Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army was born out of war, and within two or three years it became a powerful army in the world.  Even though the troops came to Taiyuan to quell the chaos, every move made Taiyuan Mansion marvel at the power of the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  But only when we are actually engaged in war can we see the dazzling brilliance of this powerful army!  More than 10,000 people on foot and on horseback returned to the camp upon hearing the order to prepare military supplies and equipment and replenish the gaps in the camp.  Riders are sent to and fro on the road, and they follow orders and prohibitions. They act immediately upon hearing orders, and they act swiftly and neatly.  There is no prevarication, no entanglement, no generals quarreling with each other, arguing more than arguing, and petting the easy and avoiding the heavy.  What is even more surprising is that when officers and soldiers of the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army occasionally appear in Taiyuan City, everyone is in high spirits, looking like they are happy to hear the battle and are eager to try!  The reason is not complicated. Compared with the Western Army, which the Song Dynasty always relied on.  The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army does not have the assets that Shaanxi Fourth Road has been operating for decades. The entire army now has thousands of soldiers on foot and cavalry, and they are purely a field group.  Even in the era before Xiao Yan traveled through time, the pure field armies of the Celestial Dynasty had far fewer failures than the various troops with local assets.  The army said that you can pull it out and there won't be that much trouble.  Moreover, the Western Army is said to be a group, but it is also divided into large and small factions. The military system of the Song Dynasty also ushered in the system of large and small ministers in later generations. Along the way, such as generals, soldiers and horses, etc., there was no mutual authority.  distinct.  Even the military fortresses, fortresses, and fortresses in various places are quite independent, and each has its own thoughts and calculations.  Whenever troops are used, they are mobilized from various places to form an army.  It is natural to argue with each other, and it is natural to have some disputes over the distribution of military orders.  The leading general often spends a lot of energy on coordinating the relationships among the generals in the army.  This is the so-called twilight that will inevitably arise when an army has been operating for a long time.  But for the Shenwu Evervictorious Army, a shallow foundation also has the advantage of a shallow foundation. Various interest groups have not yet formed within the Shenwu Evervictorious Army. The two generals, Han Shizhong and Yue Fei, can enforce orders and prohibitions.  The rules are strictly enforced layer by layer.  How many generals from the Western Army are willing to stay in the new group of Shenwu Evervictorious Army, perhaps because this new army does not have so many complicated personnel problems and is full of vitality when it was first founded.  The most important point is that everyone in the Shenwu Changsheng Army knows how they got their current status.  Isn¡¯t it all based on the hard battles in the Pingyan War?  With the confidence of a strong army, he is still firmly based in Hedong in the difficult situation where the government and the Central Government are not willing to see him. Seeing that Hedong is the headquarters of Shenwu's ever-victorious army, he can manage the property that will be passed down to his descendants and become the foundation of future generations of generals.  And their commander-in-chief Xiao Yan, relying on his military exploits in leading Ping Yan, has now become the Privy Councilor, the King of Yan, and has full power over the government and the public.  The rise of the Shenwu Evervictorious Army shocked the Song Dynasty just like Xiao Yan. This was unprecedented since the founding of the country.  Even the Western Army must avoid the road now.  If they want to take this achievement further, to prove that everything they have gained is not in vain, and to make their benefactor Xiao Yan's position in the court more stable, don't they have to rely on winning battles one after another?  As long as they continue to win, those who come from the Shenwu Changsheng Army will have an unlimited future!  As long as King Yan is still in power in the court!  In such a situation, the Shenwu Ever-victorious Army, from the generals to the soldiers, how can they not be happy when they hear the battle?  Even though the twelfth lunar month of winter is not the time to use troops, it can be seen that after hearing the order, the whole army was full of fighting spirit!  Within a few days, Shenwu's ever-victorious army was in Taiyuan Prefecture, and the main army left behind at the Daizhou camp had been fully prepared.  There are eight thousand regular troops and four thousand cavalry troops.  Be ready to move north at any time.  He prepared more than 10,000 auxiliary troops in the army to transport food, grass and baggage with the army and undertake chores in the camp.  The reserves of grain, fodder, and military supplies can supply the entire army for three months.  It was enough to support the entire army to arrive near Yanmen and make contact with the Jurchen troops heading south.  And now the entire Hedong Road, under the leadership of Wu Min, has also exploded with rare high efficiency, fully supporting the Shenwu Evervictorious Army in its operations.  It turns out that I want to allocate my savings to the military, but I don't know how many procedures I have to go through, how many things happen, how many difficulties the military ministers have to make, and how many benefits I have to give to the turban before I can get it at a 70% discount.  Now all the money will be allocated for military purposes in one sentence.  Although Fengchun on Hedong Road had been vacated by Zhao Ji that year, there were still Changping savings in the place.  For a time, an endless stream of them were sent to the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army.  Although the army on Hedong Road has been depleted for more than a day, there are still troops from the Forbidden Army in the area. Although the number of troops is huge, they are completely unable to fight on the battlefield.  But they can still be used as auxiliary soldiers to transport military supplies.  The deputy general manager of the imperial army stationed at Hedong Road, General Jiang Weijiang, who had made some contributions during the Taiyuan riots, has been very busy these days, trying his best to recruit the troops that can be gathered nearby, and he also raised more than a thousand soldiers in one time.  They paid out some rewards out of their own pockets to help them with the army in this winter. They were highly praised by Han Shizhong. The Jiang general also laughed so hard that he could not see his eyes. Xiao Yan was the king of Yan and the central minister of Bianliang  Great ministersAlthough the cliff is high and high, there are so many people in the world who want to climb up there!  As time goes by, these auxiliary soldiers will naturally gather more and more.  The local people will also recruit people to help them.  The Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army fought at the front, facing thousands of Jurchen troops and horses. The battle was not expected to be too large in scale.  Even if we only exhaust all the efforts along Hedong Road, we will never be short.  Three or five days passed by in a hurry, and the troops and horses in the Daizhou camp had already set off to the north.  And Han Shizhong had no intention of delaying waiting in Taiyuan Mansion, so he would lead thousands of troops and horses ready to set off from Taiyuan Mansion first.  The civil and military officials of Taiyuan Prefecture all left the city to see him off.  Outside Yanmen Pass it is still snowy and windy, but near Taiyuan Fucheng the weather is excellent today.  The winter sun hangs high, illuminating the sky and the earth.  The surrounding area was covered with ice and snow, and when the sun shone, it reflected dazzlingly, reflecting the cold metallic light on the armor of thousands of soldiers and horses outside the city.  These three thousand regular troops, half of them infantry and cavalry, were selected from the nearly 10,000 Shenwu ever-victorious troops in Taiyuan Prefecture and served as the vanguard.  Naturally, he is the best among the best.  He did not carry much baggage, and even the two thousand auxiliary troops accompanying the army were all strong and strong.  They were preparing to march north all the way to the third pass of Yanmen to stabilize the border situation and deter the Jurchen troops from marching south as soon as possible.  Although Xiao Yan now holds great power in the court, the situation is delicate.  The Jurchen army and horses are wreaking havoc in the Yunnei states, so the problem is not too big.  If they were allowed to go deep into Hedong, there would be many variables.  No matter what, this hole must be closed as soon as possible!  The weather was still cold, and thousands of strong men and horses lined up solemnly in the snowy field, with hundreds of flags dancing and flying.  The Tigers and Tigers under his banner were all silently waiting for their coach to give the order to move forward.  Not a sound could be heard.  At a high place beside the road, dozens of civil and military officials from Hedong Road surrounded Han Shizhong. Everyone sighed when looking at the thousands of elites in front of them.  Wu Min rode his horse and stood side by side with Han Shizhong, and said with emotion: "If Shenwu's ever-victorious army goes north, the east of the river will be as stable as Mount Tai! Good minister, all the way to the east of the river, I'm counting on you, general. The students will be responsible for providing relief at the back. If it doesn't work, we will  "Good minister, you may find fault with the students, but the students dare not say a word." When Wu Min was the Vice-President, how could Han Shizhong stand in front of him even though he had little status and reputation?  But now the situation is stronger than people.  Hedong Road is now almost the territory of the Shenwu Changsheng Army. Wu Min was originally a member of the same party, and most of them were convicted.  The honor and disgrace of Wu Min's status can be said to be related to Xiao Yan's thoughts.  Even in front of Han Shizhong, a military minister, he was always tactful and polite.  Wu Min¡¯s confidant Lu Cunzhong watched from behind the crowd and sighed gloomily, but could not say anything.  Who would have thought that they came to Hedong with Wu Min in great vigour, but now they have to sell their goods in front of a vulgar and uncultured military minister!  The civil servants on Hedong Road around me were bidding farewell today, although they all had the intention of being better than Han Shizhong.  But seeing Wu Min being so humble in front of Han Shizhong, everyone couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.  Alas, why did Wu Chen's generations climb up?  The atmosphere around him was a bit strange, but Wu Min looked calm.  Han Shizhong still looked sincere.  Han Shizhong smiled and clasped his fists towards Wu Min: "Thank you for your comfort. I will leave everything to you to comfort me. A certain handsome athlete is going north. As long as the rear can support him, thousands of Jurchen Tatars will not be enough." Wu Min  After pondering for a moment, he motioned to Han Shizhong to follow him and ride a few steps forward, away from everyone.  He lowered his voice and said: "Good minister, why are you so eager to go north? Now the king of Yan County has taken over the East Mansion for the first time, and there are waves in the court. The Jurchen army is going south, and we don't know what kind of changes will happen in the court. The good minister is leading the army and is stationed in Taiyuan.  On the one hand, he is waiting for King Yan's orders, and on the other hand, he is supporting King Yan. Isn't it a two-pronged strategy? "Whether it was his expression or his tone, Wu Min was extremely sincere at this moment, looking like he was speaking from the bottom of his heart.  Just like Xiao Yan, the king of Yan County, has been a confidant for many years, and Han Shizhong has been a close friend for many years.  Han Shizhong glanced at Wu Min, and he was a little unsure about Wu Min's mentality.  Are you really ready to make up your mind and stand on Xiao Yan¡¯s boat?  What Wu Min said is naturally very safe.  Han Shizhong had really considered sending an army north to join Yue Fei.  Sitting in Taiyuan, he served as Yue Fei's apse and was always ready to support Xiao Yan's position in the Bianliang Dynasty.  But in an instant, he figured it out: the Jurchens were the enemy, and when it came to battle, how could they be sure to win by half-heartedness?  Xiao Yan and Shenwu's status as a victorious army was achieved through victory after victory.  As long as the Jurchen Tatars heading south can be wiped out cleanly, that will be the best help to Xiao Yan!  There are still some things that cannot be said to Wu Min. Isn¡¯t the Yunnei Provinces Xiao Yan¡¯s foundation now?  And compared with Hedong, there are fewer constraints and it is more convenient for expansion and operation.  The folk customs in the border areas are strong, with horses and people.  As long as military resources can keep up, further expansion?An army of 20,000 capable of fighting can be expanded.  How can we let the Jurchen Tatars wreak havoc on our own foundation?  Not to mention that Xiao Yan also has a beloved wife, who is now isolated in Yingzhou and whose fate is unknown.  Without affecting the overall situation, we must try our best to rescue her!  There is a more important point, Han Shizhong¡¯s hands are itchy.  A man¡¯s merits must be obtained immediately.  Since returning to the Song Dynasty, Shenwu's ever-victorious army has been ups and downs, trying its best to cope with it.  Although under Xiao Yan's care, he finally made it to where he is today.  But how could it be as satisfying as fighting against so many powerful enemies in Yan that day to win immediately?  Just have a good fight and let the entire Song Dynasty know that the reputation of the Shenwu Victory Army is well-earned.  Let the entire Song Dynasty know that King Yan has such a powerful army in hand, and no one can shake it!  Xiao Yan did his best to preserve and strengthen this strong army, just to fight on the battlefield!  As long as we win, no matter how subtle the situation is, no matter how many people think about Xiao Yan or the Shenwu Ever-Victorious Army, it won't be a problem.  Presumably Prince Yanjun is also looking forward to this in Bianliang!  Han Shizhong smiled at Wu Min and said calmly: "As a military general, it is your duty to protect the country and the people, and to attack thieves when they encounter them. The Shenwu Changsheng Army is on the border of the town, and for many reasons, it had to enter Taiyuan Prefecture.  There is an enemy at this moment, so how can we not return to the town? There is no need to wait for any orders It would be a sin if Han still stayed in Taiyuan and refused to go north. As for appeasing the good intentions, Han would certainly understand.  The Prince of Yan Commandery took advantage of the situation and settled in Taiyuan. However, Han would be very grateful for the timely news that could be conveyed to the Central Government. If there was any delay or omission in the process, which affected the military affairs, he would probably not want to see Prince Yan hold the matter accountable.  Come down I'll leave it to you to appease him." Han Shizhong's words were vaguely threatening.  Now I am going north, and you are in Taiyuan.  If you want to play some tricks behind the scenes, you will be the one to watch when the time comes!  Wu Min laughed dryly, cupped his hands and said: "What did the good minister say? The future depends entirely on the students. Do the students still have to cross themselves to you, good minister? If there is any news in Bianliang, the students will definitely inform the good minister as soon as possible. Military and State  How dare a student ignore such an important matter?" His words, demeanor, and words couldn't be more docile.  He seemed to be a subordinate of Han Shizhong.  Han Shizhong has always admired Wu Min for being able to do this and look so calm.  Normally, Han Shizhong still had the energy to deal with Wu Min.  Now, his thoughts are all about the upcoming war, and he doesn't want to say anything more.  He cupped his hands toward Wu Min and said, "In that case, Han, please go ahead. If you win one day, I'll ask you for a cup of victory wine." Wu Min smiled casually, and also cupped his hands in reply: "I wish you good ministers to go and win, and destroy this."  Eat in court." Han Shizhong laughed and gave him a civil and military farewell.  With a vigorous wave of his hand, the guards riding horses outside immediately waved their flags.  The horn sounded suddenly, followed by the thunderous drum beat.  Thousands of troops and horses shouted in unison.  The leading generals all shouted: "Let's go!" The torrent of steel suddenly surged in everyone's eyes.  The soldiers are heavily armored and murderous, and the flags are hunting, pointing straight to the north!  Dozens of personal guards surrounded Han Shizhong, rolled up snow dust, and galloped towards the army.  Ma Jianren is a hero. Dozens of blood-red cloaks are fluttering and dancing in the silvery white. No one of the horse athletes looks back.  With such a strong spirit of dispatching troops, such a crisp and agile army, the civil and military officials on Hedong Road looked at each other and sighed. With such a strong army marching north, Hedong has nothing to worry about!  Wu Min watched Han Shizhong go away with a smile. After a long while, he spurred his horse back.  After saying a few greetings to the farewell civil and military officials, they went back to the city.  Lu Cunzhong followed Wu Min closely, his face was ashen, and after walking for a long time, he seemed to think that Han Shizhong could no longer hear him, so he lowered his voice and whispered to Wu Min: "In this war, there must be changes in the DPRK.  ! Comfort me, how can I be insulted by such a martial artist for a long time?" Wu Min looked around and walked away from the crowd.  He then calmly said in a low voice: "Why did you say that?" Lu Cunzhong said coldly: "It goes without saying that the Shenwu Ever Victorious Army went north to defeat the Jurchens. If they lose and let the Jurchen Tatars penetrate deep into the east of the river, how can the DPRK do anything wrong?  Then Nan Laizi is in trouble? Isn't it an opportunity to appease the enemy in Hedong?" Wu Min looked colder than the weather around him: "How can we expect the Song Dynasty King Cunzhong to be defeated?  , please don¡¯t say anything again!¡± Lu Cunzhong did not take Wu Min¡¯s attitude seriously at all: ¡°It would be a great disaster for the country if the military ministers seize power! But it would be better if the Jurchens go south this time and defeat the Shenwu Changsheng Army!  If it is true, what can be done about the Jurchen ringworm?" Wu Min rode his horse as if he had not heard Lu Cunzhong's words.  Lu Cunzhong is young and vigorous, Wu Min has been in the officialdom for a long time, but his thinking is not as simple as him.   The ever-victorious army of Shenwu is certainly formidable.  But leaving Xiao Yan was nothing.  Who knows what this Nan Laizi will do?  Who knows what means he will use to deal with the changes caused by the Jurchens' sudden southward movement?  Everything will have to wait and see At this moment, the military situation should have arrived in Bianliang long ago.  So how will Nan Laizi be spread?  (To be continued)
