Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 142
Fan Zhuoyuan was also polite, walked straight to his seat, raised his glass, and drank it with everyone.

Before Fan Zhuoyuan came, Tong Guan seemed to have drunk quite a bit, and he was talking with a bit of a big tongue at this moment.

"Fan Yuhou, if you hadn't had the courage to counterattack this time, I'm afraid... this seat has become the laughing stock of the world!
Now that you lose first, you win first. When the main force of Zhuozhou gathers here and deploys defenses, I will withdraw Liu Yanqing and promote you to be the commander of the armies!And then conquer the rest of the states for my Song Dynasty! "

Guo Yaoshi and Wang Ting looked up at Fan Zhuoyuan, they both lowered their heads and ate their food, silently, obviously this matter was extremely sensitive and they were not the ones who dared to intervene.

Liu Yanqing is a member of the party, and has always been Tong Guan's confidant. The first time he attacked Yanyun in the north, he was the commander in chief. However, he was promoted by Tong Guan because he was defeated by two thousand cavalry from Yelu Dashi. It was also Tong Guan who led the Western Army. One of the main figures who overwhelmed the generals of the Western Army at that time.

Even if it caused a big defeat, how could it be possible to just throw it away.

Fan Zhuoyuan put down his wine glass and said: "Fan Yan came to the Song Dynasty, he has no roots in the Song Dynasty, let alone seniority, how can he command the three armies, please don't make such jokes.

If it is possible, I would like to ask Xuanfu to send the first thousand soldiers of the Jie army and the Liao army to surrender to me. I will train a team of brave soldiers for the Song Dynasty! "

Tong Guan said with a half-smile, "Doesn't Marquis Fan Yu want to lead our 20 Song army?"

Fan Zhuoyuan sneered in his heart, and said to himself: "According to the original trajectory of history, only a few tens of thousands of your 20 army could escape back to Zhuozhou in the end.

Since the Shenzong Dynasty, the accumulated military reserves have been completely lost.

Besides, I am not afraid of retraining the new army, but I am afraid of the army with intricate internal factions.A single part of the Western Army can be called an elite force that can fight independently.

But the Western Army is already in chaos, and when you add a group of Hebei Forbidden Army, there is a mixed bag of fish and dragons inside, they don't agree with each other, and they don't even listen to each other's orders. "

Thinking this way in his heart, he evaded and said: "Hehe, Director Liu has made great military achievements, and he has made great achievements in fighting Xixia and suppressing Fang La.

Moreover, as far as military strategists are concerned, victory or defeat is a common matter for military strategists. If General Manager Liu is dismissed because of this battle, I am afraid that the lieutenant general will be difficult to accept, and Fan will not be able to give orders because he has no qualifications. "

Tong Guan thought for a while, then nodded, "Xiao Qian was tired and I was defeated, and I don't know the number of casualties. Fortunately, this dog has been beheaded by Fan Yuhou, and I feel the hatred in my heart!"
It is also common to rebuild a new formation, but Fan Yuhou really wants to use the Liao army to surrender? "

Mu Qingyan who was on the side also asked curiously: "The Liao army fought fiercely with me, and suffered heavy casualties. I can't help but harbor hatred in my heart. Is there something wrong with General Fan's use of Liao people?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said: "The Khitan in the land of Yan are all Sinicized, less nomadic and more farming, and they are accustomed to war, so they can be used.

Next, our army is not only going to take back Youyun Sixteen States, but also need to prevent the Jin people from going south.

Compared with hatred, the hatred between Liao people and Jin people is probably more serious!Since the Jin people raised their troops, more than one million Liao people have been killed by the Jin people.

In particular, the Jin people have always been tyrannical. Whenever they met Khitan Xi people, they would massacre the city.Tong Shuai and Miss Mu can ask this Empress Dowager Xiao if she hates Jin people more than Da Song? "

Empress Dowager Xiao smiled awkwardly. She had submitted a petition to the Kingdom of Jin before. To be specific, they not only hated the Jin people, but also feared them. Now they are almost as fearful of Jin as a tiger.

"What General Fan said is very true. The Song Dynasty has at least a hundred years of good neighborliness and friendship with our country. After the Tanyuan Alliance, the two sides have not had any major conflicts.

But since the rise of the Jinren, it is useless to slaughter our family. Speaking of Nanjing... No, there are also many families in Yanjing who sent troops to fight, and all of them died at the hands of the Jinren. Everyone has a deep-rooted hatred for the Jinren. "

Tong Guan said: "So that's it. Well, Fan Yuhou will be able to select soldiers from the soldiers of the Liao army from now on. How many troops do you plan to organize?"

Fan Zhuoyuan thought for a while, of course the more the better, but logistical support and political influence must also be considered.

To put it bluntly, I am currently pretending to be a Yanren, and I didn't think about it before I made this hasty plan.

But now, in order to gain a foothold in the Great Song Dynasty, the background of the Yan people obviously has relatively large flaws, and it is not easy to gain trust.

But there are also advantages, that is, there is no background and footsteps, and the interests of various factions within the Song Dynasty are not involved, so it is easy to win over.

If we want to form an army now, we must not have too many, too many will easily make people jealous, and too few will affect the combat effectiveness.

Fan Zhuoyuan glanced at Guo Yaoshi, this guy brought [-] ever-victorious troops to the Song Dynasty, so recruiting [-] troops by himself should be enough!
So he said: "The final general wants to use a thousand victorious Jiejun brothers as the backbone, and this must be approved by Tong Shuai.

Then select [-] soldiers from the Liao people, and then recruit [-] from the Han people in Yandi, break up the team and reorganize! "

Due to the attack on Yanjing City, the Liao army suffered a lot of casualties. In addition, the number of soldiers surrendered in the city was less than [-]. Fan Zhuoyuan chose [-], which is already a lot. , and even most of the army had to be recruited from the people of Yandi.

Of course, for this point, we will try our best to recruit from the countryside, and will not recruit people from the city of Yanjing. Compared with the rural people, the people in the city have more hearts and minds, and it is not easy to brainwash them for their own use. It is best to recruit more simple villagers.

In this way, the number of recruits and veterans in the army can reach one to one. As long as additional training is added, and through conquest of Youyun Sixteen Prefectures to deal with some weak Liao soldiers, it is enough to achieve the goal of forming an army quickly.

After hearing Fan Zhuoyuan's words, Tong Guan patted the table and said, "Okay! But I don't trust the Liao people, so you should recruit less soldiers from the Liao Kingdom. I'll give you two thousand victorious Czech troops as the backbone, and you can organize the troops for this seat." An elite army of 5000 men is coming out!"

Fan Zhuoyuan wished that all the [-] troops would be the Victory Army, but they were Tong Guan's personal soldiers, and he was worried that Tong Guan would not like it. Looking at it now, Tong Guan, the eunuch, is still very generous.

He hurriedly expressed his loyalty, cupped his hands and said: "The last general will serve Tong Shuai!"

These words can be regarded as an expression of loyalty to the service, Tong Guan was overjoyed, and laughed, the more he looked at Fan Zhuoyuan, the more pleasing to the eye.

Fan Zhuoyuan said without losing the opportunity: "Tong Shuai, there is one more thing you seem to have forgotten."

Tong Guan was surprised and said, "Oh? What's the matter?"

"Hehe, the family heirloom sword that was entrusted to Tong Shuai at the beginning, Tong Shuai will not lose it."

Tong Guan patted his forehead and said: "Indeed, I almost forgot that the knife weighs more than a hundred catties, and ordinary people can't handle it at all. Fan Yuhou is really not an ordinary person who can use this knife! After the banquet, I will send people to Yu In the waiting room."

Guo Yaoshi and Mu Qingyan looked at Fan Zhuoyuan in surprise.

Guo Yaoshi said: "Fan Yuhou can use a hundred catty sword?"

Fan Zhuoyuan said indifferently: "It's just fighting on foot. After all, Fan is better at fighting on foot than on horseback."

Wang Zhi said: "General Guo didn't see it. Brother Fan used to pick up a huge boulder with a knife in the mountains beside the road to prevent the Yelu Dashi cavalry from chasing him.

Mu Qingyan was surprised and said: "Yelu Dashi's martial arts ranks among the top ten in the Liao Kingdom. General Fan's martial arts are really powerful, but he doesn't know where he came from?"
