Chapter 7 Breaking the Enemy and Finding Faith Respect the Emperor and the Woman Only Serve the King
Outside the city, the 50,000 Jin army in Luoyang, where Zongwang left a guard, saw that Zongwang's main force was defeated, where did they dare to go out of the camp to fight? Wanyan Xiyin, who was left behind at the moment, urgently ordered all the troops to defend the camp, and sent people to open the camp gate to receive Zongwang and other defeated troops back to the camp.
Seeing that the Jin army was not in the camp, the seed division and Shi Jin discussed that the seed division led 50,000 military horses to besiege the Jin camp, and Shi Jin led the rest of the soldiers and horses to join the Sanniang department to continue the pursuit of the Jin army that had not yet fled back to the Jin camp.
After fighting for half a day, the Jin army outside the Jin camp had been completely annihilated, and less than 10,000 people fled back to the Jin camp, and Wanyan Zongwang's 170,000 army lost 110,000 at once. After Sanniang's department met with Shi Jin and the middle division of the seed division, he ordered to count the losses, and the soldiers entered Luoyang City to rest, and the outside of the city was handed over to the seed division and Shi Jin to lead the new army to besiege the Jin army.
Sanniang's department fought against the wind and rain for a day, the soldiers were exhausted, and after returning to Luoyang City, they couldn't help but sleep one by one, but Sanniang personally took the generals at all levels to patrol the camp, and ordered the military camp to boil ginger soup, and ordered each soldier to change his dry clothes and drink ginger soup to drive away the cold before he could sleep peacefully.
Sanniang knows very well that on the battlefield, the combat attrition caused by injuries and illness is no less than a vicious battle, and after the rain battle, it must be necessary to be sympathetic to the soldiers, take more precautions, and let the soldiers get less sick in order to maintain combat effectiveness. Sanniang personally inquired, because the generals of all the departments did not dare to slack off, and woke up all the soldiers under their command, changed their dry clothes, and then drank ginger soup, and then rested.
After Sanniang led Qiongying and other female soldiers to inspect the circle, she saw that the soldiers of all departments had changed their dry clothes, covered their heads with tiles, and drank ginger soup, and they all rested peacefully, and Sanniang took a breath. At that moment, he and Qiong Ying returned to the city mansion, changed their clothes, and drank some ginger soup to warm up.
When this was drinking, Sun An came to report that the losses of the various departments had been calculated, and there were more than 25,000 dead and wounded soldiers in this vicious battle, but fortunately, the Song army won a great victory, and most of the wounded soldiers were rescued. Sanniang heard this, and her heart ached, this is an elite soldier who has spent so much effort to train, it is not distressing, it is fake.
But Sanniang did not regret it, this field battle not only annihilated the main force of the Jin army, but also completely lost the possibility of getting out of the predicament, and the destruction of the elite corps of the Jin army in the south was a foregone conclusion. More importantly, through this field battle, it set up a very strong signal for the Shandong Road and the Song army of all roads, that is, the field battle of the Jin Army was not invincible, and the victory of the Song Army on the Shandong Road proved that as long as the training and command were proper, the Song Army could defeat the Jin Army by hand-to-hand combat, and it was still at a disadvantage in numbers.
Since ancient times, morale and courage have been very important in cold weapon warfare, and at the same time, confidence is also very important. Since the beginning of the Jin army, it has always been invincible, and it is even more invincible in the field against the Song army, which is to establish a strong self-confidence in the Song army. And the Song army and the Jin army are defeated, lose self-confidence, often cowardly before fighting, see the banner of the Jin army and feel that they can't win, psychologically lose half, how can this win the war?
This situation was the same for the Qing army against the Ming army at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Eight Banners were invincible and established strong self-confidence, but the Ming army became less and less confident the more they fought, and even to the point of hearing the Eight Banners. At this time, Sanniang had to fight hand-to-hand with the Jin army, she wanted to change the self-confidence contrast between the Song army and the Jin army through this battle.
After listening to Sun An's words, Sanniang invited him to drink a bowl of ginger soup, and the injured soldiers under his command have been properly settled, so Sanniang doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
When he was drinking, the female soldiers in the hall came to report, saying that the two of them, Shi Jin, who were planting teachers outside the city, came together to ask for a meeting. Sanniang was in a hurry to be introduced, and Sun An went to meet Sanniang with him. When I arrived outside the hall to pick up the seed master and Shi Jin, I saw that although the two of them were dusty, they were in good spirits, their faces were full of red light, and their spirits were good.
After seeing the ceremony, Sanniang introduced Sun An, and after returning to the hall and sitting down, the planter couldn't help but smile and said: "The generalissimo's demeanor is still the same, last year and the marshal fought the Jin people together in the Yellow River, which was a lifelong blessing, and this trip can fight the Jin people with the big handsome, the old man is really fortunate in three lives." ”
Sanniang said a few words humbly, turned her head to look at Shi Jin, and saw that he had grown a beard and looked much more stable.
The seed master said: "On the last trip to Shanxi, thanks to the rescue of the leader of the Lin sect under the command of the marshal, the old man was able to escape. Sanniang said modestly: "It's a pity that in Hebei, it is my lifelong regret that I failed to rescue the old master of the Dao Jingluo." ”
Hearing Sanniang mention her brother, her eyes turned red, and she sighed: "My brother knows that he can't do it, and he can be regarded as loyal to Zhao Song, but he can only hate the faint monarch and the ministers for misleading the country and harming the lives of many soldiers in vain." ”
Sanniang heard his resentful words, and knew that this person was available, and immediately comforted a few words, and said: "This trip to fight against the Jinren, there are many dead and wounded soldiers, I want to wait for the victory to return to the court, please ask the court to build a martyr's shrine, this time the soldiers can all enter the martyr's shrine to enjoy the sacrifice, and the family children will be well compensated by the court." Lao Jinglu is such a great general, I want to invite the court to posthumously present Lao Jinglu as a prince in recognition of his merits. ”
Hearing this, the seed master cried and worshipped: "Thank you Dashuai, since the death of my brother, the court has not said anything, but some traitorous ministers played, saying that my brother lost his teacher and lost his land, and he should not be compensated. ”
Sanniang hurriedly went down to help the planter, Shi Jin and Sun An were also good at comforting for a long time, and the planter calmed down. Finally, the teacher wiped away his tears and said: "In the future, it is a blessing for our generals to have a marshal in the DPRK and the central government, and the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty has more than 100,000 military horses and thirteen military states. ”
Sanniang's chin with a smile, Shi Jin looked at it on the side and thought secretly: "Senior sister's methods are getting more and more powerful, and it seems that the generals of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty have been subdued by the senior sister." ”
After sitting down again, Sanniang said: "Today's big victory over the Jin people, killing 110,000 Jin troops, the remaining tens of thousands of Jin troops have gone, our two armies have rested for two days, and when the weather is good, we can break through the camp in one fell swoop, completely annihilate this Dajin army and horses, and return the people of the world to a tranquility, and avenge the people of the world." ”
Three of the seed teachers said yes, and Sanniang continued: "After annihilating this Jin army, I plan to return to the dynasty with my division, and then prepare for the Northern Expedition to completely destroy the Jin State, so that I can completely stabilize the northern frontier." ”
Three of the planters all said: "But to go on a northern expedition, Gan is the forerunner." Sanniang said: "It's good to have this courage, but I look at the soldiers of the Western Army, although they are elite, but in terms of armament and training, there is still a gap between them and my Shandong Road soldiers. ”
When Shi Jin heard this, he secretly thought: "Senior sister, this is trying to take over the military power of the Western Army through the formation and training, I don't know what the division will think?" After hearing this, the face changed slightly, but then calmed down, got up and saluted Sanniang respectfully and said: "The soldiers and horses of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty are indeed inferior to the elite of the soldiers and horses of the Shandong Road, and they have fought before, and they have all been defeated. The marshal wanted to reorganize the military horses this time, and his subordinates naturally agreed. ”
Sanniang bowed her head and said: "That's good, the Western Army will ask the general to hand over to Shi Jin and Sun An to be trained, and the lack of weapons should be complete." And General Seed here, please take over the Ma Shuai Seal of my Shandong Road Army, and this last battle with the Jin Army will be handed over to General Seed to command. After I returned to the court, I also asked General Chong to lead the Shandong Road army and horses north to Shanxi first, and together with my senior brother Lin Chong, they swept up from Shanxi and launched a large-scale northern expedition. ”
Hearing this, the seed master was taken aback, although Sanniang here took away his military power, but handed over the elite military horses of Shandong Road to his own command, which shows trust, and the current seed master is naturally grateful. Shi Jin smiled secretly: "What a senior sister, such a trick, the general doesn't know that the logistics, baggage, and staff supply of my Shandong Road military horses are all in the hands of my senior sister, and the generals at all levels under his command are all senior sisters' old generals, even if they change the commander, it is okay, this commander has a second heart, and the military horses under his command will not go with him." ”
I only heard Sanniang say again: "On this Northern Expedition, I want to use the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty as the general reserve army and horses, so I will stay in the northwest, first, to guard against the Xia Kingdom, second, to reorganize and train, and third, to be the backup of the Northern Expedition." And this Northern Expedition, our country should take advantage of the situation to pursue, and take advantage of the annihilation of more than 200,000 elites of the Jin State to continue the Northern Expedition, not giving the enemy a chance to breathe. I wanted to invite the general to take command, lead the elite of my Shandong Road to the north of Shanxi, and join my senior brother Lin Chong's righteous army in Shanxi to form the Western Route Army of the Northern Expedition to the Jin Kingdom, and to expedition from the northwest of Shanxi. In addition, there are two Northern Expeditionary military horses, the East Road military horses, I am also ready here, that is, the elite military horses left in Shandong are trained into an army, and the sailors are transferred from the sea route to the direct Northern Expedition Dajin, and my junior brother Yue Fei is the commander, which is the East Route Army. It's just that this middle route army still has doubts. ”
The planter asked, "I don't know what difficulties the Middle Route Army has?" Sanniang said: "I originally wanted to teach me to send more than 50,000 people to the Guan Sheng Department in Hebei and the Hebei Righteous Army, together with the old general Zong Ze's Qinwang army horses, a total of 100,000 military horses, with General Zong Lao as the commander of the middle route army, Guan Sheng supplemented him, you can form a middle road army horse, and sweep the Jin army from Hebei all the way to the north." But I'm afraid that the old general of the sect has some doubts about my assignment. ”
After hearing this, the master smiled and said: "Don't worry, the marshal is close to the old general Zong, and I will go to repair the book and analyze the marshal with the old general." The old general is a person who understands the righteousness, naturally knows the general trend of the world, and should serve the country. ”
Sanniang smiled slightly when she heard this, noncommittal. On the side, Sun An suddenly said: "General, now that the second emperor has passed away, the clan has died, and the court has a new empress, what does the general think?" ”
Sun An suddenly said that the newly established empress came, and the planter was slightly stunned, but when he saw that Shi Jinchao made a look at himself, he already understood, and said calmly at the moment: "The second emperor set up this empress, it seems that it was also forced by the situation at that time, the old man guessed that the second emperor wanted to borrow the new emperor, but the Jin people no longer took the second emperor as a threat, and the court could have the new emperor as a hope, continue to fight against the Jin people, and after the Jin people retreated in the future, or pass the throne back." But it's a pity that the two emperors and the clan have passed away, and Zhao Song has no one to succeed. I heard that although this empress is benevolent and filial, she is not a talent for governing the country and the country, and she is young and virtuous, and she is a woman, so she is afraid that she will not be good for the country. The old man thought that even if he wanted to respect an empress, he should be a handsome talent. ”
