Xianxia Version of Water Margin

Chapter 319 Brother, Ascend the Throne

After more than half a month of fighting between the Liangshan Army and the Jin Army, the two sides have been fighting a seesaw war, neither of them can do anything to the other, and neither of them has gained a clear advantage.

On this day, the Jin Army set up dozens of gun mounts in front of the Liangshan Army and kept throwing stones at the Liangshan Army's position.

Cao Zheng and Wu Song also commanded the Liangshan Army to throw stones in return, and fiercely shot the charging Jin soldiers with the Shenbi bow.

Arrows rained down from both sides, and stone cannons intersected.

Because the Liangshan Army had previously laid a large number of "deer horns" with branches in front of the formation in the dark, and the strong bows and crossbows continued to shoot, the Jin Army's charge was very difficult.

After three consecutive battles, the Jin Army cleared the "deer horns" with heavy casualties and stopped attacking.

When the Jin Army withdrew from the battle, Liu Hui Niang ordered Lin Chong and Tang Bin to lead troops to cover the attack, creating a small climax that ended the battle.

Fighting is not only a contest of military strength, but also a contest of logistics and national strength.

Behind the Liangshan Army are the seven states of Yan, Hebei, and Pingluanying. If one Liangshan soldier dies, two, three, or five can be replaced. Food and supplies are inexhaustible. Moreover, the Liangshan Army will undoubtedly get strong support from the Liao people in the Yanyun area to fight against the Jin Army. Jiang Hongfei recruited 100,000 garrison troops to replace the sacrificed Liangshan Army soldiers, of which only 30,000 were recruited from Hebei and Shandong, and the rest were all the original Liao people from Yanyun and Pingluanying.

Let's talk about the Jin Army.

The Jin Army's food and supplies were all looted in Yundi, and even the civilians were forcibly conscripted in Yundi.

Therefore, the people in Yundi hated the Jin people to the bone, and few people in Yundi were willing to help the Jin Army, let alone join the Jin Army.

Not only that, the people in Yundi also spontaneously organized themselves to harass or even attack small groups of Jin troops.

Some people in Yundi would rather burn the food than let the Jin people take it away.

A large number of people from Yundi took their horses, livestock and food and hid in the mountains.

In short, it was becoming increasingly difficult for the Jin people to replenish their food and supplies, and because there were not many people to replenish them, the Jin army was getting fewer and fewer.

Moreover, whenever the Jin people made any movement, the people from Yundi would risk their lives to cross Taihang Mountain to inform the Liangshan army.

Wanyan Aguda, who noticed this situation, became more and more anxious. He knew that this battle could not be dragged on any longer, otherwise they would surely lose.

So, the Jin army launched a large-scale group attack on the Liangshan army's position with tens of thousands of troops in turn.

The Jin army first attacked the left wing of the Liangshan army's position, that is, Wulongzhai. They used caves as cover to move to the bottom of the city, set up ladders and swarmed over the city.

"Cave" is also called "cave house". It is made of wood to form a vaulted support, covered with cowhide, and looks like a cave or room. It has many defensive prohibitions and can defend against bows and arrows and ordinary artillery stones.

The Liangshan soldiers used battering poles to push down the ladders, and threw huge rocks from the city walls to destroy the caves.

The Jin army pushed over a giant battle tower.

The battle tower was covered with cowhide and had many defensive restrictions. There was a climbing frame inside, and its height was almost the same as the Liangshan army's city walls. The Jin army pushed the battle tower against the city wall and jumped directly from the top of the battle tower to the Liangshan army's city walls.

Yan Xiaoguang, who was stationed at the Wulong position, still used the old method of the Liangshan army to deal with it, that is, sending Wang Tianba to lead the swordsmen to open the door and go out of the city, using long spears and broadswords to kill the Jin army and burn the battle tower.

Wanyan Xie also saw that the attack on the left wing was difficult to succeed, so he ordered Wanyan Yinshu to lead 20,000 Jin soldiers in full armor to attack the two flanks of the Liangshan army's position.

The Jin soldiers wore two layers of armor and climbed the city walls regardless of life and death under the arrows and stones.

Liu Guang ran back and forth on the city walls, covering the left and protecting the right, and commanding the army to fight to the death.

Cao Zheng was quick-witted and moved the crossbows, arranged them in a row, and targeted and eliminated these very slow-moving Jin troops.

In short, the Liangshan Army and the Jin Army racked their brains to defeat each other, and it can be said that they had calculated everything.

As night fell, the Jin Army stopped attacking.

Wanyan Salihe stopped his horse and stared at the corpses of the Jin Army scattered in front of the Liangshan Army and the broken walls of the Liangshan Army that were hit by artillery stones. He seemed to have discovered the defensive weakness of the Liangshan Army's position and shouted excitedly: "I got it!"

The next day, the Jin Army, commanded by Wanyan Salihe, concentrated its forces to attack the "Ten Thousand Enemy Fort" of the Liangshan Army.

This fort was centered on an enemy tower, guarding the northwest corner of the Liangshan Army's position, and the defending general was Jie Zhen.

The Jin Army approached the enemy tower. The Liangshan Army's bows and crossbows were very strong, and the arrows were like locusts. The Jin Army was constantly shot and fell down, and the corpses were piled up layer after layer, but the Jin Army continued to attack and charged on the corpses.

The enemy tower of the Liangshan Army was indeed not very solid. At noon, the enemy tower seemed to be overwhelmed and began to tilt. Xie Zhen hurriedly ordered the soldiers to tie a long rope with silk to straighten the enemy tower.

The Jin army used fire attack again. The pillars of the tower were hit by rockets and began to catch fire. Wu Song, who came to reinforce, cleverly put out the fire with water and wine. Soon, Xie Zhen and Xie Bao were both seriously injured and carried down the enemy tower, and Wu Song took over Xie Zhen's position.

In order to suppress the shooting power of the Liangshan Army's bows and crossbows, the Jin Army arranged two hundred archers in Dongling to shoot at the Liangshan Army.

The Liangshan Army fought back. In order to deal with the archers of the Jin Army in Dongling, Tang Bin and Hua Rong personally led the five hundred archers of the Ma Sanjun and Ma Wujun to abandon their horses and go to the city to engage in fierce shooting with the Jin Army in Dongling.

At dusk, Liu Hui Niang seized the opportunity when the Jin army withdrew from the battle and took advantage of the chaos when the Jin army retreated. She dispatched Shi Jin, Yang Zhi, Luan Tingyu, Suo Chao, Sun Li, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming and other generals, holding purple and white flags, to attack the exhausted Jin army from both sides.

At night, the Liangshan army launched a night attack with Lin Chong, Xu Ning and Mi Xian.

That night, the Jin army was too tired from fighting during the day and neglected to take precautions. As a result, fires broke out on all sides and drums were beating, which frightened the Jin army.

A group of Liangshan soldiers broke into the Jin army camp and fought hand-to-hand with the Jin army who were in a state of panic.

Seeing that Lin Chong and his men had successfully attacked at night, Liu Hui Niang immediately sent reinforcements to reinforce.

In this battle, the Liangshan army not only captured the Jin army's offensive positions, but also seized many plaques, mourning spears, saddle horses, and flags, forcing the Jin army to retreat several miles.

The Jin army suffered heavy casualties and had little food left after being beaten by the Liangshan army. On the other hand, the Liangshan army had more and more casualties.

There were also careful Jin army generals who discovered that the Semites, or Liao people, began to appear in the Liangshan army.

The Jin people were not fools. How could they not understand that the Liangshan Army had been recognized by the Liao people, forming a closed loop of loss and repair, and they could no longer defeat the Liangshan Army.

In addition, the offensive deployment of the Jin army was also disrupted by the Liangshan Army, and the front-line offensive positions were lost, and they were unable to attack the Liangshan Army again.

On this day, the people of Youyundi passed through the positions in the dark and reported to the Liangshan Army that the Jin army began to retreat.

Zhu Wu sent people to scout and determined that although the Jin army retreated several miles, there was still no sign of retreat. It should be that they were hurt and were preparing to rest or waiting for reinforcements.

Based on this new trend of the Jin army, Liu Huiniang judged that the Jin army was already at the end of its strength and wanted to take the initiative to attack and completely defeat the Jin army.

But Zhu Wu disagreed - Zhu Wu felt that as long as he did not attack, the Liangshan Army would win; if he attacked, he might be defeated by the Jin army.

In this matter, Liu Huiniang and Zhu Wu's claims were reasonable, and it is not possible to arbitrarily say who is right and who is wrong.

This put Jiang Hongfei's decision-making ability to the test.

Jiang Hongfei thought about it and decided to trust Liu Huiniang's judgment, so he decisively ordered: "Attack!"

At night, the death squad of the Liangshan Army first sneaked into the Jin Army camp and set fire behind the camp.

Seeing the fire, Gao Liang personally beat the drum to cheer, and the Liangshan Army attacked on all fronts.

In an instant, many Jin camps were broken by the Liangshan Army, even Wanyan Aguda's central army camp was no exception.

The Jin camp was in chaos, and the Jin soldiers fled and lost their combat effectiveness.

Li Kui's army broke through Wanyan Wushu's Jin camp, beheaded more than 3,000 people, and seized a large amount of military supplies. Xiang Chong and Li Gun also killed Wanyan Wushu's family.

Later, Wanyan Wushu led his troops back to rescue his wife and daughter, but was shot away by Hua Rong with nine consecutive arrows.

Wanyan Aguda saw that the situation was hopeless, so he had to order the camp to be burned and escape at night.

The Liangshan army then attacked and pursued the Jin army non-stop.

The Liangshan army had only one goal at this moment: not to give the Jin army a chance to breathe, but to pursue and defeat them completely and even destroy them!

The Jin army was killed by the Liangshan army and fled desperately towards Dushikou, trying to escape into the grassland.

Mrs. Jia, Xu Qingniang, and Wang Gongren, who received the notice from Ma Ling, led Du Fu, Lu Junyi, Sun An, Shi Wengong and Wang Jin to go out of Juyongguan and ambush on the road that the Jin army must pass.

Seeing the Jin army fleeing, Mrs. Jia gave an order and ambushed troops everywhere.

The Jin army had no intention of fighting and just tried their best to escape.

In this battle, the Liangshan army beheaded 10,000 people and captured more than 5,000 people alive.

Madam Jia had no intention of cleaning up the battlefield, so she left the Shengjie Army to guard the captives, stepped on the spoils of victory scattered all over the ground, retreated to Juyongguan, and pursued the Jin army in parallel through Gubeikou.

After chasing them all the way outside the pass, Madam Jia and her men copied the front of the Jin army again.

However, Madam Jia's troops were not many, and facing the large groups of fleeing Jin troops, they were unable to "swallow" them all.

The Liangshan Army just tried their best to kill them, and chased them for more than a hundred miles, and only called off the troops when they reached Luanhe.

In addition, it should be emphasized that Wanyan Aguda's eldest son Wanyan Zongjun died in the chaos.

Also, the Jin army was defeated and fled, and they didn't care about anything, so many women of the Jin Kingdom were left on the road and captured by the Liangshan Army.

The most famous women, namely the daughters of the royal family and clan of the Jin Dynasty, were: Wanyan Aguda's wife Du Nuke, Wanyan Aguda's beauty Xiao (formerly Yelu Yanxi's daughter-in-law Princess Wu), Wanyan Zongjun's wife Pucha, Wanyan Zongfu's wife Pucha and Li Hongyuan, Wanyan Zongbing's wife Tushan, Wanyan Zongbing's daughters Wanyan Puci and Wanyan Xi Nian, and Wanyan Aguda's eldest daughter, the eldest princess of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Wulu.

Undoubtedly, this battle ended in a disastrous defeat for the Jin army.

Wanyan Aguda originally wanted to defeat Jiang Hongfei and teach his neighbor a profound lesson, and it would be best to force Jiang Hongfei to give them annual tribute to the Jin Dynasty like the Zhao Song Dynasty gave to the Liao Dynasty.

However, things did not go as planned. Wanyan Aguda not only failed to achieve his goal, but also suffered an unprecedented defeat. Countless Jin army soldiers who had experienced battles for a long time became lonely ghosts in the clouds and grasslands.

Wanyan Aguda escaped death by a hair’s breadth and fled to Yuanyang Luo with the defeated soldiers. He hastily explained the military affairs to Wanyan Xieye and others. Because of this disastrous defeat, he lost his beloved son and many of his beloved generals, and he fell ill and could not get up...

Let’s talk about Jiang Hongfei.

After achieving this unprecedented victory, Jiang Hongfei was overjoyed!!!

Not only Jiang Hongfei, but the people of Liangshan Marsh, including the Liao people in Yanyun area, all cheered!!!

After this battle, at least in the short term, the Yanyun area was completely safe, and the Jin people would definitely not dare to invade.

Jiang Hongfei then ordered: Lin Chong went to recover Guizhou, Shi Jin went to recover Ruzhou, Tang Bin went to recover Fengshengzhou, Yang Zhi went to recover Wuzhou, Zhu Wu went to recover Liaoxi Jing, Hua Rong went to recover Yingzhou, and Luan Tingyu went to recover Shuozhou and Sun Li went to recover Yuzhou, Suochao went to recover Guihuazhou, Guan Sheng went to recover Dushikou, Xu Ning went to recover Jiming Mountain and Duanyun Ridge, Suiying went to recover Yehu Ridge and Taoshan, Qin The Ming Dynasty went to recover Baidao Ban, and Zhang Qing went to recover Chenjiayu and Liufan Ridge...

In short, Jiang Hongfei will take advantage of the general trend of chasing away the Jin people and completely regain Yundi.

This matter is actually not difficult at all.

You know, Bei Liao, which originally controlled Yun Di, was destroyed by Jiang Hongfei. Even the ruler of Bei Liao, Xiao Puxian, became Jiang Hongfei's plaything. The Jin who temporarily controlled Yun Di was beaten away by Jiang Hongfei and abandoned his helmet. A. The earth was filled with treasures, and the women also left behind a lot of them.

Moreover, when the Jin people occupied Yundi, they burned, killed, looted, and did all kinds of bad things. The people of Yundi longed for others to save them, and they were eager to see through it.

The key is that the Jin people previously captured the high-ranking officials, wealthy families, and gentry in Yundi. There are no longer any rulers in Yundi.

Therefore, most of the states and counties where the Liangshan Army regained Yundi encountered no resistance, and many states and counties even came to beg the Liangshan Army to take them over.

For example, as soon as the Liangshan Army defeated the Jin Army, Han Zheng, the military governor of Shuozhou, Su Jing, the military governor of Yingzhou, and Chen Yi, a local tycoon in Yuzhou, sent people to Jinpo Pass to contact the people in Shuibo Liangshan to express their willingness. The soil returned to the water in Liangshan.

Jiang Hongfei was very happy after hearing the news, and immediately asked the officials to arrange officials to take over and manage the various prefectures and counties in Yundi. At the same time, he arranged for people to transport food to Yundi for disaster relief.

Jiang Hongfei was so happy, and Jiang Hongfei's people were even more excited!

Chai Jin, who was brought back by Jiang Hongfei in exchange for Wu Xie and several other envoys from the Jin Kingdom, said to Jiang Hongfei: "My brother has restored the sixteen states of Yanyun and the three more states of Pingluanying. He has rebuilt the Great Wall for us." It is a great joy for the Han people to make an immortal contribution, and a banquet should be held to celebrate it, and the emperor and his ministers should rejoice together!"

Normally, Jiang Hongfei doesn't like to hold such banquets, but it's different today. Just as Chai Jin said, Jiang Hongfei not only recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun for the Han people, but also recovered three more states: Ping, Luan, and Ying. , it’s really time to celebrate.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei accepted Chai Jin's proposal and ordered a banquet to be held in the Long Live Hall.

The monarchs and ministers gathered together, boasted and drank, and it was very lively.

Attending this banquet were not only senior officials and generals from Wang Lun on down in Shuibo Liangshan, but also officials from the former Liao Kingdom who surrendered to Shuibo Liangshan, headed by Li Chuwen.

How many fools are there who play politics?

Who doesn’t know that after this battle, Jiang Hongfei not only established a firm foothold in the Yanyunping area, but Jiang Hongfei also fully possesses the ability to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. And they are the founding heroes of the country and important ministers of the future new dynasty. In the vast world, they follow Jiang Hongfei , there’s a lot to be done!

Outside the hall, there are tall bamboos and cypress trees, and the trees are lush. Inside the hall, people are drinking wine and laughing. The vessels used for the banquet are extremely magnificent and dazzling. Fine wine and delicacies, Shao music and beautiful women, the fragrance is overflowing, just like heaven. When the king and his ministers gather together, they are enjoying themselves so harmoniously.

Jiang Hongfei was really happy today, so no matter who offered him a drink, he would always welcome them.

In the end, Jiang Hongfei inevitably drank too much.

Wang Lun and Li Chuwen helped Jiang Hongfei to a dormitory in the harem.

Jiang Hongfei asked in a daze: "Where is this?"

Wang Lun replied: "My elder brother had previously asked my younger brother to ask Cao Li to draw up a list and distribute the daughters of the royal family and clan members of the Jin Kingdom to the brothers. The younger brother thought it was inappropriate. The king is the king, and the ministers are ministers. Daughters of the royal family, clan members, etc. How can my daughter be allowed to be accessed by others? Only my brother is worthy of enjoying it, so I discussed it with my brothers and thought that it would be better for my brother to accept these daughters of the royal family and clan of the Jin Kingdom, so that he can fill his harem. In order to prevent those small foreign countries and small tribes from looking down upon our country in the future, here are all the daughters of the royal family and clan members of the Jin Kingdom, who will sleep with their brothers tonight. "

Li Chuwen added at the side: "There are also the daughters of the royal family and the clan of the Liao Kingdom. We cannot let them fall into the hands of others, so as not to breed the ambitions of those people. The old minister is already involved in this matter, and he will teach them these days." They all enter the palace."

Jiang Hongfei really drank too much. He didn't hear clearly what Wang Lun and Li Chuwen said, so he casually responded: "Oh, okay."

At this time, Wang Lun Tuqiong saw: "Brother, everything is ready now, how about you ascend the throne?"

No one knew whether Jiang Hongfei understood what Wang Lun said. Anyway, he casually responded: "Okay." Then he opened the door of the dormitory and staggered in...

Well, he is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. Let’s collect the country name and era name.

Let me start by throwing some light on things.

The first "beam" is the beam of water in Liangshan.

The second "Qi", the protagonist's current territory is in Qi, and the previous article has also laid some groundwork.

The use of the above two country titles also echoes the Han people's rules for establishing dynasties and can be regarded as orthodox.

Another idea I have is to use "yuan".

Walking other people's paths leaves others with nowhere to go. Moreover, the word "Yuan" is also very good, let's start from the beginning; it is also suitable to designate this year as the first year, and let Westerners change it according to ours in the future; following the history, "Yuan" is also reasonable.

Well, okay, let me choose, I lean towards meta.

Of course, Liang Heqi, I think that’s fine too.

If someone has a great idea, they can come up with a more suitable one.

One more thing, forget about "中" and "乾". I was criticized so much before that I don't want to use these two this time.
