Chapter 430 Catch Liao Lord (please subscribe!)

...

Yue Fei didn't ask for the post of Daidu Commander, and neither did Han Shizhong.

The main reason why Yue Fei refused to let this acting capital rule was because it was Li Yan’s order—the first of the three major disciplines of the Liangshan Army. Yue Fei couldn't control this acting capital to Han Shizhong.

Plus, there's another reason.

Yue Fei has a very excellent psychological quality - self-confidence.

Hmm... To be more precise, it should be fearless - Yue Fei has no selfishness, no distracting thoughts, he only has goals in his eyes and how to achieve them.

Therefore, Yue Fei believes that he can lead these tens of thousands of troops, and he also believes that he can lead these tens of thousands of troops to conquer Liaoxijing!

The reason why Han Shizhong did not want this generation of capital control:
One, it was also because it was Li Yan's order, and he did not dare to disobey Li Yan's order.

Second, it is because he has no face to ask Yue Fei to rule the capital—he, Han Shizhong, travels lightly, does not have to fight a city along the way, and has not fought against an army, so he came directly to Liaoxi Capital. In this case, he did not run away from Yue Fei , let him have something to say, is it possible to shift the responsibility to Wu Jie, but Wu Jie only delayed him for less than two days, even with these two days, he is still slower than Yue Fei, so there is nothing to worry about. What he said was not that he was too slow, but that Yue Fei was too fast, especially when he heard that Yue Fei had wiped out [-] horse troops and captured Yingzhou City, he had nothing to say, and he had no face to ask Yue Fei for this Generation capital rule.

Yue Fei gathered all the generals together to study how to capture Liaoxijing in one battle.

Soon, Yue Fei and others discussed a strategy to defeat Liaoxijing.

It's not difficult.

The reason why Yue Fei failed to capture Liaoxi capital before, including the reason why Wu Jie was trapped in the city of Shuozhou for more than half a month, was because they were harassed by the Liao cavalry, which made them unable to attack the city with peace of mind, not because of Liangshan The army's offensive ability is not good.

Now, all the horse troops of the First Army are here, a total of [-], which is more than that of the Pishi Army in terms of numbers, not to mention that they have the First Battalion and the Iron Buddha on their side.

Therefore, there is no suspense in this battle.

But just when Yue Fei was about to order to prepare to attack the city, a small school brought a lean man.

As soon as the thin man came in, he blew himself up and said, "The young general is Liang Qiu, the deputy commander of the Kite Battalion of the Special Forces who reported the secrets. He was ordered by the time commander of my family to go out of the city and report the situation in the city to the generals face to face."

Hearing that this person was sent by Shi Qian, Yue Fei and others hurriedly invited him to the middle of the big tent.

Liangqiu very consciously took out the token to prove his identity, corrected the code, and then explained how he escaped from the city.

After verifying Liangqiu's identity, Yue Fei asked, "How is the current situation in the city?"

Liang Qiudao: "Now the city has returned to the situation before Xiao Cha assassinated Tao An and Dou Kang. Some are in favor of surrender, some are in favor of standing firm and asking for help from the Jin army, and some are advocating to wait for Emperor Tianzuo to send an army to rescue Yes, arguing."

Yue Fei frowned and said, "Golden Army? The Golden Army is thousands of miles away, how can they come to rescue?"

Liang Qiudao: "The Jin army dispatched troops in November last year and arrived in Zhongjing in the first month of this year. Afterwards, they sent Liao general Yelu Yujian to attack the city. When the Liao army learned that it was Yeluyujian who led the army to attack the city, they stopped resisting Kaesong and surrendered. At that time, the Jin army swept the Liao army around Zhongjing, and the gold master ordered Xie Ye to lead his troops to capture Emperor Tianzuo. However, Xi Wang Xiamo, who was entrenched in Bei'an Prefecture (later Longhua, Hebei), sent troops to harass the Jin army. This made the Jin army dare not go south, so that the Lord of Liao could wait and see in Yuanyangluo." After a pause, Liangqiu continued: "But not long ago, the heroine Zong Han killed King Xi Xiamo, and then led the army Coming straight to Yuanyangluo, Zong Han's army may have crossed the Luan River at this time, and within ten days, the leading army will be able to reach Yuanyangluo."

After hearing this, Yue Fei said, "Is it because of this news that Xiao Chala resisted resolutely?"

Liang Qiudao: "We just got the news that Yelu Yujian did write a private letter to Xiao Chala, but Xiao Chala's resolute resistance was not because Yelu Yujian was coming."

Yue Fei was puzzled and asked, "Why is that?"

Liang Qiudao: "Lord Liao sent news to Xiao Chala that he has borrowed [-] troops from Lord Xia, and the Western Xia army will come east to help him put down the rebellion in a few days."

Han Shizhong frowned and said, "The Xixia Army is coming too? Is this news accurate?"

Han Shizhong has fought with the Xixia Army for more than ten years, and he knows that the Xixia Army is very powerful, and Xixia sent [-] cavalry this time. On the Yanbei Plain, those [-] cavalry are absolutely invincible It is very difficult, at least the Liangshan Army, which lacks cavalry, is not easy to deal with the [-] Xixia cavalry.

So, trouble.

Liangqiu said: "The news is absolutely accurate. Our people have already mingled with Lord Liao and can participate in all important confidential matters."

The Jin army and the Xixia army are coming, and the situation has become complicated.

Yue Fei said: "Here, we should quickly take down Xijing and then set up defenses. We will mainly use the infantry to fight the Jin army and the Xixia army in field battles. It is difficult to guarantee a stable victory. Only by relying on the city to hold on can we be invincible."

Han Shizhong said: "But once there is a strong attack, Xiao Cha will probably burn the food and supplies. If there is no food and supplies, we will enter the city and stick to it, but we will be trapped in the city and die."

Yue Fei also heard about the fact that Chai Yi burned down the food and supplies in Shuozhou City before the city was destroyed, and knew that it was not impossible.

The Liangshan army came to attack Liaoxi capital this time, although they brought a lot of food, grass, supplies, weapons and supplies, but they were innumerable. In the future, when the Song Dynasty closed Yanmen, they would no longer be able to get supplies.

Moreover, the Liangshan army had to distribute food to the poor and help hundreds of thousands of people in several states, so the demand was even greater.

This is also the reason why Li Yan repeatedly emphasized to them before the expedition that they must seize as much food and grass as possible.

At this time, Liangqiu interjected: "Our people also sent back news that although the Liao Lord has more than 2 troops, their hearts are scattered, they have no fighting spirit, their morale is extremely low, and everyone is at a loss. collapsed, they strongly suggested that the governor send troops to capture the Lord of Liao."

Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others were moved, "If the Liao Lord can be captured, many cities in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun will be destroyed without attack. This will undoubtedly allow Li Yan to occupy Yundi faster, even if he wants to capture Yandi in the future The Lord of Liao is also a big trump card."

Han Shizhong immediately looked at the map, and while looking at it, he said: "We are the closest to Yuanyangluo, and we can get there in two days on horseback. At that time, the Jin army was designated to be unable to reach Fengsheng Prefecture, and the Xixia army may not have left Xixia. .”

Sun Ge said: "If we capture the Lord of Liao, the Xixia army may have no reason to send troops, and the governor may lose a major enemy because of this."

Liang Qiu said: "You generals are going to capture the Lord of Liao, you have to hurry up. Our people sent back news that the Lord of Liao is about to leave, and it is very likely that he has already left to join the Xixia army."

Han Shizhong studied the map for a while, then raised his head to look at Yue Fei, and said, "I want to capture Lord Liao."
