“The Art of War says, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger.”
Pu Xianwannu murmured: "The truth is simple, but it is extremely difficult to do. Fortunately, this time, we did it! Our great things can be accomplished!"
Surrounding him were dozens of generals with distinctive armor and stomachs. Probably because they had killed Pu Xianlie's neighbor before and established their prestige, or maybe they were inspired by the prospect of sweeping the northeastern hinterland and establishing their own kingship. The soldiers were all high-chested and full of energy.
Hearing what Pu Xianwannu said, dozens of people suddenly saluted in unison: "Proclaim your wisdom!"
He looked around at the generals and said with satisfaction: "Today's move is the second step towards a great event. Everyone, please be careful and make sure there is no mistake in any step!"
Everyone saluted again: "Please rest assured, envoy!"
Pu Xianwannu laughed.
This position of Liaodong Xuanfu Envoy was originally his dream, but after getting it, he became prestigious for a few days. The imperial court granted Pu Xianwannu the position of governor out of complete helplessness, and this helplessness highlighted the weakness of the imperial court and made Pu Xianwannu determined.
Now it seems that this decision was made correctly.
Brother Wanyan Tie's troops have all been wiped out, and Brother Wanyan Tie's head has also been cut off. This Jurchen general was really good at fighting, and Pu Xianwannu knew that if the two armies fought in the field, he would never be his opponent. His death put an end to a big problem for himself.
As expected by Pu Xianwannu, the Mongolian army went north to Taizhou to attack the Northeast Recruitment Division to pull out the nails at the east end of the grassland.
Previously, Pu Xianwannu killed his adopted son Lielin and purged his army of traitors who had turned to the Mongols. Some people advised him not to act violently, so as not to offend the Mongols. Pu Xianwannu completely sneered. The Mongols also wanted to see actual benefits. The entire Northeast Recruitment Division was there. If they didn't take it now, then when? How could they have the energy to argue over trivial matters with powerful men with tens of thousands of troops outside Xianping Mansion?
As expected, Brother Yeluliu restrained his troops and stopped moving.
This matter is also in Pu Xianwannu's calculations. The Mongolian army had been unable to defeat the siege for several months before and had to withdraw its troops. This time it sent Mu Huali to the northeast, obviously to remove Dai Jin's wings first and then to strengthen the city. And if Mu Huali wants to see results as soon as possible, it is simply impossible to rely solely on the thousands of Mongolian cavalry under his command. He needs really strong collaborators.
Yelvliu Ge has been rebelling for more than a year. He only relies on the power of the Mongolian Bureau to protect himself, which is unqualified. Once Pu Xianwanu reaches an agreement with the Mongols, Brother Yeluliu will be abandoned. After all, dogs are just dogs and cannot catch prey, but don't blame the owner's dog leash for being too tight.
Now, only one piece of Fuzhou Heshi Liehuanduan and one piece of Shangjing Wanyan Chengchong are left.
After solving these two parts, our own strength will definitely increase greatly. At that time, we might as well make the momentum bigger and move east and south vigorously. Heshi Liehuanduan is a bit stunned, and a fight may be unavoidable, but Wanyan Chengchong is old and feeble, and only relies on a woman to manage affairs. When his own army arrives, maybe he can "conquer the enemy's army without fighting"?
Haha, hahahaha.
Everything has been calculated. In this northeastern hinterland, who else can stop me, Pu Xianwannu?
Zhongdu court? Or where? Haha, unless you fly here with wings or swim across the sea, right?
Thinking of this, Pu Xianwannu couldn't help but smile and asked: "Where are the men and horses under Wuyan Bo's jurisdiction?"
In order to welcome the Fuzhou people, he sent out multiple groups of exploration horses, reporting back every three miles. The officer in charge replied: "It's less than five miles away, and we'll be there in a quarter of an hour at most."
Pu Xianwannu waved his hand: "Where are our preparations?"
The officer said solemnly: "It's foolproof."
"good!"
After a while, as expected, a large army of horses came from the front. There were about two thousand soldiers and four to five hundred cavalry. As they got closer, they saw a lot of wild Jurchens with blue eyes and yellow hair mixed in the queue, as well as some Xi and Bohai people with braided hair. Even though it was a hot day, these people were still wrapped in wild beast furs and their thick bodies were naked. They all looked brave and fierce.
At the front of the queue, dozens of armored cavalry surrounded a five-color flag. The broad-armed and round-waisted general under the flag was the famous general Wuyan Bojia under the command of Fuzhou Capital Commander Shi Liehuanduan.
Pu Xianwannu nodded slightly, and an officer rushed over and shouted loudly: "Are the soldiers and horses coming from Fuzhou? My ambassador Pu Xianxuan went out of the city to greet the Wuyan Qianhu!"
The dignified Xuanfu envoy of Liaodong went out of the city to greet a thousand households?
Wuyan Boha was obviously shocked. He put up a pergola with his hands and looked forward. Pu Xian Wannu laughed loudly and opened his arms to welcome him: "Don't look any further! It's me, Pu Xian Wannu, who is here! I'm such an ugly person, long time no see!"
An hour later.
Pu Xianwannu stepped out from a courtyard in the city and rubbed his face.
"Heshi Liehuanduan is not good at running a place and has always been a poor man. These powerful men under him may not have enjoyed themselves for a long time. Today, I have good wine and meat here, as well as the company of specially selected beautiful women. ...Sure enough, they are crazy and stupid, and don't care about anything. Press out, you take people to stay here, wait for half an hour, and then they can kill!"
Pu Xian bowed and responded.
Pu Xianwannu waved his hand: "Let's go to the military camp outside the city."
He led his men and rode back to the military camp. He saw that Fuzhou soldiers and horses were already stationed. In the open space outside the military camp, there were more than a dozen large cauldrons. A group of gang leaders held short boning knives and cut large pieces of meat from fresh cattle and sheep. Pieces of meat are stewed in soup, and the aroma is overflowing. There was also a jar of wine that was opened.
At the gate of the military camp, a Mou Ke, who was under the command of Wuyan Bojia, was looking at both sides of the army with a look of embarrassment on his face.
It turned out that the leading soldiers outside said that the Xuanfu envoy sent them to reward the reinforcements and that they would bring so much meat, food and wine into the camp. But with the army stationed in the camp, there was no reason for people to enter casually, so Na Muke tried his best to stop them.
However, the soldiers inside, especially the wild Jurchens who were used to living a hard life, were all staring at the food and wine outside with salivation and impatient. Seeing the officer obstructing them, their eyes were red with hatred.
The officer was displeased with both sides and was helpless. Pu Xianwannu came over and said loudly: "Fortunately, I came to take a look, otherwise I would be treating the soldiers badly! Let the soldiers enjoy it with peace of mind! Over there with thousands of households in your home, I’ll go and inform you right away! Don’t worry, I can’t blame you!”
Pu Xianwannu said and left, but the soldiers in the military camp kept cheering. The little Mou Ke couldn't disobey Xuan Fushi's wishes, so he got out of the way with a grimace. The gang leaders rushed in carrying wine and meat, and immediately set up hundreds of large tables and benches on the school grounds, spreading out the hot wine and meat.
The soldiers marched a long way here and were already hungry. Officers from more than a hundred households went to the city to enjoy themselves. Who would control them? Suddenly hundreds of people threw their luggage, weapons and armor into the barracks and came out to eat and drink without thinking of anything else.
After three rounds of drinking, he was already full, and the cups and plates were in a mess in front of him. The man who had blocked him before touched his belly and felt a little relieved. When he looked up, he saw that on the wall of the military camp, there were many soldiers armed with swords, guns, bows and arrows, and they were watching eagerly.
Muke thought he had drunk too much and was dizzy. Without telling others, he rubbed his eyes first and then looked again.
"Damn, I knew something was wrong! We've been plotted! Go back and steal the guy!" The next moment, he was sure that he was right and quickly reached out to push his companion beside him.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the gang leader who was cutting the meat next to him shouted loudly, swung his short knife and struck it on his neck.
This Muke suddenly felt as if he had been hit hard, and his whole body fell onto the table. There was a loud "bang" and the cups and plates were shaken.
The short knife in the hand of the gang leader is not long and has a thick ridge. It can be used for swinging, chopping, peeling and stabbing. However, it has cut too much bone-in beef and mutton before, so the blade is a bit dull. This knife did not completely cut through the mu. Ke's neck was stuck in the joints of his neck bones.
Mou Ke was still breathing, and he kept wailing, and his hands and feet were kicking around on the table. The leader of the group was also ruthless enough, and when the others didn't react, he pulled out the short knife from Mou Ke's neck. He slashed twice in succession.
This time Muke's head was finally chopped off. The human head rolled twice on the table and stopped next to a rotten sheep's head, while the residual blood in the cavity flew and dripped on the faces and bodies of the surrounding soldiers.
Many soldiers were full of wine and food, and it was inevitable that they would feel sleepy. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen? Everyone stared blankly at the two heads side by side. After a long time, someone let out a scream.
Their screams were immediately suppressed by the shouts of the surrounding soldiers. Thousands of heavily armed soldiers shouted in unison: "Wuyan Boha and others have no superiors. They have violated good people and insulted women. They have been sentenced to death!"
Following their shouts, twenty or thirty heads flew through the air, banged on the table, and overturned the cups and plates containing wine and meat.
"This...this is my Qianhu family! Wuyan Qianhu is dead!"
"This is my family! Hundreds of families are also dead!" The soldiers shouted in panic.
And a large number of soldiers, swords and guns raised, poured in from the front, rear, left and right entrances of the camp, instantly joined the gangtou army, and surrounded the Fuzhou soldiers.
"There is no need for the Fuzhou Army to panic, everything is as before! Pu Xianxuanfu is raising troops just like him! Puxian Xuanfu is giving extra favors, and the military pay and rewards that are owed will be paid immediately!"
fo
More soldiers from Xianping Prefecture shouted loudly, while the soldiers from Fuzhou looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
