Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ready

I went out on a long trip, and I can only get out of this when I come back, I'm sorry!

Anyway, the next day the prince ordered the lifting of the ban on the two of them, and they could enter and leave the city lord's mansion freely, and authorized Ah Shu to secretly select clansmen from among the Jurchens who had been captured in several battles to form a pro-guard army, and receive training in guerrilla warfare and intelligence gathering and counter-terrorism skills, of course, their activities will be provided by the prince.

After Yelu Yu regained his freedom, he also changed his pessimistic mood in the past, glowed with the brilliance of youth, and actively devoted himself to the cause of resisting Jin and supporting Liao, contacting the old ministry and plotting against the old ministers of the Liao State who had reduced Jin. Yelu Yu is generous and righteous, and was once named the general of Jin Wuwei, the official residence of the East Road Capital, and his reputation among the Liao people has always been good, and his appeal is of course far better than Qiao Kun and others.

Since Yelu Yu issued a summoning order, there were constantly tribes to vote, and there were as many as 5,000 tents in a few days, Zhao Ta assigned all the Khitan tribes who came to vote to him, let him rebuild his own tribe, and allowed him to transfer 3,000 strong as his own tribal army to enter Liangcheng, Dezhou, as his territory.

……

At this time, there is only one old brother Zhao Ta left in the mansion of the city lord of Texas, and he still can't be idle, so he sneaks out of the mansion without anything to do, plays a private interview with Weifu, goes deep into the people and the army to understand the situation, and summarizes experience.

In the past, Zhao Ta regarded the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty as his own test and carried out a series of reforms, but after all, not all of them had the final say, and they had to respect the unspoken rules of officialdom. Texas is different, this is his world, although few people know the boss behind the scenes. In Texas, Zhao Ta can let go of his hands and feet and toss by his own temperament. Put your ideas into practice.

Heading into June, the situation in Texas has improved dramatically. The seedlings planted in the fields will grow and grow, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters in the next few months. It's going to be a good year. On the pasture, thousands of horses are galloping, sheep are everywhere, and the people's hearts have been decided; And those captured Jin troops, Zhao Ta did not raise them in vain, organized him into two labor brigades, let them build walled cities in the two dangerous mountain passes in Dezhou, repair roads, successively built five forts and six villages, and built a beacon tower every ten miles. A complete early warning and defense system has been formed. At this time, the Kryu army had also completed its training, and all units were fully equipped with high morale, and they could be pulled into the battlefield at any time. The three newly formed garrison brigades have also been formed several times, and they can take over the garrison tasks of Texas from the Krupp Army.

Since the establishment of the Loyal and Brave Army, Zhao Ta has brought the PLA's style of military democracy into his own troops, and although everyone has different classes, everyone eats and dresses basically, and the relationship between officers and soldiers is harmonious. Problems arose and were resolved through discussion at all levels, which greatly increased the cohesion of the troops, and the officers naturally brought this tradition with them after the formation of the Krüpts.

'The world does not suffer from impossibility, but there is no way to do it'. At the same time, it brought with it harsh military discipline. Rewards and punishments are clear, military orders are unified, and the relationship between the top and bottom of the army is clear. Each in battle has its own role. Whether in peacetime or wartime, officers and men act in accordance with military discipline and military law. Without the slightest sloppiness, whoever it is. As long as military discipline is violated, they will be punished, and they will not be tolerated or accommodated.

Just when Zhao Tan was trying his best every day to tinker with the crumbling edifice of the Great Song Dynasty, trying to make it barely stand for another hundred and eighty years, the Intelligence Department sent the latest battle report from Hebei, led by his father, Tong Guan, Cai You, Wang Hao and others as accomplices, but the corner of the Great Song Dynasty was dug up again...

In May, in the midst of frenzy and controversy, the coach Tong Guan and the deputy marshal Cai You embarked on the journey of the Liao invasion with the emperor's imperial pen and Pingyan Sance, but there were many bad omen from the day they left the division. First of all, when the oath was taken, the old angel recruited Changhong Guanri, the 'sword wind' was dignified, and Tong Guan's handsome flag was touched into two sections; the next day of the march, Cai You didn't know how Lu Dao offended his flag officer, and the kid abducted his Xuanfu deputy envoy and Shao Bao in his arms.

The two marshals do not believe in evil, are not afraid of the sky, and lead the army to the front line of Xiongzhou, an important town in Sanguan, with a fearless spirit, the two of them turned around on the front line, here for a hundred years do not know how to fight, the garrison is arrogant, and the preparation for war is lax, and even the Tangbo defense line built to stop the cavalry of the Liao Dynasty has also dried up the water source, and the embankment is broken, and there is no intention to fight with the Liao State at all.

Entering the city and gaining a foothold was not stable, the house collapsed with a 'hula', and there was an earthquake in Xiongzhou, and what was even more strange was that the king eight were rampant in the hall of the Shuai Mansion, and the long insects were running around. This is enough to make people feel unlucky, but when they opened the armor warehouse, the people were a little stupid, and found that under the bite of insects and rats, the soldiers were completely destroyed and could not be used, and the grain in the warehouse was even more old grain that had been put in the warehouse for many years, and it was peeled and ground into rice, and less than half was left!

But at this time, it was already ready to be sent, Tong Guan sent an envoy to Nanjing to persuade him to surrender, but was killed by Ye Luchun in disregard of international diplomatic etiquette. The Song army immediately posted a yellow list again, publicizing the meaning of the Great Song Dynasty to hang the people and fight the crime, but they didn't know the truth of this time and that time, a hundred years later, the Han people had already died to the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty and became obedient people of the Liao State, of course, there would be no grand scene of them eating pot pulp to welcome the 'Wang Shi' in their dreams...

Tong Guan saw that the soft one could not work, so he could only come to the hard one, waved the army to Gaoyang Pass, and ordered the capital to lead the East Route Army to attack Baigou, and the Xin Xingzong Marshal West Route Army to attack Fan Village. At that time, Yanjing City was almost an empty city, and only the 10,000 refugees recruited by Yelu Dashi were assembled into an army, commanded by Xi Gan.

But such a rabble broke out with amazing combat power. Yang Keshi, the former commander of the army, was defeated by the Liao army first in Landiangou and then in Baigou, Xin Xingzong was also defeated in Fancun, and Tong Guan was shocked and ordered to withdraw his troops from Xiongzhou. The result of the rout of the whole army is not difficult to imagine, in the panic was taken advantage of by the Liao army, fierce battle under the city, heavy losses, from the south of Xiongzhou, the north of Mozhou, between Tangbo, and the west of Xiongzhou, Zhending, the dead corpse pillow, invincible!

The Western Army, which once had strong combat effectiveness and was known as the First Army of the Great Song Dynasty, was repaired by the remnants of the Liao Army, and outside Yanjing City, blood flowed like a river. When Zhao Ji heard of the defeat, his attitude immediately changed, from contempt to fear, and he urgently summoned the army to return to the division...

Zhao Ta is not surprised by this ending, he already knows that he has done his best, but he still can't change this cruel ending. Pity those veterans of the Western Army who have survived a hundred battles can not die in vain, and can only hope that his father can wake up, Tong Guan can accept the lesson, and stop using soldiers without authorization.
