Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

After reporting his guess to Li Xiu, he no longer had the slightest hope for Liao Town, and decisively invited a battalion of Liao Town soldiers from Tashan City out of Tashan City, and at the same time ordered the only cavalry under his command camp, go out of the city to guard the grain road, and seize the time to hoard grain and grass.

But neither Houjin nor Liaozhen obviously would give Yan Shun time to prepare calmly.

Just as if the Guan Ningjin defense line and the huge Liaozhen frontier army did not exist, Daishan led the main force of the Houjin army grandly, passing through Dalinghe Fort, Jinzhou, Songshan, Xingshan, Daxing Fort, Like a divine soldier descending from the sky, they directly surrounded Tashan.

This kind of operation really disgusted Yan Shun. If he was in Shanhaiguan, would the Houjin army simply pass through the entire Guanningjin line of defense and descend directly to Shanhaiguan?

The changes in the war are so unpredictable. The Yanshun Division, which was supposed to be a war supervisor and deterrent, has now become the main force in the war against Hou Jin, and the Liao Town, which should have been the main force, at this moment...

Uh... in "Desperate to the Rescue!"

After Tashan was surrounded by Daishan, Yuan Chonghuan dispatched troops from Jinzhou and Ningyuan to use the strategy of "double-sided attack" to encircle the main force of Houjin.

However, Hou Jin's soldiers were very sharp, and the supporting army was blocked by Hou Jin's "death", and could not advance an inch.

After several days of hard fighting, soldiers were lost and generals were lost, military newspapers asking for help were also sent to the capital one after another, causing the city to be noisy!

As for North Korea and Dongjiang Town, within the scope of Liao Town's defense, they can't play the slightest role...

Chapter 2 Twenty This is Really Disgusting

Chapter 221 Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

In fact, it wasn't just Yan Shun who was as disgusting as eating flies. When the Liaodong military situation spread to the capital, the government and the public, no matter what political opinions were different at the moment, were all disgusted by the "magical" battle situation in Liaodong. .

If in the past, the battle situation had evolved to this point, there would not have been too many fluctuations in the ruling and opposition parties. After all, it was not once or twice that Hou Jin plundered Liao Town.The more times you do it, the more you get used to it.

But now, he is not the only one in Liao Town!

On the prairie, the Marquis of Zhenbei swept across Mobei with the momentum of thunder, and his troops approached Monan. Facing the enemy's army of tens of thousands, the current battle situation also had the upper hand.

Dongjiang North Korea, two armies raided and harassed Liaodong, which also put a lot of pressure on Houjin.

Now, Liao Town is the only one that has nothing to do. However, the tens of thousands of troops of the Beijing camp with Li Xiu's single-handed drills exist in Liaodong.

With such a battle situation and such a situation, the government and the opposition, even if they oppose this battle, they have to admit that this battle... It seems that it is really possible to destroy Houjin.

There were even courtiers who were so enthusiastic that they even wrote a hymn after the destruction of Houjin in World War I, and the government and the public rushed to follow suit, making it almost as if Houjin had been destroyed.

But at this time, when Houjin was surrounded by enemies on all sides, the main force was still deep into Liao Town, and it was obvious that they were going to fight a protracted war of encirclement and annihilation?

I'm afraid it's treating everyone in the world as fools!

Even ordinary people on the street who don't know a single word will be puzzled, how dare Hou Jin?Does Liao Town no longer exist?

The reason for this may be confusing to ordinary people who cannot read, but for the court princes, it is obviously very clear what it means.

The joy of victory, which was still brimming with joy, disappeared without a trace under the news, and the depression like a dark cloud enveloped the ruling and opposition parties.

On that day, the emperor, who had been resting quietly and rarely got angry, was furious for the first time in the court after several months!

But obviously, now, anger can't solve any problems. Liao Zhen's move seems to be Sima Zhao's heart, and everyone knows it.

But with the current battle situation, Liao Town has changed, and if you are a little careless, you will lose everything!Moreover, it will be a complete loss of life and death.

At this time, after feeling the threat of life and death, the courtiers who had been reluctantly tied together by Zhu Youjian also spontaneously gathered together again to make suggestions, coordinate mobilization, and make various suggestions and decisions.

There were more than [-] troops in the Beijing camp, [-] cavalry were taken away by Li Xiu, and [-] troops were taken away by Yan Shun. Now the remaining tens of thousands of troops were also urgently mobilized and ordered to go out.

But this time, Chaotang became even more afraid of Liaozhen.

In addition to strictly ordering Liao Town to fully support Tashan, where the tens of thousands of troops sent to Liaodong again will be stationed has become the focus of debate at this time.

Some suggested stationing in Shanhaiguan and guarding the gates of Liaodong, and some suggested that under such circumstances, it is not appropriate to move Liaozhen, and those who should be stationed in Shanhaiguan to prevent accidents. By.

Any proposal is well-founded and has its own considerations, but obviously, given the current situation, whether to support Tashan or not, the initiative does not lie with the imperial court, but with Liaozhen.

If Liao Town is willing to support, the siege of Tashan is impossible. If Liao Town has no intention to support, sending troops there will only make the situation worse.

But at present, Liao Town is obviously the heart of Sima Zhao, and everyone knows it.

But the problem is, even if it is Sima Zhao's heart, the court can't do anything arbitrarily at this moment.

Otherwise, Liao Zhen will be pushed into a hurry...

Daming couldn't bear the consequences!

In the end, it was the Son of Heaven who made the final decision, ordering the last tens of thousands of troops in the capital camp to enter Shanhaiguan, and sent this order to Liao Town, ready to test Liao Town's reaction.

Unexpectedly by the courtiers, Liaozhen accepted the order without hesitation, and Shanhaiguan opened the gates to welcome the entry of the Beijing army.

Obviously, for both Yuan Chonghuan and the Liaodong generals, these are just side effects.

As far as they are concerned, as long as the Beijing army of Tashan is resolved, the main force of Houjin will send troops to Monan, and with the power of the Mongolian and main forces of Houjin in Monan, the coalition army formed temporarily by the Marquis of Zhenbei will be absolutely irresistible and defeated. It is also inevitable.

Once Zhenbeihou is defeated, with the urgency of the courtiers, no one will care about what he did in Liaozhen. Under the threat of Houjin, even if the court hates Liaozhen, it will have to Holding your nose and relying on Liao Town, Liao Town, you can still have both sides, and live a life of both sides.

Of course, there is another threat to Liao Zhen...

Since the beginning of the battle, Yuan Chonghuan and the Liaodong generals are all at the center of their plans.

That is, Dongjiang Town!

To a certain extent, Dongjiang Town is quite similar to the now prestigious Zhenbeihou Clan.

Everything in the huge military group formed by Zhenbeihou is tied to Zhenbeihou, and everything in Dongjiang Town is also tied to Mao Wenlong.

Once there is a problem between the two, the entire military group will immediately fall apart.

The existence of Zhenbei Hou threatened the life and death of Liaozhen.

And Dongjiang Town, to a large extent, is also a threat to Liao Town.

Especially if the plan against Marquis of Zhenbei is successful, even if the court holds its nose and calms things down, if Mao Wenlong and Dongjiang Town still exist, one need not think about it, the court's focus will definitely be completely shifted to Dongjiang Town and Mao Wenlong.

Now, there is a killer move for Marquis Zhenbei.

And Mao Wenlong...

After hearing the news that Tashan was surrounded by Houjin, Mao Wenlong, who was still looting in the hinterland of Houjin, was so shocked that he couldn't even speak.

Although there were speculations before, they were only speculations after all. Coupled with the current situation, he didn't think Liao Zhen would be so bold.

Unexpectedly, Liaozhen was really so bold. After confirming the truth of the news, Mao Wenlong resolutely gave up all the previous strategic plans, gathered the Dongjiang army that was still raging in the hinterland of Houjin, and decisively retreated!

Huddled in Dongjiang Town, except for a small group of soldiers to harass, no matter how Liao Town sends a letter urging troops to be dispatched, the main force will never be sent out.

Mao Wenlong's keen sense of smell seemed to exceed Yuan Chonghuan's expectation.

In this way, it caused Yuan Chonghuan and the Liaodong generals a lot of headaches, but when Mao Wenlong was a shrinking turtle, they couldn't do anything about Mao Wenlong.

Of course, under these sudden changes in the situation, the most bewildered is the North Korean army.

Ben also wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-thousand-year opportunity to follow Daming, the suzerain country, to beat Hou Jin Nuzhen well, in order to avenge the hatred of being bullied by Hou Jin before.

But in the blink of an eye, all the allies beside him disappeared?

He just joined in the fun and became a well-deserved main force?

In such a situation, the North Korean side didn't care about it, and immediately went back home without saying a word.

The crisis-ridden situation in Hou Jin had disappeared without a trace after this sudden change.

The mighty battle of destroying the country, if Zhenbeihou was not still fighting against Mongolia and Mang Gurtai in Monan, it would be like a joke.

Such an ever-changing situation, the sudden shattering of the glory that was clearly within reach, also made the world's public opinion boil over it.

Chapter 221 Sima Zhao's heart is well known to passers-by.

Chapter 222 Changes in Situation

Tashan is really not far from Ningyuan City, tens of miles away, even standing on the top of Ningyuan City, one can get a general idea of ​​the current battle in Tashan.

This battle is destined to leave a strong mark in the history.

Liao Town has a total force of nearly [-] soldiers, who are close at hand, but sit back and watch the friendly army besieged without making any move.

In this way, not to mention the boiling public opinion in the world, even within Liao Town, there is a lot of doubts and even opposition.

These objections, if they were in the past, could still play some role. However, the Liao people have implemented the strategy of defending Liao soil for a long time. Man Gui and Zhao Ledjiao, who were once influential in Liaodong, were all transferred away. Liao Town.

Then in the battle of King Qin in the capital, there were dead and lonely people. Now, under the situation where the Liao people are all in power, these voices of opposition disappeared completely without causing any trouble.

As for the soldiers at the bottom...

From ancient times to the present, they have only been obedient to orders. Even if they have doubts and doubts, they only dare to hold them in their hearts. What's more, for military groups of any era, for the bottom-level soldiers, the information channels are blocked. , It is also short-term, and those who can see clearly are only a very small number after all, and cannot affect the overall situation.

In the bloody storm of Tashan, Ningyuan, Jinzhou, and even the rest of Liaozhen's towns and forts were peaceful, as if this war did not exist in Liaodong at all.

Of course, looking at the entire Liao Town, apart from Tashan, there is another place that is also not peaceful.

That is Shanhaiguan!

Loyalty Bo Zhao Wu, who was originally in charge of the capital camp, led the remaining army of the capital camp. He should serve as horns with the imperial city's forbidden army to stabilize the capital.

Now, of course, under the order of the emperor, he led the remaining tens of thousands of troops to Shanhaiguan.

This is undoubtedly not a good job. Although Liaozhen opened the Shanhaiguan Pass and was willing to let the Beijing army settle in, the battle of Tashan was heating up. Would he support it or not?

If you don't support, I'm sorry for the robe, I'm sorry for the morality in my heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to gain a foothold in this Beijing army in the future!

But if it is support... why is Tashan surrounded?Liao Town is an unavoidable problem.

Fortunately, as soon as the army arrived at Shanhaiguan, the military order from the Monan Grassland had already arrived.

Take control of Shanhaiguan without supporting Tashan!

With this military order, Zhao Wucai finally heaved a sigh of relief, the army entered Shanhaiguan, together with Liaozhen, stationed in the most powerful pass in the world, they are all generals of the Ming Dynasty, but they are like fire and water.

Of course, all of this is just the beginning. The word "control" clearly expresses Li Xiu's thoughts. Zhao Wu naturally understands that although it is not easy to grasp the balance, it is better than going out of Shanhaiguan and facing the enemies from all directions. Conspiracy and calculation, it is much easier to wipe out the whole army if you are not careful.

In fact, ever since the Beijing army entered Shanhaiguan, the conflict between the Beijing army and the Liaozhen frontier army has never stopped.

Although the leaders and generals of both sides faced each other with smiles and kept the last face, the middle and lower ranks were different, especially the soldiers of the Beijing camp!

It is tacitly understood why it is because of the fact that Paoze, who is also in the Beijing camp, is completely surrounded by Houjin and is in a bitter fight.

The upper-level generals must take into account the influence and maintain their dignity until the situation is clear, but the middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers don't think so. If Zhao Wu hadn't tried his best to suppress it, after the Beijing army entered Shanhaiguan, the front of the Beijing battalion would probably be against them. The border army of Liao Town in Shanhaiguan was approved.

Even so, the daily conflicts between the soldiers of the two sides are constant, and the soldiers of the Beijing camp seem to no longer regard the Liaozhen border army as a friendly army...

Everywhere in Shanhaiguan, where there is a frontier army in Liaozhen, there are soldiers of the Beijing army, like guarding against thieves.

Under such circumstances, the situation of this war has become clear again.

The war of annihilating the country that was originally expected by the ruling and opposition parties is already a delusion.

Now, for Daming, what has to be done is naturally how to maintain the current results of the battle, and how not to lose the current strategic advantage.

Under such circumstances, the situation of the war is also very obvious.

There are two centers of gravity, Monan and Tashan!

In other words, now, it depends on whether Zhenbei Hou first dealt with the post-Golden and Mongolian coalition forces in Monan, or Houjin dealt with the Beijing camp army in Tashan first.

Other factors, under the influence of Liao Zhen, have been difficult to affect the changes in the battle situation.

The situation of the war once again attracted the attention of the whole world. Of course, at this time of attention, the public opinion crusade against Liao Town was naturally still raging.

However, compared to the turmoil of public opinion among the people, after the initial turmoil, the court gradually calmed down.

The courtiers can naturally see that in the current situation, it is meaningless to talk about it. If Zhenbei Hou wins this battle, he will inevitably settle accounts with Liao Zhen Qiuhou.

If you lose...

Liao Town is still Liao Town, no matter how much talk there is, it can't hurt Liao Town in the slightest.

Compared with the uncertainty and anxiety of the courtiers, who can only sit on the development of the situation, for Li Xiu, the planner and implementer of this battle, all these, although there are unexpected accidents, are still under control overall. , but there is no need to worry too much.

Whether Tashan can be defended, he is not sure.

However, in Li Xiu's view, there should be no problem with the Mongolian post-Jin coalition army that lasted until he solved Monan.

After all, there is one thing that the thieves in Houjin and Liaodong never thought of.

That is, at the beginning of the war, Li Xiu kept vigilance against Liao Town. Yan Shun's corps, from the capital city to Liaodong, lingered along the way, marching at an extremely slow speed. Under such circumstances, a large number of military equipment, food and grass All go with the army.

Under such circumstances, even though they are now under siege, it is no problem to supply the Beijing camp army with the grain and grass carried by the army for a month or two.

A time or two is enough for him to deal with the post-Golden Mongol coalition forces in Monan.

Once he wiped out Monan, as long as Liaozhen didn't tear up its last face and rebelled, then Ming's strategic advantage over Houjin would be inevitable.

Later Jin's siege of Tashan was also doomed to end without a problem.

However, with Liao Zhen's bold behavior this time, Li Xiu really didn't dare to have the slightest hope for Liao Zhen's integrity. This is also the most important reason why he ordered Zhao Wu to control Shanhaiguan.

As long as Shanhaiguan is held in his hands, and he will pacify Monan on his side, on Liaodong's side, will the whole town of Liaozhen rebel, or the entire army of Tashan will be wiped out!
