The night is vast, and the entire county town of Licheng is like a dead city, and the silence is terrifying. Sometimes there were a few wild cats and wild dogs barking in the darkness, making the whole city look particularly desolate.

The county government of Licheng County is bright at the moment, and in the hall of the county government, the voices are boiling and the crowd is excited.

"Great official, now that there are no officers and soldiers from the imperial court around Taiyuan, is our army really going forward? With 5,000 people in our military region, it is tantamount to a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and the big officials have to think twice!"

Hearing that Wang Song was going to raise troops to the north, Zhang Heng was anxious and persuaded on the side.

"In the opinion of the brothers, do you want to go north or not? Brother Zhang Heng is right, there is no military horse of the imperial court around Taiyuan, and after the loyal and righteous army goes, it is likely to fight alone, do you think it is worth it? ”

Glancing at the generals in the army sitting below, Wang Song was expressionless, and just asked softly.

Most of the people who were able to sit in the hall to participate in this pre-military meeting were the backbone of the original Loyal and Righteous Army, but there were also newcomers like Li Yanxian.

Some of them have been soldiers before, some have been bandits, and there are also some wealthy gentry families and commoners, but as the saying goes, three stinky skins, one Zhuge Liang, Wang Song believes in the collective wisdom of the masses.

As for talents like Yue Fei, it was given by God. Wang Song doesn't know where he is or what kind of profession he is engaged in, and he can only rely on the opinions of this group of brothers in life and death.

Now in this team, Zhang Heng and Dong Ping are the commanders of the left and right armies, and although Deng Shixiong has no position, he is responsible for the logistics support of the entire loyal and righteous army.

The other battalion commanders, all the leaders, and the team leaders were all veterans who had participated in the Battle of Killing Bear Ridge. It can be said that in the combat unit, officers account for about one-fifth, and the combat effectiveness may be expected, but there are too few personnel in the staff. In many cases, everyone's battle plan comes from Wang Song's own dictatorship.

But this time is very different, the previous two times were sneak raids, and this time it is likely to be an encounter. For Wang Song, who has never commanded an army to fight, he really has some ups and downs in his heart.

This is not a game of family, this is a matter of life and death for a few days.

"Brothers, the big officials led the brothers to the north, and they went to pacify the army. If the Pingding Army is occupied by Fanzi, and Jingcheng is attacked by Fanzi from both sides, it will definitely not last long!"

Zhang Heng has a rough personality, but Dong Ping is much more mellow and delicate, and when he saw that everyone didn't speak, he stood up.

As soon as the well is lost, Hebei and Hedong will be under the control of Fanzi, and Fanzi will go south, and there will be no worries! "

"Brother Dong Ping is right, this time our brothers went north, just to pacify the army!"

Wang Song looked at Dong Ping appreciatively, nodded and said, "We also want to save Taiyuan, but with only six or seven thousand people in our area, how can we compete with Fanzi's fifty or sixty thousand iron horsemen?"

"Daguan, I'm just worried that this time I go north, the disparity between the strength of the enemy and us is too great, and the brothers are afraid that they will suffer heavy losses!"

Lin Tianyou was on the side, and said with a worried face.

"Daguanren, last time we went to 1,500 brothers, and less than 700 came back! If you go again this time, the brothers will all fold there, so the villains are worried!"

Li Xiaochun stood up suddenly, he pointed to the generals in front of him and said, "Speaking of which, you birdmen are still afraid of death!" You've forgotten what you're doing here! Forget how your brothers and sisters were slaughtered by the golden dogs, how they were raped! Damn the ball is facing up, not dead and alive for 10,000 years! As long as the big official gives an order, the villain is willing to charge forward and be the vanguard of the whole army!"

For Li Xiaochun, whose family was ruined, killing Wang Song on Xiongling saved his life, and Wang Song did not treat the brothers badly. Wang Song was able to go north at this time, which shows that he is open in his heart, and it is not for himself.

Lin Tianyou's face turned red, he patted the table and said, "Li Xiaochun, do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm thinking about the safety of my brothers!" The big officials just give orders, and the villains are in front of the fight, and there is no ambiguity! I lost my head, the bowl has a big scar, and I agree to go!"

Wang Song looked down and saw a fresh face eager to try, but in the midst of everyone's gossip, he couldn't interject. He pressed his hand, and after everyone quieted down, he pointed to the fresh face behind him and said, "This brother, tell me what you think?"

The scene suddenly fell silent, and the scar-faced Jiang Hu quickly stood up and said embarrassedly: "Big official, villain didn't mean it!" The villain just felt that this Brother Li had some opinions, so he brought him along to listen to everyone's opinions. Please forgive me!"

Li Yanxian got up and hugged his fists and said: "The big official Hugh wants to blame Instructor Jiang, he asked him to bring him up next!" The villain has something to say, and he asks the big officials to agree. ”

Wang Song nodded and said: "The people present are all brothers of life and death, everyone speaks freely and knows everything. If a brother has something to say, just come through the channel. ”

"Back to the big officials, I think that when the two armies face each other, they must make use of their strengths and weaknesses to kill and injure each other as much as possible! Fanzi is sparsely populated, and if it can annihilate thousands of Fanzi people like the last time Xiongling was killed, it will be a great victory. ”

Li Yanxian hugged his fists and said: "This time, our army is going north, and I agree with the choice of the big officials!" One is that Fanzi didn't think that someone would come to the rescue, so he could be caught off guard, and the other is that if he could keep Jingcheng, Fanzi always had worries and didn't dare to rest assured that he would go south. ”

"Brother Li, what you said lightly, how can our army march to avoid the iron cavalry of the Jurchens?"

Facing Zhang Heng's questioning, Li Yanxian smiled and said: "General Zhang, our army can rely on the Taihang Mountains to constantly attack and harass it, I believe that Fanzi will not tire of it, and the trend of going south will inevitably be reduced." I wonder what the officials and you think?"

Wang Song glanced at this elegant officer in surprise, and he didn't expect that this person had already touched the threshold of guerrilla warfare in later generations, and he looked like a general.

He nodded slowly and said, "What this brother said is also right, but it is also a little lacking."

He stood up, walked slowly to the hall, and said in a deep voice: "The first goal of the war is to kill and injure the opponent to the greatest extent and make the opponent lose its combat effectiveness, there is no doubt about it!" To deal with a brutal team like Fanzi, it is even more necessary to counter violence with violence, killing them with fear, blood flowing like rivers, and they dare not despise my Great Song Dynasty!"

"To tell the truth, for our army, it doesn't make much sense to save Taiyuan or not, because our army is not an opponent of the besieging city at all!"

As soon as Wang Song's words came out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Even those men with the most fighting spirit are unwilling to throw their lives under Taiyuan City in vain.

"Our army is still going north this time, and it is still mainly a sneak attack, but we must also be prepared for field battles, everyone must know that the strong army stands out from the sea of corpses and blood! If you don't fight an upright field battle, how can you deter Fanzi's dog guts!"

He pointed to the location of the Pingding Army on the map and said: "Our army is going north, if the Pingding Army and the subordinates of General Xiaozhong can't block Fanzi's attack from both sides, our army can also cover its southward movement, and it can save one person is one person, just like killing Xiongling."

"Great official, what if the pacification army is captured? You said that Fanzi is determined to win the Pingding Army and Jing Cheng! ”

One of the generals asked worriedly.

Wang Song nodded and said: "If Fanzi does not break through the Pingding Army and Jingcheng, our army can deal with Fanzi together with the small Xianggong, so that Fanzi will always have worries and cannot rest assured that he will go south!"

Li Yanxian said loudly: "What the big officials said is that Taiyuan is already in tatters, and just with these six or seven thousand recruits in our army, it is a sheep in the mouth of a tiger, and it will not play any role!" I only hope that our army can contain the Jin army on the periphery, and the soldiers in Taiyuan City can break through the siege, which is already a blessing in misfortune!"

Wang Song looked at Li Yanxian approvingly, nodded and asked, "Who is this brother's surname, has he ever been in the army before?"

Li Yanxian clasped his fists and saluted: "Back to the big official, under Li Yanxian, his ancestral home is Pengyuan, Ningzhou, and now he is from Gongzhou.

Zhang Heng said on the side: "Great official, this is the Brother Li we often mentioned to you before, he is a rare talent."

Dong Ping also said: "The big official, Brother Li Wen Taowu is still out of line in this group of brothers outside!"

Wang Song nodded, and muttered to himself while pacing: "Li Yanxian, Li Yanxian ......"

He turned his head sharply and asked, "Your Excellency, isn't it the self-recruited township soldier who reprimanded Li Gang for not knowing how to soldier, and was arrested by the imperial court Li Xiaozhong of Gongzhou?"

Li Yanxian was dumbfounded, he was incognito, and he would be known by the people in front of him. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "The big official, down there is Li Xiaozhong." The big officials can be arrested, go down and meet the people of Yousi, wait!"

"Brother Li, what you say is wrong! My brother of the loyal army, even if the emperor comes, he will not want to take it away!"

Wang Song shook his head and said, "Brother Li doesn't know, the imperial court has already pardoned your crimes!" I won't even take you to see the people in the government! Still, it's easier for you to use your current name!"

Li Yanxian, the anti-gold hero in the late Northern Song Dynasty and the early Southern Song Dynasty. Although it is not as famous as Yue Wumu, it is also a proper historical warrior.

Li Yanxian, whose real name is Li Xiaozhong. In the first year of Jingkang, Fanzi invaded Bianjing, and Li Yanxian scattered all his family wealth and recruited 3,000 strong men to enter the king of Qin.

At that time, Li Gang was ordered to pacify the two rivers, and Li Yanxian wrote a letter to impeach Li Gang for not knowing the soldiers, but he was pursued by Yousi and changed his name and fled. Later, he joined the army again.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty had died, and Hedong and Guandong had fallen. Li Yanxian's resistance to Jin made Shaanzhou exist alone for two years, and the Jurchens could not drive straight in. Li Yanxian led the army and civilians in Shaanzhou to fight more than 200 times, annihilating countless enemies, and finally fell because of the exhaustion of food. After the fall of the city, Li Yanxian threw himself into the water and died at the age of 36.

I didn't expect such a macho man to fall under his own account, which can be regarded as a "good sentence".

"This time the Jin army went south, the east road to complete Yan Zongwang's army must first take Jingcheng, the west road to complete Yan Zonghan's army must first take the Pingding army, the two armies through the two rivers, and then go down to Bianjing together."

Wang Song said loudly: "Our army left 2,000 people, all of whom withdrew to the mountains. The remaining 5,000 people will join me in the north to pacify the army and fight to the death with the Jin Yu!"

Wang Song set the final tone!

The vicissitudes of the sea show the true character of the hero. Even if you can't stop Fanzi from going south, you have to make them pay the price!
