Infinite War Begins with Cao Thief

Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty's decision to withdraw his troops completely ruined Jia Xu's strategic plan to annihilate the main force of the Liao army in one fell swoop on the predetermined battlefield, and also frustrated the ambition of Dong Huang and the two emperors to join forces in Datong.

Sometimes, even a top counselor like Jia Xu cannot account for everything, especially the poor performance of the last monarchs.

Who would have thought that an emperor with an army of seven to eight hundred thousand men would be so cowardly?

Seeing the performance of Emperor Liao Tianzuo, and looking at Dong Huang, even Jia Xu could only say: Your Majesty is truly a wise master!

If Jia Xu was given Emperor Tianzuo, Jia Xu felt that he would definitely not be able to help him up.

In fact, Dong Huang and Jia Xu certainly knew that Wang Ping and others could not be blamed for this matter. Although they were suspected of being greedy for credit, it was a great victory after all.

Both sides have always liked to attack the other side's vanguard and dampen the enemy's energy.

However, no one expected that Wang Ping and others' operations would directly kill hundreds of thousands of people in the Liao Kingdom, and no one expected that Emperor Tianzuo of Liao would be so cowardly.

You just left in despair, do you still need the dignity and prestige of the emperor?

Dong Huang was very unhappy.

"Wen He, Yelu Yanxi was afraid of us like tigers and fled in a hurry. There shouldn't be any conspiracy, right? Why not... pursue the victory?"

Dong Huang's eyes were burning.

Chasing death to the north, millions of corpses are buried.

Even in the mission world, Dong Huang still wants to carve stone Yanran and drink horses from Beihai.

This is the romance of men!

"Your Majesty, retreating is more difficult than advancing. As far as I know, the Liao army has between 400,000 and 500,000 infantrymen. With such a large proportion of infantry, can we leave? Huh, can we leave? I am willing to follow your majesty in pursuit. Can we stand? Worldly merit!"

Jia Xu did not pour cold water on Dong Huang, but proposed to take the initiative to attack.

Although Jia Xu is cautious, he is not timid.

At this time, it can be imagined that the morale of the Liao army was low, and they were in the process of retreat. They were already exhausted. If they did not fight, it would be a shame for Emperor Liao Tianzuo's fear of the enemy.

Moreover, there is no suitable ambush location from the area controlled by Dong Huangjun to Yuanyangbo and even further east, so I am afraid.

"Then the whole army will attack?"

Dong Huang was already gearing up.

"It is enough to lead only 200,000 cavalry. General Gao can lead the infantry to support the troops at the Baishui River. A large army can be deployed quickly."

Jia Xu reminded.

"According to what Wenhe said!"

Dong Huang gave Jia Xu a thumbs up.

With Huang Zhong and Xia Houyuan as the vanguard, the army went straight to the location of Emperor Liao Tianzuo under the leadership of their guides.

Huang Zhong and Xia Baihou Yuan's troops caught up with the Liao army's rear troops one hundred and seventy miles away from Yuanyangbo.

This frightened Emperor Tianzuo of Liao.

"Your Majesty, Yu's army is small. We should seize the opportunity to annihilate them first and demoralize the enemy!"

Yelu Yujian suggested again.

"General Yu Jian, how do you want to defeat the enemy? Should Your Majesty stay and lead the army to defeat the enemy personally, or should you lead the army into battle?"

Xiao Fengxian said sadly.

Yelu Yujian did not realize the seriousness of the matter, and argued rationally: "It is naturally best for His Majesty to come forward in person. When His Majesty's flag is raised, the whole army will be inspired, and the enemy's vanguard will be defeated, and even morale will be boosted." It’s not necessarily possible to defeat the enemy’s main force who underestimated the enemy and rushed forward. Once the enemy’s main force is defeated..."

"Humph, that's enough!"

Yelu Yanxi angrily interrupted Yelu Yujian's words: "Since you are so confident, you will lead the troops and stay here, defeat the main force of Dayu, and wait for news about the West Route Army and the East Route Army! I will lead it myself. The main force is moving from central Beijing to the south, and is bound to crush Yuguan and recapture Yanjing!"

Yelu Yanxi's words directly confused Yelu Yu.

From the beginning to the end, he didn't know what was wrong with Yelu Yanxi.

There was one sentence he was holding back in his mouth but did not dare to say: Are you so brave and want to take back Yanjing?

However, Xiao Fengxian couldn't help but take the lead and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Of course Xiao Fengxian knew what Yelu Yanxi was angry about.

Yelu Yanxi was afraid that she would be inexplicably killed by Yelu Yujian in the war. Then Yelu Yujian, who had been in charge of the army for many years, and his consort Xiao Yu cooperated to seize the opportunity to seize power. They first planned to establish the young King of Jin, and finally deposed the King of Jin to establish themselves. .

The rebellious tradition of the Daliao clan and the lack of confidence brought about by successive defeats made Yelu Yanxi finally suspicious of Yelu Yujian under Xiao Fengxian's instigation.

Although Yelu Yanxi also felt that this suspicion was a bit excessive, it was a matter of his own head and he could not tolerate Yelu Yanxi being careless.

Therefore, Yelu Yujian inexplicably became the commander of the rear camp, commanding 150,000 people and responsible for blocking Dong Huang's army.

Also placed in the rear camp were Situ Sihong and other generals who were not favored by Xiao Fengxian.

Yelu, Yu and others were filled with hatred when they saw it.

"For our current plan, we must first defeat the enemy's forward and make the enemy afraid, so that we can retreat calmly!"

Yelu Yujian spoke from a tactical level.

The generals accepted the order with their heads downcast.

When Huang Zhong saw the mighty posture of the Liao army's rear troops, he didn't even think about charging into the formation. After all, the enemy is outnumbered, and his goal is just to monitor the enemy's main force.

However, not long after the enemy's formation was set up, about 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry left the Liao army's formation and ran towards the northwest, shouting as they ran: "The Liao army is defeated! Yelu Yanxi has escaped! Everyone!" Run for your life!" and the like.

The Liao army suddenly became commotion.

"Situ Sihong, this bastard!"

Yeluyu saw that his eyes and eyes were split.

Situ Sihong was his main force on the right. More than 30,000 cavalrymen just ran away? What do you want to do? Aren't you afraid of His Majesty's wrath?

However, what made Yelu Yujian even more angry was that it was not only Situ Sihong's troops who fled, but more Liao troops, especially those commanded by war agents, wavered and fled in all directions.

Some smart war agents have already thought of Situ Sihong's idea: Situ Sihong wanted to take the route of Yelu Dashi in advance and conduct a western expedition.

For war agents, no matter whether this road is feasible or not, at least it is better than staying here and fighting to death, right?

If a man does not serve himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, but no agent of war is willing to die for Emperor Liao Tianzuo, who is even worse than Adou.

Regarding the courage of the generals, it is obvious that Yelu Yanxi's series of saucy operations have completely destroyed the courage of the Liao army.

Now, more people are running away.

Yelu Yujian couldn't control the situation at all.

Although Huang Zhong did not understand the situation clearly, he still felt that the opportunity was not to be missed and decisively ordered to go straight to the center of the Liao army.

Seeing the Yu army galloping forward, the Liao army immediately retreated even more joyfully. Those with horses beat their horses, and those without horses ran wildly, as if they were coming from some savage beast - even though Huang Zhong's troops only had more than 20,000 men.

"Capital, withdraw."

Yelu Yujian's tooth soldiers pulled Yelu Yujian, who looked confused.

"Huh? Withdraw?"

Yelu Yujian was stunned. He looked at the tooth soldiers, at himself, and then at the soldiers fleeing in all directions. He always felt that he was dreaming.

who I am?

where am I?

what happened?

His tooth soldiers didn't care so much. They whipped his horse on the buttocks, and a group of people guarded him and ran wildly.

"Etc., etc!"

Yelu Yujian suddenly realized something.

"Capital, if you don't withdraw, you will die!"

His trusted general Xiao Hanfunu thought he wanted to stay and fight.

"What I mean is that we can't escape in the direction of His Majesty, we have to go to Zhongjing!"

Yelu Yujian controlled the horse.

"Zhongjing? Aren't His Majesty's main forces going to Zhongjing?"

Xiao Hanfunu was puzzled: If I remember correctly, His Majesty seemed to have ordered to prepare to go to Zhongjing?

"Your Majesty will be defeated. We must go to Beijing to collect our troops and assist Your Majesty."

Yelu Yu said righteously, but he was sneering in his heart: With Yelu Yanxi's timidity, after the defeat, he could only hide in Shangjing, which was farther away from Dong Huang's army. How could he go to Zhongjing? In this case, it is better to calm people's hearts in Zhongjing. After all, Yelu Yanxi is already heartbroken. If he is chased to Beijing again by Yu's army...

Everyone's surname is Yelu. In this world, you, Yelu Yanxi, sit here. Why can't I, Yelu Yujian, sit here?

After receiving Huang Zhong's battle report, Dong Huang and Jia Xu were confused.

"This can't be a tactic to lure the enemy, right? It's like those tactics of throwing money, silk and equipment on the ground, waiting for the enemy to come and rob them, and then attack again?"

Dong Huang was willing to believe in the enemy's tricks, but was unwilling to believe that the enemy would collapse without a fight.

"Your Majesty is worrying too much."

Jia Xu's eyes flashed with bright light: "The Liao army must be afraid of your majesty's power and fear your majesty like a tiger, so they collapsed without a fight. Your majesty will pursue the enemy immediately. After catching up with most of the enemy's army, they can divide the army into Ten troops will attack day and night without giving the Liao army a chance to regroup, and they will definitely defeat the Liao army!"

Jia Xu first praised Dong Huang to help his majesty build up his confidence, and then gave him a strategy to defeat the enemy.

In fact, this is just the exhaustion of carrying Dong Huang... In short, if it were not for the consideration of protecting His Majesty's safety, the army would have pushed past.

Two hundred thousand cavalry, even if there are only 70,000 to 80,000 heavy cavalry, piled up are enough to crush this era!

"good!"

Dong Huang nodded: "Ming Dianwei, Xu Chu, Huang Zhong, Le Jin, Tai Shi Ci, Gan Ning, Xia Houyuan, Zhang Ren, Wu Tu Gu, and Pang De to lead the troops to charge according to the prime minister's plan!"

"General Dian and General Xu?"

Jia Xu hesitated.

"I am protected by all the soldiers in the army, so what danger can there be?"

Dong Huang didn't care.

In the past, he would have wished to have Dian Wei, Xu Chu, Zhao Yun, Zhou Tai, Huang Zhong, and Hua Tuo all by his side, but now most of his soldiers have been approved by the Infinite War Space, and there are also Diao Chan and other female generals, and the armies are not far from him. He can still be resurrected after death, so he is afraid of Mao!

[Your Majesty, for the sake of the overall situation, regardless of personal safety, is truly a wise Lord! 】

Jia Xu once again sincerely praised Dong Huang in his heart.

The main force of Dong Huang's army moved quickly and finally caught up with the main force of Emperor Liao Tianzuo in the middle of the night.

Dian Wei and Xu Chu, who finally got the opportunity to stretch their muscles, did not avoid the attack and attacked the camp personally, destroying seven camps in half an hour. The other soldiers also struggled to move forward, and the Liao army, which was low in morale and poorly commanded, found it difficult to resist.

Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo had no intention of personally supervising the battle from beginning to end, but just wanted to escape.

"It is impossible for the Yu people to attack long distances on the prairie. Our advantage in Daliao is the cavalry!"

At the critical moment, Xiao Fengxian made another suggestion.

"Ah this..."

Yelu Yanxi hesitated.

If he abandons the army again, he is afraid that he will be abandoned by the army.

"Yelu Yujian betrayed the Liao Dynasty and led the enemy troops to suddenly arrive. It is a crime other than war, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Fengxian persuaded him again and put the blame on Yelu Yujian's head.

"And His Majesty personally led the army to detour behind the enemy's rear and deliver a fatal blow to the enemy, not to escape!"

Xiao Fengxian once again proposed a clever plan.

"That's what I say!"

Yelu Yanxi nodded.

Yelu Yanxi retreated decisively.

Fully demonstrated the style of Daliao's number one runner.

However, in history, he was more decisive and unbearable than this world. Not only were hundreds of thousands of troops chased by 20,000 to 30,000 Jin troops under absolute superiority, but there were also 20,000 to 30,000 men who were chased by less than 1,000 men. The glorious moment when the remaining soldiers who were surrounded by human beings were defeated.

It can only be said that with such an emperor, the destruction of the Liao Kingdom would not be unjust.

For the rise of the Jin Kingdom in history, Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian were responsible for at least 80% of the credit.

And a performance like tonight's has even surpassed that of Yelu Yanxi in history.

Yelu Yanxi's changes accelerated the collapse of the Liao army.

The abandoned Liao army began to flee and surrender in organized form. The elite who were still holding on saw that the emperor had run away, so why not surrender?

At the end of the night, Dong Huang's army captured more than 200,000 people. There were also a large number of Liao troops scattered on the grassland without knowing where to go, and countless baggage was seized.

"Continue to chase?"

Dong Huang's intention was still unfinished and he said: Since I commanded the army, I have conquered everything in my direction. No enemy dares to fight against me. I am pursuing death and chasing north, heading straight towards Huanglong!

Hey!

"Chase!"

Jia Xu agreed with Dong Huang's opinion.

Today's capture is very rich. Dong Huang's army can use the capture here to replenish supplies, and then the army will continue to pursue.

It is advisable to leave the remaining troops to pursue the poor bandits, and the opportunity to destroy the main force of the Liao army in one fell swoop should not be missed.

Given how weak the Liao Kingdom was, Jia Xu was not afraid of a three-front war.

As a result, Dong Huang's army, which was full of morale, continued to pursue. Those Liao troops who surrendered in the land of Yan and Zhao in the past, and Yan and Zhao Erlang who joined the army, even exploded with astonishing fighting power and fighting will!

Especially those foreign races, they can't wait to capture Emperor Liao Tianzuo immediately and offer them to their great emperor!

In this fanatical state of the whole army, an ordinary Dayu soldier dared to charge against dozens or hundreds of Liao troops. On the other hand, the Liao army was defeated like a mountain, and hundreds of people did not dare to charge. He launched a countercharge against someone, just wanting to catch up with Yelu Yanxi as soon as possible.

As for the armies of those war agents, not to mention, they don't know where they have gone.

Anyway, the grassland is very big. If you find any tribe to annex it, you can live a leisurely life.

To make matters worse for the Liao army, they fled in too hasty a manner and did not bring enough supplies, resulting in even more heavy losses. When they retreated to the vicinity of Shangjing, only about 100,000 cavalry remained, and another 100,000 or so came from nearby areas. King Qin’s tribe.

A battle broke out between the two sides outside the city of Shangjing. However, facing the highly motivated Dong Huang's army, the main force of the Liao army, which had retreated all the way from Yuanyangbo, collapsed at the first touch. Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty saw that the situation was not good and fled early, causing an immediate rout across the board.

Dong Huang's army took advantage of the situation and surrounded Beijing. Ta Buye, who stayed behind in Liao Dynasty, wanted to surrender, but was killed by Han Lu Yanlun. Lu Yanlun then personally opened the city to surrender and directed Dong Huang's army to arrest the clan nobles and harem concubines in the city.

"Yelü Yanxi seems to be heading towards Zhongjing, why not chase her?"

Dong Huang is a bit over the top.

He felt that as long as Yelu Yanxi, the magical emperor who always ran away from battle, was around, he could become a god of war.

“It can soothe people’s hearts at the same time!”

Jia Xu did not refute Dong Huang, but just put forward new opinions.

"That's right. Order Huang Zhong, Xia Houyuan, Pang De, Dong Cheng, and Dong Yue to pursue them with 50,000 troops. The rest will go to Beijing to repair."

"At the same time, I announced my decree. It probably means something like this. Wen He is arranging to polish it up: the Lord of Liao has lost his way, and the gods share the resentment. Since I have defeated the Liao soldiers, those who come from all directions to surrender should be treated with mercy. From now on, all Those who have surrendered, or have been resurrected by the army, and who escape and return shall not be punished..."

Dong Huang also realized that the army was about to reach its limit, and just after arriving in Beijing, there were a large number of surrendered troops and Liao nobles to deal with. It was indeed necessary for the army to be stationed for a period of time. By the way, he would straighten out the relationship between the grassland tribes and regain as much of the grassland as possible. The tribesmen and horses, at worst, will be forced to go to the west!

After all, within the next ten years, Dong Huang may not have enough strength to conquer the west. In this era, the Kingdom of Jin, the Son of Destiny, is not so easy to deal with. The leader of the Liao Kingdom is not good enough, and most of the top officials are not good enough. In the end, the army has no fighting spirit. , but the Kingdom of Jin was in the prosperous entrepreneurial period of a dynasty. From the monarch to the main generals and clans, there were no mediocre people, and they all dared to fight and risk their lives!

The Kingdom of Jin is the real enemy!

In addition, the Song Dynasty is also a problem.

What the Song State feared was the monarch and some civil servants, but unlike the Liao State which was swallowed up by the Jin State in ten years, the middle and lower classes of the Song Dynasty, or the backbone of the Chinese nation, never lacked the courage to defend their country. Even if Dong Huang also launches an attack as a Han dynasty, the Song Dynasty will not lack people who are willing to die for the country.

Even if the Song royal family surrenders, the bottom class may not be willing to surrender.

And even if they surrender, the scholar-bureaucrats who have vested interests may not be willing to cut their flesh to support Dong Huang's military campaign.

Coupled with the trouble caused by those hidden war agents, it is not easy to completely digest the Song Dynasty.

That day and night, Dong Huang stayed in the palace of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty. He was planning to summon several concubines and princesses of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao Dynasty to go straight to Huanglong and enjoy the fun of conquering. Lu Yanlun, who had made great contributions to the city, came to offer advice.

"Your Majesty, although the Liao Kingdom has five capitals, Shangjing is the real capital. There are many nobles in the Liao Kingdom. They should be dealt with as soon as possible to avoid future troubles. Otherwise, once the army leaves or other Liao armies come to attack, there will be chaos! "

Reported by Yanlun Lu.

"did you mean?"

Dong Huang had no intention of letting go of all the Liao nobles, but the Liao Kingdom had not been completely destroyed yet, and Dong Huang was unwilling to create extraneous problems, so Jia Xu issued an order to appease people.

"Your Majesty, the barbarians have human faces and animal hearts. They are not of our kind. If they are strong, they will be bandits, but if they are weak, they will be humble. They have no regard for kindness. Your Majesty is kind by nature. However, the barbarians may not be grateful. You have to make them feel fear in order to achieve long-term peace and stability! I suggest , you don’t need to deal with the family members of the nobles who lead troops outside, and you don’t need to deal with those who surrendered in time and made meritorious service, but the other Khitans will be punished!”

Lu Yanlun said murderously.

"Um?"

Dong Huang glanced at Lu Yanlun and couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

However, after all, Dong Huang had been a monarch for so many years. Lu Yanlun, a subordinate general, had no idea in court, but he came to see him in the middle of the night to come up with this idea. I am afraid his purpose was not that simple.

"I understand, please step back first. Lu Qing has made great contributions to the city and is familiar with Liao affairs, so he can join the cabinet."

Dong Huang waved his hand.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will take my leave!"

Lu Yanlun knelt down and resigned sensibly.

After Lu Yanlun retreated, Dong Huang did not rush to summon the delicious spoils, but instead pulled over Wang Yi. Wang Yi was a smart little guy, and he felt that Wang Yi should be able to provide advice.

Wang Yi heard the string and understood the elegant meaning. He sat in Dong Huang's arms and said angrily: "This guy Lu Yanlun has an impure mind. I'm afraid he wants to take over the power to deal with the Liao people and test your majesty's attitude towards the ministers."

"How to say?"

Dong Huang put his arms around Wang Yi's small waist and gently sniffed her smooth jade back.

What attracted Dong Huang most to Wang Yi was his pure lust amidst his heroic appearance and his smooth and smooth jade back. He liked to hold her from behind the most.

Of course, as the most strategist among Dong Huang's daughters, resourcefulness has always been her plus point.

"Your Majesty, why don't you take a test on Yi An?"

Wang Yi gave up the opportunity to perform to her good apprentice Xu Yian.

The Xu family, whose courtesy name is Yi'an, was a fierce woman known as Wang Yi during the Three Kingdoms period. She was a strategist and good at divination.

Now that Xu Yian has grown up, Wang Yi wishes he could help him.

"profound?"

Dong Huang looked at the girl who was standing aside, a little worried, but more excited.

Xu Yian was wearing a simple and elegant green shirt, her long black hair was tied into a high ponytail, her eyes were clear and moist, her expression was dignified and charming, and her beautiful face had a shy blush, like a delicate flower. magnolia flowers.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty."

Xu Yian's voice was slightly trembling.

Although she was one of the more outstanding ones among the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling presented by Fazheng, she had not been favored by Dong Huang because of her age. Even if she was taken by Wang Yi, she did not have many opportunities to take the initiative to talk to Dong Huang. Talk, so cherish this opportunity very much.

"I guess that the reason why Lu Yanlun came at night is to test whether His Majesty will discuss such a major matter with the courtiers, especially the Prime Minister, so as to test His Majesty's trust and arbitrary level in the Prime Minister, so that he can take sides in the future... …”

After Xu Yian finished speaking, he lowered his head.

"interesting."

Dong Huang nodded.

Instantly, Wang Yi's face turned red.

Dong Huang was indeed full of majesty. Even if he nodded slightly, Wang Yi would tremble with excitement, and his beautiful jade back would suddenly turn red.

Xu Yian, who accidentally caught a glimpse of this scene, couldn't help but smile at Xiafei's cheeks.

Ever since Lu Lingqi came of age, most of the adult girls raised in Dong Huang's palace have had different thoughts, eager to receive gifts from Dong Huang on the day of adult ceremony.

The reason why Wang Yi specifically named Xu Yian this time was because Wang Yi hoped to find someone to help him, but Xu Yian himself did specifically ask Wang Yi for help.

"Literati are always thoughtful!"

Dong Huang nodded fiercely again, and Wang Yi's face turned redder. He leaned on Dong Huang's shoulder and bit a lock of hair.

"His Majesty……"

Wang Yi's voice was trembling.

"Okay, leave him alone, who hasn't thought a little bit? Are you right?"

Dong Huang smiled nonchalantly and looked at Xu Yian: "Yi An has grown up too! Li Qingzhao is known as Yi An, but although her words are beautiful, she is not as beautiful as Yi An. Come, come here. Let me take a good look."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Xu Yian stepped forward excitedly but anxiously, and knelt down obediently under Dong Huang's gaze.

She knew what to do and what was coming next.

Wang Yi quickly gave her the opportunity. Although she couldn't grasp it, she would definitely seize this opportunity.
