She Song

Chapter 199

After the Battle of Tu'er Mountain, the Jurchens evacuated and returned north overnight, but they were not afraid of Zhang Jue's attack.

Because Wanyan's mother seemed to have been "concussed" by Zhang Dungu, and her right shoulder was almost stabbed. She lost a lot of blood and was depressed after losing her son. The Jurchen general who was once as strong as a bear was already dying at night. .

The remaining seven to eight hundred Jurchen cavalry were unable to launch another attack on Pingzhou City, so they could only drag Wanyan's mother and the wounded soldiers back to Shangjing in a hurry.

Wanyan's mother retreated, which made Zhang Jue ecstatic.

The Jurchens rose out of the Tiger River. Their soldiers were sharp and invincible. They swept across thousands of miles of the Liao Kingdom, conquering everything and defeating them all, which shocked the world.

Only when he arrived in Pingzhou and encountered his only "disastrous defeat", Zhang Jue thought: Based on this alone, he could brag for the rest of his life.

Zhang Dungu stood aside and said quickly: "Brother, we have to report victory as soon as possible and ask for more rewards and soldiers to come back, otherwise we won't be able to start the pot!"

Zhang Jue nodded repeatedly. After four battles with 5 troops, only [-] men were left. They lost all their money. This debt must be repaid.

So, two cartloads of lime-pickled Jurchen heads were collected, and five cartloads of Jurchens' tattered armor were given to Zhang Dungu to be sent to Yanjing... After all, the King of Zhenbei said: Whatever you win is easy to say!

Zhang Jue also specially selected a group of people from under his command. This group of two hundred infantry and three hundred cavalry, the most elite and brave men, ostensibly "escorted" the captured troops, but in fact they also seemed to show off their strength.

King Zhenbei, let's see if my Pingzhou army is strong.
Zhang Dun firmly understood his clan brother's little thoughts, so he led his troops proudly to the west and headed straight to Yanjing City.

In fact, Xiao Yunhe can definitely be ranked among the top three busiest people since Han Xiaoyao took over Yanyun.

Not only Xiao Yunhe himself, but also Bai Mao, Huan Die and all the internal guards were busy without touching the ground.

There must be people in each of the sixteen states of Yanyun. Yanshan Prefecture, Changsheng Army, Xi people, migrant people, various business guilds, and even every regiment of the reserve force must have personnel.

At the same time, Han Xiaoyao also gave special instructions to carry out more rigorous and detailed special service work against the Jurchens in the north.

With such a huge demand, Xiao Yunhe had no choice but to complain to Han Xiaoyao: "Even if you chop me into 100 yuan, it won't be enough!"

Han Xiaoyao had no choice but to allocate special funds to expand special service recruitment.

After receiving support, Xiao Yunhe recruited 300 people at once for intensive training. Although it could not solve the current situation of manpower shortage, it only took two months to alleviate the problem.

Therefore, at present, most of the intelligence in various places in Yanyun is collected by the caravans of the Hanji Chamber of Commerce.

The battle process of Zhang Jue's troops in Pingzhou at Tu'er Mountain was delivered to Han Xiaoyao one day earlier than Zhang Dungu.

After reading the personal experiences of Zhang Jue's subordinates and the analysis reports from the internal guards sent by Xiao Yunhe, Han Xiaoyao sighed.

"Jurchens are still too powerful now!"

Xiao Yunhe was keenly aware of the word "now", which meant that Han Xiaoyao judged that the Jurchens might become "less powerful" in the future... How did he come to this conclusion?
Could it be possible to predict the future?
In fact, when Xiao Yunhe joined Han Xiaoyao's subordinates, he learned a lot of secrets, especially Han Xiaoyao's personal weird words, including his unbelievable handling methods and decisions, which made him think deeply and fearfully.

However, he did not disclose these abnormalities to anyone, because of occupational diseases, he could not trust anyone except himself.

So, he said with a smile: "The Zhang brothers lost their wealth and collected a thousand heads to send them. What are you going to do with the prince?"

"Although the battle was horrific, at least we fought two battles with real swords and guns. I assure the court that it will be fine for him to be a military governor. As for money, food, soldiers and armor, he will be given the best!"

Xiao Yunhe said with a smile: "I am not a light-hearted person. I sent all the elites here, obviously intending to make a show of it."

Han Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said: "It's okay, let them publicize it. The end of the month is approaching, and the reserve forces will conduct actual military exercises and assessments within three days. At that time, guests from Pingzhou will be invited to observe and give guidance."

Xiao Yunhe was well aware that the reserve's real-force exercises continued Hanji Security's three "obediences" of "difficulty, strictness, and actual combat." The intensity of the fierce confrontation was almost the same as that of the two opposing parties.

I believe Zhang Dungu will have an idea after watching it.The two immediately talked about the health problems of Aguda, the leader of the Jin Kingdom.

According to the news coming back from Beijing, this old hero who had fought all his life suffered from injuries and was now bedridden. Moreover, Jurchen nobles secretly rumored that the old emperor might not be able to survive this winter.

According to the order of Jurchens' accession to the throne, Aguda's fourth brother, Wanyan Wu Qimai, will ascend the throne after Aguda's death by virtue of his status as a master of Bamboo.

Therefore, when the old and new powers were changing, almost all the core Jurchen power figures were stationed in Shangjing.

"Well, while the old guy is still breathing, submit a formal note. We solemnly protest against Jin's aggression. We reserve the right to fight back. At the same time, we ask them to severely punish Wanyan's mother and claim for all war losses, including direct and indirect ones. !”

Xiao Yunhe frowned and asked: "The Jurchens will definitely explode after receiving this letter. Is the prince planning to find an excuse to start a war before they do?"

Han Xiaoyao patted his chest and said: "This letter is just asking for advice. The Jurchen internal power struggle is at a critical moment and they may not send troops. But whether they blow up the pot or not, the people of Yanyun area and the Yanyun Army must keep fighting. , prepare for a big war! Therefore, you can give the people some tips..."

Strike first and occupy the commanding heights of public opinion and morality!

Xiao Yunhe was already familiar with this technique, so he nodded and prepared to go back and get started.

"Xiao Qian is in the road construction team, he may be a little confused, if you have time, you can go and see him."

The sight of Han Xiaoyao leaving made Xiao Yunhe fall into conflict.

At this time, Xiao Qian's identity is very sensitive. He was once the king of the four armies and the emperor of Xi Ren, and now he has become a prisoner of the Zhenguo Army.

Xiao Yunhe is already at the core of Yanyun's power. How should he face Xiao Qian?
After a busy day's work, Xiao Yunhe returned to his house and was finally able to tease his son. However, the melancholy on his eyebrows aroused Yelu Wenying's concern.

After quietly listening to her husband's confusion, Yelu Wenying thought for a while and said: "At least, I believe that King Zhenbei has no ill intentions towards Xi Ren. Now I am afraid that King Xiao himself has some knots in his heart, so I asked you to relieve him. "

Xiao Yunhe nodded, sighed, and said slowly: "Of course I understand, but I heard that King Xiao is not in good condition, and I am afraid that going over it will irritate him..."

Yelu Wenying smiled and said: "I think you are overthinking. King Xiao is such a smart person. If you can really give him a heads-up, it might be a way to wake him up."

Seeing that Xiao Yunhe was silent for a while, Yelu Wenying continued: "Tomorrow, my son and I will accompany you. We will not talk about state affairs, but only family ties."

Xiao Yunhe's eyes flashed. His wise wife was right. This was indeed a good way to avoid embarrassment.

Therefore, early the next morning, Xiao Yunhe changed into regular clothes and personally drove a carriage to drive his wife and infant son out of the city.

According to the information obtained, Xiao Yunhe found Xiao Qian wearing labor uniforms on the side of the road leading to Tanzhou.

So, Yelu Wenying held her son, and Xiao Yunhe carried the food box, and expressed their intention to the foreman, saying that they were Xiao Qian's younger relatives and came to pay special respects.

Although the foreman did not know Xiao Yunhe and Yelu Wenying, their status and temperament as well as the carriage showed that the other party was not an ordinary person, not to mention Xiao Qian himself was not an ordinary person.

So, Xiao Qian was quickly notified to come out and meet.

The closer Xiao Qian got, the more he felt that the two visiting people seemed familiar. It was not until they met that he vaguely remembered that the other party was indeed his younger relative.

Putting down the food box, Xiao Yunhe bowed deeply: "Uncle Six, Yunhe has given you a gift!"

Yelu Wenying on the side also hugged her son and bowed to Xiao Qian.

Xiao Qian's memory suddenly came alive.

"Yunhe? You're not dead?!"
