Dark clouds are surging in the sky, like ink poured into the water, and large clouds are surging in the wind. Between the dark clouds, the halo of the sun hides behind, but it is still dazzling... it lurks, but it still can't hide the edge of the edge.
The drizzle sprinkled in the puddles on the road, making the water surface look like rough ground glass. "Pop!" Heavy boots trampled on them, muddy mud water splashing all over.
On the road, walking, riding, and car are moving slowly. People are walking heavy in the mud, but they still maintain order.
As the soldiers walked, they looked back at the city of Youzhou standing in the depths of the rain curtain. It is still not far away, but it seems to be on the horizon, like a mirage, and like the shadow of a mountain.
Decades ago, when losing this piece of land, few people might have thought that it would be so difficult to get it back again.
At this moment, a large group of people came stumblingly from the fork, carrying baskets, carrying burdens, and trekking in the mud. The women took out the eggs from the basket and stuffed them into the arms of the soldiers on the side of the road.
An old man cast his gaze, leaning back and looking at the soldiers, and asked: "When will the children come back...return?"
The soldiers had nothing to say and followed the team silently. The old man sighed several times.
At this moment, Dong Zunzuo's people passed by, and the young Dong Zunzuo jumped off the horse and said with a cold face: "This is not the end, it's just the beginning!"
The thin rainwater gathered on the helmet into beads, and the water drops dripped down Dong Zunzuo's young face.
……
At the head of Youzhou City, Xiao Siwen with a tired face looked at the messy fortification camp outside the city in the drizzle and let out a long sigh. He raised his hand, but there was nowhere to help. This section of the wall was bare, and the female wall had already collapsed.
"Zhou Jun really retreated so soon...Should we send a team of horses out to chase?" Xiao A asked without a word.
Xiao Siwen turned his head and glanced at him: "Chasing? How to chase? Youzhou army cavalry, can they be compared with the Daliao palace tent elite? What are the palace tent troops being beaten, and the Youzhou army is afraid to go out Make a joke."
Xiao Abu frowned and said: "This week Chinese people are also very good at scaring people, so many people come over and surround Youzhou City with water, and finally think that it will take a year and a half. This will be much longer. Time, just go..."
Xiao Siwen said: "You don't forget that Jinyang City will be broken in half a month! Tiesmith Guo came to capture Youzhou City. He can't break it now, and doesn't want to fight with the main force of Daliao, so he retreated. Tiesmith Guo This person..."
He took a "hiss" breath, "This person is a bit interesting, quite elusive."
Seeing that Xiao Abu was at a loss, he slowly sighed: "A man who claims to be an emperor has won all battles in the past. It is not easy to retreat decisively. You may not understand people in that position."
A military commander said: "Brother Yeluxiu, when he comes back to Youzhou, he looks like a lifesaver."
Abudi was a little annoyed after hearing this: "If we don't defend Youzhou City, we can win Zhou Guoren? Can't let him take the credit alone!"
"It's too early to say win," Xiao Siwen said softly.
Abudi asked: "The people of Zhou are afraid of Daliao and ran away, do they have the face to come again?"
Xiao Siwen turned to leave the city, and took another look at the vast wilderness in the south, and said: "It will definitely come...Send the order to celebrate in the city and tell the soldiers that Tiesmith Guo is not a monster with three heads and six arms, and can also be defeated by the Great Liao Iron Cavalry. "
In the evening, a visitor with a gray and black cloth covering his head came to Siwen Xiao’s study.
There was an oil lamp with a big bean grain in the study, and the man asked in a low voice in Khitan: "My master asked the King of the South Court, what do you think about this opportunity?"
Xiao Siwen frowned and said: "I mean, for the time being, I can't rush for success, but focus on the overall situation."
"Oh..." the man responded softly.
Xiao Siwen said: "At this juncture, if there is turbulence in the Liaoning Province, it will allow outsiders to reap the benefits...the public opinion is also unfavorable, and the timing is not yet ripe."
...The young Yeluxiu was not happy at the Liao Army Camp in Tanzhou.
A bonfire was burning under the grass pavilion, and there were tents all around. In the fire, Yeluxiu's angular face didn't even smile. He stretched out his hand and stroked the mane of the horse who was eating beans, his face gloomy and said nothing.
At this moment, a few generals walked over in strides, and bowed their hands on their chests, saying, "Hexi, the handsome man will make a new contribution!" "When I return to Beijing, I will sweat more and rely on the great man."
Someone said: "We can gather all the soldiers and horses again in two days, and take advantage of the defeat of the Zhou army, we can see the chance to increase the gain!"
Brother Yeluxiu was uninterested and nodded to meet the generals.
When Yang Dagon saw this, he turned and whispered to several generals: "I would have a few words to talk to the general."
Everyone retired with interest.
Yang Dagon walked into the grass pavilion, picked up a piece of firewood on the ground and threw it on the bonfire, and slowly said, "The handsome won't be happy?"
Brother Yeluxiu said coldly: "Our forty thousand palace tents are also helpless people on the grassland; the Zhou people are not just farming, and they actually fight with our horses. It looks like this, forty thousand The army still gathers and cannot recover. Can General Yang be happy?"
The Daliao Palace’s tent army is the elite of the elite, and it’s not the same thing as the tribal army and the Five Capital Army, which are incompletely armored and loose. As a well-known star in the Liao country, Yeluxiu knew the combat power of the Liao army very well.
In this battle, he did not expect such a risk.
He believes that the North Road Liao Army and more than 20,000 Cavalry and Tenant Army made a raid (Li Chuyun's Ministry), and the two sides were equal in number, but the Liao Army's horse war could defeat the Zhou Jun (Li Chuyun's Ministry) horse team; Zhou Jun (Luo Yanhuan Department).
The Liao Army on the South Road detoured out of the Wenyu River, harassing and threatening the Zhou Junzhong army, mainly by attacking the Zhou emperor to deter the Zhou army; forcing its Youzhou to shrink defense escorts. Then marched westward and defeated Zhou Jun (Han Tong Department), who had the upper hand and defeated Zhou Jun.
Yelixiu's idea is to defeat the Zhou army mobile horsemen in World War I! Then walk around the vast area outside Youzhou City, harassing Youzhou City Siege at any time.
The number of horses of the Zhou army is not much superior to that of the Liao army’s reinforcement cavalry, and the Liao army has more horses. Yeluxiu is confident to defeat the Zhou army cavalry first.
As he said before: The cavalry of the Southerners is not called a cavalry, just to get into battle and run faster. He had never seen cavalry marching on foot for a long time.
Brother Yeluxiu can see the defenses of the Central Plains, but he has never seen the southern countries in the field.
Yang Dagon said kindly: "Anyway, Zhou Jun retired because the commander led the army to reinforce the army. This is also a victory, and the commander can take credit when he goes back."
Brother Yeluxiu looked at the campfire with a very complicated expression.
The experience of accelerating heartbeat, like running wildly on a blind horse, came to his mind.
For example, in Wenyuhe, there was no progress against (Li Chuyun's department), and the right-wing Zhou Jun quickly approached, desperately fleeing, and would be flanked after one step. The consequences would be disastrous!
For example, after the South Route Army was harassed outside Youzhou City, as soon as it was about to move westward, (Li Chuyun's Ministry) Zhou Jun threatened his back; it was almost possible to be encircled. When marching into the victory gate, because the back road may be attacked at any time, he collapsed and ran in a hurry.
Brother Yeluxiu closed his eyes, raised his head and took a deep breath. He has the illusion of walking on the tip of a knife.
He gritted his teeth and said: "I don't believe that the country that farms can compete with Daliao on horseback. This time I will underestimate the enemy. Next time, I must have a good meeting with Guo Tiesmith!"
Yang Dagon reminded: "Our mission is to protect Youzhou, not to fight hard."
Yelixiu sneered: "Being a military commander is to win in battle! Let's mix those conspiracies and tricks, there is no good fruit."
After hearing this, Yang Dagon said in a complimenting tone: "It's not unreasonable to sweat profusely by relying on a great man."
Brother Yeluxiu ignored him, and thought to himself: "Guo Tiejiang is a born general."
Yang Dagon breathed a sigh of relief: "He is Emperor Zhou."
Brother Yeluxiu shook his head and said: "This person... has a very sensitive sense of smell, not like a southerner, but like a hunter..." His voice became low, thoughtful, "or a hunting beast. Quietly Approaching the prey, there was no movement at all, looking for opportunities, as soon as I found that the limelight was wrong, I turned around and ran away. But it is still there, you don’t know when he will come back again."
Yang Dagon said: "The general may be right. He fought very well, he is indeed a qualified military commander, but this is also going back. Given Zhou's situation, I am afraid that there will be trouble."
Brother Yeluxiu said: "I wish he would not run. What's wrong with him doing that?"
Yang Dagon said: "He shouldn't come at this time."
