When Zhao Yue arrived at the Liao Emperor's side, it was when the herdsmen captured and the slaves and women who took refuge in the pirates were passively or hated or liked to help the northern army rob.

He didn't care about the hateful stare that the captives threw at him, nor did he care about how the Northern Army would efficiently complete the robbery mission or what disciplinary violations there were.

There was only one purpose left for him to rush here with all his strength - to extort the Liao Emperor and the nobles here in the shortest time at the lowest cost. It's better not to sacrifice the lives of soldiers in a fight.

Before the war, he had telegraphed the matter to the headquarters of the Northern Army.

But the Northern Army had no confidence in this.

With the advantage of the northern army, it is not difficult to quickly defeat the camp of the Liao king, and it may not be too difficult to quickly defeat the defenders and rob the wealth, but at the same time, we must try to ensure the integrity of the system of the king's tent army and the central nobles and major civil and military officials of Liao, so that the Liao king still has the foundation to maintain the throne after the disaster, and the Liao king cannot break through or run away or die in the enemy army......

Even the upper echelons of the pirate nation felt that this was an impossible task.

The Liao Emperor is the emperor of the horseback nation, not the cowardly and incompetent scholar Song Huang who can't fight or kill and dare not face the bloody battle at all, not the emperor who can't lead people to forcibly break through with a sword and arrow, and has 40,000 of the most elite Liao troops and tens of thousands of auxiliary soldiers and civilians loyal to the center of the Liao State, and tens of thousands of servants and slaves who can be cannon fodder to obstruct the attack and assist the Liao Emperor and the nobles to escape...... Emperor Liao has enough strength to fight, and he should also have the courage to fight his way out with all his might...... If you can't beat it, can the King of Liao still be so worried that he doesn't know how to run? The horseback people are fierce attackers who come and go, but they are also natural experts in guerrilla raids and escapes. That's their instinctive ability.

Just to maintain the dignity of imperial power and the throne, the King of Liao must also choose to fight first no matter what, and he can't be docile and submit without a fight and lose face and prestige.

For the big guys, face is more important than anything else. When face is gone, there is nothing.

The emperor is no longer the emperor, and the result will only be many times worse than death. This is especially true for the barbarian people who only respect the brave emperor, and the cowardly and disgraced emperor who stepped down.

......

In short, there are 10,000 reasons, and the King of Liao must choose to resist, but there is only one weak reason for the King of Liao to choose to surrender without a fight.

Zhao Yue wanted to make the Liao Emperor and those greedy, barbaric, and crazy Liao nobles surrender their weapons and surrender honestly and sacrifice their flesh-aching beloved everything just by intimidating with military might, how could it be possible?

The plan of the Northern Army was to prepare for a tough battle with the Liao Emperor in this bloody battle, and there was no luck.

But Zhao Yue insisted on doing this, and was confident that he could succeed, so he did it.

Anyway, what Zhao Lao Er wants to do, no one can stop it,

reported to the king and queen and Zhao Gonglian, and the family would definitely just say unprincipledly: Okay, just do it.

Specify no two words.

It may not be the king, they believe that Zhao Yue can still do it this time, the problem is that they are so used to Zhao Lao'er.

For the Cangzhao family, they never thought that their ancestors had never heard of the absolute blessing of any big man, and the grassroots could also be the emperor and the head of the royal family, not to mention the ambition in this area, just to entertain themselves in the poor, boring and hopeless life, a little fun, just think about it, and never have it, but it turned out to be happy and playful, but it really happened. They are naturally happy that everything can be developed according to their own wishes, and they no longer have to be afraid of this, worrying about life, worrying about the way out, and no longer have to be willing to endure humiliation and steal life by the Song rulers...... But in his bones, he may not attach much importance to the throne, and he can build it again if he has no self-confidence, and he has a mentality similar to a happy game.

The most important thing for this family is the inheritance of their children, followed by family unity, family affection and happiness in life. And political happiness is only part of life.

Those smart people who know the Cangzhao family well know in their hearts: If it is a boring thing that leads to family disharmony and suffering, the family will choose to give up nine times out of ten. They will take their cronies to a place where at least no one in the East can find it, rebuild their homeland and paradise, and live freely and happily.

This tendency is actually trying to promote the great changes in the East, and Zhao Yue's ambition to unify the Eastern nation is the most profound, but it is covered up and hidden by the appearance and the light, and people who don't know it can't see this and can't believe it.

Zhao Yue attaches importance to the quality of life itself, rather than the power of the king or not.

Life is short. Life is impermanent. There are too many constraints in life, too much pain, and unsatisfactory. You don't have to take things like kingship too seriously.

As long as a short life can be happy for a lifetime, then it is worth giving up everything, including the kingdom.

And Zhao Yue's tendency is in line with the family's grassroots pursuit, and it also seriously affects the family's choice.

If it really comes to the point of giving up the royal power of the kingdom for the sake of living a happy life, the people of the Mancang Zhao family are afraid that only one truly ambitious Zhao Gonglian will be unwilling.

Looking back, so in this family mentality,

Perhaps the queen, who was afraid that her youngest son would have an accident on the battlefield, would happily say, "It's forced to surrender, and the adventure of not having to fight and kill is the best...... Although the duty of the army is to kill people in battle, it is better to kill less or less...... If someone else will kill them, let's try not to kill them. In order to unify the nations of the East, it is better for the nationalities to avoid mortal enmity between them......"

As for the old ladies of the Cangzhao family, I am afraid that they will be happy and say: "Is there anything in the world that can stump my grandson?" (What others can't do and think it's impossible to do, that's someone else'...... ）”

If Mrs. Zhao Yue heard it on the side, she would have said that she would blindly believe in line with the optimism of the old ladies in her heart, and she was afraid that she would proudly add a sentence in her stomach: "My son is here to create miracles." Don't you know? ”

A game that works miracles,

Yes, this reason is good and powerful!

Since Zhao Yue insisted on it, no one could change it, so maybe he could create another miracle?

Anyway, the old man Zhao Zhuang in the army is also blindly superstitious about Zhao Yue, and many generals have lost their previous steadiness and rigor, and directly shouted, "Our second young master can designate it to be successful, just look at it." "I didn't think about the bad consequences that would happen if Zhao Lao Er didn't create a miracle this time and failed, breaking the myth of omnipotence and losing his prestige.

For the headquarters of the Northern Army: Let's listen to Prince Bao first. It's really not good, so let's fight hard.

Anyway, it won't take much time......

Therefore, the General Staff of the Northern Army formulated a corresponding plan, and the commander-in-chief, Du Bao, personally went to Yunzhong Mansion to rob Xijing Datong to intercept the Liao people fleeing west. Xiao Jiasui, chief of the general staff, was responsible for sweeping Yanshan Mansion, and the most important thing was to clean up the Liao Wang's Department, dispatch 50,000 elite heavy troops to surround it, and strive to form a sufficiently coercive situation against the Liaowang Department to help Zhao Yue succeed in forcing Zhao Yue to surrender as much as possible.

The officers and men of the Northern Army, from the field troops to the logistics support units to the military medical battalions, totaled about 300,000 people, except for the old Zhao Zhuang department who was blindly superstitious about Zhao Yue, the vast majority of the remaining officers and men had never even seen Zhao Yue himself, although they heard a lot about its magic, but they still did not believe that Zhao Yue could succeed.

You don't need to fight a bloody slaughter, you want to just force it, and scare the Liao King with elite heavy troops can easily get his wish?

No kidding.

The fierce barbarian King Liao is not a scholar Han emperor, will it be so useless?

That's impossible.

Probably not.

Oh, Prince Pujibao bragged big enough this time, I'm afraid that he will blow out of line, and he won't be able to contain it, and he will fail and lose his adult......

This is also another kind of fun and motivation that the soldiers of the Northern Army have and look forward to in the joy of indulging in the sacking of the Great Liao Kingdom.

They not only look forward to Zhao Lao Er being able to create a miracle again to prove that he does have the magic of omnipotence, he doesn't have to sacrifice his life to fight, his country has such a strong leader and defense, and they are more hopeful and more at ease, and at the same time, they also want to see Zhao Lao Er's face after his defeat......

It's a very complex mentality, but it's the reaction of human nature.

Human beings always expect that there are really gods and appear in the world, but when there are really god-like characters, they can only be admired and incomparable, and human beings feel uncomfortable again.

That's how complex humans are.

So there is the story of Ye Gong and the good dragon.

This is also the internal reason why people always like to praise the ancients and tend to doubt and deny the present people.

So, what about Zhao Yue's own mentality towards the forced surrender?

He didn't think much about it at all, and he didn't care what other people's attitudes were about it.

In his opinion, it was very simple, and it was not difficult to do. Doubts, thinking that it is impossible, it is because of ignorance. There's nothing to argue about.

He's confident. Continue.

Moreover, he thought that it was not necessary to force the King of Liao to surrender and show the army of more than 50,000 to the King of Liao to increase the deterrent power more certainly, and 20,000 Liang was enough.

This made all the commanders and fighters of the Northern Army even more surprised when they heard about it, and they were also more complicated and excited.

But therefore, in accordance with Zhao Yue's instructions, Xiao Jiasui really arranged for more than 20,000 people to rush up to surround the camp of the Liao King as soon as possible, and the other 30,000 soldiers were responsible for robbing the periphery.

Xiao Jiasui did not do this to honestly carry out Zhao Yue's instructions, nor did he have 100% confidence in Zhao Yue.

He had purely military considerations.

The 50,000 army is indeed a lot, but compared to the Liao forces here, there is no overwhelming absolute advantage, and it may not be able to deter the Liao king if it is all pressed.

And only about 20,000 people are bright, and the rest of the troops are all operating on the periphery, but it can show the absolute confidence of the pirate army in its own combat effectiveness: I can take over nearly 100,000 people in your Liao Kingdom, including the Wang Tent Army, just like the Jurchen can clean up your Liao Kingdom. The Jurchens are invincible. Our pirate army is stronger and more confident than the Jurchens, and 20,000 can sweep everything. At the same time, it can also make the King of Liao unable to figure out the truth and reality, and he is even more afraid of the might of the pirates, but he does not dare to easily break through the siege and escape first.

The Liao Ranger Sentinel detected the danger early on, but when he fled in a hurry to return the letter, it was impossible to observe how many troops the pirates had clearly arrived. They could only report roughly: "Many, many, boundless, all over the mountains, black pressure piece by piece can not be seen, murderous sky, like dark clouds and lightning in the sky, uncountable." Judging by the scale, there should be at least 180,000 of them, and they are all well-equipped fierce and athletic cavalry......"

This is the art of war.

Xiao Jiasui, in order to be a competent chief of staff of the Northern Army, lived up to the trust and expectations of the Cangzhao family in him, and was able to serve the public in the wave of reinforcement of batches of staff officers and generals who had received professional training in military academies, and also for the future of his career, he has been doing his best to learn the method of commanding the army and using troops over the years, and has worked hard together with the practice of martial arts.

In addition, purely from the angle of fighting a war, an encounter must have a front army and a reserve force that can be deployed in a mobile manner according to the battlefield situation.

really used all his forces to encircle the King of Liao, but there might be a loophole and let the King of Liao see the opportunity to get out and successfully escape.

It is impossible for 50,000 troops to enclose a huge nomadic camp with more than 100,000 people. With mobile forces and an unclear blockade on the periphery, it can more flexibly and effectively block the opportunity for the Liao King to break out of the inner circle and escape. Moreover, the Liao people here cannot all be waste leaders who do not know how to fight. The King of Liao must be surrounded by generals who understand military affairs and even contemporary famous generals who accompany the king to be responsible for guarding the center, which is something that he knows with his feet.

No emperor would take his safety for granted.

It is impossible for the King of Liao to defend himself at any time without a reliable general.

Just to lead and deter the delicate soldiers and fierce generals and many savage, greedy and bold nobles with strange and unpredictable minds, they also have to carry the general Zhenshan with them.

And so it is.

The general of the Liao State who guards here is Wu Yanguang, who is known as the first warrior and famous general of the Liao State.

This person is a die-hard loyalist of the King of Liao, and Yelu Yanxi, the King of Liao, behaves absurdly, but he is not a fool, and he also trusts and reuses Wu Yanguang. The official position held by Wu Yanguang is the commander of all the royal tent army, that is, the commander-in-chief of the royal forest army of the king of Liao, responsible for all the security affairs of the royal tent camp, whether it is the royal tent army, or the private guards of the major nobles, domestic slaves and other available troops, theoretically in the control and deployment of Wu Yanguang, he has absolute command power in the royal tent camp, and he also has enough prestige in the army.

This person is indeed powerful, no one is invincible in the Liao country, he is also brave and loyal, and the Liao generals are all worshipped, even the arrogant Jin army generals who regard the Liao army as nothing and have all the signs of empty eyes, there are many of them are also afraid of Wu Yanguang, and dare not challenge when they hear his name.

Because at the time when the Liao King personally conquered the Jurchens, although hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated and fled, they were defeated, and there were countless casualties, but it was not Wu Yanguang who was incompetent, but it was Wu Yanguang who commanded and protected the King of Liao, and the Liao King was able to successfully escape the wild pursuit of the Jurchens in the enemy army and save his life. During this period, there were many fierce generals of the Jin army who tried to capture or kill the king of Liao, but they pounced on Wu Yanguang in an unknown situation, but died at the hands of Wu Yanguang, and thus Wu Yanguang became more famous and became the most feared Liao general in the Jin army.

With this person here, he is already a fierce rival of Zhao Yue's desire to succeed.

The King of Liao also has a powerful He Tongjun - He Chongbao, who is the deputy commander of the Wuyan Army, one zhang long, powerful against 10,000 people, making a three-pointed two-edged knife, and some are regarded as strange means of demon law.
