Under Zhuojun City, in the Jurchen camp.
Wanyan Aguda held a banquet to reward all the soldiers under his command.
More than a month ago, Wanyan Aguda adopted General Nurhachi's plan and sent envoys to form alliances with Yelu Abaoji who had raised high rebel flags to fight against Temujin, and induced Yelu Abaoji to raise troops to attack Temujin's rear and defeat Temujin. He has two generals, Subotai and Chi Laowen.
Temujin had no choice but to personally lead the army back to the grassland to take charge, leaving his beloved son Tuo Lei to lead the army to confront Wanyan Aguda.
Although Tuo Lei is skillful in using troops, he is still young and is still slightly inferior compared to the wily Wanyan Aguda. After a series of defeats, they lost several strategic locations on the outskirts of Zhuojun.
"Father, Tuo Lei's son has been defeated in a row, so there is nothing to worry about. This Zhuojun is already in our pocket!" Wanyan Aguda's eldest son, Wanyan Zongwang, happily chewed a piece of cooked mutton and moved towards Wanyan Aguda. Congratulations.
"Don't underestimate Torre. Although he has been defeated by me one after another in the past few days, his troops have not been damaged. If it were you, could you do it? This kid is about the same age as you. Zong Han and Zong Bi are about the same age, I'm afraid he will be your big enemy in the future!" Although Wanyan Aguda was warning Wanyan Zongwang, the pride on his face could not be restrained.
On Wanyan Aguda's left hand side, Fan Wencheng, the counselor behind General Nurhachi, was the most attentive. He picked up the wine bowl and said slowly: "The words of the Wolf Lord are true, Torre's child does have some abilities. But from what I see, the Wolf Lord With great talents and great strategies, I have countless fierce generals under my command. I, the Jurchen, will be able to dominate the world within ten years, so how can Torre have the chance to compete with several of your highnesses?"
"Hahaha, well said!" Everyone in the tent laughed wildly. Wanyan Aguda nodded with some approval, picked up the big bowl and said, "Come on, everyone, in order to complete the great cause as soon as possible, drink this cup with me."
"Report, Lord Wolf, something bad has happened!"
At this moment, there was a rapid sound of horse hoofbeats. A Jurchen soldier covered in blood rolled off his saddle and fell off his horse. He rushed into the tent and shouted: "Lord Wolf, the Sui army raided Xinchang six days ago. The two generals Wan Yanliang and Guo Yaoshi guarded it. The city cannot be sustained, the city is broken and people are killed, and the defenders in the city are also completely damaged.”
Bang!
The wine bowl in Wanyan Aguma's hand immediately fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
Wanyan Jindanzi was an impulsive character. He couldn't hold his breath when he heard this. He strode up to the messenger, picked him up like a chicken, and asked with a fierce face: "Fart, Luo Yi." We are blocking the old man in the city of Zhuojun. How can he get the troops to attack Xinchang? Moreover, his troops have already been defeated by our army. There are 8,000 defenders in Xinchang. How can he attack the city? "
The defeated Jurchen soldier who reported the news was a centurion from the Xinchang garrison. He stood beside Wan Yanliang and Guo Yaoshi when they were guarding the city that day, and heard their conversation. At that moment, he quickly said: "Go back to the general, I will never dare to lie. The invading Sui army numbered 50,000. According to General Guo Yaoshi, this Sui army was sent by Sui Emperor Yang Gao, and the leading general was named Zhang Xun. , not a subordinate of Luo Yi."
"That's even more fart!"
As a former Youzhou town general, Wu Sangui had some understanding of the general trend of the world. He immediately said: "Emperor Yang Gaoyuan of the Sui Dynasty was in the south of the Yangtze River, and his rule was separated from Youzhou by Hebei. Zhu Yuanzhang in Hebei was a rebel. How is it possible to lend the road to the Sui army?"
"This little man doesn't know, but that's what General Guo Yaoshi said at that time."
The centurion shook his head, raised his head and looked at Wanyan Aguda and said: "Lord Wolf, this matter is absolutely true. Even if I borrow the courage of this villain, I would not dare to lie about the military situation!"
Wanyan Aguda frowned slightly, lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said: "Golden marbles, put him down. He is right. No one dares to lie about such a big matter. Something must have happened in Xinchang City at this time!"
Wu Sangui said in confusion: "But where will the Sui army come from? Is it possible that Zhu Yuanzhang is really willing to take advantage of it? Isn't he afraid that the Sui army will attack Guo on a false route and destroy him first?"
"Maybe the Sui army came from the sea!"
Just then, a deep voice sounded. Everyone in the tent looked for someone to speak, and the person who spoke was Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Aguda's clan brother. Wanyan Loushi's martial arts skills can only be ranked last here, but his sharp vision is not far behind Wanyan Aguda in terms of strategic ability.
"maritime?"
Wanyan Loushi nodded: "Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is willing to take advantage of the road, the Sui army cannot bypass Zhuojun. The only explanation is that they came from the sea. There is an old saying among the Han people that ships in the south and horses in the north must rely on the south With the shipbuilding technology of the Han people, it is not impossible to cross the sea from the south of the Yangtze River to Youzhou."
Wanyan Aguda's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately nodded in agreement: "I heard that as early as more than ten years ago when the Sui army attacked Goguryeo, the general Hu'er marched from the sea many times. More than ten years later, the Han people The shipbuilding technology may have become more sophisticated, and it may be possible to reach Youzhou directly from the south of the Yangtze River."
Wanyan Zongwang said with some confusion: "But even so, why didn't the Sui army come to Zhuo County to support Luo Yi? Instead, they marched towards Beiping County in the opposite direction?"
Wanyan Aguda glanced at Wanyan Zongwang with some disappointment, then turned his attention to Wanyan Zonghan on the other side.
Wanyan Zonghan stood up hurriedly and said: "Lord Wolf, in my opinion, the Sui army thought that with their strength, they could not defeat our army head-on. So they decided to take advantage of the fact that our army and the main force of the Yuan army were restrained under Zhuojun City. The empty territory in Youzhou is a good opportunity to penetrate into the hinterland of Youzhou to gather the Han troops and horses in the territory to accumulate strength and destroy our rear to the maximum extent."
Wanyan Aguda nodded solemnly and said: "I have to say that there are indeed some capable people in the Sui army. Now our army and the Yuan army are facing each other. Although they have a slight upper hand, it is impossible to deploy an army that can defeat them. Fifty thousand troops and horses.”
At this moment, Gao Biao, who was strong and fierce-looking, suddenly stood up and said loudly: "Lord Wolf, don't worry, the general will be incompetent. I hope to get ten thousand elite soldiers, I will defeat the Sui army, capture and kill Zhang Xun, and return!"
When Wanyan Aguda heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly. This Gao Biao was indeed very brave and brave, and he took risks like flying. Since he raised his army, he has taken the lead in dozens of battles, large and small. But being foolhardy is really a headache.
Fan Wencheng saw the wry smile on Wanyan Aguda's face, and he immediately tried to persuade Gao Biao: "General Gao, don't underestimate the Sui army. Although the Youzhou army was defeated miserably by our army, their combat effectiveness is obvious to all. If you want to rely on it, Ten thousand soldiers and horses defeated 50,000 Sui troops, I'm afraid..."
Gao Biao grinned and said: "The Youzhou Army is the Youzhou Army. They have been on the border for a long time, and they must be very capable in fighting for many years. But this Sui army comes from the south. Although I have never been there, I have heard that Can't live up to the prosperity there. How powerful can an army in the gentle countryside be? My Jurchen son may not be able to match one to ten, but one to five is already a compliment to them."
