When the bows and arrows of the Song army rained towards Deng Yuanjue's corps, Deng Yuanjue had already realized that he would not be able to retreat today, he made a very serious mistake, and perhaps Fang La also made a very serious mistake, that is, no matter when, they always looked at the Song army with a vulnerable eye, but they now found that maybe the Song army was not as vulnerable as they imagined.

In the desert of the northwest, the army that is not too many people, not well-equipped, and not very well paid, has been silently stationed on the border of the empire for more than a hundred years, no matter when, the Northwest Corps has always been elite and good at fighting, in the face of the same cunning and fierce Tangut people, they have never allowed them to invade the hinterland of the Central Plains, the Tang Army has also let the Tubo people enter Chang'an City, and the Northwest Corps has never let the Tubo people or the Tangut people enter their hinterland, even at the most dangerous moment.

The forbidden army did not fight, so it was corrupted at a very fast speed, but the Northwest Corps did not, the Northwest Corps has always struggled on the edge of life and death, the Northwest Corps not only has the strongest and most brave generals and soldiers among the Han people, but also the more fierce fighting soldiers, people only remember that there are a large number of foreign soldiers in the Tang Army, in fact, there are also a large number of foreign soldiers in the Song Army, the Tangut people, the Tubo people, and even the foreigners who can't tell the name of the country.

They formed the most powerful regiment in the Northwest Corps, when Di Qing put down the Nong Zhigao rebellion, the biggest killer was a cavalry, their courage and cruelty and treachery are incomparable to the Han soldiers of the same level, they widely exist in the Northwest Corps of the Song Army, in the previous wars against foreign aggression, these soldiers have also paid heavy casualties.

It seems that in that era, it is not a rare thing to abandon one's own nation and country and serve foreigners, traitors have existed since ancient times, but the number of Xia traitors, Liao traitors, and Tibetan traitors is not a few, and a large number of soldiers in the Song army are not soft when they fight against their fellow people, and the traitors in these foreigners are not soft when dealing with their own people.

When the Jurchens dealt with the Liao people, the population was less than one million, but the Liao people had tens of millions, and they were really snakes swallowing elephants, where did their soldiers and horses come from? It was from the captives of the Liao army, after the Liao people were captured, they seemed to recognize the Jurchens with an indistinguishable speed, identified themselves as Jurchens, and joined the Jurchen Corps, so that the Jurchen Corps, which originally had only a few thousand people, rolled bigger and bigger like a snowball, and finally destroyed the Liao State.

In the era of the Mongols, the Jin traitors dealt with their own court and nation, and they did not show any softness, Zhang Hongfan, the commander of the Mongol Song Dynasty, was the Han people, it was he who chased and killed all the way, chased the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to Yashan, and destroyed Zhang Shijie's last fleet with his own hands, and it was the Han people who destroyed the Han dynasty, and they did not care about the blood connection with the same clan, this common situation cannot be simply attributed to the word shameless, human nature is a puzzle that can never be solved.

There were no soldiers in the forbidden army, but Yue Chuan saw about one-third of the foreign soldiers in the three thousand horse team brought by Lin Chong, and the Tangut people were not a minority in it, Yue Tuo had discussed this issue with Lin Chong very curiously, and asked Lin Chong why he would accept the Tangut people into his army and then kill the Tangut people, Lin Chong smiled and said: "These are not important, they have entered my army, they agree with my leadership, believe that I am their commander, obey my orders, it's that simple, As for whether they are Han Chinese, Tubo people, or party members, it doesn't matter. ”

Yue Chuan gradually understood, it seems that in this era, the national consciousness is not the mainstream, in this era of five dynasties and ten countries, the entire East Asian region has fallen into a chaotic era of conquest, the culture and education that maintain the national consciousness have been destroyed, people pay more attention to not education, but survival, although since Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty to unify the Han Dynasty, all ethnic groups have also established the country, this situation has been alleviated, but the ethical concepts generally advocated by people in the previous era of great unification still seem to be very fragile.

Yue Tuo also began to accept foreigners to enter his army to work for himself, because from the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the army's battle was to survive and reward, not only the Song Dynasty, but also the Dangxiang people, the Tubo people, and the Liao people, the army had no sense of state, no sense of honor, for money, for food, for rewards, for wives and children, the army confusion of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms has continued to this day, and it has not been solved.

They began to think about why they were fighting, but they had not yet found the answer, they could only blame themselves for fighting for themselves, in such a situation, except for a small number of people with firm consciousness who insisted on their national blood and national beliefs, and were willing to die, there were still a considerable number of people who only considered themselves, thinking that it was the same wherever they got ahead, and if they couldn't get ahead in the Great Song Dynasty, they would go to the Western Xia, and if they couldn't survive in the Western Xia, they would come to the Great Song Dynasty, and gradually, this consciousness became a subconscious.

Fight for yourself, live for yourself, not for others, not for your country.

Therefore, the Song army could accept the Tanguts into their own army, and then kill the Tanguts in turn, and the Tanguts could also accept the Song people into their court as officials and give advice against the Song.

Lin Chong trusts the more than 1,000 foreign soldiers under his command very much, he said that these more than 1,000 soldiers are the strongest fighting power in the entire horse team, growing up on horseback since childhood, not the Han people who learned to ride horses after tomorrow can be compared, you see their legs, they are all turned outward, that is the mark of growing up on horseback since childhood, they can live on the horse, and even eat, drink and sleep on the horse, and we can't, although we can insist on fighting on the horse for a period of time, but in terms of equestrianism, we are not a little bit worse.

They followed me from birth to death, in the most difficult time, in the task of destroying the granary of 300 cavalry, there were 200 soldiers from Western Xia and Tubo, they led the way for me, killed the enemy for me, protected me out of the encirclement, and made great contributions to the Great Song Dynasty, even the officials agreed with the existence of these people, what reason do I have not to believe them?

Yue Flip looked at the soldiers from Western Xia and from Tubo, they also seemed to look at Yue Flip with a very friendly smile, Yue Flip did not show any malice towards them, they also treated Yue Flip with kindness, Yue Flip began to be convinced, they did not care about the nation but more about the people, as the royal family of the Liao State, Yelu Chucai could work hard for Temujin, perhaps this is the reason.

If this is the case, perhaps some changes can be made to the Huayi defense that I have always insisted on - I will never accept traitors, but I welcome Xia traitors, Tibetan traitors, Liao traitors, Jin traitors, and even Mongolian traitors! When they come to my hands, they will be treated very well, and then, for me, they will give me advice and clean up their own people!

What Yue Flip saw and heard in this war had a very serious impact on his future growth, this war not only made Yue Fei Zhang Xianchao cover Liu Tang and them to grow, but also made Yue Flip grow, Yue Flip found that some of the things he originally identified with had no market in the Great Song Dynasty, and what he did not agree with was very popular and useful, so why insist on those? In the beginning, catering is the number one priority.

There is no doubt that the war began, Yue Flip was also fortunate to see the real battle array commander, before, he had been giving advice, assigning tasks, but did not participate in the specific command, the command on the battlefield, Yue Flip only had the experience of destroying the robbers with a snowball, but that could not even be regarded as war experience, it could only be regarded as a small fight, the real 10,000 people battle array, the plain field battle, except for spectacular and bloody, there are no other words to describe
