The Khitan army came faster than Song Jiu thought.

The Khitan has two important places, one is Yanyun, the first most expensive of the various Khitan ethnic groups is the Khitan and the Xi people, and the second most expensive is the Han people, not that the Liao State is good to the Han people, but it is inseparable from the food and economy of Yanyun. This is like the Northern Wei Dynasty, maybe they look down on the Han people, but if they want to rule the Central Plains, they have to lead the Han people.

Then there is the coastal area of eastern Liaodong.

Although Chukyo and Kamikyo are important, they do not have many products.

The Liaohe River basin is the core area.

Xianzhou is already located in the upper reaches of the Liao River, and Tokyo is only a blink of an eye.

As soon as Liaodong is shaken, and the south is fighting a tragic battle with the Song Dynasty, then the entire Liao State may collapse.

So the Khitan sent Yelu Awuli to lead the army, Xiao Qinde was the capital, and Yelu Mo only stayed in Tokyo, with 10,000 regular troops, as well as some Bohai soldiers and Han soldiers from Liaodong, about 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses, known as 100,000, and pounced on Xianzhou.

When Song Jiu asked Wu Xuanming to send an envoy to surrender and pay tribute, he secretly authorized the envoy to inquire about the Khitan intelligence.

This opportunity is rare.

Hearing a lot of Khitan news, it seems that this Yelu Aweili and Xiao Qinde are two brave generals, as for Yelu Mo, it is only an old friend, although he has not fought each other, but he once fought as a subordinate of Yelu Sha in the White Horse Mountain, so that Guo Jin was killed very badly, and then followed Yelu Huge in Youzhou, only to make a meritorious contribution and forgive his sins.

It should be that the three generals can handle it.

But Song Jiu was not afraid, what he was afraid of was Yelu Hugo and Yelu Xuan, if these two people came alone, Song Jiu would have a headache.

The Liao army was killed under the city of Xianzhou.

Xianzhou City has not yet had time to be built, but the site chosen by Song Jiu. All refer to the demonstration of the original Taiyuan City of the Northern Han Dynasty, near the water and leaning on the mountain. The terrain is treacherous.

The new Xianzhou was expanded on the original Xianzhou city, leaning on the Wushan Mountain in the southeast. It was built next to the Heiliao River on the west side. After all the construction of the plains was completed, and the foothills had not yet been built, they sent people to lay down the fence, and countless deer and horses were arranged on the fence, and deep trenches were dug in front of it for defense.

The three main generals of the Liao State were stunned at first, could it be that the barbaric Jurchens have opened their minds?

However, they had sufficient troops, and the city had not been built, so they launched the siege order as soon as they set up a large camp.

At this time, there were not many troops in the city. Along the way to the south, although there were sacrifices, some soldiers were recruited, and at the same time, some of the original troops from the two states were recruited, and in fact, the troops going south at this time not only did not decrease, but expanded to more than 16,000 people.

However, Song Jiu didn't know where to get 10,000 soldiers and horses. At this time, there were only 6,000 soldiers and horses in the city, and when they saw the Khitan black oppressive army, many people became frightened and found Song Jiu.

They didn't know the true identity of Song Jiu. But even if you know the Dao, you won't know too much, the reason why it is kept secret is to guard against the Khitan, but these leaders all know that Song Jiu is a big man sent by the Song Dynasty. Help them.

After listening to them, Song Jiu smiled and said, "Come, let me teach you how to defend the city." ”

It wasn't Song Jiu who taught them. Instead, Gao Qiong personally commanded everyone to defend.

A tragic offensive and defensive battle began.

It only took a moment for Jerumo to feel that something was wrong, and that the Jurchens were savage. Therefore, it gave the Khitan a headache, but the Jurchen civilization was backward. is changing from primitive clans to slavery, and there is no decent iron-smelting technology, there are weapons, they are all using their Beizhu, ginseng, raw gold, pine, white hemp seeds and other products to trade with the Liao State or others, where did they come from such advanced weapons.

At that time, it was reflected that it was provided by the Song Dynasty.

However, the three of them were still a little careless, they didn't expect the Song Dynasty to provide such thorough assistance, and even Song Jiu personally came to guide them.

Therefore, it was ordered to continue the storming of Xianzhou City.

……

"It's been three days." Shi Pu said.

The sunset dyed Osan gold, and the southern part of the country was about to bloom in spring, and many sunny places in Osan still had white snow, like strips of jade.

Not far away is the black Liao River, the sound of the waves, the water is turbulent.

Yang Yanyu nodded.

These three days were very critical, the Liao army despised it, came after a long journey, did not have rest, and was in a hurry to attack the city, making Zhao Kuangyi's mistake.

It is also very important for the new Bohai State, the Liao State is not too familiar with siege warfare and defensive warfare, and the Jurchens are even more so, and the three-day offensive and defensive battle is just a great opportunity for actual combat exercises.

Several heavy generals and Wu Xuanming's generals stood up one after another.

The 10,000 soldiers divided into two routes, and took advantage of the bright moon in the first half of March to kill Osan Mountain.

Outside the city, there was no rest.

Song Jiu called the leaders and rewarded more than 600 princes in Wuxuanming, Huanglong Mansion, and the princes were as cheap as cow dung in the northeast in an instant, and if there were more, they would be worthless, but they would be disgusting to the Khitan. The Khitan will inevitably show the map to win over and divide in the future, but will it really be done for their high-ranking officials? It's not about worshipping the third prince and sealing the prince. But now does the three princes of Liaodong work?

But only about two dozen major clan leaders actually entered the core decision-making circle.

Song Jiu invited them and said, "Everyone, tomorrow Tianming will surely win a great victory. ”

"Why?" One of the leaders asked.

Only then did Song Jiu say Ji Lu, and then said: "The army of the Liao State is mainly concentrated in Yanyun, and Liaodong is empty, and this battle will win you precious respite." There are two options, one is to take the city of Tokyo and shake the entire Liaodong. The second is to bring everything that can be brought and all that cannot be brought to be burned out, all the way to Tokyo and Shenzhou, to transfer the people to the rear to the maximum extent, and expand the strength of your various departments. After a few years later, after your strength gradually grew, when our dynasty sent troops to Yanyun, you sent troops to Liaodong again to restore the glory of the Great Bohai State. ”

This is obviously too difficult for these leaders.

Besides, when it comes to a big victory, there are still tens of thousands of Khitan troops outside the city. If you can defeat them, thank goodness, and think about taking Tokyo City.

Wu Xuanming asked, "Song Gong, what do you think?" ”

"The first option is beneficial to our dynasty, you and the Liao country are fighting bloody, and it just so happens that our dynasty can sit on the mountain and watch the tiger. But I don't want that, once you take the city of Tokyo, you will still be the same as before, and you will be defeated in one battle. So I think it's better to go the second option. Also, in the future, you should pay attention to two people, one is Jeruxiu, and the other is Yeluxiu, Yeluxiuge is brave and brave, and almost no one in the world can beat him. Yelu is cunning with soldiers, like a thousand-year-old goblin. If these two come, do not go to war, but defend the city. If the city cannot be defended, they will retreat and die alive, and they will not be able to force themselves into battle. ”

"Okay." Wu Xuanming and Yan Po kept it in mind.

This is Song Jiu's most embarrassing confession.

After this battle, he and Gao Qiong will return to the Central Plains first.

The night is getting darker.

There was a snoring sound in the camp of the Liao army, and after three days of continuous storming, all the soldiers felt tired.

Suddenly, there were countless shouts, and then the fire from behind them burst into the sky.

Yelu Auna and Xiao Qinde hurriedly got up and looked at the direction of the fire, where was the grain and grass stored.

The Khitan people have very little grain and grass in the battle belt, but this time it is helpless, in the early spring, the grass on the banks of the Heiliao River has not yet grown, the war horses have to eat grass, the population is sparse, and a large amount of supplies cannot be obtained, and people have to eat. So I brought some grain and grass with me.

The wind was not very strong this night, but this fire was about to burn, and even if half of the grain and grass were burned, the three armies would be in a hurry.

Jereh Hahaha ordered someone to be sent to put out the fire.

Suddenly, there were bursts of shouting and killing in the distance, and two teams of men and horses, one left and one right, killed the Liao army camp.

"Prepare for war." Jerua didna hurry up and shouted.

But at this time, there were horns and war drums in the city of Xianzhou, and people and horses came out of the city.

When the night was dark, coupled with the burning of grain and grass, I don't know how many enemies were killed in the road, and the entire Liao army camp was in chaos.

Moreover, this 10,000-strong army is waiting for work, and it is an army composed of fierce Jurchens. The Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and more than 10,000 are invincible. That's compared to Wanyan Aguta and Nurhachi, the real Jurchens are not so evil.

But in terms of troops, in the era of cold weapons, there is no doubt that the military branches of the Mongols and the military branches of the Jurchens were very powerful.

More than 10,000 Jurchen warriors were like murderous demon kings, invincible in the camp of the Liao army.

Before dawn, the Liao army began to collapse.

The worst thing is that their enemy is not the Song army, which is mainly infantry, but all cavalry.

Several tiger generals took these Jurchen warriors to chase them all the way to Shenzhou, and the officials of the Liao State in Shenzhou saw that the situation was not good, let go of the city, and fled westward.

In the battle of the Black Liao River, more than 16,000 Liao troops were killed and more than 21,000 Liao troops were captured.

However, the footsteps of the Jurchens did not stop, and then they rushed to Tokyo in the Liao State with nearly 30,000 troops under the reorganized army.

At this time, although the city of Tokyo in Liaoguo was not as tall as Youzhou, it could be regarded as a decent city. At least it is taller and stronger than the Wujak City built by Wu Xuanming in the depths of Liaodong.

However, at this time, the city of Tokyo was empty, and there were still some troops, but they were all brought to the front line, and although it was strong, it became an undefended city. Wu Xuanming entered the city again, and after wantonly plundering, he quickly withdrew to Xianzhou with hundreds of people and property.

The Tokyo area of Liaoguo, which was once one of the most prosperous areas in the entire Khitan, was destroyed in the blink of an eye.

And with these wealth and people, the Jurchen tribes quickly became stronger, and because of the continuous war with the Song Dynasty, the tax increased, which once led to the uprising of the Han soldiers in Shangjing of the Liao State.

The whole country was shocked by the Khitan, and Liao Jingzong hurriedly ordered Youzhou to deploy defenses, retract the main army, and prepare to clean up the rear.

But this will be a tragic offensive and defensive battle, under the guidance of Song Jiu, starting from the line of Xianzhou and Changchun Prefecture, led by several cities, to build a heavy defensive line, no matter whether it is won or lost, the Liao State will have to pay a heavy price.

The terrible Koreans have a keen sense of smell and are ready to move when they hear it.

But that has nothing to do with Song Jiu.

Taking advantage of the chaos in the entire Liaodong, Song Jiu pounced on the sea from Tokyo, Liaoguo, signaled that the ship that had been prepared on the sea came to the sea and picked up Song Jiu and Gao Qiong on the ship.

In April, when the weather was starting to get hot, Song Jiu quietly and Gao Qiong quickly returned to the capital...... (To be continued......)
