The lights were brightly lit in the capital marshal's tent, and ten thousand captains. Except for Han Chang who organized food and fodder at Wuren Pass and Marshal Wanyan Misha who led his army to Jingyuan Road, the other eight ten thousand captains gathered in front of a big table.
There was a large map on the big table. Wanyan Yinkeshu pointed at the map and said to everyone: "There should be Chen Qing's spies near us. He knows that our main force is in Yichuan County, so he dared to leave the central part of the country.
The county he chose, Fucheng County, is also a coincidence. It happens to block the official road from Yichuan County to Fangzhou. He can be confident, but I found that there is a loophole in it. "
Wanyan Yinkeshu looked at the crowd, as if she wanted to get a response from them, Wanyan Huonv pointed to Luojiao County: "Our army can go to Luojiao County, and then go south to the central county, and we will be right behind the main force of the Song Army.
"
Wanyan Yinkeshu smiled and nodded, "Although it's a little far away, it is indeed a loophole."
Everyone nodded, and Wanyan Yinkeshu added: "I guess Chen Qing has also thought of this possibility. There should be some troops left in the central county, but it is not important. What is important is the attack. I need an army to break into Guanzhong.
"
Wanyan Yinkeshu asked Wanyan Heshu again: "Marshal Helisa, you have been in Shaanxi for three years, and you should know very well how to break into Guanzhong!"
Wan Yanhe said quickly: "Central County is located in an open area on the west bank of Luoshui. It is actually one mile away from Luoshui. If our cavalry uses the cover of night to move south from the east bank, the defenders of Central County will not notice it.
About a hundred miles south from the central county, there will be two roads. One is to continue along Luoshui into Guanzhong, but there is a dangerous pass at the end, Jinsuoguan; the other is Tongguan Road, which passes through the Shenchuan Grand Canyon.
We will arrive at Tongguan County, then continue south to Fuping County, and we will enter Guanzhong."
"Is Jinsuoguan difficult to attack?"
Wanyan drank and Lisa shook his head and smiled: "Jinsuoguan no longer exists. Chen Qing completely destroyed it when he captured Guanzhong last year. There is no way to restore it in less than a year."
"Where does the Golden Lock go?"
"When you enter Tongzhou, you are only a few dozen miles away from Pujin Pass."
Wanyan Yinkeshu was silent in thought. He actually had no hope in Jingyuan Dao and only had an attitude of success in case of success. However, he also longed for an army to enter Guanzhong, seize Pujin Pass, and recruit thirty thousand soldiers to join the army.
Guanzhong.
Wanyan Yinkeshu paced back and forth with his hands behind his hands. He knew that this opportunity was an adventure and he needed to weigh the pros and cons. The key was that as long as Chen Qing's main force was held back by him, the army could quickly withdraw even if the attack failed.
"Marshal Du, give the order! This opportunity is rare." All the generals petitioned.
Wanyan Yinkeshu nodded and said to Wanyan Jiuli: "I will give you 20,000 Jurchen cavalry to take a detour south from Luojiao County. You can take any of the two roads. You can enter the pass and seize Pujin Pass.
, join up with the 30,000 Xie soldiers, and then attack Jingzhao City. If the situation is abnormal, withdraw immediately, and must not fight with the Song army..."
Wanyan drank and Lisa didn't really want to go, but he didn't dare to disobey the coach's order, so he had no choice but to accept the order, "I humbly obey the order!"
Wanyan Yinkeshu said to everyone again: "The army will set off tonight, Marshal Helisa will also lead the army to set off at the same time, and the army will be mobilized together. The Song Army scouts may not be able to see our intentions."
At the fifth watch, Wanyan Yinkeshu left thousands of men to guard Yichuan County. He led the main force of the army to leave Yichuan County and marched westward for more than ten miles. Wanyan Helisa led 20,000 cavalry to enter.
They took another branch road and headed straight to the northwest official road. The main force of the 80,000-strong army became an army of 60,000.
Tang Qian led his scouts to closely watch every move of the Jin soldiers. At dawn, he sent two trust eagles to fly towards Fucheng County. The eagle slaves would meet the trust eagles in Fucheng County.
Within two hours, Chen Qing got Tang Qian's information. The enemy's main force left Yichuan County and marched along the official road to Yanzhou. Twenty thousand of them went to the northwest road.
Chen Qing sneered and said to the generals: "Wanyan Yinkeshu really found my loophole. He took a detour to Luojiao County and went south, then led the main force to keep an eye on me. He really thought it through."
"Du Tong, what should we do?"
Chen Qing said calmly: "The Jin Bing scouts must also be watching us. I'll just stand still."
After a pause, he said to Yang Zaixing: "Send someone to inform Liu Qiong that he can leave!"
Chen Qing's troops in Fucheng County were actually 70,000, and another 10,000 troops were led by Liu Qiong as a surprise force. They were hiding in a large mountain col about 20 miles away from Fucheng County. There was an old official road next to the mountain col.
The road also leads to Yichuan County.
At noon, when the soldiers had just finished eating their dry food, Liu Qiong received an order from Chen Qing, ordering him to lead his troops and set off immediately.
Liu Qiong immediately led 10,000 cavalry and 1,000 camels towards Yichuan County.
At nightfall, Liu Qiong's army entered Danzhou. When they passed the edge of a grand canyon, they saw in the distance the dots of fire in the canyon, which were piles of bonfires. They unexpectedly encountered the main force of the Jin soldiers.
"Command the entire army to slow down and stop firing!"
Although the distance was still twenty miles, Liu Qiong was still very cautious, fearing to be discovered by the enemy's ranger cavalry. They passed silently over the canyon, passing by tens of thousands of enemy troops.
Liu Qiong's mission was to capture Yichuan County and cut off the food supply to the main force of the Jin army.
The army continued to move north. At noon the next day, it was still thirty miles away from Yichuan County. At this time, Tang Qian led a thousand scout troops to join Liu Qiong. In addition to leaving two scout teams to continue to monitor the enemy's main force, Tang Qian's
Under the order, the other scout teams rushed to Yichuan County.
Liu Qiong ordered the army to rest where they were and set up a marching tent.
In the marching tent, Tang Qian unfolded the map on the table and said: "According to our intelligence, there are about three to four thousand Jurchen troops left behind in Yichuan County. In addition, there are two thousand troops stationed at the entrance of Wuren Road. In order to prevent
The two armies converged, and I suggested to kill the enemy troops at the entrance of Wuren Road first, and then return to attack Yichuan County."
"How far are the two places?" Liu Qiong asked, looking at the map.
"About five miles!"
"I also want to know the defense situation in Yichuan County?"
Tang Qian smiled and said: "The defense is a little looser at night. After all, there are not many people. The golden soldiers are mainly concentrated in the south. There are only dozens of people on the north wall at night. My scout army can take down the north wall and open the north gate for the general."
Liu Qiong was a little worried and said: "But I am worried that the enemy troops will escape from the south city gate and go to notify the main enemy forces. The commander-in-chief wants to delay the news as much as possible."
"This is not difficult. Set up two interceptors outside the south city gate so that the enemy troops cannot escape. Moreover, my scouts will post sentries around to deal with scattered enemy troops that escape."
Liu Qiong discussed the details with Tang Qian again, and the two of them unanimously decided to start at two o'clock tonight and first kill the two thousand garrison at Wuren Pass.
