Crossing the river, Wang Yuan's heart was full of excitement, although it was just a river, it could be regarded as standing at the boundary of Fanguo. However, Wang Yuan is not a scribe, and he is not so poetic if he wants to express his feelings. There were already sentinels in front of them to explore the way, and when the whole army of 7,000 men and horses had crossed the boundary river, it was late at night. Wang Yuan took the lead and headed north along the road. Along the way, it is different from this dynasty, there are no people for a hundred miles, let the horses gallop for half an hour, the first important town of the Liao State encountered is Rongcheng, but it is a pity that Rongcheng is too close to the front line of the boundary river, the Liao people have few troops this time, the city wall of Rongcheng is low, not enough to defend, and the Liao army has already withdrawn from Rongcheng. At this time, the city gate was opened, only the people in the city who had no time to escape were trapped in the city, and each family closed their doors, Wang Yuan let the soldiers and horses stay, and rested for a while, followed by Xin Xingzong and led most of the rear army into Rongcheng, it was midnight, Xin Xingzong did not have time to change his armor, and said to Wang Yuan: "Wang Tong is assured to attack, I will ask Tong Xuanshuai for General Wang." Wang commanded first, and then I rushed to Fan Village to camp and intercept Xiao Gan's army, and General Wang only assured that he would fight. After speaking, he went into the room to write a secret report to Tong Guan to report the good news.

Wang Yuan led his troops to eat and repair in the city, and early the next morning, he came out of Rongcheng and went north along the east bank of Laishui, and rushed to Dingxing County. Dingxing is also the city gate open, and there is no soldier left, and Rongcheng is the same. Wang Yuan didn't even stop his troops and horses, so he hurried all the way to the north, and after another sixty miles, it was the Laishui camp of Xiao Gan's garrison. Fifty miles to the east, it is where the Yelu Stone of the East Route Army of the Liao Army is located. It's just that Yelu Dashi is facing the Great Song East Route Army across the river, and it is also powerless to support it, let alone divide troops to intercept and attack.

Along the way, the sentinels sent out by Wang Yuan also encountered several distant stops from the Liao army, but the guards saw it from a distance and left. Wang Yuan saw that the Liao country was depopulated and the fields were barren, and he firmly believed that the Liao army was insufficient this time. Along the way, Dingxing and Xincheng are just empty cities, which is proof.

Wang Yuan thought about this, so he no longer had any scruples, and ordered the whole army to march at full speed, approaching Zhuozhou, the throat of Yanjing of the Liao people.

Zhuozhou controls the danger of the West Mountain, according to the upstream trend, the north leads to the upper valley, overlooking the Guannan, as long as it occupies Zhuozhou, it is to choke the throat of Yanjing. At that time, with the merit of swooping into battle, the vanguard galloping in, and the destruction of the thief and enemy, there is also the strength of the thief, the city is stable, and the victor can defeat the enemy, this is a miracle feat. Wang Yuan looked back, and his subordinates seemed to be thinking like him, and everyone had excited expressions on their faces, and everyone felt that taking Zhuozhou was already like turning their palms. The abundant grassland by the river can not keep the heart of the galloping horses, and the sweat on the body can not stop everyone's idea of winning the fame and reward, a team of Song officers and soldiers with bows and guns, as if they have seen all the Chang'an flowers in one day, followed behind Wang Yuan, and rushed to the Laishui camp outside Zhuozhou.

In the big tent of the Song Army's East Road Army, the master Dao sat on the chair with a calm face, and the hand of the scribe dressed in a green cloth robe slapped heavily on the table, and his thin figure was also shocked by the table, followed by the hot pain in the palm. But He Shu can't take care of it anymore, he is fifty years old, he seems to have returned to the boyhood of the scholarly business, and every day he dreams of becoming a scholar general who sweeps away the emperors for the Great Song Dynasty and protects the land and the people. He Shu had great ambitions, he guarded the border state for Jun Zhen, and also presented a phoenix bow, which made the border enemies fearful. Now with the Great Song Dynasty army for more than a hundred years of Liao, seeing that the breath is dying, the sunset is in the west, there is a Jin army in the north to attack, and there is political instability inside, it is the time when the Great Song Dynasty team Liao is chasing and fighting, it is the critical season for the subordinates to share worries for the monarch and restore my Youyan homeland.

He has been in Xiongzhou for so many years, and he also has some roots, and his subordinates are all over the border and beyond. As early as when Xin Xingzong was building a bridge to cross the river this morning, he got the information as soon as possible, and he hurried to inform the seed master Dao, who knew that when he told the seed master Dao the good news that the Great Song Dynasty had begun to launch an attack on Liao, the seed master Dao was as expressionless as if he heard him say what he had eaten this morning, and he was not excited at all. He said it again patiently, and the planter replied to him: "Hold the defense line firmly and wait for the enemy to move first." "This is simply a waste of money. The golden opportunity to restore Youyan is at this moment, what line of defense do you have to defend?

So he slapped his slender and white palm holding the pen and reading on the table, and he felt that he was very dignified and image at that moment, and even the heavy voice caused the seed master to look at it in surprise.

He Shu withdrew the palm of the hot face, pointed to the seed master, took the opportunity to reduce some pain, and said sharply: "The Liao people are no longer able to stop my army from crossing the river, this is a godsend, the official family is looking forward to it in Beijing, and persuade the seed capital not to be a sinner for the ages. ”

Seeing that the seed master was silent, and he saw that the seed master did not dare to refute, and persuaded again: "The West Route Army has crossed the river, and we are waiting here, and Tong Xuanshuai is not easy to explain." If you don't cross the river immediately, Hemou has to report to Tong Xuanshuai, and ask Tong Xuanshuai to decide. ”

The seed master Dao looked at the foaming at the mouth and the eyebrows were raised, so he had to say: "On the north bank of the river, Yelu Dashi led the army to garrison, and we are waiting to cross the river, I am afraid that it will attack our army when I cross the river." ”

Seeing that the seed master was moved, He Shu hurriedly said: "It's so simple, our army doesn't cross the river here, you can go west along the river bank, and cross the river from the place where the West Route Army crosses the river." ”

Seeing that He Shu still insisted on crossing the river, the seed master Dao still insisted on crossing the river, so he had to say: "Well, since he and Zhizhou insist on it, let's cross the river." But it is necessary to leave a group of men and horses behind, and make a big fanfare, and confuse Jerod Dashi, so that he thinks that we are stationed here. The army and horses crossing the river died down and marched west along the river, looking for an opportunity to cross the river. ”

When He Xu heard that the seed master agreed, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly agreed: "It's still the old general's plan is safe, that's it." After saying that, he hurriedly ordered the clerk to send orders to the battalions and prepare to cross the river westward. In Hexu's thoughts, he has no opinion on who the Seed Master Dao is willing to send to garrison here, and he and Xu's will definitely go north with the army. Seeing that he is old, he is just promoted by grinding surveys, and I don't know what hope there is, and as long as the army marches northward and enters Yanjing City with the army, maybe he can enter the court and become a Qing Guijing official.

The value of this slap!
