Chapter 630 Promote Song Jingang (first update)
Songmo Protectorate.

In the lobby of the Duhu Mansion, Guo Xiaoke, the Duhufu, is sitting on a tiger leather chair with a golden knife.The next one is Tudiji, the commander of the Mohe tribe, Cui Xu, the commander of the Dingling tribe, Etuo, the commander of the Xi tribe, and Ku Moli, the leader of the Xu tribe of the Khitan region.

Guo Xiaoke ruled Liaodong County for several years, he was decisive in dealing with affairs, and he was able to show kindness to others, so he was very prestigious among Fanhu.

Now Guo Xiaoke picked up the bowl, gulped down a big gulp, pointed to the map of Saibei on the table and said to everyone: "Everyone, we have established a firm foothold in Bailang Mountain, but Huo'er is cautious about all departments on the grassland. But it hasn’t stopped. Several Khitan tribes have made a comeback with the support of the Goguryeo people. As far as I know, they are now entrenched near Wuhuan Mountain. Now Dahe and his son have lost power, and the Khitan tribes will re-elect Khan. If there is a new Khan , it will be very bad for us to unite the scattered Khitan ministries."
When Guo Xiaoke said this, he paused and pointed to the location of Wuhuan Mountain on the map: "This Wuhuan Mountain is located in the center of the Huoershen Grassland, overlooking all sides. If you control this place, you will control this grassland, and the nearby water and grass are luxuriant, which is very suitable for Grazing, His Majesty told me and the capital back then that if the city was built on Bailang Mountain, the next step would be to build a city on the Huoershen Grassland and go deep into the grassland. Occupying here will not only strengthen our army, but also Cut off the connection between Turkic and Goguryeo."

"I intend to attack Wuhuan Mountain, what do you think?"

The four Fanren generals nodded together. They all knew the importance of Wuhuan Mountain. It used to be the Khan Court of the Wuhuan tribe. Later, Wuhuan was defeated by Cao Cao, and Wuhuan fell into fragments, and finally merged into Xianbei.Since then, Wuhuan Mountain has been occupied by the Khitan people.Although the Xi people and the Khitan people generally come from Xianbei, the custom of the Xi people is to braid their hair, and the Wuhuan people, like the Khitan people, have the custom of knitting their heads, so some Khitan tribes now recognize the Wuhuan people as their ancestors.
The four Fanren were very interested in Wuhuan Mountain, not just to cut off the plan between Goguryeo and Turks, but also for the lush aquatic plants on the Huoershen Grassland.Occupying Wuhuan Mountain, the forces of various ministries can expand from the south of the grassland to the entire grassland.

This is also Li Chongjiu's consistent policy. When the two parties have common interests, they will work together.Just as Li Chongjiu mobilized the Fan army to go south to fight, in return, Li Chongjiu also often gained a foothold on the grassland outside the Great Wall for the various tribes of the Fan tribe and expanded the pasture.
Now that Guo Xiaoke proposes to attack Wuhuan Mountain, all the generals are motivated.

Er Tuo said: "Autumn is coming soon, our department can dispatch 1 cavalry, and if Guo Duhu needs more troops, we can send another [-] cavalry."

This is the strength of Shi Dexi's four major commanding armies. After ten years of gathering together, Shi Dexi's tribe has occupied the entire Wuhou Qinshui grassland, the grassland to the north of Huangshui, and the south of Huo'ershen grassland. to vote.The power of Shi Dexi Sibu grew like a snowball.

Among them, Yinghe Fu, the strongest, was able to mobilize [-] cavalry casually.The four ministries mobilized even [-] cavalry troops. This is not counting the Liaoxi Mohe, Dingling, Mukunxi, Khitan, and Goguryeo ministries.Otherwise, as the current overlord of the grasslands, the Turkic people would not be so afraid of Shi Dexi.

Although the original Turkic people mobilized with all their strength, coupled with the forces of various grassland ministries, they claimed to have 40 cavalry.Of course, this is theoretical. In fact, in general, Turkic invasions in the south can mobilize 20 people.What's more, the original Turkic subordinates such as the Shiwei tribe, the Khitan tribe, and the Xi tribe were all beaten to a half by the Zhao army's Dexi tribe. Now that Chu Luo wants to mobilize troops, there must be less than 40 riders.

Er Tuo spoke with confidence, and he looked at Ku Moli, the leader of the Xu army in the Khitan District.Ku Moli was the head of the District Xu Department, one of the Khitan's three tribes that surrendered back then, and is now the leader of the army under Er Tuo's command.In the past two years, Ku Moli has led the clansmen to cultivate and thrive. Although the District Xu Department has not recovered its vitality, it can be regarded as a firm foothold.

Ku Moli said to Etuo very cautiously: "This spring, there was a horse plague in the clan, and the horses lost a lot. If there are two thousand horses in the battle, there will still be some Xubu in our district."

Er Tuo said: "What's the matter? I will give you five hundred horses, and you will send three thousand horses. The Huo'ershen Grassland was originally the territory of the Xubu of your district. You are most familiar with the terrain here."
Hearing Etuo's words, Ku Moli kowtowed to Etuo overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Lord Commander."

Cui Xu, the general of the Ding Ling Department, also said: "You are all cavalry, and my Ding Ling Department will send out infantry and chariot soldiers, also 3000 people. If the general guard needs more troops, I will send another [-] people from Liaodong County."

Guo Xiaoke waved his hand and said: "That's not necessary, this battle is my Songmo Dufu's business, don't involve Liaodong County, Zhou Zhou, the governor of Liaodong County, is said to be a difficult person to talk to. I won't go to him , he also don’t come to beg me, everyone does not offend the river water. 3000 people are enough.”

Cui Xu took the order immediately.

At that moment, everyone looked at Tudiji, who was commanding the army of Mohe.It is well known that the Mohe people are brave and good at fighting. Due to the high salary of the soldiers of the Zhao army, many Mohe warriors went to the army to join the army, and among them was the famous armored cavalry of Ugunai.

Now there are more than 7 Mohe soldiers serving among the more than 3000 soldiers of the Zhao Army, and there are only more than 5000 soldiers of Shi Dexi's army serving among the soldiers of the Zhao Army.Even among the [-] standing troops in the Songmo Protectorate's Mansion, soldiers from the Mohexi clan accounted for half of them.
Tu Diji stretched out five fingers and said, "5000 troops."
Hearing what Tudiji said, everyone showed relief. With five thousand brave and skilled Mohe soldiers joining, Guo Xiaoke secretly thought that the matter was over.

This time the attack on Wuhuan Mountain was still dominated by 2000 cavalry from Ertuo, 1000 defenders in White Wolf City, 5000 Goguryeo military households, and [-] Khitan Ding Lingmohe, for a total of [-] troops.

After discussing with the generals, they agreed to dispatch troops in [-] days and disband the accounts immediately.

Guo Xiaoke was about to have dinner, but at this time the gate officer came to report: "The new Lieutenant Tuntian, who came to report, refused to obey the military order and wanted to transfer his position. He said he came from Youjing and was from the Tingwei Army. He wanted to join the army. Patrol the city with a cavalry, don't go to the fields."

Guo Xiaoke listened and scolded: "Damn it, the gang of the Tingwei Army are all sons and soldiers, and if they can produce some good products, tell him this is not the Tingwei Army. I don't care what his background is, I have tightened his wings. If he dares to make a move, he will be disabled. First, take off the [-]th military stick for me."
"promise."

At the Duhu Mansion, Wang Shi, who was full of repayment, ate twenty army sticks on the first day he came to White Wolf City.

After being beaten with military sticks, Wang Shi was carried to the rest room by two servants.A servant saw Wang Shi's buttocks and cried: "Master, I have heard that this guy named Guo is a murderer without blinking an eye. I didn't expect to beat you like this. Master, I will write a book and report it to the master." .”

"Bastard! Don't tell my father about this embarrassing thing," Wang Shi scolded, "otherwise I will have to eat another twenty army sticks."

"Then tell your majesty and the queen. Your majesty is not sure, but the queen will definitely support you."

Wang Shi thought for a while and said: "Okay, I will write to the queen, but I am not allowed to say that I was beaten, just say that someone in the Songmo Governor's Mansion tripped me up and asked me to be the captain of Tuntian. The opportunity for me to go to the front line to do meritorious service.”

"Okay." The servant immediately agreed after hearing this.

Zhao Jun's fleet, which went north and returned to Youjing, landed at Liyangdu Wharf.

"The last general, Song Jingang, pays his respects to His Majesty."

On the pier, as soon as Li Chongjiu got off the boat, General Song Jingang stepped forward and kowtowed to Li Chongjiu.

Li Chongjiu said with a smile: "General Song, you don't need to perform such a grand ceremony with your armor on."

"The end will not dare."

Song Jingang looked respectful, completely different from the somewhat domineering Song Jingang Li Chongjiu knew in the past.

Li Chongjiu said to Song Jingang: "I have read your record in the memorial to suppress bandits in Bohai. Uproot it. Tell me what you can do?"

Song Jingang said: "The final general relies on His Majesty's Tianwei, but when the flag of Zhao arrives, the bandits and bandits all surrender, so how can the final general have any merit?"

Li Chongjiu said with a smile when he heard the words: "You will say good things, tell me the truth, I don't like to hear compliments."

Song Jingang lowered his head, and immediately told about the suppression of the bandits in Bohai, the more Li Chongjiu listened, the more he praised him: "Aiqing is really a good general, it only took two months to put down the bandits, no wonder I was defeated by you back then .”

Song Jingang hurriedly crouched down and said in panic: "Your Majesty said so, the general really doesn't know how to deal with himself."

Li Chongjiu helped Song Jingang up with a smile and said: "You can only know victory when you know defeat. Isn't Song Aiqing also my good general now? I heard that you have suppressed the bandits and recruited their elite into an army, with 3000 troops."

Song Jingang immediately said: "Your Majesty, these bandits have been in the Bohai Sea for many years. The officers and soldiers couldn't do anything about him. I saw his bravery, so I recruited them as soldiers. But I am also very distressed. These people have been bandits for a long time, and their military discipline is so bad. One point. The general is rectifying."

Li Chongjiu said: "It doesn't matter if the military discipline is poor. Now the court is employing people. It's good that you have recruited a strong army. You are still a general of Yingyanglang. The status of commanding 3000 troops is not enough. I will promote you to Huya General Lang."

After hearing this, Song Jingang said hastily: "The last general was born and surrendered. It is a great grace for His Majesty Meng not to kill him. How dare you become a general."

Li Chongjiu smiled and said: "I use people on their merits. I don't care about your background. If you have military achievements, you should be promoted. I will promote you as a general. There is one more important thing that I have to tell you to do."

Song Jingang said solemnly: "Your Majesty's kindness to the last general is like rebuilding, but if there is any order, I will go through fire and water to do it."

"Okay, you also know that Xu Shiji is leading an army to attack Shandong. Shandong Qi Gongshun and Zang Junxiang are strong enemies. I am worried that General Xu will not be able to pacify Shandong alone. I want you to lead these 3000 troops to the south to help."

Song Jingang said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for valuing the last general and pacifying Shandong. I don't know if your majesty has any opportunity to teach the last general face to face?"
