Text Chapter 352 Liao Invasion

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Baigou River was rolling with waves, and the Liao army, which had been huddled on the north bank for many days, gathered together and prepared to cross the river.  Every Liao army howled with pain. To them, the Central Plains was a hunting ground, full of gold and silver, while the southerners' army was just prey with a little resistance. Hunting them was not even as dangerous as hunting wild beasts.

    This is what they discovered in recent years when they dug into the grass valley. The combat effectiveness of the Southerners' army declined faster than that of the Liao people.

    The emperor of the Southerners, Zhao Ji, was even more ridiculous than their emperor Yelu Yanxi. There were some clans in the Liao Kingdom that were doing things, but the court in the Song Dynasty was full of treacherous ministers.

    "Hundreds of people on distant posts were galloping on the south bank to scout, conveying the movements of the troops and horses.

    Yelu Yanxi, surrounded by Liao generals, went down to the river and was about to be the first to cross.

    Seeing this, Yelu Dashi hurriedly said: "The southerners have also gathered, and they are likely to attack us while we are halfway across the river. The emperor cannot come to the dangerous place in person. I would like to lead my troops to cross the river first to prevent the southerners from attacking."

    Yelu Yanxi still wanted to be the first person to conquer the South, and couldn't help but frown when he heard this.  Of course, the long road across the river is not included, otherwise the Central Plains would not have known how much detail had been put into it.

    Xiao Fengxian, a favored minister on the side, was unwilling to take risks with the emperor, and hurriedly advised: "Lin Ya Dashi is right. The emperor has a stake in the world, so how can he be a front-line army? In my opinion, we should first send 20,000 people across the river to form an army. Your Majesty,  It¡¯s safer to cross the river.¡±

    "Report, the soldiers and horses of the Liang Kingdom are coming towards the Baigou River."

    Yuanbanzi's report became the straw that broke the camel's back. When Yelu Yanxi heard that the Daliang army was approaching, he suddenly gave up on being the first to cross the river and nodded slightly.

    When Yelu Dashi heard this, he immediately said: "The last general is willing to lead his 10,000 troops across the river."

    The surrounding generals also reacted and competed to be the first to cross the river.

    One of the most active Han generals was Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the resentful army.

    In the fifth year of Tianqing's reign, Yelu Yanxi led the entire army to attack the Jin Kingdom. At Hubu Dagang, the Jin Kingdom defeated the so-called 700,000-strong army with 20,000 people.

    This battle shocked the whole country and changed people's minds. The following year, Bohai native Gao Yongchang killed Xiao Baoxian, who stayed in Liaodong and claimed to be the emperor of the Great Bohai Kingdom. He changed his reign to Yingshun and occupied more than fifty states in Liaodong.

    Yelu Yanxi sent troops to attack, but was defeated by the Jurchen soldiers who supported Gao Yongchang in Shenzhou.  However, all the soldiers and horses of the Liao Kingdom were lost in the Battle of Guarding Dagang. Yelu Yanxi had no choice but to order King Yelu Chun of Yan to recruit the hungry people of Liaodong to repay their grievances against the Jurchens. They called them the "Resentful Army", which was divided into Qianyi Camp,  There were eight battalions of 28,000 people in Houyiying, Qianjinying, Houjinying, Qianying, Xianying, Qianxian camp and Yanzhou camp. Guo Yaoshi was one of the leaders.

    Originally, we wanted these hungry people to complain to the Jurchens, but as a result, this resentful army complained to the Liao Kingdom before sending troops.  Because they did not receive enough equipment, these fierce and resentful soldiers rebelled.  The Liao State finally put down the rebellion and allowed the resentful army to go to the front line. Because the battle was unfavorable, the Liao State executed a general, and then the resentful army rebelled again.

    Yelu Yujian and Xiao Qian, commanders of the capital of Liao, led their troops to quell the rebellion. Seeing that the situation was not good, Medicine Master Guo killed several of the leaders of the rebellion and accepted the invitation.

    The Liao State organized the remaining resentful troops into four battalions and appointed Guo Yaoshi, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, and Zhen Wuchen to lead them respectively.

    At that time, Yelu Yu saw this and suggested to Xiao Qian: "Two battalions rebelled the year before last, plundered Qianzhou, and have been recruited. This year, the whole army will rebel again and attack Jinzhou. If our army does not come, the city will be destroyed, and tens of thousands of residents will be killed."  . The so-called resentful army failed to complain to the Jin people, but they repeatedly complained to my family. If we take advantage of them and send troops to cover up and kill them, we will avoid future troubles forever."

    But Xiao Qian said: "There are also those who are loyal and righteous for a moment, so how can we kill them all?"

    Therefore, Guo Yaoshi and other talents were able to save their lives.

    But this was the beginning of the rebellion of the resentful army. After that, Guo Yaoshi dealt with the three kingdoms of Song, Liao and Jin. He once helped the Liao Kingdom defeat Tong Guan who went north. Then seeing that the Liao Kingdom was gone, he surrendered to the Song Kingdom and helped Tong Guan attack  Yanjing.  When the Jin State moved south, they saw that the Jin State was unstoppable, so they surrendered to the Jin State and led the Jin soldiers to attack Bianjing.

    It can be said that Pharmacist Guo is capricious and has no moral integrity.

    Of course, it didn¡¯t end well in the end. The first time the Jin invaded the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongwang used Guo Yaoshi to lead his troops to invade the Tokyo of the Song Dynasty. Seeing that Tokyo could not be conquered, the soldiers and horses of King Qin from various states came one after another, and they could only force Song Qinzong to cede three towns.  , and then withdrew his troops and returned to Yanjing.

    Wanyan Zongwang was naturally not at ease with this capricious army. He was also afraid that the Jin Kingdom would become a victim after the Liao and Song Kingdoms.  Immediately ordered the resentful army to disarm and return to the fields, leaving thousands who were unwilling to disarm. The Jin soldiers asked the resentful army to hand over their weapons on the grounds of inspecting the equipment, and then a massacre ensued.

    Pharmacist Guo survived, but was never appointed again.

    Yelu Yanxi looked around at the generals and said, "Yel¨¹ Dashi and Wu Yanguang, you two will be the vanguard."

     Wu Yanguang was the first general in the Liao Kingdom. He was proficient in all eighteen kinds of martial arts, and he was familiar with all military strategies.  He is thirty-five or six years old, has a dignified appearance, a majestic body, and a figure of more than eight feet. He has a white face, red lips, a yellow beard and green eyes, and a majestic appearance.  When going into battle, he used iron bars and steel spears to kill in dense areas. From time to time, he would pull out the iron mace on his waist and make a clanging sound, which showed that he had the courage that no man would be worthy of.

    Originally fighting against the Jin in the north, the King of Nanyuan learned that Yelu Yanxi was going to fight in person, and he was afraid that the emperor would make a mistake, so he hurriedly transferred Wu Yanguang to the south to escort him.

    After receiving the general's order, the two men immediately led their troops onto the pontoon bridge and headed to the south bank.

    As soon as we crossed the river, we saw dozens of soldiers and horses on horseback coming to investigate.

    The general who is about to come has the flag clearly written "No Feather Arrow" Zhang Qing, the deputy general on the left is Hua Xianghu Gong Wang, and the deputy general on the right is "Zhongjian Hu Ding Desun".

    Zhang Qing is a commander under Lu Junyi's command and is in charge of sentry duty today.

    Zhang Qing watched the Liao soldiers crossing the river and sent his sentry to the river.

    Wu Yanguang's vanguard Qiongyao Nayan and Kou Zhenyuan were sworn brothers. They were thinking of avenging their brothers. When they saw Zhang Qingshao coming, they immediately rode up to greet them.

    I saw Qiong Yao Nayan wearing an iron crown with fishtail cirrus clouds on her head, dragon-scale frost-stitched armor, a pomegranate red embroidered robe, a lychee seven-treasure gold belt tied around her waist, and green eagle-beak gold thread boots on her feet.  A whip made of silver-melted bamboo and cooked steel hangs from the waist.  A hard bow is inserted on the left, and a long arrow is hung on the right.  Horses cross ridges and mountains, beasts cross mountains, spears cross rivers and stir up sea dragons.

    Nayan, the virtuous demon, rode up to meet him and shouted, "Do the southerners dare to go to war?"

    Zhang Qingshao came forward, just to make a contribution. He immediately asked Gong Wang, Ding Desun and others to stop, and he rode up to meet them.

    Seeing Zhang Qing approaching, Qiong Yao Nayan thought Zhang Qing was about to fight, so he came to fetch Zhang Qing with his gun drawn.

    When they were more than three feet away, Zhang Qing raised his right hand and shouted "Hold on!"

    A flying stone hit Qiong Yao Nayan right in the face. Qiong Yao Nayan couldn't bear the pain and fell off his horse.

    Zhang Qing rushed forward and shot again, stabbing Qiong Yao Nayan to death under his horse.  (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!)
