Cows and sheep can be seen in the windblown grass.
At this time, the Houtao area was really trapped by the Yellow River... When the river reached the upper left corner of the jigsaw shape, it suddenly split into two. One way turned along the traditional jigsaw shape of the river, while the other road chose to continue to the Yellow River.
To the north, it changes its route when it encounters the Yin Mountain, and proceeds along the Yin Mountain until it returns south along the mountain, merges with the branch, and then continues to rush.
The river here is as wide as thousands of paces, and the water flow is slow, making it easy to divert water for irrigation. In addition, the Yinshan Mountains shield the wind and snow, making this place both plowable and grazing. Blocking the river south is definitely not a waste of money.
At this time, in the summer heat, the climate here actually feels comfortable again, but this can only be attributed to the abundant water and northerly location.
“It is truly a blessed land.”
In the morning, thirteen or four miles southeast of Wulahai City, Wanyan Wushu stood on a hillside. After looking at the surrounding scenery for a long time, he sighed. "Who would have thought that such a location could have such a style?"
?Before, I just thought this place was just geographically important."
The cripple Wanhu Wanyan who was accompanying him quickly turned around and looked around. In desperation, he could only bite the bullet and answer: "The King of Wei is right, it is really a good place, much better than our hometown."
Wu Shu nodded slightly and did not continue to answer... because he knew very well that Tu Hesu was not the kind of person who could talk at all, and he could not understand his sincere admiration for the magnificent mountains and rivers. Of course, he did not refute it.
Ridicule the other person because he knows that this feeling is a very personal thing and others have no obligation to resonate with him.
In fact, even Wushu himself had a feeling of feeling a little emotional for the rivers and mountains since he crossed Huaishang on a snowy night, but it was only a fleeting moment in his drunkenness. However, that is, from that time on Huaishang,
As he experienced more setbacks and difficulties, this intoxication and appreciation of natural scenery became more and more clear and common.
After the so-called wooden dragon crossed the river, Wu Shu had an illusion. It seemed that compared to those people, those things, mountains, rivers, wind, snow, rain and thunder were more worthy of his closeness. It seemed that being close to these things would make him more close.
What do you feel about strength and tenderness? The general and the subtle, light and darkness.
Of course, this is probably because people become more sensitive after being injured.
Whether it is physical trauma or psychological trauma, many people who are frustrated or injured on the battlefield will become sensitive in various senses.
For example, Wushu's third brother Wanyan Niuliduo became more and more convinced of Buddhism? For example, in the later period of Wanyan Loushi's body, his body was full of injuries and he was extremely sensitive to weather changes, so from this perspective? Wushu is very likely
After receiving that knife, the door to a new world suddenly opened up.
Without further ado, Wu Shu finished his emotion, looked at the time, and continued heading west. Among them, Ah Da and Ah Er led two hundred armored cavalrymen in front, while Tuohe and the other seven or eight hundred armored cavalrymen followed.
Then it moves slowly with Wu Shu himself.
They didn't come here to see the scenery? They didn't come to investigate Wu Lahai City. Instead, they came to meet with the leader of the Kled tribe, Hu'er Zahusi, according to the terms negotiated the day before.
The Kelie tribe is the largest Mongol tribe next to Ketun City, and Huerza Husi accepted Yeluyanshan's request precisely because he had obtained the promise to control Ketun City that day, and at the same time invited the cooperation with high anti-gold sentiments.
Bu Lehan sent troops together and entered the back cover.
But to be honest, the whole battle up to this point has not been smooth. First of all, it is mainly because Li Liangfu, the Xixia garrison in Yinshan, is very resilient. He has deployed his troops properly and firmly controlled the various fortresses and Wu Lahai City.
The Mongols were afraid of casualties, so they just kept fighting with Li Liangfu.
However, suddenly, things took a huge turn.
The Emperor of Xixia came, the Khitan army came, and then the Jurchen army also came, so the Emperor of Xixia escaped again under the protection of Li Liangfu.
At this time, the intensity of the war also changed dramatically... The Jurchens and the Khitan people who had regained their courage to fight used iron and blood to make the Mongol people who had just had some climate on the grassland feel what it meant to be real.
war.
It turns out that an army can have so many armors?
It turns out that battles can be triggered without specific loot?
It turns out that war can actually throw away warriors and livestock like this?
In just half a month, the casualties suffered by the Mongol people may exceed the casualties caused by robbing each other on the grasslands in a year. At this time, the two leaders of the Mongol people, Hebu Lehan and Khurzahu
I just want to run away.
But it just couldn't be easily evacuated.
Because Yelu Dashi refused to let them go, and they left, how could the already struggling Khitan people resist the Jurchens' wolves and tigers? In fact, Wu Lahai City, which guarded the entrance to Yinshan Mountain in the north, was controlled by Yelu Dashi himself.
It means controlling the return path of the Mongol people.
And it was precisely because of this that Wanyan Wushu finally persuaded Hu'er Zhahusi on the condition that the Mongol people were allowed to leave the Hetao from the east. As for Hebu Lehan, the territory of the Qiyan tribe to which he belonged was far to the east.
, was directly oppressed and influenced by the Jurchens, and was also elected as Khan by the tribes in the east. He had been hostile to the Jurchens for a long time, so he was unwilling to go with the Jurchens easily, let alone accept this kind of being under the supervision of the Jurchens.
Conditions for crossing the river.
But even if Zahusi's sudden defection was enough to shake the Khitan people's fighting courage.
So on this day, Wu Shu decided to come in person and meet with Hu'erza Husi in the south of Wu La Hai City... This place was very close to the original camp of the Kle tribe in the southwest of Wu La Hai City, and also very close to Wu La Hai City.
Lahai City is very close... In a sense, Wushu is very good.
Of course, it was another matter for Wanyan Bali to personally lead an army of 20,000 to the southeast and follow behind under the cover of long grass and trees, preparing for fishing and law enforcement. That was another matter.
The location was decided in advance, with two small slopes and a place in the middle that could barely be considered the bottom of a valley, which was perfect for an alliance meeting.
At noon, Wu Shu led the crowd to the north of the small slope in the east. He waited for a while and saw the sun reaching due south. He then climbed up the small slope and raised his own flag as promised...another five-color flag.
Japanese flag.
In fact, this flag was very common in Chinese history. It was found in both Song and Liao. The Jurchens did not know at first what the meaning of the five virtues holding the sun represented the holy king. They just saw this flag on the battlefield regardless of Song and Liao.
The status of the flag was much higher than other flags, so they simply used it. Now after twenty years of fighting, this flag naturally has its own specific meaning within the Jurchens, that is, it represents the status of the Jurchen marching commander.
After waiting for a while, no flag appeared on the hill opposite, and no one came out to give an explanation. Things seemed a little strange.
Wanyan Wushu and Tu Heshu looked at each other calmly... Obviously, they wanted to form an alliance with the Klei tribe, but it would be better if the Klei tribe was playing tricks and hooked up with Yelu Dashi to surround them!
Time passed little by little, and Wu Shu did not see anyone from the Klei tribe, nor did he wait for the expected ambush. There was not even any unnecessary movement. Even Wu Lahai City in the distance was a little quiet... I have to say
If there is anything unusual, it can only be that the wind today is a bit noisy.
The summer wind has already become cooler when it crosses the miles-wide Yellow River, but it is forced to stop under the Yinshan Mountains that block the north and south, so that the wind and waves repeatedly blow under the mountains, making it difficult to say whether it is far or close.
Movements in the Wu people's camp and the Khitan camp can be brought from afar.
But that was only from a distance. Today, the wind was just a little louder and the movement was a little louder. There were no traces of soldiers or horses nearby.
After waiting for a while, in desperation, Wu Shu gestured with his lips, and the two Xi clan attendants, A Da and A Er, agreed, and each led a hundred riders to circumambulate from the back of the hillside, preparing to take a closer look behind the hillside.
Seeing the two hundred riders disappear on the hillside and then reappear on the opposite hillside, obviously finding nothing... Wushu and Tuheshu were furious. The Ganqing Kelie tribe did not play tricks, but simply let them go!
But at this time, Ah Da and Ah Er, who had just climbed the opposite hillside, just looked back. After a moment, he rushed down the slope with his subordinates like crazy, heading straight for Wu Shu.
Wu Shu and Tu He quickly looked at each other, not angry but happy.
Tu Hesu couldn't help but ride his horse forward and asked: "How is it? There is indeed an ambush? How many people are there?"
"It's not an ambush! It's a human!" Ah Da shouted from a distance.
"Isn't it an ambush?" Tu Hesu was furious. "Besides, why are you so loud? Whose responsibility is it if you scare them away?"
"No one is here!" A'er shouted on the horse. "Don't worry about it for the moment... Please also ask the fourth prince and Wanhu to turn back quickly and join the army!"
Wu Shu was puzzled when he heard this: "We are not here, why are you so flustered? We don't have to worry about it for the moment, so why do you want us to go back?"
While Ada was speaking, he had already arrived in front of the small slope, but he rolled off his horse, fell down directly, and then responded breathlessly: "Fourth Prince! There are too many people! Hurry up and leave!"
Ah Er also arrived, but with the same attitude: "Fourth Prince, please leave quickly! Before they notice us!"
Wu Shu became more and more angry. He held his riding crop and shook it in the air: "What exactly is going on? Tell me clearly!"
Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other, and it was Ah Da who was the first to press the button and said in a panic: "Fourth Prince, there is no ambush, and there are no enemy troops nearby. It's just that there are too many enemy troops in the Mongol camp and the river. If you are discovered,
Then we catch up and we can't resist at all."
"Ba Lisu is leading 20,000 iron cavalry right behind..." Tu Hesu also became furious.
"If that's the case, it would be even worse. We must not let Bali Sudu come over." Ah Da almost cried. "Although you can't see clearly from a distance, most of the military uniforms are red and white. I'm afraid Song Army reinforcements have arrived!
"
When Wu Shu heard the last sentence, he was slightly startled, and then his expression changed drastically. However, he was still puzzled by Ah Da and Ah Er's panic... How many Song troops could come if the Song army arrived at this time?
As soon as he thought of this, Wanyan Wushu didn't hesitate, and actually reined up his horse and headed towards the opposite hillside. Tu Hesu was equally disdainful and reined in his horse to catch up.
Ah Da and Ah Er had no choice but to turn around and follow.
And a moment later, under the bright sunshine of the afternoon, in the noisy summer wind, as Wu Shu and Tu He quickly rode up the east slope, they all gasped in the summer.
Without him, as Ada and Aer said - there are too many people!
Under the visual inspection, from the outflow waterway of the Yellow River at the foot of Yinshan Mountain, all the way to the Kele tribe camp more than ten miles away from the waterway, and then to the Khitan cavalry camp behind Wu Lahai City, there are red and white people everywhere with a slight flash of light.
Cars, horses, flags, and this red tide like rolling waves is still stretching towards the Qiyan tribe camp further south.
Further away, on the distant river where the eyesight is gradually fading, although it is not clear, it is obvious that there should still be countless people and livestock coming here along the river, and there are countless supplies, passing through simple rafts, the rafts cannot
Emerging from the river.
This scene is as if the normally calm water of the Yellow River suddenly came to life. It stretched out a three-fingered dragon's claw and grabbed the Khitan and Mongol people!
Under the sun, facing such a situation, both Wu Shu and Tu Hesu felt an unprecedented sense of fear!
This is a fear they have never experienced before!
To be fair, the two people who experienced the Battle of Dajin were certainly well-informed.
If there are many enemy troops on the opposite side, are there more people from Bianliang City? If they are all armies, it is not surprising, because both the Liao and Song people have deployed large enough armies in front of the Jurchens.
, these people are more numerous than the Song army who rescued Taiyuan?
Is it because there are many livestock and cavalry on the opposite side?
That’s not right. In the battle of Guarding Dagang, the Khitan cavalry and livestock were as numerous as the sea.
However, Wu Shu and Tu Hesu just felt fear... because they knew that the dense crowds and military strength in front of them were probably the biggest enemy of the Jurchen army in their lives!
The Khitan people were incompetent, and so were the Liao troops guarding the Dagang. But who dares to say that Yelu Dashi and his followers, who continued to fight after so many years of the Liao's fall, and were getting stronger with each war, were incompetent?
If you're incompetent, it's been almost half a month, why haven't you seen the Dajin West Route Army, which has superior strength, drive the opponent out of the back trap?
The Han people were incompetent, and the Song army under Tokyo City, on the Hebei Plain, and outside Taiyuan City was incompetent. But who dares to say that the main force of the Song Army's imperial camp, which gritted its teeth and counterattacked step by step from the Huaihe River, was incompetent?
Will the incompetent Song Army appear here?! Will it appear under the Yin Mountain?!
This is Yinshan Mountain!
It's the Mongol people. For several years, Dajinzhen has been obsessed with Hebulehan.
Of course, the more important point is that the other party has experienced the scourge of war and has become stronger and stronger. At the same time, the Jurchens have become more and more degenerate, and their combat power is becoming less and less than before. It is also a fact.
But no matter what the reason is, this is the first time since the founding of the People's Republic of China that the Jurchens have felt fear from the perspective of military strength... Even if it is the Battle of Yaoshan, they will not be afraid if it is fought again.
Only people in the Song Dynasty dared to call out luck, but this time, the Jurchens finally began to be afraid!
This also means that the sum of these armies in front of us, the sum of these forces gathered together, finally overwhelmed the Jurchens for the first time.
In fact, when he thought of this, Wanyan Wushu had already realized why the Song Army came here... They wanted to gather a force that could overwhelm the goddess' power head-on!
Facing the Jurchens who have been rampant in the world for twenty years, facing the Kingdom of Jin, which still controls 200,000 households, the Han people were almost destroyed, and the Khitans, who had already been virtually destroyed once, have just risen.
The Mongol people, the three coalition forces appeared here, and then merged together, which in itself was a huge victory that was beyond words, both military and political!
"King Wei!"
Just as Wanyan Wushu was shaking in his mind, Tu Hesu suddenly pointed his finger at a group of Song troops pouring out of the branch by the river. The Song troops had bright armor and neat arrays. They obviously had special status, otherwise they would never be there.
He kept wearing armor during the march.
And in the middle of this Song army, they were escorting a particularly conspicuous flag.
The shape of the flag was huge, and the pattern of the three tails fluttering in the wind was also extremely weird. With just one finger, Wu Shu immediately realized what it was... except for some reason, there were two black and white flags on both sides of the flag.
The large banner inevitably adds a little extra momentum.
"Fourth Prince, let's go!" Ada carefully pulled Wanyan Wushu's skirt armor from under the horse. "There are so many enemy troops. If they are discovered, they will be entangled by the Mongols' light cavalry, and then followed by the Song people's heavy troops."
Go up, we are really in danger..."
"You can't leave!" Wu Shu came back to his senses, but his breathing became rapid. "It's more difficult to leave at this time..."
"Fourth Prince!" Tu Hesu also breathed heavily, but he immediately reached out and held down the riding crop in the opponent's hand. "I know what you mean. It's even more difficult to show weakness at this time, but now that we have such a small number of people, we can't touch each other."
If you go up there, you will die in vain! Even if there are 20,000 ambushes behind you, you have to be careful... What we are most afraid of is not us, but the 20,000 ambushes who mistakenly think we have succeeded and bump into us!"
"You can't leave then!" Wu Shu turned around, his face frighteningly pale. "You go tell Ba Li to withdraw his troops immediately, and I'll go meet the Song people!"
"Fourth Prince!" Tu Hesu suddenly became furious. "This is not the time for competition. The other Wanhu households are right. You are fair in dealing with things. You are a good prince and a good king, but you care too much about the Zhao Song family! From then on!
I have been grudged since I came to Huaishang...but what is the use of such competition?!"
"Fourth Prince!" Ah Er was almost crying at the side. "The Song people have discovered us. It must be the Mongol people from the Kelie tribe who told the Song army... Let's go quickly!"
"Even if we don't say anything, even if such a big flag has been set up here for half a quarter of an hour, the Song Dynasty people will divide their troops and come to investigate!" Tu Hesu became more and more angry. "Fourth Prince, please leave quickly!"
Wu Shu looked at the several groups of light cavalry that were coming from a distance and could not tell whether they were Song people, Mongol people or Khitan people. When he looked at Tu Hesu again, he gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"Fourth Prince!"
When Tu Hesu saw this, instead of being angry, he sighed and softened his tone slightly. "I really understand the Fourth Prince's intentions, but let's go now and let Ah Da and Ah Er deal with the enemy without losing anything."
Just improve morale... If it weren't for my lame leg, I would definitely stay and deal with the enemy personally... But it's no better than it used to be. Me too, so are you, and so is the overall situation."
Wu Shu sneered, not sure whether it was disdain or self-deprecation.
But no matter what, Tu Hesu, who had always been vulgar, was not angry this time. Instead, he just continued to respond sincerely: "Actually, I feel the same way as the fourth prince. In the past two years, I have often hated Yaoshan for not being able to be on the battlefield. I have often thought about what would happen if
If I lead two or three thousand more soldiers and horses on the battlefield, can I pull out the dragon in one fell swoop? Then all of Kansai will fall into our hands, and we are currently besieging Tokyo?"
Wu Shu looked at the coalition formation in the distance and finally felt a little moved.
"But how can anything in the world be taken for granted?"
Tu Hesu took Wu Shu's hand and continued to speak harshly. "If a living girl can't swallow that breath, will it be useful or harmful to Daikin? If you, the fourth prince, can't swallow this breath today and die here, what will it do to Daikin?"
Is it useful or harmful? Fourth Prince, as someone who knows the military, you should know that terrain like the Hetao is a dead end for cavalry... You can see this from the performance of the Mongols before. We have the advantage, but they are frustrated.
, it turns out that it is difficult to leave, and now a large group of infantry of the Song Army has arrived, and they are the ones who have the upper hand! If I were the commander of the Song Army, after knowing the inside story of our troops, I would definitely have the army properly arranged, with the infantry in the middle.
The cavalry is on the left and right, pressing majestically from west to east... At that time, what should we do?"
Wu Shu was neither angry nor happy when he heard this, but he didn't know if it was an illusion, but there was a hint of pleading in his eyes when he looked at Tu Hesu.
Seeing this, Tu Hesu softened his tone completely: "Anyway, speaking of the fourth prince, what we have to do now is to leave quickly. When we see Ba Lisu, we will quickly ask him to turn around and retreat, and then return to the camp.
We must quickly break camp and retreat from this place surrounded by water before making plans! Fourth Prince, now is not the time to fight with all your might! You shouldn’t waste your time fighting!”
Wu Shu stared at Tu Hesu, and Tu Hesu stared at Wu Shu. The two stared at each other for a moment, but as the cavalry in the distance got closer, Wu Shu finally looked up to the sky and sighed.
In fact, how could the fourth prince not understand this truth? But it was because he understood that he did not want to retreat, because withdrawing from this land surrounded by water would really be equivalent to a complete withdrawal of troops, which also meant that he was being
After the owner of the dragon banner opposite took control, he was restrained and passive in everything for several months, almost as if he was being manipulated by the other party.
That is, he thought of strategic contraction from the beginning, giving up both ends, and retreating to the traditional Hebei and Hedong areas. But what is the difference between retreating on his own and being driven back or forced back?
But what can be said?
Isn't Tuhesu right?
In a sense, the matter is unsolvable, just like under Mount Yao, when he saw the large banner coming down from the mountain, he had no choice but to do anything about it. The appearance of the large banner this time has already made strategic progress.
suppressed him.
The first is to attack the enemy with troops, then the second is to attack the enemy, and the second is to attack the army.
What the Zhao Song officials did this time was more like attacking and scheming, and since Wanyan Wushu chose a conservative strategy from the beginning, he didn't think about it at this level. Of course, if he had Wanyan Lou's room,
He has the ability and courage to fight enemies with enemies, but the problem is that he doesn't have them.
After thinking this, Wu Shu glanced at the red tide again, then turned around and rode away.
Tu Hesu followed up immediately, but Ah Da and Ah Er looked at each other, but got on their horses instead. Ah Er then went to the side of the hillside to hide for a while, while Ah Da pulled up the five-color sun-holding flag and stood it on the hillside.
Do not move.
Moreover, Zhao Jiu will certainly not do anything because of the small-scale battle ahead, and even the specific results of this battle may not be delivered to him.
After arriving here today, the Song army, which had originally contacted the Khitan and Mongol people as reinforcements, did not stop for a moment, but immediately set off to join the three camps to join the friendly troops. Then the official turned to the Wu with the army.
On the south side of Lahai City... there is the camp that Yue Fei selected on the way yesterday. The Song Army has already agreed in a letter with two Mongol camps to set up a stronghold between the two Mongol camps.
Join forces with them and fight against the enemy together.
Of course, he must have appeared directly at the rear without waiting for a reply, and then directly operated. And now it is obvious that he has the intention to control these two combat forces and further ensure the right to speak when facing the main force of the Khitan.
Not to mention that, for some reason, when they were halfway through, Zhao Guan's dragon robe and the black and white oxen who were accompanying them stopped. The original plan to turn around and meet the three allies at the Kelie tribe camp also changed.
Changes - now, the officials will meet with the heads of the three families in this wilderness, surrounded by their own army.
This seems a bit exaggerated.
But the generals who accompanied the march would certainly not raise any questions. On the contrary, after receiving the oral instructions, the generals were excited and went off to invite the three men.
Suddenly Zahu Si directly responded, but he did not dare to respond because his camp was very close to the Yellow River and was exposed in the wilderness. As soon as he came up, the cavalry from the front of the Song Army rushed to the camp. In this case, he had to
To maintain the identity of the 'right army'.
Hebul Khan's performance is very interesting. When the Song army first appeared, he led his troops directly out of the camp to avoid the situation. He had the intention of running away when the situation was not good.
But seeing that the Song army remained friendly enough, they even provided him with some food and gave some gifts. Moreover, the leader of the Qiyan tribe and the recommended Khan of the eastern Mongol tribe probably knew that he was in this kind of situation.
It is impossible to escape easily in a place surrounded by water and with complicated military conditions. Moreover, the man who grabbed Wu Qiqi’s beard is also courageous, so after thinking about it for a while, he actually agreed directly and then left alone.
Come.
However, Yelu Dashi, who was the closest, did not leave the city immediately. He only sent Yelu Yujian and Zhao Heda to visit the Zhao Song officials.
Then the two of them were stopped by the Song Army more than a hundred steps away from Long Hu.
Then, more than a thousand Song Army cavalrymen did not wait for the two men to return to report the news. Under the leadership of Quduan, the imperial cavalry commander, they went straight to the foot of Wu Lahai City, and then circled the city, shouting the name of Yelu Dashi... Of course, it was
Called Dashi Linya, it seems that he still maintains a certain degree of respect.
"I'll go for you!"
On the city wall, hearing the noise of "The official invites Dashi Linya for a while", Xiao Weoli whispered to his king.
"No need."
Yelu Dashi, who had been lying on the battlements and looking down at the Song army formation for a full noon and an afternoon, suddenly laughed and stood up. "After all, he is the serious emperor of Zhao Song and the strongest soldier here. I should have been the one to leave the city.
Paying homage... In fact, if we couldn't trust him, we wouldn't have easily crossed over to trick him after knowing that Xingling Land had changed hands... At that time, we had given our lives to others, let alone now? At this time.
They are also the reinforcements we invited according to the scriptures, and they are the ones who saved our lives this time!"
With that said, following Yelu Dashi's signal, several personal guards came forward and helped the leader of the Xiliao Kingdom directly on the top of the city to start disarming.
Xiao Weili thought for a while, then sighed slightly: "I'm afraid that the other party is young and energetic, and wants to overpower you! People here may not know that you have already become the Khan King in the Western Regions, and it will be time for you to become a minister by then.
how?"
"Yes, so what?" Yelu Dashi, who was wearing a cloth robe under his armor, suddenly changed his expression when he heard this. "But what if I don't go?" After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Weili's reply, Yelu Dashi
Then he turned around and went down to the city, leaving only a few words. "This city is in danger, you come to defend it!"
Xiao Weili could only nod at the back of his own king.
On the other side, when they came down from the city, Yelu Dashi didn't call any extra guards, nor did he dispatch his troops. He just wore cloth and a sword. Then he got on his horse and ordered the city gate to be opened.
When they got out of the city gate, the Song Army cavalry who was calling for Dashi Linya were stationed in front of the gate early. At this time, they thought it was an envoy coming out, but they gathered around them one after another and asked directly: "Where is Dashi Linya? Our officials are here to invite you!"
Yelu Dashi immediately raised his head and smiled. After laughing, he answered calmly: "I am Yelu Dashi. Brothers, please lead the way!"
The surrounding Song Army cavalry were stunned for a moment and could only call out to Qu Duan in a hurry. Qu Duan arrived a moment later, but unexpectedly, Yelu Dashi had already gone to the direction of Longhu alone under the eyes of the Song Army cavalry... And they
I didn't dare to stop him at all.
Even Qu Duan could only sneer a few times, but ignored him.
In this way, after a whole afternoon of tossing, the sun had changed color and dimmed slightly, but the summer wind was roaring as before, bringing countless noisy sounds. It was under this condition that the horse came to the famous dragon on the Yelu Dashi.
Before.
Frankly speaking, since before the expedition, following Yelu Yu's words, he had already been deeply impressed by the dragon in front of him.
But it was obvious that there was no particularly young nobleman under the dragon's hat. Dashi turned to look at each other and asked calmly. He also pointed to a particularly tall tree by the roadside. As expected, there were several circles of soldiers surrounding it.
Look.
Moreover, although there are trees here in Houtao, they are still rare compared to the south. Especially this tree is extremely tall, quite old, and its crown is like a pavilion. Therefore, Dashi did not take it seriously and only thought that this Zhao Song official family
I was used to enjoying it on weekdays, so I was enjoying the shade there. Perhaps it was because of the certain charm of this tree that it aroused the poetic interest of this official who was said to be an excellent poet and lyricist.
But no matter what, Dashi didn't bother to think deeply, he just got off his horse and walked to the tree.
However, when they came under the tree, there was still no noble person. Only the soldier pointed his finger again. Only then did Yelu Dashi discover that there was a pool of water more than a hundred steps behind the tree. There were people busy there, and outside the crowd, it seemed that there was indeed
There are those who are well-dressed and stand in awe.
Dashi had no choice but to walk forward again. When he came dozens of steps away, he could not see the farthest Hebule. He only saw a slightly nervous Hu'er Zahusi coming towards him. He had obviously said hello to Zhao Song's official family. At this time,
When he saw himself arriving, he was invited away.
Suddenly, Zahusi bowed slightly to Yelv Dashi, then turned his head and gestured to a figure in cloth clothes standing solemnly by the reed marsh. At the same time, several Han and Tibetan officials in gorgeous clothes saw this and knew who had arrived. Although
They were shocked at how the other party was dressing up, but they still rushed forward one after another, ready to say some extravagant words.
Yelu Dashi ignored these people and simply passed through them with his hands behind his hands. Then he stepped forward and shouted with a smile: "The Zhao Guan family is very interested. They know that the reed flowers are about to bloom here, so they specifically called Dashi over!"
Unexpectedly, the young man, who was from Zhao Guan's family, turned around, looked at the visitor slightly, and then slowly shook his head: "Dashi Linya has thought too much, I stopped here and didn't have any extra thoughts.
, I just passed by this place and dismounted for convenience, but unexpectedly I saw dozens of corpses floating in the reeds. They were all dressed up by Xixia people. They should be the methods of Dashi Linya's subordinates, but they were all ruined... I was afraid that they would pollute the water and soil.
, so I stopped here to supervise the people collecting the corpses and burying them, and also to clean up the water. As for the reed flowers, although they are similar to the reed flowers in Dashi Linya's hometown, they will be burned later."
Yelu Dashi, who was walking forward slowly, was startled for a moment, but soon he stopped and stood more than ten steps away from the opponent, then put his hands behind his hands and smiled again: "The official is kind-hearted and benevolent. I heard that the official believes in Buddhism."
?”
"Those bald donkeys should believe me!" Zhao Jiu also looked at each other with his hands behind his back, but his feet did not move at all.
Dashi also remained motionless, but smiled again and again and said: "The official family of Zhao is indeed the same as the rumors... It's not like the official families of Zhao and Song Dynasties in the past."
Zhao Jiu also laughed: "Dashi Linya hurried to Lanzhou and went all the way north. How could he have time to listen to my rumors? Do you only rely on Yelu Yujian and Zhao Heda? You must know what kind of person I am, and you won't do it yourself.
Come forward, you won’t be able to see clearly after all.”
Yelu Dashi was still laughing, but after he finished laughing, he moved his knife forward under the attention and vigilance of Liu Yan and others. He did not stop until he was two or three steps in front of Zhao Jiu. He first looked at it carefully with his head held high and his chest high.
The young official finally bowed his head solemnly:
"In the brother country of Liao and Song Dynasties, Dashi has paid tribute to His Majesty. Your Majesty has manipulated the world and played with the overall situation, easily destroying Xixia. Dashi has not yet congratulated Your Majesty."
Zhao Jiu finally took two steps forward, stretched out his hand, and pinched the opponent's hands next to the water where the body was being excavated, and then said sincerely: "I have known for a long time that big stone forest teeth are rare in today's world.
Great hero, it is a great honor to meet you today... Let us drive the Jurchens across the river together, and then burn incense with the big stone forest teeth to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and establish an alliance between the two countries!"
Yelu Dashi raised his head and nodded happily.
On the other side, while Zhao Jiu held the hands of the person in front of him, he turned to look at an official in brocade: "Zheng Qing, I am going to use your reputation to dominate the countries and suppress the Jurchens' prestige.
...You go to see the Jurchens and tell Wu Shu that, thanks to his cooperation, I have destroyed Xixia and surrendered with the imperial camp, 70,000 troops from the front army, the middle army, the left army, the rear army, and the cavalry army, and 80,000 party members.
When the troops arrive here, they will see the big stone forest teeth here. Now, I have joined forces with 200,000 troops, and I have Xixia reserves to supply until the autumn harvest, so I ask him to cross the river and retreat on his own!"
Zheng Zhichang, a well-known Korean scholar and international friend, was initially nervous when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he suddenly felt enlightened. He immediately nodded heavily, then held his head high and said: "I am willing to do my best for the government... It's just that...
Do you want to set a departure date with the Jurchens?"
"There is no need to make an appointment." Zhao Jiu still held on to the big stone and ordered calmly. "Because starting from tomorrow, the 200,000 allied troops of Song, Liao, Mongolia and Wu will set off together, forming a coalition from south to north.
Then push it flatly from west to east... If he wants to stay at Wanyan Wushu, I will meet him just in time, and I will ask Dashi Linya to accompany him."
At the end, Zhao Jiu looked at the person in front of him as a matter of course, while Yelu Dashi, whose hands were held in his hands, just smiled when he heard the words, but then became solemn and nodded seriously: "That's exactly what I meant!"
