Shao Song

On the 22nd of the first lunar month, Han Shizhong led 25,000 troops from the imperial camp to Chang'an.

The reason it was a little later than the expected date was not that Han Shizhong only bullied Xin Xingzong in Wuguan, nor was it the effect of rain...There was no rain on the road in Wuguan...but because the first general recognized by the Song Army came out of Wuguan. Soon after, through the early warning of the sentinel, local officials and Yu Wenxu, the impropriety of Jin Jun was discovered:

A total of 20,000 elite cavalrymen, led by the eldest son of Wanyan Lou's living daughter, were motionless in Huazhou, located between Shanzhou and Jingzhaofu (Chang'an), as if they were waiting for him.

Therefore, Han Shizhong responded immediately.

On the one hand, he ordered the division of troops so that a part of the soldiers and horses would occupy the city along the way as a strategic fulcrum. On the other hand, he let the main force slow down and move forward carefully, making sure that the army is not exposed to the direct threat of the golden army cavalry.

But when the troops moved on to Lantian, the key link between Wuguan Road and Luoshui Road, the Golden Army in Huazhou still had no intention of blocking head-on, so he made up his mind to leave the Black Dragon King with 5,000 to assist the Yuwen Xuzhong faction. The incoming guard defended Lantian, and then he and the main force of more than 20,000 suddenly accelerated and rushed to Chang'an.

Then came to Chang'an City in peace.

In other words, Chang'an City in the Song Dynasty was definitely not Tang Chang'an, which had an area of ​​nearly 100 square kilometers in the past, but it was still a giant city under the sky. Therefore, Han Shizhong calmly led the crowd into the city and immediately ordered small camps to be set up in front of each gate for shelter.

But that's all. As Han Shizhong's army entered Chang'an, the golden army, which had been quiet as a virgin, suddenly dispatched. The power of the cavalry was undoubtedly manifested on the plain. The connection between the cities was instantly swept away, the village was lit, and the bridge stronghold. Occupied, once a small group of soldiers and horses are exposed, it will be a disaster.

Twenty thousand cavalry can be said to have swept both sides of the Weishui River, and the striker broke into Chang'an City like a storm.

Many cities along the way were photographed under the prestige of the Jinjun strong and Wanyan Loushi father and son. They surrendered directly under fear. Those who did not surrender, obviously it was in spring, but shivered like withered leaves after autumn.

But almost overnight, the female army of Wanyan Huo directly advanced to Baqiao and set up a key camp accordingly.

To be honest, if Han Shizhong had not come, Chang'an City would have been panicked in the face of this momentum, especially the huge capital of Jingzhao, the ancient capital of a thousand years, part of which collapsed a lot because of the earthquake that year, and then although it has been supplemented But it also seems to be less acquainted...It's really hard to say whether the city can be kept.

But isn't this the so-called official daring who dares to be the first of the world to splash Han five times back to Kansai? Didn’t the 25,000 Yuying Zuojun come to Chang’an City?

Han Shizhong, who had just established a walled village under the city, took advantage of the fact that most of the gold army had not fully piled up in front of the city. After a little understanding of the city defense structure, he actually relied on the advantages of the city’s camp and the strength of the army to take the initiative to go out of the city to meet:

On this day, he first let Cheng Min, who was promoted to control officer, led only three thousand cavalry soldiers out of the city to attack. The so-called backing of the city and the support of the small camp in front of the gate of Zhucheng were to communicate with the cavalry of the Jin army; then, he took advantage of the support of the Jinjun cavalry. When Jin Jun's attention was distracted, he suddenly let Xie Yuan rate destroy the side army to attack...

The four thousand destructive troops rushed out from the small camps in front of multiple city gates, and some of them were simply suspended from a certain city wall, in order to gather as many as possible in a specific position in the shortest time. .

When the Jin Jun woke up and came to respond, the strong crossbow formation had already succeeded in carrying the city. The Jin Jun was afraid of casualties and hesitated for a while.

At this time, thousands of people, led by the governing officer and deputy king, gushed out of the city, and everyone was carrying a bag of soil, until they left the front of the destructive army, and then left... I dared to hesitate, and the result of the military discussion was reached immediately, and then the five thousand cavalry began to pounce on their horses, but it was too late.

The Song Army crossbowmen fought the Jin Army calmly with simple fortifications, and Han Shizhong also personally led his troops to stand out from the flanks. Nearly ten thousand troops from both sides fought fiercely within a narrow range of one to three miles in front of the city, only within two quarters of an hour. Throwing hundreds of corpses, but in any case, the Golden Army has always been difficult to drive out the elite crossbow troops in front of the city, and watched as the fortifications in this area became more and more complicated, and the cavalry became weaker and weaker.

In the end, because of the lack of generals, several Meng An who could not support the casualties gathered again and simply withdrew, and Song Jun succeeded in establishing a village here.

On the second day, Jin Jun suddenly realized that the real purpose of Han Shizhong’s attack was to destroy the wall behind Xinzhai, which was the part of Chang'an City that collapsed and was rebuilt because of the earthquake before it was breached by the Wanyan Lou Chamber. .

In other words, as soon as Han Shizhong arrived, he took the lead to make up for the biggest hidden danger of city defense by taking the initiative to attack.

This afternoon, the Wanyan living girl who had just returned from Weibei to Baqiao Daying kept coming to Chang'an again. He circled the city and saw that the Chang'an city wall was tall and the Song army was highly motivated and well-equipped. They were the same as those marching troops, one at the head and two big. In desperation, the golden army simply ordered the front-line troops. He returned to Baqiao Daying with him as much as possible, and then wrote to his father complaining.

Of course, it may be somewhat inaccurate to say that it is complaining, because living girls are not afraid of hard fights.

But the problem is that in this situation, it is obviously unwise to attack a city, especially for tens of thousands of cavalry. Instead of looking for field battles, they divide their forces and attack the city. This is a tactical decision made by a stupid... Li Yanxian is better to deal with.

However, the only problem is that this idiot is a famous general who has beaten invincible hands throughout East Asia, and is the most admired and respected father of the living girl, so this person will not be so stupid!

Therefore, the living girl gradually realized that his father had other plans, and he had to ask his father, what exactly was his plan?

You can do it hard, you can throw the army under the strong city regardless of the casualties, and even let him finish the life of the living girl, but he needs his father to speak plainly.

As long as he speaks out, he is willing to go through fire and water for his father, and he can guarantee that hundreds of thousands of people on the West Road Army are willing to go through fire and water along with it!

In the second half of the first month of the first month, just after Wan Yan Huo Nu sent her autograph letter to make some decisive psychological preparations, in just two days, Wan Yan Lou Shi rushed to Baqiao in person... After all, to her son, especially this The eldest son who has already achieved the totality, Wanyan Loushi didn't need to be too mysterious.

"I asked you to go to Weibei to investigate the soldiers and horses of Jingyuan Road and Yanhu Road, that is, where are Hu Yin and Wu Jie now? How many soldiers and horses are there?"

The weather was fine, and Wanyan Loushi, who had recovered from his usual vigor, galloped to Baqiao, and saw willow trees sprouting along the river, all green. It was also refreshing. Without the torment of the previous rainy days, he simply did not enter the barracks. Instead, He stood under the willow tree on the banks of the Bashui River, and called his son out of the camp, and then heard a little.

"Return to Daddy." The living girl hurried out of the camp, seeing her father relaxed and happy, but also feeling slightly relieved, so she simply dismounted, stepped forward and hugged each other's leg, and replied directly at the riverside. "Hu Yin's children have personally checked it out... After we went south to Tongguan, they divided the troops directly. Wu Lin, the brother of the Wu brothers, was still stationed in Luojiao to guard against the direction of Yan'an. He personally took Wu Jie and led the tens of thousands of people on Jingyuan Road south, and arrived in Fuping about four or five days ago, probably because Han Shizhong had already entered the customs at that time and Chang'an City sent a message, so he stopped."

"Similar to what I thought, after Qu Duan was moved away, at least no one in the Western Army dared to stand on their own weight... the last time they came here, but they didn't see such a beautiful view here." Lou Shi looked around, nodding his head repeatedly, and said casually. "What about the reinforcements of Bashu and the rest of the Western Army?"

"Bashu is really unclear, but the soldiers and horses of Qinfeng Road have been concentrated in Wugong and Yinxian areas before 7 or 8 days ago. There are also tens of thousands of people. It should be Yuwenxu who knows that Han Shizhong's army is coming, so let them stay behind for assistance. ...But my child guessed that it might be that Zhang Jun led Ba Shu and Xihe Road to gather reinforcements and be a general reserve, but there is no specific information at the moment, so it is difficult to determine." The live female strong still responded patiently according to the doubts in her heart.

In any case, this is his basic responsibility as a subordinate.

"In other words." Lou Shi immediately felt thoughtful when he heard the words. "Let's go south, Jingyuan Road, Yanju Road, Qinfeng Road did not have any delays, and just like the east, come to help in the shortest time?"

"Yes." The living girl replied earnestly. "After one year of cultivation, Song Jun is somewhat energetic."

"Not counting Xihe Road, it's just these three groups and Jingzhao's Western Army, about how many people? How powerful is it?"

"The number is not clear, about thirty or forty thousand is not enough." The living girl gave the answer definitely. "In terms of combat power, apart from Jingyuan Road, that is, Quduan that day, now that the tens of thousands of people led by the Wu Jie brothers are considered elite, the rest of the soldiers and horses are far inferior to the elite soldiers of the imperial camp, and the ordnance is far inferior... …"

"I have also asked the local officials who surrendered in the past few days." Lou Shi nodded repeatedly. "The Western Army uses Bashu money and food, but it has just been rebuilt for half a year, so it looks unbearable... However, if the money and food are always supplied, with the resistance of the Song people in Shaanxi, and the care of the Song emperor in Tokyo, this group of soldiers Sooner or later, the horse will become more elite, and I estimate that the number will be 50,000...You are right?"

"Yes." The living girl responded altogether, but she was planning to confess to her father.

"Then wait." Lou Shi pondered for a while before speaking again. "I want to see if Zhang Jun is here, and how many people can he bring?"

The living woman wanted to speak but stopped.

"I know." Lou Shi glanced at his son immediately and calmly ordered. "With this month as the limit, we will withdraw our troops as soon as Zhang Jun comes, and if Zhang Jun doesn't come, let's withdraw our troops too!"

However, the living girl was already dumbfounded when she heard the word "withdraw troops" in her ears.

When Lou Shi saw this, he smiled: "You write to me and ask for an explanation. How can I be surprised if I came here to give you an explanation today?"

There was a mess in the living woman’s mind. It took half a day to sort out the beginning and the end of the battle—they came up for a surprise attack on New Year’s Eve, and then the whole army was delayed in Tongguan for more than ten days, waiting for the Song Army reinforcements to arrive. When all the Song Army reinforcements arrive, they will withdraw.

From the perspective of the situation, this is correct...Since Chang'an and Shanzhou cannot be defeated, they should simply withdraw their troops. But the question is, if this is the case, why did five to sixty thousand elites come south this time?

If I knew that, why bother?

"Daddy." The living girl tried to clean up her mood, and continued to hold her father's thigh to ask. "If we go back like this, aren't we going to be jokes quickly?"

"Dare he try to laugh in person?" Lou Shi couldn't help laughing immediately. "I asked him to wait until the reinforcements arrived before attacking Shaanzhou. He didn't even have the courage to talk to me in person. He can only tell the second one, now he has it?"

The living girl became more and more at a loss.

"It's all good land." Lou Shi suddenly turned his head, and immediately pointed at the surrounding wilderness with his whip. "Tell the Han people in the surrounding villages, don't delay the farming time, you should come out to sow and sow... In the last few days, you should also restrain the crowd, no private plundering, no killing, and no trampling on the fertile land."

"Why?"

The living girl didn't hear the last words at all, so he still asked this question with a mentality of being puzzled by the attack.

"Because of such a good field, it will be ours in autumn!" Lou Shi raised his head and laughed, shaking his helmet back and forth to open the willow branches. "As for you, if you feel that you have lost face in this battle, please make a break when you retreat, and see if you can fight the Western Army all at once and make them suffer."

At this point, Lou Shi directly stretched his legs and kicked his son lightly, and then walked along the Bahe with the reins to watch the willows, and ignored military affairs.

At the end of the first month, Zhang Jun still had no news. Wanyan Loushi no longer hesitated, and ordered the entire army to return from the original road. Tens of thousands of elite cavalry, like arms and fingers, instantly merged between Tongguan and Huayin, and then headed north in an orderly manner. .

Seeing this shape, Li Yanxian immediately dispatched troops to carefully regain lost ground, and divided his troops into Li Qiong to cross the river to Pinglu; Han Shizhong did not hesitate, and immediately supervised tens of thousands of teachers to advance in an orderly manner; seeing this, Wu Jie also persuaded Hu Yin, As a capital, he led five thousand Jingyuan Army and five thousand Qinfeng Road reinforcements, and they all pursued eastward.

However, the eager Jingyuan road governor Wu Jie led his department to cross Beiluoshui from Changle Town, Huazhou, but met the Wanyan living girl and her tribe with 10,000 horseback riders.

The two sides 10,000 vs. 10,000, but infantry vs. cavalry, unprepared vs. prepared. After a battle, the Western Army was defeated, and the collapse could not be stopped. When Wu Jie fled back to the west bank of Beiluoshui, he checked the troops. , The whole army actually lost nearly half.

Of course, there is also good news. When Wanyan Saba in the direction of Shanzhou tried to withdraw, he encountered Li Qiong's pursuit and Zhongtiao Mountain's ambushing Zhao Cheng's obstruction. After a big defeat at the foot of the mountain, this golden army simply avoided it.

But no matter what

The spring breeze in February was like scissors. Not only did the spring breeze bring green eyes to the Guanzhong Plain, it also sent away tens of thousands of cavalry from the West Route Army of the Golden Army... Under all eyes, it is not to be faked. The main force of the Golden Army directly passed the Pujin Floating Bridge. Enter the boundary of Hezhongfu, the core area of ​​Golden Kingdom rule.

But at this time, because of the muddy spring rain, Zhang Jun and the Xingyuan Mansion (Hanzhong), Xihe Road and other reinforcements he led, just rushed to Fengxiang.

All kinds of news gathered in Luoyang in a mess, and then spread to Tokyo.

Among them, Tokyo is naturally full of joy... Because no matter how you say the details, no matter how many specific wins and losses, the main force of the Jin army will return without success, and this means that the Henan region is invincible, and it means that the court of the Song Dynasty. Increasingly stable in the Yellow River Basin.

So, of course, there is no problem in Tokyo, an increasingly bustling city, being excited about this.

But in Luoyang, perhaps because the city was still a dead city a year ago, there were not too many waves.

Even on the contrary, when it comes to Zhao Guan's house who has been in this city for nearly a month, at this moment, this person has an unprecedented sense of incomprehension and panic.

It must be known that before the start of this'war', the Zhao Guanjia judged that Song Jin will have a battle to determine the fate of the two sides. For Song, the success or failure of this battle is related to whether it can completely establish a foothold in the Yellow River Basin. Therefore, after Wanyan Loushi went south , He was quite relieved.

Moreover, he has made up his mind to smash the pot and sell iron and throw everything out to win this battle.

However, as the battle progressed, Wanyan Lou’s procrastination and halting made everyone, including Zhao Jiu, seem suspicious. But with the reinforcements in place, as Zhao Jiu marched to Luoyang, he saw the peace with his own eyes. After judging the absolute strategic advantage of one's side, he gradually gained confidence and a sense of practicality.

However, this sense of practicality came to an abrupt end after the Wanyan Lou room suddenly withdrew.

This is not that Zhao Jiu feels absurd alone, everyone feels unbelievable... To put it vulgarly, the pants are all taken off, you will give this to the Song Dynasty the first general of the Kingdom of Kings?

However, with the complete withdrawal of the troops from Wanyanlou's room, the accompanying Privy Council officials and military officers at all levels had to take the initiative to find reasons for the other party.

Some people think that there has been a major disturbance in the Kingdom of Jin and that Lou Shi has to go back to fight for power. Others think that Wanyan Lou Shi is old and weak, and no longer has the courage of the past, and even his physical condition has seriously affected his commanding ability; there are also It is believed that this time the Jin army is in Xuanhe's military force, and there is no real strategic intention, so once the Song army is fully assembled, they will naturally withdraw.

Of course, as a traverser, as a person who has been accustomed to the world map, and who firmly believes that there will be a war, of course, Zhao Guan’s family also had a unique conjecture of his own... Sometimes he would think, Wan Yan Lou Shi Zhe Does the inexplicable and unobtainable "Great Invasion" seem to be doing large-scale strategic investigations for the real Great Invasion?

And if it is, suppose it is.

So does a military plan that requires 50,000 to 60,000 cavalry to spend a month to do reconnaissance exist? If it exists, how large is it? When will it start?

Moreover, what exactly did Wanyan Lou's detect?

But in the end, the abundant engineering dog rational spirit and a trace of panic from the bottom of his heart made Zhao Jiu suppress this idea... After hesitating for half an afternoon, he finally gave the order to let Han Shizhong approach and destroy it with the army. Pujin's Millennium Floating Bridge, and then directly came over to catch him, with him and Li Yanxian'triumphant' Tokyo.

Zhao Jiu returned to Tokyo on February 13th, and on the same day, Wanyan Lou also arrived in Taiyuan City.

On this day, Zhao Jiu, who returned in triumph, temporarily forgot the suspicion and fear in his heart. Under the opening of Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan's two confidants, wearing a full set of steel armor, riding on Qu Duan temporarily loaned The Iron Elephant, under Jin Wuhuo, together with the heroes Han Shizhong and Li Yanxian, carried a bow and a knife, detoured south of the city, and attracted thousands of elite soldiers and horses from the imperial camp into the city.

Hundreds of thousands of people along the way are welcome.

On this day, the actual commander of the Jin Guoxi Road Army, Wanyan Lou Shi, who was'returning without success', disbanded the various ministries along the way and let them go to their respective places. When they entered Taiyuan City, there were only more than a hundred guards and two sons beside him. Accompany.

On this day, Zhao Jiu hosted a banquet to entertain the heroes. In the evening, he was drunk and returned to the harem. It took Mrs. Wu a lot of effort to help the other party remove the Zha Jia.

On the same day, Wanyan Lou's room only spent a little lunch in the city at noon, and then called the second son Mou Yan and his side guards again, continued to complete the armor, and went directly out of the city to the east.

After another six or seven days, in late February, the Wanyan Lou room arrived at the bottom of Yanjing City.

This person did not visit Wanyan Yinshu, an old comrade-in-arms who had just been promoted from staying in Taiyuan to staying behind in Yanjing, nor did he visit his old leader. Now Wanyan Nianhan, who has already been in power, did not visit a few others. The prince... he just rested for the night in a large house outside the city where he had known tens of thousands of households. After eating beef, the next day, he revealed his identity and went directly to the Shangshu province in Yanjing City, which was preserved in the former Liao State.

The Lou family inquired very clearly that since the emperor's brother Wanyanxie also passed away last year, which caused a lot of chaos in the center, this place and the palace of Huining Mansion have actually become the location where the nobles of the center are fighting for power.

When the weather is hot, they are in Huining Mansion, and when the weather is cold, they come to Yanjing City... However, most of the time they are still Yanjing City, because it is too prosperous.

At this moment, as the weather has not yet completely turned hot, the Lord Wu Qimai, the prime minister of the country, and the flesh and blood of the Taizu emperors, that is, the princes, are all here.

Come a few days later, they will go north again.

In Shangshu Province, several central nobles heard Lou Shi's arrival alone, including Nian Han, they were all stunned, but they hurriedly opened the door to welcome this famous general who should have just withdrawn his troops and stationed in Shanxi.

Lou Shi was fully armored and went straight to the hall. First, he met the lord Wu Qimai before the big service in the hall~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wu Qimai, who was dressed in a brocade coat and full of forehead lines, went down in a hurry. Holding each other’s hands in the hall, they were earnestly facing each other: "Wuliyan (original name and nickname of the Lou room), you have worked so hard in Shanxi. If you have anything to do, you can just send someone to tell you. We will never be discouraged. Fannan went back without success, and no one of us blamed it. Why on earth would we have to come here in person?"

Lou Shi held both hands by Wu Qimai, and first glanced at the central nobles in the hall, and after trying hard to recognize everyone, he sighed and raised his voice to the Lord of the Kingdom of Jin in front of him:

"I heard that the leader of the country was dead, so he came and ran from Shanxi specifically to see the leader of the country for the last time...I'm late, I'm afraid it will be difficult to meet again in this life."

Wu Qimai didn't know how to reply for a while, because he didn't even know that he was dying.

PS: Without this chapter, I'm dying... I wanted to ask for leave for a while.
