Chapter 209 The Highest Honor for a Woman in the Xiao Family Is to Marry the Emperor (Three in One)

Xu Yian failed to grasp it after all.

It's not that I'm not sure at all, but I'm definitely not completely sure.

It wasn't until Wang Yi came to his aid that Dong Huang was able to nod and bow.

However, those conquered trophies were lucky enough to escape.

Dong Huang didn't care at all.

Dong Huang doesn't mind giving them dignity if they are willing to die for their country, but if they don't have the courage, Dong Huang won't be polite to them.

Human history has always been like this. The fate of the conquered has always been doomed. Conquerors like Dong Huang are unprecedentedly merciful.

After all, Dong Huang did not carry out genocide, nor did he even treat them as cruelly as the Jin Kingdom did.

Dong Huang took out the whip and rope, maybe just for fun and not really cruel; but if the Jinren took out the whip and rope, someone would definitely die miserably.

Dong Huang, who was in a sage state, returned to his usual caution.

He suddenly felt that it would not be a good thing to go to Beijing with him far away from the main force for a long time. After all, the trustworthy troops around him now were only 150,000, of which the Tiger Army was less than 80,000.

Without hundreds of thousands of loyal troops around him, Dong Huang felt a little insecure again.

Dong Huang decided to go home early and take the prisoners back with him. The few who should be divided should be given to Xiao Pu Xiannu, Mrs. Liu and Princess Tianshou first. Dong Huang felt that it would be more interesting.

Of course, it would be more interesting if we could capture Emperor Liao Tianzuo and his remaining concubines.

Dong Huang generously indulged Lu Yanlun's petty thoughts, or in other words, neither Dong Huang nor Jia Xu cared about Lu Yanlun's petty thoughts.

Lu Yanlun didn't know about the Infinite War Space, nor did he know the love between Dong Huang and Jia Xu and the relationship between father and son. For Jia Xu, even if he killed his two sons, he would not betray Dong Huang. In this case Now, Lu Yanlun's little thoughts seem ridiculous.

However, Lu Yanlun was willing to massacre the Liao nobles as a token of submission, and Dong Huang was naturally willing to reuse him.

Dong Huang appointed Lu Yanlun as the governor of Shangjing, with a rank of third rank, responsible for guarding Shangjing to conquer the nearby tribes that refused to comply, and left him an army of 50,000 servants, with Xiao Puxian's younger brother Xiao Bili and nephew Xiao Yanliu as deputy generals.

Xiao Dili and Xiao Yanliu cooperated with Yelu Zhangnu in history and planned to make Yelu Chun emperor, but they were blocked by Yelu Chun.

In this time and space, during Dong Huang's risk-taking battle to seize Yanjing, Xiao Dili escorted Yelu Chun, who was naked and didn't even want his wife, to escape to Yuguan, and then was taken advantage of by Zhang Jue.

After the whole family became prisoners of Dong Huang, Xiao Dili and his nephew Xiao Yanliu wanted to surrender. All they needed was a step, and Xiao Pu Xiannu quickly gave them this step.

To this day, the Xiao family, the imperial family of the Liao Kingdom, has branched into many branches. Any clan or minister named Yelu in the Liao Kingdom will definitely marry a woman named Xiao.

Therefore, for the men of the Xiao family, it does not matter who their sisters, aunts and nieces marry, as long as they marry the royal family, and Dong Huang, the emperor who chased Yelu Yanxi and ran away with his head in his arms, is obviously better than Yelu Chun, the lost dog. More worthy of allegiance.

The highest honor for a woman of my Xiao family is to marry the emperor!

Marry whoever is the emperor!

——

Zhongjing.

Yeluyu panicked.

He did not expect Yelu Yanxi to arrive so quickly, so fast that he did not have time to control the army in Zhongjing.

Knowing that the situation was not good, Yelu Yujian still wanted to escape, but was captured alive by Zhongjing and presented to Yelu Yanxi.

Under Xiao Fengxian's persuasion, Yelu Yanxi originally had the idea of ​​using Yelu Yujian as a scapegoat. Now she could no longer bear it and directly ordered the execution of Yelu Yujian and his consort Xiao Yu, and at Xiao Fengxian's suggestion, he used the crime as a scapegoat. His biological son, Jin King Yelu Ao Luo, was hanged in his name.

Yelu Yanxi even wanted to kill Yelu Ao and Luo's mother, his concubine Xiao Sese, but after searching around, he found that his concubine Wen and other female family members had been left behind by him on the way to Beijing or on the way to escape. Now The only female relatives around him were his queen Xiao Duolilan and his eldest daughter Yelu Yabuli.

This scene made Yelu Yanxi feel sad.

Where is my huge harem?

However, Yelu Yanxi soon couldn't care less about her sorrow, because Huang Zhong's army was already chasing him.

"What can be done?"

Yelu Yanxi was at a loss.

The troops he brought plus the troops left behind in Zhongjing only numbered 50,000 to 60,000, which was no better than Huang Zhong's troops. Although Huang Zhong's troops did not have the ability to attack fortresses, Yelu Yanxi did not have the courage to fight decisively with them.

"..."

Xiao Fengxian was also a little helpless.

Although he succeeded in killing political enemies Yelu Yujian and King Jin, the problem now is that her sister Xiao Gui brother has also been thrown away.

What frightened him even more was that he didn't know any general who could stop Dayu's army.

"How about going to Tokyo?"

Xiao Fengxian really wanted to say this, but he didn't dare to say it.

He is still self-aware, and he is afraid that if he talks about running away again, he will be the next scapegoat.

Xiao Fengxian kept silent, but Xiao Ximo couldn't help it when he knew that Prince Xi's palace was in trouble: "Why should your Majesty be panic? The Yu army follows the brave, but how can they conquer the vast grassland in ten months? We in Daliao have Khitans, Liao people, and Tatars The loyal tribesmen and tribesmen are always willing to fight against Dong's thieves for your majesty! The Yu army has only occupied Shangjing and a few other towns. Does it have any control over the vast grassland? "

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to order all the grassland tribes to jointly attack Dong Huang's army!"

"It has never been heard of that the Han people can occupy the grassland for a long time!"

"Your Majesty, please do not worry about the gains and losses of a city or a place, win the hearts of the people, and wait until winter comes to fight the Dong thief again!"

Xiao Ximo's words were sonorous, and he analyzed the situation quite clearly.

However, Yelu Yanxi seemed to have only heard the first half of the last sentence.

"My dear minister, what you said makes sense. Our Liao Dynasty has a vast territory and millions of soldiers. How can we be afraid of a few southern barbarians!"

Yelu Yanxi said with high spirits: "Pass the order to summon the tribes in all directions to serve the king. Killing a soldier of the Yu Kingdom will exempt one year's tax burden, and those who kill five people will be centurions!"

Yelu Yanxi was quite "generous".

"In addition, I will go to Tokyo to win the hearts of the people, and Zhongjing will be handed over to you, Xiao Qing! As long as you hold on until winter, I will lead a million troops to defeat the enemy!"

Yelu Yanxi said with confidence, patting Xiao Ximo's shoulder.

Xiao Ximo:...

I%#x-on:*!

"I will die to repay your majesty!"

Xiao Ximo blushed and thanked him.

So, Yelu Yanxi happily decided to hunt in Tokyo. However, when Xiao Fengxian passed by Xiao Ximo, he looked at him meaningfully and suddenly said behind Yelu Yanxi: "Your Majesty, I want to ask Xiao Ximo if he has a beautiful and virtuous sister. Why not marry her? Xiao Ximo has an only son who is very smart. Why not keep him by your side as a guard?"

Xiao Fengxian's words made Xiao Ximo's face pale instantly, but Yelu Yanxi was very happy.

Yelu Yanxi was not happy that there was a new woman in the harem, but that he realized his omission just now: what if Xiao Ximo, a foreign Xi, surrendered?

If Xiao Ximo's sister was married and his only son was captured, would Xiao Ximo still surrender?

"What do you think, my dear?"

Yelu Yanxi looked at Xiao Ximo with a smile.

"It is my honor for my minister and my sister to serve Your Majesty."

Xiao Ximo looked grateful and said, "I would like to send my sister to Your Majesty's bedroom tonight."

"Okay, okay, send them here quickly, and it won't be too late to enter the palace when we arrive in Tokyo."

Yelü Yanxi was unwilling to wait even for one night, and wanted to leave immediately.

However, Yelu Yanxi, who was reminded by Xiao Fengxian, did not forget to win people's hearts this time.

Yelü Yanxi laughed and said, "I will confer you the title of King of Xi!"

Afterwards, perhaps to calm the shock caused by the killing of King Jin and Yelu Yudu, Yelu Yanxi ordered again: "Xiao Degong will be tested as the Minister of the Secretariat, and Xiao Gan will be the General of the State."

"I will let my sister enter the palace now."

Xiao Ximo also looked like he was eager to be loyal to Yelu Yanxi, and hurriedly left the palace.

"Call the guards, bring the prince here, and then quickly follow me to open the city gate and let the Yu army enter the city!"

As soon as he left the palace, Xiao Ximo immediately said to his confidants.

Xiao Ximo was a Xi, with a group of people who were loyal to him but not necessarily to the Liao Dynasty and a group of guards who were only loyal to him.

The guards did not say much and immediately took the order and left. Soon, hundreds of guards and Xiao Ximo's son came to Xiao Ximo's side. Xiao Ximo opened the city gate without saying a word.

Huang Zhong was worried that the enemy was cheating, but Xiahou Yuan was willing to lead his troops to find out. As a result, after a test, almost no one in the entire Zhongjing resisted.

Yelu Yanxi, who heard the shouting and killing, did not even want the queen and daughter this time, and fled again at a high speed. With Xiahou Yuan's speed, even if he activated his skills, he did not even smell Yelu Yanxi's fart.

"If the Liao Lord is a general, he will be able to travel a thousand miles a day and achieve unprecedented achievements!"

Xiahou Yuan said with envy.

Xiahou Yuan's domain skills are similar to Yan Xing's, both of which can reduce fatigue and speed up the march of his cavalry troops. However, even so, he cannot compare with Yelu Yanxi.

So, when Dong Huang brought the main force to Zhongjing, Yelu Yanxi's palace in Zhongjing had been packed up, and Yelu Yanxi's queen Xiao Duolilan had been waiting for many days.

Xiao Duolilan wore the crown of the Liao queen inlaid with countless jewels, holding the red lacquer screen, and sat beside the golden statue with dignity. She was already in her early forties, and her face was not young, but she was still charming.

It is said that a woman in her middle age still has charm. Although she has not yet reached the age of a woman in her middle age, she is slightly better in mature charm, especially in the dress of a queen, which makes people feel swayed.

The pensive Xiao Duolilan did not notice Dong Huang's arrival. She lamented that she was abandoned by the emperor and did not know what tragic fate she would face in the future. The resentment she unconsciously revealed made people feel pity and blasphemy.

"The queen must have been waiting for a long time!"

Dong Huang came to Xiao Duolilan.

The image of Xiao Duolilan reminded him of Empress Dowager He.

To be honest, compared with Empress Wei, Empress Dowager He and Xiao Duolilan were more likely to arouse Dong Huang's interest.

"Ah~"

Xiao Duolilan was startled, and immediately realized that the person who decided her fate had come.

"The guilty concubine Xiao Duolilan greets His Majesty~"

Xiao Duolilan bent her noble waist and lowered her noble head.

"No need to do that, I still like you when you are the most majestic as an empress!"

Dong Huang raised Xiao Duolilan's chin: "Come, tell me how Yelu Yanxi handles government affairs here, you talk in front, and I listen in the back!"

——

Xu Huang was defeated.

Just when Dong Huang was trying to spy on the secrets of the Liao Dynasty, Xu Huang tasted the bitter fruit of defeat for the first time.

The troops led by Xu Huang suffered heavy losses, and his 4,000-man Xiliu Camp, which barely kept up with the version after upgrading its equipment, was almost wiped out.

The one who defeated him was Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Wanyan Aguda, known as the "Second Prince". In history, Wanyan Zongwang attacked the Song Dynasty twice and captured Emperors Huizong and Qinzong.

In the early stage, the news that Xu Huang occupied Baozhou was not concealed for too long.

As the Mandate of Heaven dynasty of this era, there were countless war agents in the territory of the Jin Dynasty. Although most of them were in the deep mountains and forests, this also gave them the courage to release the main city.

Many war agents were eager to lick Wanyan Aguda's boots, but their military power was taken away. However, more had other ideas, such as copying the path of the Jin Dynasty or creating a despicable gimmick of the Seven Great Hates to start an army, such as entering the Korean Kingdom to dominate the country, and even worse, planning to go through the Bering Strait to America to fight a crushing game.

Among the many options, fighting the Koreans is undoubtedly the easiest.

As we all know, the natives of the Koreans have no fighting power most of the time except when they brag.

Everyone wants to go to the Korean country to be a father.

However, when more than a dozen war agent troops who tried to go through Baozhou to enter Goryeo were taught a lesson by Dong Huang, they finally realized that something was wrong.

Things have changed, find a new father!

So, a war agent passed the intelligence to the Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Aguda was a great leader. Although he was injured and lying on the sickbed, his flexible mind was not affected.

Although the war agent did not know who the enemy was, since it was not the Liao people, it was most likely the army of the Yu people.

As for the Goryeo army, sorry, he had experienced the fighting power of the Goryeo army. To be frank, if he was given about 3,000 soldiers, he could defeat the Goryeo army of 200,000 directly.

Wanyan Aguda was so confident.

It was not the Liao Dynasty, it was not the Goryeo Dynasty, it was naturally the most unlikely Dayu.

Wanyan Aguda didn't know much about Dayu's intelligence, but he knew very well that Dayu had no good intentions in crossing the sea to capture Baozhou.

Wanyan Aguda decided to pull out this nail in the rear first, and then go all out to defeat the Liao Dynasty, and finally fight a decisive battle with Dayu and even the Song Dynasty.

But before capturing Baozhou, he had more important things to do.

He wanted to reform the military system.

Long before he started his rebellion against the Liao Dynasty, Wanyan Aguda had established the Meng'an Mouke system, with 300 households as Mouke, and 10 Moukes as Meng'an. Meng'an was a thousand-man leader, and Mouke was a hundred-man leader.

However, this system is very superficial, just an emergency product in the tribal era. Now that there are more troops and some war agents are instigating, Aguda decided to establish a more complete Meng'an Mouke system, with the Jurchens as the backbone, and the surrendered soldiers of officials and civilians from the Khitan, Xi, Han, Bohai, Liao-related Jurchens, Shiwei, Dalugu, Wuer, Tieli tribes, and the troops annexed from some war agents as flesh and blood, to form a new Meng'an Mouke system.

Under this system, each Mouke has 80 regular soldiers and 40 auxiliary soldiers, and each Meng'an has 1,000 regular soldiers and 500 auxiliary soldiers. Above Meng'an, there are 10,000 households, and the commander has 1,000 elite troops directly under him, and 10 Meng'an.

Wanyan Aguda plans to build 20 such Wanhu!

If this is a game, the moment Wanyan Aguda perfects the Meng'an Mouke system, it should be broadcast to the world: the Meng'an Mouke system of the Great Jin Kingdom is officially established, the speed of recruiting soldiers of the Great Jin Kingdom is increased by 100%, the morale of the army is full, and the combat effectiveness of the army is increased by 50%...

In short, it is a comprehensive strengthening.

Xu Huang encountered such an army.

After Xu Huang received the news that Dingzhou City, the only one of the three cities in Baozhou on the north bank of the Yalu River, was besieged, he personally led his elite troops to cross the river for support.

Xu Huang did not make the mistake of being attacked halfway across the river, but was defeated by three Wanhu led by Wanyan Zongwang in the battle under Dingzhou City. Xu Huang defeated Wanyan Zongwang and entered Dingzhou City at the cost of almost annihilating the Xiliu Camp.

Dingzhou City had been transformed into a barracks by Xu Huang, with tens of thousands of troops in it. Together with Xu Huang's troops, there were already more than 17,000 troops. Xu Huang believed that defending the city was not a problem, but he still cautiously passed on the information to Fa Zheng.

Because Xu Huang found that the enemy he encountered was completely different from the previous one.

Although Xu Huang's third-level soldier Xiliu Camp was behind the era version, it could be used as a fourth-level soldier after updating its equipment, and its morale was extremely high and extremely tenacious, but this still could not stop the enemy's attack.

This means that the enemy is a force that can compete with the core elite of Dong Huang's army, and is no longer the vassal army of the Song Dynasty or Goryeo that collapses at the first touch.

Fa Zheng, who received the news, attached great importance to it. On the one hand, he sent the intelligence and the little emperor of Goryeo and his mother and sisters to Haojing, and on the other hand, he asked Xu Huang to cross the river after defeat to see if he could attract the enemy across the Yalu River.

Now that the water level of the Yalu River has risen, once the enemy crosses the river, Fa Zheng can rely on the advantage of the navy to cut off the enemy's retreat and catch the turtle in the jar.

For this reason, Fa Zheng specifically informed Zhou Tai's navy to help, and sent the three brothers of the Wu family who were used by the emperor to Baozhou, ready to close the door and beat the dog at any time.

After that, Fa Zheng once again accelerated the sweep of the war agents in Goryeo.

To be honest, the war agents in Goryeo are not strong, but there are too many people and it is annoying. The key is that Goryeo's vassal army is not strong enough.

In Fa Zheng's opinion, these vassal soldiers were just civilians, nothing more. They were not even as good as the vassal soldiers of Yingzhou.

After eating food that was one-tenth of the level of the Dayu Tiger Soldiers, the vassal soldiers of Yingzhou were grateful and brave in charging into battle! Fa Zheng couldn't help but wonder if these guys thought that eating some meat was a farewell meal for the first to die.

However, it is true that poor mountains and bad waters produce elite soldiers. Fa Zheng decided to offer advice to Dong Huang to recruit more Yingzhou soldiers who are easy to feed and dare to die. These people may not be good at field battles, but they are qualified to be the lowest-level boatmen, cannon fodder for sieges and mountain battles, and even to enter the palace as eunuchs.

Recently, Fa Zheng, who was backstabbed by Hua Xiong, Zhou Tai and other idiots, has begun to think about a question: since the hatred value between the lord's harem and himself has been fixed at negative, why not find something for the harem, especially the harem ladies, to do? For example, send some eunuchs to the palace and let them compete for power with them.

For the civil and military officials under Dong Huang, it is actually much better for Dong Huang to use eunuchs than female officials. After all, if eunuchs dare to mess up politics, there are plenty of reasons to kill them; but if a hen crows at dawn, the civil and military officials have to think twice, after all, that is your majesty's woman!

Fa Zheng felt that his actions this time would definitely win praise from the civil and military officials.

Fa Zheng's confidence did not infect Xu Huang this time.

Xu Huang rejected Fa Zheng's strategy of deliberately losing the battle to lure the enemy deep into the city.

After many attempts, Xu Huang found that Wanyan Zongwang was not a simple opponent. He even guessed that Wanyan Zongwang had been thinking of besieging and attacking the reinforcements until now.

Xu Huang, who has the style of Zhou Yafu, is not the stupid generals in the novels who can't fight without the prime minister's tricks. He has his own unique vision and views.

He felt that the only chance to completely wipe out Wanyan Zongwang was not to lure the enemy deep into his territory, because Wanyan Zongwang would not easily fall for the trick, and Xu Huang would not sacrifice his real elite troops just to gain Wanyan Zongwang's trust.

Xu Huang's elite troops were not just the backward version of the Xiliu Camp that was almost completely wiped out. In fact, the defeat of the Xiliu Camp was just a smokescreen that Xu Huang deliberately threw out because he was not absolutely sure of completely annihilating Wanyan Zongwang's troops.

Xu Huang still had 3,000 Tiger Guard Heavy Infantry and 3,000 Tiger Guard Iron Cavalry under his command that had not been used. Although most of them were fourth-level, after the equipment in this world was upgraded, especially after all the Tiger Guard Heavy Infantry were equipped with infantry armor, they could be used as fifth-level soldiers. These talents were the most elite forces under Xu Huang.

Xu Huang would never be willing to easily sacrifice such elite troops. If he did not sacrifice the elite troops, the so-called strategy of luring the enemy would probably be seen through by Wanyan Zongwang, and eventually Wanyan Zongwang would not cross the Yalu River, but take advantage of the situation to occupy and build Dingzhou City.

For the Jin army, using Dingzhou City to block the Dayu army in the direction of Goryeo can also achieve strategic goals.

After all, the primary strategy of the Jin army has always been to annex the Liao Kingdom. Goryeo, with its barren land and poor people, has never been the first choice of the Jin army. The Jin army would attack Baozhou only because they were afraid of being attacked from both sides.

Xu Huang believed that the only chance for the Dayu army to completely annihilate Wanyan Zongwang was to let the army on the south bank of the Yalu River cross the river, giving Wanyan Zongwang a chance to surround and attack the reinforcements halfway across the river.

Xu Huang believed that Wanyan Zongwang would definitely seize this opportunity.

The fight here is still about information asymmetry.

Xu Huang believed that after seeing the fighting spirit and equipment of the Xiliu Camp, Wanyan Zongwang would definitely think that the Xiliu Camp was Xu Huang's biggest trump card and the most elite unit of the Dayu Army before confronting the Huben Army head-on.

This would cause Wanyan Zongwang to misjudge the strategy.

When Wanyan Zongwang surrounded the point and attacked the reinforcements, such a strategic misjudgment would be fatal!

Xu Huang told Fa Zheng about his strategic conception.

Although Fa Zheng was vindictive, he was not intolerant of people with different opinions, nor did he feel offended. As a thriving emerging force, the Dayu Empire had not yet grown to the point where various factions suppressed and harmed each other.

Therefore, Fa Zheng did not use the tactic of killing with a borrowed knife that literati liked, pretending to agree with Xu Huang's opinion to trick Xu Huang out, and then refusing to send reinforcements, killing Xu Huang with the help of the Jin Army, etc., but directly handed over the command of the Three Wu and other units to Xu Huang.

To put it bluntly, as long as Fa Zheng was still the commander-in-chief, no matter how well Xu Huang fought, his contribution would be indispensable.

Fa Zheng would not make a fool of himself.

This allowed Xu Huang to calmly arrange his battle plan.

Not long after, Wu Ban drove 40,000 of the tallest Goryeo vassal troops who could barely wear the uniforms of the Dayu Army across the river to support Dingzhou City.

Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed when he saw this, and was busy discussing with his two commanders, Wanyan Xigunai and Wanyan Poluhuo.

As Xu Huang expected, Wanyan Zongwang's strategic goal was to make the Dayu Army unable to move north, so that the Jin Army would have enough time to occupy Liaodong Dongdao and even a wider area, and achieve a qualitative leap.

In order to achieve this goal, it doesn't matter whether it is to seize Baozhou or completely eliminate the mobile force of the Dayu Army. In the case of not affecting the grand strategy, it doesn't matter even if Goryeo is destroyed.

However, what Xu Huang didn't expect was that the Jin army was not as strong as he imagined. The elite who defeated the Xiliu Camp before could not represent the true level of the Jin army!

The reason is very simple. Before the Battle of Hubu Dagang, the Jin Kingdom had only 20,000 to 30,000 troops. Although it absorbed some of the troops of the war agents, those troops were not very elite, obedient, or useful, and could only be used as cannon fodder.

This also led to the fact that it was not easy for Wanyan Aguda to expand 20 million households. Before the battle with Xu Huang, there were only 70,000 to 80,000 Jurchens and 70,000 to 80,000 people from other ethnic groups, and the combat effectiveness did not achieve a qualitative improvement.

Twenty million households are still in a rudimentary state with insufficient personnel.

Although Wanyan Zongwang had three million households, his total number of troops was only over 20,000, and the Jurchens were only about 7,000. The rest were all miscellaneous troops from various ethnic groups.

Wanyan Zongwang was able to almost completely wipe out Xu Huang's Xiuli Camp. Wanyan Zongwang also mobilized the main force of the Jurchens, and suffered casualties of more than a thousand Jurchens and more than 2,000 ordinary soldiers.

The casualty rate of one tenth was also considered a serious injury.

I made myself a braised pork tonight, and after eating it, I had vomiting and diarrhea. I am now receiving an IV in the hospital...
