Chapter 23 There is nothing new under the sun

"You are too bold. You are criticized by the sixth-rank Youwu doctor from the ninth-rank envoy. Even if you are not under his jurisdiction, this matter will be arrogance and rude. You are now an official. You have to learn the rules in the officialdom, otherwise you will suffer one day."

Liu Qi, who was leaving, said to Wang Yue speechlessly.

"Isn't this exactly in line with my personality?"

Wang Yue said.

"What is a character?"

Liu Qi asked.

"I am the image of my person in Taishi Tong's heart.

I am a simple, scheming man in his heart who says whatever he wants. Since I am such a person, of course I will say whatever he wants. By the way, can I know what a doctor and a prefect are like? I only know that the Grand Master must listen to the words of the Grand Master, and you two are friends, but what is his name for this kind of person?"

Wang Yue said.

"Heshen, the Right Wu Doctor, the Governor of Weizhou, the Governor of Xiongzhou, and his father, He Bin, the General under Di Wuxiang's troops."

Ma Kuo said.

"Heshen?"

Wang Yue said in surprise.

Well, this name is indeed well-known.

"So can I know who he is?"

He continued.

Liu Qi looked at this guy with complicated eyes...

"You guys are used to acting!"

He sighed.

"As for the play, I still have to act.

But we are also brothers, so there is no need to act.

But speaking of this, why did our Grand Tutor make this arrangement? How could there be such arrangements for the matter on the battlefield? If you want to fight, fight, and if you don’t fight, don’t fight. Since you are still timid, where did his ambitions when he left the capital? When you were in the capital, you all said that our army of more than 100,000 would even rush up to drown the Liao army. Although I repeatedly reminded you that it is not that simple, you think I am worried about it.

Now it proves that I am right.

But since things have come to this point, they must be treated in this way.

If you need to fight, you have to fight. Now that people are really trying to fight, we are starting to shrink. Even for the sake of comfort, we have to show our might first show our might.

As long as there is a victory, Yelu Chun will naturally be honest.

But why are you afraid of fighting first?”

Wang Yue said.

"Come on, come on, I'll take you to see."

Liu Qi said.

Then the three of them went straight out of the headquarters and soon arrived at a military camp. A large number of the officials who had just arrived were camping. These infantry soldiers looked yellow and thin, and most of the armor on them were broken, and the rust on them was not wiped clean. As for the weapons, they were almost the same. The rusty swords and guns, the arches and crossbows that had been damaged for a long time, and some had not even wiped dirt. Many people even had no real weapons in their hands, just casually found a wooden stick and put a gun head in it.

And they are not all young and middle-aged, and there are quite a few of them who have white beards.

They could not see any military temperament, just a group of poor people holding simple weapons, and even many of them were ragged clothes and looked like beggars.

The temperament is similar.

Wang Yue suspected that their profession was a beggar before they came.

This is true for the entire military camp.

"The sixth general on Hebei Road has just arrived from Hejian Mansion."

Liu Qi sighed and said.

Wang Yue looked at a creepy man with a thrilling look. The latter was leaning on his so-called cone gun, walking crookedly while arguing with several soldiers. Because of Wang Yue's inexplicable language, he understood very well...

This guy is a pimp, and those soldiers owed him money.

"You ask the Grand Master why he lost his ambitions?

That's it.

The Hebei Road Imperial Guard has not been aware of military wars for nearly 120 years since the Tanyuan Alliance. Even the white-haired people have not seen the war. What will the army that has not fought for 120 years? The Liao people have become corrupt to hundreds of thousands of troops. The Liao lord has been in charge of the army, but they are still defeated by less than 20,000 savages. Is this the Tielin Army that was rampant in Hebei back then?

If the Liao people are like this, will we be better?

We will only be more corrupt.

The Grand Tutor did think that the Hebei imperial guards were not worth using, so he brought a lot of Western troops, but the Western troops finally put the prevention of the Western Xia first and only a few people could be transferred. This battle had to be relied on the Hebei imperial guards. Although the Grand Tutor had been to Hebei, it was just a quick look and it was difficult to know the fact of the Hebei imperial guards. Now that the imperial guards gathered in various places, they realized that the Hebei imperial guards had already become corrupt. Even if there were 200,000 troops, what was the use of such an army? The border patrol army seemed to have more than 100,000, but in fact, less than 30% of them could be used."

Liu Qi said.

"Also, do you think this army of more than 100,000 is really more than 100,000?"

Ma Kuo said.

"Uh, can I also get an empty salary for the Song Dynasty?"

Wang Yue said in surprise.

"During the Chongning period, only nearly 40,000 fugitive soldiers on Xihe Road were fugitives, and there were nine generals on Xihe Road, and all of them were only 50,000 or 60,000. Why do you think the generals didn't care? Not only that, but also those who hired people to replace them when they were about to fight. Look at these people who looked like beggars, probably which rich imperial guards hired them to replace them.

The Grand Tutor mobilized 150,000 troops on the books of this trip.

But in fact, I guess the Taishi himself doesn’t know how much it is. It’s better to be able to exceed 100,000.”

Ma Kuo said.

"Sure enough, nothing new under the sun!"

Wang Yue sighed.

This can also explain why the Song army lost so badly.

It is not entirely true that the system issues are not the generals of the past, and the generals of the imperial guards were no longer the generals of the past, and the generals of the army were no longer known. After the Xifeng reform, the Song army actually carried the military strategy and the old law in parallel, but gradually became the main body, which was similar to the general system in the late Ming Dynasty. Local military and political officials recruited troops, and then these troops were commanded and trained by the generals. When war was needed, these generals led their troops to the battlefield. In short, this time they would be the basic combat unit of the Song army.

The number of people is not fixed.

There are tens of thousands of people and two thousand people.

Tong Guan’s army of more than 100,000 people gathered together like this, but if he wants to get a job, it is hard to say how many of them are.

Not to mention that most of them have not fought a war for more than a hundred years.

No wonder Yang Zhi is so respected by Taishi Tong. After all, this is still a real war!

"He wants to make money by himself and learn from others to play military blackmail!"

He said.

Master Tong's dream was shattered, and he had to play a desperate struggle, just like those gamblers on the gambling table who were holding a bad card but were cheating on his opponent.

I really dare not open the card.

I can only continue to perform the drama of more than 100,000 elite soldiers and generals.

Maybe you will win?

After all, the opponent cannot come up with any good cards. What if Yelu Chun can't hold on first?

"It's not entirely a bet, after all, the Liao army is really a minor.

Even if the Hebei imperial guards are not worth using, there are still tens of thousands of Western troops after all. If war begins, our troops will still be far greater than those of the Liao army. It is said that the Liao army in Xincheng opposite only has a few thousand cavalry. Although there are still some Han soldiers in the local area, there are also thousands of Guo Yaoshi troops in Zhuozhou, and there are thousands of people in Xiao Gan. However, the total number of soldiers on the opposite side is only 10,000 or 20,000, and our army still has enough chance of winning."

Liu Qi said.

The premise for this chance of victory is that the combat effectiveness of the Western Army is similar to that of the Liao Army.

What's more, the coach here is not the same level as the coach there. Tong Guan vs. Yelu Dashi, it's like someone jumping up and hitting someone on the knee!

“When will we set off?”

Wang Yue asked Ma Kuo.

"Brother Wang, you have thought about it. This trip is really a risk of death. Since Yelu Chun killed the envoy, he naturally did not think of surrendering. Once we deal with him in Xijin City, the two sides began to fight on the battlefield of Baigou. It would be fine if the Liao army was defeated. If the Liao army wins, it is difficult to guarantee that we will not be killed."

Ma Kuo said.

"It's okay, if Wang doesn't say anything else, he won't be afraid of such things."

Wang Yue said with a smile.

He was afraid of being a hairy person, and he didn't know that Ma Kuo didn't die in Xijin City at all.

He had already remembered who this person was. The male protagonist of "Jinou Que" was so miserable by Xu Xingye that his wife was caught as a female slave. He sneaked into the occupied area and wanted to redeem it, but he didn't expect that he had been tortured to death. Finally, he met his last time before he died, and then walked towards the vast road with his ashes, wiping his tears, wiping his tears...

However, he did not die during this mission!

This trip is safe!

So what's scary?
Chapter completed!
