Chapter 1645 The west is not bright, the east is bright
Being prepared for danger in times of peace has always been Li Qi's greatest strength. It cannot be said that he is not satisfied with the status quo, but he always hopes to prevent it from happening in the future. Whether it is success or failure, let the past be in the past. His eyes are always moving forward.
look.
Clearly, his worries were not mundane.
Wanyan Zongwang, who had absolute initiative, took the lead in igniting the war in the eastern Karakhanid Dynasty.
He broke his army into pieces and divided his troops into three groups to attack the northern side of the Karakhanid Dynasty in the east.
These Jin soldiers marched westward and gained a lot. However, they had not even fought a single battle and were almost exhausted. Their muscles were swollen. Now Wanyan Zongwang finally gave them a chance to vent. The whole Jin army was
I was so excited that I was like a tiger coming out of the gate, unstoppable.
The three Jin armies marched straight in, as if they were in an uninhabited country.
In fact, the Karakhanids in the east were originally a Turkic nation, and they were also brave and good at fighting. If the Karakhanids were at their peak, the Jin Army might not be able to defeat these powerful nomads.
However, now the Karakhanid Dynasty has split into two countries. These two countries have been at constant war, but no one can rule the other. Not only that, wars often develop within these two countries.
For example, this time the rebellion of the Geluolu tribe caused the imperial court to invite Yelu Dashi from outside to help quell the rebellion. The extent of this can be seen.
This long-term consumption, coupled with the recent civil strife, has exhausted the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty. What is terrible is that their emperor only ascended the throne last year and is very young, which undoubtedly makes things worse.
Although the Jin army came from afar, the soldiers were full of energy because they had not fought and had rested for a long time.
And in the world today, the Golden** team is the strongest.
All kinds of reasons were put together. Therefore, in this battle, the army of the Eastern Karakhanids was retreating steadily.
Wanyan Zongwang specially ordered that this attack should not be based on siege of cities and land, but on harassment. The harassment tactics of the Jin army were burning, killing and looting, because their military system was like this. In the early days of the founding of the country,
They don't even have military pay. The soldiers rely on grabbing money on the battlefield.
Although there is a regular army now, military pay is not much, just a little, and only the most elite troops enjoy this treatment. This is mainly because the three giants Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Xiyin believe that once the military pay system is implemented,
That would affect the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, because they all understood that a war with the Song Dynasty was inevitable, and it was not the time to relax yet.
Due to the trade policy of the Song Dynasty, the economy of the Western Regions was also boosted. A large amount of goods poured into the markets of the Western Regions. When the Jin Army entered, it was like a mouse in a rice vat.
It can be said that wherever you go, there is no grass growing.
All the people moved to the Uighurs and were sold to local tycoons at slave prices. All the goods and property were collected.
The soldiers of the Jin army became more and more excited and couldn't stop at all.
Wanyan Zongwang is quite relaxed, since he is for you to grab anyway. There is no need to arrange any tactics. If you can beat you, then fight. If you can't, then retreat. You can advance and retreat freely, and come and go with ease.
This tactic is the Jin Army's favorite tactic, and it is also the tactic they are best at, and they fight with great success.
...
On the east bank of the Tarim River, Wu Jie's big tent.
The Jin army made such a big noise, and the Song army also heard about it, but no matter how powerful Wu Jie was, he could only sit in the tent and worry.
The key is the geographical location.
If the Song army wants to intervene, it must pass through Shule, unless you go back to Uighur, but this is impossible because Shule is stuck on this pass. From where they are now, there is such a road heading north.
.
And this pass is controlled by the fourth force Yelu Dashi. The relationship between Yelu Dashi and the Song Dynasty is very subtle. Privately, the two parties can be said to be allies, but on the surface they are enemies, because everyone knows that Yelu Dashi is
The Jin Kingdom has always been a wanted target. As an ally of the Jin Kingdom, it is impossible for Song Dynasty to get together with the enemies of the Jin Kingdom, at least on the surface, you have to make a show of it.
If Yelu Dashi let the Song army pass, the Jin Kingdom would definitely not give up.
Unless you fight it, it is inconsistent with the Song Dynasty's strategy.
The most important thing is that Yelu Dashi may not be able to protect himself. Wherever he dares to send troops to attack the Jin army, Wanyan Zongwang may be waiting for you when Yelu Dashi goes out. As long as he stays away from Shule, the Jin army will not be intimidated by the Song army.
.
what to do?
Wu Jie was also furious. He felt that he had nowhere to use his energy. He scolded the 18th Congress of Yelu Dashi's ancestors in his heart. If he hadn't stepped in, the muddy water would not have become so muddy. It was simply a mess.
In the swamp, whoever enters will die. He swept his eyes and said, "Now that the Jin army has been dispatched and looting north of Shule, how should we respond?"
The soldiers were silent for a while.
This is completely incomprehensible!
Because we couldn't pass Shule, we could only watch them play.
Wu Jie looked worried and asked Zhuang Xiang again: "Mr. Zhuang, do you have any countermeasures?"
"I can't think of a way. Wanyan Zongwang is indeed well-deserved." Zhuang Xiang shook his head and frowned: "But did the general feel that there was something strange about the Jin Army's attack?"
Wu Jie snorted and said, "Why did you say this, sir?"
Zhuang Xiang said: "According to the information gathered by Yelu Dashi and the spies, the Jin army fought for so long and did not occupy a single city, nor did they enter the hinterland of the Eastern Karakhan Dynasty. Their army was divided into three groups, and they moved in a circuitous way.
Just like those robbers, they just run away after robbing. I don't believe that Wanyan Zongwang came all the way here just to rob some property."
Wu Jie frowned and thought for a long time, then said: "Then what does Mr. Zhuang think Jin Jun's purpose is for doing this?"
Zhuang Xiang said: "I'm not sure about this, but I guess that Wanyan Zongwang didn't really want to conquer the Eastern Karahan Dynasty with force, but was putting pressure on the Eastern Karahan Dynasty to expel Yelu Dashi. In fact, the Eastern Karahan Dynasty was
The relationship between the Karakhanids and the Yelu Dashi is only average. If the Eastern Karakhanids join forces with the Jin Army, the Jin Army can allow the Eastern Karakhanids to send troops to conquer the Yelu Dashi, and the Jin Army can hide behind the Eastern Karakhanids.
Just wait and see what happens, we won’t move or we won’t move. In this way, the deadlock in Shule will be broken."
Wu Jie was horrified when he heard this, and thought to himself, as expected of the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, this move was really cruel and vicious. He hurriedly asked: "Does Mr. Zhuang have any countermeasures?"
Zhuang Xiang shook his head and said, "I am also helpless."
"What should we do?"
Zhuang Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "General, this matter seems to be caused by the war, but I think it is more of a political reason that cannot be solved by us. I think the general should inform the emperor and the Privy Council about this matter as soon as possible.
, waiting for the emperor’s decision.”
Wu Jie thought for a long time, nodded and said, "Just do as Mr. said."
What he is good at is fighting, but the problem is that Yelu Dashi blocks the front, making them unable to fight and unable to move. Anyway, there are no human beings on the left and right, so they can only leave the problem to the capital.
.......
.......
The west side is not bright, but the east side is bright.
Niugao led the Laizhou Navy to land at the Kaga Port in Hokurikudo, Japan. This Kaga became Ishikawa Prefecture in later Japan, which was also the last base camp of the Taira clan. Once Kaga Prefecture was lost, the Taira clan was basically finished.
In fact, in the early stages, the main force of the Taira clan was in the Kanto region and Mie County near Kinai, which was on the east side of Japan. However, due to trade with the Song Dynasty, their power in Hokuriku developed extremely rapidly, and their status and reputation were far-reaching.
After defeating the Emperor and losing Kanto and Mie Prefectures, the Taira clan had no choice but to retreat to Hokuriku and hold on to this last position.
At the beginning, the Genji took advantage of the high morale and fought all the way to the northwest. They had already reached the Kaga border. The Taira clan was already on the verge of despair. It can be said that if Li Qi had not agreed to Tenki Miki's request, then the Taira clan would have
If there is no way to escape, he may have no choice but to sail overseas. After all, he has a boat.
However, the arrival of the Song army and the large amount of military supplies brought from Goryeo immediately helped the Ping family stabilize the morale of the army, and the Ping family took advantage of the situation and sounded the clarion call for counterattack.
The troops were divided into two groups and went straight to Echizen and Echichu. The Hokurikudo was basically divided into Echizen, Echichu, and Echigo. Echizen was Fukui Prefecture in later generations, Echichu was Fukuyama Prefecture, and Echigo was Niigata Prefecture.
Niugao marched all the way to Yuezhong, while the main force of the Ping family marched to Yueqian.
This was arranged by the head of the Taira family, Taira Tadamasa, and Niu Gao had no objection, because Echizen was relatively close to Kyoto Prefecture, the capital of Japan, and the main force of the Genji was also located. This precaution was indispensable, and Taira Tadamasa did not want the Song army to leave Kyoto Prefecture.
It's relatively close. If Niu Gao accidentally hits Kyoto Prefecture, the matter will become more delicate.
Niu Gao didn't care, because the main force of Genji was in Echizen, and most of the troops in Echizen were soldiers from the Kanto region. The number of troops he brought this time was limited, and supplies were difficult. In the initial stage, Niu Gao also wanted to collect troops.
Hit.
Genji did not expect that the Song army would come to rescue them, and Japan had basically never fought with the Central Plains countries before. In addition, the court's policy of isolation from the country meant that they knew very little about the Song army, and the one they knew best was the Ping clan.
Therefore, as soon as the Song army arrived, they relied on new-style firearms to defeat the Yuanji army in the central Yue area. They quickly regained control of Yuezhong and drove the Yuanji army out.
Over there, Taira Tadashi freed up his hands and feet, and immediately gathered all the main forces to launch a fierce attack on the main force of Echizen Genji. You must know that this evil spirit almost killed Taira Tadashi. It was a desperate attack, even if the Song Army saw it,
I also secretly marveled at how fierce the Japanese were in fighting.
Genji was immediately stunned. He hurriedly retreated to the Kinai area, consolidated the defense line, and switched from offense to defense. He stabilized himself first and avoided his sharp edge. Taira was already dying. Now if he faced him head-on, then
It's really unwise.
The Taira clan also successfully recaptured most of Echizen.
