Seven hundred and thirtieth eight chapters Tong Gaoli
After the Shenyang Mansion was captured, the surrounding area was quickly cleared. The area was vast and sparsely populated, and there were almost no remaining Jurchen soldiers and horses.
The numerical disadvantage is the Jurchen's biggest disadvantage. They do not have the strength to hold on to such a vast land, so they can only concentrate.
Otherwise, the Song Dynasty's army would uproot them. Fortunately, this is also their advantage, as they don't have to defend every place.
Because this place is not the Central Plains after all. There are not that many cities. If you don't defend one, it will become a stronghold.
Thousands of miles of fertile land here are flat plains, and foreigners don't have to worry about this. In wars outside the pass, complete victory can often be achieved with the victory of a single battle.
The Jurchens destroyed the Liao Dynasty so quickly that the victory was completely established after the battle at Hubu Dagang.
When Yang Lin arrived in Shenyang, he had already captured the entire Liaoyang Prefecture and opened up a piece of land bordering Korea in the Baozhou area.
The Central Plains Dynasty once again bordered Goryeo. More than two hundred years had passed.
These two hundred years, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, were two hundred years when the Hu people in the north were unprecedentedly powerful.
The Khitan unified the entire northern territory, and its territory was several times larger than that of the Song Dynasty.
On the other side of the Yalu River, the Korean soldiers were huddled inside their fortifications and had no idea of the situation outside.
When someone came to communicate with them holding the banner of the Song Army, sharp arrows were shot at them.
"Thief!"
The Song Army messenger screamed, and then found that these arrows were soft and had little power.
After they were pushed aside, the leader cursed: "These birdmen regard us as the Jurchen Tatars. They are really a bunch of trash, not even a single head is exposed."
After they got close, they fired arrows. When they were far away, they couldn't hear their shouts. The few Song soldiers who sent the message were helpless.
The leading qiaoqi is named Zhao Hong. He is the commander of the Qingqi Commandery under Han Shizhong and is in charge of more than 30 sentinels.
All those who serve as sentinels are the best of the best, selected from each battalion.
Zhao Hong spread his hands and said: "Damn it, we are in bad luck. If we go back at this time, we will be scolded, and if not, our money will be deducted."
"Deduct money?!" When the subordinates heard this, they quickly shook their heads and said, "You must send in the news no matter what."
In the team, a tall and thick military man jumped forward on his horse and shouted: "We are from the Song Dynasty!"
Another burst of lethality was not very lethal, but it was like a rain of arrows to persuade him to retreat. He was so angry that he yelled and cursed.
Zhao Hong's group of people folded their arms and watched his joke. When he came back, a group of people were discussing under the tree.
Zhao Hongdao: "For our current plan, we can only deliver the news by going in at night and pulling out the outpost."
"How can it be so simple?"
Zhao Hongdao: "Look at this outpost, aren't you familiar with it? This is the work of us Song people. We know ourselves and our enemies, so what's the problem?"
At night, under the dark clouds, several figures walked slowly from the water to the outpost along the remaining wooden piles under the demolished pontoon.
The river water was freezing cold. After a few people came ashore, they touched the post and quickly took control of the Zhengege post.
The ghostly sighting frightened the Koreans at the outpost, and they surrendered one after another.
Zhao Hong lit a bonfire, found someone who could speak Chinese, and explained it while warming himself, and then he completed the message transmission mission.
After being roasted for a long time, the body was still a little cold. The Koreans were very excited when they knew that it was the Song army who came and had defeated the Jurchens.
After a while, Tuo Junjing came in person overnight and brought good wine and meat to entertain these Song envoys.
While Zhao Hong and others were eating, he cheerfully told them about the battle situation on the other side. Only then did the Koreans know that the Song army had already invaded Tokyo Road.
This surprise was no small matter, and the Koreans all cheered for their victory. Together with the Song army, they defeated the powerful Jurchens.
Zhao Hong and others looked at them crying with joy, with proud faces, and suddenly felt that the meat in their mouths no longer tasted good.

In Shenyang Mansion, Tuo Junjing rushed here personally and met with Yang Lin.
Yang Lin looked at this tiger general, and he didn't look like he was being killed. With such a tall figure, it's not too much to call him a fierce general, right?
But the battle report clearly stated that the Jurchens, with hundreds of light cavalry, killed the Goryeo army and fled back to the other side, abandoning their helmets and armor.
It was this burly "tiger general" who ordered the suspension bridge to be cut down, the gate closed, and the Jurchen Tatars were allowed to massacre the Goryeo soldiers who had not had time to cross the river.
As expected, people cannot be judged by their appearance...
Yang Lin did not laugh at him too much, but gave him some words of encouragement and asked him to tell Yang Ziqian that now that the land passage has been opened, there is no need to transport troops by sea.
The one hundred thousand soldiers will be transported from Shenyang Mansion as soon as possible.
There is a shortage of labor here, so they have begun to hire local people from Hedong. People in Song Dynasty are too expensive, and the court is in a hurry.
However, the Liao people were too lazy, did not know how to work, and were inefficient.
Speaking of which, the people of Korea were very diligent, much better than the people of Liao.
After defeating this good-for-nothing general, the officials in the hall couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
Yang Lin's smile was very shallow, but his eyes were very deep. Even a nation like Goryeo actually has its own advantages.
Although most of them are ridiculous, there are also heroes like Cui Hongxu who plead for the people.
He was born in a wealthy family, but among the common people, he advocated the abolition of the hierarchical family system and learned from the policies of the Song Dynasty.
This kind of lone hero goes against the odds and is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of national justice to save a group of ignorant people who may not appreciate him and may even kill him.
Yang Lin knew very well that Cui Hongxu would most likely fall into his hands, but this did not prevent Yang Lin from admiring him very much.
It seems that this kind of nation that has been Sinicized especially needs this kind of heroic figures. Once they succeed, it will be the rise of this nation-state.
In later history, none of the countries in East Asia that were baptized by the Han style were easy to mess with.
Needless to say, Japan, a mere island country, was in such turmoil that the Americans finally did not dare to invade the mainland and dropped two atomic bombs.
The only two wars that the Americans did not win were China and Vietnam.
Today, it is the Song Dynasty, Jiaozhi, Goryeo, Japan...
No matter how anti-China and anti-Chinese they appear on the surface, and no matter how close they are to the West later, it is undeniable that their roots have been influenced by Han and Tang styles for thousands of years, and their ancestors have branded them as Chinese in their national character. 's imprint.
I’ve learned a little bit about it, but it’s already great.
Such a nation, given the slightest chance, can always take advantage of the situation, rise, revive, and take the lead.
Yang Lin gently closed the letter, closed his eyes and shook his head, letting his thoughts return to the current battle situation.
