Chapter 587: Preparation for the Northern Expedition (400 Monthly Pass Plus Update)

"Official, the enemy army has collapsed, and now is a good opportunity for the whole army to pursue. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info "The privy envoy Sun Fu's heart was stirred, these few days are probably the most comfortable period of time for the privy envoy since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, right?" Seeing that Guo Yaoshi and Liu Yanzong had been defeated by Li You, he couldn't help but want to continue to expand the results.

"It's a pity that there are no cavalry in the city anymore." Zhang Shuye was more calm than Sun Fu, although he had the same idea, but he had not been carried away by such a big victory, knowing that there were only some foot soldiers left in Bianliang City, it was okay for them to defend the city, but it was completely impossible to go out of the city and fight with the enemy, not to mention whether they could win or not, they could not catch up with the enemy with their foot strength alone.

This is all because the Great Song Dynasty lost the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zhao Huan and Sun Fu and others lamented in unison, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there was no way to establish a strong cavalry because of the lack of horse-producing land, which led to the fact that although the Great Song Dynasty had a high victory rate in foreign wars, it was never able to cause fatal losses to the enemy.

Whether it was in the face of the Western Xia's Bubazi, the Iron Harrier or the Liao State's palace army, and even Jiaozhi and Tubo, the infantry army of the Great Song Dynasty could often win the victory and defeat the enemy, but because there was no cavalry, they could not expand the victory, and the enemy army left a few corpses and fled in a hurry, which could still retain most of its strength and rarely break its muscles and bones; On the other hand, in the Great Song Dynasty, as long as the army formation was broken and defeated, it would suffer huge losses every time under the pursuit of the enemy's iron cavalry, which was also an important reason for the fear of war in the Great Song Dynasty.

But now it is a little different, the army brought by Li You already has a lot of elite cavalry, plus the elite selected from the forbidden army, the number of cavalry has exceeded 10,000, even if there is no way to start a cavalry duel with the enemy, but it is more than enough to pursue after the car formation has worn down the enemy's sharpness.

"In any case, this victory is decided, and I am afraid that the victory is also counted since the founding of the country." Even though Zhao Huan was quite unwilling in his heart, he could only comfort the ministers, he had made considerable progress watching the battle in the city these days, and he was no longer the cowardly man who could only tremble under the coercion of the Jin soldiers.

"Prepare the wine and meat of the three armies, and when the army returns, I will personally accompany them to drink." Zhao Huan immediately issued an order, "The manpower to check the head and verify the merits is also ready, don't let the soldiers chill." "He now knows how to buy people's hearts, just like Li You said, sooner or later, the heavenly soldiers will have to leave, and the task of defending the Great Song Dynasty still has to be completed by the forbidden army, so this army must be made to feel the emperor's grace.

"The ministers obey." The ministers all responded in unison, and even if one or two ministers felt that something seemed inappropriate, they could only keep their mouths shut at this time.

"Official, after the victory in this battle, the back road of the Jin soldiers has been greatly messed up by Guo Shenxian, and then Guo Shenxian is afraid that he will continue to pursue Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonghan and them, we need to prepare grain and grass, chariots and horses, medicines, ordnance, guides, etc. for Guo Shenxian to go north." After Li You's time, Uncle Zhang's understanding of the war was far better than before, and he knew that Li You was not willing to withdraw his troops no matter what, and now was the best time to defeat Jin Bing.

"Now the remaining Western Army has also arrived near Bianliang." Uncle Zhang took a deep breath and continued, due to the effect of King Qin's order, the world's troops have poured to Bianliang, and the city has gradually restored contact with the outside world, "Although the Western Army has suffered heavy casualties before, the preserved army is still far superior to the forbidden army, and there are still many cavalry in the Western Army, so you can follow Guo Shenxian to continue to crusade north against the Jin soldiers, and after they return, my Great Song Dynasty will have another strong army." ”

"The official family had a lot of favors for the Taiwei brothers before, and Guo Shenxian successively killed Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Zongbi and other Jin soldier generals, and sacrificed to the Taiwei Ling, presumably it is not difficult to recover the Western Army." Sun Fu also interjected, although he is not familiar with warfare, he has a deep knowledge of people's hearts.

Everyone nodded again and again when they heard this, although the Western Army was capable of fighting, it was far away from the heavenly soldiers summoned by Guo Shenxian, coupled with the kindness to the respected generals of the Western Army such as the Seed Master Dao, as well as the new measures with clear rewards and punishments, these Western Army had no reason to refuse the edict of the Great Song Dynasty.

"The army has worked hard from afar, I'm afraid I haven't brought much grain and grass, and now there are still some savings in Bianliang City, and when they arrive, they will be treated with grain and grass by the city, and in addition, in order to reward these loyal soldiers for the country, they must also prepare a reward." Zhao Huan now also understands the truth that since these people are allowed to work for the Great Song Dynasty, they can't be starved, "In addition, when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, the people around Bianliang suffered repeatedly, and they couldn't let a few black sheep make matters worse; Manager Zhang, you have selected a group of capable personnel from the Banzhi guards and the forbidden army to form a military law team and restrain them, but those who dare to harass the people will not be spared. ”

This is also what Li You told Zhao Huan privately earlier, and now the wealthy families in Bianliang City have donated the food they have saved at home because of the miracles shown by Li You, and they don't have to worry about food in a short period of time, which is enough to support these Qinwang troops who came by order.

"The minister commands." Zhang Shuye happily accepted the order, he was not only responsible for restraining these Qinwang troops, but also selected the brave warriors from these people to reorganize them to join Li You's army to the north, and the remaining soldiers will also be diverted again, those who can meet the standards will be incorporated into the forbidden army for strict training, and the remaining old, weak, sick and disabled will also be repatriated to their hometowns after a passage fee and reward.

All this Li You had already been arranged before, after Zhao Huan's permission, the civil and military officials in the city immediately got busy, and began to prepare for the north without waiting for Li You's army to return to the city, a cart of grain was transported out of the city, and a carriage was sent outside the city gate, and the forbidden army in the city also began to occupy the Jin Bing camp outside the city, and transformed it to accommodate the Qinwang army coming from all directions.

Uncle Zhang's cronies also rushed to the locations of Qin Wangjun's troops everywhere, and they must muster enough manpower for Li You to go north in the shortest possible time.

It's just that Zhao Huan and the others are still a little worried, now Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan have led the main force of the Jin soldiers to return north for a while, and after defeating Guo Yaoshi this time, the army will definitely have to rest for a few days, so when Guo Shenxian leads the army to start chasing, can they still catch up with those Jin soldiers who have already begun to flee? (To be continued.) )
