The successful opening of the Western Regions was expected by Yang Lin, but he was still a little excited.

The Qarakhanid Dynasty has a unique geographical location, connecting China and the West. At its strongest, it was once considered to be on par with the Central Plains Dynasty and ahead of the world.

It is precisely because of their infinite wealth that they quickly become corrupt and degenerate, and their interiors are full of holes and are vulnerable.

As soon as Xu Zhihui's recital was handed over, Yang Lin was ready to leave Mizhou, even in order to avoid suspicion, he couldn't stay in Mizhou at this time.

After all, these two eunuchs are about to die in Mizhou, and if they are here, they will inevitably be talked about. Yang Lin has already made up his mind, this time he will not back down and compromise, Liang Shicheng's old dog's paws will be chopped off for him.

Out of Bianliang, in the border of the east, west, north and south, the name of Liang Yinxiang is not as useful as my Yang Shaozai.

On the outskirts of Banqiao Town, the officials of Mizhou Port raised their hands to say goodbye, and when they were reluctant, the nearly 1,000 soldiers of the Banzai Battalion surrounded Yang Lin and marched to the harbor, waving flags along the way.

Yang Lin was very low-key when he came, but when he left, he wanted everyone to know that the official had left early, and no matter what storms and waves broke out in this Mizhou Port, it was the people's grievances boiling, and it had nothing to do with me.

The officials of Mizhou Port, everyone had a trace of excitement in their eyes, if Yang Lin didn't come to this trip, but gave them an order in Bianliang, they might do it, but they were definitely not as relieved as they are now.

Yang Lin is the Dinghai Divine Needle of their department, since ancient times, it is not uncommon for places to worship the yang and yin of the imperial court, why? It is this kind of powerful figure who can represent the interests of one party and has enough sheltering power.

Michigan is so prosperous now, from the officials to the people, which does not benefit. If anyone reaches out and wants to cut off everyone's financial route, it's no wonder if they don't fight with you.

After the big ship set off, it went straight to Tianjin Port, but Yang Lin didn't know that the war had already ignited at this time.

Han Shizhong returned to Youyan, and after his meritorious service, he was promoted to the third level and became the envoy of the Pinglu Army, and the three armies were all under control, and he was in charge of the soldiers and horses at the Youyan border pass. This is also the Jurchen soldiers coming to the city, and the court is willing to delegate power in this way, otherwise it will be difficult for the military generals to achieve this position.

Han Shizhong's return did not arouse the slightest jealousy from Zong Ze, and he even breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling quite relaxed in his heart. He was more or less nervous to deal with those ferocious barbarians outside the Great Wall, and he had no doubt about Han Shizhong's ability to command troops.

After arriving at Yandi, without stopping for a moment, Han Shizhong went straight to the Great Wall with a few personal guards.

The Jurchens drove the Liao people to transport supplies in a steady stream, and they could be seen from the Great Wall, Han Shizhong frowned and asked, "How long have the Jurchen Tartars been preparing for war?" ”

The young general of the beacon tower replied: "It has been like this since they came, and it has been going on for two months. ”

"Our Great Song Dynasty military horses, who have not obtained the fashion of the Great Wall and know how to take the initiative to forge ahead, how to take the old Ping Domain, we are confident, but we are afraid of our hands and feet, and sit back and watch the enemy army replenish. The order was passed down, the drum of the summoning generals was sounded, and the generals of the three armies were summoned to discuss the initiative. ”

As soon as this remark came out, the atmosphere at the border was solemn, and the Great Song Dynasty was used to it for a long time... This Youyan is already an unexpected joy, and after winning it, the whole country is jubilant, and no one has thought of taking the initiative to fight north.

After Han Shizhong came back, a simple remark changed the strategy of the border pass. The tone is to wait for the enemy to attack, it is better to take the initiative while they are still preparing.

The condescending soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty turned from a sneak attack to a large-scale attack. The elusive light horseman, the ghost generally specializes in the transport team of the Jurchen Tartars. He shouted and set fire everywhere, fought with a small group of enemies, and turned around and fled when he encountered a large number of people.

At dusk, the wolf smoke was billowing out, and Song Jin and the two groups were fighting.

A stout and short Tatar leader swung the gun in his hand like a whirlwind, and dropped the sharp arrows one by one, and the Jurchen army behind him swept like a fire, the horses' hooves roared, and the earthquake was regrettable. The charging knight let out a terrifying roar, and the sound was extremely terrifying, and no one would believe that it was an imposing force made by less than a hundred people unless they saw it with their own eyes.

On the side of the Song array, the cavalry was in front, like a flood out of the gate, the light armored cavalry rained arrows, each shot three arrows and slowly rode aside, and the heavy armored cavalry then pounced, and the iron flow of the Tartars converged together.

People turn on their backs, flesh and blood fly, from time to time people are picked off, cut down, stabbed down, flesh and blood battlefield, everyone is desperately squandering this life, just now is still sacrificing life to kill others, may now be a pile of meat under the horse's hooves.

Although the Tartars were brave, they couldn't stand the Song people and came prepared, so they took the lead in the ambush, and had an absolute numerical advantage, and slowly completed the encirclement and strangulation.

The smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated, and the bloody smell was still clearly audible, and I saw a general in armor, wearing a light cyan cloak, standing calmly in the army, watching his subordinates sweep the battlefield. This person is Han Shizhong, beside him, Zong Ze gasped, and said hatefully: "Nearly a thousand people ambushed and beat a hundred people, and there are still so many dead and injured soldiers, alas! ”

Han Shizhong's eyes widened, and he said nonchalantly: "This is not bad, the day before yesterday in the Gubei Pavilion, I killed three hundred of my brothers, and I didn't kill the Tartars. ”

Jurchen soldiers and horses up to now, a Mouke is only a hundred people, this Song army was established not long ago, and encountering them in the field is really a life and death experience.

It is only in this kind of battle that a strong army can be sharpened to deal with the great war that everyone knows will break out in the autumn. If we blindly pursue temporary comfort, when the time comes, the disparity in the combat power of the enemy and us will make people desperate.

Zong Ze also knew that what he said made sense, and when he was in charge of the overall situation, he was indeed a little conservative. only thinking about operating the Great Wall and stabilizing the defense, there is no long-term thinking of this old Western army.

He looked at the wounded soldiers who were supporting each other, and said: "The fourth wave of the consolation army of Mizhou City has arrived in Tianjin Port, and during this period of time, they will escort some items to the labor army every half month, such as rice and noodles, meat and vegetables, fruits and vegetables, fish and eggs, mung beans to prevent heatstroke, plague disease, diarrhea and stomach pain, and gold sore medicine for knife wounds and arrow wounds. ”

Han Shizhong finally showed a smile, turned around and said: "With Yang Shaozai, it is much more comfortable to fight, when we were in the northwest... Hehe, don't say it! ”

Although Zong Ze has not been in the Western Army, he has also heard that the Western Army has been confronting Xia thieves all year round, and the battles have lasted for a hundred years, but he is often owed military salaries.

After ascending the throne today, even for three consecutive years, not a single rice was allocated to the northwest. It is no wonder that these arrogant generals from Qin Long often lack respect for the imperial court, and inadvertently say some rebellious nonsense.

The sky was getting darker and darker, Han Shizhong waved his hand and ordered: "Burn the corpses of the Tartars, collect the troops and return to the camp!" ”
