Chapter 470 Now that we have seen the Great Wall, is it a hero?

At the same time as the wind was surging in Zhongdu City, after Sun Ziyi led the army to surround Zhongdu, there were also some new actions.

He knew that it would be difficult to take the Central Capital City by force with the current military strength, so he adopted a strategy of sieging and not attacking, while besieging the city to consume the stored grain, water and various living materials in the city, while strengthening his own army.

This is the opinion of Mao Lexin, the chief commander of the operation who followed Sun Ziyi to the north.

He believes that the Liberation Army has expanded too many troops in a short period of time, and it seems that its combat effectiveness has increased. In fact, this cannot be said. Maybe a large expansion of the army in a short period of time will weaken the combat effectiveness of the Liberation Army.

Most of the new soldiers who joined the Restoration Army were locals in the Yanyun area. Although they harbored deep hatred for Jin and Jurchen, and experienced ideological education, they still had quite a few limitations.

They need further political and ideological education and military training. Otherwise, with the current situation, it may be okay to follow the Liberation Army to fight against the wind. Once they encounter setbacks, they will most likely want to go home.

Sun Ziyi was very interested in this and supported Mao Lexin's suggestion, so this suggestion was adopted and implemented, and all the instructors in the army were responsible for it, giving the recruits cultural education and taking political classes by the way.

Of course, military training must not be left behind. The officers of the Liberation Army need to give particularly strict military guidance to the recruits, and the life and learning indicators should be completely close to the veterans of the Liberation Army.

So, just under Zhongdu City, just outside the capital of the Jin Kingdom, the Restoration Army began training and educating new recruits while besieging the city, preparing to assimilate them into the large group of the Restoration Army.

The army is the most able to assimilate people, not to mention that most of these signing troops are honest peasants, and their obedience is quite good.

Inside and outside Zhongdu City entered a stage of strategic stalemate, and the situation on Su Jue's side was similar.

After splitting up with Sun Ziyi, Su Jue did not hurry, but asked the Yanyun locals who followed him, took a military map of the Yanyun area and fumbled with the locals for a while, and figured out a feasible solution. route.

Su Jue believes that attacking from the land all the way, although it can be successful, but the loss must be not small, and the logistics requirements are also high.

At present, the logistics of the army he leads are not so superior. The battle in the rear has not stopped, and the outcome has not yet been decided. Too much reliance on this unstable logistics may lead to disaster.

Therefore, Su Jue decided to find another way and planned to rely on the superior naval forces of the Restoration Army to reach Yuguan by water.

Try to take Yuguan by surprise, then attack along the inside and outside of the Great Wall, continue to capture this section of the Great Wall, gradually sweep the surrounding Jinjun military strongholds, open up a new base, and be self-sufficient.

This plan is quite feasible, and the Liberation Army has many ships, which can not only carry people, but also transport food. The logistics route is much safer than the land route, which can basically guarantee safety.

Marching at sea and transporting grain are the unique advantages of the Restoration Army. The Jin Army without a navy cannot disrupt this operation, let alone discover this operation, and will not put Su Jue's raiding troops in crisis.

Just do what you say, the speed is fast, Su Jue thinks about trying to win Yuguan before the news of the advance of the Liberation Army's advancing Yanyun reaches Yuguan, that is the best.

Su Jue's action has always been very strong, and he takes action when he says it, and there is no procrastination at all.

On the same day when Sun Ziyi surrounded Zhongdu, that is, on the 28th of the first lunar month, he led [-] vanguard surprise attack troops to go by sea. After several days of traveling by sea, he unexpectedly raided Yuguan and successfully conquered Yuguan.

There are not many defenders of the Yuguan Jin Army, because there is no warning of war, the defenders are about 2000 people.

This figure is still due to the previous Khitan rebellion. In order to prevent the Khitan rebels from attacking the land of Yanyun, and along the way to protect the food, they temporarily increased troops to guard Yuguan.

Yuguan itself was built to prevent the Northeast foreign regime from entering North China, but the Jin Kingdom itself was established by the Northeast regime entering the Central Plains, and there was no need to guard against its own nest, so Yuguan never cared much.

So much so that they had no defense against the attack of the Restoration Army, and they did not have any effective resistance to the attack of the Restoration Army, and they were quickly captured by Su Jue.

So Su Jue successfully controlled this important northeastern town that had been lost to aliens since the Five Dynasties period.

After winning Yuguan, Su Jue did not stop, and quickly expanded the living space of the army to the north and west, laying the foundation for the arrival of the follow-up troops, and quickly captured Funing.

With Funing and Yuguan as strongholds, Su Jue arranged defenses here and waited for the arrival of the follow-up troops. After the follow-up troops arrived, Su Jue ordered the army to continue to attack north and west, cut off the surrounding threats, and strive to win the entire Pingzhou.

By the first ten days of February, under the rapid action of Su Jue's subordinates, the officials and troops of the Jin Kingdom in Pingzhou were unable to resist, and a large number of them fled westward.

So the Restoration Army took Lulong, Hai'an, Changli, Qian'an and other counties one after another, quickly pacified Pingzhou, annihilated more than a thousand gold troops, and captured many.

Not only were there local seizures, but also a batch of grain and strong men that seemed to be transported to Liaodong.

This made Su Jue feel as comfortable as swallowing a big piece of meat.

After pacifying Pingzhou, Su Jue had a reliable temporary base, and continued to march in the direction of Luanzhou and Jizhou to expand the living space.

Because the specific news has not yet spread to the Pingzhou area, in addition to the military crisis is not strong for the time being, the Jurchen fierce Anmoke households living in this area have not had time to relocate.

So Su Jue resolutely began a large-scale liquidation in the counties of Pingzhou.

He sent troops to the countryside and swept away the Mengan Moke households. He also swept away the local bureaucrats and Jurchen dignitaries in the county town. , trial, as well as accumulating the prestige of the Restoration Army and establishing the ruling position of the Restoration Army.

Of course, ordinary people in the area would like to see it happen.

Taking advantage of this wave, Su Jue began to distribute the confiscated land held by Mengan Moke households and Jurchen dignitaries to their former tenant households and poor peasants, registered them, built new countryside, and quickly built a new base for the Restoration Army.

In this regard, as an elite brought out by Su Yonglin, Su Jue is quite good at it, quite professional.

As a result, a large number of low-level peasants who got land quickly accepted the Liberation Army and supported the Liberation Army very much.

When the Liberation Army recruited soldiers to raise food, they were very willing to send their children to join the army, and they were willing to use their own food to support the Liberation Army.

After the local farmers were appeased, Su Jue was able to successfully develop the forces of the Restoration Army in this area.

It was at this time that Su Jue led the people all the way north, and finally saw the legendary Great Wall in the Yanshan Mountains.

After more than 200 years, the Han army from the Central Plains finally saw the Great Wall left to them by their ancestors again.

Built on the mountain, relying on the dangers of mountains and rivers to successfully protect the north of China.

Standing above Guancheng, Su Jue stretched out his hand and stroked the ancient masonry, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Alang can't always say that the Great Wall is not a hero. Now that we have seen the Great Wall, is it a hero?"

Su Jue looked at the group of generals who followed him.

The generals were also so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

Sure enough, what is lost is the best, but when you master it, you don’t cherish it very much. Right now, the officers of the Liberation Army are looking at Guancheng, stroking everything on Guancheng, feeling the emotion of what was lost and found, and they are full of emotion.

After more than 200 years, the Han army from the Central Plains finally returned.

However, this is just the beginning.

The trumpet of the destruction of the Jin Kingdom has just sounded, the Jin Kingdom has not yet been destroyed, and the Jin Kingdom still has a certain strength. In Hedong, Guanzhong, and Liaodong, the Jin Kingdom still has a certain basis for ruling.

So now is definitely not the time to celebrate. After a little emotion, you can start thinking about your next actions.

So Su Jue quickly returned to Yuguan, stood on the city of Yuguan Pass, ordered the repair of Yuguan, and prepared for defense, ready to deal with the army that Jin Guo might return to the Central Plains from Liaodong at any time.

At this moment, Su Jue's eyes turned to the northeast.

"Do you know who built Yuguan?"

Su Jue asked Lu Tang, his lieutenant.
