Chapter 6 The sudden change of situation
Whether it is hope or longing, Meng Jiu CD will not regard subduing a woman as an indispensable cause. Whether it is the quantity and quality of the army, the size of the territory, and the hard-working management, the remnants of the defeated generals brought by Yang Miaozhen will not be a decisive force.
After all, it is your army that leads your army to surrender, or I merge your troops, all relying on strength. With this point, Meng Jiucheng's confidence is sufficient.
Recently, Meng Jiucheng has been working very seriously on the surface, but his heart has relaxed.
This mental state is involuntarily, and perhaps he doesn't even notice it himself. Just like a sports game, when the score is far ahead, you can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sometimes even if you repeatedly remind yourself not to relax, your body will not be obedient.
However, Meng Jiucheng was planning and planning according to the historical process, but no one could guarantee that any unexpected situation would occur. He expected that the enemy would be lenient. Although he did not want to start a war with the Jin army immediately, some things were inevitable. It was not entirely accidental, but the time of the occurrence was somewhat unexpected.
After Pusan Anzhen suppressed Yang Aner's Red Coat Army in Laizhou, he surrendered other rebels while turning his attack target to Li Quan. At the same time, Pusan Anzhen sent Pusan Liu's family to lead the army to attack the rebels in Jiaoxi counties. Wanyan Bode, a general under Pusan Liu's family, led a thousand cavalry to attack Mizhou. Fang Guosan was caught off guard and was killed and died. His troops were dispersed and Mizhou was occupied by the Jin army.
The situation took a sharp turn, and Lian Meng Jiu felt a little surprised. According to the leader of the Red Coat Army in Mizhou, Fang Guosan, known as the marshal, had tens of thousands of troops under his command, but he was defeated in one battle. How could he be in a hurry to face the Jin army?
It was unexpectedly true, but although the defense system was not fully completed, it was still possible to resist defense. In field battles, Meng Jiucheng still lacked enough confidence.
On the wall of the village, Meng Jiucheng's face was quite serious, looking at the defeated army of Guosan's troops outside and the fleeing people.
"After the screening, they will be sent to the rear and placed in Junan and Haizhou." Meng Jiucheng wanted to resettle these people, but the situation became tense. He was worried that there were spies from the Jin people, so he wanted to send them to the rear. Even if they were to replenish the army, they would not be gathered on the front line at present.
"The local militia will be escorted by the town as a unit." Meng Jiucheng pondered for a moment and added: "Although it's a little more troublesome, safety is the first priority now."
Wang Zhongfeng agrees with this. Yang Aner's defeat in Laizhou was because of spies. How can we not learn from the lessons of the past?
"A thousand cavalry--" Meng Jiucheng smiled bitterly and said to Wang Zhongfeng: "Master, we are going to fight a tough battle this time! I guess we won't calm down in the future."
"If you fight after formation, you may not be afraid of them." Wang Zhongfeng cheered his disciples and said, "There are not many cavalry in the Jin army now, so there is no need to worry too much. Of course, we must also slowly build cavalry."
Horse, Meng Jiucheng scratched his head and looked bitter.
In fact, as far as war horses are concerned, most of the Mongolian horses are used in China. Although they are not big, they are thick in body, firm and powerful in limbs, hard-working and not afraid of cold. They can adapt to extremely extensive breeding and management and survive in difficult and harsh conditions. The tamed Mongolian horses are not frightened or deceitful on the battlefield and are extremely brave. They have always been a good military horse.
However, China has always been a weakness in the selection and breeding of war horses. It has arbitrary breeding, lacks scientificity and planning, and has never set up a genealogy, resulting in the loss of genes of many good horses.
Especially since China is established by agriculture, the types and demands of horses are mainly for horses, so most of the horses used by cavalry are to ride and ride, and there are very few real riding species. How can horses driving a cart fight against nomadic cavalry?
Moreover, due to geographical location, the Chinese horse breed was closed for a long time and there was little external blood flow. The "sweat-blooded BMW" brought by Emperor Wu of Han over a thousand miles of expedition is the current Akha-Tak horse in Central Asia. Until now, it is considered an excellent horse breed with a handsome appearance and outstanding endurance. Emperor Wu of Han hopes to use this to improve the use of horses for cavalry, but unfortunately, the inheritance of the Mongolian horse system was too stable, so this good horse has no impact on the Chinese horse breed.
In Meng Jiucheng's long-term plan, the first step is to transform the troops into mules and horses, and it takes a long time to train cavalry on a large scale. Of course, there will definitely be a small number of cavalry, serving as reconnaissance, scouts, communication and other tasks.
But even the first step was very difficult. Because at that time, not only were the rebels short of horses, but the Jin army was not full of horses.
The Khitans in Liaodong rebelled, the Jin court moved south, and became in trouble with the Western Xia. The war in the Central Plains caused the Jin Kingdom to lose most of the horse farms, resulting in the lack of horses when fighting with the Mongolian army. It was not until the later period that the relationship with the Western Xia was well established and the horse politics were rebuilt, so that the Zhongxia Army was formed, and it was equipped with a number of cavalry.
Therefore, on the one hand, Meng Jiucheng also coveted the 1,000 cavalry sent to his doorstep. Even if it was hundreds, plus all the cavalry with more than 500 people at present had the conditions for formation.
Meng Jiucheng thought about it and suddenly asked Wang Zhongfeng inquiry: "Master, I want to give Wanyan Bode some gold, silver and treasures."
Wang Zhongfeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Meng Jiucheng's bad expression, and understood in his heart, and smiled and said, "A slowdown? Or should I numb myself first and then attack?"
Meng Jiucheng couldn't help but smile and said, "You have both! I have two states and counties. If I surrender, the Jin Dynasty would have to be a big official? I'll give me some bribes, and then let the Jin Dynasty discuss it slowly. Wanyan Bird, he couldn't shrink all his troops in Mizhou City, and he always had to divide his troops to occupy the surrounding villages and towns. I'll wait for an opportunity-" As he said that, Meng Jiucheng raised his hand and made a chopping move.
Wang Zhongfeng nodded and said, "This plan is feasible. After defeating Yang An'er, the Jin Dynasty has issued an edict to implement a plan to surrender. Your reputation is not as good as Yang An'er, Li Quan, and Liu Erzu. If you want to surrender, you will have money and bribes. The Jin people will not be suspicious."
"Even if you are suspicious, you will only lose some money." Meng Jiucheng rubbed his nose indifferently and sneered: "If he thinks that I can break in one go like Fang Guosan, then come and learn about the defense of the Red Turban Army."
"Well, it's not humble or arrogant, but it doesn't make people suspicious." Wang Zhongfeng nodded and said, "Let the Jin people know that they are powerful, so they will be more inclined to surrender."
