Chapter 628: Two Horses, Liangshan's Movement
Xiao Tang's meaning was also very clear, he was admonishing Hu Yanzhuo and said that since you can't train the three thousand chain horses to come and go freely at the moment, and you can still keep the same pace after a few rounds of charges, but you have to use some hook and rope chain to tie the formation together, it is better to control a thousand well-trained iron armor elite horsemen in a down-to-earth manner. As for the other 2,000 people as the commanders of the ordinary horse army, when the combat quality of the troops under your command keeps up, it is not too late for you to slowly expand the scale of the chain of horses.
And Hu Yanzhuo listened to Xiao Tang in a daze, although he did not openly oppose Xiao Tang's suggestion, but he was hesitant for a while. After all, this also involves Xiao Tang's way of interfering with his own military training, although Hu Yanzhuo knows that the other party is also thinking about himself, but he still can't help but feel a little unhappy in his heart.
When Xiao Tang noticed the slight change in Hu Yanzhuo's expression, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, it is said that he could understand why Hu Yanzhuo attached so much importance to his strong horse.
Not to mention the momentum and shock of the blood when he commanded the three thousand heavy cavalry to destroy the enemy army, Hu Yanzhuo was also a general who was keen on military soldiers, and when he was a court official who could command the battlefield killing weapon equipped with three thousand armor cavalry, that sense of accomplishment and inner satisfaction must be irreplaceable. However, not long after Xiao Tang met Hu Yanzhuo, he made an admonition to persuade him to reorganize two-thirds of the troops, and it was expected that Hu Yanzhuo would not be very comfortable to hear.
But it is better to spread out the words now than to see Hu Yanzhuo see the troops he had worked so hard to build being wiped out at that time. These 3,000 horse troops will definitely play a greater role in the battlefield through reasonable arrangement and accumulated training, and they should not be defeated by the Liangshan army, which has not yet reached the peak of strength and is only the green forest force, as in the original book.
At this moment, Xiao Jiasui, who was sitting on the side, suddenly spoke: "Huyan commands his horses with iron locks, and moves forward for Fang Chen, although this method has also been used by predecessors, but although the heavy cavalry is conducive to breaking the enemy's formation, after all, the foot is not fast, the light cavalry only avoids its edge, detours and scatters, and the infantry army sets up an ambush in a favorable location, but I am afraid that it is also difficult to deal with."
Xiao Jieshuai's intention is also to hope that Huyan's command can control several infantry and cavalry troops that can coordinate and cover each other. Just as Sima Sui Tho said: the right soldier bows and arrows, guards the spear, and helps the halberd, and different types of ordnance are used differently in war. According to the difference of foot riding bow horses or hundreds of people, or thousands of people alone and according to their efficacy, these small formations and then form a large formation to meet the enemy, which is also a common battle method in our Great Song Dynasty. Huyan is a famous general of the country, and he must be able to understand Xiao Jieshuai's thoughts. ”
Xiao Jiasui said nothing, and it seemed that Luo Jian, Guan Sheng and others couldn't help nodding again and again, and sometimes echoed their words. And Hu Yanzhuo saw that Xiao Jiasui seemed to be Xiao Tang's henchmen, so he didn't neglect him at all, he just wanted to pull up an ironclad heavy cavalry with a scale of three thousand people as soon as possible, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious, and now that he was persuaded by the audience, Hu Yanzhuo sighed slightly, and said with a smile: "If you teach your ministers to persuade me again, it seems that I am obsessed!" What Xiao Jieshuai and you said is penetrating into it, how can you not know it? The art of military training should only be done step by step, everything is according to what Xiao Jieshuai said, and he is not convinced. ”
After talking about Hu Yanzhuo, Xiao Tang discussed with Hu Yanzhuo and Guan Sheng the specific details of the transfer of troops to Hedong, and the next morning, he introduced his own protector to meet Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji's face kung fu is very fine, he saw that Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo were both born with a good appearance, and he encouraged him, and when Zhao Ji learned that Guan Sheng was a descendant of Guan Yu, a famous general in the late Han Dynasty, he was even more moved. Although in the Song Dynasty, Guan Yu was not like in the Ming Dynasty was named "the Emperor of the Three Realms of Demon Suppression, Shenwei Yuanzhen, Tianzun Guan Shengdijun", and in the Qing Dynasty, he was crowned as "Loyalty, Righteousness, Martial Spirit, Benevolence, Bravery, Might, Protecting the Country, Protecting the People, Sincere Appeasement, Praise Xuande Guansheng Emperor"....... That makes Guan Yu's recognition level in later generations step by step above other famous Chinese generals, but Zhao Ji, who just believes in Taoism and has given countless gods, just gave Guan Yu the titles of "Chongning Zhenjun" and "King of Righteous and Brave Wu'an" a few years ago.
After being delighted, Zhao Ji gave Guan Sheng a curly-haired red rabbit horse, the horse was like fire, the slightly curly mane seemed to be soaring flames, and the thick hooves were like bowls. And Zhao Ji also knew that Hu Yanzhuo was the founder of the country, and after Hu Yanzan, he was not lazy with him, so he gave him another kick snow black horse. The horse was covered in black ink ingots, and its four hooves of snow were white, so it was called the Snow Kicking Black Horse.
After getting the official royal gift of the BMW mount, Guan Sheng and Hu Yanzhuo also thanked the emperor for his grace, and when the two followed Xiao Tang to the Privy Council, it was agreed that the generals would send several soldiers and horses to Bianjing, and then from Hu Yanzhuo to the Beijing division armor and Kuguan to support armor, armor, armor, spears, and saddle horses, and build chains, iron armor, weapons and other materials, they were ready to set off for Hedong Road.
After Xiao Tang arranged everything and returned to his mansion, he heard from his cronies that there was a letter from Jingdong Road. Xiao Tang's heart moved, he immediately took the letter, opened it and only read it cursoly, and immediately secretly said in his heart: Sure enough, Song Jiang's good guy is not dead, but he was arrested and imprisoned for writing anti-poems in Jiangzhou Restaurant after getting drunk......
It turned out that the letter was still sent by Li Zongzheng, Liang Shanbozhong's own eyeliner, because Song Jiang openly wrote a rebellious anti-poem on the white powder wall of Xunyang Building after drinking, so he was denounced by Huang Wenbing, a member of the Wuwei Army. After some torture, Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou, sent his cronies Dai Zong, the Taibao of Shenxing, to Beijing with a letter to ask his father Cai Jing: Is this traitor going to be taken to Beijing for interrogation, or will he be beheaded on the spot in Jiangzhou?
And this time, when Dai Zong passed through Liangshanbo, although there was no longer the dry land, Zhu Gui wanted to turn him over and peel him again, but he also taught Dai Zong to learn that it was a wine shop in Liangshan. After some hesitation, he still chose to inform his old friend Wu Yong, saying that Song Jiang was accused of writing anti-poems in Jiangzhou and was put on death row, and now his life is in danger.
After the leaders of Liangshanbo learned that Song Jiang was in trouble, Wu Yong immediately advised him to write a fake reply letter and then teach Dai Zong to bring it back to Jiangzhou, and teach Cai Jiu to send Song Jiang to Tokyo. As for the helper who imitated Cai Jing's letters, Wu Yong also admonished that he had two acquaintances in Jeju City, one surnamed Xiao Mingrang, although he only knew some skills that could make guns and sticks, dance swords and swords, but because he could write in various fonts, others called him a holy hand scholar; There is also a person named Jin Dajian, who can open stone inscriptions well, pick out good books, jade, and imprints, and also fight with guns and sticks. Because he carved jade well, people called him a jade armsmith. The two of them wrote documents and engraved imprints, and they were determined to be able to deceive Cai Jiu, so as to teach Song Jiang not to be beheaded in Jiangzhou.
And Li Zongzheng, who was in charge of Liangshan, also took advantage of the moment when he was sent to earn Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian's whole family to go up the mountain, so he secretly sent a letter to Bianliang, Tokyo, to report the matter to Xiao Tang. After Xiao Tang finished reading the letter, he couldn't help but think in his heart: Wu Yong still designed Xiao Rang and Jin Dajian, who had nothing to do with the green forest and grass, to earn a cottage...... But since he still uses that routine, I'm afraid that Liang Shan will soon rush to Jiangzhou, right?
