Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 381 What a pity
In the county government office of Yan Township, Wei Yang snapped Zheng Qiao's official document on the case.Said: "Zhiniang thief, unexpectedly broke through Tongguan so easily! It seems that the Jin army did not leave many troops in the Guanzhong area! If you rush forward quickly—"

After finishing speaking, a person turned around in front of the case, muttering words.

On the one hand, Cao Yu said: "Could it be that Tongzhi wants to go straight to Guanzhong?"

Wei suddenly stopped and looked at Cao Yu.After thinking for a while, he said: "Forget it in Guanzhong. The Jin army may not have many soldiers in the area of ​​Jingzhaofu, and it is impossible to have fewer troops in the area of ​​Fengxiang. It is too far away from Dengzhou, so we don't need to fight to the death with the Jin army. Order the whole army to move as fast as possible! Occupy Huazhou in the fastest time, approaching Jingzhao Mansion! ——By the way, send a message to Xue Cheng immediately, let him speed up the march!"

Cao Yu made his promise, and called his own soldiers to come and send orders to each other.

Looking at the map before going to the case, Wei Yang said: "Tongguan is 150 miles away from Weinan, and there is no golden soldier blocking it. It should be five days. We have [-] troops occupying Weinan, and it is too late for the golden army to come back! Zhiniang thief, this is amazing. great merit!"

Having said that, Wei Yang went back and forth a few more times.Standing still before returning to the case, he said: "Zhen Fu ordered me to come to the west. If there is a chance, I will try my best to occupy Jingzhao Mansion. I originally wanted Zhen Fu to just talk. How important is Jingzhao Mansion? Jin Jun will not Send a large army to garrison? Unexpectedly, the Jin army really did not deploy a large army! Tongguan has been broken, and there is no place to stop me in the west!"

Cao Yu said: "A few days ago, there was snow on the road, there were few pedestrians, and the news from the Jin army was blocked. The snow started to melt yesterday, and the road was muddy again. It is indeed inconvenient for our army to march, but it also delayed the Jin army from delivering news. Isn't it God's will? ?”

Wei Yang said: "It doesn't matter, go west with all your strength! Anyone who hinders our army will be wiped out! As long as the Jin army is not in Guanzhong, why should we rely on Wei Yi to defend the city? Wushu is isolated near Luoyang, hundreds of miles away from us. It's miles away. Wanyan Huonu is in Yuanzhou, and Ye Liduo is in Longzhou, both hundreds of miles away. Now that our army is marching westward, it's time to attack the enemy!"

After speaking, he gestured on the map with his hands, secretly calculating the time spent on the road.

No matter how fast the Jin army ran, counting the time it took to deliver the news, it would take more than 20 days for the army to return to aid before they could reach the vicinity of Jingzhao Mansion.At that time, I had enough time to give up Jingzhao Mansion and retreat northward.

After several years of fighting with the Jin army, the Song army rarely had the opportunity to reoccupy such an important place as Jingzhao Mansion.Even if you can't hold it, it can greatly boost the morale of the army.The Jin army in front was attracted back, and Zhang Jun had a rare respite.

Wei Yang weighed it over and over again, took out Wang Xiaolie's military order and read it several times, and made up his mind.

Guozhou Yamen, Wang Xiaolie put down the official documents, got up and went to the door, looking at the bright sun outside.After a while, he turned around and said, "I didn't see the sun a few days ago, and the snow didn't melt. I haven't seen a cloud in the past few days, and the sun is shining brightly. The weather this year is really strange."

Wang Ruohai said: "The snow on the road doesn't melt, and it's inconvenient to march. Now the sun is shining every day, the snow melts suddenly, and it's muddy. Wei Yang and Xue Cheng are two armies, this trip is really not easy."

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "Yeah, it's not easy. The successful occupation of Jingzhao Mansion and Hezhong Mansion is due to the great achievements of the two of them! Whether an army can fight a war depends not only on fighting bravely on the battlefield, but also on special Can bear hardships! It is inconvenient for us to march in such weather, and it is also inconvenient for the Jin army to march. We are not afraid of difficulties, and we have overtaken them, which is a big victory! Tell Wei Yang and Xue Cheng, don’t be afraid of difficulties, and move forward bravely! There is no one-month Time, Wushu can't break through Shanzhou. Wanyan Huonv and Eriduo are chasing Zhang Shumi's troops, and want to return to aid Jingzhao Mansion, and the time will be longer. As long as they march quickly, they will have enough time to break through the heart of the Jin army !"

Wang Ruohai agreed.

Li Yanxian said: "Shao Yun and Jia He have occupied Shanzhou and are testing Mianchi. However, after so many days, the news should have reached Wushu. I just don't know if he will attack Guozhou in the snow. .”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Wu Shu came back urgently, and the time is too late. Not to mention, Dong Xian will not let him go so easily!"

Li Yanxian nodded.He added: "Shao Xing should have gotten the news. He set out from Shangzhou to attack Lantian, so he can take Wei Yang to the south. Even if Wushu occupies Guozhou, Wei Yang and others can retreat to Shangzhou."

After speaking, Li Yanxian stood up, walked to the door and looked at the bright sun outside.After a while, he suddenly said: "In the past, when I was fighting, I was always at the front, and all the troops looked at me as a commander. Today, I am not used to sitting in the state office and commanding the troops outside!"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "Jinglue, the ancients often said that if you plan a strategy, you will win a thousand miles away. Isn't that true for us? It's just that in the current army, people in the strategy have forgotten how to plan, and those who are thousands of miles away People forget how to decide the victory, so that the general trusts them. How can this be done? The general does not trust the command of the marshal, and the marshal does not trust the execution of the general. If the generals trust each other, how can it be possible to win the battle?"

Wang Ruohai said: "After the battle of Fuping, because the troops on the Jingyuan Road contributed the most, and were the first to gather after the defeat, Zhang Shumi recounted the Fuquduan."

Wang Xiaolie shook his head with a smile, but did not speak.If I remember correctly, Zhang Jun borrowed Qu Duan's head in the end.As a general, Qu Duan has many problems and is headstrong.But that ending was related to the military system of the Song Dynasty and also to Zhang Jun.

The generals are united in fighting against the enemy, the most important thing is to have that kind of system, and secondly, to have that kind of talent.Although Qu Duan has many shortcomings, under the right system, it might not be impossible to restrain his shortcomings and give full play to his strengths.The system of the Song Dynasty was prone to such headstrong generals like Qu Duan who did not listen to orders.Similarly, commanders like Zhang Jun who don't know the military situation and command blindly are also prone to appear.

Fuping's defeat caused many people to attack Zhang Jun and sympathize with Qu Duan.Some people even exaggerated Qu Duan's ability too much, thinking that if he was commanded, the Song army would not be defeated, and maybe they would occupy Guanzhong and peep eastward to the east.This is an over exaggeration of Qu Duan's ability.The defeat in Fuping was not due to Zhang Jun's blind command when the Song army had the upper hand, as many people think, and was overturned by the Jin army against the wind.To be honest, the 20 Song army at this time did not have the absolute strength to defeat the [-] Jin army.

When Zhang Jun arrived in Sichuan and Shaanxi, he should not concentrate all his troops to fight a big battle with the Jin army.Instead, it should be based on geography, scattered arrangements, and a long-term war with the Jin army.Wait until the strength of the two sides changes, and then look for an opportunity for a decisive battle.The defeat of Fuping was first of all the failure of the Song army's strategy.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help sighing: "What a great opportunity this is! Wushu moved eastward to Luoyang, and Eriduo and Wanyan Huonv went out to Jingyuan and Qinfeng roads, and Guanzhong was empty. If our If there are more troops, and if there are another 6 to 6 people, it won’t be just a feint. At least, we must eat up all of Wushu! With [-] to [-] people guarding the pass, how can Wushu escape!”

Li Yanxian hesitated for a moment, and said: "If I join forces with Zhenfu and defend Shanzhou with all my strength, if we concentrate Zhenfu Ruzhou's [-] troops, plus Dong Xian and Zhai Xing's troops, can Wushu be wiped out?"

Wang Xiaolie shook his head: "No way. It's winter now, the Yellow River is frozen, and Jin soldiers can ford across the ice. Moreover, how can 4 or [-] be enough if they want to quickly eat up the nearly [-] elite cavalry of Wushu? If you are not careful, Wushu and Eriduo will attack Shanzhou in two directions, and we will be surrounded here. Facing a [-] gold army, after all, we are not qualified for a decisive battle now."

After speaking, Wang Xiaolie stood up and looked at the map on the case.Said: "If you want to fight the Jin army in Guanzhong, you can't do it with less than 10 people. But if you want to fight the Jin army in the Central Plains, you need 20 troops anyway. We don't have enough capital, so don't even think about it now."

Wang Ruohai said: "A 20 army is enough to compete with the Jin army!"

"The decisive battle in the Central Plains, and the Central Plains' competition are nothing more than the same meaning. A decisive victory in the Central Plains will determine the situation in the world. Now that the Jin army is powerful, we can only avoid the Central Plains and recuperate in places outside the Central Plains. Fortunately, Jin The army started from the white mountains and the black waters. They were still hunting in the mountains decades ago. They didn't know how to govern the country. Even if they won the battle of the Central Plains, they couldn't play a role. So Liu Yu was appointed to guard the Central Plains instead of them. Separate the border with this dynasty."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolie couldn't help feeling a little emotional.In the ten years after Jingkang, the Jin army actually gave up the area south of the Yellow River, and only wanted to occupy the area north of the Yellow River.Four years after Jianyan, he stopped crossing the south of the Yangtze River and attacked the Jiangnan area. The Song Dynasty actually had a long time to recover.Unfortunately, as soon as the army was formed, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui couldn't wait to seek peace, wasting the opportunity.
