In other words, the doubts and waiting of the Zhao Guan family and Nanyang Central Committee did not last long, because the Jin people could not waste too much time. Whether the early raid succeeded or failed, they had to continue to advance, so entering September
In the late autumn, it may be that the follow-up troops of the Jin people gradually and successfully gathered together, and the clues of the main force of the Jin people also appeared one by one.
Among them, the news about Wanyan Lou's room was the first to come.
This Jin Army internally recognized, and probably also recognized by the Song Army as a victorious general of the Jin Army, the most reliable general under Wanyan Nianhan, led the main force of the Jin Army's West Route Army, 50,000, to cross the Yellow River, land at the mouth of the Yanhe River, and go upstream.
, go straight to Yan'an.
The news was delayed for a long time, and the calculated time was not much later than the five-way raid. And according to what Yu Wenxuzhong forwarded to the local manager Wang Shu, Qu Duan of Yan'an Prefecture gave up resistance and directly chose to withdraw.
, it is impossible to say that Yan'an has fallen by this time.
Regarding this, everyone in Zhao Guan's family and the Central Committee could not say anything to accuse him.
After all, the gap in military strength is so big, Wanyan Loushi's record and reputation are there, it is a reasonable choice to avoid frontal combat to preserve strength, not to mention Guanxi and Li Yanxian, Nanyang people have spoken early in the morning, can
There are no additional requirements for how long it takes and how long it can last... So there really is nothing to worry about in Qu Duan's actions.
I am afraid of comparison in everything. Ministers of Zhang Suo's level died for their country, and Xin Daozong, who was previously looked down upon by Zhao Guan's family, died in the Yamen Civil War. As soon as the news came, Qu Duan voluntarily gave up on Yan'an, which made people feel a little sad.
Just comparing.
But again, from the current point of view, I only know that he gave up Yan'an, which actually makes people speechless.
The second general exposed after Wanyan Loushi was a bit surprising, but it was reasonable...but he also belonged to the West Route Army. The so-called Wanyan Yinshu was left behind in Taiyuan.
Due to Li Yanxian's successful counterattack, Wanyan Loushi led the main force of the West Route Army across the river, but it was Shanxi. The military situation in the Hedong area gradually became visible to the Song Army. At this time, everyone knew that Wanyan Yinshu could compete with the Jin Kingdom's West Route Army.
The No. 2 general remained motionless and stationed in Taiyuan.
His presence not only successfully responded to Wanyan Saba's return from defeat, but also caused Li Yanxian's bold strategic plan to abort, and Hedong immediately fell into a deadlock.
So far, the troop configuration of the Jin Army’s West Route Army has basically been roughly determined:
Wanyan Loushi actually assumed the task of commander of the main force, leading 50,000 troops across the Yellow River to sweep Shaanxi;
Wanyan Yinshu could lead 20,000 troops to garrison in Taiyuan (Taiyuan Basin). Wanyan Gushen and Yelu Yujian had unknown troops and garrisoned in Hezhong Mansion (later Linfen area). They worked together to ensure the Jin people's control of the Hedong area in Shanxi while ensuring complete
The back road of Yanlou's room;
Wanyan Saba (Wanyan Seri's younger brother), Wanyan Balisu (Wanyan Yinshuke's younger brother), and Yelu Mawu each led 5,000 to 10,000 troops to participate in the raid.
Up to this point, there may be the sudden rise of Yelu Mawu, the transfer of Yelu Yujian's military power, the unknown strength of Wanyan Gushen, etc. The details are not clear enough, but the layout of the West Route Army has been clearly demonstrated from a strategic point of view.
To keep, there is righteousness and strangeness.
It seems to have been proved once again that the Western Route Army of the Jin Kingdom is still the strongest, most adept at fighting, and the most knowledgeable in strategy and tactics among the Jin people.
Time continued to move forward, and on September 9th, the Double Ninth Festival, as messengers from the Tokyo Remaining Department continued one after another, the rest of the Jin army's layout was completely exposed, and this time it was much simpler.
Prince Wanyan Niaoli Duo, right deputy marshal Wanyan Talan, and marshal Zuo Jianjun, the fourth prince Wanyan Wushu, are all in the area of Daming Mansion, and Wanyan Talan and Wanyan Wushu are all in the area after the follow-up troops arrive.
, immediately divided the troops to cross the river and go south. As soon as they left Puzhou and Zhengzhou, they immediately bypassed Huazhou, where the resistance was the fiercest, and launched a fierce pincer offensive against Tokyo.
"Wanyan Balisu, Yelu Mawu's soldiers and horses should be regarded as the support of the West Route Army to the East Route Army. Counting them at 20,000, then the main force of the 120,000 Jin Army around Tokyo is?!" Recently, it has become more and more popular.
In the bustling military building of the Yushan camp, the Minister of War, Chen Gui, looked grim.
"So what?" Lu Yihao said coldly. "It's just 20,000 more."
"So what about 120,000?" Chen Gui almost laughed angrily. "Prime Minister Lu! Prime Minister Lu! There are 20,000 more Jin people, but we lost Zhang Suo, so we are 20,000 less. One increase and one decrease, isn't it the same as before?"
The two hundred thousand versus one hundred thousand, turned into one hundred and eighty thousand versus one hundred and twenty thousand? It used to be two versus one, but now it's three versus two. This is dangerous enough."
"Wanyan Nianhan and Wanyan Yinliduo will not cross the river. According to the Jin people's fighting habits, they should stop at Daming Mansion and supervise the army in Puyang. Wanyan Yinliduo will withdraw as soon as possible if possible." Hu Hongxiu said.
After a few official beatings, he has become more or less honest, and is now facing each other carefully. "And in order to protect the retreat, Daming Mansion and Puyang area should leave 20,000 to 30,000 people as backup and support."
"Is this what the Privy Council should say when joining the army?" Chen Gui, who was almost sixty years old, immediately spat back. "The Jin people want to keep heavy troops in Daming Mansion to control the Yellow River, so don't Huazhou put troops on guard?"
"Chen Shangshu." Liu Ziyu raised his hands to each other. "What Hu Canjun means is that the matter has come to this point. From the overall situation, we have no troops at all to mobilize."
"Do we have to sit back and watch Tokyo fall to the enemy again? It is the serious capital of the country!" Chen Gui replied angrily. "It shouldn't have been lost during the Jingkang period! It's not like I haven't been to such a big city, with so many soldiers, and the treasury is full.
We lost the supplies and should have kept them!"
"What's the use of talking about Jingkang's past now?" Lu Yihao clasped his hands and sighed, once again standing together with Liu Ziyu, his nominal subordinate. "Chen Shangshu, we all know that you regretted being a diligent king back then, and because you gradually became the world's
It is recognized that people are good at defending the city, and they can know the army, so the regret in their hearts has not diminished. At this time, they wish they could have stayed behind to defend the city of Tokyo... But those of us, who have personally experienced the Jingkang incident, feel that the current situation has changed.
It’s ten times or a hundred times better than during the Jingkang period. At the very least, I didn’t have to suffer for my superiors, and then I was kidnapped by my subordinates and sent to the Jin camp for no reason.” Mobile version::
Chen Gui was slightly startled, and everyone else in the room also fell silent.
However, Lu Yihao continued to clasp his hands and sigh: "What happened in Jingkangzhong means that the country will be destroyed and monsters will appear frequently. All kinds of incidents seemed to make sense when viewed at the time, but now, looking at it from a distance, it seems that
And it feels absolutely ridiculous... Like a father and son quarreling, and brothers fighting against each other, could you have imagined that a decent person like Mr. Yu Wen was involved in it back then? And once caught in this kind of thing, what ridiculous things can't be done? But what about him today?
?”
There was already silence in the house, and everyone from Wang Boyan on down was thinking about it.
"There is also the struggle between the new party and the old party..."
Lu Yihao continued to stand in front of the big case that happened half a month ago and sighed slowly. "It is said that Xianggong Lu in Nanyang City is a three-tiered Xianggong, and Xianggong Xu in Xiangyang City is a multi-tiered Xianggong. But just like Zhang Deyuan was here before Hepan said that during the siege of Jingkangzhong that day, it was these two people who urged Yuan Sheng to change the content of Taixue teachings, pardon Yuanyou party members, and withdraw King Wang Shu from accompanying the sages to worship, so that within the city of Tokyo The people ridiculed me... I am old and can’t remember clearly, so what can I say about the person who came?”
"Report to the Prime Minister."
Wan Qixi, a new member of the Privy Council who had just returned, stepped forward, cupped his hands and smiled. "Xiaguan was in Taixue at that time, and he happened to remember...the saying is that he doesn't care about Taiyuan, but he manages Taixue. He doesn't care about the autumn, but he cares about the Spring and Autumn Period. He doesn't care about artillery. , but in charge of Anshi. Regardless of King Su, but in charge of King Shu. Regardless of Yanshan, but in charge of Nieshan. Regardless of Tokyo, but in charge of Cai Jing. Regardless of the boundaries of Hebei, but in charge of the people who can be elected. Ignore Hedong, but in charge of Chendong. Regardless of Er. The prince, but he manages the prince."
"Yeah, that's it...it's really ridiculous!"
Lu Yihao continued to clasp his hands and sighed again. "There is also the matter of the monster Guo Jing and the matter of the Zongyin monk who was slaughtered before. If you want to make sense, of course it makes sense... Tian Dan is trapped in Jimo, Every time when deciding whether to send troops, one must go to divination to ask about the bad luck, and then win every battle in several battles; even before, when Zong Liu stayed in Hebei, he had to do divination every time he sent out troops, but they all failed... Doesn't this mean the same thing? Is it? The so-called emergency period, the lack of prestige, the so-called ghosts and gods to fool the people below, to reassure the people and soldiers, and to encourage them. But throughout the ages, people have done these things themselves to get themselves involved, but in the end they regard them as life-saving straws. That’s what happened to Jingkangzhong!”
There was complete silence in the military building, but when Lu Yihao said this, he waited for a moment, then suddenly turned around and faced Chen Gui with a sudden change of expression: "Chen Shangshu!"
"Lv Xianggong." Chen Gui was startled and hurriedly faced him with his hands.
"Let me ask you, what is the use of your outburst today?!" Lu Yihao scolded him coldly. "You keep saying what Jingkangzhong is about, but what you do now is different from those in Jingkangzhong who relied on the favor of officials to face disasters. What’s the difference between idlers who do bad things?!”
Chen Gui was dumbfounded and wanted to explain.
"You don't need to say anything." Lu Yihao sneered. "Don't you just think that you have the ability and want to do something? But the officials didn't let you do it? It's just a matter of one Ming Dynasty. After the magistrate of Kezhi County, first the governor of the town, and then the minister of the Ministry of War, one year Changing into a purple robe, how trustworthy is this? You said you would defend the city, but Nanyang is the capital at this time, where the official family and the central government are, aren't they entrusted to you?! Haven't you been gradually transferred to Nanyang City in the past few days? Are you in the army? In the past few months, weren't you allowed to recruit civilians at will to rebuild the city defense? As for the overall military situation on the front line, dozens of people from the Privy Council are eating and lodging in this military camp day and night. We haven't thought of any way Passed? It just lacked a decision. How could it be your turn to question two prime ministers and an entire department?!"
"I'm ashamed of myself." Chen Gui's face turned red and he looked embarrassed.
"You don't have to be ashamed." Lu Yihao continued to clasp his hands and sneer. "If it had been in the past, I would have kicked you out of the court even if I didn't do this. But the officials have determined that Nanyang City will still rely on you in the future, so they I'll leave you alone for the time being and let's see how you guard the city with all your heart."
Chen Gui had no choice but to bow down respectfully, then say goodbye and leave. : :
Moreover, as the saying goes, one thing brings down another, Chen Gui is nearly sixty years old, and he is also the Minister of the Ministry of War... In fact, there are only two ministers in the army at this time who are older than him, have higher official positions than him, and can teach him a lesson. But as Chen Gui was the new favorite of the official family, how could Wang Boyan's temperament offend him? So in the end, he fell into the hands of Lu Yihao, who was known for being harsh and rough.
But it's not a surprise.
But the old rules came and went in a hurry, the noise and arguments in the military building returned to the same as before, and Lu Yihao also closed his eyes and rested his mind as before.
On the other hand, Wang Boyan, who had been silent before, looked at the empty chair at the far end of the big case, frowned slightly, and called out to Wan Qixi in a low voice:
"How long have the officials been out? Who has been accompanying them?"
"I have been out for an hour." Wan Qixi quickly replied respectfully. "I took Mrs. Wu and Vice Commander Liu (Liu Yan) with me. It is said that they saw the weather was very good, so they went to Yushan to climb."
"You're not climbing high, you're making decisions." Wang Boyan sighed and said, "You are young and have good legs. Go to the mountain and wait until the officials come back together."
"Here." Wan Qixi was eager to accept this errand, so he immediately left.
Wang Boyan, looking at Wan Qixi's hurried away figure, shook his head.
