In the forty-ninth round, he schemed and defeated Song Yuan

Back in Xijing Datong, Wanyan Xiyin immediately began to deploy the operation. At that time, the number of Jin soldiers who stayed in Datong was not large. Wanyan Xiyin went to Jin Taizong Wu to beg for money, hoping to recruit troops from other sources and transfer them to Datong for emergency use. After Jin Taizong Wu Qimai learned of Yan Xiyin's intentions, he smiled and said: "I am too far away from Datong, otherwise, I will have to make up for this excitement planned by Yan Xiyin." ”

Within a few days, Datong was already full of elite soldiers, with more than 10,000 people. Wanyan Xiyin smiled: "With these elite soldiers, it is enough." ”

The next day, Wanyan Xiyin began to act. He laid out more than 10,000 elite horsemen, stretching for thousands of miles from end to end. In other words, these soldiers were deployed on the border line of the Four Armies and Eight Pavilions close to the Jin side, and Wanyan Xiyin gave them a wonderful name, called "Hunting Operation".

Under the order of Wanyan Xiyin, the "hunting operation" kicked off its prelude. A long horizontal formation of more than 10,000 elite horsemen, like an endless row of waves, marched in parallel and pushed westward. For a while, people shouted and horses roared, and the mountain stream shook. The beasts that were hidden in the dense forests of the mountains and the deep grasses were driven out together, panicked, and galloped westward. There are also some animals that are dazed by fright, and plan to flee east through the crowd. Still, they were driven back. That is to say, they can only be allowed to go west, but they are not allowed to go east.

It's called hunting, but the behavior of these powerful hunters is a bit strange and incomprehensible. Though they have bows and arrows in their hands, they do not trigger them, and though they hold spears in their hands, they hold them but do not pierce them. Their task seems to be to simply drive tigers, leopards, boars, antelopes and other wild animals out of the forest, and then drive them westward and then westward, perhaps as an artificial act of mass migration.

Gradually, those Xia soldiers who stayed in the land of the Four Armies and Eight Halls also appeared in front of and behind Jin Ren. When the Jin people saw this, they greeted them warmly, and sincerely called them to join in the hunt. The Western Xia soldiers were quite stunned at first, but later saw that the Jin people had no malicious intentions, so they consciously followed suit.

This large-scale hunting operation lasted for six or seven days, and advanced to the westernmost line of the land of the four armies and eight pavilions, and then stopped, and set up camp on the border line as a plan for a long stop. It was impossible for the troops of Western Xia to return to the place where they were originally stationed, so they had to withdraw to the territory of Western Xia. At this point, the Tangut people understood the true intention of the Jin people's "hunting operation", and hurriedly sent people to ask Jin for peace. As a result, the land of the four armies and eight pavilions was taken by the Jin people and taken it for themselves.

In order to express his respect to the Jin people, Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, continued to send troops to attack the Song Dynasty. Sent troops into the Jingyuan Road of the Song Dynasty, and the Northern Song Dynasty Shuai Si transferred and commanded Li Zhen to defend the army, and Qu Duan, the third general of the Jingyuan Road Army, was also being dispatched. Li Zhen garrisoned Fort Berlin and planned to fortify it to block the Xia army. However, because the soldiers sent out to reconnoiter the enemy's situation were confused by the superficial phenomena of the Western Xia soldiers and provided wrong information, they also made corresponding wrong judgments and deployments. It was taken by the Western Xia soldiers and was defeated and defeated. Fortunately, Qu Duan was able to adapt to the enemy, defeated him, and turned the tide of the battle.

Shortly thereafter, the Western Xia soldiers entered the army again, and successively captured Xi'an Prefecture, Huaide Army and other places, and the soldiers pointed out, directly threatening the safety of the Zhenrong army. At that time, the Zhenrong army had no defenders, and the envoy Xi Gong strongly recommended him to be the commander of the Zhenrong army and the commander of the economic strategy department because of Quduan's outstanding performance in the battle of Fort Berlin. Due to Quduan's strong defense, this was able to contain the offensive momentum of the Tanguts.

In November of that year, Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, organized and launched one of the largest attacks. He sent the crown prince to lead a heavy army to besiege the Huaide army (that is, Pingxia City), which stretched for several miles, and the horns were earth-shattering, day and night. Although Liu Quan, the commander of Song Huaide's army, held on, although he took the initiative many times and repelled the continuous attacks of the Western Xia soldiers, he never broke through and crushed the siege of the Western Xia soldiers. Later, due to the exhaustion of arrows, it was difficult to hold on, and Du Yishi burned the treasury and led the crowd to break through. But because they were outnumbered, they were defeated. Du Yishi moved his family ****, Liu Quan was captured by the enemy and died unyieldingly.

In December of this year, Li Qianshun sent troops from Tiandu Village to besiege Lanzhou, besieging it for five days and five nights, but because the city of Lanzhou was strong, it was not broken. Then he moved his troops to Tongchuan and Yuanzi Forts, plundered them on a large scale, and returned with a full load. The Jin people also redrew the border with the Western Xia after breaking through the Song capital Bianliang and capturing the Song Huizong and Song Qinzong after the two emperors returned to the north.

From the east of Luoyang ditch on Linfu Road to the west bank of the Yellow River; Warm Spring Fort of the Suide Army in the Western Calendar, Mizhi Valley on Yanyan Road to Tisheng Village; Huanqing Road Wei Border Village through Jiuxingyuan to Weibu Gukou; Jingyuan Road Weichuan Village passes through Huaide Army Guxiao Pass to Beiguchuan; Qinfeng Road leads to Huaibao to Guhuizhou, from then on straight to the Yellow River, divides the Xihe Road to the west to limit the domain, and then divides out the northwest of Shaanxi to exchange with Tiande and Yunnei, and still takes the Yellow River as the boundary. At this point, the original promise of Sticky Han has also been fulfilled in some aspects, and the solidarity of Li Qianshun, the king of Western Xia, has finally been rewarded, which is also a small episode in the relationship between Western Xia and Jin.

However, it was said that Sun Yi's army was defeated in Shuozhou and retreated to danger in order to defend it for a long time. Mu Han's goal was to capture Taiyuan, thinking that Sun Yi was not worried, so he led his troops south and besieged Taiyuan for a long time. Sun Yi saw that the heavy troops of Sticky Han were all under the city of Taiyuan, and the troops in Shuo and Dai were empty. He discussed with his subordinates that instead of retreating to the narrow land and defending itself, it was better to take advantage of the time when Sticky Han had no time to look north, seize the dangerous Yanmen Pass, recruit troops, and strictly defend. When the veterans of the Sticky Han Division are tired and return to the clouds, control their way home, and they will be able to annihilate the enemy. The generals under him all thought that instead of sitting and waiting for the siege, it was better to find fighters to destroy the enemy, which was the best policy.

Sun Yi was very happy when he saw that the morale of the generals was very high and he was happy to fight. It is thought that Yanmen Pass is a necessary place between Xijing Datong and Taiyuan, and it is a danger set by heaven, easy to defend and difficult to attack. Then he sent people to infiltrate the pass, and the local people joined forces, attacked inside and outside, and captured Yanmen Pass. He also used Daizhou as a base to recruit troops and buy horses, and there was an endless stream of people who came to join the army. Sun Yi stepped up the training of his soldiers, and sent troops to attack in all directions, which was a great shock for a while. After Mu Han learned about it, he sent troops to hold the Shiling Pass in Xinzhou to prevent Sun Yi's troops from going south to reinforce Taiyuan.

At that time, Taiyuan City was surrounded by Jin soldiers as if it were an iron barrel, and the internal and external connections had been severed. The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty summoned the armies of Hedong to reinforce Taiyuan, and the Song Prefecture guard general could ask to send someone to meet Sun Yi to conspire to rescue Taiyuan. The two agreed to join forces in one place to strengthen their momentum.

Although Sun Yi and Zhe Keqiu finalized the time, he was a person who was anxious, so he gathered all his men and set off for the south. He had already detected that Sticky Han had a heavy army stationed at Shiling Pass in Xinzhou. It took a detour to the west, passed through Ninghua Prefecture, and arrived at Xianzhou, which was also the only way for the soldiers of the prefecture led by Zhekeqiu.

Sun Yi was stationed in Xianzhou for two days, but he still did not see the arrival of the troops. He couldn't wait, so he said to his subordinates: "Forgive that sticky Han is just a mere ugly, what are you afraid of." The people in Taiyuan City hope for reinforcements. If I arrive at the city as soon as possible, I will first defeat the enemy's army, and then the army that can be asked for will follow, and the two of them will join forces, and I will definitely defeat the Jin soldiers under the city of Taiyuan. When the generals heard this, they could not be dissuaded. Sun Yi then ordered the army to pull out the village and go south. After Sun Yi left Yanmen, the land he occupied was once again acquired by the Jin people.

Sun Yi entered the Tianmen Pass, there were about 500 cavalry guarding the pass, the troops were weak, and the guard of the pass would go out to meet the battle, and was beheaded by Sun Yi under the horse. The rest of the soldiers were surrounded in front of the pass and almost completely slaughtered. There were still a few fast runners left, and Pegasus rushed back to Taiyuan to report to Sticky Han. It turned out that Sticky Han defended Shiling Pass with heavy troops, but neglected to guard against Tianmen Pass, and was taken advantage of by Sun Yi to enter.

The defeated soldiers of Tianmen Pass rushed to Taiyuan, reported the defeat to Mu Han, and said that the army led by Sun Yi could come to the city of Taiyuan between the days and the Japanese, and hoped that the capital would prepare as soon as possible. Sticky Han smiled when he heard this: "There are many enemy soldiers, and the Tianmen Pass cannot be defended, and the responsibility is not yours." As for Sun Yi coming to the nest, it may not be a good thing. ”

Lou Mu said: "Dutong, I expect that Sun Yi is a brave and unscrupulous person, which can be determined from his actions. So, it's not necessarily a concern. ”

Sticky Han listened and said with a smile: "How can you see it? Please explain it to me carefully. ”

Lou Room said: "Our army gathered under the city of Taiyuan, and it was more than a month. Xijing Datong is bound to be empty, which is not difficult to predict. If Sun Yi is a strategist, he will inevitably lead the whole army to take Xijing Datong. How does it feel to be under attack on the old nest of the capital? ”

"It's like a sharp knife in my heart, and it's unbearable. Therefore, when Sun Yi led his troops to capture Yanmen, he became my confidant. If he leads his troops to attack Xijing Datong, he will inevitably force us into a dilemma. Datong is our rear, and the soldiers' families are there. Shall we divide our forces to save them, or shall we not save them? Whether to save or not to save, it is a difficult problem to solve. Now that he's come to the door on his own, we can calmly deal with him. ”

Sun Yi led the army to Taiyuan until he camped under the city, which was very close to the Jin army. Sticky Han saw that the Song army was purged and its morale was extremely strong, but he didn't dare to relax in his heart. The next day, the two armies engaged in a battle from early morning to evening, with casualties and no victory. As twilight fell, the two sides retreated.

The next day, Sun Yi led his troops to challenge again, and Sticky Han also responded with an army. Sun Yi shook his spirits and danced a brilliant and dazzling silver spear like a pear blossom falling and a cold wind blowing. Seeing that the Jin general was a little overwhelmed, Sticky Han hurriedly ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops. For several days in a row, the Jin army just closed the gate of the village, allowing the Song army to shout and scold in every way, and only did not fight. On this day, Sticky Han suddenly opened the gate of the village and led the army out. Sun Yi couldn't hold back his fiery temperament, and when he heard the sound of the golden drum of the Jin army outside the barracks gate, he immediately put on his horse and led the army out of the gate.

The two armies faced each other, and when they were about to fight, they suddenly saw the Jin army retreating to the two wings, and two or three thousand civilians were pushed out of the army. It turned out that most of Sun Yi's generals were from Shuo and Dai Erzhou. Sticky Han saw that Sun Yi was good at fighting and it was difficult to win in front of the battle, so he came up with such a strategy. Sent troops to capture the people in Shuo and Dai, and when the confrontation came, they forced these people out of the front of the battle by force to shake the military spirit of the Song army.

This trick of sticky Han is really very effective, and most of Sun Yi's generals and these people are familiar with each other, and they are also related to each other. When they saw that their relatives were forced to come here, they were really broken, and they immediately collapsed one after another, not daring to fight again. Sun Yi couldn't suppress it, so he could only fight to the death single-handedly, and was finally surrounded by the Jinren. Sun Yi was red-eyed, but he didn't know how to break through and leave, and finally died in the chaos.

Zhe Keqiu led his troops from Fuzhou, crossed the Yellow River, passed through Qilan, and arrived in Xianzhou. At this time, he knew that Sun Yi was not equal as promised, and he couldn't help but be anxious. He originally planned to bring in reinforcements from Tianmen Pass, but when he arrived at the pass, he saw that the Jin soldiers were very tightly guarded, and it was difficult to break through after two days. It turned out that Mu Han had already detected that Zhi Keqiu had led 20,000 Fuzhou soldiers to rescue Taiyuan, and had already sent troops to strengthen the defense of Tianmen Pass.

I couldn't get the key to tackling the problem, and I didn't dare to delay the time under the pass, so I turned to the southwest. Over the mountains and mountains, from the Songzi Road, arrive at Jiaocheng. At this time, after more than ten days of trekking through mountains and rivers, the Song army generals were already tired and tired, and they needed time to rest and recuperate.

When Lou heard this, he begged to raise troops to aid Taiyuan, came to see Mu Han, and said: "Dutong, another brave and unscrupulous Song will come." ”

Sticky Han listened and said, "You mean, like Sun Yi, you have committed the taboo of a soldier?" If Song takes Wei to save Zhao, our army will have to take care of one and lose the other, and it will be difficult to take care of it. ”

Lou Room said: "Crossing the river from Fuzhou to the east, passing through Wuzhou and Shuozhou, and going straight to Xijing Datong, are all smooth roads, and there is nothing to obstruct them. If this is the best policy, the victory or defeat is unpredictable. Now you can abandon this best policy, and you have to run a long distance to relieve the siege of Taiyuan. Now that Sun Yi has been broken, although there are 20,000 people, the Tianmen Pass is difficult to break, and it is bound to take a detour to Jiaocheng. If our army waits for the enemy in the city and waits for work, it will surely win. ”

Sticky Han said: "The army of Balisu and Tuge Su is not far from Jiaocheng, so they can be deployed nearby to wait for the enemy. ”

Zhe Keqiu led his troops to Jiaocheng and was about to set up camp, when suddenly he heard the sound of golden drums and shouted to kill the sky. I saw that the gold soldiers who pulled out the rate came from the east. Zhe Keqiu hurriedly divided his troops to meet the battle. While the battle was raging, the sound of killing in the west was heard again, but it was Tuge who killed the soldiers. Can you ask for a tired army, where can you resist the two elite soldiers of the Jin army? At that moment, they pulled out the speed and the speed of the Tuge to lead the troops and horses of their headquarters, fought and entered, and rushed the Song army to a scattered, collapsed, and most of them were wounded, and then they were defeated and routed. At this point, Taiyuan City was still under the siege of the Jin people. If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
