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

Even the appointment of Liu Yu as a false emperor,

This guy was also in charge of relaying orders.

When Wanyan Liang became emperor,

This person wielded immense power and influence throughout the court and the country.

He was ranked above the Prime Minister of the Jin Dynasty.

He was sidelined because he opposed Wanyan Liang's southern expedition.

The light cavalry sent out by Wanyan Loushi to scout ahead

Traveling rapidly southeast along the river valley,

They ran for more than ten miles before being ambushed.

Arrows rained down from the mountains on both sides.

They climbed the mountain despite being hit by arrows.

More than twenty people were killed or injured before they finally climbed up.

The archers who were lying in ambush there all ran away.

These Jin cavalrymen returned to the valley.

Continue riding forward.

They were attacked again not far away.

More than fifty people were killed or injured in the process.

The Jin cavalry dared not advance further.

He slunk back to report the situation.

The situation is clear.

The Ming army had a trap within the eight-character area.

Only the Jin soldiers are allowed to enter from the top of the eight characters.

Wanyan Loushi had never been to this area in person, and asked:

"What is the terrain like along the route if we take the detour from the southeast?"

Wendu Sizhong replied, "It's all river valleys, making it difficult for cavalry to deploy in battle."

"In other words, this passageway in front of us,"

"On the contrary, it is the most open,"

"Which is most advantageous for cavalry warfare?" Wanyan Loushi asked.

Wendu Sizhong nodded: "That's true."

Wanyan Huonu said, "Why should Father be afraid?"

"Who cares what kind of ambush is planned,"

"We have over ten thousand elite troops,"

"Just ride a horse, shoot arrows, and trample our way through!"

Wanyan Huonu was the eldest son of Wanyan Loushi.

He joined Aguda in battle at the age of seventeen.

Every time, they won with fewer troops.

They have never lost a battle so far.

Historically, Zhong Shizhong saved Taiyuan.

They were completely wiped out by this person.

Since the day the army started fighting,

Wanyan Huonu fought only the toughest battles.

Various methods were employed, such as using 300 to break 2,000, using 1,000 to break 8,000, and using 1,000 to break 20,000.

Such a combat experience,

Under thirty years old

Wanyan Huonu was extremely confident.

He believed that there was no enemy in the world that he could not defeat.

Wanyan Loushi possessed the Iron Pagoda (Heza Meng'an).

Wanyan Huonu was a fierce general who commanded the Iron Cavalry.

Later, he even inherited all the iron cavalry of the Jin Dynasty's western army!

"It's best to be careful," Wanyan Poluhuo said.

Poluhu was also a formidable general.

The entire clan was relocated to Taizhou.

They ruled over the vast grasslands there.

Including the Hulunbuir Grassland further north,

It was also nominally under the rule of Varuna.

He not only brought Jurchen cavalry with him this time,

They also brought many cavalrymen from the grassland tribes.

Wanyan Huonu sneered, "Are you that timid?"

Poluhu was extremely displeased by the rebuke.

After all, he has more seniority.

Moreover, they were legitimate members of the Jin dynasty's royal family.

His ancestor was a cousin of Aguda's biological father.

His nephew was even adopted as a son by Aguda.

Chapter 210 Bloodline

What is Wanyan Huonu anyway?

The bloodline of the royal family is so thin that it can be ignored!

Similarly, Wanyan Huonu also disregarded Poluhuo.

His battle prowess left Poluhu far behind.

Moreover, Poluhuo was clearly Wanyan Zonghan's man.

Yet he was also exchanging flirtatious glances with Emperor Shizu.

Poluhuo's current identity,

He could even be considered one of the military supervisors sent by the Jin Dynasty!

Poluhu was about to speak in rebuttal,

The rope fruit next to him winked.

He was signaling to stop arguing.

Both were military supervisors.

They are not well-received in Shanxi.

This is Wanyan Shengguo's Jurchen name.

He shares the same name as Wanyan Zongjun, the son of Aguda.

But they are not the same person.

He is like Poluhuo.

Their territories were all located in the border area between the Jin Dynasty and Wanyan Zonghan.

It serves as a buffer between the two major powers.

It's unclear which faction they belong to.

He was a military supervisor sent by the Jin Dynasty court.

He was another general under Wanyan Zonghan.

There was a member of the royal family nearby named Wanyan Saili.

If the audience stands obediently to the side, they will start arguing.

Although he has been fighting for many years

But he's always been relatively unknown.

He did not achieve any significant military exploits.

Later, they captured Zhao Gou's birth mother, wife, and two younger sisters.

He also served as the Left Chancellor of the Jin Dynasty.

This is why he became famous in the Southern Song Dynasty and was called "King of the Sky".

(Legend has it that Zhao Gou's own mother was once his concubine.)

After arguing for a while, they still had to fight.

So the generals began to discuss the war again.

Most of the high-ranking generals of the Jin Dynasty,

They all suggested continuing the advance.

Sending more light cavalry to conduct reconnaissance is sufficient.

Wanyan Loushi said, "The Ming Dynasty is different from the Liao and Song Dynasties."

"Two years ago, that Liangshan emperor ate a thousand Zha Meng'an,"

"I heard it's because they have some kind of muskets and cannons."

"Xia State also demonstrated the superior firearms of the Ming army,"

"They suffered a major defeat last year,"

"There might be firearms lying in ambush ahead."

"Han Chang, your Han Chinese craftsmen are very skilled,"

"Do you think there's any way to deal with firearms?"

Han Chang was a Han Chinese from the Liao Dynasty.

Following his own father to surrender to the Jin dynasty,

It is rumored that it can draw a bow with a strength of three stones.

He's still following Wanyan Zonghan.

Later, he came under the command of Jin Wuzhu.

He always served as the vanguard for Jin Wuzhu in every battle.

Han Chang said, "The Marshal (Wanyan Zonghan) also inquired about this matter."

"But I have never seen Ming army firearms."

"I only learned about it from other people,"

"Firearms include two types: muskets and cannons."

"All pipes are made of iron,"
