Chapter 16 The Changing Situation
In less than half a day, the unprepared Yanmen Pass was captured by the Miaojiang troops. Subsequently, the Song court had high expectations. The demolition of cities in Hebei, which was used by Emperor Donkey Cart (Zhao Guangyi) of the Song Dynasty (Tao Cart) and the construction of low-lying did not hinder the Miao army's advance. In less than two months, the Miaojiang army, led by Chengqian, swept across Hebei. Before the Song court's reaction, the troops arrived at the Yellow River.
When the Song court began to assemble the surrounding troops in Kaifeng, Chengqian's army had already crossed the Yellow River and rushed straight to Kaifeng.
Emperor Zhao Xi of the Song Dynasty was worthy of the posthumous title of "Zhezong", and was stronger than his brother Huizong and his younger nephew "Qinzong".
In the next few months, I knew that things were not done, so I directly abandoned Kaifeng and Luoyang and led my troops to Chang'an. While strengthening the defense of Tongguan, I called on the troops of the kings from all over the country to gather in Guanzhong.
Due to other situations, such as Shandong and other places that are too far away, Jiangnan and other places that are too busy to take care of themselves must also stand by the city and wait for the imperial army to come to rescue.
At the same time, we called on heroes from all over the world to rise up and resist the rule of Miaojiang.
It was during these few months that the situation in Liao Kingdom changed again.
Yelu Hongji, who should have been in adversity, had a shocking reversal.
Originally, although Yelu Chongyuan had won and lost against each other in several matches with Yelu Hongji, the losses were greater than Yelu Hongji, but because of his many soldiers, the situation of war inevitably gradually moved closer to him.
Logically speaking, as long as Yelu Chongyuan takes advantage of his military strength and removes Yelu Hongji's troops bit by bit, Yelu Hongji also has been trapped in an isolated city due to his untimely response to his rebellion, and his retreat will be cut off and cannot be effectively supplemented.
But unexpectedly, a challenge letter from Yelu Hongji was sent, which made him want to make a contribution to the battle with his military advantage.
But he unexpectedly was killed by a man in the battle formation, and rushed into front of him, and captured alive. His son Yelu Nelugu retreated thanks to the protection of Miaojiang secret guards, but was not beaten to death by the man with the palm of his hand.
After the man caught Yelu Chongyuan, he did not retreat, but instead surrendered to the remaining soldiers and generals in the formation.
Yelu Hongji also responded in time and personally led his troops to the front of the battlefield to surrender. More than 100,000 surrendered in one fell swoop.
Then both sides stopped fighting and returned to the camp.
That night, Yale Hongji feasted the generals to celebrate this victory and officially introduced the man who changed the direction of the entire battle situation to the generals. Only then did everyone know that the man's name was Xiao Feng, and he was also Yelu Hongji's sworn brother, the new king of the South Court.
Compared with the atmosphere in Yelu Hongji, the rebels were bleak, although his son Nelugu tried to stabilize the soldiers and generals of each battalion and reorganize the troops and fight again.
But the situation is hopeless. After all, Nelugu does not have the prestige and ability of his son to control so many soldiers. In addition, Yelu Hongji went on the battlefield and said he would surrender before he came to the battlefield again, saying that he would not blame him. Many tribal soldiers killed Yelu Chongyuan's confidant and turned against each other again.
For a moment, more than 200,000 troops ran away.
Seeing this, Yelu Nelugu knew that the situation was irreversible. Under the protection of the Miaojiang secret guards, he led his troops of about 50,000 troops to escape overnight and hide under the rule of Miaojiang, hoping to make a comeback.
The next day, after Yelu Hongji settled down the surrendered troops, he led his troops to the war, but only received more than 100,000 troops.
Yelu Hongji, who failed to get one of the culprits, immediately decided to lead more than 30,000 elite palace tent troops under Xiao Feng's protection to pursue him, hoping to capture Nelugu alive before he crossed the border of Liao Miao.
Nelugu and his troops suffered heavy losses in the following time due to Yelu Hongji's pursuit. If he had not been for the Miaojiang secret guards' desperate efforts to protect him, he would have been almost captured several times.
Both sides chased each other. In less than a month, after more than ten battles, Yelu Hongji lost nearly 10,000 palace tent troops, but he was the orthodox emperor of the Liao Kingdom. Wherever he went, he had supplies. After a period of replenishment, the troops increased by 10,000 more.
Yelu Nelugu was not so lucky. Not only did he escape for a long time, he was trapped in his troops, but his strength was reduced to more than 10,000, and everyone was injured and his morale was sluggish. The secret guards around him were also completely lost because they had to focus on protecting him.
Finally, Yelu Hongji intercepted Nelugu's remaining soldiers ten miles from the border of Liaomiao, and another fierce battle occurred on both sides here. When Yelu Hongji thought he could capture Nelugu alive, he did not expect the Miao Xinjiang troops who came to pick him up arrived and joined the battlefield.
Originally, Yelu Hongji did not take the more than 20,000 Miao troops who came here seriously, and only sent 10,000 palace tent troops to stop them. After he completely wiped out the remnants of Nelugu, he would join him and eat up the 20,000 Miao troops who broke into the enemy territory.
But what Yelu Hongji never expected was that the front-line war sent by Yelu Chongyuan before rebelled was real. The 10,000 elite Liao tent troops sent by the Liao Dynasty were penetrated by the Miao army in less than half an hour and quickly joined the remnants of Nelugu.
Then he easily broke through the defense line organized by Yelu Hongji and returned to Miaojiang.
At this point, Yale Hongji finally realized that the Miao army he had to face and even the entire Miaojiang dynasty were completely different from the previous enemies.
So at Xiao Feng's suggestion, while rectifying the surrendered troops, he sent people to the Song Dynasty to discuss the formation of a coalition forces and jointly attack Miaojiang.
Emperor Zhao Xi of the Song court also followed the trend and sent envoys to the Liao Kingdom to discuss the matter of fighting against the Miao army.
-----I am the dividing line ------
While the Song and Liao countries were discussing coalition affairs, the Liao Kingdom even sent the South Court king Xiao Feng to the Song Dynasty to discuss the subsequent friendship.
The Central Plains martial arts world also held a martial arts conference due to this drastic state affairs. Shaolin took the lead and called on major martial arts sects to discuss the anti-Miao matters.
All this information was placed on the table in the large tent of Chengqian Central Army who had conquered Luoyang.
Cheng Qian knelt in front of him, picked up the information in front of him one by one, and said, "Well, Song and Liao reached an agreement to attack our Miaojiang in three months. After defeating our Miaojiang, both sides will maintain the original border. I am afraid that they will eventually become obsessed with it. Now that the Qianlong has come out, no one can stop my hegemony anymore. Time is in me, and the more time I give me, the smaller your chances of victory will be."
"Does Shaolin have no idea what is happening in the current situation when hosting the martial arts conference? Well, let me go in person, so that this drama directed by me should end with me, and this jaw-dropping ending is just the end of this era."
"According to Deng Baichuan's report, the Hebei areas have been sorted out, and the army will be increased by 200,000 in the next three months. And our army has now attacked the Shandong territory to the east, and can be conquered within two months. To the south, it has attacked the Jiangnan territory. Under my years of infiltration, it can be conquered within one month. Then, we will conquer the Bashu territory along the river, and then two groups will attack together, and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. After that, Liao, Dali, Xixia, and Tubo, when this split that lasted for two hundred years ends, you will face the great unified country that you fear the most."
Chengqian stood up and said to the leader of the secret guard who was kneeling in front of him: "The secret guard is sent to order the army to repair it on site. In addition, he sent the emperor's order to bring my personal army to the leader of the secret guard and the leader of the secret guard and I went to Shaolin Temple with me for a while. This martial arts event will be held."
"Abide by the order"
