Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Facing the Southern Army's offensive, the Jin Army had no intention of defending Daming Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion.

Because, fighting in Hebei, Hedong and the Southern Army, the Jin Army did not have a logistical advantage.

When the Jin army's front line shrank to the front line from Yanjing to Datong Mansion, with its back to the hinterland, the pressure on logistical support was greatly reduced.

On the contrary, the food, grass and supplies of the Southern Army must be transported from the south of the Yellow River, which must have increased a lot of burden.

Moreover, the weather is getting colder, and God is also on the side of Jin Jun.

Wan Yanchang didn't need a surprise victory, he only needed to delay the war until winter, and the severe cold would help the Jin army repel the Qi army from the south.

When the Xin Zan Department of the Qi Army entered the Zhending Mansion, Prince Wanyan Zongpan finally led an army of [-] to the south of Yizhou, and formed a corner with Wanyan Chang.

Wan Yanchang and Wanyan Zongpan made a strategy of strictly guarding against death, and they wanted to drag the war until winter, so that Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Xiyin would return without success.

It should be noted that although Wanyan Zongbi gathered many Jin army soldiers in the name of revenge, Wanyan Wu Qimai was the legitimate emperor of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Zongbi's army was a rebel army after all.

If the march goes smoothly, Wanyan Zongbi's army will certainly not have any problems.But once the attack is frustrated, there is no hope of overthrowing Wanyan Wu's begging rule. Obviously, the morale of Wanyan Zongbi's army will drop even faster.

Wanyan Wu Qimai's father and son have received the support of the Han family in the Kingdom of Jin, and the soldiers under his command have the righteous name of "defending the family and the country", so their morale will definitely last longer.

These considerations are the confidence behind Wan Yanchang's protracted war.

When the two armies of Yanjing and Datong were in a strategic stalemate, Li Ai's offensive against the remnants of the Aguda family in Posulu suddenly launched when Jin Guotong and Zhongshu were in peace.

Veteran Wan Yan Po Lu Huo led [-] cavalry to sneak across the mountains and suddenly appeared outside the city of Po Sufu.

As a border city on the border with Koryo, the city of Busufu was built like a fortress.

Originally Wanyan Po Luhuo's [-] cavalry could not easily break through the city of Po Sufu.However, when Wanyan Polu Huojun appeared outside the city, someone in the city should open the city gate and let Wanyan Polu Huojun into the city.

The internal response to Wanyan Polu Huojun is the Wugu Theory of the Wugu Theory.

After Wanyan Zongbi rebelled, Wu Gulun led his troops to Posu Mansion to join Wanyan Zongbi's army.

Wanyan Zongbi's mother was Wanyan Aguda's concubine Wu Gulun, who gave birth to three sons, Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Zongmin.

And Wugu Lun's family is Wugu Lun's aunt.That is to say, Wugu Lun is the cousin of the three brothers Wanyan Zongbi.

When Wu Gu Lun Er Lun led the troops to help, Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Zongmin in Posu's mansion did not doubt that he was there, and happily welcomed his cousin into the city.

How did the two of them expect that Wu Gu's rumors were the spies sent by Shi Liai to offer advice and Wanyan Wu begging to buy.

Chapter 73 Golden Army Navy

Although Wugu Lun is a relative of the Aguda family, the Ugulun tribe also married Wanyan Wuqi Buyer.These Jurchen nobles have been married for generations, and they have long been intertwined into complex kinship relationships.

Besides, the Ugulun tribe is now under the rule of Wanyan Wu Qimai, so how could they easily betray Wanyan Wu Qimai's father and son?

However, most of the Jurchen tribes, such as Tang Kuo, who was married to Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai, adopted a silent wait-and-see attitude during the internal struggles of the Wanyan family, and did not take an active part in the war.

It is rare to actively intervene and clearly favor one side like Wu Gu's theory of corruption.

Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Zongmin in Posu's mansion are upright by nature, how could they have expected that their cousin, who had played with them since childhood, would be a spy sent by the imperial court?

As a result, the Aguda brothers who were caught off guard were killed by the Wanyan Ponu fire army and captured the Posu Mansion.

More than half of the [-] defenders in the city were lost, and Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Zongmin were betrayed by Wugu's rumors. They fought to the death in shame and never retreated, and died in the chaos.

Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongchao, Wanyan Zongjie, and Wanyan Yulu, under the protection of brave generals Jiagu Xienu and Pucha Shijianu, led more than [-] cavalry to break out of the siege, and fled along the Yalu River into the Ximen Qing Army Guarded Fort Simon.

The brothers Wanyan Huilu Duo, Wanyan Xinilie, Wanyan Ningji, Wanyan Yansun, and Wanyan Wuhu were lost in the rebellion army, and their life and death were uncertain, whether they were captured, killed in battle, or fled while taking advantage of the chaos.

The rest of the female family members were all captured by Wanyan Polu Huojun.

Because the Jin army came too suddenly and Poso Mansion fell too quickly, Shi Yong, Jiang Jing and others did not rush to rescue after receiving the return of the fast horse, so they had to lead the troops back to defend Ximen Fort.

After Wanyan Zongjun and the others fled into Ximenbao, thinking of his brother Wanyan Zongqian's hard work and even sacrificing himself to allow the family to escape safely to Posu Road, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken and wept for a long time. field.

Jiagu Xienu and Pucha Shijianu found Shi Yong, Jiang Jing and others, and asked when the Qi army would be able to go north, hoping to use troops to recover Posu Mansion and rescue the captured people.

"Don't be restless, you two generals. I have received a secret letter. Brother Luan Tingyu's army will be able to land in two days!"

Shi Yong said to Jiagu Xienu and Pucha Shijianu.

"Hey! It was all caused by that villain who Wu Gulun slandered! If he hadn't opened the city gate, we would have joined forces inside and outside, and Po Nuhuo would definitely be defeated!"

Jiagu Xienu was indignant.

As the commander of Wanyan Aguda's guards, Jiagu Xienu's loyalty to the Aguda family has never wavered.

This time going south, Jiagu Xienu led the private army to escort the members of the Aguda family to Posu Road, and fought bravely, taking the Posu Mansion as the foundation of their lives.

Pucha Shijianu is the adopted son and son-in-law of Wanyan Aguda. Like Ximen Qing, he is a member of the Aguda family.

In this exiled army, the two of them are the best at fighting.

"The matter has come to this, the two generals don't have to worry about it. How about resting in the fort for a day and discussing how to defeat the enemy tomorrow?"

Jiang Jing persuaded Jiagu Xienu and Pucha Shijianu.

After the two came to Posu Road, they also knew that the leader of Ximen Fort was Shi Yong, but Jiang Jing was appointed by Ximen Qing as the military adviser here.

How to march and fight, Shi Yong has always obeyed Jiang Jingyan.

Seeing that the military adviser Jiang Jing looked confident, the two also stabilized their minds and went back to appease Wanyan Zongjun and others who were in pain.

Although Poso Mansion fell, Shi Yong and Jiang Jing were not worried about the defense of Ximen Fort.

This Ximen Fort was designed by Ximen Qing himself, and Tao Zongwang had Tao Zongwang build it with cement!

Moreover, the castle is equipped with advanced artillery and a musket battalion.

Wanyan Ponuhuo wanted to rely on his [-] cavalry to attack Ximen Fort, but he would only become a living target under the guns and never return.

Shi Yong and Jiang Jing are deliberately showing weakness to the enemy at this time, looking forward to Wanyan Ponuhuo coming to attack the city!

However, what Shi Yong and Jiang Jing didn't expect was that the Jin army actually dispatched a navy in this battle!

Not long after Wanyan Ponu fire made a surprise attack on Posufu City, hundreds of warships of the Golden Army appeared on the sea outside the mouth of the Yalu River.

This golden army navy deployed an arc-shaped net outside the pier of Ximenbao, surrounding a dozen merchant ships in the pier.

The sea merchants who were trading here were frightened and panicked, and fled to seek shelter under the Simon Fort.

It seems that the Jin army is advancing by sea and land this time, trying to make the rebels on Posu Road have nowhere to escape.

When Shi Yong, Jiang Jing and others stood on the castle and looked at the Jinjun navy at sea, they couldn't help laughing.
