Chapter 471 0468 [How dare you rebel against Song Dynasty and surrender to Qi Dynasty! 】

Yongxing Military Road.

Yan'an Prefecture.

Yan'an Prefecture was originally Yanzhou, and it was promoted to the prefecture during the Yuanyou period.

This place and the three prefectures of Lin, Fu, and Feng controlled by the Zhe family were the main battlefields between Zhao, Song, and Xixia.

In particular, Yan'an Prefecture is an important town in the northwest border defense. For more than a hundred years, the two sides came and went here, fighting no less than 200 times, large and small.

After Yang Weizhong put down the rebellion of Zhu's father and son in Shuzhong, he was thrown back to Yan'an by Zhao Ji, which shocked Xixia.

Although he failed to suppress Han Zhen, he was still very good at dealing with the Xixia people.

Over the years, he and Brother Richard have been fighting each other. Today you conquer a village, and tomorrow I occupy a fortress. There are always comings and goings.

However, the overall national strength of Xixia was far behind that of Zhao and Song, and its population was sparse. Every time Xixia attacked a stronghold, it cost hundreds or even thousands of soldiers their lives.

Over time, Xixia gradually fell into decline and was pushed back all the way.

If Li Qianshun hadn't requested the Liao Kingdom to mediate, Yang Weizhong's fortress would have almost reached Xingqing Mansion.

There is no other way. After all, the Xixia area is still too small, and the strategic depth is not enough. Moreover, 90% of the land is the Gobi desert or high mountains, making it uninhabitable. Only the area along the Yellow River in the south is the livable zone.

Xingqing Mansion is less than three hundred miles away from Xi'an Prefecture, which is the closest place to Zhao Song.

When reports of the war in the south reached Yan'an Mansion, Yang Weizhong immediately decided to lead his troops to serve the king.

But before he could leave the military camp, he saw Yao Gu leading a group of personal guards to block him and asked, "How do you want to treat General Yang?"

"Of course he leads his troops to serve the king!"

Yang Weizhong said of course.

Yao Gu said calmly: "Your Majesty is enshrining Zen in Mount Tai now, why do you need King Qin?"

Yang Weizhong was shocked and looked at Yao Gu with disbelief.

After regaining consciousness, he pointed at Yao Gu and said angrily: "Yao Gu, your Yao family has been favored by the emperor for a long time, but now you dare to rebel against Song Dynasty and surrender to Qi Dynasty?"

Hearing this, Yao Gu was not angry and asked instead: "The Song Dynasty has surrendered to Qi Dynasty long ago. Emperor Jingkang is now retiring in Shandong. The puppet Song Dynasty in the south was only established by the two traitors Tong Guan and Cai Jing. How can we talk about rebelling against Song Dynasty and surrendering to Qi Dynasty?" Qi Zhi said? As old ministers of Zhao and Song Dynasty, even if we want to repay the emperor's favor, we should kill the two traitors Tong Guan and Cai Jing and rescue the Supreme Emperor and King Yun Kai."

I have to say that the "Essay on Punishing the Counterfeiting of the Song Dynasty" written by Zhao Huan himself is of great use.

Directly in terms of legal system, it denied the Zhao and Song Dynasties in the south.

"伱......"

Yang Weizhong was speechless for a moment, and then refuted: "It's a bunch of nonsense. This matter is fabricated by fake Qi and cannot be fully believed."

Yao Gu was prepared. He took out a letter from his arms and handed it over: "General Yang, this is a letter written by Emperor Jingkang. Please take a look."

Looking at the letter, Yang Weizhong looked ugly.

He knew that this letter was most likely true, but he also understood that the fact that Zhao Ji was a puppet was false.

What tricks does the Supreme Emperor have? Tong Guan and Cai Jing are just dogs. They can retreat whenever they want. How can they hold the Supreme Emperor hostage?

Thinking of this, Yang Weizhong shouted: "Yao Gu, you dare to fake the emperor's letter. Come here, get it for me!"

The words fell, but the bodyguard behind him remained motionless.

For a moment, Yang Weizhong felt a biting chill rushing straight to the sky.

What is a personal guard?

That was Zhenger Bajing's confidant. In the Tang Dynasty, he was called a retainer. He was a person who shared honors and disgrace, and advanced and retreating with the head of the family.

Yao Gu ordered to Yang Weizhong's bodyguard: "General Yang is ill. Please send General Yang back to his home and take good care of him. Don't neglect him."

"General, I'm offended."

"General, the overall situation is our top priority!"

"..."

The personal guards gathered around and tried to persuade him.

In the past few months, the Western Army has been eating and drinking from Han Zhen. Even the long-lost salary was paid by Han Zhen.

As a result, the Western Army, from top to bottom, had long regarded themselves as soldiers of the Qi State.

Yang Weizhong was the only one who was kept in the dark.

He is a man who is good at fighting, but is too slow and naive in politics.

Yao Gu stretched out his hand and signaled: "General Yang, please stop."

"Ah."

Yang Weizhong gave a wry smile, looked deeply at Yao Gu, and strode out of the military camp.

He is not stupid, even his own bodyguards have been incited to rebel. In this huge military camp, I am afraid that not even a single soldier can be mobilized.

After Yang Weizhong left, the leader of the personal guards behind Yao Gu suggested: "General, now that the Qi State is aggressively attacking the Song Dynasty, we should also go south and contribute."

The southern imperial army defeated the weak and collapsed at the first touch. This is all military merit.

Looking at the battle reports sent back from the Xuzhou Army in the south, the eyes of the Western Army turned red with envy.

"Although Xixia promised your majesty to hold the troops still, Li Qianshun is a man of many mistakes and has to be on guard, so we can't move."

Yao Gu explained, and then said: "I know you are eager to achieve great results, but just guarding the border and keeping an eye on Xixia is already a great achievement."

In addition to guarding Xixia, there was one more thing he didn't say clearly.

Once the Guan family lost in Yunzhou, the Jin army went south to counterattack in large quantities. The 100,000 Western troops stationed in the northwest could move north at any time.

Of course, this is a last resort, and the Western Army will not move unless it is absolutely necessary.

Thinking of this, Yao Gu looked in the direction of Yunzhou from a distance.

……

……

The spring rain is continuous.

On the trail, a large army marched slowly.

At the end of the front, there are undulating mountains.

A guard reported: "Ten thousand households, Qifeng Mountain is ten miles ahead."

Hearing this, Wanyan Yinshuke raised his head and glanced at the increasingly dark sky, and ordered: "Send the spies ten miles away to cut down trees and set up camp, and bury pots to make rice!"

Wanyan Yinshu is over fifty this year, but his body is still strong and his strength has not diminished at all.

Among the entire Jin Kingdom, only Wanyan Loushi can be slightly better than him in terms of strategy and bravery, and the rest are not worthy of mention. It's a pity that he and Wanyan Lou's family are both side branches. Although they have the same surname as Wanyan, they are actually incompatible with Wanyan Agu.

For example, Wanyan Loushi is the clan leader of Yatase and other Qishui tribes.

Such status is destined to rank second to others no matter how high their merits are.

Although Wanyan Zonghan was not of the same lineage as Gailibo, his father was Wanyan Sagai, the first generation of state minister. How could Lou Shi, the head of the Qishui clan, compare to him?
When Wanyan Yingge died of illness that year, Aguda succeeded him as the head of the Jurchen tribe alliance. In order to consolidate his position, he and Wanyan Sagai divided the tribes into administrations.

Taking Pishui as the boundary, Aguda ruled the north and Wanyan Sagai ruled the south.

It can be seen from this that the power of Wanyan's reform was great.

After a while, the civilian husband and soldiers began to get busy.

Cut down trees, level the land, and pitch tents.

In less than half an hour, a simple military stronghold was built.

After entering the main account, Wanyan Yinshu can summon his generals to discuss matters.

The two generals walked into the main tent after taking the lead.

One is his younger brother Wanyan Balisu, and the other is his eldest son Wanyan Yuying.

Surrounded in front of the map, Wanyan Yuying said in a deep voice: "Father, the road in Qifeng Mountain is rugged and it is easy to set up an ambush, so we must be on guard."

The first three generations of nobles of the Jin Kingdom were all killed in a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood.

Although Wanyan Yunying was young, he had also conquered the Liao Kingdom with his father. Last year in Taiyuan, he killed a number of Song soldiers who were afraid. Because of his meritorious service, he was promoted to conquer the country and was given jurisdiction over three hundred households.

Don't underestimate these three hundred households, all of them are Jurchens.

Each of these Jurchens is equivalent to a small tribe, with dozens of households of northern and southern Han, Khitan, and Bohai people under their command.

In other words, one Muke could actually control as many as three to five thousand people under his command.

"I know."

Wanyan Yinshu nodded.

It is not unexpected that the Qi army set up an ambush in Qifeng Mountain. It would be abnormal not to set up an ambush.

After carefully looking at the map, Wanyan Balisu analyzed: "In my opinion, the place for the ambush should be in Danwu Valley. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is a must-pass road, making it an excellent location for an ambush. "

Wanyan said contemptuously in an English tone: "It has been raining for the past few days, and the Qi army's firearms cannot be used. Even if they set up an ambush, we are not afraid."

In field battles, they have never been afraid of anyone.

Hearing this, Wanyan Yinshu scolded: "Don't underestimate the enemy. In addition to firing weapons, the Qi army's soldiers themselves are also extremely brave. Wushu and others died at the hands of Han Zhen, and even Oriyan almost died. "

"Father, the child knows."

Due to her father's power, Wanyan Yuying nodded in response, but she still felt disdainful.

Wanyan Bali quickly asked: "How does the elder brother plan to deal with it?"

"Use the trick!"

Wanyan Yinshuke said in a deep voice: "Ba Lisu, you lead two thousand cavalry, have dinner later, carry two days of dry food, set off at night, go around to the north of Dangwu Valley and hide. When the two armies fight, , taking advantage of the chaos to fight out from the north."

"it is good."

Wanyan Bali responded quickly.

After dinner and feeding the horses, he led two thousand cavalry and disappeared into the night.

The next day.

The rain stopped, but the sky did not clear up and was still gloomy.

Wan Yan Yin Shu can break camp and set off to enter Qifeng Mountain.

……

In the dense forest on the left side of Wugu, Han Zhen was sitting cross-legged on the ground, munching on dry biscuits.

The dry and cold bread was hard and rough, and there were uncrushed wheat husks in it, which made my throat sting when I swallowed it.

Under normal circumstances, during the march, the pancakes would be soaked in porridge water and eaten after they were soaked until soft.

But right now, because of the ambush, they can't make a fire, so they can only eat dry.

Experienced veterans always chew the dry biscuits and water into a paste before swallowing.

At this moment, Qiu Niu ran up quickly: "Report, Wanyan Yinshu's army has entered Qifeng Mountain. According to this, within twenty miles, most of the three thousand cavalry are missing."

Lao Jiu immediately said: "The missing cavalry must have been ambushing us as a surprise force, hoping to catch us off guard."

Han Zhen ordered: "Expand the search scope and be sure to find the traces of those cavalry before the day after tomorrow."

He has absolute confidence in the scout camp.

As the ace unit of the Qingzhou Army, he has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats.

"Order!"

Qiu Niu answered with cupped fists, and then left in a hurry.

The mountain road is twenty miles long, which is different from the plains. Especially during the rainy season, it is enough for an army to walk for two or three days.

Sure enough, on the afternoon of the second day, the scout battalion found traces of Wanyanba Lisu.

Qiu Niu reported: "Your Majesty, traces of cavalry were found on the second peak on the north side. There are about two thousand people, one man and two cavalry."

"Ah."

Han Zhen nodded.

As long as you know the other party's traces, it will be easy to deal with it.

Immediately, he asked again: "Where is Wanyan Silver Technique?"

Qiu Niu replied: "It's less than five miles away. We are setting up camp to rest. We expect to arrive at Dangwu Valley at 10 noon tomorrow."

At this time, Lao Jiu suggested: "Your Majesty, Yin Shu obviously wants to take a rest for the night. Tomorrow he will fight with our army in the Dangwu Valley. Why not make a surprise attack at night and catch the opponent by surprise?"

Han Zhen shook his head and objected: "Silver skills are not mediocre. It is impossible to be unprepared. A night attack is too dangerous."

When it comes to marching and fighting, Wanyan Loushi is undoubtedly the number one person in the Jin Kingdom, followed by Wanyan who is good at silver skills. As for Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan, they have to step aside.

As for Jin Wushu, who died in the hands of Han Zhen, he was the only one left with a disease that killed the older generation, so he could take the lead.

Otherwise, in terms of merit and ability, it would never be his turn.
