Chapter 394: Soldiers Coming to Texas
At that moment, Li Yanxian began to report the situation of Yanyun and the Central Plains!
He started from the beginning of May when the forbidden army, the northern Shaanxi forbidden army, and the Huanqing army entered Yanyun, and until later Qu Duan, Zhao Zhe and others also led the army into the Central Plains, and now three or four months have passed.
"Your Majesty, General Wu, Lord Wang, now General Yue Fei led 40,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Juyong Pass, more than half a month ago, the fourth prince of Jurchen, Wanyan Wushu, also led 100,000 soldiers and horses to invade the south, trying to break through Juyong Pass, but Juyong Pass was strong, and they finally retreated! General Liu Qi led more than 30,000 soldiers and horses to garrison Shanhaiguan, a few days ago, there was also a faint trace of the enemy outside Shanhaiguan, it seems that it was the former Khitan resentment army, and then escaped! We have 150,000 people in the forbidden army in northern Shaanxi to enter the 16 states of Yanyun, but there are 50,000 people who need to be stationed in all parts of the 16 states of Yanyun, and only 100,000 people enter Cangzhou from Jizhou, so as to enter the Shandong Road, we and General Zhang Xian converge, and now there are 120,000 of our troops on the Shandong Road! Li Yanxian said.
"What is the situation of the Jurchens?" Zhao Chen said.
"The Jurchens entered Hebei from Hedong a few days ago, and we just got the news not long ago! We had already received orders from General Yue Fei before, and we had already guessed that they were coming, and we had already laid an ambush, just waiting for them to arrive. Li Yanxian said.
"Oh?" Zhao Chen was slightly stunned.
"These days, our Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army has been violently attacking Liu Yu, and more than 100,000 troops under Liu Yu are trapped in Dezhou and Qizhou, especially Qizhou, Liu Yu himself is there, we are besieging Qizhou but not attacking, just waiting for Yan Zongwang to come to the rescue." Li Yanxian said.
"It's a ploy to encircle the point and send reinforcements." Zhao Chen smiled slightly and said.
"Reinforcements? Your Majesty's statement is very appropriate! Wu Jue said.
"Originally, we were worried that the troops were a little insufficient, but now that General Wu has arrived, we have 100,000 forbidden troops in northern Shaanxi, and there are more than 100,000 Jingyuan troops in southern Hebei, plus General Wu Jie's soldiers and horses, we really don't have much problem eliminating women!" Li Yanxian said.
"General Li, bring all your latest information, we have to analyze it carefully." Wu Jue said.
Wu Jue was very excited at the moment, he didn't expect that he could participate in the battle with the Jurchens just after coming to Yanyun and the Central Plains! This is his long-cherished wish, and he must do it well.
At that moment, Li Yanxian nodded and began to speak carefully, and everyone was there to discuss, not to mention it.
After a while, the soldiers of the Yangtze River Navy outside got the news that they could go out, and there were bursts of cheers from the army! They had entered Jiangnan from Sichuan and Shu before, but in Jiangnan, they did not encounter resistance at all! They have been training for many years, but they have no place in Jiangnan! After dealing with those Dongting Lake rebels, the Dongting rebels are also vulnerable! Now that they have finally encountered a strong enemy, there is no one in the army to fear or fear, only excitement and anticipation!

In the middle of the night of September 8, Wanyan Zongwang could not sleep in Hejian Province, and he was waiting for news from the soldiers.
After knowing that Liu Yu's army was trapped in Dezhou, Qizhou and other places two days ago, he immediately asked the soldiers to investigate, and now those soldiers have not returned.
The night was getting deeper and deeper, and Wanyan Zongwang yawned, it seemed that the Jurchen soldiers would not come back tonight, and he was about to go to rest.
However, at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.
Wanyan Zongwang immediately opened the door, only to see several Jurchen soldiers hurrying towards here.
"You're back? Let's talk quickly, what is Liu Yu's situation now? What is the situation in Texas, Qizhou and other places? Wanyan Zongwang hurriedly said.
It turned out that these people were the Jurchen soldiers he sent to investigate the situation in Texas, Qizhou and other places.
The Jurchen soldiers hurriedly knelt down before they began to report.
"Second prince, there are 40,000 soldiers and horses led by General Li Cheng, a subordinate of Liu Yu, to garrison Dezhou! There are 20,000 Song cavalry outside Texas! General Li Cheng is now hiding in the city of Texas and does not dare to come out! In addition, there are also 10,000 garrisons in the area of Yucheng east of Dezhou, more than 100,000 troops in Qizhou, and 50,000 or 60,000 Song soldiers outside the city! A Jurchen soldier said.
"Oh? There are 40,000 soldiers and horses of Liu Yu in the city of Dezhou, and there are only 20,000 Song troops outside, so they don't dare to kill them? Wanyan Zongwang said coldly.
"Yes." Jurchen soldiers said.
"There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses in Qizhou, and there are only 50,000 or 60,000 Song troops outside, and they don't dare to come out?" Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said.
"Yes! The Song army was extremely strong, and although Liu Yu had many soldiers and horses, he was not their opponent. The Jurchen soldier said.
"Liu Yu, this waste! Han people are all rubbish! Wan Yan Zongwang said disdainfully.
"Second prince, do we still want to save Liu Yu?" A captain next to him said.
"Of course you have to save him! Although the Han people are waste, we still have to rely on these wastes if we want to gain a foothold in the Central Plains! Even if we want to kill back to the north, we will have to rely on this waste to open the way! There's a lot of waste, and if we can get them back, we'll be much stronger! Liu Yu has been operating in Hebei and Shandong for many years, and he also has a certain prestige, and it is impossible for his hundreds of thousands of troops to be killed by the Song army, many of which are just scattered, and when he comes to Hejian, we can still use his name to gather those routs. Wanyan Zong said.
"That's what the second prince said." Captain Wan nodded and said.
"Gather the army at once, and we'll set off overnight!" Wanyan Zong said.
"How many soldiers are we going to call?" Wanfu said.
"We have an army of 90,000 in the river, and we will leave 10,000 to guard the river, and the rest of the army will follow me eastward! The number of Song troops is also quite large, there are 20,000 Song troops outside Dezhou City, and there are 50,000 or 60,000 Song troops outside Qizhou City. Wanyan Zong said.
At that moment, the captain agreed, and he had already hurried out of here, heading outside.
Soon, the sound of the Jurchen army gathering came from Hejian City.
An hour later, the 80,000 Jurchen army gathered, and Wanyan Zongwang led the 80,000 army towards the east overnight.
******
The Jurchen army galloped on horseback, and everywhere they passed, they saw a mess.
Countless villages and towns have been turned into ruins, dry bones can be seen on the road from time to time, and occasionally Han people appear in their field of vision, only to see that these Han people are skinny and scary, and their eyes are full of terror! Sometimes passing by the village of the Han people, you can also see the phenomenon of eating with a child!
These are the masterpieces of the Jurchens for six years!
Wanyan Zongwang was originally anxious, but when he kept seeing such a scene all the way, his mood gradually calmed down!
For everything in front of him, Wanyan Zongwang did not have the slightest regret, he only had a deep sense of achievement!
Not only him, but all the Jurchens had a sense of accomplishment.
More than ten years ago, the Jurchens rose to prominence, and they fought in the east and west, and no one was invincible.
The Khitans were not their opponents, and the Han were not their opponents.
Wherever they passed, the Han Chinese either died or succumbed.
For the Jurchens, this is all a former feat!
However, from Guanshan to Hedong, they continued to suffer defeats, and they had to withdraw from Hedong and come to Hebei.
After arriving in Hebei, they learned that the situation in Hebei was also extremely bad, the Song army had completely occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Song army had occupied the first city of Hebei and Shandong, the Song army had occupied most of Shandong, and now Liu Yu's remaining army of more than 100,000 troops was also surrounded by the Song army.
For the Jurchens, this is an unprecedented setback!
The Jurchens felt a great shame!
What was once unstoppable has now become a dead end, and these Jurchen soldiers are unbearable.
"Look at the land of Hebei in front of you! Once when we went south, the Han people were vulnerable, and the world said, 'The Jurchen is invincible'! Everywhere we went, prosperity turned into desolation, the living became dead, and the women of the Khitan and Han people either let us be humiliated or died! These are our achievements! We are invincible! Although we are facing a difficult situation for the time being, I still believe that we are invincible! I will change everything now, I will rescue Liu Yu, Li Cheng and others, I will take Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion as the center, and once again lay thousands of miles of rivers and mountains for the Dajin Kingdom! The world still belongs to us, and now it's just a small setback! Sons, go forward bravely, and strive again for the future of our Dajin country, just like more than ten years ago! Wanyan Zongwang was riding on a horse, the night wind was blowing, his mood was agitated, and he howled at the moment.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the Jurchens behind him, and let out a sound that seemed to be like a wolf's howl!
This is the cry that the Jurchens used to make a majestic voice when they used to hunt outside the wilderness! Now that they shouted such a voice here, all the Jurchens felt their blood boiling, and they pulled out the scimitars at their waists one after another, shouting loudly and waving them constantly to express their feelings!
Since they came to the Central Plains, they have been corrupted by wealth, and the entire army has degenerated terribly! But at this moment, at the juncture of the crisis of the Jurchen nation, they tried their best to let their blood burn. They want to change the current situation and want to regain a foothold in the Central Plains.
"We still have a chance! After uniting Liu Yu's forces, we will first go north to get the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and then go south to get the entire Central Plains! I will never be willing to fail, I will lead my sons and daughters to fight bravely and win again! I will always believe that we Jurchens are better than the Han people, and we can bully and enslave the Han people! Wanyan Zongwang said secretly.
The sky was already getting brighter, and the Jurchen army was still galloping.
At this moment, the Jurchen army was distributed in the surrounding territory for more than ten miles, and although their ranks were scattered, they showed an indescribable pattern. If needed, their armies can be assembled at once, outflanked, and interspersed!
By the afternoon of 10 September, they had come to a place more than 30 miles west of Texas.
Here they came across the reconnaissance soldiers of the Song army.
It's just that the Jurchen army has just rushed up, and these reconnaissance soldiers of the Song army have already dodged far away.
Gradually, there were more and more reconnaissance soldiers of the Song army.
"Your Highness, there are more than 10,000 soldiers in the Song army resting in a small town in front, and 10,000 soldiers are north of Texas!" A thousand-legged commander galloped over, said.
"Very good, send 30,000 troops forward, surround the 10,000 Song troops in front, and be sure to annihilate them all! Send another 30,000 people to the north, surround the 10,000 Song troops in the north, and annihilate them all! The remaining 20,000 people followed me, keeping an eye on the battlefield at all times, and once the Song army wanted to escape, then immediately pursue it, and never let the Song army escape! Wanyan Zongwang said coldly.
The commander nodded, and was about to deliver the order, when Wanyan Zongwang stopped him suddenly.
"Tell the sons and daughters that if we Jurchens want to change their predicament and restore their former glory, the only way for everyone to forge ahead and everyone to move forward! Starting with me, no one should be afraid of death! Let's all fight a bloody battle, first take these 20,000 Song troops as a test stone, first annihilate these 20,000 Song troops, and then completely annihilate 50,000 or 60,000 Song troops outside Qizhou, and then other Song troops! From now on, we Jurchens can no longer have the slightest failure, and any failure will lead to the complete decline of our Jurchens! Tell the sons and daughters, I want to plead with them to move forward bravely for the sake of the Dajin Kingdom and the Jurchens! Wanyan Zongwang said sincerely word by word.
There was a look of emotion in the commander's eyes.
After a while, the entire Jurchen army once again roared like a wolf's howl.
The Jurchen army soon divided into three parts, one part headed straight ahead, one part headed north, and Wanyan Zongwang led the remaining 20,000 troops to the south and east. He wanted to surround the city of Dezhou, and he must not let the 20,000 Song troops leave here.
Say:
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, and I went to give gifts to the leaders in the evening. . . I came back and hurriedly wrote, and only wrote one chapter. Tomorrow there will be three watches.
