Since Li Liangzuo occupied Dading Mansion, before the arrival of the Eastern Liao Army reinforcements, he had sent troops to go out to plunder, after the arrival of the Eastern Liao Army, Li Liangzuo's Xia army directly retreated in the city, in fact, this is Li Liangzuo is recuperating, after a long-distance attack, and the combat power of the Xia army has already been at the end of the strong crossbow, and before occupying Dading Mansion, Li Liangzuo's Xia army has no shelter here at all, so it is impossible to have enough time to rest.
After more than ten days, winter has come at this time, although there is no snowfall, but the weather is already very cold, winter marching and fighting has been a taboo for soldiers since ancient times, and now due to Li Liangzuo's repeated delays, it is inevitable to carry out this war in winter, with the advent of winter, the Eastern Liao army has become passive again.
Since Li Liangzuo had already occupied Dading Mansion, the Xia army was stationed in the city, which became anti-guest-oriented; Because the Xia army was in the city, compared to the Eastern Liao army living in tents with ventilation on all sides, the Xia army lived in warm and comfortable barracks, and because the supply line was too long, the grain and grass of the Eastern Liao army began to be affected by winter, and the food quality of the soldiers began to decline.
On the south gate tower of Dading Mansion, Li Liangzuo stood on the city gate tower and looked into the distance, Li Yi stood beside Li Liangzuo and said: "Your Majesty, it seems that it is probably going to snow in the next few days, and it is estimated that the Eastern Liao army should also withdraw."
Li Liangzuo did not answer Li Yi's words, but asked Li Yi: "Is there any news of Yelu Hongji in the past few days?"
Li Yi reported to Li Liangzuo: "According to the report of the secret agent, Yelu Hongji led the Northern Liao Army to recover Xingzhong Mansion yesterday. ” "Bring me the map."
Li Liangzuo said lightly.
Li Yi immediately took out the map, and the two soldiers unfolded the map, Li Liangzuo pointed to the map and said to Li Yi: "I didn't expect Yelu Hongji to move very fast, why did he recover Xingzhong Mansion so quickly." ” Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, although Xingzhong Mansion is not as good as Dading Mansion, it is also the second largest city in Zhongjing Province, and now that Yelu Hongji occupies Xingzhong Mansion, its strength will expand rapidly, which is a bit unfavorable for us."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said to Li Yi: "Good boy, the head of the analysis is the Tao, and it has not been in vain what I have taught you over the years." ” "The last general is shallow, he can only see this, and please ask Your Majesty for advice."
Li Yi bowed to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo pointed to the map and said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, you see that Xingzhong Mansion is more than two hundred miles away from Dading Mansion where we are located, located in the east of Dading Mansion, and it is the only way for Dading Mansion to enter Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.
"I see, thank you for your majesty's teachings."
Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo said: "It seems that I still really underestimate Yelu Hongji, I didn't expect this person to have such a means, it seems that I will have to be more vigilant against him in the future." ” "Yelu Hongji's material is mediocre, the last general thinks that His Majesty doesn't have to take it to heart, even if Yelu Hongji is unwilling to let us get involved in Tokyo Dao, it's nothing, the essence of the Liao Kingdom is in Nanjing Dao, as long as we take Nanjing Dao Xijin Mansion this time we will make a fortune."
Li Yi said excitedly to Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo solemnly said to Li Yi: "Li Yi, you say, why haven't you grown up after following me for so long?
” "Your Majesty's lesson is that it is the last general who is blind."
Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo; "But now that the road to the east has been blocked by Yelu Hongji, how should our army act?"
After thinking about it for a long time, the corners of his mouth rose slightly and said: "Don't worry, I have my own way, even if I can't completely destroy Tokyo Road this time, I can still hit it hard."
Seeing Li Liangzuo's hideous face, Li Yi couldn't help but shudder in his heart again, Li Yi knew that whenever Li Liangzuo made such an expression, it meant that the enemy opposite him was going to be unhappy, and it was very unhappy; When Li Yi was thinking about how to get involved in Tokyo Road, Li Liangzuo stood on the tower and suddenly found that the Eastern Liao army outside the city was a little different from usual, in the past, the Eastern Liao army was afraid of the attack of the Xia army in the city, so it was usually very heavily guarded, and the soldiers in the battalion were all wearing armor and ready to meet at any time.
But now the Eastern Liao army outside the city has relaxed a lot, and many soldiers are sleeping in the daytime, which makes Li Liangzuo have an ominous premonition, Li Liangzuo asked Li Yi: "This situation has happened for a few days. ” Li Yi thought for a while and said, "It should be two or three days, what's wrong with Your Majesty?"
Li Liangzuo asked Li Yi: "Li Yi, don't you feel that something is wrong?"
"There's nothing wrong with that," Li Yi said puzzled; "Didn't the Eastern Liao Army hear this?"
Li Liangzuo looked at Li Yi angrily and said: "I can tell you for sure now that the Eastern Liao Army's unconventional actions are absolutely unspeakable; If my guess is correct, there are two reasons why the Eastern Liao army did this, the first is to prepare for the siege, and the second is to prepare to retreat. ” "Your Majesty means that Jerunerugu may have run away."
Li Yi asked Li Liangzuo.
Li Liangzuo thought for a while and said: "It should be good, what is in front of us now may just be his suspicious plan." ” Li Yi said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, if it is a suspicious plan, we will know if we try it; Your Majesty is requested to give an order that the last general is willing to lead 5,000 iron horsemen to explore the camp. ” Li Liangzuo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you five thousand iron horses, but you have to deal with it carefully, and if you find something wrong, withdraw immediately." ” "Yes, the end will be done."
Li Yi took the military order and said.
"Squeak squeak" With the city gate slowly opened, Li Yi led five thousand cavalry to kill outside the city, along the way Li Yi led five thousand cavalry to pass the pass and kill all the rangers of the Eastern Liao Army, but this was after all in the daytime, and soon Li Yi was discovered by the Eastern Liao Army in the camp, and suddenly there was a big chaos in the camp.
Li Yi saw that his opportunity to make meritorious service had come, and immediately led five thousand elite cavalry to kill in the camp of the Eastern Liao Army, Li Liangzuo, who was standing at the head of the city, watched Li Yi's actions go so smoothly, Li Liangzuo suddenly had an extremely ominous feeling, Li Liangzuo felt that all this was too smooth, as if people had prepared it in advance.
The past two days have been too busy, working overtime every day, please understand:
