Chapter 0689: The Great War Will Begin
"Bang!"
After reading Xiao Zuo's letter, Yang Qi slapped the table angrily, "Xiao Zhuo, that stinky woman, threatens Lao Tzu again." ”
was threatened by a beautiful young woman in her thirties, Yang Qi was willing, but if this beautiful young woman hung up the identity of the queen mother of Liao, Yang Qi would not be happy.
The previous battle of Tongtaiguan had nothing to do with the overall situation, Xiao Zuo wrote a letter to threaten Yang Qi, and he pinched his nose and admitted it.
However, this time the battle of Yongxi's Northern Expedition is related to the situation in the next hundred years.
Yang Qi has been planning for many years, if he gives up because of Xiao Zuo's threat, then Yang Qi will not have to mess around.
It's better to take the whole family and hide in the south to be the overlord of the soil.
Yang Qi, who was angry, wrote a handwritten letter, threw it to Peng Pai, and said angrily: "Send someone to send it to Xiao Zhuo's stinky mother-in-law, and tell her that if you want me not to interfere in the war between Song and Liao this time, there is no way." ”
Facing the angry Yang Qi, Peng Pai naturally didn't dare to ask more, and after taking Yang Qi's handwriting, he ordered someone to send it to Xiao Zhuo quickly.
After rejecting Xiao Zhuo's threat, Yang Qi put this matter behind him and began to patiently prepare for the war.
The Great War is coming.
Military movements in the northwest and northeast were frequent.
Yanmen Pass has lost its significance to the Great Song Dynasty.
When it was December, Li Jilong, who was stationed in Yanmen Pass, received a military order from Zhao Guangyi through Zhao Defang's hand, withdrew from Yanmen Pass, and rushed to Zhending Mansion.
Zhao Guangyi's temporary residence was located in Zhending Mansion.
Looking at the posture, Zhao Guangyi wanted to gather the soldiers and horses under his command together, and then deploy them in a unified manner.
As soon as Li Jilong withdrew, Yang Qi was ordered to take over the defense of Yanmen Pass.
Because it is necessary to garrison two important passes at the same time, Fuxing Pass and Yanmen Pass.
The remaining soldiers and horses in Yang Qi's hands were a little stretched.
For the stability of the four provinces in the northwest, and in order to prevent Zhao Guangyi from messing around, Yang Qi secretly sent people to the Zhejia family, and seconded 10,000 Zhejia troops from the Zhejia to Fuxing Pass to replace part of the Jin army's government soldiers.
In this Northern Expedition, Zhao Guangyi originally wanted to use the power of the two families to serve as the left army.
However, the fold of the royal lord was rejected on the grounds that the folded family needed to defend against the rebellion of the tribes in the northwest.
Therefore, the forces under the Zhe family are still in their hands.
It is not difficult to secondment Yang Qi's 10,000 soldiers and horses.
After the thousands of troops from all walks of life prepared everything, Zhao Guangyi led 600,000 forbidden troops from Bianjing City and rushed to Zhending Mansion.
The 600,000 forbidden troops marched far faster than they thought.
The forbidden army's foot armor was already heavy, and a large number of ordnance had to be escorted, so it took Zhao Guangyi two months to travel from Bianjing City to Zhending Mansion.
Two months later, it was the beginning of February.
The people couldn't see the scene where the dragon raised its head, but the people saw the scene of the clouds and rain and the majesty clearly.
This cloud-over-raining, majestic dragon is Zhao Guangyi.
The army of 600,000 has converged into Zhending Mansion.
Zhao Guangyi's honor guard alone reached more than three miles long, plus 600,000 troops and people escorting heavy baggage, stretching for nearly 100 miles.
After Zhao Guangyi settled down in the temporary line in Zhending Mansion, the army had not yet entered the city, and the people who escorted the baggage were still floating by the river.
It wasn't until seven days later that the army and the people who escorted the baggage all arrived at Zhending Mansion.
Zhao Guangyi and a group of important ministers rested in the line of the Zhending Mansion, more than half of the 600,000 forbidden troops camped in the open space outside the Zhending Mansion, and the people camped in the outermost area.
For a time, the number of people in Zhending Mansion suddenly exceeded more than three million.
The largest number of people are the people.
For this war, Zhao Guangyi's levy of the people is as large as two million.
The big battle in which nearly three million people participated can be said to be a big gamble, a huge gamble.
Whether it was Yang Qi in the four northwestern provinces or Yelu Xiuge in the Liao country, they were deeply shocked by Zhao Guangyi's big stroke.
When the army of the Great Song Dynasty entered the Zhending Mansion.
The soldiers and horses of Da Liao also entered Jiayu Pass.
As the side of attack and defense, after the army arrived at Jiayuguan, Yelu Hugo arranged the distribution of troops and strategic deployment.
In terms of troop deployment, Yelu Hugo did not listen to the court's discussion and decision to allocate troops.
The number of troops under the command of the commander of the right army, Yelu Xiuge, increased to 200,000.
Han De, the commander of the left army, increased the number of troops under his command, Yelu Huge, to 300,000.
On the contrary, the number of troops under his command was reduced from the original agreed 300,000 to 100,000.
Yelu Huge's idea was very simple, the soldiers and horses of the Yelu Oblique Division of the Right Army had to deal with the soldiers and horses of Yang Qibu.
Yang Qi's methods are endless, and there is even gunpowder in hand, so for the sake of safety, Yelu Xian's troops must be more than Yang Qi's soldiers and horses.
In this way, under Yang Qi's onslaught, he could steadily defend the territory of Daliao.
The soldiers and horses of the left army Han Derang had to deal with the elite forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, and they couldn't fight hard, but with 300,000 troops, it was still possible to drag down the 600,000 troops under Zhao Guangyi.
From beginning to end, Jereux didn't seem to have pinned his hopes of victory on a hard hit.
He seems to prefer to win with ingenuity.
……
Yelu Xiuge, the king of the Southern Courtyard of the Great Liao, was nervously deploying his troops, but His Majesty Zhao Guangyi, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was not in a hurry, and he was still gathering the generals of the various unified armies in the northwest and northeast in an orderly manner.
I don't know if it's for inspiration or if it's something else.
All in all, after Zhao Guangyi arrived at Zhending Mansion, he did not step up the deployment of troops, but held a meeting of generals from all walks of life.
When meeting with the commanders of the Ansu Army, Zhao Guangyi gave high praise and personally promised a series of officials.
It is probably a reward for the blood shown by the Ansu army in the Battle of Tongtaiguan and the death as if it were home.
And Yang Qi, as the commander of the Left Route Army, was naturally among the summons.
The edict summoning Yang Qi was delivered to the city of Datong Mansion in mid-February.
At that time, Yang Qi was advising Kou Zhun on the government affairs of the four northwestern provinces, and at the same time, he was also appointing Yang Da as the deputy commander of the Left Route Army of the Northern Expedition.
In the study, when Yang Qi was telling Kou Zhun and Yang Da to work closely together, Peng Pai hurriedly entered the study.
"Young master, Zhao Guangyi sent someone over to spread the word and summon you to Zhending Mansion to meet you."
Yang Qi stopped telling Kou Zhun and Yang Da, shook his head and sighed: "I really can't hide from what I should have come, I knew that Zhao Guangyi would definitely summon me to meet when he arrived in the northwest, but I didn't expect to come so quickly." ”
Kou Zhun frowned and said, "Master Hou, this is a Hongmen banquet, once you go, Zhao Guangyi is likely to take the opportunity to make trouble." ”
Yang Da nodded, agreeing with Kou Zhun's statement, "I have to guard against it." ”
