Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

On the afternoon of August 12th, the rain still did not stop.

At this moment, the family members of the Jurchens also feel that something is wrong. Even if they go out in the past, there will be defenders here. But now, Taiyuan City is really empty, without a single defender.

Some family members of the Jurchens came to the city wall curiously, looking at the surrounding scenery here.

In the past, it was impossible for them to land on the city wall. The defenders would stop them, but now there is no one to stop them.

"Look, there are a lot of soldiers and horses over there!"

"Dad, are they back?"

"Daddy, they are all cavalry, why are they all infantry now?"

At this moment, several teenagers were looking into the distance when someone suddenly exclaimed.

These teenagers are about ten years old. If they were in the deep mountains and old forests, ten-year-old children might have to hunt and fight, but after they came to the Central Plains, they lived affluent lives, and they didn't have to fight at the age of ten! When the Jurchen army withdrew from Taiyuan City, they did not take them with them.

"Look at their outfits, it's not good, it's Song Jun!"

"Ah! It's really Song Jun. How did they come here? What should we do?"

"Get out of here quickly!"

The faces of these Jurchen teenagers showed terrified expressions, and they hurriedly headed down the city of Taiyuan. Originally, there were still some Jurchen women standing on the city wall, but at this moment, these women hurried down from the city wall and ran towards their home.

The entire Taiyuan City fell into chaos in an instant, and there were cries and shouts everywhere!

Qu Duan led an army of 100,000 to five miles away from Taiyuan City, where Qu Duan stopped.

Most of the surroundings were infantry, only a few generals such as Qu Duan rode on horseback.

Looking at Taiyuan City in the distance, Qu Duan was very excited.

He had been to Taiyuan City ten years ago, but Taiyuan City at that time was much grander and more prosperous than it is now! This is the first city in Hedong, where people come and go, and business is extremely developed! The strength of the city wall here is also rare in ancient and modern times, so it can resist Jurchen! It's just that after several wars, the city walls of Taiyuan have become dilapidated, and the population of Taiyuan City has also been reduced by more than half. Now Taiyuan City gives people a feeling of decay!

"Taiyuan City! These are the three northern towns of our Great Song Dynasty. The Jurchens first occupied here, and then they went south to invade the Central Plains and occupy Kaifeng! Now we have recaptured Taiyuan City! The Jurchen army has left here, We have recovered the River East!" Qu Duan felt tears welling up in his eyes.

"That's right! We've recovered Hedong!" Yu Yunwen was beside Qu Duan, and he was also very excited at the moment.

Yu Yunwen was originally in Guanshan to deal with the Jiangnan army. After almost three months, most of the rebel army has been dispersed, and hundreds of thousands of people have already headed towards their hometown, ready to return home! As for Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Wang Yan, Zong Ying and others, they led an army of more than 100,000 to Xixia, preparing to help defend the Datong area! This time Yu Yunwen came here to escort the army rations, and by the way, he also stayed in Quduan's army.

"Hundreds of years ago, Emperor Gaozu and Emperor Taizong of Tang raised their troops here and occupied the world! During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, this was also the capital of the Later Han Dynasty! Countless heroes and heroes have been born here, and Yang Wudi, Hu Yanzan and others once defended here! The descendants were unfilial and lost Taiyuan, but now, we have regained it!" Qu Quduan laughed loudly.

The surrounding soldiers are constantly moving forward, their faces also have excited expressions, and their moods are also extremely excited!

For any country and any nation, being able to recover the lost land is a major event that is enough to inspire the hearts of the whole country and nation. The mood of the soldiers can be imagined.

"There was a war here, the people suffered heavy casualties, and the economy was in decline. It is difficult to recover." After a long time, Qu Duan suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said.

"It won't be very difficult! This is in the east of the river, extending in all directions. In the future, this place will even be connected to the grassland. A large number of businessmen will flood here. It won't be long before this place will recover! In fact, after going through this ordeal In the future, our Great Song Dynasty will be better than the past! In the past, our Great Song Dynasty only emphasized culture and education, not martial arts. Although our civilization was prosperous, we were bullied by foreigners, but now, we pay equal attention to civil and martial arts. Dare to fight, dare to open up, coupled with our hundreds of millions of people, thousands of years of civilization, we are far better than before! The sharp edge of the sword comes from sharpening, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. After the war, our weakness is in the flames of war disappear, the whole nation will really take off!" Yu Yunwen laughed loudly.

"That's right! Let's go, enter Taiyuan! I want to see what the Jurchens have made here, and how to restore it in the future!" Qu Duan nodded.

"Shall we go after Jurchen immediately?" asked a general next to him.

"No, Jurchen still has 200,000 troops, and they are all cavalry! We only have 150,000 people, all of whom are infantry. On the plains, we are no match for them! Even with the 100,000 troops from Datong and Yanmen , we are not their opponents either! Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi are both famous Jurchen generals, and they are also extremely capable of using troops, surpassing Wanyanchang, Jin Wushu and others. Now we only need to force them to Hebei, when the time comes They have become the real turtles in the urn! There is no need to chase them now!" Yu Yunwen said.

Although Yu Yunwen is a literati, he is good at resourcefulness. Although he is in charge of logistics on the surface, in fact the entire staff headquarters is under his control, even Qu Duan often listens to his ideas.

"That's right, we don't need to rush to pursue! We will enter Hebei from Taihang Mountain after the situation in Hedong is stable! There are Wang Gui, Fu Xuan and others in Taihang Mountain. They will harass the Jurchens in Taihang Mountain, and the Jurchens will not feel good!" Qu end way.

Qu Duan, Yu Yunwen and others galloped forward, and soon came to the gate of Taiyuan City. When they arrived here, they felt even more excited.

They entered Taiyuan City from here and came to the city wall.

Inside and outside Taiyuan City, countless soldiers knelt down involuntarily at this moment, with tears in their eyes.

Seeing such a scene, Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen were also filled with emotion. Since the Jurchen invasion, countless people in the country have been looking forward to recovering the lost land, and now this day has finally come!

"General, there are quite a few Jurchen family members in the city, what should we do with these Jurchen family members?" A general ran over and asked.

"It's just some old and weak women and children, just keep an eye on them! Of course, if someone resists, they will be shot!" Qu Duan thought for a while and said.

"The houses and courtyards they occupy do not belong to them, drive them out! Also, the gold and silver money do not belong to them, deprive them of their property!" Yu Yunwen said.

Wanyan Loushi believed that the Han people were "cowardly" and did not dare to kill the Jurchens' family members. Qu Duan and Yu Yunwen did not order the Jurchens' family members to be killed. They were not afraid, but unwilling! This is not cowardice, but kindness. With kindness, there is tolerance, and with tolerance, there is an endless stream of Chinese civilization that will never go out for thousands of years. This is something that foreign barbarians like Wanyan Loushi will never understand.

*** ***

Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Loushi led the army to the east, and more and more soldiers and horses gathered along the way. When they arrived near Niangziguan, their number of soldiers and horses had reached 180,000. Soldiers are here.

There are endless high mountains ahead, and there is the famous Taihang Mountain on the North China Plain. It cuts off Hedong and Hebei, and straddles Yanyun, Henan and other places. It is the largest mountain range in the Central Plains.

In front is the continuous Great Wall. This is a section of the inner Great Wall in the Central Plains. A huge pass city stands there. This is Niangziguan!

There are countless attics, archery towers, and door openings on Niangzi Pass, which is called the "Ninth Pass of the Great Wall", and it is the only way to enter Hebei from Hedong.

"Fortunately, Niangziguan is still under our control, otherwise it would be difficult for us to enter Hebei!" Wanyan Zongwang pointed forward with his whip.

"That's right! Niangziguan is still under our control! It's ridiculous for the Han people to call this pass city 'Niangziguan'!" Wanyan Lou said with a big laugh.

"Woriyan, it seems that you don't know the origin of this Niangziguan! When Li Yuan came from Taiyuan to cavalry, there was Dou Jiande's army in Hebei! Li Yuan went south, occupied the entire Hedong, and then entered Guanshan, where he wanted to establish an empire! The Hebei army tried to invade Hedong. At that time, Niangziguan was also called Weizeguan. Li Yuan’s third daughter, Princess Pingyang, led an army of tens of thousands to garrison Niangziguan. , She built countless towers here, and this is the scale it is today! After she died, she was buried according to military ceremonies, which is very different from ordinary princesses! Therefore, this place is called Niangziguan." Wanyan Zongwang said.

"So that's it. I thought Han women were very incompetent. They just valued chastity. It turns out that there are women who dare to lead troops in battle." Wanyan Loushi said in surprise.

"Li Yuan's ability to become emperor is inseparable from the hard work of his sons and daughters. If we Jurchens want to occupy the world, we need everyone to work hard and forge ahead! After we conquer the Central Plains, the sons and daughters only know how to enjoy the blessings and are unwilling to continue to charge , killing the enemy, this is the reason for our failure!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

Wanyan Loushi nodded!

"After I arrive in Hebei, I will unite with Liu Yu's hundreds of thousands of troops and rule countless lowly Han people. At that time, all of us will work hard and forge ahead. It is not impossible to counterattack the Central Plains again in the future! The Han people will still look like before, We Jurchens have become weaker, so they can win! In the future, when we become stronger again, they will not be our opponents, and will be enslaved by us again!" Wanyan Zongwang said.

"That's right! Our Jurchens are the most powerful race in heaven and earth. We can conquer the powerful Khitans, and we can also conquer the Han people!" Wanyan Loushi said.

"As long as you don't lose your confidence, that's fine! Let's go through Niangzi Pass and head to Taihang Mountain! Sooner or later, I, Wanyan Zongwang, will come back!" Wanyan Zongwang laughed.

He led thousands of soldiers through Niangziguan without looking back, and the army of more than 100,000 troops also passed through Niangziguan one after another, heading towards Taihang Mountain.
