In the fifty-fifth round, the pacification army gathered to discuss the Song Dynasty again

However, it was said that Pu Cha was ordered by Sticky Han to lead his troops to the east. He first conquered Shouyang County, and then drove his troops to the city of Pingding Army.

At this time, Zong Wang also led his troops to the meeting. The Pingding Army was a well-fortified fortress of the Song Army, and it was also a nail in the coffin between the Jin Army on the East and Hebei Roads. Therefore, Mu Han and Zong Wang are determined to win. However, in the offensive and defensive battles of the Pingding Army, the Jin Army paid a heavy price, with more than 10,000 casualties before and after, but finally captured the Pingding Military City.

At this point, the East and West have become one. The first goal of the Zongwang and Muhan Southern Expedition has been reached.

At the Pingding Army, Muhan and Zongwang met and held a military meeting attended by the main generals of the two route armies to discuss the next course of action.

At this meeting, Lou Room was the first to speak.

He said: "Now Hedong has obtained Taiyuan, and Hebei has been really determined. These two places were the leaders of Hedong and Hebei. Taking advantage of this situation, you can take two rivers first. Wait until the two rivers are established, and then make plans to take the east of the river, it is not too late at this time. Now, if you abandon the two rivers first and do not take them, and want to enter the army, you will first take Bianjing. If a situation arises against me, then the two rivers are not mine. In the past, the second prince also came to Bianjing City, and he couldn't take it, which is a very convincing proof."

Zong Wang listened, but he didn't have time to speak. Sticky Han suddenly got up when he heard this, took off the mink hat on his head with his hand, threw it to the ground, and said to the generals: "Bianjing is the foundation of the Southern Dynasty, I think that if you don't get Bianjing, it will be difficult to get the two rivers, and even if you get it, you can't keep it." If you get Bianjing, the two rivers will not be levied and will be determined by themselves. The main reason why the soldiers of the second prince of Xiangri went to the city of Tokyo was because my headquarters did not reach that place. If I am here, I will get it." After that, he stretched out his right hand, made the appearance of taking things, and said: "If I take Bianjing today, it will be like picking up things with my arms, and I can get it without much effort."

When Zong Wang heard this, he gladly praised it. The generals did not dare to stop it, and the plan for the southern expedition was thus decided.

At the beginning of November of the fourth year of Tianhui, the sticky army stayed in Taiyuan with silver skills, personally commanded the army, and went straight to Longde Mansion. He also sent Lou Chamber's headquarters from Fenzhou to the south through Pingyang, aiming directly at Bianjing.

The army of Sticky Han was like a storm and clouds along the way, and the momentum was like a bamboo, and it smoothly advanced to the Weisheng army. The Weisheng Army was also originally a fortress, and Song left a heavy garrison. However, when the Jin soldiers besieged Taiyuan, Sticky Han had broken through the Weisheng army several times, causing the Song army defending the city to be terrified. This time, when I heard that the sticky army was leading the army south, I was even more panicked and didn't know what to do.

Song Jiang thought about it again and again, and thought that it would be difficult to resist the enemy, so he "took thirty-six plans, and took it as the best policy". I haven't seen the shadow of the Jin army yet, and I have already fled. When the Sticky Han army arrived at the Weisheng army, the Weisheng army was almost an empty city, and not a single soldier of the Song people could be seen anymore.

Sticky Han defeated the army without a fight, and he was quite surprised by the cowardice of the Song generals, and he also had a fuller understanding.

Although he has superhuman courage and extraordinary wisdom, he has always been known in the army for his old man's seriousness and prudence, and he has never done anything blind and risky. This time, however, he made an unusual deployment of troops. He sent Salada to rush forward with light troops to seize the Taihang Tianjing Pass, and instructed him: "Along the way, if you encounter Song soldiers, you will avoid them without fighting." If possible, try to avoid contact with Song Bing. As long as the Tianjing Pass is captured, it will be the first contribution." He also sent Seri and Bolu Huo to lead their elite troops, and also avoided the Song army, and penetrated deep into the territory of Zezhou to respond to the solidarity with the army of Saratha.

What I want to say here is that although this Bolu Huo has the same name as the Bolu Huo who moved to Taizhou mentioned earlier, they are not the same person. After Saili, after Boluhuo was ordered to go, the sticky army sent an order to the Xi room and instructed him: "You can lead the men and horses of your headquarters to take Xiangyuan day and night, so as to plan for the army to attack Lund Mansion."

After the three groups of men and horses left, Mu Han led a large army and marched towards Lund Mansion.

When he arrived at Taipingyi, he received two good news. One is that Xi Mu captured Xiangyuan, and the other is that Sarada attacked and captured Tianjing Pass.

After hearing this, Mu Han said happily: "Xi Chamber's capture of Xiangyuan will make the Song army in Longde Mansion frightened. It is of great significance that Salada captured the Tianjing Pass."

It turns out that Tianjing Pass is the main peak of Taihang Mountain, and the situation is precipitous, and it is the north and south of Taihang. Because there is a spring in Guannan, it is called Tianjing Spring, so it is named, and it has always been a place for soldiers to fight. Tianjing Pass is forty-five miles south of Zezhou, and it is only a little more than a hundred miles away from the Yellow River. Occupying this pass, looking at the east, west, north and south, not only blocked the Song army's road to the north, but also cut off the Song army's difficult way to retreat, which can really be described as a wonderful move to win.

Muhan sent an urgent envoy to warn Salada and told him to do everything possible to guard the patio pass. On the one hand, he ordered Xi to leave a part of his troops to guard Xiangyuan, and personally led the rest of the troops to the south to capture Zezhou.

The deployment stopped, and Mu Han led his troops to continue south. Entering Lutai Mountain, he met the envoy sent by Li Ge, the general judge of the Longde Mansion.

Li Ge asked the envoy to express to Muhan that he was willing to surrender to the city. and is preparing the things of the army to meet them under the city.

After hearing this, Mu Han was overjoyed. However, when Sticky Han marched to the city of Lund, he saw a scene that surprised him greatly.

It turned out that although Li Ge had prepared the things for the army, he led the sheep with wine and transported them to the city. His actions angered the soldiers, and twenty or thirty men rushed out of the city gates, waving their swords at each other.

Li Ge was shocked when he saw it. It was too late, it was fast, and I saw the chaotic knives coming down, and in an instant, Li Ge's head was in a different place and fell in a pool of blood.

Seeing everything that happened with his own eyes, Mu Han couldn't help but be furious, and immediately gave the order to attack the city. The guards hurriedly pulled up the drawbridge, closed the city gate, climbed to the top of the city, and resisted it. After several days of siege, he finally breached the city and ordered the city to be slaughtered. The soldiers and civilians in the city fought hard in the streets, and the casualties were exhausted, and the prefect Zhang Youji was also captured by the Jinren.

The day after Stickhan stormed Lund Mansion, he received another good news from Lou Mur, saying that Pingyang had been taken.

It turns out that this Pingyang is an important town in the south of Hedong Road, and according to legend, Emperor Yao once built his capital here in ancient times. There is a mountain north of Pingyang called Huiniuling. The mountains are high and steep, and the terrain is very complex and dangerous. It is the key point to defend Binh Duong.

Lou Room marched to this point, and personally led the generals and more than 300 pro-troops to reconnoiter the terrain. When I came to the foot of Huiniuling, I looked up, but I saw that the mountain peaks were towering, high into the sky. When the generals saw it, they all looked at each other.

General Yelu Huaiyi said: "I have followed the general to fight for many years, and I was born and died, and I am not a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. But this time Niuling is really daunting, if our army wants to attack, the enemy soldiers are condescending, and the arrows and stones are added, where can our army still have the strength to fight back? Not for meatloaf, that is, for powder, in the face of such a difficult environment, there is nothing to do. ”

When the generals heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed. Lou Mu didn't dare to make rash moves, so he garrisoned at the foot of Huiniuling, sent rangers, and made feins everywhere, but it was just a bluff.

The Song general who defended Huiniuling was named Liu Wan, although he was extremely advantageous in time and place, but the people's hearts were shaken, which made this natural barrier lose its due military value.

It turned out that the government treasury was poor and the supply was difficult to continue. The soldiers defending Huiniuling were given only three liters of peas or aged wheat every day. The soldier said: "We are facing a very strong golden soldier, let us eat such things all day long, and drive us to fight to the death with the golden soldier, how can this be done?" ”

A few days later, the Song people saw that the Jin soldiers were gathering at the foot of the mountain, so they had no intention of holding on and dispersed, and Lou Room was able to return to Niuling without a fight. Looking down on Pingyang, it is already under control. So he didn't stop and marched to the city of Pingyang, but Liu Wan really abandoned the city and fled.

That night, Lou Room heard that there was a military rebellion in Jiangzhou, so he ordered the army to gallop in the starry night, and arrived at the city of Jiangzhou in one day and one night. The Jiangzhou rebellion has not yet been calmed down at this time, and the city is still in chaos.

Song Jiangzhou's name was Li Yuanru, and he heard that the golden soldiers were like ants, and they gathered under the city. I didn't think much about it at the moment, and only the word "go" flashed in my mind. Immediately ran to the west gate, opened the gate, and walked away. When Li Changyan heard that he had escaped, he did not hesitate to follow in his footsteps and slip away.

When Lou entered the city, the people were finished, and he received a warrant from Sticky Han, which read: "If you go to Zezhou, if you meet Saili, Boluhuo, and Xi Murojin, you should go with it." When Lou Mu saw this warrant, he didn't dare to slack off, and ordered the general to rest for a while, and then went straight to Zezhou.

Lou Mu marched to Zezhou and joined forces with Saili, Xi Muro, and Bolu Huo. In accordance with the deployment of Sticky Han, they marched together, and sent Tuhesu and Wolu to lead 500 elite cavalry as the lead to recruit the Song soldiers in Heyang.

At this time, Sa Thorn had already broken the Song army in front of the Confucius Temple. Tuhesu and Wolu troops arrived, and first occupied the Yellow River Jindu. More than 10,000 Song soldiers formed a formation against the water, and Lou Room led a large number of soldiers to follow and attack it. The Song army was squeezed into the water, and countless people died. The Heyang guards had nothing to do, so they surrendered the city.

Lou Room came to the edge of the Yellow River, and saw the turbid waves surging, overwhelming the sky and the earth, the sound was like thunder, thrilling, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really a danger set by heaven." "When I was looking for ships, I couldn't find even one, and it turned out that all the ships had been moved to the south bank by the Song people. Lou Mu was helpless, and immediately sent his son Wanyan Huonu to lead more than 300 cavalry up and down the river, looking for a place to cross.

Wanyan Huonu had just led her troops away, and Mu Han had also led her army to the bank of the Yellow River.

Night. Sticky Han and Lou Room immediately on the north bank of the Yellow River, looking south. But the lights on the south bank are brilliant and continuous, like the shape of a long snake, and it is difficult to see the end of things. Its majestic momentum makes people frightened when they see it.

"Now, the Yellow River is like a long dragon, lying in front of us. On the south bank of the Yellow River, there is a long dragon formed by soldiers. The deputy envoy of Xuanfu of the Song Dynasty, Zhi Yanzhi, led an army of 120,000 and deployed on the south bank of the Yellow River. In recent days, I heard that Li Hui led a thousand cavalry and came to reinforce him. With such a large number of soldiers, it is difficult to be sure of success if you want to force the Yellow River. With that, he shook his head again and again.

Lou Room said: "What the marshal is extremely worried about is that if our army wants to cross the river to fight, if the Song army takes advantage of my half-crossing and sends an army to attack it, our army will definitely be defeated. ”

Sticky Han said: "This is the first time I have seen such a majestic river in my life. When he met with the second prince in Bian, he never expected the Yellow River to be so dangerous. If you don't try to survive this natural danger, you will be liable for breaking the contract. If the second prince goes deep alone again, if there is an accident, how can I give an explanation to the saint and the people? ”

Lou Mu said: "The marshal does not need to hesitate, nor does he need to worry. Even if it is impregnable, it is necessary to think about the past. What's more, the soldiers of the Southern Dynasty, although numerous, seem to be a rabble, vulnerable to attack. The way of using soldiers, virtual and real, real and virtual. Virtuality and reality are combined, invincible. Today's plan is to lure the enemy with a false voice, so that the Song soldiers are restless day and night. It will be changed by suspicion, and it will collapse overnight. At that time, our army should take the opportunity to cross the river, and there will be no hindrance. ”

Sticky Han asked, "What is the general's plan, and please tell me." Lou Room said: "So so, so, so, what does the marshal think." Sticky Han listened, clapped his hands and praised: "Good plan, good plan." In a few days, our troops will be able to cross the river. ”

In the army, thousands of drums were made overnight, and they were lined up on the banks of the Yellow River. Thousands of strong soldiers were selected and replaced in shifts, beating drums non-stop. All night long, the sound shook the world, and even the sound of the surging waves of the Yellow River was drowned out by the sound of drums.

The drumming of the Jin people on the north bank was really earth-shattering, and the Song soldiers on the south bank were even more terrified when they heard it. The drums of the Jin people on the north bank kept beating day and night, and the Song soldiers on the south bank were also frightened day and night, and it was difficult to sleep and eat.

After two days and two nights, the Song soldiers didn't know how many men and horses the Jin people came, and finally they couldn't support it, and finally lost confidence, so they collapsed in a hurry. Song Jiang couldn't hold the bullet down, and ran with it. The rout of 120,000 troops caused even greater consternation. The Song generals don't know the details, and they are also rumors, and the grass and trees are all soldiers. Xu Gao's punishment was raised, and Xu Kang's armies were all defeated by the wind.

Wanyan was ordered by her father Lou to find a place to cross along the way.

He walked along the riverbank. When I went to Mengjin, I saw someone crossing the river from here. Then the army was led to help, and the army followed suit.

On the night, Lou Room camped on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the Song general Guo Jing led tens of thousands of troops to attack Lou Room Dazhai. Wanyan Huonu led the troops out of the camp, found Guo Jing's army, and led the crowd to fight from the side, killing into the Song army, clashes left and right, and covered up and killed. The Song army was in chaos, so they took the opportunity to break it. Wang Xiang, the governor of Song Xidao, and Yan Jin, the general of Heyang, heard that the Jin soldiers crossed the river, and they also led the troops to follow.

When Sticky Han heard that Lou Mu wanted to surprise Song Shouhe's army with the sound of drums, he even praised the clever plan. At that moment, Lou Mu stayed on the bank of the Yellow River to carry out his plan, and personally led his troops to take Huaizhou.

The general of Song Huaizhou is named Huo Anguo, and he was appointed as the governor of Huaizhou in the fourth year of Tianhui. Because of his conscientious efforts to repair the city defense, he was added to the position of a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. Later, because the Jin soldiers showed signs of invasion, in order to strengthen the defense of Lund Province, he was transferred to the prefect of Lund Province. Before the trip was made, the Jin soldiers had already moved south, and they were still ordered to stay in Huaizhou.

Sticky Han led his troops into the territory of Huaizhou and attacked everywhere. Then he besieged Huaizhou with heavy troops. Huo Anguo refused to fight in the city and spared no effort. Within a few days, reinforcements from Dingzhou and Fengzhou also arrived. Huo Anguo worked with him and defended each other.

In the leap November of this year, Huaizhou was finally captured by Sticky Han. The general Wang Mei threw himself to death, and the rest of the people were captured by Sticky Han. Sticky Han sat under the city gate, and people pushed Huo Anguo and others, a total of four columns. He also ordered the generals of the department to ask who the one who did not surrender was, and Huo Anguo said loudly: "The one who does not surrender to the thief is the minister Huo Anguo." "Ask the rest of the people again, Lin Yuan, the general judge of the state affairs of the Huiyou Pavilion, Zhang Pengnian, the commander of the soldiers and horses, the defense envoy of Jeju, Zhao Shining, Zhang Chen, Yu Qian, and the five generals of Ding and Feng, Shen Dun, Zhang Xingzhong, and the team generals, all said in unison: "We and others work together with Zhizhou to become one, and they refuse to surrender." ”

When Mu Han heard this, he was furious and scolded: "Since you refuse to surrender and want to be my enemy, then let you see the king of Hades." "All the people were led to death, and their faces did not change. When General Jin killed the fourteenth man, his arms trembled and he could not raise his sword. Sticky was rare, and he was also moved by it, so he ordered the rest of the people to be pardoned and let go. Huo Anguo's family was harmed, and no one was left.
