Chapter 743: Blood stains Jiangbei and reflects the red mountains
As the midwinter approached, Ye Yu's body gradually began to weaken, and he knew that his three-year limit was coming.
During this period, regarding the Great Song Dynasty's proposal to the Jin State of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the Jin Emperor Wanyan Yunzhong angrily and categorically refused, which was expected by Ye Yu.
The real war does not need any reason as a gimmick, but having a reason can also be used as icing on the cake, so the failure of the negotiations this time has made the Song Dynasty an excuse to blame the Jin State.
Compared with the failure of the negotiations between Song and Jin, the alliance between Song and Liao was much smoother.
Under Ye Yu's strong request, the Liao State, which had recovered slightly, could only be in a position of coordinated operations.
Regarding the unified command of the conquest of the Jin State, Wu Ting of the Song Dynasty should be the commander-in-chief. The first pillar of the Western Liao, Xiao Huli, was the deputy commander-in-chief, and led the army of 150,000 troops out of the Dragon Bone River, crossing the northern steppes to directly clamp down on the Mongolian tribes, in order to prevent the Mongolian cavalry from participating in the battle of Song and Jin.
On the side of the Song Dynasty, Wu Ting directly slapped the 400,000 Northern Expedition divisions, and the four people under his command served Xin Qiji, Wu Xi, Gu Xifeng, and Bao Tian.
The momentum of the army is like a rainbow, although it is not Ye Yu's personal expedition, but the momentum is still vast!
After all the marching arrangements were made, Wu Ting officially began to lead the army to cross the river to the north, trying to completely destroy the Jin State in one fell swoop!
Standing at the highest point of the Imperial City Pavilion, Ye Yu watched the Xiongshi go north, but his heart was very calm, because his deployment had been completed.
Even if it was an incomplete battle situation, he didn't have the heart to take care of all this, after all, his body was already difficult to do by himself.
The nomadic Khitan people in the western Liao, and the Mongols in the northern steppes from the west, this move can be said to be very important.
This move is a means of razing and defeating. This move not only eased the pressure on the Song army to go north, but also made the domestic forces of Western Liao empty, so as long as the timing can be grasped properly, Western Liao will cease to exist after this battle!
Ye Yu should be glad that at this time, the northern grasslands were still divided, and the Mongolian tribe was only one of the six tribes, even if the strength was getting stronger and stronger, it had not yet become a climate after all.
The most important thing is that a historical figure who has not really stepped onto the stage of history is Genghis Khan Temujin, who has tied almost the whole of Asia on the map.
In addition to the army led by Gu Xifeng, the Song army directly landed in Goryeo and joined forces with Goryeo's Quan Guangwu and Fujiwara Guangbo, and the other three routes marched north from Mengjin, Bishui and Changyuan respectively.
The 90,000 army led by Quan Guangwu was composed of 40,000 or 50,000 Japanese soldiers from the local alliance army of Goryeo and Fujiwara Mitsutake, plus the 100,000 Song troops brought by Gu Xifeng this time, a total of about 200,000 people were all pressed on the border between Goryeo and Jin.
In this way, it directly caused an invisible pressure on Yanjing, the capital of Jin Guozhong, because this distance was too close!
At the same time, the three-way Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River also marched hand in hand to grab the ferry many times, so that although Yelu Mengge, who guarded the Yellow River, lived up to the name of a famous general, he could not stand up to the battle line after all, not to mention that the ships and anti-aircraft guns of the Song army could not be resisted by flesh and blood!
Therefore, among the three route armies, Xin Qiji took the lead in crossing the river from Mengjin, and then Bao Tian and Wu Xi also crossed the river smoothly from Changyuan and Bishui.
300,000 Song troops rushed into Hebei Zhuzhou, tore and killed the Jin army all the way and fled, and Yelu Mengge was finally deceived by artillery fire and died in the chaos.
Hebei is a horse and a flat river, facing Yanyun, where the elite of the Jin army gathers.
The three armies advanced to the north layer by layer, and the cities and pools they passed were all in accordance with Ye Yu's holy will before leaving, first set up a banner of the Great Song Dynasty to recruit and surrender before the siege of the city, and if they surrendered a day later, if they did not surrender and sacrifice the city, they would adopt a policy of slaughtering the city on the day of breaking the city!
At the same time, in the city where the army passed, all the people, regardless of race, wore Hanfu and wore Han hair buns, otherwise all their heads fell to the ground and their lives were not guaranteed.
This policy was inspired by Ye Yu when the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs, but compared to the bloodshed of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Ye Yu's move was indeed as good as that.
For a while, the northern land was full of wailing, and after slaughtering six cities in a row, the speed of the Song army's advance layer by layer was significantly accelerated, because everyone was already slaughtered!
The bloody lesson, the naked invasion, the nature of the Northern Expedition of the Song army has completely changed!
This inhumane killing not only made the people in the north shudder, but also the Han people south of the Yellow River were terrified, and at the same time, many courtiers also played a lecture one after another, advising Ye Yu that although this move could deter the enemy country, it would hurt the heavens!
Ye Yu ignored this, and still allowed the Song army to carry out one massacre after another on the road of the Northern Expedition.
According to Ye Yu's thinking, that is, he is effectively promoting the civilization and progress of the Han people, and what is the slaughter of the city, just enough to allow the people of Jiangnan, who are already crowded, to move to the place where the slaughtered city is settled.
According to the term postmodernism, Ye Yu has become a militarist super war criminal, and according to the current literati theory, Ye Yu is a king who coexists with benevolence and cruelty.
When Wu Xi's army approached Xuzhou, it was met with stubborn resistance from the Xuzhou defenders, and the Song army, which was singing all the way, did not expect that the Xuzhou defenders not only did not go out of the city to surrender, but were well prepared and extremely powerful.
Therefore, the soldiers carelessly lacked the vigilance of defense for a while, and after braving the rain of arrows for several rounds, the casualties were extremely serious compared to the past.
Wu Xi, who was furious, ordered that when Xuzhou City was broken, there would be no forgiveness!
The Song army entered Xuzhou City at noon on the second day, and Wu Xi, who had always been gloomy, was very annoyed by the stubborn resistance of the defenders, and once again reiterated his previous order, not accepting surrender and killing without mercy!
As a result, after the Song officers and soldiers entered the city, those who were bald and braided and dared to hold weapons were killed on the spot! Even if you abandon your weapons and surrender, you will still be cut through with a knife!
As a result, the Song army washed the city of Xuzhou in blood, and none of the 50,000 defenders were spared!
Compared with Wu Xi's progress, the other two roads are not lagging behind, attacking the city and grabbing the land all the way, and the troops are unstoppable.
After seizing Xuzhou, he waved his army to the north and continued to recover Zhou County, which was regarded as completely opening the gate of Hebei. Then head north, bypassing the mountains and going straight to Jinan Mansion.
Defeating Jinan is equivalent to crushing the core of the Shandong Jin Army, and all that remains is to destroy the withering and decaying unimpeded.
The army swept all the way and was invincible, and the Jin army was defeated and retreated, and finally caused the sixteen states of Yanyun to fall one after another.
The soldiers cheered in unison, rejoiced, danced and laughed, and expressed their joy in any way they could think of.
The corpses on the battlefield were piled up, the blood flowed like a river, and a blood lake appeared in a radius of dozens of miles, and the erupting red light shrouded a radius of dozens of miles, which was extremely shocking in the eyes.
Get you back! This is the revenge given by the Han people with practical actions!
What is a floating corpse for thousands of miles, what is blood-stained Jiangbei, when the army is in Hejian Mansion, the sky of Yanjing City, the capital of Jinguo, is already blood-red!
