To the north of Huanglonggang, there are not many roads that can accommodate large-scale military operations. The roads are divided by hills with flat tops and steep slopes. Therefore, the battle between the soldiers and horses going to Beijing and the Khitan army was mainly concentrated at several passes.
At this time, Aruzhen and his cavalry passed by slowly, and they saw corpses lying on the ground, with the valley blocking the field. The blood that flowed during the fighting in the past few days has seeped into the sand and condensed into black lumps on the ground. But today's newly deceased people are still filling the black ground with bright red.
The Khitan army's defense suddenly collapsed. Although the soldiers and horses in Beijing did not know the reason, they immediately cooperated. Under the attack, the two parties finally broke through the key area here.
Now the vanguard soldiers and horses, led by the fierce general Liu Ziyuan, continue to divide their forces to pursue and suppress, while many of the officials around Aruzhen are riding around on their horses, shouting and urging the march. They also assigned people along the way to search the corpses and collect weapons, war horses, and belongings of the deceased.
The few officials who were particularly active were those who had previously colluded with Pu Xianwannu and intended to seize the military power in Beijing.
When they were in Hanzhou, they thought they had a chance to win, so they did not cover up, and their traces completely fell into the eyes of Aruzhen. As soon as Pu Xian Wannu withdraws his troops, these people will immediately push the provincial capital Wanyan Taiping out to die.
Up to this point, they were shouting and shouting in front of Aruzhen all the time, lest others not know that they fought bravely and fiercely and made great achievements.
These officials have always been rude, so they only use such clumsy means to cover up, but no one can blame them. These officials had been fighting in the past few days, and their subordinates had died and shed blood. Now that they are showing their loyalty, how can they go to the Marshal's Mansion in Beijing and deny him face?
The two departments and five people controlled by the Marshal's Mansion who stayed in Beijing have been repeatedly transferred in recent years. The household registration has dropped from 5,500 at its peak to more than 3,000, and the number of households has dropped from 137,000 to more than 70,000. . After experiencing such a tragic loss, it was already good that they did not openly turn against the court.
What does it mean to respond to Pu Xian Wan Nu? Isn't Pu Xianwannu the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy appointed by the imperial court?
In the final analysis, the loss of troops left behind in Beijing was more tragic than that of the Second Division and Five Yi, and the binding force on the Yi army was declining. At this time, Wanyan Chengchong entrusted Aruzhen to lead the southward expedition, which totaled no more than a thousand horses.
This is already the old basis for going to Beijing and Meng'an to defeat the army. Among them are hundreds of people left by Aru Zhen's husband and Hu Li Gai and Meng'an Jiagu Hushan.
As for Jiagu Hushan himself, in the first year of Zhenyou, he followed Marshal Zuojianjun Wugu Sunwutun and led troops into Wei Zhongdu, but he had already died on the battlefield.
Under such a situation, it is not easy for Aruzhen to maintain stability in Beijing on behalf of his elderly father. She is only thirty-six years old this year, and she still has her charm, but there are already fine wrinkles on her forehead. And when riding the horse and marching, the resolute and decisive look in his eyes is no less than that of a man.
"He Shilie Defense Envoy, which group of troops do you think are helping us in the south?" she asked.
The person whom Aruzhen called "He Shilie's Defense Envoy" was He Shilie, the chief general of the Jin Army in Zhaozhou. He is short in stature, but has thick shoulders and chest. When he opens his mouth, he is like thunder.
"Our army has been fighting fiercely for three days, and the Khitan people are exhausted! We can win without the help of this army from the south!"
He turned his head and looked into the distance, seeing that the cavalry chasing the North were obviously very brave, and he couldn't help but snorted: "Wanyan Tiege, the commander of the army, is dead. Wanyan Chengyu does not have such elites under his command... This I don’t have the guts to do that! I think these people must be He Shi Liehuanduan’s subordinates!”
"Is He Shilie from Fuzhou unified?"
Aru really wanted to find someone to ask, because the war was not over yet, and the soldiers were rushing back and forth, but they couldn't find anyone to spare. She looked around, and at a glance, she knew that the main force of the Khitan army was not limited to those fighting against her in the north of Huanglonggang. To the south and west, there were at least tens of thousands of troops.
But this army and horse were destroyed by He Shi Liehuan. As far as her field of vision could go, she saw with her own eyes that the reinforcements from the south had killed countless people and killed Khitan army corpses all over the field... It only took half a day! Aruzhen even saw several Mongolian generals who were beheaded and their heads hung on poles. It seems that the status is not low, there is a Qianhu Nayan, and the other people are at least Qianhu!
The Mongols also stepped in! And thousands of troops were used...
The result was the same as being crushed!
In the past few years, Aruzhen has experienced many battles and can be considered a veteran, so he naturally knows how powerful the Fuzhou Army can be to achieve such a simple victory!
What would be the result if such an army, instead of dealing with the Khitans, fought against the troops of Shangjing?
Aruzhen and He Shilede both felt their mouths were so dry that they were speechless.
The two led hundreds of riders along the pass between Shangchangling and Shenshu Mountain, and slowly walked to the center of Huanglonggang.
A tall red flag appeared in front of me. Sitting under the red flag was a young man, holding a bloody iron bone flower in his arms, wiping it slowly, and yawning lazily from time to time.
Dozens of guards stood scattered around the young man, each wearing a helmet and carrying armor, holding a spear and a bow. Judging from the body shape, they are different in height, but they all have solemn and majestic faces.
"This young man is still young, but he is quite impressive. He is probably a close associate of He Shi Liehuanduan. Let me go and ask!"
Heshi Liede and Heshi Liehuanduan both came from the Heshilie clan, one of the thirty Jurchen tribes, and they were both from the Jurchen lineage of Liao Dynasty, so they had interacted with each other in the past. He urged his horse forward, leaned over and asked, "Boy, where is your commander Shi Lie?"
As soon as these words came out, the guards around the young man were all furious. Some pointed their guns directly at He Shiliede, as if the general had given an order and stabbed him to the core.
He Shilede had a nonchalant look on his face, but his heart was beating a few times. This kind of murderous aura that is so cold to the core can only come from experiencing a war and taking several lives on his hands! These guards are not just ordinary people, they are rare masters who have just killed people and fought hard battles!
The young man seems to have no temper.
He waved away the guards and looked up at He Shi Lie De: "Is the He Shi Lie Dutong you are talking about He Shi Lie Huanduan?"
Heshi Liede was stunned and asked, "Yes, where is he?"
"Did you see that tent?" The young man stretched out his hand to instruct: "Just now Pu Xianwannu came down the mountain and surrendered. At this moment, He Shilie was chatting with him!"
"Caught Pu Xian Wan Nu?"
He Shi Lie was overjoyed.
The chaos in Liaodong was all caused by Pu Xianwannu! How many loyal and brave soldiers died before and after! Even if Pu Xianwannu is the Liaodong Xuanfu envoy appointed by the imperial court, now that he is caught, I will beat him up first!
He immediately rode over, and after taking a few steps, he saw that the tent was lifted.
Heshi Liehuan stood at the tent door, looked at the sky, and felt the wind blowing from the valley. The sky was getting darker, and there was a bit of coolness in the wind. It blew into the tent and quickly took away the strong smell of blood. There was a faint wailing coming from the tent, but now it became very quiet, without any sound.
He stretched out his hand, wiped the blood on the hem of his uniform, and nodded fiercely to Pu Sulie who was standing at the tent door: "Many of our Fuzhou Army soldiers died under this guy's trick. I couldn’t hold my breath, so I started a little more harshly.”
Pu Sulie's face was dull and he pretended not to hear.
A little further away, the generals and generals under the command of Pu Xianwannu, who were being monitored by Guo Ning's subordinates, also had dull expressions on their faces.
Heshi Liehuanduan strode back to Guo Ning and said in a deep voice: "Puxian Wannu died of a sudden illness just now."
Guo Ning nodded.
The two looked at each other, and there was no need to say more about this matter.
Heshi Liehuanduan and Guo Ning each have their own positions and thoughts, but one thing is that they are completely consistent in their goal of eliminating the Mongolian influence. In order to achieve this goal, Heshi Liehuanduan would be indispensable for Guo Ning's military and material support, and Guo Ning also needed a continuous supply of war horses and material resources from Liaodong.
Since Guo Ning sent troops to Liaodong, he showed his determination. At this moment, the death of Pu Xianwannu was He Shi Liehuanduan's surrender.
Heshi Liehuan paused for a moment and continued: "Liaodong cannot be without the care of important ministers! I will arrange the manpower to nominate myself as the successor to Liaodong's Xuanfu envoy! From now on, Xianping Road and Tokyo Road will be mine, and I will nominate Wen Wen in addition. Dihan Qinggou is the transit envoy to Liaodong!"
Guo Ning nodded: "Okay."
"Guo Jiedu will only handle the business of the Qunmu Institute, no matter how big it is. Fuzhou and Gaizhou will be given to you, and you will also serve as the military envoy of the Liao Navy!"
"OK!"
Heshi Liehuanduan was obviously relieved. He thought for a while and then said: "As for He Shi Liede, he can succeed as the commander-in-chief of the Northeast Army. Go to Beijing to see Marshal Wanyan Chengchong, and everything will remain unchanged. Guo Jiedu, what do you think?"
The young man smiled and waved his hand: "Don't ask me about other things. I'm just here for business."
Aruzhen and Heshi Liede were both stunned for a moment.
He Shi Liede's thoughts flashed:
This young man was not a subordinate of He Shi Liehuanduan, but a general with strong strength in his own right. Moreover, Heshi Liehuanduan vaguely regarded him as his boss!
Could it be that...it was not the Fuzhou Army that defeated the Khitans and pushed back the Mongols, but this man's subordinates? Who is this person? When did such a powerful person appear in Liaodong?
He Shi Liede was wary and turned to look at Aluzhen, only to see Aluzhen looking at Heshi Liehuanduan with admiration and awe, and awe and admiration.
Hey, what is this bitch thinking? Could it be that He Shi Liehuanduan's beard is more powerful than mine?
The key right now is to figure out who that young man is!
Heshi Liede coughed heavily.
Aruzhen ignored him, dismounted and stood between Heshi Liehuanduan and the young man.
"On the way to Beijing, Wanyan Aruzhen met Guo Jiedu of the Dingjun Army and the envoy He Shilie." Aruzhen said with a smile: "You two, don't forget that my son Jia Gupudai, he should have succeeded him long ago. It’s okay to change the route in any way!”
Heshi Liehuanduan looked at Guo Ning subconsciously.
Guo Ning waved his hands repeatedly and said relaxedly: "Everything in Liaodong is decided by Envoy He Shilie!"
