Chapter 68 The War on the Western Front

An error occurred while processing s private files

The marching staff officer Yuanye reported on the plan for communication and intelligence collection.

The territory where the rebel army is currently stationed is like a crescent moon by the Liao Sea, about six or seven hundred miles long from north to south, and the road is difficult to walk. In order to facilitate the transmission of messages, the marching advised the addition of post stations. In the past, the Liao people built one for one station in 50 miles, and the wilderness was planned to be changed to one for one for twenty-five miles, so that the speed of message transmission would be faster.

Then came the matter of the scout army. This army was directly under the General General's Office. Although the number was small, it was of high rank. The General General was Zhu Xia and the Deputy General was Liu Zhicheng.

According to the plan of the wilderness, the scouts were divided into two parts, partly outside, and went to the Liao and Jin countries to investigate the news, partly inside, and monitor the generals and the offices of the army.

This is not a scout in the army. The scout in the army investigates military information during wartime, and the responsibilities of this scout army have been completely changed.

The scout army had been established in advance, Zhu Xia was responsible for external affairs, and Liu Zhicheng was responsible for internal affairs. The scouts who went to Liao and Jin countries to inquire about the news had already set off.

The marching Sima Chaiyun reported the plan for the reorganization of the army.

The Tiger and Lieutenant Army currently has five armies, fifteen generals, and 37,500 generals. No new military generals will be added.

The head coach of the Tiger Lie Army, Mao Jun, and the deputy head coach of the Tie Ying.

The entire reorganization of the resentment army was reorganized, with six generals and 15,000 people under the jurisdiction. In the Jinzhou War, the resentment army suffered too much loss, and those who turned against each other and fled were half of the losses.

The head coach of the resentful army, Dong Xiaochou, and the deputy coach Hu Jiayong.

The Black Mountain Army was reorganized, with two more generals, 10,000 people. The prisoners in the Jinzhou War were basically all given to the Black Mountain Army.

The head coach of the Black Mountain Army, Dong Zhongsun, and the deputy coach Gao Hao.

The Wu Yong Army was reorganized, with two generals and five thousand people. Zhang Guanyu's army had only more than three thousand people, but the General General's Office gave him the organization of two generals, and the insufficient troops were supplemented by local troops from some prefectures and counties.

The head coach of the Wu Yong Army, Zhang Guanyu, and the deputy commander Liu Yizhen.

The King of Hell Army, the Dragon Army, the Thunder Army, and the Yunshuo Army maintain the organization of the existing two generals and no longer add new troops.

The Yun Haijun was originally composed of Hou Ji's Yun team and Wu Chitian's Haijun. During the reorganization, Li Hu had solicited opinions from the two, intending to help Hou Ji rebuild the Feiyun Army. Of course, Hou Ji thought about it, but he was unwilling to give up the Yun team and the trapped Bohai Army brothers, so he refused to politely decline Li Hu's kindness and hoped to build the Feiyun Army when the time was right.

The two generals of Yun Haijun, with 5,000 people. Hou Gu and Wu Chitian figured out their own solutions. After all, they were naval troops, and soldiers must be familiar with the nature of water, and ordinary people could not do it.

The old camps of each army merged.

Old camp coach Luo Sinan and deputy coach Hong

The rebel army had a total of nine armies, thirty-seven generals, with a total strength of 92,500. Together with the Iron Guards of the General Commander's Mansion and the Guards of the Old Battalion, the total strength was close to 100,000.

Next, Chai Yun proposed a strategy for training and offensive defense. The terrain of the crescent moon where the rebel army is located is easy to defend but difficult to attack. There are the Daling River in the north, Yu Pass in the south, Heishan and Songling in the west. The sea is on the east. As long as the two wings of the crescent moon are guarded, the western Liaoning Corridor will be as stable as a rock.

Jinzhou is located in the center of the crescent moon.

With Jinzhou as the center, the defense of the rebel army was divided into two wings, north and south.

The northern wing started from Yizhou. The Third Army of Hulien stationed Yizhou as the first defense. The Heishan Army stationed Haibeizhou and Quyizhou as the second defense. The Fifth Army of Hulien stationed Jinzhou as the third defense.

The southern wing starts from Yu Pass. The Fourth Army of Hu Lie stationed in Yu Pass, and the resentful army stationed in Runzhou.

The other armies were concentrated in the camp of the rebel army in Jinzhou to respond to the north and south. Yunhai Army was stationed on Taohua Island. If the rebel army wants to survive and grow, it must fight and actively attack. Attack instead of defense.

Using offense instead of defense is the main defensive strategy of the Rebels in the future.

The rebel army had two targets, Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road.

Going south to attack Youyan is the ultimate goal of the rebel army. Judging from the current position of the rebel army, if you want to enter Nanjing Road, you must first capture Pingzhou Road. However, Nanjing Road is the capital of the Liao Kingdom, and it is stationed in heavy troops. It is too difficult to attack from a breakthrough point in Yuguan, so it is necessary to open a second battlefield, that is, Zhongjing Road, and attack Zhongjing. The purpose of attacking Zhongjing is to lure the enemy. It is to attract the main force of the Liao army to the Zhongjing area. Then it creates opportunities for the main force of the rebel army to enter Youyan.

Starting from this goal, the recent targets of the rebel army were Andezhou and Tanzhou in the northwest foothills of the Black Mountains.

Conquered Andzhou and Tanzhou. The rebel army not only broadened its living space, but also forced its troops into the Daling River and threatened the front lines of Lizhou, Jianzhou, Xingzhong Prefecture and Chuanzhou. Xingzhong Prefecture and Jianzhou are the last barriers on the southeastern road of Zhongjing. If the rebel army can break through this barrier, it can immediately threaten Zhongjing.

"After the Jinzhou War, the Liao army in Zhongjing Road's strength was reduced sharply, and it changed from attack to defense. At present, it can only defend Xingzhong Prefecture and Zhongjing, so..." Chai Yun pointed to Andezhou and Tanzhou on the map and said, "The General's Mansion plans to launch an attack in early April, first take down these two states, threaten Zhongjing Road, and then create a better situation for the rebels to deal with the Liao and Jin countries."

The coaches here all agreed to this plan, and Zhang Guanyu volunteered. Last time he returned without success in the battle against Lizhou. Lizhou and Tanzhou were dozens of miles away, and he could defeat Lizhou by capturing Tanzhou. This time, someone had weapons and a powerful rebel army was backing him. He said that he would get back this face no matter what.

Li Hu discussed with everyone and decided that Zhang Guanyu would lead the brave army to attack Tanzhou, and the resentful army would send two generals to support him. Ying Qin led the Yunshuo army to attack Andezhou, and the Huli Army would send one general to support him. After the two armies completed the reorganization, they immediately crossed the Heishan Mountain and launched an attack. At the end of March, Jinzhou, the General General's Mansion.

The commander of the Jin Dynasty's southern route, Wanyan Zongwang, wrote a letter to Li Hu. The peace talks between Liao and Jin Dynasty were basically over, and the Emperor of Liao agreed to all the conditions of the Jin Dynasty and enthroned the Jin master as the emperor.

In addition, after the end of the Jinzhou War, the Jin army launched an attack on Shangjing Road and occupied Longhua. Yelu Yuji led his army to support the north, and joined forces with the commander of the Northeast Road Yelu Mage to launch a counterattack on Longhua. The war is currently underway, and the troops in Zhongjing Road are empty. Zong Wang suggested that Li Hu launch an attack on Xingzhong Prefecture to threaten Zhongjing and prepare for the southward attack on Youyan.

What does Zong Wang mean? It’s very simple. You can’t be idle. The purpose of my helping you to go south is to continue to consume the Liao army. If you stay in Heishan and become a rustling country bumpkin, wouldn’t it be in vain?

However, Huang She believed that Zong Wang had the intention of temptation, because the situation in Liaodong was very obvious, and the Liao army could no longer fight with two enemies at the same time. For this reason, the Liao people must be pacified and drive the rebel army to deal with the Jurchens. Zong Wang was obviously a little worried, so he wanted to test it.

"This is an opportunity," Huang She said. "Attacking Xingzhong Prefecture requires a lot of military resources. We can use this as an excuse to make the Jurchens agree to us to go to the border to go back to the Yi. In addition, it is best to let the Tokyo city go to Tokyo to do Yi."

Hu Tu agrees very much. After all, Huiyi is a thing that is beneficial to both sides. In this situation, it can benefit each other. "We are not going to fight Caogu, and the Jurchens have no reason not to agree. You tell Zong Wang that the pirate Feng Juanyun and Liaohailong are now members of our rebel army. We have hundreds of sea ships in our hands. The sea route from Liaodong to Song Dynasty is already unobstructed. If they need to do Huiyi with Song Dynasty, our sea ships can provide transportation. If you have money, you can make money together."

Li Hu invited the secretary-general Ma Liang to write the article, and then several people revised it and explained the meaning they wanted to express clearly, and then rushed to Xianzhou.

Zongwang's commander's tent was placed in Xianzhou, about 300 miles from Jinzhou.

After the end of the Jinzhou War, the National Reunion Bojili Wanyan Gao had returned to Huanglong Mansion, and the entire southern route was under the charge of Wanyan Zongwang, so he could decide on the rebel army's request to open the market and land.

Soon, Zong Wang replied to Li Hu's request, and once again urged Li Hu to send troops. Because the Liao Dynasty's peace envoy had not arrived at Huanglong Mansion, the Jin army could still send troops to Sichuan Province to restrain it and help the rebel army attack Xingzhong Mansion.

Zong Wang was so enthusiastic that Li Hu was uneasy. After thinking about it, he felt that he was a sucker, a knife in the hands of the Jurchens, and in the end he fought for the Jurchens.

The purpose of the rebel army to attack Xingzhong Prefecture was to attract the main force of the Liao army to Zhongjing so that it could go south to attack Youyan. The Liao people had different ideas about this rebel army. They might think that the rebel army and the Jin people would work together to fight Zhongjing, and they would fight with all their strength. In this way, the battle in Xingzhong Prefecture was very fierce, and then the Jin people came to pick up the bargain again.

The more Li Hu thought about it, the more he became more and more confused. Since the rebel army broke through the south, the Jin people kept following behind to pick up cheap things, and each picking up one is accurate, and the benefits were all taken away by the Jin people.

"I will let you spit out the Jurchens one day, as long as you are raised by the bitch." Li Hu was indignant and ordered the Wu Yongjun and Yunshuojun to launch an attack.

The Wu Yong Army conquered Tanzhou and then attacked Lizhou. After the Yunshuo Army successfully conquered Andezhou, the troops forced Jianzhou to wait for the Wu Yong Army to come and join forces to attack together in order to cut off the connection between Xingzhong Prefecture and Zhongjing.

Li Hu was anxious to write that the commander of Yunshuo's army won Qin. Don't rush to attack Jianzhou. Stay in Andezhou first and see the reaction of the Liao army. If this battle is not good, the rebels are surrounded in Jianzhou, and the situation will take a sharp turn.

Sure enough, the Liao army in Zhongjing arrived quickly, and tens of thousands of troops came in a fierce battle.
