Chapter 1033: Infighting Breaks Out
If a long war is unfavorable, there will be internal troubles, this famous saying has an effect no matter which army it is used in, and the same is true for the Jin soldiers, Wan Yan Xian has also attacked the famous city for a long time, and has suffered heavy casualties, which has caused strong dissatisfaction among the tribes, including the Jurchen tribe.
Wan Yan Xian also suffered from internal and external worries, and finally died of illness under the Daimyo Castle.
With the death of Wan Yan Xian, the contradictions within the Jin soldiers also began to intensify, and the contradictions between Wan Yan Zongfu and Wan Yan Yan's mother have become public, and whether to evacuate Hebei or not was originally the root cause of the contradiction between the two, but now the struggle for the dominance of the army has become a new contradiction between the two.
Wanyan Yan's mother has deep qualifications and high status, and has won the support of Wanyan Xianye's faction and the Bohai, Goryeo and other tribes, and the important thing is that Wanyan Yan's mother is not Wanyan Xianye's faction, he is sent by the wolf lord of the Jin State to replace Wanyan Xianye, and when Wanyan Xianye died, Wanyan Yanyan's mother naturally thought that she should take over the power.
What's more, he also got the support of the two major tribes of Bohai and Goryeo, but the reason why these two tribes really supported Wanyan Yanmu was the plan proposed by Wanyan Yanmu's 'take away their own spoils', which was to comprehensively loot Hebei and then retreat north.
And Wanyan Zongfu is the deputy marshal appointed by Wanyan Xianye, the main general of the attack, the second person in the army, and belongs to the lineage of Wanyan Xianye, Wanyan Zongfu faithfully implemented Wanyan Xianye's last order, immediately abandoned Hebei and withdrew to Yanshan Mansion.
However, this plan was resisted by most people, including Wanyan Xianye's own tribe, who also strongly demanded compensation for the booty.
However, Wanyan Zongfu was not completely isolated, in addition to the support of his own tribe's army, he also received the support of the Khitan and Xi people.
In this campaign to attack the Daimyo's Mansion, the Khitan and Xi people suffered heavy casualties, and the 25,000 Khitan and Xi people now have less than 10,000 people left.
In the big tent of the Chinese army, Wanyan Zongfu glared angrily: "The 250,000 troops of the Song army have begun to cross the Yellow River, and the Song army in Hedong is also eyeing Hebei. ”
Wanyan Yan's mother also said angrily: "You know a fart, the wolf lord has made a clear promise to the Bohai Department and Goryeo, this time they will send troops to let them plunder slaves and wealth in Hebei, and the Bohai Department and the Goryeo Department are willing to send 20,000 troops each to follow us south, and now you lose Hebei and go back, do you ask them if they do it?" You have made the wolf lord untrustworthy, do you want this covenant anymore? ”
Wanyan Yan's mother threw the secret decree of Wanyan Sheng, the wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom, in front of him, "This is the will of the wolf lord, see for yourself!" ”
Wanyan Zongfu ignored the will of the ground, he gritted his teeth and said: "Marshal Du repeatedly told me before he died of illness that he wanted us to withdraw our troops, this is Marshal Du's last order, do you dare to disobey?" ”
Wanyan Yan's mother said coldly: "Marshal Du's death is really strange, I asked the military doctor and the soldiers, they all said that Marshal Du has no problem holding out for a month or two, but when you enter the big tent, Marshal Du will die, it is really suspicious, I will report this matter to the wolf lord truthfully!" ”
Wanyan Zongfu was furious, "You mean I killed Marshal Du?" ”
"It's hard to say, you are bent on seizing the military power of the marshal of the capital, and it is difficult to guarantee that you have no murderous intentions."
Wanyan Zongfu was mad, pulled out his sword and slashed at Wanyan Yan's mother, and the two generals hurriedly hugged him, "Deputy marshal, don't!" ”
Wanyan Yan's mother was also furious, pulled out her sword and shouted: "I have also killed tigers and fought bears, will I be afraid of you?" ”
"Let go of me, I'm going to kill this bastard!"
The generals on both sides desperately grabbed the two of them, pushed Wanyan Zongfu out of the big tent, Wanyan Zongfu turned over and ran towards his military camp, and met the Khitan general Yelufeng and the Xi general Xiao Jianshi on the way.
After seeing Yan Zongfu's face full of anger, Yelufeng asked, "Deputy Marshal, what's wrong?" ”
"I'll retreat north now, will you come with me, or will you stay?"
Yelufeng sighed, "Brothers, their hearts are like arrows, where do you want to stay, I am willing to follow the deputy marshal to return north." ”
"What about the Xi people?" Wanyan Zongfu asked Xiao Jianshi again.
Xiao Jianshi hugged his fists and said: "I have made up my mind!" ”
"Good! Immediately pack up the war horse and go north, without delaying for a moment. ”
The three of them turned their horses and returned to the camp respectively, and in less than half an hour, Wanyan Zongfu led 10,000 troops from his headquarters, as well as 9,000 troops from the Khitan and Xi people, to leave the camp and quickly go north. ”
The news quickly reached the ears of Wan Yan Yan's mother, and Wan Yan Yan's mother sneered, "I'm afraid that if he doesn't leave, he will blatantly violate the wolf's will, go back and let him explain to the wolf master!" ”
After squeezing out Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Yanmu became the de facto commander, he took out the golden wolf head order and slapped it on the table, and shouted: "Order the commanders of all departments to come to the big tent of the Chinese army to listen to the order." ”
This was a long-awaited moment for the Jurchen tribes and the Bohai, Goryeo and other tribes, and when Yan Yan's mother ordered the people and property of Hebei to go north, there was jubilation in the Jin soldiers' camp.
In the evening of the same day, the various units of the Jin soldiers went out to other county towns in the Daimyo Mansion except for the Daimyo City, as well as Enzhou, Bozhou, Mingzhou, Guide and other places, and began to loot people and property on a large scale, set fire to the city, and the entire southeast of Hebei fell into a miserable storm.
..........
Gao Qingyi has been completely marginalized, he led an army of 50,000 to the south of the Daimyofu, originally wanted to seize the Daimyofu to become his new capital, but the development of the situation was completely beyond his expectations, the Jin soldiers went south to occupy their military rations and military camps, and forced them to continue to attack the city, the strength of the Ji army was only 20,000 people, forced 50 people to live in a big tent, and the food was also extremely bad, not only coarse food, but also half starved and half full.
As for the military sparring, there is no need to think about it, Gao Qingyi has been owing three months of military squad, and originally promised to capture the famous city and make up for it, but now the famous city cannot be captured, and Gao Qingyi will no longer mention the matter of the military smelting, and he will not even have perfunctory thoughts, which makes everyone's hearts full of despair.
The Ji army was disheartened and demoralized, and if it weren't for the close monitoring of the Jin soldiers, they would have fled on a large scale.
The Jurchens and the armies of the Balhae and Goryeo tribes went out to plunder their property and slaves, but the Ji army was ordered to continue the siege of the Daimyo.
At the same time, there were 5,000 Jin soldiers left, whose task was to guard the army grain camp and monitor the Ji army.
In a big tent, dozens of generals of the Ji army gathered together to drink, and they were excited, scolding the Jin soldiers for treating them as animals.
"I thought that Jin Bing would really hand over Hebei to us, but now it seems to be wishful thinking, it's too stupid to think about it, how can Jin Bing hand it over to us with such a big piece of fat!"
"Phew! I still want to rule Hebei, dream! Now they don't even give them a salary. ”
"No, it won't!"
Several generals were frightened, "They know that the Jin soldiers will give them the arrears, that's one or two hundred!" ”
The general lowered his voice and said, "Haven't you seen it yet? Jin Bing wants to rob Hebei and then return to the nest, will the money they grab will be given to us? Dream on! If we end up being scapegoated and they go back to their lair, what should we do? Will Song Jun let us go? ”
The generals were extremely frightened after thinking about it, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became, and they all made a fuss, "Go to the prince, they must give us an explanation." ”
Dozens of generals ran to surround Gao Qingyi's big tent with the strength of wine, and the general who provoked everyone's fear was called Zhu Neng, and he immediately sent someone to secretly report the situation to the city, and the army was about to mutiny.
Yan Qing stood at the head of the city at this time, silently looking at the military camp a few miles away, of course he knew that the Jin soldiers had gone separately to loot the prefectures and counties, as a person from the Daimyo Mansion, he was angry about it in his heart, but as a soldier, he must focus on the overall situation, he can't lose the Daimyo City because of his anger, not to mention, there are nearly a million people in the Daimyo City who have gathered after the implementation of the strong wall and clearing the wilderness, and he must also ensure the safety of these million people.
However, Yan Qing had already received authorization from Du Shuai two days ago, allowing him to attack at any time, giving him the autonomy to attack, and to some extent, Yan Qing had completed his mission to contain Jin Bing.
At this time, a soldier rushed over, knelt down on one knee and reported, "Qi Yu Dutong, Zhu Neng has sent someone." ”
"Bring him to me!"
After a while, a soldier was brought up, bowed down and said: "General Yan, dozens of generals went to Gao Qingyi to ask for an explanation, Gao Qingyi stabilized the general on one side, but on the other side sent to inform the Jin soldiers to come to suppress it, and the mutiny of the Ji army was about to break out." ”
Of course, Yan Qing knew that Gao Qingyi's army was already in a state of extreme and would break out at any time, and it was not surprising that Zhu Neng asked him to surrender, so he asked, "What signal will there be if there is a mutiny?" ”
"My general said that if there was a mutiny, he would lead the army to set fire to the Chinese army tent of Gao Qingyi."
Yan Qing nodded, turned around and looked in the direction of the Ji army's big tent.
