Chapter 268 Three Scholars and Two Peach Are as Stable as a Mountain

The name of Qin Dashi, the "Three No Wars", spread throughout the Great Song Dynasty with the report of this matter after the war.

This is also the way of the art of war: the enemy situation is strange and cannot be hastily fought, the enemy is bent on engaging in battle, and it is not necessary to fight with our army when its goal is achieved.

Jin soldiers provoked outside the city for a long time, and saw that the city was always unmoved, not even a sound, they did not have a clairvoyant mirror, and they could not see the situation in the city really, if it were not for the Song army moving around, it would be impossible to think that the wooden clay sculptures standing on the top of the city.

They failed to achieve their goal, and seeing that the time was noon, although they were unwilling, they could only temporarily collect troops and set up camp and bury the pot to cook.

Qin Dashi squinted his eyes and looked at the enemy camp for a while, this camp was very sloppy, not so much a camp, but a pile of rags rolled up into a tent with a circle of branches inserted outside, those people who were coerced didn't even have a tent of rags, so they scattered in front of the two armies, sitting or lying down without military discipline at all. Luo Anqiong was greedy again, such a camp could not withstand his assault at all, but thinking of Qin Dashi's refusal to fight, he was too lazy to touch this cold face, so he could only force the desire in his heart and twist his head to the other side.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Dashi turned around and asked, "Is there a catapult in Qinglong Castle?" ”

Because of the artillery, catapults, which were important instruments for both attack and defense in the past, were no longer so important to the Song Kingdom, so Qin Dashi almost ignored them, but he firmly remembered that there were still a few catapults. When he got an affirmative answer, Qin Dashi nodded and sniffed hard, because it was a northwest wind, so he could smell the smell from the Jinren camp, which was the fragrance of bad rice, although it smelled no different from good rice, but in fact, the taste was extremely poor. And except for the smell of rice, there is no slightest smell of meat, which proves that the food of this Jinren army is really not good.

"Carry all those trebuchets up to the city, and come and shout for me with fifty loud voices." Qin Dashi said calmly.

The Jin people tossed all morning, but the Song people did not react in the slightest, which made them very frustrated, they knew their own task, and attracted the Song people to attack, they desperately fled, and then they could go home and continue farming. But the Song people are not fooled, which means that they must stay in front of the two dangerous armies for half a day, if the Song people are still not fooled in the afternoon, then they may have to stay up until tomorrow.

They didn't know that the Jin general Irabuha had decided that if the Song army was still not fooled and left the city, they would drive these people to attack the city that night, and in Irabuha's opinion, if all these people were killed in battle, they could almost consume the terrible cannons of the Song Kingdom, and their corpses could also be used to fill the trenches and pave the city walls.

For Irabuha, these people are mere consumables, and it is better to keep them and waste food, rather than to use them as death. In order for them to have the strength to attack the city at night, this lunch and dinner could not be saved, anyway, it was only two.

However, at this moment, there was a different city on the wall of Qinglong Fort, and dozens of Song soldiers came to the west city and began to shout loudly. Because it was a headwind, their shouts did not spread far, and the Jin people only faintly heard them.

"What are the Song people shouting?" A golden soldier asked his companion.

"I can't hear clearly...... These Song dogs, it is rumored that they have duck eggs to eat every day, and there is a meal of braised pork every seven days, why are they still so weak when they shout? Another Jin Bing said.

"This is not a rumor, but I have seen it myself, I was fortunate to go to the Song Kingdom with a rich merchant, and I went to Xuzhou to see the food and clothing of the Song people with my own eyes...... Alas, if it weren't for the old lady at home, how would I be willing to go back to the Jin Kingdom, I had already found a way to survive in the Song Kingdom. The other person sighed and said, "What did Hugh say about the golden dog Song Gou, a hundred years ago, we were all Song people." ”

"It's all silent, I can hear it, as if it was saying something 'giving meat'?" Another golden humanity.

Everyone held their breath, and finally the wind was a little lighter, and they heard the voice from the other side of the city: "The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty gave the people of the world meat, and all my people of the Great Song Dynasty have it, so come and get it!" ”

This shout was clueless, and the Jin people felt incomprehensible, and at this moment, they saw a big flag rising from Qinglong Castle, and then several black dots were thrown out of the city. The black dots were thrown not far away, and they threw out more than two hundred steps, less than a mile, and after a while, about the city was more correct again, and threw a few black dots again, this time much farther, nearly two miles, and fell violently between the two armies, breaking into countless pieces.

"What's that?" Jin Renqi said.

They were arrested temporarily, there was no military discipline originally, as long as they didn't break up, and the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom behind them didn't care, so two of them boldly touched forward, and when they were a hundred steps away, both of them smelled a fragrance and looked at each other in surprise.

"Meat!" Both of them screamed and rushed forward.

No wonder they are like this, when they are common people in the country of Jin, they don't want to say that they eat meat, they eat food, and they only have one meal a day. What was thrown out of Qinglong Fort was a clay pot, which was filled with canned braised pork, which fell to the ground and was broken, because it was added with a lot of Nanyang spices, although it was far away, the fragrance still came to the nose, and it was an incomparable temptation for the golden people who may not know the taste of meat for more than a few years or even a few years.

The two of them rushed, and the Jin people behind followed them, and the clay pots were thrown out of the city one after another, and in this distance, the voice of Song Jun's shouting was clearly audible: "The Son of Heaven of the Great Song Dynasty gives the people of the world meat, and the eaters are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

The people of the Jin country fought for meat in the battle station, where can they care about what the city shouts, but the generals of the Jin country behind them are not, coercing these many people to come, originally a little hesitant in their hearts, but now seeing that these people are out of control for meat, they just want to order the Jin soldiers to stop it, but they can hear such shouts.

"Come back, order them to come back, if they don't come back, they will be dealt with by military law!" Then General Jin ordered.

Some soldiers of the Jin State went up and beat the people who rushed to stuff the oily meat into their mouths with their weapons, but although the soldiers of the Jin State could barely wrap their stomachs, they could be the same as the people, and the meat was not often eaten. The people did not do anything, and immediately became a mess, and the clay pots that were constantly thrown in the city made this dispute impossible to settle at all.

What started out as a sporadic conflict soon turned into a killing of Chiguoguo as more and more civilians and soldiers joined the meat grabs. A Jin country people only grabbed a piece of meat, before he could stuff it into his mouth, he was stabbed to death by his companion, the companion smiled strangely and sent the meat into his mouth, still tasting the taste of the braised pork of the Song Kingdom, his chest hurt, and he saw the tip of a spear through his chest.

This chaos could not be suppressed as soon as it was generated, and people's most primitive appetite was aroused by the oily braised pork, and not a single soldier of the Song army left the city, and the Jin soldiers were already in chaos. The generals of the Jin State could still control themselves, but they could not control their subordinates, and soon, the red-eyed people and soldiers turned the fight from fighting for meat to pure mutual hatred, and the chaotic fighting spread to the entire front of the Jin army.

Above the head of Qinglong Castle, Luo Anqiong was stunned and watched the tragic battle under the city. He swallowed his Adam's apple and looked at Qin Dashi, who was still that honest appearance, felt him look over, and smiled at him. This smile only made Luo Anqiong take two steps back, eager to get farther away from Qin Dashi.

He is not afraid of fighting in front of the two armies, and he is not afraid of bloody rain and bloody wind, but with dozens of cans of braised pork, tens of thousands of enemy troops will kill each other, how can he not be afraid!

This is Qin Dashi's second nickname after the "Three Non-War Generals": "Canned Human Flesh".

However, the chaos of the Jin soldiers did not last long, and after the initial tyranny was revealed, both the generals and soldiers of the Jin Kingdom reacted, and the pitiful courage of the people who were brought in to seize food immediately dissipated when they were faced with soldiers who were disciplined rather than fighting on their own. Half an hour later, the Jin people pulled out the camp and began to retreat, leaving only a few hundred corpses in front of the original camp.

Some of them were killed in the chaos, and some were executed afterwards.

Qin Dashi breathed a sigh of relief, although the two armies did not take over in the morning, the battle of will and wisdom between the main generals had already begun.

He still had one more question unanswered, why did the Jin people want to lure him out of the city, even if it was just to lure his cavalry out of the city? Could it be that the Jin people are really so confident that they can defeat him in the field?

Although his troops in Qinglong Fort are not many, less than 10,000 people, when it comes to morale and the quality of the soldiers, the Jin soldiers can't catch up with the guards. The generals of the Jin army are not fools, they should know this, unless they still have a large number of men and horses in ambush behind, it is impossible to inflict heavy damage on the guards.

Qin Dashi is not an immortal, so he can't guess what ambush the Jin people have, but he only knows one thing, that is, let you change in a thousand ways, I can only defend and not attack. With this point, it is impossible for the Jin people to use their ever-changing tactics to lure the enemy.

This is the third nickname that Qin Dashi got today: "Fudo Taishan Stone".

Just in front of Qinglong Fort, when the Guards and Jin Bing were fighting an unprecedented strange confrontation, in Lin'an City, Zhao and Ju held their chins and looked at the military ministers of the Military Counselor's Office.

He was somewhat disappointed that this new military institution, built according to the staff system of later generations, appeared clumsy and disorderly when it first encountered war. Zhao Heju himself understands that he is not a person who knows soldiers, especially with the development of the war, his two words on paper, teaching the teenagers theory classes is still difficult, and when he really faces the war, he is far inferior to these men who fought on the battlefield, and even compared to his student Li Ye, who has been on the battlefield. The establishment of this military counsellor's office was to some extent to make up for his shortcomings in this regard, but the first strategic arrangement drawn up by the military counsellor's office showed a huge loophole, and it only considered the division of troops between Menghu and the Jin people, but did not consider the fact that Menghu and the Jin people joined forces to attack Xuzhou.

It wasn't enough to make a difference, but it was enough to turn him from a complete victory to a pyrrhic one.

Cui He and Ge Hong both knew something about the military, and they both realized the seriousness of the problem, and their faces were gloomy, and they both looked at the huge military map hanging on the wall repeatedly, checking the deployment of their own troops, and discussing how to transfer troops to reinforce Xuzhou.

If you just face Jin Guo alone, you naturally don't need reinforcements, but Menghu plays this hand, which makes people a little doubtful that Xuzhou can hold on, and reinforcements are necessary. But this has a second problem, if the enemy uses the Jin soldiers as the main troops to attack the city, and Menghu as a surprise soldier to cut off reinforcements, the reinforcements are not in danger before entering Xuzhou, and they don't know when and where they will meet Menghu, if they meet in the field, whether they can break through Menghu, who comes and goes like a wolf, no one is sure.

Zhen Dexiu of the Chuzhou Military Region is the most recent, but although he has a large number of troops, his combat power is not strong, especially in the past few years, he has lived a peaceful life, only did some work to catch rabbits during the Taizhuang War, lack of combat experience, Zhen Dexiu himself is not good at martial arts, if there is a mistake, but the last barrier in front of the Yangtze River disappears.

Transferred to the loyal army, the situation of the loyal army is only slightly better than that of the Chuzhou Military Region, although it is claimed to be 300,000, in fact, there are less than 100,000 combat effectiveness, and it is okay to confront Shi Tianze while guarding the famous village, if it is transferred back, Shi Tianze took the opportunity to follow south, and was intercepted by Menghu on the way, then this army that has been crisscrossing Jingdong for many years is afraid that it will become a historical relic.

Needless to say, the Lin'an Military Region was a general reserve, and it was dispatched only as a last resort, and it was impossible to use it unless Menghu hit the Yangtze River.

The Jingxiang Military Region has combat power and spare strength, but what is worrying is that the road is too far, and the most correct way for it at this time is not to aid Xuzhou, but to take the opportunity to cross the Qinling Mountains, attack Nanyang, force Luoyang, and threaten Bianliang.

The Hanzhong Military Region is too far away, and since the Jin State is in collusion with Menghu, it is difficult to guarantee that the Xia State has not intervened, and with the relationship between the Xia State and the Jin State, it is very likely that the Xia State will take the opportunity to go south to spy on Hanzhong and Shu, so the Hanzhong Military Region will face the threat of the Jin State and the Xia State, and can only rely on the geographical advantage to defend it.

Zhao Heju looked at it, and when he was about to speak, Li Ye suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the ministers have a plan!" ”

Just now, Li Ye, Li Yunrui, Meng Hui, Hu Shida, and Li Yilao got together to discuss for a while, and now they finally came up with the results. Zhao Heju motioned for him to speak out, and the generals in the court also looked at this kid with jealousy and envy, after all, this kid had set up a rare martial honor in the country, and now he was constantly thinking and scheming.

"This is what Jingwen came up with." Li Ye said a word, glanced at Zhao Heju, Zhao Youju signaled or he said, he pointed to Lin'an and said: "Now we are not without soldiers, the key is time, whether it is to transfer the soldiers of the Jingxiang Military Region or the Lianghuai Military Region, it will take time." The ministers and other ministers entrusted the counselors of the Counsellor's Office to calculate that the shortest time required for the transfer of troops was here. ”

The place he was referring to was the Daimyo's Mansion.

When it comes to distance and proximity, the Daimyo's Mansion is the farthest away from Hanzhong, and from this transfer of loyal and righteous troops, the news will only reach faster than Hanzhong. If it weren't for Li Ye's great achievements, he was afraid that he would be reprimanded immediately, but Zhao Youju raised his eyebrows and urged lightly: "Go on." ”

"Take the train from Lin'an to Huating, and then take the fastest steam ship from Huating to Hebei East Road, where you can go ashore to change horses, and after three days and nights, Your Majesty's imperial decree can reach the Daimyo's Mansion. Your Majesty does not need to transfer the loyal rebels, but only the 3,000 veterans of the Guards and the 6,000 loyal guards who were secretly transported to the Daimyo some time ago to return for reinforcement. Li Ye pointed to Yanggu in the southeast of the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Heju understood what he meant, the three thousand guards and the six thousand loyal guards, especially the three thousand guards, were the most elite troops who had returned to the country to redress and reorganize, and they were originally left in Yanggu to give Menghu a "surprise", but now they can only be used.

"The ministers have calculated, if they send an envoy now, these 9,000 people will be able to reach Xuzhou in seven days." Li Ye added.

"Seven Days ......"

Zhao and Ju clasped their hands, their faces were calm, this time is not long, seven days, although these 9,000 people are not much, but the 3,000 guards after training and changing clothes are the most powerful army in this era, and they can use it for 30,000 or even more people when defending the city.

"Li Ye, I ordered you to be the envoy of Qin, go to Huating immediately, and transfer any of the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau...... No, in case we see each other, transfer two clippers to Hebei East Road. Zhao Youju thought of this and ordered.

"Yes!"

"Meng Hui, I ordered you to be the envoy of Qin, go to Xiangyang immediately, spread my will, and immediately go north to Nanyang, and you will stay in the army to serve."

"Yes!"

"Hu Shida, I ordered you to go to Chuzhou as an envoy, so that Zhendexiu could hold Huaixi and take Xuzhou, and not act rashly."

"Yes!"

With Zhao Heju's order, Li Ye, Meng Heng, and Hu Shida, who received the order, all danced with their eyebrows, and only Li Yunrui was a little stupid.

The two major staff leaders of the Guards around him, he has never personally commanded the battle, which is really his hate.

Note 1: In the historical facts, in the battle between the Mongols and the Southern Song Dynasty to destroy Jin, both Menghu and Jin were extremely short of food and had cannibalism. After the city was breached, the Southern Song army killed all the Jin people involved in cannibalism, and then Qiu left the city without any crime.
