Chapter 1886 The Bad News of Liao(1/2)
In Youzhou City, Zhao Shu began to analyze the situation as soon as he settled down.
The messenger is introducing the process of this battle.
"In the first battle, the Duke of Guo ordered the Tianwu Army to attack, with only 5,000 people. The enemy general Xiao Ding was known as a powerful general and had a hot temper. So he attacked, trying to defeat the Tianwu Army and then return to the city. The Tianwu Army got off the horse and lined up, and Xiao Ding lost all his remaining caution, and ordered the entire army to attack. Then he was caught off guard by muskets and was in chaos. The Duke of Guo led a large army to come and covered the killing..."
"The Liao army in Datong City built an inner city, fifty steps away from the outer city..."
When Zhao Shu found that the generals were all solemn, he asked, "Isn't it easy to attack?"
Commander Hu Xin said, "Your Majesty, when our army attacks the city of the outer city, it will be shot and killed by the Liao army with a wait-to-be-hard bow and arrow. Even if it is held back, after going down, there will be countless soldiers gathered at fifty steps, and the enemy can kill people by throwing a stone at will."
The envoy said: "Yes, but our army was the musketeers who took the lead in the city and suppressed the opponent with a volley. Then the crossbowman climbed the city and covered the top of the city... The enemy had no chance to raise his head at all, let alone throw stones."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The laughter seemed particularly abrupt, but when everyone looked at it, it was Cao Qi.
"Hahahaha...uh!" Cao Qi couldn't help but be happy when he learned that his good brother had made military achievements. After being stared at by everyone, he laughed dryly.
Mom sells a purchase!
Why are you unhappy?
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The king and his subjects laughed loudly.
"What a Shen An! What a Shen An!" Zhao Shu said happily: "I am still worried, but he uses the firearm so sharply. As expected, he still has to command the firearm, okay!"
"What did I say?" Zhao Shu couldn't hide his pride, "Did I say that Shen An would definitely sweep across Xijing Road soon?"
Everyone was stunned and immediately flattered.
"Your Majesty sees Wanli clearly!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
“…”
Only Cao Qi was stunned.
Is this what Wen Yanbo said?
Can the emperor be shameless?
Look, the official smiles so proudly, Wen Yanbo looks like a constipation with a 'official wise'; Fu Bi smiles, and seems to be gloating...
"After the Xijing Road, then the Zhongjing Road will be. Yelu Hongji should be ready." Zhao Shu looked at the map, "I will talk to Yelu Hongji after leaving Zunhua."
This was very heroic. Wen Yanbo asked: "Officials, should we wait for Shen An and Wang Qun's army to come?"
This is a relatively safe way.
Zhao Shu shook his head, "Yelu Hongji has come out. The Liao people have been frustrated for several years. Yelu Hongji's prestige has fallen to the bottom. If he is still passively beaten this time, the morale of the Liao army will be gone.
So he will take the initiative to boost morale. If we don’t move, he will attack Zunhua, and our army will be passive at that time. So it’s better to take the initiative to face the enemy and rely on Zunhua as a support to protect the food route."
"Your Majesty is wise."
This analysis was very convincing. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "This is the truth analyzed by a group of martial arts students."
"It turned out to be them?" Wen Yanbo felt a little uncomfortable.
The reconstruction of martial arts was a provocation for the old party. It would be fine if it was silent, but after the reconstruction of martial arts, the momentum was amazing and extremely unpleasant.
If you are unhappy, you are unhappy. This time, Zhao Shu ordered Cao Qi to accompany the army with a group of students to praise paintings.
These students spent the whole day looking at maps and messages, analyzing the enemy's movements based on various news, and then giving suggestions.
"Your Majesty, why do I think these students are more effective than the officials of the Privy Council?"
Fu Bi has shown his knife!
Last time, Wen Yanbo and others wanted to use his son-in-law Feng Jing to kill him, which was considered Duizi. Later, the matter failed, but Liangzi got married.
This time, many officials accompanied the Privy Council, and they also had the responsibility of praising paintings, but so far, they have not seen any outstanding features.
Fu Bi's knife was quickly and hated, and he was at the level of the leader.
Wen Yanbo smiled and said, "You have specialized in your profession, but you only talk about martial arts on paper."
Fu Bi smiled and said, "I heard that there are many courses in martial arts, whether it is praise or other things, they are very powerful. The Privy Council is very impressive under the leadership of Wen Xiang. I think this time I will shine."
This is a secret criticism.
If the Privy Council fails to become a weapon in the future, Fu Bi will use these words to assassinate Wen Yanbo.
This is the second knife.
Zhao Shu glanced at Fu Bi and felt that it was almost done.
If you insert it, Wen Yanbo is covered in knife all over his body, which is not very sensible.
"Let's go."
...
Zezhou.
A huge cavalry marching.
Yelu Hongji was in the central army, and news kept coming.
"Your Majesty, Emperor Song has arrived at Xijin Mansion."
"Zhao Shu is here."
Yelu Hongji looked at the old age a lot. He narrowed his eyes and looked at the army that could not see the border, and said, "He wants to completely defeat the Liao Dynasty in one battle and reshape the so-called majesty of the Han and Tang Dynasties, but my 300,000 army will not agree! I will not agree!"
The Northern Privy Councilor Xiao Mingyin, who was beside him, said: "Your Majesty, the Song people should also know the news of our army's expedition. I think the Song people will attack."
"Zhao Shu doesn't dare!" The Southern Privy Councilor Yelu Ling sneered: "Will the 300,000 army be faced with Emperor Song? What kind of firearm is useless in front of the sea of people!"
Yelu Hongji agrees with this.
When there are countless people, any weapon is in vain and just use the sea of people to subdue it.
"The key is to look at Xijing Road." Xiao Mingyin did not argue with Yelu Ling, and said, "Xijing Road was sandwiched between the Song people, and he must have been besieged at this moment."
"Of course." said Xiao Ju, the king of the North Court, "Otherwise, Emperor Song would not dare to attack."
Chen Jinhe, the king of the South Courtyard, said: "Xijing Road is still there. If Emperor Song dares to attack, they can attack Emperor Song from behind."
This is the significance of the current existence of Xijing Road, which restrains the army of the Song Dynasty.
Yelu Hongji was excited and said, "If Emperor Song does not dare to attack, then we will go directly to Zunhua, fight down, and then attack based on this."
If the 300,000 troops go to war, it is best to find a stronghold, whether it is to store food and grass or hoard troops.
The army marched forward and began camping in the afternoon.
"Be careful about the surroundings." Yelu Hongji personally inspected the camp and checked the situation everywhere.
"Is there any mutton?" he asked in front of a stove.
The sergeant who cooked opened the lid of the pot, which was fragrant inside.
"Okay!" For this expedition, Yelu Hongji spent countless money and food, prepared enough, and brought many sheep with him in a luxurious manner.
The flock of sheep bleated. At this moment, there were already tender grass on the grassland, and they were eating all the way. At night, part of it turned into a soup pot, and part of it was still alive.
Yelu Hongji's food is naturally different, and a large bowl of stewed lamb chops.
The tender lamb chops have a little mutton smell. For many people, lamb has no mutton smell. Is that still called lamb?
After dinner, Yelu Hongji called someone to discuss the matter.
"The Emperor Song has decided to lead the army, less than 200,000."
"There are only so many elite troops in the Song army, no matter how many, it is useless."
"It's not useless. They followed behind, seemingly just transporting food and grass, but once they fight, they will become an army. Your Majesty, be careful of the country soldiers."
Yelu Hongji nodded, "I know. But the important thing in this battle is the firearms of the Song people, their... artillery is invincible, so once an attack is launched, you must be decisive. Even if there are all wolves in front of you, you must fight bravely and tell the soldiers that you must show off your spirit!"
"yes!"
Everyone agreed.
"Is the news from Xijing Road coming?"
"Your Majesty, not yet."
Yelu Hongji nodded and lowered his eyes slightly, and eyebrows appeared.
The Northern Privy Councilor Xiao Mingyin said: "Your Majesty, you must pay attention to your health."
"I am in good health, and you don't need your attention!" Yelu Hongji's eyes were cold, and he stabbed in like a spike.
The body of an emperor is never a topic to mention. The Great Liao Dynasty was not the Great Song Dynasty. The ministers were proud of criticizing dragon scales. Bao Zheng even washed the emperor's face with saliva and became famous in one battle.
In Daliao, you can try spraying some saliva?
Lao Ye promises that you will wash your wolves' face.
