The key to the decades of peace in the Song Dynasty, how many veterans with combat experience exist?

These veterans are physically rigid and physically weak, so even if Di Qing is trained, they will not be able to train well. Moreover, this proportion will not be large, and the entire army will not account for 5%.

The number of troops has not declined significantly, and the amount of money will not be spent on resettlement of military retirement fees.

There are also a group of people who can also affect their combat effectiveness. For example, if they are weak, some are caused by nutrition or not, and most people are born because of this. If they are trained, they will not be able to train for strong soldiers.

If you have a wife and children at home, you are too concerned about it, especially the newly recruited soldiers who have been forced to recruit. They will try every means to save their lives during the battle. Can a soldier who is afraid of death fight a good battle?

Once the two groups of people are removed, many of them will be eliminated, accounting for at least more than 30% of the current army.

However, after hearing Di Qing's words, Zheng Lang did not dare to move.

Zheng Lang said the fourth thing again: "When I came, I brought two disciples, one named Chang Mingde and the other named Liu Xuanrui. They said that Fan Zhongyan was good at guarding. Under his management, Yanfu Road now seems to be an iron wall. Fan Zhongyan arrived in Huanqing again and continued to operate Huanqing Road. As you said, the terrain is more beneficial to these two roads. Then he wanted to attack only two places, one was Fulin and the second was Jingyuan Road."

"It's reasonable," Di Qing was not surprised.

He himself did not take himself seriously, and would Zheng Lang's disciples be worse?

"I have a plan in my mind. Although our army was defeated in Sanchuankou and Haoshuichuan, Yuanhao was not feeling well. He would have to rest for at least several months before he could launch the next wave of attack. If he attacked Jingyuan Road, we would work together to defend the territory for the court. If he attacked Linfu, we might as well attack once and cooperate with Linfu. What are your good ways?"

Di Qing pondered.

Until now, he would no longer think that Yuan Hao could only mobilize 100,000 troops.

Of course, Yuan Hao could not use the power of the entire country. The cost required by 100,000 troops to go to war was almost the limit of Yuan Hao's financial resources.

Even if Yuan Hao goes to war, there are still many troops in the territory that can be used.

However, the main army must be taken away by Yuan Hao.

It is also Yuan Shanglin Mansion, one in the northeast corner and the other in the south, which is beyond reach, and it seems to be an opportunity.

But this is a real entry into the enemy territory. Although Jingyuan has increased its troops, it only goes all the way... I thought for a long time and said, "I can't think of a good idea for the time being. Can I give my subordinates a few more days?"

"It's okay."

The next day, Zheng Lang returned to Langgan City with a thousand elite soldiers recruited from Di Qing.

Zhao Xun had transferred 30,000 troops, and Jingtai was also here.

But in order to confuse the enemy, Zhao Xun recruited the army in Jingbianzhai in the name of repairing village forts.

Here we are closer to Mawu and the rebellious troops that Dangliu had.

Zheng Lang and Jingtai rushed to Jingbian Village with more than 700 foreign soldiers and Di Qing's army.

The leader of Jingbian Village was Liu Hu, who acted as the commander of Wating Village. When Haoshuichuan was defeated, the Xixia army marched straight in, and the castles along the border half-closed the city gates, causing most residents to be plundered. Only Liu Kaimen recruited refugees, and the border people called Liu Kaimen.

But his name is recorded in history, which is another matter. Shuiluo City is located on the east side of Mu Ningchuan, which is about to fight.

Zhao Xun asked timidly: "Mr. Zheng, what else do you have to give?"

Zheng Lang became a hand-off manager, but Zhao Xun was unsure.

This new commander is definitely not an incompetent person like Fan Yong. On the contrary, in the battle of Wulongchuan, I heard that it was his own command.

This time, Zhao Xun was almost unplugged, but his heart was over and over.

"Go, I'll wait for your great victory to spend, but when the war is over, I'll go to the battlefield to take a look."

It would be dangerous to go to the battlefield, but Zhao Xun glanced at the more than a thousand soldiers behind Zheng Lang without saying a word. If there was still danger, the situation on Jingyuan Road would be completely corrupt.

Zheng Lang stayed in Jingbian Village.

Zhao Xun's army marched south in a mighty way and quickly passed by Kui Wuchuan. Below was Mu Ningchuan, where the target of Dangliu and Mawu were located.

Zheng Lang received a letter from Jingbian Village, which was written by Yin Zhu.

Because Zheng Lang requested, many personnel transfers were made to Jingyuan Road. It turned out that Teng Zongliang was the governor of Jingzhou, and was transferred to Yuanzhou. The governor of Yuanzhou was Yin Zhu, and he was transferred to Huanqing Road.

Yin Zhu wrote a letter to Zheng Lang, "You are not kind, I'm fine in Yuanzhou, why did you transfer me to Huanqing Road and to Ningzhou in the rear?" I disagree. I came to the northwest to fight, so you have to get me back."

Zheng Lang was amused and crying.

He only asked for two things, one was Zhang Fangping, who offered many strategies to see how capable he was. Even so, he did not dare to put him in the Zhenrong Army.

As for another state, Wonju, is it Yoon Soo or Teng Zongliang?

However, this kid probably felt dissatisfied with Fan Zhongyan because of the defeat of Haoshuichuan and was unwilling to serve under Fan Zhongyan. He wanted to go to the country but Pang Ji did not provide Han Qi. Yin Zhu was also a little dissatisfied, so he wanted to run back and continue to Jingyuan Road.

But it wasn't his final say, so he asked himself to write to Zhao Zhen to make a new personnel transfer.

Why bother, but looking at the north, thinking to myself, Fan Zhongyan, your big trouble is coming.

Too lazy to argue with them.

This beach of water is even muddy than the Yellow River, so don’t tide it yourself.

It cannot be said that these gentlemen will be filled with righteous indignation. What, we are all gentlemen. You actually say that we are even more turbid than the water of the Yellow River!

Seeing that the time was almost the same, he said to Jingtai: "General Jing, let's go."

Jingtai is an underrated general on Jingyuan Road. Not only himself, but his two sons also performed well in the future, and they sacrificed their lives on the battlefield one after another, and the whole family was loyal and brave.

Not only Jingtai, but also Guo Kui transferred from Yanzhou.

Go south slowly.

He also set out from Kui Wuchuan and headed to Muningchuan.

The war was more complicated than Zhao Xun thought. The reason why Ma Si and the Party dared to storm the fortress and the people was because there were blind felt behind them.

Seeing the Song army coming to attack, many tribes took the initiative to join in support of the Party and the Ma Si.

Maybe they were very brave in themselves, and they saw that the Song army was defeated by Shuichuan, and thought that the Song army was very weak.

However, this loose organization has seriously reduced the combat effectiveness.

Although there were many tribes participating, Zhao Xun led the army to an unprecedented level. He killed countless enemies, captured thousands of soldiers, and also many cattle, horses and sheep.

Zhao Xun asked Liu Hu to take care of these spoils and prisoners and continue to cover up and kill.

Originally, this battle was already fierce enough, and Zheng Lang's orders were ordered to be hit hard, so Zhao Xun was even more fierce than in history.

When Zheng Lang arrived, Liu Hu was ordering the rear army to escort prisoners and livestock, and continue to move south with the army.

Looking at these prisoners, Zheng Lang couldn't help but ask: "General Liu, how many Qiang people have participated in the battle?"

The intelligence said that there were only a few hundred accounts, and the Qiang people had a household, but the calculation method was different. The Qiang people had a higher population than the Song Dynasty. However, there were only a few hundred accounts. Of course, Zheng Lang knew that there were more than a few hundred accounts, and Zhao Xun also knew that it would definitely not be Dangliu and Mawu who participated in the war. But looking at these dense prisoners of war, Zheng Lang was still very surprised.

Liu Hu replied: "Zheng Gong, since Wuchuan, many tribes have been not very loyal to our dynasty. This time, the various tribes of Wuchuan saw that our dynasty's army was powerful and took the initiative to avoid it, otherwise more tribes involved in the rebellion would be involved."

Zheng Lang remained silent.

He thought of Shuiluo City.

Shuiluo City is very far away from the front line, but reading history books, Zheng Lang also believes that it is very inexplicable to build a city here, unless the finger is directed at these Qiang people. However, in the face of the great enemy, the Qiang people must take pacification measures. If this city is set up, not only will the troops be divided, but the Qiang people will also have bad ideas in their hearts.

It seems that the construction of Shuiluo City is not useless.

Zheng Lang didn’t want to think about the grudges and hatreds, so he rode his horse on Gaogang, and Nanjian was the battlefield.

It was a little far away and there was no war. Zhao Xun was slowly continuing to move south with his army. The 30,000 troops were winding like a long dragon, passing through the green mountains and green waters.

Zheng Lang said: "Come on."

Liu Hu led the rear army to escort the prisoners and continued to move south.

Zheng Lang said to Chang Mingde: "Chang Mingde, have you thought of a word?"

After this battle, Chang Mingde was asked to go to Kangu City and lobby for the blind felt. In history, this time, the meaning of the blind felt was very great. Unfortunately, a group of civil officials in the court did not know the significance of it, so they did not even reward Zhao Xun.

But it can be done a little better.

After this battle, Zheng Lang will magnify its results infinitely.

Not only did it make the blind felt sincere and honest, but the rear was stable, and there was a city and Agan City, and maybe it could be dragged into the water, but it was also in the west...

Zheng Lang couldn't estimate how much it would be. He only knew that it would be beneficial to use it properly.

"I'm doing my best," said Chang Mingde. After this battle, I knocked on the door of the blind felt, which shook his roots, but it was difficult for him to come in person.

"I will cooperate more." Zheng Lang said.

After climbing over two short hills and a small river valley, a scout suddenly came to report: "Zheng Gong, General Liu, thousands of cavalry attacked behind him."

"Prepare for war!" Zheng Lang said.

Have known it for a long time!

At this time, Liu Hu's army had few soldiers, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled. Once the attack was successful, thousands of prisoners of war would assist in resisting, and Liu Hu would inevitably be defeated. Even prisoners could use the weapons of the Song army to arm themselves to resist the suppression of the Song army.

But without him, the problem doesn't matter.

However, Zheng Lang came not only to assist Zhao Xun in expanding his results, but also to train troops. He wanted to see how brave the hundreds of Jurchen warriors brought from the Northeast were.

The birth of Jurchen warriors in history books has become a legend. They have been together until now, and they know that they are fierce. But Zheng Lang doesn’t know how fierce they are. If they are really as powerful as recorded in history books, even if they spend a lot of money, they will have to get a 3,500 warrior to come and select some soldiers from the Song army, and organize a powerful vanguard army. There are also famous generals in the northwest, such as Zhong Shiheng, Di Qing, and Wang Xin. Maybe this surprise soldier will have an unexpected effect.

So it was more than a day late to set off before they caught up and prevented them from participating in the battle of Zhao Xun's main army. It was for this moment that with fewer enemies and more, they could see their true strength.

Liu Hu didn't know that, climbed to the heights, and watched the large smoke swelling up, and the dense enemies came, and said worriedly: "Mr. Zheng, you should lead people south first to General Zhao's main army."

"Did Geng Fu give up when he joins the military?"
