Chapter 150 The Great Gold Expedition to Shandong (Alright!)
Outside the low and broken county town of Wangdu County, Dingzhou, a large area of tent appeared at some point.
At a glance, you can tell that this camp is not a hard camp like the Song army, but a large camp of the Jin army.
The Song army's hard villages were tight and solid, and the locations for setting up villages were not open but dangerous. Therefore, there were often not many open spaces in the camps. The trenches were wide and deep, and the villages were tall and solid. Sheep and horse walls were often built behind the villages. There were arrow towers everywhere in the horse-raising walls, and looking at the towers. From a distance, you can see the towers densely covered with wooden fences and towering and indestructible.
If there were tens of thousands of Song troops building a base, it would be like building a fortress, and the Jurchens would attack with a strong force, and most of them would suffer heavy casualties!
However, this camp located in Zhongshan Prefecture (Dingzhou) of the Song Dynasty covers a very wide area, which looks a bit scattered, and the camp is also very empty. The surrounding trenches and villages are also hastily done. There are no arrow towers, and only some relatively tall towers have been built. The doors to and from the camp are also very wide, and the cavalry can enter and exit quickly.
Obviously, this is a large camp of an army dominated by cavalry. Judging from its area, there are probably tens of thousands of cavalry gathered here. Today, the Song Dynasty cannot produce so many cavalry, so the troops in this camp may only be Jin soldiers!
In the center of this camp, there is a Jurchen red and black army flag and a white general tooth flag, as well as a general recognized flag with the black Jurchen characters. If someone recognizes the Jurchen characters, he will know that this recognized flag belongs to Wanyan Zonghan, the deputy commander of the Left Minister of the Dajin.
The Western Route Army led by Wanyan Zonghan had indeed passed through Taihang Mountain from Feihu Xing and entered the boundary of Hebei West Road in the Song Dynasty!
I don’t know if it was because the weather was too hot or because there was a disgrace in the battlefield in Hedong, and the morale of the Dajin West Route Army who entered the Song Dynasty again seemed a little low. No one in the camp was training under the sun. Most of the real female soldiers who were not on duty found a shaded place to snatch the sun. Only a small number of them were idle and were still wandering in the camp bars with the sun, as if they were waiting for Ali Xi, who was hitting the grass valley, returned home with a full load.
The Dajin West Route Army actually gained a lot in Hedong. When they evacuated from Feihu Xing, everyone was still happy and happy, as if they had made a fortune. Until mid-May, when they were repairing in Yizhou, they suddenly received news that the Eastern Route Army had made a fortune around Kaifeng Prefecture...
Comparing goods requires throwing away, and comparing people requires death!
This golden thief will be more psychologically unbalanced than the golden thief!
The Dajin West Route Army thought they had made a deal, but the Eastern Route Army bumped into the 800,000 imperial guards of the Song State and was tied to Liyang by the Yellow River flood, and they didn't even catch their farts... As a result, the news came, and all the Eastern Route Army made money!
It’s not small wealth, medium wealth, big wealth, but windfall!
Even the least popular Changsheng Army among the Eastern Route Army became rich overnight because of Guo Anguo's surprise attack on Zhongshan Prefecture!
Zhongshan Prefecture is the original Dingzhou! Dingyao is there!
During the Northern Song Dynasty, Jingdezhen, Dingzhou, Cizhou and Junzhou were not the world's porcelain capitals. Among them, the porcelain kilns in Dingzhou were the largest, so there were many wealthy families in Dingzhou. When the Jin soldiers invaded, these wealthy families in the porcelain industry paid for Zhuangwang to raise money, purchased a large amount of food and grass, and urgently strengthened the city. Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang went around the city without conquering Dingzhou... In the original history, the Jin army could not break the Zhongshan Prefecture under the strict defense of the Song people until three years later.
However, Zhao Kai sent Qin Hui to Zhongshan Prefecture and replaced the former prefect Zhan Du (he and Hejian Prefect Chen Gou and Xinde Prefect Liang Yangzu were all transferred to Hedong), but it turned out to be a bad thing... Qin Hui met Zhao Gou! Can you do anything better?
Since Qin Hui arrived at Zhongshan Prefecture, he was determined to achieve the peace. So after learning that the East Jin Army of the Great Jin Dynasty had reached a peace talk with the court, he believed it without reservation. Especially when he knew that one of the two Jin thief generals escorted Zhao Gou to the north was Guo Anguo, he felt even more relieved. Although he didn't know that Liu Tiannu was Guo Tiannu, he knew that Guo Yaoshi Antong Zhao Kai!
So Qin Hui, who was careless, agreed to hand over to Zhao Gou outside a city gate (inside the sheep and horse wall) in Zhongshan Prefecture City. According to Wanyan Zongwang's order, Zhao Gou did not have to go to Heilongjiang to drink the northeast wind, and he was released when he arrived at Zhongshan Prefecture.
After arriving in Zhongshan Prefecture, Han Chang and Guo Anguo released Zhao Liangsi first and asked him to inform Qin Hui to wait for Zhao Gou and Zhao Gou's entourage in the sheep and horse wall outside the south gate of the mansion, and made an appointment for a while.
Qin Hui felt that there was no problem, so he agreed...but he never expected that Guo Anguo had no idea that his father had secretly communicated with Zhao Kai, and he didn't know that his sister had already let Zhao Kai sleep again and again. So he was determined to make contributions so that he could atone for his defeated father.
His way to make contributions was to send the dead soldiers of the Changsheng Army to dress up as Zhao Gou's followers in the city!
Qin Hui, who was neglecting to prevent the situation, took Guo Anguo's words and was the first to be captured alive!
The defenders of Zhongshan Prefecture were mainly civil and Zhuang, and Zhan Du was able to strictly control them when he was in office. However, after Qin Hui took office, the management of the Zhongshan Prefecture's rebel army was relaxed and its combat effectiveness dropped rapidly. When Han Chang and Guo Anguo sent dead soldiers to mingle the city, Min Zhuang, who was responsible for guarding the gate, was actually shocked and dispersed by the dead soldiers of Changsheng Army who suddenly attacked.
After easily seizing a city gate, Han Chang and Guo Anguo's troops were greatly motivated, and the Zhongshan Prefecture, which had lost Qin Hui, was completely in chaos and was soon defeated by the Jin soldiers who flocked in... A good Zhongshan Prefecture city made Han Chang and Guo Anguo cheaper!
The Jin soldiers and Western Route Army who received the news were so jealous and annoyed, and so regretful!
In order to save the Eastern Route Army, they withdrew their troops without even breaking the Taiyuan Prefecture City and did not eat any meat.
And what about the Eastern Route Army?
There is no need to save me...I'm making a fortune!
When the Western Route Army and his group rushed to Dingzhou, they received news that the Eastern Route Army killed the Song Dynasty's official family and returned with a full load.
Is this over?
You are back with a full load? Where are we? We just went back with nothing (actually we also grabbed some)?
"No! You can't just withdraw your troops like this!"
In the tent, Wanyan Zonghan, who was sweating profusely and was so angry that his face turned pale, shouted at Wanyan Talan, who had just arrived at Zhongshan Prefecture with a group of wealth prisoners.
"In order to rescue your Eastern Army, my son and his horse were called Zhao Kai to kill him... If the great revenge is not avenged, how can you retreat and return?"
Wanyan Talai looked at Wanyan Zonghan who was about to be furious and nodded, "Actually, the second prince also felt that Zhao Kai was the biggest threat to my Dajin, and he wanted to get rid of it quickly!"
Wanyan Zongwang then calmed down, "Okay... Then don't retreat. When the weather gets a little colder, go south and kill Zhao Kai!"
Go south?
Wanyan Tailai was stunned, "Deputy Marshal Zuo, isn't he moving westward?"
"No, it's going south!" Wanyan Zonghan gritted his teeth, "Our Western Route Army is going south to Jingdong Road of the State of Song!" Go south to Jingdong?
Wanyan Ta said lazyly: Jingdong Road is on the east side, not on the west side. You can’t catch Zhao Kai when you go to Jingdong Road! There is only Zhao Huan there...
Wanyan Zonghan seemed to see through Talan's thoughts, glared at him and roared: "No? We are going to go to Jingdong Road to catch Zhao Kai. Do you have any objections?"
"No, no objection..." Wanyan Ta's lazy mind was also active, and after a little thought, he understood. Wanyan Zonghan's goal is to make money from Jingdong Road!
His Western Route Army made fewer gains in this southern invasion battle, and everyone was not satisfied!
He had to take everyone to get more, otherwise the people below would be dispersed and it would be hard for this boss to be!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Talan said to Wanyan Zonghan again: "Deputy Marshal Zuo, if you want to go south, our Eastern Army will naturally accompany you... The Second Prince and the Fourth Prince will come north soon. Then, I will ask An Banbojilie to come to Zhongshan Prefecture. Let's plan to attack Song and seize land!"
Wanyan Zonghan glanced at Talai, "What are the second prince's ideas? Let's listen!"
Talan smiled and said, "The second prince's idea is to get his wealth with Zhao Huan, and to attack Zhao Kai to destroy his troops!"
