Fu Song

Chapter 123

In Daliao, when the governor of Nanjing Road in Daliao, the king of Qishui County, Yelujun, and his teacher Lin Jing drank wine and watched the snow, and talked about the general trend of the world, in Tianmenzhai, North Road, Daliao, Cui Ang, Cui Huaiyuan, the appeasement envoy, , also standing on the tall Tianmen Walled City Tower, watching a martial arts performance in the heavy snow.

The performers are the Dingwu Army who was ordered to move to Tianmenzhai.

The commanding general is Tao Dayong, who was born as a plain man.

Unlike Xiao Ding, a general with a very strong background, Tao Dayong is truly a penniless man who, purely relying on his own bravery and strategy, stood out step by step in the competition with the Liao people, and slowly rose to become a leader. control.

Xiao Ding was only [-] years old when he became a commander, and he became a commander when he was [-] years old. Tao Dayong is [-] this year, and he has finally been promoted to the commander.

This person is naturally capable.

Back then in Hebei, Wanmaqi knew everything, and was asked by the Liao people. He was always able to win some small victories, adding a little bit of color to the filthy battle in Hebei during the Song Dynasty. No one can build it, and dare not build it, because everyone still needs this victory to let the court and officials understand that Hebei still has a lot to do.

So this person was called a ruthless person by Yelujun.

The Dingwu Army, in Hebei, is indeed the Song Army second only to the Guangrui Army.And this time, the main performance is that Tao Dayong is not as rich, well-connected, and backgrounded as Xiao Ding, and he can always get what he wants.

Tao Dayong can only be three years old, three years old, and three years of sewing and mending.There is really no way out, so go cry and complain, and then you can get back some good things.

That is to say, when King Jing arrived in Hebei, people like Tao Dayong felt a little better.

But what can't be helped is that King Jing prefers Xiao Ding.

Firstly, Xiao Ding is younger, and secondly, Xiao Ding made it clear that the whole family is his King Jing.

In the heavy snow, the cavalry came and went, and the infantry was sonorous and mighty. With the waving of the command flag, they advanced and retreated in an orderly manner.

Cui Ang now finally understands why Xiao Ding dared to single out a hundred members of the Fourth Army in Bianliang City.

Just looking at the Dingwu army that I saw, the murderous aura that was revealed between the advance and retreat was definitely not something that the Fourth Army could possess.The ranks of the Fourth Army are also very neat, every time Jin Mingchi's performance can also cause a tsunami of applause, but inside, there is always a smell of juggling.

The team in front of them revealed a completely different flavor from the Upper Fourth Army.

You can only really smell this smell if you stand among these teams.

"A good soldier! Great courage!" Cui Ang said sincerely.

"Thank you for your compliment." Tao Dayong couldn't hide the joy between his brows and eyes. Here comes the good stuff.

Needless to say, the bounty for this drill is like the best Zhajia, [-] sets, [-] sets of god arm bows and enemy bows, [-] crossbow arrows, and some other winter bedding, frostbite, etc. Medicine, etc., Tao Dayong felt that he had never been so rich.

So he is sincerely grateful to Cui Ang.

Not to mention that the other party wants to watch a rehearsal, even if he wants to watch it for ten days, he can do it.

Tao Dayong is not Xiao Ding, Xiao Ding doesn't have to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, he can bend his waist for one bucket of rice.

The soldiers received the rewards and returned to the camp contentedly. Tao Dayong invited Cui Ang to the official residence in the village to talk. The superiors must have something to do.

"Dayong, are you fifty today?" Pulling Tao Dayong to sit by the firepit, Cui Jin sat on the side and played the role of pouring tea, which made Tao Dayong a little restless.

"Go back to the appeasement envoy, it will be fifty-one soon." He replied in a low voice.

"Yeah, it's fifty-one. For a general, fifty is a threshold!" Cui Ang said with a smile, "We can't go up one level from this threshold, it will be difficult in the future."

Tao Dayong bowed his head and remained silent.

Who doesn't want to be promoted?

But is it so easy to get promoted?
If you want to get, you have to give.

"My friend in Bianliang wrote me a letter, talking about the first team His Royal Highness King Jing is going to transfer back to Bianliang, do you know who it is?"

"The last general is humble and insignificant, so he dare not speculate on the imperial court's plans." Tao Dayong's heart trembled.

"It's you and your Dingwu Army!" Cui Ang smiled and said, "You won't be staying in Tianmenzhai for long. In the beginning of spring, you're going to Bianliang. Dayong, when you arrive in Bianliang, you still have the possibility of being promoted Is it? You have no chance to make meritorious service, and you have no contacts, so you will be disarmed and returned to the field from the position of control. Maybe when you arrive in Bianliang, someone is eager to replace you before your ass is warmed up! "

Tao Dayong suddenly raised his head, his eyes flickered, but he suddenly restrained himself, and lowered his eyelids again.

"Dayong, you have made many achievements in the past, but none of them can make people's eyes shine and make people remember you firmly." Cui Ang followed the temptation: "Why can people remember Xiao Ding? Except In addition to his special status, he has won a few battles and won a lot. The most eye-catching thing is Bianliang's ten-on-one-hundred. You can still win, but can you still do it? You can’t do it! So, you need to find another way, make a big contribution, and then return to Bianliang with this big victory, just like Xiao Ding, get For the official interview, I will write a letter to ask for credit for you, so that you can be as stable as Mount Tai in Bianliang, and no one dares to bully you."

Tao Dayong already understood what Cui Ang meant.

The pacifier wants to fight.

He wanted to take the initiative to provoke a dispute with the Liao people on the opposite side.

"Pacifier, what do you need me to do?" Tao Dayong took a deep breath and asked.

Hearing Tao Dayong's question, Cui Ang's eyes flashed with joy, and he glanced at Cui Jin at the side.

Cui Jin immediately stood up, took out a roll of map from the leather bag he was carrying, and spread the map in front of the two of them.

Cui Ang stretched out his finger and drew a circle on the map.

"I want here!" Cui Ang said.

Tao Dayong stared blankly at the circle.This area is not a particularly important area. For the Liao people, it is deserted and uninhabited. It is just some shepherds grazing. They only set up five military patrol shops and one military village. More than two thousand people.When Xiao Ding was here before, he would often kill the military inspectors who went to kill them.This is the same reason that the Liao people crossed the border to kill, injure and loot.

Today you cut me with a knife, and tomorrow I will stab you with a gun, which is the meaning of psychological balance.

But what Cui Ang said today was different.

He's right, I want it here!
That is to say, in this battle, it is not the meaning of making a profit and leaving, but the meaning of defeating him, occupying it, and operating it.

Although this area is not big, the meaning it represents is completely different.

This is an invasion of Liao.

Just like the Liao people occupied a piece of Da Song's land for no reason, Da Song desperately wanted to get it back.

I still remember that a few years ago, when the two parties were negotiating, they were only concerned about a ridge of land. The two sides failed to reach an agreement, and then they fought again. In the end, Da Song lost, so they reluctantly gave up. This soil ridge.

Cui Ang's random drawing pushed the border of the Song Dynasty forward by fifty miles. Is it any wonder the Liao people didn't go crazy?
Seeing Tao Dayong remain silent, his face pulsating with blue veins exposed, Cui Ang chuckled and asked, "Why, can't you beat him down?"

Tao Dayong shook his head: "Unexpectedly, caught off guard, it is not difficult at all to conquer this area. The Liao people probably never thought that we would do this at all. But what happens next? The pacifier, the next defense, is the real defense." The problem. The Liao people will definitely mobilize their troops to counterattack. We will stick to it, and the Liao people will not be able to attack. Then the Liao people will increase their troops, and we will increase our troops. This will slowly lead to a full-scale war. Pacifier, Are you ready for a full-scale fight with the Liao people in Hebei?"

Cui Ang laughed: "You think too much. According to the information we got, the Liao people can mobilize no more than [-] troops within [-] miles, and I have prepared [-] troops in Hebei." If the Liao people dare to counterattack, they will be wiped out in one fell swoop."

"Then what?" Tao Dayong stared at the other party.

Cui Ang's face was a bit ugly, "Dayong, survive this winter, and next spring, a large number of Liao people's cavalry will be fattened. Will they launch a large-scale war in spring? Their infantry, we are No fear at all. Even if they start to gather a large-scale army later, we also have other means to deal with it!"

Tao Dayong is not stupid.

He knew that as long as the Liao people survived this winter, there was a great possibility that the Liao state would send people to Bianliang Xingshi to inquire about their crimes, and then the Song people would withdraw their troops and return the land they had taken back to the Liao state.

This matter is over.

Cui Ang's calculation is probably just like this.

He wants a credit to give himself gold.

Forget it, since I am going to Bianliang, as Cui Ang said, I also need credit.

"Pacify envoy, there is no problem at all, but the following is the recruitment of civilians, the transportation of food, and the delivery of weapons, especially the bow of the god arm and the bow of defeating the enemy. In addition, we are leaving, and Tianmen Village must also have a strong army. To be garrisoned, we need a prestigious official who can overwhelm all parties, so that I can get the greatest help in the front and carry this winter through."

"No problem!" Cui Ang clapped his hands and laughed loudly: "I will personally ask questions about this aspect. As for Tianmen Village, in addition to the garrison, I will also let Ziyu sit here. How about it? Don't worry this time. Right? With him here to take care of the logistics for you, what else do you have to worry about?"

Only then did Tao Dayong feel relieved, although Cui Jin's intention to make military achievements was obvious, but he used to appease the yamen, and at the same time he was in charge of Gou Jiyi's writing, no matter which aspect, his status was extremely noble, so there was nothing to say that's it.

It's only two months since the beginning of spring.

Take this area for half a month, and then defend it desperately for a month and a half. When the Bianliang army arrives, just hand it over to them. What happens in the future has nothing to do with me!
