Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Among the armies sent out by Dong Huang, Zhang Liao's group naturally had the heaviest task.

Zhang Liao, who was good at running, and the white-haired military advisor Guo Jia led their troops to rush all the way. Most of the many counties that did not react on the road were easily captured, and the few who held on were abandoned by Zhang Liao.

Zhang Liao had only one goal, to seize Yuguan before the Liao army could react.

By then, Yuguan and Juyongguan are in hand, enough to lock the throat of Youyan. Even if the Liao army comes in large numbers, they can rely on the danger of the mountain and river passes to concentrate their forces on Dong Huang's army to eliminate the threat from the south and buy time.

Today, the biggest problem for Dong Huang's army is not the number of elite soldiers, but the problem that there are too many soldiers and they cannot be fed by Youyan Land alone.

After all, in addition to Dong Huang's 300,000 elite troops, Dong Huang also had thirty-six caves of barbarians and soldiers who were captured and surrendered along the way to support. With so many people, he would have to at least conquer the entire Hebei area or receive a large amount of blood transfusions from the Song Dynasty. .

Because the Liao army was completely unprepared and the main force was not present, Zhang Liao's army progressed very smoothly. It was not until Jixian that the army encountered decent resistance.

The guard general of Jixian County was Yelu Dezhong, but he was transferred to Zhuozhou by Wu Yanguang and died. Now the masters of Jixian County are his two sons, Yelu Guobao and Yelu Zhenbao.

The two brothers had been warned by Yelu Chun who had fled here, and they had long wanted to fight. However, they did not expect Zhang Liao to come in such a hurry.

Let's fight when they come. The two brothers were so confident in their abilities that they led the troops into battle regardless of Yelu Chun's objections.

As for why the two brothers were so fierce that they didn't even listen to the words of Nanjing Stay and King Wei, the reason is also very simple. Yelu Chun was really in a panic. When he fled here, only his brother-in-law Xiao Dili was left to protect him. , and because he escaped on horseback with his buttocks naked, his buttocks were worn out, and now he could only lie on the bed with his buttocks sticking out.

Who can look down on this embarrassing appearance of losing a master and humiliating the country!

"In Xiao Dili, Brother Yelu Guobao will be defeated if he underestimates the enemy. Calculating the time, Zhuozhou Wu Yanguang should have been defeated. We must leave quickly to find your Majesty and tell him the situation here! Quick, help me mount my horse!"

Yelu Chun ordered.

"King Wei, you..."

Xiao Dili looked at the butt that only his sister had seen before, feeling distressed and confused.

He felt distressed because it hurt just looking at him, and confused because he didn't know what to do next.

He didn't think much about it when he ran away with Yelu Chun, but after calming down, he suddenly realized that not only his family, but also his sister was still in Nanjing!

I don’t know what they are going through now!

Xiao Dili wanted to die.

Xiao Dili tremblingly helped Yelu Chun mount his horse.

He is still convinced and even admires Yelv Chun. If the development of history is followed, soon, due to the continuous defeat of Emperor Liao Tianzuo against the Jin Dynasty, he will join his nephew Xiao Yanliu and others to plot to establish Yelv Chun. For the emperor. Then he was betrayed by Yelu Chun.

Xiao Dili carefully placed two layers of silk on the horse's back, and then helped Yelu Chun onto the horse.

Yelu Chun was also a man. Even though he was sweating in pain, he remained silent.

However, just as the two climbed on the horse, there was suddenly an earth-shattering cheer outside the city. The horse was frightened and kicked up, and unexpectedly flipped Yelu Chun down again.

"King Wei!"

Xiao Dili had no choice but to dismount and come over to help Yelu Chun.

After finally helping Yelu Chun, who was shivering in pain, to his horse again, he heard someone shouting again: The enemy has entered the city.

Yelu Chun, who was mentally prepared, let out a long sigh and ran away.

Xiao Dili had no choice but to follow.

The two fled towards Pingzhou. After passing Pingzhou and exiting Yuguan, they were safe.

The two of them hurriedly arrived at Luanzhou and were shocked to see Zhang Jue, the deputy envoy of Liao Xing Army Jiedu who was guarding Pingzhou.

"King Wei, what is this?"

Zhang Jue welcomed the two of them into the mansion, called for a doctor to give them medicine, and asked anxiously.

"It should be Dong Huang, the king of Qi in the Song Dynasty, who led his army to sneak attack from the sea and captured the city of Nanjing. He had captured the city of Jizhou not long ago and is now rushing to Pingzhou. Please ask Zhang Jiedu to make preparations quickly! "

By now, Yelu Chun had basically figured out who was occupying Nanjing City. It was obvious that Dong Huang's army marched from Shandong to Bazhou to the north, which was just a cover to attack from the east and divert the tiger away from the mountain.

But even if you knew it, it was already too late.

All Yelu Chun could do was to quickly plead guilty to Emperor Liao Tianzuo, hoping that Emperor Liao Tianzuo could retake Nanjing Road.

"In addition, please ask Zhang Jiedushi to prepare new horses and dry food for us. We must go to His Majesty in person to apologize!"

Yelu Chun put forward his request.

He no longer cared about recovering from his injuries, he just wanted to get out of seclusion and plead guilty.

But his words were automatically translated into Zhang Jue's ears: The enemy is too scary, I just want to run for my life!

"I'll arrange it right away!"

Zhang Jue walked out calmly, but then ordered his close followers to guard the two of them, and then summoned his close followers and said: "You and I were originally Han people. After Shi Jingtang ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun, we had no choice but to survive under the influence of foreigners." , now that the imperial army has arrived, it is a great time for us to surrender!"

Zhang Jue is a very smart man. In fact, he has no national tendency, but he is more of a speculator. He knows very well who Yelu Chun is. Now that even Yelu Chun is in such a mess, and there will be more in the future. If there are pursuers, that probably means not only that Nanjing City has been lost, but also that Nanjing Road's two to three hundred thousand mobile force has been wiped out.

And the army that can do this, no matter which side it belongs to, is a new thick thigh.

Zhang Jue's decisiveness did not resonate with his subordinates.

Zhang Jue's close friends are not all Han, there are also many Xi people and Khitan people, and more of them don't know who they are at all.

We have lived in the Liao Kingdom for so long. Although culturally speaking, people recognize the language, writing, art, and enjoyment of the Han people, but they do not agree with the cowardly Song Dynasty.

Most of the current military disciples of the Liao Kingdom had participated in the battle that caused Song Taizong's donkey cart to drift. In the battles between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Kingdom, they had always won more and lost less. This also led to them all being hostile to the cowardly people. The Song Dynasty scoffed.

Are you asking us to vote for the Song Dynasty today?

Believe it or not, we gave your head away?

A group of people looked at Zhang Jue as if they were looking at a fool. If Zhang Jue's family had not been operating in Pingzhou for hundreds of years and had many branches and soldiers, some people would have been tempted to take action.

However, when they saw Zhang Liaojun's well-organized and well-armored forwards soon after, they immediately felt that Zhang Jiedushi was really far-sighted and a guiding light for us!

The generals happily followed Zhang Jue and presented Yelu Chun and Xiao Dili with blooming buttocks to surrender to Zhang Liao.

Zhang Jue even proposed to Zhang Liao the strategy of using him as the vanguard to defraud Luanzhou, Yingzhou and Yuguan.

Zhang Liao naturally followed the good deeds.

Therefore, with the help of Zhang Jue, the Liao land south of Yuguan fell into Dong Huang's hands.

Zhang Jue (? - 1123), whose first name was Zhang Jue, was from Yifeng, Pingzhou (now Luan County, Hebei). Historical figures of the Liao and Jin Dynasties. In his early years, he passed the Jinshi examination and served as an official in Liao Dynasty. He was appointed deputy envoy of Liao Xingjun Jiedu. When the Jin army attacked Liao Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan surrendered and became the military envoy of Linhai and Zhipingzhou. Wan Yanmin, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, regarded Pingzhou as Nanjing and thought that Nanjing would be left behind. Secretly contacted Wang Anzhong, the Yanshan Xuanfu envoy of the Northern Song Dynasty, returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, paid homage to the Taining Army Jiedushi, and killed Zuo Qigong and Yu Zhongwen. In the fifth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty (1123), he was successively attacked by the Jin soldiers of Wanyan Yanmu and Wanyan Zongwang. He was defeated and fled to Yanshan Mansion, where he was eventually killed by Wang Anzhong.

Yelu Guozhen is an imaginary character in "Water Margin". He is the son of Yelu Dezhong. He has good military value, but seems to lack actual combat experience; he fought Dong Ping in Tanzhou and fought more than fifty rounds with no outcome. Yelu Guozhen's younger brother Yelu Guobao was afraid that his brother would make a mistake, so he beat the gong to ring the gold and retreated his troops; Yelu Guozhen was actually about the same strength as Dong Ping, but when he heard the sound of the gold, he was distracted and thought there was something wrong in the rear, and Dong Ping took the opportunity to stab him to death.
