Under the Flying Fox Pass, a group of soldiers and horses under the banner of Lu Qi and Tian Jin were moving forward rapidly, and the flag of the Liao army was fluttering high at the pass not far away. Hundreds of Liao soldiers were waiting for them, but none of them raised their bows and crossbows to shoot arrows at the soldiers and horses below.

This is not a false way. Lu Qian is just borrowing it!

Perhaps many people don't know what the Flying Fox Road is, and turn the "Dao" into a "path".

This is also one of the eight paths of Taihang.

When Zhao Eryongxi was on the Northern Expedition, he deliberately ordered the general Tian Chongjin to enter the Middle Route Army to take the Flying Fox Pass, and the strategic task with Pan Meibu was to cut off the connection between the front and back of the mountain and form an encirclement of Youzhou. This is a tactic that draws lessons from the defeat of the last Northern Expedition. Tian Chongjin went north from the Fallen Horse Pass, and Pan Mei and Yang Ye went out of Yanmen.

More than 100 years have passed, and the vigorous Zhao and Song Dynasty founding forbidden army has long been consumed in the long years. But Zhao Ersanlu's strategy of the Northern Expedition to Youyun provided Lu Qian with an idea.

With a brigade of soldiers and horses out of the flying fox - the agreement between Lu Qian and the Khitan, the land of Yizhou will be based on the flying fox, and one of its places is the land of Xijing Road in Liaoguo. A group of soldiers and horses passed through the Liaoguo Road and attacked Daizhou in Hedong, which must have exceeded the expectations of the officials and people in Hedong. At this time, the soldiers and horses of his generation were mostly in Jingcheng Pass, in case Lu Qian might launch a battle against Hedong after returning south, and Nadai Prefecture and Yanmen Pass were all empty at this moment.

The Lutian coalition army took advantage of the weakness to enter, and after breaking through the Yanmen Pass, the soldiers went straight to Taiyuan. Then I don't believe that Zhang Xiaochun can still calm down, and still pile up the main force at the west entrance of Jingcheng Road.

When Lu Qian's army invaded Liaodi, the spy department was not idle, and many civil and military officials in Hedong received a letter of surrender, which did not promise them high-ranking officials, but only promised to protect their lives. Such conditions seem to be distressing to be cheap, but in the eyes of some, they are not exchanged.

In particular, the Liangshan army defeated the Liao State, not only forced the Liao Emperor to bow his head, but also cut off a piece of Khitan flesh and blood, and took back Yizhou and Zhuozhou, which had been separated from the Central Plains for a long time. The real martial arts are so great that many people think that the Liangshan army is invincible.

For example, the outer king and the inner saint, Lu Qian suppressed the arrogance of the Khitan, the great enemy of the Central Plains, and he himself gathered the hearts of the people in the Central Plains.

Don't underestimate the Khitan that has been severely damaged by the Jurchens, a bloody case in Baosai is enough to remind the people of Hedong, Hebei Province of the tragic situation of being beaten by the Liao army more than 100 years ago.

Under such a general trend, the Hedong Army under Zhang Xiaochun seems to be a candle in the wind, which makes people feel bad when they look at it.

Daizhou is the most important place in Hedong, and in its heyday, there were 50,000 border troops stationed there. Wutai Mountain is obliquely cut, northeast and southwest, and the north side is connected to Taixi Mountain, which inherently demarcates the boundary for the defense layout of Daizhou.

That along the Wutai mountain system to the south, from the border of the big stone village, Ruyue village, Magu village, Meihui village, bottle village start, to the inside is respectively Yixing Ye Village, Baoxing Jun Village, Hugu Village, Xijing Village, Tufeng Village, Yangwu Village, Zaolin, Fanzhi, Yanmen Pass and so on.

It can be said that there are many military cities in the military wall, and the bottle-shaped village is the flat type of the future generations.

When the Liao army was most prosperous, it had never broken through from Yanmen Pass, but now, when Lu Zhishen and Tian Hu led 20,000 allied troops to appear in front of the bottle-shaped village, the old and weak Song army in the military village opened their mouths wide and screamed hysterically, and then fled south desperately.

"The Liao army entered the Kou, and the Liao army entered the Kou......"

The old soldiers, who looked gray-haired, fled no slower than the young ones at this time. The army that appeared in the north was afraid that there were tens of thousands of people in the black, so it would not be the Liao army or the barbarians of Western Xia?

If you start from the bottle-shaped village and go all the way to Yanmen Pass, along the way, the coalition army is bloodless, like a peer army, and has not encountered the slightest resistance. The local soldiers and civilians fled as much as they could, but they couldn't escape, so they knelt on the ground one by one, for fear of being bloodied again by the Liao army. The impact of the Baosai incident should be extremely powerful.

In this way, the news of 'the Liao army entering the Kou' spread all the way to Yanmen Pass, and then from Yanmen Pass to Xinzhou, and then from Xinzhou to Taiyuan Mansion. None of them really figured out who was coming.

And the control of mountains and rivers, standing on the shoulders of the world, is the foundation of the east of the river, and the place where ancient and modern times must be contested. This is Hedong Road Road and Taiyuan City. Although it is only 11 miles in circumference, there are only four city gates, compared with the circumference of 42 miles in the year, a total of 24 city gates of Jinyang City, it is not worth mentioning. By this time, the latter had become a mirage that could no longer be touched in the dreams of later generations.

Zhao Erping and the Later Han Dynasty, the fire and water irrigated Jinyang, and razed the three cities of Taiyuan with a history of 1,000 years into ruins.

However, only three years after the destruction of the Han Dynasty, out of the need for national defense, Zhao Song built Taiyuan City on the east bank of the Fen River, thirty-five miles northeast of the ruins of Jinyang. The new city is a small point, but its military geographical location is better than the three cities of Taiyuan that have been destroyed. The small Taiyuan City is the natural dividing line between the Central Plains and the Northern Regions, and Taiyuan also has a long-term colorful border army hoarding culture.

The four stoppers are rushed, and the capital of the five plains is controlled. It's a true portrayal of this small city.

But now, in the last years of the Northern Song Dynasty in the official history, the city that composed the most tragic national war song, there was an uproar and noise among the military and the people. It's not a city full of tragedy, united as one.

Because immediately following the military information of 'the Liao army entering the Kou', there is also a real military emergency report - it is not the Liao army, but the Liangshan thieves.

I don't know how many people are dizzy about it, the north is the territory of the Khitans, why is there a Liangshan army to kill? Zhang Xiaochun was suspicious in the face of this military report.

It's just that when the urgent report from the Xinzhou government arrived, and it was said that the attacking army was not the Khitan, but the Liangshan army, the civil and military officials of Taiyuan City determined that it was indeed not the Khitans, but the Liangshan army.

I don't know why, it's Zhang Xiaochun himself, and at this time, there is a lightness in his heart.

"Father, the matter of the transfer of troops ......" The Liangshan army actually came in from the north, and it was not necessary to ask that it must have been the Khitans who gave it convenience. It can also be seen that the land thieves have been planning against Hedong for a long time. At such a time, it is more important to close out the well. Because he didn't believe that Lu Qian would really send a large army to pour in from the territory of Liao. The enemy of the northern road must be a partial division.

The focus is still on Jingcheng Pass!

Therefore, Zhang Hao believes that improper dispatch of troops will return to help. There are thousands of soldiers in Taiyuan City, and no matter how anxious Ding Zhuang is to defend the city, how can the thief army be able to take it in a hurry?

On the contrary, it is the west exit of Jingcheng, that is the point, once you let go, you will be in great trouble.

Zhang Xiaochun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Do you think that the Liangshan army will attack Taiyuan?" If one part is left to guard outside the city, and the other part is close to the west entrance of Jingcheng, how can it be dealt with by itself? ”

In the south, there are brothers who can be asked for and saved to serve in the army, and Zhi Yanzhi was sent back to his hometown in Fuzhou to reorganize his troops and horses. At present, Xie Qian, the deputy envoy of Hedong pacification, is stationed in the Pingding Army and presides over the deployment of the west entrance of Jingcheng.

Zhang Xiaochun had a sense of defeat in his heart first. He thought that with the ability of the Hedong Army, he was far from being the opponent of the Liangshan Army. Just like the Gyeonggi Road, this is not a question of whether the Yangsan army can take it, but when people are willing to take it.

How can the heart fail early?

Zhang Hao is not a general, and after listening to his father's words, he was immediately speechless. It is naturally feasible to recruit Ding Zhuang in Taiyuan City, and it is also possible to defend the city, but if you want to lead them out of the city to fight with such a strong army as the Liangshan thieves, it will be hehe.

At the east entrance of Jingcheng on the opposite side of Taihang Mountain, the weather has been good these days, and the Liangshan army has arrived here, and it has been sunny for days.

The blue sky and white clouds, the sun is hanging high, the sun is not hot in March, the sun is shining, but there is not much heat to spread.

Successive barracks are connected into a white sea. The camp is strict, the flags are displayed, fluttering in the wind, all connected into a piece, and you can see it clearly from a distance.

Lu Qian's commander's camp is located in Jingcheng County, there is no need to eat and live with the soldiers in everything, and the city is more comfortable than the camp tent.

This time, the number of Lu Qian's army was even smaller.

Zhuozhou and Yizhou each left 5,000 troops to garrison, and there were also scattered soldiers and horses stationed in Dingzhou, Baozhou and other places, not to mention Zhending, Zhaozhou, Shenzhou, and Hejian Fu. The larger the territory occupied, the more garrisons in the area will be needed. It is also Lu Qian's big handwriting, and many military states all over Hebei have been integrated, just like that Baozhou, which has the previous Ansu Army and Guangxin Army. Xiongzhou, Bazhou, and Xin'an Army, Baoding Army, and Mozhou were merged into one, and the territory became much larger. Lu Qian had to divide his troops and garrison, which was necessary before the local garrison was established.

And Hu Yanzhuo and Li Ying have already taken the soldiers and horses to the south and started their careers in Hebei.

Coupled with the 20,000 troops of Lu Zhishen and Tian Hu, the existing strength of Lu Qian's troops is less than 50,000.

But in this way, the amount of food and drink is still not a small amount every day. That is, the water transportation in Hebei is developed, if it is all the same as before, Lu Qian will not be able to drag it out.

Opposite Jingcheng is Hedong, Lu Qian led the army to gather here, and there is no army at the moment, but the goal is needless to say, everyone's eyes are bright, and they can see clearly.

No one was shocked.

Hebei is empty, how can Hedong not be empty? If you don't take this opportunity to take here, won't you wait for the imperial court to transfer the Western Army back, and then attack and kill?

Zhang Xiaochun sent soldiers and horses out of the well when the Liangshan army killed Zhaozhou. After Zhang Hao's army was defeated, he still hurriedly mobilized troops from all over the country and actively deployed the west entrance of Jingcheng to prepare to resist the invasion of the Liangshan army.

The news reached Tokyo within a few days, and the people here breathed a sigh of relief. The days of fear a few days ago were really difficult.

Although they escaped a catastrophe, Hedong is going to be a disaster, but now, the dead friends are not dead and poor.

Under the city of Zhuozhou.

“…… Fellow villagers and elders, be quiet, be quiet! Listen to me! In today's world, natural disasters and man-made disasters continue, King Qi is benevolent and righteous, knows the suffering of the people here, and specially allocates money and food to help the victims. ”

"From today onwards, led by the township officials everywhere, grain will be distributed according to the people's register, and if there is no registration, they will be registered as soon as possible. Three days later, the township offices will be issued according to the household registration, and if they are not registered, they will go to handle it as soon as possible! ”

A large notice has been posted in front of a public office in the countryside. The new township officials with gentle, humble, stern, and other different faces preached loudly in Qilu's voice.

At the time of the handover of Zhuozhou and Yizhou, a large number of officials had already arrived from Qilu. They were originally going to enter Hebei, but now they are giving priority to Yizhou and Zhuozhou. Many of them are on the roster of the ministry, and they have not been changed.

Lu Qian no longer worries about no one to call.

According to his concept, the land of Qilu, every place, every official position, is like a cultivation tank, and every year and a half can be harvested calmly.

Now that most of the places in Huainan have been arranged, they will be even richer next year.

Under the city of Xinzhou, Hao Siwen led a group of soldiers and horses to advance south. There is also a Tian Hu army in front, which is led by Tian Biao.

The huge Hedong has just gained a corner, but Hao Siwen has a flame burning in his heart, he was depressed in Hedong in his early years, and he only thought about dying when he was captured by the Liangshan army. Where did he think that it was just a thought, and his identity changed, but now he is so proud.

This time the army swept Hedong, and a garrison should also be set up, if he can make great contributions, then the position of the head of the soldiers and horses may not necessarily be Tang Bin's.
