Chapter 332 Guanzhong explains the Jurchen story

Another day later, in the defense envoy's house, Cao Cao summoned all his brothers to discuss the matter of going to the Kingdom of Jin.

When the brothers met, there was naturally a lot of excitement. Some who didn't know each other were introduced to each other. When they were full of wine and food, and everyone was lively enough, Cao Cao ordered the banquet to be withdrawn, and all the servants came to the meeting.

, they all stayed away and said something to everyone.

"Our trip across the sea is of great importance. Nowadays, few people in China know the authenticity of the Jurchen. Even the high officials in the court only regard her as a savage who is good at fighting. However, if you think about it carefully, the Liao Kingdom is such a big country and has a century-old foundation.

Will he be defeated easily and again by the barbarians? There must be heroes among the foreign races. We are going to see for ourselves what kind of people those who founded the country are!"

Everyone was excited when they heard his brilliant insights and generous words.

Cao Cao showed a smile and looked at Xu Guanzhong: "Originally, when I was waiting here, I had no choice but to darken my eyes and just wait and see. Fortunately, brothers Guanzhong and their fathers and ancestors have generations of sages who are accustomed to knowing the geography of the world. That is the Liao Dynasty.

Guanzhong also went there with Uncle Xu when he was young, and he is quite familiar with the local customs and people there. Today, I asked him to explain it to the brothers. He will first broaden our horizons, and then we can make a clear target when we go to the northern country."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this, especially those who were sure to go with Cao Cao. They all looked at Xu Guanzhong expectantly.

This section was originally discussed between Cao Cao and Xu Guanzhong. Naturally, Xu Guanzhong would not refuse. He stood up and put together his ancestral bird pictures on the wall and hung them up. He first pointed out the location of Dengzhou, and then pointed to somewhere in the upper right corner.

Speak slowly.

"Brothers, please see, this place is called Yingge Ridge. It is surrounded by water on three sides. It is the place where the Jurchens originated! His family has a very long heritage. During the reign of Emperor Zhou, he sent envoys to pay tribute. The Zhou Dynasty recorded him as a Sushen person.

During the Han Dynasty, they were also called the Yilou people. They hid in the mountains in the north, slashed and burned, hunted and fished, and produced fine red jade and mink skins, which were popular in Chang'an. Later, the Three Kingdoms were in chaos, and the Yilou people surrendered to Wei.

, when he arrived in the Jin Kingdom, he was called Wu Jiren."

Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "If it's not auspicious, it's unlucky. We all ask for good luck, but they have no taboos."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Customs are different a hundred miles away. He is thousands of miles apart, so the customs are naturally very different."

He also added a point at a certain point on the map: "In the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Emperor established Heishui County here and called it Heishui Mohe. Later, the Liao Kingdom occupied the north and called it Jurchen. It was also divided into raw and cooked, and mature Jurchen.

After being transformed by the king, most of them obeyed the orders of the Liao Kingdom, and those who gave birth to girls were spread in poverty. The Wanyan tribe of the royal family of the Jin Kingdom was one of the girls who gave birth to girls."

"It is said that there are many Jurchen tribes, each of which has its own affairs. Decades ago, the Wanyan tribe had a leader named Wanyan Wugunai.

He became the alliance and appointed himself the leader. In Jurchen language, he called him Dubo Jilie. It happened that the Liao people were about to use Jurchens to rule the Jurchens. Seeing that Wu Gu was a hero, they gave him the post of Jiedushi. After his death, his

Zi Kelibo took over his father's position. Brothers, Kelibo is not easy to get along with at this time. He fought in all directions under the banner of the Liao Dynasty's Jiedu Envoy and expanded the alliance to more than thirty tribes."

Cao Cao sighed: "We, the Taoist women, have been so prosperous. If it weren't for Guan Zhong's explanation, who would have known that his family has worked hard to manage it for three generations."

Xu Guanzhong smiled and said: "Brother, if we talk about it in detail, it is actually the fourth generation - after the death of Libo, the eldest son Wu Yasu succeeded the alliance leader. He defeated Goryeo in one battle and took over the Jurchen homeland. The tribe became more and more powerful.

, gradually became tabooed by the Liao Kingdom. There was a man named Wanyan Aguda, the second son of Kelibao and the brother of Wuyasu. He was especially a hero. When he was young, he assisted his father and brother in the battles.

, urged Brother Nai to be exempted from tax for three years, thus winning the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups."

When all the heroes heard this, they immediately applauded and said: "This is Aguda, it can touch the hearts of the people, it is a true hero."

Xu Guanzhong continued: "When Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, came to the throne, the Khitan nobles exploited the Jurchens more and more, producing ginseng, mink skins, famous horses, northern pearls, Junying, beeswax, linen, etc. produced by the Jurchen tribes.

, the tribute share was already extremely heavy, but the nobles often sent troops to plunder them, causing the people to live in dire straits. This was what the Liao people called 'beating the Jurchens', and the Jurchens all hated them with hatred."

Cao Cao said sternly: "If there is any disobedience from such a foreign tribe, all the powerful and powerful people should be slaughtered, and the remaining people should not allow them to live together in one place. It is better to integrate them into the own tribe and separate them. After a few decades, they will be

There is no such clan. If this strategy cannot be carried out, then we should pay equal attention to kindness and power, have moderate rewards and punishments, drive them as the vanguard, reward them generously in battle, and weaken their strength in secret. Otherwise, they will be arrogant and extort money.

If you wait, the hatred will be poisonous, which is not a good way to restrain the emperor."

Xu Guanzhong listened to it, tasted it carefully, his eyes became brighter, and he praised: "Brother's words are actually a strategy for the country."

Then he shook his head: "However, Emperor Tianzuo didn't know this truth. In the third year of Zhenghe in the Song Dynasty and the third year of Tianqing in the Liao Dynasty, Wanyan Wu Yasu died. After the death of his elder brother, Aguda took over the power. He took over the authority of his eldest brother.

They immediately launched an army against the Liao because the nobles of the Liao were extravagant and lustful. Therefore, in addition to the Jurchens, there were also many poor Han people, Khitan people, Bohai people, Shiwei people, Tieli people, and Wuji people who joined Aguda's command.

"

After hearing this, Lin Chong and others sneered: "The four words "extravagant and lust" are not limited to the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom. Aren't the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty the same breed?"

Song Jiang said: "The Liao Kingdom was founded on military bravery. In terms of military prowess, it is superior to that of the Song Dynasty! According to what Brother Xu said, the three generations of Wugunai, Kelibao, and Wuyasu can all be called

None of the heroes dared to rebel against the Liao Dynasty. It was Wanyan Aguda who rebelled just after he came to the throne. It can be seen that this guy's character and methods are truly stronger than his ancestors.

Father and brother are even more amazing!"

Xu Guanzhong said solemnly: "Brother Song's words are right to the point! If Aguda is indeed a man of great talent and strategy, it stands to reason that he raised the army in a hurry. However, this man is naturally good at fighting and has won the hearts of the people. He defeated the Liao soldiers in Ningjiang in a row.

Prefecture, out of Hedian, in less than two years, they drove the Liao Kingdom to the north, unified all the Jurchen tribes in the north, settled in Ningfu, established the Kingdom of Jin, called themselves the 'Great Sage Emperor', and took over the country under the title of the reign."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong slapped his thigh: "My brother made a mistake. He should have brought brother Li Gun here. He is nicknamed the 'Flying Great Sage', and he just happens to be comparable to the Great Sage Emperor's 'big bones'." Everyone.

Hearing this made me laugh.

Xu Guanzhong also smiled and said: "Brother Zhou Tong should not underestimate Aguda. When I was traveling with my father when I was young, I heard about this person's reputation. At that time, the Jurchens had not yet raised their troops, and envoys from the Liao Dynasty went there, and they happened to see Wanyan Aguda.

When he passed by with his bow on his back, the Liao envoy saw that he was extraordinary, so he pointed at the flying birds and ordered him to shoot at him. Agu fired three arrows and shot down three birds. The Liao envoy exclaimed that he was a 'strange man'."

Zhou Tong was dissatisfied when he heard it, curled his lips, pointed at Hua Rong and said: "That envoy has no experience. If he saw my brother Hua Rong's ability to shoot wild geese, wouldn't he be called a 'god man'?"

Hua Rong smiled lightly, looking quite convinced.

Xu Guanzhong said sternly: "Another time, Agu hit He (Yinhe) Shilie's tribe and was sitting there. There was a mountain of earth to the south. Everyone shot at it, but they couldn't reach it. Agu hit it with one arrow, and then measured it, which was more than three hundred and twenty

A few steps away, the famous Jurchen archer Chu Duhe also shot at it, which was a hundred steps behind him."

Zhou Tong suddenly opened his mouth in shock, and Hua Rong's expression changed slightly, and he said in surprise: "Three hundred and twenty steps... with such shooting power, he really can be called a strange man!"

We must know that soldiers in the Tang Dynasty were selected to be good at shooting at sixty paces, while in the Song Dynasty, at fifty paces, they were considered good at shooting. As for the shooting range, a hundred steps were considered good at shooting. From this comparison, we know that three hundred and twenty paces is a good shot.

How amazing.

Xu Guanzhong added: "The Jurchens were very poor at that time, and most of them didn't have iron bows or divine arm crossbows. The best they could do was use animal horns as bows and animal strings as arrows. In the battle of Ningjiang Prefecture, it was this guy who killed him with one arrow.

The leader of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu Xie Shi, was able to win the Jurchen victory."

Hua Rong nodded silently, fighting spirit gradually rising in his eyes.

Xu Guanzhong added: "Let's talk about the Battle of Hedian again. Xiao Sixian, the commander-in-chief of the Liao Dynasty, and Xiao Wuna, the deputy commander-in-chief, led an army of 100,000 to attack the Jurchens. Aguda had only 3,700 men under his command. On the day of the decisive battle, a strong wind blew up, and Aguda

He took advantage of the wind to shoot, and the arrows were all fired. He rushed into the formation in person and defeated the Liao army. He killed Jiedu in the formation and made Ta Buye wild."

Fan Ruiqi said: "It's such a coincidence that a strong wind is blowing up? Could it be that some of the Jurchens are also capable of making wind and rain? If so, we should have a good fight with him."

Cao Cao has always regarded himself as a heroic leader. When he heard this, he couldn't help but sigh: "This guy can win the hearts of the people, obey the generals, train troops to fight, and he is so brave, so he deserves the word hero!"

Sun Lidao: "Unexpectedly, Brother Xu is so knowledgeable. In fact, Sun has always been curious. This guy defeated 700,000 with 20,000, but he didn't know how to kill him?"

Xu Guanzhong's face became more solemn, and he said solemnly: "For this matter, I went to the Liao Kingdom to find out more about the generals who participated in the war, and then I got a few ideas. What do you think? But it was when the Jin Kingdom was first established, and Emperor Tianzuo was furious when he heard about it.

, an army of 700,000 soldiers came to attack, the Jin people could not help but tremble when they heard about it, and many people howled all night long..."

Sister-in-law Gu said: "I know that those savages are fearless and fearless."

Sun Xin listened intently, but was interrupted by the mother-in-law, who said angrily: "You are too talkative, don't talk too much, let's wait and see how Aguda will deal with it."

Sister-in-law Gu got angry and punched her husband on the back, causing Sun Xin to fall down. She glared at the mother-in-law, but she laughed and said, "How to deal with it? How about a punch to the head and a desperate attempt to survive?"

Sun Xin was about to retort, but Xu Guanzhong clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law is really a hero among women. What you said goes straight to A Guda's heart!"

Sister-in-law Gu laughed loudly, crossed her arms and looked at Zixiong. Everyone was curious and said, "Say it quickly."

Xu Guanzhong said slowly: "Aguda saw that the soldiers and the people were frightened, but he gathered them all in one place, brandished a knife in public, cut his own face, and cried to the sky: 'It started when you raised an army, as cruel as the Khitan, and wanted to establish a country on your own.

Today Zuo is here, what can I do? No one can fight without fighting to the death. Why don’t you kill my clan, and you will surrender and turn misfortunes into blessings. Brothers, are you listening to the meaning in his words? He clearly said that if we can’t fight to the death,

, it is bound to be difficult to win, but he deliberately said, it is better to kill my Wanyan clan and surrender."

"What a way to provoke generals!" Shi Qian shouted: "How can those talented people who have only a few days of good life be willing to be captured without mercy and be exploited to death by the Khitan again?"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "That's right! When everyone saw A Gu beating the emperor like this, they all roared, drew their swords and cut the ground, and vowed to fight to the death and not retreat!"

Ruan Xiaoer took out his knife and chopped it on the ground a few times. He looked at his brother Ruan Xiaoqi and said, "Isn't this something my brother likes to do? Could it be that you are a Jurchen?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said angrily: "You and I crawled out of the same mother's intestines. I am a Jurchen, are you a Han?"

Everyone punched him and knocked him down, pressed his mouth, and urged Xu Guanzhong to speak quickly.

Xu Guanzhong said: "At present, all the capable warriors of the Jin Kingdom came out, and they gained 20,000 soldiers. The two armies fought decisively at Hubu Dagang. At that time, the Liao soldiers were all over the mountains and fields. Aguda pointed to the position of the enemy's central army and shouted loudly: 'Tian Zuo is here.

If he kills him, he will win.' Then he led the whole army to attack the Liao Central Army. All the generals under his command fought with each other at the risk of death. The Jin soldiers were so excited that they all blocked a hundred with one, and they suddenly became invincible. Emperor Tian Zuo's hope was great

Fearing, the imperial commander withdrew first, and the Liao soldiers collapsed."

Everyone's hair stood on end when they heard this, and Cao Cao sighed: "I watched the war between Song and Liao. In the fourth year of the Taiping Rejuvenation, Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty personally conquered Youyun and fought against Brother Yelvxiu on the Gaoliang River. The imperial army at that time was ten times more brave than today. Originally,

The two sides were rivals, but Brother Yelvxiu's fighting style was exactly the same as that of Aguda. He used all the cavalry to attack the Huangluo umbrella cover. Brother Yelvxiu was wearing three wounds and kept shouting for a fierce battle. It was ridiculous that the Song Emperor was good at governance but not good at fighting. He was so frightened.

They fled in the face of battle, and the Song army was defeated. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, the Khitan repeated its past events, and the decline of its national destiny can be seen at a glance."

Lin Chong sighed with emotion: "My brother is right, but the national destiny of the Song Dynasty is probably not as good as that of the Khitan."

Cao Cao stood up, patted his chest, pointed at everyone present, and said in a deep voice: "The luck of the Zhao family is allowed to decline, but the luck of China must still be strong! Otherwise, how could the sky produce Wu Zhi? How could all the people be born?

Jun?"

His words really had the spirit of "I will take responsibility for the prosperity of the world." All the heroes felt their breaths stagnant. When they looked at Cao Cao, they felt that his short and stocky figure and every move he made were like a king.

He was full of energy. Immediately, a surge of pride arose in his chest. He wished he could put on his armor, mount his horse, and follow this man to the end of the world, only then could he have fun.

They all stood up, clasped their fists and shouted: "I am willing to conquer the four directions with my brother, and create a lasting foundation for our China!"
