Protecting Hejian City and Zhending City is an unshirkable task entrusted to him by His Majesty the Emperor.
Zhending and Hejian were the important radiation centers of the Jin Kingdom's rule in Hebei. Without the military deterrence and political control of Hejian City and Zhending City, the Jin Kingdom's rule in Hebei was in danger of overthrowing.
Now the danger in Hejian City and even Hejian Mansion should have been lifted, leaving only Zhending Mansion.
But Zhending Mansion is in danger.
As long as the Liberation Army's dam tactics are successfully completed, it will probably be the day when Zhending City falls. No one can be saved under the flooded Jinshan Mountains. Wanyan Alin knows this very well.
If he cannot defeat the opponent before they complete this tactic, he must make a choice.
Is it true that Ding City is doomed, or that he and his army are in trouble.
Wanyan Alin slammed the desk in front of her.
That bastard who came up with the plan is so abominable, and we must never let him succeed in achieving his goal!
We must take action!
But after making such a decision, Wanyan Alin remembered that his logistics was very problematic.
Wanyan Alin wanted to quickly march south to relieve the crisis in Zhending City, but Xiongzhou alone could not supply the military supplies he needed.
It’s not that Xiongzhou’s food can’t feed them, but it’s that dine-in and takeout are different.
Dine-in requires people to take the initiative to eat, while take-out requires manpower and material resources to arrange and transport, and Xiongzhou's manpower and material resources obviously cannot support the logistics and transportation capacity that his 20,000 elites need.
If Xiongzhou were to be shouldered by one state, the governor of Xiongzhou would probably find it easier to commit suicide by hanging.
It still needs to be done as before, with multi-state collaboration to share the pressure. Everyone should shoulder this responsibility together. If something happens, everyone will take the blame together, which is easier.
But he was not given the authority to be the commander-in-chief of the march in such and such a place.
When Wanyan Alin went on an expedition, he was only awarded the position of commander-in-chief of the elite cavalry regiment he commanded. He was the commander-in-chief of the army and had no other positions or powers other than that.
In other words, he can manage the army, but not the military regions, the offensive, but not the logistics.
The power to mobilize logistics was in the hands of the imperial court. He was just a cavalryman who worked hard to fight the war. All military supplies and logistics depended on the imperial court. Without the logistical support of the imperial court, he could do nothing but withdraw his troops.
Thinking about it, this was also the emperor's method of controlling people. He specifically did not entrust him with full power. Perhaps the emperor felt that the battlefield was relatively close to the capital and coordination could be easily completed in one visit, so he "deliberately" shared the pressure for him.
Who made him the royal family member that the emperor was wary of?
Therefore, after the previous coordination between the three states was destroyed, he needed to coordinate with several other states to supply him with food through the channels in Pusanhutu.
Zhending City was in danger, but he could not immediately coordinate the various states to provide military supplies and then march. This made Wanyan Alin feel very tortured.
He hadn't felt anything bad about this before, but now, he was very worried that after he got it done, the defenders and Jurchen tribesmen in Zhending City would no longer exist.
Then half of the meaning of his march has been lost.
Wan Yanliang...
Wanyan A-lin felt a bit gritty towards this aloof emperor.
Asking me to help while putting shackles on me at the same time, is there any way you can do this?
While Wanyan Alin was feeling torment, Xin Qiji had already met up with Sun Tzu Yi and informed Sun Tzu Yi of Su Yonglin's tactical arrangements.
Because Su Yonglin judged that the Jin army's next move south must be towards Zhending, and there would definitely be troops marching westward along the Hutuo River, the Liberation Army should set up defenses in Gaocheng and Gucheng counties along the Hutuo River.
The cavalry also needs logistics. Su Yonglin has ordered the counties under his jurisdiction to prepare for the implementation of the wartime policy of strengthening the walls and clearing the fields. All residents will be moved to the rear, and all supplies that can be taken away will be taken away. Those that cannot be taken away will be buried or destroyed on the spot. Nor will it be handed over to Jin Jun.
If the Jin Army cavalry cannot be supplemented, they can only rely on logistics, and the most convenient way to transport logistics is to use the Hutuo River.
If the logistics troops are not allowed to advance, the cavalry's attack radius will be extremely limited, and it will certainly not be able to threaten its rear. A forced attack will not last long, and they can only wait helplessly.
This task must be entrusted to Sun Ziyi and the tens of thousands of troops under his command.
Su Yonglin also promised that if he won the battle, he would be willing to give half of all the loot to Sun Tzu Yi as a reward.
"That's what the general said. It's great that General Sun is willing to help."
On Sun Tzu Yi's march, Xin Qiji rode on his horse and had a pleasant conversation with Sun Tzu Yi.
"Hahaha, what is this? Without Yuting's help, I would have been wiped out by now. How could I talk to you here? So don't talk about rewards. This can be considered my repayment!"
Sun Tzu Yi sighed: "Yuting has really helped me a lot. Without Yuting, I wouldn't be where I am today. Sometimes I even feel that Yuting is more like the leader of the Liberation Army than Zhao Kaishan, and is more worthy of being the Liberation Army." leader."
Xin Qiji thought for a while and didn't say anything.
"My general came from the south to the north and has no foundation. If he wants to cause trouble, of course he must rely on local heroes. Although Commander Zhao's behavior is quite controversial, he is still a hero, right?"
"Hero?"
Sun Tzu Yi sneered: "What kind of hero is he? If he were a hero, would there be villains in the world? Not long after the uprising, he began to reject dissidents, and even drove Yuting and I to the north to protect him from disasters. He went west by himself.
Later, he was appointed as the commander-in-chief, overtly and covertly suppressing Yuting and I's status, not allowing us to argue with him. Now I heard that he also rejected dissidents in his own army, and he also engaged in supervising the army. His Zhao family is usually a Men, all have positions, it is really true that one person has achieved enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven! "
Sun Ziyi's cynicism made Xin Qiji feel a lot of resentment towards Zhao Kaishan.
Indeed, this guy is nothing. Everything he does is for himself and not for others.
Compared with him, Su Yonglin is simply a saint.
In order to rescue Zhao Kaishan who was in trouble, Su Yonglin led his army to attack Dongping Mansion, cutting off the logistics of the main force of the Shandong Jin Army and directly turning the tide of the war.
Now, in order to save Sun Tzu Yi who was in trouble, he led his troops to attack three states and three counties, destroying the Jin Army's logistics and forcing the Jin Army's elite cavalry to give up their huge advantage and withdraw.
He always takes the overall situation into consideration and does what he can do for the overall situation, showing his abilities to the extreme.
He is a true brave man who wants to fight against gold.
He is also a benevolent person who takes the overall situation into consideration and will lend a helping hand to his colleagues.
After reading his manuscript, Xin Qiji felt that he was a wise man with a clear understanding of fire.
The brave, the benevolent, and the wise all merge into one person and appear in one person. This person is destined to do great things.
So Xin Qiji admired Su Yonglin from the bottom of his heart.
He felt that he was right to follow Su Yonglin. Because he followed the right person, his future was promising.
Eighteen-year-old Xin Qiji was extremely excited about his right choice.
But then again, would a selfish villain like Zhao Kaishan, who is in a high position but only thinks about himself, really not lead the Liberation Army uprising into the ditch?
Sun Tzu Yi's views captured Xin Qiji's thinking about the overall situation and his worries about the future.
So he also began to think that Zhao Kaishan was not suitable to be the leader of the Liberation Army uprising, even in name only.
"Does General Sun think that Commander Zhao is not worthy of being the Commander-in-Chief?"
Xin Qiji tested Sun Ziyi's thoughts.
Sun Ziyi shook his head decisively.
"How can he compare with Yu Ting in terms of his mind, knowledge, ability, and courage? He was just the most powerful and well-connected person when we first started the uprising, so we regarded him as our leader. Now think about it, what is his so-called Wasn't his power accumulated by his ancestors?
What did he do personally? He only has a reputation for being generous and a nickname that can never defeat Zhao Kaishan. What else does he have? Leading troops to fight? He did win some battles, but they were all with a favorable wind. Did he win any battles with a headwind?
It was Yuting who won the battle against the wind. When tens of thousands of people were forced by thousands of cavalry and couldn't even get out of the camp, it was Yuting who turned the situation around. This time I was besieged, and it was Yuting who saved me. Me and him? What did he do? "
