Chapter 310: Youthful Spirit

The Song army brigade left Liaoyang Mansion and retreated along the road, and a Jin army followed behind. The two armies were only five miles apart, and it can be said that the golden drums heard each other, the troops were on strict alert for the withdrawal, and the pursuit was cautious, and everyone had to walk together, and they had to rest together, and after walking for six or seven days, no unpleasant thing had happened.

"General Li, what is the situation of the Song army today?" The sky was getting dark, the Song army was not greedy for the dark to hurry, and camped at dawn, and the Jin army had to follow.

"Report to the capital marshal, the Song army has camped six miles ahead, digging trenches and fortifications, and defending tightly!" Li Cheng hurriedly replied that he was dressed like a Jurchen, but his surname indicated that he was a Han Chinese.

"Well, General Li thinks the Song army has loopholes to find?" Wanyan Yanying nodded and asked again.

"Du Shuai, the Song army used the method of retreating alternately along the way to cover and gradually retreat, and the camping also used strong soldiers to guard outside, and the method of baggage and the people was included, and it was difficult for us to find their weaknesses!" Li Chengyan said, it is not difficult to hear from the words that he is very familiar with the combat methods of the Song army.

In fact, Li Cheng was originally a member of the Northern Song Dynasty, a convert from Xiongzhou, when the Jin army went south for the second time, he lost his organization and troops, and was confused about the future, so he led a group of former brothers to rob homes and houses in Shandong, and his life was quite chic. But the good days did not last long, Zhao Yong was ordered to rectify the Lianghe troops and suppress the rebellion, and Li Cheng fled to Yanjing to take refuge in Wushu under his fierce pursuit.

At that time, Wushu was expanding his strength, so he accepted Li Cheng and appointed him as a commander of the Han army to garrison Baigou in Jiehe. But he was also defeated repeatedly, and he was also blamed for his bad luck, and he met all the powerful characters in the Song army. One is Yue Fei, the military capital of Hebei Prefecture, and the other is Zhao Yong, the commander of the Zhenfu Division. However, it is understandable that the Jurchens have been beaten by them, and they have been able to please them well, and he is not too ashamed.

However, although Li Cheng is a martial artist, he also has his own advantages, and he has very strict orders for governing the army and fighting. Every time you charge. He has taken the lead; Every time he buried a pot to cook, the soldier didn't eat him or eat it; Every time a soldier was sick or wounded, he personally visited him; In one sentence, it can be summed up as sharing joys and sorrows with the soldiers. This style is similar to Zhao Ta, and of course it has also attracted a group of loyal subordinates.

Wushu took a fancy to the advantage of Li Chenghui leading the troops, and used him as an important chess piece, and even once someone falsely accused Li Cheng of rebellion. The vultures are also discerning. Handed over the false accuser to Li Cheng to deal with, fully expressed his trust in Li Cheng, and gradually promoted him to the commander of the Han army. When encountering such a wise new leader, Li Cheng had nothing to say, and the only thing he could do was to devote himself wholeheartedly to the Jin State and repay the grace of Wushu's knowledge.

At this time, in the face of the invasion of the Song army, there were not many available soldiers in the Jin State, and Li Cheng was entrusted with an important task by Wushu. He served as the former army commander of the Left Route Army, and was responsible for assisting Wanyan Yanying to expel the Song army in Liaoyang. Because he was born in the Song Army, he fought with his family for several years. He knew his tactics and combat effectiveness very well, so he did not dare to act rashly, and he had always maintained a situation of imminent separation with the Song army in front.

"General Li, who is the general on the other side?" Wan Yan Yanying was a little disappointed when she heard this, and asked instead.

"Yu Du Shuai, it is Zhao Yong, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council of the Song Army!" Li Cheng Shili said, the words of the heart not only know the Tao of the Lu, but you must know the Tao more after listening to it.

"Oh, it's him?! Do you know anything about him? Sure enough, Wanyan Yanying was not calm, his father was captured by him and has been imprisoned in the Southern Dynasty, of course, he is more concerned about the fierce rival of his father and son for two generations.

"The last general knows a little bit about it, this person is the emperor of the Southern Dynasty of the palace, since he was a child, he has been fighting in the north and south with him, brave and brave, often given heavy responsibilities, known as the first fierce general in the Great Song Army. He once led the army alone to Khitan Xijing to form a Krup army to sweep all sides, laying a place for Zhao Er in the northwest, and also became an important support for his future accession to the throne! Li Cheng said, "After Zhao Er inherited the unification, Zhao Yong led the army to pacify the two rivers, and served as the commander of the Southern Route Army when attacking Yan, from Xiongzhou to Yanjing, and was promoted to the deputy envoy of the Privy Council for his merits. ”

"It turned out to be him......" As soon as Li Cheng's words fell, a person in the seat hated and said, but everyone looked at a young man who had been started by Yan Yanying, although he tried his best to hide his anger, but his distorted face, red eyes and clenched 'Gababa' straight fists still betrayed him.

"Wulu, don't be sad, he can't escape death!" Wanyan Yanying hurriedly comforted the young man beside him.

"Du Shuai, if you want to attack, the last general is willing to take the lead and behead him personally to avenge his father!" The young man turned around and said, his body trembled slightly because of excitement, and said How can this kid have such a big enmity with Zhao Yong, and be so angry? Hehe, he is none other than Wanyan Yong, the son of Wanyan Zongfu who died in Yanjing City, and the nephew of Wushu. Zhao Yong, as one of the main generals of Fa Yan, is of course one of the 'culprits' who killed Yan Zongfu!

When Zongfu fell into Yanjing City, Wan Yan Yong was only twelve years old, and he lost his father at a young age, and was mainly raised by his mother, and he just turned eighteen years old this year. His mother Li was born in the Bohai clan of Liaoyang, smart and capable, according to the custom of Jin, after the death of her husband, the wife should marry the people of the clan, but in order to let the son inherit the inheritance and tribal of Zongfu, the Li family became a nun in Liaoyang, and the youngest son took over the power of the family.

And Wan Yan Yong is also very competitive, his appearance and personality are like his father, he looks very burly, his personality is quiet and clear, and he is good at riding and shooting, once he went hunting, many old people followed to see it, and appreciated his riding and archery skills, and was pushed by the Chinese people to be the first. He is generous, the soldiers are very respectful of him, last year Wan Yan Yong was awarded the Guanglu doctor by the clan, the king of Ge, was selected by the Wushu as one of the key training objects of the family, this is the first time to fight, added as the commander of the Chinese army.

"Da lazy, our troops do not belong to the Song army, why do you just follow and not engage in battle, is it to let us send them out of the country?" Seeing Wan Yan Yong's painful appearance, another young general stood up and asked, of course, the Da lazy in this young man's mouth is not the Da Lazy who failed the coup d'état and descended to the Song Dynasty, but Zuo Shuai Wan Yan Yanying.

"Di Gu Nai, the Song army is in a strict formation and heavily guarded, we can't act rashly!" Wan Yan Yanying smiled bitterly and asked him to sit down and said. If others dare to call the handsome man by his name in the handsome tent, he will have to be beaten dozens of whips if he doesn't die, it is said that the identity of the people in the handsome tent is not low, but Wanyan Yanying has no way to take him, and others dare not squeak, which shows that his identity is even more special.

He is none other than the son of the late Taishi Wanyan Zonggan, the eldest grandson of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, and also the nephew of Wushu, named Wanyan Liang. In addition, due to the special relationship between Zonggan and the emperor Wan Yan Yu, Wan Yan Liang was also particularly taken care of, and at the age of twenty, he became a marching army and a hussar general.

"Don't act rashly, always don't act rashly, we shouldn't let them withdraw from Liaoyang City, but should surround and annihilate them. Now that the Song army has plundered a large number of people and property, if they are allowed to return to Goryeo safely, it will definitely make the morale of the soldiers greatly weakened, how to fight again! Wan Yanliang said indignantly.

"What Di Gu Nai said is reasonable, the Song army has now divided its troops, it seems that there are many people, but in fact, there are very few soldiers that can fight, as long as we continue to harass along the way, so that it is exhausted, it will eventually show flaws, even if it cannot be annihilated, it is better than doing nothing now!" Wan Yan Yong also said.

"I understand the feelings of the two of them seeking battle, but the Taishi has a strict order first, and we are not allowed to engage in battle with the Song army without authorization, so as not to cause losses, we only need to force them to leave the country." Wanyan Yanying was also very helpless to the two imperial relatives, and the Taishi vetoed his plan to use the Song army to retreat to pursue and annihilate, and only ordered him to 'gift' along the way, not allowed to fight, and under their aggressiveness, he could only carry out the Taishi to suppress them.

"Du Shuai, now that the Song army occupies Liaoyang City, and burns and loots along the way, and we have tens of thousands of troops but do nothing, it is rumored in the army that my Dajin has promised the Southern Dynasty to cede the north of Liaoyang in the peace negotiation, and bow down to the vassals, so I am afraid that in a few days, the morale of the army will be completely lost, and I am afraid that I will not be able to fight!" Wan Yanyong said angrily that the enemy who killed his father was close by, but he couldn't do anything, which made it difficult for him to calm down anymore.

"Da lazy, do you have forgotten the hatred of your father and uncle being imprisoned by the Southern Dynasty in the face of the enemy, or do you want to take the opportunity to curry favor with the Song people, hoping that they can release the two adults in the peace negotiation?" Wan Yanliang said with a sneer.

"The humiliation of my father and uncle being captured is not shared, and Da Lazy dares to forget it one day, and he always wants to be able to slash the enemy, and he is ashamed of Xueqi!" Wan Yan Yanying was stabbed in the sore spot in her heart by Wan Yan Liang's words, and said angrily with her palm.

"Three generals, the enemy still needs to be calm, don't forget the instructions of the Taishi, don't raise troops in anger!" Li Cheng, who had been watching for a long time, saw that the three teenagers were all excited, and hurriedly persuaded them, worried that they would be carried away by hatred and act recklessly.

"Hehe, General Li is not forgetting his homeland, thinking about going back one day to ask the old master for a reward!" Li Cheng was just a dog in Wan Yanliang's eyes, and when he saw him interject, he immediately sneered.

"The last general is deeply favored by Jin Guo and Taishi, how can he have a rebellious heart, this time Li is willing to be the forerunner and repay the favor with death!" Li Wei had good intentions, but as soon as he heard this, he couldn't afford to provoke several second-generation officials, so he hurriedly expressed his loyalty, but instead of stopping them, he was forced by the situation to involve himself.

Seeing that there was no objection from several teenagers, they geared up, dispatched troops, and prepared to fight with the retreating Song army...... (To be continued......)
