Chapter 326 Keyunzhong
When Xiao Tienu forced the Xia army, Wang Xuan also changed from the rear army to the front army, pointing directly at Datong Mansion. The speed at which he marched was not as fast as Xiao Tienu, but under the pressure of tens of thousands of layers of foot and horse, he was also like a bamboo.
When Zong Han in Fengsheng Prefecture received the news, Wang Xuan had already arrived in Fengzhou! Wanyan Xiyin knew that he was invincible in Datong, and hurriedly tried to save the master of Zonghan on the east road. Zong Han was furious when he heard the news: "Yelu Yu saw that this Khitan was eating white rice? He has an army of 30,000 in his hands, how could he let Wang Xuanxiao'er come over so easily? ”
Gao Qingyi persuaded him to calm his anger and said: "I heard that this time it was Zhi Yanchong who was personally in charge, and there were no less than 150,000 or 60,000 troops before and after. Wang Xuan is only a striker, he has tens of thousands of Huma looting auxiliaries on the left and right, and there is Zhiyan Chong behind to echo, and the Han army has only pacified Mobei, the momentum is like a rainbow, even if Yeludu has 100,000 troops in his hands, I am afraid it will be difficult to resist. ”
Why didn't Zong Han understand what he said? Fang Cai's anger was not so much anger as urgency, and when the situation developed to this point, he already knew that he had lost ninety percent! There was a little bit of life left, and there was only hope that Yang Kaiyuan and Qu Duan would not be able to take the opportunity to respond.
But it backfired, and the Han army soon had actions to echo the momentum of the Mobei army! Yang Kaiyuan's Gyeonggi army and Quduan's northern Jin army, although they can't say everything about the actions of the Mobei army, they also know the basic direction of action. In the war against Western Xia, it was difficult for Xiao Tienu to make a detour of thousands of miles to inform Liu Qi, but in the war against Yunzhong, Zhi Yanchong wanted to detour his own information to Yang Kaiyuan and Quduan, Kochi, and it took only one or two months, and Yang Kaiyuan and Quduan had to report the situation, and the time required was the same, so when attacking Yunzhong, the coordination between the north and south of the Han army was much better than that of the several armies attacking Western Xia.
When Wang Xuancai arrived in Fengzhou, Shi Kang and Qu Duan turned from defense to attack almost at the same time, launching a fierce attack on Zong Han and Di Gu Nai. Especially Qu Duan, he calculated that the Yunzhong region had been attacked and immediately attacked Yanmen Pass. Although Yanmen is dangerous, the attackers are determined to win, the morale of the defenders is low, and the army at the end of the curve has an advantage in terms of numbers, weapons, combat power and materials, so just two days of siege has made this famous pass look precarious. Di Gu had no choice but to hurry up to Wanyan Xiyin and Zong Han, but where could Wanyan Xiyin and Zong Han still draw a helping hand at this time?
"It's over...... It's over......"
Gao Qingyi is already destitute and intellectually poor, and Zong Han also knows that he is at the end of the road. In fact, from the moment Yang Yingqi resolved the four families joining forces and the Han army resisted the attack of Jinxia, Zong Han and Gao Qingyi knew that the defeat was decided, and they were still looking forward to the defeat of Zhi Yanchong in Mobei - that was their only turning point. Who knew that what they were waiting for was the division of the tiger ben who swept south by Zhi Yanchong, who embraced the Han and drove Hu!
Even Zong Han is like this, and the civilian and military generals of the Jin Army in the clouds can be imagined. When the news of Wang Xuan's occupation of Fengzhou reached Datong, someone came to tell him that this civilian official was collaborating with the enemy and that the military general was plotting rebellion. Wanyan Xiyin was furious and ordered to sign it, but before the order went out of the gate of the capital, someone came to report that the "prime minister" Han Qixian had also rebelled. Wanyan Xiyin was shocked, and quickly recovered the rebellious signature, first rushed into the barracks, gathered soldiers and horses, and firmly controlled the military power in the city, before summoning those civil and military generals suspected of rebellion. After everyone came, Wanyan Xiyin was relieved again, hoping that everyone could settle down and get through the difficulties with "Dajin". All the ministers were submissive, and the generals swore an oath, but Wanyan Xiyin's eyes swept over their faces, but he felt that all of these people were telling lies.
After everyone retreated, Yin Zongxian, the younger brother of Zong Han and the governor of Datong Prefecture, said: "These people are not sincere, I am afraid that what they say is good, but they are not loyal in their hearts!" Let it go today, I'm afraid it will leave tomorrow's troubles. ”
Wanyan Xiyin glanced at him and said, "I know." ”
Zong Xian said: "Since you know, why do you let them go?" ”
Wanyan Xiyin heaved and said, "Loyal? I only want them to be obedient on the surface, where do I dare to expect them to be the same on the outside? Tomorrow's troubles? Let's talk about it today. ”
Zong Xian was gloomy when he heard this, and after a long time, he said, "Why don't we send someone to talk to Zhi Yanchong." How to say it's also a relative, maybe, perhaps, perhaps......"
Wanyan Xiyin said: "Maybe he won't kill us?" ”
Zong Xian sighed, and said to Yan Xiyin: "If we surrender, for the sake of the Tiger Princess, maybe we won't be embarrassed." Don't you see Puruhu and Antahi living well now? But your brother won't agree to this. He'd rather die! Nor will he surrender to Orihiko! ”
Wanyan Xiyin was right, except for Gao Qingyi, almost all the strategists around Zong Han had the idea of seeking peace but actually surrendering, but as soon as Zong Han heard the word peace talks, he killed the strategist who made this suggestion without saying a word - no matter how much this strategist had won his trust before! After the death of five advisors and ministers in succession, no one dared to mention the matter again. In addition to supervising the army, Zong Han patrolled the camp every day, or at night, as long as he couldn't sleep and there was no war in front of him, he would lead a team of swords and axes to inspect the camps everywhere. In just a few days, the Jin army camp was panicked, and they didn't know if they could see the sun tomorrow.
The situation of the war was getting worse day by day, and Shi Kang's infantry had already driven out of Juyong Pass, forcing the Jin army, which had been pressing on the city walls, back for several miles. However, because Yang Kaiyuan and Shi Kang were both types with steady troops, they did not approach too impatiently, but a Huma rushed into the north, crossed the Yehu Ridge, and approached Guihua Prefecture. There was even a small group of cavalry with bright yellow banners entering the field of vision of the main force of the Jin Army in Fengshengzhou!
"The personal soldiers of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! The personal soldiers of the Emperor of the Han Dynasty! ”
Someone in the Jin army shouted, and the man immediately lost his head, but the news spread like a plague, and soon Zong Han jumped up from his deep sleep, and when he heard the news, he raised his knife and killed the two guards who were whispering at the door. When he was about to kill someone, Gao Qingyi rushed over, hugged his feet and cried: "Your Majesty, it can't be like this, it can't be like this!" Fengshengzhou can't stay anymore, let's go......"
Zong Han raised the knife and slashed down on his neck, and when he hit the back of his neck, his head suddenly cleared up a little, and he quickly retracted his momentum, but the knife still hit the back shoulder of Gao Qingyi, and he was so frightened that he even killed Gao Qingyi, but Gao Qingyi didn't seem to notice it at all, and continued to shout: "Your Majesty!" Let's go! Although Han Ting is strong, it is not without faults inside. If we can escape this time, we may be ...... in the future Maybe there's a chance to make a comeback! ”
Zong Han said miserably: "It's back...... But where else can we go? East? North? South? ”
"West!" Gao Qingyi shouted: "If Datong can't hold it, go to the Western Xia side." There are mountains and rivers in Western Xia, and there is a desert next door, so you may be able to resist stubbornly! Wait for the Han court to change. After saying this, I couldn't help but faint.
Zong Han hurriedly sent someone to bind his wounds, hesitated for a night, and finally decided to give up Fengshengzhou.
As soon as Zong Han left, the last bit of resistance in the local area collapsed. Shi Kang sent troops to occupy Ruzhou, Guihua Prefecture, and Fengsheng Prefecture, and these state cities surrendered immediately when they saw the banner of the Han army, so the victory of the Han army can be said to be effortless. Zhi Yanchong's car was still in the east of Fengzhou, and he was going to go south from Dezhou, northwest of Datong, but when he heard the news, he changed his route and turned to Fengshengzhou to join Yang Kaiyuan. The forwards of both sides met at the site of the Great Wall, and the two cheered, and the good news spread throughout Gyeonggi in a few days.
When Yang Kaiyuan heard the news, he stationed at Juyong Pass, and while preparing to meet Zhi Yanchong, he sent 20,000 troops and horses to the south of Yanmen Pass to copy the north of Yanmen Pass.
When Liu Cao heard the news, he ran to the army overnight to see Qu Duan, and said: "The general and General Shi are both my Han generals, and they each hold important positions to guard against Zonghan. Previously, the imperial court evaluated the military situation of Juyong and Northern Jin, and said that although Juyong Pass had Marshal Yang as a backup, it was not as solid as the general's Northern Jin Army. The Jurchen remnants in the clouds, the main force was originally in Fengshengzhou, and now General Shi has been in Fengshengzhou, and the general is still hesitating under Yanmen Pass. If the army sent from the north arrives and Yanmen Pass is still majestic, then the princes of the imperial court will probably have to make another evaluation of the general. ”
Qu Duan's face changed greatly when he heard this, and he summoned all the generals and said: "Raise an army for a thousand days, use it for a while!" Now all the armies have established immortal feats, but my northern army has not won a city or a place! Yanmen Pass is just ahead, and it has been stopping us for a few years! I swear now! If I can't break through this level before Yang Shuai's reinforcements arrive, I am willing to go to the rank of general! Go back to Shaanxi to farm and feed the horses! ”
The generals promised that they were willing to fight to the death. On the second day, Qu Duan personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and the pass was broken within three days, and the soldiers went out of the camp, and there was no retreat!
Although there were still some Jurchen warriors who were willing to die when the Yanmen Gate was closed, most of the defenders had fallen into corruption in the past few years, and many even had the mentality of waiting to be recruited. Zong Han and the East Hu chieftain stole from the clouds, and his name was not right, and he was very unpopular in the local area, but no one dared to resist for a while under the obscenity. At this time, the overall situation in the entire cloud even the lowest soldiers knew that the Jin army would definitely be unlucky, and who else would be willing to come to the funeral for Zong Han? The day when the sound of siege under Yanmen Pass was impatient, it was also the time when the minds of the people in Yanmen Pass changed!
The day after Qu Duan gave the death order, a bribed Jin army should pull several Han soldiers up in full view of everyone when the cloud ladder approached the wall! A general of the war went to kill him, but was cut down by a soldier behind him, and then several of the inner guards shouted in the crowd at the top of the wall: "Defect! Defections! Don't be a lackey of the golden man anymore! Don't be a lackey of the golden man anymore! Take off your hat! Defections! ”
In the commotion, there were dozens of people who took off their helmets and fur hats, turned against each other, and killed the Jin army who did not take off their helmets and fur hats, and when the Yanmen Gate was closed, there was a great chaos, and some soldiers who did not wear helmets and fur hats were also regarded as rebels and Han people in the chaos, and they had to follow the rebellion, and the Han army took advantage of the situation to climb the city. The Han army and the defective Jin army, who had climbed to the top of the city, gathered into thousands and rushed towards the city gate, breaking through the obstruction of the recalcitrant Jin army and opening the gate.
Di Gu Nai stood at the juncture, seeing that the Yan Gate had been broken and the death of the Jin Kingdom was a foregone conclusion, he sighed and said, "Do I still want to be a second prisoner?" Facing the northeast, he slashed himself, and his body fell from the head of the city, and was trampled into a pulp by the military horses that rushed into the city.
