Great time travel

In the ground floor hall of the Japanese-style floating castle "Third New Tokyo", a military meeting is being held.

In the center of the hall, there is a huge map of the Hebei battlefield that Doraemon has just collected with the [Mini Reconnaissance Satellite], which shows cities, mountains, coastlines and rivers in great detail... But Due to the limitations of satellite reconnaissance, it is not yet possible to confirm which side these cities are under the control of, and whether they have been slaughtered right now.Even the names of these cities themselves were filled in by asking local officials and combining with historical documents and maps, and even guessed.

Of course, compared to the seriously inaccurate maps drawn by the Song people themselves, the maps made by Doraemon are already pretty good.

Around this huge battle zone map, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Qin Hui, Wang Boyan and other participants formed a circle. In the small unit, Yue Fei served as the commander of the cavalry, Han Shizhong served as the commander of the infantry, and Qin Hui was the supervisor of the army and also took care of some clerical work.And Wang Boyan, the magistrate of Xiangzhou, as a local snake, was also able to attend the meeting

As for the Cizhou Zhizhou Zongze who traveled all the way before, he had already left Xiangzhou with his [-] guards and rushed back to Cizhou, his seat.

Since the entire castle is in Japanese style, there is almost no furniture in the entire hall, so all the participants can only sit cross-legged or kneeling on the tatami mats, making Wang Qiu feel as if the Warring States daimyos in the Japanese Taiga drama are held in the city. In the scene of the military discussion, even though there was not even a single Japanese present - Doraemon, the robot cat, should not be considered a human being, and Nobi Nobita, a ten thousand year elementary school student, went back to class...

However, you Song people are quite calm about this place—from the pre-Qin period, the ancient Chinese paid attention to sitting on the floor and eating separately, which is the same custom as the Japanese living on tatami in the future.In the Tang and Song Dynasties, although tables and chairs had been introduced to China under the name of "Hu Chuang", they were not ashamed by scholar-officials because they were created by Hu people and not ancient. Until the early Northern Song Dynasty, chairs, tables and the like Furniture has not yet been popularized in China. For example, Zhao Pugui, a famous official in the Northern Song Dynasty, was the prime minister, and there were no tables, chairs or benches in his home. Even if the emperor came, he had to entertain him and sit on the floor.

Of course, it was the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and furniture such as tables, chairs, and stools had become popular among the people of the Song Dynasty, but the ancient custom of sitting on the ground has not been forgotten—probably similar to modern Japanese—looking at Qin Hui, Wang Boyan, Yue Fei, and Han Shizhong all knelt and sat naturally. Wang Qiu, who was kneeling so numbly, couldn't help muttering to himself: Could this be the so-called "Tang and Song legacy in Japan"?
Closer to home, at this moment, they are all around this military map of the Hebei theater, talking about the current Song and Jin wars.

"... This autumn, the Jinlu successively broke through the three towns of Zhongshan, Taiyuan, and Zhending, which opened the door to the north of our Great Song Dynasty. They also dispatched partial divisions to break through Fenzhou, cross the Yellow River, trap Luoyang, and seize Tongguan, in order to block the exit of the Guanxi Forbidden Army. The road to the aid of the Kanto. But later, in order to attack Bianliang, all the golden armies were assembled under the city of Tokyo, and then they were burned up by real people... Although Hebei is extremely dilapidated, there are not many golden soldiers left .”

As the deputy marshal of the Generalissimo's Mansion in Hebei, although Wang Boyan's character and integrity are questionable, and his military command ability is even more appalling, in terms of intelligence, because he is always on the front line, he still has a good grasp of it. "... During the Southern Expedition of the Jin Bing, some soldiers and horses were sporadically deployed in Hedong, but in Hebei, they only crossed states and counties, did not attack city by city, and did not divide troops to stay behind. Only after the capture of Zhending, A Bohai army was stationed there, about 3000 people, guarding the gate where they stepped into the Song Dynasty. In addition, before ten days ago, it was heard that Handan City was once attacked, but the thieves who attacked the city were the Jin army. Whether it's a bandit or a rebellious army, I don't know..."

According to Wang Boyan, the Jin army went south to the Central Plains twice before and after, using the adventurous tactics of breaking through regardless of the rear, leaving a large number of intact Song Dynasty cities behind.Even for those cities that were captured by the Jin soldiers, most of them were directly abandoned by the Jin soldiers instead of being garrisoned by troops.

This approach is of course conducive to concentrating troops and avoiding being defeated by the enemy one by one.However, when the main force in the forefront of the field was hit by a devastating blow, the entire battle situation would collapse instantly, and it would be impossible to retreat step by step and resist step by step. With the destruction of the main force of the more than [-] Jin army, most of the old territory of the Song Dynasty was recovered almost instantly!

Of course, this is just an illusion.

Because the failure of the Jin army does not mean the victory of the Song army, you must take into account the existence of other "players".

——It's like the fact that although the U.S. military easily defeated Saddam Hussein in the Iraq War, it had to continue to fight the security war for ten years.

The current situation facing the Song Dynasty is the same. Although the invading Jin army has been wiped out, large tracts of land in Hebei, Hedong and the Central Plains have also been beaten into anarchy.Even Kang Wang's Hebei Bingma Grand Marshal's Mansion is only a few states and counties that have not suffered military disasters, such as Daming and Xiangzhou, as the core bases, gathering remnants from all walks of life to support themselves.As for the other hundreds of states and counties, they have completely become the world of refugees and bandits.

In fact, due to heavy snow and bandits blocking traffic, Xiangzhou has been cut off from most counties in Hebei and Hedong.At this moment, it is still unknown how many states and counties have been destroyed and burned by the Jin army or rogue bandits in the chaos, and how many cities are still hanging behind the enemy under the leadership of local officials.As for whether those Song troops scattered behind the enemy would still listen to the imperial edict, no one can say for sure.

The only thing that can be confirmed is that, apart from the [-] Bohai soldiers stationed in Zhending Mansion, the Kingdom of Jin does not have any field troops that have been verified and confirmed in the south of the Song Dynasty in Hebei.Of course, in the countryside of Hebei, there must still be some small units of the Golden Army who "strike the grass valley" wandering around.But this kind of small group of rogues with no more than a few tens or hundreds of people, apart from being more powerful in combat, is actually on the same level as bandits and bandits, and is of little use in front of the regular army-not to mention that they are still fighting against the army. Song Jing fought away, and he didn't have the mass base to fight guerrilla warfare.

As for the last reserve force of the Jin Army, it was deployed in Yanjing in the old Liao Dynasty, which is the future capital Beijing.

"...That is to say, apart from the three thousand Bohai soldiers from Zhending Mansion, and the traitors and traitors scattered on the west side of Taihang Mountain, the Jurchen Tartars closest to us are the Crown Prince of Jin Kingdom in Yanjing City. Wanyan Xieye, and the [-] female true spirits under him?"

After listening to Wang Boyan's description, Guo Jing knocked on Yanjing City on the map and said so.

"...It can only be said that it is within the Nanjing Road of the old Liao Dynasty, not necessarily in Yanjing City."

Yue Fei suddenly interjected that, as he had participated in the two Northern Expeditions to Youzhou during the Xuanhe period, he had fought fiercely with Jin soldiers and Liao soldiers for several years, and he knew the habits of these alien races in the north quite well: "...the Liao Kingdom has four seasons The bowl system, the Khitan king often lives in the tent, rarely enters the capital. Now the Jurchens are chasing the Khitan and occupying the northern land, I am afraid that most of them will follow the old Khitan customs. Moreover, Yanjing has suffered repeated wars and is extremely dilapidated, with no palaces and government offices. Repairing, the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin may not be willing to live in ruins, it is better to lead troops to patrol around, it is not only convenient to eat, but also can suppress the states and counties, and extort tribute..."

——The old customs of Khitan, following the water and grass, chasing the cold and heat, going back and forth nomadic fishing and hunting.After the founding of the Liao Dynasty, the emperor set up a hunting account called "Nabo".Also known as the Four Seasons Bowl System.Nabo, in Khitan language, means the palace where the Khitan monarch travels.Therefore, although the Liao Kingdom had a capital city, the Khitan Emperor led a large army throughout the year to patrol the Nabo area, and all government affairs were handled in tents.Although the Jurchens are not nomads like the Khitan, they are more suitable for building cities.But the Liao land was only roughly pacified, and various ethnic groups rebelled one after another. The Jin army had to maneuver long distances to suppress the riots of various ethnic groups. Except for the emperor of the Jin Kingdom who stayed behind in Huanglong Mansion, even the Jurchen military dignitaries probably did not have the leisure to build luxury houses and palaces. surplus.

Therefore, although the crown prince of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Xie, also stayed in Yanjing with the reserve team of the Jin army, is he always stationed in the dilapidated city of Yanjing, or is he constantly moving around like the old Khitan emperor? No one will know about moving camps for inspections, suppressing and intimidating powerful clansmen everywhere.

For this view, Guo Jing also expressed affirmation and agreement, but if this comes true, I am afraid that it will become even more uncertain where the enemy is.

Therefore, the current battle situation makes Yue Fei and others scratch their heads. If we follow the rules and go to the Northern Expedition from Xiangzhou and Daming to recover the fallen counties one by one, then before we meet the Jin Army, we will have to fight against countless groups of bandits and mobs. .I'm afraid they haven't hit the former Zhending Mansion on the border of the Liao and Song Dynasties, and haven't had time to cut off the head of a genuine Jurchen Tartar, their small army of a few hundred people should be almost exhausted.

Moreover, even if they regained the fallen city, they could not find suitable people to manage it.Even if they learn from the Jin army's approach, regardless of the cities along the way, they drive straight into Yanjing... In the unfamiliar territory of the old Liao Dynasty, their eyes are smeared, they don't know where the enemy is, they don't know how many there are, let alone get Supplies, labor and supplies, and even a little knowledge of the road - how can such a battle be fought?
Even though Guo Jingguo's mana is boundless, how can he use it if he can't find the enemy's position?
You can't expect that just [-] people can conquer thousands of miles of mountains and rivers!
However, in the memory of Wang Qiu, a half-hearted modern military enthusiast, there are many successful examples of solving similar predicaments.

——MacArthur was in the Pacific Ocean and North Korea, and Rumsfeld was in Iraq, didn't they all have a good time?

So, after Wang Qiu quietly came up to whisper a few words in a low voice.Immortal Guo coughed a few times and announced a shocking decision:

"...Everyone, from the point of view of the poor, instead of advancing from city to city in Hebei, which takes time and effort, and trying to appease the people, and being exhausted with many chores, it is better to simply plow the courtyard and sweep the caves, and go straight to Huanglong Mansion from here Then break through the capital city of the Kingdom of Jin, capture the Jurchen Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai, and wipe out this great enemy for me in the Central Plains! Anyway, there is a floating city in the poor way, but there is nowhere in the world and within the four seas? "

——The next day, amidst the burning incense and kneeling of more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Xiangzhou, the floating castle "Third New Tokyo" floated north with [-] strong men.

In just a few days, Doraemon has collected another one billion yen worth of goods from the wealthy families, gentry officials, and military leaders in Xiangzhou, which made Wang Qiu even more so. What excited Guo Jing was a line of writing on the "Book of Time Traveling":
"...change the fate of Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, and get 2000 reward points."

——It is getting closer and closer to the [-] points to end the game...
