After a melee, the Jin Army cavalry was defeated in panic and was completely wiped out by the Liberation Army cavalry.
After a little statistics, about eight or nine hundred people were killed, and the rest were those who dismounted and surrendered after the collapse, or were captured, including Yelu Yuanyi, the leader of this army.
The Liberation Army captured more than 2,000 horses and corresponding equipment in the first battle, and once again expanded the cavalry equipment reserves on hand, which is a good thing.
Even if they cannot be put into use immediately, if they can increase their reserves, they can mobilize more cavalry in the future.
Of course, if we can recapture the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture and seize the horses bred by the Jin Army, we will immediately have the confidence to build a powerful cavalry, and the rest will be time.
Thinking of this, Su Yonglin panted and sat in front of Yelu Yuanyi, who was kneeling on the ground and tied up with a big five-flowered flower, and looked at him angrily.
"You are so bold and evil-hearted. You betrayed all of your subordinates and ran away with these thousands of cavalrymen. You also did the opposite and ran away from where I came from. Good guy, I almost escaped without you."
Yelu Yuanyi was dejected and disheartened. Faced with Su Yonglin's ridicule, he could not cheer up at all.
"No matter how bold and dark-hearted I am, I can't compare to your ingenuity and wisdom. When attacking, you can predict my retreat route, and you can send troops to block me in advance, leaving me with no way to go...
In the current situation, I have been completely defeated, my entire army has been wiped out, and there is no way I can recover. Your troops are far superior to mine. I am defeated at your hands. I have nothing to say. "
Su Yonglin frowned.
"Blocking you?"
"Um?"
Yelu Yuanyi looked at Su Yonglin who was also confused, and the two looked at each other.
Yelu Yuanyi:? ? ?
Su Yonglin:? ? ?
This interesting puzzle was quickly solved.
Because Wei Kexian's enemy sentry cavalry met with Su Yonglin.
Then this group of sentry cavalry told Su Yonglin the news that they had encountered the Jin Army cavalry when they retreated south, and asked Su Yonglin nervously if something happened in Hejian Mansion.
Su Yonglin was stunned for a while, then looked up to the sky and laughed.
"Hahahaha! God helps me! God helps me! Hahahahaha!"
After laughing enough, Su Yonglin came to Yelu Yuanyi and told Yelu Yuanyi the whole story.
After hearing this, Yelu Yuanyi was stunned for a long time, then yelled a few times, threw his whole body forward on the ground, twisting around like an earthworm exposed to the sun, his face full of deep regret and hatred.
"How many people in the world are so wise that they are as smart as demons! God has wronged me! God has wronged me! God has wronged me!!!!"
Yelu Yuanyi regrets that.
He cried and howled, and finally lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground like a dead fish.
No matter how much he regrets, there is no medicine for regret in the world. He has already been defeated and captured, so what else can he say?
He failed completely.
Then Su Yonglin asked him about his identity, and he told him honestly.
Minister of the Ministry of War, chief general of the Pioneer Army, important minister of the Jin Dynasty, Yelu Yuanyi.
Su Yonglin was a little surprised.
It’s Yelu again. It seems that Wan Yanliang really likes to use Han and Khitan people. He not only lets them manage government affairs, but also gives them the power to control the army. For a foreign ruler, he uses a large number of bureaucrats and leaders from non-native tribes. Soldiers are really rare.
There are not many rulers in the past who are willing to appoint a certain amount of non-national bureaucrats to control administrative and military power. However, those who name a few are famous monarchs who can establish certain achievements.
For example, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, Temujin, and Huang Taiji were all outstanding monarchs who had in-depth research on the art of employing people and the art of checks and balances, and they also made meritorious deeds in their respective positions.
As for Wan Yanliang...
Well, yes, Wan Yanliang probably did not want to promote national integration out of his own heart.
He just killed so many Jurchen royals because he usurped the throne and became emperor, so that he became alienated from the Jurchen people and could not trust them, so he was forced to use Han and Khitan people to stabilize his power and status.
Thinking about it this way, we can understand why Wan Yanliang hired a large number of Han and Khitan people and fully absorbed the elites of all ethnic groups, but in the end he was brutally killed and became a loser who was ridiculed by future generations.
Thinking of this, Su Yonglin felt a little sad, and then as he thought about it, he suddenly thought of Yelu Chenghui.
Yelu Chenghui was a high-ranking Khitan official who was resurrected very early, and he was unwilling to surrender at first. Su Yonglin considered that he might cooperate with the Khitans in the future, so he wanted to save his life.
Later, Su Yonglin vigorously developed his power in Hebei. In addition to the local Han people who sought refuge with him, there were also some Khitan and Bohai people who longed for his protection, but they did not dare to have too active contact with him for fear of being killed.
After understanding the needs of these people, Su Yonglin once again persuaded Yelu Chenghui, hoping that he could set an example, formally surrender, and hold a position, so as to build a bridge and act as a lubricant between him and other ethnic groups. .
Yelu Chenghui watched helplessly as Su Yonglin developed his power in Hebei, rampaging into no man's land, and finally defeated Wanyan Alin's elite cavalry with infantry.
So he was surprised to find that Su Yonglin's growth exceeded his imagination. Su Yonglin grew up too fast. He was not a normal rebel at all. He even had a vague aura of a king.
When Su Yonglin was under house arrest, he would continue to send him some news about the Jin Kingdom, and some news about the stupid things Wanyan Liang had done, such as the fact that Wanyan Liang recruited all the people to mobilize and finally forced the Khitans to rebel.
These things made Yelu Chenghui less and less optimistic about the rule of the Jin Kingdom.
After such a long time, he has figured out a lot of things. He knows that Su Yonglin will not let him go. Even if he returns to the Kingdom of Jin, he will not gain Wan Yanliang's trust again. Instead, he may be suspected, targeted, and further lost. Everything, even life.
Instead of facing such danger, it would be better to simply take a big gamble.
Bet that a person who has a vague image of a king can really become the king who rules the world, just like what he once said when he "spoke wildly".
At first it seemed like wild words, but now, everything seems to have come true, and it is moving rapidly in a more real direction.
After a short period of thinking, Yelu Chenghui agreed to Su Yonglin, giving up everything he had as a senior official of the Jin Kingdom, changing his appearance, and joining the Liberation Army camp as a brand new Khitan.
Su Yonglin was very happy and assigned Yelu Chenghui to the Food and Pay Department, allowing him to use his expertise to assist Lin Jingchun in rectifying the increasingly serious logistics and food problems of the Liberation Army at that time.
At the same time, Su Yonglin also asked Yelu Chenghui to come forward to negotiate with some local Khitan, Xi, and Bohai forces in Hebei, and use his identity as a Khitan to call on these people to join the Liberation Army camp and resist with Su Yonglin. The tyranny of the Jin Kingdom.
Under his persuasion, the local Khitan, Xi and Bohai people in Hebei also joined Su Yonglin's camp. Among the thirty-six independent battalions under Su Yonglin's association, there was a Khitan independent battalion and a Xi people independent battalion.
For the Khitan people, of course, the relationship between Yelv Chenghui and Yelu Chenghui was used to comfort them.
For the group of Xi people, Su Yonglin personally came forward and comforted the Xi people with the incident of General Mi Xin in the early Northern Song Dynasty, saying that even if they were not Han people, they could still hold very important positions in the Han forces and hold military power.
"I don't care about ethnic differences as long as you are not a Jurchen. As long as you speak Chinese, use Chinese characters, and eat the same food, there is no difference between you and Han people in my eyes. I will not have any objection to you because you are not Han people." Other opinions, I vouch for this on my honor.”
Su Yonglin made a guarantee to the Khitans and Xi people, so the Khitans and Xi people were willing to obey his orders.
This time, there were a thousand Khitan soldiers in the army guarding Zhending Mansion, and a thousand Xi soldiers in the army guarding Hejian Mansion. Su Yonglin expressed his trust in them.
So really speaking, if Wan Yanliang appointed Han and Khitan bureaucrats, Su Yonglin would have underestimated the strength of other ethnic groups and not united them.
Because of this fact, Su Yonglin felt that he could appropriately recruit some non-Jurchen bureaucrats within the Jin Kingdom to stand on his side and carry out united front work.
"By the way, your surname is Yelu. I actually have a subordinate named Yelu here, named Yelu Chenghui. Do you know him?"
