Chapter 304 Changes in the Jin Kingdom? Zhao Huan's constraints!
The Northwest, where the war rekindled, entered an unprecedented stage of tension.
In this troublesome autumn, the husbands of Tokyo City fought every day due to logistics and internal affairs.
After the rebellion in Hebei and Hedong came to an end, there was no atmosphere of the coming of the New Year in the entire Tokyo city. Countless new officials braved the cold and came north to take office and clean up the mess there.
The Song Dynasty this year was even more severe than the challenges it faced in the previous two years.
Internal and external troubles are testing this empire that is trying to rebirth in Nirvana in this cold winter.
Not only the soldiers on the front line are enduring the torture of coldness, but the husbands in Tokyo have not had a good sleep for a day.
On the evening of the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month, what my husbands were most worried about happened.
What happened on the northern border of the Yanyun War Zone, covered with snow, made the entire Song Dynasty even worse.
A group of 500 Jin cavalry hunting "erroneously entered" the territory of the Song Dynasty. The two sides clashed. The Song army killed nearly a hundred Jin cavalry and approached the remaining 400 cavalry to Yanshan and surrounded it.
The news reached Youzhou General's Mansion. Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu, who were having dinner, quickly changed into armor, took their own personal guards, and rushed to Tanzhou in the north overnight.
Seeing that the northern border was going to be tense and the battle was densely covered with clouds.
The 300,000 troops in the Yanyun War Zone were ready to welcome the war as quickly as possible.
When the news came back to Tokyo, Xu Churen scolded the Jin Dynasty for being shameless and took advantage of the war between the Song Dynasty and the Xia thieves, he wanted to tear up the contract between the two countries and provoke trouble.
On this day, Zhang Shuye, as an envoy, rushed to Yan Yun overnight.
He wanted to go to the Jin Kingdom to explore the reality and reality.
The emperor in the northwest also received news from the Yanyun War Zone, and such a situation was expected by Zhao Huan.
No matter how much benefit Zhao Huan gave Wanyan Zongpan, no matter whether Wanyan Zongpan was the future crown prince of the Jin Kingdom or not, judging from the current situation, the Jin Kingdom would not miss this opportunity no matter what.
Such an opportunity is beyond the control of Wanyan Zongpan.
To the north of Yanshan Mountain, the intention to go to Beijing seems to be very obvious.
There is only one reason to send troops, and the conflict in Yanshan is the reason to send troops!
The Jin Kingdom had the intention to point the troops in the south, and Zhao Huan seemed to see King Xia Li Qianshun showing a contempt and smug smile on the distant battlefield.
This made Zhao Huan very upset. He vowed to beat Li Qianshun out of shit.
As for Wanyan Sheng, you have to complete the checks and balances, and you have to balance the situation and let you know what constraints are!
When Zhao Huan was hundreds of thousands of soldiers south of Hengshan, far away in the snow-covered desert, a middle-aged man had just completed a new round of mobilization.
In the past three years, Zhao Huan has not stopped funding Yelu Dashi for a moment.
Yelu Dashi was like a rank of Zhao Huan in the south of the desert, and he regularly sent money, food, and even some weapons.
Yelu Dashi is not an ordinary military general. He is a Jinshi from the Liao Kingdom and can be said to be both civil and military.
As the saying goes, the enemy is a friend.
As the saying goes, people are short in their hands and soft in their mouths.
I got so many benefits from Zhao Huan, and Yelu Dashi, who read the books of sages, was still a little grateful to the Emperor of Song.
Of course, this gratitude is just a shallow one.
Not a true minister like Zhao Huan, who was willing to go through fire and water for him.
Although he was unwilling to go through fire and water, he was even more unwilling to see the Song State collapsed by the Jin State.
Because Yelu Dashi's future restoration of the country, he still counts on Zhao Huan's support.
At this critical moment, sending troops to attack the western front of the Jin Kingdom was nothing to Yelu Dashi, just treat it as training troops.
In the past three years, Yelu Dashi has worked hard on the grasslands in the south of the desert.
With the funding given to him by Zhao Huan, he quickly grew and grew stronger. In addition to the enemy tribes that originally moved west with him, the Wugu tribes that had conquered the grassland tribes that had betrayed after surrendering to the Liao Kingdom.
For example, the Shubu tribe (Tartars), the Krei tribe, etc. in the northern part of the desert.
How many people did Yelu Dashi bring this time?
Sixty thousand army!
Some people suggested that Yelu Dashi should not act rashly first, and wait until the Jin and Song Kingdoms really fight and both sides are injured, and then go east to deal with the Jin Kingdom.
This proposal was flatly rejected by Yelu Dashi.
Not to mention whether the Jin and Song Kingdoms will really start a large-scale war, even if the fight begins, it is absolutely impossible for him to fight the Jin Kingdom and restore the Great Liao Dynasty with his 60,000 people.
He also needs more funding from the Emperor of Song.
If the Jin Kingdom is not restrained, the emperor of Song Kingdom will inevitably cut off all the funds.
Once the funding of the State of Song is lacking, Yelu Dashi himself will be under great pressure to maintain such a huge army.
The Jin Kingdom was always persistent in his desire to get rid of him and get out of it.
Therefore, in the next few years, he will be unable to lack Zhao Huan's funding.
In fact, even Yelu Dashi himself did not realize that he was addicted to Zhao Huan's money.
Just like an adult who was originally very independent, suddenly someone gave him 100,000 yuan every month to make him free and easy. Over time, this person will lose his independence.
In other words, Yelu Dashi had already realized it, but was just unwilling to admit it.
He has been waiting, waiting for himself to be strong enough to be able to restore his hometown.
He was unwilling to continue moving westward because he wanted to return to his hometown.
If Zhao Huan had not provided support, he might have moved westward, but now someone has given him hope.
When Wanyan Sheng planned to mobilize the army and appointed Wanyan Zongwang as the vanguard, the army advanced into Yanyun and asked the Song State why they wanted to kill their cavalry, an emergency report suddenly came from the western frontier, which had been stable for almost a year.
Yelu Dashi went deep into the Jin Kingdom for 300 miles, and fought all the way to the Jin Kingdom's prefectures without any temper.
The news reached Shangjing, and the Jin Dynasty was shocked.
The north is in a grand drama of Yelu Dashi taking a walk in the Jin Dynasty, but Zhao Huan has mobilized all military forces in the northwest of the Song Dynasty except the Longyou Protectorate.
Wang Yi and Wang Yuan on Xihe Road, Xigong on Jingyuan Road, Yulin Central Army on Huanqing Road, Zhang Shen on Fuyan Road, Liu Yanqing and his son, Yao Pingzhong, Fuzhou Zhe Keqiu, etc., Wang Bing and Liu Yanzong on Hedong Road.
Except for Huanqing Road, the other four routes have repaired their troops and advanced towards Dangxiang.
Among them, Wang Yi and Wang Yuan on Xihe Road are the Western Front of Dangxiang.
Li Qianshun pushed the troops to Hengshan. Although there was defense on the western front, it was definitely weak.
From the Western Front to Xia, breaking Dangxiang's defense line was to take down Xiliang Prefecture and push the western front to the southwest of Xia Kingdom.
Xi Gong's goal on Jingyuan Road was to Pingxi Prefecture, which directly penetrated into the hinterland of Xia State, making Xingqing Prefecture tremble and Li Qian on the front line was as bright as a back.
Fuyan Road was responsible for the heavy responsibility of attacking the main battlefield of Hengshan with the Central Yulin Army.
Wang Bing from Hedong Road wanted to regain Mizhi City, take down Xiazhou, and push the front line into the eastern part of Xia State.
This time, the five-way attack on Xia was very different from the five-way attack on Xia in Shenzong.
Although Zhong Yan, Gao Zunyu and others were all famous generals at that time, due to the lack of unified command, the Song army had not yet established a city in the Hengshan area, which caused major problems.
It resulted in a failure.
It's different now. The five routes are centered on the Yulin Army, and under the unified deployment of the Imperial Marshal Zong Shidao, each has clear goals to fight.
The emperor personally fought for the army, and the morale of the five armies was greatly boosted.
On the 26th day of the twelfth lunar month, Zhao Huan did not wait to catch the traitor Cao Sheng to sacrifice the flag. The situation forced him to set off immediately and advance towards the Hengshan area.
