In the sixth year of Shaoming Dynasty in the Zhou Dynasty, AD 951, on the third day of March, the ice and snow began to disappear.
Yan Jin set out from Taiyuan, led his own army, the Right Leopard Tao Guard, and the forbidden army Hanhai, Changguo and other towns to arrive at Liaoyang Prefecture with 10,000 infantry and cavalry.
He came to replace Murong Nobunaga as the Pingzhang of Andong Province. At the same time, the imperial court also established the Anbei Protectorate to manage the Jurchens, Shiwei and Linzhongye in the north of Huanglong Prefecture (Nong'an, Jilin, near Changchun). tribe of people.
At the same time, among the 120,000 grassland households, 10,000 Shiwei households on the east and west sides of the Xianbei Mountains also have to accept the management of the Anbei Protectorate.
Zhang Yan appointed Yan Jin as the Pingzhang of Andong Province, the defense envoy of Andong, and the general protector of Anbei. He was stationed in Liaoyang and took over all the duties of Murong Nobunaga in Andong.
Murong Nobunaga, with Zhang Yan's permission, continued to control the people and soldiers belonging to him through the system of Liaoyang County King's Overlord's Mansion.
Immediately set up an army camp to conquer Goryeo, and as the general manager of the camp, he was responsible for all affairs of the conquering Goryeo.
At the same time, in order to prevent an extreme situation, that is, if Yan Jin was deceived by his subordinates, or for some purpose, he set up logistical obstacles for the Goryeo expeditionary army, he did not relieve Cao Liulang and Cao Yanlu from being the governor of Andong Province. The duties of envoys and inspectors.
In this way, if there is any discord between Yan Jin and Murong Nobunaga, Cao Yanlu, as the Queen's biological brother and Murong Nobunaga's uncle, can mediate and even decide some matters alone to protect Murong Nobunaga.
Of course, the probability of such a thing happening should be infinitely close to zero, and Zhang Yan was just taking precautions.
As for Yan Jin's original posts in Hedong, they are basically unnecessary due to the establishment of 120,000 grassland households.
But for the sake of safety, Zhang Yan transferred Fu Yanqing from his position in Pingzhang, Hebei Province, to Hedong to do some basic defense.
As for Pingzhang of Hebei Province, Zhe Congyuan was in charge. After An Shenqi rested for several months, he was sent to Shuofang by Zhang Yan.
On the fifth day of March, Hedong general Guo Jin led 5,000 cavalry to Liaoyang Prefecture in the name of deputy governor of Anbei and envoy of Fanhan in the East China Sea prefectures.
His main purpose of coming to the Northeast was to take up the task of establishing the Anbei Protectorate when Yan Jin had to guard Liaoyang to cope with Murong Nobunaga's army.
The five thousand people led by Guo Jin will be stationed in Longquanfu (Mudanjiang, Heilongjiang), Yueliji (Yilan, Heilongjiang) and other places.
On the one hand, while suppressing the resistance of the local Bohai people, they also tried their best to appease the Jurchens and other ethnic groups in the mountains and forests. After Murong Nobunaga's army progressed smoothly, fresh cannon fodder was continuously transported there.
Even if Murong Nobunaga's war is unfavorable, Guo Jin can return to Liaoyang Mansion to guard and bring back his troops.
Then Yan Jin was asked to lead more than 10,000 elite infantrymen and enter Goryeo to assist Murong Nobunaga in his expedition.
On the eighth day of March, Emperor Zhang's fourth son, Zhe Deyuan, led 23,000 prairie light cavalry from 50,000 households in Zubu, Shiwei, Mierqi, Menggu-Tuzala, and Wugu-Dilie. , and two thousand heavily armored infantry rushed to Liaoyang Mansion.
At this point, all members of Murong Nobunaga's Goryeo expeditionary army had arrived, and a grand troop dispatching ceremony was held in Liaoyang Mansion.
Zhang Gao also sent Zhongguan and officials from the Ministry of Rites to send Murong Nobunaga the Jie Yue and Da Bao, which symbolized the power of life and death.
Then the army set off, and after twenty days of training together in Huanzhou, it would begin its southern expedition.
Huanzhou, also known as Ji'an, Jilin in later generations, may not be considered a nameless town in later generations, but in the entire history of Northeast China, it was a very famous town and the capital of Goguryeo.
In later generations, the shameless bandit Li Wanzhi of the Nanbangzi Ancient Art Association bribed the shameless scum among the Chinese. Cui Zhen, director of the Ji'an Korean Culture Center, and others stole the murals from the Goguryeo ancient tombs in Ji'an.
These murals later became evidence of the origin of all things in Nanbang. Everything was found on the ancestors' murals.
That's because he sent his ancestors, and it's almost the same as those who fucked their ancestors.
Therefore, when Murong Nobunaga's army gathered in Huanzhou, there was an inexplicable black humor.
.
.
Asge panted heavily and waved the bone in his hand at the large school grounds outside Huanzhou City. Although he could only do two or three moves over and over, this bone weighed seven or eight pounds, and he had to wave it a hundred times at a time to be considered qualified. Even for a strong man like him, it was a bit difficult.
But Asge still didn't dare to give up, because they were not training, but selecting. Only the selected ones could be the first batch of soldiers to go to the battlefield.
Of course, there are many benefits for these first batch to go to the battlefield. A lot of gold and silver, beautiful women, fat cattle and sheep will all be given priority to them.
As for the issue of dying in battle, Asge didn't think much about it at all.
Because if you die in battle, then go to the Paradise to serve the Supreme Heaven!
Anyway, I am still a warrior in the human world. Wouldn't it be better to die early in battle and go to the Paradise of Elysium and become a supreme god with golden armor who can enjoy endless food and wine?
Murong Yan looked at these majestic prairie people with great satisfaction, and his head couldn't help but click.
Not only are these guys physically strong, but most of them look like they have a ruthless and silly temperament that is both rough-faced and honest. They are typical warriors trapped in battle.
This kind of elite heavy-armored infantry needs to be naive and ruthless, but it is difficult to use the shrewd ones, because they are not easily incited, and they probably don't believe that there is really a paradise.
"Put out all those smart-looking people. There's no need for smart people here. Send them all to Xiang Xun."
Murong Yanchao was a veteran, and not only was his surname Murong, but he also saved the life of Murong Nobunaga's grandfather Cao Yuanzhong, and he had known Hao Daer as early as Shi Jingtang's period. Therefore, he was still very popular after he arrived at the Prince Ba's Mansion in Liaoyang County. Favored.
Originally, Murong Yanchao was hanging out with Zhao Siwan and others who were more like-minded, but since Murong Yanchao found out that Zhao Siwan and others were really cannibals, he immediately decided to stay away from them.
This cannibalism is nothing to the tooth soldiers.
But that was all done when there was really nothing else to do. How could anyone seize a prisoner and disembowel him on the spot to take out the bile and drink it with wine? Even a fool like him, Yan Kunlun, was frightened by Zhao Siwan and others. One jump.
Asge was quickly chosen by Murong Yanchao because he was not only majestic and physically strong, but also had a ruthless and silly appearance.
It is very similar to a later actor named Sang Ping, who is the fat guy King Kong who eats instant noodles in the Little Shenyang trio in Chinatown.
Let me ask you, do you panic if a strong man with this appearance and figure puts on three layers of heavy armor and rushes towards you with a bone in his hand? Not to mention taking action, it would scare most people to the point of peeing.
Asge was holding an iron armor and a close-fitting chain mail, his face almost bursting with laughter. The two thousand prairie heavy armor soldiers were just names before.
Because what they produced was flesh, and the imperial court was responsible for equipping Jiawei and Guduo. Thousands of heavily armored infantry could be pulled out on the grassland at any time. How could Zhang Zhou defeat them so quickly?
The strong men on the grassland who were selected together with Asge were also overjoyed. They could now fully believe that they would win the upcoming battle.
In their eyes, one person can easily kill a bear by wearing the pierced armor and chain mail, and holding the seven or eight kilograms of bone. If you use such terrifying force to fight several enemies, it is not easy to catch them.
King Buddha has ten thousand bears and tigers wearing two layers of heavy armor under his command, and they are already invincible.

At the Yamen Office in Huanzhou, Murong Nobunaga was beating drums to gather the generals.
Among them, his confidant general Wang Jing led the main force of the Liaoyang County Prince's Forbidden Army in Andong and Pingdong towns with 10,000 infantry cavalry.
Among them, heavy-armored infantry and crossbowmen accounted for the vast majority, and under their command were handsome men like Xiang Xun, as well as capable generals such as Zhang Jianxiong and Wang Tingyi.
The great eldest son himself has nine thousand men, Zhaoyi Lang, with silver saddles and white robes. His generals Chen Sirang and Li Hanqiong lead the left and right wing capitals, and his clan brother Murong Xinzhen leads the inner wing capital, with three thousand people in each wing.
In addition, six thousand light-armored hussars and unarmored horse archers were selected from the Tuyuhun and Dangxiang tribes, led by Yuan Yanchao and Helianhai.
The dragons each rule.
The elder himself has a personal guard of three thousand people.
Among them was an elite cavalry force of 1,000 men, consisting of 200 armored cavalry, 500 heavy armored cavalry, and 300 light armored hussars.
This was re-established with the backbone of the three hundred elites of the Youyu Linwei Fenghuo Cavalry Battalion originally under his command.
The remaining two thousand people are the elite Xiaoguo Guards, a heavily armored infantry group composed of selected Andong Han people, Hengshan Bubazi, Khitan sharpshooters, Shiwei, and Jurchen jungle warriors.
Finally, there is a group of 4,000 beggars. This is a cannon fodder army composed of thieves from Wuning Town in Xuzhou, mountain bandits, water bandits, desperate rangers, and long-standing criminals gathered from all over the country.
Their equipment is average, but they have rich experience and come with terrifying BUFF.
Murong Nobunaga mixed them with Gao Song's two thousand Bohai soldiers, with Gao Song as the commander and Zhao Siwan as the deputy commander.
These people are considered to be Murong Nobunaga's family. They have a total of 34,000 cavalry and are quite powerful.
In addition, with Zhang Zhang's approval, his sworn brother Zhe Deyuan brought him 21,000 elite unarmored prairie horse archers and 2,000 elite heavy armored prairie men.
Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Hui could also bring at least 20,000 navy generals and 20,000 to 30,000 sailors from the sea.
Although they are called naval forces, you might think that they cannot do it on land, but in fact, the method of water warfare is also that of land warfare. Once the critical moment comes, they can also be used as an army.
Therefore, this time it seemed that Murong Nobunaga went south from Andong to attack Goguryeo, but in fact Zhang Gao equipped him with 77,000 soldiers, all of whom were quite elite.
If we count the tens of thousands of civilians from all ethnic groups recruited, the so-called 300,000-strong army is definitely not an exaggeration.
This also proves from the side that Zhang Yan said that the strategy of Murong Nobunaga's southern expedition to Goryeo must focus on killing people, which is very clear-headed.
Without killing more than ten or two hundred thousand people, it would not be easy to feed those who followed Murong Nobunaga on his southern expedition.
After the point was completed, Murong Nobunaga quickly made arrangements in front of the map.
At this time, there are three ways to enter Korea from Liaodong. One is the Daning River on the left, and the other is the Qingchuan River on the right. They both originate from Changbai Mountain and its mountains. The remaining one is to take the seaside.
Among them, the Daning River and the Chongchuan River formed a roughly U-shaped intersection on the map. The intersection point was the first barrier north of Pyongyang in Wang's Korea, Anbukfu.
Wang's Anbei Mansion in Goryeo was roughly located in the Jiechuan area of later Korea.
In fact, these two roads into North Korea were still used until later generations.
During the period of resisting U.S. aggression and aiding Korea, among the U.S. troops who were severely beaten by our volunteers in the Battle of the Qingchuan River, the U.S. Ninth Army marched towards our border from the direction of the Daning River, while the Second Army of the Nanbang Army marched roughly along the Qingchuan River.
"I would like to ask the prince to lead the forbidden troops in Andong and Pingdong towns, and I will supplement them with 5,000 Menggu-Tuzala and some 20,000 Ugu-dilie light cavalry to cover the left and right, and descend from the Qingchuan River.
The fourth brother led 8,000 Zubu and Ugu-enemies' light cavalry and 3,000 beggar infantry to attack Guizhou and Xuanzhou along the coastline of Zibaozhou (Sinuiju).
After capturing these two states, they raised supplies on the spot, repaired the port south of Xuanzhou, and waited for the arrival of the navy of Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Hui.
A certain person personally led the remaining main force down from the Daning River, and together with the prince, attacked Anbei Mansion from east to west.
Take this city before April 12th, pretend to besiege Goryeo's Xijing (Pyongyang), lure the main force of Goryeo to go north to relieve the siege, and start a battle to encircle the point and bring reinforcements! "
