At the moment when the change quietly appeared, Wanyan Zongwang and his uncle Wanyan Cha's mother were talking about Guo Yaoshi in the golden army on the opposite side. They were also a little surprised that the people of the Wu Dynasty could recruit such a famous general and a powerful enemy. "
"Because of Zhang Jue's incident, the troops came under the city of Yanjing. I heard that this Guo Yaoshi advocated to defend the city." Wanyan's mother tilted her head from the horse, "It's a pity that it didn't work out later. This time I have a bottom in my heart.”
"That's okay, uncle, what I hope in my heart is to be able to fight against the heroes of the world, this time he can surprise me... uh..." Wanyan Zongwang was speaking boldly, and suddenly frowned, in the darkness, he would Looking to the side of the battle formation, he raised his whip, "What is that... What are they planning?"
Wanyan's mother also squinted and watched for a while: "Retreat? Or regroup attack?"
"Instruct the generals to advance in the northeast, slow down, and concentrate the horse army at Ma Ji Meng'an's headquarters. Do not advance rashly, and guard against fraud! Quick!"
Following Zongwang's order, the messengers flew down, the rockets rose into the night sky, and the entire Golden Army formation became more noisy in a tense atmosphere.
On the other side, Pharmacist Guo looked at the situation on the flank, and suddenly subconsciously drove his horse a few steps, and then stopped: "What's going on! Why back!"
"It's Zhang Shuai and Liu Shuai's department..."
"I know it's them, they've been fighting the autumn wind from the side, just making a feint and making small troubles, why are they retreating! Pass my order and let them move forward—"
This sudden and strange situation caught Guo Yaoshi by surprise. He couldn't even think about why Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, the two sworn brothers, would do such a thing. The battlefield is huge. It was night again. When the changes were clearly seen, the two armies on the northeast flank had already retreated and pulled out of a big trough. The Jin people seemed to be taken aback as well, and their team gathered in front of the retreating army. , was silent in surprise. The whole process lasted about half a stick of incense, and countless orders and wills rushed through the chaotic battlefield.
The Jurchen blew the horn.
Then, the cavalry followed the retreating army and rushed down!
A rout like a tide began to appear on the side of the battlefield. The cavalry under Guo Yaoshi's command came up from the flanks, trying to block the Jurchen attack. Yet the collapse has already formed. The main formation of the Changsheng Army rushed towards this side. At the same time, he issued an order to try to distance his team from the two defeated teams of Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, and to reorganize a tight defense, but it was still too late. The defeated army and the troops directly under him have formed a situation where you have me and I have you. The collapse of a cliff. It gradually turned into the disintegration of half a mountain.
Countless corpses descended down the Chaobai River, and the night sky streamed with firelight, and the rest was the constant army formation and constant fighting. opposite. The Jin Army, who had been fighting for a day, resumed its raging offensive again, crushing the half of the victorious army that had not yet collapsed. Guo Yaoshi just subconsciously held back the chaotic battle and led the army towards the defeat of Yanjing City. After a few years, the scene of being crushed and defeated by Xiao Qian under the city of Yanjing seems to be back in front of us, and at this time, the first one who betrayed him was actually the brother beside him...
In the middle of the night, countless defeated soldiers poured into the gate of Yanjing City. Cai Jing, the prefect, stood on the gate and watched this scene. His whole body was already cold. As the army directly under the command of Guo Yaoshi from the rear entered the gate, the Jurchen was like a tide. Come, rush to this city.
After the city gate was closed, Cai Jing ran down and found Guo Yaoshi in the chaotic army formation. He was wearing a cloak and holding a steel knife. His body was covered in blood, and his eyes were bloodshot, like a tiger that was about to choose someone to devour. Cai Jing did not dare to be held accountable, and said in his mouth: "It's good for the general to come back, it's good for the general to come back, as long as the general is there, we can defend Yanjing..."
Pharmacist Guo got off his horse and turned his head to look at him: "Why don't you ask me why I lost?"
"No matter why you lost, as long as you can learn a lesson..."
"I really want to know why I lost!" Pharmacist Guo roared, "You come with me! Let's ask!"
He turned around abruptly and led the generals to the inner city. The rest of the soldiers had already begun to guard the city walls consciously, and the Jurchen attack outside the city stopped. Cai Jing followed Guo Yaoshi and walked forward, feeling up and down in his heart. After a while, he arrived at the school camp on the side of the city. This is where Zhang Linghui and others were stationed. The guards in the camp were obviously on guard. He came up to try to stop him, but Pharmacist Guo ignored him at all. The people around him had already rushed up to subdue him. After a while, the team rushed in like a tide.
On the school field in the center of the camp, the two generals Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren were obviously waiting for his arrival. The soldiers on both sides confronted each other, Guo Yaoshi walked straight towards the other two, and Zhang Linghui wanted to say hello, but Guo Yaoshi had already slammed. The punch hit him in the face, and Liu Shunren then rushed over to try to persuade him to fight, but was punched in the lower abdomen by Guo Yaoshi, and another punch slammed down from the back, knocking him to the ground, Zhang Linghui was beaten back at this time. After a few steps, he raised his head to speak again, when Guo Yaoshi stepped in front of him and kicked him out.
Swords were drawn in the surroundings, but under the coercion of Guo Yaoshi, no one dared to make a move.
"You all fled and betrayed your brothers." Guo Yaoshi walked back to his side and pulled out a steel knife from the waist of his attendants, "I will kill you today, do you have anything to say?"
Only then did Cai Jing roughly understand what had happened.
Zhang Linghui got up from the ground: "I have something to say." Then he pointed to Cai Jing, "But with him here, what should I say?"
Pharmacist Guo pointed at Cai Jing and roared, "Just say it in front of him!"
Zhang Linghui gritted his teeth: "Okay, you are the eldest brother. If you want me to tell me, I will tell you. The people of the Wu Dynasty are not worth it! They are just mud that can't support the wall! We can't hold it!"
"Who said I couldn't hold it!" Guo Yaoshi shouted, "I will defeat Wanyan Zongwang today!"
"Big brother, you can only defeat Wanyan Zongwang! They still have Wanyanchang's army in the west, and there are more behind them! What about you, big brother? You only have Changsheng army! How much can you defend? The people of the Wu Dynasty are not trustworthy, big brother. Forgot the big defeat here last time? You forgot how Zhang Jue died? They only know how to greed for power and make money. There are no men in the Wu Dynasty!"
Pharmacist Guo looked at him and shook his head: "But this time... it was you who made me lose..."
Zhang Linghui said: "But if eldest brother you win, if you fight too badly, what if you kill Wanyan Zongwang? Brother, we only have so many people in our hands, brothers do not want to be enemies with Jurchen..."
"Is it your brother, or is it only you who is a coward!?" Pharmacist Guo waved his hand, facing all the soldiers around him.
Liu Shunren came over from the side: "Brother, this is also my idea..."
"Then there are two cowards among my brothers." Guo Yaoshi took a breath, "You are in a hurry to retreat. You are afraid that you will not have the chance to surrender. You are in a hurry to be slaves, and you said that the Wu Dynasty did not Men, how can you be a man yourself? You were not like this in the past... I don't like the Wu Dynasty either. I don't like Zhang Jue's affairs. But how can I be like you... "
Pharmacist Guo's voice gradually decreased. Cai Jing's heart skipped a beat while listening to it, and after a long while, he saw Yaoshi Guo's shoulders shaking: "Hahahaha...hahahaha..." He laughed. When he raised his head, his tall figure seemed to collapse, and his eyes and laughter were full of grief.
Cai Jing walked over and said, "As long as the generals work together, Yanjing can still be defended. As long as Yanjing is defended, there will be reinforcements in the south." Hoped for him.
He looked at Cai Jing for a long time, and sighed in a low voice: "Master Cai, do you know that you people from the Wu Dynasty are like an epidemic..." After saying this, his figure suddenly burst into flames. Zhang Linghui originally saw him sigh, thinking that something was wrong. Turning around, he approached, this time Yao Shi Guo kicked his heart again, kicking him upside down and flying out, kneeling on the ground and slipping out a long way, blood spurting out of his mouth.
"Do you know how many brothers you let me kill unjustly—"
Pharmacist Guo's voice resounded throughout the camp. Seeing Zhang Linghui being kicked away, Liu Shunren took two steps back, while Guo Yaoshi just waved his knife, cut off a large piece of his clothes from his body, and threw it into the sky.
"I will come down, but from now on, we will never be brothers."
Countless soldiers around looked at this scene.
Cai Jing rushed up: "General Guo, you can't do this..."
Pharmacist Guo reached out and grabbed his shoulder, turned his head and said, "What can I do now? Master Cai, let's go."
"No, General Guo, you once said that as long as the city is defended..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Guo Yaoshi slammed his fist into his face, knocking him out and landing at the feet of the generals.
"I gave you so much money, you just need to nod your head..."
He whispered, touched his mouth, and finally glanced at Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren in the camp, looked at the many soldiers in front, and then turned and walked outside. The wind whimpered, the huge city under the night sky, the people of the Wu Dynasty have been operating here for two years, paying countless silver taels, and now the city is towering and solid, like a giant beast. To the east of the city, the Jurchens began to set up camp, and tomorrow, they will start making siege equipment and make psychological preparations for a long-term attack.
A person's ambition, in such a night, pierced the sky and passed away quietly.
*************
In the capital, the prime minister's mansion was chaotic and noisy. In the study, all the materials brought by Ning Yi, as well as many documents from the Ministry of Households, were collected and classified here. Yao Zunian, Ji Kun, Wenren Buer and others were doing all kinds of work here.
"The edict that Pharmacist Guo was named King Yan, it is estimated that it will be down..." Ning Yi looked at the document in his hand, and spoke casually while drinking tea.
"The sage is scared." Putting a file on the shelf next to him, Yao Zunian whispered, "As soon as the news of the Jurchen going south, everyone knew that it was not good, but at this time, he was crowned king... Go to the doctor indiscriminately."
Ji Kun said: "From the side, His Majesty seems to be very clear about the situation of the whole situation."
"Yeah, it's clearer than us..." Ning Yi frowned.
While speaking, Qin Siyuan came in from outside the door. He looked at the things stacked on Ning Yi's desk: "Is this what Liheng said before?"
Ning Yi glanced at it and nodded: "Well, the topography of the household, household registration information, together with Zhuji's survey to the north, all the terrain of mountains and forests that are not conducive to cavalry marching, and the preliminary plan for the transfer of surrounding villages and countryside... But now it seems that it should be of no use.”
At the beginning of the news of the Jurchen invasion. There have been a lot of predictions and deductions in the Xiangfu, and one of them is the most radical. Judging from the comparison of the strength of the Jurchen against the Liao people and the Liao people against the military of the Wu Dynasty, if the Jurchen took advantage of the cavalry and marched wildly south, when he broke through the two places of Yanjing and Yanmenguan, he would not take important towns and only plunder the countryside. , the army of the people of the Wu Dynasty will be powerless to their advance. In the end, the only place for a battle and a decisive battle will be Bianliang City.
Such inference results can only be said internally. No one dared to go up to the Golden Temple. Because the other side started to go south. Here we say: "Let's give up the entire north of the Yellow River, they may have no meaning at all." This is impossible to say, but if we really want to say, the hundreds of thousands of troops north of the Yellow River can cause harm to the Jurchen. What a hindrance. Everyone seems to have no confidence in their hearts.
This is beyond reason and tactics. But in reality. The victory of the Jurchen against the Liao people. It seems to be all evidence of this "unrealistic".
Under the premise that "the north of the Yellow River is of little significance" and "the Jinren's only strategic goal is Bianliang", Ning Yi asked Zhuji to do a lot of work, the most important one. It is to survey the terrain of the area where people live in the north of the Yellow River, and summarize all the places that are not conducive to horse fighting, so as to meet the needs of transferring people, food, and clearing the wilderness. He even made a big shift based on many materials from the Ministry of Households, a plan to fortify the walls and clear the fields and stifle the enemy's logistics within a range of thousands of miles. But of course, it all doesn't make sense right now, because no one's going to play with him like that. Because no one understands that there may be a "Shame of Jingkang" in the future.
Of course, his plan is currently only a preliminary idea, and it is still not perfect. A few days ago, the big guys discussed it together. They are both smart people, and they can only discuss it as an imaginary proposal of a brainstorm: The opponent's strength is that the attack of pure cavalry may not need to consider logistical support. The problem on my own side is that, in a place that has been in business for more than two hundred years, to clear the walls and clear the wilderness, let alone the possibility of the problem, the loss alone may be greater than losing the war.
"It may be useful now." Qin Siyuan, who walked into the room, sighed, and passed some information to everyone. After that, everyone fell silent, and Wen Ren Buer said, "Sir, this time..." Then he cautiously said nothing. Ning Yi sat back in the chair after reading those things, even if he had been mentally prepared, he couldn't help his heart churning: "What a joke..."
The information can be roughly divided into three categories:
After resisting Wanyan Zongwang for several hours, Guo Yaoshi was defeated like a mountain, and then surrendered to the Jin Kingdom. The people of the Wu Dynasty spent a lot of money to buy it back, and then used the entire Yanyun as nutrients, and worked hard to manage the Yanjing City for more than two years. At this time, the Jurchen East Route Army is estimated to have rushed to the three towns in Hebei.
On the west road, tens of thousands of soldiers at Yanmen Pass were scattered by the army led by Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin. They didn't spend too much time on conquering the pass. In addition to the Wu Sheng army guarding the pass, there was also the Yi Sheng army who had recruited many Liao people to gather in the past two years. Facing the Jurchens who had destroyed their entire country, these righteous victorious troops did not show hatred and fighting power. They all turned against the water and opened the door to offer the city. After that, between Yanmenguan and Taiyuan, and between Taiyuan and Bianliang, almost all of them were gone. It is a horse Pingchuan.
No matter whether it is a strong pass or a strong city, it is like an ancient proverb. In the end, none of them was broken from the outside. In order to prevent the Jurchen from going south, the imperial court once made a strategy of wantonly recruiting the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, which has now been close to a complete failure.
As for the third article, Tong Guan left Taiyuan and was on his way back to Beijing, and passed the imperial edict that Beishang granted him the post of Privy Envoy to fully control the war in Beifang.
Although he understands that the Jurchens of this era are like opening up, but Ning Yi never thought that everything would be so fast, but in ten days, the entire northern defense of Yanmen Pass was occupied, and the Jurchens drove like a torrent. straight down.
"Next, the south of Yanmen Pass is our own place after all. Hundreds of thousands of troops are stationed in various places. No matter how fast they are, they will not be faster than the previous march. We still have time. Liheng, try to organize your hand. When the time comes, cooperate with the interception from the north and slow down the logistics of the Jurchen. As long as the sage nods, all the officials of the household department in the north will listen to your deployment, and at the same time, let your Zhuji people join in to help, move people into the mountains, take them away Food, concentrate the bait, and cooperate with the nearby northern army to fight."
Ning Yi's eyes were complicated, and Yao Zunian said on the side: "Master Xiang, at this time, the risk is too great." Most of them can understand this matter, even if they know that Nuzhen is really powerful, even if the front line of northern defense has already Completely occupied, there are still hundreds of thousands of troops in the rear. Now that the war has only been ten days, it is proposed to clear the northern land and let the people lose their homes. The big one is the political risk that they cannot bear. Maybe some people really blocked the Jurchen in the front line of Taiyuan and defeated them? Hundreds of thousands of people have no reason to assert their defeat.
"There's no other way." Qin Siyuan shook his head, "Fortunately, the Sage knows... well. I won't mention it in the court for the time being. I'll go to the palace later and tell the Sage in private, and I'll be approved."
Ning Yi nodded: "The migration order should be from north to south as much as possible."
Ji Kun also said: "Let's expand the whole thing. It may be a good thing for the Duke of Chu to return to Beijing. He doesn't want to stay in Taiyuan, so we will find a reason for the Duke of Chu. The core of this battle will definitely fall in the capital, so the country The father-in-law returned to Beijing ahead of schedule. It sounds a little alarmist now, but the father-in-law will probably receive the goods. Let's push him to the forefront."
Wen Ren Bu'er laughed. On the other side, Ning Yi packed up his things: "If allowed, I'm going north."
Yao Zunian frowned: "Isn't it enough for Liheng to sit in the capital?"
"The fastest intelligence feedback is the most efficient. Anyway, after receiving it, I have no energy to deal with other things. I still have to go to the nearest place to take a look. Don't worry, if there is any danger, I will run away immediately."
"Then I'll go north with you." Wenren Buer smiled, "Anyway, you'll run away immediately."
Qin Siyuan looked at the crowd and smiled, "I'm going to enter the palace. The matter will be settled in the next two days."
The old man turned and left the room, and Ning Yi also smiled: "I'll go back and settle down first." I said goodbye to everyone.
Originally, the war had just begun. As the Right Prime Minister's Mansion in charge of logistics, he still had to undertake a lot of trivial and complicated tasks, but at this time, the sense of urgency was finally suppressed, and people had to prepare to move. And in the more than ten days of the war, the residents of many places north of the Yellow River began to leave their places of residence with their families and their families under the deterrence of the war. This is the first batch of relatively well-informed information in the entire Great Migration. , Countless troops are rapidly moving to the front line and the pass.
War is a soldier's business, and ordinary people have to walk away, or bear it in silence. And it is also in this atmosphere that some of them are very special people. At this time, they are either in twos or threes, or alone, holding different weapons such as knives or guns, wearing bright or worn-out clothes, or riding horses, boats or cars. , towards the front line of the battle that heralds death, coming against the current...
