Chapter 248: Positive Rigidity?
"Let Li Gang of Cangzhou lead the army to stand by, and after Uncle Zhang rests in Cangzhou at night, he can enter Los Angeles, and be sure to arrive before the Sticky Han army arrives under the city of Los Angeles."
"Yes."
Li Huai was about to leave, but Mu Han said again: "Wait." ”
"What does Your Majesty command?"
"In addition, you go to Beidaying to deliver military orders."
"Quickly integrate all the forbidden troops in Bianliang City, and I want to drive the royal army in person, and enter Los Angeles to fight to the death with the southern king of Jin, Sticky Han."
"Your Majesty......"
Li Huai didn't seem to expect Zhao Shuo to be so rigid.
This is simply the most rigid emperor in the historical dynasty, and it is also the emperor of the most gentlemen.
"Don't worry, I will conquer my own family, I will have my own measure, I will not break the enemy's army, and I will not return the capital."
This oath can be described as deafening.
Li Huai was stunned, and hurriedly left the Wende Hall to give orders.
Then Zhao Shuo summoned Gao Yu.
Let Gao Yu guard the capital.
gave Qi Yu another secret order, asking him to send internal guards to keep an eye on Gao Yu.
After all, Gao Yu, an all-star of the football team, still has a criminal record.
Zhao Shuo naturally won't be reassured.
After settling the affairs in Bianliang City.
Zhao Shuo also passed the secret order to the guards of Luzhou City.
Let him prepare his troops in advance and be ready to prevent the sticky Han dog from jumping over the wall and storming Luzhou City.
All in all, Zhao Shuo's strategic intent is very clear.
It just can't let Sticky Han return to the north smoothly.
Because the Northwest Army led by Chen Xinghan still has 300,000 people.
But his side was categorically unable to resist the tremendous pressure of the entire army of the Jin State.
When the time comes, the Northwest Army will collapse.
The Northwest will fall.
The most important thing is that the Tangut people, who have been watching from the sidelines, will also take advantage of the fall of the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty to brazenly send troops to form an alliance with the Jin State.
In that case, Zhao Shuo could only follow the shameful old path of the Nine Emperor Sisters in history.
This is something that Zhao Shuo can't accept.
Therefore, he will use all means to firmly contain Muhan in the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty.
made him powerless to support the Northwest Army.
In this way, the east and west sides can also relieve each other's pressure.
The procrastination will be longer.
A long war was beneficial to the Song Dynasty.
With Zhao Shuo's order in the imperial city.
At dawn on the third day, Zhang Shuye personally led an army of 50,000 to jump across the Yellow River, and the army rested on the riverbank for a while, and then rushed to Los Angeles without stopping.
On the same day, Zhao Shuo personally led 30,000 Janissaries in Bianliang City to also enter Los Angeles.
plus the 20,000 defenders in Los Angeles.
Exactly 100,000 people.
Zhao Shuo, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, came in person, and the power to take charge of the troops was, of course, him.
But Zhao Shuo is not the kind of vain person.
He knows that professional things still have to be handed over to professional people to do.
Uncle Zhang's ability to lead the army in battle at night is beyond doubt.
It's just that this 100,000 army has now become the most morale-boosting army in the entire Great Song Dynasty.
It was because the emperor moved from Bianliang City to a military town.
The significance of this event is extremely significant.
In addition, Zhang Shuye asked the Los Angeles County Guard to recruit the private placement soldiers under his command.
Although the county guard was embarrassed, he didn't expect Uncle Zhang to directly break the unspoken rules among the legion bosses.
But he also hurriedly issued a notice.
In just one day, the defenders of Los Angeles reached 150,000.
Of course, on the external slogan of the military operation, Uncle Zhang issued a document begging the thief without blushing or dry.
It is known as the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty to conquer in person, and the 500,000 royal divisions will fight to the death with Sticky Han.
Such bragging made Zhao Shuo's face hot when he heard it.
But he also secretly gave Uncle Zhang a thumbs up and praised: "Good work, be rewarded." ”
That night, after Zhao Shuo had dinner, he summoned Uncle Zhang to his barracks.
Discuss the next march disposition.
In the end, Zhang Shuye took the initiative to ask Ying to lead the army to arrange a defensive line outside the city.
In order to frantically block the invading Jin army when necessary.
Early in the morning of the fifth day.
The heralds of the vanguard spying on the military situation rode into Los Angeles.
Follow the sentinel's feedback for information.
Sticky Han has bypassed the Songshan boundary in Henan and is going upriver along the Luo River.
But they are not a navy, but an army.
This man is extremely wild.
According to the art of war, marching by mountains and rivers is a taboo for soldiers.
Because it's easy to be surrounded.
Thus the route of retreat was lost.
But Sticky Han knew this, but he did it anyway.
The reason why he likes to take risks every time he is in danger is to do the opposite.
It can not only make the army under his command show the momentum of fighting against the water at any time, but also make the Song Dynasty unpredictable about his strategic intentions.
Even most Song generals would have thought that the Jin had reinforcements on the other side of the river.
Late at night on the fifth day, the heralds came back to report.
It is said that the army of Muhan has appeared twenty miles east of the city.
This distance is already quite close for two large army groups.
At the same time, Sticky Han also received feedback from the sentinels.
Eighteen miles east of Los Angeles, they encountered the Song army.
"Can you look closely?"
Sticky Han asked excitedly, grabbing the herald's shoulder.
"Back to the king, what the last general saw was indeed the Song army."
"How many of them are there?"
"Judging from the scale of the military formation, there are more than 1,000 stoves, and the number of people is almost 10,000."
"And there is a big flag with the word 'Zhang'!"
"A general surnamed Zhang?"
Sticky Han was surprised, and immediately raised his eyebrows, and his eyes flashed with a little joy: "Uncle Zhang, it must be Uncle Zhang!" ”
Lu Zhaoyang next to him looked overjoyed: "King, Uncle Zhang is the commander of the Song Army, known as the leader of the army. ”
"If you can capture him alive, the Song army will definitely shake the government and the opposition."
"yes, that's right." Sticky Han's cheeks are tight and his eyebrows are tight.
There was a bit of ambition in the originally tired eyes.
Now, if Zhang Shuye can really be captured alive, then Wan Yanfu, who is fighting fiercely in the northwest, will be safe.
Historically, it has been not uncommon for the two sides to exchange captured coaches for each other.
It was also possible to take advantage of the opportunity to exchange prisoners and quickly send troops to the northwest of the Song Dynasty.
If Wan Yanfu has been captured by the Northwest Army, then exchange hostages, and finish a decisive battle with the Song Army in the Northwest.
If Wan Yanfu has not been captured, then kill Zhang Shuye to chill the heart of the Song army.
It was also a decisive battle with the Northwest Army.
No matter how he chooses, he won't lose!
At this time, a smug smile appeared on Sticky Han's face.
"That's not right." Lu Zhaoyang shook his head.
Sticky Han laughed and said, "What's wrong? ”
Lu Zhaoyang said: "King, I feel that there is fraud here." ”
"Don't spit out, just talk and listen."
"According to our army's intelligence, there are only 20,000 defenders on the side of Luocheng, and Zhang Shuye is supervising the army in Shandong, why did he suddenly come here?"
Finding that Mu Han did not respond, Lu Zhaoyang continued: "Could it be that the Song army has been informed of our army's movements in advance?" ”
"Nope! That's impossible. Sticky Han shook his head decisively: "How could the Great Song Dynasty know that we were going to withdraw to support the northwest?" ”
