Chapter 509: Parties 3
Now there are only two roads left in front of the remnants of the Jin army.
However, in fact, these two roads are just nine deaths or one sink, half a catty and eight taels.
Wanyan Zongwang insisted on going to the Western Regions, because then there was at least a glimmer of hope for reviving Dajin - although the possibility of being directly killed by someone when he arrived at the place accounted for more than ninety percent.
And Wanyan Zonggan always wanted to go to the ice and snow in northern Liaobei to get this remnant of his life, it was too far and cold over there, and the possibility of large-scale pursuit and killing by the Qi army was slightly lower, Wanyan Zonggan took one or two thousand armor soldiers over, and he could probably dominate for decades in the savage pile.
Then Daikin will completely annihilate everyone.
"Have you forgotten Khan Amma's original wish?"
Wanyan Zongwang hated iron and said with no steel:
"Khan Ama has told us that his wish is to build a Jurchen state of his own, a great empire! He succeeded, but those of us who were sons buried the empire again! How are we going to see Khan Amma after we die!? ”
"The Dajin Kingdom is gone, and we don't have the face to see Khan Amma."
Wanyan Zonggan still didn't care and said:
"I don't care about this now, I'm going to Liaobei, I don't want to gamble on that chance of dying for a lifetime."
"You!" Wanyan Zongwang had nothing to say at all.
"If you want to go west, now is the time to go." Wanyan Zonggan said in an indifferent tone: "Leave those Tartars in the north to me to deal with, but if you don't leave, I guess you won't have a chance to leave." ”
The Qi army may not necessarily chase to the Molong River, but if the 20,000 Jin army is entrenched near Chagan Lake, they will definitely not let it go lightly.
"You're a coward!" Wanyan Zongwang viciously left his brother with one last word.
On the twenty-second day of the first month of the sixth year of Longdao, the remnants of the Jin army that were hunted in winter near Chagan Lake formed a split, and Wanyan Zongwang proclaimed himself the emperor Khan, and led 8,000 Jurchen armor soldiers to the west.
Wanyan Zonggan called himself Tiande Khan and led 7,000 armor soldiers to the north towards the Molong River.
The two former Bo Jilie originally had 20,000 armor soldiers, and as soon as they set off, the number of fugitives was already close to 5,000.
It can be seen from this how sad the state of the Jin army is at this time.
……
On the 28th of January, the Qi army pursued to the vicinity of Chagan Lake, where it joined the Fifth Route Army.
Commander Feng Sanhu found nearly a thousand Jurchens who had taken refuge near Chagan Lake, and he learned from these captives about the movements of the remnants of the Jin army.
At this time, Feng Sanhu had 10,000 soldiers in his hands, and if he fought a decisive battle at Chagan Lake, he was confident that he would kill Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Zongwang at the same time, but both of them fled, and his supplies were not enough to support the troops to continue the pursuit.
So Feng Sanhu decided to wait for Xu Shiyang and the staff headquarters to make the next decision.
Without the main force to support, only a few hundred Han soldiers and the 4,000 Jurchen Fifth Route Army naturally had no way to stop the Jurchen armor soldiers as high as 7,000, so they could only let the Zonggan army flee north.
……
On the twenty-fifth day of the first month of the sixth year of the Great Zhou Longdao, the Mengwu grassland.
Gulhan Zamuhe did not learn the news of the fall of Liaoshen until this time, and he regretted it too much, originally according to his idea, the Mongolian army should beat the side drum when the Qi army attacked, and how much from the corpse of the Jin people to make up for the past losses.
However, no one expected that the Qi army would actually launch an attack in winter.
In winter, the herders are hiding from the white plague, and there is no way to gather for war. Besides, Zamuhe was still fantasizing that Xu Shiyang could ask him to help contain the Jin army from the side.
As a result, Xu Shiyang ignored him at all, and suddenly solved all the problems by himself......
This made Zamuhe feel that he had lost a lot of money, so he ordered the troops to be assembled, intending to reluctantly gather some men and horses, and try to pick up some scum before the Qi army had time to take Liaodong.
……
Let's go back to the fifteenth day of the first month of the fifth year of Longdao.
Jiangnan, Lin'an.
A poetry meeting is nearing its end.
This is the Lantern Festival poetry meeting held by the Wenxiang Mansion as usual, and the process is exactly the same as before: the Wenxiang Guild selects a newcomer among the young scholars who participate in the poetry meeting this year, and counts him as the leader of the poetry club, and the Wenxiang Guild personally presents a set of pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The prize is worthless, but it is of great significance, and in the eyes of many people, participating in the poetry meeting of the Wenxiang family is equivalent to a dry confession, and it is a good opportunity to jump into the dragon gate.
However, this year's Lantern Festival Poetry Festival is a little different.
Because of the best young performers this year...... It's a tartar!
This person's name is Shanbao, who claims to be an envoy of the Jin State, who detoured through Sichuan Province from the Mengwu Grassland, surrounded most of the entire Central Plains, and finally bypassed the sphere of influence of the Qi State to reach the Great Zhou.
After arriving in Lin'an, Shanbao first went to meet Emperor Longdao.
In any case, there was a peace treaty between Zhou and Jin, and since the two countries recognized each other, there was no reason why Emperor Longdao should not receive Shanbao.
Wen Xianggong, who had already sent a message, did not know what the emperor had said to the Tartar envoy, who was very tired from the exertion, but according to Wen Zhong, the emperor was very polite to Shanbao and gave him a farewell banquet.
Wen Xianggong immediately felt that something was wrong, and despite the sensitivity of his identity, he asked to enter the palace to meet the emperor, but it was unsuccessful.
What embarrassed Da Zhou was that after Shanbao came out of the palace, he began to trumpet that the emperor had become suspicious of King Qi, and if King Qi was really a loyal minister, he should immediately give up the throne, hand over military power and territorial governance, and express allegiance to Emperor Longdao.
Shanbao said that Emperor Longdao had agreed to the request of the Jin State to be a minister, and there was no doubt that he was the ancient Ming Jun who had inherited three generations, and even a barbaric Tartar like himself expressed his sincerity and was willing to serve the Great Zhou Yongzhen Liaodong, and the King of Qi had no reason to refuse.
Not to mention people like Wen Xianggong, even if it is an ordinary official, they can see that Shanbao is sowing discord, or a very low-level sowing discord, but the palace has no voice about this, and allows Shanbao to promote his views everywhere.
Many people realized that the situation was not good, and the young Emperor Longdao didn't know what was going on, and he was actually moved by a Tartar like Shanbao!
During the Spring Festival in the fifth year of Longdao, Xu Shiliu, who was in Jinghu, sent people to Wenfu to pay New Year's greetings, and after hearing about this, he angrily wrote to Wen Xianggong, demanding that Shanbao be executed immediately.
But Wen Xianggong couldn't do this, for the simple reason that Shanbao was a messenger, and the Han people traditionally did not kill envoys.
What's more, Shanbao also has the emperor's faint protection.
So someone invited Shanbao at the Lantern Festival poetry meeting in Wenfu this time, originally to let this Tartar make a good appearance and let Xu Shiliu Xu take a bad breath, but he didn't think that this Tartar was actually very good at reciting poetry, and he was able to overwhelm the young scholars who came to do it this year at the poetry meeting!
It's embarrassing.
Shanbao sat proudly on the chair, dressed in the costume of a Han scholar, and fanned in the winter, waiting for the end of the poetry meeting.
If it weren't for the fact that he still had a rattail of money, it would be difficult for others to imagine that this was actually a tartar who was regarded as a barbarian.
He slapped the young scholar in Jiangnan in the face today, and even Wen Jifu's face became very ugly.
Of course, the more ugly the Han man's face, the more comfortable his mood became.
