Chapter 903 (1/2)
Besides, Li Fu, who had won the imperial order before the war, knew that there were some battles in this battle. At the same time, he had a bold idea and was eager to try.
To Liaodong station, this idea is more vivid in the brain.
When everyone thought that the ice and snow would make the two sides rest for the next year, Li Fu was more determined to attack the cold winter.
As early as he arrived in Liaodong, he secretly ordered his heart and abdomen to pick out a total of 5000 raiders from all the armies before fighting with the Nvzhen.
All of them are skillful in bowing horses, strong in body and, most importantly, able to withstand the severe cold.
The five thousand selected were secretly sent to a base for special training in order to make a surprise attack.
When the two sides fought several times, each had its own victory or defeat. After a heavy snow for several consecutive days, time unconsciously entered the cold winter.
As a result, the two sides had to make a temporary truce.
The Imperial Army led by Li Fu also retreated.
Even in the border town of Dazhou, because of its proximity to Jurchen, it's not difficult for Jurchen to install spies into the city.
Li Fu's management of the garrison was tight inside and loose outside. Naturally, many garrison soldiers complained about the court, the war, and the freezing weather in Eastern Liaoning. All these complaints naturally reached the ears of the Nuzhen spies, and then passed back to the Nuzhen tribe through the spies.
In order not to let the Jurchen suspect, Li Fu also ordered people to investigate the Nvzhen spies several times in the city, and arrested many of them and killed them in public.
Entering the twelfth lunar month, Li Fu showed an attitude of having a good Spring Festival to relieve the soldiers' homesickness, and ordered the firemen to purchase all kinds of food materials, rice and noodles.
He also bought many specialties from local merchants, such as mink skin, ginseng, deer skin, dried sturgeon, pine nut and hazelnut, wild dried vegetables such as bracken and matsutake, mountain delicacies such as agaric mushrooms, toad oil, rare shells with agate, amber and honey wax, and so on!
What's more, he happily said that he bought it for his wife when he asked. His wife liked these things, and when he came, he couldn't help bringing some things back.
All the people were defeated.
When the Nuzhen spies returned to the school, all the leaders of the Nuzhen headquarters laughed and laughed at Li Fu, which made them despise Li Fu.
A general who leads the army to fight and is the commander-in-chief of the three armies, is he still a man who loves to buy food like squirrels moving house to store food in order to please a woman?
Only a fool like the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty would reuse such a soft egg. If he was in Jurchen, such a person would have been killed long ago!
At this point, Jurchen people are completely put down.
After all, a man who is so dedicated to buying gifts for his wife can say that he is still in the mood for war, and no one can believe him if he says he is dead!
The nvzhenzhen also made preparations for the Lunar New Year with peace of mind. On the one hand, she did not forget to make various military preparations. She was ready to make Zhou fall into pieces in the coming year, and then took advantage of the victory to force Dazhou to cede land and pay compensation.
