Chapter 575: Sanctification

Previous Chapter

On gathering people's hearts and dominating Liangshanbo, Chao Gai is really not comparable to Song Jiang who plays with his heart, but at this time, Song Jiang has long been lost and has become a cripple, and Chao Gai has re-established his authority with the help of the two battles of Zengtou City and Gaotang Prefecture, so the entire Liangshanbo family is dominant, and the status of Chao Tianwang is as stable as Mount Tai.

And he is also a good at delegating power, Lin Chong is in charge of training, and there is a horse war general like Hua Rong, so Chao Gai didn't pay attention to Hu Yanzhuo's attack at first.

However, Hu Yanzhuo, as a descendant of the founding general, was skilled in soldiers and horses, and had a chain of horses, a land war weapon in the Great Song Dynasty.

Chao Gai finally stabilized the formation, listened carefully to the opinions, and at the suggestion of Gongsun Sheng, he lost a few more battles, took the initiative to abandon the land, retreated to the water, and lured Hu Yanzhuo to attack Liangshan by boat.

Hu Yanzhuo won consecutive battles, and he looked down on the bandits, so he rushed forward, got on a big boat, and killed the water village.

Next is the time for the three heroes of the Ruan family to show their might, they led the water ghosts to scuttle through the big boat, causing thousands of officers and soldiers to fall into the water, Hu Yanzhuo's deputy generals Han Tao and Peng Qi were captured alive, Hu Yanzhuo because he was the commander, fell in the end, escaped by luck, and only survived.

As for the "earth-shattering thunder" Ling Zhen, he was caught by the sneak attack of Liangshanbo on land and escorted to Liangshan, but after Zhu Biao heard the news, a letter, Chao Gai and others obediently sent him to Zhujiazhuang.

Hu Yanzhuo thought about it and knew that there was only a dead end to return to Beijing, so he had to rush to Qingzhou and defect to his old acquaintance Murong Prefect.

As a result, it caused a wave of farce of "three mountains gathering to fight Qingzhou, and all the tigers returning to their hearts and throwing themselves into the water".

The prefect of Murong was killed, and Murong Guifei cried day and night after hearing about it, which finally made the Son of Heaven furious, and ordered Cai Jing to inspect the Privy Council and arrange for soldiers and horses to crusade against Liangshanbo again.

So Dadao Guan Sheng was recommended by Ma Xuanzan of Choujun and led a group of men and horses to attack Liangshanbo.

It is rumored that Guan Sheng is the descendant of Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms, and he has the courage of ten thousand people, and he is fighting with Liangshanbo, what Yang Zhi, Hua Rong, and Liangshan heroes are not opponents, Guan Sheng is majestic, and he has defeated more than a dozen heroes in a row, making Liangshanbo disgraced and embarrassed.

Later, Hu Yanzhuo deceived Guan Sheng, lured Guan Sheng to rob the village, and led him into an ambush. Guan Sheng was captured alive by the Liangshan army, and his generals Xuanzan and Hao Siwen were also captured one after another. Chao Gai personally untied him, and bowed down to the guilt. Hu Yanzhuo also apologized. Guan Sheng saw that Liangshan Bo was deeply righteous and that he was the general of the defeated army, so he surrendered to Liangshan with Xuanzan and Hao Siwen.

Later, when he heard that Shi Jin of Shaohua Mountain was arrested, Lu Zhi wanted to rescue him, Chao Gai felt their righteous anger, so he personally led his soldiers and horses to Huashan, rescued Shi Jin, and then took Zhu Wu and others back to Liangshan together.

However, it was said that Zhu Wuren gave him the nickname "Shenji Military Division", and Gongsun Sheng, Guan Sheng, Yang Zhi and others talked deeply with him, and became more and more like-minded, and Chao Gai also looked at him differently.

With the growing strength of Liangshanbo and the shortage of grain and grass on the mountain, Chao Gai hinted at Zhu Biao, in the name of borrowing grain, first attacked Dongping Mansion, and then broke Dongchang Mansion, not only seized a large amount of grain and grass, but also collected generals such as Dong Ping and Zhang Qing, who had no feather arrows, and the strength at hand was rapidly improved.

By this time, Chao Gai's power had basically reached a peak, and if it continued to develop, the small Shuibo Liangshan could no longer accommodate this huge force.

And the imperial court was also very cooperative, first Tong Guan led the Western Army to fight Liangshanbo twice, and was defeated by Chao Gai.

Next, Gao Yu led the ten knots to attack Liangshanbo again, but he fought three battles in a row, was killed, and Gao Yu was almost captured.

In fact, Liang Shanbo was able to defeat the officers and soldiers, although it was because Tong Guan and Gao Yu were incompetent, the status of the officers and soldiers was not high, and the fighting spirit was low, but the main reason was not how strong Chao Gai's leadership was, but because Hu Yanzhuo, Guan Sheng, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Zhu Wu, Wu Yong and others were making trouble.

They either failed in their studies, or wasted their years for the sake of the general, that is, they wanted to fight a good battle in front of the imperial court, so as to show their strength in front of the government and seek a good net worth for the future recruitment.

So for the sake of the future, they played with twelve points.

On the other hand, the Western Army under Tong Guan traveled a long distance, and the saddle horse was tired, and he looked down on a thief, and Gao Yu's Shijiedu was also on the road of "killing people and setting fire to the gold belt", so he naturally had a clear mind about Liang Shanbo, so he put a lot of water into the fight.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Great Song Dynasty, it is a pile of people, and it can also drag down the power of Liangshanbo.

Gao Yu is a playmate of Zhao Guan's family, and he serves as a lieutenant against the civilian system, no matter whether he wins or loses, as long as he plays well, he still has peace of mind.

However, Tong Guan was originally on the side of Zhao Guan's family with his military merits, but now he can't even beat a thief, which is really unreasonable, and the Son of Heaven is dissatisfied with him.

So the "hidden phase" Liang Shi became completely overwhelmed Tong Guan in front of the Son of Heaven, and his ranking among the "Six Thieves" went further, so he recommended Zhu Biao to the Son of Heaven.

"The official family, Yunzhou Yanggu Zhu Biao, both virtuous and capable, since serving as Yanggu Gongtian, with a county, every year for His Majesty to hand over hundreds of thousands of offerings, and the county is prosperous, the people are peaceful, three years ago, Liangshan Bo greedy for his wealth, led the army to attack, he took five hundred townsmen, lost his armor, and died more than a dozen leaders, so that the thieves did not dare to look at Yanggu County. The old slave thought that if Zhu Biao was recruited into the capital and given him a position as a military general, he would definitely be able to subdue Liangshanbo. ”

The Son of Heaven also remembered Zhu Biao's name, and when he heard the words, he was overjoyed, so he ordered Zhu Biao to enter Beijing.

Zhu Biaofeng is handsome, heroic and sharp, the Son of Heaven is overjoyed to see it, and he is made to perform martial arts, but the forbidden army is up and down, there is no one who is together, and the Son of Heaven is happy, so he is named the vanguard to recruit envoys, and he is to suppress Liangshanbo.

Tong Guan and Gao Yu got together to discuss: "This person is invincible in martial arts, rich and rich, or Liang Shicheng's person, it is difficult for us to buy, but let him conquer Liang Shanbo, once he has done his best, then Liang Shicheng will not rise and lose his status?" ”

So the two of them went to the table one after another, and they desperately tried their best to fill the Son of Heaven with their relationship, and finally the Son of Heaven changed his mind and asked Zhu Biao to recruit An Liang Shanbo.

Zhu Biao took advantage of the situation, won Liangshan alone, Chao Gai knelt on the ground, such as Lu Zhishen, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and other dissatisfied, he won with one punch, and finally he was convinced.

When the operation was recruited, Zhu Biao was given the title of official, and he was located on the top of Chao Gai to lead the Liangshan Bo group.

Chao Gai Group has no objection to this, and Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhu Wu and others knew Zhu Biao's details, they intended to get close to him, and then the army was ordered to join the battle of Liao, Zhu Biao killed hundreds of guards in Yanjing of Liao with a halberd, and killed the Liao generals in panic, expelled the people of Yanjing of Liao State, and occupied the sixteen states of Yanyun that had been exiled for two hundred years by force!

After Zhu Biao occupied the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, he arranged for Chao Gai to lead his men back to Beijing, and he led Zhujiazhuang's men and horses to stay behind.

And people such as Lu Zhishen, Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo, Zhu Wu and others also took the opportunity to stay and serve Zhu Biao.

At this time, Zhu Biao had 20,000 elite soldiers, but there were also 10,000 civil affairs people, all of whom he had cultivated in Yanggu County in the past few years.

He ordered Wu Song to form the Jinyi Guard, and led Zhao Jin to form the Zhenwu Guard, and made every effort to destroy the local administrative structure of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

In just three months, Jinyi Wei killed 50,000 people, Zhenwu Wei killed 48,000 people, and one-thirtieth of the population of the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures died, but the organizations, potential resistance forces, and famous people among the wealthy families were all killed.

Zhu Biao quickly set up a task force, a group of 500 people, to settle in various places, sort out household registration, control the population, and set up administrative organs.

By the time Liao and Jin played their dog's brains and reacted to the sixteen states of Yanyun, the entire sixteen states of Yanyun had already been surnamed.

At this time, Zhu Biao began to carry out the imperial examination and the system of science to collect talents, and the Great Song Dynasty understood, and Zhao Ji, the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty, was furious and wanted to make the Wenchen generals attack Zhu Biao, and everyone found out that Zhu Biao's prestige had already spread all over the world, and no one dared to match it.

The scholars and doctors were frightened by the aliens, but they had a natural defensive psychology against the Han people, and they tried their best to suppress the warriors, which also made the warriors not only treated at the bottom, but also had a low political status, and the so-called concept of loyalty to the monarch and patriotism was not clear.

In the end, Cai Jing, the head of the civil officials, made the intention of "driving the wolf and devouring the tiger", and suggested that the Son of Heaven should make Zhu Biao the king of Yan, and then make an agreement with the Jin State to attack Zhu Biao.

In their opinion, Zhu Biao has just occupied Yanyun, and his power is not stable, and if Jin Guo can win Da Liao, he will inevitably be able to win against Zhu Biao, who is not stable.

I have to say that this kind of thinking of "preferring foreign thieves to domestic slaves" is shared by feudal literati rulers, and it still has a certain effect in dealing with reckless and reckless rogues.

But Zhu Biao has accumulated business for several years, and as soon as he makes a move, he is thunderous, and in a time they can't imagine, he has firmly controlled the sixteen states of Yanyun, and this Yan King, whether it is in name or substance, is tightly gripped.

At this time, the founding emperor of the Jin State, Wanyan Aguta, had already destroyed the Liao State, and took advantage of the situation to lead Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Lou Room, with an army of 50,000, to attack the Yan State, while Tong Guan led the exhausted army of 200,000 to exterminate Fang La, and went north from the south road.

Zhu Biao convened the generals to discuss, and the generals saw that his face was calm and his heart was at peace, so he asked his plan, Zhu Biao smiled and said: "It doesn't matter how many ways he comes, I will only go all the way!" As long as the Jin army is defeated, Tong Guan in the south will be vulnerable. ”

After speaking, Zhu Biao led Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, and Zhu Xiaoyan to lead an army of 20,000, including 5,000 escorts he cultivated, and went north to meet the enemy.

Everyone didn't know that in the past few years, Zhu Biao had given Ling Zhen the greatest autonomy and a large amount of research funds, and he had already researched artillery that could be used in actual combat.

"Emperor, the last general is willing to lead three thousand elite horsemen to attack the Han dog camp and guarantee that they will be beaten into scum at once."

A fierce ann shouted.

He called Yan Wild Boar Skin, is the vanguard of the Jin Army, with 3,000 cavalry under his command, brave and invincible, and has made great contributions in the war of Dajin to destroy Liao, and has already regarded victory as inevitable, they look down on Liao, and naturally they can't look down on the Song State that has been pressed by Liao's State for 200 years, in his mind, if it were not for the geographical location of Yanyun's sixteen states, the emperor would not need to drive in person at all.

"Good! You go charge! ”

After finishing the Yan wild boar skin, he returned to the formation and shouted: "Warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, show your courage to kill the Liao dog, and kill the Han dog on the other side!" ”

Meng'an Mooke system ensured the absolute control of Wanyan Wild Boar Skin over his command, and after listening to his shouts, thousands of Jurchens shouted together: "Kill the Han dog!" Kill the Han dog! ”

But before he could shout two words, he was suddenly drowned out by a louder and louder sound of breaking the air, and the wild boar skin was not much in the end, but the horses under his crotch were frightened first.

Wanyan Wild Boar Skin hurriedly looked up, it was indeed too late.

A cannonball hit his upper body, and the upper body of this Mou'an disappeared directly, along with the horse's head, in front of the lead ball with a huge momentum, it was nothing, and it was directly smashed to pieces.

Not only him, Zhu Biao's expedition brought dozens of artillery pieces, and each time the cannon was fired, a lead ball swept through the Jin army with the momentum of extermination, and immediately took the lives of more than a dozen people.

The second shell did not fall in the formation, but hit a large cart, directly smashing the cart, and the wooden and iron parts on it were splashed and fired, knocking down a large part of the surrounding Jin Junyou.

The Jin army suddenly let out a scream, one individual's body was pierced, one horse after another jumped wildly, scattered and fled, and the unlucky ones were also broken by cannonballs.

By the time of the second round of shelling, the 3,000 cavalrymen had only suffered a few hundred casualties, but they had already dispersed in a panic.

"What's that? What's going on? ”

"Could it be that the heavens have abandoned us?"

"Great Shaman, save us!"

One by one, the ghosts cried wolves, and the wolves rushed to the pigs, scattering in all directions.

Not only did the Jin country's forwards disperse, but even the Chinese army was shocked, they had never seen this formation, they had never seen artillery, so they trembled with fright one by one.

However, the emperor understood the matter and knew that it was the opponent's weapon, and after thinking about it, he ordered: "The weapons of the Han people must be very troublesome, and if the army attacks and destroys their weapons, they will definitely fail!" ”

So the Jin army charged against the artillery of the Han army, and after killing hundreds of people, they finally approached the Han army, but they collided head-on with Zhu Biao's spear array.

The spears are like a forest, the various directions are raised forward at the flat end, the formation is hollow, but there are archers throwing arrows in it, and their throwing ability is not inferior to that of the Jurchens.

And Zhu Biao personally led a 1,000-strong stormtrooper and went straight into the Jin Army's array.

These thousand people, all of them are tall and tall, and all of them are wearing iron armor, each holding a long knife, following Zhu Biao's back, chopping all the way. And Zhu Biao and them are also equipped with the same equipment, holding the halberd, attached to their own Taixuan Divine Skills, slashing up and down, killing left and right, really killing people on their backs, and there is no living Jin army within a few zhang.

During this period, he killed twenty-five fierce generals of the Jin State in a row, and then killed Yan Lou Room and Yan Zongwang, two generals of the Jin State Unified Army. All the way through the enemy's array, directly to the Jin Army.

At this time, he had already seen the big sword that Yan Ah Gu had beaten, and he also saw this old immortal fleeing in a hurry under the protection of the guards around him, and he couldn't help laughing.

"You can't escape!"

After saying that, he suddenly jumped up, and almost at the same time, the dark cloud-like sharp arrows on the opposite side roared, like raindrops constantly hitting him, but under the effect of his Taixuan Divine Skill's full firepower, these sharp arrows were instantly bounced away, and his body was not affected at all, slashing through the air, and at the same time a punch was blasted out in mid-air.

Wan Yan and the guards beside him screamed at the same time, and they all fell off their horses.

Because their horses were smashed by Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao fell to the ground and grabbed Wanyan and beat him.

The Jin army was defeated.

The army attacking in front suffered heavy casualties under the attack of the spear array, and their emperor was captured again, and at this time, the Han army counterattacked step by step, and the Han cavalry behind was also outflanked, Lin Chong and Hu Yanzhuo on the left, and Guan Sheng Xuanzan on the right, each led the cavalry under their command to attack in two ways, like a pincer, and the last fighting spirit of the Jin army was clamped into pieces.

"Those who don't surrender die, those who surrender are tied up, my Yanyun land is just right to build water conservancy, and I can use these prisoners of war as slaves!"

Zhu Biao ordered easily.

In this battle, the emperor of Jin was captured, and more than 10,000 of the 50,000 troops were killed, but only a few thousand escaped, and the rest were taken prisoner.

When Tong Guan heard the news, he hurriedly withdrew from the army in fear, and did not dare to say anything about the Northern Expedition.

The Jin State was terrified, and after Wanyan Wu begged to grasp the situation, he sent a lot of money, begging to redeem the emperor Wanyan Aguta.

Zhu Biaoli ignored it, and directly put Wanyan Agu to death. After Jin Guo heard the news, he was even more afraid, but he did not dare to have the idea of raising troops.

After that, Zhu Biao began to farm with all his might, and five years later, he established a musketeer army of 8,000 men to attack the Jin Kingdom in the north, destroy its clan, and destroy its country.

Immediately with a large army of 100,000, he went south to attack the Song Dynasty, and the monarchs and ministers of the Song State lost their ground, and finally surrendered, and the Song died.

Zhu Biao founded the country as Yan, the capital as Yanjing, he changed the status of craftsmen, and took the college entrance examination as the criterion for the future generations, implemented the examination system, and elected talents.

At the same time, through Jinyiwei and Zhenwuwei, he only pitted Confucianism and did not burn books, so for 30 years, the people of the world only knew how to praise Zhu Biao as the founding saint, and did not dare to have other thoughts.

……

A hundred years later, Zhu Biao stepped on the heavenly court, left dragon four, right white snake, and accompanied by Xiaoqing, Xia Bing and other beauties, as the Arctic crape myrtle emperor, it can be said that he enjoys the blessings of the emperor!

Zixiao Palace sent a decree: "Ye Ke devoted himself to the Zhu Biao period, recovered his homeland, destroyed the Jin Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and prevented the Jingkang Change, a great tragedy of the Han family, and sanctified it with merit, which is for Deqing Ziwei Tianzun, and Taishang Laojun, Yuan Shi Tianzun, and Lingbao Tianzun are listed in the same ......"
