Chapter 213: North Wind Fierce (3)
The commander of the Liao army, the princess of Shu is here. It is the original section of the state to make the office.
Guo Rong and his generals gathered together, all waiting for the northern Chuanqi to be treated and wake up. The entrance was solemn, and there was no sound in the hall, only Guo Rong was heard standing on the top, walking around, and the sound of leather boots creaking on the floor.
Meng Nuan also sat down, frowning like the others, as if he was also worried about what had happened to the south.
Coming from the north to pass the ride, it is the thirteenth.
This little Xi slave is really ruthless, don't go into the journey of five or six years, he has not slept for three nights, and he has already arrived!
After Wang Gui got the news that day, he immediately sent an envoy to Yingzhou to spread the military information, and then Wang Gui spent two years and one night rushing to Shanyang County to grasp the first-hand military information. Thirteen is the queen of Wang Gui, and then he was ordered to set off. And he actually rushed ahead of the first wave of messengers who transmitted military information!
I don't know how long I waited, but I saw a military general striding in: "It's the envoy sent by the king from Shanyang, Shuozhou!" ”
Everyone is stunned, Shuozhou is already the westernmost part of the territory controlled by the Fuliao Army, and it does not face the three passes of Yanmen in the Song Realm, what can happen there?
The general said in a deep voice: "The Jurchen military horse, from the west, crossed the dangerous road in the mountains, and suddenly came. From west to east, swept Shuozhou! After the king arrived, he burned Shanyang, gathered his soldiers and horses, and retreated to Wuzhou! ”
In the festival hall, there was a sudden uproar, and everyone stood up!
Xijing Datong Mansion is trapped in the mountain basin, out of the basin road, for the army to move only a few. To the south, you must pass through the fortress of Yingzhou. As long as the Yingzhou fortress was held, the Jurchen march path would always be under the threat of the Yingzhou defenders.
This road, in fact, is also winding, even if there is no control of Yingzhou City Fortress. It is also very difficult to pass through the army in winter. Unexpectedly, the Jurchen army Ma Jingran crossed over from a more dangerous place and appeared in the rear of Yingzhou!
(This kind of construction in the key places, at the fortress passes that must be contested, does not mean that the passage is blocked.) Rather, it refers to the location of such a fortress, which can always threaten the movement of the army, the road of military supply. Yingzhou Zhisuo City Fortress - to be exact, it should be called Longshou Village. There is also the three passes of Yanmen where Yue Fei is now stationed, isn't that the case-Oscar pressed) Guo Rong's eyebrows tightened, and she stomped her feet fiercely: "Sit down!" We are here to block the Jurchen Tartars, are we afraid that they will not come? ”
Unexpectedly, Guo Rong and a girl were more calm than these generals, and these generals couldn't help but be a little sneering and sat down one after another.
What position you are in, what you do, and all your bearing are completely different from not being in this position. When Guo Rong heard the news, how could she not panic?
But now she is the head of the first army, guarding the foundation of the surnamed Xiao Nanjin. She must calm down, stabilize the morale of the army, and keep the situation that this man surnamed Xiao is handed over to her!
She looked at the general who was in charge of treating the thirteenth, and asked, "How many Jurchen military horses are there, and who is the commander?" ”
The general saluted and replied: "Princess of Shu, come and make a return." The Jurchen army had about 3,000 regular troops, auxiliary troops, etc. There are more than 10,000 mules and horses, and now Shuozhou is burning, killing, washing and plundering all the way, and coercing the strong as a husband. When he arrived in Shanyang, there were about 10,000 troops............ As for who the commander was, it is unknown that the defenders of Shanyang had not fought with the Jurchen military horses. ”
The generals couldn't help but gasp again. It's all for the sake of entering, knowing that thousands of military horses, such as horses and mules, climb over dangerous situations, such a bad spirit, such a far-reaching and detouring road, how strong and tenacious it must be to do it. Along the way, I don't know how many fell to death, how many mules and horses were broken. After enduring all the hard work, he appeared in Shuozhou, and he was able to attack the dock wall fortress immediately, becoming a sweeping trend. Such a will to fight, such an ability to endure, such an ability to control the organization of the whole army. It will be a capable general, and the army is a strong army! And it's so tough that you can hardly believe it!
Many of the generals had experienced a bloody battle with the Jurchen army in Yandi. At that time, the real female army combined was less than a thousand. The commander of the army, the little prince of the bird, is actually not a capable general.
Rao is like this, Xiao Yan gathered all the elites under his command, and fought back and forth with the Jurchen army of less than a thousand, and the rear relying on Danzhou was in danger under the Jurchen soldiers for a while. Yue Invincible, who was famous in the whole army, was almost not in the Gubeikou formation. With all his might, Xiao Xianmo drew his sword and fought like a pawn at the front several times, which broke the Jurchen army with less than 1,000 entries and drove back.
Now there are thousands of female real soldiers, and there are such bold and decisive commanders!
Guo Rongqiao's face was calm, and she asked: "Is this legend credible?" ”
The general gave a thumbs up: "Lao Tian was in the army that day, and everyone called him thirteen." Although he is young, he is a good man! From Shanyang to here, three nights of sleepless arrived at the scene, and the two horses were all exhausted. has courage, skill, ability and hard work, is a general! Bring the letter to the king and the main survey, I have checked it, I can pat my chest and guarantee! ”
As soon as Guo Rong stretched out his hand, the general immediately presented the letter brought by Thirteen. It's a little ashamed to say it, Guo Rong only knows three or four hundred words at most, and Guo Yaoshi also taught Teacher Yan that day, Guo Rong was so bored that she beat the teacher away.
I looked at the words on the letter in a general way, and then carefully looked at the investigation, and sure enough, it was right.
Guo Rong looked at the letter and patted it on a few cases, and turned his gaze to Tang He, who had been silent: "Fourth Brother Tang, I want to lead the troops to join Brother Wang, and fight with the Jurchen army and horses, so that the states in the clouds will not be eroded, what do you think?" ”
None of the generals expected Guo Rong to be so cheerful, and immediately came up with opinions to deal with the situation in front of him. At this time, they jumped up again: "No! ”
Tang Huai also got up slowly, shook his head and said: "If you transfer me from Danzhou, you will be in Shouying Prefecture, and I will know Shouying Prefecture." ”
Tang Huai is a military general beside him, born in the mink hat capital, and now he is the deputy capital of the Yingzhou army in Yingzhou, and he is Tang Huai's deputy. Tang Huai's words have always been simple, so he stood up and explained to Guo Rong in detail.
“………… Princess, although the Jurchen military horses are strong and tenacious, they can climb over the dangerous roads in the mountains in the ice and snow, and suddenly kill Yingzhou. Although it was a big surprise, Bi Jing was not on the right path for the army. What else could there be besides the baggage and straw that the army carried? The states in Yunnei are all poor, and they have to be driven into the Song Dynasty to eat. How much military money can the Jurchens capture? ”
His eyes were blazing, looking at Guo Rong. Guo Rong also listened carefully with a calm face.
“………… As long as you keep Yingzhou, then the thousands of Jurchen will be in the states of Yunnei, and what will they do? We have ............ in the south Army. In the north, Yingzhou is stuck in the passage from Xijing to Yunnei Prefecture. Don't wait for the beginning of spring, and the hunger will collapse these thousands of Jurchen troops! Either you will go back and forth obediently, or you will kill the horses and endure hardship. After the horses are killed, these Jurchen Tartars are very majestic, and they have to lose seven points! When the time comes, the army will gather, and then fight with the Jurchen Tartars, I won't believe it, they are all iron? A shot is stabbed, and a big hole is opened in the stomach, can you still not die? ”
This army general looked vicious, as if he had seen his own gun, stabbing the Jurchen Tartars to death countless times. The wind changed, and he talked about Yingzhou again.
“………… If the Jurchen Tartars can sneak through the mountains and mountains to the west, can't they send a military horse to approach Yingzhou? In case we come out lightly, the Jurchen military horses will attack horizontally, and the last general will be ashamed, with the current military horse, it will be difficult to ensure that it can be complete! When the time comes, let the Jurchen Tartars take advantage of the chaos to take Yingzhou, and the Xijing Datong Mansion will receive a steady stream of money. At that time, the states of Yunnei really couldn't be saved, and before the Jurchen soldiers pressed the three passes, how could we ............ Confess to the princess? ”
The general understood the analysis and nodded his head in the audience.
No matter how strong the Jurchen Tartars are, they still have to fight as much as possible to fight a favorable situation, and they must also have food to eat and forage to feed the horses. Now there is the main force of the Shenwu Changsheng Army in Hedong, as long as Yingzhou is held. The Jurchen military horses are the entire territory of the states in the clouds, and according to the ruined scenes of the states, it is difficult to support the long-term battle of the Jurchen Tatars. And it has always been a lone army, and the strategic situation is extremely bad.
As long as it is because of the changes in Hedong, Xiao Xianmo's position in Bianliang will be stabilized. After the integration of the forces of the whole army. Are you afraid that you won't be able to drive these thousands of Jurchen Tartars back? With proper planning, it is not difficult to leave more than half of it.
In the final analysis, if everyone is really Liao into the remnants. According to the states of Yunnei thought that the foundation of rejuvenation, the adventurous move of the Jurchen Tartars was hit at the key point. The Fuliao army was forced to concentrate the military horses scattered in various places and fight with the Jurchen Tatars in order to keep this territory from erosion, and to provide more material resources for the Fuliao army in the future.
With the strength of the Jurchen army, you can find every opportunity to break through.
But everyone is the Song Army under Xiao Xianmo, and they run here, so they don't have any arms. Whether or not they can firmly establish their rule is an incidental matter, and it is not the main purpose of everyone going north.
What if the states of Yunnei beat the Jurchen Tartars to pieces?
Although this area belongs to the sixteen states of Yanyun, since the Song Dynasty, I have never forgotten to restore it. However, Bi Jing has been isolated from the heart of the Great Song Dynasty for more than 100 years. Emotionally and if the Jurchen Tartars go deep into Hedong, they are two completely different things.
As long as you hold Yingzhou, you will be undefeated!
The general finally saluted Guo Rong: "But please princess guard Yingzhou and wait for reinforcements from the south." then invincible! As long as the city works together and does not change, then the city of Yingzhou will be strong, how can the Jurchen Tartars gnaw it? How many people will be killed in this Yingzhou city! ”
Speaking of fighting together and not changing, the general couldn't help but glance at Meng Nuan, who was sitting among the generals. All eyes turned around. Guo Rong's gaze also fell on Meng Nuan, and she said in a low voice: "General Meng." ”
Meng Nuan got up slowly, looking as usual. Bow to Guo Rong.
Guo Rong asked softly: "General Meng, have you been patrolling around recently, can you find any changes?" ”
Meng Nuan muttered: "The subordinates are incompetent, and they have not found any abnormal movements, nor have they found any traces of the enemy. And the matter of patrolling, if the last general enters, maybe what other generals can see, is also a matter of certainty. ”
The generals were silent, of course, patrolling the sentry was not just a matter for Meng Nuan. Everyone led the army, but no trace of the enemy was found. But no matter whether there are Jurchen Tatars lurking in Yingzhou, you must not leave Yingzhou lightly!
Guo Rong nodded and did not speak. Meng Nuan unconsciously looked at him with a always guarded gaze, and asked proudly: "My subordinates have some worries, and I want to give them to the princess." ”
Guo Rong nodded: "You can say it." ”
Meng Nuan frowned and said, "What the generals said, you have to wait for the army in the south. General Zhen's department, although not weak. Whether it can break the Jurchen Tartars, I'm afraid it's hard to say. What should be done if General Zhen in the south is not to be trusted? ”
Guo Rong frowned, and the rest of the generals also frowned.
Could it be that he said to Meng Nuan, in fact, we are the Song army, and there is still a Shenwu Changsheng army with 10,000 thousands of elite infantry cavalry troops on Hedong Road, and together with Zhen Liuchen's department, it is not difficult to get together 20,000 capable of fighting the regular army. There are also elite generals like Han Yue in command.
As long as Xiao Xianmo can stabilize his position and return energy sources, he will be supported by the entire Dasonghe East Road. We have also fought bloody battles with the Jurchen Tartars, and we have seen how powerful they are, and I believe that there is such a power that is enough to break these thousands of Jurchen Tartars?
No matter how simple Guo Rong is, she is not so simple.
A military general smiled reluctantly: "Old Meng, your service time is still shallow, and the strength of the Fuliao Army has never been well understood............ The loyal ministers and righteous men who served under the princess's command, how much more than General Zhen Liuchen? There are also elite soldiers and strong generals, which are worthy of a battle. Just put your heart in your stomach............ Steadfastly help the princess to defend Yingzhou, and you will not be able to take credit for it when the time comes! ”
Meng Nuan nodded, didn't say anything more, and still sat back in his seat with a calm expression. Looking at his actions, many generals felt unhappy inexplicably, but they couldn't say why.
The eyes of everyone turned to Guo Rong, who was still silent.
But for the military, you have to be ordered by the commander. Although Guo Rong is a woman, everyone can only follow her decision. If even the commander-in-chief's order is not good in the army, it cannot be called an army. What's more, behind Guo Rong, standing is Xiao Xianmo!
Everything that needs to be said has been said, and the current situation has been analyzed clearly. I just hope that Guo Rong won't be hot-headed, and is really ready to lead the army to fight with the Jurchen Tartars immediately!
Guo Rong lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and when the generals' hearts were about to jump out of the cavity, he said softly: "Guard Yingzhou!" The generals each led the defense, which was assigned by Brother Tang. Where something happens, I will seek responsibility and speak! The army has its own military law! It is also necessary to send more sentinels to watch the movements of Yingzhou and maintain collusion with Brother Wang at any time............ That's it! ”
All the generals gasped loudly, got up together, and saluted Guo Rong: "The princess is wise!" There will be the end waiting, Yingzhou is like Mount Tai's peace! ”
After the sound of footsteps was staggered and loud, the generals left one after another. Guo Rong stopped Tang Huai, looked at Meng Nuan's back in the group, and said in a low voice: "Fourth Brother Tang, keep an eye on this surnamed Meng!" Since you have decided to stay here, there must be no omission! ”
Tang Huai nodded quietly and turned away.
In the festival hall, only Guo Rong was left after entering, she couldn't hold it and sat down softly.
This time to the north, has driven the people of the states in Yunnei into the Song Realm in the ice and snow, so waiting, I don't know how many of them are tossing and turning between the ravines. Now it is necessary to put the Jurchen Tartars in the states of Yunnei. What innocent are the people here?
Because of her banner as the princess of Shu, she recruited the Jurchen Tartars in this winter, and a catastrophe was inevitable. The only grain left by these people was to be collected and looted for the Jurchen Tartars. The old and weak slaughtered him, and the strong followed the army. In the end, I don't know how much will be left!
Is a man's career so cruel?
“………… Bad in, you really want to come early............ You're too late, and I'll see you again............"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Xijing Datong Mansion, the second day of the second month of February in the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty.
A large group of Jurchen armor soldiers, surrounded by huge white flags, went straight into the city like dragons.
And the Jurchen generals left behind in the city all greeted them in person. With the arrival of the flag, the entrance to the capital fell to the ground.
At this moment, the Jurchen really doesn't have a good etiquette. Even if he is able to complete Yan Yinshu, he is also called by his name. But the one who returned to Xijing at this moment was Jin Guoyi, who was extremely strong and finished Yan Zonghan!
Under the begging of the gold lord Wanyan Wu, it was only Wanyan Zonghan who entered.
After going to Beijing for a while, the newly rising Jurchen nobles also engaged in a fierce power struggle after Yan Agu was killed. And the final winners are Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zonghan.
Wu begged to buy Shun Lì as a younger brother and took over the throne of the Jin State. And Wan Yan Zonghan stood on the right side at a critical time. Make a deal with Wanyan Wu begging. Acquired the status of a fierce man. The important affairs of the Jin ** country are all judged by its ordinary chapters. Even if he had to be enshrined in Ban Bo Jilie, Wu Qimai regarded as the younger brother of the prince, Wan Yan Gao, couldn't suppress Zong Han.
And the other sons of Wanyan Aguta have never obtained the status of Bo Jilie, and in terms of name, they are below the sons of the country's prime minister.
In real history, Zong Han also poured Jin Guo because of this power, and it was not until more than ten years later that he was stripped of the ** handle by Jin Xizong, and died of anger in less than a month.
The news of going to Beijing, although the Zonghan brigade was passed on in front, it had already been learned by the Jurchen generals who stayed in Xijing Datong Mansion. In front of such a Zonghan, all the generals bowed down to the dust and waited respectfully.
Under the white tower, Zong Han, who was guarded by the armor soldiers, rode out, looked at the generals who were waiting for him, glanced at them, and asked loudly: "What about the silver arts?" What about Lou Room? ”
The generals left behind, led by Wanyan Xiyin. He is far less important than Yinshu and Lou Mur De Zong Han. At that time, he didn't approve of Yinshu being able to venture deep alone, and replied at the moment: "Yinshu can lead 4,000 troops with Lou Room to attack Yunnei!" What kind of Liao army is there there, and it is still the commander of the princess of the Liao Kingdom! ”
Zong Han frowned and dismounted: "Yingzhou has been defeated?" ”
Wanyan Xiyin knelt on one knee and replied sullenly: "No!" Yinshu Ke and Lou Room are to go around to the west, climb over the dangerous mountains and enter alone! I'm against it, but what's the deal? ”
Zong Han frowned: "Get up and talk about it!" ”
Wanyan Xiyin stood up and said honestly. At this moment, the Jurchen generals, in addition to being ferocious and barbaric, are indeed quite honest. There is no act of adding fuel and vinegar and falling into the well.
In Wanyan Xiyin's opinion, Zong Han is not there, and Yinshu Ke and Lou Room will lead the army lightly. The Jurchen military horses of Xijing Datong Mansion took away a small half, and no matter how you count it, it is also acting without permission. Zong Han has always been irritable and self-authorized, how can he tolerate two moves?
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Zong Han laughed: "The comfortable Datong Mansion is not willing to stay, but it is willing to take risks, enter a desperate situation, and fight for his life." is worthy of being a good man! Yinshu can be like this with Lou Room, how can someone be left behind? If you don't go into the city, what does those dilapidated palace rooms smell like? When in the Yanfu Palace of the Southern Dynasty, the emperor of the Southern Dynasty was drunk, and his life was in vain! Xi Yin, mobilize troops and horses, prepare military supplies, and go south with a certain person! Sweep the states of Yunnei, and then go to Nanchao Hedong Road! ”
Wanyan Xiyin was shocked and sweated: "Are you going to attack the Southern Dynasty?" ”
Zong Han nodded proudly: "This should have been the case a long time ago............ It is mainly oblique, and Zongwang is the secondary, and the soldiers are divided into two roads. The plan was to prepare for a large-scale attack on the Southern Dynasty after it stopped. They are slowly taking off, not for a year or two, and it is rare to move from Shangjing. I was too lazy to wait for them, so I went to see the reality of the Southern Dynasty first! ”
Zong Han is like this, what else does Wanyan Xiyin have to say. But as a general under Zong Han, who doesn't know that Zong Han's diligent pursuit is to attack the Southern Dynasty? What kind of bird official did Zong Han have with the Southern Dynasty, and there was a great feud for killing his son? In order to set up Hema, Zong Han also wanted to invade the territory of the Southern Dynasty earlier, kill and plunder, and take some interest for the blood feud of Hema. If it is a qiē shun lì, Zong Han may not have the mind to go straight to Bianliang!
At that moment, Yan Xiyin shouted the order, and all the Jurchen generals also jumped up, and went to order the troops and horses one after another, preparing to go out on the expedition.
Wanyan Xiyin asked again: "Where are you going?" ”
Zong Han laughed: "Naturally go to Yingzhou!" The silver technique can be out with the Lou room, and a certain person doesn't believe that Yingzhou can't take it! ”
(To be continued)
