Nanjing, also known as Yanjing, is now in turmoil. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

For the Liao State, the Jin State is a big trouble, although Yelu Yanxi was annoyed and angry, and Xiao Fengxian was anxious to take the opportunity to sweep away all the external support of the King of Jin, but when Yelu Yu took refuge in the Jin State, the Jin State took the opportunity to harass Shangjing and made a posture of attacking, Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Fengxian had to transfer the main force of the leather room army to Shangjing Road, ready to deal with the Jin people.

But they didn't want to let go of Concubine Wen and Yu Liyan, and they couldn't tolerate it, Wuqing, a place that was extremely rich in Liao, continued to be in the hands of Yu Liyan's cronies.

Therefore, since the leather room army is not used, then the Fanhan army under the jurisdiction of the Marshal of Nanjing will be used. The military system of the Liao State was very complex, including the elite of the Khitans such as the Pi Room Army, the frontier Xiangwen Division composed of other ethnic groups, and the forbidden army, the Jiezhen soldiers and the township soldiers of the Han prefectures and counties in the south.

This crusade against Wuqing, a total of about 100,000 soldiers of all ethnic groups of the Fan Han clan in Nanjing Dao were gathered, although Nanjing Dao still had spare strength, but in order to prevent the Song State from taking the opportunity to advance north, this was already the largest number of troops that could be drawn.

Yelu monk Nu followed behind Yelu Chun and pouted disdainfully: "These Han soldiers, they just can't do it." ”

Yeluchun snorted in a muffled voice, but did not respond.

He is the cousin of Yelu Yanxi of Liao, and when he returned to Liao during civil strife, the rebel party secretly plotted to support him as emperor, and one of the important members was his son. Afterwards, although he was innocent because he did not know it, and he did not cut the title, but the lord of Liao gradually became estranged, and his favor was not as good as in the past, so his status in the country became bad.

But fortunately, Concubine Wen and Yu Liyan "rebelled" and wanted to crusade against the "rebellion", and the Liao lord thought of him, the imperial uncle who had been in Nanjing for many years, and reactivated him and made him a marshal.

But Ye Luchun knows very well that this battle may not be easy to fight.

The problem is not that the enemy is strong, but that the number of troops in his hands, 100,000 seems to be a lot, and Yu Liyan's personal guards are no more than 3,000, and thirty to one is considered more than less. However, among his 100,000 troops, only more than 20,000 people can be regarded as elite, and the rest are just town guards and township soldiers who are requisitioned.

What's more......

Ye Luchun glanced at the person beside him, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiao Sixian!

This upside-down guy, after the Japanese messed things up, with the power of his sister and brother, found another opportunity to revive and was sent to Yeluchun's side.

Ye Luchun is really tired of this guy, but he treats his guilty body and is not easy to refuse, so he can only let this guy be irritable in his ears.

But there are also a group of stupid people who look at the Great Song Dynasty with old eyes, such as Yelu and Shangnu, who actually think that what Xiao Si said first is right!

"King Wei, the soldiers are fast, like us, when will we be able to arrive in Wuqing, when will we be able to catch Xiao Sese's stinky girls, and Yu Liyan's slut who eats inside and out! If you think you need to be steady, I am willing to lead an army as the vanguard......"

Sure enough, Xiao Sixian began to urge again.

Yeluchun smiled reluctantly: "It's better to be cautious, Brother Yeluma is not worried, Concubine Wen and the princess of Shu are women after all, but on Wuqing's side, there are Zhou Quan's people!" Uncle Guo, there are some things that I can't rush ......"

"It's because of Zhou Quan's house, so it's fast, I know very well, as long as the Wuqing port is destroyed, although Zhou Quan's sailors are sharp and the guns on the ship can't land, he can't help us!"

Xiao Sixian was full of confidence, he had fought with Zhou Quan more than once, and he only felt that he had enough experience.

Unfortunately, what he didn't think about was that all he had was enough experience of failure.

No matter how anxious Xiao Sixian was to fight, but Ye Luchun just didn't give him a chance, and he was helpless. But at this time, there was a message that helped him.

"Brother Yelu Ma led a thousand troops and attacked the stone city?"

This news was completely unexpected by Yeluchun, and it also made him realize that Zhou Quan's reinforcements might have arrived, otherwise Yeluma would not dare to do this!

"Yes, he played the banner of Concubine Wen and the princess of Shu, saying that His Majesty was held hostage by the traitor Xiao Fengxian, and he could no longer be a director, so he used Concubine Wen and the princess of Shu to supervise the country and clear the monarch's side. Reputedly...... Concubine Wen also came to Shicheng in person, saying yes, saying yes......"

"Speak straight, don't hide it!" Ye Luchun glanced at Xiao Sixian beside him, because the military attache who came to report always aimed at this guy when he spoke.

"They also said that the Xiao family brothers intended to depose the Son of Heaven and take the King of Qin as the emperor, and then sent troops on a large scale to fight with the Jin, saying that Nanjing Dao wanted to levy 500,000 soldiers and another million people!"

"Ridiculous, nonsense, this is slander!" Xiao Si jumped up first.

Of course, this is nonsense, but the common people may not think it is nonsense!

Ye Luchun's brows suddenly furrowed, and his face became even more gloomy.

The 100,000 horses in his hands this time have already been pieced together, and there are only more than 3 million registered people in the entire Nanjing Dao, and it is absolutely impossible to make up 500,000 soldiers, even 100,000 soldiers, and it is already a lot of effort.

But the people didn't know, they only knew that the imperial court had levied military service, and the rumors released by Wuqing happened to correspond to the fact that the imperial court had levied military service.

The next thing must be panic, I am afraid that the entire Nanjing Road will be shaken.

"Let's go and inquire if there are other rumors in Nanjing Road!" He ordered in a deep voice.

In less than two days, more news came, and as he expected, Nanjing Road was full of rumors.

In addition to the kind of conscription of hundreds of thousands, there are also those who want to jointly attack Liao by the Jin State and the Song State, and there are those who lose the Son of Heaven and Germany will be in chaos...... All these rumors have one thing in common, in the end, they all say that the only way to avoid this difficulty is to go to Wuqing.

"To Wuqing, Tu Anning, have food to eat, don't worry!"

When this nursery rhyme also reached Yeluchun's ears, he could no longer sit still, because he was good at reading Han books, and he knew very well how much role these nursery rhymes played in the change of dynasty.

And Xiao Sixian repeatedly urged, and even asked him if he intended to join Concubine Wen.

In November of the second year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Yeluchun personally supervised the army and approached Wuqing.

When the army marched, it encountered fleeing people from time to time on the way, and the target of these people was Wuqing without exception.

On weekdays, it is a wild farmland, but now there are few people, and often there are few people left in the entire village, which makes Ye Luchun even more shocked. Today, the wealth of the Liao State depends on the input from Japan, and the second is on the trade between Nanjing Province and the Song people, but the grain is mainly supplied by Nanjing Road. No matter what the outcome of this battle is, there will be problems with the grain in Nanking Road next year, and the trade routes will be cut off when the war is a big war, and the income from the transaction in the city will inevitably drop sharply.

This discovery made Ye Luchun even more worried, and also confirmed that he wanted to solve it quickly!

"Even I didn't know that the power of the East China Sea Chamber of Commerce had penetrated so deeply in Nanjing Dao!"

Zhou Quan rode a horse, surrounded by a group of guards, climbed on the post, looked at the crowd below, and glanced back at Ye Chu with a smile.

"It's still the prince who is right, our original plan was indeed too conservative, so it seems that the goal of 300,000 people can indeed be achieved."

Zhou Quan smiled and nodded.

Yelu Mago only brought a thousand people and captured Shicheng, which had a surprising effect in it, and there was also a reason why the hearts of the Liao people were lost. He collected the original defenders in Shicheng, and then drove all the people who could be found around Shicheng, regardless of Hanfan, south to Wuqing. According to his report, the number must be about 30,000.

Disturbed by the rumors spread by the Donghai Chamber of Commerce, and shocked by the large-scale conscription of Nanjing Dao, the people who fled to Wuqing from Gu'an, Yongqing, Anci, Suncun and other counties southeast of Yanjing have been thousands in the past few days!

After several years of operation, through Wuqing's Rongcheng, the Donghai Chamber of Commerce has infiltrated into various counties and townships around Yanjing, and they have spread rumors together, and the effect is surprisingly good. As Yu Liyan's fief over the years, Wuqing has received strong support from Zhou Quan, so the living standards of the people in Wuqing are a little higher than those around, which also makes people follow.

"Therefore, in order to be able to receive the population in peace, we must fight hard, not only to beat Ye Luchun badly, but also to cut off most of the 100,000 people he has pieced together - these are all young and strong, all laborers!"

When Zhou Quan said this, his saliva almost came out.

Half of these 100,000 young men can be left behind, which is 50,000 people, which is much more than the 30,000 people that Yelu Margo took great efforts to get. And they are all gathered together, and there is no need to mobilize and drive them from village to village, which saves time and effort!

Speaking of this, Zhou Quan looked at Ye Chu: "I'm right here, attracting Ye Luchun's main force, are you sure?" ”

"How is it not sure?" Ye Chu smiled: "The prince just rest assured!" ”

"Let's go!" Zhou Quan ordered.

Following his order, Ye Chu saluted, squeezed his eyes at Li Bao, and then led Song Xingfeng and the others, with about five thousand men and horses, and quickly headed to the northeast.

Bai Xianfeng looked around, there were still more than 3,000 people left, and they were leading the people to build a fortress.

Among these people, there should be a detailed work planted by the Liao State, and they will report the truth to Yeluchun as soon as possible.

Sure enough, the news that Ye Chu led 5,000 people to leave had already reached the Liao camp in just two days.

Although Yeluchun's army attacked, but he was cautious, the march was slow, and the advance was only thirty miles a day, which made Xiao Sixian, who was eager to make meritorious contributions, like fire, he stared at the news brought by the scouts every day, and when he learned that Zhou Quan had divided his troops in all directions, plundered the people, and only had more than 3,000 people left in his hands, he could no longer hold back, and came to Yeluchun again.

"King Wei, there are only 3,000 people around Zhou Quan, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, this guy has won many battles, and he is so arrogant that he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead! Now I understand that he didn't come here for Yu Liyan at all, he just wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in our Great Liao to loot the population, just like he did in Liaodong! ”

"He's got a cannon!" Ye Luchun was still very calm, and he didn't wait for Xiao Si to finish speaking first and then blocked back.

"What about the cannon, he only has 3,000 people, and he is far away from the city, only relying on the fortress to defend, his most powerful is the cannon on the ship, this fortress is far from the sea, the cannon on the ship can not be supported, King Wei, the opportunity must not be lost!" Xiao Sixian almost cried. (To be continued.) )
