Now that the feng shui is turning, Wang Jieru has become an envoy of the powerful Jin Kingdom, how can he give half of the face to the Song people he hates?
Tong Guan was lucky enough to ask why Jin Guo had to use force. The misunderstanding between the two countries could be resolved, and they could sit down and talk about everything.
Wang Jieru said arrogantly that the Dajin Kingdom has already decided to send troops, and there is nothing to talk about.However, the Kingdom of Jin sent troops not to kill the people, but to appease various places.
Wang Jieru also said that you should not blame us for using troops. The responsibility is all your fault for breaking your promises many times.
In order to protect the face of himself and the court, Tong Guan did not ask softly in person. Instead, after the meeting with the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin, he ordered Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo to ask the envoys Wang Jieru privately, how could the Kingdom of Jin not send troops to attack Song?
Wang Jieru said that if you are willing to cede all the land in the east and the north to us, and the two countries will use the Yellow River as the boundary from now on, then we can stop our troops and repair it with you.
Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo immediately reported the envoy's opinion to Tong Guan.When Tong Guan heard that Jin Guozhi was annexing the land north of the Yellow River, he was shocked and ordered Zhu Yantong and Ma Kuo to draft a memorial overnight to report the situation to the court.
In fact, Wanyan Zonghan never gave Tong Guan a chance to negotiate again.
On the same day when Wang Jieru, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin, entered the Xuanfu Division of Taiyuan Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan had already led his army to leave Datong Mansion and marched to Mayi in the east of Shuozhou City to garrison troops.
8 Chapter Eighty
Most of the Song army guarding the border between the two countries was the Yisheng army composed of northern Han children. When Wanyan Zonghan's soldiers pressed the border, these guarding troops surrendered to the enemy one after another, and Wanyan Zonghan's army drove straight in, crossed Yanmen Mountain, and rushed directly to the city of Daizhou .
Daizhou defender Li Siben organized an army to prepare to resist, but his army mainly recruited the Yisheng Army composed of Han people behind the mountain.
These righteous victorious troops were already dissatisfied with being discriminated against by the Song people. At this time, they took the opportunity to mutiny, captured the main general Li Siben, opened the city gate and surrendered to the Jin army.
Jin army forward Wanyan Yinshu and Wanyan Loushi entered Daizhou City without bloodshed.
When the two Jin armies invaded the territory of the Song Dynasty, the envoys of the Jin Kingdom also came to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to declare war and negotiate with the Song Dynasty.
After the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin arrived, the ministers in the court did not arrange for the envoys of the Kingdom of Jin to meet with the Daojun Emperor in order to conceal the unfavorable war on the front line.
The envoys of the Kingdom of Jin were very dissatisfied with this, so they told Shao Zai Li Bangyan and others that if the Kingdom of Jin should stop fighting, the Kingdom of Song would have to cede land to Dajin.
All the ministers looked at each other, and no one dared to answer.As for whether it is war or peace, the prime ministers in Bianliang City, Tokyo, could not make a decision after discussing it. Finally, they decided to send the envoys away with generous gifts and continue to wait and see the front-line battle.
On the East Road of the Great Song Dynasty, the West Route Army of the Jin Army continued to march south from Daizhou, and soon arrived in Xinzhou.
In order to deal with the most elite Western Army of the Song Dynasty, the Jin Army West Route Army, which went south this time, was the main force of the Jin Army to destroy the Liao Kingdom.
Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Yinshu Ke, Wanyan Saili, Wanyan Sudden Speed, Wanyan Pulled Speed, Yeluma and other fierce generals all gathered under Wanyan Zonghan's command.
Moreover, the Jurchen soldiers alone in the West Route Army numbered [-], and there were no alien troops organized into [-] households.In other words, this is an assault force composed of the most skilled Jurchens.
In this era when the Liao Kingdom was destroyed and the Jurchen claimed to be invincible, the [-] Jurchen army was indeed a daunting strike force, enough to sweep across the entire North China.
In Daizhou City, Li Siben, with an army of [-], could not stop the Jin army for a moment, and He Quan, the prefect of Xinzhou, had only a few soldiers, and he thought that the city would never be able to defend.
Therefore, He Quan ordered people to open the door and surrender, and offered Xinzhou City to the forward of the Jin Army.
Wanyan Zonghan was overjoyed when he heard the news, and ordered the Jin army not to enter the city to harass the people.
When the West Route Army of the Jin Army Wanyan Zonghan approached Taiyuan Mansion, the capital of the East Road in the Song Dynasty, the Wanyan Zongwang Army who attacked Yanshan Mansion was about to start a decisive battle with the Song Army.
On November 26, after the Wanyanchang Department of the Jin Army captured Tanzhou City, on the 28th, the Jin Army went down to Shunzhou City again, and the Wanyanchang Department and Wanyan Zongwang Army formed a pincer attack on Yanjing City.
At this time, Yizhou and other places to the west of Yanjing City were also occupied by the Jin army, and the east, north, and west sides of Yanjing City were besieged, and the situation was quite critical.
At this time, Guo Yaoshi was ordered by Xuanfu Envoy Tong Guan to lead the main force of the Changsheng Army to camp in the eastern suburbs of Yanshan Fucheng for more than 20 days, preparing for a decisive battle with the Jin Army.
In order to understand the situation of this most important armed force, Cai Jing, the appeasement envoy and prefect of Yanshan Prefecture, went out of the city to offer condolences, and met with Guo Yaoshi before the army.
After returning to the city, Cai Jing was worried, saying that Guo Yaoshi seemed to lack confidence and was afraid of Jin Jun.
However, facing the advance of the Jin army, a big battle is inevitable.
On December [-], Guo Yaoshi was determined to get rid of the passive situation and launched a counterattack against the Jin army.He specially went to the Yamen of Yanshan Mansion to ask Cai Jing if he could attack the Jin army.
In Yanshan Mansion, Cai Jing's counselors all strongly opposed Guo Yaoshi's proposal to take the initiative.
These aides and advisers believe that the Changsheng Army is already domineering and difficult to control. If the Jin Army is defeated in this attack, the Changsheng Army will be even more uncontrollable.And if unfortunately defeated, the Yanshan Mansion will be directly exposed to the Jin Army, and there will be no field troops to cover the city and carry out effective resistance.
The advisers believe that the safest strategy at present is to continue to let the Changsheng Army station in the eastern suburbs of Yanshan Mansion to protect Yanjing City.
In addition, let Guo Yaoshi divide his troops and send two troops, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, to attack the Jin army.
In this way, it can not only resist the Jin army going south, but also restrain and weaken the ever-victorious army with strong independence.
When the enemy was approaching, these officials of the Song Dynasty were still fighting each other, trying to calculate the ever-victorious army fighting for the court.
Cai Jing believes that the enemy must be united with sincerity and unite with the outside world, and he did not recognize and adopt the poisonous schemes of the advisers.
Cai Jing was afraid that if Guo Yaoshi was left in the city, the Ever Victorious Army outside the city would mutiny because there was no commander, so he agreed to Guo Yaoshi's request to fight, and ordered Guo Yaoshi to bring money back to reward the three armies, and then took the initiative to attack the Jin army.
Guo Yaoshi still really wanted to defeat the Jin army and serve the imperial court.After he returned to the camp in the east of the city with supplies from the city, he immediately rewarded the three armies to boost morale.
After discussing with Zhen Wuchen, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other generals, Guo Yaoshi decided to attack eastward, looking for the Jin army to finish Yan Zongwang's decisive battle, and caught the Jin army by surprise.
On December [-], Guo Yaoshi led the main force of the Changsheng Army to leave Yanjing City and head east to Sanhe County, not far from Jizhou.
Sanhe County is located on the west bank of the Baihe River, and Wanyan Zongwang's army has also marched westward from Yutian County to the east bank of the Baihe River.
Compared with Wanyan Zonghan's elite West Route Army, Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army is much inferior.
The main Jurchen troops of the Eastern Route Army will be Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Mengshi, Wanyan Benjian, Wuyan Puluhun, Chizhanhui, Xiemao Ali, Alubu, etc. The average quality of these generals is higher than that of the Western Route Army. Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Yinshuke and others are far behind.
Moreover, the total strength of the Eastern Route Army of the Jin Army is [-], of which the Jurchen Army has only [-], and the rest are the Khitan Army, Xi Army, Han Army, and Bohai Navy.
In addition to the troops mixed with the Jurchen army, these alien armies also included Han Qing and the Liaodong Han army's [-]-strong army.
Because the Golden Army on the East Road was not as elite as the Golden Army on the West Road, when Wanyan Zong looked across the river and saw the Changsheng Army led by Guo Yaoshi with bright armor and well-trained, he did not dare to attack rashly, so he decided to go down on the east bank first. stronghold.
That night, Guo Yaoshi saw that the Jin army had just arrived and his footing was unstable, so he decided to lead his troops across the river overnight to attack the Jin army.
Chang Sheng's army had enough to eat and drink, crossed the Baihe River at night, and had already killed in front of Jinjun's stronghold before dawn.
After the Jin army explored the horse and found Song Jun's trace, he hurried back to the village to warn.
In the tent of the Chinese army, Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the Jin army who was awakened, was taken aback.He didn't expect that the Ever Victorious Army would dare to take the initiative to attack. This army was completely different from the Song Army who only knew how to escape!
Wanyan Zongwang was not sure of victory for a while, so he could only kneel down to Dong Wangri with the generals he had called urgently, praying to the heaven and the ancestors of the Jurchens to bless the Jin army in victory.
Afterwards, Wanyan Zongwang got up and dressed neatly, and ordered the whole army of the Jin army to attack the Changsheng army head-on.
The Changsheng Army did not expect that the night attack on the camp would be noticed by the Jin Army, and the two armies would turn into a decisive battle.So Guo Yaoshi also quickly changed the form of the rushing army to a horizontal formation.
The two armies lined up opposite each other, and each unit faced each other. Wanyan Zongwang's headquarters was facing the Changsheng Army's Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren's two units, and fell into a tragic fight.
"Brothers, today is the only time to get promoted and get rich! Follow me to kill the golden dog!" Guo Yaoshi led his army to the east and rushed into the enemy's camp, rushing towards the Jin army camp.
