Chapter 1004 Plotting against the Water Village
Yang Zhi arrived at the Dingbei Army camp on the front line at dawn, and the accompanying 3,000 horsemen rested in the village, Yang Zhi went directly into the battle, Wang Yan, Xu Wen, Yang Jin, Yang Zhongwu and others quickly came. There was a map hanging on the wall of the big tent, and Xu Wen first introduced the situation of the other party and the action plan of the Dingbei Army; Xu Wen was a native of Shandong, and Yang Jin wanted to go to Shandong to make a fortune when he was wandering around Hebei, and Xu Wen and Yang Jin had sent people to inquire about the movements of the Jin army these days, and drew up a battle plan.
On the Jin side, Wanyan Zongwang has been transferred to Shandong, and he has been put in charge of the Eastern Route Army with Wanyan Tart, which is a blessing to the Dingbei Army; although Wanyan Tart Lazy is Wu Qimai's cousin, and his status is far higher than that of Wanyan Zongwang, he is still inferior to Wanyan Zongwang in fighting, and the most important thing is that Wanyan Tart is lazy in his official position, Marshal Zuo, who is also the supervisor of the army, which shows that Liu Yu, the pacification envoy, still has considerable power.
Wanyan tart lazy distributed 10,000 Jin troops in Kaide Mansion, Puzhou, and Xuzhou, Liu Yu arranged for 40,000 troops to be stationed in Kaide Mansion, and the prefect was Li Cheng, the number one general under Liu Yu, and the deputy generals were Cao Rong and Li Tengjiao; Liu Yu also arranged for Li Yu to be stationed in Puzhou, Du Chong was in Dongping Mansion, and Li Fu was in Daimyo's Mansion, with a total of more than 100,000 troops. Behind the more than 100,000 surrendered troops, more than 50,000 Jin troops from the Daimyo Mansion and the Dongping Mansion could go to the front line for reinforcements at any time.
Xu Wen is not just a fierce general as he seems, and it is good to be flexible, Xu Wen thinks that the main force of the Jin army will retreat, and the seven counties of Kaide Mansion do not need to take Puyang first, they can advance one by one, and then wait for the opportunity to fight a decisive battle; after all, the number of troops transported by the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River is limited, as long as the Jin army's naval army is defeated, the Jin army south of the Yellow River is a lone army, and can only be slaughtered by the Dingbei army.
Yang Zhi agreed to Xu Wen's plan, from a historical point of view, Liu Yu is a person with a desire for power, and has gone south independently many times, trying to completely destroy the Southern Song Dynasty and become the emperor himself; now even if the territory is different, but it is difficult to change a person's thinking, and now from the layout of the enemy army, Liu Yu has this idea, which is exactly the opportunity for Wang Yan and Xu Wen.
Yang Zhi obtained the garrison plan of Liu Yu's various units in Bianliang, approved the action of the army, and arranged today's banquet to cover up the movement of the army; now it is only to confirm that the situation has not changed. Both Song and Jin were actually accustomed to Yang Zhi coming to the front line in person, and what Yang Zhi did was to paralyze the opponent, but Yang Zhi was not particularly at ease with Wang Yan and Yang Zhi, and Yang Zhi arranged another surprise army.
Yang Zhi looked around at everyone and said in a deep voice: "There is no need to be so complicated, the navy army is all from the Central Plains, if you can defeat the Jin army on the south bank, the Jin people would rather let the navy go ashore to fight, and they will not care about their life or death at all." When the time comes, Zhang Heng and them will do it again, and they will get twice the result with half the effort. I selected an army of 500 people to pretend to be the Jin army to disrupt the defense of Liu Yu's army, led by Zhang Nu and Yelu Baqing, and the 500 people are all the original northern ethnic groups, and there is not much difference between them and the Jurchen in the eyes of the Han people. ”
The pontoon bridge on the Yellow River is magnificent, every few zhang distance, there is a battle flag of the Jin country, which is extremely eye-catching when looking at the past from a distance; not far from the pontoon bridge is the water military camp of the Jin country, and the large and small ships docked are lined up one after another. On the wide river, sparse ferries and fishing boats haunt the wind and waves, and the upstream is already an area controlled by the Dingbei Army, and there are no merchant ships coming and going, and ships from the Dengzhou sea road and canal are all docked at the wharf on the east side of the pontoon.
From the scout's return, there was a busy scene on the wharf, with supplies from all over the country disembarking and placing them on the wharf and in the granaries by the Yellow River, and hundreds of civilians were then loaded onto the ships and transported by the returning ships to settle in Liaodong or Youzhou. At any time, there are always people who gain benefits from war, plunder wealth under the protection of power, and make a lot of war profits, and the behavior of the Jin State to plunder the population is even more chilling.
Zhang Nu and Yelu Baqing themselves had been officers of the Jin Army, and they were clear about the etiquette and bureaucracy of the Jin Dynasty, and the five hundred people behind them were all Youzhou people selected from Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi, all of them were burly, and they looked no different from the Jin Army when they stood there. Zhang Nu knew that there were Jurchen officers stationed in the water village, so he took the lead in riding down the slope and came to the gate of the water army village to call; a few questions and answers, Zhang Nu knew that there was only one Jianjun Wanyan She in the water village, and in the angry cheers, the soldiers guarding the gate of the village were busy going in to pay respects.
After a while, I saw Li Tengjiao, the commander of the navy, and a Jin army officer hurriedly walked out, Li Tengjiao turned out to be the governor of the Feiyu Village in Dengzhou of the Great Song Dynasty, when Dengzhou fell, he did not lead the army to sail south, but chose to defect to the Jin State, and was valued by Wanyan Zongwang and appointed as the commander of Puyang Water Village. When Li Tengjiao arrived in Puyang, it was when the Jin army retreated again, and he knew that he had a heavy responsibility, and since he had taken the step of surrender, even if he was hanging half-dead, he had to persevere.
In Puyang Water Village, the only people who can manage Li Tengjiao are Wan Yan Qi and Wan Yan Sheji, both of whom are rising stars of the Wanyan tribe, and they don't take Li Tengjiao's system as the same thing in their words; After a long time, Wanyan Su and Wanyan She only left one person in the water village every day, and the other went to Nancheng or other counties to play.
Today's stay in the water village is Wanyan Sheji, who was drinking with Li Tengjiao, and heard that a team of Jin Jun came out to see what they were here to do; Yelu Baqing was experienced, and when he saw Wanyan Sheji, he knew that it was a prickly head, so he stepped forward and shook Wanyan Sheji's hand and said, "Sheji, long time no see." ”
Yelu Baqing's movements made Wan Yan Sheji feel very bad, but the evil qi coming out of Yelu Baqing's palm made Wan Yan Sheji extremely uncomfortable, but his heart was blocked by pressure, and he couldn't speak; Wan Yan Sheji's face was flushed, but in the eyes of others, they thought it was the reason for drinking too much and being excited to see the old man.
"Li Tengjiao, drinking in broad daylight, it's really majestic!" Zhang Nu sneered at Li Tengjiao, Li Tengjiao raised his head, his eyes became sharp, but with a wave of Zhang Nu's hand, more than a dozen Jin soldiers rushed over and punched and kicked Li Tengjiao, these are Yelu Baqing's apprentices, and their martial arts are quite good. Li Tengjiao was knocked to the ground almost in the blink of an eye, trampled by others, and several of Li Tengjiao's henchmen just rushed out to save people, but they were killed by the bow and arrow of the Jin army, and the rest of the people did not dare to say anything.
The Jin army was brutal, and never took the Han people seriously, and I don't know how many of the same plays have been staged in Hebei and other places, and the people in the navy thought that the Jin army was fierce, and no one dared to rescue them.
