A knife in love

Chapter 2754
When Zhang Gui said this, he paused for a while, glanced at General Wang who was kneeling on one knee, and then said, "General Wang, you go back and tell your brothers that even if the barbarians defeated the Japanese pirates, this great contribution will not be missed." On their heads, the brothers are the ones who benefit in the end. Moreover, most of the gold and silver captured in this battle will be distributed to the brothers, so please rest assured."

When General Wang heard what Zhang Gui said, his face showed joy, and he said in his mouth: "Thank you for your care! Brothers have already said that there are many benefits to go to war with the adults, how can we not work for the adults?!"

Zhang Gui smiled slightly and waved his right hand lightly.General Wang then stood up, bowed his hands to Zhang Gui again, got on his horse, led dozens of cavalry soldiers back to the east side of Laoweng Mountain, reined in his horse and stood on the edge of the mountain, waiting for Zhang Gui's order.

When Zhang Gui was talking with General Wang, the cavalry team in the middle of the wilderness had already entered the Japanese pirates' phalanx.Immediately, the knight brandished a broadsword and rampaged through the Japanese pirate army, killing the Japanese pirates and fleeing one after another. In the blink of an eye, the four Japanese pirate phalanxes in the front row were already torn apart and defeated.

Qi Jiu grew up in the Dengzhou Guard Army since he was a child. When his father taught him the art of war, he once told him that in a battle between infantry and cavalry, they are already at a disadvantage before the battle begins. If you want to be invincible The land must be formed into an army formation in order to be able to resist the horse army.Once the army formation collapsed and the infantry fought on their own or fled in all directions, they could only be chased and killed by the horse army, and they would be defeated.At this time, seeing that the Japanese pirate phalanx has collapsed, and the Japanese pirate soldiers are running in all directions, how can they escape the iron hooves of the war horses?Seeing this situation, Qi Jiu knew that the Japanese pirates would definitely be defeated, so he was both surprised and happy. He thought to himself before that we all thought Zhang Gui was incompetent, and just sat and watched the Japanese pirates go to war in Dongliao County and ignored him. General Zhan, who became the commander-in-chief of Liaodong, how could he be an incompetent person?Presumably, after he received the military report, he immediately dispatched troops to deal with the Japanese pirates.It was just a matter of military affairs, Zhang Guisheng was afraid of leaking the news, so he quietly led the reinforcements to Dongliao County and hid near Laoweng Mountain.It wasn't until the Japanese pirates thought they had a plan and boldly marched on Laoweng Mountain that Zhang Gui ordered the horse army to attack and won a complete victory.This kind of forbearance and scheming is really admirable.

Li Qiufeng, Murong Danyan and others saw Zhang Gui's Ma Jun enter the Japanese pirate army, beat the Japanese pirates and fled in all directions.After the horse knight killed the Japanese pirates, he jumped off the horse, cut off the Japanese pirate's head with a knife, hung it on his waist or on the saddle, and then turned on the horse and continued to chase and kill the Japanese pirates.Seeing how cruel these knights were, everyone felt uneasy.It's just that Li Qiufeng and others disliked Zhang Gui, although they were in doubt, they didn't want to ask Zhang Gui.After a long while, Qi Jiu couldn't bear it any longer, and turned to Zhang Gui and said, "Master Zhang, I see that these horse troops are not like the officers and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. I don't know where the reinforcements were invited by the Lord?"

Zhang Gui chuckled, and said: "Just now I spoke with General Wang, I think you have heard it. These guys are indeed not officers and soldiers, but barbarians who live outside the pass by fishing and hunting. Their ancestors were Wei Wei in the past. The Jurchens who shake the world!"

Everyone was shocked when they heard what Zhang Gui said.Qi Jiu said tremblingly: "Jurchen? They, weren't they all killed by the Tartars? Why did they show up outside the pass again?"

Zhang Gui glanced at Qi Jiu and said with disdain: "In the past, the Kingdom of Jin was indeed destroyed by the Tartars. Several ancestors of the leader of the Tartars, Genghis Khan, died at the hands of the Jins. He had a blood feud with the Jins. After the rise of Zizi, he first unified the desert grassland, and then aggressively attacked the Kingdom of Jin. Genghis Khan ordered his generals to kill the Jin people after conquering the Kingdom of Jin. Yixue’s ancestors were bullied and slaughtered by the Jin people. Therefore, every time the Tartars conquered a city in the Kingdom of Jin, they would slaughter the city crazily, killing the corpses of the Jin people all over the field, and blood flowed like rivers.

"At that time, the Jin people were not as tough as they were at the beginning of the founding of the country. When the Tartars came to attack, they often surrendered. But even if the Jin people surrendered without a fight, they would be massacred by the Tartars. They were determined to fight the Tartars. As a result, although the Tartar soldiers were brave and good at fighting, they also suffered a lot of casualties when they confronted the Jin people. There was a general named Mu Huali under Genghis Khan's tent. He was not only brave and good at fighting, but also extremely intelligent. One of the Four Heroes. He knows that if the Tartars want to rule the world, they must not only defeat the Kingdom of Jin, but also the Kingdom of Song. If they continue to fight to the death with the Kingdom of Jin, they will end up losing both sides. Although it is said that the emperor of the Song Kingdom is fatuous and the officials are greedy Corruption, they only want to protect themselves, and they have no courage to go north. However, Song State has been established for hundreds of years, and there are many outstanding people in the country, so it should not be underestimated. When fighting to the death with the Kingdom of Jin, he led a large army to march north suddenly, and the Tartars were in danger of being destroyed. Therefore, Mu Huali advised Genghis Khan that the attack on the Kingdom of Jin must be fought quickly and not delayed for too long. Therefore, it was time to conquer the Kingdom of Jin , still want to recruit and surrender, in order to force the Jin people to surrender as soon as possible, and then go south in a large scale to destroy the Song State in one fell swoop. After the world is unified, it is not too late to slaughter the Jin people.

"After listening to Mu Huali's persuasion, Genghis Khan took Mu Huali as a general and asked him to lead an army to attack the Kingdom of Jin. Mu Huali changed the Tatars' previous strategy of massacring the city, and used both conquest and appeasement in order to make a quick decision and destroy the city. Lost the Kingdom of Jin. Seeing that the Tartar soldiers no longer killed people indiscriminately, the Jin people did not resist as desperately as before. Outside the battlefield, most of them were captured, and all of them were brutally killed by the Tartars. The tragic end was not much better than Song Huizong and Song Qinzong during the Jingkang period.

"After the Tartars destroyed the Kingdom of Jin, they thought about killing the Jin people without the slightest fear. Before the Tartars could do anything, Mu Huali, the general who conquered the Kingdom of Jin, died of a sudden illness. Mu Huali's successor The general of the Tartars thought that Mu Huali was plotting to kill all the Jin people, and he died suddenly after being punished by heaven, so when he killed the Jin people, he could not help being merciful. Many Jin people did not die in the Tartars. Under the sword of the sword, he escaped to the outside of the customs by chance, and made a living by fishing and hunting."

When Zhang Gui said this, he paused for a while, and then continued: "After the Jin people fled the Central Plains, they knew that the Tartars would not let them go. Most of them hid in the remote mountains and lived by fishing and hunting. After the fall of the Kingdom of Jin, although they sent troops outside the pass, the Jin people scattered and hid, and the Tartars were eager to use troops against the State of Song, so they did not go to war outside the pass. No one was willing to go outside the pass to endure hardships, so the Jin people settled down outside the pass. It’s just that the Kingdom of Jin has been destroyed by the Tartars, and the world no longer calls them Jin people, but still calls them Jurchens.

"After the Jurchens escaped from the Central Plains, they lived in a bitterly cold place outside the pass. They made a living by fishing and hunting, and gradually regained their former bravery. After the Tartars occupied the Central Plains, they levied violent taxes and made people angry. After only sitting for decades, the Central Plains There are already swarms of swarms, and the Tartars are busy suppressing the rebels everywhere, so they don't care about the Jurchens outside the pass. The Jurchens saw the right time, moved out of the deep mountains, and thrived, not as embarrassing as before."
