Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 610 Where did the Jin Army come from?
Wang Xiaolie's original plan was to reserve some important places as bait for the Jin army to occupy.When they attack later, the Jin army will inevitably send reinforcements.So no matter whether it is to encircle a point to fight for aid, or to encircle and annihilate it, the war will be much easier.

This is the case for Jinzhou on East Road in the north, and the same is true for Kaifeng Mansion in the east.It's just that the Jin army is not tempted at all due to its own characteristics. If the situation is not good, it will withdraw immediately, and it will never miss the gains and losses of a city or a place.Liu Yu is better, reluctant to part with Kaifeng Mansion.Even if Liu Lin's army was wiped out, Liu Yu still sent more troops to Kaifeng.

Since the bait does not work, it is necessary to change the tactics as soon as possible.The Wanyan Yinshu on Hedong Road has not many troops because there are no strong enemies around.Originally there were only 7000 people, but after Jiang Min wiped out [-] people, there were only [-] people.Why don't you take this opportunity to occupy all the state troops in southern Shanxi and point your sword at Taiyuan Mansion.

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie had made up his mind, Wang Ruohai hurried out to deliver the order.

Wang Xiaolie stood in front of the map, looked at the map, and thought about the next situation.

After the great victory in Shanzhou, what Wang Xiaolie thought was still the idea of ​​luring the Jin army to go deep, and then wait for an opportunity to wipe out part of the Jin army.Regardless of whether it is in the direction of Shaanxi or in the direction of Hedong, the department is relatively conservative and has not taken the initiative to attack.After the war, the Golden Army retreated much faster than expected, and this idea may fail.

After Ba Lisu was wiped out, the main force of the Jin army in Shaanxi should retreat soon, without leaving a chance of being wiped out by the Song army's east-west advance.Liu Yu in the east was scared out of his wits and would not take the initiative to attack again for a short time.Wang Xiaolie's strategic direction actually only has the East Road left.

Turning around, Wang Xiaolie was pacing slowly in the official hall.After a while, he turned and looked at the map again.

In addition to the Chinese army, I now have four divisions in my hands.Li Xing's rear divisions wanted to defend the area around Xiangyang and Dengzhou, and they could not go northward in a large scale. They could only use the three divisions of Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan and Shaoxing.Three divisions with 6 people went north to the East Road, and the Chinese Army served as the general reserve.

Wang Xiao paced back and forth in the official hall, unable to make up his mind for a while.

After all, he was not prepared for a decisive battle with the Jin army, and the attack on Hedong Road seemed insufficient.If the Jin army does not go south within two or three years, then Wang Xiaolie will definitely have the advantage in terms of strength growth.If the Jin army quickly goes south to attack itself, it will be in danger.

Where is the best battlefield for the Jin army to go south?Wang Xiaolie turned around and looked at Taiyuan Mansion in Jinzhong.

When the enemy army came from the north, they either went through Hebei and went straight to the Central Plains, or they went through Hebei.And the most important place in Hedong is undoubtedly Taiyuan Mansion.

Looking at Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Xiaolie did not move for a long time.

If the next battlefield is Taiyuan Mansion, he has two choices.One is to organize troops to attack Taiyuan Mansion immediately, and the Jin army will have no time to respond, and it is very likely that they will occupy it quickly.Then the enemy-our situation on Hedong Road will become what it was before Jingkang.The Yunzhong area in the north is Nianhan's lair, and there are many Jin troops.It is very likely that after occupying Taiyuan Mansion by myself, the Jin army will send heavy troops to attack, and I am on the defensive.If you don't occupy Taiyuan Mansion, but just lay out around it, you will form a situation of besieging Taiyuan.If the Jin army wants to go south from Hedong Road, it must gather heavy troops in Taiyuan, which is an offensive.

Whether to defend or attack, Wang Xiaolie couldn't make up his mind.

Attack Taiyuan now, and the Jin army will not be able to retreat.It is very likely that they will send out all kinds of soldiers to fight against him on Hedong Road.

Are you ready?Wang Xiaolie shook his head lightly.Whether politically or militarily, I am far from ready.

How would the Jin army respond if they did not attack Taiyuan?Let yourself go?It should not be possible.If you want to attack yourself, how will you attack?

Wang Xiaolie couldn't think clearly for a while, and paced back and forth in the official hall.

Wang Ruohai came in, saw Wang Xiaolie's appearance, and asked, "Why is Commander Jie bothered?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "Occupying Jinzhou and Longde Mansion, we will point to Taiyuan Mansion, the core of the East Road, from the two roads. How will the Jin soldiers deal with it? I can't figure it out for a while. If the army is concentrated in Taiyuan Mansion, It is easy to prepare to go south to fight me."

Wang Ruohai said: "If the Jin army concentrates an army of [-], it is impossible to go all the way to Taiyuan. It is more likely to go all the way to Jinzhou and go to the party. Go to the party and go straight to Zezhou to take Tianjing Pass and threaten Luoyang. Go to Jinzhou The state will attack Shanzhou and cooperate with the Shaanxi Jin army to attack."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If the troops are divided into two groups, won't I be given a chance to annihilate each one?"

Wang Ruohai said with a smile: "Master Jie, the Jin army would not think that they are so weak. In the battle of Shanzhou, we actually used less than [-] troops and wiped out more than [-] troops. But in the eyes of the Jin army, I'm afraid It counts our [-] troops. Besides, how can we support a [-] Jin army all the way through Jinzhou?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "That's right. Jinzhou all the way, can't support a hundred thousand gold troops. They have to divide their troops to ensure that they don't go hungry on the road."

After speaking, Wang Xiaolie returned to the map.After looking at the map for a while, he said: "As long as the troops have to be divided, it will be easy to handle. It is nothing more than blocking all the way and concentrating our forces to wipe out all the way first. Here, at Lengquan Pass, we must seal off the way for the Jin army to go south!"

Wang Ruohai looked at the map and said: "Lengquan Pass is a famous pass in Jinzhong. How many wars have occurred in history! As long as the artillery can be transported across, it is not difficult to guard this pass. It's just that the ancient road here cannot be done with a big cart." , it’s not easy to transport cannons there.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jiang Min seized the time to forge iron cannons in Shenshan. I heard that most of those iron cannons were scrapped in the first battle. But they actually won the victory and wiped out the three thousand gold army Cannons can’t be transported, but copper and iron can always be transported, and it’s cast there.”

Wang Ruohai said: "With the help of artillery, it's not difficult to hold this place."

Wang Xiaolie nodded.Said: "Lengquanguan, it's best to keep us safe for two or three years. In two or three years, we have expanded our army, so we won't be afraid of the Jin army going south."

Wang Ruohai said: "Yes, as long as there are two or three years, our two armies, more than [-] people, why are we afraid of the Jin army going south? If he doesn't go south, we will go north to beat them! It's just Jin Army, will you give us two or three years?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As long as the Jin army's way to Jinzhou is blocked, there is no fear of him going south."

Wang Ruohai said: "What if the Jin army does not go to Hedong, but comes from Hebei? Adding Liu Yu's army, it is not difficult to gather 20 people."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that easy. Liu Yu lost 3 troops in this battle, and there are more than [-] signed troops. How can Liu Yu do it in a short time to make up for the [-] troops? Jin Jun Coming from Hebei, Liu Yu can dispatch [-] soldiers at most, so it's not a big problem."

Wang Ruohai said: "Liu Yu's [-] troops can be ignored, but what if he adds another [-] to [-] gold troops?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "[-] to [-] gold troops, then they don't want to go back to the Northland."

Wang Ruohai said: "What if it is a hundred thousand gold army?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "The councilors don't have to worry about this issue. Liu Yu signed all the people in Hebei, and there are not enough people to transport food and grass for these Jin troops. Coming from Hebei, on the vast plain, the way we annihilate the Jin army is Too much. One hundred thousand gold army, I don't care about him!"

Wang Ruohai also laughed: "With such determination, Marshal Jie will be fine. The maximum strength that the Jin Army can gather will not exceed [-] troops, so why be afraid of him?"

The terrain of the East Road, Wang Xiaolie's army is very restricted.But once out of the mountains and facing Luoyang directly, Wang Xiaolie always had to be more careful.If coming from Hebei, all the way is plain, what is there to be afraid of Wang Xiaolie?
