After the defeat of the conservatives in the struggle, Wanyan Saili, who was driven out of the capital by Mingsheng and secretly descended, had already smelled an ominous breath, and all the military power was taken away and attributed to the Wushu was equivalent to losing the last talisman, and now it is a sheep in a pen and a fish in a pot. And outside the circle, there are still the army of the Song Dynasty and the Mughal Army, which are not destroyed by the Song army, and it is only a matter of time before they are cleaned up by the reformers, of course he will not be a fish on the chopping board waiting to be slaughtered.

Wanyan Saili is still very shrewd, knowing that his strength is not enough to resist the imperial court, so he decided to take action before the boots fell, and looked for a few helpers in the Linhuang Mansion, one of which is the Linhuang Mansion Xingtai Zuo Xiang Wanyan Hulazy, he is the son of Wu Qimai, now the throne has been seized, many brothers have been arrested and killed, and the emperor named him the Wing King to show appeasement, but his heart is still very resentful, after the Saili proposed a rebellion, the two hit it off.

Later, the two of them brought in Hu Tu, who was from the same clan, and added Sairi's two sons, Han Dai and Wu Dabu, to form a rebel team, but Saili considered that he only had a few soldiers in his hands, and it would definitely not work without the support of the army, and he just had no military power. However, Seri had been in Linhuang for many years, and his relationship with the local Tatar Wangu tribe was not bad, so he contacted some of them.

Three months after Zong Xuan and others were killed, Saili began to act when spring had just descended on Saibei, he first booby-trapped the defenders of Linhuang Mansion, and then quickly mobilized the clan soldiers and the accomplice Wang Gu to enter the city of Linhuang Mansion to kill the leaderless defenders, and immediately coerced the officials in the city to oppose Jin and raise the banner of rebellion. Raided nearby defenseless states and counties, and controlled several states for a while. Rise to fame. However, this rebellion has not been able to get the support of the army, and the government and the opposition also deeply resented the rebellion. So that he has the support of only a small group of people.

Although there have been many rebellions in the more than 20 years since the founding of the Jin State, it is the first time that such a public rebellion has been made, especially with the participation of the royal family. Wan Yan was furious when he heard the news of Saili's rebellion, and immediately ordered Du Shuai Wushu to lead the troops to fight. Wushu must have hated the people who robbed his country, even more than the hatred of his mortal enemy Zhao Er, and led the army to come violently.

The two armies met at the Fushui River, and although Sairi was also a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, he was difficult to defeat Wushu and was defeated by the government army in the first battle. The two sons, Han Dai and Wuda, were given the first prize. After the defeat of Saili, he immediately led the remnants of the army to flee back to Linhuang Mansion to defend the city, and at the same time, he was desperate and sent people to ask for help from the Song army of Dading Mansion, saying that he was willing to sacrifice the city to the Song Dynasty......

…………

Linhuang Mansion is seen by Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji, the initial name is 'Imperial Capital', and then changed to Shangjing, the mansion is called Linhuang, the head of the five capitals, and the country name is changed to Da Liao, which is the first metropolis established by the northern nomads in the grassland area. The city retains many nomadic customs. It also has typical Khitan characteristics, attaches great importance to defense, and has complete urban defense facilities. The circumference is about 26 li, and the city walls are all rammed earth plates. There are more than three zhang high, build a horse face on the city wall, a building oar, and there is an urn city, a moat outside the city gate. There is an embankment outside the river.

Liaoshangjing is composed of the imperial city and the Seoul, and is divided into two cities, north and south. The connection between the two cities is in the shape of the word "day", and the imperial city is the residence of the Khitan royal family. The official yamen are all here; Seoul is in the south of the imperial city, mostly for the Han people and merchants to live, the pavilions face each other, shops, restaurants wear in the middle, and there are also post houses where messengers from various countries live. After Jin destroyed Liao, Liaoshangjing was changed to Beijing, and it still maintained the prosperity of the past, and was an important cargo distribution center outside the Saiwai, and now it is also an important base for the front line of the confrontation between the Song and Jin countries, and the transportation choke point of the south and north of the desert.

Because of the important location of Linhuang Mansion, it has become an important place for heavy defense since the Khitan was built, and although the political center of gravity was shifted eastward after the Jin destroyed Liao, the other nomads scattered here still did not give up the city and changed to accompany the capital to Beijing. And Zhao Tan also hoped to occupy this city and extend the power of the Great Song Dynasty to Monan, but due to an unexpected heavy snowfall, he missed it in the last Northern Expedition and failed to take it.

However, Zhao Ta never gave up the capture of Linhuang Mansion, he deployed heavy troops in the adjacent Dading Mansion, reorganized the Kryu Army, and expanded the Desert Brigade and the Hunting Cavalry Brigade to a military-level structure, plus the state army stationed here, with a total strength of more than 50,000 troops, becoming the largest number of Zhenfu Divisions after the Gyeonggi garrison, and then supported the peripheral Mongolian and Wu troops as reinforcements. It is far away from the mainland, the land is not abundant, and the required food and salary need to be transported from Hedong and Yanjing, which is a huge cost, so that the emperor, who has always been famous for picking doors, can run this place at any cost, and it can also be seen that he is determined to win Linhuang Mansion!

When Dading calmed down Zhao Yan received an urgent letter from Yan Saili, he couldn't believe his eyes, he also heard about what happened in Linhuang Mansion, and the Jin army was handsome and Wushu led the troops to suppress him, and reported the situation to Bianjing, and the reply was to step up war preparations, wait and see what happened, and don't interfere in the dispute between the two factions of the Jin State without authorization. Zhao Yan understood that the emperor wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, so that they would eat the dog, and he was worried that after the Great Song Dynasty intervened, the two sides would reconcile and join forces with the outside world, and they would lose the opportunity to 'watch the show'.

Zhao Yan and Sai Li fought outside Datong Mansion when the Jin army went south for the first time, when he was the vanguard with Tiefutu as the front drive to rush into battle, he still fought to the death with several wounds, and when he withdrew the army, he served as a guard to deal with them, leaving a deep impression on Zhao Yan, feeling that such a fierce man could fight with Wushu for more than a dozen rounds, but he didn't expect to be defeated and returned to Linhuang City in only one battle, and what surprised him even more was that this person actually had no bottom line to sacrifice the city to Song as a traitor.

"General Zhao, this matter is too strange, if this is the case, Saili will be a self-defeating way, with what he did in the past, will there be fraud in it?" After Zhao Yan got the report, he felt that the matter was very important, and immediately asked to appease Yelu Yu to go to the house to discuss, Yelu Yu looked at the secret letter and thought for a moment and said.

"Lord Yelu, since the civil strife in Linhuang Mansion, I sent scouts to reconnoitre, and the information I got was not bad as the letter said, and the fact that Saili and Zong Xuan colluded to conspire to usurp the throne is also the truth, Zong Xuan and others conferred the title of the head made him feel the crisis, and now after the defeat of the army, it is not a bad way to protect himself if he wants to take refuge in us!" Zhao Zhidao Yelu Yu had the experience of betraying Liao and lowering Jin, and betraying Jin and surrendering to the Song Dynasty, and now the two are colleagues, and he has made great contributions to the emperor's Jingluo Datong, and won the sacred heart, in order not to stimulate him, he thought about it and said.

"Well, people are cornered and can do anything, and Sairi may really want to find a way out for himself!" Yelu Yu nodded and said.

"The scout reported the day before yesterday, in the battle of Fushui River, the two sons of the race were killed by the Wushu, and the head of the pole was picked up at the head of the pole to show the public, and the two sides have resolved the mortal enemy, if you show us the price, it seems to be a bit too big!" Zhao Yan said.

"Oh, the vultures killed Sairi's son?!" Yelu Yu said in surprise, he had dealt with the Jurchens for many years, and naturally knew that the Jurchens of the Dao were the most resentful, especially this kind of revenge against relatives was difficult to resolve.

"Yes, this news has been verified by the two teams of scouts, and there will be no mistake!" Zhao Yan said affirmatively.

"There are five points true that Sairi sacrificed the city and returned to obedience, what does the general think should be done?" Yelu Yu said that he knew that Zhao Yan had followed the emperor's confidants since he was a child, and although his title was higher than his, he would not ignore him, so he still consulted him first.

"My lord, I thought the opportunity was not to be missed, even if there was fraud, it was worth trying!" Zhao Yan said.

"What the general said is reasonable, but we want to mobilize the army, without the order of His Majesty, and without the military talisman of the Privy Council, we are afraid that it will cause misunderstanding, and if we do not handle it well, it will lead to a resumption of war between the two countries, so we still have to think twice!" Yelu Yu also thought that this was an opportunity, but his worries were not superfluous, especially the border general's unauthorized mobilization of the army, which was a taboo for officials, if the emperor did not like it, he would lose his official position, and his head would not be protected.

"Your Excellency is worried that the Emperor has granted us the right to deal with the situation on the spot, and now that the Jin civil strife has just subsided and the situation is unstable, it is unlikely that a war with us will cause a full-scale war. The fighter plane is gone in a blink of an eye, and once the Wushu captures Linhuang Mansion, it will not be easy for us to take it again, so I thought we could immediately transfer troops to occupy Linhuang City, and report to the emperor as soon as possible! Zhao said shamefully.

"Having said that, we can't be cautious, now the sergeants of the court are very vigilant about the continuous improvement of our martial arts status, if we don't do it well, it will lead to the impeachment of the courtiers, and then the emperor will be very embarrassed!" Yelu Yu sighed, although he did not explicitly oppose it, but everyone understood the meaning.

"Don't worry, my lord, the emperor is a wise man, and he knows how to fight, so he will not condemn us because of this." Zhao Yan smiled and said, it is said that people are old and become fine, and now Yelu Yu is no longer thinking about being aggressive, but to be able to keep his current vested interests and enjoy his old age in peace, "Lord Yelu, you stay in Dading Mansion and sit in the rear, dispatch all the armies to prepare to respond, I will lead the army to Linhuang Mansion, and once nothing can be done, I will immediately withdraw the army to ensure that Dading Mansion is not lost; If this can be done, it will be a great achievement! ”

Zhao Yan was determined to seize the fleeting opportunity, even if he was punished by the emperor, after all, getting the Linhuang Mansion could greatly improve the current strategic situation, even from a tactical point of view, he could also go forward at any time to cut off the connection between Jin and Mo Nan and divide it into two parts. Subsequently, he revised a letter to Bianjing to report to the emperor urgently, explaining the current situation and his own deployment.

At the same time, the drums were beaten to summon the generals to arrange tasks, and Zhao Yan took the first and second brigades of the Dragoon Brigade of the Krup Army as the forerunner and set off to find out the situation one step ahead of the army; He led the 3rd and 4th Brigades of the Krupped Hussars and his direct subordinate team to follow, covering the army with the Cavalry Hunters as the right flank and the Desert Army as the left flank; Yelu Yu led the state army and the 5th and 6th brigades of the Capture Army to stay in Dadingfu......
