Chapter 681: The sky has changed, and the wind has risen
Blocked by Shao Dengyun in Beizhou, the people and horses gathered in the north by the imperial court could not be withdrawn, unless they fought with the people and horses of Beizhou.
When the news came back, Shang Jianxiong and the others were shocked, didn't the Shao family have a grudge against Niu? How could they also obey Shang Chaozong's orders?
The three major factions were also furious after hearing the news, and they were furious that Shang Jianxiong dared to secretly transfer people from the north behind the back of the three major factions, and once the northern defense line was loosened, would it be possible for South Korea to attack?
Shang Jianxiong and others originally wanted to cook the raw rice into mature rice, but the rice failed to get into the pot.
The three major factions are also glad that Shao Dengyun's sudden attack, the situation is obvious, Shang Jianxiong clearly acted regardless of the pressure of the three major factions, even if the three major factions can intercept on the way, it is difficult to intercept them, Lu Congsheng's thousands of troops and horses, the three major factions can't start a war with Lu Congsheng, right? At this time, it is not a good thing for their own people to start a war internally, but it is different with Shao Dengyun's Beizhou people and horses to intercept, and then the three major factions put pressure on the monks of various sects who accompanied the army around Lu Congsheng, and the people and horses of the imperial court in the north were immediately suppressed and could not retreat.
Shang Jianxiong's actions provoked the three major factions, and he was almost under semi-house arrest, and sent the disciples of the three major factions to follow him around the clock, completely monitoring all his words and deeds, and no longer giving him a chance to mess around.
If it weren't for the fact that the situation was afraid of forcing the royalists to jump over the wall in a hurry, the three major factions would be able to overturn Shang Jianxiong and replace him in a fit of anger.
After the news reached Meng Shanming's ears, Meng Shanming immediately took advantage of the situation and persuaded Gong Lince to let the people of the three major factions cooperate, once again control the grain and grass of the northern defense line, and ordered Shao Dengyun to forcibly take over the distribution.
Pinching the rations, it was difficult for the northerners to move indiscriminately.
At this point, the main force of the Yan court is all in the hands of Shang Chaozong, and the military power is in hand, and a big war with the Song State is imminent!
The Yan army's eastward crusade has all been assembled in the area of the Dongyu River.
Mengshan, who arrived at the front of the Dongyu River, kept moving, inspected along the river bank all the way, met local people who were hiding and even invited them to dinner, so as to inquire about the situation on both sides of the river.
Although it was not the first time that he had attacked the Dongyu River, he still did not dare to be sloppy, and he understood the situation in all aspects, and the more detailed the better.
Meng Shanming led an army of three million to gather in the Dongyu River, has been actively preparing to cross the river vehicle, may launch an attack at any time, the Song court that received the information suddenly became nervous, just because the commander of the enemy army is Meng Shanming, who left a shadow on the Song State and is still difficult to erase.
For this reason, Luo Zhao, the governor of the Song army, also suffered a lot of pressure, and he also knew the situation in the court, many people were saying that he Luo Zhao had misled the country and asked the army to retreat, Luo Zhao resisted the pressure and insisted on his own opinion, and the army still attacked in the direction of Yanjing.
Knowing that the three major factions of the Yan State had stood on the side of the Shang Dynasty, and learning that the Shang Dynasty Sect had mastered the soldiers and horses of the Yan State, the atmosphere on Luo Zhao's side suddenly became tense, and he also had a premonition that the Shang Dynasty Sect, which had concentrated its strength, was not an ornament, and he was afraid that he was going to start a decisive battle with him!
"Meng Shuai, it's been three days, we don't have much food and grass, why don't we attack yet?"
Meng Shanming, who was in a wheelchair, watched the clouds in the sky from time to time, as well as the direction of the beacon on the flagpole.
Gong Lince asked after he came, and he really couldn't help it, knowing that the grain and grass of the people and horses of the Eastern Expedition could not last for a few days, after the people and horses were in place, this old man actually rested, and he had no intention of attacking for a long time, did he have to run out of food and grass to find death?
Meng Shanming: "Wait a minute. ”
Gong Lince: "What are you waiting for?"
Meng Shanming: "Don't worry, it should be in the past two days." ”
As for his true intentions, he refused to reveal them, just because once the news leaked, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The news of the Yan army's delay in attacking also reached Luo Zhao's ears.
Also in an abandoned post station on the way, Luo Zhao stared at the map on the wall and pondered repeatedly, and finally muttered to himself, "What are you waiting for?
Su Yuanbai, who was wandering on the side, said: "I'm afraid that I was really expected by the Metropolitan Governor, Meng Shanming put on a feint posture, and really wanted to attract the Metropolitan Governor to turn around and fight quickly." The Governor of the Metropolitan did not fall for him, he was helpless, and now even if he wanted to chase him, he could no longer catch up with our army, and now he was in a dilemma by the river in the Eastern Regions. ”
Luo Zhao stared at the map and shook his head slightly, the big strategy was set by him, and he didn't want to shake the morale of the army by saying anything more to discourage him.
But the change in the situation made him realize that Yan Jun was afraid that he had already made up his mind to attack Song!
Compared with before, Shang Chaozong had completely controlled the main force of Yan State, but he had no intention of starting a war with him, the situation was already precarious for Yan State, how could the three major factions of Yan State sit idly by? It stands to reason that they must be persecuted, but the three major factions are on the side of Shang Chaozong, what does it mean? It shows that the three major factions have already understood that Shang Chaozong has other plans and have acquiesced.
Then the purpose is obvious, that is, the men and horses who have been clearly assembled on the river side of the Eastern Regions have attacked the Song Dynasty!
But he couldn't figure it out, how could the heavily defended Dongyu River be so easy to break through, what was Meng Shanming waiting for?
He felt that Meng Shanming must have some intention, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, but now that he was allowed to retreat, he had already run so far, and it seemed too late to go back.
Luo Zhao turned his head suddenly, "Once again, I will order the people along the river to strengthen the defense line along the river, and I must be careful with twelve points, and I must be cautious and cautious to prevent the Yan army from sneaking attack! Tell them that if anyone dares to make the slightest mistake, they will not be forgiven! If any abnormality is discovered, it will be reported to me immediately." ”
"Yes!" the herald commanded.
Several people in the hall glanced at each other, and they all heard the strong worry in Luo Zhao's words.
Dong Yinglai hesitated: "Two million heavy soldiers are guarding according to the danger, waiting for work, and the three million heavy soldiers of the Yan Kingdom want to cross the river and fight dangerously, and there is almost no possibility of success." What's more, the Dadu Governor planned first, and the large and small ships along the river were all pulled to Jiangdong by the Dadu Governor, and it was impossible for the Yan army's three million men and horses to find so many suitable boats to cross the river in a short period of time, and it was not a joke that they wanted to arrange for millions of people to cross the river and kill them just by relying on those wooden platoons?
How could Meng Shanming not know the truth we understand? Luo Zhao's worries in his heart were not easy to say, so he could only tell, "Meng Shanming should not be underestimated, be cautious!"
That's right, it's always wrong to be careful, and everyone nodded.
Wen You knew Luo Zhao, and he saw something from Luo Zhao's strange appearance, and was about to ask when no one was around.
Luo Zhao, who turned around and looked at the map again, was depressed in his heart, and the worried look in his eyes was difficult to hide, and he secretly cursed Wu Gongling again.
Hating Wu Gongling should not have caused trouble to the east as soon as possible, and if it continues to drag on, it will drag down the Yan State internally, and it would be better for the Song State to send troops again.
......
The sky has changed, and the wind has risen.
Meng Shanming, who was consulting the map in the Chinese military tent, heard the whistling sound of the wind blowing through the cracks in the tent, slowly raised his head, looked at the flying curtain, and his eyes suddenly narrowed.
The paper on the account was blown by the wind, and a sergeant immediately appeared and fixed the curtain.
Meng Shanming said in a deep voice, "Push me out." ”
Luo Da'an, who was reading a book on the side, immediately put down the book, got up and pushed Meng Shanming out of the account.
As soon as he came out of the tent, the whirring wind blew Meng Shanming's clothes and Meng Shanming's beard flew wildly.
Meng Shanming looked up at the beacon on the flagpole, and then looked up at the sky, only to see that the sky was dark and oppressive, and thick dark clouds were rolling in.
"It's finally here, it's going to rain heavily!" Meng Shan muttered.
With such a weather, it was naturally going to rain, and not long after, the dark clouds were in the sky, and the crackling raindrops began to fall.
The sergeants around him ran around, except for those on duty, who ran back to the tent to hide from the rain, and even if they were on duty, they quickly raised their shields to block their heads.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and soon the sky and the earth were foggy, and there was only the sound of rushing rain.
It was getting dark early......
In South Korea, which is facing off across the river from Bukju, the sun is still shining, and the army is camped.
The Korean Grand Sima Jinjue in the Chinese military tent also stood in front of the map and pondered the battle of the Yan and Song Dynasty with several generals.
"What the hell is this Mengshan Ming running out of grain and grass, but standing still by the river?"
After receiving the news, Jin Jue has also been pondering this matter, he is much stronger than Shang Yongzhong, and the big battle is imminent, so he will go to the front line to command.
A general said: "Luo Zhao will not attack rashly, he has already left a back hand, the defense along the river is impregnable, and a heavy defense is arranged, Meng Shanming is unlikely to break through, will it be helpless and pretending there?"
Jin Jue's face was dignified, and he shook his head and said: "Is Meng Shanming a pretending person? I fought with him back then, and suffered several big losses from him, if it wasn't for the mage to help me get out in time, I would have lost my life in his hands. Luo Zhao has never understood Meng Shanming's methods, so he ignores it so rampantly, I am afraid that he will suffer a big loss!"
Another general said: "Luo Zhao's arrangement can not be said to be imstrict, watching Luo Zhao's actions in the territory of Yan State, the use of soldiers is very lawful, it is very extraordinary, and the battles are fought very beautifully, it can be seen that Luo Zhao is not a mediocre talent, he may suffer a loss, and he will not suffer a big loss, right?"
Jin Jue shook his head, noncommittal.
At this moment, a document entered, presented a letter in both hands, and reported: "My lord, a letter from the imperial court reminds you that there is civil strife in Beizhou. ”
Jin Jue sighed, took the letter to check it, the letter pointed out that Shang Jianxiong and Shang Chaozong had a serious disagreement, Beizhou people almost fought with the Yan court, the relationship between the two sides was very stiff, the Korean court meant, is it possible to take advantage of the situation to send troops?
After reading the letter, it was handed over to the generals to read, and Jin Jue then asked, "What do you think?"
What else can the generals think, seeing that the Song army is rampant in the Yan country, they can't help it for a long time, and the general arches his hand and says: "My lord, the Song country has already sent troops, if we send troops again, the Yan country will die, and our side will win!"
"Yes, my lord, Luo Zhao is staking land in the territory of Yan Kingdom, whoever occupies it now is who's own, and we have no reason to let people spit it out afterwards, it's time to send troops." ”
After listening to everyone's opinions, Jin Jue still waved his hand, "Shao Dengyun is not an easy person, the timing is not right, wait, it is better to be steady, it is better to be steady." ”
This is also his reply to the imperial court.
After the generals left the Chinese military tent, some people muttered to their colleagues to vent their dissatisfaction, "If you don't send troops at this time, when will you wait?" Do you want to wait until you look back and feel that you have lost the territory and then you can't grab it from the Song army?"
"Hey, don't you know that our big Sima is famously stable!"
