Chapter 980: One Eliminates the Other
The 35,000 combined forces of the Jurchen and the Song army were drawn a few days later, Wan Yan Feng learned the lesson of Wan Yan Hu, and was unwilling to risk life and death, so he only sent a 10,000 commander Chi Lao Ji to lead the Jurchen 10,000 soldiers to follow, Chi Lao Ji is a fierce general, like a black iron tower, but people are not stupid, before leaving specially explained to the dynasty that if there is an emergency, he will lead his troops to retreat quickly, and the Song army must not interfere with freedom.
The dynasty is quite helpless, it seems that the help of the 10,000 Jurchen army can not be counted on, it can only be regarded as 10,000 more to fill the scene, the dynasty then understands, why Su Jin asked him to lead the Liao army to Xinzhou Jurchen to fight, the Jurchen is indeed a selfish nation, and they will not be grateful to the Song people for helping them break through the fence of the Liao State to obtain a large piece of territory, such a tribe will develop over time, it must also be a tiger and wolf clan who betrays faith.
The army marched for three days, and first went south to detour, because after the battle of Shinshu, the Song army that escaped one after another knew that the dynasty army was in the north and rushed to turn, and more than 2,000 people were gathered in a few days.
However, it was this unintentional move that led them to encounter an unidentified force shortly after arriving at the border of Shinshu, who appeared in front of the Jurchen tribe on the right flank and almost fought with the Jurchen soldiers.
Hearing the news, the dynasty rode to the front, looking at the side of the hill in front of him densely packed with people, and was shocked, could it be the army of Yelu Chongyuan who stayed in Xinzhou? Although I can't tell the number of people, it is by no means a small army, and the trouble is that the other party does not show the flag, and it is completely impossible to see whose soldiers and horses are hidden in the fog at the foot of the mountain.
But the dynasty couldn't see each other clearly, but the other party could see the dynasty clearly, the horses' hooves roared, dozens of horses galloped over, and someone in the distance shouted in Chinese: "Who are you?" ”
When the dynasty heard the pure official words of the Song Dynasty, he was overjoyed, and immediately stepped forward and shouted, "Who are you?" Why don't you show the flag? ”
The other side shouted: "Are you Su Dashuai's Song Army?" ”
The dynasty was even more surprised, since it had happened, it was a blessing or a curse, and it was a disaster that could not be avoided, but there was no need to hide it.
"I am the deputy commander of the forward army of the Northern Army, who are you?"
The other side was silent for a long time, and suddenly turned around and ran back, and the dynasty wondered, could his prestige be enough to make the enemy famous and flee in fear?
There was a sudden commotion in the opposing formation, and then several large flags were erected, and hundreds of cavalry gathered around a general with a bronze mask with fangs and came out of the queue and rushed straight to this side.
Wang Dynasty looked carefully at the words on those flags, it was a big 'Di' character, and his heart suddenly jumped wildly, with a mask, surnamed Di, isn't it Di Qing?
Before he could ask, the masked general had already galloped over, stretched out his hand and took off the bronze mask on his face, a handsome face under the mask, and the prisoner tattoos on his cheeks were extremely dazzling, who else was Di Qing?
Wang Chao shouted and rode up to meet him, and the two came to a place, turned over and dismounted, hugged each other tightly, and laughed loudly.
It turned out that Di Qing led the right army of 80,000 people in the quiet crossing of the bay to raid Yingzhou after the success of the lead troops to go straight to the Beijing Road, halfway captured a lot of people and soldiers who fled south, only to know that there was an unprecedented war in Xinzhou, it seems to be a general battle of hundreds of thousands of people, Di Qing thought that it was Su Jin's main army and the Liao people's encirclement and suppression army encountered in Xinzhou, and hurriedly turned the direction to the northeast to march to support, but Di Qing's soldiers and horses were infantry, and it took seven or eight days to arrive in Xinzhou.
Di Qing's purpose was to go to Beijing to rescue Su Jin, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, they did not use banners, marched from a deserted place, and avoided the city, so as not to leak the news too early, but they did not expect to meet the people of the dynasty here.
The dynasty told the situation of the battle of Xinzhou, and Di Qing realized that this was Su Jin's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and not only was greatly admired: "Su Dashuai used soldiers like a god, and saw seven or eight Liao cities destroyed along the way. ”
Wang Chao said: "I don't know if the prince has already taken Linhuang Mansion, let's join forces and go to Linhuang Mansion to meet as soon as possible." ”
Di Qing said: "That's natural, since the main force of the Liao army has retreated, it must be the scene of a big battle in Beijing, without further ado, let's leave immediately, and talk about it on the road." ”
At the moment, the two armies converged in one place, although the more than 20,000 soldiers and horses of the dynasty were thin and long, but they were regarded as gods by the 80,000 soldiers brought by Di Qing, everyone did not expect that after half a year of deep penetration into the hinterland of the enemy, Su Jin's hands were full of calculations and there were still more than 100,000 soldiers and horses left, which can be described as a miracle; And these surviving soldiers, which one is not the elite of the elite, how can it not be awe-inspiring.
……
Thirty miles east of Linhuang Mansion, on the straw mat under the cedar tree, Yelu Chongyuan sat cross-legged and greeted the stunned Yelu Hongji and said, "What are you doing in a daze? Come down to accompany the imperial uncle to have a drink. ”
Beads of sweat poured out of Yelu Hongji's forehead, and he stammered, "Uncle Huang...... How do you know ......?"
Yelu Chongyuan filled the two wine cups and sighed, "How could I not know? If you don't have any thoughts, will your uncle still be alive today? ”
Yelu Hongji said: "Uncle Huang, in fact, I ......"
Yelu Chongyuan said: "Don't explain, don't quibble, you know that it can only make you more stupid, get off the horse, accompany your uncle to drink two cups, and drink in the snow has a taste, which reminds me of the scene when I was a child and your father hunting and camping in the grassland." ”
Yelu Hongji had no choice but to dismount, slowly walked to the mat and sat down, the coolness on the snow came up, and Yelu Hongji's buttocks were suddenly cold and biting.
"Back then, my father and I hunted gray wolves on the Hanerduo grassland, there was an old wolf who was cunning and tight, we chased him for two days and two nights, and when I was tired, I drank a few sips of spirits in the snow, squinted for a while, my father and I were exhausted, and the gray wolf was also exhausted, sometimes, we were only a dozen steps away, it couldn't run fast, and we couldn't catch up, you said it's funny."
Yelu Hongji laughed dryly and said, "It's funny, it's funny." ”
Yelu Chongyuan said to himself: "At that time, your father thought of an idea, and finally caught the gray wolf, and the five bodies I admired at the time were thrown to the ground, your father is really a genius, hehe, a genius." ”
Yelu Chongyuan drank all the wine in the cup, sneered a few times, Yelu Hong basically wanted to ask what the idea was, but before he could speak, Yelu Chongyuan suddenly turned his head, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Do you know what your genius father had in mind?" ”
"Nephew...... The nephew didn't know. Yelu Hongji was so frightened that he turned his head sideways and did not dare to look at him.
"Your father said that wolves like to bite people from behind, the gray wolf has been hungry for so many days, and must want to eat us, and it will definitely not dare to be together with the two of us, so your father said that he wanted me to sit with my back to the hungry wolf, showing my neck, he hid in the dark, and when the wolf pounced on me and bit me, he stabbed the wolf to death with a sharp knife in the back, hehe, do you say that your father is not a genius?"
Yelu Hongji didn't dare to answer, but listened to Yelu Chongyuan continued: "So I stupidly sat there with my neck exposed, and the wolf was really hungry, and quietly pounced on me and bit me, but fortunately I had a heart, took off my boots and put them on my neck, and the gray wolf bit down, penetrated the boots, and bit out a few small holes in my shoulder, and the sky was pitiful, I was not injured, and I was still alive; Then your father and I happily skinned the wolf, cut the wolfdog, and cut off the wolf's head and took it home, and I didn't even realize that there was anything wrong with it. ”
"Later, I slowly understood that compared with the hungry wolf, your father and my brother were more ferocious, and the queen mother loved me at that time, and your father was afraid that she would support me to ascend to the throne, so he changed his ways to create accidents, but unfortunately I was blessed with a great life; Later, I took precautions everywhere, but your father never had a chance to do it; The queen mother insisted on making me emperor, and I knew that I was no match for your father, so I went to tell him, and the queen mother, who loved me, was tortured to death by him under house arrest; Your father pretended to make me the emperor's younger brother and wanted to calm my heart, but the throne was originally mine, mine! Do you understand? It's mine at all, what kind of good person do I want him to be? ”
Yelu Chongyuan roared angrily, his eyes spewing with rage, like a man-eating beast.
"Uncle...... The nephew knows that after the abdication of the father, the nephew will be the first to support you to ascend the throne. ”
"Whew! Are you a good thing? You are more ruthless than your father, you can even kill your own mother and sisters, will you be a pure person? I keep in mind all the words you slander me every day, and now, you escaped from the battle and set up a military order, which gave me a reason to kill you in a dignified manner, and your father and emperor couldn't do anything about me afterwards, I was just a military discipline, do you understand? ”
Yelu Hongji's face changed greatly, and he waved his hand again and again: "Uncle Huang, spare your life, I am your nephew." ”
Yelu Chongyuan laughed and said, "You are my nephew? Empress Renyi or your mother, your father or my brother, so what? Eat, eat a few bites of meat, take a few sips of wine, it's your last meal. Don't worry, I will remember the affection of flesh and blood, and leave you a whole corpse. ”
Yelu Hongji shouted to his feet, reached out and touched the scimitar at his waist, and a guard had already stepped forward and twisted his arm, making him unable to move.
Yelu Hongji struggled and yelled and scolded, Yelu Chongyuan reached out and pulled off a leg of mutton, pinched his cheek and pestle it in, and immediately stuffed his scolding into his stomach.
"Let's do it." Yelu Chongyuan turned his back and looked at the vast undulating snowfield in the distance, a rope behind him was put around Yelu Hongji's neck, and the other end was tied to the treetops.
Yelu Hongji's body struggled violently in mid-air, and the body of the tree also shook violently, and the remnants of snow on the canopy of the tree were shaken and fluttered down, like catkins in March.
