Chapter 1018 Sanying worships the Lord
At the same moment when Niu Gao and Yang Zaixing led reinforcements into Daming City, news also came from southern Suzhou and Sizhou that Han Shizhong took the lead in defeating the 20,000 Qi army in Suzhou, then turned around and went south to attack Sizhou's 20,000 Qi army with Liu Guangshi Seeing that the situation was not good, Fan Qiong, the enemy general, retreated northward in a panic with 20,000 troops. He was ambushed by Han Shizhong's army, and the Qi army was defeated.
Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi were not in a hurry to catch up. After reorganizing the army for a day, they continued to march towards Bianjing.
At this time, Li Yanqing was leading an army of 90,000 to march towards Jeju. The army marched relatively low-key. Two days later, the army arrived in Juye County, Jeju, and established a logistics base in Juye County.
At night, a fleet sailed in from Liangshanbo, entered the Wuzhang River, and moored at the pier where Liu Yi's army had been wiped out. Zhang Rong, Shi Xiu and Liu Tang got off the boat and led a group of soldiers to the river. Coming from Juye County.
Li Yanqing had already sent someone into the lake to deliver the news to them. The regent of Jianguo came in person. Of course, it was their chance. Zhang Rong decided to come to see the regent without hesitation. Shi Xiu also asked to come with him. However, Liu Tang was very hesitant. He finally decided to follow Zhang Rong to meet Li Yanqing when Zhang Rong boarded the boat.
Liu Tang has his concerns. We can understand that Li Yanqing followed Zhong Shidao to encircle and suppress the Liangshan army, and made great contributions to the court's final suppression of Liangshan army. Tong Guan just picked the peaches of Zhong Shidao and Li Yanqing, so in In the minds of the Liangshan generals, the Liangshan army was defeated by Zhong Shidao and Li Yanqing, not Tong Guan, so Liu Tang felt somewhat conflicted.
Not long after, the three arrived at the Song Army camp outside Juye County. At this time, the Song Army camp had not yet been completed, and thousands of soldiers were building slab walls. The three came to the gate of the camp to explain the situation, and soldiers rushed over immediately. Report for them, after a while, the master Bo Caoye came to meet them at the gate of the camp.
"Your Majesty Bo Caoye, the commander-in-chief is discussing military affairs. Please follow me, three generals."
The three of them looked at each other, and then followed Cao Ye into the barracks. After a while, Zhang Rong came to the big tent of the Chinese army. Zhang Rong asked Cao Ye in a low voice, "What should we call His Royal Highness the Regent?"
Cao Ye smiled slightly, "You are already a member of General Song, you can call him Dushuai, and everyone in the army calls him that."
"I see!"
When they came to the gate of the big tent, they saw that Li Yanqing, Wang Gui, Cao Meng and other generals were already waiting for them in front of the tent. Seeing Li Yanqing, Zhang Rong hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down on one knee and clasped his fists: "The humble Zhang Rong sees All handsome!"
At this time, Shi Xiu and Liu Tang also knelt down and saluted, Li Yanqing hurriedly stepped forward to help them up, and said with a smile: "The three generals are exempt, I have heard the names of the three generals for a long time."
Zhang Rong hurriedly said: "Du Shuai is famous all over the world, it is the well-being of the people in the world, and it is also the hope of Song Dynasty. It is our honor to be able to serve Du Shuai!"
Li Yanqing looked at the three people and saw that Zhang Rong and Shi Xiu looked sincere, but Liu Tang's smile was a bit forced, so he didn't care, so he introduced Wang Gui and Cao Meng to the three of them, and they immediately walked into the big tent .
The huge ceramic map was placed in the middle of the big tent. The three of Zhang Rong exclaimed. They had never seen such a map before. It was so lifelike and very intuitive.
"It took my people three years to make it. It will be of great help to marching and fighting, but it still needs experience and cooperation."
Li Yanqing picked up the wooden pole and pointed it at Juye County, then at Xucheng County, Yunzhou, two hundred miles away, and said with a smile to the three of them: "For example, I can see these two counties very clearly. There are official roads connecting the cities, but what is the terrain on both sides of the official roads, and whether the official roads are suitable for cavalry marching? I can’t see these on the map, so I have to ask experienced people, such as the three!”
Zhang Rong laughed, "It's true, and it has changed a lot in the past two years. There used to be a vast forest in the north near the lake, but it was set on fire by Jinbing half a month ago. The destruction of the woods will have a great impact on us, if the commander-in-chief asks a businessman who has been to Xucheng recently, he will not know that the woods have been burned, and scouts need to investigate on the spot."
Cao Meng's face was a little ugly. He mentioned that forest just now, and he could send troops to ambush there, but he didn't expect it to be burned.
Li Yanqing smiled, and asked them to sit down again, "How is the army doing recently?" Li Yanqing asked with concern.
Zhang Rong sighed, "The Jin soldiers crazily looted and burned Yunzhou and Jinan Prefectures. Many brothers' homes were affected, and some brothers have already left at night."
"How many deserters have appeared?" Wang Gui asked from the side. He knew exactly what deserters meant, and it was a sign of the collapse of the army's morale.
"There are about 300 people. They have stabilized a little these days. There were no deserters yesterday."
"That's brewing a bigger escape!" Wang Gui unceremoniously exposed the false appearance of so-called stability.
"What about Jin Bing's situation?" Li Yanqing changed the unpleasant topic caused by Wang Gui.
Zhang Rong glared at Wang Gui, and then said: "The situation of Jin Bing is very strange. They haven't come out of the barracks these days. According to my humble analysis, it should be the wheat harvest season. Jin Bing is waiting for the people to harvest the grain. It should be for this reason that they came out to grab food again, and the food they grabbed can only last for a month or two at most, and if they want to wait until the Yellow River freezes to return in winter, they will need a lot of food."
"You are handsome, we should take the initiative to attack!" Wang Gui still insisted on his plan.
Li Yanqing didn't answer. He came to the map and looked at the map with his hands behind his back in thought. At this moment, all the people in the tent came over and surrounded the map on both sides.
After pondering for a long time, Li Yanqing suddenly asked: "General Zhang, what do you think is the weakness of this cavalry?"
Zhang Rong was startled, he quickly looked to both sides, only to see Wang Gui nodding to himself, it turned out that he was really asking himself, this question is hard to answer!
Zhang Rong thought for a while and said: "The weakness of this army is that it is too cruel. It is nothing more than robbing food. It also burns, kills and rapes, which makes the people and gods of Yunzhou angry. Such an army will not have results in the end."
Li Yanqing nodded, "You're talking about the branches and leaves, but you didn't talk about the roots. Of course, this has something to do with your lack of information."
Zhang Rong blushed, and hurriedly bowed and said, "I am willing to listen to Du Shuai's teachings!"
"Teaching can't be talked about, let's discuss it!"
Li Yanqing smiled faintly, and said to everyone: "The leader of this army is called Wanyan Zongqian, the eldest son of the old wolf lord Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom, he has been in the Kingdom of Jin for many years, and he came to the Daming Mansion last year as the leader. I can tell you, This man is definitely not a cruel person, and he has always restrained military discipline when leading troops. If he forced the food collection because he had to, then he indulged the soldiers to burn, kill, and **** is intentional."
"He is trying to persecute us!" Liu Tang blurted out.
"That's right!" Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Didn't you desert? This is the effect he wants. I believe that as time goes by, the morale of the army will become more and more low, and you will have to pull the army out to fight with him." Fight to the death, with the strength of 30,000 Jurchen cavalry, what do you think the chances of winning are?"
Zhang Rong sighed slightly, "Our entire army will be wiped out!"
"But what if I asked you to come out and fight him?" Li Yanqing asked again with a smile.
Zhang Rong suddenly understood, "Does Shuai want us to be the bait to lure Jin Bing into taking the bait?"
Li Yanqing smiled and nodded, "That's exactly the truth!"
Cao Meng was a little worried: "Will Jin Bing know we're coming?"
Li Yanqing shook his head, "Don't take Jin Bing's information so seriously. In fact, they have a dark eye in the Central Plains. They only rely on their powerful cavalry to rush around, and no one will report information to them. We In the Central Plains, Wanyan Xie, who is far away in Yanshan Mansion, may know about it, but this golden soldier in Yunzhou doesn't know about it."
"But Wanyan Xie will tell him too!" Wang Gui was somewhat dissatisfied.
"How to tell?" Li Yanqing asked back.
Wang Gui was dumbfounded, and Zhang Rong said cautiously: "The humble official thinks that there are pigeons between them and the Daming Mansion."
Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "I forgot to tell you that Yan Qing's army had captured Daming Mansion ten days ago, and the Yellow River had been swept away, blocked by the Ruan brothers' navy."
Zhang Rong was speechless for a long time. After Yan Qing led the army to leave, he actually did such a big thing, which is really unexpected!
"Speaking of which, Yunzhou Jinbing is really a smear."
"If Jin Bing knew we were coming, the army would definitely go south, but they have not moved now, which means that Jin Bing didn't know we were coming. This is our advantage. Let's go to the west and spread a pocket and let them get in!"
Hearing about the cloth pocket, Cao Meng rubbed his hands excitedly, "Just like last time, I used a hundred thunderbolts to blow up his mother."
Li Yanqing shook his head, "This time we made a bigger bag."
Speaking of this, an imperceptible ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but this ruthlessness was caught by Liu Tang, and he trembled in fright.
