Chapter 100: The Great Cause of the Northern Expedition

Du Chongwei comforted: "Liu Tingshi, you don't have to be sad, in a few days, my army of the Great Jin Dynasty will definitely recover the sixteen states of Yanyun." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

After hearing this, Liu Yanzuo immediately stopped sobbing, held Du Chongwei's hand, and said, "Lord Taiwei, it's been ten years! Xiaguan is for Yingzhou, no, it is the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures who thank you. ”

Du Chongwei responded softly, remembering how Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were lost ten years ago, and sighed silently in his heart: "I knew now, why bother at the beginning." If it wasn't for the ghosts back then, how could they give the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans for nothing. Now that he has a heavy army in his hands and the emperor's holy decree, he will do his best to reintegrate the land north of Yingmo into the territory of the Jin Kingdom!"

Liu Yanzuo let go of his hand and said, "Lord Taiwei, although the privy envoy has a gap with the Jin State, it is all in the past, and it is not enough to talk about it. When Xia Guan went to Beijing, he once met Lord Zhao alone. Lord Zhao is always concerned about the old country garden in his heart, and hopes to come back again one day. ”

After hearing this, Du Chongwei said excitedly: "If Zhao Yanshou wants to come back, I Dajin welcomes him at any time." ”

Liu Yanzuo pondered for a moment and said: "Lord Taiwei, Lord Zhao, as the privy envoy of the Khitan, nominally holds the military power of the Khitan, but in fact he has no real power. The main force of the Khitan Southern Expedition was composed of three battalions, the front, middle and rear, and the commander of each battalion was the actual holder of military power. The soldiers and horses of the rest of the Khitan tribes were controlled by the kings of the north and south. These people are all relatives of the emperor, but Lord Zhao is Han. Every time Yelu Deguang discussed military affairs, it was difficult for Lord Zhao to say a sentence or two. Over the years, the depression in Lord Zhao's heart can be imagined. ”

Du Chongwei nodded and said, "Although the old man is in a different situation from him, he can understand the difficulties in his heart. Since he can't get the trust of the Khitan monarchs and ministers, he still has to go! However, Zhao Yanshou was in the Khitan military camp at this time, surrounded by Khitan soldiers, and it was probably not easy to retreat at this time. ”

Liu Yanzuo said: "That's what Lord Zhao meant. He went out with the army this time, but fortunately, the Khitan army retreated not far away, and the garrison of the army was only a few dozen miles away from Yingzhou. After the official returned, he tried to get in touch with Lord Zhao, and took him to Yingzhou City under the pretext of having an urgent military situation. Although the Khitan Emperor is suspicious by nature, at a critical moment, he may still let Lord Zhao wait for the cavalry to come to the rescue. The army of Taiwei has arrived in the city, and those Khitan soldiers are the opponents of the Jin army. At that time, the officials will definitely open the city gate and lead the people of the whole city on the avenue to welcome the arrival of my Great Jin Wangshi. After the army rested for a while, we led our troops north, and more than 100,000 troops rushed to the Khitan camp. If the Khitan knew each other, they would flee in the wilderness, and if they were still stubborn, they would kill him without leaving a piece of armor. ”

When those generals heard Liu Yanzuo's inspiring words, they all became excited, and shouted loudly: "Kill him without leaving a piece of armor!

Liu Yanzuo saw that everyone was emotional, and said, "Generals, the lower officials will go back to Yingzhou to prepare." The lower official assures you that when the Great Jin army enters the border of Yingzhou, there will not be a single person who will resist along the way. ”

Du Chongwei held his hand and said: "Yanzuo, if this matter can be done, the old man will definitely start the emperor, and when the time comes, the high-ranking officials will definitely enjoy it inexhaustibly." ”

Liu Yanzuo said in a solemn voice: "Lord Taiwei, how can Xia Guan be a villain of that kind of force. What the lower officials did was nothing more than what a person who had no conscience should do. No matter how things succeed or fail, the lower officials must do their best and die!"

Du Chongwei nodded approvingly, and repeated in his mouth: "Okay! Okay! With your words, the old man will rest assured!"

Liu Yanzuo bowed to the people in the room again, and then quietly left through the back door.

Du Chongwei saw Liu Yanzuo go downstairs, saw him get on the horse alone, and quickly headed towards the city gate. The soldiers defending the city received Du Chongwei's acquiescence, and did not embarrass him, watching his back disappear into the vast mountains.

After Liu Yanzuo left, Du Chongwei picked up his wine glass and said with a smile: "Generals, before the old man set out on the expedition, the emperor told us a thousand times that we must recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and block the shortcut to the south of the Khitan. The emperor lived up to his wishes, and this time he could finally get what he wanted. ”

Zhang Yanze echoed: "Lord Taiwei, we won the first battle of the army, and retreated the Khitan soldiers without a fight, if we can take advantage of the situation to defeat the Khitan army again and recover the land north of Yanshan, it is indeed a miracle for the ages!"

Liang Hanzhang and Song Yanyun glanced at each other and did not answer. Wang Qingruo said worriedly: "Lord Taiwei, we don't know much about the Khitan, and based on Liu Yanzuo's words alone, how can we conclude that Zhao Yanshou is at odds with the Khitan monarchs and ministers?"

Du Chongwei hadn't opened his mouth yet, but he heard Zhang Yanze say: "Brother Wang, you have come to ruin the fun again." Lord Taiwei has his own sense of proportion in his heart!" Wang Qingzheng wanted to refute, but Du Chongwei got up and said: "General Wang, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if we miss it, we will regret it for the rest of our lives." ”

Wang Qing choked up and said, "Lord Taiwei, the elite divisions of the Great Jin are all in our hands. If we are unfortunate enough to fall into the scheme, the Great Jin will be doomed. ”

Du Chongwei sighed and said, "General Wang, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were lost in the hands of the old man, as long as the old man has a breath of air, he must take it back." In this way, we are worthy of the people of the world. Otherwise, the old man will be stinking for 10,000 years. ”

Wang Qing knew that Taiwei had made up his mind, so he silently stepped aside and didn't say anything more.

Du Chongwei looked at Liang Hanzhang and asked: "Hanzhang, the old man originally thought that he would fight against the Khitan in Yingzhou, so he begged the emperor to appoint you as the envoy of the northern horse army to help me." Previously, I planned to ask you to send 5,000 troops to recover the Sikou Pass first, and then our army would drive straight in. Now that Liu Yanzuo and Zhao Yanshou want to surrender to our Great Jin, we don't have to think hard and concentrate our troops on the Sikou Pass. ”

Liang Hanzhang got up and said: "Lord Taiwei, my subordinates have asked Dog Hairong to enter Yingzhou in advance to investigate the truth, if what Liu Yanzuo said is true, then we will directly wave our army to the north, if he deliberately lures our army into the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, then we should stay put." ”

Du Chongwei leaned forward and asked curiously, "Han Zhang, what you said is good." I don't know if Hairong's nephew has heard any news?" Liang Hanzhang said ashamedly: "Lord Taiwei, the dog is not doing well, and he still hasn't said a word back. ”

Song Yanyun and Liang Hanzhang are world friends, listening to his words, he was slightly shocked in his heart, worried that Liang Hairong would suffer an accident, so he asked with concern: "Hanzhang, when did Hairong go?
