Chapter 156: Intelligence

Zhao Chen came to Nanzheng on the first day of November, and after arriving here, he prepared a place for Zhiyue to eat and live, not to mention it!

By the fifteenth of November, Zhao Chen had received accurate news, and the Jurchens began to gather in the north!

By the time of November 25, Zhao Chen got the news that the second prince of the Jurchens, Wanyan Zongwang, had come to Puzhou Mansion in Hedong!

This Wanyan Zongwang has a much higher status than the Wanyan Zongfu who was killed by Yue Fei! Wanyan Agu beat many sons, and the best of them was the eldest son, but the eldest son died in battle when he conquered Liao! Wanyan Zongwang, as the second prince, is actually the current leader of the princes! Wanyan Zongwang also followed Wanyan Agu to fight in the army, and until now he has also made great achievements!

Among the Jurchens, the first one in battle is Wanyan Zonghan, and the second is Wanyan Zongwang!

The Jurchens invaded Kaifeng twice, each time Wanyan Zonghan served as the marshal of one line of soldiers and horses, and Wanyan Zongwang served as the marshal of the other road!

Originally, after the city of Kaifeng was broken, Wanyan Zongwang had returned to the capital of the Jurchens in April last year, Shangjing Huining Mansion! Now that he has traveled thousands of miles to Hedong, it seems that he is going to personally command a big battle!

"How many soldiers and horses have the Jurchens gathered now?" Zhao Chen called Wang Shu, Yue Fei, Kang An and others over and said.

"Your Majesty, there are already 100,000 troops in the Hedong area! Of these 100,000 troops, 50,000 are Jurchen warriors, and 50,000 are warriors of various ethnic groups, as the new annexed army! Wang Shu said.

The composition of the Jurchen army is divided into three aspects, one is the pure Jurchen warriors, but the number is smaller, and the second is the army composed of warriors of other races, called the new annex army! The number of new annexed armies is several times that of the pure Jurchen army, but its combat power is far inferior to that of the Jurchen warriors! In addition to these, there are slave armies! The Jurchen slave army was numerous, but most of the slave army was engaged in some coolies, and they had almost no weapons in their hands, and even if they went to the battlefield, they were used as cannon fodder!

"100,000 troops, that's a lot! When they attacked Kaifeng, it was only 200,000 troops! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, they are still gathering troops! I think they will eventually be able to raise more than 150,000 troops! The Military Aircraft Department got the information, and it seems that Wanyan Lou's room also went to Hedong! It is very likely that Wanyan Lou will also follow Wanyan Zongwang to the south! Wang Shu said.

"If Wanyan Lou's room goes south, it will be beneficial for us to counterattack Shaanxi!" Zhao Chen said.

Wanyan Lou is the victorious general of the Jurchens, and now he is in Chang'an! If Zhao Chen wants to counterattack Shaanxi, he must not let go of Chang'an! Without Yan Lou's room, the strength of the Jurchens will inevitably drop greatly!

"In addition, the Military Aircraft Department also got information that the fourth Jurchen prince Wanyan Zongbi also gathered more than 20,000 Jurchen troops in Hebei, but they don't seem to be all the way with Wanyan Zongwang!" Wang Shu said.

"Very well, keep an eye on them for me! Also, let Li Gang transport all the grain, grass and baggage to Dasanguan, inform Zhao Zhe and Liu Qi, and let them all prepare for war! When Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Zongbi and others go south, we will also go out of the Great Scattered Pass to duel with the Jurchens! Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty, do you really have the confidence to defeat them?" Wang Shu was still a little skeptical.

"Nature is confident! After half a year of training for the forbidden army and the imperial camp, I believe that they are completely different from before and can defeat the Jurchens! Zhao Chen said.

Wang Shu frowned, feeling that Zhao Chen was a little "conceited"! In his opinion, although this soldier trained with infantry drill is powerful, he is afraid that there is still a certain gap compared to the Jurchens!

*** ***

At this moment, in the distant Puzhou Mansion in Hedong, the original prefect's yamen has now become the palace of the second prince of the Jurchens!

Hedong is much colder than Hanzhong, but Wanyan Zongwang is standing on the steps at the moment and letting the cold wind blow, he even bare his chest, only to see black chest hair exposed in front of everyone, he closed his eyes and enjoyed the cold wind!

"The winter in Changbai Mountain is much colder than here! Here, you can hardly experience the taste of winter! After a long time, Wanyan Zongwang laughed and laughed.

"Second prince, the place where the Han people live is extremely warm, naturally it can't be compared with Changbai Mountain!" Behind him stood a tall and thin Jurchen, who was Wanyan Lou Room!

"Only in the snow and ice can true warriors grow! Han Chinese, who live in such a place, are of course cowardly and incompetent! The Khitans are in their north, so they are stronger than the Han, and we are in the north of the Khitans, so we are stronger than the Khitans! Wanyan Zong said.

For his fallacy, the Jurchens behind him nodded one after another, thinking it was true!

Among them, there was a Jurchen with a bearded face and a long scar on his face, looking terrifying and gloomy, it was the Wanyan Yinshu who went out with Wanyan Zongfu that day!

After Wanyan Zongfu died, Wanyan Yinshu was naturally punished! Now Wanyan Yinshu is no longer a captain, but a mere commander! However, if he can make military achievements, according to the rules of the Jurchens, he can be promoted to the rank of captain!

"Second prince, we have gathered more than 100,000 troops, and now we can go south at any time!" Wan Yan Lou said.

"Yes, this time our goal is still Kaifeng! Last year, we withdrew from Kaifeng, but we didn't expect that King Kang of the Han people would soon occupy Kaifeng again! Our Jurchens have a vast territory, and we don't care about this little bit of territory, anyway, the things and population in it have been robbed by us! This time, I will knock it down again, and then go all the way south, conquer the entire Jiangnan, and destroy the small court of King Kang! Wanyan Zong said.

"Second prince, I heard that the current Kaifeng prefect Zong Ze is quite resourceful! And Zong Ze is known as the number one master in the north, with strong martial arts, we can't underestimate him! Wan Yan Lou said.

"Han people, except for a very small number of people, the rest are insignificant! Even if Zong Ze is powerful, but the Han army is too weak, it is not our opponent! Wanyan Zong said.

"Second prince, do you think the little Han emperor in Hanzhong will take the opportunity to attack us north?" Wan Yan Lou asked again.

"Definitely not!" Wanyan Zong said.

"The second prince is so sure?" Wan Yan Lou said.

"Haha, the little emperor of the Han people is only twelve years old, a stinky child, what is there to worry about? Moreover, half a year ago, he was still in power, although the little emperor killed the emperor, but he still left more than 100,000 troops, do you think the little emperor was able to subdue the more than 100,000 troops? If he dared to go north, wouldn't he be afraid that the more than 100,000 troops would take the opportunity to cause chaos? Wanyan Zong said.

"The second prince is right!" Wan Yan Lou nodded and said.

"Moreover, how many troops are there under the little emperor's command, even if all of them come out to attack us, they are not our opponents! Our Jurchens are invincible in the world, and we only need to leave 10,000 or 20,000 people to defeat more than 100,000 Han Chinese troops! So, don't worry at all! Hu Liyan, you also led 20,000 troops to the south with me to conquer Kaifeng! Wanyan Zong said.

"The last general commands!" Wan Yan Lou said.

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Wanyan Yinshuke, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes! His younger brother died at the hands of the Han rebels, and Wanyan Yinshu was on the side at that time! The third prince of Jurchen is dead, but this silver technique is alive and well, which makes Wanyan Zongwang extremely angry! Originally, when he was in Huining Mansion, Wanyan Zongwang suggested that the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu begging to kill Wanyan Yinshu, but Wanyan Wu begging did not agree, but only downgraded Wanyan Yinshu by one level! At this time, he only listened to Yan Zongwang and said coldly: "Yinshuke, you go to Chang'an!" ”

Wanyan Yinshu was stunned there, and after a while, he said, "Second prince, why did you let me go to Chang'an?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang sneered: "Hu Liyan followed me south, there is only one living girl in Guanshan, he is young, I am afraid that it will be difficult to take on the big responsibility!" You go to Chang'an to assist Wanyan Living Girl! ”

Wanyan Yinshu opened his mouth and wanted to refuse, but he knew that even if he refused, it would be useless! He can guess Yan Zongwang's thoughts, this time he will go south to fight, he will definitely be able to conquer the entire Central Plains, Lianghuai, and all regions in the south of the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, all those who participate in the war have made outstanding achievements, and he can't participate in the war after completing Yan Yinshu, so naturally he has no merit! Wanyan Zongwang didn't want him to make meritorious contributions, and he didn't want him to be promoted!

In the end, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and say, "The last general will take the order!" ”

"Let the army prepare at once! Within ten days, I will go south to Kaifeng! Wanyan Zongwang shouted loudly.

The generals next to him, including Wanyan Lou's room, nodded their heads one after another!

*** ***

In the Hebei area, the famous Golden Vulture in later generations has also gathered an army of 20,000 at this moment!

Han Chang accompanies Jin Wushu!

Jin Wushu looked at Nanfang, and his eyes were full of excitement!

"We're going south again! This time, my vultures will make a world-class feat, more than a few brothers! "Golden Vulture Dao.

"Fourth prince, we suffered a big loss in the Hanzhong Dasanguan area last year, I think we should take revenge!" Han Chang said.

"Confused! What do you know? There are large scattered passes and monks in Hanzhong, and it is very difficult to get in! Even if we lay down the Dasanguan and the Monk Yuan, if the Han people retreat to Shuchuan, what will we do? So we still have to focus on Jiangnan now, first eliminate the Han people in Jiangnan, and then deal with the Han people in Hanzhong! "Golden Vulture Dao.

Han Chang thought for a while, and finally nodded!

"We've been recuperating for more than a year, and we're finally ready to do it again! Our Jurchen knives can be unsheathed again! This time, we will completely wipe out the Han people, so that the Han people will truly destroy the country and extinct the species! Jin Wushu laughed.

Although Han Chang is also Han, he doesn't have the slightest aversion to this sentence! He is different from ordinary Han people, he is a Han who grew up in the Khitan, and later his father took refuge in the Jurchens, and he also took refuge in the Jurchens! There is no concept of race at all in his heart, and he now even treats himself as a Jurchen, proud of the Jurchens!

"Your Highness, are we going to meet His Royal Highness the Second Crown Prince of Hedong? Just like last year, the two sides attacked Kaifeng Mansion? Han Chang said.

"Of course not! There are only some forbidden troops in Kaifeng Prefecture, so what is there to fight? I want to do this, bypassing Henan, going down from the southeast of Henan, all the way forward, not stopping or conquering the state capital, all the way to Hangzhou! Without waiting for the second brother to take Henan, I have already captured the Han emperor alive, what do you think of such a strategy? "Golden Vulture Dao.

"Wonderful, really wonderful!" Han Chang praised again and again.

This Jin Wushu was one of the most famous and outstanding Jurchen generals in later generations, and after Wanyan Aguta, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and others withdrew one after another, he almost became the first Jurchen general! His vision and his strategy are naturally not trivial!

"When the second brother goes south, he will attract the attention of all the Han people there, and that is when I go south! I only need 20,000 light horses to fight all the way to Hangzhou! After eliminating the Han emperor in Jiangnan, let's gather the strength of the world to break through the Dasan Pass, occupy Hanzhong, and eliminate another Han emperor! The Golden Vulture laughed.
