Chapter 23: Attacking Datong Again
An error occurred while processing s private file
In the middle, the Northern Yuanyang of the Jin army was in charge of the Western Tent.
Huanglong Mansion came to the imperial order, and the Jin army marched southward to attack the Song Dynasty.
Anban Boji Lie Wanyan was the marshal of two routes.
Moved Boji Lie Zonghan as the vanguard of the left deputy marshal, and the commander Wanyan Xiyin as the right supervisor of the marshal. The left Jinwu General Yelu Yuji was the right capital of the marshal, and led the Western Route Army to the south from the collapsed ridge to attack Datong.
Zong Wang was the right deputy marshal and commanded the Eastern Route Army. The Eastern Route Army was divided into two armies. The six armies of Zhongjing were commanded by Wanyan Talan as the six armies of the Lu, and Xi was the deputy. He led his army south from Gubeikou to attack Yanjing.
Wanyan's mother was the commander-in-chief of Nanjing Road and was appointed as the deputy. She was the commander-in-chief of the Privy Council, Liu Yanzong, also led the army to attack Yanshan from Nanjing (Pingzhou Road).
This is the largest military operation of the Jin Kingdom since Wanyan Aguda died, because the opponent was the Song Dynasty and the most powerful kingdom today. The Jin army devoted all its national strength, and its primary goal was Datong and Yanjing, and all Yanyun were taken.
In the Western Tent, the most powerful generals of the Jin Kingdom gathered together, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yu (Pu Family Subordinate), Wanyan Olu, Wanyan Loushi, Wanyan Yinshuke, followed by Yelu Yuji, and the other is when the Tongzhi Privy Council served the Han people.
As Zong Han's first assistant, Gao Qingyi stood in front of the map to explain the attack strategies to the commanders of each army in detail.
"So far, the Western Route Army has assembled a total of 210,000 troops." Gao Qingyi pointed to the map and pointed to the locations of each army and said, "The 150,000 troops in the Western Tent, more than 20,000 cavalry of the collapsed ridges, more than 10,000 cavalry of the Black Carriage, and more than 30,000 horses in Shangjing have arrived at the pre-determined location. More than 30,000 cavalry of the Wugu Dilie and Xiaofan from Modong are heading south. It is estimated that the River of Lightning will be reached at the beginning of next month, so that all the 240,000 troops will be assembled."
"In mid-June, Li Hu led Hu Lie's main force to advance from the west of Wula Mountain to attack Xia Kingdom. According to the latest news, Li Hudi's army is besieging Keyimen." Gao Qing's fingers were drawing from Helan Mountain on the map to Datong. "From Keyimen to Datong, about 2,000 miles. If Li Hu wants to withdraw, it will take at least one month. According to the requirements of Huanglongfu, we will launch an attack at the same time as the Eastern Route Army. In early December, it will snow in the north. If Li Hu withdraws, the speed will be slower. It will take at least forty to fifty days. If the time for Datong seeking help is added, then we will attack Datong for at least sixty to seventy days."
"In other words, we launched an attack at the beginning of the 12th. Li Hu will not be able to return to Datong until at least mid-February." Gao Qingyi looked at the generals in the tent and looked worried. "Although Li Hu and his landlord army are not in Datong, according to our investigation, there are at least 100,000 tiger brigades on the Datong line."
"Including the Yun Inland Army?" Wanyan Xiyin asked. He had just arrived from Huanglong Mansion with the imperial edict. He had no idea about the situation in Daibei.
"Including." Gao Qingyi said. "There are Iron Eagle Army stationed in Yunnei, Tiande Army and Xiaguodi Henan. There are approximately 30,000 troops. Fengshengzhou is the Houjiadi army. About 20,000 to 30,000. Among them, the garrison of Juyongguan is Zhang Gaoer, the strong general under Li Hu. There are about 40,000 troops in Datong. Luo Qinghan and Zhang Guanyu are in charge. If we do not have much error in investigating the news of the land, this is the total force of the Hulie Mansion currently guarding Daibeidi."
Wanyan Xiyin was a little suspicious. He leaned against Zong Han and asked in a low voice: "You have met him before Li Hu's Western Expedition. Do you feel that his purpose in this Western Expedition is really to attack Helan Mountain? With his strength, he can defeat the Dangxiang people and capture Xingqing Mansion?"
Zong Han smiled slightly. "It doesn't matter. No matter what Li Hu's purpose is, we must fight Datong. If his landlords can come back in time, it will not be more difficult for us to attack Datong. It will not affect the overall situation."
Wanyan Xiyin hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Are you sure there is no problem here?"
"My scout has always been hidden in the front area. As long as Li Hu withdraws his troops, I can get news. So even if there is a problem, it is not a big problem." Zong Han whispered, "The reason why Li Hu fought Xixia was purely to break out of the siege. Otherwise, if the Song, Jin and Xia attacked him, how could he defend Daibei? He suddenly fought Xixia, changed the situation in the north, turned passive into active, and had a very clever method. So if nothing unexpected happens, Li Hu returned to Datong, and his primary goal was not us, but the Song Dynasty, and he had to take the opportunity to go south and rob with the fire."
"Li Hu is such a person." Wanyan Xiyin smiled, "I have always been unable to understand why Da Song killed him impatiently. Isn't this causing trouble for himself?"
"The Song Dynasty is very arrogant, arrogant and arrogant." He smiled, "In their eyes, what is Li Hu? He is just a northern Han captain, and he doesn't take it seriously at all. This time they will suffer a great loss."
"What if Li Hu wants to kill two birds with one stone?" Wanyan Xiyin, "Li Hu is a scheming person, so he must be."
"Of course there is this possibility." Zong Han said, "Of course Li Hu hopes that we will lose both sides with the Song Dynasty, and then he will come out to get a bargain, so our attack on Datong this time is just a feint."
"Few attack?" Wanyan Xiyin didn't understand and was about to continue asking. Zong Han pointed to Gao Qingyi who was talking nonstop, "Let him hear what he said."

The target of Huanglong Mansion's attack this time is to take Yan Yun all the way,
Yun has achieved a high-level view and can form strategic advantages for the Song Dynasty
The Song Dynasty is currently in troubles internally and externally. There are rebellions in Hebei and Shandong, frequent natural disasters, and there are Dangxiang people and Han people who are eyeing you covetously. Once the Jin Kingdom occupied Youyan, it would have another enemy. The Song Dynasty was overwhelmed and exhausted. At this moment, if we take the initiative to discuss peace with it and help it surround Li Hu in Daibei, would the Song Dynasty agree?
"If the Song Dynasty does not agree, we will go south to attack Hebei. At this time, if the Song Dynasty wants to stop us from going south, it must ask Li Hu for help and ask Li Hu for support. In this way, Li Hu will go south with the momentum, kill Hebei directly, and threaten the Central Plains. The Song people are equivalent to leading wolves into the house and defeating themselves. Therefore, as long as the conditions for peace agreements are favorable to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty will definitely agree."
"The Song Dynasty negotiated peace with us, but will it keep its alliance and join forces to attack Daibei? Or privately argue with Li Hu to help Li Hu beat us so as to reap the benefits of the fisherman?" Gao Qingyi smiled, "With the cunning of the Song Dynasty, it obviously would not attack Daibei with us, but we got Youyan and could attack both ways. In order to eliminate Li Hu, the Song Dynasty would inevitably cut off its support to Li Hu. Li Hu was trapped in Datong and was in danger. With Li Hu's character, would he wait for death? Of course not. We can imagine that Li Hu had only one way to go south under our heavy blow."
"Once Li Hu goes south, he will definitely fight fiercely with the Song Dynasty." Gao Qingyi smiled with a smile, "Li Hu is desperate and has his eyes red. Even if the Song Dynasty blocks him, it will be scarred. At this time, we can go south from both Datong and Yanjing at the same time and kill Bianjing."
This strategy was implemented and was imposing. The generals in the tent were infected by it, and they looked excited and discussed enthusiastically.

Gao Qingyi waved his hand and signaled everyone to calm down.
"The total strength of the Western Route Army is only 240,000. Even if we have more than two months of attack, after the last Xijing War, we were not sure to conquer Datong, especially in this cold weather, so after the war began, we feinted Datong, and at the same time attacked Fengshengzhou with the main force, first seize Juyongguan, cooperate with the Eastern Route Army to quickly conquer Yanjing, and take all Youyan."
"After getting Youyan, we discussed peace with the Song Dynasty, and gathered the main forces of the east and west, attacking Datong from Zhenchuan Fort, Qing: Dao and Huairen respectively."
"We failed to attack Datong, and learned a lot of lessons, but we did not take the lead in conquering Fengshengzhou, which led to our inability to attack Datong from two directions. This is an important reason for the failure." Gao Qingyi pointed to the map and said loudly, "This time we learned the lesson, first attack Fengshengzhou, and then the Western Army launched an attack from Zhenchuanbao and Qing} Road, while the Eastern Army took the Zijin Pass, from Feihu to Lingqiu Ancient Road, crossed Hengshan, and killed Huairen directly, cut off the connection between Datong and Taiyuan, and surrounded it on three sides, so that Datong will surely be conquered."
After Gao Qingyi finished speaking, Zong Han slowly stood up, "There is more than a month before the day of the attack. The troops slowly enter the combat position. Don't let the Tiger Lie Army discover our intention to attack."
Then he made an attack deployment.
Wanyan Yu led the Fan Army of the Collapsed Ling and Wei of the Chezishi crossed Yinshan and feinted the attack on Yunnei, delaying the time when the main force of the Tiger Lie Army returned to Datong.
Wanyan Xiyin and Yelu Yuji led a large army to attack Zhenchuan Fort and threatened Datong head-on.
Zong Han and Ganlu personally led the main force to attack Fengshengzhou. The troops along the way were as high as 160,000, which had an absolute advantage in force, which could ensure that the Jin army won Juyong Pass in the shortest time and opened up the access between Yanyun.

In mid-October, Datong, Hulien Mansion.
Guo Yaoshi urgently reported that the Jin army gathered in large quantities on Pingzhou Road. At the same time, the Jin army from Zhongjing also gathered in large quantities at Gubeikou and Songting Pass. The war was about to begin, but Bianjing turned a deaf ear to the warnings of other places, and Cai Jing from Yanshan Prefecture also ignored it. It was even more ridiculous that the envoy of the Song Dynasty actually came to Huanglong Mansion to congratulate Wu Qimai on his birthday with generous gifts.
Luo Qinghan and Huang She and Xiao Delidi discussed for a long time, but they were still unsure of their minds, so they immediately reported to the princess Luo Sinan.
"Call the commanders of each army immediately to discuss defense strategies." Luo Sinan did not hesitate and immediately ordered, "I urgently report to the King of Tiger and withdraw the troops immediately."
Huang She's face said, "If this news..."
"This news is definitely true." Luo Sinan frowned deeply and said with great certainty. "For several months, Pharmacist Guo has repeatedly reported the news, and the evidence is conclusive, so there is no doubt."
"If this is Bian Jing's trick..." Luo Qinghan did not believe Guo Yaoshi, and he hated the traitor, "The general commander just was in Helan Mountain and was attacking Xingqing Mansion at this moment. We are very likely to seize Hetao. If this opportunity is lost because of Guo Yaoshi's lies~
"We may also lose Dai Bei because we don't believe in Pharmacist Guo.
