Datong Ruyang Palace, in the lobby Li Liangzuo and Ji La Siyi had a conversation, mainly to listen to Ji La Siyi's report, although Li Langzuo will receive Ji La Siyi's report every month, but after all, the writing is not clear, through Ji La Siyi's report Li Langzuo can understand the combat strength and basic situation of the Hetao Army in a short period of time.
After listening to Ji Siyi's report, Li Liangzuo said with great satisfaction: "I am completely relieved to have an old general in command of the Hetao army, the old general has worked hard all these years. ” "It is an honor for the old minister to serve His Majesty."
Ji Spicy Siyi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Actually, I came to the old general today to discuss the matter of the new defense line. ” "Your Majesty, are you really planning to withdraw from Datong" Ji Lai asked puzzledly: "The strategic location of this Datong is too important, and Weichen does not recommend that Your Majesty withdraw from Datong; Although we are in a disadvantageous position in Datong, as long as Your Majesty is willing to increase our troops, then with Datong as the center, we can quickly occupy the surrounding areas, establish a stable bridgehead in the southern part of the Liao State, and then expand around with Datong as the center. ” Li Liangzuo sighed and said: "The old general is reasonable, but now is not the time to start a war with Southern Liao, now the Western Xia Kingdom seems to be infinitely beautiful, but it is also full of crises, I will spread the domestic stalls too big, although the treasury collects a lot of taxes, but it is spent more, every money is useful, I have no money to fight now; Moreover, it is not good for us to fight now, we and Southern Liao are desperately fighting to defeat both sides, but in the end, we let Northern Liao and the Great Song Dynasty choose a cheaper, then we are not at a loss, so the old general does not have to be anxious, this battle will be fought by you sooner or later, and we will come back sooner or later. ” "Then the old minister is waiting for this day."
Ji Spicy Siyi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo instructed Xiao Zhuozi: "Xiao Zhuozi take out the map." ” Soon Xiao Zhuozi had already prepared the map on the ground, Li Liangzuo took off his shoes and walked on this large sheepskin map, Ji La Siyi also walked up, Li Langzuo sat on the ground and pointed to the terrain around Datong and said to Ji La Siyi: "Old general, please see, this Datong is in a basin, the surrounding terrain is high, the middle terrain is low, the most important points include Jiaoshan, Fengyi, Huairen and Baisaka Road, although Baidaoban is the farthest away from Datong, but this is still under our control. ” "Your Majesty means that the new line of defense will be built with the white road board as the center."
Ji Spicy said.
Li Liangzuo drew an arc on the map and said: "I plan to establish three solid bridgeheads in Xuande, Baidaoban and Heyin, and use Fengzhou, Yunnei, and Shuozhou as fulcrums to establish a large in-depth defense line; A beacon tower is built every 10 miles in various places, and a military village is seen every 50 miles, and troops are stationed inside, and guerrilla cavalry teams are formed to patrol, and in the event of a war, soldiers and horses can be quickly assembled. ” Ji La Siyi thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, a lot of troops, material and financial resources are needed since then, so it is not a small expense."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "Don't worry about the cost, Yeluren has been in Datong for so many years, and this family background is still there, as for the military strength, I allow you to expand the army, but it has to be approved by the Military Affairs Yuan, as for the cost of expanding the army, I will subsidize you from my own treasury, and the other part will be solved by the old general himself, so that the soldiers can do tuntian around the camp and fort, etc., and the imperial court will be exempt from tax." ” Ji La Siyi assured Li Liangzuo: "The old minister will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations, and after the old minister returns, he will discuss with the generals and hand over the plan to His Majesty as soon as possible." ” "Okay, then it's settled."
Li Liangzuo said.
"Your Majesty, Weichen still has something to report."
Ji Spicy Siyi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo replied: "If the old general has anything to say, just say it bluntly. ” "Yes."
Ji Spicy Siyi said to Li Liangzuo; "Your Majesty, our army and the Northern Liao army are basically eating and living together, and there have always been contradictions between the two armies, and many of them have participated in the Battle of Volojiao City that year, and it is easy to have a weapon fight at this time."
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said: "There are two ways to solve this matter, first: to relocate the Northern Liao army under Yelu Renxian, and second: to gradually digest and annex the soldiers and horses under Yelu Renxian and Xiao Yuanshan; The Northern Liao army is not as good as us in terms of equipment, food and various treatments, so we use this as an inducement to induce them to surrender, and also warn our brothers not to take the initiative to provoke, of course, if they dare to find trouble, we are not afraid of them. ” "Yes, Wechen wrote it down."
Ji Spicy said.
At this point, Li Yi hurriedly walked in and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty is not good, just now the horse was reported, and the Southern Liao army was mobilized in large numbers, as if it was going to attack Datong." ” Li Liangzuo said with a smile: "It should be impossible to attack the city, Li Yi sent people to closely monitor every move of the Southern Liao army, and report anything to me immediately."
"Yes, the last general commands."
Li Yi saluted and said.
After Li Yi left, Ji La Siyi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, according to the old minister's opinion, the Southern Liao army should not attack the city; It must have been the news of our evacuation, and they wanted to ambush us halfway. ” Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "I have thought of it a long time ago, but I want to see if he has such a good tooth mouth." ” On the other side, in the camp of Yelu Chongyuan in Fengyi, after Li Liangzuo led the army into Datong, Yelu Chongyuan immediately sent preparations to start arranging the ambush site, in Yelu Chongyuan's big tent, Zheng Hun and Yelu Mu were there, because this time it was a top-secret operation, so there were not many people who participated, and they were all Yelu Chongyuan's henchmen.
Yelu Chongyuan first said: "According to the results of my discussion with Li Liangzuo, he will lead his army to leave from the south gate in the night of three days, and you will see what we should do."
Zheng Hun first said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's understanding of Li Liangzuo, he will definitely not evacuate according to the specified time, and it is very likely that he will act tomorrow night, and Weichen suggests that we should prepare early." ” "The prime minister has a point."
Yelu Chongyuan said; "Li Liangzuo, this guy has always been uneasy and plays cards."
Yelu Mu said to Yelu Chongyuan: "Father, is Li Liangzuo willing not to withdraw his troops from the south gate, but will choose the west gate or the north gate?"
Yelu Chongyuan said: "It's not impossible, but it's extremely unlikely; The road outside the north gate was rough and difficult to walk, especially at night, and if they walked from the north gate, it was estimated that they would not be able to go far until dawn; There is also the West Gate, outside which is an open field, which, in the event of a large-scale attack, is likely to turn into a rout of the entire army; The south side is the best choice, outside the south gate is a combination of plains and mountains, and there are many roads, so the south gate is the best place for Li Liangzuo to evacuate. ” "Erchen understands, thanks to his father's guidance, Erchen will send someone to find the most reasonable ambush location."
Yelu Mu said to Yelu Chongyuan.
"Okay, then this matter will be handed over to Mu'er."
Yelu Chongyuan smiled.
In Yelu Chongyuan's opinion, this is a great credit, and of course it is the most suitable for his son.
