Chapter 488: Northern Strongman
The twenty-fourth year of Shaoxing in the Great Song Dynasty and the second year of Jin Zhenyuan.
It's October.
On a high post on the south bank of the Huai River, the gold lord Wanyan Liang immediately looked at the peak lineup of the army under his command and the fluttering flags, in full swing, and the pride and excitement in his heart were really indescribable.
Wan Yan Liang was in charge of 32 generals and 600,000 troops, and invaded the south in four ways. On the east road, Wan Yanliang personally led the attack on Huainan by Shouchun. In the middle of the road, led by Liu Cao and Fusanwu, they attacked Jingxiang from the south of Caizhou. On the west road, led by Tudan Hexi and Zhang Zhongyan, he attacked Dasanguan from Fengxiang. By sea, Su Baoheng and Wanyan Zhengjia led the naval army to take Lin'an directly from the seaway, which was bound to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty in one fell swoop.
Zhao Gou faced such a situation, after completing the transaction with Feng Zhou, he killed Qin Hui as soon as possible, improved the morale of the government and the opposition to resist the fight, and met the enemy in four ways. With Wu Lan as the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu and responsible for the defense of Sichuan and Shaanxi; with the veteran general Liu Qi as the envoy of Huainan, Jiangnan, and western Zhejiang, he controlled the troops and horses of the various roads and assumed the heavy task of resisting the main force of the Jin army in the Jianghuai region; with Cheng Min as the envoy of the Jinghu system, he led 30,000 troops to defend the middle reaches of the Yangtze River in accordance with Wu Gongjiao, who was guarding Xiangyang; and with Lin Xi as the envoy of coastal control, he led 120 ships from the sea to the north to attack the Jinshui army.
The morale of the other three armies was good, but the Song army in the Jianghuai area encountered problems at the beginning, the veteran Liu Qi was seriously ill and unable to advance, and the general Wang Quan was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and did not dare to rush to the front to fight, so Huaixi basically had no defense at all.
Therefore, the Jin lord finished Yan Liang's soldiers to the peak, the Song army fled in the wind, and collapsed again and again, so that the Jin army quickly broke through the direction of Jianghuai, two Shouyang and Lujiang, and the forward army had already approached the Yangtze River, and the war horses under the command of the Jin army had drunk the water of the Yangtze River.
Therefore, at this time, Wan Yanliang can be said to be high-spirited and unstoppable.
Six years ago, he ascended the dragon chair of the emperor of the Jin State, four years ago, he followed the example of King Zhao Wuling, and went to the south of the Yangtze River to observe the reality of the Song Kingdom, and now he rules the north, the foundation is stable, the Jianghuai town of the Song State has fallen into his hands, as long as the Yangtze River is crossed, the land of the south of the Yangtze River has reached the time of easy reach, the world is big, who can compete with him?
In particular, the smooth progress of the battle of Jianghuai has fueled the heroic feelings in his heart, and he is sitting on horseback at this moment, and he has a bearing of dominating the world. At this time, his eyes were fixed on the end of the horizon, flickering, as if he could foresee that the Song army would be invincible, and the time had come for him to rule the world as the first lord of the northern Hu clan.
In addition to the more than a dozen generals holding the moon around him, there were also a few people in ordinary clothes, all of whom were calm and silent, but between their eyebrows, there was a terrifying power.
And being able to get the allegiance of these people is a proud achievement of Wan Yan Liang, and it is also that he began to wave his army south with confidence and boldness, and he doesn't care about those ambitious people in the rear dragging him back.
Because these people are super strong people who are one person against ten thousand, and they are great masters of cultivating magic.
Everyone's strength is far above the Great Elder of the Dark Witch Sect, Wuyan Alin.
Among them, the most famous person is none other than the young master of the Black Witch Sect on his left, Shan Changhe, this person is very good at magic, he can raise his hand to summon thunder, wave his hand, he can overwhelm the mountains and seas, and there are many magic weapons in his hands, and there are many black witch warriors under his command who are brave and good at fighting, and have made countless achievements for him to complete Yan Liang, and he is powerful inside and outside. Being able to collect it for his own use is his greatest blessing for Wan Yan Liang, otherwise he will be obtained by his political opponent Wan Yan Yong.
Tudan Changhe is forty years old this year, his body is as majestic as a mountain, his face is handsome, his long dark hair is scattered over his shoulders, his forehead is surrounded by steel hoops, his eyes are deep, the divine light is incomprehensible, and his waist is straight.
But he kept his head down and didn't say a word in the crowd, exuding a momentum all over his body, cleverly "hiding" himself, everyone knew how powerful he was, but when he looked at him, he always involuntarily ignored it.
Chai Ping, a lay disciple of Qingliang Temple on Wutai Mountain to the right of Wanyan Liang, has a low reputation in the way of magic in the north, but he is the only person who is afraid of Changhe.
He was dressed in white, with a handsome face and eyes as warm as stars, but the tall horse under his crotch carried a black iron double short spear weighing more than fifty pounds, and if anyone dared to underestimate him, the consequences would be difficult for anyone to accept.
In addition, there are three people, standing side by side with Chai Ping, faintly separated from the long river of Tudan, it seems that these people are not harmonious.
Of course, this is also what Wan Yanliang wants to see.
As for the other generals under his command, Wan Yanliang was of course more satisfied, Yelu Yuanyi, Tushan Shousu, Tang Kuo Wuye, and Nahe Hulu were all momentary heroes in the Jin army, and they could withstand the wind and waves on the battlefield.
Wan Yan Liang retracted his gaze, looked around to the left and right, a smile floated from the corner of his lips, and said in a somewhat mocking tone: "Although Qin Hui has won Wan Yan Chang's trust, went to the Song Kingdom to become the Xiangguo, and reported the Jiangnan Void and Reality 1510 to me, but he just wants to occupy the Song State well, and if he dies, he will die, do you think that my Dajin Kingdom will have a black eye?
Even if Zhao Gou uses Zhang Jun as the prime minister and Liu Qi as the general, what can he do? In my eyes, the north and south of the Huai River are not a smooth road? Yue Fei, the only thing that makes me jealous, has already been killed by them, and now I want to see what tricks Zhao Gou can change in my palm?"
Yelu Yuanyi arched his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Zhao Gou is just a timid person who spares his life, what is that Zhang Jun Lao'er, but he is just a scribe who has achieved military exploits with the help of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. ”
Zhang Jun is a great sage in the world, even in the north is quite famous, before being hit by Qin Hui, had to live in seclusion, now Qin Hui was killed, he was immediately enabled by Zhao Gou, worship as the left minister, this person is familiar with military affairs, quite accomplished, not a boastful person.
But in the eyes of the generals in the north, it is just with the help of the reputation accumulated by those famous generals, and now the famous generals in the south of the Yangtze River are withering and their morale is low, and they can wave their troops south to sweep the world, and they are the time when these generals have made great achievements.
The generals echoed one after another, and their intentions were flying, but only Shan Changhe and Chai Ping were silent.
They are guardians, not generals, and it is normal to be silent at this time.
Wan Yan Liang laughed, waved his hand to let the generals retreat, and then said to Tudan Changhe and the others: "A few Aiqing, I will soon be on the Yangtze River, cross the Yangtze River by quarrying, and attack Jiangnan, I don't worry about anything else, only those who cultivate the Tao, of course, in the final analysis, it is still the guy called Fengzhou." ”
When several magicians heard this, their eyes flashed with a cold light.
Tu Dan Changhe smiled coldly: "Your Majesty, don't disturb, although that Fengzhou Xiao'er is good, he doesn't know the number of days, if he dares to kill the king, he will only die." He paused, and then said, "This person has a deep enmity with my Dark Witch Sect, and even if he doesn't come out, I will find him and tear him to pieces." ”
Wan Yanliang listened, his face showed a hint of pleasure, and he couldn't help but nodded.
But Chai Ping, who had been silent next to him, snorted coldly.
