At this time, the end of January is equivalent to the end of February and early March of the Western calendar, and the snow melting season in the northeast has arrived.

The snow melting season every year is about the most troublesome time of the year in the rich Northeast, even exceeding the middle winter when snow falls thousands of miles and is frozen thousands of miles away. Because snow melting will make the roads muddy and difficult to pass. It will cause the water level of the river to soar and cause flooding.

So people who have lived in Tokyo Road, Liao Kingdom for a long time know that before the spring snow melting and muddy season passed, it was inconvenient to travel, let alone marching and fighting.

However, Wu Haogu and Empress Xiao had no way to avoid the snow melting season this time. When Empress Xiao's 50,000 army left Chenzhou and advanced westward, it happened to be late January. Four days later, Wu Haogu also led an army of 80,000 and left Ganzhou to go east. The vanguards of both sides had their first contact on the first day of February.

At the same time, the main forces of both sides marched with the beginning of the snow melting season and the ground was still dry. Finally, on the fourth day of the second month and the fifth day of the second month, they arrived on both sides of the lower tributary of the Liaohe River called Tangwang River north of the Liaohe swamp, and began to camp and confront each other.

At this time, the temperature had risen above the freezing point, and the surface of the Tangwang River began to thaw, leaving only a thin layer of ice cover on the surface, which was impossible to pass and could not cross the river.

Both sides who are unable to fight for the time being can only choose to go to the village at a high place (to prevent being flooded), and at the same time build wooden rafts and wooden boats, preparing to cross the river and fight after the river surface is completely thawed.

On this side, the Republican Army and the Liao Army's more than 100,000 troops confronted the river, as if they were waiting for another major battle to decide life and death. In the rest of the Liaodong battlefield, all aspects of the battle did not idle to wait for the snow melting season to pass by themselves.

The Lushun Battle just destroyed the Liao Kingdom's authority on the rich and fertile Tokyo Tower, and did not decide whether the vast Tokyo Tower belongs to the territory and sometimes it is not the same thing as fighting and grabbing territory! It is not that if you win the battle, the territory will automatically belong to you.

This matter is really complicated. The situation is different in different places, and the methods of grabbing territory are also different.

Now the best way to settle is of course the territory controlled by the central government of the Song Dynasty. Because the Song Dynasty made the exile outside and guard the inside and the imperial examinations, and the emphasis on civil and military affairs was placed on the military, the local tyrants were very weak and there was no wall fortress to rely on.

In "Water Margin", there were thousands of soldiers and horses at every turn, which did not exist in the late Northern Song Dynasty. Otherwise, how could the Jurchens control the Central Plains in a very short time and establish a very effective rule? If there were thousands of farmers in the Central Plains and one farm consumed ten Jurchen lives, the Jurchen nation would become a widow nation, and it would be no wonder.

The most difficult thing to do is of course the territory and prairie of Jurchen. It is useless to win battles. Jurchen and cute ancients are both capable of running away. It is not easy to annihilate other people's vitality.

Moreover, they have a large territory and a small population, so there is no central city to occupy. Large areas of land are undeveloped or have low development value. After hard occupation, they are also used to help poverty alleviation and development.

Therefore, the Central Plains dynasty had no tricks on such remote territory, so it was not unreasonable to use a policy of restraint to rule.

The problem is that the Central Plains dynasty does not have a tool to output ideas and cannot be razed into Xia in a shorter time...

Looking back, let’s talk about Liaodong now. The situation in Liaodong is similar to the situation described in "Water Margin". There are Biwu, the powerful surnamed of the Bohai Sea and the Junzhou of the Khitan nobles.

There is actually not much difference between the two. Junzhou, the head of the territory of Liaodong, is also actually controlled by the powerful surnamed Bohai.

So after the Khitans ran away, the Bohai You surname became the actual controller of most of the land in Liaodong.

On the Liaodong Peninsula, after the blizzard in the early lunar month, the enemy of the Republican Army changed from the Liao army to this group of powerful men with the right surname in the Bohai Sea.

In the original history, although the Jin Dynasty of Aguda destroyed Gao Yongchang's Great Yuan Kingdom (this country name is really good), the Jurchens and the Bohai tribe are very close and have economic complementarity.

Therefore, most of the Bohai powerful people finally integrated into the Jurchen regime. In the Jurchen regime, the Bohai people had a high status and enjoyed national treatment.

However, Wu Haogu's republic regime and Bohai You's surname are a landlord class with different horoscopes and evil characters. Only a few people can be the landlord class! Now Wu Haogu's poor and lower-middle peasant soldiers all want the local lord, so Bohai You's surname must be the landlord...

So there is nothing to say, just fight!

In Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Zhenhai Prefecture, Muzhou, Guizhou, Luzhou (Gui, Luzhou is also on the Liaodong Peninsula and is under the jurisdiction of Chenzhou Fengguo Army), the battle between the Republican Army and the powerful people of the Bohai Sea has never stopped since the fifth and sixth day of the first lunar month!

...

In the cold wind, the old Grand Duke Cauldron, wearing a thick cloak, rode his horse slowly on the coast of Liaohai. He was really listless. Since he was released by Ma Zhi and returned to Guo Yaoshi's army, he looked very heartbroken, as if the end of the world was coming. Riding on the horse's back, he almost curled up in a ball. Occasionally, he coughed a few times, as if he reminded him that the leader of the great clan, he was seriously ill and could not bear the heavy responsibility of reviving the Bohai Sea.

Guo Yaoshi's confidant general Zhen Wuchen followed closely behind the two leading figures of the Da family. He was a Han hero born at the bottom of the class. Guo Yaoshi made friends with him, and was attracted by the Han heroes from the Liaodong who were confidant in Liaodong may not be used by the Ma family, because the Ma family is a wealthy family after all, and they have a lot of children and cannot use them for their own people, so there are not many places to give to heroes from other surnames.

The situation on Gao Yongchang is similar. He often uses the right surname of Bohai. Even a wealthy family like Guo Yaoshi cannot enter his core circle, let alone a Han person like Zhen Wuchen?

The Republican government that just entered has its own military training system, so it is impossible for the Liaodong warriors outside this system to provide too many opportunities.

However, Guo Yaoshi didn’t need the children of powerful men or others, so he gathered around him who wanted to win a wealthy and noble warrior in this troubled times.

However, Guo Yaoshi, who came from a poor family, wanted to become his own power in Liaodong, a society that needed to compete for his ancestors.

I originally thought that there would be a place to be used with the Da Clan royal family, but who would have thought that after the Sword King died, the Da Clan family would be controlled by the old scholar Da Gong Ding, who was afraid of wolves and tigers in front of him. Even the ready-made king did not want to be a ready-made king, but just wanted to live in seclusion in Liaoyang Prefecture.

Without this banner, what should I do if the team that Pharmacist Guo finally pulled up? Will I go and take action for Gao Yongchang?

Dagong Ding and Guangmingjun walked under Zhen Wuchen's escort for a long time. Seeing the sun gradually descent, Guangmingjun said to Dagong Ding: "King..."

Grand Duke Ding interrupted him and said, "Don't call him the king. Now I am not the king of the Bohai tribe, Gao Yongchang is the king."

"Class leader," Guangmingjun changed his name, "Are you let Gao Yongchang do whatever he wants?"

"Come on random?" Grand Duke Ding was stunned, "What's the trick of doing it?"

"You don't know yet?" Guangmingjun said, "Gao Yongchang took down Liaoyang Mansion, and he was so crazy that he was out of reach. The powerful men of the right surname were not serious, and they were all persuading them to come in..."

"Please go in?" Grand Duke Ding smiled, "It's nothing to be a king, but those with virtue can live in it."

"What kind of king should you be? Be the emperor!"

"What? He wants to be the emperor?" Grand Duke Ding was stunned and stunned, "Is he crazy?"

"Oh..." Guangmingjun just shook his head, "It is better to raise the banner to win over the powerful! He is not a royal family, nor does he have the ability of Wu Haogu, nor does he have the tribal warriors of the Wanyan family. He has no foundation to keep a low profile!"

"This is a way to give someone a handle!" Grand Duke Ding shook his head repeatedly, "Wu Haogu is the leader of Liaodong and Dongjiao. He didn't even become the emperor, so Gao Yongchang took the lead.

Moreover, he is a king and can join forces with the Wanyan family. Once he becomes the emperor, even if he is attacked by Wu Haogu, Wanyan Agu will not save him! He is seeking death, and we, the people of Bohai, are going to finish..."

Now Aguda cannot be called king. If Gao Yongchang becomes emperor, Aguda will be younger than him. Can't send troops to save him?

The Grand Duke Ding paused: "What should Pharmacist Guo do?"

Guangmingjun shook his head repeatedly, "I don't know! Now that he has occupied Chenzhou City, there are powerful people who have been driven out of their homes by the Republican army to join us every day. The team has expanded quite quickly, but the future is bleak!"

Guo Yaoshi is now affiliated with Gao Yongchang's name and has just occupied Chenzhou City, which was abandoned by Xiao Sesse. The territory is a good territory, but can the Republican Army tolerate him? Now the Republican Army is busy "double landlords" on the Liaodong Peninsula and has no time to deal with him. After finishing this formation, will the soldiers be wiped out as soon as they arrive?

As for joining the Republic, Wu Haogu could tolerate him, and a group of ruined landlords with the right surname of Bohai who defected to Guo Yaoshi would not agree!

"Then I will give you a guide!" said the Grand Duke Ding.

"Who to join?"

Grand Duke Ding gritted his teeth: "Da Liao! Your Majesty is still near Qianzhou and is confronting Wu Haogu. If we can go to the same place, we will definitely receive preferential treatment."

"What?"

Both Guangmingjun and Zhen Wuchen couldn't believe their ears.

Now the market in Daliao is so bad, isn’t you looking for death if you go to like each other?

Yelu Yanxi didn't know that he was wrong, so he actually stayed north of the Liaohe swamp to confront Wu Haogu... What's the difference between this and dying?

...

"Empress Dowager, you can't go! Wu Haogu is a tiger and wolf. If you go to see him, what's the difference between it and a sheep entering the tiger's mouth?"

"Yes, what should we do if something happens to you? Who are the 50,000 men here fighting for?"

At the same time, in the imperial tent of the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty near Qianzhou, Xiao Wuna, Xiao Taosuo and Yelu Dabei Nu were struggling to persuade the Empress Dowager Xiao Sesse.
