Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"Do you want to resupply in Yanzhou?"

Wei Ming Anhui hesitated for a while, it is fine not to supply supplies in Yanzhou, after all, he can reach Xiping Mansion in two days.

It doesn't matter whether it is replenished or not, because Li Qianshun passed away last night.

Only two imperial doctors named An Hui and Li Qianshun knew about this matter, and they dared not tell anyone else.

"Replenish it." Wei Ming Anhui hesitated and said.

Soon, they arrived under the city tower.

"Wei Mingxiang, why did this tower collapse?"

Wei Ming Anhui looked shocked, and said: "No, there is a Song army in Yanzhou."

The whole army immediately became vigilant, and then began to prepare to retreat.

At this moment, Yeli Rongwang's voice came from the tower: "Where are you going?"

Weiming Anhui turned around and saw Nori Rongwang waving to him with a smile.

Yeli Rongwang's rank is not low, he is the deputy commander of the Beijing Normal Guards, and a nobleman of the party.

Since Li Yuanhao's time, the Ye Li family has produced famous generals in large numbers.

Nori Renrong is the founder of Xixia script.

"Nori Rongwang, why are you here?"

"Hahaha, I arrived in the morning."

"This..." An Hui, who was named Wei, looked around and was a little astonished. He asked, "What's going on in Yanzhou City?"

"The Song Army came to attack Yanzhou City, but they have already been repelled."

Wei Ming An Hui turned around and asked, "How many Song troops are here?"

"About eight thousand."

Wei Ming Anhui thought for a while and asked, "Is there still food and grass in the city?"

"Yes." Nori Rongwang said, "Where is Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty is within the imperial carriage."

An Huizai, whose name is Wei, looked at Yeli Rongwang carefully, and Yeli Rongwang said: "Then let your majesty go to the city to rest!"

Shang Zhu said on the side: "Your Majesty, Mr. Wei, is not feeling well. You really should take a rest. The Song Army will not come after you for a while. Everyone will set off after supplies."

"Okay!" Wei Ming An Hui nodded.

As a result, as soon as the army entered the city, the city gate was closed again.

There were screams in the city.

In the evening, Brother Li Cha also arrived in Yanzhou.

Yeli Rongwang and Weiming Anhui stood on the top of the wall, smiling and waving to Brother Li Cha: "His Royal Highness King Jin!"

"Why are you two here?"

Wei Ming Anhui said: "Let's replenish food and grass, hurry up and enter the city, His Royal Highness Jin Wang marched for a day and a night, he was exhausted."

"What happened to the tower?"

"The Song army has come and has been repelled."

Zhang Chunming whispered in Brother Li Cha's ear, "It's a bit weird."

"How to say?"

"Wei Ming An Hui has a grudge against His Highness, so he will kindly ask His Highness to enter the city for supplies?" Zhang Chunming thought very quickly, "Besides, the Song army repelled, but the main force of the Song army is still in Youzhou, and they may call at any time , These two people should retreat as soon as they are replenished, and there is absolutely no need to wait for us to come."

"You mean, the city has already..."

"Yes."

Brother Li Cha took a deep breath, pretended he didn't know anything, and said lightly: "After one of the troops is cut off, we will withdraw immediately."

"Yes!"

Seeing that Brother Li Cha had run away, Anhui, who was named Wei, hurriedly shouted: "His Royal Highness, where are you going? Come back quickly, Your Majesty is in the city!"

"Your Highness, don't look back." Zhang Chunming reminded.

"Should we storm Yanzhou?" Brother Li Cha asked, "Your Majesty may really be inside."

"Our army's morale is low, and we don't know the strength of the Song army in the city. If the Song army from behind pursues us again, we will all die here. Your Highness must focus on the overall situation of Daxia!"

Brother Li Cha no longer hesitated, and hurriedly accelerated his march.

A scolding voice named An Hui came from behind: "Brother Li Cha, Your Majesty is in Yanzhou, you dare to go first! You are disrespectful!"

The scouts relayed the information to Wei Xiang.

Yang Zheng rushed out with a knife in his hand: "I'll go after him!"

"return!"

"Now Xixia people are like dogs that lose their homes. I will kill them all when I go out of the city!"

"It's already dark, and the Xixia people have not completely lost their fighting power."

"Did you just watch them run?"

"That's enough. Even the Lord Xia is in our hands. Hurry up and arrange someone to go to Youzhou to report the death of the Lord Xia." Wei Xiang said.

On the second day, that is, in the early morning of the eighth day of October, Zhao Ning received an urgent report that was sent overnight.

"Li Qianshun is dead?" Zhao Ning was quite surprised.

"Wei Xiang from Yanzhou sent it. He is the General Staff of the East Road Army. Wu Jie is at Yanmen Pass. He is the temporary commander of this battle."

Zhao Ning said: "Take another two days of recuperation, leave part of the medical treatment and logistics, and properly deal with the wounded and the dead."

Chapter 1076 The Dilemma of the Kingdom of Jin ([-]rd update)

On the eighth day of October, the Battle of Youzhou ended, the Xixia elite collapsed, Xia Lord Li Ganshun died in depression, and the powerful minister named Anhui was captured.

Brother Li Cha, another military minister, fled to Xingqing Mansion in a hurry.

On this day, Zhang Jun's troops also arrived in Lingzhou in Xiping Prefecture after trekking for several days.

The Xixia scouts in Lingzhou became more frequent than ever.

Every piece of information is telling the chief general of Lingzhou that the Song army has plenty of troops.

Not only that, Li Yanxian, who was leading an elite cavalry at this time, crossed the Shaming River, and the front of the soldiers had already pointed directly at Shunzhou, which was less than [-] miles northwest of Lingzhou.

This area already belongs to the core area of ​​Xixia. Shunzhou, Lingzhou, and Huaizhou are located in the southwest, south and east of Xingzhou, the capital of Xixia, respectively. To the west of Xingzhou is Helan Mountain. Of course, the north of Xingzhou is also There is Dingzhou.

They defended Xingzhou in the middle with full defense.

On the whole, the Xixia people once blocked the iron hooves of the Daliao and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty.

For fighting the Song army, the Hengshan line of defense is naturally the most important.

If the Hengshan line of defense is lost, Lingzhou in Xiping Prefecture, located to the south of Xingqing Prefecture, is the most important line of defense.

That is, Zhang Jun's army is pointing at this time.

If Xiping Mansion's defenses were breached, Xingqing Mansion would basically be completely exposed to the Song Army's iron heels.

Just like when Kaifeng Mansion was exposed under the iron hooves of the Golden Army.

The current situation in Xixia can be described as precarious.

Even Brother Li Cha is now counting on Jin Guo to intervene.

But none of them knew that the country of Jin was not peaceful at this time.

It is too weak to describe it as uneven. The war in Liaodong made the elders in Beijing fearful, so that the power struggle within the Kingdom of Jin was turbulent.

Jin Wushu was in Hebei at this time, in Yizhou, he dared not leave Yizhou.

Because Yue Fei is less than thirty miles away from him, once he leaves Yizhou, Yue Fei will definitely take Yizhou immediately.

As for Zhang Xian, who spent a month in Jizhou, it was not until Han Chang's army withdrew from Yinshan Mountain and entered Xijin Mansion that Zhang Xian's threat was quickly blocked.

While Han Chang divided his troops to rescue Jizhou, the main force had to rush to Liaodong.

Yanjing at the end of September was already cold, and in early October, Liaoyang was already snowing heavily.

Han Shizhong's camp is just outside Liaoyang City.

There was a booming sound outside, and it was the stone cannons of the Song Army hitting the wall of Liaoyang City.

This is the first time Song Jun has pushed to Liaoyang.

Liaoyang is the Tokyo of the Kingdom of Jin. It is the core area, an important agricultural area, and an important population area.

If Liaoyang is occupied by the Song army, then the two most important areas, Shangjing and Yanjing, will be cut off by the Song army.

What are the consequences?

It is equivalent to Jin Wushu can re-establish a political power in Yanjing, anyway, Shangjing has no control over him.

But here comes the problem, Yan Yun is cut off from Jin Guo, and Jin Guo will be directly beaten back to the tribal system.

why?

Most of the powerful Han people in Jin Kingdom are from Yanyun.

Without the support of these powerful Han clans, it would have been impossible for the Kingdom of Jin to maintain the imperial bureaucracy in its internal affairs.

Let Shangjing, which is full of Jurchen nobles everywhere, govern a country, they are more willing to establish a slave system.

In this way, Zhao Ning can break through the divided Jin Kingdoms one by one, and the pressure will be much less.

but!

Want to take down Liaoyang?

impossible!

Geng anxiously walked in and said, "Han Shuai, the latest news is that the Jin Army's reinforcements from Yanjing have arrived."

"How much has it been?"

"There is no exact number, at least more than [-]."

"There may be more!" Han Shizhong slammed the wine bowl on the table.

Geng Zhuo knew that Han Shizhong was annoyed at not being able to capture Liaoyang.

Han Shizhong glanced at Geng Zhuo and asked, "Do you really want to withdraw?"

"If you want to withdraw, you must withdraw!"

"No chance?"

"Liaodong is about to enter the most severe cold season. Our people can't bear this winter at all. If we attack Liaoyang by force, even if we attack it, we will suffer great damage. Once the reinforcements of the Jin army arrive, we may even withdraw. The chances are gone, so..."

"So there is no need to fight Liaoyang?"

"Yes, our mission has been completed. We have restrained the Jin people's forces in Yanyun and captured Gaizhou. Han Shuai can't afford to fight."

Han Shizhong stood up, walked out of the camp, looked up and saw the collapsed part of Liaoyang City, and said, "Let's withdraw our troops."

"Yes."

On October [-], the Liaodong Dragon Guards retreated after pretending to attack Liaoyang.

The Liaodong crisis in the Kingdom of Jin has essentially been resolved.

However, the bullets are still flying.

Shangjingcheng did not get the news, but under the intense attack of foreign enemies, it fell into political chaos.

In the past month, a large number of nobles and capable ministers who launched political attacks on Jin Wushu appeared in the court of the Kingdom of Jin.

For example, Wanyan Zongjun, who returned to Shangjing from Hebei, publicly stated in the court hall that Wushu had monopolized the power. In name, he was attacking the Song Dynasty, but in essence he was suspected of treason.

Many memorials sent from the Privy Council of Yanjing also publicly stated that Wushu was vigorously cultivated in Hebei by bureaucrats who only listened to him.

The bureaucrats in Yanyun all over the country only know Wanyan Wushu, but not His Majesty the Emperor in Shangjing.

The Yanjing Privy Council is the yamen under Jin Wushu's eyelids, how could it be possible to write such unfavorable words for Jin Wushu?
