On an unnamed hillside in the north of Datong City, Li Liangzuo stood alone in front of the army and looked down on the Southern Liao army under the hillside, while Yelu Chongyuan could only look up to the combined forces of Western Xia and Northern Liao, which made the strength occupy a great advantage in momentum, and secondly, Li Liangzuo also occupied an absolute geographical advantage, and the cavalry could exert super combat effectiveness when attacking from the front, which I would not say much earlier.
The two armies confronted each other in the dark night, and the reason why they did not immediately start a war was because the commanders and generals of both sides did not want to fight, Li Liangzuo really did not want to fight, and Yelu Chongyuan did not dare to fight; Yelu Chongyuan, like his son Yelu Mu at this time, was very cautious about Li Liangzuo's Xia army, for fear that he would fall into the trap of the Xia army if he didn't pay attention, and the initiative on the battlefield slowly changed easily.
Li Liangzuo saw that although the Southern Liao army under the hillside was also a little frightened, he still rode slowly down the hillside alone, to say that Li Liangzuo was not afraid that it was false, sometimes even if he was afraid, he had to do it hard; Yelu Chongyuan saw Li Liangzuo coming down alone, and he also greeted him alone, in Yelu Chongyuan's opinion, since Li Liangzuo dared to come alone, he must have something to rely on, and Li Liangzuo's biggest reliance is nothing more than the army behind him.
This was the third meeting between the two, and when Li Liangzuo saw Yelu Chongyuan, he immediately asked: "I don't know why Emperor Nanliao came here."
Yelu Chongyuan stared at the banner of Xia Jun on the hillside for a while and said: "It's nothing, I just came to see how Emperor Xia came here, according to the original agreement between you and me, Xia Jun should not leave from the south gate until tomorrow night, why is he here now?"
Li Liangzuo smiled and said: "It's okay to take the brothers out to yo-yo at night, I didn't expect to meet Emperor Nanliao here, what a coincidence."
"I didn't expect to be able to meet Emperor Xia here, Emperor Xia suddenly brought troops here without saying hello, I thought there was a big attack on the enemy," Yelu Chongyuan replied with a smile.
"I see."
Li Liangzuo said; "It seems that this is a misunderstanding, since you have met Emperor Nanliao, are you interested in letting the soldiers of the two armies compete in front of the battle?"
Yelu Chongyuan couldn't figure out the truth of Li Liangzuo, so he refused: "That's not necessary, we will have a chance in the future." ” "In that case, I'll go back."
After Li Liangzuo finished speaking, he patted the horse and returned to his camp.
Although Yelu Chongyuan wanted to order Li Liangzuo to be stopped, but he didn't have such great courage, he could only watch Li Liangzuo disappear into the busy night, to say that Li Liangzuo was not afraid of it just now It was bragging, after returning to the hillside, Li Liangzuo found that his clothes were soaked.
Li Liangzuo stared at the Southern Liao army under the hillside with his eyes and ordered: "Order the army to retreat slowly, and the banner remains in place and does not move." ” Not long after Li Liangzuo returned to the hillside, Yelu Mu led his army to arrive, and Yelu Mu vaguely saw the coalition army retreating on the hillside, so he asked Yelu Chongyuan: "Please ask my father to give an order, let the sons lead the troops to intercept them." ” Yelu Chongyuan looked at the hillside and said unwillingly: "No need, Li Liangzuo is cunning, I can't tell if there is any trap ahead, let's order the withdrawal of the army."
"Please think twice, once we miss this opportunity, then I am afraid it will be difficult for us to catch them again in the future."
Yelu Mu pleaded with Yelu Chongyuan.
Yelu Mu has always had a wish, that is, to have a big war with Li Liangzuo, in this era Li Liangzuo has proved his strength through his great military exploits, since he personally led the troops, as long as Li Liangzuo commanded the Xia army has never been defeated, so Li Liangzuo is regarded as the god of war by the people whether it is in Western Xia, or in the Great Song Dynasty and the people of Liangliao, in Yelu Mu's opinion, if he can defeat the god of war, it is not better than the god of war But Yelu Mu's wish was disappointed tonight, Yelu Chongyuan had already issued a military order to withdraw the army, even if Yelu Mu was bold, he would not dare to disobey Yelu Chongyuan's holy decree, so he could only follow the army to Datong City unwillingly, and the current Datong City can be said to be a completely empty city, except for some helpless people in the city, there is nothing left; Li Liangzuo did not do too much, almost all of the people who were robbed were some landlords, and the things of the poor people were not touched at all, and before leaving, Li Liangzuo also distributed some food to them.
Therefore, Li Liangzuo was supported and loved by many people in Datong, which also laid a fatal hidden danger for the Xia army to invade Datong in the future; Besides, after Yelu Chongyuan withdrew his troops from the north, he immediately occupied Datong City, and this time Yicheng did almost no damage to Datong, and Datong City still stood in the north of the Chinese land as usual; After Yelu Chongyuan occupied Datong, it was equivalent to establishing an important barrier to the west of Nanjing's Xijin Mansion, and at the same time, Datong would also become the base for the advance of the Southern Liao army to the west and south.
After getting the Xijing Datong Mansion, Yelu Chongyuan was basically satisfied, although there was a major conflict between the Southern Liao Army and the Xia Army, and both sides suffered heavy casualties, but at this time there was a strange phenomenon, that is, both sides did not mention this matter, Li Liangzuo and Yelu Chongyuan both regarded this matter as if it had not happened; After a night of conflict, the two continued to send people to contact each other, and still carried out the original secret agreement.
In response to that sentence, there are no eternal friends and no eternal enemies between nations, only eternal interests; The relationship between Li Liangzuo and Yelu Chongyuan changed again, and their situational enemies turned into friends in interests, and the Western Xia and Southern Liao secretly carried out border trade through smuggling activities, trading the materials that the other side urgently needed and the large amount of by-products left by their own.
This battle is known as the Battle of Datong in the history of later generations, around the Xijing Jiedu envoy to the jurisdiction of the four states, the Western Xia, Northern Liao and Southern Liao launched a deceitful competition, whether it is the use of force or through strategic diplomacy, the three forces come and go in the hope of being able to become the maximum benefit.
So far, the battle of Datong has basically ended, and the greatest benefit is naturally Li Liangzuo's Western Xia, Li Liangzuo only used tens of thousands of troops basically without damage, and successfully occupied the entire Shuozhou, and once again looted the Xijing Datong Mansion of Liao.
The second is Yelu Chongyuan, Yelu Chongyuan's main force of the Southern Liao Army went all the way from Nanjing Road to the west, and successively captured Ulzhou, Yingzhou and Xijing Datong Mansion, but the area of Jinheshan and Xuande in the northwest under the jurisdiction of Datong Mansion was not under the control of Yelu Chongyuan's Southern Liao Army, but in the hands of Li Liangzuo's Xia army, Li Liangzuo directly stationed in Xuande after retreating from Datong to the north.
The heaviest loss should be the Northern Liao Xijing Jiedu to make Yelu Renxian, Yelu Renxian under the command of the elite of the Datong Army has almost been lost, and the territory under its jurisdiction is basically divided by Li Liangzuo and Yelu Chongyuan, the current Yelu Renxian can be said to be poor and white, without the support of Li Liangzuo, it is estimated that even the 20,000 troops he has just recruited under his command can not be fed.
As the saying goes, a good barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, and Yeluren attributed all his fall to the point where he is now on Li Liangzuo's body, so Yeluren has always taken revenge on Li Liangzuo and made some benefits from Li Liangzuo's body
