Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 417

"Jiuwenlong" Shi Jin is the gold medal fighter that Ximen Qing specially brought along this time.

Soon after, Ximenqing will go to Huining City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, to participate in the martial arts competition held by Emperor Wanyan Aguda for the eldest princess Wanyan Wulu.At that time, there will be a lot of fighting between dragons and tigers in Huining City.

Although the Jurchen aristocratic warriors at this time are known for their simplicity and boldness, it is not ruled out that some members of the Jurchen tribe will take risks and cause some incidents behind their backs.

Ximen Qing considered that the four of Yue Fei were still immature, and it was inevitable that they would not be able to protect themselves well with only one Brother Jiao Ting by his side, so he brought Brother Shi Jin along with him.

By Ximenqing's side, Luan Tingyu and Wang Jin are both brave, but because of the heavy responsibility of training soldiers, they can't leave easily.

Shi Jin was originally a martial arts genius, after reuniting with his master Wang Jin, and receiving his careful guidance, his martial arts improved further, and he was already regarded as an unworthy brave general.

683 Chapter Pond Fish's Disaster

Ximen Qing led the navy to wipe out the sea snake island pirates and Song Jiang's Liangshan remnant army, not only for the purpose of eradicating violence and chasing down Song Jiang and his party, but also for the huge wealth of the sea snake island pirates.

To put it bluntly, the current kind of poor little thief is no longer qualified to let the official Ximen Qing go out in person.

For example, Chao Gai and others who fled to the Taihang Mountains to resume their old jobs. They started from scratch and had no accumulation. The officials of Ximen Qing lost the interest in chasing them in the mountains.

Song Jiang was unlucky because he didn't stay away from Jingdong Road, where Ximenqing's foundation was, and followed Chai Jin in a muddle-headed way to join the rich Sea Snake Island, which led to his death.

If Song Jiang didn't stay on Jingdong Road after he snatched the ship, but went north to join the Liao Kingdom, maybe Ximenqing officials would let him go temporarily.

It's a pity that history can't be rewritten. In the Xunyang Tower of Jiangzhou, Song Jiang, who wrote the title "Heart is in Shandong, body is in Wu, floating in the river and sea. If he is Ling Yunzhi, dare to laugh at Huang Chao for not being a husband!" After all, Song Jiang can't compare with Huang Chao , he failed to shake the rule of the Song court, and was killed under repeated blows by Ximen Qing officials, and his head was sent to Bianliang City, Tokyo for public display.

The demise of Song Jiang, Chai Jin, Li Jun and other Liangshan bandits soon spread throughout the world, and Chao Gai, Wu Yong, Gongsun Sheng and others who were hiding on Taihang Mountain also learned the sad news.

Although Chao Gai, Wu Yong, and Song Jiang had long been at odds with each other, and the two armies went their own way, but things hurt their own kind, and Chao Gai and others still lamented the demise of Song Jiang's army.

At the same time, after discussing with Gongsun Sheng, Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng jointly advised Chao Gai that the southern foot of Taihang Mountain was not a safe place, and he had to lead the army northward to hide in Wutai Mountain at the junction of Song and Liao in order to be able to handle it with ease.

Chao Gai and Dong Ping are both warriors, so they naturally obeyed Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng's two military advisers, but it was not easy to go northward across mountains and mountains.

Wu Yong said to him: "King Chao, we have set up camp here, robbed the rich and helped the poor, and have already exposed our whereabouts. Because the Taihang Mountains are high in mountains and densely forested, we are not very powerful now, and we have never posed a threat to the surrounding counties. The officers and soldiers in Hebei and Hedong just ignored our army. But now it’s different, the officers and soldiers are about to attack on a large scale.”

Chao Gai was shocked when he heard the words: "Sir, what do you mean by this?"

Gongsun Sheng said on the side: "Brother, if Song Gongming and others are safe and sound, the Hedong officers and soldiers will not come to look for us. Our army can recuperate here and recover its strength. It is a pity that Song Gongming was defeated and died in Qingzhou. It has attracted the attention of the imperial court again. Under the pressure of Emperor Bird, the officers and troops of the various state armies on the River East Road will definitely come to encircle and suppress us in order to pay the imperial court. Therefore, we cannot stay here for long."

"Mr. Gongsun, in this way, our army has been dragged down by Song Jiang's army?" Dong Ping asked angrily with wide-eyed eyes.

Dong Ping was originally a general from the Dongping Mansion, and his time at Liangshan was very short, so he had no personal friendship or brotherhood with Song Jiang, Chai Jin and others.At this time, Song Jiang and others were dead, and Dong Ping had no scruples.He didn't speak ill of Song Jiangkou, but he showed some kindness.

"That's right! Qingzhou's officers and soldiers captured Song Gongming and others, and made great contributions. The imperial court will reward them. But because of this, the imperial court will also blame the officers and soldiers on Hedong Road and Hebei Road for their dereliction of duty. Therefore, with From Xiaosheng's point of view, the government army will attack Linlu Mountain and Funiu Mountain soon." Wu Yong replied to Dong Ping.

"The two military advisers have far-sighted plans! I have to leave quickly. Brothers, I will lead the way. All brothers will go to the Liao border to live. Let's see if the Niaoguan army dares to use force on the Song-Liao border." Dong Ping rubbed his fists and stood up.

"What you brothers said is true, I will go north immediately after I burn down the cottage!" Chao Gai also made up his mind.

Wu Yong said with a smile: "Brother Chao Gai, there is no need to burn this village, let's leave it here to confuse the officers and soldiers at the foot of the mountain, hahaha~"

All the leaders made a plan, and immediately led the troops along the high mountains of Taihang Mountain all the way north, and disappeared into the mountains.

Just as Wu Yong and Gongsun Sheng expected, after the Taoist emperor in Bianliang City, Tokyo, learned that his brother-in-law Murong Yanda had wiped out the Liangshan bandit Song Jiang, Longyan was very happy, and issued an order to reward the meritorious officials in the Qingzhou government.At the same time, the imperial court also severely reprimanded the relevant state troops in Hebei and Hedong who did not do anything against Chao Gai's remnants, and strictly ordered them to reorganize their troops to suppress them.

Because Chao Gai's army was mainly active in the area of ​​Funiu Mountain, under the pressure of the imperial court, the officers and soldiers on Hedong Road had to send troops into the mountain to encircle and suppress.

When the officers and troops were assembled and they were on their way to Funiu Mountain, apart from a cottage with empty banners, where else could they see a trace of a thief?

……

Ximenqing didn't know it at this time, because he got rid of Song Jiang and others, so that Chao Gai and other robbers didn't dare to gain a foothold in the south of Taihang Mountain, and fled to the border of Song and Liao in haste.

The spring breeze brought warmth to the Kingdom of Jin, and the heavy snow thawed. Ximen Qing also left the territory of Posu Road with a team of more than [-] people, and rushed north to Huining City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin.

In the team of this trip, there are seven heroes, Shi Jin, Jiao Ting, Huangfu Duan, Yue Fei, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian, and Xu Qing, who accompanied Ximen Qing, which can be described as a wealth of talents.

The territory along the Yalu River on Posu Road was temporarily handed over to the three brothers Tao Zongwang, Du Qian, and Jiang Jing.

Behind Ximen Qing and the others, a fortified castle has risen from the ground.

After crossing the sea from Dengzhou and returning to Posulu territory, Ximenqing received letters from Wanyan Shenguo, Wanyan Wulu, Wanyan Moulianghu, Wanyan Nianmeihe and others.

After reading these letters, Ximen Qing knew that Wanyan Moulianghu had married not long ago, and he married Wanyan Aguda's daughter and Wanyan Wulu's half-sister.

At the same time, Wanyan Shenguo and Wanyan Wulu also informed Ximen Qing of the date of the Martial Arts Competition in Ningcheng, asking him to leave early so as not to delay the time.

What interested Ximenqing was that in these letters, Wanyan Shengguo and others signed their new Chinese names.

The Chinese name of Wanyan Shenguo is Wanyan Zongjun, the Chinese name of Wanyan Moulianghu is Wanyan Zongxiong, and the Chinese name of Wanyan Nianbudao is Wanyan Zonghan.

According to Wanyan Moulianghu, Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, admired the culture of the Han people. After Ximenqing sent many books and classics of the Han people in the Central Plains, more Jurchen nobles learned the culture of the Han people.

Because of the maritime alliance concluded with Song State, they want to jointly attack Liao.In order to facilitate exchanges with the Han Dynasty in the Central Plains and rule the Han people in the Liao Kingdom, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom decided to give the Jurchen nobles Chinese names.

Wanyan Aguda gave himself the Chinese name Wanyan Min.Minzhe, Tianye, means that Wanyan Aguda is the supreme emperor.

Some famous names in the history books of later generations finally appeared in front of Ximen Qing.

"Yue Fei, follow me, Master Uncle will take you to see Huanglong Mansion!"

Chapter 684 Yeluyu sees the gold

When Ximen Qing went north with Jiao Ting, Shi Jin, Yue Fei and other brothers, in Huining City, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, Emperor Wanyan Aguda was in his emperor's village to receive the deputy capital inspector of the Liao Kingdom who had defected from the Liao Kingdom. , Zhongjing stayed behind, and Yeluyu, the governor of the East Road, saw it.

In January, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom Yelu Yanxi had intensified conflicts with the Khitan nobles due to the move of the capital to Nanjing. Li colluded with Concubine Wen's brother-in-law Yeluyu, who was in charge of the military power at the front, to see the rebellion and proposed to make King Jin the emperor.

In order to keep his throne, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi sent an order to kill Xiao Yu, Yelu Tageli and Concubine Wen's sister, and gave his concubine Wen Xiao Sesel to death.At the same time, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi also sent people to the front to arrest Yelu Yujian.

Seeing that Yeluyu was leading his army to confront Wanyan's mother army on Xianzhou Road in the Kingdom of Jin at this time, he got word of it from the front line and hurriedly sent money to Dutong on Xianzhou Road. Sang Lindu came to meet him.

Due to the haste of the incident, Yeluyu had no time to gather his party members, and fled in embarrassment to the Kingdom of Jin, which was a deadly enemy a few months ago, with only his wife and children, more than a thousand soldiers and more than 3000 directly subordinate tribes.

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi heard that Yelu Yu saw that Yeluyu stayed in the army obediently and waited for him to cut off his head, but he ran away with his own soldiers, and hurriedly dispatched Xiao Xiamai, Northern Prime Minister Xiao Degong, Dachang Gunyeludi Ligu, Guizhou Observation Envoy Xiao Heshangnu, Fourth Army Taishi Xiao Qian and others led troops to hunt them down.

Xiao Qian and other generals were already dissatisfied with Emperor Tianzuo's indiscriminate killing of innocent people. When they chased to Yiwulu Mountain at the junction of Jinzhou of Liao Kingdom and Xianzhou of Jin Kingdom, they were about to catch up with Yeluyujian who was carrying the tribal luggage.So the generals discussed with each other, but they didn't intend to kill them all.

Xiao Qian, the grand master of the Fourth Army, led the troops to fight against the Jin army for many years, and he was well-known in the army. He said to the generals: "The Lord believes in Xiao Fengxian's words, and Fengxian treats us with contempt. Yu Jian is a noble man of the clan, often Don't want to go down for the sake of worship. If you catch me, I will see you in the future. It's better to let it go."

All the generals of the Liao Army sympathized with Yelu Yujian, and supported King Jin in their hearts, so they all agreed to Xiao Qian's proposal.Therefore, the pursuing Liao army wandered around Yiwulu Mountain leisurely, and let Yelu Yujian and his party escape into the territory of Jin Kingdom.

Xiao Qian, Grand Master of the Fourth Army, was also a talented man just like Yelu Yujian.He was a nobleman of the Liao Kingdom. Yeluchun, who served as Nanjing's stay-at-home and capital marshal at the time when he served as the assistant of Nanjing Daoist, and Yeluchun, who was named the king of Qin and Jin, fought against the Jin army. He commanded the Khitan, Xi, Han, and Bohai armies, so he was called Grand Master of the Fourth Army.

Not long ago, Xiao Qian and Yelu Yujian led the army to suppress the rebellion and subdued the resentful army.

When the Jin army captured Shangjing Road of Liao Kingdom and threatened Zhongjing Road, Emperor Tianzuo abandoned Zhongjing, the capital, and fled to Xijing.Therefore, the soldiers and people of the Liao Kingdom in Zhongjing Road were panicked and had different ideas.Although Zhongjing stayed behind in Yeluyu and saw that the bandits refused to defend and stabilized people's hearts, rebellions still broke out in Lizhou and other places.

Yeluchun, who stayed behind in Nanjing in the Liao Kingdom, sent Dong Xiaochou, a general of the Resentment Army on the Southeast Road, to lead the Resentment Army to Lizhou to quell the chaos.As a result, Dong Xiaochou was defeated by the Lizhou rebels, losing troops and generals.
