…

It's a big deal!

It turned out that the coalition forces were not only Song, Jin, and Western Xia, but also Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan.

At the same time as the Song army, the Jin army, and the Western Xia army sent troops, Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan also sent troops.

That's a bit inaccurate.

To be precise, it should be that unlike the Song, Jin, and Western Xia states, which only mobilized and sent troops slowly, Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan directly attacked.

At dawn three days earlier, the Taifeng army suddenly launched a large-scale attack in the direction of Seoul.

Due to the lack of preparation of the first compartment of Liangshan at that time, most of the army had not yet entered a state of combat readiness, so that there was no power to parry at all.

In only two days, it was beaten to Seoul by the Taifeng army.

It's fair to say here, because there have been no large-scale battles for several years, so much so that the first box has already slackened a little.

Of course, the reason why the first van was defeated so quickly was mainly because the Taifeng army was unintentional.

In addition, Goryeo also sent 30,000 elite Western troops to participate in the attack.

In total, Taephon and Goryeo sent a total of 100,000 troops to launch this wave of attacks.

In this case, how can the first box be undefeated?

The good thing is that -

Lu Zhishen personally led the First Army to the palace, so that most of the officers and soldiers of the First Army could be safely evacuated to Seoul.

In the end, the first box temporarily stabilized the front with the help of the fortified Seoul.

But—

The combined forces of Taifeng and Goryeo are also coming to the city!

Moreover, Goryeo then sent another 50,000 troops, a total of 150,000 troops to besiege Seoul day and night!

Seoul is in danger!

Seeing this, Bing Cao hurriedly transferred the second and third carriages to rescue Seoul.

But Bing Cao's order has just been issued, and the letters for help from the second and third compartments have also arrived.

It turns out -

The third chamber was also attacked by the combined forces of Taephon and Goryeo.

Jeju Island was besieged by Japanese naval forces, and in addition, there were 10,000 Japanese samurai who quietly landed in Jinban County through Falklands, and burned and looted in Chenji, Jinju, Jinju, Geumju, Yangju, Busan and other prefectures.

All in all, Li Yan's base camp was under all-out attack from Goryeo, Taephon, and Japan.

As a last resort, Seoul sent a distress letter to Li Yan.

Knowing that the situation over there was so critical, many people panicked!

For no other reason, their families are all in Seoul, and Seoul is now under a frantic siege of 150,000 troops, and once Seoul is broken by the combined forces of Goryeo and Fengtae, that will ...... The consequences are unimaginable!

In fact, not only other people, Li Yan was also a little panicked!

You must know that Liu Huiniang, Li Shishi, Cheng Wan'er, Hua Baoyan, Yuzaoqian, Li Jiaren, Li Ja Hyun, Yoon Yun'er, Li Huiqiao, Wang Yizhen, Wang Xiuzhi, Wang Enhui, Wang Zhenna, Fang Jinzhi, Zhao Yuannu, Hua Xiangrong, etc. Li Yan's dozens of wives and concubines and Li Yan's dozens of children are all in Seoul.

Over the years, Li Yan has harmed many royal daughters of Goryeo and many royal daughters of Liao.

This world is fair, if you Li Yan are allowed to do this, others will be allowed to do this.

Therefore, once Seoul was breached by the combined forces of Goryeo and Taephon, that ...... The consequences are unimaginable!

Moreover, Li Yan also heard that Gong Fu has now become extremely lascivious......

Li Yan didn't dare to think about it anymore!

After calming down, Li Yan asked, "What do you think?" ”

Although the newly surrendered Zuo Qigong is over 70 years old, his utilitarianism has not diminished at all, and since he surrendered, everything has been very positive.

It just so happened that Li Yan also lacked such an example, and Zuo Qigong was originally the prime minister of Northern Liao, so Li Yan showed great importance of using Zuo Qigong, not only entrusting Zuo Qigong with the important post of governor of political affairs, but also often adopting Zuo Qigong's suggestions when formulating the basic policy of Yandi, so that Zuo Qigong was full of energy.

Therefore, listening to Li Yan's question, Zuo Qigong took the lead and said: "The Song Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, the Western Xia, Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan are in trouble at the same time, it can't be a coincidence. ”

Li Yan nodded and said, "Zuo Aiqing is right, these six countries must be an alliance, otherwise it is impossible to attack at the same time, huh...... So what should we do? ”

Not only Zuo Qigong, but also talented ministers such as Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, and Liu Yanzong were also reused by Li Yan.

Moreover, Li Yan was bold in employing people and dared to give them real power, which won their respect and loyalty.

Therefore, not only Zuo Qigong, but also other subordinates are also very active in expressing themselves.

Liu Yanzong hurriedly said: "The two armies of the Western Xia are not afraid, there are the Great Wall and natural dangers in the Yunzuo area, as well as perfect defense facilities, the Western Xia will not be able to enter the pass without paying a huge price, the situation in Songting Pass is similar, the only thing to worry about in the north is Yuguan Road, Zhang Jue has always been ambiguous about the surrender of the Metropolitan Governor, Weichen also heard that Zhang Jue has been secretly recruiting troops and horses, and currently has thirty or forty thousand horses under his command, which can be described as a strong soldier and a strong horse, if he falls to the Jin army, and then leads the Jin army into the pass, That will be a huge threat to our Shuibo Liangshan, Weichen is foolish, he should give Zhang Jue an ultimatum, if he still doesn't surrender, he will directly send troops to take Pingzhou. ”

Yu Zhongwen then said: "Although the combat effectiveness of the Song army is low, there is no barrier between us and the Song State to defend, so the Song army should be our biggest enemy in this battle." ”

The ass decides the head.

Zuo Qigong and the people of Yandi only cared about how to defend Yanyun, and did not think about how to solve the troubles of the three counties of Lelang, Zhenban, and Jeju.

This is also from the side aspect, Zuo Qigong and others are only second-rate strategists, not top-level strategists.

They don't understand, what Li Yan is really worried about is not the Yanyun region, don't look at the Song State, Jin State, and Western Xia sent out a large army at the same time, if they didn't come to the bottom of the kettle to let Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan attack the three counties of Lelang, Zhenfan, and Jeju, Li Yan, who has natural hazards, the Great Wall, and perfect defense facilities, and has more than 200,000 good fighting troops, is definitely not afraid of the combined forces of the Song State, the Jin State, and the Western Xia.

Now, what Li Yan is most worried about is Seoul, which is his hometown.

And to rescue Seoul, it is necessary to divide a part of the army, so that it will be impossible to defend against the flanking attacks of the Song State, the Jin State, and the Western Xia State.

Li Yanchong nodded at Liu Yanzong and the others, and then looked at Zhao Ding, Xu Guanzhong and the others.

Seeing this, Zhao Ding said: "The top priority now is to appoint a marshal to command this defense battle in the three counties of Lelang, Zhenban, and Jeju. ”

Zhao Ding's suggestion is very critical - if there is no unified command, the first, second, and third carriages and the local villagers will fight separately, then the battle will undoubtedly be lost.

Xu Guanzhong then said: "We must send reinforcements back to help Seoul, most of the families of the soldiers are in Seoul, if you don't send reinforcements to ask for help in Seoul, the army's morale will be unstable, and the Liangshan army will become vulnerable." ”

These two suggestions put forward by Zhao Ding and Xu Guanzhong must be implemented, and it should be sooner rather than later.

Therefore, Li Yan just thought about it and said: "Pass my order: Zhu Wu is the marshal, Qiao Daoqing and Lu Zhishen are the deputy marshals, and they will command this battle." Pass my order: The fleet will arrive at Jizhou Port within three days. Pass my order: Han Shizhong, Fang Qifo, and Fang Xuedu will lead the people of the headquarters to Jizhou Port within three days. Pass my order: Qiu Yi is a transshipment envoy, immediately raise grain and grass materials, and transport them to Jizhou Port......"
