Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The first year of Daxu Shixing and the 14th year of the Liao Ying calendar (the Yelvxian New Year number will be used early next year), it has reached the end of the winter, which is the time of the twelfth lunar month. But when Xu Jun arrives in the northwest, it may be the end of the year or early next year.

General Yang Dagon of the Liao State arrived in Xiazhou first, and immediately went to the palace to meet with Li Yiyin.

Neither of them speaks the other's language, but they both speak Chinese slowly. So the two sides partnered to deal with Han'er, but they could only communicate in Chinese without an interpreter.

Yang Dagon used to be trusted by Yelujing. After Yelujing died, he took refuge in Xiao Simwen, and Xiao Simwen also accepted him generously. He is a middle-aged man who looks serious and prudent, with a rounder face than most Zhongyuan people. Yang Dagon's face is a bit narrow and long, and his nose is high. He was wearing a warm hat with animal skins and his ear protectors were also &{m} furry, and he bowed to Li Yiyin when he entered the palace.

Li Yiyin immediately said: "This king is the leader of the party and all ethnic groups. May General Yang restrain his subordinates and not harass the people of Pingxia."

Yang Dagon said: "The public is not worried, as long as the Liao army needs the food, I would have guaranteed that there will be no offenses in the autumn." He changed his tone, and said anxiously, "A few days ago, I will get a report from the Privy Councillor Xiao Gongji of the North Court. Cha Ming Xu Jun used 70,000 to 80,000 troops this time, of which 450,000 to the Forbidden Army..."

Li Yiyin immediately showed a suspicious expression on his face after hearing this: "Ping Xia and Daliao joined forces, and Xu Guoda was so loud and thunder that he wanted to destroy the party's posture before using tens of thousands of people to attack?"

Yang Dagon is also a little embarrassed, because the coalition forces currently have more than one hundred thousand, and they are defending locally in the party. It is rare that the attacking party has only about half the strength of the defending army.

Yang Dagon said: "This is the news sent by Duke Xiao personally. There should be nothing wrong with it."

Li Yiyin asked: "Xu's men and horses are still in his country, how did Daliao learn about Xu's military strength?"

Yang Dagon replied: "Use spies. In the past, Daliao sent scouts to cross the Yellow River to spy on Tokyo. They were often captured by inspections in the Central Plains; or sent envoys, but only a few things were seen. Later, Daliao had a division. Shangjing seized a few spies from the country of Xu, Xiao Gong was shocked, and the people of the country Xu went deep into the grassland to Shangjing without knowing it! Upon asking, they knew that they were pretending to be merchants and used the Khitans to gain profit and collude with the Khitans. To hide the identity.

Xiao Gong drew like this, and made the Daliao spies disguised as a businessman for the benefit of Xu people. Sure enough, it was hidden by Xu people as a chicken laying golden eggs.

Not long ago, in Tokyo, with great fanfare, soldiers, horses and school inspectors gathered in the suburbs of the city for half a month. The people of Xiao Gong sent inquired many times and bribed officials, and finally got the news. "

Li Yiyin is still not convinced.

Yang Dagon didn't dare to be sure whether the news was prepared, after all, there were too many setbacks. He suggested that Li Yiyin plant a spy on the road in the southeast, and wait for Xu Jun to get near|Ping Xia, and then spy on the spot.

After Yang Dagon said, he suddenly remembered something, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yiyin: "The letter written by Xiao Gong to Li Gong is all in the letter."

Li Yiyin picked it up and saw that it was all in Chinese, written in very neat and beautiful lower cases. I didn’t want that great minister of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Siwen, to be so proficient in Chinese... Obviously Xiao Siwen could not write party items, and they couldn’t understand the Khitan language. It is the most convenient, even if it is put for a thousand years, it can be recognized as usual.

However, Xiao Siwen's literary talent is of no use here, because Li Yiyin's culture is limited, which is really confusing. His look was a bit embarrassing. After all, he was the highest leader of the party, and he was unwilling to show his lack of ink, and said: "Thanks to the handwriting of Duke Xiao, I will take a shower and change clothes, and read it carefully."

He wondered, and turned around to find someone for help. For a moment, he inadvertently thought of his daughter Li Yueji. Yueji reads more than him, so she must understand.

Yang Dagon saw Li Yiyin's subtle expression change. Yang Dagon took the initiative to say: "Xiao Bus, the last general, must do his best to fight with the general, and will never watch the fire across the bank..."

Li Yiyin nodded thoughtfully.

... Yang Dagon said calmly: "General Li, don’t doubt the sincerity of the Liao army. Xiao Gongyan, and today’s weather will be smooth for many years, like the grass and the rain, it will be the time to stretch and grow; the shaman watches the sky at night and understands the instructions of the gods. The priest also predicted that the next hundred years will be prosperous. The crops will be harvested, the cattle and sheep will be strong and the population will prosper..."

Li Yiyin stared at it, wondering if it was OK. What priest foresaw something a hundred years later, he only felt that it was a big flicker, and he didn't believe it at all. What's more, that shaman seems to worship ancestors. That is the ancestor of the Khitan people. It's a matter of the Dangxiang people?

But he didn’t raise any questions, he just kept silent...There are many sects in the Northwest, including Buddhists, Lama-Buddhas, Manichaeisms, Zoroastrians, etc. If you have to compete for what others believe in, then Everyone doesn't need to talk about anything, and we'll talk about the truth first.

Yang Dagon seems to be a Shamanism believer, speaking with gusto, "The prosperity of the population is the foundation of prosperity, and this is the time for the growth of all countries and ethnic groups. Xu Guohan'er has many people and is based on the vast and anointed land of the Central Plains, but now he is ambitious. It will be a threat to all tribes. We should form an alliance and not let Guo Tiejiang and his officials taste the sweetness of expansion..."

Li Yiyin nodded frequently when he heard the following words. In any case, the Liao army only needs to help Laozi sincerely!

As for the others, it's all nonsense! Li Yiyin's hair is already gray and he is several decades old. His rich experience has made his beliefs more and more stubborn. It is obviously not easy for Yang Dagon to persuade him on other concepts.

Yang Dagon also exhorted: "Xu Jun's firearms are very sharp to attack the city. If you stick to the key, you must be careful. The field is also very brave, but it is also a common method of battle."

...

Until the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yiyin had an admiration for Xiao Siwen, the minister of Liao Dynasty.

His scouts have already found out the menacing Xu Jun's strength, no more, no less, between 70,000 and 80,000! And this news, Xiao Siwen actually figured it out a month ago!

After all, Daliao is a northern grassland. It is a big country that dominates a large area of ​​land from west to east.

At this time, the weather was so cold that people didn't even want to go out. The news made Li Yiyin clever and energetic.

"There are only more than 70,000 people, divided into two strands, the two strands are separated by dozens of miles..." Li Yiyin was suddenly a little excited.

There are only more than 40,000 main players ahead? At first there was news from the Liao people, which he thought was ridiculous, but now his own people have been investigating and observing it, and it just coincides with Li Yiyin.

The Liao Army’s reinforcement infantry alone has 20,000, and the combined strength of the party departments is nearly 100,000! Xu Jun in the Battle of Youzhou relied on many people. Although the Liao Army was defeated in Youzhou, all the tribes still did not dare to deny its iron cavalry power. The reinforcements were equivalent to nearly half of Xu's troops this time...

At this time, the lower head's wild remarks suddenly became a little angry: "Xu Guoren despise us too much, this is contempt and humiliation for us!"

Li Yiyin didn't understand why this man was angry, "It's not humiliation to fight in battle. How upset are you?"

Wild remarks: "Xu Jun dispatched such a small number of people, I am afraid that he only cares about the reinforcements of the Liao army, and regards our party members as nothing!"

Li Yiyin gave him an angry look, "Anyway, as long as Xu Jun is defeated in this battle, no one will stop the party members from establishing the Great White State."

At this time, he didn't hide his words: "Han'er did not despise my clan, but was forced to helplessly."

He glanced at the wild speech and said: "Han'er came from Tokyo, walking the road from the southeast and going north along the Yellow River. To the south of Hengshan, ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the land is barren. The land under Xu's jurisdiction is sparsely populated, and grain and grass have to be sent far away. The road is far away and the transportation is inconvenient. Even if it is seventy to eighty thousand horses, it is enough for the court of the country to toss.

This is also the reason why the Central Plains court has rewarded and tolerated for many years and wanted to win over us. If you don't want to, you can't do what we do. However, there are few people in the party, and it is no good to be an enemy of the Central Plains. "

Li Yiyin groaned after hearing this: "The words are reasonable. I heard that the Central Plains spent a lot of money in mobilizing troops during the Battle of Youzhou. Maybe the cost is not generous now, so this is the situation."

Li Yiyin also pondered many reasons in order to persuade himself to believe what was in front of him.

The wild speech said coldly: "Since the Central Plains court is weak, yet so tearing its face, forcibly oppressing and humiliating us?"

Li Yiyin was already very happy and excited in his heart, but he felt that he should be calm, so he appeared calmer, "A military move, not this time. After this battle, I am afraid that there will be endless flames in the future."

What he meant was that Xu Jun's offensive and crusade might be just a test. The hardest thing is yet to come, and it may be possible for the Congress to rely on its solid foundation and long-term consumption with the party.

However, Li Yiyin couldn't help but signaled, "Xu Jun is the imperial conquest this time, and the emperor is also in the army..."

Ye Ci immediately bowed and said: "Please let me play the front line, UU reading www.uukanshu.com has captured the emperor, and shameful for Princess Yueji!"

Li Yi Yin said, "Very good. Even if the emperor is not captured and the emperor's pro-army is defeated, the status of party members in the future will not be the same!"

Li Yiyin immediately convened all ministries to discuss countermeasures. It was proved that Xu's team was going north along the Yellow River. Everyone guessed that they might move along the larger river. One is not easy to get lost, and the other is able to guarantee the army's water source... Then they enter the Wuding River from the Yellow River. , Attack Suizhou first, and then break through the Hengshan area.

The northern part of the Pingxia Land is mainly grassland and pasture land, and the Hengshan area is agricultural land. They can get a lot of supplies from the Hengshan area; therefore, they can't give up the Hengshan land and let Xu Guo first stabilize the land.

Suizhou was in a center in the southern part of Shandong. If Xu Jun captured this area, it could become a rear camp; and before Suizhou progressed, there was a long distance without any important towns and gathering places. The coalition forces went out of Suizhou to seek opportunities to fight, which was not good for Xu Jun.

The main reason is that the morale of the people and horses is very high at this time, and they are all looking forward to teaching the emperor of the Central Plains, and everyone is eager to try... After all, there are not many soldiers and horses around the emperor!
