Qiming 1158

Chapter 290 Zhao Kaishan seems to have seen the dawn of his own

Zhao Kaishan's head is still clear at this time, and he knows who can hit and who can't.

This kind of war cannot accept defeat. In order to ensure victory, Zhao Kaishan can be regarded as the elite, and he has brought out the strongest team he can come up with.

He didn't let the Zhao family's scumbag generals dispatch, but let Li Xiao, Chen Qiaoshan, and Zhou Zhi take turns to fight, Zhao Yucheng led the team to give them the bottom line, and let them lead their respective troops with combat experience to fight against the Jin soldiers.

These people are all strong generals who have been honed and can fight well. They have a certain level of generals. Of course, they are better looking than the group of pit bulls. Proceed west.

After making considerable sacrifices, the Liberation Army pushed the front all the way to the fork of the Yellow River not far east of Kaifeng Mansion, and was blocked by the Yellow River.

In order to prevent the Restoration Army from taking the opportunity to cross the river, Kong Yanzhou destroyed all the bridges in advance, and took all the ships into his own hands.

As long as you cross this river, the road for the Restoration Army to attack Kaifeng is really smooth.

But crossing the river is not easy, it needs boats, it is necessary to clear up the Jinjun navy on the river, or find another reliable crossing point for forced crossing.

At this time, it was already early April, and Zhao Kaishan ordered that the army must complete the crossing of the river and march towards Kaifeng within ten days. This requirement made some officers on the front line feel very embarrassed.

But what Zhao Kaishan wanted was only victory. He forced all the armies not to bargain with him. Everything was for victory, everything was for the purpose of conquering Kaifeng. .

Under the temptation of the reward, the tired Liberation Army once again broke out with the will to fight. They cut down trees, hurried ferries, and prepared to cross the river by force.

The Guangfu Army and the Jin Army faced each other across a river, and there were small-scale battles from time to time. Although there was no problem for a while, the Guangfu Army was huge in numbers. Once the river was successfully crossed, Kaifeng would be very dangerous.

Kong Yanzhou accelerated and dispatched troops to defend Kaifeng, mobilized troops to set up defense lines, and sent more troops to the front line and the Restoration Army to face the line, trying to stop their progress.

At this time, Jing Sihui, a political advisor from the central government, arrived in Kaifeng under the escort of the army, and brought a large number of craftsmen and building materials to build a Kaifeng palace for Wanyanliang.

He is in charge of this matter together with the left prime minister Zhang Hao.

In order to do things faster, Zhang Hao negotiated with him, one in Zhongdu and the other in Kaifeng. It is more convenient to communicate back and forth, and it is convenient to handle various affairs.

So he came.

As a result, he learned that Kaifeng was being threatened by the Restoration Army, and Kong Yanzhou was dispatching troops to fight the Restoration Army.

After learning about the current Kaifeng war, Jing Sihui was taken aback.

"The bandit army can actually threaten Kaifeng? How could this be?"

Of course, Kong Yanzhou would not speak out about his initiative to attack the Liberation Army. After all, it seems that the reason for the Guangfu Army to attack Kaifeng at all costs is probably caused by Kong Yanzhou's initiative to attack Caozhou and Shanzhou.

Kong Yanzhou would not choose to take the blame at this time.

So he lied, saying that how the Restoration Army chooses to attack is not something he can control, and all he can do is to resist with all his strength.

Jing Sihui quickly asked about the specific situation.

"How about the war now? Can we win? Is Kaifeng in danger?"

"Of course there is no danger!"

Kong Yanzhou quickly patted his chest and said that there was no problem: "Although the thief army is numerous and powerful, but our army is elite, waiting for work, and there is danger of the Yellow River, the thief army will definitely not be able to break through our defense line."

Jing Sihui had heard about Kong Yanzhou's absurd behavior for a long time, and looked at him suspiciously.

"It's better, Kong Liushou, you must be clear about what Kaifeng means to Your Majesty. If Kaifeng is not guaranteed, it will not only be the loss of a city, but also the life of Kong Liushou. Needless to say? "

Kong Yanzhou wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"I see……"

Jing Sihui did not understand the military, he was a pure civil servant, and he came here to build a palace.

Because of Wanyanliang's strict order, even if the current situation is not good, the construction of the palace cannot be slowed down, otherwise it will obstruct Wanyanliang's southward expedition plan, not to mention the official position, whether the head can be kept is a problem.

It happened that Kaifeng City and a large number of signing troops and civilians who were mobilized by Kong Yanzhou could be used, and the construction of Kaifeng Palace could begin.

Since the Jin Kingdom captured Kaifeng, it has experienced the two puppet regimes of the pseudo-Chu and Qi, and the city of Kaifeng has returned to some of its original appearance, some buildings have been restored, and some palaces have also been maintained.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with being a forward base. If it is a national capital, it may be almost meaningless, but it is not impossible.

But Wanyanliang was a person who wanted to be a great emperor. Compared with Kaifeng City in the Northern Song Dynasty, he was not qualified to be the capital of a great emperor. Kaifeng City had to be renovated according to the highest specifications.

No matter how much money is spent, how much manpower and material resources are spent, it must be built in full style, surpassing Kaifeng in the Northern Song Dynasty and becoming a brand new Kaifeng.

Only in this way is it worthy of the identity of the emperor who unifies China.

It can also lay a good foundation for him to attack the Southern Song Dynasty and ask for a good omen.

He thought so.

Regarding this matter, many officials in the DPRK and China also privately criticized, thinking that if the money can be used for the army, I am afraid that the army of the Jin Kingdom will be able to strengthen to a higher level.

But Wanyan Liang wanted to renovate Kaifeng City.

At this moment when thieves from both the north and the south launched a rebellion, he actually had to renovate Kaifeng City!

Someone tried to stop him by writing a letter, but remembering that Wen Dunsizhong, who is still under house arrest and cannot go out, can only die.

Who let them stand with such an emperor?

Seeing that a large part of the logistics prepared for the army was taken by Jing Sihui to build the palace, Kong Yanzhou did not dare to speak, and could only admit that he was unlucky, and continued to organize defensive operations with the limited resources left.

Due to lack of food, lack of horses and vehicles, the number of the front-line Golden Army has been unable to increase.

The Restoration Army's offensive has been very fierce. In the past few days, because the number of ships on hand has increased, it has launched several threatening beach landings.

It even came close to succeeding once.

Chen Qiaoshan unconsciously used a formation similar to the Queyue Formation. After landing on the beach, he ordered his subordinates to form a formation with their backs on the river water, and let all their ships land in the space created by their formation, trying to increase the number of troops crossing the river and gain a firm foothold.

This situation was noticed by Kong Yanzhou, and Kong Yanzhou immediately realized that the big thing was not good. Once the Liberation Army gained a firm foothold and the strength of the troops increased, he might not be able to hold on.

Therefore, Kong Yanzhou immediately dispatched Xia Ou, the most valiant general under his command, and let him lead the cavalry to storm Chen Qiaoshan's army.

At the same time, the remaining navy ships of the Jin Army also launched a violent attack on the ships of the Restoration Army under the heavy reward of Kong Yanzhou, and the two sides fought extremely fiercely on the He River.

In the end, Chen Qiaoshan's broken enemy army was exhausted because of the long battle and could no longer fight in formation. Under the impact of the Jin Army's cavalry, it was torn apart and collapsed.

Xia Ou led the troops to attack in a big way, defeated the enemy army in one fell swoop, and drove off the river bank. The enemy army lost more than [-] people in battle and drowned more than [-] people. Chen Qiaoshan escaped by boat only under the desperate cover of his subordinates. , no casualties.

The enemy army was severely hit, morale declined, and it was impossible to fight again for a while.

Of course, Kong Yanzhou also paid a considerable price, losing a group of cavalry and a group of ships, and the defensive strength was greatly weakened.

Zhao Kaishan was very angry, he did not stop fighting, and replaced other troops to fight, never giving Jin Jun a chance to breathe.

Zhao Yucheng led the Tabai Army to take over Chen Qiaoshan's main attack mission. He led troops to attack the river bank defenses several times and was defeated several times, but Zhao Yucheng was not discouraged and continued to organize troops to attack.

As the Restoration Army mastered more and more ships, the Jin Army navy began to lose, and it was only a matter of time before the defense line was broken through.

Zhao Kaishan seemed to see the dawn of his own.

Kong Yanzhou also hurriedly found Jing Sihui, tried to explain the situation to him, and got back some supplies and transportation capacity, so that he could organize the army to continue to resist.

However, at this important juncture, on the third day of April, Zhao Kaishan was shocked to hear that his rear had been hit.

His army was taken back by a group of Jin Jun cavalry, destroying a lot of grain and fodder, and the defense forces of Caozhou and Shanzhou were also defeated.

This is good, not only the food supply is gone, but Caozhou and Shanzhou are lost again, Zhao Kaishan is shocked.

He immediately realized that if Caozhou and Shanzhou could not be recaptured, he would lose his way back to the base area, and his main force would be isolated from the base area, with unimaginable consequences.

So almost immediately, Zhao Kaishan immediately ordered the army to return to help.

Zhou Zhi, who had performed well in the previous war, was ordered in danger and led You Yi's army to quickly return to aid Caozhou and Shanzhou, and recapture Caozhou and Shanzhou.
