"Governor, the Bohai people have withdrawn."

Outside the city of Anshizhou, Li Wenzhong originally wanted to concentrate all his efforts on attacking Anshizhou, but he got the news.

So Li Wenzhong led the army to easily capture Anshi Prefecture.

"It seems that the Bohai people have relented."

Li Wenzhong knew that when he sent troops to Liaodong, Zhong Chuan took the delegation to the Bohai Kingdom. Now that the Bohai State army has withdrawn from Anshi Prefecture, it means that the Bohai State does not want to start a war with the Tang Dynasty because of Liaodong, so it has chosen to retreat.

After capturing Anshi Prefecture, Li Wenzhong did not continue the offensive, but left 2,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Anshi Prefecture, and his main force retreated to Jian'an Prefecture.

Because since the army was sent to Liaodong, his army has been fighting for a month, and both the soldiers and the horses are a little tired.

Moreover, because the battle line is too long, the newly occupied cities need to be defended by troops, and it is not suitable to continue the attack.

After retreating to Jian'an Prefecture, Li Wenzhong set up his governor's mansion in Jian'an Prefecture.

Don't look at the retreat of the Bohai Kingdom, but Li Wenzhong actually did not recover the former place of the Andong Protectorate.

When the Andong Prefecture was at its strongest, it had jurisdiction over the nine prefectures and 42 prefectures, while Li Wenzhong only recovered the three prefectures of Jili Prefecture, Jian'an Prefecture and Anshi Prefecture.

The other states were in the hands of the Balhae Kingdom, the Khitan, and the Goguryeo forces in Liaodong.

Due to the complicated situation in eastern Liaodong, Li Wenzhong did not dare to venture, and the land of Sanzhou was almost half of southern Liaoning.

In the process of stopping the attack, Li Wenzhong went to the imperial court, established the Lower Governor's Mansion, the Governor's Mansion of Jian'an Prefecture, and selected a general from the forbidden army to serve as the governor.

The history of Jili Prefecture is served by Wang Hua, and the history of Anshi Prefecture is served by Yang Kai, which can be regarded as a sweetness to these city lords in southern Liaoning and win them over for the use of the imperial court.

In the next time, Li Wenzhong integrated the forces of the three states in southern Liaoning, so as to facilitate the control of the three states by the imperial court.

The strength of the entire territory of Jili Prefecture was controlled at 12,000 people, including the strength of the Duli guard and the Qingni guard and captured within 1,500 people, and for the more important geographical location of Wugu City (that is, Weiba Mountain City, Li Wenzhong ordered the Weiba Mountain City to be Wugu City), Baiyun City, etc., the generals of the imperial court served as the defending generals.

Jian'an Prefecture garrisoned a large number of troops, reaching 20,000 troops, the main force was the imperial army brought by Li Wenzhong, and a part of the army that had surrendered to Duli Town, Qingnipu and other Tang cities.

Among them, there are 10,000 troops directly under the Liaonan Governorate, and only 10,000 troops in Jian'an Prefecture itself. These 10,000 are divided into the army directly under the Governor's Office of Jian'an Prefecture and the army of Jian'an Prefecture.

The army of Anshi State was smaller, only 8,000 people.

Of these three states, Jili is actually the strongest.

However, it turned out that there were more than 10,000 troops in the three cities of Duli Town, Qingnipu and Beisha alone, and Li Wenzhong could not weaken it too much.

In addition, many Tang forces surrendered in other cities, which caused Jili Prefecture to be the strongest among the three states.

However, some officials from several important mountain towns and Jili Prefecture were sent from the imperial court, and they were not worried that these local forces would rebel.

While digesting the fruits of victory, Li Wenzhong was also planning how to attack Daxingseong, and then occupy Boyang Fortress to open up the connection with the Pyongyang Governorate.

On the side of the Pyongyang Governor's Office, with the withdrawal of the Bohai State army from Liaodong (excluding the occupied Andong Governor's hometown), Yang Shihou also withdrew his army from Nanjing, the Bohai State.

However, before withdrawing, Yang Shihou emptied the grain, ordnance and property of the Nanjing treasury of the Bohai State.

Although he wants to withdraw his troops, it does not mean that he will not move these.

Da Xuanming was resentful of the banditry of the Tang army, but fortunately, the Tang army retreated.

As for letting the imperial court send troops to fight the Tang army?

Don't think about it.

Now His Majesty, with one mind and the Tang Dynasty, will jointly attack the Khitan, and the Tang army will withdraw from the Bohai Kingdom, as for the matter of emptying property, it has nothing to do with Da Weiying.

After all, Nanhai Mansion has not paid taxes since Da Weiying ascended the throne.

Nominally, Nanhai Province is the location of Nanjing in the Bohai Kingdom, but in reality it is no different from a secession kingdom.

。。。。。。

Khitan, the location of the Khan's tooth tent.

A tall and majestic tent is located not far from the royal court where the Khitan Khan lives, which shows that the identity of the owner of this tent is not ordinary.

Naturally, it is not ordinary, because the owner of this tent is Yu Yue --- Yelu Abaoji of the Khitan, that is, the military leader of the entire Khitan Eight Divisions.

Five years ago, in the first battle of Yingzhou, Yelu Abao lost his troops and lost face.

However, he did not become decadent, but with the help of his uncle, he restored his own guards and pro-army, and with the help of Li Siyuan of the Shatuo Department, he fought in the east and west, and made many military exploits.

He raided the surrounding Murowei, Wugu, Jianya and Bohai Sea, plundered a large number of people and property, and also expanded the Khitan pastures.

Yelu Abaoji also rose step by step, and after the death of his uncle Yelu Shilu, he took over the post of Yu Yue, in charge of the military power of the Khitan, and became the de facto leader of the Khitan.

Under his command, it can be said that there will be a star-studded gathering, including Yelu Huolu, Yelu Tingge, Xiao Dilu, Li Siyuan, Kang Yanxiao and others.

Of course, the reason why Yelu Abaoji was invincible in the east and west was also because of Li Siyuan's Shatuo cavalry.

Now this Shatuo tribe has reached 50,000 accounts, and it has become a Khitan tribe comparable to the Dongxi Shulu clan in addition to its own eight tribes.

Although the Shatuo Department is called Shatuo, it has actually become a part of the Khitan, but it is not one of the eight Khitan departments, and it has a certain independence.

Of course, now the relationship between Li Siyuan and Yelu Abaoji is also different, and the two have become brothers-in-law, because Li Siyuan married Shu Luping's sister.

"I just got the news that the army of the Bohai State has withdrawn from Liaodong, and the Tang people have set up the Liaonan Governor's Mansion in Liaodong, and currently occupy Anshi Prefecture, Jian'an Prefecture and Jili Prefecture, what do you think about this?"

The cold wind was gusting outside the tent, but it was particularly warm inside, Yelu Abaoji cut off a piece of mutton with a sharp dagger, and while feasting, he told some news to the people in front of him.

Here, in addition to Yelu Abaoji's subordinates, there is also his wife Shu Luping.

"The emperor of the Tang people has great ambitions, the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate is located in the southwest of the Khitan, the Abe Metropolitan Protectorate is located in the west of the Khitan, and the Liaonan Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is located in the southeast of the Khitan.

If I guessed correctly, after the Tang Dynasty's Liaonan Governor's Mansion pacified the cities of Goguryeo in eastern Liaodong, it was time for the Northern Expedition to the Khitan. Li Siyuan said with a solemn expression.

"Northern Expedition to Khitan? Now that my Khitan departments add up to more than 400,000 young and strong, and can recruit more than 400,000 soldiers to go on the expedition, can Datang stop it? Yelu Thorn on the side was dissatisfied.

For Yelu Abaoji to use Li Siyuan so much, Yelu Abaoji's brothers are very dissatisfied and often come to each other.

"I'm just analyzing it like this, if you don't believe it, you can take it as if I didn't say it!" Li Siyuan's tone was flat, and he didn't want to fight with Yelu Tingge.

In fact, Li Siyuan is not afraid of the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty, if he can take revenge by the hands of the Khitan, it is naturally a good thing, if he can't borrow it, he will take his people to continue to migrate north.

Now that there are 50,000 tents in the Shatuo tribe, he is still confident that he can create a habitat for his people in the north.
