Shao Song - Vol 2.3 Chapter 6

Chapter 406

On the 16th day of the first month of the tenth year of Jianyan, it was the early spring season. On this day, the Song Army sent a large-scale unit to launch a tentative attack in the direction of Jingxing. At the same time, some of the troops gathered around Taiyuan began to move eastward at a slower speed.

The strategic intent behind this action is self-evident.

Moreover, perhaps from the hypocritical Zhao official’s family and the thoughtful civil and military leaders on the Taiyuan front line before the war, it is still very difficult to make up your mind to take this step… What is the position of East Mongolia, what is the fighting force after the gathering of the golden cavalry in the wild? In addition, what might have caused the rapid and unexpected outbreak of the decisive battle, including Zhao Guanjia’s own consideration of the post-war period, and Lu Xianggong’s urging from Linfen to Taiyuan with his sickness… These are real experiences worthy of narration and discussion.

The whole thing is a process of suffering and overcoming.

But in fact, from a macro perspective, from the perspective of the bureaucrats and scholars in the rear, the officers and soldiers of the middle and lower ranks, the golden men on the opposite side, and from the perspective of the allied reinforcements that have just arrived in Datong, the advances of the Zhao official family and the Song army are instead It is the kind that does not hesitate, has no gaps, so that the onlookers feel suffocating pressure.

the reason is simple.

First of all, it is natural that the hesitation and struggle of the Zhao official family appeared during the necessary war interval and the maintenance period. It is like washing the teacup, although it took a lot of effort, but at the beginning it was the teacup that was washed during the boiling time, and there was no delay. Later business.

Secondly, the most critical point is that the process of the fall of Taiyuan City is too amazing.

Looking back now, after clearing the Queshu Valley, the advancing speed, the speed of dividing and encircling the city, the speed of breaking the city, the size of the troops’ advancing in all directions, and the logistics preparations of the Zhaoguan family and the Hedong Road army, even if the battle is not considered The mythical process of breaking the city still gives people a feeling of shock.

To put it bluntly, when a very small number of people began to quickly think about the wild decisive battle that might appear after the city broke, all the rest, including enemies and allies, were still immersed in the two-way city-breaking performance that was destined to be recorded in history from all aspects.

In fact, if this battle is to be discussed in the future, the Taiyuan City and Yuancheng City may be taken together as the second stage of the Northern Expedition and the same battle. In this strategically significant battle, the Song Army achieved decisive victories in both directions at the same time, causing the Golden Army to lose the entire Hedong area and further lose the right to make subsequent strategic choices, and was forced to enter the Song Army’s presupposition. In the single strategic track.

“So, Hebrekhan himself did not contradict our psychology, but he was unable to ban the Eastern Mongolia tribes at all?” Zhao Jiu was thoughtful and seemed right in the empty Chinese military account that afternoon. This result is not unexpected.

“Yes.”

After learning of the news of the dispatch of troops, Nippon Tada, who was asked to sprint back by Wu Yan, ignored his troubles, and immediately held warm salt tea and wiped sweat in the seat to explain. “According to the news we have heard during this trip, in the inner East Mongolia, now the highest status and the most extensive tribe is of course Hebule and his cousin’s Pierzhijin-Taichiwu tribe, but like The Erqi Ministry is also very strong. The two major factions have been faintly opposed in Eastern Mongolia. It is only because of the rise of the Golden Kingdom that they have to be kneaded together…

“So this time it is the illicit gold man from the Ministry of Mier and Begging, and Hebre can’t control it at all?”

“No.” Ninbo Tada was also somewhat helpless. “According to Wu Dutong’s investigation and guess with his ministers, it was the Tatar tribe who hacked the gold men… but it’s not certain. It’s hard to say that it was a tribe who had hacked gold men. Perhaps the gold army retreated too fast. Mongolia can’t get enough troops. It can only be said that the Tatars are the most likely family to pass the gold.”

Zhao Jiu was taken aback, apparently digesting the information, and then asked, “Isn’t the Tatar tribe a border tribe that the Kings had artificially kneaded in order to fight against Eastern Mongolia?”

“Yes.” Ninbo Tada became increasingly helpless. “However, in order to show good agreement with Brahan, the Jinren transferred all of the Tatar tribe and territorial tribe to Eastern Mongolia.”

“Hebule is about to come?” Zhao Jiu was completely speechless.

“So that the officials will know that Hebre is not that stupid.” Ninbo Tada really felt dry. “However, through the ups and downs of the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty, before the Song and Jin’s smuggling trade, his troops expanded in the grassland. After the expansion, they shared their accounts with their cousin Bahai according to tradition, and Bahai lived in the south. The Ministry gradually became stronger, and was renamed the Tai Chi Wu Ministry, and the power gradually became no weaker than Hebreu’s own 孛erzhijin system… The two are not bad, and Ibabhai is the biggest main force in Hebreu, but after all It has become two…”

“I guess.” Zhao Jiu suddenly sneered at the top. “The Tatars are formed by small tribes supported by the Kingdom of Jin. They are naturally located on the southeastern border of the grassland. They have always been the responsibility of Ibahai and his Taichiwu tribe. If they are transferred to Eastern Mongolia, they will inevitably become Ibahai and It is a direct attachment of the Tai Chi Ube. I Bahai did not actually intend to turn his face with the Song Dynasty, and also knew that the Tatars were destined to be inextricably linked with the Jins, but anyway, the sky fell and the sky fell. So, he bleeds less happily and expanded his own power by the way, so he directly accepted the Tatars, and Hebre couldn’t turn his face with his cousin… Isn’t it?”

“Yes.” Ninbaozhong quickly lowered his head in the seat. “Official sage, clearly see Wanli.”

“Shit, you can see Wanli.” Zhao Jiu put away his smile, and the whole person is not good. “What I am most afraid of is this primitive tribe that is not bad-hearted, but can be said to be an enemy, and it can be argued or not, and any disorder can be caused…”

Ninbo Tada did not dare to answer for a while, and at this time, there were only a few guards from Liu Yan down in the account, so the account was silent for a while.

“In any case, the Eastern Mongolians have the Tatar Ministry as the inner support of the golden people, are they?” Zhao Jiu waited for a while, and signaled Nbaozhong to drink a cup of salt tea before he asked again.

“Hmm…Yes.” Ninbo Tada obviously hesitated, but he gave an affirmative answer after wiping his lips.

“How did Wu Jinqing decide?” Zhao Guanjia continued to ask.

“Wu Dutong said that since the officials are determined to send troops, he will follow the previous instructions and deal with them as soon as possible…Before the minister came, Wu Dutong had already sent a letter requesting that the generals in the Tattar Department of Hebrecht would do everything within three days. “Ninbaozhong did not dare to stop at all.

“What about after the disposal?” Zhao Jiu frowned slightly. “So take the remaining reinforcements from Eastern Mongolia to the south?”

“No.” Ninbo Tada finally swallowed. “No matter how Eastern Mongolia disposes of it or not, he will keep one guarding Datong and monitoring Eastern Mongolia; another guarding Yanmen Pass as the key; then he will bring the Khitan people, the Western Mongolia tribes, and the two kings and Guos. The soldiers of the deputy Dutong return to Taiyuan together, and will never delay the battle… This is what Wu Dutong asked his ministers to come back and tell the officials first.”

Zhao Jiu finally nodded, seemingly satisfied with this treatment method, but soon fell silent in the room for the second time, seeming to be thinking about something.

On the other side, Nihonbashi drank the salt tea and reported the key points, but he still felt a little breathless and seemed a little nervous.

This is also inevitable. You must know that this time in Datong, Renbaozhong once again had the mentality of rabbits and foxes, because he once again felt the panic when Xixia died a few years ago.

This kind of panic is not caused by specific betrayal or disposal, but it means that the fate of many people is determined by the level of carelessness of the superior.

In all fairness, the Tatars in the Eastern Mongol army this time may have been able to communicate with the Jinren, but perhaps they have not. It is really possible that the Jinren have withdrawn too quickly.

But Wu Da doesn’t care.

Those Tatar tribes who were with the army, a total of two to three thousand people, are likely to encounter the fate of all their members because of Wu Da’s words. Many so-called Tatar tribes on the border will also fall into ruin because of this incident. Disaster.

And on the next level, no matter how Heble and his cousin deal with the Tatar tribe, whether the Tatar people live or die, they cannot change the reality that the East Mongolia tribes will be isolated in this war. No matter how hard they struggle and remedy, they cannot change the fact that Heble and Eastern Mongolia have lost the military trust of the Song Dynasty.

In the same way, go up one level and come to this kind official’s house who has not forgotten to give himself a seat of salt and tea. I am afraid that the fate of the entire Eastern Mongolia tribe will be due to some potential possibilities. Because of a misunderstanding, because of this official thought, it was completely changed after the war.

This kind of thing has been seen by Nippon Tada once. Last time, the official chose to destroy Xixia easily because he wanted to obtain a place of victory when he attacked Hedong… and after he perished Xixia on the grounds of excessively destroying water and soil through reclamation. In Ningxia, in order to store the rations for the troop dispatch, the irrigated area has been larger.

“Ren Qing…Ren Qing.”

“The minister is here.” Nippon Tada returned to his senses, was shocked in a cold sweat, but quickly got up to answer.

“Sit down.”

“Here.”

“What did Western Mongolia say?”

“Western Mongolia is okay. Huerzhahusi Khan is just a mixed person, and the tribes of West Mongolia are just as the minister said before, because they are located between the West Liao and the Song Dynasty, and the inner middle is also mostly influenced by the eight tribes of the West Liao. It’s still safe…but this time when the officials let Tuoli go back, Tuoli jumped up and down, often in the form of foxes and tigers, and attracted many of his father’s direct tribes, which seems to be slightly wrong.”

“That’s the case, and you can’t stay as a bastard.” Zhao Jiu suddenly said something, seemingly inexplicable.

“What the official said is…” Ninbo Tada did not stop, and quickly agreed.

“Where is the Khitan?”

“Khitan is even more appropriate…Although his generation had allowed Hu’er Zahusihan to rob Datong and had a sense of temptation, Yelu was a frightened bird when I saw it. I know that Yinshan and him will remain in the Song Dynasty for a long time in the future. As it is reasonable and reasonable.” Ninbaozhong continued. “This matter is the responsibility of Mei Xueshi. He was in Datong for only two or three days, and he actually had seven banquets with a group of Khitan people and made eight or nine poems…”

“It doesn’t matter anymore.” Zhao Jiu chuckled, and after confirming that the Khitan people were okay, he quickly interrupted the other party. “It was for him to do this.”

“Yes.” Ninbo Tada became more careful.

And the Great Account of the Chinese Army also fell silent for the third time at this time…because Nippon Tada’s report was theoretically completed.

“How is Renqing’s body?” After a while, Zhao Jiu looked at the other person thoughtfully.

“Although the minister is old, he can still ride a horse in armor.” Tada Nibo was taken aback and stood up again.

“You don’t need to put on your armour and ride the horse.” Zhao Jiu finally grinned, but didn’t mean to let the other party sit down again. “I want to say that you have been with me for several years. Counsellor’s military affairs and frontier and land policy have many merits. And if this battle is successful, no matter where the northern border is pushed, there must always be one set along the frontier. The new road… I am not talking about Yanshan Road, but about Datong as the core, dominating the surrounding prefectures and counties, participating in Yinshan affairs and Mongolia affairs, which is probably equivalent to before Liao State…”

“Xikyo Road.” Ninbo Tada finally couldn’t hold back the reminder.

At this moment, all the previous thoughts, timidity, and panic were gone.

“Yes, Xijing Road.”

Zhao Jiu thoughtfully. “Renqing has been following me for many years, knowing that I am not the kind of person who likes Xu empty talk, whether it is Datong Road or Xijing Road, I think the Qing family is the most suitable person to be the first manager of this new road… Because you are from a close minister, you can definitely understand my mind and do nothing wrong.”

“Chen…” Ninbaozhong’s mind was almost blank.

“Furthermore, most of the territories in this road were unsubstantiated at first, and there were too many tribes and too chaotic. You should draw in, merge and merge, suppress and suppress, you are also experienced.” Zhao Jiu didn’t care about the other party’s reaction. , But continue to analyze the Tao. “What’s more, Renqing is still a Dangxiang clan. It is a famous Dangxiang hero in the world for decades. Although the court opposes ethnic divisions, some things are left over from history. We monarchs and ministers do not need to cover up. You, as a benchmark for party members, also There should be an experience of an envoy with real power, so that the party members can return to their hearts. I even thought that if you can handle the Datonglu affairs in a beautiful way, it is feasible to come back and make up a book… but the Qing family’s My age really worries me.”

“Official family.” Ninbo Tada finally waited until the other party’s words came to an end, but he knelt down directly in the tent, sobbing for a while. “The minister can share the worries for the official family, even if the body is broken and the bones are not afraid, how can he be too old? For the official family, the minister can still work for another ten years!”

Zhao Jiu nodded: “Ren Qing can just…and take a break. When I discuss with Lu Xianggong, I will give you a formal will, and you will go back to Datong directly.”

Ninbo Zhong was taken aback for a moment, and then he suddenly realized that he finally knew why Wu Jie wanted to send his old man back to report! This is a great favor!

However, although he is awakened, Ninbo’s loyalty does not show the slightest appearance, but is more serious: “Since the officials have elected the ministers as the military envoys of Datong, the ministers will inevitably do their best to serve the officials.”

“The current situation is like this. At this time, a manager who is so different from the mainland envoys is needed, but Renqing is right in front of him.” Zhao Jiu sighed quietly. “So, it can also be said that the era and the country have chosen Renqing, and Renqing should also not lose the era and the country.”

Nin Baozhong just bowed his head, and he no longer knows what Zhao Guan’s family is talking about.

In this way, after hurriedly determining the layout of the Datong direction, the last trace of the Song army’s scruples disappeared. In the next few days, with the control department as a unit, one after another main imperial battalion troops began to march east on a large scale.

At the very beginning, of course it was the second part of Dong Xian and Zhang Qi, who were the most advanced on the 16th day of the first lunar month.

On the afternoon of that day, there were four commanders Niu Gao, Zhai Jin, Zhai Chong, and Shao Yun with a total of more than 10,000 people. They were divided into two groups, one south and one north, and they smashed Xiongling and marched eastward as a backup.

On the morning of the seventeenth day of the first month, Dong Xian and Zhang Qi arrived in the eastern part of Shouyang County, which is almost the easternmost part of Taiyuan Mansion. They came to the famous Mianmanshui and fought against the small group of Jinjun.

The so-called Mianmanshui is a tributary of the Hutuo River, and it is also the famous river that passed through Jingxing and experienced a lasting battle.

At the same time, the Yuying Zuojun Dutong and Yan’an County King Han Shizhong personally led the seven commanding officers with the Yuying Zuojun as the main and Xie Yuan as the head. Take the road to the north of Xiongling Ridge.

By the afternoon of this day, when Renbaozhong hurriedly returned to Taiyuan, the four commanders, headed by Niu Gao, followed by them, arrived in Yu County and Shouyang County, the easternmost part of Taiyuan Mansion. .

On the eighteenth of the first lunar month, Nippon Chu returned to the north with an appointment early in the morning.

In the morning, Zhao Guan’s family led the dragon and left the city of Taiyuan under the **** of Yang Yizhong and Liu Yan. The entourage included Wang Yan, the commander of the imperial commander, and Li Shifu, the deputy commander of the imperial cavalry army. And Wu Lin, the deputy general of the Imperial Army after arriving at the confluence from the rear. The three of them descended, and there were fifteen commanders. The tribes led by them were among the 30 thousand imperial army rear army and 15,000 imperial army cavalry, which had hardly any downsizing during the Northern Expedition. Party item Qingqi.

Such a large number, plus the four thousand prince squadrons, the sixty thousand party auxiliary soldiers with rich combat experience, plus the miscellaneous people such as the Japanese samurai, the Pakhi army, and the inquiries, a total of eleven There must be some.

Of course, with such a crowd, the Japanese marched only thirty miles, but they followed the road on the south side of Shaxiongling, passing Yuci slowly to the east.

And the grand troop dispatch this time basically overshadowed all other messages… Whether it was the pioneers of Dong Xian and Zhang Qi, who cooperated tacitly, successfully conquered Pingding City, the capital of the Pingding Army, where there are not many garrisons on the banks of the Mianman River. It approached the Jingxing Pass in the narrow sense; or the 10,000 people from the Liqiong Tribe transferred from the Shangdang Basin to Liaozhou (the later Zuoquan County area); or the Datong Mansion led Wang De to return to Yanmen Pass, but no one cared.

On the nineteenth of the first lunar month, the wind was calm, and the army was marching forward.

On the 20th of the first lunar month, the anxious Wang De took the lead to return from Datong and led 20,000 troops into the Taiyuan Basin. After learning the news, the army minister Lu Yihao also set off immediately. He led only a few thousand troops and 20,000 horses. The civilian husbands who came out carried a large amount of luggage, plus most of the civilian officials who accompanied the army and marched eastward.

In the afternoon of this day, two generals Dong and Zhang, who had officially entered the Jingxing category, suddenly encountered the main force of the Golden Army at Baijingzhai. The Song Army was caught off guard and had to withdraw ten miles to camp.

On the 21st of the first lunar month, after three days of calm marching, the Zhao Guanjia’s main force arrived in Shouyang County, while Wu Jie led 10,000 Khitan Yin Mountain reinforcements, 15,000 Western Mongolia reinforcements, plus the remaining 10,000 imperial troops. Crossed Xinzhou and arrived in the Taiyuan Basin.

Immediately afterwards, Li Yanxian led the remaining Shaanxi and Luoshan troops, about 10,000, plus Wang De’s 20,000, a total of 30,000 soldiers set off together, and within one day they moved forward to catch up with Lu Yihao.

That is the same day, Niu Gao, Shao Yun, Zhai Jin, Zhai Chong, Dong Xian, and Zhang Qier will meet in Jingxing. Six commanding officers will take turns in battle, all night long, but they have conquered Baijingzhai and captured Jingxing in one fell swoop. In the early part of the key, he sent an envoy to report victory to Zhao Guan’s house behind him in the middle of the night.

On the 22nd of the first lunar month, it has been seven full days since the two generals Dong and Zhang set off. Wu Jie finally organized his army from Taiyuan to the east. After leaving 10,000 defenders in Taiyuan and Xihe, he led Qidan, Mongolia, Dangxiang, Xi, etc. The troops dominated by Qingqi reinforcements set off to the east.

So far, the Song Army is just a warrior sent eastward from Taiyuan, with as many as 140,000!

Moreover, when the war began, the 300,000 imperial battalion of the Song army was divided into two, and the direction of Hebei was the imperial front army, the right army, the navy, and the navy. There were about 90,000 soldiers. Then the main force of the imperial camp gathered in the east side is self-evident. A full 210,000 soldiers! Counting the 25,000 troops in Yinshan and West Mongolia this time, there should be 230,000 soldiers.

However, the months of war will inevitably lead to consumption and their own weird attrition. In addition, after the Song Army occupied almost the entire Hedong area, it was inevitable to leave defenders at key points, just in case, and Participating in the maintenance of logistics… For example, Taiyuan, Datong, Yanmenguan, Xihe, and Longde Mansion have left a systematic garrison.

Therefore, Li Yanxian saw Wu Jie appearing in the Taiyuan Basin and directly led the troops eastward without waiting for the opponent’s turn. In fact, the reason inside was that he wanted the imperial army to take on the defense work of the Taiyuan Basin and let his remaining troops participate in the east. The war… and Wu Jie could only suffer from this dumb loss, and had to sprinkle all the 20,000 people led by Guo Hao on the Datong Basin and the Taiyuan Basin.

Poor Guo Hao, he was pitted in Wubao by Qu Duan when Yaoshan, and this time he was pitted in Taiyuan by Li Yanxian.

Wang Sheng was also deceived, but Wang Sheng was self-sufficient, but he couldn’t blame others. He lost his weight in Pingxingzhai and couldn’t make progress. The logistics had just been supplied, but he could only continue from Pu Yinxing. Go on, as the’wonder’ behind Zhending Mansion.

But everyone knows that Jingxing is the most direct passage from Taiyuan to Hebei, and the most convenient passage for Taihang Baxing. Even the itinerary of Zhending Mansion and the importance of Taiyuan Mansion are largely due to their relationship with Jingxing… …Under this situation, it seemed that Wang Sheng wanted to catch up with some things.

In addition, there are more than ten thousand main forces headed by the Xiaofan Commander who was dropped from the beginning of the Li Qiong’s Eight-character Army. You don’t have to think about it. They must follow Qu Duan’s imperial cavalry into Longde Mansion and become Long. Only the main force of the eight-character army led by Li Qiong himself was able to turn back from Liaozhou and should be able to join the main force of the Zhao official family.

It was Qu Duan’s imperial cavalry. After Zhang Zhongfu’s defeat, they didn’t know how many soldiers were available, and they should now be carrying out the task of following the main force of the Jin army to the east of Taihang Mountain. The situation is even more eye-catching. Discredit.

There are also the Eastern Mongolia tribes that no one cares about, they are even more excluded from all calculations…Even after Hebreu received Wu Jie’s request, he immediately sent me Bahai to Datong to explain it. After discovering that Datong’s troops had moved south, I Bahai immediately turned around and took the initiative to persuade Hebre to give up his defense and deal with the Tatars.

More than 10,000 Eastern Mongolian tribes, from the leader down, almost all fell into panic and confusion, and did not know where to go.

But still that sentence, no one cares anymore.

And even so, even if you put aside all these branches and leaves, everyone can calculate a possible and shocking final number of battles.

“At least one hundred and sixty thousand, and a maximum of two hundred thousand. In the end, there may actually be seven hundred and eighty thousand…”

Across a Taihang Mountain, less than a hundred miles away from the forward of the Song Army in a straight line, north of the mainland Ze, in Gaoyi County, Zhaozhou, on the hall of Chengzhong County. After gathering all kinds of information, his eyes were bloodshot. Sitting down, Gao Qingyi gave a more accurate figure than Zhao Guan’s side, because they knew very well how many cavalry groups such as Qu Duan, Liu Qi, Zhang Zhongfu, Zhang Zhongyan, Zhang Xian, etc., were standing far behind them. people. “It mainly depends on whether Wang Sheng from Pu Yinxing and Hebule from the far north will come together. As for Qu Duan and Zhang Xian, it is no longer possible to solve the problem by looting Jingxing, the main force of the Song army.”

“It’s considered that they are already in the real sense. There are 13 million households here, but there is no time to replenish the various battle damages. In fact, there are still more than 100,000 soldiers and cavalry.” The lobby is empty and there is only one. The map was laid on the table, and the same exhausted Wushu was closing his eyes on the side of the table and talking, but repeating the numbers that were already familiar to his heart. “The living girl and Wulin Dayi have already arrived in Baozhou (the later Baoding). According to my letter, the eldest brother also handed over the four Hezha Mengan of Yanjing to Uncle Wanyan, and he will immediately go to Baozhou… …These three people must be able to make it in time! But what about the south? Is it undefended? What if Yue Fei is allowed to chase after him, what if he participates in it?”

“So start it as soon as possible.” Gao Qingyi also repeated the sentence he had repeated many times. “Before Yue Fei descended to reach the river, Zhao Song’s official family started before Jingxing arrived in Zhending… It is best if Wang Sheng from the north does not have time to converge, so it would be 120,000 to 130,000!”

“What does the marshal think?” His mouth was dry, and at the same time, exhausted Wu Shu closed his eyes and called another person in the hall… In fact, there were only three people around the table with the map in the hall, and they arrived in a hurry. Here, a small-scale military meeting was hurriedly convened.

It’s not easy to retreat, especially when Qu Duan Chuankoukou meets with Yue Fei’s ‘cavalry’, and has been following closely. In desperation, countless signed troops were abandoned in large numbers, and many supplies were also thrown away. Only a small number of family members, valuables, and military supplies were preserved…only fortunately, the signed troops can be replenished along the way, and there must be a certain amount of storage.

But since this statement was made, there was no answer for a long time.

Wu Shu opened his eyes in astonishment, but found that he was sitting diagonally across from him. He was looking at the map with bloodshot eyes open just like Gao Qingyi. He looked up at the map and glanced up at himself: “Just this count, along the way. Forget it so many times, why does Wang Wei count it again?”

Wushu was noncommittal, but instead asked: “What was the marshal thinking just now?”

“Thinking about the advancement of the Zhao Song official family.” Ba Lisu stroked the simple map in front of him, shaking his head in agreement. “Wang Wei, do you think that Zhao Guan’s aggressiveness in Taiyuan before, counts as the wind? This time, from Taiyuan to Jingxing, is it considered as Xu Rulin? Then, is it going to invade like a fire?”

Wu Shu was stunned, unable to refute for a while, but soon, he recovered and went to see Gao Qingyi again: “Gao Tong Shi, I will ask you again, put aside the issue of troop strength, and now take a breather, there may be some in the army. Is there anything important to deal with?”

“One, should Jing Xing guard?” Gao Qingyi blurted out. “The second rule, where to choose the battlefield? The two are interrelated.”

Wushu thought for a moment, then asked: “Is there only these?”

“There are many more.” Gao Qingyi almost sneered. “For example, is Yenching stable? Will there be a cavalry force that will go to Yenching? Are those recruits of the new Yenching army available? Who should be the commander? How much military demand does Zhending Mansion have? Chen Wang( (Xin Luguan) How many signings have been prepared for us in Zhending to assist? Our army has worked so hard to this point, how many layoffs and reductions? When can we get together properly? Just think about it, there are things everywhere…”

“But it’s not a top priority, nor is it a general overview.” Wu Shu sighed quietly, and then went to look at the simple map as well. “At the moment, the decision is to be made regardless of everything, that is, whether Yelvmawu should withdraw from Jingxing to join us, and then choose where to fight?”

“Withdraw!”

Pallisu spoke abruptly. “The inside of Jingxing is wide and wide, and Han Xin fought 100,000 people in the Xingdao in the past. It is not too narrow… Ma Wu and his subordinates must be unable to stop the Song Army brigade. It is better to withdraw and save strength. Moreover, Along the way, you keep saying that you must fight as quickly as possible, and fight as quickly as possible, before Yue Fei can catch up… It will be detrimental to us if you expect to delay the resistance at all levels.”

“Can you fight a decisive battle in Jingxingnei?” Wu Shu suddenly interrupted, as if directly acquiescing to the idea of ​​letting Yeluma Wu retreat.

“It’s a passage terrain, not suitable for cavalry brigade.” Pulling speed shook his head in agreement.

Wu Shufu went to see Gao Qingyi again, and Gao Qingyi also shook his head.

“So to speak.” The fourth prince nodded first, then read a word while looking at the map. “Today is to find a good terrain east of Jingxing and west of Zhending to fight? To defend the Hutuo River or the Mianmanshui?”

“Is Wang Wei confused?” Pulling Lisu suddenly became impatient. “I’ve said it, it can’t be delayed…The sooner you fight with the Song army, the more you can have a battle. Once it is delayed, it will be dragged to Yue Fei’s north river, and the situation will be worse! If it is to be quick In a decisive battle with the Song Army, what is it to guard these rivers? Letting them pass is the main topic!”

Wu Shu was surprised. He went to look at the map again, but he shifted his gaze to the area east of Mianmanshui, which almost turned to the north after entering the Hebei Plain.

At this time, Gao Qingyi also slowly said: “Nevertheless, we cannot let the Song Army cross the Hutuo River, because Zhending City is just behind the Hutuo River. If the Song Army uses the same method of breaking the city again, the whole army will be shaken. I’m afraid, I don’t dare to fight, what should I do if I sit back and watch the Song army seize the truth?

“Neither can we stand up camp next to the Hutuo River.” Pulling speed added again. “Otherwise, it will be a backlash…Once…Once we are defeated, although we are cavalry, we are not easy to disperse, and we are in danger of being wiped out.”

Wu Shu heard this, and finally touched the map and smiled bitterly: “In this way, ~www.mtlnovel.com~ can almost only be east of Mianmanshui (going north-south after exiting Jingxing) and southwest of Hutuo River (near Zhending). I found a place in the flat land between the northwest and southeast), and then led the Song army through the Mianmanshui to fetch me… But there was originally only one county in this area, and it is estimated that hundreds of thousands of troops will almost need It’s stuffed here.”

“Get a deer!”

The next moment, after a short pause, at this time, Dili Su and Gao Qingyi, who did not look at the map at all, called out the name of the county almost at the same time.

“One hundred and twenty miles away.” Gao Qingyi added one more sentence. “Our northwest direction.”

“Get a deer… a good name.”

In the campsite, Zhao Jiu looked at the map and gave another evaluation of the place by the riverside of the Mianman River, which was only one hundred and fifty miles away from Gaoyi in Zhaozhou in a straight line. “It’s a good name.”

As soon as Han Shizhong was about to agree, Zhao Jiu suddenly raised his head and asked: “Looking at the map, how far is it to the northeast of us…?”

“One hundred and twenty miles.” Han Shizhong was slightly startled, and then he was awe-inspiring. “It’s just a Jingxing channel, plus a spongy water.”

PS: Thank you for the second cuteness of Master Yunzhu Song.
