Chapter 857: The Royal Expedition (Part 2)
…
The emperor personally commanded the army!
When this word was spoken from Li Yan, it was immediately opposed by almost everyone.
In the eyes of many people, Dazhong is already unprecedentedly powerful, and there is no need to attack the bitter and cold places of the Mongolian Plateau and the Northeast Plain - what is the use of that kind of poor place?
Some visionary people, of course, realized that the only border troubles of Dazhong are the Dajin and Mongolian tribes in the Northeast. Taking advantage of Dazhong's unprecedented strength, these hidden dangers should be completely eliminated, but just send people to do these things, such as Liu Qi, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, and Li Yan, there is no need to go to the imperial commander in person!
There are also some people who dare not say anything openly, but secretly complain that Li Yan is very happy with merit, and even compared Li Yan with Emperor Yang of Sui.
But no matter how others object or look at it, Li Yan's decree was promulgated, and all the memorials of the censors were detained.
Fortunately—
Li Cun has been in Xining City and Jurass County for six or seven years in recent years, and has served as the prefect in Yanjing for less than two years. He has already initially achieved the ability to replace Li Yan.
In this case, if Li Yan really had something to do, Dazhong would not collapse.
Therefore, after the opposition was invalid, the imperial machine of Dazhong could only follow Li Yan's orders and rotate.
A few months later, a million elite army, five marshals and six generals were all concentrated near Liaoning City.
Li Yan also took the train to the palace in Liaoning City under the protection of the personal guards.
Although Li Yan did not appoint the Grand Marshal of the World in this battle, saying that he wanted to command the army in person, in fact, Li Yan appointed the Grand Marshal of the Army, Xu Guanzhong, and the deputy Marshal of the Army, namely Liu Qi. In addition, Li Yan accepted the appointment of the former Marshal Yang Yizhong, the left army, Yue Fei, the right army, Wu Jie, and the rear army, Han Shizhong.
To put it bluntly, although Li Yan said that he would be in charge of the battle in person, in fact, Xu Guanzhong and Liu Qi were commanders. The specific persons responsible for the war were Yang Yizhong, Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Xu Guanzhong, Zhang Xian, Wang Yan, Wu Lin, Guo Hao, Wang De, Li Yanxian and others. Li Yan was actually a nominee. It can even be said that Li Yan watched from a closer distance how the Dazhong army leveled the grassland and destroyed the Dajin and Mongolia tribes.
Dazhong is so mobilizing a large number of troops, who can believe that Dazhong is just here to attack Dajin?
In addition, Dazhong successively destroyed the Northern Liao, Western Xia, Western Regions and Tubo. All tribes wherever they went were broken up into small tribes with less than one hundred people, and forced them to move them so that they would no longer have a threat to Dazhong.
In this case, even the pig could think that the Dazhong, who mobilized the troops, must be preparing to destroy the Kingdom of the Great Jin, Tatar, Taichiwu, Meierqi, Naiman, Kelie, Wanggu tribes, and the Mengwu kingdom composed of two tribes, Niren and Dielekjin.
Therefore, no matter how great the hatred between the Dajin and the Mongolian tribes cannot coexist, they must unite this time. Even the Tatar tribe, which has always been very close to Dazhong, chose to unite with the Dajin and the Mongolian tribes this time. Dazhong is too domineering and needs to be demolished for those grassland tribes that surrender to Dazhong. Therefore, even if the Tatar tribe continues to move with Dazhong, there will be no good end. It is better to unite with the Dajin and the Mongolian tribes to see if they can be reborn under this encirclement and suppression.
When the Great Jin and Mongolian tribes are united, they must have a core. You must know that snakes cannot do without heads.
Therefore, after many quarrels, everyone pinched their noses and recommended Dajin as the core, and the Jin general Wanyan Wushu directed the battle.
After several tentative attacks, the war began.
Soon, the central part of the Dazhong Forehand Yang Yi army fought against Tatarta, Taichiwu tribe and the Wudala tribe of the Jin army on the Korqin prairie.
In this battle, it cannot be said that the coalition forces were not brave or desperate. After all, it was already the time for their life and death, but the weapons and equipment of both sides were too different. As a result, even though the coalition forces tried their best, they were still easily defeated. Yao Xing from the central Yang Yi led tens of thousands of cavalry to chase the coalition forces for one day and one night.
In this battle, the central army killed more than a dozen coalition soldiers and warriors.
This battle also allowed everyone in the coalition to see the gap between them and the central army.
If there is a choice, the Great Jin and Mongolian tribes do not want to continue to fight, because this undoubtedly hits the stone with eggs.
But the Central Army came to destroy them this time. If they did not continue to fight, they would have to let Dazhong slaughter.
Therefore, the coalition forces could only bite the bullet and continue to fight against the Central Army.
but--
After experiencing the defeat of Korqin Grassland, the coalition forces determined that they could not face the head-on decisiveness with the Central Army.
Therefore, Wanyan Wushu changed his tactics, focusing on guerrilla warfare, focusing on Dazhong's supply lines, and playing hide-and-seek with the central army on the vast grassland.
On the other hand, after the battle on the Korqin Grassland, the central army also understood the strength of the coalition forces. Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong and others suggested that they could attack separately and release the biggest advantage of the central army, that is, the number of troops completely.
Later, it was discovered that the coalition forces were fighting guerrillas with the Central Army. Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong and others offered another suggestion. While sending the army to continue to advance, the elite cavalry used the "circumcision and side attack" tactic to harass and attacked the rear of the Mongolian tribes, so that the Mongolian tribes could not fight with all their strength.
Soon, Yao Xing led tens of thousands of elite cavalry under the leadership of the locals to raid Kuolian Haizi, a base camp of the Tatar tribe (the Hulun Lake in later generations), and quickly occupied it. Then Yao Xing sent his deputy general to attack the fishing fishing Haizi (the Beier Lake in later generations), severely damaging the Tatar tribe. The key was to capture a large number of important personnel from the Tatar tribe, including the Khan of the Tatar tribe, and cut off the connection between the Tatar tribe and the coalition forces.
Then, Yao Xing quickly flew his troops south and attacked the pasture of Tatar'er's army, and eventually captured thousands of enemy soldiers alive and millions of livestock.
Not long after Yao Xing sent back the people and animals of the Tatar tribe, the Khan of the Tatar tribe who had already recognized the situation, ordered the warriors of the Tatar tribe to come and surrender.
A few days later, the warriors from the Tatar tribe broke away from the coalition forces and then came to Dazhong to join.
There is actually nothing that the people of the Tatar tribe can do to make this choice. Their foundation has been destroyed by Dazhong. If they do not vote for Dazhong, they will have to be slowly annexed by other tribes.
Dazhong has shown its powerful strength, which is simply unstoppable by the coalition forces of the Jin and Mongolian tribes. Therefore, Dazhong has a much greater chance of winning the final battle than the coalition forces.
So, it would be better to take this opportunity to vote in Dazhong, which will also reduce the battle and casualties.
Moreover, they had a good excuse, that is, the Khan made them surrender.
Instead of using the warriors of the Tatar tribe to let them turn the guns and continue fighting, the central army directly used thunder to break up the Tatar tribe and then moved them to various areas of Dazhong.
The Tatar tribe, which should have been very good in history, withdrew from the historical stage.
And this is just the beginning of the Jurchens and the Mongols withdrawing from the stage of history...
