"Governor, the Bohai people have withdrew their troops."

Outside the city of Anshizhou, Li Wenzhong originally wanted to concentrate his efforts to attack Anshizhou, but he got the news.

So Li Wenzhong led a large army to easily capture Anshizhou.

"It seems that the Bohai people have surrendered."

Li Wenzhong knew that when he was sending troops to Liaodong, Zhong Chuan took his delegation to Bohai Kingdom. Now that the Bohai Kingdom's army withdraws from Anshizhou, it means that the Bohai Kingdom did not want to go to war with the Tang Dynasty because of the war in Liaodong.

After capturing Anshizhou, Li Wenzhong did not continue to attack, but left two thousand troops stationed in Anshizhou, and his main force retreated to Jian'anzhou.

Because his army has been fighting for a month since sending troops to Liaodong, both soldiers and war horses are a little tired.

Moreover, because the front line is too long, the newly occupied cities require troops to defend, and it is not suitable to continue attacking.

After retreating to Jian'an Prefecture, Li Wenzhong set up his governor's office in Jian'an Prefecture.

Although Bohai Kingdom withdrew its troops, Li Wenzhong did not actually recover the former place of Andong Protectorate.

When the Andong Protectorate was the most powerful, it had nine governors' offices and forty-two states under its jurisdiction, while Li Wenzhong only recovered Jili Prefecture, Jian'an Prefecture and Anshi Prefecture.

The other states are in the hands of the Bohai Kingdom, Khitan and Goguryeo, Liaodong.

Due to the complex situation in Liaodong, Li Wenzhong did not dare to advance rashly, and the three states were almost half of the southern Liao area.

When stopping the attack, Li Wenzhong submitted a report to the court and established the Governor's Office in Jian'an Prefecture, and selected a general from the Imperial Army as the Governor.

The governor of Jili Prefecture was served by Wang Hua, and the governor of Anshi Prefecture was served by Yang Kai, which can be regarded as a sweet gift for these city lords in southern Liaoning and win them over to the court.

Next time, Li Wenzhong integrated the forces of the three prefectures in southern Liaoning to facilitate the court's control over the three prefectures.

The entire territory of Jili Prefecture was controlled at 12,000 people, including Duli Shouzha, and Qingni Shouzha was controlled at 1,500 people. For Wugucheng, which has a relatively important geographical location (i.e. Weibashan City, Li Wenzhong ordered that Weibashan City be Wugucheng), Baiyun City, etc., the generals of the court would serve as the defenders.

Jian'an Prefecture has a large number of troops stationed, reaching 20,000. The main force is the imperial army brought by Li Wenzhong, and it integrates some of the troops of Duli Town, Qingnipu and other Tang Dynasty cities.

Among them, there are 10,000 troops directly under the Liaonan Governor's Office, and the Jian'an Prefecture's army itself has only 10,000 troops. This 10,000 is divided into the Jian'an Prefecture's army directly under the Jian'an Prefecture's army and the Jian'an Prefecture's army.

Anshizhou has fewer troops, with only eight thousand men.

These three states are actually the strongest.

However, it turned out that there were more than 10,000 troops in Duli Town alone, and Li Wenzhong could not be too weakened.

In addition, many Tang people's troops surrendered in other cities, which led to the strongest strength of Jilizhou among the three states.

However, some officials from several important mountain cities and Jili Prefecture were sent from the court, so they were not worried that these local forces would rebel.

While digesting the fruits of victory, Li Wenzhong was also planning how to attack Daxing City, then occupy Bobai City, and open up contact with the Pyongyang Governor's Office.

On the Pyongyang Governor's Office, as the Bohai Army withdrew from Liaodong (excluding the occupied Andong Protectorate's Office's former place), Yang Shihou also led his troops to withdraw from Nanjing, Bohai Kingdom.

However, before the withdrawal, Yang Shihou emptied the grain, arms and property of the Nanjing warehouse in the Bohai Kingdom.

Although he wants to withdraw his troops, it does not mean that he will not move these.

Da Xuanming was very angry about the Tang army's robbery behavior, but fortunately the Tang army retreated.

As for asking the court to send troops to fight against the Tang army?

Don't think about it anymore.

Now his Majesty is focused on jointly attacking the Khitan with the Tang Dynasty. The Tang army will withdraw from the Bohai Kingdom. As for the matter of emptying property, it has nothing to do with Da Weiying.

After all, since Da Weiying ascended the throne, Nanhai Prefecture has never paid taxes.

In name, Nanhai Prefecture is the location of Nanjing of the Bohai Kingdom, but in fact it is no different from a separatist kingdom.

......

Khitan, where the Khan tent is located.

A tall and majestic tent is not far from the royal court where the Khitan Khan lives. It can be seen that the owner of the tent is not ordinary.

Of course it is not ordinary, because the owner of this tent is Yu Yue of the Khitan - Yelu Abaoji, who is the military leader of the entire eight Khitan tribes.

Five years ago, in the battle of Yingzhou, Yelu Abaoji suffered losses in his troops and generals, which was a loss of face.

However, he did not become decadent because of this. Instead, he used his uncle's help to restore his personal guards. In addition, with the help of Li Siyuan of Shatuo's tribe, he fought against the east and west and made many military achievements.

The surrounding Shiwei, Wugu, Marin and Bohai were all fought, and a large number of people and property were plundered, and the Khitan ranch was expanded.

Yelu Abaoji also rose step by step. After the death of his uncle Yelu Shilu, he took over the post of Yu Yue, in charge of the military power of the Khitan and became the actual leader of the Khitan.

Under his command, there are Yelu Helu, Yelu Shige, Xiao Dilu, Li Siyuan, Kang Yanxiao and others.

Of course, the reason why Yelu Abaoji was invincible in the east and west was also because of the Shatuo cavalry, Li Siyuan.

Now this Shatuo tribe has reached 50,000 tents, becoming a tribe that is comparable to the Dongxi Shuli clan in addition to its own eight tribes.

Although the Shatu tribe is called Shatu, it has actually become a part of the Khitan, but it is not one of the eight Khitan tribes and has a certain degree of independence.

Of course, Li Siyuan and Yelu Abaoji have a different relationship now. The two have become brother-in-law because Li Siyuan married Shuluping's sister.

"Just just got the news that the Bohai Kingdom's army withdrew from Liaodong, and the Tang people established the Liaonan Governor's Office in Liaodong, and currently occupy Anshi Prefecture, Jian'an Prefecture and Jili Prefecture. What do you think about this?"

The wind was gusts outside the tent, and the tent was particularly warm. Yelu Abaoji cut off a piece of mutton with a sharp dagger, and while feasting, he told some news to the people in front of him.

In addition to Yelu Abaoji's subordinates, there is also his wife Shuluping.

"The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty was very ambitious. The Anton Protectorate was located in the southwest of the Khitan, the Abe Protectorate was located in the west of the Khitan, and the Liaonan Governor's Office was located in the southeast of the Khitan. If the Tang Dynasty brought the Bohai Sea again, this would be an encirclement of the Khitan.

If I guess correctly, after the Liaonan Governor's Office of the Tang Dynasty pacified the cities of Goguryeo, Liaodong, it will be the Northern Expedition against the Khitan." Li Siyuan said with a serious expression.

"Northern attack on the Khitan? Now our Khitan tribes have a total of more than 400,000 young and strong, and they can recruit more than 400,000 soldiers to fight. Can the Tang Dynasty stop it?" Yelu Shige, who was standing beside him, said dissatisfied.

The brothers of Yelu Abaoji were very dissatisfied with Yelu Abaoji's re-use of Li Siyuan so much, and often came to him.

"I just analyze this. If you don't believe it, you can pretend that I didn't say it!" Li Siyuan's tone was plain and he didn't want to fight with Yelu Tsegee...

In fact, Li Siyuan was not afraid of the Northern Expedition of the Tang Dynasty. If he could take revenge by the Khitan, it would be a good thing. If he couldn't borrow it, he would continue to migrate north with his tribe members.
