Chapter 47: Liu Yanqing's Decision

As mentioned above, before Zhao Shu went to Liangshan to recruit An, in order to stabilize Jiangnan, Song Huizong specially transferred more than 10,000 troops and horses from Liu Yanqing's troops from the extremely tense northwest border of the Great Song Dynasty to garrison Ezhou to contain Fang La.

It is said that some of Liu Yanqing's soldiers and horses of the Western Army have just arrived in Ezhou, and the soldiers have not had time to rest for a few days. It was heard that Fang La's thief Kou had connected to Suzhou, Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Jiankang Mansion (now Nanjing, Jiangsu). On both sides of the Yangtze River, people are already panicking.

Great Song Jinghu North Road Ezhou, Liu Yanqing Marshal Mansion.

A gray-haired man in black iron armor sat on the top seat of the tent, touching his chin and poking his beard.

The generals sitting on either side of him in front of him were quietly watching him, waiting for him to give orders.

This person is Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty Baoxin Army. Born in a family of generals, he made many military exploits for the Great Song Dynasty, broke the Western Xia, and saved the safety of the border areas of the Great Song Dynasty from fire and water, and the scars on his body were so geometric that even he couldn't count.

It's just that now, he is in his fifties, and he is close to the age of sixtieth, and he has not even obtained the position of a propaganda envoy, but he only has a false title like a festival envoy. On the contrary, it was Tong Guan, the eunuch with a beard, he went to the northwest, he didn't know anything, and he was powerful, but he sat on the Taishi chair of the Shaanxi Zhulu Xuanfu Envoy, which made him really difficult to calm down.

And the soldiers under his command also want to get rid of Tong Guan, fight on the battlefield for the Great Song Dynasty, and also win fame for themselves. At the moment, the imperial court sent them to Ezhou, and containing Fang La made them even more chilling, how could they stop their invincible Western Song Army?

"The fighter plane is fleeting, please hurry up and decide!" A general in his thirties in the tent said to Liu Yanqing with an anxious face. This person was Liu Guangshi, the defense envoy of Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu) of the Great Song Dynasty. He is the son of Liu Yanqing.

"Major General, no! Now our army has just arrived in Ezhou, has not yet rested, is already a tired division, if the army is tired of running for their lives, strong attack Jiankang, if it is taken by thieves, then the general trend will be defeated! A general opposite Liu Guangshi immediately dissuaded.

Liu Guangshi ignored this general, this person has always been calm, and many of his ideas have been suppressed by him, and he has always been unhappy with this person.

It's just that Liu Yanqing showed an embarrassed expression on his face, spoke a northwest dialect, and said, "General Gao, what you said is not bad. It's just that now Fang La's thief Kou is monstrous, he has just occupied Yangzhou, and now the striker is going to Huaibei, and the officials and soldiers dare not fight along the way. Now when the country is in danger, the thieves have exhausted the troops in the south of the Yangtze River and invaded Huaibei, if you don't take this opportunity to enter the army to build health, then how long will you wait? ”

Having said that, Liu Yanqing had long wanted to kick Fang La in the back and directly kick Fang La to death. The immortal feat of establishing the Great Song Dynasty, although he can't be a privy envoy, can at least squeeze Tong Guan's thing away and sit in the position of a propaganda envoy.

Hearing Liu Yanqing say this, the general surnamed Gao couldn't say anything more.

Everyone knows that it seems that Tong Guan is in charge of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, but in fact, many generals of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty do not deal with Tong Guan. Liu Yanqing was a little better, and he was in cahoots with Tong Guanxin on the surface, and he had already disagreed with him in his heart. And the family army of the famous generals of the Western Army, the old breed and the small breed are directly working against Tong Guan. led the troops to stick to Qingjian City, if it were not for the order of the imperial court, they would never obey Tong Guan's order.

"My lord! What the Major General said is right! At the moment, the rear of the thief Kou Jiankang is empty, and he must not have expected that my army will attack from behind, so he can't hesitate any longer, please send troops to attack Jiankang immediately! Behind the general, a bearded general stood up and persuaded.

Liu Yanqing leaned on the Taishi chair, pretended to think for a while, pinched the beard under his chin, and said, "It seems that this is the only way!" ”

Then, Liu Yanqing took out a bunch of arrows from the table, quickly pulled out one, and said, "Where is Liu Guangshi, the deputy general of the unified army?" ”

"The end will be !!" Liu Guangshi stepped out with his right leg, clenched his fists and bowed back.

"Let you lead the soldiers and horses of the victorious army as the vanguard of your army, take Huangzhou, and attack Jiankang!" After speaking, Liu Yanqing threw the arrow to Liu Guangshi, and Liu Guangshi picked up the arrow and retreated.

"Where is Wang Yuan, the commander of the Qinzhou Ma Army?" Liu Yanqing then took out another arrow.

"The end will be !!" The bearded general stepped forward.

"Let you lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to take a barge along the river to get Jiankang !!" After speaking, a Ling arrow was thrown out by Liu Yanqing again, and Wang Yuan picked up the Ling arrow and returned to the team.

。。。。。。

He was too anxious, not only did Liu Yanqing's decision surprise the general surnamed Gao, but what made him feel most uneasy was Liu Yanqing's deployment.

The Shengjie Army was the only light cavalry unit in the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, with an establishment of 4,000 men. And the rest of the soldiers and horses were infantry units. The difference between the two forces was that the Shengjie army moved extremely fast as light cavalry, and the infantry was clothed in iron armor and moved slowly.

Now that Liu Yanqing is using Shengjiejun as the striker, it will be difficult for the defenders to keep up. As a veteran who has been on the battlefield for so many years, can't he see this problem? He was too anxious, he was too eager to let his son do something for him. Many problems on the battlefield were ignored by him. If you really want to be what you think ... No, I hope it's all my own imagination. Fang La's main force has already done its best in Jiangbei.

Just as he was thinking wildly, his name was suddenly called, and it turned out that he was called.

"Where is Gao Shixuan, the deputy general of the capital army!?" Liu Yanqing raised the arrow and shouted.

The general surnamed Gao stood up and said, "The last general!" ”

"Order your department to escort the army's grain and grass, move forward with the army, and garrison Anzhou! Grain and grass are related to the safety of the army, and there must be no mistakes! After speaking, Liu Yanqing threw the arrow in front of Gao Shixuan.

Gao Shixuan picked up the arrow and returned to its original position, and after waiting for a while, Liu Yanqing did not order the next person, it turned out that he was the last person ordered by Liu Yanqing.

A sense of loss came to my heart, but it was okay, looking at the grain and grass, saving the battle and killing and ending up idle.

Shengjie Army, Shengjie Army, the most elite light cavalry army in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty lacks good horses, and the strength of the whole country can only cultivate this light cavalry. It's a blessing or a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

"Today's battle is related to the safety and survival of the imperial court, the country, the society, the temple, and the achievements of our fame. For the sake of the family and the country, the generals must work together, and those who dare to delay will not be spared! When Liu Yanqing arranged everything properly, he said something to the generals in the account.

"Yes!!" All the generals responded in unison, roaring like thunder.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yanqing's army was assembled in the Ezhou camp one after another.

The whole camp can be said to be waving flags, covering the sky and the sun. The snare drum and horn are like thunder. The spears are like a forest, and the cold rays are everywhere.

Groups of men and horses went east from the camp, either by boat, on horseback, or on foot.

It has been a long time since so many officers and soldiers have come to this place, and many people stand on the distant hill and watch curiously.

The officers and soldiers were originally decent and eliminated harm for the people, so it was natural that Liu Yanqing did not have the location and action route of the concealed army.

In a dense forest on the east side of the camp, several black shadows emerged.

"As expected by the alliance leader, Liu Yanqing has led the army to attack Jiankang and leave!" A dark shadow whispered.

The other dark shadow nodded and asked, "Do you see their banners clearly?" ”

The black shadow took out a wax pill from his arms, gave it to the other black shadow, and said, "See clearly, this is the deployment of Liu Yanqing's army, take care of it, and hand it over to the alliance leader!" ”

The other black shadow nodded, and ran backwards, disappearing into the forest.
