    Outside the ruins of Yingzhou City Fortress, there is already a tent of leather tents reaching to the sky.  Arms of various colors, flags of various colors, and horses in various costumes are setting up camp, patrolling, or recharging their energy in the camp.  For a moment, within sight, there were no less than 10,000 or 20,000 elite members of the Jurchen headquarters alone.  Each of them raised their own flags and danced to cover up the sun, showing the fierceness of the army.  "Except for these money rat tails, the thick and strong elite of the Jurchen headquarters.  There are also various tribes under the Jurchen rule who serve in the army.  The largest number were the thirty-year-old Tatars from Monan who were recruited from the grasslands. They wore leather robes and had shaggy hair.  He holds a horned bow and rides on a short, sturdy and durable mount.  The tribes were used as military settlements, and they set up their own scattered so-called camps based on the Jurchen military tents.  Groups of sheep and horses were also raised in the camp, which were the rations for the army. The sheep neighed and the horses croaked, living together with people, and the smell was like a dung heap.  The Jurchen West Route Army is no better than the East Route Army. The East Route Army occupies the heartland of the Liao people, and recruits a larger number of tribal auxiliary troops.  Mainly Bohai people, supplemented by Goryeo, Xi people, and even a small number of Khitan and Han troops.  This made the Jurchen East Route Army larger than the West Route Army, and had considerable baggage and attack equipment.  In addition to field battles, the Eastern Route Army also has considerable capabilities to conquer fortified cities.  As for the Jurchen West Route Army, the tribal auxiliary troops recruited can only be mainly from the tribes that were the predecessors of the Mongolian Empire on the grassland, especially the Mongolian tribes in southern Mongolia.  These auxiliary soldiers who grew up on horseback certainly enhanced Zong Han's field combat capabilities, but their ability to build strongholds and attack fortified cities was still quite lacking.  In addition to these military horses that are the core of the battle, there are also a larger number of Cangtou pressure and other auxiliary troops. They are either cutting wood and gathering wood in groups, or leading groups of horses to drink water and take care of them.  They are also responsible for all the hard labor and chores in the camp.  There is no strict order among these Cangtou, and they are used as cannon fodder when facing a battle.  It's just hard labor on weekdays.  There is no other source of food except looting.  This time the Jurchen West Route Army was forcefully dispatched in late winter, and the scale was huge.  There was not enough food.  When they arrived at Yingzhou, there was nothing to plunder, and these Cangtou suppressed the settlements.  Dozens or hundreds of corpses are carried out every day.  Those who have been with the Jurchen army for a long time and have some qualifications are better off. The most miserable ones are the Han people who were forcibly recruited in Datong Prefecture in Xijing. They are the bottom layer of the Jurchen oppression system. Corpses will be found every day, most of which are the hundreds of people who perished in the clouds.  Over the past few years, generations of Han people have been ridden by foreign masters.  As for the Jurchens, no matter how many Han people died, they would not even blink an eye.  Such chaos and hustle and bustle.  The smelly camp has already filled the open space near Yingzhou City Fortress.  There is a steady stream of troops and horses coming from the north every day.  When we arrived here, we saw the ruins of the fortress that had been burned to the ground, and the sight of the Cangtou suppressants fighting for food every day.  Anyone who has some experience in marching operations will know that such a large army must not delay in Yingzhou, which is like a dead place. It must go south as soon as possible!  On Longshou Village, a pure black wool tower has been erected to represent Zong Han's presence.  Hundreds of thousands of Zonghan personally led the Meng'an Jurchen bodyguards and arranged them layer by layer along the mountain road.  Guarding their supreme commander.  At this moment, Zong Han was standing upright on the edge of the cliff.  Looking down at his thousands of troops at his feet.  Behind Zong Han, stood a group of Jurchen generals.  Wanyan Pu's slave, Wanyan Zongqian.  Wanyan Xiyin, Pucha Wulie, Yelu Yujian, Olu, Zanlan are all the choices of the moment.  The two vanguard generals who were the first to penetrate deeply into Yunnei, Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Yinshuke, were also among the serving generals.  Wanyan Lou's room was still well, and he looked as usual among the generals, and from time to time he would talk quietly with others.  Wanyan Lou's family had great military exploits and good popularity.  And the bloodline is very expensive.  This time we went deep into Yunnei, but we finally had a stalemate with the Song army and had to retreat.  It is also a crime of being at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and not a crime of war.  And it also firmly protects dozens of mountain passes from the direction of Yingzhou.  position among the generals.  Still among the top three.  But Yin Shuke stood in fear of the generals with his head lowered, and few people were willing to look at him.  Even Wanyan Xiyin, who was very polite to Yin Shuke for a while, acted arrogantly in front of Yin Shuke.  Originally, silver skills were not valued by generals because of their low background.  In terms of comparison, he is only a step above the generals such as Yelu Yujian and others.  However, Zong Han valued his reliable silver skills and his solid military exploits, and was repeatedly entrusted with important responsibilities.  The other Jurchen generals have already discussed it in private.  But even Yin Shuke, who had made great contributions to the destruction of the Liao Dynasty, suffered repeated setbacks after encountering the enemy of the Southern Dynasty.  In the first battle of Yandi, Zonghan asked him to help set up a joint army to make meritorious service. This was definitely a loving and respectful treatment that could only be given to a close general.  As a result, Yin Shuke's army was almost wiped out, and Shi Hema's life was also lost.  Everyone knows Zong Han¡¯s preference for setting up horses.  When Shi Hema was killed in battle, Zong Han not only killed all the guards of Shi Hema who had escaped, but also mourned for four or five days before he could do anything.?Recover!  And Zong Han forced the Jurchens to launch a large-scale attack on the Southern Dynasties - much earlier than the real history.  There may not be any intention of revenge for setting up the horse. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? When Zonghan let Yin Shuke go that time, it was still an encounter with a great general under his command.  This made more Jurchen generals increasingly dissatisfied and angry.  Zong Han was brilliant in everything, but he was blind when it came to silver skills.  If someone from this small group of people were to come to our heads in the future, wouldn't it make people so angry that they would explode in their stomachs?  Yin Shu can once again invite Ying to attack Yunnei in winter, opening the way for the army to go south and penetrate deep.  I don't know how many people are praying secretly behind their backs, hoping that Yin Shu will suffer another bad luck. ???????????????????? Prayers are fulfilled, although Yin Shu can finally capture the key pass of Yingzhou, but more than half of his troops and horses were lost, and his vitality was seriously damaged.  That's all. An important enemy figure who was originally surrounded like a metal barrel was rescued by dozens of Qingqi.  During the siege conducted by Yin Shuke, he also injured two to three hundred Jurchen athletes, several generals were killed in the battle, and he was captured alive by the Southern Dynasty generals!  He didn't know how to beg for his life, so the generals of the Southern Dynasty left him a way to survive.  How could such a person not be a disgrace to the Jurchen generals?  Fortunately, he still has the nerve to rank with the generals!  Zong Han personally led the army and set up the royal tent in Longshou Village.  For a while, there was no silver skill, and the generals were summoned to discuss matters today.  All generals know that in the white land of Yingzhou, there is not much food and material available, and what can be transported from the rear is very limited. There is no way to stay here.  Today Zonghan is discussing matters.  It is inevitable to launch a large army, regardless of the muddy roads caused by the spring rain.  Forced to go south, seize the Yunnei states as a place for the army to rest and garrison.  It is close to the edge of Hedong in the south.  Whenever a large army is dispatched, there must be actions to motivate the troops and horses.  Yin Shuke, a general who was defeated and captured like this, should kill Ji Tian!  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~ While the generals are waiting quietly with their own thoughts on their minds.  Zong Han, who was wearing armor and a fox fur cloak, finally withdrew his gaze and turned around.  He said hello: "Loushi!" Wanyan Loushi responded loudly and stepped forward.  Zong Han patted his shoulder closely and asked: "Lou Shi. You met those Southern Dynasty troops and horses. What do you think of them?" Wanyan Lou Shi thought for a moment and solemnly said: "Not weak! Let's fight now.  He can counterattack with our Jurchen men, and his fighting spirit never fades. I think it is a lie, and he is well-equipped with heavy armor and sharp soldiers and horses.  The crossbows reach far and are powerful. I often bump into their horses. The southerners each have two horses, and some even have three horses. They are all equipped with sharp weapons.  The arrows are all made of steel! We can shoot them even if we are wearing double armor at a distance of fifty or sixty steps!" Zong Han nodded and asked again: "How many horses are there in this southern army?  ?" Wanyan Loushi replied: "After fighting with this Southern army for so long, there are only seven or eight students who are willing to spit, but I know a lot about this Southern army.  The number of the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army is that of the army in Yandi. There are at least 50,000 cavalry troops in front of us.  The majority of them are already strong, with tens of thousands of soldiersZong Han. Even if the southern army is of this caliber, we have to fight steadily!"  When Wanyan Lou's room confirmed that this southern army was the one that killed his beloved son, Zong Han's face suddenly became frosty.  After listening to what Yan Loushi said solemnly.  Zong Hancai sneered: "Have you never had any dealings with the Southerners? Just a few troops deployed by Liao Gou Yanjing and Yun Nei. They are not even powerful armies, but they have suppressed the Southerners for hundreds of years."  . The millions of soldiers of the Southerners are nothing more than a bunch of rubbish! This mighty and ever-victorious army is just an anomaly. If they are defeated, it will be like the battle of Guarding Dagang, and the Southerners will be frightened from now on.  !¡± Zong Han is indeed an important figure who participated in the maritime alliance between the Song Dynasty and the Jurchens, and his identification of the Song Dynasty is quite accurate.  When the Liao Kingdom was in its prime, none of the elite troops of the Liao emperors were placed in Yandi, Nanjing, or Datong Prefecture, Xijing.  These most elite main forces are concentrated in Zhongjing and Shangjing.  When Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty conquered Yan, the Nanjing headquarters garrison held off the siege of the elite imperial troops in the early Song Dynasty.  Then the elite main force was transferred from Beijing to Beijing and went south. They cooperated internally and externally, and defeated nearly 200,000 Song Dynasty imperial troops in one fell swoop.  At the time of Chanyuan, it was a rare opportunity for the Liao people to mobilize the elite main force of the Liao people from the five capitals and penetrate deep into the territory of the Song Dynasty.  For a time, they were galloping around, and the Song Dynasty could only defend the city.  In the end, Song Zhenzong relied on his personal conquest and accidentally shot Xiao Dalin to death before a peace agreement was reached.  Basically, the entire century-old history of the confrontation between Song and Liao was dominated by the two armies of the Liao in Xijing and Nanjing, which overwhelmed the entire Song Dynasty.  However, the Jurchens actually defeated the most core members of the Liao people, such as Zhongjing and Shangjing, in one battle.??'s elite main force!  Even if the Song Dynasty took advantage of Yanjing, it would suffer a huge defeat at the hands of Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian.  Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian commanded nothing more than some Liao embers.  Even though there was a disastrous defeat at Gaolianghe, a large army was out for a long time. After destroying the Later Han Dynasty, they forcibly restored Yanyun.  The army was exhausted, morale was low, and the rewards for destroying the Han Dynasty were not forthcoming.  And Song Taizong made another series of blind commands, which finally ruined the elite of the Central Forbidden Army that had been inherited from the Five Dynasties.  The Chanyuan period was the only time when the Liao people came close to overthrowing the country. By that time, the Song Dynasty was already deeply entrenched in the nobility and military power. The defense lines in Hebei were not yet completed. The entire Song Dynasty cavalry was already weak because all the horse-producing areas were lost.  pole.  Among the plains of Hebei, they were indeed not an elite opponent of the Liao people. They could only resist with fortified cities, and finally concluded a peace treaty by luck.  As for Tong Guan¡¯s expedition against Yan, the Western Army¡¯s expedition lasted longer than the one in the early Song Dynasty.  People's thoughts return.  However, Tong Guan and the generals of the Western Army fought openly and secretly, but spent more than half of their energy on trying to get each other in trouble, which led to a major defeat.  There are objective reasons, but overall.  Militarily, the Liao Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak - even weaker than just one line.  This is an indisputable fact.  The Jurchens¡¯ combat power has completely surpassed that of the Liao Kingdom.  The so-called strong army of the Song Dynasty means that even if a powerful and victorious army emerges, what will happen?  Defeat this divine and ever-victorious army.  Then the entire Song Dynasty would be helpless!  On this point.  Zong Han's faith has never wavered.  But it is inevitable that I am a little confused, why did a divine and victorious army appear among the people of Song Dynasty that could fight in the northern fields?  ??Actually, this is nothing complicated.  First, Xiao Yan's Shenwu Victory Army had a very good foundation. The Bailu soldiers and the Shengjie army were both elite field warriors of the Western Army, and their combat effectiveness was already at a level that was at the forefront of the Song Dynasty.  Guo Yaoshi's Chang Shengjun was also trained in many battles fought in Yandi.  As men who grew up in the fierce folk customs of the Song and Liao border areas, the Hebei dare warriors are by no means inferior to the Shaanxi men who have been fighting with Xixia all year round.  Don¡¯t you think in real history, how many famous generals and soldiers were born in Hebei dare warriors?  The second is that the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army has achieved a series of miraculous victories under the leadership of Xiao Yan.  Break the earth.  Kexion City.  A strong army is a monster that can only be fed by continuous victory.  With such a foundation and such a record, what kind of strong army cannot be tempered?  The third thing is that the equipment can keep up. The Song Dynasty was originally rich.  Weapons, armor, bows and crossbows, all kinds of military supplies, are available as much as you want.  There was also Xiao Yan who came all the way and grabbed and hugged her.  There is never a shortage of military supplies.  Moreover, during the battle against Yan and the battle near Yunnei, Xiao Yan also had considerable horse resources and could support a fine cavalry.  As a strong army that cannot completely surpass the times, strong armor and strong military strength are also very important for confidence.  The fourth is the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army, which has always been under the control of Xiao Yan alone.  The generation of civil servants and officials.  Never able to reach in.  Once he started to reach out, Xiao Yan flipped the fucking table.  Although it is inevitable that there will be ridicule from warlords, it is hard to say that there will be any changes in the long run.  But for a time, the cohesion and centripetal force of this Shenwu victorious army were unmatched by anyone in the Song Dynasty.  Even in the Western Army, there are also many generals and families who are intertwined. Sometimes they will consider their own strength and compete for glory in the battle.  The current Shenwu Evervictorious Army is much simpler, just fighting to the death.  Naturally, King Yan will take care of the rest for them.  An army with a simple mind is often a very capable army.  The last point is somewhat unreasonable to outsiders.  Xiao Yan had a miraculous rise and was now King Yan of the Song Dynasty.  As a person of this era, how come you don¡¯t have some desire to follow the dragon?  Fighting to the death today may lead to eternal wealth in the future.  at this time.  It¡¯s time to earn a share of the family fortune for your children and grandchildren!  Because of this, the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army has not been established for a long time.  But it is indeed the most capable field group in the Song Dynasty, the entire Western Army.  Everyone is stunned!  Wanyan Zonghan naturally had no way of knowing the inside story of how these various chances and coincidences created a strong army.  But for this famous Jurchen handsome man, there is no need to think too hard.  Now that such a powerful and victorious army has emerged, find them and crush them!  Looking at Zong Han¡¯s determined expression, Wanyan Loushi knew there was no need to say more.  The commander-in-chief is determined, and as a general, just act resolutely.  Any more talk will only disturb the morale of the army.  For Wanyan Loushi himself, why wouldn't he want to have a good fight with such a powerful enemy?  Perhaps as Zong Han said, the war in the Southern Dynasties was just like the Battle of Hubu Dagang. One battle would determine the fate of the entire empire.  The entire Jurchen army guarding Dagang is no more than 10,000, but now the entire West Route Army has more than 60,000 Jurchen elites and auxiliary troops who can go into battle!  There are countless more people like the old man with his head pressed down and his servant strong!  Then let¡¯s fight!  Seeing Wanyan Loushi¡¯s excited and eager look to challenge, Zong Han smiled with satisfaction: ¡°Louchi, it¡¯s okay to give some of the credit to other generals. Your men have also worked hard on this trip south  Covering the southbound passage is a great achievement.  When the time comes, a certain nature will reward you heavily!  " Wanyan Lou's room has always been arranged by Zong Han, and he has carried out it without any complaints. After hearing Zong Han's order, he bowed silently and retreated into the ranks of the generals. The smile on Zong Han's face gradually faded, and his eyes were on  Scanning the faces of the generals one by one, the generals who turned out to be a little sloppy couldn't help but stand up straight, with solemn expressions. Zong Han's eyes finally fell on Yin Shuke's face and waved to him.  Yin Shuke finally raised his head and walked forward slowly. The eyes of countless people fell on him. Zong Han said coldly: "What else do you have to say?  " Yin Shuke shook his head. After gritting his teeth for a long time, he finally said, "General, I have nothing to say.  Zong Han killed the general's head, and the general only felt at ease.  The only thing you want.  Just a pawn in the vanguard, fighting to the death with the Southerners!  " Many of the generals sneered. This is the situation. If you are a man, just stand up and take the blame. Still begging for life like a woman, Zong Han really misjudged this slave that day! Zong Han was silent for a moment,  It seems that he is still weighing whether to chop off Yin Shuke's head at this moment. The Jurchens' military methods are harsh, and Yin Shuke has been defeated in a row. If he does not strictly follow his military rules, he is afraid that the generals will secretly dissatisfy him as the commander-in-chief.  Yin Shuke, personally promoted him to this point, and did not even blame him for the death of his beloved son Shi Hema. Now it seems that he has misjudged this person. Does Yin Shu know that his life is hanging by a thread?  , he is not afraid of death. But he must not die now! As a Jurchen man, the humiliation at the hands of the Southerners has not been washed away. Even if he dies, he will be reincarnated as a pig and dog in the next life.  The high-spiritedness that I haven¡¯t seen in these days: ¡°Zong Han!  Give the general another chance!  The last general fought with the army of the Southern Dynasty for the longest time and suffered the most bitterly.  He is the one who knows them best!  In the coming war, it will definitely be a tough battle with this Southern Dynasty army, and the general will come in handy!  After defeating this Southern Dynasty army horse.  The last general cut his own neck in front of Zong Han to atone for his previous sin!  "The generals behind finally let out a loud sneer. Wanyan Xiyin was especially loud. All kinds of ridiculing words swept in. In an instant, Yin Shuke was almost drowned. "Yin Shuke, you can be considered the same.  Why are we Jurchens so cowardly?  Just die with peace of mind. Looking at your past achievements, I can still take care of the tent you left behind.  Now it seems that I don¡¯t need to share this favor with you!  " "Silver skills are good, and I have killed Liao dogs side by side with you.  Now I can give you good advice, even if you die!  What's behind you.  I helped you cook.  Otherwise, even if you save a life, I will see you once.  Just spit on you once.  Think about it yourself and live like this.  Nothing interesting?  " "What achievements are made are nothing more than the lives of our really good sons and daughters.  I saw with my own eyes in Yingzhou that some internal troops had already opened the city gate, but Shang Zi gave random orders and risked the lives of five or six hundred men to take the city fortress.  He even let the southern generals escape to Longshou Village!  Not to mention that he later knelt down and begged for his life before the southern generals.  I am really ashamed to have fought with this guy!  " The last sentence was exactly what Wanyan Xiyin said with a look of disdain. His army's troops were weaker because they fought less hard battles and captured less. He was eyeing Yin Shu, but the army of his headquarters was weak.  The remaining soldiers and horses have spent a lot of effort to hook them up under their own command. Now they are eager to kill the master of Yin Shu. Seeing the great power of the Southern Dynasty, this is a hundred times more powerful than the territory currently occupied by the West Route Army.  The stronger the army and horses are, the more talent they will receive! No matter how the generals scolded him, Yin Shu still tried his best to stand up straight and look at Zong Han steadily.  He had never stood so straight before. Only his ugly face with deep scars could not help but twitch, revealing how excited he was in his heart. Zong Han pondered for a long time in silence, and finally waved his hand: "You."  The crime is very serious and you can no longer lead the Jurchen army.  Hand over your own troops and horses and distribute them among the generals.  I asked you to lead an army of 30 Tatars from Monan, think of them as a wandering army.  If you fight again, it will be unfavorable. You don¡¯t have to come to see me anymore and I¡¯ll cut off my head Yin Shuke, I am thinking of your past merits and feelings and will tolerate you one last time!  " After Zong Han made his decision, the generals were a little dissatisfied, but they were unable to object. Yin Shu was deprived of his troops and horses, and he was considered a lost dog. From now on, the generals will no longer have to see this small-time servant in their ranks.  The slave's face is ugly. However, there are still more than a thousand people in the Yin Shu Ke headquarters. They are all strong troops who have always fought hard in the front line.  A big piece of fat! Yin Shu doesn't care about him anymore, so he can crush him to death just for any reason.?We must work harder to carve up the property of these military horses!  After Zong Han finished dealing with Yin Shu, he waved his hand and asked him to retreat to Longshou Village.  There is no place for him here anymore.  Yin Shuke saluted Zong Han proudly and retreated silently.  The generals just watched with cold eyes. Only Wanyan Loushi accompanied Yin Shuke for a while.  When Wanyan Lou¡¯s room was full of love and transferred to the class.  Zong Han glanced at the generals and suddenly pointed at the thousands of troops and horses at his feet.  "When I raised my troops, did I have such a powerful army?" The generals relaxed their throats: "No!" "When I destroyed the Liao, I fought the hardest battle, and I was also the one who captured the emperor of the Liao people. But  Are you convinced that they were driven to this remote place? "The gap between the Jurchen West Route Army and the East Route Army is obvious.  The East Route Army now occupies the land blessed by the Liao people, while the West Route Army eats mutton near the desert grasslands.  How can these warriors be convinced by this?  Zong Han pushed hard for the war against the Song Dynasty, and his generals always followed him with determination!  The roar resounded in Longshou Village, shaking the mountains: "How can we be convinced? How can we be convinced!" Zong Han suddenly shouted: "Then each of you will take charge of your own troops and go south. Defeat the Southern Dynasty to someone, and kill that one.  The Shenwu Changsheng Army was crushed! Avenge Shehema! Turn the land of the Southern Dynasty into a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood! Let those southerners be the servants of the Jurchens forever!" The generals suddenly accepted the order and turned around to go down the mountain.  And countless horns were whining in Longshou Village at this moment, resounding throughout the countryside.  Thousands of fierce Jurchen army horses emerged from countless military tents, waving their weapons toward Longshou Stronghold and cheering loudly!  Head south!  southward!  Halfway up the mountainside, Yin Shuke was walking alone, his ugly face twisted, and he was holding the handle of the knife at his waist tightly, roaring silently.  Head south!  (To be continued)
