Just when the Yun family army was developing vigorously, the court of the Dawu Dynasty in Bianliang, Tokyo, received a secret report from the north.
The Jurchens actually defeated a Khitan army of 700,000 with only 20,000 troops!
This was the Jurchens' second big victory against the Khitans.
The previous time, when the Jurchens first raised their troops, more than 3,000 people defeated the Khitan army of nearly 20,000.
These two great victories laid the foundation for the rise of the Jurchens in Liaodong, and also allowed the Dawu Dynasty to see the weakness of the Khitan people.
Ever since the son-in-law Shi Jingtang gave the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Khitans, the Han people had not ruled this area for nearly a hundred years.
The emperor of the Dawu Dynasty was ready to make a move. If he could take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun, he would leave his name in the history books and be praised throughout the ages!
The Khitan can't even defeat the barbarian Jurchens, which shows how weak it has become. If he sends a large army now to attack the Jurchens from the north and south, it will definitely be just around the corner to recapture the Sixteenth State of Yanyun!
The more I think about it, the more beautiful the emperor of the Great Wu Dynasty becomes. My ancestors were wearing yellow robes, and there is always a sense of unfairness in their position. If I can take back the Sixteen States of Yanyun that the Han people lost, who will dare to say that their throne is not right? orthodox!
Before Tong Guan could return to the court with his army from the Southern Expedition, he received an imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor, ordering Tong Guan to be the Marshal of the Northern Expedition and lead an army of 100,000 people to immediately expedition to the north and must recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!
After receiving the imperial edict, Tong Guan was so excited that he could hardly contain himself.
It’s not that this guy likes fighting, it’s mainly because the big hat the emperor gave him smells so good!
An emperor before the Dawu Dynasty once said that whoever can regain the sixteen states of Yanyun will be crowned king!
Under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the Dawu Dynasty to make anyone other than the royal family king. If someone with a different surname wanted to be crowned king, they could only take the path of regaining the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
Ever since the Jiangnan Rebels were put down, Tong Guan could no longer swell.
I was planning to immediately request an order to attack the Onezawa bandits entrenched in the Qilu area after returning to the court. Unexpectedly, His Majesty the wise emperor was actually planning to send him as king. What else could I say? Of course, we should go to the Northern Expedition first!
The fact that the Ohnozawa bandits have already been recruited seems to Tong Guan to be nothing more than an expedient measure by the imperial court.
It was a great shame and humiliation for him, Privy Tong, to suffer such a huge loss at the hands of Onezawa bandits. If he didn't get his revenge, he would never be willing to accept it in his life!
However, compared with being crowned king, revenge is nothing. It won’t be too late to deal with the Onozawa bandits after being crowned king!
Unfortunately, Tong Guan ignored one thing.
He is 10,000% willing to go to the Northern Expedition, but most of his officers and soldiers do not want to fight anymore.
Tong Guan's most capable main force now is the Western Army.
Xijun has been away from his hometown for too long and has long been looking forward to returning home.
After winning a great victory in the south of the Yangtze River and gaining so much wealth, I have long wanted to return home in glorious clothes. Now instead of being allowed to go back, I will continue to fight. Isn't this nonsense?
In the colorful world of Jiangnan, the Western Army has lost itself.
Tong Guan's three-guang policy of killing everyone, burning everyone, and robbing everyone, while massacring thousands of people, also caused a subversive change in the outlook of the Western Army officers and soldiers.
The current Western Army is no longer the battle-hardened division that just came off the battlefield in Western Xinjiang. It has become a beastly force that burns, kills, loots, and commits all kinds of evil.
Taking such an army with corrupt military discipline and no fighting spirit in the Northern Expedition, one can imagine what the outcome would be.
Sure enough, the 100,000 elite troops of the Great Wu Dynasty fought against the 10,000 stragglers left by the Khitan in the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, and were defeated, and they were defeated miserably!
Even novels don’t dare to write it like this, and even storytellers don’t dare to make it up like this.
But it really exists in the history books, and it is what happened in reality. Where can I explain it!
The Wu Dynasty army, which had driven millions of Jiangnan rebels to the sky and had no way to enter the ground, could not even defeat the 10,000 Khitan skirmishers who stayed behind in Yanyun. Moreover, they were completely defeated, and not even a third of them escaped. I really don’t know what kind of naughty operation this is!
However, this is not even more ridiculous, the more ridiculous and shameful thing is yet to come.
The Khitan skirmishers, who had never been defeated by the 100,000 elites of the Dawu Dynasty, were easily scared away by the Jurchens.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, which the emperor of the Wu Dynasty had dreamed of taking back, fell into the hands of the Jurchens almost without a fight.
However, this is not the most ridiculous thing.
The most ridiculous and shameful thing is that Privy Council Tong Da, who was beaten by the Khitans and could not be found in Beidu, then actually launched a series of tricks that could not be made up of fairy tales.
He actually used a large amount of gold and silver to buy the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun from the Jurchens, and then lied that it was the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun that he led his army to recover. He reported his victory to the Dawu Dynasty court and asked the Emperor of the Dawu Dynasty for a title. !
The emperor of the Dawu Dynasty was very happy when he heard that Tong Guan had regained the sixteen states of Yanyun and made himself the first emperor in the ages.
Although he didn't want to make Tong Guan, a dead eunuch, a prince, he finally felt that he couldn't keep his words and made Tong Guan a prince of Guangyang County.
It's a pity that Tong Guan's good days came to an end after only a few days as Prince Tong Guan.
The Jurchens saw the weakness of the Wu Dynasty through the Northern Expedition of the Wu Dynasty army.
Just like Niu Youde of the Dengzhou Navy said, after seeing clearly the weakness of the Wu Dynasty, the ambitious Jurchens betrayed their faith and unilaterally tore up the alliance. After wiping out most of the remaining Khitan forces, they openly began to lead the way. The army went south.
…
Although Yun Chao was mentally prepared, he still found it ridiculous.
The army of the Great Wu Dynasty was so bad that a hundred thousand elite troops could not even defeat the ten thousand Khitan skirmishers who were already declining.
If he just can't beat him and can hold on for a while longer, maybe Yunchao can do something else.
It's a pity that the speed of the defeat of one hundred thousand elites is simply unbelievable. Yun Chao can't even catch them by plane.
In Yun Chao's opinion, in just a blink of an eye, the army of the Great Wu Dynasty began their Northern Expedition.
In the blink of an eye, Dawu Dynasty's army was defeated.
In the blink of an eye, Tong Guan bought the sixteen states of Yanyun and made him a prince.
In the blink of an eye, the Jurchens betrayed their faith and crossed the Yellow River directly to the city of Bianliang!
…
"hiss……"
Looking at the battle reports sent by the scouts, Yun Chao couldn't help but take a breath.
The military of the Wu Dynasty is a good food, and the important ministers of the Wu Dynasty are a trash.
A good hand was beaten to pieces by these disgusting things.
Banana, you Bala, isn’t this giving me a problem?
People all over the world are living in dire straits...
Forget it, the world is too far away, let’s talk about that later.
Vast tracts of Chinese land are groaning under the iron hooves of the aliens.
Thousands of poor people are waiting eagerly for my brother's Yun family army.
What do you think of Brother Rang?
What do you think?
