With Li Zhongyi's order, more than 10,000 cattle and sheep captured from Yingzhou were dragged to the edge of the city wall, and the party cavalry went into battle to serve as butchers. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

For a time, under the city of Yingzhou, the wailing of livestock came and went, and it was endless.

Roughly similar to the dietary habits of the Khitan people, the Dangxiang people generally eat live cattle and sheep as their staple food during regular marches. When the military situation was urgent, the party members adopted the method of killing cattle and sheep and marinating them into dried meat to ensure that there was something to eat on the way to the road.

After He Dabei handed over the task to the party cavalry, quite Chao Yongcheng wanted to show his hands in front of Li Zhongyi, so he ordered his subordinates, "Sons, do your job beautifully, and the internal organs of cattle and sheep are also salted with green salt together according to Lingshuai's instructions." ”

The party members outside the city were in full swing to slaughter cattle and sheep, and the officers and soldiers of the Li family in the city were not idle, they continued to force the young and strong Khitan captives with knives and guns, and dug three feet into the ground in the courtyard of the official gentry and the rich family.

After Li Zhongyi returned to the big tent, he had not yet sat down, and the results of his excavations in various parts of the city were reported to him one by one.

A large number of gold, silver, jewelry, copper coins and cloths were loaded and transported away and sent to Yuguan, which was easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Li Zhongyi looked at He Dabei, who had entered the account for the nth time, and said with a smile: "I didn't expect it, right?" There are so many treasures hidden in this land of egg balls, which shows that the Khitan people here must have participated in the southward hunting grass valley many times. ”

He Dabei sighed heavily and said: "Since the founding of the Khitan country, almost every year I have to go south to fight the grass valley, whether it is a strong man, a woman, a wealth of silk, or an iron pot kitchen knife, what to rob. Over the years, it has accumulated over the years, but the national strength of the Khitan people has become more and more prosperous, while our China has been unbearable and declining, which is really a pity. ”

Li Zhongyi nodded, looked at He Dabei with a smile, the two main persons in charge of the Senate Department were both from Lingzhou, the leader was Song Yunxiang, and the second was He Dabei, the left senator.

However, although He Dabei and Song Yunxiang are both from Lingzhou, their personalities are very different, and in addition to normal military affairs, the two rarely have contact in private.

According to Li Zhongyi's understanding, the ancestors of the Song family and the He family had a deep grudge over the interests of the Lingzhou land, and they have been unable to resolve it for several generations.

Regarding He Dabei's statement, Li Zhongyi deeply agreed, the more robbers robbed, the richer they became, and the more greedy they became.

At present, the biggest dilemma in front of Li Zhongyi is not the Khitan people who were strong for a while, but the imperial court that is always dragging their feet, as well as Zhao Laoer and Han Tong who are unclear.

Li Zhongyi entered the Khitan country twice, although he had some gains, but because of his lack of strength, he could not inflict a fundamental fatal blow on the Khitans.

It is the right thing to do outside and to be safe inside!

Finding a suitable time to integrate the national and military strength of the Great Zhou, first unify China, and then expedition north to the Khitan has always been Li Zhongyi's dreaming strategic goal.

"Right Pavilion, don't underestimate the enemy, that Yelu Xiuge is definitely not a wine bag and rice bag. I have studied his previous combat patterns, and they are very much in line with Sun Tzu's military essentials: win with righteousness and match with odds. Li Zhongyi paused, lowered his head and took a sip of tea, leaving He Dabei time to digest and absorb.

Waiting for He Dabei to suddenly raise his face and look at him excitedly, Li Zhongyi continued to explain: "Yelu Huge's troops are mainly cavalry, and most of our army is infantry, so it is normal to monitor and harass us nearby, and drag us to the coast. ”

Li Zhongyi suddenly changed his words, narrowed his eyes, and said: "The question is, Yelu Xiuge is the number one Khitan general, is it possible for him to follow the conventional combat mode?" ”

He Dabei understood in his heart that Li Zhongyi was testing his staff ability, he thought about it for a long time, and suddenly had a realization, and said: "Our army is carrying materials to Yuguan, and the movement is really not small, even if the sentinel has not sent back the warning signal, I am afraid that Brother Yelu Xiu has already mastered the ......"

The son can be taught, Li Zhongyi nodded frequently, after this battle, he can rest assured that He Dabei will be sent to Yang Lie's army, go to the grassroots army to train for a few years, and then return to the Senate Division, it must be a different scene, right?

"Now that you're aware of this, let's quickly convene the Senate and discuss the next step." Li Zhongyi beckoned He Dabei to his side, and whispered in his ear, He Dabei rubbed his hands and said excitedly, "The serial plan is really wonderful!" ”

After He Dabei left in a hurry, Li Zhongyi swept his eyes with a smile, and the Miaoman figure that had been reflected on the back tent.

The war is imminent, and Li Zhongyi doesn't have the heart to deal with it, Li Cuixuan, who is eavesdropping on the tent, has too many military affairs to arrange.

In the middle of the night, the last convoy loaded with seized materials quietly left the east gate of Yingzhou and galloped away in the direction of Yuguan under the protection of the night.

After Li Zhongyi finished processing the last military intelligence report at hand, it was already midnight, he put down the pen in his hand, yawned a lot, and asked, "Is there a supper?" ”

Ye Xiaolan has been staying not far from him, reading a book, and paying attention to her man's movements from time to time.

At this time, hearing the man ask about the supper, Ye Xiaolan immediately stood up, walked quickly to Li Zhongyi's side, and whispered: "There has been stewing minced mutton and white porridge on the stove, and the slave family will bring it for you?" ”

Li Zhongyi didn't squeak, but he kept rubbing his temples, coughing, the sequelae of overuse of the brain.

Seeing this, Ye Xiaolan silently stretched out her little hand, took the initiative to stroke Li Zhongyi's temples, and gently rubbed it repeatedly.

His own woman was so obedient, Li Zhongyi exhaled a long breath of turbidity, simply leaned back, pillowed his head on Ye Xiaolan's towering peak, and enjoyed the woman's intimate service.

In this era when men are in charge of the world, the duty of the women of the Li family is: to serve a good man and raise a healthy baby.

As for the women of the people, Li Zhongyi is very open-minded, and in the future, they should be allowed to work freely.

In fact, the wives of poor families, limited by the financial conditions of their families, many of them show their heads outside the home, doing light manual labor such as washing clothes, working as maids, and working as matchmakers.

After eating supper, Li Zhongyi ordered to come down and ordered Ye Xiaolan and Li Cuixuan, like him, not to take off their shoes and sleep with their clothes together.

Ye Xiaolan didn't have so many eyes and didn't know about military affairs, so she did what Li Zhongyi told her very well.

Li Cuixuan, who continued to nest in a corner of the tent, was keenly aware that there might be a big change tonight?

Li Cuixuan subconsciously aimed at the couch on the ground, only to see that Li Zhongyi was covered with soft armor and lying flat on the couch, not bullying Ye Xiaolan as fiercely as he did last night.

I don't know how long it took, Li Cuixuan, who was sleeping in a daze, was suddenly covered with her mouth, and a low and clear voice immediately entered her ears, "It's time to get up, don't make a move, otherwise military law will be ruthless." (To be continued.) )
