The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 532
After making a serious note to the Song court in his heart, Mu Xu immediately started to deal with the golden soldiers in front of him.

In his opinion, the reason why Wanyan Zongbi has such a big name in later generations is largely due to Yue Fei's glory. If compared with Wanyan Zonghan, he is probably far inferior.

Take the attack on Juyongguan this time as an example. If Wanyan Zonghan was in Yanjing, he would definitely not be so unwise. He knew that Wanyan Loushi and Mu Xu had a feud with Mu Xu, but he still sent him to lead the army.

It's not to say that Yan Loushi will definitely lose, but at least various factors should be taken into consideration before the battle. Before thinking about victory, thinking about defeat is the quality that a qualified commander should have.

When he first saw that it was Wanyan Loushi who led his troops, Mu Xu vaguely had a plan to defeat the enemy in his heart.

This plan is not complicated, it is nothing more than taking advantage of Wanyan Loushi's eagerness for revenge.

Therefore, there are no less than [-] horses in Juyong Pass, which is far more than the [-] Jin soldiers, but Mu Xu chooses to guard the pass.

As a result, it can take the opportunity to dampen its spirit and consume a wave of gold troops by the way.Secondly, Mu Xu wanted to see Wanyan Loushi's reaction when the siege was unfavorable.

The result did not disappoint Mu Xu. After seeing him appear and close the gate, Wanyan Loushi not only did not retreat due to casualties, but stepped up the pace of attacking the pass. Obviously, he was somewhat influenced by his emotions, which gave him a chance to take advantage of it. opportunity.

In the next few days, apart from continuing to guard the city during the day, Mu Xu would continue to fight thunderously at night. Retreat without reluctance.

After going on and on for several days, Wanyan Loushi was harassed beyond belief.It's not that he didn't think of a way, but no matter whether he set up an ambush in advance or waited for work, he couldn't do anything to Mu Xu, which made his anger grow stronger day by day.

After being attacked by Mu Xusheng again to burn some food and grass, Wanyan Loushi simply ordered that the whole army guard the camp at night and ignore the enemy's harassment.

Sure enough, in the next two days, the Dingxiang army saw that they couldn't gain any advantage, so they gradually died down. Seeing this, Wanyan Loushi was very proud.

This fellow laughed at Mu Xu for only playing tricks that would not stand out, and did not dare to confront their Jurchen Erlang head-on.On the one hand, they were even more unscrupulous, attacking Juyongguan with all their strength, and even took the lead a few times, almost reaching the top of the city in one fell swoop.

This gave Wanyan Loushi an illusion, making him believe that as long as he persisted for a few more days, he could break through the Juyongguan fortress in one go and avenge his son Wanyan and his daughter.

In fact, all of this is Mu Xu's calculation. He first used the strategy of exhaustion to make Wanyan Loushi lose his vigilance, and then deliberately withdrew and shut down half of the defenders. illusion.

Finally, after another day of bloody battle between the two sides, Mu Xu saw that the sky was gloomy and it was raining in autumn, so he knew that the time to defeat the enemy had come.

In the night of that day, Mu Xu personally led [-] cavalry, quietly left the pass, and launched a surprise attack on Jinying at the second watch.

Due to the high-intensity battles in the past few days and the rain during the day, most of the golden soldiers slept very peacefully that night.

What's more, the time Mu Xu chose was precisely the time when people can sleep most peacefully. With the cover of the sound of rain, it was not until the Dingxiang army broke into the Jin army's camp and let all the horses run away that the Jin army could not sleep. Waking up from a dream.

But there was still no time at this time. Facing the well-prepared Dingxiang army, many Jin soldiers did not fight back at all, and were trampled to death by war horses, or fell down by sabers.

For a moment, the entire Golden Camp was in chaos, and as far as the eye could see, there were broken soldiers running around everywhere.

At the forefront of the Dingxiang army, Mu Xu rode on a horse, leading his troops to kill the Jin soldiers, and at the same time said to Sun Yi and Yan Qing on the left and right, "The Jin men have no horses, and now they are lambs waiting to be slaughtered. Xiao Yi , you will lead [-] cavalry around the periphery to prevent the enemy from escaping, and the rest will be commanded by General Sun to clear the enemy camp on the spot."

Yan Qing asked anxiously, "What about you, envoy?"

Mu Xu laughed and said, "Of course I will go to find Yan Loushi and send him off personally!"

After all, before the two could speak to persuade him, he slapped his horse on his crotch, and led more than fifty personal guards, and rushed towards the position of the Jin Renzhong army's big tent.

Under the leadership of Mu Xu, this small group of troops was like a sharp sword, easily tore a hole in the chaotic army, and arrived not far from the target in a short time.

With the help of the light from the large tent, Mu Xu easily found Wanyan Lou's room, and saw this guy wearing crooked armor, and was hurriedly getting on his horse with the help of his own soldiers.

"Wanyan Loushi, where are you going!" Seeing that this guy was about to run away, Mu Xu immediately yelled and rushed over.

Hearing Mu Xu's roar, Wanyan Loushi was terrified. He hurriedly kicked away the soldiers who were fixing his stirrups, swung his whip desperately to beat the horse, and fled in the opposite direction, without any thought of revenge for his son.

Mu Xu didn't expect that this fellow would be so decisive that he would abandon the entire army. In order to prevent him from escaping, he hurriedly mobilized his horses to chase after him.

It's just that after chasing tens of meters, the distance between the two became farther and farther, but it was Mu Xu who was blocked by the nearby soldiers. In addition, he changed to a black horse to attack the camp tonight. The Zhaoye Jade Lion is so fast that it can't catch it for a while.

Seeing this, he became anxious immediately, raised his hand and stabbed the golden soldiers in front of him to death, then aimed at Wanyan Loushi's back, and threw the steel spear in his hand with all his strength.

At this time, Mu Xu had almost finished the third level of the Exercise Art. His strength was astonishing. He saw the steel gun turn into a bolt of lightning in the night, and it hit Wanyan Loushi's back firmly in the blink of an eye. He let out a scream. Afterwards, he was nailed to the ground with his man and horse.

The golden soldiers who witnessed this astonishing scene felt as if they were struck by lightning, and they could no longer give up the heart of resistance. As some people began to put down their weapons and catch them without a fight, it was like a plague spreading one by one, and they surrendered after a while.

In this battle, Mu Xu led his troops to win more with less, and at the cost of no more than a hundred casualties, he wiped out more than [-] Jin soldiers and captured no less than [-], which can be said to be the first victory in the world.

By dawn the next day, the battlefield had been cleaned.In the continuous autumn rain, the prisoners of the Kingdom of Jin, under the escort of the Dingxiang Army, formed a team of captains and gathered towards the open space in Juyongguan.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Sun Yi asked Mu Xu for instructions, "Master, how to deal with these prisoners of war?"

Mu Xu didn't have a good impression of these robbers, and subconsciously wanted to kill them, but when the words came to his lips, he suddenly thought that Yundi was vast and sparsely populated, and there were still large areas of uncultivated land, so he said,
"Screen out the Han'er, Khitan, Xi, and Bohai people among them, and those who are not stained with the blood of the Han people will be selected and incorporated into our army. As for the Jurchen barbarians, let them go to the fields."

"Tuntian?"

"That's right, garrison the fields! In the future, our soldiers and horses will increase day by day, and the number of military fields rewarded to the soldiers must not be enough. Simply letting the Jurchens go to cultivate them is also regarded as waste utilization."

After hearing Mu Xu's explanation, Sun Yi said knowingly, "Yes, my subordinates will order the soldiers not to kill prisoners at will."

After finishing speaking, he worried again, "We've dealt a tough blow to the Jurchens this time, and I'm afraid they won't let it go."

But Mu Xu didn't care and said, "It doesn't matter, even without this incident, the Kingdom of Jin is our mortal enemy, and unless one side perishes, there will never be a day of reconciliation. If that's the case, why care about such trivial matters?
Let them come, it's nothing more than soldiers coming to cover the water and soil.And just take this opportunity to transfer all the soldiers and horses in turn, and use the hands of the golden men to train the soldiers. "

Having said that, Mu Xu cast his gaze on Sun Yi's face, and solemnly confessed, "The safety of Juyongguan is in the hands of General Sun. In case of major events, the general will decide on his own, and there is no need to inform me."

Sun Yi heard the meaning behind Mu Xu's words, and hurriedly asked, "Does your envoy want to leave?"

Mu Xu nodded and replied, "Yeah, I've been away from Yunzhou for a long time, it's time to go back and have a look. Besides, there is a King Yun waiting for me!"

……

Rumble.

Amid the tremors of the earth, a cavalry in strong and sharp clothes appeared outside Yunzhou City. There were about a thousand of them. They were dressed in black armor and red tasseled helmets on their heads. They were solemn and solemn, exuding an astonishing momentum.

Seeing this, the people at the gate of the city avoided the side of the road one after another, and started discussing with some knowledge.

"What an elite team, much stronger than the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom in the past."

"Hey, let me tell you, Wang Xiaowu, you're a carpenter, you know what an elite is, and you're still bragging about it, so you're not afraid of the wind blowing your tongue!"

"Why don't I understand? I'll tell you, Mr. Liu, don't believe me! This cavalry is the Xuanjia soldiers of our Jiedushi, and every one of them is a hero!"

Another person who was watching interjected, "You have some knowledge, but what does it have to do with you, do you need to be so proud?"

Wang Xiaowu puffed up his chest and said proudly, "I'm sorry, but my nephew Wang Gan is in this army. He just sent a letter back the day before yesterday. Do you know what the letter said?"

"Yo, you mean that nephew of yours who fights all day long. I didn't expect this kid to be really successful. I wonder what he said in the letter?"

"Yes, don't show off, come and listen!"

"My nephew wrote in a letter saying that he followed our Jiedu envoy to defeat the Jin army and cut off four heads with his own hands. Now he has been promoted to sergeant after hard work and has been granted a hundred acres of land."

As soon as Wang Xiaowu's words came out, there was an uproar immediately, and he was immediately surrounded by people, who asked about the details. Some people focused on Jin Bing, but most of the people's attention was focused on that person. Attracted by a hundred acres of land, he secretly decided whether to send his nephew of the right age to join the army, so as to make his family rich.

It can be said that with the passage of time, the power of the military merit system began to gradually appear among the people. It is expected that in the near future, under Mu Xu's rule, there will be a wave of joining the army.

The only pity is that Mu Xu didn't see this scene with his own eyes. He was hugging the sons born to Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang, laughing and laughing non-stop, and sitting in the room were Zhao Yuannu with a big belly, and Li Shishi. wait for girl.

"Can Mr. Xiang think of a name for the child?"

Hearing Zhao Fujin's question, Mu Xu was taken aback for a moment, with embarrassment appearing on his face.

Hu Sanniang said sharply, "Master, you won't forget this matter, will you?"

Mu Xu laughed, "What do you mean by forgetting? I can't make up my mind at the moment. I don't know what to name the child!"

These words are also fooling outsiders, as Mu Xu's pillow, how can the girls not see his discomfort?They were immediately filled with righteous indignation, and unanimously counted him down.

Mu Xu knew he was in the wrong, so he kept begging for forgiveness. After promising a lot of benefits, he finally got through this test.

Just when their family was enjoying themselves, the voice of the maid Lu Zhu announced from outside, "My lord, His Royal Highness King Yun is here to visit!"

Mu Xu frowned upon hearing this, if it wasn't for Zhao Kaijin's face, he would have scolded his mother.This fellow Zhao Kai is too ungrateful, how could he rush to the door to ask to see him on the first day after he came back?

Seeing Mu Xu's expression, Li Shishi hurriedly said, "His Royal Highness, Prince Yun, has been waiting for Mr. Xianggong for many days. I am afraid that he has important military affairs to discuss. Mr. Xianggong should go and see him soon, and it will not be too late to see the child when he comes back."

"Forget it, then I'll go see you." Mu Xuyi was reluctant to return the children to their respective mothers, and then asked Lu Zhu, "Did King Yun come here with an imperial edict, or come alone?"

Lu Zhu replied, "His Royal Highness King Yun came alone, and did not bring any servants to pass the order."

Mu Xu's expression changed, and he felt a little clear in his heart, secretly said, "How does this Zhao Ji educate the children? Zhao Kai is considered good, and he is so restless. The rest of the people think it is even worse. No wonder Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou both That virtue!"

"You guys wait a moment, I'll come as soon as I go." After casually greeting the ladies, Mu Xu walked out.

Seeing that Mu Xu was gone, Zhao Fujin, who was belatedly aware of it, remembered the promise to Zhao Kai.Thinking of this, she hurriedly handed the child over to the nanny, and then hurriedly chased him out regardless of the strange eyes of Li Shishi and others.

"Sir, wait for my concubine!"

Mu Xu walked extremely fast, and when Zhao Fujin chased him out, he had already reached the Moon Gate, and he didn't stop until he heard a call from behind.

"Miss, can't wait until night to say something? What are you doing after chasing me out? I don't know if I'll be confinement!" Looking at Zhao Fujin who came out of breath, Mu Xu quickly wiped the sweat from her forehead, and softly blamed her .

Zhao Fujin stuck out his tongue and said embarrassingly, "I'm not in a hurry!"

Mu Xu shook his head, pulled Zhao Fujin to the nearby verandah sheltered from the wind, and asked, "My lady wants to speak for your brother, do you want my husband to help him?"

"Ah, how does Mr. Xiang know?" Zhao Fujin stared at him with disbelief.

Mu Xu pinched his wife's chubby little face, and said with a smile, "What's so hard to guess, since the moment I knew your third brother came to Yunzhou, my husband thought of this."

"Then... what does Mr. Xiang think, do you want to help third brother?"

Mu Xu asked without answering, "Does the lady want my husband to help him, or just stand by and watch?"

Zhao Fujin frowned, told Zhao Kai's evaluation of Zhao Huan, and finally sighed, "I don't know whether the third brother's words are credible or not, and whether Xianggong should be involved in it."

Mu Xu's heart warmed, and he comforted softly, "Okay, my husband will take care of this matter, so don't worry about it, my lady!"
