The Song Dynasty has been deliberate for 16 years, only to know that it is the Water Margin

Chapter 208
Zhao Tun had been on the bank of the Yellow River for seven days, and this time he went south to conquer Wang Qing, he was going to bring his own horse infantry.

He doesn't want the Dianqian Division's army, not even the three Western Army in Dianqian Division.

The Emperor Daojun naturally doesn't care about these things, you just need to lead soldiers to fight. In the eyes of the Emperor Daojun, the front of the palace and the guards are all his own soldiers, and there is no need to divide them among them.

Zhao Tong transferred back all the commanders of the Dragon Guards stationed in Yongqiu, Weishi, and Heyang.

Several commanders of the Yunqi Army stationed in Chenliu, Xijing, and Gong counties were also transferred back.

The two places switched defenses with Dianqiansi, but the Xiaojie army did not move.

The infantry army transferred the four armies of Shenwei, Huyi, Wuwei, and Xiongwu, and transferred the Xiang army from the west and west routes to Beijing.

A total of 2 cavalry troops, 3 infantry troops, 2 Xiang troops, and 7 troops.

The [-] Xiang army here is used as a logistical heavy force, and is also allocated to a part of the cavalry army, so the combat effectiveness can be ignored, and only [-] troops are used.

This [-] army can be said to be the most elite of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army. After all, the Dragon Guard Army, the God Guard Army, and the other four armies all went out to fight. Moreover, the horse infantry under the Guards' Army Division must have high combat effectiveness after two years of training. Pass the army under the front of the palace.

Zhao Tun immediately rode to the bank of the Yellow River, and the army in front of him was so densely packed that he couldn't see the end, only the armor was bright, and the swords and guns were shining.

He said to Liu Kai beside him, "Uncle Xin, what do you think of this army?"

Liu Kai's eyelids twitched. During the time he was in Beijing, after practicing martial arts several times, he had a thorough understanding of the Imperial Guards in Gyeonggi.

In terms of military appearance, the Western Army may not be able to catch up with the horses. The equipment of the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army is the best among all the troops. There are also standards for height and appearance. If you stand there, you will be tall and have dazzling weapons, which is really bluffing.

But in terms of fighting skills, I am afraid that the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army will not be able to catch up with the Western Army after ten or eight years of training. The Western Army's fighting skills are all practiced on the battlefield. Four or five Gyeonggi Forbidden Army faced the last Western Army, but they dare not say that they will definitely win.

As for courage and blood, although I didn't see much of this during the rehearsal, Liu Qi's eyes were almost sinking to the bottom after several contacts.

But fortunately, when I went to drink and chat with the three people in the Dianqian Division, I felt a little comforted when I heard the other party complain that the virtues of the imperial guards there were far inferior to those of the Mabu Army Division.

Liu Kai said: "My lord, the army looks good, but it has no intention of fighting."

Zhao Tong nodded, the Gyeonggi Imperial Army never had the thought of fighting in their minds, even though the expedition was imminent, all of them looked relaxed, as if they were going to go sightseeing.

I have never fought a war, never seen the blood and fire on the battlefield, even if I hold my ear to lecture, it goes in the left ear and out the right ear.

He didn't even think about the two big defeats in the previous campaign against Wang Qing. What he did think about was how to escape from the battlefield if he was defeated.

In the past few days, apart from training, it was just to boost morale, and everyone shouted majesticly, but without the baptism of the battlefield, the shouts were always a little false.

Zhao Tong looked at Yao Pingzhong on the other side again: "What do you think of Xiyan?"

Yao Pingzhong blinked, and said: "My lord, it's enough to scare people, but if you give me five thousand cavalry from the Western Army, I can kill more than a dozen of them in one day for the 7 in front!"

Zhao Tong narrowed his eyes and said, "What if it's for the 5000 people in front of you?"

Yao Pingzhong thought for a while: "Although my subordinates have never seen Wang Qing's army, I think they are just grassroots refugees. How can they lose in a one-on-one charge? It will be the morale of the army. The previous big defeat will definitely not work. Five thousand soldiers, at least it won't be a problem to fight against Wang Qing's bandit army of the same size!"

Zhao Tang glanced at him and said, "Don't be ashamed, I'll give you five thousand soldiers then, let's see how you can win!"

Yao Pingzhong grinned and said: "Then the prince will give me a great credit."

Zhao Tong said: "As long as Wang Qing can be exterminated, there will be rewards for his achievements, and..."

He paused for a moment, and the three of them looked over, Zhao Tun said indifferently: "Anything captured will belong to me!"

"Ah..." When the three of them heard the words, they all breathed out in a low voice. This is to sit on the ground and share the spoils!
Yao Pingzhong's eyes were as bright as lights at the moment: "My lord, are you serious?"

Although the Western Army used to do this when they were dealing with Xia Fan, but Xia Fan was poor and stingy, and since Longyou recovered, he never had a big harvest.

But Wang Qing's bandit army is different. Why is the bandit army called the bandit army?It is to search and plunder, everyone has money, and the more powerful the official, the more money they have.

Originally, the three of them thought that because of Zhao Tama's status, he would definitely act in a high-spirited way, would restrict the occurrence of such things, and would even include them in the military law, but they didn't expect to directly say that they would do it like this at this moment!
Zhao Tong said: "How can I not take my words seriously?"

Yao Pingzhong hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, if there is such an order, Pingzhong can defeat eight thousand bandits with 5000 men!"

Liu Kai looked at Yao Pingzhong and frowned, and felt that the Yao family boy's words were a bit exaggerated. These forbidden soldiers had never fought in battle, nor were they hot-blooded recruits. It's not easy to fight one, but five thousand and eight thousand?

Zhao Tong let out a haha, does Yao Pingzhong have any skills?There are probably skills, but the ability to brag is not low.

At this time, the commander of the government came to deliver a letter, saying that there was Zongze in Dengzhou who had reported to the government department.

This was what Zhao Tun had told him before, as soon as Zong Ze came, he would come over to deliver the letter.

Let the three stay and continue training, and bring Su Shi back to the Fusi, only to see one person waiting in the lobby.

Zhao Tuo looked Zong Ze up and down, but saw that although the beard and hair of the later Zhongjian Gong was half white, he was energetic and his eyes were bright. When he saw Zhao Tuo, he hurriedly fell to the ground and bowed.

"Zong Ze has met His Highness King Qi, and thank His Highness King Qi for helping him out of crime!"

Zong Ze is not a person who does not know how to adapt. In fact, none of the people who know how to fight is really rigid and dull. If they are like that, they will not be able to cope with the ever-changing situation on the battlefield.

As for what Zhao Tun told Emperor Daojun, it was just to excuse Zongze, so that Emperor Daojun felt that Zongze was rigidly abiding by the rules, and relieved his dissatisfaction with Zongze in his heart.

"Ru Lin, get up quickly, sit down and talk." Zhao Tuo didn't repeat himself.

Zong Ze stood up and looked at King Qi. He had heard of King Qi for a long time, but this was the first time he saw him.

I saw this Fengshen was handsome, with a dusty temperament, wearing a white robe, but a little dusty, obviously came back from a distance on horseback, as for where, it was probably a military field outside the city.

Zong Ze felt ashamed in his heart, His Royal Highness King Qi valued him very much, after he entered the prefecture, he saw soldiers rushing out, apparently to report the news.

But what can he do, just wait, why did he let His Royal Highness King Qi rush back to see you?Thinking of this, Zongze felt a rush of blood in his heart, which he hadn't felt for many years.

He is nearly sixty years old, does he really still have the opportunity to serve the country with his own body and make contributions?
