Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

With the help of two desperate monks from Fahua Temple, Zengtou City won its first victory against Liangshan bandits.

It is a pity that Zengtou City was later attacked by Liangshan bandits led by Song Jiang, and the monks of Fahua Temple were also destroyed, and all died heroically.

……

Ximen Qing has traveled through time, so naturally he will not let such a tragedy happen again.

After entering Zengtou City, Ximenqing visited the elder Zeng Nong again, and finally met the hero Shi Wengong, the five tigers of the Zeng family, and Su Ding, the assistant coach in Zengfu.

The Zeng Mansion held a grand banquet to receive the visiting Ximen Qing and his party.During the dinner, Shi Wengong knew that Ximen Qing had come to visit for the second time, just because after seeing him, he was very moved and became very affectionate to Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing knew from the chat that Shi Wengong and others bought more than 200 good horses from the Liao Kingdom in the north this time, and formed a rather capable cavalry team.

For Ximen Qing, who lacked cavalry, the cavalry in Zengtou City made him very envious.

There is a Jurchen ancestor in the Zeng family, and the tradition of riding and shooting has been preserved from generation to generation.The children of the Zeng family are all good at riding and shooting, so it is not accidental to shoot Chao Gai to death in history.

However, Ximenqing learned from the chats with the Zeng family that Shi Wengong did not have the habit of engraving arrows.On the contrary, Shi Wengong denounced this naive move.

Chapter 125

Shi Wengong boasted to Ximen Qing: "Ximen official, I, Shi Wengong, am not boasting. But with a spear in my hand and a BMW, I can kill him a few times even among thousands of troops. It is easy to kill the general and capture the flag. A real man Facing the battle, fighting against the heroes of the world, Fang showed his true qualities of a hero. Hitting someone in the back is not what a hero does."

This Shi Wengong is highly skilled in martial arts. In history, he once defeated Qin Ming, one of the five tiger generals on Liangshan horse, in [-] rounds.He has an arrogant personality, and he thinks that it is rare to meet an opponent in a direct confrontation on the horse, so he doesn't like to cast cold arrows.

After listening to Shi Wengong's words, Ximen Qing knew that the person who shot Chao Gai to death in history must not be this arrogant Shi Wengong, but someone else.

Someone must have plotted against Chao Gai, and then took the opportunity to blame Shi Wengong.

However, when Ximen Qing travels to this era, it will definitely cause a butterfly effect. Whether there will be a battle between Liangshan and Zengtou City in the future is currently unknown.

Therefore, this rare fierce general Shi Wengong in front of him should not be captured alive by the Liangshan bandits, cut open his heart, and brutally killed him.

Ximen Qing secretly planned to get more in touch with the generals in Zengtou City, especially win over this Shi Wengong, and let them be used by me if I have a chance in the future.

Thinking of the wars that they may participate in in the future, cavalry troops are indispensable.Ximenqing decided to go north to Liao Kingdom, buy some good horses, and build a small cavalry team first, just like Zengtou City.

Both Luan Tingyu and Hu Sanniang are good cavalry generals, their talents should not be wasted.It is necessary to equip them with a cavalry team of hundreds of people first, and let them train in Simon Fort to prepare for future military expansion.

The horses in Ximenbao, Hujiazhuang and Zhujiazhuang are all purchased from horse dealers, and the quantity and quality of the horses are difficult to control.If you go directly to Liao's domestic horse land to choose and buy horses like Zengtou City, you can buy the most suitable horses for cavalry.

With this in mind, Ximenqing told everyone in Zeng's mansion that he wanted to send people north to buy horses in Liao, but he didn't care about the people of Liao. All the way north.

Elder Zeng and teacher Shi Wengong of Zengtou City listened to Ximen Qing's words, and agreed, promising that when they went to the north to buy horses next time, they would definitely send someone to Yanggu County to inform Ximen Qing.

Ximenqing was overjoyed and drank a few cups with Elder Zeng and others.But after drinking with Ximen Qing, Shi Wengong told Ximen Qing what he had seen and heard about going north.

Shi Wengong said with regret that the Liao Kingdom was in chaos at this time, and the court was arresting people everywhere for conscription.As an important material for the war, the sale of horses has also been controlled, and it may not be possible to go north to buy good horses again in the short term.

It turns out that since the Jurchens rose up under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, launched a war of national independence in Liaodong, and defeated 70 Liao troops at Hubudagang, they gained the strategic initiative in the Liaojin War and frequently attacked the Liao Kingdom. launched an attack.

With the repeated defeats of the Liao army, the prestige of the emperor of the Liao Kingdom was repeatedly frustrated, his control over the country declined, and rebellions continued to occur within the Liao Kingdom.

In the first month of the second year of Jinshouguo, Gao Yongchang, a Liaodong general and a native of Bohai, supported himself and occupied more than [-] states in eastern Liaodong.

There is also a historical reason why Gao Yongchang, a good general, was able to make such a big wave.

Liaodong was originally the Bohai State in the Tang Dynasty. It is a multi-ethnic country composed of Bohai people, Jurchen people, Goguryeo people and other ethnic groups.

The Turkic people were defeated and weakened by the Tang Dynasty in the Central Plains. After migrating westward, the Khitan people gradually rose on the grassland, joined forces with the Xi people to establish a new grassland empire, and defeated the Bohai Kingdom in the east.

After the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed by the Liao Dynasty, all the people in the country fled separately.The Bohai people and the Jurchens stayed in the old places of the states near Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom, and accepted the rule of the Khitan people in the Liao Kingdom.

Most of the Jurchens fled to the northeast of the Changbai Mountains, each forming a village to protect themselves.

The ancestor of Wanyan Aguda was an official of Bohai State, with resourcefulness and culture.He fled to the northeast when the Bohai Kingdom fell, and was supported by some primitive and backward Jurchens, and established the Wanyan tribe.

All generations of the Wanyan family have never forgotten the hatred of destroying the country, and have been gradually accumulating strength under the oppression and surveillance of the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, waiting for the day when the Khitans' rule will be overthrown.

Wanyan Aguda showed heroic talent and vigor when he was young. His grandfather once prophesied with relief that what happened to Tuliao would be done on Aguda.It can be seen from this that the Jurchens, especially the Wanyan tribe, have passed down from generation to generation the desire to overthrow the rule of the Liao Kingdom.

After Wanyan Aguda inherited the position of tribal leader, he really lived up to the expectations of his father and grandparents and resolutely rebelled against the Liao Dynasty.

Although the Jurchens had only 500 troops when they raised their troops, they were weak, but under the leadership of the talented Wanyan Aguda, they successively won the Battle of Ningjiang Prefecture, the Battle of Chuhedian, the Battle of Dalu Ancient City and the Battle of the Guards. The victory in the Battle of Liao defeated the 70 army of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, and completely shaken the rule of the Liao Kingdom in the Liaodong area.

It was in such a chaotic situation that Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, also took the opportunity to support himself.

Among the Bohai people, there are also many people who, like the Wanyan tribe of the Jurchens, have not given up their dream of destroying Liao and restoring the country.

Gao Yongchang was born in the famous Gao family in Bohai, the largest prominent family in Bohai, and a descendant of the monarch of Bohai.Naturally, there was a dream of restoring the country hidden in his heart.

After Wanyan Aguda led the Jurchens to defeat the main force of the Khitans of the Liao Kingdom, Gao Yongchang believed that the time had come to restore the country, so he occupied Tokyo in the Liao Kingdom in the first month of the sixth year of Liao Tianqing, and supported himself.

Because of the appeal of the Gao family in Bohai, people in Bohai, Liaodong, responded to Gao Yongchang one after another.Soon after, Gao Yongchang captured more than [-] states of Dongdong Road in Liao Kingdom.

Gao Yongchang suddenly acquired so many lands and cities, and was dazzled by the victory, thinking that God would bless him to restore his country.Therefore, he established the Great Yuan State, calling himself the "Emperor of the Great Bohai Sea", intending to restore the ancestral Bohai State.

Emperor Liao Tianzuo naturally couldn't tolerate such a clown appearing under his nose.If I can't beat Wanyan Aguda, can't I beat you, a little general?

Emperor Tianzuo successively sent Zhang Lin and Yeluchun to recruit troops to suppress Gao Yongchang.Faced with the pressure from the Liao Kingdom, Gao Yongchang sent envoys to the Jin Kingdom for help, and wanted to join forces with the Jin Kingdom Aguda to destroy the Liao Kingdom, but was rejected by the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Agu beat such a hero, he raised troops to fight against the Liao Dynasty, in order to overthrow the emperor who was riding on his head, not to change the emperor to ride on his head.

Gao Yongchang couldn't see the situation clearly, he pretended to be the emperor, and imagined that he could get the support of the Jurchen, the commander of Wanyan Aguda, to revive the Bohai Kingdom.

In April of the sixth year of Liao Tianqing, Wanyan Aguda ordered Gao Yongchang to cancel the title of emperor, but Gao Yongchang refused.Wanyan Aguda immediately ordered Wulu to lead the internal and external armies to attack Gao Yongchang.

Wulu led his army to the south, and first encountered the Liao army in Shenzhou.The Jin army defeated the Liao army and conquered Shenzhou.

Gao Yongchang led his army to fight against the Jin army in Warli running water.Jin Jiang's mother took advantage of the situation and led the army to forcibly cross the river, defeating Gao Yongchang's army at Shoushan.

Gao Yongchang led the remnants of the army to retreat to the city of Tokyo, and all the soldiers in the city fought a decisive battle with the Jin army, and they were defeated again.The Jin army took advantage of the victory to capture Tokyo and killed Gao Yongchang.

Punching the Khitan people and kicking the Bohai people, the Jurchens of this era are in full swing, they can't be more dicks!

Chapter 126

In the battle where the Jin army wiped out Gao Yongchang from Bohai, Shenzhou City in the Liao Kingdom was taken as an unlucky stumbling block by the Jin army.

Zhang Lin, commander-in-chief of the defenders of Shenzhou City, was unanimously criticized by officials of the Liao Kingdom for losing Shenzhou City.

Therefore, the Khitan nobles of the Liao Kingdom unanimously and strongly demanded: Hanchen is not the most useful in fighting against the Jin Kingdom, but the Khitan nobles are effective.The emperor's uncle Yeluchun should be allowed to lead the army to conquer the Kingdom of Jin.

At the suggestion of the Khitan nobles, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom appointed Yeluchun as the Marshal of the capital and allowed him to recruit "resentful troops" in Liaodong.

After the rise of the Kingdom of Jin, the Khitan nobles and the Liao army in Liaodong fled one after another.The people of Liaodong became refugees, suffering from displacement, hunger and cold.

In order to survive, they turned to the army one after another.
