The dawn illuminated the earth, the morning breeze caressed, the green trees swayed, and the flowers and plants were fragrant. On the ten-mile long hillock, the Luoyan Army soldiers who had been awake since midnight stood quietly at their respective combat positions.
Looking at the empty mountains and fields below.
In the past two months, the area around Shili Changgang has been besieged by Jurchens. Every day, the noise in the Jurchen camp at the foot of the mountain resounds throughout the surroundings, day and night. There are sounds of horses neighing and people roaring, and the noise is loud.
The sound of laughter never stops. Especially at night, the Jurchens like to drink around the bonfire. When they are drunk, they dance around the bonfire. They play a special musical instrument made of horse tail and clap a loud sound.
The skin drum sings a strange but long and melodious song. Sometimes, I don’t know if it is because they miss their hometown and relatives, they will cry and scream for no reason. These are all things that Luoyan felt at the beginning
The soldiers caused great trouble.
At the beginning, they were besieged on a ten-mile long post. The Luoyan Army was in a state of high tension. They were already worried about the opponent's attack and were worried about being besieged several times over. Then they heard these words in the Jurchen military camp.
The noisy sound kept everyone awake all night. But over time, the soldiers of the Luoyan Army became accustomed to it. Even later, the soldiers of the Luoyan Army became accustomed to sleeping, fighting and living amidst the noise of the Jurchens. They were almost used to it.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw the continuous enemy camps at the foot of the mountain and heard the Jurchens' swan noise. This has almost become a part of life.
But now, the early morning light illuminates the land below. It is empty and deserted. It is quiet there, without any noise of the birds, everything is eerily quiet, which makes the Luoyan Army soldiers feel something.
A strange feeling. At a certain moment, it felt as if something had been lost, a bit empty.
But soon, this inappropriate emotion was thrown out of the sky. Cheers rang out from the infantry camp on the north side of the hill, and then quickly spread to the entire hill. Only now did people realize the fact that
The arrogant Jurchens have taken the initiative to retreat. After being trapped on the hill for more than a month, the Luoyan Army finally gained freedom. All crises have been lifted at this moment.
Cheers came and went, resounding through the mountains. It was only then that the soldiers of the Luoyan Army truly felt that the spring sun was so warm, the trees were so green, the spring breeze was so warm, and the sky was so blue. Everything in front of them also disappeared as the crisis was relieved.
It became so vibrant and pleasing to the eye.
Lin Jue is also early
He got up and left the tent. All the generals had not slept all night. They had been waiting for Lin Jue outside the tent. When they saw Lin Jue walking out of the tent, the generals looked happy and saluted Lin Jue.
"Congratulations, Marshal, congratulations, Marshal." All the generals said in unison.
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Brothers, where does the joy come from?"
Shen Tan stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Marshal's clever calculations enabled him to win thousands of miles away. The Jurchens were teased by the Marshal to the point of applause. Knowing that they were no match for him, they voluntarily evacuated. This is all the result of the Marshal. I just met the Emperor.
Yes, the emperor said that he would confer a royal title on the commander-in-chief to commend the commander-in-chief for his achievements."
Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "Have you gone to see the emperor?"
Shen Tan said: "The emperor stayed up all night last night and kept checking the enemy's situation on the Range Rover Tower. We are all accompanying him. The emperor went back to rest not long ago. The emperor said that today's situation is all the fault of the marshal. He said that he would wait until he entered Bian
After Liang officially ascended the throne, he conferred the title of Marshal and County King. We have all heard about it."
"Yes, yes, we all heard it." All the generals nodded.
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "I don't care about being a king or not. Who can tell me what's going on down the mountain?"
Everyone said in astonishment: "Could it be that Marshal Lin really didn't pay attention to the Jurchens' withdrawal of troops last night?"
Lin Jue chuckled and said, "I know they are withdrawing their troops, but I didn't stay up all night staring at them. Wouldn't that affect my sleep? I slept soundly this night, but I don't know what happened."
Everyone rolled their eyes and thought to themselves: Marshal Lin is really big-hearted. He was playing chess in the big tent last night, and then he was able to sleep? This is probably because he is confident and has everything under control.
"Reporting to the Grand Marshal, after the third watch yesterday, the Jurchens withdrew their troops in large numbers. After midnight, all the Jurchen soldiers and horses besieged under the hills had been completely withdrawn, leaving no one behind. We sent scouts to follow them and check them.
Is it a scam? Where are they retreating to? The news we got now is that they really retreated. They didn't go to Bianliang, but went north. This is strange." Ma Qingshan stepped forward in a deep voice.
reported back.
Lin Jue nodded slightly and said: "Well, that's it. As expected. Going to Bianliang? You are overthinking it. Is Lu Zhongtian willing to let them go to Bianliang? The relationship between them is just a relationship of mutual use. Lu Zhongtian gave up.
Wanyan Agu's troops entered the capital? Then who is he? Wanyan Agu made a decisive decision
So fast, he is worthy of being a hero in this world. Sensing something bad, he immediately led his troops to retreat north to preserve his strength. This should be his wisest choice."
Ma Qingshan said: "We are about to ask the marshal for advice on the key to this. Please ask the marshal to clear up our doubts."
Lin Jue waved his hand and said: "We will talk about this later. There are a few things that need to be done now. Ma Qingshan, you immediately lead five thousand cavalry to the three counties of Yongqiu, Xiangyi and Ningling. Our food and grass have been exhausted, you must
We will raise food and grass from these three counties to meet our urgent needs."
Ma Qingshan cupped his hands in a deep voice and said: "General, I will obey your order. These three counties have not expressed anything yet. If they had known better, they would have raised food for you long ago. Food for the labor force is waiting for us. If not, I will give it to the officials of these three counties.
nice."
Lin Jue nodded and said: "There is no need to be merciful to those who are stubborn. These three counties have not yet submitted their allegiance to the new dynasty, which is very abominable. It would be fine if they actively raised food. If not, you can deal with it and change officials. Now
From the beginning, the prefectures and counties were supposed to undergo a major change of leadership. Officials who were not loyal to the new dynasty would be useless. But the most important thing was to get food back."
Ma Qingshan promised loudly and left after accepting the order.
Lin Jue looked at the people in front of him and said: "Everyone, you must also prepare. We will set off today. We will go to Chenliu first. Deputy Commander Shen, please lead 20,000 troops to capture Chenliu immediately and prepare to welcome the arrival of the emperor and the army.
.”
Shen Tan bowed and agreed.
Lin Jue said to everyone: "Everyone go back and prepare. I will go back to my account and write a letter to Vice Admiral Ma. The Jurchens will retreat and ignore them for the time being. We have to concentrate on dealing with this old thief Lu Zhongtian. He is already too carefree."
long time."
…
One day later, the main force of the Luoyan Army's 80,000-horse infantry stationed in Chenliu County for rest and recuperation. News of the Jurchens' evacuation spread throughout the Gyeonggi Province. Within a few days, officials from various prefectures in the Gyeonggi Province rushed to Chenliu to express their allegiance. According to wartime regulations, all localities
The state capital's grain and grass resources continued to arrive in Chenliu. Local soldiers and horses from all over the capital gathered together, and the Luoyan Army's soldiers and horses soon increased to more than 20,000.
Four days later, after receiving the order from Lin Jue, Ma Bin, Sun Wanchun and Gao Muqing led an army of 60,000 to escort a large amount of grain and grass supplies to Bianliang. A few days later, they joined forces with the Luoyan Army outside the south city of Bianliang. At this point, the Luoyan Army and the New Dynasty Forbidden Army
A total of 160,000 troops came to Bianliang City. Even a fool knew that they were going to attack Bianliang City.
