I became the son of Renzong

He didn't know that he was hiding in the post house, and the people of Bianliang, even children, knew that Song Dynasty was going to take back Yanyun.

"You sent troops?"

"Oh, how fresh! The leading troops should have almost arrived at Hebei Road. By the way, you don't understand. Now the track north of my Great Song Dynasty has stopped the entire line of the pro-democracy passenger transport, and all serve the front line. This is called a state of first-level combat readiness... ... Oh, you don't understand!"

This is just the gate supervisor of Honglu Temple...

At this time, the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty were not in the mood to consider the issue of courtesy, and their minds were full of the concept of sending troops from the Song Dynasty...

This is sending troops?Envoys have already been sent, that is, they still want to talk for a while, no matter whether Daliao will agree to the request, shouldn't there be back and forth?

Even some time ago, the Great Song Dynasty sent envoys to the north, and the Daliao court also had embassy companions to accompany them to waste time.How can someone send troops without saying a word?

Originally, Daliao also hoped to use the time of sending envoys from both sides to steadily annihilate the rebels, and then take advantage of the great victory to turn southward and drive the Song army back to the border line three years ago.

Who would have thought that Song Guo would send troops at this time!

Isn't the Song Dynasty always known as the orthodox dynasty?How could you send troops for the rebels?No, the rebel army was wiped out. At this time, Song Guo sent troops to the north, and there was no suspicion of encouraging rebellion... Why didn't I think of it?

What the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty should consider now is whether their own mission can go back...

They didn't want to go into Honglu Temple any more, just like this at the gate of Honglu Temple, after listening to a few words from the gate supervisor, the Beiliao mission turned back.

When I turned back, I no longer had the arrogance I had when I first came out, and was completely gloomy.At this time, they also figured out why the people of Song Dynasty in the streets looked at them like that...

"This envoy wants the general to bring a message and tell the court of the Song Dynasty that this envoy's mission is difficult to accomplish, so I request to go back!"

Obviously the guard of this posthouse is an idler, an ordinary soldier, and the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty had no choice but to call him such a respectful name against his will.

There is no way, he needs to go back now and bring the news to the court as soon as possible.

"Hey, the little one has become a general too? Hehe. I'm not afraid you know that from the day you entered the post, Shangfeng has explained that you will not interfere with the behavior of the mission and others, and you can stay as you like. !"

"Haha...ha... Seems like it? The court has long forgotten about you, or thought that you have already left. It would be strange to know about it in the inn waiting in the sky!"

"If you want to go, hurry up, pack your luggage and go. The little one is done, there will be no such things in the future, and the little one is going to be on duty in the martial arts hall..."

Yes, indeed, even Duting Station, the post house specially set up for the Northern Liao Dynasty, will be revoked, that is to say, Song State is here to start a war with Daliao.

This news needs to be reported to the imperial court as soon as possible... This time is definitely not a small local war, it is very likely to be a war of overwhelming the country, and this battle may determine the fate of the two dynasties.

Even the gate supervisor of Honglu Temple and the guards of the posthouse said so, that is to say, Song Guo recruited soldiers in this way in their dynasty.

The envoys of Beiliao were very anxious. After entering the post house, they just cleaned up a few things symbolically, fed the horses, and left in a hurry.

He hoped that he would still have time in such a hurry, and that he could bring the news to the court before the Song Dynasty launched a war...

Don't worry too much, there is definitely time.Because, the Song Dynasty sent troops to send troops, not to start a war directly.

Even though this battle has been brewing for many years, there are many things that need to be prepared for a war that will overwhelm the country.

For such a large-scale war, the imperial court of the country did not think about keeping it secret. After all, the previous public opinion has already mobilized the people's desire for war to the highest point.At this time, the gathering of troops to go north is in line with the will of the people, and it also allows the people of the Song Dynasty to see the great rise of the Song Dynasty court!

First-level combat readiness, sending troops to the north, and gathering troops all require a process. It is impossible to directly fight Beiliao at the moment the court reaches an agreement.

Moreover, at this time, Beiliao was still engaged in the best decisive battle to annihilate the rebels.

It’s not that the Song Dynasty was playing with Song Xianggong’s benevolent and righteous teacher or something. The court of the Song Dynasty is not that stupid. The reason for not doing it for the time being is because the court of the Song Dynasty also hopes that the rebels will be wiped out...

The imperial court is the imperial court, no matter which imperial court, it should be consistent in its position on dealing with rebels.

At the same time, many things before the war need to be prepared, and it is understandable that the rescue of those poor people who want to be disarmed and returned to the fields will be delayed in the end. What about the rebels?

Chapter 922 War Horse

In the first-level combat readiness state, all soldiers in the team must be ready for battle, ready to be on duty at all times, and ready for battle.Not only that, even retired veterans may be recalled, and all means of transportation are given priority to soldiers!As for private enterprises, they are also preparing to produce military products. In a word: they must meet the needs of the military!

Zhao Xi is familiar with the first-level combat readiness of later generations. In view of the current actual situation, the first-level combat readiness formulated by Zhao Xi is almost copied except for some content restricted by the era.

Before the first level of war preparation was ordered, the public opinion of the country had already reached a peak against sending troops to the north, and the people of the Song Dynasty were fully able to cooperate and support the country's war preparation at this time.

It also really appeared in the Guochao Dynasty. The retired soldiers who are already local government servants are applying for enlistment to fight again...

"The hearts of the people are available!"

"The hearts of the people are available and must not be lost. The reason for having such hearts is because they all believe that the imperial court can win this war, or have such expectations. Once the battlefield is defeated, the hearts of the people gathered in this way will collapse very quickly. of."

The cabinet did not lose its rational judgment because of the turmoil in the country.

However, compared to the state of the previous wartime, the cabinet at this time was relatively relaxed when discussing matters.After all, Da Song's today is different from the past, and he really has the strength to regain Yanyun.

"Officials, judging from the current statistics and requests from the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, the country's active and retired soldiers can reach 170 million troops."

"Since the implementation of the military service law of the country, more than 70 soldiers have replaced retired soldiers, and nearly 15 active soldiers. In addition, the Fan Cavalry Team has [-] main teams, [-] auxiliary Fan Cavalry, and Fan Cavalry who signed up later. Riding, nearly [-]..."

"There are also orbital soldiers, mine city guards, workshop city guards, water transport soldiers, etc., who have also enthusiastically signed up to join the battle. There is no shortage of troops in the country!"

"It's just that because the Dangxiang, Tubo and other tribes are keen to participate in the war and gain military exploits themselves, the imperial court's acquisition of war horses is not smooth. The Panqi Zheng team has just been able to maintain one person and two horses. It wants to achieve the Northern Liao's one person three horses. To a certain extent, the shortage of war horses is too large."

"Even if it is the auxiliary fan cavalry, and the fan cavalry team behind, it is difficult to achieve three cavalry with one person."

In this battle, although chariots and infantry are still the main battlefield, since the Northern Liao Dynasty is dominated by cavalry, cavalry battles will definitely have a great impact on the battle situation.

Zhang Dun knew very well that he must clearly report the current status of the cavalry.

From the perspective of preparations for first-level combat readiness, war horses are the only gaps.

"How about the horses used by the track?"

"Returning to the official's house, the track horses are mostly used for retired war horses and cannot be requisitioned for battle."

Before Xue Xiang could reply, Zhang Dun picked up.Track horses, from the earlier draft horses, have been replaced by retired war horses over the years, which is considered a big boost, but this is only for the track.

This battle is so critical that it is really impossible to requisition the orbital horses.Ordinarily the official should be clear...

"I'm not talking about requisitioning rail horses, but I'm asking whether the rail-transported horses can meet the needs of this war?"

"Back to the official's house, there is a sufficient reserve of track horses. I have already calculated that even if it was damaged during the war, the current horse reserve of the country is enough to last until the end of the war. The reserve in three or two years."

"In addition, General Gao mobilized tens of thousands of Yunnan horses from the southwest. Although they are difficult to use as war horses, the endurance of the Yunnan horses is enough for rail transportation!"

There is no problem with this, the rest is the horse.War horses...Northwest, Beiliao, Jurchen, these are the places where war horses are produced...

"How about the fourth prince?"

"Returning to the official's house, I have already contacted. Jurchen fought against the Northern Liao court in the early stage, not to mention the damage. There are countless horses requisitioned by the Northern Liao court. Even if there are, the number is not enough to meet the country's war horses."

For this war, the court has been preparing for a long time.The storage of war horses should be easy, but in the later period, it was unexpected that nobles such as Dangxiang and Tubo tended to participate in the war, which suddenly led to a shortage of war horses.
