Raozhou, located in the upper reaches of Huangshui. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
This generation was the land of Longxing of the Liao State, but later the political and economic center of the Liao State was transferred to Shangjing, and then concentrated in the sixteen states of Yanyun in the south.
Although Raozhou is not very prosperous, its geographical location is very important. Just in the middle of Shangjing and Nan/Beijing (Youzhou), holding the Huangshui Ferry, the strategic significance is very significant.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon of this day, the army came in a hurry from the north and rushed to the barracks of the Raozhou defenders as soon as possible.
The leader was Yelu Yixin, who rebelled in Beijing and did not capture Yelu Hongji, and the assassination of Yelu Jun failed again, and he had no intention of losing everything. (He didn't know that Yelu Hongji was seriously injured and would die)
At this time, Yelu Jun was leading the army to conquer the east and quickly pounced on Shangjing, and the divisions of King Qin from all over the country also rushed to Shangjing.
If you want to survive, you must leave the most dangerous place and move as soon as possible!
Escape from the danger situation, and then find a way, maybe there will be a chance to live. Even if you become a rogue, as long as you cross the grassland, there will always be a chance, and you don't know if you will make a comeback!
Yelu Yixin set his sights on the south, and if he could hurry, maybe this would be a good opportunity for the Jedi to fight back.
The top priority is to pass through Raozhou and cross the Huangshui!
Although it is summer, which happens to be the rainy season, the water level of Huangshui is not high. After scouting, the location of the river crossing was quickly determined, and the water was able to wade across the river, which was undoubtedly a good way to save time.
Standing on the bank, watching the army continue to cross the river, Yelu Yixin's solemn expression relaxed slightly. Even if he is now detained as a rebel against the party, he is not afraid, how can he do it without a little foundation in the Liao State for so many years? Now is the time to use it.
After the water, there is great hope!
Seeing that the sky was gradually overcast, and it was likely that there would be rain, Yelu Yixin had to keep urging the soldiers to cross the river as soon as possible. If it rains, the trip will be affected. Now is the time to fight hard. Where can I delay for a moment?
As a result, the entire Huangshui River was full of soldiers under the command of Yelu Yixin.
Just as the soldiers in front of them crossed the river and landed, and most of the soldiers were still in the river, a loud roar was heard.
Yelu Yixin was shocked. Where did the sound come from, was it the cavalry chasing? It won't be so fast. Yelujun will take a long time to return to Shangjing from Liaoyang and then turn around and go south.
But the roar became louder and louder, and suddenly a sharp-eyed soldier saw that a raging white wave was coming quickly in the upper bay of the river.
The waves are high, fast, and the deafening roar is terrifying. The waves fell on the soldiers' eyes, and there was only fear. I'm terrified!
Standing on the bank of the river, Yelu Yixin watched as a huge wave passed, and the soldiers crossing the river struggled in the water until they finally disappeared into the rushing current.
The water suddenly swelled, swallowing countless lives. It also devoured Yelu Yixin's extravagant hopes.
His mouth was wide open, and he still couldn't accept the reality in front of him, and he didn't even understand what was going on. After being stunned, he came back to his senses, and endless horror welled up in his heart.
Some people are barricade and store water in the upper reaches of Huangshui, just to wait for themselves to cross halfway, which is a premeditated ambush.
So who are the ambushers?
Soon. The answer has emerged!
The earth rumbled again, and Jereyisin was sure that this time it was the horses' hooves, not the river.
When the leather room army appeared with Yelu Jun guarding them and forced the remaining 20,000 or 30,000 men to the edge of the water, Yelu Yixin suddenly wanted to laugh. But I couldn't laugh.
Yelujun actually came, wasn't he calculated again?
ā¦ā¦
ā¦ā¦
Yelu Yixin saw that he couldn't stay in the capital anymore, so he could only leave with tens of thousands of troops. If it's pure wandering, without a suitable destination, it's no different from a rogue on the steppe.
But anyway. It is impossible to have tens of thousands of rogues, with no future in sight, and who wants to continue to follow them? At that time, the morale of the army will inevitably be weakened, and the rebel soldiers will also leave for various reasons. Once it falls apart, it's really over. If your life is not guaranteed, you will lose the chance to fight last.
People like Yelu Yixin will either not do it in their bones, or they will do it absolutely, of course, the price may be to lose everything. He was a man who didn't want to give in easily, and he decided to give it a try, one last resort.
If you want to compete with Yeluhongji father and son, even if it is just a confrontation, it is not enough to rely on the little force in your hand. At this time, strengthening the strength is becoming more and more important.
But where are the troops? Is it enough to compete with Yelujun and make him turn over the army?
The answer is exactly - Liaoguonan/Jingyouzhou City!
Youzhou is stationed with the elite of another Liao State, and the Hebei Road Army of the Song Dynasty defends against them, and the Liao State also has to guard against the Song people. Especially the Song Dynasty's constant clamoring to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun still has a certain amount of pressure on the Liao State.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are in the southernmost part of the Liao Kingdom, and they are also the most sinicized in the original, and the agriculture, handicrafts, and commerce here are very developed. The status of Liao is very important, and its economic significance has long surpassed that of Shangjing, and it cannot be missed.
In this case, it is inevitable that heavy troops will be stationed in Youzhou to protect Nanjing and protect the commercial center. At the same time, it is also to guard against the Song Dynasty and exert pressure on the Song Dynasty, and there are not a few troops.
If you can control the soldiers and horses in Youzhou, then there will inevitably be a great increase in strength, and with the danger of Yanshan, you may be able to gain a firm foothold and make a comeback. This is the only chance to compete with Yelu Jun's father and son, and Yelu Yixin's true purpose is here.
That's why they have to run wild day and night, and go south as soon as possible, in order to get rid of the pursuers. In the past, he was stationed in Youzhou for a long time, and there were some generals appointed by him, and many people were somewhat related to him, and they also had an intricate foundation. At this time, he fled to Youzhou, and he had a chance to make a comeback and turn defeat into victory.
That's why he was in a hurry to cross the water, life and death were on the line.
The problem is that he can think of it himself, and the crown prince Yelujun can also think of it.
After receiving the news of Yelu Yixin's rebellion, Yelu Jun was very anxious, and planned to quickly lead the army back to Beijing. However, after leaving, he changed his mind, and in the battle with the Jurchens, he accumulated a lot of combat experience and considered the problem more comprehensively.
If something like this happens, how can Yelu Yixin sit still and wait for death? It will inevitably be a rebound and a desperate fight.
And the capital of this fight is only in Youzhou and the northwest, and the strength of the Tiande army in Hetao is not weak, but the distance is far away, and it is too late to rush over.
The most likely is undoubtedly Youzhou, which can compete with Shangjing!
How could Yelujun tolerate such a situation? Therefore, he sent his henchmen back to stabilize Shangjing as soon as possible. Then he personally led a part of the soldiers and horses to Raozhou, the place where he had to pass through in the south. A villain like Yelu Yixin must be hit with one blow and completely strangled, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
So, a big pit was dug in the water. Yelu Yixin was careless for a moment, and he didn't notice it at all, and then jumped down desperately.
So, all that awaits him is the end of the road!
