Chapter 34: A Proposed Truce for Mu Shengping (10)

[There is one more time to be delayed.] ]

The news that gave Han Gang and his shogunate a headache was the good news that made Xiao 13 and Zhang Xiaojie happy.

Most of the previously available combat power had to rest due to too much consumption, and the rest had to go to Shuozhou to guard against the Song army occupying Wuzhou, which had to make the cavalry of the Song army very arrogant for a while. Although the Song army dared to go straight to the city of Daizhou, Xiao Shisan still had enough strength to counteract, but in the face of the Song cavalry holding the divine arm bow, he still lacked effective means to deal with it for a while.

However, since the more than 6,000 elites under his command who had recovered their combat effectiveness were sent to Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang to be stationed in Dawangzhuang and Xiaowangzhuang, which were on the main road forty miles southwest of Daizhou, the arrogant Song army had disappeared without a trace outside Daizhou City.

This is very much like the old trick of the Song army. It is not a matter of fighting to defeat the enemy, as long as the threat is high enough to be stationed at key points, it is a great threat to the enemy. At present, the two armies of Liao and Song Dynasty are clamping each other on the line from Dawangzhuang to the county seat of Laoxian County in the southwest of Daizhou City, and it is even difficult to separate.

As Xiao Shisan further assigned the Divine Arm Bow, the battle between the scouts on both sides became more and more fierce. The casualty report of the distant detective stopped the horse and Xiao Shisan couldn't even eat for a few days, and on the Song side, although the specific number was not clear, Xiao Shisan's could be sure that the Song army's losses would only be more than his own. Just like the Duzi in the play, since the casualty figures on both sides are high, relatively speaking, of course, the side with more cavalry can afford to lose more.

Once the Song army did not have enough cavalry to protect the marching infantry, then they would have to risk ten times as much if they wanted to take a step forward to Daizhou.

"What about the Western Army? It's almost time to calculate the time. Zhang Xiaojie asked Xiao Shisan, solved the immediate problem, and the hidden worries of the future came to the table.

Han Gang's experience is not a secret in the upper echelons of the Liao State.

This young privy deputy envoy is bound to be a big disaster for Da Liao in the next few decades, but for many princes and nobles, he is a first-class figure of gods and Buddhas who save people's lives, and he cannot be easily excused. Before Xiao Shisan went to attack Taigu County, where Hangang was located, he also went boldly. The result of being disgraced made many generals who participated in the attack battle secretly complained that Xiao Shisan led people into the fire pit.

With Han Gang's prestige in the Shaanxi army, the Western Army can exert ten percent of his abilities under him. It's not that such an enemy can't win, but if it wins, it will outweigh the losses, and it's 100% discounted.

"Don't scare yourself. We'll talk about it later. With the bunch of waste that comes out of Kaifeng now, there's nothing to worry about. Xiao 13 said something he couldn't believe.

Xiao Shisan said that the Jingying Forbidden Army was a waste, but he didn't dare to treat the tens of thousands of people in Xinkou Village as waste.

As for the composition of the army under Han Gang's command, after nearly two months of fighting, and there are one hundred and eighty live mouths caught, Xiao Shisan can almost claim to know everything about it.

So far, the main force in Han Gang's hands has made the least meritorious contributions, and he doesn't even have a chance to come out. It was the Zhejia outside the river who seized Wuzhou. Now the opponent who caused the greatest losses to the cavalry of the regular army was also from the Hedong Army.

But this does not mean that the tens of thousands of forbidden troops in Beijing are really useless waste. Even if it is a waste, picking up a divine arm bow, holding a horse chopping knife, and wearing iron plate armor, it is a waste that will make people break their teeth. Not to mention the commander who leads that army, which is not so easy to defeat. With him leading the troops, dogs can also become wolves.

Xiao Shisan didn't dare to take the risk and let his elite soldiers crash into the Song army's arrow array, what if it was a hard bone and broke his teeth? Not to mention Hangang, Shenwu County has a big worm guarding there! His Royal Highness Shangfu could hardly tolerate the needless loss of the elite under his command. If he offends the generals and nobles under his command because of this, maybe Shang's father will have to sacrifice him to defuse people's anger.

What's more, just like Zhang Xiaojie said, Han Gang's most familiar Kansai Forbidden Army should have arrived at this time. Although I don't know where it is now, as long as it appears, Han Gang can play three or five times more tricks. The pressure it brings can make people breathless.

However, Xiao 13 still has a way to deal with it. The best solution is to break the current deadlock. If the current deadlock in Daizhou can be broken, it will be of decisive significance to the peace talks that have not yet been discussed.

"The party barbarians who occupy Wuzhou have been put aside for too long, and it is time for them to understand that the prestige of the Khitan elite soldiers does not come out of thin air."

……………………

"Finally, those guys can be sent away."

After receiving the official document signed by Han Gang, President Zheke breathed a sigh of relief. As many as 20,000 divination blockers, as long as they exist in Shenwu County, the pressure on Zhi Kexing is as huge as a mountain.

"What did the privy envoy say?" He asked his son, who had been sent back with Kumon, "Are you going to ask the dividers to go into battle?" ”

Of course, Zhe Keda will not hide anything from his father: "There are not a few scouts lost these days, and a group of new people are urgently needed to replenish them. ”

"That's why I fell in love with those diviners." Zhi Kexing shook his head, but no longer expressed his opinion on this matter, but asked about the situation of the lost cavalry: "How is it?" Are they all from Daizhou? ”

"There are also Taiyuan ones." Zhi Keda replied: "So now the commanders of the Beijing camp have also been pulled up." ”

Zhi Kexing's expression was immediately difficult to look at, "How useful can those who play a hundred tricks on Jin Ming Chi?" ”

The Beijing Camp Forbidden Army, saying that it is a hundred plays, is really true. Compared to juggling on horseback, there is really no one in the world who can compare to him. Zhe Keda has heard that if it weren't for the fact that the forbidden army was restricted by identity, otherwise the performance at the horse racing conference would not need to poach people from the Montenegrin party in Shengzhou, which is far away in Cangzhou.

It's not that the existence of these divination blockers is not beneficial, their rebellion made Xiao Shisan dare not mobilize foreign races to fight at all, but instead divided his troops to stare at a few disobedient families.

However, more than 20,000 people stopped in Wuzhou, which kept the only 8,000 sons and daughters awake at night. Moreover, the grain and grass are eaten as much as they can, and they can't be saved. In case the grain route is cut off, there is only one way to break through immediately.

"My father tried to transfer all these diviners several times, but they were all pressed down by the privy councillor's application." Zhi Kexing sighed.

Zhi Keda immediately said: "But the previous situation really can't let outsiders come." ”

Zhi Kexing also knew that the Xinkou Village was indeed very unstable at that time, there were people, defeated soldiers, and Liao thieves who could appear at any time, and there was a group of divination blockers, and a little conflict could become a big mess that was difficult to clean up.

However, now Xinkou Village, which is separated by a mountain, has already stabilized under Han Gang's arrangement. And the surrounding towns and villages are controlled, and at the same time, the source of chaos has also been removed. Although there are more than a dozen tribes in number, even if they want to make trouble after going south, they will be suppressed immediately.

The patriarchs of more than a dozen tribes were summoned to the tent of Zhekexing, and bowed down to listen to the commander's lecture.

Zhi Kexing's reprimand surprised the patriarchs, "Han Shumi intends to attack Daizhou, but there is a lack of people to obey orders. This is a rare opportunity, whether you can gain a firm foothold in the Great Song Dynasty depends on whether you can satisfy Han Shumi this time. ”

"But you can see Han Shumi with your own eyes?!"

"Of course. How can that be fake? And it's not just Han Shumi, after making meritorious contributions, he can even go to meet the Son of Heaven. That's not the emperor of Liao, he only collects annual tribute, and there is no reward. The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty is different, as long as you pay tribute and send tribute, you can get a rich reward as a reward. ”

These news made the patriarchs all start to feel excited, and their bodies couldn't help but tremble.

"Is the silver silk of the imperial court enough to send them away?" Zhe Keda asked his cousin Zhe Keshi.

He had seen many tribes who regarded the grace of the court as a benefit in doing business. The local products offered soon paid off, and the reward was very rich, far more than what was seen. The state treasury also suffered a lot of losses as a result. But at this time, Zhe Kexing actually used such a method to attract the divination people to work harder.

Zhe Ke Shi Ha Da Lu smiled: "Enough." If necessary, the court will also be a little stingy. Eat a trench and grow wise, and always let them remember that the kindness of the court is not a tool for them to accumulate wealth. ”

The patriarch sent a dry block to the patriarch, and turned back to explain to his son and nephew, "This generation is afraid of power and virtue, if you loosen a star and a half, maybe they will think that we are easy to bully." ”

"However, the name of Han Shumi is also spread throughout the east, west, north and south in the Liao Kingdom, and they must have heard of it, so they will not dare to disobey their orders."

"Two of these men have met the Privy Counsellor before, right? It seems that at that time, he asked the privy councillor to sow pox for the children of their clan. ”

In order to win the hearts of foreign people, the Khitan people also regarded the pox method as a gift, and in recent years, after the chiefs of various tribes brought their children to Beijing, they would plant pox for them.

Although the Khitan people will never preach Han Gang, the tribes are not deaf and blind, and the name of Han Gang, a disciple of the Medicine King Buddha, has long been spread throughout the grassland. Therefore, when they visited Han Gang, several patriarchs bowed and worshipped, and one of the requests they made was to plant pox for the children of the clan.

"What did the privy say to them?" Zhi Kexing asked.

"As long as you are obedient and make meritorious deeds, the court will not hesitate to reward."

Zhi Kexing clapped his hands: "Well said." That's right! How can you give away the benefits first for no reason. ”

"Hmm." Zhe Ke nodded, "Bones can only be rewarded after the dog takes back the prey, and there has never been a reason to reward first and then call." ”

Hearing his son's analogy, Zhi Kexing couldn't help but smile slightly.

There is a pox hanging in front of him, coupled with Han Gang's prestige, I believe that this dry divination person will never dare to disobey Han Gang's orders.

And he has 8,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, which is enough to hold Shenwu County. Several key points in the surrounding area were occupied, and on this basis, it was a highly feasible plan to attack Shuozhou in the north and then attack Taiyuan.
