Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Under the winter sun, the cold wind swept through. On the vast land, the phalanxes moved forward slowly. Although they were very slow, they gradually devoured the distance between the two sides like huge monsters.

When Xiao Siwen looked back, the cavalry of the Liao army in the rear were closing their tents and pulling out their camps to retreat. The former army was also about to ride away on horseback, and everyone in the king's tent agreed to retreat to avoid a decisive battle with the Zhou army's infantry.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a large herd of left-wing (east) horses rushing towards this side from a distance! Yelvjing ordered the left cavalry to fight back.

As time went by, the Zhou army hadn't advanced forward yet, and the left-wing cavalry had already fought one after another. People and horses were rushing back and forth in the distance, and the reflection of sharp weapons was dotted in the sea of ​​people.

The sky and the earth are so vast that the shouts from afar seem to come from the ethereal.

The Liao army got on their horses and withdrew from the battlefield one after another, walking a little farther, and the cavalry of the Zhou army did not rush in. The army retreated northwest to the camp north of Zhuozhou and withdrew from the battlefield, and the confrontation between the two armies ended.

Xiao Siwen and the Liao people all believed that the main force of the Zhou army's infantry would rush to Zhuozhou nearby. The strength of the Zhou army in Zhuozhou City will exceed 100,000! A larger North-South confrontation is about to take shape.

The generals followed Emperor Daliao to the camp of the Chinese army in the north... a village where all the people had been captured, and everyone was ashamed. Neither side hurt the main force in this battle, but the Liao army was obviously very frustrated!

In the afternoon, Yeluxiu and Yelu Xiezhen also returned to Zhuozhou camp with their elite soldiers. The strength of the Liao army regrouped and strengthened.

However, the battle in Zhuozhou was still impossible to fight. More than 100,000 Zhou troops are riding in Zhuozhou, and there are cities and fortification barriers. It is impossible for the Liao army to defeat the Zhou army here... Even if they can, they can't sacrifice their lives like this!

Brother Yeluxiu said: "Send your troops to the west and besiege Jinzhou!"

But Yelu Xiezhen objected: "Daliao is already behind at this time, and there is not enough food and fodder. It is better to withdraw to Youzhou first, and then make a fuss."

Many people supported Yelu Xiezhen's idea of ​​retreating first and then retreating. It is really useless to fight this kind of battle, and you can't get anything! The attitude of many nobles and tribal leaders is becoming more and more negative.

Xiao Siwen kept silent and did not support any party, even though he had a better relationship with Yelu Xiezhen.

If you support Yelu Xiezhen's idea of ​​withdrawing first, then the southward march of the Daliao army can basically be declared over... Just look at the attitudes of the Khitan generals around you, and you will understand that once you return to Youzhou, it will be difficult to inspire everyone to start a new battle.

However, Brother Yeluxiu advocated rushing to Jinzhou immediately, and the eastward movement of the front line required more supplies and food, and morale was also insufficient. Xiao Siwen also wondered whether it would be effective after going east?

The controversy only lasted until the next day. Due to the attitude of the majority, Yelvjing decided to temporarily withdraw from Youzhou.

As Xiao Siwen expected, as soon as the ministries returned to Youzhou, some people began to write letters to the main force in the north to withdraw its troops from Youzhou.

...

When Dong Zunhui came to Bazhou Palace, as soon as he entered the lobby, he saw a group of civil and military personnel on both sides, and the whole room was full of people, including Wei Renpu and other senior officials. Everyone looked sideways with appreciative smiles on their faces.

"General Dong is the champion of the three armies, he is truly an outstanding man!" Wei Renpu said loudly.

Finally it's my turn! Dong Zunhui was very enjoying the glory that everyone was looking at at this time. In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the supremacy of force has not changed! As long as people who have won the prestige for the country, they will be treated like this!

This is the center of the army, but Dong Zunhui believes that his brilliance and reputation will soon spread throughout Tokyo.

"General Dong, please come inside, the officials have been waiting for you for a long time." The eunuch Wang Zhong beside the emperor bowed with a smile on his face.

Dong Zunhui clasped his fists in response, and walked inside with big strides.

After entering the inner house and passing through the quaint long corridor, the sunlight shone in from between the pillars and sprinkled on Dong Zunhui's face, making him a little intoxicated. The warmth on his face made him feel that spring had come early!

The palace and inner house are very quiet, every pore of Dong Zunhui's body is full of comfort, indescribably comfortable.

Walking into a wooden door, Dong Zunhui first saw a tall and strong figure from the back. Guo Shao was wearing a purple round-neck robe, with a golden hairpin stuck in a bun on his head. He was standing by the wall with his hands behind his back, looking up at the hanging map.

Dong Zunhui walked in and knelt down on one knee. The heavy armor on his body made a clanging and powerful sound. He commanded the army and said loudly: "The last general was ordered to attack the Liao Army's food road in the north. He lived up to His Majesty's high expectations. He wiped out the Liao army's large teams at Lulong Road and Beikou Road respectively, and returned to return!"

Guo Shao turned around, looked at Dong Zunhui with a smile on his face, and said, "Come here, help General Dong get up and help him remove his armor." Guo Shao said kindly again, "You came to see me wearing such thick armor, how can you accompany me for dinner?"

Dong Zunhui quickly stood up by himself.

Guo Shaodao: "The troops on the front line in Hebei are exhausted, so it is not appropriate to hold a big banquet to celebrate your victory. I will invite General Dong to drink alone first, and when the troops return to the court, we will have a banquet in the Jinxiang Palace to celebrate General Dong."

Dong Zunhui was in a daze, and clasped his fists and said, "First in the hall, Vice Envoy Wei also praised the junior general. But the junior general felt that he couldn't bear such a great honor... It was all the Liao army's supply and grain team, and his guards were almost powerless against the Zhou Jingqi. Let's cut melons and vegetables, burn|kill them, and go around Youzhou. It doesn't seem like a big war..."

Guo Shao shook his head with a smile: "General Dong has done this well and played an important role in this battle, not how many gains can be compared."

Dong Zunhui hurriedly said humbly: "Your Majesty, please help me explain my doubts."

Guo Shao turned his head and glanced at the map, and said slowly: "The Liao army has more than 100,000 troops, not all of them are elite, and the combat power of each department has different levels. The Liao people wanted to fight halfway, so they divided their troops into two places; General Dong caused heavy losses to the rear of the Liao army, which affected a large number of elite soldiers of the Liao army.

Otherwise, how dare Li Chuyun easily dispatch troops to attack from the north?

Li Chuyun attacked the northern line of Zhuozhou, where there were a large number of infantry and siege troops of the Liao army, the Liao people must divide their troops to rescue! "

Guo Shao flicked his sleeves, and said calmly: "At this time, the main force of the Great Zhou Dynasty is cavalry, or going to Zhuozhou, or fighting back with momentum, isn't it up to us?"

Dong Zunhui hurriedly said: "Your Majesty has strategized, wise and powerful."

Guo Shao smiled, and his expression relaxed a lot. "After this battle, where the Liao people want to fight, we still have to look at our faces. Losing soldiers and generals is not a bargain. If we continue to stay in Zhuozhou, we will not be afraid; the Liao people have to figure out whether they are hungry or not."

Dong Zunhui couldn't help laughing.

Guo Shaodao: "Now that the morale of the Liao army is low and retreating to Youzhou, I will see again, what will they do?"

At this moment, Wang Zhong stepped forward and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the servant sent the cook to cook some dishes for the sheep that General Dong sent. Those sheep were snatched by General Dong from the Liao people."

Guo Shao raised his head and laughed loudly: "Very good, mutton should taste good with wine."\u003c
