In the following days, still maintained a high-intensity marching speed.
Wu Tiantai was not rushed by General Tongda to work as a husband in the Fire Head Army, but Wu Da ran to the Fire Head Army by himself.
The reason is very simple. The carriages they drove for supplies were already empty, and Wuhan University laid a pile of hay very carelessly, and lay on the carriages to sleep.
Wu Da's status in the army is very special. Although he has a record of joining the army, no one has seen him go to the military tent to participate in military affairs. Besides, everyone knows that he once offered pumpkins, which is the royal seal of your majesty. The fifth-rank Chenliu county, the holy family is strong, as long as General Tong Da has no objection, the soldiers will pretend not to see.
As for whether this move by Wuhan University violated military discipline, naturally no one mentioned it.
…
After the Song and Liao countries signed the "Chanyuan Alliance", the Northern Song Empire and the Liao Kingdom became a sibling state. The two sides broke the arrow and pledged to live together in peace for generations, never to meet each other in arms and brothers.
For the Northern Song Dynasty, this move was a last resort, and the monarch and his subjects held a sigh of relief in their hearts, and they were very entangled.
Helplessly inferior to others, at any rate, there is no need to worry about the big-waisted neighbor next to him breaking into the "porcelain shop" of Song Dynasty at every turn and hitting the ground in a mess.
It doesn't matter if Yan Yun doesn't mention the old place, anyway, if you don't come back, you can't think about it, so just let it go. In general, this pair of friendly nations who seem to be in harmony with each other and keep small actions in private, finally held the bottom line, and there has been no large-scale conflict since the signing of the covenant.
It has been a long time since the Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty died down. The Great Song Empire, which had been slaughtered, war-torn, and raging on the border, had calmed down somehow, the sound of fighting ceased, and the smoke and dust had already reached hundreds. This year’s peace is a boon for the people of both countries.
Although in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty, Qiang tribes rebelled one after another, and Xixia people repeatedly attacked the Song Dynasty. However, Xixia is a small country with poor people and limited strength. A small country cannot set off any big storms. Da Song's army was able to withstand this kind of small bully who took advantage of the fire to rob.
What's more, Tong Guan has been in charge of soldiers for more than 20 years, and he has already made the northwest into a monolithic piece. In this Northern Expedition, Jin Guo assisted him, so he has full confidence in this trip.
All generals in charge of the army have a deep understanding of such a truth, and only by constantly asking for credit can they keep their high-ranking officials.
To kidnap personal interests and Da Song's destiny together is a mature master's scheming.
Therefore, for this Northern Expedition, the army of the Song Dynasty was extremely unified.
However, even though Song Huizong’s arbitrariness forced down the anti-war factions above the court and kept the same calibre to the outside world, Tong Guan and Wu Da were still very worried. They were always worried that Cai Jing, the old man, would make trouble. .
What's more, this time the Liao State suddenly provoked and took the initiative to sway the army south, which was extremely strange, so although Tong Guan had been marching in a hurry, he did not relax his investigation of the situation in Bianjing.
The strange thing is that in Bianjing, the situation is calm and nothing happens.
The two old foxes of Wuhan University and Tong Guan, one big and one small, were a little confused, and could only take one step at a time, speeding up and rushing to the front line.
…
At the beginning, Wuhan University was still calculating the time, but as the team got closer and closer to the northern battlefield, the weather became colder and colder.
Every day, Wu Da ate and slept, slept and ate, so confused, it opened the eyes of many soldiers.
Wu Dadang was the first person in the Song Dynasty to live so comfortably in the army.
General Tong Da, still uphold the attitude of letting it go.
The reason is simple, Wuhan University has made enough contributions to the army in secret.
First, General Wu mixed at home and sent Ding Mao out of the group.
Ding Mao's martial arts is extremely high, and he was born in the Seven Star Alliance. With more than a dozen spies, he has quietly rushed to the front line to inquire about the news;
Secondly, Wuhan University offered advice to General Tong Da, and sent people to infiltrate the sixteen states of Yanyun to spread rumors.
The Sixteen States of Yanyun was originally a territory of the Song Dynasty, and they were all my Chinese people. It was just that after the establishment of the Liao Kingdom by Khitan that year, the Sixteen States of Yanyun were forcibly occupied.
The people of the Song Dynasty who infiltrated the Sixteenth State of Yanyun did not provoke the people to join forces with the Song Dynasty to attack the Liao, but to retreat to the next best place. The main expression is that this time the Song Dynasty army suppressed the territory, aimed at saving the people, not exclusively killing. , You and others should work hard as early as possible.
Those with officials return to the old times, and those with fields return to the same business as before. If you can be a hero and stand alone, you will be a good person and an official position, and you will be rewarded with gold and silk; if you can return from one state to one county, you will be appointed by the state or county;
If there is a hero to offer Yanjing, he will not stick to the soldiers and soldiers, even if he has not appointed an official (though not an official), he will be in the same area with the Jiedushi, giving one hundred thousand guan to the mansion.
However, I was trying my best to carry the prisoners together, and return to the Han Yongbao to the joy of glory, and the return of the Khitan tribes was also the same as the Han people.
Soldiers who have been ordained are not allowed to kill a husband, succumb or comatose disrespectfully. In Ying Khitan, everything is removed.
Although the soldiers entered the boundary, all the needed food, grass, carts and cattle scraps did not make the Yan people provide them, and they were still exempt from tax for two years.
This is to build momentum, not to win the soldiers without fighting, but to make the Liao country be overwhelmed.
…
I don't know how long it took, everyone finally rushed to the front line.
Since it was during the war, everything was simple, but there was not too much to welcome the team.
After arriving at the destination, Wu Da confided in the crowd and hid his figure, no longer acting alone.
Wu University carefully looked at these soldiers who rushed to the front line in advance, and frowned slightly.
The camp is full of wounded soldiers, and there are wailing wounded soldiers everywhere;
Morale was low, and Da Song was caught off guard by the Liao Kingdom. Although no large-scale battle broke out in an all-round way, Da Song suffered a disastrous defeat in several small and medium-scale battles, which severely hit Da Song's army.
Although Wu Da had known that wars were always going to kill people, it was still a bit miserable to see this scene.
He was just a record in the army. Although General Tong Da gave him face, he could not arbitrarily point out his hands, so Wu Da arrived very leisurely.
At the same time, Ding Mao came.
According to the intelligence collected by Ding Mao, the main reason for the fiasco of the Song Dynasty was that apart from being caught off guard, the most important thing was that the soldiers and horses from the Central Plains could not adapt to the bitter cold here.
The weather was too cold, which seriously affected the combat effectiveness of the soldiers.
The Khitan warriors of the Liao Kingdom were morale like a rainbow.
General Tong Da is very busy.
He is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition, and all military movements need to be ordered by him personally.
…
A few days later, the refusal stakes and the refusal carbine have arrived one after another, and the number has been sufficient to support a large-scale battle.
General Tong Guantong personally took command and led one hundred thousand loyal troops and cavalry headed by Xiaoqi Camp to the Liao State.
Wuhan University, accompanying.
