A journey of one hundred li, with auxiliary soldiers, would take a day and a half.
The cavalry marched at full speed and took only half the time.
They set off at dawn and arrived near Jiayang Pass around noon.
Scouts along the way reported back.
Twenty li further on, we would reach the Liao army's main camp.
The group dismounted to rest. Without lighting a fire, they took out flatbread from their pockets and ate it with water.
Li Chang'an didn't like eating sesame cakes very much.
Those damn cooks, their skills are terrible.
The flatbread was baked until it was black and had sand mixed in with it.
He looked at the GPS map and began to plan.
"As usual, we'll rush over, and Commander Meng will provoke us to find the location of the opposing commander."
"Then I'll fight my way through, and after they've scattered, you guys go up and pick up the heads."
Old tricks are fine as long as they work.
None of the generals objected.
Three thousand men against an army of sixty thousand.
There's no chance of winning by any measure.
However, if Mr. Li can really launch a surprise attack, kill the enemy's commander first, and then wreak havoc among the enemy troops.
Once the morale of the Liao army is broken, the rest will be much simpler.
Only one simple-minded general spoke up, completely clueless.
"Sir, is the head of a Liao soldier also worth two taels of gold?"
Meng Xian and the others looked at him coldly, their eyes filled with disappointment and frustration.
It's already kind of them to help, you're expecting them to pay you.
Just as Meng Xian was about to speak, she heard Li Chang'an chuckle softly.
"Same here. I, Li, keep my word. Before the war is over, each Liao soldier will receive two taels of gold."
Everyone was delighted to hear this.
They spent eight or nine days with this gentleman.
Naturally, it was known that this god-like figure was extremely generous.
They said it was two taels of gold, but the final reward was probably more than that.
Several generals also secretly received salaries without working and accepted bribes.
But after all these years of greed, I still don't have more than half of last night's bounty.
Receiving a salary without working, accepting bribes, and even risking execution are all considered offenses.
Fighting alongside this gentleman.
That means picking up money with a sack.
There is absolutely no risk.
Who wouldn't like something like this?
Meng Xian was also very pleased.
The Prince's Mansion is going to make another fortune.
This trip has been worthwhile; I've earned my credit.
We have food.
Money, money is here.
The casualties among their own soldiers were almost negligible.
Fifteen thousand men followed this immortal and slaughtered indiscriminately.
The immortals are in charge of indiscriminate killing.
They are in charge of the gaga.
She had never encountered such a good thing in her life.
Sure enough, having a god-like figure in your team is awesome.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Meng Xian gathered the army together.
We need to do some pre-battle thinking to boost morale.
Li Chang'an told her to step back, and then stopped his horse in front of the army.
The soldiers stared at the white-robed immortal, wondering what he was up to.
Li Chang'an cleared his throat and called out.
"A strong wind rises and clouds fly; where can we find brave warriors to guard the four directions?"
"The Liao people must be fought at any time; we cannot afford not to."
"Just imagine, you're in the city with your wives, eating and singing."
"Suddenly, the Liao people came to your door, they took your wife away, and defiled her in front of you."
"We'll rob you of all the food in your house."
"Your son has been captured and enslaved, and your daughter has become a military prostitute."
“Your parents were killed right in front of you, and chopped into mincemeat.”
“Your whole family was captured and taken to the Liao people’s territory, where you were enslaved and forced to work as servants. When you were hungry, you were fed meat paste made by your parents.”
Are you willing?
The soldiers' faces flushed red as they imagined the scene, and they roared, "We refuse!"
"The sound is too soft, I can't hear it!"
Li Chang'an looked at them with a cold expression.
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
"I don't want to!"
"Okay, I heard you, but the Liao people can't hear you."
"Brothers, follow me, put your knives to the necks of the Liao people, and tell them a good lesson."
"In this world, we are the ones who bully others; no one can bully us."
"Now, all troops, listen to my command!"
"Here you go!"
"For every Liao soldier whose head is taken, a reward of ten taels of silver and ten dan of grain will be given."
"Remember, whether you get to eat porridge or meat when you get back depends on your abilities."
After Li Chang'an finished speaking, he rode his horse toward the location of Jiayang Pass.
Take a deep breath and shout angrily.
"A man is born between heaven and earth, and when it is time to die, he shall die!"
The generals drew their long swords and roared.
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
"Fight to the death!"
Three thousand iron cavalrymen charged toward Jiayang Pass in a mighty procession.
Inside the Liao army camp.
Yelü Chucai lay on a large bed, surrounded by a sea of white.
Screams of agony echoed from the tents.
Outside the tent, several Ming soldiers were pinned to the ground, their eyes bulging with fury.
Yelü Chucai lay on the bed, admiring the scene before him with a satisfied expression.
The Ming general whose hands and feet had been cut off and who was lying on the ground was none other than Yuan Dahai, the garrison general of Zhenhai Pass.
The women screaming in the tent were his entire family, all the women.
Outside the camp, the Liao people lined up to go inside.
His son was pinned to the ground, watching this scene unfold.
"Father, we shouldn't have surrendered! We shouldn't have surrendered!"
Yuan Dahai buried his head in the sand, wishing he could die right now.
