Water Margin: Lu Bu sits on Mount Liang

Chapter 546 The War in Liaodong
The end of the twelfth lunar month.

The golden light broke through the curtain of darkness, and the rising winter swept away the coldness of the night, revealing the unique winter sun.

On this day, the city gates of Liaoyang Mansion were still open as usual, allowing merchants and pedestrians to come and go. Noisy and noisy sounds sounded near the city gates. People in groups of three and three were waiting for the people who opened the door to walk in. Liaodong has not been peaceful recently. The emperor sent troops from the Kingdom of Jin to personally conquer the city, and rebels attacked the city in the south. As a result, there were far fewer traders than usual. Those who arrived were immediately taken to the hotel by friends to ask how the battle was going.

The bustling street market started to get lively. People sitting at the windows drank hot liquor and heated the brazier at their feet. From time to time they lamented that the current situation was not good and business was difficult to do.

The sound of hawking carried through the streets in the wind.

There were cavalry running in from outside the city gate. The armor of the men on horseback was covered with dried blood. The flag with the word Yelu in the back was in tatters and had several holes shot by arrows. As they ran, they could see all the He looked disgraced.

"This is..." Someone stopped on the spot, stretched his neck and looked at the retreating figure: "Where was the battle lost?"

In the government office, Xiao Bao first threw out the documents, and the paper fell to the ground with a clattering sound. Tokyo Liubei stood up with an angry look on his face: "Let those troublesome Bohai people build the city wall, they will only cause trouble." Right or wrong, it’s better to die on the city wall!”

Dagong Ding went over to pick up the official document and smiled bitterly. It was just a few Bohai people having a fight with each other while drinking. Such a trivial matter did not need to be handled by the left-behind man himself. Unexpectedly, Xiao Baoxian got the news from somewhere and immediately dealt with it. This matter has been upgraded, but if it is fair, in the hands of the Tokyo left-behind, only the Bohai people will be punished, and the others will have their crimes reduced to three levels.

"Stay behind, these people..."

Dagong Ding said in deep thought, Xiao Baoxian glanced at him with an unkind look, and immediately spoke faster: "If you don't send them to the army, Vice President Xiao also urged for military rations a few days ago, why don't you let these If you escort them together, there will be a supplement to go to the front line.”

"What a good idea!" Xiao Baoxian's eyes lit up, he stood up, walked back and forth a few steps, and said: "I am accustomed to looking down on Xiao Choubo, but he is contributing to the court at this time, so he should support him. This matter is handed over to him. You do it, and be sure to let him wait as soon as possible.”

Grand Duke Ding nodded: "Don't worry if you stay behind, there is no need to worry about this..."

While the two were talking, the door banged and they turned to look. As the door opened to the left and right, Yelu Ma Wuyi walked in covered in blood. When he saw Xiao Bao, he knelt down first and said, "I'm sorry for staying behind." , the matter is urgent, I have to break in. "

Xiao Bao first looked up and down at the embarrassed general and saw a broken arrow stuck in his shoulder. He frowned slightly and said, "What's going on?"

Yelu Mawu took a breath and spoke loudly: "Yesterday, under the leadership of Vice Commander Xiao, we fought at the junction of Yu Hai and Yao Prefectures. Vice Commander Xiao was rushed in and killed the Chinese army. At this time, we didn't know whether he was dead or alive. , I hope the adults left behind will be more careful.”

"What do you mean?!"

The figure stood up, and his voice was sharp and eardrum-shaking.

As the sun rose, the news of the defeat of the deputy commander of the march to the east began to spread in Haizhou, Bizhou and Liaoyang Prefecture. When Han Qinghe and his son ran into Liaoyang Prefecture, martial law was already in place here, and a large number of generals came On the city wall, Gao Yongchang, who was wearing gorgeous armor, climbed to the top of the city. He looked towards the south with uncertain eyes, full of hostility, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In the afternoon, another general wearing armor and losing his weapon ran into the city, bringing news that made Xiao Bao almost faint. Vice-President Xiao Cuiwei gathered the defeated soldiers, and was defeated by the rebels again at night. He died on the spot. It spread like wildfire, and worries were visible on the faces of the people. Some wealthy households began to pack their things and prepare to escape. Xiao Bao, who stayed behind, tried his best to comfort the people in the city while writing a memorial and sending people north to deliver it to the imperial commander. military camp.

Only later, the Tokyo resident received a third piece of news that almost caused him to suffer cardiac arrest. …

Camel door.

The weather was freezing. Although the sun had been shining brightly for several days, it was still unbearably cold. The fortifications on the entire hill had been completed, and the air was filled with murderous intent and arrogance.

In the central army camp of Hubu Dagang, melodious music was playing. Yelu Yanxi, who was sitting on the throne of the emperor, was wearing a golden helmet and armor. The brazier at his feet was burning with charcoal fire, and the white mink hair on his neck followed. The heat was rising and swaying slightly, and the big hand on the armrest moved slightly, unconsciously stroking the emerald ring on the finger.

The generals dispatching troops and horses roared in the camp. From time to time, majestic soldiers in armor walked past the big tent. The young men holding arrows ran quickly, for fear of being whipped by the supervisors if they were slow.

Craftsmen lined up in a queue walked into the back camp and began to adjust the siege equipment. This time, the Holy Emperor personally led the expedition, and no one dared to make any mistakes. They could only check after checking, and they must ensure that they can take it out if something goes wrong.

The general wearing solid armor walked into the big tent and knelt down. He bowed his hands and saluted while saying something.

Yelu Yanxi was impatient and nodded and waved people out. Soon, the desolate horns of horns echoed in the sky. Groups of fully equipped figures walked out of the barracks. Soldiers carrying swords and shields walked into the gap between the Juma piles, leaning on their rifles. The figure with a spear walked behind him and raised the tip of the spear.

Opposite the Liao army, Wanyan Aguda, who was wearing fur and heavy armor, stood on a high place and looked at the dark figures opposite him. He turned to look at the tribesmen following him in the battle: "There are 700,000 Liao soldiers. Among them, there are 700,000 Liao soldiers. It's not easy to take the front; our army is approaching from afar, and our troops and horses are tired, so we should wait in deep ditches and high bases."

The leaders of the Jurchen tribe in the rear looked at each other, nodded fiercely, and then turned around to Ciyoro. One by one, burly men ran out, carrying shovels and hoes, and began to dig deep trenches. Some people also walked to the camp fence. Start strengthening beforehand.

Ding Wei, before noon.

Yelu Yanxi, who was tired of waiting for a long time, stepped out of the tent, mounted his war horse and inspected the camp. He promised to reward anyone who killed the gold thief with a thousand pieces of gold. The Liao army cheered for a while.

However, I don't know if they lost their luck. The Liao army who was supervising the transportation of grain and wages was discovered by Jin soldiers on the way. Wanyan Aguda personally led the cavalry to ambush in the wild. In the first battle, he intercepted all the grain and wages and captured them together.

The battle report had just been delivered to Yelu Yanxi. Before the emperor could get angry, a knight ran into the army from outside with a cold wind. No one dared to stop him for eight hundred miles with a red flag. The knight entered the army unimpeded. The military leader took out urgent military information and knelt down and presented it: "Report to the Holy Majesty that Yelvzhangjanu has rebelled. The army is approaching the capital. His Highness the King of Wei has killed his envoy. Here are the details."

Yelu Yanxi was shocked. He quickly opened the letter and checked it, his face suddenly turned livid.

On that day, the Liao emperor left the army in a hurry, and the handsome flag and the dragon flag headed into the distance together. The Liao army, which had lost its backbone, suddenly fell into chaos and was defeated by the Jin soldiers in one fell swoop.

The news spread and the whole world was in an uproar.
