The first thousand eight hundred and seventy-ninth chapters
Just when Xixia was launching a massive counterattack, the Song Dynasty Group was also engaged in a fierce discussion. [ads: This site has a new website address, shorthand method: strawberry,]
Whether to continue the attack and destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop?
This younger generation of generals, such as Zhe Yanye, Zhe Yanzhi, Liu Qi, Yang Zaixing and others, have requested orders to continue the attack and eliminate the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop. Wanyan Zonghan is dead and Wanyan Zongwang is also half-dead. This is a God-given opportunity. We should march as soon as possible.
yes.
However, the older generation of generals like Zhang Shuye, Liu Kai and others among the masters held a conservative attitude and felt that it was enough to fight here.
Only the Privy Councilor Li Qi remained silent.
Zhao Kai knew this guy's character and took the initiative to ask Li Qi: "Privy Councilor, what do you think?"
Li Qi said slowly: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the Battle of Gaoliang River?"
Zhao Kai frowned slightly and said, "You also think we shouldn't attack?"
After Taizong destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he immediately sent troops to Yanyun, hoping to recapture Yanyun in one fell swoop. However, almost everyone in the dynasty opposed it because this army had just experienced a hard battle and captured the Northern Han Dynasty. It was physically and mentally exhausted, and
The soldiers were all waiting for rewards, but you attacked rashly with your exhausted troops, which violated a military taboo. However, Taizong refused to listen and decided to send troops, which resulted in the tragic defeat at Gaolianghe.
Li Qi said: "Your Majesty, if we attack, how long do you think it will take to destroy the Kingdom of Jin?"
Zhao Kai was silent, he was really not sure about this.
Li Qi added: "Although we have ten years of reserves, once the war continues, no one can predict when the Jin Kingdom will be wiped out. Once the reserves are exhausted, what will the Emperor plan to do? Retreat? If the Jin Kingdom retreats,
The army will definitely counterattack when the time comes, and our army will be in a dilemma. Don't retreat? Then we can only collect military rations from the people. This will undoubtedly greatly increase the burden on the people in the country, and our ten years of reforms will also be ruined. Since
The opportunity we had planned earlier was to regain Yanyun, so we should stop it and not fight this unprepared war."
The great benefit of the country is not to eliminate people. It is not to capture how much land and population. The great benefit of the country is the people. No reason is an excuse to exploit the people, especially in today's Song Dynasty. Once taxes start to increase again, the new law will
It collapsed in an instant, because the basis of the new law was based on a good economic operating environment.
Zongze nodded and said: "What the privy envoy said is very reasonable. Although this battle severely damaged the Kingdom of Jin, a dead camel is bigger than a horse. There are still heavy troops in the Kingdom of Jin. If we raise an army of 300,000 to suppress the border, the more we go
Going north, supplies will become more and more difficult. Now the granaries in the Yanyun area have bottomed out. Our grain and grass are all transported from the far south of the Yangtze River. Therefore, I do not agree with forcibly sending troops to conquer the Jin Kingdom. We should now consolidate Yanyun.
Yun's defense prevents the Jin army from counterattacking."
You have to cross most of the Northeast Plains from here to Beijing. Your chariots move slowly, and the opponent's cavalry is so fast. Once your supplies are robbed, your convoy will be completely destroyed. This is very scary to think about.
Danger.
Zhang Jun also said: "It's hot in summer, and the soldiers don't want to continue fighting. It's not appropriate to fight anymore."
When Zheyane and others heard that both Li Qi and Zongze were opposed to continuing the war, they naturally couldn't say anything because they were not of a high enough level to compete with Li Qi.
Zhao Kai frowned and said, "But the Kingdom of Jin has always been a serious concern for us."
What he said also revealed that he still wanted to continue sending troops.
Li Qi smiled and said: "Your Majesty, although it seems now that we should take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, otherwise, the Jin Kingdom has suffered such a heavy blow when the country is not yet completely stable. It will definitely not be able to recover for a while, and we
The foundation of the Song Dynasty has not been shaken. Our domestic construction is advancing with each passing day. Now that we have captured the defense of the Great Wall, we no longer have such worries. If we use a great victory to promote domestic development, it will definitely accelerate the growth of our national power in the Song Dynasty. As time goes by,
Delaying, the more beneficial it is to us. This Jin Kingdom is the Shu Kingdom at the end of the Three Kingdoms. Why Zhuge Liang wanted to attack Wei with force at that time? That is because he knew that if he delayed any longer, he would be waiting for death. I predict that the Jin Kingdom will definitely follow the footsteps of the Shu Kingdom. They
Seeing that our national strength is getting stronger and stronger, we will definitely raise our troops to attack again. Then we can wait and work, defend and counterattack, and destroy the Jin Kingdom in one fell swoop.
Therefore, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The Jin Kingdom was defeated by us at what it is best at, and it is already doomed that it will not be far from subjugation. In addition, the situation of Xixia, Yelu Dashi, and Goryeo is unknown. We should wait and see how it changes and formulate plans accordingly.
A strategy that benefits our country."
These words were not long, but they also laid the foundation for the Song Dynasty's future strategy towards the Jin Kingdom.
Zhao Kai said: "But what if the Kingdom of Jin refuses to give up?"
Li Qidao: "Then they are destroying themselves, but I believe that the Kingdom of Jin will not do such a thing."
Zhao Kai nodded slightly and said: "Okay then, reward the three armies immediately and consolidate Yanyun's defense. As for Wu Jie, Wu Lin's Zhenxi Army and Zhennan Army will continue to be on standby for the time being. After all, Xixia is still at war with the Jin Kingdom.
, and there is Yelu Dashi to the west. In addition, the news of the recovery of Yunzhou should be sent to Bianliang as soon as possible."
"I obey your orders."
Although the Yanyun War has been declared over, it does not mean that the war is over. Although the Jin Kingdom suffered two major defeats in the south and its military power suffered an unprecedented blow, it achieved great successes in both the east and west.
win.
Because Goryeo was deceived by Yue Fei, it claimed that a hundred thousand troops crossed the Yalu River to attack the Kingdom of Jin. At the beginning, the Kingdom of Jin was indeed caught off guard. It defeated the Jin army in Changbai Mountain and went all the way north. It almost reached the Jin Kingdom in Beijing.
They were at the border area, but right here, they were suddenly attacked from two sides by Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongpan.
Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zongfu had just suffered a big defeat at the hands of Yue Fei. They watched Yue Fei's army leave safely. They were worried that they had no place to vent their anger. Gao Li happened to hit the muzzle of the gun. Gao Li's wishful thinking.
Make a noise. Now the main force of the Jin army has gone to fight the Song army. I, the fisherman, have benefited and picked up a ready-made one. If we, Goryeo, occupy the land of Shangjing and Bohai, then our strength will be as strong as that of the great powers of the Central Plains.
Higher and lower.
However, nothing in the world is so cheap.
At this time, Yue Fei had already gone back, and Yue Fei's arrival led all the Jin armies to this place, a total of 150,000 King Qin's army, which was 100,000 more than the number of people claimed by Goryeo.
The two sides launched a decisive battle on the plain north of the upper reaches of the Songwa River.
As a result, under the two-sided attack of Wanyan Zongfu and Wanyan Zongpan, the Goryeo army was defeated. One hundred thousand troops were wiped out, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Their king, just like Zhao Taizong, fled back to the country on a donkey cart.
Wanyan Zongpan still refused to give up. You, a little Goryeo, dared to pluck the hair from a tiger's head. He chased and fought fiercely all the way, recaptured Changbai Mountain in one fell swoop, and fought all the way to the edge of the Yalu River. When he was about to cross the river and completely wipe out Goryeo, Yan
The war in Yun spread to Shangjing. The armies of Zongwang and Zonghan were completely wiped out. Zonghan was pierced by thousands of arrows and died. Xixia was launching a massive counterattack, so Shangjing immediately ordered Zongpan to stop the pursuit and return to Dading.
We must not let the Song and Xia coalition forces break through the defense line of Linhuang Mansion, Dading Mansion, and Pingzhou. Goryeo is already on its last legs and can be destroyed at any time. First, stop the two big tigers in front.
Wanyan Zongpan then gave up, and he and Wanyan Zongfu each led 30,000 elite troops and went south in two directions.
In the far west, Jeyelü Dashi, a generation of men, led the Khitan warriors into the pass. They were unstoppable. They captured Heishui City in one fell swoop and wiped out the Jin army in Heishui City. Yelu Dashi planned to use Heishui City as a base to continue the Eastern Expedition. However, this time
Just after leaving Blackwater City, they met Wanyan Xiyin's 10,000-strong army. On one side was the army that had just been defeated, and on the other was the army that had just won a great victory. Moreover, the Khitan warriors came with the idea of revenge.
When I saw Wanyan Xiyin, my enemies were extremely jealous when they met. It was you who used all your tricks to kill countless of my compatriots. You all took the lead and defeated Wanyan Xiyin in one fell swoop.
Wanyan Xiyin was a more feminine person, and he would run away if he couldn't be beaten. He would flee to the east.
Yelu Dashi was not willing to let Wanyan Xiyin go, so he led his troops to pursue him.
After chasing for two days and nights, they were about to catch up with Wanyan Xiyin. Suddenly, a large army from the north rushed down and cut off Yelu Dashi's troops. When he saw Yelu Dashi, he turned out to be men from the Kele tribe of the grassland tribe.
In fact, if Wanyan Xiyin had sent back the reinforcements with all his strength at that time, he should have been able to arrive before Yelu Dashi captured Heishui City. However, he was not in a hurry to return the reinforcements. He quickly ran to the Kelie tribe above Xixia and said that if you send troops
Help us eliminate the Yelu Dashi. Our Emperor of the Jin Empire grants you the title of king, which means making you king, because the grassland peoples do not have an orthodoxy and generally rely on the northern powers. It used to be the Liao Kingdom and now it is the Jin Kingdom.
Recognition and support are very important to them. I think Genghis Khan also accepted the canonization of the Jin Kingdom. Not only that, Wanyan Xiyin also promised to give Blackwater City, including its gold, silver, treasures, people and livestock to you.
This title is only secondary, Blackwater City is the key, because the Kled Tribe and the Naiman Tribe to the west are sworn enemies, but the Naiman Tribe is stronger than the Kled Tribe. If the Kled Tribe captures Blackwater City, then it can control it.
For the Naiman tribe's strategic advantage, they can directly send troops from Blackwater City to attack the Naiman tribe. Blackwater City is a strategic location, so the Kelie tribe agreed to Wanyan Xiyin and was willing to send 20,000 elite troops to help Wanyan
Xiyin destroyed Yelu Dashi.
The two parties have agreed to lead the Yelu Rock here, and you will ambush the Yelu Rock.
Yelv Dashi was already blinded by hatred at that time. He forgot that Wanyan Xiyin was a scheming guy, and he did not expect that the Kelie tribe would send troops. He thought that these Mongolian tribes were heading towards Daliao, and he was in front of them.
The Klei tribe also helped him when he fled, but Daliao has been gone for more than ten years. Except for the Khitan people, no one remembers you, Daliao.
As a result, Yelu Dashi was ambushed by the Kelie tribe and Wanyan Xiyin's counterattack, and he was defeated and fled.
Wanyan Xiyin will not let go of Yelu Dashi. This time I blocked you. If I don't block you next time, once you enter our territory of Dajin, the Khitan people will definitely raise their troops to respond to you. This is much scarier than the Song Dynasty.
, so Wanyan Xiyin made up his mind to kill Yelu Dashi.
However, Yelu Dashi was a great hero. Thinking about dozens of people around him, they managed to escape the Jin Kingdom's pursuit, and fled across the Asian continent, from the easternmost point of Asia to the westernmost point of Asia. This road can be compared with
The Silk Road is comparable to that, so when it comes to his ability to escape, Yelu Dashi really has never been afraid of anyone. Moreover, when he escaped, he was very familiar with the terrain in this area.
Wanyan Xiyin chased for ten days, but still did not catch Yelu Dashi. He wanted to continue chasing, but the soldiers of the Kelie tribe refused to pursue him. Yelu Dashi was too good at running away. Am I chasing people or are I still chasing him?
Chase the sun.
If they didn't pursue them, how could Wanyan Xiyin dare to continue chasing with such a small number of men? However, Wanyan Xiyin kept his promise and gave Blackwater City to the Klei tribe. In fact, Wanyan Xiyin was a bit similar to Li Qi, so he gave it away.
The gifts are all poisonous.
The Jin Kingdom's Western Expedition failed, and it was impossible to control Blackwater City. However, Blackwater City was originally an important town of Xixia and was very crucial. Therefore, Wanyan Xiyin predicted that Xixia would definitely seize this city, and then there would be a conflict with the Kelie tribe.
Conflict, in this way, can ease Xixia's offensive against the Jin Kingdom. The Kelie tribe has no idea about the current situation. In terms of these conspiracies, they are no match for Wanyan Xiyin, and they are very happy. (To be completed.)
