The Jurchens of the Hosu Pavilion have fought four battles since they invested in the gold.

The first time was to fight against Gao Yongchang, the emperor of the Bohai Kingdom, and was beaten by Gao Yongchang and fled. The loss was too bad to fight, so he shrank behind the buttocks of the Jin soldiers, and specially collected and transported grain and grass for the Jin soldiers.

The second time was to attack Baozhou, which had become an isolated city, and there was no fierce battle at all, and the Liao generals were allowed to run away by boat, but they finally surrendered the Liao soldiers in the city.

The third time was to follow Agu to attack Xianzhou, and he won the first credit when breaking the beam fish.

The fourth time was to follow Wanyan Zongwang to attack the Song Dynasty, and was beaten by Guo Yaoshi in Yanshan Mansion, and nearly one-third of the casualties fled back to the camp.

How strong their combat effectiveness is, just look at their above records.

When Zhao Li, Song Jiang, Yelu Yujian, Shi Huan and others crossed the sea and landed outside Jian'an City, Wanyan Hook Room was so frightened that he hid in the city and did not dare to go out.

He only had more than 1,000 Jurchen soldiers in total, and nearly half of them went to the countryside to recruit soldiers and food.

To be honest, it's enough to defend the city, let alone fight in the city.

The people of all ethnic groups in the city were organized to defend the city by the Wanyan Hook Room. These people, mainly Han Chinese and Bohai people, mostly belonged to merchants and craftsmen.

"General Jeru, look." Zhao Li handed the telescope over.

Yelu Yu carefully observed the situation of the city defense, and found that there were very few regular troops defending the city, most of them were temporarily armed civilians, and immediately rejoiced: "This city can be taken down!" ”

Zhao Li said: "I will shell for two or three days to build some siege equipment, and the general will go to recruit strong men of all ethnic groups." By the way, you can also besiege the city and send reinforcements. ”

The nearest Jurchen unit was in Fuzhou, where the commander was called Hu Sha, known as "Taiwei Hu Sha".

Ten years ago, the people of Fuzhou and Suzhou (Dalian) were anti-Jin, and the Han, Xi, and Bohai ethnic groups were united, claiming to have 100,000 righteous troops. The Jin soldiers of southern Liaoning were killed and retreated, and finally retreated to the Wu Fort of Husha's family.

The rebel army was unable to conquer it for a long time, and the food was cut off, until the son was eaten.

When the reinforcements of the Jin State arrived, they killed tens of thousands of righteous troops and fled.

This great uprising was not over, and the anti-Jin beacon fire burned from southern Liaoning to Goryeo. The people of all ethnic groups fled to the mountains and islands, and continued to insist on fighting against the Jin soldiers, and they were suppressed by the Jin State after nearly a hundred battles.

Even many landlords fled with their families, unwilling to accept the brutal rule of the Jin State.

The Khitan and Xi people, who were forcibly relocated here, gathered more than 1,000 ships to try to go to sea. Blocked by the Jin soldiers for a period of pursuit, many fled to the sea without a trace.

This is the country of Jin, forcing the people of all ethnic groups to fight against Jin!

……

Fuzhou.

Hu Sha, the leader of the Jurchens in southern Liaoning, was already old, and in the face of the messenger for help in the Yan Hook Room, he only said casually: "After I gather troops, I will immediately go to the rescue." ”

After sending off the envoy in a few words, Husha immediately consolidated the city's defenses.

He didn't have the slightest intention of sending troops to rescue, but prepared to defend his city.

The Great Uprising in Southern Liaoning ten years ago made Hu Sha remember it vividly, and he was almost breached several times. The rebels of all ethnic groups outside Wubao would rather eat human flesh for a living than destroy him.

From that moment on, he knew that saving his life was important.

In any situation, it is better to hold on to the city and wait for the army to come to help.

As for the safety of Wanyan's hook room, is it about his nonsense?

Husha sat back and watched the friendly army being surrounded, but Yelu Yu took the cavalry and went straight to the Khitan village.

A small group of Jurchen cavalry was recruiting troops and food in the countryside, and immediately fled when they saw the Shandong horse bandit cavalry. They did not dare to return to the city, but ran wildly north, blowing trumpets along the way in an attempt to gather more troops.

"I'm Yelu Yujian, where is the Khitan man?" Jerod stood in the middle of the village on horseback.

"Dutong, it's Dutong who has come back with his troops!"

"We're saved!"

"Khitan Erlang, pick up weapons and kill the Jurchen!"

“……”

The shouts came and went, and one after another young and strong people ran to tell each other, and gradually even the old and weak women and children came.

"Give you twenty horses, and at once go and gather the people of all the villages, and let them come with their floating wealth, and they will not want anything too heavy." When I met the Han and Xi people, I also told them that the Chinese emperor was here to save them, and he didn't want to be a dog for the Jin people to join the army! ”

The horses brought with them on horseback, and they were soon handed over to the Khitan Qingzhuang to let them go to Sili and Eight Towns to deliver the news.

A Khitan young man said: "On the Han'er side, you can play the banner of Hou Yi and Wu Bangtian." These two are the heroes of the Han family, who turned Liaonan upside down in the past, and were finally killed by the Jin people and disappeared. It can be claimed that the two kings have obtained the holy decree of the Son of Heaven of the Han family, and have led their troops back to southern Liaoning, and the Han children from all over the country will definitely join the army! ”

"Okay, just use the banner of these two." Yelu Yu said approvingly.

The Khitan Qingzhuang rode on horseback to tell each other, one passed ten, ten spread hundreds, and the people of all ethnic groups came to vote.

They even exerted their subjective initiative to kill the landlords (slave owners) in the countryside nearby, and rescued slaves of various ethnic groups to join the army.

The mountains at the junction of the two states were originally the territory of the Jurchens.

The Jurchens had already gone out of the mountains to occupy the fertile land, and the Han people, who did not want to be ruled by the Jin State, secretly hid in the mountains to cultivate.

A Khitan young man rode into the mountains and shouted to the Han people in the mountain village: "Han brothers, the two kings of Hou Yi and Wu Bangtian are not dead, they crossed the sea to vote for the Han emperor." The Han emperor made them generals, and he had already brought his troops back to kill them. came back with us, as well as our Khitan generals. Take up arms, bring your goods, and follow me, men, women, and children! ”

The Han people in the mountains gathered more and more, and looked at the Khitan people in a daze.

The Khitan youth shouted again: "It's true, Jian'an City has been besieged, and the Jurchen barbarians dare not come out." You hurry up and follow me, as long as you go to China, the Han emperor will give you grain and land......"

A teenager mixed in the crowd and asked the middle-aged man next to him: "Dad, why did you get made a general?" ”

"How do I know!"

The middle-aged man was the incognito leader of the rebel army, Hou Xuan, who saw that the villagers were still hesitating, and did not reveal his identity, but raised his arms and shouted: "Fellow villagers, those Jurchen barbarians, rob our houses, dominate our land, and kill our families. They have all the fertile land, and we can only survive in the mountains......"

Hou Yi grabbed a person by the collar and asked, "Li Er, how many people have died in your family?" ”

Li Er said with red eyes: "My parents and brothers are gone, the house and land are gone, and there are only three people left in the family." ”

"Do you want revenge?" Hou asked.

Li Er wiped his tears with his horizontal sleeves: "I think!" ”

Hou Xuan turned to look at the other person again: "Yu Zhong, how many people have died in your family?" ”

"Five dead," Yu Zhong gritted his teeth and said, "Don't ask more, Lao Tzu will go to join the army!" ”

Hou Xuan continued to mobilize the people, and soon the whole village was filled with righteous indignation. Then, he organized the villagers to move, and the young men all took up improvised weapons.

Within a few days, the reinforcements of the Liaoyang Jin soldiers had just set off, and the people of all ethnic groups on the Suguan Road had gathered nearly 10,000 people, dragging their families and leading the mouth to converge in the direction of Jian'an City.

In the southern suburbs of Tangchi County, there is a landlord surnamed Wang, who has dozens of slaves at home, all of whom are converted from former tenants.

He heard that the landlords were being killed in the south, and the slaves went to join the army to oppose the gold, so he took the initiative to gather the slaves in his family: "You were all tenants of my royal family before, and taking you as slaves is to protect you and prevent you from being exploited by the Jin." The Jin people collect grain every year, even if I can't live anymore, in the future, the emperor of the Han family will send heavenly soldiers to come, and all of us Han'er should raise their arms and rise up! ”

"Today, I opened a warehouse to release grain, scattered all the floating wealth in my family, and moved to Han with my family. The old, weak, women and children came to help me carry grain and livestock, and the men all picked up hoes and sticks to join the army. Shout at me, good man, kill the girl! ”

A group of slaves looked at their masters blankly, and the atmosphere was quite awkward.

The landlord could only shout: "Put grain and kill the thief!" ”

"Put grain and kill thieves!" The slaves finally shouted.

The city garrisoned by the Jurchen soldiers was surrounded, and the people of all ethnic groups in the countryside began to revel, and the anger that had been brewing in their hearts for a long time was completely ignited.

……

Outside the city of Jian'an.

"General, there is a leader of the Han'er Righteous Army who wants to see you."

"Bring him here."

Zhao Li sat in the military tent and saw a man who looked like a farmer come in, and he warmly welcomed him: "Those who dare to resist gold and kill thieves are all good men, sit down and talk quickly." ”

The farmer said, "My name is Hou Xu. ”

"Uh......"

Zhao Li was stunned, and then laughed: "Hahahaha, Brother Hou came just in time, I'll give you a suit of armor." The Han people in southern Liaoning all admire the names of the Hou brothers, and you will temporarily lead these Han troops to fight. When I return to Shandong, I will explain this matter to the imperial court! ”

Hou Yi was overjoyed, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and clenched his fists: "Thank you, General!" ”

"It's up to me, Brother Xie Hou." Zhao Li helped him up.

Waiting for Hou to stand still, Zhao Li asked again: "Brother Hou, do you know the whereabouts of Wu hitting the world?" ”

Hou Yi shook his head: "I don't know, the Jin soldiers searched hard, and I hid in the mountains and leaked the news, causing two villages to be slaughtered by the Jin people." Later, he fled with his young son, and he no longer dared to divulge half of his points, and no matter how good his friendship was, he would not tell his real name. Wu Bangtian was similar, he was chased and killed and had to hide everywhere, and I heard that he fled into the sea to steal. ”

"It would be better if you could find this person, they are all men who stand up to the sky." Zhao Li said with emotion.

Hou Yi asked: "The general captured this city, whether to garrison it for a long time, or to plunder and return to Shandong." ”

Zhao Li said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed that no matter whether or not Jian'an City is captured, he must take the people here to Suzhou (Dalian Jinzhou) in the old Liao. Capture there, relying on the Great Wall of Zhenhaikou to resist the counterattack of the Jin soldiers, and the people of all ethnic groups are placed in the south of the Great Wall and in the city. ”

"The land there is poor and narrow, and there is not enough food to harvest for farming." Hou Ji reminded.

Zhao Li said: "Shandong will bring grain over. ”

Hou Xuan said: "As long as the food is sufficient, even if the imperial court does not send troops, I can lead the people of southern Liaoning to defend the Great Wall!" ”

Zhao Li said with a smile: "Of course, the imperial court must keep troops to garrison, and if you leave 3,000 people here, you can contain tens of thousands of soldiers in the Jin Kingdom." When we attack Suzhou (Jinzhou), the crown prince will also send troops in Hebei, and the Jin Kingdom will not be able to care about each other at that time! ”

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is wise," Hou Yi said happily and worriedly, "but can the Song soldiers win in Hebei?" ”

Zhao Li laughed: "Where is there still Song Bing?" Now it's the world of the Ming Zhu family! ”
