Chapter 338 Take Yue Fei to the Northern Expedition
The King of Zhongshan, who returned in triumphantly, then received news from Zhe Keqiu. After learning that Hebule was almost wiped out, Anbahai immediately chose to retreat...
He ran very straightforwardly.
They didn't even leave too much time to chase and kill for the Zheyang family.
"Zhe Keqiu and Yang Zongmin chased for a day, but the harvest was not much. The Mongols escaped very quickly. The two families beheaded less than a thousand, but they seized a large number of war horses and livestock. Because the livestock was slow, the Mongols basically discarded them. It is said that the cows alone cost more than 5,000. As for the news about Guo Qizhong's place, he had already gone to Baishuilu to wait. This guy has become bigger in recent years. Beware of his ideas. No one can care about his place."
Xiao Tabuyan said.
Guo Qizhong is currently a member of Liao. Emperor Daliao appointed him as the Prince of Shuofang, the Southwest Road Recruitment Envoy, and the governor of the Tiande Army.
In fact, it has no jurisdiction over him at all.
Of course, the current Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty had no jurisdiction over any of his territory. The only job he and his court were to have fun with Kawang Yue’s loan in Yanshan City. Because there was really no mortgage, they had already started to use territory as collateral, that is, to mortgage his territory to the bank. Once he did not repay the loan, these territories were the bank...
Or Wang Yue’s.
This is easy to operate. The boss of ZuoShou Bank, Da Song Zhongshan Wang, took the collateral and sold it directly to ZuoShou Mingwang.
In this way, the Emperor of the Great Liao and his ministers lived a comfortable life. After all, some of them could be used as mortgage. The current Great Liao is still a huge empire, from east to west and from south to north, and from south to north, which are still from the Great Liao.
It's just not under the emperor's jurisdiction.
For example, when recruiting envoys from the Northwest Road, Ning Yelu Dashi was managing the vast territory from the Mongolian Plateau to the Altai Mountains, and even to the Western Regions.
Needless to say, the Southwest Road in the north and south of Yinshan Mountain recruits Guo Qizhong.
The Liaoxi Corridor was Zhang Jinzhong, the governor of Guide Army. In fact, it was Chizhanhui. In order to hold Wang Yue's thighs, he no longer used his Jurchen name. He originally had the Han surname Zhang, and Jinzhong was given the name of the Emperor of the Great Liao. As for the north of Lianshan, the marshal of Shangjing, the Privy Councilor, and the Prince of Changli, Han Qingmin, this is considered the number one important minister of the Great Liao. There are all the loyal ministers and righteous men who are still fighting to revive the Great Liao. Their goal is to recover Shangjing.
Although now they are actually being besieged by Jianhan.
But their ideals are still very large.
It was a Han man who led the Khitan to fight bloody battles to revive the Liao Dynasty. This style was somewhat strange.
As for Guo Qizhong...
This guy is indeed the king of Yinshan, with his sphere of influence from Yuanyangpo to Wuliangsuhai. However, the core control area is still the rich plain from Hohhot to Wuliangsuhai. His subordinates even the Han farmers and the surrendered herdsmen were also a vassal who controlled 30,000 yuan. Before, there were white Tatars competing with him from time to time for territory. If the white Tatars were destroyed, the north and south of Yinshan would be his Guo family.
"No need to worry about him, he will only be the King of Hetao if he develops."
Wang Yue said.
Indeed, Guo Qizhong did not threaten.
Wang Yue was not prepared to deal with him because he had a good ancestor. His ancestor was Guo Ziyi and did not stop his family from surrendering to the Khitan and then surrendering to the Jurchens in the future. However, his conditions were limited, and he would only be a Hetao king. If he could develop Hetao, Wang Yue would not mind letting him be the Hetao king. Anyway, he would not have the courage to fight against the King of Zhongshan. If he could not immigrate to develop Hetao for a short time, it would be much better to let the Guo family control it than to leave it to nomads.
As for the future, it doesn't matter. It will treat the warlords of the Western Army as much as they treat him.
"King, the Four Ministries delegation has arrived!"
A maid comes in to report.
"Let's go and welcome the four civil representatives!"
Wang Yue stood up and said.
"Go to find your princess, I'm not a Song Dynasty native!"
Xiao Tabuyan said with a blank look on him.
Well, she shouldn't have come forward. She is the Princess of Ming and is not the wife of the Prince of Zhongshan of the Song Dynasty. This is the delegation of the Four People to welcome the Song Dynasty, so this must be followed by Princess Maode.
In front of Kaiyang Gate.
"Representative Yue, we're meeting again!"
Wang Yue looked at Yue Fei in front of him and said enthusiastically.
As for Princess Maode, who was dressed in court clothes, she stood gracefully and elegantly beside him, showing her princess style.
Yue Fei led the inspection team specially sent by the Four People's Congress to Yanshan Road to inspect the people's conditions. In fact, there is more than one such inspection team. After the Four People's Congress judged the great painters, there was no specific work. Their responsibilities were to supervise the emperor, and of course, they also included local officials appointed by the emperor. They must have been wandering around.
Once they find that local officials are corrupt and abused, they have the right to go directly to the palace to find the emperor and ask the emperor to send someone to investigate immediately.
It has made officials everywhere very upset.
Someone has started to give gifts to them and bribe them. This kind of thing is inevitable. Although the officials still despise these unruly people, after all, they also hold the power of supervision. As for the crimes of the representatives of the Four Civilians, this is indeed still under study. This involves a special legislative issue, or who will legislate, which involves a fundamental issue, that is, who has the legislative power of the Emperor and the Four Civilians Congress. This problem is a bit big, and we have to solve the war first.
"Congratulations to King Zhongshan for another great victory!"
Yue Fei said.
While speaking, he looked at the fully armed soldiers beside Wang Yue, and even his three good friends were inside.
At this time, Xu Qing was already the commander of the brigade, and even Wang Gui and Yao Zheng were already officers. At this moment, Yanshan was already full of troops. In addition to those on the southern line, the Changsheng Army also prevented the Jurchens from harassing the Goryeans from the sea with the Goryeo Navy. The remaining two cavalry troops and four infantry troops all gathered in Yanshan City. There was also the Yanwang Guard Army, which totaled a total of 100,000 troops, and are currently outside the Yanshan City, waiting to start their Northern Expedition.
These are all real elites.
The armored rate is 100%, the number of firearms exceeds one-third, and the cavalry accounts for more than half. The Yan King Guards are also cavalrymen, and the infantry army also has cavalry brigades. Even the real infantry are actually infantry riding in carriages, or to be precise, chariots and infantry. Two horses are pulling a special chariot, similar to the four-wheeled chariots in the Hus War. Infantry usually walks and takes turns to ride in cars when they are tired. When they need to, they all get on the car for a short-distance raid.
The mobility in mountainous areas is indeed worse.
But it is really useful to engage in field battles on the plains, especially in the face of cavalry attacks!
"It's just a killing of ten thousand barbarians. It's not a great victory. But the next step is to wipe out the Jurchens. That's a real great victory. I wonder if Representative Yue and you guys are interested in it?"
Wang Yue said with a smile.
"What does the king mean?"
A representative of the Four Minions said in surprise.
"Tomorrow, Wang will lead a large army to set off north. Are you willing to go north with me and see how my great Song Jianer killed the enemy?"
Wang Yue said.
Then he looked at Yue Fei.
Of course, I have to do this with Yue Fei to fight the Jurchens, but they are all old acquaintances of Yue Fei in history.
Jin Wushu is under Nianhan’s command!
"This, Yue needs to discuss with your representatives."
Yue Fei said quickly.
"What else are you discussing? The King of Zhongshan will surely win. We will have a good chance to see the King of Zhongshan's style of killing the enemy!"
The representative just now said.
"Yes, go together, go together!"
...
Those delegates supported it.
"Since that's the case, then I will follow the king and see the king's style and the soldiers!"
Yue Fei said.
Of course he wanted to go, but he didn't know what others meant. After all, this was a risk. Although Wang Yue was indeed invincible, there were 80,000 Jurchens there. Although only half of the genuine Jurchens, such a powerful legion also swept the outside world and even the Liao Kingdom was actually destroyed. Now that these people agree, he of course was very happy.
"Then we'll set off tomorrow."
Wang Yue said.
At this moment, a noise suddenly came from behind him. Many idle people who were originally watching the representatives of the Four People turned around and looked north. A large number of nomads dressed up were walking towards this side in a mess, and then an officer came over on horseback.
"King, hundreds of Xi people suddenly entered the city and were coming here."
He saluted and said.
"What are they doing?"
Wang Yue said.
"Return to the great king, because His Majesty the Great Xi Emperor passed away, he had no descendants, and the Xi people had no master. He wanted to ask the King of Yan to succeed to the throne as the adopted daughter of Emperor Da Xi, but the King of Yan said that he was a minister of the Song Dynasty and was not convenient for him to succeed to the throne. When these Xi people heard that the delegation of the Four Mins arrived, they wanted to ask the delegation of the Four Mins to report to the officials for them. The Xi people were willing to follow the emperor and demoted to King of Xi, and asked the King of Yan to take over the King of Xi as well."
The officer said.
"Dear delegates, can you see them?"
Wang Yue said to Yue Fei and others with a smile.
"Mr. Yue still doesn't understand?"
Yue Fei and others said in confusion.
They do lack understanding of these messy things.
"Actually it's very simple. The Emperor of Xi led his army to fight with our army this time, but he was attacked by the Mongols on the battlefield and died by arrows. He had no children to inherit the throne. He had only adopted daughters, His Highness, the King of Yan. These Xi people wanted to let the King of Yan succeed to the throne. But the King of Yan was a minister of our Song Dynasty, and Xi was a country that was parallel with the Song Dynasty. Of course, he could not be the Emperor of Xi. The people of Xi wanted to be a minister of the Song Dynasty from then on, and then regarded the King of Yan as the King of Xi, which solved this problem.
I think this is a good thing and should support it.”
Wang Yue said.
Yue Fei and the representatives looked at each other...
"Then invite them over!"
Chapter completed!
