The first year of Da Xu Shixing and the 14th year of the Liao Ying calendar (the Yelvxian New Year number will be used early next year), it has reached the end of the winter moon, which is the time of the twelfth lunar month. But when Xu Jun arrives in the northwest, it may be the end of the year or early next year.
Liao State General Yang Dagon first arrived in Xiazhou and immediately entered the palace to meet with Li Yiyin.
Neither can speak each other's language, but they both speak Chinese slowly. So the two sides partnered to deal with Han'er, but they could only communicate in Chinese without an interpreter.
Yelüjing was trusted by Yang Dang before. After Yelvjing died, he took refuge in Xiao Siwen, and Xiao Siwen also accepted him generously. He is a middle-aged man who looks serious and prudent, with a rounder face than most Zhongyuan people. Yang Dagon's face is a bit narrow and long, and his nose is high. Wearing a warm hat with animal skins and furry ear protectors, he walked into the palace and bowed to Li Yiyin.
Li Yiyin immediately said: "This king is the leader of the party and all ethnic groups. May General Yang restrain his subordinates and not disturb the people of Pingxia."
Yang Dagon said: "The public is not worried. As long as the Liao army needs the food, we will guarantee that there will be no offense in the autumn." He changed his tone, and said anxiously, "A few days ago, I will get the Secret Envoy of the North Court, Xiao Gongji. According to the report, it has been found that Xu Jun has used 70,000 to 80,000 troops this time, including 450,000 to the Forbidden Army..."
Li Yiyin immediately showed a skeptical expression on his face after hearing this: "Ping Xia and Daliao joined forces, and Xu Guo made such a big fanfare and thunder. He wanted to destroy the party's posture before using tens of thousands of people to attack?"
Yang Dagon is also a little embarrassed, because the coalition forces currently have more than one hundred thousand, and they are defending locally in the party. It is rare that the attacking party has only about half of the defending force.
Yang Dagon said: "This is the news sent by Duke Xiao personally. There should be nothing wrong with it."
Li Yiyin asked: "Xu's men and horses are still in his country, how did Daliao know the strength of Xu Jun?"
Yang Dagon replied: "Use spies. In the past, Daliao sent scouts to cross the Yellow River to spy on Tokyo. They were often captured by inspections in the Central Plains; or sent envoys, but only a few things were seen. Liao Yousi seized a few spies of Xu Guo in Shangjing. Xiao Gong was shocked. Xu Guoren went deep into the grassland and arrived in Shangjing without knowing it! Once asked, they were disguised as merchants and used the Khitan people to gain profit. Collaborate with the Khitan people to hide their identity.
Xiao Gong drew like this, let the Daliao spies pretend to be a businessman, to benefit Xu people. Sure enough, it was hidden by Xu people as a chicken laying golden eggs.
In Tokyo not long ago, there was a lot of fanfare. Soldiers, horses and school inspectors gathered in the suburbs for half a month. People from Xiaogong's sentinel repeatedly inquired and bribed officials, and finally got the news. "
Li Yiyin is still not convinced.
Yang Dagon was not sure whether the news was prepared, after all, there were too many setbacks. He suggested that Li Yiyin plant a spy on the road in the southeast, and wait for Xu Jun to get near|Ping Xia, and then spy on the spot.
After Yang Dagon said, he suddenly remembered something, he took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Li Yiyin: "The letter written by Xiao Gong to Li Gong is all in the letter."
Li Yiyin picked it up and saw that it was all in Chinese, written in very neat and beautiful lower case. I didn’t want that great minister of the Liao Dynasty, Xiao Siwen, to be so proficient in Chinese... Obviously Xiao Siwen could not write party items, and they couldn’t understand Khitan. Finally, Chinese is the most convenient, even if it is put for a thousand years, it can be recognized as usual.
However, Xiao Siwen’s literary talents are of no use here, because Li Yiyin’s culture is limited, which is really confusing. His look is a bit embarrassing. After all, he is the highest leader of the party, and he is unwilling to show his lack of ink. He said: "Thanks to the handwriting of Duke Xiao, I will take a shower and change clothes, and read carefully."
He wondered in his heart, and looked back for someone to help. For a moment, he inadvertently thought of his daughter Li Yueji. Yueji reads more than him, so she must understand.
Li Yiyin's subtle expression changes were seen by Yang Dagon. Yang Dagon took the initiative to say: "Xiao Bus, the last general, must do his best to fight with the general and will never watch the fire across the bank..."
Li Yiyin nodded thoughtfully.
...Yang Dagon said calmly: "General Li, don’t doubt the sincerity of the Liao army. Xiao Gongyan, and today, the weather will be smooth for many years, like the grass and the rain, it will be the time to stretch and grow; the shaman watched the sky at night, and realized The gods instructed, and the priests also predicted that prosperity will be in the next hundred years. The crops will be harvested, the cattle and sheep will be strong, and the population will prosper..."
Li Yiyin stared at this, wondering if it was possible. What priest foresaw something a hundred years later, he only felt that it was a big flicker, and he didn't believe it at all. What's more, that shaman seems to worship ancestors. That is the ancestor of the Khitan people. It's a matter of the Dangxiang people?
But he didn’t raise any questions, he just kept silent... There are many sects in the Northwest, including Buddhists, Lama Buddhas, Manichaeisms, Zoroastrians, etc. If you have to fight for what others believe in Win or lose, then everyone doesn't need to talk about anything, and we will discuss the true and false of the gods first.
Yang Dagon seems to be a Shamanism believer, and he speaks with gusto, "The prosperity of the population is the foundation of prosperity, and this is the time for the growth of all countries and ethnic groups. Xu Guohan'er has many people, according to the vast and anointed land of Central Plains, and now Ambitious, it will be a threat to all tribes. We should form an alliance and not let Guo Tiejiang and his officials taste the sweetness of expansion..."
When Li Yiyin heard the following words, he nodded frequently. Anyway, the Liao army only needs to help Laozi sincerely!
As for the rest, it's all nonsense! Li Yiyin's hair is already gray and he is several decades old. His rich experience has made his beliefs more and more stubborn. It is obviously not easy for Yang Dagon to persuade him on other concepts.
Yang Dagon again urged: "Xu Jun's firearms are very sharp to attack the city. If you stick to the key, you must be careful. The field is also very brave, but it is also a common battle formation method."
……
By the middle of the twelfth lunar month, Li Yiyin was very impressed with the ability of Liao Simwen, the minister of Liao.
His scouts have already found out the menacing Xu Jun's strength, no more, no more, between 70,000 and 80,000! And this news, Xiao Siwen actually figured it out a month ago!
After all, Daliao is the northern grassland. It is a big country that dominates a large area of land from west to east.
At this time, the weather was so cold that people didn't even want to go out. The news made Li Yiyin clever and energetic.
"There are only more than 70,000 people, divided into two strands, the two strands are separated by dozens of miles..." Li Yiyin was suddenly a little excited.
Only more than 40,000 main players ahead? At first there was news from the Liao people, which he thought was ridiculous, but now his own people have been investigating and observing it, and it just coincides, and Li Yiyin has to believe it.
The Liao Army’s reinforcement infantry alone has 20,000, and the combined strength of the party departments is nearly 100,000! Xu Jun in the Battle of Youzhou relied on a large number of people. Although the Liao Army was defeated in Youzhou, all the tribes still did not dare to deny their iron cavalry power. The reinforcements were equivalent to nearly half of Xu's troops this time...
At this moment, the unspoken words of the next head suddenly became a little annoyed: "Xu people look down on us too much, this is contempt and humiliation to us!"
Li Yiyin didn't understand why this man was angry, "It's not humiliation to fight in battle. How upset are you?"
Yeping replied: "Xu Jun dispatched such a small number of people, I am afraid that he only cares about the reinforcements of the Liao army, and regards our party members as nothing!"
Li Yiyin gave him an angry look, "Anyway, as long as Xu Jun is defeated in this battle, no one will stop the party members from establishing the Great White State."
At this time, he did not hide his words: "Han'er did not despise my clan, but was forced to helpless."
He glanced at the wild speech and said: "Han'er comes from Tokyo and walks the road from the southeast to the north along the Yellow River. To the south of Hengshan, ravines are vertical and horizontal, and the land is barren. The land under Xu's jurisdiction is sparsely populated. Come. The mountain is high and the road is far away, and it is inconvenient to transport.
This is also the reason why the Central Plains court has rewarded forgiveness for many years and wanted to win over us. If you don't want to, you can't do what we do However, there are few people in the party, and it is no good to be an enemy of the Central Plains. "
Li Yiyin listened and said in deep thought: "The words are reasonable. I heard that the Central Plains spent a lot of money in mobilizing troops during the Battle of Youzhou. Maybe the cost is not generous now, so this is the situation."
Li Yiyin also pondered many reasons in order to persuade himself to believe what was in front of him.
The wild speech said coldly: "Since the Central Plains court is weak, yet so tearing its faces, forcibly oppressing and humiliating us?"
Li Yiyin was already very happy and excited, but he felt that he should be calm, so he appeared calmer, "A military move, not this time, after this battle, I am afraid that there will be endless flames in the future."
What he meant was that Xu Jun's offensive and crusade might be just a test. The hardest thing is yet to come, and it may allow Congress to rely on its solid foundation and long-term consumption with the party.
However, Li Yiyin couldn't help but signaled, "Xu Jun is the imperial conquest, the emperor is also in the army..."
Yesi immediately bowed and said: "Please let me play the front line, catch the emperor, and shame for Princess Yueji!"
Li Yi Yin said: "Very good. Even if the emperor is not captured and defeated by the emperor's army, the status of party members will not be the same in the future!"
Li Yiyin immediately called the ministries to discuss countermeasures. It was proved that Xu's army was heading north along the Yellow River. Everyone guessed that they might move along the larger river. One is not easy to get lost, and the other is able to guarantee the army's water source... Then it is from the Yellow River to the indefinite. He first attacked Suizhou and then broke through the Hengshan area.
The northern part of the Pingxia Land is mainly grassland and pasture land, and the Hengshan area is agricultural land. They can get a lot of supplies from the Hengshan area; therefore, they can't give up the Hengshan land and let Xu Guo first stabilize the land.
Suizhou was a center in the southern part of Shandong. If Xu Jun captured this area, it could become a rear camp. Before Suizhou progressed, there was a long distance without any important towns and gathering places. The coalition forces went out of Suizhou to seek opportunities to fight, which was not good for Xu Jun.
The main reason is that the morale of the people and horses is very high at this time, and they are all looking forward to teaching the emperor of the Central Plains, and all are eager to try... After all, there are not many soldiers and horses around the emperor!
