Hebei Road, Guiyi City.

Tao Dayong reined in his horse and stood up, his armor was stained with blood, and Mingguang Kai, who was already scarred, had a few new knife marks today.

With a bang, he inserted the iron gun in his hand into the ground. Tao Dayong lowered his head, stretched out his hand to touch the new gap on Kaijia, and sighed: "I am old, after all, I am still ten years younger, no,

If you are only five years old, how can you let that kid chop me with these knives?"

The little boy Tao Dayong is talking about is a young centurion in the Liao army. Judging from his appearance, he must not be more than twenty years old, but he is extremely brave. The wounds on Tao Dayong's armor are all

What this guy added not only broke the armor, but the blade also broke the flesh. Although it was only a minor injury, it was still shocking to see.

"Deputy Commander, how old are you? That kid was slapped by you and vomited blood. The few times he slashed you were just skin wounds. He can recover in a few days at most. Give him the barrel of the gun.

He's a real man, he won't even think about setting foot on the battlefield again within a month or two!" Inspector Zhang Yi choked back his sword and sheathed it, and said with a smile.

"Ashamed, I bullied that little brat for his lack of battlefield experience! If I really gave it a try, I couldn't beat him." Tao Dayong sighed: "After all, time is not forgiving! The young ones have all risen up. Look at this time

Most of the Liao army commanders who attacked Guiyi City were no more than thirty years old, Zhang Yi, this is not a good thing for us."

A large number of young generals in the Liao Army have already gone to the front line to lead the troops in battle, but in the Song Dynasty, there are only a handful of young generals. Tao Dayong thought about it carefully, and found that except for one Xiao Ding who shined, there were not many young generals.

Find another person who can compare with his beauty.

After Lin Ping returned from Bianliang, the Song army on the Hebei Road began to withdraw across the Juma River on a large scale and gave up the occupied land. In this battle, Cui Ang gained fame and fortune.

Although the army retreated, tens of thousands of people from the Song Dynasty who had been plundered by the Liao army over the years were rescued. In order to make his reputation better on Hebei Road, Cui Ang did not hesitate to resettle these people.

Among the refugees who returned, Cui Qingtian's reputation suddenly spread across the land of Hebei.

This made Xia Jie very angry. Because of such a thing, he did not dare to interfere. As a transport envoy, he could only cooperate with Cui Ang to raise materials from all directions to resettle these refugees who were returning home.

.

In a fit of anger, Xia Jie simply called it a day and went on strike, leaving everything to his confidant Xu Hong, out of sight and out of mind.

But on the Hebei Road, the war did not end.

Due to the strong demands of the officials, Guiyi City was still in the hands of the Song army.

Tao Datong's Dingwu Army was stationed in Guiyi City.

As other armies withdrew across the Juma River, all pressure fell on Guiyi City.

Tao Dayong was promoted from commander to deputy commander.

But of the 2,500 Dingwu troops, there are now less than 2,000 left.

After riding back, the drawbridge was lowered, and the cheers in the city grew louder and louder, welcoming the return of the robes who had gone out to fight in the city.

They defeated the invading Liao army again.

"Today, as a reward to the whole army, everyone can have a bowl of wine!" Tao Dayong, who stepped into the city, could no longer see the worries outside the city. His face was red, waving his arms, and shouted to all the soldiers.

The city was filled with thunderous cheers.

As a special request from the officials, the current Guiyi City is naturally a face-saving project of the Song Dynasty. The guarantee of supplies and weapons is first-class. As long as Tao Dayong wants it, he will have to do everything possible to give it to him later.

send over.

It is precisely because of this that the city of Guiyi has remained intact to this day, and the people of Liao Dynasty sighed when they looked at the city.

After walking into the city gate building and sitting on the bench, the soldiers were busy helping Tao Dayong and Zhang Yi take off their armor. The doctor was already waiting aside and saw the scars on the two men's bodies, although they were not fatal.

, but it was a bit more than the previous few days.

The two men did not change their expressions. They took the warm wine handed over by the soldiers, drank it, and discussed the war.

"Zhang Yi, have you noticed that the Liao army has changed another unit today, and it is not the same unit from the past few days." Tao Dayong said.

"I saw it. This one is much more fierce than the ones from the past few days." Zhang Yidao. "The silk... be lighter, ancestor, be lighter."

"Last time it was Fangxian's leader, today it's Anci's." Tao Dayong said: "Can you see anything?"

Zhang Yi smiled bitterly: "Why can't you see it? Yelujun is so stupid that he will use us to train troops again. Every once in a while, he will change the number of troops. From last year to this year, there are seven or eight more troops, right?"

Tao Dayong nodded and said: "Except for us, all the armies of our Emperor Song Dynasty have withdrawn across the Juma River, but Yelujun did not disband the troops he had assembled. He is sharpening his sword through us.

What worries me is that he is taking this opportunity to integrate the troops on the Nanjing Road."

Although you are the king of Qishui County, the characteristics of the Liao Kingdom are like this. Whether it is the military state above or the local Han nobles, they all have great autonomy. They only need to provide help when the Liao royal court calls for replacement.

That's fine. Usually, the Liao court rarely pays attention to them.

This governance system destined them to claim to be a unit, but in essence, they were a loose alliance. The Liao court's biggest reliance in controlling them was their more powerful palace branch army, the Pishi Army.

Yelujun is consciously integrating. If he can really combine all the forces on the Nanjing Road, the threat to the Song Dynasty will be great.

Tao Dayong has been guarding the border for decades. He has worked his way from a small soldier to the current deputy commander. He has an extremely thorough understanding of the Liao people. This is what he is most worried about now.

"Deputy Commander, we are leaving!" Zhang Yi chuckled, "Don't worry about it. In ten days, the Japanese army will come, and we will hand over a complete Guiyi City to them, and then,

Let's go to Bianliang to enjoy the blessings. Your position will definitely be promoted to a higher level. A commander cannot escape. If they have a conscience, they can command all the commanders. You are also qualified."

Speaking of this, Tao Dayong felt a little disappointed.

He has been wandering around the border all his life. He has only been to Bianliang City twice, and they were both for military affairs. He came and went in a hurry. Thinking about it this time, he will be stationed there forever. He doesn't know if there will be a chance.

Back to the border? And is Bianliang really suitable for people like them?

But he could only keep these thoughts in his heart. The soldiers under his command were all excited! They were all looking forward to going to Bianliang to see something!

"I used to look at Xiao Ding, but I didn't like him no matter what. Even if I knew he was really capable, I still didn't like him!" Zhang Yi, who had been bandaged, put on his underwear, stood up, and said, "But this time

I was very happy to pick one hundred out of ten in Shanglinyuan. It really earned face for our imperial troops guarding the border areas, and also gave us the opportunity to rotate. But this guy went to the northwest again. I don’t know why.

Sample?"

"You don't have to worry about him. No matter where he goes, he will be a man of the hour!" Speaking of Xiao Ding, Tao Dayong felt a little sour. He was even older than him, but Xiao Ding is now the commander.

And I am still a deputy.

Speaking of merit, am I younger than Xiao Ding?

of course not.

It's just that there is no one behind me.

"Three days ago, His Highness King Jing sent someone over and said that the resettlement locations for the families of the Dingwu Army have been planned. The closest land to Bianliang City is ten miles away, and the farthest land is only thirty miles away. They are all of good quality.

"The fields." Tao Dayong said: "The houses are almost built. Let's go and buy some household items. Please arrange it. We still need to bring more big animals. Big animals are more expensive in the south!"

"Don't worry, Qin Huang has been busy with these things. He has always been in charge of logistics, and he is better than us!" Zhang Yi said with a smile. "I hope that in the past ten days, the Liao people will not come to attack again.

We will be beaten to death, let us have a good rest. But we are just a little worried. You said that the Japanese army is coming, can we hold Guiyi City?"

"They came with five thousand people." Tao Dayong said with a smile: "We held it with less than two thousand people. How can there be no reason why they can't hold it with five thousand people? Don't think it's easy for Xiao Ding to beat them. In fact, it's not easy.

It’s going to be that bad.”

"Yes." Zhang Yidao. "But deputy commander, to be honest, I think there is really no need to defend Guiyi City. An isolated city will only increase casualties and is of little significance!"

"If the officials want to defend, then they have to defend!" Tao Dayong said. "Once the imperial court launches a large-scale attack, it will be very different if Guiyi City is in its hands. There is a fulcrum, and the army can cross the river whenever they want.

, without this fulcrum, the difficulty will increase exponentially. As long as we are still defending Guiyi City, it means that the imperial court's policy towards the Liao Dynasty is still based on toughness."

"Understood!" Zhang Yidao: "We are leaving anyway, so we don't have to worry about it. Deputy Commander, let's go and have a drink."

Tao Dayong and Zhang Yi, who were drinking, probably never imagined that the Yelujun they were holding in their mouths at this moment was in Fan Yang, which could be said to be a stone's throw away from Guiyi City where they were.

"Is Tao Dayong going to leave in ten days?" Yelujun, who was lying on the bed, smiled and said: "Then let's not disturb others in these ten days. If we go there, some people will die, and there will be many more.

Is the threat in Bianliang smaller? Now he should have nearly two thousand people. Let's let them go to Bianliang intact to serve as help to their King Jing, hahaha! Ten days of rest, ten days of rest

, let’s go again when their Japanese-praising army arrives.”

Using Guiyi City to train troops is secondary. Yelujun is now following the idea given to him by Lin Jing and using the war in Guiyi City to integrate the entire Nanjing Road step by step.
