Spring is coming, and the morning of going to Beijing is still cold. Yang Gun lifted the thick sheepskin curtain and a cold wind came towards him, which made him suffocate. As soon as he got off the warm kang, the cold seemed even more unbearable than usual.

He suddenly found a roll of paper tied beside the curtain door, so he hurriedly untied it and looked around. The genius was just dazzled, the air was dry and cold in the wind, and there was no one in the camp to set up the tent, and nothing was found.

Yang Gun walked into the tent with paper, took a piece of charcoal and lit the oil lamp. He went under the lamp and looked at it, and it said: King Yue must rebel.

Yang Gun hurriedly hid the things in his arms, packed them up and left the tent.

When he arrived at the residence of Yelu Xizhen, the Privy Councilor of the Northern Court, he saw Xiao Siwen and Yelu Hu'er was already in the hall. When Yelu Xizhen saw Yang Gun, he said, "Ask Yang Mansion immediately, some people will go to the residence of the Jurchen King of Yalu River."

Yang Gun asked, "What happened?"

Yelu Xizhen said: "The imperial court sent a letter from the Jurchen envoy to the deceased Jurchens. The local Jurchen tribes used the excuse of reducing the pearl output and reducing the number of pearls offered. We must know whether those Jurchens began to despise the prestige of the Great Khitan."

He thought about it and said in a deep voice, "I also doubt whether the Goryeo people have contact with the Jurchen tribe."

Xiao Siwen said fiercely: "If you don't teach those savages a lesson every now and then they will forget to obey!"

After hearing this for a while, Yang Gun finally took out the secret letter from his arms and handed it on both hands: "This is a letter from someone who has quietly placed it outside my tent. I don't believe it very much, but I dare not keep it privately... The King of Yue has always been humble, and this letter may be someone who slanders him with personal grudges."

When a few people saw it, King Yue would rebel! He looked at each other in an instant.

King Yue was named Yelu Bishe, the fifth son of Emperor Taizong of Liao, and the younger brother of Yelu Jing, "Bao_jun". However, Yelu Bishe's mother had a low status and was always humble. She often advised her brother Yelu Jing not to drink and kill indiscriminately. She saved many people and had a good reputation.

After Yelu Xian ascended the throne, he was not embarrassed and even appointed him as King of Yue.

Xiao Siwen frowned and said, "The King of Yue is not like an ambitious person."

Yelu Xizhen said, "What if some people are cowardly? "

Yang Gun said: "The Khan will move to Dongdan, and we must be more careful when we travel."

The capital of the Great Liao Dynasty is in Shangjing, but the power center is not necessarily in Shangjing at any time. Wherever the king's camp migrates, it is the center that governs the vast grasslands.

...and half a month later, Xu Jun's third party had already gathered north.

On the fields on the north bank of the Yellow River, the fields of crops have turned green. There are a few rising fireworks everywhere. They are not the smoke from the village, but the manure for cooking.

Last year, the Yellow River had a bumper harvest from north to south, and grain ships on the Caohe River were endless from autumn to winter. Guo Shao, who was riding on a dark horse to the north on a small mound, couldn't help but say joyfully: "This year is another great harvest!"

He pressed his sword and looked back. On the roads in the fields, the dark people and the dust filled the new green spring.

The cavalry with shiny armor surged rapidly on one road, while the other roads were long and moving slowly. Infantry carrying firearms walked slowly in columns on the side of the road, and in the middle of the road were all kinds of vehicles, donkey carts, horse carts, and wheelbarrows.

The copper cannons with a huge kilogram on the cart occasionally showed a hideous metallic luster under the covered felt. Food, tents, gunpowder, and arrows were transported by the infantry.

How big is the central army? Dozens of officials formed the front camp of the Liaoxi Army to help Guo Shao manage the army's grain roads and warehouses. There is no danger of tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry mobilizing in Hebei. Guo Shao then led his personal guards to ride horses away from the Liaoxi Army and went straight to Shandong for inspection.

A few days later, he arrived at Dengzhou Port. Han Tong, the commander of the Jiaolong Army, went out to greet him one mile outside the port, and led Guo Shao and others to inspect the other two armies.

There are already many camps and tents inside and outside Dengzhou Port, and both Tiezhou Army and Suzhou Army are waiting in this port. In the past few days, Guo Shao has seen another large-scale military mobilization in this era, and the scene is very spectacular.

Several huge Mulan ships docked on the pier, with masts standing like towering trees. Teams of soldiers carrying packaged bags were walking onto the pier through a corridor built by wood on the coast. They climbed the tall Mulan ship deck from the rope ladder.

Many small boats shuttled through the dock, and the soldiers climbing on the big boat seemed like an ant colony. People on the dock discovered the emperor's flag, and at some point, the shouts of "Long Live" became loud.

This will be the first time that the Daxu dynasty launched a large-scale attack on the Liao Kingdom's mainland, but the way of war was completely different from previous dynasties.

... On the seaside at the southern end of the Liaodong Peninsula, the nearby Suzhou City of Liao Kingdom is sparsely populated. The center of this area is Fuzhou (Fu County), hundreds of miles away. The Grand Prince's Mansion of the Southern Jurchens and Tanghesi of the Southern Jurchens are all there; Suzhou City is just a dilapidated small town.

Several wooden boats were floating on the beach. The Jurchens in animal skins threw a fishing net into the water with force, staring at the sea with a harpoon in their hands.

The sea breeze and the sound of waves remained unchanged. It was a quiet morning, and the mist surging like smoke on the sea surface. At this moment, a "Ji Li" scream suddenly came.

The Jurchens on the boat looked up and immediately widened their eyes and stayed on the shaking board.

Three huge ships first came into view. The huge sails covered like clouds, and the yellow dragon flag on the ship was floating in the wind. After a while, more ships filled the sea, and the three columns were like geese on the sea.

The Jurchen fishermen hurriedly rowed a boat to escape to the beach, as if they had seen a monster.

Xu Jun's fleet gradually approached the seaside, and there was a dilapidated fishing village on the seaside. Behind the fishing village was a stream of dust, and a group of Liao cavalry had left the city and approached the seaside.

At this moment, the black shadow in the mist suddenly lit up like lightning, and a thunderous sound came. The savage fishermen in the fishing village were frightened and ran out in a mess.

Soon, rays of light flashed and thunder turned into a circle. Three big ships with the side strings sounded together, and ten-pound iron balls roared into the air. The houses in the fishing village suddenly collapsed in pieces, and earth, stones, and thatch flew everywhere.

Xu Jun also approached the seaside with a large number of light boats, and the sound of cannons of all sizes roared. The Liao cavalry on the beach held bows and arrows, waved iron spears and iron bones, and shouted there. At this time, an iron ball roared, hitting the soil on the beach with a "bang" and bounced up. The war horse next to him was frightened, snorted, and turned around and ran.

"Boom boom boom..." The lead ball of the mother-in-law's gun flew over the head. The Liao soldiers screamed and kept falling off the horse. A general raised his iron sword and waved it. Everyone turned his horse's head and ran northward to stay away from the iron balls and lead balls.

The sound of cannons on the sea surface sounded for several rounds. Many sand boats appeared on the beach. The people above took their paddles and rowed the sand boats to approach the beach. Then soldiers kept jumping off the sand boats and landed on the beach almost without resistance.

Seeing that the artillery on the large ship could hit the seaside, the Liao general did not dare to step forward again. With a command, he led his troops back to the city.

...The Xu army successfully landed on the beach without any injuries, and set up camp fortifications first. Seeing that more and more people and horses were increasing, the Liao army knew that they were defeated, so they hurriedly sent a fast horse to Fuzhou to inquire.

Fuzhou immediately made an emergency to Liaoyang Prefecture, the capital of the Eastern Dan Kingdom.

But at this time, Liaoyang Prefecture was already panicked. Because of Tiezhou and the military camp in the western Liaoning Corridor also sent people to make trouble. The Khan's tent was about to arrive at Liaoyang Prefecture again soon, and the various yamen in the Dongdan Kingdom were busy building a group.

The monarch and ministers in Yelu Xian's tent of the Great Liao camp gradually understood the movements of Xu's army from the news of Liaoyang: the Xu army had advanced from the western Liaoning Corridor, Tiezhou and Liaodong Peninsula, and launched a large invasion!

Some nobles advised that Liaoyang was no longer safe and that migration to Liaoyang should be stopped.

Xiao Siwen said: "The four fields of Liaoyang are flat and empty, just in line with the Daliao cavalry galloping. Xu's army is still dominated by infantry, which is not worth fearing."

Yelu Xian, 19 years old this year, asked directly: "Is there a way to retreat to the enemy?"

Xiao Siwen opened a picture, pointed to the city and mountain painted above, and said, "There are a total of thousands of people on the east side of the Xu army, and the main force is tens of thousands in the Liaoxi Corridor. Our army is waiting for labor in the hinterland of western Liaoning. We sent light cavalry all the way from Bazhou (Chaoyang) to cross Songling, breaking the Xu army's food route, and it is a dilemma."

Yelu Xizhen said calmly: "Even if the Xu army's food route can be cut off by land, the Xu army will transport grain and grass from sea to Liaoxi Fort."

Xiao Siwen was speechless.

A year ago, the people of Xu suddenly strengthened the Liaoxi Fort in Longshan, and the lonely city was there. Now they have finally determined the function of the fortress.

The great khan Yelu Xian, sitting on a large chair covered with tiger skin, held the scepter tightly in his hand, and sat there without saying a word. In the rough tent, all the ministers and nobles of the court were silent. Yelu Xizhen was pondering something, Xiao Siwen guessed that the Privy Council envoy wanted to negotiate peace...

Xiao Siwen stood up first and bowed to the superiors, saying, "Since Taizu founded the country, the nomadic tribes on the grassland to the west and the fishing and hunting tribes on the east have all surrendered to the Khitan. We are the kings on the grassland and the tigers in the jungle. If the tiger lowers its head to the sheep in the sheep pen, it will no longer be respected by the world."

Yelu Xizhen couldn't help but say, "The Southern people are not like people in the sheep pen... Mr. Xiao also said before that the Hun Khanate was destroyed by the Southern people and no longer existed."

Xiao Siwen said excitedly: "You have also seen many southern slaves. They are weak and timid. Are you willing to admit defeat to such people?"

Finally, some nobles started to shout in embarrassment, and someone shouted: "The vast grassland and boundless Konoha Mountain will be the cemetery of the southerners!"

Xiao Siwen took the opportunity to bow and said, "Khan, the Dongdan Kingdom Mansion can be moved from Liaoyang and rebuilt in Hukhan City, the ancient capital of Bohai Kingdom. Daliao avoids the frontier of the Xu army and is waiting for an opportunity to fight back!"
