Chapter 808 Don't Kill

Three or four miles away from Wanyan Congtan and the others, an officer came back with his horse and shouted to Guo Zhongyuan: "Marshal Jie, do you want to order the various departments to speed up the pursuit?"

Guo Zhongyuan thought for a while, then said in a deep voice: "No need, just move forward slowly...they can't run away. Next, block the road, cover the battlefield, inform Zhao Jue's department, and they will be responsible."

Not long after the flag was issued, Zhao Jue's troops moved.

In an instant, groups of light cavalry on horses appeared in the distance from the battlefield.These cavalrymen were slightly different from the kidnapper horses of Dinghai's standard specifications. The weapons and equipment they carried were obviously much simpler, and most of them were shirtless, with furry leather jackets rolled around their waists.

The leader stared at the direction of Guo Zhongyuan and other generals for a while, then bowed slightly to signal.Immediately, he took out a horn and blew a few times, and then led the team to the edge of the battlefield.

The sound of the horn fell on the ears of laymen, but it was patchwork. When it fell on the ears of the officers of the Dinghai Navy, the number of troops on the side and the main direction of dispatch were clearly reported with long and short sounds.

Several officers laughed and said, "This tartar is familiar with our rules of drumming horns?"

"Look at the banner, that's Zhang Shao's subordinate. After Zhang Shao was transferred to the northern border, he gathered a group of Wanggu people to Jinlianchuan. They served in Changzhou in the early years and fought with Dajin's army. Some of his subordinates , it’s the Yi Army who surrendered on Beijing Road...that group of people are more familiar with the rules of the army.”

"Thinking about it, these are all fierce and brave men. Zhang Shao ate these two pieces of fat, and recently he was shaking very much... He must have been impatient by now."

Seeing that the overall situation was settled, everyone was in a good mood, and there was a joke in their words.They also knew that Guo Zhongyuan would not compete with others for meritorious service, since Zhao Jue's troops had already been dispatched, they could indeed rest at their own convenience.

The large number of servant tribal cavalry under Zhao Jue is the general reserve of the Ding Navy.After this powerful army crossed Fengqiu, they did not take part in any battles, and were completely spectators.

Even though Lincai Pass and Kaifeng City were in chaos, Zhao Jue just kept mobilizing the alien cavalry under his command to spread the front on the two wings and cross the continuous sandy land, earth slopes and swamps to the north and west of Kaifeng City.

Over [-] Wanggu people and Ji people have gone through rounds of reorganization and training since joining the Ding Navy last year, and now they are all eager to make contributions.Thousands of people screamed like wolves and tigers, eager to fight immediately.It is not easy to control this group of savages.

After Zhao Jue came out of Zhenjin Mountain, he had put in a lot of effort in governing the army extremely strictly. Even so, he beat two thornheads to death with an iron whip before the battle to frighten the rest.

At this moment, the tribal cavalry, who were so impatient, finally got permission to act. As the officer gave orders, the formation of cavalry in a huge range shrank inward at the same time, thousands of cavalry from loose to compact, like a large The net fell slowly towards Kaifeng.

When they were seen by Guo Zhongyuan and others, no one could escape under this big net.

Seeing the appearance of the northern Xinjiang tribal cavalry, the command of the Dinghai team was issued immediately, and the ministries began to shrink their queues.

After the soldiers left, they left a grassland covered in blood. There were people's blood and the blood of war horses. There were also many scattered soldiers of the Golden Army who fled not far away and were surrounded and turned around. They just stayed where they were and did not escape. .Everyone knew that the spirits of these Jurchens were completely exhausted.

What the sailors brought back were the companions who were injured in the pursuit and the bodies of several war dead.

At this time, the Jurchens still had sporadic resistance.Although the officers and men of the Ding Navy launched brutal revenge immediately, they couldn't help admiring them at the same time.

The fight was hearty, Ding Haijun won, but it was not easy.Guo Zhongyuan's headquarters alone fought against the enemy for more than 20 rounds, and as many as ten lieutenants died in battle.

As a battle-tested warrior, although he was furious during the battle, everyone admitted after stopping that, after all, those Jurchens were considered heroes.

Many people said that the opponents who are fighting today are more than a hundred times stronger than those stupid pigs of the imperial army back then.If the Jurchens were so vicious in Zhongdu, they might not be at a disadvantage in the fight with the Mongols.And obviously, only the Jurchens who were born at the bottom and were also squeezed by the court's teeth and blood could retain that kind of tenacity.

Zhou Guogong's intention is to wear down the hard bones of these Jurchens to the greatest extent.However, after fighting to such an extent, the Jurchen's core generals have only left more than a hundred kittens and puppies, and there is no need to kill the grass and roots.

Guo Zhongyuan is an extremely smart person, many things can be thought of by himself without Guo Ning asking.

Just like the present scene, Duke Zhou couldn't possibly kill all the Jurchens after all.

On the one hand, there are tens of millions of Jurchens all over the Central Plains, and they have to keep a few dogs to manage and deal with them. When necessary, they can also use them to bear a bad reputation.

On the other hand, if the Jurchens in the Central Plains were too suppressed, the Xuanfu envoys and marshals of the Jin Kingdom who commanded many barbaric tribes in the northeastern interior would inevitably lose a little balance.

Guo Zhongyuan thought for a while, and sent someone to send a message to Zhao Jue's troops: "Just drive them back, don't kill them again."

Of course, he was not the boss in charge of those tribal cavalry, and this order could be obeyed to a certain extent, but there was no need to force it.

After fighting such a battle, completely annihilating the last force of the Jurchen nation and destroying the de facto court of the Jurchens, this experience is enough to brag about for several years.To be honest, in Guo Zhongyuan's opinion, this record is more brilliant than defeating Genghis Khan in Hebei.Even though he was always reserved, he couldn't help stroking his beard contentedly now.

At this time, Wanyan Congtan was waiting to bring back Monk Wanyan Chen.

But suddenly I saw my own cronies and subordinates, who had commanded Yan Daoge and the soldiers and horses to accuse Guo Yong after marching, and turned back from the north with a few scout cavalry.Guo Yong's face was pale, and he wanted to speak, but Daoist Wanyan stopped him, and leaned in front of Wanyan Congtan:

"Ding Haijun dispatched a large group of cavalry to surround the entire battlefield... At least [-] cavalry!"

"Ten thousand rides?"

Wanyan gasped from the tank.He stared and shouted subconsciously: "How is it possible? If there are [-] cavalry troops, why don't they stay at Lincai Pass?"

Daoist Wanyan bowed his head and remained silent.

Not to mention the reserve team of [-] cavalry, even Zhou Guogong Guo Ning himself, all escaped from Lincai Pass and went to Kaifeng.It can be seen that this fierce battle with Wanyan Congtan's troops has been under the calm control of Ding Haijun from the beginning to the end!
Now that the battlefield has been defeated, the capital of the country has fallen, and the overall situation has been settled. Is it difficult to accept that the navy is dispatched to the reserve team to clean up the battlefield?

The soldiers charged Guo Yong with half a step forward: "Marshal, the emperor is dead, we should make a decision!"

How rude!Wanyan Congtan's figure trembled slightly.He stared at Guo Yong viciously.

Guo Yong hesitated for a while, and was about to say something later, but Wanyan Congtan told him to shut up.

Turning around, Wanyan Congtan said to the followers beside him: "Come with me, I have to meet Monk Wanyan Chen."

Daoist Wanyan and Guo Yong took the rest of the cavalry and stayed where they were, watching their marshal leave in a hurry.

These two people knew that the emperor died not long ago, but they were very indifferent at the moment, and no one showed any grief. It seemed that they no longer cared about the emperor and Da Jin's imperial lineage.

After all, they have just experienced a fierce battle that the Jurchens have not experienced in decades, and have suffered more than [-]% to [-]% of casualties.In the battlefield, after experiencing too many life-and-death struggles in a short period of time, people will be soaked in this atmosphere of torture. Some people will rush with blood, and some will become indifferent.

The emperor was a good emperor, but he was dead.What's the point of good and bad for a dead emperor?The soldiers are now just following the inertia of fighting on the battlefield, wanting to continue to survive, other than that, they don't care at all.

The problem is that the ship of Dajin Kingdom sank, and it was too difficult for the people on board to survive.

Even the generals who lead thousands of troops to fight are only floating on the surface of the sea at this time. At most, they can find a thin board in front of them, and they may not be able to see farther than others.

In the eyes of Wanyan Congtan at this moment, Monk Wanyan Chen is such a thin board.Yila Pua controlled Monk Wanyan Chen, maybe at some point, he could draw a line with Wanyan Xielie based on this.

Wanyan Xilie's status in Dinghai is still unknown, and his words may not have any weight, but no matter how thin the board is, it's still a board, and it's better than being completely helpless.

Looking at Wanyan Congtan's slightly bent back, Guo Yong sneered: "Marshal is still too embarrassing."

Daoist Wanyan listened attentively, and said in a shy voice: "The fighting on the battlefield has stopped, and the marshal is trying to win some face for everyone, there is nothing wrong with that."

The fighting on the battlefield has indeed completely stopped, which means that the real war is over.

What can be heard now, the sound of fighting or fighting, all happened in the huge city under the setting sun, and it was all caused by the Jurchen's own house. Surrendered Jurchens are fighting each other.

This situation is really disgusting, and several people sighed suddenly.

After sighing, they looked at each other, it turned out that they were all acquaintances, namely Wanyan Congtan, Yilapua, Wanyan Chen Monk, and Zhechong Captain Jiaguze who appeared out of nowhere.

After a day of hard fighting with Ding Haijun, there are only a few officers of the Golden Army who have enough weight left.Several generals exchanged glances, while Monk Wanyan Chen sighed and continued to be dazed.

He was thinking that the reason why the city looked like this might be because the Jurchens seldom read Han'er's books and were not influenced by loyalty to the emperor and patriotism.But he immediately thought, if he was to say that he was well-versed in literature and martial arts, he was far inferior to his elder brother Wanyan Xilie, but what did his elder brother do?

Thinking of this, he became more and more frustrated.

What is even more frustrating is the situation outside Kaifeng.

At this moment, the establishment system is still maintained, and the number of Jurchens who follow their respective generals will not exceed five or six hundred.Gradually pressing into the inner circle and driving the fleeing Jurchens back to their original places were the cavalry of the Ji Army who had originally obeyed the Jurchens.

Maybe what happened next was the fight between the Ji Army and the Jurchens?It's ridiculous that at the end of this tragic battle, the people who killed and were killed were actually all subjects of the Kingdom of Jin.

When everyone is done killing each other, the Dajin Kingdom will be finished.

No, not only the Dajin Kingdom, after such a fight, the Jurchens are also finished.

Monk Wanyanchen noticed the way Yilapua looked at him.At first, he seemed to be looking at an enemy who had to be killed quickly, but as officers continued to come and talk to Yirapua, Yirapua's expression became more and more kind, and finally he became a little cautious.

What this weird situation represented, Monk Wanyan Chen soon understood.He wanted to curse, he felt a fire in his chest, burning all the way to his throat and head, as if it was going to dry up the blood and burn his body to ashes.

He wants to take up arms and kill the wavering people in front of him, and he wants to lead his comrades to continue to fight the enemy; at least he wants a heroic ending, so that he can face his ancestors after death.

However, he was too tired.His physical strength was completely overdrawn, the blood loss and the loss of water in his body under the scorching sun made his legs tremble even when he was standing.He never thought that he would be so weak, but now he really has no strength... Or maybe, because he was desperate, he couldn't squeeze his strength?

A strong sense of grief and shame made Monk Wanyan Chen curl up on the ground with his head in his arms, and burst into tears.

And the people around him were sitting or standing blankly, like wooden statues.

Not long after, an officer of the Ding Navy rode a war horse, walked slowly across the battlefield, and came close.

The gathered Jurchens stepped aside one after another, allowing him to reach the center of the crowd without hindrance.He looked around and asked loudly: "Did anyone see an officer named Monk Wanyan Chen? Hand over this man, and I'll spare you!"

The Jurchens suddenly came alive, and everyone rushed to shout: "Monk Wanyan Chen is here! He's fine! He's fine!"
