The struggle of the reborn prince

After all, Sa Lihe is a Jurchen, and he has fought for the establishment of the Dajin Kingdom for decades. From the bottom of his heart, he will not betray unless it is a last resort, and he was sent to the front as cannon fodder before Just a flash of thought.But after being impeached by Wan Yanliang and assassinated, he had to think about his future, but he still had a little attachment to Jin Guo, thinking that things might turn around.

So after the secret meeting with Wanyan Nie'er, Sa Lihe just wrote to the Grand Master again to move the supervisor's tent into Wanyan Nie'er's army, and didn't make any big moves.The turning point he wanted was to hope that the Song army would turn to Jinzhou after discovering that Xizhou had strengthened its coastal defenses, so that he could retreat in the name of returning aid, and even if he kept his strength, he would not become cannon fodder.And when the battle was urgent, no matter how ignorant the emperor was, he would not kill the general at this time, so he had a chance to distinguish, but what happened afterwards made Sa Liyao's heart go cold. of.

First, there was news that Song Shuijun did not attack Jinzhou as he hoped, but turned to attack Liaoyang Mansion.Sa Lihe immediately realized that the Song army was not in a hurry to attack Xizhou, but just let them think that they would attack Jinzhou first, so as to cover the navy's capture of Liaoyang mansion and completely cut off the return route of Zuo Shuai's mansion.Now that its purpose of concealing the truth and showing the falsehood has been achieved, the Song army will soon launch an attack on Xizhou and gather them to the south of Liaoyang Mansion.

When they came to the state for aid, Sa Liha and Wan Yanliang had an agreement that the rations and salaries of the reinforcements would be provided by Jinzhou Marshal's Mansion, every ten days as a period.Not only did Saliyao send people back empty-handed, he was also ridiculed by Wan Yanliang, saying that the defeated army did not deserve to enjoy the food and salary, and asked them to raise it themselves.This Sa Li was so angry that he was blocking the Song army in front of him and preparing for a fierce battle, but he cut off his salary instead.It was really deceiving, but he realized that Wan Yanliang was going to put himself to death.

More than ten thousand people can't go hungry, so Sa Liha endured his anger and asked the magistrate of Xizhou to borrow food.Unexpectedly, they were rejected again, saying that their food and grass were limited.Without the command of the commander-in-chief, he dare not borrow food at will.Thinking that the supervising army of the handsome mansion actually let a magistrate refute his face, Sa Lihe ordered Wanyan Nieer to lead the army to rob the treasury in a fit of anger.This is good, the magistrate of Xizhou reported him to the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou.

Wan Yanliang waited until this was the case, and wrote to the emperor again, saying that the rebellious heart of Sa Lihe had been revealed, and the two sides had not fought with the Song army for many days, so that the Song army was able to send troops to attack Liaoyang mansion safely, but now they even sent troops to harass the place.To rob the treasury, ask the emperor to issue an order to deal with it.Everyone has a good family, and there are naturally some people in the commander's mansion who let him go. After learning the news, they revealed it to him, saying that the streets and alleys of Jinzhou City are full of rumors that the supervising army will surrender to the Southern Dynasty and lead troops to attack Jinzhou. He explained the distinction to the grand master early to eliminate disasters and problems.

"Reporting to the supervisor, all the armies in Xizhou suddenly want to enter the city to take over the city defense, and let me withdraw from the city. Is there something wrong?" Just as Sa Li and God were fighting, Wanyan Nie Er hurriedly entered the tent and asked.

"Oh, there is no order from me. How dare they leave the defense line without permission!" Sa Lihe said in surprise. He is the highest military and political officer in Xizhou, and only he has the right to mobilize the army.

"Didn't the supervisor give an order?" Wanyan Nie'er was also stunned, it would be a capital offense to mobilize troops without an order.

"Don't let them enter the city for the time being, and ask whose orders they received." Sa Liyao said to the guards, he realized that the matter was serious and something might happen.

"Supervisor, is that kid going to make a move?" Wanyan Nie'er whispered in Sa Li's ear.

"You have to be on guard, you must immediately summon all the troops to respond!" Sa Lihe nodded and said.

not long time.The soldiers who inquired about the news came back and said that it was Xiao Yu, the left governor of the commander's mansion, who came to take over Xizhou's defense with the marshal's badge.Let the supervising army return to the commander's mansion to discuss matters.The Dujian is the officer in charge of the garrison, training, and border defense of the garrison on the road, and is usually held by the Jurchen nobles.The Bohai, Khitan, and Han people are very few in number.Since Xiao Yu came to Jinzhou from Wanyan Liang, the two had been in close contact, and it was well known that he regarded him as a confidant.

The problem is that Xiao Yu is a man of Xi. He was promoted to be the governor of Zuo Shuai's mansion. It was obvious that he was distributing the power to scatter and drink. Now he is here to snatch the military power. This is not just to make him empty, but to get rid of him.Sa Lihe's face was ashen, his fists were clenched, he walked around the tent twice, asked the soldiers to whisper a few words, and waved him to go out to prepare.

"Supervisor, the deployment has been made!" Wanyan Nie'er also finished dispatching troops at this time, and came to report back.

"The person here is Xiao Yu, the governor of the commander-in-chief's mansion. He is holding a token to take over Xizhou, and ordered me to return to Jinzhou to discuss matters!" Sa Liha nodded and said to Wanyan Nie'er.

"The supervising army must not go back, otherwise..." Wanyan Nie hesitated to speak, but everyone understood the meaning. In this situation, returning to Jinzhou without military power would be tantamount to being thrown into a cage.

"Then what should we do? Disobedience is a serious crime, and if you go back, your head will fall!" Sally glanced at Wanyan Nie'er and sat down, picked up his teacup and sipped his mouth.

"Supervisor, why are you still hesitating at this moment, both sides are dead, why don't you fight, we...we voted for Da Song!" Wanyan Nie Er hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth and said his plan.

"Nie Er, do you know what you're talking about? Joining the enemy before the battle is a serious crime to exterminate the nine clans. Dajin Kingdom treats you well, how dare you do such a rebellious thing!" Sari slapped the table and shouted sharply.

"Supervisor..." Wanyan Nie'er didn't expect him to turn his face when he said that he would turn his back on him, and fell to his knees, "Supervisor, since Taizu and Emperor Taizong came to power, civil strife has continued in the court. Nianhan, Zongjie, Gu God and other brothers all died in it, and how many veterans were killed, often just labeled as a rebel. Now the emperor is in a daze, and the grand master is too old and sick to preside over the government. Even if he can save us today, what will happen in the future? ? Sooner or later, I will die at the hands of the faint king and those ambitious people, if I turn back sooner, I will not die without a place to bury my family!"

"Even if you are the opposite, do you know if the Southern Dynasty will take us in, and if the generals outside the city will agree, can we cross the river alone?" Sa Lihe asked again and again.

"Supervisor, I have already made arrangements. As long as you agree, I will lead the troops out of the city. As long as we cross the river, what can they do to me!" Wanyan Nie Er said.

"Stupid, the Song Dynasty is strong and strong, are we short of two disabled soldiers and defeated generals? We don't want to live in poverty when we go to the Southern Dynasty, so why should they give them glory and wealth? We must show some sincerity if we want them to take them in. !" Said Sa Liho stretched out his hand to support Wanyan Nie'er, and helped him straighten his shirt.

"Supervisor, what should we do then?" Wanyan Nieer stammered a little unaccustomed to the drastic change in Sa Lihao's attitude.

"Dedicate the city, dedicate the city of Xizhou, and welcome the Song army to cross the river!" Sa Lihe said solemnly.

"Supervisor, are the soldiers outside the city still listening to our mobilization? Once we start fighting, we only have more than [-] soldiers, and I'm afraid it's still impossible to achieve great things." Wanyan Nie Er thought for a moment and said, he also knew This is the case, but it is difficult to do.

"Hmph, Wan Yanliang, do you think that with some tricks, you can really push me away and win over those Meng'an? He is too naive, but it's a pity that I have followed the grand master for many years, but today I have to betray him." Sa Li He Leng snorted, but his expression darkened.

"Hehe, it turns out that the supervising army has been prepared for a long time, but I think too much!" Wanyan Nie'er was happy instead, and the situation reversed in a blink of an eye, he said with a smile on his face.

"Prevention is essential, the grand master can kill even brothers in the clan, let alone us!" Sa Lihe put the teacup on the table and raised his hands, "You guys retreat, please come in Wang Lingshi! "Wanyan Nie'er looked back, only to see figures flickering behind the curtains in the tent, and the clanging sound of swords sheathing and armor colliding, which made him drenched in cold sweat. If I want to repent, I'm afraid blood will be splashed on the spot...

…………

"Tell me, what's going on? Didn't you say that you are sure to capture Sa Liyao and have tens of thousands of elite soldiers in your pocket?" Wan Yanliang's hoarse roar echoed in Jinzhou Zuo Marshal's mansion.Xizhou mutinied, and Xiao Yu, the governor who went to take over, fled back on horseback. The supervisor of Zuo Shuai's mansion, Sa Liyao, and Wan Yan Nieer, the chief of the Wanfu, surrendered with [-] troops, and the Song army was able to enter Xizhou without bloodshed.

"The commander-in-chief, calm down, will go to Xizhou to contact Meng'an who is loyal to us. Who knows that most of them have been secretly bought by Sanli, but when they pretend to obey the order to open the city, they will suddenly attack us. They will follow our two friends sincerely." Killed by Meng An, all the troops and dragons without their leaders were dismissed and surrendered, if the last general hadn't seen the opportunity early, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to come back!" Xiao Yu explained with a mournful face.

"You...you have missed the handsome job!" Wan Yanliang looked at the embarrassed Xiao Yu and didn't know how to scold him, pointing his nose and said helplessly and annoyed.

After Wan Yanliang learned that the Song Army had appeared in the waters of Liaoyang Prefecture, he had already realized that once the Song Army occupied Liaoyang, he would be cut off from his return and rescue, and could only sit and guard the isolated city.But he also realized that this was an opportunity. The [-] soldiers left behind by Wanyan Yong in Liaoyang were a huge obstacle in his return to Beijing.Now that he is facing the situation of being besieged by the Song army, he can lead his troops northward in the name of aiding the Song army, that is, using the Song army to destroy Wan Yanyong, avoiding the attack and saving his strength to return to Beijing to force the palace.

But Wan Yanliang's heart disease was Sa Lidao in Xizhou. He was worried that at the critical moment he would turn against him and would not follow orders, so he sent Xiao Yu to take him down with the token of the commander's mansion.I didn't expect that Sa Lihe's cunning plan had already taken precautions. He not only secretly contacted the generals in the army, but also hooked up with the Song army. At the last moment, he turned defeat into victory and led the Song army into the city. ...
