The first battle of Liaojin
Wanyan Agu defeated Gao Xianshou and attacked Ningjiang Prefecture, and his strength and prestige rose sharply!
A question: At this time, what will Aguta, who has always known to be fierce and murderous, and full of hatred for the Liao State, do? Will he slaughter Ningjiang Prefecture and vent his long-suppressed anger? With the barbarism of the Jurchens, it is entirely possible! But the fact is: Ah Guta not only did not kill anyone, but secretly released the leader of Ningjiang Prefecture and let him return to Liao. In this way, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he will reveal the news that the Jurchens are not murderous, and there is no need to fight with them...
On the other hand, with this victory as a call, Aguta summoned all the students and mature women to move closer to him, and included the Bohai people, and we welcome all the strength that can be strengthened!
On October 1st, Wanyan Agu broke through Ningjiang Prefecture! The battle of Ningjiangzhou in the first battle of Liaojin was won by Yan Agu!
At the same time, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo convened a pre-imperial meeting, and the magnates of the Liao State unanimously decided to take this enemy seriously!
Sikong Xiao Si was the capital of the Northeast Road, and Xiao Tzu was not also the deputy commander of the Jingjiang Army, leading 3,000 Khitan and Xi coalition troops, 2,000 Zhongjing forbidden troops and local tyrants, and more than 2,000 warriors from all walks of life, stationed in Chuhedian!
A total of more than 7,000 troops has far exceeded the upper limit of the Jurchens! It seems that Yelu Yanxi is ruthless this time, and wants to beat Wanyan Agu and pinch this Wanyan Jurchen to death! The Liao army was very fast, gathering troops, preparing supplies, and marching quickly, and it took more than ten days to reach the destination - Chuhedian, now Zhaoyuan in Heilongjiang.
The Liao army is fast, and Ah Gu is even faster, he not only rushed over with people and took the initiative to attack, but also completed a very remarkable thing in the past few days! He reorganized the army!
Originally, when the Jurchens fought, although they had a commander-in-chief every time, they were specifically in battle. are all rushed up according to family blood. This is too primitive, although the father and son soldiers are cohesive, but firstly, it is not conducive to unified command, secondly, the military power is scattered, and Ah Guda has no absolute authority...
Now, Wanyan Aguta has established a fierce security restraint system, every 300 households is a Mouke (centurion), every 10 Mouke is a Meng'an (thousand), so that he manages the thousand-necked, the thousand-strong manages the centurion, and the centurion manages the soldiers below... Layer by layer concrete. Like an arm making a finger.
Don't underestimate this! This is definitely an epoch-making feat! Thinking of Bai Ding, who has not received any militarization training, in the land of East Asia, only two or three people can do it for thousands of years! One of them is the man who stands at the pinnacle of military prowess for all mankind more than 100 years later... With that person's strength, it will not be realized until many years after the switch. And Wanyan Agu fought in just one battle, quickly integrated his army, seized the highest and sole command, and implemented it in more than ten days, this speed is really amazing!
Back to the battlefield. The actions of the Jurchens are hidden, and there are few of them when they come, huh? It's a little bit more than last time, there are nearly 4,000 people. Second, there is a deliberate attempt to hide traces. They were all people who went into the mountains to hunt, advanced in the severe cold wind and snow, and soon quietly came to the bank of the Mingtong River (now the Songhua River)...
In November, the battle of the second battle of Liaojin began! Who will win and lose this time?
It all starts with sleeping at night. I've been running for most of the day. No matter how strong the Jurchens are, they have to rest, and Wanyan Aguda is no exception, he lies down. I can't sleep. The history books say that he strongly asked to sleep as many as three times, but they were all interrupted, and each time someone grabbed him by the neck at the head of his bed and pulled him up... How do you sleep on this? What's even more bizarre is that he turns around, only to find that there is no one behind him...
Ah Gu couldn't sleep, he muttered to himself, "This is the fairy warning me, don't let me sleep" He went out to gather the team and told everyone about the arrival of the fairy. So all the Jurchens were immediately energetic. A bone beat, he has a fairy cover! Once this concept is formed, its power is immeasurable. Think about the Song people who entered the mature period of feudal society, and they all worshiped the gods and threw themselves to the ground, so how much would the half-primitive and semi-slave Jurchen tribe worship the gods? At this time, no matter what Aguda says, all the Jurchens will actively and happily do it...
Ah Guda said don't sleep, immediately approach the Liao people, attack! The Jurchens rushed out of the river excitedly, and quickly approached the Mingtong River in the cold winter night. When they reached the river, it was already slightly light, and then they saw the situation on the other side. At this moment, they were convinced of the relationship between the gods and Aguta...
I saw that on the frozen river, the Liao people were digging through the ice, what does this mean in the season of dripping water into ice? It was by no means that Xiao Sixian suddenly had a whim and wanted to learn from his emperor what kind of fish feast, he wanted to chisel through the ice of the Tongjiang River once and for all, and separate the Jurchens on the other side!
With the tribal strength of the Jurchens, with their rudimentary marching tools, it was simply impossible to carry a warship. In this kind of weather, it is impossible to cut down large trees to build ships, so once the ice breaks, this fight cannot be fought. Unless the Jurchens choose another way...
I have to admit: Xiao Sixian's ideas are very advanced, and he has a bit of a taste of surrendering without a fight, and he really sees the key to the advantages and disadvantages between the enemy and us. But here's what's terrible: he can't predict Yan Aguta's strange sleep encounter... Facts have proven: Whether it is really an immortal who pulls Ah Gu's head, or Ah Guda himself anticipates the actions of the Liao army, and even says it in the name of the immortal. Which point is enough to ruin Xiao Sixian's layout!
Standing by the Chaotong River in the early hours of the morning, Wanyan Aguda said to his subordinates behind him: Send someone over and cut down all the ice chisels!
The Battle of Chuhedian, the first decisive battle of the corps that decided the fate of the Jurchens, began like this! They jumped over the frozen Tongtong River and killed the Liao people who were digging the ice... Behind them, all the Jurchens rushed up, a total of more than 3,700 people, this is all the belongings of Wanyan Aguta. Today, 900 years later, guessing how he felt at that time, he should be more apprehensive and wary... He was afraid that the Liao army would quickly assemble and crush him on the surface of the river, and at that time there would be no shelter, and the light of arrows would be enough to bury them in the mixed river. That's why he had to send a very small number of people to kill him first, and try to solve the outpost of the Liao army in as little movement as possible... He succeeded, and the Jurchens killed the other side, and the Liao people were alert and gathered all the men and horses to rush over...
Decisive Battle of the Corps! The first decisive battle of the corps in the history of the Jurchens began! Even if they estimate optimistically, if they want to defeat the well-equipped and battle-hardened Liao army, they will have to pay a considerable price. But this day is destined to be a supernatural day for the completion of Yan Agu's fight, maybe the gods really exist and are carried by him? After wrestling his head in the middle of the night, he appeared on time again and gave him the greatest help!
A strong wind suddenly blew when the two armies met. Northwest winds on the frozen land. Blowing from behind the Jurchens and blowing towards the Liao people on the opposite side... It's not too soon, it's not too late, but it's scraping up at this time... The Liao people are tragic, the Jurchens not only have a hundred years of hatred, strong physique, and shrewd leadership, but also carry the northwest wind with them, how can this battle be fought? They were routed all the way, full of dead and wounded, and fled for dozens of miles before they got rid of the pursuit... After the war, only 17 of the more than 7,000 Liao troops survived.
Opposite. I've made a lot of money! His Jurchen corps snowballed. The source of the personnel, except for the raw and mature tribes vying to squeeze around him, is the prisoner of this battle... The Jurchen Corps, and the stronger Mongol Corps in the future, their personnel composition is not simply their own people, they have the ability to take the captured prisoners, these people who were originally mortal enemies, quickly assimilated, and became the same combat effectiveness as themselves. This assimilation is incredible. Those who have been assimilated, even if they return to the battlefield and face their own people of the same bloodline, can raise the butcher's knife. Kill bloody, kill happily... Human nature is always an unsolvable mystery...
Putting aside human nature and talking about reality. After this battle, the Jurchens reached a critical point. This point is a number that has been repeated twice in the history of the past thousand years, and has caused headaches and horrors for all ethnic groups - the number of Jurchen regiments has reached 10,000!
The phrase "Jurchen is less than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible" appeared in the late Northern Song Dynasty. brought about the collapse of the Great Liao Empire. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it reappeared, so that the whole territory of China fell for the second time, and the Han nation was once again ruled by foreign races... About the origin of this phrase. There are many different versions. Some people say that it is the boasting of the Jurchens and the Houjin people themselves. Some people say that this is a historical fact, a lament in the defeat of the countries that were hostile to it back then. Needless to say, these two statements contain national complexes, including the pride of the Manchus themselves, and the resentment of the defeated race...
The battle of Chuhedian was won again, but the excited Wanyan Agu did not know what to do, at this time his greater luck was not by his side, but in the center of the distant Great Liao Empire. There, he received even greater benefits ... That is the biggest and most wonderful harvest of the battle of Dehedian!
This matter should start after the defeat of the Liao army, and the former commander-in-chief of the Liao army was called Xiao Sixian. On the 21st, the camp he had set up in Luan, where he had been entrenched, was attacked and broken by Aguta and his men, and many people died. But he ran wildly all the way, and finally avoided the Jurchens far away. It's safe for the time being, but in the blink of an eye, I'm feeling sad... He failed, led more than 70,000 regular troops, and lost to the uncivilized mud-legged savages, this person could not afford to lose the Great Liao State, once lost, his Xiao Sixian's life was a cover-up. When this happens, his head is about to fall to the ground!
But don't be afraid, he has a good brother named Xiao Fengxian. In the final analysis: in this era, in the huge whirlpool of the transformation of the fate of Liao and Jin, the person who played the real dominant position was neither the Great Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi, nor the Jin hero Wanyan Aguta. Tracing back to the source, the person who made everything happen, deteriorate, and finally out of control is the third traitor of Daliao!
At the head fish banquet more than 2 years ago, when Ah Guda refused to act, Yelu Yanxi wanted to kill him, but Xiao Fengxian stopped him. This is the first time that Xiao Fengxian has changed the fate of Liaojin and Jinjin.
More than 2 years later, after the defeat of the Liao army in the Battle of Chuhedian, Xiao Feng did the second thing first. He thought of his dear brother. Think no matter what happens, you can't let your brother die? So he used his brains and came up with a sentence: "Your Majesty, how to deal with the defeated soldiers in the river shop?" If they want to do things according to the rules, they will be afraid of death and will not come back, and they will become bandits outside and endanger the country" Yelu Yanxi thought about it, yes, this is very likely? Anyway, they are all defeated, and they are not guilty... No! The leader still has to be punished? Punish and dismiss officials, cut down posts for the people!
So on the 23rd, Xiao Sixian just lost a title, and he could return to the capital from Chuhedian in a dashing manner, and still live his lucky life. With such an extraordinary big brother, do you still need to worry about gold and silver treasures, fragrant cars, and beauties? These were all seen by the Liao military, and they looked at it coldly, and they came to a conclusion in anger that "war is useless." If you lose, you will live without sin" so who else will contribute to the country? Who else will follow military regulations? Once this logic is formed, the blow to the morale of the Liao army will be fatal! They were discouraged and fundamentally lost the iron-blooded spirit of the Khitans to build a country!
Looking back on this incident, it proves once again the truth - there are countless ways to kill miracles with a superpower vs a fledgling nation, and no matter how brave a person or a fierce race is, it is useless! The absolute superiority of the national strength, the number of people occupies the absolute chance of winning. The reason why we can't win is completely due to human factors! I don't know that the so-called monarchs and ministers buried everything, and it was they who gave victory to the challengers! The demise of Liao and the fall of Song have all verified this truth!
On the 30th, the Great Liao Northwest Road recruited Yelu Liduo to be appointed as the commander of the marching army. Xiao Yixue and Yelu Zhangnu are the deputy commanders, and they once again led the army to quell the rebellion!
In December, the three prefectures of Xian, Bin, and Xiang of the Great Liao Kingdom, as well as the Tieli and Wuja tribes, all surrendered to Wanyan Aguta! Xiao Yixue led his army to Pennsylvania. Shi Lou, Telie and other generals of the Southern Army went to Xianzhou. But they were all defeated by Wanyan Agu!
At this point, Aguta's cousin Wanyan Sagai and his own brother Wanyan Wu Qimai (the future Jin Taizong) persuaded Aguda to enter again, and after winning the battle of Chuhedian and reaching 10,000 troops, he finally had the bottom of his heart and agreed to the request of his subordinates.
Eyes turned back to the Great Song Dynasty: On November 10, the immortal Wang Laozhi passed away. He became famous after writing the private words of Liu Guifei when she served Zhao Ji with her sisters during her lifetime, and the high-ranking officials and wealthy bosses in the capital came to him to ask about his future. The method is to measure the word, a word for life, a word for wealth... What a spirit! Every day, it's crowded. After a long time, Cai Jing was furious. Cai Jing has a reason to be angry. Originally, all the officialdom had already treated Cai Jing as if he were his own father. Now Wang Laozhi suddenly came out to grab business. After his calculations, the officials had a bottom in their hearts, and correspondingly, Cai Jing's deterrence was greatly reduced...
Cai Jing wrote a concerto, asking Zhao Ji to order the scholars to strictly prohibit fortune-telling and maintain the discipline of the official team!
Wang Laozhi was silent, he closed the door and refused to see guests, usually he lived a frugal life more hard, only ate one meal a day, all meals were just 4 taels of soup cakes, plus 1 set of winter and summer clothes... (To be continued......)
