190 Sneak attack on the city of Yanzhou
When the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuankuan, was about to take a risk to attack Yanzhou City. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Mo Ye, who was in Yanzhou City, was ready to lead the army back to Liaodu to force the Empress Dowager Xiao.
The Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State is facing embattlement, and now the Empress Dowager Xiao can only hope that Xianglan will find Han Jiangxue as soon as possible, hoping that Han Jiangxue will come back to clean up the mess. But now that Hanjiang Yeti is in Chudu, she has to find a way to save the poison in the little emperor, and she also has to expose Lei Jiuchun's conspiracy. Originally, Han Jiangxue didn't want to make a move, but now Liao's domestic and foreign troubles have reached a dangerous moment of complete collapse, so Han Jiangxue has to take action in person.
In Yanzhou City, Mo Ye convened an important backbone of the Mo family army to hold a meeting to discuss secretly.
Mo Ye's meaning is very clear, first, when he led the army out, he had already offended the Empress Dowager Xiao, and the reason was to force the Empress Dowager Xiao to canonize her daughter as the queen. Second, he first beheaded and then killed Liang Wangye, causing internal commotion in the Liao army, forcing Liang Wangye to take refuge in Xiliang now.
Third, he now has his own troops, and he has not led the army to attack Fengting City for a long time to reinforce the army of the little emperor. Any of these three Empress Dowager Xiao will not let go of herself.
At present, these hundreds of thousands of Mo family troops have two choices, the first choice is to immediately attack Fengting City on the order of Empress Dowager Xiao and strive for meritorious atonement. However, this choice is thankless, and the consequences are endless. First of all, the Mo family's army must pay a heavy price when attacking the Xiliang army, and secondly, even if he rescues the little emperor and makes great contributions, it is difficult to ensure that the Empress Dowager Xiao and the little emperor settle accounts after the autumn, which is endless trouble for the Mo family.
The second option is to immediately lead the army back to Chudu, force the Empress Dowager Xiao of the palace, establish herself as the king, find a puppet to be the emperor at will, and then be the emperor himself, and canonize all the important personnel of the Mo family as princes. Mo Jian and other important core figures of the Mo family decided to choose to force the Empress Dowager Xiao after hearing this.
Mo Ye knew that now the Empress Dowager Xiao could mobilize a pitiful number of troops, although there were still 50,000 Lin family troops under Lin Jun, the marshal of the Northern Courtyard, but Lin Jun's troops were first to deter the local tribes and prevent these local tribes from rebelling and becoming independent.
Lin Jun is also an old fox, he can't use all his belongings to sell his life for Empress Dowager Xiao's mother and son, those Lin family troops are his lifeline, and now Empress Dowager Xiao is already difficult to repay herself, so the biggest possibility is that Lin Jun is also self-respecting. Empress Dowager Xiao couldn't move Lin Jun's Lin Jiajun.
Therefore, the only thing that made Mo Ye have some worries was the 30,000 Flying Eagle Army, but Mo Ye thought that these Flying Eagle Army might not listen to Empress Dowager Xiao's orders.
Mo Ye decided to lead an army of 120,000 to return to Liaodu to force the Empress Dowager Xiao. As for Yanzhou City, he asked his younger brother Mo Jian to lead 60,000 soldiers and horses to guard, and among the 60,000 soldiers and horses led by Mo Jian, the Mo family army accounted for 30,000, and 20,000 of the remaining 30,000 were the remnants of the Liang Wangye, and the other 10,000 were ordinary Liao troops.
Mo Ye believed that the main goal of the Western Liang Army now was to eliminate the main force of the Liao army led by the little emperor of Chudu. The commander of the Western Liang Army in Fengting City, Tuan Kuan, would not be so stupid and took the risk to attack Yanzhou City and fight with his own army. Besides, Mo Ye thought that he sent the 60,000 soldiers and horses led by his younger brother Mo Jian to guard Yanzhou City, at least for a period of time, and by then he had already forced the Empress Dowager Xiao to succeed, so that Yanzhou City was in danger, and it would be too late for him to send reinforcements.
The soldiers were very fast, and Mo Ye decided to take advantage of the fact that the Empress Dowager Xiao was not fully prepared, and immediately raised troops to return to Liaodu and implement a mutiny to force the palace.
The prince of the Western Liang Kingdom of Fengting City, Tuan Kuan, knew that Mo Ye, the prime minister of the Liao State, did not immediately send troops to attack Fengting City, then it meant that this Mo Ye had other plans, and it might be a rebellion.
Tuan Kuan has been quietly waiting for this opportunity, when Liang Wangye's cronies in Yanzhou City quietly sent the news that Prime Minister Mo Ye was preparing to lead the army back to Liaodu to Liang Wangye. Liang Wang Ye knew that his opportunity for revenge was coming, so Liang Wang Ye told this information to Tu Xiankuan.
Tuankuan immediately mobilized a large army and quietly set off towards Yanzhou City. Liang Wangye also sent someone to quietly contact his old department in Yanzhou City, and asked them to open the city gate to answer at a critical moment. This sneak attack on Yanzhou City, Tuan Kuan's secrecy work was done very well, he led the army to the south first, and gave the illusion that Mo Ye, the prime minister who stayed in Fengting City, was going to lead the army south to join the battle to eliminate the Liao army in Chudu.
When Tuan Kan Kuan led the Xiliang army to leave Fengting City, Prime Minister Mo Ye's spies left in Fengting City immediately sent a message to Mo Ye Feige that Tu Xiankuan, the prince of Xiliang Kingdom, had led the Xiliang army to the south and was preparing to besiege Chu Capital. After Mo Ye followed this information, he was even more relieved to lead the army to leave Yanzhou City and return to Liaodu.
When Prime Minister Mo Ye led the army to leave Yanzhou City and set off for Liaodu, Tuan Kankuan led 90,000 Xiliang troops to quietly leave Fengting City and set off for Yanzhou City.
The distance between Yanzhou City and Fengting City is not far, and there are two roads from Fengting City to Yanzhou City, one is a spacious avenue, this avenue is short, the road condition is good, you can march, you can also transport grain and grass. The other is a rugged path, which is not suitable for transporting grain and grass, and it is inconvenient even for marching.
Under normal circumstances, it is a big road from Fengting City to Yanzhou City, but in order to avoid Prime Minister Mo Ye's secret whistle and make the sneak attack on Yanzhou City smoother, Tuan Kuan decided to take a small road.
After three days and nights of rapid marching, Tuo Xiankuan finally led the army of Xiliang Kingdom to gather with the troops of Liang Wangye and quietly approached Yanzhou City.
At this time, Mo Jian, who was guarding Yanzhou City, did not realize that Tuan Kuan's sneak attack army had already relied on Yanzhou City, and what was worse was that he did not realize that the old department of Liang Wangye in Yanzhou City was quietly launching a rebellion.
Because when Mo Jian was in charge of Yanzhou City, he fell in love with the beauties and daughters who stayed in Yanzhou City, so he now forced these daughters to play with him. Anyway, these Chu States and their daughters are the playthings of these powerful people. Because Mo Jian enjoyed beauty, he relaxed his guard of Yanzhou City.
Late at night, Liang Wangye led his 30,000 remnants to approach Yanzhou City first, and Liang Wangye's old department, which had already been in Yanzhou City, set fire to it, suddenly opened the city gate, and let Liang Wangye's troops enter the city first, and then Tuan Kankuan led the Xiliang army to also rush into Yanzhou City.
At this time, the Mo family army under Mo Jian hurriedly realized that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly organized the army to counterattack. Mo Jian himself hurriedly got down from Yang Yulan, but it was already too late at this time, because Liang Wangye's army and Xiliang's army had already rushed into Yanzhou City.
Because Mo Jian led the Mo family army off guard, coupled with the fact that Liang Wangye's old department was an internal response, and the soldiers and horses were also at a disadvantage, Mo Jian was defeated and fled. Yanzhou City fell into the hands of the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, and the original plan to design the extension was a perfect success.
Now Tuan Kuan led the Xiliang Army to occupy Yanzhou City and Fengting City, these two very important cities, it can be said that Tuan Kuan's great work is about to be completed. If Tuo Yin is a little more secure, it is to stick to Yanzhou City and Fengting City, and completely destroy the Chu Capital Liao Army, which is already a trapped beast.
It's a pity that the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, and Tuankuan captured Fengting City and Yanzhou City so easily, which made his ambition greatly inflated. Now Tuo Yinkuan is already in a hurry to prepare to enter Liaodu, and wants to take Liaodu in one fell swoop. Tuan Kuan thought that if he took the Liao capital in one fell swoop, no one in the Xiliang Kingdom would dare to challenge his military prestige at that time. (To be continued.) )
