Chapter 114: The situation deteriorates
At night, it is again upside down, endless joy.
The next day, Zhao Pu left the Daimyo's Mansion and returned to the military camp outside.
In three days, the Daimyo's Mansion took out 1 million guan to reward the three armies, and took out 30,000 quintals of grain and hundreds of pigs to reward the army, Zhao Pu was also content, and he was too lazy to stay in the Daimyo's Mansion anymore.
When he came to the Daimyo's Mansion, he came to ask for money and food, and after he came, he was also content. As for the corruption of officials in the Daimyo's Mansion, Zhao Pu didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, the Daimyo's Mansion was going to fall soon, anyway, he didn't plan to establish a base in the Daimyo's Mansion, so he would be corrupt!
From leaving the barracks to a walk around the Daimyo's Mansion, it was only three days, but Zhao Pu felt like a world away.
In the Daimyo's Mansion, he saw a dynasty in decline, the last revelry, the sunset was infinitely better, just near dusk. And in the barracks, what he saw was the emergence of a strong army, the establishment of a new regime with a vigorous wave.
As long as the gun is firmly grasped, the political power will be there, the country will be there, and the expulsion of the Jin army will also be realized.
At this time, the eight-character army has completely entered the right track.
Under the guidance of the training syllabus, the whole army is still in intense training, and various squads, brigades, and battalions are confronting each other, and their combat effectiveness is constantly improving.
In training, there are not too many fancy, everything is realistic, and the training ground is the battlefield. The arrows holding the gray cloth flew together, as if it was raining, and the mandarin duck arrays were converging, constantly annihilating the enemy; And with the change of the drum and the change of the trumpet, the mandarin duck array changed into a scattered star array, welcoming the war horses that came first.
At this time, the rapid combination of chariots formed an iron wall that hindered the advance of the war horses.
Everything is in order.
At this moment, if you fight with the Jin army, you may still win less and lose more, but it will no longer be a big rout like in the past.
Among them, the biggest change is Wang Wuyue.
Born in a military family, she has been surprisingly sensitive to war since she was a child, and even Zhao Pu was secretly surprised by the command of the Mandarin Duck Formation and the mutual changes between the formations.
There will be five materials and ten passes. Five materials: bravery, wisdom, benevolence, faithfulness, loyalty. Courage is not to be committed, wisdom is not to be chaotic, benevolence is to love others, faith is not to deceive, and loyalty is not double-minded. Ten transgressors: those who are brave and lightly die, those who are anxious and quick-hearted, those who are greedy and profitable, those who are benevolent but not forbearing, those who are wise and cowardly, those who believe in others and like to believe in others, those who are honest and do not love others, those who are wise and slow-hearted, those who are resolute and self-serving, and those who are cowardly and happy to let others.
In short, famous generals are only relative, and winning all battles is also relative, and each general has corresponding advantages and fatal weaknesses.
There are no perfect generals in the world, just as there are no perfect people.
In Zhao Pu's view, generals are divided into three types, one is good at bravely rushing and killing, brave generals, and fierce generals; One is that there are people who are good at managing logistics, good at mobilization, and strict military discipline, which is a wise general; The third type is that he is good at commanding the battle and commanding the army, such as the arm, which is a famous general.
And after carefully counting the generals under him, Wang Yan belongs to the comprehensive category, and he has all three points, which is relatively balanced; And Wang Daniu and Zhao Sanhe belong to brave generals, rushing to the front, fighting with the enemy is okay, but the management logistics are somewhat insufficient; And Li Quan belongs to special operations, and this kind of large corps is not good.
And Wang Wuyue is the strongest in commanding in battle, like an arm, and in terms of rapid response, even Wang Yan is not as good. However, her disadvantage is that she is not good at logistics management.
"There is still a lack of talent!" Zhao Pu was suddenly a little lost.
The competition of this era, to a large extent, is the competition of talents.
To a large extent, the outcome of a war is a contest of mobilization capability and military strength.
The two Song armies went south, which seemed to be a battle between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State, but in fact it was just a competition between the four regions of Henan, Hebei, Shaanxi, and Shanxi and the Jin State. In the south of the Huai River, the Sichuan region was not affected by the war at all, it was still as calm as before, and the atmosphere of the war was not felt at all, the scholars still went to the Qinglou to have fun, the officials were still corrupt, and the reserve army was not mobilized.
However, for this war, the Jin State mobilized a large number of war horses in the area under its jurisdiction, the people of all ethnic groups, and the Song soldiers who surrendered, using all the available resources and mobilizing all the available manpower.
In terms of popular mobilization, it is already inferior.
In terms of military strength, the Jin army is cavalry, and the infantry is also elite, and these soldiers have experienced more than ten years of war against Liao; Although the Song Dynasty had a million forbidden troops, it was seriously paid and had no training for a long time, and it was already a tofu scum.
Although the Western Army has strong combat effectiveness, it is still inferior.
In terms of generals, there are a large number of famous generals such as Wanyan Inseparable Voice, Wanyan Sticky Han, Wanyan Lou Room, etc., all of whom have experienced the battle of destroying Liao, the cavalry quickly assaulted, surrounded in a roundabout way, and the various tactical operations were ingenious.
And what about the Song Dynasty? The Jin army coerced Bianliang, but for a while, they couldn't find a suitable general, so they could only be Li Gang's scholar and serve as the commander of the capital garrison.
"Famous generals are not created in a day, Yue Fei doesn't know where to stay in that corner, and Han Shizhong doesn't know where he is. Wang Yan is by his side, but he is still a little jerky in commanding operations, besides, he is only a famous general, not a marshal! Zhao Pu secretly commented in his heart.
At this moment, relying on this strength to compete with the Jin Army, it is still a little poor.
…………
Just arrived in the camp, in less than half a day, just after a nap, I was woken up by Wang Wuyue.
"Lord Wang, Bianliang is here again!"
Zhao Pu's pajamas disappeared completely all of a sudden, and he was clever and saw each other quickly.
In the big tent, Zhao Pu met a person from Bianliang, who was dressed in tatters, looked haggard, and had bloodshot eyes, as if he hadn't slept for several days. Although this person was extremely embarrassed, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he fell to the ground on his knees.
"Lord Wang, help, Bianliang crisis, Bianliang is for the inner three layers, the outer three layers, the Jin army attacks day and night, the attacks are continuous, like a flood, Bianliang can't hold out for long, the prince quickly sent troops to rescue Bianliang, otherwise Bianliang will be broken, and the world will be closed!" The man fell to his knees and cried.
Zhao Pu's heart shrank, although he knew that Bianliang was dangerous, but until this moment, when he heard the news in person, he was still shocked, was Bianliang really going to fall?
"Where is the letter?"
"The letter is here!" The man took off his shoe and took out a letter from the sole. The letter was wrapped in oiled paper, and a letter was taken out from the oiled paper, Zhao Pu opened the letter, only to see that it was written: "My brother inspires ............"
After reading the letter, Zhao Pu said without hesitation: "Your envoy, please rest assured, I will immediately send troops to rescue Bianliang." “
"Thank you, Lord Wang!"
"Da Song, it's my Zhao family's world, we don't work hard, who works hard!" Zhao Pu said. In my heart, I said, the fall of Bianliang is already a foregone conclusion, why should I, a single tree, find it uncomfortable. Rescue Bianliang, what are you kidding, more than 10,000 people and horses are not enough for the Jin army to fight tooth sacrifices.
…………………………
And at this moment, Bianliang has reached the moment of life and death.
Song Qinzong has always underestimated the Jin army, in his opinion, the Jin army is just a group of barbarians, as long as he sends some money, it is enough to let these barbarians leave. But these barbarians are showing a tenacious character at this moment, not hitting the south wall and not looking back, not breaking the Bianliang and not withdrawing troops.
Several attacks attempted to break the siege of the Jin army, but failed. Cao Yun was cut off, foreign food was completely cut off, and millions of Bianliang people were in a desperate situation, and thousands of people were starving to death every day, and the number was still increasing.
That's when hope arises.
At this time, the Jin soldiers had approached Kaifeng, Kyoto, and Zhang Shuye received Song Qinzong's codex immediately after his arrival, and personally led his two sons Zhang Bofen, Zhang Zhongxiong and 30,000 subordinates to Beijing to escort them in the starry night. [Passing through the Weishi area, he encountered the invading Jin soldiers, so Zhang Shuye led the army to fight and advance, killing the enemy all the way, and arrived in Kyoto at the end of November. Song Qinzong personally met with Zhang Shuye, who had come to King Qin in a bloody battle, at Nanxunmen. At this critical time of the war, Song Qinzong successively conferred the titles of Bachelor of Yankang Hall and Bachelor of Senior Administration Hall on Zhang Shuye, and conferred the post of Privy Council (deputy chief of the Privy Council, the central military leadership body), and entrusted him with the important task of commanding the overall military situation.
Zhang Shuye once proposed to Song Qinzong: "Now that the enemy's edge is sharp, it is better to ask the holy driver to temporarily go to Xiangyang to avoid the army." ”
However, the severity of the situation made it impossible for Zhang Shuye to implement the retreat plan. The Jin soldiers further intensified the siege of Kyoto, and Zhang Shuye was ordered to organize the Song army to carry out a fierce defense battle in the Gyeonggi area. He personally led the army to fight with the Jin soldiers for four days, killed and captured a large number of Jin soldiers, beheaded the opponent's Jin Huan and the noble general, and won a partial battle victory. Song Qinzong was overjoyed, sent envoys out of Beijing to deliver the message, announced to all provinces in the country, preached and praised Zhang Shuye's military exploits, ordered the governors of all prefectures and counties to lead troops to Qin Wang, and deposed Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong of the main war, and changed the order of He Shu and Sun Fu to the main battle, but still no generals came to help.
Everything seems to be moving towards a good form.
Song Qinzong's heart was full of joy, in his opinion, the Great Song Dynasty was still able to produce many people; The first siege of Bianliang relied on the planter to relieve the siege; This time, the siege of Bianliang relied on Uncle Zhang to relieve the siege at night.
