The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 532 Emperor 560 Chapter [-] Guarding the Border
Jizhou was breached, and more than half of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun had fallen into the hands of the Song army.It can be said that Liao's influence in the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun has been pulled out, leaving only three prefectures including Tanzhou and Shunzhou.However, these three states are no longer very important.It's not that it won't be recovered, but time is no longer pressing.Now, these three states seem to have become turtles in the urn, and it is impossible to escape.

Next, Zhao Gou did not attack immediately. On the contrary, he gave orders to let the army surround but not attack, calling for formations from time to time.Because Zhao Gou knew that they would never dare to open the city gates to fight.

"Master, is this really all right?"

Zhao Gou replied confidently: "Don't worry, even if the Liao army found out, they would not dare to leave the city easily. Because they can't be sure whether the news is true or not! Besides, the Liao army has been defeated by our army, and they are already afraid. Even if their military strength is far superior to ours, they dare not leave the city easily. Now they are like frightened birds, and there is nothing to worry about. For us now, the most important thing is to guard the border."

Zhao Gou withdrew half of the tens of thousands of troops, leaving only [-] troops to encircle and suppress Tanzhou, Shunzhou, etc., which made everyone worried.However, Zhao Gouyi was not afraid. He believed that the defenders of the Liao army would not dare to send troops easily.In fact, Zhao Gou guessed right.

Since the Song army has occupied thirteen of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, only they are still resisting desperately.Now they are like frightened birds, and they dare not go out of the city to fight the Song army.Because of this, Zhao Gou began to re-layout.

Because the time for Liao's demise was getting closer, Zhao Gou had to make new instructions.The Jurchens were ambitious, and Zhao Gou knew better than anyone else that he couldn't really believe that the Jin soldiers would not invade the south.According to historical records, it was only a matter of time before the Jin soldiers attacked the Song Dynasty.

Now Zhao Gou will redeploy everything to take precautions.

"Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yue Fei, Liu Qi, you four generals are guarding the border!" Zhao Gou thought about the four of them, because they were all well-known anti-golden generals in history, so Zhao Gou took all these All entrusted to the four of them.

"The four of us?" Han Shizhong was taken aback, and the other three looked at Zhao Gou in surprise, as if they were dreaming.

Zhao Gou nodded, and said solemnly: "I will leave the border of the Song Dynasty to you. Can you do it?"

"Follow the commander's order!" The four of them were excited when they heard what Zhao Gou said again, and they finally had a chance to show their strengths.

"If the Jin soldiers step into the territory of the Song Dynasty, you should come and see them." Zhao Gou said solemnly, "In addition, the four of you can reuse the generals under your command as you like. If you encounter Jin soldiers coming to commit crimes, you don't have to go to the court, just go straight to the court." Go forth and attack without mercy."

"In addition, the [-] troops I gave you will be divided equally between the four of you for the time being. It must be balanced. As long as the other three states are recovered, I will send another [-] troops to you. At that time, each of you will lead Ten thousand troops."

Zhao Gou explained his requirements one by one. He wanted Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and the other four not only to be guarded, but also to make them famous as Jinren.As long as the Jin people see their banners, they immediately turn around and leave, not daring to have the ambition to invade the Song Dynasty.

Although Zhao Gou is neither the prince nor the emperor.But his order, everyone will not have any doubts.Because in the court, Zhao Gou's status was unmatched.In addition, Zhao Gou didn't just talk about it casually. He directly asked the emperor for an imperial decree, and appointed the four of them to station outside the customs of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for a long time to guard the border of the Song Dynasty.

In addition, Zhao Gou also asked the emperor to give them four canonizations. The army led by Yue Fei was called the "Yue Family Army", and the army led by Han Shizhong was called the "Han Family Army".However, Liu Guangshi and Liu Qi had the same surname, so their army designations were changed to 'Baan'an Army' and 'Deshun Army'.

When Han Shizhong, Yue Fei and the other four saw the clear statement in the imperial decree, they believed that all this was true.

"I entrust the north of the Great Song Dynasty to you!"

At this moment, the four of them still vaguely remembered what Zhao Gou had said to them.This sentence not only strengthened their hearts, but also strengthened their determination to defend the border of the Song Dynasty to the death.Although the road of guarding the border is not easy, they still agreed.

Han Shizhong was sent to Ruzhou to guard, Liu Guangshi was sent to Wuzhou, and Liu Qi and Yue Fei temporarily stood still.Because Liu Qi was sent to Tanzhou, and Yue Fei was sent to Jizhou.Now Jizhou has been occupied, but Tanzhou has not yet been captured, so Liu Qi can only wait.

"General Han, General Liu, it is very important for you two to guard the two states." When Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi were about to leave, Zhao Goute gave them a side and told them: "Especially in Wuzhou, which is guarded by General Liu, you not only We only need to guard against the Jin soldiers, and the Xixia soldiers will take advantage of the situation."

Liu Guangshi replied: "Don't worry, Commander, as long as I, Liu Guangshi, are here, neither the Xixia Army nor the Jin Bing can step into the land of the Song Dynasty."

"If you really encounter any difficulties, you must remember to focus on defense and not be invincible." Zhao Gou nodded and said again: "As long as you take advantage of the local geographical advantages, you will definitely not have any problems if you defend for ten days and a half months." .In addition, you have to remember that you must report back in any situation.”

Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi nodded solemnly, they both knew the meaning of Zhao Gou's words.Moreover, Zhao Gou also said at the end, it doesn't matter if the city is really lost, they must come back alive, their lives are much more important than the city.

It is precisely because of this sentence that Han Shizhong and Liu Guangshi have strengthened their determination to guard the border.In addition, Zhao Gou secretly asked the emperor for an imperial decree to let Liu Guangshi's father go to help Liu Guangshi.As for Han Shizhong, he believed that Han Shizhong had the ability to stand alone.

Among the four of them, Han Shizhong was the one who reassured Zhao Gou the most.Because Han Shizhong's growth experience is different, Liu Guangshi still needs to be honed, and so is Liu Qi. He also asked Liu Qi's father to come to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures together.As for Yue Fei, Zong Ze assisted him.

As long as the four of them are completely independent, the few of them will really leave.After Zhao Gou arranged everything, everyone understood what Zhao Gou meant.Therefore, Zong Ze and others taught without reservation, just to let them quickly grow into independent generals.

Although Yue Fei has military skills, but he has too little actual combat experience, it just so happens that this is also an opportunity.

If Zhao Gou hadn't come from later generations, knowing that the four of them were well-known anti-gold generals, he would have given them great power and given them supreme power in the army, which was already contrary to the system of the Song Dynasty.But for the future of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou had to do this, and Song Huizong stood by Zhao Gou's side without hesitation and gave him support.
