Chapter 286: Cavalry
The matter of the alliance of the three kingdoms made a lot of noise in the Great Song Dynasty, and many important ministers on the frontier already knew about it at this moment. //.0ο½\
Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao are far away in the northwest, but the emperor has already informed the two of them of the specific content of the Bianliang Covenant, and now the two are discussing this matter.
"That's a great thing! This Goryeo envoy is not simple, he can come up with such a plan! We first destroyed Liao in the three kingdoms, and then the two countries destroyed Jin, which is better than Ma Zhi's plan to destroy Liao! At this moment, our Great Song Dynasty has the hope of getting the world. Tong Guan said excitedly.
"This thing...... There is also a problem, Goryeo is just a small country with limited national strength. If we unite with Goryeo, we may not be able to destroy the Kingdom of Jin in the end. The Seed Master Dao frowned.
Goryeo has a population of only 5 million, and there are not many soldiers, and it used to be the Shu State of Liao, and the army is obviously not very strong. For this "ally", the seed master does not trust it at all.
"Plant, you're too worried! After the Goryeo and Liao people were killed, more than 100,000 soldiers and horses were recruited, and with the original soldiers and horses, there were already more than 300,000. Tong Guan said.
"What's the use of having more soldiers? The millions of troops of the Liao State are now difficult to resist the Jin people, and the Jin people are said to have a total of only tens of thousands of troops. The Jin people are too fierce, like a hungry wolf, it is possible for the three of us to jointly destroy the Liao State, but it is basically impossible for us and Goryeo to unite to destroy the Jin people. I think the best strategy is that we unite the Liao people and Goryeo and destroy the Jin people, and then we unite with Goryeo and destroy the Liao people. "The planter said.
"Uh...... Kind of adult, the Liao country is our feud, how can we unite the Liao people? Tong Guan said.
"For the future of the Great Song Dynasty, it is not impossible to unite with the Liao people." The Planter said.
"The adults really take the Jin people too seriously, the Jin people are just barbarian wild species, we will unite with Goryeo, and we will definitely be able to destroy the Jin people in the end. Besides, His Majesty has personally decided on this matter, and the imperial master and lieutenant of the court have also affirmed this plan, so we can just implement it. Tong Guan pouted and said.
He felt that this seed master was too unfounded, and he actually regarded the Jin people as so important, thinking that the Jin people were the great enemies of the Song people in the future. Tong Guan disagrees with this point of view.
"Hey!" The Seed Master Dao sighed deeply.
However, no matter what, he felt that the current strategy was still stronger than Ma Zhi's original strategy of "Lianjin to destroy Liao". Although the national strength of Goryeo is not good, but with Goryeo pinning down the Jin people in the north, it is impossible for the Jin people to attack the Great Song Dynasty unscrupulously in the future.
"Master Plant, you and I can show your skills in the future! The soldiers and horses in the northwest are under the control of you and me, and we will definitely be used when we conquer Liao, and then it will be the time for us to make contributions...... In the future, we don't know if we will be crowned kings and marquises. Tong Guan's heart moved slightly.
He has been in control of the military power in the northwest for more than ten years, and now his greatest wish is to be crowned king. But the king needs military merits, and if there is no military merit, even if Song Huizong favors him, it is impossible to crown him king. And the battle of the three families to jointly destroy Liao made him see that the battle exploits were right in front of him, so he was a little stupid.
Historically, after Tong Guanshi pacified Fang La, he was crowned king by Song Huizong. Now Fang La has not rebelled, so he is still only the Northwest Supervisor, and he doesn't know that the opportunity to become the king is already beckoning to him.
Seed Master Dao ignored Tong Guan's words, but said, "I heard that Your Majesty wants to strengthen Goryeo's national strength and is ready to provide Goryeo with a lot of armor and weapons, which is a good thing...... The strengthening of the national power of Korea will be good for us in the future. β
Tong Guanzheng fantasized about the king, and the seed master Dao actually said this again, which made him a little unhappy, but he said lightly, "Oh." β
"I would like to suggest to Your Majesty that we must strengthen our assistance to Goryeo and make Goryeo a sharp blade in the north of our Great Song Dynasty...... The state is difficult! β
The Seed Master Dao is now worried, feeling that the Great Song Dynasty is facing too many threats, and it must not go wrong, otherwise it will be an abyss. In addition to the troubles of foreign affairs, there are also things about Liang Shanbo that annoys him.
In the first month, he sent Han Shizhong to rob and kill Wu Dong, the thief leader of Liangshanbo, halfway, but instead of killing Wu Dong, he lost the news of Han Shizhong.
The 1,000 soldiers and horses led by Han Shizhong, except for a few in other counties, all the soldiers and horses in Yanggu County disappeared on the same day, and no one knew where they went. However, Master Dao estimated that Han Shizhong should have been captured by Liang Shanbo's people, and it was likely that he had died.
For this matter, the seed master Dao is very sorry. Don't look at Han Shizhong as just a small general, but the cultivation master attaches great importance to it and is ready to train vigorously, and Han Shizhong is likely to become a pillar of the country in the future.
"Hey, Han Shizhong, how could you be lost in Yanggu County? That's it, that's it, I'd better write to Your Majesty first, and let Your Majesty strengthen your assistance to Goryeo. Seed Master Dao shook his head and left Tong Guan's military camp and began to think about the book.
******
Han Shizhong is in the military camp outside Incheon City at the moment, this military camp is very large, in addition to the sound of soldiers' training, there is also the sound of horses neighing.
There are a lot of horses here, and these horses are relatively short, smaller than the Khitan horse and the Western Xia horse, but somewhat similar to the ancient MΓ©ng horse further north.
These horses are all native to Goryeo, which Yangsan purchased from the Goryeo people in the past two years.
Goryeo is actually a good breeding ground for horses, especially Jeju Island. Later, after the ancient people of MΓ©ng got the world and occupied Jeju Island, they also regarded it as a good horse breeding land.
Now Yangsan also trains horses on Jeju Island, but more horses are outside Incheon City.
Han Shizhong was training cavalry here, while Wu Dong was watching from the hillside.
After a while, Han Shizhong came to Wu Dong's side and met Wu Dong.
Wu Dong said, "General Han, are you still satisfied with Goryeoma?" β
Han Shizhong said, "It's okay, it's just a little short, but it's good to carry weight." β
Wu Dong nodded and said, "This is the advantage of the Goryeo horse, I hope you can make good use of these horses and train these cavalry." β
Han Shizhong followed HuΔ Rong at first, but only ten days later, HuΔ Rong recognized Han Shizhong's talent. In the past, when he was in the northwest, Han Shizhong trained cavalry, so HuΔrong gave Han Shizhong the important task of training cavalry.
Han Shizhong said, "Governor, our number of horses is a little small, so we can only train 2,000 cavalry at most, and I'm afraid that this cavalry will not be of much use." β
Wu Dong thought for a while and said, "2,000 cavalry, in fact, the number is not small. General Han, do you know that Wanyan Aguta only relied on 2,500 cavalry to raise troops and defeated tens of thousands of Khitans, and then Wanyan Aguta only relied on 3,700 cavalry to defeat the Liao army of 100,000. So as long as it is used well, 2000 cavalry can also play a huge role. β
Wu Dong said this just to cheer up Han Shizhong, and a character like Wanyan Agu is just something that Han Shizhong can compare to now.
Wanyan Aguta is from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, the first military strongman in the East Asian continent for more than 200 years, not to mention the current Han Shizhong, that is, Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong and other founding kings are far inferior to him, only after the later generations of Genghis Khan were born, can they be above him. And this is because Wanyan Aguta died early, if Wanyan Aguta had not died early, his later military exploits might even surpass Genghis Khan.
However, Han Shizhong was greatly encouraged when he heard this, and said, "What the Metropolitan Governor said is that these 2,000 cavalry, I must let them play the greatest role in my hands." β
Wu Dong nodded and said, "Shizhong, the cavalry charge, the key is in a brave word." In all dynasties, those strong foreign clans did not have many soldiers, but they were often able to defeat the powerful Central Plains, and the key was a brave word. Their living conditions are difficult, so they have to work hard, and I hope you can also bring the word of courage to our cavalry, so that our cavalry is not afraid of everything, and can compare with those foreigners. β
Han Shizhong nodded and said, "Don't worry, the Metropolitan Governor...... I will train the cavalry by the most cruel means, so that they will learn to be brave and learn to fight hard. β
The two were talking about the cavalry, when suddenly HuΔ Rong arrived in a hurry.
As soon as HuΔ Rong arrived, he interrupted the conversation between Wu Dong and Han Shizhong, and said, "Governor, there is something extremely important for you to report. β
Wu Dong said strangely, "What's the matter?" β
HuΔ Rong said, "Governor, this is the intelligence of the Intelligence Department, you can take a look." Very important. β
HuΔ Rong kept saying "important", and Wu Dong didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took the information over and looked at it carefully.
Seeing the end, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he said, "Is this true?" β
HuΔ Rong said: "It's true! You can't go wrong! Now Wu Yong, the 'Goryeo envoy', has made a great reputation in Bianliang City, and everyone in Bianliang City knows it, and it will not be long before Wu Yong will bring the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty to Goryeo. β
Wu Dong couldn't help laughing, and said after a long time, "Wu Yong actually did such a thing, it really surprises me!" This time, he has made a great contribution to Liangshan! β
HuΔ Rong also said with a face full of surprise, "Yes, this Wu Yong, I always looked down on him before, but this time he also surprised me." β
To be honest, although Wu Yong was Liangshan's military advisor and a member of the Military Aircraft Department, he almost never played any important role. But this time, if this thing can be done, it can be regarded as the first hero of Liangshan.
Wu Dong thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back immediately and discuss the matter of receiving the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty." I have to rearrange the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion immediately, and I also have to make yu seals and a large number of Goryeo official uniforms...... If there is anything wrong, everyone must point it out, and we must make the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty believe that we are the Goryeo government. And come up with a reason why we received them in Incheon instead of Kaegyo. β
If this is done, it will be able to get a steady stream of benefits from the Great Song court, and at the moment Wu Dong and HuΔ Rong left in a hurry, while Han Shizhong was still training cavalry.
Han Shizhong has now liked the atmosphere of the military camp in Liangshan, which is different from the military camp of the Great Song Dynasty, where the soldiers are trained very hard and the discipline is extremely strict. In Han Shizhong's opinion, the soldiers here have almost no flaws.
At that moment, he continued to train these cavalry, thinking that he must train these cavalry to the level of nv real people.
