Chapter 53 Drinking at the same table(2/3)

However, this is because Wang Sheng is overthinking, and the statement is just a catalyst. Before that, the atmosphere in Hedong City, which had been besieged for almost a month, had already exceeded his imagination.

First of all, although Wen Dun Sizhong, the city's guardian, was a descendant of Agu Dazhang, he had a fierce personality, was arrogant and cruel, and had a very bad character. He always acted unscrupulously and could not get along well with his subordinates.

Especially after he served as the left-behind guard in Hezhong Prefecture, because he claimed to be a close confidant of the Central Committee, he did not even listen to the greetings from Taiyuan Balisu. However, the ten thousand households he led were originally from the West Route Army, so he and his subordinates also had some problems.

gap.

Of course, if Wen Dunsizhong could grasp this ruthlessness, and the Jin army in the city was a typical Jin country's fierce, secure, and restrained system, they could still be consistent with the outside world. These shortcomings would be shortcomings at best.

However, Wen Dun Sizhong could not stand it. As a descendant of A Gu Zhang, at least his thinking was thorough. From the beginning, Han Shizhong crossed Hedong City and headed eastward. Li Yanxian did not appear at Hedong City at all. At the same time, Wanyan Benjian and Wanyanba

Li Su didn't even give him a word. He instantly realized his predicament and was already a little emotionally broken.

But now, with no sign of reinforcements for nearly a month, as a smart man who is also used to military affairs, he basically believed Wang Sheng’s words outside the city to persuade him to surrender——

The third prince suddenly died of illness, and the entire Song Dynasty was engaged in the Northern Expedition. The Tieling Pass had already been advanced. The reinforcements did not come, but were defeated on the way. The Taiyuan Army Corps Commander Lisu abandoned the river and retreated to both sides of the Fen River.

As a result, the person in the city went from being extremely arrogant and ruthless to the other extreme. He basically drank and ignored all day long, becoming increasingly depressed and waiting for death.

The following is admonishing me, if you are in the mood, just cry and say that you were born under Taizu's tent, and the most important thing is to pay for the Great Jin Kingdom with your life. But if you are not in the mood? Instead, you should ignore the status, whip the person a few times, and then drive the general out.

go out.

But then, the real question arises... If the coach is like this, what do you want the people below to think?

You, Wen Dun Sizhong, was born under A Gu's account, but once you die, what about the others?

The military system and title system of the Jin Army are typical Meng'an Muke system.

Starting from Mouke, regardless of whether it was a Jurchen Mooke or a Mooke from other ethnic groups (there were Han Wanhu and Han Mouke at the time of the founding of the People's Republic of China), they were the backbone of the Jin Kingdom and the real core aristocracy. Even in the Qing Dynasty,

The Manchu and Qing government, which had a strong sense of identification with the Jin Kingdom, often simply translated Mou Ke into Baile.

Its value is evident.

Therefore, as the actual masters of the Great Jin Kingdom, the Mukemen seem to have the obligation and reason to fight to the death. This is also the reason why the city defense has always been stable.

However, the military structure of the Jin army is there. Ten Meng'an per ten thousand households is not bad, but there are often only four, five or six Muke in each Meng'an, and the rest are composed of Han'er troops or infantry composed of other ethnic groups.

This is the traditional tactical need of the Jin Army.

But what are these Han soldiers thinking?

And now, the Black Dragon Wang Sheng outside the city suddenly told them that Zhao Guanjia himself had crossed the river, and his document had arrived. It clearly stated his will and only punished the first culprit. However, the Jurchen masters in the city did not seem to have any intention to refute the authenticity of this document.

, what do you want the Han soldiers to think?

The riot was particularly violent and coordinated. Suddenly, the whole city was on fire. There were sounds of weapons clashing at five or six city gates. The government office, arsenal, money storehouse, and granary were also attacked immediately.

This made Meng'an, the Jin army guarding the military camp, dumbfounded. He didn't know where to rescue him or how to find the rest of his colleagues. In a hurry, he just brought more than a hundred people to look for Wen Dunsizhong.

"What do you want from me?"

Wen Dun Sizhong didn't drink alcohol today. Not only that, but his sunken eye sockets actually shone brightly and his mind was clear. This made the golden general who came here overjoyed for a moment.

But soon, the golden general realized the problem... It was like this outside. Meng An, the guard on duty, came to the city to find someone to stay behind, and the other party actually asked him what he was doing. Could it be that he had been drunk and lost his mind?

At this thought, General Jin responded carefully: "Stay behind...the Han'er army in the city is causing chaos."

"So what do you want from me?" Wen Dunsizhong, wearing a brocade coat and sitting in the state hall, raised the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, then asked calmly.

"The rebellion is too imminent. I don't know how to deal with it. I'm here to ask you to stay behind for advice." General Jin finally couldn't bear it anymore. "If you stay behind and don't take action, the Song army outside the city will react. If the city gate is opened at any time, we will have no results.

Already..."

"I know." Wen Dunsizhong took a sip of warm tea, sighed slightly, and then responded calmly. "I remember that you were born as a Nianhan guard?"

"yes……"

"Think about it, if not for this, how could you be driven here to be my subordinate?"

"Stay behind..."

"I am from the same background as you." The fire outside was swaying and the noise was constant, but Wen Dun Sizhong just didn't take it seriously. "But I was born under Taizu's tent, so I can stay and lead thousands of households. If the Song Dynasty people don't attack

Come on, in the future you will not be able to be a prime minister, but you can only be a fierce security officer."

"..."

"Taizu's talent is ten times that of Nianhan." Wen Dunsizhong looked at the other person with a complicated and confused expression and looked at him seriously. "Thanks to this, my talent is ten times that of yours."

Na Meng'an came back to his senses, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, but turned to look at the fire outside, and looked at Wen Dun Sizhong again, but he only wished he could kill this man.

"If you don't believe it, I'll give you some advice." Wen Dun Sizhong was still calm when he saw this. "On that day, His Highness the Second Prince, Yi Libu, was going to lead the army. Before leaving, he asked Taizu for advice on how to be a general. I was by his side at that time.

…”

"Stay behind!" The golden general had no choice but to smile bitterly. "After listening to what you say, can I ask you to go out and quell the chaos with me?"

"Then who knows?" Wen Dunsizhonghun said nonchalantly. "Maybe, maybe not."

Without saying a word, the golden general took off his pocket, sat down opposite him, and then poured himself a cup of tea.

Wen Dun Sizhong also laughed when he saw this: "Nianhan does have some skills after all. It's not in vain that you have studied with him for a long time."

General Jin picked up the tea, drank several sips, and then asked: "May I ask how Taizu taught the second prince?"

Hearing this, Wen Dunsizhong also seemed to be serious: "Taizu said that to be a general, you must first be diligent. If you are not diligent, you will not be able to do anything well... When you set up camp in a place, you must know where your troops are and what is around you.

What is the terrain like, how many roads there are, where to place checkpoints, where to store food, weapons and equipment... Only in this way can we have a clear mind when we are suddenly attacked at night, know where to look for troops, know where not to lose them, and know the enemy troops.

Where you come from, you know how to deal with it.”

The Jin general was still sneering when he heard it from the front, but he gradually became serious when he heard it from behind.

"Just like now." Wen Dunsizhong raised his hand and pointed to the outside where the fire was blazing. "Hedong City has a total of six gates, four warehouses, one government office, one county office, two left-behind company offices, and three military camps. In addition to the six gates,

On average, the rest are all to the east, and are under the strong guard of our goddess... This is why you don't know how to save or where to save... But if I come to cause trouble, I must divide my troops and set fire to it at night.

Pretend to attack these key points in the east, and then secretly concentrate the elite on the two farthest west gates, ignore everything, seize the gate directly, open the door, and lead the Song army into the city..."

General Jin felt his heart drop and blurted out: "So, by the time I knew about the rebellion in the military camp, it was already too late?"

"With such a big city, it must be too late." Wen Dunsizhong shook his head in response. "You will know if you think about it, the strength of the Han's army is comparable to that of the Jurchens, and there is Wang Sheng's tens of thousands of troops outside. How can we stop them if they intend to cause chaos? The only one

I'm afraid this is where you can make a difference, because there must be a small number of people in the Han'er army who want to continue to be employed by the Song people. They will inevitably think about the government office and prepare to capture me in exchange for credit. However,

, this kind of people must be in the minority, they don’t dare to interfere in the discussion, they will only secretly gather together after the chaos breaks out, and come to look for me again. And if this was the case, you would have bumped into me by mistake. "

As soon as he finished speaking, as if confirming Wen Dunsizhong's words, the Jin army outside suddenly shouted, and the sound of swords and soldiers rang outside the government office.

The Jin general stood up for a moment, but then sat down slumped, turning to look at Wen Dun Sizhong: "May I ask Liu Bei... what else did Taizu teach the second prince?"

"Taizu also said that a general must understand the true intentions of his superiors as well as the surrounding situation." At this point, Wen Dun Sizhong finally burst into laughter. "Taizu also praised me at that time, saying that I was the one who best understood his true intentions.

, that’s why he became his messenger to deliver military orders... Do you know? Some military generals in our Kingdom of Jin are really stupid. He went to attack whichever city Taizu ordered him to attack, and ended up conquering the city.

, but allowed the Liao army in the city to escape... As everyone knows, Taizu's original intention was for him to trap the Liao army in the city and prevent the Liao army from escaping."

"That's true."

"This has been made clear. In fact, we need to know why we want to fight." Wen Dunsizhong continued to sigh. "Why did we fight Hedian? It was because Dajin wanted to establish a country! Why did we ignore the danger, storm the pass, and invade Xijing? Because we wanted to destroy it.

The Liao Dynasty seized the land to establish its foundation! Why did they go south to fight the Song people? Because Nianhan failed to win the position of king and wanted to go south to expand his power. However, the king and the princes had no choice but to rush to send troops to divide the situation...

...So, the second prince was so impatient when he marched into Hebei, and Nianhan simply abandoned Taiyuan, locked the city and went south... But at that time, how could he have imagined that Tokyo City was so rich? The Song people were so cowardly

?”

"I never expected that Song people are so tough now." Jin Jiang sighed helplessly.

"It's not that the people of the Song Dynasty are tough." Wen Dunsizhong shook his head and said. "I've thought about it too. It's more that we are useless... What day was it back then and what day is it now? It's normal to enjoy it. The people of the Song Dynasty are so cowardly, so we naturally

They will also be cowardly. Taizu did the right thing back then. He sold the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty and everyone was safe. It was Nianhan who ruined the overall situation of the Jin Kingdom for his own selfishness. It's hateful. I didn't get that share at that time.

Pandadu's sons and daughters of gold and silver actually doubted Taizu's vision for a time, and it was not until today that they fell into death that they realized Taizu's wisdom again."

"..."

"Then let's talk about the outside world." Wen Dunsizhong continued to pour himself a cup of tea, but actually took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the other party, and then said calmly. "Why didn't I move today? Why had I been drunk and depressed before? No.

Because I was not loyal to the Kingdom of Jin, but I already knew at that time... The Kingdom of Jin wanted me to sit here, and it also wanted you to sit here, trying to hold off the Song Army brigade and delaying it as long as possible.

But now that reinforcements are no longer possible, the higher ups have another idea... Do you know what it is?"

The golden general felt sad for a moment: "They want us to die... drag as many people as possible before we die."

"But they don't know that I lost half of my troops as soon as I started to fight, and I can't delay it even if I want to." Wen Dun Sizhong finally calmed down. "In fact, Taizu also taught the second prince that day, saying that as a general, you must know how to understand

Unite the subordinates and make the superior and the subordinate one... I have never learned this at all, otherwise, even today I would not be able to do anything."

"Is it really hopeless?" Jin Jiang smiled bitterly.

"It's really hopeless." Wen Dunsizhong said sternly. "Let me ask you one more thing. Have you ever thought about why we didn't even hear about these Han soldiers once they started to gain momentum?"

"Is it because... we don't treat them as individuals?" Jin Jiang smiled more and more bitterly. "There are just a few walls between the two sides?"

"Exactly, but it's more than that." Wen Dunsizhong's eyes wandered. "I've also been thinking these days, it's not just the Jurchen soldiers who don't regard the Han'er Army as individuals? In the Kingdom of Jin, isn't there a gap between the nearby clan and the distant clan?

?Otherwise, how could Nianhan pull up the West Route Army? Under the Jurchens, the Bohai people are slightly higher than the Khitan and Xi people, and the Khitan and Xi people are stronger than the Yanyun Han people, and the Yanyun Han people

And they look down on the Han'er of Lianghe, level by level. But if the Han'er are treated as slaves, why use them? If they are used, why should they be used as slaves?"

"That's not what Liushou usually says." The Jin general shook his head.
