Wang Jin is a soldier, an official, and a high-ranking official, is that because he has good ability and outstanding ability?

No!

Wang Jin is a good birth for him, and his father is a festival envoy, so there is no reason for him to be a small citizen of Shengdou, right? As for his father...... It's not that his father has the ability, but that his grandfather is powerful, as for his grandfather......

Well, this is a common disease of a decent and powerful family, and the children and grandchildren are becoming more and more unhelpful.

Speaking of which, Wang Jin and Wang Xu, the commander of the horses, are still relatives, and Wang Shu is considered an uncle in the clan. Wang Xu, when he was in his twenties, became the son-in-law of General Zuo Yiwei. As long as he is with Wang Jin of the Royal Boxing Gym, it is the same name and surname, and the two families have no relationship at all. Wang Jin, the head of the martial arts sect, even if he has half of the Wang family's confidence and doorway, he will not be able to nest in the deserted yamen of the Royal Boxing Gym.

According to his age, no matter what, he has to be a commander of the horse infantry army.

Of course, Wang Jin does not have the ability to teach the head of the Royal Boxing Gym. Even if he could compete with Renduo in terms of force, he would not be so short of breath.

But the problem is that he can't compete in martial arts.

He is even more ineffective than arranging troops.

The large battalion of the Song army was a means of arranging troops according to the barracks of 100,000 horses and the law of the company battalion. Wang Jin had never heard of this kind of formation method. His family is a powerful general, but it is estimated that the ancestor of the Wang family has the opportunity to command an army of 100,000. When it comes to Wang Jin's generation, let alone Wang Jin, there is no general in the Great Song Dynasty who can command an army of 100,000.

There is not even a chance to command, not to mention a well-organized company camp.

And Renduo is different.

This can be the commander of the Western Xia Zhuoluo Army, and the Zhuoluo Army in its heyday, with 200,000 troops, is the most powerful military town in Western Xia. The camp of 100,000 people, he forced his eyes to list them. This ratio is a superior judgment.

Fortunately, Wang Jin is a person who knows the importance of it, and he also knows that if he goes to compete with Renduo Baozhong for military power, he can win. After all, Li Kui is not here, and Anton, the master of Longtu Pavilion, has enough right to speak. But the question is, what if he loses?

If the 70,000 army is really defeated, tens of thousands of horses will die, and his whole family, including the Wang family, will be unlucky.

Knowing the importance clearly, Wang Jin said that he didn't want to be the coach at all. For him, it was a deadly job. In particular, in case Renduo Baozhong couldn't be defeated, he at least had an excuse to protect An Longtu and avoid the pretext of the important ministers of the court being humiliated by the Fan tribe to escape. If you run away as a manager, wait for death!

Even if he looked down on Wufu again, Anton also imagined that he was crowned with a scarf, and between talking and laughing, the big scene of 100,000 enemy chieftains being wiped out......

He can look down on Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun, but can he look down on Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?

It's a pity that the tool man is not powerful, Wang Jin, who has no interest, doesn't even have the courage to be loyal to Renduo, so in vain, he can only give up the position of commander of the just battle with the Great Song Dynasty soldiers and suppressing the Liao army.

After Renduo Baozhong grasped the military power, he immediately sent soldiers and horses to cross part of the river, on the one hand, the opposite bank needed sufficient troops to support, and on the other hand, Yi County also needed enough reinforcements and materials. Only with Yi County in his hands can he stabilize the defensive line.

However, even so, he was worried about the future of the Song army, mainly because of the Yishui near Zhuozhou, which would be earlier than the big river froze, and he would definitely be able to run before the New Year. This is also the Nanjing Road of the Liao State, and the Liao army can have reinforcements anytime and anywhere. After all, the commander on the other side is the emperor of Liao, and it is possible that the entire Liao's troops will pull down the Zhuozhou front.

And the Great Song?

Western Xia is fighting, and Renduo is not unclear, and it is unlikely that he wants reinforcements from the Western Army.

There were no reinforcements, and he was also scared as if he had a sword hanging over his heart. If so many people and horses were folded in his hands, he was afraid that he would stink on the street in the Great Song Dynasty.

"Bachelor, the envoy of Renduo Jiedu asks to see you!"

Antun did not compete for the right to command, and at this time, he was pondering whether to take the men and horses back to Zhending Mansion.

At the front, in case of capture...... The Great Song Dynasty did not have a single precedent for a scholar to be captured by a foreign race. Anton didn't want to be the first person.

If he really loses Wenchen's face, I'm afraid that Zhang Dun, the backer, will not be able to protect him at that time.

At this time, Anton's mind was no longer in the army, or to be precise, he felt that even if Rindo was loyal, he would not be one in the face of Yelu Hongji.

For his own comfort, and the decency of Da Song.

The main thing is the decency of the Great Song Dynasty, and Anton decided that he wanted to make a wave.

But Gou is the goal, and he has to find a high-sounding reason to prevaricate, otherwise some people really think that he is afraid of death!

Hearing the doorman's announcement that Ren Duo Baozhong was visiting, An Dan didn't want to see him, but after hesitating, he still stood up and walked out of the tent: "Ren Duo Jie Du envoy, now the military affairs are important, and if there is something to tell his subordinates, there is no reason why this official should not come." ”

Rindo Baozhong only complained from the bottom of his heart: "This festival envoy personally visited, and you almost disappeared." Send a subordinate to come down, it's no wonder if you don't blast it out! ”

"Bachelor An has such a large amount, which is the blessing of my Great Song Dynasty. But the lower officials are really worried, this battle is not easy to fight! ”

Niduo Baozhong was worried.

An Dan was surprised: "Haven't we all won small victories in the past few days?" ”

After the leather room army arrived in Yi County, it was not inaction, but fought several times. Nito Holoya also thought that he couldn't avoid the battle, so he tried to fight twice on a small scale.

Both sides did not take it seriously, and this kind of operation was just a test and had no practical meaning at all.

Song Jun is conservative and steady, after all, the other party is the elite of the Liao State. And it was not the leather room army that participated in the battle, but the Kwangshun army that regrouped after the rout.

As a result, the Guangshun army seems to be addicted to fighting every day in recent days.

Renduo Baozhong also saw the other party's thoughts, he came to find confidence, the battle was fake, and the courage training was true. But An Dan didn't know, he didn't even see Liao Jun's thoughts. Instead, he thought that the situation was favorable to the Song army.

Ren Duo Baozhong frowned and said: "Bachelor, the Liao people like to fight against the wind and clouds, and they are resolute and resolute. In fact, the tribes of the steppe like this, and the battle will pounce on all their forces and swallow each other in one go. Now, don't look at the Liao army, there is no intention of a big war. Are they actually waiting? ”

The flesh on An Dan's face trembled a few times for no reason, and he said, "You mean that the Liao people are waiting for reinforcements?" ”

"It's possible." Renduo Baozhong is a little funny, I'm afraid that the person in front of me doesn't know how to fight at all, the leather room army of the Liao State has been sent, do they still need reinforcements?

If the Pi Room army can't defeat the Song army, what's the use of sending other troops?

After Ren Duo Baozhong said a few words to An Dan, he immediately changed his words: "Xia Guan is afraid that Liao Guo has deeper thoughts. ”

"Surely they want to swallow my 70,000 troops in one bite, right?" After Anton finished speaking, he just wanted to laugh arrogantly, but suddenly he couldn't laugh. He suddenly found that he had been foolishly deceived out of Zhending Mansion by Li Kuiyu, and now his safety could not be guaranteed, and he had no place to regret it.

Rindo nodded and said, "That's right, the bachelor is wise. ”

An Danxin said: "Wise fart, this official's life is not guaranteed, what can I do?" ”

Rindo knew that the effect of intimidation would not be too good, so he could only argue with reason: "Bachelor, please see." ”

As he spoke, he took out the map he had brought with him.

Pointing to Yi Shui on the map: "At most a month, Yi Shui is frozen, and the 70,000 troops of the Liao State can cross Yi Shui and go around to the rear of our army anytime and anywhere, once Xiongzhou is defeated, our army can only retreat towards Daizhou." However, Nanshan Pass is now in the hands of the Liao, and they may not easily recapture it for our army. ”

"Definitely not!" Wang Jin interjected on the side, then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and shut up and peeked at An Dan.

When Renduo was loyal to Western Xia, but he was an important minister in the court who gave advice to the Empress Dowager Liang, if it weren't for the Liang family, he could come to the Great Song Dynasty?

Of course, the integrity is gone, but the ability is still there.

Renduo Baozhong pointed to Yutu and said: "Now our army can only take advantage of the fact that the Liao army has not crossed the river and build a city on the south bank of Yishui. Then let the rear deliver enough supplies to the front line. In this way, even if it is easy to freeze in water, our army can still rely on two fortresses that are horns of each other and maneuver with the Liao army. And sir, you know that I'm not good at building cities. ”

Anton felt that something was wrong, on the one hand, he did have an itch.

What is the most powerful skill of the civil official of the Great Song Dynasty?

It's not poetry, it's not rhetoric, it's engineering.

Even a famous man in the literary world like Su Shi is a good hand at doing engineering, and people like Anton can't say anything to be left behind.

Of course, the project has to be done differently.

The time is tight, the task is heavy, and the project is almost done. But Renduo Baozhong obviously did not want a millennium project, he only wanted a protected area that would allow the Song army to avoid being directly attacked by the Liao cavalry.

It's not a big deal. He bowed his head and said, "This matter is not difficult. ”

Lanzhou was built in five days, and this is not blown out. The army of the Great Song Dynasty was divided into the forbidden army and the box army, and most of the role of the box army was to assist the war, in fact, it was the coolie who worked. Seeing a city was very attractive to Anton, and he pondered that it should be a great credit. I was just about to agree, but I was afraid that I would be dragged to death on the front line. But in the end, he nodded and agreed: "The official will keep an eye on you, you can rest assured!" ”

Seeing this, Rindo Baozhong made another request: "There are also reinforcements." ”

An Dian is Zhang Dan's confidant, and he has many involvements in the affairs of the Metropolitan Hall. It can be said that he is one of the important ministers of the court who knows that the Great Song Dynasty is now unable to send troops to reinforce Hebei.

However, according to Rindo's loyalty, it is unlikely that he will not ask for help. I had to delay: "At this time, the official will ask the court for help, but it ......"

Ren Duobao was loyal and knew it, and immediately promised: "Before the reinforcements arrive, the lower officials will guarantee with their heads that our army will never withdraw from the Yishui defense line." ”

"Okay, it's also a lot of trouble for Lai Renduo to make it more difficult!"

It's just that he found that Renduo Baozhong still hasn't left, and An Dan is puzzled: "Is there anything else?" ”

Of course, Renduo is still loyal, he can't stare at Li Kui's name to fight the Liao army, right? Now the flags hanging in the camp of the Song army are all Li Kui and the Praetorian Guard. Although it is fake, the memory of the craftsmen of the Great Song Dynasty cannot be seen by the Liao people at all. Besides, no one will cost this thing, because if you catch it, you will be killed.

Renduo has no choice but to keep his loyalty, he estimates that he will hang his flag on the handsome tent, and Yelu Hongji on the opposite side will definitely not be able to help but kill him. This is not good news for Rinda Baozhong.

This kind of pressure, he is a little unbearable.

If Li Kui is here, it will be much easier for Renduo to keep his loyalty.

The point is that Renduo Baozhong did not have the confidence to fight the emperor of the Liao State at all, and this war was very unfavorable for him. The Emperor has unlimited access to all the resources of an empire, including armies. But he is just a temperance envoy, and he can't compete with Yelu Hongji at all. Even if the Liao State is not as rich as the Great Song Dynasty, the Liao State has an advantage that the Great Song Dynasty cannot match.

The military strength of the Liao State was stronger than that of the Great Song Dynasty.

Don't look at the Song army's successive victories in Zhuozhou and Yishui, killing countless people.

But none of this could shake the foundation of the Liao State.

As long as Yelu Hongji is still the emperor of Liao, he has the absolute strength to consume the Song army.

But if Li Kui is here, it will be different, and Renduo Baozhong believes that Li Kui may be able to break the game.

This is the difference between the fake and the true, Renduo Baozhong still opened his mouth to the important person of Andu: "My lord, you also know that we are opposite the emperor of the Liao State. If there are no 200,000 reinforcements, it will be difficult for you and me to hold the Yishui defense line. For the sake of today, we can only contact Li Shuai as soon as possible, only if he is there, we will have a chance to win. ”

"What if you retire now?"

An Tun also knows the benefits of contacting Li Kui, but the question is how does he know where Li Kui is? The flying pigeon can only pass the book to a fixed place, and the scouts sent have no return, and the other side is the Liao army, wouldn't it let the Liao people know that Li Kui is not in the barracks?

An Tun said helplessly: "I don't know where Li Kui is?" He is a celebrity in front of the emperor, what can I do? Besides, you think I don't want him to come? The question is, will he listen to me? ”

This is true, but Anton's tone is like a resentful woman who ignores her husband all day long, and that kind of resentment that soars to the sky, even Renda Baozhong is aware of it.

Rindo Baozhong trembled for no reason, and then reluctantly retreated.

I'm afraid that there won't be too many reinforcements, and 350,000 won't play a decisive role at all.

As for Li Kui......

Renduo Baozhong stared at the north bank of Yishui, his eyes full of resentment.

In the camp of the Liao army, Han Junyi was in a tent where he had no life, with shackles on his body, and his eyes were dull looking at the bright light from the roof of the tent, it seemed to be snowing outside, and it was very cold.

But it was his heart that was even colder.

Recalling the last month of the war with the Song army, at the beginning he led an army of 50,000 to invade the territory of the Song State, but the Song people avoided the battle and did not dare to confront it.

Who would have thought that the battle of Yishui would make him lose his troops, recalling the past, he suddenly moved his arm, made a metallic sound, and his body was locked in shackles, but he didn't care at all, but climbed to the mouth of the tent and shouted to the guards outside the tent: "I have an urgent military situation, and I want to report to Your Majesty!" ”

No one responded!

Han Zirang did not give up and kept shouting.

Until the moment when he wanted to give up, suddenly someone outside the tent whispered: "Remove the shackles from him and take him to the king's tent." ”

Yelu Hongji looked at the flames in the fire pond and couldn't figure out why Han Junyi suddenly said that there was an emergency military situation? He was puzzled by all the questions he should have asked, and suddenly, he felt a chill in his back, could it be ...... The coach on the other side is not Li Kui at all, right?
