Chapter 49: The decision to restore the state
In Fuzhou City, more than a dozen Han civil officials from the Later Jin Dynasty were walking uneasy, waiting for news from the front line.
Before the sky was bright, the people in Fuzhou City were rumored to have been defeated on the front line, and the Ming army was about to recover Fuzhou City. The so-called three people became tigers, and this news was said to be precise. Many of these civil servants' property and relatives were in Fuzhou. They betrayed the court and became the legitimate leg of the Later Jin army. If they fell into the hands of the Ming army, the consequences would be unimaginable.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the yamen, and everyone looked nervously towards the door.
A civil servant walked in with a man with a hat.
"How is it?" asked more than a dozen Chinese civil servants.
"The news is true. The Jin army was defeated, and the Dajin and the Beile fled in panic!" said the civil servant who came in.
"Then what should we do? Get rid of the east and west and flee north quickly! If we did something sorry for the court and were caught by the officers and soldiers, it would be a serious crime to destroy the nine clans!" The civil servants were panicked.
"Don't panic, everyone. The Ming army troops recovered from Fuzhou were the Fu Liao army of Jinzhou Guards. And this Mr. Chen Ting was the chief clerk of Jinzhou City at the time. He abandoned the secret and turned to Ming. The Fu Liao army not only did not kill him, but instead used him. Now Mr. Chen Ting is the top leader in the internal affairs of Jinzhou." The civil servant who entered the door introduced the man wearing a hat to everyone.
The man took off his hat and showed a thin cheek: "Dear old servants, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"Chen Ting, you kid are still alive!" Six or seven of the ten civil servants in Fuzhou knew Chen Ting.
Fuzhou and Jinzhou are adjacent to each other, and it is not surprising that the main civil officials know each other.
"Everyone, the right camp of the Later Jin Han army abandoned the secret and turned to the light, and had already defected to our Liao army. Therefore, we can defeat the strong with the weak and defeat the Jin army with the weak." Chen Ting said with a smile.
"No wonder, it turned out that Liu Aita surrendered to the court!"
"I heard rumors in the city before that Liu Aita had letters with court officials. It seems that General Liu has always cared about the court."
The civil servants in Fuzhou City suddenly realized.
"General Liu has made the right choice, and now it is your turn. If you are willing to lead the people of Fuzhou City to join our Fu Liao Army, our Fu Liao Army will not blame everyone for the past deeds and will never settle the accounts after the autumn." Chen Ting said temptingly.
"Don't blame me..." A group of civil servants looked at me and I looked at you, and seemed to think what Chen Ting said was quite reliable.
"But I heard that the Restoration Liao army would confiscate the land of the gentry. Everyone here is a person with land. Will it harm our interests?" Some officials raised objections.
"Please rest assured about this. We will give you certain compensation in the future based on the land confiscated, so that you will not suffer any losses. Moreover, if you flee in panic, then these lands will not be the ones we restored to the Liao army? You will not get a penny at that time, right?" Chen Ting said playfully.
Under the verbal offensive of Chen Ting and carrots and sticks, these concerned civil servants looked at each other, saw each other's decision in each other's eyes, and nodded slowly one by one.
"There must be many Li Yongfang's confidants in Fuzhou City, even among you, but the saints say that good birds choose trees to live on, and wise ministers choose masters to serve. Everyone should know how to do it." Chen Ting said again.
"I have a close friend to the officer guarding the city. I can win him over to us, control the city gate, and then eliminate Li Yongfang's subordinates."
"My dozen servants can respond to the call. As long as you say a word, you can go up to the mountain of swords and fall into the sea of fire!"
A group of civil servants expressed their opinions.
When the sky turned white, some of the defeated Jin soldiers fled to the city of Fuzhou, but facing them was the closed city gate.
"Open the city gate quickly. We are people with red flags. If you don't open the door, you'll be done!" Jin soldiers shouted to the city.
"Fuzhou City has been surrendered to the court, please take a detour!" said the civil servant on the city nervously.
"Bastard!" Jia Lae, who barely gathered some of his troops, was so angry that his veins burst out.
If the Ming army hadn't chased after him, they might have attacked Fuzhou immediately.
"Let's go north!" Seeing Fuzhou's rebellion, Jiala'erzhen had to lead more than a hundred remaining soldiers to escape to his own rear north.
"Hu." Chu Yun cavalry chased the Jin soldiers all night on the war horse, and he didn't even know where he was.
The only troops of the guard squadron and a cavalry squadron were still next to him.
The escaped Jin soldiers went crazy, and the chasing Ming army was also crazy. Both sides ignored where they were.
When Chu Yun realized that they had left Fuzhou and arrived at the boundary of Gaizhou.
"Map, map, hurry up and take the map, where are we?" Chu Yun was a little furious when he saw the completely unfamiliar terrain.
If the Jin soldiers recovered, maybe he would have been made into dumplings by the Jin soldiers as they entered the enemy territory.
"Sir, we are chasing each other quickly. Where did we get the map?" Yu Cheng, who was guarding Chu Yun, was also confused.
"Damn!" Chu Yun couldn't help but curse. The battle this time was too chaotic, and the Jin soldiers could not have imagined it, nor did the Ming army.
When Chu Yun and the others didn't know the location, a troops of hundreds of people suddenly rushed over to Gaizhou City in the distance.
"It's the Jin soldiers coming, everyone is ready to fight." Chu Yun led a team of less than a hundred people, and his sweat had soaked in his light armor.
During the whole day, Chu Yun was commanding the battle, and at night he sneaked and chased Jin soldiers. He had not closed his eyes all day and night. If it weren't for the juncture of life and death, Chu Yun believed that he would fall off his horse and sleep for three days and three nights.
In Ningyuan City, hundreds of miles away, Governor Yuan, who once defeated Nurhaci, received a letter from the Fu Liao Army. It is said that this was written by the leader of the Fu Liao Army.
"This hand word..." Yuan Chonghuan looked at the twisted brush calligraphy on the letter and said quietly, "It's so ugly..."
"Mr. Yuan, the Liao army has no reason to return to us. Why did we send letters at this time?" asked a general under Yuan Chonghuan.
"Although his name is Chou, Chu Yun, the Liao army, was ten times bigger than Mao Wenlong's gall in Dongjiang Town. He actually fought against southern Liao with only 3,000 people!" Yuan Chonghuan sighed.
"Three thousand people are fighting southern Liaoning?! Is it crazy to restore the Liao army?" The general was extremely surprised.
"Before the reign of the army, the Liao army sent someone to send this letter to me, asking our Ningyuan army to attack in the direction of Shengjing, and also said what a good time to attack Shengjing." Yuan Chonghuan raised the letter in Yangyang.
"Then do we need to cooperate with them? Shengjing also has the troops of the five Huang Taiji flags."
"It's good to sell him the Liao army alone. I'll send orders to prepare three days of food for each battalion, and push towards Shengjing, waiting for an opportunity to move." Yuan Chonghuan thought for a while and said slowly, "I want to see what the Liao army can make in southern Liaoning."
On the east bank of the slowly flowing Yalu River, Yizhou in Goryeo, this city that had just been slaughtered by Jin soldiers once again welcomed the Goryeo army.
A young man of fifteen or sixteen years old came to the bank of the Yalu River with the general of the Central Army.
"Further west is the territory of the Jin people. When we come here, the Jin soldiers may attack us at any time. Is Your Highness afraid?" asked General Goryeo.
"I'm not afraid! The friends of Hirokashima saved us in danger. This time it's their turn to have difficulties. How can we watch from the wall!" said Li Xi, the prince of Goryeo.
"I am worthy of being our future king! Revenge and gratitude are the way to the king!" Goryeo General said with gratitude.
"And Brother Chu also said that he would help him this time. He would send us the eight generals of Goryeo Gate. General, that's eight gates!" Li Li's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Puff—The Goryeo General who just praised Li Li almost vomited a mouthful of old blood.
