Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On this night, in the south of Liao Kingdom Imperial Palace in Zhongjing City, the place was brightly lit!

This is where the General Staff Headquarters following Zhao Chen is temporarily stationed. They are urgently studying the latest intelligence from the north.

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

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

"Won't the impact be too great? Why?" Zhao Chen said.

"The two largest forces in Liaodong now are the rebellious Khitan Rebel Army and the other is the Jurchen Rebel Army. Yelu Dashi will undoubtedly influence the Khitan Rebel Army, but the Khitan Rebel Army will never submit to the Jurchen Rebel Army, and they will still fight against the Jurchen Rebel Army! Therefore, there is only one reason for the rebellion, and that is that there is no food! If Yelu Dashi cannot solve the food problem, the Khitans will not follow Yelu Dashi! According to the information we obtained in Liaodong, the Jurchens themselves have insufficient food. It is impossible to feed more than a million rebels and Khitan people everywhere!" the officer said.

The current situation in Liaodong is like the situation of peasant uprisings in various places in the late Ming Dynasty! At the end of Ming Dynasty, there were wars all over the world, and the government of the Ming Dynasty 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 had no food in hand, and it was impossible for the imperial court to provide disaster relief! Coupled with the daily exploitation by the local governments, the rich and noble families were unwilling to take out their own food, and finally the world was in chaos. Even if the Ming Dynasty government had great abilities, it was impossible to put down the peasant uprising!

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

"According to the research of our General Staff Headquarters, after Yelu Dashi arrived in Liaodong, it is very likely to invite Yelu Yanxi. This Yelu Yanxi is the emperor of the Liao Kingdom and still has a high prestige among the Khitan people. This is a challenge for the Liaodong rebels. Threat." The officer continued.

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

"Yelu Yanxi is the king of subjugation. Although he has prestige, the people only fear him, not respect him! Your Majesty, all the leaders of the Khitan rebel army, including Yeluhong, Wang Gui, Xiao Qi, etc. It is impossible for our people, Yelu Yanxi, to win the leadership of the rebel army from them!" Yu Yunwen said.

"What good countermeasures does the General Staff Headquarters have?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, we can let Yeluhong, Wang Gui, Xiao Qi and others spread the news among the Khitan rebels, and tell the Khitan rebels that Yelu Yanxi died at the hands of the Jurchen five years ago! A person with almost the same appearance as Jubilee pretends to be the emperor of the Liao Kingdom, and wants to take over the rebel army and make the rebel army the Jurchens' lackey slaves! We spread the news. After the arrival of Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi, the Khitans in the rebel army had preconceptions. Of course you won't believe them!" said the officer.

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

In his heart, he was praising the clever strategy of the General Staff Headquarters! After the General Staff Headquarters got the intelligence from the north, more than a thousand people in the Operations Department came to so many conclusions after only one afternoon of analysis, which is really extraordinary! If it is a peerless general who comes out once in a millennium or a century, it is possible to think of so much, and it is possible to come up with many countermeasures, but these peerless generals are more of a flash of inspiration, and it is impossible to analyze information systematically and efficiently like the General Staff Headquarters. Then come up with effective coping strategies in the shortest time, and not just once or twice, each time you can come up with the most effective analysis report in the shortest time.

"What's the specific situation in Liaodong now?" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, there are now Khitan rebels everywhere in Liaodong. They have fought fiercely with the Jurchens several times, with more losses than victories! Although Wang Gui, Xiao Qi and others are there to command the rebels to fight, the rebels are not regular troops after all. They are just peasants with weapons, so they are not Wanyan Zonghan's opponent! The number of Liaodong rebels may have exceeded 1.2 million. The latest news is that they fought fiercely with the Jurchens in the Huanglong Mansion area, and the Jurchens seem to have retreated. Arrived near Huanglong Mansion." The officer said.

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

As he said his words, someone next to him immediately conveyed his order, while Zhao Chen and the others were still listening to the report from the General Staff Headquarters.

"Your Majesty, when are we going to launch a war against Liaodong?" Yu Yunwen said.

"There are only 100,000 Jurchens in Liaodong, and there are not many soldiers and horses. We will definitely be able to defeat them and recover Liaodong! But after recovering Liaodong, we need to resettle the millions of hungry people in Liaodong! If there is no food to eat, they will also oppose us! And Now, we have already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources to transport materials to Shangjing and Zhongjing, so 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 already done research, and we have to wait at least one or two months! But we can't wait too long! If it is too long, Liaodong There are more and more hungry people dying of starvation in the area, if they have not been able to capture Huanglong Mansion, Huining Mansion and other places, they are likely to go west to Shangjing, Zhongjing and other places, we cannot allow such things to happen." Qu Duan road.

That night, they discussed for a long time. They no longer discussed the specific strategy and tactics of attacking Liaodong, but mainly discussed how to resettle the people of Liaodong after they were captured there. This is the most important problem to be solved.

*** ***

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

Originally, Wu Jie and others were stationed here mainly to guard against Wanyan Zonghan 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 Northern War. At this time, Kang An and Wu Jie were sitting in the government office of Xingzhong Mansion.

It was snowing outside, but it was extremely warm in the mansion.

"General Wu, where are the Khitan rebels now?" Kang An asked.

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

He was stationed in Xingzhong Mansion, and the information about Liaodong was transmitted here first, and then he passed it to Zhongjing, so he got the news much earlier.

Changchun Prefecture is not the Changchun City of the later generations, but a military state of the Liao Kingdom, which is probably located more than a hundred miles north of the Songyuan City of the later generations.

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

"Naturally, the city there is extremely tall, almost not under the five capitals! Wanyan Zonghan is also a famous general of the generation. He guards there, and it is even more difficult to attack! It is impossible to take down Huanglong Mansion with the rebel army. We must take action! " Wu Jie said.

The status of Huanglong Mansion in the Liao and Jin Dynasties was very important. It was the military center and political and economic center where the Liao Kingdom controlled the north of Liaodong at the earliest! In ancient China, "dragon" represented extraordinary status, and this city is named after "Yellow Dragon". Later modern times have discovered the remains of 23 ancient cities in more than 500 miles around Huanglong Mansion, and Huanglong Mansion is surrounded by these ancient cities in the center! In history, Yue Fei said "go straight to Huanglong", which also shows his status! When Wanyan Aguda launched the rebellion, at the beginning, he claimed that he had been oppressed by the Liao government and had to rebel, expressing his willingness to submit to the Liao court. However, after taking down the Huanglong Mansion, Wanyan Aguda officially declared his independence. It is also because of the important position of Huanglong Mansion.

"If we forcefully attack Huanglong Mansion, I'm afraid the damage will not be small!" Kang An said.

"We need to lure Jin Bing out of Huanglong Mansion. These days I have been thinking about how to lure Jin Bing, and today I finally have an idea." Wu Jie said.

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

"It still needs to be reported to the General Staff Headquarters..." Wu Jie began to speak slowly.

Kang An nodded as he listened. He was originally the commander of Zhao Chen's bodyguards, but he has been in charge of the intelligence department for the past two years. Under the influence of the staff headquarters, he has also studied strategies to a certain extent, but now he mainly writes them down. , and then send someone back to the staff headquarters.
