Chapter 231: Guerrilla Warfare That Frightened the Enemy
Wang Xiaosen's mansion became bustling. Hundreds of elite soldiers in black armor surrounded the mansion. Dozens of men and women in armor entered the mansion and exercised their power as masters without any hesitation, ordering the maids and servants to prepare hot water and hot meals.
After Luo Li was helped by Hong Gu and Si Yu to take a quick hot bath, she came to the front hall and sat at the dining table filled with delicacies from land and sea.
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor was already waiting with a greasy stomach, swallowing his saliva desperately, and watching his master pick up the chopsticks to pick up a piece of roe deer meat and put it into his mouth. After the etiquette of respecting the teacher and elders was completed, the Ghost Hand Poison Doctor picked up the chopsticks and began to gobble up the food voraciously.
When the delicious hot food was put into the mouth, it was pulled down by an invisible little hand in the stomach. Luo Li ate without raising her head. A bowl of chicken soup was brought to her mouth. "Eat slowly, drink a few mouthfuls of chicken soup." Qin Wang Zhao Defang's gentle voice was filled with heartache.
Luo Li looked up at him with a mouthful of food, smiled, swallowed the food, drank two mouthfuls of chicken soup from his hand, and said with emotion: "I thought the gluttonous bugs in my stomach had starved to death and frozen to death after eating cold water and hard biscuits for the past few days, but after encountering these hot and delicious dishes, they have all come back to life."
Yang Yanzhao, who was eating in a reserved manner, was amused by the funny princess, but he did not feel any contempt or disgust in his heart. The princess of Qin, who had been pampered in the capital since she was a child, was able to endure such hardships, which was admirable and respectable.
Yang Yanqi knocked Luo Li's head with chopsticks, "Luo, you idiot. It doesn't matter if the glutton in your stomach starves to death, but the spiritual insect in your brain must not starve to death or freeze to death. We have hundreds of mouths to feed in the Big Foot Women's Army, and we are counting on your magical brain to make a lot of money to feed them!"
Luo Li, who never suffered a loss, raised her hand and slapped her thigh, "If you break my smart head, be careful that Gao Ruoying will chop off your claws."
Feeling two unfriendly eyes sweeping over him, Yang Yanqi pouted and said indignantly, "There's no need for Gao Ruoying to cut off my claws. Your Prince Qin is already unhappy and his eyes are murderous. Brother, the couple teamed up to bully me, and you didn't protect your sister at all."
Yang Yanzhao smiled awkwardly and spoke to defend his daughter, "Little sister, don't fight with the princess in front of the prince in the future. It's two against one, and you will always suffer."
Seeing the prince's cold and indifferent eyes sweeping over him, Yang Yanzhao quickly changed his words, "The prince is a kind and generous person, how could he care about you!"
Seeing that his second brother was scared, Yang Yanqi bravely challenged him, "If the prince dares to argue with me, I will encourage my Luo to be stupid and give him the cold shoulder and not be intimate with him."
"Puff..." Luo Li spurted out the hot chicken soup she had just drunk. "Yanqi, I will listen to you. As long as he makes you angry, I will give him the cold shoulder if you ask me to, and I will not be intimate with him if you ask me not to be intimate with him."
Yang Yanqi looked at the King of Qin triumphantly, with pride and complacency written all over his face.
Qin Wang Zhao Defang gave a helpless bitter smile and respectfully raised his wine glass, "Miss Yang, I offer you a glass of wine. Please be generous and be gentle with your words."
Yang Yanqi was so happy that she picked up the wine glass with dignity, "Okay, okay, as long as you can respect me and Gao Ruoying, we will help you say good things in front of Luo Naocan, let her be intimate with you more, and give birth to a baby soon."
Seeing that his sister, an unmarried girl, was getting more and more outrageous, Yang Yanzhao quickly scolded her, "Yanqi, watch your words and actions!"
Yang Yanqi stuck out her tongue mischievously, turned her head and complained to Luo Li, "Luo Li, I was led astray by you, a moron. I was scolded by my second brother and father for this. You are responsible for this!"
Luo Li picked up a piece of chicken and put it in her bowl, "I'll give you a piece of chicken as compensation, eat it quickly! All the food on the table has been eaten by the ghost hand, and they are not afraid of bursting their stomachs."
The Ghost Hand Poison Doctor, with his mouth full of beef, looked up at his master and shook his head, mumbling, "It can't be burst,... I'm not full yet!" His chopsticks continued to reach out to the plate of beef.
The four thousand soldiers rested leisurely in Wuzhou City for two days. The King of Qin ordered Wu Xing to lead people to open the official warehouse in the city and release grain. The silver and money confiscated from the government treasury and the homes of officials and wealthy people were also distributed to the poor Han people. The gold was taken away and used as a small treasury to reward the soldiers.
Amid the miserable wailings of officials and local tyrants in the city, and while the poor Han people were happily hiding the money and food they had been allocated, after satisfying their desire to beat the local tyrants and equalize the rich and the poor, King Qin Zhao Defang led 4,000 brave warriors and left Wuzhou City.
Yelu Xiezhen, the Liao army's Grand Marshal who had already led 40,000 troops to Weizhou City, was so angry that he almost vomited blood after receiving the news!
The Song army launched the Northern Expedition in a hurry. After learning the news, the Liao Kingdom was caught off guard and responded hastily. The strategy that the emperor and his ministers discussed overnight was to deal with the weak eastern front first when fighting on two fronts due to insufficient troops. Empress Dowager Xiao personally led 40,000 troops to support the eastern front, and temporarily lured the enemy deep into the western front, and then organized a counterattack after the troops from all directions were summoned and gathered.
Now, the Queen Mother and Yelu Xiuge have defeated the Song army on the eastern front, and pursued them into the territory of the Song State. She led the army to counterattack from the west, and the Song army will surely be defeated. Maybe she can take the opportunity to plunder the Song land and march to the Song capital Bianjing. For the Liao State, the situation is very good.
The battle on the western front, which he personally commanded as the Grand Marshal, turned out to be such a mess. Not only did the frontline defenders fail to resist effectively, but they also lost four states. Now when they were gathering elite troops from various states to prepare for a counterattack, the tens of thousands of elite troops that had gathered in Weizhou were lost in such a mess.
"Qin Wang Zhao Defang and the little thief Yang Yanzhao are so hateful!
Xiao Suoteng, Yelu Qi, I order you two to lead 10,000 elite light cavalry each to encircle and suppress the King of Qin and Yang Yanzhao! I will bring 20,000 troops to attack Yingzhou and Yunzhou.
Our Western Army must fight bravely and make a quick decision to recapture the four states, enter Song territory from Yanmen Pass, and work with the Queen Mother and Marshal Yelu Xiuge to destroy the Western Army of Song. After uniting our forces, we will march towards Bianjing, the capital of Song!"
Marshal Yelu Xiezhen's words made the soldiers' blood boil. Who wouldn't want to go to the capital of Song Dynasty and plunder it? They raised their arms and shouted: "Fight bravely and march to Bianjing!"
In the following days, the King of Qin and Yang Yanzhao split their forces into two groups. The two elite cavalry units were like two ghost killers, appearing and disappearing like ghosts. After capturing a small county town where two or three hundred Liao soldiers were stationed, they rested for a day, and after satisfying their desire to beat the local tyrants and equalize the rich and the poor, when the Liao army arrived, they had already disappeared.
The Liao Dynasty's brave generals Xiao Suoteng and Yelu Qi each led 10,000 elite light-armored cavalry to encircle and suppress the Song army, but their campaign turned out to be a game of being led by the nose.
During the strolling game, Yang Yanzhao led two thousand Volcano Army and suddenly rushed into the weakly manned Xinzhou City. They opened the government's granary and silver vaults and distributed them to the Han people. They also looted the granaries and silver vaults of the Khitan nobles in the city and distributed them to the Han people. He then indulged in his desire to beat the local tyrants and equalize the rich and the poor.
By the time Xiao Suoteng arrived after hearing the news, Yang Yanzhao's Volcano Army had already fled away, leaving behind only the ruins in the city and the miserable cries of the Khitan nobles.
During the stroll, Qin Wang Zhao Defang led 2,000 Moyun cavalrymen to the rear of Weizhou and intercepted a grain transport team that was transporting grain and grass to Weizhou City. The 2,000 Liao soldiers transporting grain and grass were wiped out, and hundreds of carts of grain and grass were burned clean.
When Yelu Qi heard the news and led his troops to the scene, he saw only corpses of Liao soldiers scattered all over the ground, and the food and supplies were still emitting smoke from not being completely burned.
When Yelu Xiezhen personally led his troops to attack Yunzhou City, which had high walls and was easy to defend but difficult to attack, the 1,000 Huoshan troops in the city had already retreated and moved, leaving an empty city for the Liao army.
Yelu Xiezhen yelled "Wow!" and finally vented a little of his anger. Then he was frightened again. Qin Wang Zhao Defang and Yang Yanzhao were really cunning. This elusive tactic was really annoying and a headache.
