Chapter One Hundred and Four
Chai Rong suddenly realized, and said repeatedly: "Brother is far-sighted, Rong is not as good as it." ”
Baili Wuji said: "The second brother should be humble, and the affairs of the Ming Kingdom are naturally more clear to me." In this way, I estimate that good news should come from the battlefield on the Western Front in the next few days, and at that time, I will order the new army of Bailiyi to move eastward, from Yinzhou and Fuzhou to Yanyun. In this way, the Dading Mansion can be stabilized. ”
Chai Rong nodded and said, "In this way, Dading Mansion can be obtained." ”
Baili Wuji said: "In this way, I also asked the second brother to help." ”
Chai Rong smiled: "Rong must do his best." ”
As a result, Baili Wuji ordered Chen Yanzheng's department to quickly repair for three days for replenishment; The 60,000 troops of Lingwu and Ruzhou took the lead in attacking Bei'an Prefecture northeast of Gubeikou, and held on to the city.
Chai Rong ordered Chengde Jiedu to make Wuxingwen go north out of the Great Wall, attack Yanzi City and Tanshan, and then hold on to Tanshan City.
Sure enough, two days later, the good news of the Ming and Zhou armies on the Western Front reached Qianzhou at the same time.
After the Yunyang Department of the Ming Army and Xu Shouren's special combat army cut off the retreat route of more than 10,000 people of the Blocker Army and captured the Blocker Army, they immediately recovered Qinzhou and went north to the west of Yi and Wei Prefectures. After crossing Weishui, Bailiyi's Fourth Route New Army pointed directly at Yizhou in the north direction.
The Zhou army Fengxiang Mansion Wang Jing and Zan Ju Runbu marched to the northwest, recovering Longzhou without blood, and approaching Yizhou. Ningzhou Xiang Training Department and Zhao Kuangyin Department increased troops from Ningzhou to Jingzhou, and after that, the two departments marched to Weizhou.
On 15 August, the Ming and Zhou armies launched a general offensive against the Zhubu and Liao armies in Yi and Wei Prefectures.
After three days and three nights of fierce fighting. Bailiyi's new army took the lead in breaking through the south gate of Yizhou, occupied Yizhou, and joined forces with Yunyang and Xu Shouren. The remnants of the Liao army retreated northward. Seek to rendezvous with the Liao army in the city of Weizhou. After Yun Yang and Xu Shouren led their troops to clear the remnants of the enemy in Yizhou City, they stopped in Yizhou City to report to Yanyun and stood by.
Zhou Jun's Fengxiang Mansion, Wang Jing and Zan Jurun's troops immediately continued to the north, and joined forces with Xiang Xun's department and Zhao Kuangyin's department to attack Weizhou in the southeast. On August 20, the 100,000-strong army of the Zhou army broke through the city of Weizhou. The remnants of the Liao army continued to flee northward, and there was no longer any desire to fight.
Wang Jing and Zan Jurun began to garrison Weizhou City, while Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin continued to pursue north.
After hearing of the great victory on the Western Front, Zheng Enbu of Yinzhou immediately led the army to counterattack Xiazhou. The morale of the Liao army in Xiazhou had declined, and before Zheng En could lead his troops to attack, they had already heard the wind and fled. Zheng En quickly recovered Xia and Youzhou. And hoard the army in Youzhou. Shocked the Liao army in Yanzhou.
At this point, the Western Front battlefield was completely victorious, and all the lost territory of the Ming Kingdom was recovered; The lost territory of the Zhou State was recovered except for the northernmost states of Ling and Yan, which were still under the control of the Liao army. And the recovery of Ling and Yan is only a matter of time. As long as Xiang Xun and Zhao Kuangyin's troops rushed to Yanzhou and Zheng En's troops to attack on both sides, the recovery of Yan and Ling Prefecture was just around the corner.
Baili Wuji and Chai Rong each read the good news, looked at each other and smiled, exchanged the reports with each other, and then took a closer look.
"Second brother, the overall situation has been decided."
"Brother, the winner has been decided."
The two spoke in unison, stunned. Laugh together.
After a breath, Baili Wuji put away his laughter. Looking at Chai Rong and said, "Second brother, it's been more than half a month since we got along, and it's time to break up." ”
Chai Rong was stunned for a moment and asked, "Didn't my brother decide to attack the Dading Mansion of the Liao State, why did he suddenly change his mind?" ”
Baili Wuji said: "The victory on the Western Front will solve the problem of the strength of the Northern Expedition. The Liao State is newly defeated, and it will take time to form a new army, and while it is now in a panic, there is a new army of Baili Yi to confront, and it is no longer a concern to take Dading Mansion. As long as the two states of Ling and Yan are recovered, they can be connected with the Uighur Jingqiong of Ganzhou in the west of the Ming State and the Jiaoluo Department of Qinghai. ”
It has been almost a month since he left Kaifeng, and Chai Rong is actually very worried in his heart, seeing that Baili Wuji has thought it through, he will not say more.
Chai Rong said: "In this way, Rong immediately ordered Wu Xingwen to transfer the command of his department to his brother. ”
Baili Wuji nodded with a smile and said, "It's okay." Although there is a new army of Baili Yi, it is always good to be prepared. ”
Chai Rong said: "In this way, I will leave today, go back to Kaifeng Mansion first, and then transfer to Xiazhou." ”
Baili Wuji said: "This is very good. I'll send my second brother. ”
When parting, the two were relatively speechless, Chai Rong stretched out his arms, hugged Baili Wuji, and then turned over and left.
Baili Wuji's heart trembled, and he looked at Chai Rong's back and shouted, "Second brother, take care of your body." ”
Chai Rong's answer came from afar: "Brother must also take care." ”
……。
Baili Wuji sent an order to Yizhou, ordering Yunyang and Xu Shouren to continue to advance to the northwest to reinforce the Uighur Jingqiong and Qinghai Jiaoluo troops in Ganzhou, Hexi, to prevent the 50,000 Bu troops from moving south from temporarily attacking Su, Gan, and Liangzhou. Ling Bailiyi led the new army north, from Xia and Fuzhou to Yanyun. At the same time, Jinling Mansion was ordered to step up the production of ammunition and transport Yanyun at any time.
Baili Wuji knows that the almost two-year war has made the Ming State's armory unable to make ends meet, and the four major armory workshops have been producing day and night, but the ninety-nine passes have been passed, and it is not bad to be trembling at the door, and after surviving this battle, the Ming State will no longer need to throw a lot of energy into the Liao State.
At this time, Bai Likang led 80,000 Liao troops to fight bloodily on the front line of Kaizhou west of the Yalu River.
After getting Baili Wuji's will, Bailikang knew that the good days of Liao were over. As a confidant of Baili Wuji, Bailikang has a keen awareness. He guessed from the day Baili Wuji appointed him as the governor of the military stationed in Goryeo, that one day, he would lead the army stationed in Goryeo to attack the Liao State in the west.
Bai Likang knew that Da Lang had kept himself in Goryeo for several years, not simply because he married the princess of Goryeo. Over the years, he has been arming and fighting every day, so that this day is it, perhaps, after this battle, he can return to the Ming Kingdom.
Bailikang never thought that he married the queen of Goryeo, this should stay in Goryeo, and he never hoped to be above the court, a high-ranking official, his dream was just to be by Baili Wuji's side, and to be with Ah Ren and Ah Yi.
And now, after this war, it may be possible.
Baili Kang ordered Li Jianxun to lead 30,000 troops stationed in Dongying to hold the line of Luzhou, while he crossed the Yalu River and attacked Kaizhou in the west.
Bailikang had already figured out the first-line defense strength of the Yalu River in Liao, and the Bohai Navy formed by 30,000 people of the Sumo Yalu tribe was stationed in the north of the Zhubin Mansion, while the Liaoyang Mansion was garrisoned by the 40,000 troops of the Xi people.
