Chapter 30 Chapter Thirty
Yang Guan's family, who had just been enthroned by Zen, will succeed Zhao Guan's family, and will be conscripted by the royal family.It seems that all the emperors of the Central Plains are keen to lead the army in person, leading the Northern Expedition, and Bianliang, Tokyo is bustling again, and there is a rush of preparations for war everywhere.
Zhao Kuangyin's pile was closed for ten years, and his savings are really no small matter. Zhao Guangyi's previous Northern Expedition used lightning tactics. It's not big, so the savings are enough to support another national war. Inside and outside Tokyo, there are groups of horses and horses traveling from south to north, and there are mighty and fierce troops coming and going everywhere, or they are driving donkeys and horses to transport food and supplies. The brigade servant.
What is different from the past is that when the infantry of the brigade came and went in a hurry, there would often be thousands of horses trampling for a team of cavalry, and they swept past them like a gust of wind. But there is no such a large number of cavalry. These are Yang Hao's Xixia soldiers. Originally, the infantry of the Song Army was invincible in the world. They attacked the city of Youzhou from afar and killed the Sixth Route reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom. The defeated soldiers can effectively kill and injure and expand the results of the battle; if they cannot grasp the initiative of the battle situation, they must save the enemy if they attack, and lead the enemy by the nose.
Now that there are so many well-trained cavalry suddenly added, we have the advantage that the enemy does not have, and we also have the enemy's advantage. The result of the Northern Expedition again is really exciting. Although it has just gone through a big defeat, at least the scholars People are quite optimistic about this battle. In the streets and alleys, in Goulan restaurants, you can often hear them evaluating the chances of winning the official royal family's personal conquest.Of course, if this battle is still lost, I am afraid that the heaviest blow to the Central Plains will not be material, but psychological. From then on, the people of the Central Plains will suffer from Liaophobia. The Northern Dynasties used troops.
On the Bianhe River, there were also boats coming and going day and night. Under Zhao Guangyi's severe attack, the Four Gangs of Bianhe River disappeared and established an official water transport team. The Tang family spared no expense to fully support them, and even invested a large number of newly built warships and transport ships. , Enough to ensure the transportation of food from the south to the north and the transportation of various supplies for the army.
A small boat is moored quietly on the Bian River, and the lights of the Qianjin Yixiao Tower reflect the gold and silver on the river, making it a blur.
The corner door in the backyard of Qianjin Yixiao Building opened, and a few people came out, the two servants holding the lamps in front, and the three in the middle who looked slender and slender, they should be young women.Scattered snowflakes fell in the sky, and a woman walking beside held up an oil-paper umbrella in time, and held it above the head of the graceful young woman in the middle with a cloak on her shoulders.
A few people boarded the boat, with a push of the penny, the scull swayed slightly, left the shore with a splash, and swung gently into the distance.
The woman under the umbrella stood pretty on the bow of the boat, looking back at the Qianjin Yixiao Building, which was brightly lit like a fairyland on earth, stared at it for a long time, then turned her head again, looking in the direction of the palace.
After gazing again for a long time, the jade man at the bow sighed quietly and lowered his head sadly.
Snowflakes fell sporadically, gently brushing on the face, there was a burst of warm coolness, but there was no trace on the ground.
The boat swayed and sailed quietly to the south...
The cavalry rolled, and there was an endless stream of troops heading north, day and night. At this moment, another group of people and horses passed by. There were more than 5,000 people, all of whom were cavalry. Each of them had distinctive armor and shiny knives and guns. Looking at the equipment, it was more The average team still wins by three points. Although the number of this army is huge, it seems that it is only a vanguard force, because not long after they passed by, it was a mixed force of infantry and cavalry. It was late at night, and the army was always on the move. Honestly, the ordinary people who squatted at home for the whole night opened the door and looked out boldly, only to see that the marching team that had been marching since late at night had not yet finished. , without weapons in their hands, it seems really strange, behind them, there are ox carts, and I don't know what they are carrying. Followed by a group of cavalry, also without armor, a cloth robe, the horses are tall and strong, far taller than the Central Plains war horses, more than a big food BMW, walking very leisurely, as if not They went to fight, but went out to enjoy the spring. Behind them, there were also ox carts full of loads, and they were covered with coarse Gebu and straw curtains. They didn't know what they were. These people only felt a little strange, but they didn't know that these two groups of veteran soldiers were Yang Hao's famous heavy armored cavalry and Modao squad in the Western Regions. Since Yang Hao was determined to go to the Northern Expedition, how could he not bring this big killer weapon that was superior to them. As soon as he ascended the throne, he was conquered by himself, and he dared to leave the capital behind. This aspect demonstrated Yang Hao's confidence in controlling the Song Empire, and also let the subjects of the world see his courage. Zhao Pu, Lu Duoxun, and Ding Chengzong were left to preside over the government affairs of the Song Dynasty. Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun were the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty. It is enough to ensure the normal operation of this great empire, let alone two.Maybe there were intrigues and power struggles among them before, but at least now, they will definitely work together to maintain the good operation of this empire. In the first Zen of the empire, some vacant official positions inevitably appeared. The two old prime ministers were restored, and many old ministers who were implicated by them and dismissed from office would also be restored together. Hao is the king, but it is inevitable to get close to Qi Fu and their kindness. Yang Hao became the big shopkeeper, handed over the empire to their old prime ministers, and gave him a lot of trust. With just one move, the heart of the huge bureaucratic system of the entire empire from top to bottom was at ease, and the officials of the middle, middle and lower classes of the court were restored. The powers of local and local officials were delegated to them. On the one hand, they could stabilize and restore the order of the Song Dynasty as quickly as possible. On the other hand, it also made the two prime ministers inevitably re-establish factions. Yang Hao has been in the top position for a long time, and he has begun to unknowingly move the emperor's mind.As the saying goes, there are no factions in the party, there are all kinds of strange things, delusional thinking that everyone is public, and there is no selfishness. All officials in the world, regardless of their ranks, abandon their superiors and directly serve the emperor. At least Yang Hao will not have such a naive and ridiculous idea.Having been a leader for so long, he has gradually tasted the taste of it. Without factions, it is impossible. If there are factions, it is short-term bad and long-term good.If it continues like this, Zhao and Lu, the two big bosses of the Song Dynasty who share the same illness and love each other, will become more attached to him. While Ding Chengzong stayed in Bianliang, his main responsibility was to appease Bashu and recruit Wang Xiaobo's rebel army. The only other role was to make Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun fearful and work diligently.
Li Jilong had already pledged his allegiance to Yang Hao, although his performance was a little later than many officials who were waiting to see the wind. The sky has changed in the court. The two prime ministers of the previous dynasty have surrendered to Yang Hao. It's really embarrassing to hold a heavy soldier. Not long after the news of Tokyo's abdication came, he received an imperial edict from Yang Hao, recalling his extraordinary performance when the Song army retreated from the Liao Kingdom, praised him, and promoted him to the crown prince Shaobao, ordering him to continue guarding the border and waiting for the imperial army , launching a counterattack together. Immediately afterwards, the private letters of Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and the friends of Paoze in the army were also sent to his desk one by one, and then the family members of the Li family rushed over, and learned that the elder sister was still the queen mother, and the honor of the Li family did not weaken in the slightest. , even the incompetent nephew emperor, after he abdicated, he was conferred the title of King Pickaxe. Generally speaking, it is enough for the emperor to confer the title of duke. All of the above, Li Jilong is also a smart person, why doesn't he know what to do? Do you want to oppose it?Where can he go, unless he goes to the Northern Dynasty.What's more, although he didn't know that when Cao Bin and Pan Mei sent him a letter to persuade him to obey, he had already informed his confidant generals that Li Jilong would kill him if he had a different ambition. He has no foundation yet. When he was a courtier of the emperor, he held the seal of the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty, and behind him was the emperor with imperial power. The soldiers naturally obeyed his orders. If he really wanted to rebel, how many people would be willing to go with him is too questionable. So this list was also handed over. At this time, Li Jilong's enemy was Brother Yeluxiu's main force, and he was under a lot of pressure. Yang Hao's personal expedition will be here soon. Cao Bin led Luo Kedi and other generals of the Song Dynasty, as well as Tuoba Haofeng, Zhang Chongwei, and Ai Yihai, three Xixia generals, to Yanmenguan. It is Yang Jiye, Tong Yu, Li Huating and other cavalry troops, as well as the brigade of Song Guojun led by Pan Mei. Yang Hao vaguely remembered that in history, Yang Jiye took the initiative to send troops to lure the enemy in the first battle at Yanmenguan, but he was ambushed by the Liao soldiers and died. Pan Mei, the commander, did not wait for Yang Jiye who came to join him at the appointed time, so he ordered the troops to retreat , As a result, he was blamed for this, and was copied by later generations, and changed from the first general in the founding of the country to a nepotism high-ranking Pan Renmei Pan Taishi who only knew about framing Zhongliang. Yang Hao didn't want the two of them to repeat the same mistakes. When it comes to the style of using troops and building steadily, who can match Cao Bin, so he sent Cao Bin to Yanmen Pass, and he personally led the two generals to the Eastern Front . The State of Song was indeed in some trouble at this time. It was rumored that the soldiers and horses of the State of Jiaozhi were frequently mobilized a few days ago. Now it has been confirmed. State vassal.Yang Hao ignored them, the little commotion in the area of intercourse, in his opinion, was just ringworm and scabies, and the soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty were the serious troubles. Put them aside first, solve the north, and then deal with them. The Liao Kingdom seems to be thriving now. First, it won a complete victory, killing the 300,000 troops of the Song Dynasty, and even the emperor of the Song Dynasty, who was personally conquered by the emperor, died on the way to escape. The news came that Daliao The whole country is excited and rejoiced.The Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun also created some poems, songs, and slang tunes, mocking the Song army for coming in aggressively, and fleeing away with their heads in their arms. The Han people in the Northern Dynasties have lived there for many years. The common people, whoever gives them a stable life and allows them to live peacefully, they will support whoever they are. It can't bring them any benefits, they don't care whether the emperor is Zhao or Yelu, maybe some scholars will talk about the moonlight in their hometown when they sing the wind and the moon, but if they want to throw their heads and blood, it's the same. I can't find a few people. Now the Northern Dynasty is not bad for them. The politics are enlightened, and the status of the Han people is gradually improving. They also have imperial examinations, and they also enter the court as officials. The law also strictly prohibits all kinds of bad habits that discriminate against the Han people. , what else are they dissatisfied with? In the great victory of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Chuo immediately rewarded according to meritorious deeds, and punished those who failed. The rewards and punishments are clear, and the methods are sharp. , Putting on a demeanor of vowing to avenge the aggression of the Song people, and even going south in a large scale. As for Shangjing, after several years of governance and bloody cleansing, and the great victory in the Liao Kingdom, when the royal family's prestige suddenly soared, she couldn't imagine what would happen.What else could be the problem?Haven't enough people been killed in the past few years?Who still has the guts to still take the risk?All her energy is on the front. Brother Yeluxiu in front of him also cheered up and went all out. He has made great achievements and shined in history. He is in today's world. How can he not seize this opportunity? Brother Yeluxiu dispatched troops and generals to advance step by step with the strategy of encroachment, and fought steadily. At the same time, he mobilized elites from the Guards, Han Ruduo and Tielin Army to form a field force of 80,000 people. As the most elite unit that destroyed the Song Army's combat power.Li Jilong retreated to Dingzhou and divided his troops to blockade the fortress. There were only more than 10,000 horses stationed in Dingzhou, most of them were infantry, and there was also a cavalry. There are really too few horses on the country's side. This key equipment, which is regarded as the cavalry team of the main battle regiment, only has a thousand soldiers at full count. Li Jilong has been looking for an opportunity to counterattack. After learning the news of Yang Hao's personal conquest, he gave up the offensive tactically and entered an all-round defense, waiting for the main force of the Song army led by Yang Hao. But strategically, which position to give up, Which position to hold on to and which position to seize has been carefully considered. It seems that there is no rules, but in fact everything is to prepare for the counterattack. His prestige is not based on victory, but on the time of defeat. After a big defeat, the Song army completely collapsed and fled in total defeat. Only he and Luo Kedi's troops remained stable, and they could Using the terrain to engage in an ambush, covering the retreat of the brigade, avoiding greater casualties, and thus becoming famous in the first battle. But then Liu Tingrang was besieged in the middle plan, but he "will not save him", instead he retreated decisively. Liu Tingrang fought bloody, and finally escaped with only a few dozen horses. Soon, the fleeing soldiers returned one after another, which also confirmed that Brother Yeluxiu was indeed using Liu Tingrang as a bait, intending to lure him into the trap, and was forgiven by General Liu, but Li Jilong still felt very uncomfortable. He hoped that he would have the opportunity to win a big battle, beat Brother Yeluxiu viciously, and take revenge. Starting from Bianliang, Yang Hao arrived one step earlier than Cao Bin who rushed to Yanmen Pass, and led his army to set up camp in Anguo County, and then ordered Li Jilong who was stationed in Dingzhou to meet and discuss major issues together.Li Jilong arranged the defense of Dingzhou, led only a few dozen soldiers, and rushed to Anguo County to meet the new emperor temporarily. When he arrived at the camp where he was stationed, he saw flags and flags unfurling, a ten-mile battalion, a mighty army, boundless, Li Jilong couldn't help but feel refreshed, especially when he saw that the camp was full of vigorous horses, and the horses neighed one after another. , connected into one piece, making him even more envious.It's a pity that he is honored as an uncle of the country, and he is in charge of the elite border guards. His subordinates are full of tactics, and the cavalry has only a thousand-man regiment. Now the tens of thousands of horses are neighing in the camp, how spectacular it is.With the acquisition of Longyou in Hexi, the dilemma of the court without horses was easily solved, and it was no longer necessary to be constrained by the Northern Dynasty on the issue of war horses. Seeing Yang Hao for the first time, Li Jilong was not without anxiety. After all, he did not express his allegiance immediately, and he was an uncle of the emperor, so he did not know what the official's attitude towards him was. His attitude immediately dispelled his doubts. Although Yang Hao did not come out to greet him, but after seeing his attitude and mist, his words were even more confiding. Just now, seeing the power of Yang Hao's army and Pan Mei's presence, Li Jilong didn't think this was the case. It was Yang Hao's tactic to slow down his troops because he didn't want to change his generals in front of the battle. In Dingzhou, he has only a mere ten thousand people, and even a handful of his confidantes. With such a huge army as Yang Hao, there is no need to worry about changing generals.Even if you have such scruples, it depends on who is changing. If you want to deal with him, you just need to push Pan Mei up. With Pan Mei's prestige and authority in the army for many years, she is definitely more capable than him in controlling the border guards. It will not demoralize the armed forces. Seeing that Yang Hao's attitude is sincere, and since five generations ago, there are many examples of serving the current dynasty as a member of the dynasty, Li Jilong was worried, so he calmed down, and all the generals gathered together to discuss military affairs before the emperor. There are so many treasures, and even the geographical conditions of a small ridge and a stream can be said to be exactly the same. After introducing the situation of the former enemy, Li Jilong said: "Officials, the Liao people have always relied on their sturdy cavalry, which come and go like flying, and deceived our Han infantry to be slow, forcing us to use formations to defend against the enemy. Today, I entered the camp , Seeing that our army has countless horses, all of which are steeds, the situation of offense and defense is also easy. I would like to invite you to be the vanguard, and defeat the Northern Dynasty with a majestic army." After Yang Hao heard him introduce the situation of the former enemy, he kept frowning and pondering. When he heard him ask for a battle, he shook his head slightly and said in confusion: "Your family, listen to what you just said about the enemy's movements, and have been advancing step by step, even a few days ago. Didn’t there appear to be any other changes before and after I moved toward walking meditation?” Speaking of abdication, Yang Hao was calm, but Li Jilong was a little uncomfortable. He nodded slightly embarrassed and said, "Exactly." A strange look flashed across Yang Hao's face, and he murmured: "Could it be that... the Central Plains has changed so drastically that the Northern Dynasty didn't know about it?" As soon as these words came out, both Yang Jiye and Pan Meiqi were moved. After Li Jilong was slightly astonished, he also came to his senses, and his eyes couldn't help bursting out with two divine lights: "The opportunity seems to have come!"
The cavalry rolled, and there was an endless stream of troops heading north, day and night. At this moment, another group of people and horses passed by.

As soon as these words came out, both Yang Jiye and Pan Meiqi were moved. After Li Jilong was slightly astonished, he also came to his senses, and his eyes couldn't help bursting out with two divine lights: "The opportunity seems to have come!"
