Chapter 709: Both sides strike their troops

Wushu didn't stay in Taiyuan City for a few days, and he roughly figured out Xu Wei's reality and reality. This is not a difficult matter, how many rebels are in Hedong, Shaanxi is clear, and the Jin army is also clear. The rebels of Taihang Mountain poured out of the nest and came to Taiyuan to help in the war, which shows that a considerable part of the Song army was "thieves" in Hedong. After calculating again, after the Western Army enters Hedong, it will inevitably get a response from the "chaotic parties" in various places, and it is estimated that Xu Wei's 100,000 people in Mali, I am afraid that the real Western Army will not exceed half.

After learning the news, Wushu had confidence and immediately urged the three armies to rush to Yuci. However, at this time, Xu Wei had already led the Western Army all the way to the south and completely ran out of the Taiyuan boundary. As soon as I entered Fenzhou, I happened to meet the Liangxing Army who were hurrying slowly. The Western Army retreated all the way to Lingshi County, which was ruled by Fenzhou, because this place was where Yangliang Nanguan was located. As long as the Yangliang South Pass is held, even if the Jin army comes to attack, it can easily block it with the dangerous pass.

The Jin army chased all the way over, stationed troops in the north of the pass, and put on a posture of wanting to detain the pass. At this time, the supplies from Shaanxi had also been delivered, Xu Wei was more calm, and the distribution department would be stationed in Guancheng, just waiting for the Jin army to attack.

This Yangliang Nanguan was bloodless because of Han Chang's persuasion before, but this pass is really dangerous! It is built on the mountain, there are high mountains on both sides, and the front and back are depressions, whether it is attacking the north to the south, or the south to attack the north, you are attacking from the back, and no one can take advantage. The two armies confronted each other and did not move for several days. The Jin army did not come to detain the pass, and the Song army did not go out.

Lingshi County

Lingshi County at this time, that is, Lingshi County in Shanxi Province in later generations. After the recovery of the spirit stone, Xu Wei was in a hurry to move north, so he didn't bother to make arrangements, so during this time, the prefectures and counties in the southeast of Hedong were basically in a state of no one's jurisdiction. Although the people are celebrating the liberation, they also have to face many problems. Such as voyeurism and robbery, and even worse, some small groups of "rebels" who did not help the war took advantage of the chaotic situation to enter the city and plunder, claiming to be a certain official and so on.

As soon as Xu Wei entered the city, all the mess disappeared without a trace overnight. The so-called rebels who plundered Lingshi County quickly ran away as soon as they received the news. Xu Wei didn't send troops to encircle and suppress, but only asked people to bring a word, within three days, he would come to Lingshi to ask for guilt, otherwise, Hedong is so big, you play peek-a-boo with me?

Two days later, the rebels came to the door themselves. They know very well that if you register your account in Xu Zhaoqiu, you will basically not be able to run out of Hedong, so it is better to be honest. Xu Wei killed the leader to set an example.

On this day, several major generals of the Western Army received orders to go into the city for a meeting. Xu Wei of Yangliang Nanguan only left 4,000 people, and the rest went to Lingshi to rest, so this summoning, Qin Feng, Yongxing, and Liangxing and three generals entered the city one after another. In the former Great Song Dynasty and Dajin Lingshi County Yali, Yang Yan, Wu Lan, Zhang Xian, Wang Yan, Xu Sheng, Yang Zaixing, Li Chengwei, Li Cheng, etc. were all present. Xu Wei also specially informed civilian officials such as military envoys to attend the meeting.

Although the Jin army came to the aid in a big way, Taiyuan was about to break the city back to life, and it did make the generals annoyed for a while. But at the moment, you basically can't see the unhappiness on the faces of the generals. Because looking back, this time into Hedong, it can be described as a brilliant result, successively recovering Jiezhou, Jiangzhou, Huaizhou, Zezhou, Cizhou, Hezhongfu, Pingyangfu, Longdefu, Weisheng Army, most of Hedong has announced its return.

Not counting the lost territory, in this battle, nearly 60,000 captured Jin troops were killed, including Han Chang, the commander of Dajin Hedong. More importantly, this time the troops marched into Hedong, which greatly boosted morale. From the beginning of Xu Wei's Daimyo's mansion, every time in the Jin war, although there are many victories and few defeats, there is almost no time that it is not a difficult victory, and the Jin army's fierceness and tenacity are recognized by the Western Army. But this time it's different, devastating, windswept and remnant, like a bamboo, invincible! The kind of fierce field battle that the Tiger Army is best at has never happened at all!

Taiyuan did not take it, although it is a pity, but most of Hedong is in the hands, is Taiyuan still far away?

"The king is here." Wu Lan whispered, and the hall was suddenly silent.

Xu Wei turned out of the room, he was not wearing a military uniform, he was wearing a purple regular uniform, a gold belt, and his generals took a closer look, and found that King Xu Jun also took the time to trim his beard, which was very idle......

"It's all here?" Xu Weijing sat down behind the desk, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and made a smack sound in his mouth, looking very comfortable.

"Back to the king, everything that should have arrived has arrived." Yang Yan glared at a one-eyed and said.

"Gotcha, let's get started." Xu Wei was talking, but his eyes were fixed on a document on the case, which was the list of the rebels. After a while, he withdrew his gaze from the document and said to the generals, "The Jin army rushed to help, and it was menacing, and our army avoided its edge and withdrew from Taiyuan, and it was also a few days." Now that the Jin Army is not detained, we can't keep consuming it like this, calling you here today is to discuss how to go next. ”

How to go? It is nothing more than two choices, one is to stop the army and hold Yangliang South Pass. The terrain to the east of the river is mountainous, and it is full of mountains. In the area that the Western Army has now recovered, as long as the west holds Yangliang Nanguan, the Jin Army will not be able to easily move south. Because Luliang Mountain and Taiyue Mountain have created an extremely narrow corridor terrain in this area, Yangliang Nanguan is blocked, and this road is not passable. To the east, the Western Army hit the former Li Zhi's old nest, the Weisheng Army. To the north of the Weisheng Army, there are vast mountains, and even to the Taihang Mountain, the Jin Army can't come down.

Another option is to go out of Yangliang Nanguan and fight a decisive battle with the reinforcements of the Jin army to solve the problem in Hedong in one fell swoop. But now, even if Wang Yan's Liangxing army arrives, the elite troops are only in the early 40,000s, which is a little less after all.

"Even if the Jin army comes to help, we are not afraid. It's just that the troops are weaker now, otherwise they will summon all the way from Shaanxi? Li Cheng, the commander of the Yongxing Shuaisi, suggested.

Yang Yan glanced at him and asked, "Which way is the call?" Yan Yanjun? Huanqing Army? Jingyuan Army? There is a reason why the three sides of this edge have not moved. As for the Xihe Army, it's still too far, and it can't be moved easily. ”

"What Yang Jingluo said is not bad, these four soldiers and horses cannot be easily moved. Although the party members are soft, they cannot afford to be unguarded. Xihe Shuaisi is in a dangerous position, and he has to keep an eye on the Tubo people, so he can't move. It is unrealistic to call up troops again. Zhang Xian said.

Wu Lan has always been cautious and serious, and said at this time: "It is recommended to stop the army here. We know the importance of Taiyuan, and the Jin people also know it, and they will do their best to fight. Our army has been fighting fiercely for a long time, and the soldiers are tired, but it is better to collect the troops. Half of Hedong has been recovered, and the life of the Hedong Jin Army will become more and more difficult in the future, and the whole territory will be recovered, sooner or later. ”

"Tang Qing's words are reasonable." Wang Yan took over the conversation. "The Jin army suddenly rushed south to help, I expected that it must have solved the Khitans, and it is not appropriate to confront them at this time, especially when the troops are insufficient now."

When Xu Wei heard him say this, he nodded frequently and said, "Actually, this is what I'm most worried about now." We don't know what's going on in the north at all, it is said that the Khitans are determined to restore the country, and this first time they will march into the army, and they will do their best. And the Jin army was able to gallop south to aid Taiyuan, obviously because the threat of the Khitans had been lifted. It seems that the Liao army did not take advantage. ”

Since the Jin army is menacing, and the situation of the whole battle situation is unclear, what is the point of taking another risk? This military conference reached a preliminary consensus, that is, to stop the war and suspend the pace of the northward advance. The reason why this is said to be a consensus is because it is not a decision, and Xu Wei did not announce the order on the spot. Because now the army of the Jin State is still entrenched in the north of Yangliang Pass and has not withdrawn.

Wushu was in the army north of Yangliang Pass at this time, and the Song army withdrew from Yuci, and then completely withdrew from Taiyuan Mansion, all the way to this Yangliang South Pass. Based on this alone, he guessed Xu Wei's thoughts, Xu Hu'er didn't plan to fight anymore. Retreat from dangerous hurdles and consolidate vested territory.

Xu Hu'er was relieved, but he was faced with a dilemma. The Lianghe region is the territory that the Jin army first fought down, and now most of the east of the river has been snatched back, if the troops are sent to attack, the troops have just fought with the Liao army, and then go to fight hard with the Western Army, this is the main force of the Dajin country now, in case of a mistake, it will shake the country's capital.

If left unchecked, it means that half of the east side of the river has "fallen". Most of the money and grain in the east of the river come from the south, except for the Taiyuan Basin, the north is full of mountainous areas, the land is barren and the people are poor, it is difficult to support the army, and I am afraid that the future life will not be easy.

And the biggest headache for him was Song Liao's alliance. This pair of difficult brothers and sisters joined forces to cripple the Western Xia, so that the Khitans had a foothold for the Eastern Crusade. Originally, in recent years, the Song army has become more and more courageous, and it has the ability to reverse the decline in the early stage of the Song-Jin War. Now with the addition of the Khitans, it is really difficult to cope.

Wushu hesitated in the army, but happened to encounter an old illness again, so he had no intention of fighting again. Collect the troops back to Taiyuan, leave the troops to repair the Yangliangbei Pass, and confront the Song army with danger.

Yangliang North Pass is the last pass to the Taiyuan Basin. If the Western Army controls here, it will simply fight Taiyuan whenever it wants. So, why did Xu Wei choose to hold Yangliang Beiguan? Just because a few days ago, the Western Army stormed this pass, almost all the firearms were destroyed, and a solid pass was so damaged that it was impossible to defend it.

The Song army retreated south, the Jin army returned north, and both sides were relieved. But it's not a happy thing. Previously, the Jin army was expelled from Shaanxi, which was acceptable to the Jurchens. Because they have never completely occupied Shaanxi, they only stole the eastern part of Shaanxi, the area around Yanyan, and at its peak, they only arrived in Chang'an. The Western Army recovered all of Shaanxi, and the impact on the Jin Army was not too great. But this time, Xu Wei seized half of Hedong in one fell swoop, and once hit Taiyuan, not far from Yanyun, which was enough to shock the government and opposition of the Jin Kingdom! RO
