Scout: Advance and retreat in order to see the enemy. The so-called "repulsion, degree also", "wait, that is, waiting." ”

The so-called scouts, also known as scouts, originated in the Han Dynasty and got their name from the fact that they were directly subordinate to the princes. Divided into cavalry and infantry, it is generally served by agile sergeants, and is a fairly important branch of the army.

In any book of war, the important role of scouts during marching battles is emphasized, but this has always been overlooked throughout history.

Liu Yanqing, a security guard. From Jiangmen, heroic and brave, several from the Western Expedition, meritorious service, Jiguan to Xiangzhou Observation Envoy, Long Shenwei Commander Envoy, and Yan Yan Road Chief. After moving to Taining Army Festival Observation and Staying, he was changed to a propaganda envoy. The people of the summer broke into the German army, captured their chieftains, and surrendered the prince Yima to the party. Bai Baoxin Army Festival Envoy and Ma Army Deputy Commander Envoy. From Tong Guan Square La, the three cities of Heyang are knotted. He also went on an expedition from the north to Xuanfu to control 100,000 troops.

In the Western Army, Liu Yanqing can be called a fierce general, but he is not a handsome talent, this time he commanded the Northern Expedition of 100,000 troops, all the way went smoothly, the Liao people either fled or surrendered, so that the arrogance in his heart grew, and finally led to a big defeat.

After the 100,000 Song troops crossed Baigou, Liu Yanqing didn't even send out scouts.

Although Guo Yaoshi, the general of the Liao State, reminded him that beware of the enemy's ambush, which caused the 100,000 army to be unable to respond, how could Liu Yanqing listen to the words of a general? Still going my own way.

When the Song army came to Liangxiang, it was not surprising that it was attacked by the remnants of the Liao army led by Xiao Gan with less than 10,000 people. The 100,000 Song army was defeated by the Liao army that defended the country by several thousand, and could only retreat south of Lugou to avoid the battle.

Later, Guo Yaoshi offered a plan to Liu Yanqing: take advantage of Xiao Gan of Liao to lead the main force of Nanjing on the front line and raid Yanjing with light cavalry, which will definitely get the response of the Han people in the city, and Yanjing will be taken.

Liu Yanqing adopted this suggestion, but when Guo Yaoshi and Song generals Yang Keshi, Gao Shixuan and others led the cavalry to the city of Nanjing, had already seized various strategic points, and fought hard in the streets and alleys of the city in urgent need of reinforcements, Liu Yanqing and the reinforcements he promised were nowhere to be found.

Before the reinforcements arrived, the Song general also issued an order to kill the Khitan and Xi people in the city. In addition, the discipline of the Song soldiers was disordered, and they drank and robbed everywhere, which caused a strong resistance, so in the end, it was Xiao Gan, a Liao general who received an urgent report from the Empress Dowager Xiao, who transferred 3,000 elites from the front line to kill them.

Subsequently, the Liao general Xiao Gan followed the plan of Zhou Yu of the Three Kingdoms to deceive Jiang Gan, and deliberately leaked false information, falsely claiming that there were still 300,000 troops in the Liao State coming to help, and when the time came, the Song army would be annihilated under the name of fire.

A few days later, the Liao army really lit torches north of Lugou, and as soon as Liu Yanqing saw the fire, he thought that the legendary elite of the Liao army was coming, and took the lead in ordering the camp to be set on fire and escape.

In an instant, hundreds of thousands of Song troops collapsed before they could fight the enemy, and they retreated directly to Xiongzhou, the place of departure, and all along the road were Song soldiers who trampled on each other and died! The Liao people took advantage of the victory to pursue and pursued until Zhuoshui.

After two Northern Expeditions, Zhao Ji of Song Huizong not only lost the money, grain and materials accumulated by his ancestors, but also more than 100,000 elites of the Western Army, and the most important thing was that he was seen by the Jin State.

When the Song State sent envoys to Nanjing to claim the agreed Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda said to the Song envoy without hesitation: "I heard that the Song State General fought against Liu Yanqing alone and 150,000 people, once the Song State collapsed without a fight, what is the way for the Song State!" I have entered Yanshan, now I have it, and China is safe! ”

The Song State can't beat the Liao State, and the Liao State can't beat the Jin State, so a very certain idea has appeared in the hearts of the Jin people, that is, the Song State is definitely not the opponent of the Jin State.

Li Nan was not too worried about how Song Liao fought in the north, because the Song army, like Chinese football, never disappointed him, and defeat in every battle was a true portrayal of them.

Recently, Li Nandu led people to inspect various industrial and mining enterprises in Zhennan Kingdom, after all, the final fight in the war is logistics capacity, and the lesson of Fang La is in front of him, even if there are millions of people, starving for a few days will disappear.

In addition to concrete roads, spring shock absorbers and rubber tires, there is also a new means of transportation that has officially begun to be used, that is, horse-drawn trains.

Due to the limited manufacture of steam engines, it is not possible to make a train as a means of transportation in Zhennanguo, but it is still possible to rely on cattle such as cows, horses, elephants, and other livestock as power, and run wooden trains on rails.

In fact, horse-drawn trains have appeared in Tangshan and Harbin in the late Qing Dynasty, and this kind of train that relies on animal power to run, in a well-known phrase, is very environmentally friendly.

According to the prior testing and planning, the stations along the railway line are not only used for passengers to get on and off, but also have the function of replacing the animals pulling the carts, and the horses are changed without changing the trains.

After the provinces and large cities in Zhennan were connected by horse-drawn trains, the speed of transporting soldiers and supplies was greatly improved.

"Cigarettes, fruit candy, maltose, sesame paste, ......"

Looking at a little girl carrying a bamboo basket to sell in various carriages, hearing this familiar voice, Li Nan smiled with relief, no matter what, he did bring some changes to this world that were not bad.

This time, Li Nan took a horse-drawn train from Guizhou to inspect the arsenal in Guangyuan Prefecture, accompanied by Zhao Yingluo, the newly married Shunde emperor, and Li Xiaoshan, a Goryeo beauty who would not leave.

Although Li Nan was not officially called the emperor, he was a real emperor in Zhennan, so the skilled craftsmen of the long-distance train department specially made a carriage for him exclusive to the prince.

Not to mention the interior decoration of this carriage, the materials used to build the main body of the carriage are already worth a lot of money, because the carriages are all made of hard, durable wenge wood.

The interior of this carriage is set up and served to the standards of a five-star hotel, with an extraordinary bedroom, kitchenette, living room, and bathroom with warm water.

At this moment, Li Nan came to the large floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtains, enjoying the beautiful scenery of Zhennan created by himself outside.

"Lord Wang, this town in the south seems to be different from what the concubine heard."

"Hahaha......" Li Nan glanced at Zhao Yingluo, who was standing beside him, and smiled: "Of course it's different, does Tokyo City say that the people of Zhennan are not happy, and this king is also a tyrannical villain?" ”

"Hmm." The little girl nodded, but she immediately explained: "But the concubine doesn't think so, I know that the husband is not the evil person they say." ”

"Oh?" Li Nan asked with some curiosity, "Why?" ”

Zhao Yingluo said coquettishly: "Because I believe that the person who writes such good words as "When Will the Bright Moon Be There" cannot be a bad person. ”

was praised by this girl like this, even if Li Nan's face was amazingly thick, she couldn't help but feel a little hot, after all, these things were copied by herself.

"When is the bright moon? Ask the sky for wine. I don't know what year it is in the heavenly palace. I want to go back by the wind, but I am afraid of Qionglou Yuyu, and the height is unbearable......"

Zhao Yingluo sang this song softly, the tune was beautiful, her voice was soft, the sunset shone on her body, reflecting a faint glimmer, and the person standing in front of Li Nan at this time was not her own lady, but a fairy in the sky descended into the world.

Li Nan, who has been worried about military and political affairs recently, only now realizes that this girl's dress is a little different.

Dressed in a snow-white gauze skirt with pale pink embroidered shoes, and Zhao Yingluo's jet-black hair that has been cultivated for many years is also draped behind him, looking very much like a little beauty from later generations, with a slight temptation in her innocence.
