"Dashuai, what you said is true? Did the emperor really decide to go on a personal expedition? ”

"Of course it's true, can't it be fake!"

Zhao Yougong is really a little powerless, he conveyed the news that Zhao Gou personally came to command, from top to bottom, all the generals are incredible, everyone asked this sentence I don't know how many times, Zhao Yougong's mouth was dry.

"The news of the emperor's royal conquest, don't release it for the time being! If the enemy knows about it, they will definitely send someone to intercept it, but I am afraid that it will be more troublesome at that time. You just know it in your hearts, before the emperor arrives here, we must take Liaoyang Mansion as soon as possible and give the emperor a big gift, how about it? ”

"That's nature!" Everyone hurriedly agreed, they were very happy, Zhao Gou is not only their backbone, but also today, the emperor is the emperor, which is a real morale boost, greatly improving the morale of the soldiers.

The backbone of 'Yue Jiajun' is Yue Fei, the backbone of 'Han Jiajun' is Han Shizhong, and the backbone of 'Liu Jiajun' is Liu Guangshi, but their backbone is the current emperor. In their eyes, Zhao Gou is not only the emperor, but also their marshal.

Although Zhao Yougong is the commander of the Northern Expedition, he also follows Zhao Gou's deployment to carry it out, even Zhao Yougong feels that he has no scruples about following Zhao Gou's side. At the beginning, the Jin soldiers invaded the south, and Zhao Gou fought against the water, and the soldiers who experienced that battle saw Zhao Gou's strength and admired it very much.

As an emperor, he is admired by the soldiers, not necessarily because of his great military talent, but because of the identity of the emperor. Zhao Gou was respected by them entirely because his ability was too strong, and everyone knew that it was difficult to match.

Zhao Gou rushed to Liaoyang Mansion non-stop, and Zhao Yougong and the others were not idle, they were all discussing how to take Liaoyang Mansion.

"The last time our army attacked Shenzhou, we were defeated, and the Jin soldiers must be on guard! Liaoyang Mansion and Shenzhou are only more than 100 miles apart, and when we attack Liaoyang Mansion, we need to guard against both sides, and there is a Po Su Road army in the south of Liaoyang Mansion to respond, if the expectation is good, Liaoyang Mansion has at least 200,000 troops hoarded. ”

Han Shizhong said in a deep voice: "The strength of Liaoyang Mansion already has 100,000 troops, plus the troops transferred from the surrounding areas, there are indeed 200,000. In addition, across the river to the south of Liaoyang Mansion is the Goryeo Kingdom, with the strength of the Jin Dynasty, I am afraid that Goryeo has already bowed to the vassals. ”

"The Western Xia army has been harassing the Great Song Dynasty, but it is reluctant to attack, nor is it willing to fight with our army, it is nothing more than the selfishness of the Western Xia monarch, he wants to reap the benefits of the fisherman. When our army and the Jin soldiers fought, no one knew who would win or lose, and the Western Xia monarch did not dare to gamble. ”

"If our army wins, then he has offended the Great Song Dynasty, and with the emperor's temperament, he will definitely send a large army to crusade. However, Goryeo is a little different from Western Xia, Goryeo is already connected to Liaoyang Province, and it is also south of the Jin Dynasty, if you do not obey the orders of the Jin Emperor, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the attack of the Jin soldiers, and I guess they will definitely send troops to support. ”

"General Han is right!" Yue Fei continued, "Most of our army is attacking by land, if we attack by water, I don't know if it is feasible?" ”

Zhao Yougong said: "How to attack from the waterway? ”

"Do you still remember that we entered Liaoyang Mansion with the emperor and negotiated with the emperor of the Jin Dynasty?" Yue Fei reminded Zhao Yougong, recalling that when he came with Zhao Gou, he did go from the sea, but he also encountered danger at that time.

"If it is attacked from the sea, it is very unfavorable for us, we are not familiar with the sea here, and there are no large ships, can not carry a large number of soldiers, if it is not impossible to attack from the waterway, we can take Jinzhou, Laizhou as a ferry, directly cross the Bohai Sea into the hinterland of Liaoyang Prefecture, the speed of the army to occupy the Posu Road, when the Liaoyang Mansion belly back to the enemy, can also give the Jin soldiers a fierce blow, but also can use this as a breakthrough to warn the army of Goryeo rescue."

"It's just that how many soldiers in our army are familiar with water warfare?" Zhao Yougong sighed, "If only General Song, General Lu and others were still alive!" ”

Everyone was silent for a while, they knew who Zhao Yougong was talking about, that was Song General, Lu Junyi and others, Yue Fei and Lu Junyi were from the same school, and they also knew that Lu Junyi, Song Jiang and others occupied Shuibo Liangshan, and they were most familiar with water warfare, but it was a pity that during the last Song and Jin War, they were all killed, and the deceased had gone, only the military advisor Wu Yong was there, Wu was disheartened and had left the court for a long time, and he didn't know where to go.

"Back to the big handsome, there are people outside the tent who ask to see you!"

Zhao Yougong said: "Who is the person who came?" ”

"That man said the emperor sent him!"

"Sent by the emperor?" Zhao Yougong muttered to himself, a little puzzled, but still invited him in.

When that person appeared in front of everyone, everyone was stunned, just because the person in front of them was the military advisor Wu Yong, and Yan Qing, who had not appeared for a long time, and the two of them came together. Zhao Yougong, Yue Fei and others were more familiar with them, and hurriedly stepped forward to respond.

"Strategist, where have you been all these years?"

"Brother Yanqing!"

Everyone greeted each other, and Wu Yong saw that many generals were there, thinking that they were worried about attacking Liaoyang Mansion, and said straight to the point: "Your Highness is worrying about how to attack Liaoyang Mansion?" ”

"The military advisor god is also! That's what I'm worried about! Zhao Yougong didn't refute, he admitted it directly, and then asked: "Brother Junshi and Brother Yanqing, why are you here?" ”

"Brother Yan Qing and I came here to help His Highness solve this matter!" Wu Yong smiled and said: "In terms of the current situation, there are only two ways to attack, one is to attack Liaoyang Mansion head-on, and the other is from the waterway, and the generals in the army are less familiar with water warfare, so Yan Qing and I came to personally command the battle." ”

"That's great!" Zhao Yougong was overjoyed and said, "If the military advisor has any needs, as long as I can do it, I will obey your dispatch!" ”

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Your Highness is serious, I want to borrow two people from Your Highness, I don't know ......"

"Who do you want to borrow? But it doesn't hurt to say it! Zhao Yougong didn't wait for the useless to finish speaking, so he agreed.

"Wu Ling, Wu Jue!" Wu Yong said the names of those two, and everyone was also surprised, and explained: "Although the two brothers Wu Ling and Wu Yu are northerners, both of them are familiar with water warfare, and I also know that the two of them are generals under Marshal Zhang's account, why don't you see Marshal Zhang?" ”

Yue Fei was stunned, why didn't he think of Wu Luan, you must know that they entered the army in the same batch, and they were also together later, but they rarely communicated. At that time, Yue Fei was already highly valued by the emperor, and so was Wu Lan, but the place they guarded was different.

Wu Lan and Wu Jue originally followed Liu Qi to resist the Western Xia army and defend the land of Bashu, but later Liu Qi sent them to Zhang Jun and asked him to lead them to resist the army. However, Wu Ling and Wu Jue had never had the experience of water warfare, and everyone was a little confused as to why the military advisor said this.

"Your Highness doesn't know! General Wu and Marshal Yue entered the army at the same time, but they were ordered by the emperor before, when the emperor was still the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, he planned everything and ordered them to train a group of sailors to exterminate the water bandits. I didn't know about this matter, and later the emperor told me that I didn't stay in Gubeikou at that time, and it was also because of the emperor's order that I was joined by Wu Ling and Wu Jue, and the Yanqing brothers were also together, so they were more familiar with water warfare. ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and Zhao Yougong said: "In this way, the military advisor and the Yanqing brothers came to follow the emperor's will?" ”

"Exactly!" Wu Yong and Yan Qing nodded.

They were already people who were familiar with water warfare, if it weren't for Yan Qing's reluctance to stay in the court as an official, but Zhao Gou didn't let him be idle. As for Wu Song, Lu Zhishen and the others have completely converted, Zhao Gou did not force them to go out of the mountain, but when Lu Zhishen cultivated the organization, he sat down after success, and Wu Song left from then on.

Zhao Yougong immediately sent an order, and asked Wu Ling, Wu Ling, and Wu Yu to gather their troops and horses, and set off with Wu Yong and Yan Qing. Wu Yong divided the army into two groups, one group was from Jinzhou, and the other group was from Laizhou, directly entering the hinterland of Liaoyang Prefecture.

Wu Yong, Yan Qing, Wu Ling, and Wu Jue, with Wu Ling and Wu Jie as deputy marshals, Yan Qing as the general, and Wu Yong as the military advisor, selected 5,000 soldiers from the army who knew how to be watery, and set off quietly. Zhao Yougong also adopted Wu Yong's suggestion, and he personally led the army to attack from the front.

Now that the Song army occupied Guangning Province, he could enter Liaoyang Province as long as he crossed the Taizi River, and he attracted the attention of the Jin soldiers in front, and asked Liu Guangshi to lead a large army to intercept the reinforcements sent by Shenzhou, so that Liaoyang Province was completely isolated.

The Jin soldiers were attracted by the main force of the Song army, and they were defenseless against the Song army's army entering the hinterland from the Bohai Sea, and they really fell into the plan. Wu Ling and Wu Jue led the army to land, while Yan Qing led 500 people to stay at the ferry and wait, and the military division did not go, only Wu Ling and Wu Jue led the army to attack Liaoyang Mansion directly from the rear.

When Wu Ling and Wu Yu led a large army to attack the rear, the defenders of Liaoyang Mansion discovered it, and he dispersed his forces again, and sent a team of 2,000 people to the ferry to look for the Song ships. After groping, Yan Qing and others were finally found, and after a big battle, Yan Qing was seriously wounded, the military division was killed by the enemy's arrows, and the 2,000 pioneers were all wiped out.

At this time, Liaoyang Mansion was attacked by the enemy, Zhao Yougong passed on the military order, the army attacked in an all-round way, launched an attack from the front, and responded from the rear, and Liu Guangshi led the army to prevent the rescue of Shenzhou, and finally the three armies were encircled, and finally broke through Liaoyang Mansion and completely took it.

Zhao Yougong hurriedly led the army to support Yan Qing and the others, if he hadn't come in time, he was afraid that Yan Qing would also die miserably, and the Song army set off again to snipe the army sent by Goryeo, the two armies confronted, and the Goryeo army did not attack, because they also knew that the Song army had won.

If they fought with the Song army, it would do them more harm than good, and finally Goryeo withdrew.

After the Song army occupied Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, there are now Xijing Datong Mansion, Zhongjing Dading Mansion, plus Yanjing, and Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is still in the hands of the Jin people, and the others have been broken and occupied by the Song army. Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng, who was in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, learned that Liaoyang Mansion had been breached, and then the news that Shenzhou had been breached, and everyone in the Jin Dynasty was terrified.

"Your Majesty, the Song army is coming, what should we do?"

"Panic!"

Wan Yan Sheng was furious, these people are high-ranking officials on weekdays, and everyone can use them when they encounter things, which makes him very angry, it would be great if there were talented people around him, and those who were really talented were all sent to attack the Great Song Dynasty, and those who stayed in Shangjing were all civil officials.

Since the Song army's all-out counterattack on the Jin Dynasty, Wan Yansheng has received an unknown number of requests for reinforcements, and he is already anxious. In these years, he has ambitiously attacked the Great Song Dynasty, in order to obtain the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the fertile land.

Compared with the state of life of the Song people, one is heaven and the other is hell. Every year in the cold winter, tens of thousands of people starve to death, and there are not a few who freeze to death. The Song people had huge resources to provide, and if it weren't for the inaction of several emperors of the Song Dynasty, they would not have caused the people to be displaced and rioted.

Wanyan Sheng has long had the heart to embezzle the Great Song Dynasty, and even Wanyan Aguda is the same, but Wanyan Agu has accepted the favor of Zhao Gou, and has also seen the combat effectiveness of the Song army, which is not much better than his own side, and finally Wanyan Agu dispelled the intention of embezzling the Great Song Dynasty.

If Yan Agu didn't die, maybe he would take the initiative to negotiate peace with the Song people and stop provoking war. After the battle of exterminating Liao, and provoking the war again, I am afraid that the vitality of the Jin Dynasty will also be greatly damaged and it will be difficult to recover. It's just that after Wan Yan Sheng inherited the throne, he changed his original intention of Wan Yan Agu.

Wan Yan Sheng wanted to make up for the vitality of the Jin Dynasty by plundering the resources of the Song Dynasty, but he gathered a million troops to attack the Great Song Dynasty, but he was still blocked, and then launched continuous attacks, or the same result, and finally Wan Yan Sheng also began to think about the situation of the Jin Dynasty, and decided to recover his vitality at the same time, but also to start a war.

It's a pity that the Jin Dynasty's heritage can't be compared with the Song Dynasty, each tribe guards one side, and sometimes it goes its own way, never communicates, and even competes with each other for cattle and sheep, which makes Wan Yansheng very angry and punishes some people, such a situation is still unavoidable in the cold winter season, and it happens repeatedly.

Wan Yansheng has been heartbroken about this matter all these years, so he can only gather them all together and plunder the resources of other countries to alleviate the losses in the cold winter season every year. Therefore, Wanyan Sheng launched a war against Goryeo and Western Xia, which also restored a trace of vitality to the Jin Dynasty and alleviated domestic contradictions.

After eight years of development, the national strength of the Jin Dynasty has also increased a lot, and it has gained a lot of things from Western Xia and Goryeo, making the Jin Dynasty stronger and stronger. However, Western Xia and Goryeo were both small countries and could not be compared with the Song Dynasty, which had a lot of land and resources.

Wan Yansheng's ultimate goal is to embezzle the Great Song Dynasty and get more resources!

The Jin Dynasty produced many military generals, but there were few Wenchen as many as the Song Dynasty, and some of them were grazing and later got promoted because they followed Wan Yan Sheng, such a country was still managed by Wan Yan Sheng himself, and there were few who could help him, and finally Wan Yan Sheng simply selected talents from the common people.

The Song Dynasty had a imperial examination system to select talents, and the Jin Dynasty also had a unique way, Wan Yan Sheng was not a mediocre and incompetent emperor, and he was not under Wan Yan Agu in terms of talent. Wan Yansheng passed the screening and passed the personal test, and also obtained a lot of talents, but most of them were military generals, and most of them were literati in the Song Dynasty.

In the end, Wanyan Sheng even asked some generals to stay in Shangjing and become civil officials, such as: Wanyan Zongwang! At the beginning, Wanyan Zongwang was seriously injured by Zhao Gou, dying, and was immediately sent to Shangjing, he was unable to fight again, so he could only stay in Shangjing as an official, but unfortunately his body was exhausted over the years and could not afford it.

"Your Majesty, the front line has been repeatedly lost, I am afraid that the Song army will not give up, and I ask the emperor to make a decision as soon as possible, if it drags on any longer, it will change later!"

Wan Yan Sheng replied: "Rong Zhen think about it! ”

According to the report from the spies ahead, the Song army has already crossed the river and approached Shangjing Linhuangfu, Gyeongju and other places, and will arrive in Gyeongju in a few days. If Gyeongju is breached, then Shangjing will face the siege of the Song army, leaving Qingshan without worrying about running out of firewood! ”

"Retreat!" Wan Yansheng said a little helplessly, he really didn't want to say it, and he didn't want to do it, it was really a shame.

Wan Yan Sheng had already received military information, saying that the army of the Song Dynasty was divided into two routes, one was to attack Liaoyang Mansion, and the other was to attack Qingzhou and Linhuang Mansion all the way north, which made Wan Yan Sheng very helpless. Now that the Jin Dynasty has lost its cities one after another, if it drags on any longer, it will really be a soldier in the city.

Shangjing Linhuang Mansion is the capital of Liao, Wanyan Sheng took this place as a base camp, but also in order to better dispatch the army to attack the Song Dynasty, now it is good that the Song Dynasty did not break through, attracting the Song Dynasty counterattack, which made him a little depressed, but helpless.

The capital of the Jin Dynasty was in Huining Mansion, but Wan Yansheng insisted on moving the capital here, but he didn't want to leave a big hidden danger for himself. The army of the Song Dynasty attacked, and if it was a tough encounter with them, there would be more than one luck. If there is a million army, it is good to say something, but the seven seven or eight of the million army that have been wiped out, there is not much left, and it is unknown whether the soldiers who stayed in Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing can be stopped in front of the Song army.

In the end, Wan Yan Sheng was forced to retreat, he took part of his troops and retreated to Huining Mansion, while Shangjing Linhuang Mansion was guarded by Wan Yan Zongwang, also in order to confuse the Song army, prove that the Jin Dynasty emperor was still in Linhuang, attract attention, and give Wan Yan Sheng time to escape.

Under the cover of 100,000 troops, Wanyan Sheng marched directly from Linhuang Mansion to the east, passed through Taizhou and Zhaozhou cities, and arrived at Huining Mansion after crossing the river.

The news that Jin Taizong abandoned the city and fled has been blocked by Wanyan Zongwang, if the soldiers knew that the emperor had abandoned the city and fled, then they would not resist to the death, and they would not have any fighting spirit. Besides, the Jin Dynasty was originally formed by the union of various tribes, and it will really fall apart when the time comes.
