The Jin soldiers besieged the city for several days, but they did not launch a single attack.

It's really going to be a fight, it's a big deal to do it with real knives and guns. But now in this situation, the soldiers and people in Taiyuan City don't know when they will come to attack the city, and they will be on guard at any time, so their spirits are always in a state of high tension.

Now, the Jurchen army and the stubborn Taiyuan City, just like two hungry beasts that want to eat each other when they meet on a narrow road, are all waiting and watching with full attention before the first fight happens, waiting for the other party to show their flaws, and then they will reveal their killing intentions!

This kind of moment is the most depressing and dangerous.

While training recruits and inspecting the Quartet, Chu Tianya secretly pickets the spies of the Jin State who may have infiltrated the city.

Seeking clues and investigating clues to catch suspects can be regarded as Chu Tianya's "professional specialty". Within three days, he quietly captured the three Jin State spies lurking in Taiyuan City, and then pulled out this incomparably sophisticated spy organization.

On the eve of their premeditated assassination of Wang Yu and blowing up the gate of Taiyuan to receive the army into the city, Chu Tianya served them in a pot.

This matter was carried out very secretly, and even in the end, Wang Yu did not know at all, of course, he did not know that he had been in danger several times and was almost murdered.

Chu Tianya interrogated these people and learned that they were a personal guard unit subordinate to Wanyan Zonghan, named "Wolf Tooth".

This wolf-toothed unit has a bit of a "special forces" flavor in the era of cold weapons. They were a group of Jianghu people with strong martial arts who were absorbed from various channels during the ten years of Wanyan Zonghan's conquest of the Liao State, and after using various means to buy and control them, these people became Wanyan Zonghan's personal death guards. Their main tasks are, first, to protect Yan Zonghan, second, to find out the enemy's situation and help spy on various military secrets, and third, to carry out assassination!

Facts have proved that these people are indeed skilled, and they are ruthless and well-behaved, which is not easy to deal with.

In the process of arresting these people, there were many head-on conflicts. If it weren't for the fact that He Bo had personally helped, and Ada and Anu from the side, Chu Tianya's military patrol would not have known how heavy the losses would have to be.

Soon, the human heads of eleven "wolf teeth" hung on the tower of the north gate of Taiyuan, forming a blood-colored scenery, where Yan Zonghan was mocked.

Wang Yu also hoped that this move would stimulate Wan Yan Zonghan to see what he intended to do and whether he dared to attack the city.

As a result, Wanyan Zonghan was quite calm, he still besieged but did not attack, and did not move. This greatly confused Wang Yu. Gather the people to deliberate, but they can't guess a result.

Wang Yu also specially asked Chu Tianya, and Chu Tianya also said that "I don't know very well", and now that the enemy's motives are unknown, Taiyuan can only respond to all changes with the same and insist on holding on.

In fact, Chu Tianya guessed somewhat, but now, he can't tell Wang Yu, otherwise he will have to "show his stuffing".

His guess was that since the Jurchens were flying with both wings and attacking the Song Dynasty at the same time, then the two sides had to cooperate, and the best case was to fight together in the hinterland of the Central Plains and attack the city of Tokyo.

But at the beginning, something happened here in Taiyuan, and a strong response was made in advance. It is impossible for Yan Zonghan's soldiers and horses to drive straight into Tokyo City directly.

In this era, there is no quick communication such as telephone, and the Jurchens have already agreed to send troops together. Although there have been changes in Taiyuan, such a huge military plan cannot be temporarily adjusted, and Wanyan Zonghan has no choice but to send it. Therefore, knowing that Taiyuan had already taken precautions, it was impossible for him to easily overcome this obstacle, but he still called over.

After reaching Taiyuan, according to the established military plan of "lone army reaching in, lightning surprise attack", Wanyan Zonghan should storm Taiyuan and take the city in the shortest possible time. But his plan to reverse the change is just to besiege but not attack - there must be a lot of articles in this!

In this regard, Chu Tianya's guess is that Wanyan Zonghan is seeking victory in defeat!

Since Taiyuan has been prepared, it means that Jin's military plan has failed, and their lightning surprise attack will not succeed. So, as soon as he sent out his troops, he had already failed!

But now he is still besieging Taiyuan but not attacking, it is very likely that he is waiting for the news of the triumph of the other army to complete Yan Zongwang's department. If the soldiers and horses can win all the way, then the military plan of the Jin Kingdom this time will not be considered a failure. Because they have figured out the military and political incompetence and diplomatic weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, as long as they take the opportunity of victory and make friends, it will not be difficult to use diplomacy to obtain many benefits that have not been won militarily - a metaphor for Taiyuan City!

This is only the first attack of the Jin Kingdom, although they are arrogant, they have not burned their heads, and they are not under the illusion of swallowing the entire land of the Great Song Dynasty in one go. To get the most out of the war, that's their real purpose!

To maximize benefits, it is nothing more than to maximize the benefits as much as possible - to occupy more territory and wealth; At the same time, save as much as possible - reduce your own casualties!

Chu Tianya decided that Wanyan Zonghan's abacus must have been very fine. Since Taiyuan has been prepared for a long time, if you want to attack and take it, the cost is too high, and it is a question whether you can take it or not. For example, if his men and horses attack Taiyuan with all their might, the Xishan and Taihang soldiers on both wings will take advantage of the fire to rob, which will be very bad; So, he besieged but did not attack, only firmly encircled the plastered land of Taiyuan, not afraid that it would fly; At the same time, start with the weak opponent first, adopt various breaking policies, and slowly pack up the Xishan and Taishan armies that are moving outside Taiyuan City, until the threatening wings outside Taiyuan City are pulled out one by one; Then sit back and wait for the court of the Great Song Dynasty to give Taiyuan City intact!

If the current Jurchen people outside Taiyuan City really have such thoughts and motives, then this Jurchen army is too terrifying.

Hooligans are not scary, but they are afraid that hooligans still have culture.

The original barbaric Jurchens were only brave and wild in battle, but now they have such profound strategies...... That's really not easy to deal with!

In fact, from the direction of Yan Zonghan besieging but not attacking and destroying Xishan first, Chu Tianya had already smelled an extremely bad smell of danger - the enemy was far stronger than he imagined!

That's right, Chu Tianya is from the 21st century, has watched a lot of books and TV, and understands this history. However, Wanyan Zonghan taught Chu Tianya a lesson with his own hands, which made him realize a fact: history is created by people; The book is dead, but the man is alive!

Compared with the events in front of him, compared with that period of history, there have been heavy changes, and he can't be allowed to read from the book!

……

Chu Tianya didn't dare to tell Wang Yu about these conjectures, but he changed his words, cleverly modified some details to hide the fact that he had "crossed over", and told Uncle He.

After listening to this, He Bo just nodded, "Don't underestimate the enemy, this is a good habit." ”

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "The old man doesn't have anything to guide me?" ”

"What can I tell you?" He Bo said, "I haven't even thought about what you said. Your wisdom and strategy are far superior to mine, and I can't even tell you how to give me advice. ”

Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, "Old man, you are a person who has seen the world. When I followed Fang La, I experienced the predicament in front of me, right? ”

"Hey...... The past is unbearable. He Bo was told about his heart, sighed leisurely, and said, "In fact, in retrospect, there is really a reason for the rise and fall, and there is a basis for victory and defeat." In a short period of time, Fang La's attack on the fifty-two counties of six states was unstoppable; But in a shorter period of time, he was defeated like a mountain, and he was completely defeated. ”

"What is the reason?" Chu Tianya asked.

"The human heart." He Bo said these two words and sighed heavily.

"Why don't you explain it in detail, so that I can learn something?" Chu Tianya said.

He Bo smiled and said, "In short, the reason why Fang La has succeeded and can have so many people follow him is because he took advantage of the people's hearts to take advantage of the situation. At that time, the southeast area was the most affected by the disaster of Huashigang, from the official family to the yamen officials, who were desperately squeezing and abusing the people there, and the people were angry. Therefore, Fang La's wave of his arm and the people gathered, and soon his subordinates gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, attacking the state and the county. ”

"And Fang La's failure is precisely because he lost the hearts of the people."

After achieving some victories, Fang La and his leaders became carried away, and became extremely poor and unenterprising, almost becoming the second faint king, Zhao Ji. Moreover, he is even more tyrannical than Zhao Ji! - For example, in the years of the uprising, he attacked the prefectures and counties, killed a lot of civilians and plundered money and food, and nearly two million people died due to the rebellion! ”

Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows in shock.

Everywhere he went, Fang La and his generals collected all the money and grain from the government treasury, and abducted all the folk women for fun. After the defeat, the women were stripped of their clothes and hanged to death in a tree. There are eighty-five roads on the road from Tangyan to Kuiling, and all of them are full of the corpses of these women! ”

Chu Tianya took a deep breath and took a cool breath, "That's right, it really has a reason for its rise and fall, and a basis for victory or defeat!" If Fang La hadn't been a forgetful brutal and abusive people, maybe he could really achieve great things! ”

"Shame on the old man! At that time, I was not much better, my mind was not as clear as it is now, and I had done a lot of wrong things like Fang La; Looking back now, I know what went wrong. He Bo shook his head and sighed, "As Fang La's military advisor, I have not been able to persuade him in time for many things, or have not been able to persuade him; I have a great responsibility for the defeat of Fang La; I also have an unshirkable responsibility for the tragic death of so many people in the land of Liuzhou - in the end, my whole family was killed, and this may be my retribution! ”

"Strategist?" Chu Tianya caught this word.

"One of the military advisors." He Bo smiled treacherously, and immediately changed the topic and said, "Throughout the ages, all those who have achieved things have been people-oriented and attach importance to people's hearts. Tang Taizong of the previous dynasty once said that the people are precious, the society is secondary, and the monarch is light. At first glance, it sounds bluffing and hypocritical; Come to think of it, this is simply the truth! Especially in the troubled times when people's hearts are in turmoil, the first thing is to clean up people's hearts, and don't forget to put the people first. The water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, the ancients did not deceive each other! ”

"Uncle He's words and deeds have made me feel a lot and benefit a lot!" Chu Tianya couldn't help but sigh.

Uncle He smiled, his eyes were bright, "When the young master accomplishes something great in the future, if he can still remember these words of the old man, it will be really good." However, I believe that if the young master can stand in Fang La's position one day, the world of the Great Song Dynasty may really be saved! ”
