"That's the thing, the Liao State was defeated, 200,000 soldiers, 500,000 people, dead and wounded, Yelu Yanxi fled for more than 400 miles in one day and one night, and after Yan Agu couldn't catch up, he began to sweep the Tokyo Road of Liao. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Aguta's eldest son, Hu Ben and Gao Yongchang, joined forces to break Xiao Xie Fuliu's 50,000 army, and the last force of the Liao State in this battle has also collapsed...... Your Royal Highness, there is no news yet! ”

Suzhou of the Liao State, that is, Dalian of the later generation, Ye Chu reported the news he had just received to Zhou Quan.

Under the cover of Yu Liyan, Zhou Quan has been doing well in Liaodong in recent years, although he is not as well-informed as in the Great Song Dynasty, but the basic information of this war has still been collected.

However, at this time, nearly ten days had passed since the fiasco of Yelu Yanxi, and Ye Chu had only gotten some lagging news.

"It's rubbish." Zhou Quan muttered.

Ye Chu was slightly stunned, but saw Zhou Quan and said, "It's not about you, it's about my emperor's father-in-law!" ”

Although everyone knows the relationship between Zhou Quan and Yu Liyan, this is the first time that he calls Yelu Yanxi "the old man".

Ye Chu laughed three times, and stopped talking.

"If you have something to say, say it!" Zhou Quan, who was not in a happy mood, said.

"Her Royal Highness Princess...... It's the Khitans. Ye Chu pondered for a while, but still said directly.

This is one of their great scruples.

Zhou Quan explicitly forbade them to marry a woman of different races as their main wives, so is Yu Liyan considered an alien?

Zhou Quan patted his head with his hand, when he established this rule, he didn't think much about it, but now it seems that he is really cocooning himself.

"Don't worry about this matter for now, tell me, what Gao Yongchang has done!" Zhou Quan diverted the topic.

"Drive out the Han and Khitan!" Ye Chu's expression was solemn.

The reason for Gao Yongchang's uprising was the contradiction between the Han people and the Bohai people in the original Bohai homeland. For a long time, the Liao State ruled the Bohai homeland, using the Bohai people to suppress the Han people, or using the Han people to contain the Bohai people, resulting in many contradictions between the Han and the Bohai Sea. Yelu Yanxi recruited the Jurchens and transferred a large number of troops from Liaoyang, and a Han boy took the opportunity to break into the Liaoyang Ya and beat the Bohai officials who stayed behind.

This incident made Gao Yongchang see the weakness of the Liao State, although he was only a general, but he still had 3,000 Bohai soldiers in his hands, so he invaded Tokyo Liaoyang to start an incident, proclaimed himself emperor, established the name of Dayuan, wantonly slaughtered and drove away the Han and Khitan people in Liaoyang, and at the same time summoned the remnants of the Bohai Sea everywhere.

In a short period of time, his subordinates gathered 8,000 Bohai youths, and the price of obtaining the support of these people was the blood and lives of the Han and Khitan around Liaoyang.

"This dog thief should be cut with a thousand cuts!" Hearing this news, Zhou Quan was furious.

He already regarded the Han people in Liaodong as something in his pocket, that is, the Khitans, and if he had a relationship with Yu Liyan, he could also recruit them to work for him. Zhou Quan was convinced that if he used all kinds of means, as long as there were two generations at most, there would be no Khitan tribe - only one branch of the Han nationality.

"Da Lang, the whole army has landed!" Li Bao trotted over and reported to Zhou Quanyu.

Zhou Quan turned around, and behind him, on the humble dock in Suzhou, there were six square military formations, which were eye-catching!

Each phalanx is 600 people, which is the "first battalion" of the Donghae Chamber of Commerce, and the six phalanxes, that is, 3,600 people, mobilized more than half of the forces on Jeju Island, and at the same time, on Jeju Island, militia regiments are also conscripted to defend to replenish possible battle losses at any time.

In the distance, a group of Liao officials were shivering.

When this fleet landed, they thought it was the Song people who came to attack it.

"Brother Jerryma!" Zhou Quan shouted.

Yelu Mago did not go north with Yu Liyan, but was sent to Suzhou by Yu Liyan, just in case.

He ran out of this group of Liao officials, and when he came to Zhou Quan, he knelt down on one knee: "Donkey! ”

Regardless of whether others recognize it or not, or even whether the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi recognizes it or not, he Yelu Ma Ge has recognized it, and the one in front of him is the husband of the princess of Shu and the concubine of Da Liao.

"You led your headquarters north, and asked for supplies along the way, hot food, hot water, medicine, horses, camels and donkeys!"

Yelu Ma Ge was an official of the Liao State, and he had Yu Liyan's warrant and the invited Yelu Yanxi military plate, so he left in response.

"Li Bao!" Zhou Quan said again.

"In!" Li Bao stepped forward and stood solemn.

"The whole army rests, buries the pot and cooks, sleeps after half an hour, and leaves after four hours!" Zhou Quan said.

Although he was anxious to know Yu Liyan's safety, the three thousand six hundred men who had come by boat, all exhausted by the drifting and crowding of the sea, had thrown them into a hasty march at once, which was obviously not conducive to battle.

"Yes!" Li Bao answered, waved his palms and eyebrows, made a guard salute of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and then ran away quickly. A moment later, on a high ground, a trumpeter blew a small trumpet, and the rhythmic sound of the trumpet spread the order to rest throughout the army.

"Ye Chu!" Zhou Quan looked at Ye Chu again, and seeing that Ye Chu was also standing upright, he said in a low voice: "Two things, one is to find out where Yu Liyan is now, and the other is to mobilize all forces, just say that the Jurchens want to slaughter the Han people in Liaodi and let the Han people move south!" ”

Ye Chu nodded knowingly, but Wu Yang beside Zhou Quan frowned: "What does Da Lang mean by this, could it be that he is not ready to occupy Liaodong?" ”

He thought so in his heart, but he didn't say it in his mouth. It doesn't matter if you have questions about asking Zhou Quan behind your back, but at this time, Zhou Quan is giving military orders, so it's not appropriate for him to interject indiscriminately.

Zhou Quan looked at Zhang Shun and said in a slightly slower tone: "Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry for you to work hard, take the three ships Xuanniao, Xuanwu, and Qinglong, and go north along the coast, near Chenzhou on the chart, there is the mouth of the Liao River, you can wait there, ready to respond!" You are the hardest, please Uncle Zhang ......"

"If you're polite, don't say it, Da Lang, when I'm the same as Ye Chu and Li Bao!" Zhang Shun laughed twice: "There is only one thing, Da Lang, can I use that?" ”

Seeing a smile on Zhou Quan's originally serious face, he was a little embarrassed: "Holding such a heavy weapon in your hand, you don't have to use it all at once, it's really ......."

"If necessary, I will allow you to use artillery!" Zhou Quan affirmed his proposal, but his eyes couldn't help but aim at the harbor.

The three ships of Xuanniao, Xuanwu and Qinglong are the three warships built by the Haizhou Shipyard, and their speed is not as fast as that of the Blue Bird, and the loading capacity is not as good as that of special transport ships, but they are the kings of the sea in this era.

Because they are all gunboats!

Xuanniao is the first gunboat, the ship carries eight bronze guns, one at the bow and one at the end, three in each of the two rows of hull, placed in the sail era, this can only be regarded as a small gunboat, but its cause, for Haizhou shipyard is an epoch-making progress, because of the recoil of the gun, the structure of the gunboat, and the structure of the general sea ship is very different!

The two Xuanwu and Qinglong, which were improved on the basis of the Xuanniao, not only had larger hulls, but also increased the number of artillery pieces to 16. When these three ships lined up and fired at the same time, it was so powerful that no fleet could compete with it, at least in this era.

In order to ensure that the fleet was in his own hands, Zhou Quan relieved Zhang Shun of his position in the shipyard, let Lin Nianzu replace him, and appointed him as the governor of the fleet of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce, and Zhang Shun's liking for gunboats also outweighed his interest in navigation itself.

After Zhang Shun left, Wu Yang hesitated slightly: "Da Lang, why don't you occupy Liaodong?" ”

He felt that since Zhou Quan came here with his troops, it was impossible to spit out the fat that reached his mouth, which was not in line with Zhou Quan's habits.

"The time is not yet ripe, we have too few people, if we don't mobilize, we only have 4,000 people, and the 3,000 Koreans, who can be auxiliaries, are actually about the same as our militia groups, and they may not be loyal, they can only be used against the Japanese or the natives who are begging. With such a small number of troops, we still have to stay in Jeju and open up the flow of ...... If I occupy Liaodong, Liao, Jurchen, Goryeo, and the Great Song Dynasty are all enemies of the four countries, on the contrary, I only need people, not land, and the four countries can still tolerate it. Besides, Liaodong I took away, Liao wants to go back, how can I do it without taking some benefits? For example, this Suzhou can be a concession! Zhou Quan pointed to the ground under his feet and smiled slightly.

Wu Yang immediately understood what he meant.

As long as there is a concession in Suzhou, an opening has been opened, and the power of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce will infiltrate Liaodong, and in the future, when its own strength is greater, will it be difficult to take Liaodong again?

"It's still Da Lang's foresight, and now I can't help Da Lang much." Wu Yang was silent for a while.

"Why can't I help, with Uncle Wu by my side, I'm not afraid of thousands of troops, but what...... Uncle Wu, you also have to prepare to start a family, don't be left behind by my nephew. ”

Wu Yang suddenly blushed.

Zhou Quan looked up at the north, the preparations he had made now had been completed, and he only hoped that Yu Liyan could have a tacit understanding with him, and according to his original plan, he would go south and get out of the Liaodong Peninsula.

Hopefully, she'll make it until her reinforcements arrive.

"After this battle, I want to marry Yu Liyan, whether it is a wife or not, I will snatch people away first, whether it is the Jurchens, the Bohai people, or the old fool of Yelu Yanxi, they don't want to stop me!" Zhou Quan muttered.

"After this battle, I want to marry Zhou Quan, no matter what the difference between Khitan and Han people, and whether I have a name or not!" In Shenzhou City, facing the gathered Khitan battalion and Goryeo battalion sergeants, Yu Liyan said loudly.

At this moment, she put aside all the shyness of the girl.

The sergeants of the Khitan battalion and the Goryeo battalion who were summoned by Yelubulu and Cui Yongzhu did not expect that Yu Liyan would tell them about this matter at this critical juncture.

But this matter, which seemed to have nothing to do with the resolution of the current crisis, made the people in the Khitan camp and the Goryeo camp stunned for a moment, and couldn't help cheering!

Although everyone knew that Zhou Quan and Yu Liyan were in love, to be honest, neither the Khitans nor the Koreans thought that the two of them could get married.

After all, the identities of the two are there.

Therefore, the Khitan battalion still felt that they were serving the princess of Da Liao, and the Goryeo people regarded themselves as mercenaries.

Yu Liyan declared in public that he wanted to marry Zhou Quan, and the nature of the matter was completely different.

They are no longer fighting for the princess of Liao, but for Zhou Quan! (To be continued.) )
