Chapter One Hundred and Nine

Xiang Xun has always been loyal to Chai Rong, and now that all the lost lands of the Zhou State have been recovered, without Chai Rong's order, he does not dare to chase north without authorization. Xiang Xun persuaded Zhao Kuangyin to report to the emperor before making plans, but Zhao Kuangyin refused.

Zhao Kuangyin expressed his apologies for not intercepting the enemy, and seeing that Xiang Xun did not mean to go north with him, he decided to lead his troops to pursue and make up for his mistakes, hoping that Xiang Xun could explain his intentions to the emperor and ask the emperor for his guilt.

Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin have always had a good relationship, and after fighting side by side several times, they didn't doubt it, so they had to nod and agree.

So, at the foot of Shizhu Mountain, Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin parted ways, Xiang Xun led the troops to withdraw to Lingzhou to wait for Chai Rong's order, while Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to the northern desert to pursue Yelin Mo.

At this point, the situation began to develop unexpectedly, and it is no longer the history that Baili Wuji knows.

Zhao Kuangyin's abnormal move, although he preserved his military power, but he let go of Yelima only more than 20,000 Liao troops and 10,000 remnants of the obstruction, how could he catch up, once he escaped, the endless desert in the north, there was nowhere to pursue.

However, Yelima did not retreat in the direction of Liao, but chose an unexpected direction, which added too much trouble to Baili Wuji and Mingguo.

And Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that there was no impermeable wall, although the forbidden army he led had gone through two years of war, many generals were like-minded with him and had become his henchmen, but after all, it was Chai Rong's forbidden army, Zhao Kuangyin naturally didn't expect that when the Liao army messenger came, the first forbidden army scout he encountered. has quietly escaped when Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin met.

On the way north of Zhao Kuangyin, although he received a report, he was marching in such a foreign land. It's normal for a scout to go missing, and any attack by enemy civilians or other accidents will lead to the disappearance, so I didn't take it to heart, but let people search within three miles, and if they didn't see anyone, it would be over.

……。

Yelu Jing fled back to Shangjing with his thousands of palace guards and Yelu Tira's 30,000 tribal army.

He was greeted by an invisible but palpable accusation.

And Yelujing obviously didn't care about this, the first thing he did when he arrived in Beijing was to order a nationwide conscription. Since then, the Liao State has entered a state of all-out war.

This has attracted a voice of opposition from the government and the opposition of the Liao State, and the Liao State has already conscripted soldiers once in the two years of war. And 380,000 people were conscripted in one go. And this time, Yelu Jing's will is that all men over the age of thirteen and under the age of forty are among the conscriptions, and the leaders of the various tribes are extremely resentful in their hearts, this is to kill all the men of all races?

Yelu Jing also felt this wave of opposition from within the Liao State. But his response was. He ordered 70,000 leather room troops to take over the city defense of Shangjing, ordered his 30,000 palace tent army to take over the defense of the inner city, and ordered Jeruzara's 30,000 iron cavalry to move outside Shangjing to be responsible for the defense of the outer city.

At the same time, he decreed that the king of the Northern Courtyard, Yelutira, was awarded the post of generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses. Although this official is a temporary position, his power is quite large, and he can govern the Privy Council in the north and south of the Liao State, and command the soldiers and horses of the Han and Khitan ethnic groups throughout the country. In addition to the emperor's palace tent army, even the leather room army is also under his control.

Yelu Jing was in chaos at this time. I wanted to hand over this position to Jeruzara, but he was suspicious of Jeruzara, so he had to hand over this important position to Jerutira, who had "the grace to save him".

It was also at this time that the news of the invasion of the Goryeo army spread from Liaoyang Mansion to Shangjing, and Yelu Jing, who had not had time to catch his breath, had no choice but to order Yelu Tira to be responsible for the rescue of Liaoyang Mansion in the east.

In the name of scheduling, he inadvertently delayed the dispatch of troops for a day, and then ordered 30,000 leather room troops to reinforce Liaoyang Mansion from Shangjing.

Just as the 30,000 leather room army was preparing to set off, the rout of Liaoyang Mansion brought the news of the fall of Liaoyang Mansion.

This news caused a shock to the government and the opposition of the Liao State, and Liaoyang Mansion, as the Tokyo of the Liao State, has an important status.

As a result, the hearts of the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, which had already begun to split, gathered again and formed a front of common hatred and hatred. The Liao court unanimously issued a conscription order, and Yelu Jing's conscription order was quickly carried out, and at the same time, Yelu Jing instructed Yelu Tira to quickly recover Liaoyang Prefecture.

This time, Yelutira didn't dare to play any more tricks, and quickly ordered the 30,000 leather room troops who were waiting to be sent to stay temporarily, and sent another 20,000 leather room troops, totaling 50,000 people, to march to Liaoyang Mansion.

The forces in Shangjing began to emptiness, and only 20,000 Pi Room troops, 30,000 palace guards, and 30,000 iron cavalry stationed outside the city remained. Yelu Jing was uneasy, but the conscription had just begun, so he began to mobilize the Liao army, which was scattered in the northern states, to assemble in Shangjing.

Yelu Jing ordered the 70,000 Liao troops stationed on the banks of the Yuqu River to guard against the Lang Gai, and 60,000 to the south of Yikun Prefecture south of Shangjing, and Gong to guard Shangjing; The 50,000 Liao troops stationed in Huanglongfu to deter the Tatar tribe were ordered to go to Longhua Prefecture south of the Huang River to prevent the Goryeo army from taking the opportunity to attack Shangjing.

The Liao State moved to the state through Yanyun in a battle, and the troops fell into a vacuum, and Yelu Jing was already a little flustered, with a headache and a sore foot. Although his mobilization caused the forces around Shangjing to swell instantly, it also caused hidden dangers that should not be underestimated, and the five tribes of Kaiali, Pennuli, Orami, Yueli Du, and Yueliji (Heishui Jian, that is, the Jurchen tribes in the future) east of Huanglong Mansion have since lost the deterrence of the Khitan army, so the dark tide has begun.

Without waiting for Yelu Jing to relax, the fleet led by Peng Xiao bombarded Jinzhou with artillery, and after that, 20,000 musketeers immediately landed, easily wiped out the 5,000 Liao troops stationed in Jinzhou, and occupied the city of Jinzhou.

Coincidentally, Chen Yanzheng led his troops to attack Laizhou, and the Liao army stationed in Laizhou was a 5,000-strong Han army.

The Zhou army's military and cultural departments met with the 60,000 troops of the Guanjia and Hulanggai, and the more than 80,000 troops had arrived at the predetermined position in the west of Dadingfu to carry out rectification and preparation for the attack on Dadingfu.

At this point, the three-sided encirclement of Dading Mansion was formed.

The news that Dading Mansion was in danger reached Shangjing, causing the Liao Imperial Court, which had just recovered its morale, to be in chaos again. The Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo has been lost, and if the Zhongjing Dading Mansion is lost again, then Shangjing will lose two barriers, and there is nothing to defend.

However, the troops in Shangjing were already stretched, and the mobilized two-way army was still on the way, so Yelu Jing could only order Yelu Tira to reinforce Dading Mansion with 20,000 leather room troops and meet the 30,000 garrisons of Dading Mansion, thinking that he could hold on for some time and wait for the arrival of the mobilized two-way army.
