Although the Liao emperor Yelu Dashi was quite enthusiastic about his internal affairs, he was always tolerant of the outside world. Not only did he take a defensive position against the Jin Dynasty, but he also made good with the Song Dynasty, which seemed quite timid. However, compared with Wanyan Aguda, the Liao emperor who ascended the throne had the same absolute advantage. He was in his prime and was on his side.

In the past few months, although Wanyan Aguda looked as strong and mighty as before, he felt increasingly weak, easily tired, and his eyes became more and more blurred. His grandfather Wu Guna lived fifty-four years old, his father Wei Libo lived fifty-three years old, and his brother Wu Yashu lived fifty-two years old. No matter how powerful a hero is, he must obey the call of the heaven of immortality. Unlike the elderly emperor, the Jurchen nation was at its most prosperous time, after several generations of people

Accumulation, the Wanyan tribe is now full of talents, but there are signs that no one is convinced. After this year, the old emperor is fifty-five years old, so the old emperor is determined to send troops to completely defeat the Liao Kingdom before his soul returns to the heaven of immortality. The Han army's momentum in Suzhou and Kaizhou has become quite grand. The Bohai people in the prefectures and counties southeast of Liaoyang have a corresponding uprising. Xiao Suxian, the left-behind Tokyo, sent envoys to save Cheng, and Wanyan Agu was moved to the idea of ​​going south.

After Xiao Suxian retired, Wanyan Aguda immediately summoned the meeting of Zhujilie to send troops. Because the matter was of great importance, not only did the great boobs and Wuqimai Wanyan, but the prime minister Bojilie Wanyan Sagai, the first boobs and Wanyan Gao, the second boobs and Wanyan Pu family slaves all attended the event. The other important generals of the Wanyan clan, such as Wanyan Zongbing, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang, etc. all rushed to obey the emperor's tent.

Mr. Han Da was sent to test the details of the Liaoyang envoy. Wanyan Aguda was just a habit of being cautious. Mr. Han Da told the leaders of the Jurchens that the pros and cons of going to Liaoyang in all aspects. This is what Wanyan Aguda admires the Han people the most. His information is always much more informed and his words are well organized. But in the end, Mr. Han Da advised Wanyan Aguda not to trust the people of Bohai too much.

"Xiao Suxian is the uncle of the Liao Kingdom. He is rich enough, but he still betrays the Liao Kingdom's independence. He must be an ambitious hero. To be honest, when I just tried the envoy's background, the envoy was repeatedly testing the reality of our dynasty. He saw that the emissary was a Han person, and he had a faint intention of recruiting, but he was sternly rejected by the emissary. I thought that after expelling the power of the Liao Kingdom from Liaodong in the future, the Bohai people would immediately become the enemy of our dynasty, so Your Majesty must beware of them."

Mr. Han Da always has a little bit of care and even a little too much, and this time is no exception. After Mr. Han Da finished speaking, Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled sarcastically and said, "No matter how ambitious Xiao Suxian is, he must have this ability. The Wanyan tribe has accumulated over generations and has produced heroes from generation to generation, so that it has its current prosperity. Bohai natives, Xiao Suxian was the only one who stayed in Tokyo three months ago. Why did he compete with our Great Jin Kingdom for Liaodong?

As soon as Wanyan Wu Qimai said this, the other Bo Jilie laughed loudly. The torches on the emperor's golden tent were a little dazzling. Wanyan Agu squinted his eyes and a smile was also on the corner of his mouth. The Wanyan tribe, from a small tribe in Liaodong, became the Donghai Victory Kingdom that could compete with the Liao Kingdom in just 10 or 20 years, which really gave these nobles of the Wanyan tribe a proud capital. Only a few people, including Wanyan Zongbing, Wanyan Chang, and others, showed a slightly solemn look in their eyes. Under such circumstances, they did not dare to rashly object. So the topic of the Bo Jilie meeting changed from "Do you want to send troops?" to "How to send troops?" At this time, the Jin generals with rich war experience seemed very cautious.

"Sending troops from Huanglong Mansion to Liaoyang is separated by Tongzhou, Xianzhou, Yinzhou and Chenzhou. If you want to ensure that everything is safe, you must first take down these four places. The Liao Kingdom's road to reinforcements will be cut off before the retreat of our country's army can be protected." Prime Minister Wanyansa changed his mind.

"Can't you take a detour to Kaizhou?" Wanyan Gao frowned. Although the Khitan army was huddled in the city and did not dare to challenge the Jin Kingdom, it was not easy for the Jin Kingdom to capture any city that the Khitans guarded heavily, let alone four. "The Han army has been besieging Kaizhou for a long time. Although it has not been captured yet, the Khitan forces in Kaizhou, Hengzhou and Zhengzhou have all escaped far away. The army has no difficulties in passing. It can also let the Han army help us transport the baggage. It is not so easy for reinforcements to go to Beijing to cut off the retreat of the army. Mr. Han Da, do you think so?"

Wanyan Gao has always had a good relationship with Mr. Han Da and trusted his influence on the Han army, so he proposed a plan to directly attack Liaoyang through the areas controlled by the Han army. All the Jurchen nobles looked over. Mr. Han Da coughed gently and nodded, "There is no problem for our army through Kaizhou, Hengzhou and Zhengzhou controlled by the Han army. I am only worried that the Liao Kingdom has 20,000 cavalry stationed in Shenzhou. If they make a desperate bet, they will still pose a great threat to us. Therefore, I also advocated that at least we must conquer Shenzhou and ensure that the Liao Kingdom has no heavy troops on this line, so that we can send our army south to Liaoyang with confidence."

"Hmph, then take Shenzhou and then Liaoyang." Wanyan Pu's slave said in a deep voice.

"What the Pu family slave said is right, you must first fight against Chenzhou." Wanyan Cibushi nodded in agreement. "No matter if the Bohai people want to play tricks, just try to fight against Pingping." "I also agree with Cibushi, you must first fight against Chenzhou!" Wanyan Wuqimai nodded, "But you can send a side army first to detour Kaizhou to Liaoyang to meet the Bohai people who were in charge of the uprising."

Three of the six Bo Jilie agreed to attack Chenzhou first, and Emperor Wanyan Aguda nodded in agreement, and Wanyan Sagai and Wanyan Gao did not object. The generals below had no chance to argue about the decision of Bo Jilie's meeting. Mr. Han Da was even more so. So he decided to command the main force of the Jin army to attack Chenzhou, with Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Chang and other generals. Wanyan Gao led a side army to detour Kaizhou to Liaoyang first, and Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zongbi also led their respective Meng'an to follow the action. Prime Minister Wanyan Sagai raised the baggage, food and grass needed by the army, so that each Meng'an would prepare separately. The entire Jurchen Jin Kingdom would prepare for the formal troops to attack Liao in December.

Outside Kaizhou City, the sound of cannons was roaring, and the Han soldiers shouted, carrying the ladder and rushing towards the city wall. However, a wave of arrows shot down from the city, and before the effective range of bows and arrows had reached, the Han soldiers ran away with their heads in their arms, leaving only a vast white arrow feathers under the city. The Khitan army at the city was not too late to laugh at these people, and hurriedly shrank behind the ruined city walls, avoiding the shells and arrows shot from the city. For two months in the siege, the offensive and defensive sides seemed to have a tacit understanding. The attacking and defense sides consumed more and more shells and arrows every day, and fewer and fewer people died. The retreating Han soldiers all had a look of surviving the disaster. The leaders of the village celebrated their foreheads because they did not lose their soldiers, and some of them explained to Wang Hengzhi with a smile.

Zhao Xingde stood on the cannon and looked at the scene with a expressionless face. Jian Cheng murmured, "This is a ghost battle, so let us do it." Having said that, even if he was willing, Zhao Xingde would not want the Chengying Soldier to die in the siege. "These Han troops are really too slutty."

The southeast corner of Kaizhou City, which was bombarded by the Xia Kingdom artillery, had been hit by countless shells. The wooden city tower and the battle tower were smashed to pieces, and the bricks and stones were all broken. Even the bricks and stones outside the city wall were shaken off by the shells. Large swaths of rammed earth were exposed, and even the rammed earth was smashed into countless pits. Under the attack of the shells and arrows, the Khitan soldiers defending the city were also killed and injured. In the eyes of Chengying Camp, this city seemed to be a city that had been stripped of clothes, but the Han army could not rush to the ground, which was really infuriating.

Wang Hengzhi is a veteran and is very brave, but he cannot stop the Han generals under his command from each retaining their strength. In this situation, the Han army in Kaizhou itself cannot withstand the losses. Now all Han generals will not send veterans out to attack the city, but will use them as personal soldiers and supervisors. Ding Zhuang, who had a hoe a few months ago, quickly grew into soldiers in the siege battles like a playful battle. Even the "simple" and "warlike" Yalu River Jurchen Army learned to retreat outside the enemy's range.

The Han army's momentum was better than that of one day. The Han people, Bohai people, and Jurchen people from nearby counties all formed relationships with these Han army leaders, and several of them had relatives. The Han army's armed forces and food were also improved a lot compared to before. The veterans were almost all wearing armor, and the new recruits had decent weapons. In Liaodong, the Han army's momentum was even greater than that in Guannan, Suzhou, but the fighting will of the Han army was declining.

"These evil spirits!" Du Chujiao muttered, "It's time to teach them some lessons." He took the Qianli Milestone from Jian Cheng's hand and looked towards the north city wall. It was quiet. Since the Han army began to attack the city, it was obvious that chariots and horses attacked the southeast corner. Over time, the Liao army also reduced the defense forces of other city walls, but there were still necessary warnings.

Du Chujiao looked at Qianlijing into the city and immediately saw Yacheng. The Khitans' savings should be here, and he said worriedly: "If the garrison camp explodes and collapses the city walls elsewhere, we may not be able to steal the unethical ghosts of the Han army."

The Xia State Camp lost patience with the Han army's siege, and finally decided to dig an authentic tunnel to the weakest northern city wall in Kaizhou. First, hollow out the foundation of the wall, temporarily support it with wooden stakes, and then use gunpowder to blow the wooden stakes and collapse it. At the same time, the city wall was shaken, causing a hole to collapse in the north city wall. Then the soldiers of Chengying Camp and the garrison camp took the opportunity to rush into the city to occupy the Yacheng. This plan would keep the Han army secret until the last moment, and the booming sound of cannons from sounding from time to time, effectively preventing the defenders in the city from using urns to detect the sound of the tunnel excavation.
