Shao Song

Vol 2 Chapter 72: Rush to aid

  Wan Yan Wushu and Han Chang left the night to cross the dragon gate. By the time they crossed the river, it was already dawn, and this day was the fourth year of Song Jianyan/the eighth year of Jintianhui, May 27.

At noon on this day, not to mention how Wushu led the 20,000 people to set foot on the road every day, and ran the road for two hundred miles for two consecutive days. He only said that he had crossed the river and set off, but he had already passed the sentry. Continuous passing, along the banks of the Yellow River, was the first to be sent to the head coach of the expedition, Wanyan Erriduo in Hezhong Mansion.

   The weather is hot, and Dili Duo, who has been living in a temple somewhere in the city, is discussing Buddhism issues with a monk under the shade of a tree, but when the officer of the Kingdom of Jin comes with a serious knife, the monk takes the initiative to stand up and salute to avoid suspicion.

   "Crossing the river?" The commoner Eriduo got up absent-mindedly to send the monk away, then turned his head and said something through.

   "Yes." The officer was caught off guard, so he could only bow his head and say yes. "The whistle rider only said this."

   "It's good to cross the river, just cross the river!" For some reason, he knew that a decisive battle was about to come, but he felt relieved all over, and then fell to sit on the stone bench under the shade of the tree, for a moment.

   In the final analysis, this battle is really hard... Or, this battle really made Jin Jun feel the hardship that he hasn't experienced for a long time.

   Let’s also say that since the Jingkang change, Zhao Song was like a beheaded person, almost reduced to a state of subjugation, and the Jin army also completely regarded the Song army as nothing.

At that time, they threw down the Central Plains and Guanzhong that they had already succeeded, and turned back, not because they didn’t want to take this world of flowers, but because they had eaten too much, and they didn’t swallow the rich land of Hebei. ?

However, who would have thought that after more than half a year, Hebei can easily swallow it, but Zhao Song has already revived, and there are resistance forces everywhere. Huazhou is difficult to cross, Shaanzhou is lost, Huaishang is blocked, a group of refugees, The defeated and fugitive officials just let that Zhao Song come back to life again.

Therefore, after another year, Jin Guo learned the lesson, but only wanted to destroy the Zhao Song center, and then supported the vassals along the Yellow River. He knew that his appetite was limited, and he had the mentality of slowly drawing. But this time However, he simply encountered an unimaginable frontal battlefield defeat. He ran away lazily and lost his military merits in the east and west.

More than a year later, this time because of Lou Shi’s instigation, the Jin army concentrated its troops again, and it was in a menacing state, but Song Jun is not what it used to be... In four years, the emperor is recognized by both inside and outside. The ministers did not dare to say anything. The political structure was kept as stable as possible. Then, with the addition of the wealth of Southeast, Lianghuai, Jingxiang, and Bashu, 200,000 imperial troops and tens of thousands were exchanged. The resurgence of the Western Army.

   From the East China Sea to Longshang, the front stretches for thousands of miles. The two sides cross the Yellow River and you come and I go back and forth. The Golden Army has not fought such a formal war for a long time.

Although all the senior leaders of the Jin Army know that the quality of the soldiers on the opposite side of the Song Army is not as good as theirs, the quality of their armor is not as good as theirs, the number of cavalry is even more ridiculous, and everyone has confidence in the Lou Shi and the West Road Army, but this huge battle situation The momentum of interacting with each other still made Wanyan Erriduo, who had originally thought it only come to take credit, felt tremendous pressure.

In fact, from the beginning of the troop dispatch, from the beginning of the mobilization, Yan Liduo and his brother Wu Shu had been in the army to talk a lot... They talked about the political situation of Ningfu and Yanjing, the situation of Song and Jin, and talked about the situation. The people in Shanxi were migrating, talking about the conflict between Meng'an Muke in Hebei and the local Han people, talking about the young Zhao Song official house to the south.

   After the war in Hezhong Mansion, he talked about Han Shizhong, Li Yanxian, Lou Shi and Yin Shu Ke, and chatting, Luoyang raid was successful, but what happened next made it difficult to understand.

Luoyang City was broken, and there was just an empty city and a left-behind mate under the dragon. This is nothing. The key is that this successful surprise attack did not cause huge ripples in the battle. The Baoshui Pass has not fallen for a long time, and the ancient road of Qiujiang has been blocked for a long time... …It seems that the fall of Luoyang City is just the fall of Luoyang City, the previous situation of breaking a little and breaking the whole line has completely disappeared.

   Then, it was the intelligence that Yue Fei led a full 40,000 Song army to appear in Hebei.

   At this time, Ruuduo didn't know if the composure of the Song Army on the South Bank was forced, but he was sure that the East Army was really panicked! Every Meng’an, every attempt, every Puliyan is worried about the property, men and women, and houses in his home, even if there are still tens of thousands of troops led by Lazy, Gao Jingshan and others in the Daming Mansion. Rest assured.

In desperation, Guriduo could only agree to the collective petition of these officers and sent forty thousand troops to return to the north, in order to leave the Huguan to force the Song army to retreat... This move is almost equivalent to giving up the forced crossing from Shanzhou or the same prefecture. Program.

   Yue Peng made this trip to the north, and the actual strategic goal was achieved from the very beginning.

However, from the moment of answering, the third prince directly recognized his fourth brother Wanyan Wushu’s many views in his heart, and also recognized the latter’s inviting 20,000 troops to wait for the Dragon Gate crossing. The support plan...because Erriduo fully realized that in any case, the relationship between Song and Jin is no longer the simple ruined relationship before.

   Even if he won this time and took Guanzhong, it was the same...unless the Zhao Song official family who was regarded as the foundation of the Song Army by his fourth brother and the main force of the Song Army were cut off in this battle.

"Third Prince……"

   Seeing that the coach was lost, he hesitated to report to the officer. "Since the Fourth Prince is crossing the river, shall we do something a little bit here?"

  Riduo suddenly came back to his senses, but immediately nodded. He also felt that it was a bit too much to push all the things and responsibilities to the fourth one. However, although the third prince felt that he had to do something, he had little experience in battle...After all, since the era of A Gu Da, the four elder princes had their own division of labor, and the boss Wan Yan Wu used to be a guard for A Gu; The second child Ori is not often the commander-in-chief of going abroad; the fourth child was young and was mostly the vanguard; and the third child, Erriduo, often stationed at the big camp.

   This job is called strategizing if it sounds good, and it is the housekeeper to supervise the battle if it sounds bad, so I don’t know how to share Wushu's burden at the moment.

   "You can concentrate your soldiers and horses, attack the flat land forcefully, and let the Song army focus on this side!" The officer faced each other carefully. "Our current military strength is actually not appropriate. If we force Pujin to cross, I am afraid that it will be self-defeating. On the contrary, it will be Pinglu, a lonely city, which will last for days. It would be fine to hesitate to sneak into Luoyang before, but you don't have to be taboo at this time... …"

   Zoriduo nodded immediately.

   It turns out that Pinglu has not yet been captured by the Jin army.

One day later, May 28th calmly arrived... Early this morning, the Hedong Golden Army, which had already been besieged the city, violently attacked and flattened the land. Li Yanxian personally commanded the troops to cross the river from Shanzhou to support. The fighting was fierce. As the most recent two theaters, and the two most closely related to actual warfare, Li Yanxian did not forget to immediately send a briefing on the battle situation to Han Shizhong to prepare the latter.

   At noon, Han Shizhong was notified, but he was hesitant...because Pujin crossing here was calm and calm.

Let’s also say that Han Liangchen, as the highest-level general, is like Li Yanxian, few people who understand the whole situation of the battle. Even he and Li Yanxian are probably the two people who know the battle situation most clearly on the entire battlefield... Luoyang fell. He knew everything clearly, and Zhao Jiu didn’t lie to him about Yue Fei’s crossing to Chang’an. He also knew about the fact that Wei Jun’s submerged to Chang’an. Before that, the situation of the Jin Army branching out a large group of troops to go north was unknown. He was in It's impossible to be unaware that there is a river here.

   And, just yesterday, he just received an official document from the official regarding the possible decisive battle in the two days, asking him to be careful about the direction of Pujin and the direction of Longmen.

   But now, Pu Jindu has calmly gone too far. Instead, Pinglu City, which is already irrelevant, has been under siege.

In just a moment, Han Shizhong, who was stationed on the Yellow River, smelled something that made him nervous, frightened, but excited, and then he immediately sent a messenger to let the troops guarding Liangshan area cross the Liangshan area with thousands of dollars. Man-made scale, divided into several stocks, and carried out forward investigation...The battlefield is so big, Han Shizhong has no reason not to think of Longmendu.

   Of course, it is reasonable to say that Han Shizhong smelled these things at this time is no longer important, because according to Lou Shi's arrangement, this day should be the time of the decisive battle.

   Everything should be too late.

   However, as of this day, Han Shizhong sent an envoy to the north, and the entire Yaoshan-Wulongshan-Baishui area was as calm as ever.

   Until noon, Lou Shi did not send any soldiers and horses, and the entire Golden Army camp was the same as in previous days.

   If there is any difference, it is that the weather is a little dull, but it still doesn't rain.

   In the afternoon, Lou Shi still did not send troops, and Han Shizhong's troops on the south side of Liangshan had begun to rush north.

And at this time, Song Jun’s coach Wu Jie fell into a great self-doubt... Ordinary people have already noticed the dullness of the weather, but Jin Jun did not attack, which made him feel a little shaken. He hesitated, and then doubted all his judgments.

   Although the Zhao official's house on the foothills in the rear did not have the slightest words, Wu Da still had an obvious sense of shame.

   He lost again and again, but the officials got bigger and bigger, and finally won once. He also got an unprecedented opportunity for this, but he lost again and again. What strategy, what response, open and dark, all have no effect.

In the evening, seeing the Jin Jun still not moving, Wu Jie thought about it for a long time, but after all, it was like yesterday. With the assistance of Kobayashi, he summoned the generals and signed the official military order again, asking the whole army to do it in the early morning of the next day. Fan, each battalion inspected weapons and materials... It seemed that they had continued their preparatory posture, and also insisted on their own judgment.

   He can't figure out where he made a mistake.

However, after the military order was issued and the sun had not yet set, Wu Jie locked himself in the army's tent, holding his head and not even eating a mouthful of melon... 100,000 people, Guanxi six roads, and official safety. Although we should not hesitate to receive the favor of the officials, who knows this pressure?

   "The war will start tomorrow."

   After sunset, just after dinner was spent everywhere in the Golden Army camp, Lou Shi summoned all the senior officers of the army and calmly announced the fact. "Originally it should be today, but the Fourth Prince and his 20,000 reinforcements were difficult to march, and it was difficult to lose time... No blame, the Fourth Prince, it was my problem. I estimated it based on the speed of our march along the Beiluo River, but I underestimated the difficulty of marching for a large number of troops, and I didn't expect that the East Route Army had never marched in such a plateau."

  Below the speed of pull, the generals of the Jin army are not worried but happy, because 20,000 reinforcements, even if they are rushing for assistance, are enough to change the overall situation.

   "But also be careful of the extra reinforcements of the Song Army." Lou Shiduan sat in the tent, and continued to calmly explain the situation. "The Fourth Prince was originally scheduled to go to the North Luoshui River last night, and then led the cavalry to rush south today, but in fact, the chaos hit Fangzhou this morning, and the location was a lot to the north, and There are a lot of lost soldiers... Fangzhou, Fangzhou City can’t hold many soldiers. Qu Duan must be stationed in the south of Yijun area. I may not be aware of it. If he is aware of it, he may also be extremely fast tomorrow. Go south to support."

   "It is also possible that they will rush northward, join forces with Wu Lin in Fangzhou City, attack Hekou Camp, and cut off my back." Pulling Lisu interjected and reminded him expressionlessly. "It's also possible that she didn't notice it, but the living woman moved, and she can't say it will disturb him!"

   Lou Shi took a look at Ba Lisu, and nodded slightly: "I know, so the living girl will guard the Hekou Camp tomorrow and will not take risks rashly..."

   Pull Lisu shut up immediately.

   "Everyone!" At this point, Lou Shi suddenly stood up and looked around with the knife on his waist. "If Quduan does not help tomorrow, it will be 50,000 to 80,000. If Quduan comes to help, it will only be the end of the crossbow. It will be useless except for a few cavalry... But in any case, the fighter has already appeared, so there is no need to hesitate... Any of you still have a little bit of words, I promise you to talk now!"

   The generals looked at each other, of course they were speechless.

   "Are you sure?" In the middle of the night, because of day suspicion, Han Shizhong, who took the initiative to lead the army to the front of Tongzhou Zhongbu Temple, was awakened by his subordinates, and then received a news that did not surprise him.

   "It's true!" The subordinate who reported the message panted again and again, but hurriedly repeated it again. "Jin Jun's large unit passed by the north of Liangshan yesterday, and it kept going all day. The local mountain people could see clearly that it was much more than ours... Dong Tongzhi asked his subordinates to report this time without hesitation. ."

   There are more than three thousand troops, it is tens of thousands of troops, and what I saw yesterday, it should not have arrived in Beiluoshui or even Baishui long ago.

In this regard, Han Shizhong, who had a judgment in his heart, remained silent, and could only remain silent...because he had no one to discuss, his troops and his capable subordinates were distributed in several cities and several positions along the river at this time. on.

   Moreover, he doesn't need to think about any extra words, there are only two choices at the moment, or not.

Once aided, the soldiers and horses at the positions along the river and Pujindu could not move, and there was no time to move, and if some cities, such as the northwest defense Loushi invaded Chengcheng and other places in Tongzhou, it was because they were in the sentry of Loushi camp. Within the scope of the investigation, once dispatched, it is likely to be immediately noticed by the Jin Jun, and then self-defeating.

   Therefore, at this time, he can dispatch Han Shizhong and ensure that he can rush to the Yaoshan battlefield tomorrow. In fact, there is only a team of Beiwei Army and Changle Xu Shian, a total of seven or eight thousand people.

   Seven or eight thousand people rushed to the battlefield. It is very likely that they will not be able to catch up with the decisive battle. It is still unknown how much combat power will remain after catching up. This is by no means cost-effective.

   But after only a few breaths of silence, Han Shizhong has already made a decision... After all, the officials are so kind to him, how could he not help him by pouring Han Wu? In other words, between these few breaths, Han Shizhong did not consider the issue of aid or not, he was just thinking about the issue of military strength.

   After all, he splashed Han Wu and he was not the kind of **** like Qu Da!

When the time came in the early morning, I missed a full day and was destined to have a huge and unknowable impact on the battle. Under the pressure of huge non-combat attrition, he still followed Wu Shu and Han Chang. Started to move south along Beiluoshui. However, I have to say that this time because of the river channel, the speed of the Jinjun was much faster than the previous two days.

  Almost at the same time, Han Shizhong of Tongzhou, after making some preparations, officially led his troops westward. At the same time, his messenger went to Changle Town, which was already on the North Luoshui River, to inform Xu Shian who was stationed there.

Almost at the same time, the Jinjun camp took the lead in rising conspicuous cooking smoke~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Soon afterwards, the commander of the Shanxi marching army, the actual commander Wanyanlou of this day’s expedition to Guanxi, issued an order for this day. The first military order-30,000 troops, except for two Hezha Meng'an, each of whom should receive a bag filled with soil before they can receive meals.

   Just like this, after daybreak, the full-feasted Golden Army led the war horse and the cart, and almost exhausted various methods to carry a bag of soil that belonged to him, and then poured out.

   The whistle rides in a panic and reports that the Song Army camp received the news, and the whole line was shaken, like an enemy.

   But then, the sentry cavalry reported again that although most of the Golden Army had more cavalry, they moved slowly, but they only went to the Jinsu Mountain, which is due to the east of the Song Army camp and the north of the Golden Army camp.

   At this time, it was already considered a serious day, and Song Army commander Wu Jie hesitated for a moment, only sent a small group of two thousand troops, rushed forward, and made a symbolic preemptive gesture to Jinsu Mountain.

   No matter what, so far, both the Song and Jin armies have formally sent troops, and it is Zhao Jiu who has begun to wear armour and bow with the assistance of Yang Yizhong.

   This day was May 29th in the fourth year of Jianyan. The weather was a little dull, but there were no rain clouds.
