Chapter 313 The Greatest Luck
Chu Tianya stayed on the north bank for one night, but did not interfere with Liu Ziyu's military order. Liu Ziyu did not sleep that night, and as many as 52 orders were issued by his own hands. There were nearly 200,000 Song troops on the battlefield on the north coast, waving freely like the limbs of a complete man under his command and dispatch.
After Yang Zaixing withdrew, the female soldiers could escape smoothly. Liu Ziyu withdrew all kinds of soldiers and horses one after another, forming a trend of "opening one side". The female real horse, who had been under a heavy blow before, finally seized such a respite, so she desperately began to escape. At present, they have nowhere to go in a foreign land. They can only instinctively go to their own people and run to the camp of the Valley God together.
After receiving Chu Tianya's order, Yue Fei retreated to Taiyuan and completely strangled Jin Bing's return. The Xixia people left in a hurry, and they didn't even send someone to greet Liu Ziyu and hurried away. The gap left by their side is easy to be made up by the cavalry under Wang Xun's command, because there are ready-made camps and rejections.
In this way, a huge encirclement against the Valley God with a radius of nearly 100 miles was quietly formed. In the north, there is Yue Fei guarding dangerously, and a man is Guan Wanfu. In the east, Wang Xun is stationed in the Western Xia camp to wait for work; in the south, in the east is the curved section of the Yellow River, and most of the main forces led by Liu Ziyu are staring at the tiger.
The Valley God collected more than 100,000 soldiers, but there was no food and no reinforcements outside, and the morale of the dragons was lax. They are like a group of fierce wolves who finally fall into the siege of a group of excellent hunters. In addition to the grinning at the hunters, there is only panic and fear waiting for death.
"Relying on the advantages of the land, siege but not attack, and wait for it to collapse without fighting." This is the final tactic formulated by Liu Ziyu.
At this point, Chu Tianya, who is not a layperson, can see at a glance that this is actually settled. The two commanders of Jurchen were killed together, which made them lose their minds to command the action and the soul to support their fighting spirit. It is true that Gu Shen is also a good general, but his prestige and influence among the female soldiers are not as high as Zong Wang and Zong Han. Now on the verge of extinction, even if the Valley God has the ability to turn the tide, there are not many real girls who are willing to follow him. In the army, especially in the semi-barbaric army of Jurchens, which is "respected by all courage", Wanyan Valley God, who is more like a literary minister's true character creator, really does not have that prestige and ability to lead this group of wild wolves who have just lost the wolf king.
Liu Ziyu's final tactic can be said to be the right medicine for the symptoms, which shows the weakness in the character of the real woman. They are like a group of living wolves, fierce and cruel, perseverance, and extremely tough and tenacious fighting style. However, once this group of wild wolves lose their leader, they will immediately return to the natural wildness. No one will accept anyone, and even the same kind will fight to the death, and decide on a new wolf king.
This is their nature.
At this time, if Liu Ziyu continues to chase him, it is bound to attract their strong counterattack. Under the threat of external worries, they will be temporarily forced to unite to protect the interests of their ethnic groups. But as soon as the external environment becomes relaxed, their nature will be exposed. The internal division and struggle is about to begin.
So now, the 200,000 Song army has pulled up a huge encirclement with a radius of nearly 100 miles, wide and tight inside. Just like the arena in the ancient Roman era, they sat in the stands together, watching the desperate Jurchens begin the civil war and start a life-and-and-death struggle.
Most of the women's armies are formed by tribes. Their officers are called Meng'an and Mou Ke, which is equivalent to the size of a tribal chief in the non-war period. In their army, there are countless interest teams, large and small, and only Zong Wang and Zong Han, who are trustworthy, can truly make every fierce peace and seek to follow. Once without such a leader, the fierce peace and struggle among them are not convinced by anyone, and they only have their own tribes and clans in their hearts.
Once upon a time, the military system of Meng'anmoke brought amazing combat effectiveness to the State of Jin; but in today's desperate situation, facing the dilemma of no leader, it encountered an unprecedented disaster. In contrast, if the army of the Song Dynasty faces such a situation, maybe the situation will be better. Because in the army of the Song Dynasty, officials crushed people to death, and most of their officers only recognized their immediate superiors. It is managed layer by layer, and it is also possible to control the situation. However, the Mou Ke and Meng'an of the Jurchens only recognize one leader and go hand in hand with each other. In the current situation, no one can suppress anyone, and no one can control anyone.
It's really difficult not to fight inside.
"This is a commander-in-chief, a really excellent place." Chu Tianya praised Liu Ziyu in front of the generals, "Go to the army to attack, attack the heart is the best. Marshal Liu allowed those defeated soldiers to meet Gu Shen. On the surface, he seemed to have strengthened the enemy's army. In fact, he gave them a lot of opportunities for internal consumption. What we have to do now is to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight. Let the real actress fight for yourself first, and then we will collect profits when they are dying.
Some people will applaud, and some people will be skeptical. After all, considering the thinking of the Han people, it has reached such a desperate situation. Can we not be united? They can't understand the thinking logic of the female real woman, and they can't agree with the uniqueness and incisiveness of the tactics formulated by Liu Ziyu.
"I'll leave it to you here." Chu Tianya said to Liu Ziyu comfortably and assuredly, "I'll go back to the south bank, and there are more important things to do."
"Yes, my lord." Liu Ziyu agreed with a hesitant face, as if he had something to say.
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Chu Tianyadao.
Liu Ziyu hesitated for a moment and hugged his fist and said, "Lord, my subordinates want to ask... For the remnants of the Nvzhen of the Valley God, do you want to be completely annihilated, or can you surrender?"
The generals were stunned and looked at Liu Ziyu in surprise.
Chu Tianya smiled and said, "I told you - I'll leave it to you here. Of course, it's up to you to decide this matter according to local conditions. No matter what kind of decision you make and what results you get, I will think that it is the right choice you make according to the situation on the battlefield. I support you."
"Thank you - Lord!!" Liu Ziyu was grateful and fell down in public.
Chu Tianya picked him up with a smile on his face, "Why do you have to make such a big gift?" I will not accept the life of a foreign king. I am also a person who leads the army and understand such a thing. Give you the greatest trust and freedom, which is what I should do - that's it. I will set up a banquet in Luoyang and wait to celebrate the achievements of all the brothers!"
"Thank you, Lord!!" The generals worshipped together, and all of them were in full bloom.
Chu Tianya said goodbye to the generals on the north coast and boarded the boat and returned to the south. Liu Ziyu and others saw the big ship of Chu Tianya sailing out of Xu Yuan, and sighed in their hearts - if you meet the Ming Lord in this life, what do you want!
At this moment, Liu Ziyu's prestige in the army on the north bank rose to an unparaly high level. Chu Tianya's sentence "Give you the greatest trust and freedom" also makes the generals look at Liu Ziyu with new eyes again. They know that there is no need to use suspects. Now in this army, Liu Ziyu directly represents the lord.
Returning to Chu Tianya on the south bank, I went to make some preparations as soon as possible and escorted the emperor back to Luoyang.
The war situation on the north coast is clear, and it will be a matter of time before the dust settles and returns triumphantly. It doesn't make much sense to continue to stay here with the officials. At present, there are two other very important things waiting for Chu Tianya to deal with.
One is that Xixia was attacked by Xiliao; the other is that it is not honest in Hangzhou in the south of the Yangtze River. In addition, the previous Chu Tianya's fraudulent death formed a panic in the pass. If the news of Jiyuan's victory and victory is not brought back to Luoyang as soon as possible, and Chu Tianya will come forward to suppress the scene again, I'm afraid that this base in Luoyang will also have the possibility of being scattered and shaken.
Chu Tianya's style of behavior is always done as he wants to. After staying on the South Bank for less than an hour, he led thousands of relatives and the emperor's guards to escort Zhao Huan, an official, to rise up and look at Luoyang.
Chu Tianya did not ride a horse on the way back, but took a car. He was so tired that he fell asleep when he got in the car. In his front and rear vehicles were carrying the injured Qingwei. Only Xiaofei and the nobles guarded them in their chariots.
The powerful Tianziluan drove as fast as riding a fast horse alone. When Chu Tianya woke up, it was already dark, and the brigade paused to rest. Chu Tianya felt that his bones were about to disperse, and he didn't want to get down from the car. Zhao Huan, the emperor, called someone to invite the king of Luoyang to eat together. Chu Tianya refused on the grounds that he was sick and continued to lie down and rest.
His body is relaxed, but nothing in his mind has stopped thinking. There are too many things that have happened these days. Since the First World War of Wutongyuan, things have changed all the way. There are national events in Xixia and Xiliao who came to form an alliance, there are national events that fight to the death with the truth, there are also private affairs such as weddings with Xiao Linglong, the betrayal and annihilation of brothers, and the separation of brothers and sisters.
All kinds of things are intertwined, just like a huge net, which makes Chu Tianya feel a lot under pressure.
Now, the biggest thing is finally about to be understood. Wanyan Zonghan, who defeated Wanyan Zonghan on the north coast and brought back his head and Zongwang, the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin, could almost declare the victory of this battle. The Battle of Wutongyuan and the Battle of Jiyuan have lost at least 70% of the soldiers and horses of the State of Jin, and the main elites have been lost. It can be imagined that for a country like the State of Jin, which has been founded for less than ten years and has a weak foundation, it is almost impossible for them to make a comeback. The current general trend of the world is the rise of the Song Dynasty and the death of the State of Jin.
The Battle of Jiyuan has also led to great changes in the international situation. Previously, the State of Jin dominated the world, and the Song Dynasty and Xia Liao were both weak countries. Now that the hegemon has collapsed overnight, it is a critical period for redrawing the international hegemony and the pattern of various countries.
At this time, the cunning Yelu Dashi was the first to stab his ally and neighbor Xixia. While their main elite division was fighting outside and empty at home, they wanted to take Xixia in one fell swoop and first take his hegemony in the Western Regions, so as to have the Song Dynasty. The capital of the board and the chamber.
Yelü Dashi's hand is also a typical "far and close attack". His sinister and cunning are vividly reflected in his relationship with Xixia - first of all, he showed weakness and goodwill, and did not hesitate to give the jade seal of the country to Li Qianshun, the lord of Xixia, in order to reach an iron pole alliance with him. However, as soon as the international situation suddenly changed, Yelu Dashi did not hesitate to tear up the alliance contract and stabbed the sharp blade at his neighbor, Xixia, who was paralyzed by him and trusted him.
But Chu Tianya absolutely does not allow such a thing to happen. Just like the American control and suppression of the Soviet Union in the early Cold War era, and the vigilance and hatred of China later, they did not allow another force to form hegemony in a certain area, thus threatening his international status.
The reason is the same.
Chu Tianya will never allow Yelu Dashi to kill the Western Xia Kingdom and dominate the Western Regions. What he wants is that the two countries hate and fight with each other and consume each other, and they can't form a new hegemony.
At present, Xixia is in danger. What Chu Tianya wants to do is to support Xixia to resist Xiliao. Unexpected, the messenger sent by Li Qianshun, the lord of Xixia, should have been running all the way to Luoyang. This is also an important reason why Chu Tianya is eager to return to Luoyang.
On the other hand, in Jiangnan and Hangzhou, after hearing the rumors of the Luoyang change, they will definitely be ready to move. Because before the accident in Luoyang, they dared to detain the governor sent by Tokyo; if they heard the news of Chu Tianya's violent death, they would not set up a flag and set up another court, that would be strange!
Chu Tianya knows the bottom of the corruption and frivolity of the political character of Emperor Zhao Ji and the group of people around him. If they don't take this "opportunity" to do a little clown-like act, they will be ashamed of the "shame of Jingkang" in history.
......
All these things, many things are intertwined in Chu Tianya's mind, making his head as big as a fight. Although people are lying down and resting, they feel more and more tired. At this time, he couldn't help sighing sincerely in his heart - if only Bai Shi was still there! At least half of the things can be handled by him!
"Lord, let's eat something..." Seeing Chu Tianya like this, the nobles are distressed, but they don't know how to comfort him, so their expression is very sad.
"I'm not hungry." Chu Tianya replied carelessly and continued to lie still.
The nobleman almost wiped his tears. Xiaofei hurriedly wink at him and told her not to make aback. The two of them retreated quietly together and let Chu Tianya be quiet alone.
After following Chu Tianya for such a long time, Xiaofei still knows his living habits best. Whenever this is the most painful and tiring time, Chu Tianya hopes to be able to think or rest quietly alone. Unless it's Xiao Linglong, He Bo, Meng De or Bai Xun can accompany him and relieve him at this time.
Unfortunately, these four people are not here at the time.
At this time, the official found someone to invite the king of Luoyang again. It is said that Luoyang urgently reported that it was delivered to the imperial court and asked for instructions as soon as possible. The officials couldn't hold it, so they specially came to ask the king of Luoyang to decide.
"Luoyang Wang is extremely tired and is resting. Please don't disturb." The nobleman did not hesitate to refuse the messenger's request for see. In her opinion, there is nothing serious in the world, which is more important than Chu Tianya's mood and health.
"This..." The messenger looked embarrassed and said cautiously, "The officials are still waiting for the king of Luoyang to approve national affairs as soon as possible!"
"I'll tell you to go!" The nobleman scolded impatiently.
"What's the matter?" The rosefinch came over and asked.
The noble man obediently retreated to one side.
For a moment, the messenger mistakenly thought that the rosefinch was Princess Luoyang, so he hurriedly saluted, "Princess Qibing, there is a hurry in Tokyo to deliver it to the emperor and ask the court to approve it as soon as possible. It's urgent."
"Bear me the fold." The rosefinch did not deny that he was not a princess. He took the fold from the messenger and walked towards Chu Tianya's chariot.
The messenger left with relief.
The nobleman's eyes were straight, and he was shocked: Oh, this guy! Is it Xiao Linglong to openly pretend to be Xiao Linglong?!
Chu Tianya lies down and will wake up. When the rosefinch climbed into the carriage, he woke up and said casually, "What's the matter?"
The rosefinch's movements were stagnant and did not answer, but quietly sat next to Chu Tianya. One hand gently stroked his back.
Chu Tianya trembled gently all over and suddenly sat up, "Zhuque?"
There were no lights in the car, but Chu Tianya recognized her at the first time.
"It's me." The rosefinch replied softly, "Lord, you should eat something. Your health is important."
When Chu Tianya sat up, he almost faced her face. He could feel the breath between the other party's noses and see all the emotions in the other party's eyes.
At this moment, Chu Tianya suddenly had a trace of trance. Looking at this familiar and strange face close at hand, I suddenly had a strange idea in my heart - if the owner of this face died at the hands of Zong Han a few days ago, would you feel guilty and regret it all your life?
The throat slid gently inexplicably, and Chu Tianya's eyes suddenly became hot without warning.
"Lord..." The two cherry-red thin lips of the rosefinch gently spit out these two words, and a pair of beautiful eyes instantly became misty.
"Dike, do you... want to continue to be a rosefinch?" Chu Tianya stared into her eyes and said, "Zong Han's head has been cut by you. Your pain and hatred should end. You should be yourself and have the life you deserve.
"I always have it and enjoy it." The rosefinch smiled with her eyes again and said softly, "Don't call me Deke anymore. She has lived for 20 years, full of pain and sadness. The rosefinch is doing well. She loves and hates clearly and dares to love and hate. She has been doing those things freely. What she wants and should do.
"In your eyes, I will always be just... your lord?" Chu Tianya suddenly asked.
This question made the rosefinch, a strange woman who did not frown in the shadow of the sword, also frightened for a moment, and her eyebrows raised slightly.
"Do you want it?" The rosefinch avoided Chu Tianya's eyes for a moment and smiled relaxedly. "The truth is that I'm by your side and you're by my side. That's enough. The best thing in the world is to stay together quietly and not get tired of each other. I enjoy the current distance and relationship between you and me, so... I never wanted to change it or break it in the past.
"Okay, I see." Chu Tianya smiled calmly, "I respect your decision. You're right. You're by my side, and I'm by your side. This is the greatest luck - bring wine and vegetables, I'm hungry!"
