Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Jinguo West Route Army, was paying close attention to the Song army's rescue of Taiyuan, and on the other hand, Sanniang also shifted his attention to the Taiyuan rescue after sending Guan Sheng to lead an army of 50,000 to rescue Hejian Mansion. Since Lin Chong, Huang Wenbing, and Chen Xizhen led an army www.biquge.info of 30,000 to rescue Taiyuan, the flying pigeon from Taiyuan, Yushe, Handan, Julu, Qinghe, and Jeju has not stopped.

After Guan Sheng's army left, Lin Chong's troops marched west from Yushe and attacked Taiyuan by Fenshui, and Sanniang keenly discovered the problem. That night, Sanniang summoned Zhu Wu, Zhang Shuye and other staff generals to discuss the military situation, and after everyone arrived, Sanniang ordered someone to carry out the newly made big sand table.

This sand table is Sanniang's order Duan Jingzhu convened many literati and craftsmen who are familiar with geography to make together, Shanxi, Hebei and other roads have been made of the sand table, this time Sanniang first carried out the Shanxi sand table.

Sanniang pointed at Taiyuan, Shanxi Province with a bamboo whip and said: "Recently, Zhang Shun, Liu Tang, and Li Kui came to the military to report that more than 1,000 infantry troops, more than 1,500 sailors, and 5,000 people have occupied a foothold on the east bank of Fenshui in the west of Taiyuan, set up a Fenshui camp, and built a temporary wharf. Lin Chong's department has left Yushe and is heading along the Fenshui. The grain and grass equipment in the army is still enough for two months, but if we want to open up the Taiyuan rescue road and support the Taiyuan City, we must have to transport a batch of grain and grass equipment here after Lin Chong's department arrives. ”

After a pause, Sanniang pointed to the rest of the Song army and said: "In addition to our army this time, among the military horses of the Song Dynasty to rescue Taiyuan, the general and the division entered the west from Jingcheng, Hebei, and the other two generals, Yao Pingzhong's adoptive father Yao Gu and Zhang Xiaochun's son Zhang Hao went north from Changzhi and Fenzhou respectively, and the three armies were horns for each other to relieve the siege of Taiyuan. But there is a problem here, the strength of the Jin army under Taiyuan City has been proven, there are only less than 10,000 soldiers and horses in the Yinshu Ke Department, and the main force of the Jin Army on the West Road was brought back to Yunzhong Mansion by Wanyan Zonghan, if Wanyan Zonghan led the army to help, how would he use the troops? ”

Uncle Zhang looked at the sand table and said: "The lord of this sand table is extremely vivid, the geography of the mountains and rivers can be seen at a glance, and it is really a divine object." As for the rescue of the Jin Army, his subordinates guessed that there might be three situations. One of them is that Zong Han led the army to the city of Taiyuan, confronted our army, and continued to besiege Taiyuan. The second is to press the troops, if you see that our army is strong, you will order the silver technique to withdraw the siege. The third is also the biggest worry, he ignored Taiyuan after Yan Zonghan, but sent troops to intercept the other reinforcements of the Song army, and after defeating the reinforcements of the division, he waved the army back to Taiyuan, so that our army would fall into a situation of being alone. ”

Sanniang stroked her palms and smiled: "What Mrs. Zhang said is very true, I don't think Jin Jun will use the first two situations, and the last one is the most likely." Zhu Wu also said: "Exactly, in the first case, the Jin army went to the city of Taiyuan to confront our army, I believe that Zong Han also knew the strength of our army's water army, our army was deployed in the river, it was difficult for the Jin army to cut off our army's grain road, and our army confronted in Taiyuan, the Song army reinforcements from all walks of life will continue to come, forming a stalemate, Zong Han is a famous general of the Jin army, and he will definitely not do this." The second situation is too weak, and Zong Han will not use it, so he will only use the third method. ”

Sanniang said: "Indeed, if the Jin people are allowed to defeat the other reinforcements of the Song army, although there will be no loss for our army, it will be extremely passive in the future, at least the Jin army can directly detour south, threaten several important towns on the banks of Fenshui and the Yellow River, and threaten our army to supply by water." Is it my plan to remind the Song army to be careful, or directly send a military horse to support the Song army in the battle, at least not a few reinforcements can be annihilated by the Jin army. ”

Zhu Wu said with a smile: "It seems that the lord still doesn't believe in the combat effectiveness of the Song army. Sanniang sighed and said: "The Song army is dominated by the infantry army, and the Jin people are mainly cavalry, even if they can win, it is difficult to annihilate the Jin army. ”

Uncle Zhang said: "Why don't you teach General Lin to divide a group of troops and horses out and go to support the middle division of the division." Sanniang shook her head and said: "Senior brother there are not many soldiers and horses, and there are few cavalry, fighting with the main force of the Jin army, it is useless to go with fewer soldiers, go more, and then divide the troops of senior brother, it is difficult for Taiyuan to break the siege." I thought about it here, or to mobilize 10,000 cavalry from the Shandong Road, and transport the second batch of grain and grass to go, after arriving in Shanxi, the navy continued to Taiyuan, and the cavalry went ashore to help. ”

Zhang Shuye and Zhu Wuben praised together, and immediately agreed, with the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi as the main general, and the four generals of Jingmu Pole Hao Siwen, Choujun Ma Xuanzan, Dumars Kong Ming, and Unicorn Star Kong Liang were supplemented by four generals, commanding 10,000 cavalry, and going to Shanxi with the naval army Ruan Xiaoqi. At the same time, just because the war with Jin is about to start, Sanniang is also going to start fighting for the world, Li Jun's navy will be suspended first, and Sanniang has ordered Li Jun's navy to return to Shandong Road.

After the discussion, Zhang Shuye and other staff members left first, but Zhu Wu was left by Sanniang, Sanniang said to Zhu Wu: "Now that we have entered the wartime, fighting is to fight logistics, and all military horses need money, food and equipment to fight, although we have made sufficient preparations on Shandong Road, but the money and grain equipment in the rear still need to be transported, Taiyuan, Hejian and other places must raise and transport grain and grass, I want to teach you to personally lead the logistics affairs, and the commander Jiang Jing, the nine-tailed turtle Tao Zongwang, the money leopard Tang Long, and the jade pole and banner Meng Kang will assist you." Rear money, grain, military quarters, people's husbands, sailors, but everything needed for logistics, you can deploy, our army should ask you for all the food, grass and military supplies, we must ensure the logistics of our army and horses. ”

Zhu Wu bowed down and said, "My subordinates understand, and they will definitely teach our army's logistics to be unimpeded." And in the war at the front, I will also sit in the rear and teach the production of Yiying in Shandong Road as usual, which will not affect the production in the rear. In addition, I will arrange for the production of munitions to be increased, and the production of gunpowder, firearms, artillery, armor, and horses will be stepped up. It's just that now that there is a war with the Jin Kingdom, the procurement of war horses may stagnate. However, after several years of cultivation in several horse farms on Shandong Road, we have also begun to have a supply of war horses, plus the capture of war horses in front, as long as there are no huge losses in cavalry, we will definitely be able to supply. ”

Sanniang bowed her head with satisfaction, and finally said: "The military horses of the Liaojin North Face Clan are very good at detours and cut off people's grain routes, if you transport grain and grass by land here, you must pay attention to sending cavalry to escort you." Zhu Wu responded, and said: "Now that the Northwest War has started, the lord has also laid a chess piece in Huazhou, it is Shi Dalang and them, do you need to use it?" ”

Sanniang's eyes flashed, and then she smiled slightly: "Shi Dalang, I have other arrangements here, so I won't participate in this battle in Shanxi." ”

After the arrangement was made here on the Shandong Road, three days later, five generals, Yang Zhi, Hao Siwen, Xuanzan, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang, lit up their military horses, and together with Ruan Xiaoqi's naval army, they took 200 large and small warships along the canal into the Yellow River waterway to look at Shanxi.

On the other hand, it was said that Zong Han ordered people to go around to inquire about the movements of the Song army, and also found out the movements of the rest of the Song army's reinforcements. One of the roads is the Song army led by the seed division, the seed division was born in the family of generations of generals, grandfather Shiheng and brother Seed Master Dao are famous generals of the Northern Song Dynasty, he led the troops from Hebei Jingcheng into Shanxi Pingding, and soon recovered Shouyang and Yuci, but because Yao Gu and Zhang Haojun did not respond in time, the middle of the seed division returned to Hebei Zhending to station.

Zong Han keenly judged that the middle part of the seed division was the strongest support army in the Song army to relieve the siege and reinforcements, so he secretly prepared to raise troops to attack the seed division in the south, but the soldiers in the seed division were careful, and the rest of the Song army did not advance, so he would rather retreat than go deep alone, so that Zong Han was a little difficult to start.

At this time, Song Ting's side helped Jin Jun a lot. Out of distrust of the generals, Song Qinzong still had the old habit of sending the important minister Xu Han as the supervisor of the various departments in the division. Because Zong Han secretly mobilized military horses to the south, the Song army did not know, Xu Han only heard that Zong Han was still herding horses in the clouds, and Zong Han spread the news everywhere, saying that the Jin army was going to withdraw troops, Xu Han mistakenly thought that the Jin people were going to withdraw their troops, for his own merits, so he urged the army to enter the division many times, and even blamed him for holding heavy troops but staying and watching.

The planter could not withstand the urging of the supervising army, so he was forced to leave behind the heavy grain and grass, set off lightly, and at the same time agreed that the two armies of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao would go their separate ways. Soon, the advance of the middle of the division entered the stone bridge twenty miles away from Taiyuan, and then because of the Yinshu Ke Division, it was difficult to meet with the Liangshan Song army on the bank of the Fenshui River, and the Chinese army reached the stone pit in Shouyang, because there was no resistance from the Jin army along the way, so that this veteran who had been on the battlefield for a long time committed the taboo of paralyzing and carelessness and neglecting guard.

On this day, after receiving the news that there were Jin soldiers attacking from Yuci, the seed division mistakenly thought that it was the scattered troops of the Jin army returning to the north, and was about to order the military horses to continue to move forward, but there were military horses to report, saying that more than 1,000 cavalry suddenly came to the Song army in Liangshan, and the seed division was overjoyed, and immediately summoned the generals who led the troops.

The guards led the general to look at it, but it was an old acquaintance, it was the blue-faced beast Yang Zhi who had been a commander. Yang Zhi stepped forward and hurriedly saluted, and said hurriedly: "Xiaozhong Xianggong, our army fought with the Jin people in Yuci, and the Jin army laid heavy troops there. ”

Hearing this, the seed master was shocked, and urgently ordered someone to investigate again, while joining forces with Yang Zhi to discuss countermeasures.

On the other side, Wanyan Zonghan led the army to prepare to ambush the middle of the division, but he didn't want to be led by Yang Zhi to disrupt the situation, but he had strong soldiers and horses, so he divided more than 10,000 military horses to entangle Hao Siwen, Xuanzan, Kong Ming, and Kong Liang's 9,000 Liangshan cavalry, and the rest of the soldiers and horses under his leadership rushed towards him with great momentum.

After Yan Zonghan led the Jin army to attack with 70,000 main forces, Yang Zhi had to command the Song army to respond to the battle suddenly, winning three battles in five battles. However, most of Zonghan's horses were cavalry, whistling back and forth like the wind, and Yang Zhi's cavalry was few, making it difficult to catch up. The seed division still decided to move forward according to the original strategy, otherwise the rest of the Song army of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao would become a lone army and be eaten by the Jin army. Therefore, the Song army in the middle of the division fought and walked, and Yang Zhi's cavalry army accompanied them, and they all worked hard to move forward.

However, after fifty miles of resistance against the Jin army, the middle division of the seed division still did not see the two Song armies of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao. It turned out that Jiao Anjie, the general of the Yao Gu Department who was afraid of the enemy, heard that the main force of the Jin army suddenly appeared, and Jiao Anjie, who was afraid of the enemy like a tiger, did not move, and communicated with Yao Gu and Zhang Hao.
