Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

In the first month of the second year of Xuanren (961 AD), 120,000 horsemen and soldiers of the Tokyo Forbidden Army left the city in four directions (the more concentrated, the slower the march, the easier it is to congest). Guo Shao led the army to walk through the gate of Chen Qiao, each gate connected to a post road, and the road to Chen Qiao gate was through Chen Qiao post.

Guo Shao's troops were all cavalry and horseback infantry, and arrived at Chenqiaoyi that day.

The army passed by this station, just passing by, the soldiers didn't think it was any special. Only Guo Shao came here to pay extra attention, Chen Qiaoyi...In his memory, there are few historical place names that are more famous than Chen Qiaoyi (because of the Chen Qiao mutiny).

However, there is no such thing as the mutiny of Chen Qiao in this world. Guo Shao claimed that the emperor was in Songzhou, so Chen Qiaoyi was just an inn.

＄10,000＄Book＄, w≮nsh︽≈om Guo Shaobu all rode a horse, and arrived in Huazhou only two days later, on the fifteenth morning of the first lunar month. The two-day trip was about 240 miles.

The army did not enter the city, and the holiday has become an unimportant factor.

On the same day, the army crossed the Yellow River from the ferry near Huazhou...The various ministries spread out on the flat beach and raced directly across the Yellow River in batches. At this time, the Yellow River was still frozen, and there was no movement of horses and carts on the ice on the river.

Two days later, on the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the army drove two hundred and thirty miles to reach the Daming Mansion.

The four armies crossed the Yellow River from Weizhou, Huazhou and other places, and all passed through the Daming Mansion. However, Guo Shao did not wait for the follow-ups at the Daming Mansion, nor did he see his father-in-law Fu Yanqing, but continued to march.

At this point, the 120,000 army will form an extremely long formation that stretches back and forth, so that the overall marching speed will be faster. The previous section of the road all marched in the mainland, unimpeded, and there is no need to send more scouts.

Then, according to the deployment of the Privy Council, the whole army will gradually move forward, middle and back three armies during the march. The front army uses Shi Yanchao as the forward, with approximately 18,000 cavalry; the main force of the Chinese army, Guo Shao, has more than 70,000 cavalry, including all cavalry and the tiger’s horse infantry; the rear army is more than 30,000, the slowest walk, including the dragon. The infantrymen of the Czech Republic's left and right compartments and the Tiger's Czech Republic's left compartment.

The total strength of the Forbidden Army on this expedition was about 120,000, and the cavalry and mounted infantry were close to 90,000.

Daming Mansion is already the boundary of Hebei. The forwards of the Great Zhou Army and the main force of the Chinese army quickly marched northward to Beizhou, and then rode across the frozen Yongji Canal (Grand Canal). Hebei is full of famous cities and important cities, and Beizhou is also a famous city. The (later) Jin Dynasty unfortunately failed to block the Liao army in Beizhou and was captured by the Liao army and led to the country's death.

Today, the people and horses in the same place have changed their country names, and the mighty horses are passing this ancient city to the north.

Yizhou, Shenzhou, Xiongzhou... The marching route of the Great Zhou Army is completely a straight line in the north direction on the map. Then approached Yizhou, marching more than 1,200 miles, the main horse army completed the trip in less than half a month. North of the Juma River is the territory controlled by the Liao State.

...

Guo Shao, Wang Pu and others took their guards and sprinted past the forwards of the army and reached the south bank of the Juma River first, but they saw nothing. The two banks were still frozen soil, and there was no personal image. Only the terrain on the opposite bank was slightly smaller than the south bank. high.

At this moment, I suddenly saw a ride in the direction of Yizhou. First, Guo Shao's guards blocked the question from a distance, and soon the person was brought to Guo Shao.

The man bowed on one knee: "The humble post is the messenger of the soldier Cao Si Youzhou Si, on the order of Shangfeng, come forward to report urgently."

"Come here." Guo Shao said directly.

He took a lacquered envelope, took out a piece of paper with a letter, and looked through it, his expression changed slightly.

Wang Pu couldn't help asking: "Is it a secret report of Youzhou Military Intelligence?"

Guo Shao calmly handed it to Wang Pu.

Wang Pu looked surprised and said, "Youzhou still doesn't know about it?"

Guo Shao called Jingniang over and asked her to check the handwriting of the paper. There was no problem with the paper. The main station of the Bing Cao Si spy in Youzhou, Hebei, was set up in Yizhou, and the report came from Yizhou Emergency... At least when Youzhou Xizuo sent the news back, the signs in Youzhou City showed that they knew nothing about Zhou Jun. !

Guo Shaoqiang suppressed the excitement and looked back to the left and right and said: "It seems that the situation is better than we expected!"

Wang Pu said: "We have been out of Beijing for more than ten days now. There are more than 100,000 people who have nothing to hide in Ma Yanlu. The Liao people didn't get the news. It is really an accident. God helped me!"

A military commander happily said: "If we rush to Youzhou City and they will find out, it will be easier! The horse team rushed in from the gate of the city and it would be a problem!"

Wang Pu smiled and said: "That's impossible. With so many eyes on the land boundary of Youzhou, not everyone is blind. But the people of Youzhou Liao know too late that they will be insufficiently prepared and the city defenses will not be so perfect. An extremely favorable start."

He turned his head and looked at Guo Shao, waiting for Guo Shao's order. Wang Pu is in charge of Youzhou Qianying Military Mansion, but with the emperor, he still has to wait for Guo Shao to make an order.

Guo Shao sat on the horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the road ahead again. The Juma River in front of him rested on the ground like a white silk. The current had frozen and motionless, and the world was silent.

As Wang Pu said, the Northern Expedition had a very good start. Not only did it not leak the military aircraft in advance, but even the army had gone to Yizhou and could hide the Liao army. The suddenness of the surprise attack was nothing better than the current situation! Excellent timing.

"Most of the troops guarding Zhuozhou and other places are the Han army, so you can ignore it. Whether they descend or not, it is impossible for them to go out of the city to fight our army." Guo Shao's voice was very calm.

Guo Shao looked up at the sky again. The sky is dark and heavy, as if the sky cover is very low. Although the dark clouds are not visible, the clouds are very thick. And the north wind is blowing in the sky.

"This ghostly weather!" Guo Shao cursed softly.

Everything is perfect~www.readwn.com~ The weather is indeed the only unsatisfactory factor. It is still windy on a cloudy day, and I am afraid that the temperature will not rise for too long; it will be more difficult to build fortifications on the frozen soil in Youzhou.

Guo Shao took a deep breath and looked at Wang Pu: "So, can you order Shi Yanchao to lead your army to Youzhou at this time?"

Wang Pu's voice was very anxious, and he spoke very quickly: "Of course, the striker will push Youzhou first, and the Chinese army will surrender to solve Zhuozhou and other places, and follow up."

As soon as Guo Shao's eyes closed, he said without hesitation: "Order, Shi Yanchao's department will immediately cross the Juma River. Don't attack the city, drive directly to Youzhou City; you can wipe it out if you encounter resistance. Play."

Wang Pu clasped his fist and said: "The old minister accepts the decree and immediately issues an official military order to Shi Yanchao."

He immediately turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly: "Drive!" The horse screamed in pain and ran out.

Guo Shao sat on the horse with his sword, facing the north wind, looking at the land in the north for a long time...The land in Hebei is now the border of the enemy country!
