The water divides north and south, and the Central Plains qi is complete. Clouds and mountains connect Jinland, and smoke trees enter Qinchuan.

This is the feeling of future generations on the Yellow River's desire for Fenglingdu.

Fenglingdu is located southeast of Hezhong Prefecture and is less than a hundred miles away. It is the junction of Guanzhong, Hedong and Henan, and is also one of the largest ferry crossings of the Yellow River.

In early August, Di Lie and senior generals and staff from various divisions led 500 guards to the battalion, and quickly drove fast for half a day, and came from Hezhong Prefecture to Fengling Ferry.

At first glance, the mountains on both sides were low and flat, and the river surface was as wide as a belt. It rushed from Hukou and went down the rapids of the Yellow River. At this point, it turned out to be unruly and became calm and calm. It was precisely because of this rare calm flow,

This made Fengling Duo one of the most suitable ferries in the Yellow River.

At this moment, there were continuous camps on the east bank of the Yellow River, and there were seven medium-sized ferry boats moored at Fengling Ferry. Hundreds of days of killing soldiers kept shuttled along the shore of the ship, busy. The soldiers wearing armor were adapting to the feeling of being on the ship.

The armorless soldiers were the auxiliary soldiers who were carrying the materials from the shore one by one onto the passenger ship.

Of course, Lou Shi and Olu would not be so kind, leaving seven ferries that could accommodate 2 or 30 people, allowing the Tianzhu Army to cross the river. It was really that Zhang Xian's cavalry regiment appeared too suddenly, and he retreated from Hedong.

Too many defeated soldiers, fighting for ships, resulting in delays in retreat. As a result, as soon as a thousand cavalry of the Tianzhu army appeared, the defeated Jin army was dispersed, and seven ferries were seized. It was precisely because of these seven ships that the Tianzhu army had

Crossing the river is possible.

When Wanyan Loushi attacked the Jingzhao Prefecture of the Song army, he was also blocked by the Yellow River. Later, when the Yellow River freezes, he stepped on the ice from the upper reaches, attacked Tongzhou, and took straight to Chang'an.

Today, the Zhu army was approaching the Yellow River, but we saw the torrents and freezing, so we waited for another four months. How could the Tianzhu army wait for four months? We wouldn't even wait for forty days.

Confirm that the Tianzhu Army will land at Fenglingdu, and the Jin army also sent a large army to station in Guanxi Town, Huayin County, 20 miles away from the Hexi Dukou, ready to block the Tianzhu, who has not yet established a stable foothold after landing.

The army attacked head-on. At this time, Fengling crossed the west bank, and Jin army whistle cavalry could be seen from time to time. They were shuttled back and forth, closely following the every move of the army on the east coast.

Whether it is the seriously ill Loushi or the powerful Olu, they are sure that only seven ferries can transport at most 200 soldiers at a time. If the Tianzhu Army forcibly transports troops to land, it will form the most popular defense party.

The "greasing tactic" will be driven down the river as much as you go ashore. I believe that the Yellow River carp will definitely be very fat this year.

Di Lie was sitting upright on a big rock by the river beach, asking in detail about the local people who had just found, the weather, hydrology and other conditions in previous years.

At this time, a guard came to report: "Report to the military leader, someone who claimed to be the commander of the military capital of Shanzhou, Shao Xing, asked for a visit."

Shanzhou is not far from Fenglingdu. It is only a hundred miles away on the other side of the Yellow River. If you go closer from Jiezhou, it is less than a hundred miles.

Shanzhou was originally in the hands of the Jin army. At the beginning of last year, Li Yanxian, the former Shihaowei of Shaanxi Province, led 3,000 rebels to retake it. Later, Li Yanxian was promoted to Wu Jielang in the Jianyan Dynasty, and the clerk of Xuanzan's house, and the governor of Shaanxi Province.

It became a big nail that Jianyan Dynasty was nailed between Henan and Guanzhong. At that time, only Shanzhou was in the hands of Jianyan Dynasty, and the rest were occupied by the Jin people.

Jinxi Road Army repeatedly wanted to remove this nail. In the winter of Jianyan, Lou Shi was defeated and Wulu returned to defense. He sent his general Meng'an Wulu to retreat and led thousands of troops to fight against Li Yanxian under the city of Shanzhou.

Seven days. The result was that the soldiers were lost and the generals were defeated and the result was no success.

Li Yanxian was promoted to the military doctor and the sacrificial envoy of Shanzhou. He was personally given a robe, a belt, a gun, and a sword. The emperor's grace was so great. With Li Yanxian's gratitude, he stepped up the construction of the city wall, digging deep into the moat, expanding his military facilities, and vigorously garrisoned the land.

He also moved his family to Shanzhou, saying that he would "sacrifice his family and die with the city."

Di Lie knew about Li Yanxian and Shanzhou. After all, this kind of feat of being enemies on all sides and sticking to the "isolated island" was not found in the entire Southern Dynasty. Di Lie admired Li Yanxian's unyielding resistance, but this

People's political tendencies are obviously royalists, so Di Lie stayed away from them and did not intend to have any intersection with him, so as to avoid conflicts, not killing the matter, and killing is ominous.

Unexpectedly, this man came to the door. Well, it is not surprising that the Jinxi Road Army retreated, and Li Yanxian's Shaanxi Province finally moved away from the mountains that had been pressing on his head for many years. How could this top-notch event be avoided

Attention was 120,000. As soon as the Tianzhu Army wanted to cross the river and attack the enemy spread to Shaanxi Province, Li Yanxian immediately sent his general Shao Xing to contact him.

Shao Xing is not an ordinary person. This person is from Yuncheng, Hedong. He has the courage and can recite poems. In this era, he can be considered both civil and military. After the Jin army captured Hedong, Shao Xing fled to Shenji Mountain and summoned refugees.

He became a leader of the rebel army. Later, he heard of Li Yanxian's feat, so he led the crowd to join him and together with his brother Shao Yun, he became Li Yanxian's right-hand man.

In the staff group that Di Lie accompanied, there were special intelligence staff from the Intelligence Department, who provided various information at any time. Of course, Shao Xing's intelligence also had. After Di Lie got a general understanding, he ordered the general to come.

Shao Xing led a cavalry team of twenty people. The Shanzhou Army had a cavalry team of hundreds of people. The horses all came from Li Yanxian who defeated Shanzhou and stationed in Zhongtiao Mountain. He once defeated the 50th fortress of the Jin army.

The past glorious achievements of capturing three hundred war horses.

Shao Xing was about thirty years old, with a Chinese face, thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, and a neat beard. It can be seen that he is a good person who has a good background and pays attention to appearance.

After the two sides met, Shao Xing was so surprised that he was so proud that he dominated Hedong and even beat Lou Shi. The Tianzhu Army leader who fled west in a hurry was so young? Then all this, he was

How to do it?

Both sides admire each other for a long time (this is not a politeness, both sides have a great reputation). Shao Xing praised the Tianzhu Army's July offensive and was even more envious of the Tianzhu Army's tens of thousands of troops. He frequently asked about the Tianzhu Army's question.

How to expand to this point, how to achieve this, is the battle of Liaozhou that was rumored last year true...

Di Lie, who was busy with military affairs, had time to popularize the history of the Tianzhu Army development with the other party. Just send a staff officer to do this. He didn't have time to go around in circles and asked directly: "Shao Jinqing (Shao Xing) came here this time.

, I wonder what you can do to teach me?”

Shao Xing was slightly disappointed, but he thought that there was still some serious matters, so Shao Xing dared not neglect and bowed: "The Northern Barbarians are the public enemy of the world, but those who attacked the thieves do not distinguish between the north and the south, and they are all from our Shanzhou army.

You. Xing followed the order of Fu Zheng and told the Di army leader that the Jin army was prepared. The Jin army was already prepared. In the Guanxi Town of Hexi, there were three thousand elite soldiers led by the Jin general Ulu. Among them were 300 cavalry, all of which were

For the elite army of the Olu army, they waited for the army to cross half of the crossing. Moreover, it was inappropriate to cross the river in August. On that day, this bandit in Loushi attacked Jingzhao Prefecture, which was also blocked by the Yellow River. It was only after the Yellow River was frozen that it could step on the ice

And because of this, our Shanzhou army is willing to help your army with one hand."

Di Lie was quite interested: "Okay, how can Li Fushuai help me? Could it be that you have a large number of ships in Shanzhou?"

Shao Xing shook his head: "Although there are some ships in Shanzhou, the number of ships is small and small, which is useless to the overall situation. I want to ease the general. I want your army to cross the river from Shanzhou and attack by land. At that time, our army is willing to help and attack Jin together.

thief."

From a geographical point of view, after crossing the Yellow River east from the direction of Shanzhou, you can indeed attack the right wing of the Jin army by land, eliminating the high difficulty, high risk and low success rate of beach landing war. However, just like Wanyan Loushi that day

He would rather wait for the Yellow River to freeze than go around Shanzhou to attack the Song army, and Di Lie would not want to do this.

Crossing the river from Shanzhou is indeed safe, but the bigger problem is that there are two difficulties in attacking Jingzhao Prefecture from Shanzhou: Hangu Pass and Tongguan.

Hangu Pass has been abolished for many years and has been disrepaired for many years. Even if Jin soldiers guard it, it is possible to seize it if it is attacked for a strong attack, but Tongguan is very different. It is a dangerous pass in the world. Although Tongguan at this time is far from being compared with the Sui and Tang Dynasties,

But it can still be called a strict barrier. If you want to break through such a dangerous obstacle, how many people will die?

Di Lie tried his best to ask Shao Xing calmly: "How to break Tongguan? Do you have any inner support?"

Shao Xing shook his head honestly: "No...but your army has an army of 20,000, and our army has 8,000. Leave the troops guarding the city, and at least 25,000 troops can be combined. The enemy in Tongguan is only 2,000...

”

The Tianzhu Army distributed in Hezhong Prefecture, Jiezhou, Yishi and along the Yellow River actually had nearly 40,000 troops, and the Tianzhu Army also had 40,000 banners. However, in this era, there were basically no troops, even at that time.

The honest Jin army in this regard also learned to exaggerate from the Liao and Song armies. The usual practice was to double, and the Song army was even more serious in this regard, sometimes several times.

Shao Xing used the conventional military force conversion algorithm to give the Tianzhu Army a half-fold, setting it to 20,000. However, he was still honest, and the number of troops reported by Shanzhou was real.

Di Lie was too lazy to clarify, afraid that the other party would not believe it, so he asked only one question: "I have never seen the terrain of Tongguan in real time, but Jin Qing must have seen it. According to what Jin Qing saw, it would be like 25,000 troops.

How many casualties will be killed or injured when two thousand soldiers are stationed in Tongguan?”

Shao Xing thought for a while and replied cautiously: "If the command is appropriate, the soldiers will use their lives, have sufficient soldiers and armor, and have in place, or they may lose 20% of the troops and break Tongguan."

Two percent of the troops are five thousand. This is not called war, but rather a person’s life.

Di Lie flatly refused: "Thousands of casualties and injuries, your army's plan is not feasible. Thank you for your kindness. Our army will cross the Yellow River by itself."

Shao Xing was very anxious: "Now that the Jin army is defeated and its morale is low, so it is possible to only lose 20% of its troops to break through Tongguan. If it is a daily life, even if there are tens of thousands of casualties and injuries, it will be difficult to break through the pass and enter... Di Army Master,

Don't miss it! If the Yellow River is frozen, the Jin army will definitely recover. The Jin army on the east side will also come to help. Such a great situation is lost and the opportunity is missed, and I regret it too much!"

Di Lie stared at him: "Who said our army will wait until December? I will force cross the Yellow River tomorrow!"

Shao Xing almost shouted: "Crossing the river in August? There are only seven ferries? It is so hasty that it must be a defeat..."

He Yuanqing, who was standing aside, had been unhappy for a long time. When he heard this, he was furious and shouted: "You are so unreasonable. You dare to disturb the morale of the army. You even curse our army and ask the army leader to order this person to be taken down!"

When he heard He Yuanqing's tone was not good, the twenty cavalry brought by Shao Xing immediately took over the war horses and pulled out knives, axes and bows from the saddle. The Tianzhu Army Guard Battalion had already run out of a hundred cavalry and surrounded them all.

A hawk-billed gun aimed at the cavalry of the Shanzhou army.

These Shanzhou cavalry did not know how powerful the short steel rod was, but they were not afraid. They were surrounded by ten times the enemy and were inevitably worried.

Shao Xing was very anxious and quickly ordered his guards to take back their weapons and solemnly accused the soldiers of the Tianzhu Army headed by Di Lie.

In ancient times, when troops were sent to fight, the most serious signs were the most important. Sometimes, before the army was opened, the flag was suddenly blown by the strong wind, and it was regarded as a bad sign. As a result, a battle that consumed countless manpower, material resources and financial resources was destroyed. As a mission,

If you speak rudely, you will lose the curse. It is indeed rude. Shao Xing was in a hurry to speak out, and knew that something was wrong, so he hurriedly apologized.

Di Lie waved his hand and let the guards disperse and return to their positions. Then he said to Shao Xing peacefully: "The so-called interception of the Jin army is nothing more than taking advantage of the fact that our soldiers crossed the Yellow River in batches, and they just came down from the ferry and stood up.

Before I could stabilize, I forced the front army into the river before crossing the river. Am I right?"

Shao Xing focused on it: "With the strength of Lou Shi and the bravery of the Jin thieves on that day, he did not dare to use a small number of scattered troops to fight against our Jingzhao Prefecture Army on the other side. This is called attacking halfway through, which is a big taboo in using troops.

.”

Di Lie laughed: "The Jin army blocked me on the river beach, which was called a half-crossing attack; I attacked the Jin army on the river bank, which was called a landing landing. Everyone can play military tactics, just see who can play."
