Speaking of wars, there is a very interesting phenomenon, that is, the commander takes the greatest credit for winning the war, but it is obviously the generals who lead the troops who personally participate in the fighting, and the generals directly command many troops, and even one general can completely decide the entire battle.
The success or failure of a battle, but the credit is sidelined compared to that of the coach, and he can only get a small amount of credit.
And when a battle is lost, the commander has the greatest responsibility, and the generals have basically no responsibility. However, in most battles, it is obvious that the generals were unable to defeat others and failed to implement the commander's intentions, so they lost in the end. Why is it all the responsibility of the commander and the generals?
Basically no responsibility.
Moreover, both the coach and the generals have acquiesced in this phenomenon and recognized this division of responsibilities, which is very interesting.
In fact, before the war, the coach and the generals had already reached a tacit understanding about this phenomenon, and the credit and responsibilities were basically clearly divided before the war.
For example, now, Liu Yi, Zhang Zuo and others are reminding Wanyan Zhongde that his behavior is abnormal and asking Meng Gong to be careful. If the battle is won in the future, coach Meng Gong will make a wise decision and should take the greatest credit.
If the battle is lost, the generals have already reminded Meng Gong before the war. Now that the battle is lost, the generals will naturally have no responsibility, and the entire responsibility lies with Meng Gong.
In a word, as long as the generals say a few symbolic words before the battle, no matter whether they win or lose the battle, the generals below will ensure the harvest regardless of drought or flood. If they win, they will drink soup. If they lose, it has nothing to do with me.
When the two armies met, everyone in the Song army glared at the Jin soldiers. It was the shame of Jingkang and the misery of the destruction of the country and the death of the family. This was the lingering hatred of every ambitious man in the Song Dynasty. Now that they have met, they can still have
Looking good?
Different from the Song army, the Jin soldiers all showed fear. Seeing hundreds of thousands of Song troops standing opposite with such murderous intent, and there were several groups of Song troops like this, the Jin soldiers were frightened just thinking about it.
In addition, Jin Bing also knew that even if he won the battle with the blessing of his ancestors, he would not necessarily get good results. Thinking about the 400 people who followed Monk Wanyan Chen in the war, they were slaughtered by the court when they came back.
Monk Yan Chen was also hacked to pieces.
Even if Monk Wanyan Chen has such a great contribution, how can these little soldiers like them end up well?
When Jin Bing was like this, his energy and spirit were naturally sluggish and disorganized. Meng Gong saw this aura and was delighted in his heart.
It's stable today.
With confidence in his heart, Meng Gong was about to order a fight, but Wanyan Zhongde rode out on his own horse and shouted: "Does the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty dare to speak out?"
Such a scene is naturally not suitable for Meng Gong. As the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, if the Jin soldiers make a cold arrow, wouldn't they have to restore the situation?
But this was in front of ten thousand troops, and Wanyan Zhongde came out single-handedly, and asked Meng Gong by name if he dared to come out. If Meng Gong didn't show up to meet him, wouldn't it mean that the morale of the army would be ruined?
General Liu Yi then said: "General, don't pay attention to him, just give the order directly."
Meng Gong smiled slightly, waved his hand and said: "It's just a golden general, what are you afraid of?"
After saying that, Meng Gong came to Wanyan Zhongde and faced him face to face.
Meng Gong's courage inspired the Song army, and the Song army shouted in unison: "The commander is mighty, the commander is mighty,,,"
Hundreds of thousands of people shouted in unison, their voices resounding throughout the world, making the Jin soldiers on the opposite side feel frightened.
Wanyan Zhongde looked at Meng Gong, and then said: "I didn't expect that the commander of the 600,000-strong army would be so young. Is this because there is no one in the Song army, or is it because your emperor is blind?"
"How dare you, Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Han family, is someone like you, a small minister from a foreign country, who can discuss this? Don't forget your identity?"
Meng Gong sternly reprimanded without any politeness and was full of authority, which even frightened Wanyan Zhongde.
Then Meng Gong said loudly: "This time, I am leading the 600,000-strong royal army in the Northern Expedition. It is in accordance with God's will and in response to the people's support. As a general of the Jin Kingdom, you should see the situation clearly and know the pros and cons. Why bother struggling in vain?
Wanyan Zhongde, as a member of the clan of the Jin Kingdom, it is understandable that you do not hesitate to sacrifice your life, but why do you bring your soldiers to seek death together? Aren't you going to provoke the ridicule of the world with your shameless behavior?"
After listening to the 50,000 gold soldiers behind him, many people couldn't help but think: "The commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty is right. The world of the Jin Kingdom belongs to the Wanyan family. Wanyan Zhongde is right to fight to the death to defend it, but what are we small soldiers?"
, why do you have to risk your life to defend it?"
Having this thought in my mind made my already sluggish morale drop even further.
Meng Gong knew that there was no point in arguing with Wanyan Zhongde, and he had no intention of him surrendering, so he scolded him sharply and then returned to the main formation, too lazy to bother with him any more.
When Meng Gong turned around, a Jin soldier who had been warned by Wanyan Zhongde long ago drew his bow and arrow and wanted to shoot Meng Gong to death.
Unexpectedly, Meng Gong sensed the dangerous aura, and suddenly turned his head, looking like thunder and lightning at the golden soldier who was shooting the arrow. This sudden scene made his hand tremble, and the arrow fell to the ground.
】
This scene fell in the eyes of Wanyan Zhongde. Wanyan Zhongde was immediately filled with despair. He finally understood why the young Meng Gong could become the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition. This was a genius sent from heaven!
At this moment, Wanyan Zhongde only had one sentence in his mind, "I, Dajin, have been defeated, hopelessly defeated."
This is indeed the case. After Meng Gong returned to the formation, he immediately ordered an attack. 50,000 Song troops launched the first round of attacks. The only Jin soldiers they fought were unable to raise their heads and suffered heavy casualties.
Immediately, Meng Gong ordered Liu Yi and Zhang Zuo to lead 20,000 troops each to outflank the two wings of the Jin Kingdom. At this time, the phalanx of the Jin soldiers could not stand at all. Regardless of Wanyan Zhongde's command, the phalanx of the Jin soldiers was still in chaos. What happened next
Great rout.
"Wanyan Zhongde, look at the knife."
The young general Bi Nian wanted to restore the glory of his ancestors. When the Jin army was defeated, he led only dozens of people and went straight to Wanyan Zhongde.
Wanyan Zhongde saw that Bi Nian was extremely brave and was as young as Meng Gong, so he knew in his heart the gap between the two armies of the Song Dynasty.
These young and brave generals alone would be enough for the Emperor of the Song Dynasty to last another thirty years. On the other hand, in the Jin Kingdom, no famous general was in his forties or fifties.
"锵锵锵,,,"
Bi Nian and Wanyan Zhongde fought fiercely for a while. Bi Nian had the upper hand because he was in the prime of fighting, and suppressed Wanyan Zhongde. Wanyan Zhongde could only parry.
At the same time, the entire phalanx of the Jin soldiers was defeated. The Song soldiers chased the Jin soldiers and killed them, but only those who were killed were screaming.
Kaifeng, Imperial Palace, Da'an Hall.
Wanyan Shouxu looked at the ministers and looked around carefully, but he did not see Cui Li.
"Where is Cui Qing's family? Where is he?"
One of Cui Li's confidants came out and said: "Back to Lord Lang, Cui Shijun has not slept for three days and three nights in order to cope with the crisis. His body is extremely weak and exhausted. He even fainted suddenly last night and is currently resting in his mansion."
