Sali Drinks

The Suide Army was originally Suizhou in the Tang Dynasty. In the second year of Xining, it was regained from the Western Xia Dynasty and changed to a city. In the second year of Yuanfu, it was changed to an army, which was the northern border of the Song Dynasty.

Saliyu brought more than fifty cavalrymen from Yan'an Prefecture. From a distance, Li Yongqi, the Zhijun, brought the Manchu officers, and was already greeted outside the city.

When he arrived, Li Yongqi stepped forward to salute.

Sali nodded immediately after drinking, saying, "No need to be polite! Go to the city!"

After saying that, he turned to the city with a bunch of horses.

Behind Li Yongqi, Li Shifu saw that Sa Li was so rude, and his eyes were about to spit out of fire.

Seeing that Saliyu had already entered the city, Li Yongqi hurriedly got on the horse and followed closely behind. Suide was a border town, and the officials were all military generals. Fortunately, they had horses around them. They all got on their horses and followed Li Yongqi in one after another.

Suide was originally a military city, with very few people in the city, only a few shops. The owner of the shop leaned against the door of the shop, looking at the people entering the city with a lazy expression on his face. The war has been going on for a few years, and there has been no war in this small city, and people have a peaceful mind.

When he arrived at the military yamen, Sali drank his horse and walked into the inside. When he arrived at the official hall, he sat down on it.

Li Yongqi brought the officials in and had to come forward to see him.

Sali shouted: "Recently, Wang Xiao, the Song army's Xuanfu envoy, hunted Shizhou. The north can threaten the prefectures and the west can see Suide. If his power is not destroyed, how can we rest in the future! I mobilized thousands of troops and horses to gather in Suide City to fight to the death with the Song army!"

After saying that, he said to Li Yongqi below: "Li Zhijun, you must prepare food and grass. When the army comes, you will not suffer from the pain of freezing and starvation!"

Li Yongqi hurriedly complained: "Wanhu, Suide was originally a border town, and there were not many people under his rule and lacked land to grow food. Where did the food and grass come from? In the past, they were transported from Yan'an, so that the military and civilians here would not be hungry."

Sali shouted angrily and said, "Raising troops for a thousand days is used for a moment! Now the army is gathering, but you can prepare food and grass, that's it!"

Li Yongqi said: "Stop angry with thousands of households! Just prepare food and grass for thousands of people, Suide really has no choice."

Sali waved his hand: "I will discuss this after this matter! How many soldiers and horses does the Suide Army have? If they fight, how many people can participate in the war?"

Li Yongqi said: "The Suide Army has a total of 2,800 troops, all of which can fight, and there is no idle person."

Sali nodded and said, "It's great! Although you don't have much food and grass, you're still quite considerable. Go down and summon troops and wait for the dispatch!"

Li Yongqi said yes, retreated, and thought to himself that he was lucky.

Sali Yu just wanted to give Li Yongqi a warning, and did not want to make things too difficult for him. Then he asked a few questions about the situation in the city and ordered a banquet to meet him.

Li Yongqi breathed out and left the official hall. As soon as he turned around the corner, his son Li Shifu said, "Sa Liyu is not blinding his dog eyes when he comes here to show off his power! He only brought fifty or sixty people, so he will kill this guy when I order one or two hundred people!"

Li Yongqi said, "Please wait a moment! Sali said that he had mobilized thousands of people to Suide. Do you know whether it is true or not? Don't let Sali, the army will follow you and go to the city. By that time, our family will be over! You send people out and check overnight to see if there are any large army within dozens of miles. If there is no large army, you should wait until the night to start. We will persuade them to drink more tonight. Wouldn't it be easy to wait until they get drunk?"

Li Shifu nodded and said, "Dad said, "I'll send someone to check it out clearly! A few days ago, the news came, Sali said there were three thousand people, but he didn't see any shadows today. Could it be that he was guilty and came to scare us on purpose?"

Li Yongqi said: "It is better to believe that there is than to believe that there is nothing, or to be careful."

After repeated instructions to his son, Li Yongqi let him go. He went to the military yamen to command people to prepare for the evening banquet.

At Wubao Village, Zhang Chi received Wang Xiao's order and responded to Li Shifu's order, it was already dark. He ordered the entire army to prepare, set out tomorrow morning and rest at Yihe Village in the evening. He took another day from Yihe Village to arrive at Suide Army.

In the evening, Zhang Chi summoned the troops to his camp to discuss matters and determine his travel plan tomorrow.

After looking at everyone, Zhang Chi said, "Li Shifu, the general of the Suide Army, said that if Saliyu came to Suide Army, he would lead his subordinates to rob him and join our army. It is estimated that Saliyu might have arrived at Suide Army now, and we will go west to support us. Tomorrow morning, Zhang Zhen will take his troops first and camp at Yihezhai to prepare a camp for the rest of the troops. Dai Yuchang and Zhong Ci set out one after another, and the sun rose at the latest."

The three of them crossed their hands and said yes.

Zhang Chi said: "When we arrived at Yihe Village, there should be news about the Suide Army. If Li Shifu captured Sali, he would stop raising everything and killing him. If not, wait for Yihe Village for two days to see what orders the governor has."

Zhang Zhen said: "Our three regiments have an absolute advantage in the strength of nine thousand soldiers. Why should we be in Yihezhai and others? The soldiers are very fast, so why not kill directly at Suide's army! No matter what Li Shifu is, we will occupy the city!"

Zhang Chi shook his head: "Because there is a Li Shifu in the middle, it is difficult to kill him directly. The Suide Army knew that the army was Li Yongqi, but he asked his son Li Shifu to contact us. Why? To put it bluntly, he thought that there might be some in his hometown, but his heart was still shaking. Once things go wrong, it can still turn around. But Suide is a border town, and the Li family inherited the nine Suwei tribes and inspected the local forces, and they have a great influence in the local area. After recapturing Suide, they have to use their strength to guard against Xixia, and they have to wait."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chi said seriously: "After arriving in Suide, you must treat the people from the Li family with courtesy. If anyone commits it, you will be punished seriously and not lend it to you!"

Seeing Zhang Chi's serious expression, the generals hurriedly crossed their hands together to say yes.

Zhang Chi nodded and said, "If you have any opinions, please just mention them."

Zhang Zhen said: "After we arrive at Yihe Village, if the guardians refuse to open the village gate, we must fight with us, what if?"

Zhang Chi said: "There are three hundred soldiers guarding the village. As long as the army arrives, they should surrender. However, if the camp generals are confused and must fight with us, then they can only fight. At the fastest speed, break through the village and prepare for the army behind them. However, try to avoid excessive killing."

Zhang Zhen hurriedly crossed his hands and said yes.

Cao Yu on the side said: "It can be said that the whole people are soldiers in places like Suide. When we were in the past, what if the people formed rural soldiers and attacked us? If we don't fight back, we are afraid that there will be too many sacrifices."

Zhang Chi said: "Of course we have to fight back. When attacked, what else can we say? Whether it is a regular army or a village soldier, we can counterattack immediately when attacked and we cannot let our soldiers lose money in vain. But after occupying the area, try to use the local army to maintain public order and not interfere. How to manage it? When civil servants are sent later, generals should not take their own initiative. Pay special attention to such border areas."
