Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 160 The Situation of the Song Dynasty

------------

Not to mention that Yan Zonghan led the soldiers and horses to leave the Menggu grassland and return to the Dajin Kingdom, and at the same time he could plan a full-scale attack on Goryeo. [This chapter is updated by a friend] Han Shizhong, Lu Zhishen and others have entered the depths of the forest at this moment, and joined Yang Xiong, Shi Xiu and others. When they meet, they are naturally very happy.

Going all the way, although the extreme north is cold, the terrain is relatively flat. Although there are many trees, there are also many grasslands. Menggu horses are far more adaptable to harsh environments than other horses, so along the way, apart from some Except for dozens of horses who fell ill, the rest of the horses were all normal and seemed to be alive and well.

"Compared with Khitan horses and Xixia horses, these Mongolian horses have much better stamina!" Han Shizhong praised the neck of a black horse beside him while resting at night.

"How is it compared to the Gaoli horse?" Lu Zhishen said.

"Korea horses are also okay... Actually, the Koryo horses are mainly imported Liaodong horse breeds, and the ancients paid tribute horses. In the future, they must have many ancient meng horses." Shi Xiu said.

"It's natural, these foreigners have much more horses than us!" Han Shizhong said.

For those powerful foreigners, the number of horses is unimaginable. What they lack is not horses, but people!If these foreigners could have the number of Han people, plus their riding skills, plus that many horses, they would have conquered the world long ago.

While everyone was talking, brothers Tong Wei and Tong Meng arrived. They had some cooked wild chicken in their hands and gave them to everyone for them to feast on.

In the forests of the extreme north, there are many beasts, and a good hunter can kill countless prey every day.Therefore, this group of people in Liangshan did not encounter the problem of hunger along the way, and they ate all kinds of game every day.

"Monk, how is the situation in the Central Plains now?" Han Shizhong asked suddenly.

"The situation in the Central Plains is not very good. Hua Shi Gang is in danger, and the people in the south of the Yangtze River are becoming more and more overwhelmed. I think the people in the south of the Yangtze River will revolt by the end of this year at the latest! Except for the south of the Yangtze River, the Khitan people in the north are more and more aggressive. Terrible, the officers and soldiers of the imperial court dare not confront the Khitan people, and the people in the north are mourning everywhere. There are also Xixia people in the northwest, who are also eyeing the Song Dynasty and may invade us at any time." Lu Zhishen said.

"Looking at the situation in the Central Plains, this is almost a sign of annihilation!" Han Shizhong sighed.

"***, if it was a few hundred years ago, the country would be subjugated if the country was subjugated. It would be a big deal to change the court. At that time, we Han people will still be the emperor, and we Han people will still be in charge of the world! But now, the foreign races are so powerful. There are Khitan in the north and Khitan in the west. There is Xixia, and there are Nv Zhenren in the north, if the Central Plains is subjugated now, wouldn’t these foreigners rule the world?” Yang Xiong scolded.

"I hope Liangshan can be stronger! Now that we have conquered Koryo, if one day we can destroy Nvzhen and occupy Liaodong, then we will have the real strength to aspire to the Central Plains. Even if the Song Dynasty perishes, it will be My world in Liangshan will not be the world of foreigners!" Han Shizhong said.

After staying in Liangshan for these years, Han Shizhong's thoughts finally changed.He is no longer loyal to the imperial court, but for the sake of the future of the entire China and the Han people.He now hopes that the court can persist for a few more years, at least until Liangshan occupies Liaodong.

"After we go back, we must train the army well and wait for the future war." Yang Xiong said.

"That's right, that's the reason. By the way, Yang Xiong, I heard from the governor that he intends to put you in charge of the Korean army." Han Shizhong said.

"What? How could this happen?" Yang Xiong was obviously taken aback.

The so-called Koryo army is those "Red Guards", and now the official name is "Korea Second Army", which is used to distinguish the "Korea First Army" composed entirely of Han Chinese.Neither Han Shizhong nor Yang Xiong and others have ever put this "Second Korean Army" in their eyes. In the eyes of everyone, the so-called "Second Korean Army" is just cannon fodder. These Koreans are used to die, so there is no need to train too seriously. On weekdays, the main thing is to conduct round-the-clock propaganda work for them, and cultivate their absolute loyalty to Wu Dong. As long as they are not afraid of death and do not betray Luan, it will be fine.

It was hard for Yang Xiong to believe that he would be sent to the Second Koryo Army to be in charge of things there.

"Han Shizhong, are you talking nonsense?" Yang Xiong said.

"It's not nonsense, it's true." Han Shizhong said.

"How could this be? I am the commander of the majestic Fourth Army. What's the matter with taking care of those Koreans who have no fighting power?" Yang Xiong frowned.

"After you go back, you can report to the governor that you don't want to do such a thing. I believe the governor will not force you?" Han Shizhong said.

"Okay, after I go back, I will definitely ask the governor." Yang Xiong said sullenly.

The next morning, everyone continued on their way.

On this day, everyone unexpectedly encountered a pack of wolves!

However, the wolves in the forest are far from being able to compare with the wolves on the grassland. Their number is very small, only about 100, but these 100 wolves actually killed more than ten war horses. It's not time to save bows and arrows, dozens of wolves were shot to death, and today's dinner is guaranteed.

Walking in the forest like this, because riding a horse, the speed is much faster than when I came here.

It only took about 20 days, and everyone actually reached the easternmost edge of the forest, close to the seaside.

"Look, there are a lot of houses over there!" Han Shizhong said while standing on a high slope, looking down.

"I'll go over there to have a look!" Shi Xiu said.

But before Shi Xiu passed by, the people over there had already noticed the situation here, and immediately dozens of people came out of the houses over there and headed towards this side.

"It's from Liangshan!" When those people got closer, Han Shizhong recognized the military uniforms on them, so he immediately relaxed and said with a smile.

The dozens of people were getting closer and closer to everyone, and everyone saw the military uniforms on them, but their expressions changed slightly.

Because the people who came were not only Han Chinese, there were even people dressed as women among them.

"What's going on?" Han Shizhong frowned.

"Could it be a savage?" Yang Xiong asked uncertainly.

As for Lu Zhishen, Shi Xiu and the others, they were already vigilant. They came from it and had never seen these savages before.

"I'll go up and ask!" Han Shizhong said.

He rode towards these people, and when he got closer to them, he shouted: "Stop!"

"General Han, it's me, Ruan Liu!" A man in front suddenly said with a smile.

"Hey, it really is you!" Han Shizhong immediately recognized this person. This person is one of Ruan Xiaoqi's personal soldiers. He came out of Shijie Village with Ruan Xiaoqi at the beginning, and he is of the same clan as Ruan Xiaoqi.Seeing Ruan Liu, Han Shizhong got off his horse, pointed at those savages and said, "Why are there savages in our army?"

Ruan Liudao: "General Han, these savages were captured by the governor from Kudao! Now follow our navy to maintain order in Beihai County."

Han Shizhong asked in surprise: "How to recover them?"

Ruan Liu said with a smile: "We can make them follow us with only a steel knife! But these barbarians don't know discipline and are difficult to train. But they dare to charge and kill. When we established a village here, I met a lot of tigers, most of which were killed by these savages. In addition to these savages, there are also many Oroqen people who joined our army. Now they are all members of our navy."

Han Shizhong said: "How many people are there in total? Also, why are you building a village here?"

Ruan Liudao: "There are not many people, only 2000 people... There are tens of thousands of people in total on the big island, and it is not bad to have 2000 people join! We set up a village here to support you, General Han! Congratulations to Han! General, you have brought so many war horses!"

Han Shizhong nodded with a smile, and said: "This time I have gained a lot! Well, these war horses may still need ships to transport them back. You should hurry up and inform your navy!"

Ruan Liudao: "General Han, you come with me first, someone has already informed Commander Ruan and them."

It was already dusk, and everyone stayed in the village here. The next morning, more than 100 large ships appeared on the sea in the distance.The big ship was extremely fast, riding the wind and breaking through the waves, and soon came to the shore.

Ruan Xiaoqi got off the boat and was overjoyed to see Han Shizhong and others, and said, "Congratulations to General Han for bringing the horse back!"

Han Shizhong looked at the 100 big ships and said, "How many horses can your ship carry?"

Ruan Xiaoqi said: "Each boat can have at most 100 horses, no more! How many horses did you bring back?"

Han Shizhong said: "Thirty thousand horses!"

Ruan Xiaoqi was taken aback, and said: "So many? It seems that they will be divided several times! After I go back this time, I will requisition all the merchant ships in Incheon Port, and let the merchant ships help transport the horses!"

From Kudao to Goryeo, the journey is also very long, and it takes about ten days. After such a delay, it will take more than a month just to transport these horses to Goryeo.

"When you come from Korea, bring more brick tea and weapons, so that we can go to Menggu Grassland to sell horses again! Winter comes very fast in the extreme north, and we must bring back another horse before winter comes." Han Shi Zhongdao.

"General Han, you may not need to go to the Menggu Grassland next time! Mr. Duan, Tong Wei, Tong Meng and the others can go! You and Yang Xiong have to go back to train the army. In winter, there may be wars. You The number of cavalry will be expanded, and you only have a few months to train soldiers. And Yang Xiong, the governor has already said that you will be in charge of the second army, and you have to work with those Koreans." Ruan Xiaoqi said.

"This..." Han Shizhong was taken aback, thought for a while, and said, "I want to meet the governor in person and tell him about the situation of Menggu. There is a real woman in Menggu, and I am afraid that the real lady will send an army to block our traffickers." Ma Road, so I'd better go again. Even if I don't go, Yang Xiong will follow."

"Okay, but the governor is in Dongpu now." Ruan Xiaoqi said.
