Chapter 502: Northern Expedition
The Khitan people in Liaodong have been suffering for a long time, Yelu Bufan has a clear identity, and the Khitan people are numerous, and in just ten days, the rebel army has reached nearly 200,000.
Yelu Yu did not get carried away, and he began to select elite soldiers, divide the team, and regulate this rabble.
The team of 100 people is a team, there is a captain and deputy squad leader, 1,000 people are a squadron, there is a squadron leader, 10,000 people are a brigade, and there is a captain and deputy captain, and each team must resolutely obey the leadership of the captain.
He organized his ranks into three armies.
In battle, the leader of the charge was the Wansheng Army, which selected brave and courageous men. The squad leader of the army is the most brave person in the team, and the squadron leader and the captain are all people sent by the autonomous region to assist him.
Wansheng's army totaled 50,000 people, and they fought mainly and had strict discipline requirements. Fortunately, the Khitan people are already fierce and bow down to those they respect, so the Wansheng Army is a weapon to destroy the city.
Under the Wansheng Army is the Baisheng Army, a total of 100,000 people, all of whom are young and strong, and they are the second-echelon combat team. When fighting a tough battle, the Wansheng army took the lead in the charge, and they assisted. In battles of a general nature, they charged like a charge.
The rest are organized into a baggage army, most of them are old and young, and they are mainly engaged in logistics work. Transporting grain and grass, digging trenches, making and repairing siege equipment, transporting stones from trebuchets, etc., is also a lot of work, and it is also very important.
He himself is under the pseudonym Yu Dugu, and he proclaimed himself the commander of the soldiers and horses, commanding all the soldiers and horses.
It's not that Yelu Yu has seized power, but he is the only one who has the ability to do so, so he should not give in.
That's a very polite one.
One general is incompetent, tired of the three armies, change to a weak person, a good beginning cannot be exchanged for a good ending, the task carefully arranged by Song Jiang is unfinished, all these years of hard work have been wasted, and the heads of many Khitan people have also been white.
The people sent by the autonomous region can be defeated by one enemy and ten, and they are all generals, and if they are commanders, they are not satisfactory, and he recommends himself as commanders, and no one is unconvinced.
Yelu Yujian was once a Khitan general, and he was about to be beheaded by Emperor Tianzuo for some reason, and he had to reduce his gold. Later, as the general of the Jin State, he led the army to destroy the Liao, and won many victories, and even the emperor of the Jin State was amazed that the most powerful general of the Jin State was actually in the Liao State. Now he was ordered to plan the uprising of the Khitans in Liaodong, whether it was hidden or uprising, he did it perfectly.
His experience is his capital.
The only regret is that he can't show his real name, he is a Khitan traitor, and if he is known by the Khitans, he will be born.
"Your Majesty, the minister is puzzled, now General Zongbi is already on the way to rebel, and it seems that changing the commander halfway is not good for the army. In His Majesty's early years, he fought with the emperor in the south and the north, and the pros and cons should be clearer than Weichen, why did he make this decision? ”
"Wushu is violent by nature, thunder and thunder at every turn, the rebellious people in Liaodong should be both rigid and soft, exterminate and pacify with both hands, and it will be counterproductive to kill too much to cause a rebellion in the entire Khitan tribe."
Wu Qimai glanced at Wan Yanchang who was incoming, and said: "Yinshu is a veteran, he is old and serious, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and it is most suitable for him to go to Liaodong." The vultures are strong, and he has to prevent others from coveting my dynasty and robbing while he is hot! ”
"Your Majesty means ••••••"
Wan Yanchang thought for a while and said, "Song Jiang will take advantage of the chaos to get a piece of the pie?" ”
"Who knows? This person never follows the rules in doing things, and the trick falls out, if he inserts a bar, my Dajin will face the enemy on three sides, so I have to guard against it! ”
Wu Qimai said worriedly: "I have ordered the southern part of the border to be strictly guarded, especially near Yuguan, but I still feel uneasy in my heart. Therefore, let Wushu come back and stare at the autonomous region, he and the autonomous region will play against him, without encouragement, it is all murderous. ”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Wanyan Changshun praised the emperor and said: "The most important thing in this battle is to quickly solve Yelu Dashi, otherwise it may be more troublesome to let the two Khitans meet." And if we win quickly, it will be too late for Song Jiang to get the news. ”
"I have given Zong Han more troops, and I have ordered him to destroy Yelu Dashi." 400
Wu Qimai sighed: "It's a pity, my big gold is not what it used to be, if it was a few years ago, a little Khitan dog, why worry about it!" This is all thanks to Song Jiang, we have to guard against it! ”
Once bitten by a snake, ten years afraid of grass rope.
The monarch and the minister were silent for a long time, not knowing what they were thinking.
The Military Aircraft Department drew up a plan for the Northern Expedition.
The soldiers of the autonomous region were divided into two routes, one of which had already set off along the waterway, and Lu Junyi led 50,000 cavalry to support Yelu Yujian. Now that the war is in full swing, it is necessary to win the battle of Liaodong and echo the contingent of the autonomous region in the middle road.
On the second road, Song Jiang personally took command, led 150,000 cavalry from Yuguan to send troops, and went straight to the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom.
The 200,000-strong army of the Northern Expedition will inevitably be empty inside the autonomous region, and at this time it is most afraid of a fire in the backyard, so after discussion by the Military Aircraft Department, strict arrangements have been made.
The Tangut people love to make small moves, and the northern expedition of the army will ask the Tangut people for help, and the Tangut people are also willing to take advantage of the fire to rob, so this road must be strictly guarded against. This task was given to the Quduan, Zhejia, Planter, and Yao families, focusing on defense. However, Zhe Yanwen insisted on accompanying the army to the Northern Expedition, and Song Jiang transferred him to the army. In fact, discerning people know that this is the Zhe family expressing their determination and taking their son as a hostage, so that Song Jiang can rest assured of the Northern Expedition.
Henan's team and the eight-character army strictly guarded against the sneak attack of the Jianyan Dynasty, and if the Jianyan Dynasty had a storm, they would attack head-on. At the same time, Yu Daoan was ordered to reveal his identity at a critical moment, so that the Dongting Righteous Army could attack the city and restrain the establishment of the Yan Dynasty. The navy also made constant patrols along the Yellow River and did not allow any hostile forces to enter the autonomous region.
Yue Fei, the vanguard of the autonomous region, took the lead in Yuguan, and when Song Jiang led the army to Yuguan, Yue Fei immediately came to report that the nearby Jin soldiers had increased their strength and had a tight defense, and the sneak attack was afraid that it would fail.
Song Jiang smiled: "Who said that there was a sneak attack?" We swaggered out to fight this time, and the real knives and guns put Jin Kou down, so that their children and grandchildren would be afraid of my Great Song! After passing the order, the three pioneers attacked at the same time, smashing the nearby altars and jars first, and the soldiers pointed directly at Dading Mansion! ”
Shortly after the Chinese army left Yuguan, a messenger hurriedly arrived, saying that there was an urgent report from the autonomous region. Song Jiang opened it and saw that it had nothing to do with the conquest, saying that Zhao Gou wanted to make the crown prince, and Zhao Chen, the son of Zhao Huan, had the closest bloodline and was the best candidate. Zhao Gou sent Zhao Huan to the autonomous region to bring his son to Beijing, and he has now set off.
Song Jiang handed the letter to Wen Huanzhang and Xu Guanzhong next to him, knowing in his heart that Zhao Chen was going to be more and more auspicious, and it seemed that Zhao Huan's father and son were going to be tragic.
Xu Guanzhong said: "The East Window Incident happened, and the drama of fratricide is about to be staged!" ”
Wen Huanzhang said: "Zhao Huan is too anxious, this matter has to be rejected at least dozens of times before he can accept it, otherwise his ugly face will not be peeped through!" ”
Xu Guanzhong said: "Zhao Huan is anxious for quick success and short-sightedness, how could he think that this is a trap." Although Zhao Gou has no heirs, he is young and strong, and it is possible to give birth to ten or eight. Although he can't do anything, it's just a rumor, Zhao Gou did this, compared to admitting that he couldn't do it himself. If he hadn't heard about his son's death, he wouldn't have even wanted the king's face. ”
Wen Huanzhang said: "This is a good thing for us, the more fierce the Zhao family is, the safer our Northern Expedition will be!" ”
Song Jiang sighed: "I don't know if Zhao Ji will be more sad or disappointed after he knows?" ”
Yue Fei, Dong Ping, and Yelu Xiaoshi, the three blood-drenched pioneers who had stabbed the hearts of the Jin people, once again sacrificed their swords.
This war is different from the last time, the last time it was pure destruction, burning and killing. This is a pure occupation, in other words, from now on, this is the territory of the autonomous region.
The three pioneers were familiar with the road, the three sharp swords were unstoppable, and all the golden soldiers in each stronghold along the way were eradicated, and they went straight to the nearest three small cities.
The city walls of the city of Jin are low, they are all made of earth, and they are not strong, although the defense of the city head is decent, but it can't withstand a burst of bombardment. The artillery fire stopped, the soldiers of the autonomous region arrived under the city wall early, several rows of soldiers covered with crossbows, and the rest set up ladders and went up to the city wall. In less than a meal, three small cities were taken.
This Northern Expedition was prudent, advancing layer by layer, step by step, and the forward troops occupied the city and waited for the Chinese army, and then received the order.
The Jin State is in flames of war on the third road, and it is impossible to concentrate all the forces to deal with the autonomous region, as long as it is safe and does not give him a chance to break through, the Jin people will be defeated.
In order to incorporate the northern land into the territory of the autonomous region, the first task is to secure the people in the occupied areas.
After the team entered the city, it was not polite for anyone to resist, and they did not commit any offense against the unarmed people. Then eradicate the bullies and rich tycoons, and also send food to the common people door to door, telling them that in the future, whether they are Han Chinese, Khitans or Jurchens, as long as they keep to themselves, they will be the people of the autonomous region, but for those who dare to hide gold soldiers, they will be directly dealt with by military law.
