As soon as Wanyan Wu's words about begging for money came out, everyone's eyes turned to Wanyan Zonggou... They all had expressions of gloating, wanting to see the dignity of the Song Dynasty's counselor King Kang when he was paralyzed by fear. Allow.
But contrary to their expectations... and beyond Wanyan Zonggou's own expectations, Zonggou actually wasn't too scared!
Maybe it was God's will in the dark. Although Zhao Gou was very timid, he was not afraid of Yue Fei... He couldn't be afraid even if he wanted to!
Seeing Wanyan Zonggou's expression as normal, the group of Wanyan around were a little surprised... Could it be that this Wuli girl has also experienced it?
Or... is he not that cowardly after all? Has he been acting cowardly all this time?
By the way, he is the son of Emperor Zhuangzong of the Song Dynasty and the brother of the Mad King Zhao Kai. His eldest brother Zhao Huan personally marched to Yangzhou last year to resist Wu Shu's 100,000 troops. His twelfth brother Zhao Zhi has been guarding Hedong for a long time. His eighteenth My younger brother Zhao Zhen also led his troops to raid Songzhou in the first month of the year... They seemed to have no cowards in their family! This Wuli girl is just pretending, her city is very deep!
When I thought of Wanyan Zonggou's palace, the eyes of other Wanyan present gradually became cold and stern... This Wuli girl is not simple! Be careful!
Wanyan Zonggou also saw these expressions of indifference in Wanyan's eyes, and his heart went crazy! What do these people mean? How should I reply to Wild Dad?
Wanyan Zonggou, who didn't know how to speak, simply came up with an ambiguity. He said to Wu Qimai: "Father, my son is willing to test Yue Fei's reality, but I am not good at using troops... I am afraid of ruining my father's important affairs."
After hearing this, Wanyan Wu Qimai seemed a little shaken, so he glanced at Wanyan Xiabao, wanting to ask for his opinion.
"Your Majesty," Wanyan Xiebao seemed to have misunderstood what Wu was asking for, and immediately clapped his chest, "I am accompanying the King of Song on this trip, so I can ascertain Yue Fei's authenticity."
Wu Qimai no longer wavered, and smiled and said to Wanyan Zonggou: "Sister Wuli, if Xiebao goes with you, it will definitely not cause any trouble. I will ask Xiebao to bring five thousand Jurchen cavalry to help you... ..You can go with peace of mind, I am waiting for your good news in Wulahai City!"
Feel free to go, right?
This is not reassuring to hear!
Although Wanyan Zonggou wasn't very afraid of Yue Fei, he still felt a little bad...because he suddenly found that he had become the person he hated most without knowing it.
Although he changed his surname to Wanyan, recognized his wild father, and was granted the title of King of Song, his essence was that he was a vassal commander who supported troops and occupied land...a lord of a vassal town in the Great Jin Kingdom!
It is natural that such status should not be tolerated by a group of Wanyan from the Great Jin Dynasty!
Now that the wild father Wu Qimai is still there, the Wanyan gang can't touch him for the time being, but what will happen when the wild father is gone? Where can he find a new wild father to save his life?
Wanyan Zong thought about it, and suddenly he had an idea: By the way... isn't it my army and territory that Wanyan Zong can't stand? Isn’t it okay if I don’t want it? Take advantage of this time to kill Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin's soldiers first!
Without soldiers, he naturally cannot be a "Jiedushi". If he cannot be a "Jiedushi", he is just a prince-in-law with a bare golden sword. What else is there to be afraid of?
Wanyan Zonggou was quite smart, and he actually thought of this way of life!
At that moment, I no longer shied away, I simply took over the errand with Wanyan Xiebao and went to the Jurchen military camp in Wu Lahai City to mobilize 5,000 Jurchens with the gold medal arrows bought by Wanyan Wu. The cavalry then left Wu Lahaicheng and rushed directly to Zonggou's own "Song King's Army" camp, surrounding the camp with water.
What?
Surrounded Zonggou's own "Song King's Army" camp? Not wrong?
Of course that’s right! If they hadn't surrounded the group of soldiers under Wanyan Zonggou, would they be willing to fight Yue Fei honestly? Otherwise, why would Wanyan Wu beg to buy 5,000 Jurchen cavalry? These Jurchen cavalry are not used to test Yue Fei, but to supervise the battle team!
Using 5,000 Jurchen cavalry to escort 8,000 traitor troops to the battlefield to die... This Wanyan Wu beggar was really ruthless!
Kong Yanzhou, Liu Lin, and the officers under them were quickly pulled out of the camp by the Jurchen cavalry... Those Jurchen soldiers were not good people either. Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin asked them what they had learned He didn't tell them anything, he just urged them to get out quickly.
This frightened people like Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin. They all thought that Wanyan Zonggou had offended Wu Qimai for something and wanted to behead him! And they are Wanyan Zonggou's confidants, so they have to die together... This is not okay!
When several of them were dragged in front of Wanyan's Xianbao horse, they could no longer stand. They all lay on the ground and kowtowed like garlic. Among them, Kong Yanzhou was the most courageous. Even when death was imminent, he did not forget to defend himself.
"Supervisor, please forgive me, the younger one is not King Song's best friend, the younger one is loyal to the Kingdom of Jin... The matter of King Song bullying the princess has nothing to do with the younger one!"
"Yes, yes, yes..." Liu Lin also exposed the news together, "I also heard that King Song beat the princess when he was drunk..."
What about this?
Wanyan Xiebao was very surprised when he heard these words. He turned to look at Wanyan Zonggou who was frightened and turned pale. "Uncle, is there really something about getting drunk and hitting golden branches?"
"No, I'm not drunk..." Wanyan Zonggou was so angry that his two men couldn't even speak.
When Wanyan Xiebao heard this, he was even more surprised, "What? You beat me when you're not drunk?"
"I, I..." Wanyan Zonggou didn't know how to explain. It was obvious that he was the one who was being beaten, but why did the two traitors, Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin, say the opposite?
Wanyan Xiebao didn't want to ask any more questions, so he waved his hand and said, "It's not convenient for my nephew to get involved in matters between uncle and aunt..."
Then with a straight face, he said to Kong Yanzhou, Liu Lin and others who had already discovered that Zhao Gou was still there, and were dumbfounded: "Today, I and the King of Song have issued an imperial edict to lead you to send troops! You hurry back to the camp to mobilize the troops and horses. Prepare food for another 10 days and set off after lunch. Anyone who dares to delay will be killed without mercy!"
He glanced at Wanyan Zonggou, whose face turned blue, and then said calmly: "The battle was well fought. I guarantee that nothing will happen to you, and I will let you return to the feudal country and continue to dominate... If we win, No, I won’t spare you!”
He came with a supervising team of 5,000 people. If he said no mercy, he would get immediate results and behead him immediately!
The knife is placed on the neck, and the efficiency is naturally increased. Although most of Wanyan Zonggou's soldiers had been with the Song Dynasty, they no longer dare to think about the big fish and meat of the past. Now if we are allowed to pull out, we must pull out. If we are allowed to die, we must die. If we hesitate for a moment, our heads will fall to the ground. There is no room for negotiation at all.
So Wanyan Xiebao asked them to set off after lunch, but Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin had assembled more than 8,000 mournful soldiers before noon.
So Wanyan Xiebao did not wait until noon, and immediately ordered to set off, with the infantry in front and the cavalry pressing down. The 13,000-strong army headed west in a mighty manner.
...
"Lieutenant, there is a shoal in front of you, you can ford it! After crossing the river, and then walking east along the river for about a hundred miles, we will reach Wu Lahai City!"
A Khitan guide who was leading the way pointed to a medium-sized river flowing slowly in front of him and said to Yue Fei behind him.
At noon on the third day after Wanyan Zonggou and Wanyan Xiebao led their troops to the west, Yue Fei's army had arrived at a ford on the North River of the Yellow River.
The army he led had now reached between the Yellow River Beihe and Heishan, less than 100 miles away from Wu Lahai City.
According to the plan, Yue Fei's goal this time was not to contact Yelu Dashi through Heishan Pass - in fact, Zhao Kai didn't know where Yelu Dashi was?
Therefore, Yue Fei has only one goal for this trip, which is Wu La Haicheng!
After taking Wu Lahai City, the defenders placed by Jin soldiers at several mountain passes in Montenegro were naturally unable to maintain themselves and would run away on their own without the need for Song troops to drive them away.
The thirty to forty thousand golden soldiers blocking the fork of the Yellow River had no choice but to run away.
At this time, Yue Fei stood up from the stirrups, raised his eyes and looked into the distance, looking at the meandering Yellow River and the boundless green grassland in front of him, and he was just filled with emotion.
This was the homeland of China as early as the Qin Dynasty. Later, after hundreds of thousands of years of painstaking efforts, countless Chinese ancestors were buried here.
Unexpectedly, after the Rebellion of the Five Dynasties in the late Tang Dynasty, this homeland was no longer within the territory of China. It has been two hundred years now, right?
Beside him, the young Li Shifu and the older Wu Jie also reined in their horses and stood looking at the scene in front of them with equally excited expressions on their faces. They were not excited about the fact that they were about to regain the Han family's 200-year lost territory... they were excited about a group of Jurchen cavalry on the other side of the river.
The number of these Jurchen cavalry was greater than that of all the Jurchen cavalry they encountered along the way. There were three hundred cavalry scattered on the south bank of the Yellow River, watching from a distance the Song army that was about to cross. .
Then the large group of rangers must have come to protect the dignitaries of the Jin Army - this means that there is a large army of Jin people nearby!
A big war is about to begin, and just thinking about it makes people excited!
On the Song people's side, someone's blood is boiling.
But on the Jin Bing side, there was someone whose face was ashen!
Those who came to watch the formation on the north bank of the Yellow River were none other than Wanyan Zonggou and Wanyan Xiebao. The reconnaissance cavalry they sent had discovered Yue Fei's army yesterday.
However, they did not dare to directly face the decisive battle. Instead, they occupied favorable terrain on the southern slope of Black Mountain and waited for the Song army to arrive. At the same time, Xie Bao also suggested that the clan members come together to view Yue Fei's military appearance from a distance.
But to their surprise, they happened to see Yue Fei's army crossing the Yellow River and the North River!
"Supervisor...Song's army is about to cross the river! Let them leave quickly!"
Wanyan Zonggou's voice changed... Although he was not afraid of Yue Fei, there were tens of thousands of people on the other side of the river, and except for one, none of them were Yue Fei!
Wanyan Xiebao saw a group of armored cavalry holding long spears and preparing to cross the river. At the same time, there were several large tube-like objects placed on the bank of the river. He frowned and asked Wanyan Zonggou, " King Song, what are those big tube-like things?"
Wanyan Zonggou glanced at it and said to himself: Where can I go?
Thinking of this, he replied: "Is it some kind of rocket launcher? We'll find out tomorrow when we try it!"
