Liaoxi, Yingzhou Liucheng.

At this time, Yelu Shilu's mansion became the marshal's mansion of the Zhenguo army, and the walls of the wide lobby were still hung with hideous heads such as tigers, wolves, bears and leopards. The top seat is covered with a rare white tiger skin, all of which shows the haste of the previous owner's escape.

Li Jing sat on the white tiger chair, blowing steaming tea, while listening to the report being made by Li Liang, a staff officer of the marching army.

All the generals in the lobby gathered, all of them with ruddy faces and colorless joy.

Not long ago, everyone was still worried about the indecision of the war, but after the king of the county went around from Xijing, the whole situation immediately changed, and the Zhenguo army broke the Khitan in less than half a month and seized the entire territory of western Liao.

To this day, many officers still have a feeling of being in the clouds.

"In this battle, the king of the county first sent several troops and horses on the east and west, and successfully attracted as many as 20,000 Khitan soldiers and 50,000 families, a total of 70,000 troops. 70,000 soldiers and horses were attracted to Dushan, White Wolf Mountain, Huaiyuan, Yanjun and other places, paralyzing the vigilance of the Khitan people. Especially in the period after the New Year, the sea froze, which made the Khitan people relax their vigilance even more. The prince of the county led his elite soldiers around to Xi Realm, and then suddenly inserted into the White Wolf Mountain between Dushan and Liucheng in Yingzhou. First annihilate the Khitan soldiers of White Wolf Mountain, cut off the communication between Liucheng and Dushan, and then gather troops to annihilate the defenders of Dushan. ”

"By the time the Khitans found out, our army had already directly killed the city of Liucheng, and the Zhao army lord and Zeng army lord who were camping in the east also launched an offensive at the right time. Hold back the Khitan soldiers and horses to the east. Wait until we break through Liucheng. The Khitans also failed to assemble. From start to finish. We broke each one, with the same strength, but with the same strength, well, I see, the specific casualties of our army in this battle were 1,370 killed and more than 2,000 wounded, and the most annihilated Khitan and Xi soldiers were more than 8,500. Annihilated more than 20,000 family members. and took prisoners of five thousand soldiers, and fifteen thousand of their families. 47,000 people were annihilated and captured. The Khitans who fled after the last were less than 25,000, of which less than 8,000 were soldiers. Ladies and gentlemen, in this battle, we won a complete victory, at the cost of more than 3,000 casualties, annihilated 30,000 enemies, captured 20,000, and recovered the entire territory of Yingzhou. ”

Li Liang said that he was excited, and couldn't help waving his arms again and again. The complexion is flushed.

There was a continuous applause in the hall, which lasted for a long time.

"Liucheng, White Wolf City, Ruluo City, Wulu City, Liaoxi City, Yancheng, Huaiyuan City, and Linhaidun City in western Liaoning. All eight cities were recovered. The Khitans were repulsed, and we not only captured 20,000 Khitan captives, but also had good news that there were still more than 10,000 households in western Liaoning, including Khitan, Xi, Turkic, Tatar, Silla, Tatar, Goguryeo, Uighur, and Han Chinese, with a population of 68,000. ”

"In addition, after seizing Liaoxi, we also captured more than 30,000 war horses, more than 50,000 cattle, more than 10,000 horses, and more than 200,000 sheep. In addition, there are more than 100,000 stone grains and grasses. More than 300,000 yuan! ”

Li Jing interrupted Li Liang's report and interjected: "These seizures, except for war horses, a large part of the others should be from those people who settled in western Liaoning. We have to be cautious when dealing with this. I had a preliminary idea of moving all the Xi, Goguryeo, and Khitan populations in western Liaoning to Ziqing Town, and to move the Turks and Uighurs to the Pyongyang area of Qingzhou. In addition, the Tatars and Tatars moved to Jinzhou, Jizhou, and Xiuzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula. Then they moved the newly recruited people from the Central Plains to Liaoxi. We can register the property that belonged to these people, and when we move them to the new land, we can pull out their houses, cattle and horses, land, tools, and other equal property according to the records in the book. ”

Although most of the people living in western Liaoning are foreigners, Li Jing does not intend to be so xenophobic to foreigners all the time. Assimilation and assimilation are equally important. Especially now that Li Jing's territory is getting bigger, the treatment of these Hu people is just as important.

For these foreigners, it is necessary to guard against them and attract them at the same time. Moving them from western Liaoning to Ziqing and other places, Li Jing believed that as long as they were well managed, these people could also become a force to help the Zhenguo army grow.

"There is no problem, the General Staff can draw up a relocation strategy." Li Liang did not object to this proposal, the population of Liaoxi is not large, and the current number of prisoners is less than 100,000. As long as half of them were moved, and then 100,000 people were moved from the Central Plains, the Hu people would become a minority in western Liaoning.

"Zijun, how is the situation of Khitan and Goguryeo now?" Li Jing looked at Li Wei.

Li Wei got up, took the bamboo whip from Li Liang's hand, cleared his throat, and stood in front of the large map of the northeast region hanging and pointed.

"Yelu Shilu, the Khitan general of Liaoxi, and Yelu Yanmu, the Khitan general of Dushan, have been confirmed to be alive at present. The two took the defeated soldiers of western Liao, a total of about 8,000 soldiers, and about 17,000 families, along the west bank of the Liaohe River all the way to the north, and then retreated along the West Liaoshui to Huangshui, and returned to the Khitan grassland. ”

"In addition, we have just received news that 10,000 Tatar cavalry led by Hebul and Kutu were defeated at the confluence of the Tuhe River and Huangshui by Yelu Guzhi, the fourth brother of Yelu Yun Deshi, and the uncle of Yelu Pugu of today's Khitan Yili Jian. The 10,000 cavalry of Hebule and Kutu were almost wiped out, and only more than 1,000 horsemen fled south along the Tuhe River. ”

Hebul and Kutu were in a good situation when they first entered the Khitan, and by surprise, they attacked several Khitan tribes one after another, and broke seven or eight small Khitan tribes. The two of them won consecutive battles, and they became a little careless. As a result, when Yelugu came with 5,000 elite Khitan cavalry when he heard the news, they themselves were defenseless. As a result, under the First World War, he was defeated by the Khitan, and the Tatar soldiers were almost wiped out, and they fled all the way south.

"The son of King Xi Tu Dong Su went to Zhu to lead 10,000 cavalry of the Xi Department to receive the order of the king of the county, just marched into the Tuhe area, rescued the two Hebule, and counterattacked Yelu Guzhi and annihilated more than 1,000 Khitan cavalry. Yeluguzhi was defeated and led his army back to Huangshui. Hebul and Kutu, now stay in the tent of King Xi with all of them. ”

"In addition, after obtaining the equipment of our support, Hind Khan won a few small battles at first, but now he has lost consecutive battles. There is already a lack of support. ”

Li Jing heard this. I couldn't help but shake my head and sigh. Although this Khan is determined, when it comes to fighting, it is really not very good. With excellent armament, it is still impossible to win. Now that the Khitans have withdrawn from Liaoxi, it is estimated that the Khan of Hinde will be even more unable to hold on.

After thinking about it, Li Jing felt that he still couldn't give up the Traced Khan now, no matter what, his name was still very helpful to Li Jing.

"Send a message to the Khan of Hind. If he could not support him, let him retreat to the tent of the king of Xi, where he would join the Xi army and the Tatar army. We now occupy western Liaoning, and we are only separated from the Xijing by the Qilaotu Mountain Range, so let them lean towards us to avoid worries about their backs. ”

Li Cunxiao couldn't help but ask: "King of the county, our army is newly victorious, and now with the help of Xi, Tatar and Khitan Khan, why not take this opportunity to kill the Khitan in one fell swoop and directly destroy Diera?" ”

This battle of Liaoxi. Li Jing led the army to a detour of thousands of miles, and the nine disciples who accompanied the army all performed very well. Especially in the battle between White Wolf Mountain and Dushan Mountain. Both times, Li Jing handed over his handsome flag to Li Cunxiao, and he led the whole army to charge bravely with the handsome flag. After the war, Li Jing also praised him greatly.

However, Li Cunxiao is brave, but when it comes to things at the strategic and tactical level, his acumen is seriously insufficient.

Li Jing looked at Liu Xun and said with a chuckle, "What do you think?" ”

"The last general thinks that this is not a good time to attack the Khitan." Liu Xun got up and replied in a deep voice.

"Oh, why?"

Liu Xun pondered for a moment and organized his thoughts. Now that he is the leader of an army, he is becoming more and more mature.

"First, our army has newly captured Yingzhou, and now Yingzhou has not been decided, so it is really not appropriate to use troops again. Second, although the Khitan was newly defeated, its strength was especially there, and it dared to go deep into the Khitan, and the Khitans only needed to flee far away to avoid the battle, and it would be difficult for our army to make contributions. Third, I think our main goal in the next stage should be to destroy Goguryeo first. Fourth, my subordinates thought that the current Khitan civil strife, plus Xi and Tatar had just been attached to me and were fighting with the Khitan. For the time being, we just need to sit and watch, which is the best way to deal with it. ”

Li Jing nodded, becoming more and more satisfied with the performance of this big apprentice.

Although the Khitan are now beginning to make the transition to settlement, they are still nomadic after all. At present, the Zhenguo army has newly acquired Liaoxi, and its foundation is not stable, so it is not rational to start a large-scale use of troops at this time and go deep into the grassland to fight. The most troublesome point of the war between the Central Plains and the grassland is that when the Central Plains people attack the grassland, once the grassland people see that the situation is unfavorable, they will flee far away, and play the trick of the enemy advancing and retreating with you.

Li Jing has just been defeated in western Liaoning, and Fan Xinglong of Youzhou has previously sent troops to attack Pingzhou. Under such circumstances, it would be very unwise to use the Khitan again.

To deal with the Khitan, at this stage, it should also be to use razing to defeat the Khitan, and mobilize Xi, Tatar and Hinde Khan to deal with the Khitan together. The Zhenguo Army can contribute money and even ordnance, but it must not be mixed too deeply.

If you want to run the northeast, Li Jing's strategy is to be steady and steady, gradually advancing, and controlling one place when you lay down. No longer makes it possible to repeat.

"Qilang, how is the construction of the Liaoning West Corridor?" Li Jing turned to ask Li Rang.

"Our army used 100,000 soldiers and civilians to build the coastal passage of the West Liaoning Corridor from last winter. According to the route proposed by Dashuai earlier, the western Liaoning corridor will be built from Shanhaiguan to Anshi, a total of 650 miles. The whole project is very large, according to the plan, it requires a lot of manpower and material resources, if the manpower and materials can be sufficient, it will take at least a year to get through. Li Rang replied truthfully.

A year is a long time, but Li Jing also knows that a road of 650 miles is not so easy to repair. In particular, this road will be built for the first time, and there is no foundation.

"How many materials and manpower are needed, you can make a plan and report it, and I will try my best to meet you." Li Jing knocked on the table and said seriously. Although there is no end road to take the White Wolf Water Valley Road to Liao, although this road is an old road, it is not fast, and it is all in the mountains. Li Jing needed a faster, smoother road.

The Liaoning West Corridor will be faster and safer than the Endless Road.

After the road is repaired, it will be connected to the entire Liaodong Peninsula from the coast of Pingzhou to Anshi, and can be connected to the domestic city, Pyongyang city and other places farther to the east.

With these roads, the Zhenguo Army can better control the land of Liaodong and Liaoxi, and the Liaoxi Corridor is crucial! (To be continued......)
