Chapter 988 Turning Point ([-])
The red sun in the evening turned into stars all over the sky, and then turned into clouds rolling in the daytime.

The news of Zonghan's troops fleeing in a hurry after the victory at Wangyuan Bridge in the southwest had spread in various places in Jiangnan and the Central Plains one after another in April.

It can be called a war that determines the trend of the world, but now it has shown a trend that is not in line with most people's expectations. The combat strength and tenacity of the Huaxia Army has stunned many people's eyes.Some people were stunned, some were terrified, some were excited by such a victory, and some were wary of it.But no matter what attitude and mood you hold, as long as you are a person who is slightly qualified to dance on the stage of the world, no one can be indifferent or indifferent to it, but it is impossible to argue.

Even though they were thousands of miles apart, the two troops above Liangshan were excited, and the mountains and wild grasses came from all directions, even between the Huaxia Army led by Zhu Biao and Liu Chengzong and the Guangwu Army led by Wang Shanyue and Xue Changgong. The big victory caused two small-scale frictions and fights, which made people laugh and cry.

Wanyanchang, who was far away in Baoding, strengthened his defenses against the Central Plains because of the impending movement on Liangshan Mountain, and was wary of those people in Shandong who were encouraged by the situation in the Southwest and took risks to make something big.

Further afield, within the Jin Kingdom, large-scale influence is gradually brewing.In the cloud, after the first round of news came to the public, it was not made public, and it was only quietly circulated among some high-profile families in the Jin Kingdom.After learning of the defeat of the Western Route Army, some of the founding families of Dajin pulled out the Hannu from their home, killed a group of them, and then went to the yamen as a bachelor to pay the fine.

There is tragic news about the retreat of the West Route Army, and it will take more time for it to come back from the southwest, which is thousands of miles away. At that time, a huge wave will appear in the Jin Kingdom.

Jindi.

When the horse team crossed the rolling hills and turned towards the small basin on the side of the mountain, Lou Shuwan opened the curtain in the carriage in the middle, and saw the black smoke and embers faintly below.

The flames ravaged the village and the wheat fields, and the nearby army had come, saving what could be saved in the mess.The closer the horses got, the more clearly they could hear the cries in the wind.

"……brute."

She clenched her fists and cursed like that.

This is the scene in March.

If it wasn't for what happened this spring, Lou Shuwan might have been inspired by the information about the Southwest War.But at this moment, Jindi was troubled by the sudden attack, and he was in a daze for a while.

The winter snow melted in the second month of the lunar calendar, and the battle for Jin land, led by Lou Shuwan and Liao Yiren, started again.This time, the alien reinforcements that suddenly appeared on Liao Yiren's side took out two counties and towns on Lou Shuwan's side. It may be a prairie person who came all the way from Xixia.

This new group of alien mercenaries has agile fighting skills and a strong desire to fight and slaughter. They broke the city twice, pretending to be merchants and contacting the defenders in the city. After obtaining permission, they captured the city gate with a small number of elites and then launched Killing and burning.Judging from the opponent's battle to capture the city gate, it can be determined that this troop is indeed a combat elite that should not be underestimated this year.

The capture of the city in February had already aroused the vigilance of Lou Shuwan and Yu Yulin. By the end of February, the opponent's operations had been hindered. They attacked two small counties and towns successively by passing false news and other means. At the same time, they also launched more brutal attacks on the civilians in the area under the jurisdiction of the Tiger King.

The small horse teams and elite hunters with flexible combat power interspersed with the villages and towns here, attacking the villages at night, the most important thing is to burn down the houses and burn the wheat fields.In the past wars, even Liao Yiren would never dare to use such a fighting strategy, but in March, this side has encountered more than ten times of this kind of maddening attack.

Winter wheat is often planted in the eighth and ninth month of the lunar calendar one year earlier, and harvested in May of the following year. For Lou Shuwan, it is the most critical harvest for the revival of Jin.Liao Yiren is also a big local clan, fighting for life and death on the battlefield, but he always points to those who have defeated each other and can live a good life.

In February and March, Yu Yulin assembled his army and regained two towns. However, the areas around the army and near the plain were also harassed by the prairie cavalry.They attacked the weaker troops with superb salvo skills. One round of shooting, they turned around and ran away. After they opened up the distance, they fired another round. They only squeezed soft persimmons and never gnawed hard bones, causing Yu Yulin to suffer to a certain extent. troubled.

As a general who has led troops for many years, Yu Yulin and many others can see that the combat effectiveness of the grassland people is not weak, they are just accustomed to adopting such tactics.Perhaps because the survival of Jindi had nothing to do with them, Liao Yiren invited them over, and they kept stabbing them according to everyone's weakness.For them, this was a relatively simple and easy battle, but for Yulin, Lou Shuwan and others, there was only resentment.

The only thing that can comfort this side is that, due to the lack of help, Liao Yiren's forces on the frontal battlefield are completely no match for Yulin's attack.But the opponent is on the defensive. Even if everything goes well, it will take nearly half a year to defeat Liao Yiren and restore the entire Jin.But no one knows how many crazy things this group of prairie people will do in half a year, and it is difficult to fully confirm what will happen if these guys are determined to attack in Jindi.

In the friction and investigation after the contact between the two sides, the battle situation in the southwest was passed on one by one.Zhan Wuyi, who was in charge of the affairs here, reminded Lou Shuwan that although not much attention was paid to the situation in Xixia and other places after the Northwest was killed, Mr. Ning once brought people to Xixia before he came to Jin. I have investigated the movements of this group of prairie people.

The forces that will make Ning Yi secretly pay attention to are themselves a signal and a hint.Lou Shuwan also paid more attention to this. She asked Zhan Wu Ningyi's opinion on this group of people, and if there were any countermeasures or countermeasures, Zhan Wu was a little embarrassed.

"...The time Mr. Ning came over, he only arranged the matter of the Tiger King. Perhaps he did not expect that these people would reach out to the Central Plains. He did not mention his experience in Xixia..."

Lou Shuwan was feeling bored, and when she heard such an answer, her brow furrowed fiercely: "Go away, you Black Banner Army is like Ning Yi, you have good food and drink to support you, it's useless!"

When she encounters something about Ning Yi, she has to scold a few words, sometimes vulgar, and Zhan Wu is helpless.Especially after taking the other party's aid last year, everyone in the Huaxia Army was short-mouthed and soft-handed in front of her, so they could only leave in despair.It doesn't matter what the face is.

Ning Yi had no way of knowing what the grassland people thought, so Zhan Wu had to write a temporary letter to report the situation here.On Lou Shuwan's side, Yu Yulin and the others were summoned to raise their vigilance and prepare for a tough battle.As for Liao Yiren, try to plan to solve it as quickly as possible. Although the prairie people are temporarily slippery in their tactics, they must also have the psychological expectation of fighting a tough battle with the opponent. All methods to check and balance the opponent's guerrilla tactics must be done now.

So the fist was withdrawn, and the scheduled time for the Liao family's overall battle was postponed to April.During this period, Lou Shuwan and others launched a conservative defense on the periphery of the territory, but the sight of the village being attacked was still reported from time to time.

Every burned wheat field and village felt like a knife in Lou Shuwan's heart.Under such circumstances, she even brought her subordinates' personal guards to press the center of governance toward the front line.There is still a period of time to prepare for the attack, and private persuasion and lobbying on Liao Yiren's side are also in full swing. The beacon smoke in Jin is roaring, and in early April, the atmosphere is chilling, because people suddenly discovered that the interspersed and disturbed by the grassland people. , started at the end of March and stopped for some reason.

After a long period of silence, perhaps he was preparing for the next round of attack. Realizing this, Lou Shuwan ordered the army to be more vigilant, and at the same time let the people in front to inquire about the news.Not long after, extremely strange news came from the army on the Liao family's side...

……

To the north of Fenyang, Huixian, where the ancestral home of Liao Yiren's hometown is located, the chaos continues here.

The prairie people are suddenly attacked.

The time was on the evening of March 28. A dinner hosted by the Liao family was held in this mansion. Soon after, the Mongolian cavalry launched an attack on the nearby military camp. They captured the general of the army and captured the The commanding heights of the Liao family's inner courtyard.Afterwards, the Mongols controlled the Liao family for four days. Due to the previous arrangements, the nearby armaments were looted. A large number of grassland people came and dragged away the gunpowder, iron cannons, ammunition and other things they valued most at this time.

Although it seems premeditated, the Mongols still showed a lot of haste throughout the operation. It was difficult to determine why they chose such a time to attack the Liao family.But in any case, in the following four days, all kinds of cruel and inhuman things were staged in the Liao family's mansion.But in the first ten days of April, he and some of the Liao family were missing for a time. Because the Liao family's forces were in chaos, no one paid attention to the whereabouts of the Liao family after the Mongols looted the Liao family.

On the second day of the fourth lunar month, the Mongolian cavalry left Liao's house, and the nearby military camp was massacred. On the third day of the first month, the first group of people found the body of Liao's family. From the fifth day of the first day, people started to go to Lou Shuwan's side one after another. Conveyed the idea of ​​surrender.At the time, people were still confused about why this happened, and they still couldn't see the impact it would have on future conditions.Where did the Mongols go?The conscious investigation started after the fifth day of the first year, and the shocking feedback came after the tenth day of the first year.

After many years, people can sort out a general outline of Jindi from the mouths of survivors...

No one knew that on the afternoon of March 27, when two Mongolian generals named Jamuka and Chilaowen were discussing matters in the room in Jindi, it was a flying bird that alarmed the outer window. , or a relative of the Liao family who passed by unintentionally.But in short, the order to prepare for action was sent out not long after.

During the three months after arriving in Jin, the Mongols were fighting while learning about the situation in the whole world. At this time, they already knew that there was a more powerful force in the southwest that defeated Wanyan Zonghan's enemy.What Jamuhe and Chi Laowen discussed was what they were going to do next, and things were advanced because of the movement outside.

When the Mongolian army drove a group of Liao family members who were like livestock to the north, they had already tortured enough information.

The key to the action lies in the several stewards and immediate relatives who participated in the Liao family's business in the past.On the seventh day of the first lunar month, a business cavalry under the banner of the Liao family arrived at Yanmen Pass, the northernmost part of the Central Plains.

After the Jurchen took control of Yanmen Pass and actually controlled the Central Plains, due to the decline of the Central Plains, there were not many business trips between the two sides.But there are always.The Liao family is one of the forces with business qualifications, and after a resolute confrontation with Lou Shuwan, Yu Yulin and others, the Liao family's status among the local warlords has become very high.

This is a large team composed of more than [-] people. A lot of goods are shipped, and a lot of goods means that the troops stationed at the checkpoint will be more oily and watery.So the two sides conducted friendly consultations: the Jurchen team guarding the checkpoint made some difficulties, and the Liao family, the leader of the team, couldn't wait to throw out a lot of treasures to bribe each other-this kind of eagerness was originally unusual, but the Jurchen guarding Yanmen Pass The general has been soaked in the filial piety and oily water of all parties for a long time, and he did not find any abnormality for a while.

More than two hundred people entered through the gate of Yanmen Pass. Among the two hundred or more people, there were many Mongolians who would make great names in the future. They were: Jamuhe, Chilaowen, Muhuali, Zhe Don, Bolshu, Torre, Hesar, and Boer Jijin-Temujin...

More cavalrymen are waiting quietly in the mountains south of Yanmen Pass...

This is the moment when the Jurchen rear defense is empty.

The tiger showed its fangs.The Mongolian soldiers will soon run through the entire sixteen states of Yanyun until they reach the clouds...
