Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Page 544

This meeting is to celebrate the grandson of Bor Jijin Tunbi Nai Khan, and to announce his inauguration as the King of Muwu. Anyway, the ceremony and scene must be spectacular!

Ximenqing and his son Baltanba Tuer will also use this conference to officially enter the stage of Mongolian history.

……

When Ximenqing successfully attracted the attention of all the grassland ministries, leaving them no time to go south to make trouble for the Jin army, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda, finally dispatched troops from the Shangjing area to attack Yanjing of the Liao Kingdom.

Yan Xigunai, who was left behind in Linhuang Mansion, and Taizhou Dutong, Yan Po, and Lu Huo, the two generals, both led troops to help the battle.

Wanyan Agu beat Wanyan Xigunai to lead the Beijing soldiers out of Deshengkou on the northeast side of Juyongguan to contain the Liao army's defense line, and let his son and second prince Wanyan Zongwang lead 7000 troops as the vanguard. The three fierce generals Yan Loushi and Wanyan Po Luhuo led the main force, and went straight to Juyongguan, the Great Wall guarded by the Liao army.

At the same time, Yan Chang, the capital of Xiliu Road in Zhongjing, also dispatched troops to Gubeikou, threatening Tanzhou City in Yanjing, Liao Kingdom.

Facing the threat of the Jin army, Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, was still making the final struggle. He ordered Chao Gai, Dong Ping, Wu Yong and other generals guarding Tanzhou to stick to Tanzhou and lead the troops to resist the Wanyanchang army going south. Dashi led the main force to Juyongguan.

The terrain of Juyongguan is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. As a vanguard, Wanyan Zongwang thought that Juyongguan was difficult to attack from the front, so he adopted a detour strategy.

Wanyan Zongwang made a long-distance raid, and led his troops from Zijingkou and Jinpoguan, the southernmost point of Fengsheng Prefecture and Yizhou, crossing mountains and ridges into Yizhou occupied by the Song army, and then went north from Yizhou to Zhuozhou, and finally attacked Changping City in the southeast of Juyongguan. , Let the Liao army in Juyongguan suffer from the enemy.

Knowing that the Jin army appeared behind them, the Liao soldiers defending Juyongguan collapsed without a fight.Seeing that the general situation was over, Yelu Dashi had to lead his troops back to Yanjing City.

As a result, the Jin army captured Juyongguan in one fell swoop, and what appeared in front of the Jin army was Yimapingchuan.

Through this battle, the second prince Wanyan Zongwang demonstrated his excellent commanding ability for long-distance raids, and gradually emerged among the golden army full of famous generals.

The Liao army, which made the Song army repeatedly defeated and defeated, was vulnerable to the Jin army, and the emperor of the Jin Kingdom Wanyan Aguda was also very proud.

In order to show the strength of the Jin army to the Song Dynasty, when entering Juyongguan, Wanyan Aguda also held a grand entry ceremony, and invited the Song envoy Ma Kuo to watch the ceremony.

Seeing the murderous and orderly formation of the Jin army, Ma Kuo, who was the envoy of the Song Dynasty, felt uneasy.

Ma Kuo believes that because of the incompetence of the Song army, the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom generally have contempt for the Song Dynasty.If the court continues to give way to Jin Guofu softly, I am afraid that Jin Guo will gain an inch and sow disasters for the future.

However, did the court really have the strength to be tougher when facing the Jin Kingdom that swept across the Liao Kingdom?

Ma Kuo couldn't help looking in the direction of Yanjing City and Xiongzhou City.

While dispatching the main force to resist the attack of the Jin army, Xiao Qian, the commander of the Liao army, was still struggling to regain the land of Yan occupied by the Song army.

After driving the defeated remnants of the Song army into Xiongzhou City, the Liao army took advantage of the victory to recover the two counties of Gu'an and Anci that had been occupied by the Song army.

Then, the Liao army continued to march and besieged Yongqing County in Zhuozhou.

Yongqing County is located in the north of Xiongzhou and Bazhou. If the Liao army regains Yongqing County, it will once again threaten the territory of Song Dynasty.

Taiwei Tongguan was afraid that the Liao army would enter again, so he hurriedly ordered Guo Yaoshi from Zhuozhou City to lead the troops to rescue Yongqing County.

Guo Yaoshi's army consisted of two parts, one part was the Ever Victorious Army of the Liao Kingdom who surrendered to the Song Dynasty with Guo Yaoshi before, and the other part was the army formed by the Han Chinese themselves in the Song Dynasty.

When leading the troops approaching Yongqing County, Guo Yaoshi said to his subordinate generals: "The Liao army and the Han army won a few battles, and every game was a big victory, so we must despise the Han army very much. This time we can disguise our victorious army When the Han army and the Liao army saw it, they would definitely take the initiative to attack. Our army just took advantage of the enemy's underestimation and ambushed the Liao army."

After all, Guo Yaoshi ordered his Changsheng army to hold high the banner of the Han army, and stepped forward to lure the Liao army.He also ordered the Han army to equip crossbows and lie in ambush on the flanks, waiting for the Liao army to take the bait.

Chapter 834 Yanjing City Falls Gold

When Guo Yaoshi brought his Ever Victorious Army and appeared near the Liao Army's barracks under the banner of the Song Army, he was ridiculed by the Liao Army.

When the generals of the Liao army saw the flag of the Song army, they all laughed and said, "The army of the Southern Dynasty has come to look for defeat again. This is to give us military merit!"

Seeing the military exploits coming to their door, the Liao army who besieged Yongqing County turned their horses around one after another, scrambling to kill Guo Yaoshi's army.

Guo Yaoshi led the army and fought while retreating, leading the Liao army to the ambush circle he set.

After the arrogant Liao army entered the ambush circle, Guo Yaoshi gave an order, and the Song army in ambush fired all arrows, shooting the Liao army on their backs.

As an infantry-based army, the Song Army's bows and crossbows are still very lethal.In front of them, there was an ever-victorious army who dared to fight to block the impact of the cavalry of the Liao army, and the archers of the Song army also showed their normal standards.

The cavalry of the Liao army were killed by dense arrows and had to retreat urgently.

At this time, Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army in hot pursuit, chasing and killing the Liao army from behind.

Since the war between the Song and Liao armies, the Song army has been defeated repeatedly and has become the object of ridicule by the Yan people.This time, under the leadership of Guo Yaoshi, they finally fought a turnaround.

Although it is said that the main force of the Liao army in Yanjing has already gone north to defend the Jin army, and those who stay in the south are not the elite troops of the Liao army, but after all, this is a rare victory. Guo Yaoshi finally avenged the defeat of Yanjing city .

After the battle, Guo Yaoshi's heroic image made Taiwei Tong Guan very fond of him.Tong Taiwei decided to reuse this fierce general who could compete with the Liao army.

As for the Liao army that besieged Yongqing County, they paid a heavy price for underestimating the enemy, thousands of people were annihilated by Guo Yaoshi's department, and they had to retreat back to Yanjing City.

The Empress Dowager Xiao in Yanjing City and the Fourth Army King Xiao Qian and others could not help frowning when they heard that the Liao Army in the Southern Expedition had been defeated by the Song Army.

Facing the oppression of the Jin army in the northwest, if you can't make a piece of land to the south, is it true that Yanjing, an isolated city, can really fight against the two great powers of Jin and Song?

Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, intends to lead his troops south to fight another decisive battle with the Song army, but the threat of the Jin army is increasing day by day, and the hearts of Yanjing City are already floating. He can only stay in Yanjing City and can no longer lead troops out to fight.

after all.Both Wen Wu of the Manchu Dynasty and Empress Dowager Xiao were afraid that after Xiao Qian left, he would encounter another terrible experience of the Song army attacking Yanjing City again.

Xiao Qian had no choice but to close the gate of the city and stop going out, and stayed in the city to prepare for the battle.

One day later, Yelu Dashi returned to Yanjing City with his army in embarrassment, bringing even more desperate news to Empress Dowager Xiao and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Yelu Dashi told Empress Dowager Xiao and King Xiao Qian of the Fourth Army that the Jin army took a detour to surrender to Changping City and had already captured Juyongguan.

Today, Yanjing City is no longer in danger of defending against the Jin Army.

After listening to Yelu Dashi's words, Empress Dowager Xiao closed her eyes in pain.She knew in her heart that Yanjing City could not be defended.Daliao, maybe it's about to end!

Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, did not expect that the defenders of Juyong Pass would be so vulnerable, allowing the Jin army to easily break through the mighty pass.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Xiao Qian felt a heavy burden on his thin shoulders.

Where to go, a decision must be made immediately.

Xiao Qian walked out of the hall, remained silent, looked around the inner city and the outer city, with a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

This Yanjing City, but he led his subordinate Erlang to fight bloody battles, and took it back from the hands of the Song Army!

In Juma River, Baigou Station, Xiongzhou City, and Lugou River, many Liao soldiers sacrificed their lives in order to drive out foreign enemies and defend the homeland of Yanjing.

It's a pity that the building is about to collapse, and there is no way to support it alone. Now that the Jin army and the Song army are attacking from both sides, even the resourceful Xiao Qian has no clever plan to defend the isolated city of Yanjing.

Can't stay here!If they stayed in Yanjing City, they would be caught in the urn by the Jin-Song Allied Forces and wiped out all of them.

We can only go north, there is still a vast world, enough for our army to deal with the enemy!

Xiao Qian, the King of the Fourth Army's gaze became resolute. He turned his head to look at the northern sky, and made a decision in his heart.

Xiao Qian turned around and strode towards Queen Mother Xiao.
