Chapter 1512 Hedong, Shandong, Liaodong, three fronts
"The soldiers and horses on the west route of the Jin Army are also a tired division that has penetrated deep alone. If the layout is careful and the superior forces are gathered, it may not be impossible to encircle and annihilate the enemy, but..."
While Xiao Tang was thinking, he heard Zhongshi Dao speak in a deep voice again. Seeing the worried look on his face, the leader of the Western Army, Xiao Tang knew that because Bianjing City was about to be destroyed, even though he was already old and weak, Zhongshi Dao could not
He had no choice but to go out again and use his last strength to gather troops and horses to rescue King Qin. However, the old Mr. Zhong was old after all. In his current state, he was probably not suitable to lead another expedition to aid Hedong.
Zhong Shidao's younger brother, Xiao Zhong Xianggong Zhong Shizhong, is actually in his seventies. The two Zhong brothers, who now try to control the power of the Western Army, risked their old bodies to fight against the national calamity together, but it was a pity that they could not follow their original trajectory.
Death with regret, a battlefield of hatred, could not save the life of the Northern Song Dynasty. In addition to the unstoppable Jin army, the Song Dynasty internal interference in the general's use of troops, and the Song army's chief generals still had their own thoughts...
.In the end, we still have to let the foreign invaders sit back and enjoy the success.
Xiao Tang sighed secretly, and then asked Zhong Shidao: "Old Mr. Zhong, the war situation in Hedong is urgent. What are the officials' plans?"
Zhong Shidao, an elderly man who was more than seventy years old, seemed to have a worried look on his face after hearing Xiao Tang's question, and then said: "Now because the soldiers and horses on the East Road of the Jin Kingdom were defeated by the rebel soldiers and horses led by you, Your Majesty
Listening to the advice of Xu Han and other court officials, I also taught the old man to urge the division to advance troops to break the siege of Taiyuan... He also blamed the generals who rushed to aid Hedong to take charge of heavy troops, were afraid of the enemy's lingering, and allowed the Jin army to leave without thinking about peace and tranquility for the people.
The captives caused chaos in the east of Hedong...and the commander of the division, together with Yao Gu, Zhang Hao and other troops, marched quickly to repel the Jin army and pacify Hedong as soon as possible."
Xiao Tang couldn't help but snorted coldly when he heard this, and said to himself that the only thing that Zhao Huan was even more stupid than his father, Zhao Ji, was that when the Jin army's soldiers and horses came to him, he was not only scared to death, but also had to accept all the unreasonable conditions offered by the other party.
, tend to be spontaneous and capricious, and when the situation is slightly stable, they are often instigated by courtiers to intervene in the battle arrangements of the generals who lead the army. When the two Song Dynasties overlapped, most of the peace advocates in the court were cowards and fearful of trouble, but they were the war advocates.
Many of his ministers were too radical. Zhao Huan was also a confused emperor who thought out everything. He was timid and incompetent when he believed in the main war faction. Sometimes he was influenced by the main war faction and wanted to interfere unrealistically in unifying the army.
A general uses his troops.
According to the original trajectory, the imperial court was eager to urge Zhong Shizhong to advance troops, and also blamed him for holding heavy troops but being afraid to fight. After receiving the imperial edict, Zhong Shizhong, who was ambitious, had no choice but to abandon his baggage and food and lead the troops he led.
The soldiers and horses set off lightly, so they had no choice but to make an agreement that the two armies of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao would advance in separate directions and coordinate with each other. As a result, the two armies of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao hesitated to move forward and failed to meet up with the troops and horses in the division as agreed, which not only resulted in
Xianggong Xiaozhong was defeated and died in battle, which also led to the complete defeat of the Song army on the Hedong front...
Xiao Tang looked at Zhong Shidao, who had a desolate and sad face, and lamented that this old man, who had worked hard all his life for the country, was still working hard to preside over the strategies to protect the country and the people and resist foreign humiliation, even if his oil was exhausted.
, but as a court official of the Song Dynasty, whether it was Quan Tongguan who deliberately interfered with the military power of the Western Army at that time, or a court official who ordered to interfere in the military affairs of the Western Army, Lao Zhong still had too much helplessness, even if he could estimate the fate of the people in Hedong
The reckless advance of the army on the road will lead to serious consequences, but they have to be restrained by the emperor and the court...
However, although Mr. Xiaozhong, a highly respected military commander in the Western Army, could only be constrained by the imperial court, Xiao Tang knew that he no longer had to look at the face and actions of that confused king. After all these years,
They deliberately gathered many heroes in order to reverse the tragedies of blood and tears that Zhizhi people lamented in official history. Wanyan Oulibu and other initiators of Jingkang's shame have all been executed, and Wanyan Nianhan is the leader.
How could the Jin Kingdom's West Road army allow those guys to continue to wreak havoc on Hedong Road?
Xiao Tang made up his mind and immediately made his plans clear to Mr. Zhong...
Since it is very likely that the Jin Kingdom will still send its troops southward to invade from the east and west directions, Xiao Tang decided to personally cooperate with Yan Qing, Zhu Wu and other confidant leaders to lead the mad demon, Xiongwu, Hengchong, Cuchi, Tianbo, etc.
Twelve armies of Qilin, Piyong, Breaking Formation, Lieyong, Dangqi, Panlong, and Mandrill, as well as leaders such as Ma Ling, Qiao Daoqing, Fan Rui, Chang Boda, and Shi Qian followed the army and rushed to Hedong to assist Taiyuan Prefecture; Xiao Jiasui was then mobilized.
Liu Fa commanded the formation, Wurui, Jinqiang, Gangyi, Xiaozhi, Xiongjie, Feijie, Longxiang, Huyi, Tianxiong, Benlei, Weibian twelve branches marched around Heshuo, and deployed defense lines in the Shandong area.
The Jin army may march south from Yanyun in Hebei at any time; Mr. Jin Jian Li Zhu is in charge of Bu Dou, Bu Jie and the two armies are guarding Erlong Mountain Dazhai.
The other troops and other ministerial leaders in the village guarded Liangshan, Shuibo; the three men of the Ruan family led the navy to patrol the harbor pass in the Heshuo area, and coordinated the defense of Henan and the horse infantry on the front line of Shandong to resist the Jin army.
"The younger generation believes that the east of Hedong is located in the west of Taihang. The mountains are dangerous and difficult to defend, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is also a battleground between the mountains and rivers, and the military strategists in the Pinghan Central Plains must not allow any loss. Therefore, because of the bravery of all the people under my command,
On the one hand, the two armies of the Forbidden Army consolidated the defense of Heshuo River, and on the other hand, they used their elite troops to advance to the east of the river to recapture the fallen frontline towns. This could also cut off the escape route and trap the Jin army in the land east of the river. When the time comes, they can gather together to attack Miannian.
With the troops under Han’s command, this is a great opportunity to counterattack the Northern Expedition..."
Xiao Tang's words were encouraging, and he spoke to Zhongshi Dao. Zhang Shuye and others said: "The Jurchen Tartars have invaded the entire Liao Dynasty not long ago. If their rampant momentum can be thwarted in one fell swoop, the whole country will be shocked. At first,
The people of all ethnic groups in the north who have surrendered and obeyed will inevitably become uneasy again... On the banks of the Yalu River in Liaodong, the juniors of Bao, Ding, and Xuan prefectures have already deployed heavy troops to guard them, and there are even tens of thousands of Khitans who are unwilling to submit to the Jin Kingdom.
, Xi tribe, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in the Bohai Sea.
First try to protect the land east of Hedong. When you have no worries later, you can go from west to east and from south to north to regain the two prefectures in Hebei. Then you can plot the land of Yanyun, and then launch surprise troops from Liaodong to disrupt the revitalization of the Jurchen tribes.
In the place of prosperity, if the Jin army diverts its troops eastward and westward, focusing on one thing and neglecting the other, it will be able to put an end to the Jin people's troubles and restore peace to the people of the world!"
The old Mr. Zhong just stared at Xiao Tang quietly. Although the old man was already in his twilight years, his eyes were still bright. He also knew very well that he and the Mr. Zhong were already old, and the nephews and nephews of the Zhong family
Lack of outstanding military talents, he had been fighting secretly with the powerful eunuch Tong Guanming for many years, and had been struggling to control the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty. After the defeat of Yanyun, the Jin army was seriously injured after entering the invaders, and the only remaining good warriors were divided.
It is torn apart... It is extremely difficult to fight against the powerful Jin army with only oneself's painstaking efforts. What's more, as a military minister of the Song Dynasty, he must be wary of the suspicion of the court and still have to be affected by those officials and officials.
Those high-ranking civil servants and officials were restrained and painstakingly planned, but any important official in the court who knew a little bit about military affairs could arbitrarily veto his own layout plan. How could he unify the army to resist foreign humiliation?
However, Xiao Tang's proposal was not only in line with his own plan, but also Xianggong Lao Zhong knew very well that the rebel armies he commanded would not be constrained by the imperial court. In times of national calamity, such a dangerous situation, such as the sky and the earth falling, should be taken seriously.
Only if Xiao Tang is willing to personally lead the rebel army to the east of Hedong can we maintain the barrier of the Central Plains, and then carry out the Northern Expedition to conquer the captives, and restore the world's hope of peace...
Little friend Xiaotang, as for what you will do in the future, I’m afraid I can’t see it, but at least you have not let down hundreds of millions of people in the world... Zhong Shidao thought with emotion in his heart, but he was light-hearted.
He nodded lightly and sighed to Xiao Tang: "This plan is exactly what I want. Only if I am willing to personally lead the army to rescue and protect Taiyuan and even the entire Hedong region, will I have more confidence... How?
Leading the righteous bravery to march forward, holding back the heavens, and resisting foreign enemies outside the country... I will all rely on you."
