Chapter 90: Zong Han
"A new tent has been set up outside the ruined city of Bei'an State.
This camp was set up, but it was very different from the Jurchen tent.
The Jurchen camp seems to be scattered, and there is a lot of open space. The trench is narrow and shallow, and the fence is hasty. Only the watchtower is tall and large. However, the range of movement of men and horses in the battalion is very large, and the cavalry of the brigade can advance and retreat freely. The Jurchen combat units were also smaller than those of the Liao and the Great Song Dynasty, and rarely fought in large formations. More than 1,000 horsemen gathered together to charge the battle, and it was a big scene that could not be left. Naturally, there is no need to set up the camp so strictly.
Moreover, since the rise of the Jurchen army, it has fought thousands of miles. Few armies can fight with the female truth, and they can fight a little bit without winning or losing. From north to south. The remnants of the Great Liao have already collapsed against the Jurchen white banner, and in front of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry, there is only a trembling rout, and there is no enemy left, so that the six thousand True Jurchen Elite Cavalry can be cautiously lowered to the village and treated with a heavy battle!
However, this newly established camp is deep and high, and it is tightly and solid. In the camp. There were all sorts of miscellaneous tents, and even huts made of wood and thatch, no matter how dilapidated, but they were all in good order.
The patrol battalion soldiers are also in untidy uniforms, and it is difficult to find a complete set of armor. But the order is still restrained, but there is still no trace. Naturally, there is a style of a veteran soldier who has survived a hundred battles. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the camp of the Liao people and even the Great Song Dynasty, not the Jurchen atmosphere.
In the center of this camp, there is a big flag with red teeth bordered by red teeth, and the military horn is on the side, which is the three big characters of the Changsheng Army! In the middle of the banner, it is a Dong character with teeth and claws.
Dong Dalang has re-played the military horn of the ever-victorious army in Bei'anzhou!
For this Liao who has returned from a poor journey, why does the commander Zong Han attach so much importance to the Jurchen generals. I can't figure it out. How many Liao famous ministers and fierce generals are prostrate in front of Zong Han's horse. Zong Han dismissed them and sent them to serve as horse feeders. The Great Liao West Road recruited the commander Xi Wang Xia to surrender at the end of the battle, and was also wrapped in a felt sleeve by Zong Han while talking and laughing, and ten thousand horses stepped into a pulp.
A fake son of the Liao variegated army leader in Nanjing suffered a defeat, and only rushed to Bei'an Prefecture with five or six hundred henchmen in rags. Zong Han just talked to him for a while, and then solemnly accepted it.
That's all. Zong Han didn't know what was crazy, so he actually sent troops to Bei'an Prefecture and changed the old emperor's strategy of cutting Liao without authorization. There is no eagerness to go west out of the Scoop Ridge and eliminate the remnants of the Liao people that Yelu Yanxi cobbled together there. Instead, he wanted this Dong Dalang to recruit exiles in Bei'an Prefecture, and even handed over many Liao people to his command, and gave him the title of Thousand Households Meng'an in Bei'an Prefecture, and Marshal Chang Shenggan. also allocated the real girl and real strength of Simouke for the first time, and he dispatched it, and he actually wanted to focus on Dong Dalang and prepare to go deep into Nanjing Road!
Six thousand Jurchen elite horses, they will be in Bei'an Prefecture to think that Dong Dalang is backing, once Dong Dalang acts smoothly. is going to wave his army south, regardless of the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, who is in the clouds west of the Scoop Ridge, and wants to sweep the Nanjing Road of the Liao State and go straight to Yanjing City!
Everyone knows that Zong Han is considered to have left a hand, and he did not go too far against the will of Emperor Aguta, with Dong Dalang as the vanguard, and if he did not go well, he would advance in a big way, and if he did not go well, he would abandon Dong Dalang's department. But the Jurchen generals and nobles still made a fuss!
The Jurchen system was first established, and it did not change the legacy of the day. The generals in the tent discussed the matter, just sitting in a circle, drawing ashes and discussing. Speech etiquette, careless and superior people do not care. For Zong Han's decision, almost everyone jumped up. Pointing fingers is just against!
The Jurchens raised troops in order to overthrow the world. Emperor Aguta hated Yelu Yanxi to the bone. In the eyes of everyone, there is almost only Yelu Yanxi, and only by capturing and beheading him can he be regarded as truly destroying the Liao State and fulfilling the Jurchen wish to raise troops! Now Yelu Yanxi ignored the track, but turned south. There, the Song people were fighting to the death with the Liao people. Everybody knows that. The Song and Liao fought themselves. What's the matter with the Jurchen again? Not to mention that the Song people and the Jurchens still had an alliance, and at this time, the Jurchens were still a little rustic, and they were ashamed to break the covenant. Zong Han's decision is unconvincing!
The further south you go, the hotter it gets. The Jurchen warriors, who grew between the white mountains and black waters, felt that it was enough to fight here. In addition to Yanjing, the Liao people have captured enough wealth and slave women, and it is precisely after destroying Yelu Yanxi that they want to turn north to enjoy the blessings, and after enjoying themselves, they go to Ali to have a good time, which is the greatest joy of the Jurchens. Why go to the places in the south that are said to heat people to death?
In the area of Bac Anju, the seized livestock. It's everyone's property. Zong Han is the commander-in-chief. But it can only get the largest share. And why do you want to take these strong animals? There are also military equipment, grain, grass and war horses, handed over to Dong Dalang to re-establish the winning army?
But Zong Han was violently opposed to everyone, but he ignored it accordingly, and just insisted on doing it.
It turns out that among the Jurchen people, the difference in status is not very obvious. Even the Emperor Agu beats the emperor, and sometimes he has to obey the public opinion. However, the war against Liao has been carried out until now, and some superiors and inferiors have gradually been distinguished. Zong Han was born quite closely. He was also one of the main instigators of the invasion of Liao. Several wars have made great achievements. Gradually, the status is different from the usual. He insisted that if this was the case, everyone really had no choice, and while secretly spreading the news to the Emperor of Jing's Guta, he could only make trouble with Dong Dalang.
All kinds of difficulties and coldness, and so on. Zong Han was going to use it to supply Dong Dalang's raw military resources, grain, grass, equipment, and war horses, but he was just a trick. He also set up a new camp head, and drove him far away, so as not to be disgusted in front of him. The Jurchen generals are just swaggering outside Dong Dalang's camp day after day, wanting to make a big fuss from the beginning. Even if you cut off Dong Dalang's dog head. What else? It's just a matter of breaking out and losing a few good horses!
However, Dong Dalang has undergone great changes for a long time and has endured it very much. The Jurchens were clamoring and laughing and scolding outside, and Dong Dalang actually decided to be a turtle with a shrunken head and would never go out of the camp for half a step. For a while, they were not allowed to go out of the camp to receive grain and grass. I'd rather the whole army be hungry than touch that moldy head. The Jurchen department couldn't really attack the camp, and it turned out to be a temporary constraint. Watching Dong Dalang's department grow stronger day by day, the seizures they want to share are getting less and less. And I don't know when, Dong Dalang will wave his army south, these Jurchen generals can no longer bear it, if they want to make trouble, they will simply make a big fuss, let this guy surnamed Dong never do his Spring and Autumn dream of re-becoming an army and taking power again!
Outside the camp gate, the sound of hooves was heard. Dong Dalang, who was on duty at the top of the inspection gate, and the Changsheng sergeant subconsciously widened his eyes. Most of them were defeated and captured by the Liao army, and their original fate was just to go to the bitter cold land in the north to be slaves of Jurchen nobles. Now that he has changed himself and become an independent army, he will cherish the hard-won change of destiny even more.
No matter who was on duty in the walled cupboard, they insulted and laughed at the Jurchens, but they just struggled to hold back. It's better than not having three meals at the beginning, and it will come in an instant at any time! There have even been cases where the Jurchens shot at Chazha, and these victorious sergeants were wounded by arrows and still didn't say a word!
Today, it is rare that the camp gate is a little cleaner. Everyone was secretly rejoicing, but they didn't expect that people hadn't forgotten this stubble after all, and they still came to the door to find something!
Everyone is looking listlessly, but they find that the weather is different today. It wasn't the Jurchen knights who laughed and scolded the brigade, they came back from hunting and came here to have fun by the way.
It was a four-horseed Jurchen general, dressed in a wide-collared leather robe, a wolfskin hat, and crowned boots. Riding on a horse just swaggered. The Jurchen costumes are not much up and down, and it is only when they see behind them, followed by dozens of pale heads and bullets that they dare not come out of the atmosphere, they know that they are Jurchen generals.
Although there were few people this time, this time it was a bigger one. The Jurchen official system is also very sloppy. Below Meng'an is Mooke, and then there is Priyan Alixi. There is no strict distinction between up and down. Meng'an can be the commander of the front, and in case of emergency, Mouke can also command the army. The Jurchen army is also rising, as long as it is the identity of Meng'an. Most of them are noble relatives, and no one can afford to offend.
Four people came at once, and they didn't know what kind of trouble they were looking for today. On the fence, everyone's faces were pale. I can't wait to shrink their heads back, they want to make trouble, and if they shoot a few in vain, Dong Dalang will never stand up for them again!
Seeing that the four horsemen had already come to the gate of the Zhaizha, these four people didn't bother to say anything to the defenders of the Zhaizha Gate. A man with a pale head came out of the crowd, looking at his appearance with fine skin and tender flesh, I don't know what kind of noble official he was in Liao that day, and now he can only become a Jurchen slave. Just shouted with a bitter face upwards:
"This is the commander of the Simouke who was transferred to the Changsheng army by the military order of the nobles of Zong Han. Now I want to talk to Dong Dalang! In this ever-winning army, who said what counts, you have to talk to Dong Dalang and let all the officials in! A slight delay. Burning your bird family and cutting off Dong Dalang's dog head is just an idle matter! โ
Above the fence, the defenders just listened to the pale hair with a white face. Wait for them to finish shouting unceremoniously. Only then did he cautiously reply: "I have given a salute to the four nobles!" The Dong Guanren was in the big tent, and he invited the four nobles to wait, and we went to the camp to spread the word...... How dare we ant-like people stop the four nobles? Not to mention the qualifications to reply to the four nobles, how about waiting for the directors to come out and speak? โ
The defenders just groveled above the cupboard. I have been fighting with the Liao people for two years, and there are many Liao slaves in each Jurchen nobleman's family, and they can understand the words of the Liao people. Without waiting for the cangtou to return, Na Mouke whistled first: "Dong Dalang's face is shameless, we came to ask for advice, but he looks like this!" broke the stockade and went in, Zong Han had nothing to say! โ
His whistle suddenly sounded in the distance, and the sound of countless bone whistles echoed in the distance. Within the camp. Everyone was so frightened that their faces turned pale, and they saw that among the four fields, countless Jurchen knights suddenly appeared. Everyone was armed, but they came on horseback. Many people's bows and arrows were already full, and they just gestured towards the fence to demonstrate. A Jurchen knight glanced at it, and after more than two hundred steps, he let go and released an arrow. Feather arrows have always been called the power of a hundred-step tiger wolf, even if the Liao people are good at shooting, separated by a distance of a hundred steps, it is impossible to talk about the power of the head. This Jurchen knight was just the lowest Ali Xi, and an arrow was sent from more than two hundred steps away. When I passed by the ears of the chasa soldiers, there was still the sound of hunting and breaking through the sky!
The feather arrow came like lightning, and it broke the flag hanging high above the fence at once, and the thud of the flower sank into the flagpole. The long arrowhead is twice as long as the average feather arrow, but it emits a dazzling cold light. I saw the big flag of Dong on the wall. In the crowd of Jurchen knights surrounded by all sides, there was a burst of rough laughter and scolding!
Behind these Jurchen knights, there are the auxiliary soldiers of the brigade, and these are mostly foot soldiers, just carrying and pushing all kinds of equipment. Many people's elegant carts are full of dirt bags and wooden ladders. It is the utensils that are prepared to be used to fill the foam. There are even people with hook axes, but this is used to pull down the household goods that cut down the walled cupboard!
Looking at this posture, everyone was so frightened that they shrank into a ball, just running around on the fence, today's situation is not easy. These Jurchens seem to be coming for real, and they have to set foot on this stockade today and hurry up!
Dong Dalang's department, with the strong support of Zong Han, even if there were Jurchen nobles and relatives who obstructed it in every way, they also cobbled together four or five thousand men and horses, and more than a thousand war horses that were captured at the beginning of Xi Wang Xia's supplement, and the momentum was still greater than that of Dong Dalang. He brought hundreds of people. They are all the backbone descendants of the old war, and with them as the shelf to lead this army and horses, a discerning person can see at a glance whether he can fight or not.
Seeing that Dong Dalang's power has swelled so much, he may go south at any time. These Jurchen nobles can't hold back any longer, so they have to make a big deal for Dong Dalang today!
With so many people acting together, even if Zong Han knew about it afterwards, it was just a reprimand. Could it be that the Jurchen relatives are not as good as Dong Dalang, the three family slaves?
A junior officer of Dong Dalang's department rushed to the top of the inspection gate, opened his arms, and just shouted hoarsely: "Ladies and gentlemen, and wait for half of them, I will go and ask Dong Guanren to apologize to all nobles!" This camp can't be broken. We are just the eagle lackeys of the nobles, how can we be the thunder and anger of the nobles? โ
There was another swishing sound of a feather arrow breaking through the air, and a feathered arrow flew like a lightning bolt, straight into the throat of the petty officer. He didn't hum, and pressed his neck and his head and feet fell from the gate. Now that they saw the blood, those Jurchen knights were no longer polite, and a rain of arrows poured on their heads. The Jurchen knights' arrow rain was not violent and intensive, but the accurate head was wonderful, and almost all of them opened hard bows. It's just that the defenders on the fence are rolling and crawling, and it's just a nest of crickets jumping down the fence. More than a dozen lives were spared, and none dared to fight back, just screaming and fleeing for their lives.
The Jurchen knights just laughed loudly, and in the blink of an eye, they approached Chamo, and the auxiliaries set up a wooden ladder. Dropping the earthen bag, those Jurchen knights dismounted nimlessly, crossed the trench in three or two strokes, put the hook on the grate, and threw the rope back. Several horses were in parallel in one place, tied to the hook rope ends, and with a whistle, dozens of hook ropes were tightened together.
In the neighing of the war horse, a few muffled sounds were heard, and the huge wood of the walled cupboard buried deep was already shaking in the earth, tilting outward crookedly. Don't do it three or two times, and the fence will collapse.
Anyway, it has already opened the killing ring, and as soon as the village falls, these Jurchen knights will enter on horseback, and Dong Dalang's victorious army will be resurrected again, and it will be buried again!
At this time, a trumpet was heard. Listen to the sound in Dong Dalang's camp. It is Zong Hanxiao's unique command to show his identity. Of all hosts, as long as the trumpet has been sounded. No matter where Zong Han's banner of commanding the battle pointed. The Jurchen warriors could only move forward in that direction.
Hearing this horn, the jurchen knights who were elated were all stunned, slowed down their movements, and stared blankly into the camp.
How could Zong Gan be in Dong Dalang's camp?
After a while, I saw that the gate of Dong Dalang's camp was wide open, and the suspension bridge had been lowered. At the gate of the camp was a sturdy middle-aged man wearing a round-necked, wide-sleeved leather robe and a white fox fur hat, less than forty years old, full of faces, all of which had a refined taste. With a faint sweep of his eyes, he has the bearing to command thousands of troops and horses and sweep the world.
This person is not one of the commanders of the Jurchen South Road Expedition Liao army. Reading novels on mobile phones and interviewing wรจnwap.16|kx|s.cn, one of the biggest heroes of the founding of the Jurchen country, who else can be Wanyan Zonghan who is the big Wanyan Agu and the emperor who loves it?
Beside him, it was the Jurchen gold-armored nobleman who once took Dong Dalang on a hunting trip. He is about the same age as Wanyan Zonghan, but he looks stronger and stronger than Wanyan Zonghan, his body is full of explosive energy, and his eyes are extremely sharp. But it is Wanyan Yinkeshu, the first general under Wanyan Zonghan, he is a member of the Jurchen Wendu tribe, but because he is born as a general, he can not only rush into battle, but also command Ruoding in the army.
In the battle of Bu Answer Gang, Yin Keshu was just a Pu Liyan, leading fifty soldiers. โฆโฆ Killed and repelled hundreds of Liao people far away, and later the battle, it was a straight cow into the Liao army array, capturing and beheading the Liao people and countless fierce generals, the first to frustrate the Liao people's position, until the Liao people were killed to a big rout, still chasing out seventy or eighty miles, after the war, the silver can be the most Jurchen!
So far, Yin Keshu married the daughter of the Wanyan family and became a member of the Wanyan family. In later battles. It has made countless contributions. Everyone regards him as a second-rate famous general of the Jurchen God of War. It is also Wanyan Zonghan's most valued love general. (In history, the prestige of Yinkeshu is far more than that, and his most glorious time was when he fought near Taiyuan during the Jingkang period.) With thousands of real Jurchen cavalry, they can be repeatedly ground like a grinding plate to rescue Taiyuan's Great Song Dynasty reinforcements, and defeated the Hebei Road to recruit the deputy envoy Fan Man, the Hedong Road to recruit and the deputy envoy Liu Zhen, the famous general in Hedong can be asked, and the forbidden army palace and Sima Jun are all commanded by Han Cheng, Luo Quan. Sun Xu, the former commander of the Forbidden Army's palace, and the world-famous small race of the Gong Division, the elite division of the Great Song Dynasty added up to 150,000 or 60,000! These two people are the core souls of the Jurchen army of 6,000 in Bei'anzhou, but they both appeared in Dong Dalang's camp at this time!
Behind them, it was Dong Dalang.
He is also dressed as a Jurchen nobleman. Wearing a fur hat. His eyes drooped, and he didn't look at the messy situation at the gate of the camp, but just stood respectfully behind Zong Han and Yin Keshu.
Zong Han glanced at the scene in front of him and scolded with a smile: "You guys, what are you playing with?" Yelu Yanxi's hunting ground is not enough for you to spread wild? If you have to come to the door, don't you know that there is a certain scene in Dong Dalang's camp? โ
Several Jurchen nobles who took the lead glanced at each other, dismounted one after another, and saluted with both hands on their chests:
"Zong Han, where did I know you were here! You don't patronize the Jurchen disciples, but when you go to this surrendering camp, Yelu Yanxi does not want to capture him, but wants to think about going south. This victorious army was made up of our slaves and horses! How can we be convinced? โ
Zong Yi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Yin Keshu, and just laughed: "Along the way, you have fought so many battles to the death, how much property and how many children have you gained?" Shegu, you sue a certain family! โ
A Jurchen nobleman took a step forward, his face full of smugness: "Eighty horses, ten catties of gold, eight pairs of good armor, other silverware can't be said, thirty-seven are strong, and nineteen Liao women." There are still some old wounds, I just cut them. It's a waste to keep it! Turn back to Shangjing. Anyone who looks at this property will be red-eyed! โ
Zong Yi looked up to the sky and laughed: "Have you ever seen a mountain of gold, a palace like a god's residence, a beauty like jade, a land that is so fat that it flows oil, and countless raw slaves?" In Bianliang, the capital of Song, there are millions of people! โ
What is the number of millions, the Jurchen nobles who relied on knotted ropes to remember things decades ago really have no idea. The Jurchens raised no more than 2,700 troops. They now have 6,000 men, which is already a rare army, enough to dominate the world in the north. The entire Jurchen clan is only about 100,000 people!
"The essence of the Liao Kingdom is almost in your hands. What about your children in the future? What kind of possessions are you going to leave for them? You must know that the Song people are weak, and they are ten times better than these Liao people! Now these raw equipment and horses will be regarded as a certain family borrowing you, take Yanjing, and return ten times to you! โ
Speaking of this, Zong Han's tone already had some mocking looks: "Yelu Yanxi is panting on the other side of the mountain, eating sand and drinking wind, and piecing together a little people and horses, are you afraid?" Even if Yelu Yanxi can get together another million people to come out during this time, a certain family will only be destroyed with one blow! Now with a time when the moon is waning. Take Yanjing down first. The Song people were incompetent, and a certain family took it. It's our Jurchen's property! With this, in the future, I will go south to the Southern Dynasty and attribute all the jade silks of the children of the Song people to my daughters! โ
Yin Keshu also came out of the crowd and said loudly: "The old emperor of Ah Guda rose up to press the tiger water, so that we can spell out our status today!" For the sake of all generations, for the sake of future generations, let's take down the Southern Dynasty again! When the army first started, how could the old emperor get the praise of everyone? It's nothing more than looking at opportunities. Act decisively, now in front of Zong Han, there is also such an opportunity, if the old emperor is now in Bei'anzhou, he will also be tempted! Zong Han has made up his mind, and he is about to go south with Dong Dalang! You are not willing to ask for such a glorious opportunity. But I'm willing to ask for it! You four mooks are all led by me, and there are 400 women who are really good men. Enough to sweep Yanjing! โ
The Jurchens just glanced at each other, and everyone was silent. Zong Han and Yin Keshu are so decisive. It seems that he still secretly went to Dong Dalang's camp, and what he discussed was nothing more than the abundance of going south. Unexpectedly, Yinkeshu has to follow south! The decision has been made, what else is there to say? Follow the south and take a look and leave, if the south is really so rich, then we will talk about the time. Anyway, now it seems that my arms can't twist my thighs...... Let's just go along! Anyway, the remnants of Nanjing, plus those southerners who are said to be extremely weak, can they still block the Jurchen iron horse from coming and going freely?
Jurchen people, at this time, only the flag has died down. After packing up his belongings, he saluted to Zong Wei and Yin Keshu, and prepared to leave in a gloomy manner. From beginning to end, Dong Dalang stood aside with his eyes down. Not a word was spoken.
Zong Han scolded with a smile: "This is going back?" โ
A Jurchen nobleman turned around: "Zong Han." What's the matter? โ
Zong Han crossed his waist and smiled: "People killed in vain? killed other people's slaves and livestock, and also had to pay for horses and cattle. Not to mention that the current Chang Shengjun is our Jurchen Flying Eagle lackey! Count how many lives there are, one person is worth ten horses, and come together to give it to Yinkeshu! โ
If it doesn't make trouble, it will be a big ruin. The Jurchen generals were even more depressed, and as soon as they whistled, they dispersed. It's a little quicker than it is there. Only the tattered camp gate of Dong Dalang's department was left.
Zong Han turned to Dong Dalang and patted him on the shoulder with a smile: "Dalang, you know that a certain family values you. The Jurchen people are bold and rude, don't look at your heart, a certain always supports you...... As long as you can take Yanjing, what if Yanjing is sealed to you? The matter of the south can be decided in a word! Now that Yin Keshu is here, this matter of going south can no longer be delayed, is it enough to give you another ten days to prepare? When the time comes, I will go south in one fell swoop, and within 20 days, I want you to take Yanjing in return! โ
Dong Dalang's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice: "The adult is right, I am the adult's flying eagle lackey!" This time, as the forerunner of the Yinkeshu nobles, Yanjing will definitely be rewarded! The villain is in the land of Yanyun. There are also some grievances, if it weren't for adults, how could I have the day to return to the south again! My subordinates can't wait to set off right now! โ
Zong Han laughed and looked south: "The Song people and the Liao people, I don't know what I'm thinking about at the moment...... The old emperor is not there, but the iron hooves of our Jurchen are not yet ready to stop! This kind of sharpness is not in the conquest, and it will slowly wear out, but fortunately, it is behind Da Liao. There is also a big song! Until today, we will slowly retire for the elderly...... Dalang. I await your good news! โ
