Three months later, in the camp of Yelu Renxian in Datong Baishan Mountain, Yelu Renxian had retreated here for three months, and in these three months, Yelu Chongyuan and Yelu Renxian fought a total of three relatively large battles, and these three battles were all around Yelu Renxian's new defense line, and the two of them basically fought a tie in these three wars.
Yelu Renxian's new defense line is to take Baishan Mountain as the core, and arrange the defense line on Qingpi Road in the north-south direction, which is the defense line in the north, in Yingzhou in the south, Xiao Yuanshan relies on Yingzhou City as the core, and relies on Longshou Mountain to arrange the defense line, these two defense lines occupy an absolute geographical advantage, and it is basically the same as Li Liangzuo's guess at the beginning.
Relying on Datong Mansion and Yingzhou, Yelu Renxian's defense line can be said to be impregnable, which is also an important reason why Yelu Chongyuan has not been able to attack for a long time, in order to conquer Xijing Datong as soon as possible, Yelu Chongyuan put his own camp in Changqing, and Zheng Hun of the Southern Route Army put his camp in Hunyuan after being supplemented, but Zheng Hun is more than enough to defend and not enough to attack.
In addition, the distance between the two armies is a little far, so they can not form an effective cooperation, which is also an important reason why Yelu Chongyuan did not capture Datong, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable the situation is for Yelu Chongyuan, recently Yelu Hongji in the north has sent troops south, and the original harassment has gradually turned into an offensive, which greatly increases the pressure on Yelu Chongyuan.
In the camp of the Changqing Southern Liao Army, a young prince wearing a python robe galloped with more than 100 cavalry, this person is Yelu Mu, the son of Yelu Chongyuan, the king of Yan, Yelu Mu strangled the war horse under the big tent of Yelu Chongyuan, turned over and dismounted and threw the reins to the guards next to him and then walked towards the big tent.
After entering the account, Yelu Mu knelt down on one knee and bowed to Yelu Chongyuan and said: "The son Yelu Mu greets his father, long live his father, long live, long live." ” Yelu Chongyuan saw that his son was coming, and hurriedly walked down from his dragon chair, and said with a smile on his face: "Mu'er, why are you here, why did you come here before the injuries on your body are healed." ” Yelu Mu stood up, patted his chest vigorously, and said with a smile: "Father, don't worry, the child's injury has long been healed, and there is no major problem." ” "Okay."
Yelu Chongyuan laughed and said; "When my tiger arrives, why worry about the same."
Yelu Mu asked Yelu Chongyuan with a solemn face: "Father, it's been three months, why hasn't my father captured Datong yet?"
"Alas," said Yelu Chongyuan with a sigh; "Yeluren first backed Datong, built a defense line along Qingpi Road to occupy a favorable position, and Xiao Yuanshan echoed it in Yingzhou, this Datong can be described as impregnable, this battle is not easy to fight" "Father, is there really nothing the emperor can do?"
Yelu Mu asked Yelu Chongyuan again.
Yelu Chongyuan replied: "There is a way, but I don't have a general in my hands, so I don't dare to attack easily."
Yelumu asked for orders on the spot: "Erchen is willing to take the order." ” Yelu Chongyuan was overjoyed and said: "Okay, what I am waiting for is my son's words, I have a tiger and why am I afraid of Yelu Renxian." ” "Father, tell me how to fight your son," Yelu Mu asked Yelu Chongyuan.
Yelu Chongyuan walked to the map and said to Yelu Mu: "Mu'er, you see, Datong and Yingzhou are more than 100 miles apart, and the cavalry can arrive within a day, and they can echo each other from afar and be horns for each other, so if you want to break Datong, you must cut off the connection between Datong and Yingzhou." ” "Father's intention is to take down Huairen," Yelu Mu asked boldly.
Yelu Chongyuan said: "Yes, it is really Huairen, Huairen is located between Datong and Yingzhou, it is the only way to the two places, as long as our army can occupy Huairen, then Yeluren first placed this long snake array to defend Datong will be broken, Huairen is the seven inches of this array; But Yeluren is not a fool first, he can't not know the importance of Huairen, there must be heavy troops in Huairen, once attacked, Datong and Yingzhou will inevitably send troops to reinforce, Mu'er's battle is very dangerous, once the slightest mistake is afraid that he will be surrounded under the city of Huairen."
Yelu Mu saluted with a firm face and said, "Father, the son is confident that he can take down Huairen, please ask my father to give an order." ” Yelu Chongyuan patted Yelu Mu's shoulder and said: "My son is brave, I will send you to this battle, I will give you 30,000 iron horses, if you can't attack Huairen for a while, Mu'er, you must withdraw as soon as possible, you know?"
"Yes, the sons and daughters will obey the emperor's holy decree."
Yelumu took the military order.
Then Yelu Chongyuan ordered: "Someone has come to call Yan Shu to me." ” Not long after, Yan Shu came to the big tent of the Chinese army, and after entering the tent, Yan Shu saluted Yelu Chongyuan and said: "The last general Yan Shu, meet Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ” "Aiqing, please get up."
Yelu Chongyuan said to Yan Shu; "I ordered you to be the deputy general, and lead 30,000 iron horsemen to follow the king of Yan to raid Huairen."
"The last general commands."
Yan Shu took the military order.
Yelumu looked at Yan Shu, and then asked Yan Shu, "You are Han." ” "Yes."
Yan Shu immediately replied; "The last general is indeed Han."
Yelu Mu then said to Yelu Chongyuan: "Father, it's okay for the child to go by himself in this battle, it's not cumbersome enough to bring a Han person." ” "Shut up."
Yelu Chongyuan reprimanded Yelu Mu and said; "How can it be child's play to march and fight, since I have already made an order, the two of you must resolutely implement it, if you can't take Huairen, you two will come to see you."
"Yes, the last general of the son."
The two of them took the holy decree.
As Yelu Chongyuan said, Yelu Renxian arranged a long snake formation, and this seven-inch support is indeed in Huairen, Yelu Renxian also knows the importance of Huairen, so he strengthened the city defense of Huairen and stationed 10,000 heavy soldiers, it can be said that Huairen is protected as solid, once Huairen is attacked, Datong and Yingzhou will be the same as the head and tail of the snake, and the middle roll will be able to eat all the enemy troops attacking Huairen.
At this time, Yelu Renxian in the camp on Baishan Mountain is also worried, three months have passed, Datong's grain and grass are about to bottom out, if you want to continue to fight, you must want Xixia to buy a large amount of grain and grass, but Xixia's grain prices are very high, and it is heartbroken to let Yeluren pay for grain first.
"The last general will meet the prince."
After Jerushin entered the account, he bowed to Jeruren first.
"Son, get up," said Jerexin first; "What's going on?"
"Everything is normal, the child thinks Yelu Chongyuan should be trying to drag us down."
Jerushin said to Jerexin first; "Now that we have enough food and grass for ten days, uncle, you have to think of a way quickly."
"Bang," Ye Luren slapped his palm on the handsome case and said angrily; "Li Liangzuo, a despicable villain, sooner or later, this king will have to clean him up with his own hands."
Yeluxin said to Yeluren: "Uncle, now is not the time to be angry, now our army can only get grain and grass from Western Xia, if we offend Li Liangzuo, I am afraid that even our own back road will be cut off." ” At this time, a guard hurriedly ran in and handed a secret letter to Yelu Renxian, who opened the secret letter and read it, laughed and said: "What an endless road":
