Chapter 253: Hearing the Drum and Thinking of the Good General

Qin Guan didn't know that the Emperor of Liao was discussing the gathering of available troops across the country to destroy him.

After dinner, Li Xuan came to Qin Guan and said, "Master, I'll ask you if we want to report to the government for the 20,000 troops of Liao Kingdom this time."

Qin Guan asked someone to bring Li Xuan a cup of hot tea and said casually, "You can report it as it is."

Li Xuan said with a confused expression: "But I don't have many carrier pigeons in my hands, and I only have enough at most twice. I'm afraid there will be great use in the future. If I release them now, I'm afraid I will break off contact with the capital by then."

In the past, the pigeon communications were all back and forth, but now they went deep into the heart of Liao. The pigeons had to go but not return and could only deliver letters one way. Li Xuan reported on their march, but Qin Guan now knew nothing about the situation in Zhao.

I have to sigh that ancient communications were too backward.

But he couldn't solve it.

Qin Guan thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is a great use later. Let's remember it first this time. When you have to report it in the future, report it together."

Li Xuan looked at Qin Guan and asked, "Master General, can we really fight to the Central Beijing of Liao?"

Qin Guan smiled and said, "I will definitely be able to fight."

After two days of rest, the soldiers of the North Route Army were filled with oil. Qin Guan ordered the materials from Bei'anzhou to be collected and then went to Zezhou.

In fact, the supplies he brought now are enough for a large army to use for two or three months, but he is prepared for any accidents. Now he has 10,000 slave soldiers and countless war horses. He can bring more of them, which is better than not at that time.

Bei'anzhou was more than 200 miles away from Zezhou. The Northern Army took two days to arrive, but when they arrived in Zezhou, they found that the entire Zezhou city had no defense at all. Qin Guan directly occupied Zezhou.

The Northern Army entered Zezhou and the entire city was empty. Qin Guan guessed that the Liao Kingdom should have new preparations, so he immediately sent a scout to Yuzhou to investigate the news.

Two days later, the scout came back to report that at the Luming Mountain Pass, the dangerous pass leading to Yuzhou, the Liao army stationed 30,000 troops, led by Liao general Xiao Taye, blocking Qin Guan's road ahead.

Qin Guan frowned: "It can be found out."

The captain of the scout said, "Report to the Grand Marshal, we first caught a few Liao people, asked about the situation ahead, and then went to check it out. There was indeed a large army stationed in Luming Mountain, with a huge number of people."

Qin Guan waved his hand and asked them to go down.

Originally, he thought that before he arrived at Dading Prefecture, there should be no army to stop the Liao Kingdom, but now an army of 30,000 people appeared. It was temporarily pieced together or the Emperor of Liao Kingdom took out the last imperial guards, Qin Guan didn't know.

Standing in the yard, Qin watched the gloomy sky and murmured: "It's going to change again, I'm afraid there will be another heavy snow."

As he was talking, the snowflakes began to fall down one or two.

Then it becomes more and more dense.

Soon, the already cleaned yard was covered with white.

What a heavy snow.

I was originally planning to fight all the way to Yuzhou, but now it seems that I can only wait here.

Lumingshan defense line.

Xiao Taye looked at the map and frowned. He had received information that Qin Guan moved into Zezhou City. The defense line he arranged in Luming Mountain's generation could indeed block Qin Guan's road. Luming Mountain's road was narrow and you had to pass through the pass if you want to pass. However, Qin Guan is not the only way to go. Luming Mountain is just the closest road to Yuzhou.

Xiao Taye asked the deputy general: "What do you think if he doesn't leave Luming Mountain? Aren't our defense in vain?"

The deputy general said: "Master, if you want to reach Dading Prefecture, it is the closest to Yuzhou. Unless they pass through Ma Meng Mountain, the mountain is covered with heavy snow, and there is no way to go. In addition, you will take a detour to the Eson River, enter the Kalaqin Grassland and then detour to Dading Prefecture. This section of the road is at least thousands of miles, and it is now full of heavy snow and the grassland is hard to walk. I believe Qin Guan will not be so stupid to walk that road."

In fact, Qin Guan is also worried about this problem now.

It snowed heavily for three consecutive days, and it would take a while from time to time. The snow became thicker and thicker, and there was no way to march. Qin Guan simply stationed here and stopped leaving.

Qin Guan was in a deadlock due to the weather and roads, but in Zhao State, two major battles began at the same time.

On the front line of Yangzhou, Yelu Chongxin sent heavy troops to launch a fierce attack on Cao Bin's defenders. The Zhao army blocked with all its might. On the border between Chuzhou and Yangzhou, the two sides launched several fierce battles. Overall, the Zhao army won fewer victories and more defeats.

Yelu Chongxin said: "Now that the Zhao army is exhausted, I am ready to attack the entire army, and the three groups of people will encircle them, and today I will take down the Zhao army in one fell swoop."

All the generals took the order and left.

The Liao Kingdom's more than 100,000 general attack was launched, and the entire battlefield stretched for more than ten miles, with the sound of fighting everywhere. The blood of the soldiers of the two countries dyed the land red.

On Feihu Ridge, a Liao army surrounded a Zhao army. General Hes held a big sword and pointed at a general who had already stained his armor in front of him, saying, "Wow, my lord, wise and wise, unify the world, why not surrender to seek wealth and honor?"

Hu Yansheng's face was cold and he angrily shouted: "The bullshit Renming and Yingwu, the Liao Kingdom invaded my Zhao territory for no reason and killed my people. If I wanted Hu Yansheng to bow his knees, I would like to ask if I had a gun in my hand or not."

"You don't have the power to fight back now, so why bother to be stubborn? Soon our army will conquer the capital of Zhao, Jinling, and capture your emperor alive. Then you will still kneel at the feet of my Great Liao." Hes said.

Hu Yansheng's momentum remained unabated and said loudly: "General Qin Guan, the great general of Zhenyuan, is now leading 40,000 troops in the territory of Liao. If you don't kill you, you might have captured the Emperor of Liao now."

Hes was furious and yelled: "I'm stubborn and kill."

Hu Yansheng's voice was louder than him, "Kill!" and then rushed towards the surrounding Liao cavalry with only a few dozen cavalry.

Fight for the enemy bravely and sprinkle blood on the battlefield.

And in Zhengzhou, the same war is underway.

Xiao Chucai led 120,000 Liao troops to attack Li Jilong's 150,000 defenders, and this battle was also very fierce.

Two days later, Li Jilong was defeated, and nearly half of the 150,000 army lost, and only 70,000 to 80,000 remaining troops retreated to Yingchang Mansion.

The battle between Yelu Chongxin and Cao Bin ended with Cao Bin's defeat. Only 180,000 imperial guards were left, and they retreated to Yangzhou City.

At the same time in Chuzhou, the Liao people captured tens of thousands of boatmen and craftsmen, and made every effort to build and restore ships, forming a fleet to cross the Yangtze River.

The civil war situation took a sharp turn, which made everyone in Zhao worry.

Jinling City is in danger and people are in panic. Some people have already started running south with their families.

At this time, many people were talking about it, not knowing when General Qin could defeat Liao Kingdom and resolve the domestic crisis.
