Great Song Pirate

Chapter 677
Ma Zhe paused, let Xu Yi digest what he said before, took a cup of tea from the short table beside him, took a sip, then sorted out his thoughts, and continued to Xu Yi:

"Not to mention the Zongwang army in the south and Zonghan and Zongpan's army in the north, I guess they would be powerless even if they heard that Dading Mansion was taken by us now, and they would be able to hug their own buttocks and not get beaten. , is already pretty good!
Then only Zongfu's soldiers and horses are left that can threaten us. Due to the restraint of the two lines, the number of soldiers and horses under Zongfu's men is actually not too many. This time he set off from Dading Mansion to attack Jinzhou City. He only brought [-] soldiers and horses, so he knew what he was in trouble for. With Fang Youren's ability, it should be no problem to delay them in Jinzhou for ten days and a half months, and Sun Commander's navy is not idle. Find a way to support Jinzhou. If Zongfu can't take down Jinzhou in a short time, he can only choose to retreat. In addition, knowing that the Dading Mansion has fallen into our hands, this is his grave crime, so he will gather the Zhongjing Road at all costs. Soldiers and horses are here to besiege Dading Mansion, so the only thing we have to worry about now is Zongfu's soldiers and horses!
As for Wanyan Zongfu, I have already known this person. When Zongwang led his troops to the south for the first time, he was Zongwang's deputy commander of the left army. Smart and wise, he has made great contributions to the establishment of the country, and is an opponent that should not be underestimated. The reason why we took advantage of this loophole this time is probably because the Lord led his troops to attack Laizhou and Pingzhou last year. After laying down an important place like Jinzhou City, Wanyan Zongfu, who was in charge of defending the Zhongjing Road, lost face, so in a rage, he took time out of Dading Mansion's troops and let us seize it.

Although Zongfu can be regarded as a famous general of Daikin, his current situation is very difficult, not to mention his limited force, if he wants to gather a force capable of conquering Dading Mansion, it may not be possible in a day or two. Moreover, the lord has an important advantage in his hands. Don't forget, Zongsuke's wife and children are all in our hands now!
Even if he really comes to attack Dading Mansion, I'm afraid that when we push his wife and children to the city, this guy will be wary and his mind will be confused!

More importantly, we may not necessarily fight alone in Dadingfu as the lord said! "After saying this, Ma Zhe stopped talking again and took a sip of water.

Xu Yi frowned and nodded, then shook his head and said: "Your analysis is good. Think about it carefully. This is indeed the case. We raided Jinzhou this time, sneaked into the hinterland of Jinren, and captured Dading Mansion. As expected, it will let us succeed in one blow!
But what you said is that we may not fight alone here, this king is not very clear!Will someone come to help us?Haven't heard of any other forces nearby? "

"Hehe! My lord's words are different! My lord, don't forget, what you said yourself, the biggest power in this world is not the imperial court or someone's family, but the common people! The biggest power around here should not be the Jinrenhe We, but the local people!

From the fact that the people of Dading Mansion angrily killed the Jurchens this time, we know that the Jurchens have harmed the common people here all these years. Otherwise, how could the common people treat them like this?And because the Dading Mansion wanted to support the Jin Army's conquest of the Song Dynasty, most of the Jin Army's food and grass supplies were collected from the Dading Mansion area. The Jin people's rule here was not long, and it can be said that the foundation was not stable. The Jin people have never stopped fighting, and implemented the Meng'an Muke system in the territory of the Jin Kingdom. The Jurchens are all nobles, and the common people are their slaves. This area is used to the rule of the Sinicized Khitans of the Liao Kingdom. The common people almost hated them to death!

The reason why the common people did not dare to rebel in the past was because the Jin army was too powerful, and their Liao Emperor was also captured by the Jin people. Once the Liao Kingdom was destroyed, the people of the old Liao had no one to be loyal to and no one to rely on. The power exists, so I dare not rebel on a large scale!

But the situation is different now, the lord's reputation has already shaken the world, not to mention that everyone in the Song Dynasty knows everyone, even the people in the Kingdom of Jin know everyone, who can meet the Jin army's cutting edge , Daliao can't do it, and Song can't do it either. Only the lord's Fubo army can beat the powerful army of the Dajin Kingdom to pieces, and they are almost invincible. Moreover, the lord's policy of benefiting the people in Liaodong has won the hearts of the people and has long been popular. Through Yu Fuhai's subordinates, everyone knows about the Great Jin Kingdom. It may be that you, the lord, don't know about this matter. In fact, the people of the old Liao Dynasty in many places are eagerly waiting for the lord to lead his troops to attack them!

Now that the lord has conquered the Dading Mansion in one fell swoop, the news will soon spread. I dare to say that as long as the lord ascends to the top and shouts, the old Liao people in the Zhongjing Road area will immediately rise up and respond to the lord. In this way, the lord How can you still fight alone?No matter how many Jurchens there are, can there be more Han and Khitan people in this area?
Don't forget the lord, there are quite a few people in the city who have already killed the Jurchens and received rewards from the lord, but they have no way out!I can only go down with you, my lord!
These people will be a great help to the lord. They have many relatives inside and outside the city. As long as they go out and contact the people nearby in the name of the Fubo Army, the Zhongjing Road will be full of flames and smoke. Those who are like clouds!hey-hey! "

Ma Zhe twirled his goatee, showed a sinister smile proudly, took out a dozen papers from his arms, unfolded them and placed them in front of Xu Yi, on which were densely recorded the names of those who received rewards from Fubo Army List, after patting a bit, Ma Zhe laughed.

Xu Yi couldn't help feeling elated, this guy is really a sinister man!This list is equivalent to tying many ordinary people in the city to the chariots of the Fubo army. If the Fubo army is defeated, this list is enough for the Jin people to kill these people and even all their relatives. So they had to follow the Fubo army, and they had no way out!
No wonder Ma Zhe strongly advocated that he should be responsible for distributing the bounty in the morning. It turned out that this guy had already been thinking about this idea!No wonder people say that scholars are great, and this guy Ma Zhe is definitely a hooligan. As the saying goes, hooligans are not terrible, what is terrible is that hooligans are educated!And Ma Zhe is just a cultured hooligan!Xu Yi couldn't help but sweat profusely.

At dawn the next day, Xu Yi ordered the Fubo Army to put up posters everywhere in the city. First, he expressed his attitude, saying that the Fubo Army would not give up Dading Mansion, and would live and die with Dading Mansion, and the common people in the city. !The second is to publish a list of densely packed names of people, saying that it is a reward for the common people who bravely killed the Jurchen dog yesterday, and will give these people additional rewards and so on.

The famous people on the list secretly cheered for a while, and waited with great anticipation for the new rewards to be delivered to them, but after thinking about it carefully, they felt that the matter was not so simple. No matter what Fu Bojun said, there were only ten thousand rewards People, once the Jin army comes to attack in a big way, if they are defeated, or if they slip away with oil on their feet, wouldn't they be completely finished?Once Jin Jun returns, how can he let them off who dare to kill the Jurchens?Smarter people soon figured out why Fu Bojun did this, and suddenly became a little scared, but at this time, fear is useless!They have done everything, even if Fu Bojun did not publish this list, then what they did yesterday, the neighbors and neighbors will know, and they can't hide it if they want to!

So these people are going all out, as long as the Fubo Army can defend Dading Mansion, then they and their relatives will be fine, if the Fubo Army fails or escapes, then they can only die together, or simply follow along Run down.

Immediately afterwards, the Fubo Army announced that it would recruit Minzhuang to help the Fubo Army prepare for the defense of the city, and cooperate with the Fubo Army to defend Dading Mansion. The scene was very different. Wanyan Jiamu worked hard all day and recruited less than 2 civilians. Finally, under the reactionary propaganda of Fubo Army, she mutinied on the top of the city and became the enemy of the Jin Army. Today, the Fubo Army's recruitment order was issued, and the number of people who signed up was surging. In just one day, more than [-] civilians were recruited from the city. There are nearly [-] people pieced together, which is much more than the number of the third division.

On the third day, Ma Zhe personally selected a group of famous or well-connected people from these local people, gathered them together, gave them a lecture, showed an amiable attitude, encouraged them repeatedly, and let them go out of the city to Zhongjing Road Everywhere, where they are familiar with, they contacted more old Liao people to rise up, for their own sake, to overthrow the rule of the Jurchens!

And Ma Zhe also told them, don't be afraid of the lack of people, as long as someone is willing to rebel, they can come to Dading Mansion to eat food, or attack the government of the Jin Kingdom locally, and attack and kill the local Jurchens, such as the home of Meng'an Mouke Wait, in short, as long as it is something that can cause trouble for the Jin people, let them let them go and just do it. Once they succeed in the future, King Jinghai will definitely reward them for their merits and promise that they will not treat them badly.

Under the instigation of Ma Zhe, these people were excited by his three-inch tongue like a reed, and they all said that there was no problem, and they would follow the Fubo army in the future!
After getting their guarantee, Ma Zhe took out a large stack of appointment letters, in duplicate, filled in their names, and asked each of them to sign and sign. The head of the Fubo Army was ordered to go out as the Fubo Army to contact the people of the old Liao Dynasty to rebel, and then each of them received a sum of money to fund their activities, and each of them was assigned a set of weapons They sent them out of Dading Mansion, and these people were like the sparks flying out of the bonfire, and soon scattered all over the Zhongjing Road, and began to secretly recruit soldiers and horses to make trouble for the Jin people. As for what they can do To what extent depends on their respective abilities. Anyway, Xu Yi and Ma Zhe don't expect them to overthrow the Jinren at once, as long as they can cause as much trouble as possible for the Jinjun.

As for the city of Dadingfu, it immediately became busy. All kinds of craftsmen with some skills were gathered immediately, opened blacksmith and carpentry workshops, and began to rush to manufacture various defensive equipment, such as stone throwers, spikes, Bed crossbows, hook sickle guns, flying claws, etc., began to be prepared in full swing. Anyway, there are a lot of refined iron in the warehouse here in Dading Mansion, and there are also a lot of cowhide rubber. The raw materials are really not used. worry.

In addition, the generals of the Fubo Army were already very familiar with the defense of the city. Immediately, special personnel took these newly recruited auxiliary soldiers out of the city and began to clear the forest outside the wall, so that the outside of the city could be clearly seen on the city wall. The movement of the enemy army, to prevent the enemy from attacking, the cut wood is still pulled directly into the city, spread out to dry, good wood is used to make various equipment, and bad wood is used as rolling logs or firewood. Dingfu also needs to prepare for long-term defense.

Every day, the officers of the Fubo Army will gather these auxiliary soldiers and perform non-stop drills in the city to let them be familiar with the password and combat mode of the Fubo Army. Even if they can't make them qualified soldiers, let them become qualified porters.

According to the old custom, the four walls of the city are assigned special personnel to be in charge of each section, and the residents in the city are also assigned to the city walls they support. Everything is carried out according to the pattern they have been familiar with before. The Fubo army can be said to be familiar with it, and it is methodical.

Not to mention how Xu Yi led Li Bo's third division to toss in Dading Mansion, just talk about Wanyan Zongfu who was attacking Jinzhou city fiercely. Now he can be sure that the number of defenders in the city is very small, but even so, He has been attacking the city for many days and still failed to win Jinzhou City. The tenacity of the Fubo army in the city gave him a headache. Compared with the Liao army and Song army he had experienced before, the Fubo army is simply a stone in a latrine , smelly and hard!
No matter how he attacks, Jinzhou City seems to be indestructible, and the offensives he launches are disintegrated again and again, and the enemy's cannonballs are very harsh. Every time he attacks, his golden army has to pay a heavy price, but in the end they can only Return in vain.

Not only that, but he also received reports from scouts that there were many ships of the Fubo Army on the beach, and they seemed to be going ashore to support Jinzhou City, so he had to divide his troops to guard the seaside to prevent the Fubo Army from attacking the city from the sea. Lu, attacked behind their golden army, but the soldiers they sent ran back in a hurry. After asking, they found out that the Fubo army and water army were not in vain. After several of their giant ships approached the sea, Looking at the Jin army on the shore, they slammed their heads and covered their faces. As a result, the Jin army on the shore ran away with their heads in their arms, but the Jin army couldn't reach the Fubo army's ships. There were a large number of dead bodies on the beach and had to retreat from the beach.

This is really the first time he met Zong Zongfu like this. He was so angry that his veins were throbbing, and his heart began to have an ominous premonition. There are about 5000 to 2 people, but the Fubo Army in Jinzhou City is obviously not so many, and there may even be only about a few thousand people, and after a few days, I did not see the figure of Xu Yi, the leader of the Fubo Army. Where did Yi go with the rest of the people?
According to the news from the direction of Laizhou, Xu Yi led troops to raid Laizhou and burn it down again. It was expected that they would attack Pingzhou, but the news from Pingzhou said that the figure of Lian Fubo's army I didn't see it either, and now Zongsuke started to feel a little worried.

Although he has never fought against the Fubo Army, he has inquired a lot about the Fubo Army. According to the information he collected, the Fubo Army is a difficult army to deal with. It never plays cards according to common sense. If Xu Yi didn't go to Pingzhou after leading his troops to raid Laizhou, where would they go?Can 2 people evaporate from the flat ground?

Or did Xu Yi withdraw troops and return to Liaodong because of the tense war in Liaodong?But since he had reached Jinzhou, wouldn't it be easy to retreat after looting Jinzhou?This situation is wrong. If Xu Yi returns to Liaodong, then there is absolutely no need for him to keep some soldiers and horses to garrison Jinzhou City. Although these soldiers and horses are very tenacious, they will be eaten by him sooner or later!Xu Yi wouldn't do such a stupid thing!

The more Zongfu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, so he sent a large number of scouts again to Laizhou to inquire about the whereabouts of the Fubo Army. As a result, news soon came that a large number of ruts and horse manure were found on the road west of Laizhou leading to the hinterland of Zhongjing. It seems that a large army is heading inland.

Zongfu's head was coaxed a few times, and he was completely confused by Xu Yi's actions. Although the Fubo army is powerful, how could he abandon the advantage of their navy army and go deep into the hinterland of Zhongjing Road alone?That's the territory of their Jin people. Aren't they afraid of being surrounded by the Jin army in the interior?

What kind of medicine is sold in this Xu Yi gourd?Zongfu couldn't understand Xu Yi's tactics more and more. The more he couldn't understand, the more frightened he was, and he always felt that things would never be simple. Report urgently to Yan Zongfu.

When Wanyan Zongfu heard the arrival from Dading Mansion, his head boomed, and he almost didn't fall to the ground. He suddenly thought of the removal of Xu Yi's army and horses, and he yelled that it was bad, and immediately sent an order to let the messenger come in.

After the messenger entered the big tent, he threw himself on the ground, wailing and crying: "Master General! Please lead the army back to Dading Mansion immediately! A Fubo army suddenly appeared outside the city of Dading Mansion a few days ago. Surround Dading Mansion! The number of soldiers in the city is too small, if the general returns late, General Jiamu may not last long!"

His words really confirmed Zongfu's ominous premonition and speculation. Xu Yi really took the risk and led his army to go deep into his old lair, Dading Mansion. After knowing this, Zongfu felt dizzy and immediately sent an order Ming Jin withdrew the troops, and all the soldiers who were attacking the city were taken back. Immediately after that, they immediately beat drums to raise their tents, and the generals and officers gathered together.

"Everyone pack up your armor immediately, set up camp, and we will return to Dading Mansion overnight!" Without waiting for his generals to gather, Wanyan Zongfu impatiently issued an order.

"My lord general! Give the general one more day. The general promises to take Jinzhou City tomorrow!" A burly warrior with a wound came out and immediately called out to Wanyan Zongfu. This person is Wanyan Zongfu's general. When his subordinates came to attack the city, the price they paid was very high. Even his younger brother was shot in the eye by a crossbow arrow from the top of the city during the siege battle. As a result, the arrow pierced his head and died outside the city. , he vowed to avenge his brother, but he went into battle himself, and was wounded by shell fragments from the Fubo army. He made up his mind to find a place in Jinzhou.

"Shut up! How many times have you promised me that you will take Jinzhou City tomorrow? But isn't Jinzhou City still in the hands of the Fubo army? Stop talking nonsense, gather your subordinates immediately, and immediately return to Dading Mansion!" Yan Zongfu immediately scolded him angrily.

After hearing this, the burly guy didn't dare to say any more, and retreated to the line, tears were about to come down. At this moment, he almost hated Fubo Army to death, but there was nothing he could do. Zongfu had always ruled The army is strict, and the generals in the army are like mountains, so who cares about whether he takes revenge or not!

"Master General! We are about to take down Jinzhou City now, why do we suddenly withdraw our troops now?" A lieutenant general came out of the line and asked in confusion.

Wanyan Zongfu gritted his teeth and said angrily: "We have been fooled by the damn Fubo Army, that Xu Yi is really a cunning thing to the extreme, he actually led a large army, went deep into our hinterland alone, and killed Dading in secret. Under the Fucheng! If we don’t return to Dading Mansion before they break the city, you all know the consequences!”

His words stunned everyone in the tent, and a deputy general murmured, "No way! It's hundreds of miles away from Dading Mansion, and there are many towns in the middle. Could it be that you can grow wings and fly there? Why haven’t we received any news?”

Wanyan Zongfu didn't understand the reason, but the facts were like this. Xu Yi did lead the army and sneaked into the hinterland of their Zhongjing Road without anyone noticing, and had actually arrived outside the city of Dadingfu. Now even he They all have to admire Xu Yi's boldness. It is really a misfortune for the Kingdom of Jin to have such a person become the opponent of the Kingdom of Jin!

"I don't know about this matter. The enemy army has always been extremely cunning. No matter how they did it, they have already arrived outside the city of Dading Mansion. I don't know how long Wanyan Jiamu can last. We must rush back to Dading as soon as possible. Mansion! Everyone, don’t hesitate, raise troops quickly, abandon unnecessary baggage, and travel lightly, the sooner the better!” Wanyan Zongfu seemed to be caught in his heart at this moment, and he spoke to the generals in a deep voice.

"The last general obeys..." The generals immediately bowed and agreed, and then walked out of the big tent quickly, yelling and arranging to leave the camp.
