On June 20, the first year of Tianyou, the three armies of Feixiong, Yingui and Yinan crossed the river from Liyangjin and arrived at the north bank.

At the same time, the departments that returned to the resident to rest and recuperate also received transfer orders.

General Tu crossed the river from the Sun Floating Bridge, then walked eastward and left Zhuguan, and has now arrived at Xiuwu.

The Wuwei army crossed the river from Sozuojin, passed Ji County, and arrived in Wei County.

The right wing of Tianxiong Army was already stationed in Gongcheng.

At the same time, the summer collection of Heyang, Xuanwu and Dongdu towns was completed, and hundreds of thousands of people were conscripted and transported materials.

The prepared equipment and newly harvested millet and wheat were transported to the front line by water or by land.

For a time, the river was crowded with people and military flags were flying. Almost all production activities stagnated, and everyone was serving the war.

For the people of Henan, the last time such a large-scale military operation was during the Xia and Liang tug-of-war.

"I haven't mobilized more than 100,000 troops for a long time. This feeling is really fascinating." Shao Shude stood at the head of Liyang County and looked at the troops traveling eastward on the boundless field, feeling deeply moved.

Obviously, he could not see all the troops. More than 100,000 troops could not march along a post road, but the movements of each unit were imprinted in his mind, which was extremely clear.

The Strategic Army is currently mainly stationed in Xiangzhou, coping with pressure from both north and east.

After receiving the news of the arrival of reinforcements, the remaining troops went north and planned to forcibly cross the water and attack Cizhou.

Xiaojie Army was stationed in Weizhou to defend the cities on the right side.

Shao Shude was correct to let Xiaojiejun switch the left and right wings. Hezhong Wufu defended the city and had no friendship with the Wei soldiers, so it was difficult to be instigated, which ensured the safety of Weizhou.

"Your Highness, Sikong, Yang Li is here." Li Yixian reported.

"Let them come here." Shao Shude sat back on the tiger-skin chair and said.

"Wait, let Yang Li come first." Shao Shude thought for a while and ordered.

"As for the order." Li Yixian hurried away.

After Luo Shaowei ascended the throne, the old men of Wei Bo from the previous generation faded away one after another, and newcomers like Sikong and Yang Li began to take over and gain great power. Of course, only civil servants, the military leaders could not move, and he did not have the ability.

Sikong and Xia Jun had some unclear relationship, but he did not surrender completely. He was very clear about this. Shao Shude was very clear about this.

Yang Li is a typical official who stands in Wei Bo's position. The family and martial arts are married and have been rooted for generations. They may be willing to please you and flatter you for a few words, but everything he does is for the benefit of the family.

"See King Xia." Yang Li hurriedly climbed to the top of Liyang City and bowed.

Shao Shude sat steadily on the chair.

The straight silver saddle warrior lined up left and right, and his eyes were all on Yang Li, which made him feel very stressed.

"Yang Zhangji is a talented person." Shao Shude smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

"Can Your Highness retreat?" Yang Li looked at Shao Shude with a bright look and asked.

"Isn't your army in full momentum? Why? I was scared when I saw Yang Xingmi defeated?" Shao Shude asked.

"Ship Luo was forced to do so." Yang Li cried out: "Wei Bo's 100,000 elite soldiers were full of emotions, and they all expressed their desire to avenge them. In this situation, Luo Luo could not disobey."

Shao Shude laughed when he heard this.

Wei, Bo, Chan and Bei still have more than 2 million people. According to Shao Shude's standard for raising soldiers, he can indeed raise 100,000 yamen soldiers. Moreover, Wei Bo is more wealthy, and can raise 150,000, but Shao Shude thinks that Luo Shaowei is The financial situation is mostly difficult, and 80,000 soldiers are killed.

"Since that's the case, it's useless for me to withdraw. Luo Shaowei said something, but if the dog doesn't listen, he still needs to beat him." He stopped his smile and said expressionlessly.

Yang Li was furious when he heard this. Shao Zhe spoke arrogantly, and he was a vulgar martial artist. But he still calmed down and said, "I heard that the emperor has arrived in Luoyang and Weizhou, and I know your noble's intentions. If you stop the army, I am willing to serve you.

If you give a large sum of money, your highness will be satisfied. In addition, when your highness is taking on major events, it is not enough for only court officials to express their opinions. Luo Shuai is willing to express his opinions as a foreign vassal to persuade him to advance and always be a minister of the new dynasty."

"These words have been said last time, why don't you give up?" Shao Shude said: "After I founded the country, can Luo Shaowei be willing to enter the court? Can the Wei soldiers be willing to travel far north of the Jibei region, the Western Regions, and conquer the Khitan? Uighurs?"

Yang Li said nothing. The fundamental contradictions cannot be reconciled, and the final peace efforts failed and there is nothing to say.

"Luo Shaowei is not a good thing either." Shao Shude sneered and said, "Chengde, Cangjing, Hedong have sent troops to help, but he himself wants to retreat. Is this personnel matter? You go and let Si Kongfeng come over

.”

Yang Li took a deep breath, saluted and retreated. After a while, Sikong was led by the sergeant.

"Although the two armies are fighting and they are not killed, I am very disappointed when you are so lazy that I have assigned you, Sikong Sima." Shao Shude looked at Sikong and said with a smile.

Sikong Zheng repeatedly accused him of crimes.

"Yang Li said a lot of nonsense just now, and I felt annoyed. They were all martial artists, so they fought, mother-in-law and mother, talking nonsense." Shao Shude said: "I guess what I want to say is similar to him, it's not interesting.

.”

Sikong smiled bitterly.

"Sikong Sima, our army went to Songmo last year and won a lot of money. Among them were the things that were rewarded by the Khitan during the Xuanzong period. I felt a lot of emotion after seeing it. After I attacked Hebei, I would definitely go out of Linyu Pass and go to Huangshui to watch the fish.

.” Shao Shude said again: "You have great talents and spend your whole life in such a small place as Weizhou?"

Sikong looked moved and sighed.

"How many soldiers and horses are Luo Shaowei?" Shao Shude asked casually.

After a moment of silence, Sikong said, "There are more than 50,000, but there are less than 60,000."

"Why are there so few?"

"Last year, Luo Shuai borrowed a lot of money from the east of the city to get the reward, so he didn't dare to raise more soldiers."

"Where is the division?" Shao Shude asked again.

"The main force is in Wei, Chan and Bozhou." Sikong also took the initiative and said everything.

Shao Shude's mouth raised slightly and said, "There is a Boling Cui family house in Jishanfang, which is very wide and has been renovated and kept for you."

"Thank you for your reward." Sikong Feng's face was not very good, and he looked worried.

At first he was Luo Shuai's man, but later he gradually became a fence-skinned man. Now, he feels a little sad about his conscience.

*******

In Neihuang County, Weizhou, soldiers ran around endlessly.

“When will the reward be given?”

"It's been delayed for a month, where is the reward?"

"I said it well before the war, where is the money?"

Faced with the clamor of the soldiers, Wang Yuanwu, the commander of the Liuxiong Army, was also a little afraid.

He has been familiar with military books since he was a child, practiced martial arts hard, dared to fight and fight, and had strategies. He was a very good general. But when he faced the soldiers invited to reward, he felt really frustrated.

"Sir Luo has raised money and will be sent soon." Wang Yuanwu said loudly: "Each person has two shreds of money and one piece of silk. The officers are from the soldiers and horses, and each gives horses and camels.

What's the point? This time it's not all about rewarding money. Shao Zhe wants to take away the family inheritance business. Even if he doesn't have the reward, he should fight hard."

"Is there any money?"

"I've tried it. Xia Zhe was beaten like a dog by us, so I'll send money."

"Send money once, fight for your life!"

The sergeants were still clamoring.

"If the money does not come within five days, I will punish you to thank you all." Wang Yuanwu shouted: "Why do you doubt it?"

Seeing the military commander say this, the public sentiment is a little slow.

"After I send the reward, if you gather and clamor and attack the government office, I will no longer be ruthless." Wang Yuanwu said: "The scout came to report that the Xia bandits rushed to Weizhou. The war was about to break out, so we can't mess around anymore.

”

"The king will say this, I will believe it."

"After sending the money, you should obey the order. If anyone dares to clamor, he should be punished and killed. We will be fined."

"Hurry up and send it. After getting the money, Dutou ordered to attack. While Xia Zhe has not yet gained a foothold, he will fight first."

Everyone talked and kept talking. Wang Yuanwu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "After the reinforcements of the troops came up, they would fight the Xia thieves. Shao thieves split our vassal state, and their hearts were vicious. Today they could split the prime ministers,

Tomorrow, Bobei will be broken up. The six states will be separated, so we can only let them knead. After the Prime Minister took it back, he attacked Meng Huai and robbed him of a vote."

When the soldiers of the Six Heroes heard this, they burst into laughter and their morale was high.

Yin Xingfang, deputy envoy of military commander, quietly walked to Wang Yuanwu, pulled his sleeves, and whispered: "Li Keyong has arrived in Xingzhou and killed more than 20 military academy."

"Huh?" Wang Yuanwu was shocked and asked, "Why are you so harsh?"

"Rumors are everywhere in the army, which affects morale, so I have to do so." Yin Xingfang said.

After saying that, he briefly explained the Long Dizhi.

Wang Yuanwu immediately understood. In fact, he knew about this, but he didn't remember it for a while.

This is indeed Li Keyong's style. He is loved by martial artists when he is easy to talk, but when he is angry, he refuses to recognize his relatives and kills him as soon as he says he is very cruel.

"If Ke Yong comes, there is still something to do." Wang Yuanwu said casually, then remembered something again and asked, "Zhao Bing, did Cang Bing set off?"

"It should have already set off." Yin Xingfang said.

"If there is a big battle, they don't have to go to the scene. I'm worried about the bad things of these people." Wang Yuanwu said.

Of course, Chengde soldiers have combat effectiveness, but it depends on whether these old men are willing to fight well. Now they are here to assist in the boxing under the order of the Jiedushi Wang Rongzhi, not guarding the town.

Zhao people helped boxing, and I dare not accept this "blessing". In the past, in the battle of Lu County, tens of thousands of troops in Xia and Jin fought in an array, and it was these turtle grandsons who ran away first and killed everyone.

"It's better to let them guard the Yellow River Ferry and replace the left and right Shanhe Army. If a great war broke out with the Xia thieves, there would be an additional strong army to use." Yin Xingfang suggested.

"Okay." Wang Yuanwu thought about it and agreed.

Liuxiong, Shanhe and Two Army more than 20,000 infantry and cavalry, are considered to be the most capable main force among Weibo Town soldiers. They stationed along the Yongji Canal to block this best route of march. If the Xia thieves come in large numbers, they will

This battle with him, dragging the main force of the thief army and creating opportunities for Li Keyong.

The problem now is that only knows that the Xia thieves have come to reinforcements, but they don’t know how many. If the Shao thief transferred all the troops attacking Yang Xingmi in the south, then this battle would be really hard to fight. It is hard to say that they can still defend themselves.
