189 Sneak attack on Yanzhou City
When the prince of Xiliang Kingdom learned that Liang Wang Ye still had tens of thousands of soldiers in Yanzhou City, he thought of a very bold plan, which was to attack Yanzhou City. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info according to the idea of expanding the wide, once the Xiliang army captured Yanzhou City. In this way, the two very important cities of Yanzhou City and Fengting City have fallen into the hands of their own Xiliang army, so that they can completely cut off the retreat of the Liao army in Chudu, and when the time comes, the Liao army in Chudu will be cut off from grain and grass, and the whole army will definitely be wiped out.
If all the elite of the Liao army in the Chu capital can be wiped out, then the Liao army will be vulnerable from now on, so that only the Xiliang Kingdom will be the king in the world. After all, now the Chu State is already difficult to protect itself, and it is difficult to compare with the Western Liang State at all.
Tuan Kuan wanted to sneak attack Yanzhou City, but the risk was also very large, and Mo Ye, the first prime minister of the Liao State, had 1780,000 soldiers and horses in Yanzhou. Tuan Kuan himself led 100,000 troops, even if he added the 30,000 or 40,000 troops surrendered by Liang Wangye, the total was not as good as the soldiers and horses of Mo Ye, the prime minister of the Liao State.
Second, the prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuan Kuan, also needs to send troops to guard Fengting City, because the Liao army in Chudu must desperately attack Fengting City in order to open a way to escape.
The prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuo Xian, thought that now the Chu State had been crippled by the Liao State; If he defeats Liao in one fell swoop, then Chu, Liao, and will not be Xiliang's opponents in the future. Between these three kingdoms, they will take their own Xiliang Kingdom as the king, and if they want to destroy Chu in the future, the two kingdoms of Liao are just around the corner.
Takumi felt that although he planned to take an adventure, it was a very rare opportunity now, and if he didn't seize this opportunity, it would be difficult to do it in the future. On the one hand, Tuankuan sent people to the father of the Western Liang Kingdom, asking for reinforcements; On the one hand, he was preparing to unite with Liang Wang Ye to attack Yanzhou City.
Tuan Kuan thought to himself that now Mo Ye, the prime minister of the Liao State, had just taken over Yanzhou, and it was too late to deal with the old department left by Liang Wangye in Yanzhou, if Mo Ye had enough time to integrate the Liao army in Yanzhou, it would be even more difficult to capture Yanzhou in the future.
In order to completely defeat Mo Ye's Liao army in Yanzhou, Tu Xiankuan decided to strike first, and he decided to lead the Xiliang army in Fengting City to pour out while the Liao army in Chudu had not yet reached Fengting City.
The prince of the Western Liang Kingdom, Tuan Kuan, led a total of only 100,000 troops, and he decided to use 90,000 of them to attack Yanzhou City, leaving 10,000 Western Liang soldiers to guard Fengting City.
Of course, according to the plan in Tuo Yinkuan's heart, it will take a few days for the Liao army in Chudu to rush to Fengting City, and the Liao army in Chudu is already difficult to protect itself under the joint attack of the Chu army and the Xiliang army, and it should not be able to mobilize too many troops to attack Fengting City; Even if they were able to draw troops, they were already exhausted from the long journey to Wind Pavilion City.
Although he only has 10,000 troops left in Fengting City, these 10,000 troops are to occupy the city for defense, and there are enough bows and arrows, and Fengting City is also easy to defend and difficult to attack the city. In this way, it is estimated that the 10,000 Xiliang troops who left in Fengting City can hold on for at least ten days and a half months.
As long as he holds on for ten days and a half months, the Xiliang reinforcements he sent to invite should also be able to rush to Fengting City, maybe even if he leads the army, he can also defeat the Moye army in Yanzhou City, and then he can return to the division to reinforce Fengting City.
Takumi was a bold and adventurous idea, but it was a very good plan. If the expansion plan can be successfully completed, then it may be very unlikely that the Liao army will want to fight back.
Yanzhou City Prime Minister Mo Ye's perfect plan to hunt and kill Liang Wangye became a pot of raw rice, although this ending was not perfect, but Prime Minister Mo Ye was still very satisfied, because everything was carried out according to his predetermined plan.
Prime Minister Mo Ye sent someone to report to the Empress Dowager Xiao, saying that Liang Wangye was in a foreign country, he had rebelled, and he defeated Liang Wangye's rebels, and now Liang Wangye had taken refuge in the Xiliang army in Fengting City. He will soon lead a large army to attack Fengting City, and then Prime Minister Mo Ye stated to Empress Dowager Xiao that he could not directly attack Fengting City.
The reason is that there are still many old departments of Liang Wangye in Yanzhou City, these generals are all ill-intentioned, and they have to clean up these armies, and they can only send troops to attack Fengting City after relieving their worries.
Of course, Empress Dowager Xiao understood that all this was an excuse for Prime Minister Mo Ye, and even Mo Ye discussed with herself about canonizing her daughter as the queen, but in fact, it was also to paralyze herself. Let yourself naively think that Mo Ye's ambition is just to let his daughter sit on the throne of the queen, and now it seems that Prime Minister Mo Ye's real ambition is to establish himself as the king, and once the strength is enough, he will force the palace to replace him.
Although the Empress Dowager Xiao understood, but everything was too late, first of all, the Empress Dowager Xiao was able to use too few troops, after all, the little emperor Zhengchu had taken away half of the troops of the Liao State, and now the prince of Liang rebelled, and the prime minister Mo Ye established himself as the king, which is equivalent to drawing out most of the troops of the Liao State.
At this time, Empress Dowager Xiao was able to command the army by herself, only the 20,000 royal soldiers guarding the capital and the palace in Liaodu, and the tens of thousands of soldiers in the capital inspection court of her maid Zizhu.
The tens of thousands of soldiers commanded and controlled by Zizhu only assassinated or monitored the officials of the imperial court in the past, and they did not really go to the battlefield, so their combat effectiveness was not strong, and these soldiers of the Imperial Court were scattered all over the Liao State, so it was difficult for Zizhu to concentrate 10,000 soldiers in the Imperial Court in a short period of time.
In addition to these, there are about 30,000 Flying Eagle Army left by Hanjiangxue near Liaodu, although the combat effectiveness of these 30,000 Flying Eagle Army is strong, but it is difficult to say whether Empress Dowager Xiao can command it. In addition to these armies, the most powerful force left was the 50,000 Lin family army led by Lin Jun, the marshal of the Northern Courtyard. For the Lin family's army, Empress Dowager Xiao is not in command at all, so now the internal forces of the Liao State are quite empty.
Mo Ye, the prime minister of Yanzhou City, incorporated the remaining army of Liang Wangye, and he felt that he had a force of 180,000 troops, of which 130,000 were completely under his orders Mo family's army.
Prime Minister Mo Ye was ambitious and thought: With the army he has, he can completely force the palace to Empress Dowager Xiao, why should he attack Fengting City. Because now there are 100,000 guards of the Xiliang Army in Fengting City, plus the remnants of the remnants of the Liang Wangye who fled in the past, even if he can conquer Fengting City, his Mo family army will have to pay a heavy price. Besides, he conquered Fengting City, and the loss was his own Mo family's army, but he saved the little emperor's troops trapped in Chudu, once the little emperor's hundreds of thousands of troops successfully withdrew to the country, it would be tantamount to making trouble for himself at that time.
Now is the opportunity Prime Minister Mo Ye is thinking about how to lead the army back to Liaodu, and wants Empress Dowager Xiao to force the palace, as for the Liao army trapped in Chudu, Prime Minister Mo Ye wishes that their entire army will be destroyed, so that his army can do whatever he wants in Liao.
Just when Prime Minister Mo Ye was about to lead the army back to the palace, Tuan Kuan led the Xiliang army but was planning a sneak attack on Yanzhou City. Now the Empress Dowager Xiao is facing not only internal and external troubles, but also a complete defeat. (To be continued.) )
