Qiming 1158

Chapter 387

Su Yonglin knew a lot about Jin Guo's system of Meng An Muck. He had inquired about it for three or four years before he planned to go north, so he knew that Yelu Yuanyi had not lied.

"That is to say, Meng'an's army seems to be elite, with a large number of people, but in fact it is weak and vulnerable to a single blow?"

"Compared with signing the army, it is still stronger. At least there are one or two martial arts exercises every year, so that you don't know how to use the weapons. Some teams have relatively good family traditions. If they insist on performing martial arts, they may be more elite."

Yelu Yuanyi opened his mouth and said: "Nevertheless, it is impossible to compare with the elites of the forbidden army and the frontier army. Most of the elites of the forbidden army and the frontier army are cavalry, with superb equestrian skills and skillful tactics. , not to be underestimated.”

"Such elites, how many are Wanyan Liang's subordinates this time?"

"Wanyanliang himself commanded less than [-], but it wasn't much less than that. If you count the troops from Hedong and Kaifeng, it would not be less than [-]."

Yelu Yuanyi was a little worried and said: "Among the main forces under Wanyanliang's own leadership, in addition to Meng'an's mobilization and signing the army, he also dispatched elite frontier troops from the northwest and Liaodong to gather in the central capital to strengthen the southern expedition army. Fighting power, but there are Mongolian cavalry on the grasslands that need to be guarded against, and they dare not dispatch all of them."

"Isn't that too much?"

Su Yonglin sighed and said, "Wanyan's [-] cavalry nearly killed me back then, let alone [-] elites? Fortunately, I didn't plan to fight him on the Great Plain of Hebei, otherwise I will definitely be eaten by him."

"Compared to the more than [-] elite cavalry at the beginning of Jin Guoguo, this is no longer worth mentioning. Over the years, Jin Guo's force has also declined somewhat. Wanyanliang always mentions how strong and powerful the Jin Guo iron cavalry was in the beginning. , it is nothing more than that now is not as good as before.”

Yelu Yuanyi tried to cheer Su Yonglin: "The general must not worry too much about the iron cavalry of the Jin Kingdom. Although there is no danger in Hebei's horse and Pingchuan, the elite of the general's army will not be helpless."

"Of course I won't be helpless."

Su Yonglin smiled: "According to what you just said, Wanyanliang's current situation is very bad, and there are many people in the Jin Dynasty who oppose him. Is this true?"

"Really, Wen Dunsizhong, the elder of the four dynasties, opposed his unreserved conscription to the Khitans before. He didn't listen and even put Wen Dunsizhong under house arrest. Later, the Khitans rebelled, and the government and the opposition rioted."

Yelu Yuanyi nodded: "This matter has made many old ministers very dissatisfied with him, and the Jurchen officials are especially dissatisfied with him. In addition, the subsequent defeats, and the general's navy's attack on the coastal prefectures of the Jin Kingdom, let the court and the public go up and down. There are more and more voices dissatisfied with him."

Having said that, Yelu Yuanyi lowered his voice slightly and said, "This time, the reason why I took the lead in attacking when the main force of the army was not ready is because Wanyanliang couldn't stand the opposition of the government and the opposition. sound.

He urgently needs me to attack Hebei, so that he can attract the attention of the court and the opposition, and let the court and opposition pay attention to my record, instead of putting pressure on Wanyanliang blindly. "

"Oh? How could that be?"

"Of course, the general's navy was sharp and attacked everywhere, causing many states and capitals in the Jin Kingdom to be unsafe, and there were a lot of complaints from the people and officials, which made Wanyanliang unable to live in peace. Wanyanliang urgently ordered me to attack, just to divert my attention. ."

Yelu Yuanyi said with a look of anger: "This person is irritable and irritable, mean and unkind. He only thinks about himself, not for the country. Let him be the emperor, and Jin Guo's anger is here."

Su Yonglin looked at Yelu Yuanyi and felt that his dissatisfaction with Wanyanliang seemed to be quite serious.

"It seems that your dissatisfaction with Wanyanliang is quite serious?"

"........."

Yelu Yuanyi was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and smiled awkwardly: "Maybe."

He should have some things to hide, but he didn't want to say, Su Yonglin didn't force him, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future.

Everything he explained now has given Su Yonglin a more comprehensive understanding of Jin Jun's level.

The fighting power that Wanyanliang's last fight broke out was quite impressive.

At least from Su Yonglin's point of view, if he were to face off against this military force, he would be crushed to the ground in all likelihood.

Shandong and Hebei will soon be broken through, and they will be torn apart in a mess. The basic basic game he has worked so hard to lay down will be hit hard, and it is hard to say whether a similar counterattack can be effective.

In the same way, if all this military force is used to deal with the wars of the Southern Song Dynasty, the Southern Song Dynasty will definitely not get any benefits.

Su Yonglin also knew a lot about the military situation in the Southern Song Dynasty.

There are about 40 regular troops in the country, mainly distributed in the Jianghuai Theater, Jingchu Theater and Sichuan Theater, which are one-sided defense. If Wan Yanliang only attacked from one point, the mobile forces that the Southern Song Dynasty could use were quite limited.

If Jin Guo attacked in a few more ways and suppressed the elite troops in the various theaters of the Southern Song Dynasty, it would be almost impossible for the Song army in the Jianghuai area to fight the real elite brought by Wanyan Liang alone.

That is to say, the Song Jun navy is strong. If the Song Jun navy pulls his hips, it will be over.

In terms of the total amount of military forces, there is not much difference in the number of troops between the two countries, and they are basically the same. However, in terms of elite combat power, the Jin State has about [-] cavalry, and its strength is obviously superior.

After the Southern Song Dynasty lost Yue Fei and other generals, the army's combat effectiveness declined seriously. From the early state of being able to compete with the Jin army and not falling behind to the current state of eating, drinking, and having fun, the wealth left by the Yue family's army to the Song army has almost come to an end. .

This time Wan Yanliang went south, the elite of about 8 people seemed small in number, but they were actually very scary. If they were all used on one point, they could break through any Song army's defense line.

Judging from the current level of the Song army, unless Yue Fei was resurrected, or Meng Gong, the master of mobile defense, entered the historical stage ahead of time, the Southern Song Dynasty should not be able to withstand the Jin army's attack.

Of course, this is purely a military consideration, and history will not look at the two countries from a purely military perspective.

In fact, the degree of political corruption in these two countries is that big brother don't laugh at second brother.

After Wanyan Liang's death and the chaos of Wanyan Yong's ascension, the elite team in Wanyan Liang's hands was indeed devoid of energy, so that the offensive launched by the Southern Song Dynasty was victorious.

Later, Wanyan Yong counterattacked, took back the lost land, and beat Song Bing again, but he was unable to continue his journey south.

The two sides have once again returned to a strategic equilibrium, and neither can do anything about the other.

To put it simply, the two sides are relatively bad, and the degree of badness has just reached a balanced level.

Sometimes Su Yonglin also feels that history is very strange, making Zhao Gou and Wanyanliang the emperors of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom, and then rivals.

These two people can be regarded as the spies of the other party in the Jin Kingdom and the Southern Song Dynasty.

A self-destructing Great Wall.

One exploded in situ.

The two joined hands and succeeded in destroying the Southern Song Dynasty's hope of restoring the homeland and the Jin Kingdom's unification of the Southern Song Dynasty, making future generations sigh with embarrassment.

What to say?

Light up for a while?
Excellent matching mechanism in East Asia in the mid-twelfth century?
History is sometimes dark...

After returning to Hejian Mansion after the end of the war, Su Yonglin had only one task left - to wait for Wanyan Liang to officially launch an attack on Hebei.

He has already done everything he can and should do, and the rest is catching up with the progress. He can only urge him to help him, and he can't help himself.

So he slowly led the troops south.

In this war, the command core of the Restoration Army was located in Jinan, and Su Yonglin was also located in Jinan. The entire Hebei was a strategic buffer zone. After the buffer, Su Yonglin would launch an attack in Shandong against the Jin Army, which had passed through the buffer with slow fronts and difficult logistics.

This kind of thing, he has long made it clear to the generals and local armed forces of the thirty defense cities, their task is to defend, delay the pace of the Jin Army's advance, and contain their forces.

Then there is the deadly defense. As long as the main force of the Jin army is still besieging the city, it will not be able to die.

Whether it is surrounded or not, in short, don't go out of the city to fight in the field.

Until the Jin army lost confidence in the siege and was about to bypass the city and continue southward, the camera went out of the city to attack the Jin army's logistical supplies.

All in all, the main task of the [-] cities is to stick to the local area and wait for him to lead the main elite troops to win the big counterattack.
