"I'm too overestimating public opinion. Do you know that most of the newly seized Liao army spies are Han people, or Han people from our Song Dynasty, who eat pots of juice to welcome the king's army. When I saw that these Han people from the Liao Kingdom didn't help the Liao people beat us, they would burn high incense! If the Han people in the Liao Kingdom really think they are Han people, they don't have to wait until today, our Taishi Tong mobilized 150,000 troops to fight!" It was Liu Fu who said this.

Tong Guan glanced at Liu Fu, "Who are you? Don't you know that this strategy of focusing on reprimanding was decided by Emperor Daojun himself?"

"Liu Fu, the regent of Xia Zhending Prefecture, met Taishi Tong. His subordinates knew that today's son was wise and kind, but the people of Liao were originally from the outside world and refused to accept the scruples of our Song Dynasty. I also advise Taishi Tong to prepare for war early. To recover Yanyun's land, they still had to fight with one sword and one shot on the battlefield!" Liu Fu's words were righteous, similar to Yang Keshi's opinion.

Tong Guan took a breath, "Well, what other people have to say, why don't you say it! General Zhong, you are the longest general of the Western Army and have the highest prestige in my Song Dynasty. Let me tell you!"

Zhong Shidao sighed, "I think there are three things that we cannot choose to attack Liao this time. One is not to choose to defeat the alliance and deceive the heavens. Two is not to choose to recruit and miss the opportunity. Three is not to choose arrogance and will definitely be defeated!"

As soon as Zhong Shidao said this, everyone was upset. He thought that the veterans of the Western Army would persuade Tong Guan and others to seriously consolidate their troops and prepare for war. Unexpectedly, Zhong Shidao said directly that he could not defeat the Liao Kingdom and did not recognize the Northern Expedition.

Tong Guan didn't have time to get angry and was a little confused. Mr. Zhong had too much reputation and he said he couldn't win, and his morale would be lost half of it at once.

However, Tong Guan's mind quickly made a laugh, "General Zhong is worthy of being a famous general in a hundred battles. He secretly told me to step up the training of troops, but openly showed weakness so that the news could reach Yelu Chun and let them relax their vigilance! Yes, Jiang is still so hot!"

After Tong Guan said this, Master Zhong was not easy to argue anymore, so he had to smile.

It is unnecessary to continue. Tong Guan asked everyone present, "Who will do the matter of placing Yelu Chun?"

Liu Yu stood up and said, "Of course, this kind of thing is the most suitable thing for the Liao officials who came over. The subordinate officials recommended Tong Guan to send the Liao surrendered officials Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong to Yanjing to recruit surrender!"

Tong Guan didn't ask about the specific situation of the two people, and waved his hand, "It's right, choose an auspicious day to let them take His Majesty the emperor's edict to Yanjing, telling them that they can be promoted to the title of Jiedushi when they come back after the matter is completed!"

The surrendered official from the Liao Kingdom sent out was beheaded by Yelu Chun. Tong Guan was furious, but he was unwilling to give up and sent Ma Kuo to recruit him.

At this time, Yao Pingzhong suggested that he would send troops to besiege Yanjing in two groups and force Yelu Chun to surrender. Tong Guan adopted Yao Pingzhong's suggestion and divided the troops into two groups. The eastern army of Zhong Shidao's east line and Baigou, and the western army of Xinxingzong's west line and Fancun.

On the surface, there were two armies of Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong's attacks in succession. In fact, Tong Guan had other plans. How could Tong Guan leave such merits that surpassed all the generals of the Song Dynasty to others?

Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong also knew Tong Guan’s true meaning. The two armies attracted the firepower of the Liao army, and their real trump card was the five thousand daring soldiers under Tong Guan and Liu Wei.

Yao Hua was the commander of the infantry army in Zhending Prefecture, but Liu Wei was not optimistic about him, so he kept him in Zhending Prefecture to defend the city. When he was about to leave, Liu Wei said, "This important task of defending the city will be handed over to you. If you can help the military affairs on the front line, you will decide on your camera!"

Yue Fei attacked together as Liu Wei's guards. After Liu Wei finished speaking, Yue Fei saluted Yao Hua, "Mr. Yao, if I can come back safely this time, I will definitely not break my promise when I asked you for boxing!"

Yao Hua also replied with a greeting, "Brother Yue has extraordinary martial arts. He will definitely make contributions this time. Then Brother Yue won't dislike me, haha."

Liu Wei coughed, "Cough, military situation is urgent, don't talk about it! Get on the horse!"

Looking at the back of Yue Fei and Liu Wei leaving, Yao Hua felt uncomfortable. He wanted to go and walk around with his elder brother Yao Pingzhong. Before he could even arrive in front of Yao Pingzhong's tent, he heard that Yao Pingzhong was not among the candidates for attacking the generals.

By the way, Yao Pingzhong didn't even get the chance to restrain the Liao army from attacking.

Yao Hua felt incredible. The elder brother publicly agreed with Tong Guan, which was his idea of ​​two attacks. How could he not have the elder brother in the end when he led the troops to fight and make achievements?

With this question in mind, Yao Huaxuan went to see Yao Pingzhong in the evening, "Brother, why didn't you go to the battle with Lord Tong?"

Yao Pingzhong stomped his feet, "It was all caused by Master Zhong and Liu Wei. They told Master Tong that I am too ambitious. This time I went there, I wanted to grab the credit. These old guys didn't want our Yao family to grow bigger, so they joined hands to suppress us! Okay, there are ears in the walls, you are also a person who works in the Imperial City Department, so be careful. By the way, it may be a good thing not to go to the battlefield! You should go back to your own tent first, so that we brothers should not get too close to each other, so as not to slander and falsely accus others of slandering and false accusations!"

Yao Hua came out of Yao Pingzhong's tent and saw many people enjoying the cool air with their upper bodies naked. He wanted to say a few words, but when he thought that these people had no chance to fight, and the Liao Kingdom would have no chance to fight to Zhending Mansion, he went back silently.

On the way back, I passed by a military camp and heard a few people calling him "Huazi! Brother Hua! Captain Yao!"

Yao Hua turned around and saw that it was the people from the Changche Camp that was incorporated last year.

I saw a lot of firewood and some rags on the chariots. Some of them were gone in the wheels, and many people were lying on the ground on a broken mat, completely losing their original energy.

Yao Hua walked in, and many people stood up and said hello. Yao Hua looked at everyone, "How did brothers look like this? Our long car camp,"

"Don't mention it, there is no training here, and the salary is sometimes gone. Brothers are idle and just drinking and gambling, just pointing at this untimely salary is still busy. What kind of energy do you have?"

"The above said that chariots are too expensive and cannot be afforded. Our horses were also collected. When we really had no money, we took off the wheels and sold them for money!"

"Why are you here too? Could it be that you are also unloading the donkey? You will throw it aside after you use it?"

Yao Hua waved his hand, pointed to the four followers beside him and said, "I am now the infantry commander of Zhending Mansion. Haven't you told you about your situation?"

"Don't mention it, we are all surrendered soldiers. How can we meet Lord Liu Wei? Don't say that you, Brother Yao Hua, are the biggest official we have ever met after coming to Zhending!"

Facing his former brothers, Yao Hua couldn't help but feel sad. It was not that the brothers in Changche Camp could not fight, but that the court did not use it at all. And the same was true for him and the men brought by Yao Pingzhong.

"Commander Yao, congratulations on your promotion. If you can still look at us brothers, I'll have a meal here tonight! There's enough wine, and there's really no food!"

"Yes, Lord Yao, come on, treat us as brothers, just drink with us!"

Yao Hua frowned, "Brothers, you will always be my brothers. It's just that Yao is responsible for guarding Zhending Mansion and dare not drink. If you miss the matter, it will cause everyone to be implicated!"

"Forget it, when people walk to a high place, we are the grass on the ground and cannot climb high branches!"

"Yes, they are already commanders, it's good to be able to see us at a glance!"

Yao Hua sighed without explanation, and took his entourage out of the Changche Camp.

I looked up at the moon, but it was particularly clear, but the scene under the moon was too embarrassing.

"Wen Xiaobing, do our infantry commander have any excess military supplies in the warehouse? For example, dry food and bedding?" Yao Hua asked Wen Xiaobing, the accompanying manager, who was in charge.

Wen Xiaobing shook his head, "There are not many things in the warehouse. The people above said that they should concentrate materials and reward merits and get 70% of the materials in advance. The rest is only enough for us to use until the end of the year!"

It seems that everyone knows that this is a sure victory battle, and even the rewards are ready.

A arrogant soldier will definitely be defeated. Yao Hua suddenly remembered this word. If the Song army is really defeated this time, should he, the commander of the infantry guarding the city, respond in this way?

Thinking of this, he took out three salt notes he brought with him. "This is the latest salt notes. While the court is busy with war, it will not issue new ones for the time being. You can exchange them for money. Well, after exchanging the money, I will give each of the brothers in the Changche Camp a reward of money for the whole time, make up for the carriages, and the rest will be used as public use!"

Wen Xiaobing was shocked. He had never seen his boss who paid for it. "Sir, why are you doing this? The Changche Camp is idle and idle. The two armies ahead are approaching, so we don't need us."

"Do as I say, hurry!" Yao Hua said firmly, and Wen Xiaobing had to do so.

However, it was said that Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong were heading towards Baigou and Fan Village with great fanfare, and encountered dozens of encounters with the Liao army's small troops along the way.

Every time the Liao army left behind a few bodies and fled, and their subordinates advised Zhong Shidao to move forward quickly and cross Baigou and go straight to Yanjing.

However, Zhong Shidao opposed "The Liao people deliberately showed weakness when they deviated from normalcy. They must have traps waiting for us and should not make a rash move!"

In this way, the army of Zhong Shidao went even slower, while Xin Xingzong on the other side made rapid progress and became a trend of alone and deeper.

Tong Guan was shocked after receiving the military information sent by Zhong Shidao and Xin Xingzong. "I asked them to attack in a split second, all I wanted was to wait for me to lead the elite troops to the rear three groups to take down the Liao army with the power of killing the chicken. This kind of teacher was unsuccessful, Xin Xingzong was greedy for me and made a rash progress, and Xin Xingzong was in danger! I quickly urged Zhong Shidao to accelerate his advance and sent someone to let Xin Xingzong wait for our central army!"

As soon as the messenger sent by Tong Guan left, the large Liao army troops actually came for Tong Guan’s five thousand men!

Tong Guan was full of hope that he and Liu Wei would lead five thousand soldiers to attack Youzhou as strange soldiers, and then Zhong Shidao Xinxingzong's two armies surrounded him and captured Youzhou.

Unexpectedly, when I was only halfway through, I encountered a squadron of Liao army attacking head-on. Although the five thousand soldiers dared to fight, they were all mainly knights in the martial arts world. There was no problem with assassination and fighting, but it was useless to face the enemy lined up on the battlefield.

In less than an hour, less than 300 people were left with 5,000 troops and fled south. The Liao army chased after him, shouting, "Catch Tong Guan alive! Just hit him straight!"
Chapter completed!
