Became a feudal lord in the late Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 264 Humiliation
The sentinels of the Han Army and the Song Army began to fight in various places very early, but this was just an early test by both sides.

The ones who suffered in the early stage were the common people in the local area. By this time, in fact, not many common people could suffer anymore.

Those who were without food either fled or died at home; those who were alive were either drafted by their own court to work as civilian laborers, or they fell into trouble and became bandits.

Tan Zhen desperately wanted to take credit, but the generals of the Song Dynasty below did not dare to joke with their own lives. Although it was still very likely that the crotch would be pulled when the fight started, there were still many sober people who had already prepared it. preparations for the war.

The Han army only occupies Yan'an Prefecture. Except for the route to Linzhou, the northern prefecture, it is still open. The Song army has opened a large net from four directions.

To the north, 30,000 Song troops on the Yongxing Military Road came to Pingrong Village. The leader, Yao Pingzhong, was known to the outside world as one hundred thousand.

To the south, 10,000 Western troops blockaded Ganquan County, and their leader, Xu Huiyan, claimed to the outside world that he had 50,000.

To the west, more than 10,000 reinforcements from Qinfeng Road were stationed on the banks of the Luoshui River. The leader, Qian Gai, was known to the outside world as one hundred thousand.

To the east, Song Dynasty Commander Tan Zhen personally led the troops, claiming to the outside world that he had all the best troops from Lianghe, with 200,000 troops, and led his troops to attack Qinghua Town fiercely. They attacked for three days but failed.

When he read the last sentence, Kang Gongbi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, while the braver generals in the tent already had smiles on their faces.

"Where the Yan'an Prefecture is located, there is a mountain called Fulong Mountain. The main force of the Han army is to march out of Fulong Mountain and face the main force of our army head-on."

"There is a letter from the master, saying that within ten days, troops will be at Tan Zhen's rear stronghold and cut off his food route."

"Sister Kang, how many troops are there in the main camp?"

Below, a general immediately spoke: "Commander, how will we march now? How will we deploy?"

Tan Zhen was now reinstated as an official and even seized military power, but before that, he had no direct contact with the Han army. But at this moment, he began to feel that the Han king was not only "just that", but also stupid!

"Then our army is only 20,000 people at full strength. Commander Song on the opposite side claims to have 200,000 troops. I don't know the exact number, so I want you to attack the other side as if it were 200,000 Song troops."

He stood up under the gaze of all the generals, and the armor on his body made a slight sound of metal friction, which was accompanied by Liang Zhe's voice the next moment, like gold and iron intertwining, making a sonorous sound.

Hearing this, the man in black armor sitting in the handsome seat smiled and said:
"The Lord said that among the seed masters there must be a fight to the death, but it is against us big men."

"Li Heda led 20,000 Xia troops to follow my Han army into the Song Dynasty. This was a blessing they could not ask for in eight lifetimes. Now, someone actually dares to rebel?"

"He Liu Ling is probably still in his early thirties, right?

The person sitting on the commander's seat was not the King of Han, but Yun Hou Liang Zhe, who had not appeared for a long time. Hearing this, a trace of cruelty immediately appeared in his eyes.

Liang Zhe smiled coldly: "Twenty thousand versus two hundred thousand, that's a ten-fold difference in strength! Not to mention those who fight, even a damn country woman will know the huge disparity in numbers, but I want you."

Kang Gongbi immediately bowed and replied: "As told to the commander-in-chief, there are six thousand soldiers, two thousand horsemen, and more than eight thousand civilians and auxiliary troops."

"win!"

Ah,
General, he is old,

He is too young and energetic to be king! "

Tan Zhen looked at the generals kneeling below him and said loudly: "There are 90,000 soldiers in our army here. Even if everyone rushes in with only blades on their bodies, the Han army can stand for a while. How many are left there?" The dozen or so Song generals below immediately burst into laughter, and someone sneered in response:

"The Yan thieves in the north could at best chase away the group of Jin people. Who are the Jin people?
The last general has also seen a Jurchen, wearing a sheepskin robe that has not been washed for many years, and sharpening bones to make arrows. He is like a group of beggars. I see how powerful Liu Ling is praised by the world. ,not necessarily! "

Everyone laughed again. At this time, someone outside loudly announced: "The Han envoy wants to see you!"

"See."

Tan Zhen leaned back on his chair and waited for the envoy to wait for a moment. He suddenly said in a joking tone: "Tell me, is this Han envoy here to surrender?"

"Hahaha"

When Wang Ahai walked into the commander's tent, he was greeted by a burst of laughter. Wang Ahai was wearing a black official robe and looked around coldly. When General Song was caught by his gaze, his laughter gradually dropped.

He turned his head and looked upward, slightly arching his hands.

"Wang Ahai, the envoy of the Han Dynasty, paid a visit to the Song Dynasty. He met the chamberlain Tan of the Song Dynasty."

Tan Zhen sat upright as he leaned on the back of the chair, stared at Wang Ahai, and corrected himself: "I am the commander-in-chief of the army designated by the officials of the Song Dynasty."

"Oh."

Wang Ahai chuckled lightly and said calmly: "I'm very sorry. I don't have the rule of letting eunuchs control men. I don't know that people in Song Dynasty can do this. It is indeed rude for a lower official."

"you!"

Tan Zhen's face was pale and red with anger. Just when he was about to say something, Tan Zhen raised his head and said coldly: "This envoy is here to recruit surrender today."

"Oh, why should I accept your surrender?"

The generals of the Song Dynasty on both sides all showed clear anger. Tan Zhen stood up angrily and said with an angry smile: "My commander's troops are dozens of times larger than yours, how dare you say that I surrender?"

"If you surrender today, this envoy can ask our Lord for you to be given a big official position to honor you," Wang Ahai said with a contemptuous tone, and sneered: "Or, I rarely have eunuchs in the Han Palace, but the eunuch Tan can do it. I will be the general manager of the Han Dynasty Palace."

Snapped!
Tan Zhen grabbed the tea cup on the desk and smashed it in front of Wang Ahai. The turbid tea splashed on his black clothes, and the color turned dark like blood.

Wang Ahai lowered his head and glanced at the stained skirt, frowned slightly, and said seriously: "If the servant offends this envoy like this again, I will not petition my master for you."

"Get out, get out. If the two armies are fighting and don't kill the envoy, I will chop you up right now!"

Tan Zhen was so angry that he was shaking all over. He didn't know for a moment whether the man in front of him had a bad mind or was deliberately seeking death, but he couldn't kill him right away. Du Chong, who was kneeling next to him, stood up and shouted to the outside: "Drag the Han envoy out, flog him thirty times, hang him on the flagpole, and drive him out of the camp tomorrow!"

The coolness of autumn slowly brewed, gradually condensing into the frost and snow of early winter, and then the road was poured open with hot blood.

Military orders were passed out of the camp one after another. In the second half of October, the Han army began to desperately increase their actions, shrinking all forces in the other three directions. Finally, they claimed to have gathered all the main forces of the Han army and headed straight towards Tan Zhen's headquarters. Kill where the main force is.

In just one day, countless frontal fighting and bloody battles broke out within a radius of 20 miles of Qinghua Town. Tan Zhen laughed at the incident and ordered the entire army to attack, vowing to kill this Han army in Yan'an Prefecture.
