Chapter 439: Appearance is not everything
Zhao Huan looked at Han Shizhong, who was eager to try, how could he give him such a task?
Han Shizhong is the military rank of the envoy of the festival who is greedy for Wang Yu, this is a good thing and a bad thing, Zhao Huan told Han Shizhong not to send troops privately.
Han Shizhong was helpless, and then thought about it, his temperament was really not suitable for fighting with the Jin people in a place like the Black Soil District.
But who to send?
Zhao Huan felt that Wang Yu was the most suitable, but how much blood had Wang Yu shed for the Great Song Dynasty?
Zhao Huan really didn't want him to fight a tough battle anymore, Wang Yu still fought a tough battle, but Zhao Huan was a little reluctant.
Tossing Wang Yu again, I'm afraid that Wang Yu's body bones can't hold it, Lin Youyu said that as soon as Wang Yu arrived in rainy and snowy weather, he was in terrible pain, and gritted his teeth on the bed and endured it.
The place I went to this time was not Huanglong Mansion, but the black soil area of the Jin people, the core area of the core. After such a long journey, Zhao Huan was a little unbearable.
Although he knew that as long as he had an order, Wang Yu would definitely kill him, but Zhao Huan was a little reluctant to toss Wang Yu.
And Wang Yu is not a delicate person, he planned for a whole few months from Linhuang to Huanglong Mansion, and only planned to go, but did not plan to come back.
This time he went to the black soil area behind Huining Mansion, and Zhao Huan was afraid that he would die there by accident.
I am such a festival envoy, and if I use him to go to the black soil area again, Wang Yu will be injured and injured, I am afraid that I will really never see him again.
Nor can it accomplish the strategic purpose of harassing the grain and grass of the golden people.
It is necessary to send someone who has experience in organizing the people to attack the black soil area.
"One of the ministers recommended it. The eight-character army is under control, Wang Yan. Yue Fei said out of the ranks.
"Wang Yan is delicate, good at preservation, and has enough experience to organize the people to join forces with the Han people in Huining Mansion, and the minister feels that Wang Yan is extremely suitable." Yue Fei gave his reasons.
Zhao Huan's eyes lit up, Zhao Huan had seen Wang Yan's information, and his loyalty to the Great Song Dynasty was absolutely sufficient.
And his own record in Taihang Mountain is also a sufficient guarantee.
There were originally as many as 360,000 people in the 36 caves of Taihang Mountain, all of whom were influenced by Wang Yan, persuaded to surrender, and went deep into the people and organized the people to resist the looting of bandits.
Wang Yan, it's very suitable.
"Then send Wang Yan?" Zhao Huan nodded and asked Zhao Yingxuan Wang Yan to go to the palace.
Wang Yan was dragged to the Yanjing Palace while eating, and when he saw the official family of the emperor, he said: "The minister is willing to take the order to the black soil area north of Huining Mansion, but the official family, the minister may need horses." ”
"The Jin people and the Taihang bandits are completely different, if they are deployed behind enemy lines, they join forces with the people of Huining, there are no horses, and my Great Song soldiers and the Han Er will not be able to escape when the Jin soldiers arrive."
Wang Yan expressed his concerns truthfully.
The Taihang Mountain bandits also did not have horses, Wang Yan needed horses to increase his mobility, and if he wanted to destroy the enemy's food and grass supply behind enemy lines, it was really difficult to do it without any mobility.
"Speaking of horses, when General Wang returned this time, he gave me a treasure." Zhao Huan heard Wang Yan say the difficulty, and said with a smile.
"Let's go, follow me to see the treasure that General Wang gave me." Zhao Huan stood up with great interest and walked to the platform.
Zhao Ying took the stables very interestingly, pulled out the horses that Wang Yu had sent to the palace, and said, "The official family has brought it." ”
Many generals looked at the horse and were puzzled......
The horse's immediate impression is that it is ugly.
And the physique is too small, the shoulder width is only four feet, quite wide, and the length looks relatively thin, and the torso and legs are a little thick.
This is the same as a person with a very low head, broad shoulders, a big belly, but a very strong torso, such a person is quite popular with prostitutes in Fan Lou because of his good physical strength.
This is the first impression of the generals on these bad horses, they are ugly, and they are black and white, which makes people unlikable at first sight.
"This is my snowflake skull." Zhao Huan looked at this horse, and the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and the courtiers looked at each other, is it too much to call this black and white inferior horse?
Zhao Huan looked at the faces of the courtiers and knew what they were thinking.
When Wang Yu pulled the horse to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan also felt that this horse was too ugly.
"Thousands of miles of wind and thousands of miles of sunshine, can't catch up with the iron hoof horses of a hundred forks. This is a real horse. Zhao Huan said with a smile.
"The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty have been short of horses for a long time, and this kind of bad horses run all over the grassland, semi-wild, and there are also herdsmen who tame these horses, but they have a tyrannical temperament and often kick and hurt the herdsmen, and later, slowly let them run all over the world, and no one cares about them." Zhao Huan said with a smile.
Wang Yan wanted to ride this inferior horse around the big circle and go to the black soil area, this kind of horse was related to the life of him and the rebel army he carried. Can't be sloppy.
He frowned and asked: "Official, cheap, no matter how cheap it is, it can't be used to make military horses, when this time of war, it is really worthless to lower people." ”
"This kind of horse travels 500 miles a day and rests at night, which can last for 18 days without stopping."
"The king told me that he had measured it. It's not as fast as Maxima, but it's better to last. Zhao Huan said the first advantage, this is the highest speed of the march measured by Wang Yu, which almost scared Wang Yu.
Wang Yan's gaze when he looked at this horse changed suddenly, Wang Yu's festival was well deserved, the whole army knew his deeds, and this upright man was not good at lying.
If this is true, it is enough to rewrite the status quo of the lack of horses in the Great Song Dynasty.
As for horse wars?
The Great Song soldiers are not good at it, and they also expect to be able to surpass the Jin people in kung fu on horses in this life, but they can't play the Jin people who grew up on horseback.
What is the most important thing about this detour behind the enemy? Mobility.
Five hundred a day, eighteen days of such endurance, you can play with the gold people in the black soil area!
"This kind of horse is easy to feed, and it doesn't need to be mashed with grain, and ordinary forage can live, but it is a little thinner. Endurance will be poor, if you feed with grain, you will gain weight quickly. Zhao Huan said the second advantage.
It is easy to feed and is not afraid of freezing, this pair of Wang Yan, who went to the north and lost the supplies of the Great Song Dynasty, has more room to turn around with such horses.
The pressure on logistics will be much less.
Zhao Huan smiled and told Wang Yan about the advantages of Wang Yu, such as stepping on the wolf's head with iron hooves, and not being afraid on the battlefield.
"Can you try it?" Wang Yan asked.
Zhao Huan shook his head unexpectedly and said: "This horse is more strange, more recognizable, General Wang said that the soldiers fell to the ground, and the living should not be approached, this horse was ridden by me, you can't ride it." ”
"But there are a lot of them, so if you want to try them, you can try them at a horse farm outside the city."
Zhao Huan returned to the hall with his ministers, and said with a smile: "Captain Wang, what else do you need?" ”
"The minister needs fur, the north is too bitter cold, the wind and snow are strong, no fur can not keep out the cold, cotton clothes may be difficult to resist." Wang Yan thought for a while and said.
Zhao Huan nodded, the more thoughtful he thought about it now, the less overstretched he would be when he arrived in the black soil area.
"You can go to Shanhaiguan first to find Wang Yu to learn from him, and ask him in detail how to fight in the snow. Report what you need, I will prepare you thoroughly, and I will go again when I am ready. Zhao Huan said.
The Great Song Dynasty has everything, except for horses, and now this problem is even more serious.
The Great Song army was originally a strategic defense, but after the completion of the Fengshengzhou Military Fort, when it turned into a strategic offensive, the Great Song Dynasty's demand for good war horses became more and more urgent.
"This kind of bad horse is all on the grassland, I heard that they have a kind of back mountain horse over there, after Captain Wang arrives, help me pay attention to it." Zhao Huan said.
The Houshan horse is the leader among the Mongolian horses, and it is a war horse that is really suitable for the descendant troops, except for the short point, it is an extremely excellent military horse in all aspects.
Wang Yan bowed his head and thanked him and left the court.
The first step proposed by Yue Fei was to divide the enemy, and Zhao Huan had already begun to prepare, and the Imperial City Division of the Jin State reported that the Jin people had a large-scale migration call. It's a good opportunity.
"So next, let's plan how to divide the Jin people, Xi people, Khitan people, Hanhai people, Fuyu people, and Han'er. An extremely important step. Zhao Huan said, Zhao Ying moved out of the sand table.
"Report! Official! Dong Shengwei, the farmer who built the city was attacked! Yang Xinzhong fought in Western Xia, killed 800 people, and led the people and soldiers back to Datong Mansion! A personal servant officer brought an urgent military report and handed it to Shen Cong in the court.
Tangut people?! Did they finally move?
In fact, it's right to think about it, his Dongshengwei is about to ride to the face of the Xixia people, if he builds the Dongshengwei for himself, the entire Hetao Plain of the Xixia people is under Zhao Huan's troops, and it is strange that there is no movement at this time.
When Zhao Huan opened the military newspaper, his face became extremely serious.
It was not only the Western Xia people who attacked Dongsheng Wei Minfu, but also Wanyan Lou's room!
Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Dynasty was obviously the mastermind behind this joint attack, and in this sneak attack battle, Yang Xinzhong handled it calmly and turned the sneak attack battle into an encounter battle.
You came and went, Yang Xin fought and retreated, barely keeping the main force and the people.
The Tangut and Jin people have finally joined forces!
This is not a good person!
Zhao Huan stared at the place on Yunzhong Road, pointed to Datong Mansion, and said, "The enemy's target may be here." ”
