Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 451 Idiot, Big Idiot
The military emergency report was sent from Daming Mansion again.

Yuxi is galloping, and the galloping fast horse is difficult to enter from Jizhou Zhixin.

The whole street was naturally stirred up, with people jumping on their backs, chickens and dogs jumping, and curses uttered continuously.But there were also some people who looked at the back of Kuaiqiu as he rode away, showing signs of worry.

Tian Huke was gathered in Shenzhou in the north of Jizhou. There is Hutuo River in the north and Hutuo River in the east, connecting with the Yellow River North River; the Yellow River North River and its tributary Hulu River in the south, and Hutuo River in the west. Sleeping Water, one of the many tributaries.It can be said to be a rare and difficult place. For this reason, the Song army demolished all the bridges on the Hutuo River and the Hulu River.At a huge price, Fang was in Raoyang, the northeast corner of Shenzhou, withstood Tian Hu's eastward advance.

Each other is on the east side of the north-north intersection of the Hutuo River, and further east is Hejian Mansion. When you get there, Tian Hu will wait for Ruo and Liangshan Army to meet.To the north of Shenzhou is Xiongzhou and Baoding. The latter also meets the Liangshan Army, but the former is the most important channel between Song and Liao.

Although the garrison there has long been decayed, it is by no means a good place.Because no matter how rotten soldiers are, they are still soldiers, and field battles are impossible. For Tian Hu's defeated soldiers, is it still impossible to defend the city?
Even if Tian Hu's army could break through a few cities, so what?In places like Xiongzhou and Baoding, the military cities are the most numerous.

As we all know, the loss of the Youyun Sixteen States opened the door to the north of the Central Plains. I was afraid that before I could not regain the Youyun Sixteen States, I established many military strongholds in the states between the rivers in Hebei for defense, such as Ba Zhouzhou, Xiongzhou, Yizhou, Dingzhou, Baozhou and other places.In various states and counties, villages and towns were built to garrison troops.That is my first line of defense in the north.In the land of five states, more than [-] soldiers were used.The Hutuo River was the second line of defense in Hebei, with Ying, Cang, Ji, Bei, and Xing prefectures as the key points of the middle line of defense; while the Yellow River was the last line of defense in the Northern Song Dynasty to resist the southward movement of the Liao army.Da Mingfu, Chanzhou, and Huazhou served as resistance centers, and heavy troops were stationed to defend the capital Bianliang.

The military cities in Xiongzhou and Baoding are just pieces of wood, and it would take a lot of effort and time to chop them clean, wouldn't it?
And this is exactly what Tian Hu's remnant army urgently needs.

Therefore, the Song army worked hard in Raoyang to make Tian Hu fight hard and fail to succeed, but he couldn't get around it, and finally fell into a difficult situation where there were strong cities blocking him before and chasing troops later.In desperation, he returned to the city of Jing'an and held on, waiting for the Liangshan army to come to help him.

Lu Qian naturally had a lot of troops stationed in Cangzhou, but he chose Daming Mansion from the very beginning instead of dispatching the Cangzhou Army to break open Hejian Mansion and rescue Tian Hu.Because doing that made Zhao Song feel too strong. There was a feeling that Lu Qian was going to sweep Hebei, and if he was not sure, he would have to exchange fire with the North Road West Army first.

This is what Lu Qian tried his best to avoid.Because Yanqing sent back a message a few days ago, which caused a thought in his heart.

——It is not necessary to fight desperately to eliminate the threat of the Western Army; maybe time is also a good helper.

Zhao Song's treasury was already starving to death, and the old Zhao family had no money.

And even though the Western Army gained a lot of benefits in countering the rebellion, if there were no rewards, would these people still have such a firm will to fight?Even the most loyal generals to Zhao Song would not dare to guarantee it.You must know that this reward for military merit is an important part of China's military expenditure since ancient times, and it is an important means for various dynasties to motivate soldiers to fight the enemy bravely.

The Song Dynasty fought against Liao in the early period, and fought against Xixia in the middle and late period. The wars continued all year round, and they attached great importance to military rewards.Its reward standards and military merit evaluation system are also very detailed and perfect.The "Wu Jing Zong Yao" compiled by Zeng Gongliang and Ding Du in the Renzong Dynasty formulated corresponding rewards for different military achievements such as capturing the head, capturing alive, seizing supplies, spying on the military situation, recruiting troops, and surrendering. Fifth class or fourth class, and the amount of money and objects rewarded by each class is stipulated in detail.

Ten pieces of silk and ten pieces of money are the first; seven pieces of silk and eight pieces of money are the second; five pieces of silk and five pieces of money are the third; three pieces of silk and three pieces of money are the fourth and so on; one piece of silk and three passes of money are the fifth class.

It can be said that every time the Song Army wins a battle, it is fed with money.Without money, it is useless for anyone to come, and the combat power will be discounted.Lu Qian is not Xixia, not a foreign race, and has no grudge against them.

Therefore, there is no need to hesitate at all, just spend it.When the treasury of Zhao and Song is empty, the combat power of the Song army will be weakened, or even significantly weakened.He seemed to have some impression of this. He remembered where he read it. It was said that the Jin soldiers were coming. The military attache of the Song army asked the soldiers to shoot arrows, but the soldiers asked for money. If they didn't give the reward, they wouldn't shoot arrows, so that they lost their troops in battle. Abandoning armor and running away allows the golden soldiers to win without fighting.

There is even a more bizarre piece of news, saying that a certain emperor in the Southern Song Dynasty had great ambitions and was determined to forge ahead, and wanted to recover the lost land by the Northern Expedition, but the military rewards cost a lot of money.A minister said that before going to war, you should calculate how many times the current court savings can pay for rewards, so you can know whether it is time to go to the Northern Expedition.As a result, after an inventory, it was learned that the treasury's property was only enough to pay thirteen rewards, so the emperor had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​using troops.

Therefore, Tian Hu can't blame Lu Qian for being unhappy.

Don't you hear that people don't kill heaven and earth for themselves?

Many people in Xindu City know that such an urgent military situation represents an urgent battle report.Every time it appears, it is related to the overall situation of the world.

If it is a big victory, you will definitely shout along the way, although sometimes you won't.But if you are defeated or in danger, you will never cry out.

"Daming Mansion is in emergency,——"

The visitor rushed directly into the lobby holding an emergency report. With one sentence, everyone in the hall was shocked and panicked.

"Idiot, what a fool." Tong Guan hurriedly took the battle report, opened it to read, and shouted angrily.The battle report was thrown on the ground, Zhao Liangsi picked it up and looked at it, he also cursed Zhang for not being able to control himself.

At this moment, Tong Guan's former army commander, Wang Zhizheng, led the troops to fight on the front line. This man's roots are far less profound than Yao Gu's. He lost his official career after his defeat. Fortunately, Tong Guan knew heroes, and his generals were all lost. , It also needs people to support, so Wang Zhi was appointed as the former commander of the army, but in fact he was the chief general of the army.In that army, Guo Zhongxun was the commander in chief, and it was difficult for him to take on a big job because he was only a middle-aged man.But people have always had roots, just like Pan Gun and Liu Guangshi in the past.

"There is only Enzhou between Jizhou and Shenzhou, and it is connected with the North Road of the Yellow River. The thieves can reach there in three days by going against the river." Guo Zhongxun saw that the battle report said that Zhang had lost more than half of his troops, and he knew that he had already Unable to hold on, he slumped down on the chair.

Tong Guanji had no intention of reprimanding Guo Zhongxun for his discouraging words, and immediately made up his mind that he must retreat.At least his men must retreat.

Tong Guan of Xindu has received the news, and Hengshui, which is only separated by the Hulu River, Zhongshidao has also received the urgent report.The only thing missing from this urgent report was the news that Tong Guan had withdrawn his troops.

There is no commander-in-chief on the battlefield in Hebei, and Zhao Ji pointed to Tong Guan and Zhang Suo's two troops to balance the division.How are you willing to hand over these two armies to Zhong Shidao?
But the latter has a strong army and horses, and undoubtedly occupies a dominant position in it.

That kind of teacher is not a domineering person. He still treats Tong Guan, an old superior, with respect and courtesy, which gives Tong Guan enough face. Why doesn't the latter know the truth about people carrying people in sedan chairs?Recalling Guo Zhongxun back to Xindu and releasing the king to command the army is a clear proof.That Wang Ting was born in the Western Army.

Zhang Suo is also a person who knows the big picture and takes the overall situation into consideration.It can be said that this battle in Hebei was quite satisfactory for Zhongshi.

But looking at it now, such a good day will be gone forever.When the Liangshan army joined, Zhong Shidao was not surprised, even after he heard that the Liangshan army gathered troops in Yanggu, he could still feel some hidden meaning.But the problem is that Zhang Suo lost too quickly.

"Zhang Xianggong is not an unwise person. Why did he fight so recklessly and make the situation so embarrassing." Striving forward, strive to win Jing'an as soon as possible.

Under Jing'an City, military camps surrounded the city on all sides.The traces of the stone cannons were clearly visible, and a section of the wall in the west of the city where the fire was concentrated had completely collapsed.The rammed earth that rolled down formed a gentle slope under the city, and there were corpses everywhere inside and outside.

Niu Wenzhong had already stopped breathing, his eyes were wide open, and his face was full of pain and ferocity.He was hit in the chest by the iron chain flail, and the breastplate was sunken as big as a fist. Naturally, he couldn't survive.

Such a long fight caused Tian Hu's subordinates to suffer a lot, except Niu Wenzhong, the privy envoy, his second younger brother Tian Bao, the original palace commander Zhang Xiong, generals Ma Ling, Dong Cheng, etc., and countless other generals.

At this time, Tian Biao, Wu Li, Bian Xiang, and Shan Shiqi were guarding the four sides of Jing'an. There was Taiwei Fang Xuedu sitting in the gap in the west city, and Zhu Jing and others were under his command. Tian Hu prayed and prayed in the city day and night. Lu Qian rushed to help.Now he regretted it all, talking about millions of money, even if he took all the money he collected over the years, as long as it could save his life, it was worth it.

On the front line, Wang Ting received the letter and was very annoyed. This Jing'an seemed to be at the end of his battle, but he wanted to leave at this moment.It's really bad.At this time, the commander in chief of the Western Army on the front line is Liu Yanqing. Although this person's reputation in later generations is not good, after going through so many battles, his standard is still high.

Not to mention that Wang Zhi is going to retire. This is a concession, which is a great thing for the Western Army.

So he ordered generals such as Xin Xingzong, Jiao Anjie, and Yang Weizhong on the front line to launch a fierce attack on Jing'an.Then ask the eldest son Liu Guangguo to lead the army to replace Wang Zhen. This can cover the retreat of Wang Zhen's troops, right?Let the thieves in the city not see the truth.

The Western Army are all veterans, how could they not know the morale of the long-defending army would suddenly rise when they heard that reinforcements were coming?

Liu Yanqing's move was very safe.

Yang Weizhong, the commander of the west of the city, is also true, but he is definitely not the successor of Yang Linggong, and he has no relationship with Yang Zhi.This man's real surname is Kang, his given name is Jiong, and his given name is Wei Zhong.He is the descendant of Kang Bao's descendant who was deployed (du general manager) during Song Renzong's reign.In the second year of Song Zhenzong's Xianping period, Kang Baoyi was defeated at Gaoyang Pass and captured by the Liao army.

However, Yang Weizhong joined the army in Huanzhou as a Tibetan during the reign of Zhe Zong Yuanyou. He served in the army for more than [-] years and made many distinguished achievements.In the second year of Huizong's Daguan reign, Kang Jiong moved to the left and served as Dr. Zuowu, defense envoy of Mozhou, pacification envoy for Yanbian strategy of Huaide army and judge of Huaide army, and Yuhou, deputy capital of infantry guard.He is a veteran of the Western Army.Compared with Liu, the difference is only in basics.

After receiving the military order, immediately order the soldiers and horses.Then Liu Kai asked for his order first.Earlier in the Battle of Hedong, he was sent to Tan Zhen's office, and he was very appreciated by Tan Zhen. After the Battle of Hedong, he was elected by Tan Zhen to the top position, and now he is serving as the commander of the rear army under Yang Weizhong.

Yang Weizhong didn't despise Liu Qi for relying on Tan Zhen's superiority. Aren't all the Western Army in the past were under Tong Guan's control.Liu Kai is capable of both literary and military skills, and is quick to change. Although he is young, he is very competent in any command in the army. "Just fight with Uncle Xin, and be careful in battle."

"Liu Kai took the order." But he left with his hands clasped.He naturally knew of Yang Weizhong's kindness, but the worst thing for Liu Qi nowadays is to be cautious.Liu Zhongwu was exiled, and his elder brother was killed, so the Liu family depended on him for support.

Before the battle, Liu Kai moved the iron cone gun in his hand and shouted: "Brothers, kill the thief!"
