Lu Yijian gave Cao Wei angrily.
Cao Wei pretended not to see his eyes, and said to himself: "Most of my soldiers and horses in the Song Dynasty are in the north. Now that the officials draw most of the soldiers from the north to Xixia, it is impossible to send reinforcements to help us.
After the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu learned of this, he would definitely act.
We should deal with it carefully. "
When Lu Yijian heard this, he coldly snorted, "You seem to be not at all disgusted with the officials leading troops to attack Xixia?"
Cao Wei stared at Lu Yijian weirdly, "Why should I be disgusted? The officials are willing to lead the army to conquer, which is a troublesome matter for your civil servants, but for us military ministers, it is great news.
As long as there are battles in the court, the warriors of our generation will be useful.
My generation of warriors also have a day in their lives.
There will be more warriors in Zhu Zi in the court in the future.
When the time comes, our military ministers will not need to live under the pressure of your civil servants. "
Lu Yijian said disdainfully: "You don't understand the truth that belligerence must die."
Cao Wei said indifferently: "I understand the truth, but if the inherent territory of the Han and Tang dynasties can be considered militant, then we can simply tie up our hands and feet, let the enemy become stronger, and then swallow us in one bite."
Lu Yijian stared and shouted, "You know what I mean is not what I mean."
Cao Wei nodded and said: "I know that you are worried that the officials will be obsessed with the taste of opening up and expanding the land. After taking back the inherent territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, continue to fight abroad.
But now we have not recovered the inherent territory of the Han and Tang dynasties. The ones you worry about are somewhat redundant. "
Lv Yijian said dissatisfied: "I call it a rainy day."
Cao Wei curled his lips and said: "Don't worry. The officials know it well. Even after reclaiming the inherent territories of the Han and Tang dynasties, if the officials are determined to conquer Siyi, they will swallow the territories in our stomach and digest them. Mobilize troops.
By that time, muskets and artillery will probably be equipped to the entire army.
Those young descendants must also show their heads in the court.
You and I will be two nasty old men, and no one listens to anything. "
Lu Yijian opened her mouth, but did not speak again.
What Cao Wei said was very real, and it made people tremble, but he was powerless to refute it.
"Even if the officials want to conquer things, they will not reuse your martial arts, he will only promote new talents."
Lu Yijian said viciously.
Cao Wei said indifferently, "What's the matter with me? When I finish beating the Liao people, after the class teacher returns to the court, I will resign from all posts in the court hall and go to the Wenchang Academy to teach and educate people.
When the officials ask me to come out to fight, I will not come out.
Officials re-use Wuxun, and Wuxun is my descendant.
The officials who reused new talents are all my disciples.
In short, the one who stood in the court in the end would be my junior.
They can still take action against me. "
Lu Yijian felt jealous when he heard Cao Wei's words so free and easy.
"At that time, I will also go to Wenchang Academy..."
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, and said with a smile: "Are you willing to subdue to Lord Kou?"
Lu Yijian gritted her teeth and said nothing.
As the saying goes, literary has no first, and Wu has no second.
The same person who has served as a Ping Zhang affair under the school of Tongzhong, no one is willing to go to work under other people's sect.
Li Di's willingness to go to Hexi to open up wasteland and unwillingness to stay in Bianjing to teach is a good example.
Didn't Kou Zhun throw an olive branch for Li Di
Kou Zhun passed by, and Li Di had been to Wenchang Academy, but in the end he didn't stay in Wenchang Academy, and instead went to Hexi.
If Lu Yijian went to the Wenchang Academy, 80% of them would sway them, and then find a reason to set up another door, or go to do something else.
Seeing Lu Yijian fell into silence, Cao Wei continued: "Let’s talk about the war. Now that the official family has taken people to the northwest, it has helped us share part of the pressure from the court, and we can also breathe a sigh of relief. Up.
The officials secretly sent people a lot of money and food.
The queen and Kou Ji’s wife also helped us raise winter clothes in Bianjing.
We don't have to eat frugally and save money from the soldiers.
You go down and go around, distribute some food, and let the soldiers open to eat.
They followed us to eat the chaff for more than half a year, and the hungry face became thinner, and it was time for a good meal.
Although you and I can't be like Kou Ji, wantonly dividing the conquered territories to soldiers.
But at least it can help them get a full meal.
When the official family went north, the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu would definitely not sit back and wait for death.
The soldiers will have strength only when they are full. "
Lu Yijian heard what Cao Wei said, sighed and nodded slowly.
He used to turn a blind eye to the suffering in the army.
During Kou Zhun's administration, he streamlined the world's soldiers and horses. He also cooperated in accordance with Kou Zhun's instructions and never expressed his opinion.
Now that he has spent more than half a year with the soldiers, he understands how pitiful the soldiers at the bottom have been.
A group of people who have been eating chaff for more than half a year, but have not made a single complaint, how can it be pitiful.
That is to say, he is hard-hearted, so he will come over with a soft-hearted person, and he will probably touch his nose.
Now that they can have a full meal, Lu Yijian will naturally cooperate.
After nodding, Lu Yijian asked Cao Wei, "When do you think the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu will use troops? How do you use troops?"
Cao Wei shook his head, "The thoughts of Emperor Liao, few people can guess. So now we can only step up our defenses, so as not to change."
Lu Yijian sighed: "I hope the war will end soon, and the soldiers will not have to suffer with us."
Cao Wei nodded slowly, his gaze towards the outside of Tongtai Pass.
Outside Tongtaiguan.
Liao Army Camp.
Inside the Great Tent of the Chinese Army of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu half-squinted, lying on a couch, listening to Liu Shenxing's report on the news from Bianjing.
The news that Liu Shenxing reported to the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu was roughly the same as that reported by Cao Wei's men, except that some key figures were missing.
After listening to Liu Shenxing’s report, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly opened his eyes and stared at Liu Shenxing: "You mean, my imperial nephew, I dispatched most of the soldiers and horses in the north of Song Kingdom to Xixia, go Conquered Xixia?"
Liu Shenxing nodded slowly, "Except for Song Dynasty's Dragon God and Second Guard, who is sitting in Bianjing, the rest of the soldiers and horses seem to have arrived at the border of Xixia."
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu pondered for a moment, and said: "The soldiers and horses in the north of the Song Kingdom are as big as a million. Cao Wei led 300,000 in my Daliao area. Then my imperial nephew will take the soldiers from Xixia Horses should be as many as seven to eight hundred thousand.
My imperial nephew is bold enough, more than a hundred times stronger than my imperial brother. "
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu slowly sat up, and said with emotion: "700,000 to 800,000 heavy soldiers, fighting a small Xixia, I dare not do this, he is bold.
Xixia people are calculating my Daliao and Song Kingdom, so they really should fight.
A little Xixia, what qualifications does it have to calculate between our two countries. "
Liu Shenxing nodded in agreement.
Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu continued: "Maybe my imperial nephew has other purposes. The attack on Xixia is just a cover. Now he is leading the troops and horses in Yinzhou, and it is possible at any time to split a part of the troops to invade my Daliao.
There is Xiao Hui guarding Yanmen Pass, but I am not worried.
However, there is no one in Dongshengzhou, so I feel a little worried. "
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu said at this point, "Summon Xiao Pidi to see you!"
The eunuch in front of the hall heard the instructions of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu and hurriedly went down to pass the order.
After Xiao Pidi heard the eunuch's order, he immediately rushed to the Chinese army's tent.
After Xiao Pidi’s salute, Yelu Longxu, the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, instructed: "You go to Dongsheng Prefecture, help me stare, don't let Song people come in from Dongsheng Prefecture."
The reason why the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu cared about Dongsheng Prefecture so much was because he was afraid that Zhao Zhen would separate a division from Dongsheng Prefecture and walk along the Great Wall to Gubeikou and other places, blocking his retreat and blocking him to death. In Yanyun sixteen states.
After hearing the instructions of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, Xiao Pidi did not hesitate and agreed. After asking about the departure time and the specific details of the troops, he led the soldiers and left the Tongtai Pass.
As soon as Xiao Bidi was gone, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu gave an order without hesitation, ordering General Mi Liji to lead the soldiers and horses of the various tribes to attack Tongtai Pass at all costs.
At the same time, he ordered Xiao Hui, who was sitting in Datong Mansion, to launch a counterattack against Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang.
Following the transmission of the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu's order, after calming down for more than half a year, the war broke out again.
It's just that the fighting at Tongtaiguan remains as usual.
Although the Liao people's offensive was much fierce, they still used the soldiers and horses of the various tribes.
On the contrary, it was the battle at Yanmen Pass, which was fought very tragically.
Xiao Hui had previously retreated under the attack of Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang, but did not counterattack.
Now that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu issued the order to counterattack, Xiao Hui was finally able to let go of a battle.
In just one month.
The Huanzhou occupied by the Song Dynasty changed hands four times.
Xiao Huibing split into two groups, sending troops from Ying and Yun, and flanking Huanzhou from left to right. Li Zhaoliang was defeated and Huanzhou was defeated.
Li Zhaoliang lost Huanzhou and retreated to Shuozhou.
Yang Wenguang led his troops to attack Huanzhou, and broke through Huanzhou with the benefit of Bingjia.
Huanzhou changed hands again.
Yang Wenguang occupied Huanzhou for several days, and Xiao Hui attacked Huanzhou again.
Yang Wenguang's men were not strong enough, so he asked Li Zhaoliang for help.
Li Zhaoliang led the soldiers and horses on the way to Huanzhou when they encountered a cavalry raid from the Liao Army, which delayed the time.
Huanzhou is lost.
Yang Wenguang led the retreat to the border of Shuozhou.
After Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang met, they joined forces and attacked Huanzhou again.
Huanzhou was captured again.
Huanzhou flopped back and forth between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom four times.
The situation has not changed, but the strength of both sides has been lost very seriously.
After Cao Wei learned that Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang in Huanzhou had fewer than 70,000 soldiers and horses, he mobilized a Xiang army under him and rushed to help.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu also sent a team of soldiers to help Xiao Hui.
After the soldiers and horses of the two sides arrived, the war broke out again.
Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang absorbed the lessons of previous defeats and built Huanzhou into a copper wall and iron wall, keeping Huanzhou to the death.
Huanzhou did not change hands again, but the forces in the hands of Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang were constantly depleting.
Cao Wei sighed after receiving the paperwork for Yang Wenguang and Li Zhaoliang to send reinforcements for the second time.
Sitting next to him, Lu Yijian wearing a long gown stared at Cao Wei who was sighing, "Is the Emperor Liao weakening our forces?"
Cao Wei nodded slowly.
"He didn't take our confidence in one fell swoop, so he wanted to weaken our strength by weakening our strength. As long as the strength of our hands is reduced to the range that he can accept, he will completely attack us. ."
Lu Yijian questioned: "How many troops can he accept?"
Cao Wei thought about it, and said, "One hundred thousand!"
Lu Yijian frowned and said, "Should I write to Bianjing for help?"
Cao Wei looked at Lu Yijian and said dumbfounded: "What's the use of asking Bianjing for help? The officials are not in Bianjing, nor are the soldiers and horses of the court in Bianjing."
"Then send someone to the northwest!"
"Being not!"
"Why?"
"not the right time yet."
"When is the time then? When did the Emperor Liao break through the Tongtai Pass?"
Cao Wei glanced at Lu Yijian, too lazy to talk to him.
When the two were fighting, Di Qing hurriedly entered the city gate and said in a deep voice: "Cao Shuai, Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu, lead all the soldiers and horses to attack!"
Cao Wei was taken aback for a moment, and his face was stunned.
"All soldiers and horses?"
Di Qing nodded heavily.
Cao Wei asked, "Pi Shijun is among them?"
Di Qing nodded again.
Cao Wei frowned suspiciously, "It shouldn't be..."
Lu Yijian said on the side: "It seems that the number of troops that Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu can accept is far more than you think."
Cao Wei pondered: "I always feel something is wrong."
Lu Yijian asked, "What's wrong?"
Cao Wei hesitated: "I can't tell you! I always feel that the Liao Emperor's attack violates his purpose. He has spent so long with us. There is no reason why I can't wait for ten and a half months?"
Lu Yijian casually said: "Maybe he has any reason why he can't wait?"
"Perhaps!"
Cao Wei didn't understand, so she didn't want to.
He gave an order to Di Qing: "Since the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu sent all the soldiers and horses to attack the city, we can't hide them. Let all the soldiers go to the city wall. In addition, guns and artillery are also brought on. City wall."
Upon hearing this, Di Qing immediately went down to pass the order.
The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty in Tongtai Pass were all mounted on the city wall after receiving the order.
The Liao army outside the city was like a rainbow, pressing over like a black cloud.
It was not the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu who led the troops, but Xiao Punu, the king of Xi Liubu, as well as the king of Changsha County Xie Jianu, the king of Lean County, the king of Lean County, the king of Zhongshan County, Chage, and the king of Yuzhang.
The leaders of the soldiers were all quite big, but they were not as good as the Liao Emperor Yelulongxu.
Cao Wei and Lu Yijian stood on the head of the city, and did not see the emperor Yelulongxu's flag appearing.
Cao Wei firmed up his guess.
There was something wrong with the Liao Emperor Yelu Longxu.
The Liao State's use of troops against Tongtaiguan this time was not right.
But he couldn't go deep into it.
Because the Liao army has already been crushed under the city.
