This expedition was led by Yelu Deguang, and Yelu Lihu also went to the expedition with the army. Of course, Emperor Yelu Abaoji also wanted to take the initiative in person, but he probably had to accumulate a period of time. Yelu Abaoji launched a ruthless army and decided to lead a 250,000 army with Yelu Deguang and his son to support Youzhou, preparing to drown the immortal Duan Zhuangyuan, who should have died, but this army could no longer be drawn from the standing army in Shangjing. Shortly after the founding of the Khitan country, Shangjing needed a strong army to take charge. This time, the emperor Yelu Abaoji was sent in person. However, in order to enhance Deguang's prestige, Yelu Deguang made Yelu Deguang become the commander, and he just gave some advice when Yelu Deguang could not make any ideas.

In addition, if there is a regular army, there must be a prepared army and a large number of servants. Most of the servants in the prefectures and counties near Shangjing have been transferred, and these people have to be recruited from other places, which also requires a preparation time. Therefore, although Yelu Deguang received the seal of the commander and the emperor was preparing to command the imperial army in person, he has been stationed in Fugou Post and has not yet officially set off.

That morning, Yelu Abaoji became very interested and wanted to be the emperor's personal question about the three armies. He did not inform Yelu Deguang in advance, so he led a group of civil and military ministers to Fugou Post.

When the Emperor Taizu of Khitan Yelu Abaoji arrived at the Fugou Post Camp, he saw flags and drums roaring across the sky. Yelu Deguang was practicing soldiers tirelessly on the school ground. Yelu Deguang was originally a horse-bearing person, and he was the best at training troops. When the flag was waved and the cannon was fired, he really seemed to train the three armies.

Yelu Abaoji refused to allow the soldiers guarding the camp to notify Yelu Deguang, and led a group of ministers to the schoolyard quietly. The scene before him was really shocking. Yelu Deguang was good at training troops. These troops were originally drawn from various places and were elite troops. When he got a little point of guidance, he would be a powerful army with a rainbow of momentum.

The three armies moved, and the momentum was like a rush of mountains and rivers. The swords and guns were raised, and the spirit was like the wind and clouds. Yelu Abaoji was not ignorant of the soldiers. He hid in the dark and saw only the formation of martial arts. He felt an invincible spirit, and he couldn't help but be happy. Then he appeared and praised the emperor's second son.

The third brother of the emperor, Yelu Lihu, secretly curled his lips: "You said you wanted to go to the military camp and see, and the soldiers would lead the way. If you said you were not allowed to notify the commander, then the soldiers would not notify them. What kind of military order is like a mountain, and the military discipline is strict? I remember when I led the troops, hum, hum..."

Crown Prince Yelu Bei did not know what was happening in the army. He pretended to look at it for a while, and at first he thought it was quite novel. After a while, he felt that a group of big and thick men were bored dancing guns and sticking there. He still talked about the Spring and Autumn Period with his husband. It was more interesting in ancient times, so he wanted to return to the palace.

When everyone gradually dispersed, the third prince Yelu Lihu stepped forward and said, "The second brother is indeed a good trainer. If my 30,000 tribal troops are brought into the second brother, the combat power will probably increase by more than 30%. "Yelu Deguang laughed and said, "You and my brother, why are you polite!"

"Come on, let's go have a drink!" Yelu Deguang let Yelu Lihu into the tent. The two of them drank for a while. Yelu Lihu said goodbye and left. Yelu Deguang threw a bean into his mouth, chewing it slowly, and laughed. Next to him, a soldier with bright eyes and white teeth blinked his beautiful big eyes and asked curiously: "Why is the second prince laughing?"

This soldier is naturally Yelu Deguang's ritual in the military camp. Judging from her appearance, she was indeed a bit handsome. Yelu Deguang took her into her arms and reached her chest with his big hand.

"Brother also knows that once my 250,000 troops go, the Southern Dynasties will definitely be defeated. They have tried their best to pull me back. However, my father and mother don't like him. Now I have military power. If this battle is successful, the status of a certain family will definitely be enough to endanger my eldest brother's position as the prince. Humph, in time, the throne of the emperor must not be mine." Yelu Deguang turned the head of the beauty, put his mouth on her cherry lips and kissed her hard, and said happily: "But Duan Mingyu is worthy of being the first general in the world. This method of using troops is a wonderful strategy of winning and not losing. How can we do our best to do it step by step with him?

I am afraid that the method of striking my heart is helpless. Haha, I can't let this kind of good intention down. He has put in great painstaking efforts. Humph, Duan Mingyu's plan to attack Youzhou is indeed safe, but what he did not count is the time. Yanjing City is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and there are 100,000 troops to defend the city. With the savings in the city, it is not a problem to defend until the beginning of next spring. Hahaha, according to spies, the Southern Dynasty is not enough to support a long-term war. I think how he survives this severe winter. Duan Mingyu is always on the battlefield, and I also go step by step, without revealing a trace of flaws. Once it is dragged to the snowy sky, the Tang army will be in great trouble..."

Duan Mingyu rode his horse out to patrol the camp, looked back at the flags and the endless camp, and sighed secretly: "It is mid-September now. If you want to siege the city and defeat the main force of the Khitan reinforcements, you must wait for Yelu Abaoji to move south. However, according to the report of the Mass, the Khitan reinforcements' marching speed was not fast. They were steadily and steadily. When they arrived at the city of Yanjing step by step, it would be the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month. All I led were southern troops. If the Khitans could prepare well during this period, they would use the severe cold in the north that the southerners were not used to, and defeat us. Alas, Yanyan, Junyu, Yingying, you must raise Siping and Aman well into adults. Zhaoniang and Mr. Yang Yanguang, take care of us!"

"Reported that the Khitan reinforcements have arrived one hundred miles away from Qi County. The entire army has about hundreds of thousands of people to camp on the spot. The civilians and auxiliary soldiers have a total of about 500,000. The camp is tall and does not seem to be in a hurry to advance."

At this moment, King Zhao Duan Mingyu was on his way back to the camp. Before he could reach the camp, he heard the news. When the generals around him heard the color on their faces. Since they had firmly followed Duan Mingyu to fight for the second Northern Expedition, they had already put life and death aside. However, their faces changed drastically at this moment, not fear, but the number of 500,000 troops was really amazing. Although civilians and auxiliary soldiers generally did not participate in the war, they could also be transformed into a force in special times. In their past years, they had never participated in so many military battles. They were not afraid of life and death, but feared victory or defeat. I heard that there were 500,000 Khitan soldiers and horses, which was simply an invincible behemoth.

The Emperor sent Duan Mingyu a total of 120,000 troops to Duan Mingyu, Fang Wenzhong, Luo Hou and Li Maozhen's three vassal army still had 30,000 troops, and Li Cunxu from Hedong also sent 100,000 troops. When he destroyed the Liang Kingdom, he selected 50,000 troops that could be fought. Although some Yan Han generals led their troops to surrender at the time of Yizhou, Duan Mingyu did not dare to use them. The total number was only 300,000. The daily consumption was a huge number, and there were 500,000 reinforcements from Khitan. Even if the combat power of the civilians could be ignored, there were still 400,000 troops to cut off 100,000. Yelu Feng had 100,000 troops in Yanjing City, but he was not for viewing. This battle was really dangerous.
