Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

In the night of this day, to the south of the Liao State Palace in Zhongjing City, there was a lot of bright lights here!

This is the temporary station of the staff headquarters who followed Zhao Chen, and they are urgently studying the latest intelligence coming from the north.

Zhao Chen, Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others also came here to listen to the analysis of northern intelligence conducted by the General Staff Headquarters.

"Your Majesty, Yelu Dashi flees, this will have a certain impact on our recovery of Liaodong, but the impact will not be too great!" An officer from the combat department stood in front of Zhao Chen, Qu Duan and others, reporting.

"The impact will not be too great? Why?" Zhao Chen said.

"The two biggest forces in Liaodong nowadays are the rebellious Khitan army and the Jurchen army. Yelu Dashi can undoubtedly influence the Khitan army, but the Khitan army will never submit to the Jurchen. They will still fight the Jurchen! Therefore, there is only one reason for the rebellion, that is, there is no food! If the Yelü Dashi cannot solve the food problem, the Khitan people will not follow the Yelü Dashi! According to the information we obtained in Liaodong, the Jurchens themselves have insufficient food. It is impossible to feed more than one million rebels and Khitan people everywhere!" said the military officer.

The situation in Liaodong now is like the peasant uprisings in various places in the late Ming Dynasty! At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world was full of flames, and the Ming Dynasty officials continued to encircle and suppress peasant uprisings, but the ranks of peasant uprisings grew stronger and stronger. The main reason was that the imperial court did not have food in its hands, and it was impossible for the imperial court to provide relief! In addition to the daily exploitation of local government, wealthy people were unwilling to take out their food, and finally the world was in chaos. Even if the Ming Dynasty government had great skills, it was impossible to quell the peasant uprising!

The same is true in Liaodong now. No matter how prestigious the Yelu Dashi is, no matter how powerful the Jurchen army is, the Khitan people everywhere still have to rebel. Unless Yelu Dashi and Jurchen can solve the problem of the Khitan people’s food, the rebellion will end, but this is obviously It is impossible!

"According to the research conducted by our staff headquarters, Yelv Dashi is likely to invite Yelu Yanxi out after arriving in Liaodong. This Yelu Yanxi is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom and still has a high prestige among the Khitans. This is a problem faced by the Liaodong Rebels. Threat." The officer continued.

"Yelü Yanxi!" Zhao Chen was taken aback, he almost forgot about this person.

"Yelü Yanxi is the king of subjugation. Although he has prestige, the people just fear him and do not respect him! Your Majesty, all the leaders of the Khitan rebel army including Yeluhong, Wang Gui, Xiao Qi, etc. are Our people, Yelu Yanxi cannot win the leadership of the rebel army from their hands!" Yu Yunwen said.

"What is the best way to respond to the staff headquarters!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we can make Yeluhong, Wang Gui, Xiao Qi and others spread the news among the Khitan Rebels and tell the Khitan Rebels that Yelu Yanxi died in the hands of the Jurchen five years ago! Now Yelu Dashi has chosen one and Yeluyan. People who looked almost exactly the same in Xi’s appearance pretended to be the emperor of Liao and wanted to take over the rebel army and let the rebel army be the running dog slaves of the Jurchens! We spread the news. After the arrival of Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi, the Khitans in the rebel army were predominant. Naturally won't believe them!" said the officer.

"Good!" Zhao Chen couldn't help but nodded.

In his heart, he praised the cleverness of the staff headquarters! After the General Staff Headquarters got the information from the north, more than a thousand people from the Operation Department came to so many conclusions after only one afternoon of analysis. It is really no small thing! If it is a generation of generals who are born in a thousand years or a century, it is possible to think of so many, and it is possible to come up with many ways to deal with it. However, these peerless generals are more of a flash of inspiration, and it is impossible to systematically and efficiently analyze intelligence like the staff headquarters. Then come up with effective response strategies in the shortest time, and not only once or twice, each time, the most effective analysis report can be produced in the shortest time.

"How is the specific situation in Liaodong now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, the Khitan Rebels are now everywhere in Liaodong. They have fought fiercely with the Jurchens several times, with more defeats and fewer victories! Although Wang Gui, Xiao Qi and others are commanding the rebels there, the rebels are not regular troops after all. It’s just a peasant with a weapon, so it’s not Wanyan Zonghan’s opponent! I am afraid that the number of the Liaodong Rebels has exceeded 1.2 million. The latest news is that they are fighting the Jurchen in the Huanglong Mansion area, and the Jurchens seem to retreat. Arrived near Huanglong Mansion." The officer said.

"Send someone to pass the news of the Battle of the North to Xingzhong Mansion, and ask Wu Jie about the battle plan to conquer Liaodong!" Zhao Chen said.

When his words were spoken, someone next to him immediately conveyed his order, while Zhao Chen and others were still here to listen to the report of the staff headquarters.

"Your Majesty, when will we start a war against Liaodong?" Yu Yunwen said.

"There are only 100,000 Jurchens in Liaodong, and there are not many soldiers and horses. We can definitely defeat them and regain Liaodong! Only after regaining Liaodong, we need to resettle the millions of hungry people in Liaodong! If there is no food to eat, they will also oppose us! Now, we have consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to transport materials to Shangjing and Zhongjing, we still have to wait a little longer!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right!" Qu Duan nodded, and said: "The General Staff Headquarters has done research, at least one or two months to wait! But we can't wait too long! If it's too long, Liaodong There are more and more hungry people who starve to death in the area. If they have been unable to take down Huanglong Mansion, Huining Mansion and other places, they are likely to go west to Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places. We cannot allow this to happen." Qu Duan Tao.

This night, they discussed for a long time. They stopped discussing the specific strategic and tactical issues of attacking Liaodong, mainly discussing how to arrange the people of Liaodong after the attack. This is the problem that needs to be solved most.

Xingzhong Mansion is an important city located between the northern grassland and Liaodong. Wu Jie now leads a heavy army to station here.

Originally, Wu Jie and others were stationed here, mainly to prevent Wanyan Zonghan from going from Liaodong to Zhongjing to rescue Jin Wushu, but the situation in Liaodong became more and more chaotic, and Wanyan Zonghan was unable to go to Zhongjing from beginning to end.

This time it was Kang An who came here to convey the news of the Battle of the North. At this time, Kang An and Wu Jie were sitting in the office of Xingzhong Mansion.

There was little snow outside, and there was extremely warmth in the mansion.

"General Wu, where are the Khitan Rebels now?" Kang An said.

"Half a day ago, I just got the news that they failed to attack Huanglong Mansion and have retreated to Changchun Prefecture! In addition, all the Jurchens in the southeast of Liaoning have retreated, and they have completely shrunk around the two cities of Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion!" Wu Jie said.

He was stationed in Xingzhong Mansion, and the information of Liaodong was first transmitted here, and then he was transmitted to Zhongjing, so he received the news much earlier.

Changchun Prefecture is not the later Changchun City, but a military prefecture in the Liao State, probably located more than a hundred miles north of the later Songyuan City.

"If you want to attack Huanglong Mansion, I'm afraid it will be very difficult?" Kang An said.

"This is natural, the city there is unusually tall, almost not under the Five Capitals! Wanyan Zonghan is also a generation of famous generals, he stayed there, the attack is more difficult! It is impossible to take down the Huanglong Mansion with the rebels, we must take action! "Wu Jie said.

Huanglong Mansion was very important in the Liao and Jin era. It was the first military town and political and economic center where Liaoning controlled the north of Liaodong! In ancient China, the "dragon" represented an extraordinary status. This is evident from the name of this city after the "Yellow Dragon"! Later generations of modern times have discovered the remains of 23 ancient cities in more than 500 miles around Huanglong Mansion, and Huanglong Mansion is clustered in the center by these ancient cities! In history, Yue Fei said that he "fought Huanglong directly", and his status can also be seen! When Wanyan Agu created a rebellion, at the beginning, it declared that it had been oppressed by the Liao government and had to rebel and expressed that it was still willing to submit to the Liao court. However, after the defeat of Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Aguda officially declared independence. It is also because of the important position of Huanglong Mansion.

"We attacked Huanglong Mansion hard, I'm afraid the damage is not small!" Kang An said.

"We need to draw Jin Bing out of Huanglong Mansion. I have been thinking about how to seduce Jin Bing these days. Today I finally have an idea." Wu Jie said.

"Oh? What do you think?" Kang An said.

"You still need to report to the head of the staff..." Wu Jie began to speak slowly.

Kang An nodded as he listened. He was originally Zhao Chen's guard commander, but in the past two years, he has been in charge of the Intelligence Department. Under the influence of the staff headquarters, he has also studied strategy, but now he mainly writes them down. , And then send someone back to the staff headquarters.
