Chapter 439: The Counterattack of the Seed Master Dao (I)


"The last general will plant the master to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother Chitose, Chitose, Chitose.

"Aiqing, get up quickly," Empress Dowager Gao said politely; "Come and sit for Aiqing."

"Empress Dowager Xie."

After the planter thanked him, he sat on the chair with half his ass, and he didn't dare to sit down.

"Chong Aiqing, the current situation, King Cao should have told you, according to your opinion, how should I, Da Song, deal with the current crisis?"

"Empress Dowager, the battle line that poses a mortal threat to our Great Song Dynasty is now on the Eastern Front, not the Western Front and the Northern Front; The northern line is too far away from Bianjing and is contained by the Liao army, so it will not go south for the time being; Although Guanzhong fell on the western front, it was thousands of miles away to reach Bianjing, and there was also Xijing Luoyang as a barrier; The Xia army on the eastern front is a cross-sea battle, but its mobility is bound to be very strong, and our army is almost unsafe to defend in the east, and the road to Bianjing is unimpeded, and the Xia army is mainly cavalry, and our army is not an opponent in the field, so the general thinks that the enemy on the eastern front is the most dangerous. ” "What is Aiqing's response?"

"According to the opinion of the last general, if you want to defeat the Xia army on the Eastern Front, you must first stabilize the Western Front; The main forces of the Xia army are now gathered in Guanzhong, and they may rush out at any time, so it is necessary to completely block the Xia army in the Guanzhong area; Then free up his hands to deal with the Xia army on the Eastern Front, so as to force the Xia army to the negotiating table. ” "Tell me about your specific plans."

Empress Dowager Gao continued.

"If you want to block the Xia army in the pass, the best way is to recapture Hangu Pass, and now the Xia army is still building Hangu Pass, which is the best fighter at this time, and the last general will ask for orders to lead the army to recapture Hangu Pass; In addition, please ask the Queen Mother to choose a general to go to the Eastern Front to block the Xia army, just entangle it, and after the end of the general recaptures Hangu Pass, he will lead the army to gallop to the Eastern Front battlefield, "The plan of planting the master road is tantamount to the best choice for the current Great Song Empire, but whether it can be implemented is another question.

"The mourning family agreed, but Aiqing on the Eastern Front thought who should be sent."

Empress Dowager Gao asked the seed master.

The seed master said to the Empress Dowager Gao: "The Empress Dowager must have enough prestige, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager must give her extremely high rights, and the eastern state capitals must obey this person and grant him military and political powers; Only in this way can the unity of the people be able to block the Xia army. ” Zhao Yan knelt on the ground and said, "Erchen is willing to go to the east to fight the enemy." ” After thinking for a long time, Empress Dowager Gao said: "Cao Wang Zhao listened to the order, and the mourning family appointed you as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses and the general manager of the East Road camp, in charge of the military and political power of Jingdong East Road, Jingdong West Road, Hebei East Road, Hebei West Road, and Gyeonggi Road; You can recruit your own soldiers. ” "The Decree of the Sons" "The seed master obeyed the order, and the mourning family appointed you as the head of the camp on the West Road, in charge of the military and political power of the North Jingxi Road and the South Jingnan Road, and allowed you to transfer troops from the above two places, and also gave you the right to recruit troops, and the number of recruits was reported to the imperial court."

"The last general's decree, Empress Dowager Xie."

"The rest of the matter, you two go down and discuss, mourn the lack of family."

"The son will retire at the end" Although the head of the camp on the West Road is only a temporary official position, this official position is too great, and the military and political power in charge of the two roads is a real feudal official; This also shows Empress Dowager Gao's trust in the way of the planter.

Bianjing Song Army Camp, here is the Janissary Guard camp stationed in Bianjing, now in this huge military camp has basically been ten rooms and nine empty, most of the Song army has been transferred to the front line, now the Song army stationed in Bianjing is only more than 70,000 people, but these 70,000 troops are all newly trained Shenji battalion, and there is a 30,000 Song army cavalry elite, this cavalry unit is Song Shenzong at a high price, the reason why it was not all sent to the battlefield, mainly because this army has not been finally organized into an army.

The Shenji Battalion has trained a total of 100,000 troops, except for 30,000 troops who followed Song Shenzong into Jingzhao Mansion to protect its safety, the rest of the 70,000 troops are all here; This 70,000 army can be said to be the last straw of the Great Song Empire, although the 70,000 army cannot recover the lost territory and completely defeat the Xia army, but as long as it is used properly, it is still no problem to block the offensive of the Xia army.

"Lord Wang, now I only have these 70,000 soldiers of the Divine Machine Battalion who can fight in the Great Song Dynasty, and the rest of the soldiers and horses needed still need to be recruited on the spot; The last general means to divide the more than 70,000 troops into east and west, with the last general leading 30,000 troops to the west to recapture Hangu Pass, and the 40,000 troops led by the prince to the east to contain the 50,000 Xia troops who landed across the sea. ” "General, is 30,000 troops enough, you must know that the Xia army also has 200,000 soldiers and horses in Guanzhong, so this king will give you 40,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 iron cavalry, a total of 50,000 troops; The other 20,000 cavalry is led by the king to the east to contain the Xia army, as long as the general can quickly rush to the aid after the surprise attack on Hangu Pass, there should be no problem on the king's side. ” "In this case, then thank you to the prince."

The seed master thanked him, after all, the strength of the Xia army was recognized, and the more diverse the soldiers and horses, the more sure they were.

In the early morning of the next day, the two of them, Dao and Zhao Yan, led their troops in the east and west directions respectively; At the same time, Gao Wei led 50,000 coalition soldiers from Binzhou all the way south, the army has arrived in Qizhou Licheng, the coalition army camped outside the city of Licheng, Licheng did not surrender to other cities like Kaicheng, Gao Wei climbed an unnamed mountain outside Licheng and said: "The Song army in the city has been fully armed, and it is not easy for our army to attack, so the army is ordered to rest for one night today and go around the city tomorrow." ” "Yes, sir."

Gao Wei naturally knows the truth of the speed of soldiers, he has wasted three days in Binzhou, Gao Wei no longer cares about the gains and losses of a city and a pool, Gao Wei wants soldiers to come to Bianjing City, and coerce the Great Song Dynasty to surrender unconditionally by force, and the cavalry unit led by Gao Wei is like a knife arranged by Li Liangzuo in advance, and it is going straight to Bianjing, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty.

Two days later, Cao Wang Zhao Yan led 30,000 Song troops to Puzhou, and the coalition army has arrived in Yanggu, the two armies are separated by about one hundred and fifty miles, Gao Wei never thought that the Song army dared to take the initiative to send troops to meet himself, after arriving in Puzhou, Zhao Yan recruited troops on the spot, and transferred the Guangji army stationed in Dingtao to come, although the combat effectiveness of the Xiang army is not very strong, but it is always much stronger than the people who have just put down the hoe.

In order to prevent the allied cavalry from continuing southward, Zhao Yu took Puzhou as the core and formed a defensive line with Kaeduk Province in the northwest and Jeju City in the southeast, and the main defense was located in Puzhou and Kaideok Province; In the face of the Song army's defensive front, Gao Wei temporarily stayed in Yanggu for a while, the main reason is that the grain and grass of the coalition army have been exhausted, Gao Wei needs to replenish the grain and grass for the army, 50,000 cavalry people eat horses and chew, the daily need of grain and grass is not, but it is not something that a small Yanggu City can bear, so Gao Wei had to send troops to the surrounding villages to loot, but the Xia army is not everyone to rob, the main robbery is those rich and unkind big landlords.

In order to achieve the effect of a surprise attack, this time the Seed Master Dao used the tactics of the Xia army, and the main force of the Song army continued to move westward, while the Seed Master Dao led 10,000 iron cavalry to the west secretly, preparing to raid Hangu Pass.
