The Liao army was defeated, but the more casualties were only the Bohai soldiers, the affiliated soldiers of the Liao state.
However, the main cavalry of the Liao army did not suffer a devastating blow, and the casualties did not exceed 2,000.
On February 25th, Shi Jin led the army to Chenzhou.
In the camp commander's tent, Shi Jin heard the spies' report and learned that He Chongbao had led the cavalry back to Liaoyang Mansion.
Shi Jin also wanted to march the entire army in a hurry so that He Chongbao could be blocked in Liaoyang City.
Li Ying, who was responsible for patrolling at night and guarding the gate of the village, came in and reported: "Marshal, there is a Liao man asking to see him, saying that he has something important to discuss."
Shi Jin asked in confusion: "Who is coming?"
Li Ying shook his head and said: "He refused to give his name.
He only said that he would not reveal everything until he saw the marshal in person.
However, he repeatedly said that he could help the marshal capture He Chongbao, the leader of the Liao army."
Shi Jin heard this, thought for a moment and said, "In that case, invite him in."
Not long after, the Liao man walked into the tent under the leadership of Li Ying.
Shi Jin looked at the person in front of him who looked familiar.
He should be someone he had met before, but he just didn't know who it was.
Shi Jin sat down and asked, "Who are you?
Why do you want to see me?"
The man didn't answer.
He looked around and said, "I have something important to discuss with you, general.
Please step aside."
Shi Jin shook his head and said, "No, these people are my trusted subordinates.
If you have any questions, please tell me quickly, or else leave quickly."
When the man heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Xiao Ke Gao Yongfu is the younger brother of Gao Yongchang, the general of the Liao Kingdom."
No wonder he looks familiar, he has indeed been seen before.
But on the battlefield, when life and death are at stake, no one has the leisure to recognize others.
Even if you have seen it, you may not recognize it.
Shi Jin looked at Gao Yongfu and asked: "It turns out to be General Gao.
I don't know why you came here today.
What do you mean when you say you can help me capture He Chongbao?
Could it be that Gao Yongchang wants to join our army?"
Gao Yongfu raised his hand and said: "The Khitan people have treated us Bohai people harshly in every possible way.
A few days ago, they completely ignored us and left us alone.
Such a sect leader would be better than General Shi.
You really have a group of tigers and wolves under your command."
But you should also know that your army lacks war horses, so even if you defeat He Chongbao, you will not be able to annihilate them.
It will not be easy for the general to destroy them."
Hearing that the other party did not answer him directly, he changed the subject and talked about the troubles of our army.
Shi Jinnuo said thoughtfully: "It is not easy, but Liaoyang City is there.
It is not difficult for our army to conquer Liaoyang City."
Gao Yongfu nodded and said: "I don't doubt this, but as the saying goes, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, and there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
If He Chongbao makes up his mind, he will not fight your army head-on, but give up Liaoyang Mansion. , if you wander around and harass, I’m afraid it will be difficult for your army to live peacefully.”
Shi Jin could almost understand what the other party was thinking, and said with a sneer: "Your elder brother asked you to come here to discuss something with me.
Could it be that he wants to unite our army to kill He Chongbao and speak out in a bad mood?"
Gao Yongfu shook his head and said: "Of course not.
General Shi, people in the Ming Dynasty do not speak secretly.
The Song Dynasty has always wanted to deal with the Liao Kingdom and regain the Sixteen States of Yanyun.

We Bohai people have also always wanted to restore the country.
The Liao Kingdom can be said to be ours.
We are a common enemy and we are willing to form an alliance with the Song Dynasty to deal with the Liao Kingdom together."
Shi Jin said disdainfully: "Don't say that you have just been defeated by our army, we don't know how many soldiers and horses are left.
Just how many remaining Bohai soldiers are willing to obey your orders is unknown.
You have What qualifications do you have to form an alliance with me and the Song Dynasty?"
Gao Yongfu said proudly: "My eldest brother has always had prestige in the army.
As long as my eldest brother shouts in support, there will be a large number of responders, and tens of thousands of troops can be recruited.
At that time, the general will join hands with us to capture He Chongbao and Xiao Baoxian, the left-behind minister in Tokyo, my elder Brother can easily control the Liaoyang Prefecture.
After the success, we will lead the troops to help the general capture Yanyun.
Of course, my eldest brother will also express his willingness to be a vassal state of the Song Dynasty.
This way the general will not be able to achieve great achievements easily.
I believe the emperor of the Song Dynasty.
I will definitely reward you generously, General."
Shi Jin burst out laughing and said: "Hahaha, General Gao, do you think I, Shi Jin, am a three-year-old child?
I helped you kill He Chongbao.
On the contrary, you occupied Liaoyang Mansion, and you could even take the opportunity to capture more than fifty states in Liaodong." .
But I, Shi Jin, only occupy a small Jinzhou.
Oh, and I don’t know when I will be able to cash in on the Sixteenth State of Yanyun.
Why don’t I, Shi Jin, take advantage of your Gao family?”
At the end of his speech, Shi Jin looked at Gao Yongfu coldly, his eyes full of murderous intent.
Being stared at by Shi Jin's eyes, Gao Yongfu felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, feeling cold in his heart.
Feeling the unkind look in his eyes, Gao Yongfu could only grit his teeth and say: "Not to mention that without our help, you can't easily wipe out the Liao cavalry.
Moreover, the relationship between the Han people and the Bohai people in Liaoyang Prefecture is on the same level.
How can you, a Han, secure your position in Liaodong?
When you get to Liaoyang Mansion, you will also face endless rebellions from the Bohai people.
More importantly, don't forget that there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the Liao Kingdom, and we can help you share the pressure of the Liao Army.
Holding it in front, you can sit back and enjoy Suzhou Mansion.
Wouldn't it be nice?"
When Shi Jin heard this, he pondered for a moment and said, "Even if what you say makes sense, talking in vain is like asking us to help you, and it is delusional."
Seeing that Shi Jin seemed to be able to negotiate, Gao Yongfu hurriedly said happily: "Of course you will not let your efforts go in vain.
After the project is completed, we are willing to donate 50,000 taels of silver, 100,000 dans of grain, 3,000 pieces of green leather, and gold beads."
Fifty" Shi Jin heard this and said, "Except for these, all the horses in He Chongbao's army belong to me."
The Liao cavalry usually brought one or two horses as backup or to transport supplies.
As long as He Chongbao can really be blocked and captured, at least five or six thousand war horses can be obtained.
This is not a small number.
With so many war horses, they can form an independent army.
"This" Gao Yongfu suddenly hesitated after hearing Shi Jin's request.
This war horse is a good thing, they want it too Seeing Gao Yongfu's hesitation, Shi Jin shouted: "If you don't agree, then we will get it ourselves.
It's just a lot of effort."
Hearing what Shi Jin said, Gao Yongfu finally made up his mind and shouted: "Okay, on behalf of my elder brother, I agree to General Shi's conditions.
I hope General Shi will not break his promise."
Shi Jin shouted: "Go out and ask around.
I, Shi Jin, always keep my word and never break my promise to others."
Gao Yongfu said: "I believe that General Shi is not a villain who keeps his word.

We plan to start an uprising in five days.
We hope that the general will postpone the advance and let He Chongbao relax his vigilance so that we can act more conveniently."
"Okay" Shi Jin nodded and said.
"However, I want to hear your plan so that our army can cooperate with you."
"Our plan is this: We will invite a prestigious Liao man to come out to entertain He Chongbao, and we will set up an ambush during the banquet.
As long as He Chongbao goes to the appointment, we will rush out and chop him into meat sauce and feed it to the dogs."
Gao After Yongfu revealed his elder brother's plan for the uprising.
"Then we will take the opportunity to open the city gate.
The general only needs to lead his troops into the city and intimidate other Liao soldiers from resisting.
That's it."
"No problem, it's a trivial matter," Shi Jin said.
"Okay, in five days, Xiao Ke will come in person to guide the army.
Otherwise, he will be discovered, so Xiao Ke must rush back as soon as possible and say goodbye," Gao Yongfu said with his hand.
"Waiting for the good news," Shi Jin cupped his hands and shouted.
At the gate of the camp, Zhu Wu looked at the other party's figure galloping in on horseback and asked: "The marshal really agreed to their request and let them restore the country and manage Liaoyang Mansion."
Shi Jin snorted and shouted: "We have been planning for so long, how could we give up so easily and give them an advantage in vain.
If it weren't for the fact that I could block He Chongbao's cavalry, I wouldn't have the time to deal with them.
Zhu Gui" Hearing the shout, Zhu Gui stood up quickly and raised his hands and said: "My subordinate is here."
"Immediately send someone to closely monitor He Chongbao, Gao Yongchang, and Gao Yongfu.
I want to know their every move.
It will be convenient for us."
After "getting the order", Zhu Gui handed over his hand, turned around and left to arrange the personnel.
Shi Jin looked at the Liaoyang defense line and sneered: "If you want to steal food from my Shi's mouth, you have to see whether you have the ability."
Hearing that Shi Jin was just perfunctory, Zhu Wu said: "But what he said is worthy of the marshal's attention."
Xu Guanzhong on the side asked: "But about the tense relationship between Han people and Bohai people?"
Zhu Wu nodded and said: "Well, in order to maintain their rule, the Khitan people tried to drive a wedge between the people of the two tribes.
Now the relationship between the two tribes is on the same level.
As long as there is a little anger, a fight may break out.
If Gao Yongchang controls Liaoyang Mansion , I’m afraid that the Han people will be in danger.
Similarly, if Marshal you take control of Liaoyang Mansion, I’m afraid that the Bohai people will be restless, and it is not impossible to escape from Liaoyang Mansion.
This is what Marshal needs to pay attention to."
Shi Jin frowned when he heard this.
This ethnic relationship is the most troublesome.
If it is not handled well, it will leave hidden dangers.
"How do you think it would be better to resolve this matter?"
Xu Guanzhong thought for a while and said: "It is unrealistic to completely reconcile the grievances between the two tribes in the short term.
You can first invite an elder who is prestigious and wise among the Bohai people to serve as his deputy to help appease the Bohai people and handle the affairs of the Bohai people.
As long as the marshal can do it Be fair and just, treat people without harsh treatment and do not discriminate, I believe we can reconcile the relationship between the two races.”
Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask people to pay attention and see if there is anyone suitable.
If necessary, I will visit you personally."
In order to confuse He Chongbao and make him relax his vigilance.
Shi Jin asked the whole army to march at full speed.
When they passed by several beautiful places, they held banquets and ate and drank with their men.
At the end of the day, Liangshan's army had only marched eleven or twelve miles.
Secretly, Shi Jin asked Jie Zhen and Jie Bao to lead five hundred special forces and a thousand mountain infantry newly formed by Liu Tang and Han Bolong to take the mountain roads and trails and rush to Liaoyang.

At the same time, the Wind Wolf Cavalry led by Shi Wengong also tried their best to find hidden places to rest during the day and traveled quickly at night.
On February 27, the army just passed through Chenzhou and reached the border of Liaoyang Prefecture.
After instructing Zhu Tong to guard the camp, Shi Jin was mounting his horse, leading Zhu Wu, Xu Guanzhong, and a hundred guards to prepare for a walk in Baiyun Mountain.
Zhu Gui walked over quickly and said, "Marshal, I have something important to report."
When Shi Jin heard this, he immediately handed the horse rope to the guard and walked quickly back to the commander's tent.
The group of people walked back to the camp.
As soon as Shi Jin sat down, he asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhu Gui hurriedly said: "Marshal, my subordinates have discovered that Gao Yongchang and his team are stepping up contact with all parties.
There are signs that tomorrow at the latest, they will start to eradicate He Chongbao, the capital of Liao Dynasty, and Xiao Baoxian, the left-behind minister in Tokyo."
"What?"
Shi Jin was surprised when he heard it.
"Damn it, how dare that bastard Gao Yongchang fool me?"
Xu Guanzhong quickly reacted and said, "Marshal, Gao Yongchang is trying to drain the firepower.
But this may not be an opportunity for our army, just in time to catch them all." :
