Chapter 803 Luck

After Wanyan Xilie drank the golden army away, he just sat there.

He was seriously injured in the battle with the Song army before, so that he could not command the army and had to return to Kaifeng to recuperate.It has been less than half a month since the injury.

The injury was real, but having to return to Kaifeng was fake.Wanyan Xilie is both civil and military, not the kind of rough and fierce Jurchen who only knows how to fight. He has thought a lot in Kaifeng these days.

He thought of what he had seen and heard in the frontier when he was young, the experience of being introduced as a confidant by the former emperor of the Dajin Kingdom in Zhongdu City, and thought of how after the coup in Zhongdu, he, the emperor's confidant, was not implicated, but was able to escape safely The inside story of Kaifeng, and even the private confession of the military officer surnamed Xu in the Ding Navy at that time.

Because he had been thinking about it all the time, he finally made a decision until today.

Probably because of the injury, he felt chills in his body. Others found the scorching sun unbearable, but he felt warm in the sun.It's just that after a long time in the sun, my body is comfortable, but my forehead is sweating, and the sweat seeps into my eye sockets, causing bursts of burning pain.Because of the blood loss, he was also extremely parched.

He wanted to get up and go back to find water to drink, but with a slight movement of his body, he felt a sharp pain from the side of his abdomen to the lower part of his chest.It was obvious that his family had just fought hard, and the injury had worsened, and the wound that had healed was torn again.

This is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, it will develop into a life-threatening golden sore.He didn't dare to move anymore, and continued to sit, stuffed his fingers in his mouth, and whistled a few times.

Zong Cong heard his whistle, and hurried over to offer the water bag.

When Wanyan Xilie took the water bag, Jue Cong bowed her head deeply.

In fact, there is no need to be like this, Wanyan Xilie is hereditary Mengan from Bilihai in Fengzhou, this name has been subordinate to Bilihai Mengan for several generations from his ancestors, he is Wanyan Xilie's closest person, just like Wanyan Xilie's brother , just like Monk Wanyan Chen.

But at this moment, Najue lost a lot of kindness in his eyes, and looked extraordinarily awed.

"You don't understand?" Wanyan asked obliquely.

Najue lowered his head.Maybe he wanted to say that Monk Wanyan Chen was still fighting for his life outside the city, or maybe he wanted to say that the two generations of emperors of the Great Jin Kingdom had treated Wanyan Xilie kindly, but he hesitated for a while and said nothing.

Wanyan laughed obliquely a few times.

"You don't understand, but you helped me confront the enemy. I remember this loyalty... Go, go and rest."

Xie retreated from here.

Wanyan looked around obliquely, there was a fire slowly spreading on the pier of Huimin River not far away, and only the wooden stakes in the water remained on a plank road by the river.The wooden boards laid on top fell into the water one after another while burning.

On the river, Ding Navy officers and men who escaped from the fire came down the river one after another.But their skin and flesh were scorched and soaked in the river water, so it might be difficult for them to survive.

About hundreds of Dinghai soldiers were distributing at the docks and bridges along the river to help the wounded. Seeing their serious expressions, they obviously understood this point.

This fire has indeed severely damaged the Ding Navy, and it has indeed won the opportunity to reverse the situation.However, the subordinates of Ao Tun Wu Li Bu and Wan Yan A Pai are too disappointing.

Wanyan raised his eyes slightly, and saw that the soldiers and horses under the command of the two captains were running away, and most of them had lost their helmets and armor and sneaked into the buildings and streets in the city, and they couldn't even see their shadows.The remaining hundreds of people are obediently waiting in place, waiting for Ding Haijun to come up and take over.

Wanyan Xielie led a dozen people, beheaded two captains abruptly, frightened 7000 people away, and forced hundreds of people to surrender. When this story was spread, it was really powerful. Anyone who heard it would want to Kudos to you for being bold.

Not to mention anything else, when Wanyan Xilie fought, if 7000 people rushed forward, they could easily kill Wanyan Xilie and avenge their leader.

But they didn't.

The two captains, who were placed high hopes by the Kaifeng court, didn't even have any fighting spirit left when the captain died.

Wanyan Xilie knew that this trip was not particularly risky.

Since the establishment of the Kaifeng court, the people of Henan have destroyed their fields and houses, bought their wives, and exhausted their brains to support the army. They have become the elite soldiers of the marshals and captains inside and outside the Kaifeng court.Especially the thirteen captains, most of them are carefully selected experts from the Jurchens.

But Wanyan Xilie was old in the army, he knew from the very beginning that such a huge force had exceeded the limit that the people on Nanjing Road could afford, and also exceeded the limit of the number of Jurchens.

To be honest, with the isolation of the Northeast from the Central Plains, and the re-establishment of Meng'an Mouke in Hebei by the servant San Anzhen, most of the nearly one million Jurchens under the Kaifeng court are accustomed to For the weak people living in the Han family, the imperial court couldn't gather 10,000+ Jurchens who could fight.Therefore, among the thirteen captains, the captains of Jianwei, Ao Tunwo Libu, and the captains of Ju Kou, Wanyan A Pai, really made up the numbers. The only reason why they were not transferred to the south to fight was because All of them can't fight.

This point was one of the reasons why Wanyan Xilie dared to make a surprise attack and kill people, shocking the crowd of seven thousand.

The reason why Wanyan Xilie decided to betray the Kaifeng court is also related to it.

Ding Haijun raised troops this time, marching extremely fast, and quickly approached Kaifeng, but during the entire approaching process, they did not miss a single battle whether they should fight or not.

Wanyan Xilie was puzzled at first, and felt that Guo Ning was too proud and exhausted the strength of the Ding Navy?Soon he saw the battle reports flying in like snowflakes, so he figured it out: Guo Ning's purpose was to consume. He was about to force all the troops of the Kaifeng court to fight each other, and he wanted to completely and thoroughly fight each other in this battle. Exhaust the potential of the Jurchens!

This situation makes Wanyan Xilie feel very bad.

Over the past few years, he has traveled thousands of miles from the north to the south of the Guanshan Mountains, constantly trying to display his talents, but it seems that he has displayed his talents, but he can't stop the decline of the Great Jin Kingdom, so he can't relieve the pressure on his own soul .

For hundreds of years, when a country prospers, another country will perish, and if a family prospers, another family will decline. The rules of the Hu people in the north have always been like this.And every rising strong family will do its best to weaken the losers.Apart from other things, how many Khitans have been killed in battle along the northern boundary trench in the past hundred years?

The blood shed by the Khitan people is enough to fill the Yellow River!
Wanyan Xilie is the hereditary Meng'an who has real power in Fengzhou. He understands this more clearly than anyone else. Since the rise of Mongolia, many times the Jin army has attacked deep into the grassland and ended up losing troops. But the frontier general They didn't care at all, because the ones who died were Khitan, Han, or Bohai people anyway!

Wanyan Xilie himself had participated in such command many times, his hands were stained with Khitan blood.

Then, after the Han Chinese overwhelmed the Jurchens, it is also reasonable to start the same operation.

Just like what Guo Ning is doing now.He led Ding Haijun to fight all the way, using the battlefield as a millstone, and those who had the courage and backbone among the Jurchens as the crushed millet in the millstone!

It is roughly estimated that more than 2 soldiers and horses of the Jurchens died in the battle. If the battle under Lincai Pass continues, only this one will cause another 30 casualties.There are a million Jurchens in the Central Plains, and there are no less than [-] young and strong men. Just looking at the number of casualties, it is unlikely that the species will become extinct.

However, if all those who are fierce and daring to fight die, the Jurchen's backbone will be broken, and there will be no more tenacity and bravery from then on!If the remaining people have no blood and courage, they will only linger on their last breaths. Millions of people are scattered in the vast Central Plains, surrounded by tens of thousands of Han children...

A year or two is nothing more than ten years from now? What about 20 years from now?Are there Jurchens in this world?
Not to mention those Huli Gai people in the Northeast, they are close relatives of the Jurchens, but they are not Jurchens!If the real Jurchens are extinct, and the Huligai people or the savages from the depths of the white mountains and black waters replace the name of the Jurchens, how can it be possible!

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to speed up this war.It doesn't matter if the Jurchens lose, they lose.With the vigorous momentum of the Ding Navy, the Kaifeng court persisted in this trip, and sooner or later the next trip will not be able to persist.

The key is that the vitality of the Jurchens must be preserved.

Whether it is surrender, betrayal, or living in humiliation, even if the Great Jin Kingdom cannot be revived, it must at least continue to exist as a part of the new dynasty like the Khitan people.

It's a pity that during this trip south, Wanyan Xilie concealed his true purpose throughout the whole process, and even his younger brother Wanyan Monk Chen didn't reveal the slightest bit.And Monk Wanyan Chen has that unusually loyal and brave personality...

That's all, that's all, living in this world, you have to pay the price for everything you do!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Xilie bowed her head deeply, and buried her head between her knees.It took a long time before he calmed down and told himself repeatedly that I did nothing wrong and all of this was unavoidable.

Jue Cong who was sent away by him suddenly ran back and said in a low voice: "Captain, get up quickly, Duke Zhou is here!"

When Wanyan Xilie was in Zhongdu, he had private and unknown communication with the recording department, but his status was not high enough, so he couldn't reach Zhou Guogong Guo Ning himself.

Hearing that Guo Ning had arrived at this time, he was taken aback and got up quickly.

Halfway through the back, the wound was in severe pain again, and he couldn't help staggering. When he was about to fall back to the original place, someone supported his elbow.

"I heard that thousands of troops were killed in the inner city. I thought that there would be a fierce battle at Nanxun Gate, but I never thought that they would all flee halfway? If I had known this, I should have continued to the direction of Suzaku Gate to look for Li Ting's trace."

Guo Ning's hand was very steady, and while supporting Wanyan Xilie to sit down slowly, he was joking.

Wanyan Xielie was flattered, and hurriedly said: "Don't look for it, don't look for it, just now I heard the killing noises in the area of ​​Zhuquemen, if the Duke's subordinates are still there, they must have rushed into the inner city!"

"Oh?"

Guo Ning was overjoyed, let go of his hands, and Wanyan smashed back to the ground obliquely, his eyes turned black from the pain, and he let out a muffled groan.

When he looked up again, Guo Ning had already jumped on his horse and was about to leave with his subordinates.After galloping his horse for a few feet, he turned around and came back: "The battle outside the city is coming to an end, your younger brother rode his horse back and forth, it's quite awe-inspiring."

Wanyan Xilie's eyes were dark again, and he said sweatingly: "I also ask the Duke to forgive me and spare his life!"

As soon as the words came out, Guo Ning had already gone far.
