Yue Chuan believed that Song Ting had not thought hard about the way to fight the nomadic cavalry without war horses, and after trying all kinds of methods, he painfully came to the conclusion that only the cavalry could fight the cavalry, so Song Ting had to seek a way to import war horses in a situation where he was embattled.

How to get war horses from the blockade of Liao, maybe it can also be regarded as another history of the Song Dynasty, the Song people can't raise war horses themselves, even if they can raise them, they are all horses, they can't be used, the really usable war horses are on the grassland and plateau, the Song court has been able to provide its own military horses for more than a hundred years, and it is estimated that it accounts for one-tenth of the total number of military horses, that is to say, after Taizong Zhao Guangyi's two northern expeditions failed, the cavalry that the Song court could arm was only 10,000 when it broke the sky.

But now, the Song court has 50,000 cavalry, and in any period, the Song court can maintain the minimum number of cavalry troops at 40,000, in the war horse can not multiply, and there is no land with abundant water and grass in the interior to raise horses, the Song court can maintain such a number of cavalry, obviously there must be a way to obtain war horses from the Liao State, the Liao people may also know it, but they know that they can't oppress the Song court too much, otherwise, not only the Song court is dissatisfied, Those tribes who secretly did business with Song Ting and made high profits would also be dissatisfied.

Yue Flip has a relationship with the Western Army, and the vast majority of people in the mainland who hold military power are different from this, Yue Flip has an internal relationship with the Western Army that is difficult for others to reach, the number one general of the Western Army Lin Chong is Yue Turn's senior brother, the No. 2 fierce general Luda once saved Yue Turn's life, and then there are constant correspondence, the new general Yue Fei is Yue Turn's own brother, just Lin Chong and Yue Fei's cavalry, there are 10,000!

That is to say, one-fifth of the cavalry of the Great Song Dynasty is in the hands of Yue Tuo's senior brother and elder brother, which is a special relationship that Yue Tuo has that is difficult for others to achieve, and Lin Chong and Yue Fei have very high status within the Western Army, through them, Yue Tuo believes that he can get some special channels to obtain war horses, but the headache is that now Yue Tuo cannot immediately contact them through their relationship, because they have led the army to the Hebei front line to prepare for the second battle of Liao.

Emperor Huizong was resolute, and finally realized that he was just a eunuch Tong Guan back, with the 200,000 soldiers of the Western Army who were confused, and the fierce generals who were dejected and had no spirit at all, began their own journey, Yue Tuo could almost foresee the outcome of this war, but no matter what way, Yue Tuo knew that he could not contact them.

Perhaps with the four uncertain factors of Lin Chong Luda and Yue Fei and Zhang Xian, this Western army, which is more powerful than another time and space, can perform some well...... Right?

To tell the truth, Yue Chuan can understand what kind of mood the soldiers of the Western Army were when they received the order to retreat, and he can also understand what kind of mood the generals were forced to stop the war when they were faced with the imminent demise of the Western Xia.

Expedition for more than a year, the Western Army will already be the end of the strong crossbow, if it is not for the great achievement of destroying Xia in support, they will definitely not be able to hold on to now, but not only is there no hope of destroying Xia, there is no even rest, this side leaves the border of Western Xia, that side is about to go to Hebei, the land of Hebei is not familiar with the place, and the environment is completely different from Hebei, how can these natives of the northwest be relieved? How can the generals of the Northwest Gate, who were born and raised in the northwest all their lives, let go?

Yao Gu, the commander of the Yao family's army, is sick, and has not improved, although the famous doctor in the northwest said that it was a minor illness after diagnosis, but everyone knows that Yao Gu is not sick in the body, but in the heart, he didn't know where to toss a carriage, lying in the carriage all day long with the army, this is something he has not done since he joined the army.

The veteran of the Western Army, the Planter Dao, is really sick, he can't afford to be sick, he goes back to his hometown to recuperate, and the Planter Army is handed over to the temporary commander of the Planter, the Planter Army has gone through several wars, and it is extremely hard, and the Planter Dao insists on the front line at the age of seventy and does not retreat, which is their pillar, but now the Planter Dao is sick, and the Planter Army has lost its backbone, and no matter how good the Planter is good at fighting, it cannot save the army's discouragement.

Lin Chong and Luda were wrapped in gauze and rode on horses, their heads bowed, silent, the sorrow that had not appeared on Lin Chong's face for many years reappeared, when fighting, even in the face of a desperate situation, Lin Chong was full of spirit, with a son and daughter and a wife as the pillars, Lin Chong was full of infinite motivation, but now, Lin Chong felt that the depression in Tokyo City had returned to his heart again, and he thought that he could live a happy life by escaping to the northwest, but now, he still had to be dominated by Song Ting......

Luda was seriously injured, but he was still riding on a horse, drinking wine one by one, no one cared about him, no one took military orders to suppress Luda, they all knew that Luda was venting, venting the deep dissatisfaction in their hearts, the strong and warlike Lin Jiajun, the first strong army of the Western Army, and even the first strong army of the Great Song Dynasty, Lin Jiajun, at this moment, is at the lowest point of morale, Lin Chong and Luda, the two generals, are still like this, and it is understandable how the army is.

The soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no will to fight, and even Tong Guan, who is the commander-in-chief, is also confused, can such an army win the battle? Does the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun really make sense in their eyes? Isn't it treacherous to start a war against the Khitan at this moment? Is it commendable? They don't know, they don't know at all.

But they are sure of one thing.

We are warriors! We are soldiers! We are glorious men! We're not pigs and dogs like the Praetorian Army! We are real soldiers!

The military salary is only half of the forbidden army, we admit it, the status is only half of the forbidden army, we also admit it, and the tattoo on the face, we also recognize it! But now we must be denied even the opportunity to attain great glory!

At this moment, the hearts of every soldier of the Western Army were ignited with raging anger, aimed at the court that was drunk and dreaming of death in Kaifeng, and the great Song official who was high and incomprehensible, His Majesty the Emperor! How far are you going to toss the Western Army before you give up?! The Western Army is not a forbidden army, the Western Army is a warrior! It's a soldier!

Depriving us of our honor, and depriving us of our credibility, forcing us to be treacherous villains? The husband stands between heaven and earth, faith and righteousness are the foundation of survival, you shameless literati, we still want it! As the last soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they have to be responsible for their credibility and righteousness, and if they lose these, the cohesion that the Western Army relies on for survival will collapse, and the Western Army will never regain its glory!

But now, there is nothing they can do!

Refusal to fight? Then the emperor was furious, transferred troops to levy, they killed those waste forbidden troops, and then beat back to Kaifeng, abolished the emperor of the Zhao family, and respected Tong Guan as the emperor?

The royal family is all good means, they are all good guys, get a eunuch to be the boss for the big guys, so that the big guys don't even have a way to learn Zhao Kuangyin, who can make the eunuch the emperor?

The Western Army fell into great pain, and this pain will inevitably bring disastrous consequences, which the red-eyed Emperor Huizong does not know, and he does not even know that between him and the little Emperor Chai Zongxun, just because Tong Guan is missing a part, there will be a world of different consequences.

The emperor of the Zhao family is so scheming!

It's too clever to calculate!

But is it really good for them? Do they really get anything out of it? Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, can they really get it? These problems are obviously not within the scope of Zhang Shuye's consideration, he is basically dead to the court, the far-sighted people have already left, or they are suppressed and can't raise their heads, those literati who don't understand the art of war actually shout for war, and the literati who have always regarded soldiers as stinky hills actually want to lead the army to fight......

Has Da Song really come to this point?

Zhang Shuye left Kaifeng with confusion and pain, came to Jiqian Erzhou, came to find Yue Tuo, he had a lot of things to say to Yue Tuo, there were many things he wanted to ask Yue Tuo, along the way, Jiqian Erzhou was calm and full of life, so that Zhang Shuye looked down on the demons in the court even more, when Yue Tuo asked the court for the help of the general judgment, they actually thought that Yue Tuo couldn't bear it and wanted to pick the son and leave, and find a general judge to be a substitute for the dead ghost, so no one was willing to go, dead or alive, and Yue Tuo was not allowed to leave there.

Now it seems that they are all fools, they are all short-sighted guys, they can't imagine that even if Jiqian Erzhou is not a paradise on earth, it is also a beautiful scenery on earth!

Busy officials and the army, busy merchants and farmers, busy craftsmen and workers, it seems that everyone has something to do, in extreme busyness, officials and troops everywhere to guide the people to resume production, crusade against the thieves who have slipped through the net, businessmen are busy buying goods everywhere to do business, farmers are busy with spring ploughing, master craftsmen and workers are busy making all the utensils related to the resumption of production, everyone is busy, but there is not a trace of dissatisfaction, Everyone was busy eating a bowl of rice and drinking a glass of water, and all they showed were satisfied smiles.

There seems to be no mustard between the civilian officials and the army generals and soldiers, each performing their own duties, and in their spare time, they are also laughing with each other and looking forward to the future, and the serious confrontation between the civil and military in Kaifeng Mansion and the dissatisfaction caused by the extreme suppression of the military make the atmosphere quite weird.

How long has it been since I've seen the sincere smiles on the faces of those scribes and soldiers?

How long has it been since I've seen that smile on the faces of those people in Kaifeng Mansion?

Hell? This is paradise, right?
