No one is willing to become a chess piece at will in the chess game, and no one likes to play a piece destined to be eaten on the chess board.

The person who guarded the western front of the Northern Liao Dynasty was the chariot and cavalry general Gao Pei of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Although the Gao family began to take over this matter after the Northern Liao Dynasty cleaned the original chariot and cavalry general Yin Lujun's sect, it took more than ten years to gradually calm down the different opinions of the armies on the western front of the Northern Liao Dynasty, gradually cleaned up the remnants of the Yin family, and established a whole Western front defense system loyal to the Gao family and the Northern Liao Dynasty. The Gao family spent nearly a generation to complete these, and spent another generation and countless money to greatly strengthen the military of the Western Route Army. The Western Route Army is now a force that cannot be ignored in the Northern Liao Dynasty, both in the court and in the military.

But the Western Route Army was a little short of time and was not tough enough to speak. At the most crisis in Yunzhou, he was coerced and tempted by the veteran General Xu Jingtian and finally did not take action against Yunzhou. Although the Dalun Mountains were brought under the control of the Western Route Army, it did greatly correct the defensive weakness of the Western Route Army and the entire western northern Liaoning, the obvious recovery momentum of Yunzhou now makes the Western Route Army led by Gao Pei feel even more dangerous.

Yunzhou's military power has indeed been laid off in large numbers, with a much smaller number than before. In Yunzhou now, there are few decent troops outside the 50th battalion. Only a few yamen runners, who are only a few hundred, are left in various places to manage urban security, maintain urban defense facilities, and conduct basic observation and patrols. The others are some wealthy families and aristocratic families formed a small-scale private armed force in the name of their servants. Because Yunzhou has always had the tradition of wealthy families sending troops to help with the war, even now in Yunzhou

The new policy has stricter restrictions on the private soldiers of wealthy families, but this number must be included in the total military force of Yunzhou. Beyond the 50th battalion, there seems to be only these military forces, but in fact, those farms and ranches in the military, even if the Yunzhou Jingliufu did not propose to maintain military training. In fact, there is almost no farm or ranch exception, and almost all maintain a very good level of military training. The 50th battalion plan in Yunzhou made Gao Pei feel uncomfortable whenever he remembered.

What does it mean for fifty battalions, more than 100,000 professional soldiers? Moreover, the equipment and training standards of these fifty battalions are so high. With the operation of the Gao family on the Western Front, we can naturally understand a lot of this content. Not long after the dressing change began, the equipment replacement standards of the Yunzhou army were passed to Gao Pei. At that time, he felt so uncomfortable. The equipment of the eight garrison battalions in Yunzhou may not be as different as the Flying Tiger Camp under his command, which was his armed arm of the Western Route Army. From the detailed report of the Tieyun Cavalry and Jingyun Cavalry, the main combat troops, were even more amazing. Before the rise of the Dongping

, also one of the four-part powers in the world, Yunzhou, which is weaker than cavalry and infantry, is naturally incomparable. Although the Northern Liao Dynasty is better than Yunzhou in terms of military quality, their military army is also very strong. But now, even this advantage over Yunzhou seems to be gradually reversed. Although the heavy equipment battalion with high requirements for military quality and training level and heavy infantry battalion have not been organized, Yunzhou already has two combat infantry battalions and one longbow battalion. This infantry of less than 10,000 people in total made Gao Pei a little worried, because so far, the detailed work has not sent any analysis of the combat power of these three battalions.

Gao Pei's Chen soldiers launched an offensive against Yunzhou at this moment. He was not prepared for the western front, whether it was combat power or logistics supply. But sometimes, he had to consider other things, such as the dispute between the Western Front Battle in the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Southern Front Defense Beining Pass. For example, whether to set up an army on the eastern coast to guard against Dongping and powerful navy from entering from the water and transport troops to land. For example, countless people in the Northern Liao court compromised with Xu Jingtian at that time and did not send troops to cut a large piece in Yunzhou to strengthen the strength of Bei Liao... He had to be tough to ensure that the Western Route Army could maintain the best combat power under his control and guard against threats from Dongping and Yunzhou.

Yes. Threat. Without the position of commander of the Western Route Army, without the death-threatening intelligence documents, there would be no such great pressure as him. In fact, everyone knows that the several armies under construction within Dongping, especially the Tianxuan Army, were set up to attack the Northern Liao. When the Tianxuan Army is completed and the fiftieth battalion in Yunzhou is completed, Dongping can basically launch an offensive against the Northern Liao at any time. There is no war or harmony within the Northern Liao. Under this threat that is already in the clear place, under such huge pressure, someone will naturally be responsible for why the Northern Liao falls into this situation. How disinterested is the Northern Liao Dynasty to the Northern Liao Dynasty's royal court? Now it is true.

It is hard to say. For example, Gao Pei, who seemed to want to fight at this time, obviously did not arrange other troops to deal with various situations, did not prepare enough food and grass to fight for a period of time, and did not even increase the signs of increasing the supply to transport the land. He was just conveying information: his toughness and decisiveness in the battle against Yunzhou, I am afraid that the court would let him shrink back soon to prevent the war with Yunzhou and Dongping; and to the outside world, it was to tell Yunzhou that he was not prepared to fight. As for why he had to make the situation so tense, it depends on whether Yunzhou and Dongping had the ability to discover the recent movements of the Northern Liao court.

However, even so, Gao Pei still felt uneasy. He immediately summoned his son, Gao Senqi, the current commander of the Feihu Camp.

"Asen, are you willing to go to Yunzhou?" Gao Pei asked.

"My father, what are you doing when you go to Yunzhou...?" Gao Senqi understood the embarrassing situation of the Western Route Army between the Northern Liao Wangting and Yunzhou, and also understood why the mobilization of the army to put on a threat to the west. But what can you do when you go to Yunzhou?

"You find a way to meet Ye Tao and try to implement two things: one is to show that our mobilization is not to attack Yunzhou, which is limited to two years, and the other is to try to negotiate a trade route between horses and other things with Yunzhou." Although he had been thinking repeatedly, Gao Pei's tone still showed a hint of restraint. Once his behavior was known to the Northern Liao royal court, he might be a rebellious person and confiscating his family and exterminated his clan.

Gao Senqi frowned and thought for a while, but he did not show much surprise. He said: "Yunzhou has set up a commerce bureau. It seems that they are willing to do it as long as it is a profitable transaction. Although Yunzhou recovers very rapidly, it is indeed lacking in money when wars are almost every year. But can Yunzhou agree to act with us? Knowing that we will not attack, if they have no reaction, the guys in the court will find something wrong immediately, and our Gao family will be in trouble at that time."

"Hmph," Gao Pei said coldly: "It's a disaster, do you still care about these things? If I can defeat Dongping, maybe I, Bei Liao, can have a few more years of national fortunes to plan. If I can defend myself, I, may have the opportunity to work hard to govern. But it's not that easy to defeat Dongping? If I can't take Beining Pass, my Bei Liao will always be passively beaten against Dongping. Yunzhou... may be a breakthrough, and more likely a new threat. However, if I only have a strong army like Flying Tiger Camp, I will never rashly start a war with Yunzhou. I need time, but in fact, Yunzhou also needs it. This is why Yunzhou may agree to take a nervous attitude, but there is no need to start a war.

Yunzhou will have confidence to defeat us in one fell swoop in a few years. On the other hand, why haven’t I established another brigade to restrain the confidence of the Yunzhou army? Their fifty battalions are already the limit of the military power that Yunzhou can support. But how many people can be used to attack Beiliao at that time? 100,000? It’s probably over. At that time, it’s still unknown who will win. Just go to Ye Tao. Even if he doesn’t promise this, there will probably be no big battle for at least a period of time. Moreover, you have to take a good look at what kind of person Ye Tao is? What kind of person are Dai Yun and Chi Lei around him... There will be a battle with them."

Gao Senqi nodded and said, "You can pay attention. Then I will arrange it now and set off tomorrow."

Gao Pei nodded and said, "Well, be careful. I can rest assured to let you do this. This trip is not as good as anything else. Just remember not to fight for your will."

After Gao Senqi left, Gao Pei stared at the huge map hanging on the wall for a while. There were only rough trends of mountains, rivers and rivers on the map, and marks of different colors and shapes were nailed on it to indicate the location of each team. This was still reported from the chess system of the Yi Zhan Tower, and the map marking method that is being learned in almost any army now makes all military information clear at a glance. The vast battlefield really looks like a chess game.
