Falling Blossoms and Storms Ancient Poetry[Transmigration Book]

Wan Yannuo did not dare to say bitterness. After bidding farewell to the lord, he returned to the barracks, bathed and changed clothes, and even wrote the suicide note and arranged the affairs of the afterlife. Then he summoned his generals and said frankly: "Mongols have repeatedly invaded This time, they came out in full force, heading straight to the central capital, intending to destroy my Dajin, how abominable!"

A few simple words and a few words mobilized the determination of the soldiers to defend the country and fight the enemy.

"I promise the country with my body, why don't I dare to do anything?" When he was in command of the Zhongxiao Army, Wan Yannuo took it as his duty to serve the country loyally. , When the country is in danger, how can we live in vain? I also hope that you will join me in making contributions to the country and destroying the thieves together."

What Wanyannuo didn't say was that there is death but no life, there is advance but there is no retreat.

The soldiers were deeply inspired, looked up at their commander in chief, and shouted in unison: "Make meritorious service for the country, defeat the thieves together...serve the country, defeat the thieves together...make contributions for the country, defeat the thieves together..."

One sound is louder than the other, and the enemy is united with the enemy, and the mountains and rivers are full of vigor.

There will be a heart that must die, and the scholar will not be greedy for life.

In this battle, Wanyan Nuojian took a slanted front and marched dangerously. With a mere [-] warriors, he rushed into the [-] Mongolian cavalry.

These four hundred warriors, facing the menacing and murderous Mongolian cavalry, bravely killed the enemy bravely, making the Mongolians terrified, as if they had returned to the horror scene when they were wantonly slaughtered by the loyal and filial army.

Despite such a huge disparity in military strength, they still won a complete victory. The news of the victory came back, and the people of Zhongdu were all excited.

Hearing such gratifying news, Wanyan Xu was even more overjoyed. He praised Wanyan Nuo again and again, saying: "The first battle was won, General Wanyan was ordered in the face of danger, he managed the army well, he played the first role, and his reputation shocked the country!"

After defeating Chi Laowen, Wanyannuo returned to the central capital in high spirits. The common people lined up to welcome him, and the King of Jin Wanyanxu even went to the gate of the city to greet him in person, giving Wanyannuo enough face.

From a distance, seeing the figure of the King of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Nuo was overwhelmed by flattery, quickly got off his horse, trotted to Wanyan Xu, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, the general will come back victorious, fortunately he fulfilled his mission."

Wan Yanxu supported Wan Yan Nuo, took advantage of the situation to lift him up, and said with a gratified smile: "General Wanyan won the first battle, defeated Chi Laowen, and showed the prestige of our country. You deserve it! You deserve it!"

Wanyan Nuo was overwhelmed with fear, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty has praised you, and the last general is ashamed and ashamed."

Patting Wanyan Nuo's shoulder lightly, Wanyanxu couldn't help laughing heartily. At this time, he also had to admire Mandu's knowledge of people. At the beginning, it was because of Mandu's strong recommendation that Wanyanxu was able to recruit Such generals who are good at fighting, Mandu recommends virtuous and meritorious generals, and they should be rewarded together.

Wan Yanxu immediately issued a decree, awarding rewards for meritorious service. Wanyan Nuo was conferred the title of Great General of Dingyuan for his meritorious service to the country. Originally, according to Wan Yanxu's original intention, he wanted to promote Wan Yan Nuo to be prosecuted by the Zhongxiao Army. , But after thinking about it, the Zhongxiao Army was cultivated and established by Mandu. Without asking Mandu's opinion, directly appointing generals, I am afraid that it will chill Mandu's heart.Wanyan Xu didn't want Mandu to misunderstand that he meant to confiscate the military power of the Zhongxiao Army, and he didn't want to have a quarrel with Mandu because of the appointment of personnel, so he just thought about it for a while, and then let it go.

At the same time, Wanyan Chuo sent someone to send a message back to Wanyanxu who was guarding the central capital. Reinforcement troops had already set off, so they must defend the central capital well. When the time comes, the Mongols will never return!

Knowing that Mandu has personally led the army back to aid, and will arrive soon to relieve the siege of Zhongdu, Wan Yanxu is even more determined, even though he is about to face Ogotai Khan's 20 Mongolian army head-on, Still full of confidence.

With [-] warriors, Wan Yannuo defeated the [-] elite soldiers of the famous Mongolian general Chi Laowen, embarrassing Wo Kuotai, and was furious. Before the battle, Yan Nuo saved some face.

Subotai was a famous general who followed Genghis Khan in the southern and northern wars. The Mongolian army marched westward three times, and Subotai and his son followed him twice as the commander-in-chief of the army. They made great military achievements and were quite famous.

Wan Yanxu didn't dare to be careless, and urgently summoned all civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures together.

A counselor said to Wan Yanxu: "Wo Kuotai Khan has sent his army south this time, claiming to have an army of 50. However, it is unwise for the Mongolian army to divide into three groups and attack them in vain. And Wo Kuotai Khan Commander’s 20-strong army is coming from thousands of miles away, and the men and horses are exhausted. As long as the prefectures and counties near the capital city are cleared up, they can stop the Mongolian army from attacking the city.”

Strong walls and clear fields?These are some bad ideas!

Wan Yanxu disagreed very much, and asked the common people to burn all their food, houses, and wells to be buried together, in a vain attempt to trap the Mongolian army and cut off the way out of the Mongolian army. It is really ridiculous!The Mongolian army had nothing to eat, nothing to drink, and nothing to live in, and then Okuotai Khan would have no choice but to retreat. If this is not whimsical, what is it?

If Mandu was present, he would definitely not be able to resist yelling.

Wan Yanxu let out a long sigh, and said with emotion: "The soldiers defended the country and protected the people. Now that the Mongol army came, we not only failed to protect the people, but forced the people to burn their food and houses. Withdrew the soldiers and left only a central capital city, with ruins and scorched earth in all directions, what is a country? What will the common people do for a living? If this is true, how can I see the people of Li in the world, even after death Entering the underworld, I am also ashamed to face my ancestors!"

The counselor wanted to persuade him again, but Wan Yanxu interrupted him impatiently with a wave of his hand, and said bluntly: "There is no need to say too much, there is a destiny for survival! The people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least. People!"

Every word is deafening.

Wan Yanxu sternly rejected this suggestion of drawing salary from the bottom of the pot. Seeing that this plan would not work, another counselor said: "Your Majesty, why don't you divert water for irrigation along the short embankment around the city of Zhongdu, use water instead of soldiers, and stand outside the short embankment?" Form a natural moat, which should be able to block the attack of the Mongolian army."

This strategy sounds reasonable, but in fact it is completely whimsical. When it is actually operated, it will be discovered that using water to replace soldiers is a big pit, not to mention tossing the soldiers and civilians, and it will only be futile in the end.

Wanyan Chenghui directly denied this bad idea after thinking for a while, shaking his head and said: "This plan is not right, diverting water to surround the capital, even if the Mongols can't get in, we can't get out, it's like being in a cocoon, besides, the capital city How can it survive after being soaked in water?"

You know, the city walls at that time were not brick walls, but mostly made of rammed earth. If you soak them in water, they will definitely die over time!In addition, don’t forget the most important point. Mongolia is dominated by cavalry. Although people on the short embankment can’t jump over, horses can, and horses can also dart in water.

Another counselor said: "Your Majesty, the city of Zhongdu is luxurious and magnificent, with a square layout and a total length of nearly a hundred miles. The defense line is too long and it is not easy to defend. Why not use the imperial palace as the boundary and only guard the inner city? Wait for Prince Rong to lead the army Rescue, the siege of Zhongdu will be easily solved, and the country will be safe!"

Wanyan Chenghui refused without even thinking about it: "My son is now restrained by the Mongolian iron cavalry on the border, and he can't get away. The Mongolian army is waiting for the loyal and filial army to go south, so as to catch us all in one go and put all our hopes on the son. It’s too risky on the Lord! We should rely on ourselves and defend the Central Capital well, we must not be like Prince Rui and Prince Rui’s sons, who are greedy for life and afraid of death, fleeing before fighting, gaining the ambition of the Mongols in vain, and destroying the prestige of our own people!"

The so-called Prince Rui and Prince Rui's sons naturally refer to the third uncle Wanyan Hongxu who took advantage of nothing, and his eldest son Wanyan Zong. and the face of the Jurchen.

Wanyan Xu agreed deeply, nodded and said: "If you just defend the imperial palace, you will naturally not be able to withstand the attack of the Mongolian army, you must stick to the outer city!"

The Lord of the Kingdom of Jin issued an edict that in the central capital, anyone who can hold a knife and gun, regardless of men, women, old or young, can go up to the city wall to defend against the enemy if they wish. A total of 2 soldiers have been gathered, and young and middle-aged people who have been gathered here and there are scattered. There are 6 soldiers, less than [-] in total, defending a huge central capital and resisting the massive invasion of the Mongols. The situation can be described as precarious!

The people in Zhongdu City knew very well that they could not defend Zhongdu City by themselves, and all their hopes rested on Prince Rong who was about to rush back to rescue him.

Wanyan Chenghui tried his best to reject all opinions, and spoke to Wanyan Xu, saying: "The general has the will to die, and the soldiers have no greed for life. This is the foundation of General Wanyan's victory over the enemy. Your Majesty's benevolence and compassion for the hard work of the people are my great fortune. , At this critical moment for the survival of the country, Your Majesty is also requested to set an example, go up to the city wall, and join the soldiers and civilians to defend the land and defend the country."

"It should be so." Wanyan Xu nodded repeatedly, willing to set an example, and issued an edict: "Since ancient times, there has been no country that has never been destroyed, and the king of a subjugated country is often imprisoned by others, or offered captives, or humiliated by the court. It must not end here. In this battle, the emperor guards the gate of the country, and the king dies in the country! You wait and see, I am determined!"

"Your Majesty benevolent..."

Wan Yannuo temporarily trained a team, about 7 to [-] people. Most of the soldiers were nomads, good at riding and shooting, and had strong combat effectiveness. To fight against the enemy, everyone is united, and Wo Kuotai Khan will not be able to attack Zhongdu City for a while.

Wo Kuotai Khan went to Zhongdu confidently, but when he came to the city, he couldn't conquer it in one fell swoop. He was furious and angry, so he could only indulge his soldiers to plunder the counties near Zhongdu to vent his hatred.
