Chapter 416: The Snow Turns Red (6)

The arrival of the Song army made the Taoist officials who participated in the military conference another discussion.

Among the current Taoist officials of Daohai Zongyuan, except for a small number of Taoist soldiers brought out by Wei Ye from Liangzhou, where the north and south Han coexisted, there are many more young people born in the Great Qing Kingdom and grew up in New China.

These Taoist officials and soldiers, even if they have not read the "History of the Song Dynasty", "History of Liao", and "History of Jin", have never paid attention to historical books such as "Dajin Hanging Record" and "Three Dynasties and Northern Alliance Compilation", but the "Yang Jiajiang" and "Shuo Yue Biography" are at least the favorite commentaries of storytellers.

For Liaojin, everyone has a very simple sense of hostile country, especially those young people who learned the perverse behavior of the early Qing Dynasty Aixinjue Luo clan in the classroom, and their bad feelings towards this kind of barbarian dynasty are even deeper.

It's just that under the rule of Wei Ye and Murong Parrot, the Aixin Jueluo family has changed their surnames, either Zhao or Jin, and there is no Manchurian statement, and the national sentiment deliberately incited by this has no purpose to vent. This time through the war through time and space, I don't know how many young people who hate to "return to Jingkang" and "return to Chongzhen", and are determined to "save the sky again" and "rebuild the rivers and mountains", are holding back a fighting spirit and only staying to try the sword on the Liaojin military horse.

But when it comes to Zhao Song, everyone's emotions are quite complicated-

In terms of legal unification, the Song dynasty was the main one in the three dynasties of the Song, Liao, and Jin dynasties, but as long as those who knew a little about the Song dynasty, they were a little dismissive of this legendary "the most brilliant, most civilized, and richest dynasty in the Middle Ages":

"Zhao Kuangyin made a fortune with a mutiny, bullied the Guo family without a queen, the orphans and widows of the Chai family, pretending to be a Zen leader, but in fact usurping the throne, winning the country is not like the Jin family, and there is no Sima clan to mix a Chinese merit, how can it be called Zhengshuo!

"Zhao Guangyi has the change of axe sound and candle shadow, fabricated the alliance of Jinkui, arranged the younger brother, forced the nephew to death, drove his relatives crazy, cut down Liao on the bank of the Sorghum River to no avail, and fled with arrows in his hips, he is not the master of pioneering!"

"Zhenzong is cowardly and good at talking about ghosts and gods, Renzong is lenient and benevolent but has no ambition to cheer up and refresh, Yingzong is not filial, Shenzong has the merit of changing the law but single-handedly created the old and new party disputes, although Zhezong has an enterprising heart, but his life is not eternal. As for the current Zhao Guanjia, he is nothing more than a talented and good man!"

"Hey, it's still Zhang Zihou who hit the nail on the head: 'King Duan is frivolous, you can't rule the world'!"

"Regardless of anything else, Zhao Ji is quite reasonable, he knows how to respect the virtuous, don't set up the rank of Taoist officials, and extensively search the writings of the former sages of the Taoist sect in the past dynasties, but it is not useless......"

"When he Zhao Ji played a statement to the heavens, he also claimed to be the leader of Yuqing Shenxiao, Baoxian Xuanyi, Liuyang Sanwu, Xuanji Qijiu, Feiyuan Dafa, and Sidutian, I don't know how this greedy and lustful Zhao Guanjia is Lingbao Zhizhen?

"Enough is enough, today is the Military Council, not the Song History Seminar, not to mention some of these things!"

"Otherwise, Liaojin and Jin are still a bit of a fishy barbarian, but Zhao Song still has a Zhengshuo name on his back, and if he doesn't uncover Zhao Song's painting skin first, I'm afraid that the soldiers and horses we bring will be confused, and I will first recognize myself as a thief. If you want me to say, these dirty and unclean places of Zhao Song are best to say from time to time, **** to speak, and even more to break and crush Zhao Song to rip the prefectures and counties of the world and hoard a lot of wealth in Bianliang, and tell it clearly. Only by unifying the hearts of the army and the people will it be beneficial to our next move!"

The Taoist officer who was responsible for maintaining order in the military council on the side couldn't help but pick up a small hammer and gently knocked on the fish-shaped jade chime hanging in front of him, and a clear voice suppressed these chaotic off-topic discussions:

"It's too far off topic, what I want to discuss now is the possibility of the Song Army disrupting our army's subordinates, please pay attention to the content of your speech!"

At the end of this routine digression, these overly excited young Taoist officials reined in a little and began to work on the details, and the topic gradually shifted to how to "invade Liaojin in the north and reject the Song army in the south".

A young Taoist who looked to have just graduated from Qinggeng Academy for a few years stood up first and pointed on the equal-scale sand table on the conference table: "The Baigou River is the largest water system in the south of Zhuoyi Erzhou, we can use the Baigou River as a natural defense zone to melt the river surface and make the Song army look at the river and sigh." When we eat the Liao-Jin coalition army, the Liao State is certainly about to perish, the Jin State has lost this military horse, and there are a large number of tribal nobles of the Jurchen Wanyan Tribe, so naturally it is also a big injury. At that time, the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures will naturally be in control of everything by our army!"

"Melt the Baigou River? That's a good point, but what to do to melt the river ice? The firewood, grass and coal stored in Zhuoyi Erzhou are the most important resources at the moment, whether it is the cement kiln currently in operation or the heating of refugees, these fuels are indispensable, and it is impossible to waste them on such a thing as melting the river ice!"

-- This is the opposition from the civil servant.

"It is not realistic to use talisman arrows and fire arrays to dissolve river ice at present, especially since the current severe cold weather will make the thawing river water freeze rapidly, and I think the fire array arrangement should still be placed on the fortifications of the fortress. We now have a limited number of soldiers, whether they are Dao soldiers or Dao officials, they are the most important combat strength, and they must be used on steel blades, and they cannot let their physical strength and true qi be wasted in the inefficient work of melting river ice. ”

- The Taoist officer in charge of military command is obviously not very optimistic about this plan either.

An uncoordinated plan was pressed, and an even less incoherent plan was put forward: "In this case, can we arrange for the elite of the Dongming Feijie Division to pretend to be a Liao person and directly assassinate the commander of the Song army." For example, Tong Guan, who is now serving as the Xuanfu envoy, will inevitably cause the Song army to be in turmoil, and with the consistent party strife and inefficiency of the Zhao and Song officialdom, the Song army's northward movement will inevitably stagnate......

"I don't agree with this kind of assassination! The assassination of a few military and political dignitaries will only bring temporary chaos to the other side, but it will not help the general situation. Moreover, this kind of action will inevitably make the personnel of our army lurking within the Song army more suspicious, and even have the danger of being exposed, which is a completely unplanned move that outweighs the losses!"

......

.........

After one argument after another, in the end, it was through the Yizhou Qingguang Altar that several young Taoist officials who participated in the meeting remotely came up with an incomparably detailed battle plan.

Compared with the so-called "conspiracy" that patted their heads, as well as the reports of the staff officers who had just graduated from the Qinggeng Academy and the sand table, this detailed battle plan and the tactical ideas put forward in the battle plan are eye-catching.

“...... Give full play to the water system of the Baigou River, Juma River, and Gaoliang River, and send the water house service spirit through the water veins mastered by our army, and cut and encircle the Liaojin coalition army and the Song army. And then concentrate our superior forces and look for opportunities to annihilate them all? This is a good idea...... However, there are still some imperfections in the treatment of the Song army, and this part will be made up by the Dongming Feijie Division. ”

Wei Ye's words can be regarded as agreeing on the nature of this army, and it also endorses the battle plan of the former enemy disposal division in Yizhou.

......

.........

Baigou Henan, the river surface is still frozen, the thick ice surface is glowing with a faint blue-white light, the powdery residual snow has nowhere to rely on the ice, and the cold wind blows and rolls up slightly.

On the bank of the river, the Shengjie Army led by Tong Guan and the Huanqing Army led by Liu Yanqing were composed of two military horses to receive Zhuoyi Erzhou soldiers and horses, and finally left the Xiongzhou garrison, and spent two days Chenguang, Lian Zhengbing and auxiliary troops, and traveled more than 100 miles, and finally arrived at the Baigou River, the bank of the Song Liao Boundary River.

There is no way, Xiongzhou City, where the Song army gathered on a large scale, is so far away from the Song-Liao border, if it weren't for the fact that Wang Yu, who led the team, was Tong Guan's die-hard loyalist, and Han Zun, who led the Huanqing army, was Liu Yanqing's always relied on as a fighting general, and the Shengjie army and the Huanqing army were also considered to be high-quality military horses in the Western Army, and they might not have such speed.

If Wang Yu and Han Zuntong had brought all the cavalry, and only brought douxu rice and grain in addition to the armor and staff, they would have crossed the Baigou River and entered the territory of the Liao State at this time.

However, now Wang Yu and Han Zun both know that the so-called "Zhuoyi Erzhou Yizhi returns to Song" is a great victory, and it is difficult to say what the plans of those military horses occupying Zhuoyi Erzhou are now. In such a situation, it would be too unwise for a lone army to go deep into the Liao realm without bringing enough food and grass.

It is also thanks to Wang Yu and Han Zun that they are both popular generals in the army, and the command of the soldiers and horses is also quite orderly, and the marching of soldiers and horses, and the transfer of grain and grass are arranged in an orderly manner, so they finally arrived at the bank of the Baigou River. I want to change people, but I am afraid that he is still arguing with Sima in the army over the issue of military rations.
