For the Liao State, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is a very important strategic place, as long as the Liao State can firmly occupy this place.

That was a huge help to the development of the Liao State, because the sixteen states of Yanyun were basically lived by Song people.

Therefore, this area is an advanced agricultural area, and its agriculture, handicrafts and other cultural activities are more developed than the Khitan main area.

Therefore, the Khitan rulers attached enough importance to the importance of this region, and if they occupied it, if the Liao State wanted to go further in the future.

If the Song Dynasty is attacked and enters the Central Plains, then the sixteen states of Yanyun will be the bridgehead of their Liao State to attack the Song Dynasty.

For Wu Ming, this Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures must be taken back, in the past, it was the weak national strength of the Song State.

The Song State did not have the ability to fight the Liao army, but now it is different. Since he has crossed over, how can he let the sixteen states of Yanyun still be controlled by the Liao State.

Wu Ming believed that with the special location of the sixteen states of Yanyun, if he hadn't used a strategy, the two countries of Jin and Liao would have been in constant dispute.

If the war continues, with the temperament of the Liao State, when the national strength of the Liao State reaches a certain level, the Liao State will definitely send troops to attack the Song Dynasty from the springboard of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

In Wu Ming's view, the gains and losses of the sixteen states of Yanyun are related to the safety of a generation of rivers and mountains. The seven prefectures of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan and Shun of these sixteen states are in the southeast of the north branch of Taihang Mountain.

It is called "Yamae", and the rest of Kyushu is in the northwest of the mountain and is called "Yamagai". Today, the Great Wall divides from the east to the southwest of Juyongguan.

It stretches on the Taihang Ridge, and joins the Great Wall to the west of Shuozhou, which is the Inner Great Wall. The Central Plains lost the "mountain back", and there is still the Yanmen Pass of the Great Wall to guard.

If the "mountain front" is lost, the Hebei fence will be completely withdrawn, and the Khitan cavalry can go straight to Heshuo along the Tandang Plain south of Youji.

If the Khitan cavalry of the Liao State is allowed to rush into the plain area, then the people in this Heshuo area will have eight lifetimes of blood mold.

Even if he is invincible, so what, it is impossible for him to keep an eye on this area at any time, and the cavalry of the Liao State will attack the Song State once.

It will cause a huge damage to the people of the Central Plains, judging from the records of previous years, every time the cavalry of the Liao State enters the Central Plains to fight the grass valley.

They all killed a group of Song people who had the courage to resist them, and then captured the Song people who did not dare to resist to be slaves in Liao.

For such a thing, Wu Ming will not let him happen again, Wu Mingxin said: Our own people in the Song Kingdom are not enough.

Now that I have crossed over, how can I let your Liao State continue to plunder the people in our Song Kingdom and use them as slaves for you.

The national strength of our Song State is no longer as weak as before, and the combat strength of our Song soldiers has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before.

In the past, I didn't come to attack your Liao Kingdom, because my Wu Ming hadn't come before and had time to free up. And now you are ready to be slaves to our Great Song Dynasty?

No, I, Wu Ming, am a kind person, a person with a very positive outlook, and people like me don't want any slaves.

Slaves are the only things that only the exploiting class does, and you Khitans will be the labor of our Great Song Dynasty in the future. The difference between slaves and laborers is still very large.

Now that Wu Ming's army has recovered Danzhou, in Wu Ming's plan, it is not just a state and county that can satisfy Wu Ming.

Wu Ming planned to destroy the Liao State, and the soldiers sent by the Liao State to aid Danzhou were all dishes given to him by the Liao State in Wu Ming's eyes.

How many fierce generals can there be in Liao, Wu Ming knows it. This time, the generals led by Wu Ming on the expedition to the Liao State did not have a first-class military value.

According to the plot in the original book of Water Margin, Wu Ming knew that the generals of the Liao army who came to aid Danzhou this time were nothing more than that:

Dongxian Shilang, Biter Weikang, and Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao brothers. These generals may be considered brave warriors in the Liao State.

But if they really faced those fierce generals under Wu Ming, they really wouldn't be enough to see. Don't say anything else.

Even if the Liangshan Five Tiger Riders sent out one casually, they could also abuse the four of them. Although Wu Ming knows that according to the plot trend of the principle of Water Margin.

The generals of the Liao army who came to aid Danzhou this time were none other than these people, but for the sake of insurance, Wu Ming still asked the intelligence officers of the Rat Clan to go and inquire about the news.

Anyway, the Liao army will not be in a hurry to attack the city, as long as the news is clear on his side, Wu Ming can send out the generals to clean up those Liao soldiers and Liao generals.

It didn't take long for the Rat Clan intelligence officers to pass on the news they had discovered, and it was as Wu Ming expected.

The generals who came to the rescue of Danzhou were the four guys that Wu Ming guessed, Wu Ming pursed his lips disdainfully, and said:

"There are not a few fierce generals who are a little weighty, they are all some unpopular guys, and I don't even bother to watch their excitement.

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, and Zhang Qing, the three of you will lead 20,000 horses and horses to arrest those four guys for me.

It's not that I underestimate them, I sent too many people, it really seems that I bullied them, it's enough for the three of you to catch the four of them.

As for the Liao soldiers, don't worry, as the saying goes: capture the thief and capture the king first. You just have to arrest all these generals.

Those soldiers will not have the heart to fight, in the open area, if those Liao soldiers scatter in a hurry.

They are really not easy to catch, and the task I have given you this time is to mainly capture those four generals first.

As for those Liao soldiers, they can catch as many as they can. ”

The reason why Wu Ming sent these three people to meet the four Liao generals also had a certain basis, although it was not impossible to win if he casually sent some generals to meet them.

But maybe it's Wu Ming's mental reason, the entire Water Margin world was stirred up by Wu Ming, in Wu Ming's subconscious.

Since you have encountered a familiar plot, as long as it does not affect the final result. Then Wu Ming is still willing to let this plot develop in the original direction.

Wu Ming felt that he had to give Mr. Shi Nai'an a little face, after all, it was his own crossing that changed the Water Margin world written by Mr. Shi Nai'an.

Then when you encounter a familiar plot, it is better to try to complete the event according to the development of the original plot without affecting the overall situation.

In the original book of Water Margin, the development of events in this time period was that Guan Sheng and Lin Chong fought the cave immortal squire and the bite er Weikang were defeated and fled.

As for the featherless arrow, Zhang Qing was a flying locust that injured Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao brothers.

The only difference is that in the original book, the two brothers of the Yelu family were hung up, and now, Wu Ming has already confessed to the three of them.

To live. This saved the life of Brother Jerod.
