At the meeting Wanyan Aguda convened with Bo Jilie and the Jurchen generals, Wanyan Aguda had just finished introducing the situation. Wanyan Nianhan suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Great Emperor, when the soldiers come, they will be blocked, and when the water comes, the soil will cover them. Since ancient times, Nothing could be better than this. Now, the Khitan soldiers and horses are approaching the city and approaching the trench. Besides fighting with them, what else can we do?! Moreover, our Dajin soldiers are all brave men, and everyone can get used to fighting. , What are you afraid of what the Khitan will do?! In my opinion, don’t worry about anything, just go up to it, give it a heavy blow, and defeat it for a while. The Liao soldiers will definitely panic, their positions will be confused, they will be at a loss to cope with it, and they will not be able to support themselves. At that time, we will So that we can take advantage of the victory and annihilate it."
Seeing that Wanyan Nianhan was the first to speak, Wanyan Sagai was afraid that Wanyan Aguda and other Bojilie would be offended, so he scolded Wanyan Nianhan and said: "Nianhan is very reckless! Although the other Bojilie didn't say anything, you go first The clamor is on! Sit down! Let’s listen to other Bo Jilie’s opinions.”
When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he hurriedly said: "But it doesn't matter! The military meeting is just to listen to the opinions of Nianhan and his group of generals."
After Wanyan Moulianghu heard this, he stood up and continued Wanyan Aguda's words: "Great Emperor, in my opinion, since the Khitan soldiers are coming in three groups, we should also attack them in three groups. In terms of specific strategies, , you can attack his left and right armies first, and after defeating his left and right armies, the three armies will converge and attack his center army. In this way, you will definitely win a complete victory."
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he heard this.
At first, Wanyan Wu Qimai wanted to be safe and avoid the sharp edge of the Liao army. He withdrew the Jurchen soldiers and horses to the Jurchen territory and dispersed them, leaving the Liao army with no target to fight. When the Liao army was exhausted, the Jurchen soldiers and horses gathered again. Then go out and pursue them to ensure that the Jurchen soldiers and horses can advance and retreat without losses.
Now, seeing that Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Moulianghu and other generals were in high spirits, they all advocated taking the initiative to attack. Wanyan Aguda also seemed to have the intention of fighting head-on, so Wanyan Wu could not stick to his opinion anymore. , so as not to affect morale. So, after Wanyan Moulianghu expressed his opinion, Wanyan Wu Qimai also said loudly: "Okay! Let's do it like this! Please deploy the troops."
Wanyan Sagai and other Bo Jilie saw this and expressed their approval.
Immediately, Wanyan Aguda held a meeting and decided to fight the Liao army in the ancient city of Daru.
In terms of specific tactics, Wanyan Aguda ordered Wanyan Nianhan to be the commander of the right army and Wanyan Moulianghu to be the vanguard to face the Liao army's left army.
Wanyan Han was originally the commander-in-chief of the left army, but Wanyan Hanli was not the vanguard to meet the Liao army's right army.
Wanyan Aguda led the central army, with Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Tarai as the main and deputy vanguards, to face the central army of the Liao army.
After the deployment was completed, Wanyan Aguda led Zhu Bojilie and other generals out of the tent and climbed to a high place to observe the Liao army's formation.
Wanyan Aguda, who was standing at a high place, looked around and saw that although the Liao army was numerous, they were scattered and timid and seemed to have no fighting spirit. He turned to Wanyan Nianhan and said, "Nianhan, come and take a look. The formation is in disarray, the Liao soldiers are unfocused and timid, and seem to have no fighting spirit. It is inevitable that our army will defeat the Liao army and there is nothing to worry about."
Wanyan Nianhan heard this and raised his eyes. Seeing this, his confidence doubled.
Wanyan Nianhan replied loudly: "Don't worry, Great Emperor, I will command the army on the right. I will charge forward and strike with all my strength. I will definitely break through the left army of the Liao army and make it unable to cooperate with other Liao armies."
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Aguda shouted loudly: "Okay!" Then he arranged for Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Hanben and others to be prepared and ready to attack at any time.
Later, Wanyan Aguda led Zhu Bojilie and other generals back to the Chinese army's tent to discuss other matters.
At this time, the Liao army had arrived at the ancient city of Daru.
The Liao army that arrived at the ancient city of Daru did not want to fight a battle with the Jurchens. Therefore, outside the ancient city of Daru, the Liao army formed a random formation.
Then, Yelu Oriduo, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, sent General Seng Jianu to the Jin camp, hoping to use strong military strength as a backing to force Wanyan Agu to negotiate peace.
The monk's slave was ordered to ride a yellow-maned horse and watch Jinying galloping towards him.
The monk's slave came to the Jin camp and shouted loudly: "Jurchen soldiers, listen, I am the monk's slave who is the special envoy of the imperial court. I have come to meet your commander-in-chief Wanyan Aguda. You will be sent in as soon as possible. Please make sure there is no mistake." !”
In front of the gate of Jinying, several soldiers rushed over and pulled the monk's slave off his horse.
The monk's servant hurriedly said: "Wait for the soldiers! Don't be rude! I am a special envoy of the imperial court. I am here to meet with your commander-in-chief. Please report quickly that I will go in!"
Several soldiers controlled the monk's slaves and reported the situation inside.
Wanyan Agu, who was discussing matters in the Chinese army's tent, got the news and ordered the Liao army's special envoy to be brought in.
The Jin soldiers then took the monk's slaves to Wanyan Agu to attack the Chinese army's tent.
The monk's slave entered the main tent of the Jin Camp, bowed to Wanyan Agu, and then said, "Are you the Jin Emperor?"
Wanyan Aguda, who was sitting in the main seat, looked at the monk's slave, nodded and replied: "Yes, I am the Jin Emperor! What do you have to say? Just say it."
The monk's slave bowed to Wanyan Agu again and reported: "I am the monk's slave who is the special envoy of the imperial court."
Wanyan Aguda nodded.
The monk's servant continued: "Listen, Emperor Jin. With the order from the imperial court, General Yelu Oriduo led an army of 300,000 troops and came to conquer the Jurchens. It has always been difficult for the emperor to be in the cold with the Jurchens. I understand it very well. However, as a vassal of the Liao vassal, the Jurchens established their own country, which was really treasonous. Therefore, the imperial army came this time to solve this problem. The imperial decree immediately announced the withdrawal of the Dajin and disbanded the army, so the imperial court, as always, paid more attention to the Jurchens. Comfort; otherwise, no grass will grow wherever the army goes, and it will be too late to regret it. If the Jin Emperor stops the army and does not go against the court, all the past mistakes will be wiped out and will not be pursued again. What does the Jin Emperor think? "
Wanyan Aguda saw through the monk's slave's intentions at a glance. Since the imperial court has sent an army of 300,000 to conquer; since the imperial court already knows that I, the Jurchen, have established the Kingdom of Jin; since the imperial army is so powerful that no grass grows wherever it goes; then, just start the war and send you to help me. What did the Jurchens preach? Obviously, the Liao court also has a guilty conscience and is not sure of fighting or winning, so it sent you to threaten me, hoping that I would withdraw my troops and surrender to the court, and you would solve the problem without any bloodshed. How can such a good thing happen? !
With this basic judgment, Wanyan Aguda looked down on the Liao army even more, and had no fear of the Liao army.
At that time, after Wanyan Agu inquired about what the monk's slave said, he became furious, stood up, and scolded the monk's slave: "It is very unreasonable to come here! Your Emperor Tianzuo is stupid, incompetent, tyrannical, and goes back on his word. , even though we, the Jurchens, were allowed to conquer Ashu, he himself protected and protected the Jurchen traitor Ashu. What kind of truth is this? If your country wants us to withdraw from Daijin, disband the army, and not go against your country, then It's not impossible, your country only needs to agree to one condition, and return Ashu to me immediately; otherwise, both sides will have no choice but to fight."
Ashu is a small person. It is impossible for him to withdraw from the Great Jin, disband his troops, and not go against the Liao court just because of a small person. The reason Wanyan Aguda Nai said this was because he deliberately used a small matter like returning Ashu to anger the monks' slaves and the Liao court. Twenty years have passed since Ashu’s incident, and now I don’t even know if Ashu is alive or not. Where did the Liao court return Ashu from? Therefore, Wanyan Aguda returned it to Ashu.
Hearing this, the monk's slave said: "Listen, Emperor Jin. It was indeed the imperial edict that asked you to conquer Ashu in the first place. However, Ashu has come to the court in person, confessed his crime and repented, and the court has pardoned his sins, and he has been protected by the court. How can you go back on your word and return Ashu to you? If the imperial court hands Ashu back to you, wouldn’t the imperial court have no credibility and encourage betrayal?"
When Wanyan Aguda saw this, he said angrily: "That's nonsense! Ashu blocks Yinglu, and he is the judge of the court. The court assigned Wanyan tribe to conquer, but Wanyan tribe lost troops and generals, and finally defeated Ashu, but the court appointed him to conquer himself And protect the defeated objects, what kind of truth is this? Is there such a truth in the world? Don't say anything else. Your country must either return Ashu immediately, or prepare for a war. Our army will launch an attack immediately. .”
Seeing that Wanyan Aguda could not be intimidated, the monk's servant lowered his voice and said, "Isn't this bad? The Jurchens were originally vassals of our country, and now they have established themselves as a country. This is a treason. Our court even advocates for peace, but you are doing the opposite. What’s the point of pressing forward step by step?”
The concession of the monk's slaves exposed the Liao army's nature of being strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Wanyan Agu was more emboldened and shouted loudly: "What truth do you want?! When two armies are facing each other, strength is the truth. Since wherever your Liao army goes, not a single blade of grass grows; then, let's start a war! I, the Jurchen, will fight with you, the Khitan , there is no reason to tell you! To tell you the truth, I should have cut off your dog's head! Because of the custom of not beheading the envoys when the two armies are fighting, I will let you go back and see how I can behead you again on the battlefield. The dog head. Why don’t you get out of here?!”
The monk's slave was blamed and went out of the tent in embarrassment, returned to the formation, and reported the above situation to the capital commander Yelvorido.
Yelvoriduo was furious when he heard the report, and said to the generals: "The Jurchens are very unreasonable! This capital has sent an army of 300,000 troops to conquer him, but he wants me to hand him over to Ashu. Is it possible that the 300,000 troops of the Jurchen army are here to conquer him?" The power is not equal to that of an Ashu?! In that case, there is nothing to say. Let’s hit him first so that he will be scared, and then go and negotiate with him.”
Immediately, Yelu Oriduo ordered the war to begin. The war drums of the Liao army were beaten, and the troops were organized to fight.
Wanyan Aguda led Zhu Bojilie and the Jurchen generals to return to the main camp of the Chinese army, stood on Gaofu, and arranged their troops in formation.
On Gaofu, Wanyan Aguda watched for a while and ordered the cavalry to move out first to attack the Liao army. The Jurchens raised their troops and rushed towards the center of the Liao army. Wanyan Aguda also ordered Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Moulianghu to lead the right army to dispatch to attack the left army of the Liao army.
The vanguard of the left army of the Liao Kingdom was General Xiao Deguang. He wielded a pair of sledgehammers, weighing about three hundred kilograms, and had the courage of ten thousand men. At this moment, under the command of Xiao Deguang, the left army of the Liao army was outflanking the Chinese army of Wanyan Aguda.
The Jin's right army, led by Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Moulianghu, rushed towards the Liao army's left army. Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Moulianghu took the lead and rushed into the Liao Left Army. They met Xiao Deguang, the pioneer of the Liao Left Army.
"Hey!" Wanyan Nianhan shouted loudly and shouted: "I am Nianhan, the vanguard of Dajin's right route army. Who are you? Take your life quickly!" Wanyan Nianhan shouted loudly, and then came over to kill him. . Suddenly, a general rushed behind Wanyan Nianhan and shouted loudly: "Commander, stop here and watch me kill this guy!"
Wanyan Nianhan turned his head and saw that it was Wanyan Tur, the Jurchen general. Wanyan Tu'er used a big sword and rushed towards Xiao Deguang with a shout. Xiao Deguang and Wanyan Tuer met head-on. Xiao Deguang raised the hammer and hit Wanyan Tuer's head. Wanyan Tu'er dodged sideways and swung his knife to chop Xiao Deguang. The two sides fought for five rounds, with no winner or loser.
Wanyan Nianhan was already impatient. He waved the sword in his hand and shouted an order: "Jurchens! Kill them!"
The soldiers of the Jin Kingdom were all good at fighting and very brave. Following Wanyan Nianhan's shout of killing, they rushed into the Liao army's formation and hacked and killed them.
The left army of the Liao Kingdom was suddenly charged and killed by the Jurchens, and chaos suddenly broke out. The Liao soldiers did not intend to fight, but instead ran in all directions.
