Chapter 158: Military Intelligence
Everyone is sitting in the city lord's mansion in Dasanguan, telling about the military situation!
"The forbidden army and the imperial camp of 70,000 people can all participate in the war! Part of the Jingyuan army is in Jingyuan City, and now it can use 50,000 soldiers and horses! The Huanqing Army wants to leave some people to guard the Dasan Pass, and 30,000 soldiers and horses can be used! 70,000 plus 50,000 plus 30,000, we can use a total of 150,000 soldiers and horses! And in the entire Guanshan, the remaining Jurchen army is only 30,000 people! We should have no problem with 150,000 against 30,000 people! Zhao Chen said.
"Yes, we will definitely be able to defeat the Jin Bing!" Yue Fei is very confident!
But in addition to the two of them, Wang Shu, Zhao Zhe, Liu Qi and others were a little worried! The Jurchens are invincible, this sentence is like a spell in their hearts, if they don't break this spell, they will never have self-confidence!
"We still need to plan it well! The Jingyuan Army and the Huanqing Army are the way, the Forbidden Army and the Imperial Camp are the way, and we can attack Chang'an in two ways! Once Chang'an is breached, there is no problem in taking the entire Guanshan! Zhao Chen said.
"Your Majesty, we can go all the way from the Fufeng area, and all the way from the further north area! Conquer the state capital all the way to Chang'an! Wang Shu said.
I don't agree with that! Those state capitals don't have many Jurchen garrisons at all, so we don't need to consume our strength at all, and we don't need to stay in these state capitals! Yue Fei said.
Now everyone is debating!
After a long while, Zhao Chen said: "How are our grain and grass prepared? How prepared were the people who delivered the grain and grass? ”
Wang Shu said: "Our grain and grass are enough, but ordinary people are unwilling to go to the battlefield and are unwilling to help us transport grain and grass!" ”
Zhao Chen frowned and said, "Wang Shu, you are in charge of the Propaganda Department and educating the people, it seems that the effect is limited during this time!" ”
Wang Shu smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty, this propaganda department has only been established for two months, and it is very difficult to make the people change within two months!" ”
Zhao Chen nodded and said, "After this battle, we must strengthen propaganda!" Increase the number of candidates, increase the investment of money! I must see a real change in the thinking of the people in Hanzhong and Sichuan and Shu! ”
Wang Shu said: "What now?" ”
Zhao Chen said: "Aren't there still soldiers in various places? Use the van soldiers! ”
The so-called box soldiers are the soldiers in the Song Dynasty who were responsible for escorting goods and miscellaneous duties! It's just that the world is in turmoil, and many van soldiers are already in chaos, so Zhao Chen wants to mobilize the people to transport grain and grass! But the purpose of mobilizing the people has not been achieved, so the only way to gather those already chaotic soldiers is to gather them!
Wang Shu nodded and agreed.
Zhao Chen said: "In fact, if it is an emergency operation, people who don't need to transport grain and grass can do it!" We can make some simple food and grass for soldiers to carry around! ”
Everyone was stunned, and Wang Shu said: "What simple grain and grass? ”
Zhao Chen said: "I forgot about this before! When you say it, I remember! We can make some simple fried noodles, don't put anything in them, just noodles and salt, take fried noodles with you when you fight, and march all the way, which will definitely greatly improve the efficiency of the march! ”
In later generations, the Red Army used fried noodles in warfare, and even on the Korean battlefield, it was still fried noodles! When each soldier sets out, he brings a big bag of fried noodles, and the fried noodles are covered with snow! Although fried noodles are not nutritious, they are easy to make and carry, and there is no need to open the pot and set up a stove when fighting, which greatly improves combat efficiency!
When Zhao Chen said this, everyone was stunned! Even Yue Fei was stunned! It's the first time they've heard of chow mein as a military ration!
Yue Fei said: "You can give this a try!" ”
Zhao Chen said: "You guys go and prepare for this matter now!" The Jurchens have just gone south, and if we go east immediately, we are afraid that the Jurchens who have gone south will return again, so we are not in a hurry for the time being! As long as we have to wait for more than ten days, we will set off! Now let's get everything ready! ”
*** ***
The whole day everyone was discussing the military situation, and it was not until late at night that everyone had time to rest!
Zhao Chen came to the city wall, and Zhiyueru was by his side!
It turned out that Zhe Yueru also followed Zhao Chen to Dasanguan this time!
"I'm going to do it in person!" Zhao Chen said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" The moon is like a road.
"It's nothing to deal with a few tens of thousands of people with more than 100,000 people! Nothing will happen! Zhao Chen said.
"The Jurchens are fierce and should not be underestimated!" The moon is like a road.
Zhao Chen shook his head, unimpressed!
He looked into the distance, full of ambition!
Since coming to this era, he has been depressed for a long time! He had long wanted to vent and fight the Jurchens well! Now, at last!
The fluttering snow fell again, Zhao Chen felt a little cold on his forehead, he calmed down suddenly, and said, "I'm a little too confident!" Imagine that the Jurchens have been invincible for more than ten years, and naturally there is a reason for him! It seems that we still have to plan well and observe the information of the Jurchens well, so as not to make mistakes! ”
Zhi Yueru smiled on the side: "Your Majesty can think like this!" ”
Zhao Chen laughed and said, "I'm also tired for a day, let's go back and eat something!" The things in this army are far inferior to the palace and Nanzheng, can you still get used to eating? ”
Zhi Yueru said: "Your Majesty can get used to eating, am I not used to eating?" ”
Zhao Chen shook his head, he didn't want Zhiyueru to follow, but Zhiyueru wanted to follow! However, their emperor and empress are different from ordinary emperors and empresses, they don't have many retinues, they don't have much etiquette, so they don't have much influence on the soldiers' march!
They came down from the wall, and went down to look for something to eat, and they didn't mention it.
*** ***
Until December 20th, everyone was discussing the military situation!
On this morning, the crowd stood on the city wall, and they were ready to go!
At this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared under the city! Then I saw a person running in the direction of Dasanguan!
It was snowing heavily, and the man was white! He came to the city wall of Dasanguan, and after passing through, he was put into Dasanguan!
He came in without stopping at all, and strode towards the city wall!
When he came to the city wall, this man knelt down in front of Zhao Chen and the others, panting, and said, "Your Majesty, generals, the Jurchens have moved!" ”
Zhao Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "The Jurchens moved?" ”
This person was just a soldier, gasping for breath at the moment, and said: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens in Chang'an have begun to act, and tens of thousands of Jurchens have left Chang'an and are heading towards the west!" ”
What the!
Everyone was taken aback!
They were planning how to counterattack the attack on Shaanxi, but they didn't expect the Jurchens in Guan Shaanxi to take the lead!
"How many Jurchens are there?" Zhao Chen said.
"At the moment there are only a few thousand people coming towards the west! After the villain saw the Jurchens leaving, he immediately came to report! We still have people watching the Jurchens! "It's humane.
"Very good, you go to rest first, this is important information, we have to discuss it immediately!" Zhao Chen said.
The crowd was still amazed! They didn't expect that the Jurchens would dare to go west while going south! The Jurchens are about to attack on both sides! There are more than 100,000 Jurchens going south, and their strength is strong! But if they go west, they only have a total of 30,000 horses, and that courage is a little too big!
"Looks like we're going to revisit the battle plan!" Zhao Chen said.
"Not bad! The Jurchens are advancing westward, we can wait for work, first destroy the Jurchen army advancing westward, and then let's go east to Chang'an! Yue Fei said.
Everyone didn't expect that the situation on the battlefield had changed so much, and they had to change their plans with the enemy at the moment!
On the 22nd of December, another soldier arrived, and they received information that the Jurchen army advancing west had reached 10,000 men!
The Jurchens are invincible! That's a scary number!
By the 25th of December, the Jurchens were getting closer and closer to them!
Seeing that the direction of the Jurchens' attack is Fengxiang Mansion!
Fengxiang Mansion is the capital of Qinfeng Road, including the current Baoji, Qishan, Linyou, Fufeng, Zhouzhi and other places are under the jurisdiction of Fengxiang Mansion!
Fufeng and Zhou Zhi have already been occupied by the Jurchens!
On December 25, the Jurchen army surrounded Qishan County!
Qishan County is just a small county town, and it only took an hour for the Jurchens to defeat Qishan County!
The 10,000 Jurchens did not continue to advance, but stopped for a day in Qishan County!
On this day, the Jurchens burned, killed and looted in Qishan County, doing all kinds of evil! Countless old people and children were killed as if they were playing, and countless women were raped by them!
At night, 10,000 Jurchens fell asleep!
The next morning, the 10,000 Jurchens continued to move forward, and they rode their horses and headed towards Fengxiang Mansion!
