Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The envoy was baffled by what he heard, so he had to keep the advice of Emperor Qi Ximenqing in mind, and left Bianliang City in a hurry.

Ximenqing refused to form an alliance with Yelu Dashi because he remembered that in the original history, Yelu Dashi failed to counterattack the Jin Kingdom and restore the Khitan land.

On the contrary, Yelu Dashi went westward into Central Asia, proclaimed himself emperor there and rebuilt the Liao Kingdom, which was called Xiliao in history.

Ximenqing suspected that history would repeat itself, so how could he form an alliance with Yelu Dashi at this time?

However, just because Yelu Dashi might run rampant in Central Asia, Ximen Qing didn't tear himself apart to attack his secret envoy.

After all, Qi has already occupied the Hexi Corridor and borders the countries of the Western Regions.In the future, when Yelu Dashi establishes Xiliao, he may still be a neighbor of Ximenqing's Qi State.

Let's leave some room for each other, so let's meet again in the future!

After Yelu Dashi's secret envoy left, Ximenqing immediately summoned the important officials into the palace to discuss the war between the Jin Kingdom and the Can Liao Dynasty.

Most of the ministers still remember the strength of the Jin army, and they are not optimistic about Yelu Dashi's remnant Liao forces.

Even a minister like Zong Ze, who was determined to recover the lost land, did not support the hasty northern expedition and started a war with the Kingdom of Jin at this time.

After some discussions, Ximen Qing and his ministers decided to continue to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and then wait and see the situation of the Jin and Liao armies.

……

More than a month later, on the grasslands in the upper reaches of the Wulu River in the southeast of Wushan Mountain controlled by the recruiting department of Canliao Northwest Road, the sun had already set, but the Jin and Liao armies were fighting loudly, and the bloody battle was in full swing.

Wanyan Zongbi, known as the Fourth Prince in the Jin army, was covered in blood, and led his guards to launch a counter-charge. After defeating a cavalry from the Nianbage tribe, he asked a general who also killed himself in blood, "General Han, Have you ever found the old general Lou Shi?"

The general of the Jin army who desperately killed Wanyan Zongbi was Han Chang, Wanyan Zongbi's subordinate.

At this time, Han Chang was like a blood man, with a few arrows stuck in his body, and even the mount that he stepped down was stained with blood so that he could not see its original color.

After hearing Yan Zongbi's question, Han Chang hurriedly replied: "Fourth prince, the old general Lou Shi's troops are encircled by the Yelu Dashi army, and his life and death are unknown now. Fourth prince, the situation is critical. Go quickly, the last general will stay for you! "

Wanyan Zongbi scolded angrily when he heard the words: "Damn it! If Yeluyu hadn't seen the army fleeing before the battle, how could our army be defeated! General Han, do you matter?"

At this time Han Chang had already dropped the curly blade, took a long spear from the bodyguard, and replied to Wanyan Zongbi: "Fourth Prince, don't worry, none of these arrows hit the vital point."

"It's so good! General Han, you go with me! I swear to God, I will avenge today's revenge!"

Wanyan Zongbi stretched out his hand to hold the reins of Han Chang's war horse, and said firmly.

Han Chang, who originally had a death wish and wanted to stay behind, nodded and said, "Fourth prince, I will go with you! Let's go! If you don't go, the cavalry barbarians from the Nianbage tribe will surround you again." Already!"

"All troops retreat!"

Wanyan Zongbi let out a roar, rode side by side with Han Chang, and led more than 1000 horses to disperse the scattered enemy troops blocking the way, and fled to the south without looking back.

Behind them, thousands of Nianbage cavalry scattered and regrouped, chasing after the Jin army like maggots attached to their bones. Further north, a Liao army cavalry in bright armor also chased them up.

As night fell, the fighting still continued on the grassland at the foot of Wushan Mountain.

……

According to the deployment of Marshal Wanyan Zonghan, the veteran Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Zongbi, and Yelu Yujian should lead [-] elite riders, cross Wushan from the Yanjun Division of Heishui Town in the former Xixia Kingdom to the north, and surprise the Yelu Dashi Army from the west The city of Ketun cut off the way for Yelu Dashi to escape westward.

However, when Wanyan Zonghan's army was still working hard across the desert, Wanyan Loushi's surprise soldiers were exposed for some reason, and were instead ambushed by Yelu Dashi at the foot of Wushan Mountain.

Knowing that the leader of the Jin army is Wanyan Loushi, the Jurchen God of War who once captured him alive on the Longmen Wall, Yelu Dashi personally led a hundred thousand fine horses to ambush him, wanting to avenge his death.

At the same time, Yelu Dashi also mobilized the major tribes in the western part of the Mobei Grassland, such as the Nianbage tribe, the Zubbu tribe, the Jujiasi tribe, the Damili tribe, and the Meiliju tribe, all leading their troops to fight.

When Wanyan Loushi led the troops to the upper reaches of the Wulu River, what was waiting for him was 20 ambush soldiers from Yelu Dashi.

Wanyan Loushi had been through the battlefield for a long time, and with 20 troops and horses facing the [-] cavalry on the Yelu Dashi, he did not panic, but took the fight calmly.

However, something happened to the Yelu Yujian Department of the Jin Army.

Yeluyu saw that he had originally led [-] Khitan cavalry into the battle, but after encountering Yelu Dashi's army, he led his army and horses and fled from the battlefield.

The Jin army suddenly fled [-] soldiers and horses, and suddenly exposed the flaws in the flanks, which were interspersed and separated by the Yelu Dashi army.

Wanyan Loushi's command of the whole army was cut off, and the [-] gold troops fought on their own, falling into chaos.

Yelu Dashi did not pursue and kill the [-] Khitan troops that Yeluyu had seen, but commanded the whole army to attack Wanyan Loushi's department, and wanted to capture Wanyan Loushi alive.

Although Wanyan Zongbi fought bravely, he was outnumbered. After fighting for half a day, he lost his troops and lost his generals, but he still failed to rescue Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan's daughter, father and son.

As a last resort, Wanyan Zongbi could only lead the remnant soldiers to break out to the south.

At this time, Wanyan Loushi, who was wounded dozens of times in the night battle, committed suicide before his strength was exhausted, and refused to surrender to the Liao army.

The eldest son of Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Huonu, who is famous for her bravery, was shot and killed by the Liao army's random arrows in the fierce battle during the day.

The Jin army's expedition suffered an unprecedented defeat.

Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

The first thousand and fifty chapters of Yelu Yujian's entanglement

After Wanyan Loushi's father and son died in battle, the 1000 Jurchen cavalry of the Golden Army were almost wiped out. Only the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi led more than [-] cavalry to break out of the encirclement.

However, the cavalry of the Liao army and the Nianbage tribe seemed to know that it was an important figure of the Jin army who broke through and escaped, and they still pursued Wanyan Zongbi closely.

The Nianbage tribe is the Naiman tribe, the main enemy of later generations who competed with Temujin of the Qiyan tribe for the supremacy of the grassland.

Although the cavalry under Wanyan Zongbi's command were also the elite of the Jin army, they couldn't take advantage of the Nianbage cavalry on this grassland.

Seeing the cavalry of Nianbage's troops biting tightly, General Han Chang knew that the situation was critical.

If you can't get rid of the pursuers behind, once you are entangled by the opponent, the Liao army of Yelu Dashi behind will swarm.At that time, the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi and himself will be trapped here.

Thinking of this, Han Chang yelled at Wanyan Zongbi: "Fourth prince, it's urgent! The general will cover your escape, you must go back alive, kill Yelu Yujian, and avenge us!"

After saying this, without waiting for Yan Zongbi to reply, Han Chang turned his horse's head abruptly, leading hundreds of his own cavalry to charge head-on to the Nianbage cavalry who were chasing them.

"General Han!... Take care, General!..."

Wanyan Zongbi is a bloody person, and when he sees this, he will turn around and rush to kill.However, he suddenly thought of Han Chang's words, and knew that he could not live up to the loyalty of his confidant and beloved general Han Chang at this time, and had to return to Jin Kingdom alive.

Because, this time the Golden Army lost too strangely.

Na Yelu Dashi seemed to know the advance route of the Jin army well, and he was able to accurately command more than [-] troops to set up an ambush here.

Reminiscent of Yelu Yu's abnormal behavior when he saw that the army collapsed without a fight, Wanyan Zongbi had reason to suspect that this Khitan clan nobleman who had surrendered to the Jin Kingdom for many years had a different heart and secretly colluded with Yelu Dashi.

At this time, most of the [-] Jin troops had followed Wanyan Loushi and died in battle, leaving only the hundreds of horsemen around Wanyan Zongbi.

If Wanyan Zongbi died impulsively here, then no one would be able to expose Yelu Yujian's conspiracy!
