Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 64: Generals are away and military orders are not obeyed
  To a certain extent, my family must be aware of their situation. The Jin people defeated the Liao Kingdom in just a few years. They relied on strong soldiers and horses, and they also relied on fighting to support war.

They are not launching a huge national war, but like hunting an old beast, they chase it patiently, drain its blood, inflict injuries on it, eat its cubs, and grow their own. Strength, and finally when you grow into a beast as powerful as it, you will kill it, and then enjoy the gluttonous feast in front of you.

The bitter cold land of white mountains and black waters has developed their warlike and ferocious nature like wild beasts.

But now the war has slowed down, and the Liao people have been completely imprisoned in the Jiashan area. The next step is the slow and leisurely hunting process. Wanyan Zongwang heard that Emperor Tianzuo was prancing around in the Jiashan area again, and he wished he could bring his army there again to kill him. Give the Liao people a beating.

In history, it was true that he was constantly leading troops to pursue Emperor Tianzuo, but now, he was detained in Pingzhou by the emperor's decree, and he was neither allowed to go back nor start a war without permission. Zhang Dungu, the defender of Pingzhou, surrendered and rebelled again. He killed the Jin envoys and defended the city.

Therefore, the order from above was for Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu to retake "Nanjing."

The order had been passed on long ago, but Wanyan Zongwang still had some thoughts of his own.

Siege is a bad debt. In fact, as long as the siege lasts for half a month, the city will collapse without food and water. Therefore, he had no intention of attacking the city. He had sent small groups of cavalry into Yan several times to ask for Zhang Jue from the Changsheng Army and the Song people, and asked his envoy to tell them that if they did not surrender, he would lead his army to fight. .

Having said that, he actually took the initiative to seek opportunities for outdoor confrontation between the two armies.

As long as the ever-victorious army takes the initiative to start a war, they will have it
  "Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

There were constant cries of ghosts and wolves howling outside the camp. A wet whip could kill someone, not to mention it was still snowing outside. The kind of people in TV dramas who can grit their teeth and not cry out in pain after being whipped do not exist normally. Going down can be so painful that one's mind goes blank, and screaming has become a subconscious action.

The voices of several young Jin officers gradually became lower. Wanyan Zongwang, wearing a gray wolf fur, watched coldly as several officers under the tent were beaten to death. There was no wave in his eyes from the beginning to the end. He glanced at the corpses and said in a deep voice. :
  "From now on, if anyone dares to sell war horses, equipment, money and food privately, the Golden Law can spare you, but I cannot. This is the fate of such thieves. Don't do it again!"

Several Jin generals followed him obediently. When they returned to the camp, the warmth of the fire made everyone's faces appear a little red, but the scene just now pierced their hearts like an ice pick.

The former generous and bold Wanyan Zongwang has slowly turned into the majestic deputy capital commander in front of him.

The curtain was lifted, and a young woman in golden clothes walked in. Even though the clothes were simple, you could clearly see her fair and beautiful face and slender figure. She wore a felt hat, long hair hanging down to her waist, and small and exquisite clothes on her feet. deerskin boots.

After she walked up to Wanyan Zongwang and bowed, when she raised her head, there was a hint of sadness that could not be resolved between her eyebrows, but she was more charming and charming.

Several Jin generals present lowered their heads and did not dare to look.

Before coming to Pingzhou, Wanyan Zongwang had been leading his army to pursue Emperor Tianzuo and fight with him. This extremely coquettish and beautiful Khitan woman named Yelu Yuliyan was a princess of Shu from Liao Kingdom. Wanyan Zongwang also After a great victory over the Liao people, he was rewarded as his wife.

"You're here." Wanyan Zongwang's eyes showed a touch of fire, and he motioned Yelu Yuliyan to come to him, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

The hot breath sprayed onto Yelu Yuliyan's earlobes, and she trembled all over to hide the disgust in her eyes.

Just when Wanyan Zongwang seemed to be preparing to do something, an announcement sounded outside. Immediately afterwards, a general came in, bowed and saluted, and then reported: "Five sentries did not come back on time. They were stationed in Hancheng Town. The soldiers and horses also sent people to deliver a message back, saying that they had encountered the cavalry of the Ever Victorious Army."

"Victorious Army"

Wanyan Zongwang's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously increased his strength in his hands. Yelu Yuliyan, who was lying in his arms, let out a cry and frowned, feeling a little painful.

"Do you know who is coming with the cavalry of the Ever Victorious Army? Pharmacist Guo?"

"The person who sent the letter said that the leader of the cavalry army seemed to have the banner of Liu Ling, the defense envoy of Zhuozhou in the Song Dynasty."

Wanyan Zongwang pushed Yelu Yuliyan away, stood up, and licked his lips excitedly.

"Beat the drums to gather the generals."

"No, Tongtong!" the deputy general quickly advised: "The emperor has an order that we are absolutely not allowed to take the initiative to go to war with the Song people. We will have difficulty maintaining money and food in the rear. Once the war starts, we will..."

"It's okay, I just took some soldiers and horses out to have a look." Wanyan Zongwang said nonchalantly. His lieutenant was a surrendered general of the Liao Kingdom. He usually did pretty well, so Wanyan Zongwang was more polite to him, but in this situation At that time, what the Liao surrendered general said was no different from farts in his ears. "Isn't there an old saying in the Central Plains?" Wanyan Zongwang yawned and said, "If the general is out, military orders will be ignored."

"Huh, Liu Ling." He seemed to suddenly remember something, and looked at the woman who stood aside silently after being pushed away, as quiet as an object.

"That mother of yours is still an aunt or something. It seems that she was shot dead by Liu Ling with an arrow, right?"

Yelu Yuliyan remained silent, "Just smile." Wanyan Zongwang raised his head and grabbed her mouth, forcing her to smile despite the pain in Yelu Yuliyan's eyes.

"Don't worry, since you are my woman, then I can also be regarded as your son-in-law of Daliao. Haha, maybe I can avenge this revenge for you."

"gone."

Figures soon kept pouring out of the military camp outside Pingzhou City. The defenders at the head of the city were so frightened that they hurriedly gathered together. The Jin people didn't even look at them and headed west under Wanyan Zongwang's order.

Smoke and dust billowed behind him.

When a large number of victorious army cavalry galloped wildly, they did have the momentum of "thousands of cavalry rolling up a hill". However, Liu Ling originally had hundreds of cavalry. Guo Yaoshi later gave him more than 2,000 cavalry to make up for the three. After several thousand, let him attack Xiongzhou.

When Liu Ling came back, Guo Yaoshi took back more than a thousand cavalry and put them in his own army, and then found some excuses to give some away to others. In the end, Liu Ling only had more than a thousand cavalry left.

The only advantage is that except for the hundreds of trusted soldiers in his own headquarters, Liu Ling is now confident that he can completely eat other cavalry that do not belong to him.

Pharmacist Guo didn't give many benefits this time, and Shi Liai's attitude was worth pondering. Liu Ling had no intention of helping Han Town to drive away the Jin army, and not long after he appeared near Han Town, he originally had only The Jinjun camp of more than 300 people used some method to quickly call in more reinforcements.

But they still remained wary of the Ever Victorious Army and did not take the initiative to attack. They seemed to be worried about something.

Liu Ling has not shown up since yesterday.

He ordered Zhang Wu to lead the cavalry to harass outside the Jin camp. The purpose was to intimidate the Jin army and try to force them to disorganize themselves. At the same time, he could go back and make a deal.

When the defenders at the city wall of Han Town saw the appearance of the Evervictorious Army cavalry, they immediately burst into cheers, as if they were surviving a disaster. They looked expectantly at the already large number of Evervictorious Army cavalry, hoping to see them. It can stand up and tear the golden man into pieces.

At this moment, Zhang Wu put his hand to his mouth and blew a short whistle. Suddenly, the order flag waved, and the cavalry around him rushed out to deliver new orders.

Under the vigilance of the Jin people, and under the longing gaze of the Han Town garrison, Zhang Wu led the cavalry to slow down, even start to turn around, and then speed up without hesitation.

At this time, the defenders at the top of the city also exclaimed. When the Ever Victorious Army was about to arrive in front of the Jin camp outside the city, further away, there were suddenly countless Jin flags flying. At the same time, A sound that could truly shake the earth came overwhelmingly, as if a giant beast had opened its huge mouth and roared, revealing a terrifying aura that made people palpitate.

A large number of Jin soldiers and cavalry appeared in the distance. It was unknown how many they were for a while, and they rushed straight towards them like a torrent.

During the short chase, the cavalry of the Ever Victorious Army did not dare to turn back and fight back, and soon completely collapsed. A large number of cavalry abandoned the Chinese army and disappeared into the heavy snow without hesitation. The two men who were surrounded by dozens of soldiers "General", one of them was suddenly hit by an arrow and rolled over. The other man immediately stopped his horse, stretched out his hand towards the man, and tried to pull him onto his horse.

But it was too late. At least a hundred Jin cavalry rushed to their side at this moment, because the two men were obviously wearing general armor. The Golden captain raised his hand. After he gave the order, the Jin cavalry They immediately opened their bows and killed the two generals' followers.

The captain dismounted, raised his sword and walked up to the two victorious generals who dared not speak out. He raised his sword and pointed it at the young man who was hit by an arrow and fell from his horse. He asked in vague Liao dialect: " Who are you?"

"My name is Liu Ling." The young man replied coldly. He stood up reluctantly, took a breath, and pointed at the general next to him, "I am the person Wanyan Zongwang wants. He is my deputy general. If you let him go, I will I will go back with you alive."

The captain nodded, then raised the hilt of his sword and struck him twice, knocking him unconscious. More and more Jin soldiers gathered around him. The captain pondered for a moment and looked at the victorious general next to him.

"What he said is wrong. You are the Liu Ling."

The other party's face changed slightly, and he lowered his head and said nothing.
