Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

When the Jin Dynasty court was shaken by Yelu Angge leading the Khitan people to seize Panjin, Wanyan Zongfu and his son were captured alive, and the Dayuan army broke through Panjin's defense line and entered the hinterland of the Jin Dynasty, etc., Yelu Yu saw that the clan had quietly gone north and escaped into Under the protection of the Northeast Recruitment Department.

When Wanyan Dan heard the news, he was furious and immediately issued a strict decree, vowing to kill the entire Yelu Yujian clan.

Subsequently, under the leadership of Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zongqian, and Wanyan Zongjun, the Jin Dynasty and the public launched a brutal suppression of the Khitan and Han rebels.

Although this move quickly intensified the turmoil of the Jin army, it also caused the birthplace of the Jurchens to fall into the hands of the Liao people. The Liao people also massacred the Jurchens in the rear of the Jin Kingdom, cutting off the retreat of the Jin Kingdom's top brass.

However, the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom who no longer cared much about their bitter hometown did not put too much energy into countering the rebellion. Instead, they ordered the splintered Northeast Recruitment Division not to go south again and to return to the division immediately to counter the rebellion. To stabilize the rear.

As the Northeast Recruitment Division took on the heavy responsibility of countering the rebellion, the top brass of the Jin Kingdom set their sights across thousands of mountains and rivers, focusing on the Dayuan Army that had broken through the Liaoxi Corridor and was eyeing it.

Facing the overwhelming Yuan army, the Jin Dynasty court once again debated: How to resist the fierce offensive of the Yuan army?

After fierce debate, the top leaders of the Jin Kingdom reached a consensus that only by ending the war with war can they demonstrate the majesty of the Jin Kingdom and force Dayuan to retreat in the face of difficulties.

To this end, the Kingdom of Jin did not hesitate to mobilize all available troops, including the 400,000 to 500,000 elite troops commanded by Jin Wushu who originally belonged to Wanyan Zonghan, and the 200,000 to 300,000 troops under Wanyan Chang. The Hedi Xin tribe, Tata'er tribe, Shanzhikun tribe, Guangji La tribe and other tribes jointly resisted foreign enemies.

At that time, the Jin court's intention was to let these centrist forces reinforce Panjin.

Who would have thought that Yelu Yujian's 30,000 Khitan troops stationed in Guangning Prefecture at that time sacrificed Panjin City under the leadership of Yelu Angge without waiting for reinforcements from other Panjins to arrive.

Seeing this, the other Jin troops had to retreat hastily to Jin Tokyo, where the Tata'er tribe and other tribes who had just arrived for reinforcements also gathered here.

In addition, the Wanyanchang tribe was originally stationed in the Tokyo area (actually the Wanyanzongjun tribe, temporarily managed by Wanyanchang).

Jin Kingdom Tokyo suddenly gathered an army of four to five million people.

In response to this situation, Wan Yanchang went to Tokyo in person and took command personally, trying to stabilize his position and prepare to face more difficult challenges.

Correspondingly, Yue Fei left some troops to occupy Panjin's defense line, and after resting in Panjin City, he personally led 200,000 Yuan troops towards Tokyo, the Kingdom of Jin.

At the same time, Wang Zhen in the middle line also led an army of 100,000 to arrive outside Dading Mansion of the Kingdom of Jin, and confronted Wan Yanchang's army of 100,000.

——Among them, 70,000 Jin troops are stationed in Dading Mansion, and 30,000 Jin troops are stationed in Daguang Dingzi Mountain to the west of Dading Mansion. They are at horns with Dading Mansion, supporting each other.

Dading Mansion stands between the southern foot of the Daxingan Mountains and the northern end of Yanshan Mountain. It is surrounded by mountains. The terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is like a natural barrier, protecting the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.

Wan Yanchang cleverly deployed 70,000 troops in Dading Mansion, and another 30,000 elite troops were stationed in Daguang Dingzi Mountain. They formed an indestructible line of defense with Dading Mansion.

This made Wang Zhen, who was steady and good at fighting, afraid to act rashly for a while.

On the western front, Zhu Wuzheng led the 100,000 Yuan army and launched a fierce confrontation with the Jin Kingdom's Northwest Road Recruitment Division.

The Northwest Road Recruitment Division is the legacy of Wanyan Loushi, the number one general in the Jin Kingdom, who has fought many tough battles but rarely lost. He is extremely good at conquering.

Nowadays, although Wanyan Loushi is dead, Wanyan Loushi's two sons are also good at fighting, especially his eldest son Wanyan Huonv.

Under the command of Wanyan Huonv, relying on the profound knowledge and flexible guerrilla tactics of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division, they repeatedly saved the day from danger, causing headaches for the Dayuan Army.

Just when the armies of the two countries were confronting each other and the decisive battle was about to begin, an uproar broke out in the Jin Kingdom's court.

The powerful minister Wanyan Zongpan, facing the fierce attack of the Yuan Empire, actually advocated negotiating a peace in exchange for a short-term peace.

Wanyan Zongpan made an impassioned speech: "The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty was known for his benevolence and had not used weapons for many years. His ambition was not to destroy our Jin Kingdom. This war was all caused by generals such as Nianhan repeatedly invading the borders of the Yuan Dynasty and accumulating grudges. Now, blackmail is Generals such as Li Duo, Olubu, and Jianmu have fallen into the hands of Dayuan. If we send Nianhan's family out again to show our sincerity and provide them with generous gifts, we will surely be able to calm down Dayuan's anger and turn the hostility into friendship. "

As soon as Wanyan Zongpan said this, he was immediately strongly opposed by Wanyan Zongqian. He pointed out sharply: "Olubu, Youliduo, Yanmu and others are all heroes who have made great achievements in the southern and northern wars of our Jin Kingdom. The Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty imprisoned our men and plundered our women. This revenge We are irreconcilable. As a prime minister, I don't want to avenge the warriors, but I want to send Nianhan's family into the tiger's mouth. This is nothing like destroying the Great Wall!"

Wanyan Zongqian's anger failed to stop the debate in the court.

Wanyan Zongjun said in a calm tone: "Although the Prime Minister's words are helpless, there are frequent battle reports from the front line. The Yuan army is brave and good at fighting, and our army may be difficult to match. In order to protect the Zong temple and the country, we must compromise for the time being. After the civil strife is calmed down, we can make further plans. ”

Wan Yanchang's younger brother Wan Yan Xu was even more blunt: "If this move is beneficial to our country of Jin, how can we abolish public service for private reasons?"

However, the voice of the militant faction has not weakened.

Some ministers suggested: "The hearts of the Khitan and Han people in the country are unstable. If the Yuan army attacks, it will definitely cause turmoil. However, although the Yuan army is arrogant, our army is not an idle force. Your Majesty can return to Taizhou and personally lead the army to pacify it. When I see the chaos, I will divide my troops into four groups and encircle the Yuan army. I will definitely annihilate them in one fell swoop."

Another minister advocated sticking to Shangjing: "Shangjing is the foundation of the country. If it is lost, the world will be in turmoil. We should stick to Shangjing and win over the people. When King Qin's troops arrive, they will be attacked from inside and outside. The Yuan army will definitely be defeated."

Wanyan Zongqian put forward a more profound insight: "In the past, millions of Khitan troops pressed on the territory, and the Zhao and Song dynasties were facing annihilation. However, under the advice of loyal ministers such as Kou Zhun, Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty resolutely went on a personal expedition, and finally defeated the Liao army and regained the lost territory. . Today, our country of Jin is facing a similar dilemma. Your Majesty should follow the example of Song Zhenzong and march personally to boost the morale of the army and defeat the enemy quickly. "

Wanyan Dan's eyes were flashing with complicated emotions. He knew that Wanyan Zongqian was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Behind those greedy eyes, there was an endless desire for power.

However, in this whirlpool of the palace, the only person Wanyan Dan could rely on was his nominal father Wanyan Zongqian.

Wanyan Dan knew it in his heart, and Wanyan Zongqian asked him to lead the army in person. He just wanted to take this opportunity to establish his prestige and pave the way for regaining the imperial power from Wanyan Zongpan in the future.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wanyan Dan finally nodded in agreement and decided to go into battle himself.

Wanyan Quan immediately ordered the drafting of an imperial edict for personal expedition, and ordered the commander to quickly assemble his troops and prepare for the expedition.

At the same time, Wanyan Gan appointed Wanyan Zongxian as the deputy envoy for the personal expedition, giving him the power to make arbitrary decisions when the situation arises; Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Xu served as staff officers to assist him in formulating strategies.

However, amidst this intensive preparation, a decision concerning the fate of the two countries was quietly brewing in the eastern theater of the Jin Kingdom, also known as the Jin Tokyo area.

All the armies from the Jin Dynasty court to reinforce Panjin City were in place. Among the hundreds of thousands of troops commanded by Wan Yanchang, the vast majority were cavalry, and their number was almost twice that of the Yuan army.

In a field battle, the mobility and impact of the cavalry were undoubtedly fatal, not to mention that the Yuan army did not huddle within the fortified city, but assumed a fight to the death attitude.

Wan Yanchang looked at the army in front of him, feeling an indescribable pride in his heart.

Wan Yanchang firmly believed that he was sure of victory in a decisive battle with Yue Fei's Yuan army.

This confidence comes not only from Wan Yanchang's confidence in his own strength, but also from the fanatical support of his generals, especially the Goryeo army and the grassland bandit Tata'er tribe who have a deep hatred for the Yuan Empire. They urge day and night to complete the war. Yan Chang launched a decisive battle.

After careful deliberation with his staff, Wan Yanchang became more convinced that this battle would be won.

Wanyanchang was determined to make a name for himself through this battle, and even fought against the Emperor of Jin for a long time like Wanyan Zonghan.

Therefore, Wan Yanchang decisively ordered the entire army to attack, divided the troops into four groups, and attacked Yue Fei's troops from four directions at the same time.

Wan Yanchang personally led the 80,000 Jin army as the main force on the south road on the right, vowing to encircle and annihilate the Dayuan army in one fell swoop.

However, Yue Fei was not intimidated by this sudden offensive. He quickly grasped the movements of the Jin army through a network of spies spread across enemy lines. Facing the Jin army's four-pronged encirclement, Yue Fei just smiled lightly: "No matter how many ways you attack, I only need to meet the enemy all the way."

Yue Fei quickly mobilized all the cavalry forces of the Dayuan Army and put them under Zhang Xian's unified command.

Zhang Xian didn't waste any time and led 70,000 cavalrymen straight to the left center of the Jin army.

At the same time, in order to seize the first victory, the Goryeo army marched much faster than the other three Jin armies.

When the armies of both sides met unexpectedly near the Liao River, the Goryeo army fell into an isolated and helpless situation due to its rapid progress.

Seeing that the situation was not good, General Tuo Junjing, the leader of the Goryeo army, hurriedly divided his troops into two, tried to hold on to the Liao River ferry with part of his force, and led his elite troops to cross the river first.

However, Tuo Junjing's move happened to fall into Zhang Xian's trap.

After Zhang Xian used a telescope to observe the enemy's situation, he made a quick judgment. He asked Niu Gao to lead 20,000 cavalry to attack halfway, while he personally led 50,000 cavalry to attack the main force of the Goryeo army in a detour.

The two armies soon fell into a fierce battle.

As the sky gets darker, the battlefield is filled with loud sounds of killing and flames.

The torch lit by the Goryeo Army not only lit up the night sky, but also provided an excellent shooting target for the Yuan Army.

The Yuan army used the light of torches to carry out concentrated fire shooting, causing huge casualties to the Goryeo army.

Zhang Xian took the lead and led the cavalry to cross the trenches and fences of the Goryeo army and attack their camp.

After a hard battle, the main force of the Goryeo army was finally defeated.

At the same time, Niu Gao also successfully defeated the 30,000 elite men led by Tuo Junjing.

After this battle, the Goryeo army suffered heavy casualties and losses, and the water of the Liao River was stained red with blood.

Tuo Junjing only led a few defeated soldiers and fled back to Jindong.

The 40,000 Tatar tribe and the 20,000 Jin army on the north road on the left were also panicked and demoralized after learning the news of the defeat of the Goryeo army. They did not dare to advance rashly and chose to defend on the spot.

As the commander-in-chief, Wanyan Salihe carefully arranged the camel formation as a defensive fortification, and listed the sharpshooters behind him, with the cavalry as the backing, and ordered ten thousand people from the Tatar tribe to divide the camp several miles away. Outside, they echo each other like horns.

However, Yue Fei did not give them a chance to breathe.

He personally led the Dayuan infantry to the edge of the Liao River steadily.

Faced with Wanyan Salihe's defensive deployment, Yue Fei did not rush to attack, but ordered the craftsmen to quickly arrange 500 thunder chariots and 160 red cannons to prepare for bombardment of the Jin army's positions.

With an order, the red cannons of the Yuan army rained down on the camel formation of the Jin army.

In an instant, blood and flesh flew everywhere in the camel formation, and wailing sounded everywhere. Wanyan Salihe was also blown up and cried bitterly and was in a mess.

After the artillery fire, Zhang Xian and Niu Gao each led 20,000 cavalry, and under the cover of the thunder chariots, they took advantage of the victory to pursue and kill into the Jin army's positions.

Although Wanyan Salihe fought hard, the Jin army was blown into chaos and morale by the artillery fire.

After a fierce battle, the Jin army on the left north road finally retreated, leaving a large number of casualties and supplies seized by the Yuan army.

And Wanyan Salihe led the remnants to flee the battlefield like a stray dog.

The eight allied forces on the right wing of the Jin army, including the Hedixin, Shanzhikun, Guangjila, etc., were unable to reach the Liaohe River as scheduled due to the chaos of the command system and the steepness of the mountain roads. They were unaware that the left wing center and the north had been severely damaged, and they still stubbornly followed the established strategy of going north.

At the same time, the iron cavalry of the Yuan army swept the left wing north like a storm, and then turned their spearheads and pointed directly at the 80,000 allied forces.

Facing this behemoth, Yue Fei showed his military wisdom and adopted the strategy of luring the enemy deep into the forest and ambushing them.

Yue Fei secretly mobilized the main force and ambushed in the deep forest on the south bank of the Liaohe River. At the same time, he sent a Khitan-dressed force holding a forged Goryeo army order, claiming that they had fallen out with the Yuan army, and lured the allied forces to speed up.

The allied forces really fell into the trap, lightly equipped, and galloped forward. Their steps, as if being led by an invisible hand, stepped into the trap carefully laid by Yue Fei step by step.

When the vanguard entered Mingdagang, the ambush troops of the Yuan army surged out like a tide. The roar of the red cannon and the collision of the thunder chariot intertwined into a prelude to death. The Hedixin troops were the first to bear the brunt and were instantly swallowed up by this unstoppable force.

Yue Fei saw that the time was ripe, and immediately ordered Lin Chong, Guan Sheng and other fierce generals to attack, pursue the victory, and defeat the follow-up troops of the coalition one by one.

In this battle, the elite of the Jin army suffered heavy losses, and Wanyan Chang, the commander of 80,000 cavalry, failed to provide any effective support in time due to the lack of intelligence.

When the news of the defeat of Tuo Junjing and Wanyan Salihe came, Wanyan Chang was shocked to realize that two of the four armies under his command had been defeated.

In desperation, Wanyan Chang urgently ordered the Jin army in the middle and southern routes of the right wing to retreat.

However, fate did not seem to let Wanyan Chang off easily.

When the messenger finally caught up with the coalition forces in the middle of the right wing, his 80,000 troops had shrunk to less than one-third.

The front army on the southern route encountered Yue Yun's vanguard camp on the way of retreat.

At Yue Yun's command, a deafening conch shell sounded on the mountain, accompanied by the shouts of the soldiers. The Jin army mistakenly thought that the main force of the Yuan army was attacking, and they immediately became chaotic, trampling on each other, and suffered heavy casualties.

In this chaos, the Liao surrendered general Yelu Ma Wu, with his 5,000 Khitan troops, resolutely surrendered to the Yuan army.

At the celebration banquet, Zhang Jun warmly entertained Yelu Ma Wu on behalf of Yue Fei and Yelu Angge.

During the banquet, Zhang Jun not only explained the surrender policy of the Yuan Empire, but also expressed his understanding of Yelu Ma Wu's revenge.

Zhang Jun promised that although the Yuan army would not kill prisoners, it could arrange for the Khitan army to guard the Jurchen prisoners to relieve their hatred.

Three days later, with the help of Yelu Ma Wu's familiarity with the terrain of Jin Dongjing, Yue Fei's troops were ready to go and set out on the road of conquest again.

At this time, although Wanyan Chang had hundreds of thousands of troops and millions of people, as well as the indestructible city of Dongjing, his inner fear had made him lose his previous determination.

Knowing that Yue Fei's troops were approaching Dongjing, Wanyan Chang gave up Jin Dongjing without hesitation and fled to Dading Prefecture with the remaining troops and the people who followed him...

At this point, the Mindi of the Great Yuan Empire, including the eight counties of Japan, was finally connected to the mainland of the Great Yuan Empire, and the strategic goals of the first phase of the Great Yuan Empire had been fully achieved.
