Chapter 995: The Ambition of the Vulture
On May 24, Liaoguo, went to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing.
Since the Jin army broke through the west gate on the fourth day of the first month, the most important capital of the Liao State has fallen for 20 days.
But even after so many days, Shangjing can still see fires rising from time to time, and sudden battles still break out in a corner of the city.
The remnants of the Liao defenders, hiding in this large city with a population of hundreds of thousands, are still making their last struggles, although their struggles are so ridiculous and futile in the eyes of the Jurchens, and they will only implicate more people in the end and be killed......
In an alley in the north of the city, with the end of the last few screams, several Jurchen warriors covered in blood and hideous faces strode out, and in the alley behind them, there were dozens of men, women and children, and among them, only three were Liao soldiers who wanted to resist the sneak attack, and the others were ordinary people who were affected by them and tortured and killed by these Jin soldiers.
This scene clearly fell into the eyes of Wanyan Wushu, who had just passed by the alley, which made his eyebrows furrow again. However, those golden soldiers didn't notice the disgust in his eyes at all, but leaned forward with a smile, and lit up the long knife with blood in front of him as if offering a treasure: "Fourth prince, this knife looks much sharper than our weapons, I am willing to sacrifice it to you!" "For this fourth prince who fought bravely and had all kinds of strategies, these golden soldiers respected him from the bottom of his heart.
The disgust in Wanyan Wushu's eyes dissipated instantly, he smiled and waved his hand, and patted the treasure knife hanging on his waist: "I have obtained a good knife from the Liao Imperial Palace, since this knife was captured by you, it should be worn by you, and he will kill more enemies in the future!" ”
"Of course, as a Dajin warrior, I should kill all enemies for Dajin, not only the Liao, but also those others who look down on us!" This golden soldier laughed wildly, and then bent down slightly after finishing Yan Wushu, and strode away.
Not long after the Jurchens were founded, they did not have the strict hierarchy of the Song and Liao countries, and even if the identities of the two sides were very different, this soldier did not have much groveling. And Wanyan Wushu never paid attention to this, but after pondering, he turned his head and asked: "Hachi, what about the numbers I asked you to count, how many Liao people have we killed in these days?" ”
A man with a long face and hooked nose and deep-set eyes on his side hurriedly replied: "In the past twenty days, in addition to the Liao soldiers who were killed in battle, the number of Liao people killed by our Dajin soldiers has exceeded 80,000, and this is only the number of Liao people killed in the capital here, and it is said that the number of Liao people who escaped from the city early and were killed is also comparable to this." ”
"There are really a lot of Liao people, and I heard that there are more Song people in the south, if we really kill like this, I'm afraid that we won't be able to win completely. I have to talk to my father. When Wanyan Wushu said this, he shook the reins and rode his horse quickly towards the Liao Imperial Palace not far ahead, which was now completely occupied by the Jin people, and Wanyan Aguda was in it.
The two teams of elite Jin soldiers were guarding in front of the somewhat damaged palace gate, but after seeing the arrival of Yan Wushu, they did not have the slightest intention of stopping them, so they drove in with him and brought knives, and went straight to the palace apse, where Yan Agu rested.
In fact, this palace of the Liao people is still quite old and simple compared to the palace of the Song people, and the decoration inside is also the most simple, mostly the fur heads of some tigers and leopards and other fierce beasts, as well as a strong bow and sword, which are completely different from the various treasures in the Great Song Palace.
This is not to say that the Liao State is so poor, and even the emperor is so poor, it is really because the atmosphere of the two countries is different, and now the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi is more accustomed to hunting and making bowls everywhere, and there are really only a few days in a year to stay in the palace in Shangjing. In this way, everything here is simplified.
But even so, this magnificent palace house and all kinds of decorative weapons still made the gold people who took the city linger, and they were amazed, just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden. Almost every soldier of the Jin Army who had just entered the palace would express his heartfelt admiration, and then after receiving the approval of Aguta, he happily selected the most suitable weapon for himself.
Not only the sons and cronies like Wushu, but also ordinary subordinates, and even the three brothers of the Zeng family, all got a high-quality weapon, at this time, Zeng Suo carried a treasure knife and guarded in front of the door of the apse. ”
It is said that the three brothers of the Zeng family, with their identity as descendants of the Jurchens and their superb martial arts, have been reused by the monarchs and ministers of the Jin State in just a few years. Zeng Sheng stayed by Wushu's side to listen to it, and Zeng Suo became the personal guard commander of Ah Guta, and the last Zeng Tu was valued by Wu Qimai and became a general under him.
Zeng Sheng, who was following behind Wushu, only nodded slightly when he saw his third brother, while Wushu asked casually, "Where is my father?" Is it in the temple? ”
"The emperor has just found several boxes of belongings from a palace in the rear, and now he is checking and counting them inside, the fourth prince came at the right time, and he should be able to get a lot of rewards." Zeng Suo said after laughing.
Wushu just smiled after hearing this, and didn't pay too much attention to it. In these days, the soldiers guarding here can always find the property left by the Liao people from a certain corner, and he is used to it. At that moment, he let Zeng Shenghachi and other subordinates stay outside the palace, and he strode into the palace gate to see his father Aguta.
In the hall, more than a dozen butter candles were burning brightly, illuminating the temple brightly, and Ah Guda was sitting on the ground with a smile on his face, and a few cronies were looking at the things taken out of the boxes inlaid with precious jade.
The shorter, sharper knives had long since been thrown aside by them, and now they were allowed to play with them in their hands, but they were amazed by a jade cup with a very thin body, but the size of a palm, and a few brocades that were as smooth as water and shimmered in the firelight. A few old men who were accustomed to holding knives, guns, bows and arrows carefully caressed these utensils with rough hands, and their faces were full of amazement.
"These things are really earth-shattering, compared to these satins, what we wear is just fur at all." One of the generals pulled his clothes in frustration and exclaimed.
"And this cup, I don't know how it was made. I guess drinking it will taste even better. ”
At the same time that Ah Guda nodded his head in approval, Wushu strode forward and said, "Although these things look beautiful, they are not practical. Ladies and gentlemen, we Jurchens have to drink a good time, if we take such a cup, we must always be careful, we are afraid of breaking it when we hold it, then what kind of wine do we drink? ”
"It's true, the fourth prince is more knowledgeable." A man with a meaty face and a deep scar from his left eye to his chin smiled and nodded.
And Ah Guta shook his head and laughed: "Wushu, you can always say such words that we ignore, you really deserve to be the eagle of my Jurchen tribe." By the way, I heard that you broke a Liao army outside the city yesterday, and this silk will reward you, which is a rare good thing in the Liao Palace. As soon as he raised his hand, he threw one of the satins at his son.
Wanyan Wushu caught it very casually, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward from my father, but in my opinion, these satins are nothing." ”
"What do you mean by this, the fourth prince?" Someone asked puzzled, and even Ah Guda frowned and looked over.
"Father, as far as I know, these satins of the Liao people actually come from the Song Kingdom in the south, and in the Song Dynasty, these are very gorgeous in our eyes, and the priceless brocade is nothing at all. Their rich and noble families wore such satin garments all year round, and their emperors and ministers wore better clothes than this. The porcelain cups they used to drink wine were thinner, more transparent and lighter than this jade cup, which were the real treasures, and these were just commodities used by the Song people to earn Liao horses, horses, and money. ”
Wushu's words suddenly made several people stupid, there is such a thing, they don't know that the Song people can be so rich. But they also know that Wushu has always liked Han culture, and he must be wrong when he says it.
"If that's the case, this time we joined forces with the Song people to destroy the Liao State, and we are also allies, so we should ask them for some good things, not to mention anything else, I like such a cup, and I will be satisfied if I want ten."
"I'm the same, to have such a satin for my woman to wear, she must be happy."
These generals of the Jin Kingdom all thought of the benefits of getting many treasures, and their mouths were about to flow out of their mouths. But Wushu didn't answer their words, and there was even a sneer on his face, and when Ah Guda saw this, he frowned: "Wushu, do you have any other opinions on this?" ”
"Father's forgiveness, I just think our requirements are too low. Could it be that just by defeating the Liao State can we be satisfied? Haven't you thought that if you can go south again, knock down the entire Song Kingdom, grab all these good things that I regard as treasures, and press those gentle Song women under us, is this the most wonderful thing in the world? When Wanyan Wushu said this, the whole person was full of excitement, waving his hands as if he might fly at any moment.
And the monarchs and ministers in front of them were completely shocked by his statement. After a while, I saw Ah Guda cough in a low voice: "Attack Song? It's not easy, right? ”
