Chapter 601 The Necessity of the Royal Expedition
Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying. He wanted the bullets to fly for a while and let Zhao Ying finish what he wanted to say.
Zhao Ying said with a trepidation: "When the official family was invading Hedong Road, I was always worried about the safety of the official family. When the official family arrived at the head of Ningwu Pass, when Wanyan Zonghan rushed up with a ghost mask, my heart was raised to his throat."
"Official family, our Song Dynasty has money, some people, food, and people's hearts, and you can fight slowly. You don't need to be in charge of the imperial army, go to the front line in person."
Zhao Ying was considering Zhao Huan's personal safety. He looked at the emperor with a bitter expression and continued, "The official family is better if you don't go. Just be in Yanjing. We are already on the front line. Last year, Wanyan Loushi was thinking about rushing to Yanjing and looking for the official family."
Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying, sighed, pointed to the geometric map and said, "If we can replicate the Ningwu Pass's move to lure the enemy and lure Wanyan Zongwang out of the city to fight like Wanyan Zonghan, how many fewer casualties will our generals and soldiers in the Song Dynasty?"
Liaoyang City is not easy to fight, so you must defend the city five things and everything is complete.
Like the Bianjing City in the past, if you want to capture such a city, you will need extremely heavy casualties and even need a long-term siege to capture it.
If the city is sieged for a long time, there will be a lot of uncertainty and will be easily surrounded by enemies from Huanglong Mansion and Huining Mansion.
Zhao Huan did not want this battle to fail to attack Liaoyang, so he took such a move, but Zhao Ying and Yuwen Xuzhong were extremely opposed.
Not to mention the court officials of Bianjing, this must have been an objection from Yishui.
"The official family is kind." Yuwen Xuzhong bowed his head and said, "But I still think that the official family is better in Yanjing and will not give the Jin people any chance."
Zhao Huan thought for a long time and insisted: "I still decided to lead the imperial army to personally fight, come to the state to reward the three armies."
"Zhao Ying, you prepare three million taels of silver dollars and some food from Yanjing. I still plan to go."
Yuwen Xuzhong looked at Zhao Huan's determination on his face and knew that the official family had already settled their minds and was determined to go to Laizhou after eating the weight.
"Does the official insist on going?" Yuwen Xuzhong said a little lost.
Zhao Huan nodded and said, "Of course!"
"Then go." Yuwen Xuzhong suddenly smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the official family goes there. After a year of reclaiming the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, the straight road is actually very convenient. It only takes two days to get from Yanjing to Laizhou."
"Besides, Wang Bing is in Laizhou, what else can happen? Wanyan Zongwang may not dare to come to the state to find trouble for Wang Bing."
"Mr. Yuwen understands why I want to come to the state?" Zhao Huan looked at the smile on Yuwen Xuzhong's face and asked curiously.
Yuwen Xuzhong nodded and smiled and said, "Officials emphasize literature over military affairs."
"Mr. Yuwen is worthy of being a minister who plans the country." Zhao Huan and Yuwen Xuzhong blew each other, smiling.
From Zhao Kuangyin's use of literature to suppress martial arts, to Zhao Guangyi's emphasis on civil and military arts.
The massive suppression of warriors has become the trend of the Song Dynasty and the political correctness of the Song Dynasty.
If you want to change this trend, it is far from enough to get back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. You must destroy the Jin Kingdom.
It was precisely based on this consideration that Zhao Huan made up his mind to go to Laizhou and stand up for the soldiers themselves. On the one hand, it was Zhao Huan's idea to change the court atmosphere.
In the letter Li Qingzhao's letter to herself, it said that the fourth mirror of the Song Dynasty was the Jin Kingdom!
If the value of the Jin Kingdom is not drained, the Jin people will not leave so peacefully.
Yuwen Xuzhong sighed. In the past four years since the official ascended the throne, he has worked hard to govern the country and is determined to reform the old and make innovations and change the bad habits of the Song Dynasty. It is really the style of Emperor Taizu of Song.
"Then let's make up that. Zhao Ying, you and Mr. Yuwen cooperated with each other to prepare. When we received the good news in Kunyi Prefecture, we will set out to the prefecture." Zhao Huan nodded and said.
Zhao Huan was very clear in his heart. He could not take risks without Yue Fei coming to the state.
If some historical wheel rolls away and the general trend replicates the Jingkang shame of the original historical line, it will be difficult to resist.
Yuwen Xuzhong looked at the official family and said, "The official family must agree. If Wanyan Zongwang had not completed the Liaoyang encirclement, the elite troops would come out to attack Laizhou, and the official family would leave Laizhou as soon as possible, and don't let the soldiers be held back."
Zhao Huan nodded and agreed to the agreement.
"If the Jin people leave Liaoyang City, it will be a decisive battle in advance. Our Song army had just defeated Wanyan Zongbi in the field, and regained the strategy of seducing the enemy in Ningwu Pass, and was in line with the bottom of his mind. If the Jin people did not leave Liaoyang City, they could also improve morale."
"I inform the historian, if I am really forced by Wanyan Zongwang and escape from the state city, remember not to write about escape, just say transfer. Well, just use this word."
Turning in? What kind of tricks are you playing? Yuwen Xuzhong looked confused. There is no such story in classic historical books.
Yuwen Xuzhong thought for a while and asked, "Officials, should we increase troops when we come to the state? Wang Bing only has 30,000 Jiesheng Zhengjun, 20,000 Khitan Zhengjun, and 20,000 to 30,000 auxiliary troops. Even the official family can't bring many people, so he can only bring about 10,000 Yanjing Zhengjun. If it is necessary to transfer troops, Goryeo needs to inform you earlier and make arrangements sooner."
Zhao Huan shook his head, this little guy was enough.
Yuwen Xuzhong nodded meaningfully, with a smile on his face.
"Why are you laughing at?" Zhao Huan looked at Yuwen Xuzhong with curiosity. Is this problem very serious?
He was not going to make trouble, so he would naturally not interrupt Shen Cong and Yang Zaixing's battle in front of the formation. Mobilizing the Yanjing army of Goryeo would disrupt the general's deployment.
"Since Emperor Taizong, he has been defending the inside and the outside, strong and weak branches, and the officials do not increase their troops, which means that the officials do not agree with this... policy theory. I do not agree with this policy very much." Yuwen Xuzhong's words were astonishing, pointing out the intention behind this issue.
Zhao Huan then realized that his feelings were dug for himself here.
Behind every question these top ministers asked was the test of the emperor's determination and the emperor's ruling philosophy.
The fact that Zhao Huan decided to personally lead the army again was very magical in Bianjing City. After all, the official's personal battle of Hedong Road was there.
No one would not believe that the emperor would fail. The most pessimistic estimate of public opinion among the public will at most lose.
The optimism of public opinion among the public is actually the same as Zhao Guangyi’s personal conquest of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.
Unfortunately, Zhao Guangyi at that time failed the expectations of the people of the Song Dynasty.
The most serious strategic problem is that Zhao Guangyi himself is as optimistic as the people.
Zhao Huan always remembered the combat principle given to him by Master Zhong, that is, to be determined to lose without considering victory, so that he can never win.
He arranged for the Mulan boat from the Jinkou Maritime Bureau to accompany him to the prefecture.
The Song Dynasty naval army all came from Yang Yao’s Jinghu naval army, and its combat effectiveness in water battles is to be tested.
The Song Dynasty naval army had a long way to go. Although Zong Ze was in Jinghu, He Li was in Liangzhe and Liangjiang, Fan Ruwei was in Fujian, Guangdong and Guangxi established many naval army training camps.
But it is still a long time before the flowering and fruiting, so I can only get together and get on the boat.
Therefore, there is only one purpose for Mulan Boat to accompany him. If the war is not going well, he will be able to accept the emperor of the Song Dynasty at any time.
The people of the Song Dynasty even had the purpose of watching the show when they accompanied Mulan Boat.
They hoped to see the Emperor of Song, who was invincible for battle, be able to flee in a hurry on the sea.
The emperor who is too dazzling is not the official family they are familiar with.
…………………………
Benxi is an iron mountain that has been used since the Han Dynasty. The iron material is of very high quality. Anshan Iron Mountain is not far from Benxi Iron Mountain.
You can see wild people carrying coal picking up their backs and heading towards the iron mountain everywhere.
Chen Xing led 5,000 soldiers to chase Wanyan Zongbi who was fleeing in a hurry. The wild people along the way looked at him numbly and continued on the path towards Tieshan.
Wanyan Zongbi was in a panic. When Chen Xing led his troops to Benxi, Wanyan Zongbi took away some iron materials from Benxi and ran back to Liaoyang City.
Chen Xing stopped and looked at Tieshan in front of him. He frowned because he smelled the pungent smoke and fire.
"The idea of the official's plan to make a decision here has failed. I'm afraid the official can't stand the smoke."
"The Jin people's iron smelting method is rough enough. Such a good iron, so he used such a thing as a weapon?"
Chen Xing finished stabbing a golden man who was trampled by a barracks. He looked at the weapon in the golden man's hand and sneered.
A thing that looked like a hammer or a mace was firmly held in the hands of the dead golden man.
"Benxi and Anshan are all iron mountains around Liaoyang. The iron materials are of high quality and dangerous terrain. Since ancient times, it has been a place that must be fought for by military strategists and also the gate of Liaoyang." A playful female voice took off her bag and took out a booklet and said.
Wen Ying, she said that Chen Xing was wherever she was. She didn't want to break her promise.
"I didn't expect that you, a female, would have two tricks to marching and fighting." Zhao Xing first affirmed Wen Ying's role in combat.
Not to mention Wen Ying's skillful bowing skills, he is still good at kung fu. He is not very accurate in riding and shooting, but he is still the best in the army.
"That's right, who said women are inferior to men? Women are not as good as men!" Wen Ying said proudly, jumped off the horse, cut off the golden man's ears, and placed them in his belt.
"That's my spoil..." Chen Xing stretched out his hand.
The Jin man obviously fell off his horse and was trampled by the Jin man and was half dead. Chen Xing also picked up this spoil.
Whoever picks it up will belong to whom.
"You are all a lieutenant. Don't you know if the lieutenant's title is military merit?" Wen Ying asked with a smile, patted her belt.
"I know, but I can exchange money for it, and it's twenty cents." Chen Xing calculated by his fingers. Along the way, Wen Ying picked up at least seven of his heads to reward him.
One hundred and forty cents, he was able to marry the daughter of the landlord in his hometown, and was picked up by Wen Ying.
There is one hundred silver dollars!
I can buy two houses and more than ten acres of land!
Wen Ying took off his belt and said, "If you want it, then set up a military tent for me in your camp, and next to your military tent."
"Trade!" Chen Xing nodded and said.
The Imperial City Department has a separate department in charge of spy and information along the way.
Because of Wen Ying's identity, she has a high position in the Imperial City Department and originally lived in a separate military account, so this requirement is not an exaggeration.
Wen Ying looked at Chen Xing's appearance and laughed loudly. She threw the waist bag in her hand to Chen Xing, explaining: "My is not yours? I don't have military status."
Only then did Chen Xing remember that without military status, he could not exchange his military merit rewards.
Wen Ying looked at Chen Xing's stupid appearance, and didn't know why she was blind and fell in love with him.
