Chapter 11 Sword pointing to the Hudi

After taking down Bingzhou City, there was a threat from Hu people to northern Xinjiang and even the whole Song Dynasty in the Central Plains, and Ye Mingyang and others had to plan themselves, which made Wang Chong have to take the initiative to send troops again. Because he knows that only by winning another big victory can the two crises be relieved.

But it is not very easy to send troops to the land. On the one hand, it is the mobilization of people and the equipment of grain and grass. There can't be too many people to enter the enemy. After all, it is necessary to maintain mobility and flexibility, and the Song army is not good at fighting like the barbarians, which requires a precise plan. On the other hand, someone is sent to take people into Hudi. Although all the soldiers want to serve the country, they still have to choose a few people who can take on this task.

"What do you think we should do to attack Hudi to achieve the greatest effect at the least cost?" Wang Chong finally decided to select the candidates who could be used through investigation.

"The last general thinks that fast should be the first. While the main force of the Hu people is still in our Song Dynasty, and the other people are newly defeated and morale is depressed, they will kill them directly and destroy the land of the Hu people in one fell swoop!"

General Yue said that the so-called soldiers are noble and fast. Now that they have decided to send troops, they should act immediately!"

"In addition, prepare the next part of the grain to carry with you when sending troops, in case it is difficult to find supplies after entering the field."

The generals have given their opinions one after another. Although there are some problems, they are also somewhat insightful. At this time, Du Qianjun put forward his own opinion: "In the opinion of subordinates, stability should prevail!" After all, we are very strange to Hudi. We must ensure our own safety before we can hurt the enemy. In fact, the best way is to wait until the beginning of spring next year, and then use troops against the enemy after the road is smooth, so that you can have absolute certainty.

Wang Chong still agrees with this view. He is also worried that these people who have lost their logistical support will be swallowed by the barren. But at the same time, the previous generals are also right. The current situation does not allow them to continue to wait and wait for the arrival of spring.

"In fact, fast and stable can be done at the same time." Xu Jinghong didn't speak until after everyone said so. Because his strategy was very correct when he won before, the young man had a certain reputation among the generals in northern Xinjiang, and he did not refute it: "Come on, it means to send troops to attack Hudi as soon as possible. In this way, we can not only give the court an explanation and prove that we are not doing nothing, but also put pressure on the Hu army who wants to enter my Central Plains to see if they want to rob the people of Song or protect their backyard.

These words took into account many aspects, so that everyone couldn't help saying: "Xu Dutong said yes, now we really need to send troops as soon as possible, otherwise the impact of the loss of the state city will expand."

"And after entering the Hudi, we should focus on stability. My idea is not to rush forward, but to find a settlement of the barren according to the terrain. Whether it is the Central Plains or the desert grassland, people always live in a regular way, such as water sources. As long as we can find the water source and use it as a clue, we will definitely find the settlement of the Hu people, and then we can hit them hard. Xu Jinghong continued to improve his opinions.

This time, Wang Chong couldn't help nodding: "Your consideration is very comprehensive. So how many people do you think we will send to kill Hudi?

"Five thousand should be enough." Xu Jinghong said without thinking, "Five thousand elite cavalry are not inferior to the knights of the Hu people in mobility, and in the face of ordinary tribes, 5,000 horses also have an advantage in combat effectiveness, so this number is just right. In addition, in this way, there is no need to spend too much on logistics supplies in the city, which is also conducive to the continued defense of Youzhou City.

"Five thousand people? Can this kind of person really clean up the Hudi? Some people can't believe it anymore.

"If the enemy is prepared, it is naturally difficult to achieve this. But now the hero of the Hu people is outside and empty inside. Naturally, we can win a big victory with such troops. Xu Jinghong replied.

Wang Chong pondered for a long time: "Jinghong, do you dare to shoulder this matter?"

"This is what I have been asking for!" Xu Jinghong immediately stood up and said solemnly, "Men should build up their achievements and make contributions in the battlefield!" And I have seen many innocent Song people killed by the Hu people with my own eyes, and I have always wanted to avenge this blood!"

"Okay, that handsome will give you this opportunity!" Wang Chong also stood up suddenly. His actions also made the other generals alin, and then they also got up one after another. They knew that Marshal Wang was about to order.

"This time, the Hu people committed our Songjing again and killed countless soldiers and people. It is obvious that we have always adhered to the strategy of peace and self-respect. Since the Hu people do not know self-respect, we should make them suffer! Xu Jinghong——”

"The end!" Xu Jinghong immediately came out and saluted Wang Chong, waiting for the order.

"I ordered you to lead 5,000 elite horses into Hudi. Be sure to deal heavy damage to them, so that the Hu people who invaded my land turn back and solve the current danger of my Song Dynasty!" Wang Chong ordered.

"Ye! The last general will live up to his trust, and he will definitely mess up the mess and make it difficult for him to have peace!" Xu Jinghong's eyes flashed, and the blood in his body began to boil.

"Good! Hurry up, you can select 5,000 people from our 100,000 army in Youzhou, and then set out. Whether you are a soldier or a general, I will promise you whichever you want!"

"The last general is ordered! Xu Jinghong saluted again, but attracted the envious eyes of other generals. Everyone hopes to earn this credit, but after all, let this young man take it. However, many of these people are self-aware. After all, it is not easy to break into the field. They still dare not go to carefully analyze their own ability. So after the matter was settled, they were not too dissatisfied, but they were just envious.

After the selection of leading the troops was finalized, Wang Chong ordered the logistics officials who were responsible for preparing food and fodder for the soldiers and horses of the whole city to prepare food for Xu Jinghong's 5,000 people, and then let everyone disperse.

Xu Jinghong recruited the 20 closest brothers. After telling the news, everyone was very excited and wiped their hands one by one, saying that they would join him again to make a contribution. Because these people have also made great efforts in dealing with Geng He and other traitors this time, they have also been promoted, and they have all become military attaches in the army. This time, there is such a great credit in front of us, so naturally I don't want to miss it.

"Do you understand that you must go with me? This pot is no better than the original capital. It is dangerous at any time, and it is normal to lose your life. And now that you have a serious background, there is no need to take such a big risk. Xu Jinghong asked solemnly.

For this, Xiong Geng first laughed and said, "What the team said is that if we compare our origin and status, none of us can compare with you. You are all unified, and you dare to take this risk, so what are we brothers afraid of? Moreover, to be honest, this small position is not what our brothers can like now. Since there is a better opportunity, we should fight for it.

"Yes, the team is right. Our brothers have been following you for some time. When did we leave you because of difficulties? And since the team dares to go, you must have your own confidence. Why should we bear this distractment? The old dog also said.

After that, others said that they must go to Hudi with Xu Jinghong this time to recover the blood debts for the innocent people killed by the Hu people! Seeing that everyone meant this, Xu Jinghong stopped persuading him. He nodded and said, "Okay! Since you have made up your mind, I will not fail to take you there. However, this entry is different from the past, so you must not be soft when you meet the goal!"

"How can we be soft-handed when we meet Hu people? Don't worry, we will never let you down!"

"Okay, next, you will go with me to choose the same choice, and you can follow my standards!" Xu Jinghong said the conditions of the candidates he needed to select this time, which surprised the other brothers.

It turns out that Xu Jinghong did not choose a person who is good at fighting and strictlyshou military discipline this time. On the contrary, those battalions are the most fierce, often violate military discipline, or soldiers who have been punished for robbing people's property have become his targets.

Everyone is a little confused about such a candidate. But now that Wang Chong has given all the power to Xu Jinghong, they will naturally cooperate. In addition, because these people are mostly thorns in the barracks, the generals are eager to let them leave their subordinates, so they also strongly cooperate with such demands.

In this way, the selection will be smoother than expected, but in one day, nearly 3,000 people have been selected. These people are all very fierce. In fact, their combat effectiveness is not low, but they can't be promoted because of their temper. This time, these people came together, which made the battalion generals really worried.

At the same time, the work of preparing food and fodder for this man is also going all out. Although it is only 5,000 people to eat, it is a little difficult for these cavalry to bring convenience - they don't have any logistical support and need to bring their own - and bring enough.

At this time, Xu Jinghong gave Wang Chong a suggestion - let people grind all kinds of rice noodles and other foods into powder and cook them, and then mix them with seasonings such as salt and sugar and a certain amount of meat, which became the ration for the soldiers. At the same time, Xu Jinghong also proposed to have nearly 10,000 intestinal bags sewn into these directly edible food, which solves the two problems of preparation and packaging.

When Wang Chong tried to use this food once because he was worried that it could not fill the soldiers, he gave up his previous idea: "This food is really good. It's not only rich in taste, but also full. It's good."

"Especially after mixed with water on it, it will make people more full." Xu Jinghong laughed and said, "And this sausage bag can hold more than ten catties of this kind of food, which is enough for soldiers to use for a few days."

"Yes, this sausage bag is also convenient for horses and soldiers to carry. It is indeed the best food for a long-range attack." Wang Junqing also couldn't help admiring after looking at these two things: "Now everyone brings two, and there is no need to worry about food in those ten days and a half months. Jinghong, your ability is really endless.

"General Wang praised too much. I just learned from other people's inventions." Xu Jinghong laughed. He told the truth that our soldiers in later generations can achieve all kinds of incredible hundreds of miles of trek success in the difficult battle environment, relying on the protection of fried noodles and this kind of sausage bag. Of course, the father and son of the Wang family don't know about this, and they just regard it as Xu Jinghong's modesty.

In this way, with everyone's concerted efforts, people and food have been well prepared. On the third day of December, Xu Jinghong left Youzhou with 5,000 elite horses and went north.

Five thousand people are cavalry, and the speed is naturally not slow. But less than half an hour, Xu Jinghong suddenly ordered everyone to stop, which puzzled the soldiers who followed him. These people are all restless people in the camp. Even if Xu Jinghong has become his immediate superior this time, he does not have much respect. They all talked about it below:

"What, are you going to go to the ground at this speed? If that's the case, we won't get there at all.

"Yes, this guy is afraid again and dare not go. This is too humiliating. I made a bet with my brothers when I came out. I'm going to make a great contribution this time!"

"Hey, this boy is so young, what can he do? The previous credit is great, but in fact, I think it was blown out, right?

Just as everyone was talking, Xu Jinghong had come to them with a cold face, then secretly breathed and shouted, "Shut up!"

This sound, like a dry thunder, directly covered up everyone's voice, which made the sergeants look awe-in, and everyone found that this young general was not simple.

"Look at what you look like. Do you look like a soldier? Can you fight against the ferocious barbarian like this? Xu Jinghong sneered, "I don't want to take you to hell. That will only give the Hu people a chance to laugh at my Song Dynasty!"

"Xu Dutong, why do you say that we are not opponents of the barbarians?" Suddenly, several soldiers couldn't help retorting.

"Well, you don't even know how to fully implement the military order of your boss. Why do you fight and win?" Xu Jinghong sneered again: "And the reason why I suddenly stopped is to warn you of the important points.

"We went to Hudi this time without a clear goal, no logistical support, and no backup. Everything depends on ourselves! Under such circumstances, if we want to win, we must face all difficulties and make any sacrifice! Don't think that if you go to Hudi this time, you will soon make a great contribution and tell you that it is impossible! It won't fall from the sky by itself. It's up to you to fight with your own lives!

"We are not familiar with Hudi's environment, so everything in the future should be under my command. No matter who dares to disobey my orders, I will not give him a second chance to die! Do you all remember?"

"..." The soldiers were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect Xu Jinghong to say such heavy words, and they really didn't react for a moment.

But Xu Jinghong didn't want to wait so long and immediately asked, "What, are you all deaf? In this case, you all go back to Youzhou!"

"We remember!" Someone reacted and bravely agreed. It's a shame that they don't really want to go back like this.

"Why, don't you even have the strength to speak? I didn't hear anything!" Xu Jinghong shouted dissatisfiedly.

"We all remember!" This time, everyone roared with all their strength.

"Okay, it looks like you're going to make contributions." Xu Jinghong's face came with a smile: "You can rest assured that since you went to kill the enemy with me, you will definitely get what you want. Whether it is wealth or credit, it will belong to you after this battle, as long as you can come back alive!"

After suppressing the soldiers, Xu Jinghong said, "This time, we will enter Hudi as soon as possible, so we will only have two hours of rest in these two days. Now, everyone has some food, and then we will leave in half an hour. We won't have any rest before dawn tomorrow!"

"Yes!" This time, everyone didn't say anything strange. They quickly took out the powder from the intestines with unskilled movements and ate and drank the boiling snow water.

Team Zheng, I have never understood why you chose these people. Although they are fierce, they may not be much stronger when they really fight with the barbarians. And it's too hard to restrain them." Wang Liehai asked puzzledly. As the grandson of Wang Chong, he did not have special treatment because of his special status, and even took this risk with Xu Jinghong.

Xu Jinghong also snores food and said, "You will only know this when facing our goal. If we don't choose them, I'm afraid our plan may not be fully successful.

After a little rest, Xu Jinghong let everyone set off again. This will be a long-term breakthrough, and it will not stabilize again until he enters Hudi.

At this time, the people of Bingzhou City had already known the defeat of Youzhou City, which delayed their plan to immediately enter the Central Plains.

"How did Xiao Mo lead the soldiers? How could he be defeated by Song people so easily!"

"I heard that Song people won this time by relying on a night attack. Should we consider going back to attack Youzhou? Otherwise, if the Song people cut off the back road behind us, it would be troublesome for us to enter the Central Plains.

"No, our plan can't change! I also believe that Song's internal contradictions will help us this time! Youzhou, sooner or later, it will be ours!" A barbarian who was almost ten feet tall squinted and said, and at the same time, he also turned his eyes to the southern sky. He hoped to step into a new territory that his ancestors had never entered!
