Chapter 48 Returning the Horse to Your Hometown-2
Zhao Xingde looked at Xu Detai and the other Han generals who advocated the promotion of Han Ningshuang as the leader of the alliance with deep meaning, and asked in a deep voice: "If it is adapted to Meng'an Mouke, will it be to listen to the Han clan or the court of the Jin Kingdom?" This is a topic that some people avoid, but he uncovers it mercilessly. This is said to be righteous and awe-inspiring, if everyone didn't know that he was the envoy of the Xia Kingdom, I am afraid that they would think that this person was a confidant general who had followed the Han clan for several generations.
Xu Detai immediately said in a deep voice: "We naturally serve the Han family. Lu Kui also said: "If you have something in the back of your head, don't call yourself the Han Army." The two of them spoke together, as if they had said it in advance, and more than a dozen generals of the Han army who were the oldest in Liaodong, had the most soldiers and horses, and were the most loyal to the Han clan echoed, "Which mongrel wants to sell his master for glory, first bring down his stockade!" "We only listen to Miss Han's orders!" Even if someone secretly moved his mind to throw himself into Jin Guo, he could only remain silent at the moment.
"Sure enough," Zhao Xingde said secretly in his heart, once again confirming his guess, for today's meeting, Han Ningshuang and Xu Detai and other Han army generals are not unprepared, and even have been in contact for a long time, otherwise, more than 100 Han generals here, and they are in different villages all year round, no matter how loyal they are, it is impossible to say so unanimous. "It seems that Xu Detai and Lu Kui are Han Ningshuang's right and left hands to contact and manipulate these Han generals. They don't want to tear their faces with Jin Guo, or they don't want to offend other Han generals at once, so they ......" Zhao Xingde felt a trace of unhappiness in his heart, but his face was silent, secretly observing these Han generals who seemed to be rude and unliterate, but in fact had their own scheming.
Sensing Zhao Xingde's gaze, Han Ningshuang nodded at him and smiled slightly. She was dressed in a pale blue robe, with a long sword hanging from her waist, without applying grease or deliberately covering her complexion, and this smile made people's hearts shake. Wanyan Zongbi has been secretly paying attention to her, and he can't help but be angry, and said secretly: "Could it be that Ning Shuang actually fell in love with this surnamed Zhao?"
Zhao Xingde secretly said that no matter whether the Han army had premeditated or not, it was in the interests of the Xia State to destroy the alliance between the Jin State and the Han Army. Thinking about this clearly, he put aside the unhappiness of Shicai, cleared his throat, and said in a deep voice: "The co-leader of the Han army in Liaodong is the Han family, which cannot be shaken. Therefore, although the Han army formed an alliance with the Jin State, without the consent of Miss Han, the Jin court could not directly command the Han army to fight, let alone use the Han army as a signed army, divide and rule on the battlefield, and let the Han army make senseless sacrifices. ”
When the leaders of the Han village heard him mention the "signing army", their faces changed slightly, and the Khitans and Jurchens had the system of "signing the army", which was to drive the people to fill the ravines with their blades and consume the enemy's strength with human lives. The strength of the Han army is weak, and after the alliance with the Jin State, even if it is adapted to the Han Meng'an Mouke, it is still not the descendant of the Wanyan Department, and it is very likely to be used as a sign army. ”
Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said: "Zhao envoy is too worried, Meng'an Mouke is the founding system of Dajin, how can he talk about the same day as the signing army." ”
"Really?" Zhao Xingde didn't argue with him, looked at the Han generals around him, and said in a deep voice: "To be fair, all the villages of the Han army are good men, and they can't favor one over the other. ”
The leaders of the Han army in each village were overjoyed, and said secretly: "This envoy of the Xia Kingdom is sincerely planning for us. In the face of naked interests, the delicate and warm bodies beside him seem to be able to ignore them. Many people shouted: "That's right, there are thousands of people under us, at least we have an official position." "In fact, did he count all the newly coerced people, and there were only a few hundred soldiers in the stockade.
As soon as he heard that the Han army was going to organize more than forty Meng'an, Wanyan Zongbi's face was a little ugly. The Wanyan tribe subdued the Jurchen tribes and established the Jin State, which has always been close and different. The relatives of Wanyan Aguta are the most noble, followed by the cronies of the tribe surnamed Wanyan, followed by the leaders of other Jurchen tribes, and the generals of other races. Meng'an Mouke is the fundamental system of the Jin Dynasty, no matter how big your official position is, if you talk about power, it still depends on how many Meng'an soldiers and horses you have. The Han and Bohai people have not been given the post of Meng'an so far.
Mr. Han Da coughed and said in a deep voice: "This official position, Han will try his best to fight for everyone, but some of the strength of the village is weak, I am afraid that they can only succumb to the position of seeking victory." ”
As soon as he heard that he could only do the job of Mouke, that is, the position of centurion, many Han generals who regarded themselves very high and lacked strength suddenly showed a look of disappointment. Zhao Xingde smiled slightly at the corner of his eyes, the entire Jin country is only a few dozen Meng'an, if the Han army and the owner of the village have the position of Meng'an, wouldn't the Jurchen magnates make a fuss. This is the death hole of the Jin State to win over the Han army, no matter how Wanyan Aguta tries to win over the Han army, and how powerful Mr. Han Da is, it can't change the fact that the Jin State is the foundation of the Jurchen tribe. As long as this layer is broken, between the Jin State and the Han army, there will be a thorn that cannot be pulled out. Looking at the expressions of Yan Zongbi and Mr. Han Da, the idea of "I'd rather be a chicken head than a cow queen" popped up in the hearts of many Han army generals.
Just when the Han generals were talking about it, Han Ningshuang whispered a few words to Xu Detai, Xu Detai's face was slightly pale, and he came over and whispered to Zhao Xingde: "Thank you General Zhao for your help, although today's matter is a little privately arranged, and it was not deliberately concealed from General Zhao, but the eldest lady still deliberately explained to General Zhao and asked the general to move to see him." Zhao Xingde glanced at Han Ningshuang, she was looking over here, and seeing Zhao Xingde nodded, Han Ningshuang smiled slightly and turned to leave.
After the feast was dispersed, Wanyan Aguda returned to the tent with the two princes, and Mr. Han Da told the story of the appropriate talent one by one. He said that Zhao De returned to the banquet after leaving the table, lit torches, and asked his subordinates three questions, which made the Han army in the drunken and gentle township ashamed. "Every time before the battle, he has to personally motivate the soldiers, so he naturally knows the mystery. He praised his enemies so much that he inspired the competitive spirit of several princes. Mr. Han Da also said that the conditions proposed by Zhao De on behalf of the Han army were expressionless at the beginning of the completion of the Yan Aguta, and when it was mentioned that the Han army asked the Jin State for more than 40 Meng'an establishments, Aguta's face changed slightly, and several princes were even more colorful. Wanyan Zonghan scolded: "It's ridiculous, these pig-like guys actually want to be on an equal footing with Wanyan? Wanyan Zongwang said angrily: "If it weren't for Mr. Han's face, I would have taken the soldiers and horses to clean them up now." Wanyan Zongbi's chest was even more uncomfortable with a cloud of anger.
According to Mr. Han Da's arrangement, after these Han army generals returned to the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Zongbi was respected as the four princes of the Jin Kingdom, and they were married with favors, and several of Mr. Han Da's henchmen could elect him as the leader of the alliance. The emperor's uncle Wu Qimai is deeply rooted in the clan, and more than a dozen Meng'an are dead set on him, and his henchmen are only three Meng'an, and his father's own brothers have an unclear attitude. Although the more than 10,000 Han troops are vulnerable, they can control millions of Han people in Liaodong, which is a great help in the struggle for the throne. These arrangements were all disrupted by Zhao De's sudden disturbance, and Han Ningshuang took the opportunity to take the position of alliance leader.
"It's all about the surname Zhao sowing discord." Thinking of this, Wanyan Zongbi hated it and said angrily: "I'm going to bring this man and cut off his tongue." "Put your hand on the handle of the knife at your waist.
"Nonsense!" Wanyan Aguda's face sank, "How many times have I said that our Wanyan Nu's real strength is weak, and there is a big enemy like the Khitan Liao Kingdom, how can we make enemies with the Xia Kingdom again!" Can you face two beasts at the same time while hunting? His thick palm slammed on the table, and the green tendons on the back of his palm flare, which showed that he was really angry, and then coughed violently twice. Mr. Han Da saw it in his eyes, and sighed in his heart, Wanyan Agu has fought countless battles in this life, from the leader of a weak tribe to the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and decades of open and secret fighting, Rong Ma is handsome, and he is about to exhaust his energy.
After this feast, some of the generals of the Han army were worried, some were full of excitement, and some were silent. When everyone was running to contact, Zhao Xingde followed Xu Detai to Han Ningshuang's car camp. The Han clan is the co-owner of the Han people in Liaodong, and if they want to survive in a dangerous place, they have to pay more attention. Everywhere he went, he easily did not enter the city, did not live in other people's houses, and only camped in open fields. If you encounter a surprise attack from the enemy, you can also fight your way out under the escort of your henchmen.
Zhao Xingde secretly praised Han Ningshuang's layout in his heart. He has seen all the villages of the Han army, and there is no place like Han Ningshuang who has managed the camp so strictly. I saw that the tall and sturdy carriages were connected to each other in a circle, hundreds of horses were encircled in the camp, two thick wooden stakes were arranged outside the gate of the wall, and the cavalry posts were patrolling and guarding the surroundings from afar. The soldiers in the camp buried pots and cooked rice, practiced martial arts, drank horses and sharpened their knives, and everything was carried out in an orderly manner, but the enemy situation was disturbed, and they could immediately get on their horses and fight. "This is what the Han army should look like." Xu Detai sighed, "It's a pity that the eldest lady is not a man. ”
Han Ningshuang is elegant, but he can ride and shoot like the Jurchens. Like the previous head of the Han family, Han Ningshuang did not care about his identity at all, and was able to be a corporal and share weal and woe with the soldiers. And the orders are extremely strict, and those subordinates who violate military discipline will not be tolerated and nurtured. Many of the elite warriors selected by the Han Village are unruly, and many young generals have also had the idea of being a colt, but since following Han Ningshuang's side, it didn't take long for her to be respectful and fearful, and they didn't dare to have strange thoughts again.
At the entrance of the camp, Wang Ji instructed his soldiers to move away the horses built of thick wooden piles, and said, "Third uncle, I heard that the eldest lady is the leader of the alliance herself." Xu Detai nodded, and Wang Ji smiled: "That's right." The guards moved the first antlers, Xu Detai led the horse into the gate, and the guards moved the second antler stake.
The tent of the Chinese army was very simple, but it looked extraordinarily neat, with saddles, swords, bows and crossbows, and books neatly arranged. Han Ningshuang was holding a half-foot-wide map of Liaodong Province and looking at it, and there were seven or eight Han army generals inside, and they could see joy and excitement in each other's eyes. In the past ten days since they came to Huanglong Mansion, although they were calm on the surface, they and Mr. Han Da had been fighting endlessly, and today they finally had a showdown, so that the eldest lady personally took the position of the leader of the alliance.
