Yi Song

Chapter 220 My main force
The urgent letter was sent west for seven days. Wang Xun assisted Ji Yuyu to get 3,000 sets of armor, 5,000 swords and guns, 4,000 bows and some arrows from the Taiyuan arsenal, preparing to help Liu Zhuxie transport them back to Jiashan.

"Dalang, this is against the laws of the court." The upright Wang Zhen called Wang Xun to the study and said with some dissatisfaction.

"Dad, it is against the laws of the court, but it will help us fight against the Xixia party members. These soldiers, swords, and spears will be left rotten and rusty after a while, and then they will be distributed to the soldiers of the army and harm them.

Either they were sold off, or they were reported with their names, and the civil servants added one to five and divided the money together. Rather use it to do something useful and good. "

Wang Xun persuaded him earnestly.

Wang Zhen still couldn't figure it out, but was a little angry.

"Is this your expediency? Dalang, is this what you learned in the Hongying Party?"

"Dad, in such a world, you can't achieve anything by being upright and upright. You can only take detours. When dad went to Tongguan, in addition to his personal future, wasn't he also worried about the defense of the northwest and Heshuo border?
Worrying about the country and the people, in addition to lamenting in vain and lamenting the spring and autumn, we also need to bear the humiliation and bear the burden, and persevere in doing practical things and doing practical things. The peace of the country and the people will not fall from the sky. We must not only fight with the sky and the earth, but also with people, in order to win a peaceful and prosperous age. "

Wang Zhen was speechless in surprise, and after a long time he sighed: "Dalang, did you learn all of this in Jieshuai?"

"Yes." Wang Xun replied resolutely.

Wang Zhen said quickly.

After greetings, Liu Guozhang went straight to the point: "Mr. Wang, I'd like to lend you the White Tiger Festival Hall in the Mansion!"

"It would be truly rude if I didn't go out to greet the commander-in-chief."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Zhe Kecun, Zhe Yanzhitang's uncle and nephew, Yang Zongmin and Yang Zhen's father and son arrived one after another.

"Ah, please come in quickly." Wang Zhen said immediately.

Zhe Kecun is now the head of the Zhe family in Fuzhou and the general manager of the army and horses in Fuzhou.

dong dong!

"Lang Jun, someone is reporting urgently outside the house, saying that an officer holding the Xuanfu Commander's Card of Shaanxi Hedong is outside the door asking for an audience."

Entering the White Tiger Festival Hall, Zhang Meng and other retinues surrounded him and strictly prohibited anyone from approaching.

Zhe Yanzhi left Fuzhou after his father Zhe Keshi, first set out from Zhong'e, and then transferred to various armies along the northwest border. Now he is a powerful member of the Western Army.

"Everyone, sit down. I'm going to call for a treat. They'll be here soon."

In the fifth year of Zhenghe, Tong Guan rarely launched a war on the eastern front. Wang Hou and Liu Zhongwu led the army to attack Zangdihe City (now north of Zhidan, Shaanxi), and began the first Battle of Zangdihe.

The Song army was defeated.

Liu Guozhang stood up and greeted the four people.

Someone is knocking on the door outside.

Wang Zhen raised his head and sighed: "Time is also fate."

"Manager Wang, Wang Dalang, Mr. Liu interrupted so rashly, rude, rude!"

The person who came was none other than Liu Guozhang, followed by six retinues: Zhang Meng, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong, Wu Jie, Wang De, Zhang Jun, Fu Huchen and Wei Changsheng, who were walking in a hurry.

"what's up?"

Yang Zongmin was the general manager of troops and horses in Linzhou, and Yang Zhen was his son. He was famous for his superb bow and horse skills in the Western Army. It is said that his archery skills were as good as those of Liu Qi, and he was the leader of the younger generation of the Western Army.

After waiting for a while, the group was brought to the door of the study. When Wang Zhen and Wang Xun saw the leader, their eyes widened and they shouted in unison: "Jie Shuai!"

In the sixth year of Zhenghe, Zhong Shidao led the army to fight Zangdihe City again and captured it.

Due to the very important strategic location of this city, the Song and Xia armies repeatedly fought for it, and soon it was captured by the Xixia army.

In the seventh year of Zhenghe, Zhong Shidao attacked Zangdihe City again. In this battle, Yao Pingzhong, Han Shizhong, Wang De and Zhang Jun stood out. Not long after, it was taken away by the Xixia army.

In the eighth year of Zhenghe's reign, Liu Yanqing once again led his army to attack Zangdihe City. Yang Zongmin led his troops from the east to join forces to help. Yang Zhen led his warriors to ascend first with swords drawn, beheading hundreds of people. The other departments took advantage of the victory to overcome it, and ranked first in terms of merit. Since then, it has become famous in the northwest.

Yang Zhen and Liu Qi and Han Shizhong behind Liu Guozhang faced each other with their eyes blazing.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Meng came in and whispered in Liu Guozhang's ear.

"Everyone, please sit down for a moment, Liu will go out to meet an old friend."

Liu Guozhang left the White Tiger Festival Hall, walked along the corridor and saw Liu Zhuxie.

"Brother Erlang!" Liu (Zhenwu) Zhuxie pounced like a bear rushing towards Liu Guozhang.

My dear, luckily I have a solid foundation, otherwise I would have been knocked down by you.

"I miss you so much!" Liu Zhuxie said with tears.

"Haha, I didn't expect that after a year of not seeing each other, you would grow bigger. Haha!" Liu Guozhang laughed.

Liu Zhuxie also slowly recovered.

In Mobei, the land is vast and sparsely populated. Sometimes Liu Guozhang would cross Jinshan Mountain to go to the Northeast, or Liu Zhuxie would go to the summer pastures in Beihai to graze, and they would be apart for a year.

Separation is common.

"Is everything done?"

"It's done. Brother Qi returned to the Zhenwu Department in May and sent people to Beijing to tell the Khitans that we were willing to help them fight the Jurchens. When they heard about our falling out with the Wanyan Department, they believed it. The short-term officials have nothing to offer.

Brother Erlang, in the name of Zhenwuhuan, you were awarded by the Khitans as the Military Envoy of the Haixi Army and the Recruiting Envoy of the Northeast Road. The Seventh Brother was awarded the Defense Envoy of Fuzhou and the Commander-in-Chief of the Forward Army. I also gained the title of Ningzhou Governor. Then a large amount of money and food for soldiers and armor were transferred to us from Shangjing and Zhongjing.

After I set off, I arrived at the Black Car Division and received news that Qi Ge, Chi Rui, Dalanyi, Wu Hai Le, and Bo Lu He Le led 6,000 cavalry, crossed the Jinshan Mountain, and settled in Tie Li King City, fighting with Tie Li Bu Nu. We gathered together and recruited Shiwei, Tieli, Heishui Mohe and other tribes to start a war with Wanyan tribe."

Chi Rui is Zhenwu Chi Rui, ranked ninth. Together with himself, Zhenwu suppresses evil, and Zhenwu punishes evil, they are called the four heavenly kings of the new generation.

Da Lanyi is the little chief of the Zhazhi tribe, the younger brother of his predecessor, Zhen Wuhuan.

Wu Haile was a warrior of the Wugu tribe, and he was acquainted with Zhen Wuhuan from time to time.

Bolühele was a man slave of Menggu tribe, and he surrendered to Menggu when Zhenwuhuan led his troops to go to war with Menggu.

Tie Li Bu Nu is the little prince Tie Li and a good friend of Zhen Wu Huan. They once went south together and teamed up with Wanyan tribe to fight the Khitans. Zhen Wuhuan and Wanyan Sheng fell out for the first time, and he followed them northward.

Later, Zhen Wuhuan was invited back by Wanyan Aguda, and Tieli Bunu stayed in Tieli City and did not go south.

Liu Guozhang nodded. He was thoughtful and resourceful in suppressing evil. He was excellent at riding and shooting with sharp weapons and was brave and good at fighting.

Da Lanyi, Wu Haile, and Bu Luhele are the three most trusted generals, and they can act alone. They lead the army into King Tieli City, and they will definitely be able to deal with Wanyan's tribe well.

The strategy he told Zhen Zhen was not to fight with the Wanyan Department too much, but to wait for an opportunity to eliminate its effective forces. Eliminate them one by one, and the little they add up makes more.

I believe they can execute it well.

"How many troops do you have now?"

"Eight thousand six hundred cavalry, seventeen thousand horses, and more than one hundred thousand cattle and sheep are now led by Xue Anliang, Dazhongbao, Yan Zhengchen, Zhenwu Nan, and Zhenwu Jing. We stayed in Jiashan for more than ten days. There are more than 7,000 tribesmen who have defected to the surrounding areas, and there will be more and more in the future."

Liu Guozhang carefully inquired about the strength of Liu Zhuxie's troops and the situation of the Xijing Road in Monan and Beiliao.

"Zhu Xie, next you have to cooperate with the Zhe family and the Yang family in Fuzhou and Linzhou of the Song Dynasty to fight. They are the bright ones and you are the dark ones."

Liu Zhuxie chuckled, "Brother, I know, they are hounds, driving out the prey. We hide in the dark, look for the right moment, and give the prey a hard blow from the flank. This way of survival, we are in the grasslands and woodlands Hunting, I have been playing it since I was a child, and I am very familiar with it.”

"Okay, let's go in now."
