"The clan of the Song Dynasty? But why did I hear that the clan of the Song Kingdom are all trash raised in captivity. They can only recite poems and draw some flowers, birds, fish and insects, and are not allowed to practice martial arts and lead troops?"
Wanyan Xiebao had really studied the politics and military affairs of the Song Dynasty, and knew that the royal families in the Song Dynasty were generally treated as trash. Even if there were promising people who were either artists or scholar-bureaucrats, few would practice martial arts and lead troops... Of course you can practice martial arts, but leading troops is absolutely not allowed!
If there really was a clan that led troops, there would be more memorials criticizing him than those criticizing Captain Gao!
Of course, Medicine Master Guo was ready to say something, and immediately replied: "Mr. Xiebao is talking about ordinary times. Now is an extraordinary period, and the army is about to attack the capital. The Song Dynasty officials always need generals to lead the army. , a military man like Gao Qiu cannot be trusted, a scholar like Li Gang cannot lead troops, and eunuchs like Tong Guanxun are even less useful... In this way, only the clan generals can be trusted. Although the Song Dynasty Most of the clan members are negligent in martial arts, but there are so many of them!
When the Song Dynasty was founded, there were three lineages: Taizu, Taizong, and King Wei. They had multiplied for more than 160 years, and their descendants had already exceeded tens of thousands. It is not surprising that one of them is skilled in martial arts and proficient in military strategy. Didn't the Liao clan also have a Yelu Dashi?
Perhaps this Zhao Bupo was not only proficient in martial arts and military strategy, but also had a close relationship with Zhao Kai, so he gained his trust. "
Pharmacist Guo's analysis makes sense. The forest is so big that there are all kinds of birds. It seems possible that among the many eldest sons of the Zhao family, there will be someone as outstanding as Yelu Dashi.
Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Yan Mu, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zonghan with a smile, "How about it? If the Song Dynasty really has a big stone, are you afraid of it?"
After hearing this question, Wanyan's mother snorted coldly and said: "Even Yelu Dashi himself was also the defeated general of our Dajin! What's more, the battle where Zhao Bupo became famous was to command the navy to break through Hecai Pass... Later, Zhao Kai also called him to lead the navy to garrison Wuzhang River. Before joining Caikou, no one had seen Zhao Bupo recognize the flag on land. It seems that he is mostly proficient in water warfare and should not be familiar with land warfare. Big is good.”
This Wanyan Yanmu was defeated miserably by "Zhao Bupo" at Hecaikou, and even took Alu Bu's life. Of course, she was extremely unwilling to do so.
So after entering Daming Mansion, he tried his best to find out things related to Zhao Bupo... Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle!
After he summarized the various situations he had heard, he found that Zhao Bupo was just a general who was proficient in water warfare and seemed to have never shown his skills on land.
Wanyan Wu Qimai asked: "Jan Mu, Yi Bu, now that Gao Qiu has left, do you have a way to attack Kaifeng Mansion?"
"Yes!" Wanyan's mother spoke and glanced at Wanyan Zongwang.
The Bodhisattva face of the second prince Wanyan Zongwang was full of confidence at this time. He took the question with a smile and said: "Your Majesty, Uncle Eleven, Wu Shu, and Talan and I have already discussed a strategy to move south!"
"Really?" Wanyan Wu Qimai smiled, "Say it quickly!"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Your Majesty, we are going to divide the army into two groups and advance along the east and west banks of the Yellow River to the north and south of the Sanshan Floating Bridge, assuming a posture of attacking the Sanshan Floating Bridge from the north and the south.
After the Southern Army detects the movements of our army, they will definitely use various defeat strategies and mobilize the main force to attack our East Route Army. At the same time, they will use Tiancheng Fort, Dagan Mountain and Diba Village north of the Sanshan Floating Bridge to resist our West Route Army. offensive.
Our West Route Army will turn north of the Sanshan Floating Bridge and then head straight for Junxian County. After capturing Junxian County, I will own the Wannian Xindi in Junxian County. In this way, we can dig up the river embankment in Junxian County and release the Yellow River water into Junxian County and Liyang. In this way, it will be impossible for the southerners to dig the Yellow River and use water as a substitute for troops to deal with us! "
Wanyan Wu Qimai was overjoyed when he heard this, and then asked: "Then how can the main force of the Southern Army defeat the Eastern Route Army?"
"Of course we will defeat it with force!" Wanyan's mother sneered, "If our Dajin Warriors cannot defeat the Southern Army in the field, then we should go back home as soon as possible!"
Wanyan Wu Qimai nodded heavily and said with a smile: "What you say makes sense! With all the soldiers of the Jin Dynasty here, are we still afraid that we will not be able to defeat a mere few hundred thousand Song troops?"
...
"Your Majesty, Wanyan Wu Qimai has arrived at Daming Mansion... there are at least 100,000 gold thieves coming with him!"
In the Baojin Building in Jinming City, Zhao Kai, who had moved here again, had already received the news on the third day after Wu Qimai arrived at Daming Mansion... that there was a "N minister" named Guo Yaoshi ambushing Jinying. Inside, it was really difficult to hide the gold thief's every move from Zhao Kai.
"Another hundred thousand..." Zhao Kai frowned slightly, "How many gold thieves are there in Daming Mansion now?"
Cao Li, the military counselor who had just reported to Zhao Kai, replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, plus some ten thousand households from the original Golden Thieves West Route Army who arrived in May and June, the Golden Thieves Jurchen and Bohai are now gathered in Daming Mansion. , Khitan, Xiren, and Han'er army already numbered twenty, which can be said to be all out. The number of regular soldiers is estimated to be more than 100,000. Including Ali Xi's auxiliary soldiers, the total strength is likely to exceed 300,000. !”
"Three hundred thousand..." Zhao Kai muttered, "That's a lot of people!"
"Your Majesty," Li Gang saw Zhao Kai's expression of embarrassment and hurriedly went out to announce, "Now the city of Kaifeng Prefecture has been secured, the food and grass are sufficient, and there are four major points such as Sanshan Floating Bridge, Liangshan Bo, Dingtao City and Guangwu Mountain located outside Kaifeng Prefecture. For support, Liu Kai organized the armies in Hebei, Zongze recruited the rebels in Hebei, and Zhongshidao organized the armies in Shaanxi, all of which were quite effective... Therefore, as long as our army sticks to the city of Kaifeng Prefecture, it will be safe. "
"Your Majesty," Yu Wencuizhong also said, "I also thought that as long as we stick to Kaifeng Mansion, we can ensure victory... Kaifeng Mansion is already a fortified city, and King Qin's troops are coming in a steady stream. You can also use up all the golden soldiers."
The current situation in Hebei is that the situation along the north-flowing Yellow River and to the east is critical, but the situation along the north-flowing Yellow River and westward to the Taihang Mountains is stable. Liu Kai and Zongze took advantage of the stability of these few months to quickly reorganize the army. Among them, Liu Kai took in the various officers and soldiers who were defeated by the gold thieves and evacuated them to Zhongshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion for reinforcement. Now he has 50,000 fighting troops!
Zongze, on the other hand, recruited several "rebels" who were entrenched in the Taihang Mountains, and recruited strong men to organize new armies in Cizhou, Xiangzhou and other prefectures and counties that had been ravaged by gold thieves. The number of "book soldiers" now exceeds 100,000, and the actual number is more than 100,000. The number of soldiers and horses on board is between 70,000 and 80,000.
In addition, after Zhong Shidao returned to Shaanxi, he mobilized the Five Yanbian Roads in Shaanxi - the Five Yanbian Roads in Shaanxi and Fulin Road belonging to Hedong are very different from other places in the Song Dynasty. Has a strong military tradition!
The territory of these six roads is full of generals and military aristocratic families, and the folk customs are also particularly martial. Everyone believes that fame will be obtained immediately, and not many people go to school... and they can't pass the exam!
Due to the large number of generals and military families, as well as the martial customs of the people, the military potential of the Western Army is much greater than the superficial strength - because among the regular soldiers and archers (a kind of land granting militia) of the Western Army In addition, there are also a large number of generals' children, soldiers' children and civilian powerful people who can be mobilized.
So this Western army is like a leek, it can grow again after being cut!
In the original history, there was a wave of Xuanhe's Northern Expedition, a wave of King Jingkang Qin, and a wave of Battle of Fuping... The Western Army's leeks were cut in at least three waves, each wave amounted to hundreds of thousands!
If it weren't for Zhao Gou first not appointing the commander-in-chief of Shaanxi, and then sending Zhang Jun, the commander of the long-defeated army, which would have caused the Song Dynasty's situation in Shaanxi to collapse... the Western Army's leeks could have continued to be cut!
And now Zhao Kai has sent the great god Zhongshidao to Shaanxi to cut leeks. Needless to say, the effect is natural. The leeks sent, no, they are from King Qinjun, so they must be plentiful and good!
Of course, the premise is that... the Taishang Palace hosted by Zhao Huan can collect enough wealth in the southeast and transport it to Kaifeng Mansion!
Although the hearts of those Qinwang rebels are not as dark as those of the Forbidden Army veterans, they cannot be allowed to work in vain... and they cannot just rely on the household registration, real estate and beauties of Kaifeng Mansion to satisfy their appetite.
The number of real estate and beauties is limited, and although the household registration is relatively large, for a group of hard-working big-headed soldiers, the Kaifeng household registration is not attractive enough.
Moreover, it is impossible for Zhao Kai to issue a household registration and ten acres of land to each of the hundreds of thousands of Qin Wangjun! Kaifeng Prefecture doesn't have that much land...so it's still necessary to make money and wealth!
If Zhao Huan can really continuously send a large amount of wealth to Kaifeng Mansion, then Zhao Kai can really rely on the "leeks" of the Western Army to kill the gold thief.
But the question is, is Zhao Huan so kind?
Zhao Kai didn't dare to pin his fate on Zhao Huan's kindness.
And he couldn't guarantee that the gold thief would definitely come to Kaifeng Mansion! What if they go to JD.com?
As long as they bypass the opening of Liangshanbo, there will be no troops on the ground in Jingdong to fight. How long can a virtual Captain Gao be able to bluff people? If the gold thief finds out about Gao Qiu's death, it will cause serious trouble.
If Jingdong Road is occupied by gold thieves, then the canal waterway will be cut off. Where will there be a steady flow of money and food in the future?
Without money and food... Kaifeng Mansion will be doomed!
"No," Zhao Kai thought thoughtfully, "I can't defend the isolated city...and the city of Kaifeng Prefecture is strong, so there is no need for so many people. So I have to lead my troops out to guard the Tunsan Mountain Floating Bridge! As long as my army is placed With Sanshan Floating Bridge, the gold thieves will not dare to go to Jingdong Road. They will either attack Sanshan Floating Bridge or go deep into Kaifeng Mansion, but no matter what they do, I am sure of victory!"
Having said this, Zhao Kai looked at Li Gang, Yu Wen Cuizhong and Zhang Shuye and said, "Li Qing, Yu Wenqing, Zhang Qing, I will join forces with Yao Lao Taiwei and Xiao Zhong Taiwei to send troops to Tun Sanshan Floating Bridge, Kaifeng Mansion I'll leave the defense to you... If I can't come back before the golden thief besieges the city, just hold on!"
