Compared with the soldiers who fought bloody battles at the border and their lives were always in danger, Li Ye, who was in Chang'an, was now more like a civil servant. The experience of leading the army in the past and fighting hard seems to have become a thing of the past that will never return, and only exists in memory.

In this regard, Li Ye personally did not have much emotion, he knew that this was the only way.

The king who came out of the battlefield and finally stood in a high position will one day completely leave the battlefield and complete the transformation from a general to an emperor. The war was under his control, but he no longer needed to be on the front lines.

Over the years, Li Ye, who fought in the south and the north, has cultivated a thick enough team, and all kinds of due layouts have also been done, if he still needs to do everything himself, it will become a joke for the dynasty to reappear in the prosperous world.

When Song Jiaolai came to deliver the information, she saw Li Ye sitting in the pavilion by the lotus pond, being served to drink and enjoy the flowers, so she was immediately angry.

Walked over and snatched the wine jug from Li Ye's hand, poured himself glass after glass, until the wine jug was empty, and then stared at Li Ye with a demonstrative gaze, looking like I see if you have a conscience, wanting to make Li Ye feel ashamed.

Li Ye didn't feel ashamed, but was amused and laughed dumbly, "Aunt Song must have encountered something good recently." ”

Song Jiao snorted and said angrily: "What good can I do with you, a guy who is getting lazier and lazier?"

"Wouldn't it?" Li Ye's innocent eyes widened, "Then why is Aunt Song looking younger and younger recently?"

Song Jiao lowered her head and took a sip, "You know nonsense." ”

If you want to talk about happy things, Song Jiao naturally has it, and the Tsing Yi Yamen has completed internal rectification. It lasted for a short time and had a good effect, which can be called a thunderous means, not to mention that the loss was minimized, and it did not hinder the overall operation, and Song Jiao, who was led by one hand, was naturally the key.

Now, although the war has begun, it is still in the early stages after all, and there is no Khitan in Datang. Gouged out Yelu Abaoji's eyes looking at Datang in time, so that the war was not affected much, which made Song Jiao greatly relieved.

These days have been without heart disease, and Song Jiao is inevitably refreshed.

As for Li Ye, there are no Khitan spies in the country, and his emptiness and true view, according to the earlier plan, have rapidly expanded their power on the grassland, even if there is no large-scale action for the time being, but in the near future, it is definitely useful.

Under the advantages of the other, Li Ye is a little more sure of winning this war, and it is difficult not to be happy.

Since ancient times, the hearts of the grassland people have been the most difficult to control. The Central Plains Dynasty was able to conquer them for a short time, and even wiped out the powerful tribes among them, but history proves that the steppe herdsmen never disappeared, nor were they completely ruled by the Central Plains Dynasty.

And as soon as they become strong, they will invade the south, which is a problem that has never been really solved.

Li Ye's desire to rule the hearts of the steppe herdsmen and control their minds through religion is a means that can definitely be tried at present, and the effect is bound to be good.

In a few more years, the Tang Dynasty, which is not short of food, can ensure that their bodies are not starved to death when the grassland is changing, so what reason does the grassland people, who are ruled by the dynasty physically and mentally at the same time, have to invade the south?

A grassland hero like Yelu Abaoji is no matter how respected he is, in the face of Datang's strategy, Li Ye doesn't believe that the other party can still roll up any storms on the grassland.

Song Jiao told Li Ye about the current battle situation: Wang Jian was in Nanzhao step by step, and the progress was quite smooth;

Li Xian, Nangong No. 1 and the Guiyi Army, in the case of reinforcements, also blocked the Uighur army from the pass, although the other side attacked fiercely, but the craftsmen made many powerful weapons in the army, not to mention anything else, only forty or fifty magic weapons bed crossbows, which made the Uighur siege soldiers miserable;

Zhao Poyu led Yulin to sit on the front line of Yanzhou, Changning and Yuancong armies guarded Pingzhou, and the Xiao cavalry army guarded Jizhou, all of which blocked the Khitan soldiers, although there was no big victory for a while, but the Khitan wanted to defeat them, and it was not a momentary achievement.

Li Maozhen recovered quickly from her injuries, and now she is sitting in Youzhou, controlling the situation in the north, and the Tiger Guards, who have not yet been dispatched, are her bargaining chips to guard against the Khitan soldiers, and she is expected to be transferred to the front line in Danzhou.

All in all, the battle was smooth everywhere, and although there was no hope of a quick victory, in the current situation, it would not be broken through by Yelu Abaoji.

After saying this, Song Jiao put down the paperwork she had summarized, sighed and said to Li Ye: "Shangguan Chengcheng refuses to come back, but he no longer mentions leading the army to fight, and only asks to guard the border city." ”

Li Ye rubbed his eyebrows, and he was also helpless about Shangguan Allure's attitude. He had already given several orders to let Shangguan Chengcheng return to Chang'an to recuperate from his injuries, but this Nizi did not listen to the dispatch for the first time in his life, and every time his order was issued, there would be a letter asking for war to come back.

"If she wants to stay in the border city, stay in the border city. Li Ye knew that the other party's injuries could not be recovered overnight, although he was worried about her safety, but he didn't want to force anything.

And this is not the key, the damage of the Wolf Tooth Army's elite cavalry is more than ninety, she has no descendants in her hands, and the power of the battle formation of the famous generals has been greatly reduced, how to make up and train the soldiers is the core problem that Li Ye needs to solve for her.

Nowadays, all departments of the Chang'an Forbidden Army need to be responsible for the war, and the replenishment of new recruits is not a short time to be effective, Li Ye thinks that this battle has not been much to Shangguan Chengcheng, and her task has been completed, which is the fundamental reason for her to come back.

After Song Jiaoyu reported the military situation everywhere, she did not leave immediately, so the scene of Li Ye enjoying the lotus alone soon became two people looking at flowers.

Drinking and appreciating flowers, although it is a romantic affair, the topic that Li Ye and Song Jiao talked about was not at all to follow the trend and the flowers and snowmoon.

"The Beikou guard found out that there was a Khitan army outside the pass, and on the way back from the ranger army, he was chased and killed by the Khitan elite cavalry, but fortunately, there was no empty release gate and Quanzhenguan to rescue - since they can lead the grassland herdsmen to battle, from this point of view, the strength is not to be underestimated. ”

Song Jiao looked at Li Ye with burning eyes, "From the Daomen to the Quanzhen Temple, from the Liberation Gate to the Wukong Liberation Gate, from the Confucian Gate to the Qingzhou Confucian Gate, and now the Yangzhou Confucian Gate...... From defeating Li Keyong and subduing Zhao Poyu, to defeating Gao Biao, King Qi handed over to Guanzhong, and then to Kefu Hexi and surrendered Wang Jian......

"After coming down from Shenyun Mountain, you fought all the way to the south and the north, subduing more people than killing people, and the power you subdued was stronger than the power you destroyed. Because of this, in just a few years, you have let the Tang Dynasty sit firmly in the middle of the world, so that the dynasty has a tendency to build a prosperous era again.

"You are on a different path than ordinary kings, is this your way to success?"

Li Ye spread his hands, "What is the way to success, this is the emperor's way." ”

Song Jiao condensed and asked, "What is the Emperor's Dao?"

Li Ye smiled, "The one who can control the world is the emperor." ”

Song Jiao was stunned and said: "Not only do you have the power of the world's envoys, but even the immortals of the immortal realm and the demon clans of the foreign land are working for you, so isn't this?"

Li Ye nodded, "You're right, this should probably be called the Emperor Imperial Immortal Demon." Only in this way can I seek to prosper the Tang Dynasty. ”

......

The battle between Yanzhou and Pingzhou was hot, and Jizhou was not idle, but Yelu Abaoji was not in these places, and his royal tent stood in the depths of the grassland in the north of Danzhou, located in the center, and ruled over the Quartet.

"In this way, the army has been prepared for a long time, and the plan that has been laid out for a long time has been destroyed because of the hundred and ten ordinary Tang army rangers?" In the king's tent, Yelu Abaoji's face was gloomy.

Yelu Lugu, the general of the department who reported the military situation, was sweating and did not dare to say more with his head down.

As Yelu Abaoji's confidant and an existence known for his wisdom, Yelugu's enemy certainly knows how much effort the other party has spent in preparing for this raid on Danzhou.

Yelu Abaoji stared at Yelu's enemy Lugu: "The army has not attacked Danzhou, of course, because the terrain of Beikou is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but in the case of the fierce offensive in Pingzhou and Yanzhou, the Tang army will mobilize troops and horses to these two places to reinforce, as long as Danzhou is empty, we can break through from the center of the Tang army's defense line and take Youzhou directly!"

"And now, the actions of the army are exposed to the eyes of the Tang Army because you failed to solve the hundred and ten rangers, and you, the general of the near division, are now useless to this point?"

Sensing Yelu Abaoji's anger, Yelu Rugu could only kneel on the ground and be willing to be punished.

The Khitan did not attack Danzhou before, and the Tang army naturally did not think that the Khitan would never attack.

But the way of a soldier is fiction and reality. As long as the whereabouts of the Khitan army are well hidden, and the Tang army confirms that there is no Khitan army outside the Beikou Pass, then it is natural to give priority to the follow-up troops in these two places when the pressure on the two battlefields of East and West Pingzhou and Fuzhou is doubled.

The terrain of the border city of Beikou is dangerous, and it is not easy to break through ordinarily, and in the case of limited troops, the border army relies on the terrain to hold on, and Li Maozhen does not send too many guards, which is completely reasonable.

According to the Khitan's previous report, the Tang army's army going north only had a total of 500,000 forbidden troops, even if Lu Long's army was added, it was still not much, and the Khitan soldiers and horses were several times that.

The Tang Army fought on several fronts, and the deployment of troops and horses and the matching logistics and transportation of grain, straw, ordnance, and other logistics naturally put a huge pressure and stretched thin. With Datang's current ability, it is simply unable to supply a million troops in the north in the current situation.

"Your human head, for the time being, is on your shoulder. A hundred military sticks, go and get them yourself!" Yelu Abaoji finally said this coldly.

Jerod's enemy Lugu was pardoned and hurriedly thanked.

In fact, he also felt wronged, why did five hundred elite horsemen, with eyeliner scout rangers, intercept and kill more than 100 Tang troops. The most bizarre thing is that none of the five hundred elite horsemen came back, which made it difficult for Yelu Rugu to figure out what happened at that time in the first place.

After receiving the military stick, Yelu Lugu limped back with his buttocks covered, and bowed down and said, "King, now that our plan to attack the north entrance has been exposed, is it time to leave this place and find a new battlefield to break through?"

Yelu Abaoji took a sip of wine, his eyes were deep, and he said leisurely: "Why do you want to leave? ”
