Chapter 81: Hanging people to attack Ross, clearing the wall to prevent Mongolia
This is the first strategy: send troops in three ways to dig the canal. It's not difficult to send troops on the third way, but you just need a name to send troops. Both teachers are famous, and follow-up measures are one after another.
The second strategy: get married and stony Kiev. On the basis of the original plan of Yuzhen, Zhao Jin made another improvement, relying not only on the saint, but also on the granddaughter. That's right, it's Utita. Zhao Jin sent a secret envoy to the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to ask Utita for help. For this foreign lover who inadvertently inserted willows, Zhao Jin did not hesitate to take out several exquisite small items in the two boxes of rare treasures, so that the secret envoy could hide them, and be sure to mix them through the inspection of the countries along the way and give them to Utita.
After receiving the gift, Utita was naturally happy. In fact, even if Zhao Jin doesn't give her anything, she will do it! She is looking forward to connecting with Yan Han one day, and hopes to be able to... hee hee, this can't be said to be a secret!
So Utita flattered Grand Duke Teiota, saying that the Grand Duke was so heroic, so old and strong that the Grand Duchy of Kiev should be destroyed. There are many conflicts between the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the Grand Duchy of Kiev. Teiota is about to do this. Is there any reason not to be influenced by the most beloved Utita? Lithuanians also tame Utita and agree with him.
This time, Lithuania gathered troops to fight Kiev. Although it still takes time to prepare and can't fight for a while, how can Kiev not be surprised when they hear the news?
The regent of Kiev, Shataniev, had originally issued an order to conscript heavy troops to the east of the country. Once Yan Han intervened in the Rostov civil war, Kiev would also intervene. Yan Han helped Count Ubilyutka and Kiev helped Grand Duke Constantine. Unexpectedly, Lithuania sharpened his knife and Shataniev was shocked and had to concentrate his troops in the northwest of the country to prepare for the battle against Lithuania.
Catherine, the saint in Vladimir City, has been taken care of by Zhao Zhen, and all kinds of gifts are endless. The gift is also secondary, mainly because Catherine is an Orthodox saint, and Zhao Jin's fiancee Su Feiya is the daughter of the former patriarch of the Orthodox Church and the sister of the current patriarch. This relationship, coupled with Zhao Jin's attentiveness, is quite popular with Catherine.
Yan Han's secret envoy told Catherine: The king of our country admires the saint very much and can't wait to come and worship at your feet! The next time the king goes to Constantinople, he will ask the patriarch in person to officially grant you the title of "Saint".
When Catherine heard it, her joy reached 12 points. The title of "Holy Lady" is only called by the religious people and has not been recognized by the Holy See; if it can be recognized, it will be a great honor! Therefore, when she heard that Grand Duke Rostov isolated the Yan Han king's access to Byzantium, there was absolutely nothing to say! Catherine then declared to the people that Constantine, Grand Duke Rostov, was disrespectful to God, cruel to the people, and was an unforgivable sinner. The religious people have long heard of Constantine's ins insatiable greed for money and his mistress everywhere. They all feel that the saint is jealous and speaks well. Many infatuated nobles who have been chasing the saint for several years have asked Shataniev to fight against Constantine.
When Shataniev heard these words, he was so angry that he scolded the nobles and scolded them back. However, after this incident, Shataniev also understood that Konstantin was unpopular and was afraid that he could not be saved at all.
Yan Han soon officially declared war on the Duchy of Rostov, and the Han army sent troops in three ways, and the offensive was fierce. Shataniev faced both the military pressure of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania and the pressure of public opinion in his own country. After repeated consideration, he decided to wait and see for the time being and not to intervene casually in the battle of Rostov.
The third strategy: use in-laws and prepare to mediation.
This is a pre-prepared post, and it doesn't need to be used yet. In fact, the Byzantine Empire did not support the Yanhan Kingdom when it fought against the Principality of Rostov. After all, the Principality of Rostov is an Orthodox country. However, once Yanhan knocked down Rostov and cooked raw rice, Byzantium could only admit it happily with a smiling face. After all, the great enemy of the Byzantine Empire was Catholic countries such as the Republic of Venice, and was eager to recover the Duchy of Athens and the Duchy of Achaia, which had been separated from their own countries. These are serious things. Byzantium will not take Rostov's affairs seriously with Yan Han, and damage the relationship and hinder Byzantine's trade income! How can you compete with the hateful Venetians without money? How to recover the old territory?
Therefore, once Rostov is knocked down, Zhao Jin will immediately send an envoy to Byzantine to work. Fang Jian, who has been familiar with Byzantium, is waiting to be hit. Wan An.
The fourth strategy is to connect with Chechnya and attack Ross in the west. The Chechens have always had friction with the Ross, and there have been constant conflicts in the past. Now Yan Han has set up a new chief for the Chechens - Nakh Chekin, and Nakhekin is happy to listen to Zhao Jin.
In addition to the three-way army, Zhao Jin did not order the four Turkic brothers - Boli Abahi, Boli Atiqin, Buri Aberg and Buri Agil to lead more than 2,000 riders in the headquarters, together with Nahcekin and attack Rostov.
Zhao Jin sent an envoy to see Nakhe Cechkin and convey his words: "Nah Cechkin, you are good! I like you, so I support you to be the great chief! Now, the opportunity to prove your power has come! Let's fight the Principality of Rostov together! My main force is fighting in the north! You fight with one of my small troops from the south! Let your feud Ross cry and cry!"
Nahcekin received the messenger and listened to this oral article full of exclamation. He couldn't help but be emotional and agreed without saying anything. He is very simple, and what he wants to hear is such simple and energetic words. He hasn't been a long time as the United Chief of Chechen and Ingush, and he needs to fight a battle! And the bigger you do, the better, so that you can greatly enhance your prestige and take the position of chief. Otherwise, many of the little chiefs of many tribes will be eyeing.
So Nakhekin picked up more than 6,000 soldiers and roared to join the brothers. The coalition forces totaled more than 8,000 horses and broke into the southeast border of the Principality of Rostov!
There are four people here. In fact, Yan Han's real main force has not yet come out. The "Central Field Army" stationed in Anhan Prefecture - 5 thousand tigers, 3,000 Tiqi, and 27,000 regular troops in the rest of the battalions, horse and fierce soldiers can set out at any time. There are more than 20,000 militiamen in Beijing and suburban counties, who are ready to come and fight.
The fifth strategy is to strengthen the clear field and prepare the sea capital.
Since receiving Li Huazhen's report, Zhao Jin ordered the search for the spy in An Seoul and arrested Na Laiha's accomplices. Before going to war against Rostov, Zhao Jin ordered the governor's office to clean up the wall. Jianbi" refers to the focus on the defense of Cangling Pass, Cangzhou City and Muzhou City; "Qingye" refers to temporarily transferring the herdsmen in the Wudong area to the west or north of the Ural River to avoid being raided by the Haidu army and turning livestock into the enemy's military food.
The Mongolian army's way of fighting is to advance while plundering. If the plunder fails, it will be difficult to advance, which is the meaning of "Qingye".
The work of Jianbi Qingye was almost done, and Zhao Jin ordered the execution of the spies sent by the Haidu Khanate to the public. This is a clear Haidu - our country is already prepared. Do you want to come and do it at your office?
When executing the spies, they did not say that these were the spies of the Haidu Khanate, but to save face for Haidu.
The sixth strategy is to rely on A Ruo and block it for a while.
17,000 troops in the Zhendong Governor's Office may not be enough to resist Haidu. The Wudong area is sparsely populated and has no militia. Then, Zhao Jin is bound to hum a song: "Good girl, please stand in the way for me."
Zhao Jin really sang like this. Xiao Ruoying is both shy and angry, but he really admires Zhao Jin. He can still be relaxed and happy at such a critical moment, which is a light-weight demeanor. As for the appearance of the king's improper death... What's the matter if it is limited to his children?
To this day, Zhao Jin and Xiao Ruoying are still ordinary lovers. Their contact is limited to hands, not to mention sleeping in the same bed, and they have not even kissed. Although Xiao Ruoying is tall and very precocious, she also hides the girl's thoughts in her heart. Let's take the hum of a "good girl" as an example. In the past, no one has been so frivolous to A Ruo. A Ruo actually has a little expectation and a little joy.
Well, I can't say, for the sake of this unscrupulous king and the desire to build a strong country together, Xiao Ruoyi has to obey. It would be boring if you didn't listen to the king when they were tired of roaming hand and sitting side by side and whispering, and forcing the king to issue an order in the court.
Xiao Ruoying's Khitan nomadic tribe has a population of only 160,000 or 70,000, but the number of people who can control the string has reached 40,000 or 50,000! Because almost all the old and weak died on the way to transfer, almost all the people who arrived at Yanhan alive are young and middle-aged men and women. There are many people who have good physical fitness, superb equestrianism, and can shoot and hunt. If they are in urgent need, they can go to the battlefield without training.
It is undeniable that A Ruo is really a powerful hero! Yuzhen will think of letting Zhao Jin use A Ruo, which is really a last resort. Yuzhen is afraid that Xiao Ruoying will be aggressive. In fact, she really doesn't want to use her. But besides her, who else can gather a considerable strength at this critical moment to improve the chances of successfully resisting Haidu?
Last autumn, when Xiao Ruoying was subdued, her tribe was hungry and weak in combat effectiveness. Although she had many string controllers, what could she do?
At this time, since then, the combat effectiveness of the Xiao clan has been greatly restored. Zhao Jin ordered Xiao Ruoyi to select 10,000 people from the tribe and leave production as her own regular army. The state will be responsible for the military food and military salaries of these 10,000 people.
So, Xiao Ruoyi led the generals Xiao Yueliduo, Xiao Yuelilin, Xiao Guannu, Xiao Dabeinu, Xiao Xiansi and Xiao Longyun, and led Wan Qi, who were stationed by the Ural River to prepare the sea capital for Zhao Jin.
Everything is arranged, and Zhao Jin will also go out. In July, the work in Lithuania, Kiev, Chechnya and other places has been completed, and the army of Yanhan Middle, South and North Road and allied forces with Chechnya have been dispatched. Count Ubilyuchka has also been guarded to an extremely difficult moment and sent people to break out and ask Yanhan for help. This war must be fought quickly. As a founding hero, it is necessary for Zhao Jin to lead the elite to fight. Rise and fall, success or failure, in this move.
