Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Xiao Gan attacked Liaoshigang at night and defeated the Liangshan Beiwei Army and the Infantry Army. The Liao Army also lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and actually did not gain much advantage.

Xiao Gan felt that the combat effectiveness of the Liangshan Army was too strong, not weaker than the Jin Army.

You know, Xiao Gan took advantage of the siege and ambush, but he did not win a big victory.

In particular, the strong combat power displayed by the ambushed Beiwei Army and the later reinforced Tabai Army, Podi Army, Youyi Army and Shengjie Army gave Xiao Gan a great shock.

Xiao Gan never expected that the main generals of these Liangshan armies were all top-notch Qi-refining warriors who were ten thousand enemies. They ambushed first, and the troops were several times more than the Liangshan Army. To use the words of a certain film and television drama in Jiang Hongfei's previous life, Xiao Gan had not fought such a rich battle for a long time.

But the result was that the tens of thousands of Liao troops led by Xiao Gan were killed and repelled by more than 10,000 Liangshan troops. They even failed to defeat the Beiwei Army and the Bushi Army, which were heavily surrounded by the Liao army.

This battle gave Xiao Gan a clearer understanding of the combat power of the Liangshan Army.

Xiao Gan remembered what Xiao Puxian said to him two days ago: "Brother, I feel that the Liao Dynasty is doomed."

Seeing that he was no match for the Liangshan Army, Xiao Gan hesitated and gave up the idea of ​​capturing the leader first. He chose to retreat and prepare to find an opportunity to try to sneak attack the Liangshan Army's grain camp, hoping to force the Liangshan Army to retreat.

But Xiao Gan led his troops to retreat across the Baigou River and was ambushed by the Liangshan Army.

Some people may ask, where did the Liangshan Army that ambushed Xiao Gan come from?

The answer is simple, it was the left and right Liao Army.

The previous document mentioned that after the left and right Liao army crossed the Lugou River without any trouble, they found that although there were defensive fortifications left by the Liao army on the opposite side, there were only a few hundred Liao soldiers. Moreover, these few hundred Liao soldiers also fled after seeing that the Liangshan army dared to cross the Lugou River. Zhu Wu, Mrs. Jia and others were all confused and puzzled.

However, soon, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, Wang Bin, Wang Yan, Li Yanxian, Zhao Li and other generals analyzed that it must be Xiao Gan who transferred the troops here to attack the middle Liao army led by Jiang Hongfei.

Later, Zhang Xian was lucky enough to catch a few Liao soldiers who did not have time to escape, and they proved the speculation of Yue Fei and others from their mouths.

At that time, some people advocated to rescue the Central Army of Liao immediately, but Yue Fei and others believed that the Central Army of Liao had 100,000 people, and Jiang Hongfei and others had fought for many years, so they would definitely not be ambushed by Xiao Gan. They should take advantage of this opportunity to ambush Xiao Gan's troops on the road Xiao Gan must take to return and destroy this Liao army.

Moreover, to be honest, it was too late for the left and right armies of Liao to rescue the Central Army of Liao.

Of course, even so, there were still many generals who advocated to rescue the Central Army of Liao.

This is understandable. After all, the Central Army of Liao was led by Jiang Hongfei himself. If something went wrong, not only would their efforts to conquer Liao be wasted, but Liangshan Marsh would also inevitably be in turmoil.

However, in the end, Zhu Wu and Madam Jia still withstood the pressure and chose to ambush Xiao Gan.

So, Zhu Wu, Madam Jia and others mobilized their elite troops and set up an ambush to ambush Xiao Gan under the advice of the staff officer who was familiar with the terrain.

Although Xiao Gan retreated decisively after being defeated by the Liangshan Central Army, he was still ambushed by the Liangshan Left and Right Army.

When Xiao Gan led a group of Liao troops through a large pine forest in a hurry, Xiao Gan felt that the yin energy here was heavy and the situation seemed a little bad.

Xiao Gan believed in his intuition very much, and he immediately ordered: "Quick! Retreat!"

But it was too late.

Arrows were fired from the woods on both sides, and the arrows were like rain.

The Liao army was caught off guard by the left and right armies, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses were all hit by a rain of arrows.

Zhu Wu, Madam Jia and other commanders stood on the top of the mountain to observe the battle.

Seeing Xiao Gan choose to rush forward in the rain of arrows, Zhu Wu, Madam Jia and others all laughed.

At Zhu Wu's signal, the messenger waved the flag in his hand, and the bugler standing beside him blew the charge horn.

The Liangshan cavalry on the left and right sides of the Liao army, hiding in the pine forest, were like tigers descending from the mountains, shooting at the Liao army and rushing towards them.

Soon, the two armies met and fought fiercely.

What made Xiao Gan even more bitter was that while they were fighting with the Liangshan army that ambushed them, the Liangshan army that was chasing them actually arrived at the battlefield.

As soon as they arrived at the battlefield, Du Fu, Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong, Wang Jin and others were ready to join the battle.

But before Du Fu and others could take action, Chen Xizhen came to them on a cloud and asked them to rest as soon as possible and prepare to pursue.

Du Fu and others heard it and immediately dismounted. They ate dried meat, fed beans to the horses, and drank water to solve the three urgent needs. They sharpened their knives and waited for the left and right sides of the Liao army to defeat the Liao army so that they could chase and kill the Liao army.

It is worth mentioning that the reason why Du Fu and others were so stable was mainly because the left and right armies of the Liao army had the advantage of ambush and numbers at this time, and were suppressing the Liao army and had an absolute upper hand.

In the huge forest, dust was flying and the sound of killing was deafening. A bloody battle lasted for more than an hour and ended only when the sky was bright.

The morning glow gradually dyed the severed head, limbs and torso red, and blood splattered everywhere. On the battlefield, horses fell to the ground and mutilated corpses were intertwined, and the pool of blood was filled with fear and despair. The soldiers of the Liangshan Army and the warriors of the Liao Army were mixed together, and only their clothing could distinguish them from each other. The air was filled with the pungent smell of blood, which was nauseating.

The seriously injured soldiers struggled painfully on the ground. Their eyes were blurred, as if they were looking for the way to heaven, but they seemed afraid of falling into the abyss of hell. The corners of his mouth kept twitching, and it was hard to tell whether it was a smile or a painful groan.

Seeing that he was really outmatched, Xiao Qian could only lead more than 10,000 remaining soldiers to fight his way out of the Liangshan Army's encirclement. Blood splattered on his clothes, face and hair. His eyes were red and fierce, as if he wanted to eat someone, and as if he had just eaten someone. His spiritual power was fully activated, killing people and killing Buddhas. Kill Buddha!

But at this moment, the rested Beiwei Army, Tabai Army, Po Enemy Army, You Yi Army, and Shengjie Army began to cover up and kill the Liao Army with howls.

How could the Liao army, which had been fighting all night, withstand the iron hoofs and sharp sabers of the Beiwei army and other troops who were waiting for work?

The Liao army was quickly defeated and fled towards Yanjing City.

Soon, the infantry troops of the left and right Liao troops began to clean up the aftermath in the forest, and the horse troops of the left and right Liao troops also began to cover up and kill the Liao army that was defeated by the Beiwei army and other armies.

Later history books recorded this period of history: In this battle, from the north of the Marco Polo River to the south of Yanjing, the Liao army's corpses were piled on top of each other. They were hopeless and abandoned their troops to fight in the suburbs.

Xiao Puxiannu received the news of the Liao army's defeat and quickly sent Wu Yanguang to lead Liao generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su to rescue Xiao Qian.

The generals of the Liao Kingdom, Eleven Yao, were the bodyguards of the supreme ruler of the Northern Liao Dynasty. They were the most elite team in the Northern Liao Dynasty. These people were good at fighting and endured wars. They were not afraid of death when fighting and had very strong combat effectiveness.

The two sides fought a battle about ten miles away from Yanjing, with each other winning or losing.

When Zhu Wu and Mrs. Jia caught up, they saw that their side could no longer achieve greater results, so they ordered the troops to retreat.

In the evening, Xiao Qian received an order from Xiao Pu Xiannu, ordering him to set up camp outside Yanjing City, gather his troops, and wait in place.

At that time, the sky was dark and dull. Xiao Qian stared at the dark sky with complicated emotions.

Xiao Qian has been in the army for more than 30 years, but has he ever fought such a big defeat?

Xiao Qian asked himself: "Is Daliao really over?"

…

After hearing the news of Xiao Qian's defeat at Lugouhe, Xiao Puxiannu was shocked and angry. Her pretty face was filled with an ashen color.

Xiao Puxian never expected that her invincible brother would suffer such a huge defeat.

How can this be? ! ! !

After Xiao Pu Xiannu reluctantly accepted this cruel fact, another problem troubled her.

Ordinarily, Xiao Qian suffered such a huge defeat and should be executed according to military law.

But how could Xiao Puxian's daughter kill Xiao Qian? They were brothers and sisters.

Moreover, Xiao Qian fought bravely and had outstanding military exploits. It would definitely be inappropriate to deal with him according to military law.

Besides, Xiao Puxian's ability to gain the supreme power of rule in Northern Liao was mainly due to Xiao Qian's support.

However, if Xiao Qian is not dealt with, where will the military power be? How can you convince the public?

Xiao Pu Xiannu was hesitant and had no idea what to do. She asked Li Chuwen, who rarely took the initiative to come to see her: "The king of the Fourth Army has lost his army and humiliated the country. How should I punish him, Lieutenant Yi Tai?"

Li Chuwen knew about the relationship between Xiao Qian and Xiao Pu Xiannu, so he defended Xiao Qian and said: "Actually, the king of the Fourth Army is already very powerful. He defeated the enemy several times his troops and caused ten to twenty thousand casualties to the enemy. It is not a complete defeat." . According to my opinion, it is better to exchange the king of the four armies with Dashi Linya, so that the eleven generals of Daliao can gather together, set up the Huntian formation of Daliao, and fight the Liangshan army decisively, so that Daliao will be put to death. And later in life.”

Juyongguan is only a few dozen miles away from Yanjing City. Once something goes wrong, Xiao Qian will definitely be able to lead the troops from Juyongguan to rescue Yanjing City as soon as possible.

Moreover, Li Chuwen's proposal to use the Huntian Formation to fight the Liangshan Army in a decisive battle was also in line with the strong-willed Xiao Pu Xiannu. Anyway, Xiao Pu Xiannu was extremely unwilling to let Xiao Pu Xiannu admit defeat.

Miss Xiao Puxian repeatedly praised: "The Taiwei's suggestion is very popular with the Ai family!"

Xiao Pu Xiannu then asked someone to draft an order: Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi were ordered to change their positions.

After dealing with the defeat of Xiao Qian, Xiao Puxiannu and Li Chuwen came to Yuanhe Palace, ascended to the palace, gathered civil and military officials, Prime Minister Li Chuwen, Prime Minister You Xibojin on the left, Prime Minister Chu Jian on the right, and the generals in charge of the army, etc. Discuss in court.

Xiao Puxiannu said: "Mujiang Yan has invaded the border and occupied Yizhou and Zhuozhou. Now he has invaded Yanjing. Sooner or later he will invade the imperial city. Yanjing will be difficult to protect! How will you, the civil and military ministers, deal with the troubled times in the country?"

The news of the Liao army's defeat had already spread in the city of Yanjing.

All the ministers of Northern Liao really didn't expect that Xiao Qian could suffer such a big defeat this time!

Even in the eyes of some people, the Liao army seems vulnerable!

If this is the case, then these people really need to have a serious discussion about where Beiliao will go.

Seeing that no one was talking, Li Chuwen asked Xiao Rong and Han Fang, who had just returned from Jiang Hongfei's place: "What news did you bring back from your mission to Shuibo Liangshan this time?"

Xiao Rong heard this and told Jiang Hongfei tactfully that he wanted to take Xiao Puxian's daughter as his concubine.

What is a little surprising is that Xiao Pu Xiannu did not get angry after hearing this, and I don't know if it was because she already knew about it.

On the other hand, Wu Yanguang and other generals of the Liao Kingdom, Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su, were furious after hearing this. They all said: "Han dogs have insulted me in Daliao too much. They bullied me and there are no people in Daliao. I am so angry!"

Wu Yanguang took this opportunity to kneel down to Xiao Puxian and said, "The former slave wanted to lead the troops on his own many times, but was often blocked by others, which led to him becoming a traitor and causing such a disaster. Fu begged to personally deliver the imperial edict, and allowed the ministers to choose the troops and horses. We must gather troops from all over the country and attack the enemy. We must capture Jiang Yan and other thieves and restore the original city to avenge this great humiliation for me and the Empress Dowager!"

Xiao Puxian's daughter was waiting for Wu Yanguang's words. She said: "This is a decisive battle for the whole country. The Aijia allows you to wait for Generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su to establish Dasheng Mansion, recruit 150,000 patriotic warriors, and collect 200,000 Army, choose a day to leave the city and fight the Liangshan bandits! "

After Wu Yanguang and other generals of the Liao Kingdom, Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su, received their orders, they began to set up a command organization. They appointed more than 100 staff officers, staff officers, scribes, officials, and in charge of writing and preparation of missions. They also selected and appointed dozens of officials from the three provinces, the Ministry of Personnel, and Household Affairs.

Dasheng Mansion, as a temporary supreme military command organization to protect Yanjing City, was quickly established in a short period of time under the leadership of Wu Yanguang and other generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su, and began to operate at high speed.

At the same time, lists for recruiting warriors were quickly posted on the main streets of Yanjing City. These literary lists were published in the name of Dasheng Mansion, which attracted great attention from the citizens of Yanjing.

There is no limit to the targets of this recruitment. Regardless of the Han Dynasty, as long as they are loyal to the Daliao Dynasty and brave enough to fight, they are all within the scope of recruitment. I hope these brave people can come to Dasheng immediately after seeing the list. Report to the government.

In fact, not everyone is like Xiao Pu Xiannu and Generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su of the Liao Kingdom who advocated a strong enemy in Shuibo Liangshan.

What a large number of literati headed by Li Chuwen wanted to do was to agree to the conditions of staying in Liangshan and marry Xiao Puxian's daughter to Jiang Hongfei as a concubine in exchange for the safety of hundreds of thousands of subjects in Yanjing.

But forcing the queen mother to marry the enemy as a concubine is really hard to say, and Xiao Puxian has a strong character. Generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su of the Liao Kingdom are clamoring for a decisive battle with the Liangshan Army.

There was no other way, so Li Chuwen could only summon Han Fang and a large number of people who advocated drowning in Liangshan to come to his house to discuss countermeasures.

Li Chuwen said: "We, the Liao Dynasty, have repeatedly fought against the Liangshan army, but the troops have not made any profit. Now that Jiang's army is strong and his horses are strong, he will regain the sixteen states of Yanyun and restore the Han people's old land, which is a rare thing. We, the Liao Dynasty, have lost four of the five capitals." , and there are strong Jurchen enemies on the side, and without the protection of Jiang Guogong, they will be defeated. Moreover, at the end of the strong crossbow, the force cannot reach the Lu Zhen; at the end of the charge, the force cannot float the feather. It’s better to get married…”

In fact, regardless of the feelings of Xiao Pu Xiannu and some radical Liao people, at this moment when the Northern Liao Dynasty is about to perish, the idea of ​​​​watering Liangshan is indeed the best choice at the moment.

At least in the eyes of these Northern Liao ministers who wanted to surrender to Liangshan, this was the case.

Therefore, all the Northern Liao ministers who wanted to surrender to Liangshan agreed with Li Chuwen's idea.

Seeing that everyone agreed with his point of view, Li Chuwen added: "The Queen Mother is just a strong character, so she will not listen to our advice. It is better to wait until Generals Eleven Yao and Twenty-eight Su lead their troops to fight the decisive battle with the Liangshan Army, and we can take the Queen Mother hostage and throw her into the river. …”
