprise march.In addition to the caravan's own guards, there are also boy scouts over the age of 12 from the military academy who are specially following this group of people. There are 5000 boy scouts in this group. They are specially participating in this march. He and the guards of the Ji Battalion stepped onto the battlefield for the first time, opened up and enriched their experience, and made a better temper for the future.

Apart from these vendors, campers, and boy scouts as trainees, it was [-] soldiers who were actually responsible for combat missions.Among the [-] fighters, many of them have experienced the naval battle of Dengzhou, the battle of southern Liaoning, the battle of Goguryeo in eastern Liaoning, the battle of Khitan in western Liaoning, the battle of Shatuo in Daibei, the battle of grass bandits in Central Plains, the battle of towns in Hebei, the battle of Jianghuai In the battle with the Huai army and the Qi army, they are the elite of the Qin army, they are the core of the Qin army.

In their eyes, the front is just another stupid enemy who is overconfident and dares to block the car with his arms!

At noon, the rain became long and continuous, and the rain continued.

The young soldiers who participated in the real march for the first time were exhausted, but although their bodies were exhausted, the blood of these young soldiers who set foot on the battlefield for the first time was full of enthusiasm and excitement.

While walking on the muddy road, they were still singing military songs and shouting battle horns.Their ranks were extremely neat, and the rain drenched their military robes, but it couldn't drench the burning blood in their chests!

A scout officer with a childish face rode skillfully past the marching team, reined in his horse and stopped on the dirt slope beside the road, he waved his young but powerful arms to his companions, and shouted loudly: : "Keep the formation and keep going, brothers, we are scouts, the scouts of the King of Qin. We will always remember that wherever the will of the King of Qin goes, our long sword points!"

The marching teenagers immediately shouted in unison: "Where King Qin's will lies, our long sword is pointing!"

The loud and passionate voice passed through the drizzle, pierced the sky, and spread directly to the Chinese army in front. Li Jing also heard the passionate voice while riding on his horse. He listened attentively, with an extremely happy expression on his face!
