Chapter 287: Furnishings
"There are hundreds of thousands of iron horsemen in Daliao, and there are countless servant tribes and small countries, if the north and the south really fight each other, Bianliang will naturally not take advantage, but the thoughts of the royal princes and nobles are not here, but in Shangjing. "Tart Ma Changshou was originally a close confidant and servant of Yeluxian, and among the Khitan nobles who had their own thoughts and were ready to move, he was considered upright-hearted, but at this moment he was humiliated, and other relatives and nobles mostly saw jokes. Han Derang thought to himself, if it weren't for the suppression of the imperial relatives and magnates, Yan Yan would definitely not be able to bear this breath, but the magnates thought that they could calm things down, then they were wrong, hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the Southern Dynasty had already been strong, and they were afraid that they would have to go on a northern expedition as soon as the first month of the new year.
Han Derang said in a deep voice: "The Shangjing side ignores our life and death, and we can't sit idly by." Once the Song army captured Taiyuan, Youzhou was likely to be the next target, with only more than 20,000 troops in the city, and the enemy was outnumbered. As the so-called extraordinary time to do extraordinary things, once the Song army began to attack Youzhou, attacking the city on all sides, I am afraid that the defense of the city is too weak, I think Wu Yingying in Lanzhou with military law to govern the people's households is good, from now on, we will start to organize the people of the city Ding Zhuang into a march, ready to carry bows and arrows to the city. ”
In the Southern Dynasty, activities were rampant in the city, and when the military and civilians practiced the law of joint sitting, one person collaborated with the enemy, and the whole family and neighbors were punished. He closed his eyes slightly, revealing a trace of imperceptible compassion, this method of sitting together, I don't know how many people have died, but the matter is in a hurry, and it has to be like this. "Also, when the Southern Dynasty attacked Hedong, there must be burning, killing, and plundering, and the people of the city will be notified of its crimes, so that they can know that guarding Youzhou City is not for the sake of the Great Liao Court, but for the safety of their own families. He paused, looked at Xiao Zhen who had carefully recorded his instructions, asked him to repeat his instructions, lowered his head to think about whether there were any omissions, added a few more sentences, and asked him to go back to write the strategy.
Han Derang pushed open the window, the cold wind filled the entire attic without obstruction, and couldn't help but be refreshed, in early spring and February, the north was still a thousand miles of frozen scene, the Song army chose this time to attack Taiyuan, but also wanted to take advantage of this period of green and yellow time, the Liao cavalry could not be mobilized on a large scale, however, the two dynasties of the north and south of the world, the territory is vast, the national strength is strong, once the war starts, can it be a spring and summer can end? Wu Yingying is still in Bianliang, can't he see that yes, the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State have formed mortal enemies, and there is no time to clone, which is just convenient for him to gallop in the northwest. Thinking of this, Han Derang couldn't help but show a smile at the corner of his mouth, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, at the moment, Wu Heroes are not full-fledged, and Liao and Song still need to contain each other, and after that, Da Liao will use troops in the northeast, can he also use him to contain the Great Song Forbidden Army? This game of chess in the world is really getting more and more interesting, he slowly raised his hand and drank the bright red grape wine in the cup. In the fourth year of the Taiping rejuvenation of the Northern Song Dynasty, just out of the first month, in a triumphant song, Zhao Jiong personally led 100,000 elite forbidden troops to leave Bianliang and personally conquer Taiyuan. Wu Yingying and the elite of the three hundred Anxi conscripted. For the Anxi army, who were accustomed to trekking, this march was as easy as a hiking outing.
In February, the main force of the forbidden army arrived in Lanzhou from Kaifeng, crossed the Yellow River to the Daimyofu, turned west to march to Zhaozhou, this march was the largest event after Zhao Jiong's accession to the throne, in order to ensure the supply of military food, before the departure of the imperial camp, the special levy and distribution of Caozhou, Shanzhou, Huazhou and other eleven military states and Jingzhao, Henan, and the Daimyo Mansion hoarded grain and grass along the way, and the generals went out to fight, and the military department was completely different from the days when the grain and grass were calculated and eaten. The people who passed through the villages, regardless of whether they harassed the people or not, the official imperial camp always had to send a large amount of rewards, since the expedition, the silver money was scattered like flowing water, in exchange, it was the people along the way to the court's official praise, 100,000 teachers out and the people along the way were not displaced, since the late Tang Dynasty, it was the first time.
During the march, the command of the 30,000 elites of the imperial camp was actually in the hands of Gao Qiong, the direct commander of the imperial dragon who was directly under Zhao Jiong's orders, and Wu Yingying and Zhang Mei, Liu Yanrang and other senior generals were around the official house, which was just an ornament. The three hundred guards of the Anxi army marched together with the front of the palace, Zhang Zhongyao looked left and right when marching, only to feel that the surrounding soldiers were all brave and fierce, and could not help but secretly admire, if the Bianliang forbidden army is a collection of the world's elite, the front of the palace is the essence of the forbidden army. The banner of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing in the front of the palace class is like the soldiers of the front class with a sense of pride.
"Captain Zhang, don't look at the front of the palace, if you really start a battle and see blood, you may not be the opponent of our Anxi military Han. Seeing that Zhang Zhongyao seemed to have appreciation, Zhu Dao, the centurion of the Tooth Army, said with jealousy, his words seemed a little insincere, on martial arts, the front class of the palace is a selection of hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops, and there are masters of professors, on physical strength, not to mention, on courage and courage to fight, than the border army is not more worried, the armor is strong, the blade is sharp, the Anxi army relies on, but the top and bottom are united, and the blood is just a mouthful.
Zhang Zhongyao looked at Zhu Dao's unconvinced face, looking around at the soldiers of the Ya military camp, these elites selected from the Anxi army, walking in the middle of the front of the palace, actually had some suppressed emotions, he smiled, and said in a deep voice: "The soldiers of the front division of the palace are just working hard for the officials, and the rewards are given from above, the generals take the big heads, and the soldiers and men divide some leftover soup and water, and take the city, but they just plunder, and if they win, they will swarm, and if they lose, they will be scattered." Wu Anxi brothers, up to the lord, down to the sergeant, are one, fight for themselves, fair distribution, up and down with one heart, if they fight to the end, no matter whether he is in front of the palace or the Liao Emperor's imperial camp, they are not afraid of it. ”
"Exactly!" the lieutenant had a point. With Zhang Zhongyao's words, there was a chorus in the Ya military camp, and after holding back for a long time in the imperial camp of the Great Song Dynasty, the sergeants of the Anxi Army Ya military camp were more aware of the difference between themselves and the surrounding forbidden army, this is not a problem of the faction of the feudal town, but under the influence of Wu Yingying in the various systems implemented in the Anxi army, between the sergeants of the Anxi army and the soldiers of the forbidden army, there are completely two different styles, the officers of the forbidden army regard the Anxi army as a feudal town soldier who is no different from the bandits, and the Anxi army regards the forbidden army as a self-Han who sells his life to the court for money.
At a time when the Anxi military camp was throwing a provocative gaze at the surrounding palace front class, Wu Yingying was riding horses and sanitation around Zhao Jiong with a group of noble generals. Although he has studied literature since childhood, the art of riding and archery has not been abandoned, it should be said that the genetics of the old Zhao family are still biased towards military generals. At this moment, Zhao Jiong was dressed in a military uniform, and his slightly light fish scale armor was covered with a yellow robe, although it could not play the role of completely defending against arrows, but it lined the originally black and fat Zhao Jiong much more heroic.
The name of the war horse under the crotch of the official family is Biyunxia, it is a good horse for thousands of miles, it is given by the Imperial Secretary of Fuzhou, it is not very high, there are blue lines such as clouds next to the mouth, it is the meaning of the cloud from the dragon. Zhao Jiong has been studying both civil and military since he was a child, and he admires the Fengyi of his predecessor Ban Chao, who has since fought in the south and the north, and has won the world with a stick, and he is even more envious in his heart. From time to time, I look left and right, and I am high-spirited and pointing out the country. Gao Qiong, the direct commander of the royal dragon and Wang Chao, the deputy envoy Wang Chao, who were promoted in the palace of the king of Jin, and Fu Qian, the commander of the east and west classes in front of the palace, surrounded the official family all day long, taking the opportunity to be courteous. Gao Qiong, who originally had the responsibility of commanding the imperial camp, actually ignored most of the things that were in order to organize the marching army, and accompanied the official family all day long.
