Chapter 111 Rise and Fall

The golden soldiers besieged the city for several days and have not launched an attack.

It's really going to fight. At worst, it's a real fight. But in this situation, the soldiers and people in Taiyuan City do not know when they will come to attack the city and be on guard at any time, so their spirits are always in a state of high tension.

Now, the female army and the stubborn Taiyuan City are like two narrow roads that meet and want to eat each other's hungry beasts. Before the first fight, they are all focused on waiting and watching, waiting for the other party to show flaws, and then they will show their killing!

This kind of moment is the most depressing and dangerous.

While training new recruits and patrolling all over the world, Chu Tianya secretly picketed the spies of the Jin Kingdom who may have mixed into the city.

Seeking clues, investigating clues and catching suspects can be regarded as Chu Tianya's "professional specialty". Within three days, he quietly arrested the three spies of the State of Jin hiding in Taiyuan City, and then picked up this extremely sophisticated spy organization.

Just before they planned to assassinate Wang and blow up the gate of Taiyuan to receive the army entering the city, Chu Tianya took them all over.

This matter was carried out very secretly, and even in the end, Wang submitted did not know it at all. Of course, he did not know that he had been almost murdered several times in danger.

Chu Tianya interrogated these people and learned that they were a personal guard unit subordinate to Wanyan Zonghan, which was called "Wolf Tooth".

This wolf-toothed force has a little taste of "special forces" in the cold weapon era. They are a group of Jianghu officials with high martial arts skills absorbed from all parties during the ten years of Wanyan Zonghan's expedition against Liao. After buying and controlling them by various means, these people became Wanyan Zonghan's private dead guard. Their main task is to protect Wanyan Zonghan, the second is to find out the enemy to help spy on various military secrets, and the third is to carry out assassination!

Facts have proved that these people are indeed good at it. They are ruthless and careful, and it is difficult to deal with.

In the process of arresting these people, there have been many frontal conflicts. If it hadn't been for He Bo's personal help, and Ada and Anu had been assisted by others, Chu Tianya's military patrol would not have suffered such a great loss.

Soon, eleven "wolf teeth" heads hung on the tower of the north gate of Taiyuan, forming a bloody landscape, where they mocked Wanyan Zonghan.

Wang Yu also hopes to stimulate Wanyan Zonghan through this move to see what he wants to do and whether he dares to attack the city.

As a result, Wanyan Zonghan was quite calm. He still besieged but did not attack, and he did not move. This made Wang Wang very confused. After gathering the crowd for discussion, I couldn't guess a result.

Wang Yu also specifically asked Chu Tianya, and Chu Tianya also said "I'm not sure". Now that the enemy's motive is unknown, Taiyuan can only respond to changes and insist on it.

In fact, Chu Tianya has guessed a little, but now, you can't tell Wang, otherwise it will be "exposed".

His guess is that since the Jurchens came to attack Song at the same time, the two sides must cooperate. The best situation is to fight together in the hinterland of the Central Plains and attack the city of Tokyo.

But from the beginning, something happened here in Taiyuan, and a strong response was made in advance. It is impossible for Wanyan Zonghan to kill directly to the city of Tokyo.

In this era, there is no fast communication such as telephone. The two soldiers and horses have already agreed to send troops together. Despite the changes in Taiyuan, such a huge military plan can't make temporary major adjustments at all. Wanyan Zonghan has to shoot at the string. Therefore, knowing that Taiyuan was on guard, he could not easily overcome this obstacle, but he still fought over.

After reaching Taiyuan, according to the established military plan of "lone army in, lightning surprise attack", Wanyan Zonghan should attack Taiyuan and take the city in the shortest time. But his reverse reform plan is just a siege but not a attack - there must be a lot of articles in it!

In this regard, Chu Tianya's guess is that Wanyan Zonghan is winning in defeat!

Since Taiyuan is on guard, it means that Jin's military plan has failed, and their lightning strike will not be successful. Therefore, as soon as he sent troops, he had already failed!

But now he is still besieging Taiyuan but not attacking. It is likely that he is waiting for the news of the triumph of another army, Wanyan Zongwang. If the soldiers and horses can win all the way, then Jin Guo's military plan this time will not be a failure. Because they have figured out the military and political incompetence and diplomatic weakness of the Song Dynasty. As long as they take advantage of the triumphant opportunity to win, it is not difficult to obtain many benefits that have not been taken militarily in a diplomatic way - a metaphor for Taiyuan City!

This is only the first attack of the State of Jin. Although they are arrogant, they did not burn their heads, and they do not want to swallow the whole land of the Song Dynasty in one go. Seeking the greatest benefit through war is their real goal!

To maximize the benefits, it is nothing more than to expand the benefits as much as possible - occupy more territory and wealth; at the same time, save costs as much as possible - reduce your own casualties!

Chu Tianya believes that Wanyan Zonghan's calculation must be very refined. Since Taiyuan has been prepared for a long time, if you want to attack it, the cost is too high, and it is a problem whether you can get it or not. For example, if he attacks Taiyuan with all his strength, the Xishan and Taihang soldiers and horses on both wings will take advantage of the fire to rob, which is not good. Therefore, he besieged but does not attack, and only firmly encircled Taiyuan, not afraid of it flying. At the same time, he starts from the weak opponent first, takes the policy of each breakthrough, and slowly cleans up the tour. Move to Xishan and Taishan troops outside Taiyuan City until the threatening wings outside Taiyuan City are pulled out one by one; then sit and wait for the court of the Song Dynasty to present Taiyuan City intact!

If the Jurchens outside Taiyuan now have such an idea and motivation, then this Jurchens army is too terrible.

hooligans are not terrible, but they are afraid that hooligans have culture.

Originally, the wild Jurchens were just fighting bravely and wildly, and now there is such a profound strategy... That's really not easy to deal with!

In fact, from the direction of Wanyan Zonghan's siege without attacking and destroying Xishan first, Chu Tianya has smelled a very bad smell of danger - the enemy is far more powerful than imagined!

Yes, Chu Tianya is from the 21st century. He has read a lot of books and TV to understand this history. However, Wanyan Zonghan personally taught Chu Tianya a lesson and made him realize the fact that history is created by people; this book is dead, but people are alive!

Compared with that period of history, what happened in front of us has changed significantly, and he can't tolerate Chu Tianya to follow the original!

......

Chu Tianya didn't dare to tell Wang about these conjectures, but in another way, he cleverly modified some details to hide the fact that he "traveled" and told He Bo.

After hearing this, Uncle He just nodded, "It's a good habit not to underestimate the enemy."

Chu Tianya smiled bitterly, "Does the old man have anything to point me on?"

"What can I point you on?" He Bo said, "I don't think I've thought about what you said. Your wisdom and strategy are far better than mine, and I can't start even if I want to give advice.

Chu Tianya shook his head and smiled, "Sir, you are a person who has seen the world. When he followed Fang La, he experienced a lot of difficulties in front of him, didn't he?

"Hey... I can't bear to look back on the past." When He Bo was told what was on his mind, he sighed leisurely and said, "In fact, in retrospect, there is really a reason for the rise and fall, and there is a basis for victory or defeat. In a short period of time, Fang La's attack on the fifty-two counties in Liuzhou was unstoppable; but in a shorter time, he was defeated like a mountain and was completely defeated.

"What's the reason?" Chu Tianya asked.

"People's hearts." He Bo said these two words and sighed heavily.

"Why don't you explain it in detail so that I can learn something?" Chu Tianya said.

He Bo smiled and said, "In short, the reason why Fang La can be followed by so many people is that he takes advantage of people's hearts to take advantage of the situation. At that time, the disaster in the southeast was the most severe. From the officials to the government officials, they were desperately squeezing and abusing the people there, causing the people to feel resentful. Therefore, Fang La waved his arm and gathered, and soon his men gathered hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack the state and county like a broken bamboo.

"And Fang La's failure is precisely because he lost the hearts of the people."

"After some victories, Fang La and his king leaders were carried away and became extravagant and eager to make progress, and almost became the second faint king Zhao Ji. Moreover, he is more tyrannical than Zhao Ji! - For example, in the years of the uprising, he attacked states and counties, killed a lot of ordinary people to plunder money and food, and nearly two million people died in the war!"

Chu Tianya raised his eyebrows in astonishment.

"All the way he went, Fang La and his generals collected all the money and grain in the treasury and took all the folk women for fun. After the defeat, the women were all striped of their clothes and died on the tree. There are eighty-five roads from Tangyan to Chuling, all of which are full of the bodies of these women!"

Chu Tianya took a deep breath, "Yes, there is indeed a reason for the rise and fall, and there is a basis for victory or defeat! If Fang La is not self-abuse and brutal, maybe he can really achieve great things!"

"The old man is ashamed! At that time, I was not much better, and my mind was not as clear as I am now, and I have done a lot of wrong things like Fang La. Looking back now, I know where the mistake was. He Bo shook his head and sighed, "As Fang La's military division, I didn't give him timely advice on many things, or failed to persuade him; I have a great responsibility for the defeat of Fang La; I also have an inescapable responsibility for the tragic death of so many people in the six states - in the end, my whole family was killed, this or Xu is my retribution!"

"Military Division?" Chu Tianya caught this word.

"One of the military divisions." He Bo smiled tremly and immediately changed the topic and said, "All those who have achieved things from ancient times to the present are people-oriented and value people's hearts. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty said that the people are noble, the society is second, and the king is light. At first glance, it sounds like a bluff and makes people feel hypocritical; when you think about it, this is simply the truth! Especially in troubled times, the first important part is to clean up people's hearts, and remember to put the people first. Water can carry a boat or overturn it. The ancients really didn't bully each other!"

"He Boyan taught me by body, which made me sigh a lot and benefit a lot!" Chu Tianya couldn't help sighing.

He Bo smiled and his eyes were bright. "When the young master achieves a big event, it's really good if he can still remember the old man's words. However, I believe that if the young master can stand in the position of Fang La one day, the world of the Song Dynasty may really be saved!"
