"Do you want to build an independent army?"
Wang Yao smiled, this is his purpose. He is the worst in a group of generals who came out of the mountains. He is still a deputy coach and the head coach of the first army at the same level as him. He has been fighting on the front line, hoping to win opportunities by relying on his record. Now that he has a record and a chance, he certainly doesn't want to let it go.
"Okay, you become an independent army." Luo Sinan also wanted to fulfill his wish, and this was the purpose of coming to Baideng Mountain. Li Hu was probably too busy and forgot Wang Yao. When he formed the Yisheng Army last time, he didn't even expect him. This was so sad that even Luo Sinan held a grudge for him.
"What number do you use?" Luo Sinan asked.
Wang Yao didn't expect that Luo Sinan agreed without blinking, and he felt excited and didn't say anything for a long time.
"Jing Lei Jun." Tian Yi, who was standing behind Wang Yao, spoke, "Madam, how do you think of this number?"
Luo Sinan laughed, "What are you doing? He gave such a vulgar name, "What do you think?" Luo Sinan asked Wang Yao.
Wang Yao glared at Tian Yi fiercely, "My thief, your mouth is so fast. Before I could think about it, a thunder came out. Just thunder is thunder. It's much better than the ghostly handsome King of Hell Army.
"I will give you the organization of four generals temporarily.\\*\\\" Luo Sinan said, "If you are not satisfied, go to the general commander at the Killing Hukou. The other eighteen generals are temporarily led by you. I warn you..." Luo Sinan suddenly punched Wang Yao hard, "You brought the new recruits out. If you bring them back, I will use them to fill the injuries of each army. Have you heard it?"
Wang Yao was in a state of great joy, and his head was lit like a chicken pecking at rice, and he agreed.
"When will we set off?" Luo Sinan glanced at him, and a cunning smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In fact, Li Hu had already explained in the letter that if the recruits were trained well, he could consider letting Wang Yao build an army independently and let him lead the army to the battlefield as soon as possible. However, Luo Sinan was worried that the troops were not strong enough, so he asked Wang Yao to bring all 50,000 people. Wang Yao brought 50,000 new recruits alone. Moreover, it was indeed very dangerous to train new recruits for a month. Wang Yao's consideration was actually correct, but Luo Sinan did not consider these issues at all.
Late at night, the command troops rushed into the Jin army camp like a flying one. Wanyan Yu urgently reported that the three families of Liao, Xia and Han formed an alliance. On the 22nd day and night, they attacked the Jin army. Considering that Chage could cross the river and advance east at any time, he had to give up supporting Zhenchuan Fort. He tried his best to kill Hukou and restrain the enemy.
This news made the Jurchens nervous. Although Wanyan Gao, Zong Han and others were ready to enter the battlefield of Xijing, once they saw that the Xixia people really came, the situation of the battle completely changed.\\\\\\\\\ Now that the Jurchens are fighting Xijing, Cha Ge brought the Xixia army with the advantage of military strength, and the military strength advantage was immediately lost. Moreover, the Jin army fought one after another. The soldiers were exhausted, which was particularly worrying that the Jin army was divided into three and fought on three battlefields at the same time. This violated the taboo of military strategists.
If the Xixia army had been sitting on the west bank of the Yellow River and watched the tiger fight, the Jin army had the conditions to divide the troops and break through, and now the Xixia people are coming, division of the troops is a mistake, which is enough to lead to an irreparable mistake in defeat.
Judging from the distance, Zong Wang is already very close to Yehu Ridge. Tomorrow he will arrive at Yehu Ridge and launch an attack. The main force of the Xixia people is still on the west bank of the Yellow River. It takes time for Chage to cross the river, and it takes time for him to reach the Killing Hukou. In this way, the Jin army still has enough time to break through Yehu Ridge, conquer Fengshengzhou, and then complete the two-way attack on Xijing.
Should we withdraw Zong Wang? Giving up attacking Yehuling is equivalent to giving up attacking Xijing. The Jin army has been fighting for eight days and has lost 20,000 to 30,000 people. If we give up, it is equivalent to giving up Daibei and giving up the best opportunity for the Jin army to unify the northern region. The Jurchens will never give up until the last moment. Since that is the case, there is only a bet.
The danger of gambling is too great, because not only the Xixia army supported Xijing, but also the Song army, and Songxia has an alliance, so the two sides may be very strong in joining forces.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ With the current strength of the Jin army, it is obvious that they cannot deal with four enemies at the same time.
"The Song army has not appeared yet, and Richard's Xixia army has not crossed the river yet. We have plenty of time to attack Xijing." Zong Han insisted on attacking.
Zong Pan and others agreed with Zong Han's opinion, while Yelu Yuji, Yelu Foding and others were cautious, because even if Zong Wang conquered Fengshengzhou, he won only the initiative of the Northern Battlefield, and was still a distance away from conquering Xijing. Therefore, Yuji suggested that he should first concentrate the main force to Fengshengzhou, and maintain a threat to Xijing. Then, he would use this truce during the rainy season to form an alliance with Xixia and the desert to isolate Li Hu and prepare for the second attack after the rainy season.
But the Jurchens' goal is not only Xijing, but also Yanjing. After the rainy season is over, the Jurchens may lose the opportunity to seize Yanyun.
Wanyan Gao decided to continue the attack. He wrote to Zong Wang, saying that the Xixia people and the Khitans arrived at the mouth of the tiger and were joining forces with Li Hu to attack. The Song Dynasty's army may also capture Xijing after entering the mountain in the near future. In addition to taking Fengshengzhou first, he must also seize time and ask him to take Fengshengzhou first at all costs.
Wanyan Gao wrote to Wanyan Yu again, be sure to keep a close eye on Brother Richard on the west bank of the Yellow River, be careful and be sure to hold back the Liao, Xia and Han coalition forces on the front line of killing the tiger's mouth.\\*\\\\\\ The four generals rushed to killing the tiger's mouth.
After receiving the letter from Zhe Keqiu halfway, he immediately accelerated his speed and only had three hours of rest a day, and finally arrived at his destination on the 24th.
At this moment, Yuwen Xuzhong, Liu had already arrived at the pass in advance. After receiving the letter from Zhe Kecun who had already set out from Ningwu Pass, they immediately rushed from Datong to Shahukou.
Li Hu personally went outside the pass to welcome the four generals of Zhe Kecun, Cao, Murong Xiahan and Yang Ling. Liu was very happy. He told Li Hu that Zhe Kecun brought 33,000 horse and infantry.
Li Hu had questions about this number. How could there be so many people in the four generals in Hedong? Yuwen Xuzhong quietly explained that the generals of the Song Dynasty were not thoroughly implemented, especially in the Northwest Army, each general had a maximum of more than 10,000 people, and at least six or seven thousand. In addition to the imperial guards, foreign soldiers and rural soldiers, each general had no general army. Therefore, in the Song Dynasty, the basic organization under the "general" was not "team", but "command", that is, battalion commander. When the Song Dynasty calculated the number of troops, it was counted by the number of command areas to count the number of troops.
Li Hu suddenly realized. He was a little confused. Since he implemented the "general military strategy", why it was not completely implemented? As a result, one army developed two systems, not the general army or the general army, but the general army was a mixture of the two systems.\\*\\\\\\ What a mess.
Yuwen Xuzhong opened his mouth and wanted to explain it, but this was too complicated. The strategy of military affairs of a general not only involved the bloody battle between the reformists and the conservatives, but also involved the official system, military system and financial system, the power constraints and balance between the Privy Council, the Three Yases, and the General Office, as well as the complex interest struggles between the armies and the military branches in various regions. The Song Dynasty spent decades and spent a lot of money. It wanted to strengthen the army, but it became more and more messy. It turned into a four-dimensional world. Not to mention strengthening the army, it actually fell into a huge empire. Only one army of the Northwest Army was available.
This time, he went north to support Datong and guarded Jiuzhou behind the mountain, and called on the Northwest Army.
At noon, Wang Yao led the 55,000-strong army of Jinglei and rushed to the tiger's mouth day and night.
The sudden appearance of this army not only shocked the Song army, but also surprised the resentful army and the Yisheng army.
Liu, Zhe Kecun and other generals from Hedong were shocked by Li Hu's strength. How many troops does this man have? Can the Dasong Town control such a powerful vassal state be controlled? Especially Zhe Kecun, he was even more worried about the fate of the Zhe family.
Yuwen Xuzhong knew the background of this army, but he didn't say that this army was not useful, and war also requires elite troops like the Zhe Family Army. If Li Hu's background is revealed now, the morale of the Song army would definitely be hit. Li Hu was actually holding on, and his main force was on the front line of Zhenchuan Fort, and there were only 20,000 resentful troops here. The Yisheng Army and the Jinglei Army, which had just been formed, were both decorations and were not useful.
Li Hu was entertaining the generals in the tent outside the pass. After a few glasses of wine, Yuanye appeared. He told Li Hu that Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu had arrived.
Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu walked all the way, and the scene in front of them was unbelievable. The Song Dynasty army not only came, but also came in a crowd of people, with a battalion of miles, with at least 100,000 troops. This battle seemed to be sure to win, but what after the victory? After defeating the Jurchens, will Li Hu go north to attack Yunnei? Even if he abides by the alliance, what about the Song Dynasty? The Song Dynasty mobilized so many troops just to maintain a great harmony?
When Yelu Ma Ge met Li Hu again, he spoke out bluntly. The first sentence was to ask about what happened after the Xijing War. After the war, did you follow the covenant? You follow the covenant, but what if the Song Dynasty was unwilling to follow the covenant?
Li Hu asked them to sit down and said with a smile: "Tell you something about it. The Song Dynasty launched an attack on Youyan at the end of April, but twelve days later, he retreated to Xiongzhou."
Yelu Ma Ge and Li Liangfu looked at each other, and a trace of surprise flashed in their eyes. Did they fall into the trap?
The people of Xixia knew the best of the military power of the Song Dynasty. In their opinion, Tong Guan and Zhong Shidao should have absolute certainty in fighting Youyan, but they retreated after only twelve days of fighting. This can only show one thing, that is a fraudulent defeat, to lure the Jurchens into the bait, making the Jurchens impatiently attack Xijing and Yanjing, and tore up the alliance first. Then the Song people joined forces with Li Hu, and then joined forces with the Liao and Xia armies to repel the Jurchens first, trap the Jurchens in the northeast, and never let the Jurchens become the heroic ruler of the north and threaten the Central Plains.
This strategy is far-sighted and in line with the interests of the people of the Song Dynasty. From this, it is speculated that after defeating the Jurchens, the target of the Song Dynasty was Youyan. What will happen next? Will the conflict break out between the Song Dynasty and Li Hu?
"According to our local alliance, after we defeat the Jurchens, the Xia Kingdom will restrain the Song army. The Liao army and I will jointly attack Yanjing and Shangjing." Li Hu pointed to Yanjing, "We will inevitably have a conflict with the Song Dynasty, but there will be no conflict now. If we fight with the Song Dynasty, it is equivalent to a cheaper Jurchens. Therefore, after the war is over, the King of Jin's army should approach the prefectures immediately and lure the Song army to support the north back to Hedong first."
"The Song Dynasty's intention was that after the end of the Xijing War, they would leave Juyongguan, Baigou and attack Yanjing in a row. If we lure this army back to Hedong, the Song Dynasty's plan to attack the two sides would fail. Of course, the Song Dynasty would not let the Northern Expedition give up halfway, and they would ask me for help. In this way, I can attack Youyan with justice and capture Yanjing."
