...

In the Song Army, the first to arrive at the front line of Xiongzhou was the logistics personnel of the Western Army Command.

Then, at the beginning of March, [-] Jingyuan troops led by Yang Keshi also arrived in Xiongzhou as the selection front of the Western Army.

A few days later, the main force of Qin Feng's army led by the seed division also arrived in Xiongzhou as scheduled.

The Huanqing Army and the Yanyan Army led by Liu Yanqing arrived in Xiongzhou within the stipulated time, two days later than Qin Fengjun.

After that, more and more guests came to Xiongzhou.

Although Tong Guan and Tong Guan’s head of staff (Liu Wei, a direct scholar of Shugudian and Zhao Liangsi, a direct scholar of Longtuge) continued to stay in the capital, the Xuan Like composed of Li Zongzhen, Li Ziqi, Yu Jing and others However, Fusi took the lead in cultivating the way of teaching and formally put up the signboard of "Xuanfusi" in Xiongzhou City. Here, it serves as the office of the Propaganda Department and the place where they board.

(After Zhao Ji ascended the throne, especially in recent years, Tong Guan and Liang Shicheng have been in power for a while, and most of the noble officials of the court came from the two sects. The lower part of the word "Liang" is "wood", so it was referred to as "wooden foot guest" The courtiers who worshiped Liang Shicheng. The word "Tong" has "Li" and "Li" on it. Therefore, "Li Li Ke" refers to the courtiers who worship Tong Guan. Over the years, Tong Guan has indeed attracted many Li Li customers. , There are actually many famous officials and generals among them, like Zhan Du, Wang Ting, etc. Of course, more of them are mediocrity who bully others.)
Immediately afterwards, Zhan Du, the transfer envoy of the capital of Hebei, Lu Yihao, Li Ye, the transfer judge of Hebei, and others also followed.

As for the former army that was supposed to arrive with the Xuanfeng army, that is, the Shengjie army, it arrived more than half a month late.

There is a reason why the Shengjie army arrived so late.

At the beginning, Master Zhong Dao ordered Liu Guangshi to take his warrant to order the Sheng Jie army to go out.

Liu Guangshi arrived at Huaining Mansion as scheduled, and read out the order of Zhong Shi Dao, that is, the command department.

But immediately after, the Xuan Fusi also sent textual agents Wang Lin and Jia Ping to mobilize the victory of the Czech army to go out.

As far as the tasks received by Liu Guangshi, Wang Lin, and Jia Ping are concerned, they are actually the same, which is to transfer the victory of the Czech army to "go northward in recent days and stand by in Xiongzhou."

But Wang Lin and Jia Ping learned that the command department gave the Jiesheng Army an order before their Xuanfu Division, and immediately called Liu Guangshi to criticize them severely, and ordered Liu Guangshi to take back the order, and they would represent the Xuanfu Division again. Next order.

Some people may wonder, isn't it unnecessary to take off your pants and fart?

In fact, this is not the case, which involves the ownership of the Shengjie Army-Zhao Ji and Tong Guan finally separated the Shengjie Army from the Western Army, how could it be possible for the people of the Western Army to get involved in the Shengjie Army again?
This also involved the power struggle between the Command Department and the Fuxuan Division.

Normally, the command department is the department that leads the army to fight, but it does not have the right to deploy troops, while the Xuanfu Division is the department that controls the command department, and it does not have the right to command troops.

Take the victory over the Czech Army as an example.

That is, the Xuanfu Division is in charge of the command headquarters, and the command department is in charge of the Shengjie Army.

Take the victory over the Czech Army as an example.

The normal procedure should be that the Xuanfu Division gives orders to the Command, and the Command gives orders to the Shengjie Army.

If you add Zhao Ji again.

It should be that Zhao Ji gave the order to the Xuanfu Division, the Xuanfu Division gave the order to the Commander, and the Commander gave the order to the Shengjie Army.

As a result, Zhao Ji directly ordered Zhong Shidao to set up a commanding department for the capital, and the Xuanfu Division did not want to plant Shidao, um... it should be said that he did not want people from the Western Army (no matter who from the Western Army will be the commander-in-chief) It's all the same) and then get involved in the victory of the Jie army, and he is afraid that the teacher will not obey his orders to guard against the teacher's way, so there is this matter of taking off his pants and farting.

To put it bluntly, the emperor didn't trust the military commanding general, and the troop dispatching department didn't trust the troop commanding department either, and the troop commanding general didn't trust the emperor and the troop dispatching department, who kept making small moves, and they were wary of each other.

In addition, the troop deployment department competed with the military command department for military power.

In short, the upper echelons of the Song Army are full of contradictions.

Not only the upper ranks, but also the lower ranks of the Song Army, especially the Sheng Jie Army, which Zhao Ji and Tong Guan placed high hopes on.

Conquering Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La consecutively, especially after going through the affluent Jiangnan, the Shengjie Army made a fortune from top to bottom.

In addition, in order to win over the Shengjie Army, Zhao Ji and Tong Guan gave the soldiers of the Shengjie Army extremely generous rewards.

As a result, all the soldiers of the Shengjie army were very rich.

To die, Zhao Ji and Tong Guan let the Sheng Jie Army station in the prosperous Huaining Mansion.

As a result, the soldiers of the Shengjie Army either started to do business in Huaining Mansion, or they became a family in Huaining Mansion, or they spent all day in restaurants, brothels, and gambling houses in Huaining Mansion. That lot of wealth.

All in all, the soldiers of the Shengjie Army were unwilling to leave the prosperous Huaining Mansion and go north to fight.

And the military order was changed day and night (under the persecution of Wang Lin and Jia Ping, Liu Guangshi finally withdrew the order of the headquarters in public, and Wang Lin and Jia Ping re-issued the same order on behalf of the Xuanfu Department).

In addition, Wang Lin and Jia Ping, who wanted to highlight Xuan Fusi, made blind promises but could not keep them.

In addition, after seeing that none of the victorious Czech army was willing to go to the battle, Wang Lin and Jia Ping were furious, and then approached Liu Guangguo and Xin Yongzong and asked them to "cut off a few donkey heads" to make an example-they wanted the two generals Liu and Xin Immediately brought several stabbing officers and beheaded them on the spot, and ordered the Yuanmen to play tricks on the police, and wanted to use those stabbing heads to exercise the prestige of Xuan Fusi.

As a result, the Shengjie army mutinied, almost killed Wang Lin and Jia Ping, and burned down the hotel—in fact, the assassins of the Shengjie army were just trying to scare Wang Lin and Jia Ping, who were holding chicken feather swords. The purpose is still not to leave Huaining Mansion and go north to fight.

Later, when Liu Guangshi saw that something was wrong, he rode alone to find the Zhongshi and borrowed Ma Zheng and a cavalry to suppress the mutiny, and then escorted the Shengjie army north to Xiongzhou to join the war.

The Xihe Army led by Yao Pingzhong arrived in Xiongzhou after the Shengjie Army. They were only a few days later than the Shengjie Army, and they were ahead of the command headquarters and the rest of the Jingyuan Army, which should have arrived earlier than the Xihe Army.

There is nothing wrong with Zhongshi's way, but Yao Pingzhong, who is eager to win in everything, deliberately marched in a hurry, surpassing Zhongshi's way.

At dusk on March 29, which was the deadline stipulated by the imperial court that the Western Army must arrive at the front line of Xiongzhou, Zhong Shidao rushed to Xiongzhou with the headquarters and the Jingyuan Army.

So far, all the Western Army has reached the front line of Xiongzhou.

In addition, the Erlong Army led by Song Jiang also arrived at the front line of Xiongzhou as scheduled.

At the beginning of April in the fourth year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan set off for the north.

Before leaving, Zhao Ji called Tong Guan to his side and taught him three strategies for patrolling the border: if the Yan people were happy, they took it because of the restoration of the old territory; also.

It is not difficult to see from Zhao Ji’s three frontier patrol strategies for Tong Guan that Zhao Ji does not want to use war to recover Yanjing, he wants to peacefully recover Yanjing through political and diplomatic means, if it is really impossible, he will stand still and change In other words, Zhao Ji doesn't want to fight, he just wants to make money.

Later, Zhao Ji appointed Cai You as his deputy envoy to lead the army together with Tong Guan—in fact, Zhao Ji sent Cai You to act as the supervisor of the army.

Cai You soon left the capital with a team of troops and headed north.

As soon as Cai You and his party arrived at Chenqiaoyi, something very unpleasant happened to Cai You.

At dusk that day, two bannermen suddenly ran away.

The two banners with the words "Young Teacher, Jiedu Envoy" and "Vice Envoy of Xuan Fu" were also abducted by these two flag soldiers.

The officers and soldiers discussed in private, saying that this was an ominous sign.
