Chapter 207: Preparing for Action

Zhao Ta has been on the bank of the Yellow River for seven days, and this time he went south to conquer Wang Qing, and he wanted to bring his own horse infantry army.

He didn't want the army of the front division of the palace, not even the three people of the western army who were in the front of the temple.

Emperor Daojun naturally doesn't care about these, you just need to lead troops to fight, in the eyes of Emperor Daojun, what is the front division of the palace, the pro-military division of the guards, are all their own soldiers, and there is no need to divide each other.

Zhao Ta transferred back several commanders of the Long Guard Army stationed in Yongqiu, Weishi, and Heyang.

Several commanders of the Cloud Cavalry Army stationed in Chenliu, Xijing, and Gongxian were also transferred back.

The two places exchanged guards with the front division of the palace, and the Xiaojie army did not move.

The infantry army transferred the four armies of Shenwei, Huyi, Wuwei, and Xiongwu, and transferred the Xiang army of the two roads in the west of Beijing into Beijing.

There were 20,000 cavalry troops, 30,000 infantry troops, 20,000 van troops, and 70,000 people.

The 20,000 van troops in it are used as logistics baggage troops, and they have to be allocated to part of the cavalry army, so the combat effectiveness can be ignored, and only 50,000 troops will be used.

These 50,000 troops can be said to be the most elite of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army, after all, the Dragon Guard Army, the Divine Guard Army, two of the four armies have gone to fight, and the Ma Bu Army under the Guards and Guards Division has been training for two years, and its combat effectiveness is definitely higher than that of the army under the front division of the palace.

Zhao Ta immediately stood on the bank of the Yellow River, and the army in front of him was dense and could not see the end at a glance, only to see the bright armor and bright swords and guns.

He said to Liu Qi on the side: "Uncle Xin, how about this army? ”

Liu Qi's eyelids jumped, during the time he entered Beijing, after several exercises and martial arts exercises, he could be regarded as having a thorough understanding of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army.

In terms of the appearance of the army, the Western Army is afraid that it will not be able to catch up, and the equipment of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is the most sophisticated of all armies, and there are standards for height and appearance.

But in terms of fighting skills, I am afraid that even if the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army trains for another ten or eight years, it will not be able to catch up with the Western Army, and the fighting skills of the Western Army are all practiced on the battlefield, let alone one-on-one, I am afraid that even four or five Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will not dare to say that they will definitely win against one Western Army.

As for the gall and blood, although I didn't see much of this during the exercise, Liu Qi's vision was almost sunk to the bottom after several contacts.

But fortunately, when I went to drink and chat with the three people in front of the palace, I listened to each other's complaints, and talked about the virtue of the forbidden army over there, which was far less than that of Ma Bujunsi, so I felt a little comforted in my heart.

Liu Qi said: "Lord Wang, the army seems to be good, but it has no will to fight. ”

Zhao Ta nodded, the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army had never had the idea of fighting in his heart, even if the expedition was imminent, but they all looked relaxed, as if they were going to visit the mountains and rivers.

I have never fought a war, I have never seen blood and fire on the battlefield, and I have carried my ears to lecture and my left ear to go in and out of my right ear.

Even the two defeats of Zheng Wangqing before would not think about it, thinking about how to escape from the battlefield if he was defeated.

In addition to drills in the past few days, it is to boost morale, and everyone shouts majestic, but without the baptism of the battlefield, the shouts are always a little false.

Zhao Ta looked at Yao Pingzhong on the other side: "What does Xi Yan think?" ”

Yao Pingzhong blinked and said, "Lord Wang, it's enough to scare people, but if you give me 5,000 cavalry of the Western Army, I can kill more than a dozen of them in a day with these 70,000 people in front of me!" ”

Zhao Ta squinted his eyes and said, "What if you give you the five thousand people in front of you?" ”

Yao Pingzhong thought for a while: "Although my subordinates haven't seen Wang Qing's army, they think that they are just grass bandits and wanderers, how can they be defeated if they rush to kill one-on-one?" It will be the heart of the army, the previous defeat will definitely not work, if it is given to the front of the five thousand soldiers of his subordinates, at least it will not be a problem to fight the same Wang Qing thief army! ”

Zhao Ta glanced at him and said, "Don't be ashamed, I'll give you 5,000 soldiers when the time comes, and see how you win!" ”

Yao Pingzhong grinned and said, "Then the prince is going to give me a great credit." ”

Zhao Ta said: "As long as Wang Qing can be destroyed, the merit and reward will naturally be there, and it will be ......."

He paused, the three of them all looked over, and Zhao Ta said lightly: "Whatever is seized, it will be your own!" ”

"Ah......" When the three of them heard this, they all exhaled in a low voice, this is to sit on the ground and share the spoils!

Yao Pingzhong's eyes lit up like a lamp at the moment: "Lord Wang, can this be taken seriously?" ”

Although the Western Army is also accustomed to this case when it is against Xia Fan, it has never had a big harvest since the recovery of Xia Fan, but Fan is poor and stingy, and since the recovery of Longyou.

But Wang Qing's thief army is different, why is the thief army called a thief army? is to loot and rob, everyone has money, and the more official the more wealth.

Originally, the three of them thought that Zhao Ta's identity would inevitably act in a high-minded manner, and would restrain and restrict the occurrence of this kind of thing, and even be listed in the military discipline, but they didn't expect to directly say that they would do it like this at this moment!

Zhao Ta said: "Can this king's words not be true? ”

Yao Pingzhong hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, if there is such an order, Pingzhong can break the thief army of 5,000 people and 8,000!" ”

Liu Qi looked at Yao Pingzhong from the side and frowned, feeling that this Yao family kid's words were a bit too big, these forbidden troops have never fought, and they are not hot-blooded recruits, most of them are from the family of the forbidden army, and it is not easy to lead such a team to fight a battle, and it is necessary to break eight thousand from five thousand?

Zhao Ta hehe, does this Yao Pingzhong have any skills? There are probably skills, but the skills to brag are not low.

At this time, the commander of the prefecture came to deliver a letter quickly, saying that there was Dengzhou Zongze, and he reported to the prefecture.

This is what Zhao Ta had explained before, as soon as Zong Ze came, he came to deliver the letter.

Let the three stay and continue to practice, and take Su Shi back to the mansion, I saw one person waiting in the lobby.

Zhao Ta looked Zong Ze up and down, but saw that although the loyal Jian Gong of later generations had half white hair, he was in good spirits and his eyes were bright, and he hurriedly fell to the ground and bowed after seeing Zhao Ta.

"Zong Ze has seen His Royal Highness King Qi, thank His Royal Highness King Qi for exonerating his crimes!"

Zong Ze is not a person who does not know how to be flexible, in fact, no one who knows the army is really a rigid and sluggish person, and if he is like that, he will not be able to cope with the rapidly changing situation on the battlefield.

As for what Zhao Ta said to Emperor Daojun, it was just to exonerate Zong Ze, so that Emperor Daojun felt that Zong Ze was rigid and obedient, and his heart alleviated his dissatisfaction with Zong Ze.

"Ru Lin, get up, sit down and talk." Zhao Ta didn't say anything more.

Zong Ze got up and looked at this King of Qi, he had heard the name of King Qi for a long time, but it was the first time he had seen it.

I saw that this rich god was handsome, with a dusty temperament, wearing a white robe, but there were some dusty servants, obviously riding back from a distance, as for where, it was probably the military ground outside the city.

Zong Ze secretly said ashamed in his heart, His Royal Highness the King of Qi valued him, and after entering the palace before, he saw that some soldiers hurriedly went out, obviously to report the news.

But how can he be, just wait, why let His Royal Highness King Qi rush back to see him? As soon as he thought of this, Zong Ze felt a surge of blood in his heart, he hadn't felt this way for many years.

He is nearly sixty years old, does he really have the opportunity to serve the country and make meritorious contributions?
