"There were 150,000 officers and soldiers, divided into three groups, one entering Jezhou from Yanggu, and the other heading north from Xuzhou. The main force consisted of Qi Jiedu, led by veteran Wang Huan, and marched from the capital along the Jishui River to Yuncheng and Liangshan."

Facing everyone, Zhu Wu stood up and began to explain the enemy's march route.

Some officials unfolded the map in the lobby.

At the same time, some officials used small red flags to mark the garrison points of the Liangshan Army. The march route.

The distance.

The people from the Munitions Department stood up and provided Marching military rations were provided and granaries were set up along the way.

Then people from the Department of Health and Welfare came forward to set up several large field hospitals, rationing how many military doctors and assistants accompanied the army to treat injured soldiers. The

Ordnance Department provided how many bows, arrows, spare knives, guns, and shields , saddles, stirrups and other ordnance items.

Before the enemy arrived, Liangshan was already well prepared.

For Shi En and Shi Yong, this was a very strange way.

In their minds, fighting was The imperial court told them where to fight, and the generals led their troops to the battlefield.

The emperor and the Privy Council gave them the formation map for the battle.

Then there was a fierce battle.

Either win or lose.

The Song army lost more and won less.

Because its combat mode is really In this way.

Song Taizong began to like to teach formation diagrams to frontline generals. Song Zhenzong and Song Shenzong both had this special hobby.

Regardless of changes in the front line, terrain, enemy formations, and the situation of one's own army,.

Behind closed doors, they studied various so-called formations.

They forced the generals in front to set up formations according to the formation map.

What followed was another miserable defeat.

During the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, there was also a large formation with hundreds of thousands of people.

According to the formation map, there was no After setting up the formation, the enemy troops have already rushed over.

It’s so funny

"Judging from the map, the enemy's two partial divisions are smaller in number and are relatively weak troops. At the same time, the march route is relatively remote. Therefore, our Liangshan Army can use the water camp and a small number of partial divisions to delay and delay the enemy's partial division."

"According to the master's plan, no matter how many steps the enemy takes, he only needs to defeat his main force all the way."

"Liangshan will assemble the main force commanded by the fourteen capitals to defeat Wang Huan all the way!"

"We set out from Yuncheng, penetrated the Guangde Army along the Jishui River, and defeated the main enemy force outside Liangshan!"

"In this battle, we don’t need to engage in any surprise attacks, sneak attacks, night attacks, or strategies such as cutting off their food routes. We will use our majestic formations to strike a thunderous blow at the enemy to ensure the safety of Liangshan in the next half year. That's it"

"After the summer harvest, it will be time for our army to take the initiative and expand our territory!"

"Brothers, please listen to the military order and determine the order of attack, time of attack, route, time and place to collect ordnance and supplies, as well as supply points along the way and other matters!"

"Please give me your instructions!"

More than a dozen commanders present stood up together, clasped their fists and listened to the order.

Because it was a military meeting, everyone came with command Yang in armor.

Everyone has high morale and full of fighting spirit!

Their salaries are generous and their status is lofty. In Liangshan, The merchants and civilians of Liangshan Army are full of respect for the generals of the Liangshan Army.

They all have three thousand acres of land, and the thousand-family level is one thousand acres. With the salary income, it is already generous enough, even far exceeding that of the officials of the Song Dynasty. Normal income.

They are tied to Liangshan. Regardless of the reputation of Green Forest and the history and difficulties of the rebellion, everyone now has great respect for Wang Lun, a high sense of identification with Liangshan, and a sense of group honor...

This is It is built and promoted with every detail.

It is not a simple faction, but a team, an honor, and a future.

Not only the commander in front of you.

There are also Qianhu, deputy Qianhu, and commanders. , Dutou... ordinary soldiers.

Forming a complete closed loop.

In this group, Wang Lun did not consider that some people would disobey military orders, or would be fearful, timid, and collapse without a fight in the face of a strong enemy.

In Liangshan This is impossible for the army.

It is also impossible to pull away the troops just because one or two leaders have different ambitions. The Military Law Department, the Munitions Department, the Military Order Department, the Ordnance Department... there are too many things and shackles that can restrict the generals..

A general is a general who has talent, ability, courage, courage, and appeal. There is no need to guard against them like the Song Dynasty, but to integrate them into this group and give full play to their abilities. In front of us.

Liangshan has achieved this.

The entire hall is filled with an extremely exciting momentum.

People are no longer indifferent, but excited!

When they heard that the imperial court's 150,000 troops and Shijie Du were coming, not only were they not afraid, but It was extremely exciting!

In this atmosphere, even Shi Yong and Shi En, who had just joined, no longer had doubts and worries, but contained expectations and pride.

The two of them looked at each other.

Although they were Forced to flee.

Qiuji came to seek refuge.

But now it seems that it was the right time to seek refuge in Liangshan!

……

Compared with the grandeur of the Han Dynasty, the grandeur of the Tang Dynasty.

The imperial army of the Song Dynasty was cramped and stingy.

Song Taizu never considered expanding the palace. He always felt that Kaifeng was not suitable for the emperor's residence. He once considered moving the capital to Chang'an or Luoyang.

Chang'an has been in ruins for a long time, and Guanzhong is in ruins. Chang'an cannot be worshiped and can only be given up.

Luoyang was suitable, but Luoyang was also ruined due to the war in the late Tang Dynasty. It was considered that repairing it would require a lot of money, food and manpower, so it was given up.

Song Taizong wanted to expand the palace, but a large number of people did not want to move and strongly opposed it, so he gave up.

Only during the current Huizong period, although the palace is still small in scale, the interior is becoming more and more exquisite day by day.

The Hua Shi Gang was only part of Huizong's palace reconstruction project. Hundreds of millions of dollars had been spent, a large number of craftsmen and people were mobilized, and a lot of money was spent. It was just for Huizong to rebuild the palace and make the palace more exquisite and beautiful. The manpower and material resources spent for this, Huizong didn't care about the suffering caused.

Wang Huan, Han Baozheng, Jing Zhong and others all wore helmets and armor and followed the eunuch step by step in the palace.

It is surrounded by tall palace buildings.

The squads in front of the palace were on duty holding swords and axes, and stood in their best armor.

This environment and atmosphere give people a strong sense of oppression.

This is where the emperor lives, in the ninth heaven!

"Your Majesty’s decree!"

Wang Huan and others quickly knelt down on the stone steps of Xuanzheng Hall.

A eunuch said loudly:"I feel a little cold. You don't need to say goodbye, but if you work hard to beg the thief, the court will not hesitate to reward you!"

"The ministers and others kowtow to thank God for his grace."

Originally, I was going to say goodbye to your Majesty before setting off for the expedition.

Who knew that I would not see him again?

Wang Huan and others showed disappointment in their eyes, but they did not dare to be rude. They kowtowed respectfully and thanked them, then turned around and exited.

……

In the Xuanzheng Hall, Zhao Heng, who was wearing a futou and a red robe, was looking at a picture.

There are two prime ministers, Cai Jing and Wang Fu, Liang Shicheng who heads the Yitong Sansi Division, Li Yan who presides over the Kuotian Office in Xicheng, as well as the eunuch Tong Guan and the civil servant Cai You who are in charge of the Privy Council.

Except for Zhu Meng who presided over the Hua Shi Gang in the south, the powerful figures and top ministers of Huizong's dynasty were all on the left and right of Huizong.

Further down, there are Gao Qiu, Su Yuanjing and several other lieutenants.

Although Gao Qiu was favored, he became a Taiwei and took charge of the imperial army.

The actual power is still very far from those around Huizong.

If it weren't for today's ten-jiedu expedition, which involved military affairs, he would not be qualified to be ranked alongside those big guys.

After a long time, Zhao Ji reluctantly looked away.

"Your Majesty likes it? Liang

Shicheng said with a smile:"This is Yan Liben's authentic work. Your Majesty likes it, so my work was not in vain."" (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

"You are the only dog ​​with a heart!"

Although Zhao Ji was scolding, he was also praising.

Liang Shicheng smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes.

Cai Jing turned around and sat down, closing his eyes slightly, as if he was a leisurely old god. He was a civil prime minister, and although he also flattered Zhao Ji, he could do it. They left no traces, unlike these eunuchs who had no moral integrity.

Zhao Ji finally came to his senses and looked at Gao Qiu and Su Yuanjing. The emperor woke up and said:"Ah, I forgot, today I am summoning Shi Jiedu. Encourage them to fight hard and wipe out the Liangshan bandits as soon as possible?"

"Your Majesty," Tong Guan said calmly,"Shijie Duchen has already sent people out of the palace. Being able to enter the palace once, to see the Heavenly Tower in front of His Highness, and to look up at the Holy Face is already a special gift (bbaa). Is there any reason to be dissatisfied? There are only tens of thousands of bandits in Liangshan. How can they fight against the imperial court's 150,000 heavenly troops? Most of the Shijiedu were big thieves and bandits before, and their combat prowess was good. This time, they suffered a slight loss. Being able to wipe out the Liangshan bandits was a good thing. Lieutenant Gao asked him to use Shijiedu to conquer Wang Lun, which was really appropriate.."

Although Gao Qiu was in favor of Cai Jing and was one of Zhao Ji's confidants, his real supporter was Tong Guan. Tong Guan, the eunuch, was the leading general of the

Song Dynasty. He rose to be in charge of the Privy Council and was the main battle in the late Northern Song Dynasty. , including the Hengshan War against Xixia, the maritime alliance with the Jin Kingdom to conquer the Liao Kingdom, the attack on Youzhou, and the conquest of Fangla. These wars were actually fought under the leadership of Tong Guan. It is really incredible. In fact, this It was the eunuch system of the Song Dynasty. They could go out, lead troops, and work as officials.

But without the support of the system, they could not form a group.

They could become individual powerful ministers, but they could not form an independent force like the Tang Dynasty, and developed to the point of deposing and establishing the emperor. , to the point of supporting the army with self-respect.

The various checks and balances in the Northern Song Dynasty were still very good, but there was no truly powerful minister for more than a hundred years.

The situation in the Southern Song Dynasty was not good.

The powerful minister in the Southern Song Dynasty could be the prime minister, and also served as the Privy Council, and at the same time, Also serving as the royal envoy[]

Government, military, and imperial guards were all in his hands, and it was difficult not to become a powerful minister.

Tong Guan was an eunuch-born commander-in-chief and privy envoy, and was later granted the title of county king. He was also an anomaly among eunuchs.

His status far exceeds that of Gao Qiu, the Taiwei, and he is also Gao Qiu's real background supporter.

"Well, Tong Guan is right. Zhao Ji looked at Gao Qiu and praised him:"Gao Qing, you have done a good job. You have paid great attention to military and political affairs. I am very pleased!""

Of course Zhao Ji knew the deeper meaning of Tong Guan's words.

Most of Shijiedu and their troops were recruited from Zhao'an. If he won the battle

, he would eliminate a group of bandits who were a serious nuisance for the imperial court.

If he lost the battle, those who had been lost would be The imperial court didn't care.

Gao Qiu kowtowed to the ground and said,"I thank Heaven for your grace!""

"Nothing happens, just get up. Zhao Ji said with a smile:"If good news comes back, I will not be able to receive any more favors from you!""

"Then I will thank you in advance and ask for good words."

"Haha, Gao Qing is getting more and more popular with me."Zhao Ji smiled and had forgotten this military and national event.

Eight hundred military states, one million forbidden troops and Xiang troops.

A few bandits captured a few states, but they succeeded for a while. They would eventually be wiped out.

From the founding of the Song Dynasty to Nowadays, the Liao Kingdom invades, Xixia rises, and the south is even attacked by Annan to Yongzhou, which is Nanning. It is simply a shame. There are also uprisings such as Wang Xiaobo's one after another...

Zhao Ji's heart has long been at peace.

Just like the Fang La Uprising, countless loyal courtiers It has been reported many times that Hua Shi Gang caused civil dissatisfaction, which caused public dissatisfaction in the south of the Yangtze River, and a large number of people joined the rebel army. Did

Zhao Ji care about it?

Not at all.

Fang La and the people rebelled, and they just wanted peace!

The Song Dynasty had money and soldiers , how can you be afraid of a group of Guizhou leaders?

"Come, get the newly acquired calligraphy of Wang Xianzhi, and I and the other ministers will watch it together to determine whether it is true or false!"

This time Cai Jing also stood up. He is also a master of calligraphy, and can even be said to be a calligrapher.

Compared with Zhao Ji, who is good at thin gold calligraphy, he is no weaker in calligraphy and painting.

Everyone gathered in front of the vertical scroll and began to seriously discuss the authenticity of this calligraphy. Fake

……

"Dad, what does this announcement say?"

"Oh, Liangshan’s notice to calm the people. The officers and soldiers will attack Liangshan. We also have soldiers coming from Jeju. Liangshan has already sent troops and horses to station in the state. They are afraid that the people will panic because of the news, so there is this notice to calm the people."

"Thank you dad... damn officers and soldiers!"

"Alas, isn't it? The court can't let us people live in peace?"

"Damn it, I will fight the officers and soldiers anyway. Has Mr. Wang recruited any troops? I'm going to join the army!"

"You are almost forty, and others only want people between fifteen and thirty-five. Those above thirty usually become gang leaders."

If you are a veteran soldier, age is not a problem. If you have never been in the army before and you are older, you will really only be able to serve as a gang leader, an engineer, or an assistant to a field doctor after joining the army.

"The military pay of the Huotou Army is also high, which is much better than farming. I still want to give it a try."

"I'll go take a look, what if I can choose it?"

This notice of peace and security aroused the enthusiasm of the people in Yanggu to sign up to join the Liangshan Army.

Everyone was vaguely holding on to hope...

What if the Liangshan Army lowered its requirements because of the war?

Lifting a hundred kilograms of stone and running ten miles in two seconds, five The ten-step target is seven out of ten.

This standard really kills most of the young and strong men.

The seven states and a dozen nearby states have a population of millions, and the number of young men is at least three to four million.

The result, together with the results from far away Among the people in the green forest, Liangshan has only selected about 60,000 to 70,000 people.

The ratio of this ratio is frightening.

The Liangshan Army... here in Jingdong is equivalent to eating royal food, even more than eating royal food.

The military pay is generous, The salary was frighteningly high.

Even if he died in battle, he would have no worries. Anyone with some ambition would want to join the army.

I saw many men running to the military camp outside the city to inquire about news.

They were dressed in green cloth robes and carried a basket of pears on their arms. Brother Yun also looked excited.

He is old enough, strong enough, and can run fast. He is just not good at archery. After all, he has been selling pears in the city to make money and has no time to join the archery club in every town.

Last time he was The registration was rejected.

Maybe there is really a chance this time?

Liangshan... The king is in charge...

Brother Yun and many young and strong men nearby were pondering.

The market is getting richer and richer, there is endless food, there are many businesses, and the business is booming , business is easy to do.

Urban transportation, sanitation, public security, and education have all been greatly improved.

Brother Yun’s father is half-disabled and unable to make a living. The family relies on Brother Yun to earn some loose money from selling pears and running errands for others.

Recently. It’s getting easier and easier to make money every year, but it’s hard to live a prosperous life just by selling pears.

"I'll try it again too."

Thinking of Wu Song, Brother Wu.

Brother Yun had already made up his mind. He placed the pear basket in an acquaintance's shop and strode towards the military camp.
