1055. Chapter 1055: A Complicated Situation
As soon as it was in vain, he slowly drew his saber, stared at the blade that flashed with tassels, and smiled bitterly at the battlefield with the sound of killing, but he didn't know what the girl's fate was, but he couldn't do anything about it!
On the front line of Keyimen, Gao Sheng greeted Zhang Qiyuan's arrival, as a minister of the Privy Council, and a bachelor of Hanlin, his status was much higher than him, and some etiquette could not be lost, so as not to be caught.
Nowadays, the Jurchens have absorbed Han scholars, gradually perfected etiquette, and attached importance to rank.
"Fifth Brother Gao, no matter what you say, it's also a mother and a woman, commanding tens of thousands of elite horses, and you didn't even make any trouble for them." Zhang Qiyuan heard the news that the Song army had captured the provincial Weicheng, and his face showed a pity color, he thought that the provincial Weicheng was an important stronghold, even if the party was powerful, it could be defended for a long time.
Gao Sheng's face was pale, Zhang Qiyuan's words were euphemistic, but he secretly accused him of not doing his best, but when he thought of his difficulties, he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Lord Zhang, after going through the Privy Council of the North and South, you shouldn't know that there are only 10,000 generals in the end, and you have to attack the city and conquer the territory, and you have to guard against those grassland tribes, and it is really difficult to deal with the army of the Southern Dynasty." ”
"Don't say that there are tens of thousands of barbarians, even the Southern Dynasty has invested several armies in the provincial city, and they have even set up a separate army for defense, how can I fight?"
Zhang Qiyuan was robbed of white by Gao Sheng, his face was suddenly embarrassed, this guy clearly scolded him for being a second minister, and he didn't give any face, and a wisp of resentment rose in his heart. Thinking about it, Gao Sheng is a first-class warrior under Wushu, and he is the only Han man who wants to take revenge, and it is very difficult to retaliate, at least now he can't deal with it openly, he suppressed his thoughts, and waited for an opportunity to let this guy drink a pot.
But he heard Gao Sheng say again: "Xu Huiyan of the Southern Dynasty has a whole camp, plus Xiao Heda's soldiers and horses, my 4,000 horse army has not yet approached the provincial Weicheng, and it was intercepted by tens of thousands of people. ”
"Now, we can no longer focus on the provincial city, we should think about how to build a defensive line, expel the barbarian tribes, and keep the qiē we have got."
Zhang Qiyuan was speechless, what Gao Sheng said made sense, the living girl fought in Hexi, and the main elite was almost transferred, and the Jin army was just like Wang Xiu's judgment, and there were about 30,000 people in the main force, and in the face of hundreds of thousands of Song troops, it seemed that the real strength was beyond reach.
Gao Sheng's army only has 10,000 people, and he has to control a large area of Wurahai City, and his troops are stretched, and it is not enough to even deter those grassland tribes, let alone go south. It's not bad to keep and get a qiē, even if you occupy the land, the people's wealth and silk are plundered, what's the use?
At this time, Sa Liyu had already sent out an emergency official pond, and according to the past combat experience, he asked Wushu to mobilize another 30,000 people and gather enough 60,000 troops to effectively balance the Song army and deter those greedy grassland clan leaders.
He smacked his lips and smiled awkwardly, "How are they moving?" ”
"Xu Huiyan took the provincial Weicheng, and did not go south to Dingzhou, but strengthened the city, sent troops to cross the river to seize the ferry, erected three pontoon bridges, and built five camps." Gao Sheng replied plainly, without any oil and vinegar.
This is a posture to prevent the Jin army from moving, Zhang Qiyuan touched his beard, his eyes rolled, and he said to himself: "This guy is guarding against my big gold iron horse!" ”
"Oh, wouldn't it be faster for them to attack on three sides?" Gao Sheng's heart moved, but he still wanted to hear Zhang Qiyuan's opinion.
"It's very simple, the party members have long been grasshoppers after the autumn, and they can't jump for a few days, but the right capital supervisor went out of Hexi, and the fifth brother took the Keyi Gate, let us meet here, how can they rest assured?" Zhang Qiyuan looked like he had a toothache on his face, and he was intoxicating.
"Wu Jue's troops, plus Gao Ping, also have nearly 200,000 people, which is enough to besiege Xingqing, with the support of Provincial Weicheng, Dijinze, and Xiazhou, which is enough to form a defense against me, after all, their fifth line camp has not moved."
"Could it be that your lord has the intention of going south?" Gao Sheng's brows frowned slightly, his face was very ugly, can war be fun? Even if he is now carrying out military orders and is waging a war, it is within the controllable range.
"Let's do it in Hexi, I didn't see the movement of the provincial city, do you think Wang Dalang can give up? He's better than a monkey. Zhang Qiyuan smiled coldly, and his serpent-like gaze fell on Gao Sheng's face.
Gao Sheng didn't care about Zhang Qiyuan, he was shocked from the perspective of the general of the Jin Army. He looked down on this guy very much, but he couldn't help but admit that people knew Wang Xiu very well, and he really couldn't swallow this breath with Wang Xiu's character, if he hadn't come forward back then, it was estimated that it would be Wang Xiu who killed and fled.
Could it be that the Song army organized the defense as a suspicious soldier? He unconsciously entered the state, the battlefield shape is ever-changing, he must not just look at the surface, any possibility will appear, and he couldn't help but say to himself: "Is it really possible, where will Da Lang make trouble?" The defensive posture of the provincial city is not an offense. ”
Idiot, Zhang Qiyuan secretly scolded Gao Sheng, but said calmly: "What will you choose?" Is it along the river or is it difficult? ”
Gao Sheng shook his head and said, "I can't choose, I'm not a big man." ”
"Once something happens, I'm afraid you will have to withstand tens of thousands of troops, can you withstand it?" Zhang Qiyuan stared at Gao Sheng.
Gao Sheng is also a veteran of the battlefield, and he immediately understood, glared at Zhang Qiyuan in surprise, and said half-loudly: "We have reached the goal, do we have to take another bite?" ”
"Liangzhou, we must fight, and if we can't do it, we will destroy it." Zhang Qiyuan's face was grim and authentic.
"As long as you control Ganzhou, you can contain Xiliang, why bother." Gao Sheng said very unhappily. There is an essential difference between him and Zhang Qiyuan's name for Liangzhou, Zhang Qiyuan returned to the Jurchens, and in the short term he still had the same old thinking, and he followed the name of Liangzhou in the Great Song Dynasty, but he used the name of Xiliangfu.
Don't underestimate the difference in titles, that is the difference in understanding, Gao Sheng's proposition represents the majority of the Jin army generals, and is unwilling to go to war with the Great Song Dynasty, occupying Ganzhou is enough to threaten Xiliang, and then fighting to the east is taboo.
Zhang Qiyuan is different, he believes that Wang Xiu will not give up, as long as the means are appropriate, he will not be able to fight. Besides, if you choose not to fight cautiously, the Song army will not be conservative, and it is likely to launch a full-scale attack on Hexi, because Wang Xiu's expedition against the party will inevitably take Hexi.
Similarly, the living girl who is nearly thousands of miles away is also very entangled, occupying Suzhou and Guazhou in succession, only because the Xia army retreated into Shazhou to defend it, and Changle City did not take advantage of the battle, he was eager to take Ganzhou, so as not to be taken advantage of by Shao Xing, so as not to let go of Shazhou temporarily, and the main force launched an offensive against Ganzhou.
This violated the edge of the bottom line of the Great Song Dynasty, and the shape of Hexi suddenly became tense.
