After the execution, some servants carried him to his camp and gave him medicine to heal his wounds. At this time, someone came in and presented Wanyan Yungong with a war letter written by Wanyan Changzhi.

This battle letter was sent by the deputy general of a Fushi Liehu Shahu who was captured by Wan Yan Changzhi during the attack on the camp of Deer last night, and in the letter, Wan Yan Changzhi asked Wan Yan Yungong to fight to the death early tomorrow morning by the Hutuo River.

However, the wording of the letter was very arrogant, full of contempt for Wan Yan Yungong. At the end of the letter, it was even written that if Wanyan Yungong had no courage to face the battle, then he would disarm and surrender as soon as possible, and Wanyan Changzhi would ensure that his life would not be harmed, and he would be named a returnee.

Such a letter with the contents naturally made Wan Yan Yungong angry, and he tore the letter to shreds in a few clicks, pointed to the east and scolded: "Wan Yan Changzhi, you traitor dare to look down on me so much, when I catch you, I will definitely cut you with a thousand knives and break your body into thousands of pieces." Then I will behead you all over the house and destroy the nine clans, so that I can relieve my anger. ”

Although Wanyan Baisa, Shuqi Gaohu, Xiaosa, Bai Yanjing and others present had not read the content of the letter, but seeing that the emperor was so angry, they naturally knew that Wanyan Changzhi must have said a lot of ugly things in the letter, so they all said: "Your Majesty is angry, angry." Hugh is to be like the traitor. ”

Wanyan Yungong was still angry, and said to Shuqi Gao Hu: "Gao Hu, you give the order, and tomorrow you will prepare to send troops to fight to the death with that thief." ”

Shuqi Gaohu hurriedly said: "Weichen Zun order, Your Majesty, please relax, Wanyan Changzhi was just a fluke victory last night, and he actually got carried away, and dared to challenge us without his strength, and tomorrow will fight, and Weichen will teach that thief to come and go." ”

When he said this, it was not empty words, because although Sushi Liehu Shahu was defeated for a while, there were still more than 130,000 troops on Wanyan Yungong's side, and Wanyan Changzhi's current strength was less than 30,000, and the number of outnumbered people was still very different. Therefore, Mu Qi Gao Hu is full of confidence.

And Po Sa and Bai Yanjing glanced at each other, and they both saw the worried looks in each other's eyes. Both of them are also proficient in the art of war, and they know that although Wan Yan Changzhi won a battle yesterday, but in the current situation of disparity in strength, Wan Yan Changzhi's best strategy is to follow the method of defeating the Husha Tiger of Su Shilie, focusing on the tactics of sneak attack and ambush, giving full play to the advantages of his mastery of tactics, accumulating small victories into big victories, and trying to avoid frontal decisive battles. But Wan Yan Changzhi seemed to be really a little carried away, and actually took the initiative to challenge himself, and also used words to provoke Wan Yan Yungong, obviously forcing himself to the point where he had to fight.

But of course, the two of them would not think that Wanyan Changzhi was really complacent, and there must be some conspiracy in this. But although both of them thought so, no one said it. First, it's because the two of them can't figure out what tricks Yan Changzhi has, if Wanyan Yungong asks, he can't answer, and secondly, the fate of Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining really makes the two of them feel cold, now at this time, it's better to have more than one thing less, as for the outcome of this battle, then you can only leave it to fate.

So Wan Yan Yungong immediately ordered someone to write a reply, agreeing to a decisive battle tomorrow, and scolded Wan Yan Changzhi in the letter. Wanyan Yungong originally planned to kill the messenger out of anger, because he wanted to send the letter back, so he had to spare the messenger, but Wanyan Yungong was still angry, and beat the messenger with forty military sticks before letting it go.

After Wan Yan Changzhi received the reply, he couldn't help laughing and said to the West: "Wan Yan Yungong, tomorrow will be your death." Then he said to Pu Atong: "Pu Atong, have you prepared everything I asked you to prepare?" ”

Pu Atong said: "Lord Hui, everything is ready, I will take someone to review it tonight, so that it is foolproof." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi nodded and said, "Then I will rest assured, pass the order, let the soldiers of each battalion prepare, and fight tomorrow." ”

Shi Dingyue was still a little uneasy, and said: "My lord, although we have this preparation, we can catch the enemy by surprise, but after all, the disparity in strength is too great, and I am afraid that we may not be able to win easily." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi smiled and said: "Don't worry, of course I won't only have this one to prepare, and tomorrow, there will definitely be Wan Yan Yungong who will feel good." But you all go and tell the soldiers tonight, and after saying that, Monk Yan Chen's 80,000-strong army is ambushed behind the enemy's back, and tomorrow we will be flanked from the front and rear, and we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy. ”

Shi Dingyue's heart was shocked, and he immediately understood Wanyan Changzhi's intentions. He is also a battle-hardened man who knows that victory is the best thing that can best inspire the morale of the army. After the victory in the first battle, the morale of Wanyan Changzhi's army was greatly boosted, and there was an ambush army that did not actually exist as a monk of Wanyan Chen, so not only the people of Nanjing, but even the soldiers of Zhongdu felt full of confidence in defeating the opponent, so everyone was full of breath, and they couldn't wait to start a war with the enemy immediately and establish military merits, so that after Wanyan Changzhi became the emperor, he had a place in the new dynasty.

Under such circumstances, only by continuing to conceal the truth and maintain lies can we maintain the morale of the current army and make sure that in tomorrow's decisive battle, they will be able to fight to the death without fear in the face of an enemy army that is several times their size.

However, with less than 30,000 men fighting to the death, will they be able to defeat the enemy? Shi Dingyue didn't have a bottom in his heart. What if the two sides enter a stalemate after tomorrow's fighting, the soldiers will find out that the ambush they have been pinning their hopes on does not actually exist?

But now Yijing has no other way out, he can only fully trust Wan Yan Changzhi, and hope that it is really as he said, there are other preparations.

Tomorrow, that is, within the three days set by Wan Yan Changzhi, a quick battle will be made and the last day of Wan Yan Yungong's deadline will be completely defeated.

Early the next morning, Wanyan Changzhi led all his men and horses to line up on the east bank of the Hutuo River.

Not long after, the sound of golden drums on the other side of the river also rose and fell, and Wanyan Yungong's army also began to mobilize, gathering in the vast plains on the west bank of the Hutuo River.

Wanyan Yungong poured out of the nest this time, with 30,000 cavalry and 103,000 infantry. Although Qi Gaohu is not a general, he is not all incompetent, and the array he has laid is also in the middle of the rules.

The front team consisted mainly of 20,000 infantry, and formed a long horizontal formation 60 paces away from the Hutuo River, with 5,000 cavalry on each flank. The 83,000 infantry troops in the rear were arranged in four phalanxes, while the 20,000 cavalry were divided into two teams and arranged between the infantry formations. The whole formation is more than 1,200 steps horizontally, and there are 7 or 800 steps in the longitudinal line, the shield is like a wall, the swords and guns are lined up, the strong crossbow and arrows are strong, the hook is long and the blow is resisted, the momentum is huge, the army is prosperous, and it is far above the army on the other side of the Hutuo River. Anyone who sees the formation of the two sides also feels that the certainty of winning this battle is at least eighty percent.

But in the Jin army array, Po Sa and Bai Yanjing both felt very inappropriate. Although the Hutuo River is not a big river, and although it is now the beginning of spring, the water has not yet begun to rise, and the width of the entire river is less than 100 steps. At the same time, the river is not deep, and the deepest part is up to the chest and neck of people, and you can cross the river on foot. But after all, it is a river, how can this battle be fought? The two sides can't fight in the river, right? Wanyan Changzhi deliberately lined up across the river, what is his intention? Could it be that he planned to lure Wanyan Yungong across the river and attack while he was halfway through, which was very possible. With a rough temperament, he is likely to be fooled.

At this moment, the drums on the opposite bank thundered, and after the three-way drum sounded, it fell silent. A war horse ran out of the formation, and the general on the horse was Wanyan Changzhi. However, he did not bring any weapons, and rode to the river with his bare hands, and said, "Wanyan Yungong, do you dare to come to the river to answer me?" ”

was called by Wan Yan Changzhi in public, Wan Yan Yungong was willing to show weakness, not to mention that it was still across the Hutuo River, and Wan Yan Changzhi did not bring bows, arrows, guns and other weapons, what is there to be afraid of. Therefore he also took the reins and urged his horse to the river. Shuqi Gaohu and Wanyan Baisa were afraid that he would lose, so one left and one right, followed each other on both sides. However, Po Sa and Bai Yanjing were also afraid that he would be provoked by Wanyan Changzhi, so they ordered to cross the river to fight, but they were taken advantage of by the enemy, so they also jumped out of their horses and followed.

After coming to the river, Wanyan Yungong pointed at the opposite bank with a horsewhip and scolded: "Wanyan Changzhi, you traitor, what is my Dajin sorry for you, dare to raise troops to rebel, it is really a great rebellion, and the crime is unforgivable." ”

Wan Yan Changzhi said with a smile: "Wan Yan Yungong, this Dajin Jiangshan Sheji was still beaten down by Emperor Taizu Taizong with a knife and a shot, and it is not yours alone, the capable live in it, and the incompetent lose it." You are completely honest and incompetent, this time you personally conquered Western Xia, returned defeated, lost troops and dismantled generals, caused hundreds of thousands of soldiers to die in vain in foreign lands, and greatly damaged my face, these are all your faults. Now, why are you still the emperor of Dajin, it is better to give up the throne as soon as possible. Knowing the opportunity to kneel down and surrender immediately, I can not only spare your life, but also reward you with an official position, otherwise you will regret it. ”

Wanyan Yungong was angry and angry, and without thinking, he said: "The defeat of Western Xia is clearly due to the collusion between you and Fusan Zhongyi and Fushi Lie Zhining, and instructed the two of them to do it deliberately, and the letters you wrote to them were intercepted by me, don't I know?" Still talking about bullying here. ”

Wanyan Changzhi laughed and said: "Wanyan Yungong, I have never colluded with Fusan Zhongyi and Sushi Lie Zhining, that letter is just a small discordant plan made by me, and it is fake." ”

After hearing this, Wan Yan Yungong couldn't help but shake his body, and said in disbelief: "What? ”
