In order to avoid the jealousy of the imperial court and avoid the scrutiny of the Privy Council, Liu Zhenglong's command has always claimed that there are 30,000 cavalry Long Wei Army, 30,000 Sailor Thunderbolt Army, and 40,000 infantry Long Xiang Army, which is a 100,000 forbidden army specially approved by the government. Of course, the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty is almost almost full, and it is good to have six achievements, and 100,000 is basically 60,000. Only the army under Liu Zhenglong is full, and it is seriously overstaffed, almost more than doubled, and all the defeated cavalry is only stationed in the northwest, and the outside world does not know!

Just when Han Shizhong was thinking nonsense, the scout who went out to inquire from a distance came to report in a panic, saying that three thousand forbidden troops had been found five miles ahead, and even worse, they had been discovered by the Jin army.

Han Shizhong stumbled when he heard the scout's words, and he roared angrily: "Nervous fart, five miles, the Jin army will be killed in one sprint, and you will die in a panic, do you want to die?" ”

"I don't want to, listen to the command." It's one thing for the scouts to complain, but when it comes to saving their lives, they all rely on Han Shizhong, and they can only save their lives by following the head of the capital.

Before the war, you can't just shout slogans, Han Shizhong's head is bright, and he shouted loudly as soon as he had an idea: "Qin Guogong will soon patrol Hebei, the treatment of the forbidden army will be greatly improved, and the arrears of military salaries will be replenished." Today, for those who died in battle, the pension is tripled. Of course, I still hope that you can save your life, so we have to play to our strengths and not sit idly by. ”

At the time of life and death, no one is not afraid of death, there is no need to mobilize, and it is also the life of the three armed forces. These scouts are all human spirits on the battlefield, and they can't survive if they don't have a smart head, and when they save their lives, the combat effectiveness that bursts out is far from being comparable to half of the soldiers.

Han Shizhong judged that the 3,000-strong Jin State cavalry should have come out to threshk grass, to put it bluntly, there were heavy supplies, the speed would not be too fast, and he still had time to prepare, he said loudly: "Su Yunge, the captain of the first squad, you lead the first squad to fight on the high ground in front of it, which proves that the line is facing the Jin army." Wang Kai, you lead the third team to Qiaojiazhuang in the back, there should be bows and arrows there, you go and organize it, and let them organize the people to evacuate to Yanshan Mansion. Liang Qi, you lead the second squad to hide behind the first squad and greet the enemy with crossbow arrows. The fourth squad followed me to kill me, and after a while, they hurried to cut the banner of the Jin Army, and kept shouting that reinforcements would arrive soon. ”

The pressure of the thirty people in the fourth squad is the greatest, it can be said that it is a death squad, so Han Shizhong personally led it, he knew that those people who shot with bows and arrows were just pretending, giving the Jin army the feeling that reinforcements were coming soon, and in fact they were useless, if they couldn't withstand the first wave of the Jin army's impact, then the second squad and the third squad would not be needed.

At this time, the three thousand Jin cavalry arrived, sure enough, it was a threshing grass team, and the speed of action with the looted materials behind was not fast, there were countless Song army deserters in front of the Jin army, this group of guys didn't know whether they lost the battle, or fled when they saw the Jin army, in a word, desperately ran ahead, many soldiers even lost their weapons, and looked very embarrassed.

When he saw this group of deserters, Han Shizhong had a bottom, and he said: "Zhang Qi, the captain of the fourth squad, you go over and bring this defeated army over and tell them that the reinforcements are not far away, if they flee without permission, they will not be spared, and they can't outrun the pursuit of the cavalry." ”

The two or three thousand Song army was really not defeated by the Jin army, and after Wang Ping, the commander of the capital, saw the Jin army, he began to run with his men, and now he is exhausted from running, and he really can't run. Seeing that there are scouts intercepting in front, according to this guy's understanding, when the scouts come out to inquire about intelligence, the army should not be too far apart, and in this case, it is better to let it go.

Wang Ping shouted loudly: "Brothers, it's not okay to run, there is our army in front, and the brothers stayed and fought with that group of bastards." ”

Run, I really can't run, in this case, there is no need for Wang Ping to mobilize, these Song troops finally stopped running, these guys gasped one by one, like huskies.

It's okay for this bunch of rubbish to make up the numbers, but if they fight with the Jin army, it's a joke. Han Shizhong knew this very well, and he didn't expect this, as long as it was shouting and cheering.

Kill out, kill out, only by killing can you solve the problem, Han Shizhong knew that he couldn't dodge, he waved the horse lance in his hand and was ready to fight.

This Jin army is actually a vassal army, mainly Bohai people, some Khitans, some Liaodi Han people, and some Goryeo people. But when he saw that there was a Song army in front of him, and the number was not very large, he was ready to eat the other party.

Commander Ma Fulong is an extremely cautious man, he is not willing to take risks, it is obvious that there are only a hundred or so people in front of him who dare to hold on, this is not logical, maybe there is a large army behind him.

In the past nearly a year, the Jin army has won every provocation, but the more cautious it becomes, for fear that the Song army will make a big counterattack. So the more times they win, the more cautious the Jin army becomes, and the less they dare to take risks.

If it was the cavalry of the Jin Kingdom, they would not hesitate to kill it, but this vassal army of threshing grass hesitated, which gave Han Shizhong time to deploy and missed the best opportunity to kill.

Kill out, just when this vassal army hesitated, Han Shizhong led the cavalry to kill out, and this fierce general rushed into the enemy camp first, stabbing seven or eight soldiers to death one after another.

The encouraged scouts rushed in and fought bravely to kill the enemy, and kept cutting down the banner of the Jin army, killing it again and again, while shouting: "The Jin army is defeated, and our reinforcements will arrive soon." ”

Wang Ping didn't expect Han Shizhong to be so brave, this guy and his group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals began to shout: "The Jin army is defeated, the Jin army is defeated." ”

The first time the Jin army encountered the Song army's active attack, it was a little flustered for a while, but it quickly stabilized its position and began to counterattack.

Withdraw, when the Jin army counterattacked, Han Shizhong retreated with the scouts, and the Jin army chased after him.

Just when the Jin army was about to catch up, the first scout team rushed down against Su Yunge and led the scouts, condescending, and the impact was still spectacular, and at this time, Han Shizhong turned his horse's head and killed the enemy group.

Seeing that the two sides were inseparable, Wang Ping suddenly saw a large number of people coming in the distance, this guy's first reaction was that the reinforcements had arrived, and he shouted loudly: "Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived, kill them." ”

Wang Ping's men entered the battle group, and while rushing, they shouted loudly: "Reinforcements have arrived, reinforcements have arrived, and the Jin army has been defeated." ”

Ma Fulong saw the reinforcements of the Song army from a distance, and his first reaction was to be fooled, this guy hurriedly led the army to retreat and fled in a hurry.

When the reinforcements arrived, it was just a group of young men from the Bow and Arrow Club, and the young man was called Yang An'er, a young man who had been practicing martial arts since he was a child and had never met a talented person. According to Lizheng's point of view, it is the business of soldiers to fight, and everyone should flee.

At this time, Wang Ping could see clearly that the so-called reinforcements were just a group of dirt buns, and he said to Han Shizhong: "You are too bold, a hundred or so people dare to carry it with the Jin army, you don't want to die?" ”

"The problem is that we won, and the three thousand people of the Jin army were defeated." Han Shizhong looked down on the other party, and he said coldly: "The Jin army killed by Qin Guogong's men was defeated in Yunzhou, which shows that the Jin army is not as strong as the legend, as long as we have the courage to attack, we will definitely be able to repel it." ”

"Yes, the Jin people are not so terrible, when they come, Lao Tzu will fight with them." Yang An'er is only in her early twenties, and she is bold, and her bones are full of unconvincing.

"There's your turn to speak." Wang Ping didn't dare to provoke Han Shizhong, but it didn't mean that Yang An'er was allowed to be presumptuous, and the leather whip in his hand slapped the other party's face fiercely.

The leather whip mark on his face deeply stimulated Yang An'er's self-esteem, he didn't speak, and left with the Bow and Arrow Society to delay the good brothers.

Wang Ping didn't know, and Han Shizhong didn't know either, a generation of famous generals Yang An'er passed by the imperial court like this, and he was already the leader of tens of thousands of elite soldiers under his command when he took the stage again, of course, this is all a later story.

won the war, for Wang Ping has enough capital to brag, after this guy went back, he bragged a lot, and soon he was promoted, who made the cousin of the family Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Youzhou?

Han Shizhong is unlucky, you must know that mentioning Liu Zhenglong, the Duke of Qin, in the Hebei Army, is a big deal, and it will be punished, but this guy's level is too low, and there is no way to demote again, after all, the ability is obvious to all, but it is normal to be wearing small shoes, as for the arrears of military salaries, don't think about it.

On the evening of October 20, Han Shizhong was drinking alone, and the squad leader Su Yunge walked in, and this guy poured wine for Han Shizhong while lowering his voice and said: "Boss, if the military salary is not paid in this way, the brothers will not be able to do it anymore." ”

"I also know, but people don't send it, what can I do."

"Boss, have you ever thought about going to the Longxiang Army, the treatment there is the same as that of the three armies in the capital, the pension is doubled, the military salary is never deducted, and the promotion is based on military merit, and the discipline is strict."

Han Shizhong was immediately alert, he stared at Su Yunge and said: "How can a soldier choose where to go by himself, if he is caught, he is a deserter, and he must be assigned to the army." ”

"The Long Xiang army does not pay attention to this, only looks at loyalty and bravery. Besides, Qin Guogong's Long Xiang Army is also a forbidden army of the imperial court, and you also worship Qin Guogong, why don't you bring your brothers over? ”

Han Shizhong shook his head, he didn't want to be a deserter, in that case, even if he went to the Longxiang Army, he would be looked down upon, and the great hero in his heart, Qin Guogong, was no longer in charge of the army.

Su Yunge seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, he lowered his voice and said: "Boss, if you really don't want to go to the Longxiang Army, then let's go to Zhaozhou, this is finally okay, where the brothers will not be without military salaries." ”

"What do you mean by that?"

"Zhaozhou regimental training envoy Sun Qi is a member of the Pan family, the people on the Pan family's side are not short of money, this is the consensus, the brothers are not easy, if you don't even have military salary, I'm afraid it will be very troublesome in the future."

Han Shizhong quickly realized that Su Yunge had a problem, but he didn't explain it thoroughly, no matter what he said, he couldn't let his brothers suffer with him. Besides, he is not welcomed, and if he applies to go to Zhaozhou, absolutely no one will set up obstacles.

Sure enough, Han Shizhong's application was quickly approved, this guy went to Zhaozhou and received a welcome, not because he was a talent, the most important thing is that Sun Qi can't stay in Zhaozhou anymore, this guy has a sensitive sense of smell, and knows that Jin Guo will take Zhaozhou sooner or later, in this case, it is safe to go early.

It's not impossible to go, the Pan family has agreed to operate, the key is that someone must take over Zhaozhou, otherwise Sun Qi will be arrested immediately if he leaves without permission.

If you want to doze off, someone sent a pillow, and now that Han Shizhong is here, of course Sun Qi welcomes it, this guy said with a smile: "Looking at the Great Song Forbidden Army, you dare to lead a hundred people against the three thousand Jin Army, you are the only one, brother admires." ”

"My lord smiled, I was caught up by the Jin army, if it weren't for Wang Pingdu, my little people would not be enough for the Jin army to stuff his teeth?" Han Shizhong knew that once he didn't deal well with this Sun Qi, then his military career would be completely over.

Be polite, the core content should be talked about, Sun Qi picked up Han Shizhong at night and washed the dust.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Sun Qi said: "Since Brother Han has made such a great contribution, he should be promoted, why did he transfer to my small place." You must know that Zhaozhou is pitiful, there are only 3,000 troops in the full battle, and there is no future here, brother, I am ready to transfer back, what can you do here. ”

"Hey, it's hard to put into words." Although Han Shizhong was not good at words, he was a little drunk, but he still told the ins and outs of the matter, and finally he said: "It was Wang Ping who was promoted, and I was unlucky, if it wasn't for the fact that the official was too young, I would have been removed a long time ago." ”

"What a bunch of bastards." Sun Qi pretended to be righteous and scolded a few words, and finally the guy said: "Have you ever thought about being a regimental training envoy?" Of course, it is a box army, and the treatment cannot be compared with the forbidden army. ”

"I hope Lord Sun will help me."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say, the Pan family attaches great importance to talents, and they won't let you wear it out. You just wait for news. ”

Under the recommendation of Sun Qi, the Pan family operated, and finally Han Shizhong became the training envoy of the Zhaozhou regiment, and was allowed to expand to 5,000, and the military salary was directly distributed by the Privy Council.

How can Sun Qi have such a big face, the Pan family has a department dedicated to network talents, and Pan Jing is in charge, there is a list provided by Liu Zhenglong, among which Han Shizhong, who ranks among the top three, has appeared, how can the Pan family not pay attention to it, otherwise how can it be allowed to be expanded? It's just that the Pan family has always been cautious in doing things, and they don't want some subordinates to put Han Shizhong in too important positions.

Of the five thousand van troops, three thousand of them were re-recruited, and one thousand of the original three thousand were all empty salaries, but this was very common, and Han Shizhong didn't say anything. It is not easy to recruit Han people, but it is still very easy to recruit Khitans, this guy is a little ruthless in his heart, and he directly recruited 5,000 people, so that there are 7,000 people under his command, which is absolutely illegal, the key is that the military salary allocated by the Privy Council is 5,000 people, what to do with the other 2,000, you must know that these Khitans, no money is absolutely impossible.

Han Shizhong can be said to be poor and white, where can he afford to raise those 2,000 soldiers? In the end, it was Sun Qi's idea, that is, to ask the Pan family, as for how to speak, that is, to ask the Pan family to send someone to inspect, then everything is not a problem.

Han Shizhong is a little big, he is not strictly speaking a member of the Pan family, how can he ask for this? He said to Sun Qi with a sad face: "Brother Sun, you are sending the Buddha to the West Heaven and help me again." ”

"Okay, after I go back, I'll help you solve this problem, as for whether you can solve the problem of military salary, it depends on how you behave at that time."

How to behave, Han Shizhong is not worried, he believes that with his military talent, it is definitely not a problem.

Sure enough, Pan Jing personally came to Zhaozhou, he just came to see how Han Shizhong led the troops, you must know that five thousand newly recruited recruits, plus two thousand old fritters, it is difficult to form combat effectiveness in a short time.

Is this the Xiang Army? Pan Jing didn't expect that in just half a month, this group of recruits was trained by Han Shizhong to be more disciplined than the forbidden army, and their mental outlook was very good, of course.

Money is not a problem for the Pan family, Pan Jing and Han Shizhong talked for a long time.

The Pan family has always been very low-key to the outside world, and now it is even more low-key, but on some issues, Pan Jing did not hide anything, he bluntly said to Han Shizhong: "Due to Tong Guan's incompetence, the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty was despised by the Jin army, which stimulated the ambition of the Jin people to go south. The Jin army was not provoking, but observing, to see how powerful the Great Song was, so as to judge whether to invade south. It's a pity that Tong Guan can't see this, and neither can the imperial court. However, soldiers have the duty to protect their homes and defend their land, no matter what happens to the outside world, you must play the prestige of the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army in Zhaozhou. ”

"Hehe, my lord, you are smiling, this is only a seven-thousand-chamber army, how to fight the majesty of the Great Song Forbidden Army."

"It's true that there are 7,000 Xiang troops, but the military salary and soldier death pension all refer to the standard of the forbidden army, and the insufficient part is made up by the Pan family. I hope that within a year, you will be able to expand the army to more than 10,000, and military pay is not a problem, you only need to think about military training. "Pan Jing came this time with a family mission, that is, to investigate the Han Shizhong in front of him for Liu Zhenglong.

The two most standard ways to test generals are the first is to achieve military exploits, and the second is to lead troops. These two points are very straightforward and effective. Pan Jing believes that the Han Shizhong in front of him is a talent, and it depends on how far he can go in the end.

When Pan Jing left, he said to Han Shizhong: "The sea is wide and the fish can jump, and the sky is high and the birds can fly." The outside world is very big, and our Pan family will build a platform for you. It's not a secret, what you can achieve in the end depends on whether you can meet the requirements of Long Xiangjun, and you can understand it yourself. Hebei is about to go to war, and it won't last long, and your chance to show your skills is coming. ”

Han Shizhong is not good at expression and can't say anything grandiose, but he firmly believes that he can prove it to everyone that his army will definitely reach the level of the Longxiang Army in the future.

After Pan Jing left, Su Yunge said to Han Shizhong: "My lord, this time the Pan family has spent a lot of money, and the military salary of 7,000 people can be easily solved, and this son of the Pan family is also a talent." ”

"Now, you're satisfied."

"My lord, why do you say that?"

Han Shizhong said with a smile: "I don't know you yet, you should have been loyal to that side a long time ago, otherwise you wouldn't have encouraged me to join the Pan family, let's say it, it's all my own people, I won't blame you." ”

"Big brother, I'm sorry, I did take refuge in Dragon's Breath. However, I am indeed doing this for your own good, big brother, only in the Long Xiang Army can there be a future, and the brothers can have a head. ”

"Okay, then you can talk about it briefly, and let me know a thing or two." Han Shizhong really wanted to understand, he felt that Qin Guogong was about the same age as himself, why did people climb so high, he was already a Guogong, and he was only one step away from the power of the government and the opposition. It's only a matter of time before he enters the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister, and he, if it weren't for this opportunity, would still be a small scout.

How much can Su Yunge know about Liu Zhenglong, it's only half-understood, most of it is hearsay, but these people really like to add oil and vinegar in the process of spreading, and after countless people add it, the jade-faced god of war is directly mythologized.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. Although most of what Han Shizhong heard was processed and exaggerated, he still had a rough outline of Liu Zhenglong's understanding. This person is a generation of heroes if he sounds good, and he is a super bully if he says he doesn't sound good. It can be said that many things are despised by honest people, but it is such a super bully who has become a big man.

Every step looked thrilling, but every step was finally verified to be correct, which made Han Shizhong puzzled, he didn't understand how a god-like character like Liu Zhenglong could fall into the grass and become the king of the mountain, have the courage to snatch the birth gang, and let Chao Gai carry the black cauldron. Of course, at that time, Liu Zhenglong was still a bandit leader, and it was understandable to do so. But how did he have the courage to kill the 'King of the Southeast' Zhu Mian and embezzle tens of millions of dollars, which is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The incidents are vivid, and Han Shizhong vaguely understands that this man is ostensibly a big Song super bully, but he is greedy for money, lustful, and bold, but in fact, everything he does is well-thought out and carefully planned. On the surface, it is frightening step by step, but in fact, it is rising step by step, but it does not follow the usual path, and it seems absurd to the outside world. In fact, Liu Zhenglong is definitely a generation of heroes, starting from scratch, to achieve the king of the torn soil, it is absolutely impossible to achieve without so many plans.

There is a world of difference, at this time, Han Shizhong finally lowered his noble head, he no longer pursued so many vain things, and began to train people wholeheartedly, hoping to defeat the Jin army in one fell swoop when the Jin army invaded in the future.

Han Shizhong has been studying Liu Zhenglong's glorious battle examples, and what he admires the most is the battle of winning the Jin King Li Chage, it can be said that every link seems to be calculated, interlocking, and it can be determined to eat the 100,000 cavalry before the war starts. There has never been such a precedent in warfare throughout history. Even if Sun Wu is reincarnated, he can see that he has planned so carefully.

Some people are destined to be kings, of course, some people are destined to be ministers, Han Shizhong finally understood that Liu Zhenglong is the sky, and he only has the share of surrender in this life, and there is absolutely no possibility of transcendence.

Now Han Shizhong has completely calmed down, conscientiously trained the Xiang Army, familiarized himself with military books and war strategies, and constantly improved his military accomplishment.

Everything Han Shizhong found in Zhaozhou is just a microcosm of the Great Song Forbidden Army in Hebei, and a positive epitome. The real mainstream is not like this, it is almost a disgrace in military history. It can't be said to be a fight between soldiers at all, it is simply a complete abuse by the Jin army.

Since ancient times, civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, but this sentence is on Hebei Road and in Yanshan Mansion. That's just a fantasy, it's definitely a civil official who is greedy for money, and a military general is afraid of death.

Wang Anzhong, the prefect of Yanshan, is a greedy person who is afraid of death, and he is also greedy for money and lustful, this guy can't wait to dig three feet into the ground in Yanshan Mansion and dig out the gold and silver treasures buried in the ground.

The entire Youzhou Mansion was cleaned up with a miasma, chickens and dogs. Countless Khitans left their homeland to defect to the Jin, and countless Liaodi Han'er no longer regarded themselves as Han people, nor did they accept this Han prefect who was rampant and tyrannical.

The description in the official newspaper is not bad at all, that is, Youzhou City has long been an empty city, but the common people were not forcibly snatched back by the Jin people, and they can't bear the tyranny of Wang Anzhong.

The rich people were almost ransacked, except for the poor in Youzhou City, there were soldiers left, how long can this situation be maintained, Wang Anzhong himself did not believe this, for fear that he would be trapped in Youzhou City that day.

Wang Anzhong is Tong Guan's cronies, and before Tong Guan didn't speak, even if he didn't want to stay, he could only stay in Youzhou City obediently, and it was not so easy to leave.

The most troublesome thing for Wang Anzhong is that the resentful army led by Guo Yaoshi keeps asking for military salaries, and you must know that a large part of the military salaries allocated from the Privy Council have been taken away by Tong Shuxiang.

The military salary that can go to Youzhou is not very much, coupled with Guo Yaoshi's greed for empty salary, this is destined to be tight in funds, in this state, the contradiction between Wang Anzhong and Guo Yaoshi is becoming more and more acute, although it has not reached the point of saber rattling, but the two have begun to participate in each other, hoping to transfer the place.

One mountain can't accommodate two tigers, can the officials not understand this truth? It's just that in the Great Song Dynasty, which is in the world of civil officials, he generally favors civil officials, which is very clear to Zhao Ji of Song Huizong, he doesn't want to change the prefect of Yanshan, he just wants Tong Guan to clean up this mess.

I don't want to change the prefect, but it is even more unrealistic to change the guards, you must know that the most familiar with the Youzhou region is the commander of the resentful army, Guo Yaoshi, in this case, once the relationship between the two deteriorates, it is absolutely irreconcilable. In this way, the court turned a blind eye as if nothing had happened, which was doomed to be difficult to end once it happened.

The official family looked at the chapter written by Guo Yaoshi, not only urging the military salary, but also begging the imperial court to expel the prefect Wang Anzhong from Youzhou Mansion, and begging the imperial court to increase the garrison on the north side of the river to prevent the Jin army from invading south.
