Chapter 93: Crazy Counterattack

Zhuozhou, the general's mansion, Wu Ji, and Wang Shaozheng were drinking with the generals.

Since entering Zhuozhou and recovering Zhuozhou City in one fell swoop, the crowd has been busy, one is to safeguard the people, and the other is to prepare for the upcoming war. For this reason, they have no time to celebrate. They have been busy until now, and they have some time.

The New Year is a wonderful beginning, not to mention that it has won such a big victory. It is appropriate to sit together, eat meat and drink, and celebrate well. When we get together, the joy of the generals is hard to describe. When we drink it, the wine is gone, and happiness is hard to describe.

Not to mention the generals, even Wu Ji, the initiator, was very happy, eating large pieces of meat and drinking large bowls of wine, making it feel refreshed.

"Is it delicious?" Wang Shao sipped the wine in the glass happily, looked at the generals with a smile, and had already had an answer, but he asked knowingly.

"Haha!" The generals burst out with cheerful laughter and said, "Is there any better wine than this?"

"This is Zhuozhou wine. How many people can drink such a good wine?" Zhou Wei smiled so hard that he couldn't close his mouth and his eyes narrowed together.

The wine they drank was ordinary wine from Zhuozhou, which was not considered high-quality. However, they were drinking the fine wine from Zhuozhou in Zhuozhou, and this mood was enough for them to be happy.

"Since the Northern Expedition of Emperor Taizong's official family, no army has appeared in Zhuozhou in the Song Dynasty, and there has never been a good wine in Zhuozhou like us. This wine is more delicious than nectar and jade liquid in his mouth!" The Korean side kept shaking his neck and sighed with emotion.

"Haha!" This sentence fell into the hearts of the generals, and the generals burst into laughter, and everyone was so happy that they could not speak.

"Very good!" Wang Shao smiled on his face and glanced at the generals and said, "Before entering the army, I summoned you to Xiongzhou. I said I wanted to invite you to a banquet. You rushed over excitedly, but I didn't expect that there was no good wine at all. All of them were the cold wind and the snow of Yanyun. At that time, many of you were dissatisfied and muttering. Now, I invite you to drink and have a good time!"

When Wang Shao recalled that he deceived them and asked them to go to Xiongzhou for a banquet, they were all happy. He thought that after winning so many battles, the Song Dynasty was proud. Wang Shao's banquet must be full of delicious food. He didn't expect it to be that way at all. Wang Shao was lying to them and asking them to attack Zhuozhou.

At that time, they were both excited and incredible, and they couldn't help but mutter.

At this time, when the old story was brought up again, the generals couldn't help but feel a little funny, and there was another burst of laughter.

"Wang Shumi, what's going on in Liao Gou?"

"Has Yelu Hongji been pissed to death?"

"Has Yelu Hongji received our gift?"

They all knew about Wu Ji sending a New Year gift to Yelu Hongji. It can be imagined that after Yelu Hongji received the "gift", he must be very angry. Anyone who is in that situation will be so angry that he vomits blood.

"Yeah!" Wang Shao almost laughed out loud, and held back, saying, "Let Commander Wu tell me about this. Brother Wu, did you come up with this idea, or you say it, you say it." He looked like a joke. If it weren't for the hard work, he would have laughed to the sky.

When the generals saw Wang Shao's appearance, they guessed that Yelu Hongji must have been very angry. They were all curious, stretched their necks long, looked at Wu Ji, and waited for him to explain.

"You said you would piss off Yelu Hongji to death, so you were so angry that he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood." Wu Jiyun said calmly and briefly about the situation he found.

"Hey! Why didn't you make him angry to death?"

"How great it would be torment him to death!"

The generals were very sorry and shook their heads.

Yelu Hongji was very angry, but he was not angry to death, which is really a pity. If Yelu Hongji was angry to death, they could recover Yan Yun without fighting.

"Wang Shumi, let's march quickly and attack Youzhou." Zhou Wei was anxious and put the wine glass heavily, and the wine splashed everywhere, saying, "Yelu Hongji's aura is so good. Liaogou must be in a mess. We will attack Youzhou in one go and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun in one fell swoop!"

"Yes! Enter Youzhou and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun!" The generals pleaded in unison.

Wang Shao and Wu Ji looked at each other and shook their heads slightly. They had long thought of this situation, and this was a rash move. Wang Shao waved his right hand to stop the generals from speaking, and said, "Let the commander Wu Du talk about this."

Although Wu Ji is currently the official position of the commander-in-chief, he is assisting Wang Shao in handling military affairs, which is equivalent to Wang Shao's staff officer. When encountering these matters, Wu Ji will naturally deal with them.

"Your idea is very good. At first, Wang Shumi and I thought so too. Later, after we thought deeply, we decided not to do this." Wu Ji waved his right hand lightly to stop the generals from speaking, and then said, "It's our reason to do this. Have you ever thought about it? If we fight from Zhuozhou to Youzhou, how can we transport the food and grass?"

The importance of food and grass to an army is not to be mentioned. If the Song army immediately attacks Youzhou, it will need to be transported from Zhuozhou, which requires a large number of civil servants. Where will the civil servants come from? They must be recruited from near Zhuozhou. Although the people of Yanyun are very welcome to the arrival of the Song army, the Song Dynasty had not ruled here for more than a hundred years, and it was difficult to summon many civil servants in a short period of time.

Furthermore, even if the Song army overcomes these difficulties and transports grain from Zhuozhou, it will facilitate the attack of the Liao army. If there are many cavalrymen in the Liao Kingdom, if they take surprise attacks, it is their director, and the Song army will have a very difficult time to deal with it.

This makes it difficult for the Song army to deal with it. Although there is a way to deal with it, the difficulties will definitely increase a lot. As is now, there is no need to take any risks when the arrival of the Liao army in Zhuozhou and other places.

If the Liao army set out from Youzhou and came to Zhuozhou, they would have logistical pressure and might have used it for the Song army.

"Commander Wu, what you said is reasonable. But how can you not be dangerous in war?" Although Zhou Wei agreed with Wu Ji's statement, he was not convinced.

He was right. The battlefield is dangerous, so how can there be a war without risk? Which war does not transport food? This risk is inevitable.

"Yes!" the generals agreed in unison.

"Also, after we conquered Zhuozhou, people were trapped and horses were exhausted. You must know that you marched in the snow for four or five days, and many people suffered and suffered from frostbite." Wu Ji continued to analyze and said, "It is not our best to fight in the snow, but this is beneficial to Liaodo. If we spend a few more days to arrive in Youzhou, it will inevitably be scarce. This is extremely unfavorable to us, and it is exactly what Liaodo is most willing to see."

The Song people were not cold-resistant and paid a lot of money from Xiongzhou to Zhuozhou. Many soldiers were frostbite. If they marched in the snow for a while, more frostbite would be frostbite.

This reason is reasonable, but it cannot convince the generals and stand up in unison: "We are willing to fight Liao Gou to the death!"

The current situation is the best since the founding of the Song Dynasty. The morale of the generals is very high and they don’t care about the ice and snow.

The generals were all holding their heads high and their chests, looking generously at death. Wang Shao and Wu Ji looked at each other, nodded slightly, and Wang Shao waved his hand and said, "Sit down. In fact, what Commander Wu said just now is a verbal statement, not a real concern. This concern was originally not something you wanted to know. But now it seems that it is impossible not to let you know. Well, just say you know it."

"Real concern?" The generals were confused.

"My commander and I have the real worries of the commander of Wu are not in the north, not in Youzhou, but in Shanzhou." Wang Shao sighed and said, "When the north starts fighting, Xixia will inevitably send troops. No one can tell whether Shanzhou can withstand it. Many of you are from Shanzhou, so you naturally understand the situation in Shanzhou. The terrain is complicated, the transportation is inconvenient, and the army is difficult to coordinate, which is beneficial to Xixia and the Song Dynasty. Even if we set up a trap in Shanzhou, we may not win. If Shanzhou is defeated, we will have to withdraw our troops even if we fight well. Therefore, instead of withdrawing troops in Youzhou, it is better to retreat from Zhuozhou. Retreat a few hundred miles less than a few hundred miles more."

Most of the generals here knew the situation in Shanzhou, and when they heard this, they were speechless.

"Ah!" the generals sighed in unison.

"Will Yelu Hongji come?" the generals asked in unison.

"I will definitely come! Otherwise, Commander Wu will not send a gift. If I was wrong, Yelu Hongji was already vowing!" Wang Shao narrowed his eyes and shot wildly.

In the south of Youzhou City, Baoguang Temple, Yelu Hongji was vowing to surrender here.

Teams of Liao troops were lined up horizontally and lined up vertically, with neat formations and murderous auras, like tigers going down the mountain.

More than 100,000 troops gathered here, and a large area covered with darkness, covering an area of ​​more than ten miles.

Yelu Hongji came with a tall horse surrounded by his ministers. Yelu Hongji's face was tense, and his eyes were shining with a terrifying light. He glanced at the Liao army, and was still very satisfied with the Liao army's high momentum. He slapped the horse's back, stepped on the horse's hooves, came to the front of the formation, and shouted: "The warriors of the Great Liao Dynasty: I am guilty!"

"Ah!" A scream was like thunder, and the sky and the earth were trembling.

The emperor will not be guilty, and he will not admit even if there is a huge sin. Yelu Hongji is better. He will be shocked when he opens his mouth and say that he is guilty.

"Push up!" Yelu Hongji waved his hand, and the skin army pushed the vehicle over, took out a lot of heads from it, and placed it on the ground. Yelu Hongji pointed at the heads and said, "These are the warriors of the Great Liao! The hateful southerners attacked Zhuozhou, conquered Zhuozhou, and killed tens of thousands of warriors of the Great Liao! What's even more hateful is that the southerners gave the heads of the Great Liao warriors to me as a New Year's gift!"

"Ah!" Amid a surprise, the Liao army all looked angry.

Wu Ji is provoking the dignity of the Liao Kingdom and their dignity. How can he not be angry?

"Since the founding of the Great Liao Dynasty, it has never been such an insult. This is my sin!" Yelu Hongji was not angry, did not scold anyone, took all the blame on himself, and spoke loudly, saying, "I swear here. If I can't make such a humiliation, I will be a warrior of the Great Liao Dynasty! I will suffer on my behalf!"

He pulled out the scimitar suddenly, his wrist flashed, and a strand of hair was cut off and threw it on the ground.

"emperor!"

The soldiers of the three armies were moved and knelt down in unison and started to cry.

"Catch Wu Ji alive!" Yelu Hongji raised the scimitar in his hand and roared loudly. The name Wu Ji was a nightmare for Yelu Hongji. As soon as he mentioned it, he bit his steel teeth.

"Catch Wu Ji alive!" A shocking roar rang out.

"Rumor!" Under the leadership of Yelu Hongji, more than 100,000 Liao troops embarked on the journey southward.
