Volume 3 Mending the Crack in the Sky Chapter 117 Killing Throat (7)
The Xiongcheng of Taiyuan, Hedong, has become the Great Song Dynasty at this moment.
It turned out that Wu Min's Hedong pacification envoy office had been changed to Zhao Kai's palace today, and Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan's father and son were placed in the Jin Temple under the Hanging Urn Mountain.
The group of scholars who traveled with them formed a nominal administrative system in the middle, and they were busy drafting edicts every day, presenting various documents and stamps from Bianliang, Tokyo, as if in the land east of the river, Zhao Kai still controlled the entire Great Song Empire.
But everyone who accompanied the car knew that the real center of power in the Hedong battlefield had been moved to the Yanwang shogunate in the military camp outside the city.
Now the entire Great Song Empire, the land of Hedong River and Beijing, all affairs are basically decided by Xiao Yan with a word. In Shaanxi Zhulu, the Western Army has become a real powerful faction, and the local civil servants have to revolve around these generals who hold military power.
The rest of the Great Song Dynasty was waiting and waiting, waiting for this sweeping battle in northern China, where the forces of all parties were entangled, and there was a war that decided the fortunes of the country mixed with the changes in the middle to finally come to an end, and then chose the victor to take refuge in the past.
Not to mention, in Bianliang City, the original old ruling system was still unwilling for them to step down from the stage like this, and they were still hiding in the shadows, waiting for the time to come.
This Da Song is no longer what it used to be. In the midst of the flames of war in North China, no one knows whether this civilization and this empire will be finally destroyed by all forces, or whether it will be reborn in the ashes!
At this moment, Yan Wang Xiao Yan, as the strongest force with the strongest strength and the name of the center, has naturally become the object of attention in the world. Everyone knows that if Xiao Yan, the king of Yan, wins this battle against Jurchen. then its momentum is too big to be controlled. There is a tendency to sweep the world. No matter how patient Xiao Yan is, he slowly infiltrates. At most, more than ten years later, the surname of the world will be changed from Zhao to Xiao.
I don't know how many people don't want to see Xiao Yan win the Jurchen war. Normal, I hope he can fight with the Jurchen Tartars and lose both, and then the Great Song Dynasty Center can get rid of the control of this Nanlaizi and return to the original pattern. And those who are more poisonous even hope that Xiao Yan will be defeated and the hands of the Jurchens, as long as the Jurchens can get rid of the forces of this Nanlaizi. Even if the north of the Yellow River is ceded to the Jurchens, what can it be?
And this war, as they wished, entered a rather difficult situation at the beginning.
The Jurchen West Road military horses had already penetrated deep into Hedong, and Xiao Yan personally sat in Taiyuan to stabilize the situation. In Hebei, the Jurchen East Route Army was even more powerful, surging southward, and only the Tianwu Army under Xiao Yan was struggling to support the defense line. No one knows how long it will take for this line of defense to finally collapse.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xiao Yan is now concentrating on the main force and Hedong. It is necessary to solve the Zong Han Department of the West Route Army first, so as to free up his hands in time to fight back and forth in Hebei.
But how could it be so easy to solve the Zonghan West Route Army?
Since Zong Han's army moved south, he swept through Yunnei, penetrated deep into the east of the river, and went east to west, fighting wherever he wanted. Xiao Yan can only be regarded as stabilizing his position in Hedong and trying to counterattack. If Xiao Yan's strength alone is used to launch an offensive, I am afraid that the battle with Zong Han will be a protracted situation, and before a winner can be distinguished, Hebei will no longer be able to support it!
In order to solve Zong Han's headquarters in a timely manner, it is necessary to cooperate with the Western Army, another powerful field group in the Great Song Dynasty!
However, although King Qin's edict has been issued, no one is optimistic about whether the Western Army is willing to fight hard for Xiao Yan.
The whole of North China is holding its breath, watching the development of the war, waiting for the result of this temporary stalemate to be broken!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The original camp outside Taiyuan City has now become the place where Xiao Yan is stationed.
The original camp has been expanded by two or three times, and all the accumulated logistics and military supplies have been transferred to other locations. In the large camp, the periphery is a part of the soldiers of the Divine Guard, and the inner periphery is the ermine hat and the Yanwang straight arch guard, the banners are dense, and the armor is strict.
And after Xiao Yan ushered in the royal drive, he made every effort to promote the training of military horses here, and prepared to launch a counterattack from the two directions of Loufu and Gugu Village as soon as possible.
The army is defending the inside line, and taking the initiative to launch an offensive, those are two different concepts. It is necessary to have complete preparations, sufficient supplies, and military horses that can fight after training. And all the way to attack the defense line that the Jurchens have established, and I don't know how many attacking tools to be transferred, which also requires the mobilization of more people.
At this moment, the military horses concentrated under the command of Xiao Yan in Hedong are either like the Shenwu Changsheng Army has experienced a long battle, or if the Shenwei Army is coming from a long journey, or the formation of the Dragon Guard Army and the original Hedong Garrison Forbidden Army is still quite scattered. It takes time to rest and tidy up.
Every day, Xiao Yan has to look at how many documents and chapters, personally promote many things he doesn't know, and make personnel adjustments that he doesn't know. Every day is almost sleepless, all for the sake of a goal, to take the initiative to launch an offensive, to seek a decisive battle with Zong Han, and to solve the battle situation in Hedong!
At this moment, a horse, under the guard of dozens of armor soldiers, was hurrying towards Xiao Yan's camp.
The person on the horse, with a dark complexion and a fluttering white beard, was none other than Zong Ze.
Now this old man is not only an important figure in Xiao Yan's shogunate, but also a messenger of Xiao Yan's sponsorship to the Taiyuan Mansion. No one would have thought that this old man would have a chance to soar at the age of sixty. I don't know how many accompanying Wenchen secretly cursed him, clinging to Nanlaizi in exchange for a future, like this in the evening, I don't know if I can enter the ancestral tomb of your clan in the future!
After receiving the edict of King Qin, the seal on the table has been sent to Taiyuan by urgent delivery. Nominally, it was to be handed over to the General Administration Department who was in the line, but in fact it was sent to Zong Ze first. And after Zong Ze received the small kind of seal, he immediately set off to report to Xiao Yan.
This seal was as expected when Xiao Yan and Zong Ze discussed it privately. The small species claims to be sad and mournful. I can't afford it. Once again, he was denied the appointment of the imperial court to send him to the Shaanxi Sixth Route Passage to pacify and set up an envoy. At the same time, there is also the knots that make the official appointment. Rewards such as the title of various lords.
It is even said in the table that after the Western Army returned to Shaanxi, it had been scattered everywhere, and it was necessary to prepare for the harassment of Western Xia. The imperial court selected another important general and a famous commander, and gathered troops from Shaanxi, all things were heavy, and I was afraid that it would take more than a year for the western army to advance eastward. Fight for the imperial court.
In the small kind of seal, the words earnestly advised the imperial court, the western army is the most important in the world, and it is the mainstay of the imperial court that will be raised for decades. The light use of waves during the war has already caused a great loss of vitality to the Western Army. In this war with the Jurchens, the use of the Western Army must be cherished, so that the Western Army can recover its vitality before it can enter and exit the east. If the Western Army is forcibly urged to rush out and fight in panic, and the Western Army will be hit hard again, who can the imperial court count on?
So affectionate. It is fortunate to invite the saint and the king of Yan, who presided over the military affairs, to see clearly.
A stamp, both for the illness and for the Western Army. In the end, he accused the imperial court of wasting the mistakes of the Western army in the war against Yan. All in all, in a word, in this war, the Western Army will not cooperate with Xiao Yan for the time being!
But these are all in the material. Xiao Yan has always hoped to rely on his own strength to fight a decisive battle with the Jurchens. All I want is to stop anyone behind the scenes!
Not long after, this group of people hurried to the front of Xiao Yanzhong's army camp, even if it was Zong Ze, a confidant, he also passed through the guΓ² customs layer by layer, and finally several Yan Wang Zhijia soldiers were led to Xiao Yan's big tent.
Xiao Yan's big tent of the Chinese army, that is, the ordinary weather, outside the tent Yan Wang Zhi iron armor guards layer by layer, seeing the arrival of Zong Ze, they still guard their positions, hundreds of armor soldiers are like clay carved wood sculptures, within a radius of dozens of zhang of the big tent, do not hear the sound of coughing and spitting. It has its own strict sΓΉ killing atmosphere.
When Zong Ze saw Xiao Yan, he didn't need to pass it on for a long time. Seeing Zong Ze coming quickly, the two Yan King Straight Armor Warriors rushed to open the cowhide curtain of the big tent first.
Outside the big tent, I saw a tall figure waiting outside with two swords of length and length.
This tall figure is dressed in armor, with a pair of dazzling long legs, and a beautiful face with a bit of stubbornness. If it's not Guo Rong, who can Miss Guo be?
Although he returned with Xiao Yan, he was finally hit by an arrow. But Xiao Yan took on such a heavy responsibility, and immediately went out to patrol the building, and drove in Guozha Town, even if he returned to Taiyuan, he would gather less and leave more with Guo Rong. The eldest lady of the Guo family was unwilling to be raised to eat for nothing like this, so she simply pestered Xiao Yan to guard him, at least so that she could see a little more of your people!
The eldest lady of the Guo family is no longer just the daughter of King Yan, she can be regarded as a figure who has led the troops into battle. has been recognized as a member of the army by default by these tiger and wolf men under the command of King Yan. Even if he is Xiao Yan's personal guard, no one will gossip about it, thinking that there are yin people in the army. And Xiao Yan felt even more guilty about Guo Rong, so he let this heroic girl be one of his personal guards for the first time!
In the future, if Xiao Yan fails, this behavior is absurd and unreasonable, and the guards around him are all filled with women, which cannot be said to be one of the crimes.
Seeing Zong Ze, Guo Rong nodded. And Zong Ze didn't dare to slack off on this woman, so he gave his hands as a courtesy.
Guo Rong said softly: "Mr. Zong, Yue Shuai is already inside, discussing with King Yan............"
Zong Ze was stunned, wasn't Yue Fei on the front line of Lou Fu, why did he return to Taiyuan?
Guo Rong said softly again: "............ It is said that it was to find out the military situation in the west, and the Yan army crossed the river and joined forces with the Zhejia army, wanting to march east. And Yue Shuai sent envoys to cross the mountain trail and contact them, but they were all closed. When the envoy saw the movement of their army, he looked like he was about to make a big move, so he hurried to discuss with King Yan. β
has been in the army for a long time, Guo Rong already knows a lot about the military situation under Xiao Yan, and Xiao Yan does not avoid her. Guo Rong can also talk about these things in the army in an orderly manner now. If it is really released, maybe Guo Rong can also be a qualified general.
Zong Ze was shocked when he heard such news, and he couldn't care about it anymore, so he took three steps and made two steps and walked towards the back tent.
The Western Army will not obey Xiao Yan's dispatch and will not take the initiative to cooperate with this Hedong war. It's all in Xiao Yan's expectations. And what Xiao Yan can count on is that the Western Army can at least hold the western gate tightly, so as not to let Zong Han's subordinates gain more room for maneuver, and they must always have a little scruple and beware of the western side, which can be regarded as the greatest contribution that the Western Army can make.
And in the final decisive battle with Zong Han, Xiao Yan has always been prepared to come by himself!
But now the Yan Yan army suddenly crossed the river and joined forces with the Zhejia family, and made a big move eastward. Not to mention the envoy sent by Yue Fei. Needless to say, he was preparing to march alone, and Zong Han, who wanted to oppress the westward advance, turned around and continued to fight to the death with Xiao Yan.
However, before Xiao Yan was ready to attack, the Yan Yan Army and the Zhejia Army acted alone. In case it is broken by Zong Han's subordinates, then Zong Han will have no scruples about the west, and he doesn't know how much room for maneuver there is. Even if Xiao Yan wants to find Zong Han for a decisive battle, I don't know how long this Hedong battle will stalemate!
I don't want you to do what you are told, but I don't want to open the way like the Lan army, or go east alone to cause chaos?
Even if you want to go east to fight for merit, at least you have to wait until the Yan Wang's department fights out, isn't it easier for you to go east?
Do you really think that as soon as your army comes out, the Jurchen Tartars will obediently turn around and continue to fight with Xiao Yan?
It's ridiculous!
Zong Ze walked quickly into the back tent, and saw that in the back tent, Yue Fei was sitting silently, obviously having finished reporting the latest military information. And Xiao Yan sat in the first few cases, the case was full of tables and papers, and he was rubbing his temples vigorously, his face was full of exhaustion.
Zong Ze entered to salute, Xiao Yan raised his hand: "What's the news?" β
Zong Ze got up and said in a deep voice: "The small kind of seal has arrived, and it is not enough to be the commander of the Six Roads when he is sick." β
Xiao Yan smiled coldly: "It was already expected." β
Zong Ze asked: "Did the Yan army really cross the river?" Want to join forces with the Zhejia army to advance eastward to oppress the Jurchen army and turn around? β
Xiao Yan looked at Yue Fei, and Yue Fei, who was full of dust and servants, nodded silently.
Zong Ze seemed to have a thousand words in his throat, and in the end, he only squeezed out one sentence: "Liu Guangshi is arrogant, and he can ask for speculation, in case the army is defeated, how can it be good?" β
Xiao Yan slapped a few cases heavily, and got up suddenly: "Ignore them!" Pengju, you go back immediately, launch an offensive immediately, and our own house will fight eastward! You can only count on yourself for everything! In case of defeat in the west, Lao Tzu can always turn this situation back! (To be continued......)
PS: Go out and hang the water on the last day............
This cold is really bad. I really hope that the illness will get better soon, and I can break out a little more............
Finally, I cried for a monthly pass!!!
