- Late at night on September 24, General Shang, Dr. Zuo Guanglu, and Qin Xinggong Yang Yichen received an urgent message from Xue Shixiong, the ambassador of Northeast China.
Xue Shixiong made a brief analysis and deduction on the fact that the Beibei army suddenly stopped attacking Bailang Pass and Shenwuchuan, and quickly retreated to the Huanghuadui and Jinshatan lines. According to the judgment of General Youwuwei and Hua Guogong Li Jing, the Beibei troops may have found a bypass from the upper reaches of Sanggan River to Wuzhou Fortress, and this bypass may not have been completely destroyed when the Daibei army retreated hastily. , and then gave Beilu a way to escape from death. Accordingly, the commanders-in-chief of the Northeastern Army have jointly reported to the emperor and the central government, asking the emperor and the central government to pay close attention to the development of the war situation and make timely adjustments to offensive and defensive strategies.
As the highest military and political commander of the Northeast Road, Xue Shixiong was directly responsible to the emperor and the central government. In fact, there was no need to inform Yang Yichen of the analysis and deduction of the war situation by the military commanders of the Northeast Road. However, at the most critical moment when the war situation developed, Xue Shixiong did so. , there must be deep meaning in it.
After reading Xue Shixiong¡¯s letter, Yang Yichen completely agreed with the conclusions of the commanders of the Northeast Army on the current war situation.
Yang Yichen was once the commander-in-chief of the Daibei Army. The Yuchi family, their family, subordinates, and old friends have always been the core strength of the Daibei Army. This is the reason why the two generations of emperors of the empire regarded the Yuchi family as a bastard and did their utmost to favor them. From the perspective of national security, the late emperor transferred Yang Yichen out of Daibei early in order to curb the influence of the Yuchi family in Daibei. However, also out of the need to control northern Xinjiang, the two generations of emperors never idled or abandoned them. Yang Yichen instead asked him to continue to guard the border and entrusted him with important tasks. As one of the famous commanders of the empire's border garrison, Yang Yichen was not only familiar with military and political affairs on the border, but also knew Daibei's military affairs well.
After Beilu stopped attacking Shenwuchuan, he already had a premonition that the battle situation was about to change drastically, but he just considered his own difficult situation. It is inconvenient to ask other battlefield commanders about military information, so as not to follow the truth and ask for trouble. Unexpectedly, Xue Shixiong took the initiative to send a message in the blink of an eye.
Yang Yichen was one of the strongest opponents of the strategy of the emperor and the central government to implement a decisive battle between the north and the south immediately after the Eastern Expedition. The reason for opposition is not due to political conservatism, but purely from a military perspective. After the Western and Eastern Expeditions, the imperial army was exhausted and suffered huge losses. It was inappropriate to engage in a massive north-south decisive battle. To take a step back, even if Beibei took advantage of the imperial army's exhaustion. In the event of a large-scale southward invasion, there is absolutely no need for the empire to exhaust its national power in a decisive battle. It can survive the crisis simply by relying on many natural advantages and effective means such as the Great Wall, dangerous mountains and passes, climate, strong walls and clear fields. Although this passive defense strategy will inevitably Politically it was a blow to the authority of the emperor and the center, but militarily it was correct. It will help to restore the huge damage caused to the empire by the first two expeditions as soon as possible.
Is the "face" of the emperor and the central government more important, or is the long-term stability of the empire and the peaceful reunification of China and the mainland more important? Compare the two. Which one is more important and which one is less important? It's clear at a glance. But the emperor and the center were like lions who had lost their minds. They only showed off their majestic bodies and powerful strength, and did not pay attention to their bloody wounds. For the so-called dignity of the king, they even did not hesitate to die with the enemy.
After Yang Yichen arrived at the battlefield of the decisive battle, he was very uneasy about the consequences of the decisive battle in which both sides would suffer losses or even suffer death. Such a decisive battle. What's the point? Even though it was a military victory, politically it was a complete failure. Could it be that the emperor and the central government were so dazzled by the blood and killing that they couldn't distinguish the priorities of things?
finally. At the critical juncture when both sides were in danger of being destroyed, the situation of the war changed. Did the Beilu find a way out of the encirclement as Li Jing speculated? Yang Yichen has lived in Daibei for a long time and is very familiar with the trail. He also knows that Daibei's army will definitely destroy it when they retreat, but the extent of the damage is unclear. Maybe the damage is not serious and can give the northern captives an escape. Opportunity.
Assuming that this conjecture is correct and Shibi Khan and the main force of Beilu are rapidly evacuating from that detour, then the decisive battle is actually over. Now that the decisive battle is over, what is the purpose of Xue Shixiong's "show of goodwill" at this moment?
Yang Yichen immediately thought of Jialan.
The core figure of this decisive battle is Jialan. It is precisely because Jialan faithfully implemented the emperor and the central government's north-south decisive battle strategy that the emperor and the central government successfully achieved the decisive battle goal at great risk. With his outstanding achievements in the three eastern expeditions, the youngest general of the empire has become the most trusted and valued thunder "war sword" of the emperor and the central government.
The decisive battle is over, how will the emperor and the central government use this indestructible "battle knife"?
Now that foreign aggression has been temporarily subdued, the national defense and diplomatic strategies formulated by the emperor and the central government have been basically realized, and the next step is to make peace. Security includes two aspects: the political aspect is to continue to promote the reform of the centralized power system, and the military aspect is to fight against rebellion, and whether they canSuccess, in the final analysis, depends on whether the contradiction between the reformists and conservatives within the imperial aristocratic ruling class can be eased. If this fundamental contradiction cannot be alleviated, then the relationship between the central and local governments will become increasingly worse and more antagonistic. The consequences of this will be that the central government's decrees cannot leave the eastern capital, while local forces quickly gain power and challenge the central government. The central government posed a threat, which in turn jeopardized the stability of the empire and the peaceful reunification of China and Turkey.
The victory of the decisive battle between the north and the south restored the authority of the emperor and the central government. This will inevitably lead to the emperor and the central government controlled by the reformists not to give up political reforms, let alone compromise with the conservative nobles. It is foreseeable that the fundamental contradictions in the country will become more and more intense, and the struggle between the central and local governments will become increasingly out of control. Once the imperial army loses local support in fighting rebellion, it is conceivable that it will be very difficult to counter the rebellion and the situation will get worse and worse. The imperial army's steady retreat on the battlefield of fighting rebellion and counterinsurgency will definitely affect the authority of the emperor and the central government. The emperor and the central government have lost their authority and control over local areas. How can we talk about political reform? On the contrary, even the reform achievements in the early period, including the former emperor's period, will be ruined in an instant.
Therefore, it is not difficult to speculate on the use of Jialan's "battle knife" by the emperor and the central government.
Xue Shixiong, as the supreme military and political commander of the Northeast Province, faced a serious crisis after the decisive battle due to the heavy losses of the five main legions in the Northeast Province's garrison situation. For this reason, he had to find ways to keep Jialan.
After the decisive battle, Jialan has become the pillar of the new generation in the imperial military, and in the eyes of the barbarians in the desert. He has become an insurmountable Great Wall in Middle-earth. It can be said that as long as Jialan guards the borders of Central-Earth, the barbarians in the desert and even the barbarians in the Far East will not dare to invade Central-Earth for a long time in the future.
After the decisive battle in Northern Xinjiang, it was absolutely impossible for Xue Shixiong, Li Jing and Yang Gongren to leave. Without enough garrison troops, the empire could only rely on the fame of these generals to intimidate the northern captives. Similarly, in Daibei, Wang Rengong could not leave. However, Daibei's army and even the Taiyuan garrison suffered heavy losses in this decisive battle. Especially Daibei's army, because Wang Rengong and Wang Zhibian always commanded Daibei's army to rush to the front in order to offset their merits. Their losses were extremely shocking and they were basically completely lost. If there is no garrison in Daibei. What does that mean for the Empire and Middle-earth? so. From Xue Shixiong's standpoint. Even if Jialan cannot be left in the Northeast Road, he must be left in Daibei, so that the entire Great Northern Territory can gain valuable time to recuperate and recuperate.
If you want to keep Jialan in Daibei, Yang Yichen's recommendation is very important. As the leader of Daibei's aristocratic group, Yang Yichen has great influence in Daibei. He recommended Jialan to garrison Daibei. The emperor and the central government had to carefully consider the placement of Jialan.
Yang Yichen smiled bitterly to himself. From the perspective of garrisoning northern Xinjiang, Xue Shixiong's idea was not wrong. After all, it was for the safety of the empire and the Central Plains that people should make full use of their talents and use them to their full potential. But judging from the fierce conflicts between reformists and conservatives in the Eastern Capital, Xue Shixiong's idea was completely wrong. The conservative forces definitely do not want to see the devil Jialan on the domestic anti-insurgency and counter-insurgency battlefields. In order to deal with the conservative forces in the court, the emperor and the central government will definitely put Jialan on the anti-insurgency and counter-insurgency battlefields, or even directly in Gyeonggi and Henan. , who was responsible for the security of the greater Gyeongsang Province and carried out bloody suppression of rebellions from all directions. Yang Yichen could recommend Jialan to garrison Daibei, but the result would be that Jialan would inevitably leave northern Xinjiang.
Yang Yichen wrote back to Xue Shixiong, expressing his gratitude, and repeatedly mentioned the political situation in Dongdu after the decisive battle. In his opinion, the possibility of Jialan staying in northern Xinjiang is very slim. The emperor and the central government will definitely use this opportunity to transfer Jialan back to the domestic battlefield to fight against rebellion, and even entrust him with the important task of taking charge of the security of the capital.
Xue Shixiong received Yang Yichen¡¯s reply and immediately invited Yang Gongren. The two of them looked at each other in silence, and unanimously thought of the suggestion that Jialan made to them during the Third Eastern Expedition to develop strength based on the Northeast Road in order to turn the tide when the empire was in crisis. Judging from the current domestic and international situation, the possibility of the empire falling into danger is increasing. The victory of the Third Eastern Expedition and the decisive battle between the north and the south depended to a large extent on the loyalty of the troops in the Northeast to the emperor and the central government. However, after the decisive battle, there were not many of these troops loyal to the emperor and the central government left, and they could no longer Give strong support to the emperor and the central government. However, in this decisive battle, the imperial guards of the two capitals and various local hawks gave very limited support to the emperor and the central government. This not only exposed the fierce conflicts within the Eastern Capital, but also showed that the authority of the emperor and the central government was declining rapidly. .
"Political reform requires the backing and support of the army. This is undoubtedly one thing. However, the emperor and the central government are losing the support of the army. It is not difficult to speculate that the empire is collapsing step by step.
On September 25, the left and right Yiwei, Xiaoguo Army, and Daibei Army?The Taiyuan Army and the Dongdu reinforcements continued to attack Beibei fifty miles south of Jinshatan Beach.
Mohe Duo set Ashina Du Bisi to command the army to fight to the death.
On the same day, on the Jinshatan battlefield, Yang Yichen commanded the Xijing reinforcements to attack the Beili.
?When Lifa Kangsheng led the troops to block the attack, the two sides fought fiercely.
On the same day, on the Huanghuadui battlefield, Yang Gongren commanded the first part of the Liaodong Army, and Li Jing commanded the Peiping Army, and also launched an attack on the Beibei.
On the same day, soldiers from both sides were still fighting bloody battles at Efeokou Pass and along the line of Efeushui.
On the same day, Shibi Khan led the account officials and tens of thousands of the main force of the tooth account and rushed to Wuzhou Fortress from Jiandao. In order to evacuate all the troops in the shortest possible time and increase the speed of retreat, they had to abandon all baggage, cattle, sheep and other livestock, and even had to reluctantly abandon a large number of war horses.
In the early morning of September 26, Mohe Dushe commanded the army to retreat thirty miles, just a stone's throw away from the Golden Beach.
In the early morning of that day, under the personal supervision of the emperor, the imperial army pursued and killed each other, and the two sides continued to fight.
In the early morning of the same day, the Beilu troops on the Huanghuadui battlefield withdrew into Jinshatan.
Yang Gongren and Li Jing sent their troops to pursue and met Yang Yichen at Jinshatan Beach.

On this day, all the imperial soldiers on the battlefield knew that the decisive battle was coming to an end. However, most of the soldiers did not expect that the decisive battle would end with the escape of the northern captives. Although they made history and achieved great achievements, they fell short. Regret is hard to let go.
In the early morning of September 27th, Lifushu Ashinaduoli led his army to withdraw from Efeokou and quickly headed north to Yunnei City.
On September 27, Mohe Du set up Ashina Du Bisi to retreat into Jinshatan Beach and met with Kang Sheoli. The two armies guarded the retreat passage.
The imperial emperor marched into Jinshatan, and fought with Yang Yichen's Xijing reinforcements, Li Jing's Peking army, and Yang Gongren's army. Like a roaring wave, hundreds of thousands of troops launched a tidal wave of offensive toward the northern captives. The ground was shaken for a while. The situation changes.
