Who is Wang Jun? Guo Wei's sworn brother, the greatest hero of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the current important minister of the Great Zhou Dynasty under one person and above 10,000 people.

It stands to reason that Wang Jun will lead the army to the north, and there should be no problem in terms of prestige and ability.

For official business, Guo Wei not only gave Wang Jun, the sworn brother who was two years older, the right to act cheaply, but also let him choose all the military needs, and let him choose the officials. For his personal life, he was given an unconventional royal horse, a jade belt and a large number of valuable treasures, and finally held a banquet in person, and personally went to Tokyo West City on the morning of the 7th to see him off, shaking hands and saying goodbye.

In the face of all these honors, Wang Jun also looked like he was swearing and burning with passion, but what no one expected was that as soon as Wang Jun left Tokyo City, he immediately changed.

On October 7, Wang Jun's troops hurriedly traveled 80 miles west to Zhengzhou, and Wang Jun only said one sentence at the military meeting in the evening: "The march must not be higher than 50 miles every day!" Camping every night must comply with the "Guarding the Military Law", dare to violate, the light one will be whipped in public, and the heavy one will be beheaded! Then he turned and walked away.

"The Law of War" is a military book written by Li Jing, a famous military strategist in the Tang Dynasty. Li Jing is proficient in the art of war, Rong Ma all his life, once accompanied Tang Gaozu and Tang Taizong to fight in the south and north, completely annihilated the Eastern Turks, conquered Tuyuhun, and made great achievements, and was named the Duke of Weiguo, known as Li Weigong. When Tang Gaozu Li Yuan praised Li Jing, he once said, "How can the famous generals of ancient times be Han (Xin), Bai (Qi), Wei (Qing), and Huo (to get sick)." According to records, Li Jing once wrote books such as "Li Weigong Looks at the South of the Yangtze River", "The Mirror of the Six Armies", "The Book of the Jade Tent", "The Heart of the Soldiers", "The New Book of Bingling", "Li Weigong Asks the Right", "The Law of War" and other books, and only "Li Weigong Asks the Right" and "The Law of the Guard".

The generals were stunned.

The soldiers are in a hurry, there are still 500 miles to Jinzhou, 50 miles a day, wouldn't it take 10 days to rush to the scene?

Besides, according to the requirements of the "Guards and Soldiers Law", temporary wooden walls must be erected around the barracks at night. We must cut two rows of tree trunks every day, one row long and one row short, bury half of the trunk into the soil after scorching the bottom, the long trunks are arranged in a tight row outside, and the short trunks are arranged in a sparse row inside, and then a wooden plank is erected between the two rows of trunks, divided into upper and lower layers, so that the part of the long trunk becomes a parapet, the upper layer of the plank can allow soldiers to patrol and sentry, and the lower layer can store defensive weapons and let soldiers rest. In addition, drainage ditches were to be dug around the tents and between the camps, and the soldiers' tents were to face each other. After encampment, soldiers were strictly forbidden to move around the barracks inside and outside the camps.

This, we are all marching in the hinterland of the Great Zhou now, is it necessary?

However, although the generals had doubts, none of them dared to come forward to doubt.

Wang Jun, who was already a little impatient, is now becoming more and more arrogant, and even Guo Wei is a little disrespectful. He has always taken the world as his own responsibility, everything has to be done according to his wishes, if Guo Wei obeys him, he will leave happily, if he does not agree, he will immediately be full of anger, and even unclean foul words will come out. Such a person who dares to be rude to the saint, will a group of generals dare to question him face to face?

In this way, 25,000 of the most elite Great Zhou forbidden army marched forward like ants, and arrived in Luoyang, Xijing, two days later.

At this time, Yao Yuanfu, who was posthumously appointed as the envoy of the northwest capital by a holy decree, ran all the way, led the army to kill Shaanzhou (now Sanmenxia, Henan), crossed the Yellow River, and stationed in Jiezhou (now Yuncheng, Shanxi).

The 5,000 people almost became the lone soldier in Hanoi! Yao Yuanfu hurriedly stopped his advance, and while sending more people to reconnoiter in the direction of Jinju in the north, he urgently sent people to the rear army and the Jingshi to ask what was going on?

However, at this time, the situation in Jinju was not as critical as imagined. The 20,000 Northern Han troops attacked for several days, but they couldn't take Jinju City, which was already a ruined city.

Han Lingkun, who garrisoned Jinzhou, returned the other way to the other, basically copied the strategy of the Northern Han Dynasty to defend the city of Jinzhou in the past, the ditch was cleared under the city, the wall was built, and the wet planks on the head of the city were upturned outward, although the Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong personally commanded the army to attack the eastern city continuously, he only conquered a few trenches, and he couldn't take it at all.

As for the Khitan army that came to help, they casually set up their tents to a mile north of the Northern Han military camp, and Xiao Yuju, the envoy of Zhangguo Jiedu, refused to send troops to attack the city very simply, we are all cavalry, and we are not suitable for this kind of thing at all, we will fight for you. As a result, a large part of the 50,000 cavalry went to the distance under the city every day to stand on a stake, set up a position, or go to the nearby villages and towns to fight the autumn wind, and the eggs were so idle.

On October 9th, Xiao Yuju came to Liu Chong, and bluntly said that the grain and grass they brought from Taiyuan Mansion was not enough, and Jinzhou City was very difficult.

At this moment, Liu Chong was not happy.

Everyone agreed before going south, this operation mainly attacked Jinzhou City, and then used the mobility ability of the Liao cavalry to create an opportunity to annihilate the Zhou army, and now you suddenly asked to turn to the west, obviously because you don't want to gnaw hard bones, you want to go to the west to grab food, money and people!

Liu Chong immediately objected: "Xiao Xiang, most of the three places in Cixijiang are mountain roads, which are not conducive to cavalry attacks, and the local area has been extremely poor after repeated wars, and it is impossible to support the army to fight for a long time. ”

Liu Chengjun, who urgently rushed to the army to recruit the Northern Han Dynasty, also came over to object: "Lord Xiao Xiang is good, and I also think that it is best to put troops around Jinzhou. "He led the army to fight in Jinzhou and Sanzhou in a row, and now he has the help of Shouzhou and Lin Feng, and he has already regarded Sanzhou as the bag of the Northern Han Dynasty, how can he allow these barbarians to go there and make trouble?

Xiao Yuju's eyes widened, he slapped his head with his hand, and shouted: "I can't take a Jinzhou city, what else can I talk about?" Zezhou, Jiezhou, Huaizhou, and Luzhou are all big cities, and they all have heavy troops, you tell me, how to capture them?! ”

These big cities around Jinju have all received Guo Wei's holy decree, and no one is allowed to attack without authorization, so they will naturally go all out to defend, and they are easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Zhu Feng, who had been silent beside him, spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I think we should create a false momentum and find a way to annihilate the vanguard of Xiao Zhou's reinforcements!" "Zhufeng is in charge of the vast area east of Luliang Mountain, naturally he has reconnoitred the situation nearby, and yesterday there was already a brother reconnaissance report, the forward of the Northern Five Thousand reinforcements has arrived in Jiezhou, and the vanguard officer is their old acquaintance, the former defense envoy of Chenzhou, Yao Yuanfu. In addition, in the bones of Zhufeng, it has long been determined that the future of Ci Xijiang Sanzhou will be Shouzhou, and it will be Lin Fenglin's, and now the land division of local tyrants in various places is in full swing in secret, and these barbarians cannot be allowed to enter at a critical moment.

"Which onion are you?" Xiao Yuju glared angrily at the young man he didn't know.

Liu Chengjun hurriedly introduced Zhufeng to Xiao Yuju.

"You are Lord Lin Fenglin's subordinate? That should have two brushes! Have you been to our Daliao? Xiao Yuju circled around the winds and asked curiously.

"I've been there, but I've been to the Liaohe estuary with Master Lin, but I've never been to Nanjing." Zhu Feng smiled, ignoring Xiao Yuju beside him at all, and his body did not move.

"Well, it's a man! Tell us what you think? Xiao Yuju slapped Zhufeng and roared.

"That's what I think......" Zhu Feng lowered his voice and approached the three big guys.
