Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

As expected, Brother Yeluxiu was drawn again. Li Jilong and Defang led the grain guard army to march north again. After Kong Shouzheng attracted the Liao army, he quickly entered the mountain to hide. The grain guard army had already arrived at the Weilu army. After Li Jilong and Defang took a short rest, the soldiers on that day put on their armor and led the army back. Kong Shouzheng ordered the Baozhou army to return to the station. Li Jilong led the Jingsai cavalry to march south to Caohe and Xuhe to set up an array. Li Jilong also ordered lieutenants Ma Xinshan and Chen Songfu to lead a thousand spearmen and infantry to set up an ambush ten miles north of Xuhe City. Pei Ji also led five hundred archers and one One hundred spearmen and one hundred soldiers rushed to the wide road west of Caohe Xuhe, and one hundred soldiers climbed up the mountain to prepare stones for hiding.

Defang and Song Jiajun were rectifying the 1000 imperial city guards and preparing to rush to the mountain pass. Deputy generals Shang Zhaoyi and Chang Yuanzong stepped forward and said, "My lord, let's bring [-] more troops."

"No need," Defang said, "the pass on the side of the mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The cavalry of the Liao army can't give full play to their superiority in combat. The king's 1000 troops are enough to deal with it. General Shang and General Chang, you lead the troops to face the enemy with General Li. They are the main force of the Liao people. If Brother Yeluxiu wants the cavalry to exert the maximum attack power, he will definitely gather [-] heavy armored cavalry to attack the Xuhe area.

"Yes, my lord, you have to take care of yourself, the last general will surely repel the Liao people and present the victory to my lord."

"Okay, don't worry, you two, the king will be fine."

"My lord" Li Jilong and Fan Tingzhao immediately stepped forward, "It is true that the mountain pass is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but the Liao people still have [-] infantry, so I am afraid it will still be a fierce battle. The lord should be more careful."

"My king's meeting." Defang nodded, "Presumably at this time, Supervisor Li has already set up his battle lines in Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyangguan. This time, our army has only more than ten thousand soldiers, and we still have to divide our troops into three groups. War" Defang handed over "Several generals, take care, Your Majesty is still waiting for us in the capital."

"Yes! My lord!" All the generals handed over their hands and rushed to the place where they were preparing for battle.

Defang led a thousand guards of the imperial city with thick armor and rushed to the mountain pass. The pass can pass three grain carts side by side. It is not very wide and has many twists and turns. Defang beckoned, Jiajun reined in Come to the side "My lord, what's the matter?"

Defang reached out and patted Jiajun's chest, "Jiajun, this time I want you to be a real general."

"The real general? My lord, what do you mean by that?"

Defang pointed to the mountain road, "The Liao people will arrive here in a short time, Jia Jun, this king will hand over the thousand soldiers to you, and you come to form an army."

"My lord...the last general..."

Defang handed over the imperial whip to Jia Jun, "General Song, now you are the chief general, and the lives of these thousand soldiers are entrusted to you. Whether you can stop and defeat the Liao people here depends entirely on your ability." , don't delay, order quickly."

Jia Jun looked at Defang in a daze, Defang smiled, and patted him on the shoulder, "General Song, His Majesty has also appointed you as the deputy general of the army. Now you are the real general of the imperial army. Don't hesitate any more, don't order any more!" , when the Liao people attack, we will all be buried in the bottom of the valley."

Jia Jun nodded, clasped his hands and said, "The last general takes orders! Thank you, my lord!" Then he turned and shouted to the soldiers, "All soldiers will obey orders! Put the saber carts forward!"

The soldiers pushed the five knife carts and lined them up, and Jia Jun then ordered, "Take off the thick armor!"
