Chapter 67

Without any extra politeness, the three of them began to coordinate the dispatch of the army and the tasks of each person.

Baili Yi first conveyed Baili Wuji's combat intentions.

Baili Wuji wanted to attack from the north from the four directions of Long, Jian, Ba, and Bi after the Yanyun battlefield started, with the new army of Baili Yi as the main attack; At the same time, Ma Jiyun was ordered to garrison Chengdu to suppress the Baili Yi Department; ordered Yunyang to go west to the territory of Tubo, then go north, go around to the north of Qinzhou, and attack the left flank of the Bu army from the east of Chengzhou; Then he ordered Xu Shouren's special combat army of Pizhou to go south out of Qianzhou, bypass the Liao army on the southern route that confronted the Zhou army, and attack the blocking army from the southwest.

In this way, the Divination Army, which has only more than 60,000 people left, will be caught off guard. Baili Wuji attacked more than 60,000 obstruction troops with a three-way army of 180,000 troops, and there was only one reason, that is, to annihilate the obstruction army entrenched in the land of the Ming State before the arrival of 50,000 reinforcements, so as to force the 50,000 obstruction army to retreat and achieve the goal of weakening the Liao State.

As long as there is no obstruction army, then the Liao State will face the resistance of the Ming and Zhou countries alone, and it can be dragged to death if it is not killed. This is Baili Wuji's strategic arrangement for the Chengdu battlefield.

After listening to Bailiyi's will, Yun Yang immediately handed over the affairs of Chengdu with Ma Jiyun, and after that, the first army of the rectification moved closer to Longzhou, waiting for news from Yan Yun.

Bailiyi began to prepare for the northern attack, and ordered Ding Sijing's New Army First Army to leave Longzhou and attack north from the confluence of Baishui and Qiangshui; Guo Tingwei's Second Army went out of Jianmen to attack north along the Jialing River, and joined the First Army of Ding Sijing's New Army in Chengzhou, and after that, the two armies formed the Western Route Army to advance to Weishui. Attack Qinzhou together. ordered Zheng Yanhua's Third Army to attack Jizhou from the north of Bazhou to Xingyuanfu; Zhou Baozhong's Fourth Army was ordered to attack Yuanzhou in the north, and then turned west. Together with Zheng Yanhua's Third Army at Xingyuan Mansion, they formed the Eastern Route Army to attack Fengzhou. In the end, the eastern and western armies went all the way to the northeast and all the way to the northwest, and attacked the enemy army west of Fengxiang Mansion with Xu Shouren's special combat army in three directions, so as to achieve the strategic goal of completely annihilating and blocking the Bu army.

For a time, the land of Kyushu was full of wolf smoke and war horses.

The Ming court also recruited more than 500,000 people for transportation. But unlike the Liao State, the Ming State government was paid to recruit at the same time. Xu Shiming came up with a brilliant idea and sent an order to the yamen of all states and counties to announce to the world the materials transported by any traders. All of them were acquired by Chengdu Mansion and Yanyun Government at a price exceeding the market price by one percent. Xu Shiming set up special acquisition points in these two places, and sent a large number of students to enrich the science.

This order made the Ming merchants devote themselves to this unprecedented transportation war with unprecedented enthusiasm, including traders from various tribes in Hexi, and even merchants from Tubo, Liao, and Zhubu countries.

The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. No matter which country the merchants are, in the eyes of the merchants, they can make profits and make the most profits. It's good business.

As a result, the mountains of strategic materials from the Ming Kingdom and its surrounding areas quickly concentrated to Chengdu Mansion and Yanyun. The sheer volume and speed are breathtaking.

Before Baili Wuji set off to the north, he issued an edict to Pan Chongche, the pacification envoy of Jiaozhou County, to raise all the grain and grass materials from the official warehouse of Jiaozhou County to be transported to Jinling Mansion, and then transferred Chengdu Mansion and Yanyun from Jinling Mansion. He also issued an edict to Queen Jeongheon of Goryeo and Toyotomi Shixu of Dongying, ordering Toyotomi Shixu to raise 20 million catties of grain, and then Li Jianxun, the governor of the Dongying Army, transferred 30,000 people from the 50,000 garrisons to escort grain and materials to Kaegyon, Goryeo; ordered the queen of Goryeo to raise 10 million catties of grain and hoard it in Xijing (Pyongyang) with the goods from Dongying; He ordered Bai Likang, the governor of the Goryeo Army, to combine the 50,000 Goryeo garrison with Li Jianxun's 30,000 troops stationed in Dongying to form the Liao Expedition Army, and appointed Bai Likang as the marshal of the Liao Army and Li Jianxun as the deputy marshal, stationed in Xijing, and waited for follow-up orders.

At this stage, the second battlefield of Yanyun is the main battlefield, attracting the main force of the Liao army, and the 30,000 Bo Navy and 40,000 Xi troops of the Liao State are contained in the third battlefield, so as to create a strategic opportunity for the new army of Baili Yi to annihilate the blocking army and severely damage the Liao army in the first battlefield, so as to achieve the intention of depleting the living force of the Liao State and forcing the retreat of the Liao army.

"The dew is white from tonight, and the moon is the hometown of Ming."

On the night of August 15, the Mid-Autumn Festival, on the vast field of Yanyun, a full moon hung in the sky, silent, serene but murderous. Outside the Great Wall, I don't know how many Liao troops are eyeing the sixteen states of Yanyun in the night.

In this long and narrow place, 80,000 children of the Ming Kingdom are waiting for them. Everyone understands that no matter whether they win or lose this battle, it is already an extravagant hope that they will survive, and they don't understand why the emperor still has to go through the danger and drag the emperor of Zhou to come with him. With 80,000 Ming troops, against the Liao army several times his own, even if it is a defense, it is a life of nine deaths.

But the Ming soldiers were not depressed because of this, let alone run away timidly, the Ming soldiers who had been stationed for several years had already seen too much of the miserable situation of the Liao people abusing and killing and ravaging the Han people in Liao, and had already sworn in their hearts that they would never let the Khitan people step south of the Yanjiang River, trample on the land of our Central Plains, and bully our Han people.

Three quarters of the hour.

Yanzhou City has been curfew, the people have long gone home to reunite with their relatives, except for the patrolling Ming soldiers in the city, there is silence.

At this time, on the top floor of the Lingyan Pagoda, the highest place in Yanzhou City, in the sporadic lights, the most powerful emperors of the Central Plains, Baili Wuji and Chai Rong, were drinking together.

"But to make the dragon city fly, do not teach Hu Ma to Yin Mountain." Baili Wuji raised his head, drank the wine in the cup again, and chanted this popular verse, "Second brother, today you and my brother are in Yanyun, and it is not inferior to let the ancients specialize in beauty, come, drink another glass." ”

Chai Rong looked at Baili Wuji, his face was heavy, in his heart, there were too many things to do, too many worries to let go, his thirty-year plan, to open up the world in ten years, to raise the people in ten years, and to achieve peace in ten years, is far from being realized. He does not have the impassionedness of Baili Wuji, nor is he full of pride.

However, Chai Rong still came.

People who can be called heroes always think differently from others, Chai Rong doesn't know why Baili Wuji is so confident, with 80,000 Ming troops, even if he adds 25,000 Zhou troops, it is only a little more than 100,000, how can he fight against nearly 400,000 Liao troops that are several times his own.

Although I was nervous in my heart, I called my second brother to Baili Wuji, because of Mingguo's help to Zhou over the years, because Baili Wuji did not break the alliance, and did not make Wang Pu turn his back, so I still came. (To be continued......)
