When the main force of the Jin army attacked Jinling, Cui Feng had already met the fourth king of Western Xia, Xia Chongzong, Li Qianshun, in the palace of Xingqing Mansion in the city of Tokyo in Western Xia. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Cui Feng explained his intention to Li Qianshun, hoping that Western Xia could send troops to attack the Jin State and contain the military horses on the western front of the Jin State

。

In Western Xia, King Li Qianshun asked Cui Fengdao: "Song envoy ......"

"No, Your Majesty, Zhao Song has already died in the country, and the foreign minister is the envoy of the Ming Dynasty, not the envoy of Zhao Song." Cui Feng corrected.

"Haha," Li Qianshun laughed and said: "Whether it is the Great Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty, anyway, it is now a fight between you Han and Jurchens, isn't it good for our party members to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

"Hehe......" Li Qianshun's answer was already expected by Cui Feng, he sneered twice and said: "Your Majesty, is it really good to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?" ”

"What's wrong with that?"

Cui Feng cleared his throat and said: "Please think about it, if the Jurchens cross the Yangtze River and really destroy my Daming, will the Jurchens let His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom be in a safe corner?" With all due respect, before the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was the Zhao and Song dynasties, and the north was the Khitans. The Great Song Dynasty has been repeated five times

The crusade against His Majesty's Great Xia, the Khitans also crusaded against His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom five times or three times, why did His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom have few small soldiers but could stand still between the two males? ”

Li Qianshun didn't speak, just stared at Cui Feng directly.

Cui Feng continued: "Why? Because His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom was able to invade the Khitans, His Majesty pulled Zhao Song to fight against the Khitans; On the contrary, if Zhao Song invaded the Great Xia Kingdom, His Majesty pulled the Khitan against Zhao Song. So the most unwilling, and the least able to see Huaxia

The situation of the unification of the earth should be Your Majesty. Please imagine, Your Majesty, if the Jurchens destroy my Daming, the next step to pacify is not Dali, it is you Xixia. At that time, the Jurchens should use the strength of the whole country to level His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, which should be effortless

Target. Speaking of this, Cui Feng was stunned and said, "If I am the emperor of the Jurchens and destroy the Ming Dynasty, I will definitely attack you in Western Xia next?" ”

Cui Feng's words made Li Qianshun's face expressionless: "Why? ”

Cui Feng heard this and smiled slightly: "Your Majesty, Dali is far away and wilderness, and there is no threat to the Jurchens, and Your Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom is not only an obstacle for the Jurchens to march to the Western Regions, but also can threaten Chang'an at any time, who will he destroy the Jurchen Kingdom first if he doesn't destroy His Majesty's Great Xia Kingdom first?" ”

Li Qianshun thought for a while and said, "Please also ask the envoy to go to the pavilion to rest first." ”

Cui Feng knew that Li Qianshun had to discuss this kind of major matter with his ministers before making a decision.

A few days later, Li Qianshun sent someone to inform Cui Feng, asking him to go back first to restore his life, and tell the Ming Emperor that the Great Xia Kingdom would definitely not watch the Ming Dynasty fall to the country, and would definitely send troops to attack the Jurchens, so that the Ming could resist the Jurchens' attacks with all their might.

After Cui Feng got the reply, he did not return to Jiangnan, but only sent an entourage back to China, and he continued to the north, and then went to the desert in the north to persuade the Mongols, who had a grudge against the Jurchens, to send troops to attack the Jurchens' lair, and go to Beijing to Huining.

However, Li Qianshun is not stupid, he now clearly promised to send troops to attack Jin, but he will only stand still and see the situation. The reason why he clearly agreed to Cui Feng was that the meaning was very clear, that is, the encouragement of the Ming Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the Han people had the courage to fight to the death with the Jurchens. He, Li Qianshun, didn't want to see a Dajin who unified China, and he didn't want to see a Ming Dynasty who unified China.

Dividing line ********

The fierce battle of Bianliang continued, and the Jin army finally captured the outer city of Bianliang after paying 30,000 or 40,000 casualties with the spirit of numerous military horses and survival in death. The main force of the Ming army resisted and withdrew from the inner city, and continued to resist the frantic attack of the Jin army.

However, reinforcements were delayed.

The inner city of Bianliang City used to be the imperial city of the Great Song Dynasty, and the city walls were higher and thicker than the outer cities, and because of the geographical limitations of the outer cities, the Jin army's attack could not be as crazy as attacking the outer city, and tens of thousands of people were launched to attack at the same time.

However, the capture of the outer city has already achieved its goal for the Jin soldiers. The purpose of the discord and Wanyan Wushu was not to capture Bianliang, but to use Bianliang's manpower and material resources to erect a pontoon bridge in Bianliang, and then the whole army retreated north.

As early as the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the ancients had a history of building pontoon bridges on the Yellow River.

If you want to transport all the military horses that are inseparable from the Yan Wushu to cross the river by boat, it will take thousands of boats, obviously, the Jin army can't get together so many ships in a short period of time, but if you want to get together a hundred, it's still completely possible.

Just when the Jin army surrounded the Ming army under Lin Chong in the inner city of Bianliang, it was also stepping up to catch up with the pontoon bridge. And just when the Jin army was rushing to build the pontoon bridge, Sticky Didn't drink and led the remnants who were defeated by Yue Fei to Bianliang.

The three commanders of the Jin army gathered under the city of Bianliang, hugged each other and cried together, they had never been defeated so miserably since they rebelled with Agu, they never dreamed that the grass Kou who occupied the mountain as the king would beat them to the invincible army in the world

It was a rat running away, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

Just when the pontoon bridge was about to be built, suddenly Han Shizhong and Liu Qi led the cavalry corps of the two legions of the Liangshan Army to rush to the foot of Bianliang City.

When Han Shizhong and Liu Qi saw that the banner of the Jin Army was already planted on the head of Bianliang City, the two of them glanced at each other, and the one in their hearts asked together, "Is it too late?" ”

Han Shizhong said to Liu Qi: "General Liu, we have arrived here with the military horses, whether Bianliang is still in the hands of our army or not, our army should go and attack hard." ”

Liu Qi put his hand on the pergola, looked at it for a long time, and then listened attentively for a while, and said: "General Han, has the Dingjin army not all captured Bianliang?" ”

"Why did General Liu say that?"

Liu Qi said: "General Han, listen, there is clearly the sound of fighting in the city. ”

Han Shizhong also listened attentively for a while, but he didn't hear anything. Liu Qi said again: "Your Majesty gave you my military order is not to let the golden dog escape the Yellow River no matter what, since they are still in Bianliang City, it means that the Jin people still have people and horses in Henan, let's not say anything now, don't think about anything, you and me, one person all the way, one person all the way to the march, kill him for a while, entangle the Jin people, and then make plans when the infantry behind catches up." ”

Han Shizhong said: "What General Liu said is reasonable. Moreover, I have already ordered the two armies of the navy to go through the canal, and then enter the Yellow River to intercept the Jin, as long as you and I can drag them along the Yellow River, as long as the navy arrives, it will be done. ”

Liu Qi was not good at charging into battle, but now, he also carried a spear and shouted: "Brothers of the cavalry, follow me!" "Roared, led the men and horses from the east to the north gate of Bianliang to kill.
