Chapter 538: Wolf Smoke Rises
Although the progress of the Song army was not slow, Tian Hu was still burned into a piece of coke, although when Sun Jing saw this piece of coke for the first time, he vomited, and almost did not vomit out the liver and gallbladder completely, but he still ordered someone to put this piece of coke into a sack, after all, at any time, physical evidence is more convincing than empty words, although Sun Jing can only drink some soup, the credit for the big head will fall on Gao Feng's head.
In stark contrast to the elation of Sun Jing and others, the five remaining Jiedu envoys led by Wang Huan were full of loneliness, and they knew that with the pacification of Tian Hu, it meant that the war with Li Tang in the north would start at any time, and they would really fight to the death with their old brothers Xu Jing and Mei Zhan on the battlefield.
Ten gloomy gazes swept across the northern sky, and all that could be left was a long sigh and a silent mourning in my heart.
Just when the Song army sent troops to conquer Tianhu, a big war broke out in the north, everyone knows that the battle between Li Tang and Zhao Song and Jurchen is a matter of time and time, if the battle with Zhao Song is just a battle within the Han family, then the battle with the Jurchens is a battle that determines the fate of the entire Han family, after all, Li Junchen from later generations, but he clearly knows that in history, the Jurchens went south to bring to the Han people, and it was a human tragedy with corpses and starvation.
Although in the original trajectory, there is the Yuejia army of "regretting the mountain and regretting the difficulty of the Yue family's army", and there are famous generals such as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun who have repeatedly defeated the Jurchens, but the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen army cannot be underestimated, and "the Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible" will definitely not be an empty phrase only recorded on the page.
According to the plan originally discussed by Li Junchen and others, it was to take the Song Realm first, and then gather the strength of the whole country, go north to the grassland, fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens outside the border, and completely uproot the Jurchen and other forces, of course, in their plan, if Zhao Ji can follow his promise, the entire world of Zhao Song will be ceded to Li Tang, it will naturally be the best, but judging from the news transmitted by Lehe, Shi Qian and others, Zhao Ji not only has the intention of fulfilling his promise, but also has the taste of going north with a whole army, after Li Junchen and others have discussed it, Determined to strike first, choose a day to announce Zhao Ji's promise to the world, and then raise troops to the south.
Just when Li Junchen's troops were about to go south and fight Zhao Ji for a time difference, the news of the Jurchen soldiers and horses violating the border came from Tan and Ruzhou.
When he received the news, Li Junchen's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses running back and forth there, and he was immediately messy, and he had the heart to send troops desperately, but every time he thought of the ferocity of the Jurchen soldiers and the expectant eyes of the people of the Han family in the north, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sighed, slammed the Aoxue plum blossom gun on the ground, and ordered to change the south to the north, and expel the Jurchens first.
Xu Guanzhong and Lin Chong understood Li Junchen very well in the end, and immediately drove their horses to Junchen's side, and comforted Junchen with good words, which made his heart feel a little better.
Since the troops are going north, then intelligence is naturally the first, and with the existence of the Tianji Battalion, the reason for the Jurchen soldiers' invasion will soon be clearly explored.
It's just that the moment this reason came out of Shi Qian's mouth, everyone's eyes looking at Li Junchen revealed an inexplicable taste, and even Li Junchen himself couldn't help but look up at the sky and said rudely, "! Why is there such a thing, God, are you playing with me! ”
It turned out that the reason why this Jurchen soldier would raise troops to invade the territory was not that Zhao Ji asked him to send troops to share the land of Yanyun together, nor did he want to raise troops to go south and eliminate Li Tang and Zhao Song together, but that the Khitan Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi was forced to hide in Tibet after being attacked by the Jurchens in Shangjing, and after escaping several times, he escaped to the land of Yanyun for some reason.
You must know that the hatred between Wanyan Aguta and Yelu Yanxi is difficult to wash away even if he pours all the water from all over the world, not to mention running to the land of Yanyun, which he already regards as his territory, or running to the territory of Zhao Song, he will raise troops to enter the country at all costs and capture Naye Yanxi.
So, under the order of Wanyan Aguda, 20,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry immediately broke into the land of Yanyun, and the place where they met was like locusts crossing the border, not a single grass grows, and under their butcher's knife, no life can continue to survive.
Whether it is Pang Yi, the Tang general stationed in Danzhou, or Li Congji and Xu Jing, the Tang generals stationed in Confucianism, are all because they are unwilling to engage troops with Zhao and Song, and specially apply to Junchen to be stationed here.
originally thought that Li Junchen could lead a large number of Khitan 300,000 horses and behead the famous Khitan general Wu Yanguang, so they gathered 30,000 defenders from two states to deal with 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses, which was naturally a matter of hand-to-hand capture.
However, the result of the battle greatly surprised them, there was not one out of 30,000 soldiers and horses, Xu Jing, Li Congji, and Pang Yi were all seriously injured, and it was easy to fight their way out of a bloody way to escape back to their respective state cities, and the loss of the Jurchens was only 3,000 people, creating the largest battle loss ratio since Li Junchen raised the army.
When everyone heard such a battle loss ratio, they all gasped, but they did not lose their fighting spirit, on the contrary, Yang Zaixing, who was full of fighting spirit and always liked to take the lead, jumped out first, "Tang Wang, these Jurchens are so hateful, they can't let them escape, the last general asked for orders to be the vanguard, and led the troops to dare to go to Confucianism and Tan Erzhou, and I can't say that I want to stop the arrogance of the Jurchens!" ”
Yang Zaixing jumped out here, and Gao Zhong over there immediately stood up, "King Tang, this Jurchen is fierce and menacing, when a strong general leads the troops, he can defeat the enemy, the last general is not talented, but he thinks that he is so higher than Brother Yang in martial arts, is it better to let the last general go to the vanguard!" ”
When Yang Zaixing heard this, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately wanted to pull Gao Pet out to try it out, and the winner served as the pioneer to go to Confucianism and Tan Erzhou, where would Gao Pet show weakness, and immediately responded.
Just when the two of them were about to leave and go out to compete, four more people stood up, and when the two raised their eyes to look, they saw Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzong, Zhang Yinglei, and Tao Zhenting standing in front of Junchen together, Xin Congzong hugged his fists towards Junchen and said: "Tang Wang, the last general and other four people have never made any merit since they returned to Shun, and they should not have thought about it, but the last general and the four people thought about it again and again, and still wanted to implore the Tang King to send me and the other four to Confucianism and Tan Erzhou, one is to exterminate the Jurchen soldiers who entered the country, and the other is to defend the border of the Tang Dynasty and guard the two states. Please also ask King Tang to agree! ”
Li Junchen couldn't guess what they thought, so he immediately glanced at Xu Guanzhong and the others, nodded, and said, "Since the four generals have this intention, this king should agree!" Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Deng Zongbi, Xin Congzong, Zhang Yinglei, Tao Zhenting, and Zhu Wu listen to orders! ”
Yang Zaixing, Gao Chong, Xin Congzong and others immediately hugged their fists towards Junchen and responded: "The last general (Your Majesty) is here!" ”
"Order you and the other six to be the vanguard, with Zhu Wu as the military advisor, leading 20,000 troops first, and be sure to limit the Jurchen soldiers and horses to the land of Danzhou, there must be no mistakes!"
"The last general obeys!"
