Chapter 23 The World Is Not Peaceful, and the War Is Endless (2)
At the time of the surging Khitan turmoil, the forces of all parties played games with each other, and while stepping up the arrangement of their own actions, they also kept an eye on the actions of others all the time, whether they were friends or foes. www.biquge.info After Li Congjing returned from the south of the Khitan, he mobilized Lu Long's army in Furong Town, and the news of the flag to march north soon reached the ears of the bigwigs who were qualified to participate in this game.
Because of the beginning of spring, the grassland is dotted with green, and the sprouted grass is like a newborn baby, indicating a certain hope that has arrived. However, this is not the case for the black car Murowei, who has just emerged in their pastures thousands of miles north and south, and before they have time to receive the baptism of spring rain, they have ushered in the devastating trampling of horses' hooves.
Behind the huge mountain pack like clouds, there was a large tribe of more than 10,000 people, not long ago, here gathered from all directions to rush to the black car Murowei warriors, for a while more than 20,000 people in control of the strings inside and outside the tribe on horseback, can be described as strong horses, extraordinary momentum.
Heichezi Murowei gathered a heavy army here, and his Khan Siwala naturally hoped that this army of soldiers and horses could block the Khitan horses' hooves and win more time for the clansmen, but after the Khitan army arrived, the illusion of strong soldiers and horses brought by the short period of strength and strength of the crowd disappeared immediately.
In just one day, the Khitan army defeated the Heichezi Murowei soldiers who were waiting here, and then, in order to promote military power to Heichezimurowei and fight its will to resist, the Khitan army bloodied the tribe.
Countless felt tents were buried in the fire, countless figures fell in the blood and fire, and thus became the ghosts of the Khitan people, the fire burned everything that could be burned, including the green and yellow grass, after a night of fire, only a piece of scorched earth remained, and the smell of fishy smell that could not be dispersed for a long time.
After dawn, when the sun was shining on the meadows, Jerubi appeared before the tribe on horseback, surrounded by thousands of horses. The armor on his body is inlaid with gold and jade, and the sun shines brightly, making it impossible to look at it directly, and after listening to the report of the general, the already staring eyes are even more unstoppable, "Under the invincible front of my Khitan army, Siwala didn't know how to learn the lessons of the previous battles, and obediently surrendered to me, but he still resisted, I really don't know what to do." After this battle, less than half of the soldiers in the black car room Wei Ke are fighting, and I will smash his king's tent to see what he can do with me! ”
Jerubi was really angry, and he was angry that Sivara didn't know what was going on. He thought to himself, it seems that after a few years, these people have forgotten the fear of being dominated by the Khitan armor warriors, and this battle will definitely break the muscles and bones of the black car Murowei, so that the other tribes of the grassland will realize that when the Khitan army is coming, they should be obediently captured!
In the surrounding compliments, Yelubei's nearly two hundred pounds of body seemed to float to the clouds, he enjoyed this moment very much, there was already a proud villain dancing in his heart, he knew that the compliments of the soldiers were from the heart, he needed such compliments, that is indispensable for him to stabilize the throne and achieve great causes.
While Yelubei was inspecting the results of the battle, several horsemen galloped in from a distance, and Rao found the traces of the other party, but Yelubei did not pay attention, and still leisurely examined the captured black chariot Murowei people, because he knew that his courtiers had someone to greet them.
These people brought the news that Li Congjing had gathered Lu Long's army in Furong Town, and then sent troops north.
After hearing the news, Yelubei sneered from his nostrils, his eyes full of contempt, "Don't worry about him, even if this is not Li Congjing's suspicious strategy, I have already had a countermeasure, if Li Congjing really dares to cross the Great Wall, I will receive the news of the annihilation of Lu Long's entire army in a few days." ”
His eyes moved from the burned tribe to the sky, and Yelubei seemed to see the scene of Lu Longjun throwing away his armor in the clouds, and the scene of Lu Longjun's corpses all over the field at that time must not be worse than the current black car room Wei, "If this is the case, it is really a grand event that is not inferior to the conquest of black car room Wei!" ”
In the eastern border of the Khitan Huanglong Mansion, the preparations for the Yelu Deguang uprising have been completed, and now it is the day when he sends out the army, when the news that Li Congjing led Lu Long's army out of the customs was handed to him, his forward army had already left Huanglong Mansion, and the main army led by him was also leaving the barracks one after another.
After seeing the information that Li Congjing sent troops, Yelu Deguang, who was already preparing to leave, immediately raised his feet to see Shu Luping.
"Li Congjing led the army out of the customs at this time, what is his intention?" Yelu Deguang complained to Shu Luping, "I went to the West Building to regain my throne, and it has nothing to do with him Li Congjing, this time he came to intervene not to mention, but also to lead the army out of the customs, what does he want to do?!" ”
"You have an appointment with Li Congjing first, this time he led the army north, and he went to Yelubei, so he naturally helped you, why are you angry?" Shu Luping didn't seem to understand Yelu Deguang's words.
"Why does the queen mother knowingly ask......" Yelu Deguang felt aggrieved, but he didn't want to show it too obviously in front of Shu Luping, "Why did Yelu Bei insist on going west this time? Isn't it because when he ascended the throne, Li Congjing's army was outside the Xilou City, so many people disagreed with him, saying that he, the emperor, was sealed by the Tang Dynasty, so he was eager to make meritorious contributions and win people's hearts? This time I went to the West Building, Li Congjing led the army to come, even if I seized the throne, how would others think of me? Don't you also want to say that my throne was canonized by the Tang Dynasty? ”
"You're overthinking." Shu Luping smiled calmly.
Yelu Deguang originally disagreed with Shu Luping's statement, but when he saw that Shu Luping was extremely calm, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately thought carefully about the meaning of Shu Luping's words.
"Let me ask you, Li Congjing went north this time, how many soldiers and horses?" Shu Luping saw that Yelu Deguang had come to his senses, so he asked with a smile.
"It's just Lu Long's army, less than 20,000 when it's full, and most of them are foot soldiers." Jerod's light path.
"Let me ask you again, how many troops did Yelubei arrange in the south in order to deal with the Tang army's northward turmoil at this time?" Shu Luping asked again.
At this time, Yelu Deguang naturally knew, and he immediately reacted, "The queen mother means ......"
Shu Luping looked at him with a smile, and did not say anything, but asked Yelu Deguang to tell the truth himself, so as to strengthen his faith.
"Lu Longjun went north in a hurry this time, and he couldn't get to the West Building at all, and it was very likely that he would even miss his hooves!" Yelude Guangfang is concerned about chaos, and at this time, the law was broken, his eyes lit up, and he immediately figured out the key to it.
"That's it." Shu Luping nodded slightly, "When the battles of Bohai and Xilou were fought back then, you were forced to leave the country, which is certainly your sore spot, but isn't this the sore spot of the Khitan Kingdom?" How many days has Yelubei been the lord of the Khitan, in order not to repeat the mistakes of your father and emperor in the past, how can he not study Lu Longjun with all his might? There are few invincible generals in the world, and there are few invincible armies, but if they are thoroughly studied and targeted by their opponents, how can they be undefeated? And these years, just gave Yelubei this opportunity, although he is not a Ming Jun, but the Khitan warriors are brave and good at fighting, what did Li Congjing take to the West Building this time? ”
After listening to Shu Luping's words, Yeludeguang's heart knotted suddenly, "I was negligent, thank you for mentioning it." ”
"In that case, why don't you hurry up and go on the expedition?"
"Yes! The queen mother waited for a while, and the good news came back in a few days. ”
"My son's return this time will definitely be a success!"
Unlike Yelubei and Yelude who only relied on their own eyeliners to detect Lu Longjun's movements, Li Siyuan learned that Lu Longjun was out of the customs, but it was Li Congjing who informed him in the letter. Not only that, but Li Congjing also told Li Siyuan in detail about all the plans with Yelu Deguang and Yelu Min.
This time, Li Congjing went north, and he was holding a secret order to transfer troops, otherwise even if he was the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he would not have the right to mobilize the army of the feudal town to fight in other countries without authorization, which is just like when he led the two armies of Baizhan and Lulong to fight in the Bohai Kingdom, and he actually had Li Cunqiao's authorization in his hand.
Li Congjing's northward journey is still a secret to the imperial court, although it will definitely be known to the world in the future, but at the moment Li Siyuan has only told a few Pingzhang. When Chongwen Hall opened Li Congjing's letter, there were only three people in front of Li Siyuan: An Chongyu, Ren Yuan, and Li Qi.
Then the three of them saw His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty looking at the door for a long time, Ren Yuan called a few times in a row and did not see him respond, the three of them looked at each other, and they didn't know what was going on.
After a long time, Li Siyuan finally came back to his senses, saw the three prime ministers all looking at him incomprehensibly, realized his gaffe, and coughed, "Where did you just go?" ”
"Xia Ruqi has been appointed as the envoy of Hedong Jiedu, and now he has arrived in Jinyang, and the excerpt he handed over has been given to ......His Majesty Fang Caichen" An Chongzhi saw that Li Siyuan heard the words and immediately rummaged left and right for Xia Ruqi's excerpts, and he couldn't bear to continue to lose his temper in his heart, he probably guessed who the letter presented by Fang Cai Jing Xinmo came from, so he asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Qin has been going north for many days, I don't know what the situation is?" ”
Li Siyuan's movements in his hand paused, and then he simply stopped, and said a little solemnly after half a sound: "King Qin has led Lu Longjun out of the customs a few days ago. ”
"What?"
"This ......"
The three of them were all shocked, they were all people who stood at the top of the empire, and they naturally knew the situation in Khitan clearly, and it was precisely because they were clear that they could better understand the danger of Li Congjing's trip.
Seeing that everyone was full of shock, worry, and suspicion, Li Congjing's face was slightly gloomy, and he said in an unquestionable tone: "If King Qin goes here, he will definitely succeed in the West Tower, and then raise my Tang Guowei!" ”
At the same time, Li Congrong, the king of Zhao, walked out of the palace city, with a chic posture and a lively walk, but as soon as he entered the carriage, his face was a little stunned, and he finally pulled down the curtain in time and sat down steadily, Li Congrong looked at the person in front of him, and said with a strange face: "What great joy did Mr. encounter today?" ”
Bian Hao, who was sitting in front of Li Congrong, smiled and said, "Why does Your Highness ask like this? ”
"If not, why would the gentleman behave abnormally and come to the palace gate to wait for the lonely king?" Li Congrong looks like he knows you very well.
"If Your Highness must say this, there is indeed a happy event." Bian Ho said slowly.
"What a joy? Come on, let the lonely king have fun. Li Congrong's eyes showed anticipation.
The smile on the corner of Bian Hao's mouth was elegant and calm, like a microwave slowly spreading on the spring lake, "This happy event, I'm afraid that His Highness has already been happy about it, even if I say it again this time, it may not make His Highness even happier." ”
Li Congrong was stunned, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "Mr. is really like a god." Yes, the lonely king did hear the rumor that Brother Wang had gone to the north, but how did the gentleman find out? ”
"The news of Yelu Beixi's expedition is not a secret." Bian Ho said.
"Based on this alone, Mr. expected Brother Wang's whereabouts?" Rao is knowing Bian Hao's ability, and Li Congrong couldn't help but be surprised at this time.
"The Khitan expedition to the west, ignoring the agreement with the Tang Dynasty, how could the imperial court be indifferent? Looking at the movements of the imperial court, there is no substantive response to this matter, which can only show that His Majesty has already taken measures. And the Tang Dynasty, the only one who can handle this matter at this time can only be the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses who was the envoy of Lu Longjie. Byun Ho spoke in a calm tone, revealing that he didn't think it was difficult to have such an analysis.
"Then tell me, what will be the result of Brother Wang's trip north?" When he asked this, Li Congrong leaned forward, looking impatient, so much so that he even forgot to call the word "sir".
"It's hard to say......" Bian Hao shook his head, he didn't want to judge casually, but seeing that Li Congrong's face was full of expectation, he was obviously not satisfied with this answer, and after thinking about it, he continued, "If King Qin is just acting in secret, the result is unpredictable, but if King Qin leads Lu Long's army out of the customs, there is a chance that the horse will miss the front hoof." ”
"Really?" Li Congrong was stunned.
Byun Ho just smiled and didn't speak, he didn't have to answer such a question, because it was a repetitive question, and the wise man never repeated his answer to a question.
Li Congrong fell silent, lowering his head and not knowing what he was thinking.
Bian Ho also stopped talking, closed his eyes and recuperated.
The carriage was wobbly and rhythmic.
Bian Hao said in his heart: "Anyone who plots the enemy, so that their internal strife and internal friction is always the best strategy, you know it well, so you play with Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang in the Khitan, and you have also provoked the relationship between Xu Xiang and Da Cheng and Xu Zhixun for Da Wu, no matter who it is, you have to admit that you are clever in this skill." But there is never a reason why you are only allowed to use it on others, and you are not allowed to use it on you, and you probably never thought that one day, you yourself will have to face such a situation, right? ”
"What is the gentleman thinking?" When Bian Ho was secretly thinking, he suddenly heard Li Congrong's rhetorical question for no reason.
"It's nothing, I'm thinking about how His Royal Highness should deal with King Qin's defeat this time."
"Oh...... Thanks, sir. ”
"Your Highness doesn't have to be polite."
