Chapter 341 Wanyan Liang Can't Lose

Once the Khitan rebels occupy Liaoyang and Linhuang, they can really cut off the road from the center of the Jin Kingdom from Yanyun to the old nest in Liaodong, and break another arm of the Jin Kingdom.

If this group of thieves really want to achieve this strategic goal, isn't Jin Guo really dangerous?
Both arms are gone, bleeding profusely, and no one can stand it.

Not to mention that Liaodong is still the hometown of the Jin Kingdom, the "Land of Longxing", which cannot be lost no matter what.

Thinking of this possibility, Wanyanliang's face darkened immediately, and she gritted her teeth and said, "How are the old generals going to fight this battle?"

Wuyanpulu thought about it for a while, and then spoke slowly.

"If the old ministers are in command, they will not rush to attack, but will focus on defense, use both suppression and appeasement, and stabilize the situation. The key point at present is to stick to Linhuang and Liaoyang, so as not to make the two palaces lose, and call the Khitan bandit army. Intent to fail.

On this basis, the defense of Huining House was strengthened, so that the Khitan bandit army was confined between the three points of Linhuang House, Liaoyang House and Huining House, restricting their movements and trapping him here. "

Wan Yanliang nodded slowly.

"What the old general meant was that Linhuang House, Liaoyang House, and Huining House should be the focus of the army, so that the Khitan Bandit Army would be trapped here so that it could not be moved?"

"The more they move, the greater the damage, and the more manpower and material resources are gathered. Our army should focus on these three cities, implement the strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the fields, and transfer the people so that they cannot get troops and trap them. make it tired."

Uyanpuluhun explained his thoughts.

After Wanyan Liang listened, she was silent for a while, and then she was full of unwillingness and indignation.

"Has the Khitan Bandit Army reached the point where it cannot be destroyed in one battle?"

"..."

Wuyanpulu looked solemn and did not speak, but Wanyanliang understood what he meant.

"hateful!"

He roared angrily and slammed his fist on the table: "The southern expedition is imminent, these Khitan people are actually bad for me! If I don't kill them, how can I get rid of the hatred in my heart? I must kill them all. Kill him and get his head rolling! Let's see who dares to oppose me!"

Wanyanliang was full of anger, and Wuyanpuluhun lowered his head and said nothing, letting Wanyanliang finish venting his anger.

After scolding, Wanyanliang looked at Wuyanpuluhun.

"Old General, if I give you [-] soldiers and horses, will I be able to quell the Khitan rebels?"

Uyanpulu shook his head.

"Your Majesty, whether the Khitan rebels can be quelled depends not on the number of soldiers and horses, but in the length of time. If Your Majesty wants the old minister to quell the Khitan rebels within a month, unless there are [-] troops, the old minister will not be able to do it. If Your Majesty can give the old minister enough time, [-] troops, plus the local garrison, will be enough."

Wanyanliang frowned.

One hundred thousand?

If I give you an army of [-] people, I won't have to go south, just go east!
Wan Yanliang's total combat force mobilized to Zhongdu so far is only in the early 30s, including more than [-] soldiers and civilians. The number is actually quite limited.

Don't look at what he said about the army of millions, the army of millions, he knew exactly how much water was in it.

Losing the two populous areas of Hebei and Shandong, it is still difficult for Hedong and Guanzhong to protect themselves. How can he mobilize the troops from these two places to Zhongdu?

The army can only be mobilized from Yanyun, grassland and Liaodong, so the total number of combat soldiers mobilized at present is more than [-], and the rest are signed troops and civilians.

Therefore, Wuyan Puluhun wants to have [-] troops without even thinking about it. Of course, Wuyanpuluhun never expected to get so many troops. The words of this old minister are always very targeted.

What he means is that it doesn't matter if there are fewer soldiers, but you can't rush me.

You urge me, I can't fight, I don't go, you can decide.

Wuyan Puluhun fully absorbed the experience and lessons of Xiao Tulu, Gao Cunfu and Xiao Huaizhong, and blocked this opening from the very beginning, preventing Wanyan Liang from questioning him from this direction, and trying his best to keep himself safe. thing.

Seek the country first.

Wuyan Puluhun is no longer the hot-blooded stunner. During the long years and the ups and downs of the Huanhai Sea, he saw countless honorable officials from the royal family and relatives of the country for a while, and then the dead clan died. He learned a lot from it. .

He has evolved.

So Wan Yanliang was very upset.

The old man is prudent, he is really prudent, his words are not leaking, he even bargains with him before going to war, and does his own safety work to the extreme first, otherwise he will not go.

Wanyan Liang's teeth are itchy with such an angry attitude.

He really didn't want to use Wuyanpuluhun, and he didn't want to fight this battle to the end of the day, thus affecting the subsequent southern expedition.

Do we have to fight on two fronts until the end?
Fighting on two fronts is a big taboo in the military, and Yan Liang understands this without anyone saying it.

But now, he has no other more suitable candidates.

Others have limited abilities or sensitive identities. This is a battle that cannot be lost. Wanyanliang can't afford to lose, and the veteran can't win. Could it be Wanyan Yong?

Although Wanyanyong's performance is remarkable and his ability seems to be good, Wanyanliang still does not worry about him and is not going to give him more military power. Even if he can defend the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo, it is a great achievement for him, that's all. .

So Wanyanliang chose to compromise.

He promised that he would no longer ask Wuyan Puluhun about the time issue, but asked Wuyan Puluhun to limit the scope of the Khitan Uprising, and not allow them to continue to expand their momentum, and to control the battle rather than be controlled by it .

For this request, Uyanpuluhun accepted.

So he was quickly appointed as the recruiting envoy of the Northeast Road and the governor of Huining Prefecture. In this capacity, he led [-] troops to march into Liaodong, and controlled the troops and officials of the entire Liaodong theater. Follow his orders.

He became the de facto head of the Liaodong Theater Command and was solely responsible for the entire war against rebellion.

The soldiers were very fast, and Wanyanliang could not wait. After handing over so much power, Wanyanliang asked Wuyanpuluhun to set off as soon as possible, so at his urging, Wuyanpuluhun officially led the troops to attack on the ninth day of June.

On the way to attack, Wuyan Puluhun ordered deputy general Wugu Lun Suda to lead [-] troops to Linhuangfu urgently to assist the defenders of Linhuangfu to stabilize the defense of Linhuangfu.

He himself led the main force of [-] to the Liaoyang Mansion, preparing to join the Liaoyang defenders and fight a defensive counterattack together with the Liaoyang defenders, delaying the offensive footsteps of the Khitan Restoration Army.

In mid-June, Wuyanpu Luhun arrived at Liaoyang House in Tokyo, and joined Wanyan Yong, the de facto garrison of Tokyo.

Wanyanyong was still capable. Although he was unable to take the initiative to attack due to lack of troops, he still tried his best to assist Wuyanpuluhun to establish a military camp, achieved joint defense with the city, and curbed the offensive pace of the Khitan Restoration Army.

And almost at the same time, the army led by Wugu Lun Suda also arrived at Linhuang House, where they defeated the Khitan Restoration Army in Linhuang House, and joined the defenders of Linhuang House to strengthen their defenses.

After gaining a firm foothold in Liaoyang, Wuyan Puluhun immediately sent people to Huining to preside over the defense.

The Huining Prefecture area was originally an important assembly point for the mobilized troops before they arrived at Yanyun. With a considerable number of mobilized troops assembled, it was not easy to go out immediately, and it was still possible to rectify the local defense.

Wuyan Puluhun's order is to strictly guard the important areas around Huining Mansion, and move the people away from the battlefield, and implement the strategy of clearing the field.

At the same time, he warned local officials and generals not to worry about losses. Now that the losses are a little bigger, they can rely on the Khitan rebels to make up for them after the war.

But if these important places are lost now, the loss will not be a little bit, and their heads will no longer be able to stay on their necks.

So in this area, the Jin Army defense line with Huining, Linhuang and Liaoyang as fulcrums is about to be established.

For this trend, Saba and the main leaders of the Khitan Restoration Army did not realize it.

Because of the previous persistence of Linhuang Mansion and Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo and the lack of strength of the Khitan Restoration Army, its ability to attack fortifications has not improved. It is also because Wanyan Yong responded too quickly and strengthened the house in time, so that the Khitan Restoration Army could not seize this precious window. To capture Linhuang and Liaoyang.

They did not break through the restrictions and expand their forces during this chaotic period, completely subverting the Jin army's influence in Liaodong, so that after the Jin army reinforcements came, the attack became more difficult.

On the surface, the Khitan Restoration Army is still in an offensive situation, but the Jin Army has regained its footing, and the Khitan Restoration Army's strategic plan to seize Linhuang and Liaoyang is difficult to achieve.

The battlefield situation has undergone a subtle change.

The authorities did not notice this change in time.

Wanyanyong was just a little relieved by the arrival of Wuyan Puluhun, and Wuyanpuluhun was also relieved by the clinging of Liaoyang and Linhuang.

"Many thanks to the old general for coming to help, otherwise the Khitan bandit army would be unable to hold on to the city's siege by relying only on the Tokyo defenders."

Wanyan Yong took off the helmet on his head and expressed his gratitude to Wuyan Puluhun: "The old general is old and strong, and his prestige has not diminished in the past."

Uyanpulu smiled.

"I should feel fortunate. Under such a situation, I can rectify the army and stick to the city, and prevent the Khitan bandit army from taking advantage of the situation to break the city. Staying behind is the biggest contributor."

"There's nothing you can do, it's just difficult."

Wanyan Yong chuckled: "In normal times, this kind of thing wouldn't be my turn at all, but in the current situation, if I don't stand up, Tokyo will be really dangerous. No matter what, I'm staying in Tokyo."

It's not that Wuyan Puluhun had never heard of Wanyanyong's affairs, he knew something vaguely.

But even if you don't know, you should understand by looking at his royal family name, he is obviously a prisoner of Wanyanliang who is extremely restricted in politics.

But now, because of this unexpected unfortunate incident, he came to the front and mastered the defending army.

But Wuyan Puluhun is more willing to believe that Wanyan Yong is more willing to be a comfortable prisoner than a free man facing murderous intentions.
