Chapter 531: Liaodong
On the night of this day, in the south of the Liao Imperial Palace in Zhongjing City, it was brightly lit!
This is the temporary location of the staff headquarters that followed Zhao Chen, and they are urgently studying the latest information from the north.
Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others also came here to listen to the analysis of the intelligence in the north by the General Staff Headquarters.
"Your Majesty, Yelu Dashi has fled, this will have a certain impact on our recovery of Liaodong, but the impact will not be too big!" An officer from the Operations Department stood in front of Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, and others and reported.
"Won't the impact be too big? Why? Zhao Chen said.
"The two biggest forces in Liaodong now, one is the rebellious Khitan rebel army, and the other is the 'female' real army, Yelu Dashi can undoubtedly influence the Khitan rebel army, but the Khitan rebel army will never submit to the 'female' truth, they will still be against the 'female' truth! There is only one reason why the Khitan rebels rebelled, and that is that there is no food! If Yelu Dashi can't solve the food problem, the Khitans won't follow Yelu Dashi! According to the information we obtained in Liaodong, the food in the hands of the 'Jur' Zhenren is already insufficient, and it is impossible to feed the more than one million rebel troops and the Khitan people everywhere! The officer said.
The situation in Liaodong now is like the peasant uprisings in various places in the late Ming Dynasty in later generations! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was full of flames, and the Ming Dynasty government continued to encircle and suppress the peasant uprising, but the peasant uprising team was getting stronger and stronger, the main reason was that because the imperial court had no food in its hands, it was impossible for the imperial court to provide disaster relief! Coupled with the daily exploitation of the local government, the rich and noble families were unwilling to take out their own food, and finally the world was in chaos, and even if the Ming Dynasty government had great ability, it was impossible to quell the peasant uprising!
Now Liaodong is also like this, no matter how much prestige Yelu Dashi has, no matter how strong the 'Jur' Zhen army is, the Khitans everywhere still have to rebel, unless Yelu Dashi and the 'Jur' Zhenren can solve the problem of eating the Khitans, the rebellion will end, but this is obviously impossible!
"According to the research of our staff headquarters, it is very likely that Yelu Dashi will invite Yelu Yanxi after arriving in Liaodong, this Yelu Yanxi is the emperor of Liao, and he still has a high prestige among the Khitans, which is a threat to the Liaodong rebels." The officer continued.
"Yelu Yanxi!" Zhao Chen was stunned, he almost forgot about this person.
"Yelu Yanxi is the king of the fallen country, although he has prestige, but the people only fear him, not respect him! Your Majesty, all the leaders of the rebel army in the Khitan rebel army, including Yelu Hong, Wang Gui, Xiao Jiu, etc., are our people, and it is impossible for Yelu Yanxi to take the leadership of the rebel army from their hands! Yu Yunwen said.
"What is the best way to deal with it from the staff headquarters!" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, we can order Yelu Hong, Wang Gui, Xiao Jiu and others to spread the news among the Khitan rebels and tell the Khitan rebels that Yelu Yanxi died at the hands of the 'female' real people five years ago! Now Yelu Dashi has chosen a person who looks almost exactly like Yelu Yanxi to pretend to be the emperor of Liao, wanting to take over the righteous army and let the righteous army be the lackey slave of the 'female' real people! We spread the news, and after the arrival of Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi, the rebels everywhere will naturally not believe them! The officer said.
"Good!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but nodded.
In his heart, he was praising the extremely high efficiency of the General Staff Headquarters! After receiving information from the north, more than 1,000 people from the Operations Department came to so many conclusions after only one afternoon of analysis. If it is a thousand-year-old or a century-old peerless general, it is possible to think of so many and many ways to deal with it, but these peerless generals are more of a flash of inspiration, and it is impossible to systematically analyze intelligence in colleges and universities like the General Staff Headquarters, and then come up with effective response strategies in the shortest time, and not just once or twice, each time can come up with the most effective analysis and report in the shortest time.
"What is the specific situation in Liaodong now?" Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, now there are Khitan rebels everywhere in Liaodong, and they have fought several fierce battles with the 'Jur' Zhenren, and they have lost more than they won! Although there were Wang Gui, Xiao Jiu and others there to command the righteous army to fight, but the righteous army was not a regular army after all, they were just peasants with weapons, so they were not Wanyan Zonghan's opponents! The number of Liaodong rebels is only afraid that it has exceeded 1.2 million, and the recent news is that they are fighting fiercely with the 'Ju' Zhen in the area of Huanglong Mansion, and the 'Nu' Zhen seems to have retreated to the vicinity of Huanglong Mansion. The officer said.
"Send someone to spread the news of the battle in the north to Xingzhong Mansion, and ask Wu Jue about the battle plan for conquering Liaodong!" Zhao Chen said.
As soon as his words came out, someone next to him immediately went to convey his order, while Zhao Chen and the others were still here listening to the report of the staff headquarters.
"Your Majesty, when are we going to start a war against Liaodong?" Yu Yunwen said.
"There are only 100,000 'female' Zhen in Liaodong, and the number of soldiers and horses is not very large, we will definitely be able to defeat them and recover Liaodong! It's just that after recovering Liaodong, we need to resettle millions of hungry people in Liaodong! If we don't have food to eat, they will turn against us! And now, we have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to transport materials to various parts of Shangjing and Zhongjing, and we still have to wait a little longer! Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty is right!" Qu Duan nodded and said, "The staff headquarters has already studied it, and it will take at least another month or two to do it!" But we can't wait too long! If it is too long, more and more hungry people will die of starvation in the Liaodong area, and if they have not been able to take Huanglongfu, Huiningfu and other places, they are very likely to go west to Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places, and we cannot allow such a thing to happen. Qu Duan said.
This night, they discussed for a long time, and they no longer discussed the specific strategic and tactical issues of attacking Liaodong, but mainly discussed how to resettle the people of Liaodong after the defeat there, which was the most important problem to be solved.
******
Xingzhong Mansion, an important city located between the northern grasslands and Liaodong, is now stationed here with heavy troops.
Originally, Wu Jue and others were stationed here, mainly to guard against Wanyan Zonghan from Liaodong to Zhongjing to rescue Jin Wushu, but the situation in Liaodong became more and more 'chaotic', and Wanyan Zonghan was unable to go to Zhongjing from beginning to end.
This time it was Kang An who came here to convey the news of the battle in the north, and at this time Kang An and Wu Jue were sitting in the government of Xingzhong Mansion.
There was a light snow outside, but it was extremely warm in the palace.
"General Wu, where is the Khitan rebel army now?" Kang An Road.
"I just got the news half a day ago that they failed in attacking Huanglong Mansion and have retreated to the area of Changchun! In addition, the 'female' real people in the southeast of Liaodong have all retreated, and they have completely retreated around the two cities of Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion! Wu Jue said.
He was stationed in Xingzhong Prefecture, and the information from Liaodong was transmitted here first, and then he passed it on to Zhongjing, so he got the news much earlier.
Chang'chun Prefecture is not the Chang'chun City of later generations, but a military state of the Liao State, which is probably located more than 100 miles north of Songyuan City in later generations.
"If you want to attack Huanglong Mansion, I'm afraid it's very difficult?" Kang An Road.
"This is nature, the city there is very tall, almost not below the five capitals! Wanyan Zonghan is also a generation of famous generals, he is guarding there, and it is even more difficult to attack! It is impossible to defeat Huanglong Mansion by relying on the righteous army, we must take action! Wu Jue said.
Huanglongfu was extremely important in the Liaojin era, and it was the military town and political and economic center of the Liao State at the earliest! In ancient China, the "dragon" represented an extraordinary status, as evidenced by the name of the "Yellow Dragon"! In later generations, the ruins of 23 ancient cities were found in the surrounding area of Huanglong Mansion for more than 500 miles, and Huanglong Mansion was surrounded by these ancient cities in the center! In history, Yue Feiyan "smashed the Yellow Dragon", which can also be seen in its status! At the beginning, when Wanyan Agu rebelled, at the beginning, he claimed that he had been oppressed by the Liao government and had to rebel, but he was still willing to submit to the Liao court, but when the Huanglong Mansion was defeated, Wanyan Agu officially declared independence, which was also because of the important position of the Huanglong Mansion.
"We attacked the Huanglong Mansion hard, but we are afraid that the damage will not be small!" Kang An Road.
"We need to lure the Jin Bing out of the Huanglong Mansion, I've been thinking about how to 'lure' the Jin Bing these days, and today I finally have an idea." Wu Jue said.
"Oh? What's the idea? Kang An said.
"I still need to report to the General Staff Headquarters ......," Wu Jue began to say slowly.
Kang An nodded while listening, he was originally just Zhao Chen's 'attendant' guard commander, but in the past two years, he has presided over the intelligence department, and under the influence of the staff headquarters, he also has a certain amount of research on strategy, but now he mainly writes these down, and then sends someone back to the staff headquarters.
