Cao Cao crosses Wu Dalang

Chapter 332 Guan Zhong explains the Jurchen affair

Another day later, in the defense envoy's mansion, Cao Cao summoned all his brothers to discuss the matter of going to the Kingdom of Jin.

When the brothers met, it was inevitable that there would be a lot of excitement. Some people who didn't know each other introduced him to each other. , all made to stay far away, and said something to everyone.

"Our trip across the sea has a lot to do with it. In today's China, few people know the reality of the Jurchen. Even the high officials in the court only think that she is a wild man who is good at fighting. But if you think about it, the Liao Kingdom is a huge country with a century-old foundation. Will he be easily defeated and then defeated by the savages? Among the foreign races, there are bound to be heroes, and we are going here to see for ourselves what kind of people his founders are!"

Everyone was excited when they heard that he had brilliant insights and generous words.

Cao Cao smiled, and looked at Xu Guanzhong: "I was waiting here, so I had to keep my eyes darkened, and I just walked and watched. Fortunately, brothers Guanzhong, fathers and ancestors who have been talented for generations, are used to the geography of the world. It is the Liao Guan Zhong also went to the northern land with Uncle Xu when he was young, and he is quite familiar with the local people, so I ask him to explain it to the brothers today, first to open our eyes, and then go to the northern land, so that we can be targeted."

Everyone was pleasantly surprised when they heard this, especially those who were determined to go with Cao Cao, they all looked at Xu Guanzhong expectantly.

This section was originally discussed by Cao Cao and Xu Guanzhong, Xu Guanzhong naturally would not refuse, stood up, first put together his ancestral flying bird picture on the wall, first pointed out the location of Dengzhou, and then pointed to somewhere in the upper right corner, Open your mouth slowly.

"Brothers, please take a look. This place is called Yingge Ridge. It is surrounded by water on three sides, and it is the place where Jurchen originated! His family has a very long history. During the time of Emperor Zhou, he sent envoys to pay tribute, and the Zhou Dynasty recorded him as a Sushen person. In the Han Dynasty, they were also known as Yilou people. They hid in the northern mountains, slashed and burned, hunted and fished, and produced high-quality red jade and mink fur, which became popular in Chang'an; , when he arrived in the state of Jin, he was called Wuji people."

Zhou Tong couldn't help laughing and said: "Being unlucky is unlucky. We all want auspiciousness, but they have no taboos."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "There are different customs in hundreds of miles. His place is thousands of miles away, so the customs are naturally different."

He also pointed a certain place on the map: "During the Tang Dynasty, the Emperor Tang set up Heishui County here, and called it Heishui Mohe. After being transformed by the king, most of them obeyed the orders of the Liao Kingdom, and the Jurchens spread out in poverty, and the Wanyan tribe of the Jin Kingdom's royal family is one of the Jurchens."

"It is said that there are many tribes of Shengjurchen, and they are independent. Decades ago, Wanyan tribe had a leader named Wanyan Wugunai. He trained warriors internally and conquered various tribes. He conquered more than ten tribes. For an alliance, he appointed himself the leader of the alliance, and Jurchen called him Dubo Jilie. It happened that the Liao people were planning to use Jurchen to rule the Jurchen. Seeing that Ugu was a hero, they gave him the post of Jiedushi. After this person died, other Zi Keribo took over his father's position. Brothers, Libo is not easy to befriend at this moment, he fought in all directions under the banner of the Jiedushi of the Liao Kingdom, and expanded the alliance to more than thirty tribes."

Cao Cao sighed: "We all know that Jurchen's prosperity is also sudden. If it weren't for Guan Zhong's explanation, who would have known that his family has worked hard for three generations."

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Brother, if you talk about it in detail, there are actually four generations - after Li Bo died, the eldest son Wu Yasu succeeded as the leader of the alliance, he fought in a war, defeated Goryeo, took over the homeland of Jurchen, and the tribe became stronger and stronger. , was gradually tabooed by the Liao Kingdom. There was a man named Wanyan Aguda, the second son of Keribo, the brother of Uyasu, especially a hero. When he was young, he assisted his father and brother in battle. , I urged Brother Nai to be exempted from tax for three years, so he won the hearts of the people of all ethnic groups."

When all the heroes heard this, they immediately applauded and said: "What kind of Aguda is this? He can show compassion to the people, and he is a real hero."

Xu Guanzhong continued: "When Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom came to the throne, the Khitan nobles squeezed the Jurchen more and more. The ginseng, mink fur, famous horses, Beizhu, Junying, beeswax, linen, etc. , The amount of tribute was already very heavy, but the nobles drove troops to plunder from time to time, so that the people were in dire straits, this is what the Liao people called "beating the Jurchens", and the Jurchens all hated it."

Cao Cao sternly said: "If such a foreign race has a heart of disobedience, you should slaughter all its dignitaries, and the rest of the people should not allow them to live in one place. They should be included in their own clan and divided. After decades, they will be There is no such family. If you can’t implement this strategy, you should pay equal attention to kindness and power, and have a degree of reward and punishment. Drive them into the vanguard. Waiting, the hatred will be poisonous, and it is not a good strategy for restraint."

Xu Guanzhong heard it in his ears, smacked it carefully, his eyes became brighter, and he blurted out praise: "Brother's words are really a strategy for the country."

Then he shook his head: "However, Emperor Tianzuo didn't know this truth. In the third year of Zhenghe in Song Dynasty, and in the third year of Tianqing in Liao Dynasty, Wanyan Wuyasu died, and his brother finally died. A Guda took over the power. He took over the power of his elder brother himself. Immediately raised troops against the Liao Dynasty, because the people of the Liao Dynasty were rich and extravagant, so besides the Jurchens, Aguda also had many poor Han people, Khitan people, Bohai people, Shiwei people, Tieli people, and Wure people to join him. "

Lin Chong listened to them, and sneered again and again: "The four characters of extravagance and desire are not limited to the nobles of the Liao Kingdom, and the dignitaries of the Song Dynasty, aren't they the same breed?"

Song Jiang said: "The Liao Kingdom was founded on the basis of military prowess. In terms of the frontier of soldiers, it is actually superior to our Great Song Dynasty! According to what Brother Xu said, the three generations of Ugunai, Keribo, and Uyasu can all be called None of the heroes dared to rebel against Daliao, but this Wanyan Aguda, who had just ascended the throne, rebelled. It can be seen that this guy's heart and means are really stronger than his ancestors. Father and brother are even better!"

Xu Guanzhong said solemnly: "Brother Song has hit the nail on the head! If it is said that Ah Gu beat this guy, he is indeed a man of great talent. Logically speaking, he raised troops in a hurry, but he was naturally good at fighting and won the hearts of the people. He defeated the Liao soldiers in Ningjiang in a row. In less than two years, Zhou and Chuhedian have driven the Liao Kingdom to the north, unified all the tribes of the raw and mature Jurchen in the north, settled the capital of Ningfu, established the Great Jin Kingdom, called themselves the "Great Sage Emperor", and took over the country under the reign title."

Hearing this, Zhou Tong slapped his thigh: "My brother miscalculated, he should have brought Brother Li Gong here. He is nicknamed 'Flying Great Sage', and he just competes with this Great Sage Emperor with 'Big Bones'." Everyone I laughed out loud.

Xu Guanzhong also said with a smile: "Brother Zhou Tong, don't underestimate this Aguda. When I was traveling with my father when I was young, I heard about this man's reputation. At that time, the Jurchens had not raised their troops, and an envoy from the Liao Dynasty went to him, and I saw Wanyan Aguda. Passing by with a bow on his back, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty saw his extraordinary aura, so they pointed at the flying birds and ordered to shoot him, A Gu fired three arrows and shot down three birds, the envoys of the Liao Dynasty exclaimed as "a strange man".

Zhou Tong was dissatisfied, turned his mouth, pointed at Huarong and said: "That envoy has no experience, if he sees my elder brother Huarong's ability to shoot geese, wouldn't he call him a 'man of god'?"

Huarong smiled faintly, with a rather appreciative expression.

Xu Guanzhong said solemnly: "Another time, A Gu hit the Shilie tribe of He (Yinhe) to sit down. A few steps away, Jurchen's well-known sharpshooter, Aduhe, also shot at it, a hundred steps behind him."

Zhou Tong opened his mouth wide in surprise, Hua Rong's face changed slightly, and he said in surprise, "Three hundred and twenty steps... with such shooting power, he really can be called a strange man!"

You must know that in the selection of soldiers in the Tang Dynasty, paces to the target was considered good shooting, in the Song Dynasty, paces was considered good shooting, and as far as the shooting range was concerned, paces was considered good—this comparison, we can know that paces is the best shot. How amazing.

Xu Guanzhong added: "At that time, the Jurchens were poor and poor. Most of them didn't have any iron tire bows or god-armed crossbows. At best, they used animal horns as bows and animal strings as arrows. In the battle of Ningjiang Prefecture, it was this fellow who shot and killed them with one arrow. The general of the Liao Kingdom, Yelu, thanked ten times, and Jurchen won the victory."

Hua Rong nodded silently, fighting spirit gradually welling up in his eyes.

Xu Guanzhong said again: "Let's talk about the Battle of Hedian. The Liao Dynasty's capital commander Xiao Sixian and deputy capital leader Xiao Wuna led an army of 700 to attack Jurchen. Aguda only had people. Shooting with the wind, the arrows were shot without fail, personally charging into the formation, smashing the Liao army, cutting the formation so fast that it is not wild."

Fan Ruiqi said: "It's such a coincidence that the wind blows up? Could it be that some of his Jurchens can call the wind and rain? If so, you should have a good fight with him."

Cao Cao has always regarded himself as a hero, and when he heard this, he couldn't help sighing: "This guy can win the hearts of the people, conquer the generals, train soldiers and fight wars, and his family has such bravery, he deserves to be called a hero!"

Sun Lidao: "Unexpectedly, brother Xu is so knowledgeable and knowledgeable. In fact, Sun has always been curious. This guy broke 700,000 with , but he doesn't know how to kill him?"

Xu Guanzhong's face became more and more solemn, and he said solemnly: "For this matter, I went to the Liao Kingdom to inquire about the general who participated in the war, and then I learned a little bit, what do you think? But when the Jin Kingdom was first established, Emperor Tianzuo was furious when he heard about it. , A large army of 700,000 was launched, and the Jin people couldn't help but tremble when they heard it, and many people cried all night..."

Mrs. Gu said: "I know those savages are wolf-hearted and courageous, but unexpectedly they are also afraid."

Sun Xin was engrossed in listening, but was interrupted by his wife, and said angrily: "You talk too much, don't talk too much, and let's hear how that Aguda responds."

Aunt Gu became angry, and punched her husband on the back, causing Sun Xin to fall. She glared at her mother-in-law, but she laughed and said, "How should I deal with it? Isn't it a punch to the head, just to survive?"

Sun Xin was about to retort, but Xu Guanzhong clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "Sister-in-law is really a hero among women, what you said is right to the heart of Aguda!"

Mrs. Gu laughed loudly, crossed her thick waist, and looked forward to seeing herself as a hero. Everyone said curiously: "Tell me quickly."

Xu Guanzhong said slowly: "A Guda saw that the army and the people were terrified, but he gathered all the people in one place, swung his knife in public, cut his face, and cried to the sky, saying: "Beginning when you raised troops, it was because Khitan was cruel and wanted to establish his own country. Zuo’s relative is here today, what can I do? It’s not a fight to the death. If you don’t kill my family, you will surrender and turn the disaster into a blessing. Brothers, do you listen to what he said? He clearly said that if everyone can’t fight to the death , it must be difficult to win, but deliberately said, it is better to kill my Wanyan clan, and you surrender."

"What an aggressive method!" Shi Qian shouted: "Those people live a good life for a few days, how can they be willing to catch them without a fight, and be exploited by Khitan again?"

Xu Guanzhong said with a smile: "Exactly! Seeing Emperor Aguda's behavior, everyone screamed, drew their knives and slashed at the ground, vowing to fight to the death and never retreat!"

Ruan Xiaoer pulled out his knife and slashed on the ground a few times, looked at his brother Ruan Xiaoqi and said, "Isn't this what my brothers like to do? Are you a Jurchen?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said angrily: "You and I crawled out of the intestines of the same mother. I am a Jurchen. Are you a Han?"

They knocked both of them down with their fists, pressed their mouths, and urged Xu Guanzhong to speak quickly.

Xu Guanzhong said: "At present, all the capable fighters of the Jin Kingdom have come out, and they have won people. The two armies fought decisively in Dagang. At that time, the Liao soldiers were all over the mountains and plains. Hey, if you kill them, you will win." So he led the whole army to attack the Liaozhong Army, and all the generals under his command fought to the death. Fearing, the imperial chariot withdrew first, and the Liao soldiers collapsed."

Everyone's hair stood on end, and Cao Cao sighed: "I have seen the war between Song and Liao. In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo, Song Taizong personally conquered Youyun, and fought against Brother Yeluxiu at Gaoliang River. At that time, the forbidden army was ten times braver than today. The two sides are facing each other, but Yeluxiu's fighting style is exactly the same as that of Aguda. All the cavalry charged towards the canopy of Huangluo. Fleeing in front of the battle, the Song army was defeated. Unexpectedly, more than a hundred years later, the Khitan repeated the old incident, and the decline of its national fortune can be seen."

Lin Chong sighed deeply: "My brother is right, but the fate of the Song Dynasty may not be as good as that of Khitan."

Cao Cao stood up, patted his chest, stretched out his fingers to everyone present, and said in a deep voice, "The luck of the Zhao family is allowed to decline, but the luck of China must still flourish! Otherwise, why would the heavens give birth to Wuzhi? Jun?"

His words really have the spirit of "the world is prosperous, and I will take care of it myself". All the heroes felt that their breathing was stagnant. When they looked at Cao Cao, they could only feel that his short and sturdy figure, every move, was like a domineering one. Energetic but sent out.Immediately, there was a surge of pride in his chest, wishing to put on armor and mount a horse, and follow this person to kill to the end of the sky, so that he can enjoy himself to the fullest.

Qi Qi got up, clasped his fists and shouted: "I would like to conquer all directions with my brother, and create an eternal foundation for my Huaxia!"

Cao Cao laughed, pointed to the north and said, "Although there are heroes in foreign races, how can there be no heroes in China? On this trip to the north, let him first ask Wanyan Aguda to know why after thousands of years, only the Situsi people dare to call themselves the top of China. country!"

When everyone heard it, they shouted in unison, Ruan Xiaoqi blushed, drew his knife and slashed the ground, and said loudly: "That's right! This trip north, Xiao Qi will be smashed to pieces, and I won't let those foreigners look down on my Han family!"

Sun An knelt down and hugged Cao Cao: "Brother, my younger brother doesn't want to be a general of the Zhao family, but only a servant of the Wu family. If I don't take my younger brother with me on this trip north, I will kneel and break my legs."

Song Jiang saw him, gave him a favor, and persuaded him with a smile: "Brother, Dragon Slayer is a rare hero in the world, so why not take him with you? Even my brother just made up twenty heroes. In the future, there will be more heroes in the history books." nice."

The twenty?Cao Cao, Xu Guanzhong, Lin Chong, Shi Wengong, Hua Rong, Luan Tingyu, Sun Li, Fan Rui, Li Jun, Zhang Shun, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Jiao Ting, Shi Qian, Zhou Tong, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao , Meng Kang, and Sun An, but it just happened to round up.

Cao Cao laughed loudly, patted Sun An and said, "Your wish will be fulfilled."

Seeing Sun Xin, Lehe, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, etc. envious, they knew that their abilities were limited after all.

This is exactly: Although Jurchen has heroes, how can there be no heroes in China?Black water and white mountains show off their skills, and the twenty brothers sing wildly.
