Chapter 45: The Jin Army Strikes

In the previous chapter, it was mentioned that Zhao Gou received a secret letter from Lu Hao. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info In the secret letter, it was revealed in the imperial history of the dynasty that the Jin army was ready to send 5,000 heavy cavalry to attack the Daimyo's mansion. But after thinking about it, Yue Fei and Zhang Jun both thought that the number of 5,000 cavalry was unlikely. Zhang Jun even said that the most likely figure is 2,000 cavalry.

Zhao Gou was puzzled and asked Zhang Jun, "Boying, how did you get the number of two thousand?" ”

Zhang Jun explained, "Back to Dashuai, how many people there are in the army is generally not true. Double when it is strong, and halve it when it is weak. Just like my volunteer army of 10,000, but to the outside world it is called 5,000; The Jin army went south in two ways, claiming to be 200,000, but in fact it was only more than 100,000. Even if there are more than 100,000 Jin troops, most of them are not Jin people, but Liao people and Bohai people (Jin Ya people) who surrendered to the Jin State. And the real Jin army besieging Bianliang was only seen by the last general, about 30,000, at most 40,000. ”

Zhao Gou nodded, and said in his heart how many people are there in the Jurchen clan? Thirteen years ago, Jin Taizu Agu raised an army against Liao, with a total of more than 2,000 cavalry, and after a year's battle, it finally developed to 10,000 cavalry; Seven years ago, the two countries of Jin and Liao fought a decisive battle, Emperor Liao led an army of 700,000 to attack the Jin State, and the Jin Cai 20,000 cavalry to meet the battle. Even if the purebred Jin army quadrupled this time, and there are already 80,000 people, then these 80,000 people should mainly stay with the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, right? In this way, the Jin people besieging Bianliang are about 30,000, and at most 40,000, which is indeed reliable data. As for the other enemies, of course, they are the puppet army that the Jin people have incorporated in the process of conquering foreign races. It's a shame, Zhao Gou doesn't feel good in his heart, our Great Song Army, especially the puppet army, can't even defeat it!

Seeing that Zhao Gou agreed, Zhang Jun continued, "The Jin people will not send the Liao army or the Bohai Navy to complete the surprise attack mission, so the heavy cavalry that comes to attack the Daimyo's Mansion will inevitably come out of the 30,000 Jin army of their own clan. The Jin army was divided into two routes, each with about 15,000 men. Think about it, if you were two commanders, would you devote one-third of your army to attack a prince with only 5,000 militia during the siege? ”

Zhao Gou pondered deeply, and said in his heart that it was true that he was a traverser and knew that he would establish the Southern Song Dynasty in the future, but the current Jin people didn't know it! Therefore, Jin Ren will not think that he Zhao Gou is particularly important.

Zhang Jun said again, "Dashuai thinks again, if Dashuai is the general of the Jin Army, Bianliang City keeps sending out treasures and beauties, wolves and less meat, and you still have to share and rob property, but the boss ordered you to run four hundred miles and attack a prince, and there are still thirty or forty people with the title of prince in Bianliang City." Is Dashuai willing to do such a task? ”

Zhao Gou listened and nodded, indeed, no one would want such a low-yield transaction.

"Therefore," Zhang Jun finally summed up categorically, "the Jin army of the east and west roads, at most, sent a team of 1,000 people all the way, a total of 2,000 light cavalry, to attack the Daimyo's Mansion. ”

Zhao Gou showed joy on his face, slapped the table, and said, "Well, well, Bo Ying is reasonable!" Hahaha, the city of the Daimyo's Mansion is high and dangerous, and it was also beaten down by his 2,000 light horses? Our army will be defeated! ”

Zhao Gozheng was full of confidence, who knew that Wang Boyan said on the side, "No!" Cannot! I saw this Wang Boyan waving his hand again and again, and he couldn't do it in a hurry, "Marshal, our army is invincible!" ”

Zhao Gou heard Wang Boyan actually say no, he was not happy on the spot, and said in his heart that he was a good Wang Boyan, he only thought that you were a corrupt official + the lord and faction, but now it seems that you were originally a surrender faction! The leading party and the surrender faction are the prime ministers of the real Zhao Gou, can the Southern Song Dynasty be good? Thinking of this, Zhao was angry, snapped, he patted the handle of the chair, stood up and asked Wang Boyan, "Unwinnable?" If the army does not win the war, what is the country doing with the army?! ”

Wang Boyan swallowed and foamed, and said aggrievedly, "The handsome man is angry, angry." Dashuai, you think, the Jin army went south twice, invincible, and invincible. Now, their first defeat is because of the handsome, so how will the Jin people think about the handsome?! ”

"Of course I think we're handsome!!" Before Zhao Gou could answer, Zhang Sanlang had already spoken, and as he spoke, he glared at Wang Boyan with the eyes of a traitor. Liu Bin grabbed Zhang Sanlang and motioned him not to speak.

Zhao Gou listened to Wang Boyan's question, and his first reaction was like Zhang Sanlang, looking at Wang Boyan's strange suggestive eyes, he understood in an instant. Yes, if he behaves too violently, it will be extremely bad for him! But it's just enough to summon more Jinren, after all, he can run to Taihang Mountain at worst. But in order to balance him, the Jin people did not bring Song Qinzong to the north, but imprisoned him in Bianliang to be the emperor of the Jin State, so how should Zhao Gou be? !

But what if you run away without a fight? The volunteers gathered for the righteousness of the country, and fled without a fight when they encountered 2,000 light horsemen, what is the difference between this and the waste dim sum under the command of Song Qinzong?!

Zhao Gou was in a dilemma, and at this time, Han Yuan took a step forward and arched his hand, "Dashuai, there will be a plan in the end to solve Dashuai's dilemma." It's just ......" Han Yuan looked left and right, meaning that the heavenly secret should not be leaked, and please retreat left and right.

Zhao Gou was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart that Han Yuan actually knew what predicament he had, and this strategic vision was also amazing. He beckoned to Han Yuan as he walked behind the screen behind his handsome position.

Han Yuan followed behind the screen and said in a low voice, "After the big handsome wins, you should immediately write a letter to the Jin people to ask for peace. And," he said to the key point, his eyes rolled, and he leaned into Zhao Gou's ear, and said in a softer voice, "The marshal asked Jin Shuai to exchange the Jin army soldiers captured by the volunteers for official homes. ”

Zhao Gou gasped, and said in his heart that he had a poisonous plan, not only sold Da Meng to the Jin people and pretended to be Da Sha, but also pushed Song Qinzong into the abyss of the North Hunt. Unexpectedly, Han Yuan, you are such a scheming boy! However, this poisonous trick can indeed solve this dilemma!

Zhao Gou's lips trembled a few times, he considered his tone, pretended to be very close and patted Han Yuan's shoulder, and said, "Zi Ning (Han Yuan, the word Zi Ning, the ancients called each other by their relatives and friends), this plan is very good, this letter will be written by you, how about it?" ”

"Uh, the last word is ugly......"

Zhao Gouxin said that such a letter cannot be handed over to outsiders to write, nor can it be handed over to loyal ministers to write, well, Wang Boyan's goods should be just right. Thinking of this, Zhao Gou patted Han Yuan's arm again and said, "Haha, too, this handsome will arrange it himself." ”

Zhao Gou took Han Yuan out from behind the screen, only to see Yue Fei and Zhang Jun all bowing their heads, looking at their noses and noses; Liu Bin closed his eyes and pretended that he had fallen asleep; Only Zhang Sanlang kept secretly looking at Zhao Gou and Han Yuan, looking extremely curious.

Zhao Gou sat down, smiled, and said, "This commander has made up his mind, if the Jin people want to fight, our army will fight!" ”

All the commanders looked shocked, and they said in unison, "Yes!" ”
