Water Margin farming to become powerful

The sudden invasion of the Jurchens from the south seemed to be an unexpected thing for the Song Dynasty.

The entire Song Dynasty's northern defense instantly fell into confusion.

Wanyan Zongwang attacked Yanshan, and Wanyan Zonghan joined the bandits from Yunzhong and attacked Shanxi.

The Song Dynasty and the North China base areas all felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.

Under Sun Xin's instructions, the North China base had made preparations several months earlier to defend all fronts. Each state and county was as tightly defended as a hedgehog.

Wanyan Zongwang led [-] soldiers and horses but did not dare to provoke them, and temporarily sent all the main force to the Song army.

Guo Yaoshi's victorious army had just returned from the Pingzhou front line, and at this time had to be transferred to the Jizhou front line for defense.

They had been fighting the Jurchens' servants for four months before and were completely defeated. Now they were directly facing the Jurchens' reinforcements, and they were frightened to death even before they entered the battlefield.

In a contact battle in Jizhou, the Jurchen army lost less than 3000 people, and the Song army directly lost more than [-] people, so the army retreated.

A scene familiar to Pharmacist Guo happened again.

He led his veterans of the victorious army and placed them at the end of the team. He originally planned to let the Song army consume them first, while he slowly looked for a favorable opportunity from behind before attacking.

As a result, the Song army retreated too quickly, and Guo Yaoshi's camp directly became the main frontal defense.

In the blink of an eye, the Jurchens broke through the Great Wall defenses.

Seeing that he was surrounded by Jurchens, Guo Yaoshi surrendered decisively, taking with him all the more than 2 Song troops he still had on hand as surrender troops.

When the Supervisory Committee heard Sun Xin's order, they knew that Song Jun would probably not be able to resist. However, in everyone's understanding, the Song Army could delay the Jurchens for some time or at least force the Jurchens to divide their troops. The North China Supervisory Committee would beat the Jurchens if they had the chance. Real person's rear.

But to everyone's surprise, the Jurchens captured Pingzhou in November and continued their southern expedition. In less than half a month, their troops were approaching Hebei.

Especially after Guo Yaoshi Wangfeng surrendered, the Yanyun Thirteen Prefectures that the Song Dynasty spent millions of dollars to buy were like paper. All the common people could not stop the Jurchen army even after half a month's delay. In unison, they arrived directly at the foot of Liyang City like an armed parade.

All the methods of fighting behind enemy lines previously arranged by the North China Supervisory Committee failed in this lightning-like rout.

Moreover, after Yaoshi Guo surrendered, he led a group of Japanese soldiers to help the Jurchens clear the rear, and went to various places to remove the nails that the Supervisory Council had spent its time leaving behind.

Now it is no longer a question of stabbing the Jurchens in the rear. In order to protect the supervisory committee's workers behind enemy lines, the armed forces based behind enemy lines can only devote themselves to fighting guerrilla warfare.

While Wanyan Zongwang marched all the way from Hebei into the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonghan also rushed towards Yunzhong Mansion to threaten Datong.

Urgent military information ahead came like snowflakes.

Within half a month, North China changed color.

Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Datong, was instantly nervous.

He hurriedly found Tong Guan:
"Prime Minister Tong, now the Jurchens are in great danger of invading the south. Are we ready for defense?"

Tong Guan shook his head and said with a grimace:
"This place belongs to the Khitan. People have been wreaking havoc for many years. Many of the people are dissatisfied with the king's rule. It is difficult to transport grain and grass to recruit civilians. It is not easy to prepare everything at once. Although I have tried my best, I am afraid there are still tens of thousands of people. There’s not enough food and grass.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochun turned pale.

"The troops will be approaching the city soon, what should we do?"

Tong Guan: "Why don't you send someone to find the supervisor thief for help?" Zhang Xiaochun was stunned when he heard this.

"Datong Mansion is the territory of the Song Dynasty. The supervisor thief is a rebel. How can he go to them for help? Even if he goes to them to ask for help, how can the supervisor thief be able to defend such a large city?"

Hearing this, Tong Guan shook his head and said:

"Lord Zhang, you don't know. The supervisor is very diligent in running the business in the Khitan homeland. There are dozens of villages just outside Datong Mansion, and they all have their own birth protection teams. Aren't they talking about protecting the country and protecting the family? It’s time to collect their supplies for our use.”

Zhang Xiaochun couldn't help but scold Tong Guan for being shameless.

He had asked Tong Guan several times before if he had completed preparations for the war, and Tong Guan always told him that everything was ready.

As the prefect of Datong, he had a lower rank than Tong Guan, and he did not go to Tong Guan's military camp to check. As a result, now that soldiers were approaching, Tong Guan told him that he would go to the supervisory committee and the rebels to get supplies.

"They have dozens of maternity care teams, but they only number in the tens of thousands. They may not have enough food and grass to defend Datong."

Tong Guan smiled and said: "We already have the remaining food and grass in the army."

Zhang Xiaochun cursed in his heart, there were [-] to [-] soldiers in Datong Mansion. Everyone else had food and grass, so how could there be a shortage of tens of thousands of soldiers?

Just thinking about it, I know that it must have been sold by Tong Guan and others. I am afraid that they have already thought of going to the Supervisory Committee for food and fodder as soon as the Jurchen army arrives, so they even sell food and grass based on how many Supervisors have there. Food is prepared.

But now that the Japanese army was about to arrive, Zhang Xiaochun could only bite the bullet and go to the Supervisory Committee to ask for food.

When he saw Jie Bao, Zhang Xiaochun felt that his face had been thrown to the ground, and he said in a low voice:

"Now the Jurchens are about to call us. Datong Mansion still has more than 1 people short of food and grass. I heard that your supervisory committee still has some food and grass hoarded outside the city. Can you allocate some to use with our army?"

When he thought about it, although it was difficult to say this, the Supervisory Committee had always been very concerned about the city defense of Datong, and even provided money to help Datong Mansion build the city wall. It would not be too difficult to mobilize the food and grass of more than 1 people.

But as soon as the words came out of his mouth, Jian Bao shook his head decisively.

"The army is approaching. How can the army protect the people without food and grass? If we had borrowed money and food a month earlier, we would have been able to deploy it. Now that Datong is cut off from the North China base of our supervisory committee, it is absolutely impossible to borrow money and food!"

Zhang Xiaochun was quite surprised. It turned out that the connection between the Supervisory Committee and the North China Base had been severed. He actually felt a little unsure when he heard the news, as if he had subconsciously regarded the North China Base as the main force to defend Datong.

But thinking of Tong Guan's instructions, Zhang Xiaochun could only say:
"After all, our imperial army is the main force. Providing food and grass to the army will definitely keep the Jurchens north of the Great Wall. At that time, the villages in Datong will also be preserved, and your Supervisory Committee will no longer need to prepare food and grass for the battle. Isn't it the best of both worlds? Things?"

When he said this, Ji Bao and the Supervisory Committee officials behind him all laughed.

"I'm afraid you, the prefect, have never seen the Song army fighting. How could you possibly stop the Jurchens?"

Hearing this, Zhang Xiaochun's face turned red with anger, "Why are you slandering the imperial army like this? Do you really think that you are the only supervisor in the world who is a hero?"

Xie Bao shook his head and said: "No matter what you say, I will never give you food and grass. It's useless to talk more. Please leave as soon as possible, Lord Prefect."

Zhang Xiaochun's face was dull, and he was sent directly out of the house by the person who took the treasure away.

When I went back to tell Tong Guan about this, I didn't expect that Tong Guan would be furious.
