Chapter 205: Digging the Corner of the Wall (Part II)
When Yang Yingqi raised a shovel against the authority of the Great Song Dynasty, the Jin people also raised a shovel outside Bianliang City, but they dug not the national foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, but the grave of the Zhao family! The places that the troops of the Great Masters could not control were all slaughtered and plundered, and the graves of the concubines, princes, and princesses of the past dynasties were excavated, gold and silver were taken, coffins were exposed, and corpses were raped!
When the military and civilian students in the city heard that the Jurchens had committed such heinous deeds, they were all indignant and worried. Zhi Yanchong was furious when he heard about this in the army, and sent Antahai to condemn Zong Wang's lax rule; When Yang Yingqi heard about this incident in Jinmen, he directly wrote to Wu Begging to impeach the East Route Army for committing evil acts, and then moved the book to Zongwang, hoping that he could severely punish the soldiers and generals who caused the incident. Zhe Yanchong's condemnation and Yang Yingqi's request Zong Wang simply ignored it, so the matter of punishing the generals and purging military discipline was naturally over, but the impact of this incident on the entire civilized world continued, whether it was Bianliang or Jinmen, whether it was the citizens, the generals or the students' anger towards Jin Bing continued to rise. Although Zhao Huan is as timid as a mouse, the young man is still a little bloody after all, and he can't help but be resentful when he hears that his relatives' graves have been suffered. At this time, the situation of Song Jin had changed, and his judgment of the military situation suddenly changed by 180 degrees!
For national affairs, military intelligence and government affairs, leaders who are overly optimistic and overly pessimistic can produce disasters, but people who have no political acumen often combine the two, Zhao Huan and his son and the people around them are like this.
Before the Seed Master Dao entered the city, Zhao Huan was terribly afraid of the Jin Bing, but as soon as the Seed Master Dao entered the city, and after several seemingly favorable incidents occurred, Zhao Huan's mood suddenly climbed from the trough to the peak, and some people around him also felt that they should take the opportunity to show their bravery and suggest the main battle to Zhao Huan - these people not only fought the main battle, but also attacked the main battle!
In the past, because there were too many people such as Li Bangyan who sang declining songs, both Li Gang and Seed Master Dao could not help but be heroic and optimistic in their words in order to offset this negative public opinion. Zhao Huan was not a person with rational judgment in the first place, and he was surrounded by such words day and night, so he gradually thought that Jin Bing could be broken in one battle.
However, as a military leader, the seed master Dao still has a relatively clear understanding of the entire battle situation: the advantage of the Jin soldiers is that they can fight, and the disadvantage is that they can go deep into the Song Realm alone, even if they can win on the battlefield, they do not have enough strength to conquer after victory, and even have hidden worries about whether they can retreat with their whole body. Seed Master Dao believes that in terms of long-term national defense layout, the three towns of Zhongshan, Taiyuan and Zhending must not be abandoned; In terms of the current military strength of the two sides, the Song army is large and bloated, and the Jin army is small and hard, and a decisive battle under Bianliang City is not a foolproof strategy. Therefore, the strategic plan of the division is to first stick to the peace and delay the Jin soldiers, wait for the Shaanxi soldiers who can fight with the Jin people, and then surround them with heavy troops, so that the Jin people do not dare to plunder, grind the Jin soldiers to return to the north, and then follow with cavalry, and wait for the Jin soldiers to Zhongshan and Zhending City, at that time there is a strong city in front of the city, and there are heavy soldiers in the back, and the Jin army suffers from the enemy on its back, and then let go of the battle, and the Song army has a much greater chance of victory.
This is a very prudent strategy for using troops, and it is also in line with the steady character of the Seed Master, but it is not suitable for Zhao Huan's appetite, and even Li Gang thinks it is too conservative. In terms of the choice of battle defense and surrender, both advocate that Li Gang and Seed Master Dao belong to the same front, but in the matter of how to fight and defend, Li Gang and Seed Master Dao are different from each other. What Li Gang saw was the number of troops on both sides: the Song army exceeded 200,000 and the Jin army only 60,000, which was an absolute advantage in terms of strength. Therefore, he advocated a more rapid means to defeat the Jin soldiers.
Li Gang has a very good character, but after listening to his advice on using soldiers, he can't help but feel that this Li Youcheng is talking about soldiers as a scholar. However, like the last time he attacked Yan, the seed master Dao did not stick to his strategic proposition to the end, but tried to retreat and reconcile as much as possible, and finally he hoped that the time of the general attack would be postponed to at least ten days later, when the Shaanxi generals who were the most capable of fighting in the Great Song Dynasty in Xihe Yao Gu and Qin Feng should be able to arrive and attack together, and the chance of victory is greater.
Zhao Huan was impatient, and at this time, he suddenly burst with confidence, and he was dissatisfied with being so conservative, but he reluctantly agreed at the insistence of the planter.
After the dissolution of the court, Yao Pingzhong, one of the main generals of the Song army, said in his heart: "This time to save Bian, the farmer has made a great contribution!" If you wait for the western soldiers to gather and then attack according to the strategy of the planter's way, then you will win, and the first credit will still have to go to the planter! Yao Pingzhong did not want the credit to go to the seed clan alone, so he bypassed the seed master road to see Li Gang, saying that the army of King Qin came from afar, and they all sought a quick victory. This strategy is against Li Gang's appetite, Zhao Huan also thinks that the Seed Master Dao is too cautious, and intends to balance the forces of the Seed and Yao families, so as to prevent the Seed Clan from being dominant, so according to Yao Pingzhong's suggestion, he issued five orders in a row to urge the Seed Master Dao to fight quickly!
Seeing such a situation, Chong Wei persuaded: "Uncle, at the moment, people are fighting in their hearts, and the Son of Heaven has ordered it, and it cannot be shirked. Before my uncle entered Beijing, the people in the capital welcomed my uncle like a child's parents. But in the past few days, my uncle has been reluctant to go to war, and it has been rumored inside and outside the capital that you are cowardly! You must know that when we commit a major crime, not only the court blames us, but even the people of the country will ridicule us for being cowardly and incompetent! ”
Seed Master Dao said with a calm face: "People are fighting in their hearts? How many of these people have been on the battlefield? Whether the court blames it, or the people ridicule it, it can't be a rash march into the army knowing that it can't be warned, right? Yao Pingzhong's yellow-mouthed son, Li Boji talks on paper, they are confused, should I also be confused? "He refused to accept his life.
Zhao Huan was furious and ordered Li Gang to cede the military horses outside the city that originally belonged to the division of the Dao to Yao Pingzhong, and from then on, the command of the army, which was not centralized, was even more dispersed.
On the 27th of the first month, Zhao Huan, Li Gang, Yao Pingzhong and other three people set a night attack plan, and in the early morning of the 28th, Lin Yi received the news, and came to see Cao Guangbi in the dark and said: "Second general, I heard that Yao Pingzhong is going to attack Mu Huogang at night, what do you think?" ”
Cao Guangbi was shocked: "The Song army is going to attack Mu Huogang at night? How do you know about such secrets? ”
Lin Yi said: "The eunuch in the palace came out. ”
Cao Guangbi was shocked and said: "You even bought the eunuchs around the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty? ”
"It's not." Lin Yi said: "This time the news came out of the two little eunuchs who ran errands, and I haven't succeeded in the emperor's henchmen yet." ”
Cao Guangbi was stunned for a moment and said, "How can the two little eunuchs who run errands know such a big thing? ”
Lin Yi said: "The emperor sent the warlock Chu Tianjue to open the altar and choose the day and time of the camp. At that time, the two little eunuchs were waiting by the side, and when they heard the news, they sold them - these two little eunuchs were not bought by me exclusively, and I am afraid that I am not the only one who will buy the news. ”
Cao Guangbi smiled when he heard this: "How to open the altar to set the day of the robbery camp? Ha ha! How can there be such a thing! I'm afraid it's misinformation! And he did not take it to heart.
After Lin Yi left, Deng Su said, "Is this really just a miscommunication?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "It should be misinformation. Not to mention that this news came strangely, it is inferred from the common sense of soldiers that the Song army should not have such a move. ”
Deng Su asked, "Why shouldn't there be such measures?" ”
Cao Guangbi said: "The strength of the Jin army is elite and good at fighting, and the Song people are definitely not opponents with the same strength; The disadvantage is that there are few people, and deep in the Song realm, isolated and helpless, and it is easy to scatter people's hearts if they are not good in a war. The shortcomings of the Song army are that the soldiers are not fine, the horses are not strong, and the generals are not strong. However, the strength of the Song army was that it had a large number of people, sufficient food, and was fighting on its own, so there was still room for turning around in case the war was unfavorable. Therefore, if I am the commander, it is best to besiege Zongwang with an army of 200,000 people, and he will be exhausted of food, if he wants to fight, I will fight with him, not afraid of losing, and I am not afraid of exchanging three of my people for one of him! If he wants to break through, I will follow him with cavalry and drive him to Yanyun! This is the right way to use troops in the current situation! If a small number of soldiers and horses rob the camp, it is because of my shortness and the strength of attacking the enemy -- although the master is old, he is not mediocre, and he is not expected to be so impatient. ”
As a result, in the evening of the next day, Hu Yin also rushed over and said, "Brother Cao, do you think this night attack can be shamed before the heavy snow?" ”
Cao Guangbi glared at him for a long time and said, "What night attack?" ”
Hu Yin was stunned and said, "Attack Mu Huogang at night." You've always been well-informed, why didn't you know this time? I heard that the Taoist priest of Chu has chosen the day and time of sending troops, and the imperial court has set up three big flags outside the Kaibao Temple, and the words such as reporting success in front of the emperor have been written, and now the whole dynasty has known, you still don't know? ”
Cao Guangbi was stunned for a long time, and then laughed and said, "Ming Zhong, you are confused!" How can you, a small officer, know such military secrets? What's more, since it is a night attack, how can it make a lot of trouble for the whole dynasty? This must be a bluff and should not be ignored. ”
Hu Yin was also stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Not bad, not bad!" I want to win the battle, I want to go crazy! I didn't even think of this, it's ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
But the news that the imperial court was going to attack at night soon spread throughout the city, the people of Bianliang were victorious, and many people in the streets and alleys were probing for fighters every day, and slowly the news spread from inside the city to outside the city, and after the Jin soldiers detected it, Zongwang was quite hesitant and said: "The Song people said that they were going to rob the camp, but I don't know if it's true or not. ”
Zong Bi said: "Ninety percent is fake. How could there be such fanfare in the camp? Besides, even the time was told to the Quartet, isn't that begging? ”
Pharmacist Guo said: "It is better to believe that there is something than to believe that it is not." When the Great Song Dynasty invaded the north, there were many strange things, and even the order that the enemy was not allowed to be killed on the battlefield. Perhaps the habit of their Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers was to inform the Quartet before the night attack. ”
Zong Wang sighed and said, "It turns out that they have such a habit." Then he ordered the whole army to be on alert and wait for the Song army.
On February 1 of the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Huan personally issued a secret order, ordering Yao Pingzhong to attack the gold camp at night, Yao Pingzhong led 7,000 elite soldiers to go to Mu Huogang at night, but as soon as he entered Mu Huogang, he broke into an empty camp! Yao Pingzhong secretly screamed that it was not good, the ambush outside the gang was everywhere, and the people who went to the night attack were counterattacked, and the defenders inside and outside the city of Bianliang City were slow to move due to poor mobilization, and countless people were killed and wounded and captured, and the deputy general of the Song army who attacked was captured, and the lord Yao Pingzhong saw the disadvantage and absconded in fear of crime.
Zhao Huan thought that the robbery of the village would be successful, but who knew that it would be a complete failure, plus Yao Pingzhong was nowhere to be found, and there were many rumors, all saying that the soldiers and horses of the Qinwang of Shaanxi and the main force of the Bianliang defenders had been wiped out! For a while, the prime minister's chamberlain beside Zhao Huan fell from the peak of optimism and hope for victory to the trough of pessimism and despair, and Zhao Huan was even more frightened and almost had a heart attack, and ordered not to enter the army.
After hearing the news, the planter looked up to the sky and sighed, and then restrained himself, suppressed all the fear, resentment, and complaints, and came to see Zhao Huan with a crumbling old bone: "The robbery of the camp has been mistaken, but the art of war is impermanent, victory is hidden in defeat, defeat is hidden in victory, all in surprise!" Although we were defeated last night, we will not send troops to attack again tonight. Now that the night is not victorious, thousands of soldiers and horses will harass each night, and within ten days, the golden soldiers will surely flee timidly. This is a plan to turn the right into a surprise and turn defeat into victory! ”
Before he finished speaking, Zhao Huan had already shouted: "Don't say it, don't say it!" Aren't all the camps done? What else to fight! Don't fight, don't fight, give them whatever the Jin people want. Stop it! ”
The planter said: "Your Majesty ......"
"I said stop fighting! Didn't you hear? Zhao Huan paused and said: "From today onwards, no one can send troops without my hand!" With that, he covered his ears and fled into the apse.
