Chapter 118

Although Baili Wuji was shocked, he was not too flustered, because he thought that Yizhou and Liangzhou were not far away, Yun Yang and the other two departments went north to Lanzhou to meet the Jiaoluo Department first, and then went north to reinforce Liangzhou, if the speed was fast, it would take six or seven days, there were 6,000 Guiyi troops there, Jingqiong should be able to support some days, and the risk should not be too great.

But Baili Wuji did not expect that the army of 50,000 reinforcements would meet with the remnants of more than 30,000 escapes, so Baili Wuji could not predict the danger in Hexi.

The other messenger brought good news, good news that cheered up all the generals of the new army, and also made Baili Wuji forget about Hexi's worries.

This messenger came from Shangjing, and naturally it could not be Yelu Jing, but it was sent by Yelu Tira. The messenger brought his secret letter, which said that Jeruzara had been persuaded by him that the iron cavalry would stay between Yikun and Longhua and would not go south, and that if the Ming army occupied Dadingfu, he hoped not to attack northward, especially not to cross the Huang River, so as not to directly confront Jeruzala's iron cavalry.

At the same time, Yelu Tira said that there will be no more reinforcements in Shangjing to go south to reinforce Dadingfu, and after the Ming army conquers Dadingfu, he will gather a group of courtiers to make suggestions to Yelujing, advocating the second peace talks between Ming and Liao, hoping that Baili Wuji can give support.

Seeing this news, Baili Wuji already understood that Dading Mansion was already a dish in his hands, and how to solve the more than 60,000 Liao troops in the city was a matter for himself.

And the peace talks proposed by Yelutira are also in line with the meaning of a hundred miles of unscrupulous, and the Liao State lost the Zhongjing Dading Mansion and the Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion, which was like having its arms cut off. Even though it has a vast land to the north, it is not strong enough to go south.

The Ming State did not have the strength to swallow these lands, nor did it have the ability to take care of the tens of millions of subjects of the Liao State. Therefore, the armistice and peace talks are also Baili Wuji's wish, taking advantage of the time after the armistice, Baili Wuji wants to completely solve the obstruction, and strategically, completely isolate the Liao State, so that the Liao State will henceforth . Caught in civil strife and unable to extricate himself.

However, Baili Wuji did not intend to occupy only Dading Mansion, his idea was to expand the border of the Ming Kingdom to Huanghe. It is ruled across the river from Liao, which means that the future border between Ming and Liao should be on the line of Yikun, Longhua and Tongzhou.

In this way, the Ming State had sufficient depth to guard against the sudden attack of the Liao State, and more importantly, it was connected with Goryeo. As a result, there is a second channel for the connection with Dongying. This made it possible for the Ming Kingdom to dump a large number of goods on Goryeo and Dongying by land in the future.

With these two dumping grounds, the post-war recovery and development of the Ming Kingdom will become rapid and simple, and today's Ming State does not worry about not being able to produce things, but surplus productivity, which cannot be seen in the war, once the armistice, a large number of materials will be piled up, and there is an urgent need for several dumping sites.

Two days later. In the west, the Ministry of Culture and Culture of Wuxing and the Ministry of Lang Reform and the Ministry of Gas, and the Ministry of Chen Yanzheng in the east successively arrived outside the Dading Mansion. It formed a three-sided encirclement of Dading Mansion.

The Liao army of Dading Mansion has already felt the end coming. Three times a day, he sent messengers to Shangjing to ask for help, but he didn't want to, all the letters were gone like mud cows into the sea, and there was no more information, in fact, these letters asking for help were all withheld by Jelutira in the Privy Council.

On the first day of October, the three-way army, totaling more than 200,000 people, launched a general attack on Dadingfu from three directions.

After a day and a night of fighting, the defenders of Dadingfu suffered heavy casualties, and finally, the new army outside the south gate took the lead in blasting successfully and rushed into the city.

The Liao army finally began to rout, and the remnants fled north.

Bailiyi immediately ordered the new army to abandon the remnants of the enemy in the city, hand it over to the east and west to clean up, and personally led the new army to pursue the Liao army that fled to the north.

Along the way, annihilated a part of the Liao army that fled north until the south bank of the Huang River.

Here, Bailiyi finally met the Iron Cavalry, whom he had always feared, and his wife, Jeruzala, whom he had been worried about.

Jeruzarat stopped on the south bank of the Huang River with mixed feelings.

According to Yelutira's confession, she led the iron cavalry to stop on the south bank of the Huang River, not only to prevent the Ming army from going north, but also to intercept the Liao army fleeing north from Dadingfu.

This interception heralded the annihilation of the defenders of Dadingfu, and also indicated that Jeruzara had truly walked out of the road of treason.

With such mixed feelings, the new army and the iron cavalry encountered on the south bank of the Huang River.

More than 100,000 troops confronted each other two miles apart, and the commanders of the two armies turned out to be husband and wife.

Bailiyi has already received Baili Wuji's promise, as long as Jeruzara does not take the initiative to attack, then Bailiyi will naturally not give the order to attack.

And Jeruzara has come to this point, and the only hope is a family reunion, so naturally he will not take the initiative to attack.

So, after a short confrontation, the two armies watched each other and set up camp on the south bank of the Huang River.

Hundred lili and Jeruzarat were close at hand, but they were as far away as the horizon. The two could not openly visit each other, which was bound to cause confusion between the two armies, especially the iron cavalry.

The iron cavalry is loyal to the Khitan royal family, not referring to the current Liao emperor Yelu Jing, it is guarding the Khitan royal family. When Jeruzarat took over the iron cavalry from Tiyin Jerodya, the iron cavalry was loyal to Jeruzara.

Yelu Sara is the daughter of Yelu Ruan of Liao Shizong, and at the same time controls the tribe of Yelu House, and has a unique voice among the tribes of Liao.

But if she really had a private meeting with Baili Yi in front of the two armies, Jeruzara didn't know what would happen to the iron cavalry.

Although the generals under her command are basically loyal to her, the fact that the iron cavalry can obey her orders to intercept the rout of Dadingfu fleeing north does not mean that they can accept her to surrender to the Ming Kingdom, and Jeruzara naturally does not dare to take this risk.

And Baili Yi on the side of the new army is different, he got the promise of Baili Wuji, and naturally dared to meet with Jeruzara in private, but this is only in private, not in full view, he is far inferior to Jeruzala's ability to control his subordinates, and there are naturally many generals like Ding Sijin in the new army.

In desperation, Baili Yi had no choice but to send his guards to Baili Wuji for help, hoping to get his help.

Baili Wuji, who was pacifying the various tribes in Dading Mansion, knew in his heart what was going on when he learned that Jeruzala's iron cavalry was blocking south of the Huang River. Although Yelu Tira surrendered to the Ming State, he was still loyal to the interests of the Khitan people after all, and he disintegrated the strength of the Liao State according to the instructions of Baili Wuji, and on the other hand, he made Yelu Sara block the bank of the Huang River.

However, Baili Wuji is not surprised, as long as the national strength of the Liao State declines and no longer becomes a sharp sword on the head of the Central Plains, the rest can be discussed.

Besides, as long as Yelutira is still concerned about the interests of the Khitan tribe, it will become his weakness, and those who have weaknesses will naturally not care too much. (To be continued......)
