Chapter 412 These two are a match made in heaven

Su Yonglin didn't know the conversation between the two and their different considerations for the future.

Right now, he doesn't have the time to think about what happened after the Great Unification.

While collecting information from Hebei, he arranged for the defense of Caozhou and Shanzhou, and then he did not forget to arrange the northward battle of the navy under Sun Ziyi.

After going north many times, the water army has restrained more than 1 troops of the Jin Army in Daxing Mansion, allowing the Jin Army to set up multiple camps on the only way to the central capital, strictly guarding against death, and completely giving up and restoring. The possibility of armies competing at sea.

But Su Yonglin never thought of giving up the attempt to use the navy to attack the Jin army's rear.

Originally, his goal was to attack Zhongdu and frighten people's hearts, but as the Jin army's defense against Zhongdu strengthened, the possibility of a surprise attack on Zhongdu decreased, and it was already a great result to contain more than 1 troops.

Next, relying solely on his "Marines" would be difficult to open up the Central Capital, so while Su Yonglin continued to attack the Central Capital to attract attention, he was considering new tactics.

The Golden Army cavalry can come and go freely on land, while his navy can come and go freely on the sea, and they are all free.

The only difference is that the free cavalry of the Jin army cannot cut off the logistics of the free navy army under his command, but he can.

Time passed slowly, and the situation on the Hebei battlefield was undergoing subtle changes.

Since the full-scale war began, Wanyanliang has encountered several setbacks in the face of Hejian City, and cannot advance an inch.

The logistics became increasingly difficult and the weather was cold. The signing troops and civilian husbands who were responsible for transporting the grain were starved to death and frozen to death in large numbers because of the lack of clothing and food.

As a result, the grievances of the army and the people boiled over, and several small-scale riots broke out between the signing troops and the civilians, trying to escape from the military camp and escape to their hometown.

But this is not the final solution to the problem, and many people, including Wanyan Liang, know this truth.

Faced with such a situation, Wanyanliang with a livid face met the generals in charge of commanding the attack in his military tent.

Seeing them all with their heads bowed and not daring to say a word, he felt angry.

"How many people are there on the top of the thief army city? How many people are we responsible for attacking? A thief army in a mere area will make you into this virtue! This is the first city we will meet! The first one! Go! I still don’t know how many such cities exist, do you want me to bury all my elite soldiers under the city?”

Looking at Wanyan Liang who was furious, the generals did not dare to say a word.

It was Wanyan Benjian who bravely stood up and gave Wanyanliang feedback.

"Your Majesty, although the bandit army is a bandit army, its ability to defend the city is not weak, and its firearms are excellent.

"Old General, do you mean that in this offensive and defensive battle, the Dajin army is not as good as a mere thief army?"

Wanyanliang stared at Wanyan Benjian with a death stare, but Wanyan Benjian was timid, but dared not tell the truth.

"Looking at the situation of the thieves defending the city, unless the thieves' weapons are exhausted and the gold juice is exhausted, otherwise, even if we compete with the thieves in numbers, it will be difficult for our army to take the Hejian City. It may lose too many troops here and affect the overall situation."

Wan Yanliang frowned.

"You mean, you want me to stop attacking Hejian?"

"The old minister just felt that there might be more important things to do than to attack Hejian."

"........."

Wanyanliang held back his anger and asked, "If we don't capture Hejian, how will our army's logistics and rations be guaranteed? If we don't capture Hejian, how many soldiers and horses will be left here to surround Hejian? You are also a veteran, why? Can you say something like that?"

"Your Majesty, isn't this the purpose of the bandit army?"

Wanyan Ben said sadly: "Don't the thieves just want our army to be in a dilemma? It makes our army in a dilemma, exhausts our army's rations, and forces our army to return without success. My Golden Kingdom is crumbling... Your Majesty, isn't this the purpose of the bandit army?"

Seeing this, Wanyan Ben really made the anger in Wanyan Liang's heart slowly subside.

He suddenly felt that what Wanyan Benjian said was not completely unreasonable.

The Restoration Army used a lot of manpower and material resources to build a fortified city like Hejian City. The so-called is nothing more than delaying his progress, consuming his food and troops, and turning the war from a war of conquest to a protracted war.

This combat mode will greatly weaken the Jin army's advantages in cavalry, and maximize the advantages of the Liberation Army's infantry and firearms, causing the Jin army to be defeated, demoralized, and unstable.

In order to restore the morale of the army, Wanyanliang had to order more meat for the army, so as to improve morale and stabilize the morale of the army.

This strategy is of course possible, but it costs a lot of money, and Wanyanliang is not willing to feed these big soldiers too well. Don't the landlords have no surplus food these days?
The current situation is that if the Hejian offensive and defensive battle continues, Wanyanliang's war cost will continue to increase until he can't bear it.

"The thief army has sinister intentions."

Wanyan Liang pounded on the table and said with hatred, "But Hejian City can't be left alone, Hejian City can't be left alone, there will never be a peaceful day in the rear of our army, and this battle can't be fought at all, what do you think? A way out."

Wanyanliang has never fallen behind in pitting his own people. According to his historical achievements, his ability in this area can even be compared to Zhao Gou's.

It's just that he is an objective necessity, and he may not have such an idea subjectively, while Zhao Gou is a subjective personal idea.

However, the various behaviors of the two inexplicably brought the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Jin into a fork in the road, making the Southern Song unable to expedition to the north, and the Northern Jin difficult to invade the south.

Needless to say, these two are a match made in heaven.

Right now, the generals of the Jin army are quite embarrassed by the needs of the emperor. You look at me, I look at you, and finally they turn their attention to Wanyan Benjian.

Wanyan Benjian suddenly felt that he had become the scapegoat of the entire army. He suddenly felt that he should not have come to participate in this war, wouldn't it be good to enjoy his old age?
With a long sigh, Wanyan Benjian made a few suggestions on military issues, which were adopted by Wanyan Liang, but this was not enough to change the current battle situation.

Wanyan Liang was displeased and scolded the generals, who flinched and did not dare to be right.

At this moment, Wanyan Liang's favorite and Zuo Dujian Xu Lin thought about it and took the initiative to stand up.

"Your Majesty, I have a word, I don't know if I should say it or not."

"speak!"

Wan Yanliang was not in a good mood.

"Here."

Xu Lin took the order and said, "I heard the report from the commander-in-chief of the right army, that the army was blocked in Boye, Lizhou, and Boye City resisted desperately. Desperate resistance, Hedong troops and horses attack was blocked.

The three-way army was blocked by the three cities of Zhending, Boye, and Hejian, respectively. The three cities were closely guarded, and the guards were elite. Defender battle.

And for the past few days, our army has gone out to explore the entire Hejian Mansion, and found some rural docks. There are people living in the docks and armed guards. According to the minister's speculation, it should be a part of the thief army's strong walls and clear fields. And Hejian House has it, and other areas should have it too. "

Wanyan Liang nodded when she heard the words.

"Well, it should be right, so what?"

"So, the minister thought that we should suspend the strong attack on Hejian City, turn the attack into defense, and then let the army attack those dock castles, which are far less difficult to attack than Hejian City, and can even be said to be easier to conquer.

Our army should be able to successfully conquer those fortresses. In this way, we can not only obtain food, property, and materials that our army is in short supply in the fortresses, but also people. This is very helpful to our army. "

Wan Yanliang frowned.

"When the army is marching, it is inconvenient to rob too many people. It is enough, and the others are killed. The thieves must be killed, so that the rest of the people will never dare to follow the thieves!"

Xu Lin shook his head.

"Your Majesty, the looted population has a better use."

"What? Better use?"

"Yes."

Xu Lin said, "Your Majesty thinks that in this battle, it is enough to defeat the bandit army and recover Hebei and Shandong?"
