Xia Yan was depressed and wanted to persuade again, but saw that His Majesty had already brushed his sleeves away. Zhang Chang walked up to Xia Yan and sneered: "If you want to bring down Prime Minister, you can't do it by yourself!" ”

Xia Yan glared at Zhang Chang and scolded angrily: "Don't be too happy! People are doing it, the sky is watching, you have done so many bad things, sooner or later you will be punished! Coincidentally, just as Xia Yan finished saying this, there was a sudden thunderbolt in the sky outside. Zhang Chang was shocked, panicked by the accident, and looked like he was in a state of panic. Xia Yan sneered: "Be careful when you go out!" Don't be chopped by a thunderbolt from God! Zhang Chang was furious and scolded: "A bunch of nonsense, gossip confuses the public!" Then he brushed his sleeves and left.

Soon after, a secret order from Yahu Hugo reached Xiao Gan, who secretly dispatched another 100,000 soldiers and horses to reinforce Goryeo. Xiao Gan has an opinion on this, but since His Majesty's holy decree has come down, he has no choice but to follow it. So he sent 100,000 weaker soldiers and horses, and ordered them to prepare to set off late at night, and quietly left the barracks and headed southeast.

There has been no movement on the Ming side, which made Xiao Gan's uneasy heart relax a little.

In the battle on the Goryeo side, after a round of strong counterattacks by Xiao Sali and Xiao Zhanle, the situation gradually fell into disadvantage. After the two retreated to Pyongyang, they didn't care about the Japanese people, and they were busy exterminating the Goryeo civilian army that kept appearing all day long. At this time, our army, which had already rested and was well prepared, marched out and marched north to launch a fierce attack on Pyongyang. The surrounding prefectures and counties of Pyongyang fell one after another, and Xiao Sali and Xiao Zhanle concentrated their forces in Pyongyang to fight the Japanese army. The Japanese army had much more troops than the Khitan army, and a considerable part of the Khitan army was pinned down in the rear to protect the logistics line, so that after several days of fierce fighting, the Khitan army actually had some strength to look like it had not been caught, and had to retreat into the city and defend the city.

The Japanese people were greatly boosted and attacked on three sides, and the battle situation became more and more unfavorable for the Khitan army. However, just when the war was in full swing, 100,000 reinforcements from the Khitan army arrived on the battlefield. Seeing the arrival of reinforcements, the Khitan army was greatly boosted, Xiao Sali and Xiao Zhanle immediately waved their troops out of the city to counterattack the Japanese army, but the Japanese did not back down, the whole army stormed, the two sides fought a fierce battle outside Pyongyang, killing the sky and the sun and the moon, and in the end, the exhausted both sides invariably chose to cease the war and retreated. After that, although there were many battles between the two sides, neither side could gain the upper hand, and the battle entered a stalemate. It was difficult for the Japanese to cross Pyongyang, and the Khitan army could not repel the Japanese army.

Hurdon Hugh was anxious about the situation, but there was nothing he could do about it.

At this moment, there was a sudden news from Goryeo, Wang Yue, the king of Goryeo who had already fled to Bianliang, appeared in Goryeo, and announced the restoration of Goryeo, and the Goryeo people's troops from all over the country flocked to join them, and it is said that the militia gathered around the Goryeo king had exceeded 300,000.

Zhang Chang, Ye Yu Zongfu, Xiao Zonghan, and Xiao Bi Jinglun hurriedly came to the imperial study and met Ye Yu Xiu Ge.

Ye Hugh Ge immediately told the four of them the latest situation in Goryeo, the four of them looked at each other, Xiao Bi Jinglun said worriedly: "I have long heard that the king of Goryeo Wang Yue fled to Bianliang, and now he suddenly appeared in Goryeo, I am afraid that nine times out of ten it is due to the instructions of the Ming Emperor!" ”

Zhang Chang suddenly bowed to Brother Ye Hugh and said, "Your Majesty, this is definitely a good thing for us!" ”

Everyone was puzzled, looked at Zhang Chang, Xiao Zonghan said angrily: "Daming let Wang Yue go back to restore the country, how did this become a good thing?" ”

Zhang Chang explained: "Your Majesty, although the appearance of Wang Yue has made the situation in Goryeo more complicated, it also shows that the Ming Dynasty's attention is on Goryeo, not on Zhongjing Road, and we don't have to worry about the Ming side taking the opportunity to attack." ”

When everyone heard this, they felt that it made sense, and they couldn't help but nod, and their mood suddenly improved a lot.

Zhang Chang said: "Your Majesty thinks that the current situation in Goryeo is difficult to solve in a short time, so it is better to accept the current reality, and our army will defend Pyongyang." ”

Although Brother Hugh was very reluctant, he also felt that what Zhang Chang said was very reasonable. At present, the main enemy is the Ming Dynasty, and it is better not to consume it with other enemies in other directions. Xiao Zonghan and the others also nodded, they are the same as Brother Hugh, they are most worried about the threat of Da Ming now, if they can stop the army in other directions, it is better to concentrate on dealing with Da Ming.

Zhang Chang continued: "We can send an envoy to contact that Wang Yue, saying that we can recognize his position as emperor of Liao, on the condition that he must submit to our Great Liao. ”

Xiao Zongfu frowned and said, "How is this possible?" Wasn't Wang Yue sent back by the Ming Dynasty, how could he surrender to us? ”

Zhang Chang said with a smile: "Then Wang Yue wants to sit firmly on the throne of Goryeo, will he dare to offend us?" Everyone couldn't help but laugh. Zhang Chang continued: "I'm sure Wang Yue will be very surprised when he sees our Great Liao envoy!" Goryeo will definitely surrender to the Ming Dynasty and also surrender to our Daliao! We can use Goryeo to hold on to the Japanese who occupy southern Goryeo, so that our army in Goryeo can be transferred back to support the main battlefield!" ”

Brother Ya Hugo said happily: "Very good! is worthy of being the prime minister of my Dajin, and this plan he came up with is very good! Zhang Chang hurriedly humbled himself, but he was very proud in his heart.

Brother Ye Hugh thought about it, and then said to Zhang Chang: "Prime Minister, this matter will be left to you." Zhang Chang bowed and said, "The slave obeys the order!" ”

Jean sat back in his seat helplessly, frowned, and said, "There is also the question of the Khorezm rebellion," raised his head to look at everyone, and asked, "What do you have in mind about this?" ”

Yari Sosuke hurriedly came out and said, "Your Majesty, I think it's better to give up Khorezm and transfer all the troops over there back!" ”

Ye Hugh thought about it, frowned and nodded, although he was reluctant, but the huge pressure that Da Ming gave him made him have to make the decision to give up. The top priority now is to concentrate forces and resources to deal with the Ming Dynasty, but we can't be distracted by other things, and give up when we should give up.

In Dading Mansion, Yang Peng read the letter sent by Fan Yong just now, smiled slightly, and muttered: "Interesting, so many conditions have been put forward for me." Then he handed the letter to Yang Jiumei. After Yang Jiumei read it, she handed it to Gao Hu and said to Yang Peng: "The other party seems to have a fearless appearance, how can we agree to such a condition!" Yang Peng smiled, "Do you have no fear?" Then let's not talk to them for a while! Let's fight first! Yang Jiumei nodded and said, "Now the time is almost now!" Is it time to get started? ”

Yang Peng walked to the map with his hands behind his back, looked at the dotted cities on the map and thought for a moment, then nodded, "Now the time is almost now!" Then he turned around and ordered: "Order the all-out attack of all armies to begin!" ”

Xiao Lu Yegan led 80,000 soldiers and horses to guard Dushan. Dushan is in the south of Zhongjing Road, facing Jiugongling.

That night, Xiao Lu also rested early, but was awakened by the noise halfway through his sleep. Lu Yegan sat up in annoyance, only to see that there seemed to be a flash of fire outside the big tent, he couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly got up and ran out. Looking in the direction of the firelight, I saw the fire of the camp under the mountain to the west, and the huge flames were like terrible demons surging out of the ground, and the claws of the devil lifted the sky, and the night was turned into day; At the same time, there were sounds of killing, and figures were longing, as if countless soldiers and horses were storming the camp.

Xiao Lu Yegan was shocked when he saw such a scene, and immediately ordered all the horses to prepare for battle.

Soon after, numerous rout soldiers fled from the bottom of the mountain. Xiao Lu also learned from the mouth of the rout that the Ming army launched a surprise attack not long ago, and his soldiers and horses were caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, and the camp under the mountain had been lost. Xiao Lu was also very annoyed, and asked, "What is Marge doing to eat, didn't I tell him to be careful about his defense?" "General Marg thought that the enemy would not attack, so he did not strengthen the garrison according to the general's orders, and when the enemy attacked, General Marg was drunk, so our army was unled, and it was thrown into chaos all of a sudden!" ”

Xiao Lu was also so angry that he shouted, "Where are the Margs? I'm going to cut him! "General Marg has died in the chaos!" Xiao Lu couldn't help but be stunned.

The night passed quickly and the sun rose. Under the sunshine of the rising sun, I saw countless Ming troops arrayed under the mountain, like the sea and the tide, and the momentum was amazing. On the mountain, the Khitan army ran back and forth, transporting internal stones, fire oil, gunpowder and other defensive materials to various key points.

Soon after, the rumbling war drums came from the bottom of the mountain, and a shout from the Ming army came in, and the battle began. The Ming army took the shield hand as the leader, and the other armies followed, constantly swooping towards the mountain; The soldiers of the Khitan army relied on the mountain to desperately throw down the rolling stones and sassaches, and poured down the steep mountain for thousands of miles! The soldiers of the Ming army were smashed to the point that their shields were torn apart, their helmets collapsed, and their flesh and blood flew everywhere, and they kept attacking, but they were constantly beaten down, and they were never able to rush to the top of the mountain!

For many days like this, the Ming army suffered a lot of losses, but it was impossible to rush up the mountain at all. The Khitan army was very nervous when it lost the camp under the mountain, but seeing that the Ming army could not attack at all, the nervous mood gradually relaxed, and the atmosphere became relaxed. Xiao Lugan even said in his report to Yehu Hugo: Dushan is impregnable, even if the enemy army is given a hundred years, it is impossible to attack it!

On this morning, the war drums of the Ming Dynasty sounded loudly again, and more than 100,000 Ming troops approached to the foot of the mountain to line up. The Khitan army was not in a hurry and calmly arranged, and a Khitan soldier smiled and said to his companions: "Let's compare to see who killed more Ming people!" The companion smiled: "Compare and compare, I'm afraid you won't succeed!" ”

The drums and horns of the Ming army under the mountain were contending, and a Khitan army general shouted: "It's coming!" I saw a 10,000-strong Ming army leaving the brigade and dividing into three teams rushing from the left, middle and right directions. In the blink of an eye, the Ming army rushed halfway up the mountain. Xiao Lu also did it, and immediately ordered an attack. When he landed, the crossbowmen released arrows one after another, and the locust-like arrows whistled down the mountain, while the other soldiers pushed the rolling stone and wood down the hillside, and for a moment there was a loud rumbling sound, and the scene of smoke and dust rolling on the hillside was very amazing! The Yan Yunjun on the hillside was quickly overwhelmed by the billowing smoke and dust! There was laughter on the Khitan army's position.

Suddenly, the Khitan soldiers saw countless figures rushing straight up through the smoke screen, and they couldn't help but be stunned, but they didn't expect that the round of attacks just now failed to repel them. Immediately they roared, and the arrows were shot, and the rolling stones were rolled into the trees, and for a moment there was a thunderclap on the hillside, and the billowing smoke and dust once again flooded the enemy troops.

But a moment later, the enemy came up through the smoke screen again, and they were very agile. Xiao Lu couldn't help but feel nervous, and shouted urgently: "Archery!" Archery! ”

The crossbowmen fired arrows, and locust-like arrows rained down. I saw that those Ming soldiers quickly raised their shields, and the whole person shrank behind the shield, and the dense arrows fell, crackling on the shield, and they didn't cause much damage to the Ming army! At the same time, some Khitan officers and soldiers pushed down some rolling stones and sassers, only to see that those Ming soldiers who were blocking the brunt of the Ming Army did not panic, and quickly relied on the rocks around them as cover. The rolling stone and sassard rushed down violently, but it did not cause much damage to those Ming officers and soldiers at all. At this moment, the officers and men of the Khitan Army were shocked to find that the Ming Army attacking in front of them was not at all the same thing as those Ming Army troops who had been attacking in the past few days, they must be the real Ming elite!

The Ming soldiers climbed as quickly as cheetahs and rushed to the top of the mountain, and the Khitan soldiers hurriedly counterattacked, but they were killed by the wolf-like Ming elite! I saw that those Ming soldiers were fierce and fierce, wielding swords and axes to move forward, killing the Khitan soldiers and retreating again and again! Xiao Lu was also nervous, and urged his soldiers to fight back! After all, the Khitan army is also the elite of a hundred battles, after a short period of chaos, immediately desperately counterattacked, the Khitan army will rush in front, the Khitan soldiers followed, and all soldiers and generals fiercely counterattacked and rushed to the top of the mountain Ming army!

These Ming troops in front of them are not ordinary military government troops, but elites from the First Army, facing the counterattack of the Khitan army like a sea of tides, roaring like thunder, sacrificing their lives to fight! All of a sudden, I saw flesh and blood flying on the top of the mountain, and the soldiers on both sides were inseparable, just like a tiger meeting a pack of wolves, and the fight was inseparable! A group of Khitan soldiers rushed over, and a group of Ming soldiers were rushed to pieces, and then more than a dozen Ming Mo sword soldiers wielded big swords and battle axes and killed them directly, and killed this group of Khitan soldiers to cry dad and mother; A wounded Khitan officer was still howling and rushing forward, and suddenly, a burly figure stood in front of him, his hands raised, and with a flash of his sword, his head was cut off; A Khitan soldier and a Ming soldier hugged each other and twisted together, you pinched my neck fiercely, I grabbed your throat tightly, and rolled down the hillside together. On the battlefield, the roar sounded loudly, and as far as the eye could see, it was all a scene of sacrificing their lives, wolves fighting tigers, and killing extremely fiercely!

Although the Khitan army is desperately counterattacking, and the strength is far more than the Ming army, the combat power of the Ming army in front of them is too strong, no matter how crazy the Khitan army is, it can't do the Ming army that rushed to the top of the mountain, and the tragic battle has continued!

At this moment, the army of the Ming Dynasty surged up like an endless tide. The soldiers of the Khitan army gradually panicked when they saw the endless army surging up. The elite of the Ming Dynasty took advantage of the situation to pounce, and rushed forward bravely, stepping on the corpses and blood of the enemy, and tore a few holes in the enemy thicket. Immediately after that, the military army poured in like a tide, and the Khitan soldiers could no longer resist and began to retreat. After a moment of fighting, as a Khitan army collapsed first, the Khitan army could no longer resist and was defeated.

The Ming army swept across the mountains like a tide to chase and kill the Khitan army, and the corpses of the Khitan army flowed like a river of blood.

At the same time as the battle of Dushan on the southern front, Gao Hu led the main force of the First Army and 150,000 military troops out of Yuzhou, and directly attacked Jianshan outside Lizhou City in the east. The Khitan army guarding Jianshan suddenly heard that Lizhou had fallen behind them, and hurriedly retreated in panic, but was led by Gao Hu to take the opportunity to cover the attack, killing the Khitan army, and the remnants of the defeated army fled east to Shenshui City. Gao Hu led the army to pursue until the foot of Shenshui City, but before the battle was fought, the enemy army fled, and Shenshui went down without a fight. Immediately afterwards, Gao Hu led his troops and horses into Andezhou.

At this time, Xiao Gan Buli was guarding Andezhou, originally Xiao Gan Buli still had a lot of soldiers and horses under his command, but since this period of time, most of the soldiers and horses under Xiao Gan Buli have been transferred to Goryeo. However, although there was no way, he did not dare to abandon the city without authorization, so he could only collect the defeated army and mobilize the people in the city to prepare to defend the city.

Gao Hu's road is the middle line, and Yang Peng personally leads the northern line. Just when the southern and central lines were fighting triumphantly, Yang Peng led the main force of the Ming Dynasty to the north. Jinzhou went down without a fight, and immediately divided the army into two parts, one led by the general Li Xu to attack Gaozhou, and the other was led by Yang Peng himself to attack Songshan Pavilion.

The meteor fast horse continued to fly into the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and the urgent military information that kept coming made the monarchs and ministers a little frightened. Xiao Wei Jinglun said in disbelief: "Why did Da Ming call suddenly? Isn't it, is it a mistake? The ministers echoed each other, all of whom found it difficult to accept the sudden and sudden turn of the situation.

Yehu Hugo glanced at everyone and said lightly, "These are all expected by me. Although the enemy army is menacing, our army can completely resist it, you don't have to worry! When the ministers heard this, their worries couldn't help but let go of a lot.

Brother Yahu said to Sosuke Yeya, "Sosuke Yari, you immediately rush to the Songshan Pavilion to take command!" "The Ya Zong assisted in the preservation of the promise. Immediately, Brother Ye Hugh said to Xiao Zonghan: "Xiao Zonghan, when I am not in Beijing, you will sit for me." Xiao Zonghan bowed and promised.

On the same day, Yalu Hugo and Yayo Sosuke left Shangjing in a hurry, Ya Hugo rushed to Gaozhou, and Ya Yu Sosuke rushed to Matsuyamakan. Halfway through, I received an urgent report from Beihai, Yang Yanzhao led 100,000 elites to attack Beihai, the Beihai region was in danger, not only that, but the Ming general Cao Jun led 200,000 military troops to attack Jingbian City and Jumu Ancient City, and moved north of Beijing. Hurrigo couldn't help but panic a little. Originally, the entire Mongolian region was also turned into a road to Shangjing by the Khitan, and now the location of Yang Yanzhao's army and Cao Jun's army is actually closer to the north than the location of Shangjing; The Jingbian City and the Ancient City of Jumu were thousands of miles north of Shangjing, and the military actions of Yang Yanzhao and Cao Jun could be said to have directly shaken the flanks and henchmen of the Liao State.

At the same time, he was very puzzled when he was panicking, and he didn't understand where Daming got so many resources to constantly launch a war of such a scale?! Like him, he mobilized the whole army to fight before, and almost squeezed out the national strength and civilian strength of the Liao State, he really couldn't understand how the Ming Dynasty could continue to launch a war of such a scale? At this moment, it can be said that Brother Ye's understanding of the Ming Dynasty is still very limited, neither understanding the wealth and strength of the Ming Dynasty, nor understanding that the current Ming Dynasty has become a war machine that can use all its resources for war at any time after Yang Peng's transformation! Of course, it is also very difficult for the Ming Dynasty to launch a war of this scale in a row, especially the grain and grass and the transfer of grain and grass, this time these two aspects make the Ming Dynasty, which is strong and powerful, also feel very difficult! Because of this, those restless Confucian scholars jumped out again and talked about the bird language that although the country is great and warlike, it will perish!

Yang Peng led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Songshan Pavilion, and was not in a hurry to attack the city, but set up a camp several miles outside the city, which stretched for dozens of miles, and the Khitan soldiers on the city pass were terrified.

Da Ming sat under the lamp, looking at the official document he had just sent, with a thoughtful look on his face.

Yang Erya came in and handed a flying pigeon biography to Yang Peng, saying, "General Yang Yanzhao's flying pigeon biography." ”

Yang Peng took the letter, opened it and read it, and said: "Yang Yanzhao and they have captured Beihai, but they have encountered the Khitan army that withdrew from Khorezm, and the armies of the two sides are in a fierce battle. Yang Erya said with some concern: "There are 200,000 Khitan troops withdrawn from Khorezm, but I am afraid that General Yang will make a mistake!" ”

Yang Peng smiled, "Don't worry, Yang Yanzhao can handle it." Yang Erya saw that the eldest brother's tone and demeanor were so relaxed, and her worried heart couldn't help but let go. Immediately thinking of the things in front of him, he frowned slightly and said, "I'm afraid this Songshan Pavilion is not easy to fight!" ”

Yang Peng said: "If it is when the Liao State is the strongest, it is really difficult to fight. However, the current Liao State is no longer what it was at the beginning. The country is afraid that the people's hearts will be separated, and once the people's hearts are separated, the country will not last long. Then he handed a note he had just written to Yang Erya, and said, "Copy the content of this note to him for a few thousand points, and send cavalry to shoot into the city early tomorrow morning." Yang Erya promised and left the big tent.

Early the next morning, the officers and men of the Khitan army, who had not dared to sleep all night, fell asleep grogily. Rumble Rumble ......! The huge war drums suddenly sounded, and the Khitan soldiers were awakened one after another!

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
