Jiao Ting said: "This is the first time that someone can break out of the encirclement of our Yanyun Army. I think that these Mongolian cavalry are on par with our Yanyun Army as a whole! It's hard to believe that this can happen.
There is a strong army that can stand up to us!"
Yang Peng said: "Mongolians are brave by nature. In addition, they have lived on horseback for nomadic plunder all their lives. They are naturally very brave and cannot be compared with ordinary armies!"
Yang Jing curled his lips, raised the bloody ax in his hand, and said proudly: "No matter how powerful they are, they can't break through the defense line of our Mo Dao Army! If the number of people is equal, my Mo Dao Army can kill them all.
Don't leave any armor behind!" Everyone smiled and nodded, feeling that what Yang Jing said made sense. Yang Peng said: "Mo Dao Army is a branch that can restrain cavalry. There is nothing to be proud of if it can defeat Mongolian cavalry!" Yang Jing was very unconvinced and said
The deputy wanted to prove what Mo Daojun looked like.
Jiao Ting frowned and said: "The Mongolian cavalry are so powerful, it's hard to imagine how the Khitans conquered them?"
Yang Peng said: "It was not the Khitans who conquered them, but the Mongols who destroyed themselves. It can also be said to be God's will." He smiled and said, "Who would have thought that the Mongol Khan would die suddenly! And the Mongol Khan died suddenly!
After the sudden death, the Mongols actually fought among themselves for the position of the Great Khan! Therefore, the Khitans conquered Mongolia without much effort! Now the Mongols are no longer a threat to the Khitans, but have become a threat to them.
The sharpest scimitar!" The generals frowned and nodded. Yang Peng glanced at the generals and said: "Instruct all the troops to retreat!" The generals clasped their fists and agreed, and they all rode off their horses...
Lakshen led 70,000 Mongolian cavalry to retreat, and ran into the army led by Xiao Tiehegan halfway. Seeing that Xiao Tiehegan was late, Lakshen was very angry, and immediately ran to Xiao Tiehegan and asked loudly:
"Why did you come just now? If you had come two hours earlier, you could have cooperated inside and outside to defeat the Yanyun Army!" Lakshen only mentioned defeating the Yanyun Army, not annihilating the Yanyun Army, because after the battle just now, he
I found that the Yanyun Army was indeed well-deserved, and its combat power was unprecedented. I felt that even if Xiao Fuheqian arrived in time, the most he could do was to repel the Yanyun Army. It was impossible to completely annihilate the Yanyun Army.
!
Xiao Tiehegan was very angry when he saw Lakshen pointing at his nose and questioning him, and said to himself: "You are just a surrendered Mongolian slave, but you are so arrogant in front of me! You really don't know how to live or die!" At this thought, he immediately became cold.
Leng Di said: "The army cannot march as fast as you want! We arrived at this time, which is already very fast!"
Lakshen said angrily: "You've been delayed for more than a day and you're still calling for it to be faster!"
Xiao Tiehegan pointed at Lakshen's nose and cursed: "Lakshen, who do you think you are? You are just a surrendered Mongolian slave. How dare you drink in front of me! You have to understand your identity!"
Lakshen felt his heart was stabbed hard, and he grabbed the handle of the knife and wanted to make a move. But he calmed down immediately. Xiao Tiehegan saw that Lakshen's face was full of anger, and he was holding the handle of the knife, but he never pulled out the knife.
Come out. Knowing that he didn't dare, he smiled proudly and said: "Understand it, you Mongolians are slaves, and we Khitan people are the masters! Those who are slaves should act like slaves!"
Lakshen had made up his mind and would not give up until he killed Lahegan. He released the handle of the knife with his palm and said with a cold expression: "You are my enemy for insulting me and my people like this!"
Xiao Tieheqian sneered mockingly and said, "Really? Then why don't you do it?"
Lakshen snorted and said: "You are afraid of the enemy and have delayed the military aircraft. I will report the truth to the King Protector and the Queen Mother. You just wait for the sanctions of military law!" After saying this, he turned his horse's head and
He returned to his army and led the army directly to Tanzhou.
Xiao Tieheqian was worried that he would be in big trouble if Lakshen reported it in front of King Protector first, so he carefully gave instructions to a close subordinate and ordered him to rush back to Tanzhou to report to Yeqihu City.
…
Yang Peng led the army back to Yanjing, leaving only some cavalry in Shunzhou to monitor the actions of the Khitan army. Under the night, the entire Yanjing city was still a lively and lively scene. In the past, the taverns and teahouses had long been closed, but
Tonight, all the taverns and teahouses were overcrowded, and the noise was soaring. People gathered in the taverns and teahouses to drink and have a carnival! The sound of gongs and drums came from the streets, and there were dragon dancers, lion dancers, and jugglers, and no one was quiet.
!
But Yang Peng, King of Yan, stood alone in front of the map in the study, looking at the map and thinking about the next strategy. Although Yan Yun's army had won consecutive victories, the threat from Yan Jing could be said to be temporarily lifted, but Yan Yun's army
The overall situation has not improved much. First of all, it is the problem of the Khitans. Although the Khitans have suffered a lot of losses after losing several games in a row, a large number of Khitan reinforcements have arrived, and their strength is still far superior to their own. What they are most afraid of now is that they change their ways.
, while shrinking to defend Tanzhou, at the same time, he will transfer the main force to the direction of Xijing Road to counterattack. In that case, Cao Jun may not be able to resist, and the soldiers and horses on Yanjing's side may not be able to support it. It is best if the emissary's actions can
Success; you don’t have to worry too much over the Hexi Corridor. With Yang Yanzhao guarding there, it shouldn’t be a big problem; as for the Japanese, you don’t have to worry about their threat now, but they have restrained an army of more than 200,000, which is difficult to mobilize for the time being.
to other more important battlefields; finally, there is the imperial court in the south. If the imperial court insists on sending troops to the Northern Expedition, it is almost ready now. The main forces of the fifth and sixth legions should have been transferred back to the northern line of the Yangtze River, and
The military forces in Shanxi and other places should have already assembled. I hope there won't be any problems there.
Yang Peng paced back and forth, frowning, feeling that there were enemies on all sides now, and as long as a major mistake was made in any direction, everything would be lost. He walked to the window and looked out at the night outside.
Hearing the noise coming from far away, I couldn't help but feel an unreal feeling in my heart, as if I was in a big dream.
…
When Lakshen saw Yeqi Hucheng, he was about to report Xiao Tiehegan's crimes. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, he was reprimanded by Yeqi Hucheng: "I set the marching speed. Who told you to be greedy for credit?"
The rash one? Let Yang Peng discover our plan, and the result is a failure!"
Lakshen was stunned and frowned: "What did the king say? How did it become my fault?" He pointed at Xiao Tiehegan who was standing next to him with a sneer, and said: "Obviously it was Xiao Tiehegan who was afraid of the enemy.
Not moving forward is what caused Yan Yun's army to run away, and it almost put our army into a desperate situation!"
Xiao Tieheqian said: "If you hadn't been greedy for power and rushed forward, how could you have fallen into the siege of Yanyun's army? But now you put the responsibility on me! Huh, there is no good thing in the Mongols!" Lakshen was furious and pulled out the gun.
He took out his machete, pointed at Xiao Tiehe and shouted: "I'll kill you, you despicable villain!"
"That's enough!" Ye Qi Hucheng shouted.
Lakshen's heart trembled, and then he realized that he had gone too far in a moment of anger. He quickly sheathed his sword, knelt down on one knee towards Yeqi Hucheng, and apologized: "I did something I shouldn't have done in a moment of anger.
Please punish me, Your Majesty!" Ye Qian Hucheng snorted and said angrily: "Although you are a general personally appointed by the Queen Mother, you are still serving under me. With my authority, I can kill you in battle!"
After listening to Ye Qi Hucheng's words, Lak Shen felt as if everything was his own fault. He was very angry. He raised his head and said angrily: "It is clearly Xiao Tiehe who delayed the military plane. The king did not hold him responsible, but blindly embarrassed the general. Is this
What’s the point?”
Ye Qian Hucheng was furious. He slapped the desk with a loud bang and shouted: "How dare you! How dare you talk to this king like this! Come on, drag him down and chop him down!" even though there were two soldiers there.
Come in and drag Lakshen's arms. Lakshen was furious, punched and kicked the two soldiers to the ground, pulled out his machete with a clang, stared at Yeli Hucheng and shouted: "If you want to kill me,
It’s not that easy!”
Ye Qi Hu Cheng was extremely angry, pointed at Lak Shen and shouted: "Kill him, kill him for me!" The generals pulled out their scimitars and surrounded Lak Shen. Lak Shen looked at Ye Qi with no fear.
Yeqihu City said coldly: "Kill me, hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops will definitely rebel! Has Yeqihu City thought about the consequences?" Yeqihu City and others were shocked. Han Chang walked to Yeqihu City
The man next to him whispered: "Your Majesty, one Lakshen doesn't matter, but the stability of hundreds of thousands of Mongolian troops and more than two million Mongolian and Semu people is a big problem! If it really leads to a catastrophe, it will be very bad.
!”
Seeing the hesitation of Yeqi Hucheng and the generals, Lakshen snorted coldly, turned around and walked outside. The generals did not dare to take action without receiving orders from Yeqi Hucheng, and watched him walk out.
The big tent. Yeqihu City was extremely angry, but he did not dare to explode. He was also really afraid that killing a Lakshen would cause drastic changes among the Mongols. In that case, he Yeqihu City would never redeem himself!
Han Chang said worriedly: "The Mongols do not think they have been defeated by us. They are not convinced by us, and they are afraid that big problems will occur sooner or later!" The reason why Han Chang said this was because the Mongols were defeated in the Tiger City of Yeli.
It can almost be said that it has nothing to do with force. At that time, Yeqi Hucheng led his army to break into the camp of the tribe of the Mongol prince. At that time, the Mongol prince was fighting fiercely with his own uncle on the front line with the armies of the tribes that supported him. He did not expect that the Khitan
At this time, the human army would break into its own camp. So Yeqihu City captured all the nobles of the Mongolian princes and relatives of the soldiers almost without any blood.
Immediately, Yeqi Hucheng threatened them. Although the Mongolian princes did not want to be threatened by Yeqi Hucheng, they found that they could not control their nobles and soldiers. When they saw their relatives being captured, they just wanted to save their loved ones' lives. Everything else was at stake.
Ignore it.
Seeing that the situation was over, the Mongol prince had no choice but to surrender to the Khitans. Then Yelihu City used the Mongolian army of the Mongol prince as the vanguard to attack another Mongol army. The other Mongol army was far from being the opponent of the Mongol prince, and in addition
With the help of the Khitan army, everything collapsed in an instant. Except for a few who fled deep into the north, most of the Mongolians became prisoners of the Khitan. The Khitan people won a great victory, carrying countless trophies and escorting countless Mongolians.
The Hesemu people returned to the Liao Kingdom.
The Khitan people were lucky enough to destroy Mongolia, and the military and state were overjoyed! Then the king implemented a migration policy, moving the Mongols into the interior, and at the same time moving people from other ethnic groups to the Mongolian grasslands; at the same time, the king would
The Mongolian army was disrupted and reorganized and incorporated into the battle order of the Khitan army. However, the Mongols were actually very upset about their defeat at the hands of the Khitan people. The Mongolians all thought that if the Khitan people had not been so despicable, they would have captured all their family members first.
If so, it would be impossible for them to be their opponents; the Mongols were unconvinced, but the Khitans considered themselves conquerors, just like Xiao Tiehegan, who always showed the superiority of conquerors from time to time, which made the Mongols
People are very disgusted. The contradiction between the Mongols and the Khitan people is getting deeper and deeper. What happened in the tent in Yeqihu City today is just the tip of the iceberg of the contradiction between the two sides.
Yeqi Hucheng felt that if the Mongols continued to control the military power, there would be big problems sooner or later. He couldn't help but want to disarm the Mongolian army. He secretly thought: after this battle is over, he must discuss this matter with the empress.
matter!
Thinking of the king, he remembered another thing, so he turned around and asked the captain of the personal soldiers: "Has the queen received a reply?" The captain of the personal soldiers bowed and said: "Reply to the king, the queen has not replied to the letter yet." Not long ago, yes.
Yehucheng sent someone to Zhongjing to send a letter. In the letter, Yeqihucheng described in detail the current situation between the enemy and ourselves. He believed that it would still be possible to defend Tanzhou with a small number of troops and mobilize the main force to attack Xijing Road.
There is a great chance of victory, so I ask the king to send further reinforcements.
At the same time, the king who was far away in Zhongjing was discussing matters with Zhang Chang and Ben Jinglun in the study. Zhang Chang was the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and was now highly relied upon by the king, while Ben Jinglun was one of the Khitan aristocrats besides the royal family.
He is a leader-level figure outside the country and plays a decisive role in the Liao Kingdom and the Khitan people.
Wang Jun was pacing back and forth in the study, with Zhang Chang and Pang Jinglun standing on both sides, both of them silent. Wang Jun stopped and frowned and said, "The letter from Ye Qi Hucheng made me very embarrassed!" After reading it, he frowned and said.
The two glanced at each other and asked, "What do you think?"
Zhang Chang glanced at Ban Jinglun, bowed and said, "I believe you have some high opinions!"
Ban Jinglun said to Wang Jun: "My Lady, to be honest, I am completely discouraged and have no interest in the war with Yanyun! Our army of 600,000 people fought against the Yanyun army of more than 200,000 people. After several battles,
We only ended up with more than half of the losses, even Feng Shengzhou and other places were lost! The Yanyun Army is invincible, we cannot be enemies with them, there is no benefit in being enemies with them!" Wang Jun frowned, unable to help himself.
Di murmured: "If it weren't for the fact that Yeqi Hucheng took the lead in the battle, I would not have wanted to go to war with Yanyun's army! Our relationship with Yanyun was originally very good!"
Zhang Chang observed what was happening and hurriedly bowed: "Speaking of which, I am really ashamed. I don't know what is going on, but I actually agreed with Ye Qian Hucheng and tried to take charge of the battle!" Then he knelt down and apologized: "I ask you to rule over me.
crime!"
Wang Jun waved his hand and said: "That's it! This is none of your business. If it weren't for the fact that Yeqi Hucheng took the lead in the battle, I wouldn't agree to anything!" Zhang Chang's heart was relieved. He kowtowed and thanked him, and stood up.
Standing up, he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I think it's not too late to call off the war with Yan Yun! Since Ye Qi Hucheng has done something wrong, we can't let him make mistakes again and again to endanger the security of the Liao Kingdom."
!" In fact, the plan for the Southern Expedition would not have been possible if Wang Jun, the empress dowager who held the real power, had not nodded. However, as a minister, one cannot openly accuse the monarch of his faults. According to Confucian concepts, this is treason.
For your behavior, you have to put the blame on others. This is the 'way of being a minister'.
After listening to Wang Jun's words, Ban Jinglun nodded and said: "Zhang Chang's words make sense!"
Wang Jun glanced at the two men and asked: "Do you all think that we should call off the war?" The two men nodded, and Fang Jinglun said worriedly: "Now we have lost about 400,000 troops. If we continue to fight, what will happen?
I don’t know how many soldiers and horses we will lose! Since we started the war with Yanyun, we have almost never won a battle. From the Central Plains to Shanxi, from Shanxi to Xijing Road, our troops are far more than Yanyun’s army in every battle, but every time
But all the battles were defeated! It was like this before, and it is no exception now! The Yanyun Army is a tiger, a wolf, an invincible warrior in the world. It is better not to provoke them if there is no need. They were originally going to
Those who live in peace with us all blame Ye Qi Hucheng for being so delusional that he wanted to raise an army to destroy Yan Yun!"
Zhang Chang echoed: "What Mr. Xiao Pangjing said is absolutely true!" Then he said mysteriously: "Madam, now the Japanese navy has suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses, and the army has 300,000 people trapped in Huaibei. The Japanese attention
Now they are all on these 300,000 horses and Yan Yun. If we free up our hands, we can launch an army to counterattack Goryeo..."
Wang Jun's eyes lit up, and then he hesitated. She was still a little undecided. Zhang Chang and Xiao Tan Jinglun's suggestions were naturally reasonable, but the current situation did not mean that it was completely impossible to defeat Yan Yun. Although Yan Yun
We have won several big victories, but Yanyun's situation is not good. It can be said that it is surrounded on all sides. It is not very optimistic in any direction. As long as there is a problem in any direction, Yanyun will fall into a huge crisis. Now it can be said that
It is a great opportunity to completely defeat Yanyun. If we act according to Yeqian Hucheng's suggestions, we may be able to break the current deadlock, regain the Xijing Road, and then invade Shanxi in one fell swoop. If we can do this, the situation will be very beneficial to our own side, and to Yanyun
It's very unfavorable. But this is a very uncertain thing. How can Yanyun Tiger Wolf fail easily? We have already lost 400,000 troops. If we lose another 400,000 troops, it will be very bad!
Wang Jun only felt in a dilemma and couldn't make up his mind. Zhang Chang and Pian Jinglun saw Wang Jun's expression and knew that she was in a dilemma, but they didn't try to persuade her anymore.
, you'd better not talk too much, lest something go wrong and you have to walk around without food.
At this moment, a female guard rushed in and reported: "Your Majesty, the envoy from Yanyun who was here before suddenly came outside the palace gate and wanted to see your Majesty!"
When several people heard this, they were all surprised and looked at each other involuntarily. Wang Jun frowned and murmured: "Envoy Yanyun suddenly arrived, what is his intention?" Then he said to the female guard: "Take him
Take it to the main hall and wait, I'll be there soon." The female guard responded and ran down.
…
The sight turned to the Liao Guesthouse. The Japanese prince Yongren, who was a hostage, was sitting in the study reading a book, with a calm expression, not at all like a hostage.
A confidant suddenly rushed in from outside and said urgently: "Your Highness, it's not good, the Khitan people have been defeated, and our army has also been defeated!" Yongren was taken aback and blurted out: "This
Impossible, no one can defeat our army!" The confidant said: "This is absolutely true, it is the news sent by the Khitan officials we bribed."
Yongren was surprised and confused. He frowned and shook his head and said, "I still don't believe it! Our Yamato nation's army is invincible. This must be false news!" After hearing Yongren's words, his close confidants couldn't help but feel that the prince said
The news he heard before must be false. He nodded and asked: "Prince, what should we do?"
Yongren thought for a while and ordered: "Send someone immediately to contact our spies here. They should have the latest news!" The confidant responded and ran down. Yongren looked at the scenery outside the window and frowned.
He murmured: "Will our Japanese army be defeated? This is impossible, absolutely impossible!"
However, not long after, the confidant who was sent to inquire about the situation came back with a pale face and said in a panic: "Your Highness, we, we have really failed!..." Yongren was startled and asked urgently: "
Did you ask our spies?"
The confidant nodded and said anxiously: "The navy, the navy was ambushed by Yan Yun's army and suffered heavy losses. It has already moved into Goryeo!..." Let me explain here, the Japanese are very interesting, they never retreat in defeat.
Words like "Fleeing for one's life after being defeated" are never called retreat, but "turning in". Therefore, although the Japanese surrendered after being beaten in World War II, there were no such words as "defeated, retreated, defeated" in their own textbooks, and "completely annihilated".
Yes, even if most of the people are captured, it is called jade breaking, and defeating and escaping is called turning in.
Yongren heard that the navy army he had worked so hard to train and hide was actually ambushed and defeated. He couldn't accept it and frowned: "How is it possible? This is absolutely impossible!"
The confidant said: "This is a message forwarded from Korea, it is absolutely reliable!"
Yongren suddenly shouted hysterically: "No! This is definitely not true!" The confidant was shocked and did not dare to say anything anymore. Yongren just kept saying in his heart, "That is fake, that is fake."
!...' Then he believed that it was not true, snorted coldly, and said with disdain: "These false news must have been spread by Yan Yunjun to disrupt the morale of our army!" The confidant quickly cheered and said: "
Yes! These news must be false news spread by the cowardly Yanyun people!" Yongren said proudly: "Our Japanese army is invincible. At this moment, our army must have completely wiped out the Yanyun navy, and
We have completely occupied Hebei, Shandong and Lianghuai!"
What happened after all? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
