One Piece of Song Dynasty

Zhai Liang asked: "General Guan, what are you going to do? If you really use one of our own people to pretend to be robbers, the less people know about it, the better." Guan Sheng shook his head and said, "Of course you can't use all of our own people, what does Guan mean?" Yes, we can first secretly take down General Wang's group of bandits, kill the leader, and then select some of our people to insert them, take the remaining bandits to a night attack on Qufu, and then kill the remaining bandits after the matter is completed. Our The army can follow the bandits. If the bandits destroy the Kong family in the front, we can destroy the bandits in the back." Ma Kuo nodded and said: "Well, General Guan is more thoughtful, so let's do it like this, General Wang, since you know With Weishan, then you should lead the cavalry to secretly eliminate this group of bandits. Remember, we must not let anyone discover that we have eliminated this group of bandits." Wang Qi clasped his fists and said, "Yes, Marshal. "Ma Kuo then said: "General Guan, I will give you troops to complete this matter." Guan Sheng clasped his fists and said: "The last general will get the order." Ma Kuo finally told you: "I remind you again, today No one of you can leak this advice, not even to your own family. If anyone leaks it, you all should be aware of the prince's methods." On August , the day before Qu Duan was about to lead his army north, Sa Li shouted After bringing the remaining troops to Pingyang Mansion, Sa Lihe received an urgent message from the court as soon as he arrived at Pingyang Mansion. After Sa Lihe read the court letter, he paced back and forth in the government office with a gloomy face. While pacing, he muttered to himself: "The situation has become so dangerous." All the generals looked at Sa Lihe in confusion. , Hu Zhan asked tentatively: "Commander, what news did the court send?" Hu Zhan and his soldiers caught up with Salihe's retreating team the day after Salihe arrived in Wenxi County. Xi threw the letter from the imperial court to the generals and said, "Take a look for yourselves. During the two months of our southern invasion, something big happened in Yanyun." After reading the letter, all the generals looked at each other. Xi Buzhu frowned and said, "Yanjing Everything nearby has been lost. The court asked us to retreat and defend the front line of Taiyuan, but now we don’t have many soldiers. We only have more than cavalry. How can we defend it?" Sa Li rubbed his face and said, "The Song army will never do this. Those who gave up this opportunity to go north may be already on their way north. It seems that Pingyang Mansion cannot stay for long. We sent a message to the court that we do not have enough troops to see if they can send more troops over. The whole army needs to rest for a while. Then we set off for Taiyuan and send a copy of our decision to Tokyo." After arranging the request for help from the imperial court, Sa Lihe left with a gloomy face. The situation changed so quickly that he felt confused for a moment. This was the first time in his decades of military career that he felt so overwhelmed. On August , Qu Duan began to lead his army northward from Jiezhou. On August , more than cavalry troops led by Yue Yun and Li Shifu marched north from Shouchun first. On August , Li Xin, Zhe Yanzhi, and Han Shizhong began to march north in two directions. Li Dao also began to march north from Xinyang on the same day. On August , after seven long journeys, Jin Wushu and Wanyan Zongxian's army finally returned to Tokyo. As soon as he returned to Tokyo and his butt was still hot, Jin Wushu was given a blow to the head by the urgent message from the imperial court and Sa Li. Jin Wushu was distraught for a while, but as a battle-hardened veteran, he quickly calmed down. As a coach, if he can't handle his emotions well, then the morale of the army will be low. The impact is even worse. Jin Wushu calmly said: "What do you think of the letter between the imperial court and the West Route Army?" Wanyan Zongxian frowned and said: "If it had been half a month ago, when our army's strength had not been seriously damaged, we would not have returned the urgent request from the imperial court. It can be done, but now it is basically impossible. The east and west armies were almost completely wiped out, and our middle army also suffered heavy losses. Now that the Song Army has established a foothold in Shandong and recovered a large area, I think the main force of the Song Army should be very They will go north soon, or they are already on their way north. There is no point in returning to Hebei now." Han Chang said in surprise: "We can't even defend Hebei." Wanyan Zongxian sighed: "No, now It seems that the goal of Song Army Qu Duanbu's march north is to destroy our west-route army and go north to Hedong and even Xijing. At present, Yue Fei's troops have occupied the Zhongdu area. The imperial court asked Sa Lihe to guard the line from Taiyuan to Xijing. Unfortunately, he has no soldiers. How can he defend it if Qu is allowed to do so? If we reach Xijing, what's the point of tens of thousands of us retreating to Hebei? By then, we will be surrounded by Song troops on all sides, and we will only be annihilated." After hearing Wanyan Zongxian's words, all the generals were silent, and Jin Wu Shu asked: "What does King Yigai mean, what should our army do now?" Wanyan Zongxian said: "Our army should evacuate Tokyo as soon as possible after resting and heading to Hedong. I think Qu Duan should go to Jiangzhou and Pingyang Prefecture to go north. On the first line, we can take the Huaizhou and Luzhou lines and go north to Taiyuan. As long as Salihe can hold Taiyuan, maybe we can severely damage Qu Duan's troops under the city of Taiyuan or even annihilate him. After all, Qu Duan will not think that we will not be able to escape from Tokyo after we evacuate. We will go to Taiyuan. If we can severely damage or even annihilate Quduan, then our army has great hope of holding Hedong. Also, since Yue Fei has seized the Zhongdu area, Song soldiers must be guarding all the major passes in the Zhongdu area. Those dangerous passes are places where one man can guard the gates and no one can open them. It is futile for the court to send a large army to attack these places. It is better for us to write to the court to send only a small number of soldiers and horses to monitor the Song army, and let Gu Shen lead the rest of the army. Let them go south to reinforce Hedong. Now Hedong is the focus of our army's competition with the Song Army. Defending Hedong is the top priority of our army. As long as we can hold Hedong, we will have people who can follow us whether we fight or fight later. Li Xin's bargaining capital." Jin Wushu was very tempted by Wanyan Zongxian's idea. Now the Jin army suffered heavy losses in the entire southern invasion campaign, and the morale of the entire army is now very low. If the Song army can be severely damaged or even completely annihilated at this time One piece is like a rain for the whole army, and it can also restore the morale of the whole army. Jin Wushu thought for a while and then made a decision: "Okay, let's build the king's place and rest the whole army for two days. Then we will set off north to cross the river to Taiyuan. Han Chang, you first take people to collect boats to prepare for the army to cross the river." , and when we leave, we must take away everything we can from the city of Tokyo. I want to leave a broken Tokyo city to Li Xin, and send our decisions to Sa Lihan and the imperial court respectively. One portion." The generals saluted and said, "Yes, Marshal." After Yue Yun and Li Shifu led the cavalry troops out of Shouchun, they went all the way north without attacking the city. On the evening of August th, it was time to rest again. Yue Yun asked: "Uncle, we have reached the boundary a hundred miles away from Tokyo, and there are still one hundred and fifty miles away from the Yellow River. Where should we go to Tokyo to find gold next?" Wushu is bad luck"
