Chapter 1334: The Enemy is in the Summer Palace II
The summer palace is a summer resort, located on the side of the border of the Great Zhou Republican Army and the Eastern Liao Kingdom, and the Dading Mansion of the Eastern Liao is separated by a Ma Meng Mountain.
Since Wu Haogu helped Xiao Sese to the throne of the heroine of Dongliao, he regarded the summer resort as a place for him to have a tryst with Xiao Sese. Over the years, I have spared no expense in construction and renovation, and finally has a little luxurious and magnificent feeling. Compared to Xiao Sese's dilapidated palace in Dading Mansion, I don't know how many times more comfortable it is.
Therefore, Wu Haogu felt unaccustomed to staying in Dading Mansion for a few days, so he moved to the summer resort with Ci Okuno.
Unlike Xiao Da Aoye's report to Xiao Sese, Wu Haogu did not look down on Yelu Yanxi's daughter.
Bringing the enemy's wives and daughters into the harem is the right of the victors in the Northland steppes! This is the satisfaction of a conqueror of the steppe!
And Ci Oye is the youngest daughter of Yelu Yanxi, although her appearance is not as good as Xiao Sese, but the fresh and tender taste is still very popular with Wu Haogu, who is over forty years old...... It seems that he can regain his lost youth.
In addition, the little girl of Ci Okuno is also quite well-behaved, very good at serving people, and her temperament is supple, and she speaks well, with a voice like a silver bell, which is fresh and tender when you listen to it. Therefore, after Wu Haogu used her, he didn't break Liyan's body again, but just took Ci Ono and asked her to serve closely with Luohan and maids.
Last night, Okuno went to bed again, which made Wu Haogu very happy, and then he fell asleep deeply, until the sun shined on his face through the glass window, and then he stretched his waist and got up.
The little girl Ci Aoye was no longer by his side, Wu Haogu coughed, and saw Luo Han and maid walking in with a few yellow-headed maids who were also a little rough and beautiful, gargling mouthwash, sending fragrant tea that had just been brewed, and giving Generalissimo Wu full clothes and socks and shoes, which was very neat.
These yellow-headed maids are all from the Hosu Pavilion and are the nieces of the same clan as the Luohan maids. After Wu Haogu pacified Liaodong, the Hosu Pavilion became the thugs and servants of the Zhou State. Not only did they provide the Zhou army with "yellow-headed mercenaries", but they also provided maids to Wu Haogu.
Wu Haogu is not an emperor, of course he can't use eunuchs, but he has a lot of women, and the back house is getting bigger and bigger, which is a little inconvenient for the male servant to enter and exit. Therefore, let the Luohan maid select a strong female slave from the Haosu Pavilion to serve in the house, and give a dowry for a few years to marry the warriors in the "yellow-headed mercenary" or "savage mercenary", which can be regarded as a favor.
In addition, these yellow-headed maids can ride horses and shoot arrows, and they can be regarded as the guards in the ancient mansion of Wuhao, and the cost performance is very good.
Wu Haogu drank a few sips of tea, completely sobered, and asked while rinsing his mouth, "What about Okuno?" Did you send a message from Linhuang Mansion? ”
"Empress Dowager Xiao's messenger has just arrived, and Ji Okuno is meeting with him."
"Really?" Wu Haogu smiled, "It's finally here......"
As soon as he said this, footsteps sounded, and then a sweet girl's voice sounded: "Führer, Ji Okuno asks to see." ”
"Come in, come in."
A fresh and tender, rather watery little girl floated in like a gust of wind, holding an envelope in her hand.
"What does the letter say?" Wu Haogu asked.
Hearing Yuan Shou's question, the little girl smiled before she could speak, and her eyebrows were full of affection: "If you go back to the master, the queen mother of the slave family smelled the summoning, and she rushed here without saying a word, and she will be there the day after tomorrow at the latest." ”
"Okay...... Wu Haogu nodded with a smile, and just wanted to take the letter to read it, someone outside the door came to report it.
"Report to the head of state, Deputy Pan should ask to see him, saying that there is something urgent."
Pan Deputy Ji Yi is the deputy head of the Eastern Liao Military Ji Yi Regiment Yi Pan Ye. After Li Xiaozhong assisted Xiao Sese, he stayed in Dading Mansion to sit in the town. Wu Haogu brought him with him when he moved to the summer palace.
"Let him wait in the big study, I'll be there shortly."
Pan Ye was in a hurry to see him, most of it was a matter of military affairs, Wu Haogu didn't dare to slack off, and he didn't have time to have breakfast, so he immediately rushed to the big study where he handled daily military affairs and government affairs.
In the big study, Su Yan and Pan Ye had already arrived first. Seeing Wu Haogu coming, both of them stood up and saluted.
"Führer," Pan Ye looked very anxious, and after a salute, he reported, "Longhua Prefecture urgently, a day ago, a large number of Jin soldiers crossed the Huang River in the northern part of Longhua Prefecture!" ”
"What?" Wu Haogu immediately walked to the side of a map hanging on the wall, and Su Yan had already planted a small flag symbolizing the golden soldiers on the map, which belonged to the location of Longhua Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Wanhu of the Eastern Liao Right Army.
Longhua Prefecture is on the south bank of the Huang River and is also part of the Horqin grassland. At present, it is under the jurisdiction of Wanhu of the Eastern Liao Right Army under the direct control of Xiao Sese, and the territory is full of knight docks of Eastern Liao, but no fortress has been built.
To the north of Longhua Prefecture is the territory under the jurisdiction of the former army Wanhu of Yelu Yujian. It's at the forefront of contact with the Jin country, but this piece is facing the Shangjing Road of the Jin country, and it has always been relatively calm, so it has not been blocked with the fortress line. But there are still many knight docks belonging to the former army, and it is impossible to let a large number of golden soldiers pass through without noticing.
"The former army has not reported?" Wu Haogu was a little strange.
"No, maybe Yelu was negligent?"
"This kind of thing can also be negligent?" Wu Haogu took a breath and frowned, "How did the Jiyi Tuan deal with it?" ”
"The Jiyi Regiment has been transferred to the 3rd Infantry Division and is heading north to meet the enemy in the Holy State." Pan Ye said, "Xiao Delis, who stayed in Dading Mansion, also ordered Ding Yu of the Ten Thousand Households of the Right Army and Ten Thousand Households of the Rear Army to prepare for battle, and also ordered the noble families in the city of Dading Mansion to join the army. ”
"Can you resist it?" Wu Haogu asked with a frown.
Pan Ye said: "It's not a big problem...... may be plundered, but Dading Mansion will not be lost. The combat power of the third division is also quite strong, and it will not be defeated by the Jinren. And Zong Han should not have known the news of the defeat of Ah Gu's army and the fall of Linhuang Mansion, and when he knew about it, he should retreat in a hurry. ”
The Eastern Liao military system, reformed by Empress Dowager Xiao, was modeled after the Zhou state, and the military mobilization system linked to land was also implemented. The difference is that the Zhou State is a republic, and the Eastern Liao State is a kingdom, so there are no "military citizens", only small military nobles who have received the estate.
Under such a system, the military mobilization capacity was extremely elastic - in most cases, a knight household with an estate of two or three thousand acres had more than two strong men.
In other words, after providing a knight and an auxiliary, each knight can still provide additional strong men in case of emergency.
And the wall docks where they live can also be defended by the elderly, women, and teenagers.
So on the surface, Empress Dowager Xiao has already exhausted the soldiers and horses of the 10,000 households of the right army and the 10,000 households of the rear army, but in fact, these two 10,000 households can still provide more than 30,000 cavalry in an emergency, and at the same time, they still have the spare strength to hold on to hundreds of knights! The combat ability possessed is very impressive!
In addition, there are many noble families of Khitan, Xi and Bohai people living in the city of Dadingfu, with a total of more than 1,000 families. These nobles are different from the artists and capitalists in Kaifeng Mansion, they are all military aristocrats who can still fight. Most of the generals that Empress Dowager Xiao relied on came from these noble families. The knights in her royal tent army are also from the nobles of the Dading Mansion.
When necessary, it is not difficult to pull out a few thousand strong men from these noble families who can fight.
Therefore, Dadingfu City, which is empty on the surface, actually has a certain defensive capability.
Therefore, the 3rd Infantry Division can attack boldly with confidence!
"Let the Chengde Mansion also mobilize!" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Give an order to the defense envoy of Chengde Mansion!" ”
"Whoa!" Su Yan responded, "Führer, do you want to transfer troops from the Yanshan Legion and the Liaohe Legion to help?" ”
"No need." Wu Haogu shook his head and said with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, Wanyan Zonghan is gone, even if he plunders under the city of Dadingfu, it's not a big deal."
Moreover, the Liaohe Army and Guo Yaoshi are about to send troops to Huanglong Mansion, and Zong Han's lair is not guaranteed, how long can he be arrogant? ”
He said to Pan Ye again: "Pan Jiyi, after blocking the battle against Yan Zonghan, you and the Jiyi group are fully responsible!" ”
Pan Ye hurriedly gave a military salute: "Don't worry, the lower officials will live up to their trust!" ”
……
"Good! God help me! ”
Yelu Ao Lu Wei took a picture and slapped his hand and laughed loudly: "Wanyan Zonghan's house will definitely be able to lure the Zhou army of Dading Mansion away, so that there will be no army to guard the left side of the Summer Palace!" ”
The king of Eastern Liao, who was supposed to be recuperating in Linhuang Mansion, was in a certain wall dock on the north bank of the Huang River at this time.
He didn't play the Sun and Moon King banner of the King of Eastern Liao, nor did he take a large group of personal soldiers, but just led more than ten horsemen and guards, disguised as an ordinary horse team, and quietly left the palace of Linhuang Mansion. He also left a personal guard who looked a little similar to him in the palace and pretended to be the sick king of Eastern Liao. It's a little bit of a god doesn't know, a ghost doesn't know!
And the person who met him here was also a big man in disguise and sneaking, who was the privy envoy of Eastern Liao, the prime minister of Beifu, and the former army of Wanhu Yelu.
Yelu Yu has also been put on the cold bench in the past few years, and what privy envoys and prime ministers of Beifu are all empty. He is not in Dading Mansion, and it is impossible for him to lead the Privy Council of Eastern Liao and the Northern Prime Minister's Mansion. His real position is a former army of 10,000 households, and there are 8,000 "Yelu" households under his command.
And a character like him, of course, can't sit idly by and watch the "Xiao Dynasty Liao". Even if Empress Dowager Xiao abolished Yelu Ao Lu and replaced him with Yelu Yi, he could endure it, but he directly became the queen and kicked the Yelu family aside, which was unacceptable to Yu Jian.
In this case, it is not surprising that Yu Jian and Ao Lu are walking together!
And Empress Dowager Xiao has actually heard of the two of them approaching, but the external enemy has not been eliminated, and it is not suitable to clean the interior. Moreover, Yu Jian and Ao Lu only have 16,000 "Yelu" households, and Empress Dowager Xiao has 28,000 Xiao family members. There is also the behemoth of Da Zhou behind him, so he didn't put them on the blacklist that was about to be killed......
Moreover, Ao Luhui has already handed over the military power, with only the remaining 8,000 households, what tricks can be turned up?
