Spring is here, and the morning in Beijing is still cold. Yang Dagon opened the thick sheepskin curtain, and a cold wind poured in, making him suffocate suddenly. Just after coming down from the warm Kang, the cold seemed even more unbearable than usual.
Suddenly he found a roll of paper tied next to the curtain door, so he hurriedly untied it and looked around first. The genius was just getting bright, the air was dry and cold in the wind, and there was no one in the camp and found nothing.
Yang Dagon took the paper and walked into the tent. He took a piece of charcoal and lit the oil lamp. He went under the lamp and looked at it. It said: The more king must be opposed.
Yang Dagon hurriedly hid the things in his arms, packed up the things and went out.
When I arrived at the residence of the Privy Councillor Yelu Xiezhen, I saw Xiao Simwen and Yeluhu'er in the hall. Yelu Xianzhen saw Yang Dagon and said: "The Yang Mansion immediately arranged some manpower to go to the Yalu River Jurchen Palace."
Yang Dagon asked: "What happened?"
Yelü Xiezhen said: "The imperial court sent a letter to the envoys of Jurchen, and the local Jurchen tribe excuses the decrease in pearl production and wants to reduce the number of pearls offered. We have to know whether those Jurchens have begun to despise the prestige of the Khitan."
He thought for a while and said solemnly, "I also doubt whether the Koreans have contact with the Jurchen tribe."
Xiao Siwen said fiercely: "If you don't teach the savages after a while, they will forget to obey!"
Yang Dagon listened for a while, finally took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it over: "This is a letter that someone quietly put outside my tent. I don't believe it, but I dare not keep it private... …The King of Yue has always been courteous, this letter may be a private complaint and vilification."
A few people have a look: The more the king is against! Suddenly looked at each other.
The name of the King of Yue is Yelu Bishe, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, and the younger brother of the "tyrant" Yelujing. But Yelu Bishe's mother was of low status and was always humble. She used to persuade her elder brother Yelujing not to drink and kill, and saved many people with a good reputation.
After Yelvxian succeeded to the throne, it was not difficult for him to make him the King of Yue.
Xiao Siwen frowned and said: "The King Yue is not like an ambitious person."
Yelü Xianzhen said: "What if some people encourage him to stay?"
Yang Dagon said: "The Khan will relocate to Dongdan. We must be more prepared during this trip."
The capital of Liaoning is in Shangjing, but the center of power may not always be in Shangjing. Wherever the Wangzhangxing camp moves, it is the center of the vast grassland.
...And just half a month later, Xu Jun Sanlu had already gathered north.
Above the wilderness on the north bank of the Yellow River, the croplands have become fresh green. There are few fireworks rising everywhere. They are not smoke from the village, but manure from cooking.
Last year, the Yellow River and the Yangtze River had great harvests from north to south, and the grain boats on the Cao River continued to flow from autumn to winter. On a small mound, Guo Shao, riding a dark horse northward could not help but exclaimed: "This year is another good year!"
He pressed his sword and looked back. On the several roads in the wilderness, the black crowds and dust filled the new verdant spring with a bit of weight.
The cavalry with shining armor surging quickly on a large road, and the other roads are slow-moving dragons. Pawns carrying firearms walked slowly in columns on the side of the road, and vehicles of various colors were in the middle of the road. Donkey carts, horse carts, and wheelbarrows have everything.
The heavy copper cannons on the carts occasionally show a hideous metallic luster under the blankets. Grain, tents, gunpowder, and arrows were all transported with the infantry.
How old is the Chinese army? There are dozens of officials who formed the former Liaoxi army's military mansion to help Guo Shao manage the army's food passages and warehouses. There is no danger in riding tens of thousands of steps in Hebei. Guo Shaosui led his guards to leave the Liaoxi Army on horseback and headed for Shandong to inspect.
He arrived at Dengzhou Port a few days later. Han Tong, the commander of the Dragon Army, went out one mile outside the port to greet him, and took Guo Shao and others to patrol the other two armies.
There are already camps and tents in and out of Dengzhou Port. Tiezhou Army and Suzhou Army are waiting in this port. In the past few days, Guo Shao has seen another large-scale army mobilization of this era, and the scene is very spectacular.
Several huge Mulan ships docked on the pier, and their masts rose like towering trees. A team of soldiers carrying packages and luggage are walking through the wooden corridor on the coast and onto the dock. They climbed from the rope ladder to the tall Mulan ship deck.
Many small boats shuttled on the pier, and the soldiers clinging to the big boat looked like a colony of ants. People on the pier found the emperor's banner, and at some point, the shouts of "Long live" became noisy.
This will be the first large-scale attack by the Daxu Dynasty on the mainland of Liao, but the method of warfare is completely different from the previous dynasties.
...... On the seashore at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, sparsely populated near the city of Suzhou in Liao State. The center of this area is in Fuzhou (Fuxian County) a few hundred miles away, where the Nanjvchen Grand Prince's Mansion and Nanjvzhen Tanghesi are all there; Suzhou City is just a small, run-down city.
Several wooden boats are floating on the beach. The Jurchen in animal skins throws a fishing net into the water, and stares at the sea with a harpoon in his hand.
The sea breeze and the sound of the waves remain unchanged. It is a quiet morning, and mist is surging like smoke on the sea. At this moment, there was a yell of "Jili Wah" suddenly.
The Jurchen on the boat looked up, and suddenly his eyes widened and stayed on the shaking board.
The three huge boats first caught people's eyes, the huge sails covered like clouds, and the yellow dragon flag on the big boat was waving in the wind. After a while, more ships filled the sea, and the three columns looked like geese on the sea.
The Jurchen fishermen hurriedly rowed a boat to the beach, as if they had seen a monster.
Xu Jun's fleet gradually approached the sea, and there was a dilapidated fishing village on the seashore. A string of dust was flying behind the fishing village, and a group of Liao army cavalry had left the city to approach the sea.
At this moment, the dark shadow in the mist suddenly lit up like lightning, and a thunderous sound came. The savage fishermen in the fishing village were frightened and ran out in a mess.
In a short while, the lights flashed, and the thunder became one. The side-stringed cannons of the three big ships sounded together, and the ten-pound iron ball roared into the air. Suddenly, the houses in the fishing village collapsed in patches, and the earth, rock and thatch flew around.
Xu Jun also approached the sea with a large number of light boats, and the guns roared. The cavalry of the Liao army by the sea, holding bows and arrows, wielding iron spears and iron bones, shouted there. At this time, an iron ball whizzed and bounced on the soil on the seashore. The horse next to him was frightened, hissed, and turned around.
"Boom boom boom..." The lead shot of the son and mother flew over the head and face. The Liao army screamed and screamed that some people were falling. One general raised his iron sword with a wave, and everyone turned their horse's head and ran to the north, away from the iron **** and lead shots.
The sound of cannons on the sea sounded for several rounds. I saw that many sand boats appeared on the seashore, and the people on it approached the seaside with their oars and paddling the sand boats. Then soldiers jumped off the sand boats and landed on the seashore almost without resistance.
The general of the Liao army saw that the artillery on the big ship could hit the seashore, and he dared not step forward again. He gave an order and ran back to the city with his troops.
... Xu Jun, a large number of people, without hurting a single soldier, landed on the beach and set up camp fortifications first. Seeing more and more people and horses, the Liao army knew it was invincible, and hurriedly sent quick horses to Fuzhou.
Fuzhou immediately appealed to Liaoyang Prefecture, the capital of the Eastern Dan Kingdom.
But at this time Liaoyang Mansion was already panicking, because the army villages in Tiezhou and Liaoxi Corridor were also sending people in a hurry. The Great Khan King was about to go to Liaoyang Mansion in a short time, and the yamen of the Eastern Dan Kingdom were busy making a group.
The monarchs and ministers in the big tent of Yelvxian, Daliao Xingying, gradually figured out Xu Jun's movement from the news from Liaoyang: Xu Jun has entered the Liaoxi Corridor, Tiezhou, and Liaodong Peninsula by sea and land, and has entered the invasion!
Some nobles advised that Liaoyang is no longer safe and should stop migrating to Liaoyang.
Xiao Siwen said: "The four fields of Liaoyang are flat and open, and the Liao cavalry is galloping. Xu Jun is still dominated by infantry, not to be afraid."
The 19-year-old Yelvxian asked directly: "Is there a way to withdraw from the enemy?"
Xiao Siwen unfolded a picture, pointed to the city and mountain painted on it, and said: "Xu Jun has a total of thousands of people on the east two roads, and the main force is tens of thousands in the western Liaoning corridor. My army is waiting for work in the hinterland of western Liaoning, sending Qingqi all the way from Bazhou. (Chaoyang) The more Songling Mountain, Xu Junliang Road is broken, which puts him in a dilemma."
Yelü Xie Zhen said calmly: "Even if Xu Junliang Road can be broken by land, Xu Jun will transport grain and grass from sea to Liaoxi Fort."
Shaw Siwen was speechless.
A year ago, Xu Guoren suddenly built up the Liaoxi Fort in Longshan, where Gucheng was there, and now he has finally determined the role of that fortress.
Yelüxian, sweating profusely, sitting on the big chair padded with tiger skin, holding the scepter tightly in his hand, sitting there without saying a word. In the rugged king's account, the ministers and nobles of Manchuria were silent. Yelu Xiezhen was pondering something, Xiao Siwen guessed that the Privy Councilor of the North Court wanted to make peace...
Xiao Siwen stood up first and bowed to his superior: "Since the founding of the motherland, the nomadic tribes on the prairie to the west and the Mohe fishing and hunting tribes on the east have all surrendered to the Great Khitan. We are the king on the grassland and the tiger in the jungle. . If the tiger lowered its head to the sheep in the sheepfold, it would no longer be awed by the world."
Yelü Xiezhen couldn't help but said: "The Southerners are not like people in the sheepfold... Xiao Gong has also said before that the former Huns Khanate was destroyed by the Southerners and ceased to exist." /
Xiao Siwen said emotionally: "You have also seen many Southern slaves. They are weak and timid. Are you willing to surrender to such a person?"
Finally some nobles yelled in annoyance, and someone shouted: "The vast grassland and the boundless Konoha Mountain will be the cemetery of the southerners!"
Xiao Siwen took the opportunity to bow and said: "Dai Khan, Dongdan government can be moved from Liaoyang and rebuilt in the ancient capital of Bohai Kingdom, Suhan City. Daliao avoids Xu Jun's edge and is waiting for an opportunity to fight back!"
Yelü Xiezhen and other officials of the North Court were not commenting, but Yelu Xiezhen only said: "The imperial court is difficult to maintain by relying on grassland alone. After the Great Liao loses the cloud, Dongdan can't make a mistake.".
