Chapter Thirty-Nine: Joining Forces
Since Shi Jingjiao ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan, there have been endless disasters. It is precisely because the Khitans controlled the sixteen states of Yanyun that they could drive straight into the Central Plains and cause great damage to the Central Plains.
In order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, countless people are working hard, and the emperors of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong, Song Taizu, and Song Taizong are no exception. At that time, in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, countless hot-blooded people went forward one after another, throwing their heads and spilling their blood. However, none of them succeeded, although Zhou Shizong Chai Rong almost succeeded, but in the end he failed.
In order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty once invested a large army to fight, and once fought outside the city of Youzhou, but in the end it was still a failure, and Song Taizong fled in a donkey cart.
This was the Song Dynasty's greatest effort to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and since then, it has never tried so hard and embarked on the road of weakness.
Despite this, the people of the land of Yanyun are still not reconciled, they still identify with the Song Dynasty as orthodox, do not recognize the Liao State, and are still resisting, and Qiyun Society is one of the representatives.
Stirring up the storm in the sixteen states of Yanyun, that is the goal that countless passionate people are fighting for, it really makes people's hearts stir, Yanshanke is extremely excited at this moment, the light in his eyes flashes, bright as the nine heavens.
"I didn't expect that the land of Yanyun has been lost for more than a hundred years, and there are still such hot-blooded men! Perhaps, this is the reason why the Chinese nation is standing firm! Because they are the backbone of the Chinese nation! Wu Ji saw Yan Shanke's expression in his eyes and was very emotional.
Think about the later generations, how many disasters there were, the Song Dynasty died at the hands of the Mongols, the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the Central Plains, the foreign powers invaded, and the Chinese nation did not give in, because our backbone is straight!
"Yan Zhao Duohaoshi, it is true! The heroes of Qiyun Club are admirable! Wu Ji exclaimed loudly.
"Xie Wudu commanded praise!" Yan Shanke took a breath, calmed his mind, and said, "Commander Wudu, are you willing to join forces with our Qiyun Society?" ”
"Good!" Wu Ji agreed loudly: "Tell me, how can I help you?" ”
Qi Yunshe's rebellion against the Liao State must have been difficult, and Wu Ji really wanted to help them.
"Huh! The kindness of Xie Wudu's command, although we are in many difficulties, can still support it. Yan Shanke let out a burst of laughter and said, "It would be best if Commander Wu Du could sell us more thunderbolts." ”
The power of thunderbolts is well known, and if the Qiyun Society can have more thunderbolts, they will make even more noise.
"No problem." Wu Ji was determined to arm Qi Yun Society well so that they would have more room to play.
"Commander Wu Du, outside of this, I think what you get, we will divide it into three." Yan Shanke smiled slightly, a little embarrassed, and said, "Although Commander Wu Du wants to help us, however, the power of Commander Wu Du alone is limited. If we can score three percent of what you have scored, our Qiyun Society will be even stronger, and Liaogou will have even more headaches. ”
"Thirty percent? Isn't it more? Wu Ji raised his eyebrows.
"Not much." Yan Shanke waved his right hand lightly and said, "Commander Wudu, you must know that in addition to providing information, our Qiyun Club can also provide you with more convenience, can lead the way for you, and if necessary, can also cover for you." The most important point is that the proceeds of the seizure will be handed over to the imperial court under the command of Wu Du. When the time comes, it will either be corrupted by the officials of the DPRK and the central government, or it will not be used well, and it is better to hand it over to us than this. With these gains, we can let go of our hands and feet, and we can't do it if we want the land of Yanyun to be turbulent. ”
Wu Ji's seizures were too much, and he couldn't use them up himself, so he had to hand them over to the imperial court. With the [***] of the Song Dynasty, there will indeed be official corruption. Even if they don't give corruption, they can't use it well. The reason why the war horses captured last year can still play a huge role is because Wang Shao is at the border pass, if the generals are changed, these war horses will not be of great use, they will be scattered, and the cavalry will become an auxiliary army.
Yan Shanke's words were at an important point, which also reminded Wu Ji that he secretly decided: "If you want to maximize my capture, only I can control more troops." Only then can these things play a greater role. If you want to master more troops, you can only get promoted. Although I didn't want to be an official so much, I had to climb up. ”
The idea must be determined, and Wu Ji has a decision: "Sancheng, I can give it to you." ”
"Good! Xie Wudu commanded. Yan Shanke stood up and bowed to Wu Ji.
Wu Ji returned the salute, and Yan Shanke said goodbye: "Commander Wudu, I can't stay for a long time, so I'll send someone to come and act with Commander Wudu, if you have something, you can ask him." ”
Yan Shanke's identity is too sensitive, if he stays here for too long, it will be dangerous, Wu Ji can understand, immediately bid him goodbye, go out of the house, ride a horse, and go back with Qi Dabao.
After Wu Ji left, a man asked Yan Shanke: "Leader, what do you say about Wu Ji?" ”
"Not bad! Very good! Yanshan Keda appreciated: "Since Yang Yanzhao, there is another good general." If this person can hold more troops, it is really difficult to say that this place is really difficult to say, and it is possible to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”
"Recovering the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?" The man was a little unconvinced: "The court is weak, even if you want to recover it, you are powerless." Even if it is as strong as Yang Yanzhao, it has not been taken back. ”
"Huh!" Yan Shanke let out a burst of laughter and said, "This person is different from Yang Yanzhao. Yang Yanzhao guards the three passes, focusing on one word, Liaogou does not violate the realm, he will not attack. Even if they attack, they are limited. And Wu Ji is different, he doesn't care whether Liaogou commits the realm or not, he will attack. Since the creation of the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has not had such a general. If he could have more troops, I would say, he would attack the cities of Liao. We will try our best to help him so that he can have more troops as soon as possible, and by that time, the land of Yanyun will be turbulent. ”
xxxxxxxxx Wu Ji returned to the hidden place of the Converting Army, only to see that Huangfu Song had also arrived, most of the Converts had come, and a small number were coming. Wu Jida was satisfied with the speed of the march.
"Commander Wu Du, the people of Qiyun Society are here." Qi Dabao came in to report.
"Please!" Wu Ji stood up and went out to greet him. I saw a man in his twenties, thin and thin, clasped his fists and saluted, and said, "In Xia Zhangtong, I have seen Wu Du commanding." ”
Wu Ji cupped his fists and saluted back, saying, "Please!" ”
Invited Zhang Tong into the house, Qi Dabao hurriedly served the tea and sat aside. Zhang Tong didn't talk nonsense, went straight to the point, and said: "Although there is no change in the horse farm in Laishui, there is still a distance of four or five hundred miles from here, and if you go like this, it is likely to alarm the nearby Liao army." Although there are not many Liao troops in this vicinity, it is troublesome to be alarmed. I have a little opinion below, and I also ask Commander Wu Du to consider it. ”
"I'm asking for advice." How to go to Laishui, Wu Ji has his own ideas, but it does not prevent Wu Ji from listening to Qi Yunshe's views.
Zhang Tong took out a map, spread it on the table, and said, "Start from here, rest here, and then go straight to the racecourse." I think it's better for the converts to move at night. ”
His thoughts coincided with Wu Ji's thoughts, and Wu Ji also thought the same, and immediately agreed: "This is very good." Brothers, we want to hide, and at night, we will move again. ”
At the sound of an order, the converts began to prepare and hidden. The converted troops arrived one after another, and there were no accidents, which was even better than Wu Ji expected.
Wu Ji, Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao and Zhang Tong spoke together, Wu Ji asked about the situation in the land of Yanyun, Zhang Tong knew everything, and said everything. Qiyun Society is too familiar with the land of Yanyun, the geography of mountains and rivers, human customs, everything is known, everything is known.
After this long talk, Wu Ji understood the land of Yanyun in more detail. secretly thought, it is really good to cooperate with Qi Yun Society. With their help, it will be more convenient to do it to the Liao State in the future, this is a ready-made intelligence network. The intelligence resources that Qi Yunshe has mastered, even the Song Dynasty probably did not say so.
"Wu Du commands, there is no change in the horse farm, it is better to take all these places." Zhang Tong was very excited, his white fingers kept moving on the map, and the places he pointed to were all weak points of the Liao State, and they were still within the strike range of the Guixin Army.
"Yes! If we give these places, we will gain even more. Huangfu Song and Qi Dabao echoed in unison.
"Settle the horse farm first, and then it depends on the situation. This also has to ask Qi Yunshe to keep an eye on these places. Wu Ji didn't say anything. Planning is not as fast as changing, and on the battlefield, it changes rapidly, depending on the situation.
"It's good! I'll send someone to keep an eye on me. Zhang Tong nodded heavily, looking forward to it: "Put the horse farm, and then take these sides, will Yelu Hongji be so angry that he vomits blood?" ”
"Definitely!" Huangfu Song took over the conversation and boldly guessed: "Our operation this time is the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty that we have gone deep into the Liao realm to plunder, Yelu Hongji will never think that he will not be angry." ”
"So, we're going to do it once, and it's best to make him angry!" Qi Dabao's face was full of red light, and his tone was a little sharp.
The four of them talked about it, time flies, and the most talked about is how to rob the Liao State, the reason is that the Liao State has captured the Song Dynasty for hundreds of years, and it is the turn of the Song Dynasty to rob the Liao State. The more they talked, the more excited they became, and soon it was evening.
Wu Ji gave an order, and the Returning Army quietly set off, and under the guidance of the heroes of Qiyun Society, they marched towards the next station. The guide of Qiyun Club was very familiar with this area, and there were no accidents, not even the shadow of the Liao army was found, and he smoothly entered the next place.
This is a forest, more than ten miles in size. The converts hid in it, put out a guard post, and the trees were immediately heavily guarded.
After spending a day in the trees, the converts set out again. The guide of Qiyun Club is familiar with this area, and the Returning Army has successfully approached the racecourse.
When I arrived at the horse farm, it was dawn, and when I looked at it from a distance, I saw a large horse farm, and there must have been a lot of horses in it. However, there were quite a few Liao troops stationed and heavily guarded, and there were Liao troops patrolling from time to time.
"It's over! We forgot one thing. How can we be good that we should arrive in the evening, and now that day is dawn? Huangfu Song slapped his forehead, very annoyed.
"There's no place to cover here, so how can you arrive at night?" Qi Dabao was also dumbfounded.
"Yes! Commander Wu Du, why don't you remind me? Zhang Tong also regretted it. At that time, he was only thinking about how to bring the converts to the racecourse in the most covert way, but he did not think about the danger after arriving at the racecourse.
"Huh!" Wu Ji smiled, smiling happily: "What are you worried about such a good opportunity?" Listen to me. ”
As soon as Wu Ji said his thoughts, Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, and Zhang Tong were all dumbfounded, and exclaimed in unison: "Can this work?" ”
