No shortage of walls

Song Xingdao:"Shengzhou Pass has been demolished. Although the eternal pass is in Qingzhou, the issue of Shengzhou cannot be ignored."

Lu Li said:"The two states of Sui Chen are too small, and General Yi Zhouquan has guards, so he is defenseless."

Song Xing said:"It's best this way. I'm not afraid of other places, but I'm a little worried about the old Liao. It hasn't been a war, so I won't make any big mistakes."

Beiming came out and cupped his hands and said,"Your majesty showed great kindness to the five states of the old Liao and exempted them from taxes for five years. It is also said that potatoes, sweet potatoes and other sacred objects entered the old Liao. If the people of the old Liao dared to take advantage of the war to start an uprising, our officers and soldiers of the Song Dynasty would not be polite."

Song Xing said:"According to the reports in the past few years, the old Liao had no defense, but only guarded against people. The heart is indispensable. All generals know that there is no love ceremony comparable to the military love ceremony. If you are not going through war, you must be careful."

Everyone nodded.

Song Xingdao:"Long Quan, how many soldiers and generals do you still have who guarded Yuzhou in the past and those who have recently arrived?"

Long Quan said:"Your Majesty, there were 15,000 men and horses in Yuzhou in the past; the newly trained soldiers are less than 3,000."

Song Xing said:"Then transfer the newly trained sergeants under Lu Li from the old Liao Dynasty to gather thirty thousand people. Go north to Yuzhou Pass. When my signal arrives, we will launch a strong attack and force the people to return to defend themselves." Long

Quan said:"My lord. I obey the order!"

Song Xing said:"You took the blame and were demoted to the fifth rank, and you led the army as the second rank commander. I have spoken to the Empress Dowager! I said that the Empress Dowager interceded for you and said that you were an old subordinate of Prince Jing. Reinstating your position as a second-grade sergeant is still a grievance due to incompetence, so you should accept it."

Long Quan said:"For Your Majesty and for the Song Dynasty, even death is not a problem. I am willing to do it without any grievances."

Song Dynasty said. Xing nodded. He added:"Deputy Commander Liu Ying."

Liu Ying was only twenty-nine years old this year. His father Liu Xiong died in battle, and he was promoted to the second rank of Deputy Commander. At this time, he hurriedly came out and said with cupped hands:"I am here!"

Song Xing said:"You have 30,000 troops. Follow my order and move north to cooperate with Commander Long Quan to attack Qi."

Liu Yingdao:"I obey the order!"

Song Xing said again He said:"Deputy Commander Chu Minghui."

Chu Minghui was originally Liu Xiong's deputy general. He was thirty-nine years old this year. Since Liu Xiong's death, he was afraid that Liu Ying was young and would lead a large team that would be difficult to handle. Then he split them up, each led a team, each recruited troops and horses, and gathered the garrison of the state capital, which numbered thirty thousand. At this time, he hurriedly came out of the queue and said with cupped hands:"I'm here!"

Song Xing said:"You also have nearly 30,000 people in your hands. Like Deputy Commander Liu, the whole army is moving north. The defense of the prefectures and counties is handed over to Lu Li to help Long Quan attack Qi."

"I obey the decree!"

Song Xing said:"Among the three of you, Long Quan is the oldest and is the second rank. Long Quan shall prevail in the war."

The three of them raised their hands together and said:"I obey the order!

Song Xing said:"Commander Yi Zhouquan.""

Yi Zhouquan came out and cupped his hands and said:"I'm here!

Song Xingdao:"You take your 30,000 troops to defend Qingzhou Pass. You were at Qingzhou Pass and are familiar with it. Now you have returned to Qingzhou Pass and act according to the signal.""

"Obey!

Song Xingdao:"Commander Liu Jingyun led 30,000 troops to guard Pingyang Pass.""

Liu Jingyun came out and cupped his hands and said:"I obey the order!"

Song Xingdao,"Commander Xia Feiying and Deputy Commander Zheng Guiwen, you two have lightly moved north to Shengzhou. Listen to Yi Zhouquan, and Commander Liu Jingyun will be your commander. There are more than 45,000 people in your second division. Regarding the camera, Liu Jingyun's army The oldest person is the longest; for emergencies, Commander Liu Jingyun shall prevail."

The ministers accepted the order.

Song Xing said again:"There are 20,000 defenders in the north and south of Dongyangguang. Wu is the commander of the army in the north, the commander of the Changsheng Army is in the south, and the three deputy commanders Zhang Chenggong, Zheng Guiwen, and Lin Daquan. You have recruited troops and horses in the old Liao Dynasty and moved them all eastward to cooperate with Wu as the commander of the Changsheng Army to attack Yue. Among them, Wu is the commander of the army. As the general is the oldest, if there is a sudden camera incident, Wu will be the commander."

All the ministers followed the decree.

The civil and military ministers were moved when they saw that the emperor had arranged very well. All generals respect the elderly. Military generals are most afraid of old age, and they are most afraid that the emperor will despise old generals. Military generals are different from civilian officials. Civilian officials only need to Anyone who is not an old fool and can still walk can be an official; the military general who is old and frail and can no longer mount a horse and carry a sword is often looked down upon by the emperor. Fighting is something that cannot be compared with civilian officials. Many veteran generals would rather die on the battlefield in order to maintain their reputation. , don’t want to come back and be looked down upon, but see the new emperor respecting the old generals, are you moved?

Song Xingdao:"Dear generals, when soldiers go to the battlefield, they often say that they die on the battlefield and are wrapped in horse leather. Fortunately! But I don't like this statement. Although death is inevitable on the battlefield, I hope that all generals can live until the end of their days. In the future, even if you are too old to pick up a sword and mount a horse. Then retreat to the countryside, enjoy your family quietly, have nothing to do, talk to your children and grandchildren, or talk to the villagers in the mountains about what you were proud of back then. Your life is not in vain. I invite all generals to come back next year. The grapes are still there. Eat grapes with the general."

All the civil and military ministers knelt down in unison. Long live Shanhu! Beiming is the oldest. He cupped his hands and said:"I fought on the battlefield for your majesty, and I died without regrets."

Song Xing's eyes swept across their faces with a solemn expression. He said:"I don't want my generals to die without regrets. I want my generals and soldiers to live to the end of their lives and see with their own eyes the power of the Song Dynasty. People can live a stable and happy life. Then, the old generals are old, and after all they are not as strong as the young ones; but war experience is accumulated in life and death. Generals, in the war, the old generals do not have to take the lead, but give opportunities to the young ones; the generals of the Great Song Dynasty must also After training, the veteran general is strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away. Everything is based on overall planning and consideration of fighter opportunities. Flat body!"

All the ministers shouted"Long live the mountain" again, and then they got up.
