Chapter 450: A Change in the Battle Situation
Emperor Tianzuo is dead!
The garrison of the Liao State was completely destroyed.
All this happened within half a month of Dong Shuang and Wang Yu sending troops to attack the Liao State.
These shocking news were like a big rock falling from the sky and slamming into the already cracked ice.
Then, the ice cracked, and one stone stirred up a thousand waves!
"I didn't expect the situation to come to this point."
In the big tent, Dong Shuang rubbed his head, he looked at the combat sand table in front of him, and the current situation in the world on it, and only felt that his head was sore.
Dozens of generals of the nearby Shenwu Army also looked solemn, they stood in the big tent, thinking about their own strategies, and at the same time looked at Dong Shuang, hoping that he could make a decision.
In order to think about the battle situation and the best decision-making plan at the moment, this person has not slept for three days and three nights.
The current situation, in any case, is too reversed!
originally thought that Jin Liao would at least join forces for a period of time, and wait until the next attack of the Song Dynasty to gain the upper hand before making a move, Dong Shuang never thought that this Yan Lou Room would actually choose to stab him in the back at this juncture!
Now, Emperor Tianzuo, the ruler of the Liao Kingdom, actually died so easily at the hands of the Jin people, it seems that their strength has always been too underestimated!
You must know that Emperor Tianzuo is now dead, and the influence on the ruling class of Liao and the domestic changes can be said to be huge.
Although the main force of the Liao State still exists, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of Wu Yanguang and Yelu Yuanyi are still there, they don't know where to go to rest since they were beaten away by Shi Wengong and Jin reinforcements outside the Daimyo's mansion.
But these people must still be in Hebei, Dong Shuang just held his head with his right hand, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he seemed to be thoughtful in his eyes, just analyzing all the details of this time.
He was thinking, what should he do this time, in order to figure out the situation accurately, be foolproof, do not have any omissions, and truly control the overall situation!
If you can't make an accurate judgment, then it is very likely that in this chaos, not only will you not get a piece of the pie, but you will also ask for hardship!
And the premise of these things is to make clear all the forces participating in the battle, as well as the forces of all sides.
"Brother Lin, Brother Yanqing, you can provide us with the information for the next time."
Dong Shuang just straightened up slightly, he looked at Lin Chong, Yan Qing and the others in armor on the opposite side of the sand table and said.
"Yes!" The second general just arched his hand, and then they waved their hands, and immediately a small colonel went down to convey the order.
In less than a moment, someone had already submitted the intelligence secret letter and displayed it on the sand table in front of Dong Shuang.
"That's probably the case." Lin Chong frowned, he looked at those drawings and secret documents and just said: "The main Jin army participating in the war is expected to have at least 500,000 troops, most of which are iron cavalry, and they should still stay in the Youzhou area at present to rectify the miscellaneous affairs of the Liao State."
"And then there's our former adversary, our old friend, and the still nowhere to be found, Marshal Wuyan." Dong Shuang said, but his tone was calm.
As for Yelu Dun and Yelu Dashi and others who escaped from Youzhou, although they are completely unknown at present, Dong Shuang has no heart to pay attention to the whereabouts of these people.
These people, who have lost everything, are no different from the lost dogs, thinking of this, Dong Shuang moved his eyes to the sand table.
The most important thing now is the movement of the Jin people and the position of Wu Yanguang, and how to resolve the next conflict with the Jin country.
Is it war, is it and?
Now that Wu Yanguang has gone north, the main force of the Liao army is still alive, and the Emperor Tianzuo is dead, he will definitely fight with the Jin army with all his might, even if the Jin army can wipe them out, if it is not these Jurchens, they are not afraid that I will sit and watch the world, and after the fisherman makes a profit, he will go all out to solve the weak force, and they have lost a lot of them?!
What is the motive of Jin Jun now, how to maintain order with them, fight or practice, all this, Dong Shuang has no prediction at all.
After another moment, Dong Shuang held his head, he looked at the place marked on the map and just smiled: "Wuyan, I'm afraid they don't know yet, the current situation seems to be clear for a while, but in fact, they have already been in the cage, and the more they struggle, the more ugly they will die."
"Okay, let's go out with the whole army first to take down these main forces of Liao?" Cheng Wan'er looked at Dong Shuang, who was still looking sad on the side, but her tone was calm.
"Nope."
Dong Shuang picked up the pen and clicked on the map a few times, then looked at a few places on the sand table, and just sneered: "There are people waiting for Wu Yan Guang, we only need to send half of the people to play with Brother Wu Yan, it's enough!"
"What do you mean......"
Lin Chong frowned, but looked at Dong Shuang with gloomy eyes and said, "Could it be that Jin Guo and we will have some contact?"
"I really can't hide anything from you, Brother Lin."
Dong Shuang walked outside the big tent, he just smiled and said, "Let's go, it's time for us to take the initiative to meet the generalissimo Wanyan who swept the entire Liao region."
Dong Shuang left Lin Chong and Ma Lin, Ou Peng, Jiang Jing, and Sun Liwu to garrison outside the city of the Daimyo's Mansion and let them contain Shi Wengong, while he led a large group of men and horses to divide into two routes, one led by Lu Junyi, Zhu Wu and Wu Song, and led 70,000 troops along the way to explore the main force of the Liao State that pursued Wu Yanguang and others.
Because his uncle's family was slaughtered by the Jin-Liao coalition army in Bazhou, Wang Yu hated the Liao people to the core, so he led an army of 100,000 to follow Lu Junyi.
As for Dong Shuang himself, he led the other half of the people to Youzhou.
Sure enough, halfway through, there was a secret letter sent to Dong Shuang by the regent of Dajin, the generalissimo of Zhenguo, Wanyan Lou's room.
Dong Shuang opened it and read it, only to see the book:
To His Royal Highness the King of Your Country.
The former has Khitan thieves, shameless, arrogant and cruel, tyrannical and unreasonable, since the founding of our Jurchen state, they have not regarded us as the same kind, repeatedly bullied, oppressed us to the point that we can not survive, it is really not human.
Some time ago, the invasion of the land of the big country, it was really helpless, it was the Khitan thieves who took my hostages in their hands and forced it, this time there was a little result and unloaded the mill to kill the donkey to kill us, although the country was weak, but also could not bear to be so humiliated, so he raised a large army, and the Khitan thieves fought to the death!
As for the conflict and killing of the former, I hope that your country will not care about the past suspicions, we are willing to apologize with a golden gift, and hope that your country can form an alliance with the contempt country to fight the Khitan thieves, and then the king of Wangqi will come and sign an alliance with him, and he will be fair to the world!
The regent of the Jin Kingdom, the book of the Lou room.
Dong Shuang and the generals saw it, and Yang Zaixing was the first to sneer: "This Jurchen dog thief, obviously the same as the Khitans, and he said it so high-soundingly, how can they be the victims!"
"Isn't it?" Cheng Wan'er only snorted coldly on the side: "Obviously the strength is so strong, they can easily destroy the Khitans, and they pretend to form an alliance with us, I think they are still afraid of our strength, and they don't want to be enemies of us and the Liao army at the same time, so they come to form an alliance with us, right?"
"Yes, big brother, then you must not go to their territory to sign an agreement, maybe their alliance is not sincere but to paralyze us." Liu Yun just frowned, and the letter didn't say where it was signed, what if it was in the territory of Jinguo?
Also, now this is the cooperation between Daqi and Dajin, and it can't be signed on the land of the Song Dynasty, but if you go back to Shandong to sign, it will be too much waste of time at this critical juncture.
"So, there's a high probability that they'll go to their territory to sign it, right?"
Hua Rong held his head in his right hand, and he stood next to him, his eyes flickering violently.
"You're right."
Dong Shuang put down the secret letter, he looked at the night outside the tent, but he just smiled.
"I'm not just going, I'm going alone, because I have a lot to talk to my old friends alone."
Suddenly, the sound of scouts could be heard outside.
"Report, there is a person who claims to be the King of the Great Golden Swallow Chu Jianglou, and he wants to see the King of Qi!"
At this time, at this time, Chu Jianglou actually came to Dong Shuang's camp in person, alone?
What a lot of courage!
Thinking of the conflict with Chu Jianglou in Yanzhou some time ago, for a while, everyone hesitated for a while, not knowing how to make a decision, but Dong Shuang still smiled and agreed to meet him directly.
As soon as Chu Jianglou came in, he claimed to invite Dong Shuang and Dajin to form an alliance.
Dong Shuang asked everyone to go out for the time being, and Cheng Wan'er just glared at Chu Jianglou before going out.
Chu Jianglou just smiled back at her, Cheng Wan'er gritted her teeth and went out with anger.
After seeing that there were only two people, Dong Shuanger didn't say anything, he just agreed with a smile, and said that he would go to the meeting alone, go to Youzhou and Wanyan Lou Room to sign a contract agreement between the two sides, and the two sides will attack Liao from the north and south to temporarily maintain peace and cooperation.
"Why, with such a neat promise, don't you want to leave me to get rid of this scourge, or to reveal my true identity to your emperor when I return?" Chu Jianglou sat on the chair in the big tent, he took a sip of tea slowly, and just looked at Dong Shuang with a smile.
"Brother, are you taking me for a fool?"
Dong Shuang clasped his hands to his chest, leaned on the wooden chair and just smiled and said, "As far as my relationship with that emperor Lao'er, do you think I just said that his daughter slept with me, will he believe it?"
Chu Jianglou just held his forehead and smiled: "That's right, Brother Dong's metaphor is a bit vivid, if my guess is right, my father-in-law is probably trying to find a way to kill you, right?"
"Alright, it's almost all over for today."
Dong Shuang stood up, just looked at Chu Jianglou with a calm face, put his hands behind his back and said: "Brother Chu, today we are talking here as brothers, everything is just a private matter, and it will never be leaked out, you can rest assured of my character, but I still have a few sincere words that I want to tell you."
"Oh, listen to me." Chu Jianglou just smiled and put down the teacup, looked at Dong Shuang and said.
"I don't care if you're Han or Jin, how many identities you have, they have nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care."
Dong Shuang, who was originally looking outside the big tent, turned around slowly, and when he looked at Chu Jianglou, his face also sank a little.
"If you still recognize me as a brother, don't let me see you killing innocents indiscriminately or appearing on the battlefield where I killed red-eyed people in the future, otherwise, our three brothers will only have to meet each other with swords and guns."
After speaking, Dong Shuang just spoke calmly, and sat down on the nearest chair next to him, just poured a cup of tea and tasted it slowly.
"Brother Dong, you are really a heroic man of benevolence and righteousness, worthy of my admiration."
Chu Jianglou stood up slowly, he walked all the way to the door of the big tent, looking at the darkness outside, he just put his hands behind his back.
The two of them faced each other like this, and the silence in the room was almost audible.
Finally, Chu Jianglou still spoke.
"You can rest assured, I have my position, you have your justice, this is our different place, everyone will come to the end of this road and never look back, but never take a detour, this is what we have in common."
After speaking, Chu Jianglou just turned to look at Dong Shuang and said with a smile: "How about it, if you want to, how about we leave now?"
At the same time, hundreds of miles away in this quiet and peaceful place, the atmosphere was tense.
Here, Wu Yanguang's whole army stepped up north along the path, but one night, just out of a valley, they were ambushed!
"Bastard, who the hell is it!"
Yelu Yuanyi was charging as a vanguard, but he suddenly tripped over the tripping horse rope, and he suddenly roared and looked at the cliffs around him.
There are ambushes everywhere!
As soon as Yelu Yuanyi turned around, he saw a general rushing over from the mouth of the canyon!
"Get out of the way!"
Wu Yanguang slammed into Yelu Yuanyi, Fang Tian's halberd was on top with all his might, only to hear a burst of firelight flickering, he retreated dozens of steps in a row, vomiting blood, and finally withstood the extremely powerful and terrifying power of this charge.
"Tsk, nosy!"
Yelu Yuanyi looked at the embarrassed Wuyan Guang, but he only sneered.
When he turned around, the ambush soldiers and horses had already rushed over, and Yelu Yuanyi didn't have time to take care of other things, so he asked Yelu Guoguang to reorganize the troops, and he took Li Jinwu's soldiers and horses who had just arrived to reinforce and killed the ambush soldiers and horses.
"Shi Yunyin, it's you again, what a ghostly guy!"
Wu Yanguang sneered, he looked at the general holding the meteor hammer opposite, but said disdainfully: "What, Dong Shuang is crazy, even if we are already in an unfavorable situation, we think that sending you to ambush can fight against me?!"
After speaking, Wu Yanguang just roared angrily: "Listen to the order, the whole army will first rectify and kill out of the canyon, set up the "Infinite Heaven Array", and destroy these thieves!" ”
The elite of the Liao soldiers were well-trained, and immediately under the leadership of Yelu Guoguang and other generals, Shi Bao's soldiers and horses were driven out in a burst.
"Haha, we can't use the formation to split your body today, boy!"
Yelu Yuanyi waved his spear and fought with Shi Bao, but he laughed wildly: "I think Dong Shuang is crazy, boy, none of you 10,000 people can run away today, Lao Tzu wants to let you all die, give grandpa and me to relieve my hatred!"
After saying that, the Liao soldiers had already set up the Chaotian Infinite Array, and they surrounded Shi Bao's troops inside and launched a ferocious attack.
However, Shi Bao just sneered all the time.
"Lord Marshal, don't take it lightly now!" Li Jinwu said in a low tone on the side: "When Your Majesty sent me out of the city to find you for reinforcements, the national capital was already besieged by Jurchen thieves, and now I have to hurry back to the army, otherwise Your Majesty will be in danger!"
However, as he spoke, two more armies rushed in from the periphery.
Each of them has more than 100,000 people!
"Bastards, it's Wang Yu and Lu Junyi!"
Wu Yanguang was commanding the formation that had just been formed, and when he saw the 200,000 troops killed under the leadership of Lu Junyi and Wang Yu, he was about to go crazy with anger.
When this formation was first arranged, it was the most vulnerable!
Sure enough, as soon as the 200,000 army rushed, Shi Bao also charged in the formation with elite men and horses, Wu Yanguang was helpless, fearing that the main force would lose too much here, so he took the initiative to withdraw and stationed in nearby Yunzhou.
That night, Yelu Yuanyi wandered in his own tent of soldiers and horses, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and he couldn't wait to drive Wu Yanguang away and command it himself.
That night, the change happened again.
In Yunzhou City, rumors are spreading.
Although Wu Yanguang had been personally inspecting the city and the military camp since he entered the city, he could not stop the flood of rumors from spreading despite his exhaustion.
It is said that the Jin army has killed Emperor Tianzuo, and Yelu Dun, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Feng and others all surrendered to the Jin people, and all the members of the royal family have also been slaughtered.
It is also said that Dong Shuangling Lu Junyi, Wu Song, Zhu Wu as the left army, Ma Kuo, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi as the right army, and Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Gongsun Sheng as the main force, three ways together, have already occupied the entire territory of Liao, and formed an alliance with Jin, and is about to attack Yunzhou.
It is even said that Wu Yanguang colluded with the Jin State to claim the emperor himself, and in order to expand his power, he was ready to kill Yelu Yuanyi and annex his descendants.
Wu Yanguang was born in Jurchen, not a Khitan tribe, and many people in the country had hidden precautions, and now rumors spread everywhere, and there were rumors that Emperor Tianzuo was dead all along the way, and the soldiers and horses in the city were suddenly lively.
"Don't believe the rumors, Your Majesty is very stable in Youzhou, I will quickly defeat the thieves here and save Your Majesty, with Your Majesty's personal command, you will be able to turn defeat into victory and revitalize Daliao!"
Wu Yanguang led his soldiers to shout slogans everywhere, almost shouting hoarse, but it didn't have much effect.
The city was completely chaotic, the soldiers and horses almost fought, Yelu Yuanyi led people to rush to Wu Yanguang's mansion to explain, Wu Yanguang was tired and busy for most of the night and barely suppressed the rumors in the army, and barely fell asleep until the fourth watch.
In the afternoon, Wu Yanguang had no choice, in order to calm down the rumors, rectify the morale of the army and restore morale, Liuye Lu Yuanyi led an army of 100,000 to defend the city, and prepared to go out of the city to fight a decisive battle with Wang Yushi Bao Lu Junyi.
Unexpectedly, as soon as they left the city, Shi Wengong, Lu Wenlong, Lu Junyi, Wang Yu, and Shi Bao led at least 500,000 troops and rushed over from five places!
They quickly surrounded Wu Yanguang's 150,000 people in an ambush on all sides, and before Wu Yanguang could react, he became a turtle in an urn in a blink of an eye!
"Bastard, how are there so many enemy troops here, and how was our location discovered?!"
Wu Yanguang was almost crazy, there were rumors everywhere that Emperor Tianzuo was killed, and it was also said that Emperor Tianzuo had surrendered to Yan Lou's room, and the morale of the Liao army could be said to have dropped to freezing point.
It seems that Dong Shuang's main force is not in the Daimyo's Mansion at all, and he himself is probably around here!
Damn, he hit his plan again, and Wu Yanguang clenched his fists tightly, his eyes full of anger.
Now that you encounter more than twice as many enemies, how can you fight them?
It turned out that this battle was Shi Bao's plot to attack the east and west, divide and annihilate, and in order to break the main force in the south of the Liao army, first let Dong Shuang pretend to lead the main force to attack Shi Wengong with great fanfare, and he and Lu Junyi led the men and horses to find the traces of Wu Yanguang, and directly beat the unsuspecting main force of the Liao army!
Who would have thought that halfway Wang Yu would also bring people to help join the battle.
Shi Bao and Bazhou Wang Yu avoided the hatred and joined forces, and when they were about to complete the net, they learned that Dong Shuang had formed an alliance with the Jin people, and the Lu Wenlong troops who had assisted Shi Wengong before the Jin State and Shi Wengong's own army of more than 100,000 also rushed over!
Shi Bao presided over the overall situation, organized the five sides of the soldiers and horses to unite, the two sides of the strength of the disparity is huge, Shi Bao used a divisive strategy to disturb the heart of the Yunzhou army, lured Yan Guang out of the city for a decisive battle, and in a battle, he surrounded the main force in the south of Liao!
There was no hesitation on both sides, and the Liao soldiers couldn't run if they wanted to, so they could only fall into a war that they didn't want to fight.
In the melee, Shi Bao Meteor Hammer killed Li Jinwu, the commander of the Liao Army, Yelu Guoguang was furious, and personally went out to fight Shi Bao for a hundred rounds, and gradually lost the enemy.
"Get out of the way, I'll behead him!"
An angry shout came, Shi Bao subconsciously flashed to the side, and sure enough, a powerful and cold sword light arrived in an instant.
Yelu Guoguang had already exhausted his strength, how could he hide, so he had to resist with a big knife, while shouting: "Who are you!"
"Me?" The young general's meteoric iron spear in his right hand pressed down violently, and the strength was stronger than one wave, he just sneered again: "The young master is the golden general, the first fierce general under the prince of the golden vultures", the double spear general, Lu Wenlong, the one who took your life, I will remember it when I get to the Lord of Yama!" ”
As soon as the words fell, Lu Wenlong pulled out his left pistol, shouted and poked, stabbed Yelu Guoguang under the horse, and was killed instantly.
The Liao people and horses had to fight against an army of 500,000, and in the blink of an eye, they had already suffered heavy casualties, and they were about to be completely wiped out by the three forces.
Yelu Yuanyi had no choice but to take all the men and horses out of the city, and together with Wu Yanguang, he made every effort to adjust the combat effectiveness of the troops, and fought a bloody battle with more than 200,000 troops and the Three Kingdoms Alliance.
"Wu Yanguang is a Han person, Wu Yanguang is a Han person, your emperor has been killed by the Jin people, he wants to lead the soldiers and horses to stand on his own, what do you still do for him!"
Rumors are still spreading everywhere, and the ranks of the Liao soldiers are becoming more and more chaotic, although they have the full command of the Chaotian Wuji Array and Wu Yanguang, and they have not collapsed for the time being, but they are obviously no longer the opponents of the 500,000 troops of the Jin, Liao, and Song tripartite forces ambushed on all sides.
At this time, the scout sent a letter saying that Dong Shuang had gone to attack Xijing, and it was said that Emperor Tianzuo was also there.
Yelu Yuanyi was shocked, and saw that tens of thousands of casualties had been killed and wounded here, and the city was also occupied by the Three Kingdoms Alliance, and if he continued to fight, he would be wiped out sooner or later, and he didn't care about arguing with Wu Yanguang, so he hurriedly took half of the men and horses and the main general to save Xijing.
Wu Yanguang couldn't dissuade him, so he had to let Aliqi and Qiong Demon Nayan follow, and take the iron cavalry to snipe Dongshuang in Xijing first, in order to save the court officials in Xijing and Emperor Tianzuo, who might be there.
Then, Wu Yanguang just gritted his teeth, called the whole army, which was already destined to lose the upper hand, with Tianshan Yong as the vanguard, and ordered the officers at all levels to quickly put things in order, and he personally took the 100,000 troops here to Youzhou to save Emperor Tianzuo.
In this battle, the Liao army lost 50,000 soldiers and horses, was captured, and suffered tens of thousands of casualties.
Shi Bao and Wang Yu, Lin Chong led the men and horses all the way to kill, Wu Yanguang made the three brothers of Yelu Palace, and led the Chinese army to rush thousands of miles, and quickly took the road to Youzhou, Shi Bao and others chased for a few days, and was gradually distanced.
Which is more important, Wu Yanguang is still very clear.
In all fairness, Wu Yanguang is indeed a handsome talent that is rare in a century, and he can support the situation to this point in such adversity, try his best to reverse the defeat, control the whole game, and fight to the death in a desperate situation, not admitting defeat!
However, this time, he is already destined to embark on an uncontrollable path.
He was dealing with the combination of two of today's most powerful forces.
The situation in Liao is difficult for the gods to save.
