And Lin Chong has another consideration.

Because the great enemy of the Liangshan army must be the Jurchen army in the end, and for various reasons, the Liangshan army could not fight to the death with the Zhao and Song courts.

can only destroy the Jurchens first, and gain the hearts and prestige of the people with the help of eliminating the Jurchens, and then compete with Zhao Song for the world. This is the unchanging grand strategy of the Liangshan Army.

But this is the problem, the Jurchens have fought all the way, and their combat experience has long been completed; And the Liangshan army is a group of recruits who have only fought a few battles, or even never been on the battlefield at all, how can this battle be fought?

And Lin Chong also needs to win the elite of the Liao State to prove the strength of the Liangshan army, and build confidence for the officers and soldiers of the Liangshan army and those who come to take refuge in him, that is-what the Jurchens can do, our Liangshan army can do the same, and even the results are even more brilliant and dazzling than the Jurchens!

At that time, are you still afraid that the nine hundred Jurchen cavalry of Zengtou City, who have surrendered to you, as well as the three A Shu and Duan Jingzhu, will not be for yourself and the Liangshan army?

Are you still afraid that when the time comes, in the face of the Jurchen Hu Qi, will Liang Shanjun have no psychological advantage?

At that moment, Lin Chong nodded with a smile and said, "What Ah Shu said, I will naturally think deeply." You can rest assured, I have always done things before acting, and I have never fought a battle that I am not sure of, and this battle will not put you in danger! ”

When Lin Chong said this, the six of them immediately felt relieved, and secretly said in their hearts that it would be good to listen to persuasion.

So when Lin Chong asked about the tactics of the Jurchen army and the Liao army, everyone was in a much relaxed mood and spoke very enthusiastically.

……

Twenty warships and merchant ships with a total load of 46,000 materials marched day and night on the sea for two and a half days and two nights, and by dusk the fleet had reached the waters of Jinzhou.

Lin Chong asked Ruan Xiaowu and Zhang Heng to continue along the coastline southeast to Yaozhou in the Jin Kingdom with a 2,000-material warship and a 3,000-material merchant ship, informing the Jurchens that they would arrive in Yaozhou in about 12 days, and asking the Jurchen lord to come to Yaozhou to meet.

On the other side, the rest of the fleet led by Li Jun, Ou Peng, Tong Wei, Tong Meng, Zhang Shun, Ou Peng, and Ma Lin came to anchor near the mouth of the Daling River and waited for half a night.

It wasn't until the middle of the moon that the fleet quietly traced the river upstream, and then took advantage of the moonlight of the last quarter moon that 3,100 cavalrymen disembarked and began to rest on the riverbank, recuperating, and preparing to raid Yizhou the next day.

……

Han Chang is a seventeen-year-old Han boy and the eldest son of Han Qinghe, the commander of Yizhou.

Although he is still underage, he is tall and strong, with a big waist and long arms, if he is not worthy of his slightly immature face, from a distance, his nature is not much better than that of a man in the prime of life in his thirties and forties.

It's just that he is tall and stout, Han Chang is a natural divine power since he was a child, he can open a hard bow with one stone at the age of twelve, and he can hold a strong bow with three stones at the age of seventeen.

It is also for this reason that the talented man joined the Han Army in Jingzhou of Liao State since he was thirteen years old and became a small soldier under his father Han Qinghe.

In four years, he moved to the north and south with his father, and he also experienced dozens of battles. With his superb riding and archery skills, Han Chang also made countless meritorious contributions at a young age, and became a leader and warrior praised by everyone in the Han army of Liao.

Born in troubled times, a brave and young person like Han Chang is naturally the time to use force, and Han Chang also knows this.

It is because Han Chang began to practice martial arts when he was six years old, and when the sky was not clear, he got up to boil his muscles and bones and practiced martial arts diligently; After joining the Jingzhou Han Army, he did not enjoy special care because of his young age and the status of the eldest son of the unified army.

It has always been the soldiers who share weal and woe, and they always compete for the first place in every battle, and the retired soldiers are the only ones who lead the elite soldiers, but they are rewarded for their merits, and they always put others before themselves.

Because of these reasons, in less than four years, Han Chang surpassed many uncles and uncles from a small soldier to become the number one general under Han Qinghe.

Also on this day, Han Chang led a team of soldiers and horses out of the city early to patrol the sentry.

At this time, less than three months had passed since the peace negotiations between the Liao State and the Jurchens, and the Jurchens were busy digesting the results of the war, and it was even more impossible for the Great Song and Goryeo to attack across the sea, so after a round of patrols, nothing abnormal was found.

So the group began to go home, only to see that the hundreds of cavalry were all believing in the reins of the horse, or squinting their eyes and resting, and their heads were little by little with the ups and downs of the war horses;

or put a burden behind your back and lay your feet on the saddle; Some people even lie directly on horseback; There are also people who are hungry, riding on horseback and gnawing on dry food, talking and laughing with the people around them, and the sound of whistle and harmony is endless.

These people are all with bundled hair and right hair, typical Han family children's appearance and dress.

However, the Han people in the Yanliao region have separated from the Central Plains since the middle of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and have been ruled by the Khitan and Xi people for 200 years.

For such a long time, many local Han people have long been Hu, in addition to the appearance and clothing customs of the Han people, they are no different from the Khitan and Xi people in the ability to ride and shoot, and even in their sense of identity, they are more inclined to the Khitan Liao State.

After all, no matter how miserable the Liao State is now, it has suppressed and bullied the Zhao and Song dynasties for more than a hundred years, and the customs of the northern land advocate force and warriors, and despise the weak, under this kind of thinking, how can these northern Han people have a good impression of the Zhao and Song courts?

"Da Lang, you said that Da Liao has been strong for more than 100 years, why is it that he has been beaten so badly by the Jurchen barbarians in the north now?"

During the conversation, I heard a military general in his early twenties beside Han Chang ask.

At that time, the Jurchen was rising, the Liao State was weak, and the people's hearts were in turmoil, and this army was all Han army, so this young general of the Han army didn't have much scruples when he said this.

Han Changyuan is a native of Yanjing, and since joining the Han army in Jingzhou, he has fought dozens of battles, and most of his opponents are thieves and rebels from all over the world, but he has never fought with the Jurchens.

Later, Huanglong Mansion fell, and Han Chang was recruited by Emperor Tianzuo with Han Qinghe to crusade against the Jurchens.

Han Qinghe and this army were also defeated and retreated by the rout of the Khitan Xi tribe who fled suddenly, but Han Chang, who wanted to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield with his ability, was disappointed.

Later, Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, opposed Liao according to Tokyo, so Han Chang followed Han Qinghe to crusade against rebellion, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, and was promoted all the way to the position of commander of the Ma Army at a young age.

However, he still did not really fight with the Jurchens on the battlefield, which is also the place where Han Chang, who claims to be the first brave general of the Han army of the Liao State, deeply regrets.

"What else? It's not that these Khitan soldiers have been rotten for more than a hundred years, or just a few people like the Jurchen barbarians, one person would drown them with a mouthful of spit!

If Emperor Liao was willing to reuse our Han army at the beginning, how could there be so many things now? I'm afraid that this group of Jurchen barbarians has been pacified a long time ago, how can it be like ...... now"

Speaking of the Jurchens, in the eyes of the young and vigorous Han Changbenxin, he never thought that the Jurchens were strong, but the Khitan and Xi people were too incompetent.

And to say a taboo thing, it is because Emperor Tianzuo is too mediocre, too lazy in hunting pleasures, ignores the government and trusts traitorous ministers, so that the government is chaotic.

Let's just say that the battle of Hubu Dagang, if it weren't for the mediocrity of the Liao Emperor, the chaos of Liao's internal affairs, and the deputy commander of the imperial camp, Yelu Zhangnu, led his troops to defect to Beijing, and the Liao Emperor had no intention of fighting again, and retreated halfway, causing the morale of the front-line troops to fluctuate and lose morale, how could he suffer such a big defeat?
