Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

If the Bauhinia Pass is kept, the central capital will be safe.

The crisis of national subjugation of the Great Jin Kingdom was temporarily lifted, but Wanyan Chuo did not dare to take it lightly. To be cautious, he even gave up chasing the Mongolian army that was galloping and looting wantonly on the land of the Jin Kingdom north of the Yellow River. He bears the notoriety of being cold-blooded and ruthless.

Fortunately, the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin can also understand that without Wanyan Chuo guarding the Bauhinia Pass, the Central Capital will never be able to hold on. If he rushes out to chase Mongolia, it may not be able to severely damage the enemy, but it will damage the vitality of the army. On balance, Wanyan Chuo's patience with humiliation is even more commendable.

All of a sudden, a large number of rewards were sent to the front line to reward the loyal and filial soldiers by name.

Wanyan Chuo didn't hide anything private, he confiscated all the gold, silver and jewels that the King of the Kingdom of Jin rewarded, and rewarded them in turn to the soldiers under him who followed him through life and death according to their military merits.

From then on, Wanyan Chuo's prestige in the Zhongxiao Army was as high as the sky, and all the soldiers were convinced and followed him to the death.

With Bauhinia Pass as the defense center, eleven nearby counties were lucky enough to escape the catastrophe. Because they were afraid of the mighty combat power of Wanyan Chuo and the Zhongxiao Army, the Mongolian army did not dare to approach them. of trampling.

When the Mongol army plundered the land of the Kingdom of Jin north of the Yellow River, the county magistrates of these eleven cities also sent envoys to Zijingguan to ask for help. In private, how can I bear to watch the people lose their lives, and after thinking about it, I still sent a team of 2000 rangers to each county that came to ask for help, thinking that after all, they are not far from Zijingguan. , Advance can be attacked, retreat can be defended, and there will be no major troubles.

Wan Yanchuo's strategic thinking was too late to practice, because the Mongolian army never entered the eleven cities, presumably Princess Qiqige gave up after careful consideration.

But those counties that are far away are not so lucky. Not only do they have to deal with the looting of the Mongolian army, but they also have to prevent their own people from taking advantage of the fire.

Remember Hu Shahu who stayed behind in Xijing?Hearing that the Mongol army was attacking, he abandoned the city and left Xijing to his lieutenant general. He led [-] cavalry and escaped without a trace. It is said that he deserved his life and fled in a panic. After one pass, they managed to avoid the Mongolian army by accident, and escaped to the Bauhinia Pass guarded by Wanyanchuo, and brazenly shouted at Wanyanchuo, hoping that the son of the world would show his noble hand and let them enter the pass.

Wanyan Chuo was laughed out of anger. As a general guarding the border, he didn't think about how to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds to protect the country and the people. When the enemy came, he could escape faster than a rabbit. Here, he has long been dealt with by military law, as a warning to others.

As the saying goes, a raging soldier, a raging nest, Hu Shahu's death is not a pity, but it is a pity for those seven thousand soldiers, Wanyan Chuo didn't want to kill innocent people indiscriminately, but bypassing them so easily is not in line with Wanyan Chuo's personality The rules of life.

After thinking about it, it seems that the only solution is to continue to block Hu Shahu and his party outside the Bauhinia Pass, but after thinking about it again, it is even more risky to do so.Hu Shahu was personally appointed as a general guarding the frontier by the late emperor. He relied on his solid military exploits, but he was against Song Dynasty, not Mongolia. He didn't have a temper at all. You can tell from the ruthlessness he had when he beat Da Song that this guy is definitely not a good person. If you really want to drive him into a hurry, this guy might break the can and smash it. Directly put up the anti-flag and rebelled.At that time, facing the Mongolian army in front, but also focusing on coping with civil strife, left and right, fighting at both ends, this is a taboo for military strategists.What's more troublesome is that if Hu Shahu simply surrenders to Mongolia without doing anything else, it will add fuel to the fire and cause big trouble!

Li Dian, the military adviser, also agreed that Hu Shahu cannot be forced.

He couldn't kill him, but he stayed in front of him, let him jump around, disgusting people everywhere, Wanyan Chuo felt hesitant again, and now he was so angry that he couldn't feel comfortable all over. When Wanyan Chuo was in a dilemma, Wanyan Chuo promise to report.

"My lord, you can't just let Hu Shahu lead his troops into the customs and straight into the central capital. This man is not only greedy for life and afraid of death, but also insane. Ordinary people can't even imagine what he did to escape. It's outrageous!"

"Did you hear any news?" Wan Yannuo personally selected and assigned the cavalry teams to the eleven surrounding cities. Now, the county magistrates of these eleven cities are in contact with the Zhongxiao Army at Zijingguan. In order to convey the latest movement of the Mongolian army, the situation of other cities in the Kingdom of Jin will also be reported to Zijingguan regularly. Wan Yanchuo believes that Wanyan Nuo must have heard some terrible news to be filled with righteous indignation.

Sure enough, what Wan Yan Nuo said next was enough to make Wan Yan Chuo, who claimed to be calm, lose all reason.

It turned out that Hu Shahu not only fled the battle and left the city, but also oppressed and plundered the common people. What he did was exactly the same as that of the Mongols. Not to mention Wanyan Nuo was filled with righteous indignation, Wanyan Chuo was so angry that he dropped his pen.

If the news reported by Wanyannuo is true, then Hu Shahu's death is simply not a pity.

"My lord, it is absolutely true." Wan Yannuo was very sure, and told Wan Yanchuo the news he had received in detail, and asked the supreme commander of the loyal and filial army to make a decision: "When Hu Shahu led seven thousand cavalry to escape, Passing through a county town, there was not enough food and grass, and the soldiers were tired, so he ordered the county magistrate to reward him with money. There is a way to reward the three armies. When Hu Shahu heard about it, he was furious. Regardless of the court system, he beat the county magistrate to death on the spot, and then massacred the city, pretending to be destroyed by the Mongolian army... If there were not some people who escaped by chance, this I am afraid that there is no way to reveal the evil deeds to the world."

The so-called madness is nothing more than that.

After listening to Wan Yan Nuo's report, Li Dian was thoughtful.

However, Wanyan Chuo heard a trace of complaint from the county magistrate who was beaten to death, saying that the town had just been plundered by the Mongolian army, and he could no longer pay to reward the Jin army.The implication is, if all these generals guarding the border are not afraid of death, lead the army of the Kingdom of Jin to fight the enemy bravely, and return victoriously, why would the Mongols wantonly plunder and slaughter the people on the land of the Kingdom of Jin?Isn't it because the border guards of the Dajin Kingdom are full of such people who are greedy for life and fear of death, regardless of the life and death of the common people, and steal their lives, so that the great rivers and mountains of the Jin Kingdom are ruthlessly invaded by Mongolian cavalry, and the people are displaced and precarious .

Thinking about the words of the county magistrate before he died, Wan Yanchuo felt complicated. He felt that this was the ruthless accusation of the people of the Kingdom of Jin against them, the generals who guarded the border. Between heaven and earth?

Wan Yanchuo made a decision that one day, the Mongols would never dare to set foot in the Central Plains again.

Before that, Wanyan Chuo would never let Hu Shahu and other wicked people go: "Let's go, follow me to meet this General Hu Shahu."

"Not right!" Seeing that Wanyan Chuo was going out of the city to meet Hu Shahu, Li Dian hastily stopped him, "Is the Master planning to have a showdown with Hu Shahu?"

Wanyan Chuo nodded, he would never let this kind of insane villain go.

"Since the son of the world has made a decision, he should not act recklessly." Li Dian will not question Wan Yanchuo's decision, but will only plan for him what to do so that he will be safe: "Hu Shahu still has seven thousand elite soldiers in his hands, which is not counted. There are many, but it will take a lot of effort to win them all, not to mention the loss, if you can take these 7000 people for your own use, it can be regarded as a little help for the son."

Wan Yanchuo understood, so he asked Li Dian, "How to do it?"

Li Dian smiled without hiding anything, and simply said four words: "Please enter the urn."

Wan Yanchuo suddenly realized, smiled and said: "Li Dian, I leave it to you."

Li Dian bowed to accept the order.

Outside the Bauhinia Pass, Hu Shahu, who had been waiting for a long time, became more and more impatient, but facing the honorable and powerful son of King Rong, he did not dare to shout and provoke at all, so he could only complain softly to his followers to dissipate the stagnation in his heart .

Looking forward to the stars and looking forward to the moon, they finally sent a receptionist, Li Dian, the military advisor of the Zhongxiao Army.

Seeing Li Dian, Hu Shahu was still a little unhappy, because although Li Dian was Wan Yanchuo's most trusted number one adviser and had a high status in the Zhongxiao Army, his background was not very good after all, Hu Shahu was different, his mother was from the clan Noble daughter, he himself was appointed by the late emperor as a general guarding the border, and his daughter is also the favorite concubine of the prince. Now that the prince has just ascended to the throne, Hu Shahu's daughter has become a noble concubine. His status has also risen with the tide, but Wanyan Chuo didn't expect him to be so ignorant of him.

How could such a smart person as Li Dian fail to understand the contempt and disdain in Hu Shahu's eyes, but it was just unspoken. He still had a warm smile on his face, and he flicked Hu Shahu to this grand banquet with a rotten tongue.

It stands to reason that Wan Yanchuo should have come in person to invite Hu Shahu to join the army, but Li Dian swore that Hu Shahu was suspicious and cunning. Feeling suspicious, he didn't dare to go to the banquet. Instead, he put on an air of arrogance, whether love will come or not, so Hu Shahu would relax his vigilance.

Sure enough, Li Dian guessed it again, Hu Shahu saw that Wan Yan Chuo had set up a banquet in the army, but he didn't come to invite him in person, guessing that Wan Yan Chuo was dissatisfied with him, but he didn't dare to offend him, so he made up his mind and agreed down.

In the end, Hu Shahu only brought a team of less than ten personal guards, and happily went to the banquet.
