Chapter 83
But Baili Wuji insisted on his opinion. He said: "If the two commanders do not agree to the stationing of the Ming army, I will not send troops north to recover your homeland for you. If you have the strength to recover it yourself, you naturally don't need the help of the Ming Kingdom, but now you have to ask the Ming Kingdom, and this condition is my final bottom line. I can't let the soldiers of the Ming army die in vain for your restoration. ”
The two commanders of Lang Gai and Jurisdiction exchanged glances helplessly, people were under the eaves, and they had to bow their heads, rather than having a country that could not vote and a home that could not return, it was better to agree to the request of the Ming Kingdom, at least, there was a hope of recovering the country.
"Your Majesty of the Ming Kingdom, I don't know how many troops the Ming Kingdom plans to station in Lang Gai and Cans? Who will bear the burden of military spending, etc.? ”
"It is not for me to decide how many troops to station, but for you. As for the military expenses, the Ming army is stationed for you, so naturally it should be borne by the local area. ”
"The number of troops referred to in His Majesty's words is determined by us, what do you mean by that?"
Baili Wuji said: "The number of Ming troops stationed is the same as the number of troops of your two countries, if you have 10,000 soldiers, I will send 10,000, and if there are 100,000, I will send 100,000." Of course, if you don't have a pawn, I don't need to send a Ming army to garrison it. Ha ha....... ”
Baili Wuji smiled and continued: "The cost of the garrison is responsible for the local area, if you are worried about the overburden, then set up less troops, think about it, don't worry." ”
In fact, there is nothing to think about at all, people are killed by swords, I am fish and meat, in the Ming Kingdom, one acre and three points of land, 60,000 people are prisoners and surrendered, not a pre-war uprising, it is good to be able to give a way to live. At least, Baili Wuji did not destroy their country like Yelu Jing, and took hostages to make them cannon fodder.
The two commanders nodded and agreed to the request of the Baili Wuji garrison. It was also agreed that 10% of the annual income would be used as a reimburse for the expenses of the Ming State sending troops to restore the country for them, until the principal and interest were repaid.
The Ming army to the west of Yanyun began to move on a large scale, and the main force was assembled and enriched in the two directions of Tan, Shun, and Jizhou and Luo and Qianerzhou, while the defense of the first line of Yunzhou was handed over to the Zhou army's Chengde Jiedu envoy Wu Xingwen Department, and the defense of Wu and Confucianism was handed over to the two armies of Hu Lang Gai and Juansi.
Baili Wuji is not afraid of the two armies of Lang and Lang and Gas, even if the two states of Wu and Confucianism fall, between the two states and the two states of Shun and Yan. There is also a Great Wall blocking it, and the Ming army is fully capable of launching a counterattack with it.
After a day of intense bloodbath, the war entered a brief stalemate. In fact, the losses of the Liao army were not much, except for the casualties caused by the attack on Ji and the relocation of Erzhou, the others were negligible, and the only loss was the 120,000 troops of the Lang Gai and the jurisdiction of the two states.
Jerejing is having a hard time right now. Just for the Lang reform, the two armies of the jurisdiction of the two armies of Confucianism broke through the city walls of Wu and Confucianism. And celebrated greatly, but the next morning came the "bad news" that the two armies surrendered to the Ming State together.
This made the ministers who originally had dissenting voices in the Dading Mansion no longer care about Yelujing's face, and began to blame each other unscrupulously.
The Liao court originally had two opinions on Yelujing's desperate strategy, but now the contradiction has worsened.
Yelu Jing still insisted on his opinion, as long as he took Yan Yun, a qiē dissent would disappear by itself.
But right now, the 400,000-strong army lost 120,000 in one night. Although the Liao army did not suffer many losses, the two armies of Lang Gai and Gasi returned to the Ming Kingdom. It added 60,000 troops to Yan Yunming's army.
In an instant, forty-five to ten became thirty-three to fifteen, and although the absolute superiority in strength was still maintained, this form could not be continued, otherwise, this sabotage war would evolve into a stalemate and a war of attrition like the Weizhou line in the west. This is what Yelu Jing never wants to see, and Yelu Jing is ready to break the situation in front of him and strike with all his might.
And just when Yelu Jing was about to strike with all his strength, in the west of the Ming Kingdom, north of Chengdu Mansion, Baili Yi immediately ordered the 100,000 new troops of Long, Jian, Ba, and Bi to launch an overwhelming offensive against the Bulb army in the north.
Yun Yang led his troops from the west of Chengdu Mansion and prepared to make a detour to the left side of the Obstruction Army to carry out a joint attack.
The 100,000 new troops, which had placed Baili Wuji's expectations and consumed half of the Ming State's treasury, showed its combat effectiveness.
Although the Divination Army had been on guard before the war, it was attacked by the new army with superior forces and unprepared all-out force, and the front-line Divination Army was not only annihilated, but also had the option of fleeing north.
The commander of the Obstruction Army could only ask for help from the Liao Army on the South Road entrenched in the front line of Cheng and Qin, but almost at the same time, Ningzhou launched a diversion attack on the Liao Army on the first line of Weizhou to the Training Department, Zhao Kuangyin's Department, and the Liao Army on the front line of Weizhou, and the special operations army of Xu Shouren in Pizhou launched an attack on the Liao Army west of Fengxiang Mansion.
Three days later, the 100,000-strong new army crushed the more than 60,000 blockers, and pursued them all the way to the north.
The Obstruction Army finally retreated north to Chengzhou, only to gain a foothold with the support of the Liao Army, and at this time, the remaining strength of the Obstruction Army was less than 40,000 people.
At this point, all the territories occupied by the Ming State have been recovered, and at this time, the Yunyang Division, which was detouring to the northwest, had reached the predetermined position, and turned to the east, and the troops were directed at the Liao army and the Divination army on the front line of Cheng and Qin.
There are Xiang Xun Department and Zhao Kuangyin Department in the east, 100,000 new troops in the south, Yunyang Department in the west, the Liao army and the Obstruction Army have fallen into a situation of being surrounded on three sides, and the only way out is to meet the Liao Army on the North Road to the north or the 50,000 Obstruction Army to the northwest to reinforce it.
After more than a year of war, the 100,000 Liao army on the south road was left with less than 80,000 people, plus less than 40,000 blockade troops, and was surrounded by the 100,000 new army and Yunyang's first army, Xiang Xun's department, and Zhao Kuangyin's 50,000 army, and was about to be destroyed.
The commander of the Liao army, Yeluma, had no choice but to ask Yelujing of Dading Mansion for help.
Half of the true intention of attracting the enemy's main force, concentrating local advantages, and fighting a war of annihilation has already been shown.
……。
When Yelu Jing received the news of Yelu Mo's request for help, he was preparing to launch an all-out blow against Yanzhou, forcibly breaking through Gubeikou, from Danzhou, Shunzhou to Yanzhou, so that even if he could not capture Baili Wuji and Chai Rong alive, he could achieve the goal of dividing the sixteen states of Yanyun, as long as the two emperors retreated, whether it was the Ming army or the Zhou army, they would be wiped out in front of the superior forces of the Liao army.
Yelin Mo's request for help has strengthened Yelujing's determination, and so far, Yelujing has determined that there is no conspiracy in this situation, that is, to find an unequal war, you fight yours, I will fight mine, see who can't withstand it first, see who retreats first.
