The generals agreed together, and Zong Han said: "I heard that the Song Army and Naval Division on Shandong Road are also extremely elite, how should I deal with it?" Yinshu Ke said: "Although his navy is elite, he needs to take the waterway, I wait on the shore, and he naturally has nothing to do with me." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info If he wants to cut off his waterways, after going south, he will capture all the important places along the Yellow River, destroy all the ferries and wharves, and block the waterways with bamboo cages and stones in the narrow waterways, and many of his ships will not be able to enter calmly. ”

Zong Han bowed his head and said: "That's right! Only then did he get up, pointed to the map, and said: "This time, our army has two purposes, one of which is to attack the Zhulu Military Prefecture in the west of the Song Dynasty, and then go south to meet the division and Bianliang City. The second is to intercept the elite western army of the Song army from advancing eastward to King Qin of Bianliang. If you want to achieve these two goals, how do you think you should use troops? ”

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Our army has 160,000 people, and the troops are abundant, and when we attack in multiple ways, it is difficult to teach the Song army to take care of the beginning and end, and the Song Dynasty military state on all roads in Shanxi is expected to fall in less than a month." It is expected that if the Song army is defeated, it will only shrink its forces and concentrate on Taiyuan and other fortified cities to hold on to wait for reinforcements, and our army cannot spend time with the enemy under the fortified city, so we should continue to use the city lock method to besiege the enemy, divide 30,000 or 40,000 troops to surround the fortified cities everywhere, and the rest of the soldiers and horses can continue to move south. ”

Wan Yan Lou continued: "After going south, when we capture the ferries along the Yellow River as soon as possible, and then divide a partial division to capture Luoyang and Tongguan, and hold Tongguan, we can intercept the elite western army of the Song Dynasty from going out of Tongguan to rescue Kaifeng, and the main army and horses can continue to march east and hunt Kaifeng with Zongwang's department." ”

Zong Han smiled and said: "The two of you agree with me, and what you want in this battle is a quick word!" First go south quickly, the army and horses of all roads will divide their troops to attack the military states of Shanxi, and then occupy various ferries on the east bank of the Yellow River, and the partial division will also quickly go south to attack Luoyang and Tongguan, so that when the enemy has not yet sorted out the army and horses, he can take the initiative! If you meet a strong city in this battle, you can't stalemate with it under the strong city, what I want is a quick word! Remember! "All the golden generals said yes!

At that moment, Zong Han sent Yinshu Ke to lead 30,000 military horses to the south to attack Taiyuan, and the other way Wanyan Xiyin led 30,000 military horses to attack Fenzhou from the west road to the south and then attack the Zhulu ferry on the east bank of the Yellow River, and the other route was led by Wanyan Lou Room, and attacked Jinzhou from the middle road, and then drove south to cross the Yellow River to take Luoyang and occupy Tongguan.

This trip to the Jin army not only has strong soldiers and horses, as many as 160,000, but also Zonghan is ruthless with soldiers. The day after Yinshu could send troops from Yunzhong Mansion, he defeated Zhang Hao's Song army in Wenshui, and then approached Taiyuan City within a few days. Lin Chong, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Liu Tang, Li Kui, etc., who led the rebel army in Fenzhou, were not prepared, and when they got the news, Lin Chong hurriedly ordered Liu Tang and Li Kui to rush to Taiyuan to rescue, and ordered the Liangshan Song army, which was scattered in various military states, to cover the military and civilians in various places to withdraw to Fenzhou, and if the road was blocked, they would first withdraw into the mountain. When Liu Tang and Li Kui arrived in Taiyuan, the Jin army had already besieged Taiyuan City.

Then the bad news kept coming, after Liu Tang and Li Kui led the troops away, the Jin general Wanyan Xiyin led the army to besiege Fenzhou, and the Fenzhou Lin Chong Department was holding on and was fighting with the Jin army, and most of the Lin Chong Department was scattered in various prefectures and counties in Shanxi, and it was necessary to cover the soldiers and civilians everywhere to avoid the war, and it was difficult to gather soldiers and horses for a while, and it was very hard to engage in the battle. The Jin army was powerful, and although the Liangshan Song army, which was scattered in various prefectures and counties, expanded many rebel armies in a few months, with more than 10,000 people and as few as 35,000 people, they were all uneven, not elite, and did not dare to fight with the Jin army, so they took the initiative to cover the people to withdraw into the mountains, or rely on the fortified city to hold on. The Jin army swept all the way south, fighting the cities that could be beaten, and taking a detour if they couldn't, without entanglement at all.

Liu Tang and Li Kui could not advance or retreat under the city of Taiyuan, and after the two discussed, they suddenly led the army to attack the Jin army on the second night of the left side of Taiyuan, and more than 15,000 horses fought all night, with more than 3,000 casualties, and most of the casualties were the newly recruited rebels in Shanxi. After a night of fierce fighting, the two stubbornly led the army into the city from the south gate, and joined forces with Wang Yu and others to defend Taiyuan.

Fortunately, after the last trip to relieve the siege, Sanniang sent a lot of grain and grass equipment to hoard in Taiyuan, which was enough for the people of Taiyuan and 50,000 troops for half a year, and there were only more than 20,000 defenders in the city, plus Liu Tang and Li Kui's army and horses, which were only more than 30,000 people, which was enough for half a year. With the help of Liu Tang and Li Kui, Wang Yu, Zhang Xiaochun and the Taiyuan military and civilians were even more convinced that Taiyuan could be held. But then the development of things was unexpected, the Jin army did not attack Taiyuan at all, but only used the city lock method to besiege Taiyuan, but the rest of the Jin army still bypassed Taiyuan and went south.

Autumn wood Xiaoxiao, yellow leaves full of sky, Taiyuan city inside and outside a sense of slaughter. For several days in a row, Wang Yu, Zhang Xiaochun, Liu Tang, and Li Kui all went to the city to look, only to see the Jin army's soldiers and horses covering the sky and the sun from outside the city of Taiyuan to the south, outside the city the Jin army arranged several blockade lines, and arranged many joint camps to besiege Taiyuan, the military horses in the city were difficult to fight, so they had to watch the Jin army go south.

Outside the city of Taiyuan, the original Liangshan Song army built the Fenshui camp and other camps, only because the Liangshan military horses retreated to Fenzhou, all handed over to Wang Yu's army and horses to guard, but unfortunately the Jin army attacked suddenly, the outside of the city to guard the large battalion soldiers and horses were few, and the preparation was not sufficient, it was to be broken through the camp by the Jin army, and Wang Yu's department was not as good as the elite of Liangshan military horses, so after resisting for two days, they had to give up the camp outside the city and retreat to the city to defend. For this reason, Wang Yu's troops paid the price of 5,000 Song troops killed, but they could not wait for the reinforcements of Liu Tang and Li Kui's troops. After Liu Tang and Li Kui arrived, the Jin army had already cleared the periphery of Taiyuan, and the two had to fight through the siege before they could enter the city and defend together.

Looking at the banner of the Jin army outside the city that covered the sky and the sun, Li Kui shouted angrily: "Straight lady thief, wait for me to lead the three thousand troops out to kill for a while, so as to teach these golden dogs to know that our Han people in the Central Plains are not muddy!" ”

Liu Tang hurriedly stopped and said: "There are several entrenchments outside the city, can you kill them with 3,000 soldiers?" The only plan now is to stick to Taiyuan, and wait for Lin Jiaotou to gather soldiers and horses to relieve the siege of Fenzhou, and then come to relieve the siege of Taiyuan. If Taiyuan is lost because of our carelessness, it will be a bad thing! ”

Wang Yu also said: "The Jin army is strong, out of the city field battle, the strength is not enough, there are some firearms in the city, but also used to defend the city, if the city is defeated, this Taiyuan city can not be defended, who can protect the lives of more than 100,000 people in the city?" ”

persuaded Li Kui, although Li Kui has been trained by Sanniang and heard and seen, and has learned more about the art of war, and his temper has been restrained a lot, but this trip saw Jin Jun so proud, and he still couldn't swallow this breath in his heart.

Zhang Xiaochun frowned and said: "This time the Jin army is not entangled in Taiyuan, but most of them are going south, this is really bold Yan Zonghan, he is not afraid that after his main force goes south, all the departments of our army will gather together to attack and cut off his back road?" ”

Wang Yu sighed and said, "He went all the way south, and he must have gone to open the seal." Once Kaifeng is lost, our army will inevitably be leaderless, and he will win half of it. Moreover, all the way south here, all of them are my Great Songzhou County, even if the back road is broken, he only needs to loot all the way to protect the grain and grass, why do you need a back road? When Kaifeng is defeated, he can also withdraw his troops from the east road, and there is no need to go back to the north by the old road. I'm just worried about the official family, there are not many soldiers and horses in Kaifeng, and most of the Qinwang soldiers and horses have been dismissed, how can I withstand the many military horses of the Jin army. ”

Li Kui snorted and said, "That emperor Lao'er suffered by himself, and he deserved this catastrophe!" If you don't listen to the words of these many loyal ministers and good generals, and only listen to those traitors and villains, you will lose your country, and you will also ask for it! ”

Wang Yu smiled bitterly: "I can only say it like this, after all, he is the son of the official family." Think about the small kind of Xianggong, the elite of the Western Army is not the opponent of the Jin Army's field battle, and now the only one who can turn the tide is the Shandong Road Army Horse, I wonder if the Shandong Road Army Horse will go to Qinwang this time? ”

Zhang Xiaochun sighed: "I'm afraid it's difficult, even if the Kaifeng military horses are empty, I'm afraid that the official family will not agree to the Shandong Road military horses to enter the king of Jingqin." As long as there are traitors and villains around the official family to say a word, the official family will not dare to summon the Shandong army and the king of Ma Qin. ”

Liu Tang asked, "What words?" Zhang Xiaochun looked at the Jin army outside the city with a few eyes, and said word by word: "Don't you see the chaos of Dong Zhuo in the Three Kingdoms?" Hearing this, the muscles on Wang Yu's face twitched, and he said after a moment of silence: "Then the Great Song Dynasty has only lost the country." "All the guards and officials in Taiyuan at the head of the city are speechless.

At this time, I saw that a group of quail-clad people suddenly appeared in the ranks of the Jin army, and the cavalry of the Jin army drove forward in all directions, as if driving cattle, seeing this, Li Kui was furious, and asked: "How did these golden dogs rob so many people?" Wang Yu couldn't bear to speak, Zhang Xiaochun sighed and said: "The Jin people kidnapped the population as slaves, and often carried the population of the enemy country with the army, the men were used for coolies, building barracks, carrying grain and grass, etc., and the women were washing and cooking, and they were entertaining the camp prostitutes at night." ”

When Li Kui heard this, he was so angry that he had to open his halberd, and his black face was even more red and black. I saw that in the people's team, several women walked slowly, and were immediately whipped down by the leather whip of the Jin cavalry, and those women were whipped open and cried for mercy, but those Jin army cavalry laughed and were happy.

Li Kui was furious, only to feel that he couldn't bear it anymore, and saw two Han men in the other team of people saw the Jin soldiers whipping the Han women, so they rushed out and shouted and scolded, several Jin soldiers were annoyed and angry, and the mace in their hands was immediately knocked down, and the two Han men were immediately smashed to the head and fell to the ground and died.

Seeing this, even if Li Kui wanted to go down to the city to tear up, Liu Tang ordered several iron guards to step forward and hold him down, and finally pulled him down from the city, not letting him watch this tragedy again, just afraid that if he watched it again, he would rush out desperately.

Wang Yu couldn't bear to see this scene, drew his sword and slashed at the city, this sword was extremely powerful, only to cut the gravel flying, sparks splashed everywhere, and scolded with hatred in his mouth: "I can only see the golden dog so cruel to the people, my generation of soldiers, all deserve to die!" Zhang Xiaochun sighed and comforted: "We still have to protect many people in Taiyuan City, how can we easily go out of the city and fight hard?" Liu Tang was also panicked, but when he thought that the lord and Lin Chong handed over this military horse to him and ordered him to lead the army to help defend Taiyuan City, he couldn't act impulsively no matter what, so he had to leave the city tower sullenly.
