Chapter 957: The Great Chieftain

Wan Yan Hu, the leader of the Jurchen tribe, has been closely following the development of the situation since the beginning of the Liao and Song wars, and his subordinates rule seven tribes.

Whenever he saw that the cattle, sheep and horses of the tribe were forcibly requisitioned by the Liao, and the compatriots in the tribe were beaten and bullied by the Liao, he hated to take out a sharp knife and stepped on the horse to fight with the Liao.

But reason told him that he couldn't do this, if he did, the Liao people would mercilessly slaughter his tribesmen, whether it was strength or strength, the Jurchen clan was by no means the opponent of the Liao State, he could only swallow his anger and wait for the opportunity, like a wolf in the night, watching with blazing eyes.

The Liao people have never really relaxed their vigilance against the Jurchen clan, and on the front line of Huanglongfu in Longzhou, there will always be no less than 100,000 Liao troops, and their intentions are self-evident.

But after the start of the Song-Liao War, Wanyanhu sent a large number of sentinels to scatter every day to listen, the news came one by one, every news made his heartbeat more rapid, first the garrison of Longzhou was transferred to the south to participate in the attack on the Song Dynasty, but then the Liao people recruited Hu Congjun to arrive, the combat power of the Hu Congjun was not strong, but there were many people, Wanyanhu still did not dare to move, he was full of only 50,000 troops, and he could not tolerate half a point of misconduct.

Later, the news of the Song army's surprise attack on Shangjing came, and most of the Hu Congjun on the border were also transferred, without thinking too much, they must have been transferred to Shangjing to guard Linhuang Mansion, so far there were only less than 50,000 defenders near Longzhou, and Yan Hu trembled with excitement after learning such news.

But he is still very cautious, in addition to being prepared, he is waiting, he is judging whether the Liao people are no longer able to deal with him, it is good to take advantage of the chaos to raise troops, but if the Liao and Song Dynasty reach a tacit understanding and end in peace talks, it will be a big trouble.

While waiting, the news of Su Jin's army conquering more than a dozen state capitals all the way came continuously, and the Liao State seemed to be unable to cope with this army deep into the hinterland, Wan Yanhu came to the conclusion that the Liao army had been dragged to the south by the Song people, and there was nothing to be done about the Song army, and such a great opportunity was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Just when he was about to raise troops to seize Huanglong Mansion, the Song army actually fought all the way north along the Tokyo Road, all the way to Zhengzhou, Wan Yanhu suddenly felt a huge pressure, in the eyes of the Song people, he and the Liao people are a nostril out of anger, whether the Song army will attack their own tribe, this is really worrying; Wan Yanhu had to suspend his plan to attack Huanglong Mansion and pay full attention to the movements of the Song army in case he was attacked by the Song people.

At noon on this day, Wanyanhu rode a horse and led his men to patrol the edge of the mountains and forests fifty miles east of Zhengzhou, which was where the Jurchen defense line was located, and the densely wooded mountains were the familiar terrain of the Jurchens. The hot autumn sun shines on the daisies all over the mountains and fields blooming vigorously, and the fragrance of flowers makes people dizzy, at this moment, a long whistle breaks the quiet mountain forest, one long and two short, this is a signal that the enemy is approaching, Wan Yanhu's heart is pinched, and he hurriedly climbs to the small hillside where the sentry is located.

Following the direction pointed by the sentry, more than a dozen horsemen galloped over the grassland under the hillside, all wearing armor and carrying long knives, looking majestic.

"It's the Song Army, it's the Song Army over there, I know this armor." Wan Yanhu said in a low voice.

"It's just that why are there only a dozen or so riders here?" Wan Yanhu was a little puzzled again.

More than a dozen horsemen arrived at the mouth of the forest valley in an instant, they seemed to have no scruples, and rushed over without slowing down, and the subordinates looked at Wan Yanhu and asked him to show him, Wan Yanhu thought about it and waved his hand, and the subordinates around him immediately got up and stood on the top of the slope and let out a long 'oh ho ho' shout.

In an instant, on the hillside, countless voices came out among the trees, and the sound of 'oh ho ho' was loud, and then they rushed out to stop the dozen or so Song soldiers.

The dozen or so Song soldiers were stunned, and the war horses under the seat were also disturbed by the manpower, and they hurriedly stopped.

"Got it." Wan Yanhu shouted.

Dozens of soldiers stepped forward with bamboo spears, and the bamboo spears were raised diagonally to surround more than a dozen Song troops, and a tall leader in the Song army shouted: "Dare to ask who is your friend, is it the subordinate of the leader of Wanyan?" ”

After Yan Hu was stunned, Song Jun actually knew his name, which was a little strange.

"I am Jingtai, the commander of the vanguard army under the account of Su Jin, the general of the Great Song Town, and I came to discuss important matters with the leader of Wanyan in the name of the marshal." The man said in a loud voice.

Wan Yanhu frowned and thought about it, he had nothing to do with the Song people, how could he discuss things, they all said that the Song people were tricky, and it was difficult to guarantee that there were no tricks.

"Great Chief, they seem to know you." One of the men asked.

"Meet the birds, take them." Wanyan Hu waved his big hand, and the subordinate shouted: "The big chief has an order, take them down." ”

Dozens of soldiers were ordered, and the bamboo spears in their hands forced everyone, and a few people reached out to drag the Song army on the horse, and suddenly the figure flashed, and several soldiers who were close to the arrester were each hit by a heavy kick in the chest, as if they were hit hard by a sledgehammer, and staggered a few steps to the ground.

"Damn, we sent us to deliver the letter because you looked at it, you savages don't know how to lift, and they come to arrest people without saying a word, who dares to come over, grandpa beats him with a full face." A five-short and incomparably strong Song army stood in front of several Jurchen soldiers who fell to the ground and shouted loudly.

I hadn't seen anything in the crowd just now when I was caught in the crowd on a horse, and when I looked at his face, I was suddenly frightened, and if it weren't for the brilliant daylight, I thought I had seen a ghost; This person's face is full of flesh, and his nostrils are thick, like a bottomless pit of two black holes, and he looks extremely terrifying.

The Jurchen soldiers gathered up the courage to stab the man with a bamboo spear, and the man turned sideways and scooped up seven or eight bamboo spears and turned around in a squeaky nest, and the soldiers on the other end of the bamboo spear followed his rotation and fell down.

"Phew, take a burning stick and fight, warn you, don't annoy your grandfather and me, otherwise grandpa will be angry, and you won't be able to eat and walk around." The man spat a few times and scolded.

The soldiers did not dare to retreat without an order, and they got up and were about to continue to step forward, when Wan Yanhu shouted a loud scolding from behind him: "Don't retreat, isn't it enough to be ashamed?" ”

The soldiers hurriedly retreated, and Wanyanhu strode up to the ugly Song army, and arched his hand: "What a handsome skill, but the tone is also quite big." ”

The man laughed and said, "Hey, what are you doing with a chicken feather on your head?" On a hot day, you wear a tiger skin shoulder bare-chested, and you don't panic, haha. ”

Wan Yan Hu was furious, tightened the cloth belt around his waist and said: "I Wan Yan Hu, the Jurchen Great Chief, this military master is strong in martial arts, and I have come to ask for a few tricks." ”

The Jurchens are brave and do not admit defeat, and every year they will hold tribal martial arts competitions, and they are already proud of martial arts, especially for outsiders, they must not lose in martial arts, not to mention that the Song army generals in front of them are humiliating and rude, and they want to ask for advice from their fists and feet.

"It turns out that you are the leader of Wanyan, this is General Mahan, the deputy commander of my vanguard army, I am here to apologize to you for him, my marshal sent me a letter, please ...... the boss"

"Don't be busy, I'll talk about it after I've talked to this General Mahan." Wan Yanhu interrupted the words of the Song Army officer who claimed to be Jingtai, the vanguard of the Song Army, and stared at Ma Han for a moment.

Jingtai frowned, leaned down from the horse and leaned into Ma Han's ear and said, "General Ma, don't hurt people, we have something important to do, and we will scold when we turn around." ”

This sentence sounded extremely harsh in Wanyanhu's ears, what does it mean to 'don't hurt people'? Isn't this a clear statement that he is not the opponent of the person in front of him? At that moment, the qi surged upward, forced himself to suppress, and shouted: "Let's start." ”

Ma Han laughed, stretched out his hand to take off the helmet on his head, took off the armor on his body and threw it on the ground, and the waist knife was still on the grass, turned his fist, turned his crackling thick neck and said: "Let's talk about it first, but don't be anxious, let's talk about business with him after the fight, if you lose and are unhappy and leave, then my old horse can look down on you." ”

Wan Yanhu said angrily: "Let's see who can win whom." Before the words fell, his body shook, and he approached Ma Han's side, his hands were spread, and he grabbed him viciously in the chest.
