Ever since the day of the rebellion, Brother Yeluliu has had a hard time.
He was not of high origin, and although he had the surname Yelu, he was not a Khitan chief with a large clan. He was able to rise up in the chaos of the third year of Da'an only because the Khitan forces valued his military experience.
Daliao, which once controlled millions of people and had a base of thousands of miles, now has to rely on the military experience of a Jin army to defend thousands of households, which is a bit sad in itself. This proves that the once most powerful clan in northern Xinjiang has become extremely weak.
They are comparable to the decadent Jurchens.
What's even more frightening is that even if hundreds of thousands of Khitan men, women, old and weak rioted together, after nearly two years of fighting, the newly-established Liao Kingdom was still cramped in the small Guangning Mansion, under the threat of the Jin army from three sides.
It seems majestic, but in fact it is precarious.
Brother Yelvliu was very afraid of the collapse of the Liao Kingdom, and even more afraid of being abandoned by the Khitans. So he tried to please the Mongols at all costs, hoping to get some support from the new overlord of the grassland.
But it is not without cost. To be a Mongolian dog, you have to listen to the Mongolians and bite according to the Mongolian requirements. If you are hungry, you can only wait for the Mongolians to drop a few dogs on your legs.
Belly bones.
And when Brother Yeluliu heard from Muhuali that the Mongols were dissatisfied with the Khitan's results and tried to support new agents in the northeast, he almost despaired of seeing the end of the Liao Kingdom.
Is it necessary for the Liao Kingdom, which can only wave its flag and shout, to exist?
Fortunately, the transfer came quickly and was so fun.
Pu Xianwannu, who was favored by the Mongols, did not like the Mongols. Pu Xianwannu gave the Mongols a little sweetness, and then tried to get rid of the Mongols and use his own means to unify the Northeast.
This is no longer a provocation. Pu Xianwannu's behavior is like a prodigal throwing away a once tender and affectionate woman. It can be said to be a humiliation. The Mongolian Wanhu Muhuali who is currently in charge of the Northeast War is in
How could the noble people around Genghis Khan who could talk to him allow Pu Xianwannu to be so arrogant?
Compared with the ambitious Pu Xianwannu, Brother Yeluliu seemed so loyal and reliable. General Muhuali quickly sent someone to give Brother Yeluliu a new task. And this task simply made him dream.
Everyone laughed out loud.
Is the goal Pu Xian Wan Nu? This is too easy and so comfortable.
In Brother Yeluliu's opinion, Pu Xianwannu and his old boss Wanyan Chengyu are the strongest among the leaders of the Jin army in the northeastern hinterland, but they are the least experienced in fighting. Without the assistance of many allies in the northeastern hinterland
, Pu Xianwannu died long ago in the hands of the Khitans.
Now he has fallen out with his Jurchen allies and offended the Mongols... How stupid is this? He is clearly seeking death!
Such a fool deserves to die in the hands of my brother Yeluliu, and I, brother Yeluliu, just take this opportunity to expand my power!
"Speed up the march! Get ready to meet the enemy! Yelu Si is not on the left, Yelu Annu is on the right, and Seng Jia Nu and Tong Gu are both in the vanguard!" Brother Yeluliu shouted repeatedly.
His subordinates marched for a whole day and night. Looking from a distance, they still felt that they were very powerful. In fact, the formation was inevitably chaotic. Yeluliu Ge issued several military orders in succession. The soldiers were noisy and crowded, and the troops and horses were leading to the hills to the north.
The road was jammed with traffic from time to time.
Fortunately, after several years of fighting, Brother Yelvliu finally trained a group of experienced officers. The officers galloped on the meadows and slopes while shouting at the whole team. As the team gradually penetrated into the Huangdi area north of Xianpyeong Prefecture,
In the Longgang hilly area, nearly 20,000 Khitan elites finally lined up in a wide front.
Yelu Sibu, Yelu Annu and other generals are all famous warriors. Not to mention the distance, during the battle of Diji Naoer that day, Yelu Anu rampaged through the enemy army, killing the Jin army with corpses like mountains, and pursued them for dozens of miles.
, they forced the Jin army commanders Wanyan Chengyu and Pu Xianwannu to not look at each other, and the troops fled in two directions.
At this time, a group of brave generals personally led the headquarters and rushed through the rolling hills. The soldiers were soon aroused to fight. Looking from a distance, the army looked like huge black pythons, rustling through the mountains.
Sometimes it appears and sometimes disappears.
On Xianping City, Guo Ning led his men from the south, west, and all the way around to the north of the city, watching the actions of the Khitan army.
Finally, he stood in the north of the city and sighed.
The situation in front of us is actually a bit ridiculous. How come I, Guo Liulang of Changzhou, a real rebel, took a Jurchen general like He Shi Liehuanduan to the mainland of Liaohai to deal with Pu Xianwan, who is also a rebel?
Where are you and Brother Yelvliu?
Thinking about it again, the same thing happened over at Laizhou Base. Our own civil and military personnel did not take the Jin Army seriously at all. On the contrary, they were more wary of the "Emperor of the Han Dynasty" Yang An'er.
Perhaps this is the so-called sign of the end of the world. The Kingdom of Jin itself is really weak. Therefore, Guo Ning is not in a hurry to deal with Dajin itself. Instead, he is busy building up strength for his own country under the existing structure of Dajin.
Try to fight against the real enemy.
Presumably, the careerists all thought this way. As a result, when they each grabbed their own interests and expanded their power, they became enemies of each other.
But Guo Ning also vaguely remembered that in his big dream, it seemed that the Jurchens had persisted for a long time under the Mongolian offensive and fought several beautiful battles... How did the Jurchens fight back? After Tu Shanyi left,
The Kingdom of Jin actually had capable ministers to renew its life? Unfortunately, I can’t remember the details at all.
Zhang Qian heard Guo Ning sigh and came up and asked: "Jie Shuai, what's wrong?"
Guo Ning shook his head and focused his thoughts on the battle in front of him.
"Our troops are limited after all. If we want to go to the table to eat meat, or even overturn the table to cause trouble... we have to be bold but also cautious. Now the fat meat has grown legs of its own and is running in front of us. The first eater is also eager to eat meat.
Here we come. This is a good thing, it saves us a lot of time. But what about the second and third diners? The later diners are, the more difficult it is to deal with them. Where are they waiting with their knives and chopsticks?"
Zhao Jue bowed and said, "I don't know yet."
"Then send more scouts! Go around Huanglonggang in the north and head towards Hanzhou. As for the west... send a few teams of capable people, each with two horses, to rush to Guangning Mansion to have a look!"
"Yes!" Zhao Jue immediately turned around and went down to make arrangements.
At this time, the only general who accompanied Guo Ning to visit was Zhang Qian. Even Li Ting returned to his headquarters, urging the soldiers to seize the time to organize.
In Xianping Mansion, several arsenals that Pu Xianwannu regarded as treasures were all opened, and the fine weapons and sturdy armor he had accumulated over the years were distributed to the soldiers.
Heshi Liehuanduan personally traveled to several military camps to encourage his subordinates. He used Pu Xianwan Nu's money to award military pay to everyone and promised them heavy rewards.
Mobilization is also taking place in several military camps where the navy is stationed.
However, unlike the Fuzhou soldiers who were shouting and screaming and excited by the rewards, the Dinghai navy soldiers were mostly calm.
They are all veterans who have experienced several battles. They are accustomed to danger, accustomed to getting what they deserve after victory, and even more accustomed to trusting their coach. They have also known for a long time that after taking Xianpingfu before,
It's just a warm-up. In today's world, if you want to grab something, you have to compete with serious enemies.
Beneath the surface calm, the solemn murderous aura of the soldiers could not be concealed.
This special smell alarmed all the birds in the city. A thrush that was resting under the eaves suddenly fluttered its wings, passed through the layers of buildings and city walls, and then fell down slightly, along the steep mountains in the north.
Here, the rising air current glides.
If you continue northward from the height of the thrush, just in front of the Khitan army, more than ten miles away, the mountains here gradually change from gentle to steep, and there are dense forests everywhere on the mountains. Between the mountains, there are
The rivers are murmuring and weeds are growing everywhere.
On the opposite side of the most turbulent river, the main force of Pu Xianwannu's headquarters was crossing the river with their horses neighing.
The change of hands in Xianping Mansion could not be concealed from Brother Yeluliu, but not from Pu Xianwannu. After all, it was his base that he had been operating for many years, and there were always some channels for urgent information transmission.
Yesterday, Pu Xianwannu had contacted Wanyan Taiping, the provincial governor of Shangjing, and planned to capture Wanyan Chengchong, the marshal left behind in Shangjing, and then force the generals to surrender. But just when the plan was about to be carried out, he heard that the Xianping Mansion was lost and fell.
It fell into the hands of Shi Liehuanduan, the commander-in-chief of Fuzhou, and Guo Ning, the governor of Dinghai Navy.
Pu Xian Wan Nu was so shocked that he immediately cursed in his tent. He scolded He Shi Liehuanduan, then Guo Ning, Guo Ning, and then his adopted son Pu Xian Yinchou and others. After scolding Pu
Xian was released, and the adopted son beside him was identified, and all the generals scolded him bloody.
Finally, he made up his mind and immediately led his troops to retreat. As a result, Wanyan was halfway through responding to his request for peace, and his traces were revealed, and he was killed by the angry general who went to Beijing.
Pu Xianwannu could not care about the life and death of his allies. He rushed his troops and marched more than seventy miles in just one day and one night, determined to recapture Xianping Mansion.
At this time, he stood on the reef beach on the river bank and looked uneasily to the south. Because he was looking too intently, he opened his mouth slightly and stared straight in the direction of Xianping Mansion without blinking. He seemed to see
What.
In fact, he saw nothing except the rolling mountains. When he looked away, he noticed a Jin Army corpse swollen by water under the reef.
It turns out that a few days ago, Pu Xianwannu allowed the Mongolian army to rob and kill the Jin army's Northeast Recruiting Envoy Wanyan Tiege's headquarters. This place was the battlefield.
Pu Xianwannu was startled by the corpse. He subconsciously pulled out half of his waist knife and quickly put it back into its sheath.
The generals who were accompanying him also looked at him, some were on tiptoes, and some were so nervous that they were sweating profusely.
Someone scolded: "How dare Heshi Liehuan Duan'an do this! He raised troops to attack his superiors without authorization, and completely ignored the laws of the court! We are going to write a letter to the court, refer to him in the first chapter, and demote his official position!"
Some people also shouted: "When we recapture Xianping Mansion, we have to attract the Mongolian army to pacify the state first and take revenge!"
