Driving the Expedition!

As soon as this word came out of Li Yan's mouth, it was immediately opposed by almost everyone.

In the eyes of many people, Dazhong is already unprecedentedly powerful, and there is really no need to fight the bitter cold places of the Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain - what is the use of such a poor place?

And some far-sighted people, of course, also realized that the only border trouble in Dazhong is Dajin and the Mongolian tribes in the northeast, taking advantage of the unprecedented strength of Dazhong now, these hidden dangers should be completely eliminated, but these things can be sent to do it, such as Liu Qi, such as Yue Fei, such as Wu Jue, Li Yan really does not need to go to the imperial expedition in person!

There are also some people who don't dare to say anything, but secretly slander Li Yan for his great achievements, and even compare Li Yan with Emperor Yang of Sui.

But no matter how others oppose it or what they think, Li Yan's will has been promulgated, and all the official recitals have been withheld.

The good thing is that -

Li Cun has been training in Xining City and Jura County for six or seven years over the years, and has served as the governor of Yanjing for more than a year and less than two years, and he has initially had the ability to succeed Li Yan.

In this case, if Li Yan really had a case, Dazhong would not collapse.

Therefore, after the opposition was ineffective, the imperial machine of Dazhong could only follow Li Yan's orders to turn around.

A few months later, a million elite troops, five generalissimos, and six generals were all concentrated near Liaoning City.

And Li Yan also took the train to the palace of Liaoning City under the protection of the pro-guard army.

Although Li Yan did not appoint the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses in this battle, saying that he wanted to drive the expedition in person, in fact, Li Yan still appointed the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, that is, Xu Guanzhong, and appointed the deputy marshal of the soldiers and horses, that is, Liu Qi, in addition, Li Yan also appointed the former army marshal Yang Yizhong, the left army marshal Yue Fei, the right army marshal Wu Jue, and the rear army marshal Han Shizhong.

To put it bluntly, although Li Yan said that he wanted to drive the battle in person, in fact, Xu Guanzhong and Liu Qi served as the commanders-in-chief, and the specific ones responsible for the war were Yang Yizhong, Yue Fei, Wu Jue, Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Xian, Wang Yan, Wu Lan, Guo Hao, Wang De, Li Yanxian and others, and Li Yan was actually a nominal person, and it can even be said that Li Yan was watching at a closer distance how Dazhong's army stepped on the grassland to destroy Dajin and the Mongolian tribes.

Dazhong is so prosperous, who can believe that Dazhong is just here to crusade against Dajin?

In addition, Dazhong successively destroyed the Northern Liao, Western Xia, Western Regions, and Tubo, and all the tribes everywhere they went were broken up into a group of small tribes of less than 100 people, and forcibly relocated them, so that they no longer threatened Dazhong.

In this case, the pig can think that the Dazhong who is mobilizing the army must be preparing to destroy all the Mengwu kingdoms composed of the two major tribes of Dajin, Tatar, Taichiwu, Mierqi, Naiman, Kereh, Wangubu, and Elejin in one fell swoop.

Therefore, no matter how much hatred and incompatibility there is between Dajin and the Mongol tribes, they must unite this time, and even the Tatar tribe, which has always been very close to Dazhong, also chose to unite with Dajin and the Mongolian tribes this time - Dazhong is acting too domineering, and those steppe tribes who surrender to Dazhong will also be demolished, so even if the Tatar tribe continues to walk with Dazhong, it will never end well, it is better to unite with Dajin and the Mongolian tribes, Let's see if we can be reborn under this encirclement and suppression.

Daikin and the Mongol tribes must have a nucleus to unite, you know, the snake does not work without a head.

Therefore, after many quarrels, everyone pinched their noses and elected Dajin as the core, and Jin General Wanyan Wushu commanded the battle.

After several tentative attacks, the Great War began.

Soon, the central part of the Dazhong Front Army Yangyi fought a decisive battle with the Tatarta, Taichi Wubu and Wudala of the Jin Army on the Horqin steppe.

In this battle, it cannot be said that the coalition forces are not brave and desperate, after all, this has reached the time of their life and death, but the weapons and equipment and tactics of the two sides are too different, as a result, despite the best efforts of the coalition forces, they were still easily defeated, and Yao Xing in the middle of Yangyi led tens of thousands of cavalry to chase and kill the coalition army for a day and a night.

In this battle, the Chinese army killed more than a dozen coalition sergeants and warriors.

This battle also made the coalition people all see the gap between them and the Chinese army.

If given a choice, Daikin and the Mongol tribes did not want to continue fighting, because this would undoubtedly be an egg to a stone.

But the Chinese army's Northern Expedition this time is to destroy them, if they don't fight, they can only be slaughtered by Dazhong.

Therefore, the coalition forces can only bite the bullet and continue to fight the Chinese army.

But—

After experiencing the defeat of the Horqin grassland, the coalition forces decided that they could not face the Chinese army head-on, and that the only way to a head-on duel was to perish.

Therefore, Wanyan Wushu changed his tactics and focused on guerrilla warfare, focusing on the supply lines of Dazhong, and playing hide and seek with the Chinese army in the vast prairie.

On the other hand, after this battle in the Horqin steppe, the Chinese army also figured out the strength of the coalition army, and Yue Fei, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong and others suggested that they could attack separately and completely release the biggest advantage of the Chinese army, that is, the number of soldiers.

Later, when it was discovered that the coalition forces were fighting guerrilla warfare with the Chinese army, Yue Fei, Wu Jue, Han Shizhong and others offered another plan, on the one hand, they sent the army to continue to advance, and on the other hand, they sent elite cavalry to use the tactics of "roundabout flank attack" to harass and attack the rear of the Mongolian tribes, so that the Mongolian tribes could not meet the battle with all their might.

Soon, Yao Xing led tens of thousands of elite cavalry under the leadership of the locals to raid a base camp of the Tatar Ministry, Kuolian Haizi (later Hulun Lake), and quickly occupied there, and then Yao Xing sent a deputy general to attack Yuer Haizi (later Bear Lake), severely damaged the Tatar Ministry, the key is to capture a large number of important personnel of the Tatar Ministry, including the Khan of the Tatar Ministry, and cut off the connection between the Tatar Ministry and the coalition army.

Then, Yao Xing quickly flew south and attacked the pastures of the Tatar tribe, capturing thousands of enemy soldiers alive and capturing millions of livestock.

Not long after Yao Xing sent back the men and animals of the Tatar tribe, the Great Khan of the Tatar tribe, who had already recognized the situation, gave an order to the warriors of the Tatar tribe to come and surrender.

A few days later, one after another, Tatar warriors broke away from the coalition and came to join the Great Central.

The people of the Tatar tribe made this choice, in fact, there is no way to do it, their foundation has been destroyed by Dazhong, and if they don't vote for Dazhong, they can only be slowly annexed by other tribes.

And Dazhong has already shown its strong strength, which the allied forces of Dajin and the Mongols cannot resist at all, so the possibility of Dazhong winning the final victory in this battle is much greater than that of the allied army.

Therefore, it is better to take this opportunity to vote for Dazhong, so that there can be fewer battles and casualties.

Moreover, they also had a good excuse, and that was that the Great Khan made them surrender.

The Chinese army did not coerce the warriors of the Tatar division to turn their guns and continue to fight, but directly used thunder to break up the Tatar division, and then moved them to various areas of Dazhong.

The Tatar Ministry, which should have been very successful in history, has withdrawn from the stage of history.

And this is only the beginning of the withdrawal of the Jurchens and Mongols from the stage of history......
