Chapter 764: Yanyun Decisive Battle (1) (Ask for subscription!) )
…
Rewind the clock to a month and a half ago.
After Liu Qi received the order from Li Yan that "it is best to win a big victory in the near future to cooperate with the imperial court and Dajin to negotiate peace", Liu Qi came from Shuozhou to Yingzhou overnight to meet Han Shizhong.
After discussing it, the two always believed that the war on the northern front was almost over, and it was time to fight a good battle to draw a successful end to their recovery of Hedong and Yundi.
In addition, the troops of the two had just been replenished, and Li Yan sent another 50,000 reinforcements to the two.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yan ordered them to achieve a big victory recently, and the imperial court negotiated peace with Dajin.
Therefore, Liu Qi and Han Shizhong finally decided to send 70,000 or 80,000 troops each to Yunzhou to fight for power and conquer Yunzhongfu, the first city in Yundi.
For more than two months, the reason why Liu Qi and Han Shizhong have not moved forward in Yundi is mainly because as soon as they send troops, Wanyan Lou will lead Jin to harass them, and they will fight if they can beat them, and they will run if they can't beat them.
Now, with the replenishment of the reserve sent by Li Yan and the 50,000 troops reinforced by Li Yan to their Western Route Army, Liu Qi and Han Shizhong can finally use the large army to crush the harassment tactics of Yan Lou's room.
Soon, Liu Qi and Han Shizhong sent troops from Shuozhou and Yingzhou at the same time.
It didn't take long for Liu Qi's front army to reach Huanzhou and capture it with a devastating force, and then Liu Qi's front army and Han Shizhong's left army were like two dragons to seize the pearl of Yunzhou.
After Yunzhou stayed behind and Yan Yinshu found out about it, he didn't dare to hold it up, and while Qingye transferred all the troops into Yunzhou City to prepare to defend it, he sent people to Wanyan Xian, who was guarding Yanjing, for help.
At this stage, not only does Dazhong need to use victory to increase his bargaining chips, but Dajin also has a similar idea - Wan Yan Chang has already told Wan Yan Xianye about his experience in negotiating peace in Dazhong, and clearly told Wan Yan Xianye that if Dajin wants to negotiate peace with dignity, he can no longer lose on the battlefield, and it is best to fight a big victory, so as to force Dazhong to make concessions in the process of negotiating peace.
Based on this, Wan Yan Xian also decided after comprehensive consideration to take the risk of a surprise attack on Liu Qi and Han Shizhong's troops who invaded Yunzhou.
The main reason why Wan Yan Xian also had this decision is that after fighting with Yue Fei for several months, Wan Yan Xian also completely saw Yue Fei's difficulty, and decided that if there was no accident in Yue Fei's hands, it would be impossible to achieve a big victory, and then he would not be able to deal with Yan Chang's peace, and Liu Qi and Han Shizhong almost poured out of the nest this time, Shuozhou and Yingzhou must be empty, even if they can't win Liu Qi and Han Shizhong, they can also surprise Shuozhou and Yingzhou, in short, there is a chance to win.
Of course, Wan Yan Xian also took Yanjing's safety into account.
But—
Yanjing was the capital of many dynasties, and even Li Yan lived here for a while.
Especially during the period when the Northern Song Dynasty got Yanjing and after Wanyan Zongwang became the ruler of Yanjing, Yanjing was rebuilt and strengthened in various ways to make it a first-class fortified city.
This is also one of the main reasons why Yue Fei failed to attack Yanjing for more than four months.
As a commander who has not been defeated for more than 20 years, Wan Yan Xian also knows very well that no matter how strong the city is, it is impossible to completely unbreakable, and only with a first-class commander and the soldiers who work together to defend it, the city will not be broken.
Now, Dazhong has forced Dajin to the point where there is no way out - if they retreat, they will not be able to protect their wives and children.
Therefore, putting aside the residents in Yanjing City, at least in the Jin army, especially among the Jurchens, they can be united.
In this way, there is only a lack of a first-class commander, who will lead the soldiers to guard Yanjing.
Wanyan Xian also picked and chose among the generals under him, and finally selected one person - Wanyan Hulugu.
This Wanyan Hulugu is not a member of the royal family, he is just a child of the Wanyan Department, and he and Wanyan Aguta can't even trace their common ancestors, which shows how many rooms they are apart.
The order of the Jurchens against the Liao was: first unify the Jurchens, then annex the mature Jurchens, and finally launch a general attack on the Liao.
When Yan Agu fought against Liao, the birth of Jurchen was basically unified.
Wanyan Lugu has always been known for his bravery, so Wanyan Agu ordered him to liberate the mature girl.
After Yan Hulugu received the order, he first fought against the Liao Jiedu to make Yelu Tart, and then beheaded the Liao capital Yelu Shilou, and finally conquered Liaoxian Prefecture with the Jurchen god of war Wanyan Lou.
The Liao army then counterattacked, and was defeated by Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Hulugu.
Subsequently, Wanyan Hulugu was appointed as the commander of the Xianzhou army by Wanyan Aguta.
Next, Gao Yongchang, a former Bohai native, took advantage of the chaos to establish the Great Bohai State on the Liaodong Peninsula, trying to stand on his own.
The Liao State sent a large army to attack, but Gao Yongchang was defeated and asked the Jurchens for help.
Wanyan Agu persuaded Gao Yongchang to remove the emperor name and return to the Jurchens.
Gao Yongchang didn't listen.
In the name of rescue, Wanyan Agu sent Wanyan Hulu Gushuai and his troops to advance into the Liaodong Peninsula, first defeating the Liao army, and then destroying Gao Yongchang.
Wanyan Lugu led the army from Xianzhou at that time, coordinated operations, made many military achievements, and finally captured Liaodong.
Since then, the mature women have basically all been attached to the Jin Kingdom.
When Wanyan Aguda attacked Nanjing (i.e., Yanjing), the Northern Liao Emperor Yeluchun led the Yanjing Forbidden Army, the Yanyun Militia and the Resentment Army to fight with the Jin army at Tribulus Mountain (later Fuxinbei, Liaoning).
Wanyan Lugu and Wanyan Lou and Di Gu Nai (Wan Yan Zhong) led the army to break the Northern Liao army.
Wanyan Lugu made a great contribution to the Jurchen's anti-Liao cause, and he was also the leading general of the Jin State.
However, later Wanyan Lugu became a little proud and self-contained because of his outstanding exploits - he lived in Xianzhou for a long time, covered the sky with one hand, indulged in lawlessness, especially good at wine and good women, connived at his subordinates to rob public property, and he was also insatiable, and many of the spoils were concealed by him and kept for himself, which gradually aroused the dissatisfaction of other generals and was denounced one after another.
Wanyan Agu was furious, demoted Wanyan Hulugu, and replaced his place with another clan, Wanyan Brother - this also saved Wanyan Hulugu's life, otherwise, when the Chinese army attacked the Liaodong Peninsula, it would not be Wanyan Brother but Wanyan Lugu who died.
After that, Wanyan Hulugu was no longer heavily used, and only participated in some minor counterinsurgency work.
But the fierce generals of the Jin Kingdom, such as Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Zhong, Wanyan Pujianu, and Wanyan Hulu, in the process of going south, those who died in battle were captured by Dazhong.
In addition, the older generation of Jin generals, like Wanyan Sagai, Wanyan Xiong, Wanyan Xi Bu, and Ah Clutch, have long since died.
As a result, Jin Guomeng will be seriously understated at present.
Moreover, Wanyan Aguta passed away a few years ago.
Therefore, on the occasion of employing people, Wanyan Xian will also be used again by Wanyan Lugufu.
Compared to the other generals under Wanyan Xieye, Wanyan Hulugu's seniority is much higher.
The key is that after coming out of the mountain again this time, Wanyan Hulugu put away his previous arrogant problems, and Wanyan Xian also pointed out where he fought, and made a lot of military exploits.
As a result, Wanyan Xian also handed over the responsibility of guarding Yanjing to Wanyan Hulugu, and led 50,000 elite horsemen out of Juyong Pass to fight Liu Qi and Han Shizhong......
