Chapter 33: The Influence of the Sanin Ambush

Li Liangzuo talked with Zhou Wentai all night. This night was destined to be an extraordinary night. The national policy of Xixia underwent a major change on this night. Two young people planned the future of a magnificent empire, and Chinese civilization began to shine on the entire world from that night.

According to "Xia Grand Historian: The Records of Emperor Shenwu": In the winter of the seventh year of the Chengdao of Fusheng, the Emperor and Duke Cheng talked about the Datong Palace at night, establishing the national policy of the empire's prosperity in the future. The Emperor and Duke Guo were in a coincidence and had a great conversation. The empire thus embarked on the road to prosperity.

"Report... Your Majesty, General Li Yi sent news that our army won a complete victory in Shanyin, annihilated 30,000 Liao troops in Shuozhou, captured more than 10,000 war horses, and countless weapons and armor. General Li Yi was leading his army back to Datong." The whistle cavalry reported to Li Liangzuohui.

"Is there any news about Xiao Yuanshan?" Li Liangzuo asked the whistle cavalry.

"There is no news, and he may have escaped among the chaos." said the whistle driver.

"I understand, you go down first!" Li Liangzuo said with a wave of his hand.

"Shanyin is a great victory. I am congratulating Your Majesty for removing a major problem." Zhou Wentai congratulated Li Liangzuo.

"I wonder what happened to Bai Daozaka? Is that Jila Yonger reliable?" Li Liangzuo said worriedly.

Zhou Wentai persuaded Li Liangzuo and said, "Your Majesty misunderstood. Jila Yonger is Jila Siyi's son. This son is strong and brave. He should not be a problem to take down a small Baidao Saka. I believe there will be news soon."

"What's going on with Yelu Nelugu recently?" Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Wentai.

Zhou Wentai also said with a puzzled look: "Weichen also feels strange. Nerugu has been in Fengyi for more than half a month, but he has never made any moves. Weichen doubts whether this kid will have any conspiracy!"

Li Liangzuo boldly guessed: "Do you think he is waiting for news about Xiao Yuanshan? If Nelugu knew that Xiao Yuanshan was wiped out, would he attack Datong immediately?"

"Nelugu is brave but not scheming, so he would not have such a profound strategy!" Zhou Wentai rejected, "He shouldn't think of this trick to let Xiao Yuanshan cut off our backs!"

Li Liangzuo thought deeply and said, "He did not mean that there was no such counselor around him. According to my opinion, we should be careful."

Fengyi, in the Liao army camp.

Yelu Nelugu had already received news of Xiao Yuanshan's defeat. At this time, Yelu Nelugu was as anxious as the ant on the hot pan. Li Liangzuo guessed it right, blocking the Xia army's retreat, intending to annihilate the Xia army in Datong. It was indeed not what Yelu Nelugu thought of.

"I am looking for the king," said a civil servant wearing fur clothes.

Yelu Nelugu said anxiously to the visitor: "Master Zheng, you're here. Do you know that I'm so anxious that I'm about to get into the room?"

"Don't be anxious, I dare to ask if the king is Xiao Yuanshan defeated Shanyin." Zheng Hun asked Yelu Nielugu.

Yelu Nelugu said with great admiration: "Sir, I am a god. I just got the news that Xiao Yuanshan was defeated in Shanyin, and the 30,000 border troops were almost wiped out."

"Xiao Yuanshan was defeated, and the main force of the Shuozhou Army was almost wiped out. The thousands of soldiers and horses left on Baidaoban were probably already in danger. I didn't expect that there were such a capable person in the Xia army who could break the situation I carefully arranged." Zheng Hun said.

"Xiao Yuanshan was defeated and could only retreat to Shuozhou. The Xia army had no worries and could concentrate on the battle with our army. However, I received the news that my father was in their hands. If our army attacked Datong, would you say the Xia army use his father as a shield?" Yelu Nelugu said worriedly.

"The king is clear, but the officials think that the emperor's uncle should not be in any danger," Zheng Hun explained. "From the overall perspective, the Xia army now has the upper hand, but the Xia army has already been physically and mentally exhausted in succession of battles. In addition, the Xixia king Li Liangzuo is not a fool. If he is smart, he will not take the initiative to attack us, and he will end the war as soon as possible."

"Master Zheng, I don't know why you said this!" Yelu Nelugu asked.

Zheng Hun replied: "Xia and Liao battled. Although our army has lost more and won less so far, our country has strong national strength. Once spring comes, our army will be able to attack Xia. On the other hand, Xia's internal affairs are unstable, and the monarch and ministers compete for power and profit. Once the war situation falls into a stalemate, the situation will become increasingly unfavorable to the Xia army. So now Li Liangzuo is more anxious than us."

"Mr. Zheng means to ask me not to rush to fight with the Xia army, but to avoid its edge and resist the city to stand firm." Yelu Nelugu said.

“Yes…”

Before he knew it, another half month passed, and Yelu Nelugu still did not come to attack Datong, which made Li Liangzuo feel that he had made a mistake. As the battle situation prolonged, the situation was increasingly unfavorable to Li Liangzuo. The second reinforcements of the Liao army, a total of 50,000 troops had arrived in Yingzhou, forming a force of attack on the Xia army in Datong.

"It seems that I have really made a mistake this time. The Liao army has more and more reinforcements. If it is delayed, the situation will probably be even more unfavorable to us." Li Liangzuo said worriedly, "I wonder what sir has to do with his superiority?"

"Your Majesty, I am still saying that before our army retreats, we must severely damage the Liao army, which will make the Liao kings and ministers frightened. Only in this way can we ensure that the Liao kingdom dare not invade our border within ten years." Zhou Wentai said.

"How is the material transportation?" Li Liangzuo asked.

Zhou Wentai replied: "Most of the supplies have been transported to Heqing City, and now there are still 200,000 stones of grain and grass in Datong that have not been transported away."

"Li Yi, Jila Yong'er brought a 30,000 army with him and escorted 150,000 stones of grain and grass to Baidaoban immediately. After he went there, he immediately established a camp in a dangerous place to retreat." Li Liangzuo issued a military order and said.

"Yes, the last general will receive the order." The two of them took the military order and said.

Li Liangzuo then issued a military order and said, "Zhou Wentai obeyed the order and gave all the 50,000 stones of food and grass left to the remaining people in the city, so that the old, weak, sick and disabled people would leave Datong immediately and let out another wind, saying that as long as he, Yelu Nelugu came, this Datong would be his Yelu Nelugu's cemetery."

"Yes, I received the order..."

"Ji La Siyi obeyed the orders. After all the people left the city, they immediately led their troops to place flammable objects in various parts of the city, and put saltpeter and charcoal on the beams. Three days later, the army evacuated from Datong." Li Liangzuo ordered.

"Yes, the last general takes the order..."

After Li Liangzuo issued the last military order, Zhou Wentai understood what Li Liangzuo was thinking. For a moment, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Wentai's forehead. Zhou Wentai did not expect that Li Liangzuo had such courage and strategy at a young age, which was simply a monster! At this moment, Zhou Wentai also understood that he could not treat Li Liangzuo as an ordinary child. Be careful when speaking in front of Li Liangzuo in the future.

"Okay, you all go and prepare! I want to stay alone for a while." Li Liangzuo stood up from the dragon chaise and said.

No one knows what Li Liangzuo was thinking, only Li Liangzuo himself knew that Li Liangzuo knew that if the ancient city in front of him was put into modern times, it would be a priceless treasure! But in a few days, the city would be completely destroyed, which made Li Liang's heart bleeding! To put it bluntly, Li Liangzuo has not yet achieved the iron-solid heart as a monarch.
