Chapter 374: Crisis

------------

The Seed Master Dao wants to mobilize 200,000 troops and immediately shake the entire Northwest!

For so many years, even against the Tanguts, there has never been such a large number of troops! Even when Tong Guan dealt with Fang La in later generations, he had never mobilized so many troops!

There are many factions in the northwest, but the biggest faction is still the family army and the folded army, this time the seed master dao himself ordered the army of 100,000 people, and the fold of the fold family can be asked to mobilize the army of 50,000, plus some garrisons in various places, a total of 200,000 people. Full // this // small // say // net

Many of this army are famous generals in later generations, Qu Duan needless to say, he has been following the way of the planter, and there is another person, named Liu Guangshi, who is the son of Liu Yanqing, the big man in the Northwest Army, the famous Liu Yanei, one of the four famous generals in the early years of the Southern Song Dynasty, and Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others were named.

In addition to the 200,000 troops in the northwest, the famous Taiyuan generals Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu also raised 50,000 troops and prepared to attack the Hedong Theater in Liangshan together.

All the soldiers of the Song army who participated in this war were very excited, they knew that they were only dealing with "grass bandits", so many armies were dispatched together, could not they exterminate a group of grass bandits?

At this moment, on top of a mountain peak in the northwest, Liu Guangshi stood on the top of the mountain, watching the mobilization of the army below, full of pride, and standing next to him was Qu Duan, a close confidant of the Seed Master. The relationship between the two is very good.,Both are strategic.,I used to talk about it a lot.,It's a pair of friends.。

"It's great to be able to have a big battle like this! After this time, we can all build great achievements and achieve great things! Liu Guangshi laughed.

"According to the adult, the Liangshan thieves are afraid that they are not so easy to deal with." Qu Duan frowned.

"Why is it so difficult to deal with? The group of thieves in Liangshan has only occupied the land east of the river for two years, and they don't have much foundation at all! I've heard that they only had about 10,000 men when they came before, and now we don't have many troops, so it will be easy for us to destroy them. Liu Guangshi said.

"Be careful!" Qu Duan Dao.

"It's a pity that Han Shizhong is not here, if Han Shizhong is here, his talent will be better than the two of us, and this time he will definitely shine." Liu Guangshi said.

The news that Han Shizhong went to Goryeo has not yet been transmitted back to China, so they don't know that Han Shizhong is already from Liangshan.

"Han Shizhong may be dead...... What a pity! Qu Duan sighed.

At this time, suddenly a few small soldiers ran up, knelt down in front of Qu Duan and Liu Guangshi, and a small soldier said: "Two generals, the marshal has appointed a striker, and I have come to inform the two generals." ”

"Oh, I don't know who?" Qu Duan hurriedly asked.

"It's General Yumei under the seat of Master Tong Guan!" The little soldier said.

"What? It turned out to be beautiful? This person is immoral and incompetent, what qualifications does he have to become a pioneer? Liu Guangshi's face was full of unhappiness, and he snorted coldly.

For those of them who are really capable, the ones they look down on the most are those who are in high positions but have no virtue or ability. Liu Guangshi has always looked down on several generals under Tong Guan, and thought that this big battle had nothing to do with Tong Guan, but who knew that Tong Guan still stuffed his generals in.

"Who made him a confidant of Lord Tong? It is said that Master Tong is also going to participate in the war this time! Qu Duan shook his head.

"This damn eunuch!" Liu Guangshi snorted coldly.

"That's it, no matter what, we have 200,000 soldiers, and there are still not many problems in conquering Hedong." Qu Duan Dao.

"Did the marshal say how to attack Hedong? From which direction do we attack? Liu Guangshi said.

"Let's attack from the direction of Puzhou." Qu Duan Dao.

"Puzhou? Why did you attack from there? Liu Guangshi couldn't help but be stunned, Puzhou is in the southernmost part of Shanxi, far away from the northwest, and it will take some time for the northwest army to get there.

"The Yellow River is in our way, so we have to attack from Taiyuan or Puzhou! However, there are already Zhang Xiaochun and others in the direction of Taiyuan, and we can attack from the south, which can achieve the effect of two flanking attacks, and it will be easier to conquer the Hedong thieves at that time. Qu Duan said.

"Zhang Xiaochun, just a Taiyuan Taishou, I don't know what the soldiers and horses under him are?" Liu Guangshi said.

"I don't know this very well, it shouldn't be very strong, right?" Qu Duan Dao.

The generals of the Western Army have always looked down on the generals of the forbidden army, and even more down on the generals in the rest of the north, but in fact, Zhang Xiaochun is also an extraordinary figure, and the Taiyuan soldiers and horses are also extremely powerful.

Later history, Taiyuan City is the most famous city in the late Northern Song Dynasty, when the real people conquered the world, whether it was the Liao city or the city of the Great Song Dynasty, almost all of them went down in a war, the Shangjing of the Liao State, one of the top ten male cities in the world, even the time of the Great Song Dynasty Bianliang did not block the city for a long time, but Taiyuan City is an exception. Under the attack of the NV Zhen army, Taiyuan City miraculously resisted for 260 days, and there was no reinforcement from the outside, and there was not much food and grass inside. At that time, the defenders of the city were Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, and they led 50,000 Taiyuan soldiers under their command. And the reason why Taiyuan City fell in the end was mainly because of hunger. At that time, there was no grain and grass in Taiyuan City, and the city had developed to the point of cannibalism, and a large number of soldiers starved to death. If there is grain and grass, or there are reinforcements outside, Taiyuan City will definitely always stand there, so that the Western Route Army of the city will not be able to go south.

After Zhang Xiaochun, even the seed master was vulnerable in front of the nv real person, and the seed army was defeated in front of the nv real person. It can be said that during the period of the Northern and Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Xiaochun's performance was much better than that of the Western Army. But he is not famous now, and no one in the Western Army looks at anything else. The reason why the Seed Master Dao let him fight was also for strategic cooperation.

"It's just a grass cob, and you dare to set yourself up as a king overseas, it's really looking for death!" The two talked for a while, and Liu Guangshi laughed.

"It's normal for the grass to be overwhelmed. Let's go, let's go down the mountain, and it is estimated that we will leave for Puzhou today. Qu Duan said.

At the moment, in Fenyang, Hedong, it is a tense atmosphere.

With such a large mobilization of troops and horses in the northwest, of course, Liangshan had already received information, and everyone knew that the imperial court was dealing with them, and they were all nervously thinking about how to deal with the imperial court's large-scale attack.

Lin Chong has been staying in the Hedong Military Headquarters in Fenyang these days, and Zhu Wu has also stayed there, both of them with sad faces. Especially Lin Chong, he was very worried in his heart.

The current Hedong Theater is only afraid that it is not the opponent of the imperial court.

It's not that there is a shortage of troops, the current Hedong Theater also has 200,000 troops, which is roughly the same as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court.

It is not that the quality of the soldiers is inferior to that of the northwest soldiers and horses, in fact, the quality of the soldiers in the Hedong Theater is even better than that of the northwest soldiers and horses. All the armies in Liangshan train every day from morning to night, and they don't do anything every day, just train and prepare for war! After years of training, the quality of the soldiers is much stronger than that of the imperial court.

The main reason is that there are not many leading generals in the Hedong Theater! In the past two years, in order to support Goryeo, many leading generals have gone to Goryeo! Yang Xiong was originally very talented and went to Goryeo, and Jingying, an intelligence like Shi Xiu, also went to Goryeo, and some newly grown generals also went to Goryeo.

Now there are Lin Chong, Zhu Wu, Hu Yanzhuo and others left in the Hedong Theater, although Lin Chong used to be the chief coach of the 800,000 forbidden army, but he is good at training, not good at leading troops. As for Zhu Wu, he is a military advisor and strategist, it is okay to let him give advice, but it is not okay to let him lead the troops. Not to mention Hu Yanzhuo, he is good at chain horses, and he has been trying to rebuild chain horses for the past two years, but he has not succeeded yet. It took more than ten years for him to train his serial horse, and now it's only been two years, and there are no signs at all.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think we should do now?" Standing in the room of the military headquarters, looking at the huge map hanging on the wall, Lin Chong frowned and asked.

"It is obviously impossible to lead the troops to fight with them in the field, our generals are too small! If those famous generals of Goryeo, Huārong, Yang Zhi, Han Shizhong and others were here, they could have fought a field battle with them and fought to destroy them, but now they can only defend with all their might! Do not seek merit, but seek no fault. Zhu Wudao.

"Can we defend against them?" Lin Chong said with some worry.

"It shouldn't be a problem, we have a military advantage." Zhu Wudao.

"Strength advantage?" Lin Chong couldn't help but be stunned, they only had an army of 200,000, which was about the same number as the army of the imperial court, why did Zhu Wu say that it was an advantage in strength?

"Don't we still have reserves? Now there are still 300,000 reserves, all of which can be converted to active duty, with 500,000 troops, can't they stop the 200,000 soldiers and horses of the imperial court? Zhu Wudao.

"Uh......" Lin Chong was stunned, he had forgotten about the reserves.

At this time, the population of Shanxi was extremely large, much larger than that of other northern provinces, and almost comparable to the populous provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. After the two Song and Yuan dynasties, because of the large population of Shanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others immigrated from Shanxi to all parts of the country, so that later generations have the story of the big locust tree - "ask where my ancestors are, Shanxi Hongdong big locust tree". Because the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, so the more the war luΓ n, the more people from all over the country run here, and during the two Song Dynasty, the population advantage here has been presented, so the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized here is much more.

In just two years, because of the unique land policy, anyone who joins the army can immediately obtain land and obtain tax incentives at the same time, so many people in the Hedong Theater want to join the army! That's why there is an army of 200,000 active and 300,000 reserves! The reserve here, like the reserve in Goryeo, is trained once every five days, and there is no problem in transferring all of them to active duty when necessary.

"Then do it! Strive to be able to defend against the attacks of the imperial court! Lin Chong nodded.

Soon, the soldiers and horses in the Hedong Theater began to mobilize and headed towards the state capitals, focusing on the defense of the Puzhou region, according to the information obtained by Lin Chong, the Northwest Army was moving in this direction!

In addition, Lin Chong has already begun to mobilize the reserves, so that the reserves can rush to the front.
