One Piece of Song Dynasty

Liang Xing said: "Yes, we can only hope that the imperial army can successfully capture Yanyun. By the way, Brother Liang, how did your people perform in the Jin army?"

Zhao Yun replied: "They are all pretty good. Yang Yun has been promoted to the rank of Ten Thousand Households of the Jin Army because of his bravery in combat. Others have also been promoted slightly and have several hundred households."

Liang Xing said thoughtfully: "Then we can completely control Yang Yun's ten thousand households?"

Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "Not yet, the number of households in Ten Thousand Households has increased a lot compared to Thousand Households. We are short of manpower and can only control half of the military strength at present."

Liang Xing said: "How about adding more people?"

Zhao Yun spread his hands and said, "But there are no extra manpower here."

Liang Xing thought for a while and said, "Why don't we ask your lord to mobilize a group of manpower? We have to completely control Yang Yun's ten thousand households."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Okay, I have no objection."

Liang Xing said: "Okay, Brother Zhao, please go back first, and I will write a letter to you right now."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Brother Liang, wait a minute, I still need to discuss something with you. Yang Yun and the others have made great achievements in the battle against Liao, so they will naturally be rewarded, and among the rewards, there will naturally be women. Because Yang Yun could not contact us in time, they He collected it first, and after collecting it, he wrote to us asking if it could be collected, and what should we do if we encounter this kind of situation in the future."

Liang Xing thought for a while and said: "To be honest, it's definitely not good if you don't accept others. It will easily arouse suspicion if you don't accept others, and it is also not conducive to their foothold in the Jin Army. You can accept them, but they must be careful not to accept them." Let’s reveal the secret. The people we come here are all family members. Let them think more about their families in the distance who are waiting for them to return home safely. They must not indulge themselves here, especially wine. Since there is a woman, wine You can't touch it, they say you speak the truth after drinking, and you may not be able to control what you say after drinking."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Okay, now that I know how to reply to them, I will leave first."

After Zhao Yun left, Liang Xing quickly wrote a secret letter and gave it to Niu San: "Niu San, please send this letter to your Excellency as soon as possible."

Niu San took the letter and said: "Yes, Langjun."

A few days later, Li Xin received a secret letter from Liang Xing. After translating it, Li Xin said to himself: "Although I already knew this result in advance, after actually experiencing it, I still feel that it is too fast."

Li Xin readily agreed to Liang Xing's request for more manpower, and quickly wrote a letter to Liang Xing and Zhang Hu respectively.

After sending the two letters, Li Xin went to Yu Liyan with the secret letter. Yu Liyan still had to be informed about the affairs of the Liao Kingdom. He had to know sooner or later, so it was better to know earlier.

Li Xin looked at Yu Liyan and touched his nose and said, "Madam, this is the latest news about the Liao Kingdom. Take a look."

After Yu Liyan took the secret letter and read it, he sighed and calmly returned the secret letter to Li Xin.

Li Xin was a little surprised and said: "Madam looks so calm."

Yu Liyan said: "Husband, do you think I should be sad? In fact, I am a little numb to this kind of news now. I can't stop it anyway. It's useless to be sad. Besides, don't you Han people have a saying, "Marry" "Follow the chicken, follow the chicken, and follow the dog when you marry a dog." I am now my husband's. I just want to live a good life with my husband and don't want to think about those troublesome things anymore."

Li Xin hugged Yu Liyan and said, "Okay, madam, don't worry, I will definitely treat you well in this life."

While Li Xin was waiting for Goryeo to attack on Jeju Island, Song Huizong Zhao Ji finally appointed Tong Guan as the propaganda envoy of Hebei and Hedong Roads, and asked him to lead troops to patrol the north to collect gold, which was actually to attack Yanyun.

Tong Guan led the army to station at Waqiao Pass, waiting for the opportunity to attack Yanyun. Tong Guan's army in the Northern Expedition can be said to be the most elite army in the entire Song Dynasty, and it brought many famous generals, including the Yang family, Zhong The generals of the Western Army, including Jia Jia, Zhe Jia, Yao Jia, etc., all took them with them.

On the school grounds, there were bursts of cheers. A young general stretched his bow and nocked an arrow. An arrow flew out. A sharp arrow appeared on the red heart of the target a hundred steps away. The cheers suddenly became louder. Many, the military respects the strong, and soldiers are willing to follow the strong. Only by following the strong will the soldiers have a greater chance of survival.

"Brother, good job." A young man with a handsome face shouted, waving a broadsword.

The soldiers cheered loudly, and their morale seemed to be very good. After all, the Liao Kingdom had been crippled by the Jin army, and the imperial court was joining forces with the Jin Kingdom to destroy the Liao Dynasty. Facing the defeated Liao Kingdom, the soldiers were full of confidence. They thought that the task of capturing Yanyun was easy and did not require much effort. This was the view of both senior generals such as Tong Guan and the lower-level soldiers.

A smile appeared on Yue Fei's face. When he went to Hebei, he met Tong Guan's Hebei and Hedong Xuanfu staff officer Liu Wei. He joined the army in response to Tong Guan's attack on Liao and recruited troops. After joining the army, he quickly relied on his martial arts to achieve success. The position of head of the capital.

Yue Fei handed the bow in the hands of the young man who called him eldest brother and said: "Wang Gui, have you received all the food and grass from the army?"

Wang Gui replied: "We received them all this morning. Brother, you said that we have been here at Waqiao Pass for several days, and there is no sign of preparations for the march. Although there is no shortage of food and grass, it is not a problem to stay here all the time. "

Yue Fei smiled and said: "What's wrong? I'm anxious to make meritorious deeds."

Wang Gui said hey: "Now is a good time to make meritorious service. The Liao army has been crippled by the Jin army. If we don't fight, we may not even be able to drink the soup."

Yue Fei frowned and said: "Do all the soldiers in the army think like you?"

Wang Gui nodded and said, "Yes, brother, everyone is waiting to join Yan Yun and make great achievements."

Yue Fei sighed and said: "Wang Gui, you must know that the art of war is that Yunjiao's troops will be defeated. Although the Liao army is a defeated army, it cannot be underestimated. The other armies do not care, and we cannot have such thoughts. You go and pass on the order."

Wang Gui replied: "Yes, brother, I will go right away."

As soon as Wang Gui finished speaking, he heard a messenger shouting: "The Privy Council has an order to set off tomorrow to attack Youzhou. Anyone who disobeys the order will be killed."

After receiving the order, Yue Fei shouted: "Wang Gui, order the whole army to make all preparations and set off with the army early tomorrow morning."

Wang Gui cupped his fists and said, "Yes, brother."

As military orders came out one after another, bursts of cheers came from the Song Army camp under Waqiao Pass. The soldiers had been waiting for this day for a long time. In front of them was Yanyun, where the defeated Liao soldiers were stationed. At this time, they attacked Yanyun. It's almost a sure-win situation, and this feat is easy to grasp.

"The war has finally started, but I always have an uneasy feeling in my heart. I always feel that this Northern Expedition will not go so smoothly." Yue Fei murmured to himself as he looked at the cheering soldiers around him.
