Chapter 71 Dingjiangshan's wisdom to take Huanglongfu
At this time, Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi no longer had the same kindness as before. For the great thunder of this battle, perhaps everyone thought that the commander-in-chief of Xiao Sixian, who was responsible for this battle, would either beheaded or jailed, but they were pardoned as if nothing had happened. Moreover, the reason Xiao Fengxian found was so open that Emperor Tianzuo believed it.
"The defeated troops in the Eastern Expedition are everywhere, and they will rob each place. If they do not forgive me, they may gather people to cause trouble." Xiao Fengxian actually put forward such incredible views on the subsequent defeated troops in the Eastern Expedition. After that, the military discipline of the Liao army became even worse and the soldiers had no fighting spirit.
"Xiao Wuna, do you know your guilt?"
"I deserve to die for ten thousand times, and I am the deputy commander. I did not promptly remind the governor. It was just that Xiao Sixian was in the army..." Xiao Wu was in a state of anger and wanted to say the absurd behavior of Xiao Sixian and others in the general.
"Come on, remove Xiao Wuna and demote him to a commoner. He will never be allowed to enter the court again." Emperor Tianzuo usually had a lot of troubles in his nagging to Xiao Wuna. Before he could finish his words, he was eager to drive him out of the hall. After all, as an important minister of the elders of the two dynasties, it was unrealistic to kill him.
"I beg my emperor to take back the imperial edict." For a moment, all civil and military officials who pleaded for him knelt down one after another. There must be people who are sincere here, but if all the civil officials in the court fell, then the people below them must have no good results. Therefore, the people who pleaded for him responded to him, but they were basically civil officials.
Emperor Tianzuo knew that he could not arouse public anger at this time. The Jurchens would not be eliminated for a day. If the ministers he relied on were disloyal, how could he fight in the future? After careful consideration, he said quietly: "I have thought that Xiao Qin has worked hard for the Liao Dynasty for so many years and devoted himself to the Liao Dynasty. This dereliction of duty is contrary to his past merits and demerits. If there is another time, he will definitely be severely punished and will be ordered to stay in Shangjing and take office immediately."
Xiao Wuna left unwillingly. Looking at his curved back, Emperor Tianzuo and his ministers couldn't bear it. Some civil officials with good relationships secretly shed tears and were very sad.
Although this old minister, who was nearly 70 years old, had no fighting skills, he had the ability to manage the military. After he arrived in Shangjing, he learned from the lessons of the previous two defeats, often visited the barracks in person, guided the training of the barracks, cared for the lives of the soldiers. In order to strengthen the army in the capital and inspire morale, he often sent people to kill cattle and sheep to reward the soldiers, and drank with the soldiers. Because of Emperor Tianzuo's kindness, he accidentally saved Emperor Tianzuo, which is a later story.

Huanglong Prefecture is known as the Eastern Village of Khitan, the Yin Prefecture of Liao, which is the location of the Liao Dynasty's treasury and the lifeblood of the Liao Dynasty. It is not only the treasury that the Liao court gathered financial and taxes, but also the important military town of the Liao Dynasty governed the Bohai, Jurchens, and Shiwei tribes. Back then, it was prosperous and bustling, and it was a large metropolis in the north. In addition to the Khitans, Bohai people, Jurchens and Han people, there were also ethnic minorities such as Tielli, Wura, Turks and Dangxiang. The customs of the countries were different and the ethnic languages were different. Although they were pleasant and pleasant, they could not understand each other. Generally speaking, they used Chinese as the common language. Due to the economic and strategic position of Huanglong Prefecture, the Liao Dynasty stationed heavily here.
On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Aguda led a large army and began to advance towards Huanglong Mansion. However, in order to achieve this goal, it is necessary to first remove the military barrier in the northwest of Huanglong Mansion. Aguda climbed up to the far and wide and saw the Liao soldiers in the ancient city of Dalu. Although he said that the Liao army was said to be 20,000, they were actually all miscellaneous troops who forced to fight and the defeated generals who had fought with us. Although there were many people and vulnerable, he was indeed unsure. While he allowed Yin Shu to set up a high position to resist the Liao army; while he urgently ordered Wanyan Loushi to come to fight from Xianzhou to participate in the war.
When Lou Shi saw the emperor, he rushed to Aguda's military tent overnight. He sweated through the robe and his horse was washed. Aguda couldn't help but say with great distress: "You have entered the battle and went through fire and water. When I heard the emperor, I was moved by the wind. Now the enemy in the ancient city of Dalu is like clouds, and the war is in full swing. Your horse is exhausted, why do you fight? I have given you 200 horses and ordered your army to follow the right wing." Wanyan Lou Shi thanked him for accepting the order.
The next day, Wanyan Loushi led the most elite 3ooo horse soldiers and cavalry to attack the right wing of the Liao army nine times. The Liao army was shocked, but they relied on a large number of people. In a flash, Wanyan Loushi's cavalry was surrounded by the Liao soldiers killed. Aguda was afraid that Wanyan Loushi would be in trouble, so he ordered Wanyan Zongxiong, who defeated the Liao left-wing army, to surround the Liao army. Before Zongxiong could enter, the bravest army and famous Wanyan Loushi had already led his troops to kill the siege and stain the war horses with blood. He and Wanyan Zongxiong attacked each other in front and back.
The Liao army, dozens of times the Jin army, was attacked by the enemy from both sides, but they killed the enemy thousands of miles. The three Jin army advanced and attacked together, chased the Liao army to Aloonggang, and obtained countless weapons, baggage and ploughing tools. After defeating the Liao army in this battle, the entire army was farming and fighting, and guarding Huanglong Mansion for a long time. Aguda rewarded the masters of his merits and praised Wanyan Zongxiong, who had "invincible and collapsed" and Wanyan Loushi, who defeated the Liao army: "If I have a brave and good general, why worry about destroying the Liao army?"
If the Jurchens want to gain strategic initiative, they must capture Huanglong Mansion. For this reason, Aguda personally presided over the military meeting and studied the strategy of attack. However, the Jurchen army was mostly cavalry at this time. At that time, they took nearly 7 days and 7 nights to attack Ningjiang Prefecture. They did not have too many siege equipment to attack the strong and heavily guarded Huanglong Mansion. If they were to waste their time, when the reinforcements around them came, they would be attacked from both sides. Everything they had finally obtained would be wasted.
Just when everyone was frowning and could not think of a feasible solution, Wanyan Loushi, the best man in the Jin Dynasty, stood up. Yes, this martial artist is not only brave, just like Zhang Fei, but also when the inspiration suddenly appeared, this game of fighting wits and courage began.
In just one month, the cities and cities of the Xi tribes around Huanglong Mansion north of the Liao River and west of Xianzhou were destroyed one after another by Wanyan Loushi, turning Huanglong Mansion into an isolated island. The surrounding Jurchens were not in a hurry to attack, which made Yelu Ning, who was guarding the city of Huanglong Mansion very depressed.
Yelu Ning couldn't help it anymore and said to a general next to him: "Have you sent out the letter of help?"
"Don't worry, General, I have handed the letter to General Olido personally. When I come back, General Olido will send troops to reinforce Huanglong Mansion."
On the road ten miles away from Baimabo, the loose Jurchens were wiped out by the Olido who came to reinforce. This made him feel confident, who was already scared. Unexpectedly, the invincible Jurchens were just like this. Before he could wait for the reply from other reinforcements, he came to Baimabo rashly.
Standing at the ferry of Baimabo, the heroic spirit of Urido's undisguisedness made the surrounding generals more confident in the reinforcement of Huanglong Mansion. They had just been garrisoning the troops to stutter, and a team of people galloped from the way they arrived. One of them held a giant axe in his hand, with red eyebrows in his eyes, wide arms and round waists. The majestic momentum had already scared the Liao soldiers in front of him and shouted: "The Jurchens are here, and the Jurchens are here."
For the Liao soldiers who were scared and fled in a hurry, Olido made a blow to the man and scolded the officers and soldiers who were about to escape: "Whenever there is a runaway person, the person will end up with the same fate."
Only then did the Liao soldiers of more than 10,000 people beheaded, everyone raised their weapons and went up like a flood that opened the gate. The man danced with a giant axe like a whirlwind, and instantly killed several Liao soldiers who were facing each other. Before Orido could react, the horse was already carrying the man like Shura War God and killed in.
Olido began to stir up trouble. If the news was reliable, this person would be the brave Wanyan Loushi. He didn't expect that it would fall into my hands today, so he quickly waved his hand and asked other officers to drop all the archers over and must shoot this person to death.
"Swoosh swish swish swish" arrows devoured the war horse like desert ants. The man seemed to be hit by an arrow on his arm and shoulders, but the man just stroked the horse with his hands and rushed into the place where the archer stood like a beast. The people who had no time to withdraw and were killed like lambs, and the wailing sounds came one after another. There was no need to doubt that this person was the number one warrior of the Jurchens who were the bravest in the entire army--Wanyan Loushi.
After Wanyan Loushi was covered in blood and his body gradually became dull, the dragon spirit and tiger fiercely held the steel knife in his hand and went up. The moment the sword and axe touched each other, Oliduo took out a sharp knife from his arms with great confidence and stabbed directly into Wanyan Loushi's lower abdomen.
"Despicable." Wanyan Loushi let out a shocking roar, and his body turned back sharply, and his body ejected. Before Oliduo could understand why Wanyan Loushi had abandoned the axe, Wanyan Loushi, who was behind him, pulled out the arrow on his shoulder, and with great anger, directly inserted the arrow into Oliduo's chest and neck. The Liao soldiers next to him had no time to rescue him and died immediately. Looking at Wanyan Loushi who was bleeding and powerful without anger, everyone was so scared that they dared not enter.
Yinkeshu, Wanyan Olugu and other troops rushed from all directions, looked at Wanyan Loushi, who was still fighting like a troll god. They were already crying like rain. Everyone waved the weapons in their hands and pushed their anger into the enemy's chest. In this battle, there was no effort to kill these ten thousand Liao soldiers completely without leaving a single living mouth.
This is the "encirclement point and siege" plan proposed by Wanyan Loushi. During this period, Loushi ordered elite soldiers to refuse to guard the important roads, and sent several teams of light cavalry to patrol the castle within a thousand miles southeast, set up several ambushes, forming an encirclement circle that lured reinforcements into important places. This style of fighting style of the Yue Jurchen military strategists in the conventional military use mode, and Loushi was the first person to propose and implement this style of fighting style. This style of fighting style reflects the comprehensive thinking of Jurchen military strategists on strategy and tactics, and is an important milestone for the Jinchu military group to go from daring to great wisdom. Within months of his besieging Huanglong Mansion, the Liao reinforcements were either annihilated or defeated, laying a solid foundation for laying the Huanglong Mansion.
In early August, a month after the Battle of "Baimapo", Aguda gave an order, after preparing the siege equipment, he launched the final general attack on Huanglong Mansion. For a moment, arrow rain and stone rain poured into the city wall of Huanglong Mansion. Yelu Ning used the city's powerful weapons to fight back heavily against the Jurchens who were sieging the city. For a moment, the world was filled with sorrow and miserable colors. The battle continued from early morning to dusk, and from dusk to early morning, which lasted for more than a month, just like the battle in the former Tin City.
In September, Wanyan Loushi, who had not recovered from his injury, led his son to attack the southeast of Huanglong Mansion. Feeling the whistling southeast wind, it was him who came up with another trick.
The Jurchen soldiers used a ladder to build several walls of the city wall. Wanyan Loushi ordered his son Wanyan Huo Nu to lead several heroes to carry hay to the city. Before climbing the city tower, they lit firewood and threw grass into the wooden building in the city to set fire. They also ordered those who were good at shooting to live in the southeast of the city and fire arrows to the Liao army at the top of the city to cover the heroes such as the Living Girl to climb into the city. After climbing the city wall, they took advantage of the fire to go straight to the city gates. They were extremely brave and defeated the Liao army's eight ooo soldiers. Loushi led his army into the city to command the battle in the flames and smoke, and even his boots were burned.
This arduous battle that lasted for a month was broken by Wanyan Loushi using fire attacks. The Jin army continued to attack, and Yelu Ning fled in the chaos with the remaining Liao army. Majestic and tragic battle pictures emerged into the eyes of Aguda, who was commanding in the distance. He said with deep emotion: "The battle in Huanglong Mansion is so difficult! If Wanyan Loushi's strategy is not used, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
On the second day after the capture of Huanglong Mansion, Aguda held a victory ceremony. He praised Lou Shi's military achievements in this battle, rewarded 10 horses and 3 slaves in public, and also gave "iron coupons" a alchemy book. After this alchemy book, Wanyan Lou Shi's death penalty was replaced by flogging, and the other charges would be forgiven by Aguda, which shows how much Aguda cherished this enemy of ten thousand people.
Wanyan Loushi recommended himself to Aguda and said, "Your Majesty, Huanglong Mansion is a large metropolis of the Liao Dynasty. This place is a place that military strategists must fight for. This place is unstable, and neighboring prefectures and counties will incite each other. I want to use the troops I lead to garrison here as a shield for the country. I wonder what you mean?"
Aguda was hesitating to protect the city's candidates. When he saw Lou Shi volunteering to recommend himself, he was overjoyed. He said to Wanyan Lou Shi with a spring breeze: "What you ask is exactly what I am concerned about. You can merge all the strategies here and put them under your jurisdiction. To guard Huanglong, do not let go of my high expectations with carelessness!"
Wanyan Loushi knelt down and accepted the order, becoming the first Wanhu Marquis of the Jin Dynasty.
The battle of Huanglong Mansion fully demonstrated the courage and wisdom of Wanyan Loushi. There were almost only a few people who were comparable to him in the world. Yue Fei was one of them. Unfortunately, it was still underage. Perhaps only Wu Yonglin, who grew up later, had the ability to fight. As for the ending of the two's competition, and how exciting it was, only those who survived can witness it.
