Chapter 283: Undercurrent (9)

A battalion composed of new soldiers as the main force of the cavalry battalion can not break up and maintain a certain combat effectiveness even after bearing huge casualties and attrition. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoIn He Tengxiao's view, this is also a miraculous existence.

Shan Futian is not a lonely person. After taking over the mess in Jinling City, Shan Futian officially began to deal with the war, and the military affairs were closely related to Shan Futian. Regarding the war in Liaodong, Shan Futian is still very concerned.

Shan Futian of the cavalry battalion has also heard a lot, and Shan Futian thinks that these soldiers can withstand the strong attack of tens of thousands of Liao troops, and they must be among the best soldiers. Tempered by the flames of war.

But I heard He Tengxiao say that about eighty percent of the soldiers in the Xiao Cavalry Battalion will be new soldiers. When the soldiers did not have a lot of experience in participating in the war, Shan Futian was very surprised, and even a little hard to believe.

Shan Futian prides himself on being proficient in military affairs, and military training has always been something he is proud of. Shan Futian rectified the Jinling City Water Division in less than a year, and the results were achieved. The chaos in the southeastern sea frontier of the empire was also gradually stabilized by the Jinling Navy Division rectified by Shan Futian.

At least in the vicinity of Jinling City, there is no one who dares to appear in the waters near Jinling City.

Shan Futian has such merits and abilities, and Shan Futian hears a lot of beautiful words on weekdays. There are a lot of these beautiful words, and Shan Futian even feels that the whole person is fluttering.

Shan Futian once thought that in terms of military affairs in the entire empire, except for Peng Chaodong, an old monster who had been crawling on the frontier for decades, there was no one who could compare with him.

The Xiao Cavalry Battalion, a battalion composed mainly of new soldiers, was able to burst out with such a strong combat effectiveness, which made Shan Futian look at the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and his main general, He Tengxiao.

Although Shan Futian knew that his army was not much comparable to the cavalry battalion. The Xiao cavalry battalion is a foot soldier in the north, and his Jinling City water division is a water pawn. The different arms are not very comparable, in terms of water warfare, Shan Futian is confident that he can surpass He Tengxiao, and in terms of foot combat, Shan Futian guesses that He Tengxiao's Xiao cavalry battalion will be stronger. After all, there are pros and cons between the two for geographical reasons.

It was less than a day's journey from Jingshi City, and the sentinels of the two sides had already met. Shan Futian and He Tengxiao both understood that if they continued to move forward, they were very likely to meet the main force of the Liao army.

It happened that it was getting late, and He Tengxiao and Shan Futian decided to camp in the suburbs for a night now. After days of marching, the soldiers were already exhausted and needed to rest. Waiting until dawn tomorrow to break through the encirclement of the Liao army and enter Jingshi City may be more appropriate than now.

Futian's attitude towards He Tengxiao alone is not bad, and Shan Zhihang's attitude towards He Tengxiao is not as friendly as his father.

In this dynasty, military force was valued over civility, but civil officials who were scholars and doctors would wisely put away their contemptuous attitude towards martial artists when they led their troops into battle. Gain the trust of the warriors, and build a powerful army that they can control.

Peng Chaodong is a typical example, and Shan Futian also intends to follow Chaodong's example and build a strong army. After leading the troops, Shan Futian's attitude towards the warriors has changed a lot.

It was based on this change of attitude that Shan Futian won the favor of the soldiers of the water camp in Jinling City. The sailors of the water camp in Jinling City are willing to work for Shan Futian, and Shan Futian's refusal to practice martial artists is also an important reason.

Xia Zhenxian, the governor of Nanzhili, not only did not succeed in rectifying the water camp in Jinling City, but also made the water camp in Jinling City more and more chaotic, and finally made him disgraced, and Shan Futian's rectification of the water camp in Jinling City had an immediate effect, and the two made a judgment.

Shan Zhihang is still a stunned young man who is not deeply involved in the world, and he does not have the same mind as his father Shan Futian, and sometimes his performance even looks very naïve. Shan Zhihang, who is still an orthodox literati in his bones, has a contemptuous attitude towards He Tengxiao.

"There doesn't seem to be any fighting around Kyoshi City." After nightfall, the men and horses of Shan Futian's Qinwang Army and He Tengxiao's Tengbao Battalion and Xiao Cavalry Battalion were stationed, and He Tengxiao and Shan Futian walked on the snowy field. Shan Futian said as he strolled.

The bright moon reflected the figures of the two people. He Tengxiao saw that Peng Chaodong spoke freely, without stage fright, and behaved very naturally, in front of Shan Futian, He Tengxiao's performance was even more natural. Although Peng Chaodong and Shan Futian are both scholars of the military department, they are both feudal officials of the empire, and ordinary people have seen people who are sincerely afraid. But in front of He Tengxiao, these two people seemed to be ordinary people.

How to face ordinary people, how He Tengxiao also faces Shan Futian. He Tengxiao's performance of neither humility nor arrogance was impressive. For so many years, it is the first time I have seen Shan Futian, a martial artist with the temperament of He Tengxiao. He Tengxiao talks and behaves decently, Shan Futian is very suspicious of He Tengxiao's identity as a martial artist, in terms of conversation and behavior, in Shan Futian's opinion, many literati are inferior to He Tengxiao. Could it be that the family style of the four great families in Liaodong is so good that they can cultivate generals of such quality?

Shan Futian thought.

Both Shan Futian and He Tengxiao were surprised that there were no signs of fighting breaking out around Jingshi City. There were several small-scale Qinwang armies gathered around them, and the reason why these Qinwang armies came over was very simple, there were many Qinwang soldiers in Shan Futian, and they had a greater sense of security.

Through these Qin Wang Jun, He Tengxiao and Shan Futian learned about the dynamics of these Tianjing Divisional Cities. Especially Qin Jun's strange performance, which also made the two scratch their heads.

"No war is abnormal." Every time He Tengxiao took a step, he left a deep footprint on the snow, "The Liao army tried its best to break through the border and enter the customs, my previous guess was that the real intention of the Liao army was not to conquer the city, the western Liaoning corridor has not fallen into the hands of the Manshu people, and the passage from the Liao State to the Central Plains has not been opened, in this case, it does not make much sense to conquer the city in the Central Plains, and the Manshu people will not be so stupid." I suspect that the purpose of the Liao army to break through the border and enter the customs is to penetrate into the Central Plains, weaken the military strength and military potential of the Central Plains of Dazhao through battles, and pave the way for the next expansion of the Liao army in advance. ”

"But after the Liao army broke through the border and entered the pass, as far as I know, except for a few siege battles, the Liao army showed no signs of fighting with my Great Zhao army, so you began to suspect that your initial judgment of the Liao army was wrong? I don't know the real intention of the Liao army to enter the customs this time? Shan Futian said.

He Tengxiao nodded, he couldn't figure out what the Liao army's intentions were this time.

"I got the news from other Qinwang troops that the Liao army wants to negotiate peace with us." Shan Futian said that the news that the Liao army was going to negotiate peace spread through some channel, and even Qin Wangjun got the news.

"Peace?" He Tengxiao sneered, "Is there such a peace law?" There is no need for the Liao army to negotiate peace, and it is us who have the need to negotiate peace, and this news is likely to be a bait thrown by the Liao army. (To be continued.) )
