Chapter 125 Variables

The Golden Soldier Battalion.

A group of vigorous and fierce people of the Jurcharla came out of Wanyan Zonghan's big tent, all full of fatigue.

A Taiyuan city has not been beaten for so long, which has never happened since the rise of the women. Tens of thousands of soldiers were lost in a battle, which was also unprecedented.

As the saying goes, at the end of the strong crossbow, it can't wear Lu Wei. Although the real woman who attacks thousands of miles alone maintains a tough nature, after all, it is the veteran of the division who is tired and is close to the edge of overdraft.

Even if it is a real beast, it is impossible to fight endlessly. Recently, among the real women who have always made a living and enjoy war, there has also been a faint flood of "war-weariness" emotions. Just now, Wanyan Zonghan summoned the senior officers in the army, such as Bo Ji Lie and Meng'an, and secretly discussed his views on the current situation of the war. Jurchens have always expressed their opinions undisguised in such meetings, so several people put forward the idea of "just go back to the division for the time being, and he will fight again", which immediately won the support of most people.

From this point of view, war-weariness is already the "mainstream thought" in the Jin army.

The pressure on Wanyan Zonghan has increased unprecedented.

After the generals dispersed, he invited Shi Liai again, and the two of them made a detailed consultation. There are some things that Wanyan Zonghan can't tell his subordinates, which is a metaphor for the movement in the court of the State of Jin.

Shi Liai said to Wanyan Zonghan, "Wolf Lord, I have to repay you. The second prince has returned to the division triumphantly, and your majesty will greet him and appreciate him in person. Nowadays, the border of Hebei in the Southern Dynasties is almost all my big gold country, but the area of Taiyuan in the east of the river is still struggling. After learning that our army's hard battle in Taiyuan was fruitless, Your Majesty sent someone to send an oracle to ask the wolf master to return to the master first, and wait for the Japanese army to fight in Taiyuan again.

"Your Majesty has always been polite to me, so it is very euphemistic. In fact, I know that if it hadn't been for the last resort, Your Majesty would never have interfered with my troops on the front line. Wanyan Zonghan frowned and said, "Now our army is difficult to get off. It has set up such a big position in Taiyuan and spent so much money and food, but it still hasn't taken the city. Personally, this is a great humiliation. However, from the analysis of the military pattern of the two countries, this is a painful defeat - Taiyuan is so crucial that it will be difficult for our Dajin Kingdom to exert all its strength in the future, posing a fatal threat to the Southern Dynasties. Although the second prince has taken down Hebei and the East Road has been smooth. However, the front along the way is too long and the width is too wide. It is difficult for us to receive all the cities in Hebei in a short time. From there, it is easy to be prepared by the Southern Dynasties, so it is by no means the best strategy. Only by fighting against Taiyuan and cutting off the connection between the Southern Dynasties in Tokyo and the Western Army, can we capture the thief and destroy the Southern Dynasties in one fell swoop!"

"Yes! Taiyuan is of great strategic significance. While the Southern Dynasty has not paid attention to Taiyuan and Taiyuan is close to the verge of collapse, it is indeed a good time to take down the city. If you give up now, you will undoubtedly give up all your previous achievements. I'm afraid it will be more difficult to win the city in the future. Shi Liai said, "But now our army is also a veteran of the division, tired and weak in fighting spirit. In addition, the implementation of strong walls and clear fields in Taiyuan makes it impossible for us to get grain on the spot, and the transportation of grain and grass in the rear is very difficult. Now the supply of the army is very tight. It is estimated that if the silver art does not bring food in another ten days, the army will cut off the grain. This is not good!"

Wanyan Zonghan's eyebrows were deep and his face was tight, and he nodded slowly. "Although I know that Yinshu has tried my best, even if I make the working people in Shuo and Dai Erzhou into dry food, I can't stand the huge consumption of these hundreds of thousands of troops. Taiyuan is really a stubborn hard bone. With this circle of broken walls, they actually resisted our several fierce attacks, which also led to the serious loss of our troops. I have to admit that Taiyuan City is the biggest trouble I have encountered since Wanyan Zonghan unified the army. Wang Yu, Zhang Xiaochun, and the smelly Chu Tianya are more difficult than we thought.

"It's really unexpected." Shi Liai also nodded with deep consent, "Originally, according to our plan, we besieged Taiyuan and cut off its external reinforcements and supplies, making it completely isolated and desperate, and then put pressure on it with the help of the Southern Court. According to the always cowardly style of the Southerners, Taiyuan should have surrender at this time. Unexpectedly, instead of surrendering, they also resisted several fierce attacks from us. This is a unique thing in the past - there has never been a city that can withstand more than two rounds of fierce attacks by the wolf master, even the Yunzhong Mansion of Liao, where many soldiers were strong at the beginning!"

"So this time, we are indeed suffering from the problem of underespity." Wanyan Zonghan's face became more and more ugly. "Wang Yu, Zhang Xiaochun and Chu Tianya were all unknown and unknown in the past. But now, with such an inconspicuous earth city as Taiyuan, they have resisted the Jin army for several months! - Why is the second prince so lucky? As soon as he killed him to Yanshan Mansion, Guo Yaoshi led his troops to surrender. As soon as he arrived at the Yellow River, the hundreds of thousands of southern troops stationed on the Yellow River fled. When he was about to be unable to hold on and facing the desperate situation of being surrounded, the officials of the Southern Dynasty sent people to cede land to make peace with him?

Shi Li Ai also shook her head with a wry smile. These words are not enough for the generals outside to hear, otherwise, it is really depraved. But he also heard from Wanyan Zonghan's words that now the pressure in Wanyan Zonghan's heart comes not only from the military, but also from the criticism and criticism from the Jin Dynasty. After all, the two people and horses went out together, and the second prince Wanyan Zongwang won the triumphantly and made a lot of money; Wanyan Zonghan's journey was a long-term loss of soldiers and did not win such a small city as Taiyuan!

Although the strategic significance of the small city of Taiyuan is no less than that of the whole land of Hebei, not everyone understands this truth. What more people see is a superficial phenomenon. Compared with it, the second prince will look extremely brave, but Wanyan Zonghan is quite incompetent. The two are the highest military commanders of the State of Jin, and they are compared with each other. Wanyan Zonghan can't stand it.

"Wolf Lord, since the army is thinking about returning, your majesty also has a will. It's better for our army to retreat for the time being. After the soldiers and horses are rectified to replenish grain and fodder in the coming year, we will fight against Taiyuan. Shi Li Ai said admonishment.

Wanyan Zonghan shook his head solemnly and slowly: "Now retreat, we will really lose. The honor and disgrace of my Wanyan Zonghan is nothing. The key is that if you don't take Taiyuan today, it will be difficult for him to attack again! Southerners are not stupid. It is impossible for them not to realize the important strategic significance of Taiyuan. Once we see that we have not knocked down the city, the group of capricious monarchs and ministers in the southern court will inevitably have a relapse of the old disease and will infect Taiyuan and take it for themselves. Once we retreat and release the blockade line, they will strengthen the city's defense and increase the number of troops, and the road to Taiyuan will be completely blocked!"

"According to the meaning of the wolf lord, our army still has to insist on the strong attack?" Shi Liai frowned, "In this way, our army will also be dragged down. It's not easy for the court to make a good deal.

Wanyan Zonghan was full of sadness and distress for a long time. He gritted his teeth fiercely and said, "Hold on for another ten days and carry out the last three rounds of attacks!" If you can't win, withdraw!"

Shi Li Ai suddenly jumped in shock - still playing ten days or three rounds?

"What, the master disagrees?" Wanyan Zong Handao.

"Since the wolf master's idea has been made, I have nothing to say." Shi Liai only nodded, "Just hold on... for the last ten days!"

At this time, on the vast snow-covered Taihang Mountain, on the top of a certain peak, two people stood - Baixu and Guanshan.

"The golden soldiers have besieged the city for dozens of days, and it is believed that it has already been the end of the crossbow. Military division, when will our people take action? Guan Shan asked.

Bai Wei unfolded the iron-bone silver fan and put it in his eyes. He raised his eyes and looked at the golden soldier camp at the bottom of the mountain. Zhizhu smiled and said, "Wait for a few more days!"

"Do you still have to wait?" Guan Shan frowned, "I think I have seen Xishan being imprisoned and Taiyuan suffer heavy losses. How long will it take?"

"Brother, if you can't bear it, you will make a mess. For the overall victory, some sacrifices are inevitable. Bai Shu put down his fan and said seriously, "If Xishan, Taiyuan and other mountains of Taihang, every time there is a crisis, we will go out to rescue. I'm afraid my Qixing Mountain has already had the same ending as Xishan. This is a tough battle. Compared with the people and horses of Taiyuan and Jin, now more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Qixing Mountain are actually not worth mentioning. But if you use your cleverness to make a killer mace at a critical time, you can also fight big with small and create miracles!"

"Let's say it directly - how to create miracles with small and big?" Guan Shan frowned and looked at the golden man's barracks, as if he was a little impatient.

Bai Xun didn't dare to nag about the long talk, so he said, "With a strange soldier, he bypassed the flying fox road, cut the road and cut off the grain and cut off the way back!"

Guan Shan's eyes suddenly lit up, "This tactic is not new. At first, Chu Tianya proposed to let Xishan implement it, but they failed.

"That's right. That's why we have to do it again. Wanyan Zonghan must not have thought that we have failed once to cut off his food, and we dare to go there again!" Bai Yu said, "Taiyuan implements Jianbi Qingye, and Wanyan Zonghan's supplies can only be transported by the flying fox ancient road in the rear. That place is narrow and long, and a man can't open it. As long as his grain road is cut off, the golden soldiers will be in chaos! At that time, my Qixing Mountain army went to raid again, and joined forces with Taiyuan to attack the defeated generals of the State of Jin - can it be invincible?"

"Very good." Guan Shan took a deep breath, "I personally led the troops to intercept the Flying Fox Road!"

"Brother, you can't go." Bai Yu quickly bowed his hand and said, "Taihang Zhushan also wants the eldest brother to preside over the overall situation. If the eldest brother leaves, no one can mobilize the other people in the cottages.

"Isn't there still Jiao Wentong?" Guan Shan said lightly, "After I leave, let him temporarily take the position of the owner of the village."

Bai Wei advised, "The eldest brother is the lord of the cottage and the head of the nine mountains of Taihang. He should be in the center and command, but why should he take the stone to charge and fight?"

"Guan is a martial artist, so why do you have to say it?" Guan Shan waved his one-arm, "I've made up my mind, needless to say!"

"Yes..." Bai Wei didn't dare to say more. He only thought in his heart that although the eldest brother was the owner of the village, most of the real power fell into the hands of Jiao Wentong. At the beginning, it was Jiao Wentong who ceded the position of the owner of the village to him. The eldest brother is a hero and honest man. I'm afraid that he has always felt in his heart that the position of the owner of the village is not right or bad. Therefore, he is always responsible. He must be the first in every battle. If he is blessed and enjoys difficulties, he is afraid that he will fall behind half a step behind others or be embarrassed and wronged his brothers.

"Military division, what do you think of Taiyuan Chu Tianya?" Guan Shan suddenly asked.

Bai Xi was slightly stunned and arched his hand and said, "The quality is excellent, bold and careful. If you dare to be the first, you can achieve great things."

Guan Shan smiled slightly and nodded and said, "If he is still alive and Qixing Mountain is still alive after this battle, we must invite him to the cottage to sit in a chair. Like him, the government army can no longer tolerate him, and the only way out is for him. I also see that this person is extraordinary. If Qixing Mountain can be nettened, he must be like a tiger with wings.

"I'm afraid it's difficult." Bai Shu said.

Guan Shan made a slight sign, "Why did you say this?"

"This person... is not a thing in the pool, and he will not be willing to live under people for a long time." Bai Shu replied truthfully.

Guan Shan laughed loudly: "What the military master saw is the same as someone! - Yes, Chu Tianya is still very young and just a piece of jade, but now it is enough to see that he must not be an ordinary person. If in time, if he is really able to convince the expectations of the public and leaders, what if he is to let him be the owner of the seven-star mountain? - The position of the owner of the village, the virtuous and capable live in it!"
