Xin Qiji's eyes halo scanned the Jurchen generals in front of him, who had already turned over and dismounted, and approached him. His face was slightly stunned, and he said: "When the two armies are at war, they are always dangerous and dangerous. Your army will show up under this armor. The appearance is still fair, but now that the peace talks are done, if your army still looks like an enemy, it would be a bit nondescript."
The generals frowned slightly, and were silent.
Of course, they also understand in their hearts that this battle has been fought to this point, and their own side can be said to have been completely defeated. Now the main force of the whole army is already in such a situation, and the time and place are all on the side of the Song army. , And the temporary logistical supply troops that remained outside the valley and in Shuzhou City, and even the part of the military force that remained under Shunchang City, which played a role as a lead force, has become an ambush since the main force of the whole army fell into an ambush in the valley. There is no news at all, I am afraid that it is too bad to come.
My own army has been trapped in this valley for quite some time. The Jurchen Cavalry has always been paying attention to coming and going like the wind, replenishing wherever it is. During the war, they only carry a small amount of dry food. Even in the army where the cavalry is the main service, there is often no special logistics supply team. This time it is even more important. After the city of Shuzhou was broken, chasing the remnant army, things started in a hurry, and naturally they didn't have much burden.
After all, the Jurchens are born hunters. If there are towns and cities, they will have their own food supply, and if they are among the mountains and forests, they can obtain materials from the local area. There is very little worry in this regard.
However, this time trapped in this valley, the Song army came and went without a trace, and there were no ghosts and ghosts. However, the offensive and harassment, but it was dayless, made them scream, even if the birds and beasts in this mountain forest are so rich, they But they can only call negative and sigh.
After all, the terrain here is ups and downs. For these Jurchens who have more than half of their combat power on horses, it is the most difficult place for them to exert their strength. It is difficult to occupy such an empty place in the valley to camp. Holding the corners of the formation, no one would have the courage to leave this temporary position even if there were no strict orders from Jin Wushu.
These days, hundreds of thousands of cavalrymen have been biting their horses. Not only are the ordinary sergeants frugal, they have not had a meal, and even the grass roots and bark in this valley are almost exhausted. Everyone understands in their hearts. The army on this side has really reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted. If it weren't for the clear springs in the southern valleys, I'm afraid that if the Song army didn't wait for the Song army to take action, all of the more than 200,000 female elites would be buried here.
Therefore, even though this is a peace talk with Song State, these generals also understand in their hearts that this so-called peace talk is actually no different from surrendering. If it weren’t for the 200,000 cavalry at present, it would be a neat lineup, let Song Jun I feel that I have to pay a considerable price to win all of my own side, I am afraid that the qualifications for connection and surrender are lost.
Therefore, Jin Wushu proposed such a risky plan last night, and it is indeed because the current situation has reached the point where it has to let it go. There are so many people and horses in such a narrow place, and there is a lack of food and grass supplies. The morale of the army is gradually deteriorating, and even some wounded soldiers have become ill. If this situation continues, it will not be far away if the epidemic is spreading.
After all, the Jurchen clan has long lived between the white mountains and black waters. They have never been able to get used to the humid and rainy climate in the south of the Yangtze River. In the current situation, I am afraid that every day they stay, the injured and sick will feel bad. The geometric way began to grow.
Therefore, the negotiation and peace talks with the Song Dynasty are actually just a better way of saying. I am in such a weak position. The conditions put forward by the Song Dynasty’s envoys are really not an exaggeration. Copies.
After all, even according to the custom of the foreign nations, the defeated generals accepting the slightly humiliating conditions of the victorious side is just a customary example, and his own army is the defeated and surrendered side. However, he still presented such a military honor, and it was not quite in line with the rules.
They are also veterans on the battlefield, leading the Jurchen army under the tent to fight in all directions. When they have the advantage, if any defeated army seeks peace in the same posture as they are now, I am afraid that they are too. Determined not to agree.
It's just that today they did not act to show off their strength, but Jin Wushu originally had other arrangements, so at this time, they heard Song Shi's request, and they didn't know the reason for a while.
Wan Yan Yong looked at Xin Qiji and asked, "According to your envoy, how should our army behave?!"
Xin Qiji said lightly: "Now that the two coaches have already signed the peace talks, your army should naturally show a bit of sincerity in the peace talks. This is to discuss with the deputy commander and the generals the time and order of the payment of ordnance war horses for your army. Except for the first batch of troops that need to pay the ordnance war horses, the other brothers can return to the camp to rest."
"The first batch of ordnance war horses?" Wan Yanyong glanced at the other generals who were whispering to each other, then turned to look at Xin Qiji and asked, "Now?"
Xin Qiji smiled and nodded: "Now!"
He slowly raised his right hand, and did not see any gestures, and suddenly raised a banner with Song characters not far away in a mountain forest not far away.
Wan Yanyong looked at each other with those generals, and they couldn't help but look at each other in amazement.
They are also all battle-tested generals. They are naturally familiar with the various methods of communication and communication when marching. Generally speaking, regardless of the size of the army, if only the commanding generals give orders to their faces, they are all familiar with them. It is difficult to use the palm of an arm, so under normal circumstances, they use golden gongs and war drums, supplemented by different colors of flags and commands.
Since the Song Dynasty, the pyrotechnic craftsmanship has become more mature, and many skilled craftsmen have passed down to the Khitan Liao during the business with the Liao for a century. After the Jurchen clan was established in the Liao, they have inherited those skills of the Khitan Liao. Craftsmen, therefore, also began to use various pyrotechnic signals to communicate in the military's remote communications.
However, no matter what kind of information transmission method is, it is always inseparable from visual and auditory transmission, but the gesture of Xin Qiji just now made them not clear at all. In what way they know the way in the mountains and forests. On the team.
Although the mountain forest is not too far from here, it is definitely not close. What's more, hundreds of thousands of people gather between the valleys. Although Xin Qiji stands at the forefront of the team, it is still only a drop in the ocean. At that distance Under the hood, no matter how high the cultivation base and the good eyesight is, it is absolutely impossible to recognize Xin Qiji through such a gesture of raising his hand.
You know, when marching and fighting, the transmission of information is extremely important, especially in the process of long-distance expeditions, intelligence information is almost enough to affect the success or failure of the entire battle.
Therefore, although the Jurchen cavalry came and went like the wind, in the battle, they must first send scouts to spy on the military situation. This is the truth.
However, Xin Qiji’s actions at the moment are nothing more than to explain that in the Song Army, there is a communication method that even if they look face to face, they can hardly find traces of communication. Based on this alone, when they are marching and fighting, they are afraid It was already enough to make his army suffer a big loss.
Wan Yanyong and the generals understood a little bit, why the Song army that had surrounded him in the previous few days could achieve such a fascinating attack and harassment by cooperating with each other seamlessly.
After all, if Song Jun has mastered such a communication method that is completely beyond his own perception, then they can naturally come and leave under their noses.
Suddenly, they couldn't help but believe that Jin Wushu would suddenly change their plans and negotiate peace talks with the emperor of the Southern Kingdom.
If Song people can communicate information and deliver orders through such a channel that they don’t know how to come from, they may not really need to deploy their military forces where they can be seen. They only need to be scattered and concealed, and they will be able to do so at that time. Command in a unified manner, split and attack together, like arms and palms.
And in this way, even if Jin Wushu saves the mind of personally risking and tempting the enemy, he is afraid that he will not be able to discover the true main force of the Song army. Under such a situation, he has no choice but to reunite with the emperor of the Song kingdom. The military commander signed a peace agreement, but it was a matter of course.
After all, Jin Wushu’s vision and insight are far above everyone else on his side. If he sees the way Song Kingdom’s armies transmit messages to each other, he can naturally see the threat contained therein. And meaning.
Wan Yan Yongqiang suppressed his heart-wounding emotions, and said to Xin Qiji: "Your country and our army have just negotiated peace talks. Our military commander has not returned yet. Now he will immediately start asking our army to pay for the ordnance. It is too anxious. Something?"
Xin Qiji laughed dumbly: "The terrain is narrow, crowded and humid, and it is inconvenient to replenish. Your army seems to be uncomfortable if you want to live here. Although the official family of the emperor of Song Dynasty is gentle and far away, I am happy to travel far away. However, to entertain you in such an environment is really not in line with the state of my glamorous Song Dynasty. Now our army has already prepared food, drinks, food, camps and shelters outside the valley, only waiting for your army to pay for the ordnance separately. After the war horse, you can satiate yourself with food and drink, rest your energy, and then pull out the army and return to the country. My emperor Song Dynasty official also understands that many of the brothers in the house are already back home. So they were arranged early in the morning, the deputy commander and the generals. My lord feels too anxious, I think these brothers in your army still think they are too anxious!"
His words were not loud, but the guards and sergeants who had been standing in the front row except for the generals standing in front of him were all able to hear and understand, and they couldn't help but start a low voice. **.
Today is different from the past. The Jurchen clan has long been the founding capital of the country. It is a line of the royal family of the Dajin Kingdom. However, the army of the Jurchen clan still adheres to the original "Menganmou restraint." Ordinary sergeants, but there are also young people who came from the home of Xianlu, a high-ranking official of the Dajin Kingdom. Even the most ordinary Jurchen youths are at least rich in their families, and they have no worries about food and clothing, and most of these Jurchen youths have never experienced the past. In the days when the army first started, Daikin’s power has grown stronger in recent years, and they rarely have the opportunity to fight to the death. Sometimes there are some small-scale counter-insurgency. At least a few days of work is already high. Playing the song of triumph, fighting as hard as this time, for many of them, is really a nightmare-like experience no less than the most terrible.
Previously fought hard with the Song people under Shuzhou City and Shunchang City, and for more than a month, it was already an extremely painful and exhausting experience for them. After the Shuzhou City was broken, they had no time to rest. , They led all the troops down, chasing the remnants, and when they were trapped here, they had no time to carry the grain, grass, and all the grains. These days, the generals such as Jin Wushu, Wanyan Yong, etc. could still be able to carry them three times a day. Meals, camps and shelters, but many of the sergeants are already starving, sleeping in the wilderness, where the clear springs are everywhere, their sexual names have been continued because of this, but because of this, the ground is damp. These strengths, Mobei, have long been Sergeants who are accustomed to arid climates have long been miserable.
What's more, the excretion of these hundreds of thousands of horses and horses is concentrated in this valley. Even though these sergeants are considered well-trained, there are various ways to deal with this, but the environment here has already arrived. It's almost unbearable.
Xin Qiji’s words of meals, wine, and dry camps may be dismissive of them on weekdays. However, under this situation, they have an indescribable attraction for them, even though these posts The guards were all Jurchen men out of a hundred, but they couldn't help showing a look of yearning and impatience.
Wan Yanyong smiled bitterly at the generals, and understood in his heart that Xin Qiji's words were true. If his words were heard by the sergeants, I am afraid that most of the sergeants would fight for it. To become the first part of the army to pay the ordnance war horse.
Xin Qiji looked at the suspicious look of Wanyan Yong and the generals, smiled lightly, and then said: "I have a very happy conversation between the emperor of Song Dynasty and the commander of Gui. I'm afraid that for a moment, I haven't had time to turn back. Send Ben The ambassador came, originally he wanted to let the ambassador and the generals do all the things in the previous stage first. If there is no more delay, after the commander returns, I am afraid that he will inevitably be reprimanded, and if the ambassador just goes back. I can't afford to commit a crime. I ask the generals to make a quick agreement. This envoy will work with the generals on the peace talks and withdrawal of the troops here, so the generals don't need to be too concerned."
Both Wan Yanyong and the generals changed their faces.
They are also smart people, how can they not hear the meaning of Xin Qiji's words.
In Xin Qiji’s words, although it was said that Jin Wushu had a very happy conversation with the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, it was difficult for a moment to turn back. However, the generals below Wanyan Yong understood that this was simply impossible. The meaning in Xin Qiji’s words was only I'm afraid I want to tell myself that the life of Jin Wushu is actually in the hands of the Song people. If they refuse to follow Xin Qiji's instructions and start the various actions of paying for ordnance and evacuation, I'm afraid Jin Wushu I don't know when it will be returned.
And Xin Qiji has also made it clear that if he fails this time, he will not return. If he stays here, he naturally has the meaning of being himself. As long as he can do things according to his instructions, Jin Wushu At the time of their own return, they have already seen how to get along these days. The southern country boy in front of him is indeed a fierce and undaunted generation. If he really doesn’t act according to the peace talks. , I'm afraid Xin Qiji will really burn all the jade and stone.
Wan Yan Yong and Xin Qiji glanced at each other, but they sighed softly, turned and said to the generals: "Let’s start preparing to withdraw troops and rest and reorganize all things, General Alida, I think your army will pay first. Warhorse ordnance, go out of the valley and rest!"
His mind was gradually restored to calmness now and then.
The more perfect Xin Qiji's performance was, the more he reduced his responsibility to a minimum.
Now Xin Qiji openly put forward the reasons and conditions that made it difficult for him to refuse. Under such circumstances, he cooperated slightly and implemented the conditions that Xin Qiji had already agreed to. Even if Jin Wushu returned, he could not say anything about him. .
Naturally, since the current situation seems to be back on the track he originally envisioned, his ideas still have to be implemented in the same way.
For example, let Alida, who is most loyal to Jin Wushu, go out of the valley first and become the first army to pay the ordnance war horse to the Song people.
This Jurchen cavalry is the most elite cavalry of the Jurchen clan. The ordnance horses equipped are naturally selected from a hundred miles. After paying it to the Song State, there is no time to retrieve it, and it will wait if it is through the hands of the Song Army. All Alida's army was disarmed.
Taking advantage of Jin Wushu's absence, it is up to me to arrange the sequence of troops for Song Junna to drop and disarm, just as possible to arrange some direct lines loyal to Jin Wushu. This is indeed an opportunity for myself.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but became a little eager, so instead he began to actively cooperate with Xin Qiji and quickly arranged Alida as the first army to pay the ordnance war horse to the Song people.
Alida snorted heavily and said coldly: "The commander’s plan was originally to prepare our army for a decisive battle with the Song army. Now the commander has not returned yet. What the so-called Heshu from the Southern Kingdom boy I don’t know where it came from. At this time, the deputy commander took the initiative and agreed to the idea of this southern country boy. Now he is starting to pay the ordnance war horse to the Song Army. It’s too anxious!"
Although he has always been loyal to Jinwushu and takes Jinwushu's will as his own will, he is given the feeling that he is a rough man with no brains, but in fact, since he can learn from those thousands and thousands How could it be as simple as it seems to stand out from the crowd and be valued by Jin Wushu and become one of the most important generals under the tent.
He has always ignored the fight between Jin Wushu and Wanyan Yong, or the great Jin Dynasty emperor behind Wanyan Yong, because this is not something he can and should be concerned about. Things, but this does not mean that he is really ignorant of such a fight as he is on the surface.
Last night, Jin Wushu seemed to trust Wanyan Yong with the whole army. He naturally saw it, but Wanyan Yong was the Jurchen royal family, and now he is the emperor of the Great Golden Kingdom. The deputy commander of the supervising army, even if there is no such change as today, I am afraid that one day he will become the commander of his own Jurchen army, and now Jin Wushu intends to go to the danger personally, leaving the loneliness, and let Wanyan Yong take the lead The army, but it is also the meaning of the question.
He knows Jin Wushu’s personality very well. It was Jin Wushu’s decision to use himself as bait to lure the main force of the Song army into a decisive battle. He was reluctant to give up, he was sad and angry, but he did not have a word of advice. .
Because if he changed his place with Jin Wushu, he should also choose exactly the same way as Jin Wushu.
However, now it is clear that the situation has changed.
Marshal Jin Wushu has been away for a long time. If you count the time, not only should you meet with the emperor of the Southern Kingdom, but you should also have discovered the main force of the Song army, so you can send a signal to point out the position and let yourself be this one. The army can move straight forward.
But now there is no news about Jin Wushu. Instead, some Southern Song Dynasty envoy came out, holding a peace book, and asking himself to pay the horse ordnance to Song State first, and move the army to rest and reorganize.
In fact, in all fairness, he heard what the Southern Kingdom Song Envoy said very well.
Not to mention that the peace book is indeed stamped with the tiger charm and handsome seal, and they are caught in this situation. They can negotiate peace talks on such terms, but they can already be regarded as the opening of Song State.com.
He also knew that it was definitely not because of the Song people’s compassion towards him, but those Song people knew that no matter how much the Jurchen cavalry under his account was trapped, anyone wanted to eat his own. The army must pay an absolutely heavy price!
But in any case, your own side really lost this battle, and you have to admit it if you lose. After all, such a price is still within the range that your own side can bear.
Of course, the most important thing is that if a peace talks are reached, you can save the life of Jin Wushu.
Although he delayed the implementation of the Nanguo Song Envoy's proposals on the grounds that Jin Wushu has not yet been classified, he actually understood that Song people would never use such a method to impound his Jin Wushu. .
After all, after dealing with Song Guo for so many years, although he is a military commander, he has some understanding of the peace talks with Song Guo.
He usually said that the people of the Song Dynasty were tricky, cunning and changeable. He also listened a lot and said a lot. However, when it comes to peace talks held in the name of the Song family in the name of the country, he is always guarded. The self-confident so-called Central Plains style is often cumbersome in some etiquette items or a lot of disputes, but in other places it can be said to be generous, and it is even more impossible to detain the enemy's coach in the name of peace and discussion. .
But it is precisely because of this that he does not want to implement Wanyan Yong’s instructions. After all, if Jin Wushu never returns, then Wanyan Yong who has been recognized by Jin Wushu is rightly the commander-in-chief. However, Jin Wu If Shu returns unharmed, then the commander-in-chief in his mind should naturally always be Jinwu Shu, and it should never be anyone else.
Therefore, he subconsciously became a little wary of Wan Yan Yong's move to list all the troops under his account as the first batch of ordnance horses.
After all, he knows for himself that if his army is disarmed in this way, it will wait for the loss of combat power, and if there is a fight between the commander Jin Wushu and Wanyan Yong or the Dajin Emperor. Conflict, lacking a force like himself that would stand by Jin Wushu's side in any case, although not fatal, it is indeed a rather critical matter.
Wan Yanyong looked at Alida's appearance, but knew his plan in his heart, took a long breath, and said lightly: "On the battlefield, the situation is changing rapidly. Now the Southern Kingdom Song ambassador is coming with the two countries and the book, and again Analyzing the pros and cons, repeatedly saying, I believe all the generals here already understand, isn’t it the only General Alida you don’t understand?!"
He looked at Alida with a cold smile on his face and said: "General Alida is brave and good at fighting, and the whole army is no one knows. If General Alida is determined to act according to the original plan of the general, then Shuai doesn't stop him, General Alida, please!"
Alida couldn't help but was slightly stunned, and was stunned in the area.
At this point in its real-time development, no one knows that it is absolutely impossible to follow the original plan like Jin Wushu.
After all, the most important link in all Jin Wushu’s plans is to use itself as a bait to find out the main force of the Song State army that they have been unclear about, and then move straight from the whole army to attack one point. Waiting for an opportunity to empty the enclosure.
However, it is already three poles in the sun, but General Jin Wushu has not been able to issue any signals to indicate the direction as originally agreed, and if it is not clear where the Song Kingdom’s army is, then even if this Jurchen army is right now Since being in a state of heyday, I am afraid that it is nothing more than dying.
The supervising army general of Song State was fascinated with his art of war, and he chose this place as a location for ambushes. It was really tricky. After all, the hills are vertical and horizontal, the mountains are high and the forests are dense. Relaxed, even the ordinary steps are not very easy to take, swinging the blade or arching the bow, it is also greatly hindered, on the contrary, the Song Dynasty sergeants were originally mainly infantry, and the terrain here is similar. It is extremely familiar. In this jungle battle, you can simply display an unknown number of times the combat power. Under the situation of one and the other, these battle-tested generals almost know that this is a battle with absolutely no chance of winning. .
What's more, if I insist on not carrying out Wanyan Yong's orders at this time, I'm afraid Wanyan Yong will have to lead his own army to attack, and gather all the 200,000 forces of the Jurchen army at this time. The army of the Song State in the dark was contending with each other, not to mention that he attacked alone, not to mention that Yan Yong not only would not give him any support, but was more likely to give himself some ghost ideas from nowhere.
If Song Dynasty’s army wants to eat the 200,000 Jurchen army on its side, it will naturally have to pay a very tragic price, but if it depends on the geographical advantage, it will eat its own army, it’s not too much. Embarrassing things.
What's more, I want to come to those Song people who have a very painful lesson about teaching a bird like myself. I want to come to have a very strong interest. As long as they lead the army to attack, then wait if they bring all the brothers under their account into it. gate of hell.
He raised his eyes to look at the generals standing around, but found that they all turned away without touching his eyes.
Everyone has private interests. These generals have already accepted Xin Qiji’s remarks, and now they have their own thoughts and concerns. Instead, they have to pay the ordnance war horse to the Song Army. Will it be their own army? Instead, they are passing through. After this change, his position in the foundation of the army, will there be any ups and downs.
Therefore, most of them were secretly happy in the hearts of Wanyan Yong's appointment of Ali Da as the first army to pay the ordnance war horses to the Song State.
After all, the Song State only asked them to keep half of the ordnance war horses, and Alida’s army is the largest part of this Jurchen cavalry, so if Alida’s army pays them first Armament warhorses, then they will naturally have a greater chance of escaping from this disaster.
Although they knew that after returning to their country, these ordnance warhorses would have to be supplemented and redistributed, but they were all veterans on the battlefield and knew their own military power for a long time. Half of the 100,000 high-class ordnance warhorses are completely supplemented, even if the power of the big gold is poured into the country, it is difficult to do it, not to mention the siege wars that have been in the past month and more. In the process of being besieged here for a long period of time, their ordnance horses have already been damaged countless, even if the Dajin Chaotang fully supplemented to ensure the combat strength of this elite cavalry, it must be a drop in the bucket.
After all, the ordnance is nothing. The Jurchen clan has received the Khitan Liao Kingdom's ordnance manufacturing skills, and now they have maintained a relatively high level of ordnance manufacturing. However, the best warhorses are extremely difficult to cultivate.
Even in the Mobei land, there are as many thousands of miles of grassland as there are countless good horses, but to train an ordinary good horse into a real war horse, it has to go through countless processes, of which just pulling the back one is enough to get rid of it. Nine-tenths of the horses are based on the 200,000 excellent horses that formed this Jurchen cavalry. It is indeed the accumulation of the Golden Kingdom over the years. Now it is absolutely impossible to make up this number. .
Although these ordnance warhorses will have to be redistributed again after they go back, that is after all things in the future. To avoid this disaster, there will always be a lot of room for mediation at that time, and even take a step back. He has soldiers in his hand, but he can also take the initiative in the distribution of the ordnance warhorses. So now I don’t say that no one will come forward for Alida, and almost everyone secretly hopes that Alida can agree to it sooner. .
After looking at the expressions of Yan Yong and the generals in front of him, Alida only sighed for a long time, turned to face Xin Qiji, and said, "Nanguo boy, how do you go?!"
