Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 387 Evacuation from Taiyuan

The continuous autumn rain has been falling for more than ten days.

It was already dark, and the city of Taiyuan was peaceful at this moment.

Since the Song army occupied Datong, Yanmen, Ningwu and other places, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi led the army to try to conquer Yanmen and other places, but failed repeatedly. After that, Qu Duan led an army of 150,000 troops from Longmen into Hedong, and conquered Puzhou, Pingyang and other places. Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Loushi and others had already retreated to Taiyuan City, using this place as the command center.

After several wars, the current Taiyuan City is very dilapidated, but there are still many magnificent houses and courtyards in it.

Wanyan Zongwang lived in the home of a rich Han man. Of course, the rich man had already been killed by him, his wives and concubines had been taken by him, and his property had already belonged to him.

He was sleeping soundly, and at this moment there was a violent knock on the door, besides the knock on the door, there was also the sound of shouting.

"Who?" Wanyan Zongwang was awakened, and shouted in displeasure.

"Second prince, it's me! I have something important to report!" The people outside shouted hastily.

"So it's Oriyan, come in quickly!" After hearing the voice, Wanyan Zongwang was stunned and said.

It turned out that the person outside was the ever-victorious Jurchen general Wanyan Loushi, nicknamed Wanyan Oriyan.

When Wanyan Zongwang was sleeping, most people didn't dare to disturb him at all, and only Wanyan Loushi dared to knock on his door so rudely and shout loudly. He is very familiar with Wanyan Zongwang, so he doesn't have to worry about it. Of course, if it's not a particularly important matter, he won't be so concerned.

Wanyan Loushi opened the door and walked in, his whole body was already wet, his face was pale at the moment, and he looked very embarrassed.

"What happened?" Wanyan Zongwang asked in surprise.

"Second prince, something is wrong. I just got the news that the Song army in southern Shanxi suddenly went north, and they have conquered Jiexiu! Now they are marching towards Taigu. If they capture Taigu, the next step is Taiyuan city!" Wanyan Lou said.

"What?" Wanyan Zongwang stood up all of a sudden, and said in disbelief.

The Song army in southern Shanxi arrived in May, and it has been almost three months now, and they have not gone north! Unexpectedly, at this time, they started to head north!

"The number of the Song army in southern Shanxi has reached 150,000. If we go south to fight them, even if we can defeat them, the casualties will be extremely heavy! Moreover, I have another news to tell you, Your Highness." Wanyan Loushi took a deep breath With a sigh of relief, he said.

"Say it quickly!" Wanyan Zongwang said, feeling bad.

"The Song army from Datong, Yanmen Pass, and Ningwu Pass has gone south!" Wanyan Loushi said.

"Ah!" Wanyan Zongwang stayed there.

"They have conquered Yuanping, Xinzhou and other places, and they are not far from Taiyuan City! They also have a huge number of troops, close to 200,000 people!" Wanyan Loushi said.

"There are so many people in the Northern Song Army?" Wanyan Zongwang asked in disbelief.

Wanyan Loushi nodded.

In fact, only 100,000 Song soldiers went south from Datong and Yanmen Pass, and the remaining 100,000 were young people from the Production and Construction Corps.

"Your Highness, we need to leave Hedong! We can't stay here any longer!" Wanyan Loushi said.

Wanyan Zongwang put on his clothes and hurried outside the house. It was still raining heavily outside, but Wanyan Zongwang felt his heart was in a mess!

"We originally planned to enter Hebei, but now we have to speed up! The news we got is that the Song army has entered Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and entered Shandong and other places! But there are still Liu Yu's 300,000 troops in Hebei and Shandong. We After entering Hebei, we can join forces with the 300,000 troops. At that time, our troops will be close to 500,000, and we still have a vast land! At that time, we can still compete with the Song army! If it is not possible, We can also go north to enter the Sixteen States of Yanyun, and occupy the Sixteen States of Yanyun again! Although we cannot occupy the Central Plains, our territory is almost the same as that of the former Liao Kingdom! We are still the largest country in the world, and we will gradually expand in the future Clean up the Han people!" Wan Yan Lou Shi said.

"I was going to stay in Hedong for a while, waiting for the army on the prairie to arrive, but now it seems that I can't wait for them!" Wanyan Zongwang grabbed the pillar next to him and continued to force his fingernails into the pillar. He gritted his teeth and said .

"Yes! No one would have thought that the Song army would enter the grassland and defeat Wan Yanchang and the fourth prince! Wanyan Chang and the fourth prince will come to Datong and Yanmen at some point!" Wanyan Loushi Also sighed.

"The situation is so urgent that we have to leave Hedong immediately! Send the order, and the army will prepare immediately and leave the city overnight! Don't tell the boys about our evacuation from Hedong, and tell them when we are halfway." Wanyan Zongwang was silent for a long time , suddenly said.

"Okay!" Wanyan Loushi nodded.

Now if we tell those soldiers the news of the evacuation from Hedong, I am afraid that the soldiers will be in chaos and it will be difficult to organize them. Only after leaving Taiyuan City can we tell the soldiers.

"Your Highness, we robbed countless things from Hedong and stored them in Taiyuan City. What should we do with these things? Also, many of our family members are in Taiyuan City. What should we do?" Wanyan Lou Shi said.

"It's worth noting those belongings! Especially some gold and silver treasures, they are all useless! As for the family members... stay in Taiyuan City! The prince's family members also stay here!" Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth.

Over the years, the Jurchens fought in the Hedong and Guanshan areas, and many of their family members came here from Liaodong. There are also some Jurchens who rob Han women, occupy those Han women, and let these Han women bear children for them, and those are also their family members! Wanyan Zongwang himself has dozens of wives and concubines here, as well as four young children here, but now that Wanyan Zongwang is determined to leave, he feels that these family members are a drag on the march, so he wants to let them stay here.

"Second Prince, do you really want to abandon your family?" Wan Yan Lou Shi asked.

"We are going to evacuate from Hedong, and there will be an army of Han people chasing us. If we take these family members with us, we will die! Therefore, we must keep them there! Moreover, we have to cross Taihang Mountain and enter Hebei. The road to Taihang Mountain is extremely difficult, and these family members will suffer Don't get rid of those sufferings." Wanyan Zongwang said.

"Okay!" Wanyan Loushi nodded.

*** ***

Soon, the entire city of Taiyuan was full of noise.

Countless Jurchens were awakened. They put on clothes, armor, and weapons, and headed out of the city.

The Jurchens fight all year round, and emergency gatherings like this are also common.

In particular, the army under Wanyan Zongwang is now the most elite army among the Jurchens, and their assembly speed is much faster than that of the Jurchens in other places.

"Go and tell the garrison troops in Taigu, Qixian and other places to evacuate Hedong immediately!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"The last general has already ordered." Wan Yan Lou Shi said.

Wanyan Zongwang nodded, he was also wearing armor, and immediately left Taiyuan City first.

The army left Taiyuan City one after another.

Wanyan Zongwang rode on a horse, stood outside Taiyuan City, looking at Taiyuan City, his heart was full of emotions.

Six years ago, he led his troops into the Central Plains. At that time, he was invincible, invincible and invincible, but the Han people were vulnerable. The strongest clan army in the Song army was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of the Jurchen cavalry. The forbidden army fled after hearing the news, and none of the 800,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang played any role. At that time, every Jurchen felt that the world already belonged to them, and the Han people were destined to be enslaved by them.

Unexpectedly, only six years later, the Han people have undergone earth-shaking changes. The military strength of the Han people has greatly increased, and they have been defeated several times in Guanshan.

At this moment, their Jurchens were forced to withdraw from Hedong!

Wanyan Zongwang's face was sad, he gritted his teeth, swiped his whip and lashed the horse's buttocks hard, the horse led him galloping towards the east, and countless cavalrymen followed behind him.

More than 100,000 cavalry galloped to the east, and they encountered other Jurchen cavalry along the way!

It turned out that other Jurchen cavalry had also been notified and were also heading east.

"What happened? Why are so many of our troops coming towards the east?" It was already dawn, and the rain still didn't stop, and the Jurchens were covered in mud.

Some Jurchens are already discussing in private.

"I don't know, there is no Song army in the east, shouldn't we go to the east?"

"Have you heard that Jiexiu has been captured by the Song army, and now the Song army is marching towards Taigu!"

"I heard that Yuan Ping has also been conquered!"

The Jurchens talked a lot.

At this time, Wanyan Loushi came here on horseback.

"General, what happened? Why are we going east?"

"Yes? Are there enemies in the east?"

"Everyone be quiet! Listen to me! We are leaving Hedong now! We are going to cross Taihang and go to Hebei!" Wanyan Loushi said loudly.

"What? Leave Hedong? Our family members are still in Taiyuan City!"

"Yes! Several of my concubines are there, and there is a child who is just two years old!"

"No, I have to go back immediately!"

Suddenly, the Jurchen soldiers began to seething!

Their relatives and family members are all in Taiyuan City, how can they leave there like this?

"Stop all of them! If anyone turns around, I will kill him!" Wanyan Loushi said coldly.

"But, General, what about our family?" someone asked.

"What should we do? Of course let them stay in Taiyuan City! We are now facing persecution from both sides and have to temporarily withdraw from Hedong. If we take those family members with us, the Song army will catch up with us sooner or later! So, we have to let them stay! You and The Song army has been fighting for so many years, don’t they know the Song people? They are cowardly in nature, even if they are the family members of the enemy, they dare not kill them! So don’t worry about our family members being in danger! The general’s family members are also in Taiyuan City , the second prince's family members are also in Taiyuan City, we are not worried about the family members, what are you afraid of?" Wanyan Loushi shouted.

"this……"

The surrounding Jurchen soldiers were stunned!

"Go forward immediately, and we will come back in the future! At that time, our family members will still live in the world well, don't worry, Song people are weak and will never touch our family members!" Wanyan Loushi kept saying.

The mood of the army finally calmed down gradually, they continued to go east, Wanyan Loushi was slightly relieved.

Wanyan Loushi continued to walk back, constantly telling the news and comforting the soldiers.
