Chapter 10 The Three Kingdoms Resist Jin
At Zhao Li's suggestion, the next simulated actual combat is set like this.
On the right flank is the field troops guarding the city, deployed outside the city, and there will be three waves of reinforcements to assist, each with 5,000 men. The left compartment is a long-distance run to this point, the military rations have been exhausted, and they have been hungry for a day.
If the left wing can defeat the right wing with 15,000 reinforcements, then the left wing can capture the city and win, otherwise the right wing will win.
I have to say, this setting is not bad. When the conquest of Jiaozhi was carried out, Gao Shu faced this problem.
In June, the Jin army, which had occupied Tokyo, rapidly advanced westward, preparing to capture the Shangjing Province of Liao. Yelu Yanxi ordered Yelu Chun, the king of Qin and Jin, to lead an army to Liaodong to counterattack the Jin army.
But Yeluchun was obviously not the material for the commander of the army, and 80,000 people were flanked by the Jin generals Di Gu Nai, Wan Yan Lou Mur, Bo Lu Huo and Hu Lu Gu. Yeluchun led the crowd to flee in a panic, and the Liao army, which had lost its commander, had no will to fight. In this battle, the Jin army paid a very small price and captured 50,000 Liao troops.
In September, in order to stop the Jin army from advancing westward, Emperor Yelu Yanxi Tianzuo ordered Yelu Chun, who had just fled from defeat, to be the capital, recruited 30,000 hungry people from Liaodong, and organized them into eight battalions, known as the "resentment army".
At this time, everyone could see that Yelu Yanxi wanted to kill Yelu Chun, and the matter of Yelu Zhangnu at the beginning planted a nail in Yelu Yanxi's heart, and until now, Yelu Yanxi is still very wary of Yelu Chun.
In October, the Jin army continued to advance westward and began to attack Xianzhou in the northeast of Qianzhou.
However, the combat effectiveness of the resentful army was too poor, even if it attacked the Jin army, it failed to succeed in the end, but was defeated by the Jin army, and Yeluchun fled in a hurry again.
The Jin army then captured Xianzhou, and after that, seven prefectures, including Hui, Cheng, Hui, and Qian, surrendered to the Jin state one after another.
In November, Wanyan Agu led the Jin army to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, the capital of Liao. At the end of the month, the Jin army arrived in Shangjing and sent envoys to surrender.
Liaoshangjing stayed behind and was not wild, relying on the strength of the capital pool, and the accumulation was abundant, trying to hold on to the city. But it's a pity that he met the Jurchens.
This group of barbarians did not have the word flinch in their heads. Wanyan Aguda braved the rain of arrows like flying locusts to come to the city to supervise the battle.
His general Yan Mu led the army to the city first, the two sides fought for only half a day, and the outer city was broken by the Jin army. Knowing that the city could not be protected, he immediately made a wise choice, that is, to lead the army out of the city and surrender.
When the outer city was broken, Yelu Yanxi had already fled Shangjing with supplies and troops and went to Xijing.
The Jin State has won many battles, and the Liao State has been defeated repeatedly. Everyone can see that the current Liao State is already in the general trend. For a time, the number of Liao who surrendered to the Jin State was innumerable, and the Jin
The power of the country has grown again.
In the spring of 1105, Zhao Xu finally fell ill. He became bedridden with this disease.
In the past five years, he has given birth to many children, but all of them are daughters, and most of them have died young. This is like a dark cloud wrapped around the head of the old Zhao family, except for Zhao Ji, looking at the old Zhao family, few of them can give birth, and few of them can give birth to children and let them grow up safely.
Zhao Xu is now very laborious to speak, and the ministers, and even the Queen Mother, are urging Zhao Xu to establish a prince.
Now the prince is nothing more than choosing among his younger brothers, Shen Wang Zhao Ji, Duan Wang Zhao Ji, Xin Wang Zhao Yu, Jian Wang Zhao Si, and Mu Wang Zhao Si.
Among them, Zhao Ji's voice is the highest, Zhao Si is second, and Zhao Yu Zhao seems to be the second. As for Zhao Li, no one thought of him at all. How can a man who is blind in one eye be this emperor?
The rule of the old Zhao family is that there is a back, and there is no back. According to this rule, it should be Zhao Yan who succeeded Zhao Xu as emperor.
But again, it is impossible for a person who is blind in one eye to sit in the position of emperor. So one step back, it became Zhao Ji.
Zhao Xu was powerless to change this rule, although he didn't want Zhao Ji to sit in the emperor's position.
He couldn't be clearer about his younger brother, what Li Yu is like, he can be a human being, he can be a calligrapher and painter, but the only thing he can't do is this emperor.
The emperor needs to think rationally, and he can't be too fond of the people around him, and he can't be too repulsive. Although Zhao Xu favored Tang Ning and gave Tang Ning a lot of power, the reason why no one objected was because Zhao Xu also had a very good check and balance on Tang Ning.
He let Zhao Tong enter the Zhenguo Army as a supervisor, which is enough to show that he did not completely hand over all power to Tang Ning.
But Zhao Ji is an emotional person, if he believes in a person, he will believe it to the end, and he will not regret it if he does not suffer losses.
So Zhao Xu was very worried, he talked to Zhao Ji several times, and I don't know if Zhao Ji listened.
Zhao Ji became the prince as a matter of course, and Zhang Dan's heart was like ashes. He said again in front of Zhao Xu: "King Duan is frivolous, and he can't rule the world." Then he went to the Queen Mother and said again: "King Duan is frivolous, and he can't rule the world." But it didn't help.
What can Zhao Xu, who is lying on the hospital bed, do? Now the Empress Dowager Xiang is the one who can speak, and Zhao Ji has been currying favor with the Empress Dowager Xiang since a long time ago.
Tang Ning would not be involved in the affairs of the palace, but he knew that now was the last opportunity to recapture Yan Yun.
He couldn't be clearer about what kind of person Zhao Ji was, he wouldn't use people at all, and he would promote whoever spoke well.
I have become a family and a business over the years, and I rarely try to please others anymore. He wanted to live his day
son, after completing the agreement with Zhao Xu, he resigned and returned to his hometown.
So he doesn't need to please others, and there's no need for that.
What worries Tang Ning the most is Zhao Ji's character, and a large part of Jingkang's shame is because of himself.
Originally, Lian Liao anti-Jin said well, but it turned out to stab the Liao people in the back. Then he ran to tell the Jin people to jointly resist Liao, and then stabbed the Jin people in the back.
After going back and forth, Zhao Ji defeated the national fortunes of the Great Song Kingdom, who can bear such a two-faced villain's behavior? Who will put up with it?
In February, Tang Ning was summoned to the palace. Zhao Xu ordered Tang Ning to lead the Zhenguo army, and a total of 200,000 troops from the Jingxi Sixth Road, in the name of supporting the Liao State, to send troops to Youzhou.
This move was the consensus of the ministers, the Jin people were barbaric, and no one dared to guarantee that after they annexed the Liao State, they would not turn their heads against the Song State.
The so-called cold lips and teeth, if the Liao State is destroyed, the next one will be the Song State. Therefore, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty reached a consensus, that is, in the name of supporting the Liao State, they would start a war with the Jin State, and at the same time take the opportunity to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.
This is the old thing of emulating Wanyan Aguta and Gao Yongchang, presumably Wanyan Aguta will not mind this.
In March, the Song and Liao states made an appointment to send envoys to Western Xia to persuade Li Qianshun to send troops to support. At this point, the three long-standing grudges of the Song, Liao, and Western Xia began to overcome the difficulties together regardless of their past grievances.
In this regard, Wanyan Aguda has a headache. He knew in his heart what the Liao people were capable of, he hadn't fought for more than a hundred years, and he was naturally overwhelmed.
But what about the Song people? They are not such stinky fish and rotten shrimp, they defeated Western Xia ten years ago and Jiaozhi four years ago. They have never been idle all these years.
Thinking of this, Wanyan Aguta sent an envoy to the Song Kingdom, hoping to maintain peace with the Song Kingdom, and everyone get along well and not fight.
However, the rapid expansion brought only fear, and the envoy of the Jin State did not complete the task. However, Song Guo received him politely, and he was entertained with delicious food and drink, and he didn't make him angry.
Seeing that the peace talks were hopeless, Wanyan Agu decided to go to war. Even if these three countries send troops together, then let them come.
The Jurchens have been oppressed for decades, but whenever anyone dares to stand in their way, let the Jurchen Iron Rider let them understand that the Jurchens are never easy to mess with, and the Jurchens never feel afraid.
Just when Wanyan Agu was fighting with high spirits, Yelu Yanxi was secretly wiping her tears.
He knew very well what the Song people were planning. But now he can't do anything. He fled from Linhuang Mansion to Datong Mansion, and the capital has been captured by others for more than a hundred years, what else can he do?
The Song people have already given enough face to help at this time, and it is also appropriate to take away one of the sixteen states of Yanyun.
