November of the sixth year of Xuanhe

Jizhou

Jizhou is the place where the Song and Jin Dynasty are handed over, located in the west of Pingzhou and the east of Yanshan Mansion.

Wanyan Zongwang's army set off from Pingzhou, and the first to bear the brunt was Jizhou.

Yutian County in Jizhou is the first place in Jizhou, at this time in the county capital of Yutian County, two officials are drinking tea, one is Xing Wei, the county magistrate of Yutian County, and the other is Fu Cha, a member of the foreign government who is preparing to go to the Jin State to celebrate the New Year on the order of Zhao Ji.

According to the agreement between the Jin and Song dynasties, the two countries should send envoys to each other to celebrate the New Year every year on festivals such as New Year's Day.

Although the official is small, after all, he is from the capital, and this is a diplomatic event, and Fu Cha will definitely be promoted after he goes back, so Xing Wei is also careful to serve and entertain constantly.

At this time, the two had just had lunch and were chatting in the mansion, Fu Cha looked at the deserted county government and sighed, "Lord Xing has the skill of Huang Lao, I have passed by countless county governments, and it is Yutian who is so inactive." ”

Xing Wei smiled bitterly, shook his head and said, "Where is the art of Huang Lao, just because when the Jin State withdrew from Yutian in the past, all the rich households were moved away, and there were not many cattle and horses left. ”

Fu Cha frowned and said, "In this way, isn't it the king's order not to leave the county government?" ”

Xing Wei sighed, "Fortunately, I have a garrison in Yutian, but I am not afraid of bandits, otherwise I will not sleep peacefully." ”

As he was talking, there was a sudden uproar outside, Xing Wei frowned and looked outside, and said suspiciously, "Could it be that which one is doing red and white things, but it's a big move." ”

"Jin Guo is calling! Jin Guo called!! ”

A shout from far to near came, causing both of them to be stunned for a moment.

"Lord Xing? Jin Guo... Called? Fucha was still suspicious of his ears.

A servant ran in and stammered, "No... Oh no, the second prince of Jin Guo led an army of 200,000 to come over, saying that he would go to Kaifeng to arrest the official family and ask for the crime. ”

Fu Cha's brain was stunned, and when he looked back for a while, Xing Wei was gone, and he hurriedly shouted, "Lord Xing!" Lord Xing!! ”

"Master Fu, why are you still staying here, quickly pack up and prepare to escape!" God knows where Xing Wei found the people's clothes, they were already dressed neatly, holding a wife dressed as a peasant woman in one hand, holding a child who didn't know what was going on in the other, and several officials didn't know where to turn out the torn clothes, and they were changing.

"Xing... Master Xing.. What are you? "Fu Chajiu sits in the middle of the court, and the officials in Kaifeng are in contact with them on weekdays, no matter how the officials in Kaifeng are, they still look like gentlemen, even if Tong Guan and others often pay attention to their external image.

Of course, if Phouca had lived a few more years, he would have known his colleagues something else.

"Oh, my Lord Fu, Jin Guodu has betrayed the alliance, you might as well go back to Tokyo first to resume your life. The rest of the life was given in vain! ”

Fu Cha hesitated for a moment, and finally said firmly, "I was ordered by the Son of Heaven to send an envoy to the Jin Kingdom, if I fled before I saw the Jin people, then what face would I have to go to see the king?" I'm going to meet the Jin army and ask them why they betrayed the alliance! ”

Xing Wei shook his head, feeling that Fu Cha was stupid to read, so he fled first with his subordinates and his wife.

Wanyan Zongwang drove all the way to Yutian County, did not encounter a little resistance on the road, as if it was an autumn tour, arrived at Yutian County, saw the city gate open, a pair of carriages and horses drove out, straight to the army, couldn't help but feel strange, so that the left and right could not shoot arrows, let the carriage and horses come over.

The carriage and horse approached, and the driver stepped down, straightened his clothes, and shouted, "Fu Cha, the envoy of the Great Song Kingdom, asks to see the commander of the Great Jin Kingdom." ”

Wanyan Zongwang thought it was interesting, so he asked him to come over, Fu Cha stepped forward, saw Wanyan Zongwang and the others, and arched his hand and said, "Fu Cha, the envoy of the Great Song Kingdom, has seen the generals of the Dajin Kingdom, may I ask why you violated my border?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang was a little angry when he saw Fu Cha so arrogant, and shouted, "You are a messenger, why don't you kneel when you see me?" ”

Fu Cha didn't prepare to go back alive this time, he just wanted to leave a name in history, so he learned from the ancients and laughed loudly: "I am the envoy of the upper kingdom, and you are the minister of the lower state, how can I worship?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang said angrily, "Ignorant and rotten, you dare to put on a stand here today, you are not afraid of death?" ”

Fu Cha snorted, "Your country is treacherous, and the generals are not afraid of death, what am I afraid of?" Today I have come to do the king's work, and if I die, I will die, and I will not kneel on my knees! ”

Wanyan Zongwang couldn't stand it at all, and said to the left and right, "Come on, hang me on the flagpole!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi cherished Fu Cha's loyalty a little, and persuaded him, "Right Shuai, I think this person is very loyal, it is better to imprison him first, and slowly persuade him to surrender, wouldn't it be a pity to die like this?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang was a little moved, but looking at Fu Cha with an arrogant face, he shook his head and said, "The people of the Song Kingdom are ten times larger than me, I will wait for this time to go south, if I can't kill the prestige and scare the Song people away, it will be difficult!" "Say that, order the execution of the left and right.

Fu Cha didn't say a word, bowed to the south three times, and calmly took justice. After Yan Zongwang hanged him, he was burned and abandoned by the roadside.

Wanyan Zongwang continued to march to Jizhou, and Wuhan Ying, the general of Jizhou, learned that the Jin army was coming, and Fu Cha was dead, and said to the left and right, "Although I am a Liao, I have also eaten the Song Dynasty's Yulu, I want to die, are you willing to join me?" ”

As mentioned earlier, this Yanshan Mansion is surrounded by the ever-winning army, and the same is true of Jizhou, these generals of the ever-winning army are all chilled because the Song State killed Zhang Jue, and they have hardly won many battles with the Jin army, so they are not willing to fight to the death, Wuhan Yingjian bowed his head left and right, and sighed, "That's it, the state affairs are here, I can only serve the official family." ”

Wuhan Ying returned to the mansion by himself, found his henchman Sha Li and said, "The Jin Kingdom is coming, Jizhou is no longer defendable, Fu Cha is the messenger of the Son of Heaven, and he is already in Yutian on the Death Festival, you can't let him throw the body outside, do you dare to collect the body?" ”

This Sha Li was originally an Orion, and he joined the resentful army in the Battle of Liaojin, and he smiled at Wuhan Ying and said, "General, don't worry, my life was originally picked up, even if I lose it, it's nothing." ”

Wuhan Ying asked Sha Li to disguise himself and personally send him out of the city, and when Yan Zongwang was killed under the city, he fell to his death from the city tower, and Jizhou surrendered without a fight.

Sha Li came to Yutian County day and night, found Fu Cha's bones, and was about to converge, when he suddenly saw that there was still a group of people picking up the bones, he thought about it, and felt that it would not be a golden person, so he appeared and asked, "Guys are collecting the bones of Master Fu?" ”

There were about four or five people in this wave, and when they saw a person coming out of the grass, they all drew their swords and bows vigilantly, and when they saw that there was only one person, they asked the leader, "Who are you?" ”

Sha Li arched his hand and said: "Jizhou Jiedu envoy Wu under the command of General Wu Sha Li." He was ordered to come and collect the body of Master Fu. ”

The man respectfully arched his hand and said, "I heard that General Wu has died, since the hero is under the command of General Wu, he must also be a loyal person, and we are also ordered to collect the corpse for Lord Fu, since the hero is here, it is better to be together." ”

Shali was overjoyed, it was always safe to have a companion, and Shali was helping to pick up the bones everywhere that had been pulled by the beast, and it didn't take long to finish picking them up.

Sha Li couldn't help but ask, "I still don't know where your brothers' names come from?" ”

The man at the head smiled and said, "I'm just a folk volunteer, and I don't have to say anything." ”

Sha Li looked at these people who were all dressed in black, and their blades were also very sophisticated, and he didn't believe that this was a folk person, but when he saw that he didn't say anything, he didn't ask anymore, and said, "Do the brothers want to send Master Fu's corpse back to Kaifeng?" ”

The man was a little embarrassed and said, "The Jin army is going south, we still want to find out some military information, share the worries of the imperial court, and the remains of Master Fu are hidden, and it is not too late to take them out when they recover here in the future." ”

Sha Li thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The war between the two countries is probably not going to be subsided in a few years, I still want to bring Master Fu's body back to Kaifeng and hand it over to his family, and I also count the intentions of my general." ”

Several people discussed for a while, and the man at the head said, "Okay, we will go south with you, and we can also inquire about the reality of the golden soldiers on the way." ”

Not to mention the various difficulties encountered by Sha Li and others on the way south, after Wanyan Zongwang took Jizhou, he divided his troops into two roads, led by himself and slowly attacked Yanshan Mansion to the west, and led by Wanyan Zongbi to attack Jingzhou.

Jingzhou is located in Zunhua in later generations, because it is backed by the Great Wall, if it is not taken, the abdomen of Wanyan Zongwang's army will be in danger.

Wanyan Zongbi took 5,000 men and horses and rushed to Jingzhou happily, this was the first time he led the army alone, and he couldn't help but be a little excited.

Wanyan Zongbi led 5,000 soldiers and horses all the way to Shimen Town, this Shimen Town is as the name suggests, it is really like a Shimen general guard between two mountains, the topography of Jingzhou is extremely interesting, the north is Yanshan, there is a thin mountain range in the south to wrap it, the only passage from Jizhou to Jingzhou is Shimen Town.

Due to the dangerous terrain, two generals of the Changsheng Army were stationed this time, namely Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren.

These two are veterans of the old resentful army, there are 8,000 soldiers and horses here, and another 7,000 volunteers, counting 15,000 men and horses, they have already received the news that the Jin army is going south, and they have hoarded all the soldiers and horses in Shimen Town, ready to defend carefully.

Judging from the books, Guo Yaoshi's winning army has 100,000 soldiers and horses at this time, and it is known as 300,000 to the outside world, which is not a complete disadvantage compared with the Jin soldiers.

When he knew that the Jin army only had 5,000 people, Zhang Linghui was overjoyed and said, "Lao Liu, this is our opportunity, I heard that this time the leader of the army is a stinky boy who has not dried up, the soldiers are only 5,000, and the generals are no more than a few. ”

Liu Shunren also felt that he would not lose, if he faced Wanyan Zongwang, he would not dare to fight, but against Wanyan Zongbi, who had no name, plus almost three times the number of troops, he felt that no matter how he was, he could fight half a catty.

The two made up their minds, so they prepared more stones and trees in Shimen Town, preparing to rely on the city to fight a defensive battle.

The two waited for a day, but they didn't wait for Yan Zongbi to finish, Zhang Linghui felt that something was wrong, and said to Liu Yuren, "This is less than a hundred miles away, for cavalry, it can be reached in one day, why hasn't Yan Zongbi arrived yet?" ”

Liu Yuren also felt strange, and sent a horse ranger to investigate, and a few hours later, there was a horse survey report, saying that the Jin army was wandering less than thirty miles from Shimen Town.

Zhang Linghui said with a smile: "After this, Yan Zongbi won't be scared when he sees that we are heavily guarded, right?" ”

Although Liu Yuren always felt that something was wrong, he couldn't figure it out, and finally said, "If the Jin army breaks through Yanshan, what should we do?" ”

Zhang Linghui said without any burden: "If General Guo is surrendered, what if we surrender to the Jin Kingdom?" ”

Whether it is the victorious army or the resentful army, there is no psychological burden on the surrender, they are not loyal to any country or emperor, but themselves, as long as it is beneficial to them, they are willing to do it.

Here, Zhang Linghui and the two were guarding Shimen Town, on a hillside about forty miles away from Shimen Town, and had just ended a battle.

The corpses of hundreds of victorious soldiers were scattered in all corners of the hillside, and teams of Jin troops rode war horses and kept cruising, and when they saw that they were still panting, they went down with a shot, and outside the valley, Wanyan Zongbi was wiping his battle axe, and next to him was a golden man with a thin eye and a short beard.

"Your Highness, our army has won a complete victory in this battle, and the Song army may not get news in three or five days, it is only dozens of miles away from Jingzhou, and it can be done in half a day." The Jin man said to Wanyan Zongbi, "Then Jingzhou probably doesn't know that we have broken through this hundred grass tops, you can select dozens of elites, dress up as the Song army, and blend into the city. ”

Wanyan Zongbi nodded with a smile and said, "The military advisor is really good at planning, I remember you as the most alert when I was a child, and today is better than in the past." ”

This detailed short-bearded Jin man is Wan Yan Zongbi in the past, called Ha Mi Chi, resourceful, quite courageous, this time Jin sent troops, he took the initiative to find Wan Yan Zongbi, Wan Yan Zongbi saw his great joy, first asked why he hadn't seen him for many years, only to know that Ha Mi Chi came into contact with the Song people a few years ago and dared to be curious about the Song Kingdom, and secretly followed the Song people to live in the Song State for several years, and traveled all over the dozens of state capitals of the Great Song Dynasty.

Baicao Ding is the first plan he offered, this Baicao Ding is a secret passage, only one hillside can be guarded, due to the narrow passage, the remote location, Zhang Linghui and the two are only five hundred sergeants guarded, how did they not expect to be used by Ha Mi Chi to break this place.

After listening to Yan Zongbi's compliments, Ha Miqi first said a few words modestly, and then said, "The soldiers are fast, let's march quickly." ”

- Shimen Town

Zhang Linghui, who had been waiting for two days, couldn't stand it anymore and began to take turns to rest, at this time Zhang Linghui had just fallen asleep, and was called up by Liu Yuren, looking at Liu Yuren's miserable face, he asked, "Old Liu, what's wrong?" What's wrong? The Jin Army finally came over? ”

Saying that, Zhang Linghui still looked down on Liu Yuren a little, but the five thousand gold army, what was so terrible.

Liu Yuren trembled and said, "Jingzhou is lost, Wanyan Zongbi is from the direction of Jingzhou, you, my wife and children, all of whom have been pressed to the front of the battle." ”

"Impossible!" Zhang Linghui didn't understand how Wanyan Zongbi passed through Shimen Town and took Jingzhou directly, Liu Yuren explained to him, "The Jin army is too well prepared, they went to the top of the grass, and I also arranged five hundred soldiers on that trail just in case, but I didn't expect that even a messenger escaped." ”

After Yan Zongbi passed through the top of the hundred grasses, he took Jingzhou directly, the Jingzhou soldiers were all old and weak, and when they saw the Jin army attacking like a sandstorm, they surrendered without even doing symbolic resistance, and Wanyan Zongbi successfully captured Zhang Linghui's family members alive, and it was less than ten miles away from Shimen Town at this time.

Zhang Linghui and Liu Yuren looked at the family members who were tied up in front of the battle, they were both anxious and angry, afraid and afraid.

Wanyan Zongbi took the binoculars, looked at the expressions of Zhang Linghui and the others in the distance, and said with a smile, "Thanks to the strategy of the military advisor, otherwise this battle would have to cost me a lot of effort." ”

With the large spread of glass, the telescope has also become a battlefield weapon sought after by the generals of the Jin Kingdom.

Ha Mi Chi said to Wan Yan Zongbi, "This Linghui and both of them are old men of the winning army, but they have not fought in the past few years, and they have no will to fight. ”

Wanyan Zongbi was overjoyed, there are more than 10,000 people in this Shimen Town, if he really wants to fight, he is afraid that he will also lose a lot, if he can surrender the soldiers without a fight, it will naturally be better.

Wanyan Zongbi ordered the army to shout in unison, and the cavalry galloped back and forth, so that it was not majestic, and the surrendered army of Jingzhou pushed the siege equipment to keep wandering, and tossed for half a day before setting up camp.

Zhang Linghui, Liu Yuren and his subordinates will get together to discuss how to face the battle, this Shimen Town is a small pass, the accumulation of grain and grass is not much, all rely on the supply of Jingzhou, liquidated, there is only ten days of food in the army, which makes everyone suspicious.

When everyone was at a loss, a personal soldier walked in and whispered a few words to Zhang Linghui, Zhang Linghui's eyes lit up, and he said to everyone, "Everyone retreat and rest first, let's discuss it tomorrow, General Liu, please stay." ”

When everyone retreated, Liu Yuren asked, "Brother Zhang, do you have something to tell you?" ”

Zhang Linghui nodded and said, "The Jin army has a messenger, I'm afraid it is persuaded to surrender, I don't know what Brother Liu plans to do?" ”

Liu Yuren clenched his fists and hesitated for a long time, and said tentatively, "We are not Song people, but General Guo treats me with kindness, and it is difficult to achieve both filial piety and righteousness..."

Zhang Linghui stepped forward, grabbed Liu Yuren's hand and said, "It's because General Guo is kind to me that we have to think about General Guo." ”

Liu Yuren rolled his eyes, and said, "If General Guo invests gold at will, I will naturally have nothing to say." ”

Zhang Linghui nodded and said, "Okay, then let's meet the envoy of the Jin State first." ”

Under the leadership of the sergeant, Ha Mi Chi walked to the main hall, and when he saw the two generals sitting in the hall, he arched his hand and said, "The envoy of the Jin State, Ha Mi Chi, has seen two generals, and I think the two are Zhang and Liu." ”

Zhang Linghui patted the case and said, "You Jin Guo invaded my border for no reason, killed my people, plundered my family, and dared to come to deliver a letter?" Come on, drag it down and cut it down! ”

He smiled and said, "There are more than 10,000 sergeants of the Changsheng Army and two generals, and more than 200 members of the whole family are buried with me. Where is the axeman? Why don't you pull me away? ”

Zhang Linghui sang with a white face, Liu Yuren was naturally going to play a red face, only to see him get up and stop him, "Wait, I want you to die, I have more than 100,000 stones of grain in Shimen Town, more than 30,000 sergeants, and arrows can be used for three years, you just luckily attacked Jingzhou, how can you let me wait for the funeral?" ”

Ha Mi Chi looked at the sergeant on the side, and said with a smile, "I just walked all the way, and I heard at least seven sergeants' stomachs screaming, I'm afraid that this Shimen Town is almost out of military rations for ten days." ”

The sergeant on the side couldn't help but blush and took two steps back.

Ha Mi Chi took advantage of the victory and pursued, "The two generals are also rare heroes, after my Royal Highness took Jingzhou, the family members of the two generals have not committed any crimes, and the family's finances are also sealed to prevent others from violating them.

The two generals were not Song people, so why should they be martyred for the Song Kingdom? My Royal Highness said that as long as the two generals surrender, if they are willing to lead the troops, they will be the commanders, if they are officials, they can be in charge of the people of a state, if they are squires, they can have thousands of acres of fertile land and thousands of family wealth!

Two generals, don't let down the sincerity of your Highness. ”

Not to mention, this condition really moved the hearts of these two people, if they hadn't just unified their thoughts, the two would probably be ready to drop like this.

Liu Yuren coughed, glanced at Zhang Linghui, and then said, "The fourth prince treats me so kindly, I can't wait, but I don't know how to lift, but I have followed General Guo since Bohai, unless General Guo is willing to surrender, otherwise the two of us will never be able to surrender." ”

Ha Miqi's eyelids jumped slightly, and he said with a smile, "General Guo is a famous general in the world, a hero in the world, His Royal Highness has been admired for a long time, and often sighs that if General Guo helps him, the Song Kingdom is at his fingertips, why don't the two generals persuade General Guo to vote together?" ”

Zhang Linghui asked, "I don't know how Your Royal Highness treats General Guo?" ”

Ha Mi Qi didn't want to think about it and replied, "As long as General Guo dedicates Yanshan Mansion, the position left behind in Yanshan Mansion is General Guo's, how about it?" ”

The two glanced at each other and couldn't help but be overjoyed, this condition is indeed rich enough.

As mentioned above, Chang Shengjun was already a semi-warlord at this time, whether it was Guo Yaoshi or Zhang Linghui and others, they all acted for the interests of Chang Shengjun in the end, and when the benefits obtained by taking refuge in the Jin State were greater, it was not a difficult option to choose to take refuge in the Jin State.

Zhang and Liu no longer hesitated, and discussed the details with Ha Michi, that night the city gate of Shimen Town was opened, the Jin army entered the city in a big way, and Zhang Liu led three thousand soldiers to escape from the city and went to Yanshan Mansion.

- Yanshan Mansion

After Wang Anzhong left, the new successor was Cai Jing, Cai Jing's name is very similar to Cai Jing, but it has nothing to do with Cai Jing, after he came to Yanshan Mansion, the first thing he did was to appease Guo Yaoshi, hoping that Chang Shengjun could cooperate with him to run Yanshan Mansion, and Lu Yihao expressed his hope that he could tolerate Chang Shengjun's illegal actions, and wait for Chang Shengjun to be weakened in the future, so it can be regarded as settling Yanyan Mountain Mansion on the surface.

At this time, Yanshan Mansion had already known the news of the Jin army's southward movement, Cai Jing listened to Guo Yaoshi's advice, promised not to enter, let the city quickly settle down, and let Guo Yaoshi lead the main force of the Changsheng army to Sanhe to meet the enemy, and he sent people to Kaifeng to ask for reinforcements.

- Mikawas

Although the three rivers are called three rivers, but there is only one river that is really a big river, Sanhe County is Yanshan in the north, Yanshan Mansion in the west, Jizhou in the east, it is the necessary place for Wanyan Zongwang to attack Yanshan Mansion, at this time Wanyan Zongwang and Guo Yaoshi are facing each other across the river, and a big war is about to break out.

Guo Yaoshi also knew that it was a battle of life and death this time, so he didn't dare to hide his strength, and dispatched all the military forces that could be deployed, and got a total of 30,000 soldiers, which was already all the combat power he had accumulated over the years, and there were 15,000 selected volunteers to serve as auxiliary troops, as for those who were worse in combat power, Guo Yaoshi only dared to let them defend the city in a big city like Yanshan Mansion, and it was absolutely impossible to pull out the field battle.

Wanyan Zongwang rode a war horse, and led a team of elite horsemen to inspect the Guo Yaoshi army across the river, Wanyan Zongwang praised, "Although this Guo Yaoshi was defeated by our army last time, it can't be underestimated, this military village is very disciplined, and it is not easy to win." ”

Wanyan Yan's mother said a little unconvinced: "Why should the handsome man grow the ambition of others and destroy his own prestige? Pharmacist Guo is just relying on natural hazards, and if he fights on the ground, he will be able to win. ”

Wanyan Zongwang originally hoped to dispel everyone's arrogance, and when he saw that all the generals on the left and right had the will to fight, he smiled and said, "Then I will depend on your performance, let's go and see how the pontoon bridge is built." ”

A group of people came to a construction site, which is the width of the river, nearly a hundred fishing boats were collected here, every two fishing boats in a row, built a simple pontoon bridge, of course, this pontoon bridge is only half built, and when it is completely completed, it is the time when the Jin army marches.

After inspecting the construction of the pontoon bridge, Wan Yan Zongwang returned to the camp, and before he sat down, he received a battle report from Wan Yan Zongbi.

After reading it hastily, Wanyan Zongwang laughed at Wanyan Yan's mother and said, "The fourth brother has already surrendered Zhang Linghui and Liu Yuren, not only Jingzhou is owned by me, but also has an additional 10,000 troops, which is really the first achievement since going south." ”

Wanyan Yan's mother also smiled and said, "In this way, our army has a greater chance of winning, I heard that this Zhang and Liu are Guo Yaoshi's henchmen, since they are willing to surrender, I don't know if this Guo Yaoshi is willing to surrender my big gold?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang waved the battle report, "The fourth brother said in the war report that Zhang Linghui and the two are willing to respond to our army, calculate the time, and they should have entered Guo Yaoshi's army at this time, but we can't just wait, we still have to fight, only if we are afraid of them, they will know who to surrender." ”

- The camp of the victorious army

Guo Yaoshi looked at the bloodied Second General Zhang Liu, who was happy and angry, afraid and afraid.

When he heard that Shimen Town was bypassed and Jingzhou was attacked, he couldn't help patting his thigh and said, "The Jin people really had a premeditated plan for my Great Song Dynasty, and that road is not much known to the locals, and they will actually know, although you are prepared, you will not lose." ”

The defeated army entered the camp, which hurt the morale the most, Guo Yaoshi thought for a while and said, "The Jin army has almost built a pontoon bridge recently, and I don't see that it will be attacked soon. ”

Zhang Linghui immediately surrendered his hand to Zhandao, "The last general is willing to be a pioneer, and he will be ashamed!" ”

Liu Yuren also arched his hand and said, "I am willing to go with me." ”

Guo Yaoshi did not doubt him, and seeing that the two still had the will to fight, he praised him again and again, so he sent these two generals to lead 5,000 elites plus 3,000 personal soldiers brought by him, a total of 8,000 men and horses as the vanguard to meet the enemy, and 2,000 of these 5,000 elites were cavalry, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

Guo Yaoshi's son Guo Anguo and the others left, and said to Guo Yaoshi, "Father, the family members of General Zhang and Liu have all fallen into the hands of Jin Guo, plus the army has fallen, but the two of them have returned safely, and there are many doubts, so they have to guard against it." ”

Guo Yaoshi was also a little hesitant when he heard this, and said, "Since this is the case, then you will lead an army of 10,000 horses to line up behind Zhang and Liu, if the two of them fight to the death, needless to say, if they are defeated, you should stop them!" ”

Guo Anguo was still puzzled and asked, "Father, since these two people are suspicious, why do you still use them?" ”

Guo Yaoshi stroked his beard helplessly and said, "This Chang Shengjun is not Guo Jiajun, the reason why Chang Shengjun has been able to persist from the beginning of the resentful army to the present is to help each other, even if I am suspicious of these two people, I can't do anything without evidence, but I have to show great trust in them."

My son, as long as Chang Shengjun is still there, my Guo family will not fall, whether it is in Song, Liao or Jin. ”

This is the first time that Guo Yaoshi has revealed his heart in front of Guo Anguo, he actually doesn't care who wins and who loses before Song Jin, what he cares about is Chang Shengjun or whose Guo family can get more benefits under his command.

War drums beating, banners hunting, groups of Jin troops lined up along the river under the command of the generals, a fishing boat turned sailor wandered back and forth in the river, thousands of archers were checking their bows and arrows, they were the fire cover of the Jin army ashore.

With Wanyan Zongwang's order, hundreds of ships rushed to the west bank together, and a soldier with a shield also walked onto the pontoon bridge.

Opposite them, there was a military formation of nearly 10,000 people, and Zhang Linghui and Liu Yuren stood on the high platform created and watched the entire battle situation.

"The second prince is not simple, the cavalry on the opposite side is gone, I'm afraid it's another way to find a ferry to cross the river, and when our army is entangled with these feints, once the Jin cavalry rushes over, it will be the end of our army." Liu Yuren looked at the military array on the opposite side and immediately thought of danger.

"Compared with the Jin army, the cavalry of our army is really too far behind, even if we really fight this battle with our lives, I am afraid it will be more than lucky." Zhang Linghui said approvingly, then looked back at the back and said, "Guo Anguo, that kid is watching behind us, he is bringing elite soldiers under General Guo, we still have to fight first, lure that kid to march, and then defeat him." ”

The two agreed, and began to command the army to meet the enemy, first the archers fired at each other, but across the river, wandering on one side and covered by military formations, they did not take advantage of anything.

Then the ship docked first, and the Jin army 351 gang howled and rushed towards the military formation, only to see that these Jin soldiers formed a small formation, covered by a big shield, and shot the enemy with bows and arrows, these are real Jurchens, wearing thick armor, obviously only a few hundred people, but the Zhang Linghui front army that killed them retreated again and again.

Then the Jin soldiers who ran over from the pontoon bridge also joined the battle, Wan Yan Zongwang looked at the opposite side, and smiled at Wan Yan Yan's mother, "The Song army is afraid of war, Guo Yaoshi claims to dare to fight, but the sergeants under his command are all afraid, it can be seen that the peaceful days in the past few years have made them soften their bones." ”

Wanyan Yan's mother remembered her battle of Pingzhou, although Zhang Jue's strategy did work, but the time when she put down her sword and gun did consume a lot of his fighting spirit with the Jin army.

Wanyan Yan's mother suddenly understood why a Buddhist prince like Wanyan Zongwang would also support a southern invasion that could kill and injure millions of people.

The wealth of the Jin State is not as good as that of the Song State, in fact, to be precise, even the former Liao State is not comparable, if you don't take advantage of the fact that the elite soldiers and strong generals are now, after a few decades, the soldiers of the Jin State are also the same as the Song State, and they are unwilling to fight, so will the destruction of the Jin State be far away.

In the military formation, once retreating, it is easy to be defeated, Zhang Linghui watched the front army being killed by hundreds of people, and only felt a chill coming out of his backbone.

I saw those Jin soldiers, many of them were injured for injuries, and even life for life, but these Jin soldiers were more experienced, most of them were small injuries for big injuries, big injuries for full lives, archers were even more cunning, Zhang Linghui saw at least more than 30 Song soldiers were shot in the eye by an arrow and died, this is the best hunter's archery skills.

At least Zhang Linghui himself does not have such archery skills.

Although he has fought with the Jin Army many times, the Jin Army in front of him at this time will be stronger in the past.

This is of course, after Yan Zongwang took charge, but the Jin army practiced well, he was taught by Lu Zhishen when he was a child, not only learned Buddhism, but also learned the method of military training, although Lu Zhishen did not teach with his heart, but he also confided a lot of things when he drank too much on weekdays, and the Jin army at this time was three points stronger than in history.

Zhang Linghui couldn't hold it anymore, he hurriedly sent someone to let Liu Yuren lead the army forward, and then sent someone to ask Guo Anguo to send troops.

Not to mention that Liu Yuren sent an army to stop the defeat, let's just say that Guo Anguo, seeing from a distance that the Jin army killed Zhang Linghui and retreating, he couldn't help but say angrily, "The Jin army is only a few hundred, and Zhang Linghui has 10,000 people, why can't he stop it?" I see it's a deception! ”

At this time, a herald came to ask for help, Guo Anguo scolded, "The enemy army is only a thousand people ashore at this time, what can't be stopped, return the order to let Zhang Linghui fight to the death!" ”

The herald who came to ask for help looked dead, pointed to the battlefield and defended, "Major General, the Jin army is really brave, our army can't resist it at all, please send troops." ”

"This general will use troops, and he has his own rules, and when he waits for the need to send troops, I will send troops!"

Guo Anguo didn't believe in Zhang Linghui in the first place, and waited to see Zhang Linghui's defeat, and then turn the tide by himself, so as to stabilize his position in the victorious army.

In just one stick of incense, Zhang Linghui's army has suffered more than 1,000 casualties, and such rapid casualties made Zhang Linghui's troops unable to support it anymore, and deserters began to appear.

Deserters are like pimples, either they don't come out, and once they come out, they don't stop if you want to.

The 8,000 men and horses of the second general Zhang and Liu were originally only 3,000 from the headquarters, and the others were sent by other state capitals, so they might be willing to fight to the death for their own generals, but if it was for Zhang and Liu, they would have been worthy of them after shedding so much blood.

Zhang Linghui actually still has the ability to fight back, that is, the two thousand cavalry, plus his own headquarters, can make up a small three thousand cavalry, but.... He didn't want to win.

When the Jin soldiers went ashore with more than 3,000 people, the number of sergeants began to appear and retreated, which made Zhang Linghui never expect that he didn't even need to cheat and defeat, this was really defeated.

Zhang Linghui hurriedly got off the high platform, rode on a war horse, and ran to Guo Anguo's army under the escort of his own soldiers, he is really ruthless to Guo Anguo now, if Guo Anguo sends an army to participate in the war, how can he hold on to it, so that he can cheat and defeat, although they are all defeats, but the real defeat at this time will only make Wanyan Zongwang look down on him, and the defeat can make him remember a credit.

He is now holding back to crush Guo Anguo's military formation, and while he is running towards Guo Anguo's army, he makes his own soldiers shout, "Defeated, defeated, run, ten of us can't beat one of them." ”

"The Jurchen is less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible, brothers, run for your life!"

Guo Anguo saw Zhang Linghui and Liu Yuren rushing towards him with the sergeants, and hurriedly shouted, "Hurry up and release the arrow!" Shoot them and don't let them rush into disarray! ”

Several generals of the Changsheng Army looked at each other, but they did not follow the order, the Changsheng Army is not General Guo, Guo Anguo is not Guo Yaoshi, there are many marriages between the Changsheng Army in order to unite, and there may be some brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and godson in this defeated army.

Guo Anguo saw that no one followed his instructions to shoot arrows, and was about to get angry, when he saw a puff of smoke and dust coming out in the distance.

Guo Anguo hurriedly took out his clairvoyance and looked over there, only to see a cavalry coming out of the forest, there were not many cavalrymen, but there were more than 2,000 of them, but the murderous aura that soared into the sky meant that they were the strongest elite.

There was no cavalry in Guo Anguo's army, and the cavalry was in the hands of Guo Yaoshi and Zhang Linghui of the former army.

Guo Anguo saw that Zhang Linghui's defeated army had begun to enter the battle, and the army was in a mess, and then saw that the cavalry of the Jin army over there was about to be killed, and knew that he could not fight again, so he sighed and ordered the withdrawal of the army.

This defeat was not over until Pharmacist Guo personally led the troops to kill the retreating Jin army, and the return army was counted, and nearly 10,000 people were lost.

"Marshal, it's really not that the last general is unwilling to fight to the death, those Jin soldiers don't want to die, and there is no cavalry on the opposite side, the last general guessed that the Jin army has found a path, these Jin troops are familiar with the geographical advantages of my Yanzhou, and they don't want to be a local people." Liu Yuren also knew that his battle was ugly, so he hurriedly defended himself.

"Father, Zhang and Liu.." Guo Anguo saw that Liu Yuren still dared to defend himself, so he wanted to speak out and criticize him.

"Okay" Guo Yaoshi waved his hand, stopped Guo Anguo, and said to the left and right, "The defeat of this battle is not the fault of others, it is all my sin, I thought that our army was the opponent of the Jin army after recuperation, but I didn't expect that the Jin army was not only not corrupted by comfort, but our army's combat strength declined because of new recruits." ”

Guo Yaoshi first took all the blame for the defeat on his body, and then said, "Our army has suffered heavy casualties, and it is no longer possible to fight, when we go back to Yanshan Mansion to defend the city, and wait for the official family to send reinforcements, we should cooperate with the outside, and we should have a chance to win." ”

When everyone heard it, they felt good, everyone in this field battle was not the opponent of the Jin Army, and there was no problem in defending the city.

The Jin army of 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and horses, to cross the river all took a few days, which allowed Guo Yaoshi to slowly retreat, when he returned to Yanshan Mansion, Cai Jing learned that the loss of nearly 10,000 soldiers, knew that Guo Yaoshi had done his best, not only did not blame, but persuaded him with good words, and asked other Wenchen to collect grain and grass together, ready to defend to the death.

On the third day of Guo Yaoshi's entry into Yanshan Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang was killed, not only Wanyan Zongwang arrived, but Wanyan Zongbi on the back road also joined forces with Wanyan Zongwang, and the army of sixty or seventy thousand surrounded Yanshan Mansion was impassable, tens of thousands of war horses galloped back and forth, and the defenders in the city were all pale in disguise.

These locals of Yanshan Mansion know the meaning of cavalry too well, there are so many cavalry here, even if they can't escape, they can only defend one road.

Many of the victorious generals in the city began to look for a way out in private, most of them were originally from proletarian and poor backgrounds, and they finally got the wealth they have today, and they are absolutely unwilling to be caught just now.

- Jin Army Battalion

"Then Zhang Linghui and the others can really persuade Pharmacist Guo to come down?" Wanyan Zongwang looked at Ha Mi Chi with some incredulity, this young man who was said to be a heavenly man by Wanyan Zongbi.

Ha Mi Chi arched his hand and said, "I know that the marshal has always wanted to recruit Guo Yaoshi but can't, in fact, Guo Yaoshi and others are not loyal to the Song, they are loyal to the group of Chang Shengjun, it is themselves."

These people are loyal and good on the surface, but in fact they are a group of selfish people, as long as the commander can give them enough benefits, they will inevitably surrender. ”

Wanyan Zongwang still asked a little uneasy, "Now there are not only Guo Yaoshi and others in the city, but also the officials sent by the Song State officials, can Guo Yaoshi convince them?" ”

Ha Mi smiled confidently, "Don't worry, don't worry, Pharmacist Guo doesn't need to convince them, those people have no soldiers in their hands, only pens, how can they move that Pharmacist Guo?" ”

After Yan Zongwang wrote a letter, he took out the reward document with his name vacated and handed it to Ha Michi as a token to get the letter from Pharmacist Guo.

Ha Mi Chi disguised himself as a woodcutter, found the city wall guarded by Zhang Linghui and others, sent a signal, and infiltrated the city.

This night, Guo Yaoshi was looking at the sand table in the room, thinking about how to defend the city, and his personal guards knocked on the door lightly and said, "Marshal, General Zhang Linghui and General Liu Yuren have come with a person to ask for a meeting." ”

Pharmacist Guo's eyes flashed, and he ordered for a while, and then asked people to lead Zhang Linghui and others in.

The meeting place was the lobby of Pharmacist Guo, Pharmacist Guo watched coldly as Zhang Linghui and Liu Yuren came in with one person, Zhang Linghui was about to step forward to say hello, and Pharmacist Guo slammed the table with a loud bang.

"What a guts! You two dare to fornicate with Jinren! Guo Yaoshi pointed at Zhang Linghui and the others and shouted, "You still dare to bring this golden man to me, come on!" Drag these three down and cut them down for me! ”

A few samurai flashed left and right, and Ha Mi looked left and right, and laughed.

Pharmacist Guo asked, "Why are you laughing when you are at the end of your day?" ”

Ha Mi was afraid that Pharmacist Guo would not pick up, and if he did, it meant that Pharmacist Guo didn't want to kill him at all.

Ha Mi Chi stopped laughing and said, "I thought that the general was a hero in the world, so I asked for a great wealth to the general.

Well, needless to say, where is the killing of the head? Take me there. ”

As he spoke, Ha Mi Chi pulled the warrior on the side and was about to go out, but the warrior didn't know what to do all of a sudden, and couldn't help but look at Guo Yaoshi.

Liu Yuren stepped forward and said to Guo Yaoshi, "Marshal, the two armies are fighting, don't kill the envoys, why don't you listen to it first?" ”

Pharmacist Guo frowned and said, "I, Pharmacist Guo, am loyal to the official family, and the official family also takes good care of my Changsheng army, even if you say more, it is useless!" ”

Ha Mi Chi laughed secretly in his heart, he didn't say anything, this Guo Yaoshi was in a hurry to show loyalty to the official family of the Song State, isn't there no three hundred taels of silver here?

Ha Mi Chi let go of the warrior and looked left and right, Guo Yaoshi waved his hand and let the warrior go down first.

Ha Mi Chi said while pacing, "The land of Yanzhou was originally the old land of the Liao State, and the general had no choice but to surrender to the Song Dynasty in the past, and what he did was only to ensure the peace of the party, and also to seek vitality for the victorious army."

What has the general gained since he surrendered to the Song Dynasty? Did the monarchs of the Song Kingdom really trust the generals?

Although I am in the Jin Kingdom, I have also heard about Zhang Jue, and now the second prince submitted a letter of state, asking the Song State to hand over the general, what does the general think? ”

This sentence suddenly made Guo Yaoshi shiver, and the attitude of Song Guojunchen towards Zhang Jue changed so quickly that Guo Yaoshi shuddered when he recalled it.

Ha Mi Chi continued, "The general now has tens of thousands of soldiers, all of whom are brave and brave soldiers, in the past, the Taizu of the Song Kingdom once said that the side of the couch would not allow others to snore, and now it is my Jin State to press the border, and the Song State is a general, such as my Jin State follows the example of the Khitan, and the Song State Alliance for a hundred years, hehe, I don't know if the general can see the scene ten years later."

I heard that Tong Guan was training soldiers in Hebei and other places, and I didn't know who he was against. ”

Guo Yaoshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva when he listened, of course he knew who Tong Guan was targeting, and he even sent a large amount of money to Tong Guan's mansion in order to appease Tong Guan's heart, and even saw that Tong Guan claimed to be his grandson.

Ha Miqi said again: "The Song Dynasty court is also used against the general, is it the general who says it in this Yanshan Mansion?"

The general worked hard for the Song State, for the sake of the brothers under his command to live better, I heard that many of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army have purchased properties around Yanshan Mansion, does the general really think that he can stop my Jin Kingdom?

Those inheritances were accumulated by the general's brothers and wanted to be passed on to future generations, so didn't the general think about them?

General, please look at this! ”

Ha Mi Chi took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Liu Yuren, who opened it in public, shook it to show that the letter had no mechanism, and then handed it to Pharmacist Guo.

Guo Yaoshi opened it, and his eyes widened suddenly, he looked at Ha Miqi and asked, "You second prince can really let me stay for Yanshan Mansion?" ”

Ha Mi laughed and said, "The system of our Jin State is different from that of the Song State, there is no transfer to make a mess, staying behind is a military and political grasp, and the general is staying behind, I believe that the winning army will be at ease."

The second prince also stamped more than a dozen letters of appointment, all of which were blank, and as long as the general wrote them, they would take effect.

I can assure the general that from today onwards, on the ground of this Yanshan Mansion, the general will never be angry with anyone again. ”

Although Guo Yaoshi knew in his heart that half of these words were true, he really had no confidence in Song Guo.

Guo Yaoshi has seen the army commanded by Tong Guan, when Tong Guan attacked Liao, he was on the side, the sergeants of the Song State can not be said to be poorly equipped, but the sergeant's degree of war resistance and war literacy are too poor.

In fact, you can't blame the sergeants of the Song Army, with the full efforts of Tong Guan, Gao Yu and others, the forbidden army is full of people who are actually carpenters, stonemasons, and hawkers with the signboard of the forbidden army.

As long as the Changsheng army is defeated, then it is impossible for the Song army to recover Yanshan Mansion, this is Guo Yaoshi's military judgment on this battle, since this is the case, he naturally has to consider the interests of the Changsheng army when the Jin State ruled Yanshan Mansion.

"Dashuai, it's not our disloyalty, it's really the unkindness and injustice of the Song court, you don't know, Dashuai, how many of those civil officials have been bullied below, we have some fields, they still come to collect taxes every day, and the high tax is just scared to death!" Zhang Linghui also persuaded, "Even if the marshal doesn't think about himself, he should also think about the young general, if the marshal loses the winning army, then the Song court will not only not reuse the marshal, but a small official can also send the marshal to the Jin State to repeat Zhang Jue's old things!"

The Song State didn't treat us as its own people at all, otherwise why didn't Tong Guan's Hebei Fourth Army even have a rescue letter now? ”

In fact, at this time, Zhao Ji of the Song State did not get the war report of the invasion of the Jin State, it was not that Cai Jing and others did not send it, but they were suppressed by Li Bangyan and others, and they also hoped to use the hands of the Jin Army to suppress the Chang Shengjun, after all, no matter how you think about it, the Chang Sheng Army should be able to hold out for a month with Yanshan Mansion.

Guo Yaoshi thought of his son and sighed, since the start of the war, he has been defeated again and again, the army of the Song State can only fight the Western Army, but in the past performance, the Western Army is still capable of fighting in the northwest mountains, but it can't resist the charge of the cavalry when it comes to Yanyun.

Guo Yaoshi said to Zhang Linghui and others, "In the past, I had no choice but to turn my back on Liao and vote for the Song Dynasty, and I was ridiculed by the world. ”

Zhang Linghui said, "The marshal is bad, Qin Qiong was a Sui general in the past, then he voted for Wagang, then voted for Wang Shichong, and finally voted for Li Tang. ”

Guo Yaoshi said again, "Then Cai Jing is still kind to me, if he is unwilling to surrender, what should I do?" ”

Ha Mi Chi understood that although Guo Yaoshi was willing to reduce the gold, he also wanted to leave a good relationship with Song Guo.

Ha Mi Chi thought about it and felt that taking Yanshan Mansion at this time was the most important thing, as for those Song officials, hehe, it was just an early death and a late death.

Ha Mi Qi immediately said, "General, don't be suspicious, if the city is broken, Cai Jing and others will be martyred, but today, the general can send these people back to the Song Kingdom, which is a benevolent and righteous act, and it also saves their lives." ”

Seeing that the Jin people were willing to let Cai Jing go, Guo Yaoshi no longer hesitated, and sent sergeants to besiege Cai Jing and others that night, and when Cai Jing found out, he could no longer command a single soldier in the entire Yanshan Mansion.

When Cai Jing learned from the guard's mouth that Guo Yaoshi was ready to reduce the gold, his heart was like ashes, when he saw Guo Yaoshi who had already put on the armor of the Jin Kingdom, he was sad from the heart, crying and scolding Guo Yaoshi, the Han family had thought about Yanshan Mansion for a hundred years was actually occupied by foreign races again in his hands, and after a hundred years, the history is like a knife, and his Cai Jing's evaluation is probably not as good as Cai Jingjing.

Guo Yaoshi's face was flushed when he was scolded, and he said sarcastically to Cai Jing, "If I don't invest in gold today, he will be sent to the country of gold by you tomorrow." ”

Cai Jing knew that what he said was Zhang Jue's matter, so he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "One peck and one drink, is it a certainty?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Yanshan Mansion with the city gate wide open, and let out a long breath of turbidity, this Nanjing City of the Liao State was finally taken back by the Jin State.

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Guo Yaoshi, who was wearing armor and holding a seal letter in his hand, and immediately turned over and dismounted, laughing and greeting him.

Wanyan Zongwang took the seal letter, threw it aside and said, "I have to stay behind Guo to win Yanshan Mansion!" Hurry up, come, and take me to visit this Yanshan Mansion. After speaking, he looked at the prisoner cart lined up on the side, and on the prisoner cart was Cai Jing and other Song officials who were unwilling to surrender, and waved his hand, "Since these people are pleading for the general, send them back to the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, and bring me a letter casually, I want to ask the Emperor of the Song Kingdom, he has repeatedly bullied me with Dajin, did you ever think that there will be today?" ”

Guo Yaoshi's heart was settled, and he said yes again and again, got up and entered the city with Wanyan Zongwang.

After the group inspected Yanshan Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang sighed, "It is worthy of Nanjing, the former Liao Kingdom, which is ten times more prosperous than Pingzhou." ”

Pharmacist Guo pointed to the south and said, "Your Highness has never been to Kaifeng, and Kaifeng is a hundred times more prosperous than Yanshan Mansion." ”

Wanyan Zongwang didn't want to be speechless, and said, "There is such a place in the Song country? Why is it not the enemy of our country? ”

Guo Yaoshi thought for a while and said, "It's nothing else, it's just that civil officials love money, and military generals are afraid of death." ”

Wanyan Zongwang clapped his hands and said, "This is extremely true." ”

At this time, Wanyan Zongbi walked over, he glanced at Guo Yaoshi, and said to Wanyan Zongwang, "Dashuai, all parts of Yanshan Mansion have surrendered, but Luxian has cut off our envoy's ears and nose and come back. ”

Wanyan Zongwang's face darkened, he pressed the Buddha beads in his palm, and asked coldly, "Guo Liushou, who is this Lu County guard?" I don't listen to your orders? ”

Guo Yaoshi smiled bitterly and said, "The name of this Lu County defender is Lu Deng, an official sent by the Song State, and he is a person from Daizhou, although he was born as a Jinshi, but he is skilled in bowing and horses, but he is not allowed to be reused, and he is already forty, and he is only the head of a county. ”

Wanyan Zongbi was puzzled and asked, "It sounds like this person can be described as an all-round talent in civil and military affairs, why can't he be reused?" ”

Guo Yaoshi explained, "The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over martial arts, and if a scribe was good at arching horses, he would be excluded. In the past, there was a Jinshi named Li Guangfu who was good at swordsmanship, but it was thought that if the Song Emperor Song Zhenzong used it as a reward, the people knew that the sword was good, and he would not use it, so it is not surprising that he could not be reused today. ”

Wanyan Zongwang shook his head and sighed, "You have to be a good minister and a brave general, the defeat of the Song State is your own sin, fourth brother, you lead an army of 3,000 to go, be sure to capture Lu Deng alive, this person is the talent that my Dajin lacks." ”

Wanyan Zongbi immediately received the order, ordered three thousand sergeants, and took Ha Mi Chi to Lu County.

Lu County is also the Tongzhou District of the later generations, in the later generations, Yanshan Mansion is Beijing to Tongxian County can be reached by taking the highway for 40 minutes, which can be said to be extremely close to Yanshan Mansion.

As early as when Lu Deng learned that the Jin army was heading south, he guessed that there would be war in Luxian, so he sent the people into the city to clear the walls and fields, and at the same time strengthened the training of the sergeants under his command.

But Lu Deng thought that the war was just the harassment of Lu County by the Jin army when they were besieging Yanshan Mansion, and he never thought that Yanshan Mansion would go down without a fight.

After Lu Deng learned that Guo Yaoshi had reduced his gold, he knew that it was impossible for Lu County to hold it, and he was just bent on dying in order to do his best for the king's business.

After Lu Deng arrived in Lu County, he did many good deeds, persuaded farmers to support the people, and was lenient and strict with the sergeants, so the two commanders in the city were willing to listen to his orders.

At this time, Lu Deng's whole body was draped, and he kept running around the head of Lu County, preparing to defend the city.

Just as he was preparing, he saw a horse galloping over, only to see that the horse was covered in blood, and there were two feather arrows stuck in his back, Lu Deng hurriedly said, "Help me over!" He stepped forward himself.

Tanma saw Lu Deng, and said in a weak tone, "I've seen Master Xianggong, I've found out clearly, the Jin army of 3,000 is rushing from Yanshan Mansion, led by the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi, among the 3,000 soldiers and horses, there are 1,000 cavalry, and the remaining 2,000 are foot soldiers." ”

Lu Deng asked, "Why are you alone?" What about the other four? ”

The tanma shook his head tremblingly and said, "The thief army is elite, no..." Before the words were finished, he let out a breath, Lu Deng sighed, stroked this person's eyes, and said to the left and right, "The elite cavalry of the Jin army, the art of war cloud ten will surround it, and five will attack it, and the enemy will not be three thousand, we will defend the city, if we kill the fourth prince of Jin, we will definitely be able to greatly frustrate the spirit of the Jin country!" So as to avenge the brothers! ”

Everyone was afraid, Lu Deng looked at it, and felt that if this continued, Luxian would be defeated by a battle, so he asked the two commanders to prepare for the war, and at the same time, he ordered the family to drape himself all over his body to show that he would not escape.

This Daizhou is Yanmen Pass, this place is on the side, Lu Deng also learned a martial arts there, and when the drape is completed, Wanyan Zongbi's army has also been killed, Wanyan Zongbi saw that Lu County was heavily guarded, and shouted with an axe, "Where is Lu Deng?" ”

Lu Deng poked his head out and saw that a golden general was wearing a red brocade embroidered robe, covered with gold and inlaid with scales; Sitting on a four-hoofed snow and fire dragon horse, holding a crested gorse axe in his hand, guessing that it was a vulture, he shouted, "My Song Kingdom and your Jin Kingdom have an alliance, why did the fourth prince violate my border for no reason?" ”

Wanyan Zongbi laughed and said, "I also want to be good with you Song Guomeng, but your official family has accepted and rebelled, you have done the first year of junior high school, why can't we do fifteen?" You see that you are also a hero, but you live here, why don't you surrender my gold? I guarantee you as the lord of a state! ”

Lu Deng said hesitantly, "Your Highness, I want to agree, but I have a gentleman with a stinky and hard temper, and if he doesn't agree, I can't do it." ”

Wanyan Zongbi really wanted to recruit Lu Deng, so he said angrily, "The husband should be decisive in doing things, how can he be influenced by others, who is your husband, call me to talk to him, and he will be able to explain it." ”

Ha Mi Chi on the side smiled bitterly and shook his head, where could he not hear that Lu Deng was ridiculing the vultures after being in the Song Kingdom for a long time.

Lu Deng raised the spear in his hand and said, "It's this Mr. Iron Mouth, you might as well get close to him first and see if you can get through him?" ”

The entire city wall suddenly burst into laughter, and the angry Wushu turned black, pointing at Lu Deng and scolding, "Okay, you Song Man, come here!" Besiege! ”

Lu Deng wanted this effect, the vulture came from afar, the siege equipment was not brought, just some ladders with the army, the Jin army listened to the order to step forward, first the cavalry fired, only to see hundreds of arrows flying up the city, Lu Deng had already prepared, so that the sergeant raised the shield, only heard the sound of the beet, but no one was injured.

"Come and don't be rude! Archery! Lu Deng shouted loudly, and hundreds of arrows flew out of the city wall, Lu Deng looked down on the edge of the female wall, only to see the arrows falling on the Jin army, clanging, and the people who were shot dead on the spot were probably less than ten people, and he couldn't help but gasp.

"The Jin Kingdom has the Khitan legacy, and it is difficult to control it!" Lu Deng couldn't help but feel a dull pain at the root of his teeth.

Logically speaking, the countries of the grassland civilization have always been weak in smelting, but this is the opposite for the Liao country.

Khitan means iron, the reason why iron is the people, is precisely because the Khitan is different from other grassland peoples, he is extremely good at smelting the nation, the Khitan as early as the Turkic period is responsible for building the blade, and later got the Tang Dynasty craftsman inheritance, so the smelting technology is very high, such iron armor for the inheritance of the Liao State of Jin, it does not take much effort.

In contrast to it, the smelting technology of the Song Kingdom, although the smelting technology of the Song Kingdom is also very high, it can even be said to be unprecedentedly high, but the Song State has been peaceful for a long time, and good steel has been sold to the market.

"Golden juice ready!" Lu Deng saw that he couldn't stop it with a bow and arrow, so he gave another order.

Gold juice is an extremely vicious means of defense, in fact, to be precise, this is a traditional Chinese medicine, using the manure of a child, plus spring water stirring and filtration, and then sealed and put into the ground for more than ten years before it can be used, but it is not necessary to pay attention to it when it is used to defend the city, just boil it with fecal water, this thing is not a joke to pour on people from top to bottom, in this Northern Song Dynasty when there is a shortage of medical treatment, next to it is a death, and if it touches it, it is useless.

The cloud ladder was erected, and the city wall of Lu County was not less than four meters high, after all, this was just a county seat, and Lu Deng didn't dare to wait for the Jin army to climb halfway, and immediately shouted, "Fall!" ”

A golden soldier with a mace in his hand was climbing up quickly, when he suddenly felt a shadow enveloping him, and when he looked up, he saw a large urn falling down.

"No!" This golden soldier wanted to resist with a mace, but this golden juice was pervasive, unless there was a big shield, where could it be blocked, and he was suddenly poured with a heartfelt familiarity, and fell down with a scream.

Then there are hundreds of extremely long spears, three or four as a group, constantly piercing out of the city wall, these spears are nearly two zhang long, the Jin army can only be passively beaten, but the pikemen are naturally restrained by the archers, the Jin army is good at archery sergeants have found opportunities to shoot arrows, but the two sides are fighting back and forth.

Lu Deng held a spear in his hand, shouting back and forth, the defenders saw that Lu Deng was on the side, but they fought to the death, and after a stick of incense, the casualties of the Jin soldiers had exceeded 100.

Wanyan Zongbi praised Ha Mi Chi on the side under the city, "Since I went south, I have never seen such a place of death, this person is really a hero!" ”

Yes, until now, the Jin army has gone south, and there are only a handful of battles with hundreds of casualties in one battle, and even after Yan Zongbi fought Jingzhou, only more than 30 people died.

Ha Mi said, "Your Highness, don't underestimate the Song Kingdom, the Song Kingdom is not unpopular, but it must not be used!" ”

The battle continued, the two incense sticks passed, there were more than three adults in the city of Luxian City, and the number of dead and wounded of the Jin army also exceeded two hundred, which was almost one-tenth of the Jin army, and Wanyan Zongbi saw that the counterattack on the head of the city was also weakened, turned over and dismounted and shouted, "The tower army and me are up!" ”

In Wanyan Zongbi's army, there is a unit full of heavy armor, these sergeants are the best of the best, the number is not much, so far there are only a thousand people, wearing heavy armor connected with square iron armor, and there are still two layers on the chest, etc., such heavy armor ordinary people wear and walk hard, but these people can go to battle first, because it is a layer of iron armor, it looks like a tower, so it is called Tiefutu, also known as the Iron Tower Army, because Futu is actually the meaning of the tower.

The iron tower army of five hundred people was assembled, and rushed to Lu County under the leadership of Wanyan Zongbi, Lu Deng saw Wanyan Zongbi leading the team, and immediately called a crossbowman to shoot at Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongbi held a big shield, and the arrows were shot on the shield, Lu Deng gritted his teeth and clenched the spear, ready to kill Yan Zongbi desperately.

Tiefutu began to ascend the city, a sergeant held a spear and stabbed, the sergeant of the Iron Tower Army did not hide, just lowered his head and let the spear stab his chest, only heard the sound of the bell, the sergeant's mouth was numb, Jin Bing snorted, a force, jumped on the city wall, and with a wave of the battle axe in his hand, the two spears that pierced him were cut off.

Seeing such a terrifying combat power of the Iron Tower Army, Lu Deng couldn't help but gasp.

Lu County can't hold it.

"Put the net!" Lu Deng used his killer weapon, only to see a huge net fly out from behind the city wall, this huge net was carried by crossbow arrows, flew more than ten meters away, and then fell, covering the Jin army at once, and the Jin army's offensive was stagnant.

Lu Deng pointed to Yan Zongbi and shouted, "Let it go again!" ”

Another giant net flew up, but this net was obviously heavier than just now, and the accuracy was much higher, and it flew away in the direction of Wan Yan Zongbi, Wan Yan Zongbi was still struggling in the net, and saw that there was another net, and the secret road was not good, so he dropped the giant axe and took out the dagger from his arms, which was faintly about a floating dragon looming on this dagger, extremely extraordinary, just a stroke, the net was separated, and the second net also fell down at this time, Wan Yan Zongbi held it with one hand, and then cut it, and he rushed out, he just found a shield to raise, Dozens of arrows smashed into him.

"What a Nanban, but he is full of wisdom!" Wanyan Zongbi took the lead and ran up the city wall, and the two Song soldiers rushed towards him, he grabbed the spears of the two Song soldiers with one hand, and threw them under the city with a drag.

"The thief will look at the gun!" Lu Deng took a breath, shouted, and stepped forward with a gun, and Yan Zongbi picked up a knife on the ground and fought with Lu Deng.

With only three or five moves, Lu Deng secretly said that it was not good, he didn't expect that Yan Zongbi's noble status was so good at fighting, but fortunately, there were sergeants on the side to help, which supported it.

was fighting, and there was a cheer on the side, and Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "Southern barbarian, you are only a thousand people, where can you resist my attack from several sides, don't surrender quickly!" ”

Lu Deng was in a hurry, desperately stabbed a shot, took the time to look back, and saw that sure enough, it was the Jin army that had laid down a section of the city wall and was entering the city quickly.

Lu Deng sighed: "It's time for me to be loyal!" "No longer in love with the war, with a few personal guards to kill back to the house.

The house is already a mess, the family and maids are running everywhere, Lu Deng's wife is holding her only son in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other hand Standing at the door, seeing Lu Deng, she cried, "The princess is loyal, and the concubine should be the best." ”

Lu Deng said to the housekeeper and nurse on the side, "My wife and I are both subject to Song En, we should repay the country with death, I have no other wish, only this child is still young, I hope you two can raise us as adults, continue the Lu family's incense, and be the great benefactor in my Lu family!" Then he bowed to the butler and the nurse.

The housekeeper wiped his tears and said, "Don't worry, master, I will raise my son to grow up!" ”

Lu Deng asked the two to go quickly, and he took his wife back to the hall, Lu Deng looked at his wife's face, stroked it gently, suddenly laughed, asked him to sit down, and went to get the wine himself and said, "Come on!" Today, I slashed several thieves for my husband, and I should be a big white! ”

Mrs. Lu also smiled and said, "Husband drink slowly, and watch the concubine sing and dance!" ”

Wanyan Zongbi came to the front of the Lu Mansion with the sergeant, and when he saw the door of the mansion open, he swaggered in, faintly heard the singing, and couldn't help but wonder, "Why is there a sound of music?" ”

Ha Mi sighed: "In the past, the overlord of Chu sang and danced with Yu Ji before he died, and it should be the same today." ”

Wanyan Zongbi hurriedly said, "Lu Deng is a great talent, how can he die like this?" Hurriedly followed the singing to find a room, the singing suddenly stopped, he hurriedly kicked away, and saw a person glaring at him, holding a sword, it was Lu Deng.

After Yan Zongbi was surprised, he saw a stream of blood flowing down Lu Deng's neck, and then he knew that Lu Deng had killed himself.

Wanyan Zongbi sighed, "I know, dare you be afraid that a certain family will come in, hurt your corpse, and kill your people, so you are standing?" ”

As he spoke, Wanyan Zongbi said to Ha Michi behind him, "Give me an order to go out, and instruct the sergeant to find a big place to camp, and not touch a single grass or tree among the people." Violators will be killed! ”

Ha Mi Chi took the order and went inside, Wanyan Zongbi saw a woman killing herself indoors, sighed, and ordered Lu Deng to be buried together.

At this time, a sergeant captured the butler and the nurse, and wanted to kill them, but after getting the military order of Ha Mi Chi, he put down his knife and axe and twisted it over, and Ha Mi Chi saw the three butlers and asked, "Who are the three of you?" Look at what you're wearing, it's not an ordinary family. ”

Due to the rush of time, the three of them did not have time to change their clothes, and the housekeeper and the nurse looked at each other and did not dare to speak.

Wanyan Zongbi was in a bad mood, and said angrily, "Don't say anything, do you really think I don't dare to kill people?" ”

The nurse was so frightened that she collapsed to the ground and cried: "This is Master Lu's son, the little woman is the nurse of this son, and this is the housekeeper." The poor lord and lady are loyal to the country, and they only have this bit of blood and bones, and they beg the king to spare their lives! ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongbi unconsciously said with tears in his eyes: "I see." After that, and after being loyal, I adopted this son as my son. Preserve him for the rest of his life. ”

The housekeeper said angrily: "My master's surname is Lu!" Could it be that the king is also surnamed Lu? ”

The surrounding sergeants listened and drew their swords one after another, and Wanyan Zongbi stopped and touched his nose and smiled, "That's what you said, I'll let him continue to be surnamed Lu and inherit the incense of Lu Xianggong, how about it?" ”

only heard a bang, it turned out that Lu Deng had only fallen at this time, Wanyan Zongbi couldn't help but be secretly surprised, and felt that the housekeeper had a strong personality, and he was afraid that he would have an impact on Lu Deng's son in the future, so he sent him to be a servant of other generals, and it was also his life.

Wanyan Zongbi won Lu County, and Yanshan Mansion has since all returned to the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Zongwang repaired for a few days, preparing to continue south.
