Chapter 43: Youyan Town Guards

An error occurred while processing s private file

On the 20th of the month, Zhe Yanzhi left Datong and rushed to the northwest.,,t

On the same day, Li Hu ordered the appointment of Dong Xiaochou as the commander of the middle road, leading the main troops of the resentful army and Yisheng army to advance to Yunnei. Luo Qinghan was the commander of the east road, leading the main troops of Heishan, Shenlong and other troops out of Dezhou, and advancing to Yunnei along the north bank of the Jin River. Mao's army was the commander of the west road, leading the Huli Army to cross the Yellow River west, joining the Zhejia Army, heading north along the west bank of the Yellow River, and killing Yunnei.

More than 100,000 troops flocked out, and the situation in Daibei suddenly became tense.

On the same day, Li Hu invited Huang She and Chai Yun rushed to Bianjing.

After hearing what Zhe Yanzhi said, Li Hu did not dare to trust Li Gang and Yuwen Xuzhong too much, especially in this strategy, Li Hu did not dare to make any leaks, for fear that they would report to Bianjing secretly.

The army of Huliu Mansion came out in a mighty manner, attacking together with three groups, with great momentum. The people of Xixia did not hesitate too much, and immediately retreated and retreated directly to the Tiande Army.

Brother Richard had received a report from the Jurchens, knowing that Li Hu gave up Yanjing, and the Jurchens also gave up Yanjing in order to conquer the desert. In this way, the situation would be very unfavorable to Xixia.

Brother Li Cha, Li Renli, Li Liangfu and others urgently reported to Xingqing Mansion while discussing countermeasures. After thinking about it, they had to withdraw.

The opportunity to attack Datong has been lost. The decisive battle with Li Hu in Yunnei was something that Li Hu could not get. The Xixia people had limited troops and limited strength. If they fought on both sides and dealt with Li Hu and the powerful Dasong at the same time, they could not hold on. At this time, they used the limited troops to fight Li Hu in a decisive battle, and even if they won, they could not conquer Datong. Behind Li Hu, Dasong, was supported by Dasong, and Xixia could not get Dasong, so the best and only feasible way was to retreat, defend with all their might, mobilize the people of the entire Xixia Kingdom, and take up weapons to fight to protect their homes.

In his letter to Li Cha, Wanyan also suggested that he give up Daibei and guard Xixia with all his might. This is very straightforward, which is equivalent to telling Brother Cha that I can't help you, so you can do it yourself.

The Jin Kingdom's goal for a period of time is to be the desert. It doesn't care about the Western Xia. But in order to consume the strength of the Song and Xia countries and Li Hu lands, the Jurchens of course hope that the Xixia people will shrink their defense and then fight with the Song and Li Hu lands to lose both sides. If the Xixia fails too early and retreats to the distant Hexi or even to the Western Regions, it will be detrimental to the Jin Kingdom to achieve the strategy of unifying the northern regions.

Cha Ge had no choice. The Xingqing Prefecture land was just in time and the order was arrived. He agreed to withdraw his troops. So all the Xixia people retreated to the Tiande Army. And some of its main forces rushed south to reinforce the southern border and guard against the attacks of the Song people.

March.

Li Hu arrived at the Yunnei front line and met Yelu Mage and Yelu Dashi. Now Yelu Dashi is a member of the Privy Council and is in charge of the Daliao military affairs with Mage.

Li Hu was straightforward and told Ma Ge and Dashi clearly that he should not hesitate anymore. Depose Yelu Yanxi immediately and establish a new king. Otherwise, I will take action. If you don’t want to depose him, I will kill him.

Ma Ge and Dashi were still hesitant and dared not do such a ruthless thing, but the news was transmitted to the palace tent through the Khitans who defected to Li Hu. Soon, everyone knew that Li Hu was going to take revenge, and he wanted to kill the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty and make the King of Qin the new emperor.

The Khitan emperor was scared and asked Ma Ge to lead his army to recover the collapsed ridge, and asked Yelu Dashi to go to the Yuanyang area to restrain the main force of the Jin army and transfer both commanders away.

When Yelu Dashi arrived in the Yuanyang area, he immediately sent someone to contact Yelu Yuji, persuaded him to leave the Jurchens and go to the desert to rebuild the Great Liao with him. Yelu Yuji was so determined that he would never serve the emperor again. The news was found out by his subordinates and reported to Wanyan. Wanyan was furious and arrested Yelu Yuji and his subordinates. Fortunately, the evidence was insufficient, otherwise they would be killed. At this moment, Zong Wang was ordered to go to the northwest battlefield, and he tried his best to persuade him, and Wanyan released Yelu Yuji and others.

In April, Zong Wang rushed to Li Hu's army and asked Li Hu to fulfill his promise and immediately arrest Yelu Yanxi. Li Hu didn't want to do it himself, as it would anger the Khitans and would not make it difficult to push all the Khitans to the Jurchens, so he told Zong Wang about the location of Yelu Yanxi's palace tent and asked Zong Wang to arrest him.

Zong Wang was overjoyed. After returning to Yuanyang, he set up a plan, asking Yelu Yuji to pretend to turn against him and lure Yelu Dashi into an ambush circle. Yelu Dashi was buried in the middle and fought to break through the siege. In the end, Xiao Long fled to Li Hu's army with more than a thousand people, but Yelu Dashi was injured and captured in order to cover his subordinates' breakthrough.

Zong Wang and Wanyan Olu immediately led their troops to attack the Liao Palace tent. Yelu Yanxi happened to take the army to capture Caogu. King Qin, King Xu, concubines, princesses, and ministers were all captured. Even the emperor's jade seal was robbed, but one of Liang was escaped. King Liang Yelu Yali, the emperor's second son, was taken away by Taibao's parents-in-law.

Zong Wang refused to give up, and with Lou Shi and Yin Shuke led his army to chase Yelu Yanxi. The two sides met on the grassland, and Yelu Mage also arrived with reinforcements. The two sides fought decisively and the Liao army was defeated.

Yelu Mage fled to Li Hu's army with his defeated generals for help, while Yelu Yanxi fled to Tiande Army again. The Emperor of Xia State Li Qianshun asked him to take refuge in Xingqing Prefecture.

After repeated, I felt that I could not live my life under someone else's roof, so I continued to stay in the Yinshan area)

Upon hearing the news, Li Hu hurriedly sent someone to the Jin army camp to redeem Yelu Dashi, but Zong Wang was still chasing Yelu Yanxi. Yelu Dashi was in Zong Wang's army and would not come back for a while.

Li Hu hoped that Yelu Mage would face the reality, go to the desert to meet with Yelu Yaris and Yelu Dilie, and seek support from some of the foreign tribes in the desert, proclaim himself emperor, and rebuild the Liao Dynasty. Yelu Mage refused, and he took Xiao Long and more than 2,000 remaining soldiers, and asked Li Hu for three thousand war horses and food and weapons, and rushed to Yinshan to find Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi was missing. Yelu Mage met Yelu Dilie, deputy commander of the Northwest Army. The two found Taibao Te's mother-in-law and Liang King Yelu Yali. After careful discussion, the three decided to take Liang King to the desert to rebuild the Liao Dynasty.

When Li Hu received the news from Brother Ma, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, the Khitans finally gave up Yelu Yanxi and began to embark on the difficult road to rebuild the Great Liao.

In April, the Jin army withdrew from Yanjing. Tong Guan and Cai You led their troops to Yanjing and officially took over the seven prefectures in Shanqian.

Wang Anzhong and Tong Guan and Cai You were very worried about establishing the garrison army. Hebei had few troops and had no combat power, so he could not control Youyan. If he wanted to establish the garrison army in Youyan, he could only use Guo Yaoshi's ever-winning army. Guo Yaoshi's ever-winning army was originally from the Han people in Liaodong, and Guo Yaoshi himself was a senior officer of the Liao Dynasty. It was indeed very appropriate to ask him to guard Youyan. It could also show the Song Dynasty's trust in the Han people in Youyan, but the Song Dynasty did not trust Youyan Han people. They were worried that these Han captives would rebel and rebel, they were worried that they would surrender to the Jurchens, and they were worried that they would hold their own troops like Li Hu.

However, time waited for no one. Li Hu's army had entered Yunnei and began the western expedition. The Northwest Army was about to return to Shaanxi immediately. In addition, the Northern Expedition Army also had to go through the army. If this took a long time, the military expenditure would be too large. However, at the same time, Xiao Gan's army frequently attacked the Lulong area, and Zhang Jue's army also threatened Yanjing at all times. The Song Dynasty urgently needed a powerful Youyan Town Guard Army.

In April, Bianjing issued an order, and Guo Yaoshi, the prosecutor, the governor of the Wutai Army, and the commander of Yanshan Prefecture, was responsible for establishing the Youyan Town Garage Army, the main force was the ever-winning army. Guo Yaoshi was grateful to the emperor's grace. While leading the army to fight against Xiao Gan, he actively sent people to contact Zhang Jue and prepared to recover Pingzhou Road.

At the end of April, Tong Guan led the Northern Expedition Army to evacuate Youyan.

In April, Cha Ge met with Li Hu and the two sides began peace talks.

While bargaining with the Xixia people, Li Hu trained troops in Yunnei to prepare for the Western Expedition.

Huang She and Chai Yun met Prince Yun in Bianjing, and the two sides discussed several times. Prince Yun was moved by Li Hu's suggestion. After careful consideration, he wrote a letter to the emperor and took the initiative to ask for the emperor to inspect and appease him on behalf of the emperor.

The emperor did not agree. This matter was far more complicated than expected. It must be weighed clearly before considering it.

The king immediately wrote to Zhe Yanzhi and asked about the Western Expedition.

In May, the emperor issued an order, and the Prime Minister Wang made great contributions to regaining Yan Yun and gave him a jade belt. A few days later, he appointed the king as the tutor, Zheng Juzhong as the tutor, and became the second-class chief of the prime minister. After a few days, the emperor was still unsatisfied and appointed the king as the governor of the three affairs.

Tong Guan was promoted and promoted to Duke of Xuyu, but because he was old, he voluntarily resigned. The emperor agreed to retire and returned home. Cai You became a junior teacher. Liu Yanqing was responsible for defeat, but the key evidence was insufficient. No one could prove whether there was a 100,000 army to attack Liangxiang at night. Therefore, the emperor was lightly sent, demoted to the government and relocated to Yunzhou, and soon he was appointed as the governor of Zhenhai Army.

When Wang Chunfeng was proud, the emperor summoned him and said that he planned to ask Prince Yun to inspect and appease him on his behalf, so as to urge Li Hu to launch the Western Expedition as soon as possible.

The king understood as soon as he heard that the sweet dates given by the emperor were delicious, but they had to pay the price. At this moment, he was less than ten thousand people alone, and when he was proud, he didn't think much about it. He agreed and patted his chest to promise that the chief of the three provinces would be able to handle the ancestral system and make sure that Prince Yun could take real positions and inspect Yunzhong Road instead of the emperor.

In May, the emperor issued an order, and Zhao Kai, the Prince of Yun, inspected Yunzhonglu as a special envoy. One of them was specially added, and the important mission was to supervise Li Hu to fight westward. In the court, ministers wrote letters to advise, believing that this move was inappropriate and violated the ancestral system, but the emperor and the prime minister ignored it.

In May, two major events happened to Youyan.

First, Guo Yaoshi led his army to defeat Xiao Gan, and cut off Xiao Gan's head and sent it to Bianjing. Xiao Gan's army was basically captured by Guo Yaoshi, and Guo Yaoshi's strength increased greatly.

Secondly, Zhang Jue from Pingzhou Road betrayed the Jurchens and defected to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty accepted Zhang Jue and appointed him as the governor of the Taining Army, and guarded Pingzhou Road for generations.

Wanyan Aguda was furious when he heard the news. He wrote to the Song Dynasty, asking the Song Dynasty to abide by the alliance and not accept Zhang Jue. At the same time, he mobilized the army to attack Pingzhou Road.
