Chapter 905 The Battle of Liaodong
Besides, Li Fu, since he received the imperial order in front of the imperial court before the battle, he knew that this battle was going to be fought, and at the same time, there was a bold idea that he was eager to try.
When I arrived at the Liaodong station, this idea became more vivid in my mind.
When everyone thought that the ice and snow would make the two sides a truce for the coming year, Li Fu even firmed up the idea of a cold winter raid.
As early as when he first arrived in Liaodong, before he fought against Jurchen, he secretly instructed his confidants to pick out a total of 5,000 raiders from the various armies.
These five thousand people are all skilled in bowing and horses, strong in body, and most importantly, able to withstand severe cold.
The 5,000 people selected were secretly sent to a certain base for special training, just for that unexpected blow.
When the two sides fought several times, each with their own winners and losers, and after a heavy snowfall for several days, the time had entered the cold winter unknowingly.
Therefore, the two sides had to temporarily truce.
The imperial army led by Li Fu also retreated to the garrison.
Even in the surrounding cities and towns, because it is close to Jurchen, it is not difficult for Jurchen to install spies into the city.
Li Fu's management of the garrison was tight on the inside and loose on the outside. Naturally, there were many sergeants in the garrison who complained about the court, the misery of the war, and the extreme cold in Liaodong. Naturally, there were no complaints. The exceptions reached the ears of the Jurchen spies, and then passed them back to the Jurchen tribe through the spies.
In order not to make the Jurchen suspicious, Li Fu also ordered people to investigate the Jurchen spies several times in the city, and caught a lot of them and killed them.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Li Fu even put on a good New Year's attitude to relieve the homesickness of the soldiers, and ordered the Huotoujun to purchase various ingredients, rice and noodles.
And he himself also bought many special products from local merchants, such as mink fur, ginseng, deerskin, dried sturgeon, dried fruits such as pine nuts and hazelnuts, dried wild vegetables such as bracken and pine mushrooms, and mountain delicacies such as wood ear mushrooms, etc. Toad oil, rare shells such as agate, amber, beeswax, etc., are simply big purchases by high rollers!
Moreover, he cheerfully said that he bought it and brought it back to his wife when he asked, and his wife liked these things, and he always had to bring something back when he came here.
Hearing the crowd fell.
The Jurchen spies returned these 1510 lessons, and the leaders of the Jurchen headquarters all burst into laughter, all kinds of ridicule and ridicule, and immediately gave birth to a little contempt for Li Fu.
A general who leads troops out to fight and is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, is so happy that he makes a big purchase like a squirrel moving house to store food in order to please a woman. Is this still a man?
Only an idiot like the Great Zhou Emperor would reuse such a soft egg, and if it was Jurchen, such a person would have been killed long ago!
So far, the Jurchen people are completely relieved.
After all, for a man like this who is dedicated to purchasing gifts for his wife, no one will believe that he still has the mind to fight, and that he will die!
The Jurchen then prepared the New Year's affairs with peace of mind, while not forgetting to do all kinds of military preparations, preparing to make Da Zhou a waste in the coming year, and then take advantage of the victory to force Da Zhou to cede land and pay indemnities.
It's a pity that their dream ended on the night of the 25th day of the twelfth lunar month.
There was no snow that night, but the wind was raging, and the outside was still full of snow, and it was icy and snowy.
However, in such bad weather, a large Zhou cavalry, whose horses were wrapped in felt cloth, almost fell from the sky in the middle of the night, burned their food and grass, released their horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, burned their large camp, and Their most elite warriors were killed in their sleep...
Even the eleven members of their leader's family were all killed in the sea of fire or arrows, and no one was spared!
The damaged bosses are even more numerous!
Until this moment, they still can't believe that all this is true, can't believe that the soldiers of Da Zhou dare to attack in such weather! I can't believe that the great general who was so happy to buy all kinds of gifts for his wife actually led the troops and sent them to hell!
When the report of good news was delivered to Emperor Jiande of the Zhou Dynasty when it was just dark on New Year's Eve, Emperor Jiande was overjoyed!
To say that there were many victories in the Great Week, but the good news delivered on New Year's Eve was also equivalent to sending a good luck and good omen for the New Year, but there had never been one, how could he not be happy?
His joy, whether it is real or false, the whole city is happy.
Everyone couldn't help but think of Lian Fangzhou's rioting at Liang Yushi's mansion not long ago, and they felt complicated for a while.
In the Zhu family, everyone's heart is inevitably more complicated.
Zhu Yuying was finally brought back to the house during the Chinese New Year, and the family had a lively and happy dinner not long ago. Who knew that this news fell from the sky, like a blockbuster bomb was dropped on the Zhu family!
The explosion made everyone's faces extremely ugly, and even the family felt embarrassed.
Zhu Yuying thought that all Li Fu's honors now belonged to Lian Fangzhou, and she screamed in pain, smashing the jade-colored tea cup in her hand without thinking, bit her lip, turned her head and ran out.
That country girl is just like a shrew, why, why does she have such luck and fortune!
Why is she!
The cold wind was blowing on her face, and Zhu Yuying, who was filled with anger and jealousy, did not feel cold at all, but felt hot, hot, and the fire in her heart seemed to come from hell, tormenting her. heart of.
She tasted the sweet and fishy smell in her mouth, she bit her lip, and the tears fell unsatisfactorily: Could it be that this is life? By accident, she missed everything, but that country woman took a huge advantage! Could it be that she can't fight for this life in her life!
Zhu Yuying held onto the rockery in front of her violently, and her delicate and beautiful hand held the roughness of the rockery tightly without feeling any pain.
Tears poured out of her eyes when her nose was sour. It was obviously hot tears, but when they flowed out of her eyes, it immediately became cold, just like her desperate heart at the moment.
Zhu Yuying suppressed a low choked sob, and there was a soft sigh behind her. She froze all over when she heard her third brother, who had always loved her, sigh, "Yinger, don't be sad."
Zhu Yuying ignored the tears on her face, and looked up with a bit of embarrassment. She looked pitifully at Third Young Master Zhu, and said with tears, "Third brother, all of this should have been mine, it was mine! Third brother , If his wife is me at this moment, it would be great to get such news! How happy our Zhu family should be! Third brother, it should not be like this!"
"Ying'er..." Third Young Master Zhu felt even more sad, gritted his teeth, and said bitterly, "That woman is really cunning, the third brother will never let her go so easily! Just wait patiently, She, huh!"
