Chapter 85: The Curtain Opens
Chapter 85: The curtain opens
Under the city of Xiongzhou, there was a barracks filled with a joyful atmosphere. The soldiers of the Song army talked, laughed, shouted, venting their joy to the fullest.
This year, it was extraordinary for the Song Dynasty. What's extraordinary is that the Song Dynasty finally became proud, which was something that had never happened in the Song and Liao War in hundreds of years.
First, the Guixin Army robbed annual monies, and then tens of thousands of troops went deep into the Liao territory to plunder, gained a lot, and killed more than 73,000 Liao troops. This was a feat in the history of the Song Dynasty.
Such a result is certainly joyful. However, what makes the soldiers of the Song army most happy is that they are confident that they no longer run away when they see the Liao army as before. On the contrary, they can raise their heads, raise their chests in front of the Liao army, and say proudly, "Liao dog, you have today too."
This sentence is what the Song army said when they went deep into the Liao territory to plunder, defeated the Liao army and killed the Liao army. Although this sentence is simple, it makes them excited.
"Brother, we're meeting again!"
"Yes! We met again. Think about it this year, we are so happy. Liaogou will run away when he meets us."
"That's right, who told us to be so capable of fighting? Our thunderbolt bullets, our Modao, our Polu bow...what doesn't scare Liaogou?"
"Think about how happy it was when we went deep into the Liao territory to plunder and chased the Liao dog and ran away like a dog!"
"Liao dog, Liao dog, with the word "dog", can you not escape like a dog?"
When the soldiers met, they were talking about joy, and the more they said they became more and more happy.
"Get things!" Just as the soldiers were talking happily, someone suddenly ordered that a team of baggage soldiers rushed over in large chariots and yelled at the soldiers.
"It must be wine and meat!"
"That's more important? This year, we have won such a big victory. It's the Chinese New Year. If we don't drink it, that's all!"
The soldiers really wanted to get drunk to vent their joy. However, what they didn't expect was that it was not wine and meat, but dry food, and generations of horse milk. The horse milk was a drink from the Liao army, which could not only quench thirst and also fill hunger.
"How come it is dry food? And horse milk?"
"We don't go to war, we are doing the New Year, what are we doing?"
The soldiers of the Song army were confused. You looked at me, and I looked at you, no one knew about you.
At this moment, a team of commanders arrived and shouted: "Sir Wang has an order: dry food, horse breasts should not be eaten without food! Violators should be killed!" After repeated commands, they quickly left.
"This..." The soldiers were all dumbfounded, with a look of confusion.
Dry food and horse breasts are delivered at this season, which is surprising. What surprised them even more is that they are not allowed to eat them. If they eat, they have to be beheaded, which is too heavy.
If they had not had this military order, they would not have been so surprised even though they were not sure why they had given dry food and mama milk.
"I won't be going to fight again, are you?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Where can I fight during the New Year?"
"Then why do you give dry food and horse breasts? Look at the amount of this portion, it takes five days. If you don't fight, you can give so much?"
The soldiers discussed it over and over again, but they didn't understand it. Instead, they became more and more confused as they discussed it. However, one thing they still understood was that this year was extraordinary.
In Xiongzhou City, Wang Shao's general's mansion stood on both sides. Huangfu Song, Qi Dabao, Han Fang, and Fang Ren were all there, all of them raised their heads and were full of energy.
Wang Shao stood, his eyes shot out from his tiger's eyes, glanced at the generals, and slowly spoke: "This year, we were proud and won an amazing victory! Although we did not capture a city in the Liao Kingdom, we killed more than 73,000 Liao dogs, which has never happened in a hundred years! You rushed to Xiongzhou happily, are you thinking that I would invite you to a banquet and get drunk happily?"
"Haha!" Who didn't think so? He couldn't help but burst into laughter, very happy.
"I tell you that your daydreams can wake up! I won't invite you to drink..." Wang Shao's words broke the surprise of the generals as soon as he started.
"Ah! Don't drink!" The generals were disappointed. As they thought, they would definitely have a banquet when they rushed to Xiongzhou. Wang Shao said it clearly in the military order. How happy they were when they received the military order. They didn't want to get it? When they arrived, they were like this. They couldn't be disappointed.
"Are you disappointed if you don't have any wine?" Wang Shao's voice suddenly turned high, and he said, "I can invite you to drink blood! Liaogou's blood! Do you have any planting to drink?"
This was so amazing, like thunder thunder, shaking the generals as if they were carved with mud, standing foolishly, and even forgot to speak. After a long time, someone finally reacted and raised his throat and asked, "Shumi Wang, are you going to kill Liao Gou?"
"Yes! Are you going to kill Liao Gou?" The generals finally understood and were very excited.
"I haven't done anything to kill Liaogou during the Chinese New Year. I think it's not bad, right?"
"Hehe! It's almost the New Year, and it's really joyful to make Liaogou unable to celebrate the New Year!"
The generals started talking.
"Shumi Wang, where will we hit? You give the order, we will hit wherever you say."
"Yes! Wang Shumi, please give the order!"
The generals were particularly excited and shouted loudly. For a moment, the general's mansion buzzed.
"Shut up!" Wang Shao shouted, and the discussions of the generals came to an abrupt end as if they were cut off.
"As for where to fight, you don't need to know. As long as you know and be prepared, you will obey the orders of Wu Du. As for anything else, you will not be allowed to ask!" Wang Shao's voice was very loud, as if he was thunderous, which made the generals' ear drums buzz.
I can't even ask questions, I can only execute them. I've been baptized by the battlefield. Of course I understand what this means. This means that the operation is extremely aimed at, and there is no leakage at all, and I will accept the order in unison.
"You go back and send orders to ask your brothers to rest. When it's dark, gather. Then you will know what to do! Go!" Wang Shao's face was solemn, his hand waved, and the generals bowed and said to his back.
After the generals retreated, Wang Shao came to the map and looked at the map. His eyes were bright and bright. His chest was undulating, and he was also very nervous. With such a big plan, if he was not nervous when it was time to implement it, he would be no longer a human.
Just then, Wu Ji came in, Wang Shao turned around and asked, "Brother Wu, have the things been sent down?"
"All have been sent! The military order has been conveyed!" Wu Ji nodded.
"Have you started to make trouble?" Wang Shao was still a little worried. In order to keep it secret, he had to do so, but this was too abrupt for the soldiers. It was understandable that they had complaints.
"There are some discussions, but no trouble." Wu Ji smiled slightly and said, "The brothers are all people who have been on the battlefield, so they naturally understand what this means. They are looking forward to it."
"That's good!" Wang Shao pointed and said, "You're going to set out tonight, so let's take a break first. Say goodbye to your brother and sister!"
Wu's military industry, Wu Ji brought Yang Xiuxiu and Wu Qing and said, "I'm going to inspect military affairs. I'm leaving for a while. I'll leave the Wu's military industry to you."
Wu Ji has a lot of military affairs, so it is reasonable to leave. Yang Xiuxiu and Wu Qing and others naturally would not be suspicious, but just told Wu Ji to be careful not to get frozen.
Yang Xiuxiu even cooked herself and cooked a delicious meal for Wu Ji. After dinner, it was already very late. Wu Ji and Yang Xiuxiu farewell and took Wu Jian and Wu Xing with him and left the city.
When he arrived at the city gate, Wang Shao was waiting for him. Seeing that Wu Ji arrived, he welcomed him and said, "Brother Wu, I'm here to help you!"
"Shu Wang is so serious! It is a blessing for our men to contribute to the country and to the prosperity of China!" Wu Ji smiled.
All the generals came up and saw the etiquette. Wang Shao said, "The commander of Wu Du assigns tasks to you, you must hear it clearly. This time, it is important, and you will never allow mistakes! No matter who makes a mistake, you will be killed!"
The word "Slaying" is like a thunderous thunder, making the generals feel ashamed and dare not have the slightest desire to be lucky.
Next, Wu Ji assigned the generals a route to the generals. Tens of thousands of troops were dispatched, and it was inevitable that they could not concentrate on the same route. Wu Ji and Wang Shao had already planned the route to advance, and the dispatch was completed in an orderly manner and soon.
This assignment was very different from the past. From beginning to end, Wu Ji was talking alone. The generals kept in mind the military orders that could not be asked, and no one asked.
The dispatch was completed, and the generals bowed and returned to the formation.
Wu Ji, accompanied by Wang Shao, came to the front of the team. The vanguard army had already completed the assembly according to the military order. In the dark night, a large area of darkness was like a huge dark cloud, giving people a sense of depression.
The torch ignited and surrounded Wu Ji. This was the only light in the entire military formation. The soldiers looked at Wu Ji and were surprised. Everyone knew that Wu Ji made great contributions to the current situation in the Song Dynasty. It can be said that Wu Ji made great contributions, and Wu Ji was loved by the soldiers.
"Brothers: This year is a good year! It is a good year for harvesting the heads of Liao dogs!" Wu Ji spoke, and he talked to the hearts of the soldiers: "First, the Congxin Army harvested 8,000 heads of Liao dogs. Then, the 80,000 soldiers of the Song Dynasty harvested more than 73,000 heads, a total of more than 81,000 heads. In the 100-year history of the Song Dynasty, it has not been harvested in a year. We should be proud! Long live the Song Dynasty!"
"Long live the Song Dynasty!" The shocking roar made the ground tremble.
"When this old year is about to pass and the new year is about to come, it is a good time to harvest the heads of Liao dogs. We cannot miss it!" Wu Ji continued to speak: "When the New Year comes, we can enjoy fine wine, but although the fine wine is good, it is not as good as the blood of Liao dogs! We will go deeper into the Liao territory again, harvest the heads of Liao dogs, and drink the blood of Liao dogs!"
"Reap the head of the Liao dog!"
"Drinking the blood of Liao Dog!"
Wu Ji's speech was shocking, and the soldiers were all overjoyed and roared hard.
"Set out!" Wu Jila turned his horse's head and walked in his head.
"Rumor!" The sound of thunderous hooves sounded, and the 50,000 troops entered the Liao territory under the cover of night.
Chapter completed!
