Chapter 0115 Ten Military Horses
Historically, Han Shizhong did go to the battlefield to exterminate Fang La. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This time, Fang La's rebellion made the court turbulent, and the mobilization that had been prepared to raise troops to levy Liao was also suppressed, and turned to the whole army to stand by. If the normal historical trend is followed, at the end of December, the seed master Dao will raise troops to the south to conquer Fang La, under the conscription of Tong Guan.
As the commander of the Western Army in Yanzhou, the Seed Master Dao knew very well that what Han Shizhong said just now was not wrong. But at this time, the matter of conquest of Fang La is not something that makes the Western Army feel glorious.
However, it would be a bit too much to say that the Seed Master Dao could give Qian Heng an official position in the army.
In other words, Qian Heng's current position as the chief eunuch of the pastoral administration department is at least an official position in the civil system, and he is the most poor, and he can also pass the imperial examination and obtain a jinshi, and then return to the road of worshipping the prime minister.
Although Qian Heng did not have the ambition to reach the pinnacle of his career, he did not want to be suppressed by Feng Xizai and Li Yan in the Western Army and could not raise his head.
Once you really want to accept the official position given by the Seed Master, it will be difficult to transfer from the military to the scholar clan in the future.
Faced with the kindness of the planter, Qian Heng was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.
"Old general, what do you command, just say it, Hengyuan will go all out to do it!"
Qian Heng Zhishang could also guess that this old general of the Seed Master Dao also got some things about himself from Zong Ze and Zhang Shuye, so he asked this question.
However, the seed master is not those two, and he is not a current political member of the ruling party, and it seems that the only thing that can be given to Qian Heng is an official position. After all, many official positions, especially those such as lieutenant generals, can be appointed without the approval of the Privy Council.
After guessing the intention of the seed master, Qian Heng asked directly.
The seed master smiled, "I can't get my hands on it, I originally thought that since I have a request from Hengyuan, I always have to repay one or two, but now it seems that I can't use it!" ”
Qian Heng also smiled, "If the old general really wants to reciprocate, wouldn't it be better if I got the horses to heal me, and I could take one percent less?" ”
"That's not going to work, don't talk about the horses!"
The Seed Master Dao directly denied it, his eyes were sparkling, and he sent out several generals around him, and even the Seed Yanchong, who came back with meat, was blasted out of the tent by the Seed Master Dao, leaving Han Shizhong alone.
"Hengyuan, it's not a secret, just now Liangchen mentioned that the Western Army wants to pull out the camp and prepare to exterminate Fangla, but if it is freezing today, Yanzhou is surrounded by displaced people, if I leave with the troops, the air defense of Yanzhou City will be weak, and the pressure you will face will become very great."
Qian Heng didn't expect that the order to requisition the Western Army to exterminate Fang La had actually been handed down to the hands of the Seed Master.
Breeder Dao continued, "I know that you have come to Yanzhou, not only to treat the horses in the army, but also to get in touch with the Liao State to purchase war horses from the Liao State!" Therefore, I give you the right to call the local soldiers of Yanzhou, all you have to do is to help me defend this Yanzhou military city, and the good ministers will assist you from the side! ”
"General, I~"
Han Shizhong was about to say something, but was stopped by the gesture of the Seed Master.
"Sergeant Shidu is the only combat force I can leave for you, you must ensure the safety here, especially the vigilance of the Liao people, and there must be no negligence."
After the words of the Seed Master, Qian Heng finally understood that the reason why the Seed Master Dao would hand over everything here to himself was also from Uncle Zhang and them, knowing that he had secretly cultivated a group of scouts and had been transported to the territory of Jinliao, so the Seed Master Dao would have such an arrangement.
However, the number of these ten sergeants made Qian Heng feel a little incredible.
In the Western Army, there are more than 30,000 soldiers stationed in Yanzhou, but these ten capitals, adding up to a maximum of 1,000 people, the master Dao wants to hand over Yanzhou City to himself to garrison, but only gives 1,000 people, how can this be defended?
"Old general, you're too relieved, aren't you?"
Conquering Fangla, Qian Heng naturally did not go back to make peace, but only left a team of 1,000 people to garrison Yanzhou, Qian Heng wanted to fight for it.
"Old general, this number is too small, not to mention that the soldiers and horses of the Liao people are much stronger than my Great Song Dynasty, and there is a newly rising Jin State, which is also eyeing the sidelines, maybe when, the cavalry of the Jin State will rush into the Xijing Taiyuan Mansion of the Great Liao, it is not impossible!"
Historically, the emperor of Liao was chased all the way to Taiyuan Mansion by the cavalry of the Jin State, and then rushed from Taiyuan Mansion to the northwest border.
Faced with Qian Heng's explanation, Seed Master Dao couldn't help but show a wry smile on his face.
"Hengyuan, I know the difficulties here, but the prime minister is pressing too hard, and I must be able to gather 30,000 people, so for this thousand people, I can ask Liangchen to help you choose the strongest soldiers."
Speaking of this, the Seed Master Dao stared at Qian Heng, "Besides, the main purpose of leaving you a thousand people this time is to let you have someone available when you transfer war horses from the Liao Kingdom!" ”
Speaking of which, Qian Heng also knew that this matter could not be changed.
Seed Master Dao glanced at Han Shizhong beside him, and smiled, "Liangchen is a fierce general of my Western Army, and he can't help but be brave in battle, and he is even more in his heart, and it is not an exaggeration to say that Wen Tao is a martial artist!" ”
Being praised by the seed master like this, Han Shizhong looked a little surprised, but there was still a trace of longing on his face, "Old general, is it really impossible for the last general to participate in the battle to exterminate Fang La?" ”
The seed master nodded, "Last time, I was evil to you, and I can only try to protect it, if you are seen again this time, I am afraid that the disgust will be even worse, and your chances of coming out will be even more slim, fortunately, Lord Qian also needs a capable general to assist, and the task of garrisoning this Yanzhou City even needs to be guarded with your life!" ”
With the words of the seed master, Han Shizhong's mood recovered a little.
After the arrangements were made, the expression on the face of the cultivator Dao, which had been tense, eased slightly.
"We will keep all the horses that have just been healed by Lord Qian, and leave another two hundred high-quality war horses for you to go out to spy on the enemy, is there no problem with this arrangement?"
Seed Master Dao stared at Qian Heng and asked.
Qian Heng smiled, "Those sick horses can recover in three or two days as fast, and they can be basically cured after half a month even if they are slower, and they should be enough as a retained war horse." ”
"That's it!"
agreed to the conditions of planting the master's way, Qian Heng was still a little worried in his heart, and the overall combat strength of the Northern Song Dynasty army was already weak.
Although the strength of the Western Army in the entire Song Dynasty is not bad, compared with the combat power of Jin Liao, the gap is still huge, so Qian Heng really wants to personally test the overall combat effectiveness of this thousand sergeants.
