The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

Hezhou has a long history.Before the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, history books collectively referred to Lingnan as "Jiaozhi", and Hezhou belonged to "Jiaozhi".

In the 33rd year of Qin Shihuang, Qin Bing unified Lingnan and set up Guilin, Xiang and Nanhai counties.Hezhou belongs to Nanhai County.

Hezhou was snatched by the Ma Chu Dynasty, but it was snatched by the Southern Han Dynasty.Now the Ma Chu Dynasty has long since vanished, and most of the territory seized from the Later Zhou Dynasty was taken back by the Song Dynasty before it was warmed up, and it was directly wiped out. The army of the Zhao Family Dynasty went all the way south, bypassing the Southern Tang Dynasty Instead of fighting, he traveled thousands of miles to attack the Southern Han Dynasty. I don't know what kind of plan Zhao Kuangyin had in mind!
At this time Zhu Wu had returned to Hezhou City.

Along the way, he continued to issue orders to Hezhou, stabilizing the morale of the army in the city, and at the same time, he continued to send Qin Wang rescue six hundred miles to various places to rush. When he entered the boundary of Hezhou, his reinforcements basically came first!Who would dare to be negligent when the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty personally dispatched troops and generals?

Now Da Song's army is not only afraid to attack, but also worried that they will be counterattacked at any time!
Because according to the information fed back by the spies, the number of reinforcements sent to Hezhou in the Southern Han Dynasty has increased by [-]!
Among them, the Demon Cult supported another [-] skeleton army on top of the [-] skeleton army!The leader of the army is said to be the "Little Skeleton King", the proud disciple of Marshal Bone!
In addition, there are [-] rattan soldiers supported by local indigenous people!

In addition, Siam rushes to help the [-] war elephant army!Thousands of war elephants, fifty thousand auxiliary soldiers!

The three major reinforcements all have the strength of one against ten. For Zhu Wu, it has increased the strength of more than 50 troops!
To consume these 50 troops, Da Song needs at least an additional [-] troops!Why is Da Song not in a hurry?
At this time, the Song Army was stationed in Taohua Mountain a few miles away, and had been observing the movement in Hezhou!
Hezhou has already closed the city at this time, and the city gates are closed. Without a special waist card, there is no way to get in or out!

Pan Mei, the head coach of the Song Army, was standing on the hillside looking at Hezhou City!

He and Zhao Kuangyin have a close relationship. This time, he was appointed as the deployment of all the troops in the camp and the training envoy of the Langzhou regiment. He led [-] heavy cavalry, [-] Luoyang tigers, and [-] Northwest wolves to attack the Southern Han Dynasty!

Although Pan Mei is the coach, her martial arts are not high.His face is as white as jade, two long eyebrows slanted into his temples, and a pair of tiger eyes are majestic and majestic!When he was young, he was suave and suave, and he was known as "Da Ming Xiao Pan'an" in his hometown.

He was successful at a young age, and became an official in the Later Han Dynasty when he was less than 20 years old.But at that time, he saw the signs that the later Han Dynasty was crumbling. In less than two years, Guo Wei launched a coup d'etat and established the Zhou Dynasty. His adopted son Chai Rong was appointed as the prefect of Kaifeng.

In the first year of Xiande, Chai Rong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and Pan Meibu served as an official!In March of that year, the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom jointly attacked the Later Zhou Dynasty. Zhou Shizong faced off in Zezhou and defeated Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty in Gaoping.From the conquest of Gaoping, Pan Mei was asked to lead five thousand elite soldiers to strangle Jiangzhuling. "Moved to Xishanggemen Deputy Envoy with meritorious service".Soon, he was appointed as the supervisor of Shanzhou and changed to "introduction envoy".Because Pan Mei is good at fighting, Zhao Kuangyin summoned Pan Mei immediately after Chen Qiao's mutiny. Pan Mei is so smart and naturally knows the current affairs. "If you meet a real dragon, you will be lucky in life."

Attacking the Southern Han Dynasty was not Zhao Kuangyin's whim, but the result of careful consideration!

There are two main reasons for adopting the grand strategy of "first south and then north". One is that the conditions are not mature in fact, and the other is that opportunities are rare!
The conditions are immature, because there is no chance of winning the Northern Expedition at this time!The Khitan cavalry is invincible in the world. Even if the Luoyang tiger and the Northwest wolf can take back the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, the overall national strength of the Khitan is definitely not inferior to him. Emptiness will be copied by the Southern Tang and Western Shu, the gain outweighs the loss!Therefore, this hard bone of Khitan should be chewed last!

The opportunity is rare, because the emperor of Khitan passed away at this time, the new monarch is young, and the Empress Dowager Xiao is busy cleaning up the political enemies and has no time to take care of the Southern Expedition, leaving the Song Dynasty with a breathing space!In addition, I heard that Feng Jiuxiao got the promise from Empress Dowager Xiao that as long as Feng Jiuxiao was in Song Dynasty, she would live in peace with Song Dynasty for a day. All signs made Zhao Kuangyin sure that Queen Mother Xiao would definitely keep her promise in the short term!
In this way, the threat from the north is completely eliminated, so the strategy of "first south, then north" is set!

There are many reasons for bypassing the Southern Tang and directly attacking the Southern Han!

First of all, Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty knew how to be a man. He took the initiative to write a letter to Zhao Kuangyin, claiming to be the lord of the south of the Yangtze River, and respecting Zhao Kuangyin as the emperor. In face, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't get angry, and he couldn't find an excuse to send troops!What happened when the emperor attacked his courtiers?So no matter how big Zhao Kuangyin thinks about Nantang, he can only bear with it!Even knowing that Li Yu secretly claimed to be the emperor in the Southern Tang Dynasty can only turn a blind eye!
Secondly, Zhao Kuangyin took the opportunity of testing Li Yu and asked him to write a letter to Liu Yu, the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty, to persuade the Southern Han Dynasty to accept Tutu as a minister!As a result, Liu Yu, the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty, rejected Li Yu's letter with rude words!Soon Li Yu was ordered by Zhao Kuangyin to write to Liu Yu for the second time, asking him to accept the soil and become a minister, but was rejected again by Liu Yu, the ruler of the Southern Han Dynasty, and actually replied with a rather disrespectful letter. Li Yu forwarded the letter to Give it to Zhao Kuangyin, now Zhao Kuangyin is naturally "famous as a teacher"!Uncle and Aunt can't stand insulting the Emperor of Song Dynasty!The officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty were incited by the generals, and they were immediately excited. They vowed to take the head of the head of the Southern Han Dynasty, Liu Yu, to vent their anger on the emperor of the Song Dynasty!

The plan is actually very good, but the execution has encountered deviations!

First, the Song army did not expect that the Southern Han Dynasty would change hands now!Liu Wei, who used to only know how to eat, drink and have fun, suddenly became the fifth prince Zhu who has dominated Lingnan for many years, and the government has improved a lot for a while!Although Zhu Wu forced Liu Yu to give up the throne, he did not kill Liu Ying. In order to buy people's hearts, sometimes he even said that it was the result of discussing with Liu Ying when he issued the decree!Crossing the sea with the sky, pretending to be the real thing, making waves, fishing in troubled waters!
Second, I didn't expect Zhu Wu to be calm on the surface, but behind his back, he was furious, expanding his army and preparing for war, and now he has trained [-] heavy cavalry. This is something unimaginable in the southern border countries!
Thirdly, I didn't expect that Zhu Wu would get strong support from the Demon Cult behind his back, and the Demon Lord would send a Marshal of Bones to cheer him on. Tens of thousands of skeleton soldiers participated in the battle.

There was a general beside Pan Mei with shiny armor and a long sword on his waist. It was the lieutenant general Yin Chongke.Looking at Hezhou, he said anxiously: "Now that Zhu Wu has entered the city, reinforcements have also arrived, and the morale of the entire Hezhou defenders is now boosted. If we attack again, we may suffer heavy losses!"

At this time, a soft and sharp voice sounded, "Now it's not a question of whether we can attack or not, the question now is whether we can hold this position!" Jade belt python robes, white hair and a beautiful face, are the commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Division of the Song Dynasty. Wei Qiansui!He came to the front line in person and shouldered the responsibility of supervising the army!

Pan Mei frowned and said, "I don't know if the information is wrong. If they really added [-] bone soldiers, [-] rattan armor soldiers, and [-] war elephant soldiers, I'm afraid we will only be wiped out!"

Lieutenant General Yin Chongke also had a sad expression on his face, "We have fought bloody battles several times, and now there are only 4000 heavy cavalry left, [-] Luoyang tigers, and [-] Northwest wolves, which add up to less than [-] troops. And the opponent's three powerful soldiers are super powerful, I'm afraid we need to add another hundred thousand Luoyang tigers!"

Pan Mei frowned and said: "We have [-] Luoyang tigers and [-] Northwest wolves, which are already half of the entire Song Dynasty's army! How do you ask me to ask the emperor to add another [-] Luoyang tigers? There are too many Luoyang tigers, and the second is that all the troops are transferred to the southern line. Isn't the capital defense empty? What should the Northern Han do if they take advantage of the situation?"

Wei Qiansui said: "The rest of the Luoyang tigers can't move anymore, they are the last line of defense to protect the emperor!"

Yin Chongke sighed: "Except for the Luoyang Tiger, the rest of the armies came for nothing. They are nothing more than moths flying into the flames and sending them to their deaths for nothing!"

Looking into the distance, Wei Qiansui said with deep eyes, "Deputy Envoy Feng and the others have been walking for five days and will arrive in another two hundred miles."

Yin Chongke said: "Qiantui admires Deputy Envoy Feng so much, how can Deputy Envoy Feng have any clever strategies to defeat the enemy?" There seemed to be disdain in the words!Those who charge are all soldiers like us, what problem can you, a deputy commander in chief, solve?
Wei Qiansui said: "In addition to being the deputy commander-in-chief of the Imperial City Department of the Song Dynasty, he is also the leader of the most powerful organization in the Song Dynasty Wulin Mountain League!"

Yin Chongke frowned and said, "Mountain League?" He had never heard of the existence of Mountain League.

Wei Qiansui said: "The Shanmeng League was founded by Deputy Envoy Feng. I don't know how many members it has yet!"

Yin Chongke's eyes flickered: "Qiantui means that after Deputy Envoy Feng arrives, the Mountain League will play a role?"

Wei Qiansui was full of confidence: "Not bad!"

"By the way, Chitose, isn't Da Song Wulin and the Demon Cult at odds? Why are there so few people here this time?"

"Righteous people in the Central Plains martial arts have always been upright. They think that when we attacked the Southern Han Dynasty, we were invading others. We caused the displacement of the people of the Southern Han Dynasty, and we caused the soldiers of the Southern Han Dynasty to die like mountains! So they will think that coming here is just fueling the flames." , It’s working for the tiger! So no one dares to publicly support them, let alone come to the scene to support them!”

Yin Chongke frowned and said, "Pedantry!"

Wei Qiansui said: "The height of the temple is so high that the rivers and lakes can be glimpsed? They are eager to win, brave and ruthless, disagree with each other, and draw their swords! This is their daily life! What kind of family and country, what kind of country is unified? I'm not interested! If you want to say pedantic, I think the people in Cihang Jianzhai are really pedantic. They actually think that the world is torn apart and it's best to be content with the status quo! Only by reducing killings can peace be achieved!"

"Is Cihang Jianzhai a gang?"

"That's right! According to the secret report, two disciples from Cihang Jianzhai have also gone to Hezhou City. It is said that they are going to help Zhu Wu resist our attack!"

"Hey!" Yin Chongke was a little disdainful, "If she really wants to reduce killings, she should persuade Nanhan to surrender as soon as possible, so as to minimize innocent casualties. Resistance will only increase deaths! I really don't know the relationship between these two Cihang Jianzhai What do women think!"

Wei Qiansui looked at the sky, and said to himself: "Fifteen brothers said that Deputy Envoy Feng kept issuing orders of the Mountain Alliance along the way, ordering the nearby gangs to come for reinforcements quickly. I guess this time the Deputy Envoy will have to send out surprise soldiers to solve the problem!"

Yin Chongdao, "Qiantui admires Deputy Envoy Feng so much, even now I want to meet him!"

Wei Qiansui smiled and said: "You should study hard now!"!
