Chapter 377: The situation is complicated
By the time Xing Huan dealt with everything and caught up with Zhao Gou, the latter had already arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion.
The huge map marks one imprint after another, from Hebei to Hedong, from Hedong to Kansai, all kinds of markers of different sizes indicate different forces.
For example, marked with red marks, the Zhai family brothers (Zhai Xing Zhai Jin) who insisted on resisting Jin in Heluo, Xu Huiyan who still insisted on not surrendering after the fall of Taiyuan, Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang, the military supervisor of Taiyuan Prefecture and the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan Prefecture, and the Zhejia who were entrenched in Lin, Fu and Feng Prefectures, and finally the "Zhongyi Society" organized by Liang Xing, Zhao Yun, Li Jin and others who were entrenched in Delong Mansion and Zezhou.
On the Hebei side, there were Zhang Suojun, who had already joined him, and Huang Qianshan and Yang Weizhong, who marched south from Hejian to Jizhou, and Chen Yujun, who had moved from Hejian to Jizhou, and Chen Yujun of Zhongshan Prefecture.
This is the seventh of the eight most important forces in the Northlands.
The remaining share is the Hedong thief Wang Shanbu, who has 500,000 troops, this number is of course false, but it is true that there are many people, and it is a fact that the strength is not weak. Wang Shan is also anti-Jin, and at the same time anti-Song. It is very different from Liang Xing and others summoned by Zhao Gou.
In addition, there are many sporadic small bandit armies, such as Yue Fei's fellow countryman Kong Yanzhou, who was originally a scoundrel in the countryside and killed people as thieves. In the first year of Jingkang, he was recruited into the army and promoted to the jurisdiction of the soldiers and horses on the East and West Roads of Beijing. But as the governor of the Western Provincial Governor, Wang Xiang of Henan Mansion, fled without a fight, Kong Yanzhou also took advantage of the chaos to pull the team and become a bandit.
Another example is Zhang Yong, who is a righteous brother with Wang Shan, and he is also a bandit all the way.
Such people are all Song and Jin, so Zhao Gou uses gray to represent them.
There is also a large force of red troops coming from west to east, which is the Qian Gai army from Kansai, which has now entered the Heluo area. After the defeat of Bianliang, the Jin army quickly retreated north, which shows that this army will regain Heluo in a few days.
However, although Qian Gaijun came out, it was also an afterthought. The Jin army had already been repelled by Zhao Gou, and the Zhai brothers also took advantage of the opportunity of the Jin army to enter Bianjing to recover the imperial tomb in one fell swoop. Qian Gai's only credit now is to rush to Bianjing in time, which gives Zhao Huan a sense of security.
And Hebei Huang Qianshan's attitude is still very hesitant, Chen Yu has not replied so far, Xu Huiyan, Sun Ang, and Zhe Keqiu are too far away, and I don't know if the news has arrived.
When Xing Huan arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Gou was staring at the map in a daze.
He only knew a little about the history of Jingkang, and had only heard the names of Liang Xing, Zhang Suo and Huang Qianshan, the former was the big boss of the Taihang Anti-Jin Zhongyi Society, and the key figure in the Yuejia Army connecting the Heshuo Righteous Army; Zhang Suo in the middle is the father of Yue Fei's deputy general Zhang Xian, and Zhang Xian is still Yue Fei's son-in-law. And Huang Qianshan is a traitor like Wang Boyan in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty.
As for the fold can be begged, She Taijun knows it, and he has also heard of the name of the fold family, but when the two Song Dynasty communicated, the presence of the fold family was really too low.
And who is Zhai Xing Zhai Jin? Who is Wang Shanzhang Yong? Who is Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang? There are also Yang Weizhong and Chen Yu, the former is just a general in the Western Army, so Zhao Conception thinks of Liu Yanqing, and he doesn't care much about this person. But what about the latter? Zhao Huan's mind of the marshal of Hebei soldiers and horses, he has never heard of it.
The situation in Hedong, Hebei Province is not a simple military issue at all for the current Zhao Gou.
Complex political struggles have replaced the military as Zhao Gou's greatest concern.
Of course, this does not mean that Zhao Gou is not taken lightly about the military. On the contrary, this military is the foundation of his expansion, and it is the advantage of his expansion, which must not only be maintained, but also continue to be bigger and stronger.
Called Zong Ze as the commander, led the troops to take the caliber of Fu (one of the eight paths of Taihang, in Cizhou), entered the Longde Mansion in the east of the river, and after converging with Liang Xing's loyal and righteous army, he swept the east of the river. Echoing Xu Huiyan, Sun Ang, and Zhe Keqiu in the north, they not only had to purge the soldiers and horses and some scum left by the Jin people in the Hedong territory, but also launched an offensive against Wang Shan and other bandits.
Those who are willing to surrender will not be bloodless; If you don't want to obey, or if the people are too angry, then completely eradicate them.
Although Zong Ze brought only a few 10,000 people, Zhao Gou's main force was still guarding against the Jin army, which had already withdrawn from Zhending, and was still in Qingyuan Mansion. is even more guarding against Huang Qianshan, Chen Yu, Yang Weizhong and others, if they see the gap, lead the troops to Xingyuan suddenly, and send him back to Bianjing, it will really capsize in the gutter.
Therefore, there were only a few 10,000 soldiers and horses entering Hedong.
The Zhongyi Society, which united Liang Xing and others, had a total strength of about 20,000 or 30,000 people, and most of the rebels' armaments were very poor. But such a power is enough to sweep the current Hedong boundary.
You must know that the main force of the Jin people's Western Route Army has followed Sticky Han south, and there are only a few 35,000 Jin soldiers left to guard in Taiyuan Mansion, and then there are 10,000 troops led by Zhang Hao. There are no other soldiers and horses!
The whole land east of the river is very empty. Otherwise, how can Wang Shanzhi and his ilk be allowed to sit big? That is, the Zhe Keqiu army suffered heavy losses in the previous battle of Taiyuan, and seeing that the situation in Zhao and Song was not good, there were a bit of two ends between Song and Jin, otherwise, the Song army took advantage of the weakness, even if it could not take Taiyuan Mansion, it would definitely be able to sweep southwest Jin.
After the disgrace of Jingkang, Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang in history saw that the situation was becoming more and more embarrassing, and fought to the death, relying only on the soldiers and horses in their hands and the righteous army to take Xizhou, Fenzhou, Jinzhou and other places, that is, southwest Jin. Although when the gold man freed his hand, he extinguished it in the blink of an eye.
However, the Fuzhou family had a wait-and-see heart, and the sons who could ask for it were all caught by the Jinren. And because of the marching policy of the Western Route Army led by Sticky Han (mentioned above), it was swept all the way, which was completely different from the Eastern Route Army's strategy of avoiding the real and attacking the false. Therefore, the entire Hedong territory is outside Fuzhou, and there is really no established Song army.
Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang only had a little defeated army that they had gathered with all their might, plus the volunteers in Lanzhou, Shizhou and other places.
Such a power can only protect itself.
Therefore, at present, in the eastern border of Hedong, many state capitals have no soldiers to garrison, so they can only ask the young and strong people in the city to gather and form associations to protect themselves.
If the Jin people are still in the general trend, they can naturally easily grasp the world in Hedong. Just like in history, Xu Huiyan and Sun Ang's desperate fight was easily wiped out by the Jin people after defeating the Western Army (Fan Zhixu's Army) in the blink of an eye.
But the current situation is that the Jin people have been defeated.
That Hedong Road turned the sky in a blink of an eye, and it was no problem.
Zhao Gou didn't know if Qian Gai had divided his troops into Hedong, but after he returned to the Daimyo's Mansion, he immediately took Zong Ze as his commander and divided his troops to go.
This place in Hebei is a bit prickly, and there is only one Chen Yu, so he is not sure to eat Hebei. Therefore, Hedong becomes crucial.
In this way, even if the situation in Hebei is still complicated, if he captures Hedong, then at least there will be a place to live. It doesn't matter if he can take the sixteen states of Yanyun.
Xing Huan rushed to the Daimyo's Mansion at this time and brought him some news about the Yanwang Mansion, and the letter alone was thick. In one letter, there was even a depiction of his three-year-old daughter.
It's really heartwarming, but it really doesn't work as a bird.
His 'wife, concubine and children' will be fine now, even if Zhao Huan wants to fight with Zhao Gou, it is impossible to attack a group of women and children.
A royal person has to save face when doing things.
He is to confine the upper and lower levels of the Yanwang Mansion for a lifetime, and it is impossible to kill people and cut off their heads with open fire.
The only thing that made him feel useful was that Zhao Huan conveyed a very clear message to him through Xing Huan - for the time being, Zhao Huan had no intention of tearing his face with him.
Even if it's just a deceptive move, it shows that they're not fully prepared!
