Chapter 301 Wu Yong: Empress Dowager Xiao married the Duke of my family as my concubine

After Sun Jing left, Jiang Hongfei asked Mrs. Jia to take over the right army, and Xu Qingniang and Wang Gongren went to assist Mrs. Jia.

The left army was still commanded by Zhu Wu, and Jiang Hongfei sent Chen Xizhen to assist Zhu Wu in commanding the left army.

After deciding on the strategic strategy of taking Yanjing directly, Jiang Hongfei ordered Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia to wait for the opportunity and eliminate the Liao army blocking the Liangshan Army.

After receiving Jiang Hongfei's order, Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia each held pre-war meetings, and the commanders were waiting for opportunities to find combat opportunities.

There is a bridge over the Baigou River. The southern end of the bridge is controlled by the Liangshan Army, and the northern end is controlled by the Liao Army.

The general of the Liangshan Army guarding the bridge was Niu Gao, the general of Yue Fei's Ma Army.

After receiving the order from Zhu Wu to proactively find fighter planes to defeat the Liao army on the opposite side, Niu Gao, a reckless man, immediately said to his surroundings: "This is a national war, there is no need to say anything, it's just about death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Niu Gao ordered his five hundred elite cavalry to shoot at the Liao army on the other side, with arrows raining down.

The Liao army was unprepared and suffered numerous injuries.

Seeing this, Niu Gao boldly took the lead in attacking the river bridge.

Niu Gao's decisiveness not only left the Liao army unprepared, Lin Chong and Yue Fei did not expect Niu Gao to be so reckless, so they quickly mobilized troops to support.

Yue Fei reacted quickly and decisively gave the order: "Now that the sword is connected, go all out and win the battle with merit."

Lin Chong happily led his 3,000-horse army to the battlefield.

By the time Lin Chong arrived at the battlefield, Niu Gao had already led his 500-horse army to cross the Baigou River.

At this time, Niu Gao was at the forefront of the battlefield. He took the lead and led his cavalry troops to attack the Liao army again and again!

Suddenly, a sharp iron caltrop arrow shot into Niu Gao's body, piercing deeply into Niu Gao's shoulder blade. The severe pain from the arrow's penetration made him lose his balance instantly, but he still sat on the horse tenaciously without flinching. Blood was pouring into his boots, but he didn't seem to care. He split his canthus in anger, stretched his arms to defend himself, held the arrow shaft tightly, pulled out the arrow with force, and threw it to the ground. Continue to wave the maces in his hands and charge forward, like a furious tiger, unstoppable.

Seeing this, Lin Chong took the lead and crossed the Baigou River to reinforce Niu Gao.

On the other side, the Liao army soldiers who were trapped and still fighting were also extremely ferocious. They fought desperately with the Liangshan army without giving in at all.

The two sides fought on both sides of the Baigou River from noon until night.

Later, thanks to Yue Fei and Li Kui, they arrived in time with their infantry.

As soon as Li Kui arrived on the battlefield, he stood in front of his horse with a pair of axes. Bao Xu held up his sword and opened his strange eyes, just waiting to kill. Xiang Chong and Li Gun each held a dough sign and inserted a flying sword. There are twenty-four knives and iron spears lying on both sides.

Yue Fei discussed with Li Kui and asked Li Kui to take the rear, while he led his men to fight.

But Li Kui ignored Yue Fei. He roared loudly and led his troops across the river to kill everyone he encountered.

Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, Li Gun and others led their infantry and charged in. In the rebel army, they killed several Liao generals.

Seeing that Li Kui and others were not afraid of death, Yue Fei did not leave a reserve force. He pressed forward with the entire line and completely pushed the Liao army to the north bank of the river, retreating ten miles.

The former left army then successfully established a bridgehead on the north bank of the river.

After receiving the report, Zhu Wu and Chen Xizhen immediately led the left army to the south bank of Baigou River.

That night, in order to prepare for the Liao army's counterattack, after Zhu Wu and Chen Xizhen discussed it, Chen Xizhen raised a heavy fog, and Zhu Wu ordered the generals on all sides to sound the golden drum.

The Liao army did have the intention to fight back at night, but they heard the Liangshan army's drums beating continuously all night, and because the heavy fog obscured the Liangshan army's true strength, they suspected that the Liangshan army might take advantage of the night to go north, so they ordered the entire army Stay alert.

After daybreak, the Liao army sent scouts to conduct reconnaissance. They saw that the Liangshan front army was holding on to the barrier and was heavily guarded. They completely lost the Baigou River.

It was also on this day that Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army of the Northern Liao Dynasty and the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, dared to sneak up to Xiaogu Mountain near Fan Village. He set up a cover and occupied the Hu bed to target the Liangshan Army. After ascertaining the layout of the Liangshan Army, , retreat.

Late at night, Xiao Qian led his army and suddenly launched an attack on Fan Village.

After Mrs. Jia received the report, she calmly commanded the troops of the right route army to fight with the Liao army.

Luan Tingyu, Wu Lin, Sun Li, Han Shizhong, Suo Chao, Wu Jie, Zhang Yong and other troops fought against the Liao army one after another.

The Liao army attacked fiercely and once surrounded the Liangshan army at the foot of Xiaogushan. Zhang Yong was shot and almost fell off his horse.

When the victory or defeat of both sides was pending, Mrs. Jia, Xu Ning, Wang Yan, Guan Sheng, Li Yanxian and others personally led the central and rear troops to join the battle in time. Although Mrs. Jia, Xu Qingniang and Wang Gongren were women, they had always been He braved arrows and refused to retreat on the front line, and Jie Yue supervised the battle, eventually repelling the Liao army.

Soon, Jiang Hongfei learned that both the left and right armies were at war with the Liao army.

Jiang Hongfei did not hesitate, and personally led the 80,000-strong Central Route Army to the north, and gave orders to Zhu Wu and Madam Jia: Find fighter planes, completely defeat the Liao army, and advance towards Yanjing.

On the other side, Xiao Qian saw that the Liangshan army was so powerful and its attack was so decisive. He knew something was wrong and hurriedly discussed countermeasures with the Liao generals on the front line.

All the Liao generals believed that the Liangshan Army's combat power, even if not as good as the Jin Army, was still one of the most powerful armies in the world. If the main force of the Liao Army was not mobilized, it would be difficult to win. It would be better to return to Yanjing first and join forces with the Liao Kingdom's 11th Army. General, let's discuss the next step.

Of course, there are also objections from the Liao generals. They believe that the Liangshan Army has already launched an offensive. They withdraw now. If the Liangshan Army takes the opportunity to pursue the attack, the result will be unpredictable.

Xiao Qian felt that these suggestions were reasonable, so he ordered his subordinates to write these opinions into memorials and report them to Xiao Pu Xiannu.

Xiao Qian sent someone to take his memorial and immediately rode back to Yanjing. He entered the palace and came to the Changchun Hall and reported to Xiao Pu Xiannu.

It was already midnight, and the palace located in the southwest corner of Yanjing City was very quiet.

After hearing this, Xiao Puxiannu was silent for a long time, and then said: "Isn't the Liangshan Army a group of grass bandits? Isn't Jiang Yan a bandit leader? How could they be so powerful? Could it be that you didn't try your best to fight?"

The people sent back by Xiao Qian lowered their heads in shame: "I dare not hide it from the Queen Mother. Our warriors on the front line are fighting to the death. It's just that the Liangshan army has more soldiers and horses than us, and its combat power is not inferior to ours. That's why we are paying a lot of casualties." retreated under the circumstances.”

Now, Yizhou and Zhuozhou have fallen, and the southern gate of Yanjing has been opened. The city of Yanjing is in danger, and the hope of holding Yanjing is somewhat slim. However, Xiao Pu Xiannu, who finally came to power, is not willing to give in. She wants to give it a go, even if the consequences are It's death.

Xiao Puxian Nu sighed and said, "Let's discuss it in court tomorrow."

The next day, in the Yuanhe Hall, Xiao Puxian said to the civil and military officials: "The current situation is very serious, and the Liao Dynasty has reached the point of life and death. The Jurchen soldiers and horses have moved into Fengshengzhou and are about to attack the city. Yizhou Gaofeng and Zhuozhou Pharmacist Guo has sent water to Liangshan, and the Liangshan army on the front line has also moved north, and will soon be approaching the city. Now our country in Liao is in dire straits, and the clan is about to collapse. If you have any clever ideas, please feel free to speak out. "

Zuo Qigong said: "In my opinion, I can send envoys to the Kingdom of Jin to be my ministers. The Jin Dynasty is like the rising sun, and the army is invincible. If you follow it, you will survive, if you go against it, you will perish. Our country, the Liao Dynasty, is riddled with holes. It’s dying, otherwise it might be difficult to preserve.”

Although Zuo Qigong was a Han, he had no favorable impressions of the Han people at all. On the contrary, he particularly admired the Jurchens and had been persuading Northern Liao to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.

Han Fang, who was waiting to be controlled by Qianwen Pavilion, put forward a different view. He said: "I think it is better to surrender to the Liangshan Mountains than to surrender to the Jin Kingdom. The Jin Kingdom originated from the frontier and was just a group of wolves. As a companion, the future is dangerous. Sooner or later, they will become their meal. However, the Han people are a civilized country. They learn ancient rituals, make rituals and music, revise laws and regulations, and use the talents of heaven to start from the fields and achieve great things. , must be a great hero of the world, if you surrender, he will definitely be able to lead us to resist the Jurchen invasion. "

Han Fang was the imperial examination champion of the Liao Kingdom ten years ago. He was a kind man and always advocated getting closer to the Han people to protect the country.

By the way, Han Fang is now Li Chuwen's spokesperson in the court, and the person behind him is Li Chuwen, the prime minister of Northern Liao Dynasty.

Zuo Qigong roared at Han Fang: "Don't you see the despicable deeds of the Han people? When Daliao was facing the end of the country, they took advantage of the crisis, added insult to injury, and went north to attack Daliao. How could we surrender? Such villains? Shuibo Liangshan is just a bunch of small bandits. If we surrender, we will be laughed at by everyone in the world. Only the Kingdom of Jin can send envoys to negotiate!"

Han Fang said without giving in: "The purpose of the Han people sending troops to the north is to recover the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. These places are originally the homeland of the Central Plains, and it is understandable that they want to take them back. But the Jurchens are not like that. The Jurchens just want to destroy us. Daliao Ancestral Temple, this is their ultimate goal. Even if they send envoys to negotiate, there will definitely be no good results. Moreover, the Jurchens are digging up the tombs of our royal family, robbing our women, and enslaving our men. We, the Liao people, have nothing to do with it. Even if you have the strength, you can't conquer the Jurchens! As for saying that Shuibo Liangshan is weak, that's just a humble opinion. With Jiang Yan's vision and courage, with the strength shown by Shuibo Liangshan, he will definitely wipe out the heroes in less than ten years. Conquer the chaos, bring peace to the world, and achieve harmony!”

At this time, all the ministers in Beiliao were discussing and whispering among themselves. Some of them are in favor of raining down gold, and some are in favor of raining down Liangshan.

Sitting on the dragon chair, Xiao Pu Xiannu saw that all her ministers were in favor of surrender, and no one advocated defending the city to the end and resisting to the end. She couldn't help but feel sad and painful in her heart!

Deep down in her heart, Xiao Pu Xiannu was firmly against surrender. Although she was a woman, she had a strong personality and advocated that it would be better to be in pieces than in ruins.

However, now many ministers in the Northern Liao Dynasty suggested that they should seek peace with Shuibo Liangshan or the Jurchens, so Xiao Pu Xiannu had no choice but to follow the trend. At the same time, she felt that this was also a delaying measure that could buy more time for further planning in the future.

Xiao Pu Xiannu said: "Let's stop fighting. I think both are preferable. Regarding Shuibo Liangshan and Dajin, we sent envoys to sue for peace and accept money as vassals. Whoever accepts first will surrender. What do you think?" "

All the ministers said in unison: "The Queen Mother is wise, this is the best of both worlds."

Those who did not agree with the surrender also saw that Xiao Puxian was a delaying strategy, so they did not make any announcement. Instead, they came to meet Xiao Puxian separately later to discuss ways to resist the Liangshan Army and the Jin Army.

On the same day, Xiao Pu Xiannu sent Xiao Rong and Han Fang, the envoys of Yongchang Palace, to Shuibo Liangshan, and sent Zhang Yan, the Pingzhangshi under Tongzhongshu's family, and Zhang Ji, the official of Shangshudu, to the Kingdom of Jin.

Xiao Rong and Han Fang traveled to Gu'an and learned that Jiang Hongfeiren was no longer in Xiongzhou, but led his army north to Yongqing.

Xiao Rong and Han Fang quickly sent people to contact Liangshan Army, and then met people from Wu Lin's tribe.

Wu Lin sent a team of troops to escort Xiao Rong and Han Fang to Yongqing.

Far away, Xiao Rong and Han Fang saw the Liangshan Army lined up to greet them, with military flags and formations in order, and the soldiers in high spirits.

Xiao Rong's face was filled with surprise. He said to Han Fang, "This is a military courtesy."

Han Fang didn't say anything. He knew very well that Shuibo Liangshan was showing their military power to them.

However, from this point of view, the military strength of Liangshan Army is indeed not weak, with advanced equipment, sufficient troops, and a neat team that can be seen at a glance.

Jiang Hongfei did not meet Xiao Rong and Han Fang in person, but sent Li Gang and Wu Yong to meet them.

After the four met in the living room, Xiao Rong and Han Fang explained their intentions and handed Li Gang the memorial of Xiao Puxian's daughter.

Li Gang looked at it, said nothing, and handed it to Wu Yong beside him.

After Wu Yong saw it, he expressed his opinion and said: "I don't accept soil, I just pay tribute as a minister. If this doesn't work, my family will definitely not accept it."

Han Fang explained: "To accept money is to accept soil. The composition of the residents in Yanjing is very complex. There are many Khitan, Xi, Bohai and other people, not all of whom are Han people. If we completely accept soil, it may not be left to your management. It's a good thing. It's not a bad thing to stay in Liao and help you manage this place. I hope you can consider the best of both worlds to avoid regrets. "

Xiao Rong also said: "Da Liao is a good neighbor. History has proved that if you don't cherish it, you will know what it means to regret it when you encounter bad neighbors in the future. Unfortunately, it will be too late by then."

Li Gang patiently told Xiao Rong and Han Fang: "Now, the Jurchens have surrounded the Yan region. Without my family's full support to your family, not only will the Liao Kingdom be destroyed, but the people of the Yan region will be in misery. And according to your family's words , If you don’t accept the soil, how can my family help you with all your strength? In the future, if my family helps your family to fight off the Jurchens, and your family crosses the river to destroy the bridge, or even rebels, who will my family ask to reason with? "

Han Fang felt that what Li Gang said made some sense.

Han Fang asked: "Then what does your family stand for?"

Wu Yong shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "The best way is for two families to become one family."

Xiao Rong asked: "How do two families become one family?"

Wu Yong stopped shaking his feather fan and said: "I heard that your Empress Dowager Xiao is not yet thirty this year. She is very suitable for my Duke. She might as well marry my Duke as a concubine. When the emperor died, my family would establish the capital in Yanjing. , all the civil and military officials of the Qin family joined our dynasty. The land area of ​​your and my two families together increased several times, and the strategic depth was greatly increased. There were millions of soldiers and horses, whether it was the Jurchens or Zhao and Song Dynasties, how could they belong to your and my two families? Enemies, in a few years, the world has been in chaos, and we are all heroes of the founding of the country, isn't it wonderful? "

Xiao Rong was shocked when he heard this. He said in disbelief: "What, your father-in-law wants to take my queen mother as his concubine?!!!"
