Vol 2 Chapter 36: send troops

Zhao Guan's family is embarrassing!

He moved the Privy Council to Yushan Camp early, and also divided the two ministers of the capital into two divisions in Nanyang and Xiangyang, and he himself sat in the army, as if he was facing a major enemy but was quite decisive. Looks like.

In fact, after he entered the camp on the first day, he kept saying things like ‘it won’t take too long’ in the army house.

However, the Jinren had not been seen for the entire July. By August, all parts of Henan had been deployed and the city was deployed. Even the most dangerous Li Yanxian department received two rounds of ordnance and gunpowder from Nanyang. Now, there is still no Jinren's main force to cross the river... In a trance, not to mention Nanyang's officials, even the front-line generals and the Zhao official family thought that the Jinren would not return, and even the imperial decree could not be said to be an extremely effective strategic deception.

But at the beginning of August, there was finally news that it was confirmed that Emperor Jin's imperial decree was indeed effective, but it made the Zhao official family and the entire Nanyang Center embarrassing together.

It turned out that the Jin Army did not take immediate action. They took decisive action in early July, but from then on, they encountered a strong counterattack from the entire Hebei Rebels... Let’s say, compared with the thriving situation in Nanyang, Since the Jinren regard Hebei as a confidant place, since last year, a large number of Jinren have been relocated to various places in Meng'an and Mou Ke on a large scale. However, when the Jinren nobles came to Hebei, they naturally wanted to seize fertile land and livestock population. . Coupled with the aftermath of last year's war, Hebei is basically in a situation of economic collapse and displacement of the people. It is a constant resistance.

As for this time, 200,000 golden people went south, but they were about to be newly resettled everywhere in Meng'an, Hebei. The first large-scale, formal, and spontaneous expropriation and plundering of Hebei was carried out by Meng'an, while the backward system of Jin Guo And barbaric style, and doomed to the brutality and destructiveness of this expropriation.

You know, Han people are not two-legged sheep, or two-legged sheep that have to scream, kick, and bite before being cut?

As a result, the Jin Army was in trouble from the beginning of the work of pooling forces, and the Hebei Rebels also grew again... In fact, if the Zhao Guanjia really had enough revolutionary consciousness and knowledge of revolution, he would suddenly come out and join the big and small Zhai. The Hedong Red Turban Army should be awakened.

But no matter what, it is not only the corrupt Song Dynasty ruling class who ignores the people’s power. The Jin people have paid a blood price for this... After determining the route of entry and other general plans, Nianhan himself led a small group of troops from Yanjing went south to prepare to sit in the Daming Mansion. However, he encountered a group of rebels in the middle and was almost taken prisoner. He fled back to Yanjing in embarrassment.

By mid-July, the golden army from Guanwai and Youyan had assembled, not to mention that Meng'an and Muke were in place everywhere in Hebei, and even the Junzhou Fucheng in Hebei had lost three!

In desperation, the third crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Erliduo, as Yanjing’s “military stay”, could only take the assembled Guanwai and Youyan soldiers and horses from north to south, even though it was within the original plan, But an unexpectedly difficult sweeping trip.

It wasn't until the end of July that they were in Zhending Mansion, Hebei, not far from Yanjing, and they struggled to defeat the 200,000 Wumashan Volunteers led by Deputy Marshal Ma and Xinwang Zhao Zhen.

However, I don’t know if anyone still remembers someone’s instructions on Huai, which is the so-called saying, "Don’t ask for field battles or wave battles, but keep your strength in order to respond in the future."... Anyway, Erriduo didn’t do anything afterwards. I did not see the actual leader of Wuma Mountain, their old friends of the Great Golden Kingdom, and the so-called chief of the North Song Dynasty, Ma Kuo and Ma Zichong.

Even, only three days later, news of Ma Kuo and King Xin came from the northern foot of Taihang Mountain to the west of Zhending. Then countless defeated soldiers slid into the Taihang Mountain after hearing the news, and the momentum instantly revived. The previous battle was not so much a battle as a necessary cover for a strategic shift.

The Jin Army, who had just won the victory, was disappointed...For the cavalry from Liaodong and Youyan, field battles on the ground were one thing, and drilling through the mountains was another.

"I thought, if I saw Majia officials on the battlefield, and read about Liaodong’s love back then, I would pretend that I didn’t see them, let him go, and just catch the king of believers, who I imagined that there was one more kind official in the past, but now he is so cunning.” In Zhending Mansion, on the main hall of a large mansion that was almost empty, there were only two people waiting to drink, and among them, the third prince of Jin Guo Wanyan. Ulliduo looked at the wine and meat in front of him, and listened to the mid-autumn rain in the courtyard, only feeling dull. "Fourth, you were still young, but do you still remember him?"

"How can I not remember?"

Wan Yan Wushu raised his **** and squinted at the direction of the door. Outside the open door, due to the raging autumn rain, there was no one in there. Even some confidant guards were allowed to hide in the porch to drink. "I remember when he shot an arrow, my father turned his head and said to Nianhan, as long as there is one of the 100 young officials of the Song State who is similar to this Ma Jiao, he must abide by the covenant..."

"I still underestimated him at that time." Wanyan Erriduo sighed softly. "Although it's just a gang of mobs, but it's just a loss of war horses without weapons, no experience and courage, 200,000 people are really real... Then he is nothing in a million, and there are always there, right?"

"It's not as boring as there is nothing in a million, but it depends on the respective situation and national luck."

Wan Yan Wushu disapproved. "At that time, we were in the poor mountains and bad waters. Although we won two battles, we were only a few thousand elites. Even the Jurchen Headquarters could not be gathered together. The Liao Kingdom was even more distant. Why did we talk about Song people? At that time, we watched Song. People naturally have to relax and think...because they have a million troops and we only have 10,000 people, so as long as they have no one in a hundred, we naturally dare not think about it. But after the Liao Dynasty is destroyed, we also have two or three. A hundred thousand army, and looking at the Song people's millions of army, you will feel that as long as the Song people do not produce a figure like a Jurchen hero from five people, they can go to fight."

Wanyan Erliduo thought for a while with her ears erected, and then slightly nodded: "I know what you want to say from the bottom of your heart... You want to say that now the Henan Song Dynasty Yuying plus Tokyo is up to 200,000, as long as it is not Among the two or three people, there is a character who is comparable to our Jurchen good sons, and we are enough to run rampant, so don’t waste time in Hebei, it is the right thing to go south quickly, and once it drags on for a long time, the Song people’s military force in Jiangnan will be ready , It’s easy to get into trouble... Does that mean?"

"The third brother understands my mind." Wan Yan Wushu raised a glass to face each other, nodding sternly.

Wanyan Zuriduo also raised a glass to face his brother, and then drank each one.

"Wu Shu, although I know that you want to go south is selfish, but I don't feel that you have a bad reason." Wan Yan Zuri Duo put down the wine glass, but he took advantage of the trend to raise the immediate predicament. "Just what about Hebei now? Isn't Ma Kuo not chasing after him? The South Bazi Army doesn't deal with it? Let's not talk about the West Route Army. Last year, Nianhan was almost caught alive by the Red Scarf on his way to Yanjing... Hebei is the foundation laid down by our Great Golden State, and the Central Plains and Jiangnan will probably be separated out as vassals in view of the will of the country's lord."

"Third Brother, this is putting the cart before the horse." Wan Yan Wushu sneered. "I ask you, why should Zhongyuan and Jiangnan be separated as vassals?"

"It's about two reasons." Uriduo frowned slightly and raised his glass. "One is that our Jurchens do not adapt to the southern climate. As long as the weather in Central Plains is hot, there is no intention to fight. What's more, people say that there are thousands of miles of people in the Southern Song Dynasty to the Central Plains, and it is even hotter there; the other..."

"The other is that there are too many people in Song Dynasty, and they resisted tightly." Wu Shu sneered even more. "After all, we only have 120,000 fundamental elites. Counting all the places that the Liao region surrenders, plus Hebei's surrenders, the maximum is 300,000. It's not bad that this soldier can hold down Hebei. What about Central Plains and Jiangnan? Not to mention that. One hundred and twenty thousand'fundamentals' are still dead at the moment, and one has to be used on the blade. It is like this time in Wumashan. We all know that the believer is fake, and Ma Jiao belongs to Wumashan. It’s the backbone, but the third brother, you still want to let Ma Kuo go after the war, why? I don’t know that Ma Kuo can’t get rid of this king of faith, and that belief in kings is a fake and can inflame people’s hearts.”

Ulliduo narrowed his eyes slightly. Of course he knew what his brother meant, and Wan Yan Wushu didn't say any more. The two brothers just looked at the rain in the courtyard in silence.

"It's still the same sentence, I know that the fourth child is selfish, but you can't refute it." After an unknown period of time, Erriduo sighed. "You are right. Only by killing the Song Emperor in the south can the world be peaceful..."

"I'm really not selfish." Wanyan Wushu poured a glass of wine into his belly, but his eyes turned red in an instant. "They all said that I urged me to go south for personal enmity. The eldest brother thinks so, and the third brother thinks so...Especially the third brother, everyone has benefited this time, only you did not get it, and there is obviously a grievance against me in my heart. , But I still want to say that the Song emperor to the south is not a mortal bird! People like Ma Jiao, when the two of the Five Kingdoms City were in power, could only be kept in the prison of Zhending Mansion. Waiting for us to save him from the friendship in the past, but now we are replaced by the new emperor, and a decree has given Wumashan two people, and we are entangled in this. Isn't it clear enough?"

Wan Yan Er Li Duo hesitated to speak but stopped.

"What else is the Hebei law and order... the law and order ass?!" Wanyan Wushu became more and more angry. "Hebei’s poor public security is rooted in the south. Why did you go south last year? It’s not to get rid of the two wings, cut off the traffic between Hebei and the south, and then Hebei will be in peace? Why is it that I am selfish today?!"

Uriduo sighed slightly: "I didn't mean to blame you blindly. As soon as the second brother left, we would be supported by our brothers in the army. It's really hard to face up."

"It doesn't matter, just treat it as pure selfishness. I have lost my mind for revenge, but what I said is wrong? Shouldn't I drop these altars and pots and go south?" Wanyan Wushu became more angry. "As long as the south can show its power and prestige, what about Ma Kuo and the Bazi Army? As long as the Emperor of Song State runs away from Nanyang with his tail between his tails, do you think Hebei will be safe? When he catches up, he will kill the emperor with a single knife. Hebei, the world is peaceful! I can't say that I will stay in the Central Plains and enjoy the beautiful scenery, and I won't come back to make you angry!"

Guriduo sighed again, but finally said: "You still want to go south now? Regardless of Ma Kuo and the Eight-character Army?"

"Yes~www.wuxiaspot.com~How do you plan to fight?"

"The third brother is not a river, so don't worry about it."

"Do I just have to hold Nianhan for you, so that the assistance soldiers of the West Route Army can dispatch troops in time?"

"Not bad."

"If you are lazy, I need to press it for you."

"No, he dare not break the promise!"

Neriduo slowly nodded, then stood up and sighed: "Go away, I will slowly gather soldiers and horses behind to support you."

Wan Yan Wushu didn't say a word, stood up directly, endured the severe pain of the wound on a rainy day, almost limply walked into the rain, not even holding an umbrella, and did not call anyone to serve.

Looking at his own brother's back, Suriduo frowned slightly, but didn't know what else to say.

In early August, the autumn harvest on the south bank of the Yellow River was gradually completed, and the Jinren still had no information, and even the main force of the Eight Characters Army of the North Taihang did not have a large share of intelligence to return.

In a trance, the Song Jun who was waiting in battle on the south bank of the Yellow River was about to turn into a joke.

At this time, the coaches in various theaters who had already received the ‘self-exclusive power’ clearly announced by Nanyang also had other thoughts.

On the eighth day of August, Zhang Jun tentatively launched an attack on Yizhou and succeeded in the first battle. In other words, the local thieves in Yizhou chose to surrender actively.

On August 12, Zhang Suo, located in Shangqiu, Nanjing, ordered Yue Fei, Zhang Rong, and Kong Yanzhou, who was born in the Song army on JD.com and occupied Yanzhou area after the turmoil last year, to join forces to advance northward in an attempt to occupy Jinan Prefecture before the arrival of the golden man. .

On August 16th Mid-Autumn Festival, Yue Fei was ordered to lead Wanjun out.

However, on August 18, before leaving the territory of Dongping Mansion under the jurisdiction of Zhang Rong in the north, Yue Fei, the town caretaker of Jeju, ran into countless defeated troops of Zhang Rong's head.
