Chapter 466: Jinzhou
Jinzhou is a real big city in the Northeast!
Two hundred years ago, Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji "built Jinzhou with 400,000 Han prisoners"! Yelu Abaoji hopes that Jinzhou City can flourish and become the pearl of Liao by the sea, so it is named after "Jin"! This is the Liaoyang barrier, if you want to attack Liaoyang, you must first conquer Jinzhou!
In later generations, the city of Jinzhou was also an important city, after the liberation it once served as the capital of Liaoxi Province, until the revoked of Liaoxi Province, it became an ordinary prefecture-level city.
The walls were extremely high and strong, and there were more than 10,000 defenders in the city.
The night was already dark, and many Jurchens were sleeping soundly at the city gates.
But when the shouts rang out below, there was a great chaos at the city gates! Soon, dozens of Jurchen soldiers appeared above the city gates.
"Who is it?" The Jurchen soldiers above shouted loudly.
"We are here on the orders of Marshal Yan Zonghan! There are important military orders! The Navy soldier below responded.
The naval soldiers are all carrying torches, and from above, you can see that they are all "Jurchens", and they are all bare with bare heads and braids! The costumes on their bodies are also Jurchen costumes!
After seeing this, the Jurchen soldiers above finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Still haven't opened the gates?" A Navy soldier shouted.
"It's dark at night, we need to identify you first!" The Jurchen soldier above said.
Not long after, two Jurchen soldiers were hanged from above, and after they came to Wu Jue, they knelt down.
Wu Jue took out his Wanfu token, and the two Jurchen soldiers carefully identified it and nodded one after another.
"It turned out to be Master Wanfu, let's let them open the city gates!" A Jurchen soldier said.
In fact, the Jurchens on the city gate did not suspect the identity of Wu Jue and the others below from the beginning! On the one hand, Wu Jue and others are all dressed as Jurchens, and neither Han nor Khitan people will deliberately shave their heads! The Han people pay attention to "the body is skinned, and the parents who receive it dare not destroy it", and the Khitan people have been assimilated by the Han Confucian culture for more than 200 years, and the Khitan people will not self-destruct their bodies and skin! The Jurchens have been fighting for almost twenty years, and they have never seen Han and Khitan people pretending to be Jurchens! On the other hand, this Jinzhou is located on the border of Liaodong, and they have not heard of any Han invasion at all, so they do not have the slightest vigilance! The Tianjin Wei 50,000 navy attacked the granary south of Liaoyang, and then went all the way south to attack Yaozhou, and then came here, but their speed was too fast, and the speed of the Jurchens' communication soldiers was far inferior to them, and now the news has not yet reached Jinzhou City!
The city gate was wide open, and Wu Jue only entered Jinzhou City with only a few hundred personal soldiers.
"General, it's getting late, you follow us to the Jinzhou Mansion first, and we'll report to General Yan." A centurion guarding the gates.
"I'm here after the order of Marshal Yan Zonghandu! The military situation is unusually urgent, and you can't enter the city! Let Wan Yan Xu come to see me now! Wu Jue said coldly.
His voice was hoarse, and the Jurchen words were not very good, but at this moment, those Jurchen soldiers did not notice the abnormality.
"But, so late?" The centurion said hesitantly.
"Dashuai is in Yaozhou now! Let him come out at once! If the commander's military order is delayed, he will not be able to cut off a hundred heads! Wu Jue's face showed an expression of "anger" and said.
"Okay, let's go and inform General Wanyan! General, I don't know what your name is? Centurion said.
"Su Shi Lie Zhining!" Wu Jue said.
At that moment, the centurion had already hurriedly informed the guard of Jinzhou City, Wan Yan Xu, and Wu Jue came to the city wall of Jinzhou City with a few personal soldiers at this moment.
It was dark, and he was looking into the distance! There were quite a few Jurchen soldiers around him, but there was not the slightest hint of timidity on his face, and he looked normal.
Wu Jue is thinking about what to do later, to make sure that there will be no mistakes! His appearance is indeed somewhat similar to that of Lie Zhining, he shaved his hair, repaired his beard, and was disguised before he came, and on the surface, he is already eight points similar to Lie Zhining! Moreover, according to the investigation information of the Intelligence Department, the guard of Jinzhou City has been here for more than six years, while Sushi Lie Zhining has been staying in Huining Mansion and came to Liaoyang Mansion a few days ago! All the information shows that the guards here have not been to Liaoyang Mansion in the past few months, and they are only staying in Jinzhou City!
"I really don't know what I look like when I'm dressed as a Jurchen?" Thinking of this question, Wu Jue's face couldn't help but show a smile.
Although it was in the Longtan Tiger's Den, he didn't take this Longtan Tiger's Den in his eyes at all! He looked down on the Jurchens from the bottom of his heart! This nation does not have its own culture, does not have its own system, they will only plunder, only destroy, they have even lost the fighting spirit of the rising era, lost the heroism and discipline of the past, this nation is not worth mentioning at all! Wherever the Great Song army went, they had no choice but to surrender but to destroy, and there would be no third way!
"It's ridiculous, the Jurchens don't retreat into the deep mountains and old forests in the north, and they still think about invading the south! They're so impatient! We didn't go north, it's because we can't take care of you for the time being, it's not that we don't have the power to destroy you! But from the moment the navy crossed the sea, your mother's demise was already doomed! The whole country's million-strong army will soon enter the grasslands and Liaodong and wipe you out! Wu Jue said secretly.
At this moment, there was the sound of footsteps in the distance, and I saw a Jurchen general with a group of soldiers coming here.
This Jurchen general is the guard of Jinzhou City, Wan Yan Xu!
******
"Which one is Lord Fushi Lie Zhining?" Wan Yan Xu was about forty years old, his body was very strong, but he was a little low, he walked up to the city wall and laughed.
"It's me!" Wu Jue turned his head with a hint of arrogance on his face, and said.
"Why don't you enter the city? I have already instructed my subordinates to prepare food and drinks for my lord, so come with me! Wan Yanxu still smiled.
He knew that this "Sushi Lie Zhining" was Wanyan Zonghan's cronies, and he was deeply trusted by Wanyan Zonghan, so it would be easy to be promoted and make a fortune in the future! And he has been in Jinzhou City for six years, although he is also a captain, but he belongs to the commander of the partial army who has no connections and has a relatively low status, and he is not enough to compare with "Sushi Lie Zhining"! He has already made up his mind, this time he must curry favor with Sushi Lie Zhining, and then establish a relationship with Wanyan Zonghan through Sushi Lie Zhining, and strive to be promoted and make a fortune! The Jurchens were originally a bold northern people, but unfortunately they fell too quickly, and Wan Yan Xu and the once simple Jurchens are already too different! Historically, when the Jurchens first rose, they were indeed invincible in the world, but when the Jin Wushu invaded the south, their combat power was already very different from before, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jue, Liu Qi and others were able to defeat the Jurchens, if it were not for Zhao Gou and Qin Hui bent on seeking peace, the possibility of the Song army going north to subdue the Central Plains and welcoming back the two emperors was very likely!
"I'm here on military orders! The marshal is now in Yaozhou City, and the enemy army is now near Jinzhou, so let's go out and destroy the enemy army immediately! Wu Jue said lightly.
"Enemy troops?" Wan Yan Xu was stunned for a moment and said, "What enemy troops are here?" ”
"General Wanyan, you probably don't know what happened recently, right? The sailors of the Han people crossed the sea to fight, and they went north from the Liao River and burned all the granaries south of Liaoyang Mansion! When they passed by Yaozhou, they also annihilated all the Yaozhou sailors! Lord Wanyan Zonghan led tens of thousands of cavalry south, but unfortunately he couldn't catch up! I went to Jinzhou City on the orders of my lord's army, and encountered swamps along the way, and my soldiers and horses even had to walk forward! However, we finally found traces of the Han Chinese! It's just that there are a lot of Han people, and we are afraid that the Han people will escape, so we came to you! Wu Jue said in a hoarse voice, coughing constantly, and looking overtired.
"What? Is there such a thing? Wan Yan Xu stayed there all of a sudden.
"This is the military order of the marshal, let me act cheaply, all the military horses in Liaodong can be transferred at will!" Wu Jue took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wan Yan Xudao.
The Jurchens still used the Khitan script in this era, and Wan Yanxu couldn't understand the Khitan script, but he saw that the format of this "military order" was exactly the same as the military order he received in the past, and he didn't have any doubts in his heart at the moment, so he hurriedly nodded and said: "Since it is the military order of the marshal, I will mobilize the soldiers and horses to exterminate the Han people!" General, how many Han Chinese are there? Wan Yan Xu said.
"There are seven or eight thousand Han people, just off the coast of Jinzhou, I think they are going to attack Jinzhou! Luckily, I found out! Wu Jue said.
"Ahh The Han people are good at intrigue and trickery, but I didn't expect them to target my Jinzhou City! What a damn one! Wan Yan Xu said.
"Gather your troops quickly!" Wu Jue said.
Wan Yan Xu nodded, and at that moment he beckoned, and the two thousand commanders came to him, he commanded a few words, and the two thousand commanders left in a hurry.
"My lord, it will take time to mobilize soldiers and horses, you go to my mansion first, I have prepared a feast for my lord, and a few stunning women for my lord to enjoy." Wan Yan Xu smiled lewdly.
"Humph! What time is it, the military situation is urgent, where can I enjoy it? Wu Jue said coldly.
"My lord attaches great importance to military intelligence, and I admire it below! Admire! Wan Yan Xu said.
"After the Han people are eliminated, I will come back, and it will not be too late to enjoy it at that time." Wu Jue's voice turned soft and said.
"Good! I'll let them prepare more, and they will definitely entertain the adults! Wan Yan Xu was overjoyed and said.
Wu Jue nodded.
"My lord, there is a string of eastern pearls here, which I got a few days ago! However, I don't like these gold and silver jewelry the most in my next life, so I just gave them to adults. After Yan Xu thought about it, he suddenly took out a large string of pearls from his arms, and then put his hands in front of Wu Jue! There was inevitably a hint of pain in his eyes!
Dongzhu is precious, even in Liaodong! There are a total of twenty-four of these eastern pearls, each of which is like a pigeon's egg, worth a thousand gold! However, in order to curry favor with "Sushi Lie Zhining", Wan Yanxu still took it out.
"Excellent! When I see Marshal Du, I will report your merits to the marshal!" It was already dark, and countless soldiers in Jinzhou City said that they would wait until dawn to exterminate the Han people, but the general said that you should not make a mistake with the fighters, and take the initiative to lead the troops to fight! During the battle, you also took the lead and fought bravely, and on several occasions you were almost killed by the Han Chinese, but you finally defeated the Han with your unyielding tenacity! You have a great credit, and Marshal Du will look at you differently! Wu Jue said.
"Ahh Thank you, thank you, thank you! Wan Yan Xu was ecstatic in his heart and said.
"Hurry up and gather the army! If the Han people escape, then I can't speak! Wu Jue said.
"Good! Your Excellency is here for a while, and I will personally urge those lowly soldiers! Wan Yan Xu said.
Wu Jue nodded, and then Yan Xu left the city wall with a smile on his face, ran down, and personally went to gather the army, not to mention.
Two quarters of an hour later, the 10,000 defenders of Jinzhou City had gathered and headed outside! However, it is said that there are 10,000 defenders, but in fact there are only more than 8,000 people! Wu Jue only knew at this time that the Jurchens had also learned to eat empty salaries, and they couldn't cry or laugh at the moment!
