Fenghou

As soon as the war started, the [-] Jurchen army was cut off by two flanking cavalry of the Western Army with an overwhelming force and killed more than [-] people.

In addition to the casualties of the Tiefutu heavy armored cavalry, the main force of the Jin army has lost nearly 3 people.

But Wanyan Wushu didn't change his strategy. In fact, he had no choice. He faintly saw Chen Qing, the shining golden coach in Wang Qi's army.

He knew that killing Chen Qing was their only chance of winning.

The weather on the prairie changed at any time. It was still sunny just now, but soon dark clouds piled up, the wind was strong, and the prairie was completely chilled.

Chen Qing successfully attracted the main force of the enemy army to the [-] King Banner Army.

The [-] King Banner Army is all infantry, and the first two rows are [-] heavy armored infantry, wearing heavy armor, holding a three-pointed double-edged knife made of fine iron, which can be stabbed or stabbed.

They attack with collective strength, and have always been the strongest army against cavalry by infantry.

At this time, the heavy armored infantry suffered the overwhelming impact of the Jurchen cavalry. They were like solid reefs in the sea.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The heavy armored cavalry is mainly used to attack the ground and resist bows and arrows, but today the Western Army did not use bows and crossbows, so that they did not give full play to their greatest advantages, but their weakness is that they cannot last long. They cannot repeatedly attack in the army, they must directly charge Pass the enemy line and go away.

Obviously, this heavy armored cavalry is just a decoy to attract the attention of the Western Army. The real threat is the tens of thousands of fierce cavalry behind.

The [-] Mengan cavalry from behind had already charged like a stormy sea, and Chen Qing's face changed slightly. He was able to maintain an orderly formation while running fast. Without years of training, it was impossible for him to do so.

Although the Jurchen cavalry are brave and good at fighting, their biggest weakness is that they are relatively loose, but once they are well-trained, they will be even more powerful.

It can be seen that their overall cooperation is very skillful. From this point alone, this is a formidable enemy that has never been seen before.

Secondly, they did not use bows and arrows, but what coincided with the cavalry of the Western Army was that each of them had multiple short spears, and there was another long spear in addition to the short spears. It can be inferred that the short spears were their throwing weapons. Weapons, although short spears do not have the same range as crossbow bolts, can be thrown at close range with amazing lethality.

Moreover, their horses are very strong, tall and strong, and they look stronger than the war horses in the Hexi Corridor. They are selected from millions of prairie horses, and they are obviously faster than the Hexi horses of the Western Army. Otherwise, they How could he become the most powerful Meng'an army in the Kingdom of Jin.

From this fine cavalry, Chen Qing also realized Wanyan Wushu's strategy. From the very beginning, Wanyan Wushu put all his bets on himself. Of course, this was also a trap set by Chen Qing.

Wanyan Wushu attempted to use the most elite army of the Kingdom of Jin to defeat Wang Qijun where Chen Qing belonged, and killed the commander Chen Qing. Even if the price was huge, he still wanted to win the final victory.

It's just that Wanyan Wushu couldn't have imagined in his wildest dreams that he was not Chen Qing, but Chen Qing's stand-in, that he was staring at Jin Jia's coach.

War is so cruel, full of tricks, one move is wrong, and the whole game is lost.

The battle has been fought for two full hours. From early morning to noon, the Jin army frantically attacked the formation of the Wangqi army of the Western Army. They encountered tenacious resistance from the heavy armored infantry and continuous left and right attacks from the cavalry of the Western Army on both sides. Dead bodies everywhere. Across the field, the golden soldiers suffered extremely heavy casualties, and more than half of them were killed in battle.

The Western Army also paid the price of tens of thousands of casualties. The [-] army led by Yang Zaixing had already appeared a few miles to the north.

Wanyan Wushu seemed determined, no matter how heavy the casualties were, he would definitely defeat Wang Qijun's formation, and he had already seen Chen Qing in the formation.

After paying the price of tens of thousands of deaths, the Jin soldiers finally broke through a gap and rushed into the formation of Wang Qijun. , scattered and galloped, a cloud of dust rose from under the hooves of the horses, they slashed with swords, stabbed with spears, and fought fiercely with the elite Meng'an army of Wanyan Wushu outside the big formation.

This time, under the leadership of Wanyan Wushu, the 700 elite Meng'an troops of the Kingdom of Jin completely disappeared from the chaos of the previous two times. Three gaps were opened, resulting in the death of more than [-] heavy armored infantry of the Western Army and thousands of sword and shield troops.

Chen Qing was forced to order the heavy armored infantry to retreat, and ordered Li Fuxing to lead [-] spearmen to press up to replace the exhausted heavy armored infantry.

Half an hour later, the enemy cavalry had already broken into the formation with more than [-] people, and the spear army was gradually unable to resist. At this moment, Wanyan Wushu suddenly discovered that the golden armored commander had taken off his helmet.

This is no joke. Others can take off their helmets, but King Yong can't. He is the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven can only be crowned, but never taken off. It is impossible for Chen Qing to understand this truth.

Is it...

Wanyan Wushu became suspicious, and he looked around again. The golden-armored commander was surrounded by ordinary soldiers, not personal soldiers. Wanyan Wushu looked around again, and suddenly found that Wang Qi was gone, and Wang Qi was in another large building. Appeared in the sky.

"what--"

Wanyan Wushu finally realized that he had been duped, and this person was not Chen Qing.

Annoyed and anxious, he turned his horse's head and broke out, shouting: "Break out! Break out!"

Chen Qing could see clearly from the outside, and the opponent had already woken up, so he immediately ordered: "Chariot attack!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The hundred-faced drum sounded.

Twenty chariots moved forward quickly from the middle of the formation, the top cover was opened, and iron fire mines were projected out, exploding in the cavalry group, and suddenly the cavalrymen were thrown off their feet.

The cavalrymen of the Meng'an Army had never heard of iron fire thunders. They exploded continuously, the sound of the explosions was deafening, and dense poisonous nails flew in all directions.

The Meng'an cavalry were terrified, they turned their horses and fled out of the formation.

Tie Huolei became the last straw that overwhelmed the Jinbing army. Tens of thousands of cavalry joined forces from inside and outside, broke through the encirclement of the large formation, and prepared to evacuate.

Chen Qing immediately ordered: "The army join forces!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Hundred-faced war drums beat rhythmically, ordering the army to strike together.

Yang Zaixing's 18 troops spread like a net from the periphery, and the main force of [-] troops also began to encircle them layer by layer.

More than [-] Meng'an cavalry broke through desperately. They were the last essence of the Jin Kingdom and possessed the strongest combat effectiveness of the Jin Kingdom cavalry.

At this time, Wanyan Wushu and his [-]-odd soldiers finally broke through from the southwest corner, like wild beasts breaking through a cage, and fled westward regardless of everything.

Yue Yun led [-] cavalry in hot pursuit and killed them all the way. The enemy cavalry became less and less. Seeing the critical situation, Suo Liyi shouted: "Follow me to stop the enemy and cover the prince's retreat!"

He led more than a thousand cavalry to meet Yue Yun head-on, Suo Li Yishi let out a loud roar, and swung a copper stick at Yue Yun, Yue Yun raised his hammer to meet him.

"Dang!" With a loud noise, Suo Li Yishi is a 60-year-old veteran after all, no matter how strong he is, he is no match for Yue Yun, and he threw out the copper rod in his hand.

Room B of Suo Li yelled, he was about to flee, but Yue Yun's silver hammer had arrived, 'Crack! 'Hitting the back of the head with a hammer, the head was instantly shattered, the brains were scattered, and he died tragically on the spot.

Yue Yun turned around and went to kill the enemy. More than a thousand soldiers resisted desperately, but they were far from being opponents of the Western Army. They were all killed in less than a stick of incense. After watching Yan Wushu, he led hundreds of people and escaped. without a trace.

At this moment, a passionate horn sounded from a distance. This was the horn sound of the main force of the Western Army to wipe out the enemy.

Seeing that Wanyan Wushu could no longer catch up, Yue Yun had no choice but to order his troops to withdraw.

The Western Army killed the enemy in an all-round way, killing the last Jurchen cavalry before they achieved great success.

Both sides suffered heavy casualties in this battle. The Western Army had nearly 2 casualties, and the Golden Army had an elite army of [-]. Only Wanyan Wushu led hundreds of people to flee. .

In addition to the 2 people annihilated last night, the last [-] troops of the Jin soldiers were wiped out, which also meant the demise of the Jin country.

The grassland was jubilant, all the soldiers of the Western Army rejoiced, and everyone burst into tears. They had waited for this moment for 20 years.

Starting from Qinzhou, they moved to Ganquan Fort. They fought all the way and grew stronger step by step. In the end, they won.

Even the coach Chen Qing couldn't help but shed tears of excitement.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

In fact, the Kingdom of Jin also had an army of [-] troops led by Han Chang, but they were miscellaneous, consisting of [-] Khitans and [-] Hans.

Han Chang knew that the situation of the Jin Kingdom was over, so he led [-] soldiers and [-] craftsmen to surrender to Niu Gao.

At this time, Niu Gao's [-] troops had already controlled hundreds of thousands of people and all their belongings where King Jin's account was located.

Most of the hundreds of nobles in the Kingdom of Jin had been wiped out by Wanyan Wushu, and the remaining dozens were all captured. This time, Niu Gao was not lenient. He had received Chen Qing's order before, and all nobles in the Kingdom of Jin Kill them all, leaving no hidden dangers.

That night, dozens of the last nobles of the Kingdom of Jin were all beheaded, and no one was spared.

Although nearly a thousand other noble women were not killed, they were also deprived of all noble titles and became ordinary civilian women, retaining only a small amount of property. Wife's Western Army soldier.

More than [-] people from the Kingdom of Jin were sent to Linhuang City for isolation, and the sick were treated by military doctors. Unlike the Kingdom of Jin, there was no cure, and only one person died in the end.

The military doctors of the Western Army used Zhang Zhongjing's prescriptions for treatment, coupled with isolation and disinfection, and the patients were replenished with water and nutrition in time. As long as the body is not particularly weak, they can be cured in the end.

In fact, Chen Qing was more interested in the wealth of the Kingdom of Jin. The wealth accumulated in the Northern Song Dynasty for a hundred years was plundered by the Kingdom of Jin.

So he brought all the wealth in the warehouse with him, as well as a large amount of wealth carried by the nobles. It was loaded with 10,000+ carts. There were tens of thousands of large boxes from the Northern Song Dynasty, and the royal family of the Northern Song Dynasty on them Seal, never out of the box.

In addition, there is also the wealth plundered by Wanyan Wushu when he searched the mountains and seas in the early Southern Song Dynasty.

There are large quantities of gold and silver, jewellery, silk, porcelain, jade, bronze, lacquer, strange stones, spices, furs, and various other precious materials.

However, there were not many copper coins. The main reason was that the Kingdom of Jin also needed copper coins to circulate and to support the puppet Qi at that time, so the copper coins were basically used up.

However, the nobles of the Jin Dynasty basically did not use other wealth. This is actually a misunderstanding. For example, a piece of exquisite Taihu Lake stone has a profound cultural heritage in the Song Dynasty. There are enough literati who like it and are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it. Very valuable.

The Jurchens thought it was treasure and wealth, and transported it back, but who would like it in the Kingdom of Jin?In the eyes of Jin Guo people, it is a broken stone, so it has been left in the warehouse for more than [-] years without moving.

The same is true for gold and silver. Without sufficient economic support, gold and silver cannot be spent. It is no different from a pile of broken copper and iron. Of course, after the peace talks between Song and Jin resumed normal trade, gold, silver and Taihu stone can be exchanged for food. It's another story.

Linhuang City, Chen Qingzheng and Niu Gao walked slowly on the top of the city.

"Does Niu Dutong know why Wanyan Wushu wanted to move his capital to Linhuang City?"

Niu Gao thought for a while and said, "I found that Linhuang City is a very high strategic support point. It connects Liaodong to the east and controls the grassland to the west. Maybe Wanyan Wushu thinks that Liaodong can no longer be controlled, or that Liaodong can no longer support the Kingdom of Jin. He began to consider using the grasslands to support the Kingdom of Jin!"

Chen Qing nodded, "You're right, Wanyan Wushu really thinks this way, it should be said that his thinking is still very clear, and the strategic direction is also right, but the timing of his entry is too late.

If he did not attack Goryeo last year, but moved the capital to Linhuang Mansion in advance and fully controlled the grassland, then the Jin Kingdom should have no problem supporting it for another 20 years, and even reunify the grassland, but he made a wrong decision to attack Goryeo and took a wrong step , it is beyond redemption. "

"Your Highness, you want to continue to control the Linhuang Mansion?" Niu Gao had a taste of what the lord meant.

Chen Qing nodded, "It's not as simple as regaining control of the Linhuang Mansion. It's related to the continuation of the blood of our descendants for hundreds or even thousands of years. It's not terrible for the Han people to fight among themselves. It's nothing more than changing one dynasty for another. It’s different, once a foreign tribe invades, it will be a disaster for the entire nation, and it will be difficult to stand up for hundreds or even thousands of years, so controlling the grassland is the most important strategy in ten years.”

"Then why doesn't His Highness directly use troops against the Tata, Kere, and Mierqi tribes? I believe that [-] elite soldiers can sweep the grasslands."

Chen Qing walked to the front of the battlements, supported the battlements and looked towards the west. After a long while, he slowly said: "I originally planned to attack the Krets after the gold was destroyed, and directly wiped out the Krets, but a piece of news before departure changed my mind. Decide, that is Xiliao!"

"Is it the Xiliao founded by Yelu Dashi?"

"That's right! That's it. In fact, it is not suitable to be called Liao. It was established by the Khitan nobles, but its people are not Khitans. The Western Liao has already wiped out the Black Khan and began to attack the Gaochang Huihe. Once the Gaochang Huihe is destroyed, then the Western Liao Liao's next step is either the Hexi Corridor or the grassland, I think the grassland is more likely, Yelu Dashi's strategy must be to return to the homeland of Liaodong through the grassland."

"Humble job understands!"

Niu Gao understood King Yong's strategic intention to control the grassland and prevent the strategic eastward expedition of the Xiliao army.

"Xiaozhi is willing to stay, carry out His Highness's intention, and control the grassland!"

Chen Qing was really relieved, he was worried that Niu Gao would not stay, but he didn't expect Niu Gao to agree.

"With Niu Dutong's words, I feel relieved!"

Niu Gao hurriedly said: "Although I understand His Highness's intentions, I still need to ask His Highness for some details. How to control the grassland? I have no experience in this field."

Chen Qing nodded and said: "The so-called control of the grassland is actually two words, 'balance of power'. We must never let a family grow bigger, and whoever is strong will fight. Now the Mierqi department is strong, so Niu Dutong must first deal with it. Mier begged for troops.

We must learn from the method of the Kingdom of Jin, unite with the Kelie and Tata tribes, and promise them the pasture. The three families will join hands to attack the Mierqi tribe. about there.

Keeping them fighting each other and weakening them, but not destroying them, keeping them in a balance of power is called balance of power, but if the army of Xiliao came, they would have to unite the three families to fight against Xiliao together. "

Niu Gao nodded silently, he really understood that the key lies in 'balance of power'.

Chen Qing added: "It will take me 20 years. Our population will increase to more than 1 million. We will have more advanced means of transportation and be able to control the grasslands. At that time, we will fully control the grasslands."

……

Ten days later, the quarantine was lifted, more than 30 people were cured, seven people died of illness, and the others who were not sick were not infected.

Chen Qing also selected [-] barren young women from more than [-] Jurchen women, and betrothed them to [-] unmarried soldiers who were about to be disarmed and returned to the fields.

Chen Qing then made a more important decision. After the [-] soldiers were disarmed and returned to the fields, they would all stay in Liaodong, and they would be given extremely generous treatment.

Chen Qing immediately appointed Niu Gao as the governor of Anbei, he was named the champion general, the school inspected the censor Zhongcheng, he was named the Duke of Liao, and he led an army of [-] to sit in Linhuang Mansion.

Wang Duo was granted the title of deputy governor of Anbei, Xi Guogong, and was promoted to commander of the capital of the upper army to assist Niu Gao in guarding Linhuang Mansion.

Ten days later, an army of 25 marched southward with more than 10,000 Jurchen women and children, [-]+ carts, and [-] camels, returning to Yanshan Road.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The team walked very slowly. That night, the army rested in Dading City. Chen Qing stood on the city wall and looked at the tents scattered on the grassland outside the city. The tents stretched as far as the eye can see. They were all veterans and their new wives.

Chen Qing is still more humane. The 10,000 veterans took away not only the bride, but also the bride's parents. Two [-]+ Jurchen civilians, more than half of them were resettled.

Chen Qing added another two hundred acres of land to each soldier who had Jurchen parents-in-law.

In the future, the parents and brothers of the soldiers will also come to Liaodong, and Chen Qing will also give land and tax benefits.

Yang Zaixing walked to Chen Qing's side, looked at the dotted tents in the distance and said, "Liaodong is basically empty. They stay in Liaodong and will become the first generation of pioneers."

"Not only a pioneer, but also a guardian!"

Chen Qing said indifferently: "Once the Western Liao army reaches Liaodong, they will be able to gather quickly and wipe out all the aggression. This is the main reason why I put them in Liaodong!"

"Your Highness is far-sighted, even if there is no Xiliao army, they are still the best builders!"

"That's right, they will become the masters of Liaodong!"

Chen Qingxin said: "Give them the most fertile land, let them live and work in peace and contentment, and have children. In the future, many people will come from the Central Plains. They can also get land and be tax-free. I also want to give the Han people Migrating abroad, the population is insufficient!"

Yang Zaixing said with a smile: "Now I understand the significance of His Highness's vigorous promotion of corn, potatoes and cotton, greatly increasing food production, so that the common people can eat and wear warmly, and the population will grow."
