Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Marshals Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu of the Jin Army who really commanded troops in the south would not ignore the strength of Qi Ximenqing. Unfortunately, both of them were shamelessly assassinated by Wanyan Wu's begging father and son. So handsome.

Similarly, Qi State and Jin State could trust each other during their honeymoon period because Ximen Qing was the son-in-law of Wanyan Aguda, and also had close personal relationships with Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zonggan.

Now, after Wanyan Wu begged to assassinate Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu, and forced Wanyan Zonggan to rebel, the relationship with Ximenqing was completely broken.

After Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongfu were killed, Ximenqing had the heart of the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Jin.

However, at that time, Jin Guo publicized Wanyan Zonghan's rebellion, and Wanyan Zongfu was also killed by Wanyan Zonghan.Although Ximen Qing didn't believe a word, but after all, he was still a little short of Gong, Zhang Jun and other powerful generals to lead the army as Wanyan Zongbi's lieutenant general.

The [-] troops were stationed in Huazhou on the south bank of the Yellow River, posing as if they could cross the river at any time.

When Yue Fei followed Ximen Qing in a martial arts competition in the Kingdom of Jin to recruit relatives, his bravery was admired by Wanyan Zongbi.This time, Ximen Qing asked him to help Wanyan Zongbi in the battle, and the two felt a sense of sympathy for each other.

Using the famous "Golden Wushu" in historical romances to attack the Kingdom of Jin together with Yue Fei, Ximen Qing satisfies his own bad taste a little bit.

The first thousand and sixty-seven chapters of the confidant

Ximenqing gave Wanyan Zongbi 5 troops just to build momentum for him, but he didn't expect Wanyan Zongbi to rely on these [-] people to push all the way north and defeat the Jin Kingdom with a million troops.

In fact, after Wanyan Zongbi played the banner of revenge, he was not in a hurry to cross the river. Instead, he sent someone to contact Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke on the north bank of the Yellow River, so that these two self-respecting generals could turn to support Own.

At this time, the political influence of Wanyan Zongqian's sacrifice became apparent. The two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu, who had not directly raised troops to respond to Wanyan Shiyema earlier, actually responded to Wanyan Zongbi's call this time. Fight alongside him and clear the temple.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongbi crossed the Yellow River smoothly and entered the territory of Hebei without firing a single arrow.

Wanyan Xiyin also assembled an army of [-], joined forces with Wanyan Zongbi outside Daming City, and together pressed on to Xiongzhou City, preparing to attack Yanjing guarded by Wanyanchang.

After Wanyan Yinshu received food and grass assistance from Qi State, he also led his army across Fenshui to confront Wanyan Xieye army in Taiyuan City, so as to cover the flank of Wanyan Zongbi's coalition army in Hebei.

With Ximen Qing's deliberate promotion, a bigger civil war is about to break out in the Kingdom of Jin.

The participation of the two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke in the battle had already been expected by Ximen Qing and the important officials of Qi State.

After all, after Wanyan Zonghan was killed, the two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu were worried that they would be implicated, so they chose to support themselves to protect themselves.

At that time, the two of them had already broken with the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai in fact, and there was not much retreat.

The reason why the two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu did not fight against the flag immediately was because there was still a lack of a leader who could command the world.

Although Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu are both nobles and veterans of the Wanyan tribe, they are not from the core ruling family, and their appeal to the Jurchens is not enough.

Therefore, although they were dissatisfied with the emperor's killing of Yan Zonghan and worried about their own safety, they still did not directly rebel.

Wanyan Zonghan won the respect of all Jin army officers and soldiers by virtue of his ability, and his family is also the core ruling family of Wanyan tribe.

When Wanyan Zonghan ascended to the top and shouted, he could naturally get the support of the soldiers of the Jin Army.

It's a pity that although Wanyan Zonghan's son Wanyan Sheyema is the grandson of Wanyan Sagai, the son of Wanyan Zonghan, and has the noble blood of Wanyan's family, his ability is relatively mediocre among the Jurchen nobles who are heroes. There is not much prestige in the Jin army.

This is the reason why Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke did not immediately respond to the call after Wanyan Sheyema rebelled with the support of Wanyan Pu's slaves.

The next battle between Wanyan Shema and Yelu Yujian in Datong Mansion also confirmed the judgment of Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke: Wanyan Shema was incompetent and not worth serving.

Compared with his father, Wanyan She was courageous and foolhardy. Although he had tens of thousands of Jin Kingdom's most elite soldiers under his command, he was unable to annihilate Yelu Yujian's army, and finally a stalemate broke out.

If Wanyan Zonghan was still in Datong Mansion, he would have killed the traitor Yelu Yujian long ago, or driven him to the north of the desert to be with Yelu Dashi.

When the Jin army in Taiyuan Mansion has no leader, if it is Wanyan Zonghan, he will annex the army of Taiyuan Mansion without hesitation, linking the territory with Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Xiyin.

However, Wanyan Shema and Wanyan Pujianu did not have this strategic decisiveness, and missed the opportunity of expansion in the early stage of the army.

As a result, Wanyan Xie came later and took control of the army of Taiyuan Mansion in Hedong before Wanyan Shema and Wanyan Pu's slaves.

Now, under the encirclement and attack of the four armies of Wanyan Xieye, Wanyanchang, Wanyan Jiamu, and Yeluyujian, Wanyan Sheye's horse army can only entrenched near the old nest of Datong Mansion, and fell into a strategic passive position. middle.

Prior to this, Ximenqing had received several requests for help from Wanyan Sheyama in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Wanyan set up Yema to ask Uncle Ximenqing to send troops to eliminate Yelu Yujian's tribe as soon as possible, so that he can border Qi and solve his worries.

In the request for help, Wanyan Sheyema promised that after the army of Qi State wiped out Yelu Yujian, all the occupied Xijing Road land would be transferred to Qi State. He only asked Uncle Ximenqing to help him to avenge his father.

Faced with Wanyan Sheyema's sincere invitation, Ximenqing has ordered Wang Jin, Shi Jin, Guan Sheng, Qu Duan from Shaanxi, Han Shizhong from Pingxia, Liu Kai from Hexi and other fierce generals to prepare for the northward march.

When Wanyan Zongbi, who was closer to Ximenqing, led the army to attack Yanjing, Ximenqing finally gave the order to go north to attack Yelu Yujian and rescue Wanyan and set up Yema.

Qi State's Western Army sent three routes together, and Liu Kai commanded [-] troops from Ganzhou along the Heishui River to Heishui City on the left side of the Hexi Road, and attacked the West Road of Yelu Yujian Army. .

The Xingling Road Jinglue in the middle road Han Shizhong and the Jingyuan Road Jinglue Quduan led [-] troops and went northward along the Yellow River to attack Wulahai City in the Hetao Plain and seize the horse breeding land of Yelu Yujian. And threatened the German army from the west.

On the right side is the [-] main force of Wang Jin and Guan Sheng's army. From Yan'an Mansion and Xiazhou, they go northward to attack the Heqing army controlled by Yelu Yujian's army, and attack Yelu Yujian's old nest Tiande army from the south.

Qi State dispatched an army of 15, and rushed towards Jin State's rebellious Yelu Yujian army with a murderous look.

Because it was the rebels of the Jin Kingdom who attacked this time, the Qi Kingdom did not declare war on the Jin Kingdom.

When Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai of the Jin Kingdom got the news that the Qi army "helped" the Jin Kingdom to suppress the rebellion, the Qi army had already entered the territory of the Jin Kingdom and occupied the northern land of the former Xixia Kingdom.

"This cunning Southern Dynasty businessman! I'm going to kill him!"

Wanyan Wu Qimai was so angry that he broke the wine spoon in his hand into several pieces, drew out his waist knife, and roared that he wanted to start a war with Qi!

Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor was angry, Wanyan Wu's begging son and his confidant ministers hurried forward to dissuade him.

Wanyan Wu begged for a Hanchen counselor, Shi Zhong, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shili Ai, Xuanzheng Palace University scholar, Zhi Sansi envoy Zhang Zhongsi, Tong Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhang Shi, Zhi Privy Council official Han Qixian, etc. The minister made suggestions for the emperor, thinking that this is not the time to care about the gains and losses of the remote southwest, and the first thing to deal with is the enemies within the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Sheyema.

Shi Li'ai, Zhang Zhongsi, and Han Qixian were all rich local families in Yanjing, and they did not want Yanjing to fall into the hands of the Southern Army.

Therefore, they all persuaded the emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai to turn the main force in the direction of Yanjing and defeat Wanyan Zongbi's rebels on the front line of Xiongzhou.

Shi Li'ai and the three men begged for Wanyan Wu and analyzed that Wanyan Zongbi represented the lineage of Taizu Emperor Aguda and had great influence among the Jurchens.

Now Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshu and other veteran generals have all joined Wanyan Zongbi's camp, which can be seen from this.

Shi Liai pointed out that Wanyan Zongbi is the confidant who shakes Wanyan Wu's begging father and son's rule, and it must be eradicated with all efforts to avoid further splitting of the Jin Kingdom.

Chapter 68

After listening to the analysis of Shi Li'ai, Zhang Zhongsi, and Han Qixian, Wanyan Wu Qimai was deeply convinced.

At present, the Kingdom of Jin is torn apart and rebels are swarming, but it is Wanyan Zongbi and Ximen Qing behind him who really threaten Wanyan Wu Qimai and Wanyan Zongpan and his son.

"What you dear friends say is true! However, the Khitan people in the territory are rebelling one after another. Although most of them are not successful, they have also hindered the pace of my army going south. Do you have a good strategy?"

Wanyan Wu Qimai asked everyone for advice.
