Chapter 456: The Wind Rises (37)
"Yinshu is dead" Wanyan Zonghan sat in the big tent of the Chinese army, holding his knees with both hands. There was a blankness on his face, and his indifferent and deep gaze slowly swept over the Jurchen nobles in the tent, muttering softly as if talking to himself.
The Jurchen nobles in the military tent looked at each other and then lowered their heads slightly, not daring to look at their commanders.
They all knew how much Yan Zonghan attached great importance to silversmithing. Now that Yinshu can be defeated and killed, even if he just stands here, he can feel the cold chill emanating from Yan Zonghan's body!
first lost his eldest son, and then his confidant was defeated and died. At this time, Wanyan Zonghan's face was haggard, and his temples were already faintly white. Even the wrinkles on his face have inadvertently increased.
Compared with the time when he surrounded and annihilated the Seed Master on the Killing Bear Ridge more than a month ago, the heroic feeling of being high-spirited and swallowing the world at that time had long since disappeared. In its place, there was a deep sadness that could not be concealed.
The turning point in life came so quickly. Wanyan Zonghan, who was at the top of his life, was drunk by Gao Yang, and was swept off the clouds with a heavy blow and returned to the ground!
"Dashuai." Compared with ordinary Jurchens, he was thinner and weaker, but taller, with a faint bookish aura on his body, and stepped forward and broke the strange atmosphere in the military tent with a loud voice.
Wanyan Lou said loudly, "Sheye Ma and Yinshu were both killed in battle, and they did not insult their prestige. We entered Yingzhou City and slaughtered everyone to avenge them. The handsome should not be so depressed. ”
"Poof!" There was a crisp sound, and the burning oil lamp exploded. Ignite a brilliant spark. The flickering firelight illuminated Wan Yan Zonghan's gloomy face. Wanyan Zonghan ignored him.
It was already nighttime. Tens of thousands of Jin troops meandered out of a long queue, not only the army, but also a large number of accompanying troops.
Even if the Jin army is all cavalry. There was no shortage of livestock, and at this time, only a small half of them came to camp outside Yingzhou City. More sergeants are still to come.
Wanyan Zonghan didn't say a word, silent. Stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on the table in front of him, and the dull sound of tapping on the table seemed to be like the beat of the heart, which made the hearts of the Jurchen nobles in the military tent gradually shrink.
"Smack." After Yan Zonghan snapped his fingers, he raised his head slightly, and his sharp eyes swept over the generals in the tent. Finally, he paused on a sturdy Jurchen general standing near the end.
"The nest is not separated." Wanyan Zonghan shouted softly. The voice was not loud, but it made the Jurchen general called Wo Bu Leave tremble, and hurriedly ran out. Fall to your knees.
"Before sending you over with a striker, what did a certain family tell you? Well? Wanyan Zonghan looked at the Jurchen general kneeling below and asked in a low voice. The voice was not loud, but it carried a heavy pressure that was indescribable!
The general's face turned pale in an instant. Beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down. The body was also uncontrollable, and trembled slightly.
"I'm guilty! Damn it! The nest slammed his head on the ground. There was a dull thud. His body remained motionless and he shouted loudly.
"A certain family has warned you that after arriving near Yingzhou, you should circle around the four fields and patrol the deterrent. It is absolutely not allowed to step forward to capture the city, this is a military order, and it must not be violated! Is someone wrong? Wanyan Zonghan turned a blind eye to the blood flowing from his head and continued to say in a soft voice.
"Yes! I'm confused! I disobeyed the commander's military orders. I'm sorry for the handsome! Please also punish the marshal! Wo Buli took the initiative to plead guilty and shouted loudly. There is no point in quibbling at this time. On the contrary, it will make people look down on themselves.
"You're wrong." Wanyan Zonghan shook his head, his eyes showed a touch of pity, and he said softly, "You are not sorry for a certain family, you are sorry for those two hundred and nineteen sons!" ”
The nest that had already been out suddenly stiffened, clenched his fists tightly, and knelt on the ground without saying a word.
Wanyan Zonghan stood up and looked at the nest that was kneeling on the ground. There was a flash of pity in his eyes. He said softly: "In the first year of the country, we followed the old emperor to attack the ancient city of Lu. You took the lead, rushed into the army of Liaogou, and broke through the formation! Even the old emperor praised you for your bravery and invincibility! ”
The Jurchen nobles in the military tent were very strange when they heard Yan Zonghan suddenly mention those past achievements. However, they didn't think much of it, and they all looked proud. That period was the most glorious moment for their Jurchens!
In the military tent, only Wan Yan Lou's face changed drastically, and he looked at Wan Yan Zonghan deadly! He heard Yan Zonghan's words. He, he wants to kill someone!
Wanyan Zonghan felt his gaze, but didn't pay attention to him. Slowly walked to the front of Wo Bu and said in a soft tone, "In the seventh year of Tianfu, Yelu Dashi attacked Shenzhou. It was you who led your troops to arrive first, and you blocked the death attack of the Liao dogs. Persisted until the arrival of our army and defeated the last elite of Liaogou in one fell swoop. He also captured Jerodashi. ”
Speaking of this, Wanyan Zonghan's gaze softened more and more, and he said softly, "You are the hero of our Jurchens." ”
The Jurchen nobles in the military tent were all reminded of the pride of the past, and the atmosphere immediately surged. Wo Buli raised his head suddenly, looked at Wanyan Zonghan in front of him, and shouted loudly, "Dashuai, I will go to attack the city myself at dawn!" I must be the first to climb the city wall of Yingzhou! If I can't, I'll die there! ”
"Well done!"
"The nest is not separated, we are really good men!"
"I'll go with you!"
"We Jurchens are invincible in the world, what is the little Yingzhou City!"
The Jurchen nobles in the big tent were all agitated by this brave atmosphere, and they all shouted loudly with excitement. Only Wan Yan Lou stood alone, his eyes full of unbearable meaning. Leaned sideways slightly, as if he didn't want to see what was next.
"I can't leave it." Wanyan Zonghan's voice became softer and softer, and he said, "You have two sons, right?" ”
"Huh?" is full of blood, and I can't wait to rush out at this moment to fight for a while, and I was stunned when asked. He didn't understand what Yan Zonghan was asking for this. However, when he looked at Wan Yan Zonghan, he felt the deep coldness in Wan Yan Zonghan's eyes!
"Yes, there are two of them." Wo Buli swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with some difficulty.
"Hmm." Wanyan Zonghan nodded and said, "In the future, a certain family will take care of them instead of you, and they will be raised as their own sons." In the future, they will definitely be trained to be heroes just like you. After a pause, he continued, "You can go in peace." ”
"Not only did they not leave, but all the Jurchen nobles in the big tent were stupidized by this big reversal. Everyone is like a chicken that has been choked by the throat, and they can't say a word!
What does Zonghan mean? He, he wants to kill the nest?!
The nest is inseparable, but it has made great contributions to our Jurchens! When did we Jurchens kill their own Meng'an!?
Everyone looked at Yan Zonghan deadly, they needed an answer! What's going on here?
"Do you know that military orders cannot be violated? You know. Wanyan Zonghan took a deep breath, and his tone suddenly turned heavy, "I know you still committed it!" ”
turned around and returned to the military platform, and swept the people in the tent with indifferent eyes. said in a cold voice: "A certain family didn't let you take the light cavalry to attack the city!" So many heroic sons have been lost in vain. It also boosted the morale of the enemy troops in the city! How many sons can we Jurchen give you such a waste for nothing! ”
"Whew~~~" breathed a deep sigh of relief, and then shouted, "If we all spoil the children like you, then we girls will have to kill the men in a short time!" What kind of war are you fighting! What else to attack Song! At that time, the old, weak, sick and disabled of our Jurchen clan will be able to return alive and press out the tiger water, which is God's blessing! ”
"Come!" Wanyan Zonghan shouted.
"In!" The guards outside the tent immediately rushed in and answered loudly.
Wanyan Zonghan turned around and said in a deep voice, "Drag it out, marching method." ”
The guards swarmed up, held the already stupid nest, and dragged him out. None of the Jurchen nobles in the military tent dared to speak out to persuade them.
When he was about to be dragged out of the military tent, Wo Buli came back to his soul, finally understood his situation at the moment, and began to struggle frantically.
He had rushed through the midst of all armies, and no one could stop him, and this struggle almost threw out all the guards. Fortunately, he didn't mean to resist, he just opened his blood-red eyes and shouted at Wanyan Zonghan, "Handsome!" Handsome! Let me go to the city! Let me go to the city! I'm going to die on the battlefield!! ”
The guards swarmed up again, grabbed the nest and dragged him out of the tent.
The mournful screams outside the tent continued: "I'm a hero!" I can only die on the battlefield! I'm going to die on the battlefield! Die on the battlefield!! ”
After a while, the mournful howl of the nest came to an abrupt end. The guards held a bloody fresh head into the account to return.
Wanyan Zonghan glanced at the dead nest and shook his head slightly. With a wave of his hand, he let the guards retreat.
"When are we now? Did You Know? Wanyan Zonghan looked at the Jurchen nobles in the tent with resentment on their faces, and asked out loud.
All of them don't speak. Just look at him.
Wanyan Zonghan sighed lightly and said, "The military rations we carry with the army are only enough to eat for seven days. ”
"Huh?!" The Jurchen nobles were all shocked, and immediately left the matter behind, and turned their heads to look at Wanyan Lou's room. He was in charge of the army's heavy logistics affairs.
Wanyan Lou Room nodded, and explained loudly, "Most of the grain and grass are left to Wanyan Xiyin under Taiyuan City. After all, the pressure on his side is even greater. We must do our best to take Yingzhou City and open up the supply line from Yunzhou to Taiyuan. Otherwise, we will either be starved to death, or we will flee back to Yunzhou in disgrace, and then we can only watch Yan Xiyin and them starve to death. (To be continued......)
