When Zhao Huan got the news, the war had actually begun.
Guo Yaoshi's marching route was to start from Handan, then walk through Dingtao, pass through Jiyin, and then pass through Wanting, and then they could enter the Central Plains. By then, they would not be far from Kaifeng.
But as soon as they passed through Jiyin and before they reached Wanting, they were blocked by Nianhan, or they were betrayed by the Guangji army.
The Guangji Army was originally responsible for garrisoning in the direction of Dingtao, but was defeated and collapsed during the Battle of Handan. After that, the remaining troops gathered in the mountains near Jiyin and did not dare to move.
Not to mention Pharmacist Guo, even Zhao Huan could only say that he was angry and refused to fight.
Who takes these defeated troops seriously?
But Guo Yaoshi fell into their hands in the end. Liu Yanqing, the general of the Song Army who had surrendered to Jin Wushu before, went directly to the vicinity of Handan and surrendered the defeated army without anyone knowing.
They were not recruited to surrender so that they could pose any threat to Handan's guards Guo Yaoshi and Yue Fei. The reason why they were recruited to surrender was just to cover the entry of a Jin army.
That is to bypass Jingxing Pass from Hedong and then enter the Nianhan part of Dexin Mansion.
After the reinforcements under Li Gang appeared at Jingxing Pass, Nianhan knew that the endless attacks of the Song army showed that they still had spare strength, and at the same time, the Jin people were not without pressure.
They rose quickly, but after all, Wanyan Aguda had just passed away a few years ago, and the internal instability was only suppressed by Wanyan Sheng.
But the lingering Xixia people and the resurgent "Liao" also made Nianhan and even the entire Jin court feel very awkward.
The problems caused by Emperor Zuo Yelu Yanxi that day were finally extinguished. Another person named Yelu Dashi came out. When Nianhan heard this name, he also had a headache.
It was this guy and the prime ministers Zhang Lin and Li Chuwen who stayed in Nanjing of the Liao Kingdom, and Xiao Qian, the governor of Nanjing, supported King Yelu Chun of Qin and Jin to ascend the throne and called him Emperor Tianxi.
This group of people also built a huge prestige on Tong Guan.
Now that things are changing and people are changing, these people are already fleeing, dying, and surrendering.
But this Yelu Dashi didn't give up. He was pressed to the ground, rubbed hard and even captured alive for attacking their Jin army.
But this guy just escaped, and now he managed to get tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to join Yelu Yanxi in Kedun City to continue to establish their so-called Liao Kingdom.
It was also very impressive.
There are also more than a dozen tribes, large and small, that provide them with soldiers and horses, which makes the Jin Dynasty court very embarrassed.
It has been announced that this year is the last year to attack the Song Dynasty. It would be great if the Song Dynasty can be destroyed, but if not, we cannot continue to torment in the Song Dynasty.
Get as many benefits as you can get, and return to the army as soon as possible to consolidate your territory.
After they reach the true peak of their strength, it doesn't matter if they destroy these guys in one fell swoop!
It was precisely because of this order that Nian Han directly sought the consent of Wanyan Gao and other veteran generals, and wrote to Wanyan Lou's room. A total of many soldiers and horses secretly came to Hebei Road to force Jin Wushu, who was becoming more and more "random", to He took away all his military power and took over the task of attacking the Song Dynasty.
When he came to Hebei Road, Handan had just been lost, and Wanyan Mu's defeated army had just returned to his camp and told Nianhan everything.
At the same time, Nianhan also discovered a way to secretly enter the Central Plains from Handan.
Although he could not guarantee that Yaoshi Guo would definitely take this path, it did not prevent him from setting an ambush here.
Because in Nianhan's eyes, this is a difficult choice for Pharmacist Guo, but for him, it is the "only way".
"General Guo, a certain family has been waiting here for a long time. Now we have caught General Guo. It is really... a great honor!"
Nianhan looked at the army of Pharmacist Guo that was surrounded on a low mountain. He walked to the front of the two army formations and smiled at Pharmacist Guo with a somewhat arrogant look on his face.
Facing this sudden appearance of a powerful enemy, Medical Master Guo did not feel any panic or loss, but just shook his head helplessly.
"Commander Nianhan, your Excellency is not here on Hedong Road but is here because...even you Jin people can't sustain this war, right?"
Pharmacist Guo was in the battle formation. Although his talent was not as good as Yue Fei's, he was extremely experienced. When he saw Nianhan appearing here in person, he understood that the person in charge of Hebei Road had definitely changed.
Moreover, he also knew that with the courage and habits of Jin people to cultivate the next generation, Nianhan ran from Hedong Road to Hebei Road regardless of his face. This was definitely the reason why he had to appear.
The biggest reason...the Jin people couldn't hold on any longer.
Nian Han looked at Pharmacist Guo and couldn't help but nodded. This guy is indeed a talent, but... he can't keep him!
"Mr. Guo, if you surrender, I guarantee you can survive!"
"You just have to hand over your rights and wait for the day when you will be sent away by a glass of poisonous wine?" Medical Master Guo was extremely sober. He chuckled at Nian Han and then drew out the sword from his waist, "Come on, come on, Do it quickly!"
After seeing Guo Yaoshi's invitation to fight, Na Nianhan's face sank and he immediately waved his hand. Countless Jin men dismounted and charged away, while the surrendered Guangji Army sent their carts to them. around.
Huge boulders were lifted up one by one, and then flew down towards the short mountain. At the same time, Pharmacist Guo on the short mountain also began to continuously arrange troops and horses to defend the short mountain.
At the same time, a stream of arrows also fell on the Jin soldiers. These people were all the confidants of Medicine Master Guo, and they were far from ordinary soldiers.
It can be said that they are all the elites of the ever-victorious army!
Under such strict defense, Nianhan's progress was not too fast, but his expression changed really quickly.
"Commander, what's the problem?"
This time, the person who followed Nianhan was his confidant Gao Qingyi. Although he was a surrender of the Liao Kingdom, he was quite capable. Although his personality was relatively greedy, his talent was enough to make people respect him. Shortcomings ignored.
Especially proficient in Chinese and Jurchen language, he was not only a general in Nianhan's army, but also often traveled to various places as his envoy. At the same time, he was also a person who knew Song, Liao and even the world very well.
At this time, Gao Qingyi could see that Nianhan's mood had changed and couldn't help but come to him and ask.
"Your eyesight is better than that of a certain family. Let's see if there are any other special people here besides Pharmacist Guo?"
Gao Qingyi was stunned by this question, but his brain was very good. After a brief moment of astonishment, he immediately looked at the short mountain, and then he also discovered the problem.
"Although I don't know what the recently famous Yue Fei looks like, I know that there are several people here who are not here.
Lu Yihao, the former transfer envoy of Yanshan Prefecture, was a close confidant of Zhongshi Dao. He had fought against the Liao Kingdom once or twice, and Cai Jing was also rumored to be quite famous...
None of these people seem to be here..."
"Then Pharmacist Guo went to Kaifeng to surrender. How could he leave without taking these important people with him? Could it be possible that he abandoned them together in Handan?"
A sneer appeared on Nianhan's face, and with a gesture of his hand, a ranger messenger immediately half-knelt in front of him.
"Go and tell the two idiots Wu Shu and Wanyan Yanmu who are attacking Handan that Handan City is not that easy to deal with. Let them be careful!"
"No!" The knight quickly left after accepting the order, leaving Gao Qingyi beside him who couldn't help but become confused again.
"Why didn't the commander-in-chief tell His Highness Jin Wushu that they have... a big problem in Handan City?"
"Some people always think that just because they have a Han name, they are superior to others. Even though they don't have this ability, they are already a little arrogant and don't know what to do."
After Nianhan sneered, Gao Qingyi immediately shrank his neck and stepped aside, daring not to say anything more. There were some things Nianhan could say, but he couldn't continue asking.
After the establishment of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Xiyin, as the Prime Minister of the Jin Kingdom, single-handedly created the Jin people's own writing and inheritance, and then these Jurchens also completely let go of the past.
Especially among the clan, they gave themselves the surname Wanyan to show their nobility, including Nianhan who also changed his name to Wanyan Zonghan, Oli Bu also became Wanyan Zongwang, and even Jin Wushu also had his own name Wanyan. Yan Zongbi.
But Nianhan didn't say anything to the others. Only Jin Wushu refused to call him by his Wanyan family name, but instead called him Wushu or Jinwushu.
This shows that the relationship between the two people is not very good...or rather very bad.
Nianhan attacked Guo Yaoshi here, and Handan City on the other side also ushered in their battle.
Jin Wushu and Wanyan Yanmu joined forces again. This time there were not only many Jin generals, but also the surrendered Song generals such as Dong Cai, Ma Liugao Zida and others.
Even Liu Guangshi, Liu Yanqing's son, appeared beside Jin Wushu.
"Who dares to go to Handan to persuade him to surrender? If he can succeed, a certain family will not hesitate to reward him!" Although his command power was taken away by Nianhan, his status is still very high.
At the same time, the surrendered troops of the Song Dynasty and the soldiers and horses under Wanyan Jian Mu did not have any objections to him. With these people by his side.
Jin Wushu is not worried, he still has to achieve great results in this battle to destroy the Song Dynasty...
Only in this way can he become a powerful official of the Jin Kingdom!
Many Song generals who heard Jin Wushu's words were also excited. In their view, Handan City was now a group of abandoned wretches.
How can a guy with no confidence at all resist their army.
"General Liu Guangshi is willing to go!"
Before anyone else could say anything, Liu Yanqing's son Liu Shiguang had already arrived in front of Jin Wushu.
He also needs to make contributions!
