The First Brave General of the Kingdom of Jin

Wen Da and others chased them along the way and rushed to the bank of Chaohe River. They were shocked when they saw Liao soldiers kneeling on the ground in dense numbers like cut wheat.

Li Jun held the man's head in his hands, stepped to the shore, and jumped up. The Liao soldiers lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.

When Wen Da saw his power, he couldn't help but admire him, and blurted out: "When one man arrives, a thousand troops surrender, the name Li Wudi is truly worthy of his name."

Li Jun was overjoyed, and Lao Cao appointed him as the head coach. What worried him the most was the dissatisfaction of veteran Wen Da.

After all, Li Jun was only a private businessman, but Wen Da was a veteran who really led the army. Although he had contributed to the capture of Jizhou, the city defense of Jizhou was empty. Wouldn't it be difficult for another person to capture him? So secretly, he felt uneasy.

A thumbs up, double the joy.

But Li Jun was able to keep his composure. He just smiled slightly and said sincerely: "If Brother Wen and his brothers hadn't been able to kill so well, how could I have succeeded by luck by taking advantage of the tiger's power?"

Wen Da saw that he was victorious but not arrogant. He became more and more impressed and sighed: "After all, it is Brother Wu who knows people. Brother Li really has the qualifications to be a famous general."

Sun Xin joked: "Brother Wen is right. I think Brother Li's tactics today are as good as those of famous generals from ancient times."

Li Jun waved his hands and said: "Brothers are getting more and more exaggerated. How dare you call yourself a 'famous general'? Although we have destroyed this group of Liao troops today, Tanzhou has not yet been conquered, but we must not be too proud."

Wen Da pointed to the surrender of troops all over the land and said: "With these people, Tanzhou can be easily conquered."

Li Jun smiled and said: "This is because the heroes have the same views, and the younger brother's intentions are also reflected in this group of surrendering soldiers. Abulai——"

Abu Lai was originally the guard general of Jizhou in the Liao Kingdom and a close relative of his younger brother King Yelu. Because he wanted to fight for Pan Qiaoyun, he killed his old master and surrendered his head to Li Jun.

If this kind of person betrayed the Lord, according to Li Jun's nature, he would have been laughed at and rewarded with a knife. However, hearing him cry out that Yelu Dezhong had defiled his wife made Li Jun feel sympathetic and comforted him: "The Lord is unkind.

, I will be unjust. Even if you betray the Lord, it is because he has deceived others too much." He was taken into the army and became a partial general.

In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, a disgraced Liao military general galloped to the north gate of Tanzhou, claiming that there was an urgent military situation involving hundreds of thousands of soldiers and that he wanted to see the general immediately.

When the garrison at the head of the city heard about it, they did not dare to neglect and hurriedly went to report it. Not long after, Dongxian's servant came in a hurry. Seeing the man's face full of panic, he opened the door and let him in. This man saw Dongxian's servant and claimed to be

It was Abu Lai, the general at Huangya Pass of the Great Wall, who was attacked by Jurchens at night. Although the pass wall was not lost, he suffered heavy casualties. He came to Tanzhou to ask for help.

The Dongxian Minister was shocked when he heard this. He had never heard that Zhongjing had been captured, so how could the Jurchens fight to the Great Wall? Fortunately, they were not irrational and knew how to ask the general for help.

Abulai said that the general and deputy generals had all been killed in battle, and they did not know where their seals were kept, so there was no document.

Seeing Dongxian's hesitation, he quickly revealed his identity, saying that he was once a confidant of Jizhou's imperial brother, the king. If Tanzhou refused to send troops, he would have to go to Jizhou to ask for help. The journey back and forth was long, and if the pass was lost, all Tanzhou

Responsibilities of state generals.

Dongxian Shilang heard that he asked his younger brother Abulai about everything in the palace, and it turned out that Abulai knew everything, so he did not become suspicious. He walked around in circles for a few times, thought about it, and finally did not dare to neglect, so he ordered Chu Mingyu to lead five thousand troops.

, led by Abulai, went to Huangya Pass for support.

At this point, there are only three thousand troops and horses left in Tanzhou, and all the powerful generals have been sent out.

At noon, the Liao army who went to Miyun County returned dejectedly. There were two ox carts in the team, and two people were lying on the carts. It looked like their armors were bitten, but Cao Mingji was just covered in blood, so he was fighting with the thieves.

, was killed and seriously injured. Fortunately, there were many soldiers and horses, and the enemy was forced back and rescued. Miyun never recovered.

Dongxian Shilang said bitterly: "Look at these two, they are arrogant. They said that ten thousand thieves committed suicide, but now they are so defeated."

Then he ordered Kaicheng to put them in, and he went down from the city tower and came to the car, saying: "The two generals are known to be brave, how come they were injured by a mere thieves?"

When "Jie'er Weikang", whose face was covered in blood, heard this, he opened his eyes and screamed: "I have worked so hard to fight, but I want to eat you and complain!"

He jumped up and chopped off the head of Dongxian Shilang with one blow. The defenders were stunned when they saw the generals fighting each other.

Then I saw the Liao army, less than half of whom squatted on the ground, but the rest shouted to kill at the same time. The defenders were not careful at first, and there were few people there. They were killed in an instant, and the city gate was occupied.

Already.

"Bie'er Wei Kang" wiped his face and said with a smile: "This is Li Wudi, the commander-in-chief of the Chrysanthemum Army! He is also known as the 'Sea Dragon'. Nowadays, the Liao Kingdom has no rules, so it is the opposite. If you know the opportunity, hurry up and

Surrender immediately, but if you hesitate, your whole family will be killed!"

After saying that, he ordered Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Sun Xin, and Gu Auntie to each lead their troops to seize the remaining city gates. He led an army to go to the state government office first and killed most of the officials, big and small, leaving only a few to scare them.

The Han officials who are in ruins are allowed to do whatever they want.

At the other end, Abulai led the way and drove to Huangya Pass with Chu Mingyu and others. After traveling for twenty miles, they arrived at a place——

There are towering peaks on the right hand side of this place, which are called Four Thousand Peaks, but on the left hand side is a green pool, which covers a vast area. It is said that a white dragon lurks in it. If there is a drought, it will fly out to spread rain. The famous one is called White Dragon.

Longtan, a road in the middle.

Abulai looked around, pointed at the White Dragon Pond and said, "General Chu, look at how beautiful this lake is. It has beautiful mountains and clear waters. Wouldn't it be a blessing if it could be used as a shady house?"

Chu Mingyu felt irritated after hearing this, but she also feared that he had a relationship with the royal family, so she did not dare to offend him easily. She smiled and said, "If you like it, go and ask your younger brother to give you a piece of land, and you will be buried here in the future."

.”

Abulai said happily: "If the king is willing to grant this place, I will give it to the general as a favor."

Chu Mingyu said angrily: "We are going to meet the Jurchens soon, how can we say such unlucky words?"

Before he finished speaking, the sound of horse hooves was heard, and a group of cavalry rushed over from the road over there, led by a general, holding a Fangtian painted halberd. It was Zhou Tong, the general of the Chrysanthemum Army, who shouted loudly: "Hey! Khitan dog,

Do you know the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Aguda, and his consort, King Gulugulutong?"

His voice was spoken in Jurchen dialect. Although Chu Mingyu didn't know what it meant, she knew it was Jurchen language. She turned pale with shock and said in a voiceless voice: "Ah, Jurchens can jump over the Great Wall!"

Abulai pointed at the general and exclaimed: "Ah, this is the most powerful Jurchen general, the Prince Consort, Gulu Gulutong! This man has a cruel temperament and will eat living people at every turn. I will do it when I am slow."

He also had his lunch!”

After shouting, he reined in the horse's head, knocked away the infantry, and ran away.

Although Chu Mingyu had never fought against the Jurchen soldiers, he was well-known for his cruelty towards them. Seeing Abulai run away, and hearing that Gulugulutong was actually the most powerful general and the prince-in-law, how could he dare to do so?

Fighting? He quickly turned his horse's head and fled for his life. Upon seeing this, the Liao soldiers collapsed on the spot.

Because his army was going to defend the city, they were all infantry. The terrain here was long and narrow, so how could they escape the cavalry?

Zhou Tong took the lead and rushed forward, slashing and sweeping with his long halberd. He killed these defeated soldiers who did not dare to turn back, just like an overlord in the world.

In desperation, the Liao soldiers jumped into the White Dragon Pond one after another. Zhou Tong ignored him and just went forward to kill Chu Mingyu. After a while, he chased Chu Mingyu and stabbed him with his halberd.

Chu Mingyu couldn't run fast when he was caught in the rout of troops. He heard the sound of horse hooves approaching behind his head. He turned his head and saw Zhou Tong stabbing him. He hurriedly dodged, knowing that he couldn't escape. He bit his molar teeth and used his lance to fight with him. He felt in his heart

But it was all bleak: This person is the most powerful Jurchen general, how can I be his opponent?

When Zhou Tong saw that the enemy general was fighting back, he said angrily: "Wow, if you don't cut off your own head and send it to me after seeing my face, you are committing a capital crime!"

This sentence was not spoken in Jurchen dialect. Chu Mingyu felt aggrieved when she heard it: "You are so unreasonable. If I cut off someone's head, wouldn't I just die? What kind of death penalty should I be afraid of?"

Zhou Tong listened and nodded: "That makes sense. My ability to speak Chinese is limited. So according to you, how should I ask this question?"

Chu Mingyu was overjoyed and thought to herself: I have heard for a long time that although the Jurchens are ferocious and good at fighting, they are actually just fishermen and hunters with a simple temperament. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true. After he had passed the Great Wall, he was the leader of the Liao Dynasty.

It's hard to survive. If I don't seek a chance to survive here, how long will it take?

While fighting with Zhou Tong, he put on a smile and said: "Prince Consort, you should ask me whether I will surrender. If I don't surrender, I will be dead."

This guy was so focused on survival that he didn't notice that he was evenly matched with the Jurchen's number one brave general at this moment!

Zhou Tong nodded and said: "Yes, yes, you are a very knowledgeable person! So whether you surrender or not, if you don't surrender, you will be dead."

Chu Mingyu said hurriedly: "I surrender, I surrender."

As he spoke, he quickly put away the gun in his hand.

Zhou Tongli ignored him and used a move to "overwhelm thousands of troops". The crescent moon flashed on his halberd and cut off Chu Mingyu's head. He screamed strangely: "You know that there is no way to escape, but you still dare to say that you will not surrender. Look,

There are many good men among the Liao army."

The defeated soldiers all around were dumbfounded and complained: "Your Majesty, our general said 'I surrender', not 'I won't surrender'."

Zhou Tong scratched his head and said in surprise: "So, did I hear it wrong? Ah, Chinese is really difficult to learn - so you thieves and cowards, don't you want to surrender?"

The defeated soldiers all shook their heads: "We - surrender! Prince Consort, please listen carefully, we - surrender, surrender!"

When Wen Da, who was holding the line, arrived, thousands of defeated soldiers were kneeling in the valley. Zhou Tong smiled brightly, hugged Wen Da and said, "Brother, you see, my little brother's skills may not be inferior to those of him, right?"

The two led the cavalry and escorted the surrendered troops back to Tanzhou. Li Jun was overjoyed. He sent people to Youzhou to find Lao Cao to report the news. At the same time, he closed the city gate tightly and used the same tactics he had used in Jizhou.

suffered.

At the same time, they sent Wenda, Zhou Tong, Sun Xin, Gu Dasao, and Abu Lai to select three thousand elite troops, pretending to be Liao troops, pretending to transport grain and grass supplies, and waiting for an opportunity to seize Huangya Pass.

After occupying this section of the Great Wall and bringing peace to Tanzhou, he could personally lead his army to the Great Wall and prepare to deal with the Jin soldiers.

On October 20, three letters arrived in Lao Cao's hands at the same time.

The first letter was naturally sent by Li Jun. He described in detail how he divided his troops, how he captured the city, and what his plans were going to be. When Lao Cao read it, his face was filled with joy and he told everyone: "'Hunjianglong' is well-deserved, and he is worthy of being my brother."

Entrusted with great things.”

Everyone circulated it and praised it endlessly. They began to believe in Li Jun's ability and admired Cao Cao's ability to read people.

The second letter came to Cao Cao's surprise - it turned out to be two generals, Wang Yuan and Yang Weizhong!

It turned out that these two generals were defeated by the Liao soldiers and had no way to return south. They simply became ruthless and wanted to attack Youzhou, which could be regarded as an act of encircling Wei and rescuing Zhao.

The two men led thousands of defeated troops and crossed the mountains and ridges. They encountered small groups of Liao troops fighting in Mozhou and Zhuozhou. When they reached Youzhou, there were only more than 2,000 men under their command. They were hungry and tired. They took advantage of the night to attack Fanyang County.
