The towering Baota Mountain, the surging Yanhe River water, and it is also located in Baota Mountain. It is now called the west side of Jialing Mountain. It is closely adjacent to Yanshui. It seems to be a painting full of historical vicissitudes, showing it to Wu Haogu's eyes.

After nearly thirty days of marching, Wu Haogu finally arrived in Yan'an on November 12, the third year of Jianzhong Jingguo in the Song Dynasty.

Baota Mountain, Yanhe River, Yan'an City, caves full of northern Shaanxi style, and large areas of earth-yellow mountains all appeared in Wu Haogu's eyes.

It feels so familiar!

Unfortunately, those who welcomed Wu Haogu at the foot of the Pagoda Mountain were not a group of revolutionaries who were hardworking and simple, but were full of fighting spirit, who were determined to save the nation from danger, but the Taiwei Gao Qiu and the three leading officials of the imperial front.

Because of his previous contributions to Huangzhou and Shanzhou, Gao Taiwei's martial rank official had been promoted to the seventh-rank imperial city envoy, and he also had a county official, the governor of Chaozhou.

Gao Qiu also obtained a new official and was responsible for the affairs of Fuzhou. In other words, he was not transferred from the Northwest Army, but used military officers to know the border troops and the affairs of the state. Among the generals in the Northwest, there were still many people who served as the affairs of the state and the military.

Wang Bing and Yang Keshi, who were in charge of the army with Gao Qiu, were also promoted to the seventh-rank tutor, and the position of Xuanzan Sheren was added. The position was promoted to the front of the palace, Yuhou, the Emperor Zhidu, and the Emperor Long Mengshi, Zhu Zhidu, Yuhou, Zhu Zhidu, Yuhou, Zhu Zhidu, Yuhou, Zhu Zhidu, Commander, before, but Yuma and Mengshi, were not assigned to Du Yuhou, so the commander was the chief official. Therefore, the officials of the two actually did not change.

In addition, Yang Keshi's brother Yang Kebi was also promoted to the East Envoy Officer from the eighth rank. However, he did not continue to stay in front of the palace to guard the horse, but was taken to Fuzhou by Gao Qiu to become the military commander. However, he has not yet taken office (Gao Qiu has not taken office either), so he and Gao Qiu welcomed Wu Haogu and his entourage at the foot of the Baota Mountain.

The two straight barracks in front of the imperial city were not in Fushi City, and of course they were not on Baota Mountain, but on the north bank of Yanshui, spreading from Wangjiaping to Mijiagou for more than ten miles.

After a while of greeting, Gao Qiu led Wu Haogu and his party to the base of the Sanzhi Army.

Tong Guan said goodbye first and went to the Strategy and Pacification Envoy of Fushi City. His current official is to supervise Fuyan's army, so he naturally had to go to Fushi City to meet Tao Jiefu first.

After parting with Tong Guan, Wu Haogu and Gao Qiu advanced together.

"Dalang, how did you agree to lead troops from Fuyan Road? This army is not easy to lead! It would be fine if it wasn't for Zhong Fu's disturbance, but now it's not possible..."

"How could it not work? Someone has enough house deeds."

"After all, the spirit is exhausted! Besides, if you give them the deed, they will get what they want. It is impossible to rely on them to fight as hard as before. Maybe the thousand people who have not been able to work hard, but most people are not able to do so... I originally wanted to get some other incentives, but the officials did not allow it. They could only give rewards and officials according to the rules of the ordinary imperial guards. However, the official body is too tight and it is not easy to get it. I can only give money, but I don't give much money."

Gao Qiu himself looked a little discouraged. He originally wanted to get a "incentive package" similar to military merit titles, but Zhao Ji was not very interested. Now many people have written letters to accuse the court of "emphasizing martial arts and neglecting literature". If there is another military merit title, the rebound will probably be too great.

Moreover, the Song Dynasty still practiced the ancestral system of using literature to control martial arts, and did not follow the old path of the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better to have Tao Jiefu and Zhong Fu supervisors directly send military officers to become generals?

In addition, Zhao Ji also felt that Gao Qiu’s reward to the house slave soldiers was too generous! A property worth 10 million yuan! Just gave it out like this, and Zhao Ji felt very distressed! So before Wu Haogu left Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Ji ordered the cancellation of the incentive method of "changing the head" and only made a small hole for the initial warriors and knights... it was just a house.

Without the houses in Kaifeng Mansion as prizes, the combat effectiveness of the Fangnubeng will certainly be greatly reduced!

So in Gao Qiu's opinion, Wu Haogu took over a big blame.

Wu Haogu smiled faintly: "It's okay if the knights in front of the palace and the Dragon Martyrs are a little worse. Isn't there still 10,000 warriors in the inner guard? The number of people is too much more than before. There are more than 15,000 warriors alone... How can we not fight so many people?"

"What's the point of being too many people? They are all men who can only carry hoes."

"What's wrong with the military soldiers?" Wu Hao's ancient road, "Didn't the military soldiers of the Sui and Tang dynasties also rely on military soldiers to fight the barbarians?"

"Hey, how can we compare with the Sui and Tang dynasties?" Gao Qiu shook his head repeatedly, "Those soldiers in the palace are just a group of farmers. The Fuyan Road Commander also provided them with a lot of farm tools, but they didn't give them many weapons. They just regarded them as farmers and soldiers who were farming."

"It's okay," Wu Haogu said with a smile, "weapons have been brought! Ten thousand long spears, ten thousand straight knives, and ten thousand collar armor."

Wu Haogu did not come from empty, but brought a huge mule, horse and cart. Otherwise, he would not have left for 30 days before he arrived at Yan'an Mansion.

"It's useless to have weapons..." Gao Qiu shook his head, "Is there any general? The ones that Fuyan Road rationed are old soldiers. The gangsters' lives are okay, but they can't support the 20,000 army."

"There are generals and schools!" Wu Haogu nodded, "Brother Gao, don't forget the 500 people from the Military and Education Department of the Privy Council in the past, but most of them are in the imperial horses in front of the hall to serve as knights! There are still three or four months left, which is enough to train 20 spearmen to command."

"Yes..." Gao Qiu was stunned, "How did you forget them? 500 generals! Dalang, you are still meticulous!"

"So some fights!" Wu Haogu pointed behind him with a smile, "He also brought a lot of good players... Brother Gao, let's bring you some to Fuzhou."

"Okay!" Gao Qiu bowed his hand on the horse's back, "thank you, thank you."

...

"Second brother, this is Xiao Heda. The Liao Shangguo sent a general to help us."

At the same time, Wei Ming Qianshun, the emperor of the Dabai Gao Kingdom, introduced a big man with a big face but thin eyes to King Cha Ge, who returned from King Chuancheng of Qin.

"Goodbye to the king!" A man named Xiao Heda saluted Cha Ge. He is less than 30 years old this year, with a loud voice and can speak fluent Dangxiang dialect.

Qian Shun smiled and said, "Xiao Qing is now from my Dabai Gaoguo... He is the accompaniment of Princess Cheng'an."

Princess Cheng'an's name is Yelu Nanxian. She was a royal woman from the Liao Kingdom. Not long ago, she was named Princess Cheng'an by Yelu Yanxi and was preparing to marry Weiming Qianshun as her queen. Now the princess is still in the Liao Kingdom, but Yelu Yanxi sent Xiao Heda, who was a servant, to Xixia.

"Xiao Qing also brings us good news." Gan Shun said again, "Gao Qiu, the general of the Song Dynasty, was dismissed, and he sent a Du Yuhou, who only knew how to draw and do business in Wu Hao, who was the three direct emperors in the imperial court in ancient times."

Gao Qiu will probably never be regarded as a treacherous minister who only knows Cuju again, but will be regarded as a famous general with great force!

"Wu Haogu?" Brother Cha was stunned. "I heard of this person... Did he build that Jiehe Market?"

"Yes, that's this person." Xiao Heda said, "This person is still a little bit of a governance talent. If he is used as the prefect of the prefect of the prefectures and counties, he should be a good official. Unfortunately, the king of Song was a little confused and actually sent him to command the army."

"The emperor of the Eastern Dynasty was confused?" Brother Cha had seen "Tian Khan Zhao Ji" with his own eyes, and was defeated by the elite soldiers who were "herself-trained" by Zhao Ji, so he felt a little guilty.

Xiao Heda narrowed his eyes: "King, a family has seen that Wu Haogu... It's in the Senate of Jiehe Shang City."

Xiao Heda had met Wu Haogu in the name of the veteran agent! He naturally stayed in Jiehe Shang City for a while.

"Senior House?" Brother Cha didn't understand very much, "What kind of yamen is this?"

"This is... a republican yamen."

"Republic?" Brother Cha became even more confused.

"The Republic is a city matter that is determined by the elders," Xiao Heda said, "It's quite strange...but the effect is pretty good, and it has also brought up Jiehe Market.

But this man didn't know the soldiers at all, nor was he a general, so it would definitely not work to lead troops to fight. The two men in the front of him will never be as sharp as before."

"I would have done this," Cha Ge whispered.

The two straights in the front line (now the three straights) are undoubtedly a terrible opponent! Without them, Huangzhou, Shanzhou would never have fallen so quickly.

"Then what good strategy does General Xiao have to defeat the enemy?" Brother Cha asked again at this time.

Xiao Heda smiled and said, "I have a little plan."

Brother Cha said, "You might as well tell me."

Xiao Heda said: "The current situation is that the enemy is strong and we are weak, but after all, we are soldiers on horseback. Even if we are at a disadvantage, we cannot completely lose our special skills... We should still use the strengths of the horse army, run back and forth, and attack them with weak. Even if we cannot win, we can disperse the power of the Song army so that we cannot concentrate our forces and advance vigorously."

"General Xiao means that we should take the initiative to invade the territory of the Eastern Dynasty?"

"Yes!" Xiao Heda said, "Go and rob, kill, and burn... This is what our horse-backed men should do! That kind of situation without gain is not our best strategy!"

Brother Cha nodded slightly. He was indeed a little conservative before. The strategy of luring the enemy into depth and retreating to fight is certainly safe. But this also allows the enemy to break into the territory of Dabaigao, and he also has to bear the pain of strengthening the walls and clearing the world. The most important thing is that even if you win, there will be no spoils.
