Chapter 72: Yan Han attacked Kazan, Moscow raided Liangzan

It is said that more than 10,000 allied forces in Kazan attacked the Yanhan Fuxi area downstream along the west bank of the Volga River. Zhao Yu's previous expectation is not bad. The Fuxi area is flat and dangerous, and it is really easy to attract attacks. At this time, the Western Governor's Office of Yanhan Town, which was responsible for guarding the Fuxi region, had been established for more than half a year. The soldiers had not yet been fully recruited, and the total strength was only more than 10,000, and it had to be scattered to defend the cities. It seems that it is difficult to resist the town's west governor's office alone, and support is indispensable.

Semiyang, the commander of the leading coalition forces in Kazan, was instructed by Shataniev, the regent of the Grand Duchy of Kiev, to attack Yanhan.

Why did Shataniev do this? Because Yan Han's expansion is very strong, he understands people and naturally feels a huge threat. He was not only committed to his country's armaments, but also repeatedly sent people to warn Grand Duke Rostov to be wary of Yan Han. However, Grand Duke Rostov was frustrated and didn't take Shataniev's words seriously at all. He believed that Yan Han was a friend who brought him a lot of money. He felt that Shataniev's words were completely out of jealousy and wanted to destroy the relationship between our country and Yan Han! Only in their country can more goods be diverted and exported through their seaport! Think beautifully!

Shataniev's advice is invalid and he is very worried. He has already sent detectives to Yanhan to find out about the frequent wars of the Yanhan army and the increasing food consumption. Shataniev put himself in his shoes and thought that if he were the king of Yanhan, he would definitely find a way to capture Rostov, who was rich in grain. Therefore, on the one hand, Shataniyev should find a way to defeat Yan Han's intention to capture Rostov, or destroy Rostov if necessary to contain Yan Han - which may face a large-scale war with Yan Han. On the other hand, taking advantage of Shemiyang's independence can let the Kazan leaders attack Yanhan in the north. In this way, Yan Han's army is bound to be more mobilized, the military food consumption is greater, and the strength is constrained, and it cannot focus on the south.

A "condition" and a "thing" that Shataniyev mentioned to Shemiyan seems simple, but in fact, it has been buried continuously. If Shemiyang has done the "thing" and successfully attacked Yan Han, it will be based on the "conditions" - the Duchy of Kazan will listen to the command of the Grand Duchy of Kiev, then Shataniev can continue to control Shemiyang and let him attack Yan Han once or twice a year, then Yan Han will be enough!

As the saying goes, "heroes have similar opinions", when Zhao Jin knew the situation of "the attack of the northerner", he quickly analyzed it clearly. When Yuzhen and Xiao Ruoyi came to the banquet, Zhao Yu was no longer in the mood to fight for wine, but said seriously to the concubines, "I have something to do. Today's banquet is not drunk.

No concubine is coquettish. Because although Zhao Jin usually likes to joke, once there is a business, it is a word and can't be fooled around. Even the most indulgent little Lori quickly didn't quarrel.

So the concubines and royal sisters took their own pleasure, passed on the cup to offer fruit, and whispered and laughed. Zhao Jin talked to Yuzhen and Xiao Ruoyi, who knew about military and state affairs. The atmosphere of this New Year's banquet is quite strange and harmonious.

"This is a little bandit, why should the king worry about it?" Yuzhen smiled. She is about to officially marry Zhao Yu, with a very gentle look on her face.

"This bandit is not a small bandit. Even if the little bandit comes in a year, it is unbearable. Xiao Ruoying lightly refuted Yuzhen, and ate a side dish with a careless expression.

Li Yuzhen was suddenly hiccuped. As soon as she arrived at Yanhan, she didn't know as much as Xiao Ruoying. After being refuted like this, she immediately regretted that she had made a hasty speech and looked like a mediocre person in front of the other party.

At the beginning, Yuxiang saw her sister's embarrassed expression and knew that it was not good, but she couldn't help, so she had to keep a smile.

Zhao Yu nodded: "We have to eliminate the bandits. If they get a bargain and keep doing it in the future, is that okay? Therefore, I want to smooth out the area around Kazan and never suffer from future troubles. However, China is scheduled to play Rostov this autumn, and this plan is crucial and cannot be changed. Before that, the main force of our army could not be used.

Xiao Ruoying listened silently and understood Zhao Jin's meaning.

After thinking about it, Yuzhen summoned up the courage and said, "Your Majesty, I have come here without any merit. I am willing to lead the army to fight against the enemy and share the king's worries."

Xiao Ruoyi listened and suddenly became sad. He wanted to ridicule: "Can you retreat to the enemy?" After thinking about it, I still can't help it. Don't look like you have no temperament.

Zhao Jin didn't think that Yuzhen's idea was ridiculous, but encouraged him with a smile: "Viove. However, you and I have been married three and a half years ago. I have escaped once. If we don't escape this time, we will be as scheduled. So - I'll go with you."

In this way, Yuzhen was naturally very happy, and Xiao Ruoying became jealous. What? Must be on schedule? Does this mean that you want to travel and get married? Sweet while retreating the enemy?

This was so angry that she almost wanted to drop the cup and retreat, but Xiao Ruoyi resisted and smiled slightly, full of sarcasm.

Zhao Jin saw it and suddenly felt that it was really stupid to say love words to Ajiao in front of A Ruo, but since he had said it, there was nothing he could do. Only work hard to fight a good war, don't let A Ruo look down on her, flatter her more, and settle down on both sides.

So Zhao Jin picked up 3,000 tigers and 2,000 horses. The guard general Yan Shizhong and the leading general Dai led a thousand tigers as the front team; the guerrilla general Kuo Gan, and the partial division general Li Huazhen also led a thousand horses as the left and right wings; Zhao Zhen led 2,000 tigers with the military general Li Qingxi and Yanglie General Long You; made the strong crossbow general Xi Peacock and the crossbow general Xia Yao to lead one Qianti rode as the back team.

As for Yuzhen and Yuxiang, they naturally follow Zhao Jin.

Is it absurd for the king to fight with his concubines? Some ministers think so. After Zhao Jin announced the arrangement of the expedition, Yu Jingren, a bachelor of Hanlin, stopped Zhao Jin in front of the court and said, "The king went on an expedition, and the woman followed. How can this move be a barbarians?"

Zhao Jin was about to retreat from the enemy and spend his honeymoon. He was happy and didn't want to argue with others. He smiled and said, "No problem. If the barbarians have a good method, they should learn from the barbarians. The Taizu of Liao, Jin and Yuan all took the women on an expedition, and it is not necessarily that they did not fight well.

This made Yu Jingren angry and his beard trembled. If the barbarians have a good way, they should learn from the barbarians." - The king can even say such a thing? It's simply deviant!

He Anping heard it and felt that the king's words were not decent enough. He quickly said aside, "Zhu Hanlin doesn't know anything. Since ancient times, there have been few kings without concubines. The same is true of Han. The relatives of Han Gaozu and Han Guangwu are mostly followed by women. The prince of Guangwu was born on the journey.

Zhao Jin understood and said with a smile, "Yes! The founding king especially needed to bring women to the expedition. Because they are always fighting outside all year round, if they don't bring women... Haha, I'm afraid there will be no second generation!"

With this, many ministers around him stared at Zhao Jin. Only then did Zhao Jin realize that he was wrong again. The case of the second generation of lack of people is far away from the sky and close at hand. Zhao Jin had to smile awkwardly: "No, it's okay. Let's break up."

Zhao Yu said and ran outside to order soldiers. When the ministers talked about it, they all felt that the king had only two concubines before, and they could not bezheng, which may be the key to the "second generation of lack of people". It should be better now. In half a year, many concubines have been accepted, and several of them can be recruited. So, can we expect him to give birth to a prince soon to calm people's hearts?

Zhao Jin led the Han army to march rapidly to the northwest, and Shemiyan led the coalition forces in Kazan to continue south. In the middle of winter, all rivers are frozen and easy to march. Decades ago, the Mongols marched west and often attacked in winter for the convenience of crossing the river. Shemiyang's men easily crossed several rivers and came to the outside of Yanhan Luzhou.

Chen Guinian, the governor of Luzhou Town and General Yokono, guarded the small city. He had less than a thousand soldiers, but he was fearless, only full of blood. Whenever I am besieged by the enemy's army like this, I feel a great honor to serve the country. The Kazan army quickly surrounded Luzhou. Under the encouragement of Chen Guinian, the Luzhou garrison bravely defended the city.

Just as the Kazan army invaded Yanhan, the Moscow army made a big move and launched a surprise attack on the Duchy of Liangzan!

Daniel, Duke of Moscow, saw through the mediocrity of Fyodor, Grand Duke of Ryazan. In troubled times, the mediocrity is the dish of the master. If you don't take such a goal, I will take it. With the growth of Yan Han, Danil, like Shataniev, also felt a great sense of oppression. Therefore, he had to pursue rapid expansion in order to accumulate strength to compete with Yan Han.

Daniel was worried that Yan Hanjie would take the lead and wipe out Liang Zan; and he was also afraid that once old Fyodor died of old age, Grand Duke Liang Zan would not be easy to fight. After all, the Duchy of Ryazan is an old country. As long as there is a moderately capable monarch, Moscow is not easy to swallow it.

For example, if you are a good chess player. Kazan guard Shemyan sought independence, and the Kiev regent Shataniev saw through Shemyan's thoughts, so he proposed conditions to attack Yanhan in exchange for supporting Shemyan. Danil estimated the thoughts of both Shemyan and Shataniev in advance and woke up Shemiyan and asked him to seek the Grand Duchy of Kiev. In this way, Shemyan and Shataniev each tried to deal with Yanhan, and Danil took the opportunity to seek the annexation of Liangzan.

"Honey." On the journey, Duchess Anna said happily to Daniel, "I look forward to looking at your new territory from the tower of Ryazan Palace."

The two trusted generals who accompanied the Duke and the Duchess, Walianjing and Kochajing, laughed and were full of confidence. Since the founding of the country, the duke has been invincible, and his subordinates are full of respect and praise for the duke. As Daniel's right-hand man, Warenkin and Kochakin have no doubt that they will win this battle. They began to imagine what would happen after the victory. Wa Lianjing asked, "After the destruction of Liang Zan, our army will reach the border of Yanhan. What should we do next?"

Kochajing said, "I'm afraid it depends on the progress of Shemiyan and others."

Daniel's thin face looked a little pale in the cold fog, but his eyes were particularly shining. He has no strong body, but a wise mind. He said calmly, "No. Whether Shemiyang has made progress or not, our army will never attack Yan Han.

"Yes! I heard that Yan Han is terrible. Anna covered her thick leather coat, as if she was a little trembling when she heard Yan Han's name: "Oriental people are all terrible. Let's not fight against them."

"No." Daniel denied her again: "Our country will definitely be the enemy of the Orientals and must not be afraid of them. Orientals are not scary. We won't be afraid of any opponents."

"Your Highness the Duke said it well!" Ke Chajing echoed with a smile.

"Yes, we Moscowians will not be afraid of any opponents!" Walianjing clenched his fist and felt full of strength.

"The significance of Shemiyang's attack on Yanhan is that we can calmly take down the Duchy of Liangzan." Daniel told his wife and left and right: "Otherwise, Yan Han will not sit back and watch us grow. They lack security in the territory west of the Volga River and do not like to border with China. Therefore, they may support Liangzan and keep Liangzan as the isolation zone between Yanhan and Moscow; but if they feel that Liangzan cannot support it, they may also take the opportunity to send troops to fight Liangzan and divide Liangzan's territory in order to increase the room for deal with our country.

Walianjing and Kechajing repeatedly said yes. Anna was confused: "Honey, I don't understand what you mean. Why do Orientals have to support Liang Zan and beat Liang Zan?

"Haha!" Ke Chajing helped explain: "His Royal Highness means that under normal circumstances, if our country beats Liang Zan, Yan Han will definitely interfere. The way to interfere is to support Liang Zan's continued survival; or they will easily send troops to occupy Liang Zan's territory while our country fights Liang Zan.

Walianjing also said, "Yes, that's right. Now that Yanhan attacked Shemiyang, he can only take care of himself and can't control Liang Zan!"

Anna seemed to understand and praised Daniel, "Honey, you are so smart. However, Ryazan also has a powerful neighbor, Kim Ordisco. You should also beware of King Ordisco getting involved in our war!"

Daniel smiled and seemed to praise Anna. He nodded: "Ginol disco was very motivated to intervene. However, I have calculated that the Grand Duchy of Ta'Dulle will not send troops this time.

"Why?"

"Her old Polish ghost is sick again."

"Hehe! Honey, you are so funny. However, she is known for her bravery. Doesn't she dare to fight when the old man is sick?

"That's right. Without an old ghost, she at least dares not fight for the time being. She has learned two lessons.

The Duke said so affirmatively. Both sides laughed. Once upon a time, Kim Ordisco was a country that made neighboring countries dare not penetrate the atmosphere. Up to now, the Moscow people have despised it as nothing.

"Shall we move the capital after we beat Liang Zan?" Anna asked again.

"Relocation of the capital? No!" Daniel denied: "Although our Moscow is small, I will expand it into a huge and magnificent city. It will surpass Kiev and even Constantinople to become the largest and most prosperous city in the world.
