"No need to remind me, I often take my men to practice riding and shooting hard, and fight." Agu only replied: "Why do you ask this?"

"There are big troubles." Xiao Shilu didn't care about the side and said bluntly: "The Xia people seemed to be going to launch a large-scale conquest of the Khitan. Yu Yue and Yi Lijin discussed it and thought they still had to fight."

Xiao Agu only heard this and became serious and asked, "Why is it a big conquest? Yingzhou is still stable. After Li Cunxiao entered the White Wolf Guard, there was no movement. Many tribes ran back and said that he only had a few thousand soldiers and a maximum of more than ten thousand. Such a few people could not pose any major threat. After discussing with Gao Siji the day before yesterday, I was planning to take the initiative to give Li Cunxiao a good look."

Xiao Shilu was a little surprised when he heard this. Unexpectedly, Agu was so ambitious that he saved a lot of time from persuading him to slap his mouth.

In the Khitan military system, each chieftain has his own subordinates. Aguru's side, in addition to the five thousand cavalry handed over to him by Abaoji, there were also some Uighur cavalry brought out from Shulu's army. To be honest, Xiao Shilu could not command these people, even if he was the governor, he could only count on Xiao Aguru.

To go west, it is obvious that Aguzi's approval must be obtained.

"Since that's the case, I won't say much." Xiao Shilu said: "First find a way to find out the deployment of Xia people outside Linyu Pass, and then pick a small path to harass them. Don't rush to the front, and focus on plundering."

"I'm afraid it's inappropriate?" Agu just frowned and said, "The Xia people's cavalry is not made of mud. Unexpectedly, it is possible to plunder one or two tribes, but how to get out? If Xia thieves chase after him, wouldn't they still have to fight?"

"What if it's just burning and killing, not plundering?" Shi Lu asked.

"Shi Lu, if you say this, the men will be unhappy." Agu just shook his head directly and said, "We are different from the Xia people. The men have no military pay, they all rely on robbery to survive. If they go out to fight, they will get nothing. Once or twice. If they have too many times, can you hold back?"

When Shi Lu heard this, he thought it made sense. He was too impatient and was not considerate enough.

"What should I do?" he asked.

"Either you rob it and run away, and then take the detours in the mountains, all by luck. The Xia people may not be able to catch up with us. Or they will also bring the infantry, with a large number of people and a large number of troops. Li Cunxiao may not be able to defeat us, or they may retreat calmly." Agu only said: "There are only these two methods. In short, it is difficult to make everyone go to the battle for nothing. I can still suppress it in the short term, but after a long time, I will definitely be full of complaints."

Muru sighed, hesitating.

Infantry is a newly established army that Abaoji attaches great importance to. Now the Khitan divisions have fully realized that if there is no infantry that can be fought, the cavalry alone will be able to kill and harass it, and the results will be minimal.

Gao Siji has 20,000 infantry and cavalry under his command, which is a powerful force and the Dinghai Shenjian of Yingzhou and cannot be lost easily.

Shi Lu had seen the combat effectiveness of the Xia army. He was really worried that the Pinglu army would be gone in one battle, and even Yingzhou could not be saved. In that case, the angry A Baoji would have to kill people, no matter what his identity was.

"Only half of the Pinglu army can travel west." Shilu said, "Is it enough?"

"Of course not enough!" Agu was very dissatisfied and said, "Shilu, you can't fight. The soldiers in Yingzhou should either be fully invested or just stop going. What's the reason for not having any soldiers out?"

Without Hedong's help, Yi Ding and Chengde could only be beaten and could not fight back. He continued to be besieged for a year or two, and it would be defeated.

On May 20, more than 16,000 Youguo troops arrived in Zhuozhou.
