Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

In the end, Wan Yanchuo still didn't have the courage to resist the order and refused to obey, so he obediently sent someone to send Hu Shahu to Zhongdu. However, when Li Dian selected the escorts, he specially instructed him to "take good care" of General Hu Shahu, and believed that he would return from Zijingguan. Hu Shahu did not say that he had suffered enough on this journey in Zhongdu, but he would never forget it for the rest of his life.

After sending Hu Shahu away, Wanyan Nuo had been depressed all the time. Wanyan Chuo was afraid that he would get into a dead end, so he specially asked someone to explain it to him. Wanyan Nuo had no resentment towards the son, but the world is so unfair, it will inevitably make people feel frustrated .

"My lord, I just don't understand. What is the purpose of the soldiers to kill the enemy and the generals to defend the country? Isn't it just to want the world to be clean and peaceful, and the people to live and work in peace and contentment? Could it be that, besides that, we have to pamper Hu Shahu? Such a villain who has committed many crimes continues to get away with it?"

Wanyan Nuo's resentment, Wanyan Chuo understands, killing people and setting fire to golden belts, building bridges and paving roads without a happy ending, the way of heaven is so unfair, what is the point of human beings living in this world?

These words should not come from the mouth of a general who leads troops to fight and conquer everywhere, and he is not a literati who feels self-harm all day long. As a general, he should kill decisively and avoid being indecisive. .

Wan Yanchuo clearly saw the problem, but persuasion was not his specialty, so he had to leave this job to Li Dian, the military adviser, but unfortunately the results were insignificant, especially after the news of Hu Shahu was sent back again in Waiting Zhongdu. Yan Nuo even fell into a strong self-loathing, regretting the past.

Only then did Wan Yanchuo know that when Hu Shahu fled without a fight, abandoned the city, and left hundreds of thousands of people in Xijing, he already knew that his crime was unforgivable. It is not enough for the Yi tribe to die, and it might be difficult to save the lives of the whole family. Hu Shahu is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is by no means a cowardly and incompetent person. He bribed the eunuchs in the palace and the ministers of the court to escape without fighting.

As the saying goes, money can turn ghosts. These people accepted Hu Shahu's heavy bribes, took people's money, and helped people eliminate disasters. Of course, they tried every means to excuse Hu Shahu.

When Hu Shahu returned to the central capital, the King of the Kingdom of Jin summoned him immediately.

On the court, in front of civil and military officials, Hu Shahu knelt down without saying a word, grabbed the ground with his head, wept bitterly, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty, it is not because the ministers are greedy for life and afraid of death, and fled without fighting. , I really feel pity for the soldiers under my command, and I have no choice but to do it. The Mongolian army is powerful, facing the enemy head-on, and it is powerless. If I continue to stay in Xijing, I am afraid that I and my soldiers have already become innocent souls under the iron hooves of the Mongolian army. I think After thinking about it again, I still feel that we should not show off the bravery of a man. In the face of the rise and fall of the country, personal honor and disgrace are really nothing to worry about. If you leave the green hills, you are not afraid of running out of firewood. I plan for the future, so I took seven thousand elite soldiers to withdraw. The Kingdom of Jin has preserved [-] elite soldiers... I know that I have committed a crime, but the crime does not warrant death, so I hope your Majesty will learn from you!"

Sure enough, people are shameless and invincible. When Wan Yanchuo heard these words for the first time, he only felt that his three views had been refreshed for the second time. He had been a human being in two lifetimes and lived for so many years. He had never seen such a thing. Brazen.

The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin heard it, and it made sense. After thinking about it again, the national crisis was at the head of the situation. At this time, Hu Shahu was also a general who guarded the frontier personally appointed by the late emperor. It's a pity to kill him, so he went into Jinkou and opened it, saving Hu Shahu from the crime of fleeing without a fight.

The matter was left alone, so Hu Shahu escaped unharmed and was not convicted.

When Wan Yanchuo heard the news, he was so angry that he didn't even eat his meal. He backed away and stayed alone in the main tent, and lost his temper severely, let alone Wan Yan Nuo, for several days Wanyan Chuo didn't see him, and he didn't know what he was planning in secret. It always gave people a feeling that he was gradually accumulating strength and preparing to make a big move. Before he broke out, Wanyan Chuo was always worried and worried.

Later, it was Li Dian, the great military strategist, who came out and managed to appease Wan Yan Nuo by some unknown method. At least, Wan Yan Nuo stopped being a horny kid, and was always thinking about sending someone to assassinate him, doing justice for the sky, etc. Unreliable method.

Wanyan Chuo has no doubts about taking the head of a general from the chaos army, Wanyan Nuo has this ability, but is it worth it?Wanyan Chuo said before that Hu Shahu's death is not a pity, but the entire Zhongxiao Army cannot be paid for this insignificant person, even if it is only Wanyan Nuo.

Just when the Mongol army won consecutive battles, Wan Yanchuo thought they would definitely take advantage of the victory to pursue and make a comeback, the Mongols suddenly ordered their troops to withdraw, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

Wan Yanchuo thought about it, but he still decided that the Mongols did not have good intentions in this move. Apart from testing the reality of the Jin Kingdom, there was also a high possibility that the soldiers were exhausted after repeated battles, and their horses needed to be repaired urgently. country, the plundered loot should be enough to consume the Mongol Empire for a while.

Wan Yanchuo's guess was not unreasonable, but he did not expect that apart from the above two points, the Mongols chose to withdraw their troops at this time with a more sinister intention, which was to provoke internal conflicts in the Kingdom of Jin.

Right now, apart from Zijing Pass, there are only eleven cities left in the Kingdom of Jin north of the Yellow River, and all of them are under the defense and control of Wanyan Chuo's loyal and filial army. It can be said bluntly that looking at the entire Kingdom of Jin However, apart from the fact that the army under Commander Wan Yanchuo was still desperately resisting the Mongolian army, the soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin had no fighting spirit.

The mountains and rivers are dilapidated, and there are ruins everywhere. Wherever the Mongolian army went, they burned, killed, looted, and committed all kinds of evil. The poor rivers and mountains were messed up, and the people were displaced.It really echoes the old saying: Prosperity makes the people suffer.death, the people suffer.

The Mongols were afraid of Wanyan Chuo and the loyal and filial army he had cultivated. Those eleven cities were like a thorn in the Mongols' hearts. Thinking about it, they felt miserable, so they sent someone to speak arrogantly to the king and ministers of the Kingdom of Jin. Said: "My Great Mongol Empire, with millions of coalition troops, is invincible and invincible. Taking the city of Erjin Kingdom is like picking something out of a bag. It is as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. Honoring ministers and paying tribute, I am willing to form an alliance between the two countries and turn hostility into friendship."

Wanyan Chuo didn't believe that the ambitious Mongols would give up just like that, and presumably it was a tactic to delay the attack.If you think about it carefully, you can understand that after years of fighting, no matter how powerful the empire is, in the past, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty conquered the Xiongnu in the north to strengthen the country's prestige. He must be punished if he is far away!" However, history is like a knife, and later generations comment on his merits and demerits, and the coffin is concluded. Didn't Emperor Wu of the Han end up with a bad reputation of being a warlike, laboring people and wasting money?Although the Mongol Empire is now in full swing, it cannot withstand the loss of such a large-scale war. What's more, Wanyan Chuo made the Mongol army suffer a lot in the Battle of Bauhinia Pass. If the Mongols want to continue to benefit from the Kingdom of Jin, You have to think about it again.

After all, Wanyan Chuo was not easy to chew on, and the Mongol Empire couldn't afford to go into a dead end and directly confront it.Compared with the Jin and Song Dynasties, the number of Mongols is not too large. The war is entirely based on good mobility. After years of war wear and tear, it is necessary to recuperate for a period of time. After all, to unify the world, the fight is lasting In war, there is no need to fight for victory or defeat in one city and one pool.

Received the news that the Mongols sent envoys to discuss the signing of the covenant between the two countries. If you ask for something, it is considered as a kindness from the heavenly kingdom to reward the vassal country and strengthen the friendship. Anyway, our Dajin Kingdom has a large land and rich resources, and these gold and silver treasures are not bad. Compared with the price to be paid after the defeat, giving something is nothing more than It's a drop in the bucket.

Lie Xinxi was everywhere in the court of the Kingdom of Jin. Except for a few clear-headed and smart people who saw the Mongols' malicious intentions at a glance, most of them were immersed in wishful thinking and thought that they could Peaceful coexistence with the Mongols, naive!

"Yi and Di are greedy and have no relatives, so they can't plan far. Please think twice before acting, Your Majesty."

This is the reason, but you can't say it so bluntly, otherwise you will be suspected of slapping yourself. You know, a hundred years ago, the Jurchens were also denounced by the Song people as uncivilized barbarians. The king of the country will of course be displeased when he hears this.

Sure enough, the King of the Kingdom of Jin seemed to have lost his mind, and agreed to the proposal of the courtiers to form an alliance with Mongolia, and even prepared to send his only daughter to marry him despite the obstruction of the crown prince Wanyanxu.

Seeking skin from a tiger is simply asking for death.

Besides, the princess of the Kingdom of Jin who was sent was only fourteen or fifteen years old, and she was still an underage girl in modern times. Not to mention the question of whether she was a good match or not. Sending them over is called peace at best, or an alliance under the city at worst.

The Mongols are ambitious, and they want to marry a princess as soon as they are given away. It is a fool's dream. One can imagine how difficult the life of this princess in a foreign country will be after she goes to Mongolia.

Wanyan Chuo couldn't bear it, he didn't agree with the idea of ​​Princess Shang and his relatives, defending the land and protecting the country, protecting the environment and the people, this is the business of these generals, now the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty don't hesitate to put It is extremely shameless for an innocent woman to push into the fire pit!

Wan Yanchuo argued that when the Mongolian army was retreating, he was caught by surprise and caught it unprepared. He didn't even care about protecting himself, and directly wrote a letter to the King of the Kingdom of Jin, explaining the stakes in detail.

There is a saying in "Sun Tzu's Art of War": Avoid its sharpness and strike its lazy return.

The Mongolian army returned victorious, and when they retreated, they were naturally full of ambition. The soldiers' waists were filled with looted and heavy property, and the horses couldn't move, so they lost the menacing and fast attack when they went south. ability, if an attack is launched at this time, the Mongols will be caught off guard.

This memorial, after it was submitted, fell into disrepair, and did not receive the attention of the King of the Kingdom of Jin.
