I am Da Song

Chapter 204 The Collision Between Song and Jin

In the territory of the Jin Dynasty, the Jurchens, ranging from 13-year-old children to 60-year-old white-haired old men, were all recruited by the court, armed into the army, and rushed to help Zhuozhou at all costs.

All the militiamen, recruiting divisions, and the troops of the Dutongfu were all mobilized, with a total of more than 50 troops, claiming to be [-], and gathered towards Youzhou from all directions.

Taking advantage of this great war, the emperor of the Jin Dynasty finally extended his hand into the army.

His eldest son, Wanyan Zongpan, was appointed Marshal Du, in charge of the war in Youzhou, and was responsible for driving the Song army out of Yanyun.

Wanyan Zongpan was proud of the spring breeze, and quickly rushed back to Yanyun from the Hedong battlefield all the way on a fast horse and Qingqi.

As a new official, he is sitting on the commanding power of the whole country's army, and he doesn't pay attention to the tens of thousands of people in the Song military area.

He, who has never really led the army to fight large-scale battles with the Song army, believes that the reason why the Dajin Kingdom has suffered recent defeats is entirely because of the inability to command the east and west.

What kind of goods are there?
Nian Han, the commander of the West Route Army, is a rooster and prime minister. He has been fighting for half a year without making any progress.

Jin Wushu, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, entered the country quickly, but he was a young child, frizzy and not stable at all.Up and down, like a war horse running up and down.At the last moment, the Song army was defeated and the Yellow River was drunk.Yan Yun was defeated in the next moment, and the entire army was wiped out in the ice and snow.

The Dajin Kingdom still needs a middle-aged commander like Wanyan Zongpan who is young, vigorous, and calm.

Therefore, after he took office, he first gathered a large number of Jin troops, the number of which was close to 10. After occupying an absolute numerical advantage, he decisively sent troops south to attack the Song army stationed on the front line of Yizhou and Guiyi City.

Here guards the gate of Yanyun area, backed by Dasong Hebei, is a strategic important town that the Song army must stick to, and can provide a very good base for the Song army to advance to the north in the future.

The Song army no longer needed to attack from the plains to the mountains.As long as this mountain pass is guarded, the Jin army will not be able to send large-scale cavalry condescendingly in and out of the Hebei Plain, threatening the Song army's logistics supplies.

The two sides launched a fierce battle in the southernmost part of Yanyun Land.

Sure enough, the direction of the battle was completely in line with Wanyan Zongpan's perception of himself, and his performance was very stable.

All fronts, all-round defeat.No ups and downs.

The West Route Army of the Song Army, Wu Jie, and Liu Kai's troops entered Yanyun along the direction of Zhendingfu after the victory of the Shenwu You Army.

This increase in troops increased the number of Song troops to 6.Not much less than the more than [-] people of the Jin Army.

But the difference in combat effectiveness between the two armies is too great!

The Song Army is the most elite of the 20 troops in the country. More than [-] people were sent here, and the generals who commanded them, Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Yang Zaixing, Wu Jie, and Liu Qi, were all brave and good at fighting. .

However, the [-] troops that the Jin army hastily assembled were all second-line troops, and they were thrown into the battlefield before they were sorted out and reorganized.

The two sides fought, and Wanyan Zongpan was immediately hammered into doubting his life.

At any rate, Jin Wushu could defeat the entire Song army!He became the marshal of Dajindu to lead the national army, but he was defeated repeatedly. He couldn't accept it, and he was so angry that he stagnated in the middle of the night, and almost lost his anger.

The two sides fought from the end of October to the beginning of December, and finally no one could be beaten.

The Kingdom of Jin has been defeated repeatedly, and the morale of the army has been frustrated.

In particular, Nian Han, the commander of the West Route Army, led the army to watch jokes around Xijing.The most elite field army of the Jin Army wandered outside the battlefield, and after watching Yan Zongpan smiled, he turned all the big words he had said before into loud slaps and slapped himself on the face.

But the emperor could not blame him. The West Route Army retreated from Hedong, and was violently pursued by the Jingsai Army, causing heavy casualties.Had to rectify and rest.

If Han Shizhong hadn't taken the main force to besiege Taiyuan, the West Route Army might still be dragged in Hedong, unable to escape.

And Song Jun is the most common problem...the court has no money!

To be able to support the Song Army to finish the Northern Expedition, it is already Ji Xiang Yang Shi with outstanding talents and proper planning.

But a penny cannot be spent in half, and the left treasury of the imperial court is so empty that mice can starve to death.

In November, the salaries of the court officials could not be paid anymore. Zhao Huan licked his old face and asked the officials to postpone the payment for one month, and promised that after the country's tax revenue came up at the end of the year, they would definitely pay thirteen salaries and double the year-end salary. Welfare.Only then did the officials calm down.

Otherwise, the literati and bureaucrats who had lost their interests would have jumped a long time ago and demanded to stop the Northern Expedition and give priority to taking out the finances to ensure their well-fed lives.

But it is also because the front-line generals played very well, and the news of success was frequent.

The scholar-bureaucrats were also somewhat rejoiced.After all, the officials of the Song Dynasty were well paid, and a month's salary was a few days in arrears, which would not affect their luxurious life.Many people took the money to listen to a ditty.Seeing the frontline soldiers scrambling and fighting, killing the enemy and making meritorious deeds, they are also honored, which is much more exciting than hearing storytelling such as Sanfen.

But even so, the imperial court could not raise supplies, food and grass to support the Song army and the Jin army to continue to consume like this.

Not to mention organizing the Northern Expedition with 10,000+ troops to recover Yanyun.

Even if they put a knife on the necks of the prime ministers and ministers, they would not be able to finance this expenditure.

No matter how much the Song army can fight, it still has to eat and supplies.Without sufficient logistical support, it will only be a disastrous defeat for a 10,000+ army to go north to Yanyun.

Therefore, from the beginning of December, Yue Fei, the deputy envoy of the Great Song Privy Council of the Governor-General Hebei War, began to disband the army one after another, withdrawing the troops of the Xuanfu Division of Hebei from the Yanyun line to the south, and scattered them for rest.

The [-] troops on the Yanyun front line also began to withdraw one after another, reducing the front line garrison, leaving elite soldiers to guard various military towns.

Jin Guo mobilized so many troops, the pressure was greater than that of Song Dynasty.Seeing that the Song army reduced its garrison and had no intention of going northward, the Jin army also dismissed the militia troops, leaving only the elite garrisoned in Zhuozhou, reorganizing the morale of the army, restoring morale, and trying to get rid of the shadow of defeat.

In this case, both sides have the heart of peace talks.

The emperor of the Kingdom of Jin wanted to take advantage of the peace talks to consolidate his power in the army.After all, Wanyan Zongpan's fight was so ugly that the generals in the army were very suspicious of the military capabilities of the emperor's family.Hesitant to join the emperor's faction, the emperor must take the opportunity to win people's hearts and consolidate the situation.

And the Song Dynasty, or the emperor Zhao Huan, was extremely eager to transfer Yue Fei and Shenwu Youjun from the front line to Tokyo.

At critical moments, the literati and bureaucrats in the Song Dynasty will inevitably act as monsters and try their best to drag the Song Dynasty back.

This time, it was the same situation again.Zhao Huan's murderous heart could hardly be restrained.

If the Shenwu Youjun is not transferred back from the front line, the rampant and complacent arrogance of these scholar-bureaucrats can no longer be suppressed.

This time, Zhao Huan was determined and determined to hold the army in hand, fight to the end with these disgusting scholar-bureaucrats, and kill him until his blood flowed like a river.
