Chapter 179 Hebei Defense

It is said that the most deterrent among the Jin people nowadays is not Song Qing, but the high favor.

He doesn't even know how many golden soldiers and gold generals died under Gao Chong. The Gao Chong's general flag is like a soul flag. As long as it is shown, it can make the golden soldiers flee from the wind.

So this small-scale battle is actually over before it is fought. After confirming that it was the King of hell, Jin General took the lead in running down without waiting for the order of Gao Chong to rush to kill. The beauty of gold and silver is not as good as his own life.

However, they also picked it up today. Gao Chong did not chase them, because Gao Chong felt that Yue Fei arranged for himself to ambush here. Obviously, he did not come for these golden soldiers. The secret should be in this carriage.

As a result, the carriage was lifted, which made Gao Chong very disappointed. It turned out to be two women who had been scared into a group. However, after careful inquiry, I knew that it was Tian Hu's woman, and it was Tian Hu's son who was killed by Jin Ren.

The interception of two Tianhu women is also a surprise!

Gao Chong ordered the man to load the bodies of Tian Ding and the two state abbots into the carriage, and then returned to Zhending City.

At this time, Liangshan's army had gathered under Zhending City. In order to prevent Tian Hu from escaping, the four doors were also blocked by Liangshan.

Song Qing also arrived. While hesitating whether to attack the city immediately, Gao Chong came back with Tian Hu's two women and several bodies.

No one expected that Yue Fei could intercept the woman Tianhu.

After asking what happened, Song Qing pondered for a moment and ordered someone to escort the two women and those bodies back to Zhending City. At the same time, two women were asked to bring a message to Tian Hu and give him two hours. If he surrendered to the city, he would not die. Otherwise, he would set up a cannon to attack the city.

In order to let Tian Hu's people see the power of the artillery, before releasing the two women, Song Qing ordered people to fire at the wall first. Solid bullets were used, and shells were fired out, and the city wall was immediately bombarded. It is estimated that such a powerful tiger army in the city has been scared out of its courage.

Tian Hu knew what he had done and believed that Song Qing would not let him go, so he was ready to burn everything, but his men did not think so. After seeing the power of the artillery, some people were already thinking about surrender.

At this time, the bodies of the two women and Tian Hu's son were sent back. Tian Hu almost fainted when he received the news. His first thought was to kill Liang Shan's son, but after asking the two concubines, he remained silent.

For the sake of glory and wealth, and for my ambition, I was not only willing to be a lackey of aliens, but also my son. And he was still killed by people who are loyal to him. What's the point of living now?

In fact, when he learned that Tian Hu's woman brought back Liang Shan's ultimatum, Tian Hu's soldiers were watching. Twenty magic weapons outside the city have been set up. Obviously, Tian Hu will fire if he does not surrender.

Tian Hu wants to die, but these people have not lived enough. The general has decided that if Tian Hu still refuses to surrender, they will open the city gate to surrender and never die with Tian Hu.

An hour later, Tian Hu, who felt ashamed, drove away two former concubines and set fire to his Yin'an Hall, but he himself did not come out again and was buried in the sea of fire.

As soon as Tian Hu lit the fire and burned himself, a general over there went out to surrender with a white flag.

Hearing Tian Hu's final ending, Song Qing inevitably sighed. Tian Hu was also a hero, but unfortunately he went the wrong way, but he died enough.

After ordering people to find out the bones of Tian Hu, they buried him and his son together and let the two women go, strictly ordering anyone not to hit their ideas, and those who violate it will be killed without mercy.

With the capture of Zhending City, the land of Hebei can no longer resist the Liangshan army. As for the small bandits, they are invincible, which will take a certain amount of time.

However, Song Qing believes that as Hebei gradually stabilizes, those forces that have become bandits due to life will gradually disappear by themselves. What he has to do now is to stabilize these places. At the same time, the deposit soldiers will no longer go south, and the people will return home if they have hope.

Another major gain from the destruction of Tian Hu is the seizure of countless food and fodder from him, as well as the war horses and weapons funded by the golden soldiers to Tian Hu.

Now, after successive wars, the total number of cavalry in Liangshan has reached 100,000. And the number of infantry is even more amazing. If Song Qing is not controlled, it can even exceed 500,000.

Most of these armies were dispersed by the imperial court. Because they were border troops, their combat effectiveness was still acceptable. It was for this reason that Song Qing left them.

Such a huge army can't be supported by Kaifeng or Shandong alone.

Therefore, after Song Qing basically cleared up the bandits in various places, he summoned all the generals in Zhending City to study border garrison, military resettlement and how to deal with the attack of Jin soldiers.

Hebei originally had a long border with the former Liao and now Jin, so these armies seem to be many, but if they are scattered everywhere, there will not be much, and the state government also need a certain garrison to deter and confiscate local rebellions.

Some other troops have to return with Song Qing. In this way, some places even have to conscript.

The original best building in Zhending City was the Yin'an Hall, which was rebuilt by Tian Hu, but now it has been burned to ashes by Tian Hu.

So at this important meeting, Song Qing chose his own Chinese army outside the city.

The meeting was held by Zhu Wu, Xiao Rang, Jiang Jing and others, including Lin Chong, Guan Sheng, Qin Ming, Han Shizhong, Yue Fei, Hua Rong, Gao Chong, as well as Lu Zhishen, Wu Song, Liu Tang, Li Kui and other generals.

The veteran Hu Yanzhuo has been staying in Dengzhou to be responsible for training cavalry, so now there are fewer and fewer generals around Song Qing.

After the people arrived, Song Qing didn't realize anything, but everyone couldn't hide their joy. The main reason was that the land of Hebei was much easier than they thought. At the same time, Shandong and Hebei have been connected. To put it more exaggeratedly, nearly half of the land of the Song Dynasty is basically under the control of Liangshan.

Looking at the smiling expressions of everyone and whispering words from time to time, Song Qing understood a little.

With more territory and great power, it is inevitable to be happy. This is people's long-term love. He can't throw cold water on everyone at this time. In fact, he had been thinking about one thing before everyone arrived.

The border with the Jin people is too long, the forces are too scattered, and it is impossible for them to stay here all the time. Therefore, a commander-in-chief should be set up at the border, with a general in charge to command the border affairs. This is conducive to the handling of emergencies and will not delay the fighter. It's just who should take charge of this task!

Yue Fei and Han Shizhong are both the best candidates. Song Qing is also very assured of their character, but after all, the time for them to join is too short. Han Shizhong is better. If Yue Fei still has the court in his heart and gives him such a heavy task, isn't he a trap?

You should know that once this appointment goes down, it will be the second person of Liangshan, who is second only to himself, holding hundreds of thousands of troops. After thinking about it, it is most reassuring to leave this task to my father-in-law.

Lin Chong has no bad hobbies, no ambition, and is also his own family, so it is most appropriate for him to serve as the three general system.

This three levels refer to the long border from Daizhou, Zhending in the west and Bazhou in the east.

Thinking of this, Song Qing coughed dryly, attracted everyone's attention, and smiled and said, "It's all up to Hebei to recover so quickly. I thank you on behalf of the people of Hebei."

Zhu Wu smiled and said, "It's the prince's strategy. I'm just doing what he ordered."

Everyone said yes.

Song Qing shook his head and said, "Brothers, it's still a little early for us to be happy! It is said that it is easy to fight the world, but difficult to govern the world. We are just the beginning. If we want the land of Hebei for a long time, we still have to do."

When everyone heard Song Qing's words, they couldn't help but put away their smiles.

Song Qing nodded with satisfaction and said, "After inspecting the border, I will return to Kaifeng, so I am here to announce several new appointments"

"Lin Chong is the general system of the three customs, which is in charge of the defense of the three prefectures of Daizhou, Zhending and Bazhou"

As soon as this official position came out, everyone was stunned, because since Song, he had never heard of such an official position. Obviously, the prince came up with it himself. However, the authority of this official position is large enough, and the prince is equivalent to handing over Song Jin's entire border defense line to Lin Chong.

However, in terms of Lin Chong's qualifications and relationship with the prince, he is the only one who is the most suitable for this position.

Defending the country and deter foreign countries, that man doesn't have such a dream? Lin Chong suppressed the excitement in his heart and stepped out. He said with his forked hand: "Take the king's life"

Song Qing's face looked whole and said, "General Lin, now these three levels are full of holes. General Lin is careful and don't give the enemy an opportunity."

"Don't worry, but if you teach Lin Chong, you will never allow Jin people to set foot on half an inch of our Han family"

To Lin Chong, Song Qing was still relieved and nodded and said, "General Lin, please sit down. Han Shizhong will listen to the order."

Han Shizhong strode out and said with his fist: "Shizhong is there"

"General Han Shizhong served as the commander of the Mabu Army in Bazhou"

"King's Life"

"Yue Fei is the commander of Ma Bujun in Daizhou"

After Song Qing appointed Yue Fei, the big account suddenly calmed down.

Even Yue Fei himself was stunned. He has only been here for a few days. Although he won a battle, it is not worth mentioning compared with anyone sitting there. How could King Liang give him such an important task?

People who don't know Yue Fei are also thinking about it.

Song Qing put Yue Fei in Daizhou. Of course, it is not just as simple as dealing with the Jin people, because Daizhou is Xixia to the west. This Western Xia Dynasty has always been good and bad with the Song Dynasty, and it can't be defenseless against them.

So the general in this position must be a wise and brave person. Looking at his men, only Yue Fei is the most suitable.

Every decision of Song Qing has been well thought out, so what others say will not shake his ideas. Now it depends on what Yue Fei is thinking.

"What, General Yue doesn't want to?"

Yue Fei woke up and hurriedly hugged his fist and said, "How dare Yue Fei not obey the king's order? It's just that Fei's qualifications are shallow. Can the king appoint other generals as righteous? Fei's assistant is "

Song Qingran smiled and said beyond doubt, "This matter is settled. Three days later, the army will follow me to inspect the frontiers and then return to Kaifeng."
