Chapter 1723 The foothills of Zhongnan, the living dead
This general of the Xia Army was naturally the Jin who had been trained in martial arts by Xiao Tang. He later followed his father Li Yongqi to join the army, but fell into the hands of foreign invaders when the Jin army captured Yan'an Prefecture. He then fled with his family, but was caught up.
The pursuers of the army killed more than two hundred generals, including his father Li Yongqi, and had to lead 26 cavalry to flee westward to Li Shifu of Xia Kingdom.
At that time, the Xia Kingdom regretted the ceding of territory by the Jin army, and broke the contract by sending tens of thousands of troops to raid the promised land of the Xia Kingdom. Although the dispute between the two sides did not evolve into a large-scale war, Li Shifu seized the few limited opportunities to take the lead, and the Jin army was defeated repeatedly.
Hatred. Not only did Xia Guocha and other commanders of the army pay attention to it, but the military intelligence and battle reports were also scrutinized by Xiao Tang's rebel army who had been paying attention to the dispute between Jin and Xia.
At this point in the Xiao and Tang Dynasties, it was generally certain that Li Shifu, who was rich in family wealth and had no choice but to defect to the Xia Kingdom, became famous on the battlefield and his abilities improved by leaps and bounds. In fact, in the official history, Li Shifu obtained the title of "Li Shifu" from the Jin Dynasty, to the Xia Dynasty, and then to the Song Dynasty.
Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, granted him the title and defeated the Jin army's southern invasion several times. Yue Fei died. Wan Yanliang, King of Jin Hailing, broke the treaty and went south in large numbers. He was ordered to cross the river and presided over the war. He successfully recovered a large area of junzhou in Huaixi and was promoted to a military officer.
As a Taiwei, he had always been good at riding and breaking through battles during his entire life. Wanyan Wushu, who taught him the art of martial arts, was also in awe of Li Xianzhong, a famous anti-Jin general who said, "This man is brave, so we should avoid him."
Having roughly traced Li Shifu's whereabouts, it would not be as difficult to contact him secretly before and after his mission as finding a needle in a haystack. What's more, although Li Shifu had no choice but to flee west to temporarily join the Xia Kingdom, he had been trying to gain access to Xiao Tang's side.
Contact. Both sides were eager to see each other, and when Li Shifu's Xia army returned to Xingqing Mansion, they secretly discussed with each other about the status of generals who were able to take turns escorting the envoys. This was a smooth process.
After listening to Li Shifu's urgent question, Xu Guanzhong also replied: "Now the situation in Guanxi and Longyou is becoming more and more chaotic. I originally expected that Xia Guozhemo would not help each other and just sit back and watch, but this will also miss the point."
A good opportunity to make progress. It seems that the leader of the Xia Kingdom is indeed unwilling to succumb to the Jinlu. It is already confirmed that he is temporarily willing to reach a consensus with Brother Xiao Tang. The next secret discussion is nothing more than asking for high prices and sitting on the ground to pay back the money. Brother Xiao Tang also
Fully entrusted to me...
It's just that brother Li Shifu, you had met with the brother who had gone to report the news, and you had to deal with it. Fortunately, you were able to have such a secret meeting with you now. And you defected to Xia as a general of the Song Army who was unwilling to pay for money.
Brother Cha and other generals of the Xia Kingdom don't know about the old friendship between you and Brother Xiaotang, so they have to wrong you to hide in the Xia Kingdom for a period of time. As for how to communicate with each other in the future, Brother Lehe will also tell you.
It’s clear.”
Seeing this, Li Shifu nodded repeatedly and said: "Of course I understand this. Although I always think about returning to Song Dynasty and joining Brother Xiaotang's army to kill the Tatars, judging from the current situation, if I escape like this, I will teach him again."
Xia Guo knew where I was going to go, but Zhemo wanted to ruin my brother's important task of using the army to control the captives. Besides, if I left at this time, I could only gather some soldiers and horses to go to my brother.
In the Xia Dynasty, there was a dispute between the Jin and Jin armies. In order to kill the golden dog to vent his great hatred, he rushed into the formation alone and captured and killed the Jurchen Tatar general who had harassed the Xia army for a long time. Later, he fought to the death and made several military exploits.
Fortunately, Cha Ge, the king of Jin Dynasty of Xia Kingdom, thinks highly of me and is about to entrust me with an important task..."
Just as he was talking, Li Shifu thought of his father Li Yongqi and his entire family of more than 200 people who had been killed by the Jin people. His heart was full of hatred, and he gritted his teeth and hissed: "I surrendered to the Xia Kingdom at that time just for the sake of my country."
The situation is overwhelming, but I can kill more Golden Dog Tatars, so I will do whatever I want. Everything is arranged by my elder brother! And even though Brother Cha, the King of Tibet, treats me with respect, he only knows that I am a Song Army soldier.
The defeated general, but unwilling to surrender to the Golden Dog even if he swore to death, should be able to be used by his Xia Kingdom. But Brother Cha would never know that in the past, my father was supported by Brother Xiao Tang to join the army in the Western Expedition, and he also fought against the Xia army
, and had it not been for brother Xiao Tang and the other soldiers who risked their lives to fight, my father would have been captured for a moment, and he would have almost died under the butcher knife of the Tibetan king! Party Xiang Xirong is also a foreign invader. No matter how big his official position is here, he will never die.
How can this be a place where I am willing to settle down and live my life?”
Based on the relationship between Li Shifu and his son and Xiao Tang, Xu Guanzhong knew that he was grateful for his brother's kindness and should sincerely assist in important matters. He also told Li Shifu to be calm and calm and not to show off his feet.
Li Shifu only had a secret discussion with Lehe for about half a cup of tea, which aroused suspicion, so Li Shifu said goodbye for the time being and left the post house. As for Xu Guanzhong, Chai Jin was also preparing to discuss with Xia the timing of sending troops, the division of territory and other matters.
The country launched secret negotiations, and in any case, Li Qianshun, the leader of the Xia Kingdom, now decided to conceal the Jurchen envoys who came to order to assist the Jin army, and instead secretly reached an agreement with Xiao and Tang forces, which is almost a foregone conclusion...
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※
At the same time, Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Loushi mobilized their troops to assemble, and the sentinels and horses sent earlier also joined Xiao Tang in advancing into Kansai.
They met on a narrow road in the countryside of Lantian County at the eastern foot of Zhongnan Mountain. During the encounter, the two sides had no time to properly mobilize their troops and deploy appropriate tactics. On a slope with mostly sparse trees at the foot of the mountain, the two sides were already fighting each other as soon as they glanced at each other's movements.
Seeing this, they were extremely jealous. They first fired arrows at each other, trying to contain and injure the enemy troops for a while. Then the cavalry from both sides suddenly rode out and surged forward. They saw that they were about to come face to face with each other.
Until the muffled sounds of people turning on their backs were heard frequently, and the cold light of the shining snow swords suddenly dazzled, passing directly from the necks, waists and ribs of the Jurchen knights in the front formation, and blood suddenly shot out from the body cavity, even if there were four or five heads
He fell heavily from his horse.
The leader of the rebel army who spurred his horse and brandished his sword while fighting hard to kill the enemy, shouted loudly: "My brother led the rebel army to the west, and you golden dog Tatars are waiting to die! Previously, I, Shi Jin, was serving my brother.
The commander-in-chief is guarding the east of the river, but he missed a few battle formations and was holding back all his strength with nowhere to go. Now he is looking for you, the Tartars who have caused harm to the people of the Central Plains, and killed him smoothly!"
He was originally from Huazhou on the Yongxing Military Road, but now he has returned to his homeland to rule the territory. Jiuwenlong Shi Dalang is full of fighting spirit, and his roars overshadow the killing sounds and echo in the foothills, surrounding him.
The officers and soldiers of the Panlong Army who were struggling to follow also broke out with shouts of killing at the top of their lungs. However, due to their fierce blood, the Jin Army continued to rush forward to kill and urge their horses to rush forward. Both sides were slashing and slashing, and there were many enemies on each other.
The knights fell off their horses one after another. But Shi Jin still urged his horse to rush forward, and danced with all his strength with the three-pointed two-edged sword in his hand. The blade was long, and the two-sided blade tore open the air and slashed out.
When they touched each other, the fragments of armor leaves mixed with blood immediately flew everywhere. With Shi Jin's fierce and domineering sword moves, he was in the front line and killed the surrounding Jin army in a short time.
Gain the upper hand.
However, on the mountain ridge that winds like a snake high up here, there is a small group of infantry soldiers crawling in the grass, watching the fight between the Jin Army's light cavalry horses and Shi Jin's Panlong Army below. One of the men looked directly at
He was so jealous that he immediately turned to Qing Zhuangji beside him and said loudly: "Zemo, is it really Xiao Renxia who led his army to kill the Tatars? Mr. Wang, at the beginning you said you were sad for the fall of the motherland and pitied the nation's decline.
, although we are alive and dead, we live like a living dead, and we, brothers, are willing to do what you do. I only hate that the Song Dynasty is weak and abandons us, the people of the Song Dynasty in Guanxi, even if we are willing to sacrifice our lives and property just to fight against the Jin Dynasty.
For a while, I’m afraid it won’t last long, but now if Xiao Renxia really leads the rebel army, what will we do? It’s all up to you to make up your mind!”
