Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 214 Beat Three

The beacon fire on the Great Wall was lit again. The light of the fire was not obvious in the daytime, but dozens of thick black smoke rising straight into the sky gave people a strong visual sense.

Under the black smoke, there are black-armored soldiers pouring out of the Great Wall. Each army has thousands of troops, which means that the Great Wall has changed hands again.

On the top of the city, the north wind was biting and the Han flag was waving.

Zhang Wu stood at the top of the city wearing black armor. For the first time, he felt that the cold wind coming towards him was so cool. This was the taste of freedom.

Even though Wanyan Zongwang was not bad to himself when he was here, the Jin people around him all liked to call him Prince Consort, because Zhang Wu had always been "loyal and generous" and was extremely generous. As long as someone was in need of money, he could find him. There is no reason not to borrow it from him.

Therefore, his reputation among the Jin people is quite good, and he will get into trouble again, and his reputation will be accumulated.

After Wanyan Zongwang was completely defeated, Zhang Wu was able to immediately take over the military power "where everyone expected him to be" and began to lead the remaining Jin Dynasty nobles and troops to completely fall to the King of Han.

An announcement came from not far away. Yelu Dashi led a middle-aged general to him. After the two sides greeted each other, Yelu Dashi pointed at the middle-aged man and said: "This is General Zhang Dungu, who followed me earlier. Guarding Luanzhou, I am now in charge of the army's food route. I will contact General Zhang in the future. Come, I have met General Zhang."

Zhang Wu was nominally a newly attached general, but his status was higher than many Han generals, so Yelu Dashi directly motioned to Zhang Dungu to pay his respects.

Zhang Dungu raised his head with some surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, I will finally understand."

"The last general."

"General, I have met General Zhang."

"My dear brother, when the army goes out for battle, you and I will prepare the rear for the king. Although we should be as close as brothers on weekdays, things must be done in a business-like manner and we must not slack off."

Zhang Wu looked up at Yelu Dashi and asked, "I remember that you were ordered to garrison in Pingzhou, why haven't you started yet?"

"My brother was loyal to the country and died at the hands of the Song Dynasty. It is really sad. Since General Zhang is his younger brother, there is no need to be more polite in the future. You and I should be treated as equals."

Zhang Wu smiled and pointed at the large number of troops under the city tower.

It was all a show, and most of the high-level generals knew that it was just a false shot at the moment, but the Jin people's killing of Yanyun civilians when they returned home was actually just a test, so even if everyone knew that the next main attack direction was the Xia Kingdom, they still had to First collect some interest from the gold man.

"The king has temporarily changed his order. This general will lead his army out of the pass and attack Xinghua City."

Zhang Dungu lowered his head and bowed to salute. He still felt a little embarrassed in his heart. Zhang Wu smiled gently and said, "General Zhang's brother, could he be General Zhang Jue Zhang who died in the battle to protect Pingzhou four years ago?"

In a few words, Zhang Wu made some connections and gave instructions more appropriately as a superior. Zhang Dungu no longer had any resentment in his heart. After all, even if he was dissatisfied with Zhang Wu sitting on top of him at such a young age, this After all, it was the King of Han's order, so there was no way he would be dissatisfied with the King of Han.

To the north of the Great Wall is Bei'an Prefecture, which used to be the eastern part of the Liao Kingdom and was adjacent to Zhongjing. Now it has naturally become the southern border of the Jin Kingdom. At the same time, it is also the best place to open a gap.

At the same time, the army took the initiative to leave the customs, but it was actually to meet the civilians who returned to Yanyun.

After saying goodbye to Zhang Wu, the atmosphere between Yelu Dashi and Zhang Dungu became obviously relaxed. The two were walking on the road, chatting casually, and standing by the city wall. Yelu Dashi hesitated for a while, and finally took the initiative and said: "Under his command, Be smart about your work, even if he takes the initiative to cause trouble, don't say anything back, wait for me to come back and handle it for you."

"Yes, the general will know." Zhang Dungu nodded. Yelu Dashi got on his horse, looked back at the majestic ancient city wall, his eyes softened a lot, and he said:

"Yunzhong has harvested a lot of food this year. Based on the amount, it is estimated that Yunzhong will be able to return to its previous size within two years at most. By then, it will not be difficult to support tens of thousands of field elites with hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhong. .

There are tens of thousands of elites in Yunzhong, tens of thousands of elites in Yandi, and one hundred thousand soldiers. Even the Jin people will not dare to go south to bully us at will.

Yan Yun can also get rid of this method of supporting war with war, the army can start to rest and defend the city, and everyone can start to live a good life. "

"War will never end."

The King of Han spoke. In front of him, more than thirty generals stood in several columns in the commander's tent, listening respectfully.

"Seventy percent of all the food in the southern part of the Jin Kingdom has been bought and sent back by our merchants, or burned on the spot, leaving not a single grain for them."

You have to perform a full play, which is to force the Jin Kingdom to the point of desperation and force them to take the initiative to go to war. Then Liu Ling will decisively give up the land he has captured, and then retreat to the Great Wall, and let the crazy Jin people come over and chew the wall with their teeth, so that they can Consume yourself to death.

"Bei'an Prefecture, Zezhou, Luanshui."

As long as the three areas are in the hands of the Han army, they can then judge whether to advance or to accept the situation according to the situation.

Because the Kingdom of Jin is now on the verge of collapse, once these three places are in the hands of the Han army, it means that Zhongjing and Dadingfu ahead will face threats. At that time, the King of Han can respond to the call for Yan Yun who was forcibly moved to the Kingdom of Jin. Civilians and former Liao officials responded to their request.

At the same time, he could also call on the Han people in Liaodong to send troops.

"The commander-in-chief Yelu Dashi will give you eight thousand men to attack Xinghua City and capture Bei'an Prefecture."

"I will obey your orders!"

"Marquis Yan, take your Yongqing Army and wait for thirty days at the lower reaches of the Chehe River. Once the Jin Army from Zezhou comes to help, even if the Jin Emperor comes personally to conquer them, you must kill them at all costs. They were nailed to the Chehe River and their horses were not allowed to go west.

If the soldiers dare to retreat, I will kill them on my behalf; if you dare to retreat, I will kill you myself! "

Han Shizhong came out of the queue and bowed to him.

"I will obey your orders!"

Liu Ling stood up, signaled the two generals to stand up straight, and said to them and all the generals below: "Yan Yun is the place of the four battles. If you mobilize your whole body, in the past, when we attacked the Song Dynasty, the Xia people would If we are ready to attack Xia, the Jin people will take the opportunity to go south.

Now, when we go on the Northern Expedition, the Song people finally dare not make any more tricks behind us. I have led you to defeat the Song people. Next, I will attack Xia, but before attacking Xia, we must first attack Broken one of the golden man's legs.

Let the so-called big countries around us know that the Han people are not to be violated! "

He looked at the two generals who had received the order and said: "Bei'an is the southern gateway to Zhongjing, and Xinguancheng is the gateway to Bei'an Prefecture. You two are waiting for the opportunity. As for me, I will personally lead the way tomorrow." The army attacks the city, captures Xinguan City, and opens the south gate of the Kingdom of Jin for you."
