Liaoyang Mansion was the military and political center of the Han people in eastern Liaoning for thousands of years from its founding to the end of the Tang Dynasty. During the transition between Qi and Tang Dynasty, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty took advantage of the chaos in the Central Plains and took the opportunity to capture the famous city in Liaodong, and it returned to the hands of the Han again more than a hundred years later. It's just that Yang Jiyuan originally thought there would be a fierce battle, but he didn't expect to take the city in such a short time. Thinking of the results achieved by Cao Rui and Ouyang Shan on the Western Front, and then looking at myself, I saw that there were almost no tough battles along the way, and I felt somewhat depressed.
But it's frustrating, but what needs to be done is still done. The first thing they did when entering the city was to seal the treasury and hunt down the Northern Liao dignitaries who could escape in the future. The first thing Yang Jiyuan did was to close the city gate tightly. According to Huang Qiong's imperial edict, he almost searched the entire small Liaoyang City, but failed to find the person imprisoned by Yelu Zongyuan. Prince Yelu Zongzhen. The only thing that was not found in the city was the British mansion that he had received a secret order not to allow any harassment and to protect.
Looking at this Ying Mansion, which almost occupies the entire Liaoyang Mansion, with 30% of the area being both rough and rough on the grassland and graceful in the Jiangnan style. Yang Jiyuan, who wholeheartedly believed that the deposed prince of Bei Liao was hiding in this mansion, wanted to order a search several times. But when he thought of the emperor's secret order specially given to him, he finally held back and never took action. He just ordered to mobilize a thousand troops and horses to surround the mansion. But if anyone in the house leaves the house, all persons, regardless of gender, age or child, will be locked up and taken away first.
Anyway, the emperor is heading here, traveling under the stars and under the stars. His secret decree is that he is not allowed to touch any plant or tree in the Ying Mansion, so let's wait until he comes. As for the Prince of Bei Liao, as long as he keeps strict surveillance, even if he really hides in this Ying Mansion, he will probably not be able to escape. Although on the second day after capturing Liaoyang Mansion, Yang Jiyuan received a message from the master of the Ying Mansion, passing through the mansion. But he didn't want to deal with these Northern Liao powerful men, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion, he simply ignored them.
And on the fifth day after Liaoyang Mansion changed hands, Huang Qiong and his party, who had been traveling all the way, finally arrived at Liaoyang Mansion. After entering the Liaoyang Mansion, Huang Qiong forcibly suppressed his desire to see the woman first, kicked Huang Ruifeng to the Ying Mansion to hire someone, and then moved into the Northern Liao Palace to handle government affairs first. Huang Qiong originally planned to repair it first. But that tough guy Yang Jiyuan insisted on reporting the matter first. Huang Qiong, who was really helpless by this stubborn guy, could only nod and agree to deal with his affairs first.
In fact, the reason why Yang Jiyuan strongly requested to meet you first was because he was worried that Yelu Zongzhen, who was most likely hiding in the Ying Mansion, would take the opportunity to slip away. He wanted to request an order to search the British mansion first. In the past few days, he severely tortured the Northern Liao officials captured in Liaoyang Mansion, but no one knew the true whereabouts of Yelu Zong. In Yang Jiyuan's opinion, the Prince of Northern Liao would never grow wings and fly out. The only possible hiding place now is the only place in Liaoyang Mansion that has not been searched. Another one is the next step.
After Goryeo learned that Da Qi's Northern Expedition, after several successive battles, and that Bei Liao was now completely defeated, they planned to take advantage of the situation. The army and horses of the entire country have been mobilized and are attacking the front lines of Baozhou, Xuanzhou and Dingzhou in the southeast of Liaoyang Prefecture. In Huanzhou in the north, Yanlin, the Bohai People's Congress of the Northern Liao Relic Army, rebelled. He gathered people from the surrounding Bohai Sea to raise troops and successively occupied Zhengzhou, Luzhou and Fengzhou around Huanzhou, and founded the country under the name Xingliao. Now all the surrounding Bohai people's state troops have been collected, with more than 50,000 troops, and they have threatened to restore the Bohai people's hometown.
After listening to Yang Jiyuan's report, Huang Qiong pondered for a long time before saying: "Don't worry about the arrest of the former prince of Northern Liao Dynasty. As for the next move of your troops, I think it is best to rescue Baozhou first. As for the Koreans, don't give them anything. Face. Relying on the strong to bully the weak and taking advantage of the opportunity, this is the nature of the Korean people. If we give up the three cities, the next step will be to ask for the lands on the east bank of the Yalu River. This nation puts money on their face and thinks that they They are the heirs of Goguryeo, and all the old lands of Goguryeo belong to them.”
"Sir, we need to reinforce Baozhou immediately. If the Koreans are shameless, you can directly destroy them too. There is no need for this country to exist at all. I didn't have the energy to worry about this small country before. You are all the way It has not gone through a war, but its combat power is still intact. Since the Koreans have come to their door, don't be polite. As for Dayanlin in the north, it is just a scabies problem. A few clowns want to take advantage of it If Bei Liao is destroyed and the territory is cut off for self-reliance, it depends on whether Da Qi will give him this opportunity."
Regarding Huang Qiong's decision, Yang Jiyuan was a little stunned. The Koreans were in Liaodong, while the rebellious Bohai people were in Huanzhou in the north. It's not too far from Liaoyang Mansion. Moreover, throughout the entire Northern Liao-Tokyo Road, from the south of Changchun Prefecture, there were Bohai Navy troops almost everywhere. The Liao Army in Tokyo had always been dominated by Bohai people before. Although there are no veteran generals among the Bohai people, there may be many who are good at fighting. In previous Northern Liao raids, a large number of Bohai people served as auxiliary troops or followed as infantry, and their overall combat strength was not weak.
In terms of strength, the rebellious Bohai people in the north are the real thorn in their side. Because almost every state capital in the entire Tokyo Road has a large number of Bohai people. If the Bohai people in Huanzhou rebelled and triggered a chain reaction of Bohai people in the entire Tokyo Road, it would probably take a lot of troops to suppress it. As for the Koreans who are attacking Baozhou, looking at their previous battles with the Northern Liao Dynasty, this is probably the case. Moreover, Baozhou is far in the southeast, still far away from Liaoyang Prefecture. Even if it is temporarily lost, it is insignificant to the overall situation.
What should be done now is to mobilize troops to suppress the rebellious Bohai people in the north. As for the Goryeo side, it is still too late to deal with it after taking care of Dayanlin. Why is it that the Lord in front of me does the opposite? Ignore the Bohai people who are really worried about the problem, but focus on the Korean people who are suffering from scabies? This is not customary. Yang Jiyuan hesitated for a long time before asking if he should deal with the Dayanlin rebels in the north first. Are you turning your back and going to deal with the Koreans in Baozhou?
In response to Yang Jiyuan's doubts, Huang Qiong smiled and said: "There is no need for us to take action in Dayanlin in the north. Someone will solve it for us. Do you really think that Yelu Zong has always been in Liaoyang Mansion? You are wrong. , I will tell you his whereabouts. When Yelu Zongyuan imprisoned him and proclaimed himself emperor, he indeed had the intention to kill his younger brother. But don’t look at Yelu Zongyuan, he is the prince of Northern Liao. But in this Liaoyang Mansion Among them, there are still people who are more powerful than him. Although that person will not confront him head-on."
"But there is no problem in rescuing a person from under his nose. We will use our sight to focus on Liaoyang Mansion and abolish Yelu Longxu after his death. He should have succeeded to the throne as the emperor's prince and established himself as the emperor. The emperor's Yelv Zong is willing to take it with him, so that Yelv Zong can really leave and go north quietly. At present, the prince of Bei Liao, probably under the cover of many caring people, escaped from Liaoyang Mansion before you encircled him, and has already headed north towards Bin. The government went straight away. That Yelu Zongyuan himself doesn’t have much power."
"Xiao Xiaoxian, who originally stayed in Tokyo and was the Prince Consort of the Northern Liao Dynasty, was the younger brother of Xiao Yujin, the imperial concubine of the Northern Liao Dynasty. He had only been in Liaoyang Mansion for a year. His brother-in-law and uncle had already become a third-year-old. He stayed in Tokyo in the year. His foundation was much deeper than his. If he hadn't brought two thousand Khitan troops and horses with him when he was in Liaoyang Mansion, and received Yelu Longxu's imperial edict to take charge of the Northern Liao army and horses in Liaoyang Mansion. Queen Yelu Longxu Zhenggong Brother Xiao Bodhisattva's family has suddenly given him strong support in recent years, but he probably doesn't have the strength."
"As for Yelu Zongzhen, why did he flee to the northernmost city of Shubin. It was because since he could no longer return to the desert, the Northern Liao Dynasty still had more than ten thousand troops and horses in Shubin. At the same time, he could recruit the Jurchen and Shiwei tribes there. The army and horses are making a final death struggle. Isn’t it already said? There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, and they are invincible. Otherwise, how can there be such a big Liaoyang city that cannot be found? Even that person will not be there Now that the overall situation is decided, I risk offending Da Qitian to protect a former prince."
"Although she won't add insult to injury, she will never take the risk. That woman is very cunning, and she cherishes her life very much. Why she rescued Yelu Zongzhen in the first place may not be because she wants to buy both sides. Her caravan, Traveling between the White Mountains, Black Waters, and Desert Grasslands. At this time, she has not yet figured out where the general trend will go. It has become her habit to bet on both sides. With her temperament, she will not bet easily. Yes, if that Yelu Zongzhen really escaped to Shubin Mansion."
"Dayanlin, which lies between Liaoyang Mansion, Linhuang Mansion, and Shuibin Mansion, became his first opponent when he wanted to restore his homeland. What's more, Shuibin Mansion is the hometown of Bohai. That Dayanlin Although Lin is talking about rebelling, as long as he is not stupid, he will not confront us head-on. More than 100,000 Liao troops have been wiped out, and just his tens of thousands of new troops, if he takes the initiative to attack us, wouldn't it be tantamount to actively seeking death? If he I really want to survive and avoid the sharp edge of our army. I will only gather troops and horses and move north after the next spring."
"After all, it is much easier to fight Yelv Zongzhen's lost dog than to face the front of my army directly. I really hope that Yelv Zongzhen can really raise some troops and horses in Shuibin Mansion. By then, there will be a good show. Look. Let’s deal with the annoying and disgusting Koryo people in the south first. Let them kill each other dog-eat-dog first. Once Koryo is dealt with, it will be too late to clean up the mess. Therefore, it seems that Dayan Lin is interested in Liaoyang. The threat to the government is great. But in fact, the threat is also the smallest."
"Koryo people, you don't seem to be a big threat, but their ambitions are not small. If they occupy the three states, they will seize Liaodong next. And with their urinary nature, occupying will be We will try our best not to leave. Now that we have conquered all the prefectures in Tokyo, this is our Daqi territory, and the people here are our Daqi people. Although our Daqi territory is large, not an inch is redundant. I am not willing to use my Daqi territory to feed a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves."
Huang Qiong's words made Yang Jiyuan stunned. Although he may have a bit of a temper, he is not a stupid person after all. As soon as Huang Qiong said this, he immediately understood the meaning of Huang Qiong's words. But when I thought about it, I suddenly remembered that I had searched through the entire Northern Liao Dynasty, as well as the corpses of the two Liao troops who had broken out of the encirclement, but could not find the imperial seal of the Northern Liao Dynasty, not even the treasure.
The only confession he received was when the Prince of Northern Liao came to Liaoyang Mansion to gather troops and horses on the order of Emperor Liao. The Liao Emperor was already seriously ill at the time, and knowing that he might not last long, the Liao Emperor specially handed over the imperial seal of Northern Liao to Yelu Zongzhen to bring it out, so as not to fall into the hands of the Qi army. By then, the Liao people would really have no hope of recovery. Thinking of this, Yang Jiyuan couldn't help but blurt out: "Your Majesty, if it is really as your Majesty said, then Yelu Zongzhen must have an expert around him."
