Chapter 70: A butterfly at a turning point in history
Zhao Pu was very disappointed, and even the joy of the big victory over the Jin Army in the first battle was diluted.
The years to come will be a continuous war, and the people who fight will be extremely disgusted. Winning the Jin Army for the first time, there is nothing remarkable.
And fantasizing about winning many battles is a dream.
The Jin Army is not a fool, the Jin Army is not a waste, in fact, the Jin Army is the strongest army in this era. There is a lot of chance and a lot of luck to win this time, and the future battle will be very difficult.
And if you want to go to the end, you must have a strong army.
This strong army is not necessarily victorious in a hundred battles, but at least it should be an iron army, not crushed by defeat, not tempted by money, with firm beliefs, and dare to give up their lives for the sake of faith.
However, these 8,000 troops were very unqualified.
These 8,000 troops, all from the forbidden army of Bianliang, or the Shaanxi army, are all contaminated with the inherent bad habits of the Song army, and it is very simple to change these inherent bad habits.
However, he could not be unhappy, because there was not much time left for him.
Relying on the inherent bad habits of the Song army and poor combat effectiveness, he was very likely to be defeated and even become a prisoner of the Jin army.
"Sure enough, the son raised by the stepmother is not as good as his own son!" Zhao Pu was sad in his heart.
From beginning to end, he was only an outsider, a supervisor of this army, not a general. Even if this army recognizes him, there is that kind of estrangement, this army has always been a family army, and it has the style of a family brother in its bones, and he wants to erase this army style and form his ideal army style.
It's hard, even defeated!
When an army is formed, the style of the first commander is also imprinted in the army: the first officer is cautious, and this army is also cautious; The first officer was brave and fearless, and so was this army; The first officer used strange soldiers, and this army was also weird; On the contrary, the military discipline of this army is lazy, and the first commander of this army is also a loose person.
This army, which he took over halfway, is like a stepmother. After all, the stepmother is not a personal mother, and if she wants to be recognized by the child, she can only accommodate the child and agree with the child's proposition, rather than letting the child follow his own path.
The stepmother said irresponsible remarks to the child, and the stepmother let the child follow his own path, which will inevitably lead to the child's rebellious psychology, and when the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will lead the child's extreme behavior.
It's like the Miao Liu Mutiny in history!
Zhao Pu felt that he, the stepmother, was making irresponsible remarks and letting him plan the future of the army, which had not yet triggered a backlash. It's just that his identity is too noble, after all, as a prince in the army, he is the first and probably the last.
But there is always a time when identity is exhausted, and that is the time of backlash............
…………
This night, Zhao Pu had insomnia, because of fear, unease, and fear.
When the next day, when the celebration meeting was held, many generals saw the haggard appearance of the prince, and his expression was extremely depressed, as if he was sick.
"Lord Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"This is in the army, call me the prison army!" Zhao Pudao.
"General, the big guy has been fighting fiercely for a long time, and he has finally eliminated the Jin Army, so it's time to celebrate!" Wang Yan said.
War, accompanied by serious military discipline, can drive people crazy; And the constant threat of death is a nerve-wracking tension. All of this can be a serious psychological stress. This is also the reason why during the war years, rape cases occurred repeatedly, even in the army of later generations, even if they were repeatedly sanctioned, it was also the reason why they were repeatedly banned.
When the pressure hits, you need to relieve the pressure properly.
As a result, after joining the army, soldiers are good drinkers, and some generals are even more addicted to alcohol, because alcohol can relieve stress. And camping prostitutes can also relieve stress, which is one of the reasons for the birth of Japanese comfort women.
And after the war, it's even more time to celebrate. Not only to celebrate the victory, but also to relieve mental pressure and alleviate the sadness caused by the death of comrades.
"It's time to relax, it's time to celebrate, but be vigilant!" Zhao Pudao thought in his heart: Serious military discipline, post-war summary, this is still after the celebration, let's hold it, don't sweep their interest.
…………
At the moment when the Song army celebrated, the grain and grass were robbed, and the news of the destruction of the 5,000 gold army also spread to the city of Taiyuan.
Wanyan Muhan was immediately angry, slapped the table and said angrily: "Damn, it's that bastard, he dared to kill my Jurchen son, this is looking for death, I want to kill him personally!" ”
And at this moment, Wan Yan Lou looked at the battle report, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "The combat effectiveness of this army is so strong!" In just one hour, it is to completely annihilate our Song army's 3,000 iron cavalry and 2,000 foot soldiers. This is not something that the ordinary army can be big, it must be the elite of the Song army! “
"To be able to move to the rear of our Song army, the army must not be too much, too much is easy to expose; If there are too many Song troops, it will inevitably increase the consumption of grain and grass, and it will be difficult to continue. I don't think there will be more than 10,000 Song troops. With less than 10,000 people, in half an hour, 3,000 iron horsemen and 2,000 foot soldiers were annihilated, and none of them broke through, this kind of strength is really terrifying. I don't know when the Song army had such a strong army! ”
"But it's strange that they appeared silently, how to avoid my Song army scout!"
Wan Yan Lou kept asking and answering himself, and one question after another rose in his heart, he couldn't guess, he still couldn't guess.
Originally, in this battle of Hedong, the biggest enemy was the Western Army, and the strongest enemy was the seed division.
If you lead your troops to confront the Jin army, even if you are invincible, you can contain it well. It is a pity that Li Gang, Xu Han and others did not know the art of war, and blindly instructed the division to advance, so they could only give up a large amount of baggage, lack of food and grass, and could only fight a quick battle with the Jin army.
The planter army perished, the planter died in battle, and there was no place to fight. In addition, it also caused the Song army who rescued Taiyuan to be shocked, like a frightened bird, constantly retreating.
At this time, Wanyan Lou was planning to annihilate Yao Gu and Zhang Jing's two Song armies, and then trap Taiyuan, who would have expected this situation. An inexplicable enemy appeared, suddenly appeared in the sunlight like a ghost, and then wiped out the 5,000 gold army, this battle was the biggest defeat since the south.
"Where does this enemy come from?"
Wanyan Lou Room thought about breaking his head, and he didn't think that such a powerful Song army would pop out there.
"Lou Mu, you are resourceful, do you have a way to fight the enemy?" Wan Yan Muhan asked.
Wanyan Lou said: "This is not difficult, Haidongqing soars in the sky, but there is a moment when his feet hit the ground; The wolves are uncertain, but the seasoned hunter can always find a trace! Centered on the battlefield, thousands of miles of searching, focusing on some remote mountain areas! As long as we know the slightest trace of this army, our army can be overwhelmed, enough to crush it! ”
"That's all it can be!" Wan Yan Muhan's eyes flashed hideous, and he said coldly, "Han dog, I think that robbing us of one-fifth of our grain can reduce the combat strength of our Song army, this is a dream!" There is no food, and after destroying these two Song troops, there will be one; Without food, there will be a big city in the Song Kingdom! ”
"That's all it can be!" Wan Yan Lou Room nodded, a little helpless.
The grain loss this time only accounts for one-fifth of the total grain and grass, and the loss is huge, but it is also within the scope of bearing. Once the Song army is defeated, the captured grain at that time will be enough to alleviate the immediate crisis.
…………
A butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can lead to a tornado in the United States a month later.
This shows that a small change can lead to a huge, even incalculable, change.
As a butterfly appears around the corner of history, flapping its wings, history is also undergoing subtle changes, unintentionally changing history. Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who once sent Jin Ying as a hostage, became Zhao Pu, the king of Yi.
At this moment, the war of annihilation, which did not exist in history, appeared, and attracted the attention of Wanyan Stickyhan, prompting him to launch an attack in advance and make every effort to destroy the two remaining Song armies, so as to turn Taiyuan into an isolated city.
The main force of the Jin army attacked with all its might, defeating the Yao Gu Department at Pantuo, east of Qi County, and the Zhang Hao Department at Jiaocheng, and the Song Dynasty's first rescue of Taiyuan failed. The loss of soldiers was more than 100,000, and countless money and food were consumed, but there was no result. Afterwards, Jiao Anjie was beheaded, and Yao Gu was demoted to Guangzhou.
At this time, Zhao Pu was instilling new military discipline in the whole army.
