Chapter 133: Expected
When Wanyan Zonghan retreated, he sent three Liao generals who were originally subordinate to Yelu Yujian, and each led a road to the back of the horse, respectively called Gao Foliu, Pu Da, and Xie Jianu.
In the past, when he was in the Liao State, Yelu Yujian and Yelu Dashi were recognized as the two most outstanding military generals in their country, and the two were in charge of military power respectively, which can be regarded as the last two optimus pillars of the two countries. Because of this, Yelu Yujian's treason and defection to the enemy brought a fatal blow to the Liao State, thereby accelerating the demise of the Liao State.
Yelu Yu has been fighting for many years, and his subordinates have their own set of military generals, and there are ten core members, known as the "Ten Heroes", all of whom are fierce generals who are strong in martial arts and can fight in battle. Gao Foliu and the other three are among the more outstanding members. After serving the Jurchens, they returned to Wanyan Zonghan together with Yelu Yujian. Wanyan Zonghan just used a little trick, and soon easily dug up the "Ten Lords" from Yelu Yujian's subordinates and personally controlled them. The Ten Lords were indeed capable of excellence, and soon won the recognition of the Jurchens and the trust of Wanyan Zonghan.
This time, after Yan Zonghan asked them to be responsible, it could be regarded as a heavy responsibility. The three fierce generals each led 2,000 strong soldiers, and set up three ambushes in the area of dozens of miles from Taiyuan to Huanglong Valley, waiting for the army in Taiyuan City to attack and pursue.
As a result, Wanyan Zonghan, who had no last resort with soldiers, miscalculated this time, and the army in Taiyuan City did not directly follow them to pursue them. Gao Foliu and the other three generals waited for a day and a night, but they did not see the movement of the Tai soldiers. While they were beating the drums, they suddenly learned that there had been a heavy battle in the Huanglong Valley ahead - Wanyan Zonghan had been ambushed!
So, these three people hurried to Huanglong Valley and came to the rescue.
Chu Tianya personally led the six troops, and he had been waiting for them for a long time!
When Gao Foliu and other three generals led their troops to Huanglong Valley, they were first blocked by a sky-high fire, and only heard a deafening shouting of killing from the valley, but they didn't know what the truth was.
The three Liao generals were a little panicked at this time. They were supposed to set up an ambush to annihilate the Song soldiers, but they were cut off by the waist, and now they have not only cut off contact with most of Wanyan Zonghan's main force, but also like a flying kite, being choked by the enemy!
In desperation, Gao Foliu and other generals reluctantly extinguished the fire, and organized people and horses to climb the mountain on foot, hoping to cross this sea of fire.
At this moment, there was a loud shout of killing on the mountains on both sides, and the flying arrows poured down like rain, completely enveloping the three soldiers and horses of Gao Foliu!
The Taiyuan soldiers who had been in ambush for a long time couldn't hold back their blood when they saw the Taihang rebels in Huanglong Valley killing so lively. After waiting for a long time, I finally saw the golden soldiers fall into the ambush circle.
When the enemies see each other, they are very red!
The bitter hatred that had been piled up for more than 100 days burned like a fire in the hearts of the Taiyuan soldiers. After a round of arrow rain, the golden soldiers who fell a circle of corpses were almost stunned. At this time, the Taiyuan soldiers, whose eyes had already been burned red by the blood, were already like wild beasts that had fallen into madness, with a wild and arrogant roar in their throats, and the surging Chaojin soldiers were killed like a tiger descending from the mountain!
The flag in Chu Tianya's hand was raised in the air, and it was fixed.
The flag had barely been raised, and almost all the soldiers had already rushed out.
They are roaring, roaring, oblivious, murderous!
How deep of hatred must it be for this group of scrawny men who have long since collapsed to burst out with such terrifying power?
……
No matter how strong the Jurchens' combat effectiveness was, this time, they could not avoid the end of defeat. Six thousand Jurchen soldiers, facing the 20,000 Song soldiers who were extremely angry rushing down on the slopes of the mountains on both sides, they all felt a bone-chilling coldness in the depths of their souls, which made the war horses they stepped on couldn't help but shudder!
Several guards were strictly ordered by Wang Yu, and carefully stopped Chu Tianya and did not let him get involved in the battle formation, but just stood on the mountain to watch the battle.
At this time, it was already getting dark, and the battlefield below the mountain was already a little unrealistic. But you don't need to look at Chu Tianya to imagine that none of the six thousand Jurchens trapped here today can hope to escape. Even if there is no sword, these 20,000 Taiyuan soldiers who have fallen into madness because of anger can tear this group of Jurchens apart with their teeth alone, and then eat them alive!
The blood of Dragon City, which symbolizes generosity and blood, has been galloping and burning in the veins of every Taiyuan soldier. When faith and hatred are intertwined, it is inevitable that everyone's extraordinary potential will be stimulated, and it will be transformed into an amazing and trembling force, destroying the withering and invincible!
……
The Jurchens, who had always been known for their fierceness and bravery, felt fear and cowardice for the first time. Their skillful horsemanship and superb sword and archery skills seemed to be out of order at this time. The irrepressible panic and heartfelt fear made this group of invincible Jurchens defeat like a mountain!
Chu Tianya's eyebrows were clenched, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were full of murderous anger.
"Kill them all, not a single one!" When he couldn't help himself, he issued a military order that bordered on nonsense.
The starters around him waved their flags and sounded the clarion call for a general attack and a big killing!
The Taiyuan soldiers who fought under the mountain were even more encouraged, and the roar sounded like a stormy wave in the Huanglong Valley, and the Taihang Mountains, which had been lying on the Central Plains since ancient times, seemed to be making a trembling sound, and the gravel on the top of the mountain flew down, and the clouds ran away!
Guan Shan, Bai Xu and the others, who were more than ten miles away, couldn't help but marvel when they heard the movement on Chu Tianya's side, "Why is the movement over there so big?" Could it be that tens of thousands of troops in Taiyuan poured out of the nest and encountered most of the Jurchens? ”
"No, Allah's power is following Yan Zonghan to break through!"
"What's going on?"
"Quickly send the brothers to go around the mountain road to investigate!"
At this time, in the north of Taiyuan City, in the original Jurchen army station, there were hundreds of light horsemen holding torches and trotting back and forth. Soon after, these hundreds of horsemen rushed back to Taiyuan City.
Before Wang Yu's sickbed, there were a few more uninvited guests.
On the order of the imperial court, Xu Han, the commander of the royal division who came to "rescue" Taiyuan, sat in front of Wang Yu's couch with a pale face at the moment, and asked patiently: "Wang Dutong, this official will ask you one last time - where are Chu Tianya and your son Wang Xunren?" There are still nearly 20,000 Taiyuan guards, where did they go? ”
Wang Yu lay on the couch with his eyes closed, not moving or saying a word.
Xu Han suddenly got up and stroked his sleeves angrily: "If you don't say it, the official also knows!" - They led their troops to pursue the Jurchen army! The reason why this official asked you is because for the sake of the benevolence of the Son of Heaven and his colleagues, and he intends to rescue you. Since you refuse to say it, it is covering up and conniving, or you are deliberately instructing someone to come and take down the king! ”
"Enfu is angry!" Several generals such as Yao Gu and Yao Gu hurriedly came forward to persuade, "Wang Yu has meritorious service in protecting the city, and enjoys a high prestige in the hearts of the military and people in Taiyuan, ...... at this time."
"Shut up!" Xu Han was furious, "Wang Yu seized the army, resisted the decree, killed the court officials, and supported the army with the intention of rebellion." The imperial court has already made a decree to let the official take Wang Yu and his party back to Beijing and hand it over to the department to ask for a crime - do you dare to resist the decree and conspire with Wang Yu? ”
The middle of the seed master looked at each other in amazement, and they had to sigh and retreat.
At this time, Wang Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed, opened his eyes and suddenly burst out laughing.
On the contrary, Xu Han was startled, and said angrily: "Maniac, can you still laugh when you are dying?" ”
"Wang's loyal and righteous liver is worthy of the society of the country and the ancestors and gods, and he smiles with righteousness and generosity!" Wang Yu lifted the futon on his body, "I have long expected that there will be a day - stop talking nonsense, let's do it!" ”
Xu Han hit a hard nail hard, but instead took a deep breath and sighed, "Wang Dutong, I knew today, why bother in the first place?" …… Seeing that you are sick, this official will not embarrass you. You're here to recuperate! When you were young, you and the official also met the official's house face to face. The official family and the court will give you a reasonable public opinion. ”
"Listen to me." Wang Yu sneered and lay down again, and said, "The old man may die at any time when he runs out of oil and the lamp is dry, you have to serve the old man well." If you let the old man die for no reason, not only will it be difficult for you to explain after you return to the court, but you will also lose a credit and reward! ”
"You! …… I don't know how to lift! Xu Han's face turned white, and he stroked his sleeves and scolded angrily, "Crazy men can't talk together!" - All the generals will come out with me, and don't pay attention to him! ”
Xu Han took the generals and left Wang Yu's capital mansion angrily, and sent troops to surround the place. The large and small defenses in Taiyuan City have been taken over by him. The original Taiyuan garrison was moved out of the city and divided into several generals under the division and management.
Although Xu Han is a scholar, he is indeed a man with brains. After negotiating the conditions with Yan Zonghan, he retreated thirty miles south to give way, but he didn't stand there stupidly and wait to see Yan Zonghan withdraw.
Because he understands that in this situation, the official family will agree to his deal with Wanyan Zonghan. However, from the standpoint of some people, or at another time in the future, his behavior may become "raising the enemy in front of the battle and fleeing from the enemy chieftain".
No one can afford such a crime. So Xu Han made an ingenious plan to kill two birds with one stone - he immediately waved his army and changed his course, and came directly to "take" Taiyuan. Even if someone accuses him of arson with the enemy in the future, he can completely say, "I am sending troops to attack Taiyuan." Moreover, Xu Han was also a little worried that Yan Zonghan would not believe his words, and he would not let go of Taiyuan after taking his grain and grass. Therefore, taking advantage of the time when Yan Zonghan took it lightly, it was really a superior strategy to highlight the surprise soldiers and kill them under the city of Taiyuan.
Xu Han is indeed not stupid. At this moment, Taiyuan was all under his control, and the Jurchen army outside the city had indeed withdrawn -- the military task of this trip could be said to have been successfully completed!
The rest is the "political task" assigned by the official. Temporarily, the newly appointed official of the Great Song Dynasty had already sent various hints to Xu Han and said the subtext in his heart - "Even Li Gang and people like the Taoist have handed over the military power, what kind of thing are you, the king, who dare to privately seize the military power and resist the separatism?" ”
On the side of the couch, others are not allowed to snore, and regardless of whether there is external trouble, internal worries are all given priority to solve -- this is the style of the Great Song Dynasty officials.
What's more, now that the external troubles have been solved, Xu Han dare not slack off, and must pack up Wang Yu and his group as soon as possible and escort them to Tokyo, so that the task of this trip can be considered complete.
At this time, the sergeants who had just been sent out to investigate outside the city came back and informed Xu Han that the Jurchen army had indeed withdrawn to the east; A fierce battle was going on in the direction of the Huanglong Valley at the southeast foot of Taihang Mountain, and the scouts who went to investigate could hear the movement and see the skyrocketing fire when they were more than ten miles away.
After hearing this, Xu Han stroked his beard and sneered, and said, "Wang Yu and the others are really in collusion with Taihang Xiangma and jointly send troops. I promised Yan Zonghan not to embarrass him, but I did it. But the people of Taiyuan City and Taihang Mountain want to find him unlucky, and I can't help it. It's best for them to eat dogs and bite hard--General Yao, you can lead 40,000 horses to Huanglong Valley to sit on the wall and watch the battle, waiting for the opportunity to clean up the mess. Be sure to bring back Chu Tianya, Wang Xun and the army they brought out. If you can catch a few ringing horse leaders in Taihang Mountain, it is the best. ”
"The last general has to order ......" Yao Gu had no choice but to accept the promise.
"Among the planters, you led the people of your headquarters to sit on the periphery of Taiyuan and put them on strict guard. From now on, martial law will be implemented in Taiyuan, and no one is allowed to freely enter and leave the Taiyuan Sifang City Gate except for the Wang Shi generals and generals who have the warrant of the official. Whoever dares to act rashly, no matter who he is, will be killed! Xu Han gave the order in a deep voice.
"Yes...... the generals can only follow the order.
Xu Han glanced around at the generals, and saw that their faces were a little abnormal, so he smiled slightly and said, "The king's fate is like a mountain, and he has to obey." The people will not be allowed to have selfish thoughts or thoughts, and if anyone perverts the law and indulges in others, he will be guilty of the same crime! ”
