Chapter 9 Saying Falling, Calculating
At the beginning of the morning, Wanyan Bird got up as usual, took his sword from the inside of the bed tent, and walked to the back garden. Getting up early to dance the sword is his usual habit. Fang Bi, who danced the sword, had just sat down to have breakfast, and the soldiers came to report that Fang Chennan was here.
Fang Chennan is a counselor of the army, and he is very trustworthy. After the initial battle with the Red Turban Army was frustrated, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go and surrender with his incorruptible tongue, and today is the day of departure.
beckoned Fang Chennan to sit down, and after Yan Bode had dinner with him, he talked while eating, and discussed the matter of negotiation and surrender.
"The governor of the government and the capital will definitely not work, at most he will be the envoy of the festival." Wanyan Bode speculated about the maximum amount of the imperial court, and said uncertainly: "Even so, the imperial court may not agree." ”
The local administration of the Jin Dynasty was modeled after the Liao and Song systems, and a four-level system of roads, prefectures, prefectures, and counties was established. The road set up soldiers and horses to be in charge of leading the army; The government where Lu Zhi is located is called the governor's office, and the soldiers and horses are in charge of the government and the government Yin, and the state assassins and festivals are in charge of both the military and the civilian.
Shandong is divided into East Road and West Road, the East Road is beneficial to the capital and Jinan Mansion, and the West Road has Dongping Mansion. Meng Jiucheng's price is very high, at least he is also the governor of Yidu Mansion and the governor of the government.
Fang Chennan was a little embarrassed and said: "Meng Jiu is not well-known, but he is very arrogant. But he has already occupied the land of three states, and one festival is not enough. ”
Wanyan Bode stopped his chopsticks, groaned for a while, and said: "Stabilize him first, if he is not our enemy, we can dispatch men and horses to sweep the counties of Jiaoxi." Finally, looking at the meaning of the imperial court, whether to exterminate or surrender, we must be much calmer. ”
Fang Chennan nodded, also a little helpless about this.
The Jin army cobbled together its troops, thinking that after suppressing Yang An'er, it would be able to deter the rest and receive the goal of winning without a fight, but the actual situation was disappointing.
First of all, the losses of the Jin army in continuous battles were not small, and there was a shortage of food and wages, which was all maintained by looting. The result of this is that a group of people have been suppressed, but another group has been forced to rebel.
The second is the influence caused by Meng Jiucheng, the Red Turban Army used the tunnel blasting to help Liu Erzu break through the state city, so that Liu Erzu's troops were connected and their power was great. Liu Erzu and Hao Ding united with Zhang Ruji of Jinan and Cheng Bangjie of Xingzhou and other rebels to attack the city and plunder the county and threaten Jinan; Peng Yibin, Shi Si, Xia Quan and other allied forces attacked Pizhou, and Xuzhou was also in danger.
Such a result can be described as "pressing the gourd to float the scoop". Yang An'er, who claimed to be the king of the system, was defeated, and his remnants were still to be exterminated; Li Quan of Weizhou and Linqu was not invited to surrender and continued to make trouble; Liu Erzu's power was large, and he made chaos in Jinan Mansion on the east and west roads of the mountains.
After the Jin Dynasty moved its capital, a new defense system had to be established, the regime had to be stable, and the society had to be stable. If you want to increase the number of troops in Shandong, it will be impossible to do it for at least one year.
Therefore, Susan Anzhen strongly advocated the surrender of the rebels, hoping to achieve the greatest gain at the minimum cost. Otherwise, he is already the only mobile force in Shandong, and it will be useless to be exhausted.
Wanyan Bird can be suppressed, and he can't be exterminated and then surrendered. The success of the surprise attack of the other party's Guo Sansuo army boosted his arrogance, but the frustration of the battle with the Red Turban Army forced him to come up with a way to surrender.
After all, the men and horses of his department, but they were finally transferred, and they were trapped in a Mizhou city for a long time, and they could not attack the rebels in Jiaoxi counties, which was not the only task given to him by the servants who stayed at home.
"If you want me to see it, there is still a lot of hope for recruiting Meng Jiucheng." Wanyan Bode smiled and said, "If he is determined to be an enemy of our army, why should he send gold and silver treasures when our army first arrives?" ”
Fang Chennan's face turned slightly pale, and he said with a smile: "I think I was shocked by the general's military might, and defeated Fang Guosan in one fell swoop, it was really a divine soldier descending from the sky." ”
Wanyan Bode was also very proud, pretending to be modest and waving his hand, and said: "I still want to fight Mr. Zhan, if you can recruit Meng Jiucheng, not only can your army let go of its hands and feet, but also make it attack the traitors." In this way, the situation on the East Road can be changed! ”
"Humble and provincial." Fang Chennan pondered for a moment and said: "It is not only a surrender, but also an inquiry, and he will try his best to find out the truth of the Red Turban Army, so that the general can understand the plan." ”
"So there is Mr. Law." Wanyan Bode nodded with a smile and said, "In order to show sincerity, Mr. can return all the gold and silver treasures sent by Meng Jiucheng." ”
"Thank you, General." Fang Chennan knew that this was the favorable conditions that Wanyan Bode had created for himself, who didn't love money, Wanyan Bode had done this, which showed his ardent expectations for himself.
…………..
It is necessary to maintain a position and avoid attracting the attention of the main force of the Jin Army too early, which is a very difficult thing for Meng Jiucheng to think about.
It's not to harm others and benefit oneself, or to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but the preparations have not been completed, and the Red Turban Army does not have that strength.
The base area that has been painstakingly established, once defeated, will be dilapidated, and Meng Jiucheng will have to do it if he doesn't want to send people under the fence.
Earthquake thunder, sell! Pine cannon, sell! Stone thrower, sell! Salt, sell!
From weapons and equipment to living materials, Meng Jiucheng opened the door to Liu Erzu's department. It's not to make money, but to make the righteous army more powerful, so that the Jin army will lose sight of one or the other.
Although other rebel armies attacked the city and occupied the county, there were tens of thousands of horses at every turn, and it seemed to be prosperous. But Meng Jiucheng knew that they lacked the patience and means to operate and govern, and sooner or later they would be dragged down by money and food. Meng Jiucheng only hopes that they can hold on for a long time and give themselves time to develop and consolidate.
The Red Turban Army gathered tens of thousands of horses on the northern front to confront the Jin army, and the pace of expansion slowed down.
But the east is not bright and the west is bright, in Haizhou, Xiao Ying surrendered a red jacket army led by Guo Wei and Zhu Chun, occupied the land of Quanzhou, and captured Lianshui County; Zheng Si'an continued to infiltrate and develop northward in Juzhou, occupying Yishui County.
In this way, the strategic situation of the entire base area will be in an advantageous position. to the west is the Yimeng Mountains occupied by Liu Erzu's department; in the southwest is the rebel army of Peng Yibin and Shi Si; In the northwest are Linqu and Qingzhou, and Li Quan's department is active; Only Wanyan Bird of Michigan is left, and he is an enemy that needs to be focused on.
Therefore, Meng Jiucheng did not take the initiative to attack on the surface, and seemed to be waiting for a negotiated surrender, but he secretly dispatched troops and concentrated weapons and equipment to prepare for an attack on Wanyan Bode.
Regarding Fang Chennan's arrival, Meng Jiucheng has no problem with the number of etiquette, and behind the pretending to be rude and arrogant, he is calculating. This also caused a certain misjudgment to Fang Chennan, thinking that Meng Jiucheng was a wall grass, and the reason why he didn't make a decision was to wait and see.
