Chapter 1083 The power game of the enemy, me and friends
The capture of the territory of the southern part of Fengshengzhou, which is the southeastern part of Zhangjiakou City in later generations, was originally one of the targets of the Youzhou army on the battlefield in Yandi in the fourth year of Daguan.
The so-called Yan land is actually a territory that relies on the Yanshan Mountains. To achieve the victory of form, one must occupy all Yanshan Mountains.
The terrain of Yanshan is full of high mountains and ridges in the south, hills in the northeast, and valleys in the northwest. The so-called states in the south of the mountain refer to the plain prefectures and counties relying on the southern highlands of Yanshan. That is, the later Beijing-Tianjin-Tang area, plus Langfang, Zhuozhou, Yixian and other edges.
Now, in addition to Yi County, Yizhou is also the stronghold of the Liao Kingdom. All the prefectures in Shannan have been occupied by Wu Haogu.
The states in the north of the mountain refer to a series of valleys in the northwest of Yanshan. From the terrain, they can be divided into two large blocks. Among them, Ruzhou, Khan Prefecture, Yongxing County, the capital of Fengshengzhou, and Guihua Prefecture are all connected valleys, which are considered a piece of land. The soil of these valleys is relatively fertile, and there are iron mountains and carbohydrate mines in Guihua Prefecture. Moreover, the surrounding mountains are rich in forests to be cut down, because the Sanggan River still has certain navigation capabilities and transportation is convenient. It is a very good and rich place.
In addition, the terrain of this series of valleys is very narrow. As long as you guard a few mountain passes, it will be difficult for the Liao army or future Jin soldiers to invade!
Weizhou, Hongzhou, Yingzhou, and Xijing Datong Prefecture of Liao Kingdom are another area. Compared with the valleys in southern Fengshengzhou, the valleys in Datong, Yingzhou, Weizhou, Hongzhou and other prefectures are much wider, which is conducive to the cavalry cluster movement of the Liao Kingdom. Moreover, because it is too far away from Tianjin Prefecture and it is difficult to transport resources, for Wu Haogu, it is a waste of money that is difficult to seize and guard.
Yizhou controls one of the two passages leading to the states in the south of the mountain to the states in the north of the mountain. From Yizhou, you can enter the Weizhou Basin by going to Zijing Pass, Feihukou, and then head north.
As for another passage, of course, it is to go to the southern part of Fengsheng Prefecture. After occupying Yongxing County, the capital of Fengsheng Prefecture, you can drive along the Sanggan River Valley and enter Hongzhou under Datong Prefecture.
In other words, if Wu Haogu captured Yizhou, he could block the passage of the Liao army from across Yanshan, and if he captured the southern part of Fengshengzhou, he could open the passage of Datong Prefecture, the western capital of Liao Kingdom.
Once the Datong Prefecture in Xijing is threatened by Wu Haogu, will the Liao army still have the intention to fight in Yizhou and Dingzhou?
"King, Master Ji wants us to attract the main force of the Liao army to Fengshengzhou, so as to facilitate the Song army to enter Dingzhou, Qizhou, and the northern part of Zhending Prefecture."
Outside the city of Tianjin, in the original Xuanfusi Castle, which had just hung the sign of the Beiping Prince's Mansion, Wu Haogu was listening to the analysis of the military aircraft in the General Military Room.
Now Zhao Zhongge is the general manager of the Youzhou Army, leading the infantry of a general, as well as the soldiers of the Zhang family in Pingzhou, the Zhao family in Luanzhou and the Ximen family in Yingzhou, stationed in Ping, Ying and Luanzhou, in the eastern part of Youzhou Town. Murong Mu served as the general manager of the horse army and commanded the mobile corps of the Youzhou Army. Ximen Anguo served as the general manager of the West Road of Youzhou Army, leading the troops of a general. In addition, the Liu family in Zhuozhou, the Cao family in Yizhou (Yizhou has not been taken down, but it has been sealed out), the Zuo family in Jizhou (only occupying a small part of Jizhou land), and the Yu family in Wuzhou (the land is not allocated, but can receive military pay from the Youzhou army) are stationed in Zhuozhou.
There was only one Ma Zheng, who was still with Wu Haogu. In addition, Wu Haogu also promoted several young talents such as Wang Yan, Chen Jian and Pan Ye to the core of the General Military Command.
The person who is giving Wu Haogu's advice is Pan Ye, who was born in the Pan family. He is the clan brother of Pan Yi, the son-in-law who ordered "Pan Wu to break up with friendship". He competed with Wu Haogu and Pan Qiaolian as a younger generation. He is a dual graduate of Yuntai Academy and the Knights Academy. He ignored his cousin's orders and stayed in the Wu family's army. Because of Pan Qiaolian's relationship, Wu Haogu was regarded as his own person.
Because he was a general for generations, he had many friends in Kaifeng Model New Army and Kaifeng Imperial Army, and he couldn't understand their situation very well. Therefore, he was an "expert in the Song Dynasty" and was responsible for the collection and analysis of Song army's intelligence in the general army's computer room.
By the way, the current situation in the world is no longer a confrontation between the Song and Liao, but a confrontation between the Song, Liao and Yan. However, Wu Haogu and the Song court did not break up, so they were considered "friends", while Liao was the "enemy". Now they are the enemy, and we and the friends are playing this game of throne.
"How will Tao Jiefu deploy?" Wu Haogu asked.
During this period, the personnel of the Song army in Hebei and Hedong fronts were adjusted.
Tao Jiefu, the former Hedong Road Xuanfu envoy, was transferred to Hebei, and at the same time appointed Wang Anshi's nephew Wang Xian to pacify Hedong. Han Zhi, the son of Han Zhongyan, was the ruler of Zhendingfu Road, and famous general Zhe Keshi was the ruler of Dingzhou Road, and military commander, famous general Gao Yongnian was the ruler of Gaoyangguan Road, and military commander, and military commander Wang Bing, the former Tongzhi Du Junma Commander, as the model New Army Chief and the commander of Hebei Road Xuanfu.
At the same time, the court also mobilized three new troops from Shaanxi and handed them over to Zhe Keshi and Gao Yongnian for command. In addition, the Zhe family army, who had followed Zhe Keshi to enter Zhending Prefecture with Zhe Keshi, and the three model new troops under the command of Wang Bing.
Now the imperial court has seven pretty good generals on the battlefield in Hebei!
In addition, Han Xiaozhou, who was worried about fighting in the north, took advantage of his strength and formed three infantry generals and one cavalry general in his troops. After counting the auxiliary troops, the total force was as high as 30,000!
"After next spring, the court will have eleven generals who can fight on the battlefield in Hebei!" Pan Ye said, "It is expected to be used to recover the northern territory of Dingzhou, Qizhou and Zhendingfu. Ji Xueshi hopes that our army will attack Shanbei, with the purpose of attracting some Liao troops to the north to facilitate the imperial army to recover lost territory.
This is very likely the order of the official, and Mr. Ji just did it."
"Will you attack Tianjin Prefecture?" Wu Haogu asked, "Tao Jiefu likes to do such things, right?"
"The possibility cannot be ruled out," Pan Ye thought for a while, "but it will definitely be after recovering the lost land in the northern part of Dingzhou and Zhending Prefecture and blocking the passage for the Liao people to invade again. Because the government can no longer bear the second shock!"
He still knows the hereditary timidity of the Song Dynasty officials!
"If our army was unable to conquer the southern part of Fengshengzhou for a long time, and the court was in Dingzhou, the northern part of Zhending Prefecture was successful. Tao Jiefu might have proposed a sneak attack on Tianjin, but it is difficult to get the support of the general manager of the army and horses, and they will definitely be brought to the court for discussion, so we will definitely know in advance."
Wu Haogu nodded and looked at Ma Zheng again, "Zhongfu, tell me, how should we fight?"
"King," Ma Zheng said, "the subordinate's suggestion is that we will hold on to the army first and see how the Liao people and the imperial court take action.
Now it is two countries and three parties! It is not enough to understand the actions of the court. Only by understanding the movements of the Liao people can one be invincible!
Among the three parties, we have the least force, but the most exquisite one. When tens of thousands of equipment and more than ten thousand heavy armored infantry came out, are there any enemies that cannot be defeated? But we have few people. If we disassemble them and use them, we will break them if we spread them a little bit and move them a little bit. So we would rather take action later than act first."
If Wu Haogu's armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry face the Jurchen Gundam, it may not be sure to win, but if they face the Liao and Song dynasties, they will definitely not be afraid of fighting the main force. Unless the two companies join forces and use overwhelming troops to die. However, this possibility does not exist at all, at least it cannot be seen now.
"Okay," Wu Haogu nodded, "Then we should first respond to the invitation from Ji Yi. Then bluff and even if we deal with it. Then we will see how the Liao Kingdom and the imperial court will take action!"
...
"Your Majesty, Hebei West Road is dead for our Great Liao!"
The mandarin duck is the imperial tent of the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty.
Xiao Wuna, who had just developed a plan to cause trouble for Yelu Yanxi, was pointing fingers on the wooden diagram and analyzing the situation.
"Although Yizhou is a springboard for counterattacking Xijinfu City, do we really have the strength to retake Xijinfu City?" Xiao Wuna shook his head repeatedly, "I don't think so! Since ancient times, siege has been more difficult than defending the city and field battles. When our troops meet Youzhou army, they will not only be unable to win the field battles, but even a strong city like Xijinfu can't stand for a few days..."
"That's why Wu Haogu used the magic technique!" Xiao Fengxian gritted his teeth.
Xiao Wuna nodded, "Yes, they can do magic, are we still sending it up in a daze?"
This is right!
Wu Hao has become a demon in the ancient capital. How do you fight the Liao soldiers with the flesh and bone mortal fetus?
"What should we do?" Xiao Fengxian asked, "You can't abandon Yandi, right?"
"The land of Yan is not a problem of abandoning you, but a problem of not being able to defend at all!" Xiao Wuneng said, "Now the imperial army has been deployed in Yizhou, Fengshengzhou, Dingzhou and Zhending Prefecture, Weiyingshuo, Zhongjing Road coastal and Bei'anzhou. It is too scattered, and the enemy in Yibei defeated them one by one. The most dangerous one is Xiao Temo's army deployed in Yizhou, Dingzhou, Zhending Prefecture and other places. If there is any loss, it will probably be annihilated!"
"What should we do?" Yelu Yanxi asked with a frown.
Withdrawing troops from Yandi and Hebei is just admitting defeat!
Can he, the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, afford to lose?
Moreover, the Song army is still in the East Pass outside Suzhou Town, Tokyo Road, and it is likely to use this as a base to strengthen collusion with the birth of a daughter.
This is to destroy the Great Liao Kingdom!
Moreover, even if the Song Dynasty did not intend to destroy Liao, just losing the financial losses of Yan land would cause the Great Liao Kingdom to collapse.
Now, at least the wealth that was stolen from the Song people can still be supported for a while. Once these savings are spent, the Great Liao Kingdom will fall apart.
"Your Majesty," Xiao Wuna stretched out his finger and tapped it gently on a corner of the wooden picture, "Look here!"
Yelu Yanxi leaned over and looked, "Yanmen Pass? Can it work?"
Chapter completed!
