A horse gallops like the wind.

It was the middle of winter, the cold wind was mixed with the cold rain, the drizzle was mixed with the flying snow, and the horses' hooves stepped on, trampling countless mud and snow water. The horses were steaming all over their bodies and galloped wildly.

The war horse rushed out of the long canyon of the sky and rushed into a large camp on the plain outside the mouth of the valley, until it was under the banner of the Chinese army. Immediately, the knight reined in his horse and said in a loud voice: "Report, military emergency!" ”

Under the black flying eagle military flag, in the Chinese military tent, Li Jing, the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the king of Qin, opened the curtain and came out, followed by several generals, one of whom asked in a loud voice: "What is the military situation?" ”

The knight quickly jumped off his horse, saluted Li Jing, and said, "Report to King Qin, it's good news." ”

Kuaima brought back the news that the military intelligence agency spies had returned that Li Keyong had withdrawn from Yixian County to the Flying Fox via Puyin, with 30,000 light horsemen from Chengde and Yanmen Second Town. After entering Feihu County, Ulzhou, he appointed Li Siyuan, a general of the Hengchong, as the commander of the Horse Infantry Army inside and outside the Han Dynasty, leading 20,000 cavalry to rush back to Yanmen in Daizhou through the Lingqiu Ancient Road. Li Keyong led 10,000 cavalry, as they expected in advance, from the Flying Fox to Zhigu Pass via Lingqiu.

Li Jing beckoned the knight to enter the account and personally poured him a glass of water.

"How long will it take for Li Ke to get to Naogu Pass?"

"At present, the weather is windy and snowy, and the road is difficult to travel, Li Keyong is taking the main road of the Flying Fox on the Lingqiu Ancient Road, and he must first go west from Flying Fox City to Lingqiu City, and then go northeast to Zhigu Pass. Although his men are cavalry, the weather and road conditions will take a day and a half at the earliest, and two days at the latest. Even if he rushed to Zhigu Pass, he would be tired of the soldiers and horses, and he would not recover for a day and a half. It is also difficult to immediately go into battle. ”

Li Jing habitually pinched his mandibular short mustache. Although he is not yet thirty years old. But his current identity, with this short mustache like a steel needle, has made him more powerful and mature. After thinking for a moment, he turned his head to look at his intelligence director, Gongsun Lan, "How is the movement over there in Datong No. 3?" ”

Although Li Jing divided his secret service agency meticulously, he established eight sub-bureaus, each of which undertook different tasks and supervised and balanced each other. Gongsun Lan, the supervisor, is more responsible for the summary and coordination work. But having this meticulous intelligence consultant by his side really saved Li Jing a lot of work and brought a lot of convenience.

This time Li Jing sent troops to Yanmen Town, there are indeed not many soldiers who can really fight, the Qin army must not only maintain the defense of Jianghuai Shandong, but also guard against Gao Yu and Henan Qi army, at the same time, Li Jing also left heavy troops in Hejian and Youzhou to defend Chengde and Weibo. On the other hand, in the rear of the northeast, it also had to maintain a force. In addition, there is a troop of soldiers and horses in the grassland.

The greater the strength of the Qin army, the bigger the stall. Although Li Jing has expanded his army several times, he often feels that his military strength is tight. This opportunity was in front of him, and Li Jing had to go into battle in person, leading tens of thousands of people to attack Yanmen.

However, Li Jing also knew that he had few soldiers, and it was okay to rely on this number of men and horses to give Li Ke a heavy blow, but it was impossible to solve Li Ke's support with one blow. Therefore, before sending troops, Li Jing had already secretly sent people to the Datong army after careful consideration, and invited the three departments of Datong to send troops together, Li Jing hoped that after he attacked Ulzhou, the three departments of Datong would directly send troops to Yanmen.

"The Yanmen secret agent sent back the news that the three departments of Datong have exhausted three troops and horses, and they are going south, with a total of 60,000 horses, and they are forcing Yanmen to pass. At present, in the middle of Yanmen Pass, Li Ke is staying behind with his righteous son Li Cunjin, with only 5,000 Shatuo soldiers and 10,000 Han troops in his hands. Gongsun Lan replied, and after a pause, she looked at Li Jing and said softly: "Your Highness thinks that the Datong Army can be trusted?" ”

Li Jing smiled slightly and looked at Gongsun Lan, "What do you mean?" ”

"Although the three departments of Datong have 60,000 soldiers and horses, they may not be able to capture Yanmen Pass. And even if they can capture Yanmen, will it necessarily be a good thing for us? The three departments of Datong were once attached to Shatuo, but they didn't betray them after the last? All three are of the Hu tribe and are by no means credible people. If the three tribes capture Yanmen Town, I am afraid that we will defeat Shatuo, but the three divisions will be the next Shatuo, and even their strength will exceed that of the Shatuo people. This result is not good for us? ”

"If it is not of my race, its heart will be different!" Li Jing smiled, "That's what you want to say, right?" He chuckled, "This statement is indeed true, if we are strong, the alien race may submit to it, but this loyalty is not reliable, but difficult to control." However, this does not mean that we should be completely hostile to these aliens. At some point, as long as we are in control of the situation, we can use them within the limits of control, with their strength. At the very least, we can still raze it! ”

"You're right, the Shatuo clan is a precedent, and these Hu people can't really believe it. Whether it is the three divisions of Datong or Shatuo, these people are just respecting the strong, and they will not be truly loyal to anyone. We are now at war with Shatuo, but we can use the three divisions of Datong, we will give the existing interests of the Shatuo people to the three divisions of Datong, let them go to the Shatuo people dog-eat-dog, and we, we don't need to fight with them, just wave the bones in our hands, we can see them tearing each other, and when they are both defeated, we can control the whole situation better. ”

From the beginning, in fact, Li Jing did not think that the dispatch of troops by the Datong Third Department could solve Yanmen Town, but Li Jing still carried out this plan. Because Li Jing didn't really plan to let the Datong Third Department replace Shatuo and control Yanmen Town. His real intention was to let the three Datong divisions fill the strength that the Qin army lacked now, and as a thug of the Qin army, he would beat Li Keyong, which would not only weaken the strength of the Jin army, but also weaken the strength of the three divisions of Datong.

In Li Jing's eyes, when the Qin army seized the four states in front of the mountain and entered the river, the three Datong tribes and the Yanmen Shatuo people were actually the same, and they all became the enemy force of the Qin army!

"Let them fight, no matter who wins or loses! Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, just watch the fire from the other side! Li Jing said indifferently.

The three divisions of Datong fought with the Shatuo people, and the two major forces of Daibei attacked each other, and the one who benefited the most was naturally the Qin army that has now entered Daibei.

"Let's return our eyes to Li Keyong and Liu, they are our target. Tell me, where is Wang Jingchong, Li Keyong's backup, leading the follow-up infantry now? "Yanmen is not Li Jing's goal, but it doesn't mean that Li Jing doesn't want to defeat Li Keyong.

"Wang Jingchong is leading 30,000 infantry to the Flying Fox in Ulzhou, and he is still in Yizhou, and he can reach the Flying Fox in two days at the earliest, and three days at the latest. In addition, I have just received the latest information, Li Keyong is already in a hurry, he has sent an envoy to reach a new alliance with Wang Jingchong, Li Keyong ceded Yizhou to Chengde Town, in exchange for Wang Jingchong to send 50,000 additional reinforcements to Yanmen Town in the future! ”

Li Jing sneered, "Li Keyong is very cunning, he knows that after this battle, Sha Tuo will inevitably lose his strength, and it will be difficult to defend the Xin Dynasty, not to mention Yizhou east of Taihang?" He is now a strong man with a broken wrist, and he is very decisive. It not only avoided making Yizhou a bleeding wound for the Shatuo people in the future, but also consumed their strength. At the same time, he could immediately withdraw all the soldiers and horses back to Yanmen, and then exchange this piece of chicken ribs with Chengde Town, not only in exchange for the second batch of 50,000 reinforcements in Chengde Town, but also sell it to Wang Jingchong for a favor. Oh my God, it is estimated that Wang Jingchong was very happy to hear the news at this time, thinking that he finally swallowed Yiding in one bite and monopolized Yiwu Town, which was a big victory. Little did he know that sooner or later he would regret his decision today. ”

"King, Li Keyong and Wang Jingchong led the troops back to help, and Wang Jingchong will also reinforce the follow-up army, our troops are not sufficient, do we still have to implement the original plan?" Wang Pu, the secretary of the military department, said with some concern. After conquering Sizhou, Li Jing left soldiers and horses to garrison in the military capital and Sizhou, at this time there were not many soldiers and horses stationed in front of Bears Ears Mountain, only 30,000 horses, facing the vast mountains, even if there were elite cavalry, they could not play the role of cavalry clusters.

Li Jing smiled.

Wang Pu has a beard, and he is in the prime of life, and his curly beard is as black as paint, which adds a few points of killing aura to his whole person. However, since he led the town of Duli to join Li Jing, this momentum has been much gentler. And now that Li Jing is married to the Yu family, Wang Pu, who was deeply hit, has become a little aggrieved. The momentum of killing decisiveness on his body has become less and less.

Li Jing knew that the marriage between Lu Dao and the Yu family was a big blow to this father-in-law, but there was no possibility of changing that matter. He had a happy cooperation with Wang Pu, and if he was affected by this matter, Li Jing would not mind changing his position.

"Wei Hou, sometimes, a good strategy is often stronger than the result of the clever command of the front-line generals. And if we have both a good strategic arrangement and a good tactical command, then even if we have a small number of enemies, we will still have a huge advantage. The current situation, according to the original plan, we can still control the overall situation, drive the whole situation, mobilize the enemy army, and the final victory is still ours. ”

"Please come to the Shangshu Province, the Cabinet, the General Staff, and the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies who are with the army, and we will discuss the entire plan after the end to ensure that nothing goes wrong!" Li Jing said to Zhang Tieqiang, a close attendant.

There were only 30,000 horses in hand, but there was a fortress pass opposite, and there were 20,000 soldiers and 20,000 auxiliaries in the pass. And there is Shatuo King Li Ke with 10,000 light cavalry starry night to come, followed by Chengde Town Wang Jingdi led 30,000 infantry reinforcements, and this is not all the enemy reinforcements, Yizhou's 20,000 Yanmen army will also come back, it won't be long, if the war is stalemate, then the Chengde army will mobilize 50,000 soldiers and horses to come.

The more time passes, the more unfavorable the whole situation will be for the Qin army.

In the face of Li Keyong's desperate support, Li Jing has a comprehensive plan. (To be continued......)
