Chapter 253 Khitan suffered a heavy blow and Jurchen rose!
Liao.
Guarding the steps.
The wind is cold and the winter in the north is even colder than in Kaifeng.
"kill!"
The shouts and cries of killing were deafening, and the sudden arrival of the Jurchen pursuers threw the Liao army of 100,000 into chaos.
Yelu Hongji watched helplessly as thousands of Jurchen Iron Pagodas rushed towards his central army.
Yelu Hongji could hardly believe his eyes.
Since a month ago, when Yelu Hongji learned that the Jurchen Wanyan tribe had rebelled because of the lifestyle of the Liao envoys and almost occupied Liaodong, he became furious and gathered a hundred thousand troops, claiming to have three hundred thousand, preparing to wipe out the Jurchen Wanyan tribe in one fell swoop.
What are the Jurchens?
It was just Yelu Hongji's dog, providing Yelu Hongji with ginseng, deer antlers, Saker Falcons, pearls, sable furs, and even horses.
When the Liao envoys went to the Jurchen tribe, the noble women of the Jurchen tribe had to serve as hostesses, eating, drinking and sleeping with them.
Even when Yelu Hongji was young, he went to the Jurchen Wanyan tribe. In a word, the leader of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe had to sing and dance for him to make him laugh.
But now, the dog has killed its master!
Damn it, this is intolerable!
Yelu Hongji immediately sent an army of 100,000 to attack the Jurchen Wanyan tribe.
The strength of the Jurchen Wanyan tribe has greatly increased in recent years, but even with everyone mobilizing as a soldier, there are only 20,000 people. Wanyan Aguda temporarily avoided the limelight and did not engage in a head-on battle with the Liao army. He prepared to wait for the "turn of destiny" predicted by Murong Bo, the leader of the Jurchen Murong tribe and the great sage teacher of the Jurchens.
The sudden rebellion of the Jurchens this time was entirely caused by Murong Bo dragging the Jurchens into the rebellion.
At the beginning, Murong Bo killed a group of Liao envoys on the grounds that they molested women, which made Wanyan Aguda dumbfounded.
No, buddy, we Jurchens are not Han people, and we don’t have any concept of chastity at all. If you are willing, my wife can sleep with you!
Is it necessary to offend the Liao Kingdom for this?
As a result, Murong Bo directly took out a piece of paper, summoned the Jurchen tribes, and stated the "Seven Great Hates"!
To sum up, the Khitans are the worst of beasts and have gone too far in bullying others. It’s time for everyone to take revenge and strike back with heavy punches!
Not to mention, the Khitans bullied the Jurchens really harshly. When Murong Bo started to talk about the "Seven Great Hates", all the Jurchen tribes were united in hatred of the enemy and were filled with righteous indignation.
There's nothing wrong with a woman sleeping with a Khitan, but how could he sleep with a woman and then take food and things from her house?
Taking things, this is what really makes people hate you!
Is ginseng so easy to dig?
Is it so easy to pick Dongzhu?
Is it so easy to catch a Saker Falcon?
Is it so easy to raise a horse?
The Jurchens worked so hard for fishing and hunting, but the Khitans took away 70% of what they got, leaving only 30% for the Jurchens. And even this 30% depended on their mother's mood!
In fact, all the Jurchen tribes begged for food on their knees, but the Wanyan tribe had the most beautiful kneeling posture, so it was able to grow and become stronger.
But it would be a lie to say that I have no resentment.
Murong Bo relied on his personal prestige and accurately hit the pain points of the Jurchens, which made the Jurchens united in hatred of the enemy. Wanyan Aguda could only say that Teacher Murong Bo was right, especially the good expression of the seven major hatreds... I say the same... I feel the same!
Just when Wanyan Aguda thought that he was going to be usurped and was about to fight with his master Murong Bo, Murong Bo unexpectedly nominated Wanyan Aguda as the leader of the rebellion and himself as the military advisor, and came up with a three-step plan.
The first step is to beat the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom cannot withstand the beating, then split off from Liaodong, establish the Great Jin Kingdom, and force the Liao Emperor to enthrone.
The second step is to attack the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom resists and the fight is evenly matched, then we can plan for the Jiedushi to govern themselves. The future benefits cannot be divided 30% to 70%, but 50% to 50%.
The third step is to attack the Liao Kingdom. If the Liao Kingdom attacks back, we will hide in the mountains and forests and wait for the Liao Kingdom to withdraw.
Anyway, the Liao Kingdom couldn't keep wasting time. The Jurchens were originally a fishing and hunting people who could endure the bitter cold and hide in the old forests. The Khitans could only vent their anger symbolically and then leave.
After everyone thought about it, they felt that Teacher Murong Bo was right, so they listened to him!
One good thing about the Jurchens is that everyone is very equal.
The Jurchens' system of deliberation was that everyone sat down and came up with ideas together.
The one with the lowest status goes out first, the one with the highest status goes out last, and then the minority obeys the majority.
This is to prevent those of lower status from making suggestions later and from contradicting those of higher status, which will ultimately lead to wrong decisions and delay the development of the entire tribe.
Therefore, the Jurchens were actually full of vitality, everything was flourishing, and their military technology was actually very advanced.
Murong Bo also relied on preaching and teaching martial arts. He was powerful, could treat people, and understood veterinary medicine. He had great prestige in the Jurchen tribe, so he could get a lot of support from everyone.
But Murong Bo was not very good at fighting, so he asked Wanyan Aguda to attack.
Moreover, Murong Bo told Aguda that the Liao Kingdom was just a broken house that would collapse with a kick, and he judged that the local prefectures and counties of the Liao Kingdom were actually vulnerable.
No one believed it at first, even Aguda didn't believe it.
The Liao Dynasty was powerful, it was a myth that lasted for a hundred years!
There had been rebellions among the Jurchens in the past, but they were all crushed by the powerful Liao Kingdom. How could the Liao Kingdom be weak?
These Jurchens have innocent eyes and wild beauty, but they are generally uneducated and naturally do not know how to look at problems from a development perspective.
But after Aguda really led the Jurchen tribes in rebellion, he himself was stunned. It turned out that the Khitans were really so weak?
As a result, the Jurchen tribes fought with great force and made rapid progress. They seemed to be in a trance and the Liaodong land and the Liao government quickly collapsed.
The power of the Jurchen tribes expanded rapidly, and they recruited many familiar Jurchens and Bohai people.
Murong Bo was also devoted to expanding the Jurchen Murong tribe. The population and wealth of the Murong tribe were greatly increased, but everyone was convinced because Murong Bo's predictions were all correct, which was a great achievement.
Although Murong Bo did not know how to fight, he was very brave. He could ride on a horse and point at the Liao general from a distance and kill him. The Jurchens who saw it all shouted "Baturu, Teacher Murong Bo is the number one Baturu of the Jurchens."
Wanyan Aguda was a smart man and wanted to know why the Liao Kingdom was so weak.
Murong Bo said: "I believe in Buddhism, but you see that the Liao Dynasty temples have so much money, does the court still have money?"
After Wanyan Aguda confiscated a temple, he agreed with it deeply and remembered firmly that one should not believe in Buddhism.
Until Yelu Hongji's army arrived, the Jurchens were panicking, and even Aguda was unsure. But Teacher Murong Bo was brave and said calmly:
"Don't be afraid, Yelu Hongji, you are just a pile of dry bones in the grave!"
"Don't fight him head-on yet. Use your strength to counter the enemy. Soon, your destiny will turn around!"
Aguda did as he was told.
Sure enough, early this morning, Yelu Hongji hurried back to the court, as if something big had happened.
After investigation, they captured Liao prisoners and questioned them, and found out that it was the emperor's uncle Yelu Chongyuan who took the opportunity to rebel, stabbed Yelu Hongji in the back, and had already occupied Shangjing.
Yelu Hongji's family members were all in Shangjing, and the families of all the generals and soldiers were also in Shangjing. The military morale was unstable, so Yelu Hongji had no choice but to let Aguda go.
Murong Bo said at this time: "At this time, we should pursue the Liao army and go straight to the Liao army, and we will surely win a great victory!"
Aguda believed it. So, all 20,000 Jurchen troops pursued the Liao army and went all in.
The retreating Liao army was already in a state of uncertainty, and encountered this unexpected blow. The Jurchen soldiers were as ferocious as wolves and tigers. The Liao army was in chaos, the command system collapsed, and the Liao army fought on their own, and signs of defeat were apparent.
Aguda personally led a thousand iron floats and rushed towards the Liao army's center.
The Liao army's center was in chaos, and Yelu Hongji was even frightened.
Aguda had seen Yelu Hongji when he was a child. He was overjoyed and pointed at Yelu Hongji and said, "Capture the Liao emperor alive. The bearded man is Yelu Hongji!"
Seeing the iron float rushing towards him, aiming directly at him, the confused Yelu Hongji finally reacted.
As the Son of Heaven, he cannot fall into the hands of barbarians.
At that moment, Yelu Hongji jumped on his horse and ran away, cutting off his thick beard with a knife as he ran.
When the Khitan soldiers saw the emperor running away, they also ran away in an instant. Their defeat was like a landslide.
By the time of Yelu Hongji, the Liao Dynasty was actually already a broken ship. The reason it was still able to hold on was because it did not encounter strong storms and waves.
And now, the storm is coming.
Yelu Hongji, who prided himself on being brave and heroic, revealed his true nature at this moment. He was not a strong and unyielding master. Instead of waving his arms and shouting "fight", he fled in panic and even cut off his beloved beard.
His cowardly performance caused the Khitan army's morale to completely collapse.
"The one in the yellow cloak is Yelu Hongji!" Wanyan Aguda continued to shout. He was determined to catch Yelu Hongji.
After all, the Liao Kingdom was too big. Although he defeated the main force of the Liao army, Aguda was still unsure. He had to capture Yelu Hongji. Only then did Aguda feel that he would have political capital.
Yelu Hongji galloped on his horse, quickly untied his cloak and threw it on the ground.
"The one wearing black armor is Yelu Hongji!" Aguda shouted as he led the chase.
This time, Yelu Hongji was at a loss.
He didn't dare take off his armor. On the battlefield, arrows have no eyes and he would inevitably be hit if he took off his armor.
In this way, Aguda and others chased, and Yelu Hongji fled in panic under the protection of his own soldiers, not daring to look back.
At this time, it was revealed that the Khitan emperor was more powerful than the Zhao emperor. The Zhao emperors all became artists in the end and could not escape at all. Only Zhao Gou was skilled in archery and horse riding and had first-class boat driving skills, so the Jin people could not catch him even if they searched the mountains and seas.
The Khitan emperors' four seasons of hunting actually meant that they took turns hunting in the territory every year to train their riding and shooting skills. When they ran, they were as fast as the wind.
The Jurchens also had a hard time chasing them.
Unfortunately, Yelu Hongji was not as fast as his grandson Yelu Yanxi in running. As he was running, he saw Aguda catching up with him.
"It's all over!" Yelu Hongji was filled with grief.
At this moment, Yelu Hongji saw more than ten Khitan warriors riding towards him. Suddenly, the leading Khitan warrior jumped up from his horse, and quickly approached Yelu Hongji as if flying in the air. He landed on the ground and slapped his palm. With the power of his palm, he was faster than a thousand-mile horse and quickly came in front of Yelu Hongji.
At this time, Wanyan Aguda and others had also approached, and the fully armed Tiefutu was indestructible.
But the Khitan warrior clapped his palms together and combined the power of his palms with the previous power, making a sound like a dragon's roar. The horses of Aguda and others were frightened, and Aguda was knocked off the horse's back by the palm power.
But Aguda's armor withstood the attack, and he was also extremely brave. He actually turned over and stared at the Khitan warrior who suddenly appeared. Seeing that the other party was tall and looked like a god, he was shocked and said, "I didn't expect that there would be such a warrior among the Khitan people!"
"Xiao Feng is late in arriving to protect the emperor, and the emperor is frightened. Your Majesty, please retreat first. I will stop the pursuers!" said the warrior.
This brave warrior was none other than Xiao Feng.
"My dear Lord Xiao, you came at the right time. I must make you a high official! At least the King of the Southern Courtyard!" After making this promise, Yelu Hongji continued to run at full speed.
As for Xiao Feng, he faced the cavalry alone. His powerful Dragon Subduing Palm was so powerful that he struck one palm after another, forcibly preventing the Jurchen Iron Buddha from advancing an inch.
After Yelu Hongji walked away, Xiao Feng dodged and entered the Iron Pagoda, and directly grabbed Wanyan Aguda with his dragon claw hand.
He was willing to spend huge amounts of energy to use the power of the Dragon Subduing Palm to fight against the Iron Pagoda in order to give Yelu Hongji time to escape. Now he planned to capture the leader first.
But Wanyan Aguda was also extraordinary. He was born with supernatural powers and learned Shaolin martial arts from Murong Bo. He immediately fought back with the "Great Vajra Pestle".
The surrounding Jurchen cavalry also came to the rescue. Even though Xiao Feng was as brave as a god, he was unable to defeat Wanyan Aguda for the time being.
He was even more surprised that Wanyan Aguda knew Shaolin martial arts.
Suddenly, more Jurchen Tiefutu came from afar. It turned out that Wanyan Aguda was chasing them in a hurry and lost touch with the main force. Now the main force caught up with them.
Xiao Feng's expression changed, and he slapped the ground with a move called "Kuang Long You Hui", followed by a move called "Fei Long Zai Tian", and flew out, joining the Eighteen Riders of Yan Yun who were waiting for him, and then shouted: "Go!"
Immediately, Xiao Feng and the Eighteen Riders of Yanyun retreated like smoke. While retreating, Xiao Feng drew his bow like the moon and kept shooting arrows to delay Aguda's pursuit.
After all, Xiao Feng is not Murong Fu. Although the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms is powerful, it does not have the ability to break armor like the Six Meridians Divine Sword. Facing the small team of Tiefutu, he can still fight barely, but when the large force of Tiefutu arrives, Xiao Feng can only temporarily avoid the attack.
After chasing for more than a hundred feet, Aguda said, "No need to chase, we can't catch up. It seems that God will not destroy the Liao Lord. There is such a warrior among the Khitans, whose power is no less than that of the teacher. It seems that the Liao Kingdom is not so easy to destroy!"
After that, Aguda laughed again and said, "Teacher is really a god. His predictions were accurate. In the battle of Hubu Dagang, the main force of 100,000 Liao troops collapsed, and the Liao lord only escaped with his life. From then on, the offense and defense changed! The myth of the invincibility of the Khitan has been broken by us!"
Everyone shouted loudly with excitement. This battle demonstrated the power of the Jurchens and shattered the myth of the invincibility of the Khitans. It also had a huge political impact throughout the north.
"Hey, where is the teacher?" Aguda asked in surprise.
"The teacher is in the back receiving the Liao prisoners." Wanyan Wuqimai replied.
"."
Aguda was speechless. Why did his teacher look so cunning?
