Chapter 92 Some people are happy, some people are worried (1)
"A great victory in Zhuozhou!"
"Zhuozhou is liberated!"
"Kill more than 56,900 Liao dogs!"
A loud and joyful roar came, and a team of Song soldiers were rushing south. They were filled with joy and slapped their horses desperately. Looking at their appearance, they wanted to arrive in Bianjing immediately.
"Rumor!" A shocking sound came from front of them, and a water line appeared in the field of vision, graceful and smooth, with a shocking momentum, and countless flags were clamoring in the cold wind.
This was the central army led by Wang Shao, who was heading towards Zhuozhou. According to Wu Ji and Wang Shao's agreement, Wu Ji was familiar with the situation in the Liao area, and Wu Ji led the vanguard to take the lead, conquered Zhuozhou, seized food and grass, and prepared conditions for the central army to arrive.
After Wu Ji led the army to set off, Wang Shao led the central army to set off and arrived here, and happened to meet the soldiers who were sent to Bianjing to bid for victory. Wang Shao was wearing armor and riding on a tall horse. His eyes were shining brightly in his tiger's eyes. With a wave of his hand, several personal soldiers rushed out and came to the Song army to pay for victory, and shouted: "Sir Wang has an order, let you go and meet."
"We are following the military orders of the commander of the Wudu, and we are about to meet Wang Shumi." The leader and the Song army were the same heads, and we hurriedly took the order.
Under the leadership of personal soldiers, this team of Song troops came to Wang Shao and greeted Wang Shao.
Wang Shao waved his hand and said, "Give it aside! Tell me about the passing." As a result, he already knew. Wherever this group of Song soldiers went, the news would be spread. Wang Shao didn't need to ask at all, he just needed to understand the passing.
Before leaving, Wu Ji met him and asked him to tell him about the situation when he met Wang Shao so that Wang Shao could fully understand it. After hearing this, he immediately followed what Wu Ji said. Wang Shao listened very carefully, without missing a single detail or missing a word.
"Haha!" Wang Shao raised his head to the sky, laughed very happily, and was filled with joy: "Finally recovered Zhuozhou! OK! OK! OK! Brother Wu, you are really planning! If you weren't a brave guy, you would just fight at the border according to my plan. How could you go into Zhuozhou like you are now!"
After the plunder, he realized that Yelu Hongji would definitely counterattack, and that his counterattack would be extremely fierce. Wang Shao advocated fighting in the border, with a strong city to rely on and would not lose. This is a safe way. The problem is that it is too passive. Even if you win, the results will not be too great. Besides, it will bring huge disasters to the border. I don’t know how many people are displaced.
Therefore, Wu Ji advocated attacking Zhuozhou. This plan was shocked by Wang Shao. If Wu Ji had not convinced him, he would definitely not agree. Now, it has been proved that Wu Ji's plan was correct, and the results of the battle were so rich that it was far beyond imagination. Not to mention anything else, just more than 91,000 war horses would be a huge harvest.
"You, hurry up and report the victory to the official family!" Wang Shao waved his hand, and the Song army, who reported the victory, set off immediately, singing the news of the victory, and headed south.
"Come here! Spread the news of the good news throughout the central army! Please hurry up to Zhuozhou!" Wang Shao issued an order happily.
Wu Ji fought very well and made no mistakes, which means that in the next battle, the Song army stood at a higher starting point and the possibility of winning increased greatly.
You know, the next battle is too important, and it is related to whether the Song Dynasty can recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. If the Song Dynasty took back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, then the strength of the Liao Kingdom will plummet and will no longer pose a huge threat to the Song Dynasty.
If the Song army cannot take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it means that the battle will last for a long time and is very difficult. In addition, if the attack of Xixia and Shanzhou is defeated again, the situation in the Song Dynasty will be extremely difficult.
Before such a big battle, the more advantages you have, the bigger your success will be. Wu Ji fought so well that Wang Shao would not be happy.
"Zhuozhou is liberated!"
"Long live the Song Dynasty!"
As soon as the good news came, the morale of the soldiers of the central army was very excited and cheered loudly.
The soldiers were excited. Their strength had become tens of strength, and they were extremely brisk in the journey. The journey of the day took only half a day to arrive in Zhuozhou.
Looking at the majestic Zhuozhou City from afar, the soldiers' blood became even more enthusiastic. They waved their arms and shouted: "Zhuozhou is restored! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
The roar went straight up into the sky, shaking the earth trembled.
The roar of the central soldiers alarmed the vanguard soldiers, and the blood that had cooled down in the vanguard soldiers boiled again: "Long live the Song Dynasty!"
"Zhuozhou is liberated!"
"Long live the Song Dynasty!"
The roars of the Song army rose one after another in the two places, gradually becoming one. The vanguard and the soldiers of the central army hurried away, and finally gathered together, and more than 100,000 Song army were in a carnival.
Wu Ji led Zhou Wei and the others to greet him. When Wang Shao saw Wu Ji's face, he laughed loudly, flew off the horse's back, rushed up, without saying anything, holding Wu Ji in his arms, and shouted like a child: "Stop it! Throw this bold guy up! Throw it hard to the sky!"
"Stop it! Throw it to the sky!" Zhou Wei and the others responded in unison, grabbed Wu Ji with all their might and threw it high.
Everyone knows that the plan to attack Zhuozhou this time was made by Wu Ji. If there were no Wu Ji, Zhuozhou would not have been recovered. In this situation, if Wu Ji was abandoned and vented his joy, no matter how good it was, it would be gone.
"Stop! Stop! Stop high!" Wang Shao yelled while throwing hard.
At this moment, Wang Shao was no different from an excited child, and he was like a deputy Privy Councilor. If anyone who knew him would never believe that he was a famous general in the world.
"Stop! Stop! Stop! Stop hard!" Zhou Wei and the others shouted, throwing Wu Ji hard.
Wu Ji threw it high and fell heavily, and then caught it. No matter how he asked him to let it go, no one would pay attention to him.
"Commander of Wu Du! Commander of Wu Du!"
The noise here was too great, which attracted the attention of the soldiers. The soldiers all knew what was going on, and their admiration for Wu Ji increased a little. They waved their arms and shouted at Wu Ji's official name, and were very excited.
"Look! That is the commander of the Wudu of our Converted Army! It is the commander of the Wudu of our Converted Army!" At this moment, the Converted Army was particularly proud.
The Converted Army was the elite created by Wu Ji. They were the core of the 150,000 new army. Wu Ji loved and admired the soldiers and felt very glorious.
"The greatest blessing in my life is to follow the command of Wu Du to fight!"
"At the beginning, Wu Du commanded the troops and horses. I went to the Return Army to join the army. I was really knowledgeable!"
The Converted Army all held their heads, raised their chests, and sang loudly like a crowing rooster.
I don’t know how long it took, but Wang Shao and the others’ enthusiasm was slightly relieved and Wu Ji was put down.
"Haha!" Wang Shao smiled heartily, patted Wu Ji's shoulder, and said, "Brother Wu, your plan is amazing. Let's not talk about the number of winners and losses of the next battle. I'm sure that it has disrupted Yelu Hongji's plan."
Yelu Hongji was originally planning to lead his army to attack Song Realm, but he was preparing to enter the Central Plains. Wu Ji took the initiative to attack Zhuozhou, seize Zhuozhou, and aimed at Youzhou. Yelu Hongji's plan to invade Song Realm is no longer useful. He must change his deployment and must take it back to Zhuozhou, otherwise he would not be able to attack Song Realm.
No one can tell who will win or lose the result of this battle. One thing is certain, Yelu Hongji will not be able to attack the Central Plains in the next three or two years. Because even if the Song army was defeated, it would burn food and grass, destroy Zhuozhou City, and turn Zhuozhou City into ruins.
Without Zhuozhou City as a base, the Liao Kingdom's food and grass did not have a suitable storage place, and the army did not have a strategic base. Even if it started from Youzhou and invaded the Song territory, the difficulties would increase a lot.
Yelu Hongji had to solve this problem before he could launch an attack on the Song Dynasty again. Rebuilding Zhuozhou City was a long time for the Liao Kingdom. Although the Liao Kingdom was very strong in military terms and had been fighting for hundreds of years, it was far from an opponent of the Song Dynasty in terms of economy and did not have the strong recovery ability of the Song Dynasty.
The Battle of Zhuozhou, this alone is enough to make Liao Kingdom suffer for a long time.
Of course, if the Song army was defeated, the measures to be taken were far more than this. The Song army would definitely take Yanyun people to the Song territory. The Khitans bully the people became popular, and the people hated the Liao Kingdom. There were many people who were willing to go to the Song territory. Not to mention the number of millions, just say less, six or seven hundred thousand cannot escape.
With so many people missing at once, the strength of Yanyun Land will be greatly reduced. Even if Yelu Hongji wants to fight again, he will not be able to raise enough food and grass in a short period of time.
Besides, if the Song army retreated and took away the people, it would carry out great damage. Wherever the Song army passed, it would definitely turn into ruins. With the economic strength of the Liao Kingdom, it would take at least three to five years to restore it.
In any case, the Song Dynasty made a profit this time. If the Song army could fight the next battle, then it would be very likely that Youzhou would be recovered. If Youzhou was recovered, the land of Yanyun would be basically recovered.
"Yes! No matter what, we are invincible!" Zhou Wei and the others also understood the benefits of attacking Zhuozhou, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Don't like it too early. We have to make a good decision. How to fight the next battle!" Wu Ji was extremely calm, raised his eyebrows and said, "Although Wang Shumi and I have discussed it many times, we did not discuss it with you in order to keep it confidential. Now, you can know this matter. You are also here to make plans and let us make a decision."
Collecting ideas has always been Wu Ji's advantage. In the past, it was impossible to discuss with the generals because it was for confidentiality. Now, Zhuozhou has been conquered, so it is inevitable that all generals will participate.
"Okay!" Wang Shao praised loudly and said, "Brother Wu is not arrogant, it's rare! It's rare! Let's go and put it together."
Wang Shao took Wu Ji's hand and led the generals into Zhuozhou City, came to the general's mansion, each of them sat down, drank tea, and began to make a decision.
"I think that Yelu Hongji is not a person who is willing to suffer losses. If he bites a bite, he must take ten bites back. If we find a way to infuriate him, he will immediately lead a large army to attack us." Wang Shao took a sip of tea and thought, "If the war in Shanzhou is not good, our efforts may be in vain. Therefore, we must end the war in the north in the shortest time. It is necessary to let Yelu Hongji lead his army to attack us early."
"Haha!" He spoke very seriously, but the generals laughed loudly, very comfortable.
"What are you laughing?" Wang Shao didn't understand.
"Shumi Wang, I haven't told you yet. Commander Wu has arranged this matter. That's it." Zhou Wei explained to Wang Shao.
