Chapter 714 Letters from three places, Jurchen founds the country
At the critical moment, there is only a thin line between victory and defeat. Although Shi Xiuhan's fearless fighting style caught Lu Zhen off guard, he was able to barely block it with his stick, but the injury to his left arm made his moves slightly weak.
Delay. The two of them were facing each other head-on. Even if they stepped sideways to avoid it, they couldn't catch up.
Shi Xiu's sword left no room for any chance. Just when the wrought copper rod was about to hit his skull to pieces, he suddenly raised the narrow-edged steel knife in his hand. He only got the chance in the blink of an eye and was already dead.
Cut off Lu Zhen's right hand holding the stick at the wrist level!
With a muffled sound of "clang", the nine-section wrought copper stick fell to the ground. Lu Zhen also grabbed his wrist tightly and fell to the ground rolling around howling miserably. Shi Xiu, who almost had his head crushed by the stick, still had a smile on his face.
With murderous intent, he walked towards Lu Zhen step by step.
Nearly half of the thieves in Evil Tiger Village had been killed by the army, and most of the remaining thieves had thrown away their weapons and shouted for mercy. Lu Zhen, who was in severe pain, now knew that he could not escape, and saw that man again
The ruthless man, who had always regarded fighting desperately as his daily routine, walked towards him with a steel knife. Every drop on the sharp tip of the knife was his own blood. Lu Zhen, who had lost all fighting spirit, quickly howled miserably: "Hero, spare your life!"
I surrender!"
"You, this thief, are already disabled, and there are already several thief leaders who want to question you. What's the use of taking you back?"
Shi Xiu smiled coldly, and then said in a dark voice: "What's more, you are an unscrupulous thief who has done many evil things in the surrounding area and attracted the resentment of all people. We have already found out all about this, and now we still hope to keep you like this.
A dog’s life?”
Before Shi Xiu could say a word, he rushed in front of Lu Zhen like a gust of wind. He rolled up the narrow-edged steel knife in his hand, and the knife was as straight as a sword. Before Lu Zhen could scream, Shi Xiu raised the knife and chopped it into pieces.
Two pieces!
After all, Shi Xiu is not an official. Now he is fighting with murderous intent. He secretly said that if he takes this thief back to hear the trial, it will be just a waste of food. It would be more convenient to simply kill him here.
Jun Jian, who had just restrained the thieves in the stronghold, was dumbfounded when he saw Shi Xiu's murderous appearance, and did not step forward to dissuade him.
And Shi Xiu sheathed the sword again, picked up the Mo Dao again, looked towards the Qin Commander of the Western Army, and said: "Have the thieves in the stronghold been restrained? You must return to my brother earlier.
, there are still three or four strongmen who obey Tian Hu's orders in the north, they must be eradicated as soon as possible, lest the bandits get the news and abandon the stronghold and flee, otherwise the encirclement and suppression will take a lot of time."
Commander Qin looked at Shi Xiu blankly for a moment, then suddenly raised his thumb and praised: "What a skill! What courage! What a man! In the past, our Western Army fought bravely, and we did not defeat the imperial troops of other state military departments."
It’s obvious to me, but you’re such an extravagant man, if you want to gain a good status in the side court, you will definitely be reused by the official!”
Shi Xiu smiled slightly, put the still-blood-stained Mo Dao on his shoulder, and said leisurely: "Thanks to the commander for being so considerate, but I am used to being wanton and happy, and I cannot stand the constraints of the military. I still obey orders in front of my brother's tent.
, I feel happy. Besides, brother Xiao Tang has many capable people and strangers under his command, so my little ability is nothing."
※
After the evil tiger stronghold in Longjiao Mountain, Jinzhou was wiped out in one fell swoop, Xiao Tang and Yao Pingzhong each ordered their troops to cooperate. Taking advantage of the fact that the strongmen from Junzhou in the south of Hedong Road who planned to join Tian Hu to commit evil were not gathered together, they were killed by the army.
Defeat each one.
In order to get a light sentence and avoid death, Fang Xuedu, who was originally focused on helping Tian Hu to cause trouble, spared no effort to reveal the hiding places of the bandits. He even personally led the officers and soldiers to pretend to be the bandits summoned by his subordinates and falsely opened the gate of the village, allowing the officers and soldiers to suddenly rush in.
The generals in the stronghold either captured or killed the thieves. They repeated their old tricks, but they worked well. This happened again and again. Most of the strongmen in Jin, Gai and other military states who obeyed Tian Hu's orders were killed one by one by Xiao Tang and Yao Pingzhong.
Break.
The strength of the bandits in the south of Hedong Road has been greatly reduced. Next, the government troops should put pressure on the bandits in Longde Mansion, Fenzhou and even the Qinyuan area where Tian Hu's Weisheng Army first started to rebel, and then advance northward.
The territory he has available for his troops and horses is getting narrower and narrower. How long can Tian Hu be rampant?
When Xiao Tang and Yao Pingzhong returned to Tongdan County of Wei Shengjun, some incidents occurred.
Xu Guanzhong, who is currently following Xiao Tang and waiting for opportunities to make suggestions, returned to his residence and saw a trusted aide sent by Yan Qing from Xiao Mansion in Bianjing arriving with a letter and had been waiting in the county for several days. He is still there
Xiao Tang, who was ordered to control the east of Hedong, could only receive letters from various places through his own residence in Bianjing, Geliao, so that he could learn about the developments happening in various places in a timely manner.
In order to prevent the lieutenant generals from spying on some clues, Xu Guanzhong found a secluded place and opened the documents one by one sent from Baozhou in Liaodong, Erlongshan in Qingzhou, and Xiaojiaji in Damingfu to Bianliang in Tokyo.
letter.
Among them, the news coming from Baozhou is that the alliance of Sheng Jurchen tribes successively captured Binzhou and Xianzhou, and Aguda was supported by his brother Wu Qimai, Wanyan Sagai, and other leaders.
Preparing for the founding of the Yuan Dynasty, the country will be named Dajin, and plans to officially enthrone Aguda as the emperor the next year. Currently, more Jurchen tribes and Liaodong tribes are being called upon to come and join the army. After hearing this, the Liao court has also assembled a large army, together with the current leader Yelu Chun.
Commander, the number of officers and soldiers sent to suppress the rebellion in Liaodong has exceeded 100,000, and they are preparing to go to conquer the growing Jurchen Alliance.
As expected by my brother, the Jurchens are fierce and good at fighting. Wanyan Aguda is truly worthy of being a hero of his generation. He was able to defeat many with fewer people many times. Now he has completely broken with the Liao Dynasty... But although the Jurchens are fierce and fierce,
, the current number of soldiers and horses is only a few thousand, can it really compete with the Liao Dynasty, which has hundreds of thousands of troops?
Xu Guanzhong thought in his mind, and then he thought again: However, the situation in Liaodong seems to be turbulent for a long time. Baozhou, Pidao and other places are relatively peaceful. Even in the remote and important towns such as Dingzhou and Xuanzhou, Junzhou, and then
Taking advantage of the increasingly chaotic situation in Liaodong to accommodate the refugees... At present, the Liao officials and soldiers are only focused on suppressing the Jurchen tribes, so there is no need to worry about arousing the vigilance of the Liao Dynasty.
While thinking about it, Xu Guanzhong opened the second letter. In addition to mentioning that the internal operations of the mountain village are going smoothly now, Xu Guanzhong also mentioned that since the official army of the various states on Jingdong Road was defeated last time, no military commanders from all over Jingdong Road dared to take it.
Apart from looking at the two mountains of Qingzhou, he also mentioned an innocuous thing.
Wang Lun, the former leader of Liangshan Dazhai, a scholar in white, went to join the stronghold, but was driven down the mountain by Lu Zhishen, who was in charge of the stronghold.
Wang Lun, who was not eliminated by Lin Chonghuo, was expelled from Liangshan by Chao Gai, who occupied the magpie nest, and had to wander around. He did not have the slightest ability, was narrow-minded, and could not tolerate others, and his reputation was in Hebei and Shandong.
It has long been stinky. Regardless of whether they are good or bad, most of the green forest thieves consider themselves to be forthright and happy, and have great loyalty to the world. However, Wang Lun was born as a rotten scholar, and he and most of the green forest thieves did not agree with each other and had different temperaments. So where is the copycat?
Are you willing to take in a person like this who can't do anything but is selfish and narrow-minded?
Wang Lun originally thought that he had finally become the leader of a stronghold. If he could join the green forest forces in Shandong and even the Song Dynasty, Erlong Mountain was one of the best in terms of the number of leaders and the strength of soldiers and horses, even if he could only be a showoff. The little boss could enjoy the shade under the big tree, but Lu Zhishen, who had a strong and fiery temperament, didn't like Wang Lun's bird-like appearance, and didn't show any kindness to him. He just cursed and kicked the guy out of Erlong Mountain. Xu Guanzhong was too lazy to think about this matter. What kind of trouble could an out-and-out clown cause?
But when Xu Guanzhong opened the letter sent from Xiaojiaji, Daming Prefecture, and only read a few lines roughly, his beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but frown, and he murmured: "The Flying Tiger Regiment of Dulonggang, Yunzhou Cheng? Hujiazhuang? Zhujiazhuang?"
