Chapter 61: The Wind Blows

Gan Hanjie used too much force, and the dagger was deeply pierced into the chair, and he held the handle of the knife tightly, trying hard to pull the dagger out of the chair, but he couldn't. Gan Hanjie simply gave up the dagger. He pounced on Temu Khan, and his hands were like pincers to hold Temu Khan's throat.

Temu Khan's throat was locked, he couldn't breathe normally, and his face turned purple. Temu Khan endured the pain of being choked in his throat, and groped his hand to the hilt of the knife at his waist, trying to draw the knife to resist.

At this moment, Ah Chi stepped forward with an arrow and stabbed straight down from Gan Hanjie's back. Gan Hanjie spurted out a mouthful of blood, lost consciousness in an instant, and suddenly let go of the hands that were locked in Tiemu Khan's throat.

Temu Khan was dizzy, and he hadn't recovered from the assassination. Apparently, he was greatly frightened by the sudden assassination.

The spine is the key point of the human body, Gan Hanjie was stabbed off by Achi's spine and died very happily, but he still didn't blink his eyes, with a pair of big eyes, as if he was looking at Yang Guochang at the bottom of the stairs.

Yang Guochang looked blank, and his mind was blank. Yang Guochang collapsed to the ground, pointed at Gan Hanjie and scolded; "Gan Hanjie, you are a sinner of Da Zhao! Sinners through the ages! ”

It's a pity that Gan Hanjie will never hear Yang Guochang scolding him.

Temu Khan was in a trance, and the puddles of red blood on the ground, on his clothes, and even on his body made him feel sick.

The chamberlains hurriedly carried Temu Khan into the back tent to rest.

Ah Chena glared angrily, and ordered sharply: "Tear up the letter of parliament and the state of state, and tell the world that I will be inseparable from the Zhao country from now on!" The remaining envoys of Zhao State were shown to the public, and Yang Guochang was cut off and sent back to Zhao! ”

Yang Guochang's eyes were dull, he sat on the ground and didn't move, and the two Meng Gu guards grabbed him and cut off his ears, but he didn't struggle. Let Meng Gu's guards take the boning knife and cut off his ears.

In the summer of the fourteenth year of the Great Zhao Zhenyuan, the secret discussion between the Great Zhao and Menggu broke down, and Menggu issued an edict in the form of an edict on the assassination of the king of Menggu Khan by Zhao Envoy.

The Liao State was overjoyed when he learned of this, and sent an envoy to Chahar Menggu, Chahar Menggu and Manshu Liao State married and formed an alliance, and then the remaining seventeen Menggu tribes such as Mobei Menggu fell to Manshu Liao State. The situation in Liaodong took a sharp turn for the worse again.

Meng Gu's defection to the Liao State was undoubtedly a big earthquake for the major forces in Liaodong.

Thousands of miles away, on the temple of the capital city of the Great Zhao Empire, the secret peace matter caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and the officials of the Qin Party, the officials of the Zhejiang Party, and the Qingliu attacked each other. Some officials in the center of the imperial court have pointed the finger at Peng Chaodong, the governor of Liaodong, and have pointed out that Peng Chaodong has misled the country, and Song Yuren's desk has already had several notes calling for the removal of Peng Chaodong from the post of governor of Liaodong.

The most active in this matter were the Zhejiang party officials headed by Lu Zongcheng. Lu Zongcheng's protégé, Chen Zhecheng, the servant of the ministry, spoke the most fiercely, and Shangshu demanded that a case be filed to severely punish the perpetrators of this peace negotiation. Song Yuren was furious and put Chen Zhecheng, who asked for a case, to prison.

Song Yuren, who was disgraced by the failure of the peace negotiation, was already very upset, he knew that the current situation was dying, and the empire must not file a case to raise a prison again. The Great Zhao Empire can no longer withstand the toss, and filing a case will only damage the country's vitality in vain. Peng Chaodong's post as governor of Liaodong could not be removed, and he also counted on Peng Chaodong to clean up the chaos in Liaodong for him. So far, Song Yuren has not found any senior member of the Great Zhao Imperial Court who has the ability to take over the broken stall of Liaodong. In order to silence the mouths of the Zhejiang party and officials, Song Yuren finally deprived Peng Chaodong of the post of secretary of the military department, retained Peng Chaodong's position as governor of Liaodong, and made a meritorious contribution to the crime.

In the Liaodong Governor's Mansion in Jinzhou City, Liaodong.

Peng Chaodong was lying stiffly on the sickbed, he vomited a few mouthfuls of blood and fainted after learning that the peace with Meng Gu had broken down, and he still hadn't woken up until now. He didn't know that the imperial court had deprived him of his position as the secretary of the military department.

After Peng Chaodong fell ill, Peng Yuqian, the overall situation of Liaodong, took charge on his behalf.

After the breakdown of the peace talks, the pressure on Liaodong's border defense increased sharply. Meng-Liao Alliance, with the support of the Liao State, the Menggu Army, which was beaten down by the Qin Army for a short time, began to be restless and frequently attacked the eastern Liaodong border, while the Liao State continued to increase troops to the Haizhou front. In order to cope with the double pressure of Menggu and Liao, Peng Yuqian deployed heavy troops on the frontier front line to prevent the invasion of Menggu and Liao.

With the support of the Liao State, the Meng Gu organized troops to attack the Beiyuan City, in a vain attempt to loot the tea and cloth hoarded in the Beiyuan City, but the Meng Gu people were bravely resisted by the soldiers and civilians of the Beiyuan City. The attempt of the Meng ancients did not succeed, and they once again retreated to the grassland.

After the retreat of the Meng ancients, the Liao army had no intention of moving south. Liaodong is calm, and the calm makes people feel weird.

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

"Lord Qianhu, the ancient people have retired from the Northern Plains." Ling Feng walked into He Tengxiao's study and reported to He Tengxiao the latest battle situation in Liaodong.

He Tengxiao was reading a book, when he saw Ling Feng walking in, closed the book, walked to the big map hanging on the wall, and looked at the map with his back hand: "The Liao army didn't do anything?" ”

Menggu and Liao formed an alliance, and this matter touched the nerves of all forces in Liaodong, and all forces were very concerned about this matter. He Tengxiao was no exception, and paid special attention to the alliance between Menggu and Liao. The peace talks between Menggu and Zhao broke down and fell in favor of Liao, and the balance of the competition between Zhao and Liao in eastern Liaodong once again tilted in favor of Liao.

Meng Gu and the Liao State formed an alliance, the left wing threat of the Liao State was lifted, and for the Great Zhao Empire, now not only the border pressure on the eastern part of Liaodong has increased, but also the border pressure on the Great Wall of Beizhili has greatly increased. The army responsible for the first-line defense of the Great Wall is the Beizhili Town Army, the North Zhili Town Army is weak in combat effectiveness, and it is more than enough to deal with the disabled Meng Gu, Meng Gu and the Liao State are allied, and the Liao Army will be unimaginable if the fake Dao Meng Gu breaks through the border and goes straight in.

The frontier front of the Great Zhao Empire in the north was defended by relying on the Yanshan and the Great Wall. The whole defense line is very long, starting from Haimen Pass in the east and ending in Ganzhou in the west, stretching for more than 10,000 miles. An important flaw caused by the long defense line is that the troops on the defense line are weak, and the Great Zhao Empire can only be at some key passes. The city is heavily defended, and it is almost impossible to take care of the entire defense line.

"The Liao army is just Chen Chong's troops on the front line of Haizhou, but the strange thing is that the Meng ancients are fighting in the northern plains, but the Liao army in Haizhou has not moved at all." Ling Feng pointed to Haizhou on the map and said.

This map was drawn by He Tengxiao for more than a month by combining the geographical knowledge of later generations and the oral description of the geography of Liaodong by the scouts. The accuracy of this map is naturally not as accurate as the satellite maps of later generations, but in this time and space, this map can be regarded as extremely accurate.

He Tengxiao always felt that something was wrong, Chen Chongbing of the Liao Army did not move on the front line of Haizhou, where would the goal of the Liao Army be this time?

He Tengxiao's gaze wandered off the map, stopping in front of several castles on the eastern border of eastern Liaodong. He Tengxiao focused his attention on these castles, which were built with Phoenix City as the center and along the Grass River. The location of Phoenix City is roughly equivalent to that of Phoenix City in later generations. The Grass River and the Big Worm River are the Dangjiang River in later generations, which belongs to a tributary of the Yalu River and flows into the lower reaches of the Yalu River.

The castles centered on Phoenix City were the remnants of the Great Zhao in Liaodong, which separated the Liao Kingdom from the Goryeo Kingdom east of the Yalu River. He Tengxiao's attention shifted to the eastern kingdom of Goryeo, and a terrible idea came to his mind: the Liao army's Chen soldiers in Haizhou were just an illusion, just to confuse the Zhao army, and the real intention of the Liao army was in Goryeo. The next step of the Liao army is likely to be a surprise attack on Phoenix City, and then cross the river and force land in Goryeo! In one fell swoop, the threat of Phoenix and Goryeo to the right wing of the Liao State was cut off.

He Tengxiao was suddenly frightened, once the Liao army cut off the threat of the two wings, there would be no force that could restrain the Liao army's iron hooves to move south. Once the Liao army was forced to land in Goryeo, the Liao army could requisition all resources such as manpower, material resources, and financial resources from Goryeo to serve the Liao state. The war potential of the Liao State will be greatly enhanced.

In the two battles of Liaoyang and Yingzhou, the Liao army won a great victory, and the reason why it was unable to further expand the results of the war was that in addition to the Qin army's exit from the customs, there was a more important reason that the Liao State had limited war potential and insufficient national strength. At the time of launching the two wars of Liaoyang and Yingzhou, the Manshu people were almost out, and these two wars almost exhausted the national strength of the Liao State, and the treasury of the Liao State was empty, and the Liao army began to have a phenomenon of poor logistics.

Although Wanyan Shengcong sent tens of thousands of southern troops to conquer Gaizhou at that time, due to poor logistics, the Liao army was unable to exert its ideal combat effectiveness. Coupled with the desperate resistance of the Hejia defenders, the Liao army fell on the road south, and finally gave up the south after the Qin army left the pass and withdrew to Liaoyang. If the forced landing on Korea is successful, the Liao State will be able to directly extract the resources of North Korea to serve the Liao army's southward movement, and the situation in Liaodong will no longer be an endgame and chaos. It's a crisis!

"It is very likely that the Liao army intends to Phoenix City and Goryeo this time." He Tengxiao tapped his finger on the small dot in Phoenix City on the map, "The Liao army's Chen Bing Haizhou line is just an illusion, covering people's eyes and ears, the Liao army is likely to attack Goryeo this time." ”

"This" After He Tengxiao said his idea, Ling Feng's eyes widened, He Tengxiao's idea was completely reasonable, the Manshu tribe had fought many surprise attacks since its prosperity. The Liao army fought a beautiful surprise attack on Sahan, a military town outside the eastern border wall of Liao, and the surprise attack on Goryeo was in line with the combat style of the Liao army.

"Immediately leave a letter to the Governor's Mansion and explain the matter to Peng Chaodong." He Tengxiao instructed Ling Feng, "Prepare the horse, I'll go to Fuzhou." ”

"But we are not in a position to submit letters to the Governor's Palace." Ling Feng said that the great Zhao Chongwen suppressed the military, and the status of the military attache was low, only the military attaché above the battalion general could submit the letter to the Governor's Palace, and the military attache below the battalion general level needed to forward the letter to the battalion general, and then the battalion general would forward it to the governor, "Is it not to transfer the letter to General He, and General He will forward it to the Governor's Palace?" ”

"I'll do it right away, I'll go to Fuzhou immediately." He Teng hurriedly walked out of the house and got on the horse, galloping towards Fuzhou.
