Chapter 191: The Winter of the Great Song Dynasty is Coming
The poor Zhao Liangsi and the other two had no idea about their trip, but instead opened the door to a new world for Aguda...
Why attack Yanshan Mansion?
Wang Yue couldn't run away there, so he could attack any time, and there was no need to do this time.
He did make 10 million yuan from Kaifeng, but he could even get 10 million yuan from the Zhao family. So how much would he get if he had been a Jurchen Iron Cavalry? He only made 10 million yuan in Kaifeng. How many cities can the 150,000 Jurchen Iron Cavalry go south and how much wealth can he get from these cities?
countless!
There are really countless.
The entire flower world of the Southern Dynasty, countless gold, silver and treasures, and countless beauties opened their doors to them like treasure houses.
At your fingertips!
Who will eat a salted fish if you have a bear's paw?
What's more, the salted fish will not run away even if it hangs there.
This multiple-choice question is really not difficult to do.
After all, a fat sheep like the Zhao family didn’t know the background before. I really thought it was fine if the Southern Dynasty was established so powerful. Now that I know the background and know that this power is just a paper-filled empty shell, no one can help but want to slaughter it!
During this period, Aguda really saw too many strange performances of the Song army in the north. He was beaten by Yelu Dashi and then suffered a crushing defeat by Xiao Gan, which caused him and his generals to fall all over the ground. Nianhan has become a joke for everyone because of his previous words these days. He is wise and brave, and he is almost invincible, and he can't raise his head these days.
However……
They really don't know that the Southern Dynasty can continue to work hard on the strange road.
Five hundred resentful troops overthrow the entire capital!
In order to exaggerate Wang Yue's gains, Zhou Zhongwu showed how Wang Yue ravaged the capital to the greatest extent to the extent of his reception. Although he had hidden some content, he still described the entire Kaifeng change more realistically. As a scholar who was a Jinshi, he naively thought that his descriptions of his passionate voice could reap the other party's indignation.
But unfortunately, what Pu’s slaves are concerned about is the fact that they were bullied by the five hundred resentful soldiers.
Five hundred grudges.
By the way, which of these Jurchens has never beaten Guo Yaoshi and his subordinates?
A group of wild dogs who were beaten up from Liaodong and finally fled to the south at a desperate situation. They actually bullied the Southern Dynasty emperor to send gold and silver and daughters in the capital of the Southern Dynasty. They came and went freely in the core of the Southern Dynasty, defeated batches of Southern Dynasty troops, and then returned to Yanshan without any damage with the harvest.
What about them?
Fighting Wang Yue?
Agu was so stupid that he beat him, and it was the right thing to do to hit his good brother Zhao Huang.
Innocently, he thought that it was really as the great painter and the imperial court wished, Aguda was about to lead a large army south to attack Yanshan Prefecture, and then embarked on a journey back to Kaifeng with the satisfaction of his mission.
But they didn't know that on the same day they stepped into Yanmen Pass, on November 27, the fourth year of Xuanhe of the Song Dynasty, Aguda left Wanyan Gao to guard Xijing, Olu Bu and Talai left behind Fengsheng and other states, and then personally led 50,000 cavalry mainly composed of Nianhan, Zhemu, Lou Shi, Yin Shuke and Jin Wushu, and quietly followed them on the journey of raiding Taiyuan.
The Song army was unaware of it.
Even Guo Zhongxun, the governor of Daizhou and border sanctuary stationed in Yanmen Pass, was the commander-in-chief of Li Siben, and was still celebrating the good news.
Wang Yue was also unaware of it, and he was only alerted by Ma Kuo at this time.
The latter just sent him a message through a familiar Yanshan merchant. Yanmen Pass was almost a thousand miles away from Yanshan City. In fact, Ma Kuo was originally symbolic. He was either unaware that Wang Yue must understand that it was not enough to not send a message to Wang Yue as an envoy. Ma Kuo didn't want to go this trip, but the problem was that the diplomats who contacted Aguda in the Song Dynasty could almost be said to be without others besides him.
Then it's his father.
It would be better for him to go this trip.
"Come on!"
Wang Yue responded calmly to the news that the great painter actually sent someone to borrow troops to suppress the enemy.
What was expected was completely in line with the character of the nobles of the Song Dynasty, and it would be abnormal if they didn't do this.
It was almost two months since he left Kaifeng.
The great painter's place has been very messy in the past two months.
First, the prince was kicked away. His Highness, who was originally the governor, had to return to his Eastern Palace because of the recovery of the great painter.
Immediately afterwards, the great painter reorganized the imperial court.
The two brothers Liu Qi were kicked away as the prince's confidants, and Liu Xi was driven to Cangzhou as the magistrate. Liu Qi simply went to the Eastern Palace to become an official. Yu Wencuizhong was not sensible enough, or he did not want to be a gun for a great painter, and he was kicked away. The new prime minister was replaced by Li Bangyan, who was as beautiful as a flower and most loved by the great painter, and Shaozai was Tang Ke, who was favored by the great painter again. Zhang Shuye still took charge of the Privy Council, but the eunuch Deng Wengao and the Privy Council, and Yao Gu, were gathered together in the civil and military affairs. The Western Army originally in the capital evacuated, leaving Liu Yanqing and his son and Yao Pingzhong to lead 20,000 Western Army. Zhe Keqiu and others led their troops to withdraw.
Taishi Tong continued to station in Hebei and commanded Hedong and Hebei military affairs, but Wang Anzhong, who fled back, was not punished at all, but was appointed as deputy envoy.
The great painter also added a deputy envoy.
Eunuch Deng Gui.
A civil servant and an eunuch monitor Tong Taishi together.
"Bad bones!"
His Highness Yan commented on this matter very pertinently.
But she was not interested in caring about these things, Wang Yue was there!
The latter's plan to draw soldiers from her to expand the ever-winning army has been completed. In fact, her guards are more willing to go to the ever-winning army. After all, the eternal army is treated with high salaries. For those soldiers at the bottom, the Khitan Xi and Han people are not a big deal. Whoever gives high salaries will be treated with the other person. Especially the Yan King's Guards were mostly thin soldiers. They originally had a large number of Liaodong Han refugees, and these people didn't care whether they were called "Eternal Winning Army" or "Yan King's Guards".
As for those old nobles...
The most important thing now is to resist the Jurchens, rather than to care about these things.
If you want to resist the Jurchens, you must rely entirely on Wang Yue, so they are silent about this.
"I'm thinking, what would happen if Aguda didn't come to attack us, but to attack Taiyuan?"
She said.
At this time, His Highness Yan was lying on a lounge chair covered with bearskin, basking in the cloudless sun in early winter, while laying the chopped cantaloupe, leisurely and comfortable.
Her niece was lying on the other side.
Then there was Zhao Yuannu who was sitting aside and playing the music.
As for the location...
Of course it is the palace of King Yan. Duke of Yan has now openly regarded the palace as his home.
Of course, this was mainly because his pacification and control envoy was established in this original Liao imperial city, using the original pile of official offices outside the palace. These official offices were also empty and were just used by him. Therefore, the original inner city of the Khitans and Xi people and the Han people in the outer city of Yanshan Prefecture had already been in name only, and the situation of large-scale living in the past has completely restored.
The economy is booming.
The main reason is that he ordered the abolition of the cap tax, and he did not even collect land tax this year. In addition, all the soldiers have money in their hands, increasing consumption will naturally bring economic prosperity, and even forced him to invest the materials he brought into the market to stabilize the price increase caused by the increase in consumption.
"Your idea is very bold."
Wang Yue said with interest.
"Are you bold? A Baoji raised his army with thousands of tribesmen to rebel against our army of the Liao Dynasty. Do you think he is very bold?"
His Highness the King of Yan said.
Wang Yue's face immediately looked a little unpleasant.
Indeed, has he always been too confident in his judgment? It is natural for Aguda to attack Yanshan City, but is it too simple to be called a hero for a lifetime?
"King, Master Wu is here and said he is looking for Mr. Yan!"
A maid came over and saluted and said.
"Please come in!"
Wang Yue said.
Then he quickly tidied up his clothes and stood up. His Highness Yan silently pulled the bearskin to cover his still messy clothes. Her niece quickly stood up and stood aside, and then quickly tidied up her clothes. Her aunt and nephew looked at each other and smiled, and then her niece's face turned a little red.
Immediately afterwards, Wu Song was brought in by the maid...
"Brother Wang, Aguda left Fengshengzhou."
Wu Song said without caring about saluting.
He is Wang Yue's intelligence chief, and he relies on his master's protective color to specialize in reconnaissance.
However, the Jurchens did not believe in Buddhism at this time. They believed in traditional shamans. They were not taken down by the masters until the Jinxizong period. After that, they became the same as the Liao Kingdom. It has to be said that the masters were always invincible in this regard. However, the master's protective color was still very good. After all, all the states and counties in the north to Datong in Xijing were all the worlds of masters. Although Master Wu could not chant Buddha's name, the identity of a monk from Hangzhou was extremely popular in all temples in the north.
Can foreign monks chant scriptures?
“Where did you go?”
Wang Yue immediately asked with a serious expression.
"I don't know, but the main forces of the Jurchen army have left Fengshengzhou. According to my estimate, the remaining ones will not exceed 10,000 at most, and it is certain that they have not gone south to Juyongguan."
Wu Song said.
"Okay, Your Highness, your crow mouth is so powerful."
Wang Yue turned to look at His Highness Yan and said.
As soon as he guessed the whereabouts of Aguda, he realized that it was impossible not to go to Juyongguan when attacking Yanshan. Even if there was another way, he could only be a partial master. Aguda personally fought and could not go to Juyongguan. Since he did not go to Juyongguan, he could only go to Yanmenguan.
His Highness Yan snorted coldly with a little woman's attitude.
"By the way, the Song Dynasty is coming, winter is coming. My brother has to go to Xiongzhou again and see Taishi Tong immediately, telling him that Aguda is not here to attack Yanshan Prefecture, but to raid Taiyuan westward. Go quickly. According to their marching speed, it will probably only take five days from Fengshengzhou to Yanmen Pass. Whether the Song Dynasty can be saved can only rely on the integrity of the guards of Yanmen Pass!"
