News of the Western Army's defeat in Baigou came, and Wang Xiao had made all preparations here.

The food and fodder that was enough for the army to eat for two years was transported to Dulonggang early, and the armor and weapons bought from the arsenal of Bianliang City were also equipped.

The elite stalkers of hundreds of people had already sneaked into the Yanyun area a few months ago, and the information on all aspects had been spying very detailed.

The soldiers who have received strict training for a long time are already full of morale and are full of anger and want to go to war.

Everything is ready, only the order from Bianliang City is owed.

The city of Bianliang is now in chaos.

It took countless efforts and even made the world excited to conquer Yan donations. It finally promoted the great cause of attacking Yan that had not been in a century. But the result was that the 100,000 army was almost collapsed.

The main force of the Liao army had actually been defeated by the Jin people, and the ones stationed in Yanyun were just a group of defeated soldiers.

But these remnants of defeated generals beat the Western Army, known as the elite in the world, to the forefront.

This battle awakened the king and ministers of Zhao Song, allowing them to truly see how weak the Song Dynasty's military equipment was.

After surviving the initial chaos, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty began to have a headache about what to do next.

Tong Guanliang Shicheng and others proposed to mobilize the Japanese troops stationed in Jiangnan to go north and attack Yan again.

However, Gao Qiu and Wang Fu and others said that it is best to invite the gold man to help attack Yan Yun for the money.

Anyway, I have been used to spending money to eliminate disasters in the Song Dynasty, so I am definitely familiar with it easily.

As for Cai Jing, who was re-entered, he didn't say a word and didn't know what he was thinking.

It was indeed Tong Guan who proposed to mobilize Wang Xiao to the north, but Gao Qiu firmly opposed it.

Tong Guan’s plan is very simple. If the 100,000 Western Army is defeated, what’s the use of the thousands of troops under Wang Xiao? Come and fight another defeat, you can’t just let him lose face. You can also weaken Gao Qiu and the others’ strength.

Gao Qiu and the others were unwilling to send the only troops under their command into the fire pit and oppose it with all their might.

The two sides were quarreling for two months, but they couldn't decide the outcome.

That is, Yelu Dashi and the others were unwilling to be attacked from both sides when the Jin soldiers were in the face of the border. After defeating the Western Army, they did not continue to pursue them. Otherwise, the Liao army might have already attacked Bianliang City now.

The upset Zhao Ji finally looked at Cai Jing.

"The official family. Da Song can't afford to lose now."

Cai Jing did not directly say which side to support, but said directly, "If so many donations for the attack on Yan were collected, if they ended in defeat, the whole world would probably be in turmoil."

The whole world frantically squeezed out tens of millions of yuan to attack Yan and donate it in order to recapture Yan Yun in the army.

If they had spent so much money, they would eventually return in a crushing defeat. Those people of the Song Dynasty who were already full of anger would not have the rebels from all over the country.

"I know!"

Zhao Ji waved his hand irritably, "Just tell me what to do."

"Official family." Cai Jing, who had white hair and hair, looked at his complexion, but he was older. "Whether it was a new force, or a gold man in the business, the purpose was for Yan Yun. Since that's the case, let's do it together."

“How to do it together?”

"Mobilize the army that can fight north to reinforce and fight again. If you still can't win, then ask the Jin people to send troops to help. No matter what means you use, Yan Yun must take it."

Cai Jing was very angry about Zhu Xie's affairs.

This is obviously because Liang Shicheng and Wang Fu and others joined forces to cheat themselves. Now they are promoting the second attack on Yan, just for revenge.

Cai Jing was prime minister for twenty years, and his understanding of the combat effectiveness of the Song army was absolutely unreachable.

He knew very well that the 100,000 Western Army had been defeated, and even adding Wu Erlang's thousands of troops would be useless.

Since we still have to pay gold in the end, let Wang Fu and Liang Shicheng and their soldiers be ruined for a while before talking about it.

Zhao Ji, who was originally unwilling to accept defeat, ordered the mobilization of troops to attack Yan again after Cai Jing was sent to the stairs.

This time, not only did Wang Xiao's right wing of the Japanese army go north, but the Bianliang imperial guards also want to draw troops and horses to go north together.

As the news came out, countless people from the Bianliang Imperial Army immediately became ill and asked for leave. They were circulating all over the streets, and no one was willing to die.

In the end, he forced his way to fight, but almost caused chaos.

The imperial guards in Bianliang City joined the army for the money and food, but they didn't really have to go to the battlefield to fight desperately.

After so many years of reproduction, the relationships within the imperial guard system are complicated, and there are connections everywhere, and there are even connections connecting to the palace.

The matter of finally mobilizing the imperial guards in Bianliang City could only be left alone.

The only one who really went north was Commander Wang Xiao who supported the Japanese army's right wing.

In order to strengthen the momentum, in addition to providing more troops to the camp, Wang Xiao was also allowed to recruit soldiers from the north to increase the number of people.

In everyone's opinion, Wang Xiao must have shirked.

After all, anyone likes to stay and enjoy the bustling Jiangnan area, and no one wants to do such things as going north to die.

But what everyone did not expect was that Wang Xiao received the order to dispatch troops from the Privy Council and took it without hesitation. Three days later, the army set off.

He has been waiting for this day for a long time.

In the past, Wang Xiao always rode a horse when he sent troops to fight, but this time he was a rare carriage.

As for the reason, it was because he brought Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang with him.

The carriage was not big, and there were three people sitting there a little crowded.

Wang Xiao held the teacup and drank the tea, and watched Zhao Fujin and Hu Sanniang play Monopoly with great enthusiasm.

"Why are you willing to bring us this time?" Hu Sanniang, who won two games in a row, happily counted the copper coins in her hand, with her beautiful phoenix eyes facing Wang Xiao. "Didn't we throw us away in the past?"

Of course, it is because this time I want to rule Yan Yun, and I will be hostages if I leave you down.

Wang Xiao continued the conversation, "There was no way before, but now I will always take you by my side and never be separated."

Zhao Fujin was gentle and emotional, and his big watery eyes fell on Wang Xiao without blinking.

Hu Sanniang is lively, but she doesn't believe Wang Xiao's words, "Really?"

She is wearing a lake-green long skirt, a silver hairpin that gathers her beautiful hair like clouds, and sets off her pretty cheeks.

Looking at Hu Sanniang full of youthful atmosphere, Wang Xiao put down the teacup in his hand with a funny look, "It's more real than real gold. Why are you guarding me like a thief all day long? Am I not good to you?"

Zhao Fujin's laughter sounded in the shaking carriage.

The laughter came out and soon disappeared into the winding marching queue outside.

The official road leading to Daming Mansion was already covered by soldiers and horses that could not be seen at first sight.

Wang Xiao took out his homemade playing cards from the wooden box beside him, "Come and play Landlords, whoever loses will win, how about it?"

"Wouldn't you take a big advantage?"

"That's what I mean, I want to kiss you and you still use this?"

"Let's play with copper coins."

"Okay, I have to win you as a skirt today."

------

Wang Xiao has seen and experienced countless battlefields.

He knew very well how terrible a war would be to people's livelihood, and it was a truly devastating disaster.

Once the battle begins, the most unlucky one is the civilians.

The army on both sides set off, and men, women, young and old within a radius of hundreds of miles were arrested and used as cannon fodder for civilians.

War soldiers have to fight, and their strength cannot be used on all kinds of idle and trivial matters.

The people who set up camps, boil water and chop firewood, transport supplies, and dig trenches to resist horses.

People will be taken away, and food will be scattered, and even houses will be demolished to be used as raw materials.

The fields are deserted, and the house is turned into white land. Before the battle begins, there are corpses everywhere behind it.

In ancient times, people tried desperately to get rid of corvee labor, especially as civilians who followed the army to the front line, because most of the people who went there would be buried in a foreign land.

When Wang Xiao came to Baigou, he saw everything he saw, and was full of devastation.

There are wild grass growing everywhere in the fields. In the village, every family is ruined. Beside the gullies and roads, white bones are buried in it.

When prosperity occurs, the people suffer. When death occurs, the people suffer.

The bones are exposed in the wild, and there is no rooster crowing thousands of miles away. This poem by Wei Wu tells the truth about the war.

A team of cavalry roared in the distance, and a young general was led by a prisoner dressed in Liao people under his arm.

When he arrived in front of Wang Xiao's horse, the young general still held the prisoner in front of Wang Xiao, turned over and dismounted to salute.

"The last general Yang Zaixing was ordered to rob and kill the Liao people in Yuanluo, and here to report it."

This time, all the troops of the Western Army were waiting to watch the show a hundred miles away.

It was said that it was to support the Japanese army's support, but Wang Xiao knew very well that Tong Guan was asking him to die, and there would never be a soldier or a soldier to reinforce him.

“It’s better.”

For Wang Xiao, it is even better for no one to disturb and restrain him.
