(Today's Chapter 2)

Tao Yaoyao obviously felt that there was something wrong with this, but she couldn't say what was wrong, so she had to stop talking.

"Yelubei has already set out to fight, will Lu Long's army go north or not?" Mo Li suddenly asked.

"What does Brother Mo think?"

"If you don't move early or late, it's even more unreasonable to move at this time, right?"

Li Congjing smiled inexplicably, "So people who deceive others are deceiving themselves, you can only deceive others if you have deceived yourself first and made yourself believe it." Sometimes when I think back to the lies I told, I thought I had deceived others, but in the end I don't know if others believed it or not, anyway, I believed it myself. ”

"So you think I don't know about you and Ahri, so it really didn't happen, and in the end I didn't believe it, but you believed it yourself?" Tao Yaoyao suddenly interjected again.

Li Congjing couldn't speak, but Mo Li felt something, and sighed: "Over the years, I have been blameless since I thought I had tried my best to do things, and I often used this to be complacent, but now that I think about it, I have deceived myself." ”

Du Qianshu thought for a while, "Qianshu doesn't seem to have such a situation."

Mo Li said contemptuously: "Do you think you really have no intention of Liu Xixi? That's just lying to ourselves, we don't believe it. Saying that, he sighed again, hugging Du Qianshu's shoulder, "Speaking of which, you are the most clumsy realm of deception!" ”

Li Congjing saw that everyone was getting farther and farther away, so he had to cough and pull the topic back, "Lu Longjun"

After Yelubei led his army into the territory of Heichezi Murowei, he received news from the West Building, saying that Li Congjing had left the West Building and returned to the south. Yelubei was not surprised by this, in his opinion, Li Congjing knew that he could not do anything, and he could not continue to stay in the West Building - could it be that Li Congjing really had to wait to welcome him in triumph?

Of course, Yelubei didn't care about this completely, what he cared about was Yelumin's reaction.

After hearing that Yelu Min had left the city to see him off when Li Congjing left, Yelu Bei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, Yelu Min and Li Congjing always have some friendship, Li Congjing returned to the south, Ye Lu Min sent each other is etiquette, and the two are important ministers of the country, even if the Khitan and the Tang Dynasty have turned their faces, the two do not have to break off relations in private - keep some affection, and the country may need it when the country needs it in the future, at least it will be some convenience.

And if Li Congjing returns south and Yelumin doesn't send him off, Yelubei will feel strange, and he will even wonder: At this time, Li Congjing left Yelumin and didn't send it, does it mean that they will see each other again soon, and there is no need to send each other this time? Does that mean that Li Congjing still has some ill-intentioned plans for the Khitan? Does it mean that Jeremiah is going to commit treason?

Some courtiers also suggested that Li Congjing was returning south at this time, did he want to go back to gather troops and go north to invade the grassland?

Yelubei disagreed with this, and he said to these courtiers: "Li Congjing went north this time with the purpose of stopping my expedition to the west, and now his goal has not been achieved, and the expedition to the west has just begun, so he naturally has to make some stubborn resistance. At this time, when he returned to the south, Li Congjing wanted me to suspect him, so that he would be rumored during the western expedition. How could I have been fooled? ”

There were also courtiers who persuaded them, but Yelubei interrupted them and said impatiently: "Even if Li Congjing gathers Lu Long's army to go north, so what? I have already dealt with it, he can't turn the sky! ”

Some upright courtiers reminded him that if Yelu Deguang also raised troops at this time, whether the two of them joined forces or not, it would be a heavy pressure on Xilou.

Yelu Bei said magnificently that Tang Jun and Yelu Deguang's men and horses could not converge at all, he was fully prepared, there was no need to worry too much, and it was only right to take down the territory of Heiche Zi Murowei at the moment.

Unlike Yelubei's victory, when the Khitan soldiers pressed the border, the tribe was in a panic. Although Li Congjing had reminded them earlier that the Khitan might make a large-scale expedition to the west, and Heichezi Murowei had also made some preparations, but after all, there was a huge difference in strength, so they couldn't help but be frightened.

In the past few days, the successive defeats in the eastern part of the territory have been reported in front of him, and the tribal leader of the black Chezimurowe, Sivara, every time he hears the hurried and frightened footsteps of the messenger, his heart will beat rapidly, he is over fifty years old in the grassland, his face is full of wrinkles, his eyes are no longer clear, listening to the anxious discussion of the people in the tent, he feels his head sink a little.

How to deal with the Khitan offensive, this is a big problem that needs to be solved urgently in front of Siwala, earlier he gathered to arrange for the eastern fortification, and was defeated in ten days, this is no longer a question of whether the soldiers are brave, but shows that the comprehensive combat strength of the two armies is not at the same level.

The Khitans were wolves, and they were treated like sheep, and Sivara felt a little overwhelmed.

"Respected Khan, please ask Datang for help, only Datang's army can save us" Someone knelt down and begged for his life.

"The Tang Dynasty is too far away, I'm afraid that by the time they arrive, we will have already been eaten by the Khitans to the bones" Before Sivara could speak, someone raised objections.

"Then we should ask for help from the neighboring tribes, the Khitans are hungry wolves, they are attacking us now, and they will attack other tribes in the future!" Someone shouted.

"Where there are bigger tribes than us, we can't stop the Khitans, where do they dare to come"

"Someone should be sent to the Tatar Ministry."

"Tatar? They're going to covet our ranch."

Anxiety and fear became even more intense in the chaotic discussion, panic is like a plague, if it is not curbed in time at the beginning, it will no longer be able to deal with it when it spreads, and now the people of the Black Chezi Murwei are like people who are helpless in the face of the plague.

Finally, Sivara stood up, his body lying on his back, but at this moment the terrifying aura he exuded was intimidating, "Many years ago, Yelu Abaoji led an army to rob our pastures, cattle, sheep and women, and that time he brought us a great disaster, when there was crimson blood, burning war and weeping children everywhere, and our troops were almost destroyed. Today, although Abaoji is dead, but his son is here, and he is here with the Khitan army, can my tribe experience the previous disaster again? The warriors of our tribe also have war horses and bows and arrows, can't they protect their pastures and children? ”

Under the call and organization of Siwala, the black car Murowei Wang tent began to dispatch troops, as long as the grassland people have bows and horses, everyone is a soldier, and the mobilization momentum of this war is very huge.

But no matter how great the momentum is, it is just a fight to the death, and the gathering of the warriors of the black car room is particularly tragic from the beginning.

At the same time, Li Congjing has returned to Lulong. However, he did not go to Youzhou, but stopped in the town of Furong in Danzhou, which controlled the main road, where Ma Huaiyuan was stationed back then.

The reason why Li Congjing returned to Lulong was essentially because the West Building was about to become a battlefield, and at this time he couldn't stay alone in the enemy camp, although Yelu Bei and Yelu Deguang didn't dare to do anything to him, but after all, there were no eyes in the chaos

Well, in fact he came back to command the war.

Inside and outside Furong Town, a large number of soldiers and horses have gathered.

"Staying in Furong Town is not as good as staying in the West Building, that is, the battle situation of the black car room Wei cannot be known in time." In the military tent, looking at the battle report in his hand, Li Congjing said with regret.

"What is the situation of the battle in the black car room, you can know it without a battle report." Mo Li said without raising his head while deducing the battle situation on the sand table, he has done this many times, but he is still happy to do it, probably because of the repentance and self-reflection on the wall of the West Building the day before yesterday, he is very diligent now.

"If you don't notify the black car room Wei Qi Dan in advance, it will arouse Yelubei's suspicions, and I notified the black car room Wei in advance, and I am afraid that they will be too well prepared, so that Yelu Bei will not be able to achieve the results as scheduled, and he will not be able to get into the battle situation of the black car room Wei in the later stage." Du Qianshu shook his head, "Fortunately, the development of the war is as expected by the military division, and Heiche Zimurwei is really not an opponent of the Khitan - at least for now." ”

Mo Li still didn't look up, "The reason why the Khitan is strong is because Abaoji imitates my Tang Dynasty, builds cities, gathers people and material resources, improves the military and political system, etc., and Heichezi Murowei is still a tribal system, plus they are already poor in people and things, where will they be the enemies of the Khitan?" ”

"As long as the war on the Western Front is generally not bad, it will not have much impact on the overall situation, and the key at the moment is the battle of the West Building on the Eastern Front." Li Congjing walked to the sand table, and said while watching Mo Li deduce the battle situation: "The reason why Yelubei dares to go west is because he is sure that the defense line of Xilou and Raozhou is enough to eat Yelu Deguang, and the defense line outside the Great Wall is enough to eat Lu Longjun. Speaking of this, he smiled, "The reason why we dare to seek the Khitan country is also because we are sure that we can break the defense line of Xilou and Raozhou, and we are even more sure that we can break through the trap set by Yelubei for Lu Longjun outside the Great Wall!" ”

"In our own opinion, there is no problem with the plans of both sides, we have calculated that Yelubei will inevitably march westward, and Yelubei has also calculated that the Tang Forbidden Army will not go north, so when the forces of both sides are clearly understood by each other, how to use their own strength to defeat the other party's strength has become the key to this contest." Mo Li took over the conversation, "From this point of view, the war is still fair. ”

"Yelubei is the Khitan Emperor and has the power of a country, so he dares to play a big game of chess and lay out in many ways, I will be worse, only Lu Long's army, Yelu Deguang is about the same, at best he can only be regarded as a spoiler." Li Congjing's smile was not without ridicule.

"Those who follow the trend win the world, and the world is broken by those who go against the trend, success or failure has not arrived, and it is immediately unknowable!" Mo Li planted the small flag in his hand on the West Tower, straightened up, and looked at the overall situation on the sand table, "Yelubei has long had different ambitions, and he has long planned to break the agreement of the West Building, he has embarked on the old path of Abaoji from the beginning, he knows that he wants him to go west, so he has not forgotten to pay attention to dealing with Lu Long and Datong from time to time." ”

He thought that he had thoroughly studied Lu Longjun and knew all about Lu Longjun's northward march route and tactics, so he dared to speak out and dig a bone pit for Lu Longjun. But how could he know that since the day he succeeded to the throne as the Khitan Emperor, we have never been at ease with him, and we have never expected the so-called Xilou Agreement to become an iron law, and even said that in our opinion, it is just a piece of waste paper. The bureau he set up for Lu Longjun this time, aren't we already familiar with it? ”
