The people around him listened blankly to the order, and then the slender prince Tuoli of Ximengu was lifted up with the help of several Banzhi, and went to touch the wooden beam on the top of the thatched hut pointed by Zhao Guan's family. Sure enough, he found something, but unexpectedly

It's a small cloth bag.

When I opened it, I found a few grains of silver and seventy or eighty copper coins.

Zhao Jiu opened his pocket and turned to Yang Yizhong like a debt collector. The latter understood, and immediately took out a few copper coins from his waist and put them in... Lu Yihao originally wanted to give advice to officials, and a monarch should do this.

It’s better to spend more time on big things instead of doing meaningless little things.

But thinking about what I just said, "He who is capable but not chastised will win." In addition, Zhao Guan's family may have seen the tense atmosphere and pretended to be calm, but they didn't want to make such a statement, so they simply took it from a banzhi.

Take out a penny and put it in the bag.

People around me followed suit and hurriedly put money inside.

After a while, Zhao Guan's family collected dozens of money for the shed owner who was probably taken away to serve as a corvee, and then asked Tuoli to go up again and hide the bag, and then led everyone on the road back to Mang Mountain.

.

However, what this official didn't know was that just when he was pretending to be benevolent and pretending to be calm, he was criticized over there for being "complacent in taking credit, perfunctory in military affairs, afraid of the current situation, wandering in the forest, thinking about retreat and seeking perfection, and dancing around in writing".

Why didn't Zhao Guanjia come and see that Han Shizhong, who was suffering from ailments and unable to function, had already ended the battle long ago.

The combat process was lackluster.

The bridgehead of Hedong, the flat land several miles wide from Hedong City, the capital of Hezhong Prefecture, to Pujin, Hu Yantong put on a cautious look on the beach, formed an array, and then moved forward.

As soon as they left the beach, the four Meng'an who were hiding behind the city couldn't bear it anymore and immediately laid out the typical formation of the Jin army. The infantry in the middle came up to meet them, and the cavalry on the left and right came forward one after another to attack.

They didn't notice anything strange at first, but they just felt that the formation of this early Song army was dense, and they were afraid it would take some time and energy to swallow it.

So they specially divided their troops and went to the beach to stop the Song army that was advancing later.

However, he never expected that what came ashore immediately was the famous army that destroyed the enemy forces. The dense crossbow bolts were fired from the boat, giving no opportunity for the Jin army to attack, so that the second army was easily defeated.

Set up a formation in front of the river beach.

At this time, Jin Jun was already a little nervous, and two of the four men who made the decision began to try to discuss, but the result of the discussion was some hesitation... Because Wen Dunsizhong is a bastard, and I'm afraid he will be punished if he goes back like this, so why not

Just keep fooling around for a while, no matter what happens or not, and leave when the time comes.

After such hesitation, Cheng Min, who was the third shooter, led the Wei army cavalry on his back and landed calmly under the cover of the destroying army and the Huyantong Department. Then he and the Jin army cavalry directly staggered each other on the river beach.

It would be difficult for the army to leave.

Frankly speaking, the Jin Army had four strong troops and twenty-five Mou Ke, that is, 2,500 cavalry and 1,500 infantry. This configuration was already very powerful. The Song Army's cavalry arrived in a hurry.

So at the beginning, the four Meng'an were still a little confused and even secretly happy.

I always felt that compared with those spears and crossbows, it would be easier for this cavalry, who wanted to bite their own troops at all costs, to achieve victory, and then hand over to Wen Dun Sizhong.

However, Han Shizhong's Beiwei cavalry may be more powerful than Yue Fei's Beiwei cavalry, especially since Han Shizhong personally led hundreds of personal guards to join them.

The Jin army soon realized that something was wrong, and realized that they had bitten the fishhook... It was impossible not to discover it, because this Song army cavalry who dared to cross the river to bite the Jurchen cavalry of the Jin Kingdom in a melee, equipped

He is better than his own family, his war horses are better than his own, and even his knight's equestrian skills are better than his own.

At this time, this group of people looked back at the copper-faced shields that they had disapproved of before, but now they seemed to be warning and joking, and they just woke up from a dream.

What kind of leopard guts did I eat to get 4,000 soldiers, including only 2,500 real traditional Jurchen cavalry, to come to the wilderness to fight against the 40,000 Han army?

But it was too late. From the city down to the wild fields between the rivers, the Wei army spread out to bite the Jin army's cavalry, then destroyed the partial army and advanced calmly from behind. The Huyantong troops stood firm and motionless. At the same time, Wang Shengda

The left army of the imperial camp was sent to cross the river in order, so that the number of Song troops increased, bronze-faced soldiers were everywhere, and the scene became more and more terrifying.

After fighting for about half an hour, seeing that Wen Dunsizhong in the city had no intention of sending reinforcements to rescue, the 4,000 Jin army was completely defeated, almost all the 1,500 Han soldiers surrendered, and the 2,500 Jurchen knights scattered in all directions.

Of course, it is impossible to try to enter Hedong City... but a small number of people directly escaped into the early winter wilderness, and more of them went to their respective stations according to their instincts... Although Hedong City is very large, it is impossible to fill it with 10,000 horsemen on weekdays.

These soldiers and horses are usually stationed in military camps and branch cities around Hedong City, even facing Jin in the north and Yuxiang in the east.

In this regard, it is natural that the Song Army's cavalry, which had been prepared in advance, purposefully followed the tactics and followed them.

In a daze, a beachhead blocking battle, or the originally planned demonstration battle came to an end quickly, and the Jin army was defeated.

Of course, the Song Army didn't take this seriously, because it was the elite left army of the imperial camp who rushed to cross the river to defeat the partial army and carried the Wei army on their backs. These two armies with the same lifeblood as the left army of the imperial camp went into battle, and even Hanjun

The king himself also went into battle... In such a chaotic battle involving thousands of people, whenever Han Shizhong went to battle, there would be no one who would not be able to defeat the enemy.

It would be strange not to win.

Of course, some people still find it difficult to accept.

For example, Wen Dun Sizhong, who was left behind in the river, was a frontline traveler of Aguda. He had always been arrogant, both internally and externally, but it was obvious that he was especially arrogant towards the Khitans and Song people. This arrogance also followed the Song army's advance in Hedong in the previous few years.

The city repeatedly ran into walls and turned back, making it more exposed and obvious.

In fact, even within the Jin Kingdom, few people regarded him as a normal person... that is, Arrogance, who had taken a fancy to him, knew that this person disdained the Song Army and would never waver, so he arranged to stay in Hezhong.

Wushu, the fourth prince, personally told him that every time the Song army came, he should stand guard and wait for reinforcements.

So every time he could see tens of thousands of Song troops retreating in an orderly manner under the command of Li Yanxian, leaving without a fight.

But today, I saw four Meng'an and twenty-five Mou Ke. In the past, they could have dispersed the Song Army's 100,000 troops. However, they were swallowed up by the Song Army across the river with their claws exposed.

But he lost his mind on the spot.

It’s not that no one wants to persuade this person to stay behind in Hezhong. One moment and another... In Yaoshan, one against two could not be defeated. It has been five years since Yaoshan. Not to mention one against one, it is still one against two.

, the Song army has 40,000, you have 4,000... Although the other party's cavalry attacked our side first and did not respond, I am afraid that they will be bitten and take down Yuxiang and Linjin. That is indeed a trap, but is it possible that one

Did you really expect victory from the beginning?

No matter how arrogant you are, looking at the overall situation of the confrontation between the North and the South, you must feel a little bit wrong?

At this time, we should think more carefully, why did the Song army suddenly risk their lives? Why did Han Shizhong's imperial left army only leave a few supporting troops and cross the river with almost no care? It seems that this is a posture that wants the entire army to cross the river!

Did something happen?

But why didn't anyone tell Hezhong Mansion?

Did the people in Taiyuan have some intentions in not telling Hezhong Mansion?

However, no one dares to say this.

Because Wen Dun Sizhong is a real villain, and if you make him unhappy, you will really die.

Moreover, everyone believed that this person had some faults, but he also had a talent. With his gentle and loyal talent, he must have thought of these questions a long time ago and even came up with the answers.

"Inappropriate."

Han Shizhong took off the copper plate, put down his bag, sat on his horse, looked at the generals, and frowned. "It has only been a few years, and the Jin army can't help but fight like this?"

"When the prince goes to battle, he will be captured easily." Wang Shixiong, who saw blood for the first time in battle, quickly praised him sincerely... Although he had already secretly given in to Han Shizhong in normal fights, but when he actually went into battle, he realized that this was not the same as the usual test of strength and martial arts.

Something happened.

The King of Han Commandery usually boasts of being "one in the world", and the official conferment of "unparalleled in the world" is really not just a rumor.

"That's not what I meant." Han Shizhong shook his head and became more serious. "The Jurchens are really not as good as in previous years... I don't know how many of them are old soldiers and how many are new..."

"They are quite capable of fighting." Deputy Commander Xie Yuan came over, causing Wang Shixiong to immediately get out of the way. "Brother, think about it, we are dispatching the back Wei army to destroy the side army, and we have several times more troops to join the battle.

, but they were able to struggle with us for more than half an hour. Counting the time during the previous flanking attack on Huyan, it was a full hour or two... Isn't this enough to fight? It's just that they don't know that we are going to use all our strength and underestimate the enemy.

It’s just that you’re caught in a net... This kind of example is just a mouthful.”

"That's not what you mean." Han Shizhong shook his head and sighed. "I mean, this Jurchen can finally fight one against one, one against two. It is no longer invincible in the past, when a dozen people scattered thousands of people in Hebei.

I looked like a Xiangjun. At that time, I was naturally not afraid, but others could not count on it at all. And to put it this way, the Northern Expedition could not really wipe out the two rivers in one fell swoop and return to the homeland in one battle. I could really

He has earned a reputation both before and after his death."

Jie Yuan was silent for a moment, and Wang Shixiong next to him was also startled. Although these two people knew what a 'name before and after death' was, the idea came to them at the same time - how dare they love themselves, the King of Han County, at first.

Don’t you think the Northern Expedition can be accomplished?

"There is still something wrong." Han Shizhong finished sighing, still frowning. "Why does Wen Dun Sizhong despise me so much? Look at his arrangement, throwing out four fierce An at once, do you really think he can take a bite of my flesh? Could it be that he can take a bite out of me?"

Do you think I will not even send the entire army like in previous years? Doesn’t he know that a large-scale war has begun?"

"It must be so." Jie Yuan turned around and looked at the head of the city east of the river. It can be imagined that the Jin Kingdom guard in the river must be lost in the city at this time.

"Then that makes sense." Han Shizhong thought thoughtfully. "This person doesn't know that our officials are launching a large-scale Northern Expedition. Li Yanxian's guy is nowhere to be seen...either Taiyuan doesn't know about it, or Taiyuan knows about it and abandons it."

Either Taiyuan has sent reinforcements so there is no need to tell him, but the Taiyuan reinforcements did not arrive in time, or they were blocked by Li Yanxian... Kindness (ziyuan), you are a kind person, don't you think so?"

"It can only be like this." Jie Yuan listened to the frivolous joke that he had not heard in decades, endured the discomfort, and tried his best to answer.

"Then do you think Hezhong Mansion is still a place where I can show my abilities?" Han Shizhong asked eagerly.

Even though Jie Yuan and Jie Shanshan asked themselves whether they had known each other for decades as a brotherly relationship with Marshal Han, he couldn't help but become completely confused at this time - before you thought that the Northern Expedition might not be successful, you were still thinking about writing poetry.

, so much so that he almost delayed crossing the river, why did he suddenly seem like a different person?

No, why do you suddenly feel like you are twenty years younger and full of curiosity about the whole world?

What did Zhao Guanjia write to you?

Is there another level of marriage? The queen is definitely from the Han family?

Suppressing all the distracting thoughts, Jie Yuan tried his best to answer: "Brother, what do you mean? Just give the order!"

"How many soldiers are there in this city?" Han Shizhong asked, pointing to Hedong City.
