Chapter five hundred and fortieth people who subjugate their country are not as good as pigs and dog
Outside Yunzhou City, in Yao Pingzhong's camp, smoke curled up from the generals' tents, and the statues of the Three Pure Ones had kind brows and kind eyes.
Yao Pingzhong burned three sticks of incense in front of the statue and inserted it respectfully. When he turned his head, all the piety and solemnity on his face was gone, and his face was already filled with murderous intent.
Recently, the first man in the Western Army, Lieutenant Yao Pingzhong, became obsessed with Taoism. I don’t know whether it was because of the influence of his mentor or something else, but he always carried the statue of Sanqing with him wherever he went.
Yao Ping's eyebrows flew into his temples, his anger sank into his Dantian, and he said in a condensed voice: "The Lord of Liao sent someone to say bluntly that the Jurchen Tatars have arrived at the city. It is difficult to protect Yunzhou if Yingzhou is lost. Yingzhou is our hometown. When the Xia thieves were in trouble,
Our fathers have suffered from war, but we will definitely not let the Tatars enter this time.
Otherwise, the land of Qinlong will repeat the old story of the Daming Mansion, blocking the Jurchens and assisting Khitan, in order to protect the family and the territory. After passing the order, the three armies set off with light cavalry, handed the baggage to the civilians, and walked slowly behind."
Thousands of horses are galloping on the land of Yunzhou, and the dust raised in the sky by the dry weather only adds to its power. Looking from a distance, you can see thunderous roars, flags and flags fluttering, and horses galloping like dragons.
The Western Army has been training cavalry since the extermination of Xia Dynasty. This was originally a tree planted by the teacher, but Yao Pingzhong picked the fruit. The strength of the army depends on the horse, and the strength of the combat effectiveness depends to a large extent.
The popularity of war horses and cavalry greatly enhanced the mobility of the Western Army.
At the top of Hongzhou City, I saw the Yelv Stone from a distance, and a rush of heat surged through my heart. This was Yao Pingzhong, with whom I once fought side by side in Zhongjing Mansion, launched the unstoppable Northern Expedition, and recovered a large amount of territory.
It is a pity that he is a Han, otherwise Yelu Dashi would have to become a brother with him. Such a man is a natural commander, and everyone in the Western Army is willing to die for him.
The officers and soldiers of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty were willing to fight with him, and the Khitan monarchs and ministers were willing to let him station. This point even made Yelu Dashi and Yelu Yanxi reach a consensus.
In the history of later generations, the young Taiwei Yao Pingzhong was also deeply loved by the Song Emperor. Although he went into the mountains to practice Taoism after winning a battle, which seemed a bit unreliable, but it was already the Qinzong period, and it was rare.
The battle was won, and the front force even forced the Jin soldiers to retreat ten miles.
Yelu Dashi came out in person, patted Yao Pingzhong on the shoulder and said, "Xi Yan, you are finally here!"
Yao Pingzhong chuckled and said: "Your Majesty, tell the story in the city. How many Jin soldiers have come? Is Yongning Village still in your hands?"
One sentence got the point right. Yongning Village is the top priority of this battle.
Yelu Dashi was even more happy. When he looked at the troops and horses he brought, they were stronger than when he withdrew his troops.
"Xi Yan, this time the Jurchens are serious..." Yelu Dashi said in a deep voice, but there was already some hope in his tone.
Outside Hongzhou City, Yongning Village bore the brunt of the attack and was already under heavy artillery fire. When the Jurchens did not have enough equipment, their first choice was always to expel the survivors and fill the trenches with their lives.
Yelu Dashi was in Youyan and saw with his own eyes how Yang Lin fought and cleared the country early. However, there were too many people in the Liao territory, and these people were now under the rule of the Jin Kingdom. They did not expect that the Jurchens did not care about this, and their troops and horses were everywhere.
To gallop back and forth means to plunder crops and people.
The Jurchen troops and horses under Wanyan Loushi relied on this strength advantage to spread out over a wide front, driving countless ragged Cangtou Shengkou and Khitan auxiliary troops to constantly test and search along the vast front.
Is there a passable mountain trail that can bypass Yongning Village?
As long as he finds a flaw, the Jurchen elites who have been waiting behind will swarm in and tear the gap wider and wider until it can no longer be blocked.
If you can't find it, you can only forcefully attack Yongning Village. This place is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a difficult nut to crack.
In addition to looking for loopholes, a series of tentative battles also broke out. The Jurchen army was still mainly composed of auxiliary troops and tribal troops. From time to time, they gathered under Yongning Village and surrounded and attacked.
In the Jurchen camp, countless generations of captives are working hard to make simple long ladders. If they can't find a good way to break the city, the only way is to use their lives and shields to charge and force them.
Use bows and crossbows to cover. Then use auxiliary troops to carry side cards to cover. Then fill the trenches and pile up soil to open the attack channel. Finally, use simple long ladders to attach moths to the waves.
Wanyan Lousi was patrolling the camp with a riding crop. Wherever he went, the freshmen did not dare to breathe. They lowered their heads and worked hard, for fear that if they were seen slacking off and resting for a moment, they might die.
on the spot.
Walking to a simple barracks, there was a faint sound of sobbing inside. Lou Shi asked with a straight face: "What is this?"
One of his subordinates, Meng An Ahan, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "This is the fun the brothers captured."
Wanyan Loushi immediately understood that there should be some beautiful women who had been kidnapped.
He snorted coldly and said: "The military situation is urgent. There are no idlers in the camp. Let them come out to make the long ladder."
As soon as the order was given, the Jurchen soldiers, who were like wolves and tigers, came under the shed with whips and drove them out to work like dogs and sheep.
Ahan showed a trace of unbearability in his eyes and said: "What are these women doing? Let's kill a few more people to shock them and make them do it faster."
Wanyan Loushi glared at him and cursed: "Idiot, when you conquer Yunzhou, you won't get any woman you want. The Khitan Prime Minister and the ministers' women are yours to divide up. In the future, follow Zong Hanbo and invade the Southern Dynasties.
If you catch a random woman, she will be pretty. At this time, nothing else is as important as capturing Yongning Village."
While they were saying this, several of the women in front of them had already been whipped to death by the Jurchen Tatars because they were crying and walking slowly.
Most of the women were naked, holding back tears, they picked up hammers and started working, even when wooden thorns dug into their hands and blood dropped, they did not dare to stop.
When a country is destroyed, the people who perish are not as good as dogs...

Hangzhou city is full of traffic.
After Liu Qi led his troops and left, Zhang Shuye in Hangzhou City and Yin Muhong from the Duwei Mansion also moved to Suzhou, and peace was restored here again.
The officials in Hangzhou City also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, with these two great gods around, everyone felt uncomfortable.
A group of guards in brocade robes and red clothes escorted a luxurious carriage slowly into the city.
Lu Qian said through the car curtain: "Madam, Di Ji, we have arrived at Hangzhou Mansion."
Cai Lingbao opened the curtain, his voice was clear and sweet, and he said with a smile: "Let's go deliver the letter to Brother Qi quickly, and then return to Bianliang. Dad, it's true, why don't we send someone to deliver it."
Duan Miaozhen said softly: "The grand master certainly has his reasons. Besides, when we get to Hangzhou, we can just spend a day there. Lin Lang often talked about the scenery here."
How did she know that the content of the letter she was about to send was to ask the seventh brother Cai Jun to go to Bianliang with his sister to do some things.
At the yamen gate, Cai Jun personally greeted him. Today, his little sister was coming by the way, and he had already received the news.
Now the little sister is no longer the little girl who was born as a concubine and no one cares about her. She is Yang Lin's woman with supercilious eyes, and she is also the hope of the Cai family.
Seeing the carriage approaching, Cai Jun smiled what he thought was a bright smile, stretched out his hand and took a step forward, looking like a loving brother.
Suddenly, a man with a majestic appearance emerged from the crowd, his voice like a dragon roaring and a tiger roaring: "Cai Jun, Dog Officer, accept your fate!"
This man's movements were so fast and he was so brave that the surrounding police officers had no time to stop him.
Cai Yun's eyes widened, a sharp knife was inserted in his chest, he vomited blood, and fell to the ground dead.
The surrounding police officers were all shocked. They looked at this high-spirited man with a wry smile on their faces: "Wu Tiha...what are you...why are you doing this?"
"Cai Yun is harming the people. I, Wu Song, have long said that I will kill this guy. What happened today will not affect my brothers. I will be arrested and held accountable."
Lu Qian, who was not far away, was stunned and drew his sword to protect the carriage. The guards behind him also acted as if they were facing a powerful enemy, protecting the young master's two concubines.
Lu Qian looked at the corpses on the ground, spat and cursed in a low voice: "The Cai family are really evil."
("Lin'an County Chronicles", "West Lake Grand View", "Hangzhou Prefecture Chronicles", "Zhejiang General Chronicles" and other historical records record: Wu Songyuan was a busker who wandered around the country. "He has a strange and majestic appearance. He tried to use his skills outside Yongjin Gate. He is not a thief.")
". The high authority of the Hangzhou magistrate saw Wu Song's martial arts and outstanding talents, so he invited him to join the government and let him serve as the head of the capital. Soon, he was promoted to the governor due to his merit. Cai Jing's son Cai Jun succeeded to the post of Hangzhou magistrate, relying on his father's power and tyrannizing the government.
He brought disaster to the people and was known as "Cai Hu". Wu Song refused to join in with him and was expelled. From then on, Wu Song harbored public resentment and personal grudges, and often wanted to assassinate him. He hid a sharp knife in his body and hid in front of Cai's mansion, waiting for Cai Jun to come calling from behind and swarming with arrows.
General rushed forward and stabbed Cai Jun several times, killing him immediately. Officers and soldiers swarmed to besiege Wu Song, but Wu Song was eventually captured by the officers and soldiers because he was outnumbered. He was later brutally tortured and died in prison. The local people deeply felt his virtue and buried him.
Next to Xiling Bridge in Hangzhou, later generations erected a monument with the title "The Tomb of Wu Song, a Yishi of the Song Dynasty".)
Later generations of the family created the story of Tiger Hunting in Jingyanggang based on the story of Wu Song Cihu, turning "Cai Hu" into a real tiger. Although it made him famous, he also made up some stories about indiscriminate killing of innocent people.
The bridge section insulted the honorable name of a righteous man. Wu Tiha was actually from Qinghe County, Hebei Province, and he well deserved the name of a righteous man.
The officers swarmed up and captured Wu Song, but he did not resist at all.
