Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Man
You will look at me, and I will look at you. No one remembers what they have done recently that will make the general angry, but looking at the general's face, it is obvious that he is angry, so everyone secretly speculates, is someone doing it but not saying it?
This is just too much.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Tang Ning opened his mouth and said, "You eat yours, and I will say mine." I called you here today, there is only one thing, the right compartment is ready, and tomorrow we will go to Zhuozhou immediately. ”
"What?" Chong Jianzhong subconsciously said: "But the people sent by the imperial court to Shunzhou have not yet arrived, if we leave tomorrow, what if the original 30,000 Liao troops in Shunzhou take the opportunity to make trouble?" ”
"Then kill it." Tang Ning said with a cold face: "Whoever dares to cause trouble, just kill it, you don't have to ask." ”
...... "Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and I can't help but shudder."
What the hell is going on, the mood of the general is not bad, he has never issued such an order before, so looking at it, the mood of the general is already extremely bad.
Fang La still made a suggestion: "But in this case, it means that the alliance between us and the Liao State has been ......."
"It doesn't matter." Tang Ning replied: "The condition for us to help him fight against the Jin State is that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the Sixteen Prefectures, and if they refuse to take it out, let them die with the Jurchens."
Yelu Yanxi is very shrewd in his own survival, and he will make a wise choice.
The same goes for the right chamber, if after you arrive in Zhuozhou, the Liao army guards in Zhuozhou are unwilling to let you enter the city to take over the city defense, then you will attack the city directly. ”
"......" Chong Jianzhong looked at Tang Ning carefully, he didn't think it was like Tang Ning could say it, but in his observation, Tang Ning didn't look crazy, it seems that these words are indeed his heartfelt words.
So he couldn't help but start thinking, since the arrival of the Red Feather Knight from Kaifeng Mansion the day before yesterday, Tang Ning has become like this today, does this mean that this order is not from Tang Ning, but from the official family?
But if it is an official order, then it should not be done. Chong Jianzhong did not believe that the wise official would give such an order.
The construction of the plant is incomprehensible, and so are the rest of the soldiers. But the tradition of the Zhenguo Army is to obey orders. Therefore, even if Chong Jianzhong was full of question marks, he immediately ordered the soldiers in the right compartment to prepare and set off for Zhuozhou tomorrow.
Zhao Tong is aware of this matter. Two days earlier, Tang Ning had asked him when the officials sent by the imperial court to Shunzhou would arrive.
But in fact, things are not that simple, it does not mean that people are finished when they arrive.
Along with the official who was appointed as the governor of Shunzhou, there was also from Hebei Dongdong
40,000 soldiers on the road. They came to take over the city defense and prevent the original garrison of Liao from causing trouble.
Otherwise, just send one or more officials, what if they arrive in this place and are clicked by someone? Especially when Shunzhou was still forced to surrender when the guard was killed by Tang Ning's tricks, he must be very dissatisfied in his heart, just waiting for the opportunity to do something.
Previously, Zhao Yan said that he would be able to arrive in two days, but it was only an approximate time. It is also inevitable that the army will encounter some obstacles on the way.
But I didn't expect Tang Ning to be so anxious, it seems that the letter from Kaifeng Mansion made his mood change.
Considering the deterioration of his imperial brother's health, Zhao Tong could guess that perhaps the imperial brother wrote a letter to urge Tang Ning. This made Tang Ning unscrupulous, and he also wanted to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun as soon as possible.
In this regard, Zhao Tong was very emotional. Tang Ning's loyalty to the imperial brother is simply not a little sandy. Thinking of the imperial brother's attitude towards Tang Ning, Zhao Yan sighed even more.
It can only be said that these two people are a natural match, one is good at the emperor, the other is gracious, is there a more suitable combination of monarchs and ministers than this?
Thinking of this, Zhao Yan, who originally wanted to persuade Tang Ning, also swallowed his words into his stomach.
Tang Ning's loyalty is for the imperial brother, not for himself. It's useless to persuade yourself, so it's better not to persuade and save yourself a waste of words.
When the matter was settled, the generals went to do their own things. Chong Jianzhong took a vote of people to the right compartment to supervise the soldiers to pack up their equipment and weapons, and then went to Zhao Tong to lead the army with weapons and grain and grass.
The entire Zhenguo army camp became busy all of a sudden, although the soldiers of the left chamber were curious about why it had nothing to do with them, but the same situation had happened many times, and after inquiring, they learned that they were going to Zhuozhou, and the soldiers stopped asking.
Early the next morning, Chong Jianzhong led the right carriage to set off on time. The original garrison of Liao on the other side saw that the Song army had left half of it at once, and they began to move.
But they didn't dare to do it immediately, after all, they had only been gone for a long time. Do it now, and people will be able to deal with them immediately when they turn their heads.
So, until the third day, when they were about to start, the governor of Shunzhou of the Song Kingdom came with 30,000 people......
The original garrison of Liao, which had just been preparing to resist, had no choice but to die down and continue to wait for an opportunity. When the Zhenguo army left and they wanted to do something again, the Liao State sent someone to inform them to go to Tianling immediately to support the army.
In the Tianling Mountains, the battle between the Khitans, the Dangxiang people and the Jurchens continued.
It's been almost two or three months since this was done, and no one is willing to admit defeat.
Together, the Liao State and the Western Xia sent nearly 500,000 troops to Tianling. And after Tang Ning left, Wanyan Lou's room spent a month gathering 100,000 troops to go to Tianling to support Wanyan Zongwang.
In the past three months, the Liaoxia coalition army has paid a total of 200,000 troops east of Tianling, and the Jurchens have not received too many benefits, and the 400,000 troops before and after are now only 180,000.
It can be said that both sides have suffered heavy casualties here, and it is time to retreat. But this is a war that gambles on the fortunes of the country, and if that side wins, that side will have the initiative from then on, and in this case, neither side wants to admit defeat easily.
So the war is still going on, and the Song army is taking advantage of this opportunity to vigorously recover Yanyun.
Yelu Yanxi knew about Song Jun's actions, but he was powerless. As early as after the battle of Pingxia City, the Western Xia people were completely reduced to vassals of the Liao State, and they could only help condemn it on the side, and they did not dare to say anything if there was a real war.
The Jurchens are even more happy to see this kind of thing, the more the Song people are here to bring disaster to Yanyun, the more they like to hear it, as long as it does not bring disaster to them, the Song people will bring disaster to whoever they love, this is the current attitude of the Jurchens.
But having said that, the Jurchens still did not dare to slack off on the vigilance of the Song army.
Considering the previous large-scale invasion of the Song army, Wanyan Aguda sent Wanyan Zonghan to lead more than 100,000 slave soldiers to deploy defenses around Dading Mansion in case of contingencies.
To sum up, although the Song army is now in the sixteen states of Yanyun in the Liao State, it still plays a role in the Jurchens that cannot be underestimated.
At least these 100,000 troops were not directly invested in the war between Liao and Jin, otherwise, with the quality of Liao's current soldiers, even the tactics of fighting a sea of people would have no chance of winning.
Yelu Yanxi, as the emperor of the Liao State, was naturally very angry at Song Jun's behavior, and he repeatedly wanted to send envoys to ask Zhao Xu what the Song State meant.
At the beginning, it was obviously the alliance you mentioned, but now it's good, except for going to Dading Mansion to fight one, the rest of the time is racking your brains to get Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures into your own hands.
Even if everyone goes through the difficulties together, destroy the Jin people first, and then you turn your head and take Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, you won't be so angry.
But that man stood up again, Xiao Fengxian was a man who would never disappoint those who were looking forward to the demise of the Liao Kingdom.
He persuaded Yelu Yanxi that it was not appropriate to have a disagreement with the Song State now. After all, the Song people are now strong and powerful, and the current Jin country has exhausted itself to deal with, if the Song country is angry, he runs to join forces with the Jin country and destroys our Khitan, and we won't be able to cry when the time comes.
What Xiao Fengxian said was always like this, which sounded unusually reasonable at first glance, but after calming down and thinking about it carefully, he would find that what he said was all loopholes.
However, many ministers in the DPRK and China were also unwilling to break with the Song State, so the matter dragged on like this, and it has not been resolved so far......
