Chapter 665: Southern Expedition, Northern Battle
"Kill......"
In late July, frost had already fallen in the Northland. The autumn is high and cool, the grass is lush and the horses are fat, and it is a good time to fight in a big way. After seizing Shangjing Road, the Jurchen soldiers, who had been quiet for a while, raised their troops again and entered the Zhongjing Road of the Liao State.
Guo Yaoshi, who was already the commander of the Khitan Northeast Road, naturally led his troops to fight on the front line. Within a few months, his men had expanded to include a new force. The Khitan court did not supplement the armor, and the recruitment of troops and horses was in charge of their own family affairs. If it weren't for Yelu Yanguang's attention, it would be difficult for Guo Yaoshi's department to recover to the size of seven or eight thousand troops.
But there are gains and losses. Guo Yaoshi gained Yelu Yanguang's trust, and his troops and horses recovered to a certain strength, and this time the Jin army could only fight hard. The only thing that makes them happy is that these battles were not fought in vain. Emperor Lu of the Central Plains looked at it.
The golden soldiers have been in for a few months, but the soldiers are strong and strong. When he was in Shangjing Road, the Liao army couldn't beat it, and now its strength is three points weaker, how can it fight?
Not to mention that at this time, there was another brutal dumping at its top.
The protagonist is Xiao Fengxian, who is known as the 'Cai Jing' of the Liao State, and the supporting role is Yelu Yujian, a general of the Liao army.
As mentioned above, Xiao Feng was first the elder brother of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine, and Na Yelu Yu Jian was not only a general from the Khitan clan, but also the sister-in-law of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine.
This time, because of the position of the crown prince, Xiao Fengxian falsely accused Yelu Yujian of colluding with the concubine Xiao Yu - his wife was the *** of Concubine Wen to seek to support the Jin King Yelu Ao Lu to ascend to the throne, this is the son of Concubine Wen and the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo. This is a big land mine with a heavenly size, and the power of the explosion makes the entire Khitan shake.
Concubine Wen Xiao Tserser hanged herself, the concubine Xiao Yu was executed, and the king of Jin, Yelu Aolu, who was most eliminated by Xiao Feng first, did not die. This person is the eldest son of Emperor Tianzuo, who is generous, deeply expected, and very popular inside and outside the court. Emperor Tianzuo can't kill people casually, and Emperor Tianzuo is not willing to kill his son easily, and his daughter is not killed. But this is enough, and the entire Nanjing Road shook the south bank because of this, and the Khitan high-level people panicked.
At that time, Yelu Yu was still in the army, and when he heard the news, he was frightened and uneasy, that is, he led more than 1,000 troops and rebelled against the Jurchens.
Maybe Yelu Yujian is more willing to serve the Central Plains, but he is helpless, he is in Zhongjing, thousands of miles away from China, and there are many barriers along the way, how can he go south to the Central Plains? It can be said that looking around, the Jurchen Jin Kingdom is his only choice.
"Isn't Emperor Tianzuo going to make a prince?" Such a contradiction cannot suddenly burst out, and there must be a reason. Lu Qian looked at Du Xing and asked.
"Your Majesty, even though Emperor Zuo was mediocre that day, Yu Jun's power was strictly grasped, and he had no intention of making a prince. If you say that contradiction, maybe it's because of Xiao Fengxian's brother Xiao Sixian. β
"In the battle of Shangjing Road earlier, Xiao Si first made the ...... for the Northeast Road"
Du Xing said this, and Lu Qian interjected, "Is it the current position of Pharmacist Guo?" β
"Exactly." Du Xing was worried about Yang Lin and Shi Xiu. These two people are not good in front of Pharmacist Guo now, but once they cross the bright road, with Pharmacist Guo's current weight, I am afraid that they can only be paid as the head of soldiers and horses in a province. When the time comes, it will be difficult for Yang Lin and Shi Xiu to do.
Grimace thought in his heart, and his mouth was not slow at all: "In the battle of Shangjing, the Liao army was defeated." Xiao Sixian made a big mistake in the war. He was the commander of the army, and the army of Fan and Han exceeded 10,000 people, and he was stationed in Longhua Prefecture, and his position was very critical. can be ambitious and talented, so that the Jin soldiers can easily see the gap, and take advantage of the unpreparedness of the Liao army to attack. Xiao Sixian's troops were defeated and scattered, and the soldiers suffered heavy losses. Xiao Fengxian was afraid that Xiao Si would suffer first, so he hurriedly said, "The defeated army fled with sin, and robbed everywhere they went, and if they were not pardoned, I am afraid that they would gang up as thieves and become a disaster." Emperor Tianzuo obeyed his wishes. Xiao Si went to the palace first to wait for punishment and conviction, but he was only removed from his official position. However, not long ago, his deliberate plan to revolt was hindered by the remnants of Jeru......"
There was no need for Duchenne to go on.
Xiao Fengxian's feud with Yelu Yu can fully explain the current result. That Xiao Sixian must also be the backbone of Xiao Fengxian's faction, and Yelu Yu will watch him rise again when he sees that his brain is stupid. It's just that Xiao Fengxian is a step ahead, sees the right time, and kills with one blow.
In this way, Nayelu Ao Lu Hu is no longer hopeful, his mother is dead, his brother-in-law is dead, his brother-in-law is also gone, and he has lost his internal and external help, in front of Xiao Fengxian, he can only be the fish and meat that can be slaughtered.
But since Emperor Zuo was able to be furious that day, this proves that Xiao Fengxian's false accusation hit his pain point. In other words, does he already feel that his throne is unstable?
A touch of coldness hung on the corner of Lu Qian's mouth. Isn't it? If you lose Liaodong and then lose Shangjing, if Emperor Tianzuo's throne is as firm and unshakable as ten years ago, there will be ghosts.
"Your Majesty, the time has come. Jin Jun's intention is very obvious, that is, to take Linhuang. In this way, the Khitan only had Nanjing Road and Xijing Road left. "The Northwest Road Recruitment Division further west is a rotten place where Emperor Tianzuo didn't bother to escape from it. But Nanjing and Xijing in the Khitan are all old lands in the Central Plains.
Zong Ze's eyes shone brightly. Emperor Lu has long had the intention to go north to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, and now it seems that the time to do it is coming.
The big picture he drew for Zong Ze, the Western Xia was already dying, even if Yang Zhi had already led the troops to Hedong, the remaining Northwest Army soldiers would not be able to take the remnants of the Western Xia.
Now it's up to Liao. If the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun cannot be successfully recovered, this will fundamentally negate Emperor Lu's painting.
Because Xixia is not an object that can be trusted, cowardly as Zhao Song and can press it to the ground and rub it, how can Xixia still be a touchstone? It's just a stepping stone.
Only the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun can be regarded as a true symbol. The broken Khitan is not very much, and defeating the arrogant Jurchen soldiers and completely solving the border troubles in the north is the first step to success!
Because everyone knows that the great enemy of the Central Plains is only the north. Only by completely subduing the young people in the north can the Central Plains truly dominate the East.
In the past, the representatives of the young people in the north were Khitans from nomadic peoples, and now they have become Jurchens from fishing and hunting peoples.
Lu Qi had to completely defeat the Jurchens, so that he could let go and march to the west and south.
Therefore, Zong Ze was not the only one in the main hall whose eyes were shining. The people present, one counts as one, and more than a dozen pairs of eyes are all releasing crackling electric sparks at this moment.
Even Emperor Lu showed a hint of excitement on his face. That is said to be a thousand ways and ten thousand, no matter how good the round cake painting is, it is empty, and there is no real benefit that can be seen and touched.
His subordinates all knew the significance of the 'Northern Expedition', and Emperor Lu knew even better.
knows that this is where real effort lies, but I also hope to end the fighting in Lingnan as soon as possible. So that some of the elite troops can be transferred.
"It's really about being prepared. Then send someone to send a message to Wang Qing and Zhong Xiang, telling them to enter the Quang Nam West Road, and then break into South Vietnam. Tell them that when they enter South Vietnam, I will allow them to do whatever they want. At the end of the words, a fierce murderous aura erupted.
The small South Vietnam is now the size of the present day and is only about the north-central part of the later Annam. A large area to the south of it still belongs to the Champa city! It is also the birthplace of the famous 'Champa rice' in Chinese history.
Therefore, do not equate the current South Vietnam with the future Annan, let alone associate the population of the later generation of Annam with the population of the present South Vietnam.
Annan, the famous white-eyed wolf, had a population of 90 million in later generations, ranking thirteenth in the world.
But now. The entire kingdom, together with the barbarians in the territory, is only 2 million. The Chinese inside may only be in their early 100,000s.
Emperor Lu did not treat the Nanyue people as Chinese, whether it was the historical reasons of later generations or the Yongzhou Bloody Incident in the current era, which made him hostile to them. Therefore, in order to destroy South Vietnam, Lu Qian was willing to release two hunting dogs that had been raised for a long time. And not only Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing, but also Manichaeism.
Fang La didn't enter the game, why did Lu Qian make people secretly win over Yang Mi? How can you justifiably dig Wang Qing's corner?
You must know that Zhong Xiangjun also started with Manichaeism, and he also shouted "equal wealth, equal wealth" as a slogan to win people's hearts, and his army and Fang Lajun have innate interconnections.
Nanyang is very big and very small, and Lu Qian doesn't think that it will be beneficial for him to divide more than one vassal country from 'Manichaeism'.
At the same time, his sense of Zhong Xiang is not very good. When this guy got up early, Xu also worked hard to be strong, but when Lu Qian 'recruited' this person, it was like the leader of the Taiping Army who had entered Nanjing City, and this Zhong Xiang had already fallen.
Therefore, on the political map in Lu Qian's heart, Zhong Xiang has no status. If he could, he would be happy to sacrifice an insignificant Luo Guogong and exchange some of the available people in King Zhong's two armies.
Naturally, this matter still needs to be carefully planned. Now, Emperor Lu just told them to fight a small South Vietnam.
The matter in Guizhou, after a period of spread and fermentation, to be honest, this can be said to have broken Shilin's heart. Because of the involvement of the Security Department and the Espionage Department, the matter has already changed its flavor in word of mouth.
The mastermind behind the coup d'Γ©tat was no longer the violent Geng Nanzhong, but his good student Zhao Huan. And the mastermind who secretly made Chen Guoting and their lives whine is not someone else, it is Zhao Huan.
There is no excuse for the sin that you want to add? Pressing all the black cauldrons on Zhao Huan's head is the heaviest blow to Zhao Song.
Not to mention that Xu Huiyan's influence is also flooding. After he and the seed master Dao broke away from the pursuit of the Qi army, they parted ways. The latter led the remnants of the army to Guizhou, and he led the army directly to Xiangzhou and Liuzhou, and thwarted several subsequent attacks launched by the Qi army. There is a spy department to report the news, what else can be wrong?
But outsiders don't know the inside story, and they all think that Xu Huiyan is brave and loyal.
He immediately took the opportunity to show his merit to the small court in Guizhou, and squandered money and grain, recruited local Ding Yong, and suppressed the local young people, and his strength soon rose back to 5,000 people, or even more.
This is already a force to be reckoned with.
It must be known that there are only five or six thousand soldiers in Guizhou City today, and counting the more than 1,000 people brought back by the Cultivation Master, the total strength will not exceed 8,000. Such a force has to deal with the request for help from Yongzhou.
After waiting several times, but still not seeing any feedback from the small court in Guizhou, the Nanyue Kingdom finally couldn't bear the dryness and stretched out its minions to Yongzhou. They wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Qi army had not decided on the Guangnan West Road to get as many benefits as possible.
