I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 534 The Most Worried

Han Qi's guess was finally confirmed.

In a few days, Hongling express deliveries came from Hebei Road and Yanyan Road, all of which reported that envoys had entered the country.

That's right, as expected, something went wrong inside Liaoxia.

In the past few days, details about the offensive and defensive battle at Yanmen Pass have been sporadically revealed.

After Di Qing arrived in Hedong, he asked Daizhou to strengthen the walls and clear the fields, but did not increase troops at Yanmen Pass.After receiving Di Qing's order, the guard general of Yanmen Pass resolutely abandoned Yanmen Pass just as the Liaoxia coalition forces were coercing the people into attacking the city.

Five thousand soldiers not only withstood the [-]-day siege, but also caused tens of thousands of casualties to the Liao and Xia coalition forces.

What is even more frightening is that after the Liaoxia Allied Forces entered Yanmenguan City, before they had time to digest the joy of breaking through the pass, the soldiers ambushing in the Guancheng Gunpowder Depot lit the gunpowder depot, causing the Liaoxia Allied Forces to suffer nearly 2000 casualties again.

It is precisely because of the two completely different situations of victory in breaking Yanmen Pass and excessive casualties that caused disputes within Liaoxia.

In the end, the general trend of victory at Yanmen Pass was adopted, and envoys were sent to Bianliang again to seek benefits...~It should be like this, and only in this way can everything be straightened out.

"Since you're here, let's see you. We are a country of etiquette, and etiquette must not be abandoned. It's also a good time to buy time for the east and west armies to gather."

Seeing the envoys sent by Liaoxia, everyone was quite relaxed.Hearing Fu Bi's ridicule like this, even Wang Anshi grinned.

Indeed, the past few days have been really tormenting, the unclear military situation, the weird coalition forces, and the earlier plan did not go smoothly.

Now it's all right, the envoy has driven away all the anxiety, everything is going on almost according to the setting, and he can't help but feel teasing.

"Whether it is Xixia or Beiliao, it is impossible not to pay attention to the movements of the frontier troops. The assembly of the two armies from the east and the west still needs to be cautious, so as to avoid falling short of success."

This is not redundant, but it is useless.Lu Gongbi is not considered a civil servant who knows military affairs, or he doesn't know anything at all.

"Baochen is too worried. Whether it is Guo Kui or Zizheng, they are veterans who have experienced many battles. Besides, Cao Lin, Gao Jingxian and others followed the officials in the southern and northern wars. They fought many ambushes, mobile warfare and Stealth warfare."

"I think back then when I led the [-] imperial guards, I was humiliated by the [-] guard battalion led by the officials. They have the essence of the officials in stealth. Don't worry!"

Wen Yanbo also showed a rare smile for many days.

It felt like victory was in sight.

"Your Majesty, this escort needs an imperial edict. Originally Zhang Dun and Su Zhe went to Hebei with the army, and they were ordered to help Duke Lu handle border affairs, but they actually went out with Guo Kui's army..."

"As for the envoys of the Western Xia envoys... Cai Que's official duties in Xihe should also be over. Besides, Cai Que is in Xihe, and the order that affects the defense of Xihe will come out. Your Majesty, let Cai Que be the successor envoy." , go back to court with the Xixia envoys!"

Wang Anshi is still worried about Wang Shao, what's the big deal?Forget it, Zhao Xi already knew about Wang Shao.

Others also looked at Wang Anshi a little strangely... This dude is really protecting his weaknesses.

"Your Majesty, Hebei Road can send Dou Bian there. Cai Que is the fourth year of Jiayou, and he still needs to be higher than Cai Que in terms of qualifications to accompany Beiliao. Dou Bian is the second year of Jiayou, so there is nothing to choose Come on."

You have already torn your face and fought, and you are still talking about etiquette here?

Zhao Xi also knew that this was Fu Bi's way of expressing his joy.

Really happy, this is a big battle to formulate strategies collectively!Up to now, the military situation is more and more developing towards the success of this big plan, so why are everyone unhappy.

These are all nonsense, Zhao Xi doesn't care.In fact, Zhao Xi was really worried about driving at this time, worried about the itinerary of the east and west armies, and worried about whether they could form a large encirclement with the central army before Liao Xia could react.

It's one thing to talk around the sand table, but it's another thing to actually march on the ground.

Although Zhao Xi's current sand table is quite accurate, the Huangcheng Division in charge of field surveys has been taught mathematics by Jia Xian's brother Zhu Ji himself, and Zhao Xi also learned the altimetry method by face-to-face instruction.

But the real march cannot be described clearly on the sand table, there are too many uncertain factors.

It may be relatively easy for the West Route Army. After all, they have fought against Xixia for many years. The entire topography of Fuyan, Huanqing, and Linfu has been visited by the Western Army. Even after crossing the Yellow River east, it is also a relatively densely populated area.

But the marching route of the Eastern Route Army was much more difficult.

Since ancient times, there are only a few roads going west from Hebei Road to Hedong Road.Jingxing Pass, Niangziguan, Dongyangguan, Huguan...

But this time it was biased towards the north, and it was necessary to hide the North Liao on the Zhongjing Road and the Liaoxia Allied Forces that had already entered Daizhou to enter the Daizhou area, which was not so difficult.

Zhao Xi just told Guo Kui the general marching route on the sand table... He vaguely remembered the Daqin Railway and Xinfu Expressway in later generations. He was not sure about the exact location, but he knew that they were all in northern Shanxi.

All of these require the Eastern Route Army to explore the way before the battle~... The long Taihang Mountains are high and steep, with ups and downs.

No one would believe that these thieves were pure thieves.

Located on the border between the Northern Liao Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty, it would be more appropriate to say that they are smugglers rather than thieves.

This time the East Route Army's westward journey required stealth, so the army had to eliminate the thieves in Taihang Mountain all the way.

In this way, Guo Kui's wisdom will be tested on how to successfully accomplish the three tasks of sneaking, exploring, and eliminating thieves.

This is also the reason why Zhao Xi put the species in Hubei to the west, and Guo Kui came out of Hebei Road.

Zhong E tends to be aggressive, the kind of fierce and aggressive general, while Guo Kui is relatively more prudent, and belongs to the temperament of prudence and progress.

At the same time, when Zhao Xi made the arrangements, the journey from Fuyan and Huanqing to Daizhou was longer than the westbound journey from Hebei Road, which also took into account the personalities of the two coaches.

From Tang County in Hebei Road...~ In the territory of Hebei Road, it should be no problem for the army to sneak.

Strictly from Tang County to the west, you enter the long Taihang Mountains, all of which are high mountains. In this era, Taihang Mountains are still in the wild... Alas, it is difficult for Lao Guo.

Even though Zhao Xi sent soldiers from the old guard battalion to the East Route Army when dispatching troops, he was still worried about the East Route Army.

Hope it goes well!
When the Huangcheng Division surveyed the topography, they roughly marked the thieves scattered in the Taihang Mountains. This was the greatest help to Guo Kui's East Route Army.

But that is a thief!They are a group of desperate people who have no sense of shame, no concept of family and country, and even lack of humanity but are familiar with the terrain...

"Your Majesty, believe in Guo Kui's ability... now you can only believe!"

Zhao Xi was so focused on the sand table that he didn't even notice that Fu Bi and the others had entered the council hall, and watched with him for a long time, and understood his concerns based on his concerns.

"I also know that worrying is useless, but the stealth of the Eastern Route Army is indeed the key to this battle."

It is necessary to form an encirclement, so that the planning of this war can be victorious, and both are indispensable.
