Chapter 424 Shocking news

Although the coast of Tianjin was remote enough at that time, it was obviously inconvenient to land in winter due to the tidal flats everywhere. Therefore, the fleet only anchored the seaside and did not go ashore.

From the second day, personal guards sent to inquire about the news came back one after another, reporting on the distribution of troops in the small cities, the number of Dingkou, and the surrounding troops, which made it difficult for Wei Feng to make a choice for a while, because the plunder of Yan State was short and flat. However, because Yan State was remote in Liaodong, Dingkou was already sparse, and the distance between the cities was large, and it was often not on the same route, so an attack direction must be formulated.

On the fourth day, Wei Feng and the generals had already drawn up a route, with a total journey of nearly a thousand miles and could attack three cities. None of the defenders of these three cities exceeded two thousand, so it would be no problem to break through within one day and night!

Wei Feng was about to make the decision, and at this time, another guard was picked up by a boat and gave a bow with excitement: "Report to General, the last general found out that the Lord of Yan Murong Xi led 30,000 infantry and cavalry to leave Longcheng two months ago to attack the Khitan."

"What?" Wei Feng said in disbelief: "But take it seriously? Tell me more!"

The personal guard followed and said, "This matter is absolutely true! Shortly after Murong Xi killed Empress Ding, he appointed Fu Xunying as the queen, and Fu E as Zhaoyi. He obeyed the two Fu's words and even asked for rewards. However, the two Fu liked to have fun and had fun, and perhaps because he was tired of staying in Longcheng, he actually persuaded Murong Xi to attack the Khitan in the winter, saying that in the middle of winter, the Khitans must be unprepared, and the attack with surprise troops should be unexpected!"

Wei Feng asked again: "Then have the sisters of Fu gone too?"

The guard hesitated for a moment and said, "My general thinks he should have gone. After all, it was the expedition to Khitan that they proposed."

"Okay!" Wei Feng shouted loudly: "It's such a gift from God. He can catch Murong Xi, the big fish. I want to see how much oil and water can be squeezed out from him. He sent the order and the fleet immediately anchored and drove northward!"

"As for order!" Several personal guards rushed out of the ship warehouse.

Wei Feng's eyes flashed with bright light, and he kept saying that this trip was worthwhile. This news was a shocking news for him. It was not only the opportunity to capture Murong Xi and make a big fuss. What's more important is that he could also capture Fu Xunying and Fu E'e, which are the two best "saohuo" that he was obsessed with!

Although Dayi and Bao Si are regarded as a beauty that harms the country and the people, and have left a terrified for eternity, who will remain indifferent to such women, and who doesn’t want to taste the charming taste? Wei Feng swallowed a big saliva!

......

After the fleet set off, it landed fifty miles west of Huludao, Liaoning on the tenth day of November. Wei Feng left sailors and 5,000 troops on the ship, and brought the rest of the manpower to ashore.

Among them, there were 200 throwing crossbows and crossbow-arrow crossbows. Wei Feng specially organized the soldiers who operated the crossbows into a crossbow battalion, four hundred crossbows. This was two thousand people. In addition, the Shenjian Battalion was expanded to 6,000 people, and there were thousands of archers. The cavalry was the original 10,000 cavalry and 5,000 horses with horse talent selected from the Li people, forming a 15,000 cavalry. The extra horses carried goods and food together with the hordes seized from the Linyi people. After such an arrangement, Wei Feng's army had almost no hand-to-hand infantry, and his field battles relied entirely on long-range strikes and cavalry charges!

Since the expedition to Yan State was a blitzkrieg, it was obviously inconvenient to carry the camp, Wei Feng specially designed a sleeping bag, and the fur made of nitrogen was sewn together, which was small and easy to carry. Even if you fall asleep in the snow and ice, you can still feel warm in the leeward. It can be said that Wei Feng, who made sufficient preparations to rob Yan State.

The Khitan originated from the Donghu and the Xianbei region. It was one of the Yuwen tribes of the eastern Xianbei region. At that time, it was just a very small tribe, with about 200,000 Dingkou. It lived with Goguryeo, Yan State, Fuyu, Sushen and others in Liaoning, eastern Inner Mongolia, southern Jilin and northern Hebei. The specific migration habitat was located in the eastern section of the Qin River in Wuhou (Laoha River, a tributary of the Western Liao River), which is now Chifeng to Tongliao, Inner Mongolia.

In the entire Wuhou Qin River Basin, there are many races and complex components. However, the centipede insects in Yan State died without being stiff, and their strength was still the highest, followed closely by the rapidly growing Goguryeo.

Logically speaking, the number one enemy of Yan State in Liaodong was Goguryeo. Murong Xi had no reason to conquer the Khitan. However, the Khitans were fierce by nature and came and went like the wind. They repeatedly plundered Yan State. Although they could not bring too much harm, they were very annoyed. If they ignored it, they would sooner or later become a big trouble. Therefore, the sisters of the Fu family suggested taking advantage of the winter to attack the Khitan, which was not without any reason.

Since the Khitan was still more than a thousand miles north, Wei Feng walked very carefully after he got ashore. He only traveled thirty or forty miles a day and sent a large number of personal guards to explore the way around to try to bypass the city of Yan and the villages where the Yan people lived. Fortunately, this was the twelfth month of winter. The land of the northern country was vast and often without people for hundreds of miles, creating excellent conditions for sneak attacks. The herdsmen who occasionally met were killed as quickly as possible.

In fact, if Murong Xi had not left Longcheng, Wei Feng would implement the three-light policy for the villages along the way without hesitation. However, with the three big fishes, Murong Xi and the Fu sister Hua, placed in front of him, he no longer looked down on the little fish and shrimp.

In the southern part of the Wuhou Qin River Basin is the shallow mountains on the edge of the western Liaoning Mountains, and the loess hilly area is mainly composed of sparse elm trees and grasslands. On the evening of the fifth day of the December 2018, the Yan army, who fought against the Khitan, was setting up camp at the foot of a hill in the northwest. Several miles southeast is the Songshan Mountains. Over the mountains, the famous Liaoxi Corridor in the Ming Dynasty. Jinzhou, Huludao, Xingcheng, Suizhong, Shanhaiguan and other important military cities were all on this line. However, at that time, the Liaoxi Corridor was still a barren land. The main route from the Central Plains to the northeast was to leave Yuguan and follow the Daling River, pass Longcheng (now Chaoyang, Liaoning), and turn to the east.

The Yan army's camp was on a small plain less than ten miles between two mountainous areas, with only two openings in the northwest and southeast. From a military perspective, this is extremely taboo. If you are ruthless, you will be blocked from both ends. That is the situation of catching turtles in a jar, just to hide from the wind in the valley. What's more, with the 30,000 Yan army defeating the power of the Khitan, who dares not open your eyes?

The first thing to be built in the valley was a huge golden tent, luxurious and grand, with a radius of dozens of feet. The tent was burning with raging charcoal fire, which separated the cold and darkness outside. On the top of the quilt in the tent, leaning against the master of Yan Murong Xi, the tables in front of him were filled with delicious food. The sisters of Fu family snuggled beside Murong Xi, one left and one right.

Fu Xunying took the fine wine handed over by the palace maid and said with a giggle: "Your Majesty, this expedition was a complete victory, with more than 200 beheadings, nearly a thousand people were captured, and nearly 10,000 horses, sheep and other livestock were captured, and only dozens of casualties in our army. Our Yan army was invincible. This is all because Your Majesty, your commander-in-chief, so that the soldiers were united. Come on, I respect Your Majesty with a cup!"

Fu Xunying got closer and slowly fed the wine into Murong Xi's mouth.

"Hahahaha~~" Murong Xi laughed and said, "I don't have the ability to be of size. It's all up to my beloved concubine's trick!"

Fu E also took the glass of wine and said softly: "Your Majesty is a talented man, and I am a wise ruler from the Great Yan Kingdom. I am deeply honored to serve Your Majesty. It is December now, and this place is only 600 miles away from Longcheng. Therefore, I have a suggestion that Your Majesty might as well stay here for more than ten days and return to Longcheng on the first day of the January next year. The New Year coincides with a triumphant return. This is a joy and two joys are coming. What does Your Majesty mean!"

"It's indeed a wonderful plan! My beloved concubine, you and Xunying always have a strange plan, and you are my right-hand man. When I return to Longcheng, I will immediately give you the right and left military advisors. Hahahaha~~" Murong Xi was in a very happy mood, and couldn't help laughing again.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fu Xunying and Fu E also hugged Murong Xi happily and offered fragrant kisses.

Murong Xi looked at Fu E again and signaled the wine glass in her hand.

Fu E smiled sweetly, drank the wine, and slowly came over. Murong Xi cooperated and stretched his neck, waiting to catch it. Suddenly, a noise came from outside the tent, full of panic: "Your Majesty, something is not good!"

Murong Xi suddenly shivered all over and saw Qiu Nini, the general of the East of the Town, rolling and crawling in!

Fu E was also shocked, "Puchi!", and all the wine that was about to enter Murong Xi's mouth was sprayed out, and it was spraying Murong Xi's face!

Murong Xi didn't care about it, so he wiped it casually and said angrily: "Why are you so panicked? Why don't you report to my tent?"

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Qiu Nini kowtowed repeatedly.

Murong Xihan said with a face: "What's the matter? Say!"

Qiu Nini said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the valley entrances on both sides of the east and west are blocked at night!"

"What?" Murong Xiteng sat upright and asked quickly: "Where did the people come from, and how many people?"

"This..." Qiu Nini hesitated: "It's dark and I can't see clearly. I don't know which troops it is, and I can't tell the number of people..."

"I don't know if someone touched you. What did I support you?" Murong Xi was furious and simply stood up from the Jin quilt.

Qiu Nini kowtowed and didn't dare to speak. He didn't know that he was blocked by someone. As a leading general, this was a death sentence. But who would have thought that someone would have such courage in the Liaodong territory? Qiu Nini just felt that he was cold all over!

The sisters of Fu family also came back from their initial fear, both of which were lost. Fu Xunying trembled and said, "Is it because the Khitans followed, or were they walking away and the wind was exposed, and Gao Tande took the opportunity to attack him?"

Murong Xi is worthy of being a general. After the initial panic, he quickly calmed down and waved his hand and said, "This time, I will send your head on the neck for the time being, so as to make the entire army be on guard. If my beloved concubine is disturbed by the enemy again, I will destroy your entire clan!"
