Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 437
The Jiedu envoy of Pinglu was stationed in Qingzhou, and Yang Guangyuan and his eldest son Yang Chengzuo were plotting in the Yamen of the Jiedu envoy's office.

Because the more Yang Guangyuan thought about it, the more angry he felt that he was being PUA by the later Jin court.

It was agreed to let him exchange town with Du Chongwei from Yedu, but after passing Tokyo, let him move town to Pinglu.

If Yang Guangyuan hadn't brought much money with him at the time, and he was accompanied by three hundred armored soldiers, he might not have survived.

This Qingzhou is small and poor, how can it compare with the prosperous Yedu, which is the gateway to the north of Tokyo.

He had made an agreement with Du Chongwei to leave a thousand brave men for each other to control.

As a result, Du Chongwei went to Luoyang, Xijing, and took control of the tiger and wolf warriors he left behind and raised with money collected from all over Luoyang.

But when he came to Qingzhou, all the previous money was wasted.

Yang Guangyuan's eldest son, Yang Chengzuo, is also very angry. Once Shi Jingtang dies, his son-in-law captain will soon lose popularity.

When he called to change Zhenpinglu, he wanted the princess to go to the palace to ask for advice, but Shi Chonggui refused to even let him enter the palace, which made Yang Chengzuo lose face.

"My lord, there is news from Tokyo that Jing Yanguang, a farmer's slave, scolded the Khitan envoy back, and still called his grandson not a vassal. It seems that a big war with the Khitan people is inevitable."

Yang Guangyuan's second son, Yang Chengxin, ran in from outside beaming. For them, Jing Yanguang's provocation to Khitan was their chance.

"Let's do it, my lord! The soldiers we raised in Xijing this time are all cheap to Du Chongwei.

Now Jing Yanguang dares to move us to Pinglu, then he will dare to move us to Binzhou Jingnan Army, Yanzhou Zhangwu Army, which is a bitter cold place facing Liangguo. "

Yang Guangyuan frowned, he still couldn't make up his mind, and looked at the impatient look of his eldest son Yang Chengzuo.

This handsome man who had experienced many battles and knew what was going on with the Khitan people said hesitantly.

"The Khitan people are treacherous and changeable, and Yelu Deguang has always had the heart to invade the Central Plains. This Shi Jingtang has already betrayed the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, what conditions can we give?
Can't we sell Dingzhen Erzhou again?

Dingzhou is the later Dingzhou of Hebei, and Zhenzhou is Zhengding County of Hebei. The two places are equivalent to Baoding and Shijiazhuang of later generations.

After Shi Jingtang sold out the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the court of the later Jin Dynasty established a fortress-type defense chain composed of cities in Zheng, Ding, Shen, Zhao and other prefectures.

It can barely reach the level of slightly restricting the Khitan cavalry and preventing them from going south unscrupulously.

If Dingzhen and Erzhou were to be betrayed again, there would be no place north of the Yellow River that could stop the Khitans.

Yang Chengzuo didn't seem to care about Yang Guangyuan's hesitation, he shook his head and said shamelessly.

"Shi Jingtang sold sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, why can't my Yang family sell mere two prefectures of Dingzhen?

Can adults still not see the current situation clearly?The imperial court wants my father and son to die quickly. If they sell Dingzhen and Erzhou, they can still be the son of Henan.

At worst, fortresses were built along the line of the Yellow River, the pontoon bridges were cut off, and ice was dug every winter to prevent the Khitans from freezing.

If we don't sell Dingzhen Erzhou, then wait for the day when the imperial court suddenly sends an angel to our door and chop off our heads.

Yang Guangyuan was left speechless by Yang Chengzuo's words. Since their father and son tasted the sweetness of killing Fan Yanguang in Luoyang, Xijing, they killed the common people, merchants and officials at all levels in Luoyang, Xijing, in less than a year, no less than 2000 people.

Although this is also the fifth generation of wars, their father and son did not kill many people in Luoyang, Xijing.

But in terms of the degree of cruelty, I am afraid that in the future it will be Qin Zongquan, the man-eating general under Huang Chao in the past.

A few years later, Zhao Siwan, the envoy of the Jinchang Army who likes to eat human livers, will be able to compare with him.

What Yang Guangyuan can see now is that the court of the later Jin Dynasty did not intend to kill them, whether it was the emperor or the military academy.

Thinking of this, he hammered heavily on the wrench, "My son will immediately ask the secretary in charge to edit a letter, select a person who can speak, and submit it to His Majesty the Khitan Emperor, inviting him to lead the army south and conspire with the Central Plains.

Then share the gold and silver we got from Luoyang with the top and bottom soldiers of the Pinglu Army, and let them rise up with us. "

Yang Guangyuan arranged well, but Yang Chengzuo was a little hesitant to do it.

"My lord, the money we looted from Luoyang has been exchanged into Hexi banknotes, and they are all big bills of one thousand guan. How can we distribute them?"

Yang Guangyuan said it was shared, but in fact he only planned to give out about [-] guan.

There are only [-] bank notes for [-] coins, how many people can be bought by this?

When the time comes, the dentist at the top will take the banknotes and not give points to the dentists below, which will be bad.

Moreover, Yang Guangyuan was also very reluctant to part with the money he had looted from Fan Yanguang, so after thinking about it, he decided to give up.

"Then call all the generals, and someone will tell them in person that when the incident occurs, Zizhou will be raided for military use."

At this time, there were two big cities under the rule of Pinglu Jiedushi, one was Qingzhou where the government office was located, and the other was Zizhou to the west of Qingzhou.

With only a few thousand troops in Pinglu Festival and Yang Guangyuan's hundreds of confidant soldiers, once an incident occurs, it is definitely impossible to guard both Qingzhou and Zizhou, and must only guard one place.

So Yang Guangyuan was going to give up Zizhou, use Zizhou's wealth to win the hearts of the Qingzhou Pinglu army's tooth soldiers, and then stick to Qingzhou and wait for the Khitan army to go south.

. . .

Khitan, oh, it should be called the Liao Kingdom now. In the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, Yelu Deguang ordered people to buy all kinds of precious brocades everywhere, making it look like he was going to celebrate the Empress Dowager's birthday in October for his mother.

On the one hand, he secretly ordered the left and right Pishi troops to practice more frequently, and recruited a large number of Xi people and Bohai people.

And after obtaining the permission of the Empress Dowager Shulu, Shuluping's private army, the Shushan Army, was also used to prepare for the southward invasion.

And Yelu Deguang's operations did successfully paralyze the later Jin court.

In the future, the Jin court had very little eyeliner in Khitan territory, not to mention being accurate, but it was basically unable to follow Khitan's movements, and was quickly deceived by Yelu Deguang's little tricks.

As a result, Shi Chonggui had no other defensive measures other than hoarding a large amount of military supplies in Beizhou north of the Yellow River.

On the contrary, it was Zhao Yanshou who, through careful work in Hebei, had already ascertained that Beizhou was the place where the later Jin court hoarded military supplies.

First of all, there is a difference in intelligence between the two sides.

For Yelu Deguang, Yang Guangyuan's letter only strengthened his determination to go south to punish Houjin.

Because he has already seen the virtues of these warriors from the Central Plains, not to mention Yang Guangyuan who has no friendship with him, but also has a sick head, which makes people look tired.

Even the handsome middle-aged Zhao Yanshou who was treated as his adopted son and who kept running around by his side, Yelu Deguang never thought about supporting him to become the emperor of the Central Plains again.

Yelude, the emperor of the Central Plains, just planned to do it himself.

Of course Zhao Yanshou didn't know this, he was still dreaming that Yelu Deguang would let him be the emperor of the Central Plains, establish the Great Yan Dynasty, and become Yan Taizu's dream.

Hearing that an envoy from Yang Guangyuan had arrived at this moment, Zhao Yanshou immediately begged Yelu Deguang with great interest and asked to be the vanguard.

Seeing that everything was ready, Yelude was unambiguous and directly appointed Zhao Yanshou as the vanguard.

Transferred to him [-] Xiren tribe troops, more than [-] Han soldiers from Gui, Yun, Ying, Tan and other prefectures behind the mountain, plus several thousand from Zhao Yanshou, a total of [-], and ordered him to go south as a vanguard.

Yelu Deguang himself led 80,000 people from the left and right Pishi Army, Shushan Army, Seven Tribe Army, and Bohai Army.

. . . .

On Zhang Zhao's side, after fifteen days of trekking, the 9000 people, the main force of the Chinese army he led, finally reached Xianquan Town.

And Xianquan Town lived up to its name as a salty spring. It was actually a small puddle of about four to five hundred square meters. The water in the lake was indeed slightly salty with bitterness.

However, Zhang Zhao raised his head and looked at the desolate sandy land around Shatuoqi, and suddenly felt that such a spring appeared on the edge of the desert, which is considered rare.

As soon as the repairs were completed, Bai Congxin rode his horse to report in person.

It turns out that according to the information provided by the merchants, Tingzhou, the Xia capital of the Gaochang Uighurs, should have only two or three thousand troops.

But when Bai Congxin arrived, the entire Tingzhou was already under martial law, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry patrolling outside the city alone.

Zuo Yulinwei's scouts couldn't get close to investigate at all. The brocade emissary dressed as a city merchant entered Tingzhou City, but no one came back. It seemed that he was detained.

This is a little strange, Zhang Zhao scratched his head, it shouldn't be!

The merchants who knew the specific action time of the army were all carefully selected by the Hexi Chamber of Commerce.

Everyone has great interests and their family members are in Liangzhou. They dare not disclose any information to anyone.

And just over half a month ago, Zhang Zhao sent the last batch of envoys to meet Jie Lipijia in the account of the king of the Uighurs in Gaochang, and they were still paralyzing the Uighurs in Gaochang with the name Ziquwang.

It is impossible for Jieli Pijia to react immediately, and then within a month and a half, he came to Tingzhou from Gaochang King City.

Zhang Zhao shook his head slowly. If Jieli Pijia was so easy to deal with, if he dared to leave the strong city of Gaochang and run to Tingzhou when a big battle broke out immediately, then he would be an easy target to take down.

However, this situation was indeed beyond everyone's expectations, because before departure, Zhang Zhao presided over the military meeting and had already made a detailed analysis of the Gaochang Uyghur population army.

Even if all the herdsmen were recruited in the entire Gaochang Uyghur, it would only be about 70,000 people.

They simply don't have the ability to send so many troops to shield Tingzhou, unless they draw all the troops here.

Bai Congxin took the map and began to analyze it carefully. Suddenly, he pointed to the northwest direction of Tingzhou and looked at Zhang Zhao.

Zhang Zhao was also taken aback for a moment, how could he forget about this guy?
Li Cunhui next to him saw the direction of Zhang Zhao's finger, he touched his chin and asked.

"Your Excellency, what do you mean? The large number of cavalry in Tingzhou City may be Geluolu people from the land of Seven Rivers?"

Murong Nobunaga also nodded, "The Chen family in Yizhou heard the news that Saktu is going to marry the Gaochang Uighur, and Jieli Pijia also knows that we are about to launch an attack on him.

Then it is very likely that Saktu will be notified and asked him to send troops to rescue, which makes sense,

Well, we should have just bumped into the Geluolu people under Saktu who came to the rescue. "

hey-hey!There was a sneer on Zhang Zhao's face, if that was the case, it would save him to find Saktu.

Zhang Tianwang immediately made a decision, "Instead of guessing wildly here, why don't you, Cun Huier, and Murong Yanzhao bring a hundred elite riders each, and catch a group of tongues back.

If these people are really Ge Luolu people from the Land of Seven Rivers, we might as well wipe them out on the outskirts of Tingzhou City.

Then, under the banner of Ge Luolu, he deceived the defenders of the Gaoshan Uighurs in Baishuijiandao, and went straight to the city of Gaochang.
