Water Margin: I, Wang Lun, will have many children and many blessings in Liangshan.

The Kingdom of Jin will look at Liangshan's strength and weigh whether it is worthy of cooperation.

This was something Wang Lun had considered before going to Liaodong.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept Li Zhu.

After all, Wang Lun is the leader of a big force.

If Wang Lun was the one taking action from the beginning to the end...

Where would Liangshan's face be?

Shi Wengong was a general and had to stay in the rear, so it was not appropriate to leave with Wang Lun.

Lin Chong... was only at the level of a peerless general, not much better than Wu Er and Lu Da.

Moreover, Lin Chong is stronger in horse fighting. After all, he comes from a serious family of Forbidden Army military attachés, so fighting on foot is his shortcoming.

Shi Jin was also good at horse fighting, while Lu Da and Wu Er were both good at foot fighting.

Adding Li Zhu is enough. If Liangshan has such strength, the Jin Kingdom still looks down on it, so it doesn't matter if the cooperation is not compatible.

But Wang Lun didn't expect that Jin Guo would act out of common sense.

It was also a coincidence that he happened to meet the alliance envoy from the Liao Kingdom.

Wang Lun didn't hesitate much, and he couldn't tolerate any hesitation.

If the leader or superior of a force hesitates to make a decision when faced with problems, it is easy for others to doubt whether he has the ability to control a large force!

At the most critical moment, even making the wrong decision is better than not making a decision!

Wang Lun glanced at the Liao envoy and said with a smile:"Okay, since Jin Guobo has such an elegant spirit, we on the Liangshan side have no objection." In comparison, the Liao envoy was much more arrogant.

After all, they are a powerful country thousands of miles away!

After all, they have been rising for more than three hundred years!

The Khitans rose to prominence during the reign of Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Queen of Heaven's period, the Khitans captured the Tang Dynasty's Yingzhou Governor's Mansion in Liaodong, which later became Liaoyang in the Ming Dynasty and the core area of ​​Liaodong.

Since then, it has been a border trouble for Datang.

It was not without reason that An Lushan controlled the four seasons. Without mastering hundreds of thousands of Tang troops, there was no way to deal with the emerging Khitan.

The Tang army also lost more than it won in the war against the Khitan.

Unlike when the Tang army fought against Tuyuhun, the Western Regions, the Uighurs, and the Turks, they always won more than they lost.

When Tufan and Khitan really rose to power, it was also the time when the land equalization system in the Tang Dynasty was out of control and the government-military system was ruined.

In order to deal with the threats and border troubles posed by these two alien races, the Tang Dynasty had to continue to establish military envoys on the border and unify financial power so that there would be sufficient money and food to improve the combat capabilities of the border armies.

Over time, a vassal town that was too big to lose was naturally formed.

It can be said that the decline of the Tang Dynasty was due to the rebellion of An Lushan in 700, but the deeper reason was related to the rise of the Khitan, and it was even said to have a considerable relationship!

After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, civil strife continued in China. The border vassal towns invited the Khitan for help and scrambled to become the emperor of the Khitan.

When the Khitan conquered the sixteen states of Yanyun and conquered the entire Northeast and Far East regions in later generations, including the vast grasslands, in terms of land area, the Khitan was far awayAbove the Song Dynasty, the two are very different.

The founding of the country was before the Song Dynasty.

The territory is larger than that of the Song Dynasty.

The exchanges between the Liao and Song Dynasties were also obvious. The Liao Kingdom was more powerful, and even the Liao Kingdom was condescending.

After all, the Liao Kingdom was more powerful and the one that collected the annual coins.

The Jin people in front of them were former vassal tribes, and those who wanted to challenge them were actually a group of Song people...

The people of Liao generally felt insulted.

Under the signal from Wang Lun's eyes, Li Zhu walked forward slowly and challenged:"Li Zhu, I challenge General Wu Yanguang, the commander of the Liao Kingdom."

Li Zhu's expression was calm, and there was a burning feeling in his eyes.

After all, Wu Yanguang was famous and was known as the number one master in the Liao Kingdom!

Wu Yanguang, who was sitting next to Taifu Xi Nilie, was about to stand up when Xi Nilie shook his head, pointed to a general beside him and said:"Kou Zhenyuan, go play with that Song man, and take his life if you can." Life, don't show mercy"

"Yes, Taifu!"

Kou Zhenyuan, like Wu Yanguang, is one of the pioneer generals. He is from the northern Han people who have belonged to the Liao Kingdom for a long time. It is extraordinary to be able to become a general of the Liao Kingdom with his own skills.

Everyone in Liangshan is not sure who the Liao Kingdom will send. There was no objection to going out to fight.

Li Zhu failed to challenge Wu Yanguang, so he retreated as promised.

Everyone walked to the outer courtyard together.

Under Wanyan Aguda's instructions, many Jurchens moved away the debris and made room for a A space of several acres.

Kou Zhenyuan asked someone to bring his war horse, looked at Xiang Wang Lun and others with a ferocious smile, and called out to the formation:"Song people, do you dare to compete with me on horseback?"

"Why don't you dare? Wait for me to come!"

Shi Jin shouted loudly, and also pulled out his own horse and got on it.

Wang Lun remembered that Kou Zhenyuan was not Sun Li's opponent, and was killed by Sun Li directly on the horse.

Sun Li was also at the level of a peerless general, but his strength should be slightly weaker. Yu Shijin, send Shi in and out, and you can win it directly

……

"Amma, you didn’t say you wanted to cooperate with the Song people, so why did you ask them to fight with the Liao people?"

The Jurchen nobles (afeb) sat side by side on the chairs brought out by the servants again. Wanyan Agu sat in the middle and meditated, smiling as he watched the two foreign military generals prepare. One was from the Liao Kingdom and the other was from the Song Kingdom. Neither of them would die. Feeling distressed.

After hearing Jin Wushu's question, Aguda laughed softly:"Cooperation also depends on how far we go! The most famous thing in our Kingdom of Jin is sea holly. The Khitan people want it, but the people of the Song Dynasty don’t want it. They want our fine horses, furs, and pearls, and we want their cloth, cotton, and grain! But we want them to give fine iron even more, but the people of Song Dynasty refuse! If they are defeated and cannot show their strength, we will be in a more advantageous position! If they want to trade, they have to exchange for refined iron!"

"What if they still refuse? Aguda smiled faintly and said:"A group of weak people who are still unwilling to let go of trade will die here!""

Wu Shu's doubts disappeared, and his eyes were filled with anger as he glanced at both Song and Liao.

In the eyes of these senior officials of the Jin Kingdom, apart from their own people, these outsiders are certainly not worthy of trust, nor are they worthy of being treated with kindness. , so Wushu was extremely satisfied with his Ama's explanation.

Aguda said at this time:"That Song man is also very wise and decisive. He saw my intention, but he had no intention of retreating or compromising. It seems that He is extremely confident in his own abilities and those of his subordinates. If these people win, we will trade as promised and even give them more horses! These people are destined to be no ordinary people. It is really possible, as he said, to take control of the Song Dynasty in the next few years, and then cooperate with us to conquer the Liao Dynasty!"

"Amma, actually we can defeat the Liao Kingdom by ourselves"

"This is true...but more time will be consumed, and more of our Jurchens will die. Therefore, regardless of tribe or country, as long as they can cooperate with us to conquer Liao, they are potential allies. As long as they can really show their strength, they are our true allies."

Leading a small emerging country with 20,000 to 30,000 warriors to challenge an ancient and huge empire, Aguda was under extraordinary pressure. That's why he had contacts and alliances with various tribes, and only then did the maritime sea between the Song and Jin Dynasties Alliance.

It is definitely strategically correct to use all the forces to deal with the main enemy.

And this competition in front of us is just a scenery on the right path.

……

Shi Jin and Kou Zhenyuan are both ready.

One of the two sides holds a stick and the other holds a spear.

Kou Zhenyuan wore iron armor and mail armor, while Shi Jin only wore a breastplate, which attracted the attention of everyone present.

After all, Liao and Jin are currently at war, and both sides are extremely shocked by the appearance of this armor!

"Bo Jilie, I took a closer look. In terms of wearing it, the front and back are connected together. Put it on directly from the head, and then tie the tendons tightly, and the armor is ready to wear!"

"About half a finger thick, such thick armor can block even a strong bow at close range! Only by stabbing with a spear at close range can the warrior behind the armor be injured."

"Even if you stab with a long spear at close range, the effect is poor. The best way is to use a heavy ax or an iron rod to smash it, but the effect is definitely not as good as piercing armor!"

"This protective ability is simply invincible!"

"Bo Jilie, let's talk to the Song people later. Let's also buy a few thousand collars... No, this armor must be expensive. We only need to buy a few hundred collars of this kind of thick iron armor, with an iron helmet, a collar, greaves, etc. The accessory is an iron man, and a heavy cavalry composed of hundreds of iron men will have unexpected effects on the battlefield, and can even make the final decision!"

"If the people of Song Dynasty are not happy, just kick them out!" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"No, if you are not willing, leave them alone and ask their people to redeem them with iron armor!"

The eyes of a large group of Jurchen nobles are full of greed. If necessary, they will really do it without any hesitation.

As for conscience and moral condemnation...

Okay, stop joking.

Aguda His eyes were full of greed and covetousness at first.

Like everyone else, he was determined to get this one-piece armor!

But after thinking about it again and again, he slowly shook his head and said:"This kind of armor is not suitable for us. Taking this into consideration, the leader of the Song Dynasty brought him here generously."

"Why?"

Hearing the question, Aguda said:"You will understand after thinking about it! This kind of armor looks like it is forged in one piece. It is a whole, which means that once it is damaged, the entire armor cannot be reused and can only be recast.……"

"Ah, I see"

"Damn, Song people are so treacherous!"

"With our family background, we cannot withstand such a torment. The Song people are disgusting!"

None of the Jurchen nobles present were stupid. As soon as Aguda reminded them, they understood immediately.

It is paradoxical to say.

When a dynasty emerges, it seems to be a blessing from God. Not only is the founding monarch wise and powerful, but also the many clans under his command are weak.

Xiang Not to mention the founding clan of the Tang Dynasty, Li Yuan's sons were all outstanding. Li Xiaogong could be said to be a top-notch general. Li Daozong was not weak either. Li Shentong was also very good in comparison. Yelu Abaoji of Liao Kingdom also had There are many famous generals in the clan.

When the Wanyan clan was founded, there were three generations before and after them. They were all excellent in both military and political affairs.

The one-piece breastplate in front of you has really amazing defensive capabilities.

But if it is broken once, the entire breastplate will be useless. We can only re-stove it all.

This cost is something that Newborn Gold simply can’t afford.[]

Unlike armor pricking, if one or two iron pieces are damaged, just replace the damaged iron pieces.

Breastplate is inevitably expensive, and it is inevitable that it will no longer be usable after it is damaged.

This is also the reason why Wang Lun ordered Shi Jin and others to wear breastplates.

Showcase Liangshan’s strong industrial casting capabilities and show Liangshan’s potential, involving craftsmen, casting, and of course wealth!

Indispensable.

Sure enough, the way Aguda and others looked at Wang Lun changed again.

Although the breastplate cannot be used.

But they can fully understand the implication.

In my mind, the importance of Liangshan has certainly increased to another level.

……

"Song people, come and die!"

Kou Zhenyuan held a gun in one hand. He was also a tough and majestic man.

Shi Jin cursed:"Liao dog, I will smash you into a pulp within thirty rounds!"

The two began to drive their horses forward, and the horse's speed gradually increased. When they turned around, they both calculated the distance accurately. One fired his spear like a dragon, and the other used his stick as strong as a mountain.

Shi Jin's long stick was also covered with iron. It was extremely heavy, the guns and sticks met, and Kou Zhenyuan's spear was swung away. This time, Shi Jin had the upper hand.

"Okay, try harder and smash that Liao dog!"

Wu Er and Lu Da saw their blood boiling and cheered for Shi Jin at the same time.

Even Wang Lun saw Shi Jin attack with all his strength for the first time. As expected, he is indeed the strongest among the peerless generals, although not as good as the five General Tiger, but Shi Jin still showed his due level of skill.

Horse fighting is not synchronized fighting, they are completely different things. In foot fighting, you only need to consider your own body skills, speed, the length of the weapon, and the opponent's reaction and weapons.

In horse fighting, the speed, distance, horse control level, etc. of the horse should also be taken into consideration.

After a round of staggering, the two bigTo control the horse quickly, on the one hand, avoid the opponent's backhand, on the other hand, adjust the distance and direction, and sprint again.

Both of them are masters, but Kou Zhenyuan is just slightly inferior. It's hard to say who is really strong and who is really weak before the outcome is decided.

Guns and sticks meet again.

The reaction, horse control, power and accuracy of both parties are at their peak!

A group of Jurchens all started applauding!

The Jurchen soldiers responsible for the escort couldn't help but turn around and look at the fighting venue without blinking.

The high level of this competition is rare even among the Jurchens in Liaodong who defeated 20,000 people and defeated one million people at this time.

It is even said to be unique.

The Jurchens relied on the whole. The Kingdom of Jin did not leave any named generals in the Water Margin.

Wang Lun had estimated when he came in that a group of Jin Kingdom's top brass were at most first-rate generals, and many were second-rate or even third-rate.

The soldiers and horses guarding them were below the third-rate level, and most of them were unable to enter the first-rate level.

Even so, Wang Lun did not underestimate the thoughts of these Jin people.

Hundreds of thousands of people march in unison, are well-trained, and their personal strength far exceeds that of ordinary people. Quite a few of them even touch the edge of being heroes. This army is so terrifying.

Their foot bows were also grown and powerful, and their shooting skills were frighteningly accurate. Hundreds of thousands of archers came at them together, and they were so powerful and so accurate that even Wang Lun was not absolutely sure that he could avoid them all.

This kind of protection is enough.

In the sound of gold and iron clashing, the two generals have been fighting for thirty times.

By this time, Kou Zhenyuan's weakness of being explosive but not lasting was also exposed.

Shi Jin studied under Wang Jin, and his vision was indeed better than that of ordinary peerless generals.

Kou Zhenyuan began to dodge, and Shi Jin drew his horse to pursue him.

Just as they were running away and chasing each other, the distance gradually widened.

Kou Zhenyuan secretly took the bow and arrow, turned around and shot an arrow!

In the exclamation, Shi Jin fell back.

Kou Zhenyuan was overjoyed and turned around with a gun to stab him.

And Shi Jin stood up again, with a bow and arrow in his hand.

He caught the arrow and shot it back as fast as lightning!

"thump!"

Kou Zhenyuan was hit by an arrow in the face, and his eyes showed confusion. Then he fell from his horse to the ground and let out a muffled thought.

Wanyan Aguda's eyes flashed with strange colors.

He also didn't expect that one of these Song people would just randomly come out. Such a master!

"Song people win!"

Jin Guobo announced Shi Jin's victory personally.

Wu Er and Lu Da were already cheering.
