Chapter 56 Lure the enemy

An error occurred while processing s private file

"Deputy envoy, is it possible that it is Zhang Guanyu's brave army?" Xiao Long asked.

"Impossible." Zhang Jue said, "I still have some understanding of Zhang Guanyu. This man is very cautious and will not do such meaningless things. If he wants to hijack the baggage, he can rob halfway, and there is no need to capture Yu Pass. Besides, Yu Pass is dangerous, so what will he use to capture Yu Pass? He wants no one, and weapons and no weapons. If he has the strength to attack Yu Pass, he has been hiding in the mountains in the past two years?"

After thinking about it, the three of them still believed that the Yuguan Guard had made a mistake in the code, and then they did not take this matter to heart.

However, that night, Yima Feishu reported urgently that the road in Yuguan was blocked and Yima was cut off, and I don’t know what happened.

The three of them became alert. In the early morning, the scouts reported that Yu Pass was lost and Li Hu's Liaodong rebel army captured the pass.

The three of them were stunned. Could it be that Jinzhou was lost? Laizhou was lost? Linhai prefectures and counties were lost? Yelu Dashi felt it was even more incredible. As soon as I came back from Jinzhou, Li Hu led the Liaodong rebel army to Yuguan?

Yelu Dashi immediately ordered to assemble the army and urgently dispatch the local troops of Zhou and Yingzhou to attack Yuguan immediately.

Originally, he wanted to report to the Nanjing Marshal's Mansion and the palace tent, but Zhang Jue persuaded him to stop. The situation is unclear and it is very strange that Yu Pass suddenly lost. It is still possible to reach Yu Pass. It is not too late to report it after finding out the situation.

Yelu Dashi followed Zhang Jue's advice and led his army to Yuguan overnight. When he arrived at Yuguan, he saw a big rebel flag floating on the city tower. He was really a thief from the Han Dynasty in Liaodong. Yelu Dashi was stunned. The facts were right in front of him, and it was impossible to believe it.

How did this group of rebels run to Yu Pass? Think about it carefully, there is only one possibility, braved the wind and snow, crossed mountains and ridges, and rushed for hundreds of miles, and rushed to Yu Pass with amazing perseverance and courage. After thinking about it this way, things would be easier to explain. In order to conquer Jinzhou, Li Hu decided to attack Yu Pass and cut off the Liao army's food route. The Liao army in Jinzhou had no food and supplies to supplement it, so he had to take the initiative. As long as Xiao Bao left the city, he would definitely fall into a trap, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yelu Dashi immediately ordered to attack Yuguan, and at the same time urgently reported the palace tent, the Nanjing Left-behind Office and the Nanjing Marshal's Mansion.

Xiao Bao was frowning, he was so hard that he didn't want to do this job at all. It would be great to stay in the palace tent, free and easy. There was no need to endure hardships, no need to be afraid, and no need to take any responsibility. Now he was like a sheep being barbecued on a fire, with a large circle of people around him holding a knife, looking at him droolingly, waiting for a good meal.

The emperor's hand edict urged him and felt a headache. Although he would not accept the orders of the outside king, and the emperor was far away, he could do whatever he wanted. But he was the emperor and could not avoid the first day of the lunar month and the fifteenth day of the lunar month. If he didn't listen to him, Yelu Eliye on the east road would not listen. He could still withstand for a while, but if Yelu Eliye could not withstand the attack and led the army to attack, no matter whether he won or lost in the future, he would not be able to take the risk.

Can you attack now? Before leaving the palace tent, the lord and the ministers had a consensus, that is, they could not listen to the emperor's land, and they could not rush to attack. In any case, they had to wait until the Liao and Jin peace was successful. At that time, the Jurchens had to abide by the agreement and would not attack the Liao army again. In this way, the Liao army could wholeheartedly deal with the rebels. Otherwise, the Liao army would be attacked on both sides. It is very likely that they would repeat the mistakes of the Chengzhou War, so they could not take the initiative to attack.

Just when he made up his mind to delay, the letter from Jielu, the Liao army on the east route launched an attack, and the resentful army was fighting in Qianzhou. Li Hu was preparing to cross the Daling River north while the resentful army and escaped back to Zhongjing Road.

This news immediately made Xiao Baoru feel uncomfortable and had a split headache.

The Liao army on the east route had already attacked, and Li Hu was about to escape again at this moment. If Li Hu really escaped, the emperor and the palace tent would definitely push the responsibility for the failure of the encirclement and suppression to themselves. Even if he did not die, he would not want to make a living in the palace tent again.

Xiao Bao summoned the generals of the army to ask everyone for their opinions.

The generals of each army had different opinions, and some were going to launch an attack. The situation was very obvious. The Liao army on the east side launched an attack. The rebels were sure that they were panic and fearless. At this moment, the Liao army immediately formed a front-end attack on the rebels. The rebels were bound to collapse and they were sure to win this battle.

Another part opposed it. How did Xiao Gan lose in the Tribulus Mountain? It was because of his proactive attack, and he was defeated by the traitors. Not only did he lose Tribulus Mountain, but his entire army was wiped out. If we took the initiative to attack and suffered the same failure as Xiao Gan, it would be that we would lose both Jinzhou and the army. If Tribulus Mountain was lost, there were Xingzhong Prefecture and Jinzhou to resist the traitors, but if Jinzhou was lost, the traitors would face Nanjing directly, and the emperor would not cut off all our heads.

Xiao Bao was actually the most afraid of this. If Li Hu escaped, he would lose his official position at most. But if Jinzhou lost it, it would lose his head. The two were incomparable.

Xiao Bao weighed the matter repeatedly and decided to delay. He secretly told Jielu, and you tried to keep in touch with me and tell me all the movements of the rebels. When the time is right, I will attack, and you will turn against each other and give the rebels a fatal blow.

The letter was delivered to Li Hu, leaving him at a loss.

On the third day of the second month, the situation on the Daling River line suddenly deteriorated. Guo Yaoshi led the three battalions of the Hell Army to turn against each other and occupied Yizhou. The old battalions of the Hell Army had just withdrawn, and most of the money and supplies were stolen by Guo Yaoshi. The soldiers of the Qian camp were caught off guard and were defeated by Guo Yaoshi. Bai Zhu and his remaining troops fled to Qianzhou to meet Dong Xiaochou, while Hong Yun and his family who escaped Hell Army rushed south quickly and requested Li Hudi's protection.

On the same day, Yelu Temo, deputy commander of the Liao army's Eastern Road, led an army of 20,000 from the north bank of the Daling River, met with Guo Yaoshi, and surrounded Dong Xiaochou and the five battalions of the resentful army in Qianzhou.

The resentful soldiers in Qianzhou were attacked from both sides, and the soldiers fell into extreme despair.

At this moment, there is only one way to surrender, and ask for help from Li Hu, but will Li Hu lend a helping hand? He sent troops to support and rescued the resentful army. It is clear that the next thing is not to ask. Now the resentful army has lost its strength, and all the money and materials have been stolen by Guo Yaoshi, and a big rich man has turned into a pauper. Li Hu helped the resentful army in crisis. What else can be done except for Li Hu?

What about surrender? The consequences of surrender are unpredictable, but Dong Xiaochou and the generals of each battalion will most likely be unable to save their heads, because Guo Yaoshi will not let them live. If they all survive and the officials will do what they do, will Guo Yaoshi have a life? In addition, the resentful army rebelled again and again, and the Liao people were worried about leaving disasters, and it is very likely that the resentful army's number would be cancelled. In this way, how can the soldiers and their families survive?

The two sides weighed the pros and cons, and it would be better to ask Li Hu for help. It would be better to follow Li Hu, but under the current circumstances, can Li Hu still break through the siege and conquer the world in Liaodong?

"Li Hu will not be defeated, because the Jurchens need him very much now."

Dong Xiaochou revealed the secret of heaven in one sentence. He carefully analyzed the situation in Liaodong. When everyone understood, the Jurchens needed time to grow and grow, and Li Hu could just help them restrain the Liao army and consume the Liao army. In this way, Jinzhou could not stop Li Hu, and in the future, Li Hu would have enough time to attack the territory.

The generals of the resentful army have no objection this time. When the enemy is in front of him, they must bow their heads when it is time to bow their heads. Those who know the current affairs are heroes.

Dong Xiaoqueu urgently wrote to Li Hu and asked him to help.

Li Hu has taken action.

He can deal with three battalions of Guo Yaoshi and the resentful army, but with tens of thousands of Liao troops, the situation will be completely different. If there is a slight mistake, not only will he not be able to rescue the resentful army, but he may even be wiped out by himself.

Mu Taoli commanded the Second Army of Hu Lie, Wu Xiong commanded the Third Army of Hu Lie, Dong Zhongsun commanded the Two Generals of the Heishan Army, and Zhang Gaoer commanded the Two Generals of the King of Heishan Army, and launched an attack on Yizhou at the same time.

Li Hu hurriedly wrote to Dong Xiaochou, I am attacking Yizhou, please give up Qianzhou, lead the army to retreat quickly, and attract the main force of the Liao army to Yizhou, so as to gain time for the Jin army to capture Sichuan.

On the fourth day of the second month, Dong Xiaochou took the initiative to abandon Qianzhou and led his army to retreat. The Liao army commander Yelu Eliye commanded a 50,000 army and then chased after him. The ever-changing changes made him feel dazzled. In a short period of time, the Liao army successively captured Qianzhou and Yizhou, attracting all the rebels to the front line of Yizhou. This is the best opportunity to wipe out the rebels. If you miss this opportunity and let Li Hu escape with the rebels, your guilt would be too great.

At this moment, a urgent letter sent by Chang Laizhou made him decide to attack.

The governor of Laizhou reported urgently that a rebel army emerged from somewhere to capture Yuguan and Runzhou, cutting off the Liao army's food route. Yuguan is easy to defend but difficult to attack, while the Liaoxing army in Pingzhou and the Guide army in Laizhou were both on the Jinzhou front line and may not be able to conquer it in the short term, so he asked Xiao Bao for help, requesting that a main force be allocated to return to the rescue and open up the food route as soon as possible.

Jinzhou has 15 days of food and grass reserves, and the Liao army on the east route has already reached Yizhou, which is only 150 miles away from Jinzhou. If nothing unexpected happens, the two armies will attack each other in front and back, and this rebel will definitely be able to be solved within 15 days, so it is better to attack quickly as the best strategy.
