The situation of the battle was changing really fast, just like the little kid's face, he was crying and laughing sometimes, and it was totally unpredictable. Especially the changes in the war situation around Kaifeng Mansion are dizzying. One twist after another made everyone in the game a little confused.
First, the Dajin Heavenly Soldiers swept down and were about to rush outside the city of Kaifeng. Even the most powerful Taoist emperors of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji and Guobin Zhao Huan, were frightened. Even good emperors were unwilling to become emperors. He gave King Yun Zhao Kai, who still had some courage, a crown to top it off, and then they ran away together.
But such a dangerous situation was suddenly turned around due to the outbreak of two characters, "Gao Taiwei" and "Zhao Bupo", who were not supposed to shine brightly!
The Jin people's military front was first frustrated at the front line of the Sanshan Floating Bridge, and later twice at Yuncheng and Hecaikou on the edge of Liangshan. The losses were considerable, and the whole camp was injured due to a cold water soak. Although they still mustered up their final energy, the entire army marched westward, and defeated the 100,000-strong army led by Li Gang, the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty, at Huhe Town in Puzhou, and surrounded Li Gang and more than 50,000 Song troops at Chengshi. county seat.
However, the vigor of the Jin Bing East Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu seemed to have been almost exhausted. Not only were they unable to march westward to Kaifeng Prefecture, but they were also unable to feed the more than 50,000 people trapped under Li Gang's command. Although Chengshi County was small, it was a county near Kaifeng Prefecture after all, and the city was still very solidly built. Just think about it and you will know what it would be like to squeeze 50,000 soldiers into this small but strong castle. To lay down such a castle, the main force of the Jindong Route Army, which had lost most of its energy and was surrounded by Gao Qiu, He Guan, Zhao Bupo, Han Shizhong and other powerful Song troops, would definitely be more than worth the gain.
And when Zhao Kai, an official of the Song Dynasty, personally led his army from Bianliang, Tokyo, to the north, crossed the Sanshan pontoon bridge and entered the boundary of Junzhou, and surrounded Liyang City where Guo Pharmacist was guarding. The main force of the Jin Bing's East Route Army, which had been surrounding Chengshi for some time, finally relieved the siege and marched westward... not to Kaifeng Mansion, but to the northwest, setting up a plan to pounce on Huazhou and defeat Zhao Kai. The gesture of return.
And just when most people thought that a general war would break out in Huazhou that would determine the national destiny of the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The main force of the Jin people suddenly stopped for three days near Wuqiu Town, the intersection of Huazhou, Kaifeng Prefecture, and Xingren Prefecture, until they chased and killed Wanyan Wushu, who was under Li Gang's command and had withdrawn from Chengshi. The cavalry he led came to join him, and then the whole army went north and entered Kaide Mansion.
Kaide Prefecture is also known as Chanzhou, where the Chanyuan Alliance took place. Before the Yellow River changed its course to the north, Chanzhou, Junzhou, and Huazhou were all strategic points on the bank of the Yellow River north of Kaifeng Prefecture. However, because the Yellow River changed its course to the north in Kaide Prefecture, Kaide Prefecture and neighboring Puzhou lost the danger of the Yellow River, and instead became an open door to the north of Kaifeng Prefecture - to the east of this door is The water is bounded by Liangshan Mountain, and to the west is the Sanshan Floating Bridge. The more than 100 miles in the middle are flat and there is no danger to defend!
The Jin soldiers who went north through this open door once again made unexpected moves in the following days. The East Route Army of the Jin Army, which had never fought against a fortified city on its way south, suddenly took aim at Daming Mansion in Beijing during the Song Dynasty during its "Northern Retreat" and attacked Cai Maoyi, the transfer envoy of Hebei Road and an official of Daming Mansion. Caught off guard - the Jin soldiers led by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu first escorted a large number of civilians who had been plundered from Kaide Prefecture, Puzhou and other places to pass outside Daming Prefecture. And when they were camping in the north of Damingfu City that night, they suddenly abandoned the civilians and the whole army moved out overnight, as if the pursuers were approaching!
As a result, the dizzy Cai Mao fell into the trap. Although he had received an order from Zhao Kai asking him to be more alert, he thought the gold thief was being chased by "Gao Taiwei" or "Zhao Bupo", so he had to run all night On the way. So he sent troops out of the city to collect the civilians who had been abandoned by the gold thieves - this was a big achievement!
But he never expected that among these civilians there were actually a small number of Jurchen warriors. When they entered the gate of Damingfu City, they suddenly launched an attack and captured a city gate. Then more than 10,000 gold thieves cavalry roared in and passed through that city gate. Enter Damingfu City!
At this time, there were not many defenders in Damingfu City - since the road from Damingfu to Kaifeng Prefecture had long been opened, all the wealthy gentry in Daming City had fled, and when they fled, they hired A large number of strong men served as bodyguards, so much so that even if the Daming government wanted to recruit more people, no one would be available.
As for the officers and soldiers of Daming Mansion, they are even weaker. They were like that before Kaifeng Mansion. How much stronger can Daming Mansion be? Moreover, Wang Yuan, the former commander of Daming Mansion, also took some of his troops to join Liang Fangping's team.
Therefore, the Daming Mansion, which was suddenly attacked by the Jin soldiers, was unable to resist at all, and Cai Mao, the great man, was not the kind of ruthless person who could lead the soldiers and civilians to fight with the gold thieves in the city. After learning that the city was broken, he simply took the lead and fled. .....
After capturing Damingfu City, a large and fortified city, the Dajin East Route Army led by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu stopped retreating and began to use Damingfu as a stronghold, posing a plan to attack near Kaifeng Mansion. A long-lasting gesture!
However, this battle to seize Damingfu City seemed to have exhausted the last bit of vigor of the Jindong Route Army. After capturing Damingfu City, they made no further southward movements. Instead, all the garrison troops stationed in various cities south of Damingfu City were recalled, and more than ten castles including Liyang were abandoned. After concentrating their forces, they began to attack north along the east bank of the Beiliu Yellow River... It was not a large-scale attack, but to capture some towns close to the east bank of the Beiliu Yellow River. It seemed that they wanted to prepare for the follow-up The Jin army created a passage into and out of the hinterland of the Central Plains!
A Kaifeng battle of unprecedented scale may already be brewing!
...
Go out to the bank of Hu River and reach Ningzhou.
Dozens of Qingqi in white robes flew across the wilderness of Huiningzhou, the land of the Great Golden Dragon, and headed straight for the Emperor's Wall, the largest walled city on the shore of Hu River.
The so-called Emperor's Village is actually a circle of adobe walls surrounded by some adobe houses and white wooden houses...it looks like a quite primitive village.
However, the name "Emperor" of this village is not random. There is really an emperor in the village!
He is not an ordinary emperor, but Wanyan Wu, the emperor of Dajin, a great empire that spans thousands of miles, begging for money!
This Emperor's Village was the residence of Emperor Wu Qimai and the center of power of the Jin Dynasty!
And the Emperor's Village is not the only village on the shore of Hu River... The Kingdom of Jin has more than just emperors! There are also dignitaries from all over the dynasty! Don’t everyone have to have their own village, village, or village?
Therefore, the place names in Dajin Emperor Duning are all high-end, grand, yet simple and rustic.
For example, "Emperor's Village", "Xiangguo Village", "Taizi Village", "Princess Village"...these are all genuine names, not false at all. There is really an emperor in the Emperor's Village, there is really a Prime Minister in the Xiangguo Village, there is of course a real prince in the Prince's Village, and there is a genuine princess in the Princess Village.
This press shows that there is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger at the edge of the Tiger River! The princes, princes, princesses, and important figures in the prime minister's country are really all in a car.
Moreover, these people are all quite simple, and you really can’t tell them apart just by looking at their clothes.
For example, among the group of Qingqi in robes heading towards the Emperor's Village, the leader was chubby and had a bun face. He was a very noble man who was less than 20 years old. His name was Wanyan Xiebao, and he was the second son of Wanyan Nianhan, the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom. He was nicknamed "Crow Langjun"!
Why such a nickname? Because this kid has been a bit clumsy since he was a child, and he often said some stupid words that were very effective, such as "The second prince's mare will have dystocia", "The unmarried girl in the Prime Minister's country will have a belly again", "The eldest princess is pregnant again" "I want to be beaten by her prince-in-law", "The emperor seems to be beaten"... In short, this kid has nothing good to say, and what he says is quite accurate!
Therefore, including his father, the eldest prince Nianhan, the nobles of the Kingdom of Jin did not like him very much.
However, he is only the second son, and there is an older brother She Yema, so he is not the next eldest prince - the "prince" of the Jin Kingdom does not mean the crown prince. Their crown prince's name is Shu Ban Bo Ji Lie, and he is not the emperor. The emperor's sons were elected from among the emperor's brothers, sons, and nephews.
"Prince" refers to the emperor's son, and any emperor's son can be called a prince. However, the top-ranked princes such as "eldest prince", "second prince", "third prince" and "fourth prince" are not just random names. Generally, only those with inheritance and status can be crown princes.
Nianhan, the father of Xiebao, was the "eldest prince" of the Jurchen tribe in Hushui. His grandfather was the eldest son of Wugunai, the leader of the Jurchen tribe. Because of "brothers, friends and brothers", he gave him the position of heir. His younger brother Wanyan Qilibo—is Aguda’s father!
However, the Jurchen tribe at that time was still implementing a tribal feudal system. The leader who gave up his position as leader still retained a large number of tribesmen, and his descendants also retained the right to be elected to the Banbo Jilie.
And because Nianhan is the eldest grandson of the eldest son, he is the eldest of his generation who is qualified to be the Jurchen leader who is familiar with the fierceness of the Banbo. Therefore, the title of "eldest prince" is well deserved!
Wan Yan Xie Bao, Lord Crow Lang, is the second oldest person in his generation... It seems that there is a certain chance that he can become a proficient Ban Bo Ji Lie, or even become the leader of the Emperor's Village!
Crow Langjun, who was thinking about something good, had already arrived at the gate of the Emperor's Village on flying horse at this time. He could not go in. The gate of the Emperor's Village was blocked by Meng'an's soldiers who were begged by Emperor Wu. He had to wait for them to report and get permission before entering. ——Since his father, Prince Nianhan, beat up the emperor Wu Qimai, the sentry in front of the emperor's village has become much stricter!
