Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

“We only sell the land to them.”

"Yes, Han people are fair-skinned and clean,"

"Take them back to warm our beds and have our babies,"

"Only then can our Wanyan tribe have a larger population."

"When the population increases,"

"Let's come back to the Central Plains and plunder the Han people again."

Seeing that everyone had agreed to sell Xijing, Wanyan Aguda nodded and said...

"Then we will lead our troops to Xijing,"

"Sell Xijing for a good price."

September 10th,

Zhao Yuan led his troops to Zhuozhou.

Zhao Yuan had already given the order in advance.

The soldiers at the front lines do not need to come from afar to greet them.

Upon arriving outside the city, Lin Chong, Zhang Kai, Shi Xiu, Liu Tang, Suo Chao, Guo Yaoshi, Zhu Tong, and other talents led the city's elders to welcome them.

Many people in the city came out to greet them.

After Zhuozhou came under the control of Daliang,

All corvée labor and agricultural taxes were abolished.

Only commercial taxes remain.

Moreover, many Khitans and Xi people fled north.

It left behind a large amount of land.

Like Ningxia Road, Zhuozhou also became a place for frontier immigrants.

Each person can be allocated twenty mu of land.

The people have benefited greatly.

Zhao Yuan accepted a banquet at the government office hosted by a group of civil officials and local gentry.

Then he led his generals to the military camp.

Zhao Yuan made everyone drink a bowl of hangover soup.

To dispel some of the effects of alcohol

"Have you ascertained the true situation of Nanjing Road?"

Lin Chong clasped his hands and said, "This matter is entirely thanks to General Guo's ever-victorious army."

"Let him report to King Liang."

Guo Yaoshi led the two prefectures of Zhuo and Yi back to Liang.

Zhao Yuan appointed Guo Yaoshi as a general.

The other commanders of the Ever Victorious Army were captains.

After Lin Chong led his troops north,

They didn't rush to let the Ever Victorious Army retire.

Instead, Guo Yaoshi was allowed to continue leading the Ever Victorious Army.

He was responsible for gathering intelligence on the situation in Nanjing.

The resentful army was initially formed by Yelü Chun recruiting starving people in Liaodong.

The resentful soldiers were mostly from the Central Capital Circuit.

They also fought in the Central Capital Region in their early years.

He was later transferred to Nanjing Road.

Therefore, the soldiers of the resentful army were very familiar with the geography of Zhongjing Road and Nanjing Road.

Pharmacist Guo could be said to be riding high on success.

Switch sides

Although their official ranks are similar

The troops under his command were still the same troops.

But the Great Liang was about to wipe out the Liao Kingdom.

One can achieve great things and establish a career in Daliang.

In the Liao Dynasty, it was considered a miracle if one could simply keep their life.

Pharmacist Guo stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said,

"After our dynasty refused the Liao dynasty's offer to lease the nine provinces of You and Ji,"

"Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao Dynasty appointed Xiao Gan as the commander-in-chief."

"Yelü Dashi was appointed as the Deputy Commander-in-Chief,"

"He led 35,000 troops to garrison Liangxiang,"

"Prepare to resist our country."

"Among them were 25,000 Xi people,"

"Ten thousand Khitans."

"Only two thousand Khitan soldiers remain in Nanjing,"

"The Han army has been transferred to the northern prefectures."

Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "The Liao Kingdom does have some clever people."

"They know the Han people will not fight for them."

Guo the Pharmacist said, "King Liang is wise."

"The Xi people are probably also losing touch with the Khitans,"

"The Xi tribes in Zhongjing Road have already surrendered to the Jin dynasty,"

"Xiao Gan was also arrogant and domineering,"

"After the Liao Dynasty fell, it no longer respected the Khitans."

Chapter 1849 Sending Troops

"When we face them, we only need to use our elite troops and generals to launch a fierce attack on the Xi people,"

"We can definitely force Xiao Gan to flee,"

"The remaining Khitans were unable to hold out on their own."

Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "General Guo is familiar with the affairs of the Liao Kingdom."

"This proposal is undoubtedly correct."

The group discussed for a while longer.

They decided to set off three days later.

Attack Liangxiang.

September 13th,

Zhao Yuan led an army of 60,000 on an expedition.

Hua Rong and Zhu Tong's 20,000 cavalry

Zhang Qing, Shi Xiu, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao led 40,000 infantrymen.

After Zhang Kai received the imperial edict ordering the dispatch of troops,

He then led the remaining 5,000 cavalrymen and moved the Hebei General's Office directly to Zhuozhou.

However, this time the troops were dispatched.

Zhang Kai, however, remained in Zhuozhou.

To prevent Xiao Gan and his men from launching a surprise attack on their rear.

Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi had no intention of defending Liangxiang.

Instead, they intended to intercept the Liang army in the plains south of Liangxiang.

Their 35,000 troops were all cavalry.

They can unleash their strongest fighting power on the plains.

There are spaceships monitoring from the air.

Zhao Yuan discovered the Liao army early on.

The Liao army had just begun to move when

The Liang army then formed a battle formation.

When Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi arrived with their cavalry, kicking up dust...

They were faced with the well-prepared and heavily armed Liang army.

Suo Chao's troops were the vanguard.

Hua Rong and Zhu Tong's troops were the left and right armies, respectively.

Zhang Qing and Shi Xiu's troops were the central army.

Liu Tang's troops were the rear army.

The two armies faced off.

Xiao Gan and Yelü Dashi dared not engage in a duel with the Liang generals again.

They also saw spaceships floating in the sky.

Knowing that a surprise attack on the Liang army was impossible,

The only option is to confront them head-on.

Seeing the tight formation of the Liang army,

Xiao Gan immediately backed down a bit.

To Yelü Dashi Road,

"I led my troops to attack the cavalry on both flanks,"

"You led your troops to break through the vanguard and directly attack the central army."

"I've broken through the cavalry on both flanks,"

"They will also attack the central army."

"As long as we can capture the King of Liang,"

"The crisis was thus resolved."

Yelü Dashi also felt that Han cavalry was easier to deal with than infantry.

The Han people's advantage lay in their powerful bows and crossbows.

Once a tight formation is formed,

The Liao cavalry dared not charge into their formation.

Although the Han people had cavalry,

But the Western Xia dynasty was destroyed in just one year.

All told, their cavalry had only been on horseback for about a year.
