In the Forbidden Ming Hall, the Gonggun princes gathered around a sand table to discuss the Youyan war.
Yang Lin held a small bamboo pole, pointed to a high point on the sand table, and said: "This is Juyong Pass, connected to Tanzhou by the Great Wall, and further down is Yizhou Prefecture. This line of defense is our defense line.
I built it with my own hands back then, with dense fortresses and numerous fortifications, so you don’t have to worry.”
Yang Lin was very confident that if this place could block the Jurchens once, it could block them a second time. Once it had blocked them two or three times, the domestic economy had improved and the New Deal had begun to take effect, it was time to fight back.
This time, he is not even going to go to Youyan to supervise the war. In the Han Dynasty, a qualified commander is someone who can appoint good generals. This is different from the alien races that have risen in the grassland. Almost every generation of overlords in the grassland can personally lead
They are fierce generals who fight with each other. Therefore, the hegemony they gained through force will come and go quickly, and will soon be replaced by other tribes that are poorer, more fierce, and more desperate.
Chief Prime Minister Bai Shizhong said with a smile: "With Yang Shaozai's layout, the Youyan area must be as strong as a mountain, but the Khitan sent people here a few days ago to urge us to send troops and horses as soon as possible to help them defend Hongzhou."
"Hongzhou?" Yang Lin curled his lips and asked: "It seems that Yelv Dashi is worried that the Jurchens will attack in the east and west. On the surface, they are coming to attack our Song Dynasty, but secretly they are diverted to attack the Khitan. Hahaha, is this really unreasonable?
"Halfway through Yang Lin's words, his expression suddenly became solemn and he stared at Hongzhou carefully.
"Think about it, will Wanyan Aguda really go to fight the Khitan?"
Everyone present shook their heads. Bai Shizhong glanced at the sand table and said, "Perhaps the Khitan people were afraid of the Jurchens' ferocity and wanted our Song Dynasty troops to station, so they were pretending to be so impressive. The Jurchens and the Song Dynasty had a blood feud that was not avenged.
, and secretly negotiated peace with the Khitan, and made it known to the whole world, who cares about the life and death of the Khitan."
"We don't care, but it's impossible for the Jurchens to not care. As long as the Yunzhou court is here, they will not go south with peace of mind." Yang Lin frowned and said: "Soldiers have to be cautious in national affairs. Why not let Yao Pingzhong, then
Taking the Western Army to Yunzhou Mansion can be considered as a reassurance for both parties."
If there is no military involvement, Yang Shaozai will be "as timid as a mouse". Anyone who knows him well knows this, and everyone is not surprised.
Anyway, the Western Army will not be needed for a while, so just transfer it to the Khitan. The army left Yanmen Pass and arrived in less than three to five days. It is very convenient to advance and retreat.
Yang Lin grabbed the high handle next to him and said: "When I give the order, I send a secret message to Yao Pingzhong. Don't forget Haosheng Surveying and Mapping for the maps along the way."
Gao Bing nodded slightly, feeling a little funny in his heart. Yang Shaozai was really a thief.
After Yelu Dashi came to power, how could he deploy troops and horses like Yelu Yanxi? The previous map would definitely be of no use.
The two men and horses fought side by side, even if Yelu Dashi wanted to hide, he couldn't.
Yang Lin must take back this land in the clouds, otherwise he will be sorry to his ancestors. ——
Yongning Village almost hangs over the top of the Hongzhou City Fortress, with the Sanggan River at its back. There is only a very steep and narrow mountain road in front of it. On Yongning Village, using strong bows and crossbows alone can not only prevent the enemy from advancing even an inch, but also
It can radiate the entire Hongzhou Fortress and is the last and strongest support here.
Yelu Dashi personally bent down and carried the stones up to the city, encouraging the local people and soldiers who were extremely tired. He was strong, and he moved a few stones without blushing or out of breath. He patted the soil on his hands, raised his hands to cover the sun and looked into the distance.
.
A man from afar came back to camp and went straight to the city tower. He saw Yelu Dashi kneeling on the ground and said: "Your Majesty, we have the latest battle report."
Yelu Dashi quickly stood up straight. The spy took out a secret message from his arms and handed it to him.
Yelu Dashi unfolded the secret letter. Above it was a sign specially used by Yuanlanzi to convey messages. Yelu Dashi had long been familiar with it.
After closing the secret letter, Yelu Dashi sneered again and again. This Jurchen really had to destroy Daliao.
It sounds right to say that there was a feud between the Song and Jin Dynasties, but it was just a few battles, but the Liao Dynasty had enslaved and oppressed this small tribe in the northeast corner for hundreds of years.
There is no Jurchen in any movie whose ancestors died at the hands of Liao officials. Every time they went there, they either killed people for no reason or raped women. What Liao officials did in the Jurchen tribe was also quite extraordinary.
Yelu Abaoji began to pass through Liaodong in 903, gradually encroaching on the Bohai Kingdom, and began to conquer the Jurchens. After Liao Shengzong came to the throne, the Liao Dynasty began to clean up the Jurchens in the Northeast. For more than ten years in a row, every year it was like hunting, and the rate of
The soldiers went to kill the Jurchens in order to brutally control the Jurchen population.
Emperor Shizong of the Liao Dynasty sent the privy envoy Yelv Xiezhen to attack the Jurchens, and captured a population of 100,000 Jurchens and 200,000 horses in just one operation. While plundering wildly, the Liao Dynasty also forced the Jurchens to attack a large number of local products, such as mink skins and ginseng.
, Beizhu and Haidongqing. Especially Haidongqing and Haidongqing are regarded as the totem of life by the Jurchens.
It is a pity that the totem Jurchen is not worthy of possessing it. Even if he risked his life to capture it, he will give it to the Liao people for fun.
The Khitan people also invented a term, which is to ask the Jurchens to "recommend pillows". The so-called "recommended pillows" is actually a somewhat elegant way of saying it, but the actual practice was that the Liao envoys forced Jurchen women to sleep with them.
At the beginning, in order not to anger the Liao envoys, the Jurchen tribe leaders would send some girls from lower-class families to the Liao envoys. However, over time, the Liao people found this kind of play uninteresting, so they simply committed rape themselves.
The business of robbing women from good families, because the envoys of the Liao Kingdom usually wore a silver plate to show their status as envoys, so these people were called "silver angels" by the Jurchen people.
Putting up this sign, in the Jurchen tribe, you can really do whatever you want.
Now the Jurchens have unleashed all their grievances over the years and doubled their revenge on the Liao people.
The hatred between Liao and Jin was deeper than that between Song and Jin, not to mention the resistance of the people of Liao.
Yelu Dashi did not believe from the bottom of his heart that Wanyan Aguda, a powerful man, would avenge his brother and abandon Yunzhou to attack the Song Dynasty first.
From the beginning, he was certain that the Jin people's goal in going south was him, and he never wavered.
A battle report came from the front, saying that the traitor Yelu Yu saw had led the Khitan vassal army of the Jin Kingdom to attack the Great Wall outside Tanzhou City.
Yelu Yujian? He is just a surrendered general. Where is the real main force of the Jurchens?
A gust of cold wind blew. Yelu Dashi raised his eyes and looked at the far barrier in front of him and said: "Expand the scope of the sentinel's activities and go further north for twenty miles."
