Chapter 274 The Wanyan brothers escaped quickly

"Why can't we go west?" someone asked eagerly.

Wu Qimai quickly replied: "With the Deermen leading the way, the Zhenwu Department will be able to find us soon. This ghost place with high mountains and dense forests will not even have anywhere to run."

"Yes, you can't run west." Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Nianhan and others all agreed.

"Then go east and get out of Jinshan Mountain." Aguda thought for a while and felt it made sense, so he asked again, "But where are you going after you get out?"

"Xiangnan, go to Beijing." Wu Qimai gritted his teeth and expressed his inner thoughts.

Aguda glanced at Wu Qimai, "Old Si, do you want to temporarily surrender to the Khitans?"
I know that you hate Zhen Wuhuan the most, and in fact you are also afraid of him the most. Now that you see Zhen Wuhuan dominating the grassland with many soldiers and generals, you feel timid and want to seek protection under the wings of the Khitans.

But do you know? Our Wanyan tribe led the tribes in the Northeast to raise troops to resist the Khitan people's violent conquests. We achieved great justice and gained the support of everyone.

If we suddenly surrender now, we will completely lose the hearts and minds of the Northeastern tribes and lose their righteousness.

Zhen Wuhuan is a smart man, he has full wings, and when the time comes to raise the banner of anti-Liao, he will win the hearts of all the Northeastern regions. Without a foundation, even if they surrender to the Liao Dynasty, they can only survive for a while.

While looking around for traces of Wanyanbu.

"Dubojilie, I am too old to run away. Give me a troop of soldiers and horses, and I will cover you."

After running for more than ten miles, the pursuers got closer and closer. Judging from the flying dust in the distance, there should be other soldiers and horses chasing them from different directions.

Wanyan Ah Lihe and Yao rode forward and spoke breathlessly to brothers Aguda and Wu Qimai.

Aguda was choked and speechless. Wu Qimai quickly separated out two thousand troops from Dalugu and Hue and gave them to Wanyan Alihexi, Wanyan Oru and others to command.

"Quick! We have to speed up! In front of us are the retreating troops of Pulu Maoduo, Huosuguan, Lujiang, Dongna and other troops, as well as the pursuing Zhenwu troops. We can take advantage of the chaos and escape!"

Aguda's eyes were filled with tears.

But he quickly adjusted his strategy, setting off flares, contacting friendly forces, and telling them that the fleeing enemies included brothers Wanyanbu and Aguda. This was a big fish. All ministries should pay attention and don't miss it if they hit it.

Aguda and Wu Qimai led the remaining troops into the battlefield, looking for an opening. The Zhenwu Chiruibu who were chasing after him caught up and were dumbfounded when they saw the chaotic battlefield with a radius of more than ten miles.

Aguda and Wu Qimai left Jinshan in a hurry with their soldiers and horses. As soon as they came out, they saw Zhenwu Chirui chasing thousands of cavalry.

"uncle!"

He was right.

But Aguda couldn't think of a better idea, so he could only endure it for the time being.

Aguda, who was galloping on horseback, turned around and looked. In the distance, two thousand soldiers and horses led by Wanyan A Liheyi and Wanyan Oru were overwhelmed by the cavalry that rushed up, only slightly slowing down their speed.

Just after running forty or fifty miles, they happened to encounter tens of thousands of red tiger cavalry and caught up with troops from Pulu Maoduo, Huosuguan, Lujiang, Dongna and other troops. The two sides fought in a melee, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark.

Wu Qimai kept urging.

Before leaving Jinshan, the remnants of the Jin Army were discovered, and more than a dozen signal bombs were seen exploding in the air. The surrounding dense forest made a roaring noise, as if countless pursuers were approaching.

At this time, the Jin army did not dare to fight - once they were stuck and the main force of the Zhenwu Department surrounded them, they would die without a place to bury them.

"A Guda, Wu Qimai, my Wanyan department can't all stay here, you take the juniors and leave quickly." Wanyan A Liheshen said eagerly.

"I will go with my uncle." Aguda's cousin Wanyan Oru said, and several other uncles and older cousins ​​also stood up.

"Okay, get out of the mountain and evacuate south."

Soon, the tail of Wanyan tribe was grabbed by Zhenwu Chirui. You chased me and ran for nearly ten miles in the wilderness. They were about to catch Wanyan brothers, a troop of Dongna Jurchen tribe. He rushed out and collided with Zhenwu Mochiruibe.

By the time Zhenwu Chirui led his men to kill the Eastern tribe, Wanyan tribe had disappeared.

More than two hours later, the exhausted Wanyanbu crossed the Dafu River. Finally, he couldn't hold on any longer, so they all got off their horses and lay down on the ground to rest. Some war horses neighed and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Wanyan Aguda covered his injured abdomen with cold sweat on his face. He sat on a stone and forced himself to ask.
"How many of us are left?"

"Four thousand people. Wanyan tribe has more than 2,000, and the other three tribes have more than 1,000."

Aguda felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

Five years ago, when Lai Liuhe launched an army to rebel against the Liao Dynasty, he only managed to gather 2,500 troops. After several years of fighting in the south and north, the soldiers and civilians of all tribes and ethnic groups in the Northeast returned to their homes and recruited 60,000 to 70,000 troops.

In order to eradicate the Zhenwu Bu, the biggest henchman and enemy, he mobilized 60,000 elite troops, not wanting to be wiped out in one battle. Once the news spreads, the Northeastern tribes that originally returned home will definitely disperse.

why!
Why did it become like this overnight!

"Second brother, Wanyan Kuma Ke, Wanyan Pu's slave, and Wanyan Hulu didn't follow." Wu Qimai said with tears.

It was so tragic, all the uncles were dead, all the cousins ​​were dead and wounded, the second brother's sons were all dead, and even his own son, only one was left.

Why don't you ask Wu Qimai to cry?
"Fourth, who is left in our tribe?"

"Mulianghu, Olun, Jianmu, Nianhan, Wushu and Puluhu." Wu Qimai turned around and counted the heads and replied.

Aguda closed his eyes in pain.

The prosperous Wanyan Department only had so few people left, which was really miserable. Every time he thought of a familiar name, he felt like he was cutting his heart with a dull knife.

Zhenwu Zhenwu took advantage of the main force of the Jin army to fight against the Liao army, took advantage of the opportunity, and captured Huanglong Mansion in one fell swoop. At that time, a number of nobles from the Wanyan tribe and the Iron Tribe were killed and injured.

They had no choice but to temporarily move the capital to "Tongzhou". During this expedition to Mobei, some Wanyan tribe clan members were left in Tongzhou City. However, Aguda and Wu Qimai knew that the ruthless Zhenwuhuan would definitely send troops to follow the troops fleeing eastward and capture the city. Tongzhou City.

The Wanyan clan members who stay there will definitely be exterminated!
After the pain is over, you still have to think about the way out.

A comeback? With Zhen Wuhuan here, it is almost impossible.

When he rebelled against the Liao Dynasty, Zhen Wuhuan was a general who won several jaw-dropping victories and gained a high reputation. Now he is the lord of Mobei, with many soldiers and generals. As long as he raises his arms and shouts, people from all parts of the Northeast will join him.

Return to Liaodong, march into Liaoyang City, and rule as a king?

Aguda thought about it and rejected it.

The Liaodong area is the territory of Han and Bohai people, with many aristocratic families and deep roots. He had won consecutive battles before and had tens of thousands of elite cavalry under his command, so they must have surrendered.

Now that they are down and out, wouldn’t they have second thoughts?

These guys are the smartest and hard to trust. There was a reason why Huanglong Mansion was burned and he did not dare to move the capital to Liaoyang Mansion, but only temporarily settled in Tongzhou City.

On other people's territory, it's easy to be tricked.

After much deliberation, there was only one way to surrender to Beiliao.

A few days ago, the Lord of Liao used Emperor Donghuai to win over himself. Now he is in a state of decline and cannot afford the price. It is hard to say whether he can be granted the title of Jiedushi.

Aguda believed that Liao was still willing to accept his surrender.

Now that the situation in the Northeast has changed drastically, the Khitan people's biggest problem is not themselves, but the Zhenwu Department.

What is even more daunting is that Zhen Wuhuan quickly integrated the Mobei Grassland and became more powerful than the previous anti-Liao alliance. The Liao Kingdom needs more lackeys to protect them from wind and rain.

They are greedy and corrupt, but not all fools.

Having made up his mind, Aguda ordered the rested tribesmen to continue on their way, cross the Lang River, and station themselves at Longxing Temple at the foot of Yong'an Mountain. Then he sent his most trusted brother, Wu Qimai, with Wanyan, who was proficient in Khitan, to consult. , together with Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Yanmu, went to Shangjing first to test the reaction of the Khitan people.
