When Song Jiu was recalled from Suzhou, he was thinking about it on the road. The Battle of Yingzhou was not that important. The reason for the defeat was not that the Song army was incompetent, but that the general was too incompetent. The military chaos in Bashu was unpopular, let alone taken to heart. Therefore, the first priority is the Yellow River. But he was not the Song Jiu of the past, so he thought of the Battle of Chanyuan again on the way. The process is not important. Guan Jian is Xiao Yanyan. Why did he start the Chanyuan War? It couldn't be for Li Jiqian, and Li Jiqian was Xiao Yanyan's son. Can he take such a big risk? It is impossible to force peace with war, that is even more nonsense. The problem now is that the Song Dynasty wants peace, but Xiao Yanyan is at odds. But there must be a reason for this battle. Then when I arrived in Yunzhou and saw the court's disaster relief efforts, I suddenly realized that one was Han Derang and the other was Song Zhenzong, who had underestimated him. He did not see what Zhao Heng would become in the later period, but now Zhao Heng can be said to have reached the peak of internal governance. I am afraid that even the legendary Wenjing rule is not as good as Zhao Heng during the Xianping rule. Since this is the reason, then Xiao Yanyan may launch a more violent attack, even with more troops than in history because there is no northwest containment. But this is a guess, and it also depends on the country's financial situation. After arriving at the Third Division, after reading the account books, we started to strengthen the army. However, I was afraid that I might not guess correctly at first, but I started to train the Beiwei army to resettle the people of Hebei and the victims of the disaster. Some troops were added, and the Xianping Army was added. Even if you don't guess correctly, these measures are still necessary. Subsequently, the Liao Kingdom continued to invade, which verified his idea. So we had this plan. In war, we must pay attention to the right time, place, and people. If it is a normal invasion, it will be fine. If it is a large-scale invasion like Song Jiu suspected. Then it would be best to lead the Liao army to the inner reaches of the Song Dynasty to fight. The cruel plan will be cruel here, once it happens. Many people will suffer. But if it succeeds, it will be worth it. One battle would determine the outcome. Even if Xiao Yanyan and the Emperor of Liao could not be captured and the main force of the Liao army was annihilated, the Song Dynasty still had hundreds of thousands of cavalry. If they took advantage of the situation and went north, they might wipe out the Liao army. Even if it was not destroyed, the Liao Kingdom would have been severely weakened and torn apart. The Song Dynasty easily gained the sixteen states of Yanyun. To this end, he came up with various arrangements. Including planting trees on the front line, sending envoys to sue for peace, actively tempting Xiao Yanyan to invade, and through frequent troop mobilization, the Liao Kingdom was not aware that the elite troops had been staying in the northwest for training. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: The generals who train Beiwei Army and Xianping Army have always been Yang Qiong and Tian Min. The transfer didn't begin until this year. It happens that many places in Nanhetao are deserted, which makes it difficult for Liao spies to go deep into Nanhetao to gather useful information. But it¡¯s still not enough. This series of plans has a critical prerequisite. That's intelligence. If the information cannot be obtained in advance, it may be superfluous and put the capital in danger. There happened to be an eunuch who was transferred back to the capital, Li Shenyou. This person has a rigorous nature. Zhao Heng, who has a strict mouth and is a little bit wary about the military, drives to Daming Mansion. As the supervisor of the Tianxiong Army, he once brought a secret order to the generals. Hundreds of Liao cavalry suddenly arrived, and Li Shenyou called out to Zhou. If you call an ambush, the enemy will be frightened away. It shows that this person has a high IQ. So let this person take charge. He also selected dozens of the most top and reliable scouts from the Hebei Army and began to put them under his jurisdiction. Of course, the frontline generals did not dare to ask Zhao Heng where my scouts were. Zhao Heng also allocated funds from the internal treasury to allow these scouts to sneak into the Liao Kingdom with heavy sums of money. With the action of these scouts and large sums of money, several senior officials of the Liao Kingdom were bribed, and even a Han eunuch next to Xiao Yanyan was bribed. Of course, the money spent is very considerable. It is impossible to make these people treason with just a little bit of money. More than two million yuan was invested. However, the ministers did not know that the accounts were transferred from the internal treasury. It was this operation that enabled the court to learn about Xiao Yanyan's move south in March, which is why Li Hang said those words that no one could understand before his death. There are also generals, such as the four generals in the early Song Dynasty, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Li Jilong, and Cao Wei. In fact, Cao Bin was a soy sauce, but Cao Wei was a real famous general. He even had a first-class eye for people. For example, he treated Li Yuanhao evaluation of. This is a coach with both wisdom and courage. He is not a general, but a handsome man. However, although Cao Wei went to the battlefield at this time, he lacked the training of independent command. Therefore, Song Jiu put him in Weizhou and let him start fighting, which was to train him in advance. This also has another purposethat is, the deployment of officers and soldiers this year. Another example is Zhao Heng¡¯s formation. Song Jiu had no objection. He even expected that Wang Chao would not play. If Wang Chao dared to go to war, the governor around him would come up with a secret order to prevent him from going to war. But if it's the latter, Song Jiu might appreciate it. Reason?Simple, let Xiao Yanyan in, preserve the strength in the rear, and fight for the final battle. And some other arrangements, such as training rural soldiers. Not only are the rural soldiers now playing the role of leading people to take refuge in the walled city and reducing casualties, but they are also taking the initiative to lead people to resist. After the war, these rural soldiers have been established. With excellent standard weapons, and even after cooperating with the people for a period of time, and with a mass base, he can lead everyone to kill the fleeing Liao soldiers. There are other. The change of defense between Li Jilong and Cao Wei not only changed the defense of the two generals, but also many troops. Now the main force is no longer in Nanhetao, and it is too close to the Liao Kingdom. But that's not what the edict said, and there was no one standing on the roadside counting them one by one. It only said that part of the army was mobilized to increase Qin Wei's thickness. After all, the Tubo people are quite powerful. As the Song Dynasty advances westward, sooner or later there will be a serious conflict with the Tubo. But now, regardless of the strength of Nanhetao or Qinwei, as well as several important generals, they are no longer in Nanhetao and Qinwei. Even in the name of disaster preparedness, a large amount of grain and grass was prepared in the relevant state capitals in advance to save the speed of transporting grain and grass. There is another arrangement, which is a weaponbut it is also in charge of Li Shenyou. The person who trains with this weapon is Pan Weizheng, who has studied in the academy for several years. It is not a welfare. The brothers of the Pan family, Pan Weizheng is under the leadership of Song Jiu , and learned a lot of knowledge about physical objects, and gradually grew into a good official, which is the pride of the old Pan family. ¡ ¡°General Pan. The Weishui River is in front of us. Let¡¯s find the boat together.¡± ¡°That¡¯s good. Send me a message.¡± Pan Weizheng looked at the three thousand officers and soldiers and the five thousand civilians and said loudly. In order to gain time. On the way, he promised that if he arrived at Weishui in advance, each person would be rewarded with twenty minjiaozi. Because Jiaozi was issued in small quantities and was easy to use, its price on the black market could be exchanged for one thousand and one hundred copper coins. But the money didn¡¯t come from the court, but from his own pocket. ¡°However, the Pan family¡¯s wealth has now reached an astonishing figure, and Zhao Heng is not so suspicious. Compared with the merit of arriving in Chanzhou in advance, it is worth spending a little money. ? Send out a lot of handouts. Then eight thousand soldiers and civilians cheered. He quickly pushed the baggage cart to the bank of the Weishui River, where dozens of ships were lined up. "Move it on the boat." "Here." Everyone worked together to move many weird things onto the boat. Pan Weizheng counted the time and breathed a sigh of relief, finally arriving from the Gobi Desert in Nanhetao. A junior high school student ran over and asked: "General Pan, I heard that Your Majesty will personally conquer Chanzhou?" "Who said that? Such rumors cannot be spread, but if we fight well this time, you will make great contributions." "Here." Everyone went down laughing. Suddenly, a large cloud of smoke and dust rose in the distance, almost covering the sky and the sun. Soon. Team after team of people rushed over and then disappeared into the sky. "Beiwei Army." "In front is General Jing Si." "Xianping Army." "That's General Yang Qiong." "Hey, there are so many Beiwei Army and Xianping Army, why not put them on the front line. Now "Look, there are 30,000 cavalry troops and General Ma Zhijie." These three armies are the secret weapons of the Song Dynasty. I'm afraid it's also the strongest regiment, and Pan Lianzheng's men once trained with them. The soldiers of the three corps had a hard time eating meat, but they were so greedy that their mouths watered. But he eats meat desperately. I don't know if hard training will have any impact on long-term health, but now these three forces have become stronger and more powerful after several years of changes. And the military discipline is strict, so many soldiers and horses walked by, and there was no sound on the avenue. The army that followed was slightly worse. There are cavalry, infantry, and Tibetan cavalry from various Tibetan tribes in Shaanxi, as well as three thousand Tubo cavalry supported by the Liugu tribe. Group after group of soldiers and horses walked over, and soon the Chinese army arrived, including generals Li Jilong, Qin Han, Gao Qiong, Shi Baoji, and Geng Quanbin. Li Jilong also learned about the imperial court's plan. In order to keep it secret when the plan was formulated, not many people knew about it. It had nothing to do with Xifu. The main reason was that Xifu's military capabilities were poor at that time, so it was formulated in Zhongshu. The people involved Only Song Jiu, Li Hang, Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong, Wang Huaji and Zhao Heng. To be precise, only these five people know the truth. Because Li Hang passed away. "However, there may be some relevant participating members who can vaguely guess a small number, but it is only a dozen or twenty people. It was not until a few months ago that Cao Wei and Li Jilong learned the truth, the specific plans, andPurpose. More people know now, but the Liao army has already reached Yizhou and is about to attack Daming Mansion. Li Jilong smiled and said hello: "Sanlang, it's so fast." "It's not good if it's not fast." "It doesn't matter, it's late, but be careful on the way, don't get into trouble because of being anxious." Then he continued eastward with countless officers and soldiers. There are two more routes, but the northernmost one has the fewest troops. Only Cao Bin and a group of guards hurried from Shengzhou to Feihu Pass. This position is extremely important. In history, because Feihu Pass was in the hands of the Liao people, they had to move from Gengcheng to Feihu Pass. Take the Tumen path in the south and mobilize troops to Dingzhou. And it was also a wrong deployment of troops. The decisive battlefield was not in Dingzhou. Dingzhou had enough troops. He exchanged a few words with Yang Yanyu, who was guarding Feihu Pass, and then used the rights given to him by the secret decree to write an order for Yang Yanyu to be handed over to Hu Yanzan, who was guarding Zijingguan, and then rushed to the Dingzhou camp. However, there are also many troops in the middle, including Lei Youzhong, veteran Qian Shoujun, Li Chongjie who was captured alive by Yang Ye, veteran Zhang Sijun, Zhou Renmei, Liu Yong, Li Qi, Tian Shaobin, Zhang Xu, Wei Zhaomin and other generals. Led the troops and horses from Jingxingguan in Taihang Mountain to rush towards Daming Mansion. Only a few generals Wang Hanzhong and Gao Jixun were left in Hedong, and only Fiji and others were left in Hexi. However, Hexi was the safest. Just when Gao Qiong transferred the main forces of Hexi and Hedong to the south for development, Zhe Weichang also launched an attack on the Liao army. , killing nearly a thousand Liao troops. After two major defeats, the Liao army behind the mountains did not dare to have any plans against Hedong. This battle is full of vigor, and at least 80% of all the important generals that can be used are here! If we include the nearly 20,000 Tibetan cavalry transferred from Shaanxi, as well as the troops from Hebei and the troops that will be used by the capital, the number of soldiers mobilized reaches 450,000. A nationwide battle! (To be continued)
