Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zhao Ning asked, "Who is the general guard in Taiyuan now?"

Zong Ze said, "It's Wanyan Jiamu."

"What about the previous one?"

"The previous one was Wan Yan Sa Li Drink."

Wanyan Jiamu?

This makes sense.

Who is the most brutal general in the Kingdom of Jin?

It is Wanyan Jiamu.

Zhao Ning continued to ask: "Wanyan Jia's mother is a cruel person, why did the Golden Council suddenly send him to Taiyuan?"

Zong Ze said: "Your Majesty, according to my opinion, this person came to Taiyuan in May this year. It may be that the Kingdom of Jin wanted to take advantage of me to use troops against Xixia to take advantage of the opportunity to go south, so this person came instead."

When Zong Ze said this, the logic really made sense.

At the beginning of this year, the battle between Song Qi and Song Xia broke out.

The main battle faction in the Kingdom of Jin raised its head. Wanyan Zonghan nominally went west to conquer Yelu Dashi, but in fact he wanted to station troops in Yanjing for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty.

And Taiyuan, as the outpost of the attack on the Song Dynasty, will definitely take the first action.

Chapter 452 Send troops to Taiyuan! (third change)

That Wang Chuanmao was taken down.

The hall fell silent.

After a while, Zhao Ning asked: "Zong Qing, what Wu Jie said is the time to capture Taiyuan, what do you think?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister bluntly said that what Wu Jie said is indeed reasonable. Taiyuan fell in the first year of Jingkang. It has been four years now. The people of Taiyuan Prefecture miss the court day and night. In the second year of Jingkang, the Jin people reduced taxes in order to stabilize the situation in Taiyuan. Now that the commander-in-chief of the Jin army is extorting violently in Taiyuan, he will definitely lose the support of the people, and it is an excellent time for us to send troops."

Zhao Ning walked back and forth.

The news came from the north before that Wanyan Gao died of illness and Wanyan Zongwang left Yanjing. There must be a wave of power struggles within the Kingdom of Jin.

The lack of food in Taiyuan City occurred in the past few months, which probably has something to do with Wanyan Zongwang's departure from Yanjing.

If Zongwang was in Yanjing, he could still suppress Wanyan Jiamu in Taiyuan.

But Zongwang went back because of the power struggle in Beijing.

This also shows that Jin Guo has revealed a flaw this year.

At least there is a big flaw in Taiyuan now. The power of the people in Taiyuan is unstable. If the Song Army sends troops at this time, the Song Army, which has already developed the armed forces behind the enemy in Taiyuan Prefecture, can raise its arms and shout.

However, Zhao Ning felt somewhat apprehensive.

At this time, the Song Dynasty experienced a major purge internally, and the court situation was unstable.

If the attack on Taiyuan fails, it may increase the economic burden on the north, and it will also lead to instability of people's hearts.

Once this is the case, all parties within the court will find ways to fill this burden, and some people will definitely think of taking advantage of the New Deal.

But then again, the house was copied a lot this time, right?

Then use it!

Zhao Ning asked: "Mr. Zhao, what do you think?"

Zhao Ding said: "Food is not the problem now. The problem is that Taiyuan City is as solid as gold. Whether it can be defeated or not. If the stalemate persists, it will definitely damage the people's strength. The east of the river has just eased, and it may be inappropriate to increase the burden."

Zhao Ning nodded, and he also agreed with what Zhao Ding said.

"There is a short-term conflict within the Jin people. Taiyuan is a flaw, and it is also a rare opportunity for us." Zhao Ning walked to the map, and his eyes fell on the location of Taiyuan Mansion.

He continued: "Once we regain Taiyuan, and the Jin army wants to move westward and unite with Xixia, our army can send troops from Taiyuan at any time, go north to Daizhou, and cut off the return of the Jin army."

Chen Gui added: "In this way, the risk of the Kingdom of Jin attacking Shaanxi will be increased."

"That's right, the front line of the Jin army is contained in the Daizhou area, and they can no longer rush westward. At the same time, Fugu and Linzhou will be exposed to the front of our army, and it will take back this place, just around the corner!"

The Fugu and Linzhou mentioned by Zhao Ning are important military towns in Hedong. They are located in the west of Taiyuan, between Xixia and Jin.

In the first year of Jingkang, Zhe Keqiu surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, Fugu became the territory of the Kingdom of Jin, and Linzhou also fell.

Therefore, in fact, the recovery of Taiyuan had a great impact on the Three Kingdoms, especially the Song Dynasty.

If they could deploy heavy troops in Taiyuan Prefecture and Daizhou, the Jin army would have to go west from Datong if they wanted to go west, but they would also be afraid that the Song army in Daizhou would take the opportunity to attack.

This is tantamount to isolating the military alliance between Xixia and the Jin Army. After Xia Xia is destroyed, it will be more difficult for the Jin Kingdom to rescue.

Zhao Ning asked: "If I give Wu Jie two months, how many troops will he need?"

Zong Ze said: "A total of [-] troops is feasible, including [-] forbidden troops and [-] Xiang troops. Hedong now has a total strength of [-] troops."

Zhao Ning asked again: "If the Jin army in Zhending Mansion takes the opportunity to go south, can the Hebei army hold it?"

Chen Gui said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, some cities in Hebei have already begun to use bricks, and each city is equipped with muskets and sufficient crossbow arrows. Reinforce each other."

Zongze said impassionedly: "Your Majesty, the number of rebels behind the enemy in Zhending Mansion, Zhongshan Mansion, and Taiyuan Mansion has reached a certain scale. Now Taiyuan people's livelihood is chaotic, and the people are all eager for the imperial court to go north!"

"Okay! Then fight!" Zhao Ning stood in front of the map, staring at Taiyuan, "Give Wu Jie 10 people, I will give him one month more, let him take Taiyuan in three months! Zong Shuai, you come to prepare food and grass , Zhao Xianggong must cooperate!"

Everyone said: "The minister waits for orders!"

"Be sure to pay attention to the defense of Hebei to prevent gold thieves from going south from Hebei!"

"Yes!"

"I'm now at the stage of negotiating a peace and truce with the Jin people, so I want Wu Jie to pay attention to the way to start the war."

"Yes!"

In late October, the Shangdang River began to snow, and the cold wind crossed the Taihang Mountains, ravaging the world like a sharp blade.

Not far from Shangdang, there is a stone tablet. The stone tablet looks like a giant pillar standing between the sky and the earth. It is engraved with names, and in the middle there is a row of words painted with iron and silver hooks, which are vigorous and powerful: Heroes are immortal!

The soldiers and civilians who transport food from here can see the stele, as well as the tomb guards who come to clean and worship regularly.

At this time, the eyes of passers-by will become solemn, and they will cast reverent gazes.

Just when the Luoyang case had just come to an end, the war machine of the Great Song Dynasty had quietly turned into motion.

This time it is not Shaanxi, nor Hebei, but Hedong.

However, before the battle of Taiyuan started, there was an episode.

According to reports from Li Gang in Cangzhou, Goryeo sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, and they are still in the Cangzhou area and will soon leave for Tokyo.

In the early morning of October 21st, Wu Jie, the number one romantic general in the Song Dynasty who was still sleeping soundly among the women, was suddenly awakened by a voice outside the door.

"Wu Tongzhi, the Daming Mansion is here!"

Wu Jie opened his eyes, got up from the bed immediately, began to dress, opened the door and saw Yang Zheng.

"Wu Tongzhi, the Daming Mansion is here."

"go!"

It turned out to be Liu Kai, the magistrate of Daming Prefecture.

Liu Kai said: "Wu is in charge, and the government has an order to give you an army of one hundred thousand to take Taiyuan City."

Wu Jie quickly said: "The last general takes orders!"

Liu Kai put on the ground the documents of the Hebei Hedong General System Department, and then said: "Your Majesty's imperial edict."

Wu Jie was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed, and the others also quickly saluted.

"Taiyuan fell into the hands of gold thieves, and thousands of people were killed. I am so sad that I can't sleep at night. I have heard of Wu Qing's bravery for a long time. I ordered the government to send [-] troops to recover Taiyuan within three months, so as to bring peace to the world."

Wu Jie took it over and said, "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

Liu Kai said: "Under Wu's rule, time is short, and taking back Taiyuan is the top priority, and it is an order issued by His Majesty himself."

"Don't worry, the officer will not disappoint His Majesty."

Liu Kai sat for a while, then took his leave.

Yang Zheng said: "In three months, it takes one month to mobilize the army, and there are really only two months left!"

"Two months is enough!" Wu Jie said decisively, "I just want to take advantage of the gold thief's reaction and catch him by surprise!"

Yang Zheng said: "Taiyuan is as solid as gold, and to attack Taiyuan must cooperate with the outside. Should we first send people to cut off all the grain transported to Taiyuan by the people?"

"No, it will arouse the suspicion of the Jin people. First send people into the city to contact the rebel army, and then attack Shouyang. Lead the Jin army out of the city to Shouyang. After defeating the Jin army in Shouyang, you can cut off the support from the east of the Jin army."

Yang Zheng said with emotion: "Winter has already entered!"

Wu Jie said: "The right time, place and people are harmonious, how can such good luck take all of it?"

Chapter 453 Wu Jie seeks Taiyuan (first update)

Yang Zheng said: "But it is indeed difficult to attack the city in this kind of weather."

Wu Jie said: "Not necessarily, we don't need to attack by force."

"The end will be dull."

"This Wanyan Jiamu is now searching for people's fat and people's cream in Taiyuan Mansion, isn't she?"

"Yes, this beast is cruel. I heard that during the summer tax this year, a family in Taiyuan City was unwilling to pay so much tax. The whole family of 58 people were all killed, and their heads were hung at the gate of Taiyuan City. There were no children. Let it go, blood stained the gate of the city red."

"So, these grains are all gathered together now?"

"Naturally, most of them are gathered together for Wanyan Jiamu to eat, drink and have fun. I heard that this dog not only sings and drinks every night, but also has one hundred and eight different dishes on the table every day. A person cut open a person's stomach with a knife, and the person was not dead, took out the person's internal organs, and forced the person to eat into his mouth."

Wu Jie said: "Okay, okay, I know he is cruel, I haven't had breakfast yet, so you don't have to say this in front of me."

"What exactly does the system want to say?" Yang Zheng said seriously, "We only have three months now, and if we don't capture Taiyuan within three months, I'm afraid we won't be able to explain to His Majesty and Zongxiang."

Wu Jie spread his hands helplessly and said: "When I get to the point, you tell me the things that make me lose my appetite. Are you explaining to me?"

"It's more urgent to rule and forgive sins."

At this time, the people below prepared breakfast.

Wu Jie sat down and began to eat breakfast.

Wu Jie is a man, when people mention him, the impression is very simple: a famous general, mighty, domineering, sweeping thousands of troops, strategizing.

But in fact, he is very serious when it comes to military training or on the battlefield, but usually he is a very serious person.

He was thin and looked like a scholar. He wore long robes on weekdays, and he even had the informal atmosphere of some Taoist priests.

It may be because he likes to take pills, but his complexion is not healthy.

However, those eyes were bright and energetic.

And his biggest hobby is to ask Yang Zheng to find him beautiful girls, especially Xiaojiabiyu type girls.

In history, Wu Jie once spent [-] guan to buy the daughter of a scholar and gave it to Yue Fei.

A self-discipline, Yue Fei, who never went to brothels, said: Now that the national humiliation has not yet been seen, is it the time for the general to take pleasure in ease?

Wu Jie respected Yue Fei more and more, felt that he was not as good as Yue Fei, and felt very guilty, so he put the girl to sleep and added several more.

This is Wu Jie.

It seems that he is still very kind, like a romantic scholar, it is difficult to connect with the famous anti-golden general.

But if anyone underestimates him, he will definitely pay the price.

Wu Jie ate his breakfast and said, "Think about it, Wanyan Jia's mother collected all the food in Taiyuan Mansion with heavy taxes. If we set fire to him all, would he be so angry that he would leave Taiyuan city?" head off?"

Yang Zheng just took a few mouthfuls of steamed buns, and when he heard this, he was stunned, but he didn't swallow the steamed buns, and almost choked himself to death.

After finally swallowing the steamed buns, Yang Zheng coughed twice, and then said: "The land where the grain is stored must be guarded by heavy soldiers, how to burn it down?"

Wu Jie looked at Yang Zheng, Yang Zheng was a little confused.

Wu Jie continued to look at Yang Zheng, and Yang Zheng said: "If Zhang Xiaochun does this, he will die."

"Yang Sanlang, Yang Sanlang, why do you like to make decisions for others? Tell Zhang Xiaochun about this and let him make his own decisions."

"What if Zhang Xiaochun betrays us?"

"Sell us?" Wu Jie had a smile on his face, the kind of eyes that looked like a fool, "You mean that Zhang Xiaochun went to Wan Yan Jia's mother to inform Wanyan Jia's mother that we secretly instigated Zhang Xiaochun to burn Wanyan Jia’s mother’s granary? Then Wanyan’s mother hugged Zhang Xiaochun gratefully and said, “Hey, Zhang Yongxi, it’s lucky to have you, or else my granary would be burned down by that bastard Wu Jie?”

Yang Zheng scratched his head and said, "In this case, I am afraid Wanyan Jia's mother will not only not be grateful to Zhang Xiaochun, but also suspect that he has been secretly communicating with us before. Wanyan Jia's mother is cruel by nature, and Zhang Xiaochun may die."

Wu Jie spread his hands again, as if to say: You finally realized what role Zhang Xiaochun played in this.
