"Fortunately, I didn't lose my life!"

All the way back to the barracks, Ma Kuo put the head of the Jurchen prison army on the desk.

Although Yelu Dashi didn't recognize this person, he knew that it was a Jurchen just by looking at the hairstyle.

Although the Jurchens and the Khitans are both bald, they are completely different.

The braided hair hangs down the shoulders, separates from the Khitan, behaves with a gold ring, leaves the hair behind the skull, and ties it with colored silk.

Yelu Dashi's face was overjoyed, and he praised: "Brother Ma's talent is enough to compare with Ban Dingyuan and Fu Jiezi." ”

Ma Kuo said modestly: "The King of Liao is overrated, and the brilliance of the sages is like the bright moon in the sky, and it is just the light of fireflies." ”

"What about the Gaoqing descendants?"

Yelu Dashi glanced outside the tent and saw that there was no one outside the tent, and he couldn't help but show doubts.

Ma Kuo didn't answer and asked: "Does the King of Liao have a grudge against General Gao?" ”

On the way back, he had already thought of a countermeasure.

Hearing this, Yelu Dashi was stunned, thought for a moment, and shook his head slightly: "This king and Gao Qingyi are not familiar with each other, but they have been officials in the same dynasty in the past and have met a few times. ”

"That's weird."

Ma Kuo frowned slightly, and said: "When we were talking, General Gao was extremely dissatisfied with the King of Liao, as if he had a grudge, and he was unwilling to submit to the King of Liao. I had to move out of Your Majesty, and General Gao was willing to surrender to my Daqi. ”

Surrender to the Great Qi?

Yelu Dashi's heart sank, and he looked at Ma Kuo quietly.

It's just that Ma Kuo's acting skills are excellent, and there is no clue on his face.

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Yelu Dashi chuckled and said, "It's okay, you and I are allies, and it is the same for either of the Gaoqing descendants." ”

He still cares about Gao Qingyi, this person is brave and strategic, he is a fierce general, and the Liao army under his command are all veterans of a hundred battles.

However, now that the country of Qi has been surrendered, it can only be put on hold for the time being, and it will be won over later.

After all, you have to rely on Qi Guo to help you build Linhuang Mansion, and there is no need to turn your face with Qi Guo for a Gaoqing descendant.

Out of the tent, Ma Kuo returned to the camp tent, wrote a note, and handed it over to the scout battalion to send to Datong Mansion with a whip.

……

……

Datong Province.

The butter-like spring rain keeps falling from the sky.

A mile outside the city, the people are in full swing to build a canopy.

Wooden stakes were nailed, covered with kraft cloth, and a simple canopy was built.

These canopies were not for Han Zhen, but for the placement of siege artillery.

In a few moments, a row of canopies stood in the spring rain.

A battering gun made of brass was pushed under the canopy.

Clean the chamber, add gunpowder, reload, adjust the angle of the barrel, and do it all in one go.

Artillery is very expensive, because a skilled gunner is fed with barrels of gunpowder and shells.

"Fire!"

Boom Boom!

As soon as the words fell, deafening loud noises rang out one after another.

As the thick smoke rose, solid iron bullets shot out and went straight to the castle tower.

Today's siege is just to demoralize.

Wait for the sky to clear up, be able to use firearms and field artillery, and then take it in one go.

Otherwise, there are still more than 80,000 Jin troops in the city, as well as more than 100,000 people, and a strong attack will only kill 800 enemies and lose 1,000.

Marshal's House.

In the study, there was a mess.

Since he came back last night, Wanyan Zonghan couldn't control the anger in his heart and smashed the study to pieces.

A servant wanted to come to clean up, but was beheaded off by the angry Wanyan Zonghan.

After that, no one dared to approach the study.

"Marshal, the Left Prison Army asks to see you."

At this time, a report from the guards came from outside the door.

Wanyan Zonghan raised his head slightly and ordered, "Let him come in." ”

Creak.

The door was pushed open, and Wan Yan Xiyin stepped in.

Seeing the mess all over the place, he persuaded: "The marshal mourns, now that the Qi army is coming to the city, I hope that the marshal can regain his strength, and there is no fear of victory or defeat." ”

"I know."

Wanyan Zonghan nodded and asked, "The Qi army has attacked the city?" ”

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "It's just an artillery bombardment, and it doesn't attack the city on a large scale, it seems that it wants to demolish the morale of our army, and wait for Tianqing to take it again." ”

Wanyan Zonghan asked again: "Is there any news over there?" ”

"This ......"

Wanyan Xiyin's face hesitated.

Seeing this, Wanyan Zonghan frowned and said, "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Hulu said that it is necessary to beware of the counterattack of the Qi army in Nanjing Road, so it is impossible to send troops to help." After Yan Xiyin said, he sighed slightly.

"Good, good!"

Wanyan Zonghan laughed angrily: "It is really hard to make up for this throne. ”

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang was still playing tricks with himself.

As soon as the Xijing Road is lost, the Shangjing Road will also fall into the hands of Yelu Dashi, and the Zhongjing Road may not be able to be saved, and then the Jin Kingdom can only live in a corner and be forced to shrink in the Tokyo Road.

Wanyan Xiyin persuaded: "The marshal still sent a letter to explain the benefits and disadvantages. ”

"Huh!"

Wanyan Zonghan sneered: "Do you think that Lu Bu is a fool? No, he knows everything, and he knows everything. He was afraid, when he was in Nanjing Road last year, he had already been broken by Han Zhen, and now he just wants to return to the Northeast and become his emperor of the Jin Kingdom! ”

“……”

Wanyan Xiyin was silent for a while, helpless in his heart.

When Taizu Agu was alive, the top and bottom of the Jin Kingdom were twisted into a rope and unanimously outspoken.

But as soon as Taizu died, he immediately began to fight for power.

His Majesty is also a soft egg today, if he can have the means and prestige of Taizu, he will not be in such a situation.

To put it bluntly, the expansion of the Jin Kingdom is too fast, and it is too late to digest it.

In the original time and space, Zhao and Song were too wasted, Yelu Dashi was forced to move west, and Western Xia was weak, so the Jin State did not have any pressure, had enough time and energy, digested the results of the war, and slowly stabilized the domestic situation.

But now, with a great enemy like the Qi State, a series of ills of the Jin State have emerged.

Although Han Zhen has risen quickly, he is basically stable.

In addition, the political system of the Central Plains Dynasty itself is mature, and it only needs to be slightly reformed and the shortcomings of the previous dynasty can be stabilized in a short time.

From the pre-Qin to the Zhao and Song dynasties, after so many dynasties, how can the political system and management methods be comparable to the backward slavery system of the Jin State?

Wanyan Zonghan said in a deep voice: "The firearms and artillery of the Qi army are sharp, and Datong Mansion can't hold it. ”

"Does the marshal want to evacuate?"

Wanyan Xiyin was taken aback.

"Right now, Xiao Qing and Gao Qing are blocking Yelu Dashi for the time being, and Guihua Prefecture (Zhangjiakou) is not lost, but if it drags on any longer, it will be difficult to leave."

Even if he didn't want to, Wanyan Zonghan could only choose to evacuate.

If it is a hard support, with the 80,000 troops under his command and more than 100,000 people in the city, it can last for a month or two, but what is the meaning?

Wanyan Zongwang made it clear that he would not send troops to help, and Yelu Dashi was attacking the city and plundering the land in the rear, and the white-eyed wolf of Western Xia might also send troops, so he took the opportunity to take a bite and it was completely meaningless to stick to Datong Mansion.

As for the emperor Wanyan Wu begging to buy, even if he wanted to save it, he was powerless.

The 50,000 soldiers and horses under his command are his last confidence, and he will not move easily.

Wanyan Xiyin quickly figured out this layer of joints, and muttered, "When does the marshal plan to evacuate?" ”

Wanyan Zonghan instructed: "Without further ado, just these days." Xiao Qing and Gao Qing, these Liao generals, I can't believe it, the news of the defeat reaches the rear, maybe they will return to Yelu Dashi. ”

Ever since Yelu Yu saw the backstabbing, he no longer trusted the Khitan and Han'er.

The transfer of Xiao Qing and Gao Qing is also in this mind.

Otherwise, if these two people stay in Datong Mansion and stab themselves in the back at a critical moment, the consequences will be unimaginable.
