Chapter 336: Undercurrent (62)
"Keep the remaining territory of eastern Liaodong and hold the key corridor of western Liaoning. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info" He Tengxiao said, "At this time, in the opinion of the minister, the most practical approach at present. β
He Tengxiao said that in his mind, Liao was the most realistic and the best situation. The only thing left of Da Zhao's initiative in Liaodong is the Liaoxi Corridor that Peng Chaodong painstakingly managed.
At this point, He Tengxiao had to admit that Peng Chaodong was one of the few capable people in the Great Zhao Dynasty, and it was a far-sighted move to operate the West Liaoning Corridor to curb the further expansion of the Liao State and protect the Central Plains.
Obviously, Song Yuren supported Peng Chaodong's initiative before, which is also a very wise choice. Song Yuren suddenly asked this question, could it be that Song Yuren was shaken because of the Liao army's breakthrough and siege of Jingshi City this time? He Tengxiao speculated wildly.
"In your opinion, is there really no hope for recovering Liaodong?" Song Yuren said coldly, his tone had already expressed his dissatisfaction, Song Yuren looked like he was eager to recover Liaodong right now, of course this idea is very good, but it is just very unrealistic.
"The minister didn't dare to say anything, but the minister thought that now was not the time to recover Liaodong." He Tengxiao tried his best to be tactful, and Song Yuren was already showing obvious unhappiness.

The heart of the empire, the war in Jingshi City has not yet been extinguished, and the flames of war have been ignited in the northwest of the empire, this time, it is not only Lu Tianhao who has plagued the Great Zhao Imperial Court for nearly twenty years, but also Luo Tengda, the town side general of the Great Zhao Imperial Court, who has been in the northwest for nearly twenty years.
In the winter of the fourteenth year of Zhenyuan, the desperate Luo Tengda was finally forced to a dead end by the bureaucrats in Shanxi, and at the instigation of Qiao Shaoyuan, he took risks and embarked on the road of rebellion.
The stormy Great Zhao Dynasty inadvertently has another strong old enemy.
Qiao Shaoyuan took great pains to plot against Luo Tengda, not only risking his danger to return to Shanxi from outside the Saiwai, but also preparing a lot of materials for Luo Tengda's rebellion.
Luo Tengda's hasty rebellion this time looks a bit premeditated.
In the face of Qiao Shaoyuan's generous funding, Luo Tengda expressed his gratitude, and Luo Tengda now regards Qiao Shaoyuan as a close friend. If it weren't for Qiao Shao who came all the way to "enlighten" him, Luo Tengda might have fulfilled the wishes of the civil officials in Shanxi now, and the civil officials in Shanxi would have died in a black pot. Now Luo Tengda is grateful to Qiao Shaoyuan.
Once Luo Tengda rebelled, the most chaotic place in the empire at the moment was not Zhili in the north of Jingshi City, but Shanxi.
Now the situation in Shanxi can be described as a mess, not only the Liao army under Wan Yanying's command entered Kou Shanxi, but also Luo Tengda's rebel army, as well as the Qinwang army passing through Shanxi and the local garrison in Shanxi.
The Qin army of Shaanxi and the town army of Ganzhou, who arrived in Shanxi, could not help but be shocked after seeing the situation in Shanxi. The generals of the Qin army and the generals of the Ganzhou Zhen army didn't even know what to do after seeing the situation in Shanxi.
The civil officials of Shanxi pleaded bitterly before the generals of the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army, asking the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army to stay in Shanxi to quell the rebellion and defend against the Liao army. Take the current shrimp soldiers and crabs in Shanxi,. It is simply impossible to deal with the current chaos in Shanxi.
The civil officials in Shanxi were completely panicked because of this, and they didn't know what to do. The Qinwang army passing through Shanxi happened to be the two strongest town armies of Da Zhao in the Guannei at present. How could a shrewd Shanxi civil official abandon these town troops. These two elite town armies now seem to be their last straw.
In order to keep these two town armies in Shanxi, the stingy Shanxi officials showed unusual generosity only once, and even did not hesitate to pay out of their own pockets to bribe the generals of the two town armies with heavy money to beg them to stay.
The generals of the Qin army and the Ganzhou Zhen army were naturally not so pure, and the oil level of the military attaches was often not as rich as that of the civilian officials. It was also very touching to make them low-status military attachΓ©s.
Many of the military attaches of the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army have even begun to waver.
The civil officials in Shanxi are fidgeting like ants on a hot pot these days, and they have put down the posture of the official master on weekdays, wandering around the barracks, trying to move the warriors to stay and surround Shanxi.
The governor and governor of Shanxi even went to the barracks of the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army to make an impassioned statement, and after all, all the words were to persuade the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army to stay.
Not all the generals of the Qin army and the Ganzhou Zhen army were fooled by these shrewd Shanxi officials. King Qin is still important to put down the rebellion in Shanxi, and some senior generals of the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army still have a bottom in their hearts.
To put it mildly, the Shaanxi rebellion is their case, and the Shanxi rebellion was not caused by them, even if the center of the court investigates, this account cannot be counted on their heads. And these civil officials in Shanxi are different, such a big thing happened under their rule, and the imperial court would not be able to say anything if they were not held accountable.
What's more, some generals in the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army have heard some rumors, this time the Yanmen Pass guard Luo Tengda took a risk and embarked on the road of no return to rebellion, largely thanks to these civil officials and lords in Shanxi.
After learning this, the Qin army and the Ganzhou town army had a little favor for the civil officials in Shanxi also disappeared.
After Yan Ying's Liao army broke through the Yanmen Pass, with the assistance of his staff Han Zhong, they first went south to take Zhenwuwei (Daizhou), and then detoured south to Ningwuguan after taking Zhenwuwei, always ready to go south.
After the town army in Shanxi heard that the Liao army was coming, they were already panicked, where did they still have the heart to resist? The Shanxi Zhen Army, which was on the front line, had been defeated, and the situation in Shanxi was precarious.
At this time, Luo Tengda's rebellion was tantamount to a bolt from the blue for the civil officials in Shanxi. Luo Tengda can be regarded as one of the most accomplished generals in Shanxi, at least Luo Tengda's Yanmen Pass is the most effective town army in Shanxi.
At this time, the civil officials of Shanxi finally tasted the bitter fruits they had sown. Originally, these local officials in Shanxi dug the corners of Luo Tengda's Yanmen Pass and the soldiers.
The local officials in Shanxi usually looked down on the warriors, and the soldiers at Yanmen Pass naturally did not get any preferential treatment after they arrived in the hands of these civilian officials. In addition, these civil officials reward and punish unfairly on weekdays and do not pay salaries, and these Yanmen Pass soldiers have already held their stomach in their hearts. Like a dry powder keg.
And Luo Tengda's rebellion is the spark that triggered this powder keg! (To be continued.) )
