Chapter 978: Infighting
Wan Yan Jing never wanted the territory of the Jin Kingdom to be slowly eaten away by the Song people in his hands, and his mind to win over Ye Qing had never been broken, but it didn't mean that when he had the opportunity to get rid of Ye Qing or snatch the territory, he would still miss the old feelings.
And this time the soldiers were divided into three roads, all the way to contain Bianjing Road, all the way to Jinan Mansion, all the way to attack Hetao three roads, Wan Yan Jing's top priority, naturally put it on the three roads of Hetao that he lost with his own hands.
Since Ye Qing began the Northern Expedition, the victory between the Song and Jin countries began to uncontrollably favor the Song people's side, Wan Yan Jing tried all the methods he could think of, but he still couldn't recover the decline of the Jin people in the face of the Song people, and now he has no way to retreat.
The founding of the Mongols also gave Wan Yanjing a great wake-up call, making him realize that if he faced the defeat of the Song people again and again, then once the Mongols came back to their senses after conquering Liao, he would be in a more difficult situation between the Song and Mongolians.
Ye Qing has always extended an olive branch to him and joined forces to fight against the Mongols, but now Wan Yanjing is still haunted by most of the territory that Ye Qing has taken away.
Compared with Temujin, he is naturally inclined to join forces with Ye Qing to fight against the Mongols, but such a alliance requires a prerequisite, that is, Jin is the leader, not the Song people, and not the Song people, let alone the Song people when they have taken away most of their territory.
After all, if he joined forces with the Song people under such circumstances, there would inevitably be all kinds of different voices from the government and the opposition, and when Jin Ting arrived, what was the difference between him and the Song people who were cowardly and only knew how to beg for peace?
Whether it is the Jin people from the government and the opposition, or Wan Yanjing, who ascended the throne as the emperor, they are unwilling to let the Jin Kingdom become the second cowardly Song court, let alone take the Song court as the leader.
Therefore, the capture of the Hetao Third Road, or Jinan Mansion, for Wan Yan Jing, for the Jin State, will be a key battle related to the national fortunes, win the Song people to regain the territory, the prestige of the Great Jin will still be prosperous, but if the Song people are defeated again, then if the Jin people want to straighten up in front of the Song people and raise their heads high, it will become extremely impossible.
It is precisely because of these various reasons that Wan Yanjing attaches great importance to this battle against the Song Dynasty, not to mention that the Song people are now at war with the Xia people, and the Jin people are completely opportune, and they also have the initiative and advantage of the war.
The gods and slaves of Qishilie know Ye Qing very well, and with the assistance of the two clans of Wanyan Xiang and Wanyan Zonghao, Wanyan Jing has reason to believe that he can rely on this battle to reverse the situation of Song winning and losing since he succeeded to the throne.
Wan Yan Jing, who is determined to win, almost put all the bets on the battle of the three roads of Hetao and the two roads of Jinan Mansion, the west is two clans and a capable general, and the south is Li Tiege, Li Xi'er and other imperial relatives, although the two led the troops to fight a little worse, but the elite iron cavalry Tiefutu of the Jin people was also sent more by Wan Yan Jing to Li Tiege and Li Xi'er.
In this way, in the face of Jinan Mansion, which does not have many troops stationed, Wan Yanjing is also extremely optimistic that in the battle of Jinan Mansion, the Jin people will regain the lost territory, so as to fight Huainan Road again, and even have the opportunity to take advantage of the situation to cross the river and point directly at Song Ting Lin'an.
"The spies reported that the Song people who were stationed in Menshan and Yanchang were only 30,000 horses, of which about 3,000 were cavalry, and the rest were infantry troops. As for the commander-in-chief....... Wanyan Zonghao frowned, and he was not very convinced by the commander of this battle, the begging stone martyrs, but he still said in a deep voice: "It's two nobodies, people who have never heard of ......." ”
"Can you find their names?" How could the begging stone martyrs not know the dissatisfaction in Yan Zonghao's heart, along the way, Wanyan Zonghao has been abusing power many times, but it is also because of his timely performance of the Holy Lord, so that Wanyan Zonghao has been able to swallow his anger until now.
"It's called Wang Chong, Xie Lun." Wan Yan Xiang glanced at the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and then looked at Wan Yan Zonghao who looked dissatisfied, he was also a clan, he naturally had a heart for Wan Yan Zonghao, so he pouted and said: "Qi Shi Lie gods and slaves, although you are deeply trusted in front of the saint, but the two of us are also the clan and the commander of the army this time, you should ask your own subordinates about these things, not let Zong Hao answer you." ”
"Before the expedition, the two saints were deputy generals, and I was the real commander of the first army, should I ask the two main generals as the main general?" The begging stone lie gods and slaves frowned, looked at the two of them unhappily, and continued to ask coldly: "Have you found out if Ye Qing is on Yan Yan Road?" ”
"I don't know for the time being, if you want to know, I'll go to scout in person." After Yan Zonghao's face was gloomy, and after coldly throwing down a sentence, he walked out without looking back.
Wan Yan Xiang looked at the back of the angry Wan Yan Zonghao and smiled, and then turned his head to the begging stone lie gods and slaves whose faces were also more gloomy, and said with a smile: "Qi Shi Lie gods and slaves, although you have won the trust of the saints, but now you are just a prince, and Zong Hao and I are both princes, so your attitude is ...... It's still a little more respectful of us. Although the Holy Lord sent you as the main general this time, and the two of us were the deputies, in the final analysis, we are the clan after all, and we are all in order to defeat the Song people this time. We have nearly 100,000 people, and they are only 30,000, so you don't have to be so nervous, right? ”
"Ye Qing has always been scheming, insidious and cunning, and daring to put the army in the light so blatantly will never be so simple. Even if he is not in Yanlu now, I do not believe that his generals would dare to wait so foolishly for our iron cavalry to step through their barracks. Therefore, it is better to be careful, so as not to disappoint the high hopes of the saints. The beggar god slave sighed and said.
Now there are only seven or eight days left, and nearly 100,000 troops will be able to reach the Yellow River, at this time, he naturally doesn't want to make extraneous branches, let alone affect the entire army's heart because of personal grievances with Wan Yan Zonghao and Wan Yan Xiang.
But obviously Wan Yanxiang doesn't think so, and he doesn't want to let go of this great opportunity to seize power.
Whether it is in Wanyan Xiang or Wanyan Zonghao's view, the Song people should always be vulnerable, otherwise, how could they have been bullied by the Dajin State for so many years and couldn't raise their heads?
Now that the saint has succeeded to the throne, although it is said that he did not win the war with the Song people, the reason for this is not all because of the seemingly brave and fearful begging stone lie gods and slaves in front of him?
"Begging Shilie Divine Slave, you won't be scared by that Ye Qing, right? Otherwise, how could you be deterred by Ye Qing alone, and your 20,000 army would not dare to take a step forward? Or is it ...... Begging Shilie Divine Slave, you already have a disagreement with my Dajin? Wan Yanxiang sniffed the teacup and said sarcastically with an intoxicated expression.
"Ben will be loyal to me and the saint, if not, how can I be the commander of this expedition to the Song Dynasty?" The gaze of the begging stone lie gods and slaves couldn't help but chill, staring at the leisurely Wan Yanxiang, and continued: "Yes, I did go to the Liao Kingdom with Ye Qing, but it is precisely because of this that I know Ye Qing's insidious cunning better than you. As for saying that I was scared out of my courage by Ye Qing, you can say so, and I don't need to explain it to you, as long as the Holy One trusts me, it is enough. ”
"Holy trust? Begging Shilie Divine Slave, then let's wait and see, once you fight with the Song people, if you lose even once, don't think about being this commander again! When the time comes, I will definitely honor the Holy One and remove you. Wan Yan Xiang put down the teacup and said coldly: "By the way, during this time, I can look at you as the horse, but I also hope you remember that whether I am Wan Yan Xiang or Wan Yan Zonghao, the title will be higher than you, so please ask you in the future, don't talk to us with that attitude of instructing subordinates!" ”
The beggar Shilie gods and slaves watched Wan Yanxiang leave with a cold snort, his brows were twisted, what he was most afraid of was that the two of them would not obey his orders, and they were already stumbling along the way, and once they arrived at the front line, who knew what would happen that would affect the morale of the army.
At the beginning, he wanted to make Yan Jing clear and ask him to withdraw the dispatch of Wan Yan Zonghao and Wan Yan Xiang, but because Wan Yan Jing attached great importance to the matter of this expedition to the Song Dynasty, it was inevitable to win, and the face of Wan Yan Yongji, the king of Wei Shao, made him have to swallow the words he wanted to express back into his stomach.
And now, these days of getting along with each other have made him realize that these two people are still living in the dream of trampling on the Song people in the old days, and they don't know that the Song people today, especially the Song army in the north, under the leadership of Ye Qing, are no longer comparable to those Song people back then.
Of course, what worries him even more is that once the army reaches the banks of the Yellow River, if there are always two moments in the army that will disturb the morale of the army, and even want to seize power at any time, then in this battle, once Ye Qing's old fox arrives in person, even if there are more troops on his side, I am afraid that Ye Qing, who is calculating and good at finding fighters in adversity, will not end well.
Now, whether it is the entire Dajin Kingdom, or the current Saint Wanyan Jing, or his begging stone martyr gods and slaves, he can't afford to lose.
If he couldn't lead his troops to defeat Ye Qing at this perfect time for the main force of the Song people to fight with the Xia people, then in the battle of Guanshan, he was shocked by Ye Qing alone, and he couldn't go further, which would inevitably become a reason for others in the court to impeach him.
And at that time, I'm afraid that even the Holy Lord will not be able to protect him, and he will have no shame to see the Holy Lord again, and even more shameless to face his father and brother who died in the hands of Ye Qing.
Taking a deep breath, the begging stone lie gods and slaves became more gloomy, and a trace of killing intent gradually appeared in his eyes, now he has no way out, if he wants to be worthy of the saint in this battle, worthy of his father and brother who died in the hands of Ye Qing, then he must make a difference in this battle, and must not let Wanyan Xiang and Wanyan Zonghao ruin his big business.
His hands gradually clenched into powerful fists, and a sneer appeared on the corner of the mouth of the begging stone lie god slave who had made up his mind in his heart, maybe he borrowed the hands of the Song people to kill the two people who were in the way, or was it before the battle...... It is also a good idea to unknowingly execute the two and blame the Song people again.
