Ximen Qing led his troops back to the military camp and told Wu Yong and the leaders about today's war.
After listening to Ximen Qing's story, Wu Yong nodded and said: "It seems that the Liao army is here to test this time. Now that the test is over, the Liao army must have a plan. The Liao army is not stupid, they know that we are The Liangshan army is brave and good at fighting, and they will definitely not face an attack again"
Ximen Qing asked: "Xuetuo, what do you think the Liao army will do?"
Ximen Qing laughed and said: "If I face a strong enemy army, I will definitely divide it and attack it!"
"Divide and attack?" everyone asked.
Wu Yong said: "Yes, it means dividing and attacking. They will divide their troops into several groups and scatter our army. Our army is not familiar with the terrain here. If we are led by the enemy, we will probably be wiped out one by one. !¡±
Ximen Qingdao: "That's right. It can be said that this is the only way for the Liao army. If this is the case, how should we deal with it? Scholars, tell me quickly!"
Wu Yong nodded and said: "If the enemy wants to disperse us, then we will take the initiative to disperse, lie in wait, and let their plans bury them. Our army can divide our troops into three routes: march all the way to Youzhou to meet the enemy. Army; the two armies are as similar as wings, supporting them on the left and right. If an ambush army arises, let the two armies go to meet the enemy, and then kill them like bereft dogs. Commander, what do you think?"
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "It's wonderful!"
After that, Ximen Qing knocked on the table and said: "Lin Chong, Zhu Tong, you two will lead the Leopard Battalion and the Assault Battalion from the left, Wu Song and Lei Heng, you two will lead the Wolf Battalion and Eagle Battalion from the right. And I, Guan Sheng, Lin Chong, lead the Leopard Battalion and Qinglong Dadao Battalion to attack head-on. The rest of the troops will sit in the stronghold to prevent the enemy from hijacking the camp, is it clear?"
"Yes, Commander!" Everyone shouted in unison.
The next day, Ximen Qing led the Leopard Battalion and Qinglong Dadao Battalion to Youzhou, while the left and right armies attacked from the flanks.
After the army had marched for more than ten miles, they saw He Chongbao approaching from the main road with ten thousand horses. Seeing Ximen Qing, He Chongbao was extremely jealous and immediately launched his troops to fight.
Within a short time of the confrontation between the two armies, the Liao army was defeated. Then He Chongbao led his troops to retreat and hurried towards Youzhou.
Ximen Qing sent his troops to pursue him. Unexpectedly, after chasing for a few miles, they saw two Liao troops rushing out from the left and right sides. The Liao army on the left was led by Li Jinwu, and the Liao army on the right was led by Taizhen Xu Qing. As soon as the two armies and horses appeared, they began to attack the Liang army from both sides, and then fled after fighting.
Seeing the actions of Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xuqing, Ximen Qing secretly laughed: "You want me to divide my troops to chase you? Huh, what a delusion! If you just wait a little, you will have something interesting to watch!"
Ximen Qingdun gave the order not to worry about the Liao troops on both sides and directly pursue the Liao troops in front.
Seeing that Ximen Qing was not fooled, He Chongbao panicked and quickly retreated with his troops. Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xu Qing hurriedly returned, preparing to continue to pester Ximen Qing.
But at this moment, a large army sprang out from behind them!
It is the army led by Lin Chong and Wu Song!
The Liao army did not expect that the enemy troops would attack from both sides, so they did not react for a while. Lin Chong and Wu Song led the Liangshan army to fight, and only killed Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xu Qing's army to pieces.
He Chongbao, who was escaping, was so shocked that he almost fell off his horse when he heard that Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xu Qing were being blocked. Yesterday, they discussed all night before formulating a plan to divide and attack. They thought that the plan was appropriate and they could divide and destroy the enemy. However, they never thought that not only did they fail to destroy the enemy, but their own army was defeated. Now their life or death is uncertain!
He Chongbao gritted his teeth with hatred, but he did not have the guts to turn around and react. He could only lead his troops to withdraw quickly, hoping to withdraw to Youzhou, stay safe, and protect Youzhou for a while.
Seeing Youzhou right in front of him, He Chongbao was overjoyed and quickened his pace. Wu Yan, who was in command in Youzhou, saw He Chongbao coming in vain, with enemies chasing him behind him. Wu Yan shouted bad, then got off the city wall and led his troops out of the city to rescue him.
Wuyan rescued He Chongbao and returned to the city. Ximen Qing also led his troops to the city gate. Seeing the city gate pass, Ximen Qing sneered and did not attack the city. Instead, he divided his troops into two groups and cooperated with Lin Chong and Wu Song to destroy Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xuqing.
At noon, Ximen Qing led the army back to the military camp.
As expected, both Li Jinwu and Taizhen Xu Qing were beheaded from their horses, and almost all of the men and horses they led were also killed. Although Liangshan troops suffered sacrifices, the victory was overwhelming. Ximen Qing was overjoyed and directly rewarded the three armies. Then the army moved to the stronghold. The front army pressed towards Youzhou and ordered people to build wells and ladders in preparation for attacking the city.
The actions of the Liangshan army caused Wuyan and He Chongbao to panic, but they were helpless. Li Jinwu and TaizhenXu Qing was killed and there were not enough soldiers. How could he resist the Liangshan army's siege?
With Wu Yan and He Chongbao worried, the Liangshan army began to attack the city three days later.
It was still an artillery attack, so that the Liao army did not dare to show its head. Immediately the army scaled the city, and in less than an hour, Youzhou City was captured. Wuyan, He Chongbao and He Chongyang fled to Yanjing.
Then Ximen Qing issued an edict to appease the people, and then sat in the city.
At this point, Tanzhou, Jizhou, Bazhou, and Youzhou were all under Liangshan's control, and most of the Liao Kingdom's territory was occupied. Next, the Liangshan army can sweep northward, swallow up Xiongzhou, and reach Yanjing, forcing Lord Lang to flee. It is best to escape from seclusion.
By then, the situation in Liangshan will be complete.
In the following days, Ximen Qing took charge of Youzhou to reorganize his troops. But at this time, big news came from Liangshan's spies. This big news is about the situation in Tokyo.
After Zhao Yunluo destroyed Fang La, he summoned all the troops in the world and led an army of 400,000 to march toward Tokyo in a mighty manner, in the name of going to Beijing to face the enemy.
Faced with Zhao Yunluo's actions, Zhao Kai, who had just become emperor, was unwilling, so he issued numerous imperial edicts asking Zhao Yunluo to go north to destroy the Tang army. But Zhao Yunluo definitely refused to listen and ignored him. He continued to march towards Tokyo and finally besieged the city of Tokyo.
Zhao Yunluo's actions naturally caused an uproar in the Song Dynasty. Everyone yelled at Zhao Yunluo for his treason and treason, but Zhao Yunluo did not care at all and sent his troops to attack Tokyo City.
Zhao Kai defended the city of Tokyo and ordered all troops to surround and suppress the traitor Zhao Yunluo.
Seeing the lively fight between Zhao Yunluo and Zhao Kai, the suppressed rebels jumped up again, and then they raised the banner of killing the rebels, started to cause chaos again, and began to expand their strength. But it's better, these forces are very small, far less large than the previous Fang La, Wang Qing, and Wu Ziyi.
Zhao Yunluo was determined to take over Tokyo City, so naturally he would not give up. In this way, after attacking for more than two months, Zhao Yunlan finally blasted through the city of Tokyo. Later, he successfully broke into the imperial city and killed Zhao Kai. He proclaimed himself emperor ten days ago and officially ascended the throne.
Zhao Yunluo became the emperor and immediately ordered the military commanders from all over the country to come to Beijing to meet him. It was obvious that Zhao Yunluo wanted to seize military power and control all military power in his own hands. After all, now that I have rebelled and ascended the throne, there is no guarantee that the commanders of those armies will have something fishy on their minds.
At the same time, Zhao Yunlin also offered amnesty to the world, hoping to win the support of the people. However, rebellion is rebellion, and it is difficult for Zhao Yunluo to restore his reputation.
Zhu Wu knew that Zhao Yunqi would attack the Liangshan army after he won the throne, so he sent a letter to Ximen Qing early to let Ximen Qing make a decision.
After Ximen Qing read the letter, it was convenient for Wu Yong to discuss.
Ximen Qing said: "Zhao Yunluo's methods are really fast. He ascended the throne so quickly. Although he is plotting to rebel and seize the throne, he has become the emperor after all. If you give him a while, the people of the world will be calm. Then he will take advantage of it. It will be difficult to deal with this turmoil. So I plan to lead the army back to the Song Dynasty. As for the name, it is to 'protect the country' and 'kill the thieves'! What do you think?"
Wu Yong smiled and said: "Although it is a month or two ahead of our original plan, we are still under control! The commander is right. We must return to Beijing as soon as possible in order to take advantage of the turmoil to stir up the world situation and make everyone share the same hatred. , jointly deal with Zhao Yunluo! Let him be embattled on all sides! As for the Liao Kingdom, we only need to leave an army to garrison, and then continue to march north to attack Xiongzhou and Yanjing! The situation in the Liao Kingdom is over now, and we will not personally take charge. It is also going to perish!"
Ximen Qing nodded and said: "Okay, let's do it like this!"
Immediately, Ximen Qing summoned all the leaders in the surrounding cities, and then ordered Zhu Tong to lead many leaders and assault battalions to guard Youzhou, Yang Xiong and Shi Xiu to lead the shield battalion to guard Bazhou, and ordered Yang Zhi, who had returned to Liangshan, to lead Modao. The camp guards Jizhou, and Xie Zhen and Xie Bao lead the assassination camp to guard Tanzhou.
And ordered these leaders to expand their troops within the four states, and then continue to march north to capture the Liao Kingdom. In addition, Ximen Qing left Tao Qian in charge of the Liao Kingdom and took charge of all matters.
The remaining leaders reorganized their soldiers and returned to the Song Dynasty to attack the traitor Zhao Yunluo!
Three days later, Ximen Qing led the army to leave the Liao Kingdom in a mighty manner, and then sent troops to the Song Dynasty. The army was majestic, holding high the two banners of "protecting the country" and "killing thieves", and came south with great momentum.
Wherever the army passed, people celebrated, and there was an endless stream of people giving food and drinks. There were also many people asking to join the Liangshan team. For a long time, the Liangshan army went north to conquer Liao and conquered foreign enemies for the country. It can be said that it has the best reputation and is the righteous army in the eyes of the people. Now Liangshan's army is protecting the country, and it is precisely because of the great righteousness that it makes the people celebrate and encourage.
The actions of the Liangshan army aroused the response of the people in various regions of the Song Dynasty. They all wanted to take advantage of the turmoil to gain some benefits, so they all held high the banner of crusade against Zhao Yunluo, revived the name of the Song Dynasty, and began to rely on the crusade. The name began to cause chaos everywhere and expand its strength.
For a time, the situation that Zhao Yunlin had just stabilized was broken again.
Hearing that the Liangshan army came south to encircle and suppress him, Zhao Yunli was so angry that he opened the dragon table. Now that he is the emperor, he is actually being surrounded and suppressed by the former rebels, and the ignorant people are clapping their hands to support him. This is really amazing!
Immediately, Zhao Yun ordered Gao Qiu to lead 200,000 troops and go north to destroy the Liangshan army.
