Chapter 200: Defeat Brother Liu, do business
After the three sides ceased their troops, Yelu Liuge withdrew to Quang Ninh Province to recuperate, Puxian Wannu returned to the north, and the Mongols withdrew westward.
Wanyan Pingtao followed the Puxian Wannu who were kept in the dark, and went straight to Huining Mansion, on the way he caught up with the demoralized Puxian Wannu army, annihilated it in one fell swoop, and under the pursuit of the ferocious tribal all-round cavalry, the Puxian Wannu army was annihilated, and even he himself could not escape.
After exterminating Puxian Wannu, Wanyan Pingtao soon occupied Shangjing City and Huining Mansion, as well as nearby Huanglong Mansion, Huli Gai Road, Puhe Road, Zhaozhou and other places; Moving the tribes under his control in the Tokyo (Liaoyang) area to the north actually gave up the plain area.
Jeruliugo, on the other hand, unceremoniously took possession of these places.
After this battle, Wanyan Pingtao successfully got rid of Chen Xian and Yelu Liuge and the Mongols' north-south attack, and obtained a stable place to rest and recuperate.
And the complacent Yeluliuge has become a barrier used by Wanyan Pingtao to block Chen Xian, if Chen Xian wants to develop northward, to the Liaohe Plain, then the first thing he will encounter is Yeluliuge.
As the spokesperson of Mongolia in the Liaodong region, beating Yelu Liu Ge is equivalent to fighting the Mongols, and the first thing the Mongols have to deal with will be Chen Xian, and he can retreat to Shangjing Huining Mansion in the land of Longxing in the Jin Kingdom to recuperate, continue to train the Jurchen tribe and strengthen the tribal cavalry.
Yan Pingtao's abacus crackled, but Chen Xian did not act according to his script.
When the tripartite war between Yan Pingtao, Yelu Liuge, Puxian Wannu and the Mongols ended, and Yelu Liuge occupied the Tokyo (Liaoyang) area left by Yan Pingtao's evacuation, half a year had passed since Chen Xian landed in Suzhou, and after half a year of operation, Suzhou City had been turned into a strong fortress by Chen Xian.
In addition to Suzhou City, Chen Xian built ports and castles to protect ports in natural ports such as Dalian Port, Jinzhou Port, and Lushun Port in later generations, and gradually began to expand inland based on these castles.
Chen Xian chose some water-rich rivers to build hydraulic cement factories, and set up a number of brick factories in Suzhou City, Dalian Fort, and Lushun Fort, and the coal used to burn cement and bricks was transported from the ports of Laizhou and Dengzhou.
Chen Xian sent people to explore the Liaodong Peninsula in the hope of finding coal mines, but the coal mines were not found, and the iron mines were found in a few places.
Relying on these cement and brick factories, Chen Xian's castle quickly spread to the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula......
Chen Xian also secretly built some simple port trestle bridges along the western coast of the Liaodong Peninsula as a combination of land and water and supply points for future military operations.
While busy with construction, Chen Xian's eyes were firmly fixed on the war in Liaodong.
When the dust settled on the war in Liaodong, and Yeluliuge became the final winner, occupying Liaoyang Prefecture and the surrounding area in Tokyo, Chen Xian immediately launched a war that had been prepared for a long time.
At this time, the number of sail warships under Chen Xian's command had exceeded thirty for a long time, and the number of centipede warships had also reached twenty.
Of the more than 30 sail warships, except for the first six warships launched, which were small warships with an unladen displacement of only 100 tons, and the second batch of 10 warships, which were launched with an unladen displacement of only 150 tons, and the subsequent ones were all medium-sized warships with an unladen displacement of 300 tons (5,000 materials).
Among the 20 centipede ships, the second batch of launches were also medium-sized pulp sailing ships with an unladen displacement of up to 200 tons.
In addition to these large ships, in order to meet the needs of inland river landing operations, Chen Xian also produced a batch of flat-bottomed pulp sailing ships with an unladen displacement of only 50 tons for inland river landing operations.
After receiving the news that the Mongols had evacuated Liaodong, Chen Xian first transported thousands of soldiers in sail warships, landed at a simple port in the south of Gaizhou, and captured the city of Gaizhou by night.
At this time, Gaizhou was in a power vacuum, Wanyan Pingtao's people had withdrawn, and Yeluliuge's people had not yet had time to station, Chen Xian's army attacked Gaizhou at night, and almost encountered little resistance.
After taking Gaizhou, Chen Xian immediately advanced by water and transported troops from Suzhou to Gaizhou.
At this time, although Gaizhou had not yet been occupied by Yeluliuge, there were many Liao people in the city who were pro-Yeluliuge, so Yeluliuge soon received the news that Gaizhou City was occupied.
It has been half a year since Chen Xian landed on the Liaodong Peninsula, and Yeluliuge is not stupid enough not to know who Chen Xian is.
When the Liaodong Peninsula falls into the hands of others, Gaizhou has become the last barrier of Liaoyang, once Gaizhou falls into the hands of the enemy, then from Gaizhou to Liaoyang, it is a flat river, and there is no obstacle.
Therefore, Yelu Liuge naturally could not tolerate Chen Xian's occupation of Gaizhou.
After receiving the news, Yeluliuge quickly gathered tens of thousands of troops and rushed to the outside of Gaizhou.
When Yeluliugo's army approached Gaizhou City, Chen Xian immediately ordered the sailing ships that had been waiting in Liaodong Bay to go straight to the mouth of the Liao River.
Dozens of large and small pulp sailing ships poured into the mouth of the Liao River, carrying two infantry brigades, a cavalry assault brigade, and an artillery battalion, landing on the east bank of a river bay dozens of kilometers deep into the mouth of the Liao River.
The frightened Yelu Liuge hurriedly turned around and launched a ferocious attack on Chen Xian's army, trying to clear the way home.
The battle lasted a whole day, and Yeluliugo ordered the light cavalry to gallop in an attempt to shake Chen Xian's introduce, only to suffer heavy losses from the arquebuses in the phalanx.
As a last resort, Yeluliuge ordered the precious iron cavalry to charge into battle, and as a result, the five thousand iron cavalry that he had managed to accumulate was directly defeated by the volley of cannons and muskets that Chen Xian had been hiding deep in the formation.
Taking advantage of the defeat of the elite and the shaking of Yeluliuge's army, Chen Xian first ordered the artillery to bombard Yeluliuge's main formation, and then rushed to attack Yeluliugo's town that was bombarded by artillery, defeating it in one fell swoop.
Next, for Chen Xian, it was pursued and harvested, and the thirty or forty thousand elite soldiers that Yeluliuge had saved over the years were scattered all over the mountains, and Chen Xian was driven by a light cavalry brigade from Gaizhou City to the sky and no way to the ground, and many people abandoned their horses and got into the woods before they escaped.
Yeluliuge himself was escorted by personal guards and went into the mountains and forests east of the battlefield before escaping.
Yeluliuge, who fled back to Liaoyang, finally sent people to collect the rout, only to get more than 10,000 frightened defeated soldiers.
Just when Yelu Liuge was considering whether to abandon Liaoyang and flee to Liaoxi, one of his captured generals brought Chen Xian's handwritten letter.
Chen Xian told Yeluliuge in the letter that he didn't seem to be against the Eastern Liao Kingdom, and that he actually wanted to do business when he came to Liaodong......
In order to show his sincerity, Chen Xian even released all the captured Eastern Liao soldiers back first.
The Liaohe Plain can be said to be the best quality of the first land in eastern Liaodong, where the land is fertile, not only high-quality pasture, but also fertile land with a little cultivation, and many Bohai people who live by farming.
Yeluliuge finally obtained this territory, and of course he was reluctant to give it up.
Although he could summon his Mongolian father, Yeluliuge understood that after the loss of his own elite. Calling on the Mongols to help could result in a complete loss of autonomy or even a complete abandonment of uselessness.
Therefore, when Chen Xian made a trade request and released the captives to show his sincerity, for Yeluliuge, this was a life-saving straw, regardless of whether he was useful or not, it was necessary to seize it first.
Therefore, Yaleliuge immediately agreed to Chen Xian's trade request.
For Chen Xian, Yelu Liuge is a better trading partner than Wanyan Pingtao, because this Khitan has a wide range of paths, the Liao people and Mongolian tribes in western Liaoning and eastern Mongolia have dealings with him, and horses are not a rare commodity for him at all.
