"Dad, what your Majesty said makes sense!" Wanyan Heng rarely reached an agreement with Wanyan Liang, "Only if Puluhu can use more force to attract the main force of the Southern Army to the northern front, can we have You can catch the Southerners off guard on the Western Front!"
He knew that it was impossible for Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggu to hand over their armies to their father's command. Several big bosses within the Wu Qimai faction could still borrow troops from each other, but if outsiders wanted to borrow troops, there was no way!
Of course, the Aguda group is also like this. Now Wanyan Zongbi's men gathered the armies of Wanyan Qi, Wanyan Dan, and Wanyan Yong (son of Wanyan Zongfu), as well as the army left by the late Wanyan Zongjun. But it was impossible for Zong Pan and Zong Gu to command the armies of the descendants of the Aguda sect.
Therefore, it is impossible to transfer Zong Pan and Zong Gu's troops to Zong Bi. The only way is to let them fight well on the Eastern Front!
Take your old money and go out and fight!
But can they agree?
"Dad," Wan Yanheng saw that his father was silent and said, "The 150,000 people we have are hard-earned. Most of the capital of each family has been used. If they are all spent in western Liaoning..."
Wanyan Zongbi pondered and said, "It seems that we can only ask Aoben (Wanyan Zongqian) to take action." He turned back to Wanyan Liang and said, "Your Majesty, let's go back to Guangning quickly and have a good discussion with your father!"
"Songshan Beacon Mountain Qili River Daughter River"
Wanyan Zongqian held a candle and looked at the map that had just been hung up in the palace of King Liang in Guangning City. To the west of Jinzhou, a large number of small red circles symbolizing the Song Army have been marked.
Wanyan Zongbi and Wanyan Zongmin both stood behind him. Among them, Wanyan Zongbi was holding a candlestick in his hand, lighting it up for his imperial father Bo Jilie.
Emperor Dad Bo Jilie was the honorific title Wanyan Zongqian gave to himself not long ago. He also knew that he was dying. This battle of Jinzhou was likely to be the last battle he commanded. And this battle is also related to Dai Jin's survival, so he must go all out. And to go all out, you must have enough authority! But where does this authority come from? The Kingdom of Jin was not a country with centralized monarchy in the hands of Agugu. Otherwise, how could Wu Qimai be the emperor?
Aguda had so many sons, and some of them were very outstanding. If Dajin was a centralized monarch, how could the throne be passed on to his brothers?
And Wu Qimai also had no way to centralize power, otherwise he wouldn't have been beaten, and when he became the emperor, he would be spanked by his ministers, no one else!
Similarly, Wu Qimai could not pass the throne to his sons. Not counting Wanyan Zongguo, Wu Qimai had fourteen sons! How can I get Wan Yanliang in my turn?
Wanyan Liang was also not a centralized monarch. In the original history, when the Kingdom of Jin passed into Wanyan Liang's hands, the monarch's power was already very great, almost centralized. Otherwise, why would Wan Yanliang kill so many heroes and clan members?
But history has changed, because the rise of Zhao Kai has caused the Kingdom of Jin to lose the necessary conditions to move from tribal feudalism to monarchy centralization - let the monarch have a lot of money!
Originally, most of the taxes from the Central Plains and Han Dynasty and the annual coins of the Southern Song Dynasty would flow into the pockets of the Jurchen court, which gave the Jurchen emperor enough financial resources to strengthen centralization of power. From this perspective, Wan Yanliang killed the Jurchen clan generals. The premise is that the Song Dynasty is really cowardly.
Now the Song Dynasty has become particularly fierce in the hands of Zhao Kai, a fierce man, which makes it impossible for the Dajin court to obtain huge income. The Dajin court, which has little money, has to delegate power in order to drive the tribal leaders below to work hard.
In fact, Zhao Kai did this when he had no money. However, due to the long-term centralization of power in the Song Dynasty, the feudal tradition has become relatively weak. The ministers and generals below are not very good at feudalism, and they have not become big warlords on one side. Ambition. Therefore, when Zhao Kai delegated power to the middle and lower levels, they, the honorable ministers and generals, did not ask for power or territory from Zhao Kai.
This allowed Zhao Kai's decentralization to achieve good results without getting out of control. Of course, this is also because he is the actual founding monarch and has a particularly high prestige. The following general will be an official. My brother is particularly convinced.
The Dajin side was originally very feudal, and the group of "Da Wanyan" below all had their own personal soldiers, some of whom had more than one. In his later years, Wu Qimai had to delegate power to the "Da Wanyan" below because he lost the Battle of Montenegro. As a result, these "Da Wanyan" all swelled into kings of separate factions. The authority of the Dajin court gradually declined, and it almost became the leader of the princes.
Of course, this almost divisive decentralization is not all bad, as it makes it easier to preserve strength. Otherwise, after Wanyan Wu Qimai's death, the Zonghan Clan, Wu Qimai Clan, and Aguda Clan would have had a dog-eat-dog fight! After they finish biting, how much energy will the Jurchens have left? Is it still necessary for Zhao Kai to send "millions" of troops to attack?
In addition, now that the Zonghan clan has gone westward, even if they don't become Roman officials, they can survive comfortably by seizing a few principalities on the territory of the Eighteen Rus.
Therefore, it is no longer possible for Zhao Kai to completely destroy Dajin!
But in today's battle of a million-man army, the divided Daikin has exposed a huge weakness - there is no way to truly achieve unified command!
Wanyan Liang was still a child, and Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Zonggu all rubbed shoulders with each other. They all had territories and armies, their fathers were emperors, and they all had children. No one accepts the title of Lie!
In desperation, after comparing the army, territory and biological father, we can only compete for the son. Zong Qian's son is the emperor!
So he asked his son Wanyan Liang to make him the emperor's father, Bo Jilie, and use this title to suppress Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggu.
But to what extent it can be suppressed, Wanyan Zongqian himself is not sure.
So after Wanyan Zongbi returned to Guangning Mansion from the front line and proposed a revised decisive battle plan to Wanyan Zongqian, Wanyan Zongqian fell into hesitation.
According to Zongbi's new plan, the original plan of advancing from east to west and blooming in the middle has turned into asking Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Zonggu to sacrifice themselves and launch a fierce attack on the eastern front to attract reinforcements from the Southern Army. After the reinforcements from the Southern Army moved north, Wanyan Zongbi Then he led his troops to fight out of the mountains in western Liaoning and pounced on the line "Songshan - Bijiashan - Qilihe - Nuerhe" in the southwest of Jinzhou.
On his way to Guangning, Wanyan Zongbi received a military report from Wanyan Zongqiang who was staying at the frontier in western Liaoning. The large group of troops from the Southern Army had now poured into the circle formed by "Songshan - Bijiashan - Qilihe - Nuerhe" in a semi-elliptical area.
Obviously, the Southern Army wanted to use the bay around Beacon Hill to set up a port and transfer supplies through the port to support the Battle of Jinzhou.
If the Dajin soldiers really want to cut off the Southern Army's retreat, it is useless to blockade Western Liaoning. They must build the Southern Army's ports in the Beacon Mountain area.
"Oben," Wanyan Zongbi said, "the key to winning or losing the battle in Jinzhou can only be fought in the direction of Liaoxi!"
Wanyan Zongqian nodded, "I know, but how do we convince Pruhu? He's not stupid?"
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongbi showed a sarcastic smile on his face, "But he is not very smart, and he is not tired of deceit!"
"A soldier never tires of deceit?" Wanyan Zongqian was stunned, "You mean to deceive Puluhu?"
Wanyan Zongbi smiled and said, "Oben, this can't be considered a lie! You are the emperor's father Bo Jilie. Please go out in person and encourage Puluhu appropriately so that he can do more for the Kingdom of Jin. This is what the royal family should do. How can what you did be considered cheating?”
Wanyan Zongqian frowned. He knew that he was more honest and less likely to lie, so he thought carefully and said to Zong Bi, "If you tell Puluhu, the Eastern Route Army has made a big cut in Western Liaoning and cut off the Western Liaoning Corridor. Jinzhou He has repeatedly repelled the Southern Army, and with Puluhu's recklessness, he should be fooled. If I promise Goryeo to him and Talan for ten more years, he should be fooled."
It is true that he is not good at lying, but he is very accurate in understanding the psychology of Wanyan Zongqian and Wanyan Zonggu.
At this time, Yue Fei, surrounded by senior generals such as Li Shifu, Wu Jie, Liu Qi, Zhang Xian, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Tang Huai, Wang Gui, Li Qiong, etc., was waiting for Songshan, which had just been occupied by the forward troops. .
Songshan is a low hill, also known as Songshan Ridge. To the north is a valley. There is a fortress in the valley, named Songshan Fort, which is one of the many fortresses outside Jinzhou.
Jinzhou does not seem to be easy to conquer. It is not a lonely triangular fort, but a large city surrounded by many forts and relying on the Xiaoling River.
If you want to capture Jinzhou, you must first clear the periphery of Jinzhou, then complete the siege, and then concentrate artillery and dig parallel trenches. If the so-called parallel siege method does not work, then you need to dig tunnels, bury gunpowder directly under Jinzhou City, and explode Open the city wall.
In short, it is not easy to capture Jinzhou, and a lot of troops must be invested. While attacking Jinzhou, the army of gold thieves will definitely come from Liaoxi and Guangning directions.
Thinking of this, Yue Fei began to speak, "There is only one key to this battle, which is to capture Jinzhou. If Jinzhou is captured by us, the gold thieves' rescue troops will have no choice but to flee in confusion! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous."
Who among you wants to be responsible for attacking Jinzhou? Who is willing to bear the responsibility of blocking the Eastern Front? Who is willing to stick to the Western Front? "
Niu Gao stepped forward and said, "Gong Wei, please leave Jinzhou in charge to the last general. Give it half a month to the last general. The last general will definitely dedicate Jinzhou to you!"
"Wei Guogong, please leave the Eastern Front to Wu!" Wu Jie also stepped forward to take charge of the task. "The general will definitely guard the Eastern Front safely."
"Brother Twelve," Liu Qi said, "it's up to Liu to stop the reinforcements on the Western Front. Even if there are millions of gold thieves with Liu, don't think about ruining the overall situation of the Battle of Jinzhou!" "
