Chapter 1 Don't withdraw

An error occurred while processing s private file

In mid-November, Hou Guai, Gao Baolong and Wu Caitian finally returned to western Liaoning with the Bohai Army.

Upon hearing the news, Li Hu went to the beach to greet him in person.

Hou Jia and the other two knelt down to apologize. As the commander of the rescue army, Hou Jia made arbitrarily change his plans and was very responsible. However, Li Hu believed that he handled it properly and decisively divided his troops. He did not delay the southward battle, and also successfully rescued the Bohai Army. Not only was he innocent, but he was also a meritorious. As the commander of the army, at critical moments, he should be so flexible and flexible, and he should not stick to military orders and disciplines and delay military opportunities. If he did not know how to adapt, he would not dare to take risks, and he had neither courage nor brains, such a person was not suitable to be the commander of the army.

Hou Jia and the other two were a little nervous, but when they heard Li Hu's words, they felt warm. Li Hu was different from others. His ideas were different from those of ordinary people, and his methods of doing things were very different from those of ordinary people. This was probably why he was able to rise rapidly in Liaodong. Hou Jia thought about this in his heart, said a few words of thanks, and then urgently asked about the battle in the south.

"It's very smooth to go south. Luo Shuai has captured Yingzhou and Dong Shuai is besieging Pingzhou." Li Hu smiled, "Yanjing's reaction is very slow. I haven't seen reinforcements from the Liao people yet.^^^^"

"The Bohai Army has more than 20,000 people, and the Yun Hai Army, can join the war soon." Hou Gu volunteered.

"Don't worry, take a break first and rectify the army." Li Hu immediately asked about the Bohai Army's evacuation from the Liaodong Peninsula.

After the main force of the rebel army withdrew, some of the Bohai generals who arrived at Zhenhai Prefecture in advance were eager to evacuate. They were very dissatisfied with Hou Jidi's approach.

Under that situation, how much can you withdraw, how much can you do? Save your life first, how can you care about others? If the reinforcements of the Jurchens arrived, everyone was finished, but Hou Gui was very determined. Everyone was in trouble. They were brothers in trouble. They persisted in the mountains for several years to avenge and did not surrender until death. Now they finally had a chance to escape, how could they give up easily? How could they just care about their own escape and ignore other brothers?

The words can be said very beautifully. But the Jurchens were too strong, which made everyone feel anxious. Hou Guai comforted everyone and said that the Tiger King was attacking Tokyo with his army, firmly restraining the main force of the Jin army in the direction of Tokyo. If nothing unexpected happens, the Jurchens will not divide their troops to rescue Zhenhaifu in the short term in order to protect Tokyo.

In order to calm the hearts of the people, Gao Baolong and Wu Caitian even blew the Tiger King to the sky, saying that the Tiger King was trying his best to save the Bohai Army. Damn **, he would never give up, he would definitely rescue the Bohai Army.

Hou Ge's persistence was rewarded. More Bohai soldiers retreated from the mountains. What was particularly surprising was that the Jurchen reinforcements had not appeared for a long time, which showed that Li Hudi's attack played a role and effectively restrained the Jin army. The Bohai Army had more time to evacuate calmly. However, something happened at this time. The prefectures and counties around Zhenhai Prefecture heard that the Bohai Army had gone down the mountain and occupied Zhenhai Prefecture. Many old Bohai Army troops who surrendered to the Jurchen prefecture came to join. Soon, 20,000 to 30,000 people gathered in Zhenhai Prefecture, and more Bohai people were coming. However, the ships were severely short of ships and they could not evacuate them all in a hurry.

At this moment, the Jurchen reinforcements arrived, and the speed was very fast.

Hou Gu and Bohai Army were in despair and could only stand by the sea and wait helplessly, hoping for a miracle. At the critical moment, Chai Yun arrived with a hundred sea ships. The Bohai Army soldiers on the seaside were cheering, and Hou Gu and Gao Baolong were even more excited and burst into tears. Li Hu did not give up on them after all. At the most critical moment of the Bohai Army, he extended a helping hand and rescued all the Bohai Army.\\\\\\

"The Bohai Army is willing to charge for the Tiger King, go up to the mountain of swords and sea of ​​fire, and is unavoidable." Hou Jiao was passionate, and his loyalty to die for his confidant was touching.

Li Hu understood Hou Gai's meaning. The Bohai Army was a whole and could be used for himself, but could not be dispersed. The Bohai Army had 20,000 to 30,000 people. In the past, they were elites of the Liao Kingdom. Later, they fought with the Jurchens for several years. These people would rather hide in the mountains as bandits than surrender to the Jurchens in the most difficult times. From this, you can imagine how powerful these people were. The Bohai Army used a sharp knife, and if it was used well, it would be like a tiger to add wings. If it was not used well, it would inevitably hurt itself.

Li Hu has already learned from the past, and he does not want to repeat the same mistakes.

"Ship Yun, have you considered taking this opportunity to rebuild the Feiyun Army?" Li Hu tempted. Hou Jiao was a Han man after all. In recent years, although he spared no effort to survive the Bohai Army, it was a matter of sharing weal and woe. Now the Bohai Army has escaped from the trap, like a dragon entering the sea and tiger going down the deep mountains. Hou Jiao wanted to control the Bohai people again, which is probably very difficult.

In the Bohai Kingdom, the Bohai people were above, and the Han people were just their subordinates, but in the Liaodong Yijun, the Han people were above, and the Bohai people were subordinates. This change in mentality will affect the Bohai people's recognition of Hou Ge. Chai Yun had discovered this on the way back. Hou Ge did have prestige in the Bohai Army, but he was Han people. When the interests of the Han people conflicted with the interests of the Bohai people, Hou Ge would undoubtedly sacrifice the interests of the Bohai people and the land. Therefore, many Bohai generals were very worried about the future of the Bohai Army.

"Ship Yun, rebuilding the Feiyun Army is your wish for many years. Now the opportunity is so good, and the general commander is helping..." Gao Baolong interjected at the right time. The meaning was very obvious. He did not want Hou Jia to take over the Bohai Army for himself. The Bohai people's army should not be commanded by a Han person, at least it is not suitable for the moment.

Of course, Hou Jiao knew that Li Hu would not let him break the balance of strength within the rebel army, so his goal was actually to rebuild the Feiyun Army. Hou Jiao hurriedly expressed his gratitude, "Please help from the general general."

The three people immediately formulated a plan to reorganize the army. This plan is very simple. All the Han people in the Bohai Army belong to the Feiyun Army, while the Bohai people and other foreign tribes belong to the Bohai Army. Damn **

The four generals of the Feiyun Army, including 10,000 people, one of them was the Ma Army. The commander Hou Gu.

The six generals of the Bohai Army, including 15,000 men, were all the horse army and commander Gao Baolong.

Hou Jue no longer serves as the head coach of Yun Haijun. Yun Haijun is composed of Yun and Haijun. Yun is originally a subordinate of Hou Jue, but now he is led by Wu Chitian.

There are more than 20,000 war horses in the camp of Runzhou. They were originally reserved for the horse army, but now they are entitled to the Feiyun army and the Bohai army. I urgently reported that the Liao reinforcements had been dispatched and were coming to Pingzhou.

Li Hu hurriedly led the Feiyun Army and the Bohai Army into Yuguan and rushed to Luanzhou.

Yifeng City, Luanzhou Zhifu, is located on the west bank of the Luan River. This is an endless plain with a flat mountain, with no obstacles except the Luan River. It is the middle of winter, and the Luan River is already frozen and people can pass by.

The main forces of the Liaodong Yijun gathered on both sides of the Luan River, and the camps were connected for several miles, surrounding Yifeng City.

When Li Hu arrived at Yifeng City, the rebel army was sieging the city. The battle was fierce and the sound of killing was shocking.

"The reinforcements of the Liao people are coming quickly." Huo Liuge stood in front of the map with a serious expression. "According to the scout's report, the Liao army attacked in five directions."

"I know that the Xi Wang Mansion is in charge of Xiao Xia, the Xi army is buying 20,000 yuan, and he is coming quickly from the north of Jingzhou."

"Yelu Ning, the governor of the Lulong Army in Youzhou, led a 30,000 army to advance from Jizhou."

"Yelu Gaoba led 30,000 palace tent troops to come from Yutian."

"The commander Yelu Foding from the south road led 20,000 Liaoxing troops and came from Wuqing in the southwest direction."

"Yan King Yelu Chun led the left and right wings of the Holy Army, the first left wings and the seventh right wings, the guards controlled the He and the guards of the Han army, about 120,000 troops have crossed the Gushui River, and are more than 400 miles away from Luanzhou."

More than 200,000 Liao troops came from the direction of Yanjing, and the situation was very critical.

The rebel army is currently on the front line of Luanhe River, with five armies of Tiger and Lie, resentful army, Wu Yong army, Yan Wang army, Shenlong army, Thunder army, and twenty-nine generals.

"In the process of attacking Yingzhou and Hepingzhou, we lost about 10,000 people." Huo Liuge said, "In order to seize the time, the troops attacked day and night, taking turns to fight, and the losses were huge. It has been eighteen days since the attack was launched, and the soldiers were very tired."

Li Hu pondered and said nothing. The twenty-nine generals who fought south had 72,500 people, with 10,000 casualties, and more than 60,000 people remained. Together with the ten generals of the Feiyun Army and the Bohai Army, the rebel army currently has nearly 90,000 troops, less than half of the Liao army. How can this battle be fought?

"Although with the support of Feiyun Army and Bohai Army, Yifeng City was unable to conquer, and the Luan River was frozen and could be easily crossed. We had no danger to defend and could only retreat to Yu Pass." Dong Xiaohou shook his head helplessly, "This time the Liao army was very helpful, giving us eighteen days of attack time, and God also helped. It has not snowed so far. Unfortunately, we met our opponent. Zhang Jue was very tenacious and defended the city, which led to our attack being blocked and failed."

"It's hard to attack the city, of course." Li Hu comforted, "Zhang Jue has been on Pingzhou Road for so many years, and he must have a group of people under his command. The military and civilians work together to protect it. It is already rare for us to win Yingzhou and Pingzhou in such a short time."

Luo Qinghan shook his head and sighed, "I am really unwilling to withdraw like this."
