Chapter 555 Father’s Love Is Like a Mountain

〖The most impressive thing about this battle in Yancheng is that Jin Wushu's handling was actually no problem at all. He made the right decision at the right place and invested the right main force, but he was still defeated in the end. It can only be said that This is the difference between a famous ceiling and a floor.

In ancient times, it was normal to win or lose in battles. In fact, a strong army can be defeated without chaos and dispersion. However, in the cold weapon era, the cost of building a unit like Iron Buddha was too high. After Jin Wushu was defeated, he would probably be so distressed that he would vomit blood.

It feels like Yue Fei has been learning from the Jin army in the past ten years. During the Song-Xia war, it was still "win or lose as soon as you advance", that is, you will win or lose in one rush. When it came to Yue Fei's fight with the Jin, it was "win but don't chase." Defeat without chaos, unite the army at the rear, advance and retreat, persevere and endure." The gap is too big.

It must be so. After all, the Jin army themselves complained that cavalry could not be considered a P if they could not fight for 100 rounds. In the early days, the Jin people probably thought the Song army was papery.

The man is a blood man and the horse is a blood horse. Yue Xiaoye is a heavenly being and can be regarded as one of the most powerful generals in the Song Dynasty.

That is, after all, before this battle, Yue Fei told Yue Yun with sincere words: "If I don't win, I will kill you first!", what does it mean to have a father's love like a mountain? Pin Yipin.

Jin Wushu: It is easy to shake the mountains, but difficult to shake the Yue family's army. I hope everyone knows.

The people in Bianliang Palace were filled with joy.

This matter could only be regarded as an interlude. After Li Shimin finished asking with a smile, he quickly walked to the side and took a few steps on the small sand table there. He quickly restored the scene of the Battle of Yancheng that was just mentioned by later generations.

There is no way, the Song Dynasty is really short of land to raise horses, and judging from the light curtain, if Hebei can be returned to the Song Dynasty, the imperial army must be able to defend Kyoto and cross Hebei, and it must be cavalry.

"When we meet now, even if we fight a hundred times, I can defeat him a hundred times."

One side is a mixed formation of infantry and cavalry, and the other side is a combination of light and heavy cavalry. Therefore, in Li Jing's view, the possibilities for this kind of mentality game are quite limited, and in the end, it still needs to fall into the battle formation:

"If they defeat Tiefu Tu, the Song army will be completely destroyed; if not, the Jin army will be defeated."

Not only Li Shimin, but also the civil servants under his command were very familiar with cavalry, and there was a name for You Yiqi among the cavalry during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, so just by hearing the name, one could already guess a lot about its appearance.

Only Zhao Pu was conscientious and pulled Zhao Kuangyin to explain the need to explore the northwest.

If the Forbidden Army could develop a strong army such as the Wei Army and the You Yi Army, which could withstand heavy cavalry and rush into battle without being defeated, how about the Northern Expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty and the Khitan?

If we encounter the Khitan with such a strong cavalry on our backs, how can we defeat them with our imperial army?

Spreading it on the ground, Zhao Kuangyin looked to the northwest of Song Dynasty, where the six tribes of the Zhebu clan from the remnants of Tubo occupied Liangzhou and blocked the Hexi Corridor.

Empress Changsun pursed her lips and smiled:

"In the past, Chengqian saw that everyone was as silent as a cicada."

"Destroy the Northern Han Dynasty and defend Taiyuan, then march westward, unite with the rebel army and attack the Six Tribes. After three to five years of preparation, we can defeat the Khitans."

Li Jing continued:

"That's why Yue Fei sent out Beiwei's army instead of Youyi's army. This battle situation is just two or two captures, which is nothing new. After all, the battle formation must be fought."

…

Li Jing also stood up and walked over, stared at the military formations on the sand table, pondered for a while and said:

"Yue Fei and General Jin have many strategies to compete with each other."

For Liu Han and others, there is not much to think about. As long as Song and Jin are enemies, it is enough to cheer for defeating a powerful enemy.

In the Manlu Palace, Li Shimin shook his head and laughed at the comments of future generations. Now he naturally would not be angry at such words. Instead, he threw down his pen and turned back to Empress Changsun and laughed:

"Queen, how is Chengqian doing recently?"

Contrary to expectations, Li Shimin really looked at the pictures in the light curtain, thought about it seriously and said:

"If the world is finally settled, I can't say whether I will win or lose."

Li Shimin: Since ancient times, famous generals have been as strict in running their families as they are in running an army, and it is appropriate to say that their father's love is like a mountain.

Li Shimin nodded and looked at the picture on the light screen called the Battle of Yancheng. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that such elite soldiers and generals were fighting against each other. It was heart-pounding.

From the corner of his eye, he also caught sight of Pei Xingjian, who was hesitant to speak. At this moment, he was also quite patient with this general Miaozi, so he asked directly:

"Keeping a promise can be confusing, but let's talk about it."

Li Shimin nodded: "What the pharmacist said is what I think."

Brother, you are wearing Erfeng's vest and saying this... Li Yuan clicked and Li Chengqian clicked.

Erfeng was kind to his son. If you look back and look at the day when Xuanzong killed his three sons, it would be called a father's love like a mountain.

Indeed, father's love in the physical sense is as heavy as a mountain. 〗

"Nowadays, if I don't see you for a day, I will remember you, and I will laugh even more in front of the emperor."

For Li Shimin, the use of cavalry in Jin Wushu can only be said to be acceptable. If they met during the Wude period, their weapons were hundreds of years apart. Although they could win, they would have to fight hard.

Training cavalry is much easier than cultivating good horses. If you want good horses, and there are strong enemies in Hebei, the best way is to focus more on the northwest, which can also weaken the party. What's the point? But not?

In fact, when the officials were just thinking about Yue Fei going north to raid Youyan, Zhao Pu was embarrassed to say:

"Every battle is a situation where the strong will bully the weak and attack the weak. The Jin army should have guessed that Yue Fei would not disengage the infantry and cavalry, so they tricked the cavalry into killing him from the Iron Pagoda."

But now... there are light cavalry, pottery pots, thunder and horses to frighten the enemy. The Xuanjia army is complete, how can they be afraid of you?

Then he held a thin bamboo pole and tapped it on the sand table:

What did not surprise Li Shimin was that Pei Xingjian asked about military strategy, but what surprised him was that the direction of the question was not what he thought:

"Can your majesty defeat the Jin thieves?"

Chu Suiliang felt that this was natural. As a recorder for the past six months, he had seen how your majesty thought about the words and deeds of the prince in Ganlu Palace, and he also combined the views of later generations to give advice and guidance to the prince without any harsh words and harsh rebukes. The prince also wanted to share the worries of the emperor. Recently, he had begun to read books that recorded the rumors in the Western Regions in Hongwenguan.

Now it is difficult to raise horses in the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Gou ran directly to Jiangzuo. Where is the land for raising horses? How many cavalrymen can the Southern Song Dynasty carry out such a surprise attack?

This suggestion made Zhao Kuangyin look serious. He gave an order to the eunuch, and soon the eunuch trotted over a map with the territory and geography marked on it. Now it has been revised a lot according to the scattered maps that appeared in later generations.

Zhao Pu, who was offering advice, had obviously thought about it:

"Although the six tribes are strong, Zhang Yichao, the leader of the Guiyi Army in the former Tang Dynasty, also said that the people of Wenmo enslaved by Tubo were originally Han people who were trapped in Hexi and Longyou. The former Tang Dynasty abandoned them and turned them into tribes. Although the name of Wenmo has gradually disappeared, if the government issues an order to win the hearts of the people, it will be a relief."

For Zhao Kuangyin, the most important thing was to breathe a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also fascinated by the strong confrontation between the Song and Jin armies, and he couldn't help but imagine:

Indeed, to defeat Yue's army, we have to look at the famous anti-Song general Wanyan Gou.

Li Jing immediately wondered if he had been too kind to this apprentice during this period.

Zhao Pu outlined a future that made Zhao Kuangyin quite excited:

"In this way, the world will be united again."
