Chapter 1252: A True Enemy
Minamitori Korean Peninsula!
Wanyan Agu's body shook suddenly, and a trace of light burst out of his eyes, as if he had suddenly comprehended something. 2
The three counties of the Han Peninsula, Lelang, Silla and Baekje were originally border counties of the Han State, but Liu Bei ceded these three counties to Sun Ce in exchange for Sun Ce's attack on the coast of Qingxu of Wei from the sea.
As a result, Sun Ce was defeated by Emperor Wei's potters and driven out of the sea, and Liu Bei didn't catch anything and lost three counties.
And Sun Ce, who returned to Wadao, was naturally unwilling to be driven out of the big 6, so in recent years, he has been running the three counties of the peninsula, trying to use it as a springboard to continue the counterattack on the big 6.
Not long ago, when Yan Agu raised troops and seized Manchuria, Sun Ce also took the opportunity to send the general Tai Shici to the north to try to get involved in Manchuria.
It's a pity that the strength of the Japanese army in 6 battles was mediocre, and they were defeated several times by Tiefutu, who was beaten by Wanyan Agu, and had to obediently spit out the two counties in the south of Manzhou, which were swallowed by the chaos.
In order to concentrate on entering the Central Plains and to appease Sun Ce, Wanyan Aguta took advantage of the victory to hold peace talks with Sun Ce, and for this reason, he also cut three or four counties on the border to Sun Ce, which was regarded as a gift.
Sun Ce saw how powerful Wanyan Agu was fighting, and knew that with the ability of his 6th Army, he could not invade Manchuria, so he had no choice but to push the boat down the river, and after accepting a few counties, he nominally formed an ally with Wanyan Aguda to jointly deal with the Great Wei of the pottery merchants.
Although the two families are called allies, they have evil intentions for each other, and Wanyan Aguta is very aware of Sun Ce's greed, so when the army immediately set out for Shanhaiguan, he also left at least 10,000 elites in the border area of the peninsula to prevent Sun Ce from stabbing him in the back.
Just like Pang Tong's strategy, if he can take all the three counties of the Korean Peninsula, it can indeed greatly enrich the national strength, and can also remove the threat from Sun Ce, so that he can have no worries in the future and do his best to enter the Central Plains.
The most critical point is that Pang Tong saw Wanyan's heart to be the emperor.
Wanyan Agu's wishful thinking originally wanted to take advantage of this time to seize Shanhaiguan, break the prestige of the Wei army, suppress any opposition, and realize his dream of becoming emperor.
Unfortunately, the fall of Tiefutu severely damaged his prestige, and if he reluctantly became emperor, he was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public.
Therefore, Wanyan Agu urgently needed another victory to make up for his lost prestige, so as to help him suppress the opposition and ascend the throne as emperor.
The conquest of the Korean Peninsula and the expansion of territory for the Great Jurchen are the best opportunities.
After thinking about it, Wanyan Aguda fell into indecision.
"Da Danyu, annexing the three counties of the Korean Peninsula is insignificant compared to capturing Shanhaiguan and capturing the Central Plains, if we give up like this, I will be the first to be unwilling!"
In the silence, Dolyan, who was wounded on his body, jumped up in pain and shouted with indignation and grief.
Unwilling!
These three words, like a stick, smashed his head on the top of Wan Yan's bone, waking him up as a stick.
"That's right, just give up like this, how can Ben Dan be willing!"
Wanyan Agu slapped the case a few times, and said angrily: "That's right, my army is so easy to kill Shanhaiguan, how can I give up, first unite with Yelu Abaoji, join forces to attack Wei, if it can't be done, then use Shiyuan's second plan, return to Manzhou, and capture the three counties of the peninsula It's not too late!" β
Wanyan Aguda has made up his mind, and immediately sent an envoy to enter the Xianbei map from the grassland, and rushed to Pingcheng under the stars to meet Yelu Abaoji to discuss the matter of joining forces.
At the same time, Wanyan Aguta rewarded his soldiers with wine and meat, re-arousing the fighting spirit of the soldiers, and the army went south again, approaching Shanhaiguan.
In view of the fact that the Tiefutu had been destroyed, Wanyan Aguta naturally did not dare to be so mad as to fight a decisive battle with the potters, or even to fight head-on, and set up camp thirty miles away from Shanhaiguan, forming a confrontation.
The Jurchens defended such a deep ditch and high fortress, but the potters were not happy to see it, and he attacked several times several times, but failed to break through the Jurchen camp.
The two sides then fought a battle at Shanhaiguan, forming a stalemate and confrontation.
β¦β¦
I don't know if a month has passed.
Shanhaiguan.
In the lobby of Guancheng, the pottery merchant was standing with his hands in his hands, staring at the map of Manchukuo hanging on the wall, and discussing the strategy of retreating from the enemy with Liu Ji, Li Cunxiao and other generals.
"Newspaper - Pingcheng Urgent!" Before the sound arrived, a figure shot into the lobby like a cannonball.
It's Dai Zong.
"Yelu Abaoji wants to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble again?" The potter slowly turned around and asked unhurriedly.
"Your Majesty is really clever." Dai Zong arched his hand, "Returning to Your Majesty, the envoy of Wanyan Aguda has arrived in Pingcheng seven days ago, and it is said that he has reached an alliance agreement with Yelu Abaoji, in a vain attempt to join forces to carve up my Great Wei, and the soldiers and horses in the Xianbei realm have also begun to show signs of secretly gathering, so Yelu Abaoji is likely to take the opportunity to invade my Great Wei again." β
The expressions of all the ministers in the hall moved slightly.
"United Yelu Abaoji, well, this is a good move." The potter turned around and took the information presented by Dai Zong.
The intelligence clearly said that the envoy of Wanyan Aguta brought a large number of generous gifts, and rushed to Pingcheng in the starry night, and was received by the Sheng girl of Yelu Abaoji, and news has spread in Pingcheng, claiming that Yelu Abaoji has promised Wanyan Aguta, and the two are about brothers, and Keri will raise troops and go south again.
In the lobby, there was a lot of discussion.
"Yelu Abaoji has been holding the cities inside and outside the Great Wall cut from Liu Bei's hands in recent months, and his strength has exploded, and he is urgently in need of a victory to gain enough prestige to be the emperor. Li Cunxiao analyzed.
Yue Fei also said in a solemn tone: "That Yelu Abaoji mixed with the soldiers of Hu and Han, under his command both Xianbei iron cavalry, and my Central Plains infantry army, the strength is far from comparable to the time of Maodun, the minister heard that Ma Jun in An Lushan rebellion, but also fled to Xianbei out of fear, and was treated well by Yelu Abaoji, at this time is helping Abaoji to make many siege weapons such as thunder cannons, once successful, the siege ability of the Xianbei people will be greatly increased, at that time, the threat we face on the border can be imagined. β
Yue Fei's words made all the generals present change their descriptions, and between their eyebrows, a trace of horror flashed.
Previously, they always thought that Liu Bei and his Han State were the biggest enemies of the Great Wei, and if the Han State was destroyed, there would be no more Great Wei opponents in the world.
Now it seems that although the Han State has been destroyed and the Central Plains has been unified, an unprecedentedly powerful steppe empire has risen silently in the northern Xinjiang.
This steppe empire is no longer simply a nomadic empire like the Xiongnu in the past, but has extended its minions to the inside and outside of the Great Wall, and has obtained hundreds of thousands of Han remnants, mixed with Hu and Han, and the strong cavalry combat ability of the Hu people, as well as the Han people's infantry combat ability and siege ability, all of which are taken for themselves, and have been helped by Shi Jingtang, Gao Changgong, Liu Heimin, Sima Yi and other Han ministers.
The strength of such a Xianbei empire is far superior to that of the Han State under the rule of Liu Bei.
With such a powerful empire, if it invades the south on a large scale, it will not be easy for the Great Wei to deal with, let alone unite the Jurchen clan who are also emerging and rising.
"The alliance of the two enemies is indeed the great ...... of Great Wei Great calamity! Liu Ji shook the feather fan and made a conclusion in a categorical tone.
"Your Majesty, what should we do then?" Guan Yinping couldn't help but ask, his tone was already a little uneasy.
Guan Xiaotong frowned and said: "Then what else can I do, the Xianbei people are so powerful, how can we fight on two fronts, of course, we will leave a general to confront Wanyan Agu here, and Your Majesty will personally lead the main force to the western front to deal with Yelu Abaoji." β
Although Guan Xiaotong is not good at using soldiers, her words still won the willingness of most of the generals, and many generals also believed that Yelu Abaoji was a big disaster, and the potter should personally return to the division to deal with it.
In a solemn atmosphere, only the potter, his expression was always calm and calm, as if there was no fear of this.
After listening to the discussion of the ministers, the pottery merchant smiled coldly, and said disapprerovitically: "What is the panic, isn't it just a Yelu Abaoji, what's the big deal, after forcing Yan Agu to retreat and return to Manchuria, I will do my best to clean him up." β
Go back to Manchuria?
The generals looked stunned, looking at each other, all suspicious and dazed.
"Then Yan Agu avoided the door without fighting, in order to drag us here, we attacked several times to no avail, how could he go back to Manchuria by himself." Guan Xiaotong couldn't help but ask.
The potter smiled, and his heroic face raised a treacherous look of ambition, and said proudly: "Don't worry, in less than ten days, you will obediently roll up and get out!" β
