The First Champion Chapter 446
Zong Han rolled his eyes, approached Wanyan Aguda's ear, and whispered something in a low voice.
Wanyan Agu clapped his hands and said: "Okay, you really know what I'm thinking, this time the vanguard will be up to you."
Zong Han was overjoyed and asked, "Your Majesty, when will you send troops?"
"After preparing for so long, it's time to leave. Pass the order, and the army will set off south in three days."
Chapter 535
The golden soldiers went south, the iron hooves shook, and the flow of people was like a tide.
The first to bear the brunt is the land of Youyan, where soldiers and horses come and go like the wind, and light cavalry sentries protrude in all directions, and the states began to fortify the walls and clear the wilderness again.
When the cold wind turned warmer, the people and soldiers in the northern lands were mentally prepared that the Jurchen Tartars would definitely go south.
Now they have finally moved, and the Jurchens have not been idle for half a year, and the boundless territory has given them sufficient supplies of money, food and soldiers.
Under the city of Tanzhou, Han Shizhong frowned slightly, looking at the secret letter from the sentry in front of him, a trace of doubt flashed in his heart.
The civilian husbands and vassals driven by the Jurchen Tartars rushed to the forefront this time. This is a bit strange, and it does not conform to the Jurchens' usual style.When they are attacking the city, they will drive these people to die in the front. Generally, when they march, they will let the Jurchens take the lead, because they are confident enough to win the encounter in the wild.
What's even more strange is that the vanguard who went south this time turned out to be Yelu Yujian, a Khitan general.Generals like Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Loushi did not come to be the pioneers, and Wanyan Loushi did not even move in Zhongjing.
Han Shizhong pondered for a moment, then said to the soldiers around him: "Send someone to Juyongguan and tell Zongze that this time the Jurchen's southern expedition is likely to divide the troops again, and let him make preparations there as well."
This soldier is also a veteran of the Western Army. Hearing this, he said, "Han Shuai, this Jurchen still wants to go to Juyongguan, right? You must know that they suffered a loss at Juyongguan last time, and Ah Guda led the army to go there. Juyongguan gave Yizhou an opportunity."
Han Shizhong shook his head, he simply stopped thinking, and said: "Never mind, soldiers will block you, water will cover you with soil, and you will be successful if you don't lose the swallow."
"Can't we fight out?" Xiao Bing asked.
Han Shizhong laughed from the bottom of his heart. The generals were a little tired from fighting. Unexpectedly, the soldiers were all ambitious and wanted to hit the Great Wall.He rubbed his hands together and said, "You'd better tell Zongze, be careful and make no mistake, the Jurchens are used to dividing troops, so you have to be careful this time."
Juyongguan got its name from the Qin Dynasty. According to legend, when Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall, he moved prisoners, soldiers and forced laborers to live here, which means "relocation to mediocrity".
The situation here is dangerous, with Lulong and Jieshi connected to the east and Taihang Mountain and Changshan Mountain to the west.It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.It has two passes, the north and the south. The south is called "Nankou" and the north is called "Juyongguan".
There are numerous fortresses connected to one another, the terrain is Kaohsiung, the valley is deep, and soldiers and horses are filled in it. It is really a model of Youyan West Gate, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Zong Ze is here, gathering the strong and powerful Yan land, recruiting Yan people, and practicing day and night.
Standing on the city wall, Zongze looked at the young man who was carrying the wood and rolling stones up, and Zongze smiled: "Go back and tell Han Shizhong, let him rest assured, unless the enemy chieftains don't go to Juyongguan, otherwise they will never come back. "
After finishing speaking, Zong Ze turned his hands away, looked at the mountains and said in a low voice: "To be honest, I hope they come to fight Juyongguan. Han Shizhong's subordinates have been recruited by Qin Long for four years, right? Conquering Tubo, guarding Youyan, leaving home without stopping. After so many fierce battles, it is inevitable to be tired. Especially those generals and assistants, who were originally depressed in the Western Army. Now that Xia Bandit is dead, Qin Long An Ding, these people haven't had a chance to go back and take a look, have they?
My soldiers and horses are different, they are all Youyan men, Shoutu is guarding the family, but they are just Jurchen Tartars, Yandi has never lived in peace for a hundred years.Moreover, these soldiers and horses are not the only sons in the family, or have brothers, or have lost their parents. They have no ties, and they are determined to make contributions. "
The soldiers who came to spread the word, their eyes were a little sore when he said the main thing, but they said: "Sect General, don't underestimate us Qin Long soldiers, we haven't fought enough in this battle."
Zongze didn't think it was a stick, he laughed, and said: "Whether you have fought enough or not, you have to continue to fight. Now that the army is overwhelming, even if you want to retreat, it is too late. After defeating the Jurchen, we will wait for the imperial court's dispatch. Yang Shaozai is a favorite soldier." The people who are here will definitely not let you and others be buried in a foreign land."
Originally, the identities of the two parties were quite different, but Zongze had a good conversation today, so the soldier boldly continued to ask: "Master Zong, why did you say that the Jurchens were beaten back, don't you think we can break through the Great Wall and go straight to the Huining Mansion?" Is it?"
Go straight to Huining Mansion?Zong Ze shook his head, and said patiently: "Frozen three feet, it is not a day's cold. The Song Dynasty has been suppressed by the northern aliens for so many years, and it can't be changed overnight. Lost this grand pass and the big city, go to the north in the ice and snow. Desperate with the Jurchens? Hold on this time, and hold on again, maybe it's time to get out of the fortress."
Zong Ze still has something to say in his heart, which is Yang Shaozai's new policy, which cannot be discussed with border soldiers.
Zongze was born as a Jinshi and has 20 years of experience in local county magistrates. Of course, he can see the quality of this New Deal.It is simply earth-shaking. If the New Deal can be spread all over the world with an iron fist, then the Song Dynasty may really be able to reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
---
In Bei'an Prefecture, the Jurchen army marched forward with difficulty on the road of melting ice and snow.
Quite a few civilian husbands were beaten by the Jurchen cavalry because they got stuck in the mud.
The Jurchens didn't treat these folk husbands as human beings at all, not to mention their naked clothes, and they couldn't eat enough to eat.They themselves are full of food and drink, full of energy, talking about the treatment of people and war horses, which is far better than these raw people.
Most of the Tartar soldiers are equipped with two horses each, one horse carries people, and the other horse carries dry food, cheese and wine.
In the area of Huining Mansion, due to the efforts of Yang Pu and others, the Jurchen nobles began to establish laws to alleviate the abuse of local people of different races.
But when they arrived at this borderland, they returned to their former ferociousness, even though this place was still the territory of the Kingdom of Jin in name.
Wherever the Jurchen soldiers and horses passed, there were almost no complete villages, and the roadsides were full of naked corpses.Their blood-stained clothes were stripped off by the Jurchens and wrapped around their horses.
Fortunately, in the wilderness, as soon as they passed the village, there would be Jurchen Tartars galloping back and forth, driving and slaughtering for a show, and there would be wild laughter from time to time.
This place is close to Youyan, there are mostly Han and Khitan people, I don't know how many people are crying and screaming, struggling hard.The men were taken captive to do coolies, the women and children were all dead by the roadside, and under the billowing smoke rising from every column in the sky was a village that was being burned.
The Jurchens turned a blind eye to Zuo Shu, because their Jurchens fought, especially when they attacked the city, they needed a large number of people to die in front.
In the past, they used to fight wherever they went and plunder locally, but after passing the Great Wall, the Han people began to fortify the wall and clear the wilderness. Often, no living person could be seen within a radius of tens of miles.
So they can only use this method to obtain raw materials, carry them on weekdays, and use them as cannon fodder in wartime.
Chapter 536 It's hard to hide
Kaifeng Mansion, Bianliang, Tokyo.
In the Mingtang of the Forbidden City, the princes of Gungun gathered together to discuss the battle of Youyan around a sand table.
Yang Lin held a small bamboo pole, pointed to a high point on the sand table, and said, "This is Juyong Pass, connected to Tanzhou by the Great Wall, and further down is Yizhou Mansion. This line of defense is ours. It was built with my own hands back then, the fortresses are densely covered, and there are many fortifications, so you don’t have to worry about it.”
Yang Lin is very confident that if this place can block the Jurchen once, it will block them a second time.When the domestic economy picks up and the New Deal begins to show results, it is time to fight back.
This time, he didn't even plan to go to Youyan to supervise the battle. In the Han Dynasty, a qualified commander was someone who could appoint good generals.This is different from the alien races that have risen in the grassland. Every generation of overlords in the grassland is almost a fierce general who can personally lead troops to fight.Therefore, the hegemony they raised by force comes and goes quickly, and will soon be replaced by other poorer, fiercer, and more desperate tribes.
Chief Prime Minister Bai Shizhong said with a smile: "With Yang Shaozai's layout, the Youyan area must be as firm as a mountain, but a few days ago Khitan sent people to urge us to send troops as soon as possible to help them defend Hongzhou."
"Hongzhou?" Yang Lin twitched his lips and asked, "It seems that Yelu Dashi was worried that the Jurchen would make a fuss, and on the surface he came to attack our Great Song Dynasty, but secretly turned to fight Khitan, hahaha, is this really unreasonable? Halfway through Yang Lin's speech, his expression suddenly became solemn, and he stared at Hongzhou carefully.
"Will you say that Wanyan Aguda will really go to fight Khitan?"
Everyone present shook their heads. Bai Shizhong glanced at the sand table and said, "Perhaps the Khitan people are afraid of Jurchen's ferociousness and want my Great Song soldiers to enter, so they pretended to be so aggressive. That Jurchen has a blood feud with Da Song that has not been avenged." , and secretly negotiated peace with the Khitan, making it known to the world, who cares about the Khitan's life or death."
"We don't care, but the Jurchens can't care less. As long as there is a small court in Yunzhou, they will not go south with peace of mind." Yang Lin frowned and said: "Soldiers, national affairs, have to be cautious. It's better to let Yao Pingzhong do it again." Bringing the Western Army to Yunzhou Mansion can be regarded as a reassurance for both parties."
If he was not involved in military matters, Yang Shaozai would be "cowardly as a mouse". Those who are familiar with him know this, and everyone is not surprised.
Anyway, the Western Army will not be needed for a while, so if you transfer to Khitan, you can transfer to Khitan. The army will arrive at Yanmen Pass in less than three to five days, and it is very convenient to advance and retreat.
Yang Lin grabbed the high handle beside him, and said, "When you give the order, trust Yao Pingzhong closely, and don't forget to map the map along the way."
Gao Shan nodded lightly, a little funny in his heart, Yang Shaozai is really a chicken thief.
After Yelu Dashi came to power, how could he deploy soldiers and horses like Yelu Yanxi? The previous map must be useless.
The two troops fought side by side, even if Yelu Dashi wanted to hide, he couldn't hide.
