When the Liao State's Yuan Lanzi inquired about Liangshan's troops and horses, Liangshan's investigators had also discovered the Liao State's cavalry.
Lu Junyi heard the appearance of a large group of Liao cavalry and 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 waiting in formation.
Chao Yong greeted Lu Junyi, who came up to greet 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 people and horses and constantly sent detective 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, "It doesn't matter where he is chasing soldiers and horses. If these Liao dogs dare to cross the border, they will come to plunder our people again. I will ask you to lead troops to destroy these Liao dogs."
Although Liangshan has enmity with Zengtou City, this Liao army is chasing Zengtou City again, although it is said that the enemy of the enemy is an ally. However, in Chao Yong's view, the battle between Liangshan and Zengtou City was just a battle between the Han people, while 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 the Liao army. However, as the commander, he had to think about the safety of the soldiers of the three armies and asked: "How many people can we find out about 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 2,000."
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. 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 split into a path.
The Liao cavalry arrived in front of Chao Yong and said in fluent Chinese: "According to the order of Da Shi Linya, the military commander of the Liao Dynasty, I invite the leaders of your army to meet two miles to the north."
"Yel¨¹ Dashi?"
"Exactly."
Chao Yong became interested when he heard that the general in charge of the Liao army opposite was actually Yelu Dashi.
The only figure he had an impression of in the late Liao Dynasty was Yelu Dashi, who led tens of thousands of remnant soldiers to defeat Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops when the Liao Kingdom was declining. The imperial court of Zhao and Song, who wanted to take advantage of the situation, suffered a bloody blow, and also allowed the Liao Kingdom to linger for a while. After the fall of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dashi led hundreds of remnant soldiers to flee to West Asia and established the Western Liao Dynasty, which 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 what this legendary figure wanted to do 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 keep the date."
When the Liao soldiers heard that Chao Yong had accepted the invitation, they also retreated.
"Dong Ping is willing to lead his horse army to 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 to the appointment alone, and you will lead the troops here to be on guard."
Hearing this, Lin Chong hurriedly said: "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 mobilized 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 took several soldiers to the meeting place.
Hearing reports from his own soldiers that the leader of the Liangshan army was a young general of seventeen or eighteen years old, Yelu Dashi speculated on the leader based on the intelligence.
Yelu Dashi deliberately didn't let his soldiers tell him how many people he was bringing, just to see the other side's courage. If Liang Shantou leads a large army and a conflict breaks out, Yelu Dashi is confident that with their riding skills, they can leave safely as long as they are not surrounded.
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.
When a horse gathers together, two people 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 salute: "I have long heard that Lin Ya Dashi is both civil and military and proficient in Chinese. Even if he comes to the Central Plains, he 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: "In the past, I only heard that the little overlord is invincible, 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 from 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."
Yelu Dashi heard this and said curiously: "Those who can be called brothers by the little overlord are probably also heroes in the world. I don't know why they abandoned me, Daliao, and went to Guizhai to become the leader."
However, Chao Yong 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, it 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 who lived on grass. As Chao Yong said, the ethnic groups who lived on grass could be said to be ethnic groups on horseback. Working 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-telling, 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 captured by Zengtou City, and there was a 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. Is it not easy for Guizhai to collect a group of war horses? "
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 is really quick to point out. 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 Yelu Dashi would sell his war horses to them because of his greed for money, but Chao Yong believed that as long as Liangshan's military strength grew, he would be able to deceive Yelu Dashi if he had any tricks.
