Zhao Hao's battle plan was mainly based on the lessons learned from the defeat of the Song army in history, and it was basically not wrong. Now I have asked the seed master again, and I have been recognized, and I have strengthened my confidence. Although the Dao of the Seed Master belongs to his own party, this kind of battle for the country is related to the reputation of the country, and naturally he will not be untrustworthy.

He completely denied Tong Guan's plans and arrangements in one fell swoop, and did not leave any affection for Tong Guan, in order to let the generals clearly know who was the real decision-maker of the Northern Expedition when the generals gathered.

For Tong Guan, although he was not convinced, he was helpless, who called himself seven inches pinched by Zhao Hao, and was suppressed to death, and he had no power to fight back.

For Zhao Hao, this battle is destined to be a point of no return, after this battle, his status as the first favorite under the feet of the Son of Heaven will be lost, or even more serious.

The consequences are immeasurable......

It's just that in order not to repeat the tragedy of history, in order not to let the bones of the Great Song Dynasty soldiers fill the Baigou River, he no longer cares.

He Shu and the others looked at Zhao Hao and Tong Guan blankly, not knowing why Tong Guan was so obedient to Zhao Hao. The other generals only said that Zhao Haosheng was the first celebrity in front of the official family, and Tong Guan did not dare to offend, but he was not too surprised.

……

Early the next morning, Liu Yanqing, Yang Weizhong and He Shu took the lead and rushed to Langoudian.

Before leaving, Yang Weizhong went to Zhao Hao's residence to say goodbye.

After nearly 20 days of getting along, Yang Weizhong has a certain understanding of this capital ruler who has not yet reached the weak crown, and also has a sense of admiration, especially Zhao Hao's decisiveness in killing the Heshuo Forbidden Army, which makes Yang Weizhong deeply admire.

Zhao Hao was naturally very happy with Yang Weizhong's initiative to show goodwill, and at the same time repeatedly advised: "The Liao people have many cavalry, you are all foot soldiers, it is better to defend than to attack, if the Liao people rush into battle, you can shoot them with bows and crossbows, not attack." ”

Yang Weizhong hurriedly said: "The last general will obey the orders of the adults, and on the side of Liu Gong, the last general will also convey the meaning of the adults again." ”

After he finished speaking, the words suddenly changed, and he said cautiously: "There will be a reluctant request in the end, and I hope that the lord will approve it." ”

Zhao Hao looked at him suspiciously and said, "Please speak." ”

Yang Weizhong said: "That day's archery competition, the young general surnamed Yang of the brocade guard was very brave, I heard that it was after the former anti-Liao Yang Gate, I was very happy, I don't know if it can be borrowed for this battle?" ”

When Zhao Hao heard it, this guy was really discerning. However, he also knew that the Heshuo Forbidden Army had always been arrogant and disobedient to discipline, although after this period of intensive training, it was much more honest, but if he could get a strong general to follow him, it would also have a bit of a deterrent effect. Secondly, at the critical moment, there are fierce generals of the three armies who are brave and crowned, and they can always play an unexpected effect, so to speak, the Heshuo forbidden army is too weak.

In addition, although Yang Weizhong's surname is not Yang, he still has a sense of intimacy with the people of the Yang family, and it is reported that Yang Zaixing is the general of the Yang family in Tianbo Mansion, and the Yang family's prestige in the battle against Liao in the early Song Dynasty is also an important reason why Yang Weizhong hopes to borrow Yang Zaixing.

Zhao Hao thought about it again and again, and finally nodded, after all, Yang Weizhong himself is not a force, although he was cultivated by Tong Guan, but he may be able to win it over to his side.

So Zhao Hao immediately summoned Yang Zaixing and ordered him to follow Yang Weizhong before the end of the battle, and not to leave without Zhao Hao's order.

……

Just when the Northern Expedition of the Zhao and Song armies was heading north, news had already reached Zhongjing of the Liao State.

Because Zhao Hao made Jin get unexpected results, it greatly enhanced Zhao Ji's confidence in recovering the sixteen states of Youyun, so that the Northern Expedition of the Song Army was one and a half years earlier than the Tongguan Northern Expedition in history.

At this time, the Liao State was several times stronger than the Tong Guan Northern Expedition in history, because at this time, Zhongjing and Xijing were not broken by the Jurchens, and the Liao State still had half of the original territory in hand. If it is said that during the Northern Expedition in history, the Liao people were just dying, but at this time, the Liao people were trapped and fighting.

When Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Liao Tianzuo received the news of the Northern Expedition of the Song people, he couldn't help but be furious, and immediately sent the generals of the Liao army, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan, to lead 40,000 elite soldiers, including 8,000 cavalry of the Leather Room Army, to the Liao-Song border to resist the enemy.

The night is late, and the chill is getting thicker in the late autumn night.

On the other side of the Baigou River, the Liao army is in Dazhai.

The dotted torches dimmed one by one. The originally noisy Dazhai gradually quieted down. Before the camp, some wooden stakes were erected, greased, and lit to make a huge torch, which illuminated the open space in front of the camp, and if there was an enemy attack, it could be seen clearly from miles away.

More than a dozen night patrol sentries shuttled back and forth, searching all the way to the bank of the Baigou River to detect the enemy's situation.

In the depths of that dotted camp is a much larger camp. The fence is higher and the ditch is deeper, and there are four trenches to protect the door. In addition to this, there is also a high watchtower in the centre of Tai Ying Pun. Under the watchtower, huge leather tents are connected. Outside the camp, there were teams of elite cavalry patrolling in circles outside.

Obviously, the location of the Chinese army tent of the Liao people was located here, and it was also the command center of the Liao people in this battle.

The gate of the village was wide open, and two Liao generals with majestic expressions slowly walked out of it.

The one on the left, in his early thirties, is of medium height, with a resolute countenance, eyes as sharp as lightning, and no anger and self-authority. This person is the chief general of the Liao army, known as Yelu Dashi, known as Dashi Linya, and the eighth grandson of Yelu Abaoji, the Taizu of Liao. Proficient in Khitan and Chinese characters, good at riding and archery, in 1115, he was promoted to Hanlin Yingfeng, and was soon promoted to Chengzhi. Liao takes Hanlin as the forest tooth, so it is called the big stone forest tooth. He successively served as the assassin of Tai and Xiang, and the envoy of the Liaoxing Army.

This person is not only the mainstay of the last years of the Liao Kingdom, but also the founder of the Western Liao, the Western Liao Dezong.

Standing beside him was the commander of the Liao army, Xiao Gan, the king of Xi Liubu and the general governor of the East Road.

This person is the younger brother of the Great Liao Xiaohou, the son of the prime minister of Beifu, the enemy of Lu, the commander of the Liao army, the commander of the four armies, Xiao Gan, looks like a middle-aged scholar, suitable for chanting poems in the poetry club, showing literary style. But if you really think that he is a weak scholar, you are very wrong.

This person in history defeated the elite of the Western Army in Fan Village, completely crushed Tong Guan's confidence, and made Tong Guan lead the army to flee in a hurry, and then the Liao people took advantage of the situation to pursue and kill the corpses of the Song people all over the field.

And when the Liao State was about to fall, Xiao Gan also had an emperor addiction, and in the spring of 1123, he established himself as the emperor in Jianzhu Mountain (a Fengshan), and was called the emperor of Xi State.

The two famous generals of the last days of the Liao Kingdom took the reins of the horses handed by the guards, turned over their horses together, and under the escort of more than 100 elite cavalry, they left the camp and went straight to the bank of the Baigou River.

On the other side, the main force of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty led by the Seed Master Dao has been encamped and settled, and the lights are brilliant, stretching for several miles.

Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi sat on horseback, looking at the fire on the other side.

"When I was at the peak of my Great Liao, I relied on the Song people to be 300,000 years old, and I didn't fight for more than 100 years, just to stick to the covenant. I can't imagine that the Song people are now taking advantage of the danger of our dynasty, treacherous and marching without authorization, so despicable and shameless, how can my Liao people be easy to bully? But if I have a breath of Dashi, I will teach the Han people not to cross the Baigou River for half a step! ”

Yelu Dashi's tone was obviously excited, and his face was quite angry.

Yelu Dashi was excited, so excited that several Liao generals behind him also turned red, and all of them stepped forward, brushed out their knives, and pointed directly at the other side of the Baigou River: "But with the order of King Xiao and Lin Ya, we will leap into the Baigou River, do not break the Nanren camp, do not take the head of the Nanren coach, and never return!" ”

Although the Liao people were killed by the Jurchens and lost their armor and had no power to fight back, they were not vulnerable, especially the big tent leather room army behind Xiao Gan and Dashi, which was the elite of the Liao people, and their combat effectiveness was not under the Bai Yan soldiers.

In the military system of the Liao State, the regular army was required to regard itself as strong, equipped with Thomas horses and iron or leather vests, and the elite leather room army was a typical heavy cavalry with armored cavalry. At the beginning of the establishment, there were 3,000 troops, and later it developed to 300,000. The leather room army has been crisscrossing the north for two hundred years, has attacked the Northern Song Dynasty, expeditions to the desert, swept through Liaodong and Goryeo, before the Jurchens were born, it was simply the first elite in the north.

Today's big tent room army, although it is no longer as brave as the martial arts of the past, but the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and it is still an awe-inspiring elite division. Maybe they were still a little afraid in front of the Jurchens, but in the face of the Song people who had surrendered to the Liao State, they were completely indifferent, so they released such bold words.

Xiao Gan didn't make a sound, just quietly looked at the military camp opposite, and said lightly: "The Song people's deployment this time is quite intriguing. 100,000 people divided into three armies, which is quite different from the five-army system implemented by Tong Guan in the Western Army in the past, and the strategy of dividing troops is even more bizarre and bold: the left army guards Langoudian, the right army is in Baigou, the Chinese army is stationed in Fan Village, and the battle lines of the three armies are only 100 miles apart. ”

Yelu Dashi said angrily: "This is because the Song people are bullying people too much, and it is expected that I am threatened by the Jurchens in the north today, and I dare not wave my army to the south, so I mainly attack, and only divide my troops to guard Langoudian, in case our army raids Fan Village...... The other place is the place where the grain and grass are heavy, so there is a strengthened defense. The rest of the Guangxin Army, the Ansu Army, the Xin'an Army and other places have no intention of strengthening their defenses at all...... provoked Lao Tzu to be angry, and from the Guangxin army to the south, raided all the way, smashed Bianliang, and captured the dog emperor of the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Xiao Gan smiled bitterly: "The southerners are determined that the north of my Daliao is tight this time, and they dare not wave their troops to the south, so they dare to take this risk." ”

Da Shi Linya said angrily: "Tong Guan Lao'er, such a bullying of my dynasty, if he is captured one day, he will not be spared!" ”

Xiao Gan shook his head and said: "Tong Guan Lao'er, although he has been in charge of the army for 20 years, and in recent years, he has killed the Xixia people to lose their armor and make great achievements, but he has always been steady, cautious, and never risky. ”

Yelu Dashi laughed angrily and pointed to the west: "Even so, so what? Now that the southerners are not stable in camping and are not familiar with the terrain here, they will kill him for a while tomorrow, even if they can't break their camp, they must kill him sharp! ”

Xiao Gan looked at the place he pointed to, then understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Da Shi Linya has a plan, let it go and kill it, and this king also has a plan, he will make the southerners lose their armor and dare not look north!" ”
