Chapter 136: Besieged on three sides? A domineering plot!

“A general soldier!”

“Three lieutenant generals, four guerrilla generals, and forty-one garrisons…”

“What a great Beijing Palace!”

Jia Cong tapped the armrest of the chair with his fingers.

The expression on his face was indifferent, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.

The generals below felt a terrifying pressure looming in their hearts.

Especially several generals who secretly defected to Prince Beijing’s Palace.

He even felt a chill down his spine, as if his life and death were in the hands of Jia Cong.

Nearly half of the generals in Liaodong Town secretly defected to Prince Beijing’s Palace. This was the result of the Jinyiwei and the Imperial City Bureau working together to secretly clean up a lot of them.

I’m afraid this scene was something that even the royal family had not expected.

Many of them were generals promoted during Emperor Kaiyuan’s several northern expeditions.

He glanced calmly at the slightly trembling generals and cast a wink to Baochai beside him.

Jia Cong restrained the pressure from the gods.

“That’s fine.”

“I have always acted fairly.”

“No matter what you have done before, now that you are here today.”

“It proves that you have made a choice between the imperial court and the rebels.”

“Let the past be written off!”

……

“Report! Grand Commander, the beacon tower has lit up the signal fire!”

“The 80,000-man Jianzhou Jurchen army is heading south!”

“The front line of Gushanbao was lost due to the explosion, and Dingliao Right Guard fell!”

“Zhenjiang Jiulian City is out of contact!”

Just as Jia Cong finished speaking, the voice of a messenger reporting suddenly came from outside the door.

“Jianzhou Jurchens? Impossible, where did they get 80,000 troops?”

“If the Dingliao Right Guard falls, doesn’t that mean they are almost at Caohe?”

“If we allow them to continue westward, Liaodong Town will be left without a care in the world.”

As soon as the messenger finished speaking, the generals in the hall immediately became excited.

The Jurchen people are divided into three tribes!

Jianzhou Jurchens! Haixi Jurchens! Wild Jurchens!

Among them, the Jianzhou Jurchens have grown increasingly powerful in recent years thanks to the support of Daqian.

The population is over 100,000!
The original intention was to let them share the border defense pressure of Liaodong Town, but who would have thought that the Jianzhou Jurchens had become increasingly restless in recent years.

With a population of only 100,000, it is impossible to mobilize an army of 80,000.

This is not over yet.

Before the discussion among the generals in the hall subsided, a herald came running in from outside.

“Report!”

“Kaiyuan Guards’ wolf smoke rises!”

“A hundred thousand Tatar troops are marching south!”

Daqian set up beacon towers all over Liaodong and stationed people there.

In addition, this world has extraordinary powers, and it only needs some esoteric methods to make slight modifications.

The smoke signals on the beacon tower can convey some brief information.

Compared with simple smoke signals, it is undoubtedly several times superior.

“Kaiping Guard!”

“Not good! The Tatars invaded our border at the end of last year. It’s only been three or four months now. How come…”

“It must have been an appointment!”

Now, all the generals in the hall felt that the situation was extremely difficult.

The 80,000-strong Jianzhou Jurchen army!

The Tatar tribe has an army of one hundred thousand!

The loss of contact with Jiuliancheng in Zhenjiang was obviously the work of Beijing Wang Shuirong.

Among them were tens of thousands of Liaodong rebels.

Before this, Liaodong Town was garrisoned by only over 200,000 troops.

This is changing!

Now there are only a little over 100,000 soldiers capable of fighting!

They are also scattered in various guards.

The most important thing is that all the generals above the fifth rank in the entire Liaodong Town are here.

Only deputies were left in the local garrisons, and they were simply unable to take charge of the overall situation.

If Liaodong was lost, the consequences would be more serious than the previous White Lotus Rebellion in Shandong.

As they talked, everyone’s attention was focused on Jia Cong again.

“Zhang Yongkui, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

At the critical moment, Jia Cong’s expression did not change at all.

He looked calmly at a middle-aged general in the hall.

Zhang Yongkui, one of the eight guerrilla generals in Liaodong Town!
The so-called guerrilla general is one who leads his own troops.

It means something like a mobile force.

“This…I…”

“I deserve to die.”

“I was confused for a moment and accepted the favors from Prince Beijing’s Mansion…”

“Please spare my life, my Lord!”

Under such powerful force, Zhang Yongkui instantly broke out in a sweat.

Unable to hold on any longer, he fell to his knees.

“I’m asking you, what are Shui Rong’s plans?”

“My Lord, Shui Rong has been contacting old friends from the Liaodong Zhenbei Jing Palace since three months ago… as well as the Jurchens outside the border and some of the Tatar tribes that frequently engage in smuggling transactions with him!”

“The original plan was for several Tatar tribes to jointly send 100,000 troops south!” “The Jianzhou Jurchens and the Haixi Jurchens jointly sent 80,000 troops!”

“The traitor Yin Zhiyuan was the traitor. After conquering Liaodong, he marched into Shenjing, forcing the imperial court to move the capital so that they could divide the northern land together!”

“Everything is ready. We were supposed to start the operation in a few days…”

“But I didn’t expect that the Marquis would suddenly come to Liaodong Town and kill Yin Zhiyuan.”

“Three days ago, I received an order from Shui Rong, asking us to meet up at Jiulian City in Zhenjiang…”

In order to save his life, Zhang Yongkui explained Shui Rong’s plan in detail.

“How brave!”

“Shui Rong dared to sell out the country. The barbarians who entered the country have always committed murder, looting and other evils. Where does this move put the people?”

“The traitor must be executed!”

The other loyal generals in the hall flew into a rage upon hearing this.

“That’s a good plan…”

Jia Cong chuckled.

After a little thought, I understood Shui Rong’s wishful thinking.

The royal family all knew that they had to secretly eliminate the followers of Prince Beijing’s Palace in Liaodong Town.

It is only a matter of time before the truth is revealed.

In this situation, how could Shui Rong just sit there and wait for death?

He deliberately pretended to be unaware of the actions of the Imperial City Bureau and the Embroidered Uniform Guard in Liaodong in order to paralyze the royal family.

In fact, the planning started three months ago.

Tatar was one of the main forces in the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and after the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, they took over a lot of the legacy of the previous dynasty.

Own background…

If it was really as Shui Rong planned, using a large piece of land in Liaodong Town as bait.

Not to mention the Tatars, even the Oirat and even the Daqian vassal states in the south would use their clan background to get a piece of the pie.

By then Shui Rong will certainly encourage the two tribes to contribute.

At that time, the Shandong rebellion had not yet been put down.

There are foreign invasions from outside, and the White Lotus Sect and the four foreign kings are causing trouble everywhere from inside.

Daqian is really in danger.

By then Shui Rong will definitely try to preserve his strength.

The plan was accomplished!

Divide the north and increase power!
If it doesn’t work, Daqian will suffer heavy losses after fighting with the two tribes, and Shui Rong can also retreat to Liaodong to split the land and establish a country!
There were existing forts, cities, garrisons and fertile farmland for military settlements in various places.

With the support of the Jurchens and the containment of the Tatars and the Oirat, it is enough to hold one side.

But no one expected that Jia Cong would be able to put down the Shandong rebellion so quickly.

What was even more unexpected was that Emperor Shunde would do so when Prince Beijing’s Palace had not been completely eliminated in Liaodong.

Allow Jia Cong to attack Prince Beijing’s Palace.

Yin Zhiyuan is dead!
The most important part of the plan was missing.

Jiuliancheng in Zhenjiang is the Dandong area.

Shui Rong changed his plan and chose to gather his old subordinates there, which was clearly for the purpose of preserving his strength.

……

“Zhang Shen!”

After figuring out what happened.

Jia Cong looked at the leader of the generals below.

Zhang Shen, deputy general of Liaodong Town.

Descended from the Dingguo Mansion, a lineage of the Kaiyuan period.

He is the cousin of the contemporary Duke Dingguo Zhang Yuan!

Over sixty years old, a natural in martial arts!

“The general is here!”

“I order you to guard Liaoyang to prevent the rebellion left by Shui Rong from causing chaos!”

“If Liaoyang is not in chaos, Liaodong Town will not be in chaos!”

“I will obey your orders!”

Zhang Shen was a veteran on the battlefield, so he naturally understood that once a general’s order was given, it could not be questioned.

Take the order first.

Then he asked carefully.

“Grand Commander, do we need to ask the court for help and transfer the Beijing troops to the north?”

“No need, just report this matter to the court. This time I am here!”

“In order to eradicate the root of the problem, Shui Rong must gather all his forces together.”

“I have given him three days in vain!”

Jia Cong said indifferently, and then looked at the generals in the hall.

“Before the imperial court’s order arrives, no one except Zhang Shen may leave the Governor’s Mansion!”

“Anyone who violates this rule will be charged with treason!”

“Yes!”

Zhang Shen quickly lowered his head to hide his horrified expression.

An unbelievable thought came to my mind.

With Jia Cong’s strength at the fourth level, it would be easy for him to hunt down Shui Rong.

The reason why it has been delayed until now.

He even deliberately gathered his generals in Liaoyang City and gave them three days.

The purpose is to eradicate all Shui Rong forces!
This is eradicated!

It’s not just the power of Prince Beijing’s Mansion in Liaodong Town.

All the barbarian tribes outside the country that are friendly with them must be eradicated.

What a domineering act this is?
