Chapter 731: Swords and soldiers meet
readx;
Speaking from the heart, Yelu Gollum is very good, he is using every move to defuse Chen Yuan, at least so far, he is not too afraid of Chen Yuan's military encirclement and suppression. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info If the Song Dynasty was really willing to bear huge losses and fight his 400,000 army, even if he couldn't beat it, he would start to turn around and run now, and the Mongols behind him would not be able to stop him at all.
In terms of economy, caravans have always been mercenary, and those caravans did improve the economy of Liao a lot while helping the Song army spread public opinion.
Moreover, Yelu Gollu has already installed the kind of billboards he learned from the Song Dynasty in the streets and alleys and in every place where people often pass by, and they also imitate the cooking of the Song Dynasty, and use some illustrated paintings to convey his meaning to the people of the Liao Kingdom.
If Chen Yuan only had these means, Yelu Gollum believed that he could resolve it with one move. But when he heard that Xiao Suli had suddenly appeared in the Fengzhou area on the Song-Liao border, and with a group of gangsters who had betrayed the Liao State, they were operating in the area of Fengzhou and Yikun Prefecture with the covert support of the Song army, and they were agitating the Liao masses who were already dissatisfied with him, Yelu Nie was shocked!
Chen Yuan reversed right and wrong, and pushed the disaster brought to the Khitan people by the war launched by the Song Dynasty on his head, and he endured it. Chen Yuan tampered with his letters, and he endured it, and even later Chen Yuan put the more than 100 lives on his head on the border of Liao, and he still endured it.
But this time, when he knew that Xiao Suli's gang had actually returned to Liao, he couldn't bear it anymore! Yelune knew very well that if he still didn't move, not only those who were dissatisfied with him would be encouraged by Xiao Suli, but even those who had always supported him would leave because they were extremely disappointed in their forbearance.
"How many of them are there now?" Jermane put aside the information she had just received, and didn't crumple it in the same anger as the previous ones.
Crumpled it because of anger, and also because he wanted to throw away Chen Yuan's method of provoking him. But this time it was different, this time Chen Yuan really touched the bottom line of Yelu Neghulu, making him realize that forbearance could no longer solve the problem.
"Back to Banzai, there are not many people who participate in them at present, in addition to buying hundreds of horse bandits with money, Xiao Suli still yearns for Banzai in their hearts."
Xiao Bin's answer was very skillful, but Yelu Gollum knew that since Xiao Suli could operate in the Fengzhou area, it meant that the people there were at least now waiting to see the direction of the wind, and the people Xiao Bin said were looking towards themselves because they couldn't see what Xiao Suli could do.
If you ignore this matter, once Xiao Suli makes a storm, he will no longer be able to stop it!
"Destroy them! Go now! "What Yelu Nie said was categorical, Xiao Bin was overjoyed to hear it, the emperor is finally going to do it! Seriously, these generals had been boosted by the victory in the war with the Mongols, and they believed that as long as Yelune was willing to fight with them, there was still hope. Even if you lose, it's much more comfortable than being scolded by people pointing at your backbone every day.
"Yes, the last general will arrange it now."
Yelune thought for a moment: "You must ensure that you can quickly solve these people this time, aren't there only a few hundred of them?" We sent 10,000 soldiers! ”
Xiao Bin nodded, indicating that he understood, and then asked something he didn't understand: "Your Majesty, if Song comes, will we fight or not?" ”
Yelune's eyes were cold: "Fight!" Not only do we have to prepare 10,000 men, but once we find signs of the Song army's intervention, our follow-up troops will immediately rush over. You see, who is better to pacify Xiao Suli this time? ”
Xiao Bin already had a candidate in his heart: "I didn't think that I could send Hedong City to guard Yelu Ning Arc to exterminate the traitors, what do you think?" ”
When Li Yuanhao heard this name, he nodded: "Okay, it's him." ”
Yelu Ning Arc is a veteran of the Liao State, has been guarding the north of the Liao State, last year when the Liao people staged a great rout under the hands of the Song Dynasty, it was he who supported the Mongol attack and helped the Liao State to protect half of the country.
Also, when Yelu Gollum had just returned, and Xiao Dali was holding his grandson in Shangjing to sit in the emperor's position, Yelu Ning Arc did not obey Xiao Dari's instructions, but chose to stand on Yelu Gollum's side, which made Yelu Gollum feel that his loyalty was not a problem.
So the candidate was decided, and a fast horse sent the order to send troops to Yelu Ningarc.
In the face of the Song Dynasty, the biggest advantage of the Liao people is their speed, although the letter of Yelu Nie Gulu has just been sent, and the Song Dynasty's fine work has sent news to Chen Yuan, but after the 10,000 cavalry of the Liao State came, the Song Dynasty's reinforcements were still nowhere to be seen.
Xiao Suli's whole person was anxious like an ant on a hot pot in the not too big state capital of Fengzhou, urging over and over again: "How is it?" Did the army of the Song Dynasty come? ”
The guy who was transformed from a horse bandit leader into the so-called No. 1 general under Xiao Suli was even more anxious than him: "My lord, I have already sent someone to urge!" However, the army of the court in front of me came too violently, I heard that it was Yelu Ning Arc who led the team, this old guy is very difficult, we really can't do it, let's go first, right? ”
He knew in his heart that he was not the opponent of those Liao cavalry at all. Now it is for the sake of Xiao Suli that he can give him the food that he wants to come to the Song Dynasty, if the figure of Yelu Ning Arc appears, it doesn't matter if Xiao Suli leaves or not, it is important to save his life!
One person said the word "go", and the others echoed it, as if retreat was now their only way out.
Of course, Xiao Suli knew that none of these people around him were reliable, and he never counted on them. These people can leave when they say they can go, because Chen Yuan doesn't let them do things. I can't do it, if Chen Yuan doesn't have the intention of letting himself leave in his plan but goes back, he will inevitably be locked up in the future.
But if you don't go, what will you do to fight with Jerod? Leaning on these hundreds of horse bandits around you? That's a joke.
Xiao Suli looked at the people around him, and said very embarrassedly: "Everyone, there is still a day to go from the Yelu Condensation Arc, let's wait for another night, if there is still no news tonight, we will withdraw, how about it?" ”
Everyone glanced at each other, and then nodded: "Okay, just listen to Lord Xiao." ”
Chen Yuan did not let them wait until the next morning, and in the middle of the night, Chen Yuan's envoy came to Fengzhou and told Xiao Suli that he could leave now.
Xiao Suli and the others hurriedly packed up the packages they had prepared long ago and ran away on horseback.
Fengzhou is only more than 300 miles away from Zhongjing, and they are also very fast under the pressure of the Yelu Condensation Arc that has not yet arrived behind, and Xiao Suli stood in front of Chen Yuan after a while.
His expression was a little embarrassed, and he looked at Chen Yuan with a promising look in his eyes: "Master Horse, this time, I made a mess of things." I thought those people would listen to me, as long as I gave them food, they would be willing to help me fight, who knew that the Diao people of Fengzhou did not appreciate it at all, they took my food, but when they heard that the army was coming, they ran faster than me,"
Chen Yuan didn't care at all, and interrupted him with a smile: "You did a good job, at least those people didn't help the Liao people, right?" ”
Xiao Suli hurriedly nodded: "That's right." ”
Chen Yuan came over and said that he pressed on the chair and sat down: "If you don't win a few battles, they won't help you." You can rest assured, I have already reported to the imperial court, asking the imperial court to provide you with some assistance, and in the next month, we will equip you with the weapons of the Song cavalry, and at the same time train your physical fitness and combat methods, so that you can win a battle. ”
Xiao Suli was a little suspicious when he heard him say this, although he had never fought before, but he also knew that after a month of training, these horse bandits could fight the Yelu Condensation Arc? If this is the case, the Song Dynasty will not have to bother to find itself out of such a big matter.
Chen Yuan saw his doubts, and did not explain, and smiled slightly: "You go down, take your rest well, especially those horse bandits, don't think of this place as a place where they can rob." ”
Xiao Suli didn't ask anything anymore, Chen Yuan, who should let him understand, would tell him that there was no need for him to know, and what he couldn't know, since Chen Yuan didn't say it, he wouldn't ask more.
The next month can be said to be a very happy month for these Khitans, they have no training at all.
On the one hand, Chen Yuan reported to Renzong, and at the same time, he also publicized in the newspapers that a group of Khitan "warriors" could not bear the oppression of Yelu Grandlu and rose up to resist, and after a fierce battle, they were outnumbered and finally defeated by Yelu Nie Gollu's army.
Some of those "aspirants" fled to Zhongjing, and Chen Yuan asked Renzong to grant them shelter and help them fight against the brutal and unkind Yelu Nghu.
This news finally weakened the voices of those in the Great Song Dynasty who shouted for Chen Yuan to go back and take his son, and the Han people were very happy that Chen Shimei's attitude was suddenly tough, and at the same time, they were also full of sympathy for these Khitans who dared to resist Yelu Gollum.
There is no problem in the court, this is something that Chen Yuan, Renzong and Xia Zhu have already said.
Chen Yuan is waiting for the Holy Decree, as soon as the Holy Decree arrives, he will immediately bring this game to a new stage.
Just like Di Qing said, it is absolutely impossible to pacify the Liao State without fighting. But how to fight, how to minimize his casualties, and how to allow himself to accept the troops of the Liao State more completely, this is the key to seeing how much technical content Chen Yuan's technical play is.
The 50,000 cavalry under Yang Wenguang are being trained, these people can be said to be the real elite cavalry of the Song Dynasty, they were formed a little earlier, and the last time they participated in the decisive battle with Yelu Hongji's team, they already have experience in large-scale cavalry combat.
And it is also equipped with the best weapons of the Song Dynasty, looking at their galloping figures on horseback, Chen Yuan was very satisfied, and said to Yang Wenguang beside him: "Wenguang, this time you must fight well, and catch that Yelu Condensation Arc for me!" ”
