The thirty-seventh plan, the hydrophobic meter.

It is necessary to make appropriate use of the situation of the country or the army to create some false images that can almost be chaotically true, so that the enemy will miscalculate, so as to enter into the design of our army and finally defeat the enemy.

The reason for this is to dredge the river, according to the characteristics of the water flowing to the lower place, the river water is deepened and widened, and the river water is introduced into the new channel, and the river water quickly enters the sea, so that it will not flood.

……

Song Jun was a little paralyzed.

With the capture of Qianzhou, tens of thousands of iron horsemen took the lead in rushing to the city of Jinzhou.

However, the main force in the rear had to attack Laizhou and Xizhou of the Liao State step by step. There is no doubt that this is a great opportunity.

If the main cavalry of the Song Dynasty is eaten, the Song Dynasty will be seriously short of cavalry, and the Song army without cavalry can do anything outside the pass?

Moreover, the Song army moved to come, and now the two countries have changed their form, either the Liao army is dead, or the Song army is defeated. Yelu Longqing quickly concentrated all the soldiers and horses, and the troops were divided into three routes and pounced on Jinzhou.

There are a lot of troops, and they didn't expect to be able to hide the news, so they only had to be fast.

More than 100,000 cavalry, and even Ding Zhuang of some tribes, almost reached more than 200,000 people, rushing to Jinzhou from all directions with lightning speed.

The main general is Ma Zhijie, the deputy general is Li Jixuan, the capital supervisor is Qin Han, and the pioneers are Tian Min and Zhang Ning.

All five of them are the best warriors of the first generation.

However, there were too many enemies, and when the country was ruined, the morale of the three armed forces was stimulated together, making up for the lack of combat experience and organizational chaos.

The fatal thing is that a large army will kill Anchang City, and will surround the Song army from the south.

Ma Zhijie has been fighting for a long time. Seeing that something was wrong, he ordered an immediate retreat.

Fortunately, these are cavalry. Fled relatively quickly, just as the Liao army opened the encirclement from the south. The Song army arrived, tore open gaps, and fled to the south. However, under the attack of the two armies, the Song army suffered heavy losses.

Yelu Longqing rode on his horse and shouted, "Chase! ”

There was no mistake in this order, and this Song cavalry was miserable, and they only cared about fleeing for their lives. The prospect of good Lu is that under the pursuit of the Liao army all the way, it may lead to this cavalry being able to disperse the camp of the Song army, thus achieving a great victory, and the prospect of bad Lu is to let this Song cavalry escape in time. And the Song army camp was ready. But that's okay, stop and prepare for the second decisive battle.

chased all the way, and tens of thousands of Song horses were killed miserably.

Just when the Liao army was about to stage a miracle, countless Song Dynasty infantry came out of Wuzhi Mountain and relied on the Liuzhou River to halve all the Liao army.

This is called a hydrophobic meter.

Don't think that the Song army can easily take the Liao State, there are not too many battles on the battlefield, such as the Battle of Weishui, what kind of weak soldiers and horses are the Eastern Jin Dynasty? The Battle of Chibi, with Liu Bei's defeated army. And those Jiangnan soldiers in Eastern Wu, how do they compare with Cao Cao's army?

It's a little better in Guannai, anyway, although those Han people are close to the Liao State. But without the leadership of a figure like Han Derang, it is difficult for them to be willing to fight to the death for the Liao State. However, outside the customs, the time and place are favorable. None of them were good for the Song army. If it doesn't get it right, it will happen again with the same bad results as the Battle of Chibi and the Battle of Weishui.

So Song Jiu was very careful. It just so happened that the Liao State sent an envoy.

The ministers of the Song Dynasty made two voices.

There is a premise, compared to the Han and Tang Dynasties. The Song Dynasty was indeed becoming introverted. It has nothing to do with Zhao Heng, but a national policy that Zhao Kuangyin made at the beginning of the founding of the country.

I don't want to hurt the interests of the people in the Central Plains, and do meaningless openings, so west of the Dadu River and south of the Jinsha River, I don't want to wave my hand.

This policy laid the foundation for the Song dynasty to become a wealthy dynasty.

Including Zhao Kuangyin's recovery of several countries, he also fights a country and rests for a few years before fighting. In this way, the people will not be under much pressure because of the war.

The Liao State also knew about the policy of the Song Dynasty, even if it was Song Jiu, it could not be changed, such as Beihetao, in fact, the Song Dynasty was able to send officers and soldiers to station, but it has continued to be restrained, no officials have gone there, and no soldiers have been stationed.

But for the four states of Pingluan and Jingying, the Liao State can also understand that if the Song Dynasty is not allowed to come here, then the portal will not be closed.

Therefore, the envoy went back to report, and everyone believed that Wang Qinruo's words were the bottom line of the Song Dynasty. As for what Song Jiu said about Yingzhou in the Tang Dynasty, no one took it seriously. After getting Pingzhou, repair the Yuguan Pass, you can form a defensive line, get the Xingzhong Mansion, try to ask where to repair, the lonely city hangs overseas, that is to send dim sum to the Liao State. This truth is like the previous Zhuozhou City, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were very brave, and they guarded it for more than a year, but they were still lost after the worst. Just like East Yizhou, because the terrain is flat and hangs in the north of Yishui, the Song Dynasty took the initiative to give up.

So the two voices confused the Liao State.

Some people also reminded Yelu Longqing not to be careless, including Xiao Xiaoyou, but he was quickly drowned in other chaotic voices.

The most important opinions, one is to fight to the death with the Song Dynasty and recover Yanyun.

Secondly, the first line of defense was built from Yuguan, and the second line of defense was built in Qianzhou, so as not to let the Song army go north.

However, one of the biggest opinions is to ask for peace.

Agreed to cede the four states to the Song Dynasty, but could not be called a vassal, once called a vassal can not rule the tribes, the Liao State poured into disintegration and division, avoided the sharp edge of the Song army, and then diligent government and love the people, prepare for war and train the army, learn the sentence to practice lying on the salary and taste the courage, and then wait for the Liao State to recover its vitality and take back Yanyun in one fell swoop.

So many sentences are there?

This is for himself to cede Yan Yun to borrow the steps.

As a result, there has always been no unanimity of opinion.

At this moment, Shi Pu landed from the sea with his soldiers and horses, and the Song army also launched an attack on Sizhou.

Some people came to their senses and knew that the Tao could not be good, but there were still many more people who were obsessed and continued to talk about sending envoys to negotiate peace. This wastes a lot of valuable time.

Actually, there is one more chance.

Generally, when the number of troops reaches tens of thousands or more, there will be a situation where the troops are divided into two sides. The reason is simple, if you don't divide the troops, you will be rigid, once frustrated, often produce a big defeat, such as the history of the battle of Weishui Fu Jian's former Qin army, the battle of Chibi Cao Cao's army, as well as the Song Dynasty army in the battle of the Gaoliang River in the Song Dynasty, Xiao Yanyan when he went south to Lanzhou Liao army. Let's compare it with history. If it weren't for various reasons, Zhao Heng would have made peace. Xiao Yanyan may not have good fruits to eat, if it weren't for Pan Mei and others in the Gaoliang River, they would stabilize the defeated army. The Liao army was not strong enough, and the Song army could be wiped out in the same way.

Generally speaking, if the scope is too narrow, losing the meaning of dividing the troops, in fact, it is equivalent to not dividing the troops, if the range is large, they cannot cooperate with each other, and they are often broken by the enemy.

A successful example is the battle of Tuyuhun in Tang. In the early stage, several Tang Dynasty armies marched between the large and small stone mountains, and when it came to the decisive battle, they had crossed the Sun Moon Mountain and started a battle on both sides of Qinghai Lake.

The most successful was the later Huaihai Campaign, in which the People's Liberation Army (PLA) always interspersed the area from Dangshan to Guxian and Xuzhou, moving, outflanking, maintaining superior forces, or encircling points to send reinforcements. Either force the surrender to rebel, or attack with superior forces. This is the most typical and successful example of a large-scale battle.

Examples of failures are the Song Dynasty's Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Of course, it may not be able to adapt to all battles, such as the Battle of Dafeichuan during which Xue Rengui and Guo Beifeng also divided their troops. And not far away. However, if the two will not get along, they will eventually fail.

However, Chang Yuchun and Xu Da went north, and the two armies were far away. However, they are each in charge of the war zone, and the requirements for mutual cooperation are not so intense. So although they were far away, they won in the end. So water is impermanent. Soldiers are impermanent.

But overall, this distance is extremely critical.

Therefore, Song Jiu paid attention to this distance when he launched several battles. Although it was far away in the Nanlaifeng Campaign, it was a battle that was launched in different time periods, one stage at a time, and the requirements for mutual cooperation were not strict.

This time, however, it was dangerous to have an army divide its forces.

That was Shi Pu's 20,000 Song army.

Seeing the large-scale action of the Song army, the Liao State was gossiping, and some people suggested that it was better to send heavy troops to attack Shi Pu's lone army in two directions.

After the war, Song Jiu felt very happy.

If the Liao army did that, it might not be able to wipe out Shi Pu's army, but Shi Pu's army would inevitably suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, the Liao army will be demoralized and faithful. If the loss reaches a certain point, it will have unimaginable consequences in the future.

First of all, it is now June, which is more advantageous to the Song army in this season to meet the Liao army, but the time before late autumn has become very short.

Secondly, the Liao army cannot be isolated from Liaodong, the two roads are connected into a line, the Liao army can get more reinforcements, the scope of activities is larger, and it may not win, but it will inevitably prolong its resistance time, then it will be late autumn!

When the casualties reached a certain point, remembering that the Song Dynasty had already obtained all the territory in the Guannei, including the future Shanhaiguan, and it was easy to feel content under the restrained system of the Song Dynasty, then more people would demand the withdrawal of troops. Led by them, including the three armies, they don't want to fight. When the time comes, there will only be a retreat, and once it retreats, it may be a permanent retreat.

But fortunately, Yelu Longqing, a tragic ghost, has such a long-term vision.

The Song Dynasty also did something that made him angry, and Zhao Heng issued an edict to make Yelu Longxu the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the general manager of the Youzhou Road march.

Don't take it seriously, this is the value of the living Liao Emperor, but it is impossible for him to enter the military power, and all he has is a false name, just like his Liao King.

It doesn't matter, the fateful thing is that the Song Dynasty got the jade seal of the Liao State from Yelu Longxu, and asked Yelu Longxu to write an edict in person, announcing that the states and the soldiers and civilians of the Liao State surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Although this is unlikely to be recognized by the Liao people, and even spurned by some people, there will still be some people who will be shaken by this.

It happened that Ma Zhijie was alone in the depths, so Yelu Longqing sent troops to Jinzhou despite the opposition of many people.

This also fell into the Song army's strategy.

This lone army didn't want to get credit quickly, Song Jiu's use of troops was so steady that Li Jilong and other generals were a little chilled, where would such a light plan be arranged? However, the Liao State doesn't know what to do.

And then there's the mountain. Why Kunlun Mountain has been repeatedly mythologized by China, that is, the importance of Kunlun Mountain, it is not important in Qinghai, not as tall as the Himalayas, not as magnificent as the Tianshan Mountains, you can see the area where it extends downward, Qinling, Funiu Mountain, Dabie Mountain, divides China into north and south, and then look up, Longshan (Liupan Mountain}, Loess Plateau, Luliang Mountain, Taihang Mountain, Yanshan, Nuruer Tiger Mountain, Daxing'an Mountains.

Yanshan used to be the sea, but it continued to go up to Lu, Nuruer Tiger Mountain, Black Mountain, Songling, Lushan, and Daxinganling.

Now Yanshan is still called Yanshan, Songling is still called Songling, but the bottom of Yanshan is renamed Lulong Mountain, Daxinganling is called Jinshan, as for Nuruer Tiger Mountain and Black Mountain, the two major mountain ranges are divided into many mountain names. Such as Ma Yu Mountain, Du Mountain. On top of Lu Mountain, there are green mountains and so on.

Except for a narrow plain by the sea, after moving to the state. To the west, there are hilly areas and mountain areas.

Ma Zhijie seemed to be a lone army, but before that, he swept away all the Liao outposts outside several lonely cities, and the Liao people lost their eyes and ears here, at least they could not get detailed information.

Later, the Song army sent Gao Qiong as the main general and infiltrated the mountainous area around Wuzhi Mountain.

The Liao army is desperately catching up, after all, it has only passed Xizhou, and there is still some distance from the Song army's camp, why not expand the results. In fact, in order to achieve the strategic goal this time, thousands of cavalry were killed by the Liao army.

This pursuit, even if Li Jing is alive, has also caused the army to be disconnected, not to mention the current Liao army.

Gao Qiong led the Song army to kill.

It just so happens that there is a river here called the Rokushu River.

The battle in the early stage was very miserable, and seeing that there were ambushes coming over, the Liao army turned its head and wanted to attack in two ways to eat this Song army. Gao Qiong ordered people to quickly destroy the bridge of the Liuzhou River. Then desperately hold this line of defense.

The Song army came from all directions, there were artillery, and now the number of artillery pieces has reached two thousand, except for some of which Shi Pu took away. Use the rest.

In addition, many earthen mines and gunpowder packs were planted in the ground, and countless ships were raised on the sea. On the boat, the Song army smashed the fierce fire oil to the shore with a trebuchet, and then took advantage of the southeast wind. Launch rockets.

Moreover, there are countless long-range and high-firing crossbows in the army.

Watching nearly half of the army languishing across the river. Yelu Longqing's heart was like a knife, and he ordered the three armies to frantically build a pontoon bridge and rush to the opposite bank.

However, regardless of what he did, the Liao army on the south bank was quickly eaten by the Song army in one gulp.

In this battle, more than 40,000 Liao troops were killed and more than 30,000 prisoners of war were captured alive.

However, the Song army did not cross the Liuzhou River, but sent Cao Yu as an envoy to the Liao army camp and put forward the conditions of the Song Dynasty.

"Your Majesty came to Youzhou in person, and it was only an overnight moment to destroy your Liao country, your country sent an envoy to negotiate peace, and Your Majesty took care of the happiness of the people of the two countries, so he also wanted to negotiate peace with your country, and return the coffin of the Queen Mother to your country. However, you still think that our China is a time when the five generations are divided, and you don't want to be convinced, and you don't want to return the land within my borders. ”

"Then fight, this is the result of the war, a war almost wiped out 100,000 of your soldiers and horses. I don't know how many troops your country can draw to fight our army. ”

"As a messenger, I have entered the camp of your country many times, in the Daimyo's Mansion, in Shanzhou, and negotiated peace with your Queen Mother, at that time, I came in all directions, and your Queen Mother not only did not return Yanyun, but on the contrary, regardless of life or death, she continued to blackmail me in the ten counties of Guannan, Flying Fox Pass and Bauhinia Pass."

"Unexpectedly, you will not punish the ring of defeat and continue to know whether you live or die. I will give you a chance, I want peace and friendship, but at this time and that time, we do not want to ask you for the territory of Liao, at least to restore the territory to the time of Cao Wei. ”

A unified dynasty, compared with Cao Wei, is indeed not excessive. But where was the northern territory in Cao Wei's time? It doesn't include Yunzhong, of course, even if it doesn't, Liao can't ask for it back. This refers to the northeastern territory, Changli County (Xingping Province, Chaoyang City), Xuansu County (Shenyang, Shenzhou, Liao), Liaodong County (Liaoyang, Tokyo, Liaoguo), Lelang County (Pyongyang), Obibang County (the area south bank of the Daedong River in North Korea).

The truth was said, but Cao Yu said it in a vague way, and mentioned again earlier that the Song Dynasty only wanted to get Guannei.

Therefore, this gave hope to the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State, and it was the best to negotiate peace.

This situation is very similar to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty in history, when the Jin Kingdom would fight and blackmail, which made the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers undecided, and even took out five million gold and fifty million taels of silver to give to the Jin Kingdom. At that time, one tael of gold fluctuated up and down to thirty or forty taels, and one tael of silver fluctuated up and down to three taels, that is, three or four billion taels of cash were extorted at once! What would happen if the money was given to the soldiers, to strengthen the city's defenses, and to build weapons?

There are too many similar examples in history, such as the Treaty of Shimonoseki signed between the Qing government and the Japanese after the First Sino-Japanese War, and compensated the Japanese with 200 million taels of silver. If you use this silver to prepare for war, what kind of benign effect will it have?

Don't talk about history, a dynasty that has fallen at the end cannot see history.

So history has come to this point, and it has made another big joke. (To be continued......)
