The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 182 The Enemy
Hearing that there were so many benefits, Da Nanyun couldn't bear it any longer, and immediately got up to leave and went to persuade other tribal leaders.

Looking at the back of him leaving in a hurry, Mu Xu showed a meaningful smile, this big Nanyun didn't even think about it, how could there be such a cheap thing in the world.Naturally, his promise would not be false, but he only thought about the benefits of occupying the upper capital, but he didn't think about which of the barbarians around him were not eyeing this place.

Moreover, Mu Xu had a deeper consideration in handing over the upper capital to the Mohe people, because he knew that when the Jurchens attacked Mohe before, they burned, killed and looted some tribes in Mohe. , don't take revenge.

There should be [-] to [-] Jurchens in Shangjing, accounting for about a quarter of the total Jurchen population. If these people are killed by the Mohe people, the two races will become endless enemies in the future.In order to be able to defend Shangjing and deal with Jurchen, the Mohe people will rely more on their Dongping Palace in the future.After these two days of getting along, Mu Xu has already seen through this nation. Although they live between white mountains and black waters, they have long since abandoned the bravery of their ancestors, so there is no need to worry about raising tigers.

Mu Xu originally thought that Wanyan Chi would lead his troops to attack soon, but he was very cautious. He didn't hear the warning horn until the morning of the third day when he was patrolling the camp.Mu Xu didn't dare to be negligent, and hurriedly boarded the arrow tower and looked east, only to see waves of smoke rising in the distance.

Mu Xu immediately signaled to the messenger, and after a while, the camp sounded the sound of drums for the preparation of the army, and groups of soldiers rushed out of the tents and gathered at the designated place.With everything in place, Mu Xu rode a yellow puma, wearing black armor, with a Lingbao bow on his shoulder, and a cold iron spear in his hand, and led [-] cavalry to line up two miles away from the camp.

As the enemy approached, the sound of horseshoes became more and more clear. After half a stick of incense, a team of about [-] cavalrymen appeared in Mu Xu's field of vision, and finally stopped a mile away.

Mu Xu carefully looked at the enemy's army, and found that these Jurchens, except for the leading generals who wore iron armor, almost all ordinary soldiers were in leather armor. The weapons in their hands were either machetes or maces, and the formation was not very neat.But Mu Xu didn't dare to underestimate them at all, because the leather armor and weapons of the enemy soldiers were full of battle marks, even if they were so far away, he could still feel a chilling air coming over his face.

While Mu Xu was sizing up the Jurchen, Wanyan Chi was also observing the other side. He roughly judged that the other side only had more than [-] horsemen after a few glances. Ghost, after all, a lion fights a rabbit with all its strength. Could it be that the Jurchens are paper tigers in the eyes of the enemy generals?

Wan Yanfeng on the side said, "Khan, the enemy dares to send so many people to die, and they don't take us Jurchen warriors seriously. As long as you give an order, I can lead troops to crush them in the blink of an eye. .”

Wanyan Chi lightly whipped his horse, pointed to the big banner with Mu characters in the distance and said, "No hurry, I can recognize that character, it is the surname of King Dongping, and the person who came should be his close relatives, you send someone to pass the message across , I want to meet with the enemy general in front of the formation."

"Yes, I'll do it now." Wan Yanfeng took the order, called a soldier, whispered a few words to him, and then the soldier rushed to the opposite side on horseback.

Mu Xu saw this scene, so he gave instructions to the guards next to him, and the guards also rode out to meet them. After a while, the guards turned around and replied, "Your Majesty, the leader of the Jurchen invites you to burn a stick of incense before the battle." After a while, both sides can each bring ten soldiers."

Mu Xu happened to want to see Wanyan Chi too, so he nodded in agreement, and the guards turned their horses to inform the Jurchens.Yizhuxiang's kung fu was fleeting, and seeing a small group of cavalry in the opposite formation approaching the center, Mu Xu did not hesitate, and led ten personal guards on horseback.

When they were about thirty steps away from each other, both sides stopped at the same time. Mu Xu looked at the middle-aged man surrounded by the opposite side, and saw that his forehead and temples were all shaved, only two braids remained at the back of his head. Hanging on his shoulders, his big round face looked ordinary. If it weren't for those sharp eyes, Mu Xu might have regarded him as an ordinary herdsman.

Wanyan Chi was even more surprised than Mu Xu. He never imagined that the coach opposite him was a handsome young man. He saluted with his seemingly polite right hand on his chest, and said loudly in fluent Chinese: , "Little baby, tell your adults to come out and talk to Ben Khan."

"To deal with an old man like you, I don't need my elders. This son alone is enough." Mu Xu clasped his fists back and saluted, without any downfall in his mouth.

"Shizi..." Wanyanchi murmured softly. When he was young, he had sold ginseng and horses in Fengtian and other places, so he had studied Chinese, so of course he understood the meaning of Shizi.Knowing Mu Xu's identity, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice, and made up his mind to capture Mu Xu alive and use it to blackmail King Dongping.

"It turned out to be the son of Dongping Prince. This Khan is being polite. I don't know what it means for the son to collude with the Mohe people and violate my territory?"

Mu Xu replied loudly, "Patriarch Wanyan is really old. He forgot that you Jurchens swore to surrender to Emperor Taizong, and your grandfather and father even served under my Mu family tent. What kind of family are you? Khan, when did this place become your Jurchen territory?"

Being exposed by Mu Xu, Wanyanchi narrowed his eyes slightly, emitting a dangerous light, "Huh, since ancient times on the grassland, the strong have been respected, and I, Wanyanchi, was chosen by the god Tengger (Note 1) to unify the Jurchens. , how can you not be a khan, and Liaodong used to be a place for the Khitan people, you Han people can snatch it, so can we Jurchens."

"I'm ignorant and ignorant. Since the Han Dynasty, Liaodong has been subject to our Central Plains. During the Tang Dynasty, it was even under the jurisdiction of the Anton Governor's Mansion. As for the Khitan people, they were only allowed to settle here because of the kindness of the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty." Mu Xu said with a sneer.

Wanyan Chi was taken aback, he really didn't know what Mu Xu said, but he had also heard about Datang's prestige, so he understood that what Mu Xu said should be true.After realizing that he was not Mu Xu's opponent with his lip service, he immediately put down his harsh words, "In this case, let's let the subordinates see the truth."

"It's exactly what I want." Mu Xu replied, turned his horse's head at the same time as Wanyan Chi, and ran towards the front of his own formation.

Wanyanchi returned to the formation and ordered to Wanyanfeng, "You personally lead three thousand warriors and defeat the enemy army for me. Remember, you must capture the enemy's general alive. He is the son of Dongping Wang Mujing, and he is of great importance to us. usefulness."

"Yes, sweating." Wan Yanfeng took the order excitedly, and a moment later the horn blew, and three thousand Jurchen cavalry lined up in three rows, led by Wan Yanfeng, howling and rushing towards the opposite side like waves .

Watching the enemy charge, Mu Xu also raised his spear and took the lead. The team formed a wedge formation to meet them. Amid the sound of thunderous hooves, the two sides got closer and closer. After shooting two rounds of arrows at each other, they finally shot fiercely. They collided together, and the sounds of killing, screaming, and weapons colliding were endless.

Mu Xu knew that the Jurchens were planning to surround him with two wings, but he was not afraid at all, because he had absolute confidence in his own force. As long as he could lead the arrow troops to break through the enemy's center, and then go back and charge several times repeatedly, he would definitely be able to To defeat this group of enemy troops, who let the Jurchens push the whole army down,

Wan Yanfeng swung the mace in his hand and smashed the head of an enemy soldier, he didn't care about the red and white things splashed on his face. vivid order.

Unexpectedly, when he found it, he was taken aback. He saw Mu Xu standing in the center of his team, blocking left and right, with unparalleled bravery, and there was no single enemy under his command.Immediately, he was furious, and after casually smashing the chest of a Mohe man, he rode his horse and rushed towards Mu Xu, wanting to capture the thief first and capture the king first.

Just as Mu Xu swept the Jurchens surrounding him off his horse, he felt a gust of wind blowing from his right side. He didn't have time to raise his gun to block it, so he had to hide his body on the left side of the saddle, and finally escaped the fatal blow. After he sat down again and looked carefully, he found that it was the Jurchen general who was the vanguard, and he was overjoyed. He was looking for this guy, but he didn't expect that he would come to his door on his own initiative.
