Li Shi's luck is really bad.
During the roar of the camp, he was protected by his own soldiers and forced to break through, but there were too many rebels and too few soldiers, so he lost all his soldiers in the chaos and became a mere commander. He almost died in Killing Red. In the hands of the eye-catching soldiers.
At the critical moment, the Liberation Army came to kill him again, and he was in danger again.
In order to survive, he had to put on the clothes of an ordinary soldier and escape with Daliu. He tried to escape with the rebel army and went to Liaodong to find Wanyan Yong. However, he was so unlucky that he was captured by the Liberation Army. Captured.
Later, during the prisoner of war review, although Li Shi wiped his face with dirt, it was still found that he was older and did not look like a big-headed soldier.
The soldiers of the Liberation Army who examined him took him and washed his face. They found that although he was old, he was white and fat, and he didn't look like an ordinary person, so he went around looking for Jin Bing to identify him.
Finally he was recognized as Shangshu Zuo Pushe, uncle of the new emperor Wan Yanyong who had just ascended the throne, and Li Shi from Bohai.
Good guy, not only is he a high-ranking official like Shangshu Zuopushe, but he is also Wanyanyong’s uncle, so he is related by family ties!
Su Jue was finally a little happier now.
Although the emperor was very angry when he ran away, catching a prime minister could make up for some psychological losses, so he interrogated Li Shi personally.
Li Shi put on a stoic driving attitude at first and refused to cooperate with Su Jue's questions. He refused to answer no matter what he asked. He also scolded Su Jue and others as thieves. Sooner or later, Wan Yanyong would take care of them and punish them. Destroy nine tribes.
Su Jue was furious and refused to tolerate him, so he directly ordered him to be tortured.
He beat Li Shi severely with a leather whip until his skin and flesh were raw, and then poured salt water on him, making Li Shi unable to survive or die. Finally, he was tortured by castration.
After all, he grew up pampered and had never suffered such severe physical pain. He was older and lacked confidence. Li Shi's psychological defense quickly collapsed, and he finally relaxed and admitted his fear.
Su Jue sent a military doctor to treat him, apply medicine, bandage his wounds, and then he answered whatever he asked.
So Su Jue figured out the causes and consequences of the military operation launched by the Liaodong Jin Army, as well as the causes and consequences of Wanyan Yong's proclaimed emperor, learned about the situation and strength of the Liaodong Jin Army, and knew that Wuyan Puluhun was the leader of the Liaodong Jin Army. The sea-fixing needle.
Li Shi's tears and snot were all smeared on his face. While shaking, he explained what he knew, including Wan Yanyong.
Su Jue recorded all this, and then sent Li Shi himself and some higher-level prisoners of war to the direction of Zhongdu to present the prisoners to Su Yonglin and ask for his credit.
Su Jue and Wei Kexian then discussed for a while and decided to move forward, strive to capture the entire Liaodong Corridor, and burn the war to Liaodong so that the remnants of the Jin Kingdom would not be able to rest.
So Su Jue and Wei Kexian sent troops together. After capturing Zongzhou, they sent troops to Jinzhou, and then to Jianzhou, Lizhou, and Xingzhongfu, with their troops directed towards Yizhou.
It was not beyond the expectations of the two of them. After Wanyan Yong's defeat, the offensive of the Liberation Army could be said to be devastating. Wherever they went, the officials of the Kingdom of Jin were in disbelief. No one dared to resist——
Wanyanyong's failure had already destroyed the will of these state capitals to resist. They no longer dared to resist, and they did not believe that Wanyanyong could successfully resist the invasion of the Liberation Army.
So what are you waiting for? Why don't you just surrender?
After the Liberation Army entered Yiju, Su Jue and Wei Ke made a calculation and felt that the march was almost at its end. If they continued to march, the logistics would not be able to keep up. So they suspended the march and instead laid a solid foundation to capture several states. After reorganizing the territory, they sent troops to investigate in the direction of Liaoyang Mansion.
As the capital of the Jin Empire, Liaoyang Mansion was of great political significance. Su Jue really wanted to capture Liaoyang Mansion and use it as the military and political center of the Liberation Army in Liaodong, laying the foundation for future conquest and management of Liaodong.
After some investigation, Su Jue wrote a military report to Su Yonglin, believing that the Jin army's new defeat was not enough to resist the offensive of the Liberation Army. It was necessary to capture Liaoyang Mansion as soon as possible as the garrison and support point of the Liberation Army in Liaodong. It is also very meaningful for the subsequent Liaodong offensive.
Therefore, Su Jue requested assistance from Su Yonglin for military supplies and cavalry.
Su Jue sent people to Zhongdu twice. The first group of people to escort Li Shi and some prisoners of war arrived in Zhongdu on the tenth day of May, the third day after Su Yonglin announced that the Jin Empire had ceased to exist.
At that time, Su Yonglin was immersed in heavy government affairs. When he suddenly learned such good news, he was overjoyed.
So he met Li Shi in person and got the interrogation report written by Su Jue himself. He learned that on the seventh day of April, Wan Yanyong actually proclaimed himself emperor and talked about rebirth of the Jin Kingdom.
But at that time, the Kingdom of Jin had not yet been destroyed.
Isn't this funny?
Moreover, Wanyanyong's first battle after becoming emperor was defeated by Su Jue and Wei Kexian, so Su Yonglin lowered Wanyanyong's military level by one threat level, feeling that Wanyanyong's own military was not very good, and he would be defeated by losing troops. It will become even less of a real threat.
Give him another five years and he won't be able to get back on his feet.
The threat from Liaodong is no longer great. You can take a breather, sort out the land Yanyunhe has occupied, straighten out the administrative and military systems, and lay the foundation for the next step of building the country. Don't go to war for the time being. .
With this idea in mind, Su Yonglin sent all the worthless Li Shi and the group of senior prisoners to the Guidance Department and the Fuxing Association, and asked them to take them to parade around the streets, calling on the public to watch, and then publicly trial and execute them.
By the end of May, when Su Jue's request arrived in Zhongdu again, Su Yonglin had publicly tried and executed a total of 132 members of the Jin Kingdom's royal family and high-ranking officials, and built more than 600 new rural villages, with remarkable results.
The entire Yanyun area has been recovered except for Huanzhou and Shuozhou, which are still resisting pointlessly. The power of the Han people in the Central Plains has returned to the land of Yanyun again after more than two hundred years.
The balance of victory has fallen to the ground and can no longer be changed.
Here, Han Jinggui has made great achievements.
The Western Expeditionary Army he led also captured Datong Mansion in Xijing of the Jin Kingdom, which was Yunzhou among the sixteen states of Yanyun, three days before Su Yonglin captured Zhongdu.
Since Xiao Huaizhong, the last Xijing guard, died in battle, Wan Yanliang had not had time to appoint a new Xijing guard, so he asked Datong Prefect to temporarily handle Xijing stay. However, too many soldiers and horses were transferred to Xijing, and the military strength was seriously insufficient.
After Han Jinggui led the Tianxiong Army to attack Datong Prefecture, Datong Prefecture had insufficient resistance and persisted for a while, but was still defeated. Several surrounding states saw that there was no hope and the Liberation Army recognized it when they came over. Cowardly, they all surrendered.
That is to say, Huanzhou and Shuozhou, where Jurchen officials served as military envoys and defense envoys, did not give up and persisted in resisting. So Han Jinggui sent troops to surround Huanzhou and Shuozhou, cut off the communication between the two states, and sent surrender documents into the city. , calling on the soldiers in the city to rebel against their commanders and join the Liberation Army, so that they could have enough to eat.
The city defenses of the two states were looking unstable.
Thinking of this, Su Yonglin felt that if he could obtain a stable and long-term garrison place in Liaodong to operate military forces, enhance military radiation, and thus affect the situation in Liaodong as a whole, then it would undoubtedly make sense to do so.
Moreover, Liaoyang Prefecture is the Tokyo of the Jin Kingdom, which is of great political significance. Now that the Liberation Army has captured the Nanjing Zhongdu and Xijing of the Jin Kingdom, it is only one Tokyo short of achieving four kills and completing the all-round crushing of the Jin Kingdom. What a political sense?
So Su Yonglin thought about it and instructed Lin Jingchun, who had just arrived in Zhongdu to start working, to find a way to allocate military expenditures and provide military supplies and horses to support Su Jue in conquering Liaoyang Mansion.
At the same time, Su Yonglin also decided to split the Yanyun Corps into two and set up a separate Liaodong Corps to deal with the war in Liaodong. The Yanyun Corps was mainly responsible for the border defense and Great Wall defense in the Yanyun area, and served as the capital's garrison. .
During this period, as the main forces arrived in Yanyun, Su Yonglin began to plan for military reorganization, reorganizing the military establishments that were slightly chaotic due to the Jin Army's southern invasion and the Liberation Army's northern expedition.
You can also break up the hills of each army and restore them to their original state, so that the new recruits who join the Liberation Army can integrate into this large group more quickly.
Therefore, the reorganization of the army is imperative.
