Chapter 260: Opening the Mansion (Ask for Subscription!) )
After taking Liaoxijing bloodlessly, Cai still let people check it out, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Liaoxijing has:
grain 4,700,000 stones;
thirty-seven thousand six hundred and thirty-three horses;
five thousand two hundred and twenty-three cattle;
1,731 camels;
ninety-seven thousand six hundred fifty-five sheep;
Twelve hundred and seventy-three thousand two hundred and nineteen fine weapons;
There are more than 75,000 pieces of fine armor - including more than 30,000 pieces of paper armor, more than 20,000 pieces of leather armor, about 20,000 pieces of chain mail, and more than 5,000 pieces of fine Western Xia cold forging armor;
more than 5,000 fine vests;
There are countless treasures of gold and silver.
It can be said that Cai Ying, who has won one of the five capitals of Liao, finally has a self-sufficient capital in Yundi.
At this time, Cai's existing management structure was no longer enough to support him in managing most of the cloud.
Cai still officially opened the government for the purpose of reasonable management.
Tsai still appointed, through due consideration:
Long history: Li Gang.
Sima: Chen Yu.
Records of joining the army: Wu Yong, Chen hoop bucket.
Sheren: Zhao Liangsi.
Narrator: Lu Jiang.
Counselor: Chen Gongfu.
Cao: Li Guang.
Hu Cao: Zhao Kai.

Wuzhou Zhizhou: Chen Kangbo.
Xinzhou Zhizhou: Hu Shijiang.
Huanzhou Zhizhou: Zhang Kejian.
Yunzhong (Liaoxijing, Zhao Ji changed its name to Yunzhong) prefect: Li Gang concurrently.
In addition to this team, Cai still has two teams.
One is the Political Department.
Minister: Li Wei.
Political cadres are present in all government departments and in all armies.
One is the General Staff.
Chief of General Staff: Lin Shiyi.
Lin Shiyi is Cai Ying's fellow townsman, he is also a Xianyouren, the son of Lin Yu, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was born in a scholarly family, studied the scriptures diligently since he was a child, and learned martial arts, both civil and military, with his father Lin Yu as a third-class borrower, awarded the Privy Council, Xuancha Jize County (later southern Hebei) County Lieutenant, Cai still met with him, he served Cai still and belonged to one of the people who served Cai still earlier, when Cai still formed a staff system, he began to serve as a staff officer, all the way to the current chief of general staff.
In addition, Cai is still expanding the army in detail on the basis of the recent army expansion, and will be deployed and deployed in detail.
First of all, Cai still expanded the Jinwu Front Army, the Jinwu Middle Army, the Jinwu Left Army, the Jinwu Right Army, the Jinwu Rear Army, as well as the Xuanfeng Army, the Tabai Army, the Beiwei Army, and the Trap Army from 5,000 to 10,000.
Secondly, because there were more than 100,000 war horses in front and back, and because the Yanbei Plain needed good mobility, the Jinwu Front Army, the Jinwu Middle Army, the Jinwu Left Army, the Jinwu Right Army, the Jinwu Rear Army and the Trap Army, each army formed a 3,000 horse army, in other words, the six armies were composed of 7,000 infantry troops and 3,000 horse troops.
Again, because there were more than 100,000 war horses in total, and the Yanbei Plain needed good mobility, the selection of the front army, the white army, and the back army seized the time to reorganize into a horse army, in addition, in view of the fact that a total of more than 6,000 sets of cold forging armor and nearly 10,000 sets of horse armor were captured, the selection of the front army, the white army, and the back of the army each formed 2,000 heavy armored cavalry.
At last:
The Left Route Army was composed of the Xuanfeng Army, the Jinwu Left Army, and the Shenji Left Army, which was commanded by Yue Fei Rendu, and mainly defended the northern front.
The Middle Route Army was formed by the Jinwu Front Army, the Shenji Right Army, and the Beiwei Army, which was commanded by Wu Jue and mainly defended the Eastern Front.
The Right Route Army was composed of the Jinwu Right Army, the Tabai Army, and the Trap Army, which was commanded by Han Shizhong and was mainly defended on the southern front.
Cai still personally led the Jinwu Central Army and the Jinwu Rear Army, mainly defending the Western Front.
In addition, Cai still ordered to hold a scientific examination and comprehensively select talents, regardless of Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zhubu and other ethnic groups, regardless of age, as long as they consciously have the ability, they can come to take the exam, and Cai still opened the civil and military department at the same time, that is to say, whether you know how to write or know martial arts, you can come to reference, the key, Cai still clearly said on the list that there is a shortage of talents now, and some selection criteria will be slightly relaxed.
In addition, Cai still welcomes the old Liao officials to be reinstated and accepted for assessment.
From Cai Ying's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that in a short period of time, Cai is still ready to consolidate his strength, digest the territory he has already obtained, and is not ready to continue to expand eastward, even if the remaining Confucian and Concubine Erzhou are already Cai Zhen's plate anvil and meat.
Cai still did this, in fact, he was preparing to make a buffer zone between himself and Northern Liao, hoping not to force Northern Liao to rush for the time being, and then not to fight gold, not to fight Song, but to fight himself.
Of course, the main thing is that Cai still hasn't digested the territory that Yundi has already obtained.
Seeing that Cai still stopped expanding eastward, Yelu Yanxi was anxious, because he was only two states away from regaining his freedom.
Yelu Yanxi can be said to have searched for all the people he could find, hoping to persuade Cai to continue to expand eastward through these people, knock down Ruzhou and Yanzhou, and then fulfill the previous promise to let him go, and let him leave with those who are willing to go with him.
Later, Yelu Yanxi even shamelessly begged for the heads of women such as Xiao Duoli, Xiao Guige, Yelu Yabuli, Yelu Guyi, Yelu Yu Liyan, and Yelu Liyan, hoping that they could blow the pillow wind to Cai Ying.
It was also at this time that there were frequent accidents in Cai Ying's occupied area, and the place where the accident occurred was not anywhere else, it was the current center of Cai Ying's power - Yunzhong Mansion.
Because of the rearmament, the strength of Yunzhong Mansion was somewhat empty - only Cai Yi's 3,000 pro-army and 10,000 Jinwu rear army.
The Liao army, which had surrendered, rebelled when Yunzhong Mansion was empty - they gathered more than 30,000 people and camped in the west of Yunzhong City, preparing to attack Yunzhong Mansion and rescue Yelu Yanxi.
Moreover, the Liao Zhangguo army made Geng Shouzhong and led 7,000 Liao troops from Yingzhou to reinforce, and Yelu Mage also gathered more than 10,000 horses to reinforce.
Faced with such a situation, Cai still personally led the pro-army and the Jinwu rear army to the city to defend it, and ordered all the troops to come to Qinhou with Feinu.
No, the Liao people of Yunzhong Mansion also took advantage of the chaos to rebel, they tried to occupy the west of the city, and then rescued Yelu Yanxi to occupy Yunzhong Mansion.
There was a towering pagoda in the west of the city, and they were perched high on the tower and fired downward, killing and wounding the Jinwu army.
It can be said that the most critical time is when internal and external troubles erupt at the same time.
Fortunately!
At that time, when the Liao army in Liaoxijing surrendered, Cai still collected all the soldiers and horses of the Liao people, and then scattered them and sent them out of the city to help the people spring planting, in this case, although they killed the people who Cai still sent to take care of them, and captured some soldiers and horses, but this soldiers and horses were not many, at least far from enough to arm the more than 30,000 Liao troops.
This allowed Cai to still have time to clean up the Liao people in the city first, and then stick to it and wait for help.
To make a long story short, Zhai Jin attacked the Liao people on the tower with the main force, ordered the soldiers to put the door panel on their heads, and forcibly attacked the bottom of the tower, the Liao people's advantage weakened, and after several bloody battles, the Liao people who guarded the tower were finally annihilated, Zhai Jinfu climbed the tower with elite pawns, reflected the Liao people who defended the city, and finally recovered the west of the city that the Liao people had taken.
The reinforcements brought by Geng Shouzhong were reinforced, and Niu Gao, who came to reinforce them, fought a big battle forty miles east of Yunzhong City.
Niu Gao's general, Wang Wan, attacked Geng Shouzhong for a while, and the Liao army was beheaded more than 1,000 levels.
Then Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and other armies arrived one after another, Han Shizhong personally led thousands of horse troops, rushed into Geng Shouzhong's Chinese army, and the rest of the Jinwu army was shot from both wings with muskets, bows and arrows, crossbows, and crossbows, the Liao army was almost completely annihilated, and Geng Shouzhong only led hundreds of horsemen to escape.
And Yelu Brother was surrounded and annihilated by Yue Fei's design, lost more than 10,000 horses, and escaped with only two or three thousand remnants of the defeated general.
It can be said that the Liao people's initial rebellion was quelled by the Jinwu army without danger.
But—
Although the Liao people's initial rebellion did not bring much loss to Cai Ying, it made Cai still see that if he didn't handle this matter well, the Liao people's rebellion would definitely not end there.
After thinking for a while, Cai still waved his hand and executed all the Liao people who participated in the rebellion this time, regardless of race.
After this, Cai still found Yelu Yanxi and said to Yelu Yanxi straight to the point: "I can let you go, but you have to write me a gift contract, explaining that Yundi, all the women in Yundi, and Yandi are all voluntarily given to me by Cai Yanxi, as long as you write this contract, I will not only let you go, but also let you take away all the Liao men who are willing to go with you." ”
Yelu Yanxi already knew that Yelu Chun was proclaimed emperor in Yanjing.
In this regard, Yelu Yanxi was very angry!
He didn't expect that his uncle, whom he had always respected, would betray him at a critical moment.
Yelu Yanxi even issued a special edict for this reason, which said:
The destiny of heaven is great, and it cannot be returned; The artifact is the most public, and it is not heard to outwit it...... According to Yelu Chun, he was very unreasonable, betrayed his righteousness, and won the ancestors, I did not dare to pardon, and he should be given the title of official and deprived of it, and his wife Xiao was also demoted to a concubine, and still changed his surname to Yu. According to the emperor's uncle and concubine, it doesn't matter, let alone implement it, and everything is still the same. Alack! Looking up at the will of heaven, subduing public opinion, and reluctantly doing it, I can't bear it, and Zhong Ni is afraid of the Spring and Autumn Rebellion and thieves, and the latter is a minister.
Even, Yelu Yanxi thought that when he was free, he would lead the army back to Yanjing and kill Yelu Chun and Xiao Puxiannu, the dog men and women.
I don't want to, Cai is still so greedy, not to mention Yundi, but also Yandi.
Of course, Yelu Yanxi didn't want to give Yan Di to Cai Yi.
But Yelu Yanxi is the fish on Cai Ying's chopping board, Cai still insists on it, can he not give it?
Considering that the swallow land was also occupied by Yeluchun anyway, let's give it away.
So, Yelu Yanxi personally wrote this alliance under the city to Cai Ying, and signed the name and sealed the jade seal on it.
After this, Cai still sent a large army to follow Yelu Yanxi to inspect the entire Cloud Land, and asked Yelu Yanxi to trick the Liao people into following him in various areas of the Cloud Land.
In this regard, although Cai still used a lot of methods, such as using Liao women to hook Liao men, promising superior living policies, etc., Cai still did not force those Liao men who were determined to go with Yelu Yanxi.
Not to mention, Yelu Yanxi really has some appeal, and there are really fifty or sixty thousand Liao men who are willing to go with him.
Yelu Yanxi asked Cai Yi for a pardon again, pardoning Geng Shouzhong, Yelu Ma Ge and other Liao generals who were loyal to him who were still wandering in the clouds, so that he could take Geng Shouzhong, Ye Lu Ma Ge and others to leave with him.
Cai still wanted to drive all these troublemakers out of the clouds, so with a wave of his hand, Yelu Yanxi was also taken away.
Some people may ask, isn't Cai still afraid of raising tigers?
The answer is, afraid, of course afraid.
But Cai still wants to solve the hidden dangers of Yundi once and for all.
For this reason, Cai still preferred to let go of Yelu Yanxi, an enemy who would definitely turn around and seek revenge on him as long as he had the opportunity.
Of course, this is also because Cai still sees through Yelu Yanxi and doesn't believe that he can pose a big threat to himself.
At the same time, Cai still began to reward meritorious soldiers with the wives and daughters of the Liao people who were loyal to Yelu Yanxi, and used these women to retain Han men who transported grain and supplies to the clouds.
All in all, Cai still used this precious time to quickly strengthen himself, stabilize his rear, and prepare to participate in the battle for Yandi......
