Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 466: Time to Enter Guanzhong

In fact, Yelu Deguang was going to go south again without Yang Guangyuan's report.

Yelu Deguang also knew very well about all kinds of natural disasters that occurred in the Later Jin Dynasty.

Because of a very simple thing, the most disasters occurred in Zhenzhou and Dingzhou in the Later Jin Dynasty.

And these two places are adjacent to Youzhou, which was ceded to Khitan, and the flood and drought disasters suffered by Youzhou are no less than Zhenzhou and Dingzhou.

However, the governance ability of the Khitan people is still better than that of the later Jin Dynasty.

Before obtaining the Sixteen States of Yanyun, during the period of Yelu Abaoji, Khitan had already captured Pingzhou, Yingzhou and other places in western Liaoning that originally belonged to the Tang Dynasty.

The west of Liaoning was originally the rich place under the jurisdiction of Lulong Jiedu. There were a lot of farmland, but there was a lack of Han people who could farm.

Therefore, Yelu Deguang has been busy these days to relocate the victims, and moved the people of Youzhou who were severely affected by the disaster to Yingzhou and Pingzhou in the west of Liaoning, where there are many people and few lands.

But don't think that the people of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures got a blessing in disguise, because the Khitan people themselves also suffered from the disaster. This is the Daliao of the Khitan people, and they must take care of their own people first.

Therefore, Yelu Deguang's relocation of the victims was more like a death journey. The old, weak, sick and disabled died all the way, and only strong men and healthy women survived.

It can only be said that the Khitan people did a better job than the late Jin court's ignorance and continuous urging of autumn taxes.

After the relocation of the victims, the attack on the later Jin Dynasty was immediately put on the agenda by Yelu Deguang.

Because for him now, there is a troublesome place. This war, which was ostensibly to punish the later Jin court, was fought by Yelu Deguang into a war that cannot be lost and must be won.

Because before the war, in order to strengthen the determination of the Khitan ministries to support him and go south, Yelu Deguang let the later Jin court insult him a little bit.

What Jing Yanguang said, "Weng wants to fight, so he will fight. In the future, his grandson can't help but make fun of the world." ' Then Yelu Deguang was marked as unable to flinch.

Because if he is really in the name of the big Khitan country and the respect of his grandfather, he can't beat Shi Chonggui who is swaying in the wind and rain.

Then in the Khitan country, where everything is about strength, Yelu Deguang's prestige will suffer a devastating blow.There will even be people who will rebel against him.

Therefore, Yelu Deguang must not only continue to attack the Later Jin Dynasty, but also must win. It is best to destroy the Later Jin Dynasty, otherwise the pre-war indulgence will be redoubled on Yelu Deguang.

And it was precisely because of Yelu Deguang's performance that Zhang Zhao could see clearly the face of Khitan, especially Yelu Deguang's paper tiger.

Because Yelu Deguang clearly knew the enemy during the first Jin-Liao war.

He can fight steadily, step by step to eat all the states and counties north of the Yellow River in Houjin, and then take advantage of the winter when the Yellow River is frozen, and fight to the south of the Yellow River, and the big things will be settled.

But Yelu Deguang did not do this. He saw clearly the reality of the late Jin Dynasty, but he couldn't see his own strength.

He thought that he could easily destroy the Later Jin, but in fact the Khitan at this time did not have such ability.

So Yelude, who didn't know himself, took the enemy lightly and rushed forward, ordering Zhao Yanshou to lead [-] soldiers and horses all the way to Beizhou, and even dared to divide his troops to attack Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong.

As a result, the Khitan's hundreds of thousands of troops rushed into battle without a solid rear.

The two battles under Qicheng could not be won, and there was still the danger of being flanked by the army of the later Jin Dynasty.

In the end, they had to abandon their luggage and run away. The loss of soldiers and generals alone was as high as 30,000 people.

The battle of Qicheng resulted in two extremely serious consequences.

One is that the soldiers of the later Jin court will no longer be afraid of the Khitans, and even become a little eager to compete with the Khitans.

The second is to let Zhang Zhao completely see the reality of the Khitan army.

Zhang Zhao discovered that the Khitan people's only advantage in the face of the Central Plains soldiers and generals who had been raising Gu from the late Tang Dynasty to the late Jin Dynasty was their mobility.

And Zhang Zhao's army of the Liang Kingdom did not lack mobility.

Therefore, according to calculations made by the Qionglin Academy of Liangguo and a group of military officers, if the Khitans went deep into the Central Plains, there was a great possibility that they would be defeated by the army of Liangguo.

But it was also because Yelu Deguang lost too much face last time, the battle between Jin and Liao decided that one side must fall before it can stop.

Moreover, although more than [-] soldiers were lost in the first southward war, most of them were the original Lulong Han army of Xi Ren and Zhao Yanshou.

Khitan lost less than 1000 people in the heart, and Yelu Deguang still believed that he could enter the Central Plains.

In the eighth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty, 943 A.D., at the end of September, Yelu Deguang once again held a ceremony of shooting ghost arrows and burning wood to worship the sky outside Youzhou City.

This time, the Khitan Emperor, who had finally learned his lesson, did not divide his troops to attack Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong.

He even sent someone to secretly contact Liu Zhiyuan before going south, implying that as long as Liu Zhiyuan did not act rashly, the Khitan soldiers would not attack Hedong.

This move was exactly what Liu Zhiyuan wanted, so he hurriedly summoned Guo Wei, Wang Jun, Guo Congyi, Guo Chongwei and more than ten generals to discuss.

He also took out the letter of appointment that Shi Chonggui appointed him as the inspector Taiwei and the commander of the northern camp.

Seeing this, Guo Wei stood beside Liu Zhiyuan and sneered, "How dare the emperor hand over the defense of Hebei, Shandong, and Henan to the Taiwei? There must be other arrangements?"

Liu Zhiyuan was very satisfied that Guo Wei used the word daring. In the current situation, Shi Chonggui wanted to use it but dared not use it to Liu Zhiyuan.

Moreover, Liu Zhiyuan really had no good intentions. If Shi Chonggui dared to hand over the defense north of the Yellow River to him, he would definitely not get Liu Zhiyuan's loyalty.

"Of course he doesn't dare, even if he dares, Feng Dao, Sang Weihan and others will persuade him.

On the one hand, Zhuzi appointed someone as the commander of the northern camp, but on the other hand, he appointed Du Chongwei, an incompetent generation, as the envoy of the capital to hold all the military power.

In the future, major national affairs will surely be corrupted by this person. "

For Du Chongwei, Liu Zhiyuan looked down on him a hundred times. When Shi Jingtang was around in the past, he dared to scold Du Chongwei, and now he is even more daring.

The room was a little quiet, because Liu Zhiyuan's swearing just now was aimed at Shi Chonggui.

"Since this is the case, the Taiwei cannot send troops, because the military power is in the hands of Du Chongwei. Once he sends troops, he will most likely be framed by Du Chongwei."

After half a cup of tea, Liu Zhiyuan's important confidant, Wang Jun, began to speak.

Liu Zhiyuan lowered his eyelids and nodded slowly.

There are more than ten civil servants and military generals in this house, all of whom are his confidantes, although no one said that he should not call Shi Chonggui by "Zizi", but they did not rush to support him, saying that he scolded Shi Chonggui well.

It seems that the hearts of the Jin court have not been completely lost, so we can't act too hastily.

"Of course we can't send troops. We Hedong Erlang has the important responsibility of Hedong Erlang. Yelu Deguang has always been deceitful, so we can't believe everything he says.

Xiufeng, you take [-] soldiers and horses north to Yanmen, Daizhou, to prevent the Khitans from going south again. "

Xiufeng is Wang Jun's name, and the lesson of being defeated by King Wei's army last time is just around the corner, Liu Zhiyuan also wants to guard against Yelu Deguang this time.

"Wen Zhong, work harder. Go and comfort Bai Chengfu's subordinates. These Tuyuhun people are our right-hand men, so we must not lose them."

Wen Zhong was Guo Wei's character. After giving Wang Jun the order, Liu Zhiyuan gave Guo Wei another order.

At this time, Bai Chengfu hadn't exposed his weakness of not being able to completely control the hundreds of thousands of Tuyuhun troops, so Liu Zhiyuan still relied heavily on Bai Chengfu.

And Guo Wei also knew what Liu Zhiyuan meant, and he couldn't make mistakes. It wasn't that he was careful of the Tuyuhun people from Bai Chengfu's department moving away, but that he had to beware of being drawn over by the later Jin court, or even pulled back by the Khitan people.

"Don't worry, Taiwei, so-and-so is going to see Bai Chengfu, Bai Kejiu and others."

. . . .

Liu Zhiyuan decided to wait and see, but the raging desire to fight in Liang's country seemed unstoppable.

The urgent delivery Zhang Zhao received at the Great Earthquake Pass was the news that Yelu Deguang was dispatching troops and preparing to go south.

After receiving the news that the Khitan people were going south, everyone in the Liang Kingdom was excited, and they all thought it was an excellent opportunity.

Because at this time, all the ministers and generals in Liang's country believed that Liang had the strength to defeat Khitan and Liao in the Central Plains.

It is entirely possible to take the opportunity to take down Guanzhong, attack the Jin State from both sides, and then have a decisive battle with the Khitans in the Central Plains.

However, Zhang Zhao knew that this time was not an opportunity, because the army of the late Jin Dynasty would shine brightly in this battle, which was almost the most dazzling battle of the entire Five Dynasties.

Under the absolute disadvantage, they almost sent Yelude away alone on a camel, and the [-] Khitan army lost more than half.

There was even a wave of fear of Jin in the Khitan army. A retreating Khitan army of more than [-] soldiers, who did not know where they heard rumors that the Jin army was approaching, actually collapsed, trampled and killed hundreds of people.

If Zhang Zhao plunged headlong into Guanzhong and led the Jin army over, it would be really Ti Yelude's glory.

Du Chongwei and his like would look forward to Yelu Deguang canonizing him as the Emperor of the Central Plains, but they would never believe that Zhang Zhao would canonize him as the Emperor of the Central Plains.

Once Zhang Zhao enters Guanzhong, everything will be out of control.

. . . .

In Tianshui City, since Yan Jin was transferred to be the commander-in-chief of Xiongwu Town, Zhang Zhao and him basically only saw each other a few times when Yan Jin returned to Liangzhou every year.

The general he relied on most in the past has become more and more stable.

In recent years, under Zhang Zhao's instruction, Yan Jin almost sucked up the Fengxiang and Fengzhou of Qin Wang Li Congxuan.

Today's Li Congzhen has a reputation for nothing. Apart from hundreds of life-saving dental soldiers, the rest of the elite Fengxiang Army has already been absorbed by Xiongwu Town, and the rest have returned to their hometowns to become farmers. Just move your hands.

Moreover, Chengzhou and Jiezhou to the west of Fengxiang Mansion, which is the later Gansu Longnan City, have long been cut off from the later Jin court.

Although due to Meng Shu's involvement in Jiezhou, he has not yet captured it, but most of the land has already entered the hands of Liang Guo.

Zhang Zhao told Yan Jin not to salute with a smile, and personally pulled him to sit down.

This Yan Jin is now almost No. 1 among the martial arts, and he is also the Yuan Cong faction, and he is still guarding the gate of Liangguo to Guanzhong.

Zhang Zhao wanted to overcome all opinions and not easily enter Guanzhong, so he had to be persuaded first.

However, before he could open his mouth, Yan Jin actually spoke first, "Heavenly King, I have been in Qinzhou for a long time, and I am familiar with the situation in Guanzhong, so I dare to speak up. It is not yet time to take Guanzhong."

what!This is really a coincidence. Originally, Zhang Zhao thought of many arguments to persuade Yan Jin, but unexpectedly, Yan Jin did not support entering Guanzhong.

"Listen to me, all the generals are in Longyou, Hexi, and you know the true and false in Guanzhong the best."

While motioning for Yan Jin to speak, Zhang Zhao asked Xue Shouli to go out, and called Murong Nobunaga and Fanshun who came with him to come in.

"Although the Jin court pressed for this natural disaster too much, since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, it is not uncommon for this kind of disaster year to force taxes.

Although the common people are suffering now, the local dental soldiers have made a fortune because of this, and the Jin court has also obtained millions of stone grains, which are sufficient for military use.

Therefore, although the people complained everywhere, but the army was not in chaos, there would be a catastrophe next year, but this year it was peaceful. "

Zhang Zhao nodded, thoughtfully, he understood what Yan Jin meant.

This means that although the later Jin Dynasty pushed the people into the abyss, it guaranteed the supply of the army.

In this era of warriors, if the soldiers are fed, if they don't get up and make trouble, the country can say nothing is wrong.

As for the death of a large number of civilians, the destruction of farmland, etc., the sequelae will not appear until next autumn, or even the autumn of the next year, when the great famine will come.

Seeing that Zhang Zhao had listened, Yan Jin continued.

"As for the army, because of the last battle of Qicheng, they showed confidence. The generals have been suppressed by the Khitan for several years, and they have long wanted to breathe a sigh of relief.

An Shenqi, Gao Xingzhou, Fu Yanqing, Huangfuyu, Murong Yanchao, Xue Huairang, Yao Yuanfu, Wang Zhou and others are all brave generals.

From the point of view of the general, the Khitan people may not be able to please them this time when they go south. "

"Ambassador Yan is right. The Jin army is brave, not inferior to the Khitan soldiers, and there are many complaints against the Khitan. When encountering a battle, they will be united. If my Uncle Yelu is not careful, I am afraid that there will be a big defeat. "

Zhang Zhao did not expect that Murong Nobunaga agreed with Yan Jin's opinion.

Hao Da'er spent more than half a year in the late Jin army, and also served as the left and right Longwu commanders. He also believed that the strength of the Jin army was not weaker than that of the Liao army, and corrected other people's judgments.

And there is a very critical factor here, both Yan Jin and Murong Nobunaga mentioned, that is, after Shi Jingtang's father died in Khitan, the whole army felt dissatisfied and humiliated.

With the blessing of this atmosphere, the fighting power of the Jin army will be stronger than that of other people when fighting Khitan.

"What's more, the king of heaven has always upheld loyalty, benevolence and benevolence, and entering Guanzhong at this time, it is easy for people in the world to associate us with the Khitan people.

We may even think that we are the accomplices of the Khitan people, conspiring with them to invade the Central Plains from east to west, so how can we talk about returning to the country with great righteousness? "

"Yes! Cheng Jie is right!" Zhang Zhao nodded heavily. This is the most important reason why he cannot enter Guanzhong at this moment.

At this time, Zhang Zhao entered Guanzhong, and he and Yelu Deguang were brothers by appointment, so it was easy to be regarded as a conspiracy.

In addition, Liangguo has always had a strong barbarian attribute in the eyes of the people in the world. Wouldn't it be self-confident to enter Guanzhong at this time?

"I think, not only can't enter Guanzhong at this time, but even send envoys to Tokyo again, doesn't the Jin Lord want us to return to the country again, we can talk to him.

In addition, the envoy of the Jin State hoped to buy a hundred Hexi Zheer horses last time, and he could also agree. "

Well, Zhang Zhao is going to add another fire.

Give Shi Chonggui a boost, anyway, with the bastard Du Chongwei around, Shi Chonggui can't beat Yelu Deguang anyway.

After Du Chongwei led the wolf into the house again, it was time for Zhang Zhao to enter Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

　I got off the high-speed rail at [-]:[-], I really couldn't stand it anymore, I owe another change, and I will make it up later
