Da Song: The opening game killed Ximen Qing

“Mobilize so many large armies to requisition the Liangshan thief army. So, who can lead? Cai Jing asked.

There were not many good generals at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Western Xia people were guarded in the west, and the other generals were mainly concentrated in the border army.

This time, so many main forces of the forbidden army were dispatched, and naturally it was necessary to let the henchmen take the command.

Otherwise, if something goes wrong, it’s troublesome.

“Tai Shi, this official is willing to personally lead the army and requisition the Liangshan bandit army!” Tong Guan immediately made a statement.

“Lord Tong is a privy councillor, who presides over the Privy Council, and is in a position of high authority and must not be moved lightly. Let the official do the work for you. Gao Lian also jumped out.

“Lord Gao is in charge of the front division of the palace, responsible for the safety of His Majesty, and there must be no mistakes. It is better for the army to be led by this officer. “Tong Guan is so good.

When Cai Jing saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh.

He could see that the reason why Tong Guan and Gao Lian agreed to send out so many troops was to wipe out the Liangshan rebels in one fell swoop in order to earn a big merit.

Although the Great Song Dynasty has always been based on civilization and military force. However, this does not mean that military merit is not important.

On the contrary, military merit is particularly important. Once you get a big military merit, getting promoted is definitely a matter of ironclad.

Tong Guan and Gao Liang, although they are already high-ranking officials from the first pin. But I also want to climb a little further.

Therefore, the two will compete for this opportunity to lead the army.

“Tai Shi, since the two of us can’t argue, it’s up to the Tai Shi to make the decision!” Tong Guan said simply.

“Everything is decided by the Imperial Master!” Gao Lian had to say so. It’s just that his face is obviously not good-looking.

Cai Jing pretended to think for a while, and then said: “Master Tong is more familiar with military affairs. The eradication of the Liangshan thief army this time is even more important to His Majesty. Then, it is more appropriate for Tong to lead the army. ”

“Mrs. Xie!” Tong Guan was overjoyed.

Although Gao Lian was full of reluctance, there was no way.

Although he is very favored by Song Huizong, he is far from being comparable to Cai Jing.

The reason why Cai Jing supported Tong Guan to lead the army instead of supporting Gao Lian naturally had his plan.

Compared with Tong Guan, Gao Lian is more ambitious.

If the Liangshan rebels were successfully suppressed this time, the leader would definitely be rewarded. Further, that is naturally ironclad.

Once Gao Lian rises another level, Cai Jing can’t guarantee whether Gao Lian will still be respectful and obedient to him like now.

In contrast, it is more appropriate to let Tong Guan lead.

Even if Tong Guan was promoted to another level, it would not be possible to pose a threat to him.

The next day, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, and Gao Lian jointly met with Emperor Huizong of Song and reported their plans.

Emperor Huizong of Song had no objection to mobilizing the 125,000 Bianjing march.

He had only one request, and that was to win.

“Tong Guan, since you took the initiative to ask Ying to go to battle. Then, I undoubtedly have high hopes for you. I hope that you can win this time and suppress the Liangshan thief army in one fell swoop. Let the world know that the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are still as stable as Mount Tai! Any chaotic thief who wants to shake the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty is a jumping beam clown, and it is impossible to succeed! Song Huizong looked serious.

“Yes, Your Majesty. The minister must suppress the Liangshan thief army cleanly! Tong Guan replied.

“Very well, waiting for the news that you won.” Song Huizong nodded in satisfaction.

For Tong Guan, Song Huizong still trusts him, not only because Tong Guan has a leading talent. All the more because Tong Guan was originally a eunuch. For the imperial court, it was also loyal.

Song Huizong believed that Tong Guan would be able to defeat the Liangshan rebels by leading the army this time.

Emperor Huizong of Song personally decreed that Tong Guan was appointed as the leading general, leading the 25,000 men of the Longjie army, and the Longwei army and the Shenwei army separated by 50,000 people, set out to attack the east-west road of Beijing to suppress the Liangshan rebels.

At the same time, Jingxi Road and Jingdong East Road, as well as the forbidden army and box army mobilized from Huainan East Road, were all controlled by Tong Guan.

The reason why Tong Guan was given so much power was that on the one hand, he was assured that Tong Guan would not betray. On the other hand, it is hoped that Tong Guan can win a clean victory to deter other ill-intentioned forces in the Great Song Dynasty.

October 5, 1113 AD, after several days of preparation.

Tong Guan personally led an army of more than 100,000 people to leave Bianjing and rushed to the east-west road of Beijing, preparing to suppress the Liangshan rebels in one fell swoop.

When the army set out, Tong Guan was naturally full of ambition.

Although he was born as a eunuch, his body was already mutilated.

However, he is still extremely eager to make a contribution.

If he can be promoted to another level and become a minister of the first product, then he will definitely be able to be famous for eternity.

Among the many eunuch-turned-figures, it is estimated that no one will be more powerful than him.

The forbidden army of the imperial court made a big move, which made the Liangshan rebels, who had been paying attention to the movements of the imperial court, immediately know the news.

Zhu Wu, the military master in charge of intelligence, got the news almost immediately and immediately prayed to Wu Song.

At Wusong’s suggestion, the Liangshan rebels sent a large number of spies to be deployed in Bianjing and various parts of the Great Song Dynasty to find out intelligence for the Liangshan rebels.

Moreover, in order to quickly and conveniently transmit information, Wu Song also suggested that Zhu Wu and others raise carrier pigeons for transmitting news.

After a long period of experimentation, Zhu Wu and others have successfully domesticated a batch of carrier pigeons.

This made the Liangshan rebels greatly ahead of the Great Song court in terms of intelligence transmission.

Almost the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty had just left Bianjing, and the Liangshan rebel army already knew the news.

“Grand Commander, the imperial court has appointed the Privy Envoy Tong Guan to personally lead the army, leading 125,000 soldiers and horses, to come to conquer my Liangshan. Among them, the Ma army numbered as many as 25,000 people. The remaining 100,000 were infantry. In addition, the Guangji Army and the Gui German Army also belonged to Commander Tong Guan. Zhu Wu prayed with a serious expression.

The good men of Liangshan couldn’t help but have solemn expressions.

Although they had only killed more than 50,000 officers and troops before.

But those officers and troops are just box troops that do not have much combat effectiveness to speak of.

Naturally, the combat effectiveness of the box army is far from being comparable to that of the forbidden army.

In particular, the total number of forbidden troops dispatched this time was too large as 125,000, and together with the Guangji army and the German army, it reached 140,000. Their combat effectiveness is much stronger than that of the box army. This undoubtedly means a great threat to the Liangshan rebels.

“It seems that this time the imperial court is really menacing and wants to eliminate us in one fell swoop!” Wu Song couldn’t help but laugh.
