Chapter 140: Military Order within Half a Year
August 15, 14th year of Liyang, Mid-Autumn Festival
Suo Ya, who had not yet received a reply from Aunt Mingjing, took the lead in welcoming Ji Linbing's disposal of him.
It can be seen that regarding the issue of Suo Ya, the Western Zhou Shuai has experienced a lot of twists and turns, Yan Kui is about to be promoted for ten years, and Suo Ya has just received the paperwork.
He was fined for one year and placed on probation for a period of six months.
Suo Ya held the document in his hand that had been judged against him, his face was cloudy, and his eyes were on fire.
Ji Linbing seemed to be very light on him this time, but this was only a superficial phenomenon, through the news of the connections over the Shuai tent, Suo Ya learned that in order to protect himself this time, his uncle Li Wang had wasted a lot of effort, and several times almost made Ning Dewu unable to step down with people.
Now, although Ji Linbing temporarily protected Suoya, he was also forced to set up a military order for Suoya in front of the generals of the Jin Dynasty.
Within half a year, Suoya must capture Yanlin County.
During this period, Suoya won Yanlin, then everything was happy, on the contrary, if Suoya did not make an inch of success in Yanlin in this half a year.
Well, even if Suoya can still get away with leaving the position of General Anbei, the master of this army can't be done, and he can't even stay in this Jin army, so he has to go back to the Western Zhou Dynasty and find a horn to hide for three years and five years.
……………
This is forcing himself to fight to the death with the Zhou army!
Suo Ya was not stupid, and naturally saw the sinister intentions of Ning Dewu's actions.
In this battle of the valley, the Yanlin Jin army showed good combat effectiveness, and in the case of almost the same number of troops, the Zhou army was twice in succession, and the second time was to defeat the reinforcements led by Yu Wen head-on.
You must know that although Yu Wen has a poor reputation in the entire Zhou army, after all, he is a general of the Western Frith Miscellaneous Ranks, and he has some real skills in his hands.
The 5,000 Zhou Army under his command, under the normal conditions of no disadvantage in troops, prepared in advance, no physical strength, and available morale, fought against the Jin army led by Yan Kui, but was defeated by his troops.
Although Yan Kui is suspected of relying on the advantages of the cavalry, it can also be seen that this Jin army is brave in battle, and it can be called the elite of the army, there is no doubt that the Yanlin Jin army is a hard bone to gnaw.
Ning Dewu racked his brains to force Suoya to take Yan Lin within half a year, just to deliberately see his jokes.
Now that the Jin and Zhou sides have torn their faces in Yanlin, they have a general understanding of each other's troops, and they can also figure out with their toes that in the face of the Zhou army with superior troops, the main general of the Jin army will definitely take a defensive position.
The Zhou army in the field can be defeated by the Jin army, and the siege war is fought in a siege war, and you can know the hardships when you think about it.
……………
Half?
It's not that Suo Ya is cowardly, he himself feels that unless he is given more troops, he really doesn't have the confidence to be able to take Yanlin in such a short period of time.
But obviously, the army of the Zhou army is not endless, and the 50,000 soldiers and horses in Suo Ya's hands before are already more than the few men and horses in the Western Zhou Dynasty.
Now the border between the two countries is full of flames, and the 100-mile defense line needs to be used everywhere, even if it is not fought, it is necessary to send troops to contain it, plus the new Beiling and Nanling two mansions also need to be heavily guarded, so the men and horses in Ji Linbing's hands are not more abundant than Peng Kuohai in General Pass.
Counting the defenders before Tuxian, Suo Ya still has more than 40,000 people in his hands, compared to the Jin army with 20,000 outcrops in Yanlin, there is still a great advantage in terms of strength.
Therefore, in the absence of major losses, the Shuai Tent will definitely not easily send additional troops and horses to Suoya.
But the key is not to increase troops, Suo Ya is really not sure that he will take Yanlin within half a year.
This is different from Ji Linbing's two months to take Beiling and Nanling's two mansions, before it was a blitzkrieg, the Northern Jin Dynasty border army was completely stunned by the raiding Ji Lin, and was led by the nose everywhere, plus Cai Hua's command failed, and frequent mistakes occurred, which led to the results of the Western Zhou Dynasty would be so brilliant.
But now it is different, the Yanlin Jin army has been stationed in Yanlin since the end of June, and since then it has been constantly building defense lines, preparing grain and grass, and placing ordnance, with sufficient preparation and high morale.
Under such circumstances, the 20,000 Jin troops were guarded by the camp, where was it easy to deal with.
Not to mention that Peng Kuohai built a hundred-mile defense line, and there were other troops of the Jin army near Yanlin, and in times of crisis, reinforcements would come to support and contain him at any time.
Ning Dewu seems to agree with Suo Ya to make meritorious contributions, but in fact, he dug a pit and pushed Suo Ya down, half a year later, if Suo Ya did not take Yanlin, the old mistake will be added to the new, the crime will be added to the first, and the party will be so pouted again, and General Anbei will be replaced.
And if Suo Ya can take Yanlin as scheduled, Ning Dewu will have no loss, at most it is a pity that he did not kill a general of the royalists.
……………
It is precisely because of this that Suo Ya is so angry, whether he succeeds or not, he is so passive, and no one can be aggrieved.
However, Suo Ya also knew that Ji Linbing was in distress, as mentioned earlier, Ji Linbing's position was too sensitive now, and it was not good to favor his own people too much, so he could only suffer a dumb loss under the persecution of Ning Dewu.
Alas, there are also difficulties in high heights............
The only thing Suo Ya is glad about now is that he had the foresight to lead people to take down the valley in advance, otherwise if the Jin army blocked the Pinzi defense line and the three battalions stood side by side, then he would really have no hope.
"Alas, the Jin army is working together, but our Great Zhou only thinks about killing colleagues and fighting for power and profit, and in the long run, the soldiers are cold, and the generals are in hardship, so don't you give up the good situation before."
Suo Ya sighed, feeling indignant and worried about the internal struggle for power in the Zhou army.
When the deputy general next to him heard this, he was afraid that this would reach the ears of the Ning brothers and cause trouble for Suo Ya, so he was busy making words and persuasions, but unexpectedly, Suo Ya sneered when he heard it and shouted loudly.
"I'm still afraid that the Ning family won't hear it, a group of dogs who only know how to drag their backs, why should Suo be afraid."
The deputy general was almost scared to death by Suo Ya's words, the Ning brothers are not mediocre lucky people who rely on the Empress Dowager Ning to ascend the throne, their own talents are also very powerful, otherwise they would not have climbed to the important position of the prime minister of the Western Zhou Dynasty and General Zuo, and established the first political faction of the Western Zhou Dynasty.
The power of the Hou Party in the Western Zhou Dynasty was very large, and as the son of Taizu and the uncle of the Emperor of Heaven, King Li Ji Linbing had hundreds of thousands of military power in his hands, and a large group of Ji Zhou loyal ministers behind him supported him, and he could only barely compete with the Hou Party in the court, and even in most cases was still at a disadvantage.
Although Suo Ya, the general of Anbei, has a poor status, he is still a lot worse than the Ning brothers, and if the Hou Party recklessly collects the price to clean him up, King Li may not be able to protect him, so the deputy general is really afraid when he sees Suo Ya talking so wildly.
Today's Suo Ya really can't provoke the back party.........
Seeing the appearance of the deputy general, Suo Ya didn't stimulate the other party anymore.
Although his personality is hot, he is not stupid, he knows how powerful the Ning family is, but this time he was really anxious by Ning Dewu, so he couldn't help but complain a few words, and now he vented twice, and slowly regained his composure.
