The king of Han arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Jin arrived early with 40,000 cavalry, and the two brothers Zhi Yanlong and Zhi Yanhu also arrived with 40,000 cavalry.

80,000 cavalry were stationed not far from the Jin army camp, and at the same time, Hua Rong led 10,000 Han king's cavalry to arrive, this new heavy armored cavalry, not only shouldered the duty of defending the Han king, but also showed its might in this battle to expel Yan Zonghan.

Taiyuan City has been besieged for nine months, and if it weren't for the prefect Zhang Chunxiao's early preparations at the suggestion of the King of Han, the city would have run out of food long ago. Although he is still struggling to support, Zhang Chunxiao knows that silver is the end of the strong crossbow, and he asks his fellow knowledge Wang Wei every day to see when the King of Han will come.

Zhang Chunxiao, the prefect of Taiyuan, is indeed a rare talent, but he has no background in the DPRK, so he knows nothing about the struggle between the DPRK and China, and he is not very clear. He didn't know why the official family had to put the King of Han under house arrest, but he knew that if he wanted to solve the crisis in Taiyuan Mansion, it was the King of Han.

Previously, the Western Army came to help, but as a result, Liu Fa, the first general of the Western Army, was killed in battle, and the 50,000 Xihe Road Army was wiped out. The 100,000 army of the first general in the northwest was almost exhausted, and even the old handsome breeder Dao was killed. After these two groups of men and horses were annihilated by the Jin army, no one came to rescue Taiyuan City.

It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and now the food in Taiyuan City is decreasing day by day, and the common people have been reduced to one meal a day, and the soldiers have been reduced to two meals. But despite this, Taiyuan City couldn't hold out for a month. The eight major families led by the Wang family have long emptied the grain, after all, it has been a long time and the consumption of more than 100,000 people is huge. Although these ordinary people made contributions when defending the city, the daily consumption of food was still out of the capacity of Taiyuan Mansion.

Zhang Chunxiao misestimated the situation, you must know that it is so difficult, Taiyuan City is almost out of food crisis, he categorically will not accommodate so many people into the city, and now he has said everything, he can only pray for God's blessing.

Zhang Chunxiao faced Wang Yu, Wang Wei said: "This mansion is not going around in circles, and now the grain storage in Taiyuan Mansion will last for about twenty-five days at most, and then it will be eaten soil." ”

Of course, Wang Wei, who was born in the Wang family, knew what the prefect meant, and he shook his head helplessly and said: "The Wang family has been squeezed dry, and the eight major families have long been drained. Of course, the eight major families will not go hungry, but it is obviously unrealistic to ask them to donate food. We can only wait now, wait for the King of Han to come to the rescue of Taiyuan Mansion. As long as King Han comes, then everything is not a problem. ”

Wang Yu's face was very heavy, and he said a little frustratedly: "Taiyuan Mansion has long been crumbling, if the Jin army forcibly attacks the city again, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold it." ”

Although the Jin army was hit hard last time, the Jin army still has an absolute advantage, but Wanyan Zonghan doesn't know the actual situation of Taiyuan Mansion, if he knows, he will definitely go all out to attack the city, and the impregnable Tai Oh Yuan will be conquered.

Now the city of Taiyuan is no longer like the beginning, everyone is actively participating in the war, and now the people in the city know that they are running out of food, in this case, who is willing to die for defending the city.

Now Taiyuan City can be said to be full of crises, let the prefect Zhang Chunxiao have no skills, it is useless, that is, at this moment of great crisis, on the eve of August 15 of the second year of Jingkang, the king of Han led a large army to kill Jingzhao Mansion.

It is only at this time that everyone understands who is the savior of the Great Song Dynasty and who can truly relieve the crisis in Taiyuan City. At this time, the prefect Zhang Chunxiao was relieved, although he was a civil official, but he also knew that when the King of Han came, it was only a matter of time before he would compete with him and defeat the Jin army.

The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.

After the king of Han arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, the pressure of Wanyan Zonghan suddenly fought, although he had not fought with the king of Han, but the few defeats of the Jin army were all due to the king of Han.

In the previous battle of Yinshan, the Jin army was not convinced, and I always felt that it was an accident, but in the battle of Qingluan Town, it was definitely not an accident, it was the Han army that defeated the Jin army in a bright way, and it can be said that the Jin army lost convincingly.

Wanyan Zonghan was a little restless at this time, although he annihilated Liu Fa and the two western armies, but after all, he was defeated in the sixth siege battle and suffered heavy losses.

The Jin army, which has always advocated assault warfare, did not attack the Han army camp this time, but closed the camp door tightly, for fear of being attacked by the Han army. At this moment, Wanyan Zonghan no longer has the pride of the past, he doesn't want to, and he doesn't dare to go down to a showdown with King Han in this state, because once defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Is it safe to press the camp gate? Wanyan Zonghan immediately sent someone to send a battle report to Marshal Wanyan Xian to see how to arrange the upcoming war.

To tell the truth, if it weren't for the last fiasco, Wanyan Zonghan really wanted to fight with the King of Han, but the last fiasco was too great for the casualties of the Jin army, and in this case, Wanyan Zonghan lost the courage to fight.

The current Wanyan Zonghan is in a dilemma, in his bones he still wants to argue with the King of Han, but the situation is stronger than people, and there are less than 60,000 elite Jin Army warriors left in his hands, as for the remaining tens of thousands of captured Song Army, they are useless, and they are pure cannon fodder.

Although Wanyan Zonghan wanted to leave, he couldn't leave without Marshal Du's order, in this case, he could only choose to defend the camp, and let go of the siege of Taiyuan City.

Letting go of the siege of Taiyuan City was the last step of Wanyan Zonghan, who hoped that the Han army could enter Taiyuan City, so that the enemy could be trapped in the city.

In his current position, Wanyan Zonghan is the same as most of the generals of the Jin Army, and he still thinks that the Song Army is good at defending the city and not good at field warfare. No matter how powerful the Han King is, he will still choose to defend the city instead of fighting in the field.

The Jin army is less than 10,000 and invincible, this is the pride of the Jin army, and it is also the pride of every Jin army general, since they began to counterattack the Liao army, they are indeed invincible. As for the invasion of the Song Dynasty, it was even more of a killing Quartet and invincible.

In the camp of the Han army, the king of Han did not immediately attack the Jin army, this time the 90,000 cavalry battle, the purpose was not as simple as defeating Yan Zonghan, but to defeat the invincible ambition of Wan Yan Xieye, the marshal of the Jin country.

Seeing that King Han was hesitant, he admonished him overnight: "Lord, Taizu was in the yellow robe in this situation back then, why are you still hesitating, what are you waiting for?" ”

"At this time and that time, the situation at that time was that the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, and in order to find out for himself a certain future, the civil and military officials launched the Chen Qiaoyi change under the tandem of Zhao Kuangyi, of course, Zhao Kuangyin was happy." Speaking of this, King Han said casually: "At that time, the Khitan had no plan to go south, and even if the Khitan went south at that time, the situation was more optimistic than now. Now if the lone king comes to a yellow robe, then the Great Song Dynasty will collapse in an instant, the Emperor Taishang will rule across the river in the south of the Yangtze River, and the official family will still control Jingdong Road and Jingxi Road, and the Great Song Dynasty will become the Three Kingdoms Killing, and the Jin army will go south again, and the war situation will be chaotic. In any case, the Zhao family occupies the righteousness, and Lone has become a chaotic minister and thief who has brought disaster to the country and the people, and it is not the second in An Lushan. Of course, this is not the key, the most important thing is that Lone wants to completely defeat the Jin army, to be like the Tang Dynasty, to be like the Great Han, those who offend my Han will be punished even if they are far away, not like the Song Dynasty who is overwhelmed by the Liao State. ”

"The lord is sage, and the old minister is faint."

"If Gu ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, you are the founding father and the ruler of the country, don't bow down at every turn in the future." Liu Zhenglong was very disgusted with the etiquette of kneeling and bowing, and always wanted to cancel it, but the time was not ripe, he said after he helped Zhe Keqiu up: "The world is very big, and when you conquer Xiliao in the future, you will still expect the old man to conquer it in person, and then don't come back and establish a feudal kingdom of the Zhe family." For you founding fathers, King Gu will not do anything to release the military power, and of course he will not let you stay in the capital, after all, the military power is too heavy, which is not conducive to the stability of the country, and the fall of the Tang Dynasty is the best example. The world is very big, so you can open up the territory and tear the soil to seal the king. ”

"Thank you, Lord Long."

It is the dream of every military general, no one will be an exception, the Zhejia has guarded the northwest border for more than 200 years, and every head of the family has such a dream, but it is just a dream. Now that it is possible, of course he is excited, and he is very glad that his bet on the fold family can finally realize his dream.

"Old man, you are also nearly sixty years old, you must take care of your body, after destroying Xiliao, you will be the king, this is your mission, you must complete it."

"The old minister understands."

"Okay, you hurry up and meet Xixia, there is still inseparable from you, beware of Mili Qunfeng, this guy is ambitious, and he will be a big trouble in the future. Western Xia must not be messed up, this is your mission. ”

At this moment, he understood how big the ambition of the Han King was, and he also understood what the Zhe family had to do to achieve the king of the earth.

Liu Zhenglong picked up the teacup and said: "As for the expulsion of Yan Zonghan, you don't want to participate, the two brothers of Zhe Yanhu and Zhe Yanlong have enough opportunities to make contributions, the old man can leave, your mission is in Western Xia." ”

Before leaving, he called the two brothers Zhi Yanhu and Zhi Yanlong to his side, and told the two brothers the meaning of the Han King, and finally the old man said: "Remember, in the future, it is not because your two sisters are princesses, but because of your military achievements." Under the Han Dynasty, military merit was everything. Ah Hu, your biggest problem is the towel, more than brave, not enough strategy, Ah Long, your problem is that the book is too angry, the strategy is excellent, and the lack of courage. In the future, when you fight, your two brothers complement each other, and you must not be rash or unmotivated. In the future, it is really possible to establish a vassal state, and the father will be divided into two, and he will have no partiality towards the two brothers. If you lose on the battlefield and are beheaded, it will be your fate, and you will never shed a single tear as a father. ”

The meaning of Zhe Keqiu is very clear, the King of Han needs the two brothers of the Zhi family to make contributions on the battlefield, grow rapidly, and be able to truly take charge of themselves, and finally he said: "Seed Master Dao, Liu Fa is a generation of famous generals, and all of them were annihilated by Wanyan Zonghan, you must not be careless, you must plan and then move." Of course, the Dao of the Planters, Liu Fa's death in battle, and not starving can show that Yan Zonghan is strong, but it can only show that they have not made the necessary adjustments according to the changes in the battlefield situation. You participated in the Battle of Yinshan, and you should also understand that the Jin army is not invincible. You are not a military general who charges into battle, but you must command thousands of troops and horses, and you must have a view of the overall situation. Ah Hu, you are brave enough to champion the three armies, and you must build the army into a steel army that can compete with the Jin army. Ah Long, you are full of strategy and have a good view of the overall situation, you must control the overall situation, and you can't be surrounded and annihilated by the Jin army like Seed Master Dao and Liu Fa. The frontal battlefield is a duel of strength, but the art of war is cloudy, and the soldiers are not tired of cheating, and more often, it still requires strategy to win. ”

The two brothers understood their father's hard work, and of course they understood what their mission was.

After Zhi Keqiu left, Zhi Yanhu called Zhi Yanlong to his tent, and he said: "Second brother, you are full of strategy, you said that the King of Han will not attack the Jin army now, what are you waiting for?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Zhi Yanlong said: "King Han, I am waiting for our two brothers to take the initiative to ask for help, otherwise they would not have told their father about splitting the earth and sealing the king." Now, although we have the strength to annihilate the Jin army, we will suffer too many casualties in a hard-fought head-on decisive battle. Our Han army is different from the Jin army, the soldiers of other families are powerful cavalry from the beginning, and they hardly need to be trained, while our cavalry is trained by my father with great effort. King Han didn't want to consume too much, and he didn't want to carry it hard. King Han must have a strategy, but it was a bit risky, and he was a little hesitant, waiting for us to take the initiative to ask for help, not for him to give a military order. ”

"Second brother, then you mean to say that this battle is a surprise attack?"

"One hundred percent, as for where the surprise attack is, I don't know, tonight, we will go to visit the King of Han and take the initiative to ask for battle." Zhi Yanlong seemed to vaguely guess the strategic intentions of the Han King, but he was not very sure, so he did not say it.

In the evening, King Han knew that the two brothers of the Zhe family would come, so he waited early, and when he saw Zhe Yanlong and Zhe Yanhu coming in, he said with a smile: "Your nephew Liu Chenfeng and Liu Chenyun are about to run back, and you two uncles don't know how to prepare a gift, be careful that the two little guys don't recognize your two uncles." ”

Zhe Yanhu, Zhe Yanlong knelt on the ground and said: "Lord, our two brothers hope to use a big victory as a gift to our nephew, and I hope that the lord will give us an order to allow us to attack." ”

"Very good, the three armies are killed, why worry about the Jin army not being destroyed?" King Han motioned for the two brothers to sit down and talk, and he was very satisfied with the arrival of the two brothers of the Zhi family.
