When dawn arrived, Lingqiu City, the seat of Ulju Zhishu, had already been replaced with the banners of the Zhendong Army and Li Jing. Next to these two flags, there is also a slightly smaller general flag, which reads the official position of the general who occupies Lingqiu City at this time.

"The deputy ten generals of the Zhendong Army's Pioneer Silver Spear Battalion rushed to the head of the capital"

The general of Li Xiaocun, who ranked fourth among Li Jing's four disciples, was the commander of Li Xiaocun, and in the last battle of Zhigu Pass, Li Cunxiao bravely crowned the whole army. At that time, the four young generals suddenly came out behind the Naogu Pass around the trail, and the defenders were caught off guard and hurriedly met the battle. Li Xiaocun only braved the rain of arrows to kill the head of the city, and the generals guarding the pass came to fight, but Li Cunxiao captured him as soon as he made a move. After closing the soldiers and horses, he also wanted to snatch back the main general, but Li Cunxiao's iron lance was one by one, and no one could get close.

In that battle, as many as 113 people died under Li Cunxiaohun's iron lance, and more than 10 officers such as the guards of Naoya Pass and the team leader were also captured.

After the battle, the soldiers who participated in this battle were shocked, and they all legends Li Cunxiao's bravery in the army, and some people gave him the nickname Li Hengchong.

After Li Jing heard this, he smiled and simply called Li Cunxiao Li Hengchong, and directly selected 200 elite cavalry to be commanded by Li Cunxiao, and this was given the name Hengchong. Liu Xun, Wang Yanzhang, and Gao Siji were also rewarded, and each directly led an elite cavalry.

After breaking through, the Zhendong Army did not continue to advance rapidly, but temporarily rested. Li Jing just sent the cavalry of Levi's Flying Eagle Battalion to scatter. Go to Ulju to find out the news.

"Why don't you take advantage of the victory. What about killing Lingqiu City before it has time to prepare or escape? Guo Chengan followed behind Li Jing. Let's climb up to the Naoya Pass and look into the distance.

Li Jing smiled slightly, and did not answer directly, but instead turned his head and asked Li Zhen, "Xingxu, do you think we should also attack immediately at this time?" ”

"At this time, you can attack and wipe out all the Zhu evil party members in Lingqiu City." Li Zhen twisted his beard and said, but after a little silence, he said: "However, the county prince captured this pass, but he temporarily rested here, and he thought about it." The meaning of the county prince seems to be to hunt like a pack of wolves, and when he finds that the prey does not rush up directly, but first drives and chases behind, and then waits until the other party is exhausted, then there will naturally be those who are left behind, so that the latter can be easily caught. ”

This explanation only explains the reason why Li Jing did not attack immediately from a tactical point of view, and the real reason is that after Li Jing entered the Jin Dynasty, he did not plan to really fight with the Shatuo people. Although there are few Shatuo soldiers, the strength of the Shatuo people cannot be ignored. Although the Zhendong Army fought successively. But it can't hide the weakness of the Zhendong Army, which is actually too young.

Such weakness has always been due to the weakness of the opponent in the past. Or make up for this weakness because of the excellence of tactical strategy. But this is Daibei, the territory of the Shatuo people. The fierceness of the Shatuo people does not need to be explained, even if Li Keyong's father and son are not in Datong now, these Shatuo soldiers are not so easy to deal with. Fighting hard, although it will definitely be able to defeat them, it will also cause great losses to the Zhendong army.

In the battle of Zhigu Pass, although Li Cunxiao and their 1,000 people won this pass, and Li Cunxiao killed more than 100 people alone. According to the statistics of the battle results, 1,000 enemies were annihilated in this battle, and the Zhendong Army that participated in the battle also lost nearly 500 people.

With a thousand to attack a dangerous pass guarded by a thousand people, the last to capture the city, but also the enemy was completely annihilated, and the casualties were exchanged for one. If in the eyes of others, this is a great victory. But in Li Jing's view, this is a huge battle loss ratio that the Zhendong Army has never encountered. In particular, those Shatuo people only escaped more than ten horsemen after the most reluctance, and the others did not surrender, and they fought to the last one.

Li Jing learned from several wounded soldiers in Shatuo that the one who fled the most was Li Keyong's newly adopted son, Li Siyuan. When he heard the name, Li Jing was surprised. Li Siyuan, one of Li Keyong's thirteen Taibao, in history, he and Li Cunxiao were both Li Keyong's adopted sons, and the two were brothers. Although Li Siyuan is not as brave as Li Cunxiao, he is also a brave and wise general.

In history, Li Siyuan is the real Li Hengchong. When he was very young, he followed Li Keyong to fight in the south and the north, brave and fearless, and able to fight bravely. In previous campaigns, Li Siyuan often led the most elite cavalry, forcibly broke through the enemy formation, the world is said to be "Li Hengchong", with the reputation of courage at that time, he had defeated the famous Liang general Ge Congzhou in Qingshankou, defeated Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji in Youzhou, took the opportunity of the Yellow River to freeze the surprise attack on Yanzhou, and ended the Liang Jin forty years of competition, the most Lu after the invasion of Bianzhou, the destruction of the Liang Liang, is Li Siyuan's troops. It can be said that in the process of founding the country in the post-Tang Dynasty, Li Siyuan made great contributions.

And Li Siyuan is a rare simple, loyal, loyal and upright person. However, under the tide of the five dynasties, even a loyal person like Li Siyuan, the most reluctant had to be forced to become the leader of the rebels under the impetus of the tide of the later times, and had to go down step by step, and Li Cunxuan, who was forced to die, became the Later Tang Mingzong.

After taking the Zhigu Pass, he missed such a big fish, and Li Jing couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Today's Li Siyuan is just Li Keyong's newly acquired son, but Li Jing knows that this person definitely belongs to the level of the Five Tiger Generals in the Jin Army, not to mention, this is still Emperor Mingzong who sat on the dragon chair in the seventh year of the Later Tang Dynasty.

It was in this battle that the fierce and fearless fierceness of the Shatuo people made Li Jing have to consider the fact that if there was no numerical advantage, the Zhendong Army would not be as good as the Shatuo Army at the moment. If you hit it strongly, you will inevitably have to pay a lot of damage.

"Xingxu, what do you say is the purpose of our entry this time?" Li Jing asked.

Of course, entering the Jin Dynasty is to quell the rebellion, but things are not so simple. Li Zhen's evaluation of Li Jing in his heart, this lord seems to be a person who is not profitable on the surface, but in fact, although he is young, he has a very strategic vision, and many of his actions are in the next big game of chess. The entry into Jin is not only because of the emperor's will. Although Li Jing was quite loyal to the emperor on the surface, Li Zhen had already seen that this was only because maintaining loyalty to the emperor at the moment was the most beneficial way for the Zhendong army. If this were not the case, Li Jing would never have obeyed the emperor's will so much, and from his original intention, he would not have seen the true loyalty to the emperor in Li Jing's bones.

What is the purpose of entering Jin to quell the turmoil?

Li Zhen thought about it and felt that it was for fame and prestige. At present, although Li Jing is valued by the Son of Heaven, after all, his strength is not strong, and he is not even a knotted envoy, but now he is just a defensive envoy, and there are all defensive envoys above, observation envoys, and jiedu envoys.

Especially Li Jing has now offended the eunuch Tian Lingzi, and Li Jing is completely at a disadvantage if he wants to confront him. If you want to change this, you need to strengthen yourself. This strength includes not only soldiers, horses, money, food, and territory, but also fame and prestige.

Li Jing is not from a wealthy family, although he is Cui Yunqing, Yu Xuan's protégé, and Song Wei's righteous son, but this aspect is still insufficient. In this way, Li Jing can only rely on fighting to improve his reputation and prestige. Li Jing can be where he is today, and it is exactly like this all the way.

The rebellion of the Shatuo people was unstoppable from the beginning, and the successive changes of commanders in the imperial court could not contain it.

If Li Jing can defeat the Shatuo people at this time, then the prestige of Li Jing and the Zhendong Army will be truly famous all over the world. At that time, even a great eunuch like Tian Lingzi had to be much more scrupulous.

Li Zhen said his thoughts with some reservations.

"Since we want to use the counterinsurgency to strengthen the prestige of our Zhendong Army, isn't it even more important to attack?" Guo Chengan didn't turn a corner for a while.

Li Jing smiled slightly, but did not say all his thoughts.

There are several ways to fight. At present, among the seven towns of the imperial court, Li Jing is only a partial division, although he holds the position of commander of the eastern camp, but his status is far inferior to Zheng Congyan, and even Yu Xuan and Li Jun are not as good as him. In such a situation, if Li Jing really fought all the way over, the most reluctant and the Shatuo people who stayed in Daibei would work hard, even if Daibei was recovered, it would not be much credit.

The most crucial thing in this counterinsurgency is not to recover Daibei, but to defeat Li Keyong and Li Guochang.

Li Jing's goal is Li Keyong's father and son, and now, he doesn't plan to consume power here needlessly. What's more, if he really occupies Li Ke's backyard here, he will consume his strength in vain, and it is very likely that Zheng Congyan and other soldiers and horses in the middle will take advantage of it.

"After taking Naoya Pass, the brothers are also tired. Let's take a break for a while, and then collect the rations on the spot. By the way, according to the previous arrangement, for Ulzhou, we want three lights, cattle and cattle are searched, money, grain, gold and silk are taken away, and all the people and border people are moved. Li Jing said.

Li Jing's current idea is very simple, he only needs to lead the army all the way to the past and force the Shatuo soldiers in the northern cities to take the initiative to evacuate. Then he easily recovered the cities, and by the way, robbed all the cattle, sheep, horses, money, grain, and property in Daibei. He even wanted to move all the people who were in the north to southern Liaoning and Dengzhou.

As for whether those Shatuo people who stayed behind would go to join Li Keyong after withdrawing to increase their strength, this Li Jing didn't care.

The first merit of entering the Jin Dynasty and recovering the north of the dynasty. This is Li Jing's goal, and he wants to recover Daibei, and he does not plan to fight hard with the Shatuo people, but to easily accept these empty cities. First drive these people to join Li Keyong, it is best that after Li Ke can use these soldiers, he can beat the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, otherwise, how to show the courage and extraordinaryness of the Zhendong army.

Li Zhen had finally figured out Li Jing's idea at this time, and couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead. The Lord is preparing to make the soldiers and horses in the towns of Taiyuan feel bad, I hope God bless these officers and soldiers, and they will not be beaten too badly. (To be continued......)
