Chapter 995: Wushu's Ambition
On May 24th, Liao Kingdom went to Linhuang Prefecture in Beijing.
Since the fourth day of the lunar month, the Jin army broke through the west gate, the most important capital of the Liao Kingdom has fallen for twenty days.
But even after so many days, I still saw fire rising from time to time in the capital city, and sudden battles suddenly broke out in a corner of the city.
The remaining troops of the Liao Dynasty defenders, hiding in this city with a population of hundreds of thousands, are still making the final struggle. Although their struggles are so ridiculous and futile in the eyes of the Jurchens, they will only implicate more people in the tribe and be killed because of this...
In an alley north of the city, the last few screams ended. Several Jurchen soldiers covered in blood and ferocious faces walked out in great strides. In the alley behind them, dozens of men, women, young and old were lying across. Among them, only three were Liao soldiers who were waiting for a sneak attack to resist. The others were all ordinary people who were implicated by them and were tortured by these Jin soldiers.
This scene clearly fell into the eyes of Wanyan Wushu who had just passed by the alley, which made his eyebrows frown again. However, the Jin soldiers did not notice the disgust in his eyes at all. Instead, they smiled and lit up the long sword covered with blood in front of him like offering treasures: "Fourth Prince, this knife looks much sharper than our weapons, I would like to offer it to you!" These Jin soldiers respected from the bottom of their hearts for this fourth prince who was brave in combat and had various strategies.
The disgust in Wanyan Wushu's eyes instantly dissipated. He smiled and waved his hand, then patted the treasure knife hanging on his waist: "I have obtained a good knife from the Liao people's palace. Since this knife was seized by you, you should wear it. I will use it to kill more enemies in the future!"
"Of course, as a warrior of the Great Jin Dynasty, I should kill all the enemies for the Great Jin Dynasty, not only the Liao people, but also the others who look down on us!" The Jin soldier smiled wildly, then bent down slightly at Wanyan Wushu and strode away.
The Jurchens were not long ago, but there was no strict hierarchy system as strict as the Song and Liao countries. Even if the identities of the two sides were very different, the soldier did not have much servility. Wanyan Wushu never took this seriously. After thinking about it, he turned around and asked: "Haci, how are the numbers I asked you to count? How many Liao people have we killed in total these days?"
A man with a long-faced and hooked nose beside him and his eyes were deep, replied: "In the past twenty days, except for the Liao soldiers killed by the formation, the number of Liao people killed by our Great Jin soldiers has exceeded 80,000. This is just the number of killed in the capital city. It is said that the number of Liao people who escaped from the city early and were killed is also equivalent to this."
"The Liao people are really crowded, and I heard that there are more Song people in the south. If we really continue to kill like this, I am afraid that we will not be able to win completely. We must have a good talk with our father." When Wanyan Wushu said this, he shook the reins and rode his horse quickly towards the Liao people's palace not far ahead. There has been completely occupied by the Jin people, and Wanyan Agu was beaten in it.
Two teams of elite Jin soldiers guarded the somewhat damaged palace gate. However, after seeing Wanyan Wushu arrive, they had no intention of blocking them. They just followed him and drove in with his sword, straight into the palace back hall, where Wanyan Agu hit a rest.
In fact, the palace of the Liao people is quite old and simple compared to the palace of the Song people. The decoration inside is also the simplest. It is mostly fur-headed by tigers, leopards and other beasts, as well as strong bows, swords and swords, which are completely incomparable to the various treasures in the Song Palace.
This is not to say that the Liao Kingdom is so poor that even the emperor lives so poor. It is because the two countries have different customs. Now the Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi is more accustomed to hunting Nabo everywhere, and he stayed in the Shangjing Palace for a few days a year. In this way, everything here is simple.
But even so, the grand palaces and houses and various decorative weapons still made the Jin people who seized the city linger and were amazed, just like Liu Laolao entering the Grand View Garden. Almost every Jin army soldier who had just entered the palace would exclaim sincerely, and then after being recognized by Aguda, he happily chose the most suitable weapon for himself.
Not only his sons and confidants, but also ordinary subordinates, and even the three brothers of the Zeng family got a very high-quality weapon. At this time, Zeng Suo carried a treasure knife and guarded the gate of the back hall. When he saw Wu Shu coming, he quickly stepped forward and bowed: "I have seen the Fourth Prince."
By the way, the three brothers of the Zeng family were valued by the rulers and ministers of the Jin Kingdom in just a few years, thanks to their status as descendants of the Jurchens and their superb martial arts. Zeng Sheng stayed with Wu Shu and listened to him, while Zeng Suo became the personal guard commander of Aguda. As for the last Zeng Tu, he was valued by Wu Qimai and became a general under his command. He also made considerable contributions when he broke into the capital before.
Zeng Sheng, who was following Wu Shu, just nodded slightly when he saw his third brother, while Wu Shu asked casually: "Where is my father? Can you be in the hall?"
"The emperor just found several boxes of property from a temple behind him. Now he is checking and counting it inside. The fourth prince is coming at the right time and should be able to get a lot of rewards." Zeng Suo said after a smile.
After hearing this, Wu Shu just smiled and didn't take it too seriously. These days, the soldiers guarding here always found the property left by the Liao people from a corner, and he was used to it. At that moment, Zeng Shenghaci and other subordinates stayed outside the hall, and he stepped into the hall gate to see his father Aguda.
In the hall, more than a dozen butter candles were burning, illuminating the palace. Aguda was sitting on the ground with a smile on his face, and together with a few confidants, he watched the things taken out of the boxes with jade inlaid.
The shorter and sharper swords were long thrown aside by them, and now they are holding them in their hands and playing with them while playing with them. On the other hand, they are a jade cup with extremely thin body but as big as a palm. Several smooth as water, shining with dazzling brocade in the fire. Several big men who are used to holding swords, guns, bows and arrows carefully stroked their rough hands on these objects, and were full of amazement.
"These things are really good at killing the world. Compared with these satin, we are wearing only fur at all." A general pulled his clothes on his body in a very despair and exclaimed.
"I don't know how this cup was made. I guess it will taste more beautiful when drinking it."
Just as Aguda nodded repeatedly to express his praise, Wu Shu strode forward and said, "These things look beautiful, but they are very impractical. Everyone, we Jurchens have to drink happily when drinking. If we hold such a cup, we must be careful. If we hold it, we are afraid of breaking it. So what else can we drink?"
"That's right, the fourth prince is more knowledgeable." A man with a fat face and a deep scar from his left eye to his chin nodded with a smile.
Aguda shook his head and laughed: "Wushu, you can always say what we ignore. You are really the eagle of my Jurchen tribe. By the way, I heard that you defeated a Liao army outside the city yesterday. Look, this silk is a rare good thing in the Liao people's palace." As soon as he raised his hand, he threw one of the satin to his son.
Wanyan Wushu caught it casually, then smiled and said, "Thank you for your reward, but in my opinion, these satin is nothing."
"What does the Fourth Prince mean?" someone asked in confusion, and even Aguda frowned and looked over.
"Father, as far as I know, these satin from the Liao people actually came from the Song Kingdom in the south. In Song Guo, these are very gorgeous in our eyes, and priceless brocades are nothing. Their wealthy families wear clothes made of such satin all year round. As for their emperors and ministers, they wear better than this one. The porcelain cups they use to drink are thinner, transparent and lighter than this jade cup. That is the real treasure. These are just commodities used by the Song people to earn Liao horses and money."
Wu Shu's words immediately made everyone stupid. There was such a thing. They didn't know that the Song people could be so rich. But they also knew that Wu Shu had always liked Han culture, so he must have said nothing wrong.
"If this is true, this time we joined forces with the Song people to destroy the Liao Kingdom. After all, we are all ally. We should ask them for some good things. If you don't say anything else, I just like this kind of cup. I'll be satisfied if you want to get ten."
"So, I have to have such satin for my woman to wear."
These Jin generals all imagined the benefits of getting many treasures, and their mouths were about to drool. But Wu Shu didn't answer their words, and even had a sneer on his face. Seeing this, Aguda frowned: "Wu Shu, do you have other opinions on this?"
"Father, I just feel that our requirements are too low. Can we satisfy us just by capturing the Liao Kingdom? You have never thought that if you can go south again, defeat the entire Song Kingdom, grab all the good things that I regard as treasures, and press all the gentle Song Kingdom women under us. Is this the most wonderful thing in the world?" Wanyan Wushu said this, his whole body was full of excitement, waving his hands, as if he might fly up at any time.
