Chapter 768
The autumn wind is rustling, but Li Cunxin is already in the cold winter.
In the Jin Palace of Yanmenya City, the faint sunlight shone through the heavy and dark clouds, passing through the window lattice and finally falling on the hall.
The sky was gloomy, but Li Cunxin, who was standing in the last row of the hall, felt even more gloomy, and he was trance deeply trapped in the fear and sorrow of the gloomy and clearness. The clouds in the sky seemed extremely heavy, covering the sky that should have been high and clear, with clear air and light wind. He raised his head and could not see the bright sunshine of the past. In the courtyard outside the hall, the yellow fallen leaves that were constantly swept by the wind were dancing and whirling in the air, blocking people's sight. In the air, a strange and solemn atmosphere could be vaguely smelled, with a strong smell, stimulating the sense of smell like blood.
His eyes were a little dazed and stared at the "Khitan Envoy" standing in the hall and talking wildly. He wanted to jump out impulsively and shouted loudly, "This is not a Khitan Envoy, but a spy from the Qin army Li Jing. But his hands and feet were weak and he couldn't take a step. His throat was shattered and could not speak. Although he knew the other party's identity clearly, the news also came from the other party's initiative. Since the other party dared to reveal his identity to him, it proved that the other party was confident.
What is the other party’s dependence?
Li Cunxin knew very well that the other party dared to do this because they held their own handle. He was indeed as the other party imagined. He cared about his fate and could not kill him with him.
Damn Li Jing, he was simply injustice. He thought that he could get rid of Li Jing after returning to Yanmen and gaining Li Keyong's re-trust. Unexpectedly, things were still so cruel. He couldn't help but think of the letter. He didn't sleep all night last night. He read the letter for a night and finally burned to ashes.
The letter was written by Li Jing, who gave him a task to secretly help him, and told Li Keyong to send troops to the grassland and help the Khitan. And, if possible, he would have to finally tell Li Keyong to send troops to Yiwu Town, Hebei to attack Li Quanzhong.
Li Cunxin knew that Li Jing had gathered more than 100,000 troops recently and was preparing to attack the Khitan. Normally, Li Jing should hope that Shatuo would not support the Khitan. But Li Jing asked him to help and finally told Li Keyong to send troops to the grassland. Why is this?
He was a little confused, but he believed that this must be a conspiracy.
He wanted to ignore Li Jing, but he was too afraid of Li Jing. He understood that if Li Jing wanted to deal with him, there would be some way. Moreover, the Shatuo tribe and Li Keyong were nothing compared to the fate of Li Cunxin. At the end of the Xin Dynasty, Li Jing also specially awarded him the title of Kaiguo County of Fanqiu.
Above the throne, the tall and burly Li Ke wore a black eye mask at one glance, a Shatuo crown on his head, a small lapel, a narrow-sleeved leather robe, a large gold-inlaid jade belt around his waist, and a scimitar with a black tiger head handle on it. Under his jaw was covered with thick and curled whiskers, with a bone-bending cold wind from the desert, and his figure was tall and clear.
Although he was only over 20 years old, he sat there and revealed a heart-wrenching aura of surrender that made people dare not doubt it.
"Yilijin confirmed that Li Jing had only dispatched 150,000 troops this time, and there were 30,000 Boy Scouts and 100,000 village soldiers? The real warriors were only 20,000?" Li Keyong's one eye suddenly widened, and a chill was pressing.
A shiny bald Khitan envoy smiled and said, "Go back to Shatuo, then Li Jing is indeed extremely arrogant. We have already obtained the exact news. Not only did Li Jing send only 30,000 elite troops this time, he will also lead this army to invade the grassland personally. Li Jing is very arrogant and has issued a military order to attack our Khitan Khan tent with this miscellaneous military horse."
Li Keyong pinched his chin and thought in his heart.
"Husband, Li Jing is a man who uses his troops so he has always been careful. How could he go deep into the grassland with only 20,000 light cavalry, 100,000 rural soldiers and 30,000 boy scouts to attack the Khitan Khan tent? Be careful that this is Li Jing's trick. Be careful that Li Jing's plan to attack the east and west and lure the tiger away from the mountain." Liu, who was sitting on one side, was wearing a white fox fur robe, dignified and generous.
"Madam's intention, do you think that Li Jing sent troops to the grassland as a fake, but just pretending to make a name for himself, but actually want to lead us to send troops to the grassland. Then Li Jing's army attacked me Shatuo?" Li Keyong asked with a frown. It would not be a surprise to say that Li Jing had attacked the Khitan at this time. After all, Li Jing had fought with the Khitan many times, and Li Jing also used the plan of Li Wu and the strong to secretly support the Khitan Khan to fight with the Shili family, which caused the Khitan civil strife for a time and its power was very weak. Not only did it lose the land in western Liaoning, but it even lost the land in the lower reaches of the Western Liao River, and the eastern part of the Khitan grassland.
Now the Khitan finally ended the civil strife and defeated both the Yinshan Tatars and Xixi who were dependent on Li Jing, which posed a great threat to Li Jing's rear. At this time, Li Jing sent troops to the Khitan, which was reasonable. But what was unreasonable was that Li Jing only used 20,000 elite cavalry, but dispatched 100,000 township soldiers and transferred 30,000 boy scouts to fight, which made people a little confused.
If Li Jing mobilized 100,000 elite soldiers, or even dispatched 60,000 elite cavalry like last time he went south to Hebei, then that would be convincing. But now, Li Jing's lineup is so weird? With these troops, Li Keyong really doesn't believe that Li Jing can defeat the Khitan, but he may be killed by the Khitan.
But if this is Li Jing's plan to attack the east and the west and lure the tiger away from the mountain, the real current one refers to the Khitan attacking Shatuo, which is too simple. Anyone can see such a straightforward plan. Could it be that Li Jing looks down on him, Li Keyong so much and treats him as a fool?
The Khitan envoy spoke out: "King, my family's Yilijin's intention. There are only two possibilities for Li Jing to send troops this time. First, Li Jing is really arrogant and plans to invade my grassland with these 150,000 people. The second is that this is just a false move by Li Jing, and the real goal is different. But no matter which possibility, this line of troops will be real. Even if it is just a false move, at least it must be seven or eight points. Therefore, we are Yilijin's intention, it is better for us to join forces. Whether Li Jing's real or fake troops, we will eat his 150,000 troops in one bite. Even if Li Jing cannot hurt Li Jing's muscles and bones, we can still cut off his fingers."
Liu said coldly: "But if Li Jing really pointed his sword at me, Shatuo, then wouldn't I send troops to the grassland just for the opportunity to take advantage of Li Jing?"
The Khitan envoy continued: "The accurate information we have obtained is that Li Jing not only led this army, but Guo Chongtao and Liu Rengong, who surrendered to Li Jing last time, were also among the soldiers. In addition, among these 100,000 village soldiers, there are at least more than 10,000 village soldiers. They were Shatuo soldiers captured after the Battle of North. After a few years, they have completely become Li Jing's people. Not only are they living and working in the Qin vassal state, but they are now carrying guns and knives for him and fighting for him."
Bang!
Li Ke punched the table hard, and the blue veins on his forehead were exposed.
In the battle of the north, Shatuo soldiers were killed and injured, and finally many were captured. Finally, they were taken to Liaodong, Dengzhou by Li Jing. He never expected that these Shatuo warriors would now fight for Li Jing. What made him even more angry was Guo Chongtao and Liu Rengong. When Liu Rengong joined him like a dog of a family, he took him in, but he turned around and betrayed him. And Guo Chongtao, how much he trusted him. Although he had not long since joined Shatuo, he granted him the horse, camp, and Han generals, and promoted him to the second only to him. However, Guo Chongtao actually had a secret relationship with Li Jing and betrayed him, resulting in the defeat of the army and the defeat of Yizhou.
Li Cunxin, who was in a trance, was awakened by the loud noise, and immediately realized that his opportunity had come.
He stepped out and said loudly: "Sir, the two traitors Guo Chongtao and Liu Rengong, I wish I could kill them. The child was not talented, so I asked the adult to fight. Please pull out a military force to the child. The child was willing to go north to the grassland and personally kill the two thieves Guo and Liu, and offer them to the adults."
Li Keyong was very satisfied with Li Cunxin's statement and made up his mind and said, "The traitors of Guo and Liu must be eliminated. This is a great opportunity. As long as things are done, we can not only eliminate the thieves of Guo and Liu, but also capture the dog thief of Li Jing in one fell swoop, and even bring back nearly 20,000 Shatuo Warriors."
After fighting with Li Jing many times, Shatuo had almost rarely won. This time, he knew that Li Jing had only brought tens of thousands of elite soldiers and dared to go deep into the grassland, which made Li Keyong very moved. If he could capture Li Jing alive or kill Li Jing directly, it would be a fatal blow to the enemy Qin army. Even if he could not kill Li Jing, if he could defeat him, he could still bring back more than 10,000 Shatuo soldiers. You should know that although the Shatuo people were strong, there were always fewer real Shatuo people. More than 10,000 Shatuo warriors were extremely needed for Li Keyong and the entire Shatuo tribe.
However, Yanmen Town is the fundamental, and this cannot be ignored. After thinking about it, Li Keyong finally decided to send his uncle Li Jinzhong, who had just returned with his father, as the main general, and led 20,000 troops to the grassland north to join forces with the Khitan to eat Li Jing's army.
As for Li Cunxin, Li Keyong did not let him go north in the end, but in order to commend his loyalty, Li Keyong reappointed him and asked him to be the Du Yuhou of Li Siyuan who rushes against the capital. When Li Siyuan heard this appointment, he felt a bang in his heart and almost couldn't help but jump out to object. However, after finally looking at Li Cunxin, he still gritted his teeth and held back.
After Li Youjin died in battle and Guo Chongtao betrayed, several generals in Shatuo's army with heavy troops were Li Siyuan, Li Sizhao, Kang Junli, Li Cunzhang, and Li Kexiu. He had a bad relationship with Li Cunxin, and Li Keyong knew that Li Keyong was willing to do so. But at this time, Li Keyong also specially appointed Li Cunxin to work in a rampant position, and was still the Du Yuhou who was in charge of military law. This was a bit subtle.
Perhaps Guo Chongtao's betrayal last time made Li Keyong start to be cautious and suspicious of his generals. It may be that he deliberately sent Li Cunxin, who was dissatisfied with him, to his army. If he directly objected, he was afraid that the suspicion between father and son would be really confirmed.
