After Li Cunxu had mobilized before the war, the enthusiastic generals of Jin State immediately led their troops, set off from Xin'an City, heading north, preparing to fight against the Khitan.

On the Anxi side of Dingzhou, Yelu Abaoji learned that the vanguard army was defeated by the Jin army general Li Siyuan, and he could roughly confirm that the Jin army had entered Dingzhou. He also intended to fight to the death with him, so he immediately mobilized the army and advanced southward.

The two sides have invested hundreds of thousands of troops, and the number of troops varies greatly. In the end, it is inconvenient to bring the army to the same place, and then fight one after another to decide the outcome... The choice between the two sides will not only proceed at one point, but will involve the competition for key passes around, which will also become the key to determining success or failure.

The Khitan general Xiao Aguzhi led 50,000 troops to head south soon. He was about to fight with Li Sizhao, who occupied a corner of Wuji, Dingzhou. In addition, the Khitan army had also arrived in a corner of the mulberry forest in the north of Xin'an County.

The Khitan army that was about to meet the Jin army led by Li Cunxu was soon. Most of the generals and soldiers in the marching were covered with dirty and stinky furs and wore various weapons. The army was almost all dressed up in hair. However, unlike the ordinary Khitan tribes, the troop was often pulled by cattle, and the front was wide and the back was narrow, with a large wheel hub. There were also wooden sheds on it, covering the vehicles with felt silk.

After all, according to the proverb of the Xi tribe that many tribes have conquered the Khitan today: "The horse is the foot of a man, and the cart is the foot of the family." This army composed of the Xi people not only uses the Xi chariots that are good at making only for animal husbandry, but also often uses the Xi chariots to carry baggage during war seasons.

As a descendant of the Yuwen tribe of the Xianbei tribe, the customs and language of the Yuwen tribe at that time were quite different from those of other tribes. Even the appearance of hair was completely different from that of other tribes in Xianbei tribes (with hair disguised and hair-like hairstyles that were somewhat similar to those of later generations). Later, after the Southern and Northern Dynasties and Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the same blood as the ancestors of the Khitan Diela tribe who belonged to Yelu Abaoji.

Therefore, Yelu Abaoji led Khitan to strengthen his power and to conquer the surrounding tribes and expand his territory, he must first win over the submissions of the Xi tribes with both soft and hard.

However, the Xi people at this time were not as good as that of the Khitan as in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Now the Khitan has successively conquered and imposed various tribes of Xi tribes and implemented harsh rule, which has caused the Xi people to resent and revolt against uprising.

Now it is also in the stage where Yelu Abaoji has launched a large-scale suppression of the Xi tribe, forcing the Xi tribe to not dare to resist again, and have to surrender and then go to Huairou to appease. Even in the Song Dynasty, Mi Xin, a Xi tribe, joined the Northern Expedition of Yongxi as a general of the Song Dynasty army, so the Xi tribes have not yet been assimilated by the Khitan.

However, Tusui, the general who commanded the Xi army, had a mace forehand, continued to march southward with his son-in-law. He was born with a particularly strong figure, like a bear in the white mountains and black waters. He was about to fight fiercely with the Jin army, and Tusui's face was full of excitement.

After all, the Xi people from various tribes have different attitudes towards the Khitan. As representative figures of the tribe leaders who surrendered to Yelu Abaoji, according to the official trajectory, Tusui would lead more than 10,000 cavalry to cross the defense line formed by You, Zhuo, Yi and other military prefectures, and plunder the land of Youyun. He even allowed King Li Cunxu, King of Jin, to be in danger for a while, so he was also the vanguard of Yelu Abaoji's command to fight against Jin (Later Tang).

Twenty miles north of the Xi army led by Tusui, more than 10,000 Khitan tribes were on the way. The commander of this army was named Yelu Su, who was the half-brother of Yelu Abaoji, the king of the Khitan Kingdom.

In fact, according to the historical records, Yelu Abaoji would have brought his eldest son Yelu Bei and fourth son Yelu Yaliguo with the army to the south to fight against Jin State. However, because now he turned his attention to Middle Earth, it was a long time earlier than the original trajectory. Therefore, Yelu Bei and Yelu Yaliguo are still young at present. Yelu Abaoji's younger brother Yelu Su was still sharing the worries of the king and commanded the troops to fight.

Previously, Liu Shouwen, the governor of the Henghai Army, vowed to send troops to attack Liu Shouguang, the brother who launched a mutiny to imprison him, but was killed and lost. He had to ask the Khitan for reinforcements. Even according to the official history line, Yelu Abaoji ordered Yelu Su to arrange troops and interfere in the civil strife of Lu Long's army. However, due to the Wei Dynasty and the joint dispatch of troops from both sides of the Jin State, he had to retreat to the north of the border... Yelu Su was of course also angry and urgently wanted to find the Jin army to find the place.

Yelu Su and Tusui led their troops to Xin'an Sanglin. The Jin army heading north was also close to this territory...

"Report! Li Duzhi, the light cavalry of the Beixia army has been discovered, and the enemy has arrived in the north. Then twenty miles north, a group of Khitan troops have also been deployed one after another. It seems that they are supporting each other, with a total of 20,000 troops. Our scouts from the north 11 or 20 miles north have already fought with the enemy's whistle horses. Beizhi came to report on the military situation, how to meet the enemy, and asked Li Duzhi to order!"

Originally in the forefront of the Jin army, a light cavalry scout urged the horse to come and reported to the generals who were commanding the group of troops. This Jin army general had a face with a tiger-shaped face, a tiger-back, a bear-back, and a strong armor all over his body. He just saw that he was very majestic. He is now a member of the Yunzhong Defense Envoy, and is known to all states such as Yun, Wei, Ying, Shuo, etc. According to the later Romance, it was also Li Siben, the sixth Taibao of Li Keyong among the Thirteen Taibaos.

"Hey! Has the Khitan Yi Clan finally arrived? Brother Siyuan had won for a while before, and now it's our turn to slash the enemy's spirit again."

Li Si's side had finished his deep thoughts and tried his best to take the initiative to go north. He led his troops and horses to come and Shi Jianyan immediately urged the horse to come forward. He looked ferocious and said with gritted teeth:

"Li Du Zhi, my father was killed by the Khitan thief. I should fight the front line and lead my men to fight. If I can kill one more Khitan dog, I can at least vent my hatred in my heart!"

"Brother Jianyan, although you are not the righteous ones you received by your adoptive father, you are the sons and ministers of Shi Jieshuai and his adoptive father are actually brothers. And our descendants have always been treated as their own brothers!

What's more, although Cun Jinyi's brother died in a confrontation with Zhang Wenli, the dog-thief rebels, his blood debt is also counted on the Khitan! In addition, Shi Jieshuai's revenge is not just yours!"

After thinking about it, Li Siben first appeased Shi Jianyan, and then said:

"After all, the Khitan launched a large number of 300,000 troops, and wanted to revenge and fight, not just this battle. This time, the enemy still relied on its power and unscrupulously led its troops to Xin'an Sanglin. If I were to face the enemy first, I would be anxious to eat my Yun and Shuo troops.

I still have to fight this headline. And you can lead your cavalry to ambush in a hidden place, wait for an opportunity to attack, and directly attack the enemy's midfield! After all, you are praised as the vanguard in the army. Of course, I am not as good as you in the ability to destroy the front and break the formation, kill the generals and seize the flag. I am of course not as good as you. I will capture the king first to capture the thief, and you will be more sure to lead the cavalry to attack the enemy's chief general. If it can cause chaos in the Khitan command and take advantage of the situation to cover it up, wouldn't you be more able to kill?"

Shi Jianyan, who was originally chewing blood through gums and was bound to attack this front, was temporarily silent when he heard this. He knew very well that he was good at leading the cavalry and was the leader of the enemy. The former king Li Siben was not only a brave general who was good at leading the cavalry. He also used strategies in military affairs, and could also be said to be a general with both wisdom and courage. So even if he was eager to avenge his father, Li Siben planned and deployed it in the war, which was relatively safer... Shi Jianyan nodded vigorously and said:

"Okay! Just act according to Li Duzhi's arrangement! We will work together this time, and we will inevitably make the wild pigs and dogs come and go without a return!"
