Chapter 13: I Surrender
Youzhou is the Beiping region of later generations, and it is also the core area of the eastern part of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures. Firmly occupy Youzhou City in his hands, whether it is front or back, left and right, there is room for flipping and jumping.
To the south of Youzhou are Zhuozhou, Mozhou and Canzhou, the land of these three states, which have been cut off from other state capitals by the Song army that occupied Youzhou. Over time, the people in these three cities will make wise choices for themselves.
To the north of Youzhou, it is Shunzhou and Danzhou. After these two state capitals, we arrived at the territory of Tokyo Province in Liaoguo. Of course, now the Tokyo Road of the Liao State has been occupied by the Jin State, so as long as they pass through Danzhou, the Song army can meet the Jin people.
After occupying Youzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture quickly dispatched officials to Youzhou to maintain law and order in Youzhou at night, and dispatched 20,000 soldiers from nearby to Youzhou City to ensure that the people of Youzhou would not be in turmoil.
After the handover was completed, Tang Ning led the army to leave Youzhou and advance in the direction of Danzhou.
First, if you occupy Youzhou City, you always have to help others. The second is that Tang Ning also didn't want to see Yelu Yu see the troops go to Datong Mansion, when Yelu Yanxi ordered to kill the king of Jin, the luck of the Liao State had been squandered by him Yelu Yanxi.
In the past, Tang Ning might have contributed to this matter, but now, the Jin State is powerful, and Tang Ning is reluctant to let the soldiers under his command go to death, and it is better to use the soldiers of the Liao State as cannon fodder.
Therefore, when the defenders of Shunzhou and Danzhou were ready to surrender, they found that the Zhenguo army of the Song State ignored them, and went straight across Danzhou and headed towards the territory of the Jin State.
Their only request was for the Danzhou guards not to block the grain and grass delivered by the Song State.
The Danzhou Shou General has a heart for the Han land, and his ancestors were originally Han people, but his father and grandfather always told him to find an opportunity to return to the Han land, and instilled in him the good of the Han land since he was a child, so he has a very obvious difference from Liu Bian.
As soon as he heard that the envoy from the Zhenguo army made such a request, the Danzhou guard general scratched his head and said, "Can't I surrender?" ”
The envoy of the Zhenguo Army was very puzzled and said, "We don't fight you, what are you going to do if you surrender?" ”
The Danzhou guard replied: "No, I am very yearning for the Great Song Kingdom." ”
"Oh, this is what we said, if you have the intention of surrendering, send someone to Youzhou to inform the local Song officials, and he will arrange it for you. We have more important things to do, and the Lord has already commanded us. ”
The Danzhou guard was stunned for a moment and said, "Do you really want to start a war with the Jin people?" ”
The messenger replied, "What if you are not?" Don't you hear the cold of your lips and teeth? Now there are Khitan people resisting the Jurchens, but if the Khitans fail, will the Jurchens stop there? Won't they take advantage of the victory and invade our Great Song Kingdom again? ”
After that, the envoy waved his sleeves and left Danzhou City, returned to the camp of the Zhenguo Army, leaving the Danzhou guard alone in the city puzzled, after thinking about it, he finally sent someone to Youzhou.
Wanyan Lou room, this person is the general of the Jin State, the first Meng'an in the Jurchen army. He was brave and resolute, proficient in military strategy, joined the army at a young age, and became the minister of seven waters on behalf of his father in his early twenties.
After Yan Agu raised troops to resist Liao, he was the first to stand up and support. The following year, he was promoted to Meng'an because of his outstanding military achievements, that is, the commander of a thousand commanders in the Jurchen language.
After Wanyan Agu attacked the ancient city of Dalu, the two armies fought a decisive battle outside the city, Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Yinshu could lead the cavalry to attack the Liao army in the middle of the formation, nine in and nine out, and broke the Liao army. After this battle, Wanyan Lou's reputation spread far and wide, and the Liao people were terrified.
For such a fierce general, Song Ting naturally had to investigate. But the more he investigated, the more chilled he became. Because there are too many fierce generals in the Jurchen army like Wanyan Lou Mur......
Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Hulu, etc., these people can pull out one at random, they are all fierce generals who can take charge of themselves, not long, but they also have a continuous military career, and their records are more wins and fewer losses, and Wanyan Lou has not even tasted defeat so far.
Although the Song people can still count on a Tang Ning, this is like a tiger surrounded by ten wolves, even if the tiger can bite all ten wolves to death, the other party still has a wolf king to beat him.
At this time, the tiger covered in bruises and exhausted is still the opponent of the wolf king? None of this is yet known.
To get back to the point, the Song army's unusual behavior within the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun quickly attracted the attention of the Jurchen spies, who reported this information to Wanyan Aguta.
Wanyan Aguta has always been very wary of the Song army, and after hearing the news, he ordered Wanyan Lou to lead 80,000 troops to fight the enemy.
You must know that although the Jurchens look infinite now, they are not able to use so many troops. 80,000 people is already a very important performance, don't forget that they are still fighting against the Liao State.
The Khitans also quickly noticed the movements of the Song army. Therefore, at the suggestion of the minister, Yelu Yanxi ordered Yelu Chun to lead 50,000 troops to Tokyo Province to support the Song army.
Li Qianshun also sent 30,000 cavalry into the Liao State at the request of Yelu Yanxi and rushed to Tokyo Road.
To be honest, the two countries of Western Xia and Liao were supposed to be the most powerful in military power, but since the battle of Pingxia City, Western Xia was defeated by the Song army.
The civil strife in the country caused the Western Xia's finances to make ends meet, and Li Qianshun had no choice but to follow the minister's advice and disarm to save money.
After that, Li Qianshun wholeheartedly imitated the development model of the Song State to govern the country, and now it is not easy to get up
color, there is a stall in this matter, Li Qianshun's heart is still quite depressed.
However, in order to ensure that their land would not continue to be invaded by the Song people, Western Xia had no choice but to ask the Liao State to intervene in mediation. The Liao State was regarded as the suzerain, and in this way, the Western Xia had to agree to any requirements of the Liao State.
Even if Li Qianshun knew that it was the Khitans who killed their mother with poisonous wine.
Leaving Danzhou is not only equivalent to entering the land of Jin, but also means leaving the sixteen states of Yanyun. The reason why the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were very important to both Song and Liao was that the terrain here was mostly hilly.
The rolling mountains and rivers are very common in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and this kind of terrain effectively limits the combat ability of the cavalry, and the cavalry in the era of cold weapons has always been a very unreasonable existence.
However, out of the sixteen states of Yanyun, both north and south are mostly plains, and such terrain is very suitable for cavalry combat, which is also an important reason why the battle between Jin and Liao has always been dominated by cavalry.
Of course, the cavalry under Downing's command was only 10,000. Among them, 2,000 were whirlwind gunners who could not run fast on inferior horses, and a cavalry battle with the Liao State in such a place was doomed to defeat Tangning.
Therefore, we can only adapt to local conditions, find a place with a slight slope to set up obstacles, and then lure the Jin army to take the bait, so as to defeat the Jin army.
The idea is good, but Wanyan Lou is not a fool. The reason why he has the title of invincible is reasonable, and after two days, the scouts on both sides have almost knocked out their brains.
The scouts of the Liao army were also involved, but they were really beaten out of their heads.
The Jin people are savage, and the scouts also have a bad habit of doing things if they don't accept them. When have the Khitans ever seen this kind of scout that is more reckless than the main battle force, and if they can't react, they will be cut off by the Jin people.
And the most basic trait of the Zhenguo Army is prudence, which Tang Ning has cultivated for a long time.
As the most important part of an army, scouts have a lot of responsibility, but they also take a lot of risks, so they need to be twice as careful as other soldiers to protect themselves.
Therefore, in the process of confronting the Jin army scouts, the word caution repeatedly pulled them back from the brink of death.
Later, the Jin people found that the Song people were like eggs in winter, so they simply didn't finish with the Song people. Everyone stared at each other from afar, and they didn't think about anything else.
Zhenguojun found a hillside, although it was not long, but it was a little steep. Placing horses on the edge of the hill and sprinkled the ramps with thistles was the best way to limit the use of cavalry.
But Wanyan Lou's room doesn't eat this, he is fighting in the country, he is not in a hurry at all......
