Chapter 144: Advance and Retreat
The Jurchens chased the defeated and fleeing Liao soldiers, and like they used to hunt deer, they were divided into squads of different sizes, outflanked and scattered, and trampled groups of panicked Khitans like headless flies under the hooves of horses.
Chased to the happy place, even the frustration of the army's defeat at the hands of Ximen Qing seemed to be dissolved by half - at this time, happy and sad, Taiji did not come, pulled out a group of people and horses, and collided with the Jurchens.
Looking at the clothes and makeup, this group of people and horses belonged to the Khitans, but after the battle, the Jurchens were stunned to find that they were also Khitans, but this group of people and horses was very unfamiliar. In the current mindset of the Jurchens, the Khitans are a group of timid as rats, even if they occasionally burst out with a trace of resistance by the Purple River, but soon became the end of the crossbow, under their own heavy blows, only the part of the embarrassed escape - but this group of Khitans who were killed halfway out, they are completely different from the Khitans they met before, they are silent, firm, brave, fearless, even if they face the Jurchens head-on, they are a tooth for a tooth and an eye for an eye between riding and shooting, and the Jurchens can't take advantage of them!
On the battlefield, he noticed that there were more and more Jurchens in this group of strange Khitans, and the order was passed straight down - after Yan Aguta, he immediately knew that the Khitans actually had a strong response man. After discussing with Wanyan Zong, Wanyan Agu gave an order, and the poor Kou Mo chased after him, and broke away from contact with the Khitans.
But soon a new war report arrived in front of Wanyan Aguta—or an obituary would be more appropriate—that Tuyunu was killed in battle, and his squad was wiped out, and no one survived. The enemy was cruel, and even lifted the head of the concubine Niangniang on the high pole to show the public, many young women and true warriors could not bear this humiliation, and bravely broke through the battle, wanting to snatch the body of the Niangniang back, but they were all hated on the battlefield.
Hearing the bad news, Yuan Yuan cried loudly on the spot, and all the girls really lost their color. Only Wanyan Aguta's face was as usual, but Wanyan Zongyong keenly found that the wolf lord's eyebrows and sideburns seemed to be a little older than the previous moment, if the former Wanyan Aguda was as majestic as a mountain, then now this mountain has been wrapped in ice and snow, still majestic, but it has been lonely and cold.
To tell the truth, Wanyan Aguda also wants to cry and lose his voice like Yuan Yuan, and indulge himself, after all, since the day Tu Yunu followed him, he has made quite meritorious contributions, and the Jurchen opened the country, during which she has a share of credit, and when it comes to gentle ironing, intimate understanding, and even more above the other six wives - such a lovely person like nephrite flowers, today is separated by yin and yang forever, how can it not make people want to break the liver and intestines, and there are tears?
But he can't! Because he is Wanyan Aguta -- as the emperor of the Dajin Kingdom and the co-leader of the Jurchen tribes, his every move represents not only himself, but also the common will of tens of millions of people. When bad luck comes, if you show weakness first, how will others rely on you? When everyone discovers that you are not a strong embankment to protect them, this new empire will quietly dissolve from within!
Although Wanyan Aguta is unwilling to lose the woman he loves, he can't lose his beloved country! The Jurchen Wanyan Department has grown from weak to strong, from small to large, and how much effort has been poured into it! But now that the great cause has not been accomplished, fate has snatched the woman he loves the most to the altar of sacrifice, in this case, even his own humanity is taken away! I'd rather be an emotionless shell than protect this nascent empire for the sake of the dead!
In a silent and qualitative panic, Wanyan Agu was like cold snow, and asked casually: "But I don't know who the opponent is?" ”
The reporter was unable to answer. The people in front of them were sniped by Yelu Dashi in a hurry, and they finally stabilized their positions, but in a short period of time, where could they find out the details of the other party?
Suddenly, he heard a roar, and a kick flew next to him, kicking over this futile but useless mourner-Wanyan Zongwang jumped out, and shouted at Wanyan Agu: "Father! Qi'e Niang was killed by those Liao dogs who killed a thousand knives, if I don't retaliate back, my Dajin Kingdom will have no light on its face, and it will be looked down upon, how can I still suppress the luck of Liaodong at that time? The child is brave, ask his father to take back the fate of the retreating army, and go to the enemy to fight to the death with Liaogou! ”
When Tu Yunu was still alive, he was good to Wanyan Zongwang and these juniors, smiling lightly, looking forward to life, and often had eye-catching benefits sent down, and he was the goddess in the hearts of these children - anyway, the Jurchen customs have not changed, the atmosphere is open, what uncle takes sister-in-law, son accepts father and wife, it is commonplace, even if Tu Yunu mocks these children, no one can say that she is not - today Jin Shen Lishui, jade broken Kungang, and the goddess will never see each other again, a thought of this, so that Wanyan Zongwang and others can not be sad? Listening to the upside down of the report, he couldn't even say the name of the enemy, Wanyan Zongwang was angry from his heart, and evil was born to the side of the guts, if it wasn't for the fact that he was not allowed to be presumptuous in front of his father, he would have killed people a long time ago, where can it be done with just a light kick?
Under the indignation, Wanyan Zongwang came out to ask for battle, and Wanyan Zonggan and others joined him, shouting into a pot of boiling porridge.
"Needless to say, this must be Yelu Yu's trick to see that Liao Dog laid a trick to kill Qi's mother! Yelu Yu saw that this dog thief was not removed, what face did our Dajin still have standing between heaven and earth? I asked my father to take back his previous order, and our brigade will first kill Yelu Yujian, and then it's not too late to return to the army! ”
"If you don't snatch back the corpse of the concubine, our Jurchens will lose their faces! Please give the order of the wolf master, and the young general's subordinates are willing to fight in the front! ”
"I wonder, wasn't the main force of the Liao State completely annihilated by Ximen Qing during the Battle of Yanyun Concession? Where did these Liao people come out of now? Listening to what the brothers in front of me said, the combat effectiveness of these Liao dogs cannot be underestimated! Putting such a group of people behind us will do a lot of harm but no benefit, so it's better to destroy them first, and when we rest on the way back to the division, we will also settle down - the gains and losses in this, please see the wolf master! ”
……
In an instant, the military tent was boiling, speaking in unison, and the words asking for war were so loud that Yan Zong was deaf with his ears.
Wanyan Sect secretly complained in his heart. Seeing that he had crossed the Purple River and was one step closer to the nest, who knew that he would collide with this thing again in the middle of the road! The top priority now is to shake off Ximenqing's pursuit and drag out the grain route of his army -- from the Central Plains, from Yanyun to Liaodong, the road is worn and lost, and the journey of thousands of miles has become a drop in the bucket, and the soldiers are inevitably hungry, although the Chinese Federation is rich, but I don't believe that Ximen Qing can help but go through the vast space of the grassland and desert! At that time, the soldiers had no food and were in chaos, so they only had to deal with Ximenqing, and the people of the Liao country became a source of water and a tree without roots, a pearl of rice grains, and what glory could be released? If you want to clean them up at that time, what is the difficulty of sticking out your fingers and pinching a bed bug to death?
It's good now, these guys who are carried away by the blood have to take the risk of being flanked by Ximenqing before and after, and entangle with those Liao people who suffer from ringworm and scabies! As soon as the soldiers are fought, how can they be solved suddenly? In case at this time, Ximen Qinglu's light cavalry swept from behind, and Daikin Guoyun was rested!
Wanyan Sect scolded these rabbit cubs for putting the cart before the horse, and at the same time organized the bold words in his stomach to exclude the public - this is a battle of tens of millions, the strength is uneven, and he is sick, how easy is it to cage these wild horses out of control? But for the grace of the wolf lord's knowledge, for the rise of the Dajin Kingdom, and for the trampling of Ximen Qing under his feet - he has to fight for the Yan Sect!
Just as Wan Yan Zong was desperately preparing to amplify his moves, he heard Yan Agu scream: "You guys! What a mess! ”
After seeing that Yan Agu hated the iron and pestled his fingers to the Jurchens, he hated and said: "Brother Zongyong also told you the "Art of War", you must not be angry and rejuvenate, and Shuai cannot fight in anger, have you all remembered the teachings of these predecessors in the dog's belly?" We're running away now! Ximen Qing is far away, don't say it, just say it's close - go to find Liaogou for revenge, if you can go down with a drum, it's just that, don't move up the time, what about the grain and grass? At that time, people had no food, horses and no food, so eat you? Or eat me?! ”
Wanyan Aguda's eyes widened, Wanyan Sect made up his mind with his heart - the wolf lord is worthy of being a wise master, speaking with facts, and successfully dismantling the conjectures of these Jurchen stupid donkeys! The day before yesterday, the army was defeated, the Jurchens fled in a panic, and there was not much food with them. It's inevitable to make ends meet. Now if you are blinded by hatred and entangled with the Liao people for a long time, you don't need Ximen Qing to kill, and your own family will starve to death first.
The Jurchens who were impassionedly asking for war were dumbfounded and shut up after hearing that Yan Agu was planning to set up an economic account. Only the first bird, Wanyan Zongwang, continued to fire cannons under the effect of inertia: "Father, our Jurchen warriors are eight hundred and one hundred thousand, where are those Liao dogs our opponents?" If you can succeed in this battle, what will it be called at that time as the grandson said? That's right, it's 'because of the food for the enemy'! Robbed the baggage of the Liao people, let's be happy! ”
Before the words fell, Wanyan Zongwang had already been beaten by Wanyan Agu and spat on his face: "Ahhhh I'll spit on your face! You Lao Tzu and I have worked hard to create such a great foundation, you are good, between the life and death of the military affairs, but you bet with me about 'what if' comes! You loser, you only draw a nose on a piece of paper, you have such a strong face! ”
After a bloody shower, Yan Zongwang couldn't touch the door after scolding, so he had to stand up straight and be scraped, and said in a loud voice: "Ama has taught me a lesson, the child should die!" ”
At this time, Yuan Yuan, who had been silent, stood up: "The emperor is angry and listens to the words of the concubine." ”
For his fifth wife, Wan Yan Aguda has always respected him, and when he heard the words, he couldn't care about criticizing Yan Zongwang again, so he turned around and nodded to Yuan Yuan: "Concubine Ai has something to say, although it is okay to say it." ”
Yuan Yuan said lightly: "Your Majesty, when the concubine saved the life of the Wushu child in Mantou Mountain the day before yesterday, she seized a lot of grain and grass, which was enough to support our army for a year. As for the pursuit of the strong enemy Ximen Qing - think that when our Jurchens are weak, the strong enemy will not chase after them every day, and our Jurchens will not fight every day, chasing and fleeing guerrillas, our Jurchens will become stronger and stronger the more they fight, and finally laid a great foundation for today - is it true that today's male lord is not as good as yesterday's ancestors? ”
After speaking, Yuan Yuan gave a salute to Wanyan Agu and stepped aside.
There was silence in the tent, and Wanyan Sect used and Wanyan Ah Gu to beat their hearts, but they all set off turbulent waves. This is exactly what it is:
Just say that the wrong path becomes a pathway, can we know that the turning point is a crisis? But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
