Chapter 364: Surprise attack on Luoyang
PS: Chapter 3 has arrived, chapter 4 later
At this time, in Bianliang City, the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu was restless, looking a little panicked.
The Song army went on a northern expedition, known as a million-strong army, and swept the north, with the purpose of destroying the puppet regime of the puppet state of Jin, the puppet regime of the puppet state of Jin, in order to kill him, a traitor dog.
The three-way northern expedition, the momentum between the various roads is like a bamboo, the fierce battle for a month, the puppet Qi has lost more than 100,000 troops, and countless troops have defected, and countless cities have surrendered without a fight, and the middle route army is even more ferocious, with the momentum of smashing Bianliang and capturing him.
At this time, the pseudo-Qi could only shrink most of the troops, hold on to some key points, and wait for reinforcements from the Jin army.
"Your Majesty, this is a letter from Li Pojun, Marshal of the Middle Route Army!" At this time, a courtier stepped forward and handed over a credential.
Sitting on the dragon chair, Liu Yu took the letter, there was no content of persuasion to surrender, and there were no gorgeous sentences, only cruel words, the general content was that Liu Yu was a child, and he dared to be the emperor, this is the birthday star who eats arsenic and is tired of it. At this time, no one in heaven or on earth can save you, not even your master will save you from your mortal fate. Nowadays, it is better to go out of the city and surrender on your own initiative, just to cut off your head; If you resist to the end, you will destroy your nine clans.
Looking at the national letter, Liu Yu scolded: "Li Pojun's child, it's really hateful!" It's so deceitful! ”
As he spoke, he angrily tore up the letter and flew into a rage.
From the letters, you can see that Li Pojun is arrogant and domineering, and he has nothing to do.
"Your Majesty, Marshal Jin Guo Wan Yan Chang has arrived!" At this time, a courtier said cautiously.
"It turns out that Yan Chang has arrived!" Liu Yu immediately showed a look of joy, and finally his safety was guaranteed, "Hurry up, welcome the marshal!" ”
…………
At this time, Bianliang was somewhat dilapidated, and it was no longer prosperous in the Northern Song Dynasty. It's just that Bianliang's location is too important, it is at the core of the Central Plains, and it is the best hub to attack the Song Dynasty in the south.
At this moment, the gate of Bianliang City is opened, the lights are colorful, and the clear water is sprinkled on the road, as if it is the New Year.
And Emperor Liu Yu has already led many courtiers to greet Wan Yanchang ten miles away.
The sun is already in the sky, and the weather is getting hot. It's just that Wan Yanchang hasn't appeared yet, Liu Yu only felt the heat on his body, sweat left on his cheeks, wiped it and continued to wait.
It wasn't until the sun was on the horizon that Wan Yanchang arrived.
First in hundreds of flags. Under the guidance of thousands of soldiers, he is responsible for opening the way. Behind is a sixteen-horse horse-drawn yellow chariot. Coming slowly. Behind Xiulong Huang Yu. It is 128 guards with horses on their hips and swords hanging from their waists to protect both sides. The line meandered in as many as 20,000 people.
"Meet the marshal!" Immediately, under the leadership of Liu Yu, many civil and military generals fell to their knees.
Although Liu Yu was the emperor. But he is self-aware, he is just an emperor, and he can become an emperor mostly by relying on Wan Yanchang to speak, and he does not dare to be a little slack at this time. I am afraid that this marshal of the Jin Army will be a little displeased.
"Get up!" Wan Yanchang's faint voice came from the carriage.
Liu Yu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally received this master.
returned to Bianliang, and was picking up the wind and washing the dust, putting on a feast, and waiting carefully. When everything was almost the same, Liu Yu finally asked: "Marshal, I don't know how many Jin troops there are, rescue me Daqi?" ”
"This time the Song Dynasty is dead!" Wan Yanchang said proudly, "This time, I used 500,000 soldiers and horses to attack from the east and west, I am responsible for sitting in Bianliang, Zong Han is responsible for sitting in Jinan, and Zong Fu is sitting in Jingzhao Mansion. As long as the elite of the Song army perishes, then our army will take the opportunity to go south, cross the Yangtze River, smash Hangzhou, capture Zhao Pu, and destroy the last root of the Zhao family. ”
"And at that time, my Dajin was in the north, and Daqi was in the south, as long as Daqi gave enough silver taels, my Dajin could ensure the eternal existence of the Great Qi Kingdom!"
Wan Yanchang gushed out.
The courtiers of the pseudo-Qi listened carefully, and only felt full of confidence, only some generals showed doubts, and seemed to be a little unconvinced.
"The heavenly soldiers of the Jin Kingdom are invincible in the world, how can the little Zhao Pu be an opponent, this Northern Expedition will undoubtedly be defeated, once the Song army is defeated, then take advantage of the situation to attack, you can sweep the south of the Yangtze River and dominate the world!"
"The Jin army will win, and the Song Dynasty won the war!"
"It's a pity, Zhao Pu'er, I don't know the current affairs!"
"The Song Dynasty has been exhausted, and it is the moment for my Great Qi to rise!"
The civil and military forces present immediately patted their ass.
And Wan Yanchang is triumphant!
"Oh no, General, there is a Song army near Luoyang!" At this time, a herald entered quickly, which was an eight-hundred-mile rush, and would only be dispatched in case of danger. And every time it is dispatched, it means that 100,000 are urgent, and there is no time to delay.
"Bang!" After Yan Chang paused, he was angry and fearful, waved his hand and slammed the wine glass on the table, and immediately made a crisp sound.
The civil and military forces present were immediately frightened, and they were silent.
At this time, Liu Yu shrunk his neck, and his heart was terrified.
"Surprise attack on Luoyang, isn't this looking for death?" Wan Yanchang said disdainfully, "Luoyang has 30,000 soldiers and horses of our Jin army stationed, the city is dangerous, the defense is tight, and it is as solid as gold, even if the Song army uses 100,000 soldiers and horses, it may not be able to break through!" ”
"Once the Jin army is stationed in Luoyang and cannot be conquered for a long time, then I will send troops to cut off the back road of the Song army, and the Song army will definitely die!"
said this, but Wan Yanchang was panicked to the extreme in his heart, the calmness on his face was more disguised, and looking at the military situation, the panic was even more incomprehensible.
The so-called 30,000 soldiers and horses to defend is true, but the combat power is not very good, it can only be second-rate, and if there is a defense, it is possible to hold Luoyang, but if it is attacked by surprise, it is very likely to be lost.
The mountains and rivers of Luoyang are dangerous, there are many dangers and passes around, the east of Luoyang is the Tiger Prison Pass, it is located in the southwest of Xingyang Bianshui ten miles, the south is connected with Songyue, the north is close to the Yellow River, the mountains are staggered, and it is a natural danger. There is a trend of "one husband is the pass, ten thousand people are not open";
The north is Mengjin Pass, Mengjin Pass is bordered by the Yellow River in the north, and the Biling Mountains are in the south, there are mountains and rivers as supports, and the pass is convenient to hold, forming the situation of controlling the river with the pass and guarding the pass with the river;
To the west is Hanya Pass. Hangu Guanxi according to the three Qin, south of the Qinling Mountains, north of the Yellow River, is the throat between Luoyang and Xi'an;
Yique Pass is the only way for Jingxiang to go north to Luoyang, and it is an important pass to block the northward advance of Jingxiang's army;
Guangcheng Pass in the southeast, this pass sandwiches a river between two mountains, there is Changworm Mountain in the northeast, there is Dama Mountain in the southwest, it is the fortress leading to Ruying since ancient times, in case the enemy of Yingzhou invades Luoyang. Then there is the Yuyuan Pass. This pass is the shortcut to Xu, Chen in Luoyang, located in the Eling Mountain, between the Taimur Mountain and the Shaomu Mountain, the road is dangerous, circling around. Guarding this pass, the enemy in the direction of Xu and Chen can hardly invade Luoyang.
The surrounding mountains and rivers are dangerous. It is also located in the central area of the Central Plains. The status is important, second only to Bianliang.
Once Luoyang is lost and the city near Luoyang is controlled, it will be a fatal blow to the Jin army.
At that time, the Middle Route Army could unite with the Shaanxi Army to recover Guanzhong; It can also go north to unite with Wang Yan's Hedong Righteous Army; It can also join forces with the Eastern Route Army to attack Bianliang. No matter which step you take, you have taken the initiative.
And most importantly. A large amount of grain, grass and military horses were hoarded in Luoyang, which were used to attack Shaanxi and Hanzhong in the west and sweep Sichuan. Once these military funds are damaged. It must be to hinder the Jin Army's further attack, which is the most terrible.
In an instant, a cold sweat broke out on Wan Yanchang's body, and he felt unprecedented fear in his heart.
It's just that he still has a proud smile on his face, and said lightly: "Ben Shuai is going to attack and annihilate the Song army under Luoyang City!" ”
There were no extra words, and after Yan Chang left the banquet, he straightened out the military horses and wanted to attack Luoyang.
…………
When Yan Chang reorganized his troops and horses, planning to attack Luoyang and annihilate the Song army under Luoyang City, Li Pojun was standing on the city wall of Luoyang, full of spirit and interest.
At this time, Luoyang had already been broken by the Song army.
People must be self-aware and know how many pounds and taels they have.
His parents were born as slaves, and he was born as a slave, if there is no accident, he will be a slave for the rest of his life, and he will marry his mother-in-law in the future, and live a lifetime, as for making meritorious contributions and becoming famous thousands of miles away, this is too far away from him.
Later, because of something, he killed people and was exiled to the northwest, where he tattooed words on his face, and was considered a member of the Thorn Army.
has been fighting in the northwest, maybe drinking today, dying tomorrow, and a lifetime has passed like this.
It wasn't until the Battle of Hedong began, when he began to follow King Yi and became one of the important generals of the Bazi Army, that his fate began to change.
When he became the battalion commander, he was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be promoted.
In the northwest, if you want to become a battalion commander, most of them have to send money, or pull connections, or go through the back door. And he is just a big old man, he doesn't know how to make sycophants, he has no savings, and his temper stinks, so he has been mixing at the bottom.
And that time, he didn't send money or tie up, so he was promoted to the commander of the battalion, and the actual number of troops he commanded far exceeded the level of the battalion.
He was promoted only because of his outstanding talent!
At the moment of his appointment, he was moved in his heart, and he felt that he had died for his confidant.
This was the moment when his life really began, and the previous years were all in vain.
That year, he was twenty-three years old!
After that, he followed the emperor to fight, made many military exploits, and later participated in the military academy to learn the art of war, and his vision and knowledge were greatly improved.
And this time, he became the marshal of the Middle Route Army, went out of Xiangyang, and attacked the central part of the puppet Qi.
Xiangyang is extremely important and cannot afford to be lost, so the main force is mostly defensive, and the total number of soldiers and horses dispatched to attack is only more than 30,000, compared with the Eastern Route Army, the number is too small. Before the attack, the Central Route Army was also mainly in response to the Eastern Route Army, playing the role of an auxiliary soldier.
It's just that Li Pojun will not allow himself to play a supporting role?
"The main army, partial army, this is not based on the number of soldiers and horses, but on the merits of the war, as long as I get the great merit, I am the protagonist of this Northern Expedition. Yue Fei, you are very strong, but I am not inferior to you! ”
"The capture of Luoyang is just the beginning; Then we have to annihilate the main force of the Jin Army, and that is the feast! ”
Li Pojun said in his heart, planning another ambush plan. (To be continued......)
