Wanyan Agu's thug pressed against the tree, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He looked at the sky warily, wiped his mouth in a hurry, and returned to the team.
He could not vomit blood in front of the soldiers, as that would cause huge damage to morale. He could only relieve himself and hide aside, spit out the blood, and then hurriedly returned to the main army, for fear of being chased by "Zuo Ming" again.
He was worried about this in vain. Li Yanzheng chatted with Lin Lingsu and predicted the Jin Army's next movements.
"What do we do next?"
Wanyan Aguda was also thinking about this issue. He looked at the soldiers riding silently behind him. Although he could not say that he was dejected, it was already far different from the initial state of Xuanheruhuo.
The light cavalry indeed comes and goes like the wind and is difficult to catch. It takes advantage of mobility to the extreme, but it also consumes a lot of physical strength. After all, human physical strength and energy have limits. If you fight for a long time, you will be exhausted and your spirit will be tense.
The frightened bird finally became trapped and exhausted, and lost its former fighting power.
In addition, people eat horse chews, which consumes a lot of food and grass. Since the capture of Huanglong Mansion, the Jin people have also gathered the population of the Liao Kingdom in various ways. They are all hungry for food, so even these elite cavalry can't even talk about food.
How good is it.
Let’s look at the Yan army’s 20,000 main elite troops and 10,000 auxiliary troops stationed around Liaoyang Prefecture. The rear is constantly being replenished with supplies and meat. They are all strong and strong, and they rarely fight.
I would rather play Cuju in the military camp and cultivate a tacit understanding than go out to fight. No matter how deep the temptation is, I will not be fooled. I will stand out and build a fortress that is as immovable as a mountain...
What's even more exaggerated is that based on the characteristics of the Jin cavalry, the Ministry of Industry in the rear is constantly developing new equipment. For example, after experiencing the hundreds of crossbows just now, sneak attacks on the grain transport team will be as exciting as opening a blind box. The Jin people
The cavalry rushed over, not knowing what they would face.
"It is completely impossible to cut off the grain roads and seize grain and grass. We can no longer compete with the Yan army!"
Wanyan Aguda's eyes were full of bitterness.
There is a huge gap in national power between Yan and Jin. If he had a choice, how could he be in a stalemate with the other party? Isn't it just because there is no other way that he ends up in this situation?
That leaves one last option.
"Destroy Liao?"
Huanglong Mansion Yamen, Wanyan Hudai, Wanyan Husai, Wanyan Loushi and other generals gathered together. First, they felt heavy for the emergence of the new equipment Bainulianji, and then their expressions changed for this decision.

Wanyan led the way: "Brother Wang, the destruction of the Liao Kingdom is now a foregone conclusion, but if we take action and take advantage of the following crimes, it will be difficult to rule the remaining people..."
All the generals nodded.
When King Xi returned to Libao and supported a new king, Emperor Tianzuo, who was living in the capital, failed to send troops to quickly destroy him. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Liao Kingdom was over.
There is only an empty shell left of this powerful northern country. All the tribes and tribes under its command are alienated and idly watching, let alone other ethnic groups. The Khitan people are busy looking for a way out. This is a very obvious disintegration.
However, Emperor Tianzuo, Xiao Fengxian and other important ministers did not take any measures to persuade them to stay, so they just sat back and watched. Now the Yan army and the Jin army are fighting on the territory of the Liao Kingdom. These monarchs and ministers do not even dare to fart. If the country is not destroyed, what else is there?
Will the country be destroyed?
Having said that, there is still something to be said for who is the last person to overthrow the Liao Kingdom.
The Jin people were unwilling anyway. As old people, they were about to regard themselves as loyal ministers of the Liao State. After the other party was torn apart, they took over the legacy of the Liao State. If the Jin State destroyed the Liao State, it would definitely be the benefit of the Yan State...
Wanyan Agu said: "This is a bad idea, but we have no choice. If we continue to fight against the Yan army, we will be exhausted and our combat power will decline. If we can't even defeat the Liao army, we will be completely finished!"
"Now our Jin army has no difficulty in defeating the Liao people. The only advantage we have over the Yan State is that we were also Liao people in the past, which can make the clan leaders of various tribes favor us more!"
"As long as we seize the inventory of Shangjing and obtain the reserves of food, grass, armor and equipment to win over people's hearts and reward various ministries, we can still survive!"
Wanyan Osai whispered: "I'm afraid that by now, Liao's treasury has been emptied by those greedy Khitan nobles..."
Wanyan Aguda said coldly: "Then kill him!"
Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.
Killing the Khitan nobles was indeed a pleasure, and it avenged the oppression of the Jurchens in the past, but this was completely ignoring the future and only focusing on the immediate strategy. After all, even outside the Great Wall, it is not wise to use killing to deter all tribes.
The other departments are not fools either...
Wanyan Aguda continued: "It's not just about killing, you have to kill and reward at the same time. Next, you have to contact the various ministries. Just like when Goryeo was destroyed and its treasury was used to bribe all parties, we will do the same this time!"
Everyone suddenly understood, and they tried their best to say something, but in the end they still said: "Yes!"
Wanyan Aguda sighed, and knew what they wanted to say: "I know that after the destruction of Goryeo, the Jurchen tribes did not receive much reward, and there were complaints within each tribe, but the Yan State pressed forward step by step and regarded us as a formidable enemy.
, only in this way can we gain a glimmer of hope and allow all races to endure it a little longer..."
Just as he was talking, an announcement came from outside: "The second prince is back!"
Wanyan Aguda's eyes lit up: "It's just the right time to come back!"
Not long after, a young man walked in quickly. Among the Jurchens, he had a rare plump face. He was Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Wanyan Aguda. Behind him was a short child. He was the youngest of Wanyan Aguda at present.
His son Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Aguda couldn't care about this little one and looked at Wanyan Zongwang: "What did Xixia say?"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "The Emperor of Xixia was afraid of King Yan, had many concerns, and was unwilling to form an alliance, but he was very interested in the carving up of the Liao land that his father said."
Wanyan Aguda said: "When Emperor Tianzuo returned to the country, he once plundered territory from Xixia to make up for his failure in the southern expedition. The Xixia king suffered such a big loss and the country was in turmoil. He must be eager for the power of Liao.
land!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Instead of the agreement, the three families were divided into Liao Dynasties. Our country of Jin took the Liaodong and Shangjing Road, Xixia took the Xijing Road, and the Zhongjing bordering the Yan Kingdom was taken by King Xi and
The Khitan remnants occupy it."
"This is urgent, you go now!"
Wanyan Zongwang accepted the order: "Yes!"
Seeing this man turn and leave, Wanyan Wushu became a little anxious: "Father, Brother Wang just came back, why did you let him go again?"
Wanyan Aguda rubbed his youngest son's head: "Because our country of Jin is weak, everyone is working hard to make the country strong, and your brother Wang is no exception. He has to hold on no matter how tired he is!"
Wanyan Wushu clenched his little fists: "When I grow up, I will definitely help my father and brother Wang to strengthen the Kingdom of Jin!"
Wanyan Aguda finally showed a smile: "Okay! As long as the spirit of my Jurchen struggle in the white mountains and black waters is passed down from generation to generation, one day, the Yan State will defeat Dajin!"
…
"The main force of the Jin army turned to the capital. They couldn't hold back and wanted to take the lead in destroying the Liao Dynasty. The news just came that Xixia also seems to be making moves. It seems that it also wants to carve up the Liao Kingdom with the Jin people and King Xi."
In Liaoyang Mansion, Hua Rong looked at the many generals in the hall.
Suo Chao snorted and said in a disdainful tone: "Three families are divided into Liao Dynasties, do they deserve it?"
Guan Sheng said: "Although the Kingdom of Jin has always been at a disadvantage, the monarchs and ministers are united and cannot be underestimated. The trained Jin army is an elite, with light cavalry coming and going like the wind. Our army cannot slack off in the slightest, and Xixia... is indeed not self-sufficient.
It’s up to your ability!”
Other generals also had similar views.
Xixia was actually a country that started at its peak. Although Li Yuanhao had extremely poor personal ethics. He killed his mother, killed his wife, and took over his daughter-in-law. He had done all the dirty things in the harem, but he had to admit that he was quite capable in the military.
, the victory over Song and Liao made Xixia successfully found its country and established the Three Kingdoms.
But since Li Yuanhao was unhappy and was killed by his own son, Xixia's military has been declining. In the Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong dynasties, he was repeatedly taught by the Song army, and was even killed under the royal capital, and almost lost the country.
Later, Empress Dowager Xiaoliang wiped out all the elites in a battle, drank poisonous wine and returned to the West. Xixia also entered an unprecedented period of emptiness. Historically, the Hengshan strategy was successful in the Huizong Dynasty. If the Jin people did not rise, Xixia would really be in danger of subjugation.
, but after considering Song Huizong’s crotch pulling, he should still be able to survive.
Now that Song Huizong has become the last emperor of Song Dynasty, his posthumous title can basically be determined to be Song Lizong, and the world situation has changed drastically.
The only elite Western Army, after Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao committed suicide, chose to surrender and return to the northwest border to reunite with their families.
At the same time, Yan Ting appointed Liu Fa as the commander of the Anxi Army and Liu Zhongwu as the commander of the Pingding Army. After the various departments of the Western Army were disarmed and returned to their fields, they selected elites and armed them.
The two veterans of the Western Army originally thought that they would still focus on guarding and preventing Xixia from invading the border. But when Shi Jin led the Hengshan Qiang to surrender, they suddenly realized that their long-cherished wish might be coming true.
Xixia's military power was prematurely depleted, and the country was unequal. Now the most important strategic barrier, Hengshan, was acquired by the Yan State. So what else was there?
That is to say, King Yan's focus has always been on the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong, and he will not take care of the northwest for the time being. Otherwise, a strong army will march forward and advance slowly. He dare not guarantee it in a short time. Within five years, he will definitely destroy it.
Hua Rong considered it comprehensively: "Perhaps it was because the Xixia country was weak and in danger that the Xixia king did this."
Suo Chao, who was in the first phase of Sui'an, had heard many examples and nodded: "It is better to divert internal conflicts and strive for a chance of survival by making profits from external territories than to sit back and wait for death. So Xixia is really capable
We must guard against those who interfere!"
Hua Rong's thinking is very clear. What is most needed to fight a stupid war is this: "Our duty is to stabilize Liaodong. We will report this matter to the capital as soon as possible. Please make your decision."
The imperial edict from the capital arrived soon. Hua Rong saw it and passed it on to the left and right, completely stabilizing the morale of the army: "Your Majesty ordered the Yongning army to go north and stationed at the border of western Liaoning. If the Xixia people dared to shoot an arrow at our Yan army, they were defeated and destroyed."
