The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Wanyan A-lin taught the Oji tribe a lesson with a whip. He originally wanted to establish his prestige in Huanglong Mansion so that he could completely control the power. But he did not expect that it had the opposite effect. He angered the Oji tribe and broke their faces that night.

He once again led his troops to raid the Song Army's camp and snatched back the Wanhu Commandery Banner. It was obviously for the honor of Ao Ji's troops, but in fact everyone understood that this was a demonstration to Wanyan Alin, the top leader of Huanglong Mansion. I won't listen to you.

Okay, let's see what you can do to me!

The next day, Wanyan Alin went to the hall to discuss matters, and found that very few people came. Except for the staff he brought from the capital, the family generals and several scribes from the general manager's office, no one came. He was furious and ordered people to go.

'Please' was rejected, which allowed him to calm down temporarily and consider his current situation...

Mouyan is a hereditary member of the Huanglong Mansion. It can be said that most of the men and women under the entire government are his subordinates. Mouke has mastered some economic powers except managing the treasury and taxation, and all military and political power belongs to him.

The hand of Jeju. And the governor of Jeju is seeking prosperity.

His younger brother Shi Gunai, many of his descendants were awarded the positions of Meng'an and Conqueror. Let's put it this way, the people and officials of Huanglong Mansion may not know the emperor and the grand master, but they must not know the Lou family. Therefore, regardless of

Whoever becomes an official here must be given three points.

Now Weizhou, Xinzhou, Xiangzhou and other prefectures and counties under Huanglong Mansion have fallen one after another, and Pennsylvania is also in danger. Only the remaining government of Jezhou is still completely under the control of the Jin Kingdom. But now the Song army has arrived at the city and cut off the surrounding arteries.

Controlling Hun Tongjiang, all connections between Jeju and the outside world, including communications with Beijing and China, were

It has been cut off. Now, in addition to the country's 5,000 standing army, the troops stationed in Jeju are all Men'an troops stationed here to plot against the enemy. Therefore, Wanyan Alin is nominally the military commander of Huanglong Mansion and may be mobilized.

His army was only the five thousand standing army, and the local army under Mouyan's command had already acted against him.

In fact, the conflict between Wanyan Alin and Mouyan had already been planted when he arrived. Mouyan thought that the Song army had reached Huanglong Mansion, and he had guarded the place for many years. The court would definitely give full power to him, but the result was unexpected for him.

Unexpectedly, Wanyan Alin was sent here as the general manager. From then on, Mouyan thought that it was Alin who used the influence of his father Zongxiong to get this position. Of course he felt uncomfortable when he was disappointed, but at that time the two

We get along pretty well with each other.

Wanyan Alin also wanted to do something and gain military exploits when he came here, so he resolutely implemented the policy of clearing the country with strong walls and rushing into the fort arranged by the court, trading time for space to delay the arrival of winter. Planning for success is the key to Huanglong Mansion.

He is also the largest landowner in the area. In addition to paying taxes to the court, Meng'an to which he belongs must also pay another tax to him. But once the wall is built,

Qingye's plan was to abandon hundreds of large and small forts scattered around the city. He would destroy all the crops to be harvested. Not only would he suffer huge losses, but he would also need to provide war horses, weapons and food for his people, which would require a large amount of money.

Expenditure. Therefore, when implementing the imperial court's combat principles, he was not active in seeking profit and found various excuses to delay, which of course made Wanyan Alin unhappy.

After that, the two sides continued to have frictions over the use of the treasury's property, food and how to resettle the people. Mouyan wanted to gain more benefits for himself, hoping to open the treasury to help the people who entered the city. But Wanyan'a

The neighbor thought he was trying to steal his hand.

As a result, the relationship between the two became increasingly tense, but they could still maintain a superficial relationship.

There was harmony, and there was no quarrel.

The biggest difference between the two was how to deal with the invasion of the Song army. Of course, Alin strictly implemented the Taishi's established policy, using fortified cities and deep trenches to block the Song army's attack, and asked Mouyan to hand over command power and let him unify.

Commanding the armies. What Mouyan and Shi Gunai thought was that it was too passive to stick to the city. They should take the initiative to attack instead of retreating.

Being turtles in the city, they advocated focusing on peripheral operations, using the large and small fortresses scattered around the city as support. They took turns harassing the enemy troops, forcing them to divide their forces and eliminate them. They could take the opportunity to concentrate their forces and use ambush and surprise tactics to attack the enemy.

Department. Gradually weaken the enemy's strength to delay the enemy's attack speed.

It is said that although the strategy formulated by Mouyan and Shi Gunai was selfish, the strategy of sticking to the city has been proven to be a failure. From the initial boundary trench to Jinzhou and Liaoyang, strong cities such as Liaoyang were conquered one by one, which is enough to illustrate the problem. Therefore.

When the enemy is strong and we are weak, it is the right choice to take advantage of our familiarity with geography and numerous strongholds to launch external operations against the enemy based on the state capital.

However, Wanyan Alin, the special commissioner of the Central Committee, refused to listen and insisted on implementing the imperial court's established strategy, concentrating the troops in one place to rely on the strong city to hold back the enemy, and refused to adapt to local conditions. He must develop strong walls to clear the country and abandon the periphery.

Fortress, concentrate their troops and men in Jeju City, otherwise they will be impeached by the court for disobeying orders. The two brothers have no choice but to execute, but the conflict between the two parties has become public, but they have not broken their faces...

Today's situation has shown Ogibe's attitude. No one will listen to the order anymore, so the two sides parted ways. And Alin also realized that he was completely ignored and could not leave the house, and even his own life was at stake.

In his hands, even if they kill him now, the court will not know about it, and afterwards they can just make up a random excuse to deceive him. Anyway, everyone in Jeju City belongs to them.

Thinking of this, Ah Lin regretted yesterday's recklessness. He only wanted to use the opportunity of defying orders to establish his authority, but he did not expect that they would dare to openly challenge himself, the general manager appointed by the imperial court, and now put himself in such an embarrassing situation.

And he also knew that even if his petition could be delivered to the emperor's hands, he would not be punished for it when the enemy attacked in a large scale, otherwise there would be no generals available and no soldiers to deploy.

At this time, some soldiers came in to report. Last night, the Oji tribe mobilized a large number of men to sneak out of the city and sneak back to the abandoned fort under cover of darkness. They re-established a stronghold, harassed and attacked the Song army, and cooperated with the main force of Jeju City to defend the city. A Lin laughed bitterly after hearing this.

, What can I do if I know it? Fortunately, they did not surrender out of the city and captured me and gave it to the Song Army. But I completely lost control of Huanglong Mansion. How could A Lin, who had been usurped from power, be willing to accept it...

…………

"Your Majesty, last night the Jin army attacked the camp at night and took away the captured flags hanging on the camp gate. This was a mistake by my subordinates. Please punish me!" Zhao Yong said at a routine meeting in the imperial tent of the camp.

First, ask for forgiveness.

"Oh, there is something like this. Let's talk about the situation!" Yesterday, the sound of gunfire outside the camp was heard for a long time. Zhao Tong couldn't hear it, but he didn't expect that the Jin army was just for that general's flag.

"Your Majesty, at midnight last night a group of Jin soldiers escaped from the rangers outside the camp, attacked the secret post, and suddenly appeared in front of the camp. The soldiers on duty hurriedly responded to the challenge. They fought fiercely for more than an hour before repelling the enemy. No one was there at that time.

I paid attention to the general's flag, but I didn't find it until early in the morning. After searching for it, I realized that it might have been snatched away by the enemy troops who attacked at night." Zhao Yong briefly reported what happened.

"Well, it's not a big deal if a flag is lost, but the fact that the enemy can snatch the flag shows that they have sneaked under our noses, and our soldiers didn't notice it until then. It shows that in addition to the enemy's superb combat skills, it also shows that we

The lax defense of the camp and the throwing of the flag may not be investigated, but the responsibilities of those who neglected their duties must be strictly investigated to prevent similar things from happening." Zhao Tong thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Zhao Yong thought that the emperor would be furious, but unexpectedly, he did not pursue the matter, but only demanded strict military discipline.

"Your Majesty, the patrolling scouts discovered that several groups of Jin troops left the city and re-garrisoned the abandoned fortress last night. There were as many as a thousand people and as few as only two or three hundred people. I don't know what their intentions are. Should we send troops to clear them out?" At this time,

Zhao Lian reported again.

"What do you think?" Zhao Tong did not answer, but asked the generals.

"It's really strange that the Jin army came back again. Do they think they can stop our progress with those thin walls and limited troops?" said Wang Heng, Zhending's envoy.

"I think things are not simple. Even a strong city like Liaoyang City can't stop our artillery fire. Wanyan Alin is not stupid enough to think that he can stop us with this. His intention should be to contain our troops." Wolf General.

Commander Zhuge Hong said.

"Zhuge, why do you say that?" Zhao Tong pointed at Zhuge Hong and said.

"Your Majesty, you see that there are nearly a hundred market towns of various sizes scattered around Jeju City, covering an area of ​​a hundred miles. It seems that they are just the areas where Meng'an and Mooke are stationed here, as well as the commercial areas, but most of them are in

A big network has been formed around the main traffic roads to cover us." Zhuge Hong pointed at the map and said.

"Keep talking!" Zhao Tong looked at the map and nodded.

"The people stationed in the fort are all local tribes. They are like the archers of the Song Dynasty. They serve the people on weekdays and soldiers in war. They have the responsibility of defending the land and are familiar with the geography. Our military is strong, and they know they will not be defeated.

will engage in battle with our army, but

We use this as a stronghold to use tactics such as harassing our baggage trains, intercepting messengers, and sneak attacks on patrols to tire out our army. However, when we cannot bear the harassment, we will send troops to attack, forcing us to divide our troops, thereby delaying time." Zhuge Hong.

And analyzed.

"This is a plan that kills two birds with one stone. Once we divide too many troops, they can use the main force in the city to fight us; if the troops dispatched to conquer are small, they can contact the friendly forces in the surrounding strongholds to quickly gather here to fight with more troops.

The young rebels were surrounded and annihilated." Zhao Lianshen thought it was true.

"If we cannot respond to the changes in the Jin army's tactics in time, our army may be dragged under Huanglongfu City!" Zhao Tong said thoughtfully... (To be continued)
