"The last general commands!" Niu Gao also straightened up at this time and responded.

Yang Ling stood up, "Everyone, the affairs of Ulzhou have been arranged, and now we will not be left behind by the Jinyang Army, and today we will officially promulgate the matter of advancing north, the first step is to recover Huanzhou, Shuozhou, and the second step is to take Ulzhou, Wang De listens to the order!" ”

"The last general!"

After Yang Ling ordered the troops to gather the generals, I don't know how many generals are busy in Taiyuan Mansion at the moment, leading the army, gathering people's husbands, withering equipment, and preparing to stop in just two days, and go north at any time.

After learning that Yang Ling had mastered a considerable situation and his position was stable for a while, Wang Yu naturally dared to go north with confidence, and he must go north as soon as possible.

The officers and soldiers of the Shengjie Army under the command of Wang Yu also rushed to Taiyuan on the way, at this time, the officers and soldiers of the Shengjie Army also had the intention to make meritorious contributions, and concentrated their troops to go north to deal with the situation, and it would not be wrong to do anything, and the entire Hedong Road should be fully mobilized to support the main force of the Jinyang Army to go north.

Zhang Xiaochun was also busy for a long time, and cooperated with Wu Jue to issue an order, so that he could take a break at this time, and his confidant Zheng Qianhua personally carried a lantern and sent Zhang Xiaochun into the inner courtyard to rest.

Neither of them spoke, walking silently in the night, and after a while, they arrived at the gate of the inner courtyard, Zheng Qianhua handed the lantern to Zhang Xiaochun and said softly: "The prefect ......"

Zhang Xiaochun waved his hand: "Needless to say, try your best to cooperate with General Yang." ”

Zheng Qianhua wanted to say something, but Zhang Xiaochun ignored him, and walked into the inner courtyard by himself, and did not enter the concubine who came to Taiyuan to rest, but transferred to the inner study. Gently instructed his confidants: "Prepare refreshing drinks, as well as pen and ink, and no one is allowed to approach the study." ”

The confidant accompanied Zhang Xiaochun for a long time, and knew that the minister had confidential letters to write, so he was busy answering the order and sent Zhang Xiaochun to the study to settle down. Everything was arranged quickly.

Under the light, Zhang Xiaochun sat at the desk, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, did not move for a long time, the golden drum in Hedong was already ringing, and the dispute between the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty began a new round, and its danger and fierceness. How much better than before? How do you deal with yourself in it? It's a problem!

……

Ulzhou is stuck in the traffic artery, it is difficult to transfer baggage, and the whole army comes out, and if you don't go down to Ulzhou, you won't dare to go deeper, let alone go south in the future, and only spend military money under the city of Ulzhou. Although the Jurchens took Wuzhou and Xinzhou. Ruzhou, but the reserves of the three states are not much, this is not a rich place, and it cannot support the army to fight for a long time, although Wanyan Zonghan is mobilizing the entire army of the Western Route Army, except for Yin Keshu and Lou Mur. There are also nearly 10,000 female real troops, more than 10,000 auxiliary armies such as Bohai and Liaoren.

There are also as many as 20,000 or 30,000 Zahu tribesmen who have surrendered to the Jurchen army, but now they can only assemble and stand by, just waiting for Ulzhou to take it. Although staying in the vicinity of Sanzhou also consumes military resources, grain and grass, it is always less than the huge daily consumption of hundreds of miles of transportation.

Yizong Han sat on the male army, Yin Keshu and Wan Yan Lou received Wan Yan Zonghan's military order, that is, the army rushed directly to Ulzhou, Wan Yan Zonghan knew that Ulzhou was difficult to attack, and he could only send Wan Yan Xiyin to lead hundreds of light cavalry to come to help, and the military resources and grain that could be grabbed by the Jurchen army horses were not enough to support thousands of regular troops, thousands of auxiliary armies, and tens of thousands of war horses and pack horses to survive this winter.

Of course, it can be transferred from Xijing Datong Mansion to respond, but Ulzhou is not down, and many soldiers must be left along the way to cover it, all of which will consume grain and straw, and there will be less transportation to the front, or the city of Ulzhou will be surrounded by water, and all roads will be stuck, and there will be no 10,000 troops and horses, how can it work?

These 10,000 military horses can only lose all their mobility, trapped under the city of Ulzhou, the same consumption is huge, and all the people who can be transported up from the rear can be eaten, and now the Wanyan Lou room in the northern states still has to starve, if the family is thick, the accumulation is more, the manpower that can be mobilized is also more, and it can also fight for huge consumption, to supply the whole army, but under the fire, Zonghan's family background is not necessarily thick, the people are either dead or scattered, and the people who carry the grain may not be many, even if they eat cattle and sheep, now in winter, the herdsmen only have breeding animals in their hands, under the forced conscription, On the contrary, it provokes chaos.

Yin Keshu took the risk alone, they couldn't be mistaken, and there was no reason to let this Liao army without a mother grow in this important place, and it also led the Jurchen national policy to turn to the south as soon as possible, and it was necessary to fight for power and gain momentum for Zong Han.

The success or failure of the overall plan is the same place as Ulju! This is the importance of blocking the key passes of the traffic key points! This is where soldiers must fight!

Fighting a war is to fight food, with the Jurchen soldiers being strong, they can't go outside, if they take Ulzhou, they will live on the whole situation, and they can't take Ulzhou, or Zong Han will mobilize the army to consume the reserves and take them back, if they don't go over the mountains and mountains and go the same way to kill horses for food, eat enough hard work, and then go back after many deaths, under the loss of vitality, I am afraid that they will not be able to move lightly within a year.

Since Yin Keshu decided to go south, how could he accept such a result? Wanyan Xiyin sighed for a while, and then asked, "Why don't you lure the Ulzhou military horses out to fight?" ”

Yin Keshu said in a deep voice: "I tried, Lou Room swept Shuozhou first, rolled up the momentum, I hid left near, and wanted to lure the Ulzhou military horses to help, who knew that the Liao people here were really calm, and they would not be easy to come out by sitting back and watching Ulzhou be broken, I couldn't hide for a long time, and the grain was approaching, and the war horses would be scrapped if they continued like this, so they could only go out and force the city, and collect the people's grain and straw - the defenders of Ulzhou, and they were even more reluctant to come out." ”

Wanyan Xiyin smacked his lips: "Break this strong city, or a long wall, or a room, we can't afford to be surrounded by a long wall, what about the room?" Those Liao dog remnants are really loyal to the lawless Da Liao? ”

Yin Keshu said lightly: "Naturally, I also want to use it, but there has been no movement yet." ”

Wanyan Xiyin patted his legs: "I can't surround it, and I don't have an internal response, do you want to fill it with the life of the Jurchen son?" Not to mention that it can be filled in or not, thousands of people died, and it was useless to fight down, and the life of the Jurchen Erlang was ten times more expensive than the Liaogou Nanban and gold! ”

Yin Keshu's mood had completely calmed down, he got up and walked out of the tent, and the Jurchen guards behind him also followed, Wanyan Xiyin was a little inexplicable, only to follow, standing outside the Chinese army tent, Yin Keshu looked at the Ulzhou city fortress in the distance, let out a long breath of white air, squinted his eyes, his eyes were fierce, and he looked at the fluttering and dancing banners at the head of Ulzhou City.
