The large tent of the Central Army of Northern Liao Dynasty.
Yelvxiu, the king of the North Courtyard, was lying on the slip of paper, lighting an oil lamp and looking at the small pieces of cloth.
These strips of cloth were all delivered by the Full Moon Messenger lurking in the Gale Dynasty.
The Northern Liao people's infiltration into the Dafeng Dynasty has reached an unprecedented level.
While the aristocratic families and corrupt officials in the Dafeng Dynasty were preoccupied with corruption and infighting, the people of Bei Liao were already making plans secretly.
Even Li Yi couldn't figure out why?
Could it be said that the Dafeng people are not as smart as the Beiliao people, or are the Dafeng people too smart?
So smart that you have forgotten your ancestors!
"Ahem!"
Yelvxiu coughed twice and carefully looked at the cloth strip in his hand. The words on the cloth strip were concise and concise, adding up to only three or four hundred words.
But here, the weapons and equipment of the Dafeng New Army, the layout of the troops, and even the names of the generals at each level were listed one by one.
If Li Yi had been present, he would probably have been shocked, because even he was not familiar with all the generals below a thousand households.
But these names now appear in the hands of the enemy, which is undoubtedly terrifying.
Moreover, there is actually the marching route of their new army, and the arrival time is marked on it.
This is even more frightening.
This can also show that the actions of the entire Dafeng New Army are already under Yelvxiu's control.
now.
Yelu Xiu looked at these pieces of cloth repeatedly, frowning tightly, thinking for a moment, looking worried.
He said calmly, "Little emperor, it's not easy!"
At this moment, Yelu Wan, the king of the South Courtyard, smelling of alcohol, walked in. He burped in front of him and asked, "Second brother, what are you thinking about here when you're up so late at night?"
"Nothing, I will take a look at the information sent by the Full Moon Messenger." Yelvxiu kept staring at the strips of cloth in his hand.
"snort!"
"What's so good to see? What's the use of looking at these things? On the battlefield, you don't have to fight with real swords and guns!" Yelu Wan was completely dismissive of this.
Yelvxiu hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. He glared at him and said slowly: "Know yourself and the enemy, and you will never be in danger in a hundred battles. As a general, you don't even understand this principle. How to lead troops in war, I have told you a long time ago. Read more Order of war, don’t drink and fool around all day long.”
"It's no use!" Yelu Wan was lying on a chair beside him, his legs resting on the ground, making a figure-eight shape, and he said comfortably: "I have never read military books, but I still beat the gale and the people fled in all directions. "
"You, you!" Yelvxiu sighed helplessly and carefully gathered the cloth, "This time is different from the past. Our opponents are no longer those Gale frontier troops. To tell you the truth, the little emperor of the Gale Dynasty They’re here too, and they’ve brought a new army of Gale.”
"What nonsense is Dafeng's new army? This time, I will be the vanguard in this battle. You only need to give me 30,000 cavalry. In less than a day, I will capture the little Emperor Dafeng alive and bring him to your tent!" Yelu Wan scorned He smiled and didn't take Li Yi seriously at all.
Yelv Xiu looked helpless, turned around and walked to the document and threw a book to Ye Lu Wan, "Don't rush to talk big, you can read it before talking."
Ye Luwan opened the secretary, glanced at it, and immediately stood up in confusion, "Really or not, little Emperor Dafeng's new army is so powerful?"
Yelvxiu nodded, "This time the little emperor personally led the expedition and brought all the new troops under his command. Although this new army was not established for a long time, it can boast of its military achievements. Since the formation of the army, it has conquered the south and the north without a single defeat. , This is very similar to our Beiliao."
"Although Dafeng's rebels were not strong in combat power, they still numbered millions. They were defeated by the little emperor's new army in just a few days. The million-strong army was almost wiped out. Later, the little emperor's new army was defeated. The King of Liang rebelled, and the Great Liang Iron Horse marched all the way south. Wherever it passed, no one could defeat it. Unfortunately, its head was bruised and bloody in front of the little emperor's new army. In the end, even he himself was beheaded by the little emperor."
Ye Luwan's expression began to change, from contempt and disdain at the beginning to solemnity now.
Yelvxiu continued: "Let's not talk about the distant ones, let's just talk about the battles in front of us. Alibuda is a tiger general under my command. He is cautious and careful in doing things. He is also good at leading troops in battle. He has five thousand tiger cavalry and The elite vanguard composed of Eagle Riders was annihilated by the little emperor's new army, and not a single one of them escaped."
"Even Alibuda died in the battle. This battle was the first disastrous defeat since our Northern Liao army went south."
"No, this is the first time since the founding of the Northern Liao Kingdom that we have lost so many elites. This is a unique defeat."
He continued: "Also, a team of hundreds and a team of thousands encountered the young emperor's new army, and a thousand people were beheaded in one battle."
"ah!"
Ye Luwan raised his head in surprise and said with some surprise: "Is the little emperor's new army really so powerful?"
"These intelligence sources are very reliable and cannot be wrong. I even asked the Full Moon Envoy to confirm it. There is no mistake."
Yelu Wan was dubious, the shock in his heart was like a torrential river, and he continued to read: "The whole army is covered with armor, the military appearance is very grand, everyone is armed with a gun, and they are best at charging into the formation. This dragoon is a bit interesting!"
"It's more than interesting. According to the scouts, our team of ten thousand people was defeated by the little emperor's dragoons." Yelvxiu said.
"How is this possible? Someone in the Gale Army actually dared to confront our Bei Liao cavalry and defeated our Bei Liao cavalry?" Yelu Wan simply couldn't believe it. "Moreover, everyone is covered with armor. How is this possible, let alone a small one?" The emperor’s new army, even the three-town cavalry of the Ye family in Liaodong, we dare not say that everyone is covered with armor, right?”
Yelu Xiu nodded, "The information source is very reliable and it will never be wrong!"
The smell of alcohol on Ye Luwan's body disappeared instantly without a trace. He looked at it carefully and said incredulously: "If this information is really true, then we are really in big trouble when we go south this time. I'm afraid it's a small one." The emperor’s new army will be the most powerful opponent we encounter.”
Yelu Xiu nodded solemnly and said in a rather heavy tone, "Yes, this is why I want to shrink my troops and capture Xuanfu Town first."
"With Xuanfu Town captured, we will no longer have any worries and can deploy our troops to fight to the death with the little emperor's new army!"
"The Dafeng Dynasty is so big that we can't even imagine it. If the people of the Dafeng Dynasty weren't good at fighting among themselves, how could we, the people of Northern Liao, have anything to do with it?"
"This march south is a battle for national destiny. If we win, our Northern Liao Kingdom can swallow thousands of miles of fertile land in the north of the Gale Dynasty, advance towards the capital, and even drink the Yellow River. It is not impossible. But if we lose, the Northern Liao Kingdom will The country will be trapped in internal and external troubles, and without the need for an attack by the Dafeng people, our Northern Liao Kingdom will collapse on its own."
"Therefore, we can only win this battle, not lose!"
Ye Luwan also knew the seriousness of the matter and said in a deep voice: "How many people are there in the new army of Little Emperor Dafeng?"
"It is said to be 100,000, but I estimate that it will not be less than 150,000, and the enemy has mostly elite cavalry. I also heard that the three-town cavalry sent a team of 10,000 people from Liaodong to prepare to support the little emperor. .”
Yelu Wan snorted angrily, "The cavalry of the three towns are nothing to be afraid of. They have been frightened by our cavalry of Bei Liao. They have no courage to compete with our warriors of Bei Liao."
"Yes, there is nothing to fear from the Three Towns Cavalry!" Yeluxiu also nodded in agreement, but he did not take the Three Towns Cavalry seriously.
Then, he raised his head suddenly, straightened his chest, and a strong self-confidence emerged spontaneously, "No matter how powerful the little emperor's new army is, we must go all out, and the battle will be decided, even if we cannot defeat them all." To annihilate the little emperor’s new army, we must also defeat them until they no longer dare to compete with our Northern Liao cavalry!”
"I will never let the little emperor's new army go back alive!"
"That's right!"
Yeluwan gritted his teeth, "It is best to capture the little emperor of the Gale Dynasty alive. As long as we capture the little emperor, the Gale Dynasty will be completely finished. By then, our Northern Liao cavalry will be able to go all the way south, and we will have no rivals!"
"Well said!" Yelvxiu also had this plan, and the two of them coincided with each other.
At this moment, a voice came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, someone from the front has sent a carriage, saying it is a gift from the Zhao family in Xuanfu Town."
"Gift?"
Yelu Xiu was stunned and narrowed his eyes.
Ye Luwan on the side suddenly jumped up, "What a happy event, such a happy event!"
Yeluxiu was puzzled, "Where does joy come from?"
"Second brother, you have forgotten that the Full Moon Envoy has just sneaked into Xuanfu Town. He may have incited the Zhao family to rebel. The Zhao family in Xuanfu Town is about to surrender!"
Hearing this, no matter how calm Yelvxiu was, he couldn't help but stood up excitedly, his voice trembling a little, "Okay, the Full Moon Messenger did a good job, a good job!"
"Presumably the Zhao family thinks they can't hold on any longer. Well, as long as we capture Xuanfu Town, our Northern Liao army will no longer have any worries and will fight to the death with all our strength against the little emperor Dafeng!"
Ye Luwan laughed excitedly, "Think about it, the Zhao family in Xuanfu Town is pretty good. After persisting for so many days, even if they are made of iron, they should collapse."
"Let's go see what gift Mr. Zhao gave me!"
Yelvxiu walked out in high spirits and strode out.
