Expelled the anti-thieves of the Yan Ministry, or joined the Yan Department to be the anti-thief together? I'm afraid it's the latter that's more likely!

Yelu Yanxi sat on top of the palace hall of Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, listening to the nonsense of the two old foxes, but thinking about it with bad intentions in his heart.

He didn't care whether the two white-haired old foxes were really loyal or fooling themselves, in short, he couldn't let them go. Without the training of more than 100,000 regiments in their hands, the impregnable city of Lushun would have to be filled with the lives of the Khitan nation.

How precious the Khitan nation is! In addition to the more than 200,000 elites pulled out by Yelu Yanxi, there are only 20,000 elite soldiers left behind in Mobei Kedun City, 50,000 troops left behind in Xijing Road and Taiyuan Mansion, as well as guarding Shangjing and Zhongjing, as well as the soldiers and horses deployed in Tongzhou to monitor Wanyan Aguta, all of which add up to more than 100,000 people.

In other words, once the more than 200,000 people who gathered in Liaoyang Mansion are exhausted, no matter whether they can occupy Lushun Mansion or not, the Great Liao Kingdom will be finished.

How can such a big empire, with so many enemies, not have a mobile corps that can fight in the east and west?

Since the Khitan nation can't fight for it, it can only be fought by the Han and Bohai people!

It's June now, and the preparations for war are pretty much there. There is no sign of going south in Aguta in the north (people are waiting for Yelu Yanxi to go north), it seems that it is time to go south to Lushun Mansion to find trouble with Wu Haogu.

Thinking of this, Yelu Yanxi just smiled coldly: "Wanyan Aguda is bewitched by others, so he will rebel and make trouble." Now the first thing to deal with is the traitor who bewitches Ah Gu to create a rebellion, and then Ah Gu fights. ”

What the?

Don't hit the bones?

Ma Renwang and Dagong Ding were both shocked.

The two old men swept around with the corners of their eyes, and they had already seen the expressions on the faces of a group of Khitan ministers in the palace.

No one was particularly surprised!

This shows that they already knew...... They all know, why don't we both know? Needless to say, it must be that the Son of Heaven doesn't believe the two of them anymore.

One of them is Han and the other is Bohai, so they should be unreliable!

It seems that this matter must be handled carefully, otherwise it will be over!

"Your Majesty, are you going to crusade against Youzhou?" Dagongding's military quality is not as good as that of Ma Renwang, so the questions asked are more naïve.

"Your Majesty must be going to crusade against Lushun, right?" The centaur guessed the answer right away.

It's impossible to hit Youzhou! Hundreds of thousands of troops can rely on the fertile plains on both sides of the Liao River to supply in Tokyo Road, and go to the vicinity of Youzhou, whether it is Xijing Road or Zhongjing Road, they can't afford to raise 400,000 troops.

I can't afford to raise it, and I'm still hairy!

Therefore, the army assembled by Yelu Yanxi in Liaoyang either went north to fight Aguta, or went south to fight Lushun.

And Lushun is a fortified city built by Wu Haogu at no expense! Two lines of defense were built along the Great Black Mountain and the Arthur Isthmus.

The Great Black Mountain Defense Line takes Lushun Fu City, Black Mountain Fort, and Dongguan Fort as the core of defense, and builds a city wall defense system that stretches for more than 30 miles.

The isthmus defense line is based on the Great Wall of Zhendongguan in Liao, built a fifteen-mile-long brick and stone city wall, and also used limestone, sandstone produced near Lushun Province, and iron-smelting slag (iron ore is produced in Tiezhou near Lushun Province, and Lushun has wood, so Huang Zhisheng has half an iron factory in Lushun) made of Lushun marl bonded stone (Lushun produced stone), and built a copper wall like an iron wall.

If you want to break through these two lines of defense, you really don't know how much flesh and blood you have to fill in...... No wonder Yelu Yanxi asked his family and Dagong Ding to hold a group exercise, it turned out that he wanted the Han people and Bohai people in Liaodong to fill in the city defense of Lushun!

It's so vicious!

Yelu Yanxi looked at Ma Renwang and Dagong Ding with a cold gaze, "I am about to set foot in Lushun City!" ”

"The minister is willing to be the king's precursor!" The centaur wanted to take a stand immediately.

He's a thief now, and he has to be positive. And he also thought about it, if Yelu Yanxi really asked him to be a pioneer, he would immediately send someone to his hometown in Wulu Mountain, so that all his relatives would go into the mountain to hide. Then he led the army to Chenzhou to join Ma Zhi, and then withdrew to Lushun together.

The world is about to be in chaos, and there is nothing to do, but the strength in his hands cannot be without. As long as you have the strength, you can eat and drink spicy food anywhere, if you don't have the strength, the Ma family can only live in Youzhou and be a diner.

Yelu Yanxi was noncommittal, just looking at Dagongding.

Compared with Ma Renwang, he was more suspicious of Dagong Ding.

Because no matter how much trouble the Ma family makes, it is a prince. It is impossible to be an emperor, the Ma family does not have this strength, nor does it have such appeal. Moreover, the Ma family is a Han person, and the territory of the Han people in Tokyo Road and Xijing Road is a long strip along the coast, and at most there are some people in Yiwu Lu Mountain. Relying on this basic plate, that is, to survive in the gap between Youzhou and Liao.

But the Bohai clan is different! The Great Clan is a royal family! For the Bohai right surname to look up, ascend a shout, and all people respond. Moreover, the Bohai people occupied the fertile Liao River valley in Liaodong, and there were a large number of them near Liaoyang City. If the Grand Duke Ding captures Liaoyang and gets the support of the right surname of Bohai, he can ascend the throne and become the emperor in a grand manner!

Dagong Ding was a little hairy by Yelu Yanxi's ill-intentioned gaze, but he was an honest man after all, and he was also loyal to Da Liao, and he really had no intention of rebelling on his own. Since he is not a thief, his heart is not as empty as a horseman's hope.

So the first thing he thought of was that Lushun Mansion was not easy to fight.

"Your Majesty, the fortified city of Lushun is difficult to attack, and there is a sea route to mobilize reinforcements...... I'm afraid it's hard to attack for a while! ”

Yelu Yanxi smiled: "The secretary is reasonable, can you have a good plan to stop the aid of the sea route?" ”

"Your Majesty," or Ma Renwang showed a positive expression, "it is impossible to cut off the aid of the Lushun sea route!" But as far as the minister knows, Youzhou's troops are also limited. If the limited strength of Youzhou is not able to exert itself, it is equivalent to blocking Lushun's reinforcements. ”

"Oh?" Yelu Yanxi finally showed an interested expression.

Ma Ren said: "As far as the minister knows, the basis of the military system in Youzhou is the citizen system. Wu Haogu has always advocated that 'the world is for the public', but the 'public' he advocates is not the general public, but a limited number of citizens. Only those who have served in the military or paid taxes for a certain amount, or who are outstanding in learning, can become citizens of Youzhou. What he did was to make the citizens the pillars of the state, and at the same time turn the country into a country of citizens. ”

"Isn't this the same as our heart of the Khitan nation?" Xiao Wuna on the side interjected.

"What Xiao Xianggong said is extremely good." Ma Renwang complimented, and then said, "However, there is also a fatal weakness in Youzhou's citizen system, that is, the number of citizens is too small, only 80,000. ”

"These 80,000 citizens are the foundation of Youzhou." Ma Renwang then flickered, "The basic backbone of the Youzhou Army is also from these 80,000 citizens. ”

"Then speaking of martial arts, isn't there less of a good Gu henchman than my Khitan?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

"Your Majesty." "Of the 80,000 citizens, at least 30,000 are merchants and businessmen who are not suitable to serve as soldiers. Therefore, the citizen soldiers in Youzhou are only 50,000 at most. Although Wu Haogu can still spend money to hire soldiers, Youzhou's financial and manpower resources are limited after all. If the court of the Song State exerts a certain amount of pressure on Youzhou, it will contain some Youzhou soldiers. At the same time, Cangzhou, Qingzhou, Hejian and other places close to Youzhou paid high prices to hire strong men. can make Youzhou unable to send reinforcements to Lushun. Relying only on the troops stationed in Lushun, our Daliao can pile up the city with human lives! ”

"Good!" Yelu Yanxi slapped his face, "Ma Qing is really a pillar of the imperial court!" ”

He looked around at the courtiers in the palace, "Zhuqing, who can go to Kaifeng Mansion?" ”

Yelu Yan came out of class and asked: "The minister is willing to go to Kaifeng." ”

"Okay, then there will be the Privy Council of Lawnan!" Yelu Yanxi turned his gaze to Dagong Ding again, "Daqing, I have ordered you and Gao Yongchang to be the chief and deputy commanders, with 80,000 Bohai athletes as the vanguard, out of Chenzhou, Ningzhou, and Fuzhou, along the east coast of Liaohai (Bohai) all the way to the south, until under the Lushun Chengguan. ”

"Commandment." Even though the Grand Duke Ding was reluctant in a thousand ways, he didn't dare to say a word now, so he had to honestly lead the troops first.

"Ma Qing," Yelu Yanxi looked at the horse people again, "Your Fengxian army will go with me, and after the first day of the seventh month, you will send troops to Chenzhou and camp in Chenzhou first." ”

Now it's happening! The centaur wanted to cry out in his heart, but he still had to be respectful and respectful in his mouth.

Yelu Yanxi continued: "Then send an edict to Ma Zhi, telling him to strengthen the coastal defense, and never let the Youzhou army land and harass from the sea." In particular, the mouth of the Liaohe River must be closely protected, and there must be no slackness!"

The Liao River in this era was not as narrow as in later generations, the river was wide, the water flow was abundant, and the navigation ability was extremely strong. Wu Haogu's fleet can drive in! I really don't know how to protect Ma Zhi's artillery battleships in Wuhaogu?

Maybe you can send an envoy to tell Wu Haogu not to sail the fleet into the Liao River......

However, Ma Zhi's envoy did not immediately rush to Youzhou to report the news. Because it was also after a while, he learned from the Bohai Navy passing through Chenzhou that the Great Liao Emperor would go south to attack Lushun Mansion, and he would also be stationed in Chenzhou!

This time, the Liao army has indeed done a good job of secrecy! Ma Renwang, Dagong Ding, Gao Yongchang and several Han and Bohai warlords with heavy troops were closely monitored before leaving Liaoyang Mansion with their troops. So the news was kept secret until the beginning of July, and by the time Ma Zhi's envoy arrived in Tianjin, nearly half of July had passed in the second year of Zhenghe.

And at the same time that Wu Haogu learned that Lushun Mansion was about to be attacked by "one million Liao soldiers", Yelu Yanxi's envoy Yelu Yan also arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, the first good city of the Great Song Dynasty!

Go to the army to plot, and then fight again!

Yelu Yanxi, who has been a good general for a long time, is really good this time, at least a good start.
