Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

"Strategist, have we now taken over the entire Liaozhou? What's next?"

On the city wall of Liaozhou, Mi Sheng looked at Xiao Jiasui and asked with great interest.

This time, they disguised themselves as Liao people and got into Liaozhou City very easily.

However, the Liao army commander in Liaozhou City was not one to be trifled with. As soon as Xiao Jiasui and his men entered the city, the Liao army commander immediately noticed something was wrong!

Well, the Liao army here is quite good at discovering the problem. Although it's a bit late, it's better than discovering nothing at all.

Upon discovering the problem, the Liao army immediately tried to stop their actions, but they did not expect that Xiao Jiasui's troops would not stop so easily.

Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi, disguised as Liao army generals, rushed forward immediately and took control of the city gate!

Although the Liaozhou garrison commander attempted to resist, how effective could such resistance be against a group of experts such as Mi Shengshan, Shi Qi, Yuan Lang, and Deng Yuanjue?

After all, the Dayi Army didn't like killing prisoners. If anyone surrendered, they were basically all taken to do hard labor.

The fact that the garrison in Liaozhou City refused to surrender is fantastic news! Everyone's always worried about not having enough battles, and this time they've really had their fill!

However, people still die in war. The Liao army's tenacious resistance this time also caused casualties to the Dayi army. Many people did not take the Liao people seriously because it was their first time fighting them, so they suffered heavy losses!

Compared to the incompetence of the Song and Goryeo armies, the individual combat skills of the Liao soldiers were still very strong!

In other words, the troops sent by Dayi this time were all elites, and their leaders led the charge. In addition, most of the troops in Liaozhou City were transferred away. Otherwise, in terms of individual combat ability alone, the Liao army would still be superior.

This made Xiao Jiasui very unhappy. Since he, the Grand Strategist Xiao, debuted at Liangshan, he had never suffered such a loss!

Moreover, Xiao Jiasui discovered that brothers like Mi Sheng and Shan Shiqi, who were not from the government army, did not seem to pay much attention to this issue. Perhaps in their view, capturing a city was a huge victory.

"Training the troops!"

Xiao Jiasui said that although Liaozhou was captured in this battle, the army suffered more than 100 casualties, which exceeded his expectations.

"Troop training?"

Mi Sheng and the others were taken aback, their faces showing confusion, clearly not quite understanding.

Didn't we win? Why is the strategist so serious?

"Yes, doesn't everyone know how this battle turned out?"

Xiao Jiahui's tone left the generals even more confused. Was the strategist angry? Who had offended him?

Immediately, everyone's eyes turned to Mi Sheng, as if asking:

"Old Hei, did you offend the strategist?"

"Don't look at me! I didn't say anything to the strategist! It has nothing to do with me!"

Mi Sheng noticed his brothers' gazes and quickly denied it, waving his hands repeatedly.

Who dares to anger Military Advisor Xiao!

"Strategist, we successfully captured Liaozhou using a strategy. Although the strategy was discovered halfway through, it still played a significant role. It can only be said that the Liao people in the city are more cautious, not that it was our fault."

Shan Shiqi calmed Mi Sheng down and then presented his opinion to Xiao Jiahui.

"Yes, that's right. If I had to find a reason, I could come up with a thousand reasons to prove that this was a great victory. After all, we've taken Liaozhou, which is a huge blow to the Liao people."

Xiao Jiahui initially affirmed Shan Shiqi's statement, but then changed the subject:

"But brothers, don't forget, we're not attacking Liaozhou head-on. We're attacking a Liaozhou that has had most of its troops transferred away, leaving the city with very few soldiers! We even used a disguise tactic to directly seize one of the city gates!"

"Even with such a calculated attack, our process of capturing the city was far from smooth, and we even lost several hundred men. Do you think this can really be considered a great victory?"

Xiao Jiahui's words silenced the soldiers around him.

Yes, what the strategist said makes a lot of sense!

"Strategist, Chief Xu and Chief Yang have taken over the military camp outside the city. Although they haven't found many warhorses, they have discovered a horse farm specially built by the Liao people, which has plenty of fodder. The cavalry's supply is no longer a problem."

Xiao Jiahui's expression softened considerably upon hearing that Xu Ning and Yang Zhi had taken over the horse farm.

"map."

The junior officer beside him handed over a map. After carefully examining the current situation, Xiao Jiasui summoned the messenger from the Sky Curtain:

"Send a message to my brother, telling him that Liaozhou has been captured by us, and that we will attack Jinzhou next. Please send men to attack Gaizhou as soon as possible. We must take over the entire Bohai region before the Liao people can react!"

Xiao Jiasui's judgment was absolutely correct. According to 21st-century maps, his tactical plan was to capture Jinzhou and use it as a border fortress, thus bringing the entire eastern Liaoning region under Dayi's control.

As for how important Jinzhou's geographical location is, it serves as a vital link between North China and Northeast China. Whoever controls Jinzhou holds the initiative!

"We still have a chance to make up for the poor performance in Liaozhou. I hope everyone can be in high spirits and fight well in the battle of Jinzhou!"

"Everyone must remember what my brother said: strategically, we can despise all enemies and believe that Dayi will surely win."

"But we must pay attention to tactics and the individual skills of our soldiers, especially the Liao people. They have been able to suppress the Song Dynasty for so many years, so they must have some skills. We must not underestimate them, do you understand?!"

Xiao Jiahui reminded everyone again that they must not let their guard down. Dayi has only just begun, and the battle with the enemy has only just started. If the brothers become arrogant and complacent and underestimate the enemy at this time, then there is no point in talking about expanding territory. Everyone should just go back to the marshland and retire.

"Yes!"

Xiao Jiahui is usually quite carefree and unrestrained, but once he gets serious, everyone knows that the matter is really serious.

So everyone responded to Xiao Jiahui very seriously, even Mi Sheng was particularly obedient. Seeing this, Xiao Jiahui was relieved.

……

When Ren Yuan's side captured Liaoyang City and received Xiao Jiasui's battle report, Ren Yuan, who was familiar with the famous Liaoshen Campaign, immediately exclaimed that Xiao Jiasui's strategic vision was truly remarkable.

If Xiao Jiasui's plan proceeds smoothly, then the area east of Jinzhou and north of Dalian in Liaoning Province will become Dayi's territory. Furthermore, Dayi will gain control of the Bohai Bay, perfectly complementing Liangshan Marsh's previous control of the sea outlet!

Given the momentum of the Liangshan navy's development, the entire Bohai Sea will become their home ground in the future!

"Reply to Military Advisor Xiao, agree to his battle plan, and tell him that Jinzhou is now in his hands!"

Ren Yuan stated directly, "Let's fight like this!"

"Furthermore, instruct Military Advisor Xiao that he must not charge into battle unless absolutely necessary! This is a military order; if he disobeys, it will be considered disobeying an imperial decree!"
