Chapter 492: It's Time to Close the Net
The first thing that can't hold on is the city of Shezhou in the south of the Yangtze River!
Wang Yu led tens of thousands of forbidden troops to retreat to defend the city, but the Liangshan army only besieged but did not attack. The intention is to wait for the city to run out of ammunition and food before coming to persuade him to surrender.
And that's exactly what happened, and it worked very well!
Fang La's army almost ran out of food, and when they fled, they could not find any surplus food in the city. It could have provided more than half a month's worth of food for an army of 200,000 men, enough to support it for a few months. But the 70,000 or 80,000 people in the city had no food, and the only way to avoid the riot was to help, and in this way, the food in the city was consumed rapidly. It was supposed to be June when we ran out of food and were in trouble.
However, the Western Xia Kingdom was in turmoil, and Liangshan repeatedly sent grain to the city for the sake of righteousness. So that the soldiers and civilians in the city have no worries about food and clothing, they can eat enough without work, and there is no place to go in the hot summer, and they have gained weight in September.
As the saying goes, eat people with a soft mouth, and take people with short hands!
Wang Yu and all the officers under his command felt like this, eating each other's mountains of grain for nothing. When it's okay, it's still bragging and farting outside the city walls. If you really want to fight, you can't be ruthless, and the people won't agree.
Liangshan explained the situation south of the Yangtze River, Fujian Road, Guangnan East Road, West Road, Liangzhejiang Road, Lianghuai Road, etc., all fell into the hands of the Chinese Dynasty. The Song Dynasty has lost half of its country and could perish at any time.
"It's hard!" Wang Yu looked at the army training outside, and then looked in the direction of Bianliang City. So far, no reinforcements have arrived, and I also believe that the state capitals on both sides of the Yangtze River are occupied and the roads are blocked, and I can't help but sigh.
Shezhou really became an isolated city, and the Song Dynasty was powerless to come to the rescue. Look at the combat effectiveness of this army, and no one will come after another ten or eight years. I thought again
Want the south of the Yangtze River to fall, what will the weak Song Dynasty do to restore the country?
At the end of September, Tian Hu was killed, and the court of Bianliang City celebrated. The Liangshan army once again sent grain to Shezhou City, and Wang Yu ordered the city gate to be opened, and let people hold white flags and personally lead the generals and officials out of the city to surrender.
That's right, Wang Yu did not insist and accepted Liangshan's persuasion to surrender.
Obviously, the Huaxia Dynasty was founded by the Han people, which is different from the nature of the foreign Tibetan state. That's why this stubborn general Wang will lead the team to join him.
Since then, the entire Jiangnan Prefecture has fallen into the hands of Liangshan. The officials abolished the system of the Song Dynasty and implemented the Liangshan New Deal. Subsidizing those families whose families have died because of Huashigang, and helping and consoling the ...... of the extremely poor, all kinds of measures have been widely welcomed by the grassroots people.
The news was blocked, and Tokyo Bianliang City didn't know what was happening in Jiangnan. Since Song Huizong, Zhao Ji and the Manchu Dynasty civil and military are all happy for the demise of Tian Hu. Pay close attention to the movement over there, the day Wasion City was captured. Led by a yin and yang eunuch, the angels of Tokyo City have arrived!
Brought the holy decree of Song Huizong!
First of all, it is to reward the brave generals and warriors, and the rewards are not mentioned. Then it was ordered immediately, immediately, and now to order the army to rush south with the might of a great victory, destroy Shuibo Liangshan and rush to the south of the Yangtze River.
A protracted and vicious war has just ended and has not rested for a few days, and there is another war?
Wu Jue, Liu Qi, Han Cunbao and other generals all understood that this was a taboo for soldiers. However, the imperial court was in a hurry, and had to receive the holy decree and lead the army south.
Liu Qi led an army of 80,000 as a team, several Jiedu envoys led an army of 80,000 as the second team, and Wu Jue sat in Weisheng City for some time, sweeping the surrounding area.
Shocked the young people, and then led an army of 50,000 to press on it.
If you don't move, it's just that, solve some troubles, and everything will be over. Moreover, it was divided into three ways, which exacerbated the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty.
The court of Bianliang City has long regarded Shuibo Liangshan as a thorn in the eye. wanted to encircle and suppress Liangshan but had no troops, and the opportunity came after the three anti-emperors were eliminated one by one. An army of 200,000 rushed towards Jeju on Jingdong Road.
Take advantage of the gap between the main force of the Liangshan army in the north and exterminate it!
It's a pity that they don't use their brains to think about it, how could Liang Shan not think about it? In the same way, when the three major anti-kings were exterminated, the final net was closed.
The Leopard Army, the Eagle Yang Army, the Changsheng Army (formed by Guan Sheng), the Broken Army (Hu Yanzhuo was the general), plus three volunteer armies, a total of 350,000 elites crossed the sea and fought in the Song Dynasty, intercepting the opponent at the boundary of Shaanzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Guan Shengshuai's army quickly occupied the Kunshan Mountain, known as "Kunsai" in ancient times, it was an important place of military strategy in ancient times, and it was known for its steep terrain, strong passes, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and was one of the "nine stops" in the world. And set up an ambush here, Liu Qi led a rapid march, fell into an ambush, and was surrounded by an army of 200,000 on all sides.
The whole army was annihilated, few escaped, and Liu Qi was also captured alive by Guan Sheng. As for the Second Route Army, which was separated by more than 200 miles, Wujiedu made Wang Wende, Han Cunbao, Yang Wen, Li Congji, and Xiang Yuanzhen jointly lead the army.
Three stinkers, one Zhuge Liang, not to mention five old festival envoys. This time, there was no plan, but it was surrounded by 300,000 troops. Under the difference of strength by several times, it is passive, how is it the opponent of the Liangshan Army?
The battlefield stretched for more than ten miles, and in the chaos, it was difficult to avoid the escapees of the imperial army
。 Fortunately, the vast majority of the soldiers were trapped and finally surrendered. The five old Jiedu wanted to break through the siege, but were stopped by Guan Sheng, Hu Yanzhuo and others. After fighting before the battle, the last one failed to escape.
Solve the two imperial armies, and the army will continue to move north.
And this news was also brought back to Bianliang City with the fleeing soldiers, and the uproar in the city was even more like a storm in the court. Song Huizong's and other civil and military ministers turned pale, and they had a premonition that a great disaster was coming.
There were more than 200,000 troops in the north of Shuibo Liangshan, and now more than 300,000 troops have emerged. Jeju Yangsan must also have quite a few troops, 700,000?
Or 800,000? And even more!
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" Song Huizong also didn't care about alchemy and becoming immortals. Summoned the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs for an emergency court meeting, and roared loudly.
"A small cottage, where did they come from such an army? How can I afford to provide for it? ”
This is not only the confusion of Song Huizong, but also the confusion of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty. It takes at least ten farmers to support a soldier, and tens of thousands of them are easy to say. The food and drink of an army of 7 or 800,000 is not something that money and food can solve.
There were still people who understood in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, and someone in the back position said weakly: "Your Majesty, more than two years ago, the Goryeo Kingdom came to say that my Song Dynasty invaded their land for no reason? Isn't it that the strongman of Yangsan has already laid down Goryeo? ”
"And the overseas Japanese country, who thinks very highly of themselves and is the most arrogant, how can they come to join them with a dead face? Still from Taixue to go away many students? ”
"Yes, yes, I remember what you said. Our officials in the Song Dynasty have also disappeared or been kidnapped, could it not be that Liang Shan did it? ”
……
someone
took the lead in opening the chatterbox, and many people followed suit, and more and more people suddenly realized that they were patting their heads and talking about it.
And Song Huizong Zhao Ji on the dragon bed had a blue face and was extremely gloomy.
Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Yang Jianzhi and the others drooped their heads, and fine sweat broke out on their foreheads. These traitorous and corrupt officials were very keen, and they had a premonition that the Great Song Dynasty was about to collapse, and they were uneasy and thought about countermeasures.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what can I do?" Song Huizong scolded, making the court quiet.
"Your Majesty, the owner of Liangshan seems to have seen some white-clothed Xiushi Wang Lun and made him a big official. Wait for the court to recover and then go back to clean him up. ”
"Yes, that's the best way to do it."
……
Except for a few civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty, they were all wine bags and rice bags, corrupt officials and corrupt officials. This group of people can get together and express their opinions, but there is no good way.
Bianliang City's side was anxious to deal with it, and they were arguing. There was bad news from the north, and the city of Shezhou had fallen overnight.
