The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 490 Jade can not be carved
Han Shizhong, Gao Chong, Liu Guangshi, and Gao Chong discussed the battle plan and marching route together.Then, the four of them returned to their tents, and Gao Chong quietly entered Zhao Gou's tent and told him the plan discussed in detail.

After Zhao Gou listened, he nodded appreciatively: "It seems that they understand what I mean, this battle plan is still feasible."

For the well-known and well-known generals of later generations, Zhao Gou was not worried about them at all, nor would he worry about their self-respect, nor would he worry about their defection.

Out of trust in them, Zhao Gou decided to give it a go, taking the Sixteen States of Yanyun as an opportunity for them to become famous all over the world.The waves behind the Yangtze River push forward the waves ahead, and a new generation replaces the old ones.

Zong Ze, Zhong Shidao and others are already old, if there is no successor to replace them.In the future, if he really dies and has no successor, if he is stationed at the border, then the enemy army will be able to drive straight in, which will be detrimental to the country and the people.

Now that they understand that unity is the truth of victory, Zhao Gou will also give them enough support to allow them to grow into independent generals.

The next day, Zhao Gou issued a commander-in-chief order, and all the soldiers gathered in the school field, lined up neatly, watching Zhao Gou intently, waiting for his order.

"Since our army set off on the expedition, it has been like a broken bamboo, and has captured four states in succession. However, the army's attack on Weizhou has been hindered, so that our army has failed to achieve anything."

"Why?" Zhao Gou glared angrily, and said loudly, "This is because our army cannot be united. It is not because our army is not as strong as the Liao army, nor is our general incompetent. It is because someone is obstructing and disturbing the morale of the army. This is a big taboo. "

"Now that the army is ready, the opportunity we have been waiting for for many days has finally arrived. Both the troops and the generals are ready."

"Four generals Liu, Han, Gao, and Yue come out!" Zhao Gou shouted loudly.

"The last general is here!" The four stood up together and agreed loudly.

"This commander appointed the four of you as generals to attack Weizhou this time. The soldiers, vanguards and others who were under your jurisdiction before will also be led by you."

Zhao Gou paused for a moment, and said sharply: "But, you must take Weizhou for me. If you don't take it, come and see me."

The four replied in unison: "We are willing to issue a military order and vow to capture Weizhou to the death."

"Okay!" Zhao Gou ordered people to send the four treasures of the study up, and asked them to issue military orders in front of all the soldiers, which also showed their intentions and established their prestige.

The four of them issued a military order without hesitation, and then handed it over to Zhao Gou.Zhao Gou looked at it seriously, nodded, and accepted it.

"Where is Yue Fei?" Zhao Gou shouted.

Yue Fei replied loudly: "The end is here!"

"The commander sent Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and other vanguards, as well as [-] troops, to let you attack Lingqiu. Can you complete the order?"

"The end will definitely be completed!" Yue Fei replied firmly.

"Where is Liu Guangshi?" Zhao Gou shouted again.

Liu Guangshi stood up and said loudly, "The end is here!"

"Today, the commander-in-chief dispatched Liu Qi and other vanguards, as well as [-] troops, can you capture Feihu County?"

"Yes!" Liu Guangshi responded loudly and concisely.

"Where are Han Shizhong and Gao Chong?"

Han Shizhong and Gao Chong replied in unison: "The end is here!"

"Guangling County is located in a special place. The two of you must work together to capture this city. The generals who originally belonged to General Han will also go with you. In addition, we will send more than [-] troops with you. We must fight quickly to capture Guangling. .”

"No!" Han Shizhong and Gao Chong replied loudly.

"Where is General Zong?"

"The veteran is here!" Zong Ze said excitedly.

"I will entrust all the food and grass of the army to the old general!"

Zhao Gou solemnly warned that no matter what kind of war it is, the reason for food and grass first is clear. If there is not enough food and grass, how can we be invincible and invincible.

Seeing that Zhao Gou entrusted him with such an important matter, Zong Ze was overjoyed and readily agreed.Although he has been on the battlefield for decades and has already experienced hundreds of battles, now is a critical moment, and the safety of food and grass is also the top priority.

"Let's go!" Zhao Gou gave an order, and the four of them immediately returned to the camp, packed their bags, and set off directly.

Liu Guangshi led the army, marched according to the previously negotiated route, and took the brunt of entering Feihu County and stationed outside the city.Then, Yue Fei also led the army to Lingqiu; as for Han Shizhong and others, they were still marching and had not yet reached Guangling.

Liu Guangshi and Yue Fei agreed on a time to attack the city, and they attacked on the same day.Although the Weizhou army was fully prepared, its strength was weak and it was impossible to concentrate.

The Song army won the first battle, and Zhao Gou, who was sitting at Feihukou Pass, also received the news.At the same time, Zhao Yougong was also in the camp, and happened to hear the good news.

"Ninth brother, why did you choose to let them march alone and hand over the power to them? Could it be that those veterans can't take on important responsibilities?"

Zhao Yougong had doubts for a long time and never asked, so he asked today.Zhao Yougong also had contact with Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong and others, and they were generals under his command, how could he not know.

However, he just couldn't figure out why Zhao Gou did this.If he wins, it's okay to say that even if there are people in the court who criticize him, he will prove himself right with practical actions;

"Because they are jade in the rough!" Zhao Gou said lightly, "We all know the truth that jade cannot be made into a weapon if it is not cut. However, military generals cannot learn it slowly. Only by going through great battles, experiencing real life and death, and shed blood to grow quickly.”

Zhao Gou took out some scraps of paper from the table, and Zhao Yougong asked in surprise, "What is this?"

"This is the experience of Liu Guangshi and Han Shizhong!" Zhao Gou explained, and Zhao Yougong looked at it carefully, the more he watched, the more frightened he became, "You are still the executor of the villa, and you don't know the skills of the generals under your command!"

Zhao Gou sneered, but was ignored by Zhao Yougong, and said in surprise, "Ninth Brother, how did you find these?"

"Of course they were found by the villa!" Zhao Gou gave Zhao Yougong a contemptuous look, "Liu Guangshi was born as a general. experience."

"As for Han Shizhong, he and Liu Guangshi are half fellows. He was a soldier in the same military camp back then, but he separated later. However, he led the army to many victories from an unknown person, but it is a pity that every time the credit is divided up, Otherwise, his reputation would not be too bad."

Zhao Yougong frowned, "Ninth brother, do you mean that they all have combat capabilities, but they lack the experience of fighting a big battle alone?"

Zhao Gou nodded, and said: "This is a common problem of them! If this battle makes up for it, then the future frontiers of the Song Dynasty will need to rely on their strength, and those veterans will be regarded as successors."

"Victory is of course important. The immediate victory is just a small benefit. The real thing is that the future generals of Song Dynasty can succeed, otherwise even if the victory is short-lived."

"Then why did you ask them to issue a military order?" Zhao Yougong asked in surprise, "If there is any emergency, wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"

Zhao Gou smiled and said: "If you don't have the heart to break the boat, how can you move forward indomitably? You can only die and survive, so that the four of them can grow up!"
