Chapter 517
In early March, the weather was already hot.And with the Liangshan Army locking the city of Gaobi in Zhuozhou, the situation on the Khitan Nanjing Road took a sharp turn for the worse.

First, the freed-up Liangshan Army swept through Liangxiang, Fangshan and other counties at an extremely fast speed. These places were empty, making it easy for the Liangshan Army to win.If so, the morale of the army is higher.

Secondly, Lu Qian led more than [-] men on foot and rode straight to the city of Nanjing.

There were also 2 Liao troops in Nanjing City, but they only dared to watch Lu Qian showing off his power outside, and his soldiers would fight again and again, and did not dare to step out of the city.

Emperor Tianzuo felt that his face was being slapped violently by Lu Qian's big ears, and it was about to swell.He didn't believe that Lu Qian didn't hear the news of "Wu Yanguang was defeated and reprimanded, demoted to prison, and died of illness in prison".Although Wu Yanguang, the leader of the Eleven Star Generals, died a little sooner, it made people feel that there was something fake in it.But what this matter means is extremely clear!
Now Emperor Tian Zuo felt angry that Lu Qian did not play cards according to the rules.And the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom in Nanjing were equally angry.Although the Khitan was in decline, they felt ashamed to be stepped on by a thief like Lu Qian to show off their power, shit and piss.

Especially when the news of the massacre in Baozhou came, the Khitan nobles would not explain the reason for the period to the people below, let alone say that Lu Qian was just killing the Liao army who fought in Baozhou that day, and the people from Ansu and Guangxin The garrison soldiers will not kill those who surrender.He only blindly preached that Lu Qian wanted to kill all the Khitans. The [-] soldiers in the city were so excited that they fought against the Liangshan Army to the end!

Wu Yanguang, whose name was changed to Yelu Yanguang, persuaded: "Your Majesty, calm down. The Lu thief is just setting up a stage on the Nantian Gate to sing high-profile. You can see that he only shouts at the bottom of the city, but never sends troops to actually attack the city. I'm a real idiot. And his clamor like this can only enrage the warriors in my city, and everyone is indignant. At this time, the more His Majesty can't bear it, the more excited the army is, like the flood that floods, the more blocked, It will become even more unstoppable when it breaks its dikes and dams. The same is true for the army in our city today. Why do you worry, Your Majesty?"

Yelu Yanguang deserves to be Emperor Tianzuo's confidant, not only because of his good skills, but also because he is too familiar with Emperor Tianzuo. "According to my servants' observations over the past few days, Lu Qian's bandits have repeatedly divided their troops to plunder the southeast. It is for money and food. Because our army only focuses on defending the city, it makes them more arrogant and negligent. The people who divided the troops out From the initial 2000 people, it has risen to 5000 people. It is expected that there will be more troops in the future. Your Majesty can send thousands of fine cavalry to attack and kill them while they are unprepared. Then spread rumors that they have ordered the frontiers The army returns to King Qin, and the reinforcements will arrive soon. Lu Qian also knows that the troops in his hands cannot defeat Nanjing, and if he is frustrated, he will die. At that time..." Yelu Yanguang did not finish speaking, but Emperor Tianzuo No matter how stupid your brain is, you can still hear the meaning behind those two words.At that time, it will depend on the skill of the mouth.

And without mentioning the final result, as long as he can defeat Lu Qian for a while and suppress the arrogance of the bandit army, Emperor Tianzuo will be as refreshed as drinking ice water in the three-month period!
"Okay, this is a great plan!" Excited, he raised his head to look at Yelu Yujian, who folded his fists and bowed. Yelu Yanguang's plan was really good, and he couldn't say anything. "I'm afraid that I will fall into the trick of the land thief to lure the enemy."

Yelu Yanguang laughed when he heard this, "Our army is all cavalry everywhere, and they know the geography well. How can we not escape if we can't defeat them?" Yelu Yu was speechless when he saw it.

Emperor Tian Zuo was even more happy when he saw that the two members of Yiwei Humerus, the heroic generals, had the same views.

At this time, in Lu Qian's army, a Liangshan army of 5000 men was leading the horses and carrying food, and returned to the camp happily.This is exactly the team that Lu Qian sent out to loot.

But as the chief generals of this army, Generals Liu Tang and Li Ying looked a little gloomy.

When the two returned to the camp, they first went to the big tent to give orders to Lu Qian.Hearing that they had looted more than 300 cattle and horses, [-] carts of grain, and more than [-] sheep today, Lu Qian was very moved. This amount corresponded to the troops of the Liangshan Army dispatched, but it was too small.But he still smiled and said: "Come here, kill all the sheep you got, and then pick twenty fat cows to reward the whole army." He didn't hesitate to plunder.He called Generals Liu Tang and Li Ying to take their seats.

The red-haired ghost was straightforward and didn't take his seat. Standing under the tent, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, let me tell you the truth, most of the people around Nanjing City know that our army is stealing livestock, food and rice, and they all fled away regardless of whether they are rich or poor. .In addition, most of the rich and powerful people have already fled into the city, or fled to the north. If the army plunders them again, they will really have to ask for food from the hands of the common people.”

In the past few days, Liang Shanjun's target was the rich and powerful manors, large and small pastures outside Nanjing City, and wealthy landlords of the two ethnic groups.It didn't directly attack the common people.But this wealth is limited, and it cannot be regrown tomorrow if it is harvested today.Up to now, although it was only a few days, those Han and Khitan landlords and nobles had heard the news, and those who had not fled into the city beforehand abandoned their homes and fled.This has to be done next, but it is necessary to target the common people.

Of course, the red-haired ghost would not treat the people here as the same as the Han people in the Central Plains, but looking at the people outside the city who were wearing Han clothes and speaking Chinese, it was really difficult to make a move.

You know, the Liangshan Army has always claimed to be a righteous army, an army of eliminating violence and peace, and now it suddenly wants to rob ordinary people, even if these ordinary people are 'foreigners', it feels against peace.Not to mention that these 'common people' are all Han Chinese.

Lu Qian naturally understood the meaning of Liu Tang's words, and said with a smile: "The food in the hands of the common people around Nanjing City has long been expropriated by the Khitan dignitaries. For my army, it’s a drop in the bucket.”

"Could it be that you won't do this business in the future?" Liu Tang was delighted.

The smile on Lu Qian's lips became even more obvious.But instead of answering, he turned his head and gestured for Xu Guanzhong to answer.

"Has General Liu ever fished?"

The red-haired ghost Zhang Er monk was puzzled, what did this matter have to do with whether he had caught fish before? "What do you mean by the military advisor's words?"

Xu Guanzhong was only missing a goose feather fan, "If you can't catch the bait, how can the fish eat the hook?"

"General Liu, General Li, the king sent you two to plunder livestock, money and food, that is to lay the bait."

Liu Tang and Li Ying glanced at each other, their eyes were full of light, "Your Majesty wants to lure the Liao army out of the city?" In this way, the roles they played would be heavyweight.

"Nanjing City's defenses are solid, and the people in the city are united, and our army is limited in strength, so it is difficult to defeat them in a short period of time. But on the scene, it is better than Khitan and forced Emperor Tianzuo to bow his head, which can also make me feel proud in the Central Plains. This is Throwing bricks to attract jade." Lu Qian said, this is enough for him to win the hearts of soldiers and civilians in Hebei.

After all, I am the one who makes the comparison here.This is not afraid of not knowing the goods, but afraid of comparing goods.With the old Zhao family as a comparison, Lu Qian should not look too imposing.

And whose people don't want to raise their heads and be human?It is also one of the ways to be king outside and saint inside.

These days, the Secretary of Xuanzheng has entered Hebei on a large scale.Regulate and rectify Washi vocal music in Fucheng, Qizhou City, especially storytellers.Zhao Da, who bullied orphans and widowed mothers, and Zhao Er, who was in power with the sound of the candle shadow and axe, became the protagonists of the Zhao Song royal family.But as far as the entire market is concerned, the Zhao brothers are still just supporting roles.The protagonists are Han and Tang Xiongfeng, Wei Qinghuo Qubing, Li Jing, Li Ji, Xue Rengui, Emperor Wu of the Han and Emperor Taizong of Tang.Corresponding to Zhao Er's Northern Expedition, corresponding to Song Zhenzong's uselessness, exaggerating the heroism from entertainment.

Although it has no effect in the short term, this propaganda is better than ever.

Of course, Lu Qian's "great achievements" must also be indispensable.With Da Counseling as a comparison, and Mo Yong's repeated words of obeying orders, Lu Qian won the hearts of the people in Hebei for a long time.

It is difficult to tell clearly what happened during this period. Who is in control of some things has the most authority and has the final say.After a period of deliberation, it really became more difficult to find.

Just like Mo Yong, just like Zhang Bangchang, just like the so-called Liao-Song Alliance.How do the common people know what is true and what is false? It’s not because who has the final say even though they speak loudly?

The Xuanzheng Department now has the Lu Qi regime endorsed for them, and holds the power of life and death in the market, who would dare not follow?Ask Nahua City Teahouse to set up a newspaper doctor to read government orders, policies and news newspapers every day, so who would dare not listen?

As for the so-called scholastics, Lu Qian discovered early on that the "scholars" in peace were the scholastics in his memory.When the world is in turmoil and people's livelihood is dying, Shihlin is nothing!
With these backgrounds, Lu Qian only needs to "beat" the Khitan army outside the city of Nanjing, and then he can return south from the Liao army with pride.Whether Emperor Tianzuo bowed his head or not is already secondary.After all, is the 'culprit' Wu Yanguang already dead?

"If the Liao army wants to send troops, it can only be cavalry. They will go out of the city with lightning speed and deal a severe blow to my soldiers who go out." Xu Guanzhong opened a map, but it was half of the city centered on Nanjing City. Nanjing road map.

"If our army wants to outperform the Liao cavalry, regardless of other things, we must first be able to support our army until the reinforcements arrive." If the soldiers who went out were defeated by the Liao army's cavalry before the reinforcements arrived, Lu Qian Not only is the bamboo basket empty for fetching water, but it is also a loss of rice.

"The two generals have important responsibilities and must not slack off."

The map that Xu Guanzhong spread out has already marked many crosses, Liu Tang and Li Ying are very clear, those places are the places they have searched these days, and most of them are concentrated on the east and south sides of Nanjing City , which is the nearest place to the Liangshan army camp.

Now there are only west and north sides left, and the west side of Nanjing City has many hills and mountains, which is obviously not as rich as the other three sides, so the north side has become a must.And it is precisely here that it is the farthest away from the Liangshan Army's camp.
