Chapter 103 Song-Liao War (1)
The new emperor was overjoyed, stood on the high platform, shouted to the civil and military officials and the 200,000 army: "I hereby announce that I have granted the national army the general and the title of King of Qi, and all the people in our Song Dynasty are under their control.
In addition, during the process of conquering Liao, soldiers who did not obey the general's orders were allowed to be punished by the general."
This order means that Wu Tian had the power of life and death in all the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, with one person being less than ten thousand people.
The new emperor gave him three glasses of wine and went back with Zuo Xiang.
Wu Tian immediately ordered his troops to go out to fight.
...
The army left Tokyo City, marched for three days, and arrived at the Yellow River to station.
That night, Wu Tian summoned Wu Yong, Lin Chong and other leaders to discuss military information.
Dai Zong said: "Brother Wu Tian, last night, I crossed the Yellow River to the other side of the river to inquire. Shenxian County has been captured by the Liao army's vanguard Liu Feng. Now the Liao army is stationed on the other side of the Yellow River."
As soon as these words were said, Li Jun stood up and bowed to Wu Tian.
"Brother Wu Tian, we are good at water warfare. Please allow us to lead the navy to fight and build a road for the army."
Wu Tian looked at Wu Yong.
Wu Yong said: "The Liao army came in a fierce momentum and broke through three passes in a row, which made the people of the Song Dynasty panic. We now urgently need a victory to stabilize the situation, and to stabilize the morale of the army, and to establish the reputation of our Liangshan, it will shock the Liao army."
Wu Tian nodded and immediately ordered: "Three Ruan brothers, Li Jun, I order you to lead 10,000 naval troops to smuggle the Yellow River while the night is dark and attack the Liao army on the other side.
You must seize a stall so that the army can successfully pass the Yellow River!"
"Don't worry, brother, let's leave this matter to us."
Li Jun and the three Ruan brothers happily led their troops away.
After they left, Wu Yong continued: "Although the sneak attack on the Liao army has achieved temporary victory, if we want to truly and completely defeat the Liao army, we still need to be strong enough.
At present, the Liao army has 400,000, most of them are strong soldiers who are not dressed in armor and have been scattered on the battlefield for many years.
Our army, in addition to our own 100,000 Liangshan Army, although the 200,000 army of the imperial court is fully equipped, they are negligent in training and may cause chaos when fighting."
Wu Tian nodded slightly.
"I'm also worried about this, but the current situation is not much time left for us."
"Brother, I have a solution."
Lu Junyi stood up at this time and bowed to Wu Tian to interfere.
Wu Tian: "Brother Lu, please tell me what kind of way do you have?"
Lu Junyi said: "We can leave 50,000 Liangshan troops as reserve teams to prevent emergencies.
The remaining 50,000 troops were scattered into the 200,000 Song troops for one-on-one training, which could strengthen the combat effectiveness of the 200,000 Song troops."
"How long do you think it will take to train the 200,000 Song troops?"
Lu Junyi said: "You can go to the battlefield in about one or two months."
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Okay, after we take down Shenxian County, we will leave this matter to you.
Among the Liangshan brothers, dispatch anyone to help you!”
Lu Junyi didn't expect Wu Tian to trust him so much, so he immediately fell to his knees and kowtowed: "Brother Xie trusts you."
Wu Tian quickly got up and helped Lu Junyi up, and smiled and said, "Brother, you're polite."
After the discussion that night, they went back to rest.
At dawn, Hua Rong came in to report to Wu Tian who had just woken up: "Brother, good news!
The three Ruan clans and Li Jun should have successfully crossed the Yellow River, destroyed 5,000 Liao troops, and occupied the Caishiji Ferry.
