Liaoyang Prefecture, Song army camp.

Guo Hao led everyone to discuss countermeasures. Judging from the actions of the Liao army, they planned to give up Chenzhou and force the Song army away from north to south.

The Song army is now stationed in Liaoyang Prefecture, and the court's 10,000 reinforcements have arrived, led by Wang Zhengzhong, but Goryeo's troops have not arrived.

"Gali always wary of the Khitan. He built many Great Walls in the north. The founding of the Song Dynasty often paid tribute. It is said that people would be sent."

Zhao Kuangyin was a little puzzled. He felt that as a vassal state, Goryeo would definitely listen to the will of the Sect Master, otherwise it would be abnormal.

However, Guo Hao found out some situations and was prepared for Goryeo to not come.

"When Wang Zhao ascended the throne, he treated his subordinates with courtesy, was wise to listen to the decision, politely care about the poor and the weak, valued elegance, and worked hard day and night to achieve peace.

However, after middle age, he believed in slander and liked to kill, believed in Buddhism, and was extravagant and unrestrained. This time, my letter of nationality was sent, and he must have been waiting for the two countries of Song and Liao to decide on their victory and defeat, and then choose an affiliate.”

Wang Zhao here, whose courtesy name is Rihua, was the fourth monarch of the Goryeo Dynasty. He was the fourth son of King Jian, the Taizu of Goryeo, Wang Wu, the Huizong of Goryeo, and the younger brother of King Yao, Dingzong of Goryeo.

"It's outrageous. Goryeo's move is clearly to watch the fire from the other side of the river and then to put down the wrong things. If our army retreats and defeats, then wouldn't Goryeo surrender to the Khitan?"

"There is a possibility, but Goryeo and Khitan have always had frictions, but our Song Dynasty has a friendly attitude. If Goryeo dares to betray this time..."

Speaking of this, Guo Hao suddenly stopped. In fact, Guo Hao was still hesitating about Goryeo's problem.

In history, the Goryeo region was never ruled by China. Emperor Yang of Sui ruled Goguryeo three times, all ended in failure.

So Guo Hao just wanted Gao Li to be obedient, and did not want to destroy him. If he was really disobedient, then don’t add any harm, otherwise Guo Hao would never ignore him.

After some discussion, Guo Hao decided to march northward to welcome the attack of the Liao army. With 30,000 Song troops and 20,000 Jurchen cavalry, he now has 50,000 troops.

The reason for the battle is also very simple. Tongzhou is the hinterland of the Huiba tribe. If the Jurchens wanted to gain a foothold, they had to drive away the Liao army.

The power of the Huiba tribe war alone was not a match for the Liao army, so Guo Hao decided to help the Jurchens together to consolidate the Jurchen territory.

The army set out, and it was already November. Guo Hao started a war with the Liao army at this time, which was still beneficial to the Song army.

However, the weather in the northeast was indeed very cold, and it suddenly started to snow again. The Song army reminded us to be prepared to keep the cold, but it was still not enough.

Seeing the snow falling, Guo Hao ordered the marching to be suspended. The army stayed in southern Shenzhou, with Shenzhou City just ahead.

"Come here, set up camps, bury pots and cook more hot soup, pay attention to keeping cold and keeping warm.

At the same time, some people were sent to cut down trees and let the craftsmen in the army make them according to my drawings. As long as you have this thing, it is very convenient to march in the snow!"

Guo Hao handed Zhao Kuangyin a drawing. Zhao Kuangyin took it and saw it. It was something that looked like a sledge.

Guo Hao painted the sled. This thing has not appeared yet, but as the snow gets heavier and it is difficult for the soldiers to march, Guo Hao can't help but start thinking.

It was inconvenient for Guo Hao to march here, and the Liao army barely rushed to Tongzhou, but it was not convenient for them to continue to move south. Their measures to keep warm were not as good as those of the Song army, so they all hid in the tent and did not dare to go out.

"The Song army must be very unacceptable to this kind of weather. If we attack at this time, the Song army will definitely be unprepared!"

Han Derang said to Yelu Xiezhen, who also agreed with Yelu Xiezhen, but they thought it was good, but there were difficulties in realizing it.

Heavy snow blocks everything. Traffic is underdeveloped these days, and it is difficult to travel in extreme weather.

The Liao army camp was silent, but the Song army camp was in full swing. Guo Hao mobilized the entire army to make sleds, and then found nearby livestock and horses.

Soon 20,000 simple sleds were completed, and Guo Hao ordered everyone to wear veils to prevent the occurrence of snow blindness.

Everything was ready and the heavy snow stopped. The Song army did not manage Chenzhou and took a detour to Tongzhou. He had the same idea as Han Derang.

With the sled, the Song army's movements were much faster, and at least the soldiers could save their physical strength and welcome the subsequent battle.

After walking on the road for two days, it started to snow again halfway. Finally, I came to Tongzhou. I explored the Malay newspaper in front of me and found the Liao army camp.

Guo Hao ordered to stop moving forward, hide in place, and select a group of people at the same time. He planned to attack the Liao army camp at night.

Because it was snowing outside, the Liao army did not expect the Song army to arrive, so there was not much precaution and he didn't even know that the Song army came.

That night, Li Hui and Wang Wei led 300 inner guards to the Liao army camp. They were all trained and had a certain light industry foundation, so there was not much sound along the way.

When the three hundred people arrived in front of the Liao army camp, Li Hui made a low-key arrangement, and the inner guards were wearing white night clothes and lying in the snow that could not be seen at all.

"Look for Liao army outposts, kill all sentries, and then act separately as planned, focusing on burning the Liao army's food and grass!"

"yes!"

The inner guards separated and were like ghosts in the dark night. They came behind the guards without knowing each other, and then wiped them cleanly.

Everyone divided the work clearly and acted quickly. They counted the time in their minds, and then started setting fires in unison!

Of course, these are all taught by Guo Hao. After watching so many TV series, he knows a little bit about the special forces combat, and the inner guards around him are all the special forces from later generations!

Fires broke out in the Liao army camp, and Li Hui and others did not want to fight at all. They set fire and evacuated immediately.

Guo Hao saw the fire in the night sky in the distance and couldn't help but sneer. In fact, he could launch an attack now, but the dim light was very unfavorable to both sides.

"Your Majesty, General Li and the others should have succeeded. We can launch an attack, catch him off guard, why are you..."

Zhao Kuangyin felt a little regretful. If it were him, he would order an attack, but Guo Hao thought more.

"We came all the way from Liaoyang Prefecture, but the soldiers didn't rest much. As if they were so angry today, the soldiers were exhausted a lot of energy. At this time, we took the initiative, so it would be better to take a good rest.

The Liao army must be frightened in this fire tonight, and we will wait for the decisive battle tomorrow morning!"

Guo Hao was so thoughtful that he even considered his mental state. When the Liao army found that the camp had caught fire, he immediately alarmed everyone.

However, the camp tents are made of cloth, so it is not that easy to extinguish. Even if some fires can be extinguished, it is difficult to fill the tent with a big hole.

It was cold outside at this time, and it was enough for the Liao army to suffer from it in one night.

"Let's go, it's too cold outside. After tonight, the Liao army is so cold that it's half dead. When we launch an attack, wouldn't it be easier to win?

When you go back and send the order, even if it is cold, you should pay attention to ventilation in the tent. It is easy to get poisoned when burning a charcoal basin, and pay attention to fire prevention at the same time!”

"yes!"

The two returned to the camp, but Li Hui returned. They just went to burn the Liao army camp, not sneak attacks. At the same time, the ignition steps were unified. They only used tinder oil in the place where food was stored.

"Your Majesty, my subordinates fulfilled their mission. We ignite the fire at the same time. They soon discovered it, but it was not that easy to extinguish it tonight."

"Okay, go and have a rest. Although the action tonight is very successful, I still have to wait for the results tomorrow."

He was speechless all night, and soon the next day, Guo Hao stood in a high place in the distance and used a telescope to check the situation of the Liao army.

I saw that the burnt tent was particularly conspicuous on the white earth. The Liao army was in action, as if it was counting supplies.

"Send the order, all the cavalry prepare to wrap the horse's hooves in cloth, target the Liao army camp, and attack at full speed!"

"Get orders!"

Wanyan Ji and Zhao Kuangyin received the order and immediately went down to summon troops. Soon 20,000 cavalrymen were selected, most of whom were Jurchens.

When 20,000 cavalry advanced, Guo Hao could clearly feel the earth shaking. The snow had weakened a little, otherwise he could hear it from a distance.

Han Derang and Yelu Xiezhen were so familiar with the sound of large numbers of cavalry. Last night, they found someone to make trouble and immediately sent someone to chase him. As a result, many footprints were found in the south.

Seeing these footprints, the two guessed that it would be the Song army. They were afraid that the Song army would attack, so they immediately became alert. They finally put out the fire and did not sleep well all night.

Now that they heard the sound, they knew that the Song army was coming, so they immediately beat the drums and summoned the soldiers and prepared to face the enemy!
