Wang Xiaolie's original plan was to leave some important places as bait for the Jin army to occupy. When they attack later, the Jin Army will definitely send reinforcements. Then whether it is to encircle a point to bring reinforcements or to encircle and annihilate it, the war will be much easier.
This is true for Jinzhou on Hedong Road in the north, and the same is true for Kaifeng Mansion in the east. It's just that because of their own characteristics, the Jin army is not tempted at all. If the situation is not good, they will withdraw immediately, and they will never miss the gains and losses of a city or a place. Liu Yu was better, he couldn't bear to leave Kaifeng Mansion. Even though Liu Lin's army was completely wiped out, Liu Yu still sent more troops to Kaifeng.
Since the bait does not work, it is necessary to change the tactics as soon as possible. Wanyan Yinshu on Hedong Road didn't have many troops because there were no strong enemies around. Originally there were only 10,000 people, but after Jiang Min annihilated 3,000, there were only 7,000. It is better to take this opportunity to occupy all the state troops in southern Shanxi and point the sword at Taiyuan Prefecture.
Seeing that Wang Xiaolie had made up his mind, Wang Ruohai hurriedly went out to deliver the order.
Wang Xiaolie stood in front of the map, looking at it and thinking about the next situation.
After the great victory in Shaanzhou, Wang Xiaolie still thought about the idea of luring the Jin army deeper and then waiting for an opportunity to annihilate a part of the Jin army. Regardless of whether it was in the direction of Shaanxi or Hedong, the troops were relatively conservative and did not take the initiative. After the war, the Jin army retreated much faster than expected, so this idea may come to nothing.
After Balisu was annihilated, the main force of the Jin army in Shaanxi should retreat soon, leaving no chance of being annihilated by the Song army's east-west advance. Liu Yu in the east was frightened and would not take the initiative to attack again in the short term. Wang Xiaolie's strategic direction actually only left Hedong Road.
Turning around, Wang Xiaolie paced slowly in the official hall. After a while, he turned and looked at the map again.
In addition to the Chinese Army, he now has four divisions in his hands. Li Xing's rear army division had to defend the Xiangyang and Dengzhou areas and could not move northward in large numbers. The only three divisions that could be used were Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan and Shaoxing. Three divisions with 60,000 troops marched north to Hedong Road, with the Chinese Army serving as the general reserve.
Wang Xiao paced back and forth in the official hall, unable to make up his mind for a while.
In the final analysis, he was not prepared for a decisive battle with the Jin Army, and his attack on Hedong Road seemed insufficient. If the Jin army does not move south within two or three years, Wang Xiaolie will definitely have an advantage as its strength grows. If the Jin army quickly moves south to attack itself, it will be in danger.
When the Jin army goes south, where is the best battlefield? Wang Xiaolie turned around and looked at Taiyuan Mansion in Jinzhong.
Enemy troops coming from the north will either go straight to the Central Plains via Hebei, or go to the east of Hedong. The most important place in Hedong is undoubtedly Taiyuan Prefecture.
Looking at Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Xiaolie did not move for a long time.
If the next battlefield is chosen to be Taiyuan Mansion, then he has two choices. The first is to organize troops to attack Taiyuan Mansion now. The Jin army will not have time to react and will most likely occupy it quickly. Then the situation between us and the enemy on Hedong Road will become what it was before Jingkang. The Yunzhong area to the north is Nianhan's lair, where there are many Jin troops. It is very likely that after occupying Taiyuan Mansion, the Jin army will send out heavy troops to attack, and he will be on the defensive. If you don't occupy Taiyuan Mansion, but just lay out the surrounding areas, you will form a situation of besieging Taiyuan. If the Jin army wants to go south from Hedong Road, it must gather heavy troops in Taiyuan and attack by itself.
Whether to defend or attack, Wang Xiaolie couldn't make up his mind.
If we attack Taiyuan now, it will be impossible for the Jin army to retreat. It is very likely that he will send out an army of overwhelming strength to fight with him on Hedong Road.
Are you ready? Wang Xiaolie shook his head gently. Whether politically or militarily, I am far from ready.
How would the Jin army respond if they did not attack Taiyuan? Leave yourself alone? It shouldn't be possible. If you want to attack yourself, how will you attack?
Wang Xiaolie couldn't think clearly for a while, pacing back and forth in the official hall.
Wang Ruohai came in, saw Wang Xiaolie's appearance, and asked, "Why is Commander-in-Chief upset?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "After occupying Jinzhou and Longde Mansion, we will point from both directions to Taiyuan Mansion, the core of Hedong Road. How should the Jin soldiers respond? I couldn't figure it out for a while. If we concentrate the army in Taiyuan Mansion, It would be easy to prepare to go south and fight me."
Wang Ruohai said: "If the Jin army gathers 100,000 troops, it is impossible to go all the way to Taiyuan. It is more likely to go all the way to Jinzhou and all the way to the Dang. Go straight to Zezhou to take Tianjing Pass and threaten Luoyang. Go to Jin. Those from Shaanxi Province will attack Shaanxi Province and cooperate with the Shaanxi Jin army to attack."
Wang Xiaolie said: "If the troops are divided into two groups, won't they give me a chance to annihilate each one?"

He smiled and said: "Jie Shuai, the Jin Army will not think that they are so weak. In the battle of Shaanzhou, we actually did not use 40,000 troops and annihilated more than 20,000 Bali Su. But in the eyes of the Jin Army, I am afraid that Our 100,000-strong army has all been included. Besides, how can we support a 100,000-gold army all the way to Jinzhou?"
Wang Xiaolie nodded: "You're right. Jinzhou cannot support a hundred thousand Jin army all the way. They must divide their troops to ensure that they don't go hungry on the way."
After saying that, Wang Xiaolie returned to the map. After looking at the map for a while, he said: "As long as we have to divide our troops, it will be easy to handle. It's just a matter of blocking all the way and concentrating our forces to annihilate all the way first. Here, at Lengquan Pass, we must block the path of the Jin army going south!"
Wang Ruohai stepped forward and looked at the map and said: "Lengquan Pass is a famous pass in Jinzhong. How many wars have occurred in history! As long as the artillery can be transported across, it is not difficult to hold this pass. It's just that the ancient roads here cannot be used by large vehicles. , it’s not easy to transport the cannon across.”
Wang Xiaolie said: "Jiang Min took the time to cast iron cannons on his own in the Holy Mountain. I heard that most of those iron cannons were scrapped after the first battle. However, he actually won a victory and annihilated three thousand golden troops. . Cannons cannot be transported, but copper and iron can always be transported, and they are cast there."
Wang Ruohai said: "With the help of artillery, it will not be difficult to defend here."
Wang Xiaolie nodded. He said: "Lengquan Pass, it is best to keep us safe for two or three years. In two or three years, we have expanded our army, so we are not afraid of the Jin army going south."
Wang Ruohai said: "Yes, as long as there are two or three more years, we have two armies with more than 200,000 people. Why should we be afraid of the Jin army going south? If they don't go south, we will have to go north to fight them! It's just that the Jin army will go south." Army, will you give us two or three years?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "As long as we block the Jin army's route to Jinzhou, we are not afraid of them going south."
Wang Ruohai said: "What if the Jin army came from Hebei instead of east of Hedong? Adding Liu Yu's army, it is not difficult to gather 100,000 or 200,000 people."
Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that easy. Liu Yu lost 30,000 people in this battle, and he still had more than 60,000 troops. To replace these 30,000 troops, how could Liu Yu do it in a short time? The Jin army From Hebei, Liu Yu can send up to 50,000 troops, which is not a big problem."
Wang Ruohai said: "Liu Yu doesn't care about 50,000 soldiers, but what if he adds 50,000 to 60,000 Jin troops?"
Wang Xiaolie said: "If there are 50,000 to 60,000 Jin troops, then they should not go back to the north."
Wang Ruohai asked: "What if it is a hundred thousand gold army?"
Wang Xiaolie said with a smile: "Consultants, there is no need to worry about this issue. Liu Yu signed all the people in Hebei, and there were not enough people to transport grain and grass to these Jin troops. Coming from Hebei, on the vast plains, the only way for us to annihilate the Jin army is Too many. One hundred thousand gold troops, and I don’t care about him!"
Wang Ruohai also laughed: "If Marshal Jie is so determined, it won't matter. The maximum number of troops that the Jin army can gather will not exceed one hundred thousand, so why should we be afraid of him?"
The terrain of Hedong Road limited Wang Xiaolie's army. Once out of the mountainous area and facing Luoyang, Wang Xiaolie always has to be careful. If you come from Hebei, there are plains all the way, what else does Wang Xiaolie have to fear?
