Chapter 154: Gao Cheng's Strategy
"We'll talk about that later!" Liu Feng pressed his hands weakly, stabilized everyone, and said slowly: "Please also ask Yuwen County Shou to wait for me to solve the situation in Liaodong!" ”
Yuwen Jiayou got up and bowed for a while, and slowly spoke: "The king is a great talent, come up with such a clever plan to break the enemy, and you should do your part!" ”
After a pause, he continued: "The Khitan has been in the eastern part of the Bohai Kingdom for more than ten years, and the Bohai State is a multi-ethnic country, with many Chinese people living in its territory, such as the Jin, Goguryeo, Khitan, Han people, Xi people, nine surnames, Zahu, Dagu, and Uighurs. ”
The crowd listened intently.
Liu Feng also smiled and listened to Yuwen Jiayou's explanation for everyone, in fact, he already knew the situation in Liaodong, Yuwen Jiayou and Li Qi were all Bohai relics, and there were even many Bohai relics in the Lion City Gaocheng.
The Bohai State, which was destroyed by the Khitan, was also a vassal state between the white mountains and black waters, although the culture and politics all imitated the Central Plains, but as Yuwen Jiayou said, the ethnic groups are quite mixed.
However, fortunately, the black soil of the Bohai Sea is fertile, and the production is quite numerous, and there is evidence, "the noble people are said to be the dodder of Taibai Mountain, the kelp of the South China Sea, the soybean of Zhacheng, the deer of Fuyu, the pig of Yanjie, the horse of the guest, the cloth of Xianzhou, the cotton of Vaud, the silk of Longzhou, the iron of the city, the rice of Lucheng, and the crucian carp of Meituo Lake." There are nine (pill) plums and pears for pleasure. ”
The message sent back by the internal guard with the merchant ship, not only that, after the Khitan destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the crown prince Yelu was named the "human emperor", because the Bohai Sea was in the east of Liao, so it was called the Dongdan Kingdom.
The Dongdan Kingdom was governed according to the Bohai system, and the monarch had the right to appoint 100 officials, and every year he paid 50,000 fine cloth, 100,000 coarse cloth, 1,000 horses, and four prime ministers, two each of the Khitan and Bohai people.
However, Yelubei was forced into exile in the Southern Tang Dynasty by his mother Shu Luping, and Dongdan was also ruled by Yelu Deguang's tyranny, and the people were deeply resentful, and his son was also the new Khitan emperor Yelu Ruan, but he was still rectifying internal affairs and could not meddle in Dongdan affairs for the time being.
Even if there is no memory of later generations, when Dan paid 150,000 horses of coarse fine cloth to the Khitan every year, it can be imagined that the Bohai Sea in Liaodong produced a lot of wealth.
With Yuwen Jiayou's introduction, in the wild land of Zhongdong, the wealth of output is comparable to that of the north, and even the entire Bohai region of eastern Liaodong, the population is also one million, which is equal to the Khitan.
Not only Liu Feng was tempted, but several people here were also tempted, such a plastered place, if it was placed in his own hands, how many villagers could live?
"Envoy, it seems that it is slightly inappropriate to directly attack the old land of the Bohai Sea!" Yuwen Jiayou's eyes stared at the mountain map, and he said,
Liu Feng smiled with interest: "What's wrong?" It doesn't hurt to be honest! ”
"I think it's better to attack Pingzhou, Pingzhou is the old land of the Tang Dynasty, and it was also the county of Andong Prefecture, and it is now the territory of Khitan Zhongjing Road! Attacking Pingzhou can cut off the trade between the Khitan Nanjing Xijin Mansion and the Tokyo Liaoyang Prefecture. Moreover, Pingzhou is mostly a gathering place for the Xi people, which is convenient for the monarch to govern! ”
Liu Feng couldn't help but bow his head when he heard this, and there was nothing different from his own thoughts, which showed that Yuwen Jiayou also had considerable opinions about Liaodong.
Everyone in the hall was full of excitement, but they didn't know that Liu Feng was going to send that general to lead the army to attack, but everyone in the hall was afraid that there was no chance.
"How is Cao Zheng?" Liu Feng turned his head, Jie Yu, and suddenly asked,
Deng Jieyu was silent for a moment, and then said: "Although I don't know the book, I am loyal and brave, quite resourceful, and can share weal and sorrow with the sergeant, and I am a great general." ”
"This attack, there will be Cao Zheng's leader!" Liu Feng waved his hand and immediately decided on the leading candidate.
Yuwen Jiayou suddenly arched his hand and said: "Monarch envoy, there is a certain person recommended to the monarch, the Xi remnant Sertan, who was originally a bandit in Feishui Town, this person is also a strong general, and he is quite familiar with Pingzhou and other places. ”
"Exactly! Order it to be in the special warfare capital and stand by to fight! Liu Feng responded happily, "Let your subordinates prepare, this matter must not leak the slightest rumor, and those who violate the order will be severely punished!" ”
The people took the command and departed.
In the next few days, in various camps, the soldiers of the Xi and Bohai tribes were all transferred, while Guo Chongtao, Deng Jieyu, Li Qi, Cao Zhengyu, and Wen Jiayou were in the sea wolf camp to complete the homework left by Liu Feng.
The formulation of the plan to fight Pingzhou, including its logistics route and the filing of various situations, has a hint of the shadow of a staff officer.
There is a ballista as a sharp weapon, in the siege, it can hit the opponent without a hand, and the ballista that has been tested in the Qizhou War has been slightly improved, and the range accuracy has increased slightly.
A few days later, on the beach along the coast of Gaocheng, this army that was about to go out for the expedition conducted a drill, and more than 1,000 sergeants of the four were led by Cao Zheng to cooperate with the drill.
As the most elite sergeant in Fanyang Mansion, his figure was fierce and vigorous, which made Chai Rong, who came with him, stunned.
Out of certain considerations, this attack was not under the banner of Fanyang Mansion, but under the banner of recovering the Bohai Kingdom, one was to disrupt the public and the other, and the other was to expand the influence in order to contain part of the Khitan forces.
……
And when Liu Feng was preparing for the war, someone from the Later Han Dynasty finally sent someone to discuss with Liu Feng, and to his surprise, it was only his old acquaintance Feng Dao who came this time.
High City, in the camp of the sea wolf.
Liu Feng said with a smile: "Mr. is here, who is he a lobbyist for?" ”
"Definitely!" Feng Dao shook his head, sat down with a big grin, looked like a bamboo in his chest, and said, "I didn't come here to lobby the envoy, but to save the life of the envoy." ”
"The gentleman laughed." Liu Feng was a little tired, and said in a deep voice, "This gentleman is very good, why worry about your life?" ”
"People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries." Feng Dao said with a slight profoundness, "If the envoy does not listen to the good words of the next minister, there will be a disaster!" ”
"Huh?!" Liu Feng was unmoved, "But please speak up!" ”
"Presumably, the envoy also knows the meaning of this visit! The envoy is a talented and intelligent person, and he must not waste food because of choking, that matter is decided by the official family, and the military envoy only needs to garrison Yucheng and do a containment form! ”
Liu Feng smiled undeniably, thinking to himself, this Feng Dao is also a wonderful person, and he actually said it so bluntly.
Feng Dao admonished again: "The army under the command of the monarch is only 50,000, and the Khitan army is hundreds of thousands, it is easy to level the northern land, if the monarch envoy can't resist to the death, the villagers in the northern land will be plundered again, and this sin will be counted on that person?" ”
Liu Feng was angry when he heard this, and said coldly: "I don't know what Mr. Feng has to teach?" ”
Feng Dao stroked his willow whiskers and said slowly: "Guo Wei caused chaos in the dynasty, and the soldiers under his command acted as tigers, but they have aroused the anger of the people, and the monarch is just pushing the boat down the river!" ”
"Do you want to push the boat with the current?" Liu Feng muttered,
Feng Daoshi Shiran said: "The monarch envoy can not use the sword soldiers, but also live countless villagers in the northland!" ”
Dao, sanctimonious persuasion, Liu Feng was originally full of anger, I don't know when it was discharged, the lives of ordinary villagers seem to be worthless forever for these people, but this is the true reality of the troubled times.
