Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 197 It’s the other way around!

It takes a long time to become familiar with swords, bows and crossbows. Even people with good talent need to spend a lot of time on them.

When firearms mature, they only require the user to maintain a correct posture and a period of training. In many cases, the latter is not even needed. As long as the weapon is close enough, a life can be taken away with a bang.

Liu Ling is still very enthusiastic about firearms, but with current technology, it is almost impossible to artificially "ripen" the development process of firearms; moreover, Liu Ling spent the rest of his life in a hospital bed, and his life was already very difficult. , of course he would not choose to study anything that would make him feel more difficult.

Third, the current methods are enough.

Between being cut and bled and left to die, or struggling with a pig, the golden man has chosen the latter.

If it drags on any longer, the almost endless rebellion in their country, as well as the Jin nobles and generals of the Wanyan Zongwang family who are growing and growing in the Juyongguan area, will lead the entire Jin Kingdom to destruction or disintegration.

The golden emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai chose to take a gamble.

By killing the Han army and bringing Yan Yun, who had recuperated, into the Kingdom of Jin, most of the internal conflicts in the Kingdom of Jin could be eliminated in an instant.

Liu Ling looked at the sand table in front of him. The Jin people and the Han army were clearly separated. The area from the cloud to the north connected to the grassland was equivalent to a straight line, but now, the straight line has been disconnected in the middle.

Although it took a lot of manpower from Yanyun and Grassland to build Shanhaiguan, most of the material resources came from the Song people.

At the same time, another important piece of news is that the Jin army under Wanyan Gao has plundered all the local fortresses that can be breached. Even some local tribes that had chosen to surrender were decisively slaughtered by the Jin people, and their tribes' food reserves were destroyed. Become military rations.

The Jin people were not stupid. They had previously handed over the Great Wall of Han Dynasty north of Yunzhong to Liu Ling because even if they went north from Yunzhong, they could hardly threaten the Jin Kingdom.

It sounds good.

Yelu Yanshan lifted the curtain and walked in from the outside. Liu Ling's thoughts were brought back to reality by this sentence. He looked out along the place where Yelu Yanshan lifted up, and only saw the groggy sky.

After Liu Ling knew that Wanyan Loushi dared to leave his rear to him, he immediately led his army northward, marching all the way to the northeast, and then occupied as much favorable terrain as possible before Wanyan Gao could react. , and be ready to launch a surprise attack on the latter at any time.

Although to Wanyan Loushi, these grassland tribes were his allies, to Wanyan Gao, these tribes were just granaries.

At this moment, Wanyan Gao was leading more than 20,000 soldiers and horses to block the newly built Shanhaiguan Pass and attack desperately, hoping to capture this pass in the hands of the Jin Kingdom.

But if several important passes such as Juyongguan and Beikou north of Yandi and the Great Wall fall to Liu Ling, then the Jin Kingdom will really be trapped and die in its sacred white mountain and black water ancestral land.

As for why this place was named Shanhaiguan and not Zhangjiakou, it was purely the name Liu Ling submitted at the beginning in order to deceive the Song Dynasty into exploding gold coins.

At first he thought that the two Wanyan had negotiated, but after arriving with his army, Liu Ling and his generals discovered based on the constant feedback from the sentries that Wanyan Gao might have thought that the main force of the King of Han's army was He was being tightly restrained by Wanyan Loushi.

The friendly forces of my friendly forces are not my friendly forces.

The Jin people's Banbo Jilie's status was probably similar to that of a regent. During foreign campaigns, Banbo Jilie often served as the marshal of the capital. At the same time, from Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, Banbo Jilie was often the successor to the throne. By.

"Has the letter been delivered?"

But at the same time, he also left the Wanyan Gao tribe in the rear to Liu Ling.

"Your Majesty, it's snowing outside."

Wanyan Lou's family was so suspicious that he pulled the main force of his army to Yinshan in advance, released Liu Ling's pigeons, and then planned to destroy Han Shizhong's troops in Yinshan.

In the area of ​​Hengzhou and Fengshengzhou to the north of Yunzhong, the Jin people originally had the initiative there. Now that Shanhaiguan is built, it is like having a solid iron fence in front of the tigers in the zoo. Tourists can walk outside the iron fence. If you want to be provocative, a brave person can even reach in and give the tiger a slap in the face while it is napping.

If an army runs out of food, it only means that there is not a grain of food within a radius of dozens of miles. The naturally violent nature of the army determines that it is difficult to control in some aspects, and military discipline is only a relative term.

Compared with the Jin people, the Han army's military discipline has always been stricter, so after Liu Ling arrived, many foreigners who had been exterminated began to ask for an audience and constantly provided him with information about the Jin people.

"If we want to swallow the golden dog Wanyan Gao, we must find the right opportunity to suffocate him here with one blow, and then completely cut off all retreats from Wanyan Lou's room and seal him off on the grassland, unless he comes next Prepare to settle down in the grassland, otherwise we will be blocked in Yinshan." There are more than 7,000 troops stationed in Shanhaiguan. Of course, most of them are militia auxiliaries similar to the "security forces" of Zhao Heshou Ning Yuanjun. Among them There were less than 800 armored soldiers. Fortunately, there was a large reserve of bows, crossbows and arrows, and the city defense equipment was complete, which was enough to cause a lot of damage to the Jin people when they attacked the city.

"And one more thing"

Yelu Yanshan paused and reminded: "The Jin people are forcing the captured tribesmen and some civilians under the king's rule to attack the city and use them to consume the arrows of the defenders."

At the same time, it is also consuming the morale of the latter.

After the Han army arrived, according to the deployment of the King of Han, it was originally planned that after notifying the defenders, the two armies would attack Yan Gao at the same time, taking advantage of the strength of the troops and using the main elite of the King of Han as a breakthrough. Even if Yan Gao could not be completely annihilated, Yan Gao could still be defeated. At least try to kill gold soldiers as much as possible.

The Jin Kingdom definitely has more troops than Liu Ling, but the number of troops they can pull out for field battles has gradually become equal to Liu Ling. The latter even has a large number of troops involved in domestic rebellions.

Of course, the driving forces behind the rebellion were naturally indispensable for the kind support of the King of Han.

"Since it's snowing heavily outside," Liu Ling stood at the door of the tent, his eyes reflecting the dim sky, and murmured, "then let our neighbors finish their food before leaving."

North of Yunzhong is a barren land. There is no actual control over this land. Those poor and strong tribes cannot squeeze out any money, but they are just a bunch of thorns.

Now, it’s just a good time to sort them out with the help of the golden man, so that they can better accept Wang Hua in the future, right?

Only the grassland people who had been ravaged by the Jin could feel the most sincere gratitude for the helping hand extended by the King of Han.

Wanyan Zongwang was sitting on the steps outside the government office, staring at the dim sky above his head. A snowflake swirled towards him. He subconsciously reached out to brush it away, but he was thinking in his heart.

Does his uncle, the emperor, also feel like a disgusting snowflake?

Not to mention that the Jin Army kept the Juyongguan area secret from the beginning of this operation. When they sent out troops, both his elder brother and younger brother betrayed him at the same time. If Wanyan Zongwang hadn't been vigilant enough, he would have been directly attacked by his two brothers. Seize power.

Even if he is lucky enough to survive now and still has a few passes and some troops in his hands, his vitality will still be severely damaged.

Okay, you must be loyal to the country, then I will see how our uncle will treat you in the future.

From the corner of his eye, Zhang Wu, wearing the official robe of the Jin Kingdom, walked over, followed by two armored Jin men, Mou Ke.

Wanyan Zongwang suddenly chuckled at him.

If Zhang Wu was a shameless person, then when he had previous contact with his emperor uncle, he should have betrayed him decisively for fame and fortune.

If he is not,

Then,

It is also impossible for him to betray the King of Han.

Zhang Wu led the two Mou Ke behind him and knelt down to him, and said in a deep voice: "The King of Han has sent someone to deliver a message. He knows that you have no intention of betraying the alliance. He and you are still blood-blooded brothers. The King of Han said, Brothers, they share wealth and honor.

After this war, your Majesty is willing to take over your capital and proclaim you the emperor! "

Wanyan Zongwang didn't answer immediately. He stood up slowly, a few snowflakes fell on his eyebrows, and his eyes were much colder.

"Tell the King of Han that Gu Zizi doesn't dare to claim to be emperor without authorization, so he can just carve out territory for the king to protect his wealth. It's better to give up the dragon throne to the good father-in-law of the King of Han.

However, I told Wanyan's mother that if he couldn't even win the two states of Yingping, then the position of emperor should be occupied by a virtuous person. "

"I know all the Jurchen warriors who are familiar with Juyong Pass and the Great Wall, and I will never treat them badly in the future."

Wanyan Zongwang withdrew his gaze and said loudly:

"Send the order, my troops will leave the border and block Xie Ye's retreat!"
