Chapter 274 Living and dying together

Things went very smoothly for Wang Yue. His navy easily destroyed the navy in the Bohai Bay of the Liao Kingdom, occupied Laizhou, Jinzhou, and quickly punished the corrupt officials. He then recruited a group of soldiers and horses on the spot to maintain the situation. Peace between the two places.

Wang Yue, with his men and horses, quickly rushed towards Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, attacking the city and territory along the way, with overwhelming force.

There was chaos on the Nanjing Road in the Liao Kingdom. When Wang Yue went to Jinzhou, the Murong family members who were following Wang Yue set off to inform Murong Fu to prepare for action.

When Wang Yue captured Jinzhou and Laizhou and attacked Zhongjing, Murong Fu also invaded Yundingzhou of the Liao Kingdom from Xixia and attacked the Liao Kingdom from the west.

At this time, the army of the Song Dynasty took action on the border between Song and Liao. They mobilized a large army to attack the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. At the beginning, the progress was smooth. The forward troops arrived at one time, less than a hundred miles away from Nanjing City of the Liao Kingdom. The place.

When the King of Xixia saw the territory of Liao Kingdom, swordsmen were raised everywhere, and he also organized his troops and horses, and arranged troops on the border, hoping to take advantage of the situation to rob.

Yelu Hongji had just become emperor and had not yet integrated all the tribes. The sudden outbreak of war plunged the Liao Kingdom into bitter fighting everywhere, and even Zhongjing came within Wang Yue's range.

Yelu Hongji did not dare to mobilize troops from Zhongjing and went to destroy Wang Yue's troops. In order to solve the crisis in Zhongjing, Yelu Hongji mobilized troops from Tokyo and came day and night.

However, Yelu Hongji didn't know that what Wang Yue was playing this time was to attack the east from the west. After he received the news and saw that Tokyo was empty, he quickly ordered his 19th uncle to lead his troops to attack Tokyo, while the navy controlled Along the Liao River, the Liao army was not allowed to return for reinforcements.

Uncle Nineteen was better at fighting than Wang Yue. He recruited surrenders and rebels along the way, and soon expanded his team. Under his command, the city of Tokyo fell in one go.

After the subsequent soldiers and horses landed from the sea one after another, Nineteen asked Wang Yue for instructions, and led the soldiers and horses all the way north. After successively conquering Shenzhou and Tongzhou, they quickly captured Huanglong Mansion, leaving all the way. While the soldiers and horses were stationed, he swept eastward to the foot of Changbai Mountain, making the territory controlled by Wang Yue connected into one area, which could be attacked when advancing and defended when retreating.

Murong Fu's side also went smoothly. He led 10,000 troops and quickly captured a large area of ​​Liao land on the south bank of the Yellow River. After seeing that it was profitable, he asked four generals to quickly lead his secret team, which totaled more than 8,000 people. He quickly gathered together with his 10,000 soldiers and captured a large area of ​​land north of the Yunding Great Wall in one fell swoop. He also recruited surrenders and rebels along the way. The team quickly grew in size, and the southwest of Liao Kingdom was also in chaos.

The Western Route Army of the Song Dynasty also took over the land south of the Great Wall. Together with the Central Route Army that left Zhending Prefecture, they encircled Datong Prefecture in Xijing.

It's just that the Eastern Route Army of the Song Dynasty was unstoppable in Hejian Prefecture at first. After encountering the main force of Qiao Feng's Nanyuan Army, it was defeated for a time and could no longer move forward. The war became a stalemate.

At this time, Yelu Hongji of the Liao Kingdom felt that although there were many soldiers and horses besieging Daliao this time, the real threat to the fate of Daliao was the Song army. As long as the Song army was defeated, the other armies would definitely collapse in an instant.

Therefore, even if Yelu Hongji received the news that Wang Yue's troops had captured Tokyo, he still asked various places to defend on the spot, while he sent the main force south to support Qiao Feng and Datong Prefecture.

In fact, this was the case. After the reinforcements from the Liao Army arrived, the Song army did not hold out for long before it was defeated across the board. Only the West Route Army in Hejian Prefecture could still unite with Murong's army to stabilize the situation along the Great Wall and threaten Datong. Outside the mansion, the troops of Zhending Mansion of the Middle Route Army have retreated to their original defense lines, while the East Route Army has retreated further and even lost some land. Hejian Mansion has become somewhat precarious.

However, after a steady stream of reinforcements arrived from the sea, Wang Yue directly controlled the land west of Changbai Mountain, east of Liaohe River, and south of Huanglong Mansion. Various tribes oppressed by the Khitans joined Wang Yue's troops one after another. After surrendering and accepting rebellion, The team expanded dramatically.

If the Song Dynasty could confront the Liao Kingdom for a longer period of time, Wang Yue could capture the entire Dading Mansion in Zhongjing in one fell swoop, and then join forces with Uncle Nineteenth's troops east of the Liao River to threaten Beijing.

However, just when Wang Yue was in his tent, studying how to expand his territory, Dahu suddenly walked in in a panic.

Wang Yue felt a little uneasy when he saw Dahu looking panicked. He didn't understand what had happened, so he quickly asked, "What's the matter?"

Dahu glanced at Zhao Jin, then suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a muffled voice, "I just received the news that Song and Liao are already preparing for peace negotiations. The envoys from the Liao Kingdom have arrived at Hejian Mansion. It is said that the Queen Mother intends to maintain the current Defense line, prepare to agree to this peace negotiation."

After Zhao Jin heard this, her face turned pale. She was not someone who was not familiar with military affairs. She knew very well that if Dahu's news was true, Wang Yue would be betrayed by Song Ting, and the outcome would be tragic.

Thinking of this, Zhao Jin stood up and said angrily, "I will go back to Tokyo right now. I will definitely convince my brother to continue the confrontation with Liao."

Wang Yue glanced at Dahu and Zhao Jin with a headache. He knew that Dahu was only concerned and confused, and was a little angry at Zhao Jin. And even if Zhao Jin returns to the capital now, it will be of no use at all.

Wang Yue suddenly felt a little decadent. In this world, he finally didn't have salted fish, but he worked hard and wanted to help the Song Dynasty destroy the Liao Dynasty so that the Song Dynasty could survive for a few more years. But he didn't expect it to be like this. ending.

At this time, Zhao Jin, who had already reached the entrance of the camp, glanced at the decadent Wang Yue. She suddenly stopped and walked back.

Zhao Jin felt that it would be the most hurtful if she left Wang Yue at this time, and she would not allow herself to do this.

Zhao Jin walked up to Wang Yue, looked at Wang Yue seriously and said, "I won't go back. Let's negotiate peace between Song and Liao. I will accompany you to live and die together!"

Wang Yue looked at Zhao Jin's childish but majestic face, and his heart felt warm.

At this moment, Wang Yue suddenly figured it out. He felt a little stupid. What was he afraid of? Since the Song Dynasty cannot be relied on, then rely on yourself to create a world.

Thinking of this, Wang Yue looked at Zhao Jin with a smile and said, "Then we will live and die together!"

Zhao Jin's little hand also took the initiative to hold Wang Yue's hand for the first time. In this era, being able to make this action shows that Zhao Jin has made a lot of determination.

Wang Yue figured it out and immediately said to Dahu, "Reorganize the troops and prepare to retreat to Jinzhou, and then mobilize the troops in Laizhou to retreat to Jinzhou. We are preparing to retreat to the east of the Liaohe River and rely on the superiority of the navy to stabilize the east of the Liaohe River. Notice, after we withdraw, blow up all the bridges on the Liao River."

When Wang Yue's entire army retreated eastward, he was preparing to find a way out. Murong Fu was so angry that he cursed his mother. He had put all his chips on the line this time, preparing to occupy a piece of land to establish Dayan when he dismembered the Liao Kingdom.

However, the Song Dynasty was so dissatisfied that it even wanted to negotiate for peace at this time, and did not even have the courage to persist any longer.

Murong Fu was also a decisive man. He hesitated for a while, then quickly recalled four generals, led all the troops and horses, and prepared to withdraw to the west. He planned to withdraw to the south of the Yellow River, defend along the river, and then rely on Xixia to resist the Liao Kingdom.

Wang Anli sighed when he heard the news in Yongxing Army. He got the news that Wang Yue's forces were approaching Zhongjing with overwhelming force. He did not expect that the group of people in the court would give up this good opportunity to take over Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for the sake of small profits.

However, at this time, the Song Dynasty has obviously given up on Wang Yue. It is really difficult for him to decide where the Wang family should go now. He is already old and may not be able to hold on for a few days before he may be buried. Wang Yue is the future of the Wang family. , was abandoned by the Song Dynasty.

Wang Anli thought about it and quickly made a decision. He asked his eldest grandson to hand over all the secret guards of the Wang family to Wang Yue. He then escorted dozens of ships of supplies from the Wang family and took Wang Yue's mother with him. Together they went to Liaodong to join Wang Yue.

Then, Wang Anli wrote a letter back to his hometown in Fuzhou, asking the clan elders to expel Wang Yue and his eldest grandson from the Wang family in Fuzhou. If Wang Yue could not gain a foothold in the Northeast with this support, he would At least keep the family.

Several girls at Piaomiao Peak were a little worried when they heard about Wang Yue's situation. They had been cheering for the great performance a few days ago. Not long after, the situation took a turn for the worse, which was a bit shocking.

Mu Wanqing thought for a long time and decided to take the guards assigned to her by Wang Yue and head to Liaodong together. She couldn't wait here.

When Mu Wanqing secretly went down the mountain, she found at the foot of Piaomiao Peak that all the nine tribes of the Nine Heavens of Lingjiu Palace had gathered at the foot of the mountain. The four maidservants, accompanied by Wang Yuyan, Azi, Zhongling, and Abi, were waiting for Mu Wan at the foot of the mountain. clear.

Mu Wanqing looked at a few people in shock, and immediately understood what everyone meant. She said with some emotion, "You and I are going to Liaodong?"

After hearing Mu Wanqing's words, Abi smiled and said, "Young Master is very kind to A Bi. A Bi wants to go to Liaodong to accompany Young Master."

Zhong Ling was not worried at all. She said with a smile, "Let's go and accompany Brother Wang. We really can't beat him. Let's take Brother Wang's big boat together and go directly back to Dali. Let him be the son-in-law of Dali obediently."

Wang Yuyan nodded and said nothing, but judging from her thoughts, she should have the same thoughts as Zhong Ling. After all, Wang Yue had many masters under his command, and if he wanted to leave, no one would be able to keep them.

Ah Zi said excitedly, "I'm an expert in using poison. I went to Liaodong. Maybe I can help. Let's go quickly."

Mu Wanqing looked at the sisters and said with a smile, "Let's go, I can't let that girl Zhao Jin be more beautiful than before. She hasn't returned to the capital yet. She wants to live and die with Wang Yue. Neither do I." Those who are greedy for life and afraid of death.”

Several girls laughed when they saw Mu Wanqing's jealous look, and the atmosphere in the team became less chilling.
