Tong Guan, Wang Yang, and Cai An held a joint concert and sent it to Kaifeng Mansion with an expedited 600 li, and a group of rulers in the East and West Prefectures all looked at each other.

And Zhao Ji, who was sitting on the throne of the Chongzheng Palace, didn't know what to say?

originally thought that Tong Guan would be able to stabilize the situation when he arrived in Taiyuan Mansion, but he never expected that the Liao people would surround Taiyuan Mansion...... As soon as Taiyuan Mansion was besieged, Tong Guan, Xuanfu, became the Taiyuan guard!

So what to do outside the city of Taiyuan? Who will command? It doesn't seem like there's anyone!

How can the three armies be without commanders?

"Cai Qing, Zheng Qing," Zhao Ji asked, "Which of you will go to Hedong?" ”

Really going?

Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong were about to cry. Go to Hedong to fight with the Liao soldiers! Isn't this a fatal send-of-the-road? This kind of thing, that is, Wu Hao Gu can win, why don't you let him go?

Cai Jing and Zheng Juzhong thought of Wu Haogu for the first time, but no one dared to mention it. Because they all understand what the officials mean. They couldn't guess the deployment of Yelu Yanxi, but they couldn't know much about the official family in the Chongzheng Palace.

Zhao Ji definitely wanted to appease Wu Haogu, because he was timid, and he was afraid that he would lose the world if he couldn't beat Wu Haogu.

But appeasement is one thing, reuse is another. Let Wu Haogu send troops to Hedong, that is to give Taiyuan, the northern capital of "Wu Zhou", to Wu Haogu.

Since ancient times, Yan Zhao has been a strong man, and now Yan Land has been returned to Wu Haogu, and most of Zhao Land has also been given to Wu Hao Gu, and the Great Song Dynasty must not become Wu Zhou Jiangshan?

So Wu Haogu definitely can't go......

"Your Majesty, it's better to let Zhang Yuan go out of Zhenhedong." Zheng Juzhong, who knew the Privy Council, said at this time, "Although Zhang Yuan is a civil official, he has been in the army for a long time, and he has led his troops to Anxi, and he has made great achievements, and he is a rare all-round talent in civil and military affairs!" ”

Cai Jing immediately raised a different opinion when he heard this: "Your Majesty, the ministers can't go out of Hedong with Zhang Yuan, because Hexi and Shuofang also border the Khitan, and if there is no Zhang Yuan to sit in the town, I'm afraid that it will be invaded by the Khitan."

In addition, Zhang Yuan's previous performance, saying that in recent years, there is a very powerful Er Jinbu on the grassland, and its leader is named Hebule, who is a rare hero on the grassland. Zhang Yuan had already established contact with it through the academy of the Great Education Corps, and was preparing to incite the Erjin and Kereh tribes to jointly raise troops against Liao. If Zhang Yuan is transferred out at this time, who can handle this matter? ”

Well, it turned out that in the process of the destruction of the Liao State, it was not only a Jurchen who rose, but also the terrible Mongolia!

This Hebul was Temujin's great-grandfather, who rose from the steppe at the time of Liao's death, founded the Menggu state, and fought a tug-of-war with the Jurchen Jin state for more than ten years. Moreover, the powerful Jin State has been defeated repeatedly, and has been robbed of a lot of territory by the Mughal State.

Fortunately, Zhao Gou killed Fei and negotiated peace, so that the Jin Dynasty could transfer Wanyan Zongbi and the main force of the southern front to the grassland, so that in the fifth year after Yue Fei's death, a peace of cutting land and sacrificing cattle and sheep was made (it was the Jin Dynasty that ceded land to Mongolia, and at the same time offered cattle and sheep to bribe the Mongols every year).

If Yue Fei doesn't die and the Northern Expedition doesn't stop, how can the Jurchens live? There is a Yue Fei in the south, and a Hebul in the north, but there is only one Golden Vulture that can be beaten, how can it be enough? Can you use the Golden Vulture in half? So Zhao Gou and Qin Hui really have a great favor to the Jurchens!

I don't know what channel Zhang Yuan used to hook up with this Hebul, and he plans to use iron weapons to support him to raise troops against Liao......

Of course, Zhao Ji didn't know how terrible the Mongols were, so he agreed to Zhang Yuan's request, and was ready to canonize Hebul as Khan in the name of Emperor Genghis and let him command the steppe tribes!

"Zhang Yuan really can't go out of the town to the east of the river." Zhao Ji said, "Then who can go out of Hedong?" ”

"The minister recommends that Zheng Juzhong, the Privy Council, go out of the town of Hedong!" At the critical moment, Cai Jingzui is still fast! Without hesitation, he pushed Zheng Juzhong into the fire pit!

Zheng Juzhong never thought that Cai Jing would not even care about his face in order to protect himself, so he was stunned at that time.

"Zheng Qing," Zhao Ji said, "You know the affairs of the Privy Council, you know the soldiers, can you go to the main army in Hedong?" ”

"Chen, Chen is willing to go to Hedong." Zheng Juzhong saluted Zhao Ji with a wat and took the black pot with a sad face. Who made him aware of the affairs of the Privy Council? It's not okay to say that you don't know military affairs! After being a privy councillor for so many years, he doesn't understand military affairs, who can he deceive?

However, his reaction was also very fast, and he immediately went further: "Your Majesty, now all the armies in Hedong are trapped in the areas of Daizhou, Ninghua Army, Caulan Army, Volcano Army, Baode Army, Fuzhou and Fengzhou on the northern front. There is almost no soldier south of Taiyuan, how should the minister use it? ”

There are no soldiers......

Zhao Ji frowned, how could there be no soldiers?

Not to mention the original old forbidden army, not to mention the soldiers and horses of Wu Haogu and Zhang Yuan, just the imperial court mastered the new army, there were 12 generals in Hedong and Hebei, 6 generals in Shaanxi, 4 generals in Shuofang, 1 general in Lingzhou, 4 generals in Kaifeng Mansion, and 6 generals in the southeast 6 roads, a total of 45 generals. There should be 225,000 soldiers alone! If you add the auxiliaries, there are at least 300,000 people.

Why are there no soldiers?

"Uncle Zhang!" Zhao Ji didn't ask the Ministry of War, and directly asked Uncle Zhang, the military machine, "Where are the elite soldiers adjustable?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty," Uncle Zhang said at night, "Shaanxi has newly recruited six generals and a new army (all of them are reserve troops) are being trained, and they will be of great use in three months." There are six generals and horses on the sixth southeast road, and now they have been concentrated in Haizhou and Xuzhou. There is a general of the Changsheng army raised by Tong Guan, who has probably reached Hedong.

In addition, not long ago, the imperial court also used the Sanya Forbidden Army as the backbone in Kaifeng Mansion to build 20 new generals, and by the end of the year they should be able to go into battle. ”

In fact, the military reform led and promoted by Wu Haogu still greatly enhanced the military strength of the Song Dynasty. If it weren't for Zhao Ji and the military command system of the Song Dynasty to help, Yelu Yanxi would have been defeated long ago.

But even so, there are still a lot of available troops in Zhao Ji's hands now. Shaanxi's Western Army has established a hierarchical mobilization system of granting troops to the Tianfu Army, so it can now quickly form a new army of six generals. And here in Kaifeng Mansion, after all, there is an infantry academy that can quickly become officers, and there is also a standardized new army construction model, so it can also quickly build a shelf of twenty generals.

Another favorable condition is the establishment of a set of government mobilization system, although the effect is not very good, but it can still pull in a lot of strong men to fill the "shelf troops" of the 20 generals.

"First transfer the six generals from Xuzhou and Haizhou, as well as a model new army general from Kaifeng Mansion to Hedong!" Zhao Ji said, "Zheng Qing, I order you to know the Privy Council's affairs in charge of the military affairs of Hedong, Hebei, and Youzhou!" The armies of Hedong, Hebei, and Yandi, you can call them! ”

Can Yandi also be called?

Zheng Juzhong was a little crying and laughing. The troops sent to him by Zhao Ji are either still in Haizhou and Xuzhou, and they don't know when they will be in place, or they are in the hands of Tao Jiefu, an old fox, or they are simply Wu Haogu's soldiers and horses...... The only one who can set off immediately is a general from Kaifeng Mansion, a mere 5,000 soldiers.

……

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray......"

On the hillside around Yanmen Village, the Khitan soldiers who stood on top of each other let out a high cheer. Yelu Yanxi, the Great Liao Emperor standing on the wall of Yanmen Village on the high slope of the mountain, also showed a smug smile.

He once again defeated Zhao Ji's army, captured Xicheng Village and Yanmen Village, which is often referred to as Yanmen Pass, and opened the passage to Daizhou Prefecture to govern Yanmen.

This great Liao Tianzi now feels that he is still quite capable of military affairs! At least much stronger than Zhao Ji - it is indeed much stronger, in history, he carried it for at least ten years before he was captured by the Jurchens, and Zhao Ji was finished in two years.

So in this Song-Liao War, Yelu Yanxi was always able to defeat the Song army under Zhao Ji. The last time was that the soldiers went all the way south to approach the Yellow River, and after extorting 5 million yuan in compensation, they also killed Gao Yu, the first marshal of the Great Song Dynasty.

This time he fought better, and also played a trick of interspersing and encircling, and assigned Xiao Gan to play a big interspersed detour that was enough to be written into the military textbooks of later generations, and he went around to the back of the defenders of Yanmen Pass, seized the empty Xinzhou, and forced Yao Xiong, who was attacked by the enemy on his back, to withdraw his troops overnight and flee in the direction of Ninghua Army and Wutai Mountain. Yelu Yanxi also sent a large group of cavalry to follow and pursue, and I don't know how many soldiers and horses can be pushed into the Ninghua Army and Wutai Mountain in the end?

In short, the six generals deployed by the Song Dynasty on the front line of Yanmen Pass were defeated by him in one fell swoop!

And his next target is Taiyuan City, the capital of the Great Song River East Road!

Yelu Yanxi was full of joy imagining that when he waved his army into Taiyuan, his eldest brother Xiao Fengxian had already come to his side at some point, and reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I just received a military report from Ulzhou, and Han Qi, the general of the Youzhou army, captured the Flying Fox Pass first......"

"What?" Yelu Yanxi turned his head sharply and stared at Xiao Fengxian, "What did you say?" ”

"The Yizhou capital of the Youzhou Army led the troops to capture the Flying Fox Pass!"

"How is that possible?" Yelu Yanxi asked angrily, "Didn't you say that you sent elite soldiers to garrison the Flying Fox Pass?" ”

"Yes," Xiao Fengxian looked helpless, "But Han Qixian's guy is very powerful......

"Wait, why is the name Han Qixian so familiar? He's not going to be ......"

"He is the Han enterprise of the Yutian Han family, and the Jinshi of the second year of Qiantong."

"Is he very good at using soldiers?" Yelu Yanxi glared at Xiao Fengxian angrily, "This person can't fight at all under my command, and he hasn't won a battle!" ”

"Yes, but you can fight when you get to Wu Haogu!" Xiao Fengxian said, "And Wu Haogu also has a very strange large cylindrical weapon that can be used to collapse the city wall...... That's why the Flying Fox Pass will not be guarded. ”

Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth, "Send someone to negotiate peace immediately!" ”

"Where?" Xiao Feng asked first.

"Of course it's Yanjing! Is it possible to go to Kaifeng Mansion? Send Xiao Bao to go first. Yelu Yanxi said, "You can give Yandi to Wu Haogu, whether he is the emperor or the world, I don't care, in the future, Yan and Liao will be commensurate with each other, and they will be equals!" ”
