Chapter 587 A small gathering of famous generals from the Kingdom of Jin

"Holy shit, it's so fierce, the first one is Alexander." Wang Yu said in shock.

Alexander, an outstanding military strategist and statesman in ancient world history, was the first of the four major military commanders in Western history.

Not only that, when Alexander was a boy, he studied under Aristotle, the ancient Greek scholar at that time, and he was definitely not a brash guy who could only show off his muscles.

At the age of sixteen, he ruled Macedonia on his father's behalf.

When he was twenty years old, his father Philip II was assassinated. Alexander immediately succeeded to the throne. Facing internal and external difficulties, he relied on his own ability to quickly quell the internal turmoil in the palace and defeated various opposition forces.

Not only that, it only took less than a year from the time he ascended the throne to defeating all opposition forces, and he unified all of Greece in an instant.

After suppressing the civil strife and unifying Greece, Alexander did not immediately launch a war. Instead, he waited for a year to recuperate and then led his army to invade eastward in the following year, 334 BC.

After that, Alexander successively defeated the Persian Imperial Army in the Battle of Granicus River, the Battle of Issus and the Battle of Gaugamela, swept across Asia Minor, the Middle East and the Iranian Plateau, and occupied the entire Egypt without spending a single soldier.

The whole territory.

Annexed the Persian Empire in 330 BC.

In 329 BC, he moved to Central Asia.

In 327 BC, he continued his southern expedition to India.

Until he withdrew westward in 324 BC, Alexander conquered about five million square kilometers of territory in thirteen years, without suffering one defeat.

Under his iron-blooded hand, his force established a large empire that stretched from Greece and Macedonia in the west, to the Indus River Basin in the east, to the first waterfall of the Nile in the south, and to the Syr Darya River in the north.

At this point, Macedonia became the largest country in the world in terms of territory at that time.

Perhaps out of jealousy of his talents, Alexander died of illness in Babylon at the age of 33. After his death, the Macedonian Empire quickly fell apart due to power struggles.

But in any case, through Alexander's military conquests, ancient Greek civilization spread widely and prospered. Eastern and Western cultures and economies conducted close exchanges, ushering in the Hellenistic era.

At the same time, he encouraged intermarriage between ethnic groups and advocated equality of status among ethnic groups, which had a significant impact on the development of human society and culture.

As a recognized military genius in world history, he himself has become one of the most influential figures in human history.

It can be said that he was invincible in life and mourned and honored after death!

If Wang Yu remembers correctly, the Roman emperor at this time was the famous Roman philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius and his biological son Commodus.

Although his father was very powerful, this guy's ability was not even one-third of his father's. During his twelve years in power, he was generally unpopular with the Senate and the people.

The contemporary historian Cassius Dio regarded it as another example of a tyrant and ended the prosperity of the past era of the Five Wise Kings of the Empire.

His succession paved the way for the crisis of the third century in ancient Europe. After Commodus was assassinated in 192 AD, the Roman Empire once again fell into a series of chaotic civil wars.

I'm afraid that with such an arrangement, Zha Zha might not be Alexander's opponent. However, due to the limited information provided by the system, Wang Yu couldn't guess what was going on with Alexander for a while.

The first one to appear is the big boss!

I don’t know which big boss this second one is!

[Dingdong, the second person to check and balance, the famous general of the Jin Kingdom, He Shilie Zhining, commander: 96, force: 99, intelligence: 82, politics: 90, charm: 82;

Implanted identity: Wanyan Aguda’s son-in-law, the genius of the Nüzhen Heshi tribe, now follows Wanyan Wu Qibiao to fight;

There are 16 people carrying them, namely: Wang Bolong, Tu Dankening, Hu Shahu, Shuhu Gaoqi, Tu Danyi, Pufeng, Bai Yanjing, Yelu Wangxiang, Wanyanyong, Wanyanjing, Wanyan Zongxian, Wanyantu Hesu

, Wan Yanxiang, He Shi Lie Sa Ba, moved to assassinate Wo We, and scattered the loyal and righteous servants;]

"Drink, the first one is the West, and the second one is the Jurchens."

Speaking of the famous generals of the Jin Dynasty, people will probably think of the fourth prince Jin Wushu. Although he was defeated many times by Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and other Song generals, he became the experience package for these opponents to be promoted to nobility.

But it has to be said that at that time, against the background of many famous founding generals of the Jin Dynasty, such as Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Yinshuke and others, who were dying and getting old, he could be regarded as the third general of the Jin Dynasty at that time.

A general.

However, many people don't know that after Jin Wushu, another top general appeared in the Jin Dynasty. He was not only Jin Wushu's son-in-law, but also became a nightmare for the Southern Song Dynasty army!

With only 10,000 elite soldiers, this man easily defeated the 80,000 Northern Expedition Army of the Southern Song Dynasty, shattering Song Xiaozong's dream of a Northern Expedition to the Central Plains in one fell swoop. This man was He Shilie Zhining.

He Shiliezhining was born in the Heshilie tribe, and his original name was Sahe Nian. Starting from the sixth generation ancestor of Heshiliezhining, the Heshilie family intermarried with the Wanyan family of the Jin Dynasty royal family for generations.

In his youth, Heshi Liezhining did not participate in the war against the Southern Song Dynasty, but he was "Shen Yi and has a broad strategy" and showed an unusual temperament, which was appreciated by Liang Wang Wanyan Zongbi (i.e. Jin Wushu).

Later, Jin Wushu married his daughter, the head of Yong'an County, to Heshi Liezhining.

Wanyan Zongbi had many daughters, and naturally many sons-in-law, but his favorite was undoubtedly Heshi Liezhining.

When Jin Xizong was in power, Heshi Liezhining served as a bodyguard.

After Hailing King Wanyan Liang came to the throne, he was put into important positions and successively served as Minister of the Ministry of War, Zuo Xuanhui Envoy, Dudian Inspector, Deputy Privy Envoy, Kaifeng Yin and other important positions.

In 1160 AD, Wanyan Liang mobilized the national army to prepare for a crusade against the Southern Song Dynasty, which resulted in an uprising among the Khitans.

Heshi Liezhining began to lead the army on the expedition, and successively defeated the Khitan army at Linhe, Huadao, Niaoling, and Qidaohe. He bribed the Khitan generals to live in a small camp, and allowed them to capture the Khitan leader Yi Lawowo alive.

After this battle, Jin Shizong dispatched Pu San Zhongyi and He Shilie Zhining to lead heavy troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. He Shilie Zhining defeated the Song army in the battle of Suzhou. Song general Li Shifu was defeated and retreated to Fuli. The Song army suffered heavy losses.

So he sent envoys to ask for peace.

The people of Song Dynasty failed to negotiate a peace and their loyalty was dispersed. Heshi Liezhining once again sent troops to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and forced the Southern Song Dynasty to submit. The Jin army crossed the Huaihe River and captured Xuyi and Hao, Lu, He, Chu and other prefectures, forcing the Southern Song Dynasty to send Wei Qi to sue for peace.

The Southern Song Dynasty became Jin's nephew state and paid Jin every year 200,000 taels of silver and silk each year.

In this life, Heshi Liezhining was no longer the son-in-law of Jin Wushu, but became the son-in-law of Wanyan Aguda, and the people he brought with him this time were all talents from the middle period of the Jin Kingdom.

I just don’t know how many people will participate in this battle of the Hetao.

After all, these people are all mobile summoning cards. Isn't this what Wang Yu summoned this time?
