"In the past few months, our army has coerced the people, and the number of regular soldiers has increased to more than 30,000, of which more than 6,000 are veterans who have survived for many years. Except for a small number of troops who stayed behind in the village, most of them were drawn to the south of Kaizhou and reorganized into five armies, front, center, left and right. ”

Zhao Xingde looked at several marching routes from north to south on the map, the Han army of each cottage was like a trickle of rivers converged, and finally gathered in Zhenhaifu - Kaizhou - Luzhou A narrow strip, this area itself is the remnant of the White Mountain, the southwest faces the sea, the river fork fishing port is all over, plus the original Zhang Liuge naval army strategy, you can get supplies from the Xia and Song countries at any time, the southeast is the Yalu River Jurchen tribe, after the Yalu River, it is the Goryeo Kingdom. Since the rise of the Jin Kingdom, the Goryeo Kingdom has been trying to subdue the Jurchen tribes of the Yalu River, pushing the border from Dingzhou, Xuande, and Yuanxing to the north to the Yalu River. Under the threat of Goryeo, the Yalu Jurchen tribes had to find allies, and the equally weak and adjacent Han military camp became the ideal ally for some Yalu Jurchen chieftains, and the ideal prey in the eyes of some tribal leaders.

"General Hengzhi, the king of Kaizhou Zhai, has been running this place, and the more than 20,000 regular soldiers of our army concentrated to the south, plus the dependents of the army and the people who are coerced, there are suddenly hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in this area. I'm afraid that the Yalu River Jurchen Department has some ideas, and dealing with them is nothing more than using military might, luring them with profit, and dividing and conquering them. Wang Xuansu slid the wooden stick from the Yalu River to the north and pointed it at the Jurchen Jin Kingdom, "The Jurchen tribe here has always been in contact with the Wanyan tribe about the alliance, but although they and the Jin Kingdom are both Jurchens, they are strangers and hostile to each other, just like the Xia and Song kingdoms in the south. To deal with this Yalu River Jurchen, you must hold the fire, usually you might as well show weakness, lest you force them to form an alliance with the Jin State step by step, and once the war starts, use cavalry to cut off the north-south communication of the Jurchen tribes, gather a large army to sweep the tribes to the south, and quickly smash the tribes hostile to our army. When the time comes, even if Jin Guo wants to intervene, it will be too late. After the war subsided, we had to accept the fact that we occupied the north and south of the Yalu River. ”

Wang Xuansu then explained how the Han army was concentrated in each village, how to unify the orders, the supply of grain and grass along the way, the distribution of the enemy army, and the station after arrival. Han Ningshuang has been listening, and Xu Detai and other Han army generals occasionally questioned it. Zhao Xingde's secret way, this Wang Xuansu commanded Han Ningshuang's guard, the marching plan he made was extremely proper, and he was like the role of the marching Sima, and he was an important figure in the army.

"He compared the Xia Kingdom with the Song Kingdom, and it seems that he has carefully considered the situation in the south, is there still a plan to chase the Central Plains? I can't imagine that there are such characters in the weak Han army. Zhao Xingde's heart moved slightly, and he heard Xu Detai smile again: "General Wang's strategy is interlocking everywhere, and taking care of each other is already extremely careful. Originally, I was worried that some villagers would disobey the centralized reorganization, and the eldest lady set a plan to capture and indulge, and let Han Guo fan the flames everywhere. ”

Han Ningshuang sighed softly and said slowly: "If the uncle really thinks about my Liaodong Han army, it doesn't hurt to let him sit in the position of the leader of the alliance, but it's a pity that he took refuge in the Jin country, and tried in vain to use my Han army brother as his own advancement step, and I will be incompatible." can only plan as he goes, let him appear on the stage, and lead out those who are disloyal and unrighteous. To this day, she still calls Mr. Han Da "uncle".

Han Ningshuang still remembers that when the children of the Han family were almost wiped out by the Khitans, Han Jing, who was in his thirties, came to tell her that the hands covered with thick calluses stroked the head of the little girl who was so frightened that she couldn't cry, and comforted awkwardly: "Don't be afraid, Uncle will never allow bad people to hurt you." This gentle voice is still in my ears today. Han Ningshuang's mother was illiterate, so she could only teach her to ride sheep and shoot arrows with a small bow from the age of five. Chinese characters and Chinese books are all taught by Mr. Han Da, and because of this, Han Ningshuang's enlightenment reading is "The Art of War", not "The Female Commandment". She gets up every day, washes and reads first, and then practices martial arts and archery for an hour, all of which are habits left from then on.

Although Mr. Han Da tested the wavering people in the Han army, she did not feel proud at all, but a trace of gloom surged from the bottom of her heart. At that time, the Han army was able to sweep through Liaodong, making Qunhu bow his head, relying on going to the righteousness without sparing his life, the military discipline was strict, and the generals were on the road when they heard the order, and the soldiers served the battlefield. Now that the soldiers and horses have not moved, Mr. Han Da has wooed the Jurchens, and the leaders of eight Dazhai have followed him with all their hearts, and the leaders of more than 20 villages are waiting, which is really chilling, so she has to make up her mind to clean up the portal.

In the past few decades, the Han army in Liaodong has forbearance and ambush, scattered in various cottages, while preserving its strength, it has also tolerated and nurtured traitors, and has bred a group of people who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and forget their righteousness for profit. Now, if we want to do great things and condense the original stragglers into a real army, we must first weed out the internal wavering, so as not to spoil the pot of soup with these few grains of rat droppings.

Xu Detai pointed to the eight cottages marked on the map, and said in a contemptuous tone: "If you want each village to be correct about the centralized integration, you must first get rid of these ungrateful rats, kill chickens and monkeys, and these wavering wall grass, and then know who is in charge of the Han army!" ”

Lu Kui patted his thigh and said with a smile: "It's a pity that it's not winter, otherwise, let these guys 'fart'." All the generals burst out laughing. Because the winter in the mountains was extremely cold, and the Han army lacked clothes, they stripped the traitor naked, tied it firmly to the tree with a rope, and kicked him in the stomach when he left, and listened to a loud fart, this person released hot air, and after a while, he froze into a popsicle. The winter here is bitterly cold, once the village is destroyed, even if you escape, there is only one way to die of cold and starvation, so the most hated by the Han army in Liaodong is the traitor and traitor, once you find that you are unstable, the execution is also extremely ruthless.

Zhang Liuge said with a worried face: "Now is the time is very, whether it is the Khitan, the Jurchen, or even the Goryeo, they will try their best to win over these undetermined people. If we are too ruthless, will we push the Jurchens down among these people? What he is worried about is that the Han army's villages have been independent for decades, and some villages want them to give up their decades of foundation and concentrate on reorganization in the south, and there will inevitably be dissatisfied.

Xiong Renyue held the long knife in both hands and said indignantly: "What else is there to hesitate? Out of a traitor, kill a stockade! Get rid of it sooner, save trouble sooner! "The strength of the Han army is weak, and the reason why it can survive in Liaodong is because of the hiding of Xianbei, Taibai and other mountains. In the past few decades, there have been one or two traitors who betrayed the location of the stockade to the Khitans, and as a result, the entire stockade was wiped out by the Liao army.

Xue Congxiao clenched his fists tightly, nodded heavily, and said hatefully: "If these guys don't get rid of them soon, they will ruin our big things in the future." His face was gloomy, the Xue family was a secret stake of the Han army in the place, and as a result, a traitor came out to report to the Liao State, causing his whole family to be captured by the Liao court, only the young Xue Congxiao escaped from the dog cave alone, and his parents and relatives were tortured to death.

Zhao Xingde's face was solemn, and he felt that it was reasonable for Zhang Liuge to be worried, and whether it would be counterproductive to integrate the Han army by such drastic means, causing the Han army to drift away from Germany. But this is a matter of cleaning up the door within the Han army, and Han Ningshuang invited him to audit, just to show his honesty. He is a guest secretary, and if he forcibly intervenes, it will inevitably be a bit out of bounds. Therefore, Zhao Xingde could only nod to Brother Zhang Liuge, but he couldn't say anything in support.

The other generals all advocated a solution to the Han village that had turned to the Jin State in despair. Regarding this brother cannibalism, a trace of bitterness flashed in Brother Zhang's eyes, and he didn't speak again. A purge within the Han army was inevitable. After tonight, I don't know how many people will fall to the ground. Then Xu Detai and other Han generals began to discuss how to set up ambushes to kill these traitors in the Han army, while launching the hidden piles of ambushes in these cottages, and then replacing them with generals loyal to Han Ningshuang, how to cleanse the party henchmen in the traitor cottages.

Han Ningshuang did not participate in these specific discussions, except for paying attention to the generals who were speaking, and looked at Zhao Xingde who was sitting on the side from time to time. Inviting him to participate in the secret meeting this time was not only to make up for the many arrangements that kept him in the dark some time ago, but also to show Xia Guo the Han clan's ability to control all parts of the Han army. The leaders of the stockade who disobeyed Han's orders would soon realize this. Han's decades-long hidden arrangements and hidden piles are just to cope with today's situation.

Three days later, one morning, pigeons flew from nowhere and landed in Jiming Village in the upper reaches of the Duck River. The big boss of Jiming Village went south to Huanglong Mansion more than a month ago and participated in the Han Army Alliance. Now in the village, although Yu Er is in charge, the brothers are more convinced by Liu San, who is the most righteous.

The third master, Liu Baohu, cut off the red wheat stalks tied to the pigeon's legs, and then brought a copy of "100 Tang Quatrains". After unfolding and reading the note against "One Hundred Tang Quatrains", Liu Baohu was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and crumpled the note into a ball and swallowed it into his stomach. He was extremely careful in all of these movements, which was very different from his usual rough and brave appearance. If anyone saw this scene, they would probably fall to the ground in shock. Liu Baohu can dance a big knife weighing more than 100 catties, and he was born with a rough and brainless appearance. But he is really the most cautious person, this Tang poem has always been placed in Liu Baohu's room, everyone thinks that Liu San is illiterate, and putting a book of Tang poems is just pretending.
