Chapter 182: Adventure Island Gambling (Part II)

"Since our original strategy against Zhao has reached an impasse and we have been unable to open the situation from the He family for a long time, we don't have to hold on to the incompleteness, we can deal with Zhao in another way." Wanyan Haiya met Wanyan Shengcong's eyes and said his thoughts, and he strongly supported the strategy of the Liao Military Mansion to enter the customs.

If the Manshu people want to complete the great cause that their ancestors have not completed, entering the customs is a road that must be taken. Although the purpose of this entry was mainly to plunder, there was no intention to occupy the Zhao city in the Beizhi area for a long time. However, this is indeed a stone throwing to ask for directions, and find out the reality of Zhao Guo.

For a long time, the Liao's knowledge of the Zhao was limited to the eastern Liaodong region, where they often operated. The Manshu people did not know much about the defense of the Zhao State outside of Liaodong, and the Guannai region was full of mystery to the Liao people. And this entry can also enable the Manshu people to get close to the Zhao Empire and unravel this veil of mystery.

Of course, the real purpose is not to unveil this almost mysterious veil, but to understand the reality of Zhao, so as to formulate a more reasonable strategy against Zhao according to reality. Liao has always been worried about whether he has the ability to eat the behemoth of Zhao State.

"The minister was born in Zhao State, he knows Zhao State very well, Zhao State's elite are concentrated in the northern border towns, and the Liaodong region has gathered almost all the elite soldiers and strong generals of Zhao State, Rao is so, Zhao Army is still not the opponent of my Great Liao Army. The army in the hinterland of Zhao is not worth mentioning! The minions also asked the emperor to make up his mind to break through the border and enter the customs! ”

Chen Yankai said to Wanyan Shengcong in an almost encouraging tone. When discussing this matter in private, Wan Yan Shengcong has always supported his bold strategy, but today, when it was really discussed to put the strategy of this big war into practice, Wan Yan Shengcong hesitated.

Chen Yankai knows his master's temperament very well, and knows why Wan Yan Shengcong hesitated: Wan Yan Shengcong couldn't make a risky gamble with the fate of nearly one million people in the entire Manshu tribe for a while, and the pressure and questions that Wan Yan Shengcong had to face to make a big decision were too great.

Until it succeeds, the old people of the Manshu tribe will not approve of this bold strategy. On the other hand, it is impossible to say whether this strategy is a successful strategy without the implementation of this great war strategy.

Chen Yankai wanted to push Yan Shengcong and force Yan Shengcong to make a final decision.

"Lord Zaifu still remembers that he is a Zhao person." Wan Yanying sneered, "Since you are a Zhao person, you don't care about the future of the Manshu tribe, because you are a Zhao person, and the Manshu tribe wins, you will continue to be the chief assistant of the Great Liao State, and if you are defeated, you can go back to your Zhao State to be your Zhao State subject." No matter whether the Liao Kingdom rises or falls, it is you who will benefit! Chen Yankai! ”

Wan Yanying competed against each other, and the spearhead was directed at Chen Yankai. Chen Yankai's identity as a Zhao person has always been the reason why his position in Liao has always been embarrassing.

"The loyalty of the slave can be learned from the sky, and I hope the emperor will see it!" Chen Yankai hurriedly knelt down to defend himself, what he was most worried about was that Wanyan Shengcong was suspicious of him. Everything Chen Yankai has comes from Wanyan Shengcong, Wanyan Shengcong can give him all this, and his retribution is because Wanyan Shengcong trusts him. Once Wanyan Shengcong no longer trusts him, then everything that is said to him, Wanyan Shengcong can also take it back.

In order to display his lifelong talent, Chen Yankai betrayed his clan and treason, and had given up everything in Zhao State, and his reputation in Zhao State could no longer stink. There is no turning back at all, as Wan Yanying said. I'm afraid that if he returns to Zhao and hasn't been arrested, Zhao Ren's saliva can enter and drown him alive.

Thinking of this, Chen Yankai couldn't help but shudder.

"Alright." Wan Yan Shengcong said that the atmosphere in the venue was becoming more and more tense, and Wan Yan Ying's words to Chen Chen Yankai were full of a strong smell of gunpowder. Point all the fingers at Chen Yankai.

Obviously, Wan Yan Ying opposes this risky approach, and Wan Yan Ying's opinion represents the opinion of most people in the Manshu tribe.

The Liao State has not yet completely completed the transformation from a tribal to a monarchical state. The old clan of the Liao State still has a lot of influence in the clan, and sometimes it can even influence Yan Shengcong's decision.

Wanyan Shengcong had to take into account the attitude of the inner clan of the Manshu clan.

The facts are in front of Wanyan Shengcong, Chen Yankai and Wanyan Haiya are right, the war in Zhao Liao has fallen into a stalemate situation that the Liao State is most unwilling to see, and the Liao State wants to take a step further, and it is very difficult to capture the city and pond of the Zhao army, and it seems that it is powerless.

The stalemate between the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, and the Liao State seemed to be pressing on the Zhao army step by step, gaining the upper hand. In fact, it is not the case that the stalemate often determines the success or failure of the Liao army, but the backing of the war: the national strength of the two countries! In the stalemate of the battle, the consumption of supplies at the end of the battle was extremely large, and the daily consumption of materials was an astronomical amount. This battle is not about combat effectiveness, but about logistics.

For example, Haizhou City is the city with the largest number of troops deployed in Liao except Liaoyang City. For no other reason, Haizhou City is located on the front line, the front line of the stalemate between the two sides, Zhao State is in Yingzhou and Gaizhou, and Liao State is in Haizhou City.

If there is no forced landing in Goryeo, the grain and grass materials looted from Goryeo will be scavenged to fill the bottomless pit on the front line of Haeju City. It's hard to imagine how a tribe with a population of nearly a million and a nascent empire built on ruins could sustain this protracted tug-of-war.

Thinking of the forced landing in Goryeo, Wanyan Shengcong's eyes suddenly lit up. The proposal to make a forced landing on Goryeo was also put forward by Chen Yankai at the beginning, and the result was not much different from Chen Yankai's expectation, except for He Tengxiao's appearance in Phoenix City halfway was an unexpected episode of the Liao army, the Liao army still occupied Phoenix City very smoothly and crossed the river and forced to land in Goryeo.

With 3,000 people, it is not a risk to make a forced landing in a country with 200,000 troops and 10 million people! Didn't they succeed in the end! The Goryeo Kingdom was not a vassal state of the Zhao State to the first vassal state of the Great Liao State!

Since the 3,000-strong forced landing of Goryeo was able to win at the beginning, why did the 200,000-strong army hesitate to break through the border now!

"I think what Zaisuke and the Third Prince said is very reasonable." Wanyan Shengcong, who had been silent for a long time, finally showed his attitude, and said in a loud voice, "I have decided to break the border!" ”

Wan Yanying was suddenly startled, so frightened that she almost fell, and said with wide eyes: "Your Majesty, no...... No...... No, no. ”

Wan Yanying was a little incoherent, but his attitude was still clear: he was against military operations that risked breaking the border. However, this was only his last struggle, trying to persuade Yan Shengcong to take back his life.

"Why?" Wanyan Shengcong said coldly.

"The army poured out, and the hinterland of my Great Liao Kingdom must be empty. In case the Zhao army in Liaodong takes the opportunity to go north, I am afraid that Liaoyang will not be protected, and the Great Liao Kingdom will not be protected! (To be continued.) )
