Chapter 287: After the Rabbit Dies, the Dog Is Cooked; After the Bird Is Dead, the Bow Is Put Away and One Burns Oneself by Playing with Fire

Chapter 287: The rabbit dies and the dog cooks, the bird disappears and hides its bow... Playing with fire and burning yourself

"Despicable Central Plains people, I, Wanyan Aguda, will not let go... no..."

Outside Yanjing City, Wanyan Agu, who had previously helped Qiao Feng, was beaten and scolded by Wanyan Agu who was beaten out of Yanjing City. But before he could finish scolding him, Xu Xin, who recognized his identity, slapped him with a palm. The future founding emperor of the Kingdom of Jin would be slapped to death if he could not even say unnecessary words.

"Boom!"

Just when Xu Xin was palming to death a group of Jurchen leaders led by Wanyan Aguda, a thunderbolt fell from the sky and struck the earth. It seemed like a warning from heaven and a vision of great changes in the world. Anyway, Xu Xin didn't care.

He has already killed people, not even a whole body is left, is it possible that he can still change back.

"Meet the real master of the country!"

When Xu Xin looked at the thunder in the sky, the Song Army cavalry was already chasing the Jurchens. When the leading generals saw Xu Xin, they quickly saluted and paid homage.

When he was in Yanmen Pass, Zhao Xu made Xu Xin the real person of the state before the three armies. Following Xu Xin's suggestion, he sent an elite army to follow him out of the pass and directly to Yanjing.

Because of the emperor's order, the abilities Xu Xin had shown along the way, and the terrible battle just now, these soldiers naturally respected and feared him.

"General Zhong, sent people to pursue the Jurchens, sent messengers back to Yanmen, and asked the officials to leave the customs and go to Yanjing. Now that Yanjing has fallen, Yanyun can take it back..."

Xu Xin gave an order to a middle-aged general in front of him. This general was in his thirties and was quite famous during the late Northern Song Dynasty. He was considered one of the famous generals in this era.

"yes!"

After the general named Zhe responded, he immediately arranged to complete the things Xu Xin had told him.

He personally led his troops to pursue the remnants of the Jurchens, and almost killed all the elite Jurchens before returning to Yanjing. At the same time, he also sent scouts to inquire about the movements of the Liao army, sent messengers back to Yanyun, and invited the young emperor Zhao Xu to come to Yanjing to preside over the army. .

…

"Yanjing, this is Yanjing, and from now on it will be Yanjing of my Song Dynasty!"

The majestic army and horses came from the south. The young emperor Zhao Xu sat on the chariot and looked at Yanjing in the distance where the city wall was being repaired. His heart was filled with great pride.

"Grandma, you keep saying that war is dangerous and there is no guarantee of victory on the battlefield. You say that our people in the Song Dynasty are weak in culture and not as brave as the Khitan people! Rest with the people and implement benevolent policies, and you can conquer others without fighting. Soldiers..."

"Now you are proven wrong. How can the pedantic opinions of Sima Guang and other scholars accomplish anything?"

"The Song Dynasty has ten times more people than the Liao Kingdom, and thirty times more food and grass. With the army and the people working together, there is nothing we can't defeat."

"The Khitan people stole from my sixteen states in Yanyun and asked me from the Song Dynasty to pay tribute of gold and silk every year. Since I am like a vassal, and as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, I must say this!"

Zhao Xu suddenly stood up from the carriage and pulled out his sword from his waist. In his mind, he was already imagining how he would break the formation and kill the enemy and regain the sixteen states of Yanyun.

The capture of Yanjing City gave him immense confidence, and he had already imagined that he would be on a high horse, commanding millions of soldiers, conquering the Liao Kingdom and going to Beijing, and the Lord of Liao, Yelu Hongji, surrendered naked.

"Official family, official family..."

Waves of calls brought Zhao Xu back to reality, and he saw that Xu Xin and the elite generals of the Northern Expedition had come to the carriage to pay their respects.

"Mr. Xu, soldiers, thank you for your hard work..."

Zhao Xu still respected Xu Xin. After all, he was able to capture Yanjing thanks to the man in front of him. If he wanted to defeat the Liao army and regain Yanyun, he would also need Xu Xin's help.

"Officials, scouts have come to report that Liao Lord Yelu Hongji has integrated the defeated troops of the South Courtyard, and together with the army assembled in the North Courtyard, has come towards the direction of Yanjing City."

A general here immediately reported to Zhao Xu the movements of the Liao army in Yanyun. The little emperor had just arrived, and before he could even sit down, he encountered the Liao Lord leading a large army to attack. However, he was not afraid. Instead, he asked the generals of the three armies to discuss how to defeat the Liao army.

…

On the battlefield with waving flags, hundreds of thousands of Liao troops arrived in unison. The troops were divided into four groups: the front army, the left army, the right army, and the middle army. Two wings.

Outside the city of Yanjing, the troops of the Song Dynasty rushed to build strongholds in the past few days. Wooden cities stood tall, with cavalry stationed on each side. Tens of thousands of archers hid behind the big trees, tightened their bowstrings, and aimed from a distance. , just waiting for the arrow to be fired.

The forwards of the Liao Kingdom galloped around on horseback, but did not come forward to challenge. The horses stationed far away were unable to shoot anywhere with strong bows and hard crossbows. But the sound of drums and horns was heard continuously, and groups of Liao troops formed formations from all directions. Looking from the Tongtian Tower in Yanjing City, we can see enemy troops everywhere with no end in sight.

After the Liao army's formation, the drums started to beat, and hundreds of skin drums rang loudly. When the drums stopped beating, tens of thousands of cavalrymen charged with their spears raised and their shouts shaking the sky.

Countless feathered arrows were shot from various strongholds outside Yanjing City. Although the forwards of the Liao army were all wearing heavy armor, they still fell in the face of the arrow rain offensive.

However, there were many cavalrymen in the Liao army, and they swarmed forward one after another. The fallen horses in front became the target of the rear army's arrows.

"Long live! Long live! Long live!"

The Liao army camp suddenly burst into cheers and drums started again, and they saw Liao Lord Yelu Hongji wearing a yellow robe and gold armor, standing on a high platform in the imperial camp, beating drums to cheer for the charging soldiers.

The Lord of Liao beat the drum himself, which greatly boosted the morale of the Liao army. On the Song army's side, although Zhao Xu was also brave, he was young after all. He was a little frightened by the scene of flesh and blood flying on the Tongtian Tower.

If he were to go to the frontline to boost morale, no matter whether he was willing or not, the civil and military officials would not agree. The emperor's safety was more important than the outcome of the war!

"Mr. Xu, please help!"

Although Zhao Xu was a little timid, he was also smart. He knew that he was not as good as Yelu Hongji in commanding troops, but he still had a big killer, that is, Xu Xin, who was now invincible in the world.

"Don't worry, sir, I will let the Liao general Yanyun return to the Song Dynasty!"

Xu Xin made a promise to Zhao Xu, and then rushed out of Yanjing City and killed towards the chaotic battlefield with the sound of killing.

"Assassin! Protect the emperor!"

Xu Xin's action of rushing out of Yanjing City was not concealed at all. Many Liao soldiers had seen him kill a group of Jurchens outside the city that day, and knew that he was a strong martial artist. Immediately, some powerful warriors on the Khitan side wanted to stop him.

Xu Xin had no intention of dodging. No matter whether it was a flying spear, feather arrow or a sniper, he could not stop him. Wherever he passed, people and horses fell to the ground. He walked towards Yelu Hongji with such determination.

"Mr. Xu's martial arts are really unfathomable. Commander Zhou, do you have any way to deal with people with high martial arts like Mr. Xu..."

On the Tongtian Tower in Yanjing City, the little emperor Zhao Xu watched Xu Xin sweeping across the army. While he was happy, he also had a trace of fear in his eyes.

Most qualified emperors are selfish and have a strong desire for control. For powerful forces, they either try to control them or destroy them.

"Your Majesty, such a warrior is rare in a century..."

Zhou Tong heard the hidden meaning of Zhao Xu's words, and his heart trembled, and at the same time he felt a little sad.

Is it going to happen before his eyes that the rabbit dies and the dog is cooked, and the bow is hidden after the bird is dead?

However, he knew that Xu Xin was not a good person. This little emperor... Don't play with fire and get burned!
