Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

Chapter 242 Northern Expedition

The order was conveyed immediately, and all the soldiers of the Third Army of the Northern Shaanxi Imperial Army immediately stopped their training. They began to pack weapons, food, clothes, etc. In less than half an hour, all the soldiers had been packed! They lined up in pairs with backpacks on their backs!

Then, the entire third army marched towards Yan'an Mansion in the east!

It is hundreds of miles away from Yan'an Mansion. The soldiers have been training for a day, but at the moment when the military order is issued, no one is slack or lagging behind. Everyone is running forward in big strides!

The winter night in northern Shaanxi is extremely cold! But the soldiers were sweating all over at the moment, but they didn't feel the cold!

Along the way, I could only hear footsteps, but not the slightest voice! The Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army has extremely strict military discipline, and whispering is not allowed during the march!

It was getting darker and darker, but they were still striding forward! It wasn't until midnight that they came to a leeward place, where they would take a rest!

"Why did the military department ask us to gather urgently? Go to Yan'an Mansion?" At this time, the soldiers began to talk!

"Could it be the Northern Expedition to Xixia? Since last winter, the military department has sent orders to make us ready to go north at all times! This time the military department suddenly asked us to go to Yan'an Mansion, I am afraid it is to gather a large army and go northward with all our strength! " said a soldier next to him.

"Is this true?" The soldier who spoke before was extremely excited.

"If there are no accidents, it should be true!" The soldier behind said.

At this moment, the soldiers in the army are talking about this matter, and all the soldiers are very excited! They longed for war, they looked forward to war, they waited for a long time, and finally waited for the arrival of war!

"Don't talk! Hurry up and rest! What is it, even I am not sure now! The military department just ordered us to rush to Yan'an Mansion tomorrow morning! When we arrive at Yan'an Mansion, we will know what it is! "Mo Biao was inspecting the army, and when he heard the soldiers talking, he shouted loudly.

The soldiers seized the time to rest, they ate dry and hard pancakes, and they poured snow into their mouths to quench their thirst!

Half an hour later, the third army continued to set off! Ten thousand people are still striding towards the Yan'an Mansion in the east!

Along the way, they became more and more tired, and their speed gradually slowed down, but still no one stopped!

The sky gradually brightened, and a big city appeared faintly in the distance! Seeing this big city, all the soldiers cheered!

The convenience before is Yan'an Mansion!

The soldiers of the third army speeded up, and they ran towards that side! After a quarter of an hour, they finally came to the city of Yan'an Mansion! There are already densely packed soldiers standing here, and countless teams gather here! Mo Biao immediately led the third army into the main army, all the soldiers stood there quietly, no one dared to make noise!

*** ***

On the city wall of Yan'an Mansion, Li Xianzhong in military uniform was standing above and looking at the army below!

Li Yanxian was standing beside him!

These two people, one is the commander-in-chief of the Song Dynasty after Yue Fei and Han Shizhong, who controlled the world's soldiers and horses, and defeated the golden soldiers many times! One is the famous rebel leader in history! This time Li Xianzhong is the coach, and Li Yanxian is now his deputy!

"The current army is far better than the original rebel army!" Li Xianzhong laughed as he looked at the scene below.

"That's right! The fighting power of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army is more than ten times that of before! The Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army only needs 10,000 people to defeat all the thirty-six rebels!" Li Yanxian said with emotion.

At this moment, Li Yanxian also has to admit that the "Infantry Manual" is unpredictable. In less than two years, the army has undergone earth-shaking changes, and the army's combat power has improved by leaps and bounds! The current army is the real army, even far surpassing the Western Army at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty!

The Guanshan area has been constantly fighting for a hundred years. This is the base camp of the Western Army. Li Yanxian has also seen the demeanor of the Western Army before! But there is a big difference between the Western Army back then and the Forbidden Army in Northern Shaanxi!

"The Western Army back then was able to compete with the Western Xia Army, but now our Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army is far better than the Western Army back then, and we will definitely be able to defeat the Western Xia Army!" Li Yanxian said.

"That's right! Moreover, it's not just our Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army that is dispatched this time. There is also the Hundred Thousand Jingyuan Army to the west. They will enter Xixia from Qinfeng Road and attack the main force of Xixia with us! In addition, the fifty thousand Huanqing Army will also join us. Follow us into Xixia and help us fight! Xixia has a total force of more than 400,000 troops, and we mobilized 250,000 troops! But our strategy is not trivial. I have read the Northern Expedition plan sent by the General Staff Headquarters. As long as this plan If it can be carried out, the main force of Xixia will definitely be wiped out! Even if Xixia does not destroy the country, it will not be able to go south within 20 years!" Li Xianzhong said.

"Commander, our people have arrived!" Li Yanxian said.

"Very good! Let's go down!" Li Xianzhong said.

At that moment, Li Xianzhong, Li Yanxian and others came down from the city wall, and they came to the middle of the army! Seeing the commander-in-chief of the Northern Shaanxi Forbidden Army arrive, the surrounding area became even quieter. Except for the sound of the wind, there was no other sound!

"Brothers, I received His Majesty's decree yesterday! His Majesty ordered that the 100,000 troops of the Imperial Guards in Northern Shaanxi be dispatched and attack Xixia directly!" Li Xianzhong said.

His inner strength is so deep that his voice can be heard far away!

After hearing this voice, the soldiers below suddenly boiled! Although they had guessed that they might enter Xixia before, they didn't confirm it. Now they heard the coach say this with their own ears, and they were extremely excited!

"Come on, push that person up to me!" Li Xianzhong shouted loudly.

After hearing this voice, several soldiers escorted a person to Li Xianzhong! I saw that this man was thick and thick, with a beard all over his face, he was dressed in rich clothes, and his head was dressed like a Xixia person!

The man was forced to kneel on the ground, facing the 100,000 troops below!

The 100,000 troops below all looked at this Xixia man in surprise, not knowing who this Xixia man was!

"This person is Jin Wang Li Qianming of Xixia! Six days ago, this person went to see His Majesty as an envoy of Xixia!" Li Xianzhong said.

After Li Xianzhong finished speaking, the faces of the soldiers below showed astonished expressions! Since this person is an envoy of Xixia, why treat him like this? You know, the ancients paid attention to "the two countries go to war, and the envoys are not beheaded"! The other party is the envoy of Xixia, even if Da Song wants to use force against Xixia, he will not humiliate their envoy!

"Do you know what the first thing he said after meeting His Majesty?" Li Xianzhong said.

The soldiers below shook their heads.

Li Xianzhong had an extremely indignant expression on his face, and said: "He actually asked His Majesty to kneel down to accept the order!"

"What!" Immediately, the 100,000 soldiers below were shocked, and after a while, there was a lot of curses! No one thought that Xixia's envoys would be so rampant to such an unbelievable degree! The envoys of Xixia dared to make the emperor of the Han people kneel down to accept their will! Over the years, the military has promoted extreme militaristic thinking, and the military is extremely hostile to foreigners. At this moment, the soldiers' emotions are about to explode!

"Do you know what is written in the Xixia Emperor's letter of credence?" Li Xianzhong asked again.

"I don't know!" The soldiers below shook their heads one after another!

"The emperor of Xixia... actually insulted His Majesty so much! He asked His Majesty to call him Grandpa! He asked His Majesty to present the Queen to Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia!" Li Xianzhong gritted his teeth.

"What!" The 100,000 soldiers below were stunned again, and then cursed one by one!

Guanshan, Hanzhong, everywhere is promoting personality worship! Zhao Chen has already been proclaimed to be a saint and a god-man, and the emperor of Xixia insulted the leader in the hearts of soldiers so much, how could these soldiers agree?

"What do you think we should do now?" Li Xianzhong asked loudly.

"Fight! Fight! Fight..." Such voices are everywhere, earth-shattering! All the soldiers are filled with righteous indignation, they can't wait to rush to Xixia now and wipe out Xixia!

"That's right! Fight! Only by fighting, only by destroying Xixia can wash away the shame they have brought to His Majesty and the Song Dynasty! Now, set out immediately, destroy Xixia, capture the emperor of Xixia alive, and let him kneel in front of His Majesty to forgive his sins!" Li Xianzhong loudly the way.

The soldiers below all nodded excitedly. Under Li Xianzhong's order, the 100,000 troops headed north!

"Are you crazy?" Xi Xia Jin Wang Li Qianming knelt on the ground and asked in disbelief.

"Crazy?" Li Xianzhong looked at him and said in astonishment.

"Your little emperor only has half the land and half the strength of before! Now that you are facing the oppression of Emperor Jianyan and the Great Jin Kingdom, you still dare to use force against us Xixia? Aren't you crazy?" Li Qianming said.

"Barbarians sitting in a well watching the sky! What a thing! You dare to insult the Emperor of Song Dynasty, you should have been executed early! But because you are an envoy of Xixia, this will spare your life! Now, you dare to speak coldly, the heart of the cholera army! Hmph , Your Majesty can spare you, but I, Li Xianzhong, cannot spare you!" Li Xianzhong sneered.

"What are you going to do?" Li Qianming asked loudly, feeling something was wrong. Li Xianzhong had already kicked towards Li Qianming, only to hear Li Qianming scream, his mouth was full of blood, and all his teeth were knocked out!

Li Xianzhong stomped on Li Qianming fiercely again, and Li Qianming screamed again. He felt that his internal organs were almost crushed! He moaned and couldn't get up again!

"Cut off his ears! Take him to Xixia! When you arrive at Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Xixia, return him to the Emperor of Xixia!" Li Xianzhong said coldly.

At this moment, Li Xianzhong was already on his horse, following the army to the north!
