Speaking of which, Tong Guan's method is also quite lacking in morality, so he blatantly hired a group of idlers from three religions and nine streams, and promised them that he would find something wrong and reward them consistently. This can make a group of idlers excited, these three-minded and nine-rate idlers are usually interested in some messy things when they have nothing to do, if you let them carry a hoe on the city wall to defend against the enemy, it is definitely more than a pit person, but if they go to find a secret passage or ask whose widow steals the man, it is absolutely powerful. In this way, Tong Guan took advantage of the idle men in the city to find out the secret passage left by Yan Zongwang by the way, and by the way, he also filled in a few more wells. Wanyan Zongwang was very confident in his strategy, and he never imagined that he would be defeated by a group of idlers. Now it's no fun to opportunistically enter the city, but you can attack Nanjing City, and the loss will not lose what you can accept.

Compared with Wanyan Zongwang, Tong Guan is much more comfortable, as long as he sticks to Nanjing City and swears not to go out, he doesn't have to be afraid of anything. Isn't it just a turtle with a shrunken head, it's not once or twice when you become a turtle? Ye Luchun's only contribution is to build the city of Nanjing like an iron wall, with this strong city, the Jurchens will fight as many as they come. If you have to worry about anything else in spring and summer, but now in the middle of winter, the river has already formed a thick layer of ice, and even if you want to flood the city, there is no chance. So, Tong Guan is not worried at all, as long as it is so consumed, who is afraid of whom? You have the ability to confront Yan Zongwang for a year and a half? Tong Guan knows the situation of Dajin Kingdom too well, the drought in the past two years has been severe, and there is a snowstorm at the end of the year, and the Jurchens who are short of food are about to kneel on the ground and cry grandma, so can they confront each other for a long time? In Tong Guan's mind, Wanyan Zongwang will have to retreat sooner or later!

Jizhou city. Wanyan Zong looked at how sad. Just look at his messy hair. The Jurchens don't have many appearances, but Wanyan Zongwang is an exception, he pays a lot of attention to appearance, and it is still rare to see him like this when he doesn't dress up for several days. Walking around the house, Wan Yan Gao was about to be stunned by this nephew. Wanyan Zongwang didn't want to wait too long, wait until someone Zhao solved the Tubo people, waved his troops eastward, and grabbed a deal with Dajin State? I wasn't worried about the surname Zhao stopping Dajin from going south. I'm afraid that this guy will come to reap the benefits, why should the benefits of the Dajin Kingdom be shared with Zhao Yougong?

Wan Yan Gao also pondered hard, can he not know the predicament that Dajin Guo is facing now? Now Wanyan Zongwang has just succeeded the Khan, although those tribes are obedient on the surface, it is difficult to say whether they are really convinced, plus the Dajin country is short of food. Therefore, whether it is to boost prestige or let the Dajin Kingdom survive this winter safely, it is necessary to start a war. This war can only be won, not lost. Inexplicably, Wan Yan Gao thought of something. He came to the desk and spread out the map to look at it, then slapped his head and laughed, "There is, there is!" ”

Wan Yan Gao laughed loudly, but Wan Yan Zongwang was scared enough, he breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly asked, "Uncle, what good way have you thought of?" ”

"No, we're all a little brainless, why do we want to attack Nanjing City desperately? Let's not fight Nanjing, put most of the soldiers and horses in the south, storm Wuqing, and then attack the territory of Cangzhou, hum, but to see if the Han people can still sit still? ”

After Wan Yan Gao finished speaking, Wan Yan Zongwang was taken aback, he shook his head, and said in disbelief, "Uncle, isn't this too risky?" If the southerners concentrate troops and horses from Shandong and Hebei to block Cangzhou, and Tong Guan sends a large army to occupy Jizhou in Wuqing and cut off our back road, then my Jurchen warriors will suffer heavy losses. ”

In fact, what Wan Yan Gao said did mean that there was a lonely army going deep, and it was no wonder that Wan Yan Zongwang was surprised. Wan Yan Gao was not in a hurry, he sat in the chair and took a sip of tea, "No, you didn't do things so rigid before." It is indeed very risky to bypass Nanjing, defeat Wuqing, and directly enter Cangzhou, but do you think the current Great Song Dynasty officials have the courage to requisition the army from the south to the north? I'm afraid, he blames Tong Guan more for why he let my army enter Cangzhou, and then, Bacheng will issue a holy decree to force Tong Guan to go out of the city and fight a decisive battle with our army, haven't you been looking forward to the Han people leaving Xijin Mansion? ”

Well? Wanyan Zongwang completely understood Wanyan Gao's intentions, it seems that Jiang is still old and spicy, why didn't he think of this? Zhao Ji is not Zhao Yougong, cautious, but he is so happy and loves face, if the warriors of the Dajin Kingdom break Wuqing and approach Cangzhou, it will definitely cause a panic to the Song Dynasty, and the face of Zhao Guanjia will definitely be dull. How will Zhao Ji choose? Hehe, if he knew about the increase in troops, he would not be suppressed by Zhao Yougong and couldn't raise his head. Zhao Ji can never distinguish between priority and priority, his face is damaged, and he has no courage to transfer the soldiers and horses south of the Yangtze River, so he must have Tong Guan to find a way, and even force Tong Guan to go out of the city for a decisive battle.

If you think of it, you will do it, Wanyan Zongwang feels that what his uncle said is very right, since he became the king of Khan, his mind has been much less impulsive than before, and he is too careful. On the other hand, Zhao is always conspiring, although he is adventurous, the effect is very good, if it weren't for Yang Zaixing's troops out of Sangdan Kangsang Snow Mountain, he would have been able to take Namco so quickly? If you want to take Nanjing City, you have to take some risks.

Finding his own soldiers, Wanyan Zongwang removed an arrow, and said with a stern expression, "Immediately hurry up and rush to the north of Nanjing, tell the marshal Wanyan Zonghan, and march eastward from Shunzhou from now on, arrive at Xianghe, bypass Nanjing, and be sure to give Ben Khan Wuqing City within two days." ”

In the evening, Wanyan Zonghan got the order from Jizhou, and he was a little puzzled about the military order of Wanyan Zongwang, but he did not dare to question the military order. In the early years, he fought with Wanyan Sheng, and he was not close to Wanyan Zongwang, so Wanyan Zonghan was also cautious, for fear of making a big mistake. However, Wanyan Zonghan was one of the few Jurchen masters in the art of war, and he quickly figured out the key.

More than 20,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses stationed in Shunzhou City that day suddenly separated more than 10,000 people from the city and went eastward. Xianghe is a small city, because the geographical location is not important, so Tong Guan did not send many people to garrison, only left a thousand soldiers and horses symbolically garrisoned. Almost 30,000 soldiers of the Jin Kingdom suddenly killed at night, how could they hold it close to a thousand soldiers? It's just the blink of an eye. The Song army withdrew from the city. Gave way to the Xianghe. When the Xianghe fell. Tong Guan didn't even understand what the Jurchens were going to do. In the evening, after Yan Zonghan led the troops out of the city, the news soon spread to the city of Nanjing, and Tong Guan wondered at that time, what did Yan Zonghan do to the east? What happened next made Tong Guan even more confused, more than 30,000 troops besieged Xianghe, hell, what are the Jurchens going to do when they conquer Xianghe, is there food and treasure buried under Xianghe City?

If Tong Guan is just confused at this time. What happened the next day was shock, the Jurchens did not stay after the Xianghe River, and then went south to storm Wuqing City, in the face of the onslaught of more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of the Jurchens, Wuqing City only lasted for two hours and then fell. It was only at this time that Tong Guan somewhat understood what the Jurchens were going to do, this was to go south to Cangzhou. Knowing the intentions of the Jurchens, many generals in Nanjing City laughed heartily, and some even scolded Yan Zongwang for being kicked in the head by a donkey, so he went to Cangzhou. Didn't you take the initiative to dig into your pocket? At that time, the Nanjing army went out of the city to occupy Wuqing and block the back road. The imperial court sent a large army to garrison the Baigou River, and at that time, there was no need to attack, and the more than 30,000 Jurchen barbarians could starve to death on the north bank of the Baigou River. The lonely army is deep, the baggage is insufficient, and the grain road is not guaranteed, why is it so wrong to finish Yan Zongwang?

Unlike those generals in the army, Tong Guan's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, his brows were tangled, and his hands kept pulling those precious yellow beards. Tong Guan is a favorite minister of the official family, and he is too clear about the thoughts of the official family, the official family will not send reinforcements, and the more than 100,000 troops from Nanjing City are enough for the official family. An army of 100,000 can't stop the Jurchens, that is, they are incompetent. The official family doesn't know the situation in Hebei, let alone what war is, he has never been to the north in his life, how can he know how big Hebei is? It is not difficult for 100,000 troops to hold Nanjing, but the problem is that Hebei is so big that it is impossible to garrison every place impregnable. The Jurchens don't fight with you, they take a long detour, and they are not even afraid of cutting off the back road, they just want to go around and fight somewhere else, what can you do? Don't say 100,000 people, it's 200,000 people, people don't fight you, and you are also an empty decoration. Hey, such a simple truth, the official family doesn't know, with his poor military talent, he must think that an army of 100,000 will definitely be able to defeat the Jurchens.

Tong Guan knew how difficult the predicament he was facing, and the Jurchens' move was tantamount to forcing the imperial army near Nanjing to go out of the city for a decisive battle, but how sure was it that he really set up a decisive battle? The cavalry of the Jurchens trembled even when the Khitans saw it, how could they resist with the tens of thousands of foot soldiers under their hands? After thinking about it, Tong Guan finally made up his mind to send a letter to Bianliang. Whether it works or not, let's talk about the current situation, as for whether the officials listen to it or not, it depends on the will of God.

Tong Guan's letter and the letter from Hebei arrived in Bianliang before and after, at noon, Zhao Ji was holding his youngest son Zhao Xi playing, next to Xiao Liu Concubine holding a guqin, listlessly playing. Yang Lian walked into the house with a small step, first bowed, and then quietly handed Xiao Concubine Liu a good expression. Concubine Liu wondered, could it be that the wrongdoer solved the Tubo people? So Concubine Liu also came to the side, hugged her son and looked at the emergency report, and after reading it, she was disappointed, her feelings were not about the enemy, but about the Jurchen Wanyan Zongwang. In fact, the content of the emergency report is very simple, and Concubine Liu only glanced at it and understood what was going on. At this time, don't think about anything, just concentrate most of the soldiers and horses, and trap these Jurchen soldiers and horses in the area from Baigou River to Nanjing City, with these 30,000 people, you can force Yan Zongwang to post more soldiers and horses. Now Wanyan Zongwang has taken the initiative to reveal a big flaw, as long as he does it well, he can swallow most of the soldiers and horses of the Dajin Kingdom in one breath, and from now on, the Dajin Kingdom will become a small Jin country. It's a pity, the official family won't do this, of course, if the official family also has the ability of the enemy, it is estimated that the Jurchen barbarians would not dare to do this, and in the face of people like the official family, Wanyan Zongwang would dare to sell such a big flaw.

As Concubine Liu thought, Zhao Ji was angry, but he was so angry that he was not Wanyan Zongwang, but Tong Guan, "How can this be reasonable, how can this be reasonable, how did this Tong Guan do it?" I gave him more than 100,000 troops, and I was able to let the Jurchens capture Wuqing, what use do I want him? ”

Zhao Ji slapped the table, jumping like thunder, the roar scared the children into crying, Xiao Concubine Liu was disdainful in her heart, and on the grounds of fear that the child would be frightened, she hugged Zhao Xi and went elsewhere. This official family is high up, I don't know what the reality is, Tong Guan has an army of more than 100,000 people, but he guards an important area near Nanjing. Wuqing and Xianghe have long been out of Nanjing. An army of more than 100,000 people. If you can really win the Jurchens in the field. These hundreds of thousands of troops are effective and effective troops, in order to defend the entire Hebei, the problem is to leave the city, can not defeat the Jurchens, in this way, what is the use of looking like a lot of people?

Tong Guan's letter was a request for reinforcements, and in the letter, Tong Guan analyzed the whole thing very clearly. The problem is that the Zhao Guanjia can't see it, and instinctively thinks that an army of more than 100,000 will definitely be able to defeat more than 30,000 Jurchen barbarians. slapped Tong Guan's letter on the table, and almost jumped to his feet and scolded angrily, "Reinforcements, reinforcements, where are the reinforcements, isn't it enough to have an army of more than 100,000?" Yang Lian immediately drafted an order, ordering the Nanjing side to do everything possible to recover Wuqing to avoid causing greater panic. ”

"Yes, yes, the official family is angry. The little one sent someone to pass the decree" As soon as she left the Nuanxiang Pavilion, Yang Lian almost didn't laugh out loud. Even he, who doesn't know about military affairs, thinks that what Tong Guan said makes sense, but the officials can't listen to it. Is it powerful when there are many people? If there were more people than people, the Great Song Dynasty should have destroyed the Khitan barbarians, but the fact is that the Great Song Dynasty was pressed by the Great Liao every year, even if the Liao Dynasty fell, it would be the end of the joint strangulation of the Guanzhong Dingguo Army and the Jurchens. The Jurchens are stronger than the Khitans, why can't the officials recognize this, and they always expect Tong Guan to take the initiative to attack and beat the Jurchen barbarians back.

The generals of the various departments in Nanjing City were eager to fight, Tong Guan had to find a way to suppress these generals who were eager to fight, and the holy decree of Bianliang arrived two days later, Tong Guan could only smile bitterly after seeing the expected holy decree. Out of town to fight? I really don't have any confidence at all, I can be sure that as long as the army goes out of the city, Wanyan Zongwang, who is waiting in Jizhou City, will definitely transfer all the remaining soldiers and horses of Dading Mansion to the vicinity of Nanjing, and then Wanyan Zongwang hopes to gather seventy or eighty thousand people in a short period of time, and it seems that the Great Song Dynasty has a numerical advantage, but in terms of combat effectiveness, it is simply a heaven and a place. After getting the holy decree, Tong Guan agreed on the surface, but he did not go to war for various reasons, either saying that the soldiers were tired and needed to recuperate, or that they needed to prepare food and grass. As long as it is far away from Nanjing, he will directly transfer a large army to attack Jizhou and besiege Yan Zongwang. Tong Guan's procrastination trick is not bad, and it really gave Wan Yan Zongwang a headache at the beginning, but how long can this procrastination trick be played?

The situation in Nanjing is aside, let's talk about the situation in Amdo City, it is now the tenth day of the lunar month, His Royal Highness Zhao is wrapped in a cloak and sits in the house to roast the fire, the wind and snow weather on the Tubo Plateau is really not something that ordinary people can withstand, not to mention the poet now, even the war horses have begun to have problems, in order to avoid greater problems, the cavalry has retreated to Namco, leaving only a few hundred people as scouts. Taking Amdo City is just the beginning, and the next thing is Luo Some City, but before that, Damu City must be solved first, as long as Damu City is taken, you can connect Amdo City, Damu City, Naxue City and Gamatanza City, and you will no longer be afraid of instability in the rear.

Damu City is a very wonderful place, there are few plains on the Tubo Plateau, but near Damu City is a hundred miles of flat fertile soil, a hundred miles of plains, and the world of cavalry galloping, and Damu City is active in the Tubo country's most brave and good fighting 10,000 Ye Ruwei iron cavalry. Damu, derived from the ancient Sumerian civilization, is a mythological deity in charge of plants and reincarnation, and is a unique god of health in Sumerian mythology. The name of Damu Castle is so that Damu Castle will always be safe and secure from disasters. For hundreds of years, nothing happened to Damu City, but now, it is necessary to leave a black trace on this ancient civilized city.

If you want to fight Damu City, you must first think about how to deal with Ye Ruwei's iron cavalry, tens of thousands of cavalry, but it is not so easy to deal with. Sometimes I have to sigh at the inferior nature of human beings, I don't dare to do anything, I am always full of intrigue, the Great Song Dynasty is vying for fame and fortune, and the same is true for the Tubo people, if it weren't for the fact that Urtu, the lord of Damu City, had a holiday with Celeban, maybe it would take a lot more effort to take Amdo City. As for what holidays Salban and Urtu have, it is even more interesting, I heard that Cellban relied on his good looks back then to rob the woman Urtu liked.

"Official, a few days ago, Nanjing sent a message, Wanyan Zongwang's actions have been getting faster and faster recently, we have to hurry up, how to fight this Damu City, you have to make a decision!"

"Why, my eldest princess, do you really regard this king as an almighty god? If you say there is a way, you can have a way? Zhao Yougong picked up the coals, and the boss was unhappy, but after speaking, he was stunned, he looked at Xiao Zhiyun, and then threw away the iron rod that picked up the brazier, clapped his hands and smiled, "There is really a way, don't the Tubo people fear the gods, this time I will play a big dance god for him!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Yougong clasped his hands together and silently thought in his heart, great Sumerian gods, it is up to you whether you can take Damu City this time.

In Sumerian mythology, the god Tian'an was the supreme god in Mesopotamian worship, who ruled over the heavens and the earth, protected the gods, and presided over justice. The myth of Tibet also has many things in common, but the most popular is the legend of the witch, in which the witch is raging, the ice and snow are continuous, causing countless deaths of cattle and sheep. It was later that the Buddha was born and melted the witch with the Buddha's light, and the dissolved witch was suppressed under the Jokhang Temple pagoda, and Princess Wencheng and Songtsen Gampo were beautified as the Buddha's messengers.

Of course, most of this myth was made up by Songtsen Gampo in order to consolidate the ruling power, but the Tibetan people are superstitious and believe in the legend of the witch and the Buddha, and what His Royal Highness Zhao has to do is to use the hands of the gods to fool the Tibetan people again.

Chapter 701

In the city lord's mansion of Amdo City, Zheng Biao was wearing a wide robe, and his hair was also cleaned. Now Zheng Biao's expression is more depressed and depressed, His Royal Highness Zhao commanded a few words from time to time, Zheng Biao made some postures, but most of the time it caused His Royal Highness Zhao to be very dissatisfied, "Hey, Biaozi, didn't this king say you, your old man doesn't even understand the monk's sitting meditation?" Didn't you go to Huichang Temple to see what the monks did with you, what is going on with your hands, quickly put it away, pinch the trick, raise your face, pretend to be holy, high monk, high monk, this king asked you to pretend to be the Buddha, not to let you pretend to be the old monster of Montenegro. ”

was pointed at by His Royal Highness Zhao, Zheng Biao opened his mouth, raised his left hand slightly, lowered his right arm, and the whole person was about to cry, "Your Highness, don't toss your subordinates, you really can't do this job, let's find Shao Lie, Shao Lie is a talent, a clever person, and more wise, or Shao Lie is a good person, his subordinates are used to staying in the mountains, and they can pretend to be an old monster in Montenegro." ”

Zheng Biao beats the snake with the stick, isn't it the old monster of Montenegro, admit it, this fucking pretending to be a Buddha is even more uncomfortable than fighting a vicious battle. Yang Zaixing was standing next to him watching the excitement, and when he heard Zheng Biao's words, he was almost so frightened that he ran away, "Biaozi, you fought for it yourself, no one forced you, you don't have anything to do with it." ”

was ridiculed by Yang Zaixing for a while, Zheng Biao was neither noisy nor noisy, and blamed him for being too reckless. At that time, His Royal Highness said that there was a great merit to teach everyone, and a group of people sat firmly like a clock, so he Zheng Biao volunteered urgently, and as a result, he didn't know what to do until he got the matter. If you want to know what kind of Buddha is playing tricks, he will not fight. Hey, I really blame myself, I won't be so reckless in the future, even if I grab the credit, I have to wait for His Highness to finish speaking, now it's okay, my hair has been shaved, and I have to do this and that according to the requirements.

Zheng Biao retreated, where did His Royal Highness Zhao allow, patted Zheng Biao's shoulder and continued to comfort, "Biaozi, don't be like this, you have to know whether you can complete the task smoothly, but it is related to whether you can beat Damu City." You can rest assured, as long as you do things well, when you break Damu City, this king will give you the first credit, but if you fail to break Damu City, you kid will go to this king to find the old man to feed the horses! ”

Feed the horses? Zheng Biao almost didn't sit on the ground, the old man is a famous horseman in the Dingguo Army, and he never expected to walk out of the stable and find the old man in his life, wouldn't he have to have no chance of fighting for the rest of his life? Under the rectification of His Royal Highness Zhao's carrots and sticks, Zheng Biao finally obeyed. (To be continued......)
