The exchange and handover matter was delayed for less than half a month.

If Liang Shanjun hadn't been impatient and kept urging, the court might have been able to delay.

At the final exchange, everyone on Liangshan, including Wang Lun, understood.

The imperial court temporarily transferred a large group of cavalry from the west, about ten thousand people, with flags waving, drums beating loudly, armor bright, and well-established advances and retreats. They are obviously elite knights!

These cavalry are also the essence of the Western Army.

At that time, the Western Army was also the last elite regiment of the Northern Song Dynasty. It continuously fought against Xixia and maintained a high-intensity state of combat readiness. In addition to northern Shanxi, northern Shaanxi, Guanzhong, and Yansui, these places have always had strong folk customs, tenacious people, and numerous bow and arrow societies. , the armaments are frighteningly strong. Compared with Hebei, Jingxi, Jingdong, Huaihe, Jiangnan, Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangxi, northern Shanxi to Longxi, Shaanxi, they are all areas with extremely strong armaments. It can be said that at least in the Song Dynasty It was the first in the country at that time!

In fact, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was also the first in the country.

Regardless of Liaodong, the land of Yanzhao, or the places where elites came from the Huaihe River, or Sichuan, Shu, Yungui, Guangxi... In terms of the quality of the soldiers and the overall strength and tenacity, the Western Army was strong from the late Song Dynasty to the late Ming Dynasty.

During the Battle of Ningjin, the elites of the Western Army attacked the Huang Taiji Formation with great vigor, and were defeated by the Manchurian elites, Baijia, and Gebusixian. When they were about to succeed, a large number of the main forces of the Qing Army arrived, and the victory was almost defeated..

More than a dozen general soldiers fought, and those who fled first were Xuanda and Liaoxi Ming troops, who fought bravely all the time. Those who resisted to the end were all the old Qin people from the Western Army from Shaanxi.

When Li Zicheng attacked Beijing, the only decent resistance along the way were military towns in northern Shaanxi.

Even Li Zicheng, Zhang Xianzhong and others came from the Shaanxi frontier army...

The elite cavalry of the Western army in front of them did look a bit impressive.

The troops are well organized, the array is strong, and the troops advance and retreat in an orderly manner.

What's more important is that there is an aura of military killing.

This is the aura that only elites from a hundred battles have.

In contrast, the soldiers and horses of Shijiedu were once bandits, and there was a gap between them and regular elite officers and soldiers. They had not fought and fought for many years and were content with leisure. Compared with the elites of the Western Army who fought and fought every year, It is indeed a far cry from 20

"The imperial court wanted to save face and frighten us at the same time, so it sent these elite cavalry here."

"Maybe, my master, Coach Wang, is also in the army."

Although Wu Song is straightforward, he has good opinions.

He made the court's intentions clear in one sentence.

Shi Jin murmured, thinking of his master, the Forbidden Army instructor Wang Jin.

The so-called eight hundred thousand Forbidden Army instructors do not mean eighty The Ten Thousand Forbidden Army only has one instructor, and it is just a false title.

According to the Song Dynasty system, the eight hundred thousand Forbidden Army has more than 200 instructors, and above them there are Du Instructors, then Du Yuhou and other middle and lower-level military attachés, and then commanders and so on.

According to modern standards, the instructor is considered to be a high-ranking sergeant major or company commander, which is still far from the mid-level military attache. It's just that"800,000 forbidden army instructors" is more majestic and bluffing.

It is the treatment of the imperial army of the Song Dynasty. It's really not low.

Lin Chong is just a little military attache, but he is willing to spend thousands of dollars to buy a precious sword.

In Tokyo, where land is so precious, he has his own house and courtyard, as well as maids and servants, and his life is indeed relatively comfortable.

This is Ordinary people with such conditions are indeed the most difficult to resist the coercion of power.

It is said that those who wear shoes are not as good as those who are barefoot. This is the truth.

Shi Jin and Wu Song are still in the mood to chat.

Ruda just looks gloomy.

He is from the Western Army. , is also a small military attache. The so-called tribunal is also a small military attache. There will be multiple tribunals in the local area, which are responsible for the local miscellaneous troops. They are responsible for public security, troop training, supervising and arresting thieves, etc.

There are also those who specialize in teahouses, Wen Si The Zuo Zangku officials in the hospital are also called tiha.

In the Forbidden Army, they are company and platoon-level officers with the rank of lieutenant or captain, which is worse than Lin Chong, a senior sergeant major. He was from the Western Army and the Western Army Luda is naturally the most familiar with Xingwu.

Seeing the flags opposite, Luda also had a sad expression on his face.

He had no choice but to leave. The court was unfair and powerful and harmed others. Luda had no regrets about killing Zheng Tu on his behalf. But I definitely can’t bear to part with the military uniform.

"There is a banner with the word Zhong, but it cannot be the old Zhong Xianggong, it is probably the Xiao Zhong Xianggong!"

Lao Zhong Xianggong is Zhong'e, a famous general who was famous during Shenzong's reign. Xiaozhong

Xianggong is Zhong Shidao, the current head of the Zhong family. He is called Lao Zhong Xianggong in the history of the Song Dynasty. The first time the Jin soldiers invaded Kaifeng, it was Zhong Shidao who The Jin soldiers were forced to retreat, and because of their merits, they were appointed envoys to the capital and commanded the Kaifeng army in the capital. After the Jin soldiers left the siege, they were jealous and deprived of their military power. They died of illness soon after, at the age of seventy-six. Zhong E had already died of illness before that.

Zhong Shidao died. Later, Emperor Qinzong came to pay homage in person, and presented him as a gift to the three divisions of Kaifu Yi and Tong. During the Jianyan period, he also presented Shaobao with the posthumous title of Zhongxian. What was the use at that time?

Later generations only knew about the generals of the Yang family. In fact, there were three major generals in the northwest of the Northern Song Dynasty. Yang The family is just at the bottom.

The foundation of the Yang family is not strong, and not many of the descendants of the later generations are outstanding, but they are more famous. The

Zhe family is much stronger than the Yang family, and it has two states of its own, which is equivalent to the Song Dynasty. A rare military-controlled family.

Above the Zhe family, there is the Zhong family.

Not only does the Zhong family have a strong foundation, but there are strong people who have taken up the backbone of the family from generation to generation, and the inheritance is endless, which is very powerful.

But in Zhongshi Dao, after the Zhong Master, the Zhong family also cut off the inheritance. This is another story.

At this time, Ruda's eyes were slightly wet. No matter what, the old Zhong Xianggong and Xiao Zhong Xianggong were good to him. After the murder, if it weren't for the Xianggong They were deliberately lenient, and Ruda couldn't escape easily.……

"Rest assured Tija. Wang

Lun saw Luda's thoughts and said with a smile:"The Western Army has been fighting against the Liao dogs and the Xixia people for hundreds of years, all for the sake of the country and the people. In the future, Liangshan will try not to confront the Western Army. If you meet someone, you have to show some kindness, and you won't really kill him!"

This has always been Wang Lun's idea.

Except for the officers and soldiers who harmed the people, they will not let go if they are caught. Otherwise, they will be let go if they can, and even those who are far away from home and have no money will be given money.

But they can no longer fight as soldiers. Liangshan, he won't let go lightly if he is caught.

Ordinary officers and soldiers are like this, let alone the soldiers of the Western Army who have made great achievements and have been standing on the front line against foreigners? After hearing this, Ruda was greatly moved, clasping his fists and saying:"Big Don't worry, boss, if we really want to fight, we should rely on swords and guns! It's just that if we win, we should be more lenient to them. With the words of the master, the Sa family will really feel relieved."

……

Amidst the rumbling drums, the trapped officers and soldiers who were tired, thin, frightened, and even like walking zombies began to walk out of the camp.

Their rations had been eaten up long ago, and all their horses were killed.

There are only a few dozen horses left that belong to the generals and military attaches, but if they are not negotiated soon, they will probably all be killed one after another.

Everyone was very hungry. After being surrounded for so long, even if Liangshan provided military rations, they would still be hungry for nine meals in three days. At most, they would not die of hunger. It was impossible to eat enough.

Nearly 40,000 people came out of the camp, and every one of them was skinny, tired, and staggering, like a walking skeleton.

The military uniform was in tatters, and the weapons in his hands were basically thrown away. He really didn't have the strength to carry them with him anymore.

There were only bedding, blankets, kettles, rice bowls, etc. I couldn't bear to throw them away, so I just took them with me.

At this time, we couldn't talk about queues. A few people lined up in a long queue amidst the sound of drums, and they became more and more chaotic. Later, they simply got separated. Fortunately, the Western Army set up an array here, leaving only a few openings for water. When we got here, the queue resumed.

All the Western troops looked at these defeated soldiers with shocked eyes...

They had never seen a large number of officers and soldiers defeated like this.

Generally speaking, the combat power of officers and soldiers is always higher than that of bandits. It is common sense that a small number of officers and soldiers can defeat a large group of bandits.

These are the officers and soldiers who are former bandits. With the equipment and supplies of the officers and soldiers, their combat power will be greatly improved. However, the result is such a miserable appearance. If it weren't for the Liangshan bandits who seemed to have little ambition, they reached a peace agreement with the court and released these people. If they come out, I am afraid that the final result will be either that these people all starve to death, or that they all surrender.

There was also a commotion throughout the Western Army.

After all, they are both in the camp of officers and soldiers, so it is inevitable that things will harm others.

But when they looked at the Liangshan camp, they were originally arrogant and complacent, but now they were a little more cautious and vigilant.

Under the banner of Zhongzhong General, there is the way of cultivating teachers.

At this time, Zhongshi Dao was also over sixty years old. Although he was said to be Xiaozhong Xianggong, he was actually a veteran on the battlefield. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

During the reign of Emperor Shenzong, Zhong Shidao also participated in the battle of the Five Route Army's conquest of Xixia. The young general back then has now become an important general, even more than an ordinary general. It became the pinnacle of the Song Dynasty's imperial army.

At this moment, Zhong Shidao also looked solemn.

Beside him were the general manager of the Yanyan Road, Liu Yanqing, the military envoy of the Taining Army, Liu Xi, the military envoy of Xihe Road, Liu Qi, the military envoy of Jingyuan Road, Sun Wo, the military envoy of Qinfeng Road, and Zhao, the military envoy of Huanqing. Zhe and other important generals of the Western Army.

This time, the Western Army's generals and elites came out together, and the cavalry here was just a small team.

A total of nearly 100,000 troops are going south to wipe out Square La.

Only the Yongxing Army's military envoy was left to look after the house in the west to prevent the Xixia people from taking advantage of the situation.

In addition, there are the deputy governors Wu Jie, Wu Lin brothers, and Yaozhou observer Liu Guangshi, who came with his father, Jiedushi Liu Yanqing.

In Liu Guangshi's formation, there was a small officer leading more than ten cavalrymen, Han Shizhong, who had just been promoted to the deputy lieutenant of Jinyi for his military exploits.

In the battle of Fangla, Han Shizhong, who had always been brave and was called"the enemy of ten thousand people" by the general Wang Yuan, made great contributions.

But he was robbed of his military exploits. Later, a big boss spoke up for him, and he was promoted to Chengjie Lang.

Later, after the Jingkang Incident, Han Shizhong led his cavalry to perform many military exploits, and he continued to work step by step to the high positions of commander and vanguard commander.

When Zhao Gou proclaimed himself emperor, Han Shizhong led his troops to Jezhou to support him and became one of the heroes of Conglong.

At this time, he began to rise rapidly. In the first year of Jianyan, he was appointed as an observer, and even had the title of"bringing imperial equipment".

Obtaining this title as a military commander means gaining the emperor's trust.Because the meaning of this title is that you can carry weapons in front of the emperor, you are regarded by the emperor as the core of the general team.

It’s hard not to get promoted[]

After Zhao Gou rebuilt the imperial camp, Han Shizhong became the commander of Zuoying, and later the deputy general manager of the first line. However, he followed Zhao Gou and fled south to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, and was escorted by Han Shizhong all the way.

Later, Han Shizhong's main force was defeated by Wanyan Zonghan. At this time, there was a mutiny in Hangzhou. The rebels took Zhao Gou hostage and forced him to abdicate.

Dozens of people from Han Shizhong returned to Hangzhou to aid Hangzhou, gathering troops and horses along the way, and finally succeeded in quelling the chaos and rescuing Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou awarded Han Shizhong the title of Shaobao of the Inspection School, Wu Shengjun's Military Envoy, and gave him the word"loyalty and bravery". This not only established Han Shizhong's status as one of the four ZTE generals, but also paved the way for his successful retirement in the future and the preservation of his wealth.

No matter how great Yue Fei's achievements were, he had no personal grudge against Zhao Gou.

Han Shizhong had both military merit and personal favor, so it is not surprising that he landed safely.

This is a complex character who combines cunning, bravery, loyalty and selfishness. He is also an extremely outstanding general and a fierce general.

At this moment, Han Shizhong's face was also full of solemnity.

The Western Army was indeed the elite in the late Song Dynasty.

Among this cavalry of 10,000 people alone, there are several pillar generals of the future Southern Song Dynasty. It is 430 Zizi who can always break through the bag. The reputation of the Western Army does not come from nothing.

But at this time, Han Shizhong felt great pressure.

The Liangshan cavalry on the opposite side only has about 10,000 people.

But the array is obviously more rigorous than the Western Army!

The momentum is even stronger!

The murderous aura is even more solid!

Especially the equipment is far superior to that of the Western Army!

The Western Army basically wears long armor, and many soldiers wear ordinary leather armor and less iron armor.

The cavalry on the opposite side basically had silver breastplates.

The lance was carefully made of top quality at first glance. The length of the lance and the blade length were all the same.

In addition, the heights raised by the Liangshan cavalry are also the same, almost like a forest of spears, which is intimidating.

The cavalry with long axes, swords, and swords and shields behind them were also arranged in separate arrays, and there was almost no confusion. The entire cavalry was like a body, a large mountain, a large piece of fine iron, giving people It's thick and unshakable, but also has a cold and sharp feeling of metal.

Even though they have experienced hundreds of battles and often fought with the Xixia cavalry, all the Western cavalry, including Han Shizhong, felt at this moment that the Liangshan cavalry opposite them was an elite that was extremely difficult to mess with.

Master Zhong's eyebrows are half white and his wrinkles are deep.

When Wang Huan, Han Cunbao, Xu Ying, Li Congji and others arrived on horseback, Zhong Shidao also rode to greet them. Although the Zhong family had been generals for generations and high-level officials in the Forbidden Army, Zhong Shidao did not deliberately put on airs in front of Wang Huan and others. , everyone saw the ceremony, Wang Huan and others looked ashamed, Wang Huan said:"I have seen Mr. Zhong, and it is our crime to mourn the teacher and humiliate the country.""

"Whether you are guilty or not is a matter for the court. We are all soldiers and receive military pay. We are all our own people. General Wang will rest in our camp for a few days to recuperate before returning to Tokyo. By the way, it's best for everyone to tidy up their ranks so that they won't be used to make a fuss."

Wang Huan and others were all in high spirits.

The troops were in chaos.

But if the soldiers who were returned from Liangshan were gathered together, reorganized a little, and could barely bring out their subordinates, the outcome might be very different.

If all The army was completely defeated, and it was not impossible for the imperial court to sacrifice their heads to the flag for the sake of face.

"General Zhong has high righteousness, and I respect him."Wang Huan's face was filled with a mixture of happiness and shame. Looking at Master Zhong, Wang Huan whispered again:"I don't know why your husband helped us?"

Zhong Shidao didn't answer at first.

Then he looked at the appearance of the Liangshan Army on the opposite side again and again.

After a long time, he sighed:"The cavalry on the opposite side is ten thousand against ten thousand, and Zhong has no confidence that he can win. After saying that

, Zhong Shidao gave a wry smile and added:"It's good to save face... Actually, if we really fight, 90% of us will lose!"".
