When Yang Yi went to the front line to explore, he went to Beijing to look up and saw him. He sent a cavalry to chase him. Yang Yi had already gone far and could not catch up with him.

When Yelu Deguang heard the news, Han Yanhui said: "Yang Yingyang is now a person who is in a military and national affairs. Why is he still so risky?"

Yelu Deguang disagreed with Han Yanhui's statement: "The founding emperor will also be in war for life, let alone the general!" He remembered Yelu Abaoji. If he didn't see with his own eyes, he would never feel at ease in the battlefield. Not to mention Abaoji, even Yelu Deguang himself was always a general and led his troops outside. The emperor general who came out of iron blood was completely different from the Moru's opinion that the general should be in a nine-level safe place.

Yelu Pode said: "Since Yang Yi comes to the battlefield, there will be a fierce battle soon."

Yelu Deguang said: "What do you think he will?"

Yelu Pode said: "The Han people are good at defending the city, and they must also attack the city. However, the Han people rely on sharp equipment to attack the city. The Tang army set out from Ganliang, traveled thousands of miles, and the siege equipment was extremely heavy and could not be carried for a long time. Moreover, Yang Yi had the success of the Battle of Mobei, and would most likely choose to fight with me in the field."

Yelu Deguang said: "If Yang Yi really wants to fight with me, will he fight?"

Yelu Pode shouted: "My Great Khitan has never been afraid of fighting! Besides, this is Linhuang Mansion, how can you not respond in front of your house?"

Sache also said, "If it doesn't respond, the Han army will block the passage of Shangjing and block us in an isolated city. By then, the Shangjing will be like a useless person. What's the use of guarding us!"

Yelu Deguang said: "If you take the challenge, how sure are you?"

Yelu Pode said: "In terms of big strategy, Tiance wins in the north of the desert, and in terms of small strategy, Tiance loses in the new defeat in the capital. Overall, they still occupy the time, and our Daliao is still afraid of Shang Tiance, but because of this, we need a battle to break the obstacles in the hearts of our Daliao warriors! In terms of geographical advantage, our army is dominant, and this is my hometown of Khitan. Local combat is beneficial to me! Although it is not a good season for grassland combat, I have exhausted horsepower and I have shared it with the Tang army. In terms of military strength, Tiance may defeat me slightly, but our army's old and young women have moved east, and the remaining troops are the most capable of fighting to the death, and they will not be weaker than him when they really fight. If you count it carefully, it depends on the performance of the battlefield."

Han Yanhui suddenly interrupted and said, "Two days ago, Yang Yi sent an envoy to exchange Wei Fei for Prince Xiao's Concubine. What does Your Majesty think?"

Wei Fei was just a general, and his overall value was far inferior to Xiao Han, but Yelu Deguang had other considerations and said, "It is okay to replace people, but it cannot be here. Let's wait until I and Yang Yi decide the outcome!"

At this time, someone reported that Yang Yi had another envoy to come and sent a letter of war. It was written by Yang Yi.

Yang Yi's calligraphy is learned from Guo Shidao. The Guo family is inherited from Guo Ziyi, a military strategist who is ranked first in Chinese history and is truly a general and prime minister. Although he does not focus on calligraphy, his calligraphy is very profound. It is different from Zhang Mai's wild approach. His pen is like a dragon and snake, and his muscles and bones are strong.

Han Yanhui opened the war book and took a sip of the color at the letter, and said, "There was news that Yang Yi was seriously ill in Mobei. Today, it seems that either the information is wrong or his body has been cured. This word is the weather from spring to summer. It is impossible for us to plan to make Yang Yi's serious illness."

Yelu Deguang nodded and said, "If he is not sick, that would be better. I will fight him head-on! What does the Zhan Shu say?"

Yang Yi's war book is written in a simple and powerful way. If someone else said this to Yelu Deguang, it would be a rebellious one. However, Yang Yi has the qualifications. Han Yanhui did not shy away from it, so he read Yang Yi's war book, but his writing was very simple:

"Hu'er has been in chaos for 192 years! My Emperor Wu of Han has a lesson: If the enemy can go, I will go again! Now Yang Yibingxun is here to revive this revenge. Five days later, outside the Gande Gate, your clan corpse will be used as a platform and blood as a sacrifice. I wonder if the Khitan has the courage to fight in the city."

When Yelu Deguang heard this, he was not angry and laughed: "If you want to fight, you can fight, why should you provoke the generals!"

——————————

At this time, the army of Tiance had arrived one after another. In the Tang army tent, Yang Yi convened a military meeting, and the generals of the five armies in front, back, left and right gathered. Yang Yi said: "I have issued a letter of war to Yelu Deguang. Whether he should or not, I will fight with him. Today, I am here to swear an oath and arrange a battle formation."

Li Bin spread out a map of formation and said, "Our army is better than the Liao army, and the equipment is more refined, but the heavy equipment has not been brought in thousands of miles north. The Liao army is better than our army, and the good horses are more numerous, but I have the northern part of the world, and the advantage of Khitan cavalry no longer exists. In the future, our army will not have the heavy infantry and long-range equipment that have the advantages of existing advantages over the Han family. The Khitan will not be able to control me with his previous light cavalry advantages over the Han family. They will be cavalry fighting, which is a homogeneous war. The brave will win when we meet on the road! We look forward to you to fight bravely to kill the enemy."

He pointed to the military sketches, talked about the enemy and our battle formation one by one, and made arrangements. After the arrangements were made, according to convention, it was necessary to solicit opinions from the generals in order to pick up the shortcomings.

No one else had any objection, but Chai Rong came out and said: "The day before yesterday, I heard from the military advisor that the Khitan military arrangements meant to be decisive, and the military advisor's arrangements were also a decisive way to win. But the day before yesterday, I heard from the military advisor to explain the flaws in the enemy's layout. There are flaws, so why not make an arrangement for this flaw."

Li Bin said: "No formation in the world can be without flaws. If there is strength, there is weakness. If there is weakness, there is strength. Since the Khitan dares to make such arrangements, they will inevitably have some estimates of their shortcomings. If we keep staring at his shortcomings, we may fall into a dilemma of being unable to cope with his strengths."

Chai Rong said: "But since you know the possible flaws of the other party and don't try to attack, wouldn't it make the Khitan use its strengths more unscrupulously?"

Li Bin pondered for a moment, and Yang Yi said, "This is reasonable. In the war of a large army, the army is still dominated by a dignified and upright army, but now we have sufficient troops. Why not arrange another partial army as a surprise soldier? Who would like to take this life?"

——————————

In the capital city, Yelu Deguang also held a military meeting and said to the generals: "The Han people are insatiable and I am too much. They are not satisfied with occupying the fertile and fertile land of the Central Plains. They will even occupy the bitter and cold land like my Mobei. They will not even leave the place where the horses and sheep left to us by God. If they succeed, the descendants of our Hu will definitely have no place to live in the future. The battle in the future will be based on the century-old tribe fortune. I hope you will fight the enemy side by side with me and swear to resist the Tang army!"

Yelu Pode immediately followed Yelu Deguang: "The Tang army has many soldiers, the central army is strict and difficult to defeat. In the future, the battle will focus on breaking the enemy's morale. To break the enemy's morale, the enemy's morale is the best to take the enemy's head - that is, Yang Yi. Once Yang Yi died, the Tang army would be defeated without fighting, and Mobei would also change people's minds. At that time, we can recover our hometown and let everything on the grassland return to normal."

Yelu Deguang said: "I am here to give orders. In the future, those who can hurt Yang Yi will be rewarded with tens of thousands of gold. Those who can get the title of fifth rank. Those who can take Yang Yi's head, regardless of Hu Han, I will split the land for thousands of miles, and make me the king of the country, and will always protect the vassal of the Great Liao Dynasty!"

When the generals of all races heard this, they were overjoyed. Thinking about the shattering of the land for thousands of miles, it was a feudal division! Since the founding of the Khitan, there has never been such a thing! Therefore, everyone is eager to fight.

——————————

"I'm willing to do it!" Chai Rong said.

"The last general is willing to accept the order!" Ding Hanshan also said.

Li Bin was overjoyed and said, "This matter also requires two generals to do this!"

After the military meeting ended, Yang Yi and Li Bin left Chai Rong and Ding Hanshan to continue the discussion. Li Bin said to Chai Rong: "Go back immediately, select troops and horses, attack the enemy's back, and give it to you!"

Chai Rong received the order very happily.

Li Bin said to Ding Hanshan again: "Our army entered Linhuang Mansion and was restrained by Shangjing. If we cannot go south, we will definitely attract all the attention of the Khitan when the decisive battle will be held in Japan. But you will lead three thousand light cavalry and set off overnight tonight. Guided by the survey and camp, we will attack the south with tentative attacks, not seeking to kill the enemy, not seeking to strait the ground, and go as far as you can. See if it can bring the latest news in the south."

Ding Hanshan said: "The military advisor is still worried about the morale of our army?"

Li Bin looked solemn and said, "The tribes in the north of Mo River have been reborn and have not yet returned. Our Han soldiers have been on the expedition for more than a year. They are in an isolated place and it is difficult to communicate with the local area. Homesickness and sorrow are naturally inevitable. I originally expected that I would be able to meet with the Sweat-Blooded Cavalry Regiment when I arrived in Huangshui. If I could join, this emptiness and discomfort in my mood would be replaced by the joy of seeing my relatives at first sight. But the Sweat-Blooded Cavalry Regiment has not been there yet. Recently, there are rumors. Natural people in the army are unstable. This time you go south, you are not asking for reinforcements, but a certain news south! As long as you can get a certain news, whether it is good or bad, it can stabilize General Yang and me, and know what to do next!"

Ding Hanshan also took the order.

——————————

In the Spring and Autumn Period, countries fought like sports meetings more than wars. The soldiers and horses of various countries often marched with courtesy, issued letters of war, set locations, lined up and then fought. In that era, the gentleman was concerned about victory or defeat, and the casualty rate was very low.

After entering the Warring States Period, the war became omnipotent, the battle became more and more agile and fierce, and the battle then became almost a historical record. This battle outside the capital was not because both sides were gentlemen, but because the enemy and us were clearly distinguished at this time, and the fields were vast and conspiracies were useless, so such a nearly retro war broke out.

The Tang army in Tiance had reached the Huangshui River Basin, and the people who had arrived in the Huangshui River Basin were close to 200,000 people. The Khitans were mainly composed of 50,000 Khitan cavalry, among which 30,000 Pishi Army were divided into cores, and 10,000 cavalry in the left and right directions. Yelu Deguang himself took the middle road. In addition to the 50,000 Khitans, there were 10,000 Tieli tribes in the East Hu, 20,000 Bohai Army, 9,000 Zubu tribes in the north of Mo, 20,000 Xi tribes in the north of Mo, 15,000 enemy lie in the north of Mo, 5,000 Wei in the east of the sea, 5,000 Wei in the black car room, 5,000 Han army, 5,000 Uighurs, 5,000 Wu, and 5,000 female straight people, and the total number was more than 150,000. In terms of overall combat power, it is difficult to distinguish between each other.

——————————

On the eve of the decisive battle, Yelu Pode ordered the guards around him to sing. The songs were heard and resonated. Soon the entire Shangjing City sang in agreement.

Yang Yi was lying at night and suddenly came to the capital and heard a faint song. Yang Yi couldn't sleep. He rode his horse out of the camp and listened in the wind. At this time, the southeast wind was blowing, and the song came. Yang Yi was intimately hot in Hu's affairs for a long time, and he could tell the Hu language, but what he listened to was:

Khitan family, in the clouds

Cars are like water, horses are like dragons

The color of grass comes ten thousand miles

Peony, peony red

Big Hu song, little Hu dance

There is a dome that blocks the wind and rain

Swallows with soft grass

Haidongqing, as healthy as ever

Feathers fell from the sky

Hu'er Qianqi Xiao is in a circumference

Riding for thousands of miles

Horses give birth to wings for dragon riding arrows

The flag is low and the circumference is getting faster and faster

The athlete joins the army

Four-way battles to repay my king

Reply to my Rouge Mountain

Make my women crazy

Restore my Qilian Mountain

Make my animals prosperous

Huns geese cry far away

Khitan Warriors Enter Gaochang

All subordinates at home and abroad

Cattle and sheep herding in the Great Wall

...

——————————

Yang Yi listened in the middle of the night and returned to the army. However, he saw that the army was just a regular one, relying on military rules and without any chaos. However, he heard the Hu people singing Hu songs. He was quite homesick and had many soldiers who could not sleep. Yang Yimi said to Li Bin: "In the future, there may be a great victory, and there may be a great defeat."

Li Bin said in shock: "Why do you say this!"

Yang Yi said: "The Khitan people's spirit has not declined, and it is not the atmosphere of extermination. I was deceived by the great victory of Mobei. I tried to succeed in the battle, but I seemed too impatient. I blamed Guo Zhang before, but I didn't know that I had no such misunderstanding."

Li Bin said: "Now in the evening, singing came from the capital. This must be the enemy general's suspicion formation. Wouldn't you hear the plan of being surrounded by enemies?"

Yang Yi said: "The song can be ordered to be sung, but the morale of the military revealed by the singing of millions of people cannot be faked."

Li Bin said: "A general is a brave soldier, and a general is a brave general. If the king hesitates, it is like the three armies losing their courage! This battle will be unsuccessful in the future!"

Yang Yi lowered his head for a while. He was not thinking, but sensing something. After a while, he said, "I have a warning and no big defeat. But looking at the current situation, it is difficult to win a big victory. We have set three strategies before. You are in a position toward the middle strategy, and when you are on the banks of the Luju River, I am trying to make quick achievements. I am committed to the best strategy. Now it seems that I might as well settle for the second best. You should take this as your heart and make some adjustments."

The Tang army originally had three planned strategic goals: the upper one was to annihilate the Khitan in one fell swoop and unify the north and south of the desert; the middle one was to take Linhuang Prefecture and Yanyun, so that the territory of the Tiance Tang Dynasty was mixed together; the lower one was to retreat to the north of the Mo to maintain the results of last year and wait for the Central Plains to restore its strength. Then, from the Central Plains, the northern Mo to attack in different ways.

The lower labyrinth is difficult for both Zhang Mai and Yang Yi to accept it. The communication between Gansu and Long and Mobei is inconvenient, and it is easy to be defeated by the Khitans. Moreover, after a long separation, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no internal problems. Li Bin prefers the middle labyrinth, while Yang Yi tends to be the upper labyrinth, and Yang Yi is the commander, so Yang Yi's opinions have the upper labyrinth.

Yang Yi raised his head and looked at the bright moon in the sky. He suddenly recited: "The bright moonlight in front of the bed is suspected to be frost on the ground. He looked up at the bright moon and thought of his hometown..." After reciting, he suddenly said: "General is the bravery of the soldiers, the bravery of the general, but now, Xue Fu is my bravery! Xue Fu will not arrive, I feel uneasy!"

——————————

In the capital, Yelu Pode told Yelu Deguang: "The latest news is that the Tang army sent a side army to the south, probably to make a strategy to the south and to respond to their offensive in Chilechuan."

Yelu Deguang said: "How many soldiers?"
