Chapter 37: I'm ashamed
Although Lu Zhen's analysis is very reasonable, it is only an analysis after all.
Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi are not bound to lose.
Rao is like this, after Li Fengwu left the city, he also began to ponder, if he is really defeated, can he help Xiangyang defend the city?
Is there any way to increase the combat power of the Xiangyang defenders in the short term?
……
……
July, in full swing.
The border between the two Huai is in full swing, Lizhou Road is in full swing, and Jingnan Road is in full swing.
The Great Song Dynasty is like a cold winter wax moon.
In addition to those who were sent to the border front, all the people who were in Lin'an were all there, and even Qian Duanli, who was ill, also appeared in the crowd sickly.
However, the official family gave a seat with compassion.
The vertical arch hall was solemn, and there was almost no sound, only the sound of the palace maid snorting and fanning the official.
The war has been going on for half a month, and the situation cannot be said to be good or bad.
The Lianghuai defense line, in the territory of the Anfeng army, resisted the Zhao Kai division of Yingzhou's loyal and righteous heroes, although there was no major victory, but Zhu Zhenfu, the defender of Shouzhou, successively disintegrated the two waves of attacks of Jiagu Qingchen...... These two waves of offensives were under the condition that Zhao Kai, the king of Qing, led his troops to respond, forcing Jiagu Qingchen to retreat.
If Jiagu Qingchen does not retreat, he will be attacked.
It was the defense line of the Anfeng army, and almost not an inch of the country was lost.
But the rest of the line of defense is worrisome.
Xuyi City experienced five days of bloody battles, and finally the Jin soldiers stood at the head of the city at the cost of leaving more than 12,000 corpses under the city.
All 8,000 defenders in the city were killed!
After the guard Liu Menghu killed no one under his command, he generously went to die.
Zhao Chu, the governor of Xuyi, fled south in a hurry before the city was broken, and is now detained in Chuzhou.
The defense line of the Xuyi army was about to face the crisis of losing the whole line, and the Gong King Zhao Dian and the envoy Li Xianzhong, who were sitting in Chuzhou, did not rush to the aid of Xuyi City in the battle to defend the city of Xuyi.
In this way, the defense line of Huainan East Road was torn open.
On the defense line of Lizhou Road, although there are veterans Wu Lan and Yu Yunwen, the soldiers are in full swing, Minzhou has fallen, and the Great Song Xiong Division has not yet reached Qishan...... Now that Minzhou has fallen, Qishan is particularly important.
And the most unoptimistic defense line on Jingnan Road, with Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi taking the initiative, the situation is also extremely strange.
The soldiers of Junzhou ambushed the soldiers in the area of Heilongji, and annihilated 3,000 Jin soldiers.
However, the Suizhou soldiers in the area of Wujiaji were pressed by the Jin army, but fortunately, the Junzhou soldiers of Heilongji and the garrison of Guyi Town arrived in time, and they barely stood their ground when more than half of the Suizhou soldiers were lost.
The two sides are now facing off against Wu Jiaji, and they are waiting for the opportunity.
In this battle, the Jin soldiers lost 3,000 lure soldiers in Heilongji, but they won a small victory in Wujiaji, and the battle losses of both sides were about 4,000 each.
Wu Jiaji is extremely important.
Wujiaji is followed by Guyi Town, once Wujiaji is lost, Guyi Town will face the impact of the Jin 4,000 cavalry, at that time the general trend has gone, and can only retreat to Xiangyang.
In this situation, Zhang Chao and Zhang Mingzhi are in a dilemma.
If the Wu family set is defended, it is likely to lead to the total destruction of the defenders.
If Wujiaji is abandoned, not only will the defenders be hunted down, but even Guyi Town is likely to be pursued by the Jin cavalry, and it is still a question whether it can withdraw to Xiangyang.
is only fortunate that it did not collapse at the touch of a button as analyzed by Lu Zhen.
It took a long time to condense in the vertical arch hall before the official family opened today's business: how to make up for the defense line of Huainan East Road, and how to gallop the soldiers and horses of Jinghu North Road.
It is mainly entangled in the rush to the south of Beijing Road or the two Huai defense lines.
From the atmosphere of the cold winter into the atmosphere in full swing, the vertical arch hall is inextricably contested, the main battle faction of the important ministers of the main Jinghu North Road soldiers and horses gallop to Xiangyang, and the main and faction hope to gallop to the aid of the two Huai defense line.
With the troops of Jinghu North Road, they entered Huainan West Road, so that Huainan West Road would have enough troops to divide troops to Huainan East Road to make up for the hole in the Xuyi defense line that had been torn apart.
It's actually quite understandable.
The view of the main war faction is to use war to control war.
As long as Jingnan Road is kept, there will be a chance to enter Tang and Deng states.
The view of the main and faction is to hold the Lianghuai defense line, Jingnan Road has nothing to do with the overall situation, as long as Xiangyang is not lost, the Jin people will not be able to enter the territory of the Great Song Dynasty through Jingnan Road.
In the end, Tang Si retired with his resignation as a threat, and the implication was that if your main battle faction in the West Mansion continued to insist, then our three provinces in the East Province would not cooperate, and Hong Shi and Jiang Fu had to retreat.
The official family can only accept this.
At this juncture, if Tang Si resigns, it will be a huge blow to the war.
In this way, the soldiers and horses of Jinghu North Road galloped to the aid of Huainan East Road!
After the decree was issued, the ministers in the vertical arch hall retreated, Zhao Yan sat there silent for a long time, and Xie Shengtang's face was gloomy......
Syllable!
Zhao Yan suddenly picked up the teacup and fell to the ground angrily, "Damn! ”
Xie Shengtang panicked and signaled to the little eunuch and the palace maid, asking them to retreat first, and he comforted the official in a loud voice, "Don't be angry, Tang Xianggong is also to defend the country of the Lianghuai defense line." ”
Zhao Yan's face was gloomy.
I knew that Tang Si retreated to hold the Lianghuai defense line, but he threatened with resignation, which was too much.
The most important point is that Zhao Yan knows that after Xuyi was lost, his father summoned Tang Siwei in Deshou Palace, so this move is likely to be his father's intention......
Isn't it just that the Jin people are afraid that the Jin people will break the defense line of the two Huai and cross the horse to the south?
I even lost my three sons in the two Huai defense lines, don't I worry!
The soldiers and horses on Jinghu North Road, even if they rush to the aid of the Lianghuai defense line, it is only a drop in the bucket, and it is better to use it on Jingnan Road, so Jingnan Road may still have a little effect.
It may be possible to defeat the Sushi Lietaru tribe and enter the Tang and Deng states.
Such a strategy can not only solve the danger of the two Huai defense lines, but may even continue to go north, such an enterprising strategy is not acceptable, but it is necessary to adopt a conservative and rigid defense of the two Huai ......
So Zhao Yan's sentence is hateful, it's really hard to say who he is talking about.
It is more likely to say that Tang Si retreats, after all, Zhao Yan is filial, no matter how bad Zhao Gou is, Zhao Yan will not have many complaints about him.
After a long time, Zhao Yancai sighed and read softly: "Who's son guards the border pass, thinks about the disease, the cold light shines on the blood and gall, and the green clothes are crowned; Whose lady is in a light shirt, remembering the return date, leaning on the window and looking at the moon is speechless, but the summer is cold? ”
After reading it, he sighed again, "I'm ashamed! ”
Is it a border soldier who is ashamed of having no one to support the western defense line, or is there a woman who is ashamed to remember the return date of her husband and son...... Xie Shengtang didn't dare to figure it out.
just said gloomily, "The big official should blame himself, raise troops for a thousand days and use soldiers for a while, and fight and die for the land of the Great Song Dynasty, which is all glory." ”
Zhao Yan smiled bitterly, "Really? ”
immediately made up his mind, "That's it, call Hu Fang back to Lin'an." ”
No matter what the war is, peace cannot be avoided.
When Lin'an settled down the strategy, the border war was tight, and the three battles of the Lianghuai defense line, Jingnan Road, and Lizhou Road finally staged a decisive battle.
The situation in Jin was already turbulent, and they did not dare to delay.
It is necessary to make the battle situation clear before the autumn, so that the army of Wanyan Xilie in Minzhou will go out of the city, and if you want to seize Qishan first, you will attack on all fronts, and you will want to defeat the Song soldiers of Wujiaji and Guyi Town with one blow, and take Xiangyang directly.
And Yingzhou's servants shot Zhongyi to increase the territory of the Anfeng army, and no longer focused on Shouzhou and Shouchun, but first took other military towns.
The Xiongshi Lie Zhining Division, who had already controlled the Xuyi army on all fronts, went south and went straight to Chuzhou - knowing that Zhao Dian was in Chuzhou, Su Shi Lie Zhining was overjoyed, and after replenishing the source of troops, all 50,000 troops were dispatched to capture His Royal Highness King Gong of the Great Song Dynasty.
