Chapter 576 Wolf Totem

In Liaodong, the situation deteriorated.

After Lu Xiangsheng, the defender of Liaodong City, was killed in an attack on Fuyu, the nomadic tribes, fishing and hunting tribes all over the country were ready to move.

The Wuhuan tribe asked Sun Chuanting, the prefect of Western Liaoning, for Qiu Liju and Tadun, the adults of Wuhuan who were under house arrest by Sun Chuanting.

The various Xianbei tribes stopped attacking each other and stood on the sidelines, waiting for the situation to change.

The Goguryeo tribe's activities in Liaodong became more and more frequent.

The scale of the uprising in the Koryo country is getting bigger and bigger. Zhu Neng, the defender of the Koryo country, tried his best to suppress the uprising in the Koryo country.

Gongsun Kang fled from Fuyu State back to Xuantu County, and immediately recruited soldiers and horses to resist the enemies from Fuyu State. Xuantu County is located between Liaodong County and Fuyu State, and Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army were wiped out, so Xuantu County became an obstacle for Fuyu State to invade Liaodong.

People in Liaodong City were panicked, and Fan Wencheng, Minister of the Interior of Mingguan, tried his best to appease people.

The teleportation array flashed white light, and a black-robed military commander appeared from the teleportation array, and with him came Kangxian King Li Chenggui of Koryo.

"The situation is critical now. If you can assist the lord to stabilize the situation, then the position of the lord of Korea will be yours in the future."

Yao Guangxiao, the prime minister in black, lured Li Chenggui to profit, and asked Li Chenggui to lead the servant army of Goryeo to assist the Liaodong Army and stabilize the situation.

Originally, Yao Guangxiao and Li Chenggui were ordered to go to the Heilongjiang River Basin to participate in the suppression of the Dajin Kingdom, but Liaodong City suddenly lost control, and Yao Guangxiao was sent back by Mingguan to stabilize the situation.

Liaodong City is the most important site of Mingguan. If Liaodong City is lost, Mingguan will not be able to get enough supplies in the Heilongjiang River Basin, and maybe it will fail because of it.

"Please rest assured, the military advisor, the final general will do his best to serve the Lord!"

Li Chenggui agreed immediately.

This time is also his chance. He has already betrayed the aliens of Korea. Only with the support of Mingguan can he become the king of Korea and suppress those who oppose him in Korea.

Yao Guangxiao brought Li Chenggui to the Lord's Mansion in Liaodong City. Officials and generals went in and out of the Lord's Mansion, dispatching soldiers and horses to appease the various tribes.

Fan Wencheng, who was in charge of internal affairs, saw Yao Guangxiao and others coming, so he got up: "You guys are here."

"How many soldiers are available now? General Li's Koryo Army has about 50,000 troops."

Yao Guangxiao directly asked Fan Wencheng about the strength of troops in the Liaodong City area.

"There is also a team of the Eight Banners of the Han Army. This is the Lord's special unit. It has always been stationed in Liaodong City. Even if the Tianxiong Army went to crusade against Fuyu, they did not use the Eight Banners of the Han Army."

"Concentrate the main forces and go to Xuantu County to deploy defenses. We must know where the enemy that caused Lu Xiangsheng's death came from."

Yao Guangxiao knows that a powerful enemy may not be scary, what is really scary is an unknown enemy.

"Before Lu Xiangsheng was surrounded, he opened up the channel between Fuyu Kingdom and Xuantu County, and sent some aliens and prisoners out, obtaining important information for us."

"Can the captives explain whether they are the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin? Goguryeo, or the cavalry of Mongolia and Xianbei?"

Yao Guangxiao couldn't help being moved.

Lu Xiangsheng knew the importance of intelligence to the decision-making of the Liaodong Army. Before falling into the siege of the opponent, he handed over the captives to the alien lord who broke out in advance, and sent out important information.

The alien lord is well-informed, coupled with the torture of the Liaodong Army, he will definitely be able to obtain important information from the captives.

Fan Wencheng handed a volume of documents to Yao Guangxiao: "According to the account of the captured enemy soldiers, they are part of the Pishi Army. And some foreign lords claim that the Pishi Army is an elite Khitan army."

Yao Guangxiao frowned as he took over the documents and records of the torture of the Khitan captives.

Not to mention Lu Xiangsheng, even he believed that the enemy who helped Fuyu was a small group of cavalry from the Kingdom of Jin, and it might even be cavalry from the Xianbei tribe. However, the results of the torture of the captives showed that this group of cavalry was not Jurchen, Xianbei, or Mongolia, but Khitan!

"This is the barbarian tribe that descended on Liaodong. Like the Kingdom of Jin, the number of enemies we face has increased again."

Yao Guangxiao realized the seriousness of the problem.

It was no longer easy to deal with the Jurchen of the Jin Kingdom, and the appearance of Khitan cavalry in the Fuyu Kingdom was not a good thing.

The Liao Kingdom also has its own elite unit—the Pishi Army.

"To deal with the Khitan people, focus on defense. Only when the lord breaks through the capital of the Jin Kingdom, returns to Liaodong, and joins us in the north and south, can we eliminate the Khitan cavalry entrenched in Fuyu..."

Under the premise of insufficient troops, it is difficult for Yao Guangxiao to use tactics to eliminate a powerful force that suddenly appeared.

The Liao Kingdom at its peak defeated the Northern Song Dynasty, which was not long after its founding. Song general Yang Ye and others were killed in battle, and they were undoubtedly extremely powerful enemies.

The accounts of the prisoners of the Pishi army were also not detailed. For example, it is unknown who the Khitan generals entrenched in Fuyu were.

"Urgent report, Xuantu County cavalry captain Gongsun Kang asks for help, a large number of unknown cavalry and Fuyu people attack Xuantu County!"

When Yao Guangxiao returned to Liaodong City and joined Fan Wencheng, Xuantu County was in a sudden emergency!

"Just relying on the defenders of Xuantu County, even if there is a powerful rebel army, they will not be able to defend for long. We must go to Xuantu County before the teleportation array in Xuantu County is cut off, otherwise, it will be too late. Li Chenggui , you leave immediately."

"Obey!"

Li Chenggui led the troops of Goryeo to use the teleportation array in Liaodong City to go to the defense line of Xuantu County.

"Your Majesty should agree to use the Eight Banners of the Han Army. The situation is critical, so there should be no hesitation. Mobilize the Eight Banners of the Han Army and march towards Xuantu County. You can't completely rely on the teleportation array. Maybe the Khitan cavalry will approach the city of Xuantu County soon. , causing the transmission array to fail.”

Yao Guangxiao immediately presided over the defense of Xuantu County.

Fan Wencheng hesitated for a while, then said to Yao Guangxiao: "Should we conscript the servants of the Wuhuan tribe, Xianbei tribe, and Goguryeo tribe, and use these tribes to consume the Khitan cavalry? Keeping these tribes will be a hidden danger sooner or later. It's better to drive away the tigers." Wolf."

Yao Guangxiao thought for a while, and his eyes were full of spirits: "What you said is nothing wrong. Moreover, several of the Korean generals who tried to recruit captives have the ability to command troops, especially Ulji Moondeok. Ulchi Moon Deok is a general of Goguryeo, so he may not be willing to serve the dead Choi Jae-sun. If he can be favored and promised to treat the Goguryeo people well, he may be willing to command Goguryeo’s servant army.”

"Murong Ba of the Yanqi Guild can force the Xianbei tribe to be loyal and command the Xianbei servant army."

"And try to lure Qiu Liju from the Wuhuan tribe to lead the Wuhuan servant army to fight for our Liaodong army."

"Very good."

Fan Wencheng and Yao Guangxiao are good at stratagems and people's hearts. They simply discuss and try to use the strength of the two to use heroes to manipulate various tribes and stabilize the situation in Liaodong.

In Xuantu County, Li Chenggui, King Kangxian of Koryo Kingdom, led the Koryo Legion and arrived at the city by using the teleportation array.

The number of troops sent by the teleportation array is limited every day. Li Chenggui's Koryo army only teleported 10,000 people, and the Khitan cavalry has already reached the city. Cut off the teleportation array!

Under the offensive of the Khitan cavalry, the soldiers of Xuantu County and the Yiren Leaders retreated steadily.

The Khitan people's wolf totem banners were flying, and the elite leather cavalry galloped. Gongsun Kang's Xuantu army was defeated in the face of the Khitan general's offensive.

Gongsun Kang can also be regarded as a famous general in Liaodong in the late Han Dynasty, but he was facing the Khitan people. Some generals of the Khitan were able to defeat the Northern Song Dynasty not long after the founding of the country, and they were not comparable to Gongsun Kang, a small power in a corner at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Gongsun Kang abandoned Lu Xiangsheng and fled back to Xuantu County. After the Khitan cavalry defeated Lu Xiangsheng, they chased them all the way to Xuantu County and attacked the city.

The strategic intention of the Khitan cavalry was very simple. They used the Fuyu people to attract the main force of the Liaodong Army to Fuyu and annihilate them. Then the army went south to attack Xuantu County and Liaodong County, occupy Liaodong, and establish their own dynasty.

Although such a strategy is simple, it hits the nail on the head.

Holding a bow, Li Chenggui shot and killed a Khitan cavalry who was flamboyantly below. The arrow pierced through the throat of the Khitan cavalry with a distance of a hundred paces, causing many defenders of Xuantu County to look sideways at him.

Li Chenggui, as the first bow general of Goryeo, has a high force.

"My legion only has 10,000 people, and the teleportation array has failed. If the rest of the reinforcements don't arrive as soon as possible, Xuantu County will...be unable to defend..."

Li Chenggui frowned when he saw the Khitan cavalry all over the mountains and plains below the city.

The main force of the Liaodong Army went to the Heilongjiang River Basin to crusade against the Kingdom of Jin. Chang Yuchun, Li Chengliang, Jin Wushu, Dorgon and others were all in the Heilongjiang River Basin. Liaodong County was empty of troops. It was very difficult to resist the Khitan cavalry.

Among the tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry, a carriage came to the city. The Khitan general who was in charge of attacking Xuantu County dismounted, came to the side of the carriage, and asked the people in the carriage for orders.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted by a jade hand, and a woman looked at the city of Xuantu County, her eyes were clear and radiant: "Fuyu is weak, and the Liaodong Army is not on guard against it, so the city defense of Xuantu County is not good at all." Er, drive away the Fuyu people, Bohai people and Xuantu County's servant army, and capture this city within ten days."

"If Liaodong City sends reinforcements, what should we do?"

"Defeat."

The Khitan general said, "Yes."

The woman lowered the curtain to cover her astonished face.

The cavalry of the Pishi army protected the carriage and left, and handed over the task of attacking the city to the Khitan general in charge of the attack.

This woman is more like a nobleman among the Khitan people, and her status is not ordinary.

The Khitan army built siege equipment under the city, and summoned a group of soldiers from Fuyu, Xuantu County, Bohai, and Goguryeo as servants.

Once the Khitan army is allowed to capture Xuantu County, the Khitan forces will have Fuyu Kingdom and Xuantu County as their territory in Liaodong, and Mingguan will be attacked by enemies.

Regardless of the Han army or the Khitan army, they regard the servant army as cannon fodder and consume them to attack the city without any distress.

Gongsun Kang saw that the Khitan army had gathered tens of thousands of servants to build siege equipment under the city, and there was a tendency to attack the city aggressively. He couldn't help but regret that he had abandoned Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army in Fuyu.

If some of Lu Xiangsheng and Tianxiong's army returned to Xuantu County, with Lu Xiangsheng's ability, they could hold out until reinforcements arrived.

Gongsun Kang's ability to defend the city is not as good as Lu Xiangsheng, and now he has to rely on Li Chenggui of Koryo.

Li Chenggui's palm holding the longbow was sweating, and the sweat flowed down the bow.

A Khitan general under the city looked up at Li Chenggui and Gongsun Kang with disdain.

As long as the Khitan people are ready, they will drive out the servant army and attack Xuantu County continuously.

Dozens of cavalry galloped out from Liaodong City, and galloped towards the Wuhuan tribe, Xianbei tribe, and Goguryeo tribe respectively, and contacted the servants who surrendered to the Liaodong army.

...

In Bingzhou, Yue Fei's Bingzhou Army is resting in Taiyuan County, Shuofang County, Yunzhong County and other places, recruiting soldiers and horses, and defending the Hetao and Monan areas.

Xue Yue, who was in charge of intelligence, came to Monan Dragon City.

Monan Dragon City hoarded hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to confront the cavalry in Mobei.

There is a desert and a plateau between Mobei and Monan. It is easier to attack Monan from Mobei. On the contrary, if you attack Mobei from Monan, it is quite difficult without the teleportation array.

The entire teleportation formation in Mobei is under the control of the Mongol Empire. Unlike the Western Regions, at least the teleportation formation of the Cheshi Kingdom is still under the control of the Western Regions Protectorate.

To attack Mobei, you can only carry out a long march in the main world.

"According to the information obtained by Liaodong's scouts, the forces appearing in Fuyu Kingdom of Liaodong are the Khitan tribe."

"The Khitan people? In other words, the Liaodong army will deal with the Jurchen and the Khitan people at the same time. I don't know if Mingguan has the ability to block the two forces..."

Xueyue fell into deep thought when she learned the information from Liaodong.

The Jurchens and Khitans at their peak were quite brave in battle. If they joined forces, Mingguan would probably be in a tough fight.

"However, Mingguan has many generals from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and Koryo provides servants, so they should be able to suppress the Jin and Liao..."

Xueyue didn't worry much about Mingguan. After all, Mingguan was not so easy to defeat, but the situation in Liaodong was more complicated.

"The Xianbei tribe living in Yunzhong County and Yanmen County seems to be a little bit wrong recently."

"What's wrong?"

"Some tribes exchanged fur, cattle and sheep for copper and iron from nearby counties."

"Maybe they are just using it for self-protection... No, there is something wrong. At such a moment, we should be more careful..."

Xueyue's scouts deployed in Bingzhou smelled an unusual smell.
