When the corpses were collected and returned to the camp, it was already past four o'clock in the morning.

That night, the Jin soldiers had no sleep, and Wanyan Lou's room was also full of exhaustion, and suddenly he realized that this operation seemed to be wrong.

War has always been about launching the best attack in the best place, at the best time, and obtaining the greatest benefits. It is not for the sake of fighting fiercely, not for the sake of righteousness, and to start a war recklessly. War is essentially a business, with the least amount of money to get the maximum benefit.

And this time he seems to be wrong!

This time, the reason why he personally went out to crusade against the remnants of the Jin army was to a large extent to vent his dissatisfaction with the marshal Wanyan Sticky.

The battle of Song and Jin has been going on for a year. At the beginning, there were many states and counties in the east of the river, only Taiyuan was difficult to overcome, he proposed to bypass Taiyuan, leaving only one to guard Taiyuan, most of the men and horses went south, raided Tongguan, Luoyang and other places, cut off the gateway for the Shaanxi army to rescue Bianliang, and at the same time blocked the Song emperor from fleeing west.

At that time, the Jin army of the east and west roads met under the city of Bianliang, smashed Bianliang, and captured the Song Emperor. Even if he can't break Bianliang in the end, he can force the Song State to sign a series of unequal treaties and reap enough benefits.

But in the end, he was rejected by Wanyan Sticky Han for many reasons, but the most important reason was that he had no conflict of interest with the second prince Wanyan and didn't want to make a wedding dress for him.

And the continuous attack on Taiyuan, to break through this city, the result is that the troops are stationed under the fortified city, a lot of grain and grass are consumed, many people die, and they still have not conquered it after several months. Fought a completely uneconomical battle. After all, Taiyuan is not Bianliang, nor is it one of the five capitals, it is just an important town in Hedong, rather than consuming a large number of troops here, it is better to consume it in Jingzhaofu or Bianliang.

However, Wanyan Muhan was determined to break through Taiyuan, and if Taiyuan was not broken, he would not withdraw his troops.

The two of them clashed violently over the issue of sending troops.

After the battle, Wanyan Muhan also regretted it, but the battle had been fought for several months, and it was no longer cost-effective to withdraw the troops. And once the troops are withdrawn, it means that the siege of Taiyuan fails, and it will be blamed and difficult by the high-level of the Jin State.

Then, Wan Yan did not leave the army from Bianliang, and when the Eastern Route Army retreated, he took the alliance under the city of the Song Dynasty and a series of harsh treaties, which can be said to be fully loaded; But Wanyan Sticky Han was still trapped under Taiyuan City, and he didn't gain anything at all, but many people died, and the Western Route Army was dissatisfied, but they were afraid of his majesty, so they could only endure it.

And summer came, and the hot weather was a huge torture for the Jin army, so Wanyan Muhan led the army north to Datong, leaving only Wanyan Lou Room to lead an army of 30,000 to besiege Taiyuan.

This made Wan Yan Lou Room feel dissatisfied again: You did the wrong strategy, but you asked me to wipe my ass, what's the matter!

30,000 Jin troops, besieging more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan, the strength is very weak, if the Song army reinforcements come at this time, or the Song army in Taiyuan City breaks through, with his strength can not support it at all. Once more than 200,000 Song troops gathered under Taiyuan City, he could only retreat at that time.

Fortunately, the Song army in Taiyuan City was more than defended and did not attack enough; What was even more fortunate was that the 200,000 Song army reinforcements, lacking unified command, divided their troops and marched forward; What's even more fortunate is that although the Song army has many soldiers and horses, there is an extreme shortage of grain and grass. This made Wan Yan Lou Room, who was in a gloomy mood, see a chance of victory.

So he chose a quick assault, a quick attack on the Song army, and when the three lines of the Song army had not yet converged, he launched an attack, wiped out the Song army, shocked the other Song troops, and relieved the siege.

As a result, the Jin army of Wanyan Lou Room and the Shaanxi army in the seed division collided violently, and the seed division was defeated, and he was killed in the battle of Xiongling. The defeat in the division shocked the other Song troops who came to the rescue, and made the other Song troops demoralize and stagnate. And Wanyan Lou Room seized the opportunity, calmly returned to the division, and defeated the Yao Gu Department in Pantuo, east of Qi County, and defeated Zhang Hao's Department in Jiaocheng.

The annihilation of the Song army of more than 200,000 people who rescued Taiyuan finally added a little color to the expedition of the Western Route Army, which is not too embarrassing in terms of the outstanding military exploits of the Eastern Route Army.

After the destruction of the 200,000 Song army, there was a vacuum in the strength of the Song army in Hedong, only Taiyuan City was still holding on, and the grain and grass had been exhausted. There was no suspense in the next battle, which made Wanyan Lou suddenly lonely.

And after learning that the remnants of the Song army robbed the baggage of the Jin army and annihilated the 5,000 Jin army, Wanyan Lou suddenly became interested and wanted to meet the Song army for a while.

This time I went out to the army, with a great degree of fun interest, like a cat catching a mouse.

It's just that the reality is too cruel.

This Song army made him see what is the impermanence of soldiers, the impermanence of water, and the cards are not played according to common sense in wars. first shot at the flagpole, hurting the morale of the Jin army; Tonight is even more night-fighting, in order not to let people sleep well. The 2,000 gold army pursued them, and the result was total annihilation.

And in addition, not adapted to the mountain climate, sick warriors; Soldiers who were bitten by poisonous snakes and injured by traps on the road.

At this time, the morale of the whole army was very low.

What's even more worrying is that this is just the beginning. Who knows what kind of battle will happen next.

And until this moment, there has been no shadow of the main force of the Song army.

"It seems that I should consider retreating, Hai Dongqing can't find the enemy, and the scouts can't find the enemy; However, the enemy can find our troops at will and attack at will. And once our army pursued, the Song army ran away, and with our familiarity with the terrain, we could not catch up at all, nor could we find it. ”

"In the past, when fighting on the plains, our army was not afraid of the Song army's sneak attack at all. On the plain, as far as the eye can see, there is no trace of shelter, as long as the Song army sneaks up, then don't think about running. The cavalry was dispatched, and the fast horses chased after the Song army, which would be able to completely annihilate the night attack. However, it is different in the mountains, which are full of rocks, trees, undulating mountains, etc., and there are too many shelters, with these covers, the Song army can easily attack our army at night with small troops, harass our army, and make it difficult for our army to sleep all night. And this is a mountainous area, the role of the iron cavalry is weak, it is not as good as a foot pawn, once the battle situation is not second, the Song army can easily retreat, the number is small, and it may be completely annihilated; There are many people, but they may not be able to catch it. Even if the Song army that completely destroyed the night attack, the Song army would only lose a few hundred, or thousands, and it would be difficult to hurt the bones, and it would not hurt! ”

Thinking of the various disadvantages of this dispatch, Wan Yan Lou Room frowned in his heart.

The Western Route Army, starting from Datong and heading south to Hedong, mainly attacked the plains or big cities in the river valleys along the way, mainly plundering grain, grass, gold and silver, population, and so on. For some remote states, counties, mountainous areas, etc., little attention is paid to the end of the game, and it is often the cavalry that passes by on horseback without paying attention to it.

Compared with big cities such as Taiyuan, these mountainous areas, small states and small counties, are just sesame.

Take the watermelon and throw away the sesame seeds.

For mountainous areas, small states, and small counties, there is not much attention or management; Even some large cities were handed over to the Han army of Liao, or occupied by the Khitan army, to defend the city. As the main force of the Jin army, it is mainly in the field, and the focus is on eliminating the main force of the Song army in the field.

This has an embarrassing phenomenon, the Jin army is in the land of Hedong, the army is strong, and the elite of the Song army has been wiped out, and it seems to occupy Hedong, but in fact it does not really occupy Hedong, and the taxes are not collected, the money and grain are not collected, and the cloth is not collected......

"Actually, I ignored it, my Jin army stayed in Hedong and fought fiercely for a year, and now Hedong is in chaos, and there are rebels everywhere, but these rebels are all local chickens and dogs, and they don't need to use my Jurchen elite at all, they only need the Han army in Liaodi to come out and easily solve them. Because the strength of these rebels is too weak, I also ignore these rebels, thinking that they are just minor troubles, and I am too lazy to care. ”

"No one takes pleasure in killing a fly because it's so boring. Until the remnants of this powerful Song army appeared, it seemed to be called ...... Eight-character army. It wasn't until the performance of this army that I noticed ......"

"Although the flies are small, they are numerous, and they are also noisy."

Suddenly, Wanyan Lou felt that he should learn the art of defending the city from the Han people and learn the principles of governing the people. Robbery of gold and silver, there will be an end to the moment; Looting grain and feeding the war with war is not a long-term plan. Only by being good at management can we last and live a better life.

In the grassland, grazing sheep and horses, thirsty can drink goat's milk, mare's milk; And when you are hungry, you can eat mutton to satisfy your hunger; And when clothes are missing, wool can be woven into clothes; When traveling the same way, you can use a horse-drawn carriage to carry things on the road. Sheep and horses are the source of food, clothing, shelter and transportation for the people of the grassland.

But in the Central Plains, the people are the source of food, clothing, shelter and transportation. If you are thirsty, you can drink tea; And when you are hungry, you can eat corn; And iron tools and other items also come from the people. These people are the sheep and horses of the Jurchens.

"Can't fight anymore! Hermes-Epitek is like a river, and my Jurchen is like a fish. Without water, the fish are destined to die of thirst. This Song army is extremely cunning, and it is difficult to catch it between the mountains. If the people of Hedong are gathered and distributed to the fields, farm tools, grain, etc., so that the cultivators will have their fields and the laborers will have their grain. Isolate the Song army, and the Song army ............"

Wanyan Lou Room was extremely smart, and quickly thought of a way to crack this Song army. This Song army, between the mountains, is uncertain and difficult to capture. However, they will not stay between the mountains forever, which is impossible, but will swim to some small states and counties to get supplies.

If you gather the people, divide the fields and the people, and then suppress the people who collude with the Song army, you will continue to isolate.

At that time, it was enough to starve these rats to death.
