"There are at least a few thousand cavalrymen, all of them are elite Jurchen..."

"Do you know where it came from?"

"It should have been opened from Linhuang Mansion."

"should?"

"It was the Jurchen scout who caught it. The one who led the troops was Wanyan Zongwang, who was the deputy left-behind of Tokyo, the Jin Dynasty."

"How many Jin soldiers are there in Linhuang Mansion?"

"Four Meng'ans, forty Moukes, the main soldiers should be 12,000, and there are also some cute ancients who are hired."

In Baoyi Pavilion, Xiao Sesse, who had just arrived in the Eastern Liao army and a Zhou army's siege artillery battalion, was presiding over the military convention.

The heroine of Dongliao was wearing a capable and simple Zhou Jun uniform, without any makeup, with a bun of beautiful hair, and was only forked with a wooden hairpin. If it weren't for the bloating chest and the beautiful appearance, she would be no different from the ordinary senior Zhou Jun general.

Her son Yelu Aoluwo and daughter Xiao Dao'aoye also dressed similarly to her. Aoluwo sat modestly beside her, looking like a good son. He was really obedient in Empress Xiao's army, without any disobedience to his mother, kind and polite to the soldiers, and had great rewards. Even Wu Yixin, the "competitor", was very intimate, and shouted "third brother" one by one.

Xiao Da'aoye stood beside Empress Xiao, pressing the hilt of the sword with one hand, looking like a loyal and protective posture of protecting his mother.

Of course, there was no sharp sword in her scabbard, but a wooden sword!

This daughter is still in the probation period...

"Where is the main force of Aguda?" Xiao Sesse stood up and strode to the map platform placed in the center of the hall.

The generals in the hall, including Yelu Aoluwu, came up and surrounded the map platform.

"It should be hidden in the thousand-mile pine forest," Li Xiaozhong replied, "It is also possible to march in secludedly and enter Linhuang Mansion City."

Saying it means not saying it.

Xiao Sesse frowned slightly. If Aguda's main force was in the Thousand Mile Pine Forest, then he should be on the Linhuang Mansion City now. As long as he can break through Linhuang Mansion, Dongliao will be invincible.

As for how to break the Linhuang Mansion, which was also transformed into a bastion, it is not the issue that Empress Dowager Xiao has to consider...

If Aguda had already sneaked into Linhuang Mansion with the main force, then with Xiao Sesse's hands, he would not be able to defeat Linhuang Mansion no matter what.

The best choice is to wait for Zhou Guo’s reinforcements to arrive in Baoyi Pavilion, and then join forces to consider whether to attack.

But there is not enough information for reference, so we can only rely on guessing and betting.

"Empress," Wu Yixin interrupted at this time, "You can send troops to touch and see where this Jin soldier is going. If they retreat north, it means that Aguda is likely to have arrived in Linhuang Mansion.

If they go west, then Aguda will probably be in the thousands of miles of pine forests.”

This method... actually has the ingredients of confusion!

It's just a little less reliable than just betting big.

"Okay! Just do it!" Xiao Sesse made a quick decision and made a decision. This woman was brave and dared to bet. In the original history, she not only tricked Yelu Yanxi, but also dared to make direct advice. Later, she colluded with Yelu Yuji to launch a coup, but was discovered by Xiao Fengxian and lost her life.

In this time and space, she also gambled to get rid of Yelu Yanxi like a bet, and then treated herself as a bet to support Bowu Haogu. And she was lucky and succeeded one after another, and of course she became more and more courageous.

"The whole army gathers together and hand over the outer fortress to the front army." Xiao Sesse ordered, "Three days later, except for the defenders and heavy artillery battalions in Baoyiguan, the whole army will attack!"

"Here!"

The generals in the hall had no objection to the Queen Mother's order, but just responded with a loud voice.

Wars are already gambling, and now the choices that are placed in front of the Dongliao Army are not complete.

Since that's the case, let's take a gamble!

Anyway, Empress Xiao is very lucky, and it is a good time to have a big gamble!

...

When Empress Xiao made a big bet, Wu Haogu had already entered Dading Prefecture City under the protection of an infantry division and his escort battalion.

Although the Dading Prefecture was the foundation of the Eastern Liao Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiao pulled away all the main forces and left a defenseless Dading Prefecture for Wu Haogu.

"The Head of State and the Queen Mother led the troops away first because of the urgent military situation. Let the old minister stay in Dading Prefecture and wait for the Grand Prix. But if he had the order, the old ministers would obey!"

In the palace of Dading Prefecture, the one who welcomed Wu Haogu with the left-behind Dongliao officials and Empress Dowager Xiao's two cheap daughters, Oriyan and Ci'aoye, was the Prime Minister of the Nanfu.

Uriyan and Juye are both fifteen or sixteen years old. Although they are not as beautiful as Yu Liyan and Ooye, they look fresh and delicious. Now they are also blessed with Wu Hao Gu Yingying.

"My daughter pays homage to her wielding father, and her mother ordered her slaves to serve her wielding father on her behalf..."

The voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end, I simply couldn't hear it... The two little girls' faces were red and their heads were pressing low, as if they wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

Because the so-called "serving" certainly includes going to bed!

This is actually no big deal. The grasslands and forests in the north are like this. It is natural for the kings of the lords to visit when they visit, and the kings of the dependent countries to provide beautiful women with their clans to accompany them.

Now that Empress Xiao is not here, there is nothing wrong with letting her two cheap daughters fulfill their obligations.

However, Wu Haogu is not interested at this moment, and the military situation is urgent in front of him!

"What's the news?" Wu Haogu asked, "Has Aguda appeared?"

"Report to the Head of State," Pan Ye, deputy general officer of the Dongliao Military Opportunities Regiment who stayed in Dading Prefecture, reported immediately, "No discovery has been made at the moment."

"The direction of the road to Beijing?" Wu Haogu asked, "Did Wanyan Zonghan have any actions?"

"Nothing was done." Pan Ye said, "The soldiers and horses of the Jin Dynasty Shangjing Road were ordered a few months ago, but there was no movement."

"Wanyan Zonghan is a tiger general, so he must not be underestimated." Wu Hao Ancient Road.

Wanyan Zonghan is a tiger general?

The officials of Dongliao present and the military opportunities of Zhou were both stunned. Wanyan Zonghan was obviously a cat, but why did he turn into a tiger?

"Have Wang Yan's troops arrived at Linhuangbao?" Wu Haogu asked again.

Wang Yan commanded the Linhuang Legion, which was formed by the First Cavalry Division, the First Infantry Division and the Second Infantry Division of the Republican Army, and was the main force used to fight against Aguda.

“Arrived.”

Wu Haogu nodded, took an envelope from Su Qi beside him, and handed it to Pan Ye without saying anything.

Pan Ye took the envelope, put it away immediately, and stepped aside.

Inside the envelope is the order to go to war with the Jin Kingdom signed by Wu Haogu and Chen Jian, the military commander of the Ministry of War Zhang Zhifeng!

Just the day before Wu Haogu left Tianjin, the Senate held a closed-door meeting and passed a secret resolution to go to war with the Jin Kingdom. Of course, it was a last resort. As a country governed by military citizens and industrial and commercial citizens, the Great Zhou Republic has had two sources of expansion since its birth. One is the desire for land by military citizens; the other is the greed for wealth by industrial and commercial citizens.

The former forces the state to launch wars on the mainland regularly to seize land and grant "Yu Zi" (son other than the eldest son) of the military citizen family. The latter pushes the state to expand overseas to seize the origin of gold, silver, spices, furs and key trade transfer stations.

In the eight years since the first year of the Republic, the Republic's expansion target was mainly overseas. It established multiple colonies in the South Ocean under the situation of a franchise trade chamber, and obtained leased land in Japan. It also established multiple colonial strongholds in the "ownerless" North Sea (the Sea of ​​Okhotsk in later generations) and along the Whale Sea to obtain cheap fur, Dongzhu and the savage Jurchen slave soldiers.

On the mainland, the expansion of the Republic seemed very restrained. He did not attack the wealthy Song Dynasty, but only annexed the Goryeo Kingdom, while supporting the battle between the Dongliao and the Jurchen people.

The reason for this is that most of the second generation of military citizens have not grown up yet, so they have not yet developed a basic need for the manor. This is also a basic need!

But this urgent need for six wallets doesn’t work, it’s necessary to solve the problem with iron and blood!

And now it has been eight years of republic!

If we start from the fourth year of Daguan, Wuhao Gu's separatist land of Yan, nearly 13 years have passed!

The knights and soldiers in their twenties were now in their 4th year. The Song people got married early, and most of the men who had reached the 4th year had even grandchildren. "Yu Zi" also became adults and began to have a need for the manor.

In the face of huge pressure on urgent needs, the society of the Great Zhou Republic began to become increasingly warlike.

In this case, the Senate of the Republic did not need Wu Haogu to supervise it, so he passed the secret resolution to start a war against the Jin Kingdom, of course, a despicable and shameless war! It was not only for the suddenness of the war, but also because, as a vassal of the Song Dynasty, once the Jin Kingdom officially declared war on the Jin Kingdom, it would theoretically lead the Song Dynasty into the war.

With the resolution of the Senate of the Republic, Wu Haogu, the head of state, could issue an order to start a war. When the order to start a war reached the Linhuang Legion, Wang Yan could immediately lead his three divisions into the war zone north of the Huanghe River.

These are three divisions with extremely high combat readiness levels, including one cavalry division and two infantry divisions.

The cavalry division's strength increased by 3,000 people compared with the first year of the Republic, reaching 13,000 people. The reason for the increase in force was that the six teams of the command battalion of the Cavalry Division, including the guards, baggage, command, command, artillery, etc. were expanded into five battalions (including command and command), baggage battalion, guard battalion, artillery battalion, and scout battalion. This formed a special organization of the 10th battalion of the First Division. The artillery configured by the Cavalry Division also increased from the original 6 gates (first team) to the current 24 gates (4 teams), and the firepower was greatly enhanced.

In addition, the strength of the two infantry divisions increased compared with the first year of the Republic. Because of the brigade artillery teams, the strength of each division increased by 320 people, reaching more than 13,500 people. The firepower was also greatly enhanced, and the artillery team increased from the original 4 to 6, with as many as 36 cannons.
