It only took Chen Qing seven days to arrive at the Daxing Mansion camp. At this time, Yang Zaixing, other generals and an army of 200,000 had received a message from King Yong Feiying and assembled in Daxing Mansion.
In the big tent, Chen Qing pointed at Linhuang Mansion on the sand table with a wooden pole and said: "The Kingdom of Jin is preparing to move its capital to Linhuang Mansion. Wanyan Wushu's intention is also obvious. They want to control the grassland at the same time, and then integrate the power of the grassland and
We fought, but we couldn't give him that chance."
After a pause, he looked at the crowd and said: "But this is our chance. Everyone, the moment of revenge is coming. We have been waiting for this day for a long time. We will kill Linhuang Mansion, destroy the Jin Kingdom, and cause thousands of deaths.
Revenge of our compatriots!”
The generals' blood was boiling and they raised their arms together and shouted: "Destroy the Jin Kingdom!"
Two hundred thousand troops set off, carrying one hundred thousand camels loaded with food and supplies, and headed out of Juyongguan toward Linhuang Prefecture.
Every soldier rides a horse and travels lightly. This is their biggest advantage in obtaining the horse-raising land in Hexi. Every soldier, even the infantry, has his own horse. He can ride a horse instead of walking, which is faster and more economical.
physical strength.
A mighty army of 200,000 people appeared on the boundless grassland, with flags fluttering and covering the sky. The nearby tribes were so frightened that they fled westward.
At the same time, Liu Cui led an army of 80,000 people also set out from Liaodong and quickly headed towards Linhuang Mansion.
Linhuang City was surrounded by 100,000 Jurchen legions. After being burned by the Western Army with kerosene, the Jurchen Army attacked the city twice more, losing nearly 20,000 people, and then stopped the siege. Wanyan Wushu also led the way.
The army rushed to Linhuang City.
In order to contain the main force of the Jurchen army, Niu Gao used a little trick. He sent people out of the city at night and dragged back hundreds of dead horses on the battlefield, leaving the corpses of the enemy soldiers untouched.
This move made the enemy general Soli Yishi immediately realize that the Western Army was most likely running out of food, so they went out of the city to snatch horse corpses.
He immediately sent someone to report to Wanyan Wushu. Wanyan Wushu also believed that the opponent's food and grass were insufficient. The Western Army rushed thousands of miles to attack Linhuang Mansion, and they must not have brought much food. In addition, there was not much food in Linhuang City, so the Western Army
There is not much food left, how long can they hold on?
Wanyan Wushu immediately ordered the army to stop attacking the city. The army changed tactics and implemented the city besieging technique, trapping the Western Army in Linhuang City. For up to a month, the Western Army in the city would collapse without a fight.
At this time, the team of the Emperor of Jin, the nobles and the common people were staying thirty miles east of Linhuang Mansion.
They lived near the river and built tens of thousands of large tents. Although there was no city, they were still very spectacular. The tents could not be seen at a glance.
The Kingdom of Jin brought millions of cattle and sheep, hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, hundreds of thousands of carts, and an incalculable amount of wealth. After all, it was a dynasty, and all its national power and wealth were here.
.
But what the Jin Kingdom lacks the most now is population. They only have more than 200,000 people left, almost all of whom are old and weak, women and children. These old and weak women and children are also recruited to drive carts for them.
Women and the elderly drove the carts, but the advantage was that they did not need legs to walk and could put their children and belongings on the carts.
Of course, the population of the Kingdom of Jin is not just this small. Although most of them fled to the south and were moved away by the Western Army under the pretext of epidemic prevention, there are actually nearly 200,000 people in various places. However, these 200,000 people are too scattered and cannot be moved at all.
It was impossible to gather together, and the remaining population were common people who went to Beijing, and all of them followed the royal family.
Their sick family members were left to fend for themselves in Shangjing. The people were very sad. Thinking of their parents, brothers and sisters dying alone in Shangjing, everyone was heartbroken, but they had no choice but to stay in Shangjing, and so were they.
It's death.
Fortunately, Emperor Wanyan Dan of the Jin Kingdom allowed them to take their children, even sick ones, which gave the people a little comfort. But even so, many children died on the way in just half a month.
, thousands of children died on the road alone.
Among the tens of thousands of large tents, the largest one is the king's tent, surrounded by thousands of noble tents and warehouse tents. These special tents are surrounded by fences and separated from other ordinary people's tents.
In a small tent next to the king's tent, Queen Pei Manshi and Left Prime Minister Wanyan Xiyin were sitting alone together. Both of them were arranging their clothes. It was obvious that they had just done something unspeakable.
Wanyan Dan and his wife Pei Manshi had a completely political marriage. He disliked this wife very much, and they had no children. Pei Manshi stayed alone in the empty house all year round, but she was also an extremely strong woman who was keen on power. She
Of course, Wanyan Wushu could not be tolerated to seize power. Since the emperor refused to act and did not listen to her persuasion, she had no choice but to take action herself.
The target that Pei Manshi was looking for was the famous old pervert Wanyan Xiyin. The two hit it off immediately, and not only had an indescribable relationship, but also formed an anti-Liang alliance.
Liang was Liang Wang Wanyan Wushu, and Wanyan Xiyin was also extremely dissatisfied with Wanyan Wushu. The good man Dai Jin was tortured to the point of dying by him, and no one else would be able to tolerate it.
Moreover, Wanyan Xiyin also opposed moving the capital. He originally only agreed to go to Linhuang Mansion for a year and a half before returning to Beijing. However, halfway through, he discovered that the wording of Wanyan Wushu's order to supervise the country had changed.
The move of the capital really made him extremely angry.
Now Pei Manshi asked to join forces with him to deal with Wanyan Wushu. After hesitating for a long time, he agreed. With the skin of the emperor, many things would be easier to handle.
Wanyan Xiyin pondered for a moment and said: "It doesn't matter whether the emperor agrees or not, the key is that you have to hold the emperor's seal in your hands."
Pei Manshi said with a smile: "Don't worry, the emperor's seal is in my hand, and he doesn't care about it at all. During this period, he drinks all day long, and no one wants to pay attention to him!"
She put her arms around Wanyan Xiyin's neck and said, "When you seize power, you become the emperor, and I will continue to be your queen!"
Wanyan Xiyin laughed dryly, "We'll talk about this later!"
"Then tell me, which general have you recruited?"
Wanyan Xiyin pondered for a moment and said: "Han Chang knows, right?"
Pei Manshi nodded, "I remember that he was from Wanyanchang, but he was not purged?"
"He was originally Wanyan Wushu's subordinate. Wanyan Wushu didn't kill him even if he wanted to do it. He had 8,000 troops under his command, all of whom were Khitan and Han people. He was originally stationed in Longzhou, and there was no one in Longzhou.
Infected by the epidemic, Han Chang just rushed over to join us."
Pei Manshi was immediately dissatisfied and said: "Since there is no epidemic in Longzhou, why not go to Longzhou instead of going all the way to Linhuang Mansion?"
Wanyan Xiyin sighed, "This is his political purpose and the real reason why he wants to move the capital. He wants to abandon the land of Jinlongxing and move to the grassland. He wants to become the Great Khan of the grassland!"
"absurd!"
Pei Manshi said angrily: "Isn't he afraid that his ancestors will come to settle accounts with him?"
"He has an army in his hands, what a fright!"
Wanyan Xiyin cursed, stood up and said: "Hurry up and draft an edict to make Han Chang the King of Liao. What I promised him before is of no benefit, and Han Chang will not do things for me easily."
"Is Han Chang reliable?"
Wanyan Xiyin nodded, "He is very loyal to Wanyanchang and wants to avenge Wanyanchang. Wanyanwushu is so benevolent as a woman that if he lets Han Chang go, he will definitely be attacked by Han Chang!"
Pei Man went out and soon got back an edict with the emperor's seal, conferring Han Chang the title of King of Liao and Minister of War.
