Chapter 781 The regularization of the army, the first edition of the military team

"retreat?"

In Zhongying Nabo, in the Liao Emperor's palace, Yelu Yanxi looked fiercely at Xiao Wuna and Xiao Fengxian who were prostrate on the ground, and said angrily: "Because mere rural soldiers and serfs gather at the border, you are frightened, thinking that Yanyun will Taken? I am a good man of Khitan, I am not such a coward!"

Xiao Fengxian was already panicked, and kowtowed again and again: "Your Majesty, think twice, if Yan Yun makes a mistake, my army's retreat will be blocked, and the consequences will be disastrous!"

Xiao Wuna knew that simply analyzing the pros and cons would never convince the self-willed Emperor Tian Zuo, so he said: "Now that the Shandong army is defeated and the enemy counterattacks, we are helpless, Your Majesty is so talented, I hope to teach the old minister how to deal with it! "

Yelu Yanxi glanced at Xiao Fengxian, he used to like Xiao Fengxian's younger sister very much, Ai Wu and Wu Xia naturally admired this nice-talking relative, but now he felt disgust for no reason, and said with a flick of his sleeve: "Get out!!"

Xiao Feng retreated hesitantly, Yelu Yanxi then looked at Xiao Wuna, the old minister who helped him to the throne, and stepped forward to support him: "Teacher, please quickly remind me that you are my teacher!"

Xiao Wuna got up slowly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

He understood the student's temper. Yelu Yanxi was actually a very smart person, and he did have some tricks, but the bad thing was that he thought that he was so smart that he could do anything, so he became his own way.

It is absolutely impossible for Yelu Yanxi to admit his mistakes, Xiao Wuna can only say: "Your Majesty's visit to the south this time, the old ministers did not agree with it, but the facts have proved that His Majesty is wise and decisive! Now the emperor of the Southern Dynasty moved his capital to Jinling, living in a remote place. In one corner, in our Daliao territory, everyone is amazed by His Majesty's majesty, and my Khitan will rule the Central Plains, and it is just around the corner!"

Yelu Yanxi felt very comfortable hearing this, and started to use her clever little brain again: "My military strategy has indeed made the Southern Dynasty feel at a loss. It is precisely because of this that we must not give up halfway. If our Liao army retreats now, the Southern Dynasty will be defeated. Wouldn't the emperor move the capital back to Bianliang again?"

Xiao Wuna choked, and had to say, this idea is really correct, Zhao Ji of the Southern Dynasty will really come back, just whitewash it, pretend nothing happened.

So Yelu Yanxi waved his hand and said very assertively: "Shandong is a small setback and has nothing to do with the overall situation. As for the brave soldiers from the village going north to Yanyun, it is just a tactic to intimidate. My Daliao has ruled Yanyun for more than a hundred years. The Han people have already surrendered and their roots are deeply rooted, so how can we lose? If I were frightened by this and led my troops back to the south, that would be just like that cowardly Zhao Ji! I will never do what they wish!"

Xiao Wuna's expression changed: "Your Majesty's intention... is to continue going south?"

Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth: "That's right, when the Southern Dynasty heard this news, they would definitely think that our Liao army must retreat and relax our guard, but I would do the opposite and lead my troops southward to Bianliang to seize the wealth in central Beijing." Afterwards, when I go to the south of the Yangtze River, I want to learn from the old Turkic Jieli Khan who came to the Weishui River and let the emperors of the Southern Dynasty bow their heads and proclaim themselves ministers!"

Xiao Wuna groaned secretly, why can't you two emperors share your courage, who else is hard to cite, why do you want to learn from Jieli Khan?
But Yelu Yanxi had already made up his mind and put on a posture of riding a horse and whipping his whip: "Teacher, let's be optimistic, how the Southern Dynasty will tremble under my majestic wind, haha!"

……

"I really left Shandong!"

In the team of the Township Bravery Troupe, Hu Cheng looked at the high-spirited Township Braves crossing the border of Shandong without nostalgia, feeling mixed emotions in his heart.

After taking this step, the identity of Hu's family guest will no longer exist, and only Xiangyong will be left in the future.

The two brothers Zhu Long and Zhu Hu came to the side, thinking about more practical issues: "Then Luan Tingyu has performed meritorious service again and is arrogant, does it mean that he doesn't even listen to Brother Hu's orders?"

Luan Tingyu kicked himself away, and Hu Cheng was inevitably angry, but he was very helpless: "Forget it, we didn't live up to it, and we couldn't grasp so many opportunities to make meritorious deeds given by Mr. Lin, so who can blame us?" Come?"

Zhu Long Zhu Hu's face darkened, he was speechless and could only hum sullenly.

Hu Cheng looked at Li Ying, who knew the shame and was brave, and then at Sun Li and his party who joined in not long ago: "The Township Bravery Troupe is full of talents now, I'd better give up my previous thoughts and work hard, if you are more vain I'm afraid there will be no place for us in the regiment to survive!"

Thinking of his family's contribution and efforts, and being pushed out in the end, even if it is true that they are not capable, Zhu Longzhuhu was very unwilling, looked around, and said in a low voice: "The name of this township brave group is not right. Wait until the fight is over." I don't know what to do, Brother Hu doesn't have to work so hard, it's wise to protect yourself!"

Hu Cheng frowned, and when he was about to speak, he heard loud cheers from a distance: "The chief coach is back! The chief coach is back!"

A group of village soldiers appeared, led by Chai Jin, who had been stationed in Cangzhou for a long time, and beside Chai Jin, there was a figure who could not wait to come on horseback: "Mr. Lin!!"

Li Yan looked at Gao Qiu who rushed forward excitedly, and also showed a sincere smile: "It is thanks to Gao Tiju and Cai Daizhi to guard the Daming Mansion this time."

Gao Qiu said with a smile, "What is this? If there hadn't been for Mr. Lin, the head of the army, to conquer the north and defeat the northern captives, we would still be shrunk in the Daming Mansion!"

Li Yandao: "Attack and defense are both indispensable. If the Daming Mansion falls and the situation in Hebei plummets, it will be impossible to recover. Gao Tiju has done this to the countless people in Hebei, and even more so to the countless people in the Song Dynasty. He will live up to the sky." You don’t have to be humble in the name of it!”

Gao Qiu laughed loudly: "I'm not modest. I'm here to take the subordinates of the Imperial City Division and lead the Northern Expedition to Yanyun with Chief Lin!"

Not to mention Gao Lian, Pei Xuan, Jiao Ting, and Qin Ming who followed behind him, everyone present was in high spirits.

Since the founding of the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has always wanted to take back the land of Yanyun from the Liao people, but since the signing of the Chanyuan Alliance, the two countries have become brothers to each other, and the Song Dynasty has to give old coins to show friendship, unless the alliance is torn unilaterally Otherwise, the complete Yanyun Sixteen States will never come back.

Until now, the Liao people took the initiative to tear up the covenant and went south to violate the border. After an arduous struggle, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to counterattack finally came.

Whether it's out of the ambition to become famous in the world, or even to leave a name in the annals of history, or the simple thought that we should fight back when the Liao people invaded us, everyone took a deep breath and looked forward to the next big battle.

Of course, it is much more difficult to subdue Yanyun than to resist the enemy in one's own country. The more important thing is that the Liao Kingdom sent [-] troops into the country. Lu Duo, even if Shandong is destroyed all the way now, the main force has also lost a lot when attacking Daming Mansion. Even with the east of the river, [-] troops are divided all the way, and the remaining [-] to [-] elites are still the top priority, so Li Yan then asked: "How is the main force of the Liao army?"

Gao Qiu said in a deep voice: "When I left Daming Mansion, all the Liao troops outside the mansion had already retreated. Judging from the direction, it should be going to the east of the river."

Li Yan asked again: "Are you sure?"

Gao Qiu said: "No, the Liao army sent many fast horses to intercept and kill our scouts. They can only be distinguished by the traces, and they cannot follow up specifically."

Li Yan's eyes moved slightly: "If the Liao army really retreats, there are two routes. The first is to turn around and attack Mozhou, Xiongzhou and Bazhou, and fight fiercely with our township corps."

"However, if the Liao army really withdraws decisively, this possibility is not great, because it means that it will use the state of the lowest morale to confront us, who are in danger and defend with high morale, and attack the enemy with their own shortcomings. If you are too long, you will suffer a lot!"

"The second route is to go to Hedong, take Yanmen Pass, and return to Xijing Road in Liao Kingdom. Compared with the above, this retreat route is undoubtedly safer. If Emperor Tianzuo is willing to listen to the experienced and prudent Southern Court Privy Envoy Xiao Wuna, he should choose this route. way..."

Everyone is familiar with this person's style, but there is a turning point in this tone, Gao Qiu hurriedly asked: "Is there a third possibility?"

Li Yandao: "There are indeed, and it is also the most irrational gambler's behavior. Lead the army and continue south!"

Everyone was stunned, and Lu Junyi was very puzzled: "But the Daming Mansion was not captured, and the Liao army continued to go south. Wouldn't it be repeating the same mistakes that the lone army went deep in the past? Moreover, the Liao army wanted to bypass the Daming Mansion, and it should have been around long ago. Why delay By this time?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "The situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly. A brilliant general often doesn't come up with some great tricks and tricks, but makes appropriate deployments at the corresponding time. , used at the wrong time."

"If the Liao army saw that the Daming Mansion was difficult to conquer before, they immediately turned to the south. Although it was a lone army, it was still a strategic move. It could make the chaos in the Central Plains caused by the relocation of the capital worse. But at that time, the Liao Emperor and the Daming Mansion Siege, seeing that it is really impossible to attack now, and the back road will be copied again, it is undoubtedly a very stupid act to bypass and go south."

"I've always looked down upon Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom, just because he's a mediocre commander who thinks he's smart."

"There must be many clear-headed people in the Liao army. I am afraid that the Liao emperor will not be able to stand his own way. Next, the military situation must be investigated clearly to see whether the Liao army is going north or south. This is crucial for us to capture the land of Yanyun. important!"

Having said that, seeing everyone getting excited, Li Yan looked at Gao Qiu again: "Now there are tens of thousands of people in the Township Corps and Township Warriors. It is necessary to clarify the authority of the top and bottom, but I have to ask Gao Tiju."

Gao Qiu said without any hesitation: "I am acting as an agent for Hebei's defense. Although I can't confer official ranks, it is still possible to make the township soldiers and townships justifiable!"

"it is good!"

Li Yan paid attention to these details when building the two corps before, but now with the endorsement of Gao Lian, who is acting as the defense agent of Hebei, everything began to be formalized quickly.

Upgrade the township corps and township brave regiments to a military system, and set up troops, generals, teams, etc. The commanders of the troops include commanding officers, commanding officers, generals, deputy generals, and reserve generals. The former fights on the battlefield, while the latter is used for non-combat tasks such as luggage, fire, and cooking.

According to the meritorious service made so far, for the first time, the positions of rank and above are arranged as follows——

Commander of the Township Corps: Hua Rong, Commander of the Township Corps: Lu Junyi.

There are four generals: Suo Chao, Shi Wengong, Xu Ning, and Zhang Qing.

Four lieutenants: Luan Tingyu, Li Ying, Hu Cheng, and Zhu Long.

Supervising and preparing generals: Ling Zhen, Meng Kang.

There are also two military counselors: Zhu Wu and Wu Yong.

The chief detectives are two secret agents: Shi Qian and Du Xing.

Li Yan was not in the position of control and did not take on specific positions. He only served as the chief instructor of the two armies.
