Chapter 31: The Eastward Strategy

The Huli Army won the first battle. Although it did not kill a single enemy, it achieved brilliant results. It seized a huge convoy of the Liao army and brought back a large amount of food and weapons. This not only boosted the morale of the rebel army, but also alleviated the crisis within the rebel army. The general general Li Hu, who commanded the attack, had a sudden increase in reputation. Legends and myths about him quickly spread in the mountains. The Liaodong Han people came to join in a row, and there were endless streams.

Half a month later, Li Hu invited generals from all armies to discuss matters at the Central Army's tent and proposed a strategy for eastward development.

A stone stirred up a thousand waves, and everyone spoke in unanimously and opposed it.

Li Hu was stunned.

Luo Qinghan, the commander of the Black Mountain Army, believed that the time for going down the mountain was not ripe. It was not advisable to launch military operations before a large-scale decisive battle broke out between the Liao and Jin dynasties. It was better to train troops and prepare for the momentum. The commander of the Shenlong Army, Huo Liuge, and Zhang Gaoer, the commander of the King of Hell Army, also agreed with this view.

Li Jin, the head coach of the Thunder Army, proposed a strategy of going south. He felt that the rebel army currently lacked the strength to compete with the Liao and Jin countries, so he should go south as soon as possible and be backed by the Song Dynasty. This way, he could attack and retreat and defend. If it really doesn't work, he could still defect to the Song Dynasty and return to the Heavenly Dynasty. Li Jin's idea was also supported by some generals. After all, the rebel army had no territory and no foundation for sustainable development, and the prospects were really bleak.

Luo Sinan and Tieying are members of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. Of course, they have to support Li Hu, but Li Hu did not discuss with them before he made this suggestion. Although they did not agree, they dared not express their opinions.

Luo Sinan even suspected that Li Hu had ulterior motives because attacking the Jurchens eastward was what Yelu Dashi asked Li Hu to do, and the first battle to advance eastward was to attack Yizhou. Obviously, Li Hu was trying to implement Dashi's plan. In this way, the attack on the Liao army's baggage team would seem to be full of doubts.

"Uncles and aunts, can we maintain until winter with our current situation?" Perhaps because of the relationship between the general manager, Li Hu is now speaking well in public. "Even if it can be maintained until winter, how can we live in winter? It's so cool."

This problem is very sharp and is also a problem that the commanders of each army are both worried and unable to solve.

"Can the strategy of advancing east be solved?" Li Jin asked without hesitation, "In my opinion, the strategy of advancing east is to seek death."

Li Hu was angry when he saw him. When he heard him questioning himself, his eyes immediately glared at him.

Li Jin was twenty-five or six years old, tall and big, with a white face and a whisper, and a dignified appearance. He had a hint of elegance in his mighty appearance. He looked good, but what was offensive was that his arrogant expression and arrogant tone were really unbearable. He couldn't listen to anything others said and thought he was self-righteous, so everyone called him a little donkey, who was stubborn and stupid.

"Haha... The general general may not be willing to seek death, but it is like killing..." Brother Huo Liu's eyes turned around on Zhang Gao'er's face, and then smiled meaningfully, "As for great things, someone always has to give his life. From ancient times to the present, it has always been like this, haha..."

Brother Huo Liu is in his thirties, with a short face and beard, his eyes are deep, and his eyes are always filled with a noble aura, and his face always has a thoughtful look. After he said this, even if Zhang Gao'er was an idiot, he would have to turn his mind three times and think about it.

Zhang Gaoer is not tall, with a medium-sized and thin figure. At the age of twenty-seven or eight, he has a wide chin, which makes his face look big. Perhaps because he is a horse thief in the prairie for many years, his skin is very rough and appears an abnormal reddish brown color, his eyes are sharp and a murderous aura. This person's hair and beard are different. He has a thick and black short moustache on his upper lip, and his long hair is combed into strands of random scattering, which looks very strange, making people feel so guilty that they dare not approach it.

Li Hu was very scared when he saw him for the first time. Later, he saw him more and more, although his fear was reduced, he still didn't dare to face him head-on. Zhang Gao'er was not very fond of talking, and had a gloomy face. The hoarse voice revealed a fearful and powerful force. It gave people the feeling that if you don't listen to him, the next moment, the white knife might be in the red knife.

Zhang Gao'er had been holding her arms and lowering her head. When she heard Brother Huo Liu's words, she seemed to ponder for a moment, then suddenly raised her head, and two murderous gazes shot towards Li Hu like sharp arrows.

Li Hu was shocked and didn't dare to look at him at all. Even so, he still felt a chill on the back of his head and his hair stood up.

"Ghost Commander, if someone is thinking about killing people every day, he will naturally worry about being killed at all times." Luo Qinghan is majestic and speaks loudly. Although he was forced to be slaughtered by the Liao army, leaving behind a piece of stain, his reputation among the rebels is still prominent and his prestige is also very high. Huo Liuge's actions of chasing right and wrong at will make him angry, "Brothers are fighting against each other, and they are all things that the relatives are happy when they are loved by their enemies." Luo Qinghan looked at Huo Liuge, and punched the counter and shouted in a loud voice, "If anyone wants to kill his brother, he is the friend of the Suolu, the enemy of the Han people, and everyone can kill him."

There was a silence in the tent. Brother Huo Liu looked at him with a look of shock and embarrassment. Zhang Gao'er looked at him with his eyes slanted, and a contemptuous sneer appeared from his nose.

"Today we are discussing the issue of the rebel army's way out, which is related to the life and death of the rebel army. Brothers, please stop talking and listen to the general commander's speech." Dong Zhongsun came forward to smooth things over. "I'm talking in front. The general commander is the general commander of the rebel army. Brothers, don't shout at him in big or small. Who dares to commit crimes again? I'll serve the law."

"Puchi..." Someone saw that Old Dong was very funny and couldn't help it, and he grinned and laughed.

"Zhi Madam, are you looking for death?" Dong Zhongsun was furious, grabbed the big bowl of water on the table and smashed it. Suddenly screamed, accompanied by a scream in the middle, and someone jumped up, "Baopiao, dare you hit me? I chopped off your bird head."

The big tent was immediately in chaos, and the trunks and bowls flew together in the air, and the people on the ground were slammed into pieces.

Li Hu laughed and laughed, it was like this every time, lively, haha... I would be fine if there was a thunder that shook the sky. At this time, I would have put it outside the tent, which would have shocked the earth and made them scare. Haha... This is the true nature of the heroes of the grassroots. I wonder if Liu Bang's subordinates were like this back then, but Liu Bang had a group of obedient little brothers, but now I am serving a group of grandpas... A thief, one day I will treat you to obediently and lie on the ground and humming.

In this world, some people sing the role of "Brother" and some people sing the role of "Brother" and Luo Qinghan and Tieying are people who sing the role of "Brother" and "Brother" are coaxing and persuading each other, and finally calmed down the storm. The generals sat down again and continued the topic just now.

It was Li Hu who spoke first. He just started and before he could speak deeper, he was interrupted by Li Jin's violent squirting. Now he didn't dare to talk anymore, picking up important words to avoid trouble again. These grandpas are too powerful and can't afford to mess with them.

After thinking about it for half a month after returning to the mountain, I finally figured it out. It was still Ma Kuo's good boy. Based on his analysis of the situation between Jin and Liao, he finally guessed Yelu Dashi's intentions and thought of some countermeasures. He worked hard to prepare for so long that he could not rot in his stomach.

It is unrealistic to go south now. There are large army of Liao in Zhongjing Road and Nanjing Road. The rebel army cannot even solve the problem of eating now. What kind of war will it go south to fight?

Isn’t you going east to fight? Yes, you have to fight, but not to get into Tokyo Road and Jingou to grab territory, but to grab some grain and spend the winter in the mountains.

If we want to spend the winter in the mountains, we need to solve two problems, one is food and the other is Yelu Mage.

How to solve the problem of food? The Khitans blocked the mountains from three directions, so we could only find a way from the Jin Kingdom. If we could get food from the Jin Kingdom, transportation safety was a problem, so we had to eat Yelu Ma Ge.

Zhongjing Road is close to the capital of Liao Kingdom. It has more troops and relatively concentrated troops, so it cannot defeat them. Shangjing Road has relatively fewer troops and is scattered. It just so happened that Yelu Mage led his main force to station in the mountain city, far away from Shangjing's capital, which is very beneficial for us to eat him. Yelu Mage has won many battles this year and is arrogant. He actually ran to the bottom of the mountain to stare at us. If he doesn't eat him, let alone winter, he probably won't be able to pass the autumn.

Li Hu said this and stopped, "Uncles and aunts, what do you have to say?"

This is the key. If everyone agrees with their own opinions, the following things will come naturally.

The head coaches of each army agreed with Li Hu. Many people actually considered it a long time ago, but they were helpless. If this kid could come up with a solution today, he would have to be convinced if he was not convinced. They did have the ability.

How can we get food from the Jin Dynasty? Simple, the rebels all dispatched to advance eastward and attacked it. When we attacked the Jurchens, Liaogou was of course happy, so neither Yelu Mage from Shangjing Road nor Yelu Yuji from Zhongjing Road or Yelu Dashi from Yelu Dashi, they would take the opportunity to attack us.

Hundreds of thousands of people went down the mountain, and the momentum was amazing. In order to block us, the Jurchens must mobilize heavy troops. In this way, the troops in other places will be weak. The Liao army, which had long been planning to counterattack, would react immediately. Yelu Dashi and Yelu Mage could both attack the Jin army.

We are not in a hurry to attack, fight and stop, and slowly waste with the Jurchens. The Jurchens can't afford to delay, and the longer the time delays, the more unfavorable the situation will be for them. In this way, we can force the Jurchens to agree to our conditions and give us food.

At that time, the situation may be really unfavorable to the Jurchens, and they must have the conditions, that is, they will work together to kill the Liao army and force the Liao army to give up the attack.

OK, this condition is exactly what we need, but if we want to fight, we will hit Yelu Ma Ge. As long as we defeat the main force of the Liao army on Shangjing Road, we can spend the winter comfortably.
