Chapter 183: The Storm Outside the Fortress (1)

Wan Yanying's idea is very old-fashioned, but I have to admit that there is indeed such a hidden danger.

In case the Zhao army came to encircle Wei and save Zhao, everything the Liao army had done would be wasted.

Chen Yankai didn't care at all, Wan Yanying and these Manshu people didn't know about Da Zhao's court, he was very clear about Da Zhao's court. Peng Chaodong would never lead the Qin army north to save Zhao from the siege of Wei.

Once the Liao army surrounded Jingshi City, the first thing Peng Chaodong had to do was to run a long distance back to Jingshi City Qin Wang. Emperor Zhao is guilty of misconduct, and he can't afford it.

Peng Chaodong is the main force and backbone of Liaodong's resistance to Liao. Peng Chaodong returned to Beijing to study King Qin, and the only thing left in Liaodong was the defeat of the Huang, He, and Wu tribes.

If the three clans can join forces, it will still be a great potential threat to the Liao State. In fact, among the three ethnic groups, except for the He and Wu ethnic groups, who can barely join forces, the Huang nationality will never join forces with the He nationality to resist Liao. The war did not spread to Jinzhou City, and Huang Yongtao was happy to be his Taiping King and would not meddle in his affairs.

The civil strife of the He tribe has just ended, and it needs time to breathe, and the Wu tribe has experienced a great war, and it is said that now the whole clan has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses. Even if these two clans join forces, they can only protect themselves at most, where can they have the energy to go north to fight a tough battle!

Now is the best time for the Liao army to break the border! If the opportunity is missed, it will not come again. The so-called opportunity must not be lost, and this is the case when it is lost.

"The Qin Party and the Zhejiang Party are incompatible, and Peng Chaodong will never go north!" Chen Yankai asserted with certainty.

"The fourth brother is sitting in Liaoyang, and this time I am going south! I also want to see how beautiful the rivers and mountains of this Great Zhao are. Wanyan Shengcong laughed and said, he had already figured it out and was relieved, since the monarch had spoken so clearly and resolutely, it was inconvenient for the courtiers below to say anything more.

――――――

The line of the Liao army to break the border has been drawn up clearly. For this operation, Wanyan Shengcong and Chen Yankai Junchen can be said to be deliberate. Most of the secret agents of the Liao State walked around for this operation, and operated in the border fortress of the Zhao army of the Great Wall generation.

The blessing of Topeng Chaodong, the enemies that the Great Wall Zhao army has to guard against are mainly the Meng Gu tribe, the Meng Gu tribe has been disabled by Peng Chaodong, and it looks lifeless, and it can't make any waves. The garrison of the Great Wall generation is still very relaxed and does not have a lot of pressure.

At most, they are only out of the jam to beat the Meng Gu rangers, and every time they go out, they can carry a few heads of the Meng Gu Sentinel back, which is already a great merit. Of course, many of the heads of these so-called "Menggu Sentinel Riders" are not the real heads of the Menggu Sentinel Cavalry, but the heads of the barbarian herdsmen of the Border Cypriots.

Anyway, Da Zhao has never been serious about this kind of combat exploits of several levels and dozens of levels, as long as you don't do too much, the top will turn a blind eye.

After too much lightness, there was laxity, and the originally scattered Changcheng army had no big enemy, no great pressure, and was very lax in the defense of the border. Liao's spies were even able to move around Zhao's military fortresses at will. It was easy to obtain the deployment of the Zhao army's forces and the defense of the border fortress.

Qiao Shaoyuan provided great help to the Liao army. The accurate castle fortress and troop deployment map along the Great Wall of the Great Zhao State provided by Qiao Shaoyuan to the Liao State was the intelligence basis for this Liao army's operation. The information provided by Qiao Shaoyuan was even more accurate than the intelligence information obtained by the secret agents of the Liao State.

If it were simply the strength of Liao, it would be impossible to implement this bold strategy. Coincidentally, the Liao State has formed an alliance with the Menggu tribe, and the loose Menggu tribe does not obey anyone. In particular, the two largest Menggu tribes in Mobei Menggu and Chahar Menggu have been fighting to the death for the name of the Great Khan of Menggu all year round. The intervention of the powerful Manshu tribe played the role of mediating the relationship between the Menggu tribes.

Now that Menggu and Liao have formed an alliance, Liao wants to break the border and bypass the Liaoxi Corridor and Haimen Pass to enter Beizhili, and taking advantage of Menggu is the only choice for Liao. The Menggu tribe, as allies, was naturally obliged to provide a way for the Liao State to advance.

The route of the long-planned Liao State has been drawn up, and the Liao State itself has sent 200,000 troops this time, which is almost the limit of the troops that can be mobilized within the Manshu tribe.

The 200,000 soldiers were divided into two or three routes, one way broke through the border into the Zunhua area, and the other road opened a gap from the Gubeikou and Xifengkou of the Great Wall to enter Beizhili. In the end, the two armies met near Jingshi City and joined forces to besiege Jingshi City. As for the rest of the way, it is to enter Shanxi to plunder, and do not participate in the siege of Jingshi City.

After Yan Shengcong made up his mind, the huge war machine of the Liao State stepped up its operation. Speed up the pace of preparation for the south, and strive to be able to go to Beizhili in Nanzhao in the winter of this year to enjoy the snow scene in the hinterland of the Central Plains.

Qiao Shaoyuan was not idle, and took the initiative to play the role of the mediator of this operation, encouraging the Menggu tribe to also participate in this border breaking. More people have great strength, and more people are always good, and the Liao State also hopes to tie the Menggu tribe and the Liao State tightly together. Of course, this operation must not pull the Meng ancients.

Although Meng Gu is at the end of the road, it is still possible to piece together hundreds of thousands of stragglers, plus hundreds of thousands of stragglers of the Meng Gu people. The number of people entering the border will suddenly increase to nearly 400,000, or at least on a terrifying scale.

In the past 300 years, there has never been a time when the number of foreigners entering the customs has exceeded 300,000. The invasion of a large number of alien soldiers and horses will give this dying empire a great shock.

The Jin merchants monopolized most of the trade in the northern border towns, and the salt and iron tools of the Menggu tribe were provided by the Qiao Shaoyuan family. When the Meng people were still in the Yellow River Hetao area and were not driven to Mobei Chahar, the Qiao family did business with the Meng people, mainly in the salt and iron business. This kind of head-killing business, except for powerful businessmen like the Qiao family, ordinary businessmen dare not do it.

The imperial court is most taboo to smuggle salt and iron to foreign races, once you are caught, you don't have to be tried, you can directly correct the law on the spot.

Speaking of which, the Qiao family and the Menggu tribe are also old acquaintances.

Qiao Shaoyuan's identity is a lobbyist, but Qiao Shaoyuan still came to the Menggu tribe in the name of providing salt and iron to the Menggu tribe.

Temu Khan and Achina warmly received the old friend.

Qiao Shaoyuan provided a large amount of iron to the Meng Guren this time, more than the previous year. Unlike before, this time, Qiao Shaoyuan directly provided Meng Gu with a large number of = Da Zhao standard weapons, instead of iron materials.

Temu Khan's sense of smell was very keen, and the large amount of iron material provided by Qiao Shaoyuan also explained his intention. The Liao State had already confided in him the rumors, and the Liao State was about to move before, and Tiemu Khan had already noticed it, but Tiemu Khan did not expect that the pace of the Liao State would be so fast.

"Great Khan!" Qiao Shaoyuan has been running between various tribes all year round, and he is familiar with the etiquette of various tribes, and skillfully performed a Meng Gu ceremony to Tiemu Khan, which looks even more cute than the Meng Gu.
