Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

"It's Yue Fei's gauntlet." Zong Han said.

"Marshal, Yue Fei is so eager to fight, there must be ghosts in Fenglong Mountain!" Wanyan Mengshi said, "Not only that, Yue Fei obviously wants us to stay away from Zhaozhou, just because the official Zhao's family is in Zhaozhou."

"Marshal, turn back immediately, the army is approaching Zhaozhou, the last general is willing to be the vanguard!"

From this point of view, quite a few people in Zong Han's army still wanted to capture the king first and attack Zhaozhou directly.

At this time, Zhang Tonggu hurried in: "Marshal! There is an urgent report from Zhaozhou that the official Zhao's family has left Zhaozhou and is heading for Yuanshi County!"

"Really?" Zong Han was taken aback.

Not only Zong Han, but other Jin army generals were also shocked by this news.

At this moment, Zhao Guan's family dared to leave Zhaozhou?

"The lower officials have sent people to confirm it many times, it is absolutely true!" Zhang Tonggu said.

"Marshal, immediately give the last general [-] soldiers and horses, and the last general will go to Zhaozhou now, taking advantage of Zhaozhou's weak force, and take Zhaozhou in one fell swoop!" Wanyan Mengshi said proudly.

"I'm afraid things are not that simple." Zhang Tonggu said.

"how do I say this?"

"Under the strategy of the Song Dynasty, Zhaozhou City is as strong as Taiyuan. It is very difficult to conquer it quickly, and the Zhaoguan family will never take away all the soldiers and horses of Zhaozhou when they leave Zhaozhou. If Yue Fei fights back in two lines, our army will be in a disadvantageous situation."

"Then why did Zhao Guan's family suddenly leave Zhaozhou?" Wanyan Mengshi asked.

"It must be to encircle us with Yue Fei, Marshal, let alone divide our troops now, no matter how many troops the Song army divides into, our army can only concentrate our forces and go all the way to fight!"

Zong Han said with bright eyes: "Go and investigate the whereabouts of Zhao Guan's family first, and see where he is going."

"Yes!"

On the evening of September 23, Zhao Ning summoned Zhang Bofen.

"His Majesty!"

"In the first battle of Shangdang, you led [-] cavalry to raid the Jin army's formation and turned the tide of the battle. Our army won the Shangdang!" Zhao Ning said.

Zhang Bofen said: "That was under the circumstances of His Majesty's wise command and the vanguard army fighting bravely against the enemy. This minister is just icing on the cake, and I dare not take credit for it!"

"Five years have passed, and now I want you to send out another journey. This time is more difficult than the last time, and the task is heavy. Do you dare?"

"Your Majesty please order!"

"Starting from Yuanshi County, go west and enter Wuji Mountain. There is a large mountain range, which is the easternmost extension of Taihang Mountain. Although there are many mountain roads, you will definitely be able to avoid the eyes and ears of the Jin people when you go there. I need such a strange army. , can play a key role in the critical moment of the war! I have found local hunters for you, and they are very familiar with the road conditions!"

"As long as His Majesty gives an order, I am willing to go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire!"

"In this battle, Zong Han may have invested a total of [-] troops, and our army also has a considerable force. The two sides will start a duel in this area, stretching for more than ten miles, or even twenty or thirty miles. Battle!" Zhao Ning said very seriously, and he patted Zhang Bofen on the shoulder, "I have placed the fate of Song Dynasty in your hands!"

Zhang Bofen was extremely excited immediately, he clasped his fists and said loudly: "I will never disgrace Your Majesty's mission!"

Zhao Ning's words naturally have a lot to do to his subordinates, just like bosses usually say "every position in our company is very important".

This made Zhang Bofen feel an unprecedented sense of mission and honor.

That night, he led five thousand cavalry and disappeared into the night.

On September 24, Zhao Ning left Yuanshi County and quickly marched north.

A large number of Golden Army scouts began to shuttle back and forth in this area, sending intensive information to Zong Han.

Zong Han was extremely excited, like a hunter finally seeing his biggest target appearing near him.

He even thought about raising troops to kill Zhao Guan's family directly.

However, due to the lack of most of the information, Zong Han was not so decisive because he was worried that the Song army would set up an ambush nearby.

While pretending to advance towards Fenglong Mountain, he kept a close eye on Zhao Ning's whereabouts.

At the same time, a large number of Jin Army scouts are still haunting Fenglong Mountain.

They stepped across the fields, grasslands, and even climbed to the mountains, carefully inspected and inspected the valleys, and searched all the places there to see if there was an ambush by the Song army.

From this point of view, Zong Han's ability to control the entire army in battle is not comparable to that of ordinary Jin army generals.

So it was very difficult for Yue Fei to ambush a surprise soldier in Fenglong Mountain.

September 25, outside Cangzhou City.

Zongwang had camped in this area for a while, but he did not continue going south.

He is waiting for Zong Han's news, because the Eastern Front is blocked strategically, the only one who can turn the whole situation around now is Zong Han's army on the West Road.

It is impossible for Zong Wang to devote the rest of his troops to this war, unless Zong Han wins a huge victory on the West Road and causes a big rift in Song Dynasty.

After all, Zongwang had to consider not only the frontline battlefield, but also the political situation in the rear. Only with an elite team in hand could he be able to advance and retreat.

The war situation on the Eastern Front fell into a state of silence, but on September 25th, Jin Wushu's army in the Liaodong area had assembled to [-], and while going all the way south, he recruited Han Chinese to sign troops in various places.

The Kingdom of Jin is not a recruitment system, the Kingdom of Jin is not a recruitment system, the Kingdom of Jin is not a recruitment system!

Jin Guo's way of recruiting soldiers is very barbaric, whether you want to or not, you can directly recruit them.

Moreover, the general army basically has no salary, and the Han Chinese signed the army without any good equipment.

Once a genius of the Song Dynasty provided the Song Dynasty court with an absolutely genius idea: to instigate the Han people in the Kingdom of Jin, and let the Han people take up arms against the Jin people.

It is said that this genius still participated in the imperial examination and entered the imperial examination.

Zhao Ning's original words to the Ministry of Officials at that time were as follows: It is recommended that this person be arranged to be an official on the border.

What if he really did what no one in the past five generations has done?

Maybe he is a god who came down to earth, and with one order, millions of Han people in Jin Kingdom were brainwashed by him, so he only listened to him?

Maybe those Han people had a hot head, and for their own momentary thoughts, they ignored their family members?

You idiot, if you put it in the frontier, it may still be saved.

The scale of Jin Wushu's Han signing army is increasing rapidly.

The number of elite regular troops is also increasing, and the number of kidnappers has reached [-].

You know, this time going south, the total number of Zong Han's kidnappers is only [-], and Zong Wang's is [-].

Not to mention that he still has [-] Iron Buddhas in his Golden Wushu.

Once the Iron Buddha forms an impact, it will be a real torrent of steel on the battlefield.

Its rules are different from those of the Kidnapper Horse. The Kidnapper Horse cuts the enemy's formation after a breakthrough in flank bloodletting tactics.

But Tiefutu can push directly from the front.

On September 26th, Liaodong began to snow, and this winter was extremely cold.

On September 27th, Zhao Ning saw the Fenglong Mountain, and Zong Han also got the exact news that Zhao Guan's family had arrived at Fenglong Mountain.

The cold wind in the eighth year of Jingkang has crossed the Yinshan and Yanshan mountains, forming a huge cold wave, overwhelming the North China Plain.

Chapter 765 Arrangement at the front! (third change)

For Da Song, if he wins this battle, he can take back the three towns in Hebei, and the strategic confrontation will advance to the Yanyun area.

And the Kingdom of Jin will also be seriously injured, the Zonghan faction will inevitably be purged, and the internal power of the Kingdom of Jin will change.

As for the situation after Jingkang eight years later, I am afraid that no one can predict it.

God knows what direction Song and Jin will go and where they will go.

The scout rushed over and presented the latest information to Yue Fei.

"Your Majesty has arrived at Fenglong Mountain." Yue Fei said, "He is camping here at the moment."

He pointed to a place twenty miles northwest of Yuanshi County.

Next to Yue Fei's military map table, there is a clock, which is specially prepared by the Ministry of Industry for the military.

This is a batch made by the royal craftsmen of the Song Dynasty. The precision is excellent and the interior is very complicated.

It is said that a part of it has been mass-produced. Except for the batch of clocks and watches with excellent precision by a senior commander like Yue Fei, the other clocks have more or less problems.

At this time, the time indicated by the clock is nine o'clock in the morning.

However, the biggest advantage of this clock is not the time.

When it was invented and sent to the Military and Political Yuan, Zhang Shuye only said one sentence: "The direction of the army will be clearer in the future."

Yue Fei thought for a while and said, "According to this new theory, Your Majesty should be at seven o'clock, about forty miles away from us."

There is Fenglong Mountain in the west, and the endless Hebei Plain in the east.

To be precise, Yue Fei's location is the downtown area of ​​Shijiazhuang in later generations.

In this era, here are still fertile fields and villages.

"Zong Han's main force is here." Yue Fei pointed to the map and continued, "04:30 direction, twenty miles."

According to this statement, the three sides theoretically form a triangle.

However, the reality is certainly not the case.

Including the logistics army, and a part that was previously assigned, Zong Han has nearly [-] troops.

Including logistics, Yue Fei has [-].

And what about Zhao Ning?

Including the logistics army, there are a total of [-].

In fact, there is no difference in the overall strength of the two sides.

If calculated according to the regular army, Yue Fei has [-] regular troops, and Zhao Ning has [-] who can fight.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Ning has [-] forbidden troops, all of whom can fight.

The number of Zong Han's regular army is [-].

Why does Zong Han's logistics use 5 people to support 4 people, but Song Jun is easier than this?

Because Zong Han came from Yanyun after all, the logistics requirements for him will be higher.

If Zhao Ning wants to attack Yanyun from the north of Zhending, according to the [-] regular army deployed by Zong Han, it may need [-] logistics troops to support it.

Why does Zhao Ning need more?

This has something to do with the military and politics of the two countries, as well as their ruling philosophy.

Xixia has soldiers all over the country, no matter men, women, old or young, they are ready to be dispatched at any time.

Therefore, Xixia has always had very little income, but it can recruit most of its troops at any time.

Jin Guo is all enlisted in the military between the ages of 20 and 50, and is ready for recruitment at any time.

In addition, the grain shooting army of the Kingdom of Jin is young and strong between the ages of 17 and 30. The National Congress of Jin will give them a little money to collect and transport food for them.

When the regular army is insufficient, the grain shooting army can make up for it at any time.

As for how much money does the Shooting Army have?

On average, each person is about one-tenth of the income of the logistics staff in the Song Dynasty, which is very little.

Because the ruling philosophy of the Kingdom of Jin is high-pressure, they were barbarians at the beginning, without any burden from the celestial dynasty, if you are not obedient, you will be killed first, until you are obedient.

However, the Great Song Dynasty was a celestial dynasty that was serious, and it was unreasonable to be too harsh on the common people.

And the Great Song Dynasty had a recruitment system, not only the regular army had salaries, but also the logistics personnel had salaries.

Zhao Ning is particularly concerned about this, and strictly guarantees the operation of the military and political system.

The pension case lost a lot of heads.

Unlike the Jin army's forced collection of grain from various places, Zhao Ning's grain was still bought from various places.

Therefore, for Zhao Ning, fighting the same war would consume more money than Jin Guo.

Can Zhao Ning play like Jin Guo?

you can!

but!

The premise is that he uses big nobles and big bureaucrats to govern the country to check and balance and squeeze the people.

However, from the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Ning took the road of wooing the common people, dividing the bureaucrats and the nobles, and pointing the butcher knife at the nobles and bureaucrats.

This path can help him reform, but he must bear the hidden costs involved.
