Kingdom of Heaven and Han

Chapter 819 Surrender
Wang Xiaolie put down the document, and said to Wang Ruohai: "With 4000 troops, we have wiped out 4 of the Jin army. No matter what, it is a rare and great victory. Usually, the Jin army fights with slaves and miscellaneous servants." The [-] gold army actually had [-] to [-] people. This time, they were lightly dressed and wanted to surprise us, but they didn’t bring any entourage. I didn’t expect to bump into Zhang Zhen head-on, and the entire army was wiped out.”

Wang Ruohai said: "Zhang Chiyan, he wants to take [-] troops to attack Yan'an Mansion and leave [-] troops to garrison Suide. If Xuanfu is in good health, it is best to go to the Suide Army to garrison. Now the Jin soldiers in Shaanxi Swept away, many things have to be decided by Xuan Fu."

Wang Xiaolie said: "I can move around, so let's go to Suide City. Zhang Chi's decision to attack Yan'an is right. The night has many dreams. At this time, Zheng Jianchong was in shock when he got the news of Dantou Village. It would be easier to fight."

After finishing speaking, he thought for a while, and said: "We will take the cavalry regiment to Suide, and let Jiang Min lead the other troops to station in Shizhou. If you want to ask for a discount in Fangfu Prefecture, you may not be able to do anything. Keep two regiments, Coupled with the directly subordinate logistics, engineering and other departments, it is enough to deter."

Wang Ruohai nodded in agreement, and hurried out to make arrangements.

Jiang Min's division was larger than other armies. In addition to the normal five regiments, there were directly subordinate cavalry regiments, engineer regiments, and supply corps.In addition, the division headquarters also has reconnaissance cavalry battalions, guard battalions, messenger battalions, etc., and there are not many people.

According to the arrangement at this time, Chi Yuping led a regiment to station in Fangshan County to suppress Fuzhou and the northern states.Most of the rest of the troops are in Shizhou.Even if Wang Xiaolie took a regiment to the Suide Army, there would still be nearly [-] people in Shizhou.

Chi Yuping's regiment stationed in Fangshan County was not enough to suppress and deter.But after the first battle in Dantouzhai, it was enough.The fighting power of the cheap army is far inferior to that of the [-] gold army.

Wang Xiaolie called Jiang Min and Zhang Jun over, carefully instructed the precautions, and then took the cavalry regiment to the Suide Army.

At this time Zhang Chi had concentrated his troops in Yanchuan County and was ready to attack Yan'an Mansion.

In the official hall, Zhang Chi summoned the commanders and governors of the three regiments to discuss the matter of attacking Yan'an Mansion.

Pointing to the map, Zhang Chi said: "From Yanchuan to Yan'an Mansion, there are three main points along the way: Yongping Village, Qinghua Town and Fenglin Town. Roughly speaking, it is one hundred miles from Yanchuan County to Yongping Village, Yongping Village One hundred miles to Qinghua Town, and one hundred miles to Yan'an Mansion from Qinghua Town. The most difficult part is the one hundred miles from Yongping Village to Qinghua Town. The other sections are basically along the river valley. Only this Baili is going through the mountains, and the road is steep. Yan'an Mansion should be defended, it should be in Qinghua Town."

Dai Yuchang said: "Qinghua Town doesn't have a tall city wall, so it's not easy to defend."

Zhang Chi said: "Is there a city after all, although it is too small. Deploying troops and horses in Qinghua Town will at least give Yan'an Mansion an early warning."

Zhang Zhendao: "How is Marquis Yu going to attack? The army is marching, these places are smaller."

Zhang Chi pointed to the map and said: "For us, Yongping Village and Qinghua Town are too small to station a large army. Moreover, these places are inconvenient to transport food and grass, so they cannot be stationed for a long time. I plan to do this. The former military The two battalions will open the way ahead and capture Yongping Village and Qinghua Town as quickly as possible, don't wait long. Then concentrate our forces to capture Fenglin Town, where our army will gather."

Zhong Ci said: "Fenglin Town is 35 miles away from Yan'an City, which happens to be one day's schedule, just right."

Zhang Zhen and Dai Yuchang both nodded in agreement.

Zhang Chi said: "Our army has arrived in Fenglin Town, and Yanchang County can supply food and grass. After a few days of rest, Yan'an is just around the corner."

Everyone else nodded and felt that this arrangement was feasible.

From Yanchuan County to Yan'an Prefecture, the main problem is that the road is too long.It is not uncommon for a three-hundred-mile mountain road to travel in the mountains for six or seven days, or even ten days.The transportation of grain and grass is very difficult, and they can only rely on their respective troops to bring more supplies.Therefore, the key to the war is whether they can quickly get out of the mountains and reach the Qingshui Valley.

In Yan'an Mansion, Zheng Jianchong looked at the food in front of him, but he had no intention of eating chopsticks.His eyes didn't know what he was looking at, and he didn't move.

Chen Youjing came in from the outside, saw Zheng Jianchong's appearance, and could only sigh.He stepped forward and said, "Jing Lue should at least have some food, what should I do if I'm starving?"

Zheng Jianchong threw the chopsticks in his hand on the table and said, "I can't die of hunger! Where is Song Jun?"

Chen Youjing said: "We've arrived in Yanchuan, and we're gathering food and grass. Presumably, we're going to Yongping Village to attack Yan'an Mansion."

Zheng Jianchong didn't speak, stood up, went outside to look at the sun.

Chen Youjing followed behind and whispered, "Jinglue, the Song army is coming, we have to defend. Yongping Village is too far away, and Qinghua Town is the right distance—"

"What are you guarding? Didn't you hear about the battle at Dantou Village? You sent people there just to show the Song army their achievements. What's the use?"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Jianchong only felt irritable.Eight thousand Song troops may not sound like a lot, but compared with the record of Dantou Village, the number is astonishing.Adding up the several battles before and after Dantouzhai, the Song army wiped out the 3000 Jin army with 2 people, almost one against five.Calculated in this way, my own army of more than [-] has no chance of winning at all.

In the battle of Shanzhou at the beginning of the year, the Song army killed Balisu, which shocked Zheng Jianchong.I didn't expect that the Song Army at the end of the year would be even more powerful, able to fight five with one.Now that there is no Jin army in Shaanxi, and Zheng Jianchong has become a rootless duck, what should we do?
At this moment, a servant took a pole and danced a gun flower casually.Just as he was about to take a stance, he turned around and saw Zheng Jianchong, and hurriedly lowered his head.

Zheng Jianchong's face was livid, he picked up a top chair beside him, and threw it at the servant.Cursed: "Zhiniang thief, even you come to amuse me! Come on, grab a hundred army sticks! You must break his legs!"

Seeing that Zheng Jianchong's aura was not good, the soldiers nearby dared not speak.He went forward and grabbed the servant, knocked him down in the corridor, and beat him with his army stick.

Zheng Jianchong stared at the servant, still angry.The servant was beaten to pieces, Zheng Jianchong just sneered at it.When the hundred army sticks were beaten, the servants could only breathe out but not breathe in.Zheng Jianchong ordered to let go of the black dogs he raised, and jumped on them with gritted teeth.

Zheng Jianchong flicked his sleeves and entered the room.

Sitting down at the table, Zheng Jianchong said: "Captain, do you think this battle can still be fought?"

Chen Youjing sighed: "It's impossible to fight. The Song army has artillery, which is unmatched in power, and even the fortified city is not strong enough. There are no reinforcements outside. Even the Song army has been defeated by the Song army, and the forward has reached Ganquan. Wait until they have food and grass If it is enough, there will be no more than 8000 people.”

"Yeah, I can't beat it." Zheng Jianchong sighed. "All the Jin soldiers in Shaanxi were wiped out in Dantouzhai. In fact, Shaanxi has been taken back by the Song army. What are we, if we don't have the Jin army?"

Although Zheng Jianchong was very harsh on his servants, he treated people like Chen Youjing with courtesy and never made things difficult.Looking at his appearance now, Chen Youjing could only sigh in his heart.The situation is like this, there is really no way.

Turning around, Zheng Jianchong said to Chen Youjing: "The governor will go to the Song army for me and see what they say. I would like to surrender to the Song Dynasty with Yan'an and other state capitals. I only hope that I can retire safely and become a rich man."

Chen Youjing thought to himself, "Why do you have to do this?"

Zheng Jian smiled wryly and said, "Captain, it's not easy to be a rich man now. With the Song Army's posture, he doesn't even want to give this opportunity."
