Chapter 141: Two Birdmen

Early the next morning, the main and deputy envoys of the emigrants entered the account to see the emperor in their official clothes, and Zhao Da encouraged the two of them, saying that the military situation was urgent, and ordered the two to prepare as soon as possible and move the people. The two received the order, and each of them retreated, and went to collect his own men and horses.

Cheng Shixiong packed the three armies, and was already about to pull out the village and set up camp to rush to Tuanbai Valley, seeing Yang Hao rushing back in a bright body, Cheng Shixiong grinned widely, he was really happier than he was promoted himself. Cheng Shixiong's pro-soldiers also surrounded him affectionately, this one touched his official clothes, the other touched his official hat, and talked and laughed with a little envy.

Cheng Shixiong saw that everyone was talking non-stop around Yang Hao, completely losing the solemn atmosphere in the army, and his own army was standing aside in unison, forgetting that he was just smiling, and he was as unseemly as they were. He coughed and shouted: "Okay, okay, when the war is over, let Xiao Yang invite everyone to eat and drink, and then it's not too late to talk and laugh, and the troops are about to be dispatched, so give me some rules for Lao Cheng." ”

After drinking back all the pro-soldiers, Cheng Shixiong laughed and said: "By the holy order, this general will allocate a thousand elite soldiers to listen to your call, you are my old Cheng's person, you are out, and my face is also bright, so, I will send you another 500 people, enough to make up the number of three battalions." My old Cheng's people are all here now, you can choose. ”

Yang Hao listened to the gratitude in his heart, he glanced at Cheng Shixiong, and saw the joy on his face that he was really happy for himself, so he only took a long look, and said no more, the great favor did not need to be thanked. He walked towards the neat and solemn ranks, his eyes moved slowly, and he pointed: "Fan Laosi, Liu Shixuan, the department is out of the ranks." ”

These two have been dealing with him for a few days, and they have a friendship with each other, so they naturally want to be transferred. Then Yang Hao walked to the rear team again, and called out some officers who were a little familiar from time to time. He knew that Cheng Shixiong was going to fight a bad battle, so he didn't want to pick some elites, Cheng Shixiong saw it in his eyes, so he stopped him and took the initiative to help him select some people who could fight tough battles. Yang Hao hurriedly thanked him humbly: "General, the main purpose of this humble post is to transport the residents of the Northern Han Dynasty, no more than the general going to Tuanbai Valley to have a tough battle to fight, and it is better to leave the elite division to the general." ”

Cheng Shixiong said: "The generals will use soldiers, and they can't miss those few people." Just according to the person selected by the general, you are recommended by the general to the official, this time you are the deputy envoy, you have to do things beautifully, don't embarrass the general, then it will be done. ”

Yang Hao couldn't resist his kindness, so he had to follow his arrangement. At this time, the establishment of the army was mostly based on the four levels of compartment, army, battalion, and capital. One has ten armies, one army has five battalions, and one battalion has five capitals, and each has 100 soldiers. Yang Hao was ordered by the emperor to lead two battalions of men, and Cheng Shixiong allocated another battalion of men to him, with 1,500 people under his jurisdiction, three battalion commanders, six deputy commanders, fifteen capital heads, and fifteen deputy capital heads, all of whom were experienced generals in battle formations.

After the arrangement was completed, Cheng Shixiong set out the camp and rushed to Tuanbai Valley, and Yang Hao rushed to join Cheng Dexuan with 1,500 soldiers. Cheng Dexuan was allocated 2,000 forbidden troops, because he was the envoy, in order to allow him to successfully complete the important task of relocating the people, Zhao Da allocated a small number of chariots and horses in the army to him, which are now used to carry food, as for more means of transportation, but the two Qincha need to prepare by themselves.

The two met, hurriedly discussed, and decided on the meeting place, and then each led people to search for the residents of the Northern Han Dynasty, and both of them took one capital as an army, scattered the men and horses, and moved all the residents of the Northern Han Dynasty who could be collected to the meeting place to stand by, in order to set off on the road.

Yang Hao gathered his three battalions of people and told them face-to-face: "You wait here, you can visit more prosperous areas such as counties and towns, there are more residents there, we have limited time, within five days, we can get as many people as there are, even if there are as many people." Although the Central Plains is richer than here, but those people who have never left their homes in their lives may not be willing to move, you should talk more about the prosperity and wealth of the Central Plains, soft and hard, intimidation is also made, but do not kill, do not commit adultery, do not plunder, violate military law. ”

Yang Hao talked a lot in detail, all the leaders understood, and immediately dispersed, these soldiers a few days ago with Cheng Shixiong swept the outer capital of the Northern Han Dynasty, they are very familiar with the surrounding geography, where is prosperous, where there are many people, they have a number in their hearts, these soldiers rushed to rush, whether it was a county seat or a village or town, but when they saw people, they went to arrest Ding, this time not only to arrest Ding, but also men, women and children are not let go.

Some big families in those county seats, villages and towns, as soon as they saw the army and horses coming, no matter what banner they were playing, they beat gongs and drums as usual, and sent cattle and sheep and silver money to reward, and these soldiers also bypassed their homes, but this time it didn't work, the more rich the family, the more young and strong laborers, and the more mules, horses and vehicles, the more the Song soldiers were the objects of relocation.

Under the intimidation of knives and guns, these rich gentry had to uneasily set up their mules and horses, wrapped them up softly, and reluctantly threw down a yard and jars on the road, and three or five soldiers armed with knives and guns escorted hundreds of people to the meeting place like a sheep. The rest of the Song army continued to the next village.

For those poor people, the Song army boasted to them about how rich the Central Plains was, how rich the people were, it was really gold everywhere, and there was work to do when they went, they ate wine and drank meat every day, and those who guarded the city gate wore silk and satin, which was richer than the county magistrates of the Northern Han Dynasty. On the other hand, he threatened them, saying that the Khitans had a new emperor, this emperor had blue eyes and red hair, and he was the reincarnation of a powerful ghost, who liked to eat people's hearts and was extremely cruel. This time, the Khitans were sent by him to rape and plunder, turn the entire Northern Han into a barren land, and bluff those uninformed villagers into a stunned place.

These rhetoric is naturally Yang Hao's plagiarism of the propaganda of a certain force in the countryside in later generations, and this kind of propaganda is very lethal to those ordinary people who are illiterate and lack knowledge, because they believe it. As a result, these villagers were frightened and followed the Song army to leave their hometown, where their ancestors had been born and raised in Si for generations. Their family is surrounded by walls, there is nothing to clean up, the family carries half a bag of grain, lifts the cauldron, and all the belongings are on them, and the concentration speed is faster than those rich households.

On this day, Zhao Guanjia received an urgent report of the military situation, and Yelu Sha, the prime minister of the Khitan Southern Yuan, and the Ji King Yelu Enemy Lie led the generals Yelu Frogge, Yelu Dry, Ling Wen Dumin, and Xiangwen to Tongtian River.

Garrisoned by Tongtianhe are the Song generals Pan Mei and Guo Jin, these two generals have a lot of experience in battle formations, and they are the leading generals of the Great Song Dynasty. Especially Pan Mei, who was portrayed in the commentary "Yang Family General" as the first traitor of the Great Song Dynasty who became a Taishi by virtue of nepotism and specifically framed the Yang family general, was actually the first general of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, destroying Jinghu, destroying Hou Shu, and even later destroying the Southern Han Dynasty, the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty.

Yelu Shaben, the prime minister of the Khitan Southern Academy, is also a battlefield general, but he is not an opponent against Pan Mei, who has been prepared for a long time. He hurried to the Tongtian River, where the scouts had already crossed the river first, and when they searched around and found no ambush, they sent a signal to the other side of the river. Yelu Sha was anxious to help, wanting to seize the king of the south and the king of the north to make a first contribution, and saw that there was no ambush on the other side, and said that the Song army was attacking the Northern Han Dynasty, and had not arranged to block the Khitan iron cavalry on this important road.

I didn't think that his army had just crossed halfway, when he heard a cannon fire in the valley, and before the aftermath had dissipated, he heard the sound of running bulls howling wildly from the upper reaches of the valley, and a huge wave higher than two horses stacked on top of each other roared with mud, sand, gravel and rampaging rows of logs, cutting the Khitan men and horses in half.

Yelu Sha and Yelu Enemy, who had already crossed the river, were dumbfounded, and the Liao general Yelu Dry, who was leading the Chinese army to cross the river, was smashed by a row of wood and men and horses, and Yelu Sha's son Yelu Frog also made a dead frog at the bottom of the river, and countless Khitan soldiers who were crossing the river were washed away and did not know where to go.

When the two generals Ling Wen Dumin and Xiang Wen Tang, who were waiting to be pushed back, arrived with their troops, they could only stand on the bank of the river, and watched the prime minister and the winged king on the other side of the river being killed by Pan Mei and Guo Jin, two killing gods, each with soldiers and horses from the left and right...... At this time, Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao, the two directors and deputy directors of the demolition and relocation office, were in full swing. Cheng Dexuan's men and horses are not as familiar with the surrounding city roads as Yang Hao's people, but firstly, there are more of them, more than Yang Hao, and secondly, their work efficiency is much faster than Yang Hao, so they have collected more people than Yang Hao.

Under Cheng Dexuan's instructions, his soldiers don't need to engage in any propaganda at all, as long as they see villages and towns, they will rob them, rob people, mules, horses and vehicles, and rob all the means of transportation.

Are you reluctant? It's easy to do, burn a fire, and see what else you have to be nostalgic about. Want to carry food on your back? Don't worry about it, the official family allocated a large amount of military rations, which were originally used to appease the people in the city after the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated and defeated, but now they are all given to you, are you afraid that you will not be able to support your pigtails?

The two edicts of Qincha and the Great Song Dynasty were robbing people like a competition, and the population on the galloping horse plain was increasing. There are rich and poor people here, large and small people, but they are not as good as the villages that Yang Hao searched two days ago, all of them are like refugees, among them, there are many rich gentry who are rich and fat, and handsome and white girls. Some soldiers can't help but circle around the big girls of other people's houses, although no one really dares to do anything, but they take advantage of a lot of cheap tongues, and there are also things that push and shove on the way to escort, and take the opportunity to rub and touch.

Cheng Dexuan and Yang Hao were worried that someone would take the opportunity to extort and rob the rich gentry's money and commit adultery with women in violation of military regulations, so while reiterating military discipline, they each dispatched a pro-army, tied a red cloth strip on their arms, and maintained discipline on the Chima Plain, where more and more people and horses gathered.
