When the Liao State's Yuanbanzi discovered Liangshan's troops and horses, Liangshan's investigators had also discovered the Liao State's cavalry.
When Lu Junyi heard that a large group of Liao cavalry had appeared, he quickly ordered the infantry to form formation on the spot.
The only way for the Song Dynasty infantry to fight against the Liao cavalry was to form a dense formation and use powerful crossbows to kill the Liao cavalry. If they were attacked by the Liao cavalry before forming a formation, the Song army would be defeated.
When Chao Yong led the Chinese army to catch up, the front army was already in formation and waiting.
Chao Yong greeted Lu Junyi, who was coming up to him, and asked, "Is there any movement among the Liao soldiers and horses?"
Lu Junyi shook his head and said: "The Liao army was chasing the soldiers and horses of Zengtou City. After they detected our army, they stopped chasing the soldiers and horses of Zengtou City. They gathered their troops and continuously sent scouts and horses to find out information about our army."
Chao Yong couldn't help but be startled when he heard that he was chasing Zengtou City soldiers and horses.
Dong Ping said, "No matter where the soldiers and horses are after him, if these Liao dogs dare to cross the border, they may come to rob our people again. I will ask for orders to lead troops to destroy these Liao dogs."
Although Liangshan has enmity with Zengtou City, and the Liao army is chasing Zengtou City, although it is said that the enemy's enemy is an ally. But in Chao Yong's view, Liangshan and Zengtou City are just a battle between the Han people
, but the Liao army was a foreign invasion.
When Chao Yong heard that the Liao army was coming across the border, his first reaction was to destroy this Liao army. However, as the commander-in-chief, he had to think about the safety of the soldiers of the three armies and asked: "Can you find out how many people there are in the Liao army?"
?”
Lu Junyi said: "Because the other party's probing horses are blocking it, our army's probing horses cannot reach the vicinity. However, the Liao army that has been probing is all cavalry, and the number may not be less than two thousand."
When Chao Yong heard this, he frowned and said, "There are so many Liao cavalry, so we may not have a good chance of winning if we attack rashly."
When Dong Ping was about to say more, he saw a few cavalrymen carrying a Liao cavalry man coming to the front of the formation to ask for an audience.
Li Kui immediately said: "I have only heard that Liao dogs bully us Han people, but I have never seen them. I will cut off this beard."
Chao Yong glared at Li Kui and said, "Let him come over."
With an order, the tight formation separated into a path.
When the Liao cavalry arrived in front of Chao Yong, he said in fluent Chinese: "On the order of Da Shi Linya, the military governor of the Liao Dynasty, I invite the leaders of your army to meet two miles to the north."
"Yelü Dashi?"
"Exactly."
Chao Yong became interested when he heard that the general commanding the Liao army opposite was actually Yelu Dashi.
The only figure he had an impression of in the late Liao Dynasty was Yelu Dashi. When the Liao Kingdom was declining, he led tens of thousands of remnant soldiers to defeat Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops. The Zhao and Song Dynasties, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, suffered a bloody blow.
, which also allowed the Liao Kingdom to linger for a while. After the demise of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi led hundreds of remaining soldiers to flee to West Asia and established the Western Liao Dynasty, whose territory once spanned thousands of miles.
Yelu Dashi can be said to be the only outstanding figure in the late Liao Dynasty.
Chao Yong also wanted to see why this legendary figure made an appointment with him, so he smiled and said: "I'll report back to your Lin Ya and tell him that Liangshan Chao Yong will go to the appointment."
When the Liao soldiers heard that Chao Yong had accepted the invitation, they also retreated.
"Dong Ping is willing to lead his cavalry and follow Brother Yong."
"Hua Rong is also willing to go with us."
…
Chao Yong looked at everyone and said with a smile: "I will go alone to attend the appointment, and you will lead the troops here to be on guard."
Lin Chong heard this and said hurriedly: "Brother Yong is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. How can he go into danger alone? Even if he doesn't lead the army, he will also lead Dong Ping's cavalry army to ensure that everything is safe."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "If Yelu Dashi went alone, we would not laugh at him if we mobilize the troops. Besides, if the Liao army has evil intentions, how can they stop me?"
Everyone wanted to persuade them again, but Chao Yong already said: "Okay, you guys stay here and be on guard, I'll come back when I'm gone."
After saying that, he rode out of the battle and headed north.
After Yelu Dashi sent a soldier who could speak Chinese to invite the leader of Liangshan, he led several soldiers to the meeting place.
After hearing reports from his own soldiers that the leader of Liangshan's army was a young general of seventeen or eighteen years old, Yelu Dashi guessed who was leading the army based on the intelligence.
Yelu Dashi deliberately did not let his soldiers tell him how many people he had brought, just to see the opponent's courage. If Liang Shantou came with a large army and there was a conflict, as long as they did not fall into siege, Yelu Dashi was confident that with their riding skills, they could also
You can leave safely.
Unexpectedly, Chao Yong came here alone, which made him look timid.
Yelu Dashi signaled his soldiers to stay where they were, and rode up to them alone.
Chao Yong also saw Yelu Dashi and his entourage, and immediately slowed down his horse speed.
A horse's body is gathered together, and both of them rein in the horse at the same time.
Yelu Dashi cupped his fists and said, "The little overlord is so brave, Yelu Dashi admires him."
Chao Yong also clasped his fists and returned the greeting: "I have heard that Lin Ya Dashi is both civilized and martial, and is proficient in Chinese. Even if I come to the Central Plains, I can be a Jinshi. When I see him today, he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Yelu Dashi couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes, and said: "I only heard that the little overlord is invincible before, but I don't want to know so much about my affairs in Daliao. You are really a thoughtful person."
Chao Yong shook his head and said: "A brother in the village grew up in the Liao Kingdom, and Lin Ya is a legendary figure in the Liao Kingdom, so Chao Yong heard about Lin Ya's deeds."
When Yelu Dashi heard this, he said curiously: "Those who can be called brothers by the little overlord are probably also heroes of the world. I don't know why they abandoned me, Daliao, and went to Guizhai to become the leader."
Chao Yong, however, did not want to be missed by Yelu Dashi and said with a smile: "He is just a brother who is good at horse-drawing. For me in Liangshan, he is a rare talent. But for you people on horseback, he is just an ordinary person.
"
The Liao Kingdom was originally composed of many tribes, including the royal Khitan tribe, the descendants of the Xi tribe, and many other ethnic groups that lived on grass. As Chao Yong said, the ethnic groups who lived on grass could be said to be ethnic groups on horseback.
After dealing with horses every day, there are naturally many people who are good at horse reading.
Yelu Dashi heard that he was just a person who was good at horse-drawing, so he lost his curiosity and said instead: "I heard that Liangshan formed a horse army and sent people to buy horses from our country. A few months ago, because of a batch of
The war horses were taken away by Zengtou City, and there was a big battle with Zengtou City. I think the little overlord also knew that the war in the north of Liao Kingdom was fierce and the war horses were under control. I'm afraid it would not be easy for Guizhai to collect a group of war horses, right?"
Chao Yong nodded and said: "What Lin Ya Dashi said is true. It is because it is difficult to collect war horses, so our Liangshan army did not hesitate to go to war with Zengtou City to recapture the war horses. Is it possible that Lin Ya Dashi can sell war horses to me in Liangshan?"
"
Yelu Dashi played with the gold-coated hilt and said with a smile: "Little Overlord, you really know everything. I don't have any hobbies, I only love gold. As long as there is gold in your village, I might not be able to sell you some war horses."
Chao Yong naturally would not believe that the talented and strategic Yelu Dashi would sell his war horses to them because of his greed for money. However, Chao Yong believed that as long as Liangshan's army grew stronger, he would be able to deceive Yelu Dashi if he had any tricks. (Unfinished)
