Chapter 279 Wang Zaixing is really happy
"At the same time," Wanyan Zongfu raised his voice, overriding the discussion of the crowd, "ordered Wanyan, who was stationed in Qingyang, to move the 50,000-strong army to the southwest, waiting for an opportunity to cut off the Song army's retreat. We want Wu Jie to know that he will Actions are destined to come and go!”
Following Wanyan Zongfu's order, the entire Jin Kingdom began to take action.
The 200,000-strong army was assembled in Yanjing and marched toward Xiazhou in a mighty manner.
At the same time, Wanyan Zhehe also led an army of 50,000 to move southwest, preparing to wait for opportunities.
However, just as the Jin army was dispatched, Wu Jie, who was far away in Jingzhao Mansion, was also faced with a difficult choice. He stood in front of the map, frowning, his eyes wandering between the two roads.
"General," the deputy general on the side couldn't help but ask, "how should we choose?"
"We choose to take a detour to Mianzhou!" Wu Jie finally made a decision. "Although the journey is long, we can avoid a direct conflict with the Jin Kingdom. Moreover, Zhao Yongji's tribe has always been a serious concern for us. This time we take the opportunity to kill them. Eradicating it can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.”
Following Wu Jie's order, the Song army abandoned its direct route to the northwest and headed toward Mianzhou instead.
At the same time, Wanyan Zongfu also received the news that Wu Jie had chosen to take a detour to Mianzhou.
He sneered: "Wu Jie is indeed a smart man. He knows that the two countries of Song and Jin still maintain superficial peace, and he does not dare to easily start a war with our country of Jin. But does he think that he can avoid our attacks in this way? He is too naive. !”
Wanyan Zongfu said, a cunning light flashed in his eyes.
He knew that Wu Jie chose to take a detour to Mianzhou. Although it avoided a direct conflict with the Jin Kingdom, it also gave them an excellent opportunity.
As long as the Song Army and Zhao Yongji are fighting, Wanyan can be ordered to retreat and intervene, then the Song Army's retreat will be completely cut off. At that time, these 100,000 troops will become turtles in the urn and be slaughtered by them.
"Give the order," Wanyan Zongfu said to the general beside him, "let Wanyan Shehe speed up the march and make sure to get to the designated position before the Song army and Zhao Yongji's troops clash. We are going to give Wu Jie a fatal blow!"
As Wanyan Zongfu's order was issued, Wanyan's army accelerated its march and advanced southwestward day and night. At the same time, Wu Jie also led the Song army towards Mianzhou.
The two armies launched a thrilling chase across the vast land.
Wang Zaixing, who is based in Taiyuan, is wearing black armor and meticulously training sergeants on the school field. The soldiers formed a neat square formation, and following his order, they all moved forward with their guns drawn, with momentum like a rainbow.
Suddenly, a scout flew over, breaking the tense and orderly atmosphere on the school grounds. "Report!" The scout turned over and dismounted, knelt on one knee, and presented an urgent military report with both hands. "Trace of the Jin army was found in the direction of Datong Mansion. There are many people and their movements are unknown!"
Wang Zaixing frowned and asked in a deep voice: "Are they going to attack Taiyuan?"
The scout shook his head and said: "At present, it seems that the Jin army did not come directly to Taiyuan, but went west."
"West?" Wang Zaixing's mind moved. Xiazhou is now under the jurisdiction of Daxia. Could it be that the Jin army's goal is to attack Daxia?
He did not dare to neglect and immediately ordered: "Explore again! Be sure to find out the exact movements of the Jin Army!"
The scout took the order and left, while Wang Zaixing turned and walked towards the military tent, preparing to arrange a messenger to convey this important military information to the princess Zhao Yingluo in Kaifeng for a decision.
However, the moment he stepped into the military tent, an urgent military order was sent to the case. Wang Zaixing opened the military order in confusion, and saw an order from Her Royal Highness Princess Zhao Yingluo written on it: He was ordered to raise an army of 100,000 people and set off from Taiyuan Prefecture to Xiazhou to intercept Wanyan Zongfu's army.
He was immediately overjoyed. There had been no war in the past two years, and he was almost sick.
Now there is finally a place to use it, and Wanyan Zongfu's army can be attacked!
"Here comes someone!" Wang Zaixing shouted, "Send the order for the entire army to assemble! Get ready to go to Xiazhou!"
After the army was assembled, Wang Zaixing summoned the main generals for discussion.
"This operation is of great importance," Wang Zaixing said to the generals with a solemn expression. "We must go all out to stop Wanyan Zongfu's army from Xiazhou! If you have any suggestions or ideas, feel free to tell us."
"Don't worry, general," a burly general stepped forward, "General Mo is willing to lead his elite troops to go first to Xiazhou to inquire about information and set up defense lines."
"Okay!" Wang Zaixing nodded appreciatively, "You will lead the five thousand elite soldiers and set off first. Remember, you must be careful and don't alert the enemy."
The next day, the 100,000-strong army from Taiyuan Prefecture also embarked on a journey to Xiazhou under the leadership of Wang Zaixing.
Zhang Jun from Shu, dressed in casual clothes, was sitting in his study, carefully studying the military orders sent by Princess Zhao Yingluo.
His eyes gradually became firm, and he had obviously made a decision.
He stood up and shouted to the door: "Get ready! I want to go to the Guilu tribe's territory again."
Soon after, Zhang Jun led a team of elite soldiers and once again set foot on the road to the Guilu tribe's territory. After several days of trekking, they finally arrived at the territory of the Guilu tribe.
Jing Zang, the leader of the Guilu tribe, personally greeted Zhang Jun. After the two exchanged pleasantries, they got down to business.
"Chief Jingzang, I came here under the order of Her Royal Highness the Princess." Zhang Jun said seriously, "Your Highness hopes that your Guilu tribe can send troops to attack Zhao Yongji."
Hearing this, Jing Zang frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "Zhao Yongji is cunning and has a lot of strength. It is not easy to attack him."
"What the leader said is absolutely true," Zhang Jun nodded in agreement, "but now Zhao Yongji is at war with Daxia, and the Song Dynasty has sent Wu Jie to help Daxia. This is the perfect way for your Guilu clan to attack Zhao Yongji's rear. Timing. Once successful, not only can it eliminate Zhao Yongji's threat to your tribe, but it can also make great contributions to Her Royal Highness."
After hearing this, Jing Zang's eyes moved slightly. He was obviously moved by Zhang Jun's words. He stood up, thought for a moment, and then said: "What General Zhang said makes sense. Zhao Yongji's rear is indeed the best choice for our attack. However, I need to discuss it with my tribe before I can make a decision. "
"This is natural." Zhang Jun nodded with a smile, "I believe that the leader and people will make a wise choice."
Jing Zang turned around and walked out of the big tent, summoning several important leaders in the tribe for discussion. They sat around the fire and discussed Zhang Jun's proposal in low voices. After a fierce debate, Beijing and Zang finally made the decision: "Okay! We will follow General Zhang's words and send troops to attack Zhao Yongji!"
When the news came back to Zhang Jun, he was overjoyed.
He knew that the warriors of the Guilu tribe were brave and good at fighting. With their participation, this war would undoubtedly increase the chance of victory.
