Chapter 239: Don't worry, eat and drink enough to act at night

The Liao army commander died, the soldiers were lost, and many people only wanted to escape, and only a small number of people dared to resist.

Faced with the fierce Northern Army, the only one waiting for the Liao people was massacre.

Qin Guan had ordered that he would not keep any soldiers who could kill them.

Don't take prisoners.

In one hour, the Northern Army slaughtered the entire Zhuozhou City.

Xiong Da reported that he killed more than 10,000 enemies in total, seized more than 4,000 war horses and countless food and supplies. As for the armor on the soldiers, Qin Guan was not interested in letting the soldiers collect it now.

After packing up everything, Qin Guan immediately ordered to go out to Xijin Mansion immediately. He must rush outside Xijin Mansion before dark.

Li Xuan rode a horse to catch up with Qin Guan and said excitedly: "General, we must report to the court and His Majesty as soon as possible to know that if someone causes disaster to the general, they can shut up."

Qin Guan thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Li Xuan returned to the car and wrote memorials while rushing to the road. It was really difficult for him. Soon, two carrier pigeons flew out.

Xijin Prefecture, namely Nanjing Xijin Prefecture, is one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, also known as Yanjing, which is the modern Beijing.

Nanjing Xijin Prefecture is the political, military and economic center of the Liao Kingdom in North China. Nanjing is the largest among the five capitals, and its buildings are basically based on the old city of the Tang Dynasty.

Commenting on the Five Great Liao Capitals, some people say that Shangjing has the highest status and Zhongjing occupies the largest land area. Speaking of Nanjing, the Great Liao capital, its most prominent feature is its "richness".

Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitan, which expanded the territory of the Liao Kingdom to the Great Wall. The Liao Kingdom attached great importance to Nanjing and built it into an economic city of the Great Liao Kingdom. The population was 180,000 and more than 20 markets of various markets. The Liao Kingdom and Zhao Kingdom had been trading together for many years. Xijin Prefecture was the largest transshipment point and trading place.

It can be said that one-fifth of the income of the Great Liao Kingdom comes from here, and it is no exaggeration to call it the money bag of the Great Liao Kingdom.

The Xijin Prefecture is naturally also a major defense center and is close to the border, so it naturally stationed heavy troops. The border commander's yamen is in the Xijin Prefecture. The border commander Yelu Qicai is in the Nanjing front line, with a total of 50,000 border troops stationed in Nanjing city.

Ulian sent someone to send the battle report. Yelu Qicai was very surprised after reading it. He asked Ulian's personal guards sternly: "The army of Zhao really appeared outside Zhuozhou City, and the number was 40,000 to 50,000."

"Yes, the handsome man, it's true, the young man saw it with his own eyes."

Yelu Qicai narrowed his eyes and spit out a few words, "The Great Zhao State itself is in danger, and he dares to send troops to our Great Liao State to act wildly. I am really seeking death."

"Do you want to use the strategy of surrounding Wei to save Zhao? You can send an army of 40,000 or 50,000 yuan without any support. If someone cuts off the supply, it will become a real lonely army. Is the emperor of Da Zhao really stupid to this extent? It's ridiculous."

"Come here!" Yelu Qicai shouted loudly.

A personal guard came in.

"Call all the generals to discuss matters here." Yelu Qicai was not in a hurry. Gao Qiangjian, and Ulian was not a fool. He believed that even if the army of the Great Zhao State attacked for a few days, he might not be able to break through. He had enough time to study countermeasures.

Yelu Qicai's idea was that since he came, he would take down all the Zhao army.

When the generals heard that Zhao State sent 40,000 to 50,000 people to attack, they were stunned at first, and then they all burst into laughter.

A general said, "Master, we were unable to participate in this battle. We originally thought we would not be able to make any contributions, but now the people of Zhao have come to us on their own initiative. We cannot let it go."

"Yes, handsome man, I'm almost holding my horns out." Another general said.

"I feel so nervous that I'll ask the woman to spit it out." A person next to me teased.

"Without playing with women, I can kill the southerners."

Yelu Qizi suppressed his hand and said, "I want to ask you to come here to discuss with you how to wipe out the Zhao army. Since they come to the door, they must not let it go."

"I understand the Grand Marshal."

Then these Liao generals began to study how to move, trapped the Zhao people in the territory of Liao, and kept the intersection and did not let them run away.

But at this moment, a military academy rushed in and said loudly: "Report to the general, urgent military information, the Zhao army has reached ten miles outside Nanjing."

Upon hearing this news, the seven or eight generals in the room, including Yelu Qicai, were all stunned. Their first reaction was that it was impossible.

Yelu Qicai asked, "Make it clear."

"It's the Grand Commander. The enemy's traces appeared on the defensive post. Come to report that a large army of Zhao is coming towards Nanjing City. The number of people is about 40,000 to 50,000. The Daqi of the Supervisor is the character "Qin". When he appeared, he was less than twenty miles away from Nanjing City. Now he should be about ten miles away from Nanjing City."

Yelu Qicai was still digesting the news, and a general next to him murmured: "Was it possible that the Zhao army gave up Zhuozhou City and went around directly, wanting to attack Xijin Mansion."

Someone next to him said disdainfully: "If you go around, it only means that the coach is a complete fool, and it is easier to do so now. There is no need to study how to arrange the army. With Ulian sealing the door behind, we only need half a day to annihilate them."

Yelu Qicai always felt that things were not that simple, and said loudly: "Follow me to the city wall."

Yelu Qicai had just arrived at the south gate, and Zhao Yanshou, who was left by Xijin Prefecture, also came. When he saw Yelu Qicai, he bowed and asked, "Master, I don't know what's going on."

The Liao Kingdom is different from the Zhao Kingdom. In Zhao Kingdom, even a low-level civil servant would not take the initiative to say hello to a general. In Liao Kingdom, the military general has a very high status and civil servants are more like auxiliary personnel. Therefore, Zhao Yanshou, a left-behind official, needs to say hello to him when he sees Yelu Qi.

Yelu Qicai told him briefly, and Zhao Yanshou was also surprised that there were still people fighting like this. He went deep into the Liao Kingdom without caring about his retreat. What was he doing if he was here to die.

When Yelu Qicai stood at the top of the city, he could already see a large army slowly moving from afar, with horses hooves and flags waving, looking very powerful.

Having seen the shadow of the Nanjing city wall, Qin Guan stopped and called his four generals and said, "Camp on the spot, make a fire and cook."

Xiong Da and others were all stunned. Xiong Er asked, "Young Master, it's still early now, won't you attack the city?"

Before, Qin Guan was thinking about it and marched all the way to the city of Zhongjing.

But when the march reached here, Qin Guan was not in a hurry. His purpose was to marching the Great Liao Kingdom to affect the entire Liao Kingdom and to involve the army that invaded Zhao Kingdom at the same time, so he was ready to make full use of the momentum and step by step.
