Chapter 699 Drive out the gold thief and return my homeland!

Uru is back?

Wanyan Salihe and Abuhan looked at each other, both of them were a little confused.

Didn’t Ulu just set out yesterday morning? Why are you back now?

Dingxiang is more than a hundred miles away from Daizhou, so no matter how fast he is, he can't be that fast.

"Let him in."

Wulu hurried in and said with an embarrassed look: "Du Tong, we were attacked by the Song Army!"

"What did you say?" Wanyan Sali jumped up from his chair.

"I...we were sneak attacked by the Song Army!"

Wanyan Sali was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He grabbed Ulu's collar and roared angrily: "You mean, there is no food coming from the south?"

"Everyone calm down. The last general doesn't know that the Song army has already been ambushing halfway, and all of them are cavalry. Our army has been walking for a day and is exhausted. The Song army is waiting for work!"

"What a ghost!" Wanyan Sali shouted, "Can someone named Wu turn into an army from the ground!"

"Calm down your anger." Abuhan on the other side said, "The matter has come to this, we should find another way."

Wanyan Sali drank and gradually calmed down.

"Either forcefully attack Yanmen Pass, or withdraw troops and go south for supplies." Abuhan said, "Our army still has enough food and grass for one and a half months, so we need to leave some food and grass for the withdrawing troops to prevent unexpected situations, just in case. To be precise,

We only have half a month left."

"Du Tong, fight with the Song army! The Song army doesn't have much food!" Wulu seemed to want to divert Wanyan Salihe's anger towards him. He said this, "It's better to attack Daizhou now and capture Daizhou.

We have food."

"When we attack Daizhou, the Song army at Yanmen Pass will send troops to attack us. We can only attack Yanmen Pass. After taking Yanmen Pass, we can send troops south from Yunzhong." Abuhan said.

"Attack Daizhou! We must capture it within half a month!" Wanyan Sali shouted.

On the ninth day of June, the city of Yanjing was scorching like a furnace under the scorching sun.

This is when the Jurchens are at their weakest. They are afraid of heat, very afraid of heat.

You know, summer in Liaodong, especially in Shangjing, is very cool. As long as you don’t stand under the sun, you may even feel a little cold in the shade.

There is an artificial waterfall in Zongwang's Jinglue Mansion. The water flows gurglingly and sprays water mist, which lowers the surrounding temperature and refreshes the mind.

Zong Wang was half-lying on the bamboo chair, closing his eyes and relaxing.

Wanyan Jing said: "Father, a message came from Liaoyang, saying that our army's war situation in Goryeo has gradually stabilized. Xiyin and Ba Lisu have destroyed Xijing's logistics, but it seems that Song Army cavalry has appeared in Goryeo recently."

"Song Army cavalry? How many are there?"

"It's unclear at the moment. The battle report is rather vague."

"It seems that the Zhao Guan family spent a lot of money in order to conquer Goryeo!" Zong Wang sighed.

"The war situation in Goryeo should have entered a stable situation." Liu Yanzong added, "If the Song army cannot capture Goryeo, it will be impossible to establish a military town on the Yalu River."

"But we can't rely on the Koreans to influence the Song army in Fuzhou," Zong Wang said.

"But the Song Dynasty invested huge sums of money in Goryeo, and this war will probably make the Song Dynasty uncomfortable." Liu Yanzong said with a smile, "Within a few years, the Lord of the Song Dynasty should not think about fighting any more wars, he will definitely

Agree to Your Highness’s truce.”

As soon as he finished speaking, an orderly soldier hurried in from outside: "Report! Your Highness! An urgent report came from Hejian Mansion. The Song Army has crossed the Yellow River and attacked Hejian Mansion!"

"What!" Zong Wang stood up from the bamboo chair with a shocked look on his face.

On the other hand, the smile on Liu Yanzong's face also froze.

Before everyone could react, another messenger hurried in: "Report! Your Highness! An urgent report came from Zhongshan Mansion. The main force of the Song Army has invaded Zhongshan Mansion!"

"Song Jun is crazy!" Liu Yanzong shouted.

The shock on Zong Wang's face slowly melted away, and then he became calm, and he said: "It seems that this battle is inevitable."

"Your Highness, why don't you go to the Zhongshan Mansion to preside over the military affairs immediately?" Liu Yanzong said quickly after he came to his senses.

"Are you worried that after Zhongshu Ling finds out, he will go south to take control of the situation?" Zong Wang glanced at Liu Yanzong.

"After all, Zhongshu Ling's prestige is too high."

Liu Yanzong's words have clearly stated the power struggle between Zong Wang and Zong Han.

In terms of political talent, Zong Han was inferior to Zong Wang.

But in terms of military ability, Zong Wang was not as good as Zong Han.

Zongwang's territory is now in Yanyun. Although Wanyanchang is now doing things in a high-profile manner, at least Zongwang's followers are not yet convinced by Wanyanchang.

"Don't worry, let's see how the silver technique works."

Liu Yanzong stopped talking. He knew that Zong Wang was going to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight because Wanyan Yinshu was Zong Han's confidant.

At noon on the ninth day of June, in Shucheng, thirty miles north of Hejian City, there were very few people on the streets.

Because I heard recently that there was going to be a war, Shucheng closed its city gates tightly, and only merchants with government certificates were allowed to enter and transport military supplies, and the rest were not allowed to enter or exit at will.

The number of guards on the city has also increased significantly, and all local Turkish troops have also been recruited.

Wang Lian, the magistrate of Shucheng County, took people to the city gate to check. Wang Lian wiped his sweat. Being fat made him feel more uncomfortable than ordinary people in this weather.

At the foot of the city tower, Wang Lian got off the sedan and shouted at the group of peasants opposite who were carrying grain and grass: "Please work harder! You haven't eaten! They are a bunch of useless things!"

An officer of the Turkish army came over and said: "Wangzhi County, the Turkish army and militia have all been mobilized."

"Okay! You've done a great job!" Wang Lian stood there with his hands on his hips, gesticulating, "The Song dogs can't get in. Don't worry, everyone, Shucheng is now well-defended!"

The Turkish officer stood aside and felt very awkward listening to this, because Wang Lian was formerly the magistrate of Shucheng in the Song Dynasty and was a minister of Zhao Guan's family.

Now he talks like a Song dog, as if he has a superior status as a Jin man.

A dog barked from the street ahead.

Gusts of hot wind swept through the streets.

Just when Wang Lian was "personally commanding" below the tower, the people on the tower suddenly shouted: "Look!"

Everyone looked intently and saw a large group of people approaching in the distance.

Wang Lian hurriedly climbed up the tower. He was panting, wiped his sweat, and looked forward: "It's Song Dog who's coming!"

"No, they seem to be bandits in this area!" said the Turkish officer, "it's the big thief Liang Xing!"

"As long as it's not Song Gou." Wang Lian breathed a sigh of relief, but then he reacted and shouted, "Liang Xing is here!"

I saw a dense darkness outside the city. There must have been seven or eight thousand people.

Although they were not wearing armor, everyone had weapons, and there were even many archers.

In the Song Dynasty, apart from not being able to hide armor, people could hide whatever they wanted.

There are a lot of folk archers.

Not long after, Liang Xing led his people to the gate of Shucheng.

"Open the city!" A voice sounded outside the empty city gate, "Master Wang has gone north, it's time to expel the gold thieves and return my homeland!"
