However, the troubles in the world were finally settled on April 27th, Gao Yong, the former deputy commander of the infantry commander of the Taiyuan Prefecture of the Jin army, was escorted to Luoyang, and to the left deputy marshal Wanyan Zonghan and other Jin army generals, finally settled. The Jin army invaded the south, stopped on the south bank of the Yellow River, and the battles in Taiyuan were dissipated.
The Jin army returned to the rescue urgently to rescue Taiyuan, but now Taiyuan has changed hands. If you surround it, it will not be called rescue, but a strong attack.
The Song army was defending Taiyuan by the time, it was still an isolated city, and more than 100,000 Jin troops besieged the city and attacked the aid, which was all due to old strength. For example, Taiyuan, which was stationed in the Zhu army today, is connected with Pingding Army and Tianshu City, backed by Taihang Base, and remotely controlled strategic areas such as Tianmen Pass, Jiexiu, and Tuanbai. If the Jin army was really impatient to attack Taiyuan, the three dangerous passes alone would be enough to make them accumulate corpses into mountains. When they hit the city of Taiyuan, they would probably be buried a hundred miles away.
Wanyan Zonghan had never dealt with the Tianzhu Army, but the terrifying attack power of seizing the city for half a month made the commander-in-chief of the Jin army, who had besieged the Song army to defend the Song army for nearly nine months, feel chilling. How difficult it is to fight Taiyuan, no Jin general or Jin soldiers will forget that kind of nightmarish experience. Whether it is the Western Route Army that once fought hard in Taiyuan or the Eastern Route Army that only heard of but did not participate in the joint battle, they will not forget it. Such a mighty city, a strong city, and a Jintang City, no one has the courage to fight again. Even Wanyan Zonghan, who was arrogant and claimed to be "the magical use of troops, can be compared to Sun and Wu", would not dare to fight again.
If the Jin army heard the attack ability of the Tianzhu Army for the first time, then the defense ability of the Tianzhu Army had already spread throughout the east and west Jin army with the second Battle of Naiheguan, the defeat of the 20,000 Central Route Army. Wanyan Zonghan's eldest son Shieyema died in this battle. What does such a powerful army that defends the city as still as a mountain look like to defend Taiyuan?
No matter what he looks like, Wanyan Zonghan doesn't want to watch it. Wanyan Zonghan is very arrogant, cold and cruel, but he is definitely an outstanding general among the Jurchens. Every decision he makes must consider the overall situation; every battle he commands is not a battle of will, and can bring huge benefits to the Jurchen Jin Kingdom. Obviously, a strong attack on Taiyuan will bring immeasurable losses to the Western Route Army. Fighting such a battle is not worth the loss.
Therefore, although Wanyan Zonghan was unable to kill the Taiyuan defenders and Di Lie, who had the hatred of killing his son, he had to announce that the entire army would return to Yanjing to rest as planned. He used Wanyan Loushi Army to monitor and encircle the Tianzhu Army in Taiyuan.
Wanyan Zonghan’s idea was that I couldn’t enter the Queshi Valley (Jiexiu), and you can’t even think of Zihong Valley (Tuanbai). What made Wanyan Zonghan even more angry was that he had to go to Xijing Yunzhong to escape the heat every summer. Now, it’s good that Taiyuan lost, and the road to the north was cut off. He had to go to Yunzhong, so he could only take a big turn from Yanjing to Feihukou. The more he thought about it, the more angry he became.
The Jin army withdrew its siege and there was no war in Taiyuan. This is the clear information revealed in Ling Yuan's army newspaper. At the same time, Ling Yuan also stated that the Third Mixed Brigade of the First Field 1 was responsible for the defense of the west, while the Shizhou guards in the west were Wuhu, and the major general was bare. The turtle could not be retreated. The defense tasks of the Third Mixed Brigade were very easy. If the army leader needs it, he could be mobilized at any time.
Di Lie looked at it and sighed: "What a Ling Ziyou. I must hide my little trick from you."
...
At dusk, ten miles north of the Shahu Fort, eight hundred tents were laid on a sandy slope. The outer edge was a circle of temporary villages and simple trenches. Three hundred steps away on the left was a temporary stable. Inside were 1,600 horses from the hunting camp, there were more than 300 Hequ horses seized today, and two teams of hunting soldiers patrolled in two shifts day and night.
In the central army's tent in the center of the "Pijing" lined up in the shape of eight hundred tents in the shape of plum blossoms, Di Lie sat leisurely on the felt carpet, with his helmet and gun box aside. In front of him was Sun Zhangong, who was standing stupidly.
"You're welcome, Sun Zuo, sit there casually." Di Lie smiled and then signaled.
Sun Zhangong was still motionless, his face was as ignorant as a cloud of mist. Everything was like a dream. Seeing that he was doomed, the reinforcements really came, and they came so overwhelmingly, with amazing momentum. The more than a thousand cavalry and infantry of the Xia army, who were still aggressive in the moment, turned into birds and beasts, and were driven into the deep ditches of the cliffs and the surging Jialuchuan. There were countless people who were driven into the dreamlike rescue. Before the shock of being rescued, the down-and-out official Di actually transformed into the leader of this daunting and fierce cavalry... Sun Zhangong felt that his head was not enough.
"What? Does General Sun Zuo have to talk to me from a condescending manner?" Di Lie's smile did not diminish, and a sense of majesty that had been in power for a long time was revealed through his smile.
Sun Zhangong was shocked, but he didn't dare to sit down properly.
Di Lie didn't tell him much, but simply told him briefly that he led an official army to capture Taiyuan and drive away the Jin army. At present, he needed to unite all the officials and soldiers who were determined to resist the Jin army. However, if he had the opportunity, he went to Jialu Village to visit Xu Fushuai and Sun Dujian. At that time, Sun Zhangong led the way to introduce him.
Sun Zhangong was just a matter of mediocrity. When Di Lie gave his tent, he ordered the guards to send ten bags of rice and grain, which made Sun Zhangong very grateful. He secretly decided that the Di official was strong and powerful. No matter whether the words he said to capture Taiyuan were true or false, as long as he was sincere in resisting the Jin Dynasty, he would definitely introduce it to the head of the family.
Di Lie immediately wrote two letters, one for two hunters to take back to Taiyuan and handed them to Yang Zaixing and Ling Yuan. The other letter... Di Lie played the letter that had not dried ink, a faint sneer appeared on his face, and ordered the guards outside the tent: "Bring Cao Ji."
Well, Cao Ji, the commander of the Zuoxiang Shenhuan Army, was not dead. When he was surrounded by his subordinates, he looked at the turbid waves rolling in the vortex and swallowed one infantry after another who tried the water. He was frightened and did not dare to go into the water. So he naturally became a prisoner.
Cao Ji was tied up with a messy braid. The curly horoscope that was originally very arrogant above his lips is now crooked, one short and one long, and it is very embarrassing. When he talked to Di Lie, his movements were very strange, always twisting his neck tilted, and his neck stretched long, as if he wanted to touch his ears.
Although such a move was disrespectful, Di Lie did not disobey him. He knew very well that one side of this guy's ear was brushed by a warhead with twice the speed of sound at close range, and his eardrum was shaken and was destroyed.
"I have a letter that I need to hand it over to Li Liangfu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor of the Kingdom." Di Lie folded the letter paper, stuffed it into a sheepskin cover, and handed it to Cao Ji.
Cao Ji looked surprised: "You... the general wants to let me go?"
"Yes, there is the monk who is leaving with you, plus two followers." Di Lie said generously, and then changed his mind, "But Commander Cao has to do me a favor before leaving."
Di Lie then smiled and said a place name.
Cao Ji was stunned for a moment before eating and said, "You, do you want to attack Yinzhou?"
Di Lie glanced at me with his eyes squinted: "What? Isn't it possible? You have caused me several times to trouble me and delayed my return journey. I am not allowed to have a polite exchange?"
Cao Ji was stunned for a while before he said in a difficult tone: "There should be a misunderstanding here. I think your army does not seem to be a Song army. Why should I be determined to be a dangerous enemy of our country for a while? The general must think twice before he can do it."
Di Lie smiled silently: "How do you know I didn't think twice?"
Cao Ji: "..."
Di Lie was too lazy to talk too much to the errand runner general. After he finished his explanation, he sent him out directly, so that he could be well guarded and gave him the treatment he deserved.
