Chapter 140: A Different Army (1)

Now the command posts of Gao Zhong and Wang Yan have long been moved to Junzhou. The main forces of the troops were also moved to Junju.

Junzhou was called the Wudang Army at that time, and it was adjacent to the Guanghua Army. At present, most of the county seat of Junzhou has sunk into the water, and the county seat has been moved to Shatuo Town in the east of the Hanjiang River, which is now Danjiangkou City. It is 40 kilometers away from the original county seat.

The Guanghua Army is now Laohekou, Yincheng County in the Tang Dynasty, and Qiande County in the Song Dynasty. At this time, the army had been occupied by Li Cheng. Li became the Song army defending Junzhou, and built a military camp in Shatuo, where the current Danjiangkou City is located, with 300 soldiers in the city, the purpose of this point is of course not to prevent the attack of the Great Song army, but only a border post, mainly responsible for guarding.

To the southwest of Qiande City is Gucheng, separated by a Han River, Qiande City is in the northeast of Hanshui, and Gucheng is in the southwest of Hanshui, and the two cities are only less than 20 kilometers apart.

Those who received the battle order for the Jingxiang Campaign, in addition to Han Shizhong's troops in Jiangning and Liu Guangshi's troops in Chizhou, Wang Xie, the commander of the Hanyang Army of Jingnan Prefecture, Yue Etan, Dingli, Huangzhou, and the Shenwu Rear Army, Yue Fei, the commander of Shuqi Prefecture on the West Road of Jiangnan, and Wang Yan, the newly appointed commander of the left army of the Imperial Front Army, were in charge of Jinzhou, Fang, and Junzhou, and Wang Yan, the newly appointed commander of the left army of the Imperial Front Ma Army. The new deputy commander of the Imperial Horse Army, who also led the defense envoys of Jin, Jun, and Fang, also received relevant orders.

In addition to Zhao Gou's eunuchs, Dai Bin, a Lang official of the Privy Council, and Yang Cunzhong, who commanded Yang Cunzhong, also painted an adjutant, that is, his long history Tian Sizhong. Gao Chong admired their bravery, and in order to arrive within the specified time, they passed through Li Cheng's defense area, and ran through Xinyang, Xinye, and Dengzhou to reach Junzhou.

In addition to conveying the battle orders of the Jingxiang Campaign, the imperial court also had a task to confirm the authenticity of Wang Yan's compromise on Gao Yan and military strength, if everything said is true, then announce the new appointment of Wang Yan and Gao Zhong on the spot, if what is said is false, it will be dealt with according to different circumstances, and this holy decree has a backup, which is also rare.

If Wang Yan and Gao Chong do not have the strength that people say, it is very likely to have a great impact on the battle, so the imperial court is still conservative at this point, and there are not many tasks for Gao Chong. It was only to attack the Guanghua Army, disperse and contain Li Cheng's army, and reduce the offensive pressure of Yue Fei's army.

This time, the leader of the team is Dai Bin, the Privy Councillor. Dai Bin didn't expect to see Wang Yan and Gao Zhong, the governors of Jin, Fang, and Junzhou in Junzhou. He and Wang Yan met three years ago, so they knew each other, but a descendant next to Wang Yan, there were only a few ungrown milk hairs at the corners of his mouth, and he was disappointed in the high favor in the image, but he was just a hairy young man, how much could he be? The emperor immediately promoted him to the official position of a senior commander under the fifth rank? I didn't think so, and when I heard Gao Pet report to his home, he asked quietly:

"You're a pet?"

"Back to my lord, it's a humble position!" Gao Zhong replied respectfully.

"I heard that you brought back a lot of people from the desert, can you take me to meet them?" Although the inventory was very strict after entering the territory of Junzhou along the way, the garrison of Junzhou was different from what he usually saw, he just thought that Wang Yan had made a new trick, and he didn't care. Seeing such a young person, he didn't want to believe how much could be accomplished. So I can't wait to verify that what Wang Yan played is not true.

Wang Yan, who was on the side, heard this Qin Messenger Dai Bin, and wanted to inspect the military camp before he could stay, and suggested:

"Lord Dai, you have traveled a long way and worked hard all the way, do you want to stay and rest for one night before patrolling this barracks?"

"Lord Wang, doing things for the official family should be the first thing for the official family, we have traveled thousands of miles and don't care about this moment, let's take a look first and then rest before it's too late."

Dai Bin pretended to be official and conscientious, and rejected Wang Yan's suggestion angrily, although they were all very tired, and they did not dare to enter Xinye and Dengzhou when they passed through Li Cheng's defense area, dressed in disguise, slept in the open air, and were highly nervous, but when did Li Cheng send troops to arrest them.

"Then let's go to the camp first to have a look and then eat, Gao Pet, you lead the way in front." Wang Yan saw that Dai Bin was not good, and turned to Gao Zhong and commanded.

"Yes, sir." Gao Zhong turned to Dai Bin and his party, and said with a pinch of his right hand:

"Ladies and gentlemen, please come with me."

It is said that since Gao Chong had a conversation with Wang Yan that day, he worshiped Wang Yan as his teacher, and the next day he discussed with Wang Yan and moved the troops and office to Junxian, built a military camp, a training ground, and built a ship, and began to prepare for the planned campaign.

So there is no disgust with Jaebin's attitude, people just have some questions, and this mystery can be solved soon. On the way, everyone didn't speak, only that Tian Sizhong, two eyes from time to time to observe Gao Pet, although Gao Pet was young, but his style of acting along the way was also old, and he didn't see a trace of restraint, but seemed free and easy, which made this Zhang Jun's old subordinate, who appeared as Yang Cunzhong's deputy, more and more interested.

This Tian Sizhong, it is not good to command the war, but it can make Zhang Jun take a fancy to it, no matter how bad it is to become a daughter-in-law, he came this time, in addition to Yang Cunzhong's meaning, there is also Zhang Jun's meaning, Zhang Jun does not lead troops now, but strengthening his own strength to win over newcomers is something that people in the court want to do, especially like the Gao family has no faction, and Gao Pet is a blank waiting to be rebuilt, a high starting point, with a great future Such a young man, as long as the development is good and used well, it will inevitably become an important chess piece and increase his strength.

The military camp is located in a mountain col, not far from the military camp is the Han River, the country is relatively low in this area, this Han River has become a huge lake here, and the water has also calmed down. There are many boats on the river, and there are sailors training in the back.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is a part of our army that is being trained on the Han River in front of you." Gao Zhong pointed to the troops on the river that were divided into two camps and were training.

"Oh, you're a horse army, why are you training on the water?" Dai Bin asked. Since it is a horse army, it should be mainly trained in horse kung fu and battle formations, I don't know why this Wang Yan and Gao Zhong are sacrificing their roots.

"Lord Hui, this Xiangyang City is blocked by a wide Han River, and its moat is also the widest of the capital fortresses, and the moat is the widest to a hundred zhang. Besides, most of my horse army are northerners, and although they are good at horsemanship, riding and archery, they are not accustomed to the water and soil of the south, and they are not used to riding boats. Therefore, a certain amount of training is necessary. ”

There are many river networks in the south, and this is also something that must be considered in the southern operation, at least to ensure that the boat is not dizzy and not afraid. But Gao Chong's requirements for the troops are obviously not only that. Because at this time, everyone saw that the two fleets were fighting, one fleet was the red side, and the other team was the blue side, playing the role of the regular naval army of the Southern Song Dynasty during this period.

"My lord, it will be clearer to look at it with this." Gao Zhong handed his telescope to Dai Bin. Gao Pet also asked people to give a telescope to several other adults to teach them how to use it and make it easier for them to observe.

"What is this?" Dai Bin asked curiously

"It's a telescope that can be seen eight times as far away." The highly favored telescope is eight times larger.

Dai Bin picked up the binoculars, and the figure that was still vague just now suddenly became very clear, and even the faces on the ship could be seen clearly, but unfortunately none of these soldiers he knew.
