"General Liu, don't you like me coming?" Wang Ju quipped after turning over and dismounting.

"Oh yes, I told Jun Wan before, it's not easy for these tens of thousands of good men to practice, if it falls into the hands of someone who doesn't understand, it would be a pity. I didn't expect Ming Gong to come, which is great. ”

"Do you think too highly of me, for you must know that the enemy is 300,000, are you not afraid?"

"Don't be afraid." Liu Changzuo and Wang Junwan patted their chests and said.

But Liu Changzuo then said: "It's just that the time is a year late." ”

Training in the era of cold weapons is different from training in the era of hot weapons, and its main requirements are that they are skilled in archers and horses, can obey commands, have a neat formation, are not afraid of death, and it is best to have a certain amount of actual combat experience. If this can be done, the commander-in-chief has a good command and the logistics can keep up, then a strong army will be formed.

But this bow horse is skilled and takes a long time to practice.

Except for a few of the tens of thousands of Baojie troops, most of the rest were newly recruited, and more of them were under construction of Zhengbai Canal in the past few years. The time for the real training camp is only a little more than a year.

In the same case, Wang Shao also trained those archers in Qinzhou, but the training period was longer, but he has not really used troops so far. Of course, there are many reasons why Wang Shao's side did not use troops, such as Yu Longke's account has not been reorganized, the city has not formed a real interest chain, and the grain, grass, money and silk are not sufficient...... However, this soldier's bow horse is not very familiar, and this is also a reason.

"Can you go to war?" Zhang Qi asked with concern on the side.

"Yes, at least better than the forbidden soldiers." Wang Jun Wandao.

"I heard that you pulled the three armies out after the autumn and suppressed the bandits in the surrounding mountains." Wang Judao.

"At the beginning, we wanted to learn from Wang Zhizhou, but we didn't expect these mountain bandits to see us coming. Fleeing from the wind is to suppress the thieves and keep the peace in all directions, but it has little effect on improving the combat effectiveness of the soldiers. ”

"That's also your command, if you change to other generals. Even if there are tens of thousands of Baojie troops and few mountain bandits, they take advantage of the vast mountains to escape, and if you advance and they retreat, and if you retreat and they advance, then they may not be able to be wiped out. ”

Just like Song Jiang. The real Song Jiang in history led thirty-six subordinates across Hebei and Shandong, and the government was helpless. That was without meeting the ruthless master, but Uncle Zhang came at night, in Haizhou (Lianyungang. However, in the Song Dynasty, half of Lianyungang was under the sea, and there was a Yuzhou Island that was half the size of Chongming Island overseas), Zhang Shuye only sent a few officers and soldiers to set up an ambush, and then captured all Song Jiang and his party.

This principle is the same, if Sima Guang is replaced to suppress the thieves, and then double the number of troops, it may not work, but for Liu Changzuo. It's just too easy.

Zhang Qi nodded on the side, Wang Ju's words were very pertinent, these bandits are not strong. It's just that they can wander around, and that's where the biggest headache is. Therefore, it is easy to drive away, but it is difficult to completely exterminate it.

However, as soon as Liu Changzuo said this, the power in his hands was basically clear.

In terms of overall strength, it is not as good as the Song army in the Battle of Dashun City that year.

That Song army is really powerful, and Wang Ju has been training for a long time. And they bought a great deal of meat, and made them strong. Then I bought a lot of armor, and there were many other rewards. All combat strength is strong. Morale is high.

Now, whether it is the soldiers of Huanqing Road, or these tens of thousands of Baojie troops, they have not yet reached that height.

However, the advantage is that Wang Ju is now more convincing, and at least 80,000 soldiers have great confidence in Wang Ju. In addition, some sharper armor was prepared, including the Divine Arm Bow. It's just that Wang Ju's face tightened slightly, because he thought of one thing, Zhao Ji canceled the change of military methods, divided the forbidden army into three parts, fixed the garrison, and then recalled the forbidden soldiers in many areas one after another, including Huanqing Road.

Of course, that happened before Wang Juda heard that the Western Xia soldiers had committed Dashun City, and Zhao Ji's recall could not be regarded as an oolong.

It is not a complete recall, this recall refers to the recall of the forbidden soldiers belonging to the southern region of Beijing and Tokyo from Shaanxi one after another, and then the forbidden soldiers from the western region of Beijing from other regions or from the capital and Luoyang, re-transferred to Shaanxi.

This is a good thing in the long run.

However, it is not a good thing at the moment, after all, many of these forbidden soldiers have just arrived at Huanqing Road, and they are not very familiar with all aspects, and they will affect the performance of combat effectiveness to some extent at that time.

I don't know how many battalion forbidden soldiers have just been rotated, and if there are too many of them, it will have some impact. How many there are, this will not be known until I arrive in Gyeongju to hand over.

Wang Ju thought for a while, and then asked, "Is there any news coming from the roads ahead?" ”

He was always on the road, so the intelligence from all walks of life on the front line could only be sent to Liu Changzuo.

"There is news from Gyeongju that Western Xia is still secretly transporting grain, but the movement is very small, but there are several other borders, and Western Xia is gathering troops one after another."

"Fortunately, ......," Zhang said.

If it weren't for Wang Ju getting the news in advance, Ten Ones* would have been confused.

Wang Ju smiled, even if he was confused, Western Xia might not be able to take Dashun City.

"Have these troops moved in the direction of White Panther City?"

"All kinds of intelligence, I haven't noticed this matter for the time being."

"It seems that the Tangut people are also going to celebrate the New Year." Wang Juchang breathed a sigh of relief.

The most feared thing about this trip is not the 300,000 enemy troops, but time. If so many troops want to march, it will take at least ten days or more, which is quite fast, for example, the Western Xia army in the direction of Lanzhou wants to march to White Leopard City, even if it is fast, it will take nearly half a month. The New Year is coming soon, and the Tangut people are not moving now, and it is not easy to move during the New Year, which will also hurt the enthusiasm of the Tangut soldiers. The time that Wang Ju was worried about was won!

The group talked all the way into the city.

Suddenly, a young girl at the door shouted, "That's Wang Minggong." ”

A middle-aged man behind her said: "Niu'er, nonsense, Ming Gong is a high-ranking official in the capital, how can he come to Sanyuan." ”

"It's Ming Gong."

The middle-aged man looked at it carefully, and also shouted, "Ming Gong, you are here." ”

Wang Ju was very low-key in this line, but he was recognized by the people, so he had to wave his hand. Hearing that Wang Ju had come to Sanyuan again, hundreds of people came out of the house and cheered.

The facts come all the way. Wang Ju has also seen the changes brought about by Zheng Baiqu, and when he left last year, there was still a lot of wasteland that had not been developed, but now it is almost impossible to see. At the same time, villages have seen many people build new houses.

So to this day, the people still miss Wang Ju.

Wang Ju was helpless. I am an official, not a star, and while waving to the people, I quickly arrived at the post station.

Zhang Qi frowned.

Wang Ju didn't notice it, and when he entered the post station, several people sat down.

Wang Ju said: "Look at the information sent from the front line of Tongguò. It was only after about a certain year that they began to assemble in the direction of the White Leopard City in Jintang City. ”

Several people bowed their heads.

Western Xia also celebrates the Spring Festival, but it is far from having a strong atmosphere of the Song Dynasty Spring Festival, the Song Dynasty said that the Spring Festival, that from Chinese New Year's Eve to the Lantern Festival. That's the end.

During this time period, including the officials in the capital, most of the time is on holiday. The border ministers and soldiers were also on vacation, and the assembly at this time was not easy for the Song Dynasty to detect. Then if you are not guarded, you may be succeeded by the Tanguts.

Wang Ju continued: "Then we still have some time to prepare, since the people of Western Xia are going to celebrate the New Year, let's also celebrate the New Year." Otherwise, the soldiers will inevitably panic. ”

"This is also the case, but Zi'an, also just in case. In order to prevent the scouts from all walks of life from not finding out clearly, the Western Xia quietly transferred the army to Dashun City, and when the time came, it was paralyzed and careless, and it was in danger. Zhang Qi said.

Although it is unlikely, it does have to be guarded against.

Wang Ju took a few steps and said, "That's it." I wrote a quick letter to Li Fugui and asked him to order Dou Shunqing and Lin Guang to garrison Dashun City. Then let Zhao Zhong garrison Rouyuan Village. ”

Dou Lin and the others have no problem, the main thing is Li Sangou. Li Sangou himself has no problem, mainly because Li Fugui, or Wang Ju's influence is small. Just like Zhao Ming, he used to be Fan Zhongyan's descendant, and as a result, no matter who knows Qingzhou, he will reuse Zhao Ming. Li Sangou is Wang Ju's descendant, but that one Gyeongju governor will give Wang Ju face. Then Li Sangou's problem comes, that is, the Fan people. But in general, Li Fugui's personality is a little stubborn, so Gyeongju fought so lively a few months ago, but I didn't see Li Fugui use Yao Ji and Li Sangou.

"Dou Lin and the others are in Dashun City, Yao Ji is in Liyuan Fort, Zhao Zhong is in Rouyuan Village, and Anjiang Fort...... "Anjiang Fort is going to let go, but the enemy can't let it go in the future, so it's better to inform the Xixia people of the plan." Therefore, a powerful general should also be stationed there.

Wang Junwan said: "I heard that the imperial court has also transferred Yanda to Gyeongju, so it is better to let Yanda garrison Anjiang Fort." ”

"Yanda, I think about it, he is not Anjiang Fort, but Huai'an Town."

It is also an extremely important fort. Since it is necessary to prevent the Tangut people from sneaking up on Gyeongju during the New Year, it is necessary to prevent the Tangut people from sneaking up on the Huanzhou Road, but they will not attack Huanju from the Huanzhou Road, because strategically speaking, it is to take Huanzhou, which poses little threat to Gyeongju, and there is Maling Mountain in between. Besides, there is a kind of ancient in Huanzhou, and he is not jealous.

The enemy could only take two roads from Huanzhou Road, Chexia Road, directly from Huai'an Town into Tongsaichuan, into the Xia realm. There is also the Guide River Road, which enters the Guide River from Hongde Village, and then enters the Xixia Shrimp Toad Ling Village. Both of these avenues can be considered avenues. Ding Han defeated Li Jiqian's battle, and it was the soldiers who left the carriage gorge. Li Jiqian returned to Tokugawa Province when Song Zhenzong was attacking the summer. However, when entering Gyeongju from Deokgawa Province, they must also pass through Huai'an Town.

If the Western Xia sneak attack from the Huanju Road, as long as the town of Huai'an is guarded, there will be no Yan zhòng crisis in Gyeongju.

Therefore, it is even more necessary to send a capable general to garrison.

As for the candidate for Anjiang Fort, Wang Ju really didn't think about it, because Wang Ju, the other generals in Gyeongju, was not familiar with him.

Liu Changzuo said: "What about Liu Yu." ”

This is also a veteran, but Wang Ju shook his head and said, "No, Liu Yan, I plan to put it in Pingrong Town." ”

It stands to reason that there is only one rugged path leading to Jintang City, which is not conducive to the march of the army, but it is difficult to say if it is to prevent a sneak attack. Although even if Pyeongjong Town is lost, even if Hwachi City is lost, it will not directly cause danger to Gyeongju. However, after Wang Ju's promotion, Huachi County has had a bumper harvest for several years and has a large amount of grain reserves. If the Tangut people successfully attacked Huachi City, not only would the Tangut obtain a large amount of grain and grass, but it would also be possible to form a two-sided attack on Liyuan Fort and Dashun City. Therefore, Pingrong Town also has to send a capable general.

Wang Junwan said: "It's really not good, let Chongyi go to guard Anjiang Fort." ”

The other generals in Gyeongju are not familiar with Wang Ju, and these people are also not familiar with each other, so they can only send Chongyi to parachute.

"Chongyi can't do it," Wang Ju shook his head, Chong Yong died in prison in an unknown way, but he sent Chongyi to guard the Gyeongju gate, what would Li Fugui think? He said again: "In this case, I will ask Yao Lin to go to Gyeongju immediately, and if Yao Lin is not familiar with Gyeongju, then let his subordinate Yao Xiong go to Anjiang Fort to assist General Yao." ”

"Guild Li won't agree?" Liu Changzuo asked.

After all, there is no handover yet.

"I didn't hand it over, and it was his responsibility that Gyeongju was wrong, and I didn't hand it over, but I made several appointments, so if something happened, it had nothing to do with him. Do you think he will agree? ”

It's just a simple officialdom child's play.

"So, it's safe." Zhang Qi said, and Yao Lin is not famous, and if he releases Anjiang Fort in the future, the Xixia people will not doubt it.

The six generals were properly arranged, so Wang Ju clapped his hands and said, "This time I have brought four new things, which may be of great help to the war." ”

"Oh, Wang Zhizhou, take it out and take a look."

"General Liu, don't know where the state is, it's still Zi'an." Wang Ju said, and then bleated at the wild dragon outside. Wild Dragon Baa Sheng pulled out a small box from his luggage...... (To be continued) R466
