Chapter 152 beat, beat
When Li Liangzuo entered the lobby of the palace, he was not polite, and sat directly on the throne that originally belonged to Yelu Renxian. The Xia army generals and the Northern Liao army generals were on both sides. Since Li Liangzuo robbed the position that originally belonged to Yelu Renxian, Yelu Renxian could only stand awkwardly in the position led by his own side.
At this time, the leader of the Xia army was Li Yi rather than Gao Wei. Li Liangzuo sat down and glanced at everyone and said, "All the civil and military officials in the city have arrived! In fact, there is nothing big about me here, it's getting late, everyone will disperse! King Ruyang, Li Yi and Gao Wei, you three stayed. I have something to discuss with you."
After all the unrelated personnel left, the three of them sat down and Li Liangzuo said to them: "Now that Datong City is surrounded by the Southern Liao army, it is a blessing that I can come in; in Datong, we cannot compare with the Southern Liao army, both in Datong, both in terms of military strength, food and supplies, so it is a matter of time before Datong falls. Since this is the case, I feel it is better to withdraw from Datong early to avoid wasting unnecessary troops."
Li Liangzuo's words were like "a stone stirred up a thousand waves." Li Liangzuo's decision surprised everyone. Everyone present knew the importance of Datong to the Western Xia. Everyone was unaware of why Li Liangzuo chose to withdraw his troops from He Datong at this time. The most depressing one was the king of Ruyang Yelu Renxian. After all, Datong is Yelu Renxian's nest!
Yelu Renxian asked Li Liangzuo very depressedly: "I wonder why Your Majesty suddenly decided to withdraw his troops? This seems to be different from our original agreement!"
Li Liangzuo said in a very embarrassing manner: "Isn't there any way I can do this? Datong is indeed very important to us. It is a bridgehead for our army to counterattack the Southern Liao army. However, with our strength and strength, we have no way to enter the counterattack stage. The strategies around Datong have been completely lost. Instead of continuing to waste troops here, it is better to withdraw from Datong, re-arrange all the troops and accumulate strength to carry out a counterattack."
Yelu Renxian was still unwilling to accept his wish to say to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, once Datong falls, the Southern Liao Army will have a stable strategic support point in the west, and then we will be more passive. Please think twice."
Li Liangzuo continued to insist with a cold face: "I have decided my intentions. If the Northern Liao army under King Ruyang is unwilling to withdraw from Datong, I will not force you."
Yelu Renxian cursed in his heart: "Your grandma, the reason why Datong is still there is still because your Xia army is stationed; even you have run away, isn't I seeking death if I stay..."
Yelu Renxian cursed Li Liangzuo in his heart, and even the eighteen generations of ancestors brought him. Li Liangzuo kept sneezing. Although Yelu Renxian cursed Li Liangzuo in his heart, he said unhappy on the surface: "Since that's the case, then I will obey Your Majesty's resolution immediately."
Yelu Ren finished speaking without stopping and left the lobby directly. After Yelu Ren left first, Li Liangzuo stared at Li Yi and Gao Wei with his sharp eyes, making them feel terrified. Li Liangzuo stared at the two of them for nearly a stick of incense. Li Liangzuo did not say anything, Li Yi and Gao Wei could only watch from the side like elementary school students.
The two felt that after a long time, Li Liangzuo scolded: "Have you two of you got into the water and became muddy? How did I tell you before coming, so that you should not have conflicts with the Southern Liao army and not have conflicts, but what about you! They fought without a sound. Once the two countries started a full war, do you know what the consequences are..."
Li Liangzuo scolded the two of them first, and even if they felt wronged, they could only endure it. To be honest, it was inevitable that they would have a conflict with the Southern Liao army this time, and it was not related to the two. No matter who came to Datong at that time, they would inevitably have a conflict with the Southern Liao army. In a sense, the two were scapegoats.
In fact, Li Liangzuo also knew that this conflict was not controllable. The reason why Li Liangzuo scolded the two was actually to hit them, especially Gao Wei. When he went to the city this time, he saw Gao Wei and Li Liangzuo, he found that Gao Wei had a kind of arrogance of taking credit for himself. Although he was still very respectful to Li Liangzuo, he had some changes to others.
This is also common sense. After all, Gao Wei relied on his own words to win Shuozhou and Datong. Only Su Qin and Zhang Yi in the Warring States Period had such achievements. However, Li Liangzuo was both happy and worried about this. The reason was simple and happy. Although Gao Wei was very talented, he was also a different person and would not hide his old fry. He was worried because Li Liangzuo was afraid that such a talent would fall from now on, which would be a great loss to the Western Xia court!
He scolded the two of them. After they left, Li Liangzuo said to Xiao Zhuozi: "Go and call General Jilasiyi, I have something to discuss with him."
"Yes, I'll do it now." Xiao Zhuozi said in response.
Soon Jilasiyi was found by Xiao Zhuozi. When Jilasiyi saw Li Liangzuo, he immediately knelt down and said, "The old minister Jilasiyi pays homage to Your Majesty, please redeem your majesty for not being welcomed."
"The old general is exempted from the gifts. Thank you for your hard work in guarding Datong." Li Liangzuo walked to Jilasiyi and helped Jilasiyi up and said.
Jila Siyi was very excited to see Li Liangzuo. Speaking of which, since the Battle of Woluo, Li Liangzuo and Jila Siyi have not seen each other for several years. For several years, Jila Siyi has been guarding the gate of Xixia in the northeast and guarding the defense line of Xixia in the northeast. This has also broken the convention. Logically speaking, the generals of the border army usually rotate once every three years, and at most no more than five years.
However, since Li Liangzuo took power, Jilasiyi has been in charge of the northeast for more than six years. If it were from when Li Liangzuo ascended the throne, Jilasiyi has been rooted in the northeast for more than twenty years. It can be said that the Hetao Army today was brought out by Jilasiyi. Basically, grassroots officers are old subordinates of Jilasiyi. In a sense, Jilasiyi is a warlord.
The reason why Li Liangzuo allowed Jilasiyi to continue to command the army was because he was attracted by Jilasiyi's one thing, that is loyalty. Jilasiyi has no idea about loyalty. At that time, Li Liangzuo had not yet taken power. Except for tens of thousands of troops pulled out from the capital camp, the rest were all the troops under Jilasiyi who took over.
It was precisely because Li Liangzuo saw this that he allowed Jilasiyi to command the Hetao Army for so many years before he promoted Jilasiyi's eldest son Jilayyy's head to the head general of the first division of the Central Army. This shows how heavy the Jilasi's adopted father and son were in Li Liangzuo's heart.
"The old general has lost his border guards for many years. I have thanked the old general on behalf of the people of Xixia." Li Liangzuo bowed his hand and said to Jila Siyi.
Jila Siyi was moved and said with tears in his eyes: "This is what the old minister should do. How dare you treat His Majesty like this? The old minister has to repay His Majesty with all his gratitude."
Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "How can you bear to die in the old general? I still hope that the old general will guard the gate of Xixia in the northeast for me!"
Today I am here to offer you more support and give me more recommendations and various votes. Tianyu thanks everyone.
