Although the Liao army was defeated in the battle of Ningbian Prefecture, Xiao Wuna, as the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, was worthy of being a strong general who was accustomed to fighting. He fought his way out of the heavy siege and saved his life. It's a pity that the other Liao soldiers were all killed by the Jurchens, and their blood flowed all over the ground.
In this battle, the Liao Kingdom lost the important border town of Ningbian Prefecture, and the Jurchens' arrogance greatly increased. Immediately, the Jurchens shouted and entered Ningbian Prefecture, burning, killing, and looting, and made a lot of money.
After the great victory in Ningbian Prefecture, Wanyan Aguda immediately called Wanyan Nianhan and asked him to take Yelu Xieshi's tall horse to report the news to the tribal prime minister Wanyan Sagai.
At that time, Wanyan Sagai was following the clan meeting arrangements and was contacting other Jurchen tribes to organize troops and prepare for rebellion. Wanyan Sagai, who was busy at work, suddenly saw his son Wanyan Nianhan, holding a tall and strong black horse in his hand, walking excitedly. He was very confused, so he stood up and waited for Wanyan Nianhan to arrive. , inquire about the situation.
Wanyan Nianhan came to Wanyan Sagai. Before Wanyan Sagai could ask questions, he excitedly reported to Wanyan Sagai: "Dad! The second uncle has raised an army. The city of Ningbian Prefecture has been captured. Liao general Yelu Xie Shi was hacked to death by his second uncle with an axe, and his BMW was also taken away. My second uncle asked me to bring it to you."
Wanyan Sagai was shocked when he heard this and thought, I am just preparing it here, and he is doing it over there. Wanyan Sagai opened his eyes wide in surprise, looked at Wanyan Nianhan, and said loudly: "Okay! Great!"
Wanyan Nianhan also watched Wanyan Sagai excitedly, and told Wanyan Sagai in detail how Wanyan Aguda raised his army, how he met Yelu Xie Shi and hacked him to death, and how he captured Ningjiang Prefecture.
Wanyan Sa Gai was overjoyed after hearing this, and immediately called Wanyan Xiyin, and ordered Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Nianhan to rush back to Wanyan Agu's treatment place. In addition to expressing his congratulations to Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Sagai asked Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Xiyin to persuade Wanyan Aguda to proclaim himself emperor, so that he could legitimately compete with the Liao Kingdom.
The reason why Wanyan Sagai advised Wanyan Aguda to proclaim himself emperor was to express his attitude so that Wanyan Aguda would not have any scruples and not have other ideas and delay the opportunity for his own sake.
Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Xiyin were ordered to rush back to Wanyan Aguda's place and persuade Wanyan Aguda to proclaim himself emperor and ascend to the throne. When Wanyan Agu heard that Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Xiyin advised him to proclaim himself emperor and ascend to the throne, he asked who meant this?
Wanyan Nianhan replied: "This is my father's intention, and it is also our intention. We also think that you, my second uncle, should be the emperor."
Wanyan Aguda originally had scruples about proclaiming himself emperor. He was worried that Wanyan Sagai would have other ideas. After all, Wanyan Sagai's qualifications were there. After hearing that it was Wanyan Sa Gai who suggested that he proclaim himself emperor, Wanyan Aguda felt relieved and said with a smile: "No rush, Nianhan, let's wait for a while."
Wanyan Nianhan heard this and said anxiously: "Second uncle, we have rebelled against each other, and we are worthy of becoming emperor. Second uncle, you can become emperor! Let's also build a country and fight the Khitans to the end!"
Wanyan Agu said: "Nianhan, under the current circumstances, it is not suitable to proclaim the emperor. We only have to win a few more battles. When everyone has the confidence to win, it will not be too late to proclaim the emperor."
When Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Xiyin heard this, they thought it made sense, so they stopped talking about asking Wanyan Agu to proclaim himself emperor.
Wanyan Aguda estimated that the Liao army would come to conquer the city soon. In addition to arranging some troops to guard Ningbian Prefecture City, he led the Jurchen army back to the Yaji River. He also sent other personnel to rush to the Jurchen tribes and ordered the leaders of each Jurchen tribe to lead their own troops. The troops came to join the Yahe River to prepare for a battle with the Liao army who was about to conquer.
People sent by Wanyan Aguda rushed to various tribes overnight to convey Wanyan Aguda's orders.
After receiving the order from Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchen tribes learned that Wanyan Aguda had launched an army to rebel against the Liao Dynasty and had captured Ningbian Prefecture and achieved a great victory in Ningbian Prefecture. They were very excited and organized troops overnight and led the troops in person. Rush to the Duck River and meet up with Wanyan Aguda.
Within a few days, the Jurchens gathered more than 5,000 soldiers and horses by the Duck River.
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he saw people from various tribes arriving one after another, so he held a banquet on the banks of the Duck River to entertain the tribal leaders and soldiers. Wanyan Aguda worked out strategies and tactics in detail with the tribal leaders and conducted pre-war mobilization.
The Jurchens have been oppressed by the Liao people for a long time, and they all hate the Liao people to the core. However, the Liao country is strong and powerful, so they can only swallow their anger. Now, under the encouragement of Wanyan Aguda, the Jurchen soldiers heard that they were going to fight the Khitan people, and they could After defeating the Khitans and avenging the hatred of being oppressed by the Khitans in the past, everyone was rejoicing, the mood of the people was high, and morale was high. They were eagerly waiting for the arrival of Khitan soldiers and horses so that they could fight with him.
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed to see that the Jurchens had been mobilized and united as one, sharing the same hatred against the enemy. However, the strength of the Liao Kingdom was there after all. In terms of military strength alone, the Liao Kingdom had hundreds of times more Jurchens. This battle would definitely be very serious. Difficulties; however, no matter how difficult it is, we must win, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous. The Jurchens will be plundered and killed by the Liao people, and will be deliberately "diminished". By then, it will be difficult to achieve anything. .
The most important thing is, how can we ensure that the Jurchen soldiers do not lose heart in the face of the powerful Liao army?
Wanyan Aguda was thinking of ways to do this. Wanyan Aguda firmly believed that no matter how strong the Liao Kingdom was, it had its shortcomings. The people of the Liao Kingdom had not heard of military revolution for nearly a hundred years. The upper class was keen on hunting and hunting. The people were greedy for enjoyment, the generals were greedy for a living, and the civil servants wanted favors. What could such a Liao person do? Afraid? !
The top priority is to step up preparations for war and resist the Liao army's conquest.
The Jurchens here stepped up their preparations to prepare for the conquest of the Liao army. Let's not talk about it for the moment. Xiao Wuna, the governor of Ningjiang Prefecture, fought to the death and finally broke through the encirclement and left Changchun Prefecture.
Changchun Prefecture is the closest state to Ningbian Prefecture in the Liao Kingdom. Although it is on the same level as Ningbian Prefecture, the city god is larger than Ningbian Prefecture, and the population is denser than Ningbian Prefecture. The place is rich and the economy is developed; therefore, Yongbyon Prefecture belongs to Changchun Prefecture.
On the way to Changchun Prefecture, Xiao Wuna was pursued and intercepted by Wanyan Yilie, Wanyan Alihan, Wanyan Loushi and others.
Xiao Wuna fought bravely, swinging a green sword up and down, slashing all the way, and finally escaped.
After breaking out of the tight siege, Xiao Wuna galloped on his horse. He was exhausted from running and was about to dismount from his horse to rest. Suddenly he saw a mighty army horse approaching in the distance.
Xiao Wuna was shocked, thinking they were Jurchen soldiers and horses, and thought to himself: "It's over. Now I am alone and exhausted from fighting. If I encounter so many Jurchen soldiers and horses, my life will be at risk!"
Xiao Wuna steeled himself and hurriedly got on his horse, preparing to flee. However, upon closer inspection, the soldiers and horses in the distance were flying the flag of the Liao army, which was obviously reinforcements from the imperial court.
Xiao Wuna was immediately overjoyed, his mind relaxed, his body became weak, he fell off his horse, and collapsed on the ground.
The oncoming troops were the three thousand famous Bohai navy sent by Emperor Tian Zuo, and their leader was He Ne.
In order to preserve his strength, the chief general of the Bohai Navy, He Ne, deliberately dilly-dallyed along the way. Only then did he arrive at a place more than a hundred miles away from Ningjiang Prefecture.
He Ne, who was riding a horse, also saw a man in the distance hurriedly getting on his horse, and then fell off the horse. He was curious, and hurriedly ordered his general Xiao Dewang to say: "Quickly go and check, who is it? I've caught the general." We need to personally interrogate the situation and understand the war situation in Yongbyon Prefecture.”
Lieutenant General Xiao Dewang received the order and rode forward. When he came to Xiao Wuna, he saw the man sitting on the ground, covered in blood. He was Xiao, a former minister of the imperial court, emperor's advisor, minister of the Northern Privy Council, and now the governor of Ningbian Prefecture. Wuna.
When Xiao Dewang saw this, he was shocked. He quickly got off his horse, rushed to Xiao Wuna's side, supported Xiao Wuna's shoulders who was sitting on the ground, and asked in shock: "But it turns out to be the governor, why is this?"
Xiao Wuna recognized that the person was Xiao Dewang, deputy general of the Bohai Navy, and told him about the battle in Ningjiang Prefecture.
At this time, Hene also came to the front with troops to meet Xiao Wuna.
Xiao Wuna stood up and also greeted Hene.
He Ne said to Xiao Wuna: "The emperor ordered me to come to the rescue of the governor. After I got the emperor's order, I immediately mobilized three thousand men and horses, traveled through the starry night, and rushed here. It seems that I am still too late. Xiao governor, now we should What should we do? Should we rush over and have a fight with the Jurchens?"
Xiao Wuna heard this and said: "The Jurchens are strong and have set up three ambushes along the road. Now that Ningbian Prefecture has been lost and the Jurchens are at the peak of their arrogance, fighting at this time will not help. It is better to go back to Changchun Prefecture and report the situation to them." Emperor, stop making excuses."
He Ne was dilly-dallying along the way to avoid fighting with the Jurchens. Hearing what Xiao Wuna said, he got what he wanted, so he immediately said to Xiao Wuna: "What the governor said is absolutely true, just do what the governor said."
After saying that, Henera turned his horse's head and led his troops back to Changchun Prefecture together with Xiao Wuna.
After Xiao Wuna arrived in Changchun Prefecture, he changed his clothes and asked He Na, "Where is the Holy One now?"
He Ne didn't know where Emperor Tianzuo was now. He received an edict from Emperor Tianzha, ordering him to lead 3,000 soldiers and horses from Changchun Prefecture to Ningbian Prefecture to rescue Ningbian Prefecture City and Xiao Wuna. I have not seen the face of Emperor Tianzuo. I heard Xiao Wuna ask where Emperor Tianzuo is now? He Ne hurriedly asked people to inquire, and the feedback came back that Emperor Tianzuo was shooting deer in Qingzhou.
When Xiao Wuna heard this, he was furious and thought to himself, the Jurchens have revolted and Ningbian Prefecture has been lost. As a former high official of the imperial court, the emperor's master, and now the governor of Ningbian Prefecture, I still don't know whether I live or die. How could the emperor of the current dynasty be so ambitious that he went hunting without any trouble? ! Is it possible that hunting and shooting a few goats and hares are more important than the country and the country? !
Xiao Wuna was resentful in his heart but could not express it, so he said goodbye to Hene on the grounds that he needed to report the situation in Ningjiang Province face to face, and went all the way south to Qingzhou alone to find Emperor Tianzha who was hunting there.
On the outskirts of Qingzhou, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was hunting with a group of people.
Yelu Yanxi ordered his men to chase the deer from a distance. He hid in the jungle and waited for the deer to run over. Then he would chase the deer with his horse and bend his bow to shoot at it.
Now, before the followers could catch the deer, within the range of Yelu Yanxi's divine arrow, a man broke in and was galloping towards him on horseback.
When Yelu Yanxi saw this, she felt displeased and secretly thought, "Who is so bold as to scare away my deer? Where can I shoot the deer?"
When the man galloped closer, Yelu Yanxi recognized him. He was Xiao Wuna, the governor of Ningbian Prefecture.
At this time, Yelu Yanxi remembered what happened in Ningjiang Prefecture again.
