Chapter 274

Yang Wenguang twisted and said, "Lord Wang, it's not money!" ”

"Oh!?" Zhao Yu said with some surprise: "It's not money, it's a treasure, well, this is normal." After all, Nafan Prefecture is a poor place, and it is impossible to say that there is a lot of money, but it is normal to say that there are any novel treasures! ”

Yang Wenguang coughed, twisting and pinching like a big girl preparing to get married. Zhao Yu's heart moved, and he was a little clear. "Lord Wang, the last general was injured when he was surrounded by soldiers on the hill before, before the prince broke the siege, it was quite difficult, the last general once led people to break through, but unfortunately missed, almost captured. Fortunately, he was able to return to the army thanks to a barbarian girl in the camp at that time. Now I know that the barbarian girl in the past is the sister of Liao Chen, that ...... Liao Chen had already promised to marry his sister to the last general...... The last general really can't help but come to the rescue! ”

Zhao Yu laughed and said, "What's this?" This king has long had the intention of surrendering to that Liao Chen, but he has been busy with affairs recently, and he can't take care of him! This is what the king has promised! But will your old lady agree? ”

When Yang Wenguang heard this, he was overjoyed at first, and after listening to Zhao Yu's words, his face immediately collapsed. said bitterly: "When a side room, there should be no problem!" ”

At that moment, Zhao Yu summoned Liao Chen, Liao Chen saw things clearly, and he was not willing to die like this, so he readily agreed to Zhao Yu's surrender.

Since he surrendered, he naturally had to give the other party some sweetness. Zhao Yu named Liao Chen as Renyong's lieutenant (Zheng Jiupin), and served as the commander of the Rui Shi Battalion.

The Ruishi Battalion was already prepared for establishment by Zhao Yu before, and now it is also pushing the boat to let Liao Chen be the commander.

Sharp soldiers, elite soldiers!

However, this camp of sharp soldiers was not organized by the Song people, but selected 800 elite barbarians from the captives of Fanzhou. Although the equipment and weapons were not released, they were also a few points stronger than the ordinary Song army. In addition to iron armor and war horses, it is necessary to give a strong crossbow to a strong crossbow and a sharp knife to a sharp knife.

The reason why he didn't give the ironclad war horse was not because Zhao Yu had any scruples about the Ruishi camp. The barbarian soldiers selected from the Ruishi camp not only need to be strong, but also have to be old and young, and their families are all in Zhao Yu's hands. Zhao Yu let them go, and few people dared to make trouble.

The reason why it is such equipment is because Zhao Yu wants to use the Ruishi battalion as a forward to attack Anhua Prefecture. Anhua Prefecture is located in the middle of high mountains and deep streams, although the Song army is elite, but in this terrain, ten percent of the combat effectiveness has exerted seven achievements is already good.

However, in order to prevent the Ruishi battalion from defecting, Zhao Yu still sent more than 30 officers and soldiers to the Ruishi battalion, and the leader was Yang Wenguang. Because of the merit of capturing Liao Chen alive, he was promoted to one level and served as the deputy commander of the Ruishi Battalion. Liao Chen and Yang Wenguang are in-laws, although they know Zhao Yu's intentions, they will be much easier to accept.

In addition, Zhao Yu also selected 2,000 barbarian soldiers from the original captives to form a servant army and implement a joint sitting system. Ten people and one tithe, one person escapes, and one tithe! One run away, cut one (100 people)!

In this way, Zhao Yu had 2,000 Song troops, 2,000 servant troops, and 800 Ruishi battalions. The total is nearly 5,000 men and horses, and the army is mighty.

And the follow-up defense of Longshui City was taken over by the suspicious soldiers brought by Ma Yu.

After resting for two days, the army went straight to Huaiyuan Village.

When he arrived near Huaiyuan Village, Feng Changqi also rushed over, which made the think tank under Zhao Yu even stronger.

At present, there are only four or five hundred barbarian soldiers stationed in Huaiyuan Village, and when they see this formation, they are heartbroken. The courage to fight in connection was gone, and when the Song army was still ten miles away from Huaiyuan Village, they had already begun to carry supplies and prepare to escape.

It was Shen Qizong who served as the pioneer, and he was the one who served as the owner of Huaiyuan Village, but Shen Qizong's record as the owner of Huaiyuan Village was not good.

For the first time, Feng Changqi led an army of 30,000 down the river, and Shen Qizong had to lead people to abandon Huaiyuan Village and retreat to Longshui City with the people.

The second time was exchanged by wood, that is, the current Yang Yu set up a plan to transfer the tiger away from the mountain and lost Huaiyuan Village.

Later, although Shen Qizong had the exploits of defending Longshui City alone with the defeat of the remnants, Huaiyuan Village was a pain in Shen Qizong's heart. Because of this, it was Liao Chen who originally held the position of pioneer, but Shen Qizong strongly asked for battle, which won Zhao Yu's approval.

How could Shen Qizong be willing to let these brutes leave?

If this group of brutes was really allowed to retreat, Shen Qizong would really be slapped in the face nakedly. Even if Zhao Yu didn't say anything, Shen Qizong was embarrassed to say anything.

However, although Shen Qizong has a lot of troops, there are two problems. First, there are not many war horses in the Song army, which is a situation that exists there, and there are more than forty horses under Shen Qizong's command. No matter how bad the barbarians were, there were four or five hundred people. And if you don't have to chase after the cavalry, there are five or six miles of land now, which seems not far, but there is the Longjiang River in front of you in the middle, how about crossing the river It will take a few quarters of an hour, right? How could the infantry catch up?

The second reason is that if there is such a situation, it is generally necessary to report to Zhao Yu, otherwise it is an unauthorized action. This matter can be big or small, Shangguan should have no matter, you have nothing to do. When there is something going on in the official, it is possible to get rid of the official position if he doesn't get it right.

Shen Qizong thought about it, gritted his teeth, found the deputy general, and said, "Those barbarians in Huaiyuan Village are about to retreat!" Can't let them go so easily! ”

The adjutant general asked with a puzzled expression, "So what does the general mean?" ”

Shen Qizong said: "I have been stationed in Huaiyuan Village all the year round, and I know that there is a section of the Longjiang River here where the water flow is gentle, and it is already winter, although there are many cold winters, but the river has also narrowed, and there is no problem at all to wade across the river with war horses!" ”

"What? General, you mean to set off with cavalry alone? This is unacceptable! If the prince knew about this, I was afraid that he would punish the general? The order that the prince gave us was just to take Huaiyuan Village, why bother with so many things? The adjutant general was shocked and hurriedly dissuaded.

Probably because of his improper position, coupled with the defeat of the Northern Expedition to Liao, Song Taizong's restrictions on the army were even greater than those of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin. When it came to Song Zhenzong, he also adhered to his father's will, not to mention Song Renzong. Filial piety to children! How can it be possible to change the policy set by his grandfather and father?

This also led to the internal rigidity of the Song army at that time, and even when the army went out, the emperor gave you a set of formation diagrams, and asked you to go to the battlefield and set up a formation against the enemy according to the formation diagram. Although this matter is not so bad now, it is impossible to say that the policy has changed for the better all of a sudden.

Shen Qizong said forcefully: "If the prince has any punishment, he will bear it!" After I leave, you will be in charge of the affairs of the army! ”

"General, this is too risky! There were only more than forty horsemen under his command to charge into battle, in case they were folded inside. Doesn't the general want to think about his mother, wife and children at home? How sad they would be! Seeing that Shen Qizong could not be persuaded by military orders, the deputy general immediately changed his strategy and persuaded Shen Qizong from the perspective of family affection.

Hearing this, Shen Qizong wanted to say that there was no hesitation, it was impossible, but he quickly reasserted his position. "A man should die in the wilderness, and bury his ears with a horse leather shroud! How can you still think of your wife and children on the battlefield and spare your life? ”

The lieutenant has no choice. On the one hand, he could only send someone to tell Zhao Yu about the situation, and on the other hand, he saw Shen Qizong mobilize more than 40 cavalry and leave with his horses.

Zhao Yu got the news and couldn't help but be taken aback. Shen Qizong is a person he appreciates very much, and wants to cultivate it by his side. Ronnie Shen must be capable, talented, and talented. Although in terms of his record since joining the army, Shen Qizong has lost more than he has won, and he seems to be incompetent! But Zhao Yu saw a perseverance and tenacity in Shen Qizong.

After losing Huaiyuan Village, Zhang Hanyang was defeated by An Huaman in Sanhe Village. It was Shen Qizong's morale boosting the morale of defending the city with injuries and taking the lead. It must be known that a few days ago, Ronnie Shen met a defeat. If you change to an ordinary person and receive such a blow, how can it not be affected?

Thinking about Gongsun Chan in the Three Kingdoms, he can be regarded as a hero. Attacking the Hu people in the north, resisting Yuan Shao in the south, and occupying the land of Sizhou when it was the strongest. But such a heroic figure, after being defeated by Yuan Shao, built a tower and stuck to it, even if the enemy came, he put down a bamboo basket on the tower to communicate with his subordinates, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.

Gongsun Zhan's later ending, needless to say.

Both civil and military, as well as this unforgiving surname, Zhao Yu is afraid that he will break Shen Qizong. At that moment, Zhao Yu ordered his subordinates' personal guard cavalry, a total of 200 cavalry, and without giving an explanation, he went straight to Huaiyuan Village.

However, he said that Shen Qizong, after finding a suitable section of the river, endured the cold water, crossed the river, and saw the barbarians withdrawing from Huaiyuan Village.

At that moment, a general came up to ask for battle: "Lord, the enemy is just half out of the city, we will kill it at this time, just in response to the art of war said that we will cross the half and attack, and we can win a big victory!" ”

Shen Qizong shook his head and refused: "What you said seems to be right, but in fact it is not. If we kill at this time, we will lose our surname, and the other party has a city wall to rely on, and we will kill some people at most, and then we will retreat. After those brute soldiers were prepared, they rode more than forty horses to charge into battle, and even if they were victorious, they would be a miserable victory! ”

After a pause, Shen Qizong continued: "When these barbarians leave the city, we will kill them again." Don't kill those who hold the treasure there, but kill the brutes who set out lightly. People have a sense of luck, and when they see that they are not in danger, they will not leave the gold and silver behind. ”

The general hesitated and said: "General, we soldiers all work with our heads, if there is no capture, I am afraid that the sons below have opinions!" ”

Shen Qizong chuckled disapprovingly, and said, "Why don't you want to think about it, when we kill all those lightly armed brute soldiers, these brute soldiers with heavy gold and silver can go there?" Don't forget that we're four-legged, so we're all going to lose it? (To be continued.) )
