Great time travel

Chapter No.16, The Sad Golden Army
On the evening of November 22, the first year of Jingkang

On the outskirts of Bianliang, the camp of the Jin Army in Qingchengzhai.

Since the temperature plummeted again, the heavy snow that has lasted for a day and a night has temporarily come to an end, but the clouds in the sky are still heavy.The winter sun is so feeble that even at noon, it cannot penetrate the clouds, and the whole world is still plunged into darkness.

However, completely different from today's gloomy weather, Wan Yan Zonghan, the commander of the Dajin West Route Army, walked briskly, amidst the communication of the guards outside the tent, without waiting for the permission of the tent owner, he opened the curtain and walked into the commander of the East Route Army. Inside Wanyan Zongwang's tent.

As the curtain was raised, Zong Han felt a wave of heat rushing toward his face—not only because of the faint blue flames shining from a pile of high-quality tribute charcoal in two cooked copper stoves seized from a villa in the suburbs, It is also because of the beautiful scenery in the tent that it can make every man burn from the bottom of his heart.

In the tent that is more than ten steps wide, there are more than a dozen beautiful women of different ages dancing.There are only a few strands of tulle on their bodies, and their private parts are flickering as their bodies dance.In the corner of the tent, there is also a beautiful woman playing a pipa and singing a new tune.And Wanyan Zongwang, who was sitting on a soft couch covered with thick layers of sheepskin, was surrounded by five or six half-naked stunning women, pouring wine and vegetables for him.

Zong Han glanced at the mesmerizing scenery in the tent, and laughed loudly, "Wolibu (Zongwang's real name), you really enjoy it!"

Regrettably, even in the midst of this lively and romantic scene, Wanyan Zongwang, the owner of the tent, was still very unhappy... Seeing Zong Han, an uninvited guest When he came to the door suddenly, Zongwang's expression became even more ugly. There was even a bit of anger flashing through his eyes, but he was more ashamed—as the leader of the two largest military and political factions in the Kingdom of Jin, and the leader of the future The two powerful contenders for the throne of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Zonghan, commander of the West Route Army, and Wanyan Zongwang, commander of the East Route Army, have always maintained a not-so-good relationship as a competitor and partner.Even in fighting side by side, they never forget to fight and stab each other.

——The early Jurchen Wanyan tribe was originally a very loose tribal alliance. Even if they were brothers, once the family property was divided, they would be two families, so there were many internal conflicts and various factions.

Among them, the two most powerful factions are Aguda and Wu Qimai. However, since Wu Qimai ascended the throne, in order to pave the way for his son, he has suppressed Wanyan Zongwang and others after Aguda, making this faction gradually popular. signs of separation.The other is Wanyan Zonghan's lineage, which is extremely popular in the world. Before the attack on the Song Dynasty, Zonghan's faction had already controlled the Datong Mansion in Xijing, and had the right to appoint officials to fight on its own. It was known as the Western Court and was very powerful. .Afterwards, Wanyan Zonghan repeatedly made great achievements in the war against the Song Dynasty, especially Wanyan Loushi, a heroic general under his command, fought against the overwhelming soldiers of the Song Dynasty with a force of 20. In the series of battles, every battle must be won, annihilating more than [-] Guanxi Forbidden Army in the Song Dynasty. The military exploits can be said to be unprecedented, which made Zong Han's West Route Army further increase in prestige, and it has reached an uncontrollable level.

Therefore, the struggle between these two factions has always been very fierce. The Eastern Route Army considers itself to be the direct line of the royal family, but was secretly suppressed by the emperor Wanyan Wu begging for money. Bohai people, Xi people and even Korean people are a motley crew.The West Route Army not only far surpasses the East Route Army in terms of record, but also possesses far more Jurchen fine cavalry than the East Route Army, and regards itself as a more authentic Jurchen tradition.

Therefore, the two sides naturally dislike each other, and all kinds of frictions have never subsided.

——According to the original history, not long after the Northern Song Dynasty was conquered, Zong Wang would die in the assassination of Zong Han...

Of course, now that Bianliang has not fallen, and the Song Dynasty still exists, their disputes have not yet heated up, but the full malice of each other is also obvious.

"...It's not as happy as you are! Nianhan (Zong Han's real name), I heard that you recently got the famous prostitutes in Tianshui Lane in Tokyo City, all of whom are one of the best beauties in a hundred? Why bother to be envious My gain?"

Zong Wang waved his hands to the women while speaking indifferently, "...you all go down!"

When the women heard the words, as if they were pardoned, they hurriedly put on the clothes thrown on the ground, and fled the tent in a hurry-like all barbaric peoples in this era, the Jurchens are also moody, treat women like playthings, and are still very worthless That kind... Ever since the Jin army entered Bianliang City, hundreds of female corpses were thrown out every day in the Jin army camp in Qingchengzhai!
Although Zongwang was famous for his benevolence in the Kingdom of Jin, and was praised by the Jurchens as the "Prince Bodhisattva", for these Song women who were taken into captivity, they were still companions to the king like a tiger, and there were always tragic accidents. Dangerous - not to mention that he was in a terrible mood right now.

And Zong Han still didn't forget to laugh and pinch these women's chests or buttocks a few times, taking advantage of it, and then dragged a brocade futon, and Shi Shiran sat down with a golden knife, and said with a smile, "... ...Wo Libu, has the mess caused by Guo Yaoshi's three surnamed slaves been taken care of?"

"...It has already been dealt with! They are all a bunch of unfamiliar wolf cubs! It makes people want to kill them all!"

Wanyan Zongwang snorted dispiritedly, as if he had expected that Wanyan Zonghan would bring up this bad luck.

Speaking of which, for Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun's sudden rebellion this time, whether it was Wanyan Zongwang who was caught off guard, or Wanyan Zonghan who was gloating at other people's misfortunes, there was a feeling of inexplicability, or inconceivable weirdness.

——In the past when the Jurchens raised their troops, during the Great War between the Jin and the Liao Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom suffered successive defeats. The elite soldiers and strong generals were completely lost, and most of the land in Liaodong was lost.In order to replenish its troops, the Khitan court began to recruit Han and Bohai refugees who fled from Liaodong, and formed a "resentment army", which was later renamed the Changsheng Army, with Guo Yaoshi and other northern Han heroes as generals. With the help of these Liaodong refugees' grievances against the Jurchens, a team of brave troops was created.

However, this "army of resentment", or the ever-victorious army, seems to have had a rebellion in the back of its head since the formation of the army, and was scolded by the Khitan people as "not resenting the Jurchen, but resenting the country"-Guo Yaoshi first led the Chang The victorious army turned and surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which dealt a fatal blow to the crumbling Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty rewarded him greatly and relied on it as the Great Wall of the North.

The reason why the Song Dynasty donated so generously was that it was hoped that Guo Yaoshi would repay his kindness and guard the northern frontier for the Song Dynasty.Unexpectedly, when the Jin soldiers went south, Guo Yaoshi immediately turned his back and surrendered to Yan Zongwang, became the leader of the Jin soldiers to attack the Song Dynasty, and once again bit the former benefactor... Since the outbreak of the Song and Jin wars, the two Jin soldiers In the second southern expedition to Bianliang, Guo Yaoshi's Changsheng army was a vanguard, burning, killing, looting, massacring villages and burning cities, doing all kinds of evil. The hatred is probably still above the Jurchens.

If such a guy would change his banner and vote for the Song Dynasty, especially when the Song Dynasty was about to collapse, no one in the world would believe it.

——The problem is, under Doraemon's magical props of causality [Lies come true mouth], there has never been anything impossible.

In this way, just this afternoon, Guo Yaoshi did not know what medicine he had taken wrongly, but unexpectedly summoned his own soldiers and generals, and announced that he would defect and return to the Song Dynasty. The other part of the guys with ulterior motives saw the hope of ascending to the top... So, before Guo Yaoshi's rebellion had time to start, he himself was captured by several victorious generals who had different intentions. Next, these generals and schools sent troops to control the large tent of the Chinese army of the Changsheng Army and disarmed Guo Yaoshi's personal soldiers.

Afterwards, these generals and schools combined together, and they simply did not stop doing one thing, while leading troops to control their colleagues, and gathered the military power of the Ever Victorious Army into their own hands, while beheading Guo Yaoshi, and sending people to sacrifice it to Dong Lu The commander-in-chief of the army, Wanyan Zongwang, asked for credit in order to be recognized and canonized by the Jinren.

But the problem is, precisely because Guo Yaoshi's rebellion was too nonsensical, completely illogical and unreasonable, Wanyan Zongwang didn't believe the words of these generals of the ever-victorious army at all, but suspected that they conspired to kill the boss , and then make up an excuse indiscriminately to perfuse myself... Obviously, this trend must not rise. If the soldiers and horses of all ethnic groups in the entire Eastern Route Army follow suit, the small school below will just make up an untenable For some reason, he chopped off the head of his own general and came here to ask for credit. How can he lead the team of the general?Simply kill each other every day!

——Even if it is the cannon fodder team in the eyes of the Jurchens, they can't let them waste it like this!

Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang pretended to praise them for their "contribution" to set things right, and at the same time tricked these guys who killed Guo Yaoshi into the army tent and took them down. Wanyan Zongwang finally managed to stabilize the situation, but the Ever Victorious Army had already been dissociated from morality, and it was basically abolished.As for whether Guo Yaoshi really wanted to rebel, no one could tell.

Such an inexplicable commotion caused Wanyan Zongwang a headache, and the resulting chaos in the army added huge variables to the upcoming siege of Bianliang... No wonder he cleaned up the mess after , I will sullenly hide and drink alone.

And Zong Han didn't forget to come over and make fun of his old enemy after hearing the news.

However, no matter how bad the mood is, the current battle still has to be fought.

Therefore, after arguing with Zong Han for a few words, Zong Wang still straightened his face and talked about the next siege plan.

"...The day before yesterday, I pretended to negotiate peace with the Song people to paralyze the defenders. At the same time, I gathered all kinds of troops scattered in Henan and Hebei to prepare for a decisive battle."

Pointing to a sand table model of Bianliang City on the table in front of him, Wanyan Zongwang talked eloquently, "...At present, the armies of Luoyang and Hebei have gathered under Bianliang City, and the siege equipment is also complete. The commander plans to start tomorrow Early in the morning, with the Changsheng soldiers as the vanguard, the ants attached to the city wall and stormed Bianliang! If you win, you will destroy the city and overthrow the Song Dynasty. If you lose, you can also eliminate the hidden dangers of our army, and at the same time consume the strength and morale of the Song people..."

"...That's a very kind statement! It can be said to be the best of both worlds!" Zong Han clapped his hands and laughed, "...It's just that this impromptu deployment seems to have yet to be destroyed..."

However, before he could finish his sentence, the two people in the tent felt the ground shake violently at the same time.

The wine jar on the desk fell down with a "clack", and the clear shochu poured out, soaking a large area of ​​the valuable camel wool carpet.Zong Han, who reacted quickly, was about to stand up while supporting the table, but the table suddenly toppled over, causing him to fall too...

When the ground cracked and the entire tent collapsed, Zong Han finally heard the panicked shouts outside:

"...Run! Everyone, run out! It's the Dire Dragon!"
