After a major defeat, Yi Lawo'o lost almost all his family assets.
Soldiers and horses, cities, population, concubines, property, status.
All gone.
Even the imperial utensils he prepared for himself were all captured by the Jin army, and nothing was retained.
The richness of the seizure made Wuyan Puluhun very happy. The relevant items were packed up by Wuyan Puluhun and transported back to China respectfully, along with the family members and concubines who had moved to their homes, as well as some high-status senior prisoners. Give them all to Emperor Wan Yanliang.
Even if the other party is just an arrogant local emperor, he is still an emperor after all. This kind of thing that symbolizes imperial power is obviously something that ministers cannot touch.
It must be handed over to Wanyanliang and let Wanyanliang handle it, so that Wuyan Puluhun can wait for the reward with peace of mind.
Speaking of which, Wuyan Puluhun was quite happy. It was originally just a simple counterinsurgency, but now it has become the destruction of the country.
This is probably the highest nominal military achievement after the destruction of Liao Dynasty, right?
After the First World War, the Liao Kingdom was basically destroyed and its military strength was reduced to ten percent. It could no longer compete with the Jin Army. However, the battle was not over because Yi Lawo'o was not caught and he was still alive.
As long as he was alive, he had the possibility of continuing to rally his old troops to fight against the Jin. Moreover, the Jin army failed to capture or kill all the Liao soldiers, and a considerable number of them fled without a trace.
It is also very likely that these people will be moved to the nest and collected to make a comeback.
So when Wuyan Puluhun was a little slack and didn't want to continue doing anything, Wanyanyong gave him advice, hoping that he would not stop pursuing Yi La Wo Wo for a moment.
Until he was caught and sent to the capital to be killed by the emperor himself.
"The main culprit is the assassination of Wo'an. He holds the title of emperor. If we catch him and offer him to His Majesty, does the old general still need to worry about his death?"
This was indeed reasonable, so Wuyan Puluhun allocated three thousand light cavalry to Wanyanyong and ordered him to continue to pursue Yilawo'o and never let Yilawo'e escape.
But no matter what, the main force of the Liao army has been destroyed since then, and even if there are wars in the future, they will only be sporadic security wars.
So after the news came back to Zhongdu, Wan Yanliang was overjoyed. His past decadence was gone, and his heart was filled with the joy of victory.
He personally supervised and arranged the family members of the captured Liao officials and Liao generals to be together. He first killed all the men, then the old and the weak, leaving only young and strong women, and selected the most beautiful ones. Laundry house and sell the rest on the spot.
After dealing with the entire high-level leadership of the Liao Kingdom, Wan Yanliang thought that the situation had stabilized, so he came up with a bold idea.
He ordered the Liaodong army to gather in Zhongdu as soon as possible, and then prepared to order the troops that could be mobilized to quickly attack Hebei.
"Attack on Hebei?"
Heshi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen looked at each other and were shocked. They didn't know what the emperor meant.
Why is it suddenly necessary to attack Hebei?
Don't you want to wait until the Liaodong rebellion is completely subdued?
Tu Shanzhen spoke quickly.
"Your Majesty, although Liaodong has been victorious, the suppression of the rebellion has not yet ended, and the leader of the bandits has not been caught yet. Your Majesty is raising troops to march south at this time. Isn't it a two-front battle?"
Wan Yanliang shook his head repeatedly.
"The Khitan thieves are no longer a threat and can no longer threaten our country. The sporadic small quarrels that followed can no longer be considered a two-front war. Now the most serious problem for our country is the Han rebels. It is time to send troops to the south! "
Heshi Lieliangbi was very anxious.
"But if we are about to march south now, there are still a lot of preparations that have not been made. In addition to the 120,000 soldiers, the total number of soldiers and civilians included in this expedition is more than 400,000. In addition to the current preparations, at least It will take a month to prepare the army to attack, so now..."
"There is no need for so many. The large forces can be prepared. The vanguard must attack. The Han navy is plundering everywhere and causing great harm. I thought about it. It will take a long time to rebuild the navy. If we want to contain the navy, we must take the initiative to attack. is the most suitable!
At present, the rivers in the north are not frozen yet and can be used. Grain transport ships can go south along the Hutuo River from Baoding to the river, which will alleviate the logistical difficulties. Don't you always complain about the logistical difficulties? Waiting until winter comes and the river freezes, that will be the most difficult thing, right? "
Wan Yanliang interrupted He Shi Lieliangbi's words with a wave of his hand: "Go and make arrangements immediately. The vanguard army must attack quickly and launch a counterattack. It must pin down the Han rebels on land and prevent their naval forces from attacking. Otherwise, we will never have peace. !
After arranging for the vanguard to attack, the main force must also prepare quickly. All the food and logistics have been arranged for me. Within a month of the vanguard's attack, the main force must attack. If it can't be done well, you should stop taking the position in the Privy Council! "
Wanyan Liangqiangang is arbitrary and aggressive.
Heshi Lieliangbi and Tu Shanzhen had no choice at all, and Wan Yanliang's words could not be said to be wrong.
First of all, attacking now can indeed take advantage of the direction of the northern rivers. Using water transportation to transport food can greatly reduce the logistical pressure and avoid the large manpower and material costs caused by land transportation.
At least it was not difficult to support a vanguard army with food and fodder.
If it is delayed until winter and the rivers in the north are basically frozen, then the logistics will have to be transported by land. By then, the difficulty of maintaining the logistics of the army will increase sharply.
If we can create a situation at this time and turn Hejian Mansion into a good base for advancement, it would be a very good tactic.
Moreover, the navy of the Liberation Army attacked and landed everywhere, causing a huge blow to the coastal areas of the Jin Kingdom. If it cannot be contained, the situation will be very serious.
Taking the initiative on land will also put great pressure on the Liberation Army, making them dare not send naval forces to attack from all sides to disrupt the Jin Kingdom's rear.
But all this will be based on a premise.
This hasty vanguard army could really achieve results, forcing the Liberation Army to shift all its attention to land rather than sea.
"Your Majesty, when Wanyan Alin marched south with 20,000 cavalry and achieved initial results, he was defeated by the bandit leader Su Yonglin and died in defeat. The bandit army now must be stronger than it was then. You also said that if our army If we cannot press forward with our main force at one go, we are likely to lose."
When Heshi Lieliangbi said this, he did not continue.
Wan Yanliang was silent for a moment.
He knew what Heshi Lieliangbi said was right.
At the beginning, Wanyan Ali led an army of 20,000 people to march south. He thought he could win, but in the end Wanyan Ali was defeated and died. This is enough to prove that the Liberation Army has strong combat effectiveness.
To this day, the Liberation Army is very powerful. Whether it is the offensive advantage against the Jin Army on the battlefield of Xiongzhou Bazhou or the absolute advantage at sea, it is enough to reflect the extraordinary power of this army.
They must be stronger now than before, and if they cannot attack the Liberation Army with absolute main force advantage, the result will most likely be bad.
It cannot be said that it will definitely fail, but there is a high probability that it is not a situation that I want to see.
But what Wan Yanliang knew better was that he had no more choices.
He couldn't wait any longer.
He must assume an offensive posture and make the Liberation Army restrain a little, otherwise the domestic political and economic pressure will crush him.
These days, the Liberation Army has been attacking everywhere, causing huge losses to the Kingdom of Jin and posing a huge threat to his prestige and rule.
He had to go to war against the Liberation Army, and while showing his attitude, he also had to divert some of the conflicts so that the pressure on him would not be so great.
At least let him catch his breath.
The Khitans were defeated, but the losses caused by the Han were so great that the Jurchen ruling class could not bear it, and they had to start a war immediately.
Can't wait any longer.
