It is said that in the original time and space, no heroes like Lao Cao were born. Although the Han family had many heroes, they ultimately lacked a leader. As a result, the heroes were either at war with each other, risking their lives, or fighting alone, unable to survive alone, and ultimately ended up in a corner of peace. , sit back and watch the Kingdom of Jin achieve hegemony.
The hegemony of the Jin Kingdom was established, with Youzhou as its central capital. In the Shengwu Hall of the Yanqing Palace in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, portraits of the heroes were painted and hung one after another, known as the "Yanqing Heroes" in history.
Among them, there are twenty-one people who have the most meritorious deeds, and twenty-two people who have completed their work, making a total of forty-three people, all of whom have outstanding military exploits and outstanding abilities.
Among the forty-three heroes, the one who ranks first is Wanyan Xieye, the "King of Liao".
Readers should note that the Jurchens founded the country and rebelled against the Liao Dynasty. Therefore, the word "Liao" is of special significance to the Jurchens. This Wanyan Xie was also able to postulate the title of King of Liao after his death, and was listed among Zacchaeus and Nian. It is natural to imagine what his achievements were before Han, Wushu, Lou Shi and others.
Wanyan Xieye, the Chinese name is Wanyan Gao. He was the fifth son of Jin Shizu Wanyan Gailibo, and the half-brother of Aguda and Wu Qimai. His bravery was extraordinary, and even famous commanders like Lou Shi often took orders from him.
In this time and space, Aguda was saddened by Nianhan's death, so he raised an army that overwhelmed the country. He conquered on two fronts and led the west route army. The east route army was handed over to Xie Ye's command. His ability and status were fully demonstrated.
Xie Ye had previously captured Liao Zhongjing and had more than 100,000 surrendered troops. His own troops originally had 80,000 troops, which can be said to be strong men and horses.
He ordered the resentful army to go to Yuguan to contain it. He led 150,000 troops and divided them into three groups to attack Huangyaguan. When Xieye arrived in person, Xiamo and Yulici led 30,000 Xi soldiers, and Yelu Yujian and Zhao Heshou led 30,000 Xi soldiers. The 50,000 Khitan soldiers under their command were defeated several times at the pass and were unable to move forward.
Xie Ye took a look at the terrain himself and was frightened.
The terrain of Huangyaguan is extremely dangerous. With Guancheng as the center, the city wall extends to the two cliffs, reaching Banlagang Mountain in the east, with cliffs as barriers, and Wangmaoding Mountain in the west, with cliffs as support. The entire section of the Great Wall is built on the two cliffs. It's really daunting to be on the 300-foot-high ridge.
Wan Yanxie had also experienced many battles and was not a single-minded leader. He immediately called Xia Mo and others and asked them carefully about the previous attack on the city. He quickly came to the conclusion: the fighting strength of the defenders was only mediocre, but the soldiers There are many horses and abundant supplies, so they can fight fiercely.
Little did he know that Li Jun, in the name of Li Wudi, slaughtered foreigners in Ji and Tan states and went on a rampage. He had more than 100,000 armored men under his command, who were divided into five teams and took turns to go to the city to hold on. Anyone who fought bravely would be rewarded immediately. The reward was heavy, so although the soldiers and horses were not elite, they were full of vigor.
Xie also saw that the pass was difficult to attack, so he decisively withdrew his troops for twenty miles, found a slightly open place in the mountains, built a city and stationed troops——
It was the location of Xinglong County in later generations, which happened to strangle the main entrance and exit of Huangyaguan.
A few months later, Aguda sent an imperial edict, telling the story of Taiyuan's defeat and asking Xiye to send troops immediately to break the pass.
Xie Ye had no choice but to prepare for a strong attack, but Wu Qimai sent a letter in time, detailing the alliance with the Song Dynasty and his intention to take over Yuguan.
Wanyan Xie was also overjoyed and immediately sent Xi Wang Xiamo to lead the army to join forces with Pharmacist Guo. Within a few days, Yu Pass was indeed broken.
Guo Yaoshi entered the pass, but Xia Mo followed Xie Ye's orders and led the Xi army from the Great Wall to Huangya Pass. Fortunately, Li Jun was alert and saw that the situation was not good and decisively abandoned the pass.
Wanyan Xie also captured Huangya Pass, secretly praising the enemy's decisiveness, and immediately divided his troops into two groups, one with troops and horses. Yelu Yujian and Xia Mo led an army of 50,000, and followed the Great Wall towards Juyong Pass to grab the key. On the other hand, he personally led an army of 100,000 men, entered Huangya Pass, and took Jizhou directly.
In a few days, the Jin soldiers arrived on both sides.
To the east, there were more than 20,000 resentful soldiers and horses, occupying Yutian County, and their troops reached the gate of Jizhou City.
To the north was Wanyan Xieye's army, which occupied Panshan. The forwards reached the north city of Jizhou and set up camp, one after another with the resentful army's camp.
Li Jun knew that the Jin soldiers were powerful, so he made a strategy of "emptying his territory and solidifying his heart". All counties in the state did not defend, and all the soldiers and horses were gathered in Jizhou City to fight a protracted war with him.
The next day, Jin soldiers came out in large numbers and lined up under the city. Wanyan Xie also went out in person to make a generous speech and ordered Li Jun to surrender.
Li Jun stood at the top of the city and laughed and said: "You barbarians, your strength lies in your swords and guns, not your words. Instead of talking about your words, why not stick to your old business and fight with each other? How can you not win but you have worked so hard to endorse it?" ?”
Wanyan Xie's face turned red. His words to persuade him to surrender were indeed written down by others, and he could easily memorize them.
Fortunately, he is also thick-skinned. With a roll of his eyes, he said: "Wonderful! As you wish, we can all fight - do you dare to fight with me?"
Li Jun wanted to delay time, but when he heard what he was saying, he got what he wanted, but he deliberately pondered for a moment, and then slowly nodded: "Fighting generals will fight generals. My name is Li Wudi, how can I be afraid of fighting generals?"
Xie Ye then said: "Then you will send people to fight. Regardless of victory or defeat, next time I will send people and you will fight, and so on."
Li Jun nodded and looked back at Wen Da. Before he could speak, Zhou Tong took a step forward and said, "Brother, how can a general like Brother Wen escape lightly? Wait for me to go out and kill him."
Li Jun frowned slightly - he knew that Zhou Tong's martial arts had made great progress, but after all, it was difficult to compare with Wen Da. Although he agreed to fight to delay the battle, he did not want to lose the first battle and dampen morale, so it was difficult to make a decision.
Zhou Tong smiled and said, "Brother, listen to me. When I went on a mission to the Kingdom of Jin with Brother Wu, Brother Wu carefully inquired about the abilities of everyone there. Wanyan Xieye has always been a scheming person. He will not do anything today." I came to attack the city because I was afraid of losing too much, so I proposed to fight. However, I wanted to use his Jurchen force to first dampen the morale of our army. But as soon as the younger brother comes out, no matter he wins or loses, his family's morale will be damaged. Brother, you Believe it or not?"
Li Jun suddenly woke up when he mentioned it: Zhou Tong kidnapped the princess first, and assassinated Nianhan later. It is not an exaggeration to say that the Jurchen nemesis was the enemy. Wanyan Xie also wanted to change his mind and sent Zhou Tong himself. Let's see who it is. The mentality is messed up.
He immediately laughed and said, "Brother, this noble opinion really taught Brother Yu a lesson! But when you go here, you must be careful. If you encounter a strong opponent, you must not show off your strength."
Zhou Tong smiled smartly: "Brother, don't worry! Little brother, let's go."
After a while, the war drums sounded at the top of the city, the city gate opened, and a green horse ran out, but there was a person on the horse. He was tall and majestic. He had never worn armor. He only wore white clothes, with leather wrist sleeves and trousers tucked into boots. He was very energetic. For the first time in a long time, she wore a golden crown with hair tied on her head, with two colors, two whites and four pheasant feathers fluttering in the air.
This man held a Fangtian painted halberd, danced from left to right, threw a few fancy tricks, threw it behind him, and shouted with a smile: "Brothers-in-law of the Jurchen Kingdom, do you remember me, 'Sai Ba Wang', 'Mei Lang'?" Jun', 'Consort King' Zhou Tong!"
Wanyan Xieye's face turned green, and the generals on the left and right wings buzzed, and they all went crazy.
Except for a few surrendered generals from the Liao Kingdom, Yelutan, Asha Wuye, Liu Yanzong, and Han Qixian, I don’t know who Zhou Tong is. The other generals are: Wanyan Pujianu, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Zongyi, and Wanyan Ahu. Most of Li and others had seen this person in the Aguda Golden Palace. It was Wanyan Nianhan who recognized this person, and the Jin Kingdom was able to see through the foundation of the so-called Chrysanthemum Army and Xifeng Army!
Especially in order to remind them, Zhou Tong deliberately did not even wear armor. This outfit was exactly the same as when he competed in the Golden Palace to win the heart of Princess Wu Lu.
"Zhou Tong!" Wanyan Xieye's face was livid and he gritted his teeth: "Nianhan is broken in your hands. If I take you, I will cut you into pieces to avenge him."
Zhou Tong whistled disdainfully, glared and said fiercely: "That bitch Nianhan, his generals killed my beloved horse. He alone is not enough to pay for it! You are the leader of this group of golden soldiers, treat me I have to take your life to avenge my beloved horse."
Even though Wanyan Xie was of extraordinary caliber, Zhou Tong was so angry that his eyesight turned black——
Seeing how serious he looked, he seemed to really think that his own life and that of Nianhan were enough to equal the life of his mount. How shameful and humiliating was this?
He gritted his teeth and said, "Who will catch him with me!"
All the generals moved together, and a black horse jumped out first. Immediately, a young general shouted with a red face: "You are not allowed to fight with me! This guy's life belongs to my Tushan family!"
All the golden generals were stunned for a moment, and then they understood: That's all, no wonder he was angry!
Zhou Tong saw the angry and angry expression on the visitor's face. He swung his halberd and shouted, "Come on, the general will be named! 'Sai Bawang' will not kill the nameless ghost under his halberd."
The general roared angrily: "I am the direct brother of Brother Tu Danding, and I am Tu Dan Gong!"
Zhou Tong was stunned for a moment, then remembered the origin of this person, and said with a smile: "Hahahaha, I heard my wife Wu Lu say that after Brother Tu Danding died, there was a boy in Tu Dan's family. Please let me, my old father-in-law. Marrying his unmarried sister-in-law as your wife turns out to be your kid! But my wife said that without me, she wouldn’t marry your kid because..."
When he said the last few words, his voice suddenly became softer and his face was filled with regret.
Tu Dangong came up on Pegasus and was about to hit Zhou Tong with his Iron Bone Duo. Suddenly he saw him shaking his head and moving his mouth, but could not hear what he was saying. He subconsciously withdrew his strength, forcibly picked up the weapon, and shouted sharply: "Why? ?”
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhou Tong's eyes, and he shouted: "Because you are too ugly!"
Fang Tian's painted halberd rose up like a dragon. Taking advantage of the moment when the opponent couldn't hold back his strength, he stabbed fiercely into Tu Dangong's heart. With a fierce scream, he lifted him up from his horse and shouted: "This kind of trash, don't do it." Send them to die again! Come on with a powerful one, otherwise, you won’t be able to kill enough!”
After that, he lifted Tu Dangong up, pulled out his halberd and swept it across, beheading Tu Dangong in the air.
puff! Poof, Gu Lu Lu Lu!
The body fell to the ground, the head fell to the ground, and rolled several times, and the whole place was silent for a while.
Li Jun smashed the city wall hard: "What a 'little bully'. He has this mouth, and his martial arts skills are more than doubled out of thin air."
All the golden generals had dumbfounded expressions on their faces and murmured: "This man was really clumsy when he fought against Wu Lu. No wonder Nianhan fell into his hands."
Then they heard the two men shouting: "This thief is disgusting. My father and son are going to kill him!"
While he was talking, two horses came out at the same time. Wanyan looked sideways at them. They were Tu Danchao and Tu Danpo, Lu Huo and his son.
Tu Danchao is the uncle of Tu Dan Dingge and Tu Dan Gong, and Tu Dan Po Lu Huo is the cousin of those two.
The father and son both wielded broadswords and came menacingly.
Sun Xin, the "little Yuchi" in the city, saw him and said angrily: "The golden dog bullies the young with more, I will help Zhou Tong." He immediately took the whip gun and rushed out of the city gate on horseback.
When Zhou Tong saw two enemies coming, he was about to retreat, but suddenly he heard Sun Xin behind his head shouting that they were coming. He became more courageous and laughed loudly: "One comes, one dies, one hundred comes, one hundred are gone!" I, the 'Sai Bawang', am invincible in battle, so why should I be afraid of you waiting for me!"
With a loud shout, he rode his horse to fight. Tu Dan was forty or fifty years old and did not dare to be careless. He immediately waved his sword to block it. Tu Shan Po Lu Huo roared and faced Sun Xin. The four generals caught the pair and fought. , sixteen horse hooves, kicking and trampling wildly.
On the Jinbing formation, when they saw another general coming out from the other side, they were all afraid that they would fight alone and be killed by Zhou Tong. They didn't care about the previous rules about you and me. Wanyan Xie also made a look in his eyes. , the two captains of his soldiers rushed out simultaneously.
These two captains, one named Pu Cha Bo Luo Ni and the other Zhu Jia Ba Ti Lin, are famous fighting generals among the Jin soldiers despite their low positions, but their martial arts are truly extraordinary.
Li Jun saw it and cursed: "These sluts are really shameless! Brother Wen, Sanniang, lead the leopard cavalry to kill him. The rest of the brothers, prepare to defend the city!"
Lao Cao originally called Wenda and Zhou Tong to help Li Jun and asked them to bring five hundred leopards. These soldiers and horses can be regarded as the elite ace of Li Jun's men.
These five hundred troops had conquered all directions before, so they were inevitably damaged. Li Jun selected Han children from the two states who were good at riding and martial arts to fill them, and the old led the new, always maintaining the number of five hundred.
Under Li Jun, since Li Yingbiao went to help Zhang Jue, only Wen Da, Duan Sanniang, Zhou Tong, and Sun Xin were the only ones capable of fighting on horseback. If he, Zhang Shun and others mounted their horses, they would not be able to fight at all. In battle, if you encounter a stronger opponent, you will suffer a loss.
Therefore, seeing that Wanyan Xie was not following the rules, Li Jun was not willing to have a good fight with him, so he simply let Wen Da lead the troops into the formation.
Wan Yanxie did not expect that Li Jun would dare to attack. He had been facing off at Huangya Pass for a long time. He had already seen that although Li Jun's troops were numerous, their quality was poor. Only by defending against the city could they maximize their power. However, he did not expect that Li Jun still has this leopard knight!
Pucha Poluo was leaning against the four generals. Hearing the sound of iron hooves pounding the ground, he knew something was wrong, so he turned his horse and ran away. Zhou Tong and Sun Xin did not pursue him, but merged directly into Wen Da's formation. Wanyan Xie also hurriedly mobilized his troops to stop them. But how quickly did the cavalry arrive? In an instant, they crashed into the golden army formation, and everyone fell on their backs.
The soldiers fled to Xie Ye and stretched out their hands to pull his bridle: "Commander, the enemy is brave, please stay away for a while."
Wanyan Xie was also furious. He slapped his face hard on the faces of the armored soldiers. He took the spear from the soldiers behind him and shouted loudly: "Wanyan Xie is also here to kill the enemy. He won't even take a single step." Retreat, any troops who dare to say retreat will be killed immediately."
His two sons Wanyan Zongyi and Wanyan Ahuli, and his two close generals Wen Dihen Ali Chu and Na He Du En, the four of them shouted in unison: "You are not allowed to retreat, follow the leader to kill the enemy!"
Zhu Jia Bati Lin touched his face, turned red quickly, jumped off his horse and kowtowed, got on his horse, screamed strangely, and charged towards the Leopard Rider like crazy.
Seeing that their commander refused to retreat, the rest of the armies did not dare to move, and they all gritted their teeth and fought hard——
In this way, Leopard Cavalry was trapped in the formation.
Wen Da saw that the situation was not right and shouted: "All armies, follow me!" He did not dare to go any deeper, so he turned his horse's head and walked out in an arc.
