Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

[-]. Bypass the line of defense, go deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty, and attack the richest places.

There is a big background and a big premise for this troop dispatch, which is Tokyo’s New Deal, which has sparked controversy in the court. Zhao Ning is still not completely sure whether this military action by the Jin people is related to the Song’s New Deal.

But he also took precautions.

On August [-]th, Zhao Ning secretly transferred Yue Fei back and ordered him to lead the troops to march eastward quickly, arrive at Xuzhou, and guard Xuzhou.

The purpose of guarding Xuzhou is actually to guard the important areas of the Huaihe River and Huaihe River.

The Jin people also knew that in the third Song-Jin war, Da Song suffered a lot of losses, but no one can tell exactly what happened.

The official Zhao family publicized the news of the increase in troops again in the official newspapers. Jin Guo's secret operations in Hebei, Hedong, and Gyeonggi also received rumors of the continuous increase of troops from the official Zhao family in many ways.

It was under such circumstances that the tentative military behavior of the Jin Army began.

If it is found out that the Great Song Dynasty is really at the end of its strength, the Kingdom of Jin will inevitably mobilize again on a large scale, and the army will go south.

But if it is tested that Da Song still resists tenaciously, the situation of Jin Guochaotang may be another story.

In mid-August, scouts from the Song army detected a large-scale Jin army in Zhending, which was heading south. There were tens of thousands of people, and the banners were like clouds, covering the sky and the sun.

On August [-], letters sent by Zhao Guanjia to the front reached Jingzhao Mansion, Daming Mansion, and Cangzhou.

The western, central, and eastern fronts all immediately became vigilant.

On August [-]th, the scouts came to report: "Your Highness, a man named Li Cheng came to ask for an interview, saying that he has important information about the Song Army!"

When Jin Wushu heard that it was Li Cheng, he immediately said, "Hurry up and bring me here."

Not long after, Li Cheng saw Jin Wushu.

"The last general, Li Cheng, sees His Highness!"

Seeing Li Cheng again, Jin Wushu was quite pleasantly surprised, now is the time for him to vigorously expand his strength.

The current situation of the Kingdom of Jin has changed from that of last year. Wan Yangao retired behind the scenes, and Zong Han was taken over as the leader of the army and began to sit behind the scenes.

And he, Wanyan Wushu, in the third battle between Song and Jin, was the one who lost the least amount of money, and he was considered the best player.

This is also an important reason why Wanyan Wu begged him to take command and go south this time.

And the order he received was to behead the Song Dynasty.

That is to say, don't go head-to-head with the elite of the Song army, don't attack those places with tight defenses, but the army goes directly into the territory, and strikes the core of the Song Dynasty at the fastest speed.

This was the result of mutual compromise between Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Wu Qimai after discussing for a whole night.

It is based on the internal debates caused by the new policy reforms being implemented in Jingji Road in the Song Dynasty.

Its purpose is not to destroy the military defense line of the Song Dynasty, but to quickly strike the core area with force, triggering a political crisis within the Song Dynasty, and making the Song Dynasty even worse, which was already arguing about the New Deal.

Simply put, it's more like a political blow.

The goal of Jin Wushu is the Huainan two roads that Wanyan Zongfu did not push forward before. As long as they fight well this time, a large-scale food crisis will inevitably break out in the Song Dynasty at the end of this year, especially affecting Gyeonggi Road.

After all, Huainan Road is the lifeblood of Gyeonggi.

Jin Wushu helped Li Cheng up: "General Li, you don't need to be polite, I thought I would never see General Li again!"

Li Cheng talked about his experience in the past six months and followed Liu Yu all the time. Later, Liu Yu himself was forced to hide in Tibet by Song Jun. He heard that Jin Wushu was in Zhending Mansion, so he went to Zhending Mansion to join him.

"I still need your help when I go south to attack Song Dynasty!"

Li Cheng immediately excitedly said: "His Highness orders, the last general will die!"

"Okay, I want to go deep into the Lianghuai River of the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible. What good strategy do you have?"

Li Cheng said: "Take the eastern route and avoid Zongze's department."

"Why?"

"The last general was under Zongze's command before. Zongze ruled the army strictly, and the defense line in Hebei was impenetrable and strong in depth. However, Li Gang on the east line, Li Gang was only good at defending one city and one pool. Compared with Zongze, the deployment of the defense line and Soldiers will be much weaker in governance.”

"Take Fucheng on the eastern front, then go south quickly, from Dezhou to Dongping, and go straight to Xuzhou. It can be completed within a month. Xuzhou is the place of the Four Wars, but the defense of the Song Dynasty is weak. Once you enter Xuzhou, the two Huaihe Rivers are all in your highness. Under the vanguard!"

"Good!" Jin Wushu was overjoyed.

Chapter 222 The Flames of War Rekindled (Part [-])

On August 22, a large-scale Jin army was discovered on the front line of Zhaozhou, Hebei.

For a while, rumors spread.

Some people say that the Jin army has gone south on a large scale, and the target is Zhaozhou.

Others said that the Jin army hadn't moved yet, but was just hoarding in the area of ​​Zhendingfu.

In addition, some people said that the Jin army had bypassed Zhaozhou and entered Handan, not far from the Daming Mansion.

In Zhaozhou, people who were fleeing could already be seen, and the panic caused by the war began to spread.

Some people dragged their families with them, and some fled in despair.

The fields that had just been redistributed in the Zhaozhou area this year were abandoned again, and the population of the small villages that had finally gathered was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

One after another, the military newspapers were sent to the head office of the Daming Mansion.

On August 23, Li Cuibu, the deputy commander of Zhaozhou's troops and horses, met the Jin army along the way. The two sides fought a battle, each with casualties, but the scale was not large.

On August 25th, Li Cui's emergency army reported to the Daming Mansion. According to the report from Zhaozhou's scouts, three groups of Jin soldiers were found in Zhaozhou.

Every road is full of flags and flags.

So far, the Daming Mansion has confirmed that the main force of the Golden Army is fighting on Hebei West Road.

Since mid-August, Li Gang on the Eastern Front has sent people to carry out large-scale investigations near Hejianfu.

By the end of August, news of the Jin army's attack on Zhaozhou reached Cangzhou.

The Song army's center line and east line were officially determined, and the Jin army was fighting on the center line.

As for the Hejian Mansion, an outpost of the Golden Army on the Eastern Front, it was quiet and peaceful, which gave the Song Army on the Eastern Front the illusion that there was no military incident.

However, on August 24, Jin Wushu's army had quietly moved eastward and appeared in the south, and quickly built bridges across the river in no-man's land.

In the early morning of August 25, the Jin army crossed the Yellow River at the branch of the Yellow River at the intersection of Shenzhou, Hejianfu, and Yongjing Army.

Bing Feng pointed directly at the Eastern Front.

This time, Jin Wushu had [-] guaizi horses, [-] iron stupas, [-] heavy infantry, archers, and logistics support troops, with a total force of [-].

In the late autumn of the third year of Jingkang, the Jin Wushu army, like a black sword, pierced into the eastern front of the Song Dynasty.

In order to cooperate with Jin Wushu's offensive strategy, Wanyan Zongfu, who was stationed in Hejian Mansion, sent Liu Yu's troops who had surrendered to attack Cangzhou.

On August 26, Liu Yu's army crossed the Yellow River, heralding the resumption of war on the Eastern Front.

The news was urgently sent to the Cangzhou Head Office.

Li Gang asked: "How many Jin troops have come?"

Zhang Suo replied, "About fifty thousand."

"Who is the Commander?"

Zhang Suo said again: "I don't know yet."

He also said: "The previous information said that the Jin army attacked Zhaozhou. Now it seems that the number of troops sent by the Jin army this time exceeded our imagination."

Zhaozhou is on Hebei West Road, north of Xingzhou, and south of Zhendingfu, which belongs to the center line defense.

This time, Li Gang also predicted that the Jin army would not go south on a large scale. After all, a large-scale war like the third Song-Jin war cannot be fought casually.

But the current situation has indeed exceeded their expectations.

Unexpectedly, Jin Guo once again pulled the eastern and central lines to fight at the same time.

Li Gang was deep in thought. Jin Guo suffered heavy losses in the first battle at the beginning of this year. How could they still launch such a large-scale battle?

This seems unreasonable!

But what was unreasonable, Li Gang couldn't tell for a while.

Zhang Suo on the side also had the same doubts. He said, "Li Xianggong, tens of thousands of Jin troops appeared in Cangzhou, so will there be a large-scale Jin army in Fucheng?"

As soon as he said this, he felt wrong again, shook his head and said, "How could the Jin people mobilize such a large army again in such a short period of time after experiencing the last loss?"

Obviously, he couldn't figure it out either.

Li Gang said: "Don't worry about Fucheng, Han Shizhong is over there, with him defending, the Jin army can't break through that line of defense."

"The lower officials just can't figure it out, and they can't figure out how Jin Jun did it."

It's normal for them to wonder.

Because Liu Yujun who went south cannot be regarded as a regular Jin army at all.

It's just a matter of gathering the number of people to deceive people and confuse the public. As for really attacking the current Cangzhou?

Unless Liu Yu's brain is broken, he will never really do it.

Although Liu Yu is bad, he is not stupid.

He knew that Wanyan Zongfu wanted to use himself as cannon fodder, and he would never really be cannon fodder. At most, he would spend a few days outside the city of Cangzhou under the name of the Golden Army, and retreat quickly after completing the mission.

The Song army still adopted the tactics of steady defense, and would not easily go out of the city to fight field battles. This is why Liu Yu dared to come here.

Li Gang said: "Respond to all changes with the same, let's see how the Jin army will attack the city, first find out the opponent's strength, and do not rule out the possibility of going out of the city to take the initiative to attack!"

Zhang Suo said, "Yes, I'm going down to the officials to make some preparations!"

On August 27, standing at the head of Cangzhou City, you can see a large area of ​​darkness outside the city.

The estimated number of people was 5, and the banners covered the sky.

Liu Yu bluffed in Cangzhou.

On August 29, the military report from Fucheng reached Cangzhou, and Fucheng was indeed encircled by the Jin army.

So far, the establishment of the Cangzhou general system has been officially determined, and the Eastern Front War has also begun.

But in fact, Jin Wushu's tactics are not like this.

The tactics of Jin Wushu are actually very simple, and the simpler the tactics, the more effective they are.

First use Liu Yu to attract the attention of Cangzhou, and then leave a group of troops in Fucheng to pretend to be an army of tens of thousands. The main method is to get more flags.

The purpose is to make the Song army in Fucheng and Cangzhou think that the purpose of the Jin army is to attack these two cities.

Before the Song Army had figured out the Jin Army's true intentions, taking advantage of this vacant period, Jin Wushu himself led the army, bypassing Fucheng, and headed south quickly all the way.

It only takes a few days to deceive the Song army, and Jin Wushu can take the tactical initiative.

When the Song army catches up from behind, he is not worried. His purpose is to quickly attack Lianghuai Road, destroy the most affluent place in Song Dynasty, and bring a new round of political crisis to the Bianjing Chaotang, which is undergoing political reform.

At the same time, it also weakened the Song Dynasty.

This tactic went very well.

On the evening of August 29, Han Shizhong in Fucheng received information from Cangzhou, and learned that a large-scale Jin army had also appeared in Cangzhou, and he fell into deep thought.

"Officer."

While Han Shizhong was meditating, a soft voice came.

The person who came was a woman with a graceful figure and a beautiful face.

"Sir, why are you here?"

"My family heard that Jin Jun is coming again."

"It's indeed here, but you don't have to worry, you were able to repel the Jin army before, and you can do it now."

"The slave family is not worried about this, but just feels a little puzzled."

"Oh? What doubts?"

"A few months ago, the Jin Army was first defeated by Yue Fei, and then killed a lot by you in Wuqiao County. Their morale was greatly damaged. How could they make a comeback so quickly?"

"To tell you the truth, I also have this doubt in my heart."

Liang Hongyu said: "Will the Jin people bypass Fucheng again and go deep into our Song Dynasty with troops?"

Chapter 223 Prepared a feast for Jin Wushu (second update)

"I'm also thinking about this question. The Jin army's southward move was too sudden and the time was too short. Currently, the scouts are unable to ascertain the true intentions of the Jin people."

Han Shizhong wiped the knife in his hand, frowned and said: "I have more doubts in my heart. There is also news that the Jin people are going south from Hebei West Road. How big is the Jin army going south this time? Soldiers and horses, I don’t know yet.”
