Under the city of Xiongzhou, a barracks was filled with a joyful atmosphere, and the soldiers of the Song army were talking and laughing and shouting happily, venting their joy to their heart's content. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
This year, for the Song Dynasty, is extraordinary. What is remarkable is that the Song Dynasty finally raised its eyebrows, which was something that had never happened in the hundreds of years of Song-Liao wars.
First, the Conversion Army robbed the New Year's coins, and then tens of thousands of troops went deep into the Liao border to plunder, harvested extremely richly, and killed more than 73,000 Liao troops, which was a feat in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Such a result is of course gratifying. However, what made the soldiers of the Song army the happiest was that they were confident, and they were no longer like before, and they were about to flee when they saw the Liao army. On the contrary, they can hold their heads high in front of the Liao army, puff up their chests, and proudly say "Liao dogs, you also have this day."
In this sentence, when the Song army went deep into the Liao border to plunder, it defeated the Liao army and killed the Liao army. Although this sentence is simple, it makes their blood surge.
"Brother, see you again!"
"Yes! Meet again. Thinking about this year, we are so happy that Liao Gou is about to run away when he sees us. ”
"That is, who told us to be so capable of fighting? Our thunderbolts, our knives, our bows...... Which one doesn't make Liao Dog afraid? ”
"Think about how happy it was when we went deep into the Liao realm to plunder, and chased the Liao dog and fled like a dog!"
"Liao Dog Liao Dog, with the word dog, can you not run away like a dog?"
As soon as the soldiers met, they talked about joy, and the more they talked, the more joyful they became.
"Get something!" Just when the soldiers were talking happily, someone suddenly gave an order, and I saw a group of baggage soldiers coming over with a cart and shouting at the soldiers.
"It must be wine and meat!"
"Needless to say? This year, we have won such a big battle, and if we don't drink it, we will have it! ”
The soldiers really wanted to get drunk as a way to vent their joy. However, what they didn't expect was that it was not wine and meat, but dry food, and generations of horses. Ma ** is the drink of the Liao army, which can not only quench thirst, but also satisfy hunger.
"How is it dry food? And the horse**? ”
"We're not going to fight, this is the New Year, what are we doing here?"
The soldiers of the Song army were stunned, you look at me, I look at you, no one knows.
At this moment, a team of heralds arrived and ordered loudly: "The king has an order: dry food and horses must not be eaten without permission!" Violators, chop! "Repeated orders, quick departure.
"This ......" The soldiers were all dumbfounded, and their faces were confused.
Dry food and horses are sent down at this time, which is a surprising thing. What surprised them even more was that they were not allowed to eat it. If you eat it, you will kill your head, which is too heavy.
If there was no such military order, they would not be so surprised, even if they did not understand why they sent dry food and horses.
"There's no going to be another war, is it?"
"Hugh is talking nonsense! How can there be a war in the New Year? ”
"Then you say, why do you send dry food and horses? Look at this amount, it's a full five days. If you don't fight, you can send so much? ”
The soldiers discussed and discussed, but they didn't understand, but the more they discussed, the more confused they became. However, one thing they still know is that this year is extraordinary.
xxxxxx Xiongzhou City, Wang Shao's handsome mansion, the generals will stand on two sides. Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, Han Fang, and Fang Ren are all here, all holding their heads high and in good spirits.
Wang Shao stood with a pair of tiger eyes shining brightly, scanning the generals, and slowly spoke: "This year, we raised our eyebrows and fought a great victory!" Although we did not capture a single city in Liao, we killed more than 73,000 Liao dogs, which has never happened in hundreds of years! You rushed to Xiongzhou in a hurry, did you think that I would invite you to a banquet and get drunk? ”
"Huh!" Who doesn't think so? I couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter, very happy.
"I tell you, you can wake up from your dreams! I won't invite you to drink......" Wang Shao's words had just begun when he was interrupted by the surprise of the generals.
"Ahh Don't drink alcohol! The generals were disappointed. According to their thoughts, when they rush to Xiongzhou, they must be drinking and feasting. Wang Shao made it clear in the military order how happy they were when they received the military order. Where do you think about it, when you arrive, it is such a result, or you can't be disappointed.
"I'm disappointed that I didn't have any alcohol?" Wang Shao's voice suddenly turned high, and he said, "I can ask you to drink blood!" The blood of the Liao dog! Have you ever planted to drink? ”
These words were so amazing, like thunder on the ground, shaking the generals like wood carvings, standing stupidly, and even forgetting to speak. After a long time, someone finally reacted and asked, "Wang Shumi, do you want to kill Liaogou?" ”
"That's right! Are you going to kill Liaogou? "The generals finally understood, and they were very excited.
"I haven't done it yet, so I don't think it's going to be bad, right?"
"Hey, hey! Seeing that the New Year is coming, it is really happy to let Liaogou not celebrate the New Year! ”
The generals began to talk about it.
"Wang Shumi, where are we fighting? You give the order, and we will fight wherever you say. ”
"That's right! Secret, O King, give your order! ”
The generals were particularly excited, shouting loudly, and for a while, there was a buzz in the Shuaifu.
"Shut up!" Wang Shao broke off, and the discussion of the generals stopped abruptly as if they had been cut off.
"You don't have to know where to fight. As long as you know, be prepared, and obey the dispatch of Wu Du's command. As for anything else, don't ask at all! Wang Shao's voice was very loud, like a thunderbolt on the ground, which shook the ear drums of the generals.
You can't even ask, you can only execute, they are all generals who have been baptized on the battlefield, and of course they understand what this means. This means that the plan of this operation is huge, and there can be no leakage in the slightest, and the order is received in unison.
"Go back first and give the order, that your brothers may rest. When it gets dark, assemble again. Then you will know what to do! Go ahead! Wang Shao's face was solemn, and with a wave of his big hand, the generals gave a salute and retired.
After the generals retreated, Wang Shao came to the map and looked at the map, with a pair of tiger eyes shining brightly. His chest rose and fell sharply, and he was also very nervous. Such a big plan, when it comes to execution, if you are not nervous, then you are not human.
At this moment, Wu Ji came in, Wang Shao turned around and asked, "Brother Wu, have the things been sent?" ”
"It's all down! The military order has been delivered! Wu Ji nodded.
"Did you make a fuss?" Wang Shao was still a little worried. For the sake of secrecy, they had to do this, but this was too abrupt for the soldiers, and it was understandable that they had a strong scratch.
"There is discussion, but there is no trouble." Wu Ji smiled slightly and said, "The brothers are all people who have been on the battlefield, so they naturally understand what this means, and they are looking forward to it." ”
"That's good!" Wang Shao nodded heavily and said, "You're going to leave in the evening, let's rest first." Say goodbye to your siblings! ”
xxxxxx Wu's military industry, Wu Ji brought Yang Xiuxiu and Wu Qing's relatives over, and said: "I'm going to inspect military affairs, and I'm going to leave for a while, and the affairs of Wu's military industry will be handed over to you." ”
Wu Ji has a lot of military affairs, and if he wants to leave, it is reasonable. Yang Xiuxiu and Wu Qing naturally didn't have any suspicions, but just told Wu Ji to be careful, don't freeze.
Yang Xiuxiu was even more considerate, cooked in person, and made a delicious meal for Wu Ji. After eating, it was already late, Wu Ji and Yang Xiuxiu said goodbye, took Wu Jian and Wu Xing, and went out of the city.
When he came to the city gate, Wang Shao was waiting for him. Seeing that Wu Ji had arrived, he greeted the general and said, "Brother Wu, I have you for it!" ”
"The king's secret words are serious! Being able to contribute to the country and work hard for the prosperity of China is really a blessing for my generation of men! Wu Ji smiled.
The generals came up and saluted, Wang Shao said: "Wu Du commanded you to assign tasks, you have to hear clearly." This time, the stakes are high, and there is no room for error! Whoever it is, go wrong, chop! ”
A chopping word, like a scorching thunder, made the generals awe-inspiring, and did not dare to have the slightest luck.
Next, Wu Ji assigned the generals a march route. It is inevitable that tens of thousands of troops will be dispatched, and it is impossible to concentrate on one road and advance by different routes. The route of the march, Wu Ji and Wang Shao had already drawn up, and it was assigned in an orderly manner, and it was soon completed.
This assignment is very different from the past, from beginning to end, it is Wu Ji who is talking alone, and the generals remember the military orders that cannot be inquired, and no one asks questions.
After the distribution is completed, the generals will retire and return to their own formation.
Wu Ji, accompanied by Wang Shao, came to the front of the team. The forward army had already been assembled in accordance with the military order, and when it came to the darkness of the night, a large area of black oppression was like a huge dark cloud, giving people a sense of oppression.
The torches were lit and surrounded Wu Ji, which was the only light in the entire military array. The soldiers looked at Wu Ji, and there was no shortage of surprises. We all know that the Song Dynasty can have this situation, Wu Ji is indispensable, it can be said that he has made great contributions, and Wu Ji is very popular with the soldiers.
"Brethren: This year is a great year! It's a good year to harvest the head of a Liao dog! As soon as Wu Ji spoke, he went to the hearts of the soldiers: "First, the Conversion Army harvested 8,000 heads of Liao dogs. Later, 80,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty harvested the heads of more than 73,000 Liao dogs, a total of more than 81,000 heads. In the 100-year history of the Great Song Dynasty, it has never been possible to harvest so many heads of Liao dogs in one year! We should be proud! Long live the Great Song! ”
"Long live the Great Song!" The earth-shattering roar shook the ground.
"As the old year is about to pass and the new year is coming, it is a good time to harvest the heads of Liao dogs, and we can't miss it!" Wu Ji then said: "When the New Year comes, we can enjoy fine wine, but although the wine is good, it is not as good as the blood of Liao dogs!" Let's go deep into the Liao realm again, harvest the head of the Liao dog, and drink the blood of the Liao dog! ”
"Harvest the head of the Liao dog!"
"Drink the blood of Liao dogs!"
Wu Ji's reprimand was very shocking, and the soldiers were all overjoyed and roared vigorously.
"Let's go!" Wu Ji turned the horse's head and walked in the head.
"Rumble!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and the 50,000 army entered the Liao realm under the cover of night.
A big battle related to the fate of China has begun!
