…

After seeing the weakness of Song State to the Jin State, Li Yan couldn't help but shake his head and said to himself: "How can we avoid the shame of Jingkang?" At the same time, he felt that his days of returning should not be too far away.

The reason why Li Yan stayed in Jizhou City was not to see the jokes of the State of Song, but to be able to transport all the Yan people who were following him away. In addition, he was also planning how to solve the problem of Goryeo and Taifeng in one fell swoop.

The State of Song did not urge Li Yan again.

Li Yan has given all the entire Yundi land and most of Yandi land, including Yanjing, to the State of Song. It is impossible to occupy Jizhou and not give it to Song.

This is the consensus view of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, just as Chen Zuotuan expected, because Li Yan gave Yan Yun to the State of Song, avoiding the killing of the Han people, Li Yan's prestige among the Han people reached an unprecedented height. Almost all the Han people praised Li Yan's noble character, and many literati even praised Li Yan with poems and songs.

Here we have to say that the reason why Li Yan made Yan Yun spread so quickly was that Zhao Ji and his ministers deliberately promoted it. Zhao Ji and his ministers praised Li Yan as a Han man who was very knowledgeable about justice, trying to use this righteousness and morality to bind Li Yan and prevent Li Yan from invading the border of the Song State.

Li Yan ignored these small actions made by Zhao Ji and his ministers, because, in addition to preparing to destroy Goryeo and Taifeng in one fell swoop, Li Yan was also preparing to do something big.

At the end of March, Hu Yanqing represented the Liangshan River and handed over Jizhou City to the Song State. Then Li Yan led Jie Fanjun, Wang Yanjun, Yue Feijun, Liu Minjun, Li Fengjun and civilians composed of 50,000 reserves to the Sun Fleet.

Soon, the fleet left Jizhou Port without setting.

but

The fleet of sun-distanced fleet did not sail to the peninsula, but quietly sailed to the Liaodong Peninsula.

...

On the "Liangshanbo".

Li Yan asked Hu Yanqing: "Are you sure to take down the port in Dalian Bay in one fell swoop?"

Hu Yanqing said confidently: "Our amphibious army has not been trained in vain for many years."

After hesitating for a moment, Hu Yanqing said, "King... Can you stop teaching Wei ministers to diplomacy in the future? Wei ministers like to lead troops."

Li Yan smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you can take over the port in Dalian Bay this time, I will allow you to form an amphibious army with five battalions. You can choose all the generals, soldiers, and ships."

In the past, Li Yan had no diplomatic talents, so he transferred Hu Yanqing to communicate with foreign affairs. Now Li Yan has obtained most of the talents in the Liao Kingdom, so he does not lack diplomatic talents. For example, Wang Jieru, Xiao Rong, Han Fang, Zhang Yan, and Zhang can communicate with foreign affairs.

Of course, these people are still a little worse than Hu Yanqing, Ma Kuo, and Zhao Liangsi, but it doesn’t matter, you can take it slowly.

Hu Yanqing soon led the amphibious army to the port in Dalian Bay.

In just half a day, Hu Yanqing sent someone to send back a good news that they had occupied the port in Dalian Bay.

After receiving this news, Li Yan couldn't help but clench his fists, then gritted his teeth and said, "The opportunity to take revenge is here!"

Li Yan immediately ordered: "Go to the port in Dalian Bay at full speed!"

The next day before dawn, the fleet arrived at the port in Dalian Bay before the sun set.

Because this was an unfamiliar small port, Li Jun ordered the fleet to dock out of caution.

Because Jizhou Port is not far from the port in Dalian Bay, there are very few voyage reductions this time.

Soldiers are very fast!

As soon as he got off the ship, Li Yan appointed Wu Jie as the commander-in-chief of the Left Army, and led his troops and Li Qing's troops to Su, traveled to Shunhua, Desheng, Xin'an, Jian'an, Chenzhou, and Yanyuan, and then attacked Liaoyang Prefecture, and then appointed Yue Fei as the commander-in-chief of the Right Army. He brought his troops and Liu Min's troops to Su, traveled to Pingnan, Zhenhai, Huinong, Muzhou, came to Yuan, Kaiyuan, and then attacked Liaoyang Prefecture.

Li Yan personally led Jie Fanjun and Wang Yanjun to be the rear armies of the two armies.

The Jin army's troops were already short of strength.

What's more, the Jin army mobilized another 150,000 troops to threaten Yan Yun.

The most important thing is that the Jin Kingdom would never have thought that when the three kingdoms of Goryeo, Taifeng, and Japan attacked Li Yan's hometown, Li Yan would also attack the Jin Kingdom's accompanying capital.

Therefore, Wu Jie and Yue Fei were in a state of unstoppable force. One took only five days and the other took only six days to attack Liaoyang Prefecture.

The defenders in Liaoyang Prefecture lasted for only three days before they were captured by Wu Jie and Yue Fei.

At this time, the Jin army hoarded at Songting Pass and Yu Pass received news that someone had attacked Liaoyang Prefecture.

Li Yan then came to Liaoyang Prefecture and appointed Wu Jie as the Liaoyang Jiedushi, fully responsible for the defense of the Liaodong Peninsula.

After Wu Jie received the order, he ordered Wang Yan's army to be stationed in Donglianghe, and then personally led the headquarters and Li Feng's army to be stationed in Liaohe. Li Yan led the Liaoyang Prefecture where Jiefan's army was stationed, acting as Wu Jie's reserve and preparing to fight the Jin army.

Li Yan seized the Liaodong Peninsula, of course, not just because he wanted to revenge on Wanyan Aguda.

There is Anshan iron ore on the Liaodong Peninsula, which is rich in resources. Together with Benxi iron ore, the reserves exceed 10 billion tons.

Li Yan used to practice steel, because there was no iron ore, so Li Yan's professionalism did not have the opportunity to perform.

This time, after occupying the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Yan's profession will finally come in handy. By then, selling iron alone will be enough for Li Yan to hang the army.

In addition to the Anshan iron ore on the Liaodong Peninsula, Li Yan occupied the Liaodong Peninsula with another more important reason. Li Yan was preparing to use the Liaodong Peninsula as the rear and counterattack Goryeo.

According to the investigation by the Military Intelligence Department, Goryeo dispatched a total of more than 200,000 troops to attack Lelang County and Zhenfan County this time.

There is only less than half of Goryeo's territory now, and it is not Goryeo, which could support an army of 300,000 in its heyday.

Li Yan and others boldly speculated that Goryeo now has only an army of 250,000 at most.

If this is true, then there will be less than 50,000 troops in the northwest of Goryeo. It can be said that it will be too empty and too empty.

In this case, if Li Yan sent a side army to go south from the Liaodong Peninsula and attack Huanglong, he would likely conquer the Xijing of Goryeo in one fell swoop and end the battle directly!

This is the main reason why Li Yan conquered the Liaodong Peninsula.

Whether this strategy can be successful depends mainly on the speed of the partial teacher.

If the speed of the partial division is not fast enough, Li Yan will have less than 70,000 troops on the Liaodong Peninsula, and face the 150,000 Jin army, there will definitely be a hardship.

On the contrary, if the partial division could quickly attack the Xijing of Goryeo and end the war in Li Yan's hometown, how could Li Yan, who had an army of more than 400,000, be afraid of the Jin army?

Therefore, shortly after taking down Liaoyang Prefecture, Li Yan ordered Yue Fei, Liu Min and Hu Yanqing to quickly consolidate the army, and then led the civilians composed of 30,000 reserves to escort sufficient weapons and materials to quickly go south and attack Huanglong...
