55. Defeating Wan Yanliang

"Report to Marshal Xu!"

"The Jin soldiers have begun to build wooden bridges and are preparing to cross the river!"

Xu Xian also received the spies' report at this time.

"Yu Shangshu, what do you think?"

Xu Xian asked Yu Yunwen aside.

"Since you, Marshal, have already made preparations, of course you will act according to the plan!"

Yu Yunwen also responded immediately.

"good!"

"Inform all soldiers immediately that today's battle will be a life and death battle with the Tatars!"

"Everyone must be fully alert and obey my command!"

"In today's battle, we must show the Tatars' dignity, so that the Tatars will never dare to invade the Song Dynasty again!"

After Xu Xian finished speaking, he took all the soldiers and ran towards Caishi to cross the river in high spirits.

Emperor Wan Yanliang of the Jin Kingdom did not expect that the strategy he came up with to cross the river was actually successful this time, and thousands of leading troops also successfully crossed the river without suffering too many losses and arrived at

The territory of the Song Army on the other side was occupied.

And at this moment, the Song army clearly showed fear. After seeing the Jin soldiers successfully crossing the river, they dropped their weapons and fled.

"I didn't expect the Song Army to be so vulnerable!"

"I thought that Xu Xuan was really like a god in his military skills?"

"This is nothing more than that!"

"Command down!"

"All officers and men, please follow me across the river immediately, go straight to Jiankang, and capture Zhao Shen, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, alive!"

After Wan Yanliang received the report from the front, he was naturally surprised and immediately ordered to prepare to cross the river in person to fight.

But when Wan Yanliang happened to step on the wooden bridge and approached the opposite shore.

"Capture Wan Yanliang alive!"

"Capture the Tatar Emperor Wan Yanliang alive!"

Suddenly, a roar from the Song Army came from nowhere.

Wan Yanliang, who was already a little afraid of water, was suddenly frightened by the sound. He was so frightened that he almost lost his balance and fell into the river.

"Your Majesty!"

"It's dangerous at night, the Song army may be cheating!"

"Why don't you retreat for the time being and wait until dawn tomorrow? After our army has eliminated the nearby Song people, we can then cross the river!"

At this time, a general named Liu Mie next to him immediately persuaded Wan Yanliang.

"What?"

"You want me to go back?"

"Do you think of me as the greedy and fearful Emperor Zhao Gou of the Song Dynasty?"

"I tell you!"

"Today I will not destroy the Song people. I, Wan Yanliang, swear to my death that I will never return to Jiangbei again!"

Wan Yanliang certainly couldn't listen to anyone's advice at this moment.

As soon as Wan Yanliang finished speaking, suddenly there was a surge of waves in the water nearby.

Countless Song soldiers suddenly emerged from the water and launched a surprise attack on Wan Yanliang.

Wan Yanliang was caught off guard and suddenly fell into the river.

"The Tatar Emperor has been captured by us!"

"The Tatar Emperor has been captured!"

"The Tatar Emperor was drowned!"

Then I heard a burst of shouting from all around.

The Jin soldiers who were crossing the river saw that their emperor had fallen into the water, and they did not dare to rescue him, so they suddenly became panicked.

The Song army took advantage of this moment and suddenly rushed back to the ferry from nowhere, blocking the Jin soldiers who had crossed the river from those who had not yet crossed the river.

When the Jin soldiers who had crossed the river learned from the Song army that their emperor fell into the water and was captured, they no longer dared to attack Jiankang rashly. Instead, they quickly retreated in an attempt to rescue Emperor Wanyan Liang.

The soldiers who were still crossing the river saw the Emperor Wan Yanliang fall into the water. The Song army suddenly appeared from nowhere and blocked the ferry on the other side. After that, they had no intention of crossing the river again and fled towards the north bank.

Although Wan Yanliang was finally rescued from the water, he had already passed out.

After Xu Xian got the news, he immediately ordered the three armies to surround the Jin soldiers crossing the river and carry out a battle of encirclement and annihilation.

Xu Xian was naturally wearing a battle armor and took the lead in rushing forward, killing the golden soldiers.

After all, the Song army at this time totaled more than hundreds of thousands, and its momentum was high, while the Jin soldiers who were surrounded were only more than 30,000, and their morale was low.

Under this disparity in strength, in the end all 30,000 gold soldiers were wiped out, and Xu Xian personally beheaded nearly ten gold soldiers for the first time.

After all, although Xu Xian's force was mediocre, he was always protected by Li Xianzhong and Yue Lin, so he was not only able to kill the Tatars with his own hands, but he was not harmed at all.

Of course Xu Xian knew that this was a great opportunity to counterattack, so he led the Song army to cross the Yangtze River on the wooden bridge built by the Jin soldiers and began to recover the land north of the Yangtze River occupied by the Jin soldiers.

When Wan Yanliang regained consciousness, he realized that his army had been completely defeated.

But at this moment Wan Yanliang was still unwilling to accept defeat, so he wanted to order people to reorganize the army and continue to attack the Song Dynasty.

But at this moment Wan Yanliang received a piece of news from Yanjing.

That is to say, Yanjing has been lost, and Wanyan Ang and Zhang Hao, the prime minister of his own Kingdom of Jin, have surrendered to Wanyan Yong.

Moreover, Wanyan Yong even held a new succession ceremony in Yanjing, the central capital, and sent an edict, announcing once again that Wan Yan Liang's throne had been abolished, and he actually named Wan Yan Liang the 'Chonghun Hou'.

After Wanyan Liang got the news about him, he was furious. After tearing up Wanyan Yong's edict, he gradually gave up the idea of ​​​​conquering the Song Dynasty and prepared to unite his army and go north to fight against the rebellion.

However, due to the war of words in Zhenjiang, the quarrying battle, and the fierce pursuit of the Song army across the river, Wan Yanliang's 600,000 soldiers and horses fled and died, and there were not many left.

With this, Wan Yanliang finally understood that it was his fault that caused such a situation.

So Wanyan Liang hurriedly wrote a letter to the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, and ordered Wanyan Yuanyi to be released. Finally, he sent someone to notify Pu San Zhongyi and other generals to return to Bianliang immediately, planning to assemble the army there and go north to put down the rebellion.

go.

Xu Xian, who had almost arrived in Shouzhou, also received a letter from Crown Prince Zhao Shen to him.

"Commander!"

"what happened?"

"Did something happen?"

Yue Lin, who was standing by, saw that Xu Xian had something wrong with his expression after reading the letter, so he hurriedly asked.

"His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, wants me to stop my troops here temporarily. I don't want to participate in the internal fighting between the Jin people!"

Xu Xian's expression was naturally a little serious at this moment.

"What?"

"We are in a great situation now!"

"Why stop here?"

"If General Li, General Wang and other soldiers know this news, it will really chill their hearts!"

"Doesn't the Crown Prince not want to regain the Central Plains?"

After Yue Lin learned about the order given by the Crown Prince, he lost control of his emotions.

"Commander!"

"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has received an order!"

"But is there an order for us to regain all the lost territory in the Central Plains in one fell swoop?"

Suddenly, Li Xianzhong also came to Xu Xian's tent.

"General Lee!"

"Look at this!"

Xu Xian handed Zhao Shen's letter directly to Li Xianzhong.

"what?"

"This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity actually allows us to temporarily suspend our troops and wait for the Tatars to fight among themselves!"

"Isn't this giving up the initiative to the enemy?"

"If the Tatars calm down, I think it will not only be hopeless to regain the Central Plains, but our Song Dynasty will even have to humiliate the Tatars for peace again in the future!"

"Did His Highness the Crown Prince also believe other people's slander?"

After Li Xianzhong read Zhao Shen's letter, he was so angry that he threw the letter on the ground.
