After Song Yu led his troops to Guiyang, he joined up with the defenders in Guiyang City, attacked inside and outside, and really beat the Jin soldiers to the ground and fled. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In this way, the Jin soldiers of Yizhou and Erzhou also retreated back, and the danger of the three cities was solved.

However, the Jin soldiers did not retreat because of this, but re-encamped and assembled on the border of the Great Zhou, and even transferred 100,000 soldiers and horses from the Jin State again.

Gyeyang.

Inside the camp of the Chinese army.

"General, the Jin people are raising the whole country's troops to attack this time, and it may not be so easy to get them to retreat." Xiao Zhizheng was wearing battle armor, and his face was worried.

Song Yu sat on the desk and looked at the map placed on it for a moment.

"Where has Jin Bing retreated now?" He asked.

"By the Wei River." Xiao Zhizheng replied, "They built it by the water, and they set up three big camps there. ”

It is built by the water, and it is very convenient to get water.

Unlike the south, the water source is not sufficient, and the army has to cook when marching and fighting, and it is much more convenient to cook or wash by relying on the place where there is a water source.

It seems that Jin Bing is still very strategic.

Song Yu bent his index finger and tapped on the table.

"So it looks like they're trying to fight a long game." He shook his head again, "The food in the Jin Kingdom is not abundant, they obviously came prepared this time, and these military salaries have been prepared for a long time." ”

Maybe five years, maybe ten years.

Otherwise, how can we supply the food of the 300,000 army?

The national strength, military and financial resources consumed in the war are immeasurable, and the Jin soldiers must have been planning for a long time to attack on such a large scale.

"That's what the general said." Xiao Zhizheng said, "Now that they have retreated to the banks of the Weishui River, they must be recuperating, general, should we take advantage of the fact that they have not yet gained a firm foothold to pursue the victory and catch them off guard?" ”

Song Yu waved his hand, "No." ”

Xiao Zhizheng was puzzled, "Why?" If we wait for them to regain their spirits and then attack us, I am afraid it will be even more difficult for us to deal with it. ”

"Kill 1,000 enemies and injure 800." Song Yu said, "Although we defeated the Jin soldiers, the soldiers have been defending the city for two months, and the generals are also exhausted, and the other side has added 100,000 troops. ”

I see!

Xiao Zhizheng thought so, he hugged his fists and said, "It's still the general who thinks thoughtfully." ”

Although the Jin soldiers were defeated and fled, their soldiers were also exhausted.

After holding on for more than two months, I can finally take a breath today, if I have to chase after it, I am afraid that in the end it will only end up with a lose-lose ending.

"Let the soldiers rest for two days." Song Yu said, "Take out all the wine and meat in the army, and let everyone eat happily." ”

Xiao Zhizheng responded to the order and left.

Song Yu put away the map in his hand and slowly paced out.

The north is cold, it is winter now, the soldiers have been fighting hard for two months, and now once they relax, they are all cold and hungry, at this time, Song Yu let them drink wine and eat meat in large pieces, which is exactly what they want!

"We must prevent the golden soldiers from attacking." Xiao Zhi is dispatching generals, "You are divided into three detachments, rotate once every hour, and add more people to the sentry posts." ”

It's time to eat and drink, but it's time to defend!

Song Yu walked out of the tent, and the soldiers saw him come out and hurriedly bowed their hands.

"No need to be polite." Song Yu waved his hand to stop, "During this time, everyone has worked hard, eat a good meal, rest for two days, and then we will go to fight the gold thief!" ”

"Yes!" All the soldiers replied in unison, and their voices were sonorous and powerful.

I have to say that Song Yu has a very good set of military cohesion.

He first relieved the siege of Guiyang, and then when everyone was the coldest and most hungry, let them eat and drink enough, and ordered them to rest.

It is precisely because of his ability that the emperor is even more taboo against him and even more reluctant to let him take charge of the army.

When the wine and meat were brought out, Xiao Zhizheng was standing in front of the camp, holding a large bowl in his hand, and shouted loudly, "Soldiers! We fought hard for more than a month, and today, General Song led his troops to relieve the siege of our Guiyang, and the Jin soldiers fled! ”

He paused word by word, "Now, General Song is letting us drink a lot of wine and eat meat in large pieces!" We want to be grateful to General Song! We toast him! ”

The officers and men of the three armies all raised their bowls and shouted, "A cup to General Song!" ”

Song Yu raised the bowl freely, "The soldiers have worked hard!" After speaking, he raised his head and drank it all.

……

……

After the rest, there was another fierce battle.

Although Song Yu led the troops well, the Jin soldiers were not vegetarians, and after a few days, the battle was stagnant.

The two sides have equal soldiers and horses, and their strength is comparable, in such a situation, there is no way to quickly resolve the war, and Song Yu has no way to defeat Jin Bing immediately.

In the blink of an eye, it is already winter.

The north wind howled, dripping into ice.

In such weather, let alone fighting, even if you are nested in the bed, you feel sad.

The emperor, who was thousands of miles away, was also worried.

"This battle has been going on for months, why is there still no progress?" He frowned and said, "Now it's time for another letter urging food!" ”

Lin Jing said, "Your Majesty, this time is different from before, this time the Jin Kingdom is raising the country's troops to attack my Great Zhou, and the progress is naturally not fast. ”

"Ugh." The emperor sat down and sighed, "Aiqing, the art of war is cloudy, the soldiers are fast, Song Yu is so stubborn, but how can it be good?" ”

Lin Jing thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty is relieved, I think that this stalemate is also a tactic." ”

"Oh?" The Emperor wondered, "What tactics are you?" Aiqing can talk about it. ”

Lin Jing smiled.

"Your Majesty." He replied, "According to the minister's view, the national strength consumed by the war is huge, our Great Zhou Dynasty has a lot of resources, and we can continuously supply the military salaries of the northern region, we will supply as long as they fight, even if it is ten years and eight years, we are not afraid, but the Jin country is different." ”

"The north is cold and poor, the grain is difficult to grow, their national strength is still less than one-third of my Great Zhou, if it is a protracted war, I am afraid it will not take long, their national strength is exhausted, and the army's food and salary will be interrupted!"

The emperor suddenly understood.

If the food is cut off, what will be used to fight?

Song Yu dragged it like this, maybe it was the idea of fighting.

When they run out of food, this battle will naturally not have to be fought.

"What Aiqing said is reasonable." The emperor bowed his head and smiled, "Exchanging hundreds of thousands of stones of grain for the peace of a country is also the best policy." ”

The important thing is that there is no need to sacrifice the lives of the soldiers.

Lin saluted.

"Your Majesty." He said.

……

……

Lin Jing's expectation was good, Song Yu really wanted to delay until they ran out of food.

The Jin soldiers camped by the water, and now that the cold winter is coming, the banks of the Weishui River have frozen and become a glacier.

Living on both sides of the glacier made the already cold Northland even colder, and the Jin soldiers were shivering with cold one by one.

Song Yu stood on the top of the high mountain and looked down condescendingly.

At the foot of the mountain not far away, there was the Weishui River, and from the position where he stood, he could just see the camp tent of the Jin soldiers.

It was evening, and light smoke rose in the army, like Jin soldiers cooking.

Song Yu's face was solemn.

It's been more than half a year, why haven't they run out of food?
