Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

After Chen Xizhen arrived in Luanzhou, he handed over the additional troops that Jiang Hongfei had given to Han Shizhong, and then announced the punishment for Han Shizhong.

After hearing this, Han Shizhong was both ashamed and moved.

Since then, Han Shizhong has been training his troops honestly, waiting for the opportunity to avenge his shame.

Soon, Yue Fei also came to see Chen Xizhen.

Chen Xizhen said to Yue Fei and Han Shizhong: "Zhang Jue is deeply entrenched in Pingzhou. On the surface, we are holding back, secretly strengthening intelligence and reconnaissance work, and paying close attention to Zhang Jue's every move. Also, the horse troops in your hands are assembled and on standby. Attack at any time.”

The Jin State also had back-up forces in Ping, Luan and Ying prefectures.

The person in charge of affairs in Ping, Luan, and Ying prefectures was Wanyan Mu, who was the governor of Jin Guo South Road at that time.

Wanyan Yanmu is the half-brother of Wanyan Aguda. She has made outstanding military achievements since the rebellion against Liao Dynasty. She previously led the army to station in Jinzhou, and her main tasks were to defeat Xiao Qian and recruit Zhang Jue.

After Jiang Hongfei captured Yandi, Wanyan Aguda wrote in an edict to Wanyan's mother: "Xiao Qian used a mob to defend the stronghold, and he will definitely kill himself. If the enemy does not come out to plunder, there is no need to attack. Zhang Jue The occupation of Pingzhou is very important. If there is an opportunity, Tong Zhongshu's disciple Ping Zhangshi can be allowed to serve as a guard in Nanjing, recruit him to surrender, and wait for an opportunity to capture Pingzhou. "

There were only three thousand troops stationed in Jinzhou. Wanyan Mu left one thousand to guard the city, and the remaining two thousand followed him south.

Soon, the Jin army arrived at Runzhou and occupied it. They then sent troops all the way to Yuguan and sent prisoners with a letter to recruit Zhang Jue to surrender.

Zhang Jue originally did not want to surrender to the Jin State, because he was under the banner of granting Yelu Yanxi the title of Lord. If he surrendered to the Jin State, his character would be ruined.

However, Shuibo Liangshan did not accept Zhang Jue's surrender at all, and sent Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to seize Luanzhou and Yingzhou respectively, and were ready to attack Pingzhou.

There was no other way, so Zhang Jue could only write a letter of surrender to Wanyan Agu and send someone to send it to Wanyan’s mother:

"The emperor of the Northern Dynasties hunted westward and did not return. The emperor of the Southern Dynasty was defeated by the Liangshan bandits. The Liangshan bandits went north to occupy Nanjing. The bandits were full of soldiers on all roads, and the roads were blocked. There was no one to rely on. The emperor took the burden and sent people to write down the instructions and find them. With the form of payment, Fu Meng was sent down to issue an edict, and the order was issued..."

Seeing that Zhang Jue was willing to surrender to the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Yan's mother was very happy. She accepted Zhang Jue's surrender on behalf of Wanyan Aguda, and changed Pingzhou to Jin Nanjing according to Wanyan Aguda's wishes, and promoted Zhang Jue to Tongzhong Shumenxiaping. Zhang Shi also served as a stay-at-home officer in Nanjing, and then paid close attention to the developments in Pingzhou.

After Zhang Jue won the victory at Tu'er Mountain, Wanyan Yanmu immediately reported the good news to Wanyan Aguda.

When he heard that Zhang Jue had won a great victory at Tu'er Mountain, Wanyan Aguda was very happy and immediately issued a secret edict to Wanyan's mother, asking Wanyan's mother to pay tens of thousands of spiritual stones to reward him. At the same time, he sent Zhang Jue's brother Zhang Jun to carry him. Ping Zhangshi, a disciple of Tong Zhongshu, also served as the military license holder left behind in Nanjing, as well as the edicts, orders, imperial edicts, etc. and went to Pingzhou.

Zhang Jue was overjoyed when he learned about it and personally led a large group of officials out of the city to pay homage to the Jin envoy.

This matter was quickly discovered by Jinyiwei's intelligence personnel, and they quickly reported it to Chen Xizhen.

Chen Xizhen felt that an opportunity had come, so he asked Han Shizhong and Yue Fei to send a thousand horse troops each to attack Zhang Jue.

Han Shizhong did not dare to neglect and sent his general Wang Sheng to lead an army of 1,000 horses to attack immediately.

Yue Fei also sent his general Niu Gao to lead an army of one thousand horses to attack immediately.

Facing the sudden attack by Wang Sheng and Niu Gao, Zhang Jue was unprepared and was caught off guard by the Liangshan army.

Zhang Jue hurried back to the city, but was intercepted by Han Shizhong in the east of the city. He was defeated and could not return to the city.

Zhang Jue had no choice but to flee along a small road to Runzhou, and his brother Zhang Jun accompanied him.

After that, the Liangshan army surrounded Pingzhou City and attacked day and night.

What is surprising is that even if there is no Zhang Jue in Pingzhou City, it is still very difficult to defeat. Han Shizhong and Yue Fei fought for several days but failed to defeat it.

Later, Chen Xizhen and others learned that only Zhang Dungu and other generals were holding on in Pingzhou City.

Zhang Dungu was Zhang Jue's cousin. He led Zhang Jue's nephews and the people of Pingzhou to defend Pingzhou City.

On the other hand, many officials in Pingzhou, such as Wei Fu, the deputy envoy of Jiedu, and Zhao Minyan, the staff officer, have abandoned the city and fled.

In fact, the people of Pingzhou hoped to be rescued by the Jin army, so they refused to surrender.

But the Kingdom of Jin really wanted to get Pingzhou, but Wanyan's mother only had 3,000 men and horses, and another thousand were left in Jinzhou, and there were no reinforcements. Therefore, facing the fierce offensive of the Liangshan army, Wanyan's mother did not dare to fight with the Liangshan army. Open warfare.

To put it bluntly, here in Pingzhou, Jin Guo's attitude is that he only wants to gain and not gain.

Under such circumstances, how could Pingzhou withstand the Liangshan Army's attack?

Not long after, Pingzhou City was captured by the Liangshan Army, and Zhang Jue's mother and wife were all captured by the Liangshan Army.

The day after Zhang Jun arrived in Runzhou, he heard that his mother had been captured by the Liangshan Army. He hurried back to Pingzhou and wanted to ask Chen Xizhen, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei to let his mother and his family go.

In order to get the Liangshan army to release him, Zhang Jun dedicated the imperial edict on gold-flowered paper written by Wanyan Aguda to his brother Zhang Jue, as well as the imperial edict and orders and other documents, all to Chen Xizhen.

Chen Xizhen didn't dare to deal with the matter, so he quickly sent someone to deliver these things to Jiang Hongfei.

Jiang Hongfei didn't understand Khitan writing, so he called Liu Yanzong to be his translator.

——The Jurchens had no writing at first, and the Jurchen nobles all learned Khitan. Therefore, after the founding of the Jin Dynasty, almost all official documents at home and abroad were in Khitan. However, senior officials of the Jin Kingdom such as Wanyan Aguda and Wanyan Wu Qimai were already studying the creation of Jurchen writing.

Liu Yanzong hated the Jin people for destroying his home, so when he translated for Jiang Hongfei, he inevitably added jealousy, hoping that Shuibo Liangshan would really fight the Jin Kingdom and avenge the Liao people.

Jiang Hongfei knew this very well.

In fact, Liu Yanzong was not the only Liao people who hoped that Shuibo Liangshan would go to war with the Jin Kingdom. It can be said that a large number of Liao people hoped that Jiang Hongfei could help them take revenge, even Xiao Pu Xiannu was no exception.

Let's put it this way, when Jiang Hongfei made a declaration of war against Wanyan Agu, Jiang Hongfei's reputation among the Liao people greatly increased, and the number of Liao people who left Yandi immediately decreased.

This is actually one of the reasons why Jiang Hongfei went to war with the Kingdom of Jin.

Of course, this was not the main reason why Jiang Hongfei went to war with the Kingdom of Jin.

Wanyan Aguda understands that what you can't get on the battlefield can't be obtained at the negotiation table, so why doesn't Jiang Hongfei understand?

Jiang Hongfei knows better than anyone how aggressive the Jin people, especially the Jurchens among the Jin people, are. If they don't beat them to pain, they will not only not hand over Yun Di obediently, but will often harass him. territory.

Therefore, in order to avoid hundreds of punches, before competing in the Central Plains, Jiang Hongfei must first teach his evil neighbor Jin Guo a profound lesson, lest they stab him in the back when he goes to compete in the Central Plains.

Based on this purpose, Jiang Hongfei will definitely not hold back.

After learning that Chen Xizhen and the others had captured Pingzhou, Jiang Hongfei immediately appointed Zhan Du to stay in Pingzhou, and sent Lin Ren to preside over Dao Tian, ​​while Li Yanxian led his troops to Pingzhou to build the Guanningjin defense line.

The Guanning-Jin defense line is a defense line from Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) to Jinzhou via Ningyuan. It has Shanhaiguan as the backing, Ningyuan as the backbone, and Jinzhou as the vanguard. There are multiple forts built in between as joint defense strongholds.

Looking at Jiang Hongfei's order, it is not difficult to guess that Jiang Hongfei wants to seize Jinzhou, which means taking the initiative to attack Wanyan Mu.

The people who took action were naturally Chen Xizhen, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong who were already familiar with Wanyan Yanmu...

At the same time, Wanyan Aguda also secretly ordered the Jin army to attack: one group was led by Wanyan Zonghan towards Nanankou; one group was led by Wanyanchang towards Gubeikou; the other group was led by Wanyan Aguda towards Juyongguan. Three groups attacked Yanjing at the same time.

In addition, Wanyan Aguda also ordered Wanyan Xie to tie up his horse, wrap his armor with a flag, and gallop silently through Jinpo Pass, hoping to capture Jinpo Pass, and then attack Juyong Pass backwards from Jinpo Pass, and then Attack Yanjing.

In other words, the Jin people did not divide their troops into three groups to attack Yanjing, but divided their troops into four groups to attack Yanjing.

The first one to fight was Juyongguan, which was closest to Fengsheng Prefecture.

After taking over Juyong Pass, Wang Zhen, the general in charge of Juyong Pass, personally supervised the construction and asked thousands of craftsmen and tens of thousands of civilians sent by Jiang Hongfei to build Juyong Pass into an impregnable state.

Wang Zhen predicted that there would be a battle between Shuibo Liangshan and the Jin Kingdom sooner or later, and Juyongguan would definitely be the focus of the Jin army's attack.

Not long ago, Jiang Hongfei declared war on the Kingdom of Jin again, and Wang Zhen became even more careful.

Not only was Wang Zhen careful, the hotel intelligence system and Jin Yiwei in Shuibo Liangshan also sent out a large number of spies to inquire about Jin Jun's movements.

Therefore, as soon as the Jin army moved, the hotel intelligence system and Jin Yiwei in Shuibo Liangshan alerted the five gate guards and Yanjing.

After Wang Zhen learned that the Jin army was about to take action, he immediately prepared for war and deployed his 10,000 troops to various strategic locations. He also formulated a rotation schedule and passwords, and prepared rolling wood, stones, kerosene, braziers, etc. to defend the city. Required utensils.

Some people may think that Shuibo Liangshan stationed 10,000 troops at Juyongguan, which was too small.

In fact, one man in Juyongguan can't open the pass and ten thousand men can't open it. The number of troops guarding the pass at ordinary times is 3,000. This 10,000 troops is already a lot.

In addition, in order to strengthen the defense of Juyongguan, Jiang Hongfei transferred 150 crossbows, 3,000 divine arm bows, and 1 million arrows to Wang Zhen, and sent Zhao Li to reinforce Wang Zhen at any time.

The canyon where Juyongguan Guancheng is located belongs to the mountainous area of ​​​​the military capital of the Taihang Mountains. It is flanked by the Western Mountains, has huge streams and cliffs, and the terrain is extremely dangerous.

The commander of the Jin army responsible for attacking Juyong Pass was Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyan Zongwang came to Juyong Pass and took a look. Due to its special geographical location, Juyong Pass was impregnable. If they relied on hard attack, they might not be able to shake this ancient pass even if they conquered it forever.

Wanyan Zongwang is currently the most skilled son of Wanyan Aguda, and he is also a very wise general.

After conducting a tentative attack and being easily repelled by Wang Zhen, Wanyan Zongwang decided to outsmart him.

Therefore, after Wanyan Zongwang launched several large-scale attacks, he abandoned weapons, horses and other strategic materials and pretended to escape.

Seeing this, many generals of the Liangshan Army thought that the Jin Army that swept across the Liao Kingdom was nothing more than this, and that it was a joke that Wanyan Zongwang could become a famous general.

The more arrogant a person is, the less clear his mind becomes.

Many generals of the Liangshan Army wanted to leave the country to pursue the Jin Army.

Only Wang Zhen smiled coldly and asserted: "This is because the Jurchens saw that my barrier was difficult to break, so they lured me out of the barrier. How can I fall into his little plan?"

If Wanyan Zongwang had only this method, he would not be one of the culprits responsible for the disgrace of Jingkang in history.

In order to completely believe the Liangshan army guarding Juyong Pass, Wanyan Zongwang designed a trap.

While pretending to escape, Wanyan Zongwang not only ordered the Jin Army cavalry to throw down the cheese, kumiss and other items they were carrying, but also deliberately let the Liangshan Army capture several Jin Army soldiers.

Under severe torture by the Liangshan Army soldiers, these Jin Army soldiers who were deliberately captured had to tell the "truth" about their escape.

It turned out that some Liao people rebelled in the Jin army's base camp and wanted to drown themselves in Liangshan. They had to retreat. They were afraid of being pursued by the Liangshan army, so they fled in a hurry.

After many Liangshan generals heard the false news spread by the Jin Army soldiers, they believed it to be true if they found a treasure. They asked the king for instructions and immediately sent troops to hunt down the Jin Army and capture Wanyan Zongwang alive.

Guarding Juyong Pass with Wang Zhen was Shan Shiqi, the commander of the Bu Qi Army.

Shan Shiqi felt that he was better than Wanyan Zongwang.

After hearing the false news from the Jin Army soldiers, Shan Shiqi felt as if he had found a treasure, believed it to be true, and wanted to go out to capture Wanyan Zongwang.

At the beginning, Jiang Hongfei left a clear order, with Wang Zhen as the main leader and Shan Shiqi as the supplementary one.

However, Wang Zhen is a new member of Shuibo Liangshan, and he is a Song general who was forced to come by Jiang Hongfei. There may be loyalty issues, and Shan Shiqi's qualifications are much more senior than Wang Zhen.

Therefore, if Wang Zhen tried to stop Shan Shiqi from fighting, he might split the defenders at Juyongguan.

So, Wang Zhen said: "If General Shan is determined to attack, I have a condition..."

Shan Shiqi naturally agreed.

Soon, Shan Shiqi led the Buqi Army to break out of Juyongguan, vowing to capture Wanyan Zongwang alive.

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongwang had already set up an ambush on the way, waiting for Liangshan's army to fall into the trap.

After the Bu Qi Army entered the ambush circle set by Wanyan Zongwang, the nightmare began. The Jin Army surrounded them from all directions and instantly gave way to the Bu Qi Army.

Although Shan Shiqi, Zhu Jing and the Buqi Army were not afraid of death and caused a lot of casualties to the Jin Army, the Jin Army was best at field battles, and they were calculated mentally and unintentionally. As a result, the two sides fought for only half of the battle. Within an hour, Bu Qi Army had lost more than half of its troops.

There is no other way, Shan Shiqi and Zhu Jing can only fight and retreat, retreating to Juyongguan...

In the middle of the battle, Wanyan Zongwang deliberately opened a way to escape, allowing Shan Shiqi and Zhu Jing to lead the remaining defeated generals to escape.

Wanyan Zongwang didn't realize it because of his conscience. He asked the Jin Army soldiers who had already put on the uniforms of the Liangshan Army to mix with the retreating Bu Qi Army and kill towards Juyong Pass.

When Shan Shiqi and Zhu Jing led the defeated soldiers of Bu Qi Army and fled back to Juyong Pass, they were still in shock. They heard screams one after another outside. Someone was shouting: "The Jin people have occupied Juyong Pass. The Jin people have occupied Juyong Pass. Run away." ah!!!"

Shan Shiqi didn't know that there were Jin people in his team, so he subconsciously wanted to order the withdrawal of Jinpo Pass.

But before Shan Shiqi could say anything, a man suddenly shouted in Chinese at Juyong Pass: "Get down!"

The soldiers of the Bu Qi Army remembered the condition that Wang Zhen had put forward before the battle. As soon as he shouted "get down", all the people of the Bu Qi Army must lie down unconditionally.

Before setting off, Shan Shiqi handed over the soldiers of the Bu Seventh Army in accordance with the agreement with Wang Zhen.

Therefore, upon hearing this sudden order, the soldiers of Bu Qi Army reacted and quickly fell to the ground.

As for the Jin Army who infiltrated the Bu Qi Army, not to mention that most of them couldn't understand Chinese, even if they did, they couldn't react.

As a result, one hundred and fifty bed crossbows and thousands of divine arm bows were fired at the same time.

The Jin army who sneaked into Bu Qi's army were immediately killed in pieces, and their death was horrific...
