Chapter 1167: The Rise of the Republic XIII

Liaodong, Lushun City.

The banner of the sun and moon god of the Great Liao Emperor is flying high in this city.

The soldiers of the Liao army brigade were either marching or camping in various parts of the city. The "fortress advance" for more than a month made the officers and men of the Bohai Navy who took the lead look quite embarrassed. The military uniforms were broken and dirty, and the people looked dirty and thin, all of them were dusty and gray-faced, and they looked almost like beggars. Although they entered the city of Lushun, the morale of these Bohai people did not seem to be very high, and everyone was depressed.

This is because they have had a hard time for more than a month, with the artillery and crossbow arrows of the republican army in front, the military law and knives and guns of the Khitan people in the back, and the right officer with the right surname who is holding a whip to beat people at any time. Moreover, digging trenches and repairing fortresses require high-intensity labor, and it is more difficult to do it in a day than to fight more than a dozen battles. At night, I had to guard against the night attack of the Republican Army, and I couldn't sleep at all.

What's even worse is that the food served is so poor!

Because the tradition of the Liao army was to fight grass valleys, logistics supply was neglected for a long time. Although the dispatch of troops this time has improved, efforts have been made to mobilize a large amount of grain from the Liao River valley, which is enough to maintain the long-term combat consumption of hundreds of thousands of troops. But that's just in general, and in terms of specific logistics management, problems still emerge one after another. Among them, the most problematic and the tightest supply is, of course, the Bohai Navy, which was pushed out by the Khitans to take the lead.

The Bohai people were originally the third-class and fourth-class people of the Great Liao Kingdom, and they were still highly hierarchical inside. The big clan and the right surname of Bohai have never regarded the ordinary Bohai people as their own, so naturally they will not quarrel with the Khitan master for their rations. There is even a phenomenon of deducting and reselling - oh, they are all sold to Ma Zhi!

Because Ma Jiajun also has the problem of tight food supply. At the same time, Ma Zhi has money, and his family is also the "initiating shareholder" of Tianjin, and Ma Renwang and Ma Zhi's uncle and nephew are ambitious, so of course they have to feed their own soldiers. Unlike most of the bigwigs with the right surname of Bohai (except Gao Yongchang and Gao Yongfu), they never thought about separating and becoming independent, so they don't regard the army as their capital.

And the most painful thing for the Bohai soldiers is the empty city of Lushun.

The capital city of the Han people!

Not to mention the mountains of gold and silver, there should always be a lot of copper coins and silks, right? There should always be some belongings in the people's homes that can be strong, and beautiful women who can be obscene, right?

But who knew that after "hitting" into Lushun City, he found that there was no hair inside! The real empty city was empty, there were not even many houses, and they were all over-burned, and most of the houses had no roofs - all thatched roofs, and they were burned down by fire.

Therefore, the officers and men of the Bohai Navy who took the lead and rushed into Lushun Mansion did not catch anything. Not only did he not catch a single hair, but he also took on the charge of beating the grass valley in vain, and the military officers with the right surnames of each family had to go to great lengths to explain to the Khitan master why he didn't grab something to pay respect?

But after explanation, those Khitans didn't believe it very much. The city of the Song people has not been broken. As a last resort, the leading officers with the right surname of Bohai had no choice but to hand over the reward they had received from Yelu Yanxi......

In short, up and down is a belly of resentment.

Now that it's time for dinner, the big iron pot is churning, and the pot is full of corn and beans, and there is no meat to be seen.

Such a bleak meal was actually used to reward the Bohai soldiers who had just won a "big victory". However, the Bohai soldiers around the iron pot have long been angry, who made them Bohai slaves? Accept your fate!

At this time, they just hope to be able to eat and sleep, and have a good rest for a few days and nights.

But where can Yelu Yanxi allow his Bohai cannon fodder to rest? It's late autumn now, and if it drags on any longer, it should snow. At that time, not to mention attacking the Great Black Mountain City and Lushun Guancheng, even digging trenches in the field to hold on to it would be arduous to reach home.

……

In the compound of the government office of Lushun Mansion, Yelu Yanxi's imperial tent has been erected. The mansion was also burned, and the roof was open with teeth bared, and it should be drenched when it snowed and rained later. Fortunately, Yelu Yanxi used to live in tents, and now he is in the imperial tent in the courtyard, and he is having dinner with his close ministers and discussing military affairs.

The feast of the Son of Heaven of Da Liao is naturally rich, but there are no dishes in the court of the Song Dynasty, which is basically rolling in the meat, and the beef and mutton are coming up in buckets, and they are eaten, roasted, and scorched. Of course, the wine is the fairy in Tianjin, how can the men on the grassland not drink spirits? Even if there is a war with Youzhou now, the wine that should be drunk cannot be saved.

The military situation is not good news. It was the news of the great expansion of the army in Youzhou sent by Yeluchun who stayed in Xijing.

The news is terrible! It is said that all the people of Youzhou enthusiastically joined the army, and the number of people was too large, so they had to raise the requirements for recruitment, and at the same time cancel all the salaries of non-government knights and government soldiers...... But it still can't stop the enthusiasm of Youzhou people to join the army!

If this news hadn't been written by Yelu Chun himself, Yelu Yanxi would have discarded it as a rumor.

How is it possible to be a soldier without money? What do you want if you don't need money to be a soldier? Could it be that the people of Youzhou also want to learn from the Khitan and go to the grass valley?

"Your Majesty, this matter is not surprising." Ma Renwang just smiled, "Everyone wants to get from the dragon's skill, how can it be compared to just money?" ”

"From the dragon's work?" Yelu Yanxi raised his eyebrows, "Wu Haogu is going south to Tusong?" ”

"Doesn't that understand?" Ma Renwang smiled, "Wu Haogu has been operating step by step for more than ten years, isn't it just to be able to wear a yellow robe one day?" And the elite soldiers of the Han land have always come from Youzhou, Bingzhou and Yongzhou. Now Youzhou has been owned by Wuhao Gu, and then as long as you enter Hedong, you will have a state. can be the soldier of the world, two of the three. At that time, Wu Haogu was not the emperor of the emperor, and his deployment would also force him to wear a yellow robe. ”

The horse man is not deceiving Yelu Yanxi, he really thinks that Wu Haogu is about to seize the world of the Great Song Dynasty! Otherwise, what would you do by recruiting so many troops? Can you defeat Yelu Yanxi with hundreds of thousands of troops? Just one Lushun Guancheng, the hundreds of thousands of troops brought by Yelu Yanxi could not be defeated if they died.

Moreover, there are about 20,000 daughters in the north who go south sooner or later, and there is a Hebul on the grassland who is sharpening his knife.

"It makes sense." Yelu Yanxi was persuaded by Ma Renwang again, but he was still a little uneasy, "Will Wu Haogu increase his troops in Liaodong on a large scale?" Lushun Harbor is still in the hands of the Youzhou Army. ”

"Your Majesty," said the centaur look, "how can a newly recruited soldier go into battle so easily?" Without months of training, how can they go into battle? By the time Wu Haogu's recruits were trained, Lushun had already been broken by His Majesty.

However, after seizing Lushun, whether our Da Liao is fighting or making peace with Youzhou still needs to be considered in the long run. ”

"Oh?"

"What Wu Haogu planned is the country of the Great Song Dynasty!" The horse man looked and said, "Your Majesty plans to unite the Song Dynasty to destroy the Wu, or to join the Song Dynasty to destroy the Song?" ”

And such a good thing?

"Wu Hao Guken will return Youzhou to me?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

Ma Renwang shook his head: "I'm afraid that Wu Haogu can't be Shi Jingjiao, Youzhou is his foundation after all...... If His Majesty insists on returning Youzhou, then there will only be Lian Song.

As long as His Majesty is willing to return several states in the northeast of Hebei after recovering Youzhou, the old minister is willing to go to Kaifeng Mansion for His Majesty. will definitely be able to use a three-inch tongue to say that the Lord of Song and His Majesty will join forces to attack Youzhou in the north and south. ”

The centaurs are going to slip away!

Although he is now the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, he is detained by Yelu Yanxi's side and cannot do anything. In case Ma Zhi defected, he would have to be knifed...... Of course, you have to find a chance to run, as long as you can run back to your hometown in Xianzhou, you can still do it to welcome the martial arts and go out of the customs!

Moreover, the Ma family is still hoarding hundreds of thousands of stones of grain in Yiwulu Mountain, which can be donated to Wuhao Gudang's military rations......

Yelu Yanxi thought about it for a while, and also felt that Ma Renwang's proposal was feasible. Now only when the Liao and Song Dynasty join forces can it be possible to destroy the scourge of Wu Haogu.

However, the horse herder was a little uneasy at first when he left alone, so he said: "This is Kaifeng, the road is far away, Ma Qing is old, don't let Xiao Delis be a deputy envoy, and lead 1,000 cavalry to escort you on the road."

In addition, you can promise Zhao Ji that as long as he is willing to join forces with me, he will send troops to attack Yan. Then I can return Taiyuan Mansion to him first. ”

After arranging the visit of Ma Renwang and Xiao Deris, Yelu Yanxi's mind returned to the battlefield of Lushun.

"Daqing, Gao Qing, Ma Zhi."

Dagong Ding, Gao Yongchang, and Ma Zhi all got up from their seats when they heard this, and Yelu Yanxi beckoned to them and motioned for them to sit down.

Yelu Yanxi was already murderous: "Now that the sky is approaching Mengdong, although Liaodong is not as cold as the north, but in winter, the sea breeze is very strong, and it is not a day of war." Therefore, the Bohai Navy and the Han Army had to use a long trench to separate the mountain city of Daheishan and the city of Lushun before the snowfall. Make no mistake! ”

It's a hard time! Just gnawed down Lushun Mansion City and Dongguan City and is going to dig a long trench again, and it is a big project...... Dagongding, Gao Yongchang, and Ma Zhi didn't dare to fight for any vacation for their subordinates, and they all got up to receive the order.

Yelu Yanxi's eyes were scorching, and he glanced at the Khitan generals in the tent, "The Khitan armies, recuperate and recuperate, and wait for the day when the sky is cold and the ground is freezing, it is the time for the armies to step on the ice and go south to smash the Lushun Pass!"

This winter, I will break through the Lushun Pass and wipe out all the Youzhou thief army on the coast of the Liaohai Sea! ”

What the? This winter?

The generals in the tent were all shocked. There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? Although King Yan has a large number of soldiers over there in Youzhou, it will take at least a few months for the soldiers to be trained...... Moreover, after the training is completed, it is necessary to prepare military rations and military supplies, and it would be good to be able to go to the battlefield next summer.

Now the emperor is in a hurry to break through the Lushun Pass, and he wants to attack when the weather is cold, is this to use the corpses of the Bohai people and the Han army to fill the wall of the Lushun Pass?

Lushun Pass is a stone town! There is no one hundred and eighty thousand dead and wounded, can it be defeated?
