The Tianzhu Army began to launch the Taiyuan Battle since late March. All the Jin areas bordering the Pingding Army were almost unaware of the abnormal actions of the Tianzhu Army. The Zhaozhou Army did not notice, the Xingzhou Army, and the Liaozhou Army did not notice, and even the main target of the attack, the Taiyuan Jin Army, did not notice it in the early stage of the battle, otherwise it would not have been lured out a large number of troops and was annihilated in the plains.

However, this is only "almost". There is at least one place that you will never relax your vigilance against Tianzhu Army and Tianshu City - this is Zhending Mansion.

Even if the Jin army in various prefectures underestimated the Tianzhu Army, the real Jin army would never dare to underestimate it; even if Wanyan Tuhesu did not take the Tianzhu Army seriously, Wanyan Zongfu was determined not to follow the Dragon and Tiger King... This is a deep lesson obtained by using tens of thousands of lives and blood.

Wanyan Zongfu regarded Tianshu City as the current largest enemy of the Eastern Route Army. He attached unprecedented importance to it, so he tried every means to detect all the news about the Tianzhu Army and Tianshu City. Even if the Tianzhu Army was well kept confidential, how could it be completely concealed by tens of thousands of troops? Therefore, when the Tianzhu Army had just launched the Taiyuan Battle, the first thing he reacted was the real deposit-dong East Route Army base camp.

When Wanyan Zongfu got the news, it was the time when the First Mixed Brigade and Wanyan Tuhesu Army fought against Tuqiao. Deputy Generals of Zhending Wang Bolong and Yelu Duo both believed that this was the best opportunity to attack Jingxing Pass, but Saliyu expressed cautious opposition. Saliyu was impressed by the castle-style defensive counterattack of the Tianzhu Army and was still scared. He believed that the Jin army and the Tianzhu Army had some chance of winning in the field battle, and if the victory rate was slim.

At this time, Sa Liyu didn't know that the Tianzhu Army had adopted the new tactics, chariots, cavalry and soldiers to fight together. With the same force, he defeated the Wanyan Tuhesu Army in one fell swoop, achieved a great victory in Tuqiao, and perfectly practiced the new tactics.

After the Tianzhu Army was invincible in defense, its field combat capabilities began to show its strength. The next step is to improve its offensive ability and ultimately achieve defense, attack and capture. It surpasses the Jin army in all respects.

Saliyu had been removed from all positions at this time and only retained hereditary Mouke's title. The reason why he remained in the headquarters of the Zhendian East Road Army was the result of Wanyan Zongfu's efforts to go to Shangjing. Now Saliyu is Wanyan Zongfu's aide and consultant.

Before he was in charge of the Eastern Route Army, Wanyan Zongfu participated in military affairs all year round and rarely led the army alone. Therefore, he developed a more cautious personality. Since he had not personally fought against the Tianzhu Army, all his military generals had more or less fought with the Tianzhu Army, especially Saliyu, which could be said to have been sent to hell by the Tianzhu Army headed by Di Lie. Therefore, when fighting against the Tianzhu Army, Saliyu, the defeated general, had the most say. Wanyan Zongfu also attached great importance to his opinions.

So, Wanyan Zongfu decided to wait and see for the time being and continue to pay close attention. He wanted to wait for the Tianzhu Army to return in a defeat - to use 20,000 troops to attack the city defended by 10,000 defenders. It was really hard to imagine the possibility of success. Wanyan Zongfu even secretly was secretly happy. Is this a trick that the senior executives of the Tianzhu Army had repeatedly defeated the Jin army. After the confidence of the top leaders of the Tianzhu Army expanded, they made?

However, the subsequent battle situation was completely contrary to his expectations: Han Qinghe's army was annihilated, Shouyang fell, Wanyan Tusutuqiao was defeated, Taiyuan was surrounded... one after another, all of them were bad news.

Wanyan Zongfu finally couldn't sit still.

On April 19th, with the news that the Tianzhu Army had suffered a setback in the attack on the outer city of Taiyuan, Wanyan Zongfu had made up his mind to attack Jingxing while the Tianzhu Army bit the fire chestnut in Taiyuan and could not swallow or vomit. It was best to attack Jingxing. Even if it failed to break the pass, it would be enough to play a role in separating and restraining the Tianzhu Army's forces, which was also a strong support for the Taiyuan Jin Army. At this time, the only one who could provide support to the Taiyuan Jin Army was not able to find any other troops besides the real deposit army.

After three days of dispatching troops and preparing food and forage and siege equipment, Wanyan Zongfu personally led 15,000 troops, Wang Bolong as his deputy general, Saliyu as his chief of staff, and Yelu Duo was in charge of Zhending to ensure logistics. The flags were like forests, and the army was like dragons, rolling towards Jingxing Pass.

The composition of this army was mostly Wang Bolong's Yisheng Army, plus a part of the Xinleng Han'er-Signed Army. In terms of combat effectiveness, it was not inferior to the central army led by Sali and Shiyama.

On the way of the march, Wanyan Zongfu repeatedly discussed with Wang Bolong and Sa Li, feeling that this battle was quite certain. First of all, the terrain in front of Jingxing Pass is different from Naiheguan. Although Jingxing Pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, at least it can be arranged to open the army, and can also use large siege equipment such as Feiyun Ladder, Goose Car, and Cave House, and even use catapults. This is extremely difficult to build a simple ladder at Naiheguan. It is really a world of restraint. No matter how many troops there are, they are all targets in front of Naiheguan, and at Jingxing Pass, there is at least a chance to fight. Didn’t the second brother Zong Wang take Jingxing in one battle and destroy Zhong Shimin, the Zong family army, at that time.

Secondly, Wanyan Zongfu's purpose in this battle was to alert the enemy and mobilize the Tianzhu army to return to defense, and only take Jingxing Pass and never enter Jingxing Road. Half a year ago, the tragic experience of the Jinzhonglu army on Jingxing Road made Wanyan Zongfu's eyelids twitch when he thought about it. He could not, nor did he dare to use the last power at hand to take risks.

Wanyan Zongfu was a steady and steady general, which was related to his long-term military service, being quick to plan and being clumsy to force. If he changed to other offensive commanders, such as Wanyan Zonghan or Wushu, he would never set his goal so conservatively.

In addition, according to information, the Tianzhu Army troops stationed at Jingxing Pass were not equipped with such terrible muskets. Although there were fire and thunder and **, the threat of muskets was less, and the chances of victory were more.

With full confidence and sufficient preparation, Wanyan Zongfu led his army to travel thirty miles a day and arrived at Baodu Village, which was less than ten miles away from Jingxing Pass. This was the place where the Jin general Wanyan Agu was stationed in the first battle with the Tianzhu Army. Because Wanyan Agu was defeated so miserably that the entire army was destroyed, and even he was captured and killed alive. Therefore, Wang Bolong and Salihe felt that the sign of this place was not good, so they advised Wanyan Zongfu to choose another place to camp, but Wanyan Zongfu refused.

It is true that Wanyan Zongfu is cautious in character, but he also has his own pride. He compares himself with a desperate general like Wanyan Agu. It is something he cannot accept. He will re-write the invincible glory of the Jin army on this day when Wanyan Agu failed and sinks into the sand.

Baodu Village had already lived in many local people. However, two days ago, he had received a notice from Tianshu City that the Jin army was about to arrive, and most of them had to escape with their families. So after the Jin army entered the village, they only saw a messy village.

While sending the vanguard army to Jingxing Pass to detect military information, Wanyan Zongfu asked the army to repair camps, dig trenches and build wells to build buildings, and prepare for long-term combat - yes. It is to fight for a long time. At the beginning, more than a thousand Song soldiers with equal combat power, Zhong Shimin could withstand the fierce attack of nearly 10,000 troops of his second brother Zong Wang for one month, and the city was broken and died. The Jingxing defender he is facing now has suffered repeated defeats to the Jin army and has not yet been defeated. How could he not prepare for long-term combat?

Wanyan Zongfu predicted that the Tianzhu Army would encircle Taiyuan as a long process. At that time, the Western Army encircled Taiyuan for a long time. Almost ran through the entire process of the Southern Song Kingdom. Finally, Taiyuan was destroyed, and the Song Kingdom was destroyed immediately. This was a wonderful city that affected the rise and fall of the entire dynasty.

Therefore, Wanyan Zongfu was also preparing to siege the city with the Tianzhu Army to see who could break the city first. In this regard, whether it was Wanyan Zongfu himself, Wang Bolong, or Sa Liyu, who had a deep understanding of the Tianzhu Army, they all judged that they could win.

On April 25th, Baodu Village had been renovated for two days and had fully met the standards of the wartime military camp. Wanyan Zongfu decided to kill the animals and sacrifice the flags of the three armies after they had a full meal the next day, and officially attack Jingxing Pass.

However, at dusk, the vanguard cavalry, who went to investigate the enemy situation, brought back a man, which changed all this.

In the tent of the Central Army, a strong man wearing a unique Tianzhu Army uniform stood in the tent like a javelin. In the middle of the tent, Wanyan Zongfu, the right deputy marshal of the Jindong Road Army, sat with a general on each side, namely Wang Bolong and Salihe.

At this time, Wanyan Zongfu was just in time to look at the big man who claimed to be an officer of the Tianzhu Army and said, "Register if you are coming."

"The first supplementary brigade of the first supplementary division of the Tianzhu Army, Guo Dashi."

Before Wanyan Zongfu could speak, Sa Li was already shocked: "You are Guo Dashi? The one who killed hundreds of my army with fire and thunder on Jingxing Road?"

"That's right!" The man responded strongly and stared at Sali without fear and drank the fierce eyes.

This person is indeed Guo Dashi. Before the reorganization of the Tianzhu Army, he was originally a team leader in the third capital of the main first battalion. After the reorganization, he was transferred to supplement the division head and train new recruits. This time, under the order of Zhang Jiao, the chief of the pacification army, he gave a "gift" to Wanyan Zongfu as the special envoy of the Tianzhu Army. After leaving Jingxing Pass, he happened to encounter the Jin army's vanguard army, and after revealing his identity, he was brought here.

"Gift?" Wanyan Zongfu felt uneasy and felt uneasy, "Where is it?"

Guo Dashi glanced at Sali and took a look, but said nothing.

Sa Li bowed to Wanyan Zongfu and said, "After all the generals ordered people to check first, the dangers of the arms and thunder in heaven must be guarded against."

Wanyan Zongfu nodded and was about to say something, but at this time, a report came from outside the tent, saying that the gifts from the envoy from the Tianzhu Army had been checked without any worries. Wanyan Zongfu ordered them to be sent to the tent.

The Jin army guard who entered the box looked a little strange. After seeing the commander, he wanted to say something, but he was inconvenient to speak. The guard's expression naturally attracted the attention of the three Jin army generals, but as long as it was not a dangerous thing, he would not take it seriously.

"Open!" Wanyan Zongfu stared at Guo Dashi with a cold look, but ordered the guards.

The guard hesitated for a moment, and then slowly opened the lid of the box... A mixed lime, saltpeter and a faint smell of blood came to his face. This special smell was not unfamiliar to the three generals who had been through a long battle.

Wanyan Zongfu's eyes bulged, and his cold and calm expression suddenly became messy, and he said hurriedly: "Come on!"

The box is placed on the table, and inside is a white cloth package and a note of paper.

As the guards wrapped the white cloth layer by layer, the mixed smell became stronger and stronger, and the eyes of the three generals of the Jin army became wider and wider... The last layer of white cloth was uncovered, as expected, a head made of lime nitr...

"Silver Skill!!"

The three generals of the Jin army shouted in unison, their tone full of incredible and sadness.

Guo Dashi, who had been standing still, began to give a voiceover commentary: "Wanyan Yin Shuke, on April 21, led 200 cavalry to the south to assist Taiyuan, replacing the seriously injured Wanyan Tuhe quickly presided over the Taiyuan defensive war. On April 22, on the night, the three main brigades of our Tianzhu Army launched a general attack, captured Taiyuan, and killed Wanyan Yin Shuke. My army leader, Deputy Marshal Wo, did not know and did not believe it, so he specially ordered Bendu to send his head to his head to... In front of Jingxing Pass, there was a war or harmony, but the deputy marshal was responsible for his own treatment."

Wanyan Zongfu stretched out his trembling hand to stroke the silver technique, but his pale head reached halfway through, but he picked up the note and shook it open. There were only six on it written in cinnabar, like a big bright red letter with a silver hook:

Come on, fight!

Let's go, no send!

Wanyan Zongfu was a counselor of military affairs and naturally knew the words. He could not tell the big words of Jurchen in his country, but also the Song font. Then, the notes were rubbed into a ball. The peaceful face of the right deputy marshal of the Jin army was unprecedentedly twisted...

The Zhendian Army finally withdrew its troops, and Wanyan Zongfu chose to "leave". This was an inevitable choice. After the war in Taiyuan, the Battle of Jingxing lost any meaning. If the war lost its meaning and purpose, only the madman and the madman would fight. Wanyan Zongfu was neither, so he could only choose to withdraw his troops.

A war that was originally intended to wash away shame was defeated before the battle started.

Things in the world are really wonderful. Half a year ago, in this Baodu Village, the Jin general Wanyan Agu also received a similar gift from the Tianzhu Army: the vanguard army's head, Wanyan Agu was also furious because of this loud slap. He fought with the Tianzhu Army at Yinmatan, and was eventually defeated and captured.

The same slap was slapped on Wanyan Agu's face to lure him into the slap; the same slap on Wanyan Zongfu's face was to force him to retreat. Both of them had different uses, just like a clever chef who could cook the same dish to a completely opposite taste.

Although Zhang Jiao repeatedly stated that this mission would be fine, Guo Dashi still rushed to the tiger's den with a sacrifice. Unfortunately, he failed to be a hero. Oh, he has been a hero, so it is impossible to be a second time - Wanyan Zongfu did not leave any trouble, but instead gave gifts to the camp.

Of course, Wanyan Zongfu did this, not because he showed benevolence and righteousness. He was not so kind. But because the Tianzhu Army that captured Taiyuan could no longer be regarded as a "Taihang bandit". Their power had been achieved and could not be copied. The Jin Kingdom must treat it as a newly emerging force. In this way, he could not dispose of the special envoys sent by the other party at will. Because he did not know whether his country would also send special envoys to the other party in the future...
