Huzhou is the last obstacle in the south of Shangjing.

This city is located between mountains and waters, and the terrain is dangerous. There is only one mountain post road that leads to Shangjing in the north.

In other words, Bo, Long and Huzhou are lined up from north to south, Bozhou is the northern gate of Shangjing, and Huzhou is the southern gate, which runs through it by a north-south post road.

It is correct for the people of Bohai to intercept in Huzhou. You can't put people under the capital, right? What kind of discipline does that mean?

But they overestimated their strength. Perhaps there was nothing to do. There was no difference between dying early and dying late. It would be better to fight to see how lucky you are.

However, fighting in battle formations is a matter of fighting in battle, and those who are desperate to survive because of good luck are rare. It rains today, but it is not conducive to the impact of the cavalry of Daxia, and it is considered good luck. However, in the battle of the infantry array, they are still defeated at once, and they are defeated miserably. About 20,000 imperial guards were beheaded on the spot and captured nearly 5,000 people were captured. Only a few thousand remaining defeated soldiers were left. Even Huzhou did not dare to defend, and they collapsed all the way back to Shangjing.

Their failure also greatly affected the morale of the Huzhou defenders. Inspired by the governor's wealth, the defenders tried their best to persevere, but they only lasted for a long time. Then they were jointly attacked by the besieged Tielin Army, Tiande Army, Guards and other units.

Fu Cunshen did not stay here for a long time. That night, he sent a group of three thousand guards to the north and went to Shangjing in the dark and rain.

The main force rested for one night and continued to march on June 14th. Two days later, the Luoyan Army also broke through various obstacles, and led more than ten villages to the north of Shangjing. The 100,000 troops surrounded him.

"The master wrote a missed the last chance to escape." Zheng Yong, the man of the Tielin Army, said: "The last general has just interrogated several prisoners, and they all say that the lord of the Bohai Kingdom has been huddled into the city and is in panic all day long."

"How many soldiers are there in the city?" Fu Cun asked.

His eyes were bent on the acropolis in the west of the city. The personal guards arrived one day earlier than them. In one battle, they conquered the city and beheaded more than 300 levels. Then they repelled an attack from the Bohai people and steadily defended the west of the city.

Near the Acropolis are large areas of forbidden gardens and palaces where Bohai Kings are entertaining, which have fallen under the control of the guards' personal army.

"The Tianmen army has 10,000 troops, plus the more than 4,000 imperial guards who fled back, less than 15,000. I heard that the Bohai king has collected thousands of powerful slaves, and has been charged into the army. He went to the temple to plunder money and reward him. Now he should raise 20,000 people." Zheng Yong replied.

"It's just 20,000 pigs!" Fu Cunshen smiled contemptuously.

Respect is achieved. As for the people of Bohai, Fu Cunshen cannot be respected. Speaking of which, the country of Bohai has been learning from the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether it fits its own national conditions. From the early Tang Dynasty to Emperor Gaozong, it was the highlight of the government soldiers, so Bohai learned from the Tang Dynasty and established the government soldiers.

Starting from the Empress of Wu, the military system of the government gradually became corrupt, and the recruitment system began to be implemented during the Xuanzong period. Because of its inertia, the Bohai Kingdom was a little later than the Tang Dynasty's military system reform, but at this time, some recruitment gradually appeared, mostly in frontier military towns.

After the Anshi Rebellion, the Bohai Kingdom saw the Tang Dynasty's central imperial guards show their skills, so it also began to establish the "Son of Emperor's Personal Army".

During the reign of Emperor Wenzong of Tang Dynasty, the king of Bohai Kingdom, Da Yi Zhen, was named the King of Bohai. The envoy Wang Zongyu went to Bohai. After returning, he reported that the Bohai Sea "set the left and right Shen Ce Army, the left and right three armies, and one hundred and twenty divisions."

You see, even the name is the same as the imperial guards of the Tang Dynasty. The brainless energy of learning is amazing. It is comparable to Japan, regardless of whether its national conditions are in line with it.

In the battle of Hukhanhai, most of the Bohai Imperial Army was destroyed, and the fate was similar to that of the Shence Army. I didn’t know what to say. “Quanjian quickly attacked the siege equipment, and the saint had already set off and could not be delayed.” Fu Cunshen ordered.

"Master, do you want to send someone to surrender?" Zheng Yong asked. "Master is willing to surrender?" Fu Cunshen was a little disbelief.

"If the troops are at the city, there may be a chance." Zheng Yong said: "This kind of young monarch is indeed prone to being passionate and strong, but once he is frustrated, he is easily discouraged and unable to recover. Anyway, it is fine to send one or two dead soldiers into the city, and it is okay to test it."

"Okay." Fu Cunshen agreed.

Actually, Zheng Yong said

That's right. People like Daquan are good at using women in the deep palace. They have been arrogant since childhood. They are not old and have not experienced much, so their minds may not be mature yet and they are prone to extremes.

Before he was defeated, he was full of fantasy, thinking that his ability to turn the tide, being a hero of the Bohai Kingdom, gaining countless glory, and his prestige increased greatly. He became the leader of the revival of a generation and left his name in history books.

After the crushing defeat, he was discouraged, and all his ambitions were smashed to pieces. He began to doubt everyone around him, and always felt that they were slandering and wanted to murder him.

At this time, it is possible to succeed.

The surrender of Daquan can also effectively suppress the morale of officials and generals in various places and weaken their will to resist. After all, most of the prefectures and states in Bohai are still controlled by them at this time, and there are still many people loyal to the Bohai royal family. Let Daquan order them to surrender, which will be twice the result with half the effort.

"It has only been four months of troops, and the real battle lasts only a month, and the country will be destroyed......" Fu Cunshen really didn't believe it. The seemingly solid house of Haidong Shengguo was only slightly kicked, and it was inclined to collapse.

*******

Shao Shude received the news on his way to Aodongcheng.

At this time, except for civil and military officials and palace guards, there were only one group of thousands of people who were scolded.

Yinanzhi was divided into two parts, led by Chu Shenping to travel east, reinforced King Shao Chengjie of Qin to besiege Zhongjing of Bohai; the other part was led by Xia Luqi and returned to Qishengzhou to reinforce Yingzhou's foreign troops, and rounded up Abaoji.

In fact, it was not clear whether Abaoji came or not, but the Khitans did break into the territory of Qishengzhou, burn, kill, loot, and incite rebellion.

The two armies of Feilong and Jindao went from west to east, Heishao army, Shatuo army went from south to north, Yinanzhi, Yingzhou foreign soldiers, and Khitan servants began to narrow the encirclement from east to west, searching for the traces of the Khitans, and planning to surround and kill them.

These two places are actually secondary battlefields, and Shao Shude was not very concerned about it. The reason why he sent Yinan out was to conquer Bohai after he was planning to defeat him.

The sergeant straight in Yinan is not ordinary martial artists. They are well-treated, well-equipped, first-class physical fitness, and strong combat power. At least half of them are veterans who have been dead, and half are powerful martial arts students who have been practicing martial arts since childhood. Shao Shude often urges them to train, teach them, and review the tactics with them. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a "driving version" martial arts lecture hall.

To put it bluntly, these are all the seeds of officers - in fact, many people have been released over the years, and their careers have been smooth.

After the fall of the Bohai Sea, the situation will not be stable in a short period of time. Local officials must be given the power to seize military and political power. This kind of thing is not very reassuring for others, so they can only pick people from the silver saddle. This will release them and give them a chance to make meritorious service, and then directly appoint them, and there is also a saying.

It can also be seen from this that what Shao Shude really cares about is the main battlefield of Shangjing, Bohai.

The war window in northern Liaodong was short, at most five months, or even less than a day. He ran away with the butts of military generals along the way, in order to put pressure on them.

On June 24, he arrived in Aodong City. At this time, Fu Cunshen had been besieged Shangjing for eight days, and some news came back one after another.

The envoy entered the city to recruit surrender, and the Bohai Lord's Minister was hesitant and did not make a clear statement. However, after seeing that many officials wanted to surrender, they did not know which nerve it touched and were unwilling to surrender. They also sent the Tianmen Army to arrest several officials and confiscate their families and exterminate their clans.

Poor these Bohai tribes were all very powerful, but they were trapped in the capital, and no matter how powerful they were, they could not be mobilized. They were controlled by the warriors of the Tianmen Army.

The Eastern Army, mainly the Victory Army, conquered Fengzhou. Perhaps because it took too long and suffered a lot of casualties, the Andong Mansion soldiers entered the city and slaughtered the people. Although they were quickly stopped, the bad influence had already been caused, and this also made people further realize the limitations of the Mansion soldiers.

Yinan Zhi entered Zhongjing first before Weisheng's army, and won three battles and three victories, but the results were not great, and more than 2,000 people were killed in front and behind. If he wanted to take down Xiande Mansion, he had to wait for Shao Chengjie's main force to come.

On the 25th, Shao Shude, who had been on a night off, was hunting outside Aodong City, and met with a group of demoted officials and generals in the Bohai Sea. The number of people was a bit too large, about fifty or sixty.

Zi, the most important official is Zhang Dingbao, who is left behind in Xijing.

He has been appointed as the eighth-rank Taipusi Dianmu Ling. Compared to his status in the Bohai Kingdom, he is naturally not as good as that of his position. It can even be said to be a cliff-like decline, but after all, he has a background, which is not bad.

"What is the relationship between Zhang Qing and Zhang Wenxiu during his time in the martial arts period?" Shao Shude asked while debugging the bowstring.

In the 20th year of Kaiyuan, because the Tang court was unwilling to kill Damenyi, the brother of the Bohai King of Dawuyi, who came to join him, and at the same time, he also sponsored the Heishui Martres, who were unsubmissive in the northern part of the Bohai Sea to "interfere in internal affairs", the Bohai Kingdom then advanced on both sides of land and land to attack the Tang Dynasty.

Among them, the waterway was led by Zhang Wenxiu. He unexpectedly landed in Dengzhou and killed the governor Wei Jun. It was not until Tang Ting mobilized the army to come and retreated.

This was a very successful cross-sea landing raid, which restrained part of Tang Ting's energy. Zhang Wenxiu's name was even presented to Xuanzong's desk.

"It's the ancestor." Zhang Dingbao bent his waist very low and replied.

"Xuanzong cannot make Zhang Wenxiu bow his head, but I have to surrender you, which is great." Shao Shude said, "I don't know if there are anyone who wants to surrender?" "How will Your Majesty arrange for the Bohai Tu clan?" Zhang Dingbao asked.

"Is it not good to live in the Central Plains Flower World?" Shao Shude asked.

"Your Majesty is cautious..." Zhang Dingbao said a while before he touched Shao Shude's stern gaze and he didn't dare to continue. "What is Zhang Qing thinking?" Shao Shude smiled and said, "What did Li Shimin do when the former Tang Dynasty conquered Goguryeo?"

Zhang Dingbao's face was pale.

How did it be done? Ordinary people may not need to move, but all the "retirement households" were placed in Huainan. After three hundred years, the Goguryeo people in Huainan have been there? They have all become Han people.

"Don't fantasize." Shao Shude scolded: "I sent out more than 100,000 troops and did not eliminate all evil. Can I leave? The Bohai Tu tribes moved away obediently. I can still make them more decent. If I don't obey, I will help them be decent. If I leave the words here, I will not achieve my goal. I will spend the winter in the Bohai Sea this year."

This was said firmly, and Zhang Dingbao knew that he had no luck, so he stopped persuading him.

"Tell Zhang Qing another thing. The writer of Da Cun is already in chaos and slaughtered loyal and kind people in Shangjing City. Even the King of Dongping Dashuxian and Prime Minister Wu Du were killed by him. There were even more people who were imprisoned by the ministers and nobles." Shao Shude said: "It's not true or false, and the fake is not true. Zhang Qing only needs to find out about the matter in Shangjing."

Zhang Dingbao was also very surprised when he heard this.

The king did this completely shaking the foundation of the Bohai Sea. He was a little unbelievable, but the saint said it concisely, but it didn't look fake, and he suddenly fell into confusion.

"I'll tell Zhang Qing another thing." After calibrating the bow, Shao Shude pulled out an arrow from the pot, looked around and said, "I received a military report yesterday. The Ping Navy warship was ashore at Longji Port and had occupied the county town."

Zhang Dingbao was shocked again.

He knew that the Pinghai Army was the navy of Daxia. Four warships could carry hundreds of soldiers no matter how hard they were. If they suddenly came ashore, it would be possible to capture a port city. There are not many soldiers in Longyuan Mansion now!

"I heard that the Zhang family and the Dou family in Qingzhou are in-laws, so you go and persuade Longyuan Mansion to surrender. How about it?" Shao Shude said. "I obey the order." Zhang Dingbao sighed inwardly and responded.

If the saints say, the king arrests and slaughters of the aristocratic races, the Bohai Sea will be over.

It's really too confused! How did your throne come from? It's not about martial arts, civil servants who pass the imperial examination, but about aristocratic families! The Tushi family is weakening their ruling foundation, and they are really confused to the extreme.

"Swoosh!" An arrow flew out.

The pheasant that had just rushed over fell from the air, flew on the ground for a few times, and stopped moving. "If Dou doesn't surrender, this will happen." Shao Shude said.

Zhang Dingbao is already numb. The martial arts emperor, who dares to speak and do, those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish. What else can he do?
