"Why are you so far away, are you afraid that I will eat you? It doesn't matter, this matter is none of your business after all, and you are exempted from joining the army, so go down!"
Unexpectedly, the fourth prince Jin Wushu, who was defrauded of a pile of gold and silver, did not get angry and kill anyone, or at least he did not vent his anger on poor Shi Wenbin to join the army. This actually made the latter burst into tears of gratitude and leave in a hurry.
However, after Shi Wenbin left, Captain Zhang played a trick on the fourth prince like a borrowed arrow, and then rewarded the whole city. It became an established fact that he was determined to defend Cai... At this time, no matter what, Jin, whose strategy of persuading him to surrender failed,
Wushu had to continue to make strategic decisions. Therefore, in the evening of that day, Jin Wushu quickly closed the military tent with the two captains of ten thousand who came after hearing the news, and discussed military strategy again.
"Fourth Prince, now that things have happened, should we continue to raise the pontoon bridge to prepare to cross the Huaihe River, or should we make up our mind to attack the city instead?"
Moreover, among the two captains of ten thousand men, Lu Bu was the more rude person, and he did not pay much attention to money matters. Moreover, because of the debt contract promised by Jin Wushu before, he became less and less responsive to this matter, so
, he saw that Jin Wushu didn't speak for a long time, so he simply asked directly. "I would like to teach the fourth prince to know that our military strength is limited after all. The people of the Song Dynasty have taken away many civilians from Shouzhou and Huaibei. If they want to attack the city, they will
We can’t be half-hearted anymore!”
Jin Wushu, who had always had a dark face, forced a smile, but then looked at Ali: "What do you think, General Ali?"
"I haven't changed since the beginning!" Perhaps because of the debt risk issue, Ali, who was usually a bit cautious, couldn't help but stare at the fourth prince when he spoke. "It's not like we Jurchens have no rules when fighting... When we encounter this kind of
In this situation, you should concentrate on preparing to attack the city from the beginning. If you fail to persuade them to surrender, it is not a big deal and you will be deceived. Next, prepare to climb the city! If you fail to climb the city, prepare to attack the city with cannons, smash the city walls, and fill in the ditches.
Just send the elite to fight in! Take this big city right in front of you and then think about crossing the river!"
Jin Wushu shook his head repeatedly: "That was in the past, but this time we went deep alone, and we only came for Emperor Zhao and Song. There is no need to waste our military power on this kind of city..."
"But this city is so important that we can't ignore it, so I thought of opportunistic measures and fell into other people's schemes." Ali said coldly. "When I was outside a few days ago, the Fourth Prince always thought I was verbose.
But today the three of us are having a serious military discussion in the handsome tent. According to the rules of our Jurchens, we can say anything. When we go out to plaster, we have to forget about the disputes in the tent. Maybe I have spoken?"
Jin Wushu took a long breath, but could only nod with all his strength.
By the way, Ali’s rules have their own meaning.
According to the Jurchen tradition, whenever military strategy is discussed before a war, as long as they can enter the commander's tent to participate in such core military discussions, everyone can sit around and talk freely, regardless of status, and point fingers at the dust in front of them, which is similar to a sand table.
, and no matter how lowly a person is, he can argue with the coach face to face; of course, the coach still retains the right to make decisions...
These are nothing, and the essence of this rule is actually to follow the rules in the end. After the final strategy is decided, everyone must smooth the dust in front of them with their hands, which means to cancel the dispute in the account.
Then everyone will go all out to implement the military plan according to the final decision!
In the future, no matter what the outcome of the war is, no one is allowed to hold anyone accountable for anything that happened in the military tent or for any words!
This is of course also a simple style left over from the Jurchen tribal alliance period.
Back in front of us, Ali, who had the right to speak, was unscrupulous:
"Fourth Prince, I am not specifically mocking you, nor am I forcing you to attack the city. You are the commander-in-chief, and you have the final say. Today I will only give you two opinions on military strategy, and one piece of advice to you.
!”
"Tell me!"
"The first thing in military strategy, as I just said, is why we should fight this battle steadily? Attack the city first, and then talk about Huainan after it is captured. Don't just talk about the affairs of Huainan just because some official is sitting on that mountain in Henan.
Eager for quick success!"
"Aren't there two in terms of military strategy?" Jin Wushu became more and more irritated. "Where is the other one?"
"The other thing is that I have the same idea as General Zhenlubu. Please stop being distracted by the fourth prince!" Ali continued to point fingers wantonly. "We have more than 20,000 people coming out this time. After the three fierce sentry cavalry are sent out,
, basically 20,000 people. Nowadays, a 10,000-person household with 10,000 people is not bad, but it is still the same as in the past. There are only five or six Muke (hundred-man team, 100-man team) in a Meng'an (Thousand-man team, Thousand-man team).
Centurion), the rest of the vacancies were mostly filled by the newly surrendered Han people, and even the serious Mukeli are no better than before. The Xi people and Khitan people have all joined in, so the military strength and combat power are actually insufficient... So relying on
I think, since the city is still separated from Henan, then don’t think about crossing the river when attacking the city! Don’t think about attacking the city when crossing the river! This is just like hunting in Liaodong in the past, with only a bow in hand, but at the same time there are elk and fox in front of you
, I thought about taking off both of them at the same time, but there is probably not even one!"
This statement made perfect sense, and even Tiao Lubu nodded repeatedly.
After Jin Wushu frowned slightly, he could only nod reluctantly: "What about General Ali's advice?"
"I'm afraid that the fourth prince is young and will lose his position if he loses continuously!" Ali, who is short in stature, continued to speak wantonly. "I know that the fourth prince has a noble status. Although it is a military discussion, in fact it is you alone who makes the decision, and I know
The purpose of the Fourth Prince's expedition this time is to capture the Emperor Zhao and Song of Henan. He doesn't care about anything else... But even if the Fourth Prince wants to capture Henan, there is one thing that the Fourth Prince must be careful about. You are determined to capture Henan today.
Emperor Zhao and Song are fine, but the Huaihe River is so vast and the opposite side is so tight. If we cross the river in a hurry without attacking the city, what should we do if we are blocked from crossing the river in the future?"
"What did General Ali say?" Jin Wushu frowned even more.
"Come back and hit the city honestly!" Ali replied sternly. "Don't ruin your opportunity just because you lose face! After all, we Jurchens are still invincible, and the southerners are still defeated at the first touch... Fight hard battles step by step.
, the southerners are no match for us, we are afraid that the Fourth Prince will take advantage of us!"
"So, is it wrong for me to resist Zhang Jun's provocation and not touch Jiancheng?" Jin Wushu finally couldn't restrain his impatience. "I think it's because of this gold and silver matter today.
, changing the plan to cross the river to encounter a strong city like Cai is a waste of time... Zhang Jun's move clearly wants us to get angry, abandon the Huainan Emperor, and turn around to fight him! The more
In this way, the less likely you are to fall into his scheme!"
Ali shook his head and said, "I have said that I have already said it. The fourth prince can do whatever he wants."
Wu Shu was furious for a moment.
On the other hand, Zhen Lubu didn't think it was good, and gave some advice: "Don't dislike it, the fourth prince. General Ali has a mature approach. Ali, don't deliberately contradict him. The fourth prince's determination is still good... Although the military camp on the opposite side is strict.
, but our Daikin is invincible in the field, no matter whether it is a pontoon bridge or a ferry, as long as we can send three to five thousand, the situation is certain!"
Ali and Wu Shu laughed each other when they heard this, but neither of them had any intention of paying attention to Zan Lubu. Seeing this, Zan Lubu had no choice but to be more direct: "So, what the fourth prince meant was to endure this incident and try his best first.
Looking to cross the river?"
"That's right!" Jin Wushu replied proudly. "Don't lose big because of small things! And don't fall for Zhang Jun's plan to lead us to attack the city just because of a little gold and silver!"
"What does General Ali mean, no matter what happened today or not, we should attack the city with all our strength and proceed step by step?" After nodding, Zhen Lubu continued to turn around and ask.
"That's right." Ali also said frankly. "It's too risky to cross the river without breaking the city... Our army came from afar and went deep alone. The Shouzhou and Huaibei areas were moved in advance by the Song people. No matter what, we should gain a foothold first.
Otherwise, once the delay is exhausted and we lose our foothold on the flat ground, we will have no choice but to retreat. By then, not only will we not be able to capture the Emperor of Song, but we will be laughed at by everyone!"
After saying this, Jin Wushu and Alifu both looked at Nian Lubu, and Nian Lubu sighed slightly, but also expressed a concern:
"I only know how to fight and charge. I have never been involved in this kind of thing in the past, but today I have a doubt to ask the Fourth Prince... What if when we plan to cross the river, what if the inner crossing in Cai City that we have been talking about is repaired?"
Jin Wushu immediately twirled his beard and sneered: "Since we are determined to cross the river, we only need to keep an eye on Xiacaicheng. What does it matter if the inner crossing is repaired or not? I don't believe it. How dare Song people go out to fight in the city?!"
Only then did Zhen Lubu suddenly realize: "I am confused! Then I have nothing to say! I actually don't think that I will be like Ali, who can't stand in the wild... Who should we fear when fighting in the wild?"
With the current 20,000 troops, we are not afraid of a hundred thousand soldiers from the Song Dynasty!"
"Does this mean you don't want to express your stance?" Jin Wushu smiled.
"That's right." Zhen Lu spread his hands and said, "You two decide on your own! Just call me when we fight!"
Ali kept shaking his head, but Jin Wushu let out a sigh of relief... After all, when it comes to self-determination, Jin Wushu must be the head coach, why not follow the wishes of the fourth prince?
Since the three of them had agreed that the main thing was to cross the river and prepare a pontoon bridge to cross the Huaihe River, they had nothing to say and had to disperse. Everything before the preparation of the pontoon bridge could only be done according to Jin Wushu's temper.
Already.
But sending away the two thousand households and wiping away the dust in the tents could not erase the depression in Jin Wushu's heart... It would always be difficult for any young coach to be teased by the enemy and taught face to face by a veteran.
In addition, it seemed that it would take several days for the pontoon to be ready, so the fourth prince could not help but think wildly. One moment he was worried that the Zhao Guan family on the other side would run away because it was ready to go to Caicheng; the other moment he thought that the other party would simply leave.
Once the other bank was clear, he could abandon Cai and chase after him. Then he turned around, but for a moment he felt that Zhao Guanjia, the other party, dared to cross the river to calm people's hearts, and actually gave him the courage to enter the Huai River at night.
After calming down, my heart became more and more unhappy, and I actually had thoughts of anger.
In short, in the gap between the war, Jin Wushu, who had forcibly restrained his intention to attack the city, was obviously frustrated and couldn't help but want to do something... And suddenly, the fourth prince did have an idea.
But he sent someone to summon Wenbin again.
"Don't be afraid!" Jin Wushu, who was standing in the tent with his hands behind his back, felt helpless when he saw the people on the ground trembling. "I have already said that this matter has nothing to do with you. Even if the punishment is only Zhao Qiu deserves to die... and he is already dead.
!”
Shi Wenbin had no choice but to kowtow in gratitude.
"I have a favor for you." Jin Wushu turned around and said seriously. "When it is done, I will immediately resume your duty as a soldier..."
What else could Shi Wenbin say, could he still refuse? He could only say yes repeatedly.
"It's like this. I'm afraid the Zhao and Song officials across the street don't know that our Kingdom of Jin has recently added two ministers of Duke Hunde and Marquis Chonghun. You can write a letter to explain this matter, and then you can be an envoy with us.
I'll send you across the river!" At this point, Jin Wushu's momentum gradually returned, but he couldn't help but puff out his chest and belly. "I want to see with my own eyes the reply from that bold Emperor of Song Dynasty!"
Shi Wenbin raised his head, not daring to refuse, but he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Are you crying?" Jin Wushu, who felt comfortable, sat back down and urged again and again, "Write quickly!"
