No one who can go to the battlefield, fight hard, and become a general is a fool.

History books judge heroes by success or failure, losing is brainless, and losing is lack of wisdom.

The loser has no right to speak, and is destined to be reduced to brain-dead and intellectually lacking.

In novels, there will be brain damage and mental deficiency, but in real history, they will not appear.

Zhang Jun is planning, calculating the comparison of the strength of the enemy and me, and constantly expanding the odds of victory. In his opinion, this battle still has a great chance of winning.

First, Wanyan Lou is not a famous general, but he has been feared by Zong Han and others many times, and he was even deposed the year before, if it were not for the tense situation in the northwest and no one was willing to fight in the northwest, he would only continue to be deposed. After returning to the northwest, he changed from the position of marshal to deputy marshal, and Zong Fu and Zong Bi began to empty his power.

The internal disputes in the Jin State continued, giving the Song army an opportunity to take advantage of.

Second, after continuous campaigns, the Jin army was a little tired, and its combat power began to decline, and it was no longer invincible in the past. When Wanyan Lou Room invaded the northwest for the first time, he led a total of 10,000 Jin troops to crisscross the northwest, and more than 200,000 Song troops were defeated; But now the Jin army is in the northwest, hoarding nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, but it is difficult to replicate the glorious results of the past.

Third, the Northwest Army has been fighting continuously over the years, and its combat strength has recovered rapidly, and it already has a relatively strong offensive power.

These factors led Zhang Jun to decide to fight a big battle with the Jin army, even if he disobeyed the emperor's orders.

Of course, Zhang Junke allowed the Northwest Army to continue the confrontation, and the Northwest Army had Sichuan as its base and had sufficient supplies. can continue to be consumed; The Jin army lacked food and grass, and the land east of the river was unstable. If it takes a year or two, the Jin army will be defeated. Even if you are undefeated, you have to retreat.

However, seeing that the other Jin armies won victories one after another, while the Northwest Army was wasting out, without an inch of merit, and with no light on his face, he decided to take a risk.

Zhang Jun refused some generals to take advantage of their troops and defend first. After one or two years, we will make the correct plan for conducting a counteroffensive, select generals to manage the troops, and adjust the deployment. He donated 10,000 taels of gold, borrowed five years of people's endowments from the Sichuan and Shaanxi regions, and concentrated a large amount of grain, grass, money and silk for military needs. Determined to launch a major counteroffensive. Prepare to divide your troops to capture Tongzhou, Linzhou, and Yanzhou first, and then fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

The Jin army relieved the Song Dynasty of the flank threat of force, and decided to gather heavy troops to attack the Shaanxi region first, attempting to attack Shaanxi first, and then enter the east of Sichuan to destroy the Song Dynasty in a roundabout way. With the right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongfu to replace the Shaanxi capital Wanyan Lou Room as the commander of the attack on Shaanxi, Zongbi as the strategy.

The prelude to the war in the Northwest has begun.

In August, Zhang Jun released an article attacking Jin. ordered the Yongxing army to pass through the road to make Wu Jue recover Chang'an; Huanqing Road made Zhao Zhe recover Linzhou and Yanzhou, and won the first battle. made Zhang Jun despise Jin Jun even more. When the Jin Dynasty heard that the Song army was counterattacking, he hurriedly ordered Yan Zongbi to lead 20,000 elite cavalry from Luoyang to aid Shaanxi; After ordering Yan Lou to lead tens of thousands of troops from Hedong to Suide Army, he stopped the Song army from advancing eastward.

Between the various roads, the dogs and teeth are staggered, and the battle is fierce.

Zhang Jun thought that the time for a decisive battle had come, so he took Liu Xi, the envoy of the Xihe Road, as the commander of the capital, and led Liu Qi, the envoy of the Jingyuan Road, Sun Wu, and the envoy of Zhao Zhe and Wu Jue, with 180,000 men on foot and horse, known as 400,000, to assemble in the Fuping area of Yaozhou (now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi) located in the Guanzhong Plain, and he personally sat in Pizhou (now Bin County, Shaanxi) to supervise the battle.

In September, Liu Xi led the 5th Song army to the Fuping area, and Wanyan Zongfu led the Jin army to the lower eastern part of Fuping; The two armies were more than 80 miles apart. The Song army used a swamp overgrown with reeds as a barrier, camped in array, transported villagers with heavy baggage on all roads, and set up a village on the periphery of the Song camp.

The large army camp is dense, properly arranged, inspecting the camp, Zhang Jun is full of spirit, and feels that the time to establish great achievements has come, and the time to make a name for himself has come.

"How is the Jin army on the other side?"

"There are about 30,000 people in the Jin army on the other side, and the commander is Zong Bi!"

"Zong Bi, just a gentleman!" Zhang Jun is very disdainful of Zong Bi, and the only one who can attract his attention is Wanyan Lou's room.

"Beat the drums, Jujun!"

Soon the rumbling war drums sounded, and the generals gathered in the tent of the Chinese army.

A huge sand table was placed on the table, and the topography and topography of the Fuping area were laid out, and the deployment of Song and Jin's troops was clearly displayed.

Zhang Jun began to ask the generals, mainly whether the supply of soldiers was complete, whether the grain and grass were sufficient, and what problems still existed.

After asking around, Zhang Jun's face was a little gloomy, and he advanced to Fuping, which made the grain and grass transportation line of the Song army suddenly longer, making it difficult to transport grain and grass, and what was even more worrying was that some soldiers were not in good morale and were full of doubts about this battle.

To fight a war, the important thing is confidence, and if you don't have confidence, how can you still fight?

It seems that it is necessary to fight a small victory to boost the morale of the whole army.

"Marshal, now the Jin army is scattered, and there is only one soldier and horse of Zongbi in Fuping, but there are only more than 30,000 people. Before the Jin army converges, it is better to take advantage of the dispersion of the Jin army, first break the army of Zongbi, and then break the Lou room! One of the generals suggested.

"No, at this moment, Zongbi's army, there are more than 30,000 people, and the camp is high, and it is extremely difficult to conquer. If the attack cannot be carried out for a long time, the soldiers will suffer heavy casualties. At that time, the Lou Mur army came again. If you attack the front and back, our army will definitely be defeated! Another general objected.

"If the two golden armies converge, it will be more difficult for our army to win!"

Immediately, there was a quarrel in the camp, and there was a violent quarrel over whether to attack the Jin army camp.

Since ancient times, it has been difficult to attack and easy to defend, and the camp of 30,000 troops has been stormed, and I don't know how many soldiers have to die to break through. I'm afraid, I'm afraid, after the death of many Song army soldiers, still did not break through the Song army camp, at that time the morale declined, Wanyan Lou Room led the army to converge, and the situation was even worse at that time.

And once the Jin army can't hold the camp, they can evacuate.

The Jin army has strong cavalry, once it runs away, looking at the cavalry of the Song army, if you want to take the opportunity to chase and kill, the chance of victory is not great.

Zhang Jun thought for a long time, shook his head, and rejected the plan to storm the Jin army camp.

captured the camp of the Jin army, and the victory was won, but the results were not great; But if the attack on the Jin military camp was frustrated, it was a big demoralizer.

"Under the war book, I will fight with the fourth prince tomorrow!"

Zhang Jundao.

…………

The next battle book will fight, which is a necessary procedure for many regular battles in ancient times.

It's not pedantic, it's just a habit of fighting.

"Tomorrow will be the battle!"

Looking at the battle book, Zong Bi smiled.

"At this time, I am only 30,000 troops, and Zhang Jun's troops are at least more than 200,000. Among the more than 200,000, there were nearly 20,000 cavalry. 30,000 and 200,000 troops are fighting a battle, you are stupid, and I am stupid? ”

With a wave of his hand, Zong Bi threw the war book in the brazier.

Flames rose and burned the war book.

The Jurchens are less than 10,000, and they are invincible. At that time, when he was Emperor Taizu, he had this title in the hands of famous generals such as Zong Han, Zong Wang, and Lou Mur; In the Song army's combat effectiveness is extremely rubbish, and it will only appear when it is defeated at the first touch.

And the combat effectiveness of the Northwest Army is not weak, and Zong Han is also self-aware, he is not a famous general through the ages, just average.

30,000 to 200,000, the odds of winning are not big, but the chances of defeat are very big.

In that case, why should I go out to fight! (To be continued......)

PS: Look at the real history, the real Battle of Pupyeong.

Some history books are too biased and do not conform to real history at all.
