Attack Caizhou again and follow the old rut

The soldiers went out of Xiguan and encountered a strong enemy

Wang Fubin was defeated in Tangzhou, packed up the remnants of the army and returned to the camp, and the military department Shangshu and Jingxi Hubei Xuanfu made Uncle Xue seem to see him depressed and depressed, and he couldn't bear to speak ill of each other, and told him to rest for a good life.

After he recovered, he walked out of the barracks and chatted with him, asking him what his plans were. Wang knew Xue's intentions, and lowered his head in contemplation.

Both of them are Han Yanxuan's henchmen, and they are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and they are both lost and prosperous.

Xue is a Jinshi background, has always liked to talk about recovery, during the Xingyuan period, also included in the pseudo-academic name, after the ban was lifted, first served in the local government, in the process of rehabilitating Yue Fei in the imperial court, contributed a lot. In today's court, there are four most famous civil officials in the main battle, Ye Zhengze, Xin Qiji, Chen Qian and Xue Shu. In the third year of Jiatai, he was recalled to study in the Beijing Palace, and soon he was reused again, and he was promoted to the Ministry of Power and Military Affairs and the Counselor of the National History Department

Wang Fubin was born in a family of military generals, and Han Yanxuan had known each other since childhood, and last autumn, by Han Yanxuan's appreciation, Zhai was promoted by the Ma Junsi to the deputy capital of Ezhou and the deputy envoy of Jingxi.

The defeat of Tangzhou greatly frustrated the Northern Expedition of Jinghu West Road, and the reputation of Wang Fubin's first general in Huaixi was greatly dishonored. Whether it is to repay the kindness of the encounter or to protect its own honor, it must fight again, and it must win.

Xue Wangyi discussed and aimed the key military target at Caizhou. Before, the king of Jingnan attacked Caizhou Buke, and now he has regrouped and increased his troops, so he must take it.

Caizhou is located in the southwest of Henan Province, with Funiu in the north, Jingxiang in the south, Hanshui in the west, and Wanluo in the east, enjoying the reputation of the pearl of Tianfu Danshui in the Central Plains.

In view of Caizhou's important military position in the Huaixi battlefield, on the basis of Caizhou's assassin Wanyan Dajib leading troops to garrison, Bu Sanhua sent two fierce generals.

Wanyan Sai is not a burly appearance, with red lips and white teeth, at first glance, he looks like a weak scholar in Jiangnan, calm and strategic, and a handsome general; Pu Xian Wannu, a rising star among the generals of the Jin Kingdom, is a typical Jurchen, with a high forehead and wide eyebrows, oak hair and hanging shoulders, a white robe, a narrow sleeve collar on the left side, and a steel knife across the abdomen. Bu Sanhua appointed Wanyan Saibu and Puxian Wannu as the chief and deputy commanders, and joined forces with Wanyan Dajibu, the assassin of Caizhou, to meet Wang Fubin's army of 40,000.

Wang Fubin led a large army to Caizhou and received two important messages: Jin increased the defense of Caizhou and sent heavy troops to guard it; Guo Zuo, Li Ruyi and others on the Eastern Front suffered a miserable defeat under the city of Suzhou. Wang Fubin knew very well that it would be difficult to gain the upper hand by attacking the fortified city with a tired army. He then ordered the army to camp in the south of Qintou River.

Qintou River was called Qinshui in ancient times, and the "Water Jing Note" said: "Qinshui comes out of Qingyi Mountain in the north of Pushiling, which is also called Qingyi Water". It originates from Qianyanling at the junction of Queshan and Miyang, flows through the two counties of Queshan and Runan, and is a river that must pass through Dengzhou in the north.

A few days ago, there was a heavy rain here, and the water of the Qintou River swelled. The outpost reported that the Jin army took the initiative to go out of the city to fight, and Wang Fubin decided to hold the pontoon bridge on the river to block it.

Jin Jun is not a fool, knowing that you opened your mouth wide on the pontoon bridge, and would not obediently send you to death. They traveled dozens of miles in two ways to smuggle in: in the dead of night, they couldn't see their fingers. Wanyan Dajib commanded the cavalry on the right to wade through the water, and Puxian Wannu led the infantry on the left to cross the river and copied the rear road of the Song army; Wanyan Saibu led the Chinese army, waited for the troops on both sides to cross the river, and then launched a fierce attack on the Song army stationed on the bridge deck.

The attack started in the middle of the night, Wanyan Saibu and the deputy capital Puxian Wannu led the elite troops to storm the bridge position of the Southern Song Dynasty, Wanyan Dajib commanded the right army to assist from the west side, and fought until dawn, the Song army could not resist, and returned to the pass to the south and retreated.

The nightmare of Wang Fubin and his army was not over, Puxian Wannu had successfully broken through Zhenyang County south of Dengzhou, cutting off their retreat, and a battle of encirclement and annihilation between the north and the south began again.

Wang Fubin's army suffered the heaviest defeat since the beginning of the war, with more than 20,000 soldiers beheaded and more than 1,000 horses and miscellaneous animals captured by the Jin State.

In Huaixi, the Song army was defeated again and again, and only the army of Zhao Chun, the envoy of the North Beijing Road, the prefect of Xiangyang and the commander of Ezhou, had a small gain.

The original plan was that Zhao Chun and Wang Daxing joined forces to attack Caizhou. At the time of departure, Zhao Shuitu was unconvinced, and he had a stomach for two days and could not walk at all. A few days later, he led his troops to surround Dengzhou. Shan Xi, the assassin of Dengzhou in Jinguo, resisted stubbornly, and the two sides formed a confrontation and a stalemate lasted for nearly half a month.

Seeing the six roads, listening to the eight directions of the Bu Sanhua again sent troops to reinforce in time, in the col fifty miles away from Dengzhou City, was ambushed by the deputy general Zhou Shijiang of Xiangyang, the two sides of you come and I fight to the death, Zhao Chun divided troops to reinforce, the Jin 3,000 reinforcements were beaten to a falling stream, and captured the Henan Namu Heshu.

But the city of Dengzhou was still not captured.

The news of the defeat kept coming from the front lines of the East and Central Roads, and the Privy Council was as silent as death in the speed room, Han Yan's face sank like water, and his eyes were like two fireballs: "Fuck, all of them are rice buckets." ”

Chen Zhishan said: "Bi Zaiyu and Zhao Chun are still very good. ”

Han Yanxuan glanced at him, "Wang Fubin is not a thing, he can talk big." Guo Zuo also calls himself Zhao Zilong, I think he is a worm. ”

Zhou Yunluan persuaded: "King Pingzhang, there will always be victories and defeats in wars, don't we still occupy several states and counties?" The little one has a suggestion, you see--"

Han Yanxuan was impatient and urged: "If you have something to say, say it quickly!" ”

"The Jin people stubbornly resisted and held on to Lianghuai and Jinghu, indicating that the main force of their army was here, then Sichuan and Shaanxi would be empty, and let Cheng Song and Wu Xi attack in the northwest, which would not only recover some territory, but also reduce the military pressure on this side. Wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? ”

Han Yanxuan immediately turned his worries into joy, "Okay, immediately send an edict to Xingzhou with a five-hundred-mile gold medal, and order Cheng Song and Wu Xi to send troops to attack and win." ”

Lizhou West Road, outside Xingzhou (now Luoyang County, Shaanxi), Lingyan Temple on the bank of the Jialing River.

The temple is small and the scenery is extraordinary. The buildings are scattered, and the red frame cornices. There is a tall ancient cypress in the temple, and under the tree, the mountain chief accompanies the officials to taste tea. Although it is summer, the temple is breezy and breezy.

This person is forty years away, of medium stature, and his face is quite square, but if you look closely, there is a small scar in the middle of the left side of your face, and there are some small scars next to it. Looking at the clothes again, the crimson gown is the best satin, revealing extraordinary and domineering in his gestures. He is the first person in Sichuan and Shaanxi, the pacification envoy of Lizhou West Road, the former commander of Xingzhou and the governor of Xingzhou.

"Mage, Ben Shuai has been upset lately, and it is difficult to sleep. Can you think of a way? ”

"Handsome, like born from the heart, troubles are only due to selfish desires, no desire is peace of mind, peace of mind is the fragrance of food."

"Master, tell me, what desires should Ben Shuai have besides eating and drinking?"

"The desire of ordinary people is nothing more than full of food and clothing, the handsome is my parent official of thousands of miles of Sichuan and Shu, the pillar of the imperial court, your wish should be to protect the territory and consolidate the land, support the blue sky in the northwest for the Great Song Dynasty, and protect millions of living beings in Sichuan and Shu."

Yes, the three generations of the Wu family have been for 80 years, and the main task is to protect the territory and consolidate the land and support the blue sky in the northwest for the Great Song Dynasty. But how did the imperial court treat me Wu Xi?

Recently, he kept dreaming about his father at night. Among the five brothers, his father Wu Ting is the fiercest to him, and he rarely has a good face. Many years later, he felt that in the midst of his father's severe scolding, he was pinned on his expectations and love. It's a pity that he left home very early, and he was the shortest by his father's side.

At the age of fifteen, he was appointed as the right Chengfeng Lang, and soon let him leave Xingzhou to the capital, and the next year, he was changed to Wu Delang and appointed as the general of Zhonglang, and the official said that he was promoted too quickly, and changed to Wu Yilang. At that time, he knew that he was a hostage of the imperial court to restrain the Wu family, just like a collateral in a pawnshop.

Over the years, he has come into contact with thousands of people, and the one he owes the most is his father. My father's old man has always been worried about the monarch and patriotism, preparing for the border and supporting the people, and is very valued by the imperial court. At a young age, he followed his grandfather Wu Lan to defend Hechi (now Huixian County, Gansu) against the Jinren. At the age of 25, he was appointed as the commander of the Wuchang Army, the commander of the four compartments of the Dragon Shenwei, and the commander of the Chinese army because of his outstanding achievements. As the commander of the Western Army, he governed the army well, disciplined and disciplined, and was happy in the army.

It's a pity that his father left too early, and it's a pity that he couldn't serve for a day during his father's serious illness, until today, he still clearly remembers that in June of the fourth year of Shaoxi (1193), his father died, and he asked to return to his hometown for funeral, but the court did not reply. At that time, he was so angry that he went straight to Xingzhou regardless of his fucking three-seven-twenty-one, and when he returned home, he knelt in front of his father's spirit, crying and crying. In the sixth year of Qingyuan (1199), he was promoted to the deputy commander of the front division of the palace, commonly known as the Taiwei, and was already a member of the three grades in the court. wanted to return to his hometown to fulfill his filial piety to his mother, but the court still disagreed.

Wu Xi was in a reverie, and his own soldiers came to report: "Marshal, Kyoto sent an urgent edict." Cheng Dashuai, please go back and discuss."

The edict asked Sichuan to pacify the envoys to clean up the troops and horses, attack Jinbang, and fight each other with the Eastern and Southern Song Dynasty armies.

Cheng Song, the pacification envoy of Sichuan, asked cautiously: "Wu Shuai, what do you think?" ”

Wu Xi glanced at him, "Since the imperial court has an order, let's fight." ”

Without further ado, the next day, Yang Dongfang led 7,000 men to attack Xichuan Village in Yanzhou (now Dingbian, Shaanxi) in order to take the Fuping Road in Qinzhou.

The Jin soldiers of Xichuan Village in Yanzhou resisted stubbornly and fought fiercely until the afternoon, with casualties on both sides. Suddenly, the defender of Jin Qinzhou sent two strong brigades to attack the Song army that was attacking the village from the east and west, and the Song army was attacked on three sides, with many casualties and was at a disadvantage, and Yang Dongfang had to order a retreat.
