In mid-September, Liu Renzhan's 30,000 people (Jiangnan Army) Gao Yanjian's 20,000 people (Jiannan Shu Army) continued to reach Hebei. Liu Renzhan took over the "new city" at the intersection of the old Caoqu and Juma River; Gao Yanjian built another city at the intersection of the Sanggan River and the Caoqu on the east, and established a new administrative system "Jinzhou".
Hebei Zhou Army's foot cavalry reached more than 100,000.
Yelixiu, the commander of the Liao Army in Youzhou, refused to go to war, and went to Beijing to immediately increase troops because the current strength of the Liao Army in Youzhou is too far from that of the Zhou Army.
In the palace hall on the hill of Shangjing, the light is dim, and the fire in the copper basin is shining with orange light. At this time, the weather in Beijing was a bit cold, the doors and windows were closed, and everyone seemed to be staying in a cave.
Yelüjing picked up the wine bowl with her thumb and index finger and took a sip, "bang" on the wooden table, looking at the people below.
The atmosphere is very strange, because the situation is so complicated that no one says anything easily.
Not long ago, the Liao emperor and the nobles heard that Yeluxiu had won a great victory. They were very happy to show off their martial arts with the generals of the Zhou army. They praised Yeluxiu and were first named "Gong Zhou". Become a hero who talks about in the grassland.
But now it has attracted a large-scale "invasion" by the Zhou army, which is also something Yelujing is very unwilling to see. Liao is now unwilling to engage in large-scale wars.
Finally someone began to scold angrily: "Zhou people are more brazen than the previous'Southerners'. They are not ashamed of repeated defeats, and they have the face to make trouble!"
"Yelixiu didn't let the main force of the Zhou army suffer a loss. They were not beaten to the painful spot, so they didn't know how to be in awe. The main force of the Zhou army should be killed again, this is the effective way to make them obey!"
"Yes, yes. This time I have to find the right opportunity to destroy the main force of the Zhou army..."
Yelüjing has a hard beard and blue face, with a fierce look, as if to say: You guys say these are a shit! He opened his mouth and said: "What on earth does Zhou people want to do this time?"
A nobleman said: "I still want to take Youzhou."
Yelüjing said coldly: "Yang Dagon reported that Zhou Jun only annexed near the Juma River, not near Youzhou. Did the Zhou people change the way, or did they not intend to attack Daliao?"
Everyone talked a lot. Most of the views were on the former. The Zhou army changed its strategy of raiding Youzhou...Because the Khitan people have been in contact with the Han for many years, they still have a better understanding of everything in the Central Plains. The Han army will go out on a large scale. Mobilization is not easy and consumes a lot, and it is unlikely that a lot of effort will be spent just doing harassment.
Yelüjing asked: "The Zhou army occupied Gu'an County in Zhuozhou and built two more cities. What is special about these places?"
General Yelu Xianzhen put his hand on his chest and bowed: "It should be for the sake of leaning on the river.
The Daliao army usually goes out for two months. The grain is carried with the army, and then the grain is taken nearby; unlike the southerners, they usually rely on a large number of people and focus on decisive battles. There are many people and horses need a lot of grain, and they are heavy and slow. When it is unfavorable, it must be stationed for long-term defense, so it is very dependent on the road to transport food.
The 6th grain road requires a large number of civilians and consumes a lot of money; the waterway transports a lot of grain and does not worry about the water source, so relying on the waterway is the best route for southerners. "
Yelüjing asked about the rivers near Zhuozhou and Xincheng and in the south, but no one was able to say clearly, most of them could give a general idea. Many nobles present had never been to Youzhou, and those who had been to Youzhou didn't know much about the southern terrain.
Yelü Xiezhen couldn't help but say: "The Deputy Privy Envoy of the North Court, Xiao Gong, has defended Youzhou for many years, and I know the details."
"Where is Xiao Siwen?" Yelujing asked. Everyone looked around, and Xiao Siwen didn't come today.
The Emperor Liao was a little displeased and shouted: "Go find Xiao Siwen and let him see Ben Khan!"
After waiting for a long time, the Emperor Liao drank a whole pot of wine in public, his face flushed, and Xiao Siwen was hurriedly led into the hall. Xiao Siwen worshipped: "The minister is late, please forgive me profusely."
"Huh!" After drinking, Emperor Liao's temper became worse than usual.
Suddenly quieted down, all worried. Everyone knows the temper of the Liao emperor very well. This alcoholic is actually pretty good. When he gets drunk he is quite unreasonable and irritable. He takes the opportunity to vent his usual tolerance; perhaps he will express his annoyance after waking up, but others do. No way, after all, drinking...There are excuses for doing something wrong.
People felt that Yelujing had almost drunk, and looked at the empty wine bowl on the table quietly, wishing him not to continue.
Xiao Siwen bowed respectfully: "The minister heard that Da Khan called a group of ministers to discuss matters today, and guessed that it was Zhou Jun’s entry into Youzhou. He hurried to prepare at home, otherwise, even if people arrive at the temple, they will sweat profusely. If you can’t say anything, isn’t it disrespectful?"
Yelüjing heard that Xiao Siwen's attitude was very respectful, so she didn't do it, and said: "Ben Khan just asked others about the river south of Youzhou, have you prepared for so long, are you ready?"
Xiao Siwen immediately took out a roll of paper from his arms: "This is the main river graphic in Hebei, including the approximate width of the flow in the Zhou Kingdom. Please sweat it."
After he sent the drawings up, he said again: "At this time, the area occupied by the Zhou army is in a horizontal shape ("Z" shape). Laishui Liu Lihe flows eastward in the north of Zhuozhou, and eastward again. It flows south and merges into the Juma River; Zhuozhou and Gu’an control both banks of the Liuli River and the north bank of the Juma River respectively. The western waterway can be controlled with the second city; in this area, as long as the Daliao Army is close to the waterway, Under the threat of Zhou Jun's city.
There are two other places to the west, Jintai and Qigou Pass, for the depth and support of the Zhou army.
The east line is the Juma River (Baigou River) that flows east-west. This line is to the south, and there are two intersections...From west to east, the first is the "New City". The Caoqu in the north-south direction is the confluence of the Yongji Canal and Juma River built in the Sui Dynasty. . When Zhou Jun built a new city here, he controlled an important gateway for the transportation of grain and grass from the southern waterway to the north.
The second place is ‘Jinzhou’, which is close to the East China Sea and is the easternmost opening of the Zhou Army front. This is the intersection of the Sanggan River in the north; the two waters merge into the East China Sea in the east, and along the Sanggan River in the north into the south of Youzhou City, and connect with the Juma River in the west to open up the southern waterway.
Zhou Junjian’s "Jinzhou" was in the northeast of the intersection, echoing the east and west of the new city, and controlled the north section of the Yongji Canal in the south of the Sanggan River. "
After Xiao Siwen finished speaking in detail, he looked a little dignified and frowned: "As you can see, Zhou Jun is not only chasing Yeluxiu northward this time, but is deliberate and prepared! They quickly established a very tight front. The position of Yi Xiongba, which was originally on the Juma River along the border, was advanced northward for a while; and a perfect water transportation was established."
Everyone was lost in thought after listening, and the atmosphere became more and more urgent.
"The thing that the minister was worried about finally happened." Xiao Siwen sighed and bowed and said, "Khan, we have to prepare for a big battle again in Daliao."
Yelüjing didn't dare to be a joke at this time, and asked: "Brother Yeluxiu has written to ask for reinforcements, but now Youzhou is not in a hurry. Daliao wants to start a division and move the crowd?"
Xiao Siwen said: "It would be okay if the Zhou army rushed to attack Youzhou. The situation is similar to that of the beginning of the year. Your Majesty will go to Beijing to aid troops and go south, and you can make a relief."
Yelüjing was silent in thought.
Xiao Siwen worshipped: "You can order Brother Yeluxiu to attack and harass the enemy and lead Zhou Jun to the city of Youzhou."
Yelüjing said: "Yelüxiu is not strong enough, so he is not willing to go south at this time."
Xiao Siwen frowned and said: "If the Zhou Jun clings to this line, it will not be possible to take them with the palace camp army immediately. The palace camp army and the Youzhou army can't fight decisively with the main cavalry of the Zhou army; and they may fall into a siege.
Only by gathering the tribal army, perhaps we can order some of the five capitals and the capital of the state army to go south, and then the unbuilt city of Zhou can be used as a breakthrough point to tear their battle lines.
It takes two months to gather troops to Youzhou like this. At that time, the river was frozen, but it also helped the Great Liao Army to gallop. "
Yelüjing was a little confused and hesitated: "According to the report of Brother Yeluxiu, the Zhou army only has more than 50,000 fine riders at most, plus some surrendered foot riders. There are a total of more than 100,000 people in Hebei. It needs the Daliaoxing Division to mobilize the generals and tribes. The Jingzhou Army is also mobilized?"
Xiao Siwen said: "In the opinion of the ministers, in a few months, the strength of the Zhou army on this line may increase to 300,000 to 400,000! The current sign of the Zhou army is that the power of the whole country will fight us hard! Daliao Only a few light rides cannot resolve the crisis."
Yelüjing leaned back and looked a little bit unable to sit still. However, he might also suspect that Xiao Simwen was alarmist... Did the Southerner commit a crime for the sake of Youzhou?
Xiao Siwen said again: "The minister thought that if Daliao did not use all his strength, the next goal of the Zhou army was the intersection of Wenyu River and Sanggan River! Sweat and look at the drawings contributed by the minister. This place is east of Zhuozhou. Close to the East China Sea.
The Sanggan River reaches Youzhou directly, and the Wenyu River reaches Juyongguan Pass at Deshengkou, Xishan. The two rivers attack Youzhou, forming a trend of encirclement! If Zhou Jun controls this place, the situation is very bad. "
Some nobleman murmured: "Fortunately, Xiao Gong is not from Zhou."
Xiao Siwen shook his head and said: "Southerners are better at using the mountains and rivers to attack and defend. If you know Go, you know one or two."
He looked back around: "Youzhou, it is about the luck of the Liao Dynasty! Guo Tiejiang's ambitious generation will do such a thing sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.
Strategy is a strategy, and ultimately it depends on their respective operations. Zhou Guo's internal affairs are not so stable and simple. They don't care about the cost, and there may be accidents. What we will fight in the future is not strategy, but management.
From now on, all ethnic groups in Daliao should be united and overcome difficulties together! Whoever wants to conceal privacy at this time is the sinner of the Daliao and the Great Khitan tribe! Chen was the first to be the forerunner of the Great Khan, leaving him dead without a place to be buried! "
Yelüjing was very satisfied with Xiao Siwen's attitude. After all, he said it in front of the most powerful nobles in Daliao. If Xiao Siwen came to deal with the profuse soon, he would definitely not be trusted by all races.
