Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

For the first half of his life, Zhang Xiaochun was a civil servant in the Song Dynasty. His official career was smooth, he was rich and prosperous, and his future was bright.

However, in the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin army went south, and Tong Guan abandoned the whole army and fled. He and the king reported to guard Taiyuan.

He saw with his own eyes how the soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan vowed to resist the Jin army, and saw with his own eyes how the food in the city was exhausted, and the soldiers and civilians boiled leather to eat, saw Wang Chi scolding Yan Zonghan before he died, and saw how the Jin army destroyed Wang Chi's body .

I also saw how the people united to fight against gold.

He once wanted to be like Wang Ting, and at least leave behind his fame through the ages when he dies.

But in the end he still chose to survive, and Wang Zhi died so heroically that the world was shaken and the people wept bitterly.

But there must always be someone who survives, at least many unarmed people need shelter.

Defending the city is a kind of shelter, and standing silently after surrendering is also a kind of shelter.

Zhang Xiaochun said: "Song people are cunning!"

What he said made everyone present a little unresponsive.

Isn't this scolding yourself?

It seems that after this guy surrendered, he didn't even have the last integrity.

Wanyan Hujia laughed and said: "Prefect Zhang, tell me in detail how cunning the Song people are?"

"The Song Army did not have any troops stationed near Shouyang. When the Song Army attacked Shouyang, they must have marched for several days to arrive. Then why didn't our army detect the movement of the Song Army?"

Everyone looked at Zhang Xiaochun, as if they were asking: Why?

Zhang Xiaochun said: "Obviously, Song Jun planned it in advance."

"How to premeditate?"

Zhang Xiaochun said: "The Song army's attack on Shouyang was a strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain. It was to lead the troops out of Taiyuan City to Shouyang, and then the main force came to besiege Taiyuan City."

"You mean, Song Jun wants to lure me to Shouyang?"

"Yes."

Wanyan Jiamu said: "If you lead me to Shouyang, they are not afraid that I will destroy them all, and then return to attack their main force in the city?"

Zhang Xiaochun hesitated, as if he had something to say, but he didn't dare to say it.

Wanyan Jia's mother said: "Prefect Zhang, it's okay for you to say so!"

"The subordinate officials said, don't be angry."

"Say it, but it's okay for you to say it, I will never be angry!"

Zhang Xiaochun said: "The lower officials have heard some voices recently, but these may be rumors."

"what sound?"

"I heard that since General Wanyan Saliha was transferred away, the Song Army has been rumored to attack Taiyuan City."

"Why?" Wanyan Jiamu's eyes instantly became full of murderous intent.

"General Wanyan Saliha fought with the Song Army for two years before, and the Song Army failed to take back Taiyuan. The Song Army privately said that General Wanyan Saliha used soldiers like a god. After leaving..."

When Wanyan Jiamu heard this, her expression became extremely ugly.

Wanyan Hujia said: "Fart! Wanyan Sali and that crybaby dare to compare with us!"

But Zhang Xiaochun said: "Yes, yes, Song Jun has eyes but doesn't know Mount Tai, so Dutong is naturally the most powerful. Song Jun is now delusional to attack Shouyang, attract Dutong out of the city, and sneak attack Taiyuan. This is courting death!"

Chapter 457

Wanyan Kai's mother said: "Zhang Xiaochun, you said that to provoke me on purpose, and asked me to lead the troops to Shouyang, and then the main force of the Song army came to besiege Taiyuan, right?"

Zhang Xiaochun said: "The lower officials dare not have such thoughts. Now that the lower officials are officials of the Jin Kingdom, they naturally serve the Great Jin Dynasty."

Wanyan Jiamu said in a cold voice: "You Song people are full of bad water!"

Wanyan Hujia said: "Dutong, what should we do now?"

Wan Yan Jia's mother said: "Zhang Xiaochun, you go down first."

"The subordinate retire."

Zhang Xiaochun left the Army Command.

Wanyan Jiamu said: "The main target of the Song Army is Taiyuan City. Since they have laid out this plan, we will follow suit!"

Yelujin said: "Dutong knows that this is a strategy of the Song army, so why go to Shouyang?"

"I have fought with Taizu for more than ten years, what did I rely on! I relied on bravery!" Wanyan Jiamu laughed, "Let the main force of the Song army come to besiege Taiyuan! Since they think that I am not as good as Wanyan Sali , let them come! At that time, I will take Shouyang and cut off the dog's head of Wu Jie under the city of Taiyuan with my own hands, so that the Song army can know how stupid they really are."

Yelujin said: "Du Tong, it's better to send the last general to Shouyang, and Du Tong in Shouyang He Lao will come in person!"

"No! I want to go there in person, so that Song Jun will think that their plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain has succeeded, and Zhang Xiaochun will report to Song Jun!"

Wanyan Hujia said: "Since everyone knows that Zhang Xiaochun tipped off Song Jun, why not kill him?"

"Zhang Xiaochun is the person the second crown prince named to keep, without sufficient evidence, I can't move him!" Wanyan Jiamu said.

The person Wanyan Jiamu was most afraid of was not Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu begging for money, but Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang is the nephew of Wanyan Jiamu, but his crushing of Wanyan Jiamu is not a crushing of power, but a comprehensive crushing of intelligence and structure.

However, Wanyan Jiamu was not sent to Taiyuan by Zongwang, but Wanyan Zonghan.

Zongwang knew Wanyan Jiamu too well. As a reformer in Jin Kingdom, Zongwang would not send someone with a bad temper like Wanyan Jiamu to Taiyuan to do bad things.

However, the power struggle in the Kingdom of Jin and the gap in the Song-Xia War gave the Kingdom of Jin the opportunity to go south, but Zonghan sent Wanyan Jiamu here.

Moreover, Wanyan Gao's death caused Wanyan Zongwang to rush back to Shangjing.

If the Song-Xia War affected the court of the Kingdom of Jin and changed the situation in Taiyuan was inevitable, then the death of Wanyan Gao led Zongwang to go north, which was an accidental development of affairs.

Chance is always a combination of causal necessity and accidental events.

In layman's terms: You must have both strength and opportunity.

Zhang Xiaochun returned to the magistrate's yamen, and in the afternoon, he received the military ration demand from the Commanding Army Division.

He knew his plot had succeeded.

There are some people who have obviously been hit by the aggressive method, but they just refuse to admit it.

A truly clever strategy is to confuse the real with the real.

Wanyan Jiamu would never have thought that the core of the whole game was to burn the food he had collected.

As long as the food in Taiyuan Mansion was burned, even if Wanyan Jiamu defeated the Song army in a field battle, it would be impossible to stay in Taiyuan Mansion, because most of the food in Taiyuan Mansion had been gathered by him.

At that time, it may be difficult for him to dig three feet into the ground to get food quickly.

As for how he dared to rush south to grab food when the whole army was short of food and the morale of the army was unstable?

Maybe a commander with a normal mind would not do that.

After Yang Zheng captured Shouyang, he stayed in Shouyang, and took people to the rich families in Shouyang to collect some military rations, and he lived a good life.

On the seventh day of the eleventh month, Wanyan Jia's mother led [-] elite troops to rush towards Shouyang, leaving [-] troops in the city.

His purpose was not actually Shouyang, but to lure the main force of the Song army to Taiyuan, and then return to aid with [-] elites, and flank the Song army with the Jin army in the city, defeating the Song army in one fell swoop.

On the tenth day of November, the Song army from Longde Mansion finally arrived in Pingyao, and a large amount of food and grass also arrived in Pingyao.

The commander of this Song army's army is Zong Ying, Zong Ze's son. He was ordered to come here and obey Wu Jie's command.

Zong Ying said: "Wu Tongzhi, under the order of the commander-in-chief of the Daming Mansion, the Shangdang dispatched 4 horses to follow the command."

"It's hard work, Zong Commander is wise, I've heard it before."

Zong Ying didn't dare to be proud, he knew that the other party was so polite because of his father's face.

He said: "Whatever is the arrangement of Wu Tongzhi, just dispatch it."

"Have you had lunch, Commander?"

"not yet."

Wu Jie put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Let's have lunch together. After lunch, I have a few young ladies who are as beautiful as flowers and jade. You can choose from them."

Zong Ying was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had heard it wrong, he said, "Wu Tongzhi, I'm afraid this is not very good?"

"Hey, why are you being so polite? It's one thing for us big soldiers to come back alive after going to the battlefield. We have to enjoy ourselves while we are alive. We should share our difficulties and share our blessings."

Zong Ying instantly gave Wu Jie a look that any man could understand.

At night, Wu Jie received a secret letter.

Before dawn on the second day, he summoned his commanders and said: "The gold thieves are all over. Yan Jia's mother led the army out of Taiyuan and rushed to Shouyang. There are only [-] gold troops left in the city. The time has come for us to attack Taiyuan." , Everyone hurry up to rectify the troops, Guo Hao, you lead three thousand elite strikers to open the way."

Guo Hao came out and said: "The last general takes orders!"

Li Heng, who joined the army, said: "Under the Wu regime, although the Jin army has only a few thousand people, the defenders of the city can recruit tens of thousands of people at any time. , suddenly want to attack Taiyuan, I am afraid it will be inappropriate."

Wu Jie said succinctly: "What Li Canjun said is reasonable, but it is a military order."

Li Heng didn't dare to say anything more.

After the generals gave the order, they began to recruit soldiers.

At dawn, Guo Hao's 3 vanguard army set off. In the morning, the [-] front army set off first, followed by the middle army and the rear army.

It was only two hundred miles from Pingyao to Taiyuan City. The news that the Song Army's tens of thousands of troops suddenly went north was obviously not hidden from the Jin Army's scouts. It soon spread to Qi County, and Qi County hurried to Taiyuan.

On November [-]th, at the same time that Taiyuan City received the news that the Song army was marching northward on a large scale, Wanyan Jiamu also arrived in Shouyang County.

Wanyan Jiamu: I have figured out your plan.

Zhang Xiaochun: Dutong is smart, I have nothing to say.

Wu Jie: I guess Wanyan Jiamu has guessed our plan, but he will still go to Shouyang, let's cooperate with him and come to Taiyuan.

The Battle of Taiyuan began with the Song army's surprise attack on Shouyang, and by this time, it was considered to be in full swing.

Comparing the strength of the two sides, the imperial army of the Song army was about [-], and [-] were distributed to Shouyang and [-] to the Xiang army.

The regular army of the Golden Army has 5000 troops, and there are more logistics troops. Including Shouyang in the east and Quyang in the north, there are a total of 13 people, and it is known as an army of 25.

Don't look at the fact that there are only five thousand gold troops in Taiyuan City, but Wanyan Hujia, who is staying behind, can forcibly recruit people's strength at any time if he wants to defend the city.

Chapter 458 The Burning Blood of Taiyuan City! (third change)

There is not much time left for Wu Jie to operate.

He made two sets of plans. If the rebels in the city successfully burned the food of the Jin army, it would be twice the result with half the effort. The Jin army's morale would be damaged, the difficulty of the whole battle would be greatly reduced, and the winning rate would be greatly improved.

If it is not fired, it will be a real fight with Jin Jun.

As for how to use real swords and guns, Wu Jie also made arrangements, according to the old rules, to lead the Jin army to the ambush circle, but this strategy may not be successful.

On the evening of November [-]th, Wanyan Jiamu, who arrived in Shouyang, stopped to rest and prepared to launch a fierce attack on the Song army in Shouyang the next day.

At this time Wu Jie had arrived in Qi County.

Unlike Yang Zheng's winding mountain road, Wu Jie's main force advanced rapidly all the way on the flat ground.

According to the normal daily march of the ancient infantry for sixty miles, they could arrive in Taiyuan on the morning of November [-]th.

On the evening of the [-]th, Taiyuan City was not peaceful. The most lively place in the south of the city was beheading people.

Last month, the Jin army captured a group of rebels in the city, involving hundreds of people. Later, Wanyan Jiamu said that everyone within a mile radius was killed.

These days, everyone in that area, regardless of gender, age or age, was arrested.

They are the ones who are being killed right now.

Some people around showed numb expressions. They watched the heads being cut off one after another and remained silent.

In the past few months, they have seen too many scenes like this.

A cleanly dressed little boy looked at the children of his age in the execution ground and asked his father, "Father, what did they do and why did you kill them?"

His father quickly blocked his mouth: "don't talk nonsense."

The big knife fell, the head rolled on the ground, and the snow was stained red with blood.

A young man who was tied up shouted loudly: "Gold thieves have no way! Heaven will punish them!"

After speaking, his head was chopped off, and the blood was still steaming in the snow.

Another person shouted: "I can die today, but there will be thousands of me in the future! I can't be killed! Heaven's law and justice can't be killed!"

After speaking, the big knife fell, and his head rolled to the ground, but his eyes were still wide open, as if glaring at the executioner.
