Destroy Jin and conquer Song, and carry the Northern Expedition through to the end

Chapter 290 Who said Yao and Shun didn’t use swords?
The facts were just as Hesheli Liangbi had thought.

If a light cavalry with more than one horse gallops at full speed, the speed can be astonishing.

The city gate officer had just received a report that cavalry had surrounded Wanyan Mouyan's camp in Shicheng. Before he had time to report to his superiors, Hesheli Zhining took the lead and charged into the city.

The huge Jin Dynasty capital of Tokyo suddenly became chaotic. Many people thought that the Khitan rebels were coming and had already entered the city. Some well-informed wealthy families began to pack up their gold and silver and prepare to flee the city.

The guards at the other gates did not dare to stop them at all, especially the residents of the north city, who were either rich or noble. Many of their ancestors followed Wanyan Aguda into the pass. How could ordinary soldiers stop them?
This is why street fighting was difficult in ancient times, and the entire army would often be defeated once the city was breached.

Of course, this chaos only lasted for a short time, because after Hesheli Zhining broke into the city, the army led by Hesheli Liangbi was in sight from afar.

"What's going on?" In the Tokyo Garrison, Li Shi was walking hurriedly towards the study with an account book in his hand. When he heard a loud shouting outside the mansion, he quickly arranged for his servants to investigate the situation.

Li Shi was Wanyan Yong's uncle. Historically, he was described as honest and taciturn, with extraordinary bearing and insight. He was once a hereditary Mouke and a marching Meng'an under Wanyan Wuzhu.

After Wanyan Yong became emperor, this man served as prime minister of the Jin Dynasty for more than ten years.

Of course, at this time, because Wanyan Liang was suspicious of the royal family, Li Shi, as Wanyan Yong's uncle, was not in a good situation. He simply resigned from his official position and returned home to concentrate on planning for Wanyan Yong.

In history, Wanyan Yong was able to easily control the Jin Dynasty, and Li Shi played an indispensable role.

Just as a servant was about to go out to investigate, the household officer who was on the high platform in the mansion reported loudly that a large flag of Heshelie was coming rapidly.

Li Shi thought to himself that something was wrong, threw the account book aside, lifted up the hem of his robe, and ran to the lobby in two steps.

Over there, a thin man with heavy dark circles under his eyes had just heard the noise outside the house and was confused.

This person is Wanyan Yong.

Li Shi shouted, "Duke, it's the Hesheli banner, they're about to take action!"

Wanyan Yong's cheeks twitched. "Is it Zuo Cheng or Zhi Ning?"

Without waiting for Li Shi's response, Wanyan Yong waved his hand, realizing the situation: "It must be Minister Liangbi. Even if Zhining dared to come and kill me, he wouldn't be able to muster many troops."

Wanyan Liang also had some "virtuous policies" in Liaodong. Apart from anything else, the fact that he demolished the palaces, ancestral temples, residences of wealthy families and the royal temple Chuqing Temple in Huining Prefecture just to move the capital had already offended many Jurchen dignitaries.

Hesheli Liangbi could still subdue the people and force the troops to go out, but how could Hesheli Zhining have such ability?

Li Shi took a few deep breaths. "For now, please change your clothes and leave immediately to find General Mou Yan. Even though the Left Prime Minister has prestige and can win over some people, it won't be many. If the Duke can go to General Mou Yan's army and immediately raise the banner of rebellion, then even if the Left Prime Minister has a thousand tricks, he won't be able to stop his soldiers from turning against him."

Wanyan Yong smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle, you don't understand the power of the Left Prime Minister. Since this man has made a move and is coming from the north, how could he dare to enter Liaoyang Prefecture directly if he hadn't captured Mou Yan, the chief steward?"

Moreover, the army is in chaos right now. If I change my clothes and flee, a soldier might kill me and I would die inexplicably in the chaos."

Li Shi stepped forward and grabbed Wanyan Yong's arm, not caring about respect. "Wulu (Wanyan Yong's real name), you absolutely cannot be afraid at this moment. Your fourth uncle once taught me that the more afraid you are of death, the easier it is to die. If you escape now, you still have a chance of survival. If you hide in the mansion..."

Wanyan Yong nodded, a trace of ferocity crossing his face, but he interrupted Li Shi directly: "That's right, but I am a descendant of Taizu. Even if I die, I should die with dignity. How can I drown like a stray dog?"

After saying this, Wanyan Yong roared, as if wanting to vent the humiliation and frustration of the past few years: "Come here, put on my armor! Charge forward!"

Li Shi was also excited and summoned more than a hundred generals from the Duke's Mansion to wear armor together.

"Everyone, Wanyan Liang ruined the world, but this Jin Dynasty is not just his world, but also the world of the Jurchen nation and all the people in the world. As a descendant of Taizu, how can I bear to see the world fall apart and the nation in dire straits?!" After putting on the iron crotch, Wanyan Yong looked at the family generals who had gathered and said loudly: "Now, although we are only a hundred people, we are united and have a greater cause. My grandfather Taizu once said that with a hundred people working together, we can face thousands of troops with different intentions with a smile.

"Wanyan Liang has been persecuting evil for a long time, and there is much resentment in the Liaodong region. Today, we raise the banner of justice, and a large army will surely follow us. In the future, you will all be heroes who quell the disaster. Today, follow me and fight the enemy together!"

"it is good!"

"kill!"

"Inverted!"

"The Duke is the Son of Heaven!"

More than a hundred soldiers were all excited. They raised their weapons and shouted their slogans.

But after a while, the slogan finally became unified: "Stay here and be the emperor!"

Wanyan Yong jumped on his horse, drew his sword, stroked the tassel, and murmured, "A Zhao, I will avenge you now!" The next moment, the man roared, "Open the door! Kill the thief!"

As he spoke, Wanyan Yong led more than a hundred infantry and cavalry, opened the gate of the garrison, and charged head-on towards Hesheli's flag.

At this time, Hesheli Zhining had just ordered his subordinates to surround the garrison, and only a hundred light cavalry were left by his side. He had just shouted a few words at the gate of the garrison when the gate suddenly opened and armored soldiers and cavalry swarmed out, led by a general in golden armor.

"Stay here and be the emperor!"

"Stay here and be the emperor!"

The armored soldiers and cavalrymen who rushed out of the garrison were like crazy, shouting and charging forward fearlessly.

The dozen or so cavalrymen who were blocking the gate to suppress the rebellion were almost immediately pierced into sieves by spears.

Hesheli Zhining was shocked and angry, but also inexplicably felt a little timid.

This was not because he was cowardly, but because even gods would be afraid of people fighting for their lives. Especially when a figure like Wanyan Yong shouted his name and charged into the front, even someone as strong as Hesheli Zhining would feel a little fear in his heart.

But only slightly.

The next moment, Hesheli Zhining took a deep look at Wanyan Yong, who was wearing golden armor, and rode away with dozens of light cavalry under his command.

Light cavalry and armored cavalry were at a great disadvantage in fighting positional warfare in the city, and years of military experience allowed Hesheli Zhining to make the most correct choice in an instant.

He first led dozens of light cavalry on the street to lure Wanyan Yong into pursuit, and when the other light cavalry surrounding the garrison came around from behind, he turned around and launched a surprise attack.

By this time, the armored cavalry and armored soldiers of the garrison had become somewhat disconnected. In order to face the light cavalry attacking from the rear, some armored soldiers stopped and lined up in groups of three or two, so Hesheli Zhining's dozens of light cavalry only had to face a dozen armored cavalry.

After all, Wanyan Yong was not a brave general on the battlefield. Facing the spear wielded by Hesheli Zhining, he could only grit his teeth and hold on with his sword.

But who knew that Hesheli Zhining was just feinting. His spear knocked Wanyan Yong's helmet off. While the other party was stunned, he reached out with his left hand, grabbed Wanyan Yong's belt, and lifted him up from the horse.

Having captured Wanyan Yong alive, Hesheli Zhining didn't want to kill any more people and shouted, "Put down your weapons, or you will lose your heads!"

At this moment, the main doors of the wealthy families in the surrounding area, which had originally been closed, opened one after another, and there were also people holding various weapons, shouting "Stay and be the emperor" and joined Wanyan Yong's team.

Moreover, at every intersection, there were armored cavalrymen lined up, also shouting "Stay here and be the emperor", and they were obviously Wanyan Yong's faction.

This left Hesheli Zhining dumbfounded.

The current situation is somewhat complicated.

Hesheli Zhining had already captured Wanyan Yong, and the light cavalry he brought also surrounded the guards of the Tokyo Garrison, but throughout the city, there were also people from Wanyan Yong's faction who were besieging and killing Hesheli Zhining.

If it were not Hesheli Zhining who launched a surprise attack today, but Wanyan Yong had officially raised the flag of rebellion, the number of troops in various places would have to be at least twice as many.

Even so, Hesheli Zhining had sweat on his forehead. He dismounted, holding a knife in one hand and pulling Wanyan Yong with the other, and walked towards a house, trying to put up a last-ditch resistance.

No wonder Gao Cunfu, the deputy governor who was sent to Tokyo by Wanyan Liang to monitor Wanyan Yong, felt that he was doomed. Now, even with more than a thousand light cavalry under his command, Hesheli Zhining still felt that he was not in a good condition.

"Zhining, you have no chance of winning." Wan Yanyong panted, still shouting: "Everyone in Tokyo wants to kill you and protect me. What can you do alone?"

"You have no chance of winning!" Hesheli Zhining immediately responded loudly, "The Left Prime Minister is leading a large army behind us. He has already captured Wanyan Mouyan and has entered the city. These people are not afraid of me, so how could they not be afraid of the Left Prime Minister? Wulu, aren't you afraid of the Left Prime Minister?"

Wanyan Yong's face looked extremely ugly.

A prime minister with real power, means and prestige is so troublesome. Although with the mixed system of Jin tribal chiefs and the Central Plains dynasty, there may be some tribes outside the Great Wall who don't care about the prime minister of Jin, but is Hesheli Liangbi's identity as the chief of the Hesheli tribe a joke to you?
Whether it was Han or Hu, yin or yang, good or evil, civil or martial, Hesheli Liangbi was always superior to others, and there was really nothing to be done about it.

Damn it, why would such a person come to Liaodong?
Li Shi, who followed closely, shouted, "Even if the Left Prime Minister is here, there's nothing we can do about this situation. This is Liaoyang Prefecture, the capital of Tokyo. The entire city has rebelled! Can he really kill everyone in the city?"

Hesheli Zhining grinned and said, "I, a simple man, don't know what you are going to do, sir. But I do know that if things go wrong, I will be the first to kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud horn sounded from the north. Several people looked over the courtyard wall in the direction of the sound, and saw a larger Hesheli flag flying high.

Hesheli Liangbi finally arrived.
