Chapter 358 Beijin Trends
Jiuxiao City, the Imperial Capital of Northern Jin Dynasty
Since the Jin Kingdom started large-scale conscription, there has been an atmosphere in Jiuxiao City that a storm is about to come.
In an inner hall of the palace, three figures were sparsely sitting. In the center of the hall, Emperor Wanyan Honglie of the Northern Jin Dynasty was walking back and forth, cursing angrily from time to time.
One of the three people sitting had an old face, leaning on a gold-headed crutch, looking forward with squinted eyes motionless. This person was none other than Yelucai, the national master of Beijin.
There was another man who was burly and in his prime, with a majestic air slowly revealed between his eyebrows. His full head of brown hair was tied up and pinned behind his head. His face was very similar to Wanyan Honglie's.
This man was the younger brother of Wanyan Honglie's mother, Prince Long Wanyan Aguda, who was also the highest-ranking military commander in Beijin and won Wanyan Honglie's trust.
Another middle-aged man had a shaved head, with only his sideburns tied into two braids that naturally drooped down his cheeks. His eyes were stern, and he was wearing the attire of the Beijin royal family.
The bald man was Wan Yanliang, the military marshal of the Northern Jin Dynasty stationed in Liaodong. After the Northern Liang army invaded Shunzhou, Wan Yanliang rushed back to the capital to report the military situation.
One characteristic of Beijin is that most of the military power is in the hands of the royal family, so the main generals basically have the surname Wanyan.
The three of them were silent and silent. Wanyan Honglie's curses could only be heard floating in the hall.
"This idiot Tie Kemu captured all 50,000 people in two days! Even if the Beiliang Army captured 50,000 pigs in two days, they wouldn't be able to catch them all!"
"Have those 30,000 cavalry been at ease for too long? They can't even fight! When has our Kingdom of Jin ever suffered such a disastrous defeat!"
"And those red-headed soldiers are all useless, they can't do anything except eating, drinking, whoring and gambling!"
"The Beiliang Army is really arrogant. They dare to build two palaces to challenge the majesty of our Jin Kingdom! This is intolerable!"
The dignified Emperor of the Jin Kingdom was like a scolding shrew at this time, scolding whatever he said was unpleasant.
After a long time, Wanyan Honglie finally calmed down and returned to his dragon bed, leaning back to catch his breath.
"Wanyan Liang, can you tell me about the current situation in Liaodong?" Seeing that the emperor became quiet, Wanyan Aguda said with a serious expression.
Wanyan Honglie also straightened up a little, and said with a very ugly face: "Let's tell you all the bad news together."
"Your Majesty, Prince Huilong." Wan Yanliang stood up with a bright forehead and said respectfully: "When I left Liaodong, the Beiliang Army had already begun to attack other cities in Shunzhou. In view of the fact that the remaining guards in Shunzhou were
There are only red-headed soldiers. Therefore, Weichen decided not to send troops to reinforce Shunzhou, but to let Yanzhou and Tanzhou hold the pass to prevent the Northern Liang Army from further expansion. Currently, more than 100,000 troops in Liaodong are being urgently mobilized."
When he heard that Shunzhou had been abandoned, Wanyan Honglie frowned and waved his hand gently: "Second brother, tell me your opinion."
The second brother naturally referred Prince Long to Wanyan Agu for beating. Wanyanliang heard the displeasure in the emperor's tone and felt a little nervous.
Wanyan Aguda said in a deep voice: "It is okay to abandon Shunzhou. Beiliang is well prepared. It is difficult for us to hastily send out reinforcements to achieve a complete victory. On the contrary, it will reduce our own strength. At present, we should try our best to compress the Beiliang army in Shunzhou."
Inside the land, wait for the army to be integrated before planning the funeral!"
Hearing that Prince Long had rescued him, Wanyan Liang breathed a long sigh of relief. Although they were both from the royal family, the weight of his words and Wanyan Aguda's words were completely different.
After hearing this, Wanyan Honglie calmed down a little, frowned and looked at the Imperial Advisor Ye Lucai: "Didn't Yan Rong agree to send troops to attack Beiliang Dao? It's already been half a month since spring, so it's time to leave, right?"
Yelucai bowed slightly and said: "Yan Rong has sent people to deliver messages many times. The men, horses, food and grass have almost been gathered, and we are preparing to send troops!"
"Send someone to urge them again!" Wanyan Honglie was a little unhappy: "These Yanrong barbarians are dragging their feet. If I hadn't pointed out that they could involve the Zhou Dynasty's border troops, I wouldn't have given them a good look."
"No!" Yelucai nodded.
"How is the war in Pinghan Road? Is there any news from Wanyanchang?" After chatting about the war in Liaodong, Wanyan Honglie began to care about the war on the eastern front. In his heart, Hanzhou was more important.
"Third brother has captured eight cities in Hanzhou. The army is currently stationing troops on the front line of Hanzhou City, forming a confrontation with the surrounding armies. The old man from the Chang family is indeed a bit tricky. It should be difficult to capture Hanzhou City in the short term." Wanyan Agu replied.
.
Wanyanchang, King Wuzhao of the Northern Jin Dynasty, was the third brother of Wanyan Honglie.
Wanyan Honglie seemed to have expected it. He leaned slightly on the back of his chair and said in a questioning tone: "Wanyanchang has brought 150,000 people. The Chang family is an old rival, and the 200,000 frontier troops still have
Those with two brushes cannot win easily. How about letting the 200,000 troops stationed in the capital go to the front line and completely defeat the Chang family?"
The 150,000 people sent by the Northern Jin Dynasty to Pinghan Road were actually not the entire main force. There were still a large number of soldiers gathered in the capital.
As soon as he heard Yan Honglie's words, the face of the national counselor Yelucai changed and he said: "No, Kyoto is an important place for the country, and the army must not move lightly. Yan Rong seems to be united with us, but according to the veteran's opinion, Yan Rong will follow the great army
I’m afraid all the princes are so ambitious, they are much more dangerous than the Zhou Dynasty!”
"What does the Imperial Master mean?" Wanyan Honglie frowned.
"We must be on guard against others. We should wait until Yanrong sends out a large number of troops to attack Beiliang before we make any plans!" Yelucai said in a deep voice.
Wanyan Aguda on the side also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that the two people he trusted the most said so, Wanyan Honglie had no choice but to give up his plan.
Wan Yanliang asked cautiously: "Does Liaodong need to send reinforcements?"
Wanyan Honglie held his head with one hand and fell into thinking.
Upon seeing this, Wanyan Aguda said: "I think Liaodong should be in a defensive posture as a whole. Once Yan Rong sends troops to Beiliang, the Beiliang army will definitely send troops to come back for reinforcements. When the time comes, we will send troops to recover Shunzhou, it will be easy!"
As the coach of the Jin Army, Wanyan Agu said in one sentence the best choice for Beijin at present.
Wanyanliang and Yelucai also quite agreed.
Only Wanyan Honglie was still frowning in thought. After a moment, the Emperor of Northern Jin had a look of anger on his face and said: "No matter when Yan Rong will send troops to Beiliang, the Northern Liang army will provoke me to attack Dajin."
We must not sit idly by and ignore it! Aren't we, the Jin people and the cavalry, no better than those cowards of the Zhou Dynasty?"
Wanyan Agu's heart sank. It seemed that his brother was determined to be beaten.
"Wanyan Liang!" Wanyan Honglie shouted: "You should still have hundreds of thousands of cavalry and hundreds of thousands of red-headed soldiers in Liaodong. I will give you another 30,000! You should remember to me the majesty of our golden cavalry.
, we will never let Xiaoxiao trample us! If we can’t defeat the Beiliang Army, you will come to see us with your head raised!”
Wanyan Honglie's words aroused the warlike spirit of the Beijin royal family, and he said with a ferocious smile: "Don't worry, Your Majesty! I will make sure that Beiliangxiao will never come back!"
