The number one scholar of the Song Dynasty

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the border was solemn. For a long time, it was an unexpected joy for Song Shou to get used to You Yan. After winning it, the whole country rejoiced.

After Han Shizhong came back, his simple words changed the border strategy.The tone is to wait for the enemy to attack, it is better to take the initiative to attack while they are still preparing.

The condescending soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty turned into a large-scale harassment from a small group of sneak attacks.The elusive Qingqi, like ghosts, specializes in transporting the Jurchen Tartars.They shouted and set fires everywhere, fought with a small group of enemies, and turned around and fled when they encountered a large number of people.

At dusk, the smoke billowed, and Song and Jin gangs were fighting.

A thick and short leader of the Tartars swung his gun like a whirlwind, knocking down the sharp arrows one by one, and the Jurchen army behind him swept wildly like a prairie fire, and the horseshoes roared, causing a great earthquake.The charging knights let out a breathtaking roar, and their momentum was extremely frightening. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, no one would believe that it was the momentum of less than 100 people.

On the side of the Song formation, the cavalry was in front, like a flood coming out of the gate. The light armored cavalry rained arrows, and each shot three arrows before riding slowly to avoid it.

People are turned on their backs, flesh and blood are flying, and from time to time someone is picked off, cut down, stabbed down, in the battlefield of flesh and blood, everyone is desperately trying to wipe out this life, and those who were slaughtering others just now may be now A pile of meat paste under the horse's hoof.

Although the Tartars were brave, they couldn't hold back the Song people who came prepared. They had the upper hand in ambushes and had an absolute advantage in numbers, so they slowly completed the encirclement and strangulation.

The smoke of gunpowder has not yet cleared, and the smell of blood is still clearly audible. I saw an armored general wearing a light blue cloak, calmly reining in his horse and standing in the army, watching his men clean up the battlefield.This person was Han Shizhong. By his side, Zong Ze took a breath and said bitterly: "Nearly a thousand people ambushed and beat 100 people, yet so many soldiers were killed or injured, alas!"

Han Shizhong opened his eyes and said nonchalantly, "That's not bad. Three hundred of my brothers died in the Gubei Pavilion the day before yesterday, and there was no Mouk who killed the Tartars."

Up to now, the Jurchen army has no more than a hundred people in a single battle. This Song army was established not long ago, and encountering them in the field is indeed a life-and-death experience.

Only in this kind of battle can a strong army be honed to cope with the big battle that everyone knows will break out in autumn.If you blindly pursue temporary comfort, when the time comes to fight, the disparity in the strength of the enemy and ourselves will make people despair.

Zong Ze also knew that what he said was very reasonable. When he was in charge of the overall situation, he was indeed a bit conservative.He only thinks about running the Great Wall and stabilizing the defense, not the long-term thinking of the old Western Army.

He looked at the wounded soldiers supporting each other, and said: "The fourth wave of comfort troops from Mizhou Bosi has arrived at Tianjin Port. During your stay, they will escort some items to the army every half a month, such as rice noodles, meat, etc. Vegetables, fruits and vegetables, fish eggs, mung beans for heatstroke prevention, plague symptoms, diarrhea and stomachaches that can be dissipated in pills and ointments, and golden sore medicines for knife wounds and arrow wounds.

Han Shizhong finally showed a smile, turned around and said: "With Yang Shaozai, fighting is much more comfortable. Back then, we were in the northwest, hehe, so let's not talk about it!"

Although Zong Ze had never been in the Western Army, he had heard that the Western Army had confronted the Xia bandits all the year round, and the battles had lasted for a hundred years, but they were often owed their salary.

After Jinshang ascended the throne, even for three consecutive years, not a single meter was transferred to the northwest.It's no wonder that these arrogant soldiers from Qinlong often lack respect for the court, and inadvertently say some rebellious and outrageous words.

As the sky was getting darker, Han Shizhong waved his hand and ordered: "Burn the corpses of the Tartars, and withdraw the troops to camp!"

Chapter 423 You Are the King in Yandi

Tianjin Wei, port.

As the five large ships sailed in, cheers erupted from the crowd, and Yang Lin put down the pedal to return to the city that he had built by himself.

What a boldness to enclose land and build a city. In just one year, it has already begun to take shape.Who doesn't marvel at Shaozai's vision, this is indeed a natural port, and it develops rapidly after taking Youyan back.

You must know that when the city was built, the entire land of Youyan was under the control of the Khitan people. It can be said that Tianjin Wei began to be built under the eyes of the Khitan people.

Yang Lin stepped down from the bow of the boat and looked back. Under the bright sunshine, the sea water turned into waves.At the port, there was a crowd of people, and I don't know how many people came to greet them.

Tianjin Wei will soon become the second port of Mizhou. Yang Lin secretly planned that the location of this place is not inferior to that of Mizhou.Because Youyan was occupied by Khitan, the former became a handover between the two countries, and the Khitan people often brought Yan's powerful people to plunder and plunder.Now Tianjin Wei has transformed into an inland area, not to mention far away from the border, there is also the Great Wall and Youyan Junzhou as the Ping Fan, security has been guaranteed.

As long as this Song-Jin war can defend the Great Wall and repel the Jurchens, and attract those merchants who are still waiting, it is not difficult to imagine the prosperity of this place in the future.

Yang Lin went to meet the crowd, and the generals and civil officials of Tianjin Wei stepped forward together and greeted them with clasped fists.Yang Lin responded with a smile, and pointed to the distance after walking three steps: "At the time when Youyan was lost, my Song Dynasty planted countless trees in Hebei to replace the Great Wall at the border and resist foreign cavalry. Now the soldiers at the border are strong and horses are strong, and these century-old trees , can be used as shipbuilding materials, and can be obtained locally."

Tianjin used to be the hardest-hit area of ​​Khitan Dacao Valley. The tall trees on both sides of the port are straight and towering, and they should have grown for at least several decades. The trees in the boundless dense forest are neat and orderly, obviously artificially planted.

These officials were excited to take him to the newly opened restaurant to meet the wind, but when they heard that Yang Shaozai was so diligent, they all became serious and listened carefully.

Yang Lin looked around and said: "The original intention of planting trees is good, but now that the wind direction has changed, these trees are getting denser, and many of them are occupying good fields, leaving the people with no land to cultivate. And blocking the official road, it is like a roadblock. Time to clean up."

The official road to the port actually has to pass through a dense forest, but the road in the middle is quite wide, and a lot of giant trees have been felled.This was only cut down when Yang Lin requested an order. In order to prevent the Khitan from going south, it was really not easy for the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty in Bianliang for a hundred years, and even specially legislated to protect these big trees.

Inadvertently planting willows, originally a giant tree that hindered the development of Hebei, has become a good material for shipbuilding, bridge building, house building, and weapons.

Passing through the dense forest, everyone surrounded Yang Lin, and came to a restaurant built by the sea, with white walls and gray tiles, red lacquer and vermilion bars, which is quite elegant.

After going upstairs, Yang Lin took off his official robe and only wore a light white shirt, and he could see that he was in high spirits.Beside him are two girls, a master and a maidservant. The maidservant's skin is more radiant than snow, and her figure is graceful. Although she is delicate, she can be regarded as an ordinary beauty.

The woman beside her was so tall that she overwhelmed all the men present. Her snow-white silk sleeves were narrow and close to her body, and she was tied with a gold embroidered belt, making her waist look tight and her chest round. Seductive outside.

The officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty was very romantic, without the inhuman etiquette of later generations, it was normal for women to show their heads in public.Everyone thought it was normal, but Yang Shaozai brought his female relatives, so the singing girls and dancing girls who were originally prepared didn't have to play.After taking his seat, Yang Lin didn't continue to chat about government affairs, but chatted with the civil and military officials present.

This time is different from Mizhou, if there is no accident, Yang Lin will stay here until the matter in Beijing comes to an end.In other words, he has plenty of time and is not in a hurry.

After all, Tianjin Wei is a new city that has just been built. The rank of officials here is not high, and the imperial court is set up according to the county seat.Yang Lin's official position was too high, and everyone felt unnatural. Yang Lin took the initiative to chat with them, and then let everyone let go.

Yang Shaozai has such a great reputation, and it is widely rumored that he is not easy to get along with and beats and scolds his colleagues at every turn.The officials of Tianjin Wei were still afraid at first, but after getting along with each other, Yang Shaozai treated others kindly, like a spring breeze, not arrogant because of his high position and power, but very close to him.

After a while, all the food and wine were served, and at the banquet, the cups were exchanged, and the generals slowly lost their restraint, which would invigorate the atmosphere even more.

Speaking of the Jurchen Tartars, a general patted his thigh and said, "Did you ever hear that the Jurchen Tartars are going to attack Weizhou?"

Yang Lin naturally knew it, nodded, and a burst of laughter erupted around him.Nian Xu, magistrate of Hu County, laughed and said, "Weizhou City was built by Li Keyong at the end of the Tang Dynasty. It will be easier to fight than Datong."

"Not good!" Yang Lin's heart moved, and he couldn't help shouting.

Everyone immediately quieted down and looked at Yang Lin blankly.The cheerful atmosphere at the banquet was swept away, and Xu Yuenu also stared at him, wondering what Yang Lin, who had a cloudy face, thought of.

"Weizhou is so strong, and Wanyan Aguda is not an idiot. Will he abandon the Yunzhou mansion where Yelu Yanxi is hidden, and go to Weizhou instead? This is probably a tactic of the Tartars, turning around from Weizhou To the east is Youyan Yizhou Mansion!"

"The Jurchen Tartars are eager to take revenge. Yelu Yanxi and his Khitan court seem to be terrified. I think they probably reached some kind of armistice agreement in private. They want to fight Youyan first and avenge the Jin Kingdom's Eastern Route Army."

As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked, and everyone really did not expect this.As soon as the hatred between Liao and Jin deepened, and Yelu Yanxi was in Yunzhou, everyone thought that Jurchen would attack Yunzhou.

But now the weather is extremely hot, and the Jurchens are ferocious creatures drilled out of the ice and snow. They don't think they will go south in this kind of weather. The border soldiers of the Song Dynasty generally believed that the war would start in the third autumn.

But what is a surprise attack is when everyone thinks you are going west, you turn around and attack east.The more Yang Lin thought about it, the more frightened he became. He had long been familiar with the map of the Youyun area. Although he was relieved of the titles of Deputy Marshal of the Army and Horses, and the title of Pacifier of Heishan Heishan in Hebei, Yang Lin didn't care at all. gesture, stood up and gave orders.

"Quickly go out, notify the Yizhou government to strengthen the city defense, send more light cavalry sentries to patrol, call on the people of Youyan Township to build a city for self-protection; order Bazhou, Gu'an, Fanyang, and Laishui to defend the army and station them Baima Mountain, Taining Mountain, and Langshan Mountain; let Han Shizhong continue to guard the Great Wall, and Zong Ze retreated to Juyongguan in Changping."

Chapter 424 A Negligent Dangerous Mistake

Weizhou City was so strong, it was beyond Yang Lin's expectation, and it almost made him miss Jingzhou.

As expected, a general needs to know too much, and one negligence may result in a total loss. Now Yang Lin is seven or eight points sure, and concludes that A Guda will fight Youyan first.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin got up and went downstairs, ready to go straight to Zhuozhou.Yang Lin remembered that some troops were stockpiled there, and if the Jurchen Tartars wanted to advance with the two armies, a bloody battle would probably break out in Zhuozhou.

As soon as Yang Lin got off the boat, he left in a hurry because of the general's words.The officials left on the first floor looked at each other in blank dismay, this young master was really resolute, he didn't even stop, and ran to Yizhou just for the guessed military situation

In the scorching sun, Yang Lin placed Xu Yuenu in his own courtyard in Tianjin Wei, and led more than a thousand knights to gallop on horseback.These war horses had just gotten off the boat and were in urgent need of activities, so they became familiar after running for a while.

The red dragon is like a rushing magma on the road. Yang Lin, who is pulling the rein, spins rapidly in his mind, Youyun Sixteen States, Youzhou and Yunzhou are too close, A Guda will soon give up Yunzhou Mansion Can kill to the land of Youyan.

The battle situation in Yunzhou is not very optimistic when you think about it. The Western Army under Yao Pingzhong can fight, but letting them fight in a foreign country must be very different from when they fought against Xixia.It is difficult to say how much the Western Army can contribute, and whether it is willing to fight tough battles.No matter how high the prestige of the little Taiwei is, the Western Army is full of ruffians, as naughty as ghosts.

The generals of the Western Army regarded the various roads in Shaanxi as their foundation, and fought with Xixia to die.Once something happened in other places in the Song Dynasty, they would be reluctant to transfer out in every possible way, even against the commander-in-chief, thinking about how to preserve their strength and find a backer in the court, so that everyone can be transferred back to the roads in Shaanxi without incident.

At first they thought that Yang Lin was their backer, but later they found out that Yang Lin hated the separatist feudal towns, and they would punish them to death at the slightest sign.Later, they contacted Liang Shicheng, and they were suddenly involved in the fierce game between the court and China. The Western Army was really nothing in front of this level of struggle.
