Chapter 229: Commander of the North Road

The outside world first passed on Qin Guan to be the god of war in the world, and then became a star to descend to earth, and also said that he knew the immortal law, no matter what, when people heard about this big victory, they finally had some confidence in Zhao Guo's self-preservation.

And Qin Guan, at this time, also left a great reputation in the hearts of the people of the whole country.

Qin Guan is still continuing to recruit troops, Dayuan City originally had 70,000 or 80,000 residents, but due to the invasion of the Liao army, a large number of people poured into the city, and now there are 200,000 people in Dayuan City, so many people, management is a big problem.

Qin Guan recruited troops, and the officials of Dayuan City were naturally very supportive, coupled with the orders of the governor Yamen, they did it very hard.

In less than three days, Qin Guan re-recruited 10,000 new soldiers.

The new recruits were added to the veterans, and just outside Ohara Castle, the second-class general Xiong Daxiong trained them.

Qin Guan was standing on a mound of earth, looking at the soldiers training on the plain, thinking about what to do next, at this moment, Li Xuanxing rushed over, and when Qin Guan approached, he said a little out of breath: "Congratulations to Lord Qin, Lord Qin has been promoted again." ”

Before Qin Guan could speak, Xiong Er next to him said excitedly, "What official has the young master promoted again?" ”

Li Xuan said: "Crowning the bachelor of the Guanwen Palace, giving Qin Guan Yong'an, and the rank of general protecting the country, all of them are the titles of the third grade, and Lord Qin has been promoted to three levels in less than a month, I really don't know how many people are envious." ”

Qin Guan was naturally very happy about the promotion, and thought about these official titles and rewards.

Bachelor of Guanwen Palace, this is a fictitious title, it is a kind of beautiful position, no position, only in and out of the attendant to prepare the consultant, showing respect. Similar to a certain scholar in later generations, a member of a certain expert group, and a certain economic consultant.

Yong'an Hou, this is better understood, adding an official to the knighthood, this is the title, it is purely a status symbol, this Hou Ye of Qin Guan is not an ordinary Hou Ye, it should be regarded as the founding Hou, the biggest kind after the Hou Ye, this time the emperor is indeed very generous.

As for the rank of protector general, a big character is added in the middle, which is naturally one level larger than the previous protector general, and on the top, there is also a protector general.

Xiong Er hurriedly congratulated: "Congratulations young master, you will be the Hou Ye in the future." ”

Qin Guan is naturally happy about the promotion, but there are many things in front of him, and besides, these titles are all added, and his main job is still the prefect of Xiongzhou.

The recruitment of soldiers continued, Qin Guan planned to recruit at least 30,000 soldiers, even if he had guns, but in the face of the other party's hundreds of thousands of cavalry, he did not dare to rashly take 20,000 people to fight.

Five days passed, and Qin Guan was about to say to Governor Duan Zhongqiu that he would lead his troops back to Xiongzhou, but at this moment, a major news came that Li Jilong was defeated.

Li Jilong is the emperor's personal commander of the border army, and he held all the border troops hostage during the war, including the army of Qinguan, and recently, Li Jilong gathered about 150,000 border troops and stationed them near Xiangzhou, blocking the front of the 150,000 army of Xiao Chucai, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

Li Jilong also has some talent, he is not in a hurry to fight a decisive battle with the Liao army, and is ready to stabilize his position and then plot other things.

Qin Guan thought that with Li Jilong's steadiness, he would stalemate with Xiao Chucai for a long time, but he didn't expect that the other party's plan to lead the enemy in a series of ways, Li Jilong fell into Xiao Chucai's trap, and finally rushed to fight.

Looking at the map, Qin Guan frowned.

He found that from this moment on, there seemed to be no relatively large corps north of the Yellow River except for himself.

And there is no unified command, counting on Li Jilong, who is thousands of miles away, where can he take care of it.

And the more shocking news is still to come, Xixia saw that Zhao Guo was now in danger, and he was also a little impatient, and wanted to take the opportunity to tear off a piece of meat on the Great Zhao State, Xixia gathered 40,000 soldiers and horses, and had arrived at the front line of Qingzhou Lanzhou, and the border army was in a hurry.

The news of the change in Western Xia naturally spread to the court of the Great Zhao State, and the emperor was very anxious and finally made a decision.

"Feng, Qin Guan is the commander of the North Route Army, and he has jurisdiction over the border armies of Hexi Road, Hebei West Road, and Yongxing Road, resisting foreign insults and killing the enemy bravely."

After Qin Guan got this promotion order, his first reaction in his heart was, 'I was promoted again'.

After putting the promotion order away, Qin Guan opened the latest battle report and read it,

Now Yelu Chongxin's advance has also slowed down, and Cao Bin, the commander of the forbidden army appointed by the emperor himself, led 300,000 forbidden troops to set up a position in Yangzhou.

Originally, the military department planned to block the enemy in the Yangtze River, but Yangzhou is an important economic center of Zhao, if Yangzhou is broken, even if it is recaptured in the future, the loss of Zhao is incalculable, so the battle line was redeployed, and Cao Bin confronted Yelu Chongxin's army in Yangzhou.

In the middle, Li Jilong retreated to Zhengzhou in defeat, 150,000 died 670,000, and finally relied on the advantages of Zhengzhou's national grain, grass and material transit station, quickly replenished 780,000 recruits, and transferred soldiers from other state capitals and counties to gather 200,000 and continue to confront Xiao Chucai, the king of the Southern Courtyard.

As for the north, it is Qinguan.

He now has only 40,000 soldiers in his hands, and most of them are new recruits, and he has no combat experience at all, let alone fighting with cavalry, even if he fights with bandits, he may be scattered by others.

What he needs to face now is what is coming, a possible battle with the Western Xia army.

In fact, now in the direction of Qingzhou, there are also stationed Tuncheng soldiers, such as the Qinglan army, but their number is only more than 10,000 people, and most of them are foot soldiers, the combat effectiveness of the Western Xia soldiers is not worse than that of Liao, and the Qinglan army will definitely not be able to stop it.

The order given to Qin Guan by the Ministry of War was to hold the Qinglan line, and now it is very difficult to deal with the Liao people in China, and the Western Xia people must not be allowed to come over again.

Qin Guan dropped his pen and muttered: "If the Liao State is a tiger, the Western Xia is at most a wolf, the Liao State has the intention of annexing the Zhao State, and the Western Xia, they are looking at the opportunity and want to bite off a piece of meat from the Great Zhao State." ”

"You can't entangle with him, that will completely drag your footsteps to death, Qin Guan decided to fight a battle, beat the Western Xia people hard, hurt and feared, beat him to cry his father and call his mother, and he didn't dare to have a little thought in the future."

"If you dare to covet the land of Zhao and take advantage of it, you must have the consciousness of being stewed directly."

Qin Guan called Xiong Da and ordered: "Organize the army immediately, let Dayuan City organize materials, and set off for Qinglan tomorrow for breakfast." ”

"Yes, young master."

Xiong Da's actions were very fast, and for Qin Guan's request, Dayuan Mansion is now fully supportive, and he will prepare what Qin Guan needs overnight.

On the second day, Qin Guan led the Northern Route Army to set off on the Qinglan front.

Yes, the full name of this army in Qin Guan's hands now is called the Northern Route Army.

After three days of arduous trekking, the team arrived near the Qinglan army, and asked Qin Guan to inform the commander of the Qinglan army to come to discuss the military situation.
