Whether in ancient times or in modern times, retreat is the most difficult part of the march, and it is also the most important part of the test for the generals of the unified army.
And now this problem is in front of Yelu Renxian, but Yelu Renxian has already made some arrangements for this, when the morning came, Yelu Renxian had already led the army to retreat for nearly a hundred miles, and Yelu Chongyuan was still chasing after him.
The army was exhausted after chasing all night, Yelu Chongyuan looked at the tired soldiers and ordered: "Order the whole army to rest and recuperate before chasing" "Yes, Your Majesty."
The herald took the order and departed.
The whole army is already very equipped at this time, if there is no strength to fight in the pursuit, it is better to stop and rest, because Yeluren first retreated along the Sanggan River, so Yelu Chongyuan's army is also pursuing along the Sanggan River, and now the garrison is naturally resting on the side of the Sanggan River, but the problem is here.
Yelu Chongyuan dismounted, under the protection of the guards came to the edge of the Sanggan River, walked for a while Yelu Chongyuan found that the soles of his feet had been covered with silt, Yelu Chongyuan looked at the Sanggan River and asked the people around him: "It is not the dry period now, is the water level of the Sanggan River so low before?"
At this time, Yan Shu was by Yelu Chongyuan's side, and Yan Shu said to Yelu Chongyuan: "Your Majesty, the original water flow of the Sanggan River is quite large, but I don't know why the water flow has decreased in the past two days. ” Yelu Chongyuan said with a smile: "How can the current suddenly decrease, unless someone upstream deliberately intercepts the flow." ” "Interception."
Yelu Chongyuan's face changed when he thought of this, and he hurriedly issued a military order: "Order the whole army to move to Gaodi immediately, and the whole army will withdraw to the north to the high ground." ” Yan Shu was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, the brothers just stopped. ” "What nonsense," Yelu Chongyuan said angrily; "Give the order immediately, it's too late to be late."
Seeing that Yelu Chongyuan Long Yan was furious, Yan Shu immediately shouted loudly: "Your Majesty's holy message, the whole army withdraws to the north, and immediately withdraws to the north." ” But it was still a little late, just after Yan Shu conveyed the order, the Southern Liao army had just retreated to the north, and suddenly there was a loud noise in the west, like tens of thousands of war horses galloping on the wasteland, and it didn't take long for Yelu Chongyuan to see a wall of water slapping over to this side, looking at this wall of water Yelu Chongyuan's heart sank, and he was stunned there on the spot, and the guards next to him immediately took Yelu Chongyuan to the north.
At this time, on a hillside in the northwest of the water wall, Yelu Yixin looked at the rushing river water surging downstream, and finally put down a big stone in his heart, which was a move that Yelu Yixin had already thought of, after getting the news of the loss of the Flying Fox Pass, Yelu Yixin ordered Yelu He to lead 10,000 cavalry to the upstream to build a dam to stop the water, preparing to use the river to block the pursuit of Yelu Chongyuan's main army.
The flood became Yelu Yixin's helper, and under the control of Yelu Yixin, the Southern Liao army that did not have time to evacuate was completely crushed, Yelu Yixin did not use this opportunity to cover up the Southern Liao army, although Yelu Yixin temporarily delayed Yelu Chongyuan's pursuit, but the morale of the Northern Liao army under Yelu Yixin was still low, and the road that was washed by the flood was muddy, and it was not suitable for counterattack operations at all.
Therefore, Yelu Yixin took advantage of this gap and led all his troops to withdraw westward, preparing to rely on the favorable terrain to fight Yelu Chongyuan again; Although the flood on the other side brought a lot of trouble to Yelu Chongyuan, the army did not lose much, after all, the Sanggan River is a small river, and the flow of the river is not large, and Yelu Chongyuan ordered the withdrawal of the army in time, so it did not cause much loss.
On a hillside north of the Sanggan River, Yelu Chongyuan set up a large camp, gathered the remnants of the various troops that were scattered by the river, and then reorganized and prepared to attack Datong, so far the first battle between Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Yixin is over, in this contest both sides have won and lost, but the main army has not suffered losses, everyone is waiting for the next decisive battle.
A day later, Xingqing Mansion, inside the imperial study.
Li Liangzuo has obtained all the information of the Datong Battle at this stage, including the deployment of troops on both sides, how each battle between the two sides was fought, including the character of the commander has been recorded one by one.
"This is the latest situation."
Li Liangzuo asked Xiao Zhuozi.
Xiao Zhuozi immediately replied: "Yes, Yelu Chongyuan was defeated at the Sanggan River, Yelu Yixin's main army has retreated to Datong, and Xiao Yuanshan, who has gathered more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Ulzhou, has also withdrawn to Yingzhou. ” "Great defeat."
Li Liangzuo shook his head and said; "Yelu Chongyuan can be said to be a setback at most, the defeat is not enough, Yelu Chongyuan's main force has not lost much, and although Zheng Hun's department on the south road has suffered heavy losses, there are still more than 20,000 people still there, the two sides can be said to have their own victories and defeats at most, and the decisive battle has not yet begun."
"The slave will continue to send people to collect relevant information, Your Majesty, you can rest assured," Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
"You don't have to worry about doing things, but you don't just collect intelligence, after you sort out this information, you are making a judgment on the future situation of both sides."
Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi.
"Yes, the minions obey."
Xiao Zhuozi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo smiled and asked Xiao Zhuozi: "Then tell me, the next step will be where the two sides will put the battlefield of the decisive battle?"
Xiao Zhuozi said without thinking about it: "Of course it is a decisive battle in Datong, Yelu Yixin will naturally refuse to defend the city."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "No, Yelu Yixin is not so stupid, if I guess correctly, he will be deployed along this line, and his battalion should be stationed on Baishan Mountain." ” "The minions don't understand."
Xiao Zhuozi shook his head and said.
Li Liangzuo said: "In the future, you will understand, let your people monitor the line I have drawn, and I will know the latest battle report." ” "Yes, Your Majesty."
Xiao Zhuozi answered.
At this moment, Xiao Fuzi walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the imperial uncle asks to see you." ” Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Fuzi: "Let Uncle Huang come in, prepare two cups of ginseng tea for me." ” "The old minister greets Your Majesty."
After the experience, Wei Ge Ning Ling saluted Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said to Wei Ge Ningling: "Uncle Huang is exempt, please take a seat, I don't know why Uncle Huang came to find me."
Wei Ge Ningling said to Li Liangzuo: "The old minister came to recommend a talented man to His Majesty. ” Li Liangzuo frowned and asked, "What kind of genius is it?"
"It's a debater, but this person has the talent to go through the heavens and the earth," Wei Ge Ningling said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo sneered: "Debater, to put it bluntly, isn't it just a trickster, I hate this kind of person the most." ” Wei Ge Ningling persuaded Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, you are the emperor, you have to use anyone, this person is indeed talented, why can't you meet it?"
"Well, for the sake of Uncle Huang's face, I will meet this debater, and I will see what he can say to me."
Li Liangzuo pursed his lips and said.
