At the beginning of February of the first year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty, shortly after the Jin army withdrew from Kaifeng, the Great Song Dynasty court couldn't wait to tear up the peace treaty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After the news that King Qin's army withdrew from the siege, the imperial court issued a decree ordering the military horses of Shandong Road Fan Town to make meritorious contributions, go to relieve the siege of Taiyuan and Hebei, and tear up the peace treaty, Sanniang immediately sneered and asked Huang Wenbing: "What do you think about this?" ”

Huang Wenbing also smiled: "The monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty treat the major affairs of this country like a joke, the war is uncertain, and the order changes every day, how can they convince the public?" If you want to fight the Jin people to the end, at the beginning, you will order all military states and the military and civilian people of the world to fight the enemy together, fight to the death, and never negotiate peace. If peace is demanded, and this peace negotiation has been completed, it is necessary to knock out the teeth and swallow blood, first recognize the peace treaty, and only wait for the opportunity to come, and then try to regain the lost territory. Now that nothing is ready, just relying on the enthusiasm of the military and the people, they are desperate to overturn the peace negotiation, which is really like a game. ”

Sanniang smiled and nodded: "Exactly, it seems that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty do not have long-term plans, let alone a serious analysis of my strength, but now that the main battle faction has the upper hand, the court has changed the direction of war and wind." Although this trip to negotiate peace is humiliating, if it can win a year or two for the Great Song Dynasty, use this time to make great efforts, lie down and taste courage, train military horses, call on the army and civilians, prepare for war, and maybe have the strength to fight with the Jin army. It's a pity that now that nothing is ready, he hurriedly tore up the peace treaty and ordered King Qin's army and horses to go north to relieve the siege. ”

After a pause, Sanniang said: "But this time the Song Dynasty wants us to be pioneers, it seems that they want to drive the wolf and the tiger, and the only person who can come up with this strategy is Wen Huanzhang." Huang Wenbing frowned and said: "Could it be that this Wen Huanzhang is really a fake refuge, but in fact, he still can't be an enemy with us?" ”

While speaking, two messengers from Tokyo arrived at the same time, sending secret letters from Gao Yu and Wen Huanzhang respectively. Sanniang first read Gao Yu's secret letter, which was very simple to inform Sanniang that the imperial court intended to drive the wolf and the tiger, and asked the Shandong Road military horses to drive the siege of Taiyuan and Hebei as the front. Gao Yu said in the letter that it was only because of the turbulent emotions of the Song court this time, and it was the main battle, and Geng Nanzhong heard Wen Huanzhang's plan, so he came up with this strategy. He also repeatedly pleaded guilty in the letter, saying that just because his authority on this trip was not as good as before, his words had no weight, and he could not stop the discussion on this trip.

After reading it, Sanniang handed the letter to Huang Wenbing, Huang Wenbing smiled after reading it: "It seems that this Gao Taiwei still has his heart for us, not only to point out that this is a plan to drive away the wolf, but also to say who is in the court who is offering advice." ”

Sanniang smiled slightly: "This Gao Yu is still afraid that if I am defeated here, he will have no antidote in a year, and he will die." As he spoke, he opened Wen Huanzhang's letter and read it. That Wen Huanzhang said in the letter, only because of this trip to the court for how to deal with the military horses of Shandong Road Domain, and he was afraid that the military horses of King Qin would gather in the capital to change, he Wen Huanzhang thought about it for a long time, and only then did he come up with this strategy of even fighting and eliminating, first, to let the Shandong Road military horses get out of trouble, so that they would not fight to the death with the Great Song Dynasty military horses now, and secondly, they could also solve the siege of Taiyuan and Hebei, and teach the Song and Jin wars to continue, so that the Shandong Road military horses could benefit from it.

The most important thing is that Wen Huanzhang wrote at the end of the letter: "Yu tasted that the female monarch has the ambition of the world, since ancient times, Shanxi and Hebei are the first in the world, and Shandong is a corner of peace. ”

After reading it, Sanniang gave the letter to Huang Wenbing, Huang Wenbing frowned at a glance and said: "Judging from the letter, Wen Huanzhang's strategy is planned from our overall situation, which side is he on?" ”

Sanniang smiled and said: "It's very simple, he is still waiting and watching now, and he didn't really take refuge in me, but sending troops to Taiyuan and Hebei was an exam question he left for me." He wanted to see if our army had the ability to gain a firm foothold in Shanxi and Hebei and make this game of chess lively. If our army can seize this opportunity and lay out the situation of winning the world, then Wen Huanzhang will sincerely join us. ”

Huang Wenbing smiled and said, "It seems that this Wen Huanzhang is also a very far-sighted person. Sanniang groaned: "Okay, since this is the case, we will start to lay out the Central Plains according to the original plan." Here I will first ask my senior brother Lin Chong to lead 30,000 military horses to Taiyuan to relieve the siege, Huang Wenbing, you will assist my senior brother to go with you, and now one of the troops should bring all the troops with them, and I will let the navy take the food and grass baggage. I only led the women's battalion soldiers and horses here to take the waterway, first back to Shandong Road, and then ordered 50,000 troops and horses to march to Hebei. The land of Taiyuan, Shanxi Province will be handed over to Senior Brother Lin Chong and you. ”

Huang Wenbing bowed down and said: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the lord, and I will definitely teach our army to gain a firm foothold in Shanxi and live this chess eye." After the discussion, Sanniang ordered the drum to raise the account, and the generals of the army arrived when they were young.

After seeing that all the generals had arrived, Sanniang announced in public and said the will of the Song court. Hearing that the Song Dynasty tore up the peace agreement again, started a war with the Jin army, ordered the Shandong Road military horses to relieve the siege of Taiyuan and Hebei, and allowed the Shandong Road military horses to wear the crime and make meritorious contributions, all the generals in the tent sneered, and even Zhang Shuye smiled coldly: "The order changes every day, the war is uncertain, and the major affairs of the country are like child's play!" Chen Xizhen also scolded: "This court is really mediocre and incompetent, since it is going to start a war against the Jin army, it should not have been released to cross the river after Yan Zongwang ten days ago, at that time, if it can be like our army, desperately moving forward, how can the more than 100,000 Jin troops under Yan Zongwang cross the river?" If the more than 100,000 Jin troops under Yan Zongwang were annihilated, the Jin people would have a broken arm. Now that the Jin people have crossed the river and retreated, and they are about to start a war again, they are really kicked in the head by a donkey. ”

Sanniang persuaded the generals to be restless, and said slowly: "The court is stupid, so as to show the righteousness of our army, don't worry about him!" Now that we have the opportunity to go to Taiyuan and Hebei, our army will go to fight against Jin, which is where the great righteousness of our army lies! ”

At that moment, Sanniang ordered Lin Chong to be the commander of the West Route Army, Huang Wenbing to be the military advisor, Chen Xizhen to join the army, and led Hua Rong, Zhang Qing, Zhu Tong, Lei Heng, Liu Tang, Li Kui and other generals under his command, and now 30,000 military horses drove to Taiyuan in advance, and Sanniang and Zhang Shuye, Sun Erniang, and Qiong Ying led the women's battalion of military horses to take the waterway and return to Shandong Road first, re-ignite 50,000 military horses, and then rush to Hebei.

After all the arrangements were made, the troops and horses began to prepare to pull out the camp and start the march. Sanniang left Lin Chong, Huang Wenbing, and Chen Xizhen alone, and explained: "Since last year, the Taiyuan army and people have been sticking to Taiyuan to fight against the Jin army. Senior brother, you are going to relieve the siege, the Jin army is more than 100,000 people, and our army only has 30,000 military horses, which is difficult to match head-on. To make use of his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, he bullied him that the Jin people did not have a water army, relying on Fenshui, laying down a hard village along the river, and the water village and the land village relied on each other, and the land soldiers and horses relied on the water army to transport grain and grass, so as to ensure that our army's grain road continued. After gaining a firm foothold, it is necessary to march step by step, gradually advance to Taiyuan City, strive to open up the passage into the city, build a hard village to reach the city, so that the grain and grass equipment and soldiers can be continuously sent into the city, so that the siege of Taiyuan can be relieved. ”

Lin Chong said with his head bowed when he heard this: "Exactly, our army has few soldiers, and it is difficult to break the siege head-on, so we can only rely on the hard village and rely on bows, crossbows and firearms to open up the way to break the siege." Huang Wenbing said: "It's just that this kind of tactics is quite rigid, and it takes more effort, and then there is more people to gather people along the way for my use, and ask more people to build camps for me, and our army and horses are outside to resist the Jin army." ”

Chen Xizhen said: "Our army goes north to resist Jin, and the people near Taiyuan will definitely help, and there is no need to worry about the affairs of the people, there will definitely be many followers." As long as our army has built a hard village along the Fenshui, the supply of grain, grass and equipment is complete, and our army has the advantage of geography and bows, crossbows and firearms, even if it only relies on 30,000 military horses, it is enough to deal with the Jin army. Everyone agreed.

Sanniang said: "In addition to understanding the siege of Taiyuan, we must also let go of the army and the people, and we must teach our army to occupy a foothold in Shanxi and expand the territory, so that we can be regarded as laying a chess eye in Shanxi." Lin Chong and the others all bowed down to receive the order.

After the discussion was made at the moment, Lin Chong and the others immediately left, and Sanniang appointed Sun Erniang, Qiong Ying and other female battalion soldiers and horses to also prepare to pull out the camp.

Two days later, Sanniang led Zhang Shuye, Sun Erniang, Qiong Ying and thousands of soldiers and horses from the women's battalion to return to Shandong Road along the waterway by Zhang Shun's naval warship, Lin Chong led 30,000 troops and horses across the river to Taiyuan, Zhang Shun sent a naval army to escort the grain and grass to the Yellow River north, and went to Taiyuan from Hejin to the Fenshui waterway.

But it was said that on the Taiyuan side, the Jin army invaded Taiyuan in the south, and on December 8, Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan. On December 18, the Jin Dynasty's Western Route Army, which was like a bamboo, broke through the Shiling Pass, and the forward had entered the city of Taiyuan, and the generals of the Western Army, Lin Fu and Lu Yan, Liu Guangshi, rescued Taiyuan with a total of 40,000 troops, and were defeated by the Jin army on the north bank of the Fen River outside the city of Taiyuan, and lost more than 10,000 people and then dispersed.

After the head of the Jin Army's West Route Army, Yan Zonghan drove Taiyuan City, originally thinking that Taiyuan could be easily captured, but he did not expect to be stubbornly blocked under Taiyuan City. At this time in Taiyuan, there were only 3,000 Shengjie troops led by the Song general Wang Yu. Shengjie army is Tong Guan in charge of the northwest frontier when he recruited a pro-army of tens of thousands of people, Wang Yu from the army from an ordinary soldier gradually promoted to the Xuanfu Division of the capital system, in the following Tong Guan suppressed the Fang La uprising after the northern expedition to Liao, defeated in Baigou, and Tong Guan fled from Taiyuan, leaving him as the deputy capital governor responsible for guarding the city.

The Jin army attacked Taiyuan, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaochun, the envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong, and Wang Yu, the general, built a heavy city in the Tucheng of Taiyuan, and dug trenches outside the Tucheng, and the people over 15 years old and under 60 years old were all given weapons, assigned lots, guarded the city day and night, and the grain stored in the city was rationed, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, and they were all supplied daily according to the head.

The ancient city of Taiyuan built by Pan Mei in the Northern Song Dynasty has a circumference of only ten miles, the north and south are Yunlu Street to the Houxiao River, and the east and west are the west gate of Qiaotou Street to the water. Zhang Xiaochun sat in the palace, and Wang Yu supervised and defended the city on the city wall every day.

Zong Han led the Jin soldiers to attack the city in turn, and the weapons such as ladders, partial bridges, and stone throwing vehicles that attacked the city were all used up by the Jin soldiers, and the slightly larger stones by the Fen River were used up by the Jin soldiers, but they were all repelled by the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians. Zong Han had no choice but to besiege Taiyuan City, build a trench outside the city, and use antlers to set up camps, and cut off all the external passages of Taiyuan City like an iron bucket. Until February of the first year of Jingkang, Taiyuan City had been besieged for more than three months, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were all looking forward to the imperial court reinforcements.
