Chapter 387: Evacuation of Taiyuan

The continuous autumn rain has been falling for more than ten days.

It was dark, and Taiyuan City was quiet at the moment.

Since the Song army occupied Datong, Yanmen, Ningwu and other places, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou led a large army to try to conquer Yanmen and other places, but they failed repeatedly. After that, Qu Duan led an army of 150,000 from Longmen into Hedong and conquered Puzhou, Pingyang and other places.

After several wars, the current Taiyuan city has been very dilapidated, but there are still many magnificent houses and courtyards in it.

Wanyan Zongwang lived in the house of a rich Han man, of course, this rich Han man had already been killed by him, and the wife and concubine of the rich Han man had also been occupied by him, and the property already belonged to him.

He was asleep when there was a loud knock on the door, and in addition to the knocking on the door, there was also the sound of shouting.

"Who?" Wanyan Zongwang was awakened and shouted with some displeasure.

"Second prince, it's me! I have something important to report! The people outside shouted hurriedly.

"It turned out to be Hu Liyan, come in quickly!" After hearing this voice, Wanyan Zongwang was stunned for a moment and said.

It turned out that the outside was the Jurchen general Wanyan Lou room, nicknamed Wanyan Liyan.

When Wanyan Zongwang was asleep, ordinary people didn't dare to disturb him at all, and only Wanyan Lou dared to slap his door so rudely and shout loudly. He is very familiar with Wanyan Zongwang, so he doesn't have to worry about a lot, of course, if it is not a particularly important matter, he will not be like this.

After Yan Lou pushed the door and walked in, his whole body was already wet, and his face was pale at the moment, looking very embarrassed.

"What happened?" Wanyan Zongwang was stunned for a moment and said.

"Second prince, something is wrong, I just got the news that the Song army in southern Jin suddenly went north, and they have conquered Jiexiu! Now they are marching towards Taigu, if they defeat Taigu, the next step is Taiyuan City! Wan Yan Lou said.

"What?" Wanyan Zongwang stood up all of a sudden, and said in disbelief.

The Song army in southern Jin arrived in May, and it has been almost three months now, and they have not gone north! Who knows, now at this time, they are starting to go north!

"The number of Song troops in southern Jin has reached 150,000, if we go south to fight them, even if we can defeat them, the casualties will be extremely heavy! Moreover, I have one more message for Your Highness. Wan Yan Lou took a deep breath and said.

"Speak quickly!" Wanyan Zongwang felt bad and said.

"The Song army of Datong, Yanmen Pass, and Ningwu Pass has gone south!" Wan Yan Lou said.

"Ahh Wanyan Zongwang stayed there.

"They have conquered Yuanping, Xinzhou and other places, and they are not far from Taiyuan City! They also have an extremely large number of troops, numbering close to 200,000 men! Wan Yan Lou said.

"There are so many people in the Northern Song Army?" Wanyan Zongwang was incredulous.

Wan Yan Lou nodded his head.

In fact, the number of Song troops who went south from Datong and Yanmen Pass was only 100,000, and the remaining 100,000 were young people from the Production and Construction Corps, but the news was urgent, and it was difficult for the Jurchens to distinguish between the real and the fake for a while!

"Your Highness, we need to leave Hedong! I can't stay here anymore! Wan Yan Lou said.

Wanyan Zongwang put on his clothes and walked quickly to the outside of the house, it was still pouring heavy rain outside, but Wanyan Zongwang felt a mess in his heart!

"We were going to enter Hebei, and now we have to speed up! The news we got was that the Song army had entered the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and entered Shandong and other places! However, there are still 300,000 troops of Liu Yu in Hebei and Shandong, and after we enter Hebei, we can be connected with these 300,000 troops, and when our strength is close to 500,000, we still have a vast land! At that time, we can still compete with Song Jun! If it really doesn't work, we can also go north and enter the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and occupy the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun again! Although we can't occupy the Central Plains, our territory is not much different from the former Liao State! We are still the largest country in the world, and we will slowly clean up the Han people in the future! Wan Yan Lou said.

"I was going to stay in Hedong for a while longer, waiting for the army on the grassland to arrive, but now it seems that I can't wait for them!" Wanyan Zongwang grabbed the pillar next to him, and kept exerting force, his nails were stuck in the pillar, and he gritted his teeth.

"Yes! No one expected that the Song army would actually enter the grassland and defeat Wan Yanchang and the fourth prince! Wanyanchang and the fourth prince don't know when they will come to Datong and Yanmen! Wan Yan Lou also sighed.

"The situation is so urgent, we have to leave Hedong immediately! The order went down, and the army immediately prepared and went out of the city overnight! Don't tell the sons and daughters about our evacuation from Hedong first, and tell them halfway through. Wanyan Zongwang was silent for a long time, and said suddenly.

"Good!" Wan Yan Lou nodded his head.

Now, if the news of the evacuation of Hedong is told to those soldiers, I am afraid that the soldiers will be in chaos and it will be difficult to organize, and they can only tell those soldiers after leaving Taiyuan City.

"Your Highness, we have robbed countless things in Hedong and stored them in Taiyuan City, what should we do with these things? Also, many of our family members are in Taiyuan City, what should I do? Wan Yan Lou said.

"Don't want those possessions! Especially some gold and silver treasures, which are useless! As for the family...... Stay in Taiyuan City! Prince Ben's family is also here! Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said.

Over the years, the Jurchens fought in the Hedong and Guanshan areas, and many of their families came here from Liaodong. There are also some Jurchens who rob Han women, occupy those Han women, and let these Han women give birth to them, and those are also their families! Wanyan Zongwang himself has dozens of wives and concubines here, as well as four young children here, but now that Wanyan Zongwang has made up his mind to leave, he feels that these family members are all dragged down by the march, so he wants to let them stay here.

"Second prince, do you really want to give up your family?" Wan Yan Lou said.

"We have to evacuate Hedong, there is a Han army chasing behind, if we take these family members, there is only a dead end! So, they must be left there! Moreover, we have to cross Taihang into Hebei, and the road in Taihang Mountain is extremely difficult, and these family members can't stand those sufferings at all. Wanyan Zong said.

"Good!" Wan Yan Lou nodded.

******

Soon, there was a noisy sound in the entire Taiyuan City.

Countless Jurchens were awakened, dressed in clothes, armor, and armed with weapons, and headed out of the city.

The Jurchens fought all year round, and emergency gatherings like this were common.

In particular, Wanyan Zongwang's army was now the most elite of the Jurchens, and their gathering speed was much faster than that of the Jurchen armies elsewhere.

"Go and tell the garrisons in Taigu, Qixian and other places, and let them evacuate Hedong immediately!" Wanyan Zong said.

"The last general has commanded." Wan Yan Lou said.

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, he also put on his armor, and left Taiyuan City first.

The armies left Taiyuan City one after another.

Wanyan Zongwang rode on a horse, stood outside Taiyuan City, looked at Taiyuan City, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

Six years ago, he led his troops into the Central Plains, when the situation was like a bamboo, invincible, invincible, and the Han people were vulnerable, the strongest seed army in the Song army was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Jurchen iron cavalry, as for the Song army's forbidden army was fleeing after hearing the wind, and the 800,000 forbidden army in Bianliang did not play any role. At that time, every Jurchen person felt that the world belonged to them, and the Han people were destined to accept their enslavement.

Who knew that only six years have passed, and the Han people have undergone earth-shaking changes, and the Han people's military strength has increased greatly, defeating them several times in Guanshan.

At this moment, their Jurchens were forced to withdraw from Hedong!

Wanyan Zongwang's face was sad, he gritted his teeth, whipped the horse's buttocks, and the war horse led him to gallop towards the east, followed by countless cavalry.

More than 100,000 cavalry galloped to the east, and along the way they kept encountering other Jurchen cavalry!

It turned out that the other Jurchen cavalry had also been notified and were also heading east.

"What happened? How did we have so many armies heading to the East? "It was already dark, the rain had not stopped, and the Jurchens were covered with mud.

Some Jurchens are already talking in private.

"I don't know, there is no Song Army in the East, we shouldn't go to the East?"

"Have you heard, Jiexiu has been conquered by the Song army, and now the Song army is heading towards Taigu!"

"I heard that Harahei has also been conquered!"

The Jurchens were talking.

At this time, Wanyan Lou's room came here.

"General, what's going on? Why should we go east? ”

"yes? Are there enemies in the East? ”

"All silent! Listen to me! We're leaving Hedong now! Let's cross Taihang and go to Hebei! Wan Yan Lou said loudly.

"What? Leaving Hedong? Our family is still in Taiyuan City! ”

"Yes! Several of my concubines are there, and I have a child who is just two years old! ”

"No, I'm going back immediately!"

Suddenly, the Jurchen soldiers began to boil!

Their relatives and dependents are all in Taiyuan City, how can they leave there like this?

"Stop! If anyone turns around, I will kill him!" Wan Yan Lou said coldly.

"But, General, what about our families?" Someone asked.

"What to do? Of course, let them stay in Taiyuan City! We are now being persecuted from both sides, and we have to temporarily withdraw from Hedong, if we take those family members with us, the Song army will catch up with us sooner or later! So, only let them stay! You have been fighting against the Song army for so many years, don't you know the Song people? They are cowardly by nature, and they dare not kill even the children of the enemy's family! So don't worry about our family in danger! The general's family is also in Taiyuan City, and the second prince's family is also in Taiyuan City, we are not worried about our families, what are you afraid of? Wan Yan Lou Room shouted loudly.

"This ......"

The surrounding Jurchen soldiers were stunned!

"Go ahead, and we'll be back in the future!" At that time, our family members are still living well in the world, rest assured, the Song people are cowardly and will never touch our family members! Wan Yan Lou kept saying.

The mood of the army finally calmed down, and they continued eastward, and Wanyan Lou Room breathed a sigh of relief.

Wan Yan Lou continued to go back, constantly saying the news, and constantly comforting the soldiers.
