Chapter forty-eight

September 26th, late at night.

Under the hazy moonlight, troops were running at high speed on the rugged mountain road.

Mao Jun and Hou Guai walked together, talking and laughing. The two of them lurked in Cailiang Mountain with their army. After the Wuding Army in Fengshengzhou entered the Datong Prefecture from the northeast, they were immediately discovered by the rebel scouts. The two immediately planned to ambush the Liao army in the Great Wall section near Macheng. Li Hu agreed, but in order to cooperate with the Xijing War, Li Hu asked the two to move the ambush position backward and not to act too rush, so as not to scare the main force of the Liao army away.

In the night, several scouts rushed over and reported the military information urgently. The Liao army set up camp in Wenguang Pond, northwest of Changqing City.

Mao Jun turned around and waved to his entourages. The entourages immediately surrounded them in the middle. Some took out the map and spread it on the ground, and some lit a torch.

Changqing City is northeast of Datong, with the two places being 130 to 40 miles apart. The north of Changqing City is Yunmen Mountain, Cailiang Mountain to the west, and Liuling Mountain to the south, thus forming two basins in the north and south. Wenguang Pond is located in the southern basin, and the current location of the rebel army is in the hilly area between Cailiang Mountain and Liuling Mountain, about fifty miles away from Wenguang Pond.

"The Liao army was slower than we expected." Mao Jun pondered for a long time, turned his head and looked at Hou Ju, "Supervisor Yun, we must speed up our speed. We must surround the Liao army before dawn and launch an attack."

Hou Jia smiled and nodded, and said to Mao Jun: "I am very happy to listen to your command. He has always had a bad impression of Hou Jia. He thinks that Feng Juanyun is a fence-bearing grass, and that he is a mother with milk. He despised his character very much, so when he was in western Liaoning, the two had almost no relationship. This time when they arrived in the battlefield in Xijing, the two lurked in Cailiang Mountain with their army, together every day. Mao Jun gradually became familiar with Hou Jia and his impression of him changed. He felt that he was a person who could take it and let it go.

He is very broad-minded, has a long-term vision, and has extraordinary insights. The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that he is good at hiding himself. You can't figure out what he is thinking in his heart. He doesn't know what his emotions are. Mao Jun himself is also such a person. The two people have similar personalities, so many times it is easy for the two to communicate. They can understand the other person's meaning with one look or a sentence, but their subordinates have to think with their brains and have to guess carefully to understand Shangguan's meaning.

Li Hu did not know whether it was negligence or other reasons, but he did not specify who would command the battle. However, the Hu Lie Army was the main force of the rebel army, and the Mao army was the commander of the Hu Lie Army, so of course the battlefield commander. Li Hu might not think that it was necessary to make a special designation at all. However, Hou Jiao was too famous in Liaodong. He was also a veteran of the Hu Liechuan Alliance. He had a deep qualification in the rebel army. He could command the battle according to reason. It was precisely for this reason that Mao Jun was always worried that Hou Jiao would disobey at the critical moment, so he held him by his side and discussed everything, so as not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. However, at dawn, once the battle began, it was important that who was the supreme commander. Sometimes it was necessary to make a quick decision and discuss it and delayed time. Fortunately, Hou Jiao had the temperament and could take the overall situation into consideration. Before the battle began, he clearly stated that he would obey Mao's orders, which made Mao Jun secretly relieved.

"Are all the Liao army concentrated in Wenguang Pond?" Hou Jiao asked the scout, "Since entering Xijing Road, the Wuding Army has been divided into two armies in front and back. It has been keeping a distance. Now they are about to arrive in Xijing, so they will definitely be more cautious. Are you sure there is no Liao army in Changqing City?"

Several scouts spoke in unanimously and unanimously determined that all the Wuding Army were in Wenguang Pond. The Liao army was obviously worried that the closer they were to Xijing, the slower they were to go, and gathered the entire army together to prevent accidents.

"So, more than 10,000 people in the Wuding Army were in Wenguang Pond." Mao Jun said excitedly. "We have thirteen generals, nearly 30,000. If we can surround them successfully, we will definitely win this battle."

"We must be fast. We must be fast. We must not hesitate at all." Hou Kuai said. "The Liao army has limited troops. The closer we are to Xijing, the more careful they are. Within ten miles of Wenguang Pond, it is estimated that there are Liao army scouts. Whether we can complete the encirclement smoothly depends on whether the legs are fast enough."

After thinking a little, Mao's army pointed to Wenguangbei on the map and said, "Supervisor Yun, you will lead Feiyun Army to the northeast of Wenguangbei. Cut off the retreat route of the Liao army. Gaoyuan will lead the fourth army of Huli, Chu Xiaoyao will lead the fifth army of Huli, and carry out the encirclement from the southwest and southeast directions of Wenguangbei. Mu Taoli will lead the first army of Huli, and launch an attack from the northwest direction of Wenguangbei. Stop the Liao army from breaking through the Yunmen Mountain direction. Prevent them from crossing the Great Wall and joining the main force of the Liao army."

Hou Gu agreed to the deployment of Mao's military and local governments. After the two discussed some details, the Mao army immediately ordered that the troops march quickly under the guidance of the guide. Be sure to arrive at the predetermined attack position before dawn.

Mao Jun sent someone to sue Li Hu again.

Li Hu was in Cailiang Mountain. Two days ago, Li Hu used two nights to secretly withdraw the main force of the rebel army into Cailiang Mountain. Under the city of Xijing, there were only Yunshuo Army in Yingqin and more than 100,000 Yunshuomin. Today, during the day, Yingqin led the army and more than 100,000 people to pretend to be the main force of the rebel army. He pretended to be panic and went south in a panic and headed straight for Shuozhou.

"The Chief Commander wants to lure the main force of the Liao army into the Great Wall and then launch the Xijing War." Mao's army watched the messenger disappear into the night, and a hint of panic suddenly flashed through his heart. "He hid our army in Cailiang Mountain with the goal of a surprise victory. If we can't fight quickly after surrounding the Liao army, and the main force of the Liao army goes south quickly from the Great Wall, the Xijing War breaks out immediately, that situation..."

"Since the general general agrees to us to fight, he is naturally very sure of the battle in Xijing." Hou Guai understood the meaning of the Mao army, and knew that the Mao army was worried that the encirclement and annihilation would be delayed by the Liao army, which would lead to insufficient troops on the battlefield of Xijing, which directly affected the victory or defeat of the Xijing war, so he hurriedly comforted, "You have followed the general general general general general to conquer the world since the mountain city. Have you ever seen the general general defeat the war?"

Mao Jun smiled and didn't say anything. It was because Li Hu had never lost a war that he felt uneasy. This time, he was different from the past. In the past, he fought in a familiar place, and this time he fought in a completely unfamiliar place. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy could he be defeated in a hundred battles. But this time, the rebel army was not familiar with the terrain and unfamiliar with the opponent. What's even more terrifying is that he has not yet figured out the strength of the Liao army. Li Hu was fighting purely based on his intuition. This was too dangerous, at least in his opinion. Although the soldiers of the rebel army respected Li Hu like a god, and although many generals highly praised Li Hu's military genius, the facts were facts. It was too rash to fight rashly with the unfamiliar opponent in the strange Xijing.

Monk Xiao suddenly woke up from his sleep. The big tent was very quiet, with candlelight swaying, but when you listen carefully, you could vaguely hear a dense sound of horse hooves flying from far to near.

The monk slave sat upright and tried his best to wake him up. This time he was ordered to rescue Xijing, and his opponent was Li Hu, which made him feel very afraid. He was very careful along the way. He didn't dare to lie down at night when he was sleeping. He was always lying at his desk and ready to fight in armor. He also repeatedly warned his subordinates that if he wanted to return to Fengshengzhou alive, the only way was to be full of energy every day, be highly vigilant, and even sleep with his eyes open.

Li Hu has become a terrifying nightmare for the Khitans, especially in the Pingzhou Battle. Under the encirclement of more than 200,000 Liao army, he miraculously wiped out Yelu Gao and his 30,000 palace tents, and he did not leave any survivors, building 30,000 Khitan corpses into Jingguan to boast about his achievements. If Li Hu went from Longhua to Jinzhou, it was all due to the help of the Jurchens, then the Pingzhou Battle was the masterpiece of Li Hu and the rebel army. The destruction of the 30,000 palace tents gave the Liao army a heavy blow. Later, the Emperor of the Great Liao had to change his strategy and urged him with all his strength, and never dared to fight again. He had no confidence and courage to fight. Including Yelu Chun and the ministers of the war-oriented faction, they all lost the courage to fight again.

Monk Xiao was on the battlefield in Zhongjing. After Yelu Yuji defected to the Jin Dynasty, the Emperor of Daliao appointed him as the general of the Jinwu Guard and was transferred to Fengshengzhou as the governor. This promotion and title were somewhat affected by Yelu Yuji's light. What made him particularly happy was that he finally left the front line of the Liao and Jin war and left a dangerous place that might cause his death. However, before he was happy, Li Hu led his army to Xijing Road. After receiving the news, his first feeling was that Yanjing could not be saved, and the Emperor of Daliao was going to lead the Khitans to the desert to survive.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the monk slave's heart was beating more and more violently, and his mind became clearer and clearer.

Suddenly, he jumped up, rushed to the side of the tent in three or two steps, and put on his armor in a hurry. His hands began to tremble, and his breathing became more and more rapid. He seemed to hear fear from the sound of horse hooves, felt danger, and even smelled strong blood.

The sound of horse hooves came straight to the tent, and as the war horses neighed, the sound of hooves suddenly dissipated, and then a man rolled and crawled in.

"Empress, the Tiger King is here, the army of Tiger King is here..."
