Chapter 404: The Great Army Arrives
After hearing the news, Wanyan Lou immediately knew that Zhending Mansion was in danger!
Zhending Mansion is now only garrisoned by 30,000 Jurchen soldiers, and if Qu Duan came from the east of the river, the number of soldiers and horses led by him must be extremely large, and it is possible to exceed 100,000! Although the Zhending Mansion is strong, the Jurchens are not good at defending the city, once the Han army surrounds the Zhending Mansion, I am afraid that the Zhending Mansion will soon be broken by the Han people!
"Master, we must immediately lead our troops to Zhending Mansion to meet the Song army in Hedong." Wanyan Jingdao.
"This ...... There are a lot of soldiers and horses in the Quduan Song army, we only have more than 50,000 people in Zhongshan Mansion, and we have to leave people to guard Zhongshan Mansion, so we can only have 30,000 or 40,000 people go to Zhending Mansion! In this kind of hard battle with the Song army, we may not be able to win, and even if we win, we will suffer heavy casualties. The population of the Han people is 100 times that of ours, and their military strength is also several times that of ours, so such a hard war is not worth it, and we cannot fight such a hard war. Wan Yan Lou said.
"What about Zhendingfu? What about the 30,000 soldiers there? "Wanyan Jingdao.
"Someone, pass my order, let the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhending Mansion immediately withdraw from Zhending Mansion and go to Zhongshan Mansion!" Wan Yan Lou said.
"What? No! Master, how can we give up Zhending Mansion? Wan Yanjing said anxiously.
"I had to do this too! Zhending Mansion may not be able to hold it now, let those 30,000 soldiers and horses come to Zhongshan Mansion, and our strength in Zhongshan and Hejian will be greatly increased! Zhongshan and Hejian are two of the three towns in the north, with more than 100,000 troops and impregnable cities, we can still stay in the Central Plains! Zhongshan and Hejian supported each other, and the Han people did not want to conquer these two places. Wan Yan Lou said.
"However, Zhending Mansion is also the city of our Jurchens, and we can't give up easily!" Wan Yan Jing stubbornly said.
"That's not our Jurchen city, it's the Han city, it doesn't matter if we give it up." Wan Yan Lou said lightly.
"We have given up Hedong, do we want to give up Zhendingfu now? Also, when my father first came to Hebei, he said that he wanted to occupy the Daimyo's Mansion, but now the Daimyo's Mansion is also occupied by the Han Chinese! In a place as big as Shandong Road, except for Dezhou and Qizhou, there were Song troops raging! Is this Central Plains still the Central Plains of our Jurchens? Wan Yanjing was furious.
"The Central Plains is not our hometown in the first place! Our hometown is in the north! It must have started to snow there by now, right? Wan Yan Lou looked to the north, with some nostalgia.
At the end of September of the lunar calendar, it is almost equivalent to the beginning of the eleventh month of the solar calendar in later generations, and at such a time, the first snow has already fallen in the Northeast and the Russian Far East, not to mention that the climate in ancient times was much colder than now.
"Since the Central Plains is occupied by our Jurchens, it belongs to our Jurchens, and we should not give up the Central Plains! For me, the Central Plains is also my hometown, and Taiyuan City is my hometown. Wan Yanjing said unconvinced.
Wan Yanjing is only fourteen years old now, he came to the Central Plains when he was nine years old, and spent most of his time in Taiyuan City after that. When he was a child, his memory was vague, and he was not very impressed by the Liaodong area, on the contrary, he lived in Taiyuan City for six years, and he was extremely familiar with Taiyuan City! He felt that enjoying the civilization and wealth created by the Han people and enslaving the Han people was the life he was accustomed to living from childhood to adulthood, not hunting in the ice and snow of Liaodong!
"In the future, we will recapture the entire Central Plains! Now, we only have Zhongshan and Hejian left, even if more than 100,000 soldiers and horses led by Liu Yu and countless Han untouchables arrived, it was still too small! Especially after the arrival of the Song army in Hedong, our strength is really too weak! I want to write a letter to the second prince, and ask him to bring Liu Yu and the others back, and immediately use Liu Yu's army to open the way in front, and we will go north to lay down Juyong Pass, and then return to the north! After arriving in the north, Wan Yanchang and the fourth prince still have a lot of troops in their hands, and Lord Zonghan is also in the north, let's train our troops well first, so that our troops are as strong as when we opened the country, and then we will continue to go south and seize the Central Plains! When we go south again, it will be the time when the Han people will be completely wiped out! The remaining Han people who are surviving, they are also slaves, pigs and dogs are not as good, we can fight if we want, kill if we want, what do you think? Wan Yan Lou said.
"However, I still don't want to give up the Central Plains." Wan Yanjing gritted his teeth and said.
"I don't want to, but it's the best way to do it right now! Only by knowing how to give up can you get more things! Wan Yan Lou said.
"Master, can you let me stay in the Central Plains? I only need 30,000 soldiers and horses, no, as long as 10,000 soldiers and horses, I want to stay in the Central Plains all the time, and I want the Han people to understand the truth that the Jurchens are invincible again! I will lead 10,000 soldiers and horses to defeat hundreds of thousands of Song troops, what do you think? Wan Yan Jing looked at Wan Yan Lou's room and said longingly.
'No way!' The Jurchens are invincible', this was the case before, but in recent years, our Jurchen army has not been as good as before. Wan Yan Lou said with a wry smile.
"Why not as before? I see that our soldiers are still very brave and good at fighting! I have also seen Liu Yu's Han army, which is far inferior to ours! "Wanyan Jingdao.
"In the past, we lived in bitter cold, we were hungry all the year round, we didn't have gorgeous clothes to wear, but our combat power was unparalleled in the world! After getting the Liao Kingdom and the Central Plains, we enjoy glory and wealth, and the soldiers have been corrupted by wealth! Ay! Wan Yan Lou Room sighed and said.
"I don't believe it!" Wanyan Jingdao.
"That's just the way it is." Wan Yan Lou shook his head slightly.
The rain outside was even heavier, and bursts of cold air poured towards the hut, Wan Yan Jing couldn't help but shrink his head, and Wan Yan Lou said softly: "If it was in Liaodong before, what is such a chill?" Back then, in Liaodong, a child of your size, even in such weather, was still practicing outside shirtless! Now no Jurchen person would do that anymore! ”
Wan Yan Jing frowned, although he was not convinced, he didn't know how to refute Wan Yan Lou.
"Let's wait for news from your father! If the second prince can lead Liu Yu's army of more than 100,000 to arrive, our soldiers and horses will reach more than 300,000! At that time, we are fearless. Wan Yan Lou said.
******
It rained heavily, and in the middle of the night, the rain turned to ice.
The weather was getting colder and colder, and there were countless Jurchen soldiers guarding the city on the walls of Zhongshan Mansion, but now the vast majority of people had retreated to their own houses, and only a few remained on the city walls.
Late at night, the sound of horses' hooves suddenly came outside.
Wanyan Lou Room was awakened, and immediately he ordered the Jurchens around the city wall to get through.
Someone had already lit a torch, and they saw countless Jurchen cavalry coming towards here below!
The Jurchens are all bare-headed and have money braids, which is absolutely unforgeable evidence! The Han people pay attention to the "parents of the body's hair and skin", and will never shave their heads like this! In the Qing Dynasty in later generations, the Jurchens forced the Han people to shave their hair, but the Han people were unwilling to agree, so the Jurchens had to use the cruel method of "keeping their hair without their heads, and keeping their heads without hair" to force the Han people to shave their hair.
Seeing that it was the Jurchen cavalry, Wan Yan Lou Room breathed a sigh of relief, and he immediately asked people to open the city gate, and many Jurchen cavalry rushed into the city at that moment.
A captain came up from below, soaked from the rain, and his clothes were muddy.
At this moment, he hurriedly wiped his face, and then walked towards Wanyan Lou's room.
"The last general will see the general!" This is a long way.
"You're in Zhendingfu, and you got my orders so quickly?" Wan Yan Lou said in surprise.
He just issued an order yesterday to let the 30,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses of Zhending Mansion come to Zhongshan Mansion, but it has only been more than a day, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses of Zhending Mansion have actually come to Zhongshan Mansion, which is a little too fast!
This commander is the Jurchen guard general stationed in Zhending Mansion, and he said at the moment: "General, the Han people have too many soldiers and horses, and they are heading towards Zhending Mansion, we know that we can't hold Zhending Mansion, so we are coming here!" Halfway through, we met your messenger! It can be seen that the hero sees the same thing, and you also ordered us to come back. ”
There was a smug smile on Captain Wan's face, and Wan Yan Lou was annoyed.
He gave an order to let the 30,000 Jurchen army of Zhending Mansion go to Zhongshan Mansion, which was a strategic consideration, but the 30,000 Jurchen army of Zhending Mansion actually took the initiative to abandon Zhending Mansion, which is a sign of cowardice! After staying in the Central Plains for six years, under the corruption of wealth and nobility, the Jurchen army is not only far inferior in physical fitness, but also far inferior in courage! If it was when the Jurchens had just risen, even if they knew that the number of enemies was several times that of themselves, the Jurchens would never break and flee, but would rush forward to fight the enemy in a decisive battle!
However, Wan Yan Lou didn't have a seizure, he just waved his hand, and the captain finally retreated.
"Our Jurchen army has indeed been worse than in the past few years, it seems that we must withdraw from the Central Plains and return to Liaodong! When I return to Liaodong, I will train the army harshly so that our Jurchen army will become strong again! Wan Yan Lou said secretly.
By the time of September 25, Wanyan Lou's room had not yet received news of Wanyan Zongwang, and in the afternoon of this day, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again in the north of Zhongshan Mansion!
Wan Yan Lou was standing on the city wall, and he hurriedly looked to the north, this time his face changed drastically.
Countless cavalry appeared in the north, but this time it was no longer the Jurchen cavalry, but the Han cavalry! The number of Han cavalry was at least forty or fifty thousand!
These Han cavalry first occupied the northern strongholds, and then some cavalry galloped south outside Zhongshan Mansion, and the laughter of the Han cavalry could be heard constantly.
Wan Yan Jing also hurried to the city wall at this moment, he ran to Wan Yan Lou's side, and said, "Master, how can there be so many Han cavalry here?" Could it be the cavalry under Quduan in Hedong? ”
Wanyan Lou Room shook his head and said, "No, Qu Duan doesn't have so many cavalry!" ”
Wan Yanjing said in surprise: "Where did the Han cavalry come from?" ”
Wan Yan Lou said: "It may be the Han cavalry who entered Yanyun and Shandong Road!" It's just why did these Han cavalry appear here? The second prince led the army to rescue the danger of Dezhou and Qizhou, and so many Han cavalry should also stop the second prince! Or, they will take advantage of the situation to attack the river, but why are they here? ”
Wan Yanjing said: "No matter what, we can't let the Han people show off their might in front of us!" We must destroy this Han cavalry! ”
Wan Yan Lou nodded and said, "Not bad!" They have all come to the outside of Zhongshan Mansion, and soon Quduan's army will also come outside Zhongshan Mansion! The second prince doesn't know what the situation is? Now Zhongshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion are already extremely dangerous! We can no longer be patient, we must destroy these Han cavalry as soon as possible, so as not to encounter the danger of siege in the future! But we still can't attack hard, they have to be stationed until the evening, and if there is a chance, we will go to the night attack! ”
Wanyan Jing was overjoyed and said, "Yes, let's attack them at night!" If we had attacked at night, they would have been able to defeat them if they had not been on guard! ”
Say:
I haven't passed the second subject. (I didn't pass the exam in the morning, I looked for a relationship in the afternoon, and I took the exam again, but I still didn't pass, and I declined.) Now subject 2 is so difficult. )
Back to normal tomorrow.
