Chapter 54: Chen Yan's Grand Strategy
Chen Yan rode on the horse, looked at Lu Yuanpei condescendingly, and nodded lightly.
"So what?"
"Bastard, do you know what you're doing?"
Lu Yuanpei glared angrily, and his beard was all open and glared at Chen Yan and said.
"Robbing the imperial court coins and attacking and killing the envoys of friendly countries, do you want to rebel?"
Chen Yan nodded very calmly, and looked at Lu Yuanpei with an expression that you had discovered the big secret.
"How do you know?"
Lu Yuanpei: "......"
Lu Yuanpei always thought that this was just a thief who robbed the road, so he wanted to give Chen Yan a big hat to scare him, but he never expected that Chen Yan really wanted to rebel.
"You...... You ......"
Lu Yuanpei pointed his finger at Chen Yan and said stumblingly.
"You want to do such a rebellious thing, no king and no father, it's simply no king and no father!"
"It's not that I'm thinking, but I'm already doing it."
Chen Yan said again.
Chen Yan couldn't figure it out, if he wasn't a rebellion, then how could it be?!
"Traitor, traitor, you will definitely be exterminated by the imperial court! ...... by all means."
Lu Yuanpei pointed to Chen Yan's nose and said, Chen Yan's eyes were cold, staring at Lu Yuanpei.
"Come on, pull this official down of the Ministry of Rites, and when we march into Anping City, take his head and sacrifice the flag!"
Chen Yan's tone was murderous, but the information revealed made everyone excited.
They're finally going to attack Anping City!
No need to keep wandering around the countryside!
"Yes!"
Many of the captured sergeants shouted excitedly.
……
The army returned to Anping, and Chen Yan began to prepare intensively for the attack on Anping City.
In the entire Anping County, only one county is left, Anping City, which is not under the control of the Dang Army!
As for the surrounding counties of Anping County, the Dang Capture Army also swept outside the county seat, surrounding one lonely city after another, as long as Chen Yan wanted, he could capture several counties at any time.
Even if Chen Yan attacked Qinzhou City, which had been taken away with heavy troops and became extremely empty, it was not impossible for him to capture it!
But Chen Yan would not choose to do this, Qinzhou's relationship is too big, although it is not as important as Fengxiang Mansion, a place where heavy troops gather, but it is the place where Qinfeng Road is located.
It's too much at stake!
But if Qinzhou is captured, the impact will really be too great!
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Great Song Dynasty is shaking!
Before he didn't have enough strength, Chen Yan wouldn't touch Qinzhou.
But Anping's fat on the side of his mouth, Chen Yan will not let it go, as for the impact of conquering Anping, Chen Yan does not think that he has a great impact on robbing the Western Xia coins.
In other words, Chen Yan has the confidence to be able to resist!
As for the capture of Anping, Chen Yan has not yet planned the road ahead, and in the face of the increasingly chaotic situation, he can only take one step at a time.
……
In the camp of the Dang Captive Army, Chen Yan was discussing strategies with many high-level leaders of the Dang Captive Army.
"First of all, we want to take Anping City, and after taking Anping, we will sweep the nearby states and counties, but don't do anything to Fucheng for the time being."
"We can't touch Qinzhou City for the time being, but we can develop to the west and find a way to completely open the passage between us and Western Xia, in order to get ready to march to Western Xia."
Wu Linglong stood up and said with some hesitation.
"As far as I know, the king of Western Xia at this time should be Li Qianshun, who has been in power for more than 30 years, and generally speaking, the Western Xia is quite stable."
"The combat effectiveness of the army is also good, do we really want to develop towards the Western Xia side?"
Chen Yan nodded.
"I don't think that the elite of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, who fought an old war, would be easier to deal with than the Western Xia."
"Although the Seed Master Dao went north to transfer away a lot of elites from the Seed Army, the Western Army is still supported by the Broken Family and the Yao Family, and the combat effectiveness is not bad."
Chen Yan's plan was to develop in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty first, conquer the city and make the strength of the Dang captivity army stronger, and then the army would enter the territory of Western Xia and seize the salt mines of Western Xia.
After that, he used the salt mines of Western Xia and the steel he could make in large quantities, that is, the profits of salt and iron, to make money and develop the army.
When the news of the defeat of the northern army came, the Song army was defeated and the Liao State was about to perish, so they took advantage of their geographical advantages to occupy a grassland in the north and used it to breed war horses.
Then go south to capture the entire Qinfeng Road, and truly lay the foundation for the country!
And the war horse is Chen Yan's preparation for going north to conquer the steppe in the future and exterminate the Mongolian tribes that are gradually rising.
……
A piece of news came to Anping City, and Song Zhiwen in Anping City seemed to have been struck by lightning.
The Sweeper Army is preparing to attack the city!
Finished!
Song Zhiwen knew that he was finished, how could a small Anping City be able to stop the wolf-like army!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The dull sound of war drums sounded, and the captives lined up in a neat military formation and began to advance towards Anping City.
The ladder was pushed under the city walls, and the soldiers of the Dang Capture were dressed in thick plate armor, ready to enter the city for battle, but before they could attack.
The gate of Anping City was unexpectedly opened from the inside, and the dejected Song soldiers escorted a middle-aged man in a civilian official robe out to surrender.
"This lord, I am Bo Sun Yousheng, the lord of Anping County, who took Song Zhiwen of Anping Zhixian County, and came to surrender!"
"Please also ask the adults to hang the curtain and I will calm the people of the city, and don't use the sword soldiers!"
Sun Yousheng stood in front of Chen Yan, bent over, and said too humbly.
Anping City has been besieged for several months, and the food and supplies in the city have long been exhausted, and it is completely a fool's dream to resist the attack of the Dangling Army.
If the Dang Capture Army does not attack again, maybe someone in the county will take the initiative to come out and surrender!
This time, the Dang Capture Army officially attacked the city, and Song Zhiwen, the county governor, originally planned to resist desperately, but many Song soldiers and people in the city had no desire to fight.
Directly tie up Song Zhiwen, and then recommend the lord Bo Kaicheng to surrender to Chen Yan!
Chen Yan nodded slightly, didn't even look at Sun Yousheng, jumped out of the horse, and walked to the city gate.
"Send a large army into the city, block the treasury, control the entrances and exits of each city gate, open the granary and open the warehouse to release grain!"
Chen Yan ordered, the siege of the city for several months, what has become of the city, to be honest, Chen Yan has no bottom in his heart.
So Chen Yan's first order was to open a warehouse and release grain!
The captives are slaughtered into the city, step! Trample! Trample!!
The sound of neat footsteps echoed throughout Anping City, and the people hid in their homes in panic, looking through the crack in the door as the armor was complete, and the mighty army passed by in front of their homes.
I'm worried about a military disaster that could happen at any time!
They were afraid that these big-headed soldiers would break into their homes, kill them, and rob them of their few possessions.
But it turned out that their worries were unnecessary, except for the sound of neat footsteps outside the door from time to time, Anping City was very calm.
