Qiming 1158

Chapter 463 Su Yonglin feels a little regret

The soldiers of the Restoration Army saw that Wanyan Yiying was well-dressed and was protected. They felt that this was a big fish, so they did not kill him, but swarmed him, dragged him off his horse and captured him alive, offering them to Su Yonglin.

Su Yonglin didn't have time to pay attention to who he was at this time, he just told the soldiers to take good care of him, and then personally led the troops to kill Yanshan County.

Along the way, Su Yonglin bumped into several groups of defeated Jin Army soldiers, killed them all, and finally bumped into a group of people who were not cavalry soldiers.

When he arrived at Yanshan County, Xin Qiji was already sorting out the battlefield. The gate of Yanshan County was wide open, and there was no sign of being guarded.

The thousands of cavalrymen in the Jin Army did not fight much. They mainly fled and surrendered, and they surrendered in large areas.

Su Yonglin was very happy, and couldn't wait to let people find Wanyanliang's trace, and by the way, began to identify the identities of the captives he captured.

Catch Wan Yanliang!
He really wants to catch Wanyan Liang!

Then, after about three quarters of an hour, Su Yonglin learned a surprising piece of news.

"What? Wanyanliang is already dead?!"

He was shocked to learn that Wanyan Liang had died before the Jin army retreated.

This news was given by Yelu Yanshou, the minister of households of the Jin Kingdom who was captured alive. He was the first captured official who cooperated with the Restoration Army. After his confession, more and more officials followed suit. Only then did Su Yonglin find out. The cause and effect of this matter.

Jin Jun knew the news that the logistics had been cut off earlier than they expected, but the news was well blocked, and the soldiers at the bottom had not been informed, so there was no turmoil in the Jin Jun camp.

The turmoil stemmed from infighting among the top leaders of the Jin Army.

Wanyan Liang originally agreed to withdraw the army after learning that the logistics had been cut off, but for some unknown reason, he suddenly repented and did not allow the army to withdraw.

He firmly stated that he would capture Licheng before the food and grass ran out, eliminate Su Yonglin, and seize the food and grass of the Restoration Army for his own use, and the crisis would be resolved immediately.

Jin Jun, headed by Wanyan Benjian, felt that Wanyanliang was crazy and tried to persuade him several times, but Wanyanliang remained unmoved and insisted on fighting Su Yonglin in Licheng.

However, Wanyanliang was not crazy, it was just that their interests and the consequences they had to bear after defeat were completely different.

But it is difficult for human beings to understand each other, and it is also difficult for rulers and ministers to understand each other.

Wanyanliang's decision threatened the vital interests of all the high-level executives, and would destroy them and the main force of the Jin army here. They felt that they could not continue to sit by and watch Wanyanliang die.

They are tired of Wanyanliang's arbitrary and reckless crazy behavior, they have had enough, and they don't want to continue to bear the consequences of Wanyanliang's chaos.

Therefore, they decided to launch a mutiny, control Wanyan Liang, abolish his power, and then retreat with the Jin army.

The plan is planned in this way, but when it comes to the implementation level, there are still many problems.

In short, they tried to solve this incident with military advice, but don't hurt Wanyanliang's life, let Wanyanliang live well, just abolish his status.

But accidentally, they killed Wanyan Liang.

Wanyan Liang died in random arrows. He didn't leave any last words, and he didn't have time to do anything. His most trusted subordinates were all killed, and all the guards were killed.

However, the news of his death was tightly sealed by the top leaders of the Jin Army, along with the news that the army's logistics had been cut off.

The original intention of Wanyan Benjian and other senior officials of the Jin Army was to use more than 20 signed troops and strong men in exchange for the successful return of less than [-] Jin Army elites and the lives of half of the court officials, so as to preserve the military of the Jin Kingdom to the maximum extent. Strength, to prepare for the subsequent Yanyun battle.

But there were unforeseen circumstances, and I didn't know what was going on. The siege camp and the signing army camp were suddenly penetrated by the Restoration Army.

Their original plan was to retreat when the siege camp launched an attack, and go all the way north. Not only would they have a greater chance of returning, but also to appease the emotions of the army, so that the army would not mess up.

In the end, all this was broken by the sudden appearance of the Restoration Army. In desperation, their group followed the troops and escaped first under the arrangement of Wanyan Benjian.

They could be said to be the essence of the entire Golden Army. In addition to the elite cavalry, there were also half of the officials of the imperial court and Wanyan Liang's treated corpse.

In order to hide his whereabouts, Wanyanliang's body was not placed in a normal coffin, but in a large box that seemed to contain a large number of documents.

Su Yonglin got the big box, and when he was surrounded by everyone, he opened it and saw that Wanyanliang's body was curled up and placed in the box. harm.

Looking at Wanyanliang's processed body, and at the prisoners and civilians who hula la and knelt in a circle behind the box, Su Yonglin let out a long sigh.

As a hero, Wanyanliang also once dominated the situation, and once commanded the wind and the rain, enjoying unparalleled power over ten thousand people.

But up to now, there is only such a box left for him, and he can't even lie down peacefully. He can only curl up and be placed like a baby.

He once sat on the throne in charge of the life and death of the world, and executed a large number of powerful people and common people to maintain his position.

But in the end, what was left of him?

"Originally, I had a lot of things I wanted to talk to him about. After all, I have been an enemy for so long, but I haven't even seen one side. There are many things I want to ask him, but he died, so I can only see his body."

Su Yonglin looked at Xin Qiji with regret, and said helplessly, "You'an, is it a little regretful that he just died like this? I really want to talk to him."

Xin Qiji was stunned for a moment, and then laughed dumbly.

"Su Shuai, at this point, it doesn't matter whether Wanyanliang lives or dies, the important thing is that we won. In this battle, we won a big victory."

Xin Qiji cleaned up his clothes and knelt down on one knee in front of Su Yonglin in a military salute.

"My subordinate Xin Qiji congratulates Su Shuai on his great victory and annihilation of the golden thieves!"

Starting from Xin Qiji's congratulations, the long and excited shouts resounded through the sky. In this small world, there were laughter and laughter from the soldiers of the Restoration Army.

This day is February 30th in the [-]th year of Shaoxing in the Southern Song Dynasty and the [-]th year of Jin Zhenglong's reign.

Taking this as the final outcome, the four-month-long battle of Wanyanliang's southern expedition ended with a great victory for the Restoration Army when the spring was cold.

The huge military group with a total of 48 soldiers from the three armies of the Jin Army was wiped out, and the main military force owned by the Jin Kingdom as a country was declared destroyed.

In contrast, the Restoration Army has achieved a complete victory. Facing this victory, the Restoration Army will have an infinite future.

As if to set off this conclusion, at this moment, the rain that had been falling for four consecutive days stopped, and after a ray of rain, the sun pierced through the heavy rain clouds and shone on the earth.

Su Yonglin looked up at the long-lost ray of sunlight, and when he heard the cheers of the soldiers in his ears, he couldn't help but smile.

For the great cause of resisting the Jin Kingdom and overthrowing Jin Ting's rule, this step is half completed.

But for Su Yonglin's ideal, this is the second step in the Long March.

So, his smile and cheerfulness lasted only a short time before he regained his composure again.

He still has many, many things to do.

After the battle here, Su Yonglin quickly arranged for the army to withdraw southwards, and widely dispatched liaison cavalry to go to various places to announce the news that Su Yonglin had won a great victory and Wanyanliang was dead.

Su Yonglin asked the leaders of each army and city to immediately send all their news back to Licheng, Jinan Prefecture, so that Su Yonglin knew what they were doing, especially Sun Ziyi and Su Jue in northern Hebei. Su Yonglin also needed to know what they were doing. what.

Under the urging of the horse and whip, Su Yonglin spent four days taking the captives back to Licheng.

In the Licheng base camp, the people who stayed behind were also working around the clock to collect statistics, capture, settle prisoners, and collect intelligence from all parties. They were busy for seven or eight days, and they didn't even have time to celebrate their victory.

Similarly, Su Yonglin didn't have time to celebrate, so he took everyone who tried to celebrate to sort out everything that happened after the war.
