Volume 9 Turning the Heavens Chapter 784 [Divergence]
The Song people like to win the game the most, and they can even take a straw chip to guess the odd and even double bets in their idle and boring time, so when everyone heard that Huang Jie was actually under the city of Tokyo, and he gambled with the golden people for 100,000 yuan, they were all stunned.

Therefore, this "paralyzing plan" is naturally nonsense, and it doesn't matter who proposed the idea, anyway, Wu Song dared to jump out and take the black pot on his back.
Fortunately, I heard that Wu Song and the others did not wear military armor to do things, but pretended to be some kind of green forest heroes, which made this matter in front of Huang Jie have a chance to turn around. But in any case, the gambling battle of 10,000 yuan still made Huang Jie angry, not because he was worried about the money, but because he suffered a big loss: counting the record of the thirteenth and fourteenth days, it was twenty-two wins, and if it was according to the bet made by Huang Jie and Zong Wang before, the compensation for the extortion of the Great Song Dynasty by the Jin Kingdom would be reduced by 2.2 million yuan!
After asking about the situation on Wu Song's side, calculating the time, it would take more than an hour for the herald to run back and forth, and Huang Jie was busy asking about the military situation again. I also know that the 4,000 Huangzhou Wei infantry soldiers have arrived at the Niutoushan camp at noon on the 14th, and now the whole army is resting, but the 8,000 soldiers borrowed from Xiangyang by the division are still above the halfway, according to the letter early in the morning, although the front army is about to arrive at Yingchang Mansion, but the rear army is still in Xiangcheng, which is almost 100 miles away from Yingchang.
After all, a team of foot soldiers like Huang Zhouwei who traveled more than 100 miles a day was not bad at all even compared with the most elite forbidden army in the Great Song Dynasty, and the 8,000 Xiang army borrowed by the Seed Master Dao was naturally an average level, and traveling 50 miles a day was similar to a forced march.
Of course, when he made the plan a few days earlier, Huang Jie didn't count his 8,000 Xiang army, and the main force in the plan to launch the encirclement and annihilation campaign was naturally the 5,000 men and horses under Huang Jie.
Although 4,500 of Huang Jie's 5,000 men and horses were foot soldiers, they had 240 top-of-the-line chariots, nearly 50 artillery pieces of length, and 3,000 rounds of new-style thunderbolt rockets.
It's just that now there is a little mistake in the problem of encirclement, although the planting division and Zhi Keshi have moved the troops in place early in the morning, and the ambush position of the two armies is almost eighty miles away from Tokyo, but after the battle plan was delivered two days ago, the two days of the division and Zhi Keshi have respectively fed back a news, that is, along the north bank of the Yellow River north of Tokyo, the Jin army ranger sentry has been discovered, which should be the main force of Zonghan's army in Longde Mansion.
In other words, Zong Han's reinforcements are very likely to cross the Yellow River south and join Zongwang in the past few days, so whether to attack Zongwang before Zonghan's reinforcements have not crossed the river, or attack Zong Han's troops halfway, or let the two armies meet in front of the city, and then make a net of dumplings, which needs to be considered and considered.
Although Huang Jie was drunk and fainted with Lu Junyi's help, it was obvious that this kind of news would not be hidden from the seed master and Zhi Keshi, after all, the two families placed Chong Xuan and Zhe Yuemei next to Huang Jie in order to pass on the news, so they had disagreements about the current situation.
Among the planters, Lao Cheng is naturally more serious, and thinks that he should follow the plan formulated before, release Zong Han's reinforcements and Zong Wang's division and then encircle them on all sides and annihilate them in one fell swoop, after all, the time and place are favorable. As for Zhi Keshi, it was because of the sudden situation that Huang Jie was drunk and fainted, and the 8,000 Xiang army borrowed by the master came to help, he urgently proposed to divide the troops into two routes, one way to encircle the city of Tokyo according to the original plan, and all the way to the north to intercept Zong Han and burn the ships along the river.
Therefore, this is also the reason why Lu Junyi saw Huang Jie wake up, and said that if he didn't wake up again, it would be a big deal.
However, with the military intelligence report of Zheyuemei, Huang Jie naturally asked someone to clean up the handsome case and worship the marching map, but he also saw that the central part of the division is now hidden in Dongming (near Lankao County) in the lower reaches of the Guangji River, and it is only two days away from Tokyo (about 80 miles).
According to the plan made in the morning, if there is no change, the two armies will set out at midnight on 15 March, and enter the field in the afternoon of 16 March to complete the encirclement.
Huang Jie's 5,000 men and horses were to be responsible for marching to the city of Tokyo on the morning of March 15, setting up a position to attract the attention of the Jin army, and trying to resist the counterattack, holding out until the afternoon of the 16th, when the two armies were encircled.
Then, the problem in front of Huang Jie at the moment is that he needs to decide whether it is an idea that is suitable for the folding, divide the troops into two ways, and attack Zong Han and Zong Wang separately, and break them individually. Still support the seed master, give up the battle plan in front of him, let Zong Han Zongwang join the army, and wait for the 8,000 men and horses of the seed master to arrive, and then come to make dumplings.
Judging from the current situation, these two operational plans have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although it has always been taboo for soldiers to divide their troops to attack, as far as the current Song and Jin combat strength is concerned, the soldiers and horses of the three divisions of Fold, Seed, and Huang obviously have an absolute advantage over the Zongwang Department under the city in terms of total strength and total combat power.
In addition, the division of troops to the north to intercept it, although it may not be able to stop Zong Han, but the destruction of ships along the river can also play a role in preventing the remnants of Zongwang from fleeing north, and the benefits are naturally obvious.
But the idea in the seed master is not wrong, after all, he has also fought in the northwest for so many years, and knows where the advantages and disadvantages of the Song army and the Jin army lie at the moment, and after proposing to let Zong Han and Zong Wang join the division, the Song army is also waiting for the seed master to come over and surround it on all sides, so that even if he can't win, he won't lose ugly.
Speaking of which, Huang Jie has also read a few military books, and after weighing the pros and cons, he not only thinks that the idea of folding is good, but also feels that the old Cheng in the breeder is more secure, and he is really indecisive for a while. After thinking about it, he simply called the commanders of the various departments of the mixed company to discuss it, and immediately everyone also discussed it.
