    Chapter 61 Looking North (1) The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder.  Hundreds of cavalry were surrounded by Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Liao Army, who was leading the way.  Behind them, there were countless black flags rolling, and endless cavalry and infantry followed.  The main force of the Liao army finally drove out of Yanjing City. ?????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????? our ours¡¯ their lives, in addition to the Khitan Xi people¡¯s headquarters, there are also elite Liao soldiers and generals named Pishi, as well as tribal armies, Han armies, and Bohai Navy.  Daliao's final strength was all under his command.  There are a total of 40,000 infantry and cavalry, and the military resources have been put together with all efforts, and they can last for more than a month. With just this, the city of Yanjing has been completely emptied.  Every Liao soldier had a grave expression on his face, and the sound of golden drums made him even more solemn.  Everyone understands that this battle is already about to take advantage of the city. If it is defeated, Daliao still has a glimmer of hope.  If it fails, then this once powerful empire will collapse!  Countless people¡¯s eyes were just following Xiao Qian¡¯s figure walking in front.  His tall and thin body stood erect on the horse.  The last time they went on an expedition, they were also mourning soldiers, but all the twins of Liao Dynasty were in the army.  Things have changed this time. Although Dashi Linya met everyone before the expedition, Xiao Qian could only be seen among the army.  No one understands what happened between King Xiao and Dashi Linya, and what they agreed upon.  Although Lin Ya seemed willing to stay in Yanjing City, the absence of this wise and brave Lin Ya in the army gave everyone an ominous feeling in their hearts.  King Xiao is the last person everyone relies on, but will this King Xiao really fight to the end for Daliao?  At the front of the team, countless riders were just running back and forth, constantly bringing over the military situation in front and the situation of the Song army.  "Your Majesty, the land where the camp is scheduled to be set up has been surveyed, and hundreds of barriers have been set up to protect it. The materials have also been prepared, and the camp can be set up as soon as the army arrives!" "Your Majesty, the people of Song Dynasty still have no  The signs of crossing the river to the north, judging from the Song sentry flag, are still from the front army, and there is no sign of the main force of the Chinese army arriving! " Upon hearing the report, Xiao Qian just smiled: "The main force of the Song people arrived so slowly!  The front army came so fast again!" A Xiren general beside him said rashly: "Your Majesty, why don't we set up camp first and cross the river to defeat the Song people's front army? We might as well stay south of the Gaoliang River.  Set up camp! After defeating the Song people, fight them in Gaoliang Henan!" Xiao Qian glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's a shame that you can imagine that the Song people are in full swing.  Let's give them a break. When the weather gets colder, the cold will kill the people in the south. We only have this last bit of strength in our hands, so we can't waste it. Who dares to talk about a decisive battle without being completely sure?" "Xiao Qian looked relaxed.  However, he gently rejected his subordinates' request for war, which made the subordinates feel a little downcast.  The army does not have much military resources, so it is advantageous to fight quickly. Wouldn't it be good to charge and kill them before the Song army arrives?  Looking at the expressions of the people around him, Xiao Qian said with a smile: "This front army of the Song Dynasty is all cavalry. It is probably the same army and horse we met at the foot of Yizhou City! How can such an opponent be an easy person? Marching and fighting.  , Isn't it stupid to only choose to fight hard? Besides, they are cavalry. If they are in trouble, they will just turn around and leave. It is rare for us to win completely, so we might as well wait for the main force of the Song Dynasty to arrive!  For selfish reasons, it is better to lead the Chinese army with Liu Yanqing. When the time comes, defeating this defeated general is the best way to really dampen the spirit of the Song people! Is this the real way to fight quickly?  , are you afraid of confronting Liu Yanqing?" "Xiao Qian's words, all the generals under his command, regardless of the ridicule of Khitan, were convinced, and they just responded loudly: "Your Majesty, how can we be afraid of this idiot Liu Yanqing?"  A decisive battle with him! If he wants to fight us in a deep ditch, we will cross the river to find him, flatten his camp, and drive him away!" Xiao Qian smiled and said nothing.  His heart is certainly not as upright as his words.  Daliao is already in ruins.  Even if he defeats this group, this Daliao has no power to recover.  He understood this truth, and so did Yelu Dashi in Yanjing City.  He and Yelu Dashi were both waiting, waiting for the dying God-sent Emperor to take his last breath.  When the Northern Liao court lost its last bit of cohesion and appeal, Yelu Dashi would go north to defect to Yelu Yanxi, and Xiao Qian had 40,000 troops. The world was so big, where could he not go?  At this time, it is the most unwise thing to easily consume the strength of your own men.  Let¡¯s hold on and see!  I have more than a month's worth of military supplies, and the changes in Yanland will definitely come to an end within a month!  While I was silently thinking, I saw another group of people blocking the way.The sentinel came flying over.  But they came from the west.  Everyone is busy with their travels, and it seems that they have been working around the clock to get here.  The guard at the front stopped him and asked for a few words, then he stood back and led the team over.  Xiao Qian's heart moved and he just reined in his horse and waited.  I saw the leader of the Yuanlanzi team galloping towards me. Before he was far away, he got off his horse and walked a few steps forward to salute: "Report to your Majesty, we are leading the sentinel team from the Yuanbaizi team to the west and north of Yanjing.  The day before yesterday, I found that the Song Army's light cavalry, about 200, had crossed the Wenyu River north. I don't know whether they wanted to outflank our retreat or where they were going. We just stopped at a distance. Please tell me how to deal with it, King Xiao. " Everyone is like this!  Surprised, the Song army actually sent a troop of soldiers and horses to take a long detour to the northwest of Yanjing?  Everyone is already familiar with the Song Army's combat style, which ensured support and supplies from the rear and advanced slowly and cautiously.  Such large-scale detours have never been seen before by the Song Army.  In this era, this kind of large-scale roundabout maneuver combat is actually the most difficult.  Whether it was logistics supply or communication, it was an arduous task for the Song Dynasty army, which was mainly composed of farming people and was born with a lack of horses.  Now the people of Song Dynasty actually separated an army and marched so far!  But the scale is not large, with only about 200 riders. No matter what we do, it is not enough.  At most it serves as a warning, but what are they warning about?  The generals under his command all looked at Xiao Qian's face, and some of them were already eager to challenge him.  Faced with the front army of the Song people, Xiao Qian did not allow them to cross south to challenge them. These two hundred mounted Song people were hanging alone behind the enemy's rear. They were a group of men and horses that could be easily eaten. It would be better to use them to sacrifice the flag first!  Xiao Qian had a solemn look on his face. He pondered for a long time before waving his hand and giving the order: "Deploy an extra team of distant defenders and keep a close eye on them! Without a certain general's order, no one is allowed to challenge them to fight! Just watch how they act!" "  Your Majesty!" Suddenly some people couldn't hold themselves back and asked for orders.  Xiao Qian, however, looked resolute and just pointed to the south: "There is nothing to worry about this Song people, just watch it! Our focus is still on the Gaoliang River! Send the order to the general, and the army will speed up the action. Today, the general will  The camp is set up, waiting for the Song army to arrive! We are waiting for the final battle with the Song people! " "Ms. Liu, Zhuozhou is ahead!" Chuan Qifei came to Liu Yanqing's seat.  The Huanqing Army and the Shengjie Army stood side by side heading north. They set out from Xiongzhou and crossed the Baigou River north only one or two days later than the time Xiao Yan left the Gaoliang River.  The officials in Bianliang were concerned about the war ahead, and were so excited about the turn of events brought by Xiao Yan.  Also because of Zhuo Yi's miraculous feat, the forces in the DPRK and China experienced changes in growth and decline.  I don't know how many people still rely on this war to stabilize their status, seek more benefits, or silently wait for changes.  The winners in this war, such as Tong Guan and Cai You, reversed their negativity that day and put all their efforts into urging the entire army to set off!  The daredevils recruited from Hebei were all added to the Huanqing Army, completing Liu Yanqing's troops.  Tong Guan issued orders one after another, only urging Liu Yanqing to go north quickly.  Cai You and Tong Guan even pressured several transshipment envoys in Hebei Province to deliver countless materials and weapons at low prices, and even rewarded them with large sums of money, but they only paid them back.  No matter how depressed Liu Yanqing was, he could only fight back at this time, rectify the Huanqing Army and the Shengjie Army under his control as quickly as possible, and march northward with the sacrificial flag.  The Song army brigade is not comparable to the Liao people.  Groups of infantry seemed to fill the sight.  The Song army had many flags, golden drums, many vehicles, and many baggage, but the roads were paved and they were noisy but moving forward.  After all, they were heading north instead of retreating south, and this time they were determined to avenge their humiliation. The morale of the Song army was also extremely high, and the sound of trumpets was heard from the ground to the sky.  "We are going to the north this time. Even if we die, we won't go back to the other side of the river!" "After conquering the Liao Kingdom, plus the reward of flattening the south of the Yangtze River, if we can still survive, we will finally have a share of the property, and we can return to Shaanxi.  With more than ten acres of land by the river, I might be able to die on my bed in this life!" "We're here in Zhuozhou! I don't know if I can go into the city and sleep on a roof, these days.  The bones are creaking in the wilderness! If you can rest in Zhuozhou and fight with the Liao people in Gaoliang River, you can be more energetic!" Liu Yanqing's army was only surrounded by large groups of horses and chariots.  Liu Yanqing did not ride a horse, but sat in a huge carriage.  The carriage was drawn by sixteen strong horses, and there was a verandah in front of the carriage.  He can stand on it and enjoy the scenery and the military situation.  This veteran of the Western Army had been fighting for half his life. At this time, he no longer suffered much. Among the Chinese army, he only used dozens of utensils to load dozens of vehicles. He just accompanied him and moved forward slowly.  The rider in front of him drove straight in front of his car. Liu Yanqing got out of the car and stood on the veranda in a brocade robe.After getting on and off the car, more than a dozen of his confidant generals stood guard and asked with a smile: "Is Xiao Xuanzan in Zhuozhou?"  The road camp was also set up north of Liupin Mountain. There were only a few people left behind in Zhuozhou. Xiao Xuanzan ordered his subordinates to inform Liu Xianggong that Gaoliang Henan was under his control and the army could move forward without any worries. He was waiting at the Gaoliang River.  Liu Xianggong!" Liu Yanqing smiled and waved to let Chuan ride away. He turned around and gave the order: "If the army doesn't enter Zhuozhou, go ahead! Commander Xuan is urging us hard. We can't say it will be harder. When we get to Gaoliang Henan, we will go ahead.  Let's get down to the camp and repair Xiao Yan is so excited that he arrived at the Gaoliang River so quickly!" The general next to him smiled with envy and jealousy, and just shouted: "Why did Commander Xuan make such a great achievement?  Promise it to him? Sir, our troops are far more powerful than this guy named Xiao, so we can't take away this achievement?" Liu Yanqing glared at the nonsense general with a smile and waved his hand: "Where are you?  I know! This Xiao Xuanzan helped Xuan Shuai a lot! It¡¯s because of him that I¡¯m here today It¡¯s just that he¡¯s too hot-tempered, which may not be a good thing Since he works so hard, we  Let¡¯s just watch first. Anyway, the Song Dynasty has a lot of food, grass and military resources. It¡¯s okay for us to live in Gaoliang Henan for half a year. Let¡¯s see what Xiao Yan can do If he can take full credit, someone will just  Hand over. If Xiao Xuanzan unfortunately loses his temper" The general's eyes lit up: "My lord, what do you mean" Liu Yanqing laughed: "I didn't say anything!  , wait and see what happens! Laozhong and the others are not necessarily inactive, and the Liao people are not going to be captured. I just want to see if Xiao Xuanzan can fight this battle!  If you make a mistake, Commander-in-Chief Xuan may not change your mind! As long as we control the whole army and act with caution Do you understand?" Liu Yanqing's voice sounded loudly as he got off the bus.  Smiling, he turned back to the car.  Countless knights immediately rushed out of the central army and spread orders: "If you don't enter Zhuozhou, the entire army will continue northward and meet with Xiao Xuanzan's front army at the Gaoliang River!"
