The civil and military of the Liao Kingdom in the palace quietly listened to the great power of the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.
After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu reprimanded the ministers of civil and military affairs, his face was gloomy and said: "My Daliao wants to conquer the Song State. Before I start, Song State took the lead. The coming is fierce. Also the posture.
Zhao Zhen is not Zhao Guangyi, nor Zhao Heng.
He has neither the stupidity of his ancestor nor the cowardice of his father.
Only a few years after he became the throne, he won a huge territory in the Western Regions.
Everyone knows his ambition.
Song Guo took the lead in my Daliao and launched an offensive, presumably he had already intended to start a war against my Daliao.
Since Song State had long ago intended to start a war against my Daliao, and took the lead in launching an offensive, it shows that Song State was very well prepared.
My Daliao may have the most difficult battle. "
The Privy Council of Daliao Tongzhi heard the words of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, and said: "Your Majesty, the Song people are weak, how can they be the opponents of my Daliao iron cavalry? The Song people invaded in the past, the king of Song designed, and defeated the Song three times. People, so that Song people dare not invade one step northward.
Now that the war has resumed, we can use King Song’s strategy to lure the enemy into deep, gather and wipe them out. "
Daliao Tongzhi, the king of the Song Dynasty, whom the Privy Council had blurred, was the late King Yeluxiu of the Southern Court of the Liao Kingdom.
Because when the Empress Dowager Chengtian was alive, Jiashan Yeluxiu's merits were dictated to the pilgrimage to be exempt from worship and no name was used.
Therefore, Mi Liji can only call his title, but he can't directly call his name.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu frowned after hearing what Lili said, "I just said that Zhao Zhen is not Zhao Guangyi. He never interfered in the dispatch of soldiers and horses, nor did he use imperial orders to interfere with soldiers and horses.
Cao Wei is also not his father Cao Bin, and will be fooled by Song Emperor's temperament.
Therefore, the old wisdom of King Song is not advisable.
Song State sent 300,000 troops, divided into two groups, rushed all the way to Yanmen Pass, and was attacking Zhuozhou all the way.
The number of soldiers and horses sent by Song State to Yanmen Pass was only one hundred thousand, and it was obvious that there was no plan to confess.
We want to use King Song's old wisdom to lure the enemy into deep and destroy the enemy separately. I am afraid it is not so easy.
If my guess is correct, even if we open the door to the front line of the Dading Mansion and let the enemy come in, the enemy will not take any further steps.
Therefore, the frontline war at Yanmen Pass can only be fought head-on, and cannot tolerate too many conspiracies.
The same was true for the war between Youzhou and Zhuozhou.
Cao Wei led an army of 200,000, but there was no army to suppress the border, and went straight to Youzhou. Instead, he sent Di Qing led a part of the soldiers and horses to raid Tongtai Pass. He slowly cleaned Zhuozhou from behind, showing that he had made up his mind to fight steadily. . "
Speaking of this, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's face was a little unsightly and said: "My Daliao is not afraid of the Song State, I am afraid that the Song State will fight with us steadily and continue to consume it.
Although my Daliao has a vast territory and many soldiers, it is still not as wealthy as the Song State.
Song State has enough money to spend, but we don't have it.
Since Song Guo decided to fight steadily, then my Daliao can no longer stand still, and must take the initiative to attack. "
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly raised his face, and said solemnly: "The order was passed to Yeluye and Tu Lugu who rushed to Dading Mansion, telling them not to stay in Dading Mansion, and let them rush to Yanmen Pass and attack Yanmen Pass. .
Misty yourself, you take 30,000 horses, light the cart, and immediately go south to regain Tongtaiguan.
Be sure to get back Tongtaiguan before Cao Wei clears Zhuozhou.
Only by taking back the Tongtai Pass, can we take the first opportunity, advance and retreat, and defend. "
When Mi Liji heard the words of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he was a little stunned, "Your Majesty, would you let your ministers attack Tongtai Pass?"
Mi Liji was also an important minister in Daliao anyway. He went to play against Di Qing, did he mean to kill a chicken with a sledgehammer
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu heard the deep meaning of the words that were blurred. He frowned and said: "Don’t be inferior to Di Qing. He can be valued by Zhao Zhen, Kou Ji, and Cao Wei, which is enough to show that he is a warrior. A very talented person."
There is still some unhappiness in Mi Li's heart.
Whether or not you can rule the roost on the battlefield, it is all about the record, not by whom it is valued.
If you can rule the roost on the battlefield if you are valued, then why do you still have a record
Although Mi Liji was unhappy, he did not dare to speak out.
The Liao Emperor Yelulongxu was obviously determined, and he did not dare to touch the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu's brow.
As the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu said, nowadays, there are many soldiers in the Liao Dynasty. He is not willing to go, and naturally some people are willing to go.
Evil Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, he, a great minister of the Liao Dynasty, is likely to change back to the past overnight.
There are quite a lot of people who can conquer Daliao, and there are even more people who can serve as secret envoys of Daliao.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu made a decision, and someone quickly conveyed his order.
Mi Liji also left the palace, ordered his soldiers and horses, and rushed to Tongtaiguan.
The news that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent Mi Liji to attack Tongtai Pass, Cao Wei and Lu Yijian, only learned about it three days later.
After three days of attacking, Cao Wei's Great Song soldiers and horses have already captured half of Zhuozhou.
The Tongtai Pass was broken, and the Liao soldiers in Zhuozhou were like lone soldiers. After they encountered the Great Song soldiers and horses, they would not love fighting at all. They would retreat if they could retreat, or run if they could.
In their hearts, preserving strength is far more important than struggling with the Song Dynasty soldiers.
After Cao Wei led people to break Fanyang County in Zhuozhou, he stayed in Fanyang County.
The county government of Fanyang County.
After hearing the news reported by the spies, Cao Wei frowned slightly. He turned his head to Lu Yijian, who was sitting on the side, and said: "The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu should have seen that we will not advance, so he gave up the idea of enticing the enemy to go deeper. Choose head-to-head with us.
He sent Liao General Mi Liji led 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack Tongtai Pass, which is ironclad proof.
If the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu deliberately led us into the game, it is absolutely impossible to dispatch troops and horses at this time. "
Lu Yijian pondered: "Are you worried that Di Qing can't handle the 30,000 soldiers and horses led by Mi Li?"
Cao Wei slowly shook his head and said: "Di Qing holds a heavy armored cavalry in his hand, and has a lot of powerful ordnance equipped by the court. It shouldn't be a problem to deal with the 30,000 soldiers and horses that have been confused.
What I worry about is that the escaped Yongtai Army will gather together to help Mi Liji deal with Di Qing.
Yongtai Army is a town army based in Zhuozhou of the Liao State. It travels in Zhuozhou all the year round, and is far more familiar with Zhuozhou's terrain than we are.
After my army entered Zhuozhou, the Yongtai Army saw us, running as long as we could, and avoiding where we could avoid. They have been wandering around in Zhuozhou.
I am worried that they are just waiting for the opportunity to attack Tongtai Pass.
If Di Qing only dealt with the 30,000 soldiers and horses who had lost his mind, it would be better to say, if the Yongtai Army was added, it would be hard to say.
It's hard to say whether it can be supported by the enemy. "
After listening to Cao Wei's analysis, Lu Yijian frowned and asked, "How are you going to respond?"
Cao Wei said solemnly: "I am going to send a team of 10,000 soldiers and horses to Tongtai Pass to help Di Qing. At the same time, I ordered the entire army to recover Zhuozhou as soon as possible. As long as my 200,000 army arrives at Tongtai Pass, the Liao Emperor Yelu Even if Long Xu led an army to attack, he could only return in a disastrous defeat."
On offense, Cao Wei dare not guarantee, but on defense, Cao Wei is confident.
Lu Yijian nodded slowly and said: "I will tell the officials below to let them resume the government of Zhuozhou as soon as possible, and try not to cause you trouble."
Cao Wei nodded and sent someone to pass the order.
It's just that the 10,000 horses dispatched by Cao Wei have not yet arrived at Tongtai Pass.
The 30,000 Liaoqi led by Mi Liji rushed to Tongtai Pass.
Mi Liji was a bit big, and after rushing to Tongtai Pass, he did not rest, and immediately launched a fierce attack on Tongtai Pass.
Di Qing had already prepared for someone to attack, so he prepared everything to defend the city.
Rolling wood, stone, gold juice, etc. are all available.
Hundred tigers, bed crossbows and other heavy ordnance were also all erected on the head of the city.
As soon as Mi Liji led the Liao soldiers appeared under the city wall, Di Qing ordered to greet them together.
With the help of heavy ordnance, the Tiger Army led by Di Qing forced the enemy dozens of feet away from the city wall.
The Liao soldiers attacked the city with great momentum, but they couldn't get close to the city wall of Tongtaiguan.
The two sides fought fiercely for three consecutive games.
Mi Liji had to Mingjin to retreat.
The price Xiaoxun Diqing paid was felt by Mili.
After three rounds of strong attacks, more than a thousand Liao soldiers fell under Tongtai Pass.
The Song army on the head of the city only injured a hundred people and killed dozens of them.
The dozens of people who died were the achievements of the marksman in the army.
"Tongtaiguan is a hard bone..."
After Mi Li Jiming Jin received his troops, he sat in the military tent and spoke to the generals under him in a heavy voice.
A bearded general sitting not far from him said with a sigh of relief: "As far as his subordinates know, the enemy still has heavy armor in his hands, and its strength is not weaker than that of the Iron Forest Army founded by King Song.
We attacked three times with our troops, and we didn't even force out the heavy armored cavalry in the enemy's hands.
The enemy only relied on weapons such as bows and crossbows to make it difficult for us to advance.
We want to attack from the front and win the Tongtai Pass. I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Must think of him separately. "
Mi Liji said with a solemn face: "I know that the enemy has heavy armor in his hands, so when it comes, I am ready to deal with the enemy's heavy armor. As long as the enemy's heavy armor dares to go out of the city, I will definitely give them a pain. Lessons."
The bearded general frowned and said, "Even if we can teach the enemy a bitter lesson, the price we will pay will not be too small. Moreover, the enemy clearly intends to defend itself, so no matter how much we prepare, it is useless."
Mi Liji turned his head and asked the entourage in the account, "The spies bypassed the Tongtai Pass and entered Zhuozhou. Can you find out the situation of the Yongtai Army in Zhuozhou?"
The entourage hurriedly said: "The spies have ascertained the situation of the Yongtai Army, but have not yet met with the Yongtai Army Jiedu. The Yongtai Army Jiedu is a smart man. After he learned that the Song Army had taken the Tongtai Pass, I led the entire Yongtai Army, and when they encountered the Song Army, they could run as long as they could. There was no direct battle with the Song Army, so the strength of the Yongtai Army was not weakened."
Mi Li squinted his eyes and said in a low voice, "He is smart and knows that the enemy is invincible, so he chose to preserve his strength. It's a pity that he is a Han, otherwise I can lead him to a confidant and promote him by one or two."
Under Miliji’s account, there is a Han Chinese as a general. He heard Miliji’s words and frowned and said: "General, now the imperial court appointed officials, regardless of Liao and Han."
Hearing this, Mi Liji sneered and said: "When the imperial court no longer says the northern and southern officials, you can tell me this again. If it weren't for your majesty to keep you under my account, how would I use it? you."
When the general heard this, he said in a deep voice: "When the general says this, isn't he afraid that the southern officer in the court will be hostile to you?"
Mi Liji coldly snorted: "Your Majesty has appointed a lot of southern officials, but the one who really holds power has always been my northern official."
The general gritted his teeth and said nothing.
Among the Liao people, there are those who are close to the Han people, and naturally there are also those who hate the Han people.
The reason to get close to the Han is to do things with the Han.
Those who hate the Han people think that the Han people's official career has infringed on the interests of their Liao people.
The Daliao aristocrats who hated the Han in the Daliao Dynasty never concealed their hatred for the Han.
In their eyes, the cowardly people in the Song Dynasty Hall were better than the southern officials.
They are cowardly, but somehow they have backbone.
Nanmian officials are a group of spineless things. If they really have spine, how can they be used by the Liao people
After reprimanding the general, Mi Liji stopped talking to him. Mi Liji solemnly ordered his entourage, saying: "Let the spies meet with Yongtai Army Jidushi as soon as possible, tell Yongtai Army Jidushi to cooperate with us, and attack from both sides. Tongtaiguan."
Speaking of this, Mi Liji glanced at the general from the southern official, and said, "Tell Yongtai Army Jiedushi, don't give me water. I know he has a lot of money from Song Guo." I use all the weapons that come."
The general who came from Nanmian official heard this and gritted his teeth and said, "Although I am a Han, I am also a Liao minister. Since I am a Liao minister, I will naturally do my best for your majesty."
Hearing the words, he sneered and said: "If you have the courage, you will be the pioneer in the next storm of Tongtai Pass!"
The general from Nan Mian official said almost without hesitation: "The final general will definitely not humiliate his mission, and will definitely behead Di Qing's head and dedicate it to your majesty."
"Very good..."
Mi Liji sneered and praised.
One day thereafter.
Mi Liji led his army to guard outside Tongtai Pass, and did not launch a strong attack on Tongtai Pass.
Inside Tongtaiguan.
Di Qing waited for a long time and couldn't wait for Mi Li to attack, and realized that something was wrong.
Di Qing Dama was sitting in the city gate with a golden sword. The generals under his opponents said: "General Liao led an army to attack. After three hastily battles, there was no movement. It should be waiting for the Yongtai army to come from behind us. Launch an offense.
Liao Jiang wanted to give us a two-sided attack.
So we must also deal with it in two separate ways.
Once the troops are divided, the strength of the defenders will probably be halved.
When the time comes, it will be difficult to suppress the Liao soldiers' strong offensive by relying on ordnance alone. "
It's not very difficult to guess the mind that is distracted.
The Liao State lost the Tongtai Pass and lost its first opportunity.
If you want to regain Tongtai Pass and seize the opportunity, the speed must be fast.
Because of one day's delay, the chance of winning the Tongtai Pass is one point less.
Once Cao Wei regained the entire territory of Zhuozhou and led an army to Tongtaiguan, even if the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu led hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to come, he could only stare at Tongtaiguan and sigh.
Therefore, Di Qing and his party can afford it, but Mi Liji's party can't afford it.
Mi Li knew the importance of time, but was wasted outside Tongtai Pass, and its purpose was self-evident.
