Chapter 340 Who has a bigger heart

Just when Xiao Zhiyun was planning to go north to Yan'an Mansion and south to Tongguan, Hanguguan and other places, Zhao Yougong also ushered in the most severe test. On the night of 19 April, Zhang Jun was under the command of the Left Route Army, and Cai You, the deputy envoy of Lianghe Xuanfu, jointly issued a military order, ordering Zhao Yougong's troops to leave Lanshan and enter Wuzhou two days later, so as to cooperate with the nearly 50,000 troops in the middle road to seize Mayi City. Of course, Cai You didn't forget to remind him that it has been ten days since King Zhao Xiaojun issued a military order, and if he can't take Wuzhou City within five days, no matter what the result of this expedition is, at least King Zhao Xiaojun's head will be difficult to keep.

Zhao Yougong didn't pay attention to the military order at all, and after this battle, not to mention the military order, it was a piece of waste paper in front of his eyes, and what he was worried about now was Zhang Jun's middle lane. As Xiao Zhiyun guessed, Zhao Yougong has always felt that Zhang Jun should not take the risk of fighting Heyin, Zhang Jun is still too arrogant, Yelu Dashi is known as the first general of the Great Liao Clan, how can he be in vain, a few years ago, when this person was stationed in Shangjing, Wanyan Aguda led tens of thousands of elite soldiers to attack Shangjing, and they were all defeated and returned, such a veteran of the battlefield, will he not understand the importance of Heyin? Zhao Yougong doesn't know Yelu Dashi like Xiao Zhiyun, but he has a feeling in his heart that Yelu Dashi has been fighting on the battlefield for nearly 20 years, and he must know the importance of Heyin.

Heyin looks inconspicuous, but it is an important road, if you lose Heyin, then there is no need to hold on to Yingzhou, as long as you see this, but those who are decisive will definitely do their best, even if they give up Yingzhou, they will defend Heyin. The reason is very simple, for the Liao people, Heyin is very important. For Da Song. Equally important. If you can't capture Heyin, even if Yao Gu's army of more than 20,000 people takes Yingzhou, in the case of lack of grain and grass, after the Liao people drive away Zhang Jun's army, they can turn around and retake Yingzhou. It is true that Yingzhou is very close to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, but there are Yanmen Mountain and Wushan Mountain between the two places. It is also pure wishful thinking to want to replenish a large amount of baggage from Daizhou in a short period of time, unless Yao Gu can quickly evacuate before the end of the Heyin War, if he is inserted into the south of Yingzhou by the Liao cavalry, then no matter how powerful Yao Gu fights, he will only be chased and cut by his ass.

Throwing Cai You's two military orders aside, the wooden woman glanced at the contents of the letter, and threw it directly into the charcoal basin and burned it to ashes, "Thief, it seems that this Cai Dalang is very attentive to you." Are we really going to fight Wuzhou City? ”

"Well, it's going to have to be fought. If not, how can you make a difference? And if we don't fight Wuzhou, how can we seize Fengzhou and other places? Zhao Yougong had a plan, but he still had a lot of worries in his heart, because until now, he hadn't figured out where Yelu Dashi was. Since the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty gathered in Taiyuan Mansion, Yelu Dashi seemed to have disappeared, and Yelu Sha and Xiao Gan were responsible for the battles on the ground in Xijing.

As the saying goes, dogs that bite people don't bark, not to mention the evil wolf of Yelu Dashi, Zhao Yougong doesn't know whether Yelu Dashi is staring at Heyin or Wuzhou, if Yelu Dashi's eyes are staring at Wuzhou, then he will be stillborn if he captures Fengzhou and other places, and then uses a plan to seize Wuzhou. Zhao Yougong has so many worries is not a mediocrity, it seems that Yelu Dashi is the most likely to stare at Heyin, but the direction of Wuzhou is not impossible, he Zhao is the king of the county, the prince of Chu, and the only bloodline left by the first emperor Zhezong, his status is no worse than that of Yelu Chun of Liao, if he can really capture Zhao Xiaojun King alive, the blow to the Great Song Dynasty can be imagined, and his credit is no less than the extermination of tens of thousands of troops.

Wuzhou or Heyin, it depends on how Yelu Dashi chooses, if he wants to destroy the Great Song Dynasty's desire to attack Xijing, then he must take Zhang Jun's tens of thousands of troops, but if he wants to easily get a big credit, then he can completely attack him Zhao.

Seeing that Zhao Yougong frowned, Mu Wanqing knelt beside the cushion, supported her chin, and asked with a worried face, "Are you worried?" ”

"Hehe, you must be worried, Wan'er, you don't know, this Yelu Dashi is a rare handsome talent in the Khitan, since Yelu Hugo and Yelu oblique, it should be Yelu Dashi. This time, we are going to directly knife him at the critical point, and we must be extremely careful, and now Yelu Dashi has the capital to lose, but we can't, this battle must be won. ”

Zhao Yougong clenched his fists, his wrists trembled slightly, he couldn't be defeated, there were nearly 20,000 horses under his hands, this defeat, but there was nothing. Moreover, although most of the men and horses under his command are well-trained, they are a group of recruits in the end, and if they really come up and lose a battle, it will be difficult for this army to mention it again.

Approaching noon, Azhu, who had been away for a long time, hurried back, at this time Azhu was wearing a small soft armor, and her pink neck was full of fine sweat, after entering the account, she first squatted next to the desk and drank some water, gasped, and said anxiously, "Your Highness, there is news of Yelu Dashi, half a month ago, Yelu Dashi left Yunzhong Mansion and arrived in Huairen." In addition, the eldest lady also sent news that more than 10,000 cavalry had left Shangjing a month ago, and their whereabouts were unknown. ”

More than 10,000 cavalry went out of Beijing, and their whereabouts are unknown? Zhao Yougong found a map and carefully studied Huairen City, Huairen is in the north of Yingzhou and Heyin, more than 40 miles away from Heyin, more than 60 miles away from Yingzhou, if there is a cavalry can start from Huairen, it will not take an hour to arrive, of course, this must also be based on the cavalry in Huairen City. And near Yunzhong Mansion in Xijing, the only thing that can be used to fight is Yelu Dashi's Cheetah Battalion tonight and more than 2,000 Tiefutu Heavy Cavalry, Tiefutu's march is slow and not suitable for support, and the Cheetah Battalion is all placed in Wuzhou, and Yelu Dashi has no illness on his hands. At least I thought so before, but after listening to the news sent by Zhu Lian, a layer of cold sweat gradually broke out on Zhao Yougong's forehead, could it be that the more than 10,000 cavalry in Shangjing really entered Huairen City? I don't know how Yelu Dashi covered everyone's eyes and ears and hid tens of thousands of cavalry in Huairen City. But if this possibility becomes a reality, then the Jelu Dashi will be too terrifying.

Relying on Yelu Dashi's ability, it is not difficult to defeat Zhang Jun's tens of thousands of horses near Heyin, but if there are tens of thousands of cavalry sent by Shangjing, then Yelu Dashi's goal is not as simple as winning. Then this is to annihilate Zhang Jun's tens of thousands of troops. Tens of thousands of cavalry in Beijing. Plus the cheetah battalion that can rush out of Wuzhou to the east to support at any time. Yelu Dashi can only use more than 20,000 elite cavalry, and the total number of horse infantry soldiers has exceeded 50,000. With 30,000 against 50,000 Song soldiers, Yelu Dashi can win safely, not to mention the situation of having an advantage in numbers?

Zhao Yougong has too much selfishness, he wants to use this battle to seek more benefits for himself, but he wants to watch Zhang Jun's tens of thousands of Chinese troops all buried in the hands of the Liao, how can he bear it? No, I have to find a way to remind Zhang Jun. Otherwise, nearly 50,000 Song Erlang would all be buried near Heyin.

After pondering for a while, he said very seriously, "Wan'er, you go to Shijie Valley, find a way to secretly send a letter to Zhang Jun, and tell Zhang Jun the possibility that Huairen may be hiding heavy troops." ”

King Zhao Xiaojun arranged it like this, and the wood girl was unhappy, she pouted and said unhappily, "Why do you want to sue Sù Zhang Jun." It's good that the husband is dead, and he still thinks about how to harm you with Cai Dalang all day long. ”

"Hey. Hugh has to play with his temper, Zhang Jun just deserves to die, maybe tens of thousands of Song Erlang don't deserve to die, at least they shouldn't die in such a daze! ”

Zhao Yougong's heart was very painful, because of this expedition to Liao, the Great Song Dynasty had already paid a heavy price, the right side of the hundreds of thousands of troops, before the real confrontation with the Liao, more than 5,000 fine horses, if the left side suffered another heavy blow, the Great Song Dynasty's losses were too great. The total army on the left was less than 100,000, and Zhang Jun's army on the middle road accounted for half of it, and if the army on the middle road was annihilated, it would be followed by Yao Gu's vanguard army of more than 20,000. Tens of thousands of Great Song Erlang, even if there are more Great Song people, they can't withstand such a burial.

Zhao Yougong got serious, how dignified he was, Zhao Yougong was under a lot of pressure these days, so Mu Wanqing didn't want to let him worry about it anymore, so he was not happy, and he nodded and got up and walked out of the handsome tent.

At midnight on April 20, Zhang Jun, who was asleep, was awakened by a sound, and when he woke up, he saw a dart stuck in the head of the bed, and a note tied to the dart. After glancing at the contents of the note, Zhang Jun sneered a few times, the Liao people are poor, and they even used this kind of deceptive method. There will be tens of thousands of cavalry in Huairen City, why doesn't he Zhang Jun know? If Yelu Dashi hid in Huairen City and waited to support Heyin, he would still believe it, but if the small Huairen City hid tens of thousands of cavalry, he would be a deceitful ghost, right? A few days ago, scouts sent a lot, and Huairen City also inquired many times, where there were only 5,000 soldiers and horses from Yunzhong Mansion who were temporarily transferred, where was there any trace of cavalry? The small Huairen City, if there are tens of thousands of cavalry hidden, can you still show any horses' feet?

Zhang Jun was so confident that he sneered a few times and threw the note aside, at this time he had no idea how much his conceit would hurt the tens of thousands of troops. Of course, Zhang Jun can't be blamed at this time, if you want to blame, you can only blame Zhang Jun's spies for acting too hastily, they just visited the military camps as usual, and they didn't go to Huairen to investigate everywhere at all, if you are a little more careful, you will find that Huairen City is much more ordinary and strong.

In fact, Zhao Yougong was right to suspect that there were indeed more than 10,000 cavalry hidden in Huairen City. In order to settle the situation in the first battle, Yelu Dashi can be said to be a scheming and calculating, and wrote to Linhuang Mansion, and transferred more than 10,000 elite cavalry from Shangjing, and these cavalry arrived in Fengshengzhou in the north of Xijing, dressed up as a hundred horse team merchants, and slowly infiltrated Huairen City in batches through Yunzhong Mansion one after another. More than 10,000 cavalry, it took nearly ten days to sneak into Huairen City, these cavalry to Huairen, scattered to occupy the people's houses, horses are also scattered in groups of three or five to take away, it can be said that the whole is broken into zero, in order to hide Zhang Jun's exploration of the horse, Yelu Dashi can be regarded as a painstaking effort. In order to make things more realistic, there were five thousand infantry from Yunzhong Mansion who pretended to be transferred, so Zhang Jun had no worries.

Tens of thousands of troops attacking Heyin may not be able to attack it, and they may not be able to defeat Yelu Dashi, but as long as they want to withdraw from Shijie Valley, who can stop it?

The next day, before the war, Zhang Junti didn't mention last night's incident, he felt that it was unnecessary, not to mention that it would disturb the morale of the army in vain. At this time, Zhang Junman was thinking about how to ask for a military merit, even if the casualties were heavier, it was worth it. Over the years, Liu Guangshi has taken advantage of the blessing of his Lao Tzu, and his official position has risen up, and now he is already a Xijing appeasement envoy, if he Zhang Jun doesn't catch up, he will be thrown farther and farther away.

Under Zhang Jun, six generals lined up, Cheng Fang, Qian Lin, Qiao Huanfeng, Ma Jiaoxiao, Zhou Chunzheng, and Shen Bao. Among the six generals, Cheng Fang and Shen Bao are Zhang Jun's old generals, and the rest are all from the border armies everywhere and serve as commanders.

Zhang Jun held the sword in his hand, and said with full of anger, "The generals listen to the order, and after they go back, they will control the soldiers and horses of all the troops, and set off at the right time, and the troops will go out of Shijie Valley, detour to the south of Mayi, and attack Heyin City in the south of Huairen." ”

At the sound of the order, all the generals got up and shouted "Woo". It's just that the expressions of other people are different, Cheng Fang's knife-cut face has been tense, Zhang Jun also saw that Cheng Fang seemed to have something to say, he turned his head and asked, "Commander Cheng has anything to add?"
