Chapter 602 March 17th

Xiao's scorching sun was dragged down by his own interests and thoughts, and it became an indefinite wait.

After several contacts with the Great Demon King, he found that the Great Demon King was like a tube of toothpaste. Every time he squeezed, a piece appeared, which made people feel itchy, but he was unwilling to sign an agreement. Every time there were new topics, "sincerity", and it took three days to consider it every time.

This situation made Xiao's scorching sun gradually lose his patience and start to go crazy. However, the big devil was polite and gentle on the surface, but in fact, it was obvious that it was delaying in language and did not care about the fact that he was about to go wild.

On the other side, Xiao Hui was located in the camp of the Nanjing Conquest Army in Liao Kingdom, and was anxious.

Seeing that the weather has become warmer, as the northern evacuation of Song State deepens, the best time for war to the Liao State is missing. Calculate the days, half a month has passed since Xiao’s scorching sun, but he still has not returned?

Lao Xiao didn't plan to wait, and he basically knew that he had fallen into a trap. Shen Jilang was not a conspiracy this time, but an open conspiracy. It was obvious that his great devil was snatching his face and scaring everyone with the aura of the God of War again to win the time for his great evacuation from the north of Song State.

Such a strategy cannot be achieved if anyone else has it. Only the great devil can do it. Who would have thought that at this time, he would have such a rebellious anti-routine strategy?

The bad thing is that Xiao Hui is too cautious, and the great retreat in the north of the Song State was mostly interpreted as a good thing among the Liao army. They believed that whether it was the plan of the great devil or helpless, the evacuation of the Song people was not a bad thing, which means that the resistance encountered when advancing, and the Liao State could easily obtain a large area of ​​land in the north of the Song State.

It was precisely because of such remarks and ideas that Xiao Hui delayed it again and again until now, and wanted to wait for the news of Xiao's scorching sun, but he had not sent troops to attack Song for a long time.

But it really doesn't work, so I can't wait any longer. Xiao's scorching sun may have his own thoughts and the urination of diplomatic bureaucrats. Most people in the Song and Liao people have the same virtue. This is a national war that can't be expected to achieve diplomatic results.

So now, sixteen days have passed since Xiao’s scorching sun, and Xiao Hui decisively promoted the tent.

After the drum of the battle of the Domao was beating, Xiao Hui sat high in the position of commander, looked around the dozens of generals from all sides and said lightly: "I thought I had missed the best date for dispatch, but it was not too late to make up for the sheep. I couldn't wait for news of Xiao's scorching sun. It was time to advance to the State of Song."

He paused and said, "Don't have psychological pressure. The Great Liao did not fight undeclared. There are reasons for war. When the Song people provoked the Great Liao to attack Suzhou Port, we conducted sincere negotiations and signed a treaty in accordance with benevolence, righteousness and morality. One of the treaties was that Wang Rong, the responsible person of Suzhou Port, was dismissed. But his return now means that the Song State denied the original treaty, so we must use a strong counterattack to redefine the Suzhou Port incident."

"General, Bei Zhi has something to say." An old Xiao's confidant saw Xiao Hui nodding slightly, and then said, "The return of Shen Jilang is indeed a reason for the war, there is no doubt. But Bei Zhi believes that since it has come to this point, you can try to wait. Now it is seen that the actions of the State of Song are empty cities, not traps. It doesn't matter if he completes his evacuation. If the Song people withdraw, will it be more conducive to our army's conquest and occupation?"

Xiao Hui said: "However, this is nonsense. Although the Song people did not resist much after evacuation, it also meant that our army would not achieve great results in the early stage of the march, and it would not be able to boost our army's morale and the confidence in the rear of the Song State. Responsible, this was very necessary in the early stage of the war, and it was also the advantage of the attacking side. If the evacuation of Shenjilang was completed, it would be equivalent to being erased by him to erase the inequality between the offensive and the defense side in the early stage of the war. This was not good for our attacking side, but it retained a lot of vitality for his defending side. At first glance, it seemed like he was losing power and lost a large area of ​​territory, but in fact, in line with his policy of relocation of industries and technical personnel thirteen months ago, he retained the vitality for the Song Dynasty's Jedi counterattack."

"At the same time, the large-scale evacuation of the Song people is equivalent to causing fatal logistical pressure on the attack of our Liao army in the autumn harvest season. Everyone, if there is any mistake, it must be corrected. If we sent troops half a month earlier, the logistics line would not need to bear a lot of pressure, so we might get a lot of food and grass supplements from the territory of the Song Dynasty, which would be enough for us to advance to Daming Mansion. But it is hard to say now. This gap is enough for Shen Jilang to make many deployments. Now, he is a truly amazing strategist. He would rather bear the reputation of losing a large area of ​​land, but limit the number and speed of our advance, so that we cannot advance quickly as the industrial city of Daming Mansion. Once we force this, there is a risk of logistical supply and the army will go deep."

Everyone couldn't help but swear after hearing this.

Xiao Hui sighed and said, "I regret it. So far, we are already lagging behind too much. It seems that we have used the situation to make arrangements for a long time, but we have to admit the uniqueness of Shenjilang. He was already preparing for this comprehensive war between great powers thirteen months ago at the most critical moment of his political career. At this point, the famous masters deserved the reputation of this great power."

At this point, Xiao Hui stood up and said, "Cross the boundary river and advance immediately! Time is the lifeline of this battle. If we cannot push it to the second-line defense circle of Song State at a suitable time and occupy the grain and industrial base of Song State, then I dare not say that the Liao Dynasty will definitely lose, but undoubtedly, with the size and blood-generating ability of Song State, we will fall into the real quagmire of war. Under that situation, Goryeo, Xixia, and Jiaozhi may have a position problem. Perhaps we are the ones who catch fire in the backyard!"

"See the General Ping Song to the death!"

Many generals who followed the old Xiao Bing to Xingqing Mansion kneeled on the ground with one leg.

At this point, March 17 has become a new chapter in the wheel of history. This is a day destined to be recorded in history. At the node of the world war, on March 17, the total war between the Song and Liao dynasties officially began.

More than 300,000 cavalrymen of Liao Kingdom were divided into seven routes and continuously crossing the border from Xiaonan Hekou, Bazhou, Huatazikou, Dashi, Wushan, Caocheng, Baoning and other regions, and officially launched the strategy of attacking Song Dynasty...

In just two months after the arrogant devil came to power, he had been working hard and low-key to dispatch troops. This was to win a small amount of time in order to confuse the Liao Kingdom and make up for the harm caused by Han Qi's improper policies to this period.

By the end of March of the eighth year of Jiayou, the atmosphere of pills in the Song Dynasty had not been eased, but on the contrary, it was becoming increasingly serious.

The Funing Army had already withdrawn from the major industrial towns in Beijing and entered Bianjing.

This is the only army recognized by the Song Dynasty. The Daming Prefecture is recognized as the largest industrial center, with one-third of the economy and politics of the Song Dynasty. At this point, many people interpreted the withdrawal of the Funing Army as a pill, which is unacceptable. Although the Great Demon King did not call for the capital to move, the situation was already to the extreme. The Great Demon King's operation, for example, represents that the Daming Prefecture may fall under the iron hoof of the Liao cavalry.

If there was no mainstay Funing Army, which led to the loss of the defense line of Daming Prefecture, then the Liao army would have arrived at the capital of the Song Dynasty faster than expected.

At this point, the entire capital was panicked.

Now the power of Gyeonggi seems to be increasing, but the news of emergency in many local battlefields is like snowflakes. However, in fact, no reinforcements are received in any place. The Great Demon King only says to everyone: self-reliance and hard work.

In addition to making people pay special attention, this inevitably makes people feel that the great devil is no different from the cowardly prime ministers in the past on this issue.

Youdao is a tradition of the Song Dynasty. Whenever there is any movement, it is not to send the army of the Jingjin community out, but to shrink external forces to defend the security of the Jingjin community on the contrary. It is the most prominent feature of the Song Dynasty since ancient times.

The Great Devil is even more excessive now. The people in the capital have discovered that even the Sichuan army that Han Qi planned to deploy Guangxi had entered Beijing. Now that the Liao Kingdom is advancing in large numbers, it has not brought the extra power to the north? This has made many people not understand what operations?

If the publicity is not properly done during this period and the confidence cannot be stabilized, the climate situation will gradually fall in public opinion and gradually deteriorate in the country.

The advantage is that this is the consistent nature of the Song Dynasty. The people have become accustomed to such courts, and the exemption and tolerance rate of labor will be relatively higher. After all, there were almost no great devils in the past when people were disappointed, and everyone is willing to wait patiently.

This is why Wang Rong dared to walk the tightrope during this period. He was almost using the last credibility of the Song Dynasty regime and using all the character accumulated by the Great Demon King in the past to mock him for his face!

Because even Wang Rong had no choice. It was necessary to give up the front line in the north, and that was the empty city plan that had no choice.

Now the Funing Army is no longer a cavalry. In order to retain the morale of the army, it is impossible to temporarily search the war horses of their various armies, as it will affect the morale of the army and lead to the overall combat efficiency of the Song Dynasty. In this case, Shen Jiyun believed that the Funing Army could no longer play the role of a sharp knife.

If it were not organized, the four troops who were used to being idle had forgotten what was going on in war.

So even if he felt sorry for him, Wang Rong had to pull the Funing Army back and participate in the restructuring of the entire system architecture of the Fourth Army.

The Great Demon King had to use the high fault tolerance climate of the national war to brake super-large operations on the military system in a limited time. Using the Funing Army as the command structure to "bankruptly reorganize" the upper four armies. This was the final way out for the Song Dynasty.

This may not necessarily have much combat power. Because it is certain that the three feet of ice will not be cold for a day. But at least I am sure that I can barely turn the upper four armies into capable army.

Then as long as the route does not disperse and the cohesion does not disperse, they will slowly mature in the continuous bloodshed of combat after they enter the battlefield. This is the process of natural selection, and practice is always the most effective way of education.

If there was enough time, Wang Yun could slowly change the nature of the Song army in a eased manner. But now there is no time.

According to the past situation of the Song Dynasty, even if the prime minister is willing to offend others, it is almost impossible to completely reorganize like this, and the impact of the interests is too great. However, the prestige of the great devil in the army is special, which is unprecedented in the Song Dynasty. In addition, in the moment of national crisis, many powerful and politicians have already compromised against the great devil in politics, so the tolerance rate is naturally high under such circumstances.

After nearly two months of assault since taking office, the reorganization of the Fourth Army has gradually come to an end when the Song-Liao War officially broke out. And under the supervision of the new command structure, a small number of troops have completed the dress-up and entered the stage of strong training.
