Chapter 175: If you don't break Yan Yun, you won't return it
When the news of the Western Army's fiasco in Baigou came, Wang Xiao had already made all the preparations here.
The grain that was enough to feed the army for two years was transported to Dulonggang early, and the armor and weapons bought from the arsenal of Bianliang City were also properly equipped.
Hundreds of elite detectives had already infiltrated the Yanyun area a few months ago, and the information on all aspects had already been very detailed.
The soldiers who have been trained rigorously for a long time are already full of morale, and they want to fight with a full of anger.
Everything is ready, only the order of Bianliang City is owed.
In Bianliang City, it is now a mess.
It took countless efforts, and even made the world boiling to collect and harvest Yan donations. It has finally promoted the great cause of cutting swallows that has not been seen in a hundred years. But the result was that the army of 100,000 was beaten and almost collapsed.
The main force of the Liao army has actually been defeated by the Jin people, and the people stationed in Yanyun are just a group of remnants of defeated generals.
But this group of remnants of the army was defeated, but it was the head of the Western Army, which is known as the elite of the world, to the brink of blood.
This battle can be regarded as waking up Zhao and Song Junchen, allowing them to really see how weak the armaments of the Great Song Dynasty are.
After the initial chaos, the Great Song monarchs began to have a headache about what to do next.
Tong Guan, Liang Shicheng and others proposed to mobilize the right wing of the Japanese army stationed in the south of the Yangtze River to go north and cut down Yan again.
However, Gao Yu, Wang Huang and others said that it was best to invite Jin people to help attack Yanyun.
Anyway, Da Song has long been accustomed to spending money to eliminate disasters, and he is definitely familiar with it.
As for Cai Jing, who re-ascended to the phase, he didn't say a word, and he didn't know what he thought.
It was indeed Tong Guan who proposed to transfer Wang Xiao to the north, but Gao Yu was resolutely opposed.
Tong Guan's plan is very simple, the 100,000 Western Army has been defeated, so what is the use of the thousands of men and horses under Wang Xiao's command. Come over and lose the battle again, and you can't just let him lose face. It can also easily weaken their strength.
Gao Yu and they were unwilling to send the only soldiers and horses under their command who could fight into the fire pit, and they did their best to oppose it.
The two sides quarreled for two months, but they couldn't tell the winner.
That is, Yelu Dashi was unwilling to suffer the enemy on their backs when the Jin soldiers pressed the border, and they did not continue to pursue after defeating the Western Army. Otherwise, the Liao army may have already hit Bianliang City by now.
Zhao Ji, who was distraught, finally looked at Cai Jing.
"Official. Da Song can't afford to lose now. ”
Cai Jing did not directly say which side he supported, but directly said, "After receiving so many donations, if it ends in defeat, I am afraid that the whole world will be in turmoil." ”
The frenzied squeezing of tens of millions of Yan donations from the whole world is to recover Yanyun from the army.
If you spend so much money, you end up with a fiasco. Those people of the Great Song Dynasty who were already full of anger had not yet been swarmed by the rebels from all over the country.
"The widow knows!"
Zhao Ji waved his hand irritably, "You just say what to do." ”
"Official." Cai Jing, who has white hair, doesn't look very good, after all, he is old, "Whether it is to increase troops and fight again, or to make money, the purpose is for Yan Yun." In that case, let's just do it together. ”
"How do we do it together?"
"Mobilize the army that can fight to the north for reinforcements and fight again. If you still can't win, then ask the Jin people to send troops to help. No matter what means are used, Yan Yun must take it. ”
Zhu Mian's matter, Cai Jing was very angry.
This is obviously Liang Shicheng and Wang Hao, who teamed up to pit themselves. Now the promotion of the second cutting of swallows is just for revenge.
Cai Jing has been a prime minister for 20 years, and his understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Great Song Army is absolutely unmatched.
He knew very well that the 100,000 Western Army had been defeated, so even if he added Wu Erlang's thousands of men, it would be useless.
Since you still have to pay money in the end, let Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng make their soldiers and horses waste for a while.
Zhao Ji, who was unwilling to fail and lose face, ordered the mobilization of soldiers and horses to attack Yan for the second time after Cai Jing sent him up the steps.
This time, not only Wang Xiao's right flank of the Japanese army will go north, but the Bianliang forbidden army will also send troops and horses to the north together.
When the news came out, countless people in the Bianliang Forbidden Army immediately fell ill and asked for leave, and all kinds of people ran away from the streets, and no one was willing to send them to death.
In the end, he was forced to go on the expedition, but it almost caused a rebellion.
The forbidden army of Bianliang City joined the army for that money and food, but it was not really to go to the battlefield to work hard.
After so many years of reproduction, the relationship within the forbidden army system is complicated, and there are relatives everywhere, and there are even connections to the palace.
In the end, the matter of mobilizing the forbidden army in Bianliang City can only be over.
The only one who really went north was Commander Wang Xiao's right flank of the Japanese army.
In order to strengthen the momentum, in addition to giving more battalion heads, Wang Xiao was also allowed to recruit brave soldiers in the north to replenish the number.
In the eyes of everyone, Wang Xiao must be shirked.
After all, everyone likes to stay and enjoy in the prosperous land south of the Yangtze River, and no one wants to do such a thing as going north to die.
But what everyone didn't expect was that Wang Xiao received an order from the Privy Council to transfer troops, and he took it without hesitation. Three days later, the army set out.
He had been waiting for this day for a long time.
In the past, Wang Xiao rode horses to fight, but this time he rarely sat in a carriage.
As for the reason, it was because he brought Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang with him.
The carriage was not big, and the three people sitting were a little crowded.
Wang Xiao drank tea with a teacup, and watched Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang playing Monopoly with great interest.
"Why are you willing to bring us with you this time?" Hu Sanniang, who won two games in a row, counted the copper coins in her hand, and her beautiful phoenix eyes looked at Wang Xiao, "Didn't they all throw us down in the past." ”
Of course, it's because this time I want to cut off Yan Yun, and if I throw you down, I will become a hostage.
Wang Xiao took over the conversation, "There was no way before, but now I want to take you with me forever and never separate." ”
Zhao Fujin was gentle and sensual, and a pair of big watery eyes fell on Wang Xiao's body without blinking.
Hu Sanniang has a lively temperament, but she doesn't believe Wang Xiao's words, "Really? ”
She was wearing a lake-green dress this time, and a silver hairpin was gathered in her cloud-like hair, which set off her pretty cheeks.
Looking at Hu Sanniang, who was full of youth, Wang Xiao put down the teacup in his hand with a smile, "It's more real than real gold." Why do you guard against me like a thief all day long, am I not good to you? ”
In the rickety carriage, Zhao Fujin's laughter sounded.
The laughter was heard, and soon dissipated into the winding procession outside.
The official road leading to the Daimyo's Mansion was already covered by soldiers and horses that could not be seen at a glance.
Wang Xiao took out the self-made playing cards from the wooden box on the side, "Let's play the landlord, whoever loses will kiss and win, how about it." ”
"Isn't that what you are doing?"
"I want to kiss you and use this?"
"Let's play with copper coins."
"Okay, I'm going to have to win you as a skirt today."
------
Wang Xiao has seen it, and he has personally experienced many battlefields.
He knows very well how terrible the devastating power of a war can be on people's livelihoods, and it is a truly devastating disaster.
As soon as the war began, the most unlucky were civilians.
The armies of both sides opened up a fight, and men, women, and children within a radius of 100 miles were arrested and used as cannon fodder for the people.
Soldiers are meant to fight, and their strength cannot be used for all kinds of trivial matters.
Encampment, boiling water and cutting firewood, transporting baggage, digging trenches and rejecting horses, etc., are all done by the people.
People will be taken away, food will be harvested, and even houses will be torn down to make raw materials.
The fields were barren and the houses were turned into white land. The battle has not yet started in front, and there are already corpses everywhere in the back.
In ancient times, the common people desperately wanted to get rid of forced labor, especially as a civilian man to follow the army to the front line, that is, because nine times out of ten, those who went had to bury their bones in a foreign land.
When Wang Xiao came to Baigou, he was full of devastation as far as he could see.
In the fields, there are wild weeds growing everywhere. In the village, every house is in ruins. Beside the ravine, a skeleton is buried in it.
Xing, the people are bitter. Death, the people suffer.
The white bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing for thousands of miles. Wei Wu's poem tells the truth of the war.
In the distance, a group of cavalry roared towards him, led by a young general with a Liao captive under his arm.
When he came to Wang Xiao's horse, the young general still held the prisoner in front of Wang Xiao, turned over and dismounted and saluted.
"The last general, Yang Zaixing, was ordered to rob and kill the Liao people and stop the people, and he will return to his life here."
This time, all the units of the Western Army were waiting in the rear hundreds of miles away to watch the play.
said that it was to support the Japanese army, but Wang Xiao knew very well that Tong Guan was sending himself to death, and there would definitely not be a single soldier to reinforce him.
"It's better that way."
For Wang Xiao, it is a good thing that no one comes to disturb and contain it.
The only people he needs to deal with are the Liao people, and he doesn't need to worry about being attacked on his back.
looked at Yang Zaixing, who had not yet grown a beard in front of him, and had a childish face. Wang Xiao smiled: "What is the movement of the Liao people?" ”
"The last general traveled sixty miles and never encountered the Liao brigade. I only encountered a grain convoy heading in the direction of Wuqing. On the way back, he encountered a group of Liao people who were far away, beheaded thirteen levels, and captured one person. ”
Wang Xiao exclaimed, "Well done." Take him down and interrogate him severely. ”
Yang Zaixing received the order, picked up the Liao people and walked to the rear.
The Song army's scouting horses were generally a team of ten horsemen. When encountering more than ten equally elite cavalry Liao people who can fight and win the war, it can only be said that Yang Zaixing is worthy of his reputation.
Previously, Wang Xiao's army went all the way north along the Grand Canal, turned to Kaedok Province in Jeju, and recruited brave soldiers in the area of Xiangzhou.
After spending all the money given by the imperial court, he went north to the Daimyo's Mansion and went north along Hebei East Road all the way to Xiongzhou.
From Tong Guan onwards, no one of the generals of the Western Army received Wang Xiao, and all the people who came forward were the small roles of some military capital Yu Hou.
If you think about it, you can understand that the Western Army was defeated so miserably. Naturally, he had no face to face Wang Xiao who came with reinforcements.
In addition, Tong Guan wanted to pit Wang Xiao, so the Western Army naturally hid in the fortified cities everywhere and licked his wounds and couldn't come out. They all watched Wang Xiao go deep alone.
For these Western troops who were broken, Wang Xiao didn't have time to appease them.
In his eyes, there was only Yan Yun.
"This is the White Ditch."
Wang Xiao raised his horsewhip and signaled to the many soldiers behind him.
"One hundred and fifty years! After the Northern Expedition of Yongxi, my Han family has not set foot in this homeland for 150 years! Today, we are going to cross the white ditch. ”
"You have only taken a small step, but in the history books, it is a two-hundred-year expectation! Onward, reclaim this homeland! If you don't break Yanyun, you won't pay it back! ”
The soldiers of the Han family were enthusiastic, raising their swords and roaring.
"If you don't break Yanyun, you won't pay it back!!"
Wang Xiao's horsewhip fell, pointing north.
"Cross the river."
