Chapter 277 Western Army Erwu
Li Yanxian said: "Don't worry, sir! We may not necessarily take down Tiandu Village! It's just that our strength is still a bit dangerous. I want to ask sir to attack and attract Ye Liyuan's attention.
In the eyes of Ye Liyuan, the only person who is worried about the Song Dynasty was the adult. As long as his attention was focused on the adult, the defenses in other places would definitely be weakened, and we could act according to the opportunity."
Qu Duan nodded constantly and said, "Okay! I will lead the army to Huaiyuan tomorrow. It is said that Ye Liyuan is a famous general of Xixia, so I want to meet him well."
Li Yanxian clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your help, please wait for our good news!" After saying that, he and Qu Duan wanted to say goodbye.
Qu Duan suddenly waved his hand and said, "Shaoyan wait a moment. Come, please come General Wu Jie!"
"Yes!" Someone agreed and turned around. After a short while, footsteps sounded outside. A man about 0 years old came in.
When the man saw Qu Duan, he held his fists and bowed, "See sir, I wonder what instructions did you give to Jie?"
Qu Duan laughed and said, "This is my twelfth deputy general in Jingyuan, named Wu Jie. Last year, Xixia attacked Huaide's army, and Wu Jie led more than a hundred cavalry to pursue him and beheaded 146 levels. He was awarded the title of Bingyilang for his merits and was my beloved general. This time, I will let him go back with you and be our liaison officer. What do you think?"
Li Yanxian saw that the relationship between the two was just ordinary. He said that his confidant general was nonsense. Maybe this was a thorn, or Qu Duan deliberately rejected dissidents!
Thinking of this, he didn't point out: "That's great! We are missing military generals like General Wu, so I'm thankful to Lord Qu."
Qu Duan laughed and pointed at Li Yanxian and said, "Wu Jie, let me introduce you to you. This is Li Yanxian, a celebrity from our Jingyuan. He is now the senator of the Marshal of the West Road of Hebei and the commander of Gao Chong by the Divine Guards. This time I asked me to counterattack Xi'an Prefecture. I want you to be the liaison officer of both of us, are you willing?"
Wu Jie knew that Qu Duan had made up his mind and he couldn't agree, so he bowed his fists and said, "Yes! The last general is willing! However, the last general is always with me in the army. I wonder if he can let him go with him this time."
"Wu Lin?" Qu Duan had no impression of this person. In fact, Wu Lin was only 25 years old. In this Song army, which still emphasizes seniority, there was no chance to make a name for himself.
"Okay! I promise you! Go back and clean up quickly and follow Lord Li!"
Only then did Li Yanxian really say goodbye to Qu Duan, and then took the Wu brothers to find Gao Chong.
In fact, Li Yanxian knew that his military rank was the second to last Chengjielang, which was a little worse than Wu Jie's forty-six Bingyilang, but the senator sent him to give him more power before his death.
"Mr. Wu Jie, Lord Qu is highly praised by you. This time I recommend you as the liaison officer of both of us. Lord Qu and I agreed to attack Tiandu Village. What can I teach me if Lord Wu Jie?"
Wu Jie smiled and said, "Mr. Li is really polite. I have probably understood your discussion with Lord Qu. I also agree with Lord. However, as an important pass to block the Xixia and the Song Dynasty, Tiandu Village is high and thick, and it is not easy to capture.
We only have 5,000 men and all cavalrymen. If we want to attack for a strong force, we will definitely reach the sky.
However, our Song Dynasty has occupied Tiandu Village for a long time, and many of our Song people live in it. Moreover, the guardian of Tiandu Village, Li Jicheng, is an official who envies our Song culture. He does not have very strict restrictions on the Song people in the city.
We can disguise ourselves as a dressed person and then take over Tiandu Village in one fell swoop. Also, after taking Tiandu Village, you must take down Tiandu Mountain, otherwise the enemy will be condescending, and it will be difficult for us to defend it."
"Hiss--" Li Yanxian took a deep breath and said, "It's really our luck to get help from Lord Wu Jie. After I go back, I will definitely recommend the two of them to Commander Gao."
"The commander, the senator is back." As soon as Li Yanxian and others came back, someone quickly reported it to Gao Chong.
Gao Chong breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and then led Cao Ning, Yang Zaixing and others out to greet him.
"Yanxian, you are finally back! What trouble did you encounter along the way?" Gao Chong rushed forward and grabbed Li Yanxian's hand.
"I was worried about the commander! The trip was very smooth. We had successfully contacted Lord Qu and agreed to attack Xi'an Prefecture."
Brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin looked at them with some envy. This is the real generals and generals. When will we meet a boss like them?
Li Yanxian flashed to the side and gave up his brothers Wu Jie and Wu Lin and said, "Mr. Commander, this time I went to see Lord Quduan. Not only did I successfully complete the agreement with him to attack Xi'an Prefecture, but I also got two great talents, these two."
Li Yanxian was stunned when he saw Gao Chong, "The commander of the capital, these two are brothers of Wu Jie and Wu Lin, and are willing to be the deputy generals of the Zhenrong Army, but they are all talents of the world. If I compare them with them, it will be like fireflies to the bright moon."
Gao Chong was also stunned. Although these two brothers were not the four generals of the Southern Song Dynasty, their abilities were really no worse than them. It was these two who alone saved Sichuan and broke the Jin army's plan to attack from Jingzhao.
Wu Jie joined the army as a good son before he was crowned in the late Northern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, he fought against the invasion of the Western Xia many times, participated in the suppression of Fang La's uprising, and defeated the "Hebei bandits" and showed his strength in the army.
In the second year of Jianyan (1128), under the order of the commander of the commander Qu Duan, he led the front army to defeat the Jin soldiers at Qingxiling. Later, he was ordered to advance eastward and recovered Huazhou the following year, and killed Shi Bin, the leader of the rebel army of the remaining troops of Song Jiang.
During the Battle of Fuping, Wu Jie led his troops to fight against the Jin Wanyan Zongbi's troops. After the war, he reorganized the remnants and guarded the Monarchy. From the first year of Shaoxing (111) to the fourth year of Shaoxing (114) Wu Jie repeatedly resisted the Jin army in the Battle of Monarchy, Raofeng Pass, and Xianren Pass, and preserved Sichuan. It is said in history that "Weijie was at the brunt of the war, and Shu had not been for a long time."
Compared to his brother, Wu Lin followed his brother Wu Jie to resist Western Xia in the late Northern Song Dynasty and made many military achievements. In the early Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Lin cooperated with his brother to repel the Jin generals in Jianqing Pass, but failed to establish and Ulu, and the army was the same. He also defeated the Jin army repeatedly in Monkyuan, Raofeng Pass, Xianren Pass and other places.
After Wu Jie's death, Wu Lin and three generals including Guo Hao and Yang Zheng worked together to fight against the Jin Dynasty and defend Sichuan. In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), the Jin Kingdom defeated the alliance and invaded the south. Wu Lin strongly advocated defending and sent his general Yao Zhong to defeat a Jin army, allowing the Northwest Song army to return. Then he defeated the three thousand cavalry of the Jin general, Fuleye Langjun, and took advantage of the victory to attack Fufeng, and fought against the Jin army Wanyan Saliyu troops, achieving victory. The following year, he defeated the Jin army Hu Zhan and other troops in Yanjiawan, and recovered Qinzhou and Shaanxi prefectures and counties.
In the 31st year of Shaoxing (1161), the deposed emperor of Jin Wanyan Liang betrayed the alliance and led a large army to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. The Jin army was led south by Tushan Hexi on the western front. Wu Lin rushed to the front line with illness to command the battle. He also contacted the Khitan, Xixia, Shandong, Hebei and other places, and called on all sides to resist the Jin Kingdom. The following year, he used attack as the defense and ordered Yao Zhong, Wang Yan, Huifeng and others to attack in different directions and launch an active offensive against the Jin army on the Western Front, which was stalemate with the Jin army for several months. Wu Lin ordered his son Wu Ting to take charge of the army and defeat the enemy at Wating, and he personally attacked the Deshun army and conquered it. The Song army on the Western Front led by Wu Lin and the Jin army had a victory or defeat and had a long confrontation. It was not until the "Longxing Peace Agreement" was signed that it was withdrawn.
Wu Lin once wrote two articles "The Art of War", which general meaning is: "The Jin people have four strengths, and we have four weaknesses. We should avoid our weaknesses and the strengths of uniforming the Jin people. The four strengths of the Jin people are cavalry, endurance, thick armor, and bows and arrows.
I will collect the strengths of the barbarians (this refers to the Jin army) and the Han people, and use these methods together, using several teams to uniform the Jin cavalry; using the endurance of the Jin army in turns to stop in wartime; using the thick armor worn by the Jin people, use strong bows and crossbows to shoot arrows; using the bows and arrows to uniform the Jin people, use the far to defeat the near, and use the strong to defeat the weak.
The method of setting up a formation is to use infantry as the center and left and right sides of the formation, and cavalry as the left and right ribs, and to arrange the resisting horses (to resist enemy cavalry) between the two ribs. As for the increase or decrease in the number, we must act according to the opportunity during the battle." Later, those who were familiar with military tactics learned from Wu Lin to learn from experience.
The two brothers made outstanding achievements in combat. Later, Emperor Xiaozong of Song Dynasty posthumously named Wu Jie as King of Fu, Wu Lin posthumously appointed him as Grand Tutor, and King Xin was one of the seven kings.
Gao Chong laughed and said, "I have also heard of the name of the two Wus of the Western Army for a long time. I am really lucky to see you today. With the help of you, I am really like a tiger with wings!"
Wu Jie and Wu Lin quickly said a few humble words. Although they were confident that they had some abilities, they were also unknown people in the Western Army. At most, they were emerging and could not enter everyone's vision. This commander is so complimenting to him.
Yang Zaixing and others were very excited. They knew that their commanders had always recognized people accurately. He said that these two people were capable, so they must be really capable.
Li Yanxian was also very happy to see that the person he recommended was valued. He smiled and told Wu Jiexian's plan to seize Tiandu Village.
Gao Chong listened and said deeply: "Okay! What Wu Jie said makes sense. In this way, Wu Jie is more familiar with Tiandu Village than we are. This battle was commanded by Wu Jie. After taking Tiandu Village, I stationed Tiandu Village, and Tiandu Mountain was handed over to Wu Jie and Wu Lin to guard."
"Ah!" The two of them were also stunned. They really didn't expect that they would be treated so much as they came, and they couldn't help but feel dissatisfied with each other. The two of them clasped their fists and bowed: "Thank you for your trust, my brothers dare not die if we don't work hard?"
Gao Chong laughed and said, "You are so kind to you, it's all for the Song Dynasty. Please be sure to work together to show our country's power!"
"Yes! Please rest assured!" Cao Ning, Yang Zaixing and others held their fists together.
