I am Da Song

Chapter 184

Nanguan Town is the gateway of the Weisheng Army, located beside the Nirvana River and at the foot of Hujia Mountain, it can be said that it is surrounded by mountains and rivers.It is the most typical landform of mountains and rivers inside and outside the river.

If the Jin army wanted to enter the Weisheng army from Taiyuan Mansion, it had to walk through this narrow and dangerous pass.

The Jin army marched south from the north in early July, and it was not until the end of July that it was harassed by the cavalry of the Song army and marched to this important military site.

Standing at the foot of Hujia Mountain, Nianhan looked gloomyly at the Song Army camp on the mountain with its banners unfurled and its fortified walls, without any movement for half an hour.

Tens of thousands of troops garrisoned at the foot of the mountain could not move forward, which soon caused dissatisfaction among some in the army.

There was a sound of heavy armor hitting, and a group of people walked over noisyly amidst the clatter of the armor.

Nianhan's personal guard immediately stepped forward to stop him, and before he could say a few words, a fierce conflict broke out between the two sides.

The visitors were extremely arrogant, more than a dozen people held up their sheathed waist knives and smashed them. Several of Nianhan's personal guards couldn't react in time, they were smashed with blood on their faces, and then they were kicked down by the visitors.

Nianhan turned around and saw a row of his own bodyguards falling to his feet with their faces covered in blood, this scene made him instantly angry, he gritted his teeth and looked at the person who came, tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart, and asked: "Pluhu! What do you mean?"

Pu Luhu is Wanyan Zongpan, the eldest son of Emperor Wanyansheng of the Jin Dynasty. However, the descendants of Taizong's family are so Sinicized that they basically no longer call themselves by their Jurchen names, but by their Chinese names.

But it is precisely because of the deep degree of Sinicization that they admire fathers and sons more and more, and they have great hostility towards the clan's elders and important ministers who advocate brothers and brothers.

At the beginning of this year, the West Route Army suffered a disastrous defeat under the city of Tokyo, which inevitably shook the position of the Prime Minister.Emperor Wanyan Sheng immediately took the opportunity to insert his hand into the West Route Army. After a series of political games, the eldest son Wanyan Zongpan became the supervisor of the West Route Army.

The biggest flaw of Taizong's family is the lack of control over military power. Originally, Wanyan Sheng was in charge of logistics in the Jurchen, and his ascension to the throne was the result of political struggles, not relying on strength.

Now that they have successfully extended their hands into the army, the power of Taizong's family will naturally increase.

But Nianhan is very uncomfortable. His partner Wanyan Xiyin is replaced by Wanyan Zongpan, which restricts him from doing various things.

More importantly, Wanyan Xiyin firmly supported the propositions of their elders and ministers, and defended brothers and sisters.Wanyan Xiyin was transferred away, making Nianhan's claim weak.

The emperor's arrangement was all for political layout, without considering the impact on the army at all.

As a result, the Song Army's formidable enemy was at present, but there were two voices in the army.

Wanyan Zongpan was also furious, and asked: "I am the supervising army, I can go anywhere in the army, should these guards stop me, shouldn't they teach me a lesson? Or is it that the Prime Minister of the country has some conspiracy here, which is shameful? Since going south in July, the army is still wandering in Taiyuan, which is a waste of our army and money."

Shi Yema, who was following Nianhan, roared angrily: "Could it be that the supervising army can't see the Song army's resistance? We led the iron cavalry to fight many times, and completely suppressed the Song army's iron cavalry from Taiyuan to the Weisheng army in the south."

"Bastard! I'm talking about the military situation with the deputy marshal. How can you interrupt me? Someone, clap your mouth!"

Nianhan stared at Wanyan Zongpan like a falcon.

And Wanyan Zongpan did not show any weakness, and confronted each other.

The two teams of heavily armored soldiers also lined up to face each other, and everyone put their hands on the handles of their knives.

"What are you doing in a daze, slap your mouth!" Wanyan Zongpan scolded.

All the onlookers looked at the Prime Minister nervously, and prayed tremblingly that the Prime Minister must not be so strong.Otherwise, the split in the army will immediately be brought to light.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Three clear slaps sounded, the voices were piercing, but the general in the army breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thankful that he didn't have to stand in this battle for imperial power immediately.

Wanyan Zongpan raised his chin and looked at Shiyema with blood on the corner of his mouth, he didn't care about the coldness in his eyes, and was even a little pleased.Nianhan will definitely avenge his father for pulling his father from the dragon chair to the public. This is just the interest he took first, and sooner or later he will kill this old dog and his family.

Nianhan was still more serious, and did not choose to turn his face, as if it was not his son who was beaten, he skipped this point and turned to Wanyan Zongpan's accusation, saying: "The Song army resisted extremely resolutely. Mistake. If the supervisor feels that my deployment is inappropriate, you can report to the emperor and let you command the battle."

Wanyan Zongpan raised his brows. Although he acted domineeringly, he was not stupid. How could he fall into such a simple way of provoking generals? He immediately scolded: "The Prime Minister of the country, is this a prudent statement? Shirking responsibility, being irresponsible, changing generals just before the battle, In my opinion, the Prime Minister of the State is not worthy of the post of Marshal. After the war, I will definitely report to the Ming court to discuss the Prime Minister's actions today."

As for commanding the war instead of the prime minister?Only fools would take over.

From the beginning of the battle, the upper echelons of the Jin army knew that the battle might not go smoothly.

The resoluteness of the enemy's resistance and the strong will to fight cast a haze over the minds of the generals of the Jin Army.I am afraid that the war will turn into what it was at the beginning of the year.

Dajin soldiers have the confidence to win, but tragic casualties are indispensable.

This is the opportunity to weaken the prestige and authority of the prime minister. He has not made any outstanding achievements in two consecutive southern expeditions, and the position of the deputy marshal is bound to be unstable.

As long as I do nothing, I can gain a lot of authority.Commanding for him is taking the blame for him!
Wanyan Zongpan, who is good at political calculations, of course knows how to choose.

Nianhan's face was cold, and he said: "Since the supervising army does not plan to command the war, don't dictate the military deployment! The Song army camped on this mountain to threaten our army's grain road. If we ignore it, our army's grain road will be destroyed at any time." Under the threat of the Song army."

"The general commanding this Song army must be a veteran, flexible and fickle general. He controlled the overall situation with one village, and dragged all the main force of our army here, instead of choosing to stick to the city. His deployment was eclectic. Personality, very spiritual, even in my Dajin Army, there are few people who can compare with him."

Wanyan Zongpan sneered, and said: "In my opinion, this is because the prime minister was scared of being beaten by Song people at the beginning of the year. When he saw a Song general, he thought he was a famous general in the world. How could the Song army have so many world-renowned generals in a few months! The general camped On the mountain, it is clear that he is a man who talks about war on paper, that is, the second Ma Di."

"Even the supervising army knows the allusion of Ma Di's loss of the street pavilion. Would the Song army on the other side make such a stupid mistake?"

Wanyan Zongpan was ridiculed, his face was gloomy, and he said: "I don't care if the other party is treacherous or stupid. The imperial court spent countless money and food to supply the army's southern expedition. It was to destroy the resistance of the Song Dynasty and expand the territory. The prime minister led the fifty thousand army Yu Yu Gathering under a small mountain, doing nothing, I will repay the imperial court no matter what, the crime of being passive and inactive!"

"It's up to the supervising army, don't send it away!" Nian Han replied coldly with a gloomy face.

After Yan Zongpan left with pride, Shi Yema spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva angrily, and asked, "Father, let him be so rampant and proud?"

Nianhan stared at Wanyan Zongpan's upright and confident back, with a fierce expression, and said, "I will definitely not let this Shuzi get lucky and become the throne. I will kill all their brothers sooner or later, leaving no one behind."

After finishing speaking, Nianhan looked at the Song army camp on the mountain and said, "But right now we still have to focus on the Southern Expedition, and this camp must be resolved. The emperor may not care about his attitude, but the opinions of the clan ministers cannot be ignored, and they cannot be passive and lazy. The crime of standing."
