Late at night, in the palace of Guangyang Wangfu.
Li Qing changed into a black night suit, and then left quietly through the side door, after avoiding the patrolling soldiers, Li Qing left from the north gate of Xijin Mansion, and now the north gate of Xijin Mansion has been completely bought by Li Qing; The reason why Li Qing left so cautiously was to avoid Yipintang's eyes and not let his emperor Lao Tzu know, but Li Qing didn't expect that everything about himself was actually under the control of his emperor Lao Tzu.
Since leaving Xijin Mansion, Li Qing came to a manor outside the city, knocked on the door three times, two long and one short, the village door opened, Li Qing quickly entered the manor, this is a hidden private manor of Li Qing, but also a secret meeting place for Li Qing, when Li Qing arrived, Yan Shu was already waiting.
"Lord, you can count it."
Yan Shu said after seeing Li Qing.
Li Qing smiled and said; "Okay, don't talk about this, the matter has been arranged by the king, and the people in the palace will claim that the king is sick in the next few days, so let's talk about the situation on your side first."
"Don't worry, all things are ready."
Yan Shu said to Li Qing; "We can leave for Yanshan Daying at any time."
"Okay, let's go now."
Li Qing ordered.
Under the protection of more than 100 cavalry, Li Qing and Yan Shu soon left the secret manor and went north, the Yanshan camp that Yan Shu said was actually the secret base where Li Qing recruited soldiers and horses privately, the Yanshan camp is located in the depths of Yanshan, in fact, the place where the Yanshan camp is located no longer belongs to the territory of the Great Xia Empire, and it only takes one day and one night at most to arrive from the Yanshan camp to Dadingfu, the capital of the Liao State.
Li Qing and the others knew that they would only arrive at the Yanshan camp the next morning, to be honest, the location of the Yanshan camp was indeed very hidden, the entire camp was located in a small valley, and there were secret sentry posts everywhere on the way to the Yanshan camp, and there were some villages, these villages were actually the sentry posts of the camp, and once a stranger approached them, they would be decisively killed.
"It's not far from the big camp, let's take a break in the village ahead," Li Qing said.
"Yes, lord."
After Li Qing and the others came to the village, the food had already been prepared, and in this village, they could even faintly hear the shouting and killing of the Yanshan camp, Li Qing was not the first time to come here, and Li Qing was very satisfied with this hard-working training soldier, which also made Li Qing feel that his money was not spent in vain, and it was very worth it; Li Qing's private soldiers are very well treated, not only are they full of food every day, but they also have a pound of meat per person at noon every day, and the meat alone is 50,000 catties on this day; Even the Imperial Forest Legion and Praetorian Guard of the Xia Army did not have such a high food standard, at most half a catty, while it would be good for other legions to have three or four taels a day.
It is not easy to transport 50,000 catties of meat to this deep mountain every day, these meats are basically purchased from the Liao State, under the banner of smuggling to the Great Xia Empire, the Liao officials along the way have let Li Qing buy it, as for the grain is purchased from Hebei Province, it is also transported here under the banner of smuggling, in order to feed the 50,000 army, Li Qing can say what to make money, in addition to normal trade, it is smuggling; Li Qing earns enough wealth from smuggling every year to feed the 50,000 troops.
The 50,000 army eats and drinks Lazar this month, and it costs a million yuan, plus war horses, training, weapons and armor, in the past three years, Li Qing has spent no less than 80 million yuan in order to build this army of his own, and the reason why there is such a high cost is because many things Li Qing needs to buy at a high price, including war horses and weapons, Li Qing got them through smuggling channels.
This is just the cost of the army, and the cost of buying the officials of the Liao State is not counted, how much money was spent Li Qing himself does not know, anyway, Li Liangzuo has already invested all his family resources into this army, what Li Qing is thinking about now is to completely turn the tables through this army, and the sooner this time, the better, because Li Qing's own finances are about to be unable to hold on.
Leaving the village, Li Qing came to the Yanshan camp, these are another fanatical love for Li Qing, this army belongs to Li Qing completely, even if Li Qing makes them commit suicide, they will not hesitate to execute; Looking at the soldier Li Qing, who was training hard, he felt that his blood was already boiling.
Li Qing asked Yan Shu: "General Yan, can you introduce this army to this king?"
"Lord Wang, there are now a total of 51,672 soldiers in the camp, including 20,000 iron cavalry, all equipped with chain mail made by ourselves, 10,000 spear warriors, 10,000 crossbowmen, 10,000 sword and axe men, and 1,672 heavily armored Mo sword soldiers."
There are very few heavily armored infantry even in the Xia army, after all, the Xia army is an offensive cavalry army, and the reason why Li Qing built this more than 1,500 Mo sword soldiers is actually to deal with the opponent's cavalry, after all, Li Qing only has 20,000 cavalry, and Li Qing's opponents are basically composed of cavalry, in this case, Li Qing needs to have an infantry team that can restrain the cavalry, and the Mo sword soldiers exist for this.
"Okay, great."
Li Qing clapped his hands and applauded; "Soon this king will surprise his father and the kings of the world, this king's spy in Liao has already sent a letter, everything has been prepared, just waiting for the best fighter to appear."
In fact, Li Qing began to form his own private army is to target the Liao State, to prepare his grandfather, although the current Liao State is still Yelu Hongji in power, but Yelu Hongji is already a little powerless, the entire Liao State has some precursors of turmoil, and there is news that Yelu Hongji has suddenly become seriously ill recently, and has summoned the imperial grandson Yelu Yanxi to return to Beijing, Li Qing chose to come to Yanshan camp at this time is to make trouble at the time of the alternation of the throne of Liao.
In the big account of the Chinese army in the Yanshan camp, Li Qing stood in front of the sand table and said to Yan Shu and other generals: "Now that there is turmoil in the Liao country, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji is estimated to not live long, and the imperial grandson Yelu Yanxi has returned to Beijing.
Our army only has 50,000 troops, while the Liao army has more than 300,000 and all of them are cavalry, and the disparity between the forces of the two sides is huge, so our army only has one chance to kill with one blow, and concentrate all its forces to give the Liao the heaviest blow; Although there is a huge disparity in our strength, you don't have to worry, this king has already arranged for this, some of the generals of the Liao army have been bought by this king, and the more than 300,000 Liao troops are not all together, but scattered and stationed in various places, so as long as our army controls the capital of the Liao country at the fastest speed, Dadingfu, then the victory is in hand. ” In fact, for the battle plan of attacking Liao, Li Qing also deduced not once, Li Qing wanted not only to occupy Liao, but also to minimize his own casualties, after all, this army was created by Li Qing with his own hard work, and it is the foundation for himself to gain a foothold in the world in the future, Li Qing certainly does not want the army to suffer too many losses.
