Zhao Kai led a 100,000 army to Hezhong Prefecture and Jiezhou?

Is this too fast?

Hezhong Prefecture and Jiezhou are very far away from Taiyuan! How come his 100,000 army arrives so quickly?

The expressions on the faces of the Western Army generals present suddenly became solemn... They originally planned to fight Zhao Kai as the Western thief Wei Mingcha Ge, but they didn't expect that the 100,000 troops of others came so fast, it seemed to be Yuan Hao's level!

Moreover, Zhao Kai defeated the real gold thieves before... and also lifted the siege of Taiyuan and recovered Xinzhou, Daizhou, Xianzhou, and Ninghua troops!

If you can fight such a battle, not to mention anything else, Zhao Kai must have a strong military ability. And here...

These Western Army generals glanced at Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, Wang Shu, Zong Ze... three old scholars and a white-faced scholar! Needless to say, the four of them were commanding the Shaanxi Western Army to fight Zhao Kai.

Use literature to control martial arts!

Now the court has gone wherever it is, and the generals can no longer control it, but the civil war will not change!

First of all, the four laymen agreed to let them, the unlucky warriors, execute... If the old generation, Lao Yao and the others were there, they would still be able to fight against the first one.

But now there are only a group of second- and third-rate characters left. Who dares to fight against Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu's blind command?

I'm afraid I'll be killed in vain at that time!

Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu's hearts are actually very weak... They have no money!

There is no problem with letting them rule the generals, and it is not a character like the old generation Lao Yao. Among these people, the ones who are a little harder are Qu Duan, Miao Fu, and Liu Zhengyan. Can you dare to rebel?

But it will be difficult to get them to defend their troops without enough wealth to be distributed!

The general dared not rebel, but he could run away!

If you get enough money, you will run away, let alone if you don’t have much money?

To be honest, these two old men are not good at mastering soldiers, so now they can only ask Wang Shu and Zong Ze for advice.

Wang Shu held his black beard and frowned deeply, as if he was thinking hard. After a while, he nodded and said, "The soldiers in Hedong are powerful, and it seems that they are heading straight for Jingzhao Mansion!"

This judgment should be impossible to be wrong... Jingzhao Prefecture was built on the ruins of the original Tang Dynasty Chang'an City. Although it cannot be compared with the original Chang'an City, its political significance is still extraordinary!

Once Zhao Kai occupied Jingzhao Prefecture, he would have a political center that could be compared with Kaifeng Prefecture!

Moreover, this political center is located in the heart of four powerful dynasties including Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties. It has been the residence of emperors since ancient times, which can give the people of the Central Plains great expectations.

Once Zhao Huan abandons the Central Plains and is lucky to Jiangnan, the people in the Central Plains will definitely look west to Chang'an... So in Wang Shu's view, the gains and losses of the battle in Guanzhong depend on Jingzhao Prefecture!

As for the orthodox struggle of the Song Dynasty, it depends on who can stay in the northern part of the Central Plains to lead the anti-Jin?

Once Zhao Kai seizes Guanzhong, he just needs to hold on and wait for the day when Zhao Huan runs away.

By then, who would dare to say that Zhao Kai is unorthodox?

Wang Shu also said: "Therefore, most of the Jiezhou and Shaanxi are not allowed to be defended in Hezhong. For the current plan, we can only station other departments in Tongguan, Huazhou, Tongzhou and Danzhou to guard Guanhe and delay their troops.

At the same time, we will gather our troops in Jingzhao Prefecture City and take strict precautions to wait for the bandit army. If the bandits arrive, we will defend the city and spread the army. If there are few bandits, we will go out to the city to fight to the decisive battle and wipe out the enemy in one fell swoop!"

Zong Ze touched his white beard and frowned and said, "If you want to fight in Jingzhao Prefecture, then Tongguan, Huazhou, Tongzhou, and Danzhou do not need to defend. In those places, there are fewer soldiers, and there are fewer soldiers in Jingzhao Prefecture. It is better to concentrate your efforts to fight with Zhao Kai in Jingzhao Prefecture!

In addition, the score troops of Baqiao Town outside Jingzhao Prefecture City guarded... to make Jingzhao Prefecture and Bashang support each other, so that they can last for a long time."

Qian Gai turned his head and looked at Fan Zhixu.

Fan Zhixu said: "The general system, the lower officials thought that the prefect of Zong said very well, so it would be better to establish a large village in Baqiao Town and let the lower officials take charge of it!"

Qian Gai nodded, "Okay! Just do this... We will gather our troops to Jingzhao Mansion! Zhao Kai raised an army to seek rebellion, and the profit was due to the rapidity. We would not let him go, so we would drag him in Jingzhao Mansion for three or five months. The morale of his army will inevitably be in chaos, and it would not be difficult to kill him again."

Really not difficult?

I hope so!

The military officers present were a little confused... The field battle is not good, and it is not easy to win by defending the city! Moreover, Jingzhao Prefecture City was established in the late Tang Dynasty. It has been more than 200 years since then, and it has not been much repaired during this period... Can it really be defended?

......

"Official family! There is already the Suide Army in front of it, and the front team of the Selected Front Army has reached the Wuding River... There is no enemy defense on both sides of the Wuding River, and our army can cross the river at any time!"

Several fast horses rushed back from the front as if they were flying. The knights on the horse were sweating profusely, and they were not wearing armor. The sleeves of the purple long clothes were curled up high.

They were all cavalry from the Selected Front Army led by Han Shizhong, Liu Qi and Yue Fei, who came to report to Zhao Kai about the combat situation of the surprise attack on the Suide Army.

Zhao Kai also had a large group of soldiers and horses resting on the ground. The soldiers gathered together and chewed their food. Everyone looked tired, but their morale was extremely high.

They are all "shareholders". How can they not work hard and not be too expensive?

This time, Zhao Kai marched towards Shaanxi in two directions. The three armies of the left army were led by Zhao Kai and Han Shizhong. After leaving Taiyuan, they crossed the Luliang Mountain westward, crossed the Yellow River on the border of the Jinning Army, and rushed straight to Suide Army and Yan'an Prefecture.

The front, right and rear armies marched towards Hezhong, Jiezhou and Shanzhou under the leadership of Huang Wuji and Li Xiaozhong.

According to the decree issued by Zhao Kai when he went to war, all soldiers who followed the officials must be prepared to not sleep for three days and three nights!

Because only in this way can they complete the journey from Taiyuan Prefecture to Yan'an Prefecture in the shortest time!

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu and others were waiting for Zhao Kai in Jingzhao Prefecture, but Zhao Kai was not in a hurry to attack Jingzhao Prefecture, but wanted to first take Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road and other Western Army troops. Then they mobilized the camp archers of the Western Army and the children of the camp in the village, and finally forced them to the Yongxing Army Road in Guanzhong together.

The reason for this arrangement is of course because Zhao Kai’s subordinates know the Western Army so well and Shaanxi so well!

Can you not understand? Han Shizhong, Liu Qi, Zhang Jun, Huang Wuji, Xiang Ke and others are all Western Army, and there is also Tong Guan who has served as the top leader of the Western Army for a long time!

These people don’t understand the Liao army, Jin army, and how can they not know the details of the Western army and Shaanxi?

Although Shaanxi is poor and poor, it is far inferior to the Central Plains, Bashu, and Southeast, Shaanxi is the main source of troops of the Song Dynasty!

There are more than 100,000 archers in Shaanxi and more than 100,000 families in the camp. The addition of these two is almost 300,000 "samurai"!

The hometown of these "Shaanxi Warriors" is not in Guanzhong, but in Huanqing Road, Fuyan Road, Qinfeng Road, Xihe Road, Jingyuan Road and other five roads along the border.

If Zhao Kai controls these five routes, he can immediately mobilize the archers and the soldiers in the village to join the army, and the army is within reach of 100,000 and 200,000 troops. Moreover, these 100,000 and 200,000 troops can still have good quality... It is difficult to train soldiers in the cold weapon era! If a place does not have military traditions and wants to train soldiers, is it extremely great?

In addition, the five border routes along Shaanxi are still the largest origin of war horses in the Song Dynasty today, and of course they are also the main source of the Song Dynasty cavalry (soldiers who can truly ride horses and fight).

Only with soldiers and horses can there be hope for resisting the Jin Dynasty!

While the rider was rewarding, Zhao Kai was sitting cross-legged on the ground, chewing a hard-earned bread. When he heard the news about Wudinghe Wubei, he threw the cake to Guo Tiannu, and then laughed: "Okay... I can have a good sleep in Suide Army City tonight! He is N, and this official family is not easy to take! Since he reached the prime, he hasn't even had a stable sleep!"

He was a great loss for the emperor, and even a comfortable sleep became a luxury!

At this time, Chen Ji's voice sounded not far away: "Official family, you have to march with everyone tonight... It's not enough to just enter the Suide army. At least you have to take down Yan'an Prefecture so that we can have a good rest!"

After hearing this, a group of soldiers and generals around him couldn't help but look at him with a very unkind look.

This Chen Ji turned out to be "Chen Pai"! It's so hateful that you don't let everyone sleep well!

However, Zhao Kai, the "big boss", nodded. He knew that Chen Ji was right!

Now is indeed a critical moment. If Zhang Shen cannot take advantage of the fact that he is unprepared to take over the Yan'an Prefecture of the Fuyan Road, and give Zhang Shen the opportunity to recruit troops and set up defenses in Yan'an... the consequences are unbearable!

Zhao Kai looked around and said, "It's better to be tired now than to die in the future! Let's work harder and rest for three days when we arrive in Yan'an..."

What he wants most now is to sleep for three days and three nights!

"One day!" Chen Ji and Chen Bapi quickly corrected, "Only one day!"

Chen Ji then said, "Your Majesty... the more territory we take, the faster we move, the more afraid the people in Jingzhao Mansion will be!

If Brother Han and his second brother can successfully take Shanzhou and cut off the liaison between Jingzhao Prefecture and Luoyang, the people of Jingzhao Prefecture will be even more shaken. Maybe we will get it without a fight!"

"Yes," Zhao Kai nodded, "The best strategy is to defeat others without fighting! If we pass the order, we have not won yet, and you must work hard!"

Chen Ji thought of another plan at this time and said to Zhao Kai: "Officials, we can also send cavalry from Shaanxi to bring notices that the Kaifeng Prefecture was flooded and the death of the late emperor, and the death of the crown prince first, could also post them everywhere. They could also say that the court had a rebellious minister and the death of the crown prince first... That was why we concealed the news that the Kaifeng Prefecture was flooded and the death of the crown prince first! Otherwise, how could the crown prince not come to Guanzhong to recruit loyal and righteous people who dare to fight to avenge his father?"

Zhao Kai nodded again: "I'm right... the hatred of the country and family are irreconcilable! If you want to take revenge, you must come to Shaanxi, because only Shaanxi has elite soldiers who can avenge the Song Dynasty!"
Chapter completed!
