Water Margin: The opening scene involves assassinating Emperor Huizong of Song and forcibly taking L

"Yes."

Wanyan Zongwang shouted loudly,

Then he walked outside.

The distance from Datong Prefecture to Fengsheng Prefecture is over four hundred li.

Wanyan Zongwang only brought two guards who could speak Chinese.

One person and three horses

nonstop,

They arrived in Bongseongju before dark.

Fifteen miles from the city,

They were stopped by the Liang scouts.

The head of the deputies, seeing that Yan Zongwang and his two companions were not dressed as Khitans, shouted,

"Who are you?"

Wanyan Zongwang did not test these scouts.

He asked the guard behind him who could speak Chinese to answer.

"This is Wulibu, the Grand General of the Jin Dynasty,"

"Also the emperor's son,"

"I have come to see the King of Liang of Great Liang on the orders of our Emperor."

The squad leader heard that the one coming was a prince.

He then signaled to one of the cavalrymen behind him to report.

Let the others continue patrolling.

He led Wanyan Zongwang and the other two towards the main camp.

Chapter 1557 Testing

The military camps in the city could not accommodate many people.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan ordered his army to set up camp outside the city.

The scout led Wanyan Zongwang and his two companions to the entrance of the camp.

Then they saw Shi Yong, the leader of the Liang King's personal guards, greeting them at the door.

"Greetings, Captain Shi."

Although Shi Yong was a centurion,

However, his official rank was only that of a captain.

Just like a centurion in a regular army.

Shi Yongchong, the squad leader, nodded.

He then said to Wanyan Zongwang,

"King Liang invites you to come with me."

Wanyan Zongwang followed Shi Yong into the military camp.

He stole a glance at the Liang soldiers in the camp.

The soldiers of Liang were dressed in bright, gleaming armor.

The queue was neat and orderly.

Each one was full of energy.

They were all around twenty years old.

Judging by military bearing alone,

The army of Daliang was much stronger than that of the Liao and Jin dynasties.

However, you can only know their true fighting strength after you've fought them.

The Liao army was also more well-organized than the Jin army.

However, when they encountered the Jin Dynasty, they lost more often than they won.

The Jin Dynasty's savages, when assembled, were in complete disarray.

But once they start charging...

They would all follow their leader into battle.

Charge through enemy lines like an arrow.

In the Jin Dynasty's military system, if the commander-in-chief died in battle,

All the guards were beheaded.

His family property was confiscated.

Therefore, the personal guards would risk their lives to protect their leader.

The leader took the lead.

The leader is not the easiest to die.

They were the leader's personal guards.

The leader won't die immediately.

Always charging ahead,

The savages behind will then continue charging.

Their combat strength is naturally not bad.

What if the leader dies?

Would the savages all flee for their lives?

will not.

In the Jin Dynasty's military system, if the leader was killed in battle,

If the subordinates cannot defeat the enemy,

They were all beheaded.

If they try to escape back, they'll definitely die.

On the battlefield, if you fight desperately, you'll have a chance to survive if you win.

The savages had no choice but to fight desperately.

The Jin dynasty's military system was designed to leave no way for barbarians to survive.

Their combat strength is naturally high.

The Liao Dynasty was able to establish such a military system.

However, the Liao people could not implement it.

The Han people, no matter what, could not devise such a military system.

If a general dies in battle while greedy for merit...

They were ultimately defeated.

They were to behead all the soldiers below.

This is unreasonable and illogical.

Soldiers are human beings too.

There's no reason why the general could have made a mistake.

The soldiers would also lose their lives.

But for the barbarians of the Jin Dynasty,

This military order was carried out very well.

Savages are more like wild beasts.

But once the savages settled down...

When they began to evolve like humans,

They would then be unable to enforce such military discipline.

So the wild golden men were no longer there.

They were defeated by the Mongols, who still retained their wild nature.

Unlike the chaotic Jurchen camp,

Liang Jun's camp was orderly and quiet.

There was not a sound.

"Please dismount, General."

"Walk to the central command tent."

While Wanyan Zongwang was stealing glances,

The group was already no more than a hundred paces away from the central command tent.

No one dares to ride a horse here anymore.

Wanyan Zongwang heard the guards translate,

He then dismounted as well.

Shi Yong led the three to the central command tent.

Zhao Yuan didn't put on airs.

Hearing that Shi Yong had already brought three people,

Heading towards the central command tent.

He then got up and went outside to greet them.

Wanyan Zongwang walked to the front of the main tent.

Seeing Zhao Yuan dressed in a five-clawed golden dragon robe,

They also knew it was the King of Liang of the Great Liang Dynasty.

He imitated the Han Chinese gesture of clasping his hands in greeting and rattled off a bunch of things.

Chapter 1558 Addicted to Alcohol

Behind Zhao Yuan, a person fluent in Jurchen language acted as a translator.

Zhao Yuan returned the greeting with clasped hands.

He was sizing up Wanyan Zongwang, the Right Deputy Marshal who led the army to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty in history.

Wanyan Zongwang was in his thirties at this time.

He was as rugged as the other golden statues.

There are some scars on his forehead.

This is not a scar left from the battlefield.

Instead, they cut it themselves.
