Wang Xiaolie's original plan was to leave some important places as bait for the Jin army to occupy. When he attacks later, the Jin army will definitely send reinforcements. Then whether it is to encircle the point to reinforce it or to encircle and annihilate it, the war will be easy.

Much more.

The same is true for Jinzhou on Hedong Road in the north, and the same is true for Kaifeng Prefecture in the east. However, due to its own characteristics, the Jin Army is not tempted at all. If the situation is not good, it will withdraw immediately, and will never miss the gains and losses of one city or one place. Liu Yu said

It was better, but he couldn't bear to leave Kaifeng Mansion. Even if Liu Lin's army was completely wiped out, Liu Yu still sent more troops to Kaifeng.

Since the bait doesn't work, it is necessary to change the tactics as soon as possible. Wanyan Yinshu on Hedong Road did not have many troops because there were no strong enemies around. Originally there were only 10,000 people, but after Jiang Min annihilated 3,000, there were only 7,000.

.It is better to take this opportunity to occupy all the state troops in southern Shanxi and point the sword at Taiyuan Prefecture.

Seeing that Wang Xiaolie had made up his mind, Wang Ruohai hurried out to deliver the order.

Wang Xiaolie stood in front of the map, looking at it and thinking about the next situation.

After the great victory in Shaanzhou, Wang Xiaolie still thought of luring the Jin Army deep into the army and then waiting for an opportunity to annihilate a part of the Jin Army. Whether it was in the direction of Shaanxi or Hedong, the troops were relatively conservative and did not take the initiative to attack. After the war, the Jin Army

It retreated much faster than expected, and this idea was probably going to come to nothing.

After Balisu was annihilated, the main force of the Jin army in Shaanxi should retreat soon, leaving no chance of being annihilated by the Song army from east to west. Liu Yu in the east was frightened and would not take the initiative to attack again in the short term.

.Wang Xiaolie’s strategic direction is actually only Hedong Road.

Turning around, Wang Xiaolie walked slowly in the official hall. After a while, he turned around and looked at the map.

In addition to the Chinese army, he now has four divisions in his hands. Li Xing's rear army division has to defend the Xiangyang and Dengzhou areas and cannot move north in a large scale. The only three divisions that can be used are Xie Linong, Cao Zhiyan and Shaoxing. The three divisions have 60,000 people.

Heading north to Hedong Road, the Chinese Army serves as the general reserve force.

Wang Xiao paced back and forth in the official hall, unable to make up his mind for a while.

In the final analysis, he was not ready for a decisive battle with the Jin Army, and his attack on Hedong Road seemed insufficient. If the Jin Army did not go south within two or three years, Wang Xiaolie would definitely have an advantage as its strength increased. If the Jin Army quickly moved south to attack him

, there is danger.

When the Jin army marched south, where was the best battlefield? Wang Xiaolie turned around and looked at Taiyuan Prefecture in the middle of Jin Dynasty.

Enemy troops coming from the north will either go straight to the Central Plains through Hebei, or go to Hedong. The most important place in Hedong is undoubtedly Taiyuan Prefecture.

Looking at Taiyuan Mansion, Wang Xiaolie did not move for a long time.

If the next battlefield is selected to be Taiyuan Prefecture, you have two choices. One is to organize troops to attack Taiyuan Prefecture immediately. The Jin army will not have time to react and is very likely to occupy it quickly. Then the situation between the enemy and us on Hedong Road will be the same as before Jingkang

The appearance. The Yunzhong area to the north is Nianhan’s lair.

, there are many Jin troops. It is very likely that after they occupy Taiyuan Prefecture, the Jin Army will send out heavy troops to attack, and they will be on the defensive. If they do not occupy Taiyuan Prefecture, but only lay out their surroundings, forming a situation of besieging Taiyuan. The Jin Army will attack from Hedong Road.

To go south, we must gather heavy troops in Taiyuan and take the offensive ourselves.

Whether to defend or attack, Wang Xiaolie couldn't make up his mind.

If we attack Taiyuan now, it will be impossible for the Jin army to retreat. It is very likely that they will send out an overwhelming number of troops to fight with themselves on Hedong Road.

Are you ready? Wang Xiaolie shook his head slightly. Whether it was politically or militarily, he was far from ready.

If they don't attack Taiyuan, how will the Jin army respond? Leave it alone? It shouldn't be possible. If they want to attack themselves, how will they attack?

Wang Xiaolie couldn't think clearly for a while and paced back and forth in the official hall.

Wang Ruohai came in, saw Wang Xiaolie's appearance, and asked, "Why is Commander-in-Chief upset?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "After occupying Jinzhou and Longde Prefecture, we will point from both directions to Taiyuan Prefecture, the core of Hedong Road. How should the Jin soldiers respond? I couldn't figure it out for a while. If the army is concentrated in Taiyuan Prefecture,

It would be easy to prepare to go south and fight me decisively."

Wang Ruohai said: "If the Jin army gathers 100,000 troops, it is impossible to go all the way to Taiyuan. It is more likely to go all the way to Jinzhou and all the way to the Dang. Go straight to Zezhou and take Tianjing Pass to threaten Luoyang. Go to Jin.

Those from Shaanxi Province will attack Shaanxi Province and cooperate with the Shaanxi Jin army to attack."

Wang Xiaolie said: "If the troops are divided into two groups, won't they give me a chance to annihilate each one?"

Wang Ruohai smiled and said: "Jie Shuai, the Jin Army will not think that they are so weak. In the battle of Shaanzhou, we actually did not use 40,000 troops and annihilated more than 20,000 Bali Su. But in the eyes of the Jin Army, we are only afraid

That includes our 100,000-strong army. Besides, how can we support a 100,000-strong Jin army if we go all the way to Jinzhou?"

Wang Xiaolie nodded: "You're right. Jinzhou cannot support a hundred thousand Jin army all the way. They must divide their troops to ensure that they don't go hungry on the way."

After saying that, Wang Xiaolie returned to the map. After looking at the map for a while, he said: "As long as we have to divide our troops, it will be easy. It's just a matter of blocking all the way and concentrating our forces to annihilate all the way first. This place, Lengquan Pass, must be sealed.

The road for the dead gold army to go south!"

Wang Ruohai stepped forward and looked at the map and said: "Lengquan Pass is a famous pass in Jinzhong. How many wars have occurred in history! As long as the artillery can be transported across, it is not difficult to hold this pass. It's just that the ancient roads here cannot be used by large vehicles.

, it’s not easy to transport the cannon across.”

Wang Xiaolie said: "Jiang Min took the time to cast iron cannons on his own in the sacred mountain. I heard that most of those iron cannons were scrapped after the first battle. However, he actually won a victory and annihilated three thousand golden troops.

.If the cannon cannot be transported, copper and iron can always be transported, and they are cast there."

Wang Ruohai said: "With the help of artillery, it will not be difficult to defend here."

Wang Xiaolie nodded and said: "Lengquan Pass, it is best to keep us safe for two or three years. In two or three years, we have expanded our army, so we are not afraid of the Jin army going south."

Wang Ruohai said: "Yes, as long as there are two or three more years, we have two armies with more than 200,000 people. Why should we be afraid of the Jin army going south? If they don't go south, we will have to go north to fight them! It's just that the Jin army will go south.

Army, will you give us two or three years?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "As long as we block the Jin army's route to Jinzhou, we are not afraid of them going south."

Wang Ruohai said: "What if the Jin army came from Hebei instead of east of Hedong? Together with Liu Yu's army, it is not difficult to gather 100,000 or 200,000 people."

Wang Xiaolie said: "It's not that easy. Liu Yu lost 30,000 people in this battle, and he still had more than 60,000 troops. To replace these 30,000 troops, how could Liu Yu do it in a short time? The Jin Army

From Hebei, Liu Yu can send up to 50,000 troops, which is not a big problem."

Wang Ruohai said: "Liu Yu doesn't care about fifty thousand soldiers, but what if he adds fifty to sixty thousand Jin troops?"

Wang Xiaolie said: "If there are 50,000 to 60,000 Jin troops, then they should not return to the north."

Wang Ruohai asked: "What if it is a hundred thousand gold army?"

Wang Xiaolie smiled and said: "Consultants, there is no need to worry about this issue. Liu Yu signed all the people in Hebei, and there are not enough people to transport grain and grass to these Jin troops. Coming from Hebei, on the vast plains, the only way for us to annihilate the Jin army is

More than one hundred thousand gold troops, and I don’t care about him!”

Wang Ruohai also laughed: "If Commander Jie is so determined, it won't matter. The maximum strength that the Jin army can gather will not exceed one hundred thousand, so why should we be afraid of him?"
