PS: Recommend a book "Good and Evil Without Sword" If you want to know the protagonist who hovers between light and darkness, how to investigate good and evil, dominate the situation, and watch the martial arts masterpiece of the royal sister

By the time Chao Yong arrived in Mozhou, Da Liang was determined to resist foreign aggression, and the news of reshaping the backbone of the Han people had spread throughout Hebei. Because in order to obtain military merits, the Jinjuin asked the post officials to transmit the newspaper to the state capitals day and night, and then printed it on a large scale.

The state capitals of Hebei are the places most invaded by the Liao State, and the people heard that Daliang was going to attack the invading Liao soldiers and horses, and they were immediately excited, and the recruitment offices of the daring soldiers in the state capitals were crowded.

In the city of Tokyo, after Huang Qianshan was executed for treason, and Daliang erected a stone monument outside the palace that he would never be humiliated and sued for peace, and would not be convicted for his words, there was a heated discussion in the city.

Many people ignored the upcoming imperial examination, and threw enthusiastic poems and articles into the newspaper every day. According to Chao Yong's instructions, the marching officer also selected a few enthusiastic articles from the articles of the lifters from time to time, so that the lifters could more actively join in the reshaping of the backbone of the Han people.

When they were still five miles away from Mozhou, the three of them saw a team of patrol posts.

Although the two countries have not yet been at war, Lu Junyi did not dare to be careless at all, and set up patrols in all directions to avoid a sudden sneak attack by the Liao State Iron Cavalry.

Chao Yong immediately asked Xue Yong to come forward and ask where Lu Junyi's camp was.

The patrol checked the prince's token, and hurriedly sent one person to the camp to report the news, and one person took Chao Yong and the three to the camp.

Chao Yong could no longer gallop on his horse, which would inevitably make people suspect that it was a surprise attack to inspect the barracks, and when he slowed down his horse to the camp, he saw Lu Junyi leading the generals to greet him outside the camp gate.

Lu Junyi saw that Chao Yong only brought two people here, and he also knew why Chao Yong was able to arrive at the front line so quickly.

Chao Yong saw that everyone was at the gate of the camp to greet him, so he also dismounted and walked.

Everyone saw the salute together, and they came to the big tent of the Chinese army together.

Chao Yong watched the soldiers in the camp practice in an orderly manner, and nodded secretly.

Entering the big tent, Chao Yong asked, "Can the Liao soldiers cross the border?" ”

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "No, but they have gathered 50,000 soldiers and horses on the other side of the Baigou River." ”

"So Xiongzhou still only has the traitorous Song Dynasty forbidden army?"

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "Many soldiers in Xiongzhou are unwilling to return to the Liao State. They have escaped for a few days, and now there are only about 2,000 soldiers left in the city. ”

Chao Yong looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Are the armies ready to go to battle?" ”

Lu Junyi got up and said: "After receiving the official document from the imperial court, we will be ready to fight at any time." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, Dong Ping, you have fought with the Liao soldiers, if our army and the Liao soldiers fight a decisive battle, what are the odds of victory?" ”

Dong Ping got up and said: "The two armies are equal in number, if our army defends the city, the Liao soldiers will definitely not be able to capture the city." ”

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "The Song-Liao border is long. Even if you hold a few cities, the Liao soldiers can also directly enter the hinterland of Hebei, and then the people of our Liang will suffer. ”

"If it is a field battle, the number of people is equal, and even if our army wins, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory."

Chao Yong didn't have much confidence when he saw what Dong Ping said, and he also knew that the combat power of the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry could not be underestimated. The Great Liang soldiers and horses were invincible only because they were facing the rotten Song army, and they were not really invincible in the world.

Chao Yong's plan was to give the Liao State a head-on blow, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. After all, among the 50,000 soldiers. There are less than 10,000 veterans in Liangshan, and the rest are the Song Dynasty forbidden army that has just been reorganized for a few months, and just a few months are not enough for the Song Dynasty forbidden army to become a strong army, not to mention that they have not experienced any war after the reorganization. And although the Liao State has also been peaceful for a long time. However, the frequent cross-border fighting in the grass valley also allowed the Liao soldiers to maintain a good combat power.

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "How much black powder is there in the camp?" ”

Lu Junyi said: "I haven't used it since I sent out the army, and I have five hundred catties." ”

Chao Yong nodded and said, "It's enough, it seems that we still have to rely on black powder to give the Liao soldiers a head-on blow." Let them not dare to invade our Central Plains again. Let's go back and prepare, tomorrow we will go north and retake Xiongzhou. ”

Dong Ping immediately clenched his fists and said: "The last general, please be the vanguard." ”

Chao Yong smiled: "Since Dong Yibump can't wait." Then I'll arrange it. Dong Pingbu is the vanguard, Lu Junyi, Zhang Kai, and Han Cunbao are the Chinese army, and Guan Shenghe is the queen. The whole army approached Xiongzhou City, and Xiongzhou was to be taken before dark. ”

When Dong Ping heard this, he couldn't help but say: "If the Liao soldiers come to help, the whole army will march quickly, I am afraid that the soldiers will not have enough physical strength to resist the Liao soldiers." ”

Chao Yong said with a smile: "The Liao soldiers have never entered the country, presumably because the emperor of the Liao State did not give an order, they should not come to the rescue." If you go farther away, there should be our spies in Xiongzhou, right? ”

Lu Junyi nodded and said: "The people of Xiongzhou were held hostage and voted for the feud of the Liao State, and the people were extremely angry, and the people on the border were harassed by the Liao soldiers every year, and it can be said that most of their relatives died in the hands of the Liao soldiers. Therefore, many of the people wanted to flee south, but the dog official was afraid that the people would flee and blocked the city gates. However, the dog officer was also afraid that we would suddenly attack northward, so he sent many soldiers to spy on the movements of our army, so the soldiers fled a lot. I recruited a group of defectors and sent them back to Xiongzhou, and if the Liao soldiers went south, they would find a way to inform us. After Yelu Dashi stopped selling horses to us, Duan Jingzhu also brought dozens of brothers born in the north into the Liao Kingdom to inquire about the news, and the Liao soldiers should send us a message. ”

The army did not move, and the sentinels went first. Although in many cases the victory or defeat of the two armies is determined by the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, there are also many times when the decisions are made by the clever plans of good generals, and the necessary prerequisite for the successful implementation of the clever plans is to be able to find out the situation between the enemy and the enemy. Otherwise, no matter how wonderful the design is, if an unexpected situation occurs on the battlefield, it may fail.

Chao Yong saw that although Lu Junyi was not from a general's background and had never led troops before, the sentry made such a careful arrangement, so he nodded secretly.

"Where's the grain and grass?"

"There is no shortage of grain and grass, and after the Song Dynasty planned to destroy Liao in Lianjin, it hoarded a large amount of grain and grass in Hejian Mansion in preparation for the army to attack Liao. After I led my troops to Mozhou, I had 50,000 stone of grain shipped, which was enough to support the army for more than a month. ”

Chao Yong smiled: "The Song Dynasty also left us a lot of wealth. Okay, let's go back and get ready. ”

On the fifth watch of the next day, the army buried the pot to cook, ate a full meal, and the whole army gathered.

Chao Yong stood above the camp in golden armor, and the rising sun that had just jumped out in the east sprinkled red light on the golden armor, as if adding a soft circle of light to Chao Yong. Coupled with Chao Yong's invincible past, in the eyes of the soldiers, Chao Yong was like a god at this time.

"The Liao State has bullied me in the Central Plains for two hundred years, and now it wants to take advantage of my unstable foothold in the Liang to plunder in the south. My Great Liang will never offer the same salute and sue for peace as the Song Dynasty, because my Great Liang has an invincible army, and they will never bow their knees to the enemy. I have not tasted a single defeat since I led the army, and soon my defeated generals will add another Liao state. In this battle, I hope that all the armies will move forward, and those who retreat without orders will be killed, and those who retreat without permission will be killed, and the commanders will retreat, and the commanders will be killed, and I will kill them with my own hands. Dispatch troops. (To be continued......)
