Chapter 243: The Snow March
In the midst of the wind and snow, a team braved the wind and snow to the north. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info between this vast world, they are the only team that goes north.
In this vast wilderness, they seem so abrupt, so different.
This team is He Tengxiao's Qinwang army who went north to King Qin, Jingshi City: part of the men and horses of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Tengbao Battalion.
"Fucking thief, this ghost, I thought that when I got to the south, the situation would be much better than that bitter cold place in Liaodong where birds don't shit. I can't imagine that this place is also a place where birds don't come out to find food. Zhou Shi complained.
In the early years, I heard the elders say that the Central Plains is a good place, even in the cold winter, it is warm, unlike Liaodong, where the thieves are cold and the thieves are cold. Zhou Shi had a feeling of being deeply deceived, and the elders said that the Central Plains was better here than Liaodong, and better there than Liaodong, boasting that the Central Plains region was a heaven-like existence.
And after Zhou Shi personally came to Beizhili, that is, in the Central Plains, the elders boasted of being a paradise-like place, and found that there was still a big gap between this place and the language description of the elders. Zhou Shi seriously doubted that his elders had ever been to this place.
"Less fucking bullshit." He Tengxiao scolded, "Pay attention to Lao Tzu, now we have entered the control area of the Liao army, and there are dangers everywhere, and it is King Qin's business to bring you out, not to chew the root of your tongue!" ”
"Birds! Be a bird king! Zhou Shi was dissatisfied, being pulled out to march in such bad weather would have a temper and opinions, Zhou Shi also held back a stomach of resentment in his heart, and it was a crime to march in this weather, "We have a good life in Liao, and we went to Beizhili to find the guilt and suffer, how can Jingshi City have a relationship with us." ”
"Just your mother's words! Bird Bird Bird! Bird, your mother, is not willing to give Lao Tzu back to Liaodong. He Tengxiao has long been accustomed to Zhou Shi's stinky temper, and he has always been tough on Zhou Shi, and he is also hard and ruthless when he speaks.
He Tengxiao's words worked, and after He Tengxiao said cruel words, Zhou Shi closed his mouth in amusement and stopped making noise.
"It seems that the purpose of the Liao army is very clear." Zhang Yuyang said.
He Tengxiao's northward march was along the section of the canal from Jinmenwei to Tongzhou. This section of the canal is simply a natural reference. This section of the canal is a canal that has been artificially excavated and dredged on the basis of a natural river.
The main function of this section of the canal is to communicate the connection between Jinmen and Jingshi City. To talk more deeply, it is to communicate between Jingshi City and Bohai.
When Haicao was prosperous, it was also the busiest time for this canal, and there was a congestion of the canal for a time. However, the imperial court was still considering whether to open another canal or widen it to increase the canal's transportation capacity. Later, due to the redevelopment of Caoyun (Hecao) and the abolition of the sea Cao, this plan was shelved.
This canal only connects to Tongzhou City (Beitongzhou, opposite to Nantong Prefecture in Jinling), and then directly transfers from Beitongzhou to Jingshi City.
Although this canal does not go directly to Jingshi City, it can go to Beitongzhou, and it is only a stone's throw away from Jingshi City, as long as you are not blind, you can go to Jingshi City.
"It seems that the goal of the Liao army's march this time is very clear, it is determined to attack Jingshi City." This is Zhang Yuyang's idea, along the way did not see the rest of the Liao army divided into four parts, there are only two possibilities, one is that the Liao army's sentry was almost wiped out by He Tengxiao in Jinmenwei, only one person escaped by luck, the Liao army was instigated, and did not dare to go in the direction of Jinmenwei, and there is also a possibility that the Liao army has a very clear goal is to surround Jingshi City and take Jingshi City, and the rest are secondary to the Liao army, and the Liao army has no time to take care of it.
Of course, the probability of the former is very, very small, so small that it is almost zero, and no one will believe it. With the temper of the Liao army, the cow is very good, even if the Xiao cavalry battalion, He Tengxiao let the Liao army suffer losses, which will only increase the Liao army's desire for revenge rather than increase the Liao army's fear of the Xiao cavalry camp.
Many Liao soldiers don't even know what fear is.
As for the latter, in Zhang Yuyang's opinion, it is more convincing, and it can also explain why there is no trace of the Liao army along the way.
"I don't think so." He Tengxiao disagreed with Zhang Yuyang's opinion, "The western Liaoning corridor has not yet been opened, the Qin army is still alive, even if the Liao army has conquered the Jingshi City, it is not of much use, and this time is not the best time for the Liao army to attack the Jingshi City." Even if the Liao army conquered Jingshi City, there was no way to defend it, and the enclave of Jingshi City did not have much significance for the Liao army, unless the high-level leaders of the Liao State were bombarded, they would hold on to Jingshi City. ”
He Tengxiao did not believe that when the Liao army entered the customs this time, it was in order to attack the capital of Da Zhao, Jingshi City. All kinds of facts show that the time is not yet ripe for the Liao army to attack Jingshi City, and even if the Liao army really captures Jingshi City, it will be just a burden for the Liao army. The gains outweigh the losses, and the rational top brass of the Liao army would not make such a hasty decision.
"If it's not Jingshi City, does the Liao army have a bigger plan? What else can stimulate the Liao army more than taking the capital of Great Zhao? Zhang Yuyang said.
The goose-feather-like snow fell one after another, and He Tengxiao dusted the snow off his body: "Yes!" Destroying the army of King Qin, plundering the northern Zhili, and weakening the military potential of Great Zhao in the northern region were all more meaningful and cost-effective than attacking Jingshi City. ”
It is very dangerous to walk on a snowy day on a thick snow, and if you are not careful, your horse may step on the snow and fall into the snow, causing a tragedy in which both people and horses are injured.
Zhang Yuyang was very careful on the horse, looking at the horse's hoof marks of different shades on the ground, and walked behind He Tengxiao. These trampled places prove that the underneath is real, and the rest of the place is safer.
Eliminate the Qinwang army, the appetite of the Liao army is really big, this time the Liao army entered the customs on an unprecedented scale, claiming that the army is 400,000. Zhang Yuyang knew that this was a trick, and the 400,000 yuan was purely taken out to bluff people. The Liao army of 400,000 is always there if there are no two or three hundred thousand, although the two or three hundred thousand Liao army is a huge military force, but this time the Liao army is too big, Da Zhao is panicked, Song Yuren's Qinwang edict is out, and it is not a problem to mobilize hundreds of thousands of Qinwang troops.
Two or three hundred thousand want to eat hundreds of thousands of troops, which seems to be a fantasy.
Although his own ideas are a bit unrealistic, He Tengxiao's first idea is also very unrealistic, and it is not much different from him.
Of course, Zhang Yuyang, He Tengxiao's second statement, is willing to believe it. If the Liao army simply entered the pass and plundered, it was still very feasible, and the losses suffered were small.
Unlike Da Zhao, Da Zhao's main army is infantry, while the main arm of the Liao army is cavalry, and the Liao army is also known for its cavalry. The terrain of the North Zhili area is flat, which is also suitable for the Liao army to gallop. Cavalry is also one of the most mobile troops in this era. Beizhili is such a feng shui treasure land, almost a robbery holy place tailored for the Liao army, if the Liao army is just a simple robbery, in Beizhili come and go like the wind, and finally leisurely out of the customs to return to their old nest Liaodong, Zhao Jun really has nothing to do with the Liao army.
