A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Shen An received Zhe Kexing outside the city.

"How many were killed?"

Zhe Kexing answered the question: "You didn't go to reinforce?"

Shen An smiled and said: "Since you think it's worth fighting, then I believe you."

Zhe Kexing glanced at him and said, "I killed more than two hundred people, but the heads are at the back."

The grinning head did not frighten the people of Xiongzhou, but instead attracted cheers.

"The last time the Liao army crossed the border to raid the grass valley, they killed two people from Xiongzhou."

Qian Yi felt a little dizzy when he saw these heads. He checked them carefully, and then said with a bitter smile: "Sure they are really from the Liao Dynasty. Let's go quickly. I'll wait for the order and take the king back quickly. I'm afraid there's going to be some action here."

"I'm just waiting for them to take action!"

Zhao Xu came out and seemed very calm, but Shen An, who was familiar with him, knew that this guy was excited.

He came here just to see the Liao army, but unfortunately he didn't catch up with the forward battle of Zhe Kexing, which made him a little regretful.

"Go and have a look."

Shen An took him to the front yard.

More than two hundred heads were piled together, and a fishy smell filled the air.

"How is the Liao army doing?"

"It's very powerful." Zhe Katsuyuki said sincerely: "But our army is even more powerful!"

Zhao Xu felt relieved after hearing this. He even touched the head, making Qian Yi retching and smacking his tongue.

"Is your Majesty so bold?"

A prince in a deep palace dared to touch someone's head. Really... what is that word called?

Gifted!

He didn't know that Zhao Xu had seen blood at the Jinming Pool, so he muttered: "The dragon's son and dragon's grandson are indeed extraordinary."

"The Liao army's response will be in these two days. More scouts should be sent."

"The cavalry has been sent out, and they are still active."

"The sword and axemen... there is a lot of beef and mutton here. Give them three meals a day to keep them full!"

"..."

As various orders were issued, there was an atmosphere of tension inside and outside Xiongzhou City.

However, the market was not affected. According to the merchants of Song and Liao, you beat yourselves, and we will do our business.

Businessmen are generally much more enterprising than officials, but officials are not good at it. Only after the news came out, officials in the business fields of Song and Liao Dynasties all asked for leave.

"One of them hurt himself and cut his hand with a knife... As a result, he was bleeding... He is still lying on the bed."

Qian Yi was very sad and felt that such officials were a disgrace to the Song Dynasty.

However, Shen An felt that he was an unlucky guy. Cutting his hands and injuring himself could actually cut his veins.

The next morning, the scout came back and brought back a Liao man.

"I've met the king."

This Liao man was frisked calmly, and then said: "This is the best season for spring outings. I heard that the king likes hunting... Tomorrow is a good day. It will be a pleasure to hunt some animals after breakfast."

Zhao Xu understood the meaning of these words and said in a deep voice: "How many beasts will come?"

"Ten thousand!" The Liao man regretted it after saying that, and stared at Zhao Xu and said, "Han'er is like this, always trying to gain advantage with words. Tomorrow morning...do you dare?"

Zhao Xu said calmly: "Tomorrow morning."

The Liao people sneered and were taken out. Qian Yi panicked: "Your Majesty, this is absolutely inappropriate! You should go back to Bianliang as soon as possible. As for this side, Shen Waiting is here, so he can naturally deal with the Liao people."

"I came here just to see the bravery of the Liao people. Just prepare the food and fodder."

Zhao Xu had been looking forward to this day for a long time, and now that he had the opportunity, not to mention Qian Yi, even his mother Gao Taotao couldn't stop him.

Scouts were sent out intensively, and Zhao Xu went to bed early that night.

At some point, someone was knocking on the door outside. The sound was very small, but it was enough to wake him up.

"The time hasn't come yet?"

Zhao Xu opened the door in a daze and asked.

Outside the door was Shen An, who was already fully dressed, with the long meteorite knife on his waist.

"The Liao people came here last night."

"What?" Zhao Xu's sleepiness disappeared.

"Have breakfast." Shen An took him to the front yard and said as he walked: "The Liao people want to teach us a lesson in private. They won't kill you, but they will capture you and then put you back..."

"Then I will be afraid of the Liao Kingdom from now on." In the darkness, Zhao Xu's voice was very relaxed, "There will also be conflicts between the DPRK and the Central Government for my future... A prince who has been captured by the Liao people is obviously not suitable for taking on big responsibilities. Then the royal family will be in ups and downs..."

"As long as you understand."

After breakfast, Song Jun left the city in silence.

Qian Yi stood on the city wall and watched the Song army disappear in the north. Suddenly he clasped his hands together and prayed devoutly: "If the Song Dynasty wins this battle, I am willing to believe in Buddha..."

The judge next to him was trembling with excitement: "Zhizhou, if we win here, do you know what this means?"

Qian Yi ordered people to close the city gate, "Of course I know that if I win, the crown prince of the Song Dynasty will have experienced the battle and still defeated the Liao people... There will be a prince in the Song Dynasty who is not afraid of the Liao people. In the future The emperor."

"Xiongzhou is on the border of Song and Liao. If you drag any child here, he will know how terrible the Liao people are... The only way to make them not afraid of the Liao people is to win."

"Only victory!"

…

Marching in the dark was boring, especially after Shen An explicitly ordered not to light torches or make any noise, so the entire team fell silent.

I don't know how far I walked, but when the sound of horse hooves came from ahead, the ban was lifted.

The people who came were the Mangshan Army, and their leader was Huang Chun.

"Lang Jun, the Liao people are six or seven miles ahead. Their number is unknown, but they are very quiet."

Being very quiet means that the opponent is not weak. Shen An asked: "Are there any enemy troops on the left and right?"

"No." Huang Chun said firmly: "The villain galloped all night with his men and horses, but he did not find the Liao army."

"In other words, our enemy discovered it first?" Zhao Xu thought this was good news.

"Give them a try?" Zhe Kexing's eyes were shining in the dark, like a wolf.

"certainly!"

Shen An's eyes were also bright.

Wang was a foot soldier, and the purpose of his coming was to sit in and prevent Shen An and the other three young men from doing anything impulsive.

But now Shen An and Zhe Kexing clearly want to cause trouble, but Wang doesn't say a word.

Zhao Xu's breathing was a little rapid, "But are we going to sneak attack them? But the Liao people will have scouts!"

He even knew this, which made the silent king speak, "Your Majesty, he is good."

Zhao Xu was a little surprised to be praised by such a veteran, "It's just common sense."

Wang Que said calmly: "But many people don't know."

Those so-called ‘famous generals’ don’t know.

Zhao Xu noticed something different in the eyes of the soldiers around him. While he was thinking about it, he heard Shen An say: "The Mangshan military sentry is unrivaled in the world, so there is no need to worry about the Liao scouts... Set off now!"

Shen An is a famous general praised by the late emperor, and is a famous general spoken by today's officials, so now he wants to take over the command without anyone questioning it.

The men's titles were raised, the horses picked up their bells, and the Song army began to speed up.

As a veteran, Wang felt nervous from the beginning.

The veteran was still nervous, as if this was the opposite of what he said.

But in this era, night marches were like blind men trying to figure out the elephant. The key enemy troops were right in front. And according to the previous analysis, the enemy troops were clearly well-trained elites. Such elites would definitely send scouts and sentries in front and around them, and there was no way to avoid them. That density.

Therefore, Wang criticized Shen An's decision to sneak attack the Liao army, but he was not afraid.

After encountering enemy scouts, the Song army still had time to repair, and then waited for the enemy's arrival to wait for work.

The cart was behind, carrying their armor and swords and axes.

Starting from Xiongzhou City, Shen An asked the swordsmen and axemen to take turns marching in the cart to let them rest.

This seems very considerate, and once in contact with the enemy, the swordsmen must repay this consideration with a fearless performance.

"Stop!"

The front suddenly stopped, including the cavalry, waiting.

But Wang looked ahead. He didn't know what the scouts of the Mangshan Army were doing, and he was a little uneasy.

Except for Shen An, everyone was a little uneasy.

"Okay, let's go!"

The team sets out again.

There were three such stops along the way. After the fourth time, Wang finally couldn't bear it anymore and went up and asked, "Why is this? Did they discover the enemy's scouts?"

"right!"

At this time, the enemy was not far away, and Shen An's mind was full of plans for how to deal with the enemy, and various plans were flipping over.

Wang was stunned, and Shen An said hurriedly: "The enemy is just ahead."

All disputes are over.

Wang turned around and waved silently.

The swordsmen walked to the side of the cart and helped each other to put on their armor.

In the dark night, Shen An watched this scene silently, but Zhao Xu was curious, "How will they fight?"

"Close yourself and fight the enemy closely!"

Shen An looked at the tall figure in the dark with admiration, turned around and ordered: "The whole army should drink water, eat dry food, and rest for a quarter of an hour!"

This is the last rest before the battle, and then there will be blood everywhere.

Shen An took two cooking cakes and walked forward with Zhao Xu, while Zhe Kexing went further ahead to explore the way.

"What if the Liao people find out?" Zhao Xu was very nervous and could feel his vibrato when speaking.

"Then let's attack. Let's attack first in the dark."

Shen An's tactic is to strike first and gain the upper hand.

"Are you afraid of the Liao people?" Zhao Xu gradually relaxed.

"I've never been afraid of them." Shen An started to get nervous.

Zhe Kexing in front stopped and raised his right hand.

This is a gesture similar to a password, used to identify one's own.

Huang Chun touched it quietly, UU reading www. uukanshu.net Only when he got closer did he take a hard breath.

"Liao Army...Liao Army is just ahead, less than five hundred steps away..."

"I can't count the number of people, but looking at it, there are probably more than 10,000."

Zhao Xu murmured: "We agreed on ten thousand. It seems that it is normal for a soldier to be brave in deceit!"

"As long as you understand."

Zhao Xu could understand this truth, and Shen An felt that this trip was worthwhile.

Emperors must continue to learn and understand the world. They must abandon weakness and luck and make decisions almost coldly.

"Get ready!" Shen An held the handle of the knife. Behind him, the army stood silently, like a forest.
