After Lin Chong and the others entered the city, Zhang Shuye was still angry about Xu Jing's rebellion and glared angrily.

After commanding the military to open the treasury, transport all the grain and grass materials to the vicinity of the south gate, and organize the sergeants and people to start preparing dinner and dry food, Lin Chong couldn't help but sneer when he saw that Zhang Shuye was still full of anger.

"Zhang Xianggong, do you know why I always said that the Jurchens invaded the south before, and Zhao Song's army would definitely not be able to resist it?"

Uncle Zhang was under house arrest by Mei Jiasheng at night, and he was angry in his heart, and he knew that Lin Chong would not do anything to him, so he said angrily: "Is Master Lin here to show off?" ”

Lin Chong said in a flat tone: "Naturally not, Zhang Xianggong, you haven't thought about why General Xu's command rebelled so easily, and why He Zhijun's resistance was so weak?" ”

Uncle Zhang said: "Why do you say? ”

Lin Chong smiled, and mentioned Qin Ming's old matter again, and it was not the first time that Zhang Shuye heard it, so he was just silent at the moment.

I heard Lin Chong continue: "Mencius of the pre-Qin Dynasty said: 'The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The monarch regards his ministers as mustard, and the ministers regard him as an enemy', and there are also in the "Historical Records": "The king treats me as a countryman, I will repay the countryman, the king treats me as a passerby, I will repay the passerby, and the king treats me with a mustard, and I will take revenge on him." ’

Isn't it ridiculous that today's imperial court attaches great importance to literature and suppresses martial arts, uses literature to control martial arts, guards, despises, and suppresses martial artists everywhere. ”

After a pause, Lin Chong sneered: "That's why I said at the beginning that the Jurchen invasion of the south, Zhao Song's army would definitely not be able to resist it, just because the imperial court despised and suppressed the warriors so much, castrated the blood, and had already destroyed the spirit of this army for more than a hundred years.

How can an army that lacks spirit and spirit and has no military soul be the opponent of the Jurchen Huqi who has just risen, has few opponents in the world, and whose arrogance and self-confidence are about to rise to the sky, and at the same time is greatly boosted by the morale stimulated by robbery and killing, and who are not afraid of death! ”

Lin Chong suddenly remembered all kinds of records in the history books about the Song army against the Jurchen army in the late Northern Song Dynasty, all kinds of fleeing from the wind, all kinds of defeats with one blow, all kinds of records of one or two thousand people being defeated by the Jurchen on dozens of horses, or even a few horses, every time I read it, I can't help but sigh.

This is the consequence of an army's lack of spirit and spirit!

Even the Western Army, which was the most warlike in the Northern Song Dynasty, was defeated, and why the Western Army was defeated in the northwest with the Western thieves in a bloody battle, it was because they were defending their homes and families from being slaughtered and looted by the Western thieves; That's because they have a century-old blood feud with the Western Thieves.

Once the Western Army arrived at the battlefield of Liaoning in Hebei, and then King Qin of Bianjing, who went north to rescue Taiyuan, for the officers and soldiers of the Western Army, it was more of a soldier to eat food, which was just a job, and he couldn't work hard for a job.

That's why this group of Western troops did it because they won the battle but didn't get the reward they deserved, and they were angry in their hearts, so they abandoned the coach and ran away.

And why the later Yue family army was able to win a hundred battles against Jin Bing was because Yue Fei re-injected the military soul into this army!

Everyone in the world knows that the Yue family's army resisted Jin, and a few know that after Yue Fei's death, the descendants of the Yue's army, the Han people in the Xiangyang area (Yue Fei operated in the Xiangyang area for ten years) were the backbone of the defense against the Mongols.

This is also the place where Lin Chong admired Yue Fei the most in his previous life.

Uncle Zhang's expression finally darkened, but he still argued: "The Jurchen Yuer small state suddenly made a fortune, it is not enough to conquer the Liao State, and they have to go south to continue to invade the Song Dynasty, can they eat it?" ”

"Isn't it ridiculous that you scholars are lucky enough to always build hope that the enemy will not be wiped out? Think about it, my Zhang Xianggong!

Think about the Wuhu Chaohua, Qin Fujian almost destroyed the Eastern Jin Dynasty at the beginning, and we Han people almost perished the world. Don't underestimate the ambition and desire to kill! ”

In normal times, Lin Chong might also explain to him that in the original historical time and space, the Eastern Route Army was extremely fierce, and this line really did not intend to continue to invade the Song Dynasty after the destruction of Liao; However, it was the Western Route Military Minister (Wanyan Zonghan) who destroyed the Song Dynasty in order to fight for rights and territory.

But at this time, Lin Chong didn't bother to say anything more to him, leaving a sentence of "think about it" and discussed with Xu Jing about going south to Xiangyuan County, and then moving through Licheng County and Shexian County to enter Hebei Road.

"Brother Wang (Wang Huan) should lead his troops to Shexian County at this time, if the Lin army lord starts immediately, it is estimated that he can meet him in Lucheng County."

Because the marching route was made by General Lu and Wen Huanzhang with the imperial court, it was because Lin Chong had already sent a large number of secret agents to Hedong to survey the terrain, and because Lin Chong was quite familiar with the terrain and roads in this area.

"Old general, I will leave 1,000 cavalry for you, and you can order your confidants to go south immediately to pick up their families, and the old general can then lead the army to join me on the flat official road of Lucheng.

I led 5,000 cavalry to walk the trail from Xiangyuan to Licheng, and if I could intercept Wang Jiedu on the line of Licheng, I would try to defeat him near the Zhanghe River, and if Wang Jiedu had crossed the Zhanghe, I would lead my troops to follow him......"

Xu Jing was a little surprised, knowing that if the Liangshan army really wanted to engage Wang Huanjun near the Zhanghe River, the Liangshan army would have to take at least two and a half times the road of Wang Huanjun, and most of it was still a rugged and difficult mountain road, and it had to dismount and walk.

If it can really be done, Liang Shanjun's mobility ability can really be regarded as the best in the world, and it is beyond its class.

"The Lord of the Lin Army used his soldiers unexpectedly, his speed is like the wind, and it is not as good as being old!"

I don't know why, after sitting on the cold bench for more than ten years, he has nothing to do except practice martial arts every day, and his heart is a little disheartened and a little warm.

Since he voted for the Liangshan Army, maybe this army, which is not at the same level as the Song Army in terms of spiritual temperament, can really make any great achievements and reproduce the glory of the Han and Tang Dynasties?

At that time, we warriors should not be as angry as before.

It turned out that although Xu Jing was a festival envoy and a high grade was terrifying, the festival envoy of the Song Dynasty was different from the festival envoy of the Tang Dynasty, he had no real power at all, and he could not actually command the army, and he was subject to the control and surveillance of civilian officials everywhere, which was almost a false title, and he only had the opportunity to lead the troops when he wanted to fight.

And in order to avoid suspicion, he almost never cares about military affairs.

Therefore, Xu Jing and other ten-section envoys have been almost in retirement.

After a short time, everything was arranged, and the six thousand cavalry troops outside the city were almost rested, and everyone and horses had a full meal.

At this time, there was a rumor that the main force of more than 30,000 Liangshan troops had left the city less than 20 miles and arrived immediately before dark.

"Tell them to hurry up the march and arrive in Xiangyuan County before sunset tomorrow......"

"The wolf smoke rises, and the rivers and mountains look north. The dragon rolls, the horse neighses, and the sword aura is like frost......"

After Lin Chong gave the order, he led 6,000 cavalry to Xiangyuan County, and Uncle Zhang stood at the head of the city at night, watching this high-spirited army singing military songs and roaring away, and his heart became more and more uncomfortable.

"It's just that the cavalry is as fast as the wind, and even the infantry army has such a strong marching ability, fully armed, and it can forcibly march two hundred miles in two days, and it is not a well-trained army that can't do it at all!

That's it, what makes Zhang Shuye feel most uneasy is the high-spirited and confident spirit of each Liangshan Army soldier. Is this what Lin Chong said about the soul of the army?

If this army with military soul cannot be eliminated this time, it is difficult to say what will happen in the future...... This Great Song, will there be a Great Song at that time? ”
