Powerful Song Dynasty

Chapter 504
"Qu Jidao is outrageous. My master asked him to use his troops with caution. He has to rush to the city of Luoyang for a decisive battle. What if he loses?" Zong Liang said angrily.Today, the situation in Jingdong is not clear. If Jingxi is defeated, the whole battle situation will be unimaginable. I am afraid that Huai Shang will also be the rear of the captives. He is extremely dissatisfied with Qu Duan
"Qu Duan is a famous general of the Western Army. Since he is going directly to Luoyang, he must have his own plans." Zhong Lirui said indifferently. He was dissatisfied with Qu Duan's disobedience to Wang Xiu, but the other party, as a general, also had the independent power to deal with it, so he couldn't say what others said. Wang Xiu also advocated that the generals act cheaply in front of the battle.

Wang Xiu stood quietly by the wall, looking at the topographic map of Junzhou hanging on the wall for a long time, and seemed to say to himself: "Qu Duan is so bold, he actually committed crimes against the wind, and successfully arrived in Luoyang. Well, he is trying to turn against customers. , Turning passive into active, this move can certainly disintegrate the offensive of the captives, if it fails, the five routes will be severely damaged, and Shaanxi will not be able to protect it, just as Uncle Ming said, the Huai River will be the mast of the captives."

Zong Liang trembled all over, and said in surprise: "Sir, isn't it too..."

"You see, my original intention was that Qu Duan would lead the army to march eastward, unite with Wang Yuan to restrain Nianhan, and hold back the main force of the captives as much as possible. Well, the two major Xuanfu divisions are in control and cooperate. Even if Nianhan can't be defeated, they can The [-] Jurchen cavalry can stabilize the battle in the west of Beijing! However, Qu Duan's soldiers have to go directly to the city of Luoyang to fight against Nianhan's elite. Wang Yuan still has a chance of winning, but he is afraid that he will be arrogant and want to be the champion."

Zhong Lirui's pupils constricted, he took a breath, and said, "I'm afraid, Taiwei Qu is arrogant, and he doesn't want to share the burden with others."

"If that's the case, that's really bad!" Thinking about the possible consequences, Zong Liang broke out in a cold sweat, his impulsive actions would only lead to a fiasco.

Wang Xiu put his hands behind his back, his fisted palms were sweating, and he couldn't bear to fail.In case of Quduan's defeat, he could keep the Jianghuai line of defense, but the ruins along the river and the embarrassing start of the Southern Song Dynasty in history will become a reality again. Do your best and hope you don't let me down."

Shanfu County

A great battle had just ended, and with the sound of the golden gong, under the cover of the big cards, the brigade of the Golden Army retreated one after another, leaving only a few rangers guarding the city. There were corpses and broken equipment scattered all over the city.

Wu Shu was riding on the horse, with stern eyes, Han Chang's face was ashen, and even Gao Sheng's face was ugly.Facing Han Shizhong's adherence to the strategy, it was really difficult to make any progress, so he immediately asked Ta Lan to give him a part of the army, and went south directly into Danzhou.

In order to realize Eriduo's strategy, it should be to achieve Wu Qimai's goal. He knew that the first thing to do was to attack Shaanxi Sixth Road, but he still faithfully carried out his plan to march into Jianghuai.As long as a breakthrough is achieved, there will be sufficient excuses to deploy the most elite Jurchen troops to weaken Nianhan's strength and consolidate Wu Qimai's power.

It can be said that this war had many purposes, and it was doomed to a difficult start from the very beginning, so he was really powerless.The few troops of the Jin Army marched forward on the thousand-mile front. It looked like a huge momentum, but in fact it did not break through the key points. It was difficult to achieve the strategic goal. Don't say that Han Shizhong made him difficult to deal with. God, the loss of thousands made him furious.He swallowed deeply, and said with a difficult expression: "Reform the formation, I want to go into battle myself, and I must win the city."

Gao Sheng was taken aback, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you can't, you have a body of a thousand pieces of gold, how can you risk going to the city, let me go."

Han Chang glanced at Gao Sheng, and said indifferently: "Although Shan County is small, our army is mostly cavalry and lacks siege equipment. It is difficult to capture the city. It is better to go around."

Wu Shu shook his head, he understood what Han Chang said was right, his army was different from Talan, his army had enough siege equipment, he was indeed responsible for long-distance raids, field battles were absolutely sharp, once faced with a fortified city, He was a little timid, and he said in a deep voice: "Shanzhou must be taken, otherwise I can't drive directly to Xuzhou."

"Mr. Lang didn't want to go to Jianghuai, why did he attack Xuzhou's important place?" Han Chang's face changed, and he looked at Wushu in surprise. He already knew that Wang Xiu had arrived in Xuzhou, and tens of thousands of Song troops occupied the strong city. It was absolutely difficult to crack Hard bones.

"If I don't defeat Wang Xiu, will he allow me to go south easily?" Wu Shu said fiercely.

Gao Sheng pondered for a while, and said decisively: "Mr. Lang, Wang Dalang has tens of thousands of people waiting for him. I'm afraid we won't be able to please him. Why don't we go directly to Huainan? We don't need to make him feel bad."

Wu Shu smiled, and said playfully: "Of course I understand that the purpose of making an attack on Shanzhou is to directly enter Bozhou, to surprise Wang Xiu, and to be unable to make an accurate judgment, so that he can directly frighten the Southern Dynasty with fake ones."

"Lang Jun, Wang Xiu has a heavy army in his hand. I'm afraid he will cut off my retreat." Han Chang hesitated, but didn't say the following words. He didn't understand Wushu's intention.

"Hehe, just as Fifth Brother said, the art of war is false and real. Wang Xiu is good at using troops. I will use his mind and believe that I will never dare to go south unless I defeat him. Show him how I will go south. He will definitely come back when the time comes." Save me, but I turned around and attacked Xuzhou directly, defeated him completely, and maybe I could buy him a glass of wine."

Wu Shu's eyes flickered, Wang Xiu gave him too much stimulation, he didn't take advantage of several battles, even Brother Yinshu suffered a big loss in Wang Xiu's hands.This time he went south after careful consideration, and used troops in combination with the real and the false. The name of going south was actually to disperse Wang Xiu's troops, luring Wang Xiu to divide his troops to go south to reinforce Subo. Then he turned around and appeared directly in front of Wang Xiu. It must be very exciting. .

Gao Sheng's eyes lit up, and he praised: "Mr. Lang is very strategic. This is a blatant conspiracy. If Da Lang doesn't rescue Su Bo, Huai Shang will definitely fall. They don't have much defensive power. Once they divide their troops to rescue, Lang You only need Wanqi to travel across Xuzhou, he can't look after each other from head to tail!"

"Hehe, I want to see how he copes this time." Wu Shu felt particularly happy.

When the Jin army formed another team to launch an attack, the Jingdong East Road was under the jurisdiction, and the pro-wei doctor was leading the Weizhou governor Kong Yanzhou, and he was dumbfounded. He couldn't hold on anymore.

In other words, he really didn't dare to fight the Jin army. When war broke out in Jingdong, he instinctively led the army to flee south.However, Gao Ping and Han Shizhong's effective defense blocked the Jin army's offensive, making him believe that the situation is good and he can gain some military exploits.

He was about to lead his army to the battlefield, and came to seek some benefits, but he didn't expect that the Jin army suddenly went south, and he was caught off guard in the rush. Most of the more than 7000 people collapsed, and he had to lead more than [-] people to retreat into Danzhou. What a mess what!
