The spring breeze Buddha passed by, which made Chen Yuan feel very comfortable, but the helmet on his head was a little heavy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info He didn't want to bring it, because Shopkeeper Chen wasn't ready to go head-to-head with Li Yuanhao on the battlefield in person.

But Song Qi told him that the helmet must be worn, because this is the rule.

Chen Yuan's troops were only the vanguard, and Fan Zhongyan's army had not yet set out, so there were very few people to see them off, but Lu Yijian came, Bao Zheng came, and Mu Guiying also came. The rest are some people who have a better relationship with Chen Yuan or Song Qi, such as Zeng Gongliang and Wen Yanbo.

Oh, Mu Guiying didn't come to see her off, she was arrested! Yang Wenguang wanted to hide from Mu Guiying and run away first, but with the experience of the previous car last time, Mu Guiying easily caught him this time.

After Bao Zheng and Lu Yijian were briefly polite, they came to Mu Guiying, who was teaching Yang Wenguang a lesson: "Marshal Mu! ”

Mu Guiying hurriedly returned the salute: "Master Bao, I really didn't expect you to come to see off Chen Shimei." ”

Bao Zheng smiled: "The marshal has led the troops for many years, Bao Zheng asks for advice, can these people fight?" ”

Mu Guiying nodded: "Yes, it's much better than I thought, although Chen Shimei doesn't know how to train soldiers, he can have a good way." ”

Bao Zheng bowed slightly: "That's good, by the way, Marshal, why don't you let the little marquis go out to practice?" How did the sons and daughters of the Yang family grow up in infancy? ”

Yang Wenguang hurriedly said: "Yes, mother, you see that Master Bao said so!" ”

Mu Guiying was not polite to him: "Shut up!" After speaking, he hugged his fist at Bao Zheng: "Lord Bao, the Yang family is thin now, if Wen Guang has any mistakes, I really don't know what the Yang family will do in the future!" ”

Bao Zheng smiled: "So you married Wen Guang a seven-room daughter-in-law, right?" Haha, Marshal Mu, don't be surprised by my words. I'm afraid that the heroes of the Yang family have spirits in the sky, and they would rather Wen Guang only have one gun in his hand than watch him sit at home with his seven-room daughter-in-law, right? What you kept for them is really the son of the Yang family? ”

Mu Guiying was stunned for a moment, she didn't understand this truth, it's just that every woman is selfish after becoming a mother.

Yang Wenguang saw that Mu Guiying didn't speak, and took a step forward: "Mother, just let me go, didn't I come back safely last time I went to Liaoguo?" ”

Mu Guiying turned around: "There is only half a life left, is that called peace!" ”

Yang Wenguang smiled: "That's careless, don't worry about it this time, it will be fine!" ”

Mu Guiying thought for a while, and finally relented: "Hey, since you like it, you can go." If you play well this time, I will recommend you to the emperor. ”

Yang Wenguang was overjoyed: "Thank you, mother!" Thank you, Mr. Bao! ”

Bao Zheng bowed his head, and his dark face showed a smile.

Mu Guiying patted his son on the shoulder: "Remember, on the battlefield, cowards are the fastest to die!" ”

Yang Wenguang nodded: "Got it." ”

Ten days later, Chen Yuan arrived in Gyeongju with three thousand, and Di Qing's two thousand men had already received orders to wait here for three days.

Seeing Di Qing Chen Yuan was very happy: "Brother Di, this time my brother asked the emperor to order Li Yuanhao to fight, and he didn't have much confidence in his heart, so he specially pulled you to help him, you won't blame me, right?" ”

Di Qing smiled: "Where, I was thinking about whether I could find a chance to avenge the revenge of Sanchuankou, Brother Chen asked me to order my troops, and my brother was very grateful." ”

Chen Yuan didn't say anything, and pulled Di Qing into the barracks: "It's still more than five hundred miles away from Yan'an Mansion here, Brother Di came a few days earlier, I don't know if I found anything abnormal?" ”

Di Qing shook his head: "This area is quite calm, after the fiasco of Sanchuankou, Lord Fan took eight hundred soldiers to guard Yanzhou for seven days. Our reinforcements gradually arrived, but the other two troops that were originally scheduled to be encircled by the party were defeated by us, so Li Yuanhao had already retreated from Yanzhou. ”

Di Qing is a qualified general, even if he is just a commander, he always has insight into the entire battle situation!

The two of them walked into the military tent together, a military map was still on the table, and an oil lamp was placed next to it, obviously Di Qing was studying the current form when Chen Yuan came.

After Chen Yuan, Yang Wenguang and others entered the house, they came directly to the map: "How is the current situation?" ”

Di Qing gritted his teeth and shook his head slightly: "Although our army is now holding Yanzhou, its morale is low, and the fiasco at Sanchuankou is like a shadow, which makes the soldiers feel inexplicable fear. Lord Fan's command is not very flexible, so we can only defend passively until now, and I hope that after Brother Chen comes, the situation will be improved. ”

Song Qi on the side immediately shook his fists and said: "Long live sent us, just to boost morale first, so that all the soldiers know Long Live determination, this time, we must return the color to the party members!" ”

Di Qing said after hearing this: "Well, this is the best." It's just, I don't know what you want to do? ”

As he spoke, his eyes looked at Chen Yuan, and Chen Yuan's brows were tightly locked: "I am a layman in the matter of fighting, if Brother Di has any suggestions for a while, but it doesn't matter, I just want to know where Li Yuanhao is and what he is doing." ”

Di Qing's hand swiped on the map and placed it on the position of the Dingbian Army: "The latest news is that he appeared in the Dingbian Army three days ago and attacked one of our military camps, more than 1,000 brothers were killed in battle, 30,000 people were plundered by the party, and countless property losses were lost. ”

Song Qi was stunned for a moment: "What is he doing robbing the people?" ”

At this point, Chen Yuan replied for Di Qing: "Li Yuanhao fought with the Liao State last year, and his vitality was seriously damaged, and the population in his territory was seriously insufficient, so he plundered some people from the Great Song Dynasty to supplement it. ”

Song Qi's mouth moved twice, obviously quite dissatisfied with Chen Yuan's failure to tell him these things he knew.

Chen Yuan also just knew! Before stepping into Gyeongju, he met the person who Chai Yang stayed here, and it was that person who told Chen Yuan some information about the party, and he had some understanding of Li Yuanhao's purpose!

Di Qing nodded and said: "Li Yuanhao can be said to have taken the lead this time, after breaking Jin Mingzhai, the entire Great Song Dynasty's defense line was in chaos, he obviously made up his mind to rob it, and set up a special army, called the Capture Army, with the largest number of people, and if he didn't fight, he would be responsible for robbery." Wherever this force went, there was basically nothing. ”

Di Qing said that his expression was a little angry: "Li Yuanhao also formed a force of those Song people who were robbed by him, called the Crashing Army, and whenever he encountered a difficult city, he let these Song people go first." The elite of the party is mixed in. Most of our sergeants defending the city were reluctant to shoot arrows. Many castles were broken in this way. ”

Yang Wenguang was very angry when he heard it: "It's too despicable! ”

Chen Yuan smiled: "There is nothing despicable and despicable, the battlefield is like this, as long as you can win, you are a hero." Brother Di, Western Xia claimed to be 500,000 soldiers, but in fact, he counted all his school-age men to reach this number. You say, how many centaurs are there in Western Xia now? I mean real troops. ”

Is this question really Di Qing, he thought for a long time, shook his head and said: "This is not clear, you have to ask me how much he came, I can tell you a prepared number, a total of eighty thousand." Counting the 100,000 Qiang soldiers who surrendered, Li Yuanhao's current available strength is 180,000. ”

Chen Yuan shook his head slightly after hearing this: "I don't have the same opinion on this point!" Li Yuanhao brought 80,000 people to fight to this extent, on the surface, it seems that the reinforcements of Western Xia have been coming in a steady stream, but the second batch of troops he drove over are basically those 'capture army', and there is not much combat effectiveness. It is estimated that there are only 70,000 elite people left. ”

Song Qi interjected: "What about the 100,000 Qiang soldiers?" ”

Chen Yuan said: "That guy Li Yuanhao is naturally suspicious, how can he rest assured of those who have just surrendered? Those 100,000 people are just shouting behind him, and he even has to send some troops to guard, so that Li Yuanhao can fight with 50,000 troops at most! ”

Di Qing nodded after hearing this: "What Brother Chen said is very reasonable. In fact, I don't think there is much difference between 80,000 people and 50,000 people, and it is impossible to fight with the Great Song Dynasty in a dignified manner! Therefore, when Lord Fan Zhongyan comes, what Li Yuanhao has to do is to make peace. ”

Chen Yuan's eyes glanced at Di Qing: "Brother Di, you are better at fighting than me, but this guess, brother thinks he is slightly better." The difference between 80,000 and 50,000 is significant. If Li Yuanhao has 80,000 people to use, I will stay in Gyeongju now and wait for Lord Fan to come before leaving. But if he only has 50,000 men, we're going to have a war right away! I bet with you, Li Yuanhao will definitely not let us go to Yanzhou City so smoothly! ”

Li Yuanhao dared to run to Gyeongju to beat them? Even Di Qing thought that this was absolutely impossible. Because the reinforcements sent by the emperor must not be ordinary fish belly troops, once they can't eat them, they are likely to be besieged by the Song army in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty! It's so adventurous!

It is absolutely impossible from a military point of view, but Chen Yuan knows that Li Yuanhao is now a gambler, and he only weighs the proportion of risks and benefits. Kill this support army, and the morale of the entire Song Dynasty front will be at its lowest point! This is too beneficial to Li Yuanhao! He can achieve unexpected results before Fan Zhongyan arrives! Probably, by the time Fan Zhongyan came, the front line of the Song Dynasty had collapsed.

Chen Yuan didn't care about everyone's surprised expressions, looked at Di Qing and said, "If you want to ambush us on the road from Gyeongju to Yanzhou, where is the most appropriate?" ”

Di Qing shook his head: "It's not suitable anywhere!" The road from Gyeongju to Yeonju is smooth, and there is no place for Li Yuanhao to ambush. Lord Fan Yong has already sent Huang Hede with 5,000 men and horses to meet us two hundred miles outside Yanzhou City. We only need to walk more than 300 miles to meet them, and on the road of more than 300 miles, the Song army has 50,000 or 60,000 to support us at any time, once the fight starts, as long as we hold on for an hour, Li Yuanhao can't run away if he wants to! ”

Chen Yuan was shocked in his heart: "Huang Hede? Is it the prison soldier who came back from Mikawaguchi? ”

To tell the truth, although Chen Yuan didn't know the details of the Battle of Sanchuankou, he believed that Guo Zun, who was the champion of the three armies, and Liu Ping, the main general, had no way to escape, and this master of the prison army was so lucky that he could come back!

Di Qing responded: "It's him." ”

Chen Yuan pondered. Li Yuanhao is very good at fighting, you can see it when you look at Jin Mingzhai, he is a person who will use factors other than war to solve war. Di Qing didn't believe that Li Yuanhao rushed to fight this support army, that was from a military point of view. What if Li Yuanhao has other ways? Li Yuanhao must have another way!

Thinking of this, a smile floated on the corner of Chen Yuan's mouth, he wanted to surprise Li Yuanhao and Renzong! At the moment, he said confidently: "He will come!" If he doesn't come, it means that he is just a little robber, and he doesn't have the courage to make a bigger deal! I was so disappointed in him. ”

Everyone didn't speak, and Chen Yuan obviously didn't convince everyone, but he still insisted on his opinion: "Tomorrow, let's go to Yanzhou!" Strict vigilance along the way, the soldiers are out of their sheaths, arrows are on the string, and they must not be careless! ”

Di Qing and the others didn't say anything, no matter whether there was danger or not, it was always right to be careful.
