Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Huanglong Mansion.

This place is located in present-day Nong'an County, Jilin Province. It was the first military fortress of the Liao Dynasty in Northeast China, with high walls, deep moats, and strict defenses.

Recently, it seems that some bad news has been received. The garrison near Huanglongfu has been under martial law all day long, and strict control has been exercised over people entering and leaving.

The more vigilant they are, the more serious the problem is!

It's actually quite easy to understand, because the current Jin Dynasty under Aguda had its capital in Shangjing, and Huanglongfu was a great threat to the Jin Dynasty!

If not dealt with promptly, the Liao army could launch a campaign from Huanglongfu and strike Shangjing in a very short time, threatening the Jin dynasty's rule!

For Aguda, Huanglongfu, as the area where the Liao army's forces were most concentrated in the north, was also a very important supply point!

If he can capture this place, he can take over all kinds of military resources in Huanglong Prefecture, and all kinds of weapons and food supplies will be replenished! This equipment is enough for the Jin Kingdom to expand its army again!

Wanyan Aguda had already planned it all out. Taking Huanglongfu alone would be like inserting a dagger deep into the heart of the Liao people, causing them to suffer a fatal crisis in the Northeast and thus completely losing their military dominance in the region!

This matter was of utmost urgency, so as soon as Aguda ascended the throne, before he had even settled into his seat, he immediately mobilized his army to charge towards Huanglongfu!

However, Huanglongfu, as the Liao Dynasty's primary military stronghold in the northeast, possessed complete inner and outer city facilities. Moreover, the outer city was well-defended, and the inner city was fortified. If the Jin Dynasty attempted to take it by force, it would be attacked from both sides if Liao troops were to reinforce it!

This was unacceptable to the newly established Kim dynasty.

Therefore, Aguda also summoned his generals to discuss the battle plan.

"Your Majesty, I believe we can achieve a swift victory! Please grant me an army; I will bring it down within three days!"

Wanyan Wuqimai was the first to declare that he could take on Huanglong Prefecture, a mere place! He was confident he could conquer it!

"A swift and decisive victory? Do you have a plan?"

Because Wanyan Wuqimai was Wanyan Aguda's most beloved younger brother, his status rose significantly after Aguda became emperor, and his opinions were very important in major decisions.

"Your Majesty, I can send those foreigners as a suicide squad first!"

Wanyan Wuqimai said, "Since you, my royal brother, have given such high treatment to the people of our Jin Kingdom who are not Jurchens, then they must also pay some price!"

For example, being a suicide squad member would be great!

"Fourth Brother, this isn't quite right. The Emperor said that in our Great Jin, no matter what ethnicity we are, we are all one family."

The speaker was the fifth prince, Wanyan Xieye, also known as Wanyan Gao. He was also very talented in military affairs! He even became the heir to the throne of the Jin Dynasty in the future. Unfortunately, he died young in 1130, before he could take over the throne.

"That's all predicated on the fact that our Great Jin still exists!"

Wanyan Wuqimai said that he could indeed give those people some preferential treatment, but the premise was that the Great Jin Dynasty must exist!

The battle of Huanglongfu is crucial to the survival of the Great Jin Dynasty. Those who are not Jurchens must contribute first!

"I agree with Fourth Brother's statement."

Aguda's sixth brother, Wanyan Wosai, was also a man with great military talent. Like Wanyan Wuqimai, he wanted to use people from other ethnic groups to pave the way for the Jurchens!

"What you are doing is wrong. In the words of the Central Plains, you are killing the goose that lays the golden eggs! This will cause the Great Jin to lose the hearts of the people!"

Wanyan Xie also said, "You can't do this! I won't allow the people's hearts that my second brother worked so hard to build up for the Great Jin to be ruined in your hands!"

"Ninth Brother, what do you think?"

When a large family gets into a fight, they have to pull people together, so Wanyan Wuqimai looked at the silent ninth brother, Wanyan Shezhe.

The reason I skipped the seventh brother, Wanyan Wo, and the eighth brother, Wanyan Wugunai, is because these two guys are considered useless in the Wanyan family. After all, a family can't be full of geniuses, otherwise how would the others survive? Perhaps the seventh and eighth brothers were sent by heaven to balance the Wanyan family's fortune.

But the ninth brother, Wanyan Zhe, is another fierce general! And he's very young! Only twenty-five years old this year! And he's not the kind of reckless brute; on the contrary, he's both brave and resourceful!

"I will listen to my elder brother."

Wanyan Zhe said he would not express his opinion; he would listen to his second brother!

"Hmph, so Ninth Brother forfeits! Sixth Brother and I both agree, Fifth Brother, you're only one person, so it's two to one, listen to us!"

Wanyan Wuqimai said, "We need to look at the number of people, right?"

"What are your thoughts, Prince Consort Jin Dao?"

Wanyan Aguda did not answer immediately, but instead looked at his Golden Knife Prince Consort Zeng Sheng.

"Your Majesty, I believe that while a swift victory is desirable, it is not the most effective method."

Zeng Sheng stepped forward and spoke.

"Give your opinion."

Aguda gestured for Zeng Sheng to continue.

"Yes."

Zeng Sheng nodded, then looked at the group of uncles and elders.

"Huanglongfu City is high and the moat is deep. Even if we launch a strong attack, we will suffer huge losses. Although our Jurchen warriors are not afraid of death, it does not mean that other tribes are the same as us."

“If we force them to become suicide squad members, I’m afraid they might mutini halfway through, which would be even more counterproductive.”

"Therefore, my suggestion is that before the Liao army arrives, we should first surround Huanglong Prefecture! We should clear out all possible places around Huanglong Prefecture that could provide support, and then use the terrain to block any Liao reinforcements that may come!"

Zeng Sheng offered his own perspective.

"Once Huanglong Prefecture is besieged, the Liao people will definitely mobilize troops from nearby areas. The only place they can mobilize troops from is this outpost city on the outer perimeter. When the soldiers from the outpost city leave the city, we will immediately rush over and attack the outpost city! We will completely lock Huanglong Prefecture in our siege, causing chaos in their army and the people. In this way, we will definitely be able to take Huanglong Prefecture in a short time!"

Zeng Sheng's plan sounds complicated, but simply put, it is the famous strategic idea of ​​"openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass!"

We'll openly surround your Huanglongfu, but instead of attacking, we'll attack your reinforcements!

We'll secretly ambush your outpost and take it down, turning your Yellow Dragon Prefecture into an isolated city!

Let's see how long you can last!

You might think this plan is ingenious, but it's really not that brilliant; it's just average.

However, this strategy was exceptional among the Jurchen people, mainly because although the Jurchens had great generals like Wanyan Wugumai, they were mostly self-taught. There were no generals like Zeng Sheng who had hired professional teachers and received professional training.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the Prince Consort's plan is feasible."

At this moment, the one who stood up to speak was Wanyan Loushi, who was known as the ever-victorious general in the Jin Dynasty!

He was a very important tactician when Aguda raised his army!

He approved of Zeng Sheng's plan, which made Wanyan Aguda very happy, because Zeng Sheng was his son-in-law. If the son-in-law was approved, it meant that the father-in-law had good judgment!

Therefore, when Wanyan Aguda looked at Zeng Sheng again, the affection in his eyes was unmistakable!

The father-in-law is finding his son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye!
