Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

The heavy snow for several days has already stopped, and in the morning, the sun is shining all over the earth!

It's just that the snow on the ground still hasn't melted, and the cold wind is still blowing. It's a cold and sunny day!

It was at this time that Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others came to the Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo.

When it was more than ten miles away from Liaoyang Mansion, the sound of horseshoes came from the south. Not long after, Zhang Xian led more than 10,000 elite soldiers to meet them!

On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, in name Yue Fei led an army of 50,000 to go south, but in fact it was Zhang Xian who led an army to go south! It has been half a month since Zhang Xian came to Liaoyang City, and yesterday he got the news that Zhao Chen was coming!

"The last general will see His Majesty!" Zhang Xian got off his horse and knelt down on the ground, excitedly saying.

"I'll wait to see His Majesty!" The soldiers behind knelt down and said in unison.

"Get up quickly!" Zhao Chen laughed loudly.

Zhang Xian and the soldiers just got on their horses, and everyone looked at Zhao Chen with joyful expressions! Zhao Chen's ability to restore the country mainly relied on the army. He had a high prestige in the army, and the soldiers not only respected him but also loved him.

"Your Majesty, let's go to Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xian said.

"Okay! Liaoyang is the former Tokyo of the Liao Kingdom. It can be said that it is the first city in Liaodong. I have long wanted to take a look! These were the territories of foreigners before, but now they belong to us Han people!" Zhao Chen laughed.

The weather is cold, but Zhao Chen still wears very thin clothes. His martial arts are so strong that he has already entered the state of invulnerability to cold and heat! Looking at the soldiers in front of him and the faint Liaoyang City in the distance, he was also very excited!

There was snow everywhere in the distance, and they started galloping on this boundless snow field!

"How is the current situation of the Korean people?" Zhao Chen asked.

Yue Fei, Wang Shu, Yu Yunwen and others were all beside Zhao Chen, listening attentively.

"Your Majesty, after our army arrived, the Koreans never moved forward again! But they have taken all the cities east of Zhenhai Mansion, and all the cities south of Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xiandao.

"What is the exact strength of the Koreans?" Yue Fei asked.

"In the beginning, their strength was 250,000, but recently they have increased their strength by 100,000, and now their strength has reached 350,000!" Zhang Xian said.

"They have a lot of troops! By the way, who is their general?" Zhao Chen said.

"Their general is called Cui Zhuo, a well-known general in Goryeo! Now this Cui Zhuo is named Marshal of Zhengxi by the King of Goryeo, and all 350,000 Goryeo soldiers and horses are under his command!" Zhang Xian said.

"Marshal Zhengxi? Ridiculous!" Zhao Chen had a mocking expression on his face.

"General Zhang, have the Koreans attempted to attack Liaoyang City during this period?" Yu Yunwen asked.

"They didn't attack Liaoyang City, but now some of the Koryo troops are in the south of Liaoyang City, only 30 miles away from Liaoyang City!" Zhang Xian said.

"Oh? How many soldiers and horses are there in this part of Korea?" Yue Fei asked immediately.

"There are about 50,000 people!" Zhang Xian said.

"I want to go to the Korean barracks to see what the Koreans are like. Are you interested in going with me?" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said abruptly.

"This..." Yue Fei was stunned for a moment, and said, "Your Majesty has such a noble status, how could he take the risk and go to the Korean military camp?"

"I just went to have a look, not to fight them right away! Zhang Xian, is the Goryeo army infantry or cavalry?" Zhao Chen said.

"There are very few cavalry in the Goryeo army, and most of them are infantry!" Zhang Xian said.

"We are all cavalry, are we afraid that they will fail as infantry? Let's go and have a look!" Zhao Chen said.

Yue Fei was silent for a moment, no longer obstructing, and the army galloped towards the south!

When Yue Fei went south, he led 20,000 cavalry, and Zhang Xian led 10,000 cavalry. Now these 30,000 cavalry are going south together, and the scale is huge!

They passed by the west side of Liaoyang City. Zhao Chen looked at Liaoyang City and saw the tall and simple city walls here! There is still a wide moat under the city wall, but the weather in the northeast is too cold, and now the moat is still frozen!

"The five capitals of the Liao Kingdom are all very important! Needless to say, Yanjing and Datong, Shangjing and Zhongjing guard the grasslands, and Tokyo is the center of Liaodong! If we want to govern the north, we must first govern these big cities!" Zhao Chen said.

"Your Majesty is right! Whether it is Shangjing, Zhongjing, or Tokyo, we must send important ministers from the court to garrison!" Yu Yunwen said.

"Yunwen, I intend to hand over Liaodong to you to manage, are you interested?" Zhao Chen said.

"This...is the best!" Yu Yunwen was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Since you have been with me, you have spent most of your time working beside me, and there is no real ruling party! So, although you are excellent, you still lack some governance experience! I am very young, and you are also very young. We still have There is a long way to go, so you can't stay by my side all the time, you have to go to the local government and grow up, so that you can take on more important tasks in the future!" Zhao Chen said.

"I understand, thank you, Your Majesty!" Yu Yunwen said.

Zhao Chen nodded with a smile. He is looking forward to Yu Yunwen very much, and appreciates Yu Yunwen's talent very much! It's just that Yu Yunwen is really too young, so he still needs to let Yu Yunwen polish it for a few more years before talking!

"Liaodong is not very far from Yanjing. If there is something urgent, you can return to Yanjing and report to me in person." Zhao Chen said.

"My minister knows!" Yu Yunwen said.

The 30,000 troops rode their horses and galloped, and after half an hour, at nearly noon, they arrived in front of the Koryo military camp.

Song Jun's speed slowed down, Zhao Chen, Yue Fei, Yu Yunwen and others rode at the forefront, and they kept looking forward.

At this time, a Korean army appeared in the distance!

The costumes of these Goryeo troops are very weird. They wear very tall hats, and they even wear robes, and armor on the outside of the robes! They held halberds in their hands, and the team was very neat!

"Let's go, accompany me to have a look!" Zhao Chen said.

He suddenly galloped towards the Goryeo army, Yue Fei and others hurriedly followed.

After a while, they came to these Koreans!

There are about 200 Koreans in front of them, and their formation is still very neat, but they all have panic expressions on their faces, and many Koreans have expressions of bewilderment on their faces.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others circled around these Koreans and returned to the Song army again, and those Koreans were already running towards the south in a hurry.

"How about Goryeo's army?" Zhao Chen asked.

"Their formation is neat, and it seems that they have trained a lot on weekdays! It's just that their clothes are weird, which is not conducive to combat at all! Our army is all wearing Hu suits for riding and shooting, while they are wearing long clothes and long clothes. Coat! Their weapons are all halberds, which are not as good as our infantry’s spears and Song crossbows. As for our cavalry’s various weapons, including close combat and long-distance combat, they are far inferior! Their soldiers look thinner, their bodies Their quality is average, but our soldiers are much stronger, and their physical fitness is far superior to them! What's more, their soldiers lack toughness!" Yue Fei said.

"Strong air?" Wang Shu asked strangely.

"A truly powerful army is an army and soldier who has gone through thousands of trials and countless battles, has infinite self-confidence, bravery, and courage, and can fight the enemy without hesitation when necessary! Such an army and soldier are like lions and tigers, unrivaled ! It seems that the Goryeo army in front of me is vulnerable to my Song army! We are like strong adults, and they are toddlers!" Yue Fei said.

"Well said! They lack murderous aura and arrogance! Although they are in neat formation, they are just showing their appearance, and their real strength is not even mentioned!" Zhao Chen nodded and said.

Zhao Chen, Yue Fei and others continued to move forward. Along the way, they kept seeing Goryeo's patrolling troops. These Goryeo's patrolling troops were terrified and fled towards the south one after another.

Soon after, the sound of war drums came from the Koryo army, and the Koryo barracks were full of noise.

"Send someone to the Koryo army and tell the Koryo general here that I have come to Liaoyang City, please go to Liaoyang City to see me!" Zhao Chen thought for a while and said.

*** ***

The Korean army was in chaos. Two quarters of an hour had passed, and the Koreans hadn't finished their formation yet.

At this moment, in the tent in the middle of the Koryo military camp, more than a dozen Koryo generals are sitting here, and there are also a few Confucian scholars here.

One of the generals in his thirties was a little fat, with a swollen face, his eyes were small, but there was a cold light in them, and there was a small beard under his chin, the roots of which were like iron! He is not very handsome, but he is wearing a golden helmet and a red cape, which makes him look extraordinary!

He is Jin Changsheng, the leader of this Korean army!

"Song Jun actually came outside our barracks, what should we do?" Jin Changsheng asked, sweeping his eyes over the generals below.

"Of course it's a battle with them!" A general in his forties with fair skin stood up and said.

"General, we may not be the opponents of the Song army!" At this moment, a middle-aged Confucian scholar stood up and said.

This Confucian scholar is Jin Changsheng's military adviser, Li Rui, a famous wise man in Korea!

"Master Li, you've disturbed our army's morale before we set out, you really deserve to die!" Suddenly a general in his twenties stood up and shouted coldly.

"That's right, Master Li, you can't disturb our morale!" Jin Changsheng also nodded and said.

"General, the fact that the Song army has been able to defeat the Jurchen over the years proves their strength!" Li Rui said.

"Mere Jurchens, that's nothing! Didn't the Jurchens never cross the Great Wall back then? Didn't the Koreans reach Liaodong now? We didn't see the Jurchens stop them either?" Jin Changsheng said.

"That's because the Jurchens are restrained by the Song army!" Li Rui said.

"Since the fall of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the Han people have declined! Their territory is getting smaller and smaller, and their army is getting weaker and weaker! They are not even the opponents of the Xixia people, and we are not weaker than the Xixia people, right? The Han people can defeat the Jurchen , that’s because the number of Jurchen soldiers and horses is really too small. They fought from the north to the Central Plains. The battle line was too long and the supply was insufficient, so the Han people took advantage! We don’t want to take down the entire Central Plains, we just want to It’s just to restore the former Goguryeo! In Liaodong, we will have to fight the Song army sooner or later, we can’t be afraid of them!” Jin Changsheng said.

Li Rui frowned, and stopped talking now.

Jin Changsheng stood up at this moment, he was about to order the whole army to attack, at this moment the voice of soldiers reporting came from outside.
