Chapter 409 Integrating Power
Marching and fighting are all about fighting wits and courage.
The reason why Guo Hao did not attack Chenzhou was that he guessed that the Liao army was in his heart, which made them wince and be afraid of the rat.
Han Derang's reinforcements were on the north bank of the Liao River and the Song army was on the south bank of the Liao River. This was the lower reaches of the Liao River. The river water was wide and turbulent, so it was impossible to force cross the river.
Shenzhou is located on the Great Liao River. Guo Hao has warships to directly attack the city. Most of the Liao army are cavalry. Even if there are some warships, they are incomparable to the Song army.
Guo Hao sat in the carriage and followed the army. Han Dejun could not find a chance to cross the river, so he simply stopped and continued to confront each other.
The Liao army had two solutions for the current plan. One was to build a floating bridge, but it was impossible to implement it under the enemy's nose.
The second is to find warships to cross the river, but the Liao Dynasty's navy was not developed and could not find so many ships for a while. Even if there were many fishing boats on both sides of the Liao River, fighting with the Song army's warships was tantamount to hitting stones with eggs.
Both methods won't work. It's even more impossible to find a bridge to pass through. The river surface is hundreds of meters long, and humans do not have this technology yet.
So Guo Hao perfectly blocked the Liao army with a natural danger. If the Liao army insisted on taking a detour, he would not mind taking Shenzhou by the way.
In front of it is Wanyan Ji's tribe. Once the two sides meet, Guo Hao's troops will double. Unless the Liao Kingdom increases its troops, it will be a death sentence.
The Song and Liao dynasties were in stalemate, and Wanyan Ji and Wang Wei returned to the tribe with five thousand soldiers and discussed how to conquer the tribes.
At this time, there were more than 10,000 households in Huiba tribe and more than 5,000 young warriors, and a total of 10,000 troops were built.
The Huiba tribe is located near Tongzhou, and to the east is Changbai Mountain. In addition to the Huiba tribe, there are some tribes, among which the former Jurchen king had the strongest tribe, with more than 10,000 households.
The second is Wanyan Ji’s father-in-law’s tribe, and the Huilan tribe also has 10,000 households. The first thing the two of them had to convince was the Huilan tribe.
Wanyan Ji and Bilan had just gotten married, but they were causing such a big deal at this time, and Wanyan Ji felt a little disgusted.
But Wang Wei brought five thousand Song troops to the market, and many Jurchens saw it. Even if he wanted to explain, it was impossible.
Huilan tribe, the leader in the dome.
"Wanyan Ji, who is he? Why did you bring him here!"
"Ama, he is my master and a general of the Song Dynasty. This time the Song army came to Liaodong, and it was actually here to help us."
"Help us? We lived well here, but the Song army came and asked us to rebel. This is not to help us, it is clearly to kill us!"
At this time, the Huiba tribe lived with the Khitan Han people, so although it looked powerful, it was not all Jurchens.
Even Wanyan Ji's own tribe had the descendants of Khitans brought by Aburi back then. Moreover, although there were many people in the tribe, there were not many young people who could participate in the battle.
Wanyan Ji felt a secretly complaining when he saw his father-in-law's expression. In fact, he didn't want to rebel, but Guo Hao forced him, and he had no choice.
Wang Wei was a little embarrassed inside, so he went out for the time being, leaving some space for the two of them to speak, and also alert in advance to prevent accidents.
"Ama, as far as the boy knows, the Song army has taken over Liaoyang Prefecture and is now confronting Han Derang in Shenzhou.
Emperor Song came to Liaodong this time with the determination to win. Once the Liao army was defeated, the Liao court would not care about our lives or death. We will be the one who was unlucky at that time!"
Wanyan Ji didn't understand Guo Hao, but the war was not too gentle. Tongzhou was the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom, and Guo Hao did not intend to take too risky, but to the north it was the territory of the Jurchens, and the Liao Kingdom would not be too nervous.
"Liaodong is just a bitter and cold place, the Jurchens are just tribes that make a living by fishing and hunting. The enemy of Song is the Liao Kingdom. Why are they trying to make things difficult for us!"
At this time, the Jurchens were not strong enough, and Shi Dun didn't think he was too powerful. If he had let him know that there was a hero in the Jurchens in the future, who won by 3,000 and even won, he might have been a little confident.
Shi Dun thought so, Wanyan Ji was actually similar, but Guo Hao told him by name that this time he came for the Jurchens, which made Wanyan Ji speechless.
"Ama, we are also a Ma Shang ethnic group. How can we not compare to the Khitan? We have lived here over the years and have been plundered and harassed by the Khitans.
It doesn’t matter if we are leaders. At most, we offer some horses, ginseng, beeswax, Haidongqing, etc., but what about our tribe members?
How many of them were captured by the Khitans and slaves, how many of them did not regard us as human beings, and in their eyes we were even worse than cattle and sheep!”
What Wanyan Ji said may be a bit exaggerated. At this time, the conflict between the two tribes was not that intense, but there were definitely conflicts.
Otherwise, the two tribes get along well, just like a family, and finally gradually merge, and there would be no Aguda to establish the Jin Kingdom.
"Ji'er, I know you don't like the Khitan because your father was killed by the Khitans, but your mother is also a Khitan. Why do you insist on opposing the Khitan?"
Why, Wanyan Ji also wanted to know why, not only did he want to rebel, but his mother also wanted to rebel. He was forced to do so, and Abuli didn't see Guo Hao clearly.
"Ama, it's not that I want to rebel, but that I have to rebel. Emperor Song tricked me into Liaoyang Prefecture. Now many people know that I have a contribution to the loss of Tokyo."
Wanyan Ji smiled bitterly, Shi Dun was shocked when he heard this. He had also heard that Guo Hao had a lot of tricks and extraordinary strategy. Unexpectedly, he had just arrived in Liaodong and targeted the Jurchens.
"So you were forced to do this? Then you can explain to the court, I will come forward to prove it for you, I believe the court will not..."
"Explanation?" Wanyan Ji interrupted Shi Dun and said with disdain: "Do you think the Liao court will let us go?"
Ama, don’t forget my mother’s identity. She is a princess of the Khitan, but she is in the tribe at this time. You may have heard of what my mother did when she was young. Do you think the court will still believe us!"
"What? Isn't Aburi in Shangjing? How did she come back!"
Wanyan Ji shook his head and said nothing. Shi Dun was completely stupid. When things came to this point, there was no room for recovery.
For the current plan, either agree with what Wanyan Ji said and unite the Song army to fight against the Khitan.
Or it's...
Shi Dun looked up at Wanyan Ji, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. Although he was his son-in-law, it was not that important compared to his wealth and life.
"Come here!"
Shi Dun suddenly shouted loudly and wanted to call someone in, but after waiting for a long time, no one was there. Shi Dun realized something was wrong.
At this moment, Wang Wei walked in from outside and bowed to Wanyan Ji and said, "Young master, the Bilan tribe has been controlled by us. What did the leader of Shidun want to do just now? He couldn't just want to kill us!"
Shi Dun's face changed completely, and Wanyan Ji asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Mr. Wang, what have you done? What happened outside?"
Wang Wei glanced at Shi Dun and said, "Young Master, if my subordinates guessed correctly, the leader of Shi Dun should have known about the young master's situation beforehand, so he had someone ambush outside in advance, capture the young master at the critical moment, and atone for the Liao court."
Wanyan Ji looked at Shi Dun disbelief. He didn't believe that his father-in-law would treat him like this. After all, he just married Bilan, so wouldn't he consider his daughter?
Shi Dun didn't expect that this inconspicuous Han man around Wanyan Ji was so powerful that he actually saw through his deployment and made all his plans go to nothing.
"Ama, why do you do this? If you don't want to participate, I won't make things difficult for Bilan's sake. Even if something happens, I will protect you!
But why do you want to harm me? Bilan and I just got married. Are you not afraid that she will be sad!"
Shidun didn't speak when he heard this. In fact, he didn't care about a son-in-law. The Jurchens were not Han people and did not pay attention to the end of one's life. They lived hard for hundreds of years, so they put childbirth first.
So if Wanyan Ji died, he could find another man for his daughter. If he hadn't only had this daughter, he wouldn't have considered Bilan's life or death.
I thought that his daughter would be able to live a good life after marrying the Jurchen King, but I didn't expect that Wanyan Ji would not let him worry and would directly rebel!
Wanyan Ji saw that Shi Dun didn't say anything and wanted to ask something. At this time, Wang Wei grabbed him and whispered a few words in his ear.
"Mr. Wang, this is not..."
"Young Master, you must understand your current situation and you have no choice. At the same time, you must also know that the Lord will not harm you.
