Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Yizhou is southwest of Yanjing, about two hundred miles away from Yanjing. It goes to the west with high mountains and lofty mountains, and to the east it looks at the vast plains, which are named after a Yi River. During the Warring States Period, Prince Dan of Yan sent the warrior Jing Kenan to assassinate the King of Qin, and they said goodbye by the Yishui River here.

The wind rustles and the water becomes cold, and the strong man once gone will never return.

After Gao Feng, Chai Jin and Yan Qing discussed surrendering to Jiang Hongfei, they decided to discuss it with Tongshou Wang Tai.

After a conversation, the two agreed.

Wang Tie is also a Han official, and his family also lives in Yizhou. He is also worried about his future.

Seeing that Wang Tie also supported returning to the south and joining the newly rising Qi State, Gao Feng made up his mind.

Gao Feng said: "I heard that the Duke of Qi is about to lead his army northward. We should wait until Liangshan's army comes northward to Yizhou, kill all the Khitans in the city, cooperate inside and outside, and surrender the city. What do you think?"

Wang Tie said: "I have won my heart. Zhao Bingyuan is my confidant. The soldiers and horses in the city will definitely listen to your command."

Let us say that after the defeat of Yelu Dashi, Lin Chong led Ma Yijun and moved to the west of Gufengtai. This place was very close to Yizhou City. Lin Chong planned to move closer to the city after dark.

While Yue Fei stayed in Langoudian to clean the battlefield, he cut off Xiao Fulu's head and prepared to show it to Gao Feng to determine the hearts of Yizhou's soldiers and people.

Gao Feng and Wang Tai sent scouts to find out that the Liangshan Army had reached the west of Gufengtai, so they ordered Yizhou Guard Zhao Bingyuan to start massacring the Khitan people in the city according to the planned plan, especially those with the surname Yelu. All of them would be beheaded, leaving no one alive. Cutting off the roots.

Although the Khitan population in Yizhou City was not very large, it was still full of bloodshed and the atmosphere was terrifying.

In the evening, Yelu Dashi led less than 300 defeated soldiers to Yizhou City - he wanted to enter the city to rest and recuperate, and by the way, he could use Yizhou City and Yizhou soldiers and horses to resist the Liangshan army.

Seeing that the gate of Yizhou City was closed, Yelu Dashi ordered the soldiers to shout loudly to open the door.

However, no matter how the Liao soldiers called, the gate of Yizhou was always closed.

Yelu Dashi concluded that a rebellion had occurred in Yizhou City. He was very angry and worried that the Yizhou Army would suddenly come out of the city and join forces with the Liangshan Army not far away to attack him from the north and south. So he hurriedly led his army to leave Yizhou and go to Yan Jing ran.

Gao Feng and others hid on the city tower and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Yelu Dashi leading his army away.

Gao Feng quickly sent his cronies to follow Yan Qing to contact Lin Chong.

Soon, Yan Qing found Ma Yijun and said to Lin Chong: "The Khitans in Yizhou City have been killed by Gaozhizhou and others, and Yelu Dashi has also fled north. Please send troops and horses to take over Yizhou as soon as possible."

Lin Chong said nothing and left only 500 men and horses to support Yue Fei. He immediately led an army of more than 2,000 horses and followed Yan Qing to Yizhou City.

Gao Feng, Wang Xie and Zhao Bingyuan heard the news and hurried out of the city to greet him in person.

But when Gao Feng and others came out of the city, they saw that Liangshan's army had only arrived with more than 2,000 troops, and they couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Yan Qing stepped forward and explained: "This is just the front army. The 200,000-strong army is still behind and will soon be approaching the city."

Gao Feng and others were relieved.

Soon, Yue Fei led his troops to Yizhou City and provided strong proof for Yan Qing's words.

Not only that, Yue Fei also showed Xiao Fulu's head to Gao Feng and other people in Yizhou City.

Gao Feng and others recognized it as Xiao Fulu's head at a glance.

Gao Feng said to Lin Chong and Yue Fei: "As early as the Shengzong period of the Liao Dynasty, in order to defend against the Song Dynasty, the Liao State established a Niulan Capital Commanding Department in Niulan Mountain, which was affiliated to the Nanjing Marshal's Mansion and under the jurisdiction of the Supervisory Army Stronghold Commanding Department. As for the Shimen Commandery Division, the two armies were at the horns of each other, and their defense range was more than 700 miles east and west along the Baigou River between the Song and Liao Dynasties. Erlu also served as the supervisor of the Niulan Army and commanded this team. Therefore, Xiao Erlu was the main commander on the Baigou front line. He was originally stationed in Xincheng, but he was probably transferred by Yelu Dashi to ambush the two generals and killed them. Xiao Erlu, there should be no Liao troops here on the Baigou front line."

Wang Tie then said: "That Yelu Dashi is also called Yelu Dezhong. His nickname is Dezhong. He is the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of the Liao Dynasty. He is proficient in Khitan and Chinese and is good at riding and archery. He was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Tianqing. He first served in the court as Hanlin Yingfeng and Hanlin Chengzhi, and later he was promoted to the military governor of Liao Xing Army and the garrison of Jizhou. This man was both civil and military. He was Yelv Chun's younger brother and Yelv Chun's right-hand man. He didn't want him He was actually defeated by two generals, how brave they were!"

Seeing Lin Chong and Yue Fei defeat Yelu Dashi and kill Xiao Erlu, Gao Feng and other Yizhou civil and military officials immediately had greater confidence in the Liangshan Army.

Wang Tie even directly ordered Zhao Bingyuan to lead the Yizhou soldiers to obey the commands of Lin Chong and Yue Fei, while he and Gao Feng followed Chai Jin and Yan Qing to Xiongzhou to meet Jiang Hongfei.

As the official who dedicated the first of Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures, Jiang Hongfei gave Gao Feng and Wang Tai a high courtesy and asked them to choose whether to continue to serve as the magistrate of Yizhou or to serve as governors of a stable and wealthy military state in the interior. Zhizhou.

Gao Feng and Wang Tie didn't even hesitate, and both chose to serve as magistrates in places where there was no war in the interior.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei appointed Gao Feng as the magistrate of Qizhou and Wang Tai as the magistrate of Zizhou.

Later, Jiang Hongfei appointed Zhan Du as the magistrate of Yizhou, and ordered Yang Zhi, Zhao Li and Zhao Bingyuan to guard Yizhou City.

It is worth mentioning that under Jiang Hongfei's order, Zhu Wu made one effort and captured Jinpo Pass under Yizhou's control.

This Jinpo Pass is a stone city with nine gates and nine passes. To the east of the city is Wanren Mountain, to the west is Rhinoceros Mountain, to the north is the Juma River, and to the south is Huangtu Ridge. It is known as the "No. 1 Grand Pass in Jinan". It is actually After the Yuan Dynasty, Zijing Pass was located on the Zijing Ridge four to five kilometers northwest of Yizhou. It was first built during the Warring States Period. It was called "Shanggu Pass" during the Qin and Han Dynasties, and "Wuruan Pass" in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which is similar to Juyong Pass. , Down Horse Pass, and Down Horse Pass are collectively called the three inner passes. It has been the transportation hub for entering and exiting the Taihang Mountains since ancient times. It is located at the seventh pass of the "Taihang Eight Passes", "Puyin Pass", and the fourth of the nine fortresses in the world. It is a battleground for military strategists.

Capturing Jinpo Pass and Shuibo Liangshan is equivalent to opening up the passage between Yandi and Yundi.

In view of the importance of this pass, Jiang Hongfei appointed the steady and resourceful Cao Zheng to guard it.

As soon as Jiang Hongfei arrived, he defeated the Liao general Yelu Dashi, recovered Yizhou, one of the seven states of Yan, and even took away the crucial Jinpo Pass. This made all the powerful people in Yanjing city There was an uproar!

Yelu Chun immediately ascended to the Golden Palace, gathered both civil and military officials, and the court attendance was completed.

In fact, he has been very uneasy since Yelu Chun ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor!

Now, everyone in the Yan region knows that Yelu Yanxi did not die in the battle, nor was he captured, but took refuge in Jiashan.

Not long ago, Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin personally led the main force of the Jin army to Yundi, and Liaoxi Jing had also been captured by the Jin people.

In other words, the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom were taken away by the Jin Kingdom, not three, but four.

Now, another group of people came from the south, and Yelu Chun didn't know the details at all. They led an army of 200,000 to attack Yan.

To be honest, before that Yelu Chun only thought that he was a group of daring bandits and grass bandits who took advantage of the situation and wanted to attack Yandi. He did not report this person who only reported the word "Jiang Yan". His specific identity was nothing. Guy takes it seriously.

Now, this Jiang Yan took action and defeated his imperial brother Yelu Dashi, and took away Yizhou, one of the seven states in Yandi, and even the Jinpo Pass under Yizhou.

Only then did Yelu Chun pay attention to Jiang Yan.

Yelu Chun asked: "Who is this Jiang Yan? Does he have people like Lin Chong and Yue Fei under his command?"

All the Liao people looked at me and I looked at you. Most of them knew Jiang Hongfei's background.

no way.

There were too many things going on in the Liao Kingdom recently, and they didn't pay much attention to what was happening in the Song Dynasty. Even if they heard some rumors occasionally, they didn't take a group of bandits and water bandits seriously.

At this time, a peony tree looks like a spring smoke cage, and its face is like a lotus soaked in autumn water. Yu Xian lightly wielded the Longquan Sword, and the female general who had the upper hand in battles everywhere came out and said: "My daughter knows Jiang Yan's origins."

Yelu Chun looked at it and saw that the female general who stood up turned out to be his daughter, Princess Tianshou of Liao Kingdom, Yelu Dalibao, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised!

Yelu Chun confirmed: "Princess knows about Jiang Yan's background?"

Yelu Dalib nodded: "A few years ago, my daughter had a chance encounter with him. At that time, she thought he was a talented person and wanted to keep him to serve her father, but he refused and resolutely returned to the Southern Dynasty. My daughter was angry. However, I have been paying attention to his movements and even sent people to Nanchao to inquire about him..."

When Yelu Dalib said this, those who understood women's thoughts concluded that Yelu Dalib must have fallen in love with Jiang Hongfei, and some people even showed ambiguous smiles.

But Yelu Dalibo didn't even look at these people. She told Yelu Chun and others about Jiang Hongfei's experience like a treasure with a complicated expression.

When Yelu Chun and others heard that Jiang Hongfei had defeated the Zhao and Song dynasties that were once comparable to theirs in the Liao Empire, they could only make Jiang Hongfei the Duke of Qi and appoint Jiang Hongfei as the military governor of Liangshan to guard Shandong and Hebei for generations. After the troops stopped, they all showed solemn expressions.

Li Chuwen then came out and said: "I have also heard about Jiang Yan and his gang. They were originally grass bandits in Boshuihu village in Liangshan, but they refused to kill good people and dedicated themselves to doing justice for heaven. They only killed those who abused officials and defrauded the people." Later, the Song Dynasty was defeated repeatedly, but he was defeated more and more. Not long ago, the Song Dynasty was conquered in Shandong and Hebei, so this group of people is so lucky! "Don't underestimate him!"

When Yelu Chun heard this, he suddenly had a huge headache!

For Yelu Chun, in the Liao Kingdom, there are wolves before and tigers after, and the situation in Yanjing can be said to be critical.

Yelu Chun felt exhausted mentally and physically, and his body became weaker and weaker.

Yelu Chun asked: "What do the ministers think about Jiang Yan's imperial decree?"

An official turned around among the squad, and he was the Han official Ouyang Shilang. His robe was brushing on the ground, and the elephant slip was used as a chest, and he said: "Your Majesty, you should be filial to your son, and loyal to your ministers. Although I am a minister, I must be filial to you. If you are not talented, I am willing to offer you a little plan to eliminate this threat and teach me the strength of Daliao to fight back against the Jurchens."

Yelu Chun was overjoyed: "Since you have good insights, you can tell me now."

Ouyang Shilang said: "Jiang Yan and his gang are all heroes of Liangshanpo. Now the emperors of Zhao and Song Dynasties are being manipulated by Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, Gao Qiu, Yang Jian and other traitors. They are jealous of the virtuous and capable, and block the virtuous path. They will not enter unless they are close relatives. Without money, how can we accommodate Jiang Yan and his group of heroes? Regarding my stupidity, your majesty can increase my rank, reward me with spiritual stones, and reward me with light furs and fat horses. I am willing to serve as an envoy and say that he will surrender to our country. If your Majesty can get this group of troops to come, he will not only destroy the Jurchens, but it will also be like turning his back on the Central Plains. I dare not act alone, so it is good to ask for your Majesty's holy advice."

Yelu Chun thought deeply and said: "Okay! You will be an envoy, bring a good horse and a good story, and give the order to make Jiang Yan the king of Qi, the general of the country, the commander-in-chief of the Liao army, and give him a gift." When the spirit stone is mentioned, Quan will be used as a token. The name of all the leaders will be copied and all of them will be given official titles."

I saw Wu Yanguang, the leader of the squad, coming out and saying: "Jiang Yan, a bunch of thieves, what are you doing to recruit him! I have twenty-eight generals, eleven generals, and some powerful generals under my command. I'm afraid that I won't be able to do anything." Defeat him! If this group of barbarians does not retreat, I will personally lead the troops to kill them."

It turns out that Wuyan Guangdu, who is commanding the army, is the first general in the Liao Kingdom, a top-notch Qi practitioner, and he is familiar with all military tactics and strategies. He is thirty-five or six years old, has a dignified appearance, a majestic body, and a figure of more than eight feet. He has a white face, red lips, yellow beard and green eyes. He is majestic and brave, and can defeat thousands of people. When they went into battle, they used thick iron bars and steel spears to kill in thick places. From time to time, they pulled out the iron slips around their waists and made a clanging sound. The most important thing is to have the courage that is unworthy of all men.

Yelu Chun said: "Now there are tigers at the front door and wolves at the back door. You are a great hero. How can you fight with two wings? How can you stand in the way of an insect with wings?"

Yelu Chun didn't listen to Wu Yanguang's words, who else would dare to say more?

Not to mention Wuyan's remonstrance to the army, nor the minister Ouyang who received the decree from the Liao Kingdom, brought many gifts and horses, and went to Xiongzhou.

Just say that just when Yelu Chun was about to recruit Jiang Hongfei to surrender, Xiao Puxiannu walked out of Yuanhe Hall and walked casually and aimlessly along the cobblestone path on the shore of Yaochi, with a group of guards following closely behind her.

The lotus flowers in Yaochi have faded away, leaving only the broken stems and broken necks and patches of withered duckweed. The surface of the lake looked like a pool of stagnant water, with little movement. She looked up at the sky and saw groups of dark clouds rolling in from west to east. The clouds were getting thicker and thicker, and a storm seemed to be coming.

At this time, Xiao Qian hurriedly caught up and said: "Mother, I think the next target of the Liangshan Army will be Zhuozhou. I am not sure about the situation in Zhuozhou, and I want to go and see it myself."

Yelu Chun's health was too poor, and he had no son to help him. He could only ask the capable but young Xiao Puxian to assist him in politics, while he himself only took care of some major affairs.

Both Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi felt that although Xiao Puxiannu was only a member of the female class, she was more capable and courageous than Yelu Chun, and judging from Yelu Chun's physical condition, she might die one day. The power of the Liao Kingdom There is a high probability that it will fall into the hands of the wise woman Xiao Pu.

Therefore, both Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi looked up to Xiao Puxian's daughter.

Xiao Pu Xiannu stopped and said, "I think Medicine Master Guo is not reliable either. None of the Han officials are reliable. Sooner or later they will surrender to Jiang Yan. They should all be killed."

When Miss Xiao Pu said this, a cold light flashed in her eyes.

It was obvious that this woman was not just talking, she really had such vicious thoughts.

Xiao Qian hurriedly said: "Guo Yaoshi is not a Han, he is from Bohai. He has a high prestige in the Evervictorious Army. The Evervictorious Army now has more than 8,000 troops. I want to make full use of this team."

Xiao Pu Xiannu hesitated for a moment and said, "That's all right. I'll go and come back as soon as possible."

Xiao Qian did not move, but asked with a hint of confusion: "Mother, I have something to puzzle about. Since the Jurchens have captured Xijing, why have they not launched an attack on Yanjing for so long?"

Xiao Puxiannu also didn’t know that there was a maritime alliance between Song and Jin. The reason why the Jin people were delayed in Yundi was because they made a big mistake and mistook the Liangshan Army for the Song Army, and were waiting to fight with the "Song Army". "Discuss the attack on Yanjing..."
