Chapter 18 Dinner in Bianjing City
"Give a seat." Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Zhao Gou and Li Bangyan, and ignored them.
He looked carefully at the defense map of Bianjing, and didn't want to miss the slightest opportunity, Bianjing City was strong, and it was definitely not comparable to the state capitals that were broken before.
In fact, he has not conquered any of the cities in Fuzhou until now, and he is luring the enemy out and defeating him. Although the defenders of Zhendingfu were defeated, in the face of the extremely terrifying city attack and defense battle, it was more appropriate for the 30,000 elite soldiers on hand to be used in the right place.
"General Xie." Zhao Gou and Li Bangyan were sitting precariously, waiting for Zong Wang to finish the business at hand.
The two of them looked around at the Golden Horde, which had a tiger skin on its main seat and spread it on a chair. According to legend, every Jin man would hunt a tiger alone as a rite of passage when he reached adulthood.
Of course, legends are just legends, in fact, the coming-of-age ceremony of the Jin Kingdom is a sheep ceremony.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at it for a while, and said to a Han man next to him: "Guo Wanhu, how about you say that we march into Bianliang from here?" This is the weakest point of the outer city's defenses. Chenzhou Gate in the southeast, the weakest defense, and next to it is the Cai River Water Gate, but unfortunately the weather is cold, and the moat has frozen, otherwise it is also an opportunity. ”
This Han Chinese was Guo Yaoshi, who surrendered to Jinting.
Guo Yaoshi, who was originally a Han of Liao, was a general of Liao, first served in Liao, and then surrendered to Song, served as the defender of Yanjing Mansion, spent tens of millions of dollars to establish the Yanyun garrison, and was taken by him to surrender to Jin.
He looked at the map, and it was the first time he had seen such a detailed map of Bianjing's defense.
I also admired Wanyan Zongwang's keen sense of smell, and the siege battle, or raid, or lasting, or luring the enemy out of the city. There are only these three things that can break the city.
But counting on the character of the Great Song Dynasty to coax the emperor, it is no longer difficult to go out of the city to fight, luring the enemy out of the city, under Bianjing City, it is the most difficult choice among the three.
And the protracted war, the Zongwang Department cannot do it, it is not that the Jin soldiers of the Zongwang Department are not good at protracted wars, but the soldiers of the Song Dynasty Qin Wang are coming, and the protracted war is not good for the Zongwang Department.
Moreover, weapons, grain and grass, horses, and morale were not enough to support Wanyan Zongwang to besiege the capital for a long time.
"If the handsome cave is watching the fire, it is far from me being able to put the beak, the Song people are cautious, and there are indeed not many opportunities to take advantage of here. I think we can launch a feint attack at the adjacent Dailoumen, and the Song people will inevitably mobilize the defenders of Chenzhoumen to support Dailoumen. Open the city gate, then two thousand iron floating Tu iron horse into the city, Bianjing can be broken. ”
Guo Yaoshi first boasted about Yan Zongwang, and then put forward his own reasonable suggestions, as a general, he can only show his value in order to live well.
"I got a military report the day before yesterday that Zonghan besieged Taiyuan City and broke through the city gate, but was driven out by the soldiers and civilians in the city. Thousands of elite gold soldiers also died. The hearts of the people of the Great Song Dynasty are acceptable, and they should not be underestimated. ”
"Of course, what Pharmacist Guo said is exactly what I want to say. The Jin Han army totaled 130,000 people, which was just the right choice for a feint. The momentum was huge, and the Song people panicked, so they would inevitably dispatch troops and send generals, just to select the people who were good at fighting in the Jin Han army, and attack the city and open the city gate. At that time, you can enter the city together. Wanyan Zongwang determined the main strategy of the battle, a surprise attack, and a sound attack from the east to the west.
He didn't really have much to do about the siege.
To deal with the Liao City, the best "ant attached" tactics are used! A hug up or a ladder, or a bamboo ladder or a cable can be swarmed up.
However, the Song Dynasty was rich and fruitful, far from being comparable to the Liao State, and the Song Dynasty did not have too many defense equipment in the city, and this kind of tactics was useless at all.
As for the various weapons and equipment in the Yanjing arsenal, the equipment of his people has been replaced!
The Jin people did not empty the Yanjing arsenal with fifty arrows, and one person was equipped with a new bow and arrow, replaced with a new stirrup, and even light horses such as kidnappers and horses, and there were thousands of people who obtained armor. All kinds of long and short soldiers have been changed.
Another important reason for the "unusable" tactics is that there are too few Han thief armies attached to the Jin soldiers.
When attacking Liao, the Jin soldiers went to expel nearly a million Liao ants to attack the city, and the city was not broken?
But the Song army went all the way south, and after looting for so long, they gathered a rabble of 130,000. If you want to take Bianjing, it is undoubtedly wishful thinking.
Wanyan Zongwang tilted his head and looked at Zhao Gou, and said, "You are King Kang Zhao Gou?" ”
"Exactly." Zhao Gou hurriedly replied, he really wanted to cover his ears with his hands, this battle plan and battle map were secrets among secrets at a glance, and they were heard by the two envoys of the Song Kingdom.
It seems that they are not ready to let them go back.
Wanyan Zongwang sighed and said to Guo Yaoshi: "You Song people are also strange, robbing them of cattle and sheep, grain, silkworms, iron, and salt, as long as you don't kill people, no one will rise up, but will obediently cooperate." Food is not valued as the most important thing. On the contrary, he values human life more than the sky, looting arbitrarily, and killing people? What is the rationale for this? ”
"There are also those who killed the prince in Liaomeng, and used their heads to intimidate the defenders in the city-state, all of whom opened the city and surrendered. In the Song Dynasty, on the contrary, killing the generals to intimidate will provoke the people of the city to defend the city to the death. The son of Wang Yu, the general of Taiyuan in the Great Song Dynasty, was captured by Zong Hanbu and threatened him to open the city gate with Wang Yu's son, but was killed by Wang Yu with an arrow. How weird? ”
"I think I know a lot about Central Plains culture, but I still can't solve my doubts. I don't know if Guo Wanhu can solve his doubts? ”
Guo Yaoshi is a Han but lives in Liaodi, and he had the same questions as Wanyan Zongwang before, it is easy to say if he doesn't kill people, and he will give what he wants. As long as there is a human life, it will inevitably make the Liao people plunder into great trouble.
The question that puzzled him for a long time was finally solved after he descended to Song.
Guo Yaoshi thought for a while and said, "Because the Song people are rich." They eat three meals a day. ”
Wanyan Zongwang was surprised, why is this the answer? Also Do Song people eat three meals a day?
"Three meals a day seems not unusual, but the Song people can eat all three meals, which represents the wealth of the Song people."
Guo Yaoshi continued to explain: "Whether it is the Liao people or the Jin people, they robbed their cattle, sheep, grain and other property, as long as they hide some other property from being discovered, tighten their belts, and buy grain from other places, they will survive in three or two years, but there are no cattle and sheep in our grassland, and the grain can't even survive the winter." It would freeze to death on the prairie back then. ”
"As for the matter of the Taiyuan guard, it can probably only be interpreted in terms of whether it can be killed or humiliated, and I don't know much about it."
Wanyan Zongwang looked at Pharmacist Guo with a surprised look in his eyes, this angle explained, it was the first time he heard it, because he was rich, he didn't care about money, but even more about life? Whether it is the Liao State, the Jin State, or the Mongolia State, who is not without food, cattle and sheep and waiting for death?
He looked at King Kang and said, "This King Kang? You people from the Central Plains? Is it true that everyone eats three meals a day? ”
Wanyan Zongwang was very surprised! He has a defense map of Bianjing, and naturally there are spies in the Great Song Dynasty. Such important information, but no one reported it!
The spies probably felt that some of the information about eating several meals a day could not be put on the table, and no one reported it.
Kang Wang Zhao Gou was stunned, this fell into his knowledge blind spot......
He is a prince, Zhong Ming eats, he can eat whenever he wants, and he has not paid attention to this issue. Why is this Wanyan Zongwang's focus so strange?
"What Pharmacist Guo said is good, the Song Kingdom does have three eclipses a day, the morning sun rises for breakfast, the sun sets for snacks, and the night work is dinner. This is three meals a day. However, in some barren places in the Great Song Dynasty, there are still two meals a day. However, there are not many such places, most of them are on the border and in bitter cold places. "Li Bangyan, as the scholar Zuocheng, naturally knows these little things.
However, is this a peace negotiation? Why discuss how many meals a day?
"The Central Plains is really rich."
When will the Central Plains be determined? Let the people of my country eat three times a day!
Liaodong is bitterly cold, Wanyan Zongwang is clear, how many Jin people are hungry, as long as it snows heavily, some people will starve to death and freeze to death. Three meals a day? It is rare for Jin Guo to have one meal a day in a disaster year, and even Jin Jun is not immune.
Wanyan Zongwang was confirmed, and the expression in his eyes became even more determined. Entering the Central Plains is bound to win!
Guo Yaoshi bowed down and said with full of energy: "Dashuai, after two days, the rear army of the autumn wind will return to the camp, and you can cross the river!" Bianjing is less than ten miles away from the Yellow River, and it takes less than half a day to get there. After crossing the river, he went straight to Bianjing, the tactics were correct, the sergeants were brave, and they might be able to have dinner in Bianjing. ”
"Why are Wanhu so confident?" Wanyan Zongwang also had a little joy on his face, but there was still some worry in his eyes. The Central Plains Dynasty is different from Liaomeng, and this siege still needs to be discussed. But his heart was already on fire.
Guo Yaoshi glanced at Zhao Gou and said: "Song has soldiers who can fight, there are also generals who can fight, and there are countless loyal people!" It's a pity that Song Guoxungui has already broken his guts!"
"This King Kang has been shaking his legs since he entered the big tent. Hearing us talk about siege tactics, the seats trembled so much that they all rattled. ”
"Pharmacist Guo! My Great Song Dynasty is not thin on you, and I promise you a high-ranking official in gold and silver, why are you treacherous? This Wanyan general, such a three-surnamed domestic slave, is overwhelmed! Naturally, you should not be gullible in what you say! Song and Jin have brotherly righteousness, and the alliance on the sea is like yesterday! Could it be that he, a barking man, could easily provoke it? Li Bangyan saw that Zhao Gou's legs were shaking, and he was also helpless, this old Zhao family made some cowardly straw bales.
Guo Yaoshi laughed out loud instead, pointing at Li Bangyan, the meaning of ridicule, not too obvious, he laughed for a while before saying: "Commander Wanyan Zongwang, it is precisely because you think that you Song violated the alliance on the sea first, took in the Dajin traitor Zhang Jue, and then killed a similar person to deceive him, so he wrote to the emperor and crusaded against the weak Song." You're here to talk to Zong Wang's marshal about the alliance at sea, are you sure you're here to negotiate? ”
"As for my three family slaves, Zhang Jue is my best friend, and the Song lord is afraid of gold like a tiger, and the first rat is at both ends. First wanted to keep Zhang Jue, and then regretted it, in my home, I searched for Zhang Jue and showed it to the public. But I can ask, did Lord Song ask me how I felt? Zhang Jue and I are both generals of the Liao State, and Song treats the generals like this? But where to stay for a long time? ”
"Good birds choose trees to perch, Song Ri and Dusk West Mountain, gold is like the sun in the sky, I know where to choose, three family slaves, I know that it is impossible to be reused. But I just want to survive! ”
Zhang Jue was a Liao general, voted for the Jin State, and took Pingzhou to the Song Dynasty, and the Song State accepted Zhang Jue's surrender, and was afraid of the Jin State, so he killed a fake Zhang Jue to fool people. If the matter only ends here, Pharmacist Guo has nothing to say, Jin is strong and Song is weak, and there is nothing to choose from.
But later, Jin Guo found out that Zhang Jue's body was fake, so he ordered Song Ting to kill Zhang Jue!
Li Bangyan led people to search Zhang Jue from Guo Yaoshi's house, and then showed it to the public in front of him. Guo Yaoshi also fought with Jin Guo for a few days before surrendering, and he felt that he had already given Song Guo a lot of face.
Li Bangyan personally supervised this matter, so he naturally knew everything from beginning to end, sighed, and had nothing to say.
At the beginning, he also wrote to Zhao Ji to protect Zhang Jue, Pingzhou Yingzhou is close to each other, as long as he guards Shanhaiguan, everything is worry-free.
It's a pity that Zhao Ji finally killed Zhang Jue and sent the head to Jinguo.
The operation was as fierce as a tiger, and the military generals were all cold.
Li Bangyan is not a loyal person, but with Zhao Ji as a waste emperor, he will occasionally be numb by Zhao Jixiu's scalp.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the two people arguing playfully, he was half of the Central Plains, this kind of scene was the first time I had seen it, a prince, a prime minister and a general quarrelling.
He has a little more confidence in attacking Bianjing, even if he can't beat it once, he will come back next time.
This King Kang is the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses in the world of the Song court, and in this way, the Song court will be finished sooner or later. Isn't that how the Liao Kingdom ended?
The Jin country whale swallowing the world is just around the corner, and the Central Plains will be fixed, so that all the Jin people can eat three meals a day. This is his most simple idea.
Emperor Shizongwu of the Han Dynasty once said: Since ancient times, those who have not heard of a surname is the king of the world!
In this world, virtuous people can covet artifacts, artifact emperors, and capable people live in it.
He waved his hand and said, "It's a guest from afar." My Jin people are not uncivilized, but also hospitable, two envoys, please rest for a few days, Jin people will be warmly hospitable, take it down first. ”
The two soldiers came in and pulled Zhao Gou and Li Bangyan up from their seats.
Li Bangyan struggled twice, and in the vicious eyes of Jin Bing, he no longer struggled, and asked loudly: "The matter of peace talks is the top priority, when will peace talks?" ”
"When the day after tomorrow breaks the beam!" Wanyan Zongwang's smile was the same as always, but in Li Bangyan's eyes, it was like a fierce beast that chose people to devour!
