When Zhao Gu and the four of them heard this, their expressions were relieved, and they fell to the ground almost at the same time, fainting directly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After several days of continuous fighting, the four of them were already exhausted, and at this time, they suddenly heard that a generation of tiger generals Hu Yanzan was coming, and their hearts were relieved, and they immediately fell into a coma.

――――――――――

On the second day of the second month of February, also known as the dragon raised his head, in Shuozhou City, Huyanzan walked around a courtyard with an anxious face, constantly rubbing his hands until the courtyard door was opened.

Hu Yanzan quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's hand: "Doctor, how is it?" ”

The doctor replied: "Marquis Zhao, they have been fighting continuously, and it is normal for them to be difficult to wake up after falling into a coma, but now they have slept for two days, rested enough, and drank the medicine I prescribed, and they can wake up at noon." ”

"Yes, thank you."

In the afternoon, Zhao Gu Youyou opened his eyes, and at first glance, he saw a big man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, and after his eyes were dilated for a while, he said weakly: "There is the old general Lao Huyan who rescued him, and the younger generation is grateful." ”

This big man with a tiger's back is naturally Hu Yanzan, he laughed: "Zhuozhou Guhou is too angry, this time the old man was ordered to come to help, I didn't want to meet the Liao army reinforcements halfway, and fought with them, so it was late, but it caused you to fall into a desperate situation, it is said that the old man should apologize to you." ”

"The old general said with a smile, the situation on the battlefield is ever-changing, and if you can appear at the last moment, you must be in a hurry."

Hu Yanzan nodded, which was considered a tacit acquiescence, Zhao Gu smiled and asked, "What happened to the other three?" ”

Hu Yan praised: "Their injuries are not serious, just cultivate for a while." ”

Zhao Gu was relieved, and then drank medicine under the service of the maid, and the maid helped him wash his body and change his clothes.

Then Zhao Gu ate two more bowls of gruel, felt a lot better in physical strength, and then went to see the two dogs and the three of them.

The four of them were desperate, and when they met again, they were naturally full of emotion, and they said a lot of words before they went back to the house to rest.

At dinner, Hu Yanzan invited Zhao Gu to eat together, Zhao Gu happily went, and the two chatted while eating, which made Zhao Gu know a lot of news.

According to Hu Yanzan, in addition to Yi Dechao, the other three roads each completely received two states, and Yi Dechao won three states in a row, but he only left a small number of people to defend the city along the way, so there were many troubles and had to stop for renovation.

After the Liao army learned the news of the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty, they quickly organized an army of 150,000 and marched towards the sixteen states of Yanyun, one of which was Yeluhai's 50,000 army, and the other two were respectively towards Huanzhou and Yunzhou.

These two states have a total of more than 30,000 troops to defend Dechao, of which 20,000 people are in Yunzhou, and 10,000 are behind Huanzhou, and the situation is not clear for the time being.

According to Hu Yanzan's speculation, because the news he knew had come eight days ago, as of today, perhaps the three armies of Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Yang Yanzhao had each captured three states.

Coupled with the three states on the side of Yi Dechao, twelve of the sixteen states of Yanyun have been taken.

In Zhao Gu's original plan, the sixteen states of Yanyun were divided into three parts, the first part was a border like Shuozhou, which was a state that must be defended, including Huanzhou, Yunzhou, Wuzhou, Danzhou, Jizhou, and Confucianism.

There are also some states that must be obtained, including Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Yanzhou, and Shunzhou, all of which are on the grain transportation line of the army.

The other part is the state that can be obtained later, that is, the places that can be left alone for the time being and recovered by waiting for the army to return, including Xinzhou, Yanzhou, Yingzhou, and Ulzhou.

In other words, now the Great Song Dynasty has only four states left in Xinzhou, Fuzhou, Yingzhou, and Ulzhou that have not been recovered.

Of course, the premise is that the other twelve states can survive the next counterattack of the Liao State.

And the biggest challenge facing the Great Song Dynasty at the moment is that the 100,000 Liao army is attacking Huanzhou and Yunzhou with all their might, can he hold it?

If when the Liao army attacked these two states, he led the army to fight other places like before, could the defenders of these two places be able to defend like Zhao Gu?

I have to say that the most difficult thing in this era is communication, especially when there is a war, information cannot be circulated, and the court cannot receive accurate information from the court, which makes it difficult to judge the next action.

After eating, Hu Yanzan said: "The old man was ordered to reinforce your army on the western road, and now that Shuozhou City has been relieved, I will leave you 5,000 soldiers to defend Shuozhou City, and the other 15,000 people will be reinforced by me, what do you think of this arrangement?" ”

Zhao Gu was puzzled: "Although I am a member of the Western Route Army, I have no subordinate relationship with the old general's reinforcement army, I can't give advice on this kind of thing, right?" ”

Hu Yanzan: "Indeed, the military system of the Great Song Dynasty is like this, you and I are not commanders of each other, and it is really not good to talk nonsense, but the emperor said when I was leaving, if I meet you in the future, let me listen to your suggestions more." ”

Zhao Gu was stunned, it turned out that Zhao Guangyi had said hello in advance, could it be that an old general like Hu Yanzan dared to be so bold.

After thinking about it, Zhao Gu said: "According to my understanding of Yi Dechao, there is a chance that he will continue to fight forward after he captures Yunzhou, and his route is either to Yingzhou or to Xinzhou, no matter which side he goes, Yunzhou and Huanzhou are probably surrounded by the Liao army, and even have fallen, old general, you will pass at this time, it will take a day or two to travel, I am afraid that it will be too late by then." ”

Hu Yanzan was taken aback, scolded Mi Dechao in his heart, and asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

Zhao Gu said: "Yingzhou is in the hinterland of the sixteen states, and Shuozhou is separated by a Huanzhou, if he goes there, it is estimated that there is no hope of survival, and the side of Yingzhou should have been captured by the grandfather of Cao Binguo, the army of the middle road, if Yi Dechao went to Yingzhou, there is no danger, as soon as their two armies converge, the Liao army will not be able to move." ”

"What about Huanzhou and Yunzhou......?" Hu Yanzan wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhao Gu smiled bitterly: "The younger generation thinks that these two states must have fallen, if the old general doesn't believe it, he can go over and take a look, but the old general has to be careful of the ambush set by the Liao army." ”

Hu Yanzan smiled bitterly, he finally realized Zhao Gu's mentality in the face of Ji Dechao's overtime, and he really wanted to trample Mi Dechao to death with one kick, and then throw him into the dung pit.

Originally, a good plan, everyone performs their duties, you attack yours, I fight mine, and wait until the sixteen states of Yanyun are gradually eaten, and then everyone will defeat the reinforcements of the Liao army together, and the sixteen states of Yanyun will be recovered.

But Mi Dechao's goods are good, as if he is so capable, he messes around there, completely reckless, disrupts the whole plan, not to mention, and everyone who is still harmed has to work harder.
