Chapter 180: A Risky Gamble (Part I)
Chapter 180: A Risky Gamble (Part I)
Shan Futian's prominence is also a great luck for the empire's southeast sea frontier.
God seems to be deliberately favoring this empire, although the Great Zhao Empire is weakening day by day. But there is never a shortage of capable ministers in the empire that is growing day by day. In the past three dynasties, a large number of capable ministers such as Shang Chuanren and Peng Chaodong have emerged.
Since the Three Dynasties, the capable ministers who have emerged are not even inferior to the beginning of the country. It was this time that Nengchen emerged and saved this dying old empire, and the Great Zhao Empire was able to survive to this day.
Shi Yufeng's supplies did not arrive, but He Tengxiao's plan to develop Changsheng Island and Middle Island could not be shelved. Changsheng Island and Nakashima are both large islands, which are not just palm-sized islands than Yunguam, and they can be developed in two or three months.
Huang Zheng rushed back to Beijing City with a bunch of dominoes and military registration cards given to him by Wu Tingzhen to report the good news.
The commander of Jinyiwei made Luo Tianming not love money, he was still upright, and he was not embarrassed by Wu Tingzhen, and after verifying his military exploits, he simply agreed to report his military exploits to the emperor truthfully. It was not easy for several generations of Jinyi Guard commanders to come up with such a freak, who doesn't love money, which is also a rare point.
Luo Tianming's act of not accepting money actually surprised Wu Tingzhen and his family. In the end, Wu Tingzhen still gave the ancestral Yanling knife as a gift to Luo Tianming, Luo Tianming is a person who loves knives. It's not pretentious, it's very happy, and I like to accept this generous gift.
The two teams of Jinyiwei and the Detective Factory reported their victories in a high-profile manner all the way, and their combat exploits have been verified that this is a real victory, and there is no element of fraud, and there will naturally be no psychological pressure when they publicize it, and they will be suspected of lying about the victory.
The news of the great victory spread all the way from Liaodong to Beizhili and all the way to Jingshi City. Previously, the news of the great victory had begun to spread, but at that time, the oral victory was what people called gossip, and it was not officially confirmed. Those who know only talk about it in private, and don't dare to discuss it in public. There is no other reason, I am afraid that this great victory is a rumor and a lie.
Now, the news of the great victory has been verified and confirmed. On the road, Jinyiwei and the fans of the Detective Factory took the initiative to spread the news of the great victory, and the news that the two spy agencies of Jinyiwei and the Detective Factory were confirmed, naturally no one would doubt it.
The Zhao people, who were full of defeat, finally looked forward to their long-lost victory, and finally raised their eyebrows in front of the foreign clan for a while.
The news that the town armies in various places have won a great victory is also exciting, and Da Zhao has finally won a big victory, or a big victory!
The whole empire rejoiced at the victory in this foreign war, and rushed to tell each other, and there was a sense of joy. Especially the residents of Liaodong, Liaodong has been at the forefront of the war between Zhao and Liao for many years, the Liao people have suffered from war, almost every family has had a blood feud with the Liao army, the Liao army was defeated, how can you not like it!
All parts of Liaodong set off firecrackers to celebrate the New Year, which was even happier than the New Year.
At this time, the Liao army was gloomy, and this defeat cast a shadow on the Liao army.
More than 30,000 soldiers were killed, and almost every Manshu family had a man who died on the battlefield.
What made Manshu even more angry was that they could not even recover the remains of their fallen family members. The defenders of Haizhou City were forced by the pressure of Wanyan Haiya to send a large army to collect the remains of the fallen soldiers of the Manshu tribe, these bodies were headless corpses, and the heads were cut off by the Zhao army for merit. Faced with a pile of decomposing headless corpses, it is impossible to identify whether it is his own family before his death.
However, this defeat did not curb Liao's ambitions for further expansion. Liao, the emerging state apparatus, is still functioning in an orderly manner.
The top leadership of the Liao State hurriedly stepped up the deployment of the next military operation, hoping that the next victory would wash away the shame caused by this defeat.
This military operation is the heart of the Great Zhao Empire that broke through the Great Wall: Beizhili!
Since their ancestors were driven out of Liaodong, the Manshu people have never set foot in this land again. Among all the barbarians in the border area, only the Menggu tribe entered the Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili of the Great Zhao Empire when they were strong. In addition, no other clan has ever set foot in the Gyeonggi land of the Great Zhao Empire.
The experience of the Meng ancients going deep into the Northern Zhili of the Great Zhao Empire and plundering once became the capital for the Meng people to boast about other barbarians.
"Chen Aiqing, I think this plan is too risky, and the army is alone and deep, without any foreign aid, which is a taboo for soldiers."
There was not much time to grieve over the defeat, and the top brass of the Liao State did not seem to have experienced this great defeat, plotting a terrifying military operation. This military operation was very risky, so risky that Wanyan Shengcong, who had always been decisive, hesitated and hesitated.
Wanyan Shengcong has always acted decisively, vigorously and resolutely, and has a great reputation among the Manshu people. This is also the capital of him as the emperor of Liao, and nearly a million Manshu people trust their Great Khan and support their Great Khan. In their minds, Wanyan Shengcong is a natural existence, and Wanyan Shengcong is even known as the son of immortality among the Manshu clan. Changshengtian is the most worshiped god of the Manshu people, they believe that Wanyan Shengcong is the son of Changshengtian, and Changshengtian sent Wanyan Shengcong to come into the world to save the Manshu people from suffering.
Over the years, under the guidance of Wanyan Shengcong, the life of the Manshu people has indeed nourished a lot. They also believed in the statement that Wanyan Shengcong was the son of the Immortal Heaven.
"It's not a war, it's a gamble!" Wan Yan Fushen was able to get off the sickbed, but his body was still very weak, but Wan Yan Fushen still insisted on participating in this important meeting.
Entering the land of Gyeonggi in the Zhao Empire was a dream idea for the Manshu people, who almost dreamed of entering the northern Zhili of the Zhao Empire. Although Liaodong is the territory of Southern Zhao, it is still a barren frontier after all, and only by breaking through the Great Wall of the Zhao Empire and entering the plain of Yima Pingchuan north of the Yellow River is the real Central Plains.
The previous decision-making of the top management of the Manshu ethnic group was relatively stable. The high-level of the Manshu tribe planned to occupy the entire Liaodong and then try to get involved in the Central Plains, and if the time and conditions permitted, the next step would be to enter the Central Plains. And the passage to the Central Plains, the high-level of the Manshu tribe has already found it.
This passage is the Liaoxi Corridor, after occupying Liaodong, it finally broke through the Liaodong Corridor, occupied Haimen Guancheng, and opened up the passage into the Central Plains. There is no doubt that this passage is also the only choice for Liao, and it is the only passage that can connect Beizhili and Liaodong well.
It's just that the ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel.
According to the news sent back by the spies who infiltrated the Zhao army, the Qin army had already realized the importance of this passage. In response to the expansion of the Liao State, a multi-level defense line was built to resist the Liao army with the Western Liaoning Corridor as the depth.
This point is the weakness of the Liao army, and what the Liao army is most afraid of is a protracted battle. The Liao army can't afford it!
Peng Chaodong did not make an aggressive move, and this victory did not take advantage of the victory to regain the lost ground, but honestly built the defense line of the Liaoning West Corridor. It has been shown that Peng Chaodong does not seek merit but no fault, and wants to consume the Liao army to the end! (To be continued.) )
