Youzhou in winter is very cold, Li Jing doesn't like to stay in such a place, but he has to face Tong Guan's army, what is curious is that Tong Guan's thunder is loud, the rain is small, after the surrender of Guo Yaoshi, Guo Yaoshi held high the banner in Zhuozhou, recruited soldiers and horses, this Youzhou general is indeed very powerful, and recruited 30,000 troops in one breath, making Tong Guan's army approaching 100,000 again. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"Tong Guan's soldiers and horses are close to 100,000, why haven't they come to attack Youzhou yet? Hasn't his army of 100,000 been trained yet? "In the main hall, Li Jing gathered everyone, here, there are not a few civil officials, but most of the generals have gathered, if the matter of Youzhou cannot be solved at the end of the year, the battle against Guanzhong next year will be affected.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that as long as the king is still in Youzhou, Tong Guan will not send troops." Yelu Dashi spoke. Everyone laughed for a while, which clearly means that Tong Guan is afraid of the enemy like a tiger, and the one who is most afraid is Li Jing.

"Where is it so exaggerated, Tong Guan falls under your hands every time." Li Jing shook his head with a smile and said, "Since Tong Guan can't come, we will take the initiative to attack Zhuozhou and Yizhou." Kill the door, they all say that the best thing for the Song army is defense, let's go and touch Zhuozhou and Yizhou, what do you think? ”

"Your Majesty, it is unwise for your ministers to think that we should attack the majority with a small number of soldiers and horses." Zhao Ding thought for a while and said: "Compared with Tong Guan's fear of the enemy like a tiger, the minister believes even more that Cai Jing has another conspiracy. Cai Jing is insidious and cunning, this person is humiliated in Youzhou, and he will definitely not give up. This time, he has an army of 100,000 people, but there is no movement, this is definitely not Cai Jing's personality. ”

"Lord Zhao thinks this old thing Cai Jing has some conspiracy?" Li Jing was stunned when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Or what kind of conspiracy does the Song Dynasty have?" In the face of absolute power, all conspiracies are floating clouds. ”

Zhao Ding frowned, he thought that Li Jing had been a little arrogant recently, the Song Dynasty had been established for more than a hundred years, and if he wanted to defeat the other party, where was it so easy, he was about to speak, and there was a sound of footsteps outside, but he saw Du Xing striding in.

"On the king, Tong Guan led an army of 100,000 people out of Zhuozhou and came towards Youzhou, and Guo Yaoshi personally led the Changsheng army as the vanguard." Duchenne reported loudly.

"I didn't expect it to really come, this Tong Guan is not afraid of the enemy like a tiger! You still want to fight us for a while. Li Jing was stunned for a moment, looked around, and said with a smile: "Or, where did Cai Jing and Tong Guan get the confidence to fight with us?" ”

Zhao Ding's face was slightly embarrassed, but Luan Tingyu and the others were very happy, and Luan Tingyu said loudly: "Your Majesty, the left and right are just looking for death, and I am afraid that he will not succeed, it is better to come, just teach this Tong Guan a lesson, let them see how powerful we are." "Li Jing's army did not have the experience of directly fighting the imperial army, and it was only compared.

"Fighting is to fight, I'm curious, where did Cai Jing and Tong Guan get the courage to dare to attack Youzhou again? Is it because he has more soldiers and horses than us? Li Jing said in surprise.

Soon, his surprise was explained, five days later, 100,000 troops gathered under Youzhou City, one after another camps rose from the ground, appeared under Youzhou City, banners covered the sky and the sun, from time to time there were bursts of shouting and killing, that is, no one came to challenge, even if Li Jing personally led the army out of the city to challenge, Tong Guan did not send anyone out to fight.

"Tong Guan is really training, and he is still training." Li Jing looked at the camp in the distance with a clairvoyant mirror, although he couldn't say that he could see it clearly, but the general appearance could still be seen, a formation appeared in the camp, these soldiers were turned around by the regiments commanded by the generals, and there were bursts of shouting and killing in their mouths, the momentum was magnificent, and the shouting and killing sound shook the sky.

"The minister has also seen the Song people's martial arts, these phalanxes also look very good, but the method of using soldiers, if it is impossible to win with these formations, the so-called impermanence of soldiers, water impermanence, each time the location of the battle is different from the enemy, the corresponding formation is naturally different, the minister also heard that every time the army goes out, the emperor of the Song Dynasty will personally give the formation to fight, this is simply a joke, then His Majesty the Emperor doesn't even know where the two sides are fighting, how can you determine what formation to lay in that place?" Yelu Dashi said with some disdain.

Hu Yanzhuo and the others on the side looked gloomy when they heard this, obviously they had also experienced this kind of thing, and Hu Yanzhuo sighed: "It's better now, when wars often broke out in the past, it didn't matter if our Huyan family used the emperor's formation map to defeat it, but if you didn't use the formation map given by the emperor to defeat, then the problem would be a big problem, those civil officials will say that you don't use the formation map rewarded by the emperor, does it mean that you are more clever than His Majesty the Emperor?" ”

"You are only partially right, you see the weakness of the formation given by the emperor, you only see the stiffness of the Song army's drill formation, but you don't see his advantages, you look at the Song army, if every Song army can be disciplined, during the exercise, familiar with all kinds of formations, then just send a general, command such an army, it will not be bad, this is the standardized command model, the flowing type creates generals, and the generals who come out of such an army cannot have few famous generals, or who is first-class, A second-rate general, but a third-rate general is still very easy to make, exterminate the thieves, guard the city, and it is enough to need such a general. What do you need to do in peacetime? Rebellion? Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty himself started by usurping the throne, how could he let the army be in the hands of outsiders, His Majesty the Emperor used this method to restrain the generals, let the generals honestly fight according to his regulations, and restrain the generals' ideological breakthroughs. That's the weakness. Li Jing pointed out the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of mass-produced third-rate general.

"What the king said is very true, maybe Zhao Kuangyin was thinking about mass-producing third-rate generals and maintaining the stability of the country, but it is a pity that the later kings are too rigid in the development of this system." Yelu Dashi sighed.

"There are also famous generals in the imperial court, most of these famous generals are from the family of Jiangmen, these people are loyal to the imperial court, and they can also take the opportunity to take advantage of the situation, and can make reasonable use of the terrain to lay down a large array, the seed clan, and the folding family, isn't that it?" Li Jing said indifferently: "Actually, the martial arts we opened in Taiyuan Academy are also mass-produced third-rate generals, but we encourage generals to have their own ideas, ensure third-rate, strive for first-class second-rate, and train famous generals, this is the basic purpose of our martial arts, as for these soldiers, aren't they also practicing the method of battle formation?" Everyone is the same, but we are more flexible than the imperial court. ”

"The king." The generals suddenly realized.
