Chapter 8: A Big Chaos

An error occurred while processing s private file

In the early morning of the 26th, the fast horse flew into Yanjing City like a flying in the darkness.

Wanyan Gao heard the bad news and was extremely shocked, and his anger broke out even more. Guo Lu Haobo was killed in the battle, Wanyan Yu, the king of Gai Tian, ​​was killed in the battle, Wanyan Xiyin, the left supervisor of the Marshal's Office, was seriously injured, and the Jin army suffered an unprecedented heavy blow on the battlefield of Daibei. What was particularly serious is that Wanyan Lou's room was weak and could no longer defend Daibei. The loss of Daibei would bring immeasurable losses to the Great Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Gao was too regretful. If he had known this, he would have accepted the advice of Zonghan or Yelu Yidu, withdraw his troops from the Central Plains and use his main force to return to the North to help. But now it is too late to say anything, so he can only do his best to save the crisis and make up for the losses.

Wanyan Gao immediately ordered Zonghan and Zongwang to withdraw their troops quickly. Zonghan led all the main forces to attack Hedong and capture Taiyuan; Zongwang led a main force to guard the Yellow River defense line to ensure the safety of Hebei and Shandong; Wanyan Talai and Wanyan's mother led a main force to Yanjing north, and cooperated with Pingzhou Road and the Liaoxi army to **Daibei.

Then he reported the reinforcements of Dading Prefecture and rushed to Daibei to meet with Wanyan Loushi. If Wanyan Loushi had already lost to Daibei, he would immediately enter the collapsed ridge and summon the deserts of Wugu, Dili, Shiwei and Mogeshi tribes, and ** Daibei

.

This order was questioned by Yelu Yidu.

Wanyan Gao was angry and in chaos. At this time, he actually wanted to take over Hedong and Daibei at the same time. This was simply a defeat. Of course, Yelu Yi could understand Wanyan Gao's mood. Daibei was defeated, and he was unshirkable, and this guilt would inevitably affect his title as the deputy chief. In addition, the Western Tent, led by Zong Han, would take this opportunity to regain some of the power. Although Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Xiyin were killed, the Western Tent army was also greatly damaged, but

Zong Han made correct judgments and decisions in this war, which was enough to help Zong Han win more support in Huanglong Mansion, and Zong Han's strength increased greatly. Once Zong Han and the Western Tabernacle power led by him rose in Huanglong Mansion, it would inevitably affect the decisions of the Great Jin Kingdom, which would greatly hinder Wu Qimai from implementing the Han system. Once the strategy of implementing the Han system came to a standstill, Wu Qimai's dream of trying to firmly control the power of the Great Jin Kingdom in the hands of himself and the royal family would surely break.

Wanyan Gao's only remedy was to reconcile the merits and demerits. It doesn't matter if Daibei lost it and then regained it, but the mistakes were still the same. When he was unable to conquer Bianjing and the Central Plains, he could only take advantage of the fact that the main force of the Tiger Lieutenant Army was still in Daibei and then seized Hedong to offset the blame for the crime.

However, Zong Han would soon know that Wanyan Yu and Wanyan Zongxian were killed, and the Daibei Jin army suffered heavy losses or even completely wiped out. Daibei had been lost. At this time, will he still obey Wanyan Gao's orders and take all the main forces in the Western Tent to attack Taiyuan? Obviously, no, even if Zong Han did not refuse this order, he would be slanderous. He could find many reasons for not being able to take Taiyuan, but Wanyan Gao would lose the last chance to retake Daibei. Wanyan Gao was borne this huge guilt and lost the opportunity to win the title of Chief Secretary. The failure of this battle proved that Wu Qimai, Wanyan Gao and others had major mistakes in their decision-making. They would pay the price for it, and the price was to give up part of the decision-making power, which was the heaviest blow to Wu Qimai, Wanyan Gao and others.

Yelu Yi didn't want to anger Wanyan Gao, which led to the ineffectiveness of his advice, so he first told Wanyan Gao that in order to preserve the strength of the Western Tent, Zong Han would not attack Taiyuan with all his strength, and Taiyuan could not be taken down.

"The main forces of the Tiger Lie Army have all entered Daibei, with at least more than 200,000. The defeat of the Jin army is enough to confirm this." Yelu Yidu said, "Next, the main forces of the Tiger Lie Army will divide their troops back to Taiyuan to aid. From Fengshengzhou to Taiyuan, the horse army gallops day and night, and arrives in four or five days. Now the 70,000 army in Wanyan Olu is attacking Taiyuan, Zonghan and more than 30,000 people are crossing the Taihang Mountains, Yes,

If Lu Yuji retreated from the Central Plains, he would have to arrive in Taiyuan within at least ten days. However, the Tiger Lieutenant Army was on the way, and it might have even arrived."

Yelu Yuji looked at Wanyan Gao with a pale face and asked carefully: "Marson, if Taiyuan has more than 30,000 defensive forces, can Zonghan's 100,000 army conquers as quickly as we expected?"

All fools know this problem, that is to say, even if Yelu Yu saw it, when he arrived in Taiyuan, more reinforcements from the Tiger Lie Army arrived in Yangqu City, and Zong Han didn't even need more reasons. He had no strength to capture Taiyuan. Taiyuan failed to conquer, and the Jin army failed to form a pincer attack on Daibei. With the troops that the Jin army could mobilize at present, it was impossible to recapture Daibei.

Wanyan Gao was gloomy. His face seemed to spit out of fire in his eyes, and his anger surged. According to Yelu Yidu's analysis, Zong Han and the Western Tent Army could not take Taiyuan, were powerless, or had no intention at all, and would not lose troops to reduce the guilt of the powerful opponent in the power struggle. In this way, he could only regain Daibei with all his strength, accept the guilt of poor command, and inform Wu Qimai and Huanglongfu to prepare for a new round of power game.



Marshal, Zong Wang's army retreated to Hebei, part of them guarded Hebei, and part of them went north to Youyan to attack Daibei. Their troops were far from enough, but now is the best opportunity for us. Even if the main force of the Hu Lie Army took Fengshengzhou, they would still face attacks from the direction of Dading Prefecture and the collapsed ridge. If we invested heavy troops in Juyongguan, the Hu Lie Army would then fall into a dilemma of being attacked from both sides. At the same time, they would return to Taiyuan, and their troops would be stretched." Yelu Yidu continued, "If Zong Han could not take Taiyuan for a long time, the Marshal could not take Daibei for a long time, and Li Hu frequently attacked the Yellow River defense line to threaten Hebei, and the main force of the Hu Lie Army took this opportunity to quickly adjust the defense forces of the two places, then the two sides would enter a stalemate again. The situation was very unfavorable to us. The Da Jin Kingdom could only accept the three-point pattern of the world and was at a disadvantage in its pattern."

This sentence hits the nail on the head.

The Jin Kingdom was unwilling to accept the three-point pattern of the world, so whether it was Huanglong Mansion or Wanyan Gao, Zong Wang, at all costs, attacked Bianjing and the Central Plains, trying to unify the Yellow River Basin first. However, this strategy failed due to the loss of Daibei. At the moment when the battle situation was developing to the most critical moment, Li Hu cut off the fire from the bottom of the pot and gave the Jurchens a fatal blow.

"Marson, gather the main force and quickly retake Daibei, so we can

To start over, you can attack Bianjing for the third time." Yelu Yidu saw Wanyan Gao's heart moved and took advantage of the situation to persuade, "The marshal took back Daibei, and the blame was just for poor command, but the reasons were sufficient and the punishment was limited. On the contrary, if Daibei was lost, the Great Jin Kingdom would fall into a disadvantage in the three-part pattern of the world, then the blame would be great. Huanglong Mansion would set off a storm, and the emperor and the marshal would have to face the attacks of their opponents and make compromises."

Wanyan Gao tried hard to suppress his anger and asked helplessly: "What is your countermeasure?"

"Immediately ask Zonghan, Yelu Yu to see Youyan, and transfer Wanyan Talai Lai, Wanyan's mother to the north, and then ask Zonghan to command the army to attack Daibei from Juyongguan." Yelu Yidu offered advice, "order Wanyan Wulu to continue attacking Taiyuan to attract the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to continue to reinforce. Please ask Zongwang to guard the Yellow River front line, and take the opportunity to attack Hedong from Handan to threaten Taiyuan, and then force the main force of the Tiger Lie Army to increase the strength of the reinforcements to help Zonghan successfully recover Daibei."

Wanyan Gao agreed and immediately ordered.

On the 26th, Hedong battlefield.

Liu Ziyu led his army to take a mountain path from the northeast of Taiyuan Prefecture and successfully arrived at Fangshan. Then he entered the avenue from Fangshan. He ran 80 miles overnight and began to attack Pingding City on the morning of the 26th.

The Pingding Army was located between Zhending Prefecture and Taiyuan Prefecture, so the location of its governing prefecture and Pingding City was very important. In order to ensure the smooth flow of food, the Jin army deployed 1,500 people here.

Liu Ziyu had only 5,000 men. Although he was unprepared for the attack, he had few troops and had no siege equipment, so his attack was blocked.

Fortunately, at noon that day, Lu Junyi led the Seventh Army of Hulie to Pingding City and met with Liu Ziyu. The two armies immediately launched a fierce attack. Except for one hundred Jurchens, the rest of the defenders in the city were Han soldiers, and three or four hundred of them were originally Hebei rebels. After being captured, they directly transferred to the Jin army. During the fierce battle, these people suddenly turned against each other and opened the city gate. The Tiger Lie Army took advantage of the situation and rushed in and took Pingding City.

Without waiting for a break, Lu Junyi ordered the general of the Ma army to set out immediately and attack the Chengtian Army Fortress.

The team set off for less than an hour and rushed back again. The Jin army team was coming from Chengtian Army Fort

The village is coming.

Lu Junyi and Liu Ziyu were shocked. While reporting to Taiyuan urgently, they discussed strategies to defend the city. The Jin army team came to help. Lu Junyi and the Tiger Lie Seventh Army could hold on for a while, but Wanyan Olu under Yangqu City was cut off because the rear route was not transported, and the food, grass and supplies could not be transported, so they must retreat. In this way, Lu Junyi was attacked from both sides.

"It's better to follow the long-term deployment." Liu Ziyu took out this strategy. After carefully considering the situation, he said to Lu Junyi, "I'm going to fight Shouyang City now. You are pacifying and blocking the reinforcements of the Jin bandits. After Wanyan's withdrawal, I will block him in Shouyang and cooperate with other main forces to attack the Jin bandits in the Fangshan area, causing severe damage to the enemy."

"At present, we don't know how many reinforcements there are in the Jin thief, but my 10,000 troops are enough to stop for four or five days." Lu Junyi said, "I will defend Pingding City at all costs to cooperate with the main force to siege and kill Wanyan Olu."

Liu Ziyu and Lu Junyi agreed on some details and immediately led their troops to Shouyang City.

At the 5th hour of Shen dynasty, Zong Han led his army to arrive

Pingding City, the tiger-like battle flag hanging high on Pingding City surprised him.

Gao Qingyi, Zong Pan, Zong Jun, Yelu Foding and others were also shocked. At this moment, Wanyan Olu was under the city of Taiyuan, and the Hu Lie Army surrounded him, cut off his retreat, and cut off his food and supplies. If the main force did not come in time, Wanyan Olu and his tens of thousands of troops would suffer heavy losses even if they broke through.

Zong Han secretly wiped his cold sweat and immediately ordered to attack overnight and to mobilize troops from Zhending Mansion to help. He only had 30,000 horse troops and lacked siege equipment. Forcibly attacking was purely for death. He had to mobilize people and equipment from Zhending Mansion. However, in this way, time was delayed, and there was a lot of danger in Wanyan's Wulu.

"I urgently report to Yanjing, ask the Marshal's Office to reconsider the situation and withdraw troops from the Central Plains immediately."

"I will sue the right deputy general Zong Wang again. Wanyan Olu is trapped in Taiyuan. I urgently need reinforcements. Please consider withdrawing troops from Bianjing."
