Chapter 1269 Cavalry

Feng Qiu returned home with a tired look on his face and took off his armor. As soon as his wife brought him hot soup, the door was opened.

"San'er, what should Tangren do?"

"Uncle San, Jinzhou won't massacre the city, right?"

A group of relatives and friends came to greet each other and asked about their well-being.

What he cares about is the safety of Jinzhou and his own safety.

"It's okay!" Feng Qiu shook his head and waved his hand, "The Tang people will not be difficult for us, we are all Han people."

"That's right, we are Han people, and our ancestors are Han people for the 18th generation!"

A man with braided hair and wearing a modified Khitan robe immediately patted his chest and shouted loudly, as if this would give him some confidence.

"Pooh--"

At this time, an old man stepped forward, grabbed his ear and cursed: "You kid, forget your ancestors, what are you learning from Khitans? You are not a human or a ghost."

"What are you doing with this dress? Why not take it off? If you are caught in the street, I will have no money to get you!"

"Catch this kid back quickly, otherwise you will be beaten up and you will not suffer any harm."

The others were laughing, their faces were filled with joy, and they had long been disgusted with such Khitan dress.

Feng Qiu looked at these and said a little tired: "It won't matter, let's break up!"

Everyone looked at it, and after they felt at ease, they retreated.

Then, just as he was about to rest, someone suddenly came to report that the Tang people invited him.

With a full of doubts, Feng Qiu came over uneasy.

As soon as I entered, I saw General Guo, who was so majestic yesterday, standing aside, like a guard.

A middle-aged man with a cold face, with a strong nose and a torched look, looking at him.

"Feng Qiu has met two generals-"

No need to think about it, this will definitely be more noble, and the ceremony will be done.

Seeing his appearance and attitude, Li Xin couldn't help but nod and said, "General Feng has made many achievements in uprising in front of the formation. I will report to the court and reward it truthfully."

"Thank you, General!" Hearing this benefit, although he was empty talk, he was still overjoyed.

"How many Han troops are there in Jinzhou City today?"

Li Xin asked immediately.

"There are about eight thousand people. Before that, the Khitans, Bohai, and Xi people, about five thousand, and there were ten thousand Han people, totaling five thousand."

Feng Qiu immediately revealed.

"How many people in Jinzhou?"

"There are four counties in Jinzhou, with about 20,000 households."

Feng Qiu smiled bitterly and said, "The Khitans only focused on Bohai, Xi people, etc., because they came out of Ding Cheng's army, and the Han'er basically used farming to farm, so they were very neglected."

"In other words, at least 100,000 people in Jinzhou?"

Li Xin thought, he narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Qiu and said, "There will be a summer harvest for another month or two. I will order you to be the governor of Jinzhou, collect food and grass, organize supplies, and it depends on you."

"As for the Han army, half of them were disbanded and returned home to harvest in summer, and the other half was responsible for transporting food and supplies."

"Thank you, General—"

Of course, Feng Qiu understood that this was to remove his influence and thus gather the army, but he could not let down his surrender, so he changed from martial arts to literary talent or even promoted.

"You immediately organize the civilians to repair the city wall. It won't be long before the Khitans will come!"

Li Xin ordered.

Guo Jin, who was standing beside him, looked at him without squinting.

After he left, Li Xin looked at Guo Jin and then ordered: "General Guo, I will send 20,000 people to you and guard Jinzhou City for me."

"The last general obeys the order!" Guo Jin patted his chest and said, "Even if the Khitans came 100,000, I still don't believe that four legs can climb up the city wall!"

"Don't be careless!"

Li Xin said casually, then went south without stopping to accept Laizhou and Runzhou.

Along the way, the roads were straight, the bridges were smooth, there were many houses, and the corn was golden. Many people had already harvested them with their families and sang folk songs from the Central Plains.

When the Tang army at the station heard the arrival of the deployment, they hurriedly greeted each other, which was very lively.

"The land in western Liaoning is as rich as that in the Central Plains!"

When he arrived in Laizhou, he said this.

Afterwards, he said: "If the food collected in summer is collected, the army will save a stone after eating a dou of food. Jinzhou, Laizhou, Runzhou, and all three places are Han people. We must treat them equally. If anyone breaks the military rules and regulations, I will never forgive him."

Under the tiger's eyes, no one dares to get into trouble.

By the time he arrived at Yuguan, there were already 50,000 imperial camps stationed here.

These include the heavy armored cavalry Youzhou Camp.

These 50,000 are all cavalry, which is the essence of the court, led by Li Wei.

Li Xin's attitude even improved a lot, so he calmed the cavalry for a while, and then learned that the remaining 20,000 infantry were about to arrive.

In other words, the 100,000 imperial camps are about to gather together.

The 20,000 troops from Shandong Prefecture and Hebei Prefecture are already on the road, and they will arrive at Yuguan in five or six days.

In addition, there were 30,000 people from Guo Jin in Youzhou, 20,000 people from Youzhou City, 30,000 Yang Tingzhang, and 200,000 troops and horses, all of which would be driven by him.

For a moment, Li Xin was full of passion.

What an honor to be able to command a 200,000 army at this time.

"The cavalry went to Jinzhou immediately. I guess it will take a few days before the Khitans will come!"

Li Xin looked at Li Wei who was eager to try and ordered.

"no problem!"

Li Wei said in a deep voice: "I must let the Khitans see the power of the Tang Dynasty."

"No, I want you to stick to it!"

Li Xin said solemnly: "We are mostly infantrymen, and there are few cavalrymen. Don't use them until the critical moment."

As he said that, he looked at the plowing fields in the distance and couldn't help but say, "We must do our best to make a long-term confrontation!"

"But, the expenses of the court!"

"With the supply of the three prefectures in western Liaoning and Youzhou Prefecture, food and grass will not be scarce."

Li Xin interrupted his words and said bluntly: "You go to Jinzhou and cooperate with Guo Jin, and you must make the Khitan people bleeding."

"We took the lead in this battle. The Khitans lost the three states and came with resentment. If they did not see the battle for a long time, their spirits would inevitably plummet. Even if the famous generals came, it would be useless."

Li Xin's face was full of confidence.

...

Yelu Xiuge did not stop and ordered 100,000 troops from Shangjing to Jinzhou. It took only three days to go from 500 miles to one man and three horses.

However, Jinzhou City, as expected, has changed its flag.

"This is Jinzhou!"

Yelu Xiu Ge said angrily: "The city won by conspiracy and tricks will inevitably be easily lost."

One hundred thousand cavalry unfolded in an instant, surrounding the entire Jinzhou.

But Jinzhou is surrounded by mountains in the northwest and the Bohai Sea in the east. Although it is not as good as those in the world, it is actually not much different.

For Yelu Xiuge, letting the cavalry attack the city was unimaginable.

"Since you can't capture it, then surround it and starve it to death!"

Yelu Xiu Ge said with a gloomy face.

"Boom--"

Suddenly, a huge shock came from the ground, and a cavalry came overwhelmed by the sky and its momentum was no less than that of the Khitans.

"Tang people's cavalry!" Yelu Xiu Ge pursed his lips and shouted in a low voice.
