Fang Jinshi still knew these two lines of poetry, even though he couldn't memorize Du Fu's complete poem "The Prime Minister of Shu".
A soldier from the Jin camp came up to pour tea for Fang Jinshi. He was thinking that the Jurchen tea should be some kind of ginseng tea and milk tea. When he opened the lid, he saw that it was authentic Jiangnan green tea. There were green bamboos printed on the tea cup, which was obviously It belongs to the Han style of the Song Dynasty.
Looking at the calligraphy and paintings all over the palace, this authentic Jiangnan green tea is actually the marching residence of a senior Jurchen general from the bitter cold land of Northeast China. It seems that Wanyan Digunai likes Han culture very much.
Fang Jinshi sat in the hall for a while, and heard some noisy sounds from behind. Fang Jinshi walked to the window in the corner of the hall and looked out. He saw a group of golden soldiers in the backyard embracing a young Jurchen general. This boy was at most He was only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and strong. He should be more than half a head taller than Fang Jinshi. He had a riding whip in his hand and was directing the Jin soldiers to lock three bald monks into a huge wooden cage in the corner of the backyard. .
These three monks, one old and two young, I think they were the original monks in this temple. They begged and struggled tremblingly, and they forced the Jinbingmen to be stuffed into the wooden cage.
As soon as the three monks entered the wooden cage, the golden soldiers held long spears and reached in to stab the wolves that were already in the cage. The wolves had been hungry for a long time, and when the golden soldiers stabbed them again, they immediately started to Jumping up to attack the three monks, screams broke out, and the young man and his golden soldiers laughed, which made Fang Jinshi sound particularly harsh.
Fang Jinshi rushed to the door and wanted to run over to plead with the three monks. The golden soldiers guarding the door took out their swords and shouted loudly. Fang Jinshi could not understand the Jurchen words they said, but he also knew that if he forced his way in, these golden soldiers would be the guards. I will never be polite to him again.
Fang Jinshi returned to the main hall and looked out the back window. He could no longer hear the screams. The wooden cage was stained with blood. In a matter of seconds, three monks were mauled to death by hungry wolves in the backyard.
When Fang Jinshi heard footsteps coming from the door, he turned around from the back window. The young man he had just seen walked in from the door with a taller Jin Jing. As he walked, the young man asked Jin Jing behind him. The general said: "Tang Kuobian, have Chi Zhanhui's men arrived at the city?"
The Jin general at the back, Tang Kuo, said: "We arrived last night."
The young man said: "Okay, let's start attacking the city early tomorrow morning." He had already walked into the palace, and then he saw Fang Jinshi standing in the corner of the palace. He stopped and asked, "Who are you?"
Just as Fang Jinshi was about to speak, Ping Zhang, who led him in from outside the door, ran in and said, "Young General, he is Song General Fang Jinshi."
This young Jurchen general is Wanyan Digunai, whose name is Yuan Gong. He is the son of Wanyan Zongqian, the son of Wanyan Aguda, the emperor of Jin Dynasty.
Fang Jinshi saluted according to the rules, but he did not expect that Wanyan Digu was such a young person. Wanyan Digu walked to the upper seat and sat down, pointed to the seat next to him and said: "Sit down." Fang Jinshi thanked him and sat down. .
Wanyan Digunai looked at him and said: "Someone mentioned you to me a few days ago and said that you are quite resourceful. I sent someone to check and found out that you were able to put Zhang Zong'e's troops into a desperate situation without any harm. He really has some skills in rescuing her."
Fang Jinshi bowed slightly and said modestly: "Actually, it's just a coincidence and good luck. I didn't do much."
Wanyan Digunai said: "Really? This man told me that if you gain power in the future, you will definitely be a disaster for me, the great queen. He offered me a plan and asked me to invite you here and kill you with one knife to avoid future troubles." ." When he said this, he looked at Fang Jinshi, wanting to see Fang Jinshi's reaction.
Fang Jinshi was secretly surprised. He pretended to be indifferent and said: "The young general is too considerate of me. The young general wants to kill me. It's as easy as squeezing an ant to death. I just hope that the young general will understand and don't suffer." Some villains with ulterior motives have deceived me."
Wanyan Digunai looked at him for a long time, then suddenly laughed and said: "If I want to kill you, I don't have to trick you into coming here. I can just send troops to capture Roufu County. I believe that with your troops, I can capture it in less than half a day." ." Fang Jinshi followed his intention and said: "That's that."
Wanyan Digunai added: "Since the Song and Jin Dynasties have an alliance, if you occupy Roufu County, you will also occupy Roufu County. However, there are still some defeated Khitan soldiers in Yinmatan in Roufu. If you want Yinmatan, Just send troops to destroy these Liao soldiers. If you find it difficult, how about I send troops?"
Fang Jinshi heard that he meant whoever occupies Yinma Beach belongs to him. Originally, this was fair and reasonable, but now it is really difficult for the Song army to send troops to attack Xiao Kuohai and Qin Gankai, but he can't refuse to fight or give in. The golden soldiers went to fight.
Fang Jinshi thought for a moment and said, "I wonder how the young general plans to attack Yinmatan?"
Wanyan Digunai said: "There are only two to three thousand remaining soldiers in Yinmatan."Now, we have mobilized 10,000 soldiers and horses to clear them out. One or two days will be enough. "Fang Jinshi shook his head after hearing this.
Wanyan Digunai was stunned and asked: "Isn't ten thousand Jurchen warriors enough?" Fang Jinshi said: "Yinma Beach is undefeated. Ten thousand people are enough. I'm just afraid that the Liao soldiers will attack Yinma Beach knowing they are outmatched." The mine smelting furnace in Madan was destroyed, and then we fought to the death. Yin Madan was the last one to get it, and I don¡¯t know how long it will take for it to return to its current state."
Wanyan Digunai pondered for a moment and then said: "How can you prevent the Khitan soldiers from destroying those things?"
Fang Jinshi said: "I'm afraid it's difficult to do this, but I have a way to give it a try." Wanyan Digunai said: "What way?"
Fang Jinshi stepped forward, went to his desk, spread out a piece of rice paper, took a brush and drew a circle on the paper to represent Yinmatan, and a horizontal line in front to represent the river, and then said: "My method is to let me The soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty are in the west, and you are in the north. Our two armies encircled and used iron barrel formations to trap these Liao soldiers on Yinma Beach, but they did not attack."
Wanyan Digunai glanced at Fang Jin¡¯s stone painting and said, ¡°Why is this like this?¡±
Fang Jinshi pointed at the circle representing the location of Yinmatan and said: "Yinmatan is located in a low-lying area, and its drainage depends on a canyon in Ningren to the east. If you block this place and then dig up the dam of the dredging river upstream, at this time It¡¯s the autumn flood season and the river is flowing fiercely.¡±
Tang Kuobian, who had been silent all this time, finally interjected: "Then there is no need for us to do anything to these Liao soldiers." Wanyan Digunai said: "If we do this, those furnace smelting mines will be even more completely destroyed. .¡±
Fang Jinshi said: "This is not necessarily true. As long as we block the river channel for real and dig embankments for falsehood, if Liao general Xiao Kuohai still pities the lives of thousands of craftsmen, old and weak women and children in Yinmatan, then we can find someone who can speak eloquently." The scholars are lobbying, and we are not afraid that he will not surrender."
Wanyan Digu looked at Tang Kuo and said, "Tang Kuo, what do you think of this plan?" Tang Kuo said, "According to my subordinates' opinion, this plan is feasible."
Wanyan Digunai turned to Fang Jinshi and said: "Others say you are very resourceful, and it is true today. Liao General Xiao Kuohai hates me to the bone. Even if he is forced to surrender, he will only surrender to you. When the time comes, At that time, it was Da Jin who sent troops and strength, and it was Da Song who got the benefits cheaply. This is indeed a good strategy of yours."
Tang Kuobian had not thought of this. At this moment, Fang realized it and said angrily: "If the Song soldiers want territory, they can just conquer it themselves. I'm afraid that a small Yinma Beach may not be conquered in a few years. " His voice was full of sarcasm, he was really angry that Fang Jinshi was too cunning.
Wanyan Digunai said in a deep voice: "No, although this is a useless thing to make a wedding dress for the Song Dynasty, but the Song-Jin alliance, I, the Kingdom of Jin, still have to help those who should be helped, otherwise there will be future troubles , but it¡¯s not good, and it also wastes Captain Fang¡¯s good strategy.¡± He suddenly knew that the effort would be thankless, but he still insisted on doing it. This was not his style, and Tang Kuo couldn¡¯t help but be stunned.
When Fang Jinshi said this method, he did it in a hurry without careful planning. He used the golden soldiers to put pressure on Xiao Kuohai, but what may have benefited him in the end was that the intention of the Song Army was too obvious, but Wanyan Digunai It was very grand and completely unexpected.
Wanyan Digunai called out: "Hutu." A Jinbing primary school student named Hutu came in from outside the door. This Jinbing named Hutu was tall and thin, and looked dull. Yan Digunai said: "You send my military order quickly and ask Wanyan Guamujin from the West Road to come here immediately."
Hutu got his military order and went out. Wanyan Digunai entered the stone and said to him: "When Guamjin arrives, you have a good discussion with him about Song and Jin's defense in Roufu County, and then let him cooperate according to the strategy you just mentioned. You act." Fang Jinshi saluted and thanked, Wanyan Digunai said: "You are now in the seventh rank of the Yongxing Army, right?"
Fang Jinshi said with some embarrassment: "Young General, I am a martial arts general from the seventh rank." Wanyan Digunai smiled and said: "Then are you willing to come to my tent and help me? I guarantee you will be a fifth rank in no time. In the military position, Dajin is as powerful as a rainbow. Not only do you have a lot of potential, but your future is limitless." Wanyan Digunai looked at Fang Jinshi with sincere eyes, hoping that he would agree.
He recruited him so sincerely. Although Fang Jinshi would never seek refuge with the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, his character was soft rather than tough. The young general was so sincere that he was slightly moved. Fang Jinshi said: "Thank you very much, sir." The general is very fond of me, but I have parents at home who dare not stay away, so please forgive me, young general."
Wanyan Digunai smiled and said: "What's the difficulty? Just bring them to live in the north." Fang Jinshi said: "My parents are used to living in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid they can't stand the cold in the north and will have to let them down." It¡¯s the general¡¯s kindness.¡±
Wanyan Digunai sighed and said: "That's a pity. I will always leave a place for you here. Whenever you want to come and help me, I will be ready to welcome you." Fang Jinshi thanked him repeatedly, and he compiled Refuse to tell a lie, even felt a little sorry for Wanyan Digunai's warm invitation.
Wanyan Digunai chatted with him for a few words, but Hutu had already asked Wanyan Guamjin to come over. Wanyan Digunai said: "You go and discuss defense with Guamjin. I will invite you again in the evening." Drink." Fang Jinshi bowed to him again and said goodbye, following Hu Tu out of the temple.
Tang Kuobian watched Fang Jinshi walk away and stepped forward and said, "Major General, why are we helping the Song army to seize Yinma Beach?" Wanyan Digunai turned around and said, "So what if we don't help the Song army?"
Tang Kuo argued: "Why not lead the army to seize it?" Wanyan Digunai smiled and said: "So what if we seize it? You must know that the Han craftsmen in the Song Dynasty were very skilled. I, the Jurchen, will learn from them for another ten or twenty years." , and cannot reach their technical level. Instead of doing this, it is better to send this iron ore to the Han people for smelting. Whenever we want it, we only need to send troops to seize it. Therefore, on the surface, I will give the Song army a lot of money as a bride. Clothes, in fact, it¡¯s not like Song Jun gave me Dai Jin to make my wedding clothes?¡±
Tang Kuo argued: "What if the Song army is heavily fortified after they have gone?" Wanyan Digunai smiled contemptuously and said: "My Dajin cavalry is invincible. In a terrain like Yinmatan, no matter how many Song soldiers there are, So what, even if you really can't grab it, Fang's plan, Dajin, can also be used on the Song army, why not?" After Tang Kuobian listened to Yan Digunai's words, he suddenly realized that if he is smart, he can see far. , how could Fang Jinshi, a small general from the Song Dynasty, be as good as Wanyan Digunai, the crown prince of the Jin Dynasty?
