Chapter 624: Gunsmoke

readx;

There are so many countries to support the Song Dynasty, which not only means that it has an advantage to a certain extent, but also means that the Song Dynasty must fight this battle very well. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is no longer a war with the Liao State in a simple sense, but also a war in which the Song Dynasty showed its military strength to those countries.

If it is fought well, it will be a subversion to the image of the Great Song Dynasty as a military weakness before.

Although the Song Dynasty pacified the party and settled the wars between Dongying and Goryeo in recent years, all this was not enough to make the surrounding countries change their views on the Song army. The repeated defeats since the time of Zhao Guangyi could not be washed away by these two wars. Only by defeating the Liao State and defeating this only opponent who can compete with the Great Song Dynasty can the nearby countries realize the complete change of the Song army, and no one will dare to challenge the authority of the Song Dynasty again.

The battle plan drawn up by the Great Song Dynasty on this occasion was studied for a long time by the important personnel of the military department. After the restructuring of the army, many generals who had fought in the war entered the military department, although they did not have the good writing of those scholars, and it was impossible for them to write the battle plan brilliantly, but their suggestions were often simple, effective, and in line with the reality of the battlefield.

Renzong is now very confident that the Great Song Dynasty can defeat the Liao State, and he asked with great anticipation: "Shimei, when do you say the war will start?" Do you really have to wait for two years for the Liao people? ”

Chen Yuan said softly: "Long live, the people of the Liao Kingdom are not keeping their promises, it is useless for me to promise to wait for two years, Weichen is sure that once their internal problems are solved, they will take the initiative to call over immediately." ”

Renzong's heart is a little surging, the Song army is now ready, more than 700,000 troops are not placed on the front line just for the Liao people to see, the possibility of war will break out tomorrow in some way that he can't imagine, the only regret is, how did Liao Xingzong go so early?

Renzong unconsciously straightened his waist: "Shimei, look, is it okay for me to drive the expedition in person?" ”

Chen Yuan knew that this was Renzong's ideal, and immediately said: "Weichen thinks that after we have gained an advantage, it is okay to not only boost morale, but also show the national prestige of our Song Dynasty. ”

After hearing this, Renzong smiled: "Okay, if I can, I want to personally lead the troops to defeat Yanjing!" I will definitely put a stick of incense on Liao Xingzong's grave. ”

Hearing these words in Chen Yuan's ears, he suddenly felt that the current Renzong faintly had a hint of domineering, and what he said was enough for the masters.

Chen Yuan has also been busy these days, he is the person who has the most contact with those envoys besides Renzong, because Chen Yuan's is now the president of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce, in order for the development of the Great Song Chamber of Commerce overseas to be smoother, he must come forward for those merchants and mediate the trade relations between various countries.

Renzong's handling of diplomacy can also look at big countries or small countries, big countries pay more attention, small countries can be more casual, but it is not good to do business, no matter whether the other party is a big country or a small country, it must be negotiated well.

His title of the master of the horse gave Chen Yuan the greatest convenience, those countries have to give him a little face, as long as it is not obvious to bully people, generally they do not have excessive requirements.

Now that the Spring Festival has passed, everything that should be left is gone, and everything that should be talked about is almost done, and it is time to prepare for Xu Ji to go to Liao.

Coming out of the palace, Chen Yuan got into the carriage and said to Han Qi: "Now go home, you go and inform Xu Ji and let him come to me at night." ”

Han Qi hesitated: "The shopkeeper, Mr. Pang ordered him to take you to the north of the city at night, didn't he go?" ”

Chen Yuan patted his head: "I almost forgot about this!" Let's go, go now, you come back and help me talk about it, just say I'm going to the Chamber of Commerce for a meeting. ”

Han Qi is already very accustomed to helping Chen Yuanyuan lie, the north of the city is Shen Rui's courtyard, and these two women have to go there once a month, and every time they go, Pang Xi has arranged it in advance, and both parties have to arrange it.

This is also the only place where Chen Yuan can open the precepts after setting that set of family rules. He loved the thrill of cheating with the two of them, but he knew that these two women were definitely not just men by his side.

First of all, their surnames are not the kind of women who are willing to wait for them once a month. Also, the last time Chen Yuan asked Shen Rui if he was really old, Shen Rui said a word: "How can it be, you are much better than a young man in his twenties." ”

Chen Yuan wanted to ask her which young man in his twenties he was much better than, but in the end he didn't speak. This is the way of life of these two women, they are now nearly twenty-seven or eighteen years old, maybe in a few years when they are tired of playing, they will think about finding a good family to marry, but at that time they will not choose their own.

Hurry up, as soon as a woman reaches thirty, this state of mind will change immediately, and she won't be able to play with them for a few years. Seriously, Chen Yuan also felt a little tired.

Liaoguo, Yelu Hongji spread out the map in front of him: "Is Brother Jiu really in such a hurry?" I want to wait until the queen mother's affairs are done before we do it, the queen mother remarried, my sister is not around, I am her only son, if she also leaves, this heart always feels a little sorry for her. ”

Xiao Tali has paid too much for himself to sit on this throne and to be able to sit on the throne. His mother married Yelu Zongyuan as the queen mother? This Yelu Hongji had never thought about it before, and he knew that it was all for himself.

Yelu Nie glanced at him: "As soon as the news of the Queen Mother's marriage to her father spreads, the Song Dynasty will be on guard." ”

The corners of Yelu Hongji's mouth twitched twice: "Okay, where are you going to start?" ”

Yelu Rum's hand was first placed on the westernmost side: "The entire defense line of the Song Dynasty is divided into four parts, starting from the westernmost part, the first part is the troops of Li Shibin and Yeli Yuqi with Qiang soldiers as the main body, a total of 200,000 people, they rely on the terrain of Helan Mountain to threaten the western frontier of our Great Liao, echoing the 300,000 soldiers under Mu Guiying who guarded the three passes, but it is said to be the strongest attack force of the Song Dynasty. ”

Yelu Hongji nodded, and pointed his finger at Datong's position: "Brother Jiu said a little less, in the military town of Datong, there are also 100,000 troops of the Song army who can go up to support at any time, whether it is defending or attacking, it is invulnerable here." ”

Yelu Rinne looked at him with a purr: "Your Majesty, your title had better be changed, you still call me Ninth Brother, which always makes me not know how to look at my current position." ”

A smile rose at the corner of Yelu Hongji's mouth: "I also want to change, but I know that the ninth brother does not recognize me as the emperor in his heart." Moreover, no matter what the identities of me and Brother Jiu are now, when I was a child, when others bullied me, it was Brother Jiu who stood up for me, and I remember it and will never forget it. ”

Yelu Gollum's face showed a trace of gloom, and Yelu Hongji could say such a thing, which was enough to show that he already had the bearing and mind of an emperor, which made Yelu Gollum a little unwilling.

There is no interface, he is not talking about this topic: "To the east is a vacuum area of the Song army, Zhending Mansion, where there are only 5,000 Song troops stationed in the three cities, it seems that it is best to fight together, but if we dare to fight, Mu Guiying will quickly cut off our retreat, and that Ren Fu will also rush from Hejian Mansion to support, the emperor of the Song Dynasty still has troops in Bianjing, we will be caught in this place, unable to advance or retreat." It's a sleeve that can't be drilled. ”

Yelu Hongji thought for a moment: "Then, what does Brother Jiu mean to fight Ren Fu?" Ren Fu was stationed in Hejian Province and held an army of 150,000. The Song army's weapons to defend the city are very powerful, if you want to fight down, how sure is Brother Jiu? ”

Yelune grunted and shook her head: "No, Issei is not sure." It's not a matter of the 150,000 troops, but if we choose the battlefield in Hejian Province, Di Qing will definitely come to fight the Tumen River, and we still have to fight on two fronts, or will we be flanked by the Song army. Di Qing can't fight there, the terrain of Goryeo is dangerous, and the hundreds of thousands of troops of our Liao State were not able to defeat Goryeo, and this lesson cannot be forgotten. Moreover, the sailors of the Song Dynasty are very powerful, and they can cut off our retreat in Goryeo. ”

Yeluhonki looked up from the map: "Don't we have any warplanes?" ”

Yelune grunted and smiled very confidently: "Judging from the layout of the Song army, we have no chance at all, but war is like a chess game, no matter how good the layout is, it will be defeated because of an occasional mistake by a chess player." Isn't Chen Shimei able to make a noise? Okay, I'm going to make a buzz too. ”

His fist slammed into the location of Hejian Mansion on the map: "Hit here!" ”

Hejian Mansion is the border area between the Song army and the Liao State, the Song Dynasty has always deployed strong troops here, Xin'an, Baoding, Ansu, Shun'an, four military camps guard the security of Hejian Province, at the same time, the civil landlord armed forces are also very active here.

No matter from the point of view of the deployment of military forces or the terrain, Hejian Mansion is not the best choice, where the terrain is flat, conducive to cavalry charge, but the Song Dynasty built a lot of cities and fortresses, the Song army's combat ability in the castle is very terrible, which is very clear once the Liao people are very clear.

Yelu Hongji frowned, his heart full of doubts about Yelu Negrune's choice.

Yelu Ne grunted and said: "Please ask the emperor to personally lead the army to attack Hejian Province, although there are many Song troops here, but for us, the terrain there can make it easier for us to retreat." ”

Yelu Hongji looked at him: "Then what are you doing Ninth Brother?" ”

Yelune grunted and said, "I'll watch from behind, and once Song Jun shows a flaw, I'll pounce on it immediately." ”

"Can't I be in the back?"

"No, Your Majesty, I'm better at fighting than you, what are flaws, what are the other party's traps, I know better than you."

The two looked at each other, and after a long time, Yelu Hongji had a smile on his face: "Okay, listen to Brother Jiu." ”
