Chapter 857 Shang Luo

On the top of the snow-capped Changbai Mountain, many people gathered at this time, on the top of the mountain, looking at the clouds and mist, as if in a dream, and Wanyan Zongwang's body was buried in an ice cave on the top of the mountain. In Liaodong, there has always been a legend that if the dead are buried on the holy mountain, the soul can get the best home, because this is the place where the gods bless. Wanyan Zongwang was finally separated from this world, and when he saw the ending of Wanyan Zongwang, he thought of himself almost uncontrollably, if one day, where should he go? Approaching noon, the crowd gradually dispersed, only Wan Yan Moruo stood there lonely and unwilling to leave, Zhao Yougong reached out and patted Yan Moruo's shoulder, but saw Yan Moruo's body shake and slowly fell into his arms.

Yan Moruo is really tired these days, especially the torment in her heart, which almost dragged her down. Perhaps, Wanyan Moruo is not as strong as she seems, she is weak in her bones, holding Wanyan Moruo's fragrant shoulders, and whispered in a low voice, "Everything will pass, let's leave, you don't want to be separated from death and not get rest, this is a good place, his soul will definitely last forever." ”

"Maybe" Looking at the distant sky, it seemed to be within reach, just like this, Wan Yanmo didn't know what his future would be, let alone where the people of Dajin Kingdom would go in the future. Accompanied by Zhao Yougong, the group finally came to the bottom of the mountain, and the next morning, they set off for Huining Mansion. It seems that the matter of Yan Zongwang after the burial was done right, the gate of Huining Mansion was open, and there were many Jurchens kneeling at the door, and those noble relics were prostrate on the ground, looking extremely respectful, of course, they were also in a worried mood. Although Zhao Yougong promised not to kill those who surrendered. It's going to be a good place, but can you not worry? In the world of the Jurchens, there is too much killing, and for the losers, it is often endless plundering and occupation, and the weak eat the strong. It is the iron law of Liaodong, even if Zhao Yougong's words don't count, who can do anything to him?

Walking into Huining Mansion, there is no such style as the royal capital, although Huining Mansion is the capital of the Dajin Kingdom, it is too far from Bianliang City, and from the perspective of urban planning and construction, I am afraid it is not as good as Pyongyang City. As soon as he entered the city, Zhao Yougong issued the order. It was ordered that among the troops stationed in the camp, except for those who were in charge of patrolling the city, no one else was allowed to wander the streets without orders. In addition, the question of how to deal with the Jurchens has also been put on the agenda, although after several wars, but now the Jurchens still have nearly 30,000 soldiers to fight, how to place these Jurchen soldiers and horses, but it is very important. What the hell to do. Zhao Yougong didn't have any good ideas, so he could only gather everyone. Yu Huining Mansion palace deliberations, the generals of the Dingguo army are obviously not very comfortable with these Jurchens, Yelu Dashi was in charge of Xijing in the early years, and conquered foreign races, and he proposed that he have some experience with this. "Your Highness, the last general thinks that half of the Jurchen young and strong should be divided into an army for my use, and in addition, half of the Jurchens in Liaodong will also move to Xijin Mansion and Dading Mansion, so on. In order to ensure the safety of Liaodong, in addition, Liaodong also needs to have a garrison of soldiers and horses. ”

Zhao Yougong carefully considered Yelu Dashi's suggestion, and in general, Yelu Dashi's proposal was a good idea, dividing and ruling the Jurchens would avoid the possibility of the Jurchens gathering to make trouble. However, Zhao Yougong always felt that this arrangement was not very perfect, so Li Bao got up and suggested, "Your Highness, Marshal Yelu's proposal is very good, but the problem of garrisoning troops in Liaodong is not easy to solve, the situation in the Central Plains has deteriorated, and Murong Fu's Liaoyan forces still occupy Zhenhai Mansion, so we can't draw many soldiers and horses." It's better to follow the proposal of Marshal Yelu and think of a way, why don't we let our people and the Jurchens join together and re-form a team of soldiers and horses, as long as this army of soldiers and horses is completed, we can face Liao Yan alone. In this way, it can also save troops, so that our army will not be dragged in Liaodong for a long time, and in addition, there are Jurchens in the army, and the people of Liaodong will not have much resistance. ”

"Well, yes, this idea is very good" Obviously, Zhao Yougong is very satisfied with this method, and Yelu Dashi and others seem to be very supportive of this method. In the end, it was decided to enter Liaodong and split half of the people to stay in Liaodong, merge with the local Liaodong Jurchens, establish a force of about 30,000 people, and divide three battalions, called the Shengshan Battalion, Sanjiang Battalion, and Huanglong Battalion, and build a headquarters in Huanglong Mansion, Hu Cheng was transferred from the navy, served as the commander of the three battalions in Liaodong, and served as the commander of Huanglong Mansion. Hu Cheng has been serving in the navy, although the position is not too high, but the ability is obvious to all, coupled with the relationship between Hu Cheng and Zhao Yougong, he is destined to be more suitable to stay in Liaodong than anyone else. The generals are not dissatisfied, although Hu Cheng has become a real real power figure in Ding****, and his status is only under Niu Gao, Xiao Zhiyun, Han Shizhong and Yelu Dashi, but no one will be dissatisfied because of this. With Hu Cheng's ability and the relationship with His Royal Highness, it is only a matter of time before he reaches this position, and it is not a good errand to sit in Liaodong, there are too many things in all aspects, but it is not something that a simple military person can solve.

Hu Cheng stayed in Liaodong to form a new army, and those Jurchens still need to move, most of them moved to Xijin Mansion and Dading Mansion, for the Liaodong Jurchens, Zhao Yougong is a little uneasy after all, they all say that the Jurchens are not ten thousand, and they are invincible, although they exaggerate a lot, but they have to be guarded against. Of course, Zhao Yougong will not force the Jurchens to relocate, with the introduction of regulations in Xijin Mansion and Dading Mansion, as long as the Jurchen people who go to settle in the Great Song Dynasty can get the corresponding cultivated land, and they will also be assigned to residences, and the government will take care of them accordingly. For the Jurchens, this temptation is huge, after all, having a place to live and arable land means a stable life, the reason why the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, forcibly seizing, is because every year life is not stable, especially in winter, cattle and sheep freeze to death countless times, there is no food and drink, can only rob, this is how the brave and ruthless nature is born. Before the Jurchens let the horses go south, it was not to occupy the flowers and rivers of the Central Plains, and they wanted to live that kind of good life, but now they don't need knives and guns, and the Great Song Dynasty can give it, although many Jurchens will be suspicious of this, but when many people really enjoy this treatment, more and more Jurchens go to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty. By the end of June, about 200,000 Jurchens had left Liaodong, and this trend was out of control, and in the end, even Yan Moruo couldn't bear it. If the people of Liaodong are gone, what will happen to Liaodong?

It's been more than 20 days, and Zhao Yougong's health has also improved a lot, but staying in Huining Mansion, there are many things, and he is destined to have a bad rest. No, Wanyan Moruo blocked Zhao Yougong in the study again, and kept complaining, "Your Highness, you and the slave family, what do you want to do, Liaodong is about to turn the sky upside down these days, and there are more and more people going to the west, and if it goes on like this." Liaodong collapsed. ”

"What are you worried about, don't worry, this king knows it in his heart, and when he has time in the future, he will explain it to you well" Zhao Yougong had already thought about it, and then mobilized the Central Plains people to come to Liaodong in the future, and then introduced crops such as soybeans, sweet potatoes, potatoes, etc., with the hard-working and hard-working style of the Central Plains people who are good at farming. It is estimated that within ten years, the bitterly cold Liaodong will be built into a fertile land and become a suitable place to live. Of course, these words cannot be said now. Because of that, Wan Yan Moruo may not understand, how can she know what potatoes and sweet potatoes are, all she thinks about in her mind now are cattle, sheep and horses, and she doesn't understand anything about farming.

There are still many things in Liaodong, although Wanyan Zongwang died. The Jurchens surrendered, but Murong Fu still occupied Zhenhai Mansion, and there were signs of sending troops towards Goryeo, if it was not resolved, it would eventually become a disaster. Zhao Yougong's initial plan was to let Hu Cheng form a new army first. Yelu Dashi led his troops to garrison Liaoyang Mansion and suppressed Zhenhai Mansion, lest Liaoyan soldiers and horses really break into Goryeo. But the next thing made Zhao Yougong have to change his plan.

After entering June, the situation in the Central Plains became extremely tense, and as soon as the news of the **** occupying the Tiger Prison Pass came out, it can be said that the impact was huge. This can be seen from the movement of the Chai army, not long after Lin Chong was stationed in the Tiger Pass, the soldiers and horses east of Zhengzhou began to retract, and even Han Shizhong took the initiative to send troops to provoke and ignored it. The Chai army in the south reacted quickly, and most of the soldiers and horses of Ye Dahu and Tian Xingmao began to slowly mobilize to the north, and by June 18 of the second year of Taikang, the Chai family gathered more than 80,000 soldiers and horses near the Tiger Pass, and there was a great posture of annexing the Tiger Pass. As long as the Tiger Prison is in the hands of Ding****, it is like laying a mine in the hinterland of the Chai family, if you don't take out this mine, the Chai army will never dare to mess around. Chai's intentions have been very obvious, to June 21, under the leadership of Chai Yonghao, the first 20,000 soldiers and horses began to storm the Tiger Pass, one day down, Chai can be described as a continuous elite soldiers, under repeated attacks, making the city of the **** is miserable. Now Lin Chong's department is less than 4,000 soldiers and horses, even if Yang Zhi and Hu Yanqing's soldiers and horses are all added together is not enough for 9,000 people, if these soldiers and horses are not easy to defend and difficult to attack by relying on the Tiger Prison Pass, I am afraid that they would have abandoned their officials and fled north.

In the Tiger Prison Pass, Lin Chong, Yang Zhi and Hu Yanqing all had a sad face, Yang Zhi was the most impatient, and said in a rough voice, "Old General Huyan, look at the current situation, the Chai family is bound to win the Tiger Prison Pass, with our current manpower, we will definitely not be able to resist for too long, you see, do you want to ask Guanzhong for help?" ”

Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing both shook their heads, although Hu Yanqing's position is not as good as Lin Chong, he has a very high prestige in the army, and he is old, so Lin Chong and Yang Zhi still respect him very much, "No, there are not many soldiers and horses that can be transferred in Guanzhong now, and you have to guard against Hangu Pass and Jianmen Pass." If it is really needed, the audience will definitely take the initiative to send us reinforcements, and there must be a reason why the reinforcements do not come. ”

Lin Chong deeply agreed with Hu Yanqing's words, now that the Dongfang officials and Zhu Wu have returned to Guanzhong, these two are masters of the art of war in the world, if the tiger prison is dangerous, it is impossible for them to have no action. Just as the three of them were discussing what to do, a cavalryman had already rushed into the Tiger Prison Pass, "Report ...... Guanzhong Urgent ...... Guanzhong urgent! ”

The letter finally came from Guanzhong, Lin Chong opened the letter and circulated it to the three of them, and the urgent report was written by Dongfang Jin, ordering that the Tiger Prison Pass must be held for four days, and there will be reinforcements after four days. Lin Chong and Hu Yanqing were both generals in the world, and they quickly understood Dongfang Jin's intentions, if the Chai clan attacked the Tiger Prison for four days, it must have really plotted to close the Tiger Prison, on the contrary, if not, then it is estimated that there is another plan, so in the case of not being sure of the Chai's true intentions, the soldiers and horses in the Guanzhong must not move.

The situation at Hugao Pass was critical, but at this time, a group of soldiers and horses quietly entered the territory of Yuzhou from Tangzhou, aiming directly at Shangluo Road in the west. Song Jiang had no less than 20,000 troops, and it was said that it was impossible to hide the scouts of the Dingguo Army from so many soldiers and horses, but Song Jiang adopted Wu Yong's suggestion, and the soldiers and horses were reduced to pieces and infiltrated into Yuzhou in batches, and of course it was impossible for more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to get through Shangluo Road. South of the Yellow River into the pass, there are three roads, take the Xishu, from the Jianmen Pass to the north, or take the Hangu Pass and Tongguan, cross the Yellow River, the other road is to take the Shangluo Road, along the way to capture Shangluo and Shangzhou, to the northeast into the Fengling Ferry. Now Shangluo Road is heavily guarded, more than ten days ago, the **** general Wu Liang and the old general Zhang Gong and the deputy general Yan Qing have led the troops to garrison Shangluocheng, five days ago, the new Fengyang Mansion Yin, the rising star Fang Qiliang was ordered to lead the troops to be stationed in Shangzhou, in addition to Fengyang soldiers and horses all evacuated, entered Shangzhou to return to Fang Qiliang transfer, for a time Shangluo Dao concentrated more than 50,000 Ding****, especially Shangluo City has more than 35,000 people, Song Jiang has 20,000 people in his hands, even if it is a sneak attack on Shangluo Dao, it is impossible to succeed.

However, Song Jiang didn't seem to be worried, he knew very well in his heart that since the Cheshire Lord arranged it like this, there must be her reasons. Over the years, Song Jiang has been both respectful and afraid of Chai Keyan, a woman. Chai Keyan is quite scheming, and when it comes to conspiracies, I'm afraid it's no worse than that Zhao Yougong, and if he dares to send troops to Yuzhou, there must be a way to get through Shangluo Dao.

"Brother, what do you say Chai Keyan thinks, I've been thinking about my brother for a few days, but I still didn't expect Chai Keyan to have any way to get through the entire Shangluo Dao!" Song Jiang couldn't help but think about it, it can be said that this problem has been bothering him for a long time, in fact, Song Jiang has never really had a heart with the Chai family, and he is really worried that Chai Keyan will take the opportunity of attacking Shangluo Dao to weaken the strength of Liangshan's soldiers and horses. What Song Jiang thinks, is also what Wu Yong thinks, in the past, Wu Yong can see through some of the arrangements that Chai can say, but this time he can't understand it, Shangluo Dao has been a key road since ancient times, Dongfang Jin and Zhu Lian are all human spirits, and they are heavily defended in Shangluo Dao, but they don't give them a chance at all.

However, Wu Yong is Wu Yong in the end, he stroked the goatee and smiled, "Brother is not more anxious, and it will not be long before I will see it, it is estimated that the Lord of Cheshire is waiting for the situation of the Tiger Prison." (To be continued.) )
