Chapter 52: The Gambler's Nature
An error occurred while processing s private files
Li Hu is a gambler, but at this time he still can't change his nature. He is very brave to use the entire rebel army to gamble, but unfortunately, once he loses, he will lose all his money.
Li Hu doesn't care. He has nothing. The generals have family and property, and the people have relatives and property. However, he has no relatives and no property. He originally wanted to marry a wife, but a group of local thieves forced the chicken to fly away. It would be fine if he had nothing, but he also carried a big burden of more than 400,000 people and was heavily in debt. Therefore, he dared to gamble and was very happy to have this rare gambling game.
"This is too risky." Mao's army was the first to object. He was from a corps and had fought for so many years. He had not fought such a suicide battle. He firmly opposed it and insisted on putting the camp tent in the Xiaoquan River. The width of the battlefield of forty miles is already the limit and can no longer be compressed. Although he is known for his smoothness, he cannot be smooth at this time. He cannot let a group of big thieves and small thieves make a fool of themselves and lose their lives in vain.
Mao's opposition backfired.
He came from the uprising in front of the formation, and had no trust from the local thieves. Moreover, the Huaihua Army had always defeated wars in the past and had a grudge against the rebels. Such people should have cut off their heads, but now he not only did the official and the soldiers, but also pointed at them here. If the general manager listened to him, that's all. You old thief want to rebel?
The local thieves immediately turned their fingers, regardless of right or wrong, and unanimously attacked the surrendered officer who was highly regarded and scolded him.
This matter is troublesome. I was originally discussing how to fight, but it turned out to be a personal attack.
Mao Jun was so smart that he closed his mouth and drooped his head, saying that he was not considerate well and was wrong. The general coach is right, I listened to the general coach.
Therefore, the generals of all armies agreed and obeyed the command of the general.

Li Hu wanted to hear his opinions, and he would like to focus on his strengths and avoid his weaknesses. Unexpectedly, he would disturb these thieves, especially the blacksmith who had the biggest voice and screamed the most fiercely. Next time I asked you to take the lead and let you go to the underworld to be a little devil, which would be a big noisy.
Li Hu then deployed an attack strategy.
The front army was responsible for attacking the Liao army head-on.
The rear army was responsible for frontal blocking the Jin army.
The central army guarded the camp and supported the front and back to ensure that the 400,000 people did not collapse.

What's this? Do you know how to fight?
This time the thieves couldn't help it and jumped up first.
The Liao army has more than 30,000 people, occupying the benefits of the terrain. You use 15,000 people to fight, and half of them are small thieves, not the elite of the rebel army. Are you fighting a war or eliminating dissidents? How many days are you going to be here to spend the winter? Also, the entire battlefield is compressed, only twenty miles in front and behind. If the Jin people attack the rear army, how can they block the 10,000 infantry? Are you trying to make the rebel army collapse?
Of course, the local thieves dare not say this insult, but they will complain and scold the poor. Five thousand people in the central army is enough, and the rest will be assigned to the front and rear armies to fight. Ten generals in the central army are 20,000, and nine of them are from the Tiger and Lieutenant Army. You are too dark, right? Don’t do it so obvious if you want to preserve your strength, right? You are the general general manager, even if you are fearless, don’t be so arrogant, right? Are you a low-key? Do you want to make things messy and betrayal of your relatives?
Li Hu nodded repeatedly and accepted the suggestions of the local thieves, "I don't think about it. I originally thought that after going south, each army would have made outstanding achievements and should have increased its position. It turned out that one general had two generals and two generals had four generals. Who knew that you were kind-hearted and unwilling to enjoy the military achievements alone, so you insisted on charging with other brothers. Since that's the case, let's listen to you."
When the local thieves heard this, they were skeptical. If it was true or false, they wouldn't be lying to us again? Expanding the army means strength, money, and there is such a good thing?
"Who did the bitch raise just now and said there were fewer people? Who?" Dugu Feng jumped out again, his eyes glaring like a cow, and he was so proud that he was very angry. "My Dragon Army is willing to be the first to rush forward."
Huh... Everyone looked at each other with contempt. Just now, you, the big bear, barked the most fiercely, and when you turned your face, you turned into a big buffalo with red eyes.

The Xi Palace is in charge.
Xiao Gan was the king of the six Xi tribes. The king had a royal mansion, and the royal mansion was outside the royal mansion. Xiao Gan's business was originally in Tongchang, Chengzhou Prefecture. Because the Emperor of Liao issued an order to expedition in the east, he moved to Mount Tsu and was ready to launch an attack at any time. Unexpectedly, he did not receive the order for the attack, but received a bad news. The army that went north to encircle and suppress the rebels was severely damaged in the Jiu family and was defeated by the thief leader Li Hu.
The troops that entered Shangjing Road were all under Yelu Yuji, commanded by the deputy commander Han Funu. At first, it went smoothly and surrounded the rebels Luo Qinghan and Li Jin in the Jiujiazi. The deputy commander was very smart and came up with a plan to set up an ambush with the rebels of Jiujiazi as bait, preparing to fight the reinforcements of the rebels, intending to eat a fat man in one bite. The fat man really came, and it was Li Hu, the leader of the thief. However, Li Hu was treacherous and somehow discovered the ambush of the Liao people, and then lit a fire in the forest where the Liao army was ambushed. When the fire was burned, it was unstoppable. Only half of the eight thousand horse army of the ugly monk escaped, while Xie's 15,000 infantry soldiers were almost wiped out.
The defeat of the nine families led to the obstruction of the encirclement and suppression of the north. What's more serious is that it directly affected the plan of the Eastern Expedition.
The Eastern Expedition was concurrent with three routes. The attack from the Northeast Road was intended to block the Huangfa Mansion's army from the south to support Tokyo. If the Northeast Road was blocked, the army of the East Road and the South Road could not attack first, so as not to be exposed, which gave the Jin people a defense. The struggle in the palace tent is fierce now, and the main battle and the main peace faction are fighting happily. If the Eastern Expedition is blocked, it will undoubtedly be a blow to the main war faction and life will be even more difficult.
King Yelu Chun of Qin and Jin happened to arrive in Zhongjing. When he heard this bad news, he immediately ordered the news to be blocked and concealed and not reported. Except for some of his confidants, it was not allowed to leak it. He also ordered the northbound army to reorganize immediately, and meet with Yelu Mage, the commander of the Northeast Road, as quickly as possible, and then continue to attack Longhua without delay.
Xiao Gan was a good friend of Yelu Chun and was both a war-holder in the palace tent, so he received a secret letter from Yelu Chun and knew that the eastern expedition was blocked and worried. The Jurchens rose very quickly. The battle of Bubu Dagang was defeated by internal tents, which directly endangered the security of the country's destiny. Now the Han people in Liaodong have emerged again, and one died, Li Hong and another Li Hu, and one is stronger than the other. If Yelu Mage cannot pacify the rebels in the near future and the army on the northeast road has been unable to attack for a long time, it will inevitably cause doubts about the eastern expedition in the palace tent. The court struggle is the most terrible. The pro-war faction who has been at a disadvantage will be hit again if it is not done well. The eastern expedition will end without success. The pro-war faction's unremitting efforts to save the national fortune will be reeled again.

Xiao Gan couldn't sleep at night. Late that night, he was awakened by a burst of horse hooves. The scout sent emergency military information, and the rebels suddenly appeared in Weizhou and rushed towards the Tribulus Mountain.
Xiao Gan was shocked. How could this be possible? The rebels had just won a battle at the Jiu family. At this time, they should drink and eat meat in Longhua and prepare for the winter. How could they brave the cold and go south?
"Whose flag is it? How many people are there? Where is it now?" Xiao Gan asked hurriedly.
"Hundreds of thousands of people, the entire army stretched for more than 40 miles." The scout was so impressed by the mighty team that he opened his mouth and made a detailed description, "There are too many flags, Li Hu, Zhang Gao'er, Huo Liuge, Li Jin... He also saw the battle flags of the Tiger Lie Army, Heishan Army, Thunder Army, King of Hell Army, Shenlong Army and Yunshuo Army... After this army passed Weizhou, it was stationed in Xiaoquan River, forty miles from the defense line of Targasso Mountain."
It's so fast, it's already in front of you.
Xiao Gan calmed down and believed it. He lay on the map and watched for a long time. The more he looked, the colder he felt.
The rebels retreated south to Zhongjing Road with great situation in Shangjing Road, and with the help of the Jin people, there was only one explanation. The plan of the Eastern Expedition was leaked, and the Jurchens knew about it, so they tried to lure the rebels to Zhongjing Road, let the rebels take the lead for him and charge for him. Now the rebels are in great power. When they arrive at Zhongjing Road, the Liao army will have to encircle and suppress them, and the strategy of the Eastern Expedition will be delayed again. The Eastern Expedition has not yet begun, but they have encountered setbacks again and again, and the court struggle will become more and more fierce. It can be foreseen that as long as the rebels win one or two battles on Zhongjing Road, the emperor will change his mind and the Eastern Expedition will be permanently shelved.

Xiao Gan immediately wrote to Yelu Chun and asked the king to decide. At this moment, the verdict had left Shangjing Road, and Yelu Mage could successfully recover Longhua and then attack the Jin army. I stopped the rebels at the Tribulus Mountain, and Yelu Dashi could attack Tokyo from the direction of Jinzhou. Just wait for the king, Yelu Yuji to lead the army to meet, and he could kill the rebels and kill Tokyo with a force of unstoppable force. The strategy of the eastern expedition may have been leaked. Please ask the king to advance east quickly, and he may change later.
Xiao Gan also ordered the commander of the horse army of the six Xi tribes and the governor of each army to arrive at the tent to discuss the military affairs.
He also ordered the remaining troops of the Xingfu Army in Chengzhou to quickly go to Mount Tribulus to join the war. He ordered the remaining troops of the Changning Army in Chuanzhou to quickly arrive at Chengzhou to garrison.
Xiao Gan's confidant Yelu Aguzhe rushed to the tent first. He heard that the rebels had arrived at the Tribulus Mountain. He hesitated for a long time and asked in a low voice: "King, this is an emergency military situation, and we need to report to the palace tent at a quick moment."
