Chapter 1252 The real enemy

Take the Korean Peninsula in the south!

Wanyan Aguda's body suddenly shook, and a trace of light burst out from his eyes, as if he had suddenly realized something.

The three counties of Han Peninsula, Lelang, Silla and Baekje were originally border counties of the Han Dynasty. Only because Liu Bei attacked the Qingxu Sea from the sea in exchange for Sun Ce, Liu Bei ceded these three counties to Sun Ce.

As a result, Sun Ce was defeated by Emperor Tao Shang of Wei and was driven out of the sea. Liu Bei did not take anything and lost three counties.

Sun Ce, who returned to the Japanese island, was naturally unwilling to be driven out of the mainland, so in recent years, he has been operating the three counties of the peninsula, trying to use them as a springboard to continue to counterattack the mainland.

Not long ago, when Wanyan Agu raised an army and captured Manzhou, Sun Ce took the opportunity to send general Taishi Ci to the north to try to get involved in Manzhou.

Unfortunately, the Japanese army had mediocre strength in the marine battle. Tiefutu, which was beaten by Wanyan Agu, several times, had to spit out the two counties south of Manzhou that were swallowed in the chaos.

In order to concentrate on the army to enter the Central Plains and to appease Sun Ce, Wanyan Aguda took advantage of the opportunity to win and held a peace talk with Sun Ce. For this reason, he also cut off three or four counties on the border to Sun Ce, which was considered a gift.

Sun Ce saw Wanyan Aguda's power and knew that with his army's ability, he could not invade Manzhou. He had to follow the situation and take over several counties. After nominally forming allies with Wanyan Aguda and jointly deal with the Tao merchant's Dawei.

Although the two families were called allies, they had ulterior motives. Wanyan Aguda knew Sun Ce's greed very well, so when the army immediately set out to fight for Shanhaiguan, they also left at least 10,000 elite troops in the border areas of the peninsula to prevent Sun Ce from stabbing him in the back.

Just like Pang Tong's plan, if he could take down all three counties on the Korean Peninsula, he would indeed greatly enrich his national strength and relieve the threat from Sun Ce. In the future, he would have no worries and all his strength to enter the Central Plains.

The most important point is that Pang Tong saw Wanyan Aguda’s intention to be emperor.

Wanyan Aguda's wishful thinking was to take advantage of this to seize Shanhaiguan, destroy the prestige of the Wei army, suppress any opposition, and realize his dream of becoming emperor.

Unfortunately, the destruction of Tiefutu severely damaged his reputation. If he barely became emperor, he would probably be difficult to convince the public.

Therefore, Wanyan Aguda urgently needed another victory to make up for his loss of prestige, so as to help him suppress the opposition and ascend the throne to emperor.

Conquering the Korean Peninsula and expanding territory for the Great Jurchens is the best opportunity.

After thinking about it, Wanyan Aguda fell into hesitation.

"The Great Shanyu annexed three counties of the Korean Peninsula, which is insignificant compared to seizing Shanhaiguan and conquering the Central Plains. If we give up like this, I, Doeryan, will be the first to be unwilling to give up!"

In silence, Doeryan, who was injured on his body, endured the pain and shouted indignation.

Not willing to give up!

These three words were like a stick, hitting Wanyan Aguda's head, awakening him as a stick.

"That's right, I'm going to give up like this, how could I be willing to do this!"

Wanyan Aguda slapped the table a few times and said angrily: "That's right, our army finally reached Shanhaiguan, how can we give up? First join forces with Yelu Abaoji and join forces to attack Wei. If it fails, then use the second plan of Shiyuan to return to Manzhou and capture the three counties of the peninsula!"

Wanyan Aguda had made up his mind and immediately sent an envoy from the grassland to the Xianbei map. He rushed to Pingcheng on a starry night to meet Yelu Abaoji and discuss the joint efforts.

At the same time, Wanyan Aguda rewarded the soldiers under his command with wine and meat, which aroused the fighting spirit of the soldiers again. The army went south again and approached Shanhaiguan.

Given that the Tiefutu was destroyed, Wanyan Aguda naturally did not dare to be so crazy that he fought against the Tao merchant again, or even dared to fight head-on. He set up camp thirty miles away from Shanhaiguan to form a confrontation.

The Jurchens had such a deep groove and high base, and they defended without fighting, but the Tao Merchants were unhappy to see that he launched several attacks several times, but failed to break through the Jurchens' camp.

The enemy and us fought at Shanhaiguan, forming a stalemate.

...

Before I knew it, one month had passed.

Shanhaiguan.

In the lobby of Guancheng, the Taoist merchant stood with his hands behind his back, staring at the map of the whole province hanging on the wall, and discussing plans with Liu Ji, Li Cunxiao and other advisers to retreat to the enemy.

"Report - Pingcheng urgently reported!" Before the voice came, a figure shot into the lobby like a cannonball.

It's Dai Zong.

"Yelu Abaoji wants to take the opportunity to make trouble again?" Tao Shang turned around slowly and asked calmly.

"Your Majesty is really a magical trick." Dai Zong bowed, "Report to Your Majesty, the envoy of Wanyan Aguda arrived in Pingcheng seven days ago. It is said that he had reached an alliance agreement with Yelu Abaoji to try to join forces to divide our Great Wei. The troops and horses in the Xianbei territory also began to gather secretly. Yelu Abaoji is likely to take the opportunity to invade our Great Wei again."

The ministers in the hall all moved slightly.

"With Yelu Abaoji, well, this is a good move." Tao Shang turned around and took over the information from Dai Zongcheng.

The information clearly stated that Wanyan Aguda's envoy brought a large number of generous gifts and rushed to Pingcheng on a night and was received by the girl Sheng of Yelu Abaoji. News broke out in Pingcheng, claiming that Yelu Aguda had promised Wanyan Aguda. The two of them made an appointment to be brothers, so Keri raised his troops and headed south again.

In the lobby, there was a lot of discussion.

"In recent months, Yelu Abaoji has secured the cities inside and outside the Great Wall that were cut from Liu Bei. His strength has increased and he is urgently needed a victory to gain enough prestige and become emperor. Now that Wanyan Aguda takes the initiative to unite, it is indeed an opportunity for him. In this way, he is very likely to go south in large numbers." Li Cunxiao analyzed.

Yue Fei also said solemnly: "The Yelu Abaoji mixed with Hu Han's troops. He has both the Xianbei cavalry and the Central Plains infantry under his command. His strength is far from comparable to the Maodun era. I heard that when Ma Jun rebelled in An Lushan, he fled to the Xianbei because of fear and was treated well by Yelu Abaoji. At this time, he was helping Abaoji to create many powerful siege weapons such as thunder cannons. Once successful, the Xianbei people's siege ability will definitely increase greatly. By that time, the threat we face on the border cannon cannons cannons."

Yue Fei's words made all the generals present change in their descriptions, and a hint of horror flashed between his eyebrows.

Before, they always thought that Liu Bei and his Han Kingdom were the biggest enemy of the Great Wei. If the Han Kingdom was destroyed, there would be no enemy of the Great Wei in the world.

Now it seems that although the Han Kingdom has been destroyed and the Central Plains has been unified, an unprecedentedly powerful grassland empire has risen silently in the northern border.

This grassland empire is no longer just a nomadic empire like the Huns who lived in the grass, but has extended its minions inside and outside the Great Wall, and obtained hundreds of thousands of Han survivors, mixed with Hu Han, and took the powerful cavalry and combat capabilities of the Han people, as well as the Han people's infantry fighting ability and siege ability. They all received help from Shi Jingtang, Gao Changgong, Liu Heita, Sima Yi and other Han ministers.

Such a Xianbei Empire is far stronger than the Han Dynasty ruled by Liu Bei.

If such a powerful empire is invaded by a large number of southward forces, it will be difficult for the Wei Dynasty to deal with it, let alone the Jurchen tribe who is also emerging and rising and fighting spirit.

"The two enemies are indeed a big problem for the Great Wei!" Liu Ji shook his feather fan and made a decisive conclusion in his tone.

"Your Majesty, what should we do?" Guan Yinping couldn't help asking, his tone was already a little uneasy.

Guan Xiaotong frowned and said, "What else can we do? The Xianbei people are so powerful, how can we fight on two fronts? Of course, we will leave a general who will confront Wanyan Agu here. His Majesty personally led the main force to the western front to deal with Yelu Abaoji."

Although Guan Xiaotong was not good at using troops, her words were still approved by most generals. Many of them also believed that Yelu Abaoji was a big problem and that Tao merchants would return to the army to deal with it.

In a solemn atmosphere, only the Tao merchant always had a calm expression, as if he had no fear of it.

After listening to the comments of the ministers, Tao Shang smiled coldly and said disapprovingly: "What a panic? Isn't it just Yelu Abaoji? What a big deal? After forced Wanyan Agu to retreat and return to Manzhou, I will do my best to deal with him."

Go back to Manzhou?

The generals were stunned, looking at each other, all suspiciously and confused.

"Then Wanyan Agu daddled the door and did not fight, just to drag us here. Our attacks several times were useless. How could he go back to Manzhou by himself?" Guan Xiaotong couldn't help but ask.
