It turns out that since the Song and Jin countries jointly launched a war against the Liao Dynasty last year, the Song and Jin armies agreed to attack the Liao Kingdom in two directions. The two armies each attacked the city and captured the territory, and then met at Baigou. Then the Jin army launched an attack from north to south. It was true. The road was so unstoppable that they captured Zhongjing, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, in just one month, forcing Emperor Tianzuo, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, to flee south to Yanjing.

The Song army attacked from south to north, and the army led by General Tong Guan went straight to Yanjing. All Song military officials believed that the Liao Kingdom had long been in decline. In previous battles against the Jin, they were bound to lose every battle. At this time, the Liao army They must have been unable to fight for a long time. This attack on the Liao Kingdom must be easy and overwhelming. The capture of Yanjing and the recovery of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun must be just around the corner.

Unexpectedly, Tong Guan, as the commander of the army, was extremely incompetent. He was unable to command and use his troops well. Hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Yanjing for several months, but they were unable to conquer it. Instead, they were led by the Liao prince Yelu Dashi and the general Xiao Qian. The killing was severely defeated, causing the Song army to lose troops and generals, with numerous casualties.

Seeing that Tong Guan was unable to attack Yanjing for a long time, he had no choice but to ask for help from Dajin. At this time, the Jin army had already captured Zhongjing and the army was resting. Regarding the setback of the Song army's attack on Yanjing, Wanyan Aguda, the leader of Dajin, also Already known.

Wanyan Aguda saw that the Song army was so incompetent, and he did not expect that an army of hundreds of thousands could not capture a single Yanzhou city. Therefore, the kings and ministers of the Jin Dynasty all despised the Song army.

However, Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jin Dynasty, received the battle report from the Song army asking for reinforcements. He did not hesitate and immediately commanded the army to go south. As soon as the Jin army arrived, the Liao army immediately collapsed, and Yanjing was captured in just a few days. .

Emperor Tianzuo, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, was captured. The princes, nobles, ministers and people of the Liao Kingdom were all trapped in the urn. Among the princes of the Liao Dynasty, only Yelu Liangcai and Yelu Dashi were said to have fled and were missing.

The Liao Kingdom was destroyed, and the Jin Army entered Yanjing City with a victorious division. However, the Song Army saw that the Liao Kingdom was destroyed. Although their side had not achieved success in this battle, it was considered to have contributed a lot, so they wanted to follow the rules with the Jin Kingdom before the war. The agreement was made to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

But at this time, the Jin State had the power of victory and saw that the Song Army was so weak. The battle to destroy Liao could be said to have relied entirely on the strength of the Jin Army. The Song Army had made no achievements at all. At this time, it actually wanted to gain benefits. How shameless.

The Jin Kingdom immediately turned its back and no longer recognized the original agreement. Although the two sides had agreed before the war, they would separately capture the city and finally meet at Baigou. Belongs to the Song Dynasty.

But now all the cities in the Liao Kingdom were captured by the Jin Army, and the Song Army had not conquered an inch of territory. Now how could they give the victory to the Song Kingdom in vain? It was really shameless for the Song Kingdom to ask for it at this time.

Later, the Song Dynasty sent envoys to discuss with the Jin Kingdom several times, and they tried their best to bend their knees and plead softly. At that time, Wanyan Aguda, the leader of the Jin Dynasty, suddenly fell seriously ill, and the Jin army was eager to return, and finally He agreed to return the two states of Yanyou to the Song Dynasty, but the other states firmly refused.

The Jin army was so powerful that the Song envoys did not dare to argue, so they had no choice but to agree. Fortunately, it was not without merit, and they finally took back the two states. However, when the Song army entered Yanjing with great joy, they found that Yanzhou had already turned into an empty city. .

It turned out that when the Jin army withdrew, they had already plundered Yanzhou City, sweeping away the city's wealth and people, leaving only devastation.

The situation in Youzhou is slightly better, because the defender of Youzhou, Guo Yaoshi, was originally a Han. Although he was an official in the Liao Kingdom, he had long wanted to return to the Song Dynasty. As soon as the Song and Jin Dynasties conquered the Liao Dynasty, Guo Yaoshi After waiting and watching, seeing that the defeat of the Liao Kingdom was certain, they immediately opened the city and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. When the Jin army withdrew, although they also looted Youzhou, fortunately there was Guo Pharmacist to maintain it, and the losses were not serious.

Before the Jin army withdrew from Yanjing, Wanyan Zongbi, the leading general of the Jin Dynasty, wanted to visit Yanjing City. Lin Chong, Yue Fei and other Song army generals followed Tong Guan to accompany them. At that time, Wanyan Zongbi climbed to the top of Yanjing City and looked south. Pointing.

Wanyan Zongbi even smiled at Tong Guan who was accompanying him and said: "The mountains and rivers are magnificent, the land is thick and abundant, and such a great country can only be settled by people who are blessed by virtue and fortune. How can your painter emperor take advantage of this precious land? It's really I don’t know what virtue I can do?”

As soon as Wanyan Zongbi said this, the ambition of the wolf who coveted the country of the Song Dynasty was obvious. The generals of the Song Dynasty were all furious, but Tong Guan was not ashamed and kept smiling. Lin Chong, Yue Fei and others couldn't stand it anymore, and immediately He walked away.

Lin Chong, Yue Fei and others despised Tong Guan as a human being, and did not want to see Jin Jun's arrogant face. Before the handover of the city was completed, they all asked for leave from Shangguan and returned to their hometowns.

Wang Lun had already sent a letter to Yue Fei, telling him that Yue Fei had taken Yao Xiujing to Liangshan. After Yue Fei, Lin Chong and others left the military camp, they rushed directly to Liangshan.

After Lin Chong and Yue Fei finished telling the story of the expedition to Liao, everyone in Liangshan and their friends who came to congratulate them all shook their heads. They all felt that the battle to conquer Liao was too useless. Although they won the battle, they lost the military power of the Song Dynasty and gained gold. The ambitions of the country, some with a bad temper even cursed the imperial court for improper employment, incompetence, and incompetent command, which caused the three armies to be harmed.

Wang Lun had actually known the outcome of this battle for a long time. The reason why he wanted to listen to Lin Chong and Yue Fei's account just now was because he wanted to corroborate it with the historical records he knew. Now it seems that this period of history is not much different from what is recorded in the history books. , all have the same ending.

However, it can also be said that such a result is bound to happen. With the stupidity of Emperor Huizong and the incompetence of the Song court officials, how could this battle be fought decently? In addition, an incompetent general like Tong Guan was used to lead the battle.

It can be said that Tong Guan had some achievements in the past, but they were just small battles to suppress bandits and suppress rebellions. It was okay to fight civil wars and bully hungry people, but he had never fought any real decent wars.

Therefore, not to mention a warrior like Jin who had fought many battles, even when he encountered Liao, who had been repeatedly defeated by Jin, Tong Guan was no match at all. He was an expert in civil war and an outsider in external warfare.

Wang Lun knew that the current situation in the world was like this and that the general trend could not be changed. Although the Jin army had returned to the country, the whole Jin Kingdom had already begun to despise the Song Dynasty. They also figured out how much the Song army's combat power was. Sooner or later, Will go south to invade the Song Dynasty.

Now the leader of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguda, is seriously ill. According to historical records, Wanyan Aguda will die in the next few years. When the new king of the Jin Kingdom is established and the domestic situation is stable, it will be the time for the Jin army to move south.

According to the time recorded in history, the Jin Kingdom will invade the Song Dynasty for the first time in two years. Time is running out now. All that can be done now is to continuously strengthen Liangshan's strength and wait until the war breaks out. You can protect yourself, but in the future you can only follow the trend and act according to the opportunity.

Wang Lun thought of this and knew that all the empty talk now was useless, so he remained silent. Zhuge Mingfeng had already seen that Wang Lun didn't want to talk about this anymore, so he stood up to stop everyone's discussion and said: "Bo Ren's wedding day The deadline is approaching, and there are still many things to be busy with. The most important thing now is Boren's wedding. It is useless to talk about state affairs. I think it is better to discuss it later, and everyone can go about their business."

Zhuge Mingfeng was a highly respected man, and since he had spoken, no one objected, and everyone immediately dispersed.

A few more days passed, and it was already the fifth day of May. Tomorrow was Wang Lun's wedding. Now all the arrangements were in place, just waiting for the celebration tomorrow.

Zhou Tong also arrived at Liangshan early in the morning on the fifth day of May. Wang Lun's brothers, Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang and others came down the mountain to greet him in person, and they were very affectionate when they met.

On the night of May 5th, the Wang Lun brother and sister, Zhou Tong, Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang and other relatives and friends were having tea in the courtyard and chatting, talking about anecdotes about the world and asking for advice on martial arts.

While he was talking, Wang Lun suddenly felt violent vibrations in the Qiankun Hunyuan Gong in his body, and the inner breath surged in his Dantian. Wang Lun quickly closed his eyes and adjusted his breath, but after three weeks of running the Xuan Gong, the Qiankun Hunyuan Gong But as if out of control, it surged out of Dantian and headed towards Du Pulse.

Wang Lun was shocked, secretly thinking that the Qiankun Hunyuan Gong, which had been stagnant on the seventh level for a long time, was going to make a breakthrough today!

At this time, white steam was steaming from Wang Lun's head, like lotus flowers gathering on top. Zhou Tong had already noticed something strange, so he immediately stood up and came to Wang Lun's side, asking in a low voice: "Bo Ren, have you made a breakthrough?"

At this time, Wang Lun could no longer speak, he just nodded, and Zhou Tong said: "Follow the trend, don't hesitate, I will protect you."

Zhou Tong looked back at Wang Yin again, only to see that Wang Yin was also breathing unsteadily and was adjusting his breath with his eyes closed.

"Today the two Boren brothers have made breakthroughs at the same time. This is truly a holy meeting in the martial arts, a rare encounter in a hundred years." Zhou Tong smiled and said to Zhuge Mingfeng and Xiao Jianfang: "I have to trouble my two wise brothers to protect Zhongzhi. "

Zhuge Mingfeng was relieved to see that Wang Yin was also successful in his practice and was about to make a breakthrough. As a good friend of Zhuge Mingfeng, Xiao Jianfang was also happy for Zhuge Mingfeng. The two of them had a duty to stand behind Wang Yin to protect him.

Brothers Wang Lun and Wang Yin sat cross-legged on the ground side by side. After a moment, Wang Lun opened his eyes wide, his hair stood on end, his whole body was filled with zhenqi, and all his clothes were bulging up, as if he was about to be filled with zhenqi. Generally bursting.

Suddenly, Wang Lun opened his mouth and roared to the sky, his body's Qi suddenly contracted and exploded outwards. The extremely powerful Qi swirled in the courtyard, and the belts of Zhou Tong and others were so excited that they flew straight up. Wang Ying , Xiao Wu, Xiao Hu and other less powerful people were even shocked back by the true energy.

Wang Lun's roar didn't stop, and there was a faint hint of an iron horse in the roar, with the intention of killing and killing, showing his domineering power. However, after a while, the domineering meaning in the roar was gone. It gradually disappeared and returned to neutrality and peace again, and it stopped after another half an hour.

Zhou Tong stood behind Wang Lun, with joy in his eyes, knowing that Wang Lun had opened the Du Vein and broke through the eighth level of Qiankun Hunyuan Gong.
