Chapter 27 Advice

Jinsu City, the emperor's headquarters.

Li Liangzuo was worried about how to defeat the Liao army. Now, the two armies of Xia and Liao were in a confrontation, and both armies were defending by strong cities. However, the difference was that the Liao army had reinforcements, while the Xia army had no reinforcements. Li Liangzuo received news that Yelu Nielugu, the King of Chu of Liao Kingdom, had led a hundred thousand troops from Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo.

In the backyard, in the small courtyard where Zhou Wentai lives, Li Yi has already brought Zhou Wentai's family according to Li Liangzuo's wishes. In fact, there are no one in Zhou Wentai's family. In addition to Mrs. Zhou, there are also Zhou Wentai's wife Liu and sister Zhou Wenjing.

"Tai'er, where is this?" Mrs. Zhou asked Zhou Wentai; "Why did I see soldiers outside when I came in?"

"Mom, this is my friend's home. These soldiers listen to him. You can rest assured here to recuperate!" Zhou Wentai said while serving his mother.

Not long after, Zhou Wentai's wife Liu called Zhou Wentai to the outside world and asked, "Husband, I think that the outside world is very cautious and wearing Hu clothes. This place is not already outside the Song Dynasty!"

"Shhhh!" Zhou Wentai said to his wife; "Speak softly, don't let your mother hear it. We are indeed outside the Song Dynasty. This is the headquarters of Emperor Li Liangzuo of Xia."

"What..." Liu shouted in a flash; Zhou Wentai quickly covered his wife's mouth and said, "Speak quietly, my mother is still inside! I have decided to be loyal to the Emperor of Xia from now on. Don't let my mother know about this matter for the time being, and then talk about it when my mother recovers from the illness."

Liu nodded and said that he understood. Although Mrs. Zhou had not heard what the two outside said, Mrs. Zhou was like a mirror in her heart. Although she didn't know where she was, she also knew that she would never be in the territory of the Song Dynasty.

After explaining everything to Liu, Zhou Wentai walked out and happened to meet his sister Zhou Wenjing who came out of the boudoir. Zhou Wenjing stopped Zhou Wentai and asked, "Brother, where is this place?"

Zhou Wentai smiled and said, "This is the headquarters of the Emperor of Xixia. You can live here with peace of mind and take good care of my mother. I have something to do to leave."

"Brother, these soldiers won't do anything to us, right?" Zhou Wenjing asked worriedly.

"Little sister, you can live here with peace of mind!" Zhou Wentai strode away after saying that.

After Zhou Wentai left his courtyard, he came to Li Liangzuo's study. Li Yi stopped Zhou Wentai and said, "Your Majesty has an order, no one is allowed to enter."

"General Li, please report to you and say that Zhou Wentai has a plan to defeat the enemy." Zhou Wentai said to Li Yi.

Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "Then sir, just wait outside! Your Majesty is not in a good mood today, and you can't tell me if you don't see you."

"I'm here to help the general." Zhou Wentai said with a bow.

"Your Majesty, Zhou Wentai is asking for a meeting outside the door." Li Yi came to Li Liangzuo and said in a low voice.

Li Liangzuo took a deep breath and said, "What are he doing at this time?"

Li Yi said carefully: "He said there are good strategies to help Your Majesty defeat the enemy."

"Oh!" Li Liangzuo said in surprise; "You let him in!"

"Sir, your Majesty invites you in." Li Yi came out and said.

"I'm here to help the general..."

"Zhou Wentai, a grass man, pays homage to His Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live..."

"Sir, don't be too polite, please get up!" Li Liangzuo helped Zhou Wentai up and said, "I heard that sir has a good plan to defeat the enemy, but I don't know if it's a strategy!"

Zhou Wentai did not expect that Li Liangzuo would ask so directly, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment. Seeing Zhou Wentai's confused state, Li Liangzuo smiled and said, "Then you have thought about it and tell me!"

After Li Liangzuo said that, he sat back on his dragon throne. Zhou Wentai sorted out his thoughts and said to Li Liangzuo: "Your Majesty, the Caomin has no exact information, so he can only analyze the situation based on the current situation. Now His Majesty's army is mainly stationed in two places, one is Jinsu City and the other is Dongshengzhou. The two places can reach the cavalry more than a hundred miles apart and can support each other in half a day;

The Liao army is mainly stationed in three places, with the most powerful troops being Hebin, followed by Ningbian Prefecture, and the third is Heqing City. The three Liao army is in a triangular formation, but Heqing City has been surrounded by His Majesty's army, and Yelu Chongyuan's troops are impossible to break through the encirclement; in addition, there are two Liao army stationed in Hebin and Ningbian Prefecture, the commander of the two armies is the royal family and the other is the border general. The two are not subordinate to each other and cannot cooperate effectively and exert the full combat effectiveness of the Liao army."

"With Mr.'s opinion, what should our army be?" Li Liangzuo asked Zhou Wentai.

Zhou Wentai replied: "Your Majesty has a plan to defeat the enemy in his heart, so why bother to let me tell you?"

"What I think of is my, what Mr. said is my husband, it's okay, sir," Li Liangzuo said seriously.

Zhou Wentai immediately replied: "If your Majesty wants to win, you need to divide the troops into three groups. The first army must continue to restrain the Liao army in the Ningbian. The second army must return to Shiheqing City to capture Yelu Chongyuan. The third army must surprise Datong. Datong is the Xijing of Liao Kingdom and the storage place for food and supplies in the rear of the Liao army. As long as your Majesty's troops surround Datong, Yelu Ren will withdraw his troops first. At this time, Your Majesty can send troops to ambush him halfway. When the Liao army on the riverside is finished, the Liao army in Ningbian Prefecture will be unable to rush..."

"Ha, ha, ha..." Li Liangzuo said with a laugh, "Sir, you are good at making plans, almost the same as my idea, but it only needs a little modification. I want to combine the second and third armies into one. Our army should not be too dispersed if it is limited."

"Your Majesty is so wise that the people admire you very much..."

Li Liangzuo did not expect that Zhou Wentai was so talented, so he immediately issued an order: "When Zhou Wentai heard the title, he will be appointed Zhou Wentai as a military advisor from now on, and assist me in managing military affairs. I respect this."

"I thank Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live." Zhou Wentai immediately knelt down and answered the order.

"Li Yi ordered all generals to discuss matters in the lobby..." Li Liangzuo said.

That night, Li Liangzuo personally led 30,000 troops to counter Heqingcheng. The vanguard of the Xia army pretended to be the Liao reinforcements and opened the gate of Heqingcheng. Thirty thousand troops rushed in, and there were a burst of shouts of killing in Heqingcheng for a while.

"Report... Report to your Majesty, all the dangerous places in the city have been taken down by our army." The whistleman came to Li Liangzuo and said.

"Then the army ordered the general's mansion to attack the general's mansion and seize Yelu Chongyuan at all costs..." Li Liangzuo issued an order.

Let’s talk about Yelu Chongyuan. After shouting and killing sounds were everywhere outside, Yelu Chongyuan was extremely anxious. At this time, the deputy general came to Yelu Chongyuan and said, “King, the Xia army pretended to be our reinforcements and had already opened the city gate. Now the east gate and the north gate have been lost. The situation at the west gate is unknown, and the south gate is still under the control of our army.”

"I ordered the army to leave the city from the south gate, and then go straight to Fengzhou in the south." Yelu Chongyuan ordered; although the city was broken, Yelu Chongyuan was still clear-headed. Jinsu City had been captured by the Xia army, and all roads to return to Xijing must have been blocked.
