Wan Yan Sheng took a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said slowly: "I don't plan to rescue Goryeo for the time being, what do you think?" ”

"The wolf lord is worried that the rescue will not be successful, but he will fall into it?"

Wan Yansheng nodded, "Goryeo is all mountainous, which is not conducive to cavalry combat, and the Song army is good at defending the city, and there are naval armies outside, I am indeed worried that the rescue will fail, and the loss of tens of thousands of troops will affect morale, so the gains will outweigh the losses." ”

Wanyan Zongwang knew that since the wolf lord said this, he actually gave up Goryeo.

He groaned and said, "I'm afraid that if the Song army takes Goryeo, our pig iron supply will be cut off." ”

"Isn't there still a mine in Liaoyang Prefecture? Instead of relying on Goryeo, it is better to rely on yourself. ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, and asked again, "What about the Prairie Alliance?" ”

"What else can I do, I just think they are a rabble, each with their own plans, and they can't make the climate."

After a pause, Wanyan Zongwang suggested again: "Since the wolf lord is not ready to rescue Goryeo, it is better to transfer another 50,000 troops to Linhuang Mansion to resist the coalition forces of the various tribes in the grassland." ”

"Yes!"

Wan Yansheng agreed, "This plan can be implemented. ”

Although strategically it is possible to despise the unity of the various tribes in the grassland, but tactically it cannot be taken lightly, the 30,000 troops in Linhuang Mansion are too small, and it is best to increase it to 80,000.

At this time, there was a guard outside the tent to report, "General Wushu urgently asks to see you!" ”

"Let him in!"

After a while, Wanyan Zongbi walked into the king's tent quickly, knelt down on one knee and reported: "I just got the news that hundreds of thousands of people from the Khitan Yelu Department and the Xiren Sugu Department have moved west. ”

"What!"

Wan Yan Sheng's eyes widened, in the past year, the Khitan and Xi tribes have continued to move west, so the Jin State closely monitored the Khitan Yelu Department and the Xi people's Sugu Department.

These two tribes are their respective largest tribes, each with hundreds of thousands of people, and once they move west, it means that the slave army of the Jin Kingdom will disappear, which will greatly damage the vitality of the Jin Kingdom.

Needless to say, these two tribes must have gone to Yelu Dashi in Western Liao, Wan Yan Sheng was suddenly furious in his heart, and immediately said to Wan Yan Zongbi: "You lead 30,000 troops to chase them, if you refuse to come back, you will kill me completely!" ”

"Obey!"

After Yan Zongbi saluted, he hurriedly went.

Wan Yan Sheng took a few steps with his hand, and said to Wan Yan Zongwang: "To strengthen the intelligence monitoring of the Song Dynasty, we must always understand every move of the Song Dynasty." ”

..........

In the past few days, the whole city of Bianliang has been talking about the news of conscription, the Privy Council issued an order to conscript 300,000 troops from all over the country, decomposed into various states, and Kaifeng Prefecture was allocated a target of 10,000 people.

The conscription contract is two years, eight yuan per month, fifty yuan at a time when the term is completed, if you die in battle, you can still get a pension of 300 yuan, the parents of the fallen soldiers will receive five buckets of rice per month for life, the disabled can also get a corresponding pension, if you make war achievements, you can also get a land reward.

This kind of treatment is undoubtedly extremely attractive to the devastated areas such as the Central Plains and Hebei, although Kaifeng Prefecture only conscripted 10,000 soldiers, but more than 100,000 applicants, so that the most robust and best young people can be selected to join the army.

Not only Kaifeng Prefecture, but also other prefectures and prefectures are the same, and the registration is extremely enthusiastic, and this conscription also recruits 30,000 Qiang cavalry in Hexi, Xihe, Xiazhou, and Lingzhou.

In just 10 days, the recruitment of 300,000 troops attracted millions of conscripts, and Li Yanqing finally decided to expand the number of conscripts to 400,000.

The reason why such generous conscription conditions can be issued is that the previous donation money exceeded 100 million yuan, so not only the treatment of new recruits has been improved, but also the treatment of veterans.

At the same time, the price of silver also continued to fall, the official silver price was adjusted from the previous one to five to one to three, one tael of silver to three guan money, and the black market silver price also fell to a similar price, and the new meeting of the imperial court was also officially issued, divided into consistent, five and ten guan, the imperial court with 10 million taels of silver and 1 million taels of gold as collateral, issued 60 million guan, and recovered 20 million guan iron money.

In late September, Li Yanqing received the third battle report sent by Zhang Shun from Goryeo, saying that the Song army had captured Nanjing, Jeonju, Gongju, Puzhou, and Tokyo in Goryeo, and at the same time captured the largest iron and copper mine and smelting base in Goryeo, seizing 50 million catties of pig iron and nearly 20 million catties of blister copper.

In the official room, Li Yanqing handed Zhang Shun's report to Fan Zhixu and Gao Shen, "Zhang Shun hopes to increase the number of troops to Goryeo by another 30,000, there is enough food supply there, and we don't need to provide military rations, we only need troops." ”

After reading the report, Fan Zhixu didn't finish it for a long time, of course he understood the significance of Li Yanqing's proposal to increase troops, which was originally to open up a passage to attack Jin from the east, but now it was to occupy the entire Goryeo, and the nature was completely different.

Gao Shen smiled next to him: "During the Eastern Han Dynasty, the north of the Han River in Goryeo was the territory of the Han Dynasty, and Lelang County and Obifang County were established at that time. ”

Fan Zhixu shook his head and said: "I'm not saying that I can't occupy the land of Goryeo, I'm thinking about how to occupy it for a long time, if it's just a simple occupation, if something happens to the Central Plains, Goryeo will return to its original appearance, which is no different from the Han and Tang dynasties." ”

Fan Zhixuan walked a few steps and said to Li Yanqing: "I suggest that you can learn from the Han Dynasty's Tui'en Decree, use the method of dividing the feuds, divide Goryeo into dozens of small countries first, and then promote Chinese language and Confucianism, plan to immigrate, and then gradually encroach on it in twenty or thirty years, and Goryeo will no longer exist." ”

Li Yanqing pondered for a moment, "But the existence of the army in the next twenty or thirty years is necessary, and my expansion of 100,000 troops this time is actually to consider the future garrison in Goryeo, Jinguo and other places. ”

"Weichen has no opinion on this plan, I don't know when Dutong plans to increase his troops?"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Actually, I've already increased my troops!" ”

..........

Li Yanqing had already assembled an army of 30,000 in Dengzhou in advance, led by Niu Gao, the commander of the capital, and when the 400 ships that came to transport troops arrived in Dengzhou again, the 30,000 troops immediately boarded the ships and went to sea.

On the first day of October, the fleet arrived at the Song Army's naval base Jianghua Island, Jianghua Island is a large island off the coast of Kaijing, with a radius of 800 li, the fishermen on the island have all moved away, the whole island has become the Song Army's naval base, all the warships are moored in the east of the island, between here and the land is a strait that is more than 30 miles wide, and it is also a very good natural port, starting from here, it only takes one hour to reach the mouth of the Chengjiang River, if special circumstances occur, the Song army can also retreat to Jianghua Island in time.

At present, Ganghwa Island has been given to the Song Dynasty as a thank you gift by King Wang Kai of Goryeo, so this large island has in fact become a sea enclave of the Song Dynasty on the Goryeo Peninsula, and the army generals unanimously agreed to change its name to Dongan Island.

In the name of building a military city, Zhang Shun planned to build Dong'an County on the island, so that the families of the garrison could be sent here to live.

When Niu Gao arrived on Dong'an Island, Zhang Shun had been waiting for him on the island for a long time.

A small boat approached Niu Gao's boat, it was Zhang Shun and Ruan Xiaoer on the boat, the two got on the big boat, everyone hugged tightly, Zhang Shun smiled and said: "I'm afraid there is no time for General Niu to go to the island to rest!" ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Zhang Shunyi waved his hand, "Let's go to the cabin and talk!" ”

The three of them walked into the cabin, Zhang Shun spread out a map of Goryeo on the table, and said to Niu Gao: "Just yesterday, our scouts in Sinuiju sent a pigeon letter, Li Ziqian led an army of 40,000 to Kaijing at a rapid pace, and it is estimated that they will arrive in Kaijing at noon tomorrow." ”

Niu Gao frowned, "Why did you suddenly kill?" ”

Zhang Shun smiled and said: "There are two reasons, one is that Jin Guo rejected Li Ziqian's request for help, and the other reason is more important, there are only 15,000 Song troops in Kaijing. ”

Niu Gao was even more puzzled, "Isn't it an army of 50,000?" ”

"The Song army swept through the entire territory of Goryeo, 30,000 troops were stationed in various parts of Goryeo, and there were 5,000 garrisons on Dong'an Island, so there were only 15,000 Song troops left in Kaijing.

Niu Gao nodded, "I understand, and then what?" ”

Zhang Shun said: "This army did not carry grain baggage, each soldier only brought seven days of dry rations, if they could not capture Kaijing in two days, then they could only retreat to Sinuiju, perhaps directly to the Jin State." ”

Niu Gao walked a few steps and said with a smile: "General Zhang, but let us go north by boat, take Sinuiju, and block the Yalu River?" ”

"Exactly!"

"Is that just in time?" Niu Gao asked the most critical question.

"There should be a lot of time!"

Ruan Xiaoer next to him said: "We have calculated that it will take about three days from Dong'an Island to the mouth of the Yalu River, including taking Sinuiju, a total of three and a half days is enough, and it will take six days for the enemy to arrive in Kaijing and then return to Sinuiju. ”

Niu Gao glanced at Ruan Xiaoer and smiled: "General Ruan is going with me?" ”

Ruan Xiaoer nodded, "I will act as a guide and take Niu Dutong to Xinyi City, and in addition, I will also be responsible for destroying the pontoon bridge!" ”

Niu Gao was overjoyed, "Then let's go now!" ”
