When taking stock of Ming Taizong at the beginning, Lao Zhu was stunned!

Chapter 179 Do you believe it?This intelligence work was probably too sloppy.

But why didn't Liu Zhiyuan get command power?
He used to be the military governor of Taiyuan, but now he is still staying in Beijing. Could it be that Shi Chonggui had a rift with him because of this?
Fu Yanqing and Huangfu met. These two people were probably Shi Chonggui's willing to appoint, but not his confidants.

So the question is, Du Chongwei or Zhang Congen, which of these two represents the core of Shi Chonggui?

Han Dynasty, the first year of Emperor Jing's reign.

Liu Qi smiled and asked Liu Che: "Che'er, who do you think Yelu Deguang will lead the army when he goes south this time?"

Liu Che answered smoothly: "Judging from the Khitan's folk customs, Yelu Deguang will definitely take the lead as emperor, and if a core general is chosen after him, it will probably be Zhao Yanshou."

Although Yelv Deguang does not necessarily regard this person as his confidant, except for this flaw, Zhao Yanshou's performance is perfect and very useful.

In the last southern expedition, he led the troops and played a big role. Since he is such a useful person, why not use him this time?
Regardless of whether he has some small thoughts of becoming emperor buried in his heart, so far he has been shining for the Khitan, so letting him lead the army is a good choice.

[On the eleventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the Khitan army surrounded Hengzhou and captured Gucheng in Dingzhou, Puze in Jizhou, Gaocheng in Hengzhou, Luancheng, Yuanshi, and Ningjin in Zhaozhou, and Zhaozhou in Xingzhou. Qing and other places]

[On the third day of the first lunar month of the eighth year of Huitong, Yelu Deguang divided his troops to attack Xingzhou, Mingzhou, and Cizhou. Wherever he passed, not a blade of grass grew. 】

[The vanguard troops have arrived at Yedu. 】

[After receiving the news, Shi Chonggui ordered Zhang Congen, Ma Quanjie, and An Shenqi to garrison troops in Xingzhou, and Zhao Zailitun to guard Yedu. However, Shi Chonggui himself was ill at this time and did not go to the expedition in person. 】

[Despite the edict, in the face of Yelv Deguang's sharp edge and the fact that Shi Chonggui was not at the scene, the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty always retreated again and again on the grounds of "temporarily retreating to avoid the sharp edge". 】

[Zhang Congen's pair seemed to have preserved their vitality, but in fact they completely spread the fear and greatly affected the morale of the later Jin army. 】

[Subsequently, Zhao Zaili returned to Chanzhou, Ma Quanjie went to Yedu to garrison troops, and Shi Chonggui ordered Zhang Yanze to garrison Liyang and Jingyanguang to garrison Huliangdu. 】

[Then, Huangfu Yu was asked to lead his troops to Xingzhou, and Ma Quanjie led his troops to Xiangzhou. 】

Han Dynasty, the fourth year of Yuanshou.

Is there any deployment for this?

Liu Che was confused. Although his military level was not low, it was incomparable to Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, so he really couldn't see any mystery in Shi Chonggui's arrangement.

Yelu Deguang had nothing to say, just go all the way south and attack along the route of Dingzhou-Hengzhou-Zhaozhou-Xingzhou-Mingzhou-Cizhou-Yedu.

But what does Houjin’s deployment mean?
First, the Third Route Army was sent to garrison Xingzhou. Wasn't it intended to use Xingzhou as the first key line of defense?
Are you planning to rely on Xingzhou to fight the Khitan?

But if that’s what you think, why did you retreat at the critical moment?

This effect has not been exerted at all!
Xingzhou and Xiangzhou are separated by Mingzhou and Cizhou. After retreating, Yelu Deguang directly captured Xingzhou, Mingzhou and Cizhou, and his troops directly reached Yedu!
This retreat has little impact on morale. The people in the later Jin Dynasty were already divided and their morale was low. Now I am afraid that not many people want to fight.

He turned to look at Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, hoping to get some profound insights, but what he saw was a lot of confusion and confusion on their faces.

As top military generals, they naturally know how to temporarily avoid the edge and consume the enemy's energy.

But this is not how you do the specific operation. The idea of ​​​​depleting the enemy's morale failed, and in turn your own morale weakened first.

Liu Che also understood that in the end, Shi Chonggui planned to use Xiangzhou as the first line of defense?Zhang Congen and Ma Quanjie all gathered in Xiangzhou again, and An Shenqi was probably also there.

However, there is the Anyang River, or Huan River, to the north of Xiangzhou, which can also be used as a line of defense.
-
[On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty regrouped in Xiangzhou and dispatched. Zhang Congen, An Shenqi, and Ma Quanjie led tens of thousands of troops to form an array south of the Anyang River. 】

[Huangfu Yuze and Murong Yanchao led thousands of cavalry northward to investigate the whereabouts of the Khitan army. 】

[As a result, Huangfu Yu and his two men were very unlucky and ran into tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry in Ye County, so they fought and retreated all the way east to Yulindian. 】

[How could the Khitan army miss this God-given opportunity?He followed closely all the way. 】

[Facing the relentless pursuit of the Khitan army, Huangfu Yu and Murong Yanchao realized that they would have no chance if they retreated any longer, so they fought hard in Yulindian. 】

[At this time, the main force of the Later Jin Dynasty, which was assembled in the north of Xiangzhou, discovered that Huangfu Yu and the two men had not returned for a long time, and later received a letter asking for help, so An Shenqi hurriedly led his troops to rescue them, and only then rescued the two men when they were about to be captured. down. 】

[The impact of An Shenqi's troops coming to rescue Huangfu Yu and Murong Yanchao goes beyond that. 】

[The smoke and dust billowing along An Shenqi's way made Yelu Deguang think that this was the main force of the Later Jin army dispatched, and the two men in front of him were just bait, so he immediately withdrew northward. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu period.

The princes who carefully watched the war between the Liao Kingdom and the Later Jin Dynasty remained silent, not knowing what kind of evaluation they should make.

In the front, Shi Chonggui asked people to guard this state and that state, but it was of little use. In the end, they still retreated again and again.

Looking at the Liao army again, when the battle was over and it was discovered that An Shenqi had led troops to rescue Huangfu Yu and Murong Yan, it was too late. When he saw the so-called smoke and dust, he thought that all the troops of the Later Jin Dynasty had arrived?
Is this kind of key information just passed down in such a simple way?
This intelligence work was probably too sloppy.

Moreover, when all the troops who were late in the interview arrived, Taizong Yelu Deguang of the Liao Dynasty reacted a little fiercely.

Yexian and Yulin stores are next to each other, and they are separated by Cizhou from Handan... As for that?

"So, is this why the Liao Dynasty and the Later Jin Dynasty relied on political struggle to resolve their battles instead of relying on military struggle?" Zhu Biao sighed.

It is clearly recorded in the history books that the final result of this trip south was still unsuccessful.

The success of the third march south was indispensable for Ye Luguang's manipulation of the politics of the later Jin Dynasty.

The others looked at each other, and Zhu Ping said: "When I talked about Song Taizong before, I was talking about things that could not be obtained on the battlefield, let alone negotiations... Now it seems that it is not absolute."

When situations arise on the battlefield or even inseparable situations, starting from the political perspective is not a new way of thinking to solve the problem.

If they could communicate with the Qin Dynasty, then the ministers of Great Qin would be happy to agree with their view and recommend Great Qin's great war god Guo Kai to the group of young princes of the Zhu family.
