Chapter 290: The Han Warship Sets Sail Smoothly

After more than a year of hard fighting, the loss of troops and generals, although Yunzhou was finally held, but the internal contradictions of the Western Liao army became acute, and the long-suppressed contradiction between the commander of the Eastern Expedition, Xiao Hulira, and the prince of the Western Liao, Yelu Yilie, finally broke out, and the two were almost to the point of incompatibility.

Xiao Lira is the uncle of Yelu Jinjia, the prince of Western Liao, and has always supported his nephew in his struggle for the throne, which has an irreconcilable contradiction with Yelu Yilie. You must know that Western Liao is different from the Han Dynasty after all, there is no tradition of the eldest son inheriting the throne, basically similar to the Jin State, whoever has more power among the princes has a high probability of inheriting the throne. This is still very different from the almost comprehensive sinicization of the Liao State, which is also the first founding emperor of the Western Liao, Yelu Dashi, summed up the reasons for the fall of the Liao State, and made a rectification of the chaos.

Yelu Dashi firmly believed that the fall of the Great Liao was due to the incompetence of the emperor, and if there was an emperor who made a difference, the powerful Liao State would not be destroyed by the small Jin State. This is why he treats his two sons as equals and does not think who is more suitable to inherit the throne. According to the custom of the Khitan aristocracy, the eldest son is outside, and the youngest son is at home. This expedition was the emperor's eldest son, Yelu Yi, and the emperor's youngest son, Yelu Jinjia, was in the capital.

This time, the battle with the Jin army completely shattered the dream of the restoration of the Western Liao. Frightened, Xiao Lira advocated withdrawing his troops and returning to Western Liao. And Yelu Yilie knew that once he went back this time, then the responsibility for the defeat of the army would fall on his head, and then he would be doomed to lose the throne in the future.

Yelu Yilie, who was unwilling to fail, began to fight the idea of Western Xia, and in his opinion, occupying Western Xia could be regarded as the fruit of victory in this expedition, and he would return to China and explain to his father.

For Yelu Yilie to attack Western Xia, this made Xiao Lira very annoyed, he insisted that when the Great Liao was at its peak, he was unable to conquer Western Xia, and now there are only 70,000 remnants of the defeated army, and attacking Western Xia is undoubtedly self-defeating.

There is also a reason why Yelu Yilie insisted on attacking Western Xia, not as simple as gaining prestige for himself to increase the weight of the struggle for the throne. In his opinion, the actual control of the Western Xia is the former Liao co-lord Yelu Nanxian, and he has an old relationship with his father, and he has turned the Western Xia into a part of the Western Liao, I believe that the Empress Dowager of the Western Xia is willing, after all, everyone is of the same ancestry.

In fact, there is another major reason, that is, the internal political situation of Western Xia is unstable, you must know that the Great Song Dynasty forces infiltrated into Western Xia, resulting in a great opposition force within Western Xia, if it is used, it is not impossible to control Western Xia. Moreover, in Yeluyilie's view, as long as he occupies Western Xia, then not only can he inherit the throne smoothly, but he can also fight back. Whether it is to unite the Song army to attack the Jin State, or to unite the Jin State to destroy the Song State, you can grab a lot of benefits, how can you be willing to retreat in this situation?

In the battle between Xiao Lila and Yelu Yilie, the originally neutral Yelu Pu finished quickly, and finally chose to insist on staying, not to help Yelu Yilie, nor to invade Western Xia, but she felt that the army could not return without success, you must know that Yunzhou is tens of thousands of miles away from Western Liao, and if you are defeated, it will cause an uproar in Western Liao, and it will shake the foundation of her father. You must know that not long after the founding of the Western Liao, the domestic foundation is not solid, and this defeat will trigger a series of chain reactions, which will be immeasurable damage to the long-term peace and stability of the Western Liao.

In fact, there is another reason that cannot be told to the outside world in Yelupu Suwan's heart, that is, when the Liao Kingdom fell, he and his mother Xiao Ta did not smoke, and his brother Yelu Yilie was exiled to Jingzhao Mansion. At that time, Liu Zhenglong went to his mother's bed, and for countless nights, she was awakened by her mother's strange voice, and she could see clearly and witness the whole process several times. Revenge, we must take revenge on Liu Zhenglong, the man who bullied his mother, this is also the reason why Yelu Pu Suwan is willing to take the initiative to invite Ying to accompany the army, and it is also the reason why he supports his brother Yelu Yilie to propose not to withdraw the army, but whether to invade Western Xia, she really didn't think about it.

There were endless arguments among the Western Liao generals in Yunzhou, but these had nothing to do with the people in Taiyuan Mansion, everyone knew that the victory had been achieved, and the common people began to take to the streets to celebrate the victory, although they knew that they would move out of Taiyuan City after the New Year, and before that, they were still filled with the joy of victory.

After the victory, everyone has more ideas, and the eight major families have moved out of Taiyuan Mansion together, but now everyone regrets it, after all, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and no one wants to leave their hometown. Everyone began to lobby at the Wang family, hoping that the Wang family could come forward to have a good talk with the king of Han.

In fact, the Wang family is the most reluctant to move away from Taiyuan Mansion, because only here, the Wang family is a special existence, once they leave, that transcendent status will no longer exist. Wang Su, the head of the Wang family, was not sensitive enough to smell, and at the instigation of others, he finally felt that it was necessary to talk to King Han.

The Wang family has a pivotal position in Taiyuan and even the entire Hedong Road, but these are not enough to negotiate with the King of Han.

Wang is the old man didn't expect his son Wang Su to say such a stupid question, after all, his son is the head of the Wang family, and he can't go too far, so he said helplessly: "Do you want to guard the position of the head of the Wang family for the rest of your life, or do you want to have the opportunity to enter the official career and lead the Wang family to meet new glory?" ”

"Father, why do you say that?"

Wang shook his head and said: "The Wang family is indeed a special existence in Taiyuan Mansion, but the Wang family has a big business, and it can't keep the family business to survive. The era of the family gate valve has disappeared in the Tang Dynasty, and the top four families in the Great Song Dynasty, the Cao family, the Pan family, the Gao family, and the Shi family have taken refuge in the Han Dynasty, and sent the top and best disciples to the Han King's command to charge into battle, make meritorious contributions, and send the most beautiful concubines to the Han Wangfu to marry, for what, is it not that the family continues to climb the peak and meet the new glory? The special existence of the Wang family is only in Taiyuan, may it be comparable to the Qian family in Hangzhou? Can it be compared to the Chai family? But they all worked for the King of Han, and you, as the head of the Wang family, have to sing against the King of Han, have you ever thought about the future of the Wang family? ”

"Father, now that the Jin army has been defeated, and the Han army has been stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, why do you have to move away, you must know that the eight major families are unwilling to leave, once they leave, they will give up a lot, a lot, and the child is doing this for the sake of the Wang family."

Wang Ji was very depressed about his son's narrow gaze, and he said helplessly: "The Jin army is destined to go south again after the New Year, and the next knock is not an arrogant guy like Wanyan Zonghan, but the scheming and resourceful Marshal of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Xianye, even the King of Han is not sure of victory, who can ensure that Wang Yu can hold Taiyuan City?" Once the city is broken, the first to suffer must be the eight major families. You are the one who wants to become the ruler of the new dynasty, you are the one who wants to occupy a place in the new dynasty, how can you mix with those dirt buns? After the New Year, the Wang family must be the first to move out of Taiyuan City, and it can't be wrong to go to Jingzhao Mansion, the future capital should be in Jingzhao Mansion, even if it can't become the capital, it can also exist as a companion, and the Wang family will be harmless when they move into Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"But the child has already promised the other seven?"

"It doesn't matter, you come forward to invite the heads of the other seven families, the old man, I will attend in person, and by the way, I will invite the prefect Zhang Chunxiao, as well as the soldiers and horses to supervise Wang Yu, don't invite the King of Han on such an occasion." Speaking of this, Wang immediately paused and said: "After the year, your younger brother Wang Wei will go to Jingzhao Mansion to serve as the prefect, for the Wang family, is there more room for development in Jingzhao Mansion." In addition, your daughter Wang Lingyun is seventeen years old, go to bed in two days, King Han will not treat her badly, nor will she treat the Wang family badly. In the future, once the Han King Dragon flies for nine days, and your daughter gives birth to a dragon son, then does the status of the Wang family need to be said in the future? ”

"The child knows."

In Taiyuan Mansion, the Wang family is a banner, the Wang family is the weather vane, the Wang family said that after the New Year, the family moved to Jingzhao Mansion, in order to show support for the relocation, for those who are willing to move to Jingzhao Mansion with the Wang family, provide funding, and also give a settlement fee.

The king of Han was very satisfied with the exemplary role of the Wang family, and said on the spot that the people of Taiyuan City, led by the eight major families, would be compensated twice as much as the land lost in Jingzhao Mansion. And allowed the eight major families to participate in the business dealings of the Xixia Field, and at the same time gave the people a settlement fee of ten yuan per person according to the head. At the same time, it is tax-free for three years, if there are people in the family who join the army, each person will be given an additional 50 acres of land, 30 yuan, if there is a pension of 100 yuan for the dead, and all the land in the family will be tax-free for ten years.

In the end, 30,000 young people in Taiyuan City stayed to join the army, which greatly exceeded expectations. This gave Wang Yu the confidence to defend the city, and by now, the standard configuration of Taiyuan City has reached 80,000, which is already the limit that Taiyuan City can bear. The grain reserves of Taiyuan City can be maintained for more than a year and a half, and the reserves of materials for defending the city are enough to maintain more than ten large-scale all-round sieges.

The current Wang Yu is full of confidence in defending the city, even the marshal of the Jin Guodu, Wan Yan Xian, led the army to besiege Taiyuan City, with the current configuration of Taiyuan City, there is no problem in holding on for more than a year.

Taking advantage of this period of time, the King of Han put forward a lot of constructive suggestions for the defense of Taiyuan City, and he believed that with Wang Yu, a famous general who is good at defending the city, Taiyuan City will definitely be able to hold on for more than a year.

By the beginning of March of the third year of Jingkang, the people of Taiyuan City had completed their migration, and there were only 80,000 elite soldiers plus 5,000 flame troops left. Thirty cannons, two hundred trebuchets, thousands of thunderbolts, earth-shattering thunder, and a million bows and arrows.

At this time, the army under the command of the King of Han had been formed and reorganized, with a total of 350,000, including 10,000 heavy cavalry Han Wang cavalry and 150,000 cavalry, of which 50,000 were stationed in the territory of Western Xia, and 30,000 were still on the grassland, expanding the results of the battle in the grassland and opening up a second battlefield for the future counterattack against the Jin State. The other 70,000 cavalry were stationed in Taiyuan Mansion, Shuozhou, Jingzhao Mansion, Xijing Luoyang, Jinzhong, Yangquan, and Shangqiu. Stationed in Shangqiu were 10,000 cavalry under Yue Fei's command.

The military system of the Han army was that every 10,000 soldiers was an army, and each army had three divisions, each with 3,000 people, of which 1,000 were guards. Below each division were three regiments of a thousand men each. Below each regiment were five companies, each of which had two hundred men. Below each company were two platoons of a hundred men each. The platoon is the smallest unit, the commander is the platoon commander, the company commander is the company commander, since the company has been stationed by the members of the Dragon Soul Society, the commander of the Dragon Soul Society at the first level of the company is called Zhengling, the commander of the regiment is the regiment commander, the commander of the Dragon Soul Society is called Tuanzheng, the general officer of the division is the division commander, the commander of the Dragon Soul Society is called Shizheng, the general officer of the army is called the army commander, and the chief of the Dragon Soul Society is called the chief of staff.

Mr. Jin Jian, Li Zhu, was secretly executed because of his secret dealings with the imperial court, and the five armies stationed in Western Xia were reorganized into the First Corps, which was commanded by Guozhang Zhe Keqiu, and the chief of staff of the corps was Zhiduoxing Wu Yong. The five army commanders below are Zhi Yanhu, Zhang Xian, Lu Junyi, Lin Chong, and Pan Youbao.

The first army was a legion directly under the Han king, and there was no clear station, and the place of station was decided according to the situation of the battle. Stationed on Hedong Road, the Second Army, the Fourth Army, the Fifth Army, and the Sixth Army are the Second Corps, the corps commander is Heberon, and the chief of staff of the corps is Zhu Wu, the Shenwu military division. The Third Army stationed in Jingzhaofu, the Seventh Army stationed in Luoyang, and the Eighth Army stationed in Shangqiu formed the Third Corps, with Wang Yin as the commander and Sun Sheng as the chief of staff.

The 30,000 horses on the grassland were organized into an army, that is, the Longwei Army, led by Xiao Gan, with three commanders below, and the formation was different from the Han army, and it was relatively free.

The 200,000 infantry were all stationed in Jingzhao Mansion, and they were organized into four major corps, namely the Longxiang Corps, the Longwei Corps, the Longzhan Corps, and the Longzhen Corps.

In fact, in addition to the 350,000 army, there are also 70,000 naval troops, namely Liang Hong's 20,000 Eastern Navy, Li Jun's 20,000 Southern Navy, Ruan's Sanxiong's 10,000 Western Navy, Zhang Shun and Zhang Heng's 10,000 Northern Navy, and Tong Wei and Tong Meng's 10,000 Town Navy.
