Chapter 9 The soldiers were divided into two ways to attack and return at dusk, and the letters were three letters and the national war began

In the tent of the handsome, Sanniang was promoted to the general, and swore in public the will of the new monarch to fight against the Jinren, and when he wanted to lead the soldiers to expel the Jinren, the morale of the generals was suddenly high. Then Sanniang passed down the order and divided the generals.

At present, Sanniang will be among the 130,000 military horses of the Song army on Shandong Road, leaving Li Ying, Li Zhong, Zhou Tong, Yang Chun, and Chen Da, four generals, to lead 10,000 military horses to guard Dongluo County and protect the new monarch. Li Ying stepped forward to receive the order loudly, but he failed to fight on the front line, and Li Ying couldn't help but feel a little lost.

Sanniang saw Li Ying's expression, and comforted at the moment: "Dongwu County is the rear of our army, some of its money and grain are important, and the new monarch is stationed here, so it needs to be handed over to a safe person, brother must not be discouraged, when he has to fight the Yellow River and go straight to the Jinren Huanglong Mansion, he will teach his brother to be the vanguard." Hearing this, Li Ying rejoiced.

Sanniang also ordered the remaining 120,000 military horses to be divided into two, divided into two armies, the left and right armies, one army Sanniang personally commanded, and the other army handed over to Lu Junyi to command. Sanniang Commander-in-Chief Zuo Army Twenty-five Soldiers: Sun An, Tang Bin, Wen Zhongrong, Qiao Daoqing, Qin Ming, Huang Xin, Li Kui, Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu, Sun Xin, Sun Li, Ou Peng, Deng Fei, Bao Xu, Xiang Chong, Li Gon, Mu Chun, Kong Ming, Kong Liang, Ma Lin, Shi En, Xue Yong, Ling Zhen. Lu Xianfeng garrisoned 25 soldiers and horses: Bian Xiang, Deng Yuanjue, Lou Minzhong, Hu Yanzhuo, Dong Ping, Zhang Qing, Suo Chao, Xu Ning, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao, Han Tao, Peng Xi, Zheng Tianshou, Gong Wang, Ding Desun, Zou Yuan, Zou Run, Li Li, Li Yun, Jiao Ting, Shi Yong, Cao Zheng, Bai Sheng, Cai Fu, Cai Qing.

In this way, the troops were divided into two routes, and after teaching Lu Junyi to lead the right army out of Dongwu County, he directly attacked the east and north camps of the Jin army from the north of Kaifeng City, and Sanniang personally commanded the left army to bypass the south of Kaifeng City, and then directly attacked the west camp of the Jin army to cut off the return route of the Jin people.

Sanniang pointed to the map and said: "Now Kaifeng has moved the surface of the Yellow River, has been controlled by Li Jun's navy, if the Jin people are defeated, if they want to flee to the north, they can only retreat west, go to Luoyang, and cross the Yellow River at three ferries between Luoyang and Tongguan, including Fenglindu, and retreat from Shanxi to the north." Therefore, in this battle, our army not only had to defeat the Jin people, but also left all these Jin troops on the south bank of the Yellow River, so the left army had to cut off the Jin people's westward retreat, capture Zhongmu west of Kaifeng, and then gather with the right army to annihilate the Jin people under Kaifeng City! ”

When Lu Junyi and other generals heard this, they were all overjoyed, if the more than 200,000 elites of the Jin people were annihilated on the south bank of the Yellow River, then when they counterattacked Shanxi, Hebei and other places in the future, the Song army would be like a bamboo.

But Lu Junyi, Lou Minzhong and other senior generals also raised their own concerns, Lu Junyi said: "Our army has a total of 120,000 horses, and it must be divided into two armies, the left and right armies, and the enemy army is more than 200,000. ”

Sanniang waved her hand and said with a smile: "There is no need to worry about this matter, as early as five days ago, I had already sent a letter to Huazhou Shi, teaching him to raise 20,000 Huazhou rebels, and attack the Jin army in Tongguan, and cooperate with the Great Song Western Army in the division outside Tongguan to seize Tongguan, and then attack and occupy Fenglindu and other three ferries as soon as possible, cut off the way for the Jin people to flee north, and then march east and west with our two armies, and gather and annihilate the Jin people in the west of Tongguan. ”

Lu Junyi and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and at this time everyone understood why when Zhao'an was first recruited, Sanniang would teach Shi Jin and others to go back to Huazhou, where Shi Jin not only brought back the elite of the old people in Huazhou, but also familiar with the geographical advantages in Huazhou and other places. It seems that Sanniang had already calculated today's situation back then, and subdued Shi Jin's strange army.

Shi Jin there 20,000 military horses, are the elite Shaohua Mountain veterans, and familiar with the location, the Jin people are defenseless, a battle will be able to take Tongguan, and then let go of Tongguan to welcome the 80,000 elite Western army in the division into Tongguan, there will be 100,000 elite Song army, and Sanniang, Lu Junyi's army and horses are facing each other, the Jin army is afraid that the whole army will be annihilated.

Lou Minzhong's later followers didn't know about Shi Jin's ambush army, and Wen Zhongrong told Lou Minzhong about Shi Jin's strange army. Hearing this, Lou Minzhong was shocked, he didn't want this female feudal lord to be so good, and he laid such a chess piece a few years ago, and it was really far-reaching.

Then Sanniang said: "Kaifeng City, the Jin people still occupy the four city walls, before this battle, I will teach the Jin army in the internal should be launched, and the righteous army in my city will launch together to recapture the four city walls, in case those trebuchets at the head of the city get in the way when our army attacks the Jin people, and also prevent the Jin people from retreating into Kaifeng City to hold on." ”

When he heard that there was also an internal response in the Jin people, Lou Minzhong was even more surprised, thought about it, and immediately put forward his own suggestion: "Since the lord has an internal response in the Jin people, he can recapture Kaifeng, why don't he teach the army to cooperate with the internal response to recapture Kaifeng first, and then the left army passes through the city from Kaifeng and goes straight to the west camp of the Jin people, which can achieve miraculous results." ”

Sanniang shook her head and said: "I have thought about this move before, but now that Kaifeng has been besieged for several months, there will be many refugees in the city, and the streets are congested everywhere, it is difficult for the army to pass quickly, and it is also prominent from the west of the city. ”

Lou Minzhong suddenly realized, and they all praised Sanniang for thinking through and having no last resort. At the moment, Sanniang taught Li Jun to lead the four generals of Taihu Lake, that is, Fei Bao, the red bearded dragon, Ni Yun, the curly-haired tiger, the Jiao Buqing of Taihu Lake, and the thin-faced Xiong Di, who led the water army to the west along the Yellow River, swept the Qingshui Road, detained the ships along the coast, and cut off the way for the Jin people to cross the river.

After all the orders were decided, Sanniang's goddaughter generals Sun Erniang and Gu sister-in-law led the female army to guard the palace of the new monarch Zhao Huanhuan, and only ordered the county lord Qiong Ying to lead the elite 300 female soldiers to go with him, while Pang Qiuxia took the naval army grain ship to return to Shandong Road first.

After the generals received the order, they all went down to prepare, just because the left army wanted to make a detour, so after the left army was ready, it would start after noon, and according to the distance calculation, it would be possible to bypass Kaifeng City and arrive in the west of the city after one day, so Sanniang and Lu Junyi agreed that the two armies would start to launch a surprise attack on the Jin army together at the beginning of the afternoon tomorrow.

After all agreed, Sanniang wrote three letters, one was to Lin Chong's department still in Shanxi, teaching Lin Chong's department to counterattack Taiyuan, and then leading the army south, sweeping the remnants of the Jin army in the south of Shanxi.

The second letter was to Guan Sheng, who was in charge of the rebel army in Hebei, teaching him to send troops to counterattack Hejian Fu, Zhongshan Fu and other places, sweep away the Jin army in Hebei, and cut off the route for the Jin people to send reinforcements from the north.

The third letter was to Zhu Wu and Yue Fei on Shandong Road, and Sanniang still remembered the gambling match with Yue Fei at that time. These days, Yue Fei continued to deduce the strategy, from the Jin and Song countries of the population, economy, military strength, etc., have made a detailed analysis, and even how to occupy the land north of Yanjing in the future, how to divide the northern tribes, how to educate these tribes have been carefully considered, and for several days to use the flying pigeon to discuss this matter with Sanniang.

Sanniang was very pleased to see that Yue Fei had thought about it so carefully, so she stood on the successful historical experience of later generations, put forward many revisions, and improved Yue Fei's "Northern Xinjiang Military Strategy". Since Yue Fei had completed such a detailed strategy of sending troops to the north of Xinjiang at that time, Sanniang could also entrust Yue Fei with peace of mind.

So Sanniang's third letter was to Zhu Wu and Yue Fei, teaching Zhu Wu to hand over all the remaining 50,000 military horses on Shandong Road to Yue Fei, and Shandong Road armed the township soldiers from all over the country to guard the place, and handed over the field military horses to Yue Fei to take them, and the Sanruan fleet was transported by sea, straight into the Bohai Sea, and directly attacked Yanjing.

Under her arrangement, the battle of the Jin State is no longer limited to King Kaifeng Qin, but all battlefields across the country have launched a counteroffensive together, and it is bound to go down with a drum to defeat the Jin people. At this time, the Jin State had just defeated the Liao State and established the country, and a generation of male lords had passed away, so it was a good time to defeat the Jin State in one fell swoop.

It was Sanniang who taught Yue Fei to formulate a detailed northern strategy, not only to expel the Jin people, but to make Yue Fei and other generals clear that Sanniang wanted to destroy the Jin State, occupy the northern frontier, and eliminate the hidden dangers of the northern Xinjiang tribes that posed a great threat to the Central Plains in one fell swoop, laying a solid foundation for the rejuvenation of the Han people in the future.

In the history of later generations, Yue Fei also launched the Northern Expedition, but in the history of the Northern Expedition, although it was also a triumphant song all the way, but was later recalled by Zhao Gaozong of the Song Dynasty Thirteen Gold Medals, it seems that Zhao Gou spoiled the Northern Expedition, but in fact, the entire court of the Southern Song Dynasty, including Yue Fei himself, did not have a complete Northern Expedition strategy.

Because when Yue Fei went on several Northern Expeditions, he actually did not formulate a complete Northern Expedition strategy, although the last Northern Expedition shouted the slogan of smashing the Yellow Dragon, but in fact, including Yue Fei, no one in the Southern Song Dynasty court thought of a full range of strategies, these strategies include how to appease the people after recovering the lost land, the whole north at that time after several wars, the people are already miserable, if there is no complete strategy, the people on the recovered lost land are difficult to appease, and appeasement requires a huge amount of money and food. At that time, the people in the south of the Song State not only had to supply the Northern Expedition army, but also had to bear the burden of helping the people in the north, which was naturally overwhelming.

At the same time, after recovering the lost territory, and then attacking to the north, it is the hometown of the Liao State, and the people in those places, including the local people, are actually deeply hostile to the Song army. The reason is very simple, the people of the hometown of Liao have just experienced a war and settled down, so they naturally don't want to have another war, so they will naturally resist the invasion of the Song army, and at the same time, the Song Dynasty was treacherous and united with the Jin State to invade Liao, and the people of Liao actually hated the Song army more, so once they hit Yanjing, the local people will strongly resist, and the people in these places are more difficult to appease than the people who have lost their land.

Without adequate preparation and a complete pacification strategy, even if the Song army was able to capture some places, it would soon be defeated. But the current situation is different, the Liao State has just died, although the people of the Liao State hate the Song Army as much, but Sanniang had a good relationship with the people of the Liao State in Yanjing in the early years, and there are old acquaintances such as the King of Jin and Yelu Yujian in the Liao State, and they can appease the people through the old nobles of the Liao State, and at the same time, the uprisings against the Jin people in various parts of the Liao State at this time are continuous, and the Northern Expedition is at this time. And what about the money and food needed? The money and grain accumulated over the years on Shandong Road can provide part of it, and the other part is in Jinying, and the gold and silver money and grain looted by the Jin army are extremely large.
