After the three armies gathered, they reorganized for two more days, and finally set off, leaving Mozhou City and marching to Xiongzhou.

Early the next morning, the armies set up camp in turn and marched northward.

The first to set off was the elite of the Western Army led by Liu Yanqing, including Yang Keshi's Bai Qi soldiers.

This was followed by the Chinese army, which consisted of the Jinyi Guard, the Jingshi Forbidden Army, and Tong Guan's personal soldiers, the elite of the 3,000 Shengjie Army.

Finally, it was the Heshuo forbidden army led by Yang Weizhong.

……

Cai Mao, the deputy envoy of the Xuanfu Envoy who lived in Mozhou City, knew that he was going to send troops today, and after using his breakfast, he also began to pack up and prepare to set off with the army.

In order to alleviate the pain on horseback, he deliberately found a tailor in the city to make a cotton saddle cushion to avoid the saddle grinding thighs, and Mozhou to Xiongzhou is only four or five days away, so it will be over.

Although he can't take the car, Cai Mao, as the deputy envoy, has not a lot of entourage, and the luggage can fill two large cars, and the entourage packed up for a long time, and finally packed up all the luggage, loaded the car and waited in front of the house.

Cai Mao was sitting in the inner house, drinking himself, after all, if he wanted to drink alcohol all the way, it was not convenient to be in Mozhou City.

At this moment, an attendant hurriedly entered and said respectfully: "Lord Qiqi, the front army has set off, and the Lord Xuanfu and the Lord of the Metropolitan Command ask the Lord to go to the north gate to assemble and set off with the Chinese army." ”

Cai Mao heard the attendant's report, and immediately raised the wine glass in front of him and drank it all: "Go!" ”

After speaking, he led the attendants to stride out of the inner house. As soon as I walked to the festival hall, suddenly there was a strange rumbling sound in my stomach.

Cai Mao's face changed, and he only felt a pain in his abdomen, and then a feeling that a volcano was about to erupt came up, making him feel like he wanted to die.

"You're waiting here......"

Before Cai Mao finished speaking, he covered his stomach and went straight to Xueyin.

As soon as I took off my pants, I only listened to the wind and rain, the thunder, the mountains and the sea, and the joy......

After taking the silk handed over by the attendant and wiping it carefully, Cai Mao showed a satisfied look on his face, became energetic, and led the attendants to continue walking towards the gate of the mansion.

Coo~

As soon as he walked to the door, another strange noise came, which made Cai Mao's face change greatly, but before he could think about it, under the urging of the feeling of thousands of horses galloping and rivers bursting embankments, he had to turn around, hold his stomach, carry his trouser belt, walk like flying, and run towards Xueyin again.

After another violent storm, Cai Mao got up again, and his face gradually turned pale.

"I'm afraid I've eaten my stomach,......," he lamented in his heart.

This time, he learned to be obedient, and did not leave Xueyin immediately, but returned to the inner hall, poured a cup of hot tea, and drank it slowly.

Sure enough, a cup of hot tea had just been put down, and there was a thunderous sound in the stomach, and the waves were stormy, and the spray was about to come out, Cai Mao's face was full of bitterness, and he lifted his pants again.

In this way, after coming four times in a row in half an hour, Cai Mao's face had become very pale, and he was almost unsteady when he walked, and his feet were floating as if he had been sucked dry, and he barely returned to the inner hall with the support of the two attendants.

An attendant outside hurriedly rushed in and shouted: "The Chinese army has pulled out the village and set up camp, and the Xuanfu envoy urgently invites the lord to leave!" ”

Cai Mao opened his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but the feeling of wanting to die came to his heart again, and he didn't have time to reply, so he hurried away again.

An elderly attendant shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The deputy envoy has a bad stomach, I'm afraid I can't travel today, please quickly return to the Xuanfu envoy, I will go to the city to find a good man to come." ”

Just when Cai Mao was complaining, his partner Cai You, in the same situation as him, went back and forth between the inner hall and Xue Yin.

The north gate of Mozhou City.

The flag is like a cloud, and the sword and halberd are like a forest.

Tens of thousands of elites of the Northern Expeditionary Army, ready to fight, in the army, a pole embroidered flag hunting with the wind, under the banner of the Chinese army, Zhao Hao and Tong Guan stood side by side, waiting for the arrival of the two deputy envoys.

Tong Guan looked back at the gate of the city from time to time, with a slightly anxious look on his face. It was Zhao Hao, but he had a calm and light face, without the slightest hint of impatience, and there was a subtle smile on the corner of his mouth.

"What are those two guys doing, the march is a big thing, I can't wait for a long time!" Tong Guan waited more and more anxiously, and couldn't help but curse in his heart.

After a while, a horse galloped over, until Tong Guan in front of more than 30 steps before stopping, turned over and dismounted, straight to Tong Guan in front of him, to the front, hurriedly bowed down: "Qi Xuan Shuai, the left deputy envoy ......"

The latter part of his speech was very quiet, and only Tong Guan could hear it.

The left deputy envoy is none other than Cai Mao.

Tong Guan heard this, with a sneering look on his face, and scolded: "Straight lady thief, at such a critical juncture, such a thing happened, since this is the case, let the left deputy envoy rest for a few days, and then it is not too late to go to Xiongzhou." ”

"Whoa!"

Looking at the back of the herald soldier who had already ridden away, Tong Guan's brows frowned, and he muttered to himself: "Cai Mao has diarrhea, is it possible that Cai You also has diarrhea, and the land has not yet arrived?" ”

Before the words fell, another horse galloped over, turned over and dismounted, and went straight to Tong Guan: "Cavalry Xuanshuai, right deputy envoy ......"

At this moment, the look on Tong Guan's face was fixed, and he looked stunned, and it took a while to come back to his senses.

Zhao Hao stood next to Tong Guan, naturally heard it clearly, and couldn't help but grin: "The two deputy envoys are quite related, both surnamed Cai, and both are from the husband's family, and they are both scholars. ”

Tong Guan looked back at Zhao Hao, and suddenly felt like an enlightenment, and he had an epiphany in his heart, shook his head at the moment, and said with a wry smile: "Since this is the case, I won't wait for Cai You's deputy envoy......"

He suddenly drew his sword and said, "Let's go!" ”

After the sound of three cannons, the sound of horns and the sound of gongs and drums, tens of thousands of Chinese soldiers and horses set off in turn, like a giant dragon, rolling north.

Zhao Hao hit the horse and followed next to Tong Guan, walked a mile or two, suddenly looked back, looked at Mozhou City with cold eyes, and a sly smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Straight lady thief, dare to sue Lao Tzu for his black form, croton can't kill your two turtle grandsons!

First ejaculate for half a day, and then lie down for ten days and half a month, it is best to be sick and save the noise!

********

Xiongzhou City.

Xiongzhou City is Waqiao Pass, after Zhou Shizong won the three passes, the Waqiao Pass was changed to Xiongzhou, it is also the seat of Xiongzhou Mansion, it is less than 100 miles away from the Baigou River on the northern border of Song Liao, it is the most important border city in the north of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is also the logistics base of the upcoming Northern Expedition.

Xiongzhou is the north of Baiyangdian Lake in Hebei Province, the south of Juma River, according to the lower reaches of the Jiuhe River, the rivers and lakes are connected, and the waterway transportation is convenient. From Xiongzhou to the west, you can go to Baoding, an important town in Hebei, and in the east, you can follow the Daqing River in the lower reaches of the Juma River to enter the sea, and Nantong is an important town in Jizhong, which has an important position. Due to the low-lying terrain in the Xiongzhou area, there are rivers and lakes everywhere and the saline-alkali ground, the residents are sparse, and it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of it

In the south of Xiongzhou City, the deputy commander of the Heshuo Forbidden Army, the governor of Xiongzhou and the Xiongzhou garrison, discharged ten miles to the south to welcome the arrival of Tong Guan.

Thousands of troops stationed in Xiongzhou lined up to greet each other, and everyone stood up straight, just looking south.

Zhao Hao and Tong Guan walked side by side, and when the big flag behind the two appeared in the sight of the Xiongzhou garrison, there was already a burst of cheers in front of them.

Immediately afterwards, a general about forty years old, dressed in chain armor and a big coat, straddled a high-headed horse, and led the crowd to greet him.

"Harmony, 81 in force, 55 in intelligence, 65 in politics, 72 in command, and 90 in health."

This person's strength is good, it is said that he has great strength, and he is good at riding and shooting, and can break through 300 steps away, and the side man is called "Phoenix Bow".

It's just a pity that he is conceited and brave, and he is quite arrogant. In the battle of the Northern Expedition in history, He Shu misestimated the combat effectiveness of the Liao people, and devalued the Liao people's military horses to worthless, resulting in the Song army underestimating the enemy.

……

Next.

Xiongzhou Mansion, the Northern Expeditionary Army.

In the hall, all the soldiers and horses were in control, and they gathered together to discuss the strategy of sending troops to fight.

According to Tong Guan's meaning, the army was divided into six routes.

Wang Yu and Yang Keshi commanded the front army, which was composed of Baiqi cavalry and 5,000 elite Western Army.

Yang Weizhong commanded the left army, which was composed of 20,000 Heshuo forbidden troops.

The right army was commanded by the seed division, and the 20,000 Beijing division forbidden army was formed.

The generals of the Western Army, Wang Ping and Yang Zhitong, led the rear army, and the 20,000 Heshuo forbidden army was formed.

The generals of the Western Army, Xin Xingzong and Zhao Ming, led the selection of 5,000 front troops.

The left army, the rear army, and the Xuanfeng army were all controlled by Liu Yanqing.

Chongshi Dao commanded the Chinese army as the deputy commander of the capital, and the main force was the elite of the 20,000 Heshuo forbidden army and 7,000 western army, leading the troops to march to Baigouyi and cross the river to attack the Liao.

Tong Guan and Zhao Hao sat in Xiongzhou, dispatched in the center, and at the same time 3,000 brocade guards and 5,000 Shengjie troops guarded Xiongzhou City.

Tong Guan's tactics are still the same as in history, that is, the front and rear left and right Chinese armies are added to the formation of the front army, and this way of dividing troops to attack is undoubtedly self-destroying the Great Wall, which makes the original strength advantage of the Song army lose everything.

The most important thing is that it not only emptied the Seed Master Dao and the two Seed Masters, but also pushed the Seed Master Dao to the forefront, and also set up Zhao Hao.

As soon as Tong Guan finished arranging, the seed master retorted: "Today's war on Liao, such as stealing into the neighbor's house and not being able to save it, was originally out of the name, and now it is divided into troops, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Tong Guan said coldly: "In today's military, the official family has a successful calculation. At the same time, he also used the prestige of the old breed to subdue the Liao people, and the public could not resign. ”

Yang Keshi said: "The major matter of cutting Liao must be discussed in the long run, if the hasty is miscalculated, it is not a pity for my generation to be punished, I am afraid that there will be no danger, and the humiliation of the country is important, and I am willing to do it after I am ready." ”

Before the words fell, Zhixiongzhou and Xu ridiculed at the audience: "I have heard that General Yang can defeat 10,000 people, and he is extremely courageous. ”

Yang Keshi was ridiculed by him and was silent.

Tong Guan looked at Zhao Hao and said: "I don't know what the county will do, if there is no objection, then tomorrow select warriors, first ride back and forth on the border to distribute the surrender message, in order to disrupt the Liao army's morale, and then plan the war, how about it?" ”

The reason why Tong Guan arranged a call without consulting Zhao Hao's opinion was nothing more than two points: first, he thought that Zhao Hao had no real experience in commanding troops, whether it was an envoy to the Jurchens or Pingliang Mountain, at most it was only gold-plated, what advice could Zhao Hao put forward in this kind of battle of the country; Second, he has commanded the army for 20 years, although he has been tossed by Zhao Hao all the way, and when the big war is imminent, the inertia of being in the position of the commander for a long time makes him habitually preside over the overall situation, and unconsciously ignores Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao sneered and only replied with two words: "No!" ”

The atmosphere of the audience suddenly condensed, and everyone looked at Zhao Hao with shocked faces.

Especially Hexu, although he also heard some glorious deeds of Zhao Hao, but he didn't think so, and now he saw that Zhao Hao had so straightforwardly vetoed the opinions of Tong Guan and the generals, and he frowned, and his expression was obviously unconvinced.

I only heard Zhao Hao say: "The art of war is cloudy: if you hurt your ten fingers, it is better to cut off one of your fingers." The Liao people have been crisscrossing the north for hundreds of years, how can they be so good to match? If the army is divided into six routes, it is undoubtedly a self-defeating road, and it will be broken by the Liao people. Therefore, the commander of the capital believed that the army could be divided into three routes, and the two generals and Yang Keshi led the elite of the Western Army, the Baiqi soldiers and the 20,000 Heshuo forbidden army as the front army, and the troops were in Baigou Post and crossed the river to attack Liaodi; Liu Yanqing, Yang Weizhong, and He Shu led 40,000 Heshuo forbidden troops to garrison Langoudian to prevent the Liao from breaking through; This general led the Beijing Division Forbidden Army and Jinyi Guard to garrison Fan Village, and responded in the center. Xuan Shuai sat in Xiongzhou, dispatched in the center, and left 3,000 Shengjie troops to garrison Xiongzhou City. ”

"What?" When He Shu heard this, he jumped up and shouted, "Zhao Du has no experience in commanding troops, today's battle is related to the national system, and Xuan Shuai is the commander of the three armies, how can Lord Zhao overturn all of them and make his own opinions?" ”

Zhao Hao glanced at him coldly, ignored him, and turned to the seed master and said, "The old general, this general's plan, is it okay?" ”

The seed master thought carefully for a while, and said respectfully: "Very good! ”

Zhao Hao turned to Tong Guan again and asked in a deep voice, "I don't know what Xuan Shuai wants?" ”

Tong Guan's face was gloomy, he was silent for a long time, and finally nodded: "Since Lord Zhao is in charge of the capital, the matter of fighting will be according to the plan of the adult." ”
