"Taifu, Jinzhou war report."

Liu Xing had just finished making arrangements for the affairs of Guangnan West Road, and a messenger held a battle report and rushed to the front with a swift pace.

After standing on his feet and presenting the battle report, the messenger Zhengse said: "Yesterday morning, when our army's Yanzhi Department surrounded and annihilated a group of Jin soldiers west of Jinzhou, those Mongolian cavalry who were originally hiding a hundred miles away suddenly killed. General Koshiri firmly carried out Taifu's tactics and routed those Mongol cavalry. 7,300 were killed and 3,200 were captured. ”

The messenger paused slightly, and after seeing Liu Xing bowing his head to read the battle report, he raised his voice and said: "It has been determined from the mouths of those captives that the Mongolian cavalry hidden in the rear of the Jin army is the Tatar and Zhetai divisions, with a total of 240,000 people. Yang Zhitai asked Taifu to allow him to lead his troops to end the Jinzhou round battle and attack the grassland to level Tatar. ”

After listening to the rumor and quickly reading the battle report, Liu Xing raised his head and looked into the distance with a deep gaze and pondered.

After thinking about it, Liu Xingzhengse ordered: "Give Zhang Xian'an the rank of general in the north, and the Anbei army will be in control, and he will be ordered to command the troops of the two towns to attack Liaodong." Give him a month to sweep away those Korean soldiers, and if I can do it, I will give him an official and a knight, and if he can't do it, he will be dismissed from office. ”

As soon as the messenger saw Liu Xing speak, he had already taken out a brush and dipped it on the tip of his tongue, ready to record. As soon as Liu Xing spoke, he quickly wrote down the order that Liu Xing said.

After seeing that he finished recording, Liu Xing continued: "Confer the rank of general of Zhiding Zhiding Bei, and the command of the Dingbei Army, and order him to command the two towns of the army and directly take the Tatar Department behind the Jin soldiers." Yang Yizhong was ordered to end the battle in Jinzhou within three days and immediately lead the other three towns to the north after taking Jinzhou. Within three months, I want to see him go straight to the Huanglong Mansion and kill the Yan family. ”

"Kill all the Yan clan?" As soon as Liu Xing's order came out, Hui couldn't help but be shocked and said, "Taifu." Do you want Yang Yizhong to kill all the Yan clan? Then, isn't that to slaughter half of the Jurchens? The killing is too heavy. But it's detrimental to merit! ”

Listen to what he has to say. Liu Xing smiled coldly: "The Jurchens are demonic ways, right?" Didn't the group of old immortals in the heavenly court deliberately let the demons fight against the human dao for many years, didn't they look good? This time, I will try my best to lose all my merits, and I will also eradicate the demonic path from now on, and not give those old immortals a chance to play with my human path again. What's wrong, am I doing this wrong? ”

"Yes, yes, but, but, it's ......" Hui said halfway, paused to think for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Kill the Jurchens, then how do you treat those Goryeo and Tatars?" ”

His face became unusually cold. Liu Xing said in a deep voice: "The herald ordered Zhi Yan to kill the cavalry of the Tatar division that entered the golden dog ground without mercy and surrender, but only try to capture their war horses. The herald ordered Zhang Zhu to kill those Goryeo people without mercy and refuse to surrender, and to kill all of them in Liaodong for me, so that none of them would flee back to Goryeo. ”

At this point, Liu Xing's voice became high: "Those who offend me as a strong man will be punished even if they are far away." Those who mess with my Great Song Dynasty will destroy their clan. I will make all the countries within the four seas dare not do anything against my Great Song Dynasty from now on. I want to make my Great Song the most awesome ...... in the universe."

Chen Tang's sentence back then that those who clearly offended the strong Han will be punished even if they are far away, the original intention was to let the barbarians understand that even if the country that offended the powerful Han was far away, we would definitely kill it.

What kind of character is Chen Tang who said that? Hui is very clear.

Chen Tang liked to read when he was a teenager and had a broad idea of composition. However, because the family is poor and sometimes lives by begging, Chen Tang is not valued by the township. Later, he wandered to Chang'an and met Zhang Bo, the Marquis of Fuping. Zhang Bo felt that he was very talented.

In the second year of the first century, Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty issued an edict asking the ministers of the princes to recommend young talents, and Zhang Bo recommended Chen Tang to the imperial court.

While waiting for the assignment, his father died. Chen Tang heard the news of his death and did not go home for funeral. At that time, mourning and filial piety were very important.

Because of this incident, Chen Tang was accused of lacking a minimum of filial piety and not following the routine. So the court condemned Zhang Bo, cut his 200 households for his improper recommendation, and arrested Chen Tang and imprisoned him.

Later, someone strongly recommended him, and Chen Tang was finally appointed as a Lang official. Chen Tang took the initiative to request an envoy to a foreign country, and a few years later he was appointed as the deputy lieutenant of the Western Regions Protectorate, and he and the lieutenant Gan Yanshou were ordered to envoy to the Western Regions.

At that time, the situation in the Western Regions was more complicated.

During the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, the Xiongnu were in civil strife, and the five Dan Yu were vying for the throne, among which Zhi Zhi Shan Yu annexed the three kingdoms of Huyan, Jiankun and Ding Ling by force, and became stronger and stronger. imprisoned the envoy Jiang Naishi of the Han Dynasty, and later killed the envoy Gu Ji.

Zhi Zhishan knew that he had lost to the Han Dynasty and was afraid that the Han Dynasty would send troops to retaliate, so he ran west to Kangju. King Kangju respected Zhizhi and gave his daughter to him as his wife.

Zhizhi borrowed troops to attack the neighboring country Wusun many times, and went deep into Chigu Castle to kill and plunder the population and loot livestock and property. Wusun did not dare to fight back, but fled from afar, so Zhizhi had a sphere of influence thousands of miles away, thinking that he was the lord of a great country, and he disrespected King Kangju very much, so he killed King Kangju's daughter, nobles and hundreds of other people in a fit of rage, and also dismembered some corpses and threw them into the water of Dulai.

At the same time, he sent envoys to Su, Dawan and other countries to coerce them to pay tribute to him every year. Those small countries did not dare not give. The Han Dynasty also sent envoys to Kangju three times to ask for the bodies of the envoy Gu Ji and others.

Zhizhi not only did not give it, but also insulted the Han envoy, saying in a mocking tone: "In distress, I am willing to return to the strong man and send my son to serve." The Han envoy heard the meaning of his words, and the ambition to replace the emperor, which was really arrogant.

After Chen Tang and Gan Yanshou learned about these situations of Zhizhi Shan Yu, they sent troops to the Western Regions in the third year of Jianzhao (36 BC).

Chen Tang is a person who is "brave and thoughtful, scheming, and happy with his achievements." ”

Whenever he passed by towns or mountains and rivers, he would climb high and look far away, carefully observe and record.

This time, he went to the Western Regions with only a convoy army, not a conquest army. When they went out of the country, Chen Tang said to Gan Yanshou: "Zhi Zhishan is fierce and brutal, and dominates the Western Regions, if he continues to develop, it will definitely be a disaster in the Western Regions." Now he lives far away, there is no city that can be defended, and there is no soldier who is good at using a strong crossbow, if we gather the soldiers on the border of Tuntian, and then call the soldiers of Wusun and other countries, and directly attack Zhizhi, he will not be able to hold it, even if he escapes, there is no place to hide, this is a great opportunity for us to make contributions to the country, a golden opportunity! ”

Gan Yanshou thought that his analysis was very reasonable, so he said that he would take action after asking the court for approval. Chen Tang said: "This is a bold plan, those court ministers are ordinary people, once they discuss it, they will definitely think that it is not feasible." ”

Gan Yanshou considered that he should still go through the formalities of the recital, and at this time he fell ill. Chen Tang waited day after day, and in his anxiety, he decisively took measures to falsely pass on the holy decree, mobilizing the soldiers of the Han Dynasty's Tuntian and the soldiers of the Cheshi Kingdom.

Gan Yanshou was shocked when he heard the news on the sickbed, and wanted to immediately stop Chen Tang's illegal behavior.

Chen Tang held the hilt of his sword angrily at that time, and said in a threatening tone: "The army has been gathered, do you still want to stop the army?" If you don't seize the fighter plane to attack, what kind of general is it? ”

Gan Yanshou had no choice but to obey him, leading more than 40,000 soldiers from all walks of life and all ethnic groups, stipulating a unified order, organizing a branch team sequence, and marching north with great fanfare. (To be continued.) )
