Chapter 464 Foreplay (Part 2)
Li Jilong only started from a military perspective, but Song Jiu had to think a lot.
I was really moved. If Yelu Xizhen was defeated and the two war gods of Liao fell one after another, it would be no less meaning than that of the Turks killing Li Ji and Li Jing, Wu Zhou killing Lun Qinling, and the Xiongnu killing Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
But he shook his head at last.
Li Jilong was very disappointed.
When Song Jiu and him counterattacked the Liao army, they also said that Li Jilong was a fugitive and the enemy was powerful. Now Li Jilong has proved himself, why don’t he believe it?
"General Li, it's the wrong time..."
"who."
Song Jiuwei said, and said, "I have several reasons to consider. First of all, the soldiers are more troops than the Liao Kingdom. I have some false reputation and have a strong appeal to the foreign troops. But if you think about it carefully, it turns out that it is mainly used to shock and train troops. In fact, the new soldiers account for more than half. Although there are many troops, including the new soldiers in the northwest, almost reaching more than 100,000. Besides, the rural soldiers, my father trained a powerful rural soldiers in Hedong, and the imperial court trained a rural soldiers in the northwest with the British and Qiang people.
, Maybe the military discipline is slightly worse, but the individual combat power is no less than that of the imperial court's imperial soldiers. However, there are always some differences in the treatment of the banned village soldiers. If they don't get together, they will stop. If they get together, some rural soldiers are unbalanced and the imperial soldiers are a little despised. Then there are the Northwest foreign soldiers. They have strong combat power, but their military discipline is poor and their cooperation is poor. Such an army reminds me of the army in the hands of Gao Xianzhi of the Tang Dynasty. If they fight smoothly, they can tremble the Western Regions. If they don't get smoothly, they will be defeated by the big food outside the mountain."
Li Jilong was silent.
There are many such stories.
Like Fu Jian's army in the Battle of Feishui, the army in the hands of Cao Cao in the Battle of Chibi...
It was also written in the plan.
If we follow the original plan, it is this kind of shallow attack. One is to train new recruits, the other is to train cooperation, and the third is to shock and create false images.
Use it immediately, changing from shallow attack to deep attack. There will inevitably be problems of one kind or another.
"Last year, the flood disaster in Hedong and Shaanxi was not serious, but in order to launch this battle, all the food was stored, even if we silently saw the high prices of grain near the capital, and then quietly transferred these food to the front line with the help of training. Although the people were used, they were within the scope of the people's endurance. This was the food and grass reserved at the expense of the happiness of the people in the rear. Now the two armies are in a stalemate, and the amount consumed every day will be an astonishing number. It would be fine if we transfer materials and weapons. Once we go deep into Yunzhou, we will transfer many civilians from the rear to transport the supply. The consumption is even more amazing. Once I am worried that the food and grass reserves are insufficient, the second is that I am worried that the national strength will bear the burden on the people will also increase."
If you don’t talk about the long supply line, you will give Yelu Xizhen the opportunity, and you will talk about financial and people’s strength.
Li Jilong was silent again.
"The reason why the recruits were transferred to the front line was to hone their confidence and cultivate their confidence. They were familiar with the cruelty of the battlefield, but most of the recruits were still unbearable for the time being. Therefore, they still counted on the consumption there..." Song Jiu nodded to the northeast.
Li Jilong disagreed.
Song Jiu patted his shoulder: "Don't underestimate those Jurchens. They were defeated at the beginning, and their main troops were loose and their troops were not large. Now there are still not many troops there, but after so many years of governance, most people have formed a regiment. Maybe they have mobilized 40,000 to 50,000 troops. But this 40,000 to 50,000 troops that have formed a regiment will reach the most elite 100,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,000 10,0
"I don't want to die too many soldiers. I can't even do it well, so that everyone will feel war-weary. Even if you defeat Yelu Xizhen, it will be a waste of money. Besides, there is one thing that you may know next year..."
That is Sichuan, that is Wang Xiaobo and Li Shun!
Now the court only treats them as a group of bandits, but Song Jiu knows how serious the problem is.
In fact, these two people did a great thing for the court!
But it was not the time...
...
"The king can be Goujian." Shi Pu said.
In fact, Shi Pu was very disgusted with Goujian. He could not defend his family business, and he could not treat his meritorious officials well.
Compared with the emperor, what is Goujian?
He was even more disgusted with Wu Xuanming.
The fierce battles of the Song and Liao dynasties gave Wu Xuanming the best opportunity. Due to the needs of the country's form, the Huntongjiang side was almost automatically forgotten by Xiao Yanyan.
Wu Xuanming took the opportunity to unify the Changbai Mountain and the seaside ethnic groups, and encouraged planting and breeding. Soon all industries in Liaodong were prosperous, thriving, and strong soldiers and horses were strong.
But as his strength increased, Wu Xuanming became proud again and blindly arrogant many times to send troops. Shi Pu had no choice but to tell him the story of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall.
However, this is not what he dislikes. At first, Shi Pu carefully assisted him, including some good generals, and recommended him to Wu Xuanming one after another. At first, Wu Xuanming also listened. As his strength increased, he gradually stopped taking Shi Pu seriously and nepotism.
Fortunately, he is better than the Koreans.
Shi Pu swallowed his anger and tried hard to continue to strengthen their strength for them.
This day is almost over.
Wu Xuanming was overjoyed.
Shi Pu retreated and called out to the generals such as Hou Zhongxun, An Dingzhong, Liu Xun, Cen Hao, Liu An, Yang Yanyu, Wei Shaomin and Han Zi.
It was these people who helped Wu Xuanming create the prosperous new Bohai Kingdom today. The people under their rule reached nearly 200,000 households and nearly 300,000 horses! The territory reached the Lumaoduo tribe in the south, the Helan River, the north was almost close to the Shiwei tribe in the upper reaches of the water, and the east was the sea. Its area was one and a half times that of Heilongjiang Province in the later years.
But it's not just them.
At first, Song Jiu brought more than 100 people, from officials to generals, and then to ordinary guards. After several tragic battles, only half of them survived.
Later, some merchants and the imperial court sent some postmen and auxiliary members.
These are the people who keep their word.
It can be said that if these few people were not there, even if Wu Xuanming had captured such a large territory, he would have been divided.
Shi Pu said: "In this battle, we can finally go back."
Joy flashed in everyone's eyes.
After staying for many years, my wife and children were separated. However, most people also took concubines and gave birth to children in the local area due to physical needs.
Shi Pu said again: "Everyone should do two things. The first thing is to prepare well. When your family can be sent to our court with the help of a ship, they will be sent over quickly and let them return to their country. The second thing is that you, civil servants, should return to your country first. We generals must fight in the previous battle. This battle must be done with pain and injury to the Liao people."
"good."
What Shi Pu didn't know was that Song Jiu was also observing.
After this battle, Li Jilong will return to Hebei. If he doesn't go back, Xiao Yanyan will definitely launch crazy revenge. With Zhang Qixian's ability, he is almost the same as himself. When a real war comes, he may not be able to truly defeat the Liao army.
I have to go back myself, too.
Because of himself, he formed an L-shaped defense line in Hedong and Hexi. Hedong and Hexi have been connected since then, and have posed a huge threat to the mountain behind, forcing the Liao Kingdom to station defense troops everywhere. The same is true at sea. If the Liao Kingdom, like the Song Dynasty, stationed troops everywhere to raise troops, there would be no need to be too many. After decades, the Liao Kingdom would not be defeated without the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Kingdom would be over.
But this line of defense was also attacked by the Liao Kingdom.
There are generals from Hedong, Yin Jilun, Gao Qiong, Yang Si, and Yang Qiong, Zhang Ning, Yin Xian and others from Hexi all performed well.
But what is missing is a handsome guy.
Yang Si and Song Jiu, who Pan Mei, were a little worried.
So Song Jiu put his eyes on the two people, one was Wang Xian, but he had no foundation in his heart. The other was Shi Pu, who was Zhao Kuangyi's person. Zhao Kuangyi would be relieved, and he would give power. At the same time, he had had many dealings with the Liao army in Liaodong, assisting Wu Xuanming for so many years. The commander planned and almost managed it with one hand. This would accumulate a lot of experience. With a commander and a general, Hedong would be fine.
However, theory is one thing. Practice is one thing. You can tell whether you have this ability or not.
Shi Xian didn't know.
Fifty thousand Jurchen cavalry went south.
The Liao army hurriedly organized a line of defense in Tongzhou.
But in the blink of an eye, it was defeated by the Jurchen cavalry. Five thousand Liao troops left behind more than two thousand corpses, and the remaining people fled to southern Liao in a hurry.
Xiao Yanyan was furious.
The mountain behind her made her feel very bad. Unexpectedly, these barbarians wanted to come and make a profit again. A cold light flashed in her eyes, so she asked Xiao Paoyao to lead 10,000 elite troops to attack Liaodong. The two armies met at the city of Yinzhou. Xiao Paoyao was also considered a brave general, but he had fewer troops, including 10,000 elite cavalry, and 10,000 temporary troops summoned from Liao and Liao. After several bloody battles, Xiao Paoyao was defeated and fled to Shenzhou.
Sun Quanzhao landed in Suzhou, southern Liaodong Peninsula.
He brought the eight thousand soldiers this time, but there were more ships than last time.
After a bloody battle, Suzhou was originally a small city, and Sun Quanzhao brought a lot of siege equipment. Soon he took Suzhou, and then took the people and supplies on the cargo ship brought by the people and shipped to Dengzhou. He continued to lead his army north and walked along the inner coastline. Another bloody battle occurred in Yu Fuzhou. This time the sacrifice was a bit heavy, and the Song army suffered nearly 2,000 soldiers and horses, but he successfully defeated the Liao army and took the opportunity to take Fuzhou City.
In the farther south, Li Jixuan led 10,000 cavalry to Feihu Pass.
The situation was very clear. The Song army suffered hardships in Youzhou after two northern expeditions, so they changed their strategies. They managed the mountain behind, but even the mountain behind may not be so easy to get. So the Song army began a series of careful preparations. They gradually attracted the main force of the Liao army behind the mountain, and then made the Jurchens attack. Being far away, the Liao Kingdom was difficult to take care of the head and tail. If the Liao army ignored Liaodong, the Song army would stay in a stalemate with Yelu Xizhen, Wu Xuanming and a Song army, one south and one north, took Liaodong. If Liaodong lost, the Liao Kingdom would be like a cut off one arm.
If it were Gu, the Song army would station heavily in Hedong and Hexi, and take it down the mountain in one fell swoop.
A difficult multiple-choice question, what should the Liao Kingdom do?
Xiao Yanyan said hatefully: "Kill."
Han Dejun stopped it.
The more you are, the more you cannot be anxious.
So the ministers of the Liao Kingdom discussed and finally issued an order.
The Song army was sure to win Youzhou, but Hebei's current military strength could not be taken down. Not only was it insufficient, but it was not enough. Could it be that Zhang Qixian could take on the heavy responsibility of the Northern Expedition? Xiao Yanyan re-appointed the retired old minister Yelu Xuegu and transferred it to Nanjing to stay in the country, allowing Yelu Xiuge to send troops to Liaodong, and at the same time, he also launched a large army from Zhongjing to personally conquer Liaodong.
