Chapter 246 Good Fate Is Not Good Fate
All the Jurchens who were unwilling to submit to the Han knew that they had to unite in order to fight against Zheyan Chong. But knowing that you want to be united and being able to be united are two different things altogether.
The existing interests of the Jin State is the biggest obstacle to the comprehensive unity of the Jurchens, and the Han Department today is no longer the Han Department that everyone can suppress casually together, and now if they want to deal with Zhe Yanchong, the forces of all aspects of the Jin State, especially Wu Qimai, Zong Han and Zong Fu, must establish a real and deep unity, rather than a temporary reunion like the last battle of Liaokou.
To deal with the Han Army, the Jin Army must have a unified political and strategic deployment, must have a unified military operation, and to do this, it must have a military command center with absolute leadership, and must have a political leader and military leader who matches the name and reality, otherwise it will not be possible to reach some necessary sacrifices, such as withdrawing troops from Shaanxi, or even temporarily using the entire Xijing Road as a battlefield in order to keep the northeast.
But who should be the leader? Wu begging to buy? Zong Han? Or Sosuke? Even if Zong Han is great enough to give up his desires and rights for the country, his subordinates Lou Mu, Wanyan Xiyin, Han Qixian and others may not approve of him fully handing over power; Even if Zongfu could be willing to hand over the military and political power controlled by the second room for the benefit of the whole clan, Zonggan and Zongbi might not agree; Of course, if the Emperor of the Jin State, Wu Qimai, is willing to give way for the sake of the overall situation, it will naturally be a way, but it is a pity that the vanity of this expectation is no less than fishing for the moon in the water.
In order to break the current pattern of interests of the Jin State and tend to be unified, generally speaking, more than one political struggle and political purge are required, but in the current situation, if there is another civil strife at the top of the Jin State, it will be simply a self-defeating death!
All the generals of the Wanyan tribe with political acumen and military talent knew that the Jurchens had to attack before the Han and Central Plains forces could be united, but knowing that it was necessary to strike first and whether it could be done were two different things.
In the frenzied southern invasion of the past few years, the Jin people have conquered a large territory, but at the same time, the elite troops of the Jin army have been scattered. The logistics force of the Han Department is strong, and the flow and Ma Yi are hanging on the sea, and the Jin army can't cross it even if they want to harass them; However, the Liaodong Peninsula, the Shandong Peninsula and Tanggu, which had a strong military force in the Han Dynasty, were connected by sea in the Bohai Sea, and the Jin army wanted to launch an offensive force from all sides at the same time. What's worse is that if the Jin army intends to concentrate on attacking one point, other territories will be exposed to the Han and become targets. For example, if you concentrate forces to attack Shandong, Yanjing and Northeast China will show flaws; If you concentrate your forces to attack Tanggu, the Hedong and Liaohe valleys will be attacked at any time; If you want to besiege Liaokou like last time, then I am afraid that before Liaokou is captured, the defense line of the Jin State in Yanyun and the Central Plains will be completely urgent!
The Liaokou offensive and defensive battle before the southern invasion had already let the Jin army know that it was unlikely that they would like to capture southern Liaoning with part of their forces - although the Jin army's military strength expanded greatly after the Liaokou offensive and defensive battle, the main military system of the Han army was not idle!
The Shandong offensive and defensive battle before Zhe Yanchong's return to the Han Department made Zong Han and Zong Fu understand that even if most of the troops of the Eastern Route Army and part of the troops of the Western Route Army were concentrated, it would be difficult to completely defeat the anti-Jin forces in this area - and this still did not calculate the situation that the main force of the Han Army was put into the battlefield!
Before Yang Kaiyuan arrived, Tanggu was originally a breakthrough in the plan of the generals of the Jin army, but after Yang Kaiyuan appeared in Tanggu, the situation changed greatly, although the Jin army had not yet attacked Tanggu, but in the hearts of the generals, Tanggu had faintly become the second Liaokou. This impression of the generals is not unreasonable, because Tanggu and Liaokou are really very similar: a big city that has been run by the Han for a long time; The coastal river division can help; There is a good port that can provide a steady stream of supplies - and finally, there is one more point, that is, Yang Kaiyuan is also in charge!
Of course, the Han Department is not completely without weaknesses, for example, Cao Guangbi in Hedong obviously has many flaws, and for example, Xiao Tienu's troops who have just changed banners are also obviously insufficient, if the Jin army can concentrate strong military forces to strike a thunderous blow to these two places, the hope of victory is great, but although these two places are eye-catching, but the first victory here can not make the balance of power between Jin and Han subversive, because if Zhi Yanchong resolutely gives up reinforcements to these two places, let Cao and Xiao deal with it themselves. And personally led the army to attack Huining or Yanjing, at that time, should the Jin army destroy Cao and Xiao first, or first aid Huining and Yanjing?
All in all, the gathering of the three giants in Yanjing, Zong Han, Zong Fu, and Tart Lazy did not achieve anything beneficial to the Jin Kingdom, but instead made the three parties go further and further apart in the midst of the noiseβthey could not find a strategy that would benefit all three parties, and they were unwilling to make big concessions for the other two factions. Although everyone understands: it will be dangerous if you don't cooperate with Jinguo! But to understand is to understand, but to know but not to do!
After every meeting, the tart has to slander Zong Han for usurping and rebelling, intending to hold the court hostage, and scolding Zong Fu for not knowing the overall situation, if the Jin Kingdom dies in the Han Department in the future, he will bear the greatest responsibility! And Zong Han and Zong Fu both felt that Wu Qimai wanted to use the affairs of the Han Department to cut their power, "It seems to be for the public, but it is actually for the private, it seems to be for the country, but it is really for himself"! At the same time, Zong Han and Zong Fu were not very satisfied with each other's performance! Zong Fu believed that Zong Han should have withdrawn the troops stranded in Shaanxi a long time ago and concentrated on managing the Yanyun frontline. And Zong Han blamed Zong Fu for pumping his feet too early when besieging Cao Guangbi in Taiyuan, if he could not be afraid of Yang Kaiyuan's threat to Yanjing for half a month, then the Han Army's military strength in Hedong would be greatly damaged even if it was not destroyed! But at that time, could Sosuke not be afraid of Yanjing's rear? You must know that the distance between Yanjing and Tanggu is the beginning and evening! What's more, it was Yang Kaiyuan who threatened Yanjing!
In the noisy and noisy high-level of the Jin State, the people of Lianghe enjoyed a short but precious peace. At this time, the Jin army had fully withdrawn from the south of the Yellow River, and the main battlefield of the Han-Jin confrontation was concentrated on the Hedong Road and the Hebei West Road, which were complicated by the situation.
By this time, Cao Guangbi had already made his way down the Fen River, where he had joined Wang Yan's outpost in Jinzhou, and with the help of the gentry and the rebels, the Zhongwu Army had gained control of the middle section of the Fen River Valley. If there is a big war in the future, Cao Guangbi can liberate the entire territory of Hedong according to Taiyuan and threaten Yunzhong, and if he retreats, he can shrink his forces and go down the river to Jinzhou and Longdefu to form a unit, so as to wait for Zhiyan Chong's response in the east. If the war starts, he can recover Taiyuan, force Shangdang, and retreat back to Yanjing, and no longer have to worry about being attacked by Cao Guangbi and Wang Yan in the north and south.
With the Hedong battlefield as the center, the southeast is the military strength of Liu Qi and Zhao Li, the south is the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty remaining in Bianliang, the west is Lou Room and the old Song Dynasty Shaanxi soldiers and horses, and the north is the most powerful main force of the Jin army, where Zong Han and Zong Fu are located, Yunzhong and Yanjing. In this way, the Jinhan and Han sides stationed hundreds of thousands of troops on the inner and outer lines of Hedong Road and Hebei West Road, but because neither side had decided how to fight, the situation was not triggered under extremely tense conditions!
The "Huaxia Enlarged Conference", which marked the successful unification of the anti-Jin forces of the Han Dynasty, was held in two months, and many people thought that the Jin army would attack before or during the meeting, but at this time, something happened that no matter Zong Han, Zong Fu, Cao Guangbi, and Yang Kaiyuan, there was something unexpected: Yang Yingqi was going to get married.
