Besides, Li Liangzuo set out from Zhenzhou and led an army of 350,000 to embark on a journey to the eastern grasslands, including 50,000 Central Army and 300,000 Grassland Corps, while the remaining 50,000 Central Army remained in Zhenzhou to guard; It is obvious that in this Eastern Expedition, Li Liangzuo intends to use the Grassland Cavalry Corps as the main force; In order to facilitate the control of this huge grassland corps, Li Liangzuo divided it into five major legions, each with 60,000 people.
Among them, the First Army was commanded by Sun Zhen; The Second Army was commanded by Feng Box; The Third Army was commanded by Zhu Xu; The Fourth Army was commanded by Qin Hu; The Fifth Army was commanded by An Qinggui; The commanders of these corps appointed by Li Liangzuo were all generals who had served as deputy generals in various battalions of the Central Army; Although they are all adjutant generals, the adjutant generals of these Central Army are much higher in rank than the adjutant generals of the border army below, and they are promoted much faster.
As for the other 50,000 central troops, this time Li Liangzuo handed over all of them to Li Yi's command, and Li Liangzuo led 350,000 troops to kill Yong'an Mountain this time; Li Liangzuo led an army of 350,000 troops along the Xuzhu River all the way to the east, passing along the way through the main city of Tala, Pibeihe City, and Hedong City, and then turned south through the black car Murowei to Yong'an Mountain; Wherever the Xia army passed along the way, all the troops and cities along the way surrendered without any resistance.
Li Liangzuo's Xia army can be said to have arrived at Yelu Hongji's old nest Yong'an Mountain without blood, Yong'an Mountain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is a fertile prairie under the mountain, which is a good place for nomads to recuperate.
But this time Li Liangzuo is here, Xia Jun is here, and whether Yelu Chongyuan can continue to exist depends on Li Liangzuo's mood.
When Li Liangzuo led an army of 350,000 to Yong'an Mountain, Yelu Hongji had already led more than 100,000 troops to wait, which was already all the troops that Yelu Hongji could gather, although Yelu Hongji was less than half of Li Liangzuo's Xia army in terms of soldiers, but these more than 100,000 troops were veterans of a hundred battles, and the generals who led them were Yelu Yixin, Yelu Renxian, Xiao Yuanshan and other famous generals like Yelu Yixin, Yelu Renxian, Xiao Yuanshan, and the rest of the generals like Yelu He, Yelu Xin, Zhao Ge and others are also battle-hardened generals.
The two armies confronted each other at the foot of Yong'an Mountain, the Northern Liao Army was personally commanded by Yelu Hongji, the Northern Liao Army lined up on a gentle half-hillside, occupying a favorable terrain, once the Northern Liao Army launched an attack, just like a tiger descending the mountain, the war horse could accelerate to the speed of the sprint in a short time; On the other hand, Li Liangzuo said that the Xia army under his command did not have any advantages in all other aspects, except for the superiority in troops.
Although the Xia army had an army of 350,000, it was thousands of miles away from Zhenzhou all the way to Yong'an Mountain, and the army marched for several days in a row, and it was already the end of the crossbow; Moreover, the Xia army took the grassland cavalry as the main force this time, these people had just surrendered to Li Liangzuo, it turned out that there was some hatred between the various departments, although Li Liangzuo softened them together, but these hatreds still existed, and they may exist for a long time, that is to say, Li Liangzuo also does not have an advantage in people.
This time, Li Liangzuo can be said to have no advantage at all except for the large number of people; Li Liangzuo looked at the Northern Liao army that was already ready to go, and was thinking about whether to fight this battle, if the war was fought even if it was finally won, it would be a disastrous victory, but Li Liangzuo was bound to win the eastern grassland, if the two armies did not go to war, Li Liangzuo must Yelu Hongji take the initiative to hand over this place, and if he wanted Yelu Hongji to take the initiative to hand it over, he had to give it a large enough benefit.
We can imagine what kind of interests can make Yelu Hongji willingly give up thousands of miles of old nests, the eastern grassland can be said to be the foundation of Yelu Hongji's survival, without the eastern grassland Yelu Hongji is equivalent to homeless, just when Li Liangzuo was thinking about it, Yelu Yue slowly rode to Li Liangzuo's side.
Looking at Li Liangzuo's face full of sorrow, Ye Luyue asked Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, the concubine has never seen you like this." ” Li Liangzuo came back to his senses and saw Ye Luyue and immediately said: "Why did you come here, this is a battlefield, not a place where women should come." ” "The concubines are here, it's better for Your Majesty to tell the troubles in your heart, maybe the concubines can still help Your Majesty," Ye Luyue said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo sighed and said: "Actually, it's nothing, I just don't want to fight this battle, except for the advantage in troops, I don't have any advantage in all other aspects, once the fight is at most a miserable victory; What's more, on the other side is your father, my father-in-law, how can I say that we are also a family. ” Ye Luyue said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really a good calculation, I don't want to fight, I want to get my father's place to live, do you think my father will agree?"
"This" Li Liangzuo didn't know what to say for a while.
Ye Luyue continued: "If Your Majesty gives your concubine the right to act arbitrarily, the concubine will have a way to make her father willingly dedicate the entire eastern grassland to Your Majesty. ” Li Liangzuo was overjoyed when he heard this: "Really, you really have a way to let my soldiers get the entire eastern grassland without bloodshed." ” Ye Luyue nodded, and Li Liangzuo said very happily: "Okay, I will be subject to your arbitrary power, as long as you can let me take the entire eastern grassland, I will be rewarded." ” "Then please ask Your Majesty to withdraw first," Ye Luyue said to Li Liangzuo with a smile.
Li Liangzuo immediately issued a military order: "Order the army, retreat thirty miles and set up camp." ” After Li Liangzuo led the army to leave slowly, Yeluyue was protected by dozens of personal soldiers sent by Li Liangzuo and walked towards the Northern Liao Army's military formation; On the other side of the Northern Liao army's military formation, Yelu Yixin pointed to the slowly retreating Xia army and said, "Your Majesty, look, the Xia army has withdrawn." ” "Your Majesty, this is the perfect time for us to pursue the Xia army, please order the whole army to attack, and Weichen is sure to defeat the Xia army."
Yeluren first asked Yeluhongji for his life.
Yelu Hongji looked at the Xia army who was slowly withdrawing and said: "King Ruyang, it is how we defeated the Xia army in front of us, once the two armies start a war, it will be a situation of endless death, do you think that now my Great Liao can still confront Western Xia?"
"Your Majesty, look, it looks like someone is coming."
Xiao Yuanshan pointed ahead and said to Yelu Hongji; "It may be Li Liangzuo's envoy."
Yelu Hongji immediately ordered: "The herald ordered the army to withdraw to the camp, since Li Liangzuo sent an envoy, it means that there is still something to talk about in this matter." ” Ye Luyue and dozens of cavalry were very fast, and soon caught up with the Northern Liao army that was evacuating, but was soon stopped by a Northern Liao military captain, who stopped Ye Luyue and said: "Where the army is marching, no one is allowed to approach. ” Ye Luyue didn't talk nonsense, and whipped the captain and said: "Bastard thing, I don't even know this princess, take me to see my father, do you have to suffer if you delay the matter?"
The captain immediately bowed down and said, "Please forgive the princess, and I will take you to see Your Majesty." ” Thanks to the anonymous book friend and 88 novels for their recommendation, Tianyu is grateful:
