Infinite war begins with Cao thief

Chapter 233 Making a feint to the east and attacking in the west

Xiao Chuxuan actually suggested that Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Dynasty give the entire east of Hulun Lake and even the entire central and eastern areas of Shangjing Road (now Mongolia and most of Outer Mongolia) to the Jin Kingdom, so as to strengthen the Jin Kingdom and give the Jin Kingdom strength and power. Yu fights.

You must know that although the current Jin Kingdom has gone through many years of war with the Liao Kingdom, it only occupies the area north of the Liao River and east of the Daxingan Mountains. Due to the terrain and the obstruction of Dong Huang's army, the Jin army was not able to penetrate deep into the area. Mongolian plateau.

However, Emperor Liao Tianzuo rejected Xiao Chuxuan's suggestion.

As an emperor, it is already very embarrassing to be beaten and thrown around, but he is also asked to take the initiative to cede territory and seek peace? dream!

If you conquer this piece of land, it will be yours. If you cannot conquer it, it will be your fault for not having the ability.

Xiao Chuxuan had no choice but to give up, and did not even dare to send someone to deliver the news to the Jin people, because he was the one who almost shot Wanyan Agu to death.

However, the news about the Jin people is not that closed.

Wanyan Gushen's mission, in addition to giving Dong Huang three Haidongqing, also uncovered certain information. One of his subordinates even got in touch with the Song Dynasty, and originally planned to join forces with the Song Dynasty to destroy Yu. It is a pity that because the Dayu Army completely controlled the coastlines of Liaodong and Goryeo, it was impossible for the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty to form another maritime alliance.

In the absence of foreign aid, and at the same time, due to terrain restrictions, it was very unfavorable to develop westward, the war between the Jin Kingdom and Dayu had actually been put on the agenda for a long time.

In fact, the previous cooperation between the Jin Kingdom and the Liao Kingdom to conquer Linhuang Mansion was an attempt. For the Jin people, if they captured Linhuang Mansion, they could continue to conquer the Liao Kingdom westward. However, the last failure had also forced the Jin Kingdom to Dead end.

In this war against the Jin Kingdom, Dong Huang did not go out personally. Instead, he set up the Marshal Zhengbei Mansion in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, and Jia Xu took the lead in the war against the Jin Dynasty.

Jin Guo actually had no choice.

The Jin Kingdom's military system was the Meng'an Muke system, but its political system was the Bojilie system. This was a crude tribal alliance system, somewhat similar to the Manchu Eight Banners' Council of Political Kings. The emperor did not have supreme power. The chiefs of each powerful tribe decided together.

When Wanyan Agu was invincible, Bojilie and the others naturally obeyed orders, but when the Jin Kingdom declined, it was hard to tell what these people were thinking.

No matter how hard Zhang Liao's troops fought in the south and west, they could not move like mountains. Grain and grass from Liaodong and the extremely exploited Goryeo, Yingzhou and other places were also continuously transported to the Liaoyang area of ​​​​Tokyo. Although places such as Goryeo and Yingzhou were starved to death, the Tokyo area had mountains of food and grass.

Compared with the Kingdom of Jin, Dayu had many more choices, and Dayu's preparations for war against the Kingdom of Jin never stopped.

Whether it is Meng An Mo Ke or Bo Ji Lie, the core is the military system of tribal alliances that expands and plunders externally to satisfy the appetites of the Jurchen tribes. But when it cannot plunder from the outside to meet internal needs, this system will hurt itself. .

This time, Dong Huang still used force to suppress others, and assembled a total of 1.2 million troops to launch an attack on the Jin Kingdom in three groups.

The main force was personally commanded by Jia Xu, and consisted of Zhang Liao's Army, Gao Shun's Army, Lejin's Army, Hua Xiong's Army, Dong Yue's Dong Cheng's Army, as well as Xu Chu, Fu Wei, Wei Yan, Pang De, Huo Jun, and Qiao Daoqing, with a total of 900,000 troops. Composed of millions of civilians and auxiliary soldiers.

Recently, the wealthy Dong Huang has unlocked a new way to play space troops and recruited a large number of cheap Black Mountain troops. These troops were obtained after annihilating Zhang Yan. The biggest advantage is that they are hardworking and hardworking, making them unable to keep up in frontal combat. The pace is higher than the original version, but the auxiliary soldiers who serve as food transport guards are more than enough. In addition, there were a large number of extremely hungry people from Korea and Japan among the auxiliary troops. Being able to eat a full meal was enough for them to burst out with astonishing courage.

The strategic goal of Jia Xu's main force is very simple. Directly attack Huanglong Mansion, Ningjiang City, and Daru Ancient City, advance to Wanyanbu's hometown (today's Harbin area), force the main force of the Jin Kingdom to fight decisively, and at the same time wipe out all Jin forces along the way.

The second route is commanded by Xu Huang and has a main force of 100,000. In addition, excluding the main force, there are 150,000 troops composed of Xixia surrender soldiers, Yingzhou northern samurai and war agents, and Goryeo transport troops. Servant army, they are mainly responsible for attacking Huanzhou, Luzhou, and Dingzhou along the Yalu River, and mopping up the Jurchen tribes along the way.

The nearby Jurchen tribe was subdued by the Wanyan tribe when Wanyan Agu defeated his grandfather Wanyan Shilu. They were very loyal to the Wanyan tribe. Many people joined the Jin army. Attacking them was considered to be a shake. Part of the Jin Army’s military spirit.

In many wars, fighting is only the most superficial thing. Many wars in other fields have already started before the fighting begins.

For example, Dayu widely publicized that this war was only against the Wanyan tribe and not against other Jurchens. Those who were righteous in each tribe would be incorporated into Dayu's army on the spot based on their strength and elite level, and would enjoy the same official treatment as Dayu and receive rewards; Those who can capture members of the Wanyan clan will be rewarded accordingly, and those who kill or capture Wanyan Agu's attacker will be named the Jurchen King.

The strategy of attacking the heart is a common strategy in war, but it is also a very useful strategy.

If the Jin Kingdom at this time cried for father and mother like the Liao Kingdom, which had repeatedly won battles in history, then these tribal leaders of the Jin Kingdom might not have other ideas, but the current situation is not friendly to the Jin Kingdom, especially In the three local wars with Xu Huang, Zhang Liao and Lu Yanlun, the Jin State did not get any benefits and even suffered heavy losses. This was a huge blow to the morale of the Jin people.

When the Jin people faced the Dayu army, they no longer had the invincible and invincible mentality they had when facing the Liao Kingdom.

Wanyan Aguda was keenly aware of this change in mentality.

He knew that with the prestige established by the Wanyan clan for generations, he was not worried that these tribes would betray him now, but he also knew very well that he needed a big victory to prove himself.

Wanyan Aguda led the main force to confront Dong Huang's army in Huanglong Mansion.

Both sides win or lose each other.

Wanyan Aguda even wanted to copy the example of the Battle of Guarding Dagang. However, the invincible Dayu army with high morale was not the Liao army, and Wanyan Aguda could not charge in at all.

Wanyan Aguda sent troops to attack Dong Huang's army's food road, but they were repulsed by Pang De and others.

But Wanyan Aguda was not discouraged. After many days of testing, he had discovered many problems with Dayu Army, but he was still not sure whether these problems were traps deliberately exposed by Dayu Army.

Just when Wanyan Aguda was about to test it again, Wanyanbu's hometown, on the Huntong River (Songhua River) near today's Harbin, a huge fleet flying the flag of the Dayu Army attacked the unprepared Wanyanbu and The disciples launched an attack.
