Chapter 664: Defensive Loopholes

Before leaving, Yang Ling did not say that the morale of the army can be boosted but not vented, and the backbone of the Tiger Ben army is from Yandi, if this is the worst plan, ready to erode all the way to the Yellow River to prepare to say it, I am afraid that the army's heart will be in an uproar. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info but now that the farewell is imminent, Yang Ling finally couldn't help but come and said a few more words.

For the large-scale invasion of the Jurchen East Route Army, we must prepare for the worst, in such a situation, we must also drag them to the death, and maintain the heart of the Tiger Ben Army, so it is really a heavy responsibility, Wu Ling and Wu Ling glanced at each other, Yang Ling looked at Wu Lan, Wu Lan saluted solemnly: "The last general should obey the orders of the eldest brother, never Meng Lang acts, if Yandi fails, he will fight in Hebei, and if Hebei is unfavorable, he will defend the Yellow River, unless the last general dies in battle, he will never let the Jurchen Tartars cross the Yellow River in the south!" ”

Wu Jue also saluted and said: "King, although the younger brother of the last general is a little Meng Lang, but he will never mess up militarily, and the last general will not dare to say anything about the Jurchen Tartars, and the others dare not say it, and they always sacrifice their lives to guard the east for the King of Jin." If it doesn't work, there is no need for King Jin to judge the crime, I would have died in front of the battle anyway. ”

Yang Ling silently patted the two of them on the shoulder, after the Tiger Ben Army went, he would lead the Japanese army to support the imperial drive to conquer Hedong, and this would be a series of battles. Under heavy pressure, these things could be done without a letter or an order from the Xifu, but Yang Ling still had to come over and tell him in his busy schedule!

At this moment, seeing that the two of them did not boast that they would be able to hold Hebei, but had a cautious attitude of preparing to fight to the death, Yang Ling relieved his heart a little, nodded and wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say, and finally just stared at them silently, and bowed slightly: "Try to come back alive to see me." After saying this, Yang Ling turned around and walked out.

Hundreds of Jin kings have been waiting outside, and when they saw Yang Ling coming out, they greeted him on the mount, thousands of athletes. Seeing the figure of King Jin spinning in and out, he let out a loud cheer and shout, and he was high-spirited and rushed straight to Xiaohan.

Yang Ling reined in the horse and slowly reviewed the surging Yellow River. There are also these elites on the banks of the Yellow River who have painstakingly gathered in the past few years, and they will soon lead the army to the east of the river, so many good men who have followed their command for several years, when they meet again, how many will be left, I hope that at that time, although the heroes are gone, the rivers and mountains are still the same!

……

In the valley of the Fen River, a team of people and horses are walking to the south without hurrying, at this time in the north, the spring is in full bloom, although the mountains and forests in the east of the river are black and the forests are sparse, but the wild grass in the valley is luxuriant, the wild flowers are dotted, and the water flow of the Fen River splashes the broken Qiong chaotic jade, there is still a unique scene. On both sides of the valley, there are villages everywhere, and it is the peak time of field work, and everywhere you can see the figures of peasants, tending to the crops.

However, in the past, the women of the village in the fields delivered food, and the lively scene of the children frolicking, but they were no longer seen, these laboring farmers, looking north from time to time in the fields, seemed to be worried about something, outside the Shiling Pass, there was a large group of Jurchen military horses, and they were knocking on the pass!

The land of Hedong, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the beginning of the Song Dynasty, is the battlefield, how many strong feudal clans fought here, several generations of kings in the five dynasties, all rose here, and after the Song Dynasty, it was entangled with the Later Han Dynasty for more than ten years, and the Hedong almost became a white land, and the battle with the Liao people lasted longer.

After the abyss, the border smoke gradually went out, and the dense military fortress passes that were originally set up on the edge of the east edge of the river were also more wasteful, but this time countless Hulu pressed in, and a large number of people outside the original pass rushed like clouds and rain, but let these memories of the war return to the hearts of the people in Hedong!

This group of people and horses passed by, very frightened the people who were working in the fields, and later saw that this army and horses were under the banner of the Shence Army, so they put their minds at ease, the east of the river, the martial style is fierce, although it is not as good as those who have been in turmoil in the clouds of Yandi, but it is much stronger than the hinterland of the Central Plains.

This force with the trumpet of the Shence Army, covering a large number of internal refugees from the north, is guarding the pass, rectifying the defense, and not disturbing the people, with excellent armor, sharp blades, strict constraints, and full of evil spirits, at first glance, it looks like a strong army, and there is such a military horse in charge. This made them not flee with their families, but still insisted on working in the fields, no more than the rich families went south one after another, and placed their hopes on the safer Taiyuan Mansion to settle nearby.

Ordinary people, if they don't work, they can't eat, abandon their homes and businesses, and they can only die in the ravines, they work hard, pay tribute, multiply, and only seek the people on the top, who can give them the most basic security guarantee when the foreign enemy invades, and at the turn of the two Song Dynasty, the people on the top have fallen to the point that they can't even do this, and it is these people who have risen up to fight with Hulu, dyed the Han family a bloody red, but in the end, Zong Ze crossed the river three times and died, and the Heshuo Hedong Righteous Army was dismissed by the superiors!

This group of people, holding an old man who has never been dressed in armor and is wrapped in an old cloak, is the newly baked Bao Dajun Festival Stay, Hedong Economic Envoy, and Han Shizhong, who also leads the Shence Army.

This way is to inspect the defense line of the Shence Army laid along the valley of the Fen River, as well as the repair of many military villages, and also to inspect the resettlement and migration of refugees in Yunnei.

The Shence Army is the starting horse of Yang Ling, the king of Jin, and is known as the first in the four armies of the new Shang, and now the spirit is the highest, how can other military horses be compared, that is, Han Shizhong also feels that the festival is not very tasteful after staying, and he wants to have a festival to make a trick, and the supervision is strict, and he keeps running back and forth.

From north to south, the three defense systems with Shiling Pass, Slender Waist Village, and Cave Valley Village as the core blocked the passage of the Fenhe River Valley, Han Shizhong was confident that if the Jurchen Tartars gnawed all the way over, and when they reached Taiyuan, it was estimated that they would have to go next year, and I don't know how many people will be left in the end.

King Jin led the army, walking and fighting also cleaned up all the Jurchen West Route Army, although the defense system was quite satisfied, the Jurchen West Route Army spread the front, just patrolled and tested before the defense system on the eastern edge of the river, and was not allowed to knock on the pass for a while, but at this moment, Han Shizhong's face was only a mixed expression, and when he spoke, he was also preoccupied, not as loud as before, as if he didn't take anything in the world to heart.

I like it in my heart, one is that the retreat battle from Yunnei to Hedong went smoothly, blocking the Jurchen Tartar West Road army from the edge of the east of the river, and the other is that his own name is soaring, and the King of Jin will hand over the old foundation of the Shence Army to his own family, which shows that the letter is heavy, as long as the King of Jin does not fall in the future, their fresh military merits are expensive, and it is not difficult to become a family, and the worry in my heart is that this war will affect half of North China, which is a huge pass, and I don't know if the King of Jin can take this step!

The Jurchen East Route Army has its own arrangements, it is not his own war zone, Han Shizhong does not worry about that, just talking about the war here in Hedong, the Ninghua Army guarded by his own family, and the line of the Hutuo River Valley guarded by Lu Junyi, the high-favored Flying Fox Pass is also very important, connecting the important passes of Hedong in Hebei, there are currently 5,000 people who dare to fight, Han Shizhong can rest assured, but it is the direction of the closely adjacent Lan Army, Han Shizhong always has hidden worries.

When Cai Jing was in a short period of time, he also made small moves to Hedong and made personnel arrangements, and the descendants of the Zhe family, who originally served in the center and whose official position was to be made in Huiyou Pavilion, moved to Longtu Pavilion as a direct bachelor, and Hedong Road appeased the deputy envoy and went out of the town and prefecture. It is to unify the soldiers and horses of the Fold family in Fengfu and other places, and to threaten most of the Hedong controlled by Yang Ling.

At that time, Yang Ling was about to lead the snake out of the hole, so he pretended not to see this matter, and Zhe Yanzhi went out of the town smoothly, and now in Hedong, there is Wang Huang, the pacification envoy, who is responsible for transporting grain and grass, pacifying the rear, and helping Han Shizhong's army.

There is Han Shizhong, the envoy of Hedong Economic Strategy, who mainly controls the military of Hedong Road and deals with the Jurchen West Route Army, and there is also a Hedong Road pacification deputy envoy Zhe Yanzhi, who integrates the Zhejia Army and the Western Army, relying on Shaanxi behind it, and has its own system, the so-called Zhejia Army is inherited from the five generations and one lineage, and it can really be regarded as the military horse in the Fengfu area of the Great Song Dynasty.

Born in a foreign race, but it has been completely sinicized, in the early days of the Great Song Dynasty to use them against the Northern Han Dynasty, against the Liao State, and later to use them to the north against the Liao Xijing Road, the west to resist the Western Xia Left Wing Shen Yong Military Division, from time to time to cross the Yellow River west, to cooperate with the Western Army in Hengshan's campaign.

It is precisely because of this unique and important position that the Zhe family has dominated this corner of Hedong for generations, raising military horses, self-subordinate, and folding the family for several generations, and the children who died in the Great Song Dynasty do not know how many, and Cai Jing will Zhe Yan go out, that is, this Zhejia military horse will be used, once something happens, it can be used to contain Yang Ling's Hedong Shence army.

But this arrangement has not been made for a long time, but I am afraid that before Zhe Yanzhi has gone to Fuzhou, Cai Jing has already fallen after a palace change, and this move has not been of any use to Cai Jing. But for Zhe Yanzhi, it's another matter, he was born in the Zhe family, a proper descendant of the Jiangmen, and in the Chongning period, he was also a scholar and a civil and military, and was regarded as an outstanding talent of the generation of the Zhe family, and at the age of thirty, he joined the military with the court to invite Lang as the direct secretary of the pavilion, and was promoted by Zhao Ji all the way, and more than forty people have the qualifications to enter the East Mansion.

Zhao Ji's favor is deep, and he is conceited and arrogant, how can he be convinced by a powerful traitor like Yang Ling? Once he returns to the fundamental place of the Zhejia, it will be like a dragon returning to the sea, whether it is Wang Hao or Han Shizhong, or even Yang Ling of Bianliang, the small species of Weizhou, no one will think that he can command him.

If it's just that the command doesn't move, it's okay, Han Shizhong also expects the Zhe family to be able to guard the east and west sides of the river, anyway, in the end, the bitter battle is still the King of Jin with us to fight, and in the Zhejia army, although the most capable Zhi Keshi is already dying, the group of elite soldiers and strong generals he led are also more disarmed.

And Zheyan has been a Wenchen for too long, and now he is militarily dependent on the Fuzhou Zhizhou Zhizhou, although the folding can be too far worse than the folding can be adapted, and it is very easy. But the combat effectiveness of the Zhejia army is somewhat still a little, and if it can fight in a down-to-earth manner, it should hold out for a while without any problem.

However, when Han Shizhong moved to the Hedong Economic Envoy, he once sent someone to send an extremely polite letter to Zhe Yan Qian, telling him about the current situation and asking Zhi Yan to rectify the defense of the north, but the messenger was driven out without even entering the Zhi Yan Zhi Office, but I heard that Zhi Yan still issued an order to rectify the defense, as for how effective, it is difficult to say.

The junction of the forces of the Zhe family, and Han Shizhong's unified soldiers and horses, is the Lan Army, which was originally taken from the Northern Han Dynasty by the ancestor of the Zhe family, the ancestor of the Zhi family, and presided over the establishment of the Lan Army, the establishment of the military fortress, and the construction of the Great Wall from the Tiandong Fort to the north.

Han Shizhong never wanted to cause this trouble, but if the Jurchen Tartars failed in front of Shiling Pass and Yanmen Pass, they turned west from the Lanjun to break through, there is an east-west Lanshui in the Lan Army, although the valley is not as wide as the two avenues in the Fenhe River Valley and the Hutuo River Valley, but it is enough to pass the army, along the Lanshui River Valley, all the way to the east, as long as the Honggu Village guarded by the Zhejia military horses is broken, you can enter and exit between Lanzhou and Xianzhou, cutting off the road for the Shence Army to retreat to Taiyuan!

Han Shizhong's face was rude, but his thoughts were extremely thorough, after hastily arranging the frontal defense line, he rushed back to inspect the weakness of the western flank, and came on the way, all of which were considered this problem, in his opinion, only to block this opening, but the Shence army has so many military horses, and there are few everywhere, only expect the king of Jin to lead the army to the east of the river as soon as possible, and send a military horse to block this opening, even if the Zhejia army is hostile to their own side, but the Lan army belongs to their territory, and they must be able to defend it for a while? If you leave a place to reserve military horses for emergencies, you should be able to survive just in case.

When the Jin king's army arrived, at least in the east of the river, it could be defended according to the danger, and the Jurchen West Route Army was based on a broken Yunnei Prefecture, with insufficient grain and straw, and there was nothing to plunder, and after the division veterans were tired, they could attack from the two roads of Shiling Pass and Yanmen Pass, seek a decisive battle with Zong Han's department, and win a victory steadily!

Along the way, thinking about it all the way, in the end, Han Shizhong finally had a clue, and then he was in good spirits, holding a horsewhip and pointing ahead: "Straight lady thief, I will go to the cave valley village in front, this road is very hard, I will allow you to drink tonight!" Tomorrow will give me a good spirit, take a good look around, and wait for the return from the cave valley village, starting from my old Han, one is counted as one, clamping the bird's beak, and not a drop of wine is allowed! When the time comes, I will also learn Yue Pengju, and the boss will beat mercilessly! ”

Han Shizhong's two generals around him, Niu Gao on the left and Huang Wenjin on the right, both of them have the same black tower-like appearance, both of them are cavalry generals with blunt blades, although Niu Gao is already the official position of the defense envoy of Huazhou, and Qu Gai is still a small envoy, but the relationship between the two is quite good, and the good wine is even more average.
