Chapter 233 Voices Strike West
Xiao Chuxuan actually suggested that Emperor Liao Tianzuo give the entire east of Hulun Lake and even the entire central and eastern regions of Shangjing Province (now Mongolia and most of Outer Mongolia) to the Jin State, so as to strengthen the strength of the Jin State and give the Jin State the strength to fight against Dayu.
You must know that the current Jin State, although it has gone through many years of war with the Liao State, only occupies the area north of the Liao River and east of the Great Xing'an Mountains, because of the terrain and the obstruction of Dong Huang's army, the Jin army has not been able to penetrate deep into the Mongolian Plateau.
However, Emperor Liao Tianzuo rejected Xiao Chuxuan's suggestion.
As an emperor, it's already a shame to be beaten around, and let him take the initiative to cut the land and sue for peace? Dream!
This piece of land is yours when you knock it down, and if you can't beat it, you complain that you don't have the ability.
Xiao Chuxuan could only give up, and he didn't even dare to send someone to deliver the news to the Jin people, because he was the one who almost shot Yan Agu to beat him back then.
However, the news of the Jin people is not so closed.
Wanyan Gushen's envoy, in addition to giving Dong Huang three Haidongqing, also found out a certain amount of information, one of his subordinates even got in touch with the Song State, originally planned to join the Song Dynasty to destroy Yu, but unfortunately because the Dayu army completely controlled the coastlines of Liaodong and Goryeo, it was impossible for the Jin State and the Southern Song Dynasty to have another maritime alliance.
In the absence of foreign aid, and because of the terrain restrictions, the development to the west is very unfavorable, the war of the Jin State against Dayu has long been on the agenda.
In fact, the previous cooperation between the Jin State and the Liao State to fight the Linhuang Mansion was an attempt, for the Jin people, after the Linhuang Mansion was laid, they could continue to conquer the Liao State to the west, but the last failure had also forced the Jin State to a dead end.
Militarily, the Jin State was a Meng'an Moke system, but politically it was a Bo Ji Lie system, which was a crude tribal alliance system, somewhat similar to the Manchu Eight Banners' Council of the Parliamentary Princes, the emperor did not have supreme power, and the chiefs of the various powerful tribes decided together.
When Wanyan Agu was invincible, the Bo Jilie naturally obeyed their orders, but when the Jin Kingdom was in decline, it was difficult to say what these people thought.
At its core, whether it is Meng'an Mok or Bo Jilie, is just a tribal alliance military system that expands and plunders externally to satisfy the appetites of the Jurchen tribes, but when it cannot plunder from the outside to meet internal needs, this system will hurt itself.
Jin Guo actually has no choice.
Compared with the Jin State, Da Yu has many more choices, and Da Yu's war preparations for the Jin State have not stopped.
No matter what happened to the south and west, Zhang Liao's department did not move, and the grain and grass from Liaodong and Goryeo, Yingzhou, etc., which were extremely squeezed, were also continuously transported to the Liaoyang area of Tokyo. Although Goryeo and Yeongju are hungry, the Tokyo area is full of grain and grass.
In this war against Jin, Dong Huang did not go out in person, but set up the Marshal Mansion in Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, and Jia Xu led the war against Jin.
This time, Dong Huang still overwhelmed the people, and gathered a total of 1.2 million troops to attack the Jin State in three ways.
The main force was personally commanded by Jia Xu, and was composed of Zhang Liao's Army, Gaoshun Army, Lejin Army, Huaxiong Army, Dong Yue Dong Cheng Army, Xu Chu, Fu Wei, Wei Yan, Pang De, Huo Jun, Qiao Daoqing's Department, a total of 900,000 troops and millions of people and auxiliaries.
Recently, Dong Huang, who has deep pockets, has unlocked a new way to play space troops, recruiting a large number of cheap Montenegrin soldiers, these troops obtained after eliminating Zhang Yan, the biggest advantage is to bear hardships and stand hard work, so that they can no longer keep up with the pace of the version in frontal combat, but it is more than enough to act as an auxiliary soldier to transport food.
In addition, there were a large number of extremely hungry people from Goryeo and Wa among the auxiliaries, and being able to eat a full meal was enough to make them burst out with shocking courage.
The strategic goal of Jia Xu's main force was very simple, to directly attack Huanglongfu, Ningjiang City, and the ancient city of Dalu to force Wanyan's hometown (now Harbin) to force the main force of the Jin State to fight a decisive battle, and at the same time sweep away all the Jin forces along the way.
The second route was commanded by Xu Huang, with a main force of 100,000, in addition to the 150,000 servant army composed of the main force of the Western Xia troops Bubazi, the samurai and war agent corps in the north of Yingzhou, and the Goryeo transport troops, who were mainly responsible for attacking Huanzhou, Luzhou, and Dingzhou along the Yalu River, and sweeping the Jurchen tribes along the way.
The Jurchen tribe in this vicinity was subdued by the Wanyan tribe during the period when Wanyan Agu beat his grandfather Wanyan Shilu, and their loyalty to the Wanyan tribe was quite high, and many people joined the Jin army, and attacking them was part of shaking the heart of the Jin army.
In many wars, the battle is only the most superficial thing, and many wars in other fields have already started before the battle starts.
For example, Dayu widely preached that this war was only against the Wanyan tribe, not against other Jurchens, and that the people of each tribe were incorporated into the Dayu army on the spot according to the number of troops and the degree of elite, and enjoyed the same official treatment as Dayu, and had rewards; If you can catch the members of the Wanyan clan, you will be rewarded accordingly according to the situation, and those who kill or capture Wanyan alive will be crowned as the Jurchen king.
The strategy of attacking the heart is a common strategy in war, but it is also a very useful strategy.
If the Jin State at this time cried and shouted for his mother like the Liao State that had won many battles in history, then the tribal leaders of these Jin States might not have other ideas, but the current situation is not friendly to the Jin State, especially in the three local wars with Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Lu Yanlun, the Jin State did not get benefits and even suffered a big loss, which was a huge blow to the morale of the Jin people.
When the Jin people faced the Dayu army, they did not have the invincible mentality that they had when they faced the Liao State before.
Wanyan Aguda was keenly aware of this change in mentality.
He knew the prestige that the Wanyan clan had built up over generations, and he wasn't worried that the tribes would betray now, but he also knew that he needed a big victory to prove himself.
Wanyan Aguta led the main force to confront Dong Huang's army in Huanglong Mansion.
Both sides have won and lost each other.
Wanyan Aguta even wanted to replicate the example of the Battle of Hubu Dagang that year, but the invincible Dayu Army, which was full of morale, was not the Liao army, and Wanyan Aguta couldn't rush in at all.
Wanyan Aguta sent troops to fight Dong Huang's army's grain road, but was repelled by Pang De and others.
But Wanyan Agu was not discouraged, after many days of testing, he had discovered many problems with the Dayu Army, but he was still not sure whether these problems were deliberately exposed by the Dayu Army.
Just as Wanyan Aguta was about to test again, Wanyanbu's hometown, on the Mingtong River (Songhua River) near present-day Harbin, a huge fleet with the banner of the Dayu Army launched an attack on the unprepared Wanyanbu and Tudanbu.
