Qiming 1158

Chapter 279 Zhao Gou is content with the status quo
Zhao Kaishan was not ignorant of the opposition within the Liberation Army and among the people.

However, Zhao Kaishan ignored it and did not agree to the suggestion of some generals to attack Kaifeng Mansion with part of his troops to teach Kong Yanzhou a lesson.

He decided that since he wanted to fight, he would fight a big one, targeting the entire Nanjing Road.

Taking down the entire Nanjing Road in one go can not only expand the strength, but also enhance the prestige.

The generals disagreed very much with this, thinking that Zhao Kaishan's plan was too broad.

Chen Qiaoshan persuaded.

"Our army has just finished fighting the Daming Mansion, and the losses have been huge, and we have not received sufficient rest. At this time, we will start a war on Nanjing Road. Unusable."

Li Xiao also went on to persuade.

"Nanjing Road is very big, and there are many golden thieves garrisoned. Although our army is large and powerful, it will not be much more. If we attack rashly, the outcome will be unpredictable. We should do more preparations."

Zhao Yucheng also did not support his father's actions.

"The last general thought that our army was not ready in all aspects, and that we cannot fight unprepared battles on the march. We always have to give the army a month to two months to prepare. After a month or two, the situation may be different from what it is now. It's up for discussion."

"One month or two months?"

Zhao Kaishan stared: "At most half a month, if you can't send troops, you will all be punished! Caozhou and Shanzhou's hatred, I will wash the snow! If I can't wash the snow, how can I have the face to call myself the master of the Restoration Army?"

This time the troops were stunned because Zhao Kaishan made a righteous name.

In order to avenge, in order to seek justice from Kong Yanzhou, in order to avenge the people of Erzhou.

Speaking of which, is it possible to avoid it?

The foundation of the Guangfu Army is fundamentally incompatible with the Jin people. If they are bullied to this point and do not fight back, the situation of Zhao Kaishan and the Guangfu Army will be very embarrassing.

So this battle seems to have to be fought, and those who intend to persuade also give up persuasion, secretly full of hatred for Kong Yanzhou.

If it weren't for him slaughtering the people of Erzhou, this battle might not have been so big, but it's too late to say anything now.

So the battle started.

From late February to early March, when Su Yonglin was vigorously reorganizing and training his army in Hebei, Zhao Kaishan led an army of [-] troops and officially launched an attack on Nanjing Road.

He personally crossed the Yellow River and launched an attack on Kaifeng. Along the way, he encountered strong resistance from the Jin Army. The two sides fought several battles in the area east of Kaifeng.

Zhao Kaishan was holding his breath and must get back to the scene, the elites came out together, and put Li Xiao and Chen Qiaoshan, the two most capable men under his command, at the forefront to fight the Jin army bloody, repeatedly defeating the Jin army defense line.

The Jin Army also has generals and elite soldiers who can fight well and fight defensive counterattacks. They can also defeat the offensive fronts of the Restoration Army, regain lost defense points, and continue to confront the Restoration Army.

Kong Yanzhou was actually rather flustered.

The Nanjing Road Theater is a relatively important frontier theater of the Jin Kingdom, facing the military pressure of the Southern Song Dynasty.

A certain number of soldiers must be deployed in several border states, which is an immovable border defense force.

In addition, in order to prevent the encroachment of the entire Nanjing Road by the superior forces of the Restoration Army, he had to divide his troops to defend other cities, so in general, there were not many troops, and the mobile force that could be used was only 3 to [-].

Of course, he did not expect that Zhao Kaishan would lead the main force directly to fight Nanjing Road, and he also came directly towards Kaifeng, with a posture that he was going to kill him.

In his opinion, Zhao Kaishan will at most send people to recover Caozhou and Shanzhou, and then he will not cross the Yellow River to attack, and even if he does, he will not use the main force.

After all, he destroyed Caozhou and Shanzhou into such a virtuous virtue, and it will take a few months to start the fight, right?
As a result, Zhao Kaishan used his main force to come to Kaifeng after a month of uselessness.

The situation is not good.

The main force of the North Central Army would definitely not be able to go south to support him, otherwise the Daming Mansion would not have ended so quickly without assistance.

The problem is a bit big.

Kong Yanzhou touched his forehead and sweated on his hands.

Why?Why was Zhao Kaishan so eager to trouble him?
In fact, if he hadn't carried out the scorched-earth cleaning tactics against Caozhou and Shanzhou, Zhao Kaishan might not have made a desperate move towards Kaifeng, but he did slap Zhao Kaishan hard, and Zhao Kaishan had already hated him.

Kong Yanzhou could only order the forced recruitment of the signing army, and use a small number of regular troops to control a large number of signing troops on both sides of the Yellow River tributaries in the east of Kaifeng.

Kong Yanzhou is an out-and-out scumbag in terms of personality, but as he has led troops for many years, he has a very good understanding of military issues and is an expert in military issues.

No matter how talented, the experience is enough.

Therefore, although the Restoration Army was numerous and powerful, it was not able to take advantage of Kong Yanzhou on the frontal battlefield.

Kong Yanzhou was also good at using a small number of cavalry to launch surprise attacks, which posed a certain threat to the Restoration Army.

Angrily, Zhao Kaishan ordered the cavalry of the Restoration Army to launch a strong attack, trying to compete with the cavalry of the Jin Army, but the cavalry of the Restoration Army was indeed almost meaningless in this regard, and it was difficult to compete with the cavalry of the Jin Army.

It was difficult for the Restoration Army to break through the defense line of the Jin Army for a while, and the Jin Army was also limited by the shortage of combat troops, making it difficult to expel the Restoration Army.

The battle quickly reached a stalemate.

But after the battle was at a stalemate, what Kong Yanzhou was most worried about was not the Restoration Army led by Zhao Kaishan, but whether the Southern Song Dynasty in the south would take the opportunity to launch an attack.

This is the concern raised by his dog-headed military division. He said that Zhao Kaishan made such a big move to attack Kaifeng, it is difficult to say that there will be no action from the Southern Song Dynasty. .

Can Kong Yanzhou alone deal with both the Liberation Army and the Song Army?

Kong Yanzhou felt a cold sweat on his back at that time—this was something he had never thought of before attacking Caozhou and Shanzhou. Of course, if he had thought of it, he would not have rashly dispatched troops.

This is the situation now, and there is no other way but to be more prepared and order the border states to enter a state of emergency.

Kong Yanzhou could only ask God to worship Buddha, and pray that God would bless the Southern Song Dynasty not to send troops north to cooperate with the Restoration Army.

The situation here in the Southern Song Dynasty is actually quite complicated.

On the one hand, Chen Chengzhi was very shocked after receiving the notification from Zhao Kaishan, and immediately brought the matter up to the sky to let the emperor Zhao Gou know.

Zhao Gou was also shocked when he found out, so he immediately approached the ministers of Zaisuke to discuss.

The uprising of the Restoration Army developed even better in the Central Plains, and in full swing, Zhao Kaishan not only captured Daming Mansion, but also planned to advance Nanjing Road and conquer Kaifeng Mansion.

He will launch an attack on Kaifeng Mansion with [-] troops. When attacking Kaifeng, in order to prevent the Jin army from sending troops north from the border to support him, he hopes that Lin'an can send troops to support him and contain the frontier troops on Nanjing Road.

All in all, the two sides can work together to conquer Nanjing Road. Later, if the Southern Song Dynasty wants Kaifeng Mansion, he is also very willing to welcome Zhao Guan's family back to the old capital.

He also asked, does Zhao Guan's family miss their hometown?

In fact, these words are a little disrespectful to Zhao Gou, and they feel a little strange.

But when Zhao Gou heard this, he couldn't help but think of the place where he was born and raised - Kaifeng.

It is a very prosperous city. Although it is in Jiangbei, it has prosperity and prosperity that Jiangnan cannot match.

With a large population and prosperous commerce, the entire city can see the flow of people from sunrise to sunset to late at night. It is a city that never sleeps.

The mutton dishes in that city are really delicious, to the point where Zhao Gou still can't forget it decades ago.

Although the mutton in Lin'an is also made by top chefs, it is also delicious.

He had the best time there and had a deep affection for the city.

Of course, this kind of feeling naturally cannot surpass the desire to survive, so when the desire to survive is at its peak, no matter how Zong Ze shouts, he will not return there.

Zong Ze shouted hoarsely until he vomited blood and died, but he was unmoved.

He has long been frightened, scared out of the psychological shadow, Kaifeng is a mental barrier that he can't overcome, he wants to go back, but he dare not.

He was conflicted to the extreme, and almost had a split personality. Whenever he wanted to do something, he would fight each other, and then choose to be content with the status quo, and would not make any changes.

In short, Zhao Gou is content with the status quo.

As long as it's safe and sound, it's fine.

He doesn't like anyone who tries to get him into trouble by breaking the status quo.

And this is something that Chen Kangbo very much disagrees with.
