Chapter 81: The Conspiracy to Intercept the Flow
Chapter 81: The Conspiracy to Intercept the Flow
After Yan Haiya returned to the Liao military camp outside Phoenix City, Achiller was fully draped, and half of his face was shaved off, looking terrifying.
"Achille, what are you doing here?" Wanyan Haiya called out to Achiller.
Chen Yankai came back after seeing Yan Haiya, as if he had seen a savior, he ran to Wan Yan Haiya in broken steps, and complained to Wan Yan Haiya: "Third Highness, you are back, General Achiller wants to lead troops to attack Phoenix City, and the servants can't persuade him." ”
Chen Yankai is an authentic Chinese Central Plains person, not good at horseback riding, although he has defected to the Liao State in the Manshu era of the Liao State, but after so many years, Chen Yankai only knows how to ride a horse, and his riding skills are mediocre, and it is too difficult for him to accompany Wanyan Haiya to pursue the Zhao army who broke through. So he still chose to sit in the camp.
Chen Yankai is the number one strategist of the Liao State and has the reputation of the Liao State's think tank. But because of his Han background, even if Wanyan Shengcong and Wanyan Haiya value him very much, Chen Yankai's influence in the Manshu clan is very limited, and he can't suppress the high-level relatives and nobles in the Manshu clan. Achiller was one of them, and when Achiller came to his senses, he shouted that he would lead his troops to slaughter the city. After Yan Haiya led the troops to pursue the Zhao army that broke through, the main general was not there, how could Chen Yankai let him be willful? He could only try to persuade Achiller, but Achiller would not buy him, which made him very difficult.
Of course, when Yan Haiya came back, all the problems were solved. Achille, who is a relative of the Manshu tribe, has always been obedient in front of Wanyan Haiya.
"How many times has this king said it, Mr. Chen is the gentleman of this king, and now he is the zaifu of my Da Liao, you are just the king's personal soldier, and the official rank is only a third-grade ginseng, why don't you listen to the advice of Mr. and be presumptuous in front of Mr.?!" Wanyan Haiya's face was clouded.
"Birds! The stinky poor acid is the chief assistant of our Great Liao, and the Han people under the rule of our Great Liao have given him a lot of face, do you still want to manage our old Manshu people? ! "Achiller is outspoken and outspoken.
Chen Yankai was quite embarrassed, although Achiller was outspoken and uncomfortable, but what he said was indeed the psychological words of many Manshu people, especially Manshu nobles. In the Manshu clan, except for the Liao Emperor Wanyan Shengcong, the Fourth Prince's Wanyan Fushen and Wanyan Haiya, who valued him and regarded him as a national scholar, the rest of the Manshu nobles superficially respected him as the Great Liao Zaifu appointed by Wanyan Shengcong, but in private, the Manshu nobles always excluded him.
"Go back!" Wanyan Haiya whipped Achiller fiercely and repelled Achiller.
Achiller retreated, and after Achiller retreated, Chen Yankai bowed deeply to Wanyan Haiya.
"The defenders of Phoenix City are still being picked up by Nanzhao reinforcements to break through, according to Mr. Wang's opinion, what should be the next step?"
Chen Yankai hurriedly returned to Yan Haiya for a salute, he tried repeatedly in Dazhao, and after defecting to the Manshu clan, he was reused by Wanyan Shengcong, and Wanyan Shengcong's father and son had the grace of knowing him. Although Manshu nobles had a cold attitude towards him, in order to repay the kindness of Yan Shengcong's father and son, he did his best to plan for the Manshu people.
"The gains and losses of the First Battle of Phoenix City do not hurt the overall situation, the important thing is to make a forced landing on Goryeo, if you can force land on Goryeo, so that Goryeo is a vassal state of my Great Liao, a Goryeo wealth can be for my Great Liao, temporarily relieve the danger of the emptiness of my Great Liao Treasury; the second can eliminate the danger of my Daliao flank; Goryeo is the number one vassal state of Southern Zhao, and if Goryeo can be subjugated to our Great Liao, it will definitely be able to shake the orthodox status of Southern Zhao. In short, the forced landing in Goryeo is a matter of killing three birds with one stone, and the success of the first battle in Phoenix City is insignificant. Chen Yankai said that the strategy of attacking Phoenix City and forcing the Goryeo State to pay tribute to the Liao State was proposed by Chen Yankai above the Liao State court, and this strategy was in the hands of Yan Shengcong. After years of war, the Liao Treasury was empty, and Wanyan Shengcong did not want to continue to fight with the Zhao army. He needed to enrich the strength of the Liao treasury to prepare for the next military action against Zhao.
"However, this king is really unwilling to let Zhao Jun break through from under my nose!" Wan Yan Haiya smashed his fist on his thigh, unwillingly. Wanyan Haiya has a calmness that is rare among his peers, but when he thinks of the shame of the first battle of Pingshan Fort, Wanyan Haiya always shows unwillingness, which is due to the competitive nature of young people," Achiller said that those Southern Zhao knights who received Phoenix City were the fierce rivals that this king met in Pingshan Fort when he went to the south last year. It's someone from the He family, could it be that someone from the He family is aware of our intentions? This king is now a little wary that the He family will intervene and go out of Goryeo. ”
"The He family must have sensed that my Great Liao would send troops to force a forced landing in Goryeo, but the Third Highness can rest assured that the He family will never send a large army to prevent my Great Liao army from attacking Goryeo." After Chen Yankai defected to the Manshu clan, he has always been very concerned about the four major families in Liaodong, and in order to understand the four major families in Liaodong, Chen Yankai spent a lot of thought to buy the close servants of the brains of the four major families, and sent spies to the four major families, doing everything. In the Battle of Liaoyang, the Manshu army was able to successfully plot against the Yu family and surrender to Liao when the two armies were deadlocked, so that the Liao army successfully took Liaoyang City, and Chen Yankai contributed a lot.
Chen Yankai is very clear about the current situation of the He family, the Xiaocai camp was destroyed, and He Fangxiong lost control of the He family, even though He Fangxiong wanted to transfer the troops of He Shibao in Jinzhou to Goryeo, He Shibao was categorically unwilling to go out to Goryeo to fight against the elite Liao army, so that his strength was damaged. Otherwise, why did it take over the breakthrough of the Phoenix Town Army who were the people of Pingshan Fort in Gaizhou instead of the people of Jinzhou.
Chen Yankai explained his views to Wan Yan Haiya, and after Yan Haiya thought about it, he agreed with Chen Yankai's opinion.
"It is imperative to move eastward to force a landing in Goryeo, and now Phoenix City is already a ripe peach, and you can pick it at any time when you reach out." Wanyan Haiya brought Chen Yankai into the account and asked Chen Yankai, "Sir, with the strength of two thousand people, how long will it take to stop the water of the Caohe River?" ”
"The grass river is just a small river, two thousand young and strong, if it is fast, it will take half a day." Chen Yankai pondered for a moment, gave an answer, and after giving another answer, Chen Yankai had an epiphany, "His Royal Highness wants to block the water of the Grass River, could it be that the He family who broke through Phoenix City came by boat?" ”
"Exactly!" Wanyan Haiya smiled wryly.
As Wanyan Haiya said, Phoenix City is now a ripe peach, and you can pick it with your hand. After the defenders in Phoenix City broke through, Wanyan Haiya did not immediately attack Phoenix City, which was already exhausted, but led the army to cut wood and stone in the Cao River to block the river water in the upper reaches of the Cao River.
This trick cannot be described as not vicious.
