646, Self-inflicted iniquity cannot live (1)
How did Ye Luchun come up with the idea of raiding Tokyo?
It turned out that on that day, Yeluchun was leading the army to Lizhou in a hurry, and just halfway through he met Yelubu Guye, who was desperately rushing back to report the news, after listening to Yelubu Guye's report, Yeluchun was taken aback, and immediately ordered the army to stop advancing and convened the generals to discuss countermeasures.
As Hua Rong expected, many of Ye Luchun's subordinates thought that since the danger of Lizhou was a plan set up by the Jin army to "encircle the point and send reinforcements", of course, they could not throw themselves into the net, and the tragic lesson of Huanglong Mansion was still vivid, so they should abandon Lizhou and reopen the grain route.
Some people also advised Yeluchun not to abandon Lizhou, they believe that if Lizhou is lost, the whole body will be moved, and the Liao army will be passive everywhere for a long time, and if you are not careful, you will lose all the plates, so even if you know that there are tigers in the mountains, you must go to Tiger Mountain, and Lizhou must not be lost!
The party that thinks that Lizhou should be abandoned immediately refuted, everyone knows that the cost of abandoning Lizhou is very high, but the key now is that we have no way to keep Lizhou anymore. If we abandon Lizhou, even if we are passive, we will still have a chance to turn over in the future and insist on rescuing Lizhou, once we fall into the ambush of the Jin army, we may suffer a catastrophe, and there will be no hope.
Ye Luchun was undecided, although he was inclined to keep Lizhou from the bottom of his heart, but the words of those who opposed keeping Lizhou were not wrong, and he insisted on rescuing Lizhou, in case he couldn't break the ambush of the Jin army, it would be all over.
At this time, Yelu Bu Guye, who had been watching coldly, suddenly spoke, and he said angrily that a group of Song people dared to risk their lives for the entire battle situation to continue to rescue Lizhou, what kind of shame do we have as the people of Daliao to steal our lives?! Those Song people are using their lives to buy time for us, we have to give up this last life-saving straw, and we are not far from a comprehensive failure!
Yeluchun and everyone were stunned by the roar, they didn't expect that Yelubuguye, who was honest in the past, would have this kind of reaction, Yeluchun was a little moved, but at this time, those who insisted on abandoning Lizhou questioned Yelubu Guyedao, what he was most afraid of in the war was to be willful, if you want to keep Lizhou, please come up with a way to rescue Lizhou first, otherwise keeping Lizhou is just an empty talk!
They thought that Yelu Bu Guye, who had always been shrewd and more than stupid, but he was just a reckless man, would be asked, but who expected, Yelu Bu Guye actually said several ways without hesitation, and Ye Lu Chun and everyone were surprised when they heard it, and they all stared at Ye Lu Bu Gu Ye with wide eyes as if they had never seen him before.
Yeluchun couldn't help but ask Yelubu Guye in confusion how he came up with these methods?
Yelu Bu Guye replied without hesitation, it was taught to me by the Song man named Hua Rong, and he said that you can either take out the courage to put yourself to death and come back to smash the Jin people's conspiracy, or abandon Lizhou and sit still, there is absolutely no third way to go!
Yeluchun was greatly shocked when he heard this, and the wolf nature of being a Khitan who had been suppressed in his heart for a long time finally woke up completely, and he immediately announced that Lizhou must not be lost! We must do everything we can to keep Lizhou!
Those who opposed the rescue of Lizhou hurriedly persuaded Ye Luchun to think about it again, and not to act rashly, but unexpectedly, Ye Luchun suddenly pulled out his knife and cut off a small tree beside him, and said angrily, "If anyone dares to abandon Lizhou again, he should be like this!" ”
Now no one dares to talk nonsense anymore.
Next, Ye Luchun led everyone to discuss how to crack the Jin people's "encirclement and reinforcement", but everyone racked their brains but had no clue, because the most critical problem has not been solved, that is, who is sure to fight with the Jin army who has already set up a heavy ambush?
Just when everyone was at a loss, Ye Luchun's middle-aged entourage surnamed Xiao suddenly came to his senses, and he thought that since we couldn't fight hard with the Jin army, the best way was to adopt the strategy of "encircling Wei and saving Zhao" proposed by Hua Rong, and find another way to attack an important location of the Jin people, forcing the Jin army to return to help.
Yeluchun thought so, and hurriedly asked where to attack, now that the junction of Da Liao and Jin is full of battlefields, where will there be such an effect? Unless we can get past the Jin army's defense line to attack the important ...... in their rear,
Halfway through the words, Ye Luchun's heart suddenly moved, and he suddenly understood the meaning of the middle-aged man surnamed Xiao, and immediately exclaimed, "Could it be ...... Maritime? ”
The middle-aged man surnamed Xiao nodded, and continued, the Jin people are raising the whole country's troops to fight with us on the front line, the rear must be empty, those Jingdong people's fleets have now completely blocked the Jin people's coast, we can just cross the sea to land in Liaodong, Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion is very close to the sea, as long as we can successfully land, it only takes one day to rush to the city of Tokyo, when the time comes, it will be difficult for the Jin people not to return to help!
Ye Luchun no longer hesitated, and immediately agreed, he first sent people to the sea to prepare ships, whether it was merchant ships, war ships, even fishing boats, and at the same time contacted those Jingdong sailors, asking them to help transport people and escort them at sea.
Subsequently, Yeluchun led the army to the seaside on the one hand, and mobilized all the troops that could be mobilized to gather in Nanjing, in case the Jin people attacked Nanjing, and at the same time, Yeluchun sent an urgent order to the frontline troops, ordering them to keep an eye on the movements of the Jin army at any time, once the Jin army retreated, do not hesitate, must take advantage of the victory to pursue!
Ruan Xiaoer immediately agreed to Ye Lu Chun's order after receiving the news, and in this way, in the shortest possible time, Ye Lu Chun's tens of thousands of troops took hundreds of ships, large and small, under the escort of the Dengzhou Naval Division, successfully and forcibly landed in Jian'an Port, and fought all the way to Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.
When the siege of Liaoyang Mansion, Ye Luchun heard that Liaoyang Mansion was full of Jin nobles, including even the old rival Wanyan Lou's family, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed, so he wanted to storm Liaoyang Mansion, fortunately he was persuaded by the middle-aged man surnamed Xiao again, he thought that although the city of Tokyo is currently insufficient, but the city wall is strong and easy to defend and difficult to attack, plus our trip is a surprise attack, food and grass are insufficient, it is not suitable for a protracted war at all, or honestly only besiege Tokyo as well. Yeluchun had no choice but to give up.
Next, the news spread, and the country of Jin really shook the whole country, and countless Jin troops began to frantically return to Tokyo, including the army of Wanyan Lou's room.
As soon as the army of Yan Lou Room withdrew, the scouts of the Liao army rushed to the sea with the news and passed it to Yeluchun by sea.
Yeluchun was overjoyed, seeing that the goal had been achieved, and a large number of Jin troops would also be killed, in order to prevent being cut off by the Jin army, he decisively withdrew his troops, returned to the seaside, and met Ruan Xiaoer, who had been waiting there, and then returned to Liao by boat.
The Jin army came to the city of Tokyo and pounced first, but it didn't matter, the danger of Tokyo was at least saved, but unexpectedly a series of unfavorable news followed, the Liao army took advantage of the opportunity of the main force of the Jin army to retreat to rescue Tokyo, and suddenly launched a series of fierce attacks, hitting the remaining Jin army by surprise, the Jin army was defeated and retreated by the Liao army successfully regained a large area of territory, and pushed the entire front to the side of the Jin country for hundreds of miles, and returned to the way it was at the beginning of the year.
Emperor Jin was furious, thinking that all this was due to Wanyan Lou's miscalculation of the situation and improper command, and personally wrote to Wanyan Lou's room to severely reprimand him.
Wanyan Lou was extremely aggrieved, and then wrote a book bluntly saying that this time the strategy of using Lizhou to "encircle and send reinforcements" was not flawed, and it should be a big victory that hit Yeluchun hard and might even kill him, and the reason why this situation occurred in the end was entirely due to the fact that the Song State treacherously sent troops to help Yeluchun, although the Song army did not wear their traditional military uniforms in order to cover up their identities, but wore a black military uniform that they had never seen before, but through the interrogation of the Liao army prisoners and the analysis of their various performances, their identities can be determined! Moreover, the reason why Ye Luchun could sneak attack Tokyo by sea was obviously with the help of Song Guo, otherwise how could he have a well-equipped mysterious sailor overnight?
In short, the culprit is Song Guo, no doubt!
