On the third day of the first lunar month of the first year of Jingkang, Guo Yaoshi led his troops to cross the river, and almost no soldiers could kill Baimajin.
Unfortunately, this was the Song Dynasty, and there was no Guan Gongguan Yunchang in Baimajin. Guo Yaoshi was not the Fengyan Liang under Yuan Shao. After occupying Baimajin, Guo Yaoshi did not act rashly, but set up camp first and sent people to Huazhou to persuade the commander-in-chief of Huazhou Cao Rong to surrender. At the same time, Zong Wang also accelerated the crossing of the river on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Yu Yin looked at the messy Tiansijian camp, his face turned pale and he didn't say a word.
This is simply a mess!
There were nearly 10,000 horses in the Tiansijian camp, but at a glance you could tell that they were the kind of poorly managed and poorly developed war horses.
Many horses are fat and are not suitable for rushing into battle.
That's fine, but the most annoying thing is that the officials of Tiansijian disappeared, leaving only a few hundred horse herds in the camp, and they were panicked and useless. After Yu Yin inspected Tiansijian, he was really angry.
"Conductor, how should we deal with so many horses?"
Chen Dong frowned and asked softly.
Yu Yin thought about it, turned around and shouted: "Gao Yaoqing."
"The last one will be there."
"You go back to Kaifeng immediately and report to the Palace Front Office and the Ministry of War Li Shangshu, saying that Tiansijian is not suitable for living here and must be moved immediately."
"Here!"
Gao Yaoqing intervened and took the order and left with great strides.
"The commander is to move, and looking at the appearance of these people, I'm afraid it's a problem."
Yu Yin only felt his temples rushing, and a strong murderous intent appeared on his face.
He never expected this situation... It really corresponds to the saying of later generations: I am not afraid of opponents like gods, but I am afraid of teammates like pigs.
Yu Yin didn't think anything before, but now he really regrets that he shouldn't be in the position of Tiansijian.
Zhu Meng said that he came over and said in Yu Yin's ear: "Commander, you can't be rude at this time. You should immediately send someone to arrest the officials of Tiansijian who had left their posts without permission, and escape in accordance with military laws and behead them all and beheaded and displayed in public.
If you don’t control the troops, you must use thunder to shock these people... Otherwise, you will become more and more chaotic and even shake the morale of the army."
"Can Tiansijian roster be there?"
Without saying a word, Chen Dong asked someone to take the Tiansijian roster.
Yu Yin counted the horses left by Tiansi Prison one by one.
Tiansijian was from the capital. There was a captive officer, a captive officer, and a captive officer, and there were 1,000 and 80 soldiers under him, responsible for managing horses. Now, there are only 601,12 in Tiansijian, and all captive officers are missing. It is said that after learning that the Jurchens crossed the river, these three people ran back to Kaifeng overnight. As for what happened to run back to Kaifeng? Yu Yin didn't want to know. He felt anger in his heart and suddenly burst into tears.
"Gao Chong, where is He Yuanqing!"
"The last one will be there."
"I'll take you and He Yuanqing to take the troops from the headquarters. Immediately go to the Ministry of War to meet with Gao Yaoqing, and then arrest the deserters according to the name and address on the list? Before noon, be sure to take these people back to the camp without any mistakes!"
Gao Chong and He Yuanqing looked at each other, intervened and took the order, and roared away with the eighty cavalry.
Yu Yin glanced at Tiansijian Camp, "Where is Pang Wanchun?"
"The last one will be there."
"Let you lead your troops to defend the Tiansijian camp.
If someone acts without permission, you can kill it on the spot without notification.”
Yu Yin always gave people a slightly elegant feeling. But you must know that he accompanied Yu Liyan to assassinate Yelu Dashi in Kedun City and helped Yelu Yuliyan to lay the foundation of the Western Liao Dynasty. There was a sense of cruelty in his bones, but it was ignored most of the time. Zhu Meng said that he was right and did not control the army! The army of the Song Dynasty was already deteriorated, and at this time, he should not be ruthless, otherwise the Moutuogang Military Village would be defeated before the Jurchens arrived.
After a series of orders were issued, Yu Yin and his men left Tiansiguan.
When he turned back to the Mutuogang Military Village, Ling Zhen also rushed over with a look of panic on his face.
Speaking of which, although Ling Zhen is a military member, his essence is not a soldier, but more like a military scientific researcher in later generations...
Growing up in Kaifeng, I have hardly left Kaifeng Prefecture in my life. How can I not panic when I hear that the war is about to begin?
However, even though he was in a panic, Ling Zhen did not escape.
"Xiao Yi, is it really going to start a war?"
"Yes, I'm afraid there will be war!"
Ling Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head gently, "I thought I could be safe for a lifetime, but I didn't expect that this kind of thing would be indispensable in the end.
Xiao Yi, there are still six hundred soldiers in my imperial camp, so I handed over to Xiao Yi to command.
In addition, I also brought three hundred improved palm thunders... Unfortunately, the time is too short and I can't do more. I wonder if it can come in handy?"
Three hundred thunders in the palm of your hand?
Yu Yin frowned, no one is better than nothing!
"So, thank you uncle."
But he thought about it and said, "Uncle, let's discuss with you."
"Little B, please speak."
"You immediately mobilize your troops and horses to find vehicles in the surrounding villages. I have horses here, and there are a lot of supplies in the military camp. I estimate that the court will recycle the various supplies and food in the city at the latest afternoon. Mou Tuogang is in the northwest, which is exactly where the Jurchen soldiers point. Once lost, these nearly 10,000 war horses and the supplies in the military camp will be cheaper for the Jurchens... I'm sorry for my uncle's hard work, and try to bring the supplies here back to Kaifeng City."
Yu Yin said it very tactfully, and he refused to join the 600 soldiers in the Imperial Camp.
It’s not that he wanted to do this, but in his opinion, the 600 soldiers in the Imperial Camp were a drop in the bucket and were useless.
If you don’t do it well, it may even disrupt your own camp, which is really not worth the effort.
Ling Zhen is not a ungrateful person. Although Yu Yin didn't understand, he also knew that he might not be able to favor his own soldiers.
To put it bluntly, the soldiers and horses of the Imperial Camp are set up in the guard guard warehouse, and there is no training on weekdays.
The craftsmen in the workshop were still successful, but if they were to fight, even Ling Zhen himself did not think that he could achieve the results.
He said this, which is an attitude.
I support you!
Follow your leader.
Although Ling Zhen was stationed outside the city, the information was very smooth.
What happened on Maxing Street last night has already been heard from him... Xiao Yi is probably going to develop this time!
The success of saving the emperor is, although he only saves the prince, he is also a success of saving the emperor. Who doesn’t know that the official family has only this son. In addition, the official family favors the queen Zhu Lian, and he is not as handsome as the emperor of the brothel, and the position of the prince will definitely be as stable as Mount Tai. In this way, Xiao Yi will definitely receive more favors in the future. Although he is just a commander now, as long as he accumulates enough credit and becomes a success sooner or later, his future will be limitless.
Don't express your attitude at this time. When will you wait?
Although Ling Zhen and Yu Yin have always had a good relationship, this attitude of taking sides has never been shown.
After all, once he took the team, his relationship with Yu Yin would also change. In the past, he was Yu Yin's elder and had an equal relationship with each other. But once he took the team, he and Yu Yin became a master-slave relationship, with Yu Yin as the main one. Ling Zhen was the subordinate.
Ling Zhen had seen the exercises of the Moutuogang Military Village, so he naturally knew how powerful this army was.
To be honest, the 600 people in his own family are nothing... Pang Wanchun's Arrow Team can kill 600 people in the Imperial Camp in one stick of incense. Therefore, even if Yu Yin doesn't want these soldiers, Ling Zhen can understand.
"There is one more thing, can Xiao Yi's army need gunners?"
"Um?"
Ling Zhen hesitated for a moment and whispered: "There is a craftsman in my camp, which is indeed not simple... but this person's background is not good. His master once followed Song Jiang to rebel, and later died in battle when he was conquering Fang La. This person has extraordinary skills and can repair weapons. He is even more skillful. But his identity is a bit embarrassing, so there is no place to go.
If Xiao Yi is interested, why not keep this person?
His master and I had some friendship back then, so I asked me to take care of him. Unfortunately, my family was not capable enough. I could only keep him safe."
Craftsman, is he good at fucking?
Yu Yin suddenly became interested and asked, "What's that guy's name?"
"This person's nickname is Fire Leopard, and his name is Liang Yucheng.
His master was a famous craftsman in Jingdong in his early years. He was known as Tang Long, a Golden Leopard. Unfortunately, he was bewitched by Song Jiang and others and became a thief, which ruined his reputation. I saw that he was not bad at his abilities, and if he stayed under my command, he would be unknown forever. It would be better for him to follow Xiao Yi and get a chance to win a fortune, but I don’t know if Xiao Yi would like to accept this person?"
Yu Yin was stunned for a moment and suddenly laughed!
There was a golden gunman Xu Ning in front, and now another disciple of the Golden Leopard Tang Long popped up, which was really interesting.
"Since it was recommended by my uncle, I'm still interested."
"So, I'll call him over when I go back."
Ling Zhen sat in the military camp for a while, then said goodbye and left.
He went back and ordered his subordinates to find a car. Yu Yin ordered Niu Gao and Dong to strengthen his guard in the army to prevent accidents.
Chen Dong took Ji Qing to count the affairs of Tiansi Prison. Seeing that there were no one else, Zhu Meng suddenly asked: "Why does Xiao Yi think that the court will not fight the enemy's thieves outside the city?"
Yu Yin, silent!
How should he answer?
In fact, he didn't know how the Song Jun and the Jurchens confronted each other this time.
After all, he was not a person who studied Song history. His understanding of Jingkang was only twice the siege of Kaifeng and the shame of Jingkang.
All arrangements are made based on instinct.
Yu Yin thought for a while, "Dalang thought, with the power of the imperial guards, could he fight against the enemy in the field?"
"this……"
Zhu Meng said for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
Yu Yin's answer made him really not know what to say. The Tokyo Imperial Army was originally the most elite unit of the Song army. In order to weaken the military power of the vassal states, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin ordered the transfer of elite troops from the vassal states to form the imperial states.
The Tokyo Imperial Army at that time was indeed amazing in combat.
But now, the 800,000 Imperial Guards in Tokyo are famous for their reputation and are simply unbearable for battle.
Field battle?
There are really 800,000 imperial guards. Just based on the current situation of the imperial guards, I am afraid that it is just a meat bun to beat a dog, so I will go but never return...
"In my opinion, the government may not choose to fight in the field.
Kaifeng City has high walls and is not dangerous to defend, but if you fight on a strong city, the enemy may not be able to break through. As long as you can delay some time, the enemy will arrive. At that time, the enemy will not dare to continue to entangle."
"Well, there's some truth."
Zhu Meng nodded and agreed with Yu Yin’s statement.
"In this way, we, Mutuogang, may not be able to hold on for too long."
"Yes, as I think, after most of the horses and baggage in the camp are removed, they can be withdrawn to Kaifeng City."
"In this way, I will go back to the city immediately. Try to find more cars and wars."
Yu Yin said, "Let me ask Dalang."
To be honest, things have developed to this point a little beyond Yu Yin's expectations.
I originally thought that I could go to the sour jujube to resist the Jin soldiers, but I didn't know that the Song army was so vulnerable, and the speed of the Jin army's southward was too amazing. In ten days, or even less than ten days, the Jin army arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. Not only did they occupy Junzhou, but they also crossed the river and seized the Baimajin... In this way, it would be useless to go to the sour jujube.
Should we say that the Jin army is brave or the Song army is incompetent?
Yu Yin sat in the big tent, rubbing her temples gently... It turned out that this was a war, but it was more complicated than I thought.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
At noon, Gao Yaoqing, Gao Chong and He Yuanqing escorted more than 200 people back to Moutuogang.
The Qunmushi was originally affiliated with Taipu Temple, but during the Zhenghe period, Ma Zheng was assigned to the Privy Council and included in the Ministry of War.
The Minister of War Li Gang was appointed and was in a hurry to handle official duties.
When he heard that there was a plate of loose sand in Tiansijian, a large-scale escape occurred. Li Gang was immediately furious.
However, he was quite clear. In addition, he had reconciled with Yu Yin before and cooperated twice, so he did not blame Yu Yin.
Besides, although Yu Yin is named Tiansi Supervisor, he belongs to the Palace Front Office.
He saved the prince again last night. Even if Li Gang really wanted to cause trouble for Yu Yin, he had to think twice before he could do it.
Li Gang immediately asked Gao Yaoqing and the other two to arrest deserters according to the list. They all seduced one official, and the escort officer was blocked at home and tied up with ropes. The seducer was not found. It is said that after leaving Moutuogang, he fled to Luoyang overnight.
At this time, Li Gang didn't have time to send someone to Luoyang to arrest such a seizure official.
So I wrote down the man's name and prepared to settle the accounts after the autumn.
Except for the two officials, as long as the deserters who fled back to Kaifeng Prefecture, no one left was left. Some people were left missing. It was not easy for many people to be arrested.
Fortunately, Yu Yin didn't care. When he heard that these people were caught, he ignored them and ordered them to be killed outside the gate!
Two hundred and eighteen heads fell to the ground, which made Tiansijian, which had been in chaos, suddenly quieted down. Yu Yin used these two hundred and eighteen heads to warn those people to stay honestly, otherwise he would be a murderer.
As Yu Yin guessed, that afternoon, the Ministry of War sent an order to prepare for the war with all its might!
During the morning court, Emperor Qinzong was persuaded by Li Bangyan and others and was about to move to Yingtian Prefecture in Nanjing, but was strongly blocked by the new censor Chen Guoting. Then Li Gang and others denounced Li Bangyan and even talked about the pros and cons of Zhao Huanchen, which finally made Zhao Huan decide to fight. Li Gang was appointed to be fully responsible for the battle in Kaifeng. If anyone else said he would escape, he could be executed first and then report.
Li Gang was ordered to organize Kaifeng people to repair masts and oars, place artillery mounts and crossbows, and prepare to rely on Kaifeng's high walls and strong city to fight to the death with the Jurchens. Then, he took over the imperial guards from Gao Qiu, and equipped 12,000 imperial guards on all sides of the capital, supplemented by the wing army and Baojia militia to assist in defense. The 40,000 cavalry and infantry soldiers are the five armies in front, back, left and right, and Jin Mingchi 8,000 navy, practicing day and night. It is ridiculous to say that now, practice is basically just a temporary cram. But there is no way. It is better to have Buddha feet to hold than not...
Subsequently, Li Gang ordered the deployment of the front army outside Tongjin to ensure the safety of Yanfeng Cang.
The rear army was stationed outside Chaoyang Gate and was responsible for defending the shallowest and narrowest area of ​​Fanjiagang, the moat in Kaifeng, so that the Jin soldiers would not approach the city gate.
The order Yu Yin received was even simpler: to ensure that the 120,000 stones of grain, grass and supplies in the Moutuogang military camp should be safely transferred to Yanfeng Cang, and the 9,800 and twelve war horses in Tiansi Supervisory should also be transferred as much as possible to be sent to Yuetai for handover.
After the baggage and horses were transferred, Yu Yinze led his troops to station in Fanjiagang...
When Yu Yin received this order, she couldn't help but bare her teeth.
"Let the more than 600 people in Tiansijian be responsible for driving the vehicles, ordering the troops of the imperial camp to load the vehicles... and find vehicles as much as possible, and be sure to transfer food and supplies as soon as possible. Before these things have been resolved, we must stick to this place."
Niu Gao couldn't help asking, "What should I do if the thief comes?"
Zhu Meng said that after thinking about it, "The vanguards are just successful in crossing the river. If all the troops cross the Yellow River, it may take several days. In addition, the White Horse is still under the control of the Song army. I heard that Cao Rong and Cao Ning, the commander of Huazhou, are also rare generals. I think they may not be able to capture the thief, but at least they can restrain the captured thief soldiers and horses.
In this way, it will take at least five to seven days for the enemy to reach Kaifeng. We will step up our actions, which will be enough to transfer these baggages."
Cao Rong, Cao Ning...
Yu Yin always felt that these two names sound familiar.
Seeing Dong Xian's gloomy face, he suddenly remembered that Dong Xian had worked in Jinan Prefecture before, and it was said that he was suppressed by offending someone. By the way, he just called Cao Rong! No, it seems that it was not because of this incident...
Yu Yin really couldn't remember it, and time didn't wait for anyone. It was not easy to transfer 9,800 horses and 120,000 stones of food and grass in five to seven days. It was not an easy task. It must be stepped up, and we should try our best to find a car and a car.
This is also Li Gang. If you want me to transfer my baggage, I don’t deserve it. How can I transfer it?
However, Li Gang is now the Minister of War and the commander of the Four Walls of Kaifeng, and is fully responsible for Kaifeng's defense. Even Yu Yin was dissatisfied and could only hold on. Fortunately, we still have a Gao Yanei in our hands, so we couldn't say that we could use it.
"Dalang, Shaoyang, Sanlang!"
"There's a humble person."
"The transfer of food and grass and horses will be left to you and the three of you to take charge.
I will ask Ji Qing to lead the miscellaneous soldiers to assist Wang Minque, who is responsible for protecting the safety of the baggage and horses, and must transfer all the baggage before the enemy arrives."
Zhu Meng said that the three of them looked at each other, and then Zhu Meng said that the eyes of Chen Dong fell on Gao Yaoqing.
These two people are so smart, how can you not hear Yu Yin’s meaning?
I just arrange the task, and how to complete it is the business of you three...
Gao Yaoqing smiled bitterly, "Xiao Yi, I suddenly felt that I had come to the wrong place... Well, I left the car war to me to take charge. I dare not say how many car wars I could find, but I just said that I would try my best to find car wars. However, these people alone may not be able. Xiao Yi would better try to find more people to avoid delaying major issues at that time." (To be continued)
Chapter completed!
