Chapter 221: Heading North (1)
The Shenwu Winning Army was born out of war, and it became a strong army in the world in two or three years. Even if the soldiers came to Taiyuan to quell the chaos, every move had made Taiyuan Mansion sigh at the strength of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. However, when it is really encountered, it can be seen that this strong army is dazzling and dazzling!
More than 10,000 foot riders, all of them returned to the camp after hearing the order, prepared military equipment, and replenished the quota in the battalion. Passing the ride back and forth on the way, the order is forbidden, and the order is to act, simply and neatly. There is no prevarication, no entanglement, no generals fighting each other, arguing more and arguing less, and being afraid of the heavy. What's even more eye-catching is that when I see the soldiers of the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army occasionally appear in the city of Taiyuan Mansion, everyone is elated, and they are happy when they hear the battle, and they look like they are jumping and trying!
The reason for this is not complicated, compared to the Western Army, which the Great Song Dynasty has always relied on. The Shenwu Changsheng Army is not as good as the Shaanxi Fourth Road that has been operating for decades, and the whole army is now riding 10,000 or thousands of people, all of which are purely field groups. Even in the era before Xiao Yan crossed over, the pure field army of the Celestial Empire was much less problematic than the various sè troops who had local belongings. The troops said that they could pull it out if they pulled it out, and there were not so many troublesome things.
Moreover, the Western Army is said to be a group, but it is also divided into large and small factions, the Great Song Dynasty military system, and also opened up the indiscriminate system of the size of the later generations. It is the military forts, city fortresses, and garrisons everywhere, and there are also quite large dúlìxìng, each with its own thoughts. Wherever soldiers are used, they are drawn from everywhere and formed an army. Naturally, it is indispensable to quarrel with each other, and it is natural that there will be some things that will be fought for merit and blame when military orders are assigned. Leading generals often have to spend a lot of effort on reconciling the relationship between the generals in the army. This is the so-called twilight that will inevitably occur when a military has been in business for a long time.
But for the Shenwu Victorious Army, the shallow foundation also has the advantage of a shallow foundation, and various interest groups within the Shenwu Victorious Army have not yet been formed, and the two generals, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, can do the order and prohibit. Layer upon layer of constraints, the law is strict. How many generals from the Western Army are willing to stay in the new group of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, and it is not because this new army does not have so many complicated personnel problems and has the vigor and vitality when it was first founded.
The most important point is that the whole army of Shenwu Changsheng knows how they came to be in the current position. Isn't it all based on the hard battles in the Pingyan War? With the confidence of a strong army, in the difficult situation of the DPRK and China, it is still firmly based in Hedong, and it is seen that Hedong Road is the town of the Shenwu Victorious Army, which can be operated to pass on to the grandchildren and be the foundation of the generals for future generations.
And their commander Xiao Yan relied on the military exploits of leading Pingyan, and now he has led the privy council, sealed the king of Yan, and leaned towards the government and the opposition.
The rise of the Shenwu Victorious Army was like Xiao Yan, which shocked the Great Song Dynasty and stunned it, which has never happened since the founding of the country. Even the Western Army is now inevitably going to avoid three points.
If they want to make this feat go further, they want to prove that what they have gained is not for nothing, and in order to make their benefactor Xiao Yan's position in the court more and more stable, don't they have to rely on the next victory after victory? As long as the victory continues, the future of those born in the Shenwu Victory Army is limitless!
As long as King Yan is still firmly in power in the court!
In such a situation, how can the Shenwu often victorious army go up to the generals and down to the soldiers, how can they not be happy when they hear the war? Even if the cold winter is not the time when the army is not used, after hearing the order, the whole army is like a cháo!
In just a few days, the Shenwu Changsheng Army was in Taiyuan Prefecture, and the main army left behind in the Daizhou camp had been prepared. The regular army is 8,000 and the horse army is 4,000. Be ready to march north at any time. In the army, more than 10,000 auxiliary troops were prepared, and they transported grain and grass with the army and undertook miscellaneous chores in the battalion.
The accumulated reserves of grain and military materials can be used for the needs of the whole army for three months. It was enough to support the whole army to reach the left of Yanmen and make contact with the southbound Jurchen military horses.
And now the entire Hedong Road, under the auspices of Wu Min, has also broken out with rare high efficiency, fully supporting the Shenwu Changsheng Army in battle. It turned out that the official reserves wanted to allocate the military, but they didn't know how many processes they had to go through, how many things they had to give birth, how many difficulties the military ministers would have, and how many benefits they had to send to the big turban in order to get it. Now all the money will be allocated to the military in a single sentence.
Although the sealing of Hedong Road was emptied by Zhao Ji that year, there are still Changping accumulations in the place. For a while, it was sent into the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army.
Although the army on Hedong Road is not only a rì, but there are still forbidden soldiers in the local area, although the number of soldiers is very large, it is completely impossible to fight. It can be requisitioned or used as an auxiliary for the transfer of military supplies. The deputy head of the forbidden army stationed on Hedong Road, the general Jiang Weijiang, who had made some contributions during the chaos in Taiyuan, was also too busy to do his best, trying his best to recruit and mobilize the troops who could be concentrated near the left, and for a time he also raised more than 1,000 people, and paid out some rewards out of his own pocket, so that they could contribute with the army in this winter, and he was praised by Han Shizhong, and this Jiang general also smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth - Xiao Yan is the king of Yan, although the doctor of the central Wenchen of Bianliang is high and steep, but there are many people in the world who want to stick it!
These auxiliaries, as time goes by, will naturally gather more and more. Local people will also be hired to provide a steady stream of help. The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army fought in front, but it was only faced with thousands of Jurchen military horses, and the estimated scale of the battle was not too large. Even if you just exhaust the strength of Hedong Road, you will never be lacking.
In the midst of the chaos, time passed suddenly, and the military horses of the Daizhou battalion had already set off for the north. And Han Shizhong did not mean to delay and wait in Taiyuan Mansion, so he had to lead the thousands of military horses that had been prepared and set off from Taiyuan Mansion first. And the civil and military forces of Taiyuan Mansion all went out of the city to see them off.
Outside the Yanmen Pass, it is still full of wind and snow, but the weather is excellent in the left of Taiyuan Fucheng. In winter, it hangs high, illuminating the sky and the earth. Covered by ice and snow all around, the sun shines, dazzling reflection, reflecting the cold light of the armor metal on the armor of thousands of military horses outside the city.
Half of each of the 3,000 regular troops were selected from the nearly 10,000 Shenwu Changsheng Army in Taiyuan Mansion as the vanguard. Naturally, it is jīng sharp in jīng sharp.
He didn't carry much baggage, and even the two thousand auxiliary troops that accompanied the army were all jīng strong. It is to prepare to go north at the same time, reach the three passes of Yanmen, stabilize the situation in the border areas, and deter the Jurchen army and horses going south.
Now although Xiao Yan is in power in the court, the situation is delicate. The Jurchen military horses were raging in the Yunnei states, and the problem was not too big. If they are allowed to go deep into Hedong, they don't know how many variables will be born. In any case, you have to do your best to tie this mouth together!
The weather is still cold, and these thousands of strong men and horses stand in the snowfield, and hundreds of flags are dancing and fluttering. Their tiger ben are all silently waiting for their boss to give the order to move forward. I couldn't hear a sound.
On the high place on the side of the road, dozens of civil and military officers on Hedong Road hugged Han Shizhong, looking at the thousands of jīng rui in front of them, everyone sighed. Wu Min rode his horse and stood side by side with Han Shizhong, and said angrily: "If the Shenwu Changsheng army goes north, the east of the river is as stable as Mount Tai!" Liangchen, all the way to Hedong, I am counting on you, the general. If it doesn't work, even if you are looking for a student, the student doesn't dare to say a word. ”
When Wu Min was the deputy of the cardinal, although Han Shizhong was thin and had a bit of a reputation, how could he stand in front of him? But now the form shì is stronger than the human. Hedong Road is now almost the territory of the Shenwu Changsheng Army, and Wu Min was originally a member of the party, and most of them were convicted. Wu Min's status is honorable and disgraced, which can be said to be between Xiao Yan's thoughts. Even in front of Han Shizhong, a military minister, he was polite in every way.
Wu Min's confidant Lu Cunzhong watched from behind the crowd and sighed depressedly, but nothing
I can't say. Who would have thought that they would be in the east of the river with Wu Min's vigor, but now they would be sold well in front of a vulgar and unliterate martial minister!
The Wenchen of Hedong Road around him, now rì farewell, although they all have the intention of seeing Han Shizhong. However, seeing Wu Min so humble in front of Han Shizhong, everyone couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Alas, how did you let the military ministers climb to the top?
The atmosphere around him was a little strange, but Wu Min was at ease. looked at Han Shizhong with a sincere face.
Han Shizhong smiled and hugged his fist towards Wu Min: "Thank you for appeasement, the future road will be entrusted to appeasement." A handsome athlete goes north, as long as the rear can be helped, thousands of Jurchen Tartars are not enough to be flat. ”
Wu Min groaned for a moment, motioned for Han Shizhong to follow him and ride forward a few steps, leaving everyone. lowered his voice and said, "Liangchen, why are you in such a hurry to go north? Now the king of Yanjun is in charge of the eastern mansion at the beginning, and he is fluctuating in the middle of the court. The Jurchen military horses went south, and they didn't know what kind of variables they would give birth to in the court. Good ministers but lead the army and horses, sitting in Taiyuan Mansion, one is waiting for the order of the king of Yanjun, and the other is supporting the king of Yanjun, isn't it a two-way strategy? ”
Whether it is the god or the tone, Wu Min is very sincere at this moment, and he looks like he is digging out his heart and lungs. It seems to be the appearance of Xiao Yan, the king of Yanjun, who has been a confidant for many years, and Han Shizhong has been a friend for many years.
Han Shizhong glanced at Wu Min, and he was a little unsure of what kind of mentality this Wu An appeased was.
Are you really going to make a heart and stand on Xiao Yan's boat?
What Wu Min said is naturally very safe. Han Shizhong had also really considered sending an army north to join Yue Fei before. He sits in Taiyuan, on the one hand, he is Yue Fei's harem, and on the other hand, he is ready to support Xiao Yan's position in the Bianliang Dynasty at any time.
But in an instant, he figured out that the Jurchen enemy, how could he be half-hearted to ensure victory? Xiao Yan and Shenwu's status as a victorious army have only come to this point by relying on the support of one victory after another. As long as the southbound Jurchen Tartar can be swept cleanly, it will be the best help for Xiao Yan!
There are still some things that can't be said to Wu Min, the states of Yunnei are not Xiao Yan's foundation now? Moreover, compared with Hedong, there are fewer constraints, which is more convenient for distribution and operation. The people in the border areas are strong, and there are horses and people. As long as the military resources can keep up, another 10,000 or 20,000 capable troops can be expanded. How can the Jurchen Tartars be allowed to wreak havoc on their own inheritance? Not to mention that Xiao Yan also has a beloved inner pet, who is now isolated in Yingzhou, and he doesn't know if he exists. Without affecting the overall situation, how to try to rescue her!
There is a more important point, Han Shizhong's hands are itchy.
The boy is meritorious, but he takes it right away. Since returning to the Song Dynasty, the Shenwu Changsheng army has been up and down, trying its best to cope. Although under Xiao Yan's care, he finally came to the present day. But where is it refreshing to compete with many strong enemies in Yandi immediately?
Let's just have a good fight, so that the entire Great Song Dynasty knows that the prestige of the Shenwu Ever-Winning Army is well deserved. Let the entire Great Song Dynasty know that King Yan has such a strong army in his hands, and no one can shake it!
Xiao Yan did his best to preserve and strengthen this strong army, just to fight on the battlefield!
As long as there is victory, no matter how delicate the situation is, no matter how many people have thoughts about Xiao Yan and the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, it will not be a problem. Presumably, the king of Yanjun is in Bianliang, and he is looking forward to it too!
Han Shizhong smiled at Wu Min and said lightly: "But as a military general, to protect the territory and the people, it is my duty to ask for it when I encounter a thief." Shenwu often wins the border of the town, and for many reasons, he had to enter the town of Taiyuan Mansion. If there is an enemy at this moment, how can you not return to the town? There is no need to wait for an order............ If Han is still staying in Taiyuan Mansion and refuses to go north, it will be a sin. As for appeasing the kindness, Han Mou understood it. The court bureau naturally has the king of Yanjun to grasp the situation and appease the town of Taiyuan, but Han is grateful for the news of the DPRK and China in time. If there is something wrong or missing in the middle of the delay, which affects military affairs, I must be appeased and unwilling to see King Yanjun pursue it............ The matter of the back road, please rest assured. ”
Han Shizhong's words were faintly threatening. Now the old north, you sit in Taiyuan. If you want to play some tricks in the rear, you will look good when the time comes!
Wu Min laughed dryly, and arched his hand: "What does Liangchen say, the matter of the back road is all up to the students." Do you still want to draw a cross for a good minister? Bianliang, but what is the news, the students will definitely do their best to inform Yu Liangchen, the military is important, how dare the students ignore it? ”
The semantic demeanor is unexpectedly tame. It seems to be Han Shizhong's subordinate. For Wu Min to be able to do this, and he is still calm, Han Shizhong admires it very much.
In the past, being idle is also idle, Han Shizhong and Jīng God and Wu Min have a while. Now he is full of thoughts about the coming war, and he doesn't want to say anything more. Arched his hand towards Wu Min: "In this case, Han Mou will please go." He rì victorious, and then asked to appease and beg for a cup of victorious wine to eat. ”
Wu Min smiled and replied: "I wish the good minister to go, win the flag, and destroy this dynasty." ”
Han Shizhong laughed, and then saluted towards the civil and military send-off. With a vigorous wave of his hand, the guards who were riding their horses outside suddenly waved their flags. The sound of the trumpets suddenly whined, followed by the thunderous beating of the snare drums.
Thousands of military horses shouted in unison. The leading generals all shouted: "Go!" ”
The torrent of steel suddenly surged in everyone's eyes. The armor is forested, the murderous atmosphere is pervasive, and the banner hunts and hunts, pointing straight to the north!
Dozens of guards, embracing Han Shizhong, rolled up the snow and dust, and galloped towards the army. Ma Jian is male, dozens of blood-red cloaks fluttering and dancing in a piece of silver and white, and no one looks back on the athletes. With such a strong and vigorous military spirit, such a neat and neat army, the civil and military forces on Hedong Road sighed, with this strong army going north, Hedong is worry-free!
Wu Min watched Han Shizhong go away with a smile, and after a while, he rode back on his horse. After saying a few words to the civil and military officers who saw them off, they went back to the city. Lu Cunzhong followed closely behind Wu Min, his face was blue, and he walked for a long time, as if he felt that Han Shizhong could no longer hear him, so he lowered his voice and whispered to Wu Min: "In this war, there will be variables in the DPRK and China!" Appeased, how can you humiliate such a martial artist for a long time? ”
Wu Min looked around, scattered from the distance of people's interest. Only then did he calm his face and whispered, "Why do you say this? ”
Lu Cunzhong said coldly: "Needless to say, the Shenwu Changsheng Army went north to defeat the Jurchens. If the defeat is not to let the Jurchen Tartars penetrate deep into the east of the river, how can the DPRK and China not attack the south? To appease the people living in the east of the river, it is possible to meet the source left and right. Isn't it an opportunity to be appeased? ”
Wu Minshen was colder than the weather around him: "When you are about to fight, how can you expect the defeat of the Great Song Dynasty?" In saving, please do not reply! ”
Lu Cunzhong didn't mean anything about Wu Min's attitude: "Stealing authority from military ministers is a great disaster for the country!" But it is good to ask the Jurchens to go south this time and defeat the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army! If the country is solid, then what is the problem of Jurchen ringworm? ”
Wu Min rode his horse, as if he hadn't heard Lu Cunzhong's words.
Lu Cunzhong is young and vigorous, Wu Min has been up and down for a long time, but what he thinks is not as simple as him.
The Divine Warrior Victorious Army is certainly terrifying. But without Xiao Yan, it was nothing. Who knows what this South Guy will do? Who knows what means he will come up with to deal with the changes caused by the sudden southward movement of the Jurchens?
I have to wait and see............
At this moment, the military situation should have arrived in Bianliang as early as possible. How will it be spread when it comes to the south?
