Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 496
The Jin army's offensive was very fierce. Nianhan still forcibly crossed the river from Heyang in Mengzhou. Taking advantage of the panic of the Song army, he captured Luoyang in one fell swoop. It can almost be said to be a classic among the classics.

The cavalry of the Golden Army showed a very high level of combat quality. As soon as they took Luoyang City, they immediately marched eastward to Zhengzhou without stopping.

The result of the Song army's hasty fight can be imagined. After more than ten times of reciprocating attacks by the Jin army's kidnappers, the Song army was defeated, Yan Zhongli was killed, Guo Junmin was forced to surrender, and Li Jingliang abandoned the army and fled, killing more than [-] people. , all parts of the west of Beijing vibrated.

Only Yue Fei fought to the death with the Jin army, used the terrain to retreat to Zhengzhou with the bow and wings of the gods, and took the defeated army back into Guancheng safely. He already has more than [-] people.

In JD.com, Talan and Wushu are both brave and skilled fighters.

Talan concentrated the main force to attack Jinan Mansion, Quan knew the affairs of Jinan Mansion, Gao Ping, the deputy chief of the Mabu Army on Jingdong East Road, cooperated with Guan Sheng, the governor of Jingdong East Road, relying on Licheng Gaohaoshen, relying on the city to organize defenses, Guan Sheng led the army several times Surprisingly attacked the Jin army, and even entrusted Tarlan to the city, unable to plunder the surrounding military states.

Wu Shu led his army to break through Yunzhou, and marched westward along the river, trying to threaten Kaifeng from the flank, but Han Shizhong resolutely resisted, and the marching speed slowed down. Every step forward had to pay a heavy price, which made him very angry.

General Xiemao Ali of the Jin Army was arrogant and arrogant, and rushed forward lightly. He was attracted by Zhang Suo and Wang Yan to Linhe Town in Huazhou. The fight was a crushing defeat, leaving more than [-] corpses and hundreds of people captured.The plan to attack Kaifeng from three sides went bankrupt, and the result was very serious. This battle led to the reunion of the East and West Routes planned by Nianhan in Kaifeng, and with the Jin Army's East Route Army as a barrier, the West Route Army's plan to enter Shaanxi cast a shadow.

At that time, Wang Xiu and a group of officials from the Jiangbei Affairs Management Department arrived at Shouchun Mansion on Huainan West Road. After reorganization, the 78 generals had seven generals and 1 horse infantry, which was the absolute main force of Xingyuan.

"Sir, this is the latest Guantang." Zong Liang sent a letter to Guantang, and seemed a little anxious. During this period of time, there was almost no good news in Guantang ahead.

"Look at it first, just tell me." Wang Xiu waved her hand wearily.

Zong Liang opened the Guantang, looked at it carefully, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is good, Jinan is blocked by Talan, and the Wushu Department is not making much progress. Zhang Taiwei defeated Xiemao Ali in Linhe Town and beheaded thousands of people. Mr. , the captives' attack on Kaifeng has failed."

Wang Xiu showed a rare smile, nodded slightly, and remained silent.

Zhong Lirui, who was sitting by the side, glanced at Wang Xiu, and said indifferently: "My lord, are you worried about the situation in the west of Beijing?" Served as a staff member of the Disposal Division.

Zong Liang pondered for a while, and said: "Yesterday, in the Guantang newspaper, Master Tang guarded the west of Hexi, making Lou's room linger and unable to enter. Now Xiemao Ali is defeated, Wushu is blocked, the captives' eastern and western armies cannot respond, and Nianhan has no strength to move westward. Don't worry about it!"

Zhong Lirui looked at Zong Liang with a half-smile, a sneer flashed across the corner of his mouth, but he didn't say anything to refute.

"What do you think?" Wang Xiu looked at Zhong Lirui, who obviously had nothing to say.

Since Zhong Lirui attached himself to Wang Xiu, he has not had the opportunity to show his talents. It was an opportunity to go north with Wang Xiu for the first time. He cleared his throat and said, "From the perspective of the situation, the intention of the Jin army is already clear. Attacking from three sides, they attempted to join forces in Kaifeng, encircle the hinterland of the Song Dynasty from both wings, and go deep into Sichuan and Shaanxi to contain the Western Army. With the support of the West Road, the East Road went straight to the Jianghuai River and threatened them. Once they succeeded, the marching dynasty would be in jeopardy .”

"Although their purpose was temporarily thwarted, their main force was not seriously injured. Although Jingdong and Gyeonggi have achieved repeated victories, they have never really repelled the main force of the captives. At present, the battle situation is still not optimistic. Nianhan and Loushi can attack Yanhan at any time. If the Fu Road and the Yongxing Army Road invade, we still have the possibility of being defeated."

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Xiu, saw that Wang Xiu's brows were tightly frowned, and said again: "Zong Xuanfu has the benevolence of a woman, and before the war, he has to dig a big river to prevent the Jin army from entering Shaanxi through the west of Beijing. With the Lou family, I dare not face the hundreds of thousands of troops from the Sixth Route of Shaanxi. The entry of the river into the Huaihe River is also very beneficial to the war of resistance in Jingdong.”

Wang Xiu's face was as usual, but her heart was full of turmoil. Digging up the big river, Jingxi Road, Jingbei Road, and Huainan West Road would face the torrential river of sediment, which was a devastating sweep!How many people will be buried in the flood, and how many people will leave their homes. More importantly, the prosperous Lianghuai economy will be completely damaged and will never recover.He never thinks that his judgment is alarmist. In history, Du Chong cut the river, and the two Huaihe Rivers, which can be called prosperous in the world, suffered a complete blow. The Mongols destroyed it, and the Ming and Qing Dynasties have not yet recovered.

However, we have to admit that breaking the river is indeed a good way to resist the Jin army and horse army. It not only relieves the pressure on Shaanxi, but also prevents the Jin army from galloping in the Central Plains. For the Song Dynasty who is fighting for time, it can definitely solve the urgent need.

It is not new to decide the river to stop the enemy as a last resort. Military strategists of all dynasties have classic battles, but they are all localized rivers. Even if they are dug up, it will not hurt the overall situation.

It's not that he didn't think about it, and even thought that since the Jin army went south as scheduled, why not follow the historical line and replace Du Chong with him. Of course, if it is really unstoppable, he can only sacrifice two Huai.

When faced with the death of hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people, he still shudders, trying his best to control his inner demons and prevent himself from thinking about the worst outcome.

Can't help but glance at Zhong Lirui, but Zhong Lirui's eyes are cold and decisive, and he has to admit that Zhonglirui's strategy is feasible, and he can't help sighing secretly that in the eyes of these scholars, Shengmin is really a group of pitiful people The ants, who talk about being the living people of the world on weekdays, can sacrifice these living people at any time at critical moments, and they don't even blink their brows when they speak.

Zong Liang was taken aback. He almost breathed a sigh of relief. He stared at Zhong Lirui and exclaimed, "Juehe? What about the dozens of people in the military state? The laws of nature and human relations must not be used."

"If there is a change, the captive cavalry will sweep across the southeast, and the lives of hundreds of military states will be wiped out, so what can we do?" Zhong Lirui's voice was as cold as ice.

"That can't be based on dozens of people in the military state." Zong Liangzai didn't dare to imagine the tragic situation under the rolling river.

"Do you have a better way to annihilate the captives?" Zhong Lirui said coldly.
