Chapter 33: The Sound of Pillow Hoofs (18)
[There will be a change a little later.] 】
As soon as he arrived in Yizhou, Yelu Yixin did not wait for a rest, and walked straight to the head of Xicheng
Looking to the west, the mountains and mountains of Taihang Mountain are in sight. Looking at the foot, there are still many relics of the Song army's siege a few days ago.
Jereyisin plucked a crossbow bolt from the outer side of the wall. The bolt was deep in the wall, and it took some effort to get it down. Compared to the crossbow arrows used in the Divine Arm Bow seen in the past, the arrows are thicker and longer, and the arrow clusters are sharper. Just looking at the cluster of arrows that pierced into the wall and was not damaged at all, it is not difficult to imagine what it would look like if the landing point was changed to armor.
"This is probably the newly made armor-piercing crossbow of the Song people." Yelu Yixin sighed lightly, turned around and handed the arrow to Xiao Delit, who was following closely behind, "Bed crossbows, divine arm bows, thunderbolt cannons, flying boats, horse chopping knives, plate armor, armor-piercing crossbows, winding machines, the Song people are a new trick a year, and they can't keep up." ”
"That's true. But with Shang's father's strategy, didn't the Song people flee in embarrassment this time? Xiao Delit said flatteringly, "Although a strong bow and a hard crossbow are good, they don't work all the time. ”
"But what kind of virtue is the Hebei army of the Southern Dynasty, the envoys and meticulous work in the past have been rewarded. But as soon as you use strong armor, you can fight back and forth with the palace division army for a few rounds. Yelu Yixin was unwilling, and slowly paced forward, measuring the mottled city wall with his feet, "It has never been so difficult to use soldiers in the Southern Dynasty. ”
Xiao Delite was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to follow Yelu Yixin's tone or continue to pat on the back. If you say the wrong thing, you may never recover.
His in-law, Xiao Ruli, who was also a cousin's brother, had recently 'died of illness' and was posthumously presented to the King of Qin - simply because he was the grandfather of the new emperor, and the so-called posthumous son of Emperor Xuanzong was born to his daughter.
Yelu Yixin will not let go of anyone who threatens him, nor will he let go of any obstacle in front of the throne, and now many people are speculating about when Shang's father will sacrifice to heaven and earth, and let the young master Zen who still speaks badly be located in him. The abdicated emperor must not live long, and those who are related to the old are equally dangerous, and Shawdlett worries day and night that he will inexplicably die of illness.
Yelu Yixin didn't care what Xiao Territe was thinking, he had already sunk into his own thoughts.
After a period of fighting, the performance of the Song people made him more and more surprised. The upper echelons of the Liao State are very familiar with the erosion of the Hebei Army in the long peace. But now that a fight starts, even breaking through the border village of the Song people, you have to rely on luck.
That's not the Western Army that has been fighting for decades.
It's not that there is no way to defend the Jerueth Sinnason. It is not impossible to disperse and break into the interior of the Song Kingdom with a small force of soldiers and horses. But such a rush is a gamble of complete luck. Bad luck, coupled with a steady and spicy Guo Kui, is the result of being wiped out one by one after all. And the large-scale march of more than 5,000 people will inevitably be intercepted by the Song army.
The several troops and horses that had been tested before were scheduled to join forces after the breakthrough, but they were forced by the Song people again and again to be unable to do so, and they were driven out of strength like rabbits in the end. Guo Kui's old spicy is also really shocking.
What's more, the thousands of miles of ponds on the Song-Liao border are now melting with ice and snow, and it is difficult for the cavalry to cross in a hurry.
The wind was strong in the city, and the wind carried sand, which made people's eyes squint.
The hot and dry wind and sand, as well as the infinite heat of the sun overhead, made Yelu Yixin stand still.
Spring!
The season for this battle is not right.
The mistake in time made the Khitan elite combat power more than halved. In other words, when the autumn is high and the horse is fat, whether it is the sustained power of the battle, the long-distance action force, or even the impact power on the battlefield, it is far from being comparable to the spring.
It's just that on the battlefield where you are alive and dead, can the enemy still say that the time is wrong, and wait for me to recover my strength and fight again. Especially from the Song people, Yelu Yixin has smelled a different smell. In the future, if the Song people take the initiative to attack, how could they choose to come in the season of high autumn and horse fat?
Looking up at the scorching sun again, Yelu Yixin raised his voice back and called, "Ah Guta." ”
When Xiao Delit heard this name, he frowned slightly, and when he looked back, he saw a tall young man coming up from behind and kneeling down to Yelu Yixin: "The villain is here." ”
After Yan Agu beating, the son of the Jurchen Wanyan clan patriarch and the son of the Jurchen Jiedu who made Wanyan impeachment Libo, Zhang Zong, who served the 'sick and dying' before, is now obeying orders under the tent of Shang's father. This Jurchen person's costume is no different from that of the Khitans, but his face is still a little different from the Khitans.
Wanyan Aguta is now being favored here in Yelu Yixin, and many things are entrusted to him. It's just that many people around Shang's father, including Xiao Delit, don't like them.
Yelu Yixin knew what to say, but he didn't care, he ordered: "You go to Brother Yan and see how he has arranged the camp." ”
"The villain has to be ordered." Ah Guda responded loudly, full of energy and calm.
Yelu Yixin nodded, and then ordered, "Go and see Brother Ying again." Tell him that the weather is not good, that he must be careful of the disease, and that the horses must be scattered. By the way, your uncles and nephews also happened to get together. ”
Ah Guda responded with full of energy, thanked Yelu Yixin for his care, and then turned around and went down to the city in great strides.
Seeing Aguta leave, Yelu Yixin resumed his walk along the city wall. He admired this Jurchen boy very much, and used him more to do things.
Even the sugar cake mixed with poison was offered to Ah Guo, and Ah Guda sent it on the order of Yelu Yixin. To be more specific, it was actually Ah Guda who forced the poison cake into Ah Guo's mouth - although Ah Guo was young, he was very smart, and he ate the poison cake without being confused, which is also the reason why Yelu Yixin was able to make up his mind for what was the last - whether Ah Guo was poisoned or choked to death after the last Ah Guo really can't tell.
Although the goal was finally achieved, Yelu Yixin still had to take a lot of trouble to cover up Ah Guo's too miserable death. When I turned around, I heard the complaints of the people below, saying that these female straight barbarians are just thick with their hands and feet.
It's just rough and rough, these are good dogs!
Although there are unruly eyes hidden in the eyes of many Jurchens, Yelu Yixin, who holds a territory of thousands of miles, does not care about this trivial matter. There are more people with such eyes under his hands. Most of the dogs in the Southern Dynasties were raised to eat meat, while the dogs in the North were good for hunting, and they were not a little rebellious, where was the material for doing things?
Shangjing and Nanjing are the root of Yelu Yixin, and they are extremely tightly controlled, while Xijing has Xiao Thirteen, and Zhongjing has a return to leave, only Tokyo Road is the most unstable, even if a group of anti-thieves are killed, but the source of the trouble is still hidden. Now that the Jurchen tribes are pressed from the north, they can be more stable.
"Father."
After following Yelu Yixin for a while, Xiao Delit suddenly spoke.
"What." Yelu Yixin didn't look back.
"You have to watch out for those female straight barbarians!" Xiao Deli was bold and admonished: "The Han people have a saying: If you are not of my race, your heart will be different. Female straight barbarians are not to be believed. ”
"Why?" Jereyisin tilted his head.
"The power of the Wanyan Department is too great, and in the past two years, he has relied on the power of Shang's father, and has unified all the female departments up and down the Duck River under his command. A few days ago, even a few of the five ministries threw themselves into the impeachment campaign. This time, they were ordered to go south, and they were given a full thousand pairs of fine iron armor of the Southern Dynasty, and countless weapons. After they go back, it won't take a few years, and I'm afraid that even the Jurchens of the East China Sea will listen to the orders of the impeachment. ”
Return? Will they go back? Yelu Yixin sneered in front of him. Divide the crowd and kill its momentum. This truth, he still needs to be taught?
"Merit is rewarded, how can you convince the public without this?! Even if it's a straight woman, as long as you have merit, I will reward it. A cold glance back at Yelu Yixin made Shawdrite cold from the top of his head to his heels.
Yelu Yixin continued to move forward, looking at the mountains in the distance to the west, "I have rewarded a thousand pairs of iron armor precisely because of their merits. When there was a result in this battle, he asked Brother Wan Yan Ying to lead one or two thousand tents to the foot of Montenegro. I will give him a good piece of land. This time, his credit is not small, and I will never be stingy with what should be rewarded. ”
One or two thousand accounts?!
Shawritt immediately said nothing.
How many accounts are there in the headquarters of the Wanyan Department? 5,000 tents were killed, and one account and two dings were counted, which was exactly 10,000 people. It was with these more than 10,000 sons and daughters that Wanyan impeached the bowl to beat all the large and small tribes around Baishan and Heishui, making them bow their heads and ears.
Yelu Yixin opened his mouth, and he went to nearly forty percent of the strength of the Yan Department, and it is justified - the brothers are separated, who can say that it is not? - But in this way, the foundation of the impeachment of the Li Bo Weifu and Tongjiang will be broken.
Yelu Yixin snorted softly, as if sarcastic.
What do Wanyan's brothers and sons do by their side? Hostage!
So that both parties can rest assured. Without Brother Yan Ying becoming an official of his own family, without Ah Guda as a guard by his side, he would not be so obedient when he was impeached.
But Yelu Yixin never slackened his vigilance against the Jurchens.
He let Brother Wanyan Ying lead the Jurchen army that went south, instead of letting Wanyan impeach the bowl over, precisely in order to be able to justifiably divide the people of Wanyan's department.
This time it's Brother Wan Yan Ying, and next time it's Wan Yan Ah Gu.
When he is impeached and killed, let his son Wu Yashu take over, and Ah Guda can come to divide the family. As long as outsiders are not greedy, and the accounts within the Yan Department are divided, except for the impeachment of Libo and Wu Yashu, no one can complain.
Yelu Yixin also read the history books of the Han people, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, which one has the more beautiful means to deal with the vassal state, he is naturally clear.
At this time, smoke and dust rose in the distance outside the city, and they went straight to Yizhou City. Judging from the direction, it came from the Flying Fox side. Looking at the momentum, there are still a lot of people, I am afraid that there are more than 100 people
Jeruethin stopped, and watched as the group of men and horses had taken a quarter of an hour to enter the city from the west.
After a while, the soldiers went to the city to report: "Yelu Xiaojie, the left prime minister of Nanfu, asks to see him." ”
Xiao Delit's hand tightened, and it turned out to be Zhang Xiaojie who was given the surname Yelu! What did he come back for? Could it be that the situation in Hedong is not good! He immediately came to a conclusion in his heart, if it was a victory, he would only fly to Wujing, only if the situation in Hedong was not good, and some strategies needed to be approved by Shang's father, Zhang Xiaojie would rush back from Daizhou.
He looked at Jeruyisin and found nothing. What he could think of, Father Shang would definitely be able to think of, but it didn't make Father Shang's face change a little.
But when Zhang Xiaojie caught up with the city and only said a few words, Yelu Yixin's face changed suddenly: "What, Xinkouzhai is also going to give up?!" ”
