Chapter 1031 [Alliance]
Entering the car array, some of them naturally set up a platform, the pattern sat in the north and facing south like a meeting, Huang Jie and Zong Wang sat in the main and secondary seats, and the envoys from the rest of the countries were divided into two shifts.
After taking his seat, before Huang Jie could speak, the envoy of Northern Liao also said to the Hui envoy who was side by side with him: "In this kind of pattern, His Royal Highness the King of the County has probably put a lot of thought into it. ”
At this time, it can be seen that the three kingdoms of Hui, Khotan, and Northern Liao sit on Huang Jie's left hand, while the three kingdoms of Western Xia, Goryeo, and Japan sit on the right hand, and the rest of the small countries are arranged in order of distant and close relatives.
But it is also said that after everyone sat down, someone sent melon seed snacks, fruit plates and wine, and a team of female soldiers came up to perform a war dance for the envoys of various countries, and Huang Jie was also busy chatting with Zong Wang privately, knowing that after the war dance was over, he led the cup to drink with the envoys of various countries.
Speaking of which, since Huang Jie settled in Liaoyang and hung up the war-free card, the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State have since entered the stage of strategic stalemate, the Jin State, Zong Wang's style of acting in the past Jin Army's aggression like fire, in the north of Liaoyang, he operated a walled city to make a shrinking turtle, and in just four months, he requisitioned almost 200,000 civilian service troops from all over the country, and built a ring city with a length of more than 15 miles from east to west to build a solid wall, called Huang Jie to see, if you give Zong Wang a few more months, Maybe he'll be able to build this walled city into a new one.
In addition, the Jin Guodong Route Army led by Zong Bi also withdrew from Pyongyang around mid-February, first moved eastward to Wonsan, and broke through Wonsan Fortress in only one day.
According to intelligence, the reason why Zong Bi retreated, on the one hand, was that after losing Gucheng and retreating to Anzhou, the Goryeo border army blocked the road for the 30 divisions of Baishan to rush south to help and Zong Bi to retreat north; On the other hand, it is still a trivial matter that the 30 reinforcements cannot come down, but the prestige of the Yanshan Monarch Chun has greatly increased with the defense of Kaijing and the killing of the deputy marshal of the Jin army, Wanyan Yinshuge, and he actually ascended to the heights and called for the whole territory of Goryeo to join forces with King Qin, and at the end of February, he organized an army with a total number of more than 100,000 people, but went north to surround Pyongyang.
Although he requisitioned a large number of Pyongyang people to help defend the city, his own army was less than 20,000 after all, and he had to guard the city wall and suppress the tens of thousands of Goryeo people in the city.
But why did he go east to Wonsan and slaughter the city, Huang Jie didn't get relevant information, but I heard rumors through the grapevine that when Zong Bi left Wonsan, it seemed that he burned down the house of Cui Zhuo, the former general of Goryeo, in Wonsan, and Cui Zhuo's family has never been traced since.
And at the same time that Zongwang took a defensive position, Huang Jie's side was naturally not idle, first of all, he completed the construction of all the Lingbao from Lianyun Island to Liaoyang before February 2, and then relieved 70,000 of the 100,000 foot soldiers of the Yaozhou base camp to Liaoyang to station.
At the beginning of March, the renovation project of the old city wall of Liaoyang City was also completed, and all the houses and ground buildings in Liaoyang City were demolished, and then half of the urban area to the north was transformed into a military camp, and the southern half of the urban area was laid out on the ground with stone cut culverts and pottery pipe waterways.
According to Huang Jie's plan, if the entire southern half of Liaoyang is planted with vegetables, it will be enough for the 100,000 army to be trapped in Liaoyang.
In addition, Huang Jie even let the navy drive full horsepower, and transported a lot of grain and weapons and equipment from the Great Song Dynasty, as far as the current grain storage in Liaoyang City is enough for 100,000 Song troops to eat for two whole years, and as a massive consumable Divine Arm Bow and arrows, it is as high as 15 million rounds, that is, on average, each person can have 150 rounds of ammunition for arrows.
Of course, for the Song army's tactics of relying on Lingbao to protect the grain road, Zongwang did not think about using cavalry to carry out surprise attacks, but on the one hand, the distance between Lingbao is only thirty miles away, which is not conducive to cavalry sneak attacks, on the other hand, the cavalry of the Zhejia army is not a rookie, and in the past few months, the two sides have also fought at least hundreds of raids and counter-raids around Lingbao.
As for the Jin army, because it was a sneak attacker, there were not many times it won and retreated, and the battlefield medical rescue system of the Song army was also amazingly strong, so it only caused more than 3,000 casualties in the Zhejia army. However, this casualty is nothing to the Zhejia army, although at the beginning of the Zhejia army with Huang Jie crossed the sea and landed only 7,000 people, after these months of continuous transportation, now the elite cavalry under Zhe Keshi has reached the scale of 10,000 people.
And, with the stability of the theater area, the follow-up troops of the Imperial Chariot Army, the Shenwu Army, the Dare Warriors and the Artillery also came from the Great Song Dynasty in a steady stream, and now the Song Army stationed in the whole city has approached the scale of 150,000, including 100,000 foot soldiers, 10,000 cavalry, 20,000 Imperial Che Army, 15,000 Shenwu and 5,000 of Sun Li's new Second Army of Dare Soldiers in Hebei.
As for the first army of daring soldiers that Sun Xin took away to do things on the Jiaodong Peninsula, the results are also very rich, they have managed to get more than 50,000 people so far by pretending to be caravans, bandits, and rogues, and using the means of abduction, deception, and stealing, which is almost equivalent to searching the mountains and villages of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and now they are planning to try to pry open the city gates of some small counties and get all the people inside.
By the way, Huang Jie sent most of the people who were taken away from Liaodong to Shandong, and while giving them a settling-in allowance, he also forcibly gave the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time forcibly diverted the non-agricultural population to the towns, he also distinguished and transformed the agricultural population.
For the Han people in Liaodong who could only farm, Wang Hao borrowed money from the revised "New Qingmiao Law" to encourage them to lease land from the landlords of the Great Song Dynasty for farming, and for those who could only graze, the Zahu, Xi and Bohai people, they were also encouraged to go to the northwest to develop animal husbandry under the "New Qingmiao Law".
In this way, without much gossip, after the female soldiers who played the sword dance left, Huang Jie ordered someone to knock on the bell of the venue, and then he also got up and raised a glass to everyone: "Today, this king invites envoys from various countries to meet here, and there are no more than three things: a country with diplomatic relations, a strip of water, and friendship and good-neighborliness; the second is to initialize the convention, set up a model that is not easy for all generations, and leave a name in history; As for the third......"
