Embarrassed!
It's so embarrassing!
More than 100,000 troops came here with great interest, but they didn't know that the other party didn't even send a single soldier, so it was difficult for them to move an inch. (Please search for the fastest novel website!)
It's just a disappointment.
Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has never been controlled against the Yanyun region, which is a very sad thing in the Han dynasty, because if you don't have Yanyun, then you don't have the Great Wall, you are completely exposed to the vision of the northern nomads, and people will come to fight you whenever they want.
Of course, the Song Dynasty also wanted to recapture Yanyunlai, so it fought with the Liao State in this Yanyun area for decades, and after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, it wanted to return to Zhuo, Ying, and Mo Prefectures, but the main strategic places in the Yanyun region were still in the hands of the Liao State.
After the fall of the Liao Dynasty, the Song Dynasty finally controlled half of the Yanyun region, but before it could consolidate its rule here, it was taken back by the Jin State.
Li Qi's dispatch of troops this time can be said to be the third time that the Song Dynasty has waged war against the Yanyun region.
Don't look at the people of the Song Dynasty always say that this Yanyun area belongs to us, but in fact, Li Qi sent troops this time, the time and place are favorable, and they are not on his side, don't talk about him, even the seed master Dao does not know much about the geography of the Yanyun area, especially Yunzhou, since the general Yang Ye, the Song Dynasty has never stepped into Yunzhou half a step, this seems to be the first time.
The seed master has lived for most of his life, and it is the first time he has come to Yunzhou, so he does not know much about the geography of Yunzhou.
To say that it has been raining heavily in the past few days, not to mention Jiangnan, even Kaifeng is often encountered, Li Qi also thought that he would encounter rising water when observing the Hunhe River, but he thought that this little bit of rain was not enough to prevent them from crossing the river, but he never expected that it would rise like this, and the river would become the sea. The nearby villages and fields were submerged, and there was almost no end in sight, and the river was so fast that it was scary to look at.
A group of people are staring at each other, which is very funny.
At this moment, Li Qi saw a group of people standing on the opposite side of the "sea" from a distance, because it was too far away. Even if you take the clairvoyance, you can't see it too clearly, but Li Qichai can guess who is on the other side, it must be Wanyan Zonghan or Wanyan Zongwang, who came here to see his jokes.
There is no way, God will help Jin Guo. Li Qi could only lead the army to retreat to a small nearby village and set up camp, because the people here knew that there was going to be a war, so they chose to avoid it.
This first attack was in vain.
But they also learned their lesson, and they quickly sent people around to find out when the flood would recede.
I managed to find a few fishermen, but it was okay to ignore them. It's even more demoralizing when you ask!
According to these fishermen, the original upper reaches of the Sangqian River were on the Loess Plateau in the northwest region, and once the water rose, a large amount of river sand rushed from the upper reaches to this point, so that the sand content of this section of the Sangqian River was already jaw-dropping.
This is the main reason for the perennial water rise here.
When the Liao State ruled Yunzhou, it repeatedly sent people to build rivers to reduce the water potential slightly, but in the past twenty years. Due to the politics of the Liao State, the officials only care about pleasure, who cares about what river you have, so that this Sangqian River is in disrepair, the flood is getting more and more fierce year by year, and in recent years, it is due to the continuous wars here. The river has been severely damaged and no one has taken care of it, so much so that at this time of year, it only rains for a few days in a row. There must be a rise in water here, but only because of the size.
Due to a few heavy rains a few days ago, the water potential was already relatively turbulent, plus it has been raining continuously in the past few days, it has become what it is now, as for when the flood recedes, it will be seven or eight days at least, and half a month at most, mainly depending on how long the rain will fall.
What's even worse is that if you want to cross the Sangqian River, you have to take a long, long detour.
If this had been waited so long, the reinforcements of the Jin army would have arrived even on donkeys.
After all, man is irreversible!
"Report! The general sent a message to him, because the water was too strong, if he forcibly sent a ship to come, it would be dangerous. β
Li Qi sighed and said, "I know." β
This was expected for a long time.
Yue Fei frowned and said, "Even if the old general sends the ship up, then Wanyan Zonghan only needs to send 10,000 people to guard the shore, and when we cross the river and land on the shore, it will not be too late to come up and annihilate us." β
The seed master said: "Yue Fei is right, in this case, forcibly crossing the river is a very unknown choice. β
Of course, Li Qi also knew that even if Han Shizhong's Fuzhou sailor came, he didn't dare to cross the river rashly, and said, "Then what now?" β
The seed master said: "Now it seems that it is impossible to take Yunzhou in one go, and we sent troops this time, not only to recover the lost territory in Hebei, but also to recover the six states of Yanshan Prefecture, in addition to Ulzhou, Yingzhou and other places, I think it is almost the same." The reinforcements of the Jin army are about to arrive, or they have already arrived, and we have no reinforcements, so the old man thinks that we should take advantage of this flood to quickly retreat and consolidate the defense lines of Yingzhou, Daizhou, Shuozhou, and Ulzhou. β
The rest of the soldiers also nodded, since they can't take this Yunzhou, they should retreat, otherwise there are more and more reinforcements from the Jin army, and it is too dangerous to stay here.
Li Qi pondered for a while, and suddenly shook his head and said, "No." The situation is not yet to the point of a bad withdrawal of troops. β
Seed Master Dao frowned and said, "Then what do you mean?" β
Li Qi said with a smile: "Since we are here, how can we retreat lightly, when we first negotiated, we gave all the money in Yunzhou, and it is natural for us to be here, if we can occupy them all, it is of course the best, if not, I will also divide half of it." β
"Divide it in half?"
Li Qi nodded and said: "Yes, it is divided from the Sangqian River, one person and a half, this Hunyuan County is my Datong Mansion of the Great Song Dynasty." β
He said that it was half, but in fact it only occupied one-third of Yunzhou's territory, and most of the area, including Datong Mansion, was still under the control of the Jin people.
The seed master pondered for a moment, and haha: "This is a good idea, the southeast of the Sangqian River, east of Ulzhou, south of Yingzhou, Daizhou, this division is really suitable." β
Yue Fei said: "Now that the flood is very fierce, even if their reinforcements arrive, they will not dare to cross the river, we can take the opportunity to build a fortress and dig a trench on the bank of the river." When the flood waters receded, they did not dare to attack rashly. β
"Well said, let's do it."
Li Qi nodded and smiled, and said, "Oh, I have to send a letter to the Zhejia Army, so that they can guard the Shuozhou border and don't venture again." We're just going to spend it with them. β
"Yes."
Li Qi was a real person, and he said that we would do it, and on the same day, he ordered the soldiers to build fortresses on each of the main roads. There are more than 100,000 people here, and that's a bargain.
Now, on the contrary, it is Li Qi who hopes that the flood will recede later.
To be honest, with the current composition of this army. If you want to attack Yunzhou, it is indeed a bit risky, but if you want to talk about defense, everyone is an expert!
As the chief engineer of the defense system, and Yue Fei commanded on the front line, everyone braved the rain to step up the construction of defense equipment. Fortunately, Hunyuan County originally had a complete set of defense equipment, which relieved Li Qi of a lot of pressure.
On the north bank of the Sangqian River.
Wanyan Zonghan led 20,000 horses to garrison here, if the Song army dared to cross the river, then he would definitely be very welcome, of course, he also understood that as long as the Song army did not break his brain, it would be impossible to force the river under any circumstances.
Originally, he planned to be stationed in Hunyuan County. Tried not to let the Song army enter Yunzhou one step, but Wanyan Xiyin suddenly rushed back from the front line, and asked him to quickly retreat to the other side of the Sangqian River, because he knew this place very well, and seeing this rain, he expected that the Sangqian River was very likely to rise, if you were stationed in Hunyuan County. Once the Sangqian River rises, then you will have no way to retreat, and it will also cut off your connection with the southwestern front. At that time, the Song army attacked from both sides, and it could not be stopped at all.
Moreover, this flood can block the Song army very well, and when the reinforcements come, they can solve the danger of Yunzhou.
After hearing this, Yan Zonghan immediately decided to let Wanyan Xiyin lead the 30,000 main forces to the southwest front, and fight with the 20,000 main forces of Wanyan Yinshuke, and strive to defeat the Zhejia army.
And he himself led 20,000 soldiers to retreat to the northwest bank of the Sangqian River before the flood came.
"Return to the capital, the Song army has retreated."
After a while, another sentry came in and said, "Enlighten the capital, our reinforcements will arrive in three days." β
Wanyan Zonghan laughed when he heard this, and said, "God really helps me." Within three days, the Song army will definitely retreat, and then we can launch a large-scale counterattack, and Wanyan Zongwang will attack on both sides to recapture Yanshan Mansion. β
A staff member named Gao Qingyi beside him said: "Dutong, don't be careless, if we send troops to Yanshan Mansion, less will be useless, and if there are more, if tens of thousands of Song soldiers in the southwest take advantage of the situation, Yunzhou will be in danger, and we may be attacked by the Song army from both sides." β
Wanyan Zonghan asked modestly: "Then I don't know what Mr. Gao has built." β
He attaches the most importance to righteousness in his life, and he regards this Gao Qingyi as a confidant, and respectfully calls him Mr., in history, Wanyan Zonghan was killed by Gao Qingyi by traitors, and died of anger, the two can be described as a pair of good friends who have passed their lives, therefore, Wanyan Zonghan's opinion on Gao Qingyi is very important.
Gao Qingyi said: "The most capable army of the Song army is in the northwest, the Heshuo army is already in name only, and there is no army in Hebei that is the opponent of the general, this forbidden army was originally from the capital, and sooner or later it will have to retreat, then Yanshan Mansion is equivalent to being alone, and the second prince will definitely go to seize Yanshan Mansion." We should consolidate Yunzhou now, and after this forbidden army retreats, we can first send troops to annihilate the Song army in Yingzhou and Shuozhou, and then plot against Taiyuan, if we control the northwest, we can't help but be able to hit the Song army hard, and we can also cut off the grain route of the Song Dynasty, once Taiyuan is lost, we can take Kaifeng directly, as for Yanshan Mansion, even if we capture it, the emperor will not let us control the entire Yanyun region, and then we will definitely let the second prince go to guard Yanshan Mansion, then why don't we let the second prince attack, We took advantage of this opportunity to take the Northwest. β
Wanyan Zonghan is good at the military aspect, but not very good in politics, and Cai Jingna are two extremes, in this regard, he has always listened to Gao Qingyi's JianyΓ¬, thought for a moment, and also understood what Gao Qingyi meant, he and Wanyan Zongwang mastered the military power, and it was already very much Cheng dΓΉ on the weakening of the emperor's power, no matter how stupid Wan Yan Sheng is, he will not be stupid enough to let you control the military power alone, then what should I do as the emperor, I should forget it for you, so, Wan Yan Sheng will definitely balance the power of the two of them, these three people are equal to a triangle, Mutual containment, once the balance is broken, then no one can control the situation, nodded and said: "Mr. is reasonable, just listen to Mr., as soon as the reinforcements arrive, we will send troops to Shuozhou." β
But after a while, another sentry walked in and said, "Qiyu Dutong, the Song army went and returned, and came to the other side again." β
ps: The second watch is delivered, asking for a monthly pass.
