Reborn Wu Dalang

Chapter 170 The Arrival of the Crisis

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

The way of cultivating teachers will mobilize 20 troops, which will immediately shake the entire Northwest!

Over the years, even against the Xixia people, they have never mobilized so many troops!Even when later generations Tongguan dealt with Fang La, they never mobilized so many troops!

There are many factions in the Northwest, but the biggest factions are the Zhong Family Army and the Zhe Family Army. This time, Zhong Shidao raised an army of 10, and Zhe Keqiu mobilized an army of 20. Some garrisons in various places made up a total of [-] people.

Many of this army are well-known generals in later generations, needless to say Qu Duan, who has been following the teaching of Zhong Shi, and there is another person named Liu Guangshi, who is the son of Liu Yanqing, a leader in the Northwest Army. The famous Liu Yanei, one of the four famous generals of ZTE in the early Southern Song Dynasty, was named after Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and others.

In addition to the 20 troops in the Northwest, Taiyuan famous generals Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Chen also mobilized [-] troops to attack the Hedong theater in Liangshan. They wanted to wipe out the Hedong theater in the first battle and completely eliminate this hidden danger.

All the soldiers of the Song Army who participated in this war were very excited. They knew that they were only dealing with "grass bandits". With so many troops dispatched together, couldn't they wipe out a group of grass bandits?

At this moment, on a mountain peak in the northwest, Liu Guangshi stood on the top of the mountain, watching the mobilization of the army below, full of ambition, and standing next to him was Qu Duan, a confidant of the teacher.The relationship between the two of them is very good in private, they are both proficient in strategy, and they often talked in the past, so they can be regarded as a pair of good friends.

"It's great to be able to meet such a big battle! After this time, we can all make great achievements and achieve great achievements!" Liu Guangshi laughed.

"According to Mr. Zhong, the Liangshan bandits may not be so easy to deal with." Qu Duan frowned.

"Why is it so difficult to deal with? The bandits in Liangshan have only occupied the east of the river for two years, and they don't have much foundation at all! I heard that they only had more than 1 people when they came before, and they probably don't have many troops now. It can be said that it is easy for us to eliminate them." Liu Guangshi said.

"Be careful!" Qu Duan said.

"It's a pity that Han Shizhong is not here. If Han Shizhong is here, his talent is better than the two of us, and he will definitely shine this time." Liu Guangshi said.

The news that Han Shizhong went to Goryeo has not yet been sent back to China, so they don't even know that Han Shizhong is already from Liangshan.

"Han Shizhong may have died... What a pity!" Qu Duan sighed.

At this time, suddenly a few soldiers ran up and knelt down in front of Qu Duan and Liu Guangshi. One of the soldiers said: "Two generals, the commander has appointed a forward. I'm here to inform the two generals."

"Oh, I don't know who it is?" Qu Duan asked hastily.

"It's General Feng Mei under Mr. Tong Guan!" Xiao Bing reported.

"What? It's Fengmei? This person has no morals and incompetence, what qualifications does he have to be a pioneer?" Liu Guangshi snorted coldly, full of displeasure.

For those who are really capable, those who are in high positions but have no morals and incompetence are the most despised.Liu Guangshi had always looked down on Tong Guan's generals, and thought that this time the battle had nothing to do with Tong Guan, but who knew that Tong Guan would still push the generals in.

"Who made him Master Tong's confidant? It is said that Master Tong is also going to join the war this time!" Qu Duan shook his head.

"This damned eunuch!" Liu Guangshi snorted coldly.

"Forget it, no matter what, our generals are like clouds, and we have 20 elite soldiers. There is not much problem in conquering Hedong." Qu Duan said.

"Did the commander-in-chief say how to attack Hedong? From which direction should we attack?" Liu Guangshi asked.

"Invade from the direction of Puzhou." Qu Duan said.

"Puzhou? Why did you invade from there?" Liu Guangshi couldn't help being taken aback. Puzhou is in the southernmost part of Shanxi, far from the northwest, and it will take some time for the Northwest army to get there.

"The Yellow River is blocking us, so we can only attack from Taiyuan or Puzhou! However, there are already Zhang Xiaochun and others in the direction of Taiyuan. If we attack from the south, we can achieve the effect of the two sides attacking. It will be even more difficult to conquer the bandits in the River East. Easy." Qu Duan said.

"Zhang Xiaochun, just a Taiyuan prefect, I don't know how his troops are?" Liu Guangshi asked.

"I'm not very clear about this, it shouldn't be very strong?" Qu Duan said.

The generals of the Western Army have always looked down on the generals of the Forbidden Army, and even more so the generals of the rest of the north, but in fact, Zhang Xiaochun is also a very important figure, and the soldiers and horses of Taiyuan are also extremely powerful.

In later history, Taiyuan City was the most famous city in the late Northern Song Dynasty, not one of them. When real nv conquered the world, whether it was the cities of Liao or the Song Dynasty, almost all of them were defeated in one battle. Shangjing of Liao, one of the top ten cities in the world, could not even stop real nv for a day. Bianliang, the capital of the Song Dynasty, did not block the female real person for a long time, but Taiyuan City was an exception.Under the attack of the nvzhen army, Taiyuan City miraculously resisted for 260 days, and there was no reinforcement from the outside, and there was not much food and grass inside.At that time, Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Tian were guarding the city, and they were leading the [-] Taiyuan soldiers under their command.And the reason why Taiyuan City finally fell was mainly because of hunger.At that time, Taiyuan City had no food and grass, and the city had developed to the point of cannibalism, and a large number of soldiers starved to death. Under such circumstances, Taiyuan City could no longer resist.If there is food and grass, or if there are reinforcements outside, Taiyuan City will definitely stand there forever, preventing Nv Zhenren's West Route Army from going south.

After Zhang Xiaochun, even Zhong Shidao was vulnerable in front of the real woman, and the Zhong family army was defeated in a single battle in front of the real woman.It can be said that Zhang Xiaochun's performance was much better than that of the Western Army during the handover period between the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties.But he is not well-known now, and no one in the Western Army pays attention to him.The reason why Zhong Shidao let him play is also for strategic cooperation.

"It's a mere bandit who dares to establish himself as a king overseas. He really wants to die!" The two talked for a while, and Liu Guangshi laughed.

"It's normal for grassroots bandits to overestimate themselves. Come on, let's go down the mountain. I guess we will leave for Puzhou today." Qu Duan said.

At this moment in Fenyang, Hedong, there is a tense atmosphere.

Of course, Liangshan had received information on such a large mobilization of soldiers and horses in the Northwest. Everyone knew that the imperial court was dealing with them, and they were all nervously thinking about how to deal with the imperial court's massive attack.

Lin Chong has been staying in the Hedong Army Headquarters in Fenyang these days, and Zhu Wu is also staying there, both of them are full of sadness.Lin Chong, in particular, was very worried.

The current Hedong theater is probably not the opponent of the imperial court.

It's not that there is a shortage of troops. There are also 20 troops in the Hedong theater, which is roughly the same as the imperial court's troops.

It's not that the quality of soldiers is not as good as that of Northwest soldiers. In fact, the quality of soldiers in the Hedong theater is worse than that of Northwest soldiers.All the troops in Liangshan train from morning to night every day, doing nothing every day, just training and preparing for war!After years of training in this way, the quality of soldiers is much better than that of imperial soldiers.

The main reason is that there are not many leading generals in the Hedong theater!In order to support Goryeo in the past two years, many leading generals have gone to Goryeo!Yang Xiong was originally very talented, so he went to Korea, intelligence elites like Shi Xiu also went to Korea, and some newly grown generals also went to Korea.

Now Lin Chong, Zhu Wu, Hu Yanzhuo and others are left in the Hedong theater. Although Lin Chong used to be the head coach of the 80 forbidden army, he is good at training troops, not leading them.As for Zhu Wu, he is a military adviser and counselor. It is okay to ask him to advise, but it is not good to ask him to lead the army.Not to mention Hu Yanzhuo, he is good at serial horses. In the past two years, he has been trying to rebuild the serial horses, but he has not succeeded yet.It took more than ten years of training for his serial horse back then, and now it has only been two years, and there is no sign of it at all.

"Mr. Zhu, what do you think we should do now?" Standing in the room of the military headquarters, looking at the huge map hanging on the wall, Lin Chong asked with a frown.

"It is obviously impossible to lead the soldiers to fight them in the field. Our number of generals is too small! If the famous generals of Goryeo, Hua Rong, Yang Zhi, Han Shizhong and others were here, we could fight them in the field and try to eliminate them. Now we can only defend with all our strength! We don't want meritorious service, but we don't want faults." Zhu Wudao.

"Can we defend against them?" Lin Chong asked worriedly.

"It shouldn't be a problem, we have an advantage in military strength." Zhu Wu said.

"Military superiority?" Lin Chong couldn't help being taken aback for a moment. They only had an army of 20, which was about the same number as the imperial army. Why did Zhu Wu say it was superior in military strength?

"Don't we still have reserves? Now there are 30 reserve soldiers, all of whom can be transferred to active duty. With a 50 army, can't we still stop the 20 soldiers from the imperial court?" Zhu Wudao.

"Uh..." Lin Chong was taken aback for a moment, he had forgotten about the reserve service.

In this era, Shanxi had a very large population, much larger than that of other northern provinces, almost comparable to the populous provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.After the two Song and Yuan dynasties, because of the large population in Shanxi, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di and others immigrated from Shanxi to all parts of the country, so that later generations have the story of the big locust tree-"Ask where my ancestors are, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Shanxi Tree".Because the terrain here is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the more people in the war, the more people from all over the country ran here. During the Song Dynasty, the population advantage here has been shown, so the number of soldiers and horses that can be mobilized here is also much larger. many.

In just two years, because of the unique land policy, anyone who joins the army can get land immediately and get tax benefits at the same time, so many people in the Hedong theater want to join the army!That's why there is an army of 20 active duty and 30 reserve troops!The reserve here is the same as the reserve in Korea, they also train once every five days, and there is no problem if all of them are transferred to active duty when necessary.

"Then do this! Try to defend against the court's attack!" Lin Chong nodded.

Soon, the soldiers and horses in the Hedong theater began to mobilize and headed towards various state capitals. The focus was still on the defense of the Puzhou area. According to the information obtained by Lin Chong, the Northwest Army was mobilizing in this direction!

In addition, Lin Chong has already begun to mobilize the reserve forces, so that the reserve forces can rush to the front line.
