The Song Dynasty made Zhao Liangsi and Ma Zheng return to China, not to mention that the Jin army was strong and strong after a period of rest. Ah Gu ordered his younger brother Wu Qimai to join Sagai, Xi Bulo, and Ali to defend Huining, and he personally commanded the army to march west to Huanglongfu again.

The Jin army left Huining, and Xiaoxing stayed overnight and came to the Mingtong River. On this day, the sky was clear and the sun was scorching, and there was not a single ferry on the rough river. The sparrows in the forest were chirping and chirping, and Aguta looked up at the sky, and there was an eagle hovering in the sky.

Ah Gu got off his horse and walked to the river, accompanied by Xi Yin, and he looked forward to the south bank. At this time, the Malay report reported that there was not a single ferry boat in sight within ten miles of the upper and lower levels. Ah Guda said to himself: "How to cross the river without a boat by the river? ”

Xi Yin said: "Your Majesty, even if there are one or two boats, you can't ferry thousands of troops and horses, and there are many trees along the river, so it is better to order soldiers to cut down trees and make wooden rafts instead of boats, and they can be crossed within three days."

Ah Guda shook his head and said, "This will take time and will never be feasible. Xi Yin said: "There are no people in a radius of dozens of miles here, what else can be done?" Ah Gu said: "The soldiers are fast, how about wading?" Xi Yin looked helpless and said: "The river is vast, the water is rapid, how to wade across the river if the situation is unknown?" Ah Gu said: "Find a person who is familiar with water nature, and explore the way ahead." ”

"That's all there is to it." So Xi Yin immediately turned around and shouted, "Who is familiar with water? ”

Xi Yin shouted a few times and no one accosted him, and just as Xi Yin was about to summon Bo Jin to discuss the matter, a soldier walked out of the team and came to Xi Yin, saying that he was familiar with water. Ah Guda asked, "Are you good at water?" ”

The soldier "plopped" and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I have lived by the mixed river with my father since I was a child, and I made a living by fishing and touching shrimp, I soaked in the water all day long, I grew up in the river, my skin was tanned in the rain and sun, and my friends called me 'black fish'." ”

Ah Guda smiled slightly: "Heh, as soon as I hear the nickname, I know that you kid has a good water nature, and he is a good Jurchen offspring." The soldier replied seriously: "Back to the emperor, the little one is not a Jurchen." Ah Guda looked a little puzzled and said, "Oh, you're not a Jurchen? ”

The soldier replied: "The younger one is the Khitan people who live in Ningjiang Prefecture, my family has lived there for generations, and last year they joined the mixed army, and when the emperor attacked Ningjiang Prefecture, the little one was unwilling to die for the emperor Tianzuo." He led more than a dozen brothers to defect to the Ming Lord, the Ming Lord did not distinguish between the Jurchen Khitan, and treated us as brothers, and the younger ones were willing to serve the emperor. ”

Ah Gu inquired and sighed: "Tianzuo, this faint king, is extremely poor and does not know how to sympathize with the people, and with him, the Khitan people do not have a good life." Well, since you know how to be watery, wade in front of you and get up."

The soldier stood up and took off his clothes and walked into the middle of the river, he tried to advance, after several sections of the river he turned back, and after several explorations he finally found a way to wade to the south bank downstream.

The soldier returned to the north shore in the long-distance and expectation of everyone, knelt in front of Aguta and said, "Your Majesty, just follow the villain." So he ordered him to lead the way.

Ah Guda looked back at everyone: "Look at my horse." Xi Yin hurriedly walked in front of Ah Guta, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, you can't do it, the ministers should move forward." ”

Ah Guda was willing to listen, and stepped into the river first, followed by the living girl and Xi Yin, the quicksand at the bottom of the river was slow, and the water only reached the belly of the horse, and the "black fish" walked in front and raised his hand to signal, and the army of the Jin Kingdom was moving forward in the waves.

The sand dunes on the south bank of the Yangtze River are undulating and artemisia grass everywhere, there is an old man who fishes for a living, Zhenghe is cutting firewood there, the old man will cut the artemisia grass on the ground, drying it in rows, and his grandson is catching insects and playing in the grass. When the scorching sun was over, the old man took off his straw hat from time to time to fan the wind and wiped his sweat with the placket of his clothes, and then bent down to continue cutting firewood.

At this time, a dark cloud suddenly drifted in the clear sky, and then a heavy thunder and dark cloud dispersed, and bean-sized raindrops fell from the sky. The old man hurriedly bundled a few bundles of firewood and stacked them, and he pulled his grandson to squat down to avoid the rain. At this time, the rain fell more and more heavily, and suddenly the rain curtain connected the earth with the sky.

As the saying goes, "it doesn't rain across the road", and the rain has not fallen on the river just a stone's throw away. Under the illumination of the slanting sun, the sparkling light was dazzling, and at this time, the front army led by Aguta was about to reach the south bank.

The rain on the south bank was still falling, and the grandfather was squatting close to Chai He, and he held his grandson tightly in his arms, for fear that his grandson would get wet, and his back was already soaked by the rain. The rain was still falling, and suddenly, the grandson struggled and shouted, "Look, Grandpa, dragon, a golden dragon!" The old man raised his head and looked, through the rain and mist, he saw that the river was shining with golden light, and a long dragon was coming, he rubbed his eyes and looked again, it was really a golden dragon cruising on the river, coming to the south bank. He exclaimed: "The real dragon is in the lower realm, the real dragon is in the lower realm." ”

As soon as the old man's words fell, another thunderstorm stopped the sky. He looked up and saw where the dragon came from, and it turned out that it was a large army wading across the river. He pushed his grandson away and knelt down to the oncoming army.

At this time, Xi Yin accompanied Aguda to the riverbank. Seeing an old man kneeling on the ground, Ah Guda dismounted and leaned over and said, "Why is the old man like this?" "Helped the old man up. The old man stood up and looked at Ah Guda at a loss, and Xi Yin said: "Don't be afraid, old man, this is the current emperor of the Dajin Kingdom." ”

When the old man heard this, he hurriedly turned around and bowed again: "I'm not mistaken, it's really the real dragon son!" Ah Guda helped the old man up again and asked, "Where did this come from?" The old man told him everything he had seen. Ah Guda smiled indifferently and asked, "Where is the old man's home?" ”

The old man replied, "The villain's family lives in Pennsylvania. Ah Guta asked again: "Your son is young and strong, why did you let your ancestors and grandchildren come out to cut firewood?" The old man said: "Since Penn returned to the Jin State, the government has exempted many miscellaneous taxes, and the requisition of the people has been reduced by half, and the people have a much better life of fishing and hunting and reclaiming wasteland. Ah Gu inquired about what the old man said, and thought to himself, reducing the people's taxes and levying the people's husbands will win the hearts of the people.

Xi Yin asked, "Old man, how far is it from here to Xiangzhou?" The old man turned around and replied with a finger in his hand: "Follow this path up the river and go south all the way, about sixty or seventy miles." ”

Ah Gu inquired, said thank you, and then got on the horse, and the army moved forward quickly. The Jurchen army marched through the artemisia grass, and the banner of "gold" was waved in the wind. The grandfather and grandson stood on the high post and watched the army go away.

Xiangzhou is also a soil city, is the northern gateway of Huanglongfu, it chokes the Huanglongfu Liao army north to the main road, the last time the Jin soldiers wanted to attack Huanglongfu because the Liao army entered Ningjiangzhou and returned to the army, A Guda then ordered the general Pucha and I saw to supplement the town to defend the city.

Let's talk about Huanglong Mansion. Yelu Duo was defeated and dismissed, and Tianzuo appointed Yelu Neng as the defender to guard the city. Xiangzhou, Yizhou, and Penn to the north of Huanglongfu were all occupied by the Jin State, and the ancient city of Dalu on the east bank of the Yangtze River was under the control of the Jin State. Yelu could expect that Aguda would come to attack sooner or later, and he felt that he had a great responsibility.

So, while he hoarded grain and grass; While building a city wall to strengthen the defense. On this day, when he heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Tongtong River, he immediately sent someone to report the military situation to Emperor Tianzuo.

On this day, Pu Cha and Wu Jianbu were training soldiers and horses in the school field, and suddenly received a report from Tanma, saying that the emperor personally commanded the army to go south and arrived in Xiangzhou in less than half a day. Pu Cha listened to the task of handing over the drill to the lieutenant general, and he and I were ready to meet the army.

Aguda led the men and horses on, and from time to time pheasants, hares and flocks of yellow sheep were startled in the grass. From time to time, you can see patches of farmland with seedlings growing on both sides of the road.

The next day, the army of the Jin Kingdom came to the city of Xiangzhou. A Guda raised his eyes and looked, there was a big flag with the word "gold" on the head of the city, the city gate was opened, Pucha, I saw the city to meet the emperor. The two Bo Jin knelt down and said, "The emperor has worked his journey. Ah Gu got off the horse and said: "The two Bo Jin have worked hard, please get up quickly." ”

After a few greetings, Aguta and Xi Yin, accompanied by the two, walked towards the city. Between walking, there is a remnant tower not far away, and the broad base of the tower is covered with artemisia grass and green vines. Ah Guda stopped in front of the remnant tower to watch, and asked me: "Is this a ruined tower?" Why did you scrap it after half of it? Seeing the emperor's puzzled look, I saw it and added: "Your Majesty, there is still a legend about this half-abandoned tower." ”

Ah Gu laughed and said, "What legend can a ruined tower have?" ”

So, I saw the supplement and talked about the origin of the half-cut tower. I saw and added: "When the last general first arrived in Xiangzhou, I listened to an old man, saying that during the reign of the Holy Sect, one day, Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena and saw a giant star falling in the city of Huanglongfu, and he reported to the emperor that Huanglongfu was going to unearth a dragon. The Holy Sect was shocked when he heard this, and thought that the earth dragon must be my real dragon, and Qin Tianjian saw the emperor's surprised appearance, so he said that the Holy Lord did not have to worry, and he could suppress it by building a tower there. When the Holy Sect heard this, he didn't dare to slack off, so he followed Qin Tianjian to Huanglong Mansion to repair the tower. When he arrived in Xiangzhou, Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena and found that the dragon's head was here, so he immediately decided to build a tower here. When the repair was halfway through, Qin Tianjian observed the celestial phenomena again, saying that Tulong knew that he was going to press it, so he ran back to Huanglong Mansion, so the tower was stopped, and another tower was built in Huanglong Mansion. Now the towering tower of Huanglong Mansion was built by the Holy Sect back then, and this tower was abandoned. Later, people called Xiangzhou 'Half Section'"

Ah Gu inquired and said with a smile: "This holy sect, I heard that there was going to be an 'earth dragon' and frightened him, alas, what is the use of repairing the tower, it is not as good as cultivating virtue by repairing the tower and repairing the temple." ”

I saw it and added: "The emperor's words are extremely true, but today's Tianzuo is far inferior to the Holy Sect, the Holy Sect can be called a promising king, and this Tianzuo has no virtue at all." I heard that there was a three-year drought in the Zuzhou area, the bark of the trees was eaten up, and the starvation was all over the field, and tens of thousands of victims gathered to rebel, and he was still hunting everywhere. Ah Gu said: "Every hungry person may be an earth dragon, whether it is the Holy Sect or Tianzuo, can he suppress it?" ”

Pu Cha said: "Building a tower is just to solve doubts. Xi Yin said: "If today's son loses morality, the hungry people rebel, and the number of Great Liao Qi is exhausted, the grievances of the people of Li are like volcanoes about to erupt, what tower can suppress it?" ”??

The monarch and the ministers walked and talked, and then came to the state office. The state government is an earthen house, which is very old and looks very old, far less elegant than the Ningjiang state government. It was getting late, and Pu Cha and I saw that a supplementary banquet was set up to entertain Akuta and everyone Bo Jin.

The next day, Aguta discussed with Zhu Bojin in the state government the strategy of attacking Huanglong Mansion.

Aguda looked at Pucha and asked:

"Do you know the military situation of the Huanglong Mansion?" Pu Cha said: "Your Majesty, the soldiers of the Huanglong Mansion are well fed, the city is strong, and the new Yelu can be quite strategic, not comparable to other cities, if you want to capture the city, you must plan carefully." ”

Xi Yin said: "If this city is attacked, Tianzuo will send reinforcements." Pu Cha said: "According to the detailed report, Yelu Neng Chi wrote for help, and Emperor Tianzuo and his ministers and concubines were still fishing and hunting, and they didn't care about my army's southern crossing of the Tongtong River. ”

Ah Gu laughed and said: "Okay, Tianzuo has given me another chance, Yelu can be covered in iron, he can twist a few nails, no matter how strong the city is, my army will capture it at all costs." ”

At this moment, the Yizhou guard general Hei Hei led the army to arrive. Ah Gu beat the black and entered the palace. Hei Hei entered the house and knelt down and said:

"After receiving the emperor's order, the humble general will bring a thousand elite soldiers to arrive and obey the emperor's dispatch."

Ah Gu laughed and said: "Since the black general returned to the Jin Kingdom and is loyal to the emperor, his surname is not black, this time he attacked the Huanglong Mansion, and he can get the 'black hand' to treat the enemy soldiers?" ”??

Ah Gu said that everyone laughed, and after laughing, Ah Gu said: "Everyone, this attack on Huanglong Mansion is extraordinary, Huanglong Mansion is an important border town in northeast Liao, with a division of soldiers and horses, and once presided over the Ministry of the Five Kingdoms. If you hit the Huanglong Mansion, it is equivalent to inserting a knife in Tianzuo's back. Although the Huanglong Mansion is strong, the grain and grass are sufficient, and the defense makes Yelu Neng not a mediocre person. However, the Liao State did not set up a heavy army to defend the country, and Tianzuo did not increase reinforcements, so such a military town did not attract the attention of Tianzuo, and no one in the Manchu Dynasty said that it was a godsend. ”

Xi Yin said: "The Liao Dynasty is not without people of insight, but it's a pity that Tianzuo can't listen to his words and use his abilities. Ah Gu said: "It is precisely because of this that Tianzuo has brought the country to such a point, and this is precisely the opportunity he gave me, the opportunity cannot be lost, and the attack on Huanglong Mansion will definitely be a battle." As for how to attack, you must open your hearts and speak freely, and I will listen to the opinions of the hearers. ”

As soon as Ah Guda's voice fell, Pu Cha hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, according to Weichen's opinion, when there are no reinforcements outside the Huanglong Mansion, we will surround the city on all sides and attack it with all our might, and the city can be broken." Ah Gu listened quietly without words, obviously he wanted to hear more people's opinions. Hei Hei said: "Pucha is right, there is no other way but to attack. ”

Ah Guda still had no words, Xi Yin looked at the emperor's facial expression, knowing that he did not approve of the two siege and attack strategy, he glanced at Lou Room, Lou Room comprehended, hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, Huanglong Mansion is commonly known as Liao Yinfu, the besiegers hold its strong, the three northern states are occupied by me, and the Xianzhou far away in the south is also owned by me, only the state city west of Xianzhou in the north of Liaoshui is still occupied by the Liao people and the Xi Department, if you do not exterminate the troops of the western cities and cut off their foreign aid, it is difficult to have a chance of winning by forcibly attacking the city, so first sweep away the enemy of the western cities and then attack the city, The city can be broken. ”

Ah Gu inquired about Lou Mur's strategy for using troops, and said: "Lou Mur Bo Jin is reasonable, if the city is besieged and attacked, once the reinforcements from outside break through to the inside and outside, our army will be defeated. ”

"That's right, wipe out the Liao soldiers in the west, turn Huanglong Mansion into a lonely city, and then gather all your strength to attack the city, so that you can win in one battle." Heeon nodded approvingly.

The discussion of Lou Room and Xi Yin coincided with Ah Guda, so he glanced at everyone and said, "Which Bo Jin is willing to lead his troops to sweep away the enemy on the periphery of Huanglong Mansion?" As soon as the emperor's voice fell, Lou Room and Bo Luhuo clenched their fists at the same time and begged for their lives: "The ministers are willing to go!" ”

Ah Gu said: "Since the two Bo Jin have asked for the order to lead the troops, then I will give the order, and the Lou room will be the main general Bo Luhuo as the deputy, and each will lead the headquarters of 3,000 men and horses to set off tomorrow morning." ”

The two hugged their fists and said: "Please wait for the emperor!" With that, he turned around and walked out of the state office.
