Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

As soon as Jiang Hongfei's personal expedition arrived at Yunzhong Mansion (formerly Xijing of Liao Dynasty, renamed by Jiang Hongfei), Lin Chong, Yang Zhi, Guan Sheng and Qin Ming excitedly took over Yelu Yanxi's sons, all concubines, all daughters, and all daughter-in-laws , all the royal and clan daughters of the Liao Kingdom, all the royal families and clans of the Liao Kingdom, thousands of horses capable of traveling 350 miles a day, more than 500 bags, which the Liao Empire had accumulated for more than two hundred years. Fine treasures, tens of thousands of felt carts and baggage, more than 20,000 fine horses from the north, as well as the jade seals, golden chariots, royal chariots, legal chariots, ceremonial guards, chariot heads and other things that represent imperial power inherited from the Liao Empire were all presented. Gave it to Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei was very happy, rewarded the meritorious soldiers heavily, and arranged for the Ministry of Rites to resolve marriage matters for the meritorious soldiers of the Fourth Army first.

It is worth mentioning that, at Lin Chong's reminder, Jiang Hongfei learned that Xiao Duolilan, the queen of the Liao Empire, was seriously ill and even dying.

Jiang Hongfei immediately arranged for An Daoquan to treat Xiao Duolilan.

After An Daoquan diagnosed and treated Xiao Duolilan, he said to Jiang Hongfei: "The Empress Liao's illness is not serious. If she wants to recover, there are two ways, slow and fast. I wonder which one the officials will choose?"

Jiang Hongfei asked: "How do you say this?"

An Daoquan said: "This is a slow method. I can take care of her slowly. She should be able to sleep in half a year at most and three months at least."

Jiang Hongfei glanced at An Daoquan, a dirty old pervert, and shook his head, thinking: "This guy... really smells like me."

Jiang Hongfei definitely didn't want to let Xiao Duoli, who didn't have much youth, waste another half a year of his life lazily, so he asked: "What about a faster way?"

An Daoquan smiled ambiguously: "The official will give me a drop of the elixir of Xuna, and I promise that the Queen of Liao will be able to sleep with her tomorrow night."

The queen of the Daliao Empire, and she is legitimate!

How is it possible to say that Jiang Hongfei is not interested in Xiao Duoli's laziness?

As for the old brother who was always by his side, Jiang Hongfei didn't have to hide his preferences. He didn't make any excuses, but happily gave An Daoquan a drop of ginseng blood.

At the same time, Jiang Hongfei asked Xiao Rang to find a more beautiful reward from among the captured Liao women and give it to An Daoquan.

Not only An Daoquan, but also Lin Chong and the four of them, Jiang Hongfei each rewarded two Liao beauties, ten horses, and ten thousand treasures. Their lieutenants Deng Fei, Min Gong, Hao Siwen, and Huang Xin each received a Liao beauty. , five BMWs, five thousand treasures, promotion does not count.

In short, Jiang Hongfei must be very interesting to his old brother.

After receiving the beauty from the Liao Kingdom, An Daoquan naturally worked harder to treat Xiao Duolilan for Jiang Hongfei.

So, the next day Jiang Hongfei walked into Xiao Duolilan and Brother Xiao Gui's room.

Seeing this, Yelu Dalibao, who serves as Jiang Hongfei's personal bodyguard today, has a very complicated mood!

Although Yelu Dalibo was also a princess of the Liao Kingdom, she was given the title of princess after Yelu Chun ascended the throne, so she was somewhat watered-down.

——Actually, Yelv Dalilibo is just a princess of the Daliao Empire, a daughter of a clan. When she sees Xiao Duolilan and Brother Xiao Gui, especially the former, she needs to pay a big courtesy, because Xiao Duolilan and Xiao Gui Your brother, especially the former, is the most noble woman in the Liao Empire.

Now, the two most noble women in the Liao Empire were ruined by Jiang Hongfei.

Hearing the voices of Xiao Duolilan and Brother Xiao Gui begging for mercy from the room, Yelu Duolibo had the urge to rush in and rescue them.

But her father, who was so wise and powerful, was dead, and her stepmother, who was so smart and capable, was defeated by Jiang Hongfei and had to surrender to Jiang Hongfei. Yelu Dashi was so talented and Wu Yanguang was so good at fighting, but he could only surrender to Jiang Hongfei. Now only How could the extremely stupid Yelu Yanxi and the Liao Empire make a comeback? Therefore, there was no hope for the Liao Empire. So what if she saved Xiao Duolilan and Brother Xiao Gui?

Besides, Xiao Duolilan and Brother Xiao Gui are just the beginning. Other royal and clan daughters in the Liao Kingdom will definitely have such moments, just like the royal and clan daughters in the Jin Kingdom, and in Yanyun Except for those who are too old, too young, or have improper looks, all the daughters of the Liao royal family and clans in the Ping area have not been spared. Therefore, even if she can save one or two, it will not matter. No help.

Moreover, according to Yelu Dalib's own experience, it doesn't matter if this kind of thing happened.

If it happens, you will feel at ease.

Before this happened, I had to escape, run, and hide. I was in fear all day long, unwilling to accept the demise of my motherland. I always thought about restoring the country, wandering around, thinking wildly, and worrying about gains and losses.

By the time he was caught and played with, the raw rice had become cooked rice.

After calming down and thinking about it, Jiang Hongfei is young, handsome, strong, and has a good personality. The key is to protect them. If he follows Jiang Hongfei, no one will dare to miss them anymore.

Moreover, they can return to the affluent life where they had enough clothes to put out their hands and food to open their mouths.

In short, as long as you accept all this, everything will get better...

…

Just as Jiang Hongfei was eating batch after batch of Yelu Yanxi's concubines, daughters, daughters of the royal family and clan daughters of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Yanxi led an army of 80,000 people to leave the original southwestern Liaoning to recruit Si Lai Arriving at the Yunzuo area, they stormed the passes of the Yuan Empire from here.

Jiang Hongfei appointed Zhu Wu as the Xuanfu envoy, Hua Rong as the capital commander, Lin Chong as the deputy capital commander, Wang Zhen as the capital supervisor, and Zhao Li as the chief of general staff. He asked the various economic and strategic envoys to send troops to gather in Shuozhou to form A large army under the direct command of Yunzhong Xuanfu Division went to fight the coalition forces led by Yelu Yanxi.

In order to defend against the attacks of Liao, Jin, and Xixia, the Dayuan Empire set up seven institutions in Yundi similar to Jiang Hongfei's previous military division - the Economic Strategy and Appeasement Division (referred to as the "Shuai Division").

Lin Chong, Shi Jin, Tang Bin, Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu, and Sun Li served as economic and strategic pacification envoys and general managers of the Mabu Army.

Yan Shude, Cao Zheng, Yu Cheng, Liu Guang, Xie Zhen, Shan Shiqi, and Wu Song served as deputy envoys for economic strategy and pacification, and deputy general managers of Ma Bujun.

In total, Jiang Hongfei stationed more than 100,000 troops in Yundi.

This time Jiang Hongfei personally led the expedition and brought more than 100,000 imperial guards.

It is not difficult to see from this that although Jiang Hongfei despised Yelu Yanxi strategically, he still attached great importance to Yelu Yanxi tactically.

After the armies were assembled, Zhu Wu and others led seven cavalry armies out of Baidaosan to engage in a tentative battle with the Liao army brought by Yelu Yanxi.

After a few tentative battles between the two sides, Hua Rong, Lin Chong and others were unable to win at all. On the contrary, due to the small number of soldiers and horses on the Dayuan Army's side, the Allied Forces gained some upper hand.

Seeing this, Jiang Hongfei personally went to the battlefield with an army of hundreds of thousands to prepare for a decisive battle with Yelu Yanxi.

Zhu Wu and others had already chosen the location for the decisive battle and had already surveyed the terrain.

This location is the Qingshui River.

Therefore, after Jiang Hongfei led his army to leave Yundi, they arrived at the Qingshui River, descended on the village gate, and set up an offensive and defensive formation - the Crane Wing Formation.

The Yuan army was generally arranged like this: infantry in the middle and cavalry on the two wings.

The overall strategic thinking of the Dayuan Army was that Jiang Hongfei personally led the Chinese army in the middle of the formation, attracting the main attack of the coalition forces, gradually retreating, luring the enemy deep, and then closing the pocket through the centripetal attack of the cavalry on both wings, giving the enemy a decisive blow from the side. of blow.

To be honest, Jiang Hongfei had to take some risks in fighting this battle.

Therefore, many people did not agree with such a fight because they were worried about Jiang Hongfei's safety. Some people wanted Zhu Wu and others to replace Jiang Hongfei in the central army.

Later, Jiang Hongfei decided to fight like this despite all opinions.

Jiang Hongfei said to everyone: "If I am not close to the Chinese army, Tian Zuo may not send the main force to attack. Only if I am in the Chinese army and use provocative methods to induce him to come to the decisive battle, this battle will be the best since the founding of the Yuan Dynasty." In the first battle, we must win a great victory to shock the barbarians on the grassland so that they will not dare to invade. As for my safety, I believe that you and others will be able to defeat the mob that Tian Zuo has cobbled together. "

Jiang Hongfei believed in Dayuan's soldiers and was willing to take part in the situation, which boosted the morale of Dayuan's soldiers and sharpened their swords, waiting for the coalition forces to come for the decisive battle.

Someone may ask, will Yelu Yanxi come to the decisive battle obediently?

certainly!

First of all, Jiang Hongfei robbed Yelu Yanxi of all his concubines, children, many clans, and all their wealth. It can be said that he took away everything from him. In this case, Jiang Hongfei prepared a decisive battle with Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Yan If Jubilee does not come, then Yelu Yanxi's reputation will not only be discredited, but also be looked down upon, and there will be no chance for him to turn around.

More importantly, if Yelu Yanxi did not come to the decisive battle, Jiang Hongfei could continue to send a large army to defend the dangerous pass.

At that time, Yelu Yanxi, who wanted revenge and avenge his shame, would be the most uncomfortable person.

In other words, coming out for the decisive battle was Jiang Hongfei's gift to Yelu Yanxi. If Yelu Yanxi didn't continue obediently, Jiang Hongfei might not give him this opportunity in the future.

Some people may say that what the enemy opposes is what we support, so why doesn't Jiang Hongfei continue to lead the army to defend the dangerous pass?

Because Jiang Hongfei also wanted to solve the problem of Yelu Yanxi in one fell swoop.

It was also because Jiang Hongfei wanted to go south to compete in the Central Plains, so it was best to eliminate the trouble of Yelu Yanxi and establish his authority on the grassland, so that the countries and forces in the north would not dare to restrain his energy.

…

Soon, Yelu Yanxi also led 70,000 to 80,000 allied troops to the Qingshui River and confronted the Yuan army across the river.

The coalition's formation showed a large "∧" shape, which was the famous attack formation - the cone formation.

Most of this formation concentrates its powerful troops at the top and two wings. The farther to the center and back, the more empty and weak it becomes.

Therefore, someone suggested to Jiang Hongfei that when the war started, a partial division could be sent behind the coalition forces to attack, which would give the coalition forces a thousand-year kill, and it might be possible to defeat the coalition forces in one fell swoop.

This is a good idea, but the wings of the coalition's cone-shaped formation are very long, and this area is a vast plain. It is almost impossible to get behind the coalition forces and launch an attack under the surveillance of tens or two hundred thousand eyes. possible.

In the same way, the coalition forces are unlikely to use any conspiracy under the surveillance of the 230,000 eyes of the Yuan Army.

Therefore, this battle must be an upright decisive battle.

Naturally, such a large-scale decisive battle cannot be commanded by one or two people. It requires a huge command team, otherwise chaos will occur.

In order to avoid accidents and to solve the problem once and for all, Jiang Hongfei transferred all the military advisors such as Xu Guanzhong and Yue Fei and other commanders who were good at fighting to assist in the command, and divided the entire army into four parts.

The former army was commanded by Xu Guanzhong, with Yan Shusen, Cao Zheng, and Han Shizhong assisting in command.

The central army (including the rear army) was commanded by Zhu Wu, with Hua Rong, Wang Zhen, Zhao Li, Yan Xiaoguang, Yu Cheng, and Liu Guang assisting in command.

The third part, the Left Army, was led by Chen Tao, with Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Qin Ming, and Yang Zhi assisting in the command.

The fourth part, the right army, is led by Chen Xizhen, assisted by Liu Qi, Guan Sheng, Sun Li, and Dian.

Jiang Hongfei, Liu Huiniang, Wu Yong, Wen Huanzhang, Mrs. Jia, Xu Qingniang, Wang Gongren, Wu Jie, Wang Yan and Li Yanxian served as the general commanders.

After Liu Huiniang climbed up to the flying tower and observed the coalition forces with a telescope, she said to Jiang Hongfei: "The centipede insect is dead but not stiff. The coalition's combat power is still good, especially the 30,000 Xia troops, who must be elite!"

This is actually reasonable. If the coalition forces did not have strong field combat capabilities, they would not dare to fight, let alone adopt the cone formation to dominate the battle.

Wu Jie added: "The coalition also sent a team of elite cavalry to patrol along the river bank. This should be to prevent our army from sending a partial division to cross the river secretly and go around to the back to attack the coalition forces. There should be people who know the military command on the other side."

Li Yanxian said: "This shows that he is afraid that our army will go behind and attack him. Your Majesty, please give me a horse army. I will set off immediately and make a roundabout way back to the rear to help your Majesty win this battle."

Jiang Hongfei thought for a moment and said, "Just take Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing."

After Li Yanxian accepted the order, he immediately took Yang Zaixing and Luo Yanqing to assemble the army and set off.

Zhu Wu continued the previous topic and said: "The depth of this river is more than ten feet, and the shallowness is about a foot. As soon as the coalition troops arrived at the river, they occupied all the shallow areas and sent rangers to cross the river from those places. A fortress was built on the river bank, and they must have taken the initiative to attack. "

Yelu Dashi said: "Prairie people always take the initiative to attack and rarely defend."

Liu Huiniang smiled slightly: "He likes to attack, so let him attack."

The Dayuan Army is still dominated by infantry, so defensive counterattack is also a good choice.

After the two sides set up their formations, they began to conduct tentative attacks.

During this process, the layout of both parties was basically completely formed...

…

coalition forces.

After seeing the layout of the Yuan army and the probing attack, Xixia general Li Liangfu couldn't help but said: "It's as fast as the wind, as slow as the forest, as invading as fire, as motionless as a mountain, as unpredictable as the underworld, and as moving as thunder. No wonder they Can defeat the golden man.”

Yelu Yanxi, a bull-headed man, pretended to be dissatisfied and said: "The Han people are weak and are only good at taking advantage of dangers. Now it is my plan to fight our army decisively in this land of flat rivers. Is there any reason to win?"

In fact, the reason why Yelu Yanxi dared to fight Jiang Hongfei was entirely because he could still run away if he couldn't defeat him.

——As an escape expert, Yelu Yanxi is confident that no matter how bad the situation is, he can leave the battlefield safely.

Of course, when Yelu Yanxi came to Jiang Hongfei for a decisive battle, Jiang Hongfei went too far. He completely cheated on him and took away all his remaining belongings. It was really unbearable!

Li Liangfu actually agreed with what Yelu Yanxi said. The ratio of cavalry to infantry is at least one to three, and it may even reach one to five or one to ten, especially on this plain.

Therefore, in terms of military strength, there is no reason why the coalition of water cavalry cannot defeat the Dayuan Army without the protection of natural barriers, the Great Wall, and passes.

At least that's what Li Liangfu thinks.

Li Liangfu reminded Yelu Yanxi: "I hope your Majesty will be true to his word and never forget the territory he promised to our country."

Yelu Yanxi said unequivocally: "Don't worry, I keep my word. As long as I win this battle or capture Jiang Yan and let me out of this endless bad breath, the land of the Eight Halls will belong to your Xia Kingdom!"

The location of this battle was the Qingshui River, which was neither adjacent to Shuozhou nor the Tiande Army. The baggage of both sides had to be transported from the rear.

The consumption of more than 100,000 soldiers by horse chewing was very huge. Jiang Jing and Zhao Ding, who were temporarily appointed as transfer envoys, organized 100,000 civilians (most of whom were reservists) to transport grain, grass and baggage, so that they could temporarily ensure the consumption of these 100,000 soldiers.

As for Yelu Yanxi, the situation was slightly better because most of them were nomads, but hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep for military supplies also arrived.

Therefore, neither party can last long.

Therefore, after the temptation, both sides are looking for an opportunity for a decisive battle...
