…

When the Jin court received the news that Yelu Angge led the Khitan army to defraud Jinzhou City, Wanyan Zongfu was killed in battle, and the Khitans slaughtered the Jurchens, Yelu Yujian's family had fled to the Northeast to recruit the division.

After Yan Yan learned the news, he didn't even think about it, so he ordered to punish the rest of the Yelu clan.

Then, under the proposition of Wanyan Zongpan, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Zongjun, Wanyan Kang ordered all Jin troops to kill the Khitans and Hanerge who might participate in this rebellion.

Although these two wrong decisions caused the Jin army's army to become unstable, the birthplace of the Jurchens was also occupied by the Liao, and the Liao people also slaughtered the Jurchens in the rear of the Jin State, cutting off the back road of the Jin State's high-level leaders.

But the high-level officials of the Jin State, who didn't care much about their bitter cold hometown, didn't put too much energy on counterinsurgency, but only asked the soldiers and horses of the Northeast Recruitment Division who had been transferred out by them not to continue to go south, and immediately turned their horses around and went back to quell the rebellion.

After handing over the matter of counterinsurgency in the rear to the Northeast Recruitment Division, the high-ranking officials of the Jin State immediately focused all their attention on the cadres who had opened up the Western Liaoning Corridor.

At this time, the Jin court was faced with an important choice.

That is, how to deal with the attack of the cadre army?

Although this issue has already been discussed by the top leaders of the Golden State once.

Last time, after discussion, all the high-level leaders of the Jin State agreed that it was necessary to fight the Daqian Dynasty and use force to make the Daqian Dynasty retreat.

For this reason, the Jin court not only transferred the Jin Wushu, who had obtained 300,000 horses from Wanyan Zonghan, back to King Qin's rescue, but also let Wanyanchang, who had 200,000 horses, shrink his troops, and at the same time, transferred the troops and horses of the Gaoli Army, the soldiers and horses of the Northeast Road Recruitment Division, the Hedi Xin Department of the Jin State, the Shanzhikun Department of the Jin State, the Guangji Ra Department of the Jin State, and the Tatar Department who had a great enmity with the Daqian Dynasty and were currently temporarily subordinated to the Jin State, came to King Qin's rescue.

Actually-

At that time, the idea of the Jin court was to let these centrist forces reinforce Jinzhou.

Who would have thought that the 30,000 Khitan troops of Yelu Yujian's army, who were stationed in Guangning Mansion at that time, did not wait for the arrival of other Jinzhou reinforcements, and sacrificed Jinzhou City under the leadership of Yelu Angge.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the Jin army that arrived at Jinzhou City immediately retreated to Jinguo Tokyo, and those who had just arrived, such as the Goryeo Army and the Tatar Division, which were extremely active in reinforcements, also stopped at Jinguo Tokyo.

In addition, the Wanyan Changbu (actually the Wanyan Zongjun Division, which is currently managed by Wanyan Chang), which was originally stationed in the Tokyo area of Jinguo.

All of a sudden, the Jin Kingdom hoarded 300,000 or 400,000 troops in the vicinity of Tokyo, and Wan Yanchang also came to the Jin Kingdom from Nanjing, the Jin Kingdom, to personally sit in charge of the 300,000 or 400,000 troops.

Correspondingly, Yue Fei left some of his men to occupy the Western Liaoning Corridor, and after resting in Jinzhou City, he commanded the 200,000 troops of the First Military Region, the Fourth Military Region, and the Tenth Military Region towards Jinguo Tokyo.

At the same time, Han Shizhong, who had been holding his troops, also led the 100,000 troops of the Second Military Region and the Fifth Military Region to arrive outside the city of Nanjing in the Jin State and confronted the 100,000 troops under Wan Yanchang.

Among them, 70,000 Jin troops were stationed in the city of Nanjing, and 30,000 Jin troops were stationed in Daguangdingzi Mountain, west of the city of Nanjing.

Nanjing, the Jinguo is located in the southern section of the Great Xing'an Mountains and the northern foothills of Yanshan, the vast area of the Xilamulun River and the Laoha River Basin in the north and south, and is the interception compound part of the Inner Mongolia Plateau, the northern Hebei hills and the Liaoning Plain, with a unique geographical location and geological structure, surrounded by mountains on three sides, high in the west and low in the east, mountainous and hilly, extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

This made Han Shizhong a little afraid to act rashly for a while.

As for the 50,000 men and horses of the Third Military Region led by Su Dong, they had already fought many times with the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Jin State.

It's just that the commander of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division of the Jin State is the son of Wanyan Lou Mur, the son of the first general of the Jin State, Wanyan Huonu, and the foundation of the Northwest Road Recruitment Division is also the old foundation left by Wanyan Lou Room who has fought many tough battles but rarely loses, and the famous and talented Wanyan Huonu herself has studied firearms more thoroughly, so that the two sides have fought several times, and Wanyan Huonu has used flexible guerrilla tactics and has not suffered a big loss.

Today, a situation of all-out confrontation between the cadres and the Jin army has emerged, and a decisive battle is about to break out.

Under such a situation, Wanyan Zongpan, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, suddenly changed his course and advocated negotiating peace with the Daqian Dynasty in exchange for peace.

At the meeting where Wanyan convened a group of ministers of the Jin State to discuss the situation and countermeasures, Wanyan Zongpan said: "Emperor Daqian is benevolent and has been letting go of Manan Mountain for many years, and Benzhi is not attacking my Dajin, only because of the repeated violations of the border of Daqian, and the mother of Yan, and the grievances have been accumulated for a long time, so that today's disaster has been incurred. ”

As soon as Wanyan Zongpan's words came out, he was immediately opposed by Wanyan Zonggan.

Wanyan Zong said coldly: "What did the prime minister say, Hu Lu Bu, Zhen Liduo, and Yan Mu have all made countless contributions to my Dajin Southern Expedition and Northern War, and my Dajin can have today, and all of them are indispensable, Emperor Daqian killed his and other clan men, and also imposed capital punishment to rob the women of his clan, the hatred is as deep as the sea, the prime minister does not want to avenge him, showing the prestige of my Dajin country, and he also wants to send Sticky Han into the tiger's mouth? !" ”

Without waiting for Yan Zongpan to answer, Yan Zonggan continued to be indignant and said: "Although Sticky Han is at fault, but he has also fought for my Dajin in the south and north for many years, and there is no merit and hard work, how can the prime minister bear to send the Sticky Han family to death......"

Politicians are mostly selfish and unscrupulous.

Wanyan Zonggan is no exception.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonggan objected to Wanyan Zongpan's gift of Wanyan Zonghan's family to Li Cunyihe at this time, and commended Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongfu, and Wanyan Yanmu's merits, not because they had made great contributions to the Jin State, but because Wanyan Zonghan had also attacked the frontier of the Daqian Dynasty with Wanyan Zonghan.

Let's put it this way, Wanyan Zonggan knows very well that Wanyan Zongpan advocates peace on the surface, but in fact, he is pointing a sword at Wanyan Zonggan, and the ultimate goal is to suppress their father and son.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonggan, who has seen through all this, of course, can't let Wanyan Zongpan succeed.

Wanyan Zongjun said lightly: "The prime minister is like this, it is also a helpless move, the front line comes to report, the dry army firearms are extremely sharp, and the soldiers can fight well, it must not be our army can be defeated, for the Zongmiao Society, the top priority is to first ask for the whole order of the cadres to retreat, and then make a plan when the court calms down the chaos, otherwise my Dajin will face the front and rear attacks of the Great Qian, Khitan, how can there be a chance of victory?" ”

Wanyan Zongxian argued: "My Dajin and Daqian are not a day's grudge, if you send the generals to make friends, it will make my Dajin warriors feel cold, on the occasion of the rise and fall of Dajin, can An be like this?" ”

Wan Yan Chang's own brother Wan Yan Miao also said: "If it is beneficial to my big gold, how dare you be selfish? ”

Soon, it was the main battle faction that prevailed.

Then, a minister said: "Now that the hearts of the Khitan and Han people in China have fluctuated, if the cadres come to fight, war is inevitable. At this time, the cadres are arrogant and arrogant, and the front cannot be controlled, if our army comes out, the enemy will be defeated, and this soldier is jealous. I hope that His Majesty will retreat to Taizhou, personally lead the army to pacify the rebels, and then select the general to send out the division, divide the troops into four routes, and surround and annihilate the cadres and troops, so that their horses and horses cannot return. ”

Another minister said: "Shangjing is the foundation of the world, if it is shaken, how can it support the world?" At present, there are still hundreds of thousands of Xiongshi in Shangjing, and they can fortify the wall and impose martial law, collect the people and clear the wilderness, so that the enemy cannot attack the front, retreat and have nothing to plunder, and the division is old and depressed. As soon as the army of King Qin arrives, the inside and outside will become horns, and at that time, the siege of the cadres will be like driving a flock of dogs and sheep, and the great cadres will definitely ask for their lives. ”

Wanyan Zonggan suggested: "In the past, the Khitan had millions of teachers and went straight to Zhao and Song Yuanyuan. Relying on the wisdom of the ancestors of the Zhao and Song dynasties and the blessing of the society, Kou Zhun, a famous minister of the Zhao and Song dynasties, insisted on asking Song Zhenzong to drive the expedition in person. After Luan Yu crossed the river, the morale of the Song army was greatly boosted, and the Liao general Tart was shot and killed, and the morale of the Liao army was greatly lost, so he sent an envoy to ask for peace, and Hebei was able to recover. Today's matter is the same, please follow the example of Song Zhenzong's personal expedition, this matter is fast, and it cannot be delayed. ”

Wanyan knows very well that Wanyan Zonggan is not a good bird, and he also wants to control the government through him.

But at present, the only thing Wanyan can trust is Wanyan Zong, who has the name of father and son with him.

Moreover, Wanyan understood that Wanyan Zonggan asked him to take the opportunity to establish his prestige in order to regain imperial power from Wanyan Zongpan in the future.

Therefore, Wan Yan still decided to accept Wan Yan Zonggan's suggestion and drive the expedition in person.

Wanyan immediately asked people to draft a pro-conquest edict, ordering Yousi to gather troops and horses to stand by, and at the same time, appointing Wanyan Zongxian as the deputy envoy of the pro-conquest camp and allowing him to engage in it cheaply; Appointed Wan Yan Yinshu Ke and Wan Yan Miao as staff officers.

But on the same day, the commander of the Eastern Theater, that is, the Kim Tokyo area, Wan Yanchang, made a decision that determined the national fortunes of the two countries.

Up to now, the Jin troops sent by the Jin Imperial Court to reinforce Jinzhou City have been in place.

Seeing that he had an army of 300,000 or 400,000 in his hands, in terms of strength alone, it was almost twice that of the cadre army.

Moreover, he has most cavalry on his hands.

- In field battles, one cavalry can be equal to at least three infantrymen.

The key is that the Qianjun army was not in the fortified city hated by the nomads at all at this time, but put on a posture to fight with the Jin army.

No matter how Yan Chang looked at it, he felt that he had full certainty of winning the decisive battle with Yue Feibu.

In fact, not only Wan Yanchang thinks so, but also the commanders of the various departments under Wan Yanchang, especially the Goryeo Army and the Tatar Army, who have come to persuade Yan Chang to fight a decisive battle with Yue Fei's cadres all day long.

After Yan Chang deduced with his staff, he thought that his department had no possibility of losing.

As a result, Wan Yanchang, who commanded so many horses for the first time, not only drifted a little, but also wanted to defeat Yue Fei in one fell swoop, become a hero of the Jin Kingdom, and even become the emperor of the Jin Kingdom in the future.

Therefore, Wan Yan Chang ordered the whole army to attack, and its horse soldiers were divided into four routes, 100,000 Goryeo troops on the left middle road, 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, Shanzhi Kun Division, Guangji Ra Department and other troops on the right middle road, 40,000 Tatar troops and 20,000 Jin troops on the north road on the left side, and Wan Yanchang personally commanded the 80,000 Jin Army on the south road on the right side, and smashed the main force of Yue Fei from four different directions.

——Wan Yanchang is preparing to attack in a joint attack, attack from four directions, and encircle and annihilate Yue Fei's cadres in one fell swoop.

After finding out the news of the Jin Army's four-way march through the secret agents of Wu Desi, the pro-army Duwei Mansion, and the Military Intelligence Department, Yue Fei just said coldly: "I will only go all the way by relying on a few roads." ”

Yue Fei immediately gathered all the cavalry of the cadre army together and handed it over to Zhang Xian for command.

Zhang Xian led about 70,000 cavalry and attacked the left center of the Jin army.

At the same time, the 100,000 Goryeo troops in the middle of the left side of the Jin army, in order to take the lead, marched much faster than the other three Jin armies.

When the two sides traveled to the Liao River, they met unexpectedly.

The Goryeo army advanced too quickly and was isolated and prominent, and its front army had reached the banks of the Liao River.

Goryeo General Tuo Junjing did not expect that the cadre army with a large number of infantry would march so fast, and then divided his troops into two, preparing to garrison the vicinity of the Liao River with the main force, and led 30,000 horses to cross the Liao River first.

Zhang Xian saw through the clairvoyant mirror that the Goryeo army was lone and deep, and the troops were scattered, and the troops were divided into two ways to meet the attack, led by Niu Gao 20,000 cavalry to attack half-crossing, and he personally led 50,000 cavalry to make a detour to attack the main force of the Goryeo army.

Soon, the two armies began to fight according to Zhang Xian's vision.

It was just past noon, and the sky was overcast and difficult to discern, and the Goryeo army lit torches for artillery bombardment.

The cadres took advantage of the torch lit by the Goryeo Army to shoot from the darkness and gather arrows, killing and injuring many people.

Then, Zhang Xianchi took advantage of the heavy fog to cross the trenches of the Goryeo army, uprooted the fence of the Goryeo army, and attacked the camp of the Goryeo army.

After the two sides fought for almost an hour, the main force of the Goryeo army was routed and suffered heavy casualties.

At the same time, Niu Gao also defeated the 30,000 Goryeo army led by the Goryeo general Tuo Junjing himself with a half-crossing attack.

In this battle, the Goryeo army suffered more than 80,000 casualties, the Liao River was stained red with blood, many of the Goryeo generals were killed in the battle, and Tuo Junjing only led less than 20,000 troops to flee back to Kim Tokyo.

The left center of the Jin army was completely annihilated.

The 40,000 Tatar troops and the 20,000 Jin troops on the north road on the left side advanced to the northeast of the Liao River, and when they learned that the Goryeo army was defeated and did not dare to advance, the commander of their troops, Wan Yan Sali, divided the army into three places for local defense.

In order to preserve the strength of the Jin army on the north road on the left, Wan Yan Sali drank the camp with a camel array, and also listed the firearms troops sent to him by Wan Yan Chang behind the camel array.

At this time, the infantry army led by Yue Fei also came to the edge of the Liao River steadily.

Seeing that Yan Sali had given up the advantage of cavalry and was preparing to fight a positional battle with the cadre army, Yue Fei personally deployed one hundred and sixty red-coated cannons to prepare to bombard the camel formation arranged by Yan Sali.

As soon as the battle began, the 160 red-coated cannons of the Qianjun army opened fire intensively at the camel formation of the Jin army on the northern road on the left.

Under the fierce artillery fire of the cadres and troops, the camels, war horses, and warriors of the Jin Army on the north road on the left side flew with flesh and blood, and the corpses piled up like mountains.

After the red-coated cannons of the cadre army completely blasted away the camel formation arranged by Wan Yan Sali, Zhang Xian and Niu Gao each led 20,000 cavalry to ride into the position of the Jin army on the northern road on the left.

After Yan Sali cried, he cried, but he really didn't coax to fight.

Although the position was disrupted by the red-clothed artillery of the cadre army, Wan Yan Sa Liyu still personally led the remnants of the Jin army on the north road on the left to engage in a fierce battle with the cadre army.

But after all, the Jin army on the north road on the left was still blown up by the cadres first, and even lost its courage by the bombing.

As a result, the two armies fought for a while, and the Jin army on the north road on the left was defeated and retreated, leaving most of the men and horses, and fled the battlefield like a lost dog under the leadership of Wan Yan Sali.

The allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xinbu, Shanzhikun Bu, Guangjira and other troops on the middle road on the right side of the Jin army failed to advance to the Liao River on time due to the confusion of their subordinates and the rugged mountain roads on this road.

Because they did not know that the left middle road and the left north road had been defeated, the allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, Shanzhikun Division, Guangji Ra Division, and other divisions of the Jin Army's right middle road still marched north according to the original plan.

Defeating the Jin army on the northern road on the left, the cadre army immediately moved its troops to meet the coalition forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xinbu, Shanzhikun Bu, Guangjira and other troops on the right middle road.

In order to completely annihilate the allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xinbu, Shanzhi Kunbu, Guangjira and other departments in the middle of the right road, Yue Fei adopted the method of luring them to advance quickly and setting up ambushes to gather and annihilate, and arranged an ambush in the south of the Liaohe River with the main force in advance, and the Khitan army pretended to be the Jin army, and sent the surrendered Goryeo people to hold Tuo Junjing's order arrows, falsely claiming that the Goryeo army had already fought against the cadre army, and asked the 80,000 Hedi Xinbu, Shanzhikun and Guangji troops in the middle of the right road to advance quickly.

The allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, the Shanzhikun Division, and the Guangji Tribes in the middle of the right road believed it to be true, and immediately ordered to advance lightly.

On the right side of the middle road, the 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, the Shanzhi Kun Division, the Guangji Tribe, and other troops joined forces and marched all the way forward.

When the vanguard of the allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xinbu, Shanzhikun Ministry, Guangjira and other departments in the middle of the right road entered Mingdagang, they were ambushed by the cadres.

The Hedi Xin Division, which was at the forefront, was completely annihilated by the tactics of red-coated artillery and cavalry in the first battle.

Yue Fei then sent Zhang Xian and Niu Gao to defeat his follow-up troops.

Of the 80,000 Jin troops in Wan Yanchang's hands, most of them were cavalry, which could have been used to deal with the other three Jin armies.

However, due to the slow transmission of the news of the Jin Army, and the steady and accurate attack of the Qianjun, Wan Yanchang did not make any response to the other three Jin Army.

It wasn't until the defeated Tuo Junjing and Wan Yan Salia sent a fast horse to tell him that Wan Yan Chang learned that his four-way army had been defeated in two ways.

Wan Yanchang hurriedly ordered the allied forces of the 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, Shanzhikun Division, Guangji Ra Division, and the Jin Army on the right south road to return to the division.

But by the time the herald sent by Wan Yan Chang caught up with the army on the right side of the middle road, the coalition army of the 80,000 Hedi Xin Division, the Shanqi Division, and the Guangji Tribe was no longer even a third left.

It was the front army of the Jin Army on the south road on the right, and when they received the retreat order issued by Yan Chang, they were also discovered by the vanguard battalion of the First Army of the cadre army.

When they met on a narrow road, Yue Yun was not afraid, but ordered someone to sound a snail on the mountain to send out an impact signal and shout loudly.

The front army of the Jin Army on the south road on the right thought that the main force of the cadre army was attacking it, and fled in terror, trampling on each other, killing and wounding more than 1,000 people.

The vanguard battalion of the 1st Army won without a fight.

It is worth mentioning that Yelu Mawu, the general of Liao's surrender to Jin, took advantage of the chaos to lead more than 5,000 Khitan troops to defect to the Qianjun.

Zhao Ding and Gao Qing, who accompanied the army, together with Zhang Jun and Yelu Angge, feasted Yelu Ma Wu together.

During the banquet, Zhao Ding's representative Li Cun explained in detail to Yelu Ma Wu the surrender policy of the Daqian Dynasty.

Yelu Ma Wu said: He and the Khitan army he led did not come for glory and wealth, but for revenge, and they only wanted to let them kill the Jurchens after they conquered Jindong.

Zhao Ding immediately said: "Our cadres are not allowed to kill prisoners. ”

Then, Zhang Jun added with a smile: "But I can arrange for the Khitan army to take care of the Jurchen prisoners of war." ”

Three days later, the Khitan Army of the Fifth Division of Yeluma, which had been stationed in Jindong for a long time, was the guide, and Yue Fei's Division, which had already completed its rest, continued to advance towards Jindongkyo.

Although Wan Yanchang, who had reined in the rout at this time, actually had 1450,000 troops, millions of people, and the fortified city of Tokyo in the Jin Kingdom.

But Wan Yanchang, who was already a frightened bird, heard that Yue Fei's troops were attacking him directly, and decisively abandoned the city of Tokyo in the Jin Kingdom, and led the remaining hundreds of thousands of troops in his troops and the people of the Jin Kingdom of Tokyo who were willing to go with him to flee to Nanjing in the Jin Kingdom......

So far, the strategic goals of the first stage of the Daqian Dynasty have all been achieved.
