Chapter 504: Wild Fox Ridge
Yehuling is more than 200 miles away from Fengshengzhou, the mountains are steep, the forests are high and the grass is lush, and wild beasts are infested. After the wild fox ridge to the north is the grassland, the mandarin duck is more than 100 miles north of the wild fox ridge, the emperor of the Liao State is tired of hunting water birds in the mandarin duck ridge, and also goes to the wild fox ridge to hunt from time to time.
The Jin army was dominated by cavalry, and in order to advance quickly, after the Jin army withdrew from Datong Mansion, it went north into the grassland area, and then went east to Zhongjing Road.
The soldiers and horses of Daliang marched westward to receive Datong Mansion.
The day before the appointed day, Chao Yong led his soldiers to Wanquan County, south of the Yehu Mountains.
Early in the morning, under the guidance of two locals in Wanquan County, they came to Yehuling.
After the wind blowing from the grassland enters the mountains, due to the squeezing of the mountains, the opening left for the wind to advance becomes smaller, and the wind is much stronger, so the people nearby also call Yehuling the Black Wind Mouth.
After entering the Wild Fox Ridge, the mountains were filled with the sound of wind and beasts, and Chao Yong's personal soldiers also increased their vigilance, strengthened their sentinels, and took binoculars to observe the grass and trees on the mountains, so as not to be ambushed.
Hua Rong looked at the steep mountains on both sides and said, "If I knew that the mountain situation of Yehuling was so complicated, I should have transferred a spaceship, and if there was a spaceship in the air to investigate, I would not be afraid of being ambushed." ”
The two countries will hunt, and Chao Yong will naturally not take Hua Rong, a marksman.
Duan Jingzhu, the golden retriever who had just arrived, said with a smile: "General Hua, don't worry, the army of the Jin Kingdom has already entered Zhongjing Road, and Wanyan Agu will not dare to attack the prince." ”
Duan Jingzhu was familiar with the geography of Liao, and after the expansion of the Intelligence Department began, Duan Jingzhu established the Yanyun Bureau to be responsible for intelligence work near the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.
Some time ago, he was an official who rebelled against the Liao State in Xijing Dao, and the surrender of Fengsheng Prefecture, Khan Prefecture and other states was attributed to the Yanyun Bureau. Duan Jingzhu even bribed two Ulzhou officials who had already surrendered to the Jin State, and if the Jin State refused to hand over the Xijing Road, Ulzhou would soon surrender the Great Liang and let the soldiers and horses from Hedong enter the Xijing Road.
Chao Yong nodded and said: "Zhongjing Dao is in chaos, and the rear of the Jin Kingdom is unstable, so I don't dare to start a war with my Daliang." Besides. The Jin people are just a group of wild people who come out of the mountains and forests, just like Wanyan Zongwang said, just the land in the eastern part of Tokyo Road, Nakakyo Road, and Kamikyo Road, they don't know how big it is. Now the savages are thinking of going home and counting the gold and silver and women they have robbed, and they are willing to fight again. ”
At the banquet that day, Li Kui and Wanyan Zongwang were still drunk in the end.
Unexpectedly, the usually cautious Wanyan Zongwang was completely unreliable after getting drunk, and before Chao Yong could make people talk, he chattered about the situation in Jin Guo, and the two entourages couldn't stop him.
Hua Rong heard the prince say this, nodded and said, "I hope the Jin people are just barbarians." Otherwise, the barbarians will be cunning and even more difficult to deal with. ”
Chao Yong smiled: "Whether they are savages or barbarians, my Liang is not the same as the Liao Kingdom, as long as they dare to be disrespectful to my Liang, they will be killed at a great price." ”
Chao Yong's self-confidence also relaxed the tense nerves of the soldiers, and the army marched through the mountains for a while, when they saw the sentinel flying horses coming in front.
"Report, I found the golden man earlier."
Chao Yong said to Duan Jingzhu: "You go and ask Jin Ren, where is Yan Agu after reading it." ”
Duan Jingzhu also learned the Jurchen language. This time I came to act as an interpreter, and when I heard the words, I followed the sentry to the front.
Not long after, Duan Jingzhu came back with a golden soldier and reported: "After Yan Aguda, I arrived at Yehuling yesterday. They set up camp in a col in front of them and invited us to meet there. ”
Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, let him lead the way." ”
The group walked through the valley for a while, and saw more than a dozen Jurchens in front of them. All of them are the same as Wanyan Zongwang, and their foreheads are covered with scars. The older the person attends, the more funerals they attend, the more scars they have. There are also a few who don't know whether they were cut by sending blood and tears, or whether they were injured on the battlefield. Not only does he have a scar on his forehead, but he also has several scars on his face, which looks particularly hideous.
Moreover, these dozen people were born with tigers and bears, and they can be said to be humanoid beasts.
The impact of Wanyan Zongwang and the three of them on everyone was not too big, but when dozens of people with scars on their faces appeared together, it was inevitable that everyone's psychology would change somewhat.
If it were thousands of people with scars on their faces who appeared, there would be no need to fight, and the people who could be seen just by looking at it would collapse.
The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and the 10,000 are invincible. Maybe it's not about the combat power of the Jurchens, but about the terrifying appearance of the Jurchens.
The Jurchens were originally like savages, rough and rough, and they didn't know how to pick themselves up, with unshaven beards, wild boar teeth around their necks, tails of unknown animals on their hats, and scarred foreheads, civilized people would be a little frightened when they saw them, as if they saw a beast.
Li Kuisheng's ferocity is also strange in Daliang, but he is a normal person in Jinguo. At least none of these dozen or so people are more pleasing to the eye than Li Kui, maybe Li Kui can be regarded as handsome when he goes to Jinguo.
The Jin soldiers, who led the way to everyone, saw the people in front of him, and immediately rolled the saddle and dismounted, and said, "The emperor of our country has personally ushered in it." ”
When Chao Yong heard that it was Wanyan Agu, he also asked everyone to dismount and brought Hua Rong, Li Kui, Sun An, Shi Bao, and Fang Jie to meet them.
Lin Chong took Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Zhu Tong, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao to take over Datong Mansion, and Chao Yong only ordered the four generals in front of the tent and Hua Rong to bring his own soldiers to the appointment.
Wanyan Aguda is fifty-four years old, his hair is gray, and although his body is not as good as before, he walks with a tigerish style, and he looks like the best among the savages.
The two groups of people were more than a foot apart, and after Yan Agu beat him, he learned to hold his fists with the Han people.
Although Wanyan Aguta wanted to create Jurchen culture, in the eyes of the savages, the Han culture was always the most noble, and no matter how the savages advocated their own culture, they were afraid that the Han people would despise them, so Wanyan Aguta also learned some Han etiquette.
Chao Yong was reluctant to be the first to give up, although Wanyan Aguda was older, but the Central Plains has always been the upper kingdom of the Celestial Empire, and the two countries will hunt, and there is no reason for Daliang to be the first to see the salute.
However, after seeing Yan Agu clenching his fists, Chao Yong also hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I have heard the name of the lord of the Jin Kingdom for a long time, and when I see it today, I am really a hero." ”
Wanyan Aguda didn't understand Chao Yong's words, so he could only wait for Wanyan Xiyin, who was proficient in Khitan and Chinese, to finish translating, and then he also said it.
Duan Jingzhu also translated for Chao Yong, and the two exchanged a few words of greeting.
After Yan Agu beat him, he turned sideways, made a gesture of invitation, and invited Chao Yong and his party into the camp.
There are golden soldiers around the camp, and the 1,000 guards of Wanyan Aguta, except for 100 people patrolling around the camp, the rest are all assembled in the camp to welcome the arrival of Prince Daliang. (To be continued......)
