"What? Zhao Chenfeng reversed? Why? ”

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, seeing the snow on the ground melting day by day, Zhou An, the minister of the military cabinet who was blocked in Jinzhou Mansion, was planning to set off for Liaodong on this day, and he didn't want to hear such bad news.

The subordinates replied to Zhou An: "It seems that Han Xiao, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, found out that those Goryeo female slaves were all done by Zhao Chenfeng, the commander of the Liaodong Metropolitan Division, together with the Thirteen Guards of Liaodong. ”

"How is that possible?" Zhou An didn't believe it, he could only get a few silver by selling female slaves, and he didn't believe that Zhao Chenfeng would take risks for this bit of silver.

"However, now Zhao Chenfeng has indeed reversed, and is preparing to organize troops to attack Jinzhou Mansion!"

"What about Han Xiao? Did you hear the news of Han Xiao? ”

"I've heard a few!" The subordinate replied, "It is said that when it was clear that the mastermind behind the slave trafficking was Zhao Chenfeng, Commander Han wanted to flee to Jianzhou Wei to take refuge, but he didn't know that Jian Zhou Wei Commander Wan Yanlie had been bribed by the people sent by Zhao Chenfeng. So when the Han commander arrived in Jianzhou, he just let Wan Yanlie kill him as a letter of surrender to Zhao Chenfeng! ”

"In this way, Han Xiao is also dead!" Hearing this news, Zhou An already understood that Zhao Chenfeng had already made up his mind to rebel, and it was impossible to persuade Zhao Chenfeng to surrender with his three-inch tongue.

"The top priority now is to hold the fortress between Montenegro and Panshan in the east of Jinzhou, and not to give Zhao Chenfeng to take Jinzhou. An opportunity to attack Shanhaiguan! "In the end, it was the Minister of the Cabinet, although he was shocked at first, but soon Zhou An came back to his senses and began to think about it carefully.

"There are more than 70,000 people in the thirteen guards of Liaodong, and there are only four guards in Guangning, Yizhou, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou on the Jinzhou Mansion, adding up to more than 20,000 people. Relying on the men and horses of the four guards of Jinzhou alone, I am afraid that we will not be able to delay the military peak in Liaodong for a long time.

On the side of the old capital, the only remaining guards are Shanhai, Funing, Jizhou, Kaiping, Tianjin, Yanqing, Miyun, Huailai and Xuanfu, adding up to a total of nearly 60,000 horses in eleven guards, which is comparable to Liaodong in terms of troops......"

In Zhou An's mind, the distribution and strength of all the guards near Liaodong, Jinzhou, and the old capital were presented one by one, and he soon had a general understanding.

After closing his eyes and thinking for a while, Zhou An suddenly shouted: "Come here, in the name of the old man, quickly ask the four guards of Guangning, Yizhou, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou to command the envoy to come to the old man quickly, there must be no mistake."

In addition, 800 miles was urgently reported to the imperial court about Zhao Chenfeng's rebellion. And with the old man's handwritten letter, he went to Shanhai, Funing, Jizhou, Kaiping, Yanqing, Miyun, Tianjin, Huailai and Xuanfu Sanwei, told a lot of things about Liaodong = Wei, and ordered him to lead his troops to Jinzhou in the fastest time......"

As he spoke, Zhou An took out the Shang Fang sword given by Zhang Lingyang before, and told his subordinates: "This time the matter is very urgent, I don't dare to delay in the slightest, after you enter the customs, if anyone pushes it for various reasons, you will use the Shang Fang sword to kill it, and then order the deputy general to lead the troops to come." If the adjutant refuses, kill him, and order Qianhu to lead the army to come, understand? ”

"Don't worry, my lord, I understand!"

……

In the afternoon of the same day, Zhou An met with the commanders of Guangning, Yizhou, Ningyuan, and Jinzhou in Jinzhou Mansion, and informed Zhao Chenfeng of his rebellion.

For a while, everyone was panicked.

"Everyone, be quiet!" Looking at the panicked appearance of several commanders in front of him, Zhou An was very dissatisfied, scolded him, and said: "Don't be impatient, don't be impatient, Zhao Chenfeng is just a clown jumping off the beam, the old man has already made detailed arrangements, you don't have to worry!" ”

Seeing that everyone finally quieted down, Zhou An continued: "The old man has ordered someone to enter the customs with the sword of Shang Fang to transfer troops, and now it is imperative that you Jinzhou Siwei must guard all the passes between Black Mountain and Panshan, and not give Zhao Chenfeng the slightest chance."

There are nearly 70,000 men and horses in the 13 guards in Liaodong, and there are only 20,000 men and horses in the 4 guards in Jinzhou, and the disparity in strength is huge, these old men know it.

However, several passes between Montenegro and Panshan are located in dangerous passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the old man believes that you can defend them.

Don't do much, the old man only needs you to guard for ten days, and after ten days, the army in the pass will come, and then the old man will play the court and give you the first credit! ”

"When the time comes, the old man will personally sit in the Panshan Post in the rear, and live and die with you!"

As soon as he gave the order, Zhou An ordered someone to pack up and drive to the Panshan Post between Panshan and Montenegro to show his determination.

The commander of the four guards of Jinzhou made you look at me, and I looked at you, and they all sighed in unison, and went down to prepare to pull out the camp and go to the pass between Black Mountain and Panshan.

At the same time, Han Xiao, the commander of Jinyiwei, took several Jinyi captains to travel for several days to Jianzhou, Haixi, Fuyu, Duoyan, Taining, and Tashan Zhuwei on the northeast side of Liaoning, killing several horses along the way, and finally persuaded Zhuwei to raise troops to go south together at the last moment.

Zhao Chenfeng's main energy was on the side of Jinzhou Mansion, and he didn't pay attention to the northern guards at all, which gave Han Xiao a golden opportunity.

Just after the Lantern Festival, early in the morning on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Chenfeng took 70,000 horses from the 12 guards of Liaodong to Jinzhou Mansion.

Crossing the Liao River, Zhao Chenfeng's army of 70,000 soon reached the foot of the mountain.

On Zhou An's side, the four guards of Jinzhou were ready to fight, and they did not dare to relax in the slightest. Zhou An personally stepped on the top of Panshan Mountain to observe the enemy's situation, which gave Jinzhou Siwei a great encouragement.

"Zhou Junge, the hundred artillery pieces of the four guards of Jinzhou are all ready, just wait for your order, we can let Zhao Chenfeng drink a pot!"

"Wait!" Zhou An looked at the Liaodong soldiers who were swarming up the mountain and said, "Wait for the enemy to get closer before firing artillery, this will be more effective!"

Also, notify me to go down, you don't need to give the imperial court cannonballs and grenades, and give the old man a hard beating in a while! ”

In fact, there are not many weapons and ammunition in Jinzhou Siwei, which is only enough for 20,000 horses and horses for half a month.

But that's enough!

Because if there is no accident, it will not take ten days for the first batch of reinforcements from Beiping Mansion to arrive and send a steady stream of logistics materials.

You must know that Beiping Mansion, as the old capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, has complete industrial facilities and a huge arsenal, which can provide a steady stream of weapons and ammunition to Jinzhou Mansion.

Far from being like Liaodong, although Liaodong is rich in mineral resources, and the Great Zhou has also developed Liaodong to a certain extent, but now it is the second year of the first five-year plan of the Great Zhou, and all the industrial facilities in Liaodong are in full swing in the early stage of construction, so now it can't play much role at all.

But who knows, Zhao Chenfeng knows all this very well, so he can't wait to quickly take Jinzhou Mansion, so as to open up the passage from Liaodong to Guannei.

If you can take Jinzhou Mansion with lightning speed, then the Thirteen Guards of Liaodong will directly attack Shanhaiguan, and then take Shanhaiguan at any cost, so as to enter the customs and attack Beiping Mansion.

In this way, the factories and military factories used in Beiping Prefecture will provide a steady stream of weapons, ammunition, and other materials for the Liaodong Army.

In this way, the Liaodong Army has the strength to compete with the imperial army......
