Chapter nine hundred and sixth
After the Jin soldiers suffered a crushing defeat in attacking Taiyuan on the first day of the first lunar month, Wanyan Xie immediately ordered Taiyuan Prefecture to suspend the attack on Taiyuan. He ordered Wanyan Jiemu to lead 20,000 troops to Taiyuan, in exchange for Wanyan Zongbi.
Wanyan Xie also temporarily gave up the attack on Taiyuan, but concentrated his troops to attack the two routes of Jingdong. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zong Ze pretended to be defeated in Puzhou. Wanyan Zongwang led his army to chase him. Zong Ze ordered the general Kong Yanwei to lead 5,000 troops to pass by the Yellow River to sneak attack the important logistics area of the Jin soldiers in Kaide Prefecture, killing more than 10,000 enemies and burning countless food and supplies. Wanyan Zongwang returned to the army in a frightened manner, and was led by Zong Ze to take advantage of the situation to chase and defeat the Jin soldiers and kill nearly 20,000 enemies.
Zong Ze led a 40,000 army to win consecutive victories in Jingdong and regained Xuzhou, Haizhou, Shanzhou and Yingtianfu. The morale of the Jin soldiers was sluggish, and the Jin soldiers could not conquer Taiyuan repeatedly, Wanyan Xie was also worried and had the idea of giving up this southern attack.
In the big tent, Wanyan Xie also frowned at the map. One of Li Yanqing and the other of Zong Ze actually became two obstacles for his strategy of moving south. Can't he really pass this level?
After a long time, he sighed and asked Liang Fangping, "Sir, let me tell you, how should I break this deadlock now?"
Liang Fangping was silent for a moment and said: "Li Yanqing and Zong Ze are both wise generals, who win with strategy. However, Zong Wang's general is fierce and fierce, but his strategy is slightly inferior. His humble position is still the same as before. To break this situation, he has to start with strategy. Everyone has their own weaknesses, and they are handsome and can only gain something if they attack their weaknesses."
"Then where are their weaknesses?"
"Master General, Li Yanqing's weakness lies in Jingzhao Mansion. As long as Jingzhao Mansion is in danger, Li Yanqing will not be able to stay in Taiyuan Mansion for a long time. At least he will evacuate Taiyuan. Without Li Yanqing, Taiyuan is like losing its soul. Sooner or later, it will be captured by us. As for Zong Ze, in fact, he has been planning before, so why did he give up later?"
Wanyan Xie was also slightly stunned. He thought for a while and blurted out: "Sir, are you talking about Du Chong?"
Liang Fangping smiled and said, "It is this person. Zong Ze and Li Yanqing are different. Zong Ze's status in the Song Dynasty is far inferior to Li Yanqing. Without the transcendent and independent status of Li Yanqing, no court officials dares to criticize Li Yanqing, but Zong Ze is different. His mortal enemy is Du Chong. Du Chong has a deep connection in the court. Du Chong can completely suppress Zong Ze through the connection in the court. As long as we create conditions for Du Chong and promise him that he is profitable and trust that Zong Ze will be destroyed in Du Chong's hands."
Wanyan Xie also sneered: "This is what the Song Dynasty said that civil officials ruined the country. They only care about the struggle for power, only care about their own interests, but ignore the life and death of the country."
"Isn't this what everyone is looking forward to?"
Wanyan Xie also shook his head, "This is what the Jin Kingdom needs, but it may not be for me. I personally like to deal with some loyal and brave ministers. Only when the sea flows through, will the hero themselves be seen, otherwise I would be too lonely in my life."
Liang Fangping showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and it was a little difficult to continue talking. Wanyan Xie immediately realized that he had accidentally injured the staff member in front of him, and smiled and said, "Sir, no longer is Song Chen, so naturally I am not among the ones I talk about."
"Thank you Du Shuai for understanding. There is another suggestion for Bei Zhi. Please consider it. But this should not be the scope of my suggestion."
"Sir, even if I speak freely, I will consider it."
"It is recommended to use Zong Bi instead of Zong Wang in the humble position."
Wanyan Xie also walked a few steps with his hands behind his back, pondered for a moment, and turned around and asked, "Tell me your reasons!"
"Actually, I have said just now that General Zong Wang is fierce and fierce, but his strategy is slightly inferior. It takes a general to break this situation. Bei Zhi thinks General Zong Bi is more suitable."
Of course, Liang Fangping would not forget that Wanyan Zongwang was once rude to him. At the critical moment, he didn't mind stabbing Wanyan Zongwang in the back.
Wanyan Xie nodded, "Actually, what Mr. said makes sense. In terms of strategy, Zong Wang is to be inferior to Zong Bi. OK! Just follow Mr.’s advice and change Zong Bi as the main general."
Wanyan Xie also ordered: "Let Zongbi come to see me!"
Soon, Wanyan Zongbi hurried to the tent. He had been back and forth from Taiyuan for a few days and was in a bad mood. He had only experienced a battle in Taiyuan and changed his generals, which made him extremely frustrated. He still felt that Marshal Du was prejudiced against him. Wanyan Chang had lost many times, but he didn't change him. He had to change his generals when he encountered setbacks. This was too unfair to him.
"See Marshal Du!" Wanyan Zongbi stepped forward and bowed.
Wanyan Xie also looked at him and asked, "What advice do you have to deal with Zong Ze?"
Wanyan Zongbi was stunned. He didn't expect that it would be the problem. Of course, he had thought about it, but Marshal Du asked too suddenly, which made him unprepared for the moment.
Wanyan Zongbi pondered and said, "Bizhi thinks we should make a targeted layout and fully guard against Zong Ze's advantages."
Wanyan Xie was also a little interested and asked again: "Then what do you think Zong Ze's advantage lies?"
"Bizhi believes that Zong Ze's advantage lies in his ability to seize every opportunity, intersperse and make use of various terrains. This was originally the advantage of the cavalry, but Zong Ze fully utilized it."
"What should you do if you are the main general?" Wanyan Xie continued to ask.
"If it is a general of Beishi, Beishi will not give him the opportunity to defeat each other. With infantry as the main force, step by step, and cavalry as branches, Zong Ze's army can go around the infantry, but cannot go around the cavalry. Beishi thinks that Zong Ze will have no choice but to fight like this."
Wanyan Xie also nodded slowly, "From now on, you will take over Zong Wang as the leader of the Central Plains."
At night, Liang Fangping sat alone in his big tent and drank for a drink. After so many years of surrender to the Jin Kingdom, he had been drinking milk wine that was not as strong as the Jin people. He still liked to drink Qingji rice wine, which tasted sweeter and longer.
Liang Fangping picked up a glass of wine and drank it all. He felt particularly happy when he thought that he suggested to replace Zong Wang with Zong Bi today and avenge Wanyan Zong Wang's rudeness to him.
Although Liang Fangping was highly valued by Wanyan Xie, he also knew that he might not have a high position in Wanyan Xie's heart. Thinking of what Wanyan Xie said today, he felt really uncomfortable. Could it be that he was a traitor in Wanyan Xie's heart?
At this time, Liang Fangping suddenly felt a cold wind. When he looked up, he saw Wanyan Zongwang standing in front of the tent and looking at him coldly.
"So it's General Zong Wang, a rare guest! a rare guest!"
Liang Fangping quickly stood up to salute, Wanyan Zongwang snorted coldly and asked, "Why do you think I am a brave but not a resourceful general?"
Liang Fangping's heart skipped a beat. He knew something was going to be a bad thing. He quickly smiled and said, "Why did General Zong Wang say this?"
Wanyan Zongwang took a step forward, and a strong smell of alcohol came over her face, which made Liang Fangping take two steps back, "General Zongwang, you have drunk too much."
"I was drunk too much, and I was actually removed from the position of the commander general of the Nanzheng. Do you know what this means? It means that I will be eliminated from the position of the commander general, and Zong Bi replaced me. Just because of Liang Fangping's words, Zong Bi is a wise general, but I am Wanyan Zong Wang, but my status is not. As a result, my status is deprived. You are so powerful! Just a Han dog, he can dominate my destiny."
Wanyan Zongwang said, and took a step, forcing Liang Fangping to the foot of the tent. Liang Fangping was so shocked that his face turned pale and could not speak. After a while, he reluctantly said: "I am a public opinion!"
It would be fine if he didn't say this, but this sentence immediately made Wanyan Zongwang furious. Wanyan grabbed his neck and yelled: "How dare you say that you are a public opinion? You are obviously a despicable villain. You can shoot my hidden arrows behind you. You are handsome and praise your right-hand man. I will break his right-hand man today!"
Wanyan Zongwang felt extremely hatred, and grabbed Liang Fangping's thin left shoulder and pinched it hard. With a "crack!", the left shoulder bone was immediately crushed.
Liang Fangping screamed in pain. He grabbed it casually and caught a pure gold dagger with gems inlaid. This was Zhao Ji's dagger. It fell into Wanyan Xiye's hand and was rewarded with Liang Fangping. Liang Fangping saw the other party grabbing it to his right shoulder again. In desperation, he threw off the scabbard and stabbed Wanyan Zongwang hard. This knife was stabbing Wanyan Zongwang in the stomach.
Wanyan Zongwang felt a sharp pain. He slowly lowered his head and looked at the dagger on his stomach incredibly. His eyes suddenly widened and he said viciously: "You actually want to kill me!"
He grabbed Liang Fangping's neck, and Liang Fangping's mind was blank. A subconscious mind told him that only by killing Wanyan Zongwang could he survive. He instinctively pulled out the dagger and stabbed Wanyan Zongwang into Wanyan Zongwang's stomach with another knife, but there was no chance of the third knife. Wanyan Zongwang roared angrily and suddenly broke Liang Fangping's neck. Liang Fangping died on the spot.
Wanyan Zongwang threw away the body and sat down weakly. He fainted in front of him. At this moment, a rapid sound of running came from outside. Wanyan Xie also rushed into the tent with more than a dozen people. Liang Fangping's personal soldiers ran to report the message to ask for help. When Wanyan Xie also arrived, it was too late, one was dead and one was injured.
"What's going on?" Wanyan Xie also roared angrily.
Wanyan Zongwang smiled weakly and said, "Master Du is disappointed!"
After saying that, he fainted suddenly, and Wanyan Xie also shouted quickly, "Why don't you bandage him quickly!"
Several personal soldiers immediately rushed to stop bleeding and bandage the wound on Wanyan Zongwang, and then carried him back to the tent. At this time, a soldier stepped forward and touched Liang Fangping's breath. Wanyan Xie also asked anxiously: "Is there any help?"
