Chapter 500: The hearts of the people of Zhending City are attached, and the blood of the Ansu army is splashing
"This king's greatest fear is to give birth to such things. If it is because of us that the people of Hebei are harmed by the Khitan alien race, wouldn't my generation be as good as the Song family. β
"The suffering border people in Sizhiguangxin and Ansu are crying and wailing under the Khitan iron horse, my heart will not be at peace, and your brothers' hearts will be able to calm their daily lives?"
"Khitan Hulu, a thief with a wolf heart. On the occasion of the civil war in the Central Plains, it is really hateful to take advantage of the weakness to enter. This king wants to raise troops to the north and fight with one of them, and you brothers ......"
In the hall of Tanyuan, the generals of the Liangshan Army gathered, and Tian Hu also ranked first on the right. At this moment, he was looking at the angry King Lu in a daze, if his eyes could really scare the ground, his eye sockets at this time must be two black holes.
Lu Qian: What is this going to do?
The enemy of Zhao and Song is still there, and he has not captured Hedong, so he is about to fight with the Khitan.
Tian Hu didn't think it was a good thing to be hostile to the Khitan Liangshan army, but it was just a border area that suffered some losses. Li Shimin still has the Weishui Alliance, so if you can ease up in the future, won't you be able to fight the Khitan again? Why bother with the Khitan bull at this time?
And not only Lu Qian, the lord, but also the generals of the Liangshan Army present in the eyes of Tian Hu, were also angry at this moment, shouting one by one to kill the Khitan, so that they knew that it was powerful. It seems that they are not targeting the behemoth of the northern frontier of the Central Plains, but just a group of ordinary hairy bandits who are not at hand.
"This Liangshan Army is rampant." Tian Hu said in his heart.
But the truth is irreversible.
The next day, the Liangshan Army and the Tongtian Tiger Army, 50,000 foot armor and tens of thousands of cavalry, rose from inside and outside the city of Zhending. As for the reason, one day is enough time for it to spread throughout the whole Dharma. Tian Hu also had to send a military order, telling the soldiers and horses of Shenzhou to go north. The two armies merged into one in Dingzhou.
The impression of the people in Zhending City on the Liangshan Army rose sharply. After all, the border land of Hebei is always frightened by the Khitan Liao Kingdom. Although the Liao and Song dynasties have not been able to fight for a hundred years, they have never fought with each other, so it can be said that they have really been comfortable for a hundred years. Otherwise, how could the 300,000 Hebei forbidden army decay into a puddle of mud, and how did the powerful Khitan leather army become a palace army? [Peace is a mutual harm]
Now, as soon as this kind of kind face is completely broken, and a large number of Khitan troops knock into Hebei, the people of Hebei will suddenly churn out the fear that has long been forgotten in their hearts, and it will be much stronger than before. Because they know that they have nothing left to sustain.
At this time, the determination of Lu Qian and the Liangshan army came, and regardless of whether they could win the battle against the enemy in the north, in this instant, they had already replaced the Northern Song Dynasty and won the hearts of the people.
It was those great Confucian celebrities who stayed because of Chen Qiang's persuasion, and they felt very indifferent to Lu Qian in their hearts, and even very disgusted. I have to keep my mouth shut at this moment, because Lu Qian and Liang Shanjun are the 'political correctness' of Hebei at the moment.
This result was unexpected by Lu Qian. It's really unintentionally planted in the willows.
50,000 infantry armor, more than 10,000 cavalry, 3,000 troops led by Tian Biao, and more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Shenzhou Tianhu Division, with a total strength of about 80,000, known as the 150,000 army. Mighty to the north.
Tian Hu was very hard and helpless, under Lu Qian's power, there was no reason for him not to allow it. Although he was very afraid of the Khitan.
Lu Qian left 20,000 troops to garrison Zhending, one was to hold Jingcheng, the second was to guard the prisoners of Zhaozhou-Zhending Battle, and the third was to suppress the place. In this way, 20,000 cavalry troops are enough.
The true direction to the north is Dingzhou, and then to the northwest is Baozhou. At this time, Dingzhou and Baozhou, the soldiers and men of the two states had all gathered in Baozhou Baosai City [today's Baoding City], and the Liangshan army was naturally unimpeded all the way north.
The speed of the Khitan army to the south was very fast, the Guangxin army portal was opened, the large and small city army soldiers were bloodless, and the army was killed under the Ansu army city in the blink of an eye, and the Ansu army was the Baosai city of Baozhou.
Ansu Army, one of the military states in the border area of Hebei. Originally, there were as many as 7,000 garrisons, but compared to today, it is all in the past.
Thick clouds of smoke rose from the distant horizon.
Sun Min, the commander of the Ansu army, stood at the height of the city wall and looked down. I saw a dark cloud of cavalry rushing towards the military city. These cavalrymen were dressed in iron armor and carried large banners of hunting and flying. Outside the city, after a week of inspection, they were solemnly arrayed, and there were several cavalry returns, only after a while, I saw a piece of battle flags constantly gathering under the city, each flag is one, more than a thousand people, less than five or six hundred people, in the blink of an eye, it gathered into a force of nearly 10,000 cavalry, and the main general in the middle waved the flag in the wind.
This is the main force of the Khitan army of the Liao army south, followed by tens of thousands of Nanjing Daohan troops. The top leaders of the Liao State could not tolerate Lu Qian's almost commanding tone, and they felt an insult. Yes, it must fight back.
Another is that the situation in the Khitan is really not good. They never negotiated peace with the Jurchens, and the former still wanted to maintain a kind of dignity and hoped that the Jurchens would accept the status of 'subject state', while the latter scoffed at this, and they were only willing to be brothers with the Liao State.
If so, the soldiers at the junction of the two sides are not fierce, but they are not endless, the Jurchens have always maintained a kind of oppression on the Liao State, and the pressure on the Khitan high-level is very great. Even during these years, through horse sales, a lot of food, swords, and armor were exchanged from the Liangshan army, and the Khitan men from various departments were also transferred, and a cavalry army of more than 10,000 people was reorganized.
This makes them feel more and more urgent.
So, looking at the empty land of Hebei, why don't they want to take a bite? No one has a windfall, and he is not rich. The barbarism in the bones of the Khitan people made them know that robbery was the fastest way to make a fortune.
The combination of the two gives Khitan people great motivation.
Not to mention that the Song family has always lured them south, and its envoy Zhang Bangchang very bluntly mentioned that Li Tang borrowed the Hui soldiers to recover the two capitals, opening the door for the Liao army. Mo Yong's surrender without a fight is one of them.
If so, there is today's scene.
The army gathered, and the trumpets sounded constantly. Such a majestic force made Sun Min can't help but change color, and he can hear the voices of the people around him who are gritting their teeth and panting heavily. It's a state of mind that is both resentful and fearful!
Resentful of the treachery of the Khitan army, afraid of the towering army under the city, Mount Tai is overwhelming.
The cavalry was already densely packed, and it was easy to see the banner above. The person who came was none other than Wu Yanguang, the first general of the Liao State.
From the top of the city, under the banner, there were densely packed with Khitan soldiers dressed in black and brown armor. The shining blades shine brightly in the sunlight.
Among them, the leader is thirty-five or sixteen years old, dignified and dignified, with a body of more than six feet, a white face, red lips, yellow eyes, majestic and brave, and a strength of 10,000 people.
Wu Yanguang is a banner of the hardliners, how can he give up such a good opportunity today? At that moment, he personally led the troops south. Dispatch tens of thousands of Khitan cavalry to the greatest extent.
Although the army has only 'broken' the Guangxin army, it has already gained a lot. All kinds of materials and a large number of slaves were sent to the Liao State, which was a benefit visible to the naked eye, which made the morale of the whole army boiling.
Behind Wu Yanguang was a dense crowd of elite guards. Together with the generals in the army, they gazed at the military city of the Ansu army. Looking carefully at the flag on it, I didn't find any military flags with reinforcements!
Wu Yanguang smiled, pointed his horsewhip at the military city, and said loudly: "Where is the Song envoy?" β
At this time, Zhang Bangchang hurriedly came out of the queue and said, "General Wuyan, the foreign minister is here." β
"Since Emperor Song has asked our country to rescue, General Ben can't bear to kill more. Go quickly and persuade the army at the head of the city, so that they will come out immediately to pay respects, abandon the sword soldiers, and open the gates of the city, so as to make peace between the two countries. Otherwise, half an hour later, our army will start attacking, and when the blood is flowing like a river, Hugh blames the ruthlessness of the general's men. This is as if the Khitans did not commit any crimes in the military city of Guangxin.
"Yes, yes, general, and later, the foreign minister will go." Zhang Bangchang sang and harmonized with Wu Yanguang as if he was performing a double reed. Some unknown generals around Wu Yanguang really nodded at Wu Yanguang's words, but the real clear-eyed people let out a sneer in their hearts.
They did come to quell the thief in response to Zhao Song's feelings, but the thief was not Liang Shanjun, but Tian Hujun.
Today's actions, for example, robbers enter a neighbor's house, and the neighbor 'Liao State' does not come to the rescue, but also takes advantage of the fire to rob and share the spoils with the robbers.
This Zhang Bangchang is indeed the envoy of the Zhao official family, but this person is born with soft bones, and now he is not told to say whatever he wants, he will say whatever he wants.
But this matter is also due to Zhao Song, it was the Zhao official family who first wanted to borrow soldiers, and it was the Zhao official family who first wanted to be both a bitch and set up an archway. As soon as he was the emperor of the southern kingdom, he didn't care about his own people, let alone the Khitan.
"Where is Sun Xianggong of Ansu Army? A certain Zhang Bangchang was ordered by His Majesty to connect the Great Liao in the north and borrow troops to suppress the thieves. Today, the soldiers and horses of Daliao are here, why are you not open? Zhang Bangchang arrived at the city and called.
"Sun Xianggong, how is it now?" A person at the head of the city whispered to Sun Min, looking at his outfit, there is no doubt that he should be a military attachΓ©.
Sun Min's eyes erupted with fire and glared at the Song envoy under the city, "Zhang Bangchang! "With his hand on the sword at his waist, he wished to cut off the head of the brazen man in the city.
But looking at the dense Khitan army under the city, he sighed, and all his strength was gone, and said, "Wait for the switch to get out of the city!" β
"Xianggong!" The officer next to him shouted unwillingly. He could not bear the humiliation of succumbing to a foreign race. It's better to fight to the death. "The Jurchen and Khitan, like the Western Xia and the Great Song Dynasty in the past, both taught the two countries to the bone marrow. Such empathy should be even closer. But now, in order to gain temporary benefits, the Khitan has abandoned the century-old good of the two countries and set troops south, which is really hateful. Disaster relief and compassion for neighbors is the common meaning of ancient and modern times, but the Khitan took advantage of the fire to rob, this hatred and hatred, not the same day. β
"Yang Tuanlian's words comforted me. But people are under the eaves and have to bow their heads. There are only less than a thousand soldiers in my city, who are brave and brave, and they have been training for a long time, how can they be the opponents of these tens of thousands of enemies and tigers and wolves? And if the Khitan thieves break the city with soldiers, then the people in our city will suffer. β
Hearing this, the officer was speechless.
A quarter of an hour later, I saw the city gate open, and a group of people poured out, led by not Sun Min but the Ansu army to sentence Bao Nan, and the Ansu army still surrendered without a fight.
"Sun Xianggong, Sun Xianggong......" At the head of the city, Yang Xiong, the training envoy of the Ansu Legion, looked at Sun Min with a sword on his neck at a loss. It's not okay to be fair......"
"Haha, why not? As the head of an army, this official is incapable of defending his land and defending his city, so that more than 100,000 fathers and elders of the Ansu army are placed under the Hulu Iron Cavalry, and what face does he have to see the world, and he is even more ashamed of the court. The grace of the king, the heart of the people, there is no other retribution, only the heart of death! Seeing the city gate open, the city was about to be shattered, and Sun Min's heart was broken.
He can even accept to serve the Liangshan army, the tens of thousands of troops in Zhaozhou and Zhending have been wiped out, and there are more military states in the northern border areas that have surrendered, and it is not unreasonable for him to surrender with him. But he couldn't do it if he was told to bow down to the Khitans and live in the world after he was personally sent out of the Ansu military city.
"Hmm!" Pull the sword hard, and three feet of blood splash.
"Sun Xianggong, Sun Xianggong......" Sun Min's body fell, and Yang Xiong wept bitterly. This person is still his benevolent father, if it weren't for Sun Min's several promotions, how could he first be the executioner of the two courts and the city Cao Xing, and then come all the way to the position of training envoy of this regiment? Lying on the head of the city, a deeper and thicker hatred is taking root and sprouting......
[In the original work, Yang Xiong was in Jizhou, and Jizhou during this period belonged to the territory of the Liao State, that is, Yuyang. It's because it's supposed to be an Ansu army]
"What's going on in the city?" Under the city, Wu Yanguang couldn't help frowning when he heard the cry. His army was about to enter the city, but at this moment there was a cry, how unlucky!
Personally rushed to investigate with Lian Lian on horseback, and reported after a while: "Sun Min, the commander of the Ansu Army, committed suicide!" β
The group of Khitan soldiers who were talking and laughing immediately froze their smiles on their faces, and even their hands couldn't help but be heavy, and they plucked out his three hairs!
"Uh-huh, yes. The army camped outside, divided the army to defend this place, collected the Han sabers, bows and crossbows, and all kinds of materials in the city, and buried the Nazhi army! β
Wu Yanguang was in a bad mood for a while, and simply did not enter the city. Anyway, tomorrow will continue to be difficult. Just stay outside! The most important thing for this army to go south is speed. The Khitan people have no intention of tearing their faces with the Liangshan army, then Lu Qian has already led the troops north, numbering 150,000 troops, even if it is a false report, there are 100,000 small people. It's menacing, but it's not easy to dismiss.
Both sides want to keep a share of face, this southward journey, for them, is just a harvest journey, and they do not intend to occupy Han land, they only want materials and slaves.
The matter of the Ansu army was just a small episode on the way of the Khitan army, and Wu Yanguang and his group had no intention of really expanding their territory, except for chanting in their hearts: The Han people are not convinced, and they don't pay much attention to it. At this time, it was not the time for the Khitan to go down to Hebei.
