Huo Jiu'er didn't have heavy armor to protect her body today, and blood splattered on her shoulders, causing Huo Jiu'er to scream out in pain.

Seeing that Jiao Ting and Huo Jiu'er exchanged a move, he was about to miss him when he got off his mount.But the big knife in Jiao Ting's hand changed from a straight cut to a horizontal cut quickly, and the blade slashed across Huo Jiu'er's neck like lightning.

Huo Jiu'er only felt a chill in her throat, she fell off the horse with her eyes wide open in horror, and was beheaded by Jiao Ting.

It was only then that I rode horses and galloped thousands of miles across the land of Liaodong, Brother Jiao Ting's horse fighting skills improved a lot!Ximen Qing admired secretly in his heart.

Although Huo Jiuer, the leader of the bird bandits, was shot and thrown into the river by himself last night, he was tossed to death, but today he was surrounded again and was in a panic.But after all, he is the leader of more than 1000 thieves, and his martial arts should not be too bad.Jiao Ting was able to kill him so easily in a horse battle, what a breakthrough!

As his captain of the bodyguard and a possible general of the bodyguard in the future, Ximen Qing naturally hoped that Jiao Ting would be strong in foot combat and first-rate in cavalry.

Wulin Lucilu guarded Ximen Qing's side, seeing that Jiao Ting killed the bandit leader with two stabs, he couldn't help applauding: "Good man! A real warrior!"

At this time, the more than 20 bandits who followed Huo Jiu'er had been wiped out by Wulin Naocilu's men.After Wulin Lucilu asked Ximen Qing, he led his [-]-gold army and rushed out to chase and kill those who slipped through the net among the thieves.

But Jiao Ting rushed to the bandit leading the way on horseback, and asked him: "My lord, the one I killed just now was your leader Huo Jiu'er? Why is that bird man so vulnerable? Could it be fake?"

"Master Huo! That man is undoubtedly the leader of Huo Jiu'er! Master He is really brave. Zhang Saba, the villain's former elder brother, is not as capable as you!" The thief had a flattering and flattering expression on his face.

Hearing this, Jiao Ting gave a strange laugh, raised his knife and fell that disgusting bandit leading the way to the ground.

Seeing this, Ximen Qing asked, "Brother Jiao Ting, why did you kill him?"

Jiao Ting replied: "Brother Ximen, it's not you who said to kill all the robbers and leave no one behind? I listened to Brother Ximen, this guy is also a robber, what's the point of keeping him?"

There is nothing wrong with Brother Jiao Ting's answer!This kind of loyalty and comprehension is really suitable to be my personal guard for the official Ximen Qing!

"Good kill! Brother Jiao Ting, let's go see these Jurchens fighting." Ximen Qing pointed to the hillside not far away.

Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting rode up to the top of the hill with their bodyguards, looking down at the battlefield in the small village.

At this time, the battle has come to an end, it is not so much a battlefield as a slaughterhouse.

The scene under the hillside reminded Ximen Qing of the last hunt with Wanyan Molianghu and the others.

I saw the Jin army on the left and right flanks surrounded the battlefield and surrounded the remaining 100 robbers.However, if any robber wanted to break through and escape, he would be shot to death by random arrows from the Jin army on the periphery.As for the robbers who did not break through the encirclement, the Jin army on the periphery would not shoot arrows to attack.

However, the robbers who were trapped in the battlefield and did not break out had no chance of being lucky enough to survive.The Jin army on the periphery just left them to the generals to kill them to their heart's content.

I saw Wulin Mou, the rocks and the earth were black, Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Gouying and Wulin Mocilu led their own soldiers galloping back and forth in the battlefield, stabbing with knives and spears, and shooting wildly with strong bows, reaping the lives of the robbers.

In front of the powerful Jurchen warriors, these unorganized bandits were completely powerless to fight back.The robbers who had been killed to the point of collapse knelt down and begged for mercy, but they still could not escape death.

"Keep your eyes wide open and take a good look today, and remember the tactics of these Jurchens." Ximen Qing said quietly to Jiao Ting and the guards around him.

A thought appeared in Ximen Qing's mind: as the saying goes, knowing the enemy and knowing the present, one can win a hundred battles.These Jurchens will have to wrestle with the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom for several years before they can decide the outcome.Can I bring some future generals to Liaodong to watch the battle, and secretly study and get familiar with the tactics of the Jin army?

Chapter 469 pushes the wheel of history

In front of Ximen Qing and Jiao Ting's eyes, the massacre of Wulin Naoshi Tuhei, Wanyan Balisu, Wanyan Gouying and Wulin Naocilu soon ended, and Huo Jiuer's group of more than 1000 bandits All were wiped out, and no one was spared.

After Wulin Moshi Tuhei, Wanyan Balisu, and Wanyan Goying killed all the bandits, they found a lot of money and food that the bandits had robbed from the village, and got more than a thousand usable horses. They triumphed happily And return.

Ximen Qing and his party came and went like the wind with the Jin army, and soon disappeared into the east field.Half an hour later, a group of Khitan cavalry from the Liao Kingdom confirmed that the Jin army would not go back and forth, and then they got out from the mountain forest where they were hiding in the distance, and came to the small village to check.

Soon, the information reported by the distant spies of the Liao Army was sent to Changchun Prefecture City, Shangjing Road, and handed over to the Khitan general Yelu Chigou'er.

Yelu Chigou'er was once the left-behind of Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, Liao Kingdom, but his lack of strict military management aroused public resentment.

After the Liao army was defeated at Chuhedian, they returned to Linhuang Mansion. Due to the lack of military resources, Yelu Chigou'er asked the soldiers to disperse to the houses and ordered the people to provide supplies.

These defeated soldiers were not good enough to fight the Jurchens, but they were extremely arrogant when they bullied the people at this time. Many soldiers harassed the people at will, and the people suffered greatly from it and complained a lot.

The left-behind Yelu Chigou'er couldn't control his own soldiers, but he summoned the soldiers and civilians and told them: "Since the founding of the Daliao Kingdom, the Khitan and Han people have been one family for a long time, and there is no distinction between them. There are police on the frontier, and the state is not enough. The soldiers fight for the country, but they don’t have enough food and clothing. How can we bear it? Although the soldiers are harassed, they are also needed for the country to defend against the invaders. The fathers have received the country’s grace in old age, so we should be tolerant at this time.”

Facing this kind of general who indulged the soldiers, everyone in Linhuang Mansion dared not speak out.However, in the end, someone reported Yelu Chigou'er's military disturbance to Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was about to lead an army to crusade against the Kingdom of Jin. He did not punish the general Yelu Chigou'er who held a heavy army, but took him with him, joined forces, and sent troops from Changchun Prefecture, Shangjing Road. The newborn Kingdom of Jin.

Although the army led by Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi claimed to have 70 infantry and cavalry, due to the strategy of dividing into encirclement, the troops were not concentrated.

Due to internal conflicts in the Liao Kingdom, Yeluzhangnu, the deputy commander of the Liao Army's imperial battalion, led the vanguard elite soldiers to defect to the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, planning to establish Yeluchun, who stayed behind in Nanjing, the Liao Kingdom, as emperor.

Although Yeluzhangnu defected, he did not take away many troops. Most of the troops of the Liao Army on the Liao-Jin border are still there, and their strength is still much greater than that of the Jin Army.Yelu Chigou'er once suggested that Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi should make a prompt decision and concentrate his army to attack Wanyan Aguda. After leading the army to quell the Jurchen rebellion, he would bring the victorious army back to the army to suppress the rebellion.

However, the dizzy Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi had no intention of fighting again due to civil strife, and led his Chinese army to retreat on the way to the Kingdom of Jin.Due to the inconsistent coordination of the advance and retreat of several armies, the 70 army of the Liao Kingdom became a mess.

After Wanyan Aguda learned about it, he seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and personally supervised the army to run lightly, and caught up with Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi at Hubu Dagang.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, who was retreating, rushed to fight, but the Jin army with high morale concentrated their forces and stormed the Chinese army.The Liao army was at a loss, the central army was defeated, and there were many dead. Yelu Chigou'er protected Emperor Tianzuo and fled from the army. He traveled [-] miles a day and night, and returned to Changchun Prefecture, Shangjing.

The Battle of Hubu Dagang finally ended in the disastrous defeat of 70 Liao troops. Since then, the offensive and defensive positions of Liao and Jin have changed, and Liao can no longer launch a threatening attack on Jin.On the contrary, the Dajin Kingdom, which consolidated the new regime by virtue of this battle, began to attack frequently, attacking the Liao Kingdom, and constantly eroding the land in the east of the Liao Kingdom.

By the way, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi left the general Yelu Chigou'er who had a lot of grievances among the people, but he was quite motivated by the army, to stay in Changchun Prefecture and asked him to recruit troops and stick to this place to guard against Ningjiang Prefecture on the other side of the Song Wa River. Golden Army.

In the northwest of Changchun Prefecture is the Jinshan Mountains running north-south, and over the mountains is the Ugudi Lie Commanding Army Division of the Liao Kingdom.There lived grassland tribes such as Wugu tribe, Dilie tribe, Chazala tribe, and Mongolia tribe. Legend has it that these tribes came from the same origin as the Khitan people, so they all belonged to the Khitan people of the Liao Kingdom.

After Yeluchi Gou'er stationed in Changchun Prefecture, he felt deeply that the army was insufficient, so he asked Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi to order all the tribes in the grassland to join the war from the Wugu Dilie Commanding Army Division.

The leader of the Mongolian Qiyan tribe, the Mongolian Khan Boer Jijin? Tun Bi Nai, who is also the commander of the Wugu enemy army in the Liao Dynasty, Xiangwen, led the Mongolian army to cross Jinshan and came to Changchun Prefecture to give Yelu Chigou How do you know that you are still defeated by the unstoppable Jin army.

It was at that time that Bor Jijin? Tun Bi Nai's daughter, Alan, was trapped in the Jin army. The severely injured Bo Er Ji Jin? Recreation by the river.

Without the powerful Mongolian reinforcements, Changchun Prefecture, which was defended by Yelu Chigouer, was even more precarious.Just when Yeluchi Gou'er was about to give up Changchun Prefecture, a turning point came suddenly. The Liao Kingdom and the Jin Kingdom sent envoys to each other and began to negotiate a peace.

Since the peace negotiations between the Liao and Jin Dynasties, the Jin Army of Ningjiang Prefecture on the other side of the Song Wa River has also stood still, and the Jin Guo Titan Wanyan Yinshu has stopped oppressing Changchun Prefecture.Along the Songwa River, the patrol team of the Jin Army has not been seen for several months.

But now that the peace talks between the two countries have not yet reached an agreement, why did the Jin army suddenly cross the river in a large scale?What is particularly strange is that the Jin army did not launch an attack on the town defended by the Liao army, but suddenly attacked and slaughtered a group of thieves and bandits!Moreover, after the Jin army wiped out the thieves, it immediately retreated to Ningjiang Prefecture on the east bank of the Songwa River, and did not invade the land the size of Daliao.

Yeluchi Gou'er looked at the information in his hand, puzzled.It's impossible for Jin Guo's champion Wanyan Yinshu to send troops across the border to help maintain law and order in Liao Kingdom for the sake of the friendship between the two countries, right?

After thinking about it, Yeluchi Gou'er only thought of one possibility, that is, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Great Jin Kingdom was dissatisfied with the Liao Dynasty's delay in agreeing to the terms of the peace agreement proposed by him.This time, he must have instructed Wanyan Yinshu of Ningjiang Prefecture to send troops to our territory of Changchun Prefecture to show off their power. It is clearly to exterminate the bandits, but in fact it is to deter our Daliao with force!

Yelu Chigou'er thought he had seen through Wanyan Yinshuke's intentions, immediately wrote the matter into a secret letter, and rushed to report it to Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi who was in Dading Mansion in Zhongjing at that time.

After Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi received the secret report from Yelu Chigou'er, and discussed with Xiao Fengxian, Xiao Delidi and other close officials, he believed that the analysis of Changchun Prefecture Guard General Yelu Chigou'er was good. Yan Aguda issued a warning to the Liao Kingdom.

After a secret discussion between Emperor Tianzuo and his ministers, he immediately sent Taifu Xinilie to the Kingdom of Jin with the official seal on the same day, intending to seal Wanyan Aguda, the ruler of the Kingdom of Jin, as "Emperor of Donghuai Kingdom" in order to reach a peace agreement.

4 Chapter Seventy

When the monarchs and ministers of the Liao Kingdom had to hastily send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin because of a strange attack by the Jin Army on the Songwa River in Changchun Prefecture to deal with Wanyan Agu, Ximen Qing and his party had already bid farewell to the Yinshuke clan of Wanyan and left. Ningjiang Prefecture, under the escort of the fierce general Wulin Moshi Tuhei, arrived in Liaoyang Prefecture safely.

Wulin Moshi Tuhei was going to take over the defense of Liaoyang Mansion, and prepare the army for war like Wanyan Yinshuke, so he could no longer escort Ximenqing's caravan forward.

After a farewell banquet was held in Liaoyang Mansion, the two sharpshooters, Wulin Moshi Tuhei and Ximen Qing, bid farewell.

At the time of parting, Wulin Roshi Tuhei dispatched his capable men, Mou Ke Wulin Rocilu to lead two hundred soldiers, and asked him to continue to escort Ximen Qing to Suzhou Pass and send Ximen Qing and others aboard.
