Chapter 39: The Northern Crisis V

After Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army to capture Yizhou bloodlessly, he ransacked Yizhou, and rushed to Yingzhou with his 8,000 Changsheng army the next morning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The situation in the whole Liaodong was turbulent, the ministers rebelled, the Jin soldiers attacked the city, the officials and troops were in turmoil, and the people were displaced.

Yelu Dashi sent 3,000 elite cavalry to patrol the left side of Nanjing Road, but whenever he found the Jin army, he sent out the Nanjing defenders to exterminate it. The situation in Nanjing, with Yelu Dashi in charge, can be said to be a lot more stable.

However, the rule of the Great Liao has now fallen apart, and the Marshal of the Imperial Uncle of the Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi Yelu Chun lost Shangjing, and was extremely unoptimistic about the Battle of Zhongjing of the Tianzuo Emperor, so he led his subordinates and gathered the resentful army to withdraw west to Yingzhou, trying to reorganize the defense line in Yingzhou to defend the remaining territory of the Great Liao.

In Ye Luchun's opinion, it is said that your Tianzuo Emperor even dared to go to Kyoto, where his ancestors ruled the Great Liao, and what determination could he have to defend Zhongjing. This time I worked hard for you, so wouldn't I, Yeluchun, want to become the second Xiao Answer?

Of course, although the situation in Daliao has fallen apart now, the so-called hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. Da Liao is also a huge empire that stretches from the Bohai Sea in the east, reaches the Tianshan Mountains in the west, reaches Yanyun in the south, and controls Mobei in the north for nearly 200 years.

Although the Jin soldiers were strong, they entered a bottleneck stage in the battle against Zhongjing after capturing Shangjing. Emperor Tianzuo listened to the advice of the minister Xiao Gan for the defense of Zhongjing. Drawing lessons from the defeats in the battles of Tokyo and Shangjing, he resolved not to fight the Jin soldiers in a decisive battle in Chukyo. Instead, it relied on the natural barrier formed by the Liao River in the east of Zhongjing and the mountains in the north to block the Jin army.

As a result, the Dajin East Route Army tried to force the Liao River under the leadership of Taizu Aguta, but encountered the stubborn resistance of the elite Liao army led by Xiao Gan and could not cross the Liao River for many days.

When the Western Route Army led by Wanyan Pujianu captured Shangjing and was about to send troops to Tokyo, it found that Da Liao seemed to have a strong army and horses in Yingzhou, and it was still gathering troops and horses everywhere, and the men and horses sent to test the Nanjing Road of Da Liao also suffered heavy losses, and Da Liao seemed to have a strong military presence in Nanjing Dao. If Nanjing Dao and Yingzhou Liao Army joined forces to defend Zhongjing, wouldn't they have to suffer from the enemy on their backs? It was because they did not dare to rashly attack Zhongjing, but quietly watched every move of the Liao army.

Seeing that it was unable to cross the Liao River, and the Western Route Army was unable to respond. Wanyan Aguta could only maintain strong military pressure on the Liao army along the Liao River, and then led part of his men and horses back to Liaoyang.

Liaoyang, in the big tent of Wanyan Agu.

There was a chair on one of the platforms in the big tent, and a man in a yellow robe, about sixty years old, sat on the chair, looking at the people in the audience with bright eyes.

This person is none other than Emperor Dajin Taizu, Wanyan Aguta.

"Weichen Zhao Liangsi participated in His Majesty's !!" In the tent, a man dressed in a Han official uniform saluted Ah Guda and said.

Aguda nodded at him and asked, "

Now I heard that the Great Song Dynasty of the Southern Dynasty wanted to conspire with me in Liao's affairs? ā€

"Your Majesty, my family has heard that Dajin will destroy Daliao and replace it. But as the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff, the territory of Da Liao is vast, with millions of soldiers, and Da Jin wants to destroy Da Liao, which is by no means something that can be achieved overnight. Dajin took advantage of Liao's unpreparedness to take the east of Daliao, and it took six years. And now that Da Liao has been prepared, it may not be easy for Da Jin to seize the west of Da Liao again! Zhao Liangsi replied.

As soon as Zhao Liangsi said this, there was an uproar in the Ah Gu account. The generals of the Jin Army, who had always been invincible, scoffed at Zhao Liangsi's words.

"Humph! Bold southerners, only know what it is, but don't know why! My Dajin is like a broken bamboo at the moment, and the Liao people are now the golden soldiers, and the Liao is like taking things from the bag, what are you doing in the Southern Dynasty? A Jin Army general with a beard and sideburns tied in braids scolded Zhao Liangsi extremely unpleasantly.

Wanyan Agu was silent and did not refute Zhao Liangsi's words, but after all, he was a visitor from the south, and Dajin and Da Song had not yet made enemies, so this general's approach was obviously very inappropriate, so he stopped it immediately: "Sticky Han, and I heard that the envoy will finish speaking." ā€

Hearing Ah Guta's order, the general of the Jin army named Mu Han had no choice but to retreat to the side indignantly, wanting to see what this Song Dynasty was doing.

After Mu Han retreated, Zhao Liangsi cleared his throat and continued: "If what Weichen said is right, the five capitals of the Liao State and Dajin will only occupy two capitals now. Although Shangjing is in the hands of Dajin, the Great Liao Emperor is still in command of Zhongjing, the Great Liao Imperial Court still exists, and the soldiers and horses of the other two capitals are also traveling day and night, rushing to Zhongjing non-stop. I'm afraid that the battle between Dajin and Daliao is not as easy as before. ā€

What Zhao Liangsi said is also the truth, at present, the soldiers and horses of the Dajin East Road Army on the west bank of the Liao River were met with stubborn resistance from the Liao army led by Xiao Gan and could not advance. The Western Route Army was afraid of the Nanjing Dao Liao Army and the command of the commander Ye Luchun, who might be killed from behind at any time.

Zhao Liangsi's words were pressing step by step, which also made Ah Guda very unhappy. Although he was born between the white mountains and black waters of the Bohai Sea, he still knew something about the affairs of the south, and said: "I'm afraid that your Great Song Dynasty is not much better, the Western Front and the Western Xia are frequently at war, and there are thieves and robbers in the south." Can you still send troops to fight against Da Liao with me? ā€

Ah Guda shook out the truth of the Song Dynasty, but Zhao Liangsi did not have an anxious look on his face, on the contrary, he smiled and said: "Western Xia is not to worry, and the southern thieves are not to be troubled." ā€

Ah Guda groaned for a while, after all, he didn't know much about the situation in the Song Dynasty, he only knew that there was such a thing in the Song Dynasty, but he didn't know the specific situation, who was strong and who was weak.

"Humph! Don't think I don't know, in the early years of your Great Song Dynasty, you signed the Yuanyuan Alliance with the Great Liao, calling it a country of brothers and non-aggression against each other. What good will it do you to be treacherous to Da Liao and fight Da Liao with my Dajin!? At this time, Mu Han suddenly stood up and said.

"The Great Liao is in a daze, the people's hearts are lost, the people are fishy, and my Great Song Dynasty sent troops this time to do the right thing for heaven. In addition, the sixteen states of Youyun have belonged to our Han family since ancient times, and the Liao people did not return them. Our army's Northern Expedition this time is also for the wish of the first emperor, so that the people of Yanyun can get rid of the Great Liao Sea of Bitterness. Zhao Liangsi said righteously.

At this point, there was an uproar in the whole tent. Some scolded the Great Song Dynasty for being insatiable, and some said that they didn't need the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to help. I saw Ah Gu beating his face and twitching violently for a while. If the Great Liao Five Capitals and the Great Song Dynasty want to go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun, it is equivalent to going to the two capitals. Dajin wanted to completely occupy the Great Liao, but the Great Song Dynasty asked for the two capitals of the Great Liao. Who can stand this.

But the current war in Zhongjing is not something that the Jin people want to drag on.

Ah Guda groaned for a while, and said, "You should retreat first, the matter is big, Rong Zhen will discuss with the ministers and then give an answer." ā€

With that, Aguta got up and left from the side tent. Zhao Liangsi bowed for a while and then returned to his tent.

The sixteen prefectures of Youyun are the whole territory of present-day Beijing and Tianjin, as well as the northern regions of Shanxi and Hebei. Including You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun, Yun, Confucian, Confucian, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, Shuo, a total of 16 states. You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, Shun seven states are located in the southeast of the north branch of Taihang Mountain, and the rest of the Yun, Confucian, Concubine, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, Shuo Kyushu are in the northwest of Taihang Mountain, and the terrain is condescending, easy to defend and difficult to attack. In 936 AD, Shi Jingjiao, the founding emperor of the Later Jin Dynasty of China, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty and asked the Khitan for help. The Khitan sent troops to support it in establishing the Jin Kingdom, and Liao Taizong and Shi Jingjiao were about father and son. In the third year of Tianfu (938), Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan according to the requirements of the Khitan, so that the territory of the Liao State expanded along the Great Wall, and several dynasties in the Central Plains were not able to completely recover it in the future. The strategic significance of the 16 states of Yanyun made the Northern Song regime in the Central Plains feel threatened for nearly 200 years.

Among the sixteen states, Yunzhou Datong Mansion and Youzhou Xijin Mansion are Xijing and Nanjing of Daliao respectively, so how can the Jin people be fast?
