Chapter 139: Pit Daddy (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
After Xiuzhou City, the last granary of the Zhao and Song dynasties in eastern Zhejiang, was pulled out by the Tiger Army, the Song army on the northern line of the river, which had been attacking Zhenjiang City for a long time, slowly fell into trouble.
- They have no food.
This is definitely not a small problem.
Throughout the ages, there have been far too many armies that have mutinied because of lack of food.
Liu Yanqing sent people to sneak across the Yangtze River and ask Tong Guan to give them these Song troops on the northern line who crossed the river to think of a way.
But Tong Guan can't break the blockade of the Yangtze River by the Huben Water Army, what good way can he do?
Tong Guan consulted with his staff, and finally asked Liu Yanqing to send someone to ask Tan Zhi and Cai You for food, and even consider joining forces with the Song army on the Western Front.
Liu Yanqing was very dissatisfied with the strategy given by Tong Guan.
First of all, Tong Guan didn't have a brain at all when he came up with this idea.
Be.
Because of the decisive battle with the Song army on the Western Front, Fang La withdrew the Fang Seven Buddha Fang La's righteous army entrenched in Xuanzhou and Chizhou.
But the problem is that the Fang Qi Buddha Fang Layi Army has withdrawn, but the Tiger Ben Army has not withdrawn.
-- The eastern part of the Tiger Army is still entrenched in the area of the Guangde Army, and even its tentacles have extended a lot.
If the grain delivery troops of the Song army dare to send grain from under the nose of the eastern part of the Soviet Union, do you think that the eastern part of the Soviet Union will intercept the grain and grass of the Song army?
Secondly, at present, the Song army on the Western Front is not so much commanded by Tan Zhi and Cai You, but rather by the Seed Master Dao.
What is the relationship between Liu Yanqing and Seed Master Dao?
Liu Yanqing is the successor of the seed master selected by Zhao Ji and Tong Guan, and the relationship between the two can basically refer to the relationship between Tan Zhi and Tong Guan and Wang Hao and Cai Jing.
Moreover, Liu Yanqing was the commander of the capital personally appointed by Zhao Ji and Tong Guan, and this time he went south to suppress Fang La and Li Cun's rebellion.
And the prestige of the seed master is high, and he has just made great achievements, and his temperament is stubborn, and he is still the actual commander of the Song army on the Western Front.
In this case, after he, Liu Yanqing, led the army to merge with the Song Army on the Western Front, was he Liu Yanqing in charge of the Seed Master Dao, or was the Seed Master Dao in charge of him Liu Yanqing?
There is another question, do you want Jinling City, which they worked so hard to get?
If they don't have this bridgehead, they won't want to cross the river from the northern line in the future.
Liu Yanqing did not make a decision without authorization, but took the trouble to send someone to ask Tong Guan for instructions, and vaguely told Tong Guan about these problems.
After receiving Liu Yanqing's request, Tong Guan was also embarrassed, and after thinking for a long time, Tong Guan wrote a reply letter to Liu Yanqing.
This reply was not an official letter, but a note, written on a very fine piece of bamboo paper.
The original text reads: "Look up to the situation to measure the situation, if you can do that, measure that time, and do not make a mistake in the military."
Tong Guan meant to let Liu Yanqing decide what to do according to the actual situation, if the situation is really bad, you will withdraw, but you can't delay the military.
"That time" is the Song Dynasty's spoken language, which means to withdraw troops.
Tong Guan is still in Yangzhou, separated by the Yangtze River, and he doesn't know the situation on the battlefield ahead, so he asked Liu Yanqing to deal with it as appropriate, which should be said to be reasonable.
Of course, this is also Tong Guan's escape from this thorny problem. ….
Tong Guan kicked the ball back to Liu Yanqing, but it was difficult for Liu Yanqing to be broken!
- Shall I fight or withdraw? Hit, how to fight? Withdraw, how to withdraw?
Liu Yanqing gathered all the senior generals of the Song army on the northern front that crossed the river, talked about the current situation, and said that the Xuanfu Division let them decide whether to fight or withdraw, and what about the grain and grass, for the time being, let them figure out their own way, and then let everyone speak enthusiastically and discuss what they should do?
Many Song generals looked at each other.
They have always only been responsible for war, how can they make decisions?
The key is that if you don't give food and grass and retreat, you may be completely wiped out by other people's naval armies.
It's a difficult decision to make.
See no one
Speaking, Wang Jian proposed: "Otherwise, give up Jinling City, go south to Shezhou and join forces with the old breed of Jingluo, and the old seed will win a success, presumably there should be no shortage of grain and grass there."
After listening to Wang Lian's suggestion, Liu Yanqing's face sank instantly.
- This is what Liu Yanqing wants to avoid the most.
Tong Guan, including Zhao Ji behind Tong Guan, has long hinted to Liu Yanqing that as long as Liu Yanqing goes south this time to brush up on his military merits, wait for another year or two, and wait for the age of the Seed Master Dao to be a little older, let Liu Yanqing replace the Seed Master Dao to become the supreme commander of the Western Army.
But this time he went south, Liu Yanqing did not make an inch, and the Dao of the Planter was old and strong, and he made great achievements one after another.
If this continues, Liu Yanqing will not be said to be the class of the inoculation master, and his identity as the successor of the master's path will probably be lost, and even more, Liu Yanqing may lose his identity as the pacification envoy of the Yanyan Road, the head of the Ma Bujun capital, and the governor of Yan'an.
Therefore, Liu Yanqing was eager to make some great contributions, instead of taking the initiative to run to the body of the Planter Dao to be pressed by the Planter Dao and lose his opportunity to be in charge of the Western Army.
Liu Guangshi, who had just returned to Jinling City from Xiuzhou, also attended the meeting.
Liu Guangshi didn't want his father Liu Yanqing to be pressed by the Seed Master Dao all the time, which was also not conducive to Liu Guangshi's development, so Liu Guangshi said euphemistically: "The seed minister should encircle and suppress the remnants of the Fang Lana thief, and when he is in charge, his army will have entered Muzhou, if our army goes south to Muzhou, it must pass through the eastern defense area of the ant thief Su, and this thief will let our army go south smoothly?"
Liu Zhen said very domineeringly, "If you don't let you fight, you will."
Liu Guangshi smiled at Liu Zhen and said, "I went to Xiuzhou a few days ago to explore the terrain, and saw that the ant thieves were amassing millions of troops in Xiuzhou, and this department would definitely want to fight a decisive battle with our army.
Hearing Liu Guangshi say that Li Cunbu had millions of ant thieves, many Song generals were shocked.
But Ma Gongzhi pouted: "Fang Lana also has an army of millions, and he was also defeated by the old breed of Jing Xianggong."
As soon as Ma Gong said this, everyone thought about it, what level of ant thieves is, they are just a group of farmers who have just put down their hoes, and among our more than 100,000 horses, half of the elite of the Western Army, that is, those Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, and they are also the elite soldiers screened out by Gao Taiwei from hundreds of thousands of Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.
Liu Guangshi said with a smile: "I am not afraid of the enemy, my intention, instead of being forced to fight a decisive battle with the ant thieves from the southwest of Zhejiang, it is better to take the initiative to attack from the southeast of Zhejiang." ….
「?」
As soon as Liu Guangshi said this, all the Song generals couldn't help but look at Liu Guangshi, who proposed this bold battle plan, including his father Liu Yanqing.
Liu Guangshi did not have stage fright, he talked eloquently: "I have three reasons."
"One, now our army has no way to retreat, no way to defend, no way to throw, only to break the cauldron and sink the boat, and fight to the death with the ant thief."
A group of Song generals thought about it in their hearts:
Retreat, there is the Yangtze River natural danger separation, and there is a strong tiger army on the Yangtze River, if they forcibly cross the river, it is likely to be wiped out by the tiger army on the Yangtze River;
Guard, there is no grain and grass, because the Yangtze River is controlled by the Tiger Ben army, and the strategic value of Jinling City is also greatly reduced;
Vote, there is a tiger army in the middle, and there is not much difference between throwing and going to a decisive battle.
Therefore, Liu Guangshi's analysis of the current situation is quite reasonable.
Seeing that no one refuted, Liu Guangshi continued: "The two, there are many poor mountains and bad waters in western Zhejiang, while eastern Zhejiang is a flat river, and the ant thieves have many infantry troops, good at fighting in dangerous places, and our army has many cavalry, good at fighting on flat ground, and our army and guest troops fight, which is good for fighting in simple places, and taboo fighting in complex places, and the ant thieves are from western Zhejiang, and they know everything about western Zhejiang, so the decisive battle in eastern Zhejiang is stronger than the decisive battle in western Zhejiang."
Liu Guangshi rushed to Xiuzhou to rescue Xiuzhou City this time, but he didn't run in vain, he touched the terrain of eastern Zhejiang along the way, and Niu Meng is a native of western Zhejiang, and he knows western Zhejiang very well.
There are those who are familiar with the topography of the Liangzhejiang region, and listened to Liu Guangshi's words
Frequent nodding.
There is nothing to say about this, western Zhejiang is either a mountain or a river, it is easy to be used by the tiger army that fought out from western Zhejiang, and then win this decisive battle, and eastern Zhejiang is all plains, in the decisive battle in eastern Zhejiang, the Song army not only will not suffer the loss of terrain, but also give full play to the advantages of their horse army.
So there is still no one to refute Liu Guangshi.
Seeing this, Liu Guangshi said the third point bluntly: "Three, if our army wins this battle, we can capture the ant thief and make it an auxiliary army, and then continue to go south to capture Hangzhou.
It's even simpler.
The Song army on the western front wiped out the Fangla rebel army, and broke through Shezhou, the base camp of the Fangla rebel army, if they want to take credit not to the Song generals on the western front, there is only one possibility, that is, to exterminate the tiger army, capture Hangzhou, and capture Li Cun.
Even, if they can really do this, then their merit is even higher than that of the Song generals on the Western Front, after all, Hangzhou is the political, economic and cultural center of the two Zhejiang regions, and the capital of the two Zhejiang regions.
[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books at present, @
。
This makes Liu Yanqing unable to become a real good general at all, because that kind of general, before the opportunity to fight in the first war, will not fight, even if he does not fight for the rest of his life, he will not fight, and he will never force the war for the anxiety of wishful thinking and desire to make meritorious contributions, so those who are good at fighting often consider whether the actual conditions are ripe, rather than their own interests, and they rarely fight.
But Liu Yanqing couldn't do this.
Just like now, after Liu Guangshi's reminder, Liu Yanqing immediately understood that Liu Guangshi was saying, "Dad, if you don't act according to my plan, your position under the ass will not be guaranteed."
When it comes to his own power and status, the balance in Liu Yanqing's heart can't help but tilt in favor of the decisive battle with Li Cun.
But Liu Yanqing still couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't help but ask again, "How to solve the burden of grain and grass?" ….
Liu Guangguo couldn't let his younger brother focus on beauty, so he preemptively said, "I have a way."
Liu Guangguo's method is very simple, that is, to "borrow food" from civilians.
This is what the Hu people and the Fan people often do, and it is commonly known as "beating the grass valley".
The Western Army, which often deals with the Hu people and the Fan people, and even has a lot of soldiers itself, actually has a bit of this tradition.
But that was what they would do when they were at war with foreign tribes such as the Western Xia and Tubo.
It's a civil war, so ...... Wouldn't it be too good?
Soon, the duo of pit fathers, including those who wanted to make meritorious contributions to this decisive battle, persuaded Liu Yanqing and the other Song generals who were still hesitating.
In fact, it can't be said that Liu Yanqing was persuaded by these radicals, but they immediately ran out of food and really had nowhere else to get food, and now they have no other choice at all.
In a nutshell.
The Song army attacked in all directions and grabbed a lot of grain and grass in the hands of civilians in the nearby area.
During this period, there were also many officers and soldiers of the Song Army with poor military discipline, and they did a lot of things that people were angry about.
This blood debt after another was all recorded on the head of Zhao Song by the people in the two Zhejiang regions.
Undoubtedly, this further exacerbated the resentment of the people in the Liangzhejiang region against Zhao and Song.
At the same time, it also made the people in the Liangzhejiang region more supportive of the Tiger Ben Army, who had strict military discipline and could bring them a good life, and Li Cun, the leader of the Tiger Ben Army.
After several days of looting, the Song army finally scraped together enough grain and grass to carry their baggage.
Early August.
The Song army on the northern line that crossed the river went south, looking for an opportunity to fight the Tiger Ben army......
