Chapter 1416
Yang Zhi paid attention to the Luoyang battlefield, because the area east of Luoyang is the main road from Guanzhong to Huaixi, and it must not be lost, Yang Zhi stayed in Tongguan for a night, and after discussing with Wang Shan and others, Yang Zhi used a letter to Zhao Kai; one is to remind Zhao Kai that he needs to prepare to go out of the customs to fight, even if he and Zhao Kai push again, it is almost impossible not to send troops when Luoyang loses the lonely city of Bianliang.
The other is to give Zhao Kai an idea, Yang Zhi's goal is Ren Dejing; Ren Dejing is not only an important minister of Western Xia, but also the father of the Empress Dowager, and now Ren Dejing is a prisoner of the Dingbei Army, Yang Zhi hopes that Zhao Kai can take advantage of this matter to take Xingzhou in one fell swoop, although Western Xia asked for help from the Jin State, and Jin Wushu relied on his strong forces to kill in the clouds, but was stopped by Yue Fei and Xu Huiyan, even if Shuozhou was in a hurry, the two sides fought on the whole.
With Yue Fei stabilizing the battle situation in Huozhou, the Dingbei Army can still free up its hands to continue to attack Western Xia, once the city of Xingzhou is broken, Jin Wushu can only retreat with regrets, and the problem of whether to send troops to the east can naturally be solved. Soon after Yang Zhi asked Kuaima to take away the letter, Wang Shan came in a hurry, saying that there were small groups of cavalry around Luoyang, and Zhai Xing's letter was to complain about the lack of war horses.
"Flying Cavalry Battalion?" Yang Zhi asked casually, in his heart, such an act is not the Jin Army, and only the Flying Cavalry Battalion can be under Liu Yu, and the other teams are really unspeakable; Wang Shan gently put his own detailed report in front of Yang Zhi: "Things are indeed a little troublesome, those people are very familiar with Luoyang, and they should be the people who surrendered to the Jin Army in the original Luoyang area!"
"Huh?" Yang Zhi was stunned, if this is the case, then it will be really troublesome; Yang Zhi looked at the information, thought about it, and said: "Judging from the information I have collected about the Flying Cavalry Battalion, this unit is in charge of Guo Jing, and its combat effectiveness and loyalty far exceed that of ordinary signing troops, and its combat effectiveness is only more powerful than that of the non-Jurchen army in the Jin Army." ”
After listening to Yang Zhi's description of the battlefield of the Flying Cavalry Battalion in the river, Wang Shan was really shocked this time; according to Wang Shan's impression, this should be the closest to Yang Zhi's secret thunderbolt operation among all of them, and this unit really cannot be underestimated. Wang Shan's face became solemn: "In other words, if we want to send cavalry to disarm this army, it may not work." ”
"Yes, we can't send a large-scale army now, Zhai Xing's cavalry is not vulnerable at all, he probably doesn't want to pay too much sacrifice for this, and the war horses are sent over, just to facilitate their escape. Yang Zhi pondered and said, "Let the fine work not get too close to the flying cavalry camp, but also don't let them reach Tongguan with their claws." ”
Wang Shan said: "The fifty miles before Tongguan Pass are the scope of our inspection, and I will let Tian Qi and others lead the team, and two hundred horsemen will patrol each time." ”
It's just that Wanyan Zongwang still checked Yang Zhi's estimation of the speed of the Jin army, defeated Guan Shigu under the city of Bianliang, killed 30,000 Song troops in a battle, broke through the outer castles, and completely made the western army defending Bianliang lose the courage to counterattack; Outside the city, the banners of the Jin army and the signing army were unfurled, and the 200,000 horses did not go down the village continuously, but were arranged in a staggered manner on the castle and the traffic artery.
More than 500 cavalry of the Jin army were stationed beside the Mabian River, and apart from the sails of the Dengzhou Feiyuzhai Naval Army, there was no ordinary merchant ship in sight on the river; the Great Song Dynasty freight mainly relied on waterways, and the Bianhe River ran diagonally through Bianliang, the Yellow River in the west, the Huaishui River in the east, and the canal to the south led directly to the Yangtze River.
He had something on his mind, and he didn't want to enjoy this oppressive river scene, and his fingers kept fiddling with the reins; Wanyan Zongwang turned his head to look, ignoring the chatter of the other generals around him, and only asked, "What's going on in the back?"
Yes, the monk looked at the majestic city wall not far away and replied: "The grain and grass in the city can still last for more than half a year, if the grain and grass cannot be destroyed, there is no layout like Guo Jing, and the rest is a strong attack." ”
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the eyes of a good monk, and replied lightly: "No need, there are still more than 100,000 western troops in the city, which have been prepared for a long time, and there is no shortage of equipment; Presumably, Zhang Jun did not dare to come out, and capturing Yingtianfu and Luoyang would be the next strategy. ”
Yes, the monk still continued to look at the city wall, and did not neglect the topic of Yan Zongwang at all: "Yang Zhi will definitely go out of the pass for reinforcements, and the Golden Vulture side is also in a stalemate, do you want to continue to attack the river." ”
Yes, the monk just asked casually, Wang Yan returned to Taihang Mountain, the banner of the eight-character army fluttered again, threatening Weizhou and other places, and the Jin army in Bailu Mountain did not dare to leave at will; Wanyan Zongwang was about to reply, when a shout suddenly came from the boats on the Bianhe River, and the Jin army and the signed army scattered by the Bianhe River couldn't help but stand up to see what was going on the boat.
Wanyan Zongwang waved his hand, a flag officer galloped to the river, and soon saw two small boats sailing to the shore, I don't know what the people on the boat said, the flag officer quickly came back and said: "When the Song army retreated, a part of the big ships sank to the bottom of the river, and now the water level of the Bianhe River has begun to drop, affecting the passage of our ships." ”
Yes, the monk breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, and Wanyan Zongwang smiled and said: "Zhang Jun finally has a look, no wonder it is said that the battlefield is a place to train people, Zhang Jun has become proficient in tactics from repeated failures, and he has become more and more courageous as a general." It doesn't matter, and I don't plan to attack the city by water, so let's all move and see if there is anything we can use in the city. ”
Wanyan Zongwang is not sure, it is that he himself has no confidence, with Yang Zhi's demonstration, after Wang Shu arrived in Bianliang, he has been very close to the detailed work; whether it is the flying cavalry camp or the fine work arranged by Wanyan Zongwang himself, there are very few that can play a key role, otherwise Wanyan Zongwang would have already formulated a plan for a surprise attack. Wanyan Zongwang is now pinning his hopes on a good monk, Li Shining has been preparing for such a long time, there should always be a few characters who have not surfaced yet.
The good monk said depressedly: "Lord Wang, don't you know that after Ji Wuliu rebelled, a part of us in Bianliang became Yang Zhi's people, and all of them who did not agree were eliminated by Yang Zhi's identity. ”
Of course, the good monk understood why Ji Wuliu rebelled, Ji Wuliu helped Li Shining to fight for the world of the Great Song Dynasty, instead of surrendering to the Jin people, when the good monk gave up his original intention, Ji Wuliu naturally parted ways.
