Chapter Eighty-Nine: Collapse
After returning to the station, while the soldiers happily boiled water, skinned it, and removed the flesh from the tiger's body piece by piece, and threw it into the pot to prepare for a feast, Ma Wentao and Chen Zhiwei whispered on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey, old horse, what do you say is going on?" Chen Zhiwei was like an underground worker at the joint, and he lowered his voice and said: "We said before that we would run away when we had the opportunity, this is ..... Do you want to wait any longer? ”
Ma Wentao gritted his teeth and said firmly: "What are you waiting for?" Now we are all eating ourselves, and there is no benefit at all from following this guy. Didn't Da Shi Linya send us a secret letter? You know that too. ”
"Eh, Lin Ya said that we should secretly do it....", Chen Zhiwei made a one-palm downward splitting action, "But, won't this be too undeliverable?" The general was good to us. not only scattered all the family wealth, but also taught us martial arts, this kind of kindness, but it will not be repaid in a lifetime. ”
"Hmph, Lin Ya said that, but it doesn't mean that we have to do it." Ma Wentao said angrily: "Don't say anything else, is that the flowerless monk you beaten?" ”
Chen Zhiwei shook his head, "I can't beat it, Master Wuhua and that Black Light Master are very high in martial arts, and I don't have much confidence if I don't encircle and suppress it with a large army." ”
"Isn't that the end of it?" Ma Wentao spread his hands and said: "The general's martial arts are still above Master Wuhua and the Black Light Master, even if we are hundreds of people dressed up and swarmed up, most of them will not be able to defeat the general, so what else is there to say?" You can only pull the army and run back. ”
"However, the general hunted and caught a white tiger ......," Chen Zhiwei hesitated again, "Do you want to take a look again?" ”
"See what?" Ma Wentao said in surprise: "Don't you know that the flowerless monk doesn't have much money in his hands?" Although I was very touched by the fact that they spent money to support the military, there was no money or food, and no matter how high the martial arts were, the army would not be able to sustain itself, so we would better run away. ”
"But..... But .....," Chen Zhiwei said awkwardly, "This Khitan doesn't look good anymore... Great timing.... This is a matter of the princes of the hundred generations....."
"Yo, I didn't expect you to have this kind of thought," Ma Wentao rolled his eyes, "We don't have that fate, let's go back honestly, and then hug my mother-in-law, isn't it?" ”
"Lao Ma, your family has a few acres of land, but we people," Chen Zhiwei pointed to the elated soldiers, and said in a low voice: "But what do we have?" In addition to a cheap life, a good horse, and then a knife and gun in his hand. If you want them to give up the thirty acres of land here and go home, I'm afraid that many people are unwilling! ”
When Ma Wentao heard this, he wanted to look up to the sky and sigh. In the end, however, he only smiled wryly a few times, and then said nothing else.
Just when the two of them were relatively speechless, there was a chaotic sound of horses' hooves outside the station, and Gao Yongchang's loud voice came from afar.
"Brother Chen, Mr. Chen, General Chen!" Gao Yongchang ignored the Han soldiers around him who had drawn their swords and guns to guard against him, rushed to Chen Cheng's side, and shouted, "Yelu Zhangnu really ran away!" ”
Chen Cheng put down the wooden bowl slowly and methodically, and said, "Calm, calm." ”
Gao Yongchang roared urgently: "Still calm down a fart!" Yelu Zhangnu ran to Shangjing, and heard that he was going to support Yelu Chun as the emperor! At such a time, how can you calm down? ”
Chen Cheng waved his hand to let the soldiers with knives and guns disperse, and then said to Gao Yongchang: "Sit down, speak slowly." ”
Although Gao Yongchang was very excited, in front of Chen Cheng, he could only do it, and then tell the matter.
In the fourth year of Tianqing, the Jurchen Wanyan tribe was extremely fierce and Wanyan Aguta led the people to rise up against Liao, and turned to Ningjiang Prefecture (now the ancient city of Beiduna, Fuyu, Jilin) and Chuhedian (now southwest of Zhaoyuan, Heilongjiang Province), and won successive battles. In the first month of the following year, Wanyan Agu was proclaimed emperor (for Taizu) and built a great Jin country.
In the battle of the ancient city of Dalu, the Jin soldiers won more with less, and after defeating the Liao army, they captured Huanglongfu (now Nong'an, Jilin), and the momentum became more and more vigorous. In September, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo heard of the fall of Huanglongfu, and was very frightened, and decided to personally conquer the Jin army in an attempt to annihilate the Jin army in one fell swoop.
The emperor of Liao personally led 700,000 soldiers of the Han Dynasty out of Changchun Road, and ordered the privy envoy Xiao Fengxian to be the commander of the imperial camp, and Yelu Zhangnu was the deputy, and 20,000 elite soldiers were the vanguard. The remaining five divisions are the main army, more than 1,000 children of the ministers and nobles are the hard army, and the 100 divisions are the escort army; In addition, with Xiao Hu Lianggu as the commander of the capital, and Chai Shiyi, a privy counselor, as the deputy, he led 30,000 Han troops to ride south out of Ningjiang Prefecture, carrying several months of grain, and went their separate ways. In November, Emperor Tianzuo entered the Camel Gate, and sent Ma Xiao Temo, Lin Ya Xiao Cha and others led 50,000 cavalry and 400,000 foot soldiers to the neighborhood (now Da'an Nancha Ganpao, Jilin Province), hoping to win by dividing and attacking together.
Wanyan Agu heard the news, knowing that the Liao army was unstoppable, but he was still determined to face the battle. At the beginning of December, he led 20,000 cavalry to Ya Thorn, and sent Yan Di Gu Nai and Yan Yinshu Kezhen Dalu Ancient City (now Tuchengzi in the northwest of Buyeo, Jilin Province), and left his own Thorn to build a fortress to be attacked. On the tenth day of the first month, Yelu Zhangnu, the deputy commander of the Liao Imperial Battalion, led his troops to defect to Shangjing (now Boluo City, southeast of the Left Banner of Bahrain, Inner Mongolia), and planned to meet Yelu Chun to stand on his own, and Emperor Tianzuo had no intention of fighting again in internal strife, and retreated halfway.
"The Liao army is finished!" After Gao Yongchang explained the matter, he shouted: "The husband has made meritorious service, at this time!" ”
"Hey, when did Yelu Zhangnu go to Beijing?" Chen Cheng is not in a hurry at all, and it is useless to be anxious. If you want to cut a large piece of cake in the process of the collapse of the Liao State, you need to have a lot of patience.
"The day before yesterday," Gao Yongchang said uneasily on the top of his chair, "Now the Khitan army is estimated to have been defeated. This is the disciple of the Divine Sword Hall that I arranged for the army to pass it back, or in a few days, everyone in Tokyo City will know about it. If you don't take advantage of this time, you won't have a chance again! ”
"Well, the message is fast enough!" Chen Cheng was a little surprised, and said thoughtfully: "This requires a high degree of organization and high morale to complete." ”
"Then let's have a big fight!" Gao Yongchang shouted: "If you don't seize this kind of God-given opportunity, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!" ”
"There is no hurry," Chen Cheng said, "Now the Khitan comrades in the east have collapsed, but a new order has not yet been established. The defenders, soldiers, officials, and people in those places are in a panic when the hearts of the people are panicking, and only a few people can collect all the things scattered outside! ”
Chen Cheng stood up and said in an extremely confident tone: "General Gao, do you have the courage to go with me to do this vote?" ”
