Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiebao had already climbed up the high-rise building together. The sky was completely bright at this time, and there were no trees or tall buildings on both sides of the Yellow River in this area, so the view was excellent. The two of them were condescending, taking in all the 30,000 to 40,000 Song troops who were marching in formation.
The appearance of these Song troops was extremely neat, especially the infantry among them, which could actually move forward in a hollow square formation, and could also collect all the vehicles piled with baggage into the hollow square formation.
It is not easy to maintain formation when marching in a hollow square formation, not to mention that it is filled with baggage vehicles. The infantry, chariots and horses, as well as some knights on horseback, as well as many accompanying auxiliary horses, all moved in an orderly manner without any confusion... These are undoubtedly elites!
Following these eight infantry phalanxes were more than 10,000 cavalrymen, one man and two horses. These cavalry looked a bit strange. Although they were cavalry, they also formed a square formation as strict as infantry. One hundred cavalry units marched slowly. Moreover, these cavalry neither cleared the way nor protected the infantry, but slowly followed behind the infantry.
In addition, these cavalrymen all carried thin and long long-line guns. The length did not look like carbine, but more like an infantry's spear.
Could it be that these people were not cavalry, but infantry advancing on horseback?
Wanyan Loushi had already seen the lineup of the Song army. He turned around and asked Wanyan Xiebao: "Xiebao, what do you think of these Song troops?"
"Weird!" Wanyan Xianbao said, "It's extremely weird! There are clearly cavalry, but infantry is used to clear the way...and there are no rangers to cover the front, rear, left and right. It can be seen that their military formations are advancing and retreating in an orderly manner, and their demeanor is calm. , clearly an elite army!
Recruitment, do you want to send troops to test it? "
Wanyan Loushi shook his head slightly, "No need now, they haven't left the camp yet... Loushi, where do you think they are going?"
"Wulahai City!" Wanyan Xiebao said, "They are heading north along the Yellow River. Their goal can only be Wulahai City...not necessarily to attack the city. Maybe they want to join forces with Yelu Dashi at the foot of Black Mountain. .
Wu Lahai City guards the largest mountain pass in central Montenegro. If Yelu Dashi comes across the desert, it is most comfortable to take this mountain pass to enter the Hetao grassland at the foot of Heishan... If Dashi wants to bypass Heishan and go south from the west of Heishan, then his army will continue to Traveling more than 500 miles through the arid desert was very difficult for the Dashi troops who had just traveled through thousands of miles of desert! "
Wanyan Xiebao continued to think: "These Song troops must have brought a lot of iron weapons and explosive pots. As long as they give these things to Yelu Dashi, the Mobei grassland will be in chaos!"
Wanyan Loushi nodded and agreed with Xie Bao's analysis. Isn't Zhao Kai's aggressive war in the northwest this time just to join forces with Yelu Dashi in Mobei in order to disrupt the rear of the Jin Kingdom? The river grassland at the foot of the Black Mountain is actually a "gift". Whether or not you get it has little to do with the overall situation.
Besides, if the Great Jin Kingdom is defeated, not to mention Black Mountain, even the fertile grassland at the foot of Yin Mountain, wouldn’t it also be in Zhao Kai’s pocket?
"This is probably what Zhao Kai planned!" Wanyan Loushi said, "He must know that we have no bargains here, and we can't take the grassland at the foot of the Black Mountain, so he settled for the next best thing... But he After all, he has violated a military taboo! His troops are not as many as ours, and now they are divided into two. It is difficult not to lose! Xie Bao, how do you want to fight?"
Wanyan Xiebao knew that Lou Shi was setting a question to test him. If he could get the support of Lou Shi, the most powerful general of Dajin, would he still be afraid that he would not be able to become Guolun Bojilie in the future?
"Recruit," Wanyan Xiebao thought for a while, "The lion fights the rabbit with all his strength! The success or failure of our Kingdom of Jin all depends on this battle... So we must fight well! We should gather together Most of the troops will rely on the terrain on the southern slope of Black Mountain to fight the Song army near Wu Lahai City!"
"Okay!" Wanyan Loushi nodded solemnly, "I also have this intention! Xie Bao, then why don't you go to Wu Lahai City and present the plan for the decisive battle of merger to the emperor... Ask him to be a decision!"
"Okay, junior, let's set off immediately!"
From Jin Bing's Hechakou Camp to Wu Lahai City, you can walk in a straight line on the grassland, and you can reach it by walking 120 miles on a flat road.
Wanyan Xiebao led a group of guards, each with three horses. They never stopped, but kept changing horses. In the evening of the same day, they arrived at Wu Lahai City, the residence where Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin Dynasty was begging to buy, and then in a decorated In the magnificent palace, I saw Wanyan Wu Qingmai, who was hosting a banquet to entertain his good son-in-law.
Of course, there is only one son-in-law who can make Wu Qimai put aside all his military duties and host a banquet in front of the army (Wu Qimai has many daughters, so of course he also has many sons-in-law), and that is Wu Qimai's godson, the fifteenth prince of Dajin. , the King of Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zonggu, the Prince Consort of the Golden Sword, was appointed.
As a vassal monarch, Wanyan Zonggou led his troops to serve in front of the Montenegro Army.
He only got married to Wu Qimai's daughter Wanyanyan in February this year in his feudal capital Xuzhou...On the tenth day after the wedding, he handed over the affairs of state to his wife Wanyanyan Wanyan Zongbi, who commanded the army along with Dajin East Road and supervised the state affairs of the Song Dynasty, took Kong Yanzhou and Liu Lin with him, led eight thousand troops, and brought a large amount of property to Wu Lahai City to work for the Dajin Kingdom!
Of course, his life must be sold!
With Wanyan Zonggou's political wisdom, of course he knew that he could not stay in the feudal country... The Jin people would not be at ease if they stayed in the feudal country, and being far away from the center of Dajin also meant that they could not pat their father-in-law's horse all the time. Shit, it will also give others the opportunity to slander.
Therefore, the safest way is to hand over the country to his wife Wanyan Yan to govern... She is Wanyan Wu Qimai's daughter, so if she is allowed to govern the country, Wu Qimai will definitely feel at ease.
Moreover, the Supervisor Wanyan Zongbi was more polite to Wanyan Yan than to Wanyan Zonggou. Wanyan Zonggou was a prisoner captured by Wanyan Zongbi, so he wasn't just a casual bully? And Wanyanyan has fourteen brothers, fifteen sisters and fifteen brothers-in-law... Wanyan Zongbi doesn't dare to offend them all.
After handing over the country to his wife, he can go to his father-in-law and flatter him every day... It is safe to flatter him every day!
"What? The Song people divided their troops and went north? Hahaha..." Wanyan Wu Qimai, who was a little drunk, burst into laughter after listening to Wanyan Xiebao's latest news about the Song army.
Wanyan Wu Qimai is in a good mood today - he met his adopted son and son-in-law Wanyan Zonggou, and he also got a lot of delicious and fun gifts. Can he be in a bad mood?
Once you are in a good mood and drink too much, it is easier to look at problems optimistically.
Wu Qimai, whose brain was occupied by feudal optimism, smiled and said: "Even if Zhao Kai doesn't divide his troops, I will unite the whole army and go south to behead his dog! Xie Bao, do you know where Zhao Kai is now?"
What?
Wanyan Xianbao was stunned, don't you know where Zhao Kai is?
The military battle reports from Hechakou are sent to Wu Lahai City every day. Every battle report will mention the location of Zhao Kai... Have you, the emperor, read those battle reports?
"Your Majesty," of course Wanyan Xiebao couldn't ask this question. He was not his father Wanyan Zonghan, so he had to repeat what was mentioned more than once in the battle report, "Zhao Kai's six black flags and two white flags are still there." In Xingzhou City, there are two general tooth flags in front of the army at Hechakou, as well as a recognition flag under the command of Du, a recognition flag for the pacification envoy, and a recognition flag for the pacification deputy envoy. These three recognition flags under the control of Yue Fei and Xiang respectively belong to Ke and Li Xiaozhong.”
"Two generals' tooth flags?" Wanyan Zonggou interjected and asked, "Who is the commander-in-chief of the Song Army at Hechakou?"
Wanyan Xiebao shook his head and said: "If Zhao Kai is really not in front of the army, then the Song army at Hechakou should not have a commander before... But now one of the generals Yaqi has followed the Song army heading north and left Sanchakou. Yes. Leaving with this fang flag is Yue Fei’s recognition flag.”
"Yue Fei?" When Wanyan Zonggou heard this name, he felt an inexplicable evil feeling in his heart.
"Zonggou, do you know this Yue Fei?" Wanyan Wu asked.
"Father," Wanyan Zonggou said, "I don't know Yue Fei... but I once heard Qin Hui talk about this person."
"How is this person?" Wanyan Wu asked.
Wanyan Zonggou said: "This person... is not a good person."
"Not a good person?" Wanyan Wu Qimai laughed, "How can there be a good person who leads troops to kill people?"
His words had a wide impact, including himself!
Wanyan Zonggou also laughed bitterly, because he was also a general who led troops, and of course he was not a good person...
Zonggou added: "According to what Qin Hui said, Yue Feigang was very tough on his superiors and extremely harsh on his subordinates. He did not win much military morale... He was also domineering and arrogant, and he was arrogant."
After listening to his words, Wanyan Wu Qimai felt the same way... This Yue Fei is indeed not good! Just as bad as the erections under his hands!
Think about it, Zhao Kai only has one Yue Fei under his command, but he has a group of Yue Fei under him. It’s so boring to be the emperor! How great it would be if the people below were all the same as Zonggu!
Just think about it, it is impossible to do it... If it is really done, the Kingdom of Jin will be finished!
At this time, Wu Qimai's drunkenness had passed a little and his mind was clearer, so he asked Xiebao: "Xiebao, what do you and Lou Shi mean? Are you going to fight Yue Fei, or are you going to fight Xiang Ke and Li Xiaozhong?"
"Hit Yue Fei!" Wanyan Xianbao said, "We can put Yue Fei near Wulahai City, then gather all the troops and annihilate him in one fell swoop!"
"Okay!" Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded, "Since it's Lou Shi's intention, it can't be wrong!"
Wanyan Lou's ability to use troops is something that the arrogant and arrogant Bo Jilie admires very much, and of course it is unmistakable.
Xie Bao said again at this time: "Both the ministers and Zhao Zhao believe that before the decisive battle, it is best to test the strength of the Song army."
Wu Qimai nodded again, "Okay... Wuli sister, you can take your troops to test Yue Fei!"
