Chapter 217 I am him(1/3)
Who is coming?
It is Wan Yankang, the young prince of the Zhao Palace of the Kingdom of Jin, who has not been seen for more than a year.
At the Iron Spear Temple in Jiaxing, Guo Mo revealed several pieces of information to him, which successfully diverted the trouble north and also obtained the promise of two hundred war horses.
It's not that Wanyankang is a petty person and wants to give up these two hundred war horses.
Rather, after he returned, he was really busy.
As soon as he returned to Zhongdu, he conspired with King Zhao Wanyan Honglie for a long time, and even entered the palace overnight to report the information Guo Mo had told the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom one by one.
At this time, Wanyan Xun, known as Jin Xuanzong in history, was still in power in the Great Jin Kingdom. In terms of seniority, he was Wanyan Honglie's cousin.
Wanyan Xun is almost sixty years old, and his health has never been good, and the Kingdom of Jin has completely declined in his hands.
Under the rule of the Jin Kingdom, there were many unstable areas, either leaning towards Mongolia or towards the Song Dynasty. The birthplace of the Jurchens had also been cut off from contact for many years.
When he heard the explanation from Wanyan Honglie and his son, he was not too surprised.
This emperor, who has been in power for many years, understands many things in his heart, but he is often too willing to do so.
"Sixth brother, the information you just provided is crucial. Mongolia's ambitions have been clearly revealed. You will need to share more of the future resistance against Mongolia."
Wanyan Xun glanced at Wanyan Kang next to him again.
"Kang'er is twenty years old, right? It's time to go out and do things. Go to Hebei Road and familiarize yourself with military affairs for a year and a half. I hope you can train an elite army of 30,000 people in Taiyuan Prefecture."
After saying that, he picked up a golden order arrow from the dragon writing desk, and wrote a letter of appointment on a blank imperial edict, and personally stamped it with the jade seal of the Kingdom of Jin.
"Let's name this army the 'Loyal and Brave Army'. I hope you can live up to the word 'Loyal and Brave'. Your father will have the sole authority to provide the necessary supplies."
"In the name of Prince Zhao's heir apparent, you can command General Ding Yuan in the army."
Good guy, all of a sudden, he has gone from a fourth-grade official position to a powerful general in charge of 30,000 troops.
On the border between Mongolia and Jin, Wanyan Xun would find someone to do the screening of the Jin's garrison generals, and the adjustment of Song policies and garrison, so there was no need for Wanyan Honglie and his son to worry about it.
Since then, Wanyan Honglie was busy with the defense of the north, while Wanyan Kang quietly entered Taiyuan Mansion.
In order to ensure the success of his son's military career, Wanyan Honglie spared no expense and sent several of his staff and capable generals.
In fact, the so-called "loyal and brave army" is still in its infancy. A group of troops are recruited from garrisons in various places, and civilians are recruited from the border.
At this time, Hebei Road was roughly equivalent to the central and southern part of Jin Province in later generations, bordering Xixia in the northwest, and crossing the Yellow River in the south was Henan Prefecture.
For more than a year, in addition to learning basic military affairs, Wanyankang focused more on the "Xuanming Divine Palm". The more he practiced, the more he felt that this method was not simple, and even had its own internal skills and mental methods.
.
Wan Yankang originally had a foundation in the "Quan Zhen Heart Technique" and had practiced the martial arts of the Quanzhen Sect for so many years. Later, by chance, he learned the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" from Mei Chaofeng.
Then practice the "Xuanming Divine Palm" in front of you. The martial arts of both good and evil schools can be practiced by him alone.
After more than a year of hard work, Wan Yankang's martial arts has grown visibly to the naked eye and has reached the first-class level.
In fact, Wan Yankang's own martial arts qualifications are excellent, but the martial arts taught by Quanzhen are easy to get started and difficult to master, and most of them are hard-earned skills that only take a certain amount of years to really take effect.
Mei Chaofeng's "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" has not been mastered to the right level by herself. Besides, is she the one who can teach her disciples?
This "Xuanming Divine Palm" is the most complete secret book of top martial arts that Wanyankang has obtained over the years.
The foundation has been laid over the past few years, and it’s time for rapid improvement.
Although he was in Taiyuan Mansion, Wan Yankang was not closed to the information in the world, especially the news that Ouyang Ke had been defeated repeatedly at the hands of Guo Jing and Guo Mo.
Wanyankang realized more clearly that he still had a long way to go in martial arts, and his whole person became inexplicably calm.
It's just that others don't know his whereabouts, and Wanyan Honglie also claimed that his son was in seclusion.
In addition to practicing the "Xuanming Divine Palm", he also went to the military to show his face from time to time.
Although the recruitment and training of the "loyal and brave army" were carried out by people sent by Wanyan Honglie, within just six months, the quota had been filled.
In terms of military supplies, with Zhao Wang Wanyan Honglie in the court, priority was naturally given to supply.
But Wanyankang also knew that the army still had to be more firmly in his own hands.
Occasionally I would go to the army to hone my riding and archery skills, and even compete with the proud soldiers in the army.
When he was studying martial arts, Wan Yankang also learned the "Yang Family Marksmanship" from "Changchunzi" Qiu Chuji.
Although it is just a popular product circulated in the world, it cannot be compared with the "Yang Family Marksmanship" passed down by Yang Tiexin's family.
However, in the hands of Wan Yankang, who is already a first-class player, there is really no opponent in the entire "loyal and brave army".
As the saying goes, "Money is more important than servants, and art is more important than ordinary people." Wan Yankang showed his skills from time to time, leaving a deep impression on the "loyal and brave army".
The sergeants of the Jin Kingdom, especially the middle and high-level ones, are from Jurchen origins and they also worship the strong.
After Wan Yankang defeated more than a dozen strong men in the army with a single gun, no one talked about the fact that he relied on having a good father to obtain a high position.
When the interest arose, Wanyankang even personally selected 500 capable and capable people from among the lower-level sergeants as his personal bodyguards.
No matter in terms of material supply, food, salary, or training intensity, these are the highest standards for the entire "loyal and brave army".
With a little show of skill, men with well-developed limbs and simple minds can be manipulated into submission.
Wan Yankang has undoubtedly been commendable for more than a year, but the overall situation of the Jin Kingdom has been declining day by day.
Even though they were prepared in advance, when the Mongolian army attacked Xixia, the Xia and Jin coalition forces, which had twice the strength of the opponent, were defeated even if they were in a defensive position.
In order to resist the powerful enemies in the north, most of the troops stationed on the Song and Jin border in the south were mobilized.
The Song Dynasty even repeatedly reduced and reduced the "yearly tax" in order to have a stable south and then be able to deal with the Mongols in the north wholeheartedly.
But at this time, there were actually some mentally retarded people among the top brass of the Jin Kingdom. They sent troops into the territory of the two lakes to cooperate with that boy Ouyang Ken to fight for the leader of the Beggar Clan?
In the end, Ouyang Ke was defeated perfectly under the dual protection of "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng and "Iron Palm Floating on Water" Qiu Qianren.
Together with the five thousand gold national cavalry, they were completely destroyed in the two lakes area.
This is not over yet. Over the past hundred years, people from the Jin Kingdom who have been accustomed to being uncles, how can they swallow this breath?
Twelve thousand infantry and cavalry were gathered again, but the result was still the destruction of the entire army.
On the contrary, they engaged in battles again and again, helping the Song Dynasty develop two powerful armies, the "Dunwu Army" and the "Jingnan Army". They even lost Dengzhou and Tangzhou one after another, and the entire Bianjing Road was in danger.
After the spring of this year, the Mongolian general Mu Huali suddenly sent 50,000 troops to attack the Jin Kingdom.
Like a devastating attack, in less than three months, it swept through places beyond the Great Wall of the Kingdom of Jin and reached Juyong Pass.
Wanyan Xun, who was old and frail, moved the capital directly to Bianliang City without saying a word.
As a result, the soldiers in the northern part of the Jin Kingdom were even less motivated to fight, and Juyongguan was also in a hurry.
This was already chaotic enough, but Wanyankang actually received news that a Mongolian and Jin coalition force of thousands of people was chasing a team of several hundred people from the desert.
This team of several hundred people was very powerful. They were surrounded and fought out repeatedly. The Mongolian and Jin coalition forces continued to lose troops and generals, and now they have fought all the way to the vicinity of the Taihang Mountains.
Wanyankang couldn't sit still anymore, now he was in his own jurisdiction.
Who is so ignorant that he would join forces with the Mongols at this juncture?
Repeatedly losing troops and generals means provoking someone who shouldn't be provoked. The enemies of the Mongols should have become friends of the Jin Kingdom. Isn't this seeking death?
Therefore, Wanyankang ignored the training of the "loyal and brave army" and rushed to the Taihang Mountains with 500 personal guards.
By the time Wan Yankang arrived in the Taihang Mountains, it was the second day after Guo Mo and the others had completely wiped out the Mongolian and Jin coalition forces.
Originally, the local Jin garrison assembled three thousand troops and wanted to kill all the hundreds of Guo Mo who had entered Huaizhou City, but they were stopped by Wanyan Kangshengsheng who arrived.
Because he already knew who arrived in Huaizhou City.
Guo Mo, the person who made him feel the most helpless and helpless...
It seems that ever since I saw this person, everything I did has been suppressed by him.
No matter how hard you practice martial arts, there seems to be no chance of catching up with your opponent.
I have been leading troops to fight for more than a year, and I have finally trained 30,000 decent "loyal and brave soldiers".
The other party is already the actual person in power of the "Dunwu Army", "Jingnan Army", and "Zhongshun Army".
This time, he almost single-handedly wiped out thousands of Mongolian and Jin coalition forces.
Wanyankang already knew that the idiot who cooperated with the Mongols was none other than Ouyang Ke.
They have known each other for many years. At first Wanyan Kang was envious of Ouyang Ke because he had a world-famous good uncle, "Western Poison" Ouyang Feng, who was a martial arts master!
Later, I discovered that this Brother Ke was quite capable in martial arts, but extremely lustful and had constant bad luck.
As long as Ouyang Ke is involved in something, it seems that it has never been successful?
He was always beaten to pieces by others. Fortunately, he had a good uncle, otherwise he would have died countless times.
Wanyankang waited patiently for two days, not because he didn't know how to deal with the matter in front of him, but because the piece of information he received was too shocking.
In the past two days, he sent his cronies to the south and crossed the Yellow River to confirm the news.
I just got the confirmation last night. I was shocked but also felt helpless.
No, he only brought six soldiers with him early in the morning. Taking the information, he entered Huaizhou City to ask for an audience with Guo Mo.
Unexpectedly, when they met, Guo Mo actually mentioned the promise he made back then, and couldn't help but blush. After all, he had broken the promise.
To be continued...
