Chapter 1,263 Mobilization

On August 18, Zhao Xu issued an order: "For all armies that have gone out of the border, a special payment of three thousand coins will be given to the imperial army, and the militia and Xiang army will be demoted to the next level."

He also issued an edict: "The inspection envoy of the capital of Lin Prefecture, the magistrate of Prefecture, Zheke, ordered three thousand soldiers, and selected all the officials' sons to be escorted to Zhang Shiju and others."

"Previously Gao Zunyu reported that Qikexing could lead the Tibetan soldiers into one army, but Kexing had a heavy responsibility to defend the county, so the proposal was not feasible."

On August 19, another edict was issued: "In Yanyan, Huanqing, Jingyuan, Xihe, and Linfu Road, each sent the envoys to the inner hall to worship the ban, and from Dongtou to the third squad to serve, the army

In the first two hundred, the three squads of the Yanyan Road were loaned to the palace, and the army general Zha Zibai. If he worked hard in front of the army and could inspire the soldiers, he would fill the post according to the merits and deeds. The six routes would be appeased immediately.

The book will be filled in and paid, and the report will be heard in court."

This gave Su You 300 yuan to report, so that he could use it to motivate the soldiers and raise rewards at any time.

On August 20th, Su You issued an order to all the commanders and ministers on the road: "We have agreed on the month of departure and the edict is Bingwu of September. Once all the armies have been prepared, they can send out troops on their own without violating the imperial decree."

On that day, Zhonge sent his generals out of the territory to encounter thieves and destroy them.

Zhong E has been waiting for this battle for more than ten years, and Shen Kuo is in charge along the way to Yanyan, so he is most fully prepared.

After receiving the order to send troops freely, Zhong Er immediately led his troops out of the Suide army and defeated the Xia army in the first battle, beheading more than 2,000 soldiers.

Zhao Xu and the Privy Council were frightened by Su You's order, and they quickly issued an edict: "I heard that E's troops have left the border, but the rest of the way has not entered. They should advance together at the appointed time so that the thieves have no time. The Secretary of Economic Affairs should restrain the border generals.

Don't make a rash advance with light troops."

Su You's response to Zhao Xu was: "The armies are separated by thousands of miles, and it is impossible to respond when they send out troops at the appointed time. There will be a delay of several days, and you have to choose your own fate. This is the power of the commander and the camera."

"Ebu comes from Wudingchuan, Mizhi, Luowu, and Yinzhou is connected in one vein. This barrel is narrow and there is no danger of being trapped. If Yinzhou can be reached, it is not too late to proceed cautiously."

Guo Kui of the Military Aircraft Department also agreed with Su You's theory and issued an edict to follow it.

Sure enough, one day later, Wang Zhongzheng's commander came out of Lin Mansion, and while the wheat was ripe in Quye, Henan, he began to raid!

…

Back in time one day ago, Grandma Wang was beating drums to gather troops and was mobilizing before the war.

The army and horses along this road are a mess, which can be seen just from Wang Zhongzheng's official position.

Signed a letter to the Director of the Jingyuan Road Management Strategy, recruited propaganda envoys, trained envoys for the Guozhou regiment, and informed the deputy capital of the city.

The troops were clearly sent from Linfu, but the official position was on Jingyuan Road!

Under his command were some of the troops from Jingyuan Road brought by Su Chihuo, Zhe Keda from Linfu Zhejia, and Sun Neng from the new army of Control He. As well as the temporary recruitment of twelve generals transferred from the mainland of the Song Dynasty.

The soldiers and horses on Jingyuan Road are the traditional Han and Tibetan cavalry. In addition to the family's private army, Zhe Keda also brought 30,000 Tibetan troops, and the rest was Sun Neng's 3,000 crane-controlling imperial army.

Including the twelve generals' new recruits, the total force reached one hundred thousand, but Sun Neng was worried about this and thought that the only ones who could really fight were Su Chihuo's 10,000 cavalry troops, a considerable 3,000 personal troops, plus

Just three thousand new troops under his command.

This small number of soldiers and horses can be regarded as capable of fighting, and the rest... in the words of the Duke, are just soy sauce!

Wang Zhongzheng shouted on the stage at the top of his lungs: "How about the government favoring our Lin Mansion?! The decree has been issued. I, Wang Zhongzheng, have arrived in Lingzhou and want to accept the surrender on behalf of the government!"

Sun Neng rolled his eyes when he heard this. It's okay to deceive the Tibetan people, but why did Xingqing Mansion surrender without you?!

"Three hundred empty dollars to report, the officials told Duke Fu, and the person who gave it to our Lin Mansion is the Chongban of the Inner Palace!"

"What is the inner palace Chongban? They are the envoys who guard the inner palace! The personal guards of His Majesty's palace! The kind who can see the palace daughters!"

Bah! A middle-ranking official wants to be a pervert! Sun Neng is secretly slandering him again.

"Now that the wheat in Quye Henan is ripe, Zhongwu has taken advantage of him and attracted all the troops from the Zuoxiang Shenyong Army Division. Quye He deserves to have our turn to have fun!"

"Let me tell you, when you get over there, the first thing you have to grab is the temple! Then the official warehouse and the imperial village! Don't let anyone run away except wheat coins and silk!"

Damn it! Sun Neng was dumbfounded when he heard this. He quickly talked to Wang Zhongzheng, who was talking nonsense, and said in his ear: "Everyone knows, Taiwei, that your Majesty has an edict to enter the country, and there will be no offense in Qiu..."

Wang Zhongzheng nodded fiercely and continued to yell, "So the officials are partial to us! The edict clearly states that when the army enters the country, Qiu will not do anything wrong!"

The crowd in the audience was about to be discouraged when they heard Grandma Wang breathe out again: "But we are different!"

Sun Neng's eyes bulged again, damn, why?

Grandma Wang continued to roar: "This edict will make the harvest of the other four roads mediocre, but if we are alone, I will be able to rob it!"

"Because Quye Henan is the family land of the Liang family! It is not a national property! It is not among Qiu Wuzuo!"

"The more we grab, the sooner the Liang family will be finished, and the happier the officials will be!"

Sun Neng was beating the drum in his heart, this is okay?! He was already worried about how to explain to the Duke and His Majesty afterwards.

"There are those damn people who are suffering, haha, hold them all down! Tell them that we will reduce taxes by 10% compared to the Liang family. If you stay here, we will divide the land! Don't be so stupid as to follow Xia Chao.

The dog officer is running around blindly!"

"All the wheat noodles I grabbed will be sent to the camp; the people recruited will be counted by Cangcao. In the end, whoever grabs more and recruits more will be a high official and hold a big seal!

"

"Mother Dute, please inquire carefully and ask me, Wang Duzhi, whether he is a nail with every drop of spit! Is he a real person with real money and an innocent child?"

Sun Neng almost vomited when he heard it. I believe in real money and silver, and children can be innocent? Go to hell!

But they saw Wang Zhongzheng wave his hand, and a big flag came out, with the words "Punish on behalf of Heaven" in big words as big as a dustpan.

The Tibetan people's eyes were reddened by Wang Zhongzheng's encouragement. They immediately drew out their newly issued swords and howled to wake them up.

Wang Zhongzheng also drew out his royal sword and pointed toward the west: "Cheer up, everyone! Let's go to war."

The Tibetan people were so excited that they rushed out of the camp and rushed towards the Quye River.

Wang Zhongzheng nodded with satisfaction, wiped his mouth, and said to Sun Neng beside him: "Qian Chen, look at the momentum of our army, how strong it is!"

Sun Neng wiped his cold sweat and said with a dry smile: "The Taiwei is so brave. With just a few words and a big flag, he can arouse the morale of the Tibetan people. It's so powerful..."

In real history, Wang Zhongzheng was as timid as a mouse. Yuanfeng encountered heavy fog when he left the fortress. He was so frightened that he did not dare to march. He wasted nine days of precious time. After that, he followed Zhonge all the way and waited until half a month before the army rations were exhausted.

After that, they fled back in a swarm, almost without seeing the enemy, and they lost half of their troops.

But Wang Zhongzheng is different now. Ever since he followed Weizhou Fifty-four Fans to plunder the Hetao, he has fully activated the skills of burning, killing and looting.

That time, Grandma Wang really almost died of swelling. There was so much gold and silver in her clothes and trousers that even the horse could hardly carry it. She fell far behind the team. Su You reported him as a brave man and then went up, which made Zhao Xu look good.

.

What Grandma Wang regretted most that time was that she didn't bring any engineers and could only stare at the gold and silver decorations on the temple. This time, with the crane control army led by Sun Neng, Wang Zhongzheng was ready to really make a big move.

He grabbed Sun Neng's neck and said, "Hey, hey, Mr. Sun Xiaolang, there are some things that we need to put together carefully..."

Sun Neng was frightened by the gangster look on Wang Zhongzheng's face. Who is the soldier and bandit and who is the supervisor?

…

Hongliu Riverside, Xiazhou, Liang Yongnengbu.

The army was marching. Because the main force of the Song people was unknown, Liang Yongneng did not dare to stay too far away from Huanqing, did not dare to stay too far away from Mizhi Village, and did not even dare to get too close to the front line. He could only stay in the middle position, which was about the same distance from the three places.

Ningjunsi was circling around the Youzhou City.

At this moment, he finally understood the suffering of the Song people.

There are as many as five open advance routes on the Quye River, Wuding River, Guidechuan, Baima River, Huluchuan, Qingtang and Xixia defense lines.

In addition, there are countless trails for Song people to sneak into Xia Realm, such as taking the Tiandu Mountain where Li Wenzhao is entrenched.

From west to east, there are loopholes everywhere with the Nan Army, Baotai Army, Jingsai Army, Jianing Army, Xiangyou Army, and Zuoxiang Shenyong Army. If the Song people concentrated their forces and chose one route, they would be

Catch yourself off guard.

Uncle Weiming is the one who really understands that the border between Song and Xia cannot be defended at all. The only real way is to retreat across the dry sea, retreat hundreds of miles with the entire army, wait for work, and fight the Song people decisively in Xingling.

But the problem is that once the Song people get the ripe wheat in the Hetao, the one-month war can be extended to three months. If the Xia Dynasty cannot consume enough, the plan of strengthening the walls and clearing the country will be completely in vain.

Even if the Hetao granary is set on fire, it will not be able to be burned in a day or two.

The sergeants were helping the people frantically harvest the wheat in the fields, then load it into trucks and take it away. Some ears of wheat were obviously not yet ripe, but they were still being harvested.

An old farmer was so tired that he knelt down in the field. While chewing the wheat ears with pulp in his eyes to replenish his strength, he insisted on raising his weak arms and used the sickle in his hand to cut the ripe wheat ears back and forth.

.

Because my hands had no strength, I had to cut several times before the bunch of wheat ears was cut off.
Chapter completed!
