Fifteen days.
The rebels retreated across the board, but the retreat speed was relatively slow. Strangely, the Jin army did not pursue the whole line, but slowly pressed forward. The two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, but the atmosphere on the battlefield was too depressing, making people breathless. Perhaps because of the fact that the soldiers on both sides were very tired after several days of war, everyone wanted to take this opportunity to take a breath and take a break.
At this time, the atmosphere of the Baishuiluo Jin Army Commander Camp was also suffocating.
Guo Lu Haobo was extremely erect and Wanyan Yu arrived. He received a letter on the way and heard that Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan had serious differences in attack strategies, which even affected the army's battle. He immediately led a thousand elite cavalry to run wildly day and night and rushed to Baishuilu.
Yesterday, the Jin army won the battlefield in Dezhou, and Xuande City was obtained. The Liao army was almost wiped out, with great results. Logically, the two armies should advance together today and directly kill Datong. However, Wanyan Yu's arrival caused the debate between the Jin army on attack strategy to break out again.
完颜昱的女真名叫蒲家奴,是皇族,他带来了皇帝的圣旨.在这份圣旨里,皇帝还是要求金军以最快速度占据西京,但同时他也充分考虑到了代北局势,尤其对大夏国非常关注.他估计大夏人对代北也是觊觎已久,不会错过这么好的机会,所以他告诉完颜杲和各军主帅,如果代北局势不利于金军强攻西京,那就暂时缓一缓,先把李虎稳住,不要打得两败俱伤,白白便宜了大夏人,让金军丧失了全取代北的最好机会.^^^^
完颜阿骨打建议,假如西京攻击受阻,那可以考虑先占据奉圣州,拿下居庸关.以援助耶律淳为借口阻止宋军攻占燕京,这同样可以达到既定目标.其次,也可以考虑先把云内诸州拿下来.大夏人要取代北,首先就是拿云内.为了避免和大夏人发生直接冲突,还是先把这些地方打下来为好.这些地方有大量的驼马牛羊等牲畜.可以确保金军在代北长期作战.
Finally, Wanyan Aguda mentioned a very important thing, that is, the desert.
After the Jin Kingdom replaced the North, the Jin army would take Youyan and then go south to the Central Plains to achieve the ultimate goal of unification between China and foreign countries, but to attack Youyan and go south to the Central Plains to fight against the powerful Song Dynasty, the Jin army must have a solid rear.
In Wanyan Aguda's view, after a drastic change in Liaodong, after the dynasty, the loss was amazing and its strength was not enough to compete with the Song Dynasty. If the Song Dynasty did not fight, the Song Dynasty would continue to fight in the north and take advantage of this rare opportunity to expand its territory. Therefore, the Jurchens had to go south to fight. This was a strategy of attack instead of defense, and it was a way to ensure the survival of the Jin Dynasty.\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
但金国立国时间太短.至今尚未消灭辽国,未能占据辽国所有的疆土,更未能把已经占据地州县全部稳定下来,此时此刻,金国非常脆弱,随时有爆发叛乱的危险,内部不但有权力斗争更要花费巨大地精力制定各种制度以稳定现有疆域,而外部,当契丹人还在苟延残喘的时候,新的对手却又出现了,金国的敌人除了李虎,还有大宋人和大夏人,还有大漠上那些桀骜不驯与女真人有着血海深仇的蕃族大部落,所以,金国危机重重.
For this reason, Wanyan Aguda maintained ally with the Song Dynasty while quickly advancing to Daibei, and the situation in Daibei was directly related to the survival of the Jin Dynasty.
Wanyan Aguda requires that Wanyan Gao must clarify three things in the complex situation in Daibei, and the Daibei local war should focus on these three things.
First of all, the Jin Kingdom must take advantage of the opportunity to eliminate the Khitans to shake hands with the desert and make peace and form an alliance first to ensure that the desert and the desert will not go south and the north. The current strength of the Jin Kingdom cannot conquer the desert and can only form an alliance or recruit pacification. In the future, the Jin Kingdom's primary opponent will be the Song Dynasty, and for this purpose, it must use the most elite troops. At this time, the desert is the rear of the Jin Kingdom. If these desert and the desert take the opportunity to rebel, the Jin Kingdom will fall into the dilemma of fighting on both sides, which is a terrible disaster for the Jin Kingdom.\\*\\\
The defeat of the Khitans has a lot to do with the rebellions of the desert, especially the Shubu people. More than ten years of rebellion exhausted the wealth of the Liao Kingdom. Otherwise, with the strength of the Liao Kingdom, the Jurchens could not shake them at all. Wanyan Aguda was unwilling to repeat the same mistakes, so he repeatedly warned Wanyan Gao to send people to the desert and try every means to form an alliance with the desert. Otherwise, even if Daibei was taken down, it would become a nightmare for the Jin Kingdom.
Secondly, we must form an alliance with the people of Daxia.
As for the current strength of the Jin Kingdom, if you want to resist the attacks of the Song people, the first condition is to unite Xia to control the Song people. The Jin Kingdom replaces the Liao Kingdom, and the world is still a three-legged stalemate. Still, you still have to maintain the strategy of the north to resist the south, and you still have to form an alliance with the Daxia. Will the Daxia people form an alliance? At present, the Jin Kingdom has no advantage in Daibei. Xijing is in the hands of Li Hu, and the desert is in the hands of the Khitan people. Even if the Jin army occupied the prefectures of Yunnei, they still have to face the snatch of the Daxia people. Therefore, it is very difficult to form an alliance with the Daxia. You must be prepared to fight, and you must also be prepared to face three opponents at the same time.
The last thing is to eliminate Li Hu. This Han thief cannot stay, no matter what, he occupied Xijing and firmly controlled the situation of Daibei. If the Jurchens were not careful, they might fall on the Daibei battlefield and could only defend a corner of Liaodong from then on. Therefore, they had to kill him at any cost. However, this Han thief was too cunning. In order to survive, he could tie himself and the Song Dynasty together and drag the Song Dynasty into the Daibei battlefield. Therefore, in terms of how to eliminate Li Hu, he must start from the general trend of the world, be careful and not make any mistakes.^^^^
The emperor's view on the general trend of the world coincided with Zong Han and Zong Wang. Wanyan Gao did not deny this, but the current situation is that the Jin army won the victory on the battlefield in Dezhou, and the Liao and Han were joining forces to fight against the Jin Dynasty had failed. The Han army was retreating, and the morale of the army was severely damaged. Now is the best time to roar into Xijing, and it should not be missed.
Wanyan Olu, Wanyan's mother, Wanyan Zongpan and others all supported Wanyan Gao's decision, took advantage of the opportunity to enter, seize the Xijing, and first obtained the initiative of the Daibei battlefield.
Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Loushi insisted that relying on the current military strength of the Jin army, it would be too difficult to attack Datong. It is very likely to be in a deadlock and it is more likely to give the Khitans time to ask for help from Daxia. Once the Daxia army enters Daibei, the Jin army will inevitably face three opponents. At that time, the Jin army will not only not be able to take over Xijing, but may be defeated and lose the opportunity to replace the North.
In the face of this decision that concerns the fate of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Gao did not dare to take responsibility alone. After all, Li Hu showed his strength on the battlefield in Dezhou, and even severely damaged the Jin army in such an unfavorable situation. Damn, Wanyan Gao had to be cautious about this. If the attack on Xijing was blocked, the military opportunity was delayed and the Jin Dynasty lost the opportunity to take over the North, the blame would be too great, so he repeatedly considered and asked Wanyan Yu to make an idea.
Wanyan Gao, Wanyan Zonghan, and Wanyan Yu are all very arduous. Whose decision Wanyan Yu supports, then this decision is the final decision.
Wanyan Yu was hesitant. This decision cannot be made mistakes. Once it is made, the consequences will be unimaginable.
In comparison, Wanyan Gao's decisions were in line with the attack style of the Jurchens. They aimed at the target and continued to fight until victory. However, it is not like the time when the flag was raised in the past to rebel. Now the Jurchens have their own kingdom and have to consider the survival and development of the kingdom. Therefore, many times, the past method will not work, and they need to change their views and ideas.
Zong Han and Zong Wang's decisions were in line with the emperor's will, but the problem was that in this way, the Jin army would have to divide the troops, and the consequences of dividing the troops were that they might lose both watermelon and sesame seeds, and both ends were lost.
"Have the Song army started the northern expedition?" Wanyan Yu suddenly asked.
Wanyan Gao, Zong Han, Zong Wang and others understood Wanyan Yu's meaning as soon as they heard it.
The most important reason why the Jin army quickly entered Daibei was to seize Xijing before the Song army captured Yanjing, so as not to join the Song Dynasty and drag the Song Dynasty into the Daibei battlefield. The Song Dynasty took Youyan, and of course, after the Shanxi regained the mountain, Li Hu asked for help from the Song Dynasty, which gave the Song Dynasty an excuse to send troops, so the Jin army was forced to go to war with the Song Dynasty, which was the thing that the Jin army was most reluctant to see.
"So far, we have not received any news of the Song army's northern expedition." Wanyan Gao said.
Although Fengshengzhou was in the hands of the rebel army, Juyong Pass was always open, and Yanjing continued to transport food, grass and weapons to the Yehuling battlefield. The Jin envoys in Yanjing maintained contact with the Jin army in Daibei through this channel, so Wanyan Gao knew about Yanjing.
"The people of the Song Dynasty knew that we had started attacking Xijing and had been fighting for more than twenty days. Why haven't they launched an attack yet?" Wanyan Yu asked again, "Who can explain the reason?"
"The people of the Song Dynasty may want to get a bargain and use the current situation to force Yelu Chun to surrender." Wanyan Olu said.
"How could Yelu Chun surrender? He made a confession to the Song Dynasty and was willing to be a vassal of the Song Dynasty. This was the limit, but the Song Dynasty emperor refused. This shows that the Song Dynasty was determined to retake Youyan by force." Zong Han immediately retorted, "In my opinion, the Song Dynasty people were not prepared for the Northern Expedition at all, or there was a rebellion in their country."
Many people agreed with Zong Han's speculation. The Song Dynasty was very powerful. They went to war with the people of Daxia and often used an army of 100,000 or 200,000, and fought for several years. This strength was amazing. It was no problem to fight a Yanjing with the strength of the Song Dynasty, and it was about to overthrow the Liao Dynasty, so the Song Dynasty did not launch an attack so far, so there must be a lasting reason.
Wanyan Yu thought for a while and asked again: "If the Song army launches the Northern Expedition, with Yelu Chun's strength, how long can it last?"
"Yelu Chun still has 80,000 troops. Apart from the troops stationed in western Liaoning, he can call at least 50,000 people to defend the city." Zong Han said, "Yanjing is tall and strong, with a city set in the city, and there are sufficient food and grass weapons. If the Song army attacked the north with 300,000 people, Yelu Chun would definitely not be a problem for a month."
"Then why are we hesitating?" Wanyan Yu smiled, "Immediately attack Yunnei, first take down the Yunnei prefectures, and then send envoys to discuss peace with Daxia and Damo Fans. When the people of Daxia and Damo Fans are stabilized, we will only have Li Hu, and we are still afraid that we will not be able to seize Xijing?"
"What if the people of Daxia don't agree to peace talks?"
"Didn't the people of Daxia just want to expand their territory? Let's give them a few prefectures and counties. Compared with the loss of Daibei, what's the point of giving them a few prefectures and counties to the people of Daxia?"
