Chapter 87 Deployment

Zhe Kecun, Song Jiang led his army to Yingchang Mansion, and then rushed to the camp of Shahe Town to pay homage to Li Hu...

Guan Sheng's persistence played a role in the last moment, and the Southeast Army finally occupied Yingtian Prefecture in front of the Jin army. Li Hu was very happy about this and praised Zhe Kecun and Song Jiang, but the two looked different. Zhe Kecun was full of resentment, but Song Jiang was indignant, thinking that Zhe Kecun deliberately could not get along with the people of Liangshan.

Li Hu knew that the two were in disagreement and wanted to persuade him, so he held a banquet to greet him and discussed the general trend of the world with them, trying to make them understand the war situation in the Central Plains and not be worried about giving up Jianghuai.

"Master, are we going to give up Bianjing?" Zhe Kecun was indeed a little resentful. He was really unwilling to give up Bianjing.

"Of course I won't give up easily." Li Hu said, "I'm looking for an opportunity to defeat the Jin thief, and giving up Yingtian Mansion will bring us a chance."

"The general is going to fight the Jin thieves?" Song Jiang asked.

“I have this to beat

"Li Hu smiled and said, "At present, I am training in the army. Once the time is right, I will send reinforcements from Hedong to the south and fight to the death with the Jin army."

Now, the army is being reorganized? Is it effective to sharpen the guns in the face of battle? When Zhe Kecun and Song Jiang were confused, Li Hu's words shocked the two of them, "Your army has also joined the reorganization. This time you brought back more than 30,000 people from Yingtian Prefecture, and based on this, we will form the 16th, 17th and 18th Army of the Tiger Lie."

The army of Zhe Kecun is composed of the Zhe Family Army and the three generals of Hedong. If it is reorganized into the Tiger and Lieutenant Army, it will not even exist. After the Liangshan Army expanded four generals, it suffered a great loss in the three battles of Jingzhi, pacified and Shouyang. Then it went south to the Jingdong battlefield. Although many Shandong rebels were incorporated and Guan Sheng's army was incorporated into it, there were only a few elite troops in Liangshan. After the reorganization, the number of Liangshan Army was gone.

Li Hu is very strong now, and the benefits of obeying him are self-evident. Zhe Kecun, Song Jiang and other generals have been promoted and promoted. If they make meritorious achievements in the cause of unification, they will definitely be founding fathers in the future, and their descendants can enjoy wealth and prosperity. In comparison, confronting Li Hu with self-respecting troops, there is obviously no good result.

Kecun and Song Jiang had no choice but to agree.

On the fifteenth, Li Hu ordered all the troops withdrawn from Yingtian Prefecture to rush to Xingyang for training.

On the same day, Li Hu made a series of appointments.

The Nanjing Grand Governor's Office was abolished.

Luoyang Grand Governor's Office has two armies under its jurisdiction, namely the Fifth Army of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army and the Ninth Army, led by the Grand Governor Chu Xiaoyao.

The eighth, tenth to eighteenth armies on the battlefield of the Central Plains were all controlled by the Grand Marshal's Office, and five armies were formed on the same day, with eight generals in each army under the jurisdiction of two armies. Yue Fei, Lin Chong, Yang Keshi, Zhe Kecun, and Song Jiang were the five commanders; Wang Gui, Luo Lan, Yang Weizhong, Murong Xiahan, and Wu Yong were the five deputy commanders; Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Fu Xiuguo, Zhao Renyan, Yang Zhi, and Yang Ling, Zhe Kezhi, Zhe Ketong, Guan Sheng and Hua Rong were the top ten commanders.

On the 16th, Chai Yun returned from the Jin army camp, and the Jin army special envoy Gao Qingyi was also here.

Zong Han, Zong Wang takes the initiative

When asked for negotiation, Li Hu agreed and asked Chai Yun to negotiate, the premise was to divide the three parts of Middle-earth, and the focus of the negotiation was naturally the ownership of Bian Jing.

"Zong Han said that if the general wants Bianjing, then he will give up Datong." Chai Yun briefly explained the negotiation process over the past few days.

"Have you seen Zong Wang?" Li Hu asked.

"I only saw it once." Chai Yun said, "Zong Wang looked bad and seemed too tired. I suspect he was sick, otherwise Zong Han would not be fully responsible for this negotiation."

"It's the same for everyone to be responsible." Li Hu smiled. "The Jurchens now have the advantage, and negotiations are just to delay time. Since they want to delay, I will accompany them. This is called taking advantage of the situation."

"I told Zong Han that I asked the Southeast to join the negotiations, but Zong Han has not agreed to this day."

"There is still a stalemate in Yingtian Mansion?" Li Hu laughed, "You should tell Zonghan that I have no intention of guarding Bianjing at all. Please feel free to attack Yingtian Mansion and drive the southeast rebels back south of the Huai River."

"How dare Zong Han fight?" Chai Yun smiled, "The Grand Marshal's move made the Jurchens very uncomfortable. At present, it seems that the Central Plains battlefield has entered a stalemate. Now it depends on how long Bian Jing can hold on. If Bian Jing loses, the deadlock will be broken and we have to retreat to Luoyang."

Li Hu smiled but said nothing. He invited Gao Qingyi to solemnly express his sincerity in the negotiations. "If you want Datong, then withdraw now and give us Bianjing. We use the Bian River as the boundary to divide the territory. After the negotiations in the Central Plains are over, I will give you Datong, and we will continue to negotiate and divide the northern border."

Gao Qingyi pondered for a long time and asked, "The Tiger King is determined to divide the world into three parts?"

"I also hope to confront the north and the south." Li Hu smiled, "but you chased me too tightly, and I didn't even have time to breathe, let alone pacify the southeast, so now I can only settle for the second best and divide the world three times first."

After seeing off Gao Qingyi, Li Hu immediately rushed to Taiyuan and ordered Luo Qinghan to launch an attack in early April, and to kill one blow, which would give a heavy blow to the Daibei Jin army.

March 28th, on the 28th day of Peking University.

Luo Qinghan traveled day and night, and arrived in Datong late at night. Tieying, Huo Liuge, Wu Xiong and others greeted him outside the mansion.

After entering the Grand Governor's Office, Luo Qinghan did not rest and immediately asked Brother Huo Liu to explain the current situation.

"Each army is entering the designated location and can be deployed thirty days ago." Huo Liuge pointed to the map and looked excited. "At present, the Khitan Army, Bohai Army, Huliu Lie First Army, Second Army, Third Army, Fourth Army, Sixth Army, Resentful Army, Heishan Army, Shenlong Army, Thunder Army, Jinglei Army, Yun Hai Army and Liaoxi Army, a total of 200,000 troops have reached the designated location."

"Taiyuan is under the command of the princess. On the thirty days, Liu Guangshi, the Linyan Road Administrator, and Zhao Ming, the Huanqing Road Administrator, each led 10,000 Northwest Army to Taiyuan, and assumed the responsibility of guarding Taiyuan." Huo Liuge pointed to Taihang Mountain, "Hedong Road Administrator, Jie Qian, led six generals from Hedong to guard Chengtian Army Fortress, and Lu Junyi, the Tiger Lie Seventh Army, to guard the garrison and Huguan."

"Where is the grain shooting army?" Luo Qinghan stroked his long beard with his hand, "This

How many powerful men in the cloud have been organized by Hongyun?”

"100,000." Huo Liuge said, "This battle was mainly in Yunzhong, with a short food route, so we have recruited another 100,000 people. These 100,000 grain-shooting troops can be put into the battlefield as a reserve army."

"Equipped them with weapons?"

"The grain shooting army is mainly used as crossbowmen. We have equipped them with 40,000 crossbows, which is the largest crossbow army in our Tiger and Lieutenant Army."

Luo Qinghan nodded and signaled Brother Huo Liu to continue talking.

"The Northern Jin army was led by Wanyan Yu (Pu Jianu) and Wanyan Loushi. At present, Wanyan Loushi's army is in the north of Datong, and Wanyan Yu's army is on Qingpi Road east of Datong. The total strength of the two armies is about 100,000."

"Because my main force has been moving south continuously, there are only six armies on the Datong line, and the Jin army has a clear advantage in its military strength. So when we gathered the food shooting army and recruited the people in the clouds, it once attracted the attention of the Jin army, but the Jin army thought we were just to increase our defensive power and did not realize it.

We want to launch a huge **.”

"This time, the six armies of Datong remained unmoved to paralyze the Jin army and cover our main force to launch an attack from the direction of Weizhou."

"All the troops heading north gathered in Weizhou. The grain shooting army is rushing to Weizhou and can arrive in 30 days. This army will set off from Weizhou, directly into Qiaoshan and Lishan areas, directly attack Yongxing City, and then one attacks Khan Prefecture and Ruzhou, attack Juyong Pass and Shimen Pass; the other one hides in Jiming Mountain and surrounds and kills the Jin army to rescue them."

"Once the main force of the Northern Jin army receives news, he will definitely rush to help quickly. Wanyan Yu is closest to Juyong Pass. If he cannot figure out the reality of our army, he will definitely lie in Jiming Mountain."

"I siege and kill Wanyan Yu. Wanyan Loushi lacks military strength and is no match for us at all. I can only go away from Yuanyangluo."

"In this way, our army can gather all its forces and attack Juyongguan fiercely." Brother Huo Liu's face turned slightly red. Because he was too excited, his voice trembled a little. "If we take Juyongguan, we can kill Yanjing directly."

Luo Qinghan pondered for a moment and looked at Tieying, "The key to this battle is time. The general commander only gave us half a month, which means that from the start of the attack, we must seize Juyong Pass in fifteen days, otherwise the line of Taihang Mountain may not be able to defend."

"The army is hidden in the deep mountains and forests of Weizhou, and it is impossible for the Jin army to discover it." Tie Ying smiled, "This battle is unexpected and it will definitely cause a heavy blow to the Jin army, and it will completely change the situation of the Daibei war. We have recaptured Daibei, and it is actually impossible for the Jin army to go south to attack the Central Plains again."

"It is precisely because of this that we cannot make any mistakes." Luo Qinghan stood up and walked to the map and said solemnly, "Although the main forces of the Jin army are all in the Central Plains, there are nearly 100,000 troops in Hebei and 20,000 to 30,000 garrison troops in Yanjing. We are anxious to be unable to take down Yanjing. Therefore, once Juyongguan is in an emergency, Wanyan Gao will definitely withdraw his troops from the Central Plains, but the troops may not suffer major losses."

"The purpose of the General Commander is that we must not only severely damage the Jin army in Daibei and regain the entire Daibei, but also severely damage the Jin army in the Central Plains, and give the Jurchens a heavy blow to the Jurchens, so that they no longer have the strength to go south to the Central Plains. Only by completing this goal can we pacify the southeast in a short period of time, and then have the strength to go north to recover Hebei and Youyan."

"War requires money to support. Without the wealth of the Southeast, we cannot support the huge army and year after year of war. Therefore, this battle is related to life and death. If we win, we will turn the world around. On the contrary, we will be in trouble and will not be able to turn things around for a long time."

"Can those small troops in the Central Plains severely damage the Jin army?" Huo Liuge shook his head, feeling that the possibility of severe damage to the Jin army on both battlefields was too small. After all, the existing financial resources of the court could only support one battlefield in Daibei.

"Of course not." Luo Qinghan smiled, "The purpose of this battle in Daibei is to force the Jin army in the Central Plains to return to aid. Therefore, once we achieve our goal, we will quickly dispatch the main force to go south and surround the Jin army on the line of the Yellow River."
