Liaodong. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Huang Yongtao's private soldiers of the Huang clan failed to attack the Liao State, but instead returned with a miserable defeat, the various forces in Liaodong have learned from Huang Yongtao's past, and none of them dare to fight the idea of the Liao State again.

The Huang clan is recognized as the most powerful local wealthy clan in eastern Liaodong, and the Huang clan still can't bargain in front of the Liao army, and other forces also have to weigh how many catties and taels they have.

After Huang Yongtao fled back to Jinzhou in embarrassment, the eastern Liaodong region tended to be calm. Although the Liao army won, the Liao army was empty after all, and it did not dare to use troops on a large scale when the hinterland of the Liao State was empty.

Fuzhou City, Wu'an Mansion.

These few days have been a rare and relaxing time for He Fangxiong.

After the He Lion and Leopard rebellion, the He people gradually calmed down, and after the Liao army broke through the border and entered the customs, the Liao army that stayed behind also had no intention of using troops against the He people, and the He people enjoyed a rare calm time over the years.

The war seems to be far away from the He.

Snowflakes drift aimlessly in the wind like torn cotton wool.

This is the first heavy snow in Liaodong since the beginning of winter, and Liaodong is getting colder and colder day by day in winter.

He Fangxiong was wearing a mink coat to keep out the cold, and he still felt very cold on his head.

"Teng Xiao went south to King Qin, if there is no accident, it should be near Jingshi City now."

He Fangxiong's eyes drifted into the distance, and he began to remember his grandson, who had been forgotten by him. In the past year, this grandson, who was almost ignored by He Fangxiong, has brought too many surprises and accidents to He Fangxiong.

"Where did Liaodong stay well, but I went to Beizhili to go to King Qin." He Mingye didn't understand He Tengxiao's move, in the past three hundred years, the four great families of Liaodong have always kept a certain distance from the imperial court, and the private soldiers of the four great families have never sent troops to the king, and this precedent was finally broken here by He Tengxiao.

The army of the first King Qin of the four great families turned out to be the army of the He family, which He Mingye could never have imagined.

"Mingye, listen to your tone, are you against Teng Xiao's entry into Beijing this time?" He Fangxiong said with a smile.

"The Liao army entered Koubei Zhili, and there was a town army of North Zhili guarding North Zhili, in addition to the town army, there were 200,000 forbidden troops in Jingshi City, and the imperial court didn't boast that the forbidden army was a strong army in the world. Beizhili and Jingshi City are full of battles, how to say that there are about 500,000 troops, plus Peng Chaodong's 100,000 Qin troops back to the division, the total strength of the army is 600,000! The more He Mingye spoke, the more excited he became, "The whole army of 600,000 people, the Liao army mobilized the whole family, how many troops can be mobilized?" He Teng's move to be a diligent king is really a dog taking a mouse and meddling in things. ”

He Tengxiao did not ask He Fangxiong for instructions before making a decision, and only wrote a letter after setting off to inform He Fangxiong of the matter of going south to King Qin. In this way, He Tengxiao still has He Fangxiong, the head of the family, in his eyes?

He Mingye was very unhappy about this. He Tengxiao still looks like a child of the He family?

"Mingye, you are biased." He Fangxiong didn't have any unhappiness, his face was as calm as water, "You know what kind of virtue the Great Zhao Zhenjun is, as for the 200,000 forbidden troops in Jingshi City, the old man will not be much better than the Zhenjun." The army of Beizhili is not the opponent of the Liao army, and the Liao army's entry into the Kou is a big disaster, and Teng Xiao is not nosy. ”

Is He Fangxiong's position very clear this time, standing on He Tengxiao's side.

"The head of the family said this, is he supporting He Tengxiao to go south to King Qin?"

He Mingye was very stunned, He Fangxiong's words were obviously in support of He Tengxiao's southward Qinwang. This is incompatible with He Fangxiong, who used to have more than one thing and one less thing.

He Fangxiong nodded very dryly, and said slowly: "Teng Xiao is not wrong to go south to King Qin, Mingye, have you ever thought that Liaodong once had nearly 200,000 troops from the four major families, and the number of town troops was also above 200,000, how strong the army was, and the strength of the Manshu tribe was only 60,000 or 70,000 when it was just emerging, and the whole clan lacked food and clothing, and iron tools were even scarce. ”

He Mingye recalled the situation when the Manshu people were just emerging, at that time the Manshu people had not yet been unified and were still very weak, and the Manshu people could not get decent military supplies except for horses. In just a few decades, after two generations of efforts, the Manshu people not only unified the Manshu tribe, but also established the Liao Empire based on Liaodong. The rise of the Manshu was too rapid.

"To put it mildly, the Manshu tribe at that time, compared with our He tribe, the strength of the Ju clan was not as good as our He tribe." Speaking of this, He Fangxiong couldn't help but look gloomy, "In the past few decades, the Manshu clan has not only defeated the Liaodong Zhen army, but also defeated the Yu clan, the Wu clan, and the Huang clan that was defeated a few days ago, and the Manshu clan has almost defeated all the forces in Liaodong." The reason for this is that the Liaodong Zhenjun and the four major families fought separately, and each family swept the snow in front of their own doors, so that they could give the Manshu people a chance to defeat them one by one. ”

He Mingye was silent, He Fangxiong's analysis was very right, he witnessed the rise of the Manshu people step by step, and he was very clear about the process of the rise of the Manshu people. He Mingye couldn't refute He Fangxiong.

"First of all, the Wu and Yu tribes sat back and watched the town army outside the border wall of Liaodong not dare, and finally led to the town army outside the border wall of Liaodong being completely annihilated by the Manshu army, and the outside of the border wall of Liaodong has since become the pasture of the Manshu people, and later it is better to do so, the Yu family and the Wu family are still fighting separately." In the end, He Fangxiong said in a concluding tone, "Our He family is now a relatively complete family among the four great families, and the He family must not follow in the footsteps of the other three. ”

He Fangxiong said so much, He Mingye understood a little: "What the head of the family means is that the rise and fall of the imperial court will also have a great impact on the current situation in Liaodong, and the Liao army enters the Central Plains, and the He people can't stay out of it?" ”

The lessons of the major forces in Liaodong fighting separately like a plate of scattered sand and finally giving the Manshu people a chance to rise are summarized to the present. Even the He people can't sit idly by and watch the weakening of the imperial court. If the imperial court prospers, its support for Liaodong will be greater, and the more chance it will eventually destroy the Liao State and recover the lost territory in Liaodong.

On the contrary, if the imperial court is weakened and there is no time to take care of itself, Liaodong will become a burden to the imperial court in the long run, and the imperial court will reach the point where it is overwhelmed, and it is very likely to give up Liaodong and get rid of the burden of Liaodong.

If it really comes to this point, the time for the fall of the He clan is not far off, once the imperial court abandons Liaodong, the He family will be isolated, and the strength of the He clan will resist the power of the Liao clan. This is tantamount to using the mantis arm as a car, and the He people will eventually be crushed by the Liao State in front of the huge state machinery of the Liao State.

A court that is not weak is more in line with the interests of the He people in Liaodong. (To be continued.) )
