Chapter 400: Hebei Jade Qilin
"What's wrong with you? The order of the imperial court was not issued so quickly, was it? β
In the study, Wu Zhi stretched out his arms and sat behind the desk, Wu Song, Hua Rong and Zhu Wu stood in front of Wu Zhi in two rows with a group of Water Margin warriors.
"Hey! Great officials! The imperial court has Tong Guan's servant in charge of military affairs, and he will not easily agree to our war in Hebei! Lu Zhishen said in a loud voice.
"Oh, will it?" Wu Zhiguan'er smiled and asked leisurely: "I heard that Tong Guantong Tai Lieutenant, but his military achievements are great, and he was invincible when he led the Northwest Army to pacify Tibet and Western Xia, and he must be extremely wise, why wouldn't he agree to your request to fight?" β
Except for Wu Songhuarong and Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen didn't know about Wu Zhi and Tong Guan's festival, so Wu Zhi deliberately asked.
"That Tong Guan has some skills, but you are not in the army, you don't know, this person has always been very happy, once there is any great merit in the army, he is faster than anyone else!" Lu Zhishen glared at him and continued: "This time there is a chaotic army in Hebei Zhulu, Tong Guan will definitely transfer his descendants from the northwest to exterminate it, it is nothing for him to steal the merit, but the northwest is thousands of miles away from here, and when the army is transferred, the daylily is cold, I don't know how many innocent people in the Great Song Dynasty have suffered!" β
Yang Zhi on the side also bowed down to Wu Zhi and said: "And the strength of my Qingzhou battalion, the imperial court does not know, even if Tong Guan does not transfer the Northwest Army, there is still a forbidden army in the capital, I am afraid that it will not be our turn." β
Listening to the words of the two of them, Wu Zhi nodded slightly, Tong Guan really likes to fight for merit, and the forbidden army in the capital has also been corrupted by the commanders of the past dynasties and Gao Yu is only the scum combat effectiveness, once the forbidden army is transferred over, I am afraid that it will be a meat bun and a dog, and send heads and armaments to those chaotic troops out of thin air.
"Big brother, we came this time to ask you to write a letter to Lord Murong......" Hua Rong on the side said helplessly.
Wu Song next to him had a solemn face, and Zhu Wu also frowned slightly.
Wu Zhi looked at them, shook his head and said, "No, Brother Murong has just entered Bianjing, his foundation is unstable, and he is only in charge of the household department, although he can speak in front of the emperor, it is not good to open his mouth to fight for us or something." β
Although the relatives enjoyed glory and wealth in the Great Song Dynasty, no one dared to provoke them, but in terms of military power, the court was the most taboo about them, so Murong Yanda couldn't help.
"But we can't just watch the Liao army brutalize our people in the Great Song Dynasty under our noses, right?" Wu Song said in a deep voice.
Everyone looked at Wu Zhi with blank eyes at this time, their eyes were full of expectation, they knew that Wu Zhi would definitely have a way.
In fact, Wu Zhi didn't have any good ideas at the moment, and after pondering for a moment, he asked Wu Song and them.
"How many rebels are there in Hebei?"
Wu Song immediately replied: "I have already sent spies to find out that there are about 20,000 troops in the rebellion this time, all of whom are cavalry. Counting some stragglers who fled, it had reached 30,000. β
"So many people?!"
Wu Zhi was stunned for a moment, before he only thought that the chaotic army was just a rabble, so he didn't care too much, but he didn't expect that the number of formed troops had reached as many as 20,000, and they were all cavalry with strong mobility and high combat effectiveness!
This is not trivial, in ancient times, the war between countries, which invested tens of thousands of troops, was already a large-scale battle.
I wonder if this chaotic army can take away the territory of Hebei.
"Who is the leader of these rebellious armies?"
Wu Zhi was puzzled, although the Jin State is now powerful, the total strength is only tens of thousands, and the Liao State has such a cavalry of tens of thousands of people, why did it turn into a chaotic army to invade the Great Song Dynasty, but not to resist those Jin countries who have a deep hatred with them?
"The leader of the lead is named Jerodagri!"
"What? People from the Liao clan! β
Wu Zhi was even more surprised now, the emperor of Liao was surnamed Yelu, this Yelu Dagli had also heard of Wu Zhi a little before, he was a general of Liao, and he was also the brother-in-law of Yelu Yanxi, the current emperor of Liao, who favored his concubine, and strictly speaking, he was also the emperor's brother-in-law.
How could such a pivotal general of the Liao State lead his troops to flee into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and become a chaotic army at the critical moment when the Liao State was beaten by the Jin people and was about to destroy the country?
"It's that Liao general Yelu Da Geri!
Wu Song on the side obviously had countless information about the Liao State, and seeing that Wu Zhi was puzzled, he concisely explained the various major events that had happened in the Liao State and Wu Zhi recently.
After listening to it dumbfounded, Wu Zhi was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses, the ancient information was blocked, and Wu Zhi had newspapers at most, and he could only grasp the information of Bianjing and several newspaper prefecture cities, and he was not so well-informed about foreign news.
The so-called country is about to die, there will be demons, and the Jin country should rise. There are "six thieves" and six thieves in the Great Song Dynasty who loot the people's fat and ointment, constantly consuming national strength, and the amount of corruption is often tens of millions, which is equivalent to tens of billions of yuan, and the top corrupt officials in later generations will not dare to be so greedy at one time. And in addition to the mediocre emperor, the Liao State also produced a country-destroying demon.
This person's name is Xiao Fengxian.
The emperors of the Liao State have taken the Xiao woman for generations, and the queen must also be surnamed Xiao, which is the tradition of the Khitan royal family, and the surname Yelu and the surname Xiao are both extremely expensive family surnames in the Liao State.
This Xiao Fengxian's sister was also a concubine of the Liao Emperor.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi had six sons, namely Yelu Aolu, King of Jin, Yelu Yali, King of Liang, Yelu Tartlu, King of Yan, Yelu Xi Nilie, King of Qin, Yelu Ding, King of Xu, and Yelu Ning, King of Xu.
The most outstanding was the Jin king Yelu Aolu.
There are two main concubines, Concubine Wen and Concubine Yuan. Concubine Wen gave birth to King Yelu Ao Lu of Jin, and Concubine Yuan gave birth to King Yelu of Qin.
This concubine is Xiao Fengxian's sister.
Well, with such a relationship, Xiao Fengxian suddenly decided to carry out a palace coup on a whim when the country was about to be unable to be saved, and wanted to put his nephew Qin Wang Yeluding on the throne of the emperor.
Then the Jin Dynasty must die.
And the power of the King of Jin is very large, and almost all the military and political systems of the Liao court are the people of the King of Jin. In addition to the strength of King Jin himself, the power of his mother Concubine Wen alone is super strong. Concubine Wen has a sister and a sister, and her sister's husband is now Yelu Tart Geli who has defected to the Great Song Dynasty, and her sister's husband is called Yelu Yu's name, and they were both the top generals of the Liao State at that time, and they were leading the army to fight with the Jin people on the front line.
Xiao Fengxian wanted to carry out a coup d'Γ©tat to kill the king of Jin, which was actually equivalent to completely destroying the military and political system of the Liao State.
If all this is really destroyed, the military and political strength of the Liao State will be immediately downshifted. At a time of national crisis, it is purely suicidal to do so. But Xiao Fengxian didn't care, he only had the happiness of this handful of people in his family in his eyes.
Ruining everyone for the sake of a small family is the common idea of the scum of Song and Liao. Xiao Fengxian of the Liao State did the work of Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng, Wang Hao and everyone else, and his high level of business was really the most dazzling existence in that era.
It's really not in vain, and Lu Bu is not his opponent when he plays tricks in his second life.
Wu Song did not explain the specific details one by one, but said that Xiao Fengxian carefully designed a trap, and after the King of Jin was fooled, he was extremely shocked and shouted next to Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao that the King of Jin wanted to force the palace to rebel, which provoked Emperor Liao (who was also a faint monarch) to be furious, and immediately ordered to kill the King of Jin and Concubine Wen.
Only one life was left for the king of Jin, and an edict was issued to the front line to recall Yelu Yuxuan and Yelu Dagri, these two generals were suddenly forced, who did they provoke whom? They are working for the country, and suddenly the country wants their lives, why is this?
When they came to their senses, there were only two paths in front of them, waiting for death, or running away.
As a result, Yelu Yu was so resentful that he turned around and surrendered to the Jin people, and in turn attacked the Liao State for the Jin people. And Yelu Dageri was more conscientious, and did not counterattack his own motherland, but led his troops to break into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty and became such a chaotic army.
Wu Zhi couldn't help but smile bitterly, no wonder the Jin people started from the primitive tribe and rose so quickly, whether it was the Liao State or the Song State, how similar it was, the emperor was mediocre, and the traitorous ministers caused chaos in the dynasty, which called the number of qi was exhausted, but the Jin people had God's blessing.
"Daguanren, this chaotic army has now occupied half of Hebei, if you don't get rid of it early, I'm afraid it will be big, you see ......"
After Zhu Wu finished speaking, Lu Zhishen also shouted.
"If that Tong Guan really doesn't allow us to fight, but instead has to travel thousands of miles to transport the Western Army, we will simply disobey the order to fight! It's a big deal to be subject to military law! β
Wu Zhi waved his hand to signal them not to be impatient, it is true that this Liao army is strong, and when the Western Army comes, they must have gained a firm foothold in Hebei, and the Western Army has traveled thousands of miles, and how much combat effectiveness can it have if it comes over again, if it is damaged by this chaotic army, the vitality of the most elite Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty will be more than worth the loss.
The best decision at the moment is to let Wu Song's Qingzhou battalion go to fight against the rebels, Qingzhou is at the junction with Hebei, and the logistics supply is sufficient.
After a moment of silence, Wu Zhi's eyes flickered!
"The rebel army must resist, at least let them sleep and eat in my Great Song Dynasty!"
"Good! Did the senior officials also agree to our fighting? β
"No, military law can't be violated!" Wu Zhi looked at them categorically and continued: "To fight the rebellion, it is not necessary to send troops openly, the imperial court does not allow the army to cross the border, but it does not restrict the movement of ordinary people. β
After Wu Zhi finished speaking, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Big brother is talking about ......"
"Well, that's good. Master Lu and Hua Rong took 2,000 men and horses to turn into civilians and quietly lurk in Hebei, looking for opportunities to fight against the rebel army. β
"Two thousand people, isn't it too little?"
"No more, or you'll be seen."
Wu Zhi shook his head and said, it is ridiculous to say, for the country to fight against the rebellious army, he actually has to prevent being recognized by his own people......
"What? You don't have faith? β
Seeing that the general's face was solemn, Wu Zhi deliberately excited, thinking about it, after all, there were nearly 30,000 people in the chaotic army, and only 2,000 people were sent to go, and it was indeed an egg hitting a stone.
"Anyway, we can't reveal our identities, we try to avoid head-on clashes with the chaotic army, and adopt guerrilla tactics, two thousand people are enough!" Wu Song established tactics for the first time.
"That's right! With 2,000 people, I can kill them without leaving a single piece of armor! Ha ha! β
Master Lu laughed heroically, and Wu Zhi said with a smile: "When you arrive in Hebei, don't immediately make enemies with the rebellious army, go to the Hebei Daimyo Mansion to find someone first." β
"Who?"
"Hebei Jade Qilin, the name Lu Junyi!"
Wu Zhi stood up and continued: "With him supporting you, you don't have to worry about revealing your identity, and you can expand your forces!" β
