Wu Dalang's Counterattack

Chapter 356 Dispatching troops!

For the Liao Kingdom, the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is a very important strategic location, as long as the Liao Kingdom can firmly occupy it.

That was of great help to the development of the Liao Kingdom, because the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were basically people from the Song Dynasty living there.

Therefore, this area is an advanced agricultural area, and its agriculture, handicrafts and other cultural activities are more developed than the Khitan headquarters area.

Therefore, the Khitan rulers paid enough attention to the importance of this area, and if they occupied it, if the Liao Kingdom wanted to go further in the future.

If they attacked the Song Dynasty and entered the Central Plains, then the Yanyun Sixteen States would be the bridgehead for their Liao Kingdom to conquer the Song Dynasty.

For Wu Ming, the Sixteen States of Yanyun must be taken back. In the past, it was because the Song State was weak.

The Song State did not have the ability to defeat the Liao State army, but it was different now.Now that he has traveled through time, how could he allow the Sixteen States of Yanyun to remain in the hands of the Liao Kingdom?

Wu Ming believed that with the special geographical location of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, if he hadn't used tricks, the two countries of Jin and Liao would have continued to dispute.

If the war continues, with the nature of the Liao Kingdom, when the national strength of the Liao Kingdom reaches a certain level, the Liao Kingdom will definitely send troops to attack the Song Dynasty from the springboard of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

In Wu Ming's view, the gains and losses of Yanyun's sixteen prefectures are related to the safety of a generation.The seven prefectures of You, Ji, Ying, Mo, Zhuo, Tan, and Shun of the sixteen prefectures are in the southeast of the northern branch of the Taihang Mountains.

It is called "before the mountain", and the rest of Kyushu is in the northwest of the mountain, called "behind the mountain".Today the Great Wall branches off from the east to the southwest of Juyongguan.

It stretches on the Taihang Ridge and joins the Great Wall to the west of Shuozhou. This is the Inner Great Wall.The Central Plains has lost its "mountain back", but there is still Yanmenguan Village of the Inner Great Wall that can be defended.

If the "mountain front" is lost, the Hebei fence will be completely withdrawn, and the Khitan cavalry can go straight to Heshuo along the open plain south of Youji.

If the Khitan cavalry from the Liao Kingdom were allowed to rush into the plains, then the people in the Heshuo area would suffer blood mold for eight lifetimes.

Even if he is invincible, so what, it is impossible for him to stare at this area at any time, and the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom will attack the Song Kingdom once.

It will cause a huge harm to the people of the Central Plains. Judging from the records of previous years, every time the Liao cavalry entered the Central Plains to fight the grass valley.

They all killed a group of Song people who dared to resist them, and then captured the Song people who did not dare to resist to Liao as slaves.

Regarding such a thing, Wu Ming would not let it happen again. Wu Mingxin said: Our own people in Song State are not enough.

Now that I have traveled through time, how could I let your Liao Kingdom continue to rob people in our Song Kingdom and make them slaves for you?

The national strength of our Song State is no longer as weak as before, and the combat power of our Song State's soldiers has also undergone earth-shaking changes compared with before.

In the past, I didn't come to attack your Liao country, because I, Wu Ming, hadn't come and freed up.And now are you ready to be slaves to our Great Song Dynasty?

No, I, Wu Ming, am a kind person and a person with very upright views. People like me don't want slaves.

Slaving is something only the exploiting class does. From now on, you Khitan people will be the labor force of our Song Dynasty.There is still a big difference between slaves and labor.

Now that Wu Ming's army has recovered Tanzhou, in Wu Ming's plan, not only the recovery of a state and county like Tanzhou can satisfy Wu Ming.

Wu Ming planned to destroy the Liao Kingdom. In Wu Ming's eyes, the soldiers sent by the Liao Kingdom to aid Tanzhou were just food sent to him by the Liao Kingdom.

Wu Ming knew how many powerful generals the Liao Kingdom could have.The generals led by Wu Ming on the expedition to Liao Kingdom this time did not have a first-class force value.

Based on the plot in the original work of Water Margin, Wu Ming knew that the Liao generals who came to aid Tanzhou this time were nothing more than:
Dongxian's servant, Yao'er Weikang, Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao brothers.These generals may be regarded as brave men in the Liao Kingdom.

But if they really faced Wu Ming's warriors, they really wouldn't be able to watch enough.Don’t say anything else.

Even if one of the Five Liangshan Tigers was randomly sent out, he could completely torture the four of them.Although Wu Ming knew the plot trend based on the principles of Water Margin.

These are the generals of the Liao army who came to assist Tanzhou this time, but just to be on the safe side, Wu Ming still asked the Rat Clan's intelligence personnel to inquire about the news.

Anyway, the Liao army will not be in a hurry to attack the city. As long as he has found out the news clearly on his own side, Wu Ming can send generals to deal with those Liao soldiers and Liao generals in a targeted manner.

It didn't take long for the intelligence personnel of the Rat Clan to pass back the news they had found out, and it was exactly as Wu Ming expected.

The generals who came to rescue Tanzhou were the four guys that Wu Ming guessed. Wu Ming curled his lips in disdain and said:

"There aren't a few powerful generals here, they're full of low-level guys, I don't even bother to watch their excitement.

Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, and Zhang Qing, the three of you led 2 people to capture those four guys back for me.

It's not that I underestimated them. I sent too many people. It really seemed that I was bullying them. It is enough for you three to catch them and four of them.

As for the Liao soldiers, don't worry. As the saying goes: capture the thief first and capture the king first.You just need to capture all these generals.

Those soldiers didn't have the heart to fight anymore. In the open area, if the soldiers of the Liao Army dispersed in a hurry.

They are really not easy to catch. The task I give you this time is to catch those four generals first.

As for those Liao soldiers, they can be captured as many as they can. "

The reason why Wu Ming sent these three people to fight against the four generals of the Liao Army, he also had a certain basis, although it is not impossible to win if he sent some generals to fight casually.

But maybe it was Wu Ming's inner reasons. The entire Water Margin world was turned into a mess by Wu Ming, in Wu Ming's subconscious mind.

Now that we have encountered a familiar plot, as long as it does not affect the final result.Then Wu Ming is still willing to let the plot develop in the original direction.

Wu Ming felt that he had to give Mr. Shi Naian some face. After all, it was his own time travel that changed the Water Margin world written by Mr. Shi Naian.

Then when encountering a familiar plot, it is better to complete the incident as far as possible according to the development of the original plot without affecting the overall situation.

In the original work of Water Margin, the development of events in this time period is that Guan Sheng and Lin Chong's Dongxian Shilang and Yao'er Weikang were defeated and fled.

As for Zhang Qing, who had no feather arrows, he injured two brothers, Yelu Guozhen and Yelu Guobao, with locust stones.

The only difference is that in the original book, the two brothers of Yelu's family died, but now, Wu Ming has confessed to three of them.

to live.This saved Brother Yelu's life.
