Chapter 972 The three families are divided into Liao, so they are worthy?

"Wow!"

Wanyan Agu pressed his hand on the tree, spat out a mouthful of blood, looked at the sky warily, wiped his mouth hastily, and returned to the team.

He couldn't vomit blood in front of the soldiers, which would cause huge damage to morale, so he could only hide aside with his hands, spit out the blood, and then hurried back to the main army, for fear of being hunted down by "Zuo Ming" again.

He was worried about this for nothing, Li Yanzheng was chatting with Lin Lingsu, and predicted Jin Jun's next move.

"What shall we do next?"

Wanyan Aguda was also thinking about this issue, and looked at the soldiers riding silently behind him. Although it was not dejected, it was far from the initial state of blazing fire.

It is true that Qingqi comes and goes like the wind, and it is difficult to capture. It maximizes the advantages of mobility, but it also consumes a lot of physical strength. After all, there is a limit to human physical strength and energy. After a long period of fighting, you will be tired and mentally tense. The frightened bird will eventually run out of people and horses, and will no longer have the combat power of the past.

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 mouths waiting to be fed, so even these elite cavalry can't even talk about food. How good it is.

Look at the [-] elite main force of the Yan Army and [-] auxiliary soldiers stationed around the Liaoyang Mansion. The rear has a steady stream of supplies and meat. They are all strong and fight less.

I would rather play cuju in the barracks, cultivate a tacit understanding, and not come out to confront each other. No matter how I lure you into it, I won’t be fooled. If you stand out as an immovable mountain, you will continue to build fortresses...

What's even more exaggerated is that according to the characteristics of the Golden Cavalry, the Ministry of Industry in the rear is still continuously developing new equipment. The cavalry rushed over, not knowing what they would face.

"Cutting off the food roads and seizing the food and grass has completely become a luxury. We can no longer spend it with the Yan army!"

Wanyan Aguda's eyes were full of bitterness.

There is a huge gap in national strength between Yanjin and Jin. If he had a choice, how could he be in a stalemate with the other party? Isn't it because there is no other way that he ended up in this situation?

That leaves one last option.

"Destroy Liao?"

In the Yazhong of Huanglong Mansion, generals such as Wanyan Wodai, Wanyan Wosai, and Wanyan Loushi gathered together. First, they felt heavy for the appearance of the new type of equipment, the Hundred Crossbow Lianji, and then they changed their faces because of this decision. .

Wan Yanwo said: "Brother Wang, the demise of the Liao Kingdom is now a foregone conclusion, but if we do it, it will be difficult to rule the remnants..."

All the generals nodded.

When King Xi returned to Libao to support a new monarch, Emperor Tianzuo who lived in Shangjing failed to send troops to destroy him quickly, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Liao Kingdom was over.

There is only an empty shell left in this northern power, and all the ethnic groups and tribes under its command are divided, watching from the sidelines, let alone other ethnic groups, the Khitan people are busy looking for a way out, this is the most obvious disintegration.

However, important officials such as Emperor Tianzuo and Xiao Fengxian did not take any measures to retain them, so they just sat and watched. Now that the Yan army and the Jin army are fighting on the territory of the Liao Kingdom, these monarchs and ministers dare not even fart. Will the country perish?

Having said that, there is still something to be particular about who will be the last person to overthrow the Liao Kingdom.

The Jin people are unwilling anyway. As the old people, they are about to regard themselves as loyal ministers of Daliao. After the other party is torn apart, they will take over the inheritance of the Liao Kingdom. If the Jin Kingdom destroys Liao, it will definitely benefit the Yan Kingdom...

Wanyan Agu said: "This is the worst strategy, but we have no choice. If we continue to fight 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!"

"It is not difficult for our Jin army to defeat the Liao people now. The only advantage over Yan is that we were also Liao people in the past, which can make the patriarchs of various tribes lean towards us!"

"As long as we seize the inventory of Shangjing and get the reserve of food, grass, armor and equipment, use it to buy people's hearts and reward the ministries, we can still survive!"

Wanyan Wusai said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that by now, Liao's treasury has been emptied by those greedy Khitan nobles..."

Wanyan Aguda said coldly: "Then kill!"

Everyone looked at each other and fell silent.

Killing the Khitan nobles was indeed a pleasure, and avenged the oppression suffered by the Jurchens in the past, but this is completely disregarding the future and only considering the immediate strategy. After all, even outside the Great Wall, it is not wise to kill to deter all ethnic groups. choice, the other ministries are not fools...

Wanyan Aguda continued: "It's not just about killing, you have to kill and reward at the same time, and you have to contact the various ministries, just like when Korea was destroyed and the treasury was used to buy all parties, we will do the same this time!"

Only then did everyone suddenly realize that they pouted and wanted to say something, but in the end they said: "Yes!"

Wanyan Aguda sighed, and knew what they wanted to say: "I know that the Jurchen tribes didn't get much rewards after the destruction of Goryeo, and there were complaints among the tribes, but the Yan Kingdom pressed on every step of the way and regarded us as the enemy. , only in this way can we win a glimmer of life and let all the races bear with it..."

While talking, a notification came from outside: "The second prince is back!"

Wanyan Agu's eyes lit up: "It's just in time to come back!"

Not long after, a young man walked in quickly. Among the Jurchens, he had a plump face, which is rare. His son Wanyan Wushu.

Wanyan Aguda couldn't take care of this little one, and looked at Wanyan Zongwang: "What did Xi Xia say?"

Wanyan Zongwang said: "The Emperor Xixia is afraid of the King of Yan, he has many worries, and he is unwilling to form an alliance, but he is very interested in dividing up the Liao land that his father said."

Wanyan Agu said: "When Emperor Tianzuo returned to the country, he once plundered the territory from Xixia to make up for his defeat in the Southern Expedition. The Xixia king suffered such a big loss, and the country was in turmoil. He must be eager for the Liao Kingdom. land!"

"Instead of agreeing that the three families will divide the Liao Dynasty, our Jin Kingdom will take Liaodong and Shangjing Road, Xixia can take Xijing Road, and Zhongjing, which borders Yan Kingdom, will be occupied by King Xi and the Khitan survivors."

"This matter is urgent, you go now!"

Wanyan Zongwang took the order: "Yes!"

Seeing this man turned and left, Wanyan Wushu became a little anxious: "Father, Brother Wang just came back, why did you let him go?"

Wanyan Agu patted his youngest son's head: "Because my country of Jin is weak, everyone is working hard to make the country stronger, and your brother Wang is no exception, no matter how tired you are, you have to persevere!"

Wanyan Wushu clenched his small fists: "When I grow up, I will definitely help my father and brother to strengthen the Kingdom of Jin!"

Wanyan Aguda finally showed a smile: "Okay! As long as my Jurchen spirit of fighting in the white mountains and black waters is passed on from generation to generation, one day Yan will be defeated by Dajin!"

……

"The main force of the Jin army turned to Shangjing. They couldn't hold back and wanted to take the lead in destroying the Liao Dynasty. The letter just came, and Xixia seemed to have a move. It seemed that they also wanted to carve up the Liao Kingdom with the Jinren and King Xi."

In Liaoyang Mansion, Hua Rong looked at the many generals in the hall.

Suo Chao snorted, with a disdainful tone: "The three families are divided into Liao, so they are worthy?"

Guan Shengdao: "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 can be called elite, and the light cavalry comes and goes like the wind. Our army can't slack in the slightest, and Xixia... is indeed not self-satisfied. I've got my strength!"

The other generals have similar views.

Xixia is actually a country that is at its peak at the beginning. Although Li Yuanhao has extremely bad personal morality, he killed his mother, murdered his wife and occupied his daughter-in-law, and he did all the nasty things in the harem, but he has to admit that he is very capable in military affairs , The victory over the Song and Liao countries made Xixia successfully establish a country and achieve the power of the Three Kingdoms.

But ever since Li Yuanhao was unhappy with his retribution and was killed by his own son, Xixia's military has been declining all the way. In the two dynasties of Song Shenzong and Song Zhezong, he was taught to be a man by the Song army again and again, and was even killed under the king's capital, almost perishing the country.

Later, the Empress Dowager Xiaoliang died in the first battle, and she 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 do not rise, Xixia will really face the danger of subjugation. , but considering Song Huizong's hip stretching, he should be able to survive.

Now that Huizong of the Song Dynasty has changed to the last emperor of the Song Dynasty, the posthumous title can basically be determined as Lizong of the Song Dynasty, and the pattern of the world has changed greatly.

The only elite western army, after Zhe Keshi and Zhong Shidao committed suicide, chose to surrender and returned to the northwest border to reunite with his family.

At the same time, Yan Ting took Liu Fa as the commander of the Anxi Army and Liu Zhongwu as the commander of the Pingding Army. After the Western Army was disarmed and returned to the fields, the elite were selected and armed.

The two veterans of the Western Army originally thought that they should still guard the frontier and prevent Xixia from invading the border, but when Shi Jin led the Hengshan Qiang to vote, they suddenly realized that their long-cherished wish for many years might be coming true.

Xixia's military strength has been lost early, and the country is not peaceful. Now the most important strategic barrier, Hengshan, has been acquired by the Yan State, so what else is there?
That is to say, King Yan's focus has always been on the Jin Kingdom in Liaodong, and he has not taken care of the northwest for the time being. Otherwise, the strong army will march forward and advance slowly. He dare not guarantee that it will be destroyed within five years.

Hua Rong made a comprehensive consideration: "Perhaps it is precisely because Xixia is weak and precarious that the king of Xixia would do this."

Suo Chao, who is in the first phase of Sui'an, has also heard many examples, nodded and said: "It is better to divert internal conflicts and strive for a chance of life by making profits from the foreign land, than to sit and wait for death. Interfering, I have to wait!"

Huarong's thinking is very clear, and this is actually what is most needed in the fight: "Our duty is to stabilize Liaodong, and report this matter to the capital immediately, please make a decision."

The imperial edict from the capital arrived soon, Huarong saw it and passed it on to the left and right, and completely stabilized the army's morale: "Your Majesty ordered the Yongning Army to go north and station at the border of western Liaoning. If the Xixia people dared to shoot an arrow at our Yan army, they would be famous and wiped out. His country!"
