The Super Summoning System of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 863
Wanyan Zongwang's face darkened, and he ordered: "Send people to chase immediately, and I have to surprise Liu Bei. It will be troublesome if Liu Bei makes preparations in advance. In addition, immediately send an order to close all the gates of Changli. I don't want someone to Get out."

"Promise!" A general waved his hand, calling for a cavalry to go out of the city to pursue Li Cunmao, and another general went to the other three gates to convey Wanyan Zongwang's order.

At this time, two or three hours had passed since Zishi, the sky was already bright, and Changli City was completely controlled by Jurchen soldiers and horses, even birds could not enter or leave.

On the other side, Li Cunmao only fled with dozens of Qingqi, and fled south to the west of Liaoning.

Although there were Jurchen cavalry chasing after him, fortunately Li Cunmao was a native of Youzhou and was familiar with the terrain, while the Jurchen cavalry came from afar, so they had no eyes for the terrain ahead.Soon Li Cunmao pushed the Jurchen cavalry far away. After chasing for half a day, the Jurchen cavalry couldn't catch up and had to return to Changli to report to Wanyan Zongwang.

Li Cunmao rushed all the way and returned to Xu Ping to report to Liu Bei.

However, Changli is far from Xuping, one is in Liaodong vassal state, the other is in Youbeiping, and there is a Liaoxi county in between, which is hundreds of miles away.Even if Li Cunmao's speed is fast, it will take at least three to five days to return to Xu Ping.

After the Jurchen cavalry returned to Changli, the city had settled down, and there were only about 2 horses left in the [-] Changli defenders. Under the leadership of Shi Jingtang, they all surrendered to the Jurchen.The Jurchen soldiers and horses controlled the gates of the four sides of the city, and most of them were stationed outside the city, and they agreed not to disturb the people.

Wanyan Zongwang led the main force and was still stationed outside the city.

In the barracks, the general who was unable to pursue Li Cunmao returned and reported to Wanyan Zongwang: "General, the last general is incompetent, let Li Cunmao run away."

"As expected, you are not familiar with the terrain, so it's understandable that you can't catch up." Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand and said, "Go down and rest!"

"promise!"

After the cavalier bowed his hands and retreated, Wanyan Zongwang summoned Shi Jingtang, Wanyan Zonghan, Yuan Gai Suwen, An Dianbao and others to discuss the matter.

"Li Cunmao has already talked about it. Our army can't pursue it. According to your estimate, how soon can he return to Xuping and inform Liu Bei. Also, how is the defense in western Liaoning along the way?" Wanyan Zonghan asked Shi Jingtang.

Shi Jingtang murmured for a while, then cupped his hands and replied: "General Qi, if you travel fast all the way, it will take three days at the fastest time to return to Xuping, which is the fastest. But now the weather is cold and the road is covered with snow. Although it melted, the road was muddy and the marching speed would be greatly reduced. It would take at least five days to reach Xuping?
As for the guards along the way, they were very empty, basically there were no guards, because Liu Bei's soldiers and horses were all assembled on the Liaodong front, Changli, and You Beiping's front to guard against Liu Bian's soldiers and horses.Even if Li Cunmao told the defenders to be on strict alert along the way, he was just gathering some young and strong to defend the city, which would be vulnerable to a single blow. "

Wanyan Zonghan also asked: "How many troops does Liu Bei have now?"

Shi Jingtang replied: "Liu Bei is in Xuping, and there are no more than [-] troops, but he is in the direction of no end, and there are [-] troops to confront Liu Bian."

"Oh? I didn't expect that he still has a strong army. Let's analyze it. If our army rushes to attack Xu Ping all the way, what will be the end result?" Wanyan Zongwang asked with a smile.

"There are only three possibilities. One is that Liu Bei surrendered to Liu Bian, and the two of them worked together to resist the heavenly soldiers. Second, Liu Bei recalled the frontline defenders and returned to Xu Ping, and defended Xu Ping to the death. Three times, Liu Bei fled to Liaodong and joined Guan Yu Army!"

"Huh?" An Dianbao raised his brows and said: "Nonsense, now our army is guarding Changli, if we attack Xu Ping, how can he escape into Liaodong?"

Shi Jingtang quickly explained: "The general does not know that Liu Bei has a navy, which was inherited from Gongsun Yuan back then. Back then, Gongsun Yuan once crossed the sea to attack the counties and counties in Donglai, Qingzhou with the help of the navy. Two years ago, Liu Bei The generals Guan Sheng and his son also led the navy from Youbeiping to Jizhou to attack Liu Bian's troops."

Wanyan Zongwang was shocked when he heard the words: "Unexpectedly, in the vast sea, you can already travel by warship?"

It's no wonder Wanyan Zongwang was so surprised, Jurchen came from the white mountains and black waters, and it's just come from the era of fluff drinking blood.All kinds of technologies are extremely backward, and shipbuilding is barely at the strength of the boat system, barely moving on the river, let alone in the vast sea.

Shi Jingtang secretly sneered that the barbarians are barbarians, but he explained: "It's not as exaggerated as the general thought. Liaodong is only a hundred miles away from Qingzhou Donglai. From Youbeiping to Jizhou, it's just walking along the coast. Those who dare to go deep into the sea.

Now that it is not the flood season, the sea on the coast is calm, so there is a great possibility that Liu Bei will cross the sea from You Beiping and flee to Liaodong to join Guan Yu. "

"Even so, it's quite remarkable, but in the three situations you mentioned, the possibility of the second Liu Bei defending Xu Wude is very unlikely. Most of the princes are very resilient and will not give up any chance to stand up. Nothing is an absolute dead end, Liu Bei probably wouldn't do that." Wanyan Zongwang said in a deep voice.

Wan Yan Zonghan also said: "It doesn't matter whether Liu Bei surrenders to Liu Bian or retreats to Liaodong. Now our army has 10,000+ troops and horses. It is time to take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill all the way to Xu Wu. If Liu Bian dares to fight with our army, he will be killed. The emperor of the Han Dynasty, let me, Jurchen, rule the Central Plains."

Wanyan Zonghan was not arrogant, but self-confident. He learned from Shi Jingtang that Liu Bian currently has only 20 soldiers in Yuyang.And after losing [-] soldiers and horses in the siege, there are about [-] to [-]. With the same strength, who is Jurchen afraid of?

What's more, it is still unknown whether the two will unite or not. If Liu Bei flees with his troops, Liu Bian will only have [-] soldiers and horses, let alone Jurchen's opponent.

But what the Jurchen didn't know was that apart from the 13 soldiers and horses, Liu Bian still had [-] elite cavalry that had not been used.If cavalry is used, Liu Bian also has [-] soldiers and horses, which is not much worse than Jurchen.

Compared with the Jurchen soldiers and horses, the Han army may not be as brave and durable as the Jurchen soldiers, but the Han army has trained for many years and cooperated closely with each other, and their joint attack skills are far superior to the Jurchen.Fighting on the battlefield does not depend on the ferocity of individual soldiers to win.

Moreover, the Han army can crush the Jurchens in all aspects such as weapons, armor, logistics, etc. If they really hand in their hands, it is still unknown who will win the battle.

Everyone chattered and discussed, and finally Wanyan Zongwang said: "Since Li Cunmao needs at least five days to inform Liu Bei, and the internal defense of Liaoxi is empty, then our army should take advantage of the victory to pursue and kill all the way to Xu Wu.

Now there are 17 soldiers left in our army. Zong Han, you will lead [-] soldiers to stay in Changli. Remember not to disturb the people. Our army wants to gain a foothold in Youzhou, but we must not lose the hearts of the people.

Shi Jingtang, you will leave a few confidantes in the future to serve under Zong Han, responsible for supplying our army with food and grass, and stabilizing Changli's rear. "

"No!" The two bowed their hands and accepted the order.

Regarding the transfer of expedition personnel, Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to make such arrangements, even though Shi Jingtang surrendered.But Wanyan Zongwang didn't dare to let him stay in Changli. If he turned his back on him and cut off his army's retreat, then his hundreds of thousands of Jurchen soldiers and horses would surely fall into a doomed situation.

Moreover, Shi Jingtang was from Youzhou, and he could not do without Shi Jingtang's help if he continued to attack south.

But Changli also had to send someone to stay behind. An Dianbao was vulgar and obviously inappropriate.And Yuan Gai Suwen was highly skilled in martial arts, and he was indispensable for this expedition, so Wanyan Zongwang could only let Wanyan Zonghan stay in Changli.

Wanyan Zonghan's ability is not inferior to Wanyan Zongwang, these two people and Jin Wushu are the three Jurchen heroes, the top three figures among the younger generation.If it wasn't for Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Agu beating his own son, the main general this time might still be Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan, who is as capable as himself, stays in Changli, so that Wanyan Zongwang can set off with peace of mind, without any worries at all.

The army rested for a day, and Wanyan Zongwang left [-] disabled soldiers and horses to stay behind and let them recuperate in the city. Wanyan Zonghan cooperated with Shi Jingtang's confidantes to guard Changli.

Afterwards, Wanyan Zongwang led 15 Jurchen cavalry with great momentum, and Shi Jingtang, Yuan Gai Suwen, An Dianbao and others will go all the way south.

Liaoxi County is vast and sparsely populated, and there are not many counties, let alone cities, and the interior is empty.Originally, Shi Jingtang estimated that Li Cunmao would have to tell the cities to take strict precautions along the way, but it seemed that Li Cunmao knew that he couldn't defend, so his efforts were not in vain. Except for the city where Li Cunmao rested knowing that the Jurchens were coming, most of the other cities were unguarded.

For four days in a row, Jurchen attacked the city and pulled out the strongholds all the way, and collected the land in the west of Liaoning all the way.

In addition to sending a small number of soldiers and horses to guard important cities as a logistics station, it is convenient for the transportation of luggage from the rear of Changli.Wanyan Zongwang did not send defenders to other cities, so as not to divide too many troops and weaken the strength of the main army.

In four days, the Jurchen soldiers and horses had entered Linyu City in the southwestern part of Liaoning.

After rushing all the way, the Jurchen cavalry were all exhausted. At this time, Shi Jingtang suggested to Wanyan Zongwang: "General, we have rushed all the way, and the soldiers are exhausted. Why don't we rest in Lin Yu for a whole day. We have violated the taboo of military strategists by marching like this. , The lone army went deep. There are many cities ahead, rivers, and mountains are also emerging one after another. If we continue to go deep, I am afraid..."

There is no need for Shi Jingtang to remind, Wanyan Zongwang, as a general of Jurchen, even in history, his commanding ability is also ranked first, he is well aware of the disadvantages of such a march, he waved his hand and said: "You don't need to say it, I know it all, Let the soldiers rest in Linyu for a day, and set off westward the day after tomorrow!"

On the other side, Li Cunmao finally led Qingqi back to Xu Wu. In Xu Wu City, a group of cavalry went straight to the City Lord's Mansion.

Li Cunmao was already exhausted, in front of the gate of the city lord's mansion, the war horse finally couldn't hold on and threw Li Cunmao off his horse.Seeing this, the soldiers in front of the mansion quickly surrounded him: "You are General Li, what's wrong with you?"

Li Cunhao was still wearing Jurchen clothes, he was in a state of embarrassment during the march, and he suffered a lot of flesh injuries while defending the city, so his face is now pale, which shocked the soldiers.

"I have something to ask to see the lord, take me in quickly!" Li Cunmao grabbed the soldier's hand to support his body, and said with a tired face.
