"Marshal, there is a report from the front, saying that the 100,000 reinforcements led by Wanyan Lou have set off from Youzhou and are rushing to our side." After a small official of Wu Desi received Liu Ling's instructions, he hurriedly ran to report the matter to Tang Ning.

Now the relationship between Downing and Wu Desi is like water and fire, and it is no longer the partnership that stood on the same front and united against the enemy.

Although the officials of the Wude Division respected Tang Ning, this did not mean that they would tell Tang Ning everything they knew without reservation as before.

Coupled with the impact of the previous Wu Sheng incident, everyone was a little resistant to Tang Ning. Wu Sheng was not the one who Tang Ning inserted into the Wu De Division, and only Liu Ling knew the truth.

So now, even if it is such important news, they have to ask Liu Ling first, and then they are willing to tell Tang Ning.

If Liu Ling didn't want to say it, then Tang Ning could only rely on his scouts to get this information when Wanyan Lou led the army to the territory of Canzhou.

At this time, Tang Ning was discussing with his subordinate general how to deal with the enemy, and this subordinate general was a candidate highly recommended by Yang Yingzheng.

After the Zhenguo army was dispersed, Yang Yingzheng had nowhere to go. Although he is the successor of Yang Lao Linggong, Lao Linggong has been dead for so many years, and his influence is really not as high as imagined.

Although Yang Yingzheng also has a lot of military merits, and his overall status in the Great Song Dynasty army is above average, but because he can't speak congenitally, it is very difficult for him to become a general again.

In the Zhenguo Army, there can still be Liu Qi, Wu Dazhuang, these brothers who get along day and night, and cultivate a tacit understanding, can pay attention to his meaning, and go to other places, how can anyone be willing to take care of him?

The brothers in the Zhenguo Army are all brothers who have been killed all the way from penniless to known to the world, and soldiers from other places have lived too many peaceful days, and the arrogance exuded from their bodies is about to condense into substance.

Suddenly, there is a mute, isn't it going to be bullied by them to the extreme?

Yang Yingzheng can't say it, it doesn't mean that he won't think about it. After following Tang Ning for so many years, I also know that I can use my brain to think about problems. When he thought about this clearly, he really wanted to learn from Gao Shu and Shenqian and retreat directly from the army.

But it was at this time that someone found him.

This person is Tang Ning's current reused general, Lu Qiren.

This guy looks like he is loyal and big-eyed, but his mind is full of treacherous and desperate schemes.

But he is quite kind to his allies, and basically there is no one who does not regret being his enemy.

The reason why he found Yang Yingzheng in the first place was also very simple, when he fought in the Shenglong Mansion in Jiaozhi before, Yang Yingzheng's performance was very outstanding.

His deeds were brought back to the Great Song Dynasty by those merchants and spread.

As a legendary general under the legendary commander, his deeds were praised by the people. Plus his own

The identity is the descendant of Yang Lao Linggong, so naturally many people are very interested in it.

When Lu Qiren was the head of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army before, he had heard of Yang Yingzheng's deeds, so he was quite interested in this person.

Later, when Yang Yingzheng had nowhere to go, he also took the initiative to find the Privy Council and asked Yang Yingzheng over.

It wasn't until Zhao Ji began to recruit soldiers for the Northern Expedition that he and Yang Yingzheng volunteered to sign up.

It's just that they were assigned to the rear army, and they didn't have a chance to meet Tangning until a month ago.

The old man was overjoyed to meet Tang Ning again, and he took another test of Lu Qiren, and affirmed him, made an exception to promote him to his general, and gave advice to himself when no one was available around him.

Wu Desi's people didn't deliberately avoid him when they finished the matter of Yan Lou's room, so after Wu Desi finished speaking, he said: "Well, it will take a long way from Youzhou to this side, and they will not be able to arrive in eight days at the earliest."

Marshal, we have to take the city of Canzhou within eight days. ”

Tang Ning nodded and said, "It really should be like this, but Ben Shuai has some other ideas." I don't know if you, General Lu, have any other ideas besides capturing Canzhou City? ”

Lu Qiren touched his chin, and said with a flickering eye: "The idea will be there, but the general is afraid that it will be a little difficult to implement." ”

"Hehe, but it doesn't hurt to say it. Whether it's difficult or not, as long as it's an idea, it's worth referencing. ”

"If so, then the end will be ugly." Lu Qiren cleared his throat and said: "Actually, Wanyan Lou said that he brought 100,000 troops, and according to the future, it is very unlikely that he will bring 100,000 people.

First of all, not long before that, the Jin army captured the Datong Mansion of the Liao State and drove the Liao Emperor to the Jiashan area.

If the Jin army is commanded by the end of the future, the first priority at this time is naturally to capture the emperor of Liao. There was still a small part of the territory of the Liao State that the Jin army could not take, and if the Liao Emperor could be captured, the defenders in the rest of the region would naturally have low morale.

In this way, they would be able to easily and completely annex the Liao State.

As the saying goes, a hundred-legged insect is dead but not stiff. Although Liao is embarrassed now, it is still not to be underestimated. The area around Jiashan is very easy to hide troops and set up ambushes, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.

If there is no force several times that of the Liao army, I am afraid that it will not be so easy to march into Jiashan.

The Jin army had to send at least 150,000 troops to have a chance to capture the Liao Emperor.

However, the Jin State has been fighting for many years, and the treasury has long been empty. The strategy of fighting to feed the war is only to quench your thirst by drinking. There are 150,000 in Datong Mansion and 100,000 in Youzhou, and the Jin State simply does not have so many resources to support these two armies.

The last general heard that even the palace of the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, Wanyan Aguta, the outer walls were made of fences, which shows the degree of distress of the Jin Kingdom.

Therefore, Wanyan Lou definitely does not have 100,000 troops

, he only has 60,000 at most, and saying that it is 100,000 is just a bluff.

Now our army has the advantage of strength, even if we do not withdraw the 120,000 troops that attacked the twelve walled forts, and at the same time face the defenders in the city of Canzhou, and the reinforcements of Wanyan Lou are not afraid at all.

In addition, Wanyan Lou will definitely not ignore the besieged walled fort, and the last general thinks that it is better to take the opportunity to wipe out all the reinforcements of Wanyan Lou Room, or defeat them. ”

Seeing Tang Ning nodding frequently, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, Lu Qiren changed his words and said: "But the only thing that the last general is worried about is that although Wanyan Lou's troops are at a disadvantage, the quality of the soldiers is definitely superior.

The Kingdom of Jin fought for many years, and the soldiers were all experienced. And although our army is numerous, most of them are soldiers with no combat experience.

Even though the military is constantly aged, there have been a few decent battles. The last general was worried that our army would steal chickens and rice, but would be beaten by Wanyan Lou's room, so the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Tang Ning looked at Lu Qiren in surprise and said, "With your talent, it is more than enough to lead an army to fight, why did you only serve as a sect leader in the forbidden army before this?" ”

Lu Qiren said with a smile: "The last general came from a humble background, and he suffered a lot when he was a child. Although he can make contributions to the army, the last general is unwilling to live a hard life without the next meal.

In addition, there are elderly parents at home who need to be served by the last general, so the last general went to the forbidden army.

At the end of his childhood, he used Chang Xi to dance with a gun, and mixed up with the kung fu of a three-legged cat, and was promoted to the head of the sect. ”

"Then why are you so proactive this time?" Tang Ning blinked and asked, "Although the Northern Expedition is important, it is not a sure victory. ”

Lu Qiren also blinked: "It's not a secret, the last general has admired you for a long time, but he has never had the opportunity to serve under your account."

Three years ago, the general's parents passed away, and after the end of the filial piety period, he wanted to join the Zhenguo Army and work under you. But you resigned and returned to Runzhou, so the matter was put on hold.

Now that you're leading your troops again, the Admiral doesn't want to miss this opportunity. ”

Tang Ning patted Lu Qiren on the shoulder and said, "When this is over, I will recommend you to Your Majesty." ”

Lu Qiren got up and hugged his fists and said, "Thank you, Dashuai." ”

"So, the safest way now is to capture Canzhou City?"

"Yes."

"Hmm...... In fact, the reinforcements in the Wanyan Lou room are large, and the benefits are even higher. If the reinforcements of Wanyan Lou's room are defeated, these areas before Youzhou can be driven straight in. ”

"It's up to you." Lu Qiren smiled: "The higher the return, the greater the risk." Steady and steady, the Jin Army is definitely not our opponent. ”

"I'll think about it again."

"Yes." After Lu Qiren finished speaking, he hugged his fists again and retreated......
