Chapter 752: Madness in the North-South Battlefield
Ye Yu has been ignoring the government in the palace for nearly a month, and all kinds of speculations about Ye Yu have emerged one after another during this period. But no matter what kind of speculation, it is an indisputable fact that the current Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is seriously ill and difficult to support.
During this period, although Ye Yu ignored the government affairs of the DPRK and China, he issued an order to continue to use troops for the great cause of the Northern Expedition of the imperial court and the issue of Dali in the southwest border.
Although this edict is a little helpless, it is undoubtedly a reassuring pill for the officers and men of the unified army on the front line.
Because every time there is a change in the power of the DPRK and China, or if there is a major event, it will directly affect the army. It may even be that because of the transfer of power and the death of the emperor, the direction of the expedition of the army will be stopped.
The news about Ye Yu's serious illness has already reached the ears of the soldiers at the border pass, which is undoubtedly a psychological blow to the soldiers fighting on the front line.
If an army, the soul of a country, falls, it is equivalent to the complete collapse of the standard erected in the faith.
Such a person can not have martial arts, or he may not be in the army, as long as such a person is still standing in the rear, then he is the backbone of the entire army and the anchor of the whole country.
If it is said that Ye Yu has achieved unprecedented influence in the literati subclass with his talent, then his military career in the past few years has undoubtedly made him a monument in the army.
However, the news that the emperor is seriously ill today has shrouded all the soldiers on the front line, and at the same time, it has also made this depression of mood brew into a source of fighting will to kill the enemy.
Therefore, on the battlefield in the Northeast, the 300,000 army led by Wu Ting was like three dragons in the cold winter, sweeping the entire Northeast with a swift momentum.
The state capitals and counties passed, the Jin people were frightened to go out of the city and surrender, and the slightest neglect was to launch a slaughter operation, and I don't know how many cities were slaughtered along the way, even the soldiers of the Song army couldn't remember.
A bloody Northern Expedition, where there are piles of bones and rivers of blood, is a road paved by people.
Slaughtering the city, slaughtering the soldiers, not the people, this is the personal bottom line of the commander Wu Ting, and it is also Ye Yu's original intention and criterion all along.
Since ancient times, wars have been unjust, but they are just meat grinders competing to achieve their goals!
Therefore, the slaughter of soldiers is not cruel, even if there are parents and children behind these soldiers, but what position a person is in, he must have the consciousness of being in this position, and he must bear the consequences of this position.
After taking that share of the military salary and dreaming of making meritorious contributions and worshipping the generals, then you must be mentally prepared to be slaughtered and killed.
And this is fate, and the horse leather shroud is the glorious fate of soldiers!
The three armies echoed each other from afar, and at the same time, the Mongolian cavalry originally invited by the Jin State, under the encirclement of the Liao army and the rest of the five tribes of the grassland, was already suffering from a great loss of vitality and fled north.
The remaining five tribes of the steppe began to compete for the territory of the Mongol tribes, occupying the fertile grasslands, cattle, sheep and horses, while Xiao Weili, who commanded the Western Liao army, led the army to quickly seize the prefectures of eastern Liao.
The Song-Liao Alliance's destruction of gold is a set of bills, and the seizure of land and property in the process of destroying gold is another set of unwritten acquiescence bills.
Although it did not take long for the Liao army to resist the Mongol tribes in the steppe, due to the geographical disadvantage of Western Liao being far away from the Jin State, the Liao army was already one step late when it really grabbed territory.
Xiao Weili did not advance layer by layer like the Song army, but after capturing several state capitals, he directly targeted Shangjing in Huining Mansion.
Xiao Weili learned that Yan Yunzhong had set up a defensive line in the Jinzhou area to resist the Song army, and his heart was a little calmer. As long as this Jin army could contain the pace of the Song army, he could take this opportunity to raid the capital of Huining Mansion.
Just when Xiao Weili thought that he could swallow the land of Shangjing alone, the 100,000 army under Gu Xifeng's command had already swept away the entire northeast, and now it was also approaching the capital of Huining Mansion.
The Song-Liao coalition army met unexpectedly in Shangjing, and Xiao Weili, who shouted in his heart, had to join forces with Gu Xifeng's 100,000 Song troops to surround Shangjing.
After Wan Yan Yunzhong of Jinzhou City learned of this, Yu Ying, who was angry, wanted to wave troops to rescue, but it was too late, and the three armies under Wu Ting's command besieged the entire Jinzhou after sweeping all the state capitals except Jinzhou.
An army of 300,000 besieged Jinzhou City, and even if Wan Yan Yunzhong had the heart, he was powerless to return to the sky, because he himself was already difficult to protect.
Compared with the momentum of the Northern Expeditionary Army, Li Dayin, who was in charge of Annam, was not far behind.
When Li Dayin learned that Ye Yu was seriously ill, he planned to pick his son directly and quickly return to Beijing to visit this righteous brother, but Ye Yu's edict directly blocked his steps.
The edict is very clear, when there is no trouble in the southwest, he Li Dayin can return to Beijing!
Li Dayin, who was in a hurry, of course knew what the southwest troubles were, so the only thing he could do at the moment was to rectify the soldiers and horses as soon as possible, ignoring the pillow wind of the big-breasted girl Duan Chenxi, and quickly led the army to the border of Dali.
When Li Dayin returned to Daluo City from Bianjing, Ye Yu gave Li Dayin the privilege of transferring troops from Gao, Lei, and Qiong, and transferred nine artillery pieces from the Military Supervision Department to Li Dayin.
Gao, Lei, and Qiongzhou are located in the area of Guangdong and Hainan Island, and are relatively close to Annan and even Dali, so it is extremely fast and convenient to dispatch reinforcements from the army.
At the same time, Qiongzhou was a secret firearms manufacturing workshop set up by Ye Yu at the beginning, and now it is reopened, which can be described as an abundant supply of ammunition.
The army crossed the Red River in a mighty way, directly using artillery as the vanguard to take the lead in breaking through Shicheng County, and then quickly connected 63 counties in Lianke County, and finally bypassed Dongchuan County, Huichuan Prefecture, and Nongdong Prefecture...... Approaching the capital of Dali - Tho Baa City!
In a month and a half, half of Dali was quickly annexed with lightning tactics, and its speed was so fast and fierce that it had already made the Dali Duan clan Wang Ting dumbfounded and shocked.
originally thought that after marrying his daughter, he should be able to exchange for the honeymoon period between Song and Dali, at least in the last few years, there should be no conflict.
Duan Zhixing has always believed in Buddhism, and has never liked the battle between swords and soldiers, and the reason why Chen Bing was on the border of the Song State was because the Gao clan in the middle of the court controlled the government and tried their best to admonish them, so they had to obey the advice of the courtiers.
Now his beloved daughter is marrying away from another country, in his opinion, it is all because Chen Bing is on the border and provokes the authority of the Celestial Empire for no reason.
Duan Zhixing, who believes in Buddhism, is also angry, so shortly after his daughter Duan Chenxi and his relatives got married, in order to show his country's sincerity to the Great Song Dynasty, he ordered his own team to withdraw from the border between the two countries.
But Duan Zhixing and Dali's ministers never thought that the honeymoon period between Li Dayin and Duan Chenxi had not yet passed, and Li Dayin would be like a madman who committed Dali.
(Soldiers, sharp weapons, and innocent of killing, each for his own master, each with its own position.) The people are innocent, and the slaughter is guilty, and this is the difference. Of course, someone has to be tall, with the height of a saint who worries about the country and the people and loves the common people, to look at whether to kill or not to kill, but the author I can only be speechless...... )
