Chapter 1246: There is a change
Wanyan Agu laughed, nodded and turned away. 【 Think-Lu! Chinese Net] After Yan Mingyue waved her hand, the things on the side came over with a colorful dress. Wanyan Mingyue took the clothes and shook her hands, and a large piece sewn from tiger and leopard animal skins stretched out. Wanyan Mingyue took the hook and tied this piece to the back of Wanyan Aguda's neck. The specially treated Haw Par fur is bright and moist, and after careful patchwork of patterns, it looks like a whole piece of fur without flaws. What's more, after tanning, the fur is light and stretched, moving with the wind, and the skin of the tiger and leopard presents a colorful color, which perfectly fits Wanyan Aguda's figure, making Wanyan Agu Da like a god, which makes people dare not look at it. It's really a piece of war tailor-made for him.
"Hahaha, my sister is a good craft. This piece of battle has added the strength of a tiger and a leopard to me. I want to wear it to rush to the battlefield, kill all the Liao dogs, and make immortal feats. Girl, I'm leaving. Wanyan Agu stepped forward and hugged Wanyan Mingyue, hugged Wanyan Mingyue with strong arms, and then let go and turned around, laughing and leaving the high platform.
Wanyan Mingyue stood on the high platform, watched Wanyan Agu go down to the ground, and watched him turn over and get on the horse. A group of generals followed him to the main road south of the school field. Then, countless Jurchen cavalrymen rode their horses to follow. The horse's hooves rise and fall, and the dust flies. The 170,000 Jurchen cavalry officially marched south.
……
One hundred and twenty miles south of Xijin Prefecture, under the city of Zhuozhou on the south bank of the Sanggan River, the overwhelming soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty are approaching the city.
After four days of marching, the Great Zhou vanguard composed of 80,000 cavalry had arrived. According to the agreement with the Liao, they would contact the Liao officials in Zhuozhou City to discuss how to jointly attack the Jurchens.
Leading the 80,000 cavalry was Yang Jun's confidant and favorite general, Han Gang, the commander of the Ansu Army who had been stationed in the border town for a long time. The Ansu Army was originally a mobile cavalry team in the surrounding towns, and their duty was to support the crisis situation in various military towns, which was a huge army of 120,000 cavalry. Most of the cavalry of the Northern Expeditionary Army selected this time were selected from the Ansu Army, so Han Gang was naturally the most suitable person to lead the army. And this time, Han Gang's 80,000 cavalry will also be the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army.
When the cavalry arrived outside the city of Zhuozhou, it was already sunset. After four days of driving to the city of Zhuozhou, everyone was a little tired. However, the officials in Zhuozhou City were unable to open the city gate for a long time to greet them, which made all the soldiers a little irritable.
"Damn, Lao Tzu traveled so far to help them quell the rebellion, is the Liao people so snub us? What did these dog mongrels do to us? ”
"Like, what is this? We're here to help them, why are they so supportive? Why? ”
The soldiers cursed and shouted. Han Gang sat under a big tree and drank water quietly, without much mood swings. In fact, not many people know the true mission of the army, in order to prevent the Liao people from being wary, the public news in the army is that this northern expedition is to assist the Liao State to quell the Jurchen rebellion. But only those core generals knew the true intention of the army's northward advance.
Finally, in anxious waiting, the south gate of Zhuozhou City opened. From the city gate, a group of Liao cavalry rushed out, and there were not many of them. They were surrounded by a young man on a horse. A hundred paces away from the Great Zhou cavalry, they stopped. Someone stepped forward and shouted.
"His Royal Highness the Great Liao Emperor is here to greet the soldiers of the Great Zhou, and invite the generals who lead the army to come and speak."
"Grass you mother, what kind of score do you put on? If you want our Lord Han to come forward and speak, it should be this little prince who comes to greet our adults. The soldiers were full of anger and scolded and shouted.
Han Gang stopped them, got up and walked to the front with a dozen generals. Seeing this, Yelushi, the prince of Liao, who was in charge of contacting the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou, also dismounted and came forward with a smile on his face. The two sides quickly came to one place, and Yelushi bowed first with a smile on his face.
"Yelushi is here to wait for the Great Zhou soldiers. Dare to ask which general it is? Yelushi laughed.
Han Gang arched his hand and said: "I am the commander of the Ansu Army, the vanguard of the Northern Expeditionary Army and the commander of the cavalry, Han Gang." Prince Yelu, be polite. ”
"It turned out to be General Han, and I have been looking up for a long time. You're coming faster than we thought. I thought you'd be there tomorrow. Yelushi laughed.
Han Gang said in a deep voice: "The military order is like fire, how can it be delayed?" The marshal of my family ordered our troops to arrive in Zhuozhou on the fourth day, and we did not dare to delay for half a minute. Prince Yelu didn't think we came early, shouldn't we? ”
Yelushi hurriedly said: "Where, where, I don't mean that. You're here to help us, and we can't ask for it. ”
An adjutant general beside Han Gang shouted: "Can't ask for it? I think you're turning a blind eye. We arrived here after four days' journey, and you ignored our pleas and left us to dry outside the city for an hour. That's not to make sense. We are sleepy, shouldn't we open the gates early and let us in? ”
Yelushi smiled embarrassedly: "I'm very sorry, Shicai is the negligence of his subordinates, I was patrolling in the north of the city, and they reported late, so they delayed the time." We did not mean to be negligent, and we ask for your forgiveness. ”
This reason is obviously a bit far-fetched, but Han Gang didn't care, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, that's nothing." Prince Yelu, it is getting late, and my 80,000 brothers are tired and need to enter the city to rest, so now we can open the city gate and let us enter the city. We'll have to talk about how to cross the Sanggan River tomorrow. ”
Yelushi smacked his lips and said, "This...... This ......"
Han Gang frowned and said, "What? Prince Yelu has something to say. ”
Yelushi swallowed and foamed, plucked up the courage to say, "Okay, then I'll say it directly." That's the case, Zhuozhou is a small city, and with so many of you soldiers and horses entering, I'm afraid it will be difficult to accommodate the arrangement. Can Lord Han lead the generals in, and the rest of the brothers stay outside the city and camp? It's also easy to settle. It is also necessary to avoid chaos in the city of Zhuozhou. ”
"What? Do you want us to camp outside the city? You can say it. We came from Da Zhou, walked hundreds of miles, and people were tired of horses to help you Liao people quell the rebellion, you actually have such an attitude, it is simply unreasonable. The hot-tempered lieutenant shouted loudly, and more than a dozen generals also shouted and cursed.
"No, no, it's really that Zhuozhou is too small and unstable. Your 80,000-strong army poured into the city at once, and it was really difficult to arrange. I also ask General Han to forgive me. We just can't do it. There is no contempt. Yelushi hurriedly explained.
Han Gang frowned and thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Prince Yelu, I don't know what you Liao people think. My Great Zhou sent troops to help you quell the rebellion this time, completely in response to your request, regardless of any price and reward. It's a bit of a rude thing for you to do. I want to ask Prince Yelu, we can't enter Zhuozhou City, so in the future, when our army goes north, will you not let us enter all the state capitals and cities along the way? Do you want us to camp out? ”
Yelushi smacked his lips and said, "This...... It depends. Although you have come to the aid of our Liao country, we have agreed in advance. Follow the customs of the country, and your soldiers and horses must obey the arrangements of my Liao country. Originally, we hoped that your soldiers and horses would be under the unified command of my father, but if you don't agree to this, we can only give up. But this is after all within the territory of my Liao country, if your country's soldiers and horses go their own way, won't it cause chaos. So...... Please also inform me of our difficulties. ”
Han Gang laughed and said, "So, you are actually wary of us, right?" I didn't expect us to lead an army to help you and fight hard for you, but you were suspicious of us. ”
Yelushi frowned and said, "Words can't be said like that, words can't be said like this." That one...... In fact...... I thought I would see the envoy of Da Zhou's Yang Shu today, so I still have something to say to him. Lord Han came first, and some things are hard to say. ”
Han Gang said coldly: "What's not to say?" I can listen to you on behalf of Marshal Yang. Marshal Yang will arrive in two days, and he said that he wants me to contact you with full authority on his behalf, what is there to say? ”
Yelushi thought for a while and said, "Okay, anyway, I have to say it." That one...... The only people we asked you for help were 100,000 soldiers. But I have heard that your Great Zhou seems to have gathered 300,000 troops. That's a bit too much. This seems to be contrary to what we agreed upon. ”
Han Gang laughed and said, "Prince Yelu, what you said is really strange, don't you want us to come as many soldiers and horses as possible?" Doesn't it take a quick solution to quell the Jurchen rebellion? The more we send troops, the happier you will be. ”
Yelushi smacked his lips and said, "That's what you said...... But...... But ......"
Han Gang smiled: "You don't have to vomit, do you Liao people have any doubts?" Treat our kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs? We have come to reinforce you with good intentions, but you not only neglect us and others, but also accuse us endlessly, what do you think? In this case, I think I should return to my marshal and ask Marshal Yang to go to the court and cancel the reinforcements to you. It really doesn't make sense to put a hot face on your cold ass. ”
Han Gang's words were actually coerced, he deliberately said that he wanted to withdraw his troops, thinking that Yelushi would apologize immediately and admit his mistake. But he couldn't have been more wrong.
Yelushi seemed to be relieved, and arched his hand: "Lord Han, why don't you withdraw for the time being?" Waiting for the final decision of your court? It is also to avoid misunderstanding between the two sides. Even if you decide not to send troops to help us, it doesn't matter. After all, it is love to help, and it is duty not to help. It took so much effort to send so many soldiers and horses to you at once, and we really couldn't help it. I have nothing to compensate you for. My father said that we did this matter hastily, and the fault lies with me. My father said that he would personally write to your emperor to explain the matter and thank him and apologize. Or...... How about you camp out of the city tonight and return to the border tomorrow? ”
