Wanyan Zongwang knew that there was no way to take revenge. Let alone revenge, it would be difficult to stay here any longer. -- They had lost their troops and had no military rations. If they continued to stay, they would all starve to death without Liangshan's attack.
"The Han people actually have such armored cavalry. I must tell my father immediately! Since there is one here, there may be one in Liaodong, so we need to be careful when the time comes!" Wanyan Zongwang said secretly.
At this moment, he was sad in his heart, but he didn't know that Yelu Dashi was even more sad. After several battles, the remaining 200,000 troops of the Liao Kingdom were completely finished. Half of them died on the battlefield, and the other half became prisoners of Liangshan.
The country lost most of its territory, and it was extremely difficult to regain the country.
Now there are only some small cities in the western grasslands, but there are not many people in those cities. Not long after the war broke out, most of the population there fled to the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture.
"Can I only become a general under the Jin people from now on?" Yelu Dashi sighed deeply.
Wanyan Zongwang led the remnant army northward, and the rations were getting less and less. Gradually, these Jurchen cavalry could only eat one meal every two days. If no more rations arrived, they might be forced to kill their horses. But in the vast world
On the grassland, if they killed the war horses, they would not know how long it would take to return to Zhongjing with just their feet.
When they passed Guyuan, they encountered Yue Fei's sneak attack again! This time it was Qingqi against Qingqi, and the Jurchens lost again. One reason was that Yue Fei's battlefield control ability was too strong. He first harassed the Jurchens constantly, and the Jurchens were defeated again.
Tired of running for life, later
Later, he took advantage of the terrain at night to launch an attack from two sides, and the Jurchens were unable to resist. Another important reason was that the Jurchens had not had food for many days, and they were all weak. Even though they were tenacious, they could not perform as they should.
Come fighting strength.
Yue Fei pursued all the way until he encountered the Jurchens' supporting army further north, and then he stopped. Then he started to return with his army.

When Yue Fei was fighting in the north and winning many battles, Zhu Wu had also set off from Taiyuan towards the city of Yanjing.
Zhu Wu was also very excited. The meaning of conquering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was completely different from occupying Hedong. Occupying Hedong was still a bandit to the people in the Central Plains. They were attacking the territory of the "imperial court". But conquering the Tenth Prefecture of Yanyun was completely different.
The six states have eliminated the great enemy of the Han people. The people of the Central Plains will definitely be impressed.
Look at each other! Moreover, under the years of development of the Khitan people, the prosperity of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is even greater than that of Hedong. The territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun is also larger than that of Hedong occupied by Liangshan, which is equivalent to the northern part of Hebei today.
, the large territory in northern Shanxi, Beijing, Tianjin, and southern Inner Mongolia is extremely vast.
And at this moment, in the north, except for Hedong and Yanyun, Liaodong, Gaoli and other places are also under the occupation of Liangshan. Except for Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places, almost all of the north belongs to Liangshan. This is already equivalent to the heyday of the Liao Kingdom
During this period, two-thirds of the territory was occupied, and Liangshan was about to take over the status of the Liao Kingdom.
Zhu Wu went all the way north, from Kelan Prefecture to Daizhou, Yunzhou and other places. The climate here was cold, but it was already midsummer and the people here had begun to harvest wheat. He passed dozens of towns and felt that the
The order is not bad, but many people here look at the Liangshan army with horror and worry.
In fact, the people here are mainly Han people, and the Khitans are less than half of the Han people. However, the Han people here have lived under the rule of the Khitans for more than 200 years. Except for a very small number of Han people, the rest of the Han people have little influence on the Central Plains regime.
Yearn for it
heart. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom promoted the same Confucian Neo-Confucianism as the Song Dynasty, which emphasized the word "loyalty". Even though they were Han people, they were instilled with the idea of loyalty to the Liao Emperor from an early age. They did not have the same national identity as the Central Plains.
The people are so tall.
"It seems that these places still need a good education!" Zhu Wu said secretly.
When he came to Yunzhong and Datong, there were grasslands everywhere, and Zhu Wu was very happy. This era is different from that of later generations. In later generations, this place was already considered an inland, and the grasslands almost disappeared. But now, this place is considered a complete frontier zone, with grasslands
It has a huge area, and it is also one of the most important horse breeding areas in the southern part of the Liao Kingdom.
During this period of time, the Liangshan army stationed here has seized more than 30 horse farms here. Each horse farm has at least a thousand horses and as many as tens of thousands of horses. There are more than 100,000 horses in the more than 30 horse farms.
These are pure Khitan horses. Compared with the Mongolian horses in the north, the war horses here are taller.
Zhu Wu entered a horse farm under the leadership of a group of soldiers. He gently stroked a war horse and was filled with joy. There was a shortage of horses in the Central Plains. Even the generals often rode inferior horses, and some generals even rode donkeys as battle horses.
Horse. Any horse in the racecourse in front of you can be worth dozens of taels of silver to the Central Plains. In the Song Dynasty, whether it was
Neither the Forbidden Army nor the Western Army has so many horses. The entire Forbidden Army has at most 20,000 to 30,000 cavalry, and the same is probably true for the Western Army. I don’t know how many cavalry can be built with the 100,000 horses here, not to mention that besides here, Yanyun Sixteen
There were also war horses in other parts of the state, and he got news that Yue Fei had also captured countless war horses in his battle in the north this time.
In the era of cold weapons, cavalry had obvious advantages over infantry. During the Han and Tang Dynasties, an important reason why the Han people were able to conquer vast territories was the construction of cavalry! Later, when the Ming Dynasty rose, Zhu Di led troops to annihilate the Northern Yuan Dynasty.
This can only be achieved with the help of cavalry. Without cavalry, the Han people in the Central Plains would be trapped in the Central Plains and could only defend, without much offensive capability.
"There are horses in Yanyun, and there are horses in Liaodong. From now on, there will be no shortage of horses in Liangshan! It's just that it will take a long time to form a real cavalry!" Zhu Wu said secretly.
He stayed in Datong for a few days and observed the situation here. Datong was completely built for defense, and the city walls here were extremely strong. Moreover, after this became the Xijing of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao people also built many palaces here.
Zhu Wu sent people to seal up these palaces. As for some Liao eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, they allowed them to stay temporarily. As for how to treat these people, we have to wait for news from Goryeo.
"From now on, these palaces will be regarded as the property of the governor and must be well protected!" Zhu Wu thought to himself.
He looked at the Liangshan troops stationed in the distance, and at this moment he couldn't help but admire Wu Dong's clever methods. The entire Liangshan, whether it was Goryeo, Liaodong or Hedong, promoted a kind of thought and education. Hedong is far away from Goryeo, but it has been there for many years.
thoughts
I want to educate all the soldiers to recognize that they are a part of Liangshan, and almost all the troops have Wu Dong's portrait. For such a long time, the army did not have the slightest rebellion against the Military Aircraft Department headed by Wu Dong.
Heart, this is really rare.
After he left Datong, he headed straight towards Yanjing City.
At this moment, there are still countless military camps under Yanjing City, but the number of soldiers inside is only 10,000. When Zhu Wu arrived, these 10,000 soldiers were training hard there.
After Hu Yanting got the news, he hurriedly led his troops and horses to greet them.
"Deputy Commander!" He got off his horse and smiled at Zhu Wu.
"Good boy, you seem to be a little tanned! Your father is still thinking about you these days." Zhu Wu couldn't help laughing when he saw Hu Yanting.
"It's a pity that I have been guarding Yanjing City these days and cannot go to the north to fight. The regiment commander and the others have continued to defeat the enemy in the north. I am really envious." Hu Yanting curled his lips.
Zhu Wu laughed again, and the two chatted and joked for a while. Zhu Wu said: "Isn't there anything happening in Yanjing City these days?"
Hu Yanting shook his head and said: "It's very quiet inside. I don't know what the Liao people are doing these days. They have closed the city gate, and our intelligence officers inside can't come out."
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "I will send people to the city this afternoon, and I want to recruit them!" Please come to watch the first episode without advertisements--
