"Things in Cangzhou won't change in a short time. If Yeluji wants to go south, he has to go around Cangzhou. Our scouts are far away, and the Khitan people are watching us right under our noses, trying to go around.
Cangzhou can do it too. Moreover, even if he goes around Cangzhou, he will be more worried about us being behind him."
Liu Ling smiled and said: "The Khitan people already have headaches, so I plan to make their heads hurt even more."
Liu Ling pointed to a position on the map and said: "When it comes to using troops, Yelu is very different."
The location he was referring to was Zhaozhou.
At this time, in Zhaozhou, in addition to Liu Ling's general Hu Tinghou Liu Mao, there is also the rising star general of Liao Kingdom, Li Yao Nayan. Although Zhaozhou has not lost, the situation is completely opposite to that of Cangzhou.
. Although it seemed that the Khitans were attacking and defending the Han side in Cangzhou, it was actually the Khitans who suffered the loss. Yeluji was now riding a tiger, unable to move forward, and was extremely uncomfortable.
The situation in Zhaozhou is very worrying. Liu Mao is indeed a good defensive talent, but if the offensive side uses absolutely strong pressure to make him breathless, Liu Mao will always make mistakes no matter how solid his defense is.
At that time, Zhaozhou had actually been captured twice by the city gate so far. If it weren't for the several continuous fire ballistas set up behind the city gate just in case, the Khitans who rushed into the gate would have been killed again.
If he pressed back, Zhaozhou would have already lost twice.
In other words, without the repeated fire ballista that Liu Ling had stolen, Liu Mao would not have been able to block Liyao Nayan's attack. As the most defensive general of the Han Dynasty, he still had tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, but he could not block it.
The Khitan people's offensive shows how strong the young man named Liyao Nayan is in attacking.
"So, His Highness the King of Han is going to Zhaozhou?"
Luo Xu asked.
Liu Ling nodded and said: "Yeluji is not your opponent, even if there is a wily Han Zhigu on his side, he is not your opponent."
Luo Xu frowned and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Han's words make me very uneasy. Can you leave me a helper?"
He smiled bitterly and said: "His Royal Highness the King of Han said that Yeluji is not my opponent and Han Zhigu is not my opponent. In fact, he wants to take away General Zhu Sanqi, right? Moreover, if His Highness the King of Han leaves Cangzhou, Commander Zhao will also
He will definitely follow. As for General Zhuo, I’m afraid he will also leave. Isn’t it a bit too much for His Highness the King of Han to leave Cangzhou to me..."
"Too unjust?"
Liu Ling asked with a smile.
"I have no intention of evacuating Cangzhou and taking it away together. I'm leaving Zhao Ba, Zhuo Qingzhan, and Helian Tieshu's 5,000 massacres behind. As for the other troops, I'll only take the Shura camp with me. Cangzhou is now
There are hundreds of thousands of troops, all left to you, this is a big gift package."
Luo Xu asked: "His Royal Highness, the King of Han, are you not afraid that I will run away with these hundreds of thousands of troops?"
Liu Ling thought about it seriously and said, "It's not necessary to be afraid, but it's inevitable to worry."
He didn't say any pretentious lies: "I don't trust you, just like you don't trust me. If I have any more reliable way, I won't hand over hundreds of thousands of troops to you, I'm still afraid
You have no problem sending the tens of thousands of elite Han troops I left behind to fight to the death with the Khitans. In fact, I would rather take you with me."
Luo Xu hummed and said, "And I will definitely not follow His Highness to leave Cangzhou."
Liu Ling said with a smile: "So, I have to leave you behind to waste time with Yeluji. And I must defeat Li Yao Nayan as quickly as possible and rush back. After you defeat the hundreds of thousands of coalition troops in Cangzhou,
Come back before it becomes your private property, Luo Xu."
"You obviously don't believe anyone, so why do you have to be so honest?"
Luo Xu smiled distressedly: "I clearly know that since His Highness the King of Han has made such a decision, he must have some back-up plan to guard me, but why can't I find a reason to refuse?"
Liu Ling said seriously: "Because of temptation."
He looked outside and said: "If you can defend Cangzhou, you might even make Yeluji suffer a lot by surprise. At this juncture, it is always easy for people to trust a person, especially when this person leads everyone to beat up the foreign enemies."
After screaming, if you can get the support of these hundreds of thousands of coalition troops, then these green forest heroes from the three mountains and five mountains can become your private soldiers. What a temptation this is, with both fame and fortune, if you still
If you are not a saint, you will definitely not refuse."
He spread his hands and said, "Of course, if you were a saint, you wouldn't refuse."
Luo Xu said: "But Your Highness should also know that on the battlefield, people are always prone to acting on impulse."
Liu Ling nodded and said: "So, he will take Zhu Sanqi's people with him, but this does not mean that I will take them with him. Therefore, Yang Ye's people will still guard outside Cangzhou, but they will switch to the original Zhu Sanqi
In Qi's camp. If you plan to let Yang Ye's men fight to the death with the Khitan people, they will run away even if they abandon the righteousness of the nation and the country. You know, my people will not only win the battle,
There is no need for anyone to do wrong when it comes to running away."
Luo Xu was even more troubled: "That is to say, I must put my troops in the camp just north of Cangzhou."
Liu Ling said: "There is no other way."
Luo Xu sighed: "Yes, I am the only one who is a cavalryman, and they also bear the title of Tiger Knight Cavalry. The cavalry must always be placed on the frontal battlefield. If they are placed on the city wall, they will be scolded by many people. I
If you want to win people's hearts, you will naturally not do anything that would make those green forest heroes look down upon you. And those county soldiers from various states will never believe that the Huben Governor will make any decisions that are detrimental to the war situation."
Liu Ling said: "There is no way, as the shadow of a famous tree, you are the unique tiger and benevolent protector of the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Luo Xu was a little annoyed: "Your Highness is still mentioning Dazhou at this time. Is it interesting?"
Liu Ling laughed and said: "Interesting, very interesting, very interesting."
Luo Xu said: "I object!"
Liu Ling waved his hand: "Objection is invalid."
Luo Xu said: "At worst, I'll just slap my ass and leave. Before His Highness leaves Cangzhou, I'll leave with the Tiger and Ben Jingqi first. Those hundreds of thousands of soldiers who look beautiful but don't actually have any practical piece of the puzzle, although there is a certain temptation.
It’s powerful, but it’s not big enough compared to the possibility that I might kill the entire Tiger and Ben cavalry.”
Liu Ling said regretfully: "I'm sorry, I want to lead the army to leave Cangzhou to aid Zhaozhou, and the announcement to appoint Luo Xu as the general marshal of Cangzhou's army and horses has been sent out. I guess even the three-year-old children in Cangzhou should know this by now.
News."
Luo Xu's expression finally changed: "Your Highness... you are forcing me."
Liu Ling nodded and said sincerely: "I am forcing you, but why am I not forcing myself? If I lift up a person like you, it will always be more difficult for me to face you in the future. Between you and me,
Sooner or later there will be a battle, and if I do this, it will actually do me no good at all."
Luo Xu said: "That's why I wonder, what is your highness planning?"
Liu Ling said two words, which seemed idiotic, shallow and unconvincing on the surface, but Luo Xu felt that Liu Ling was not lying, and there was no hidden trap in it. He could say these two words
With these two words, Luo Xu's understanding of Liu Ling changed again. Because of these two words, Liu Ling's heroic image in Luo Xu's mind suddenly collapsed and turned into an ordinary person who was not very tall.
Han people.
Liu Ling said that this was just for the sake of the Han people.
"False?"
Liu Ling asked Luo Xu.
Luo Xu nodded and said, "It does sound fake."
Liu Ling asked again: "If I tell you, the purpose of unifying the Central Plains is to integrate the Han people, and then make the Han people stronger and beat the wolves outside the customs, not to push myself to the supreme position for any reason.
,Do you believe it?"
Luo Xu thought for a while: "I don't believe it."
Liu Ling laughed loudly: "So, there will definitely be a battle between you and me."
Luo Xu said seriously: "So, I want to kill His Highness the Khan now."
Liu Ling smiled and said, "I don't want to kill you."
"Why?"
"Because I want to keep you. After I beat those guys outside the wall until they can't hold their heads up, I will put you on the grassland and let you use your tiger spirit to ride around and bully those guys from time to time. They are disobedient.
, you beat them for me. If they obey, you beat them for me. How about that?"
Luo Xu said: "Well, if one day, if His Highness the King of Han wins, I will go to Saibei. If I win, His Highness will also go to Saibei."
Liu Ling shook his head: "First, you can't win. Second, even if you win, you don't dare to let me live."
Luo Xu was silent.
In November of the third year of the reign of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ling handed over the defense of Cangzhou to Luo Xu. He led 6,000 Shura battalion cavalry to Zhaozhou, while Zhu Sanqi followed with his 22,000 German troops.
In the end, Zhuo Qingzhan was left in Cangzhou by Liu Ling, because after all, he was still the governor of Cangzhou County. This was a risky move. Maybe Liu Ling would have found a strong opponent long ago. But Luo Xu was not like anyone else.
It can be despised.
But as Luo Xu said, Liu Ling would never make a decision that would be harmful to him but not beneficial to him.
Liu Ling had no intention of hiding his whereabouts, because there was no way to hide it. Tens of thousands of troops left Cangzhou and marched westward. If the Khitan people had not been collectively blind, they would not have been unable to discover it. At this time, even a fool could guess that the Han army was marching westward.
What is the destination.
"Liu Ling is really gone?"
Yeluji murmured to himself.
It was as if he was answering Yeluji's words, and as if he was confirming the news for himself. Han Zhigu repeated Yeluji's words, but his tone was not doubtful but affirmative: "Liu Ling is really gone!"
Yeluji stood up suddenly and kicked over the desk in front of him: "What is this?! He killed one hundred thousand of my troops and left so easily?"
Han Zhigu had something he wanted to say but didn't dare to say it. He was afraid that if he said it, Yeluji would go crazy.
"He left because he no longer wanted to play with the king."
Yes, Liu Ling didn't want to play with Yeluji, an opponent who looked very beautiful but was actually a hothouse flower. He wanted to change his opponent. That's it. It's extremely simple. Although Han Zhigu is a Khitan man
Living Han, and he has not considered himself a Han since a long time ago. But it is undeniable that he really thinks that His Highness the King of Han has done a very good job. At the very least, not everyone can bear this kind of contempt.
.
Yelu couldn't do it.
Because he suddenly discovered that from beginning to end, that hateful guy Liu Ling did not regard him as his opponent!
Next to the overturned desk was a letter that fell to the ground. There was only one sentence and a name on the letter. And this simple sentence made Yelu extremely painful, angry, and helpless.
"I won't play with you anymore, because I'm going to play with Li Yao's face."
The King of the Han Dynasty, Liu Ling. (To be continued)
