Chapter 99 Resignation without reward-9

After reading the pigeon book, Wu Jie's face darkened: "Gong Mao, what do you think?"

Gao Gongmao had already heard the news, and frowned and said slowly: "Since the Guardian Mansion has made a decision, we must stabilize the situation in the southeast and not let the Liao thieves become bigger. Whatever the specific thing is done is to be done by the general. However, there are many dreams in the night, and if you keep waiting like this, the Liao army will notice it sooner or later." He looked out the window, several soldiers were fighting with wooden knives. "Ten thousand soldiers were waiting in Fangzhou, and at first they were still holding on to their strength and polishing their minions, but over time, they became bored and the soldiers slowly slacked off."

"So if you break, you will break," Wu Jie interrupted Gao Gongmao's words, "What the Guardian Mansion needs is to stabilize the situation of the Liao and Song strife. The 200,000 Liao army fought against the Song army in Ezhou, and the food and grass in Hebei were all transferred through Xiangyang. First capture Xiangyang, and then the cavalry attacked the back of the Liao army to the south." "He walked to the front of the map hanging in the house, and his fingers were from Xiangyang to Ezhou, "Gao Changshi, what do you think?"

"Although there are many Liao soldiers, most of them are temporarily recruited, and the military discipline is not strict. Our 20,000 cavalry suddenly broke out from Fangzhou, and it will inevitably be in chaos. But if the enemy is large and we are few, Yelu Dashi is a hero of the world. If he can stabilize the army, it will be difficult to fight later." He pressed his hand on Ezhou and pondered, "If the Song Dynasty army can take the opportunity to cover the front and attack from the north and the south, the victory will be great. When Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's rescuers felt that the Song army gathered in Ezhou, and the Liao army was also tired. This fighter for sending troops is very important." He paused, his eyes turned north, and hesitated, "Also, Luoyang? Hedong? Merber people?"

"Don't worry." Wu Jie waved his hand and said meaningfully, "We only need to join forces with the Song army to solve the main force of the Liao army on Yelu Dashi's side. The Marine Department has made arrangements for other matters." Luoyang is the gateway to Guandong. If the Xia Kingdom can occupy Luoyang, it is equivalent to pushing the gate of Guandong, and the cavalry can advance to Henan at any time.

Gao Gongmao nodded and asked no more questions. It would be strange if the 100-year confrontation between the Marine Department and the Military Information Department had no arrangements in Luoyang.

Tongbai Mountain, the remnant of the western foot of the Dabie Mountains, suddenly a group of tits flew in the deep valley.

Since the Liao army invaded the south, there was a time when Henan people went south to take shelter. Usually, there were crowds of fleeing people everywhere on the mountain roads that were rarely visited. But that was only a while. Since the Liao Kingdom supported the imperial court to control Henan in Bianliang, and cavalry went out to arrest fugitives, fewer people in the north were gradually reduced, and the scene of silence in the Dabie Mountains has also been restored.

A cavalry turned out from behind the mountain road. His military robe was worn, his face was dusty, his head was hanging on his chest, and his body shook with the bumps of his mount. One after another, cavalry appeared in the valley one after another. These cavalry were all left-sided, wearing felt hats and tassels commonly used by Khitan soldiers, and his armor was wrapped in a bag. Many people were still very stiff in riding horses. The reason why they could doze off on horses was not to have mastered the ability to unite man and horses, but to tie them firmly on the saddle from waist and back to legs. Teams of cavalry slowly ran out of the valley, all of them clamped horses, and the team was extremely quiet. Although there were many camps that appeared one after another, there was no other movement except the start of shocking the mountain birds, and there was no noise or noise at all.

About half an hour later, hundreds of elite cavalry surrounded a general and rushed out along the mountain road. The general's eyes were red and swollen. It was obvious that he had not had a good sleep for a long time, but his eyes flashed, as if two flames were burning in his eyes.

The sound of horse hooves sounded, and a horse rushed from the front. Zhang Xian urged the horse to come forward, whispered a few words with the scout, and turned around to report:

"Ship Yue, this is the boundary of Xinyang Prefecture. Walking on the mountain road, not far north, is the Wuyang Pass we have been stationed. Further east, there is a flat mountain, and it is Xiangyang."

"Wuyang Pass." Yue Fei nodded, "This mountain road looks familiar."

"That's right." Zhang Xian smiled, and pointed at the mountains and forests on both sides and said, "The commander led us to pacify this mountain. Throughout the journey, he didn't even meet a thief." The cavalry generals around Beiwei Camp laughed easily. These cavalry generals were all confidants who had been following Yue Fei to fight south and north. When Yue Fei was excluded by Liu Yanqing, he was transferred from the Xiangyang camp and stationed north and south to fight Wuyang Pass. He practiced military service all day long. Yue family army used the bandits and bandits around hundreds of miles of surrounding areas as targets for training. The mountain kings were indecent miserable, and they died and fled. To this day, there were no large groups of bandits in this area. And this area was very familiar with the mountains, rivers, and even the customs and customs of Xiangyang, county magistrates and gentry, and Yue family army.

After the Battle of Shuzhou, Zhenguo and Henghai armies seized a large number of Liao army horses. This time, the two thousand elite cavalry of Beiweiying followed Yue Fei to attack Xiangyang, and there were 6,000 infantrymen tied to horses. The infantrymen of the Musketball Camp had never contacted horses before. They originally envied the cavalry for mounts to carry on, but now their inner thighs were grinded with saddles and their waists seemed to be about to be broken. They sat on the horse as if they were sitting on pins and needles, and they could hardly stand steadily and could not walk.

Moving the way. However, in the past ten days, almost all the infantrymen of the musket camp have gritted their teeth and survived, and some have gradually mastered the trick of riding horses. The only regret is that they cannot act with the cavalry because of the heavy artillery. The elite troops of the eight thousand towns have been replaced by the costumes of Liao cavalry. The Liao army defeated soldiers who were fooling the battle of Shuzhou retreated to Xiangyang. They marched in the Dabie Mountains and did not encounter a large group of Liao soldiers along the way, and the Khitan prisoners who were dealing with cross-examination in the marching queue were useless.

"There are still six hundred miles." A cold light flashed in Yue Fei's eyes, "By bypass Xinyang Prefecture, repair it in Luoshan County for half a day, and then rush to Xiangyang with all his strength."

"Yes." Zhang Xian replied, kicking his horse's belly lightly and going to arrange for rest.

Wang Jing, the county magistrate of Luoshan County, was an old general under Yue Fei. He broke his arm when he wiped out the bandits and then went to Luoshan County to be a county magistrate. After the Liao army headed south, the magistrate of Luoshan County fled, and Wang Jing took charge of the county. Because the place was remote and rugged, the Liao cavalry rarely arrived, and it has been maintained until today. Yue Fei decided to attack Xiangyang and cut off the Liao army's retreat and food routes. Zhang Xian sent a small team of cavalry to contact Wang Jing first, so that he was ready to welcome the army's transit.

While the two of them were talking, the mounts under their crotch were still moving slowly. Soon after, they walked out of this mountain path and turned into another valley. Only the sound of horse hooves were heard in the valley, and another team of cavalrymen turned out from behind the mountain path.

In Luoshan County, the county soldiers stood at the top of the city holding crossbows, looking at the more and more cavalry outside the city in horror. The Hebei camp was over long ago, Bianliang fell, more than 100,000 imperial guards in the capital died or surrendered, and the Xiangyang army also fled. Xiangyang City is now an important rear town of the Liao army. So many cavalry can only be the Liao bandits.

"The Liao thieves are cruel by nature and have a human face and beastly heart. Once they break through the city, the old and young people in this city will definitely not survive."

Xiong Bin looked at the "Liao Army" outside the city with a complicated expression. After the county magistrate fled, he responded to the call of Ezhou to "respecte the emperor and not obey the orders of chaos" and maintained the situation of Luoshan with the county magistrate Wang Jing. The "Liao soldiers" suddenly appeared here. Luoshan, who was like a chaotic paradise, finally faced a cruel choice, whether to surrender or die? Xiong Bin straightened his clothes, walked to Wang Jing, pointed to the city and said, "The Liao soldiers came in a fierce manner. The people of this county are now looking at us. As a county magistrate, I usually sacrifice for justice. Now I will never surrender to the Liao bandits. I wonder what Wang County magistrate plans?"

Wang Jing was surprised and turned around, and said to the words. He remembered that Yue Shuai's military order was strict, so he swallowed it back. Seeing that he wanted to speak, Xiong Bin turned cold, looked around and slowly said, "Xiong, a scholar, is not my commander. If Wang County Magistrate is willing to burn both jade and stone, he is determined to fight with the Liao bandits, Xiong should be with the Wang County Magistrate and swear to guard this city. If Wang County Magistrate is afraid of the Liao bandits' forces and wants to be safe, he will forgive Xiong for not being able to accompany him. Xiong will go back and summon the 17 relatives in his family, go to death and die together to sacrifice his country, and do not become a slave under the Liao bandits' rule."

"Xiong Xueyu," Wang Jing's face was a little embarrassed. He shook his head, "That, Liao, Liao, the army under the city, as long as we supply military rations, they were retreating from Shuzhou. In just seven days of dry rations, the army will retreat." He was a rectal man, his words were half true and half false, and his face was half red and half white, as if he had opened a paint shop.

"You," Xiong Bin didn't listen, but when he heard this, he was furious, "You ordered the city to prepare dry food a few days ago, so it was for this!" His blood was pouring up, his face was flushed, and he couldn't speak in anger. He was about to pounce on him and fight with Wang Jing, but was held tightly by Wang Jing's personal soldiers. Xiong Bin struggled hard, coughed a few times in succession, and shouted, "Do you know that the great victory in Shuzhou was Mr. Zhao and his commander-in-chief defeated the Liao thieves. You were a subordinate of Yue Zheng, and you actually managed to protect yourself. Wang Jing, you are a villain, you are boneless! I am not blind and misjudged the person!" He spitted in front of him. If Wang Jing had not dodged quickly, he would have been vomited all over his head and face.

"Take it down." Wang Jing looked ugly and waved his hand, "I'm sorry to be wronged and Lord Xueyu stayed in the city tower for a few days."

The big-shouldered and round-waisted soldiers agreed loudly, escorting Xiong Xueyu into the city tower like an eagle holding a chicken. These people were the scouts first in Beiweiying. Although they respected Xiong Bin's loyalty, they were also secretly amused. Xiong Binrao cursed himself. One of them took out a coarse cloth from his arms to block his mouth, and tied it tightly with a rope to prevent him from committing suicide. On the other hand, Wang Jing sent someone to take care of Xiong Bin's family to prevent these people from committing suicide. After Wang Jing settled the city, he ordered his subordinates to send the dry food prepared two days ago out of the city. When the two sides handed over military supplies, they vaguely saw a general coming out surrounded by the army.

Wang Jing raised his right hand to his chest, touched his left arm and prosthetic limb, and silently recited: "I will meet Yue Shuai."
