More than ten days later, the Song army has basically arrived at all walks of life, in the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River gathered 600,000 troops, this number far exceeded Li Liangzuo and Yelu Nerugu's expectations, and the follow-up soldiers and horses continue to rush here, the entire Yellow River defense line was impermeable by the Song army, not to mention tens of thousands of Eastern Liao troops, even a bird can not fly over Although the defense is so tight, but still can not prevent the people of the Great Song Dynasty from panicking, the people of the Great Song Dynasty south of the Yellow River also began to move their families.
In the camp of the Song army on the south bank of the Yellow River, the old marshal Wang Shao is holding a military meeting, it is not easy to command the 600,000 Song army, in order to prevent the Eastern Liao army from crossing the river, Wang Shao can be said to have worked hard, Wang Shao sat on the handsome seat and said to the generals: "The generals have now reached the moment of life and death, although the Eastern Liao army is less than us, but the enemy army is mostly cavalry, so we do not have any advantage in the field; The only way to do this was to destroy the enemy before they could cross the Yellow River. ” A veteran general stood up and said: "The marshal is reasonable, but in this case, our army will have to fight a water war, and in this case, we will have to come from the southern water transfer division." ” A young general sitting in the corner pursed his lips after listening, and muttered a sentence in his mouth, although Wang Shao did not hear what the young general said clearly, but the sharp-eyed Wang Shao could see at a glance that the young general had a different opinion, so Wang Shao asked the young general: "The little guy sitting in the corner, you tell Ben Shuai, I saw you unconvinced just now, is there any bad idea in your stomach?"
The young general came out and said: "Boss, there is no bad idea, there is a bad idea." ” As soon as the young general's voice fell, causing everyone to laugh, Wang Shao asked the young general: "Then if you have any bad ideas, just say it, let Ben Shuai and the generals listen to it." ” "Yes."
The young general commanded; "Marshal, generals, the last general thinks that it is impossible to prevent the Eastern Liao Army from crossing the Yellow River and calling the water division, the reason is very simple, it will take at least nearly a month for the Jiangnan Navy Division to go north, and the Eastern Liao Army would have already fought at this time; Therefore, the last general will not use water divisions for this battle. ” "Then you have an idea," Wang Shao asked the young general.
The young general replied: "The last general thinks that the best way to prevent the Eastern Liao army from crossing the Yellow River is to bow and arrow, the last general asks for orders to organize all the archers into an army, and put catapults on the banks of the Yellow River, as long as the Eastern Liao army dares to attack, our army can use catapults to counterattack first, and then the bow and crossbow troops quickly support to prevent the Eastern Liao army from landing; In addition, the last general asked for the construction of a watchtower every three or five miles on the bank of the Yellow River, with flags during the day and lights at night, so as to monitor the movements of the Eastern Liao army."
After the young general answered, Wang Shao clapped his hands and applauded: "Okay, good, easy to say, generals, what do you think of this young general's plan?"
Even Wang Shao applauded, and the following generals dared to say that it was not good, so those present said that there were generals who applauded, and everyone stopped applauding under Wang Shao's signal, and Wang Shao asked the young general: "Little general, what is your name, where are you?"
The young general replied: "The last general planted the master, a person from Luoyang." ” Wang Shao immediately exclaimed: "It turns out that you are the son of Shiheng, no wonder you have such a talent at a young age, I thought that I led the army together with your father in the northwest back then, but I didn't expect your father to him."
When everyone heard that the seed master was the son of the seed master, their eyes were full of awe, which showed the high prestige of the seed master in the Song army, and the seed master said to Wang Shao: "When the last general was young, he often heard his father talk about his uncle, and it is the honor of his nephew to be able to listen to his uncle's teachings today. ” Wang Shao was very happy to hear the words of the seed master, and Wang Shao said to the seed master in front of the generals: "Virtuous nephew, don't go, serve as a deputy general under the tent of this commander." ” "My nephew thanks my uncle, but my nephew wants to go to the front and doesn't want to stay in the barracks."
Seed Master Dao said to Wang Shao.
Wang Shao laughed and said: "Virtuous nephew, don't worry, follow Ben Shuai's side, there will definitely be a chance for you to go to the battlefield." ” At the same time, in the Zichen Hall of Bianliang in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty, a court meeting is underway, and now the Eastern Liao army has drunk the Yellow River, although there are 600,000 Song troops have been deployed on the south bank of the Yellow River, but this did not reassure these fat heads and big-eared court officials, what is the army of the Great Song Dynasty, these officials know best, no one can stop the Eastern Liao army from going south, of course, there are exceptions, that is, Song Shenzong Zhao Hao and Changwang Zhao Hao sitting on the dragon chair, these two are the emperor, the other is the prince, and they are both young and vigorous.
Lu Gongzhu stood up and said to Song Shenzong: "Your Majesty, Weichen knows that there are some things that Your Majesty doesn't want to hear, but as a courtier, Weichen has something to say, Your Majesty has been effective since the implementation of the law change, but the Northern Expedition is too hasty, and now the Eastern Liao Army has penetrated deep into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty, although there are 600,000 troops of our Great Song Dynasty on the south bank of the Yellow River, but now our army's armament is not the opponent of the Eastern Liao Army."
When King Chang heard this, he immediately retorted: "Lord Lu is surprised by this, our army has 600,000 troops, and the Eastern Liao army adds up to only 50,000 or 60,000 people, and my Great Song Dynasty can't destroy them with ten times the number, not to mention the 100,000 Xia troops of our allies in Zhending Mansion."
As soon as King Chang's words fell, another official, Fan Chunren, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the ancients Yun Junzi did not stand under the dangerous wall, and now the cavalry of the Eastern Liao Army is only one Yellow River moat from Bianliang. ” Although Song Shenzong was very tough, but he was also very weak-hearted, after all, the thirty armies were almost wiped out by others, and now although there are 600,000 troops, but this is also put together, what the combat power is Song Shenzong himself has no bottom in his heart, but Song Shenzong still said very strongly: "I will not leave, I will die here." ” Song Shenzong brushed his sleeves away after speaking, and the hundred officials were helpless in the face of Shenzong's tough attitude, and now Wang Anshi and Xu Xi have fled to Bianliang, and the two were arrested by Song Shenzong's order as soon as they arrived in Bianliang, and now the two are being detained in the prison; After Song Shenzong went down to the court, he walked around the imperial garden twice and was said by his henchman eunuch Li Xian: "Li Xian, you go to the heavenly prison with my holy decree and bring Wang Anshi and Xu Xi over to see me." ” "Yes, the minion commands."
Li Xian immediately took the order and left.
With Song Shenzong's holy decree, Li Xian quickly brought Wang Anshi and Xu Xi out of the heavenly prison, and came to the imperial garden of the palace. ” Song Shenzong waved his hand and said: "The two of you lost your teacher and humiliated the country, and you should have been beheaded to show the public, but I will be exempted from the death penalty for the sake of your two meritorious service to the country, but the living crime is inescapable, Wang Anshi will be demoted to Qizhou group training from now on, Xu Xi will be demoted to Yanzhou group training, and the two of you can go to work."
"Guilty Minister, Thank Your Majesty Longen."
The two took the military order.
Thanks to Chen Huawei for his recommendation, Tianyu is grateful, and I hope you will support you a lot:
