When Chao Yong arrived in Mozhou, the news that Daliang decided to fight against foreign aggression and reshape the backbone of the Han people had spread throughout Hebei. In order to obtain military merits, Jinzouyuan asked the post officials to transmit the newspapers to the prefectures day and night, and then printed them in large quantities.

.

The prefectures in Hebei were the most invaded by the Liao Kingdom. When the people heard Daliang to attack the invading Liao Kingdom, they were immediately excited. The recruitment of soldiers from various prefectures was crowded with people.

In Tokyo, Huang Qianshan was executed for treason. After Daliang erected a stone tablet outside the palace that would never be humiliated and seek peace. He would not be convicted for his words, a hot discussion started in the city.

Many students ignored the upcoming imperial examinations and reported passionate poems and articles to the residence every day. The referee also followed Chao Yong's instructions and occasionally selected a few passionate articles from the articles of the students, so that the students could publish them.

It is a matter of joining more actively to reshape the backbone of the Han people.

When they were five miles away from Mozhou, the three saw a patrol team.

Although the two countries had not yet fought, Lu Junyi did not dare to be careless at all and set up patrols from all directions to avoid being suddenly attacked by the Liao cavalry.

Chao Yong immediately asked Xue Yong to come forward to ask where Lu Junyi's camp was located.

The patrol inspected the prince's token and hurriedly assigned one person to the camp to report the news. The other person brought Chao Yong and the other to the camp.

Chao Yong could no longer ride his horse, as it would inevitably make people suspect that it was a surprise inspection of the military camp. When he slowed down the horse's speed, he saw Lu Junyi and the generals were already greeted outside the camp gate.

When Lu Junyi saw that Chao Yong had only brought two people to come, he also knew why Chao Yong could arrive at the front line so quickly.

Seeing that everyone was greeting at the camp gate, Chao Yong dismounted and walked over.

Everyone saw the ceremony together, so they came to the Central Army's tent together.

Chao Yong watched the soldiers in the camp practice in an orderly manner, and nodded secretly.

When he entered the tent, Chao Yong asked, "Can the Liao soldiers cross the border?"

Lu Junyi frowned and said, "No, but they have gathered 50,000 troops across the Baigou River."

"So Xiongzhou is still the only one who treasons of the Song Dynasty who were treason?"

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "Many soldiers in Xiongzhou are unwilling to surrender to the Liao Kingdom. They have escaped in the past few days. Now there are only more than 2,000 soldiers left in the city."

Chao Yong looked at the generals in the tent and said, "Are the troops ready to go to war?"

Lu Junyi stood up and said, "After receiving the court's official documents, we will prepare for the troops and fight at any time."

Chao Yong nodded and said, "Okay, Dong Ping, you have fought with the Liao soldiers. If our army and the Liao soldiers fight to the decisive battle, what is the chance of victory?"

Dong Ping stood up and said, "The two soldiers are of equal numbers. If our army defends the city, the Liao soldiers will definitely not be able to capture the city."

Chao Yong shook his head and said, "The border between Song and Liao is long. Even if you guard several cities, the Liao soldiers can directly enter the hinterland of Hebei. At that time, the people of Daliang will suffer."

"If it is a field battle, the number of people is equivalent. Even if our army wins, it will probably be a tragic victory."

Seeing that Dong Ping said nothing confident, Chao Yong knew that the Liao cavalry should not be underestimated. The Daliang army was invincible because it was against the corrupt Song army, and it was not really invincible in the world.

Chao Yong planned to hit Liao Kingdom head-on. He was not so arrogant that he thought he could recapture the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. After all, among these 50,000 soldiers, less than 10,000 veterans in Liangshan, and the rest were all

The Song Dynasty imperial guards, which had just been reorganized for a few months, were not enough to transform the Song Dynasty imperial guards into powerful soldiers, and they did not experience any war after the reorganization. Although the Liao Kingdom has been in peace for a long time, it often cross-border battles.

Caogu also allowed the Liao soldiers to maintain good combat power.

Chao Yong thought for a while and said, "How much black gunpowder is there in the camp?"

Lu Junyi said: "I have never used it after sending troops, it has 500 kilograms."

Chao Yong nodded and said, "It's enough. It seems that we still have to rely on black gunpowder to give the Liao soldiers a head-on blow so that they dare not invade our Central Plains again. Let's go back and prepare. We will go north tomorrow and take back Xiongzhou."

Dong Ping immediately clasped his fists and said, "Please be the pioneer in the last time."

Chao Yong smiled and said, "Since Dong can't wait for a collision, I will arrange it. Dong Ping's army is the vanguard, Lu Junyi, Zhang Kai, Han Cunbao's army is the central army, Guan Shenghe. The whole army is approaching Xiongzhou City, before dark

We want to take Xiongzhou.”

When Dong Ping heard this, he couldn't help but say, "If the Liao soldiers came to help, the entire army would move quickly, and the soldiers would probably not be able to resist the Liao soldiers."

Chao Yong smiled and said, "The Liao soldiers have never entered the country. I guess the Emperor of Liao did not give an order, so they should not come to rescue him. If you go farther, you should have our spies in Xiongzhou, right?"

Lu Junyi nodded and said, "The people of Xiongzhou were held hostage and surrendered to the Liao Kingdom. The people were extremely angry. The people on the border were harassed by the Liao soldiers every year. It can be said that most of their relatives died at the hands of the Liao soldiers. Therefore, many people wanted to flee south.

But the dog official was afraid that the people would escape and blocked the city gate. However, the dog official was also afraid that we would suddenly attack north, so he sent many soldiers to investigate the movements of our army, so the soldiers fled a lot. I surrendered a team of defectors.

The soldiers asked them to return to Xiongzhou. If the Liao soldiers went south, they would find a way to notify us. After Yelu Dashi stopped selling horses to us, Duan Jingzhu also brought dozens of brothers born in the north to Liao.

The country is inquiring about news, and the Liao army will probably send us a message.”

Before the army moves, the sergeant first moves. Although many times the victory or defeat of the two armies is determined by the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, many times it is determined by the strange plans of the generals. The necessary prerequisite for the successful implementation of the strange plans is to be able to understand the enemy and us.

Situation. Otherwise, no matter how wonderful the design is, if there is an unexpected situation on the battlefield, it may fail.

Seeing that although Lu Junyi was not from a general and had never led troops before, Chao Yong nodded secretly, but the provoy arranged so carefully.

"Where is the food?"

"There is no shortage of food and grass. After the Song Dynasty planned to join forces with Jin to destroy Liao, it hoarded a large amount of food and grass in Hejian Prefecture to prepare for the army to attack Liao. After I led my troops to Mozhou, I sent 50,000 stones of grain to support the army.

More than one month.”

Chao Yong smiled and said, "The Song Dynasty has left us a lot of wealth. Okay, everyone can go back and prepare."

At the fifth update of the next day, the army buried a pot to make rice, had a full meal, and the whole army gathered.

Chao Yong stood above the camp wearing golden armor. The rising sun that had just jumped out of the east was scattered on the golden armor, as if adding a soft aperture to Chao Yong. Coupled with Chao Yong's invincible past, in the eyes of the soldiers

At this time, Chao Yong was like a god.

"The Liao Kingdom bullies us for two hundred years. Now we want to take advantage of our foothold in Daliang and rob us south. My Daliang will never offer tribute to peace like the Song Dynasty, because I Daliang has an invincible army, and they will never go to the enemy.

Bend down. Since I led the troops, I have never been defeated. Soon my defeated generals will add another Liao Kingdom. In this battle, I hope that all the troops will move forward. Those who have no orders to retreat will be killed without mercy. Thousands of men will retreat forever, and ten thousand men will be killed forever
