Chapter 779

"I have seen General Zhong." Zhe Keshi stepped forward quickly, and bowed deeply to the teacher Zhong who led [-] elites to Yanzhou.

Zhong Shidao quickly stretched out his hand to support Zhe Keshi and said with a smile. "You and I don't have to be so different from each other. Su Xueshi is still in Huanzhou preparing to mobilize troops from various places. As soon as he received Wang Jinglue's military report, he ordered Zhong to lead [-] elite troops who were ready to reinforce Yanzhou. "

"With Brother Taoist Master guarding Yanzhou, I feel more at ease. I'm going to set off immediately and rush to Xinyanzhou and Baishi City in case Xingqing Mansion comes to attack in a large scale." Zhe Kexi supported his waist. The war horses in the room looked at the frontier soldiers behind Zhongshi Road who were hurried along the concrete straight road, and explained to Zhongshi Road.

"Baishi City and New Yanzhou are probably short of troops. Even with your [-] fine cavalry to restrain them, these two places..." Zhong Shidao couldn't help frowning, and said worriedly.

"What Zhe is worried about is Baishi City. After all, although Baishi City has been repaired and reinforced, the walled city is not big and the number of soldiers it can accommodate is limited. Currently, there are only two thousand frontier troops and four thousand side troops guarding it.

The walls of New Yanzhou are high and deep, and they are extremely strong. The [-] elite frontier troops stationed in Yanzhou have already set up defenses there, and there are [-] side troops to assist in the defense, so there should be no worries. "

"Since the situation in Baishi City is so severe, why not abandon Baishi City? Didn't Wang Wushan once say that as long as the new Yanzhou City has enough soldiers and horses, it will be able to rely on the old Yanzhou City? ?" Zhong Shidao asked Zhe Keshi in astonishment.

In the past, it was not uncommon to give up some strongholds once it was found that the situation was irreversible.As long as after the war, try to regain it.

"If Baishi City is lost, then there will be no support on the west side of Youzhou, and the Xixia soldiers and horses from Xingqing Mansion can drive straight in and join the Liaoxia coalition forces in the east." Zhe Keshi shook his head slowly and explained .

Zhong Shidao suddenly realized, and patted his forehead with some annoyance, stunned, how could he forget this. "Since this is the case, it is not appropriate to place the [-] soldiers and horses in Yanzhou."

"This time a certain division led [-] cavalry and [-] infantry, and [-] troops will arrive in Yanzhou later. If this is the case, why not let the [-] infantry continue to march towards the new Yanzhou, and you I will each lead [-] cavalry to reinforce Baishi City."

When Master Zhong said this, Zhe Keshi's eyes suddenly lit up and he clapped his hands. "If you and I each lead [-] elite cavalry, with Baishi City as the axis, the army of Xingqing Mansion will not dare to attack Baishi City with all its strength, and even if the Liaoxia coalition forces want to divide their troops to join Xingqing Mansion, they must Think first about how many troops you need to send before you can be sure."

"Even if the Xingqing Mansion goes out in full force, the number of soldiers and horses cannot exceed one hundred thousand, unless Li Qianshun doesn't even want his own king. Don't forget, there are still many people in the north of Xixia who are not willing to submit to Xixia. ruling tribe."

After the two made up their minds, they sent people to Huanzhou to report their plan to Xueshi Su, and Zhe Kezhi led the army to Baishi City first, while Zhong Shidao led [-] soldiers and horses to bypass the old Yanzhou and go straight to the city. At Xinyanzhou, as soon as Su Xueshi's military order arrives, Zhong Shidao will ride directly to Baishi City to meet up with Zhe Keshi.

"The Heqing Army, Jinsu Army, and Ningbian Prefecture Army from Xijing Road in the Liao Kingdom moved frequently and forced us into Fengzhou. In addition, the Wuzhou Army from the Liao Kingdom arrived at Ningyuan Village and confronted our Kelan Army from afar. Shuozhou soldiers and horses approached Daizhou Yan The gate, Yingzhou soldiers and horses pointed at Fanzhen..."

"The pressure on the northern part of the East Road in the Great Song Dynasty is too great. At this time, it is almost impossible to deploy troops and horses to help Shaanxi Road."

"As for Hebei East Road and Hebei West Road, they are also under a lot of pressure at present, and military reports from various places are frequently delivered to Bianliang."

Han Zhongyan was sitting behind the desk, listening to the reports of the military situation by the officials and generals under his command. Although he was calm on the surface, his fingers that kept tapping on the desk revealed his inner unease.

"The Liao Kingdom and our Great Song Dynasty have always been rivals. It is very clear that if we want to reinforce the Shaanxi Road, then our border defense will inevitably be empty. At that time, the Liao Kingdom's army will go south, and our army will have to retreat. If you lose ground on the east road, you will be guilty of a serious crime..."

"Nowadays, in order to cope with the pressure brought by the army of the Liao Kingdom on our east road, all the armies in the south have been transferred northward one after another. There is really no extra reinforcements."

"However, Your Majesty has this intention. Could it be that we on Hedong Road just sit idly by seeing the land of the three states on Shanxi Road being besieged by hundreds of thousands of Liao and Xia coalition forces? At that time, if the land of the three states is lost, I will not be able to bear the guilt." Get up."

"Enough!" In the end, after listening to the quarrels and arguments for nearly half an hour, Han Zhongyan became impatient no matter how good his temper was.

"Three prefectures in the north of Shaanxi Road are under heavy pressure from the Liaoxia coalition forces. If the generals of Hedong Road just sit back and ignore them, they can't do anything out of emotion and reason." Han Zhongyan said slowly and in a deep voice.

At this moment, although some officials who opposed the rescue of Shaanxi Road wanted to stand up and defend themselves, they had no choice but to sit back resentfully after seeing Han Zhongyan's gaze.

"Although elites from all corners of the world cannot be easily transferred, the land of Zhuzhou bordering Shaanxi Road can..."

At this time, a general stood up. "Han Prime Minister, it's not that the last general is lying, but now the Heqing Army, Jin Su Army, and Ningbian Prefecture Army from Xijing Road in Liao Kingdom are pointing directly at Fengzhou."

"The Baode Army, Volcano Army, and Fuzhou soldiers and horses have been transferred to Fengzhou for defense. If they are asked to turn back at this time, I am afraid..."

"There is no need to use them. Let the Linzhou and Jinning troops advance westward and send troops to the left wing of the Brave Army Division." Han Zhongyan walked up to the map and stood with his hands behind his back.

"The old man will send a letter to Su Xueshi, telling the Suide army to advance from south to north to Yinzhou. In this way, the Liaoxia coalition forces will have to divide their troops to help. At least, the Xixia soldiers and horses trapped in this land of Yinxia will not Dare to come out in full force, otherwise, even if they take Yan, You, and Hong, we can take the land of Yinxia."

"Boss, you are replacing defense with offense. This is really a good move." An old general stood up and walked over, looking at the positions of the states on the map, and couldn't help but flatter him. passed by.

"Han Xiang, Han Xiang, the military report on Shaanxi Road is here..." At this moment, a small school came quickly, holding a feathered military report in his hand.

"What a Su Dongpo, his thinking actually coincides with the old man's." After opening the military newspaper and reading it carefully, a smile finally appeared on Han Zhongyan's face.

"Su Xueshi has already ordered the Yan'an Mansion and the Suide Army to march northward, approaching Longzhou, while the Dingbian Army and the Security Army are already rushing to Hongzhou to assist in the defense. In addition, Zhong Shidao has led [-] Frontier Army The elite have arrived in Yanzhou."

"In this way, Hongzhou and Yanzhou should be safe for the time being."

All the civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief, but behind Han Zhongyan's happy expression, there was still a deep sense of worry.
