Chapter 527: Hypocrisy
In the big tent, there was silence, only a crackling sound came from the fire pond in the middle, Li Jing sat next to Pu Suwan and Badama, and then on both sides were Boyan and Li Qiao, and then Gao Chong, Xiao Weige and other generals gathered together, and the 70,000 army of the Han Department was in the hands of these people.

"Why don't you speak, the big stone forest is here, Bai Dadan can't resist the other party now, so I came to ask for help, now it depends on what you mean, whether to save or not, you are all generals in command, everyone talk about it." Li Jing glanced at everyone with a smile and said, "At this time, everyone will come to discuss." ”
"Lord, now that the snow covers the grassland, it is very difficult to send troops, Dashi Linya is a rare master of using troops in Daliao, at this time, once our army is stalemate for too long, the army will be trapped on the grassland." Brother Xiao Wei said loudly.
"No, you can't. Everyone knows that Da Shi Linya uses soldiers like a god, but because of this, we must take the opportunity to defeat him, otherwise, once the Bai Da Dan people fail, Da Shi Linya's soldiers and horses will definitely attack us. Li Qiao hurriedly said: "According to the general, the soldiers and horses of Dashi Linya have reached the territory of Wuchuan, and it is only two hundred miles away from the territory of the Bai Dadan people, and it can be reached overnight. ”
"Although what General Li said is reasonable, but now that the snow is covered, how can we march into the army, but the last general heard that when Prince Bai Dadan came to ask for help, there were 100 guards when he set off, and there were only more than 50 people in the Han Department, how can my army bear such a loss. Look outside, the snow is knee-deep, and at this time it is simply impossible for the army to attack. Brother Xiao Wei retorted: "Don't say it's the soldiers, those war horses can't go to Wuchuan to meet the big stone forest teeth." ”
Li Jing nodded, in fact, he also knew that the best way at this time was to defeat Da Shi Linya, lest Da Shi Linya defeat Bai Dadan's people in the future, take the opportunity to become bigger, and at that time, unite the surrounding hostile forces, Li Jing's Han Department may fall into a bitter battle. But what Brother Xiao Wei said also makes sense, it is covered with heavy snow, and at this time, it is not said to be an attack, even if it is advancing, it will become a problem. The army advances, and if something goes wrong in the rear, the tens of thousands of troops fighting in front will be in danger of being annihilated.
"General, the last general also thinks that it is a mistake to support the Bai Dadan people at this time, now our army has not been integrated, hastily marching, this is a defeat, the snow outside is covered, which is not conducive to the battle of the army, this is a second defeat, the third, before the victory is considered defeat, the snow covers, our army's grain and grass will be affected, at that time our army has no way to advance, no way back, it will be defeated, and it will affect the layout of the general on the grassland; Fourth, the enemy around our army is surrounded by the enemy, and they will attack us at any time. These are four defeats, and with these four defeats, the general will think that we cannot send troops. It was Gao Zhong who spoke, and there was a hint of resoluteness on his resolute countenance.
Li Jing nodded, Gao Zhong and Princess Yinping are like glue, and at this time, they can consider this matter from the standpoint of the Northern Army, which makes Li Jing very happy and relieved.
"Boyan, what do you think of you?" Li Jing looked at Boyan who was indifferent and silent, he still trusted this alien man very much, he was loyal to himself, and he was even better at studying, learning everything about the Northern Army.
"Lord, I don't know how long Bai Dadan can hold on, there are certainly many difficulties in sending troops now, but in the same way, at this time, sending troops can definitely catch the other party off guard, and the reputation of Dashi Linya has not been heard of, but since all the generals attach so much importance to this person, presumably this person must have something extraordinary, since it is an outstanding place, we must seriously consider it." Boyan also showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Hulegan, you have been on the steppe for a long time, do you know how to march in such weather?" Li Jing nodded, put Boyan's words in his heart, and looked at Hu Legen again.
"Dear master, it's already December, and the heavy snow on the grassland is the most time, and once it snows, the roads are often flooded, unless it is necessary, the villain thinks that this time should not go to the place where the Bai Dadan people live." Hulegan thought for a moment and said.
"What if I have a way to send people to Bai Dadan's department and let the other party provide war horses?" Li Jing was silent for a while, and suddenly asked.
Everyone was stunned when they heard this, this kind of thing really didn't take into account, the army opposed this matter, in addition to the bad weather, the more important thing is that the war horse can't advance in this situation, if you can let the other party provide the war horse, it may not be impossible to fight, just think about the danger here, and the people who were originally a little happy regained their calm. Calm again appeared in the tent.
"Lord, the last general thinks that there is no internal stability, this time to send troops is a wrong choice, although this Han is the lord, but we are all lord's retainers, a wealth is attributed to the lord's body, if the Han is destroyed, we are all dead and have no place to be buried, subordinates think, this time should let the Bai Dadan people support a winter, I believe that although the big stone forest tooth is powerful, but it will not be done in this midwinter season, wait until the spring of next year, the army will sweep away the Sanghu first, exterminate the Qiyan Department, and then go to Wuchuan is not too late, At that time, the main army will reach more than 100,000 soldiers, and you are afraid that a small big stone will not be able to do it? Brother Xiao Wei couldn't help but persuade.
"This, I and Dehuan are An Answer, An An finally came to ask for help, if I don't go to support, won't I be sorry for him." Li Jing said with an embarrassed face.
"Khan, if you go to the rescue now, not only will you not be able to save the Bai Dadan people, but you will even lose your own inheritance, at that time, you can't save any of them, on the contrary, if you wait until the Khan destroys the Sang Hu, defeats the Qiyan Ministry, and then attacks the Great Stone Linya, you can not only save the Bai Dadan people, but also save yourself. So why not? At this time, Pu Suwan stood up and knelt down on one knee in front of Li Jing.
"Khan (Great General)". The generals in the big tent fell to the ground on one knee one after another and shouted: "Please also ask the Khan (the great general) to take the Han department as the priority." ”
"An'a, An'a, what the generals said is very true, this time is really not suitable to go to Bai Dadan." Li Jing was about to say something, but when he saw the big tent lifted, he broke in and said loudly: "As long as An Da is here, even if my Bai Dadan people are attacked by the big stone forest ya, there is a chance for revenge, but if something goes wrong on An Da's side, not only will it not be able to save the Bai Dadan tribe, but even the Han Department will be unlucky." ”
"Hey, you guys!" After Li Jing heard this, he sighed deeply and said, "Where are you putting Li Jing!" Let me have the face to meet Uncle Mahamu, and what face will I have in the future to meet the people of Bai Dadan, who regard me as a friend. ”
"Anda can have such a heart, and I am grateful. Anda rest assured, I, Bai Dadan, am not easy to mess with, and I will definitely be able to support the arrival of Anda. Seeing that Li Jing's generals were all opposed, Tuhuan was helpless, and he could only pin his hopes on Bai Dadan himself.
Li Jing nodded, let everyone stand up, and then said: "No matter what happens during this time, training is the main thing, and after the snow melts in the spring, Brother Xiao Wei will lead 20,000 troops to attack the Qiyan Department, Li Qiao will lead 10,000 troops to attack the Sanghu Department, and General Ben will personally lead 30,000 people, Boyan will be the vanguard, and Gao Zhong will be the rear army, and go to Wuchuan to support the Bai Dadan people." ”
"The last will obey." Seeing that Li Jing had changed his mind, everyone responded loudly.
Only Li Jing showed a trace of worry on his face, Dashi Linya is definitely not so easy to deal with, otherwise, it is impossible for him to set off from Youzhou when Da Liao is about to perish, and lead the rest of the Khitan to establish Western Liao, it can be said that at the end of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi is the most outstanding talent, such a person quietly appeared in Yunzhou, it will definitely not be as simple as resisting the Bai Dadan people outside Yunzhou, and there are even other means in secret. I don't know why, Li Jing always has a trace of uneasiness in his heart.
But now, in the face of this situation, he can only order his soldiers to strengthen their training and prepare for next year's big battle.
Although Tuhuan has been repeatedly retained by Li Jing, he did not stay here, although he is very safe here, but he is concerned about Bai Dadan's situation, and he braved the heavy wind and snow to return to the front line of Wuchuan, and Ma Hamu and the two resisted the attack of Dashi Linya.
Heavy snow covered, not only is the grassland silent, in Taiyuan City, the weather is cold, people go out a lot less, the general mansion in the middle of Taiyuan Mansion is still busy, Qilin Pavilion and the military aircraft department is summarizing the situation on Hedong Road, deducing everything in the coming year, compared with weekdays, this period of time Hedong Road officialdom is busier than before, everyone knows that the general of Zhengbei has laid a great foundation in Caoyuan, and the main task next year is to seize Yunzhou.
The generals are all thinking about how to become a member of the big war so that they can make military achievements, but the civil officials of the Qilin Pavilion are thinking about this year's harvest and next year's money and food expenditure.
When Li Han returned to his mansion, it was already the beginning of the hour, so he asked the maidservants around him to change out of their official robes, put on their regular clothes, and came to the study by themselves, no matter when, he had to find an opportunity to read a book quietly for a while. It's just that as soon as he sat down, he saw Li Yuanyong walk in with a heavy face, sitting on a chair with a sad face, and a trace of horror appeared in his eyes.
"What, you're causing trouble in the army again?" Li Han dissatisfiedly threw the book in his hand aside.
"It's been a long time since my cousin has heard from him." Li Yuanyong said in a low voice.
"Heavy snow closes the road, it's normal not to write letters, where is it so easy to write on the grassland. He hasn't heard from him in a few days? After Li Han heard this, he immediately said indifferently, and took the book in front of him. He knew what Li Chengsi was doing on the grassland, but he pretended not to know, as if Li Han didn't know where he was going after Li Chengsi left Taiyuan. He didn't even care about the content of Lee Seung-hei and Lee Won-yong's letters, and let things develop.
"It's been a month." Li Yuanyong said in a low voice: "The last letter said that he had arrived at the grassland and was about to enter the grassland. It stands to reason that he should have written a letter a long time ago. Father, you say, will it? The fear in Li Yuanyong's eyes became even stronger.
Li Han's face was also much worse, he stood up, couldn't help but think about it seriously, and said, "What did he say in his last letter?" But there is news about him. Li Han pointed to the north.
"My cousin said that Li, General Li entered the grassland from that road, not to Yunzhou, all the arrangements in Yunzhou had no effect, but made his trip to the grassland more smooth." Li Yuanyong didn't dare to deceive his Lao Tzu, so he hurriedly said.
"There's no need to guess, from now on, there will be no more Li Chengsi in the world." After Li Han heard this, he immediately waved his hand, gritted his teeth and said: "It used to be a legend, but I didn't expect it to be true now." The world underestimated his cruelty and viciousness. ”
"Father, is this, really?" Li Yuanyong was suddenly speechless, although he had guessed before, but now after Li Han confirmed it, Li Yuanyong was even more scared. There is also a part of his own credit in this matter, now that Li Chengsi is dead, should it be up to him next, Li Yuanyong only discovered the strength of the other party at this time, and everything he did was a joke in the eyes of the other party.
"Who is he if not? Those Khitans or steppe people generally have no offense against the business travel, Li Chenghe's side guards, and the general horse bandits do not dare to harass, even if they are harassed, as long as they give some money, they are now dead on the grassland, and nine times out of ten they are the secret guards. Li Han snorted coldly and said: "It is rumored that there is a special assassination team under the dark guard, and the heir must have been killed by the secret guard." Hehe, it's really ruthless, even his own people are killed when they say they want to kill. ”
"Yes, Brother Cheng is his cousin!" Li Yuanyong doesn't know what to do, Li Chengsi always kills when he says kill, and his cousin is probably the same. Thinking of the strength of the dark guard, Li Yuanyong shuddered, and now he had deeply regretted it, he should not have intervened in this matter if he knew it earlier.
"For the sake of his status, there is nothing he can't do, don't say it's a cousin, even his own uncle doesn't kill him." Li Han was furious in his heart at this time, but in addition to the anger, there was still a trace of panic in his heart, and after he vented his anger, he couldn't help but sit on the chair and couldn't speak.
Mo said that he was just a Tuntian envoy, what if he was a person from Qilin Pavilion? It is impossible to influence Li Jing's decision, after all, Li Chengsi and others want Li Jing's life, how could Li Jing spare these people? He looked at his son who was worried on the side, sighed slightly, and said, "You will stay in the mansion during this time and don't go out, after all, you are not involved in this matter, I think as long as you are honest, nothing will happen." ”
"Yes." Li Yuanyong's face was much better, but he asked worriedly: "Father, where is the patriarch?" ”
"Just don't know about it. Or your sixth uncle is smart, the patriarch is the patriarch, and you are yourself. Li Han's face flashed with a trace of distress, and he snorted coldly and said: "On Hedong Road, it is impossible to do other things, Li Jing has always disbelieved in us people, otherwise, I will not be a Tuntian envoy at this time, but lead the army to the expedition." Your uncle is really delusional. ”
