Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Imperial Expedition

Shi Xiu wanted to catch Tong Guan, but he didn't even participate in the celebration of winning Jizhou, and directly led his subordinates to chase Tong Guan.

But his idea fell through.

In the Bazhou city camp, the leaders of the resentful army, Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou, saw that the Yan army was now powerful, and the Song soldiers couldn't resist it at all.

They recognized the situation and knew that sooner or later the Yan army would be able to capture the sixteen states of Yanyun, for the sake of their own lives.

They discussed secretly and agreed to work together anyway to take Bazhou as a gift for promotion.

It was the second watch of the night, when Zhang Tianshun, the general of Bazhou, was in the palace and had fun with his wife and concubine.

Suddenly, he saw Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, and Zhao Heshou Xuan leading their subordinates to rush forward with swords and blades, and Zhang Tianshun dodged in a hurry.

Guo Yaoshi jumped up, cut off Zhang Tianshun's head with a knife, and shouted left and right with his head: "The Song army is brutal and unkind, I have determined to return to Yan Guo anyway." Those who are willing to follow me are here, and those who do not follow will go by themselves! ”

Originally, Tong Guan was blackmailed in Bazhou, and the robbery was a big loss of popular support, but now the news of Tong Guan's defeat has also spread to Bazhou, and now Bazhou is dealing with the Song army and quickly.

Guo Yaoshi responded to the call, and nearly 8,000 resentful troops and 3,000 old Liao soldiers killed nearly 5,000 Song soldiers.

Although Guo Yaoshi and others successfully eradicated it, in order to control Bazhou, and also to show that they had returned to obedience.

They replaced the banners of the Song army on the head of the city and replaced them with the Yanzi banner.

Tong Guan fled all the way to Bazhou on March 19 under the escort of Bi Sheng and others. Seeing the banner at the head of Bazhou City, he was so frightened that he hurriedly led his people to continue to retreat south to protect everything.

On March 24, Tong Guan and others led the army to retreat to Danzhou.

Shi Xiu rushed to Bazhou, saw Zhang Tianshun's head, and heard that Guo Yaoshi and others led the army to Shun. Although it was a pity that he failed to catch Tong Guan, he still led Guo Yaoshi and others to see Lin Chong.

The soldiers took the heavy land Bazhou without blood, Lin Chong was very happy, and treated Guo Yaoshi and others with wine.

The capture of Bazhou is already the limit of what an army of 50,000 can control the chassis. Lin Chong ordered Shi Xiu to lead his troops to garrison Bazhou, and he could not advance further without a military order.

With the end of the war in Bazhou, the war between the Yan army and Tong Guan and the Song State has come to an end!

The war is over, and governance begins.

There are countless matters to deal with the aftermath of the war, which are cumbersome and indispensable—such as the disposal of the Khitans, the recruitment and surrender of the former ministers of the Liao State, the incorporation of the surrendered troops, and the pacification of the gentry of the people of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun......

However, fortunately, the forcible seizure of Yelu Dashi and Tong Guan in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun made the people and gentry feel cold!

After seeing the occupation of the Yan army, he did not say anything to the people, and helped the people to work. Carrying water and repairing thatched huts, etc., made the Yan army quickly gain the approval of the people. stabilized Yanyun's rule.

On March 28, in Xingzhong Mansion, Shi Jin received a battle report sent by Lin Chong.

saw Lin Chong conquer Yanjing and sweep the sixteen states of Yanyun.

Shi Jin immediately feared the book case and said, "Okay! ”

After this battle, although Yan and Jin, Liao, and Song were one after another, they had to face threats from three sides at the same time. But for Shi Jin, the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages.

The most direct impact is that although the 50 prefectures in Liaoning and Tokyo have a vast area, there are only more than 400,000 households.

Not to mention the narrowness of the capital in Liaoning, the population is only more than 20 households.

But the sixteen states of Yanyun are different, they are densely populated, with millions of households. Moreover, the handicraft industry and plantation industry are developing well. It can be said to be the economic powerhouse of Liao.

Losing the sixteen states of Yanyun, the economic strength of the Liao State has been cut by at least half!

Zhu Wu said with a smile, "Looking at the look of the saint, it seems that Lin Dianshuai has gained a lot!" ”

Shi Jin reported the battle to Zhu Wu and said, "You can also take a look." Lin Chong has recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, and Tong Guan feels like a mourning dog in Danzhou! ”

Zhu Wu took a quick look at it, and arched his hand and said, "Congratulations to the Holy Lord, the sixteen states of Yanyun will be the only place left in the Liao Kingdom. Great things can be done! ”

"Zhu Aiqing, how are the newly recruited soldiers training now?" Shi Jin asked Zhu Wu in a loud voice.

"Holy Lord, rest assured, after the generals' drills over the past year, the recruits have become proficient in drills and formations, and they can go to the battlefield at any time!" Zhu Wu quickly replied.

"Good!" Shi Jin nodded approvingly, "Now that the new grain has been harvested and the grain and grass are sufficient, it is just right to crusade against the Liao State again, annihilate it in one fell swoop, and attack the old land of the Liao State!"

In the afternoon of the same day, the news of the conquest of the sixteen states of Yanyun came, and Xingzhong Mansion celebrated with the city.

For a time, the city was lit up with lights, firecrackers roared, gongs and drums played in unison, and there was a chorus of joy. At the same time, the news of the recovery of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun was urgently reported to Liaodong and other places by Kuaima.

Xingzhong Mansion was jubilant, but Liaoshangjing was gloomy.

"Holy Lord, this is the third time that Yelu Dashi has asked for help......," Zuo Prime Minister Youxi Xiaojin said with a little anxiety.

"How many soldiers and horses do we still have in Daliao that can be mobilized now?" Lord Liao raised his head and asked in a deep voice.

"Holy Lord, there are no other soldiers and horses to mobilize now!" Yu Xi Xiao Jin said bitterly.

"Holy Lord, in order to solve the immediate predicament, the only way to borrow domestic slaves from the nobles is to help!" Ouyang Shilang stepped forward and shouted.

Just when the Liao lord wanted to say yes, a Liao soldier ran all the way up to the main hall with an urgent military report of eight hundred miles, knelt on one knee, took out the letter from his arms and drank, "Holy Lord." Yanjing Urgent! ”

"Yanjing! What is the battle report? Hurry up! Lord Liao suddenly had a very bad feeling in his heart, and he drank urgently.

Li Ji was closest to the letter soldier, took the letter, walked forward quickly, and presented it to the Liao lord with both hands.

Lord Liao snatched the letter from Li Ji's hand.

After reading the contents of the letter, Lord Liao's face changed drastically, and his body shook involuntarily, and he almost fell down the steps.

Yelu Dashi was defeated and suffered heavy losses!

Yanjing City is broken!

Yelu Dashi is fleeing to the Western Regions, ready to support himself!

After reading this military report, Lord Liao raised his head, and said with difficulty in a slightly hoarse voice, "Everyone, Aiqing, there is no need to rescue Yan Yun." Yanyun has fallen! ”

"What?" Including Youxi Xiaojin, the Chinese martial arts of the hall instantly turned pale, completely stunned by this news, and were on the spot, like clay puppets.

Lord Liao's face was pale, he sat back on the dragon chair, and without saying a word, anyone in the hall could see that his anger had reached its peak.

When Chu Jian, the right prime minister, heard that Yan Yun had also fallen, his face was both helpless and shocked.

Although the right prime minister Chu Jian had a bad premonition, he didn't expect the result to be so bad.

The fall of Yanyun has destroyed the last hope of Da Liao!

Lord Liao suddenly slapped the table, stood up, and showed an unprecedented resolute look on his face, and said resolutely, "I will personally lead the army to fight to the death against Shi Jin's thief!" ”

When the right prime minister Chu Jian was about to go forward, the Liao lord had already opened his mouth and drank, "You Aiqing don't need to persuade you anymore, I have made up my mind!" ”
