Chapter 078: Grand Plans

Yanmen Pass, the head of the nine stops in the world, is close to the mountain and is located in the dangerous mountain. On the east and west wings, the mountains are undulating. The Great Wall of the Ridge, with its winding momentum. The north passes through the outer plateau, the south connects the hinterland of the Central Plains, since ancient times, it is the throat of the Han people in the Central Plains to the north and the grassland nomads to the south.

Five dynasties and ten kingdoms, since Shi Jingjiao ceded Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to the Liao, the Khitan iron cavalry crossed the Great Wall, the Central Plains region has no danger to defend, and only one dangerous place remains in the east of the river. To the south of Yanmen Pass is the Daizhou of the Song Dynasty, and to the north is the territory of the Liao people. Yanmen Pass is also the forefront of the confrontation between the Liao and Song dynasties, with dangerous terrain and a barrier for the country.

Outside the gate of Yanmen Guandong City, it is one of the "Seven Heroes of the Warring States", the famous general Li Mu Temple of Zhao State is located, the monument is erected in front of the temple, whether it is the people or the army, there are often people who sacrifice, and the incense is endless all year round.

Zhao Wuling King Hu Fu rode and shot, defeated Lin Hu and Lou Fu, and established the land of Yunzhong, Yanmen and Daijun. Li Mu was ordered to stay in Yanmen to guard against the Xiongnu. The Zhao army was brave, "breaking the Huns more than 100,000 horses", and after more than ten years, the Huns did not dare to go south to Kou Zhao. The people are grateful to Li Mu for fighting against foreign races, defending the country and building the "Jingbian Temple" in Yanmen Pass to commemorate his exploits in defending the border and protecting the people.

Since the first year of Jingkang, the Jin people went south and occupied Taiyuan, and the Yanmen Pass north of Taiyuan was included in the control of the Jurchens, and the Jingbian Temple was naturally unworshipped, and the incense was cut off.

In August of the third year of Jingkang, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the autumn breeze is blowing, the world is lonely, and there is a statue of depression on the field.

It was early in the morning, the east and west gates of Yanmen Pass were opened, countless ironclad knights passed through the city gate, rolling to the south, behind the boundless cavalry array, it was an endless array of foot soldiers, the knights were all fierce and fierce, the quivers were full of arrows, the face was full of wind and dust, the queue of foot soldiers was neat, all tall and strong, fierce and vicious, occupied the entire mountain road.

Flags flying, swords and guns are like forests, thousands of iron horses, mighty, the sound of horses' hooves alarms the heavens and the earth, the iron armor is shining with cold light, the horn is blowing, echoing in the mountains and ravines, between the heavens and the earth, the birds and beasts are frightened.

Thousands of troops, overwhelming, elite soldiers, everyone is complacent, such a tiger can sweep the world.

On the high slope in front of Jingbian Temple, surrounded by a group of Jurchen knights, Wanyan Zonghan, a generation of Jurchen heroes, sat on a horse, Wanyan Lou, the Jurchen god of war, Wanyan and Lou, the fierce general in the army, and Wanyancai, the commander of the infantry soldiers. On the Chinese army's big banner fluttering high, the big word "handsome" is particularly eye-catching.

Wanyan Zonghan, who was covered in iron armor, looked solemn, compared with the invasion of the Song Dynasty three years ago, Wanyan Zonghan was a little older, but the anger between his eyebrows was even worse.

"Lou Room, from the Kelan army to the three states outside the river, the army is advancing westward, but it is necessary to fight quickly, destroy the Jinning army, wave the army to Hedong as soon as possible, and besiege Wang Song."

When talking about Wang Song, Wanyan Zonghan's face turned red. In several bloody battles in Tokyo City, he can be said to have lost face, and he was also cited as a great shame in his life.

"Sticky Han, you can rest assured. This time, the most elite warriors of the Jurchens accompanied him, and it was not a problem to win the discount. ”

Wanyan Lou Room is full of ambition. The armies under his command, especially the "Lou Room Army" trained by him, were the most powerful, and the soldiers among them were all warriors of the Jurchen tribe, and they had not been defeated since the conquest.

If it weren't for the fact that most of the Lou Mur army was resting in the clouds at that time to wait for Western Xia, it was very likely that the city of Tokyo would have been broken.

"After the army marched westward, Sa Liyu led the army south, conquered Jingzhao Mansion as soon as possible, and broke the hometown of the first emperor, when the Jingzhao Mansion was razed to the ground, it is best to dig up the grave of the first emperor, I feel excited when I think about it!"

Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, sent the general Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops, from the Yanmen out of the fortress, all the land in Henan, but the Xiongnu more than 700 li, the Hu people did not dare to go south to herd horses, the soldiers did not dare to bend the bow to complain, the domineering of the Central Plains Dynasty shocked the ancient and the modern.

The Jin people wanted to break the pride of the Song people and make the Song people surrender. The Han people sometimes have heroes, who will not be captured, and are willing to slaughter and destroy their pillars of confidence, which is the royal way.

"Sticky Han, Wang Song waved his troops to Taiyuan, why don't we wave our troops south, and together with Yinshuke, kill Wang Song first?"

Wan Yan looked at the thousands of troops and horses heading south, his brows furrowed, and he was always a little worried.

In his opinion, the biggest scourge of the Jurchens was Wang Song. It doesn't seem to be so important.

"Wang Song's soldiers are strong and strong, and now is not the time to get rid of him. If the army goes south, if it scares Wang Song away and lets him escape into the city or the Taihang Mountains, it will not be a failure. ”

Wanyan Zonghan's eyes were cold, and the essence in his eyes made people shudder.

"There are more than 30,000 elites in Taiyuan City, Wang Song wants to capture Taiyuan City, but he can't do it in a few months."

In the first year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zonghan led the Jurchen West Road army, which took more than 250 days to capture Taiyuan City, which was garrisoned by only a few thousand Song troops. If Wang Song wants to capture Taiyuan City, which is garrisoned by 30,000 elite soldiers, it will not take a few months, or even half a year, to leave tens of thousands of corpses behind, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.

"Sticky Han is right!"

Wanyan Lou Room nodded and said: "Let Yinshuke and Wang Song confront each other in Taiyuan City, and when the Song army suffered heavy casualties and was unsustainable, our army fought out from the flank of Shaanxi and blocked the Song army's way back. This time, you must kill Wang Song!"

Wan Yan Sali nodded slightly, let out a sigh of relief, and the worry on his face eased a lot.

"I hope that so many Jurchen warriors will not die!"

Wan Yan drank it, which made Wan Yan, the commander of the Han army next to him, laugh secretly. In war, there is no immortal.

If you want to capture the three states outside the river, and you want to destroy the elite of Wang Song's subordinates, you don't have the corpses of fifty or sixty thousand golden soldiers as mats, don't even think about it.

The Zhejia army is strong and strong, and the city is defended, and the Jin soldiers want to conquer Fuzhou, and I don't know how many casualties will be killed.

As for the loyal and righteous army, as we all know, Wang Song's subordinates are at home when they die, coupled with the sharp firearms, bloody battles are inevitable.

Wanyan Zonghan's strategy convinced him. The Jurchen army was isolated north of Taiyuan, and Wanyan Lou Room waved his army south, crossing the river from Shaanxi to the east, Wang Song was caught off guard, and it seemed that defeat was inevitable.

Wang Song!

The Jurchen army attacked Shaanxi, all of which were prepared for Wang Song.

Since the defeat of Tokyo City in the first year of Jingkang, all the shame described by the Jurchen army came from Wang Song and the loyal army he trained.

As long as Wang Song is destroyed, the entire Great Song Dynasty will not be at the mercy of the Jurchens and trampled by the iron cavalry of the Jurchen warriors.

"Sticky Han, having said that, he can ask for tens of thousands of troops under his command, and defend the city, and Fuzhou is steep and abnormal. If you want to solve it quickly, I'm afraid it's not easy!"

After thinking for a moment, another worried word came out.

"Drink away, and don't look backwards. As long as the north-south communication is cut off, it can be attacked, and if it cannot be attacked, troops will be sent to garrison it to prevent it from ventilating and reporting information. The army continued southward, annihilated the Jinning army, crossed the Yellow River, and inserted itself from behind Wang Song. ”

Wanyan Zonghan sneered and continued:

As long as you can destroy Wang Song with Yinshu, Hedong will be owned by my Dajin Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty will be like a thing in a bag, and it is not a problem to ask for it. When the time comes, I will wait for your good news in the clouds!"

"Wang Song, you dog thief, this time I have to cut off your dog's head to avenge the living girl!"

Thinking of his tragic son, Wan Yan Lou's eyes turned red, and his eyes became hideous.

"Sticky Han, don't worry, wait for my good news in the clouds!"

Wanyan Lou was about to beat his horse down the mountain, when he suddenly saw a team of Jurchen knights coming on the official road in the south, all sweating profusely and looking frightened.

Wan Yan Lou Room and Wan Yan Sa glanced at each other, both suspicious in their hearts. Looking at the appearance of this team of knights, it seems that they are not their own soldiers.

The knights beat their horses forward, and when they reached the dirt slope in front of Yan Zonghan's horse, they restrained the horses and dismounted one after another.

"Marshal, the big thing is not good, Wang Song's department has broken through Taiyuan City, and our army has retreated to Xinzhou, this is the official document of the deputy capital Yinshuke!"

The knights rushed uphill and knelt down on one knee, leading the way, holding the official document in his hand high.

"What?"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and after Yan Zonghan pointed at his horsewhip, he scolded sharply:

"What did you just say? Say it again! ”

The knight was terrified, and replied in a trembling voice:

"Back to ...... Marshal, Wang ...... Song broke through the city of Taiyuan overnight, and our army ...... Retreat to Xinzhou. ”

Wanyan Zonghan was like being struck by lightning, his eyes were dark, and he almost fell off his horse.

The generals next to him were also scorched. How could the impregnable Taiyuan City be broken by Wang Song overnight?

After Yan Lou stepped forward, he snatched the official document with his hand and looked at it.

"15,000 soldiers were lost, tens of thousands of horses were lost, and the generals Sha Guzhi, Beilu, and Pulu Hu were killed in battle......"

Wan Yan Lou's face turned pale, his fingers trembled slightly, he stayed for a moment, and roared loudly: "You guy, are you lying about the military situation?" Taiyuan City has more than 30,000 elite soldiers, and there is plenty of food and grass, how could it be broken by the Song army overnight?"

Wanyan Zonghan's face was ugly, and everyone stared at the knight who reported the news.

"Back to the capital, the Song army didn't know what magic trick they had cast, they collapsed the city wall of Taiyuan City, and they broke into the city at night, and our army was caught off guard, so it was ......"

Immediately, all the generals were dumbfounded.

"Sticky Han, do you want the army to stop attacking Shaanxi, wave your troops south, and go straight to Taiyuan?"

The silence was broken by the end of the face. The Song army broke through the city of Taiyuan and went down from the southwest of Shaanxi, and there was no need to attack from behind.

After Yan Zonghan was the best among the people, he was silent for a moment and shook his head categorically.

"The army continued to march westward and conquer Shaanxi. Once the itinerary is changed, the army's morale is unstable, and the morale will be completely lost, how can it fight a decisive battle with the Song army?"

Wanyan Lou Room was also helpless, nodded and said: "The Song army occupies Taiyuan City, and it will definitely not let go easily." The army attacked Shaanxi, took the opportunity to go south, and then surrounded the Song army in Taiyuan City, and surrounded the point to send reinforcements, just like in the first year of Jingkang. ”

After Yan Lou's words, the generals on the horse nodded one after another. Taiyuan City has been lost, Wang Song will be stationed in person, then take advantage of the cold and freezing, surround Taiyuan City, cut off traffic, the Song army has no cavalry, Wang Song will inevitably be unable to escape.

"What Lou Mu said is extremely true. The loss of Taiyuan City must not spread in the army, and those who leak military orders will not be spared!"

Wanyan Zonghan shouted loudly, and all the generals were trembling.

"Tell Yinshuke to let him sit in Xinzhou and guard Shiling Pass. After our army attacked Shaanxi and advanced to Hedong, it would attack from the north and south and besiege Taiyuan. ”

Wan Yancai was shocked. After Yan Zonghan arranged it like this, when he besieged Taiyuan City, wouldn't his subordinates Han'er be killed and wounded again?

After all, he is just a Han Dong Cai.
