Chapter 7 Snow

An error occurred while processing s private file

The speed of Yelu Buddha Pin can be described as a snail.

Sometimes it is indeed a good thing, but sometimes it is a disaster. For Yelu Foding, he had to be slow because he had only 20,000 people. If 20,000 people hurried to Pingzhou Road and formed a lonely army to go deeper, it would be a search for death. So he was content with himself and dragged at the end.

Yelu Chun told him that the rebels retreated. Please speed up and rush to Luanzhou as soon as possible to meet Zhang Jue and fight Yingzhou together. Yelu Foding did not consider it at all. His official position was large enough. How much contribution could he have to recover Yingzhou? He could not be promoted or promoted, especially in the current situation, he did not even want to take the position of Liaoxing Army as the governor.

Yelu Dashi threw Yu Pass and put the rebels into Pingzhou Road, which caused great trouble to Yanjing. As a result, he patted and left, and left the mess to himself. The Liaoxing Army Jiedushi could not do it. The rebels could go south at any time. If you blocked him, that was your duty, and it was your duty. If you didn't block it, you lost Pingzhou Road. As you are now, your guilt would be great.

Yelu Foding was unwilling to be the governor of the Liaoxing Army, but he could not find an excuse. Just so happened that the rebels withdrew and the deputy envoy Zhang Jue made contributions to defending the city. If he recovered Yingzhou again, he would have made great contributions. It is estimated that under the recommendation of the King of Yan, it would be no problem to be the governor of the Liaoxing Army, so he might as well do a favor and walk slowly, so that Zhang Jue could recover Yingzhou as soon as possible.

Zhang Jue did not dare to take this risk. He would never open the Yifeng City Gate before the reinforcements arrived at the city, or the rebels retreated into Yu Pass. After receiving the letter from Yelu Foding and understanding Yelu Foding's kindness, Zhang Jue replied, thanking Du Tong for his kindness, but I only had 10,000 or 20,000 people left on my hands. Moreover, the injuries were severe, and they were exhausted and unable to fight again. Please come and meet again.

Yelu Buddha laughed and continued to walk his own snail road. Since you, Zhang Jue, don’t want to appreciate it, let Yelu Gao and Yelu Ning recover Yingzhou. In short, before the big and small prefectures on Pingzhou Road were recovered, I would never cross the Luan River. I would rather take off the hat of the Liaoxing Army Jiedushi on the charge of delaying and take off the hat of the Liaoxing Army Jiedushi. This hat cannot be taken, and whoever wears it will be unlucky.

On November 25, he led his army to walk thirty miles, a hundred miles away from Yifeng City, Luanzhou Zhifu. At this time, he received a quick report from Kuaima, and Zhang Jue told him that the rebels had counterattacked and were attacking in Pingzhou. He was probably going to fight head-on with Yelu Gao and Yelu Ning.

Yelu Foding was startled and immediately ordered to camp on the spot and not leave again.

More than an hour later, he received a letter from Yelu Highlands for help, and I was surrounded by rebels in Pheasant. Please come quickly to help.

Yelu Foding stared at the map for a while. He concluded that there was a bloody battle between Yejituo and Shaheyi. Now he rushed to support him and could not help much. It would be better to wait until the reinforcements of the King of Yan arrived and go and meet him. At this time, Zhang Jue sent another letter to urge him to rush to Yifeng City overnight to meet him. Yelu Foding ignored him.

At night, he suddenly received a letter from Yelu Ning. Yelu Ning told him that the main force of the rebels suddenly besieged Shaheyi, and he could not resist it. He had retreated. Judging from the situation on the battlefield, Yelu Gao and the 30,000 palace tent troops may have been wiped out.

Yelu Foding thought for a while and felt that Yelu Ning's analysis was very reasonable. Now Yelu Gao's entire army was wiped out. Yelu Ning retreated. He was already alone. If Li Hu led the horse army to attack overnight, he was dead. The more he thought about it, the more he became, the more he was afraid, and he would never dare to stay near Luanzhou again. He decided to retreat.

"Transfer. Retreat overnight. Retreat across Gushui River."

Yelu Foding said he retreated, and it took more than two hundred miles to retreat. He was anxious that King Yelu Chun of Yan, and tens of thousands of rebels were coming from the direction of Shaheyi. Our army was powerless to resist. He could only retreat and attack Yelu Foding.

The scout came to report to him, and Yelu Foding withdrew his troops overnight.

Li Hu felt it was incredible. In one day, the battle situation suddenly reversed. It was too incredible.

Yelu Ning retreated and could explain it. After all, tens of thousands of troops came from the pheasanttuo to Shaheyi, and they came very fiercely. He was worried about being surrounded and could only retreat in a hurry. Yelu Foton fled in panic and could not explain it. He could only speculate that he was afraid of death. He heard that the rebel army counterattacked and immediately turned around and ran away.

"Li Gang's strategy is the wisest." Li Hu once again admired Li Gang's talent.

If Li Gang hadn't offered his advice, he was commanding tens of thousands of troops to fight bloody battles, and the direction of Shaheyi had been fighting bloody battles. Tomorrow, after Yelu Foding and Zhang Jue met, they would definitely go north to reinforce. He had no choice but to draw troops to block them. In this way, the rebel army fought hard on three battlefields at the same time. The great losses can be imagined. Even if Yelu Gao's 30,000 palace tent troops were eaten, the rebel army would be unable to support it. In the end, it is very likely to retreat to Yu Pass and return without success.

One strategy reversed the situation, and the other strategy saved the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers of the Rebel Army. This Li Gang is indeed as mentioned in "The Legend of Yue Fei", with a talented and a Optimus Prime.

I must not let him go. Li Hu thought to himself that having him by my side would be like a tiger adding wings, no less than a 100,000 army. Before Yan Yun was recovered, I cannot let him go no matter what. Even if the emperor gave the imperial edict, I will never let anyone go.

"General Commander..." Gao Baolong rode his horse to Li Hu and said excitedly, "Now there are only 30,000 palace tent troops left in Yelu Highland. As long as he is forced to break through, we will win this battle."

"Where is Yelu Chun?" Li Hu asked with a smile, "Yelu Chun should have received the news now. If he marched overnight and provided rapid reinforcements, he would definitely reach the pheasanttuo in two days. Therefore, as long as Yelu Gao persists to the death, we will still have to fight a hard battle."

Gao Baolong thought about it, although Yelu Gao lost two reinforcements, he still had the main army of Yelu Chun. Yelu Chun had more than 100,000 people in his hands. If he kept killing him, he would still not be able to resist the rebel army. So the key problem now is that he would either delay Yelu Chun's reinforcement speed or force Yelu Gao to break through immediately.

"Go back first." Li Hu said, "When we arrived at the Pheasanto, we will find a way." Yelu Gao's letter. Yelu Gao said that the rebels counterattacked and he was surrounded by Pheasanto.

Yelu Chun didn't care. Yelu Ning's Lulong army was only twenty miles away from the pheasantuo, and Yelu Foding should have arrived in Luanzhou and met Zhang Jue. They were only more than sixty miles away from the pheasantuo. The four armies together had 10,000 people, and the rebels dared not fight at all. Besides, the purpose of the rebels' counterattack was to restrain the main force of Yanjing and wanted to lure themselves to Pingzhou Road, so they would not fight with the Liao army and would inevitably retreat.

Just two hours later, Yelu Ning's letter arrived.

"Yelu Gao's entire army was wiped out?" Yelu Chun was extremely shocked, desperate, depressed, and immediately became stupid.

Li Shuang looked the letter over and over again several times, and finally sighed helplessly, and determined that Yelu Gao's entire army was indeed wiped out. It is obvious that no matter how strong the rebels are and how strong Li Hu is, it is impossible for him to surround two Liao troops at the same time under the current situation. The only explanation is that the palace tent army suddenly collapsed and gave the rebels a big advantage. Then the rebels ran to surround Yelu Ning. Yelu Ning was decisive and determined, throwing away the baggage and running away, otherwise Lu Long's army might have been defeated.

The whole situation has been unfortunately met by Chen Mi.

Although Li Hu used the strategy of fighting against the west, his real target was not Xingzhong Prefecture and Zhongjing, but Pingzhou Road. This error in judgment led to a major disaster, which led to the Liao army completely losing the initiative on the Southeast Road.

Now Xiao Degong and Xiao Te have not led their troops to reinforce north. Before they retreated, Yanjing was an empty city, so the army of King Yan could not enter Pingzhou Road in any case. Once another defeat was defeated, Li Hu led tens of thousands of rebels to Yanjing, which would not be a disaster, but a disaster for the extinction of the country.

Yelu Chun slowly recovered his calm. He was considering whether to continue the attack? Whether to ignore the safety of Yanjing, attack Xiao Degong from the north and south, and regain the initiative of the Southeast Road again.

The loss of the Southeast Road initiative is a fatal blow to the Liao army. After Li Hu occupied Pingzhou Road, he could threaten Yanjing at any time. Then the Liao army lost one and the other on the entire Southeast Road. If Yanjing was not concerned about Zhongjing, if Zhongjing would not care about Yanjing, he would be extremely passive. If Li Hu could take advantage of the unstable plan of establishing a foothold in Pingzhou Road and attack him back to western Liaoning, the situation would be very different.

However, if the north and south attack, what should we do if the safety of Yanjing is done?

Xiao Degong and Xiao Te did not go north to reinforce. In addition to guarding Zhongjing, they were also responsible for supporting Shangjing. Therefore, since this army has left Beijing, it would be inappropriate to withdraw it, which would seriously undermine the morale of the military and civilians in Shangjing. If they do not withdraw, the garrison of Yanjing and the entire Nanjing Road will depend on these troops in their own hands. Therefore, they cannot bear the responsibility for failure. Once they fail, if Yanjing is lost, they will not redeem their sins even if they die.

Yelu Chun weighed the pros and cons again and again, it was difficult to make a choice.

Li Shuang and Chen Mi dared not make any suggestions. This is a major matter that concerns the danger of the country, it is better to let the King of Yan make a decision.

At this time, the marshal's office marshal's office came in to report the latest military situation. He was about to speak, but he saw Yelu Chun's face looked shocked, pointed at the snowflakes on his clothes and asked sternly, "Is it snowing?"

“It’s snowing.”

Yelu Chun's thin body shook a few times, his expression was extremely painful, and he cried out in a tragic voice, "Heaven abandons the Great Liao, and heaven abandons the Great Liao."
