Qian Song

Chapter 184 Recovering Yanyun is So Simple (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Li Cun did not expect that Yue Fei would be caught so easily.

In fact, Li Cun had already made up his mind that if Yue Fei didn't take the bait after two days, he would send someone to Yonghe Township to look for Yue Fei, and then he would have a chance encounter or something.

No, one day Yue Fei took the bait, and two days Yue Fei was caught by himself.

In addition to Yue Fei, Li Cun also brought in Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Yue Heng, Yao Zheng, Xu Qing, Zhang Yong, Yue Fan, Wang Jing, Li Dao, Wang Wan, Guo Jin, etc. Senior generals of other armies.

Suddenly, Li Cun saw a very dazzling name - Kong Yanzhou.

Li Cun frowned and said, "Why did this beast get into my net?"

Without thinking too much, Li Cun sent someone to send Kong Yanzhou away.

Now that the goal has been achieved, Li Cun, who is really very busy, has no need to stay here any longer in Xiangzhou.

But just after Li Cun gave the order to pull out the camp and set up camp, he found that Liang Hongyu, who had been wandering around him just now, had disappeared.

Li Cun asked Yan Zhengu: "Where did Hongyu go?"

Yan Zhengu said: "She said she was walking around, I have already sent someone to look for her."

His tens of thousands of troops are nearby, who would dare to do anything to his concubine?

Therefore, Li Cun didn't take it too seriously, and only asked, "Did she leave with the Tiger and Leopard Camp?"

Aunt Yanzhen replied, "I brought Sandu."

Hearing what Yan Zhengu said, Li Cun felt more at ease.

The so-called Tiger and Leopard Camp were actually the personal guards of Li Cun's concubines, Fang Baihua and Liang Hongyu.

After Li Cun got on the right track here, the female soldiers in Fang Baihua's hands in the early days and the female soldiers who joined the Huben Army from other channels all let Li Cun accompany them with a rather rich dowry to marry the soldiers of the Huben Army.

but--

Not all female soldiers can marry.

For example, a shrew like Tu Shi who can fight against a strong man with strong martial arts, no matter how much dowry Li Cun gives her, no one is willing to marry her.

Of course, there are some who don't want to marry after being hurt by a man, such as Zhu's.

In the end, these women became hot potatoes for the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites, and there was really no place for them to be placed.

The Tu family has followed Li Cun and Fang Baihua since their uprising, and has always been the leader of Fang Baihua's personal guard. How could Li Cun and Fang Baihua ignore it?

There is also the Zhu family, who brought more than 1 people to vote for Li Cun. Can Li Cun do the work of killing donkeys?

After a little thought, Li Cun organized these women into an army, managed by Fang Baihua, Liang Hongyu, and Yan Zhengu.

To be fair, although these women are also women, they are really not ordinary women. They can draw strong bows and ride strong horses.

Later, Liang Hongyu begged Li Cun to name the female soldier. From what Li Cun saw, either she was a dominatrix like Sun Erniang, or a fat woman like Mrs. Gu. They were just a bunch of tigresses. Like Shi, they also look around with leopard eyes, they are terribly fierce, and they don't look like a good person at first glance.

Without even hesitating, Li Cun blurted out: "Tiger Leopard Camp."

As a result, these women not only didn't feel that Li Cun was humiliating them, but also happily accepted the name.

As for the name or something, it’s fine for Li Cun to be joking.

But in terms of treatment, Li Cun can no longer joke around.

After careful consideration, the treatment Li Cun gave to the Tiger and Leopard Camp was completely equal to that of his personal guards.

To be honest, Li Cunzhen didn't expect the women from the Tiger and Leopard Camp to be of any use, he just paid a high salary to support them in order to repay the achievements they had made.

It is even said that the girls in the Tiger and Leopard Camp have no home for life, and Li Cun will support them for the rest of their lives.

It is definitely not Li Cun's fault to let his heroes end up in a miserable end.

Besides, couldn't these women from the Tiger and Leopard Camp be able to act as bodyguards for their own women?

After a while, Liang Hongyu came back in a hurry.

Although Li Cun has many wives and concubines, Liang Hongyu must be one of Li Cun's favorites.

Seeing that Liang Hongyu's face was covered with a piece of dust, Li Cun stretched out his hand to help her wipe it off, and said dotingly: "You're already an imperial concubine, and you're still so frizzy, why did you make yourself like this? "

Liang Hongyu said enthusiastically: "The slave family has recruited a new master, do you want to meet the officials?"

Li Cun thought that Liang Hongyu had found another shrew from somewhere to fill in the tiger and leopard camp, and said perfunctorily, "You don't have to bring it to me if you like it."

Unexpectedly, Liang Hongyu said with a half-smile: "I don't care about being a concubine, as long as the officials don't regret it."

As soon as Li Cun heard it, he knew that there must be something tricky in it, so he changed his words shamelessly: "Well... since it was recommended by my concubine, I'd better take a look."

Liang Hongyu gouged out Li Cun's eyes, and then shouted to the outside: "Come in."

As soon as Liang Hongyu finished speaking, a young girl walked in from outside the tent.

This woman should be more than 1.8 meters [-] tall, with a well-proportioned and slender figure, even if she is dressed in coarse and torn clothes, it cannot conceal her heroic appearance.

"This……"

The moment he saw this girl, Li Cun's eyes were a little dazed, as if he saw Fang Baihua walking in from outside.

After taking a closer look, Li Cun confirmed that this girl whose figure was almost the same as Fang Baihua's was not his queen Fang Baihua.

She is also very beautiful, and she also has the exquisite three-dimensional facial features of the supermodels of later generations, but her face is cold, which belongs to the kind of natural beauty, which is somewhat similar to Wang Huiniang. In addition, he has a thick and long braid, It hangs from the back of her head to her large chest.

Li Cun looked at her and asked Liang Hongyu, "Who is she?"

As soon as Liang Hongyu heard it, she knew that Li Cun was very interested in her new recruit, otherwise Li Cun, who was busy with everything, would definitely not ask who she was.

Liang Hongyu said in her heart: "I knew you liked it." Then she said: "She is my new bodyguard Wang Shi. She has a very powerful nickname, Yizhangqing."

Li Cun suddenly realized that he knew who this Wang was.

She is the prototype of Hu Sanniang in "Water Margin".

Historically, she was originally the wife of Zongze's general Ma Gao, and later she was married by her adoptive father to Zhang Yong who was "outrageously brave and named Zhang Mangdang" accepted by Li Cungang.

However, this woman is very tough. After remarrying Zhang Yong, every time she goes to war, she will plant two banners "Kanxi chastity girl, Madam Huguo".

Zhang Yong didn't care about this, and let Yizhang Qing command his right army.

According to historical records, this woman put on armor and mounted a horse, capable of defeating thousands of people.

Now that he knows who Yizhangqing is, Li Cun is not surprised why Liang Hongyu likes Yizhangqing so much. In fact, this woman is also a heroine and can fight very well.

Li Cun and Liang Hongyu didn't want to be polite, and said directly: "Don't let her hang out with those women in your camp every day, stay by my side and be my bodyguard with Zhengu."

After finishing speaking, Li Cun left, leaving only Liang Hongyu and Yan Zhengu looking at each other with wry smiles: "He has never been soft on the woman he likes!"

……

Yue Fei and other Xiangzhou soldiers really did not expect that the emperor would personally train them on the way north.

And in the words of Emperor Li Cun: "I haven't personally trained soldiers for a long time, and I'm idle around, so I'll bring another batch of recruits."

In addition to Yue Fei and his [-] Xiangzhou soldiers, Li Cun also trained the [-] soldiers under Zhao Li's command.

But this time Li Cun trained again, but he no longer beat and scolded like before, he was smiling all the time, and Li Cun did not really train by himself, but directed Yue Fei and Zhao Li to train.

In addition, one of the things that Li Cun did the most was to tell them about the battles and analyze them for them.

After Han Bie saw this scene from a distance, he smiled and said to the left and right: "Your Majesty is not training soldiers, but training generals."

……

October [-].

Li Cun led the front guard army, rear guard army, Tabai army, eight thousand disciple soldiers, three thousand Xiangzhou soldiers and a group of civilians to Xiongzhou.

Tong Guan and Cai You took the initiative to meet Li Cun.

From a long distance away, Li Cun saw that Tong Guan's old face was full of loneliness.

Think about it too.

Tong Guan has been dreaming of regaining the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for so many years, and has made so much effort for it, but seeing that the dream is about to come true, he was replaced by someone else at the last moment.

Moreover, this other person is still very likely to regain Yanyun Sixteen States.

In other words, Tong Guan will completely miss the chance to regain Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.

In this case, whoever it is will feel lonely.

Cai You said on behalf of Tong Guan who was not very interested: "My army has withdrawn to Bazhou. If your family needs my help, please speak up."

Li Cun refused bluntly: "No need."

Then, Li Cun ordered: "The army will move out and go directly to Baigou River."

On the way here, Li Cun has already learned that all the grain, grass and supplies that came by water and sea have successfully reached the border of Song and Liao, and have been protected by Han Shizhong and Wu Jie. At present, Han Shizhong has led the Jinwu army to station in Fancun. , while Wu Jie led the Yulin Army to station in the Baigou River area.

It was almost noon when Li Cun arrived at Baigou River.

While the soldiers were eating, Li Cun personally went to the Baigou River to inspect the enemy's situation.

It was quiet on the other side of the river, except for a few Liao soldiers patrolling back and forth occasionally.

Li Cun looked at this situation, combined with the history he knew and the information sent back by Wu Desi, the pro-army Duweifu, and the military intelligence office established by Li Cunxin, and concluded that the main force of the Liao army must not be here.

Li Cun pointed directly: "Where is Yue Fei?"

Yue Fei heard the words and came out and said: "The minister is here."

Li Cundao: "Catch some tongues for me."

After Yue Fei took the order, he led Zhang Xian, Wang Gui, Yue Heng, Yao Zheng and a dozen people across the river quietly.

If you really want to promote a person, you don't need to directly promote him to a high position, but just give him more opportunities. If he is really that material, he will definitely be promoted soon.

Not long after Yue Fei and others crossed the river, they captured all the Liao troops guarding the bridgehead.

After being interrogated by torturers, Li Cun and others learned that since there had been no fighting on the border between Song and Liao for several months, the main force of the Northern Liao, that is, the Yelu Dashi Department and Xiao cadres, had already withdrawn to the north to guard Juyongguan. And to defend against the invasion of the Jin army, there are currently less than 2000 troops stationed in Xincheng on the border between Song and Liao.

According to the history that Li Cun knows, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian went back to Yanjing to help Xiao Pu Xiannv fight for the ruling power of the Northern Liao Dynasty when Yelu Chun died. Since then, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian have not come again Crossing the border between Song and Liao, they have been trying their best to resist the invasion of the Jin people.

In addition, Wu Desi, the pro-military Duwei Mansion, and the Military Intelligence Office also reported to Li Cunchuan that Yelu Dashi was guarding Juyongguan, and Xiao Qian was guarding Gubeikou in the north. Xiao Yelu, the commander of the Niulan Supervising Army, and Xiao Yelu's men and horses will never exceed 2000.

In this case, why would Li Cun hesitate?
After the meal, Li Cun directly ordered that the army set up camp immediately and cross the Baigou River.

When Zhao Ding and Qin Hui heard that Li Cun was about to cross the river when he came, they immediately joined hands to find him.

From the original intention, I still hope that Li Cun can recover Zhao Ding from the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. Let's send some soldiers and horses to cross the river first?"

Seeing Zhao Ding reminding Li Cun to be more cautious, Qin Hui couldn't help frowning.

The order Zhao Ding and Qin Hui received was to find a way to make the Qian army, the Liao army and the Jin army confront each other, and it would be best to make the three parties lose all three.

Zhao Ding's kind reminder was clearly inconsistent with the orders Zhao Ding and Qin Hui had received.

But Li Cun is here, and it's not easy for Qin Hui to remind Zhao Ding.

Qin Hui could only suppress the matter first, and was ready to find an opportunity to remind Zhao Ding to pay attention.

After hearing this, Li Cun said with a smile: "Your family has been here for more than half a year, and you haven't found out how many soldiers and horses there are in Beiliao?"

"This……"

No matter how poor the intelligence gathering ability of the Zhao and Song Dynasty was, after such a long time, they would definitely be able to find out that the actual number of troops in the Northern Liao Dynasty must not exceed [-].

However, Zhao Ding and Qin Hui could not share this news with Li Cun.

Li Cun didn't need Zhao Ding and Qin Hui to make things difficult, he directly pointed out: "The Liao army doesn't even have 5 horses, and I have 30 troops. Why don't you dare to confront them head-on?"

Speaking of this, Li Cun criticized Zhao Ji, Tong Guan and others: "There is a saying in the art of war, all fighters use righteousness and surprise to win. Our military strength is far superior to the enemy, so we naturally fight dignifiedly. How can we use that to add fuel?" Tactics? If your family sent millions of troops directly to Yanjing, the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would already be in your pocket, and they would be defeated by the Liao army with 2000 troops and 5 horses. .”

Zhao Ding and Qin Hui were blushed by Li Cun's words.

Li Cun did what he said, and he led the army across the Baigou River very quickly.

Xiao Yulu, who was stationed in Xincheng, had already discovered that the "Song Army" had come to the border of Song and Liao.

While sending people back to Yanjing to seek help from Xiao Pu Xiannv, Xiao Yelu gathered the Khitan and Xi people in Xincheng, and wanted to lead them to find a chance to attack the "Song Army" and give these "Song Army" who hadn't learned much a lesson. Army" a little color to see.

But Xiao Yulu had only gathered thousands of troops before he learned that the "Song Army" had already crossed the Baigou River in large numbers.

Standing on the watchtower, I saw hundreds of thousands of "Song soldiers" crossing the river in an orderly manner. Among them, there were only tens of thousands of horses, and there were thousands of behemoths. Those were... war elephants?
Xiao Yelu looked at the thousands of soldiers and civilians around him again: "Do you want to hit a stone with an egg?"

As soon as the words "strike a stone with an egg" came out, Xiao Yelu had the answer.

Xiao Yelu immediately ordered: "Quick, retreat!"

Then, Xiao Yulu led the thousands of soldiers and civilians to flee.

And the Han people here in Xincheng, when they learned that the "Song Army" was coming, and that it was the emperor's personal conquest, they cheered and cheered.

in fact--

The Han people in the Yanyun area generally believed that the Liao Kingdom was about to perish, and the Jin Kingdom would soon come over. Therefore, they really intended to return to the south and be protected by the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

But the problem is that in the current Liao Kingdom, the Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Zub, and Shiwei have the most say, and the Han people dare not show their feelings at all, otherwise they may be massacred by other races.

Moreover, if the Han people wanted to greet the Song army with pots of oatmeal, the Song army had to arrive in Liao territory first.

However, the fact is that after the Song army sent troops for more than half a year, only Yang Keshi led his army across the Baigou River, and was beaten back by Yelu Dashi.

Today, the emperor personally led three 10,000+ troops, crossed the Baigou River with the momentum of Mount Tai, and came to the Liao territory.

The Han people in the Liao region sang and danced to welcome Master Wang.

However, some careful people discovered that the "Song Army" was not wearing red military uniforms, but black military uniforms, and the banner was also "the Emperor Daqian's imperial conquest". What's going on?

Zhao Ding and Qin Hui saw that Li Cun easily regained the new city as soon as he crossed the river, and the Han people in the Liao territory really, as in the legend, ate pots of pulp and lined the road to greet Wang Shi.

The two of them thought at the same time: "Recovering Yanyun is so easy?!"
