Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning asked: "Oh, how do you say that?"

"The main force of our army has gathered in Hebei, Yue Shuai's striker has taken Yizhou, and His Majesty even went to Hejian Mansion in person, but Jin Wushu sent people to attack Hedong. He obviously thought that our defense in Hedong was empty and wanted to break through Taiyuan's defense line. Go all the way south, cross the Yellow River and go straight to Luoyang, the capital of Xijing!"

What Sun Fu said made the hearts of the people around him jump.

Back then, the Anshi Rebellion followed two lines, one in Hebei and the other in Hedong.

The core purpose of Hebei's southward movement was Bianzhou, which is the city of Tokyo in the Song Dynasty.

The core purpose of going southeast from the river is Luoyang.

Bianzhou was already the hub of water transportation in the Central Plains in the Tang Dynasty. If it is captured here, it will control the water transportation in the Central Plains.

Luoyang is the key to the communication between Guanzhong and the Central Plains. Cutting off Luoyang is equivalent to cutting off Guanzhong and the Central Plains.

Not only was the Anshi Rebellion fought according to this route, but the first Song-Jin War, the second Song-Jin War, and the third Song-Jin War were all fought in this way.

This strategy is determined by the terrain and the productivity and economic center of this era.

This time Jin Wushu sent troops to Hedong again, which was obviously beyond the expectations of the top Song Dynasty officials.

Because the defense line at the junction of Hebei and Hedong is now controlled by the Song army.

Zhao Ning fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a while, he asked, "Others, what do you think of Sun Qing's words?"

"Your Majesty, I feel that the Jin people have already controlled the heavy artillery. Now it is different from the past. The difficulty for the Jin army to capture Taiyuan City is greatly reduced. We must not sit idly by, or have the dangerous idea of ​​sacrificing the small situation to achieve the overall situation."

It was Fan Zhixu who stood up to speak.

He continued: "The Hedong battlefield is by no means a small situation. Wu Jie is at Yanmen Pass. He can't go south, let alone send troops south easily."

Having said that, Fan Zhixu stopped.

"Continue." Zhao Guanjia said lightly.

"Yue Fei's troops are sufficient, and I feel that I can transfer a troop from him to deal with the situation in Hedong."

"He's tuned in."

"Are there enough troops?"

"How much does Fan Qing think should be transferred?"

"That depends on how many Jin troops there are in Hedong." Fan Zhixu glanced at Sun Fu, and continued, "Just now, Sun Shilang said that the Jin troops should have no less than [-] troops, and I think Yue Fei should send at least [-] capable troops. "

"Others, talk about it."

Lu Yihao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is a trick that Jin Wushu played for us. If the number of Jin Wushu in Hedong is sufficient, and we send few additional support, Luojing is in danger. If the number of Jinwu in Hedong is not large, we will divide our troops." , the frontal main battlefield is damaged."

Chapter 1423 Battle of Mind (Second Change)

"In my opinion, it is impossible for Jin Wushu to send the main force to Hedong, that is a dead end!" Zhao Ning said with certainty, "He is deliberately putting pressure on me, wanting me to forcibly interfere with Yue Fei's deployment of troops, I want to give you a chance to control the battle."

When everyone heard this, they all looked at each other.

"Do you know what is the most difficult?" Zhao Guanjia continued.

Everyone was silent, but they listened with ears pricked up.

"Restraining one's desire is the hardest thing." Zhao Ning put his hands in his long sleeves and laughed, "With a hammer in your hand, you want to hit everything twice."

"You are all important officials of the imperial court. Although you don't directly command the front line, you cooperate with the army to dispatch logistics. You pay attention to the front line battle situation all the time on weekdays. You always think that you can have a clever plan to defeat the enemy at a critical moment."

The crowd said: "I dare not wait."

But Zhao Ning waved his hand and said with a smile: "You don't have to deny it, I can understand such thoughts, sometimes I really want to write to Yue Fei, tell him my thoughts on this battle, and tell him how to fight! "

"But can I do this? Does Yue Fei need me to teach you how to fight? What if I make a mistake in judging the situation? Does Yue Fei dare not listen to every word I say? If he doesn't listen, will the Military Governor's Mansion know?" Give him a hat for defying the holy will?"

"The failure since ancient times did not come from external troubles, but from within."

Everyone was taken aback by Zhao Guanjia's words.

"Jin Wushu is playing tricks on us on the surface, but he is actually attacking our hearts."

Speaking of this, you will not say more.

"This matter is actually very easy to solve. What I want now is not Yanjing. A large number of people from the north are fleeing south. Yanjing is almost becoming an empty city. My purpose is to destroy the vital forces of the Jin people. In this case, everything will be done according to The original strategy was that I was waiting for Jin Wushu at the Hejian Mansion, whether and how Yue Fei would divide his troops was up to him, and I would not lose the strategic purpose of the main battlefield in Hebei just because Hedong is now being attacked by the Jin people."

"As long as the imperial court's strategic goal in Hebei is here, Yue Fei must cooperate to complete it. I don't want to interfere with how he accomplishes it."

On the tenth day of December, Wang Gui rushed to Taiyuan Mansion.

"Report! Du Tong, the Song army is found, less than twenty miles away from our army."

"How many people came from the Song army?" Chi Zhanhui asked.

Song Jun's arrival did not surprise him.

Although the mountain road and the heavy snow can avoid the eyes and ears of the Song army, they have already arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, and the Song people have a well-developed intelligence network, so it is impossible not to know.

What Chizhanhui really cares about is how many soldiers and horses the Song Army has come, which is related to the deployment of the Song Army's troops in Hebei.

"Dutong, we can't find out how many Song troops have come?"

"Is there no way to find out the approximate number of soldiers and horses?" Chi Zhanhui said.

"All are forgiven!"

At this time, a voice suddenly came from outside: "Dutong, a Song army is approaching us quickly."

"That arrives so fast!"

Chi Zhanhui was a little surprised. The Song army started fighting as soon as they entered Taiyuan Mansion?

"How many have you come?"

"About three thousand soldiers and horses."

Appears to be a forward.

Chizhanhui also sent thousands of soldiers and horses to fight.

The two sides quickly met, and a confrontation started more than a dozen miles east of Taiyuan City.

Wang Gui sent forward so quickly because he wanted to test the Jin army.

Chizhanhui fought immediately, but he only sent a small number of soldiers and horses, because he didn't want to expose the traces of the large army.

Taiyuan City is still holding on, but many ordinary people have died in battle. If the Jin people are given another ten and a half months, Taiyuan City will be destroyed.

Once Taiyuan is conquered, the Chizhanhui Department will be able to make a large amount of supplies here, and then move forward.

It is indeed a very dangerous thing for a golden army with seasoned combat experience to go deep into Hedong and even reach the Yellow River.

The confrontation between Song and Jin continued until the evening. At this time, the reinforcements of the Jin army arrived, and the Song army retreated one after another.

On the second day, the forward of the Song Army sent troops again.

After yesterday, Chizhanhui had sent a large number of scouts to investigate the main camp of Wang Guibu. Although the information he had was limited, Chizhanhui was very satisfied with the progress.

If he detects that Wang Gui's troops are not strong, he will turn around and kill the Song army's reinforcements first.

The purpose of this is to quickly wipe out the Song Army's vital forces and prevent the Song Army from converging before more reinforcements from the Song Army arrive.

Today, he also dispatched a troop to continue to deal with the Song Army's forward.

Of course, the purpose of Wang Guifa's striker was to test the Jinren, not only to send troops, but his scouts were also collecting a lot of information.

Both sides are very restrained to control the battlefield locally, because neither side knows the strength of the other side.

On December [-]th, Wang Gui's latest information was placed on Yue Fei's table.

This summary is rather vague, because Wang Gui still has no way to really spy on the specific strength of the Jin people.

But there is also a fair amount of useful information in it.

For example, the two sides fought for several days, but the Jin people did not dispatch a large number of troops.

For example, many Jinren scouts were found nearby.

Real masters can find many key factors from the details.

He knows what to do.

Fortunately, Zhao Guan's family did not interfere with his deployment of troops. Regarding the movements of the Jin army, the Hejian Mansion was extremely quiet.

In the early morning of December [-]th, Zhang Xian, who was still eating and drinking spicy food in Yizhou, suddenly received Yue Fei's latest military order: send troops to attack Zhuozhou!

At noon on December [-], Zhang Xian's vanguard cavalry quickly set off from Yizhou and advanced towards Zhuozhou.

Knowing that the Song army had dispatched a large number of cavalry, Wanyan Xiyin, who was stationed in Zhuozhou, immediately dispatched troops to respond.

The two sides launched a large-scale raid in the snowfield and pine forest.

Focus on cavalry, shooting, and hedging. Although the forces are not as concentrated as in a positional battle, they are also extremely fierce, and each has its own outcome.

In the evening, a large number of scouts reported to Wanyan Xiyin that the main force of the Song army was advancing eastward.

December [-], Yanjing, Wei Palace.

"Is there any latest movement for the soldiers and horses in Hebei?" Wu Shu asked.

Han Qixian replied: "The intelligence that came in this morning found that the Song army was walking from Jingxing to Taihang Mountain."

Wu Shu immediately became interested: "How much did you go?"

"The strength of the troops is temporarily uncertain."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, Chizhanhui must have arrived in Taiyuan by now, and is even about to take Taiyuan. I don't believe that Zhao Guan's family can sit still after hearing this news!"

"Once Taiyuan is taken by our army, they can go south across the Yellow River and take Luojing directly. The Zhao officials will either mobilize the defenders of Yanmen Pass or the Hebei Song Army. As for how much to mobilize, according to this king, Chizhanhui fought The faster it is, the more anxious Zhao Guan's family will be!"

"The so-called attacking the heart is the first step. Your Highness's move is really superb, and let the people of Song Dynasty mess themselves up first!"

At this time, a voice came from outside.

"Report! Your Highness, Zhuozhou urgent military report, the main force of the Song army has arrived in Zhuozhou!"

Chapter 1424 The Bureau of the Golden Wushu (Part [-])

"The main force has arrived in Zhuozhou?"

Wu Shu was startled, and let the messenger come in.

He took Wanyan Xiyin's military report and looked at it.

Wanyan Xiyin's military newspaper is concise and to the point, revealing two key points:

One is the strength of the Song Army. This does not refer to the real total strength of the Song Army, because it is impossible for Wanyan Xiyin to find out the real strength of the Song Army in a short period of time.

The military strength here refers to Wanyan Xiyin's detection of military strength under the city of Zhuozhou.

About [-] or so.

The second is the arms of the Song army, mainly infantry, but the number of cavalry is at least [-].

Inferred simply from the number of cavalry, the configuration of the Song army this time is enough to show that the entire Song army is elite, and the total number of troops is more than [-].

"What's the name of the commander of Hebei Song Army?"

"Your Highness, my name is Wu Jie."

"Oh yes, yes, this king always forgets his name."

"This man is not to be underestimated."

"This king has not underestimated him, but he is not Yue Fei after all. If Yue Fei is in Hebei, this king will be a little bit afraid."

"The lower officials are dull, compared to Wu Jie, how is Yue Fei better?" Han Qixian couldn't help asking.

"Wu Jie is good at intrigue, and his use of troops is unpredictable, but the upper limit of his command of the army is about [-]. If it exceeds [-], Wu Jie's control over the army will be greatly weakened, resulting in the army's ability to cooperate and coordinate with each other. insufficient."

Wu Shu spoke confidently.

"Those people from the Wenguan came to this king all day long to offer advice and suggestions, saying that millions of troops were suppressed in Hebei, and each of them drowned the Song army with a spit. According to them, everyone can lead the army to fight, but the famous generals since ancient times Why are there so few?"

"One million troops? The population of one county is only [-]. Let the king gather fifty counties in Hebei? How many counties are there on the border of Hebei? Will each have their own thoughts? For example, this time in Liaodong, Li Cheng was defeated, and what is Wanyan Balisu's movement?"

For military issues, Wushu is at his fingertips.

Many things are very clear in his heart.

What friendly army is in trouble, immovable like a mountain, what enemy appears, each with its own ghosts, these common problems of the big army, which one of the martial arts that has experienced many battles, is not clear?

"The most powerful thing about Yue Fei is that he can solve the coordinated operations of the large armies and make the armies distributed in different places cooperate with each other. How many people can do this?"

"This time we are in a decisive battle with the Song army. I don't mention the exact number of soldiers and horses dispatched by both sides. It must be quite a lot. The Zhao official family was greedy for merit and put Yue Fei in the Anbei Mansion, and he came to Hebei to command in person. He must be afraid of Yue Fei. Stealing your own limelight, this is the biggest mistake of the Zhao family!"
