Chapter 117: The Fall of Western Xia Heavenly Confusion
The wind is surging, and the killing machine is pervasive.
The two Xiongguan in the northwest gathered a total of 500,000 Song troops.
The cavalry of the entire Great Song Dynasty was basically distributed here, and the number of 200,000 cavalry was one person and one horse.
Xixia Yipintang is also in a hurry at the moment, there are not many masters of Yipintang, on the eve of this war, the six masters of the Song Dynasty sneaked into Xixia and don't know how many.
Dozens of Western Xia generals were assassinated, so that all the warriors of Yipintang could not take the initiative to attack, either guarding the Western Xia palace or guarding the military camp generals.
After receiving the Western Xia's request for help, the Jin State intensified its offensive on the northern frontiers such as Yanmen Pass.
Who knew that the Great Song Dynasty had already prepared, and the army relied on the tall city walls to defend it, and steadily resisted the attack of the Jin State.
In desperation, he had to pass through the Jinxia border and transfer the 50,000 cavalry of the Jin State to Western Xia to help defend the attack on the side of Xiaoguan.
The war was raging, and this was the first time that the Great Song Dynasty took the initiative to attack other countries with the intention of destroying the country.
The soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty all breathed a sigh of relief.
The Western Xia had a total of only 100,000 troops, and under great pressure, they had to recruit troops from all over the country, and they gathered 200,000 soldiers.
Under the leadership of the old general Yang Tianyou, the Song army took advantage of the fact that the Western Xia reinforcements had not arrived, and set out from the side of Xiaoguan, attacking the border pass day and night, relying on the method of piling up human lives, and it took two days and the lives of more than 30,000 soldiers to break through the border pass.
After that, the method of one person and three horsemen was adopted, and 20,000 cavalry rushed for thousands of miles, and Western Xia was not suitable for cavalry to run, and the damage to horses was great.
Whenever a horse falls, it immediately changes to another one, throwing away the horse that can't run.
All the way was like a bamboo, and in just five days, it attacked all the way to Kyoto in Western Xia: Xingqing Mansion.
Encirclement and reinforcements.
The large army in the rear marched along the path of the cavalry, marching in a hurry.
Among them, there are about 50,000 cavalry, all of them are one person and one horse, and they can only come at normal speed, but they are still faster than foot soldiers, I don't know how much.
Even if there are 100,000 foot soldiers guarding Xiao Pass, there are still 100,000 foot soldiers left to rush to Xingqing Mansion.
The Western Xia had to rely on the remaining 50,000 troops to defend the city, waiting for the armies from all over the Western Xia to come to King Qin.
The two sides are fighting to see whose reinforcements arrive first.
It's a pity that the 50,000 troops at the border pass near Xiao Pass in Western Xia have long been wiped out, so they have to send 50,000 troops from the 100,000 troops at Yumen Pass to help.
Ten days later, the 50,000 troops of Western Xia arrived outside Xingqing Mansion, but they did not dare to get too close.
Because Xingqing Mansion is Kyoto, there are flat rivers outside the city, and if you go up, you will be sent to death.
The cavalry of the Jin State was also blocked by the 100,000 foot soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty outside the Qilian Mountain, and was not allowed to enter.
In 1128 AD, the Western Xia Emperor Li Xiaoren announced the surrender of the Great Song Dynasty.
In order to show the majesty of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Xiaoren was named the Marquis of Anyi and settled in Kaifeng.
Yang Tianyou was awarded the title of Marquis of Xixia by Hua Kui because of his meritorious service in the Western Xia, and the title was hereditary, and he established the Marquis Mansion in Xingqing Mansion, guarded the northwest, and managed the reopened Silk Road.
The Silk Road was reopened, and the Great Song Dynasty began to trade with the countries of the Western Regions again, and horses could be directly traded with the Mongol tribes with grain and cloth.
At this time, there was no shortage of grain in the Great Song Dynasty, and grain could be imported from Southeast Asian countries by sea, which was extremely cheap.
So much so that a horse costs less than four taels of silver.
In the Linhuang Mansion of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Wanyan Sheng was receiving a person in the imperial study.
"Badashin Protector, I have been thinking about it for a long time, Dajin is the Dajin of the Jurchens, and I am ready to make shamanism the state religion.
Those Taoism and Buddhism that spread from the south were all regarded as cults, and the imperial court would eradicate them. Wan Yan Sheng and Yan Yue said.
Badashin, a tall man, is a shamanic protector who is stationed at the shamanic helm of Linhuang Mansion.
Originally, the Jurchens believed in shamanism, but since the establishment of Dajin, more and more Jurchens believe in Taoism or Buddhism.
As for the original Khitans, they did not believe in shamanism.
Shamanism was not in a good situation, and only the Mongol tribes believed in shamanism.
And Badashin's mission in coming to the Huang Mansion was to preach.
"Your Majesty doesn't know what to ask for. Badaxin replied lightly, after all, he is not a child, and he knows that pie will not fall from the sky.
Yan Sheng is not a faithful shamanic believer, and he must have some plan when he suddenly has a good heart.
Wan Yan Sheng also put away his smile and said solemnly: "The former master of the Warrior Hall, Wan Yan Chong's martial arts, can take the enemy's head from the ten thousand armies, and I have also heard of it.
But Wan Yan Chong once told me that he was not the enemy of the three moves of the Dharma Protector, and presumably the Dharma Protector should be the first person in the world. ”
Badashin shook his head and said: "The first person doesn't dare to be, the two protectors of my shamanic sect are almost the same, and the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism also have hermit masters. ”
"But the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism don't obey me!" Wan Yan Sheng couldn't help but roar.
Then he calmed down and said slowly: "This time, I also ask the Dharma Protector to take the lives of two people for me, after the matter is completed, the Shamanism is the Dajin State Religion, and I wish to seal the Dharma Protector as the Dajin National Teacher." ”
Badashin was slightly moved, even if it is a religious person, it is inevitable that he will be selfish, and the position of national teacher is too tempting.
"I don't know which two of them. ”
Wan Yan Sheng said word by word: "Zong Ze, the master of Yanmen Pass, Zhao Mao, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty." ”
Ba Daxin was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Taoism is the state religion of the Song Dynasty, and there will definitely be Taoist hermits to stop my trip."
What's more, the Lord is about to die, the Great Song Dynasty can be replaced by one person, and the emperor is dead, so what's the point. ”
Wan Yan Sheng smiled slightly: "That Zong Ze doesn't know how much blood there is in his hands, and taking his life is just a convenient one."
This Zhao Mao is forty-five years old, but he still has no children under his knees, if he dies, everyone in the royal family of the Song Dynasty will have the opportunity to sit on the throne.
You say, what will the Song Dynasty be like in chaos, how can they still have the heart to attack Dajin. ”
When Badashin heard this, he was silent, and his heart was entangled.
The shamanic doctrine is to persuade people to be good, but as a protector of the Dharma, it is wrong to take people's lives without authorization, but the bargaining chips given by Wan Yan Sheng are too rich.
Wan Yansheng didn't speak, just stared at Badashin quietly.
"Please don't forget what you said today. Badashin arched his hand and turned to leave.
Wan Yansheng couldn't help but laugh.
If the trip is successful, Daikin can sit back and relax for at least 20 years.
The moon, proud and cold, clings to the distant blue sky, and only the filamentous clouds weave melancholy wrinkles for it.
"In the past ten years, there have been more and more mistakes in divination, what is going on, Badashin's whereabouts are no longer available, will the shamanic prophecy still come true? ”
In a yurt in the Mongolian steppe, a bonfire is lit up, and the light of the fire reflects the worried shamanic priests.
At this moment, a sloppy Taoist is speeding in the mountains.
"What kind of bullshit is that Senior Brother is calculating this time, I can't calculate the specific time and place, so it is difficult for Chongyang.
What do you say that someone deceives the heavens, can't figure it out and makes excuses.
Good boy, you must wait for the teacher to arrive. ”
