Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 702 Yan Yun (22)

Zhao Mingcheng's proposal reminded Emperor Lu of a person——Hu Cheng.This guy has been working as a transfer envoy for so many years, and it's time to move his position.The status, qualifications, and official position are all suitable.

I was just afraid that Hu Cheng had never been a political officer, and I was afraid that he might not be able to handle it.

And thinking about it this way, there are a few people at the top of the court who need to move their positions.Like Fan Duan, Jiang Jing, Xue Shao, even Pei Xuan...

But these cannot be finalized overnight.Emperor Lu still needs to think carefully.

Leaving aside matters in Yanjing City, the replacement of the five provincial governors is urgent, but just like the situation in Xijing Road, no matter how urgent the Emperor Lu is, he can't be in a hurry.The matter of Xijing Road is too far away, Emperor Lu has not even got the news that Emperor Tianzuo is not really captured, some decisions are wrong, but he is still at a loss, everything can only wait for the real information to come. We'll talk when we get there.

Therefore, there are so many things in the world that there is really no rush.This is not only the reason why he can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, but also the limitation of the times, and he has already adapted to it.Now Emperor Lu can only talk about Yuguan!

Yuguan is also different from Shanhaiguan in later generations. Although they all refer to one place, even some reports in later generations clearly say that Shanhaiguan was once called Yuguan.But if you look carefully at the geographical descriptions contained in the books, you can find that the two are not the same.

Looking at the actual situation, the terrain around Yuguan is indeed not as dangerous as that of Shanhaiguan in later generations, and it can be tightly guarded between the mountains and the sea. according to.Because the records of "Yuguan" are always connected with "jieshi".Jieshi Mountain, which straddles Pingzhou and Yingzhou and occupies the west entrance of the Liaoxi Corridor, is like a natural barrier between the Yanshan Mountains and the coast of the Bohai Sea.The danger of Yuguan depends on this natural danger.

That's why, the Jin army at the northern end of the Liaoxi Corridor is "like a broken bamboo", facing the danger of Yuguan, it is beyond its power.Because the thunderbolt cannon in their hands has no substantial effect on the natural danger of Yuguan.

On an official road to the south of Yuguan, a large and mighty team came this day.

The distance gradually shortened, and the white banner raised high by the leading team was clearly visible, and under the banner was the Jurchen with a fierce expression.

The Jurchens were ferocious, and the Liao people were afraid of them. Even though they had just been hit by Emperor Lu in the east of Yanjing City and nearly lost half of their lives, the Jurchens still had a psychological advantage over the Khitans, and they were a head above their own.

Even though they were walking in the territory of the Khitan people, these Jurchens still rode their horses at will, only to hear the sound of galloping, and they stepped on the road from far to near.

The horseshoes kicked up the dust, revealing Jurchens wearing fur hats.This is the cold winter season, the climate is dry, and there is still a large amount of silvery white snow on the top of the mountain in the distance, but there is no trace of snow on the official road where there are many cars and horses.The originally frozen and hard road surface was also covered with smoke and dust.These Jurchens wore thick armor, carried swords and bows, and held high flags.Whenever they met pedestrians, they all shouted, shouted, and even whipped, and rode along all the way with an extremely arrogant and rude expression.

It seems that they are not the missions who came to visit, but the masters who went to visit their own land.

This Jurchen cavalry only consisted of a mere 100 people, protecting the Wanyan Pujia slaves and Gao Qingyi in the middle.The death of Wanyan Xiyin was a great loss to the entire Dajin Kingdom.Behind him were hundreds of Khitan cavalry.But the Jurchen didn't look scared at all.

100 people were fully armed and rushed to Linyu Town to protect Wanyan Pujia slaves and Gao Qingyi.It is also the seat of the county seat of Linyu County in the Qing Dynasty.

It was cold winter, the wind was biting, and the ground was icy cold. There were no people around Linyu Town Avenue. Except for the local residents, few people were still wandering outside.

But anyway, Linyu Town is lively.When the sound of hoofbeats came from the north, a group of Jurchens could be seen from a distance, if there were a large number of Khitan soldiers waiting outside the town, there would be chaos in Linyu Town.But even so, the shops on both sides of the street were closed one after another, and there was no one on the street.

It's too late, but it's fast.In the blink of an eye, Wanyan Pujianu and Gao Qingyi had already been sent to Yelv Mawu.

The latter was also a member of the Liao clan and a general who fought on the battlefield. After surrendering to the Jin army in official history, he was Jin Wushu's capable general who defeated Wu Jie's army in Longzhou. , The first 500 fine riders galloped to the city of Yangzhou, scared Zhao Jiumei hurried across the river.

He is the Jin Wuwei General of the Kingdom of Jin and one of the founding heroes.

But no matter how much Yelu Mawu has worked for the Kingdom of Jin in the official history, this cannot erase his identity as the clan of the Liao Kingdom, nor can it erase his hatred for Jurchen at this moment.

In the official history, Yelu Mawu could only surrender to the Jurchens, but now, he has a second choice and can surrender to a new target.Not only did Lu Qi from the Central Plains have less hatred towards him, he was also more powerful and powerful, and his long-term future was far better than that of the Jurchens.

But when Jurchen sent envoys, Yelv Ma Wu still saw her.Just in Linyu Town.

In fact, Yang Lin sent by Emperor Lu is also in Linyu Town at this moment.

Although Yelu Mawu is now [-]% out of [-] against Lu Qi, he is still willing to put on a show.At least he could let Emperor Lu see that he was not a poor wretch that no one wanted.

Wanyan Pu's slaves and Gao Qingyi are still full of confidence, they don't believe the news from the Khitan population.It is possible that His Majesty (Aguda) was defeated, but the Jurchen army has won all the way to today, how could it be possible that the main force of the [-]-step cavalry was completely destroyed in the first battle?
How can the enemy's words be taken seriously?

They thought in their hearts that this was a rumor deliberately released by the Khitan people to confuse their soldiers.

At this time, just as Emperor Lu still didn't know that Emperor Tianzuo hadn't been captured, they didn't know how miserable Aguda's defeat in the east of Yanjing City was.

There was an asymmetry of information between the two sides, and the truth was treated as a lie. Yelv Mawu was naturally prepared for this situation, but he was helpless.

What I said was true or false was taken as a lie by the enemy, no matter how I explain it, I can’t explain it, and I am also very helpless!
Listening to the wind outside, there was no sound in the hall, and the few people standing were silent.

This is probably the person in command of the army. Yelv Mawu heard the news from Yang Lin, and they could understand it clearly. Thinking the same way, his complexion looks a little better.However, Yang Lin was still there, and they didn't want to say more at this time, which annoyed Yang Lin, but they were dragged out of the list in the future.

"Mr. Yang, how about seeing the Jurchen envoys with Ma Wu?" Yelu Ma Wu was very concerned. He can now submit to the Qi Dynasty in the Central Plains. Worry about life.But the news from the Jurchen is also attractive. They don't require themselves to join the Jurchen, but the two sides can join forces.Emperor Tianzuo has been captured by Jurchen, the Liao and Jin family.

Therefore, this has forced the current camp state affairs and the upcoming threat of the Central Plains soldiers and horses, and the two sides can join hands to deal with the enemy.Retire the Qi army first and then talk about other things.

Yeluma had secretly discussed this matter with his confidant general Wuzao, which disappointed the Jurchens, who didn't trust them at all.

Just like Liu Shouwen in the early Five Dynasties, the son of Liu Rengong, the envoy of Lulong Jiedu in Youzhou.He imprisoned his father and established himself as the envoy of Lulong Jiedu. He first retreated Li Si'an, the general of Zhu and Wen, and then fought against Li Cunxu, the king of Jin. The role of the military town, and soon fell into the Khitan's territory.

"The sign of the previous car is the teacher of the future, and this matter needs to be discussed in the long run!" Said the 30-year-old general of Yeluma's fifth subordinate. "And the Qi army has many generals and great strength. Even if it is temporarily frustrated, how difficult is it to mobilize a large army to make a comeback? At that time, there will be strong enemies outside our army, and Jurchens will be at work inside. I'm afraid it will be taken over by gold thieves in the blink of an eye."

"General. It's easy to ask gods to send gods away. The gold thieves are tyrannical, cruel, and cunning. Let them enter the pass. How do you know that it's not a false plan to destroy the country?" This elm pass is of great importance.Back then, the Central Plains dynasty relied on Beihu, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties fought fiercely with Khitan and Goguryeo many times here. But the same thing is, if this place is captured by the Jin army outside the pass, it can also become a treasure for them to resist the Central Plains army.

As the five armies of Yeluma, apart from the tens of thousands of soldiers, the most precious capital, Yuguan must not be lost.

Several generals thought that it was better to be still than to move, so they just waited for the Jurchen envoy to come and see what Yang Lin's response would be.

That's why Yelu Mawu invited Yang Lin today, and the latter naturally has nothing to do with it.

"I, Khitan, and Jurchen are mortal enemies, let's tell them to come forward today, but let's see why these savages came to see me!..."

Once Yelu Mawu's order was given, it was passed on layer by layer.

The 100-member Jurchen Mission was finally able to enter the hall with only Wanyan Pujianu and Gao Qingyi.

The hundred cavalry outside were heavily surrounded and guarded by Khitan soldiers whose strength was far greater than theirs.These Jurchens were not afraid of death. Seeing this formation, although there were only a hundred of them, their expressions remained unchanged, and they still looked arrogantly at the Khitan soldiers around them.

Yelu Mawu became angry when he saw Wanyan Pu's slaves. When the bilateral truce was earlier, this fellow traveled between Liao and Jin many times. At that time, the Khitan was weak and weak, and suffered a lot at the hands of Pu's slaves.

In the hall, Ma Wugao sat in the middle, with some generals on both sides, and armored guards on the left and right. There was a sense of solemnity in the entire hall.

As soon as Pu Jianu and Gao Qingyi walked in from the outside, everyone's eyes fell on them.

But I have to say that the Jurchens are confident, and under the gaze of everyone, Wu's demeanor is calm, and there is no trace of restraint.

"General Ma Wu, I am ordered by the governor of Wulu to tell you. My majesty is ordered to rule the outside of the Great Wall and become the co-lord of the northern land! Moreover, your majesty has always cherished talents, valued talents, and every time you meet a hero Don't hesitate to reward, the general will surrender to my lord as he wishes, and he will be the duke of the country! This is also the love of Wulu Dutong. General Yelu must know it clearly. Resist stubbornly, when our army attacks, you will surely burn everything, and by then it will be too late to regret!..."

Compared with the promise brought by Yang Lin, in addition to the news of the joint venture that the Jurchens leaked secretly, the capital on the surface is undoubtedly even richer.Duke, how many Dukes are there in Daqi?Ten thousand rounds are less than Yelvma Wu.

This Wulu Dutong is Wanyan Wulu, who was the son of the Jurchen clan who replaced Wanyan Wusai and beat up the Koreans.You can also tell from the name, there is a word for good office, this is Aguda's cousin.He is also the father of Gaitian King Wanyan Saili who has appeared twice in the previous article.

In April of the second year of receiving the country (1116), Agu issued an imperial edict to lead the army, together with Wanyan Jiamu, Wanyan Pucha, and Wanyan Digunai, and united with the capital of Xianzhou Road to rule Wanyan and Lugu, etc. , Conquer Gao Yongchang [Liao Dongdong Road].Since it is a big victory all the way.

The reason why he was not heard about later was mainly because Aguda asked him to sit in his hometown and suppress the tribes in the far north.This time Aguda led a main force composed of elite soldiers and generals into Nanjing Road, but he wanted to compete with the Central Plains.Wanyan Oru then replaced Nian Meihe and became the commander of the Southeast Road. He commanded Jinzhou soldiers and horses, suppressed the Jinxi Corridor, and threatened Yuguan.If Nian didn't drink [Nianhan], he went to Aguda's place.

Ma Wu laughed, but his face was ashen, and the two hands holding the armrest were pale and blue-veined.Even Emperor Lu's taste gave him enough respect, how could he persuade him to surrender with an order like this Pujia slave?
The Jurchens expected him to be at the end of his life, so they were so rude just now, directly intimidated and lured him, and treated him like a fish.Hateful, hateful!

"What an idiot, how dare you insult me ​​so far." A general standing beside him shouted immediately, and even pulled out his saber from his waist.

Yelu Ma Wu glanced at Yang Lin whose expression had not changed, and was even more annoyed in his heart. He was stealing chickens and losing money, but he made people see a joke.

"Tie them up. As well as those gold thieves outside the mansion, I will take them all with me."
