Chapter 503: Finish Yan Zongwang
The fight in the lobby stopped, but there were still some hairs fluttering in the air, some from the wildlings being dragged off, and some from the furs they were wearing.
Wanyan Aguda looked at more than a dozen generals with blue noses and swollen faces, and he was also angry, and shouted: "Pull Zong Han and Hu Lu out, and each of them will have thirty rods." ”
Wanyan Zonghan heard that he was going to beat him, and his face immediately distorted, although he did not inherit the state minister of his father Sagai, but he was also extremely fierce, the sixth person in the Jin country, and one of the six giants who had the right to decide the major affairs of the Jin country, so he was unwilling to let his uncle hit him on the head.
After hearing that Yan Agu was going to beat him in public, he immediately wanted to jump to scold his mother.
The hierarchy between the nobles and the slaves of the Jin Kingdom was very strict, but the nobles and nobles were very casual with each other, and the monarchs and ministers did not pay much attention to etiquette.
(When the Jin State invaded the Song Dynasty for the first time, Wanyan Zonghan was the left deputy marshal, and Wanyan Zongwang only led the Eastern Route Army as the capital commander.) After the end of the first invasion of the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang was promoted to the right deputy marshal for his merits. )
Wanyan Aguta formulated a unique system of Bo Ji Lie in the Jin State, with only five Bo Ji Lie at the beginning, and later added one.
The current six Bo Ji Jie are:
Wanyan Agu beats Du Bo Jilie (Emperor)
Wanyan Wu begged to buy for the real prince (the real prince)
Wanyan Gao (oblique) is Kulubo Jilie (Minister of State)
The end of the face is worthy of Amari Bo Jilie (the first deputy minister)
Wan Yanyu (Pu Jianu) is Hao Bo Jilie (second deputy minister)
Wanyan Zonghan (Sticky Han) is the third deputy phase of the transfer of the Emperor Bo Jilie (the third deputy phase)
Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Zonghan became friends, and after seeing that Yan Zonghan was going to be angry with Wanyan Agu, he hurriedly came out and said: "The emperor is angry, our army is about to start a division or a war with the Han people, and it may not be a good sign to injure the general." ”
Wanyan Zonggan also persuaded: "Dad, don't be angry, they are also joking, let's discuss the important matters first." ”
Wan Yan Gao and Wan Yan Yu also felt that it was too much to punish Bo Ji Fiercely in public, and they pleaded for mercy one after another.
Wanyan Agu looked at the state minister and the second deputy prime minister and spoke. I had no choice but to say: "Then discuss military affairs first, talk well, and whoever dares to howl again, get out." What were you going to say? ”
Wanyan Yulu is old after all, and he fought with Wanyan Zonghan who was in the prime of life for a while, still panting, taking a few big breaths, spewing out a few stinks in his mouth, and then said: "We just laid down Zhongjing Road." Many of the tribes did not surrender. If we don't hurry up and send troops back to suppress the rebellion in Zhongjing Province and let them unite with Xiao Gan, I'm afraid that the entire Zhongjing Province will be in chaos. ”
The eleventh brother of Ah Guta, Wanyan Yan's mother, said with a smile: "Xi people are not powerful, I will take a fierce soldier and horse back to suppress them." ”
Wan Yan Gao said: "There are many Xi people living in Zhongjing Road, and Xiao Gan wants to build a Xi country, I am afraid that it will attract Xi people to take refuge one after another, and the enemy should not be underestimated." Even the mockers who have taken refuge in us before must beware of them. ”
Wanyan nodded and said, "Zhongjing Road is unstable, and there are people in Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road who rebel from time to time. In the final analysis, there are too few Jurchens. If we have 50,000 Jurchen soldiers, it will be enough to sweep the world. ”
There are few Jurchens in the Jin Kingdom, and in order to replenish the troops, the Jin State also reorganized the Bohai Navy and the Xi Army.
Yan Zonghan rested for a while. The audience was talking useless, and said impatiently: "Then we will send three Meng'an back to suppress Zhongjing Dao, and the rest of the soldiers and horses will go to Fengshengzhou and capture the Han prince." Let the Han people send all their money. ”
Wanyan Aguda didn't say anything, turned his head and said, "Slanted, what do you think?" ”
Wan Yan Gao thought about it. Said: "Yelu Yanxi is still fleeing in the west, and a few days ago, he found Yelu Dashi fleeing west with thousands of Khitan soldiers. Yelu Yanxi is immortal, and he can entangle soldiers and horses to capture Xijing at any time. If we start a war with Liang again, I am afraid that we will suffer from the enemy. Moreover, the army has been on the expedition for almost a year, and if it is trapped in Saikyo Province, I am afraid that the situation in Tokyo and Shangjing will be even more unstable. ”
After hearing Yan Gao's words, all the savages also changed color, they almost brought out the tribesmen on this expedition, there are no old people in the tribe, and sixty-year-old savages can still shoot bows and arrows, of course, few savages are sixty years old. It can be said that after the founding of the Jin Kingdom, the savages who were over seventeen years old were all in the army. If other tribes raid their nests, then the cubs in their nests will be killed.
Wanyan Aguda also made up his mind, nodded and said, "Then sell Xijing to Liang Guo and let them deal with Yelu Yanxi." When our class teacher returned to China, he first chewed on Tokyo Road, Kamikyo Road, and Nakakyo Road to ensure that what he ate in his stomach would not churn. And you have also been given a great deal of the people, and you will go back and find more women and have more children. ”
When the savages heard the emperor say this, they all came into heat one by one, and some of them had already put their hands under their furs.
Wanyan Aguta knew how to control these savages, and immediately said: "Okay, everyone go back and prepare, tomorrow the troops will be collected, and no one will be allowed to march with the people." Vultures, you supervise all the armies, and those who violate the military orders will be beheaded. ”
In the past few days, many savages have robbed some women, and they originally wanted to take these women back, but after hearing Yan Agu's strict order, the two fools in Wushu had a fierce light in their eyes, and they had no choice but to leave these women. Anyway, they have a lot of people in Chukyo-do, Tokyo-do, and Kamikyo-do, and there is no shortage of women.
Seeing that everyone went out one after another, Wanyan Zong looked and said, "Do you want to send someone to chase the envoy of Liang State?" ”
Wanyan shook his head and said: "No, you send someone to Fengshengzhou, and say that we have agreed to the conditions proposed by Liang Guo, and I will invite him to go hunting in Yehuling, and both sides will bring a thousand guards." ”
Wanyan Zongbi (Wushu) said: "Dad is going to test the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom? ”
Wanyan shook his head and said, "No, a thousand people can't find out anything, and Prince Liang can always come up with a thousand elites." ”
Wushu said: "Then Dad will bring 10,000 people, let Prince Liang also bring 10,000 people, let's try their strength." ”
"We know how to hunt and not fight, what are we doing with 10,000 people? I just want to see if the prince of Daliang is really the same as the Han people say, he is a god descending to earth. ”
Wushu immediately reacted and said with a smile: "What kind of god, he must be pretending to be a ghost, but I'm afraid he won't dare to go." ”
"Hahaha"
Wanyan Agu laughed and said: "If he doesn't dare to go, then he is a god descending from heaven, what are we afraid of?" In this way, you will personally bring someone to invite the prince of Liang. ”
"Yes."
Wanyan Zongwang shouted. And he went out.
There are more than 400 miles from Datong Mansion to Fengshengzhou, and Wanyan Zongwang only brought two guards who could speak Chinese, one person and three horses, non-stop, and ran to Fengshengzhou before dark.
Fifteen miles away from the city, he was stopped by the Liang Tanma.
After seeing that Yan Zongwang and the three of them were not Khitans, the head of the ten masters shouted: "Who are you?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang didn't test these tanma, and let the guards who could speak Chinese behind him answer.
"This is the son of the emperor of Dajindu, and he came to see the prince of Daliang on the order of the emperor of our country."
The Captain of Ten heard that it was still a prince. Only then did he signal a cavalryman behind him to report back and let the others continue to patrol, and he took Wanyan Zongwang and the three of them to the camp.
There weren't many people stationed in the city's barracks, so Chao Yong had the army set up camp outside the city.
Tanma led Wanyan Zongwang and the three of them to the gate of the camp, and saw Shi Yong, the leader of the prince's own soldiers, at the door to greet them.
"See Captain Shi."
Although Shi Yong is a centurion, the rank officer is a captain, just like a thousand-commander in an ordinary army.
Shi Yongchong nodded to the Tenth Master, and then looked at Wanyan Sect and said, "The prince is invited, come with me." ”
Wanyan Zongwang followed Shi Yong into the barracks. Peeked at the soldiers and horses in the camp.
I saw that the soldiers and horses of the girder were brightly dressed and armored, the queue was neat, and they were all full of energy, and they were all about twenty years old.
Just look at the appearance of the army. The soldiers and horses of Daliang are much stronger than those of Liao and Jin, but the real combat effectiveness will not be known until they have been fought.
The soldiers and horses of the Liao State are also neater than those of the Jin State, but when they meet the Jin State, they lose more and win less.
The gathering of the Jin Nation savages can be said to be a mess, but once they charge. will follow the leader and charge through the enemy line like an arrow. The military system of the Jin State, the main general died in battle. All the soldiers were beheaded, and their homes were confiscated. Therefore, the pro-soldiers will desperately protect the leader, and the leader takes the lead, and the easiest to die is not the leader, but the leader's pro-soldiers. The leader can't die at once, he keeps rushing in front, and the savages behind him will always follow the charge, and the combat effectiveness is naturally not bad.
What if the leader dies? Will the wildlings run for their lives? No. In the military system of the Jin State, if the leader dies in battle, and his subordinates cannot defeat the enemy, they will all be beheaded. If you flee back, you will definitely die, and if you fight the battlefield, you will have a way to live, and the savages can only fight hard.
The military system of the Jin State is such that it does not give the savages a way to live, and the combat effectiveness is naturally strong.
The Liao State was able to formulate such a military system, but the Liao people could not implement it. The Han people could not formulate such a military system in any case, and if the generals died in battle for merit and were finally defeated, they would behead all the soldiers below, which was unreasonable. Soldiers are also human beings, and there is no reason why generals make mistakes, and soldiers will lose their lives.
But for the savages of the Jin Kingdom, this military order can be carried out very well, and the savages are more like beasts. But when the savages settled down and began to evolve like humans, they were no longer able to enforce such military discipline, so the Jin people who had no wild nature were defeated by the Mongols who still maintained their wild nature.
Unlike the chaotic Jin camp, the Liang army camp was neat and quiet, without a trace of noise.
"Please dismount the general and walk to the big tent of the Chinese army."
After Yan Zongwang peeked at it, a few people were no more than 100 zhang away from the big tent of the Chinese army, and no one dared to ride a horse here.
Wanyan Zongwang heard the escort's translation, so he also turned over and dismounted.
Shi Yong led the three of them to the Chinese army's tent.
Chao Yong didn't put on a score, he was the prince of Daliang, and Wanyan Zongwang was also the prince of the Jin Kingdom, and his status was not much lower than him, so when he heard that Shi Yong had come to the Chinese army's tent with the three of them, he got up and went out to greet him.
Wanyan Zongwang walked to the front of the big tent, saw Chao Yong wearing a four-clawed golden dragon, and knew that it was the prince of Daliang, and learned to talk a lot about the Han people with their fists.
Behind Chao Yong, someone who is proficient in Jurchen is doing the translation.
Chao Yong returned the salute while looking at Wanyan Zongwang, the right deputy marshal who led the troops to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty in history.
Wanyan Zongwang was in his thirties at this time, and he was as rugged as other Jin people, and he still had some scars on his forehead. This is not a scar left by the battlefield, but they cut it themselves.
Jurchen custom, after the death of relatives and friends, to cut the forehead with a knife, blood and tears together, called "sending blood and tears". The emperor is no exception, when the first kingdom minister changed his death, Wanyan Agu went to mourn, and he also had to cut his forehead with a knife. When the Jurchen nobles died. They also burned the slaves and maids and war horses that they loved before their lives to be buried. After the establishment of the Jin State, the war continued, the war horse was in short supply, and when the first transfer of the Emperor Bo Jilie (the third deputy minister) Wan Yan A died in a clutch, he took the initiative to sacrifice the war horse he was riding, and suggested that Wan Yan A Gu Ta forbid the burial of the war horse. Wanyan Aguda also ordered a ban on the use of war horses for burial, in recent years, no one has gradually used war horses for burial, but the custom of using slaves and maids for burial is still there.
Chao Yong invited Wanyan Zongwang into the big tent and sat down, and then asked.
After Yan Zongwang guarded, he said: "Our emperor has promised to return Xijing Road to your country, and our soldiers and horses will withdraw from Xijing tomorrow." The military expenses can be sent to Zhongjing Province later. ”
"Okay, within half a month, 100,000 yuan will be delivered."
Chao Yong didn't have much opinion on this, and Daliang sent troops to recover Xijing Road, which would also cost military expenses and cause casualties. And if it weren't for the Jin State to attack Xijing Road and make Nanjing Road the last territory of the Liao State, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan might not have given up Nanjing Road easily. If the two of them hold on to Nanjing, Daliang will have to pay a greater price if he wants to seize Nanjing Road.
Chao Yong's generals except Li Kui and Liu Tang were unwilling to give the 100,000 yuan. Everyone else also thinks that they should pay this 100,000 yuan.
Chao Yong was actually reluctant to pay this 100,000 yuan in his heart, because he knew the shame of Jingkang created by another time and space Jin Kingdom to the Han people, but it was not yet the time to destroy Jin.
The Jin army is very strong, and Yelu Yanxi is still on the run. It may be entangled at any time to counterattack, if Daliang and Jin Guo start a war, it is likely to be the result of both defeats, and then Yelu Yanxi will lead the grassland tribes of Shangjing Road to pounce. Maybe the Liao State will resurrect again.
Xu Guanzhong's suggestion to Chao Yong was also to carve up the Liao State with the Jin State first, and then lead the troops to pursue Yelu Yanxi and subdue the Xijing Dao departments.
Wanyan Zongwang heard that Chao Yong promised to send the military funds within half a month. I chattered again.
The official behind Chao Yong said: "The emperor of the Jin State asked the prince to go to Yehuling three days later to hunt and discuss the border between the two countries. He would bring a thousand guards, and beyond that, there would be no more gold soldiers for thirty miles. ”
The two countries share a border, and it is necessary to negotiate the national border, but it is common to send envoys to negotiate for a period of time. Chao Yong didn't expect Wanyan Aguda to have a hunt with him to discuss the matter.
Chao Yong didn't think about it, and said with a smile: "Okay, I will definitely go to Yehuling in person in three days." ”
Wanyan Zongwang was also overjoyed when he heard Chao Yong agree, and he got up to leave.
Chao Yong said with a smile: "I have asked people to prepare a banquet, if the second prince is not in a hurry to return, why not let me entertain him and go on the road tomorrow." ”
Wanyan Zongwang is just to make a appearance, more than four hundred miles, he can run over in one day, but at night, the war horse can't gallop with all his strength, even if he goes on the road overnight, he can't run back to Datong Mansion overnight.
Seeing Chao Yong's stay, he also got off the donkey and sat down.
After talking about the matter, Chao Yong also let people start to serve wine.
"Heroic wine?"
Wanyan Zongwang saw a few sergeants coming up holding the wine jar, so he couldn't help but say.
Haohan wine takes the high-end route, and the wine jar is also fired in the official kiln, which is not the same as the wine jar of ordinary wine, as long as you have seen and paid attention to it, you can generally recognize Haohan wine.
Li Kui, who was sitting opposite, heard Yan Zongwang actually say three Chinese characters, although the tone was a little weird, but everyone could understand it, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You, a native of Jinguo, have also drunk our Liangshan Haohan wine?" ”
Wanyan Zongwang's entourage was busy translating for Wanyan Zongwang.
After Yan Zongwang chattered for a while.
Everyone could only understand the three words of Haohan wine, and Li Kui was even more blushing, pointing to his entourage and saying, "What did he say?" ”
"It is said that Haohan wine is very strong, and as its name suggests, only Haohan can drink it. The men of our Jin country like to drink Haohan wine, but Haohan wine is too expensive and difficult to buy. He had only drunk it a few times. ”
Li Kui patted his chest, pointed at Wanyan Zongwang and said: "You're right, this wine can only be drunk by heroes, I'll compare with you for a while to see who can drink it." ”
Wanyan Zongwang listened to his entourage translate Li Kui's words, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's compare." ”
Haohan wine sells for 500 wen a pound in the Central Plains, and the cheapest price in the Jin country is always a pound. Of course, Wanyan Zongwang only drank it once in the Jin country, and then set out to fight, the good Han wine of the Liao State was sold as expensive, and it sold well, and the good Han wine transported to the Liao State was quickly drunk by the nobles of the Liao State. Although the people of Liao can no longer drink the taste of heroes, they use it to get drunk and dream of death, and forget the pain of losing the country. Only on a rare occasion could the Jin army capture a small amount of Haohan wine from the Liao nobles or merchants, and this small amount of Haohan wine became the hottest trophy.
Many savages don't want gold and silver, preferring to ask for Haohan wine, which can be drunk in their stomachs immediately, although gold and silver can also buy Haohan wine, but that is a matter for a later time.
For savages, nothing is as refreshing as drinking a sip of hot and spicy wine after a battle.
Wanyan Zongwang was strong and also addicted to alcohol, he didn't believe that Li Kui could drink him, so he immediately picked up the wine bowl and dried it in one gulp.
The hot feeling went from his throat to his stomach, and Wan Yan Zongwang almost groaned out of comfort.
As soon as Li Kui saw that Yan Zongwang was so crisp, he refused to lag behind, picked up a bowl of wine, and poured it into his mouth.
"Happy."
Li Kui wiped his mouth, alcohol was forbidden in the army on weekdays, and he hadn't eaten for many days, and he felt very happy when he went down this bowl.
"Dry"
"Dry"
The two of them even did three sea bowls, and they were a little shaky.
Chao Yong hurriedly said: "You are all heroes, it's not too late to eat something and drink." ”
Both of them also felt a little star-stricken, and when they heard Chao Yong speak, they couldn't wait to grab the meat on the table and stuff it into their mouths.
Everyone couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw the situation of the two, Li Kui was a rare rude person among the generals of the Great Liang, but the envoy sent by the Jin State was actually the same as Li Kui, and the others must be even more unbearable. (To be continued......)
