Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Sun Fu said very seriously: "This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lu Yihao said: "Do you know what it means to fight Taiyuan?"

"What does it mean?"

"When Yan Zonghan was besieged for nine months, Taiyuan City was taken. Do you think the Jinren have nine months at this moment?"

But Sun Fu said: "Don't forget, the Jin people also have heavy artillery, yes, did someone say that the Jin people already mastered artillery?"

When Sun Fu said this, everyone was slightly taken aback.

"Whether the Jin soldiers appeared in Taihang Mountain or not, we need to further consider that Taiyuan also has a lot of artillery." Lu Yihao said, "As for the deployment of the Jin soldiers, I am afraid it is a big problem. We cannot know the exact deployment of the Jin soldiers. I also don’t know the deployment of our troops.”

Zhang Jun nodded and said, "Attract the main force of Jin Wushu to Hejian Mansion first. Only when the Jin army moves, can we detect their strength more easily."

"Let's go down first, I'm a little tired."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Everyone withdrew, and Lu Yihao and Zhang Jun went to inspect the barracks together.

Lu Yihao said to Zhang Zhiqiu: "How much food and grass are there at present?"

"At present, it is enough to feed 10 people for five months. Lu Xianggong and Zhang Xianggong don't have to worry about food. All the large and small trading companies on the East Road and East Road have already taken action, whether it is the trading companies of the imperial court or the private trading companies."

"What about the price?"

"Before I found out that some officials and some businessmen wanted to raise the price. In Hejian Mansion, I have been referred by the lower officials to the prison department."

"I don't worry about your work." Lu Yihao didn't continue to ask.

At noon, Zhao Ning was resting on the couch and taking a lunch break. It was snowing outside, and suddenly there was a slight sound of footsteps, and he woke up from his sleep.

Wang Huaiji's voice came from the door: "The official is Commander Zheng Xi."

"Let him in." Zhao Ning was still half lying on the bed.

Zheng Xi walked in after unloading his weapon.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Zhao Ning sat up slowly.

"There is a secret letter in the north." Zheng Xi's voice was very low.

Hearing this, Zhao Ning immediately regained his spirits.

"bring here."

Zheng Xi submitted it.

Zhao Ning picked up the dagger on one side, carefully cut off the wax of the seal, and took out a letter from the tube.

According to the old tradition of Song Dynasty, the content of this letter is encrypted.

There are many ways of encryption, such as special ancient poems.

But the most common ones are the general vocabulary unique to the Song Army.

China's true military universal password table did appear in the Northern Song Dynasty.

This letter was written by Ma Kuo, who had been lurking in the Jin Kingdom for many years, and it was about the strength of the Yanyun Jin Army at this time.

There is no specific number of troops, but one thing can be roughly confirmed.

Nearly [-]% of Jin Wushu's troops were deployed to Xijin Mansion and its surrounding areas!

Zhao Ning couldn't help frowning.

How many troops does Yunzhong Mansion have?

How many troops does Liaodong have?

Could it be that Jin Wushu wants to stud with me in Hebei?

"Go, send this letter to Yue Pengju in Zhending Mansion," Zhao Ning said.

"Yes!"

Zhao Ning began to calculate the deployment of troops between Song and Jin.

He brought a brigade of [-] imperial guards, all of whom were elites who could go to the battlefield.

In addition, there are still [-] soldiers and civilians in Hejian Prefecture, and the combined force reaches [-].

Zhending Mansion and Zhongshan Mansion, that is, Yue Fei's place, have a military strength of about 15.

Han Shizhong in Cangzhou has a total force of [-].

The total strength of Wu Lin in Liaodong was [-].

Wu Jie in Hedong has a total force of [-].

In addition to the Anbei Protectorate's Mansion and the grassland, the Song army invested [-] troops.

This adds up to 47.

If you count the troops of Li Shifu in Xingzhou, the four towns of Hexi, and the troops in the Western Regions.

The total strength of the army alone has reached 60.

This is just the frontier army plus the Imperial Guard Brigade, the so-called Sixth Army of the Son of Heaven, plus a part of the Xiang army on the border.

Inside the Great Song Dynasty, there are still local Xiang troops standing on the ground to maintain law and order.

The total strength of the Xiang Army across the country was maintained at 30.

Calculated in this way, the total strength of the army is 90.

The total strength of the Tang Empire in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty was only 60.

If the navy is also added up, including the various semi-militarized personnel of the Song Nanhai Trading Company, the total force is obviously 100 million.

Speaking of this, someone immediately jumped out and shouted: Fart!Are you stupid!In the Warring States period, my Great Qin was able to mobilize millions of troops. How come your Great Song Dynasty has such a large population, so it can’t work?

Believing in the number of troops announced by various countries in the Warring States Period is the same as believing in those companies in the 21st century who claim that their companies have raised billions of dollars and have a market value of hundreds of billions or hundreds of billions.

The number of troops in a country is a core secret, and how much money a company receives is also a secret.

As for valuation...

I am a production company, and I recently took a stake in a technology company that is making money in an emerging industry. The stock has risen temporarily, is it reasonable?

Essentially speaking, an army of one million is already the limit of the limit for the productivity and management efficiency of this era, and there is even a risk of losing control at any time.

Chapter 1412 The Eastern Front Explodes! (first update)

On November [-]th, the snowy forest in the distance was dead silent, and farther away was a vast expanse of nothingness.

The heavy snow covered everything.

But the city of Liaoyang was crowded with people, like dense ants, moving fast.

Gusts of cold wind swept the falling snowflakes, silently washing the flags on the top of the city.

The city gate below was opened, and groups of Golden Army soldiers filed out.

After going out, he quickly found his position outside the city and stood in line.

Not long after, more and more soldiers of the Golden Army gathered outside the city.

Meng'an Gao Yingyi turned around and walked down the tower, mounted his horse and headed towards Liaoyang Commander's Commander.

When I walked to the gate, I happened to meet Li Cheng, the governor of Liaoyang, and he said, "Li Dutong, the army has begun to gather outside the city, and it is expected that they will be assembled in the next moment."

Li Cheng spoke and got on his horse.

The generals of the Jin Army walked out of the city with him.

Gao Yingyi also followed, hesitating for a moment, Gao Yingyi said: "Li Dutong, I heard that many refugees have gone south to Fuzhou."

"It's better to follow the past!" Meng'an named Yi Libu on the other side laughed and said, "Go to Fuzhou to find the Song people to make trouble, and see if the Song people have enough food!"

"What's the situation of Song Jun?" Li Cheng asked suddenly.

He doesn't pay attention to whether there are refugees or not. In his opinion, there is no difference between refugees and grass on the side of the road.

He doesn't care how the Song people treat the refugees. In his mind, there is only one thing: defeating the Liaodong Song Army!

Li Cheng's eyes were cold, his tone was cold, and his expression was even colder. There was a chill in his whole body, even in his bones.

"There is no latest information coming from ahead."

"It's been half a month, and there is no latest information?" Li Cheng glanced at Gao Yingyi, and the latter's heart sank.

Gao Yingyi immediately said: "Based on the current weather, Song people will curl up in the city to enjoy the fire. If there is no latest information, there must be no latest developments."

Li Cheng didn't continue to ask, and the others didn't say anything.

This kind of weather is indeed very unfriendly to Song people.

"The people of Song Dynasty must not know that our army is marching south in such a cold winter. After a few days, we will be able to catch the Song army by surprise!" Li Cheng said, "His Royal Highness Wei Wang attaches great importance to this battle, and we can only win and never lose!"

Everyone responded with a solemn expression.

Not long after, Li Cheng arrived at the gate of the city with a group of officers.

At this time, more than 1 gold troops had gathered outside the city, and the number continued to increase.

Liaoyang has [-] gold troops. If the [-] civilians mobilized this time are added, Li Cheng's total strength will reach [-].

These [-] troops took almost half of Liaoyang's food.

There are still 5 horses left in Wanyanba in the Gaizhou area.

On the Liaodong front, if you count all the people, the Jin people have invested 15 troops, and they want to take advantage of this winter to go south in a large scale.

Li Cheng is confident that since the Jinren discovered a large iron mine (Zunhua Iron Mine) in the Yuyang area seven years ago, Jin Wushu has ordered people to start smelting iron with all their strength.

The original armor rate of the Jin Kingdom's army was already very high, and the current armor rate has completely surpassed that of the past.

What makes Li Cheng more confident is that the number of hard troops has also increased greatly.

At this time, Wanyan Balisu, who was on the front line of Gaizhou, had also received Jin Wushu's order to raise a large army and cooperate with Li Cheng to fully capture Fuzhou and drive the Song army out of Liaodong.

The Jin army in Liaoyang was still gathering, when suddenly a scout rushed towards Li Cheng.

"Li Dutong! Something is wrong! Song Jun... Song Jun... Song Jun..."

"What's wrong with Song Jun?" Yi Libu scolded, "Speak well!"

"Song Jun is here!"

As soon as the scout finished speaking, some indistinct voices came from the snow field ahead.

That feeling is like lying under the woods on a quiet night, hearing gentle waves slowly creeping up on the surface of the sea. The soothing voice reveals a bit of crispness, which makes people feel happy.

"Song Jun is here?" Gao Yingyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at these scouts with strange eyes.

The expressions on other people's faces were almost exactly the same as Gao Yingyi's.

"The Song army is here! At least tens of thousands of troops are here!"

Everyone didn't react for a while.

"This is impossible!" Li Cheng, who was very serious and indifferent, showed a smile on his face, "The main force of the Song Army is in Fuzhou, and Fuzhou is hundreds of miles away! Unless the Song Army flies over!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, the distant voice immediately became clear.

At this time, it was no longer the sound of ocean waves, but rather like the sound of a mountain collapsing and gravel falling like rain.

Li Cheng's expression froze, and he immediately got off his horse, with his ears stuck to the snow.

The rest reacted uncontrollably as well.

"It's cavalry!"

On November 17, [-]th year of Jingkang, Jin Wushu originally planned to order the Liaodong Jin Army to attack Fuzhou first, and he sent Li Cheng, a capable general.

Jin Wushu never expected, and neither did Li Cheng, that Song Jun was faster than them!

Thirty thousand Song troops set off from Fuzhou overnight, braved the severe cold that could crack bones, and advanced hundreds of miles in the snow.

In order to avoid Wanyan Balisu's eyeliner, Song Jun quietly took the eastern route, trekking through the mountains for a whole month, and suddenly appeared in the hinterland of Liaodong in the Kingdom of Jin.

Liaoyang Mansion!

The last fig leaf of the Song-Jin peace talks was torn up, and Da Song took the lead in launching a large-scale war on the grounds of Wanyan Quan's revenge.
