Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 589: Xuanwu nine years

It's the New Year's Eve of the eighth year of Xuanwu, and tomorrow is the nineth year of Xuanwu!

In Liaodong, it is also snowy weather, countless Khitan people in Liaodong celebrate New Year's Eve at home! Over two hundred years after the founding of the Liao State, the Khitan people have long learned the customs and habits of the Han people. New Year's Eve and Spring Festival are also important festivals for the Khitan people.

On this day, hundreds of miles west of Liaoyang Prefecture, a cavalry of more than 20,000 men was marching in the snow.

All the cavalry were one man, two horses or one man and three horses. They went forward against the whirring cold wind, and countless soldiers were numb with frozen hands and feet.

"We have been walking for three days and three nights, and we will be able to get to Yinzhou City in two days!" said a young general in the team.

"The enemy's headquarters is in Yinzhou. After we win Yinzhou, we will be able to win this exercise! Three exercises were conducted this winter. We have already lost two of them. This time we must win! "Another young general said.

They are conducting military exercises!

They set off from the military camp north of Jinzhou three days ago, and until now, for three days and three nights, this army did not make a single stop! They have been traveling for long distances, and when the horses are tired, they change horses. In some places, the terrain is complicated, and they pull the horses forward! Almost all the soldiers are exhausted, but victory is in front of them. They can't let the enemy have the slightest guard now, they still have to rush forward as fast as possible.

"After I got to Yinzhou, I led 10,000 soldiers and horses to the north of Yinzhou. You led people to assault from the south. We surrounded on both sides, and we must take down the enemy's headquarters!" said the young teenager who had spoken earlier.

"Okay!" The general behind nodded.

"Today is New Year's Eve!" said the young general who had spoken earlier.

"Yes! We can't stop on New Year's Eve." The general behind said.

"Men of my generation, living in the world must make contributions! Although this exercise is not a real war, it will be your glory if you can win!" the teenager laughed.

The general behind also laughed.

The surroundings were dark and cold, only the whistling north and the stomping of horseshoes echoed in their ears, and the two of them trembled with cold, but there was a firm expression on their faces.

"If it is winter to attack Goryeo, it may be more difficult than it is now! During the journey from Liaodong to Goryeo, there were a lot of mountains, we need to cross those mountains! And now, we are all advancing on the plain!" said the teenager.

"Yeah! I don't know when we will launch an attack on Goryeo? It is really uncomfortable to watch the Koreans arrogantly in front of us this year." The general behind said.

"It should be soon! Your Majesty said that he would launch an attack on Goryeo within two or three years. Unconsciously, it has been a year! It is very likely that we will attack Goryeo this year." The young general said.

"This year is really suffocating me." The general behind said.

The two laughed together again!

The two of them are not others, they are Yue Yun and Liang Hao under Yue Fei.

They brought this army forward, from night to dawn, the nine years of Xuanwu had arrived, and they were still trekking on the snowy field.

At this moment in Liaoyang Prefecture, Tokyo, there are still 10,000 Song troops stationed here.

This Wansong army did not participate in the winter exercises. This is where the center of Liaodong is located. They still have to prevent the Koreans from suddenly launching an offensive.

Although there are only 10,000 people, they have no fear. In the past year, they have clearly seen the strength of the opposite Korean people! Their strength is too weak, much worse than the Jurchen Army and the Xixia Army. These 10,000 people are enough to cope with any sudden attack outside Liaoyang Mansion.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there is also a festive atmosphere in Liaoyang Fuzhong. There were a lot of residents here, and these residents are walking around.

And to the south of the Liao State Imperial Palace in Liaoyang Prefecture, this is the place where Yue Fei's military headquarters is located, and it is also the place where Yu Yunwen governs Liaodong.

Yue Fei went to inspect the military camp in the morning. At this moment, he braved the heavy snow and came to the military headquarters.

"Has General Wu come?" Yue Fei said after entering the military headquarters.

"General Wu and Master Yu have already arrived, and I'm just waiting for you," said a captain of the military headquarters.

Yue Fei nodded, and immediately strode towards the inside.

Entering the innermost room of the military department, Wu Jie and Yu Yunwen were already sitting there, and the chiefs of various departments of the military department were also sitting in it.

This is a small conference room, with maps of Liaodong and Gaoli hanging in front of the conference room. After Yue Fei entered it, everyone stood up.

"General Yue, long time no see." Wu Jie arched his hands and said with a smile.

"It's been a long time! I thought General Wu you can't come today." Yue Fei also laughed and said.

"We want to discuss the use of soldiers against Korea, so naturally I can't waste time." Wu Jie said.

Everyone sat down together, and only Yue Fei stood in front.

"It only took us a year to stabilize the situation in Liaodong. The General Staff ordered us to be ready to move eastward at any time. Therefore, we will gather all of you and discuss it carefully! General Wu, what is the situation with the navy now? "Yue Fei said.

"Now our navy has three major bases, one is Tianjin Wei, one is Dengzhou, and the other is Lion's Mouth! In addition, the navy has recruited another 20,000 soldiers this year, and now the total strength of the navy has reached 120,000! Ours The number of warships exceeds 3,000! Army soldiers are training every day, and now some soldiers even went south to train in the southern waters after the cold weather! Soldiers are preparing for the battle of Goryeo! When the weather turns warmer, the floating ice on the sea After melting away, we can enter Goryeo at any time!" Wu Jie said.

Shizikou was the location of the later "Lvshun". Although the Goryeos had already occupied a large area of ​​the Liaodong Peninsula, the southernmost lionkou of the Liaodong Peninsula was always occupied by the navy.

"If a war really happens, the navy will fight across the sea and raid the capital of Goryeo!" Yue Fei said.

Wu Jie nodded.

"If King Goryeo can be won in one fell swoop, it will be extremely beneficial to the battle of Goryeo! Therefore, the Navy must ensure that King Goryeo is not allowed to escape." Yue Fei said.

"In the summer and autumn of last year, our navy conducted several landing exercises! If the Battle of Goryeo begins, we will encircle Kaikyo, Goryeo from three directions! One-third of our troops first attacked Ganghwa Island, and then suddenly appeared in Kaikyo. To the west! One-third of the troops landed from Haizhou and captured Jinchuan at the fastest speed, blocking the northern road of Kaijing! The other third of the troops landed from Renzhou, blocking the road to the south of Kaijing! The Navy! People will also be sent to completely block the Han River to prevent the Koreans from escaping from the Han River! Surrounded by such a few sides, there is absolutely no possibility for the Koreans to escape." Wu Yeong said.

"If you take Kaijing, you will immediately go north and take Pyongyang!" Yue Fei said again.

Kaikyo and Pyongyang, these are the two most important cities in Goryeo! Kaikyo is the capital of Goryeo, and Pyongyang is the companion capital of Goryeo. There are many Goryeo royal families in these two places. If these two cities are taken down, the Goryeo royal family can be wiped out.

"It's no problem to win these two cities!" Wu Jie said.

"The command system in the Goryeo army is chaotic. If the battle of Goryeo happens, our cavalry will also raid Baoju. First, we will take the Goryeo coach Choi Zhuo! At that time, there will be many lieutenants in the Goryeo army in Liaodong. King Goryeo, you and my armies can easily encircle them!" Yue Fei said.

"If the Koreans defended the Great Wall, the army did not enter it in the first time, and our navy alone might still be a little dangerous." Wu Jie said.

"Our army has prepared two thousand stone throwers! In the face of such a force, the Great Wall can be opened! At that time, your navy can send an army to attack from the south, so that it will be even more foolproof!" Yue Fei Tao.

"Master Yu, you still need your help in logistics." Wu Jie said.

"Don't worry about this, there are still more than 100,000 militiamen in the Liaodong area, and these militiamen will naturally participate in this battle!" Yu Yunwen said.

The main general of the Song army was in Liaoyang to discuss the attack on Goryeo, and in Baozhou on the bank of the Yalu River, in the later Dandong area, a 40-year-old Goryeo general was standing on the Baozhou city wall.

Except for him, there is no Goryeo on the wall. The weather is so cold, and the rest of the Goryeo soldiers have already returned to the city! In such weather, no one can let those Korean soldiers come out.

This Goryeo general wore very gorgeous Goryeo costumes, and he wore a bright sword around his waist.

He is very handsome and elegant, like a literati, not a general!

He is the coach of Goryeo Choi Zhuo! It was he who killed the traitor Li Ziqian of Korea and supported the succession of the king of Korea, Wang Kai!

Now he controls all the Goryeo army, but in fact he has never commanded a battle! He claims to be a Confucian general and believes that the real generals should be strategizing behind, and should not go to the front! He was trusted by Wang Kai because of his superb political methods, no one in the entire army dared to oppose him.

Footsteps came from behind, and two people in civil costumes walked up to the city wall.

The two civil servants were frowning, the wind and snow were too great for them to bear.

"Master Cui, why are you here?" a civil official in his sixties said.

"Blowing the air here can make me more awake and make me see the truth clearly!" Cui Zhuo turned his head and said with a gentle smile.

"It's too cold here!" The civil official said.

"Only in such a difficult environment can a strong family like Khitan and Jurchen be born! The main reason why I am not strong enough in Gaoli is that we live too peacefully! Now that we have obtained Liaodong, we naturally want to be like Khitan and Jurchen. , Accept training in the ice and snow!" Cui Zhuo said.

"My lord is right!" said a 30-year-old civil official behind.

"But our army has been slack for a long time. It is too difficult for them to train in the ice and snow, and the soldiers will not agree! It takes time to completely transform the army! The Song army on the opposite side is different from ours, even if it is such a count of nine. Han Tian, ​​they are still training every day! They are too strong, and we are indeed not their opponents now! Lord An and Lord Li, this time you go to Yanjing City, you must let the Song people agree to sign a contract. At that time, I can train with peace of mind. !" Cui Zhuo said.

It turns out that the two literati in the back are An Pulin and Li Rui!

"Master Cui rest assured that we will let the Song people agree to sign the contract. In fact, the civil and military disputes in the Song Dynasty are very fierce, and the civil servants are very dissatisfied with the generals. This time we passed, the signing will not be a problem." An Pu Lin said.

"Today is the first day of the new year. You will stay in Baozhou City for a period of time. After the fifteenth of the first lunar month, after the heavy snow stops, you will go to Yanjing again." Cui Zhuo said.

"This won't work! We have to get the Song people to sign as soon as possible, so that we can feel at ease! General Cui, we are here to say goodbye to you, today we are going to Yanjing!" An Pu Lin said.

"If I were like two Koreans, it would be no problem to occupy the Central Plains!" Cui Zhuo said with emotion.

Soon after, Cui Zhuo personally sent An Pulin and Li Rui away, not to mention.
