Han Shizhong is well known to the world. He has not received any systematic military education, and he is not as diligent in studying as Yue Fei. Therefore, for a long time, the Zhao Guan family felt that he was more suitable for small-scale battles to display personal bravery, such as Pan Pan.
The Xixia prince-in-law retreated intact, but commanding a large army in battle may not necessarily achieve good results.
This was indeed the case in the original history. The 100,000-strong army lost the battle against the Jin army. As a result, only 8,000 remaining soldiers fought the Battle of Huangtiandang, almost capturing Jin Wushu alive and leaving his name in history.
But you can't always look at a person through the eyes of the past. Zhao Jiu himself also affirmed that Marshal Han had made necessary knowledge additions in order to realize his plan to destroy the country. After all, the ability to constantly seek knowledge is a necessary skill for any famous general in ancient times. Otherwise,
No one can rest on their laurels for a lifetime.
It is true that he was greatly annoyed by Zhang Jun, and he indeed caused some losses, but if the lack of military action for more than half a month was all because of this Wuhou fan, then Xianggong Zhang really deserves a big blame.
The reason is actually simple. Han Shizhong is also investigating how to fight based on geography and customs. The first is the problem of miasma and dense forests. This is something that the Central Plains people cannot overcome for a while, and there is nothing to say. But then again, even if the place of Annan starts from Zhao
Counting Tu, people have been living there for more than a thousand years. Since others can live in it, it means that development has reached a certain level. There is always a place for them to adapt and a place for marching, but it has just been divided.
Han Shizhong mainly dispatched various troops these days, just to connect these points and ensure his own advance route and withdrawal route. After all, this is different from the last time Yue Yun had a small fight in Dali. First, Dali did not dare to really stab him.
Knife, the second is that there is a leading party internally.
Now that these advantages are gone, Han Shizhong naturally has to figure out that during the Xining period of the Guo Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of troops stopped at the Red River and were forced to turn back by the geography of the mountains and rivers. Isn't that what he suffered!
That's why I say that Shao Long's words are 90% true and 100% false. Marshal Han did send many small teams to survey the terrain, and it is true that he cannot guarantee that everyone is safe. After all, the general will inevitably die before the battle. As for deliberately letting Shao Long die
, then it’s just him slandering Zhang Jun, and he’s still waiting for your field army to contribute!
At the end of December, Han Shizhong personally rode his horse to the edge of the Red River to take a look. Although the weather was hot and would not freeze, the water level had still dropped to the naked eye. He asked Zhao Shicheng, the censor accompanying the army, "Where is the highest water level?"
On both sides of the Taiwan Strait recently, you must have done the reconnaissance, and another 10,000 troops and horses have arrived to transport food and participate in the war, but I can't afford it."
As you said, it's not like you were the one who harvested the third-ripe rice for army rations in Jiaozhi. Zhao Shicheng complained in his heart, but he still showed respect on his face and said: "Although the official is a dabbler, Chief Wang is Zhao Tongpan himself."
The one you brought out will definitely be no weaker than Fan Ruoshui at the beginning of the dynasty." Besides, King Qin, you have killed many prisoners of war to verify this news, if you had not participated in the war.
Fan Ruoshui surveyed the hydrology when the Song army destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, crossed the river at Caishiji pontoon, and crossed the last natural barrier of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Then Cao Bin besieged Jinling for a year and completely destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Frankly speaking, King Han Qin did not like Cao Bin, but saying this was undoubtedly a good sign. Just as he was about to say something, suddenly some raindrops fell from the sky. The rain was really rare in this season. Han Shizhong and his party were all
Being a military person, many people began to worry about what would happen to this tidal place after the rain, but the clinker Han Shizhong laughed, and his armor shone with a cold light, which made this tall-boned general even more proud.
When he was not allowed to be young, "It seems that he knows that a disaster is coming, and even the God of this place will cry. Yue Yun, go according to plan tomorrow."
Yue Yun came out of the queue and solemnly received the order.
Han Shizhong glanced at the vast Red River, where all the bridges had been destroyed by the Jiaozhi Army, and sneered, but said nothing more. He led everyone back to the camp on horseback, hurriedly wrote a secret note to Zhao Guan's family, and ordered him to go to bed early and prepare meals.
According to the information secretly sent by Shao Long and the infiltration over the years, Han Shizhong also figured out that Jiaozhi Jun now has two corps. To put it bluntly, they are the two armies of the waterway plus the field army. One is Su Xiancheng's Xishan Army, which has 50,000 forbidden troops, and the rural army.
An army of one hundred thousand is distributed in the jungle to the west of the Red River Flats, just waiting to fight you in a jungle war.
The second is the Da Luo Army, nominally led by the country's leader Li Tianzuo, and the opportunity belongs to the royal army led by the Li clan. There are 120,000 forbidden troops, branched in the Red River Delta, to defend the capital Da Luo.
The third one is the Western Navy in the central part. Needless to say, it is the integrated naval corps directly under Captain Du Yingwu, which was just knocked out by Li Bao. Shao Long really can't touch it, but according to Li Bao and Wang Gui
It is estimated that there must be around 100,000 people.
It can be said that Jiaozhi also has capable people. They know that once they cross Lang Son and reach the Red River, it is impossible to stop the unparalleled Song army, so their troops have long been concentrated on the south of the Red River.
Han Shizhong did not report this number to the entire army. After all, including the additional troops, there are only 35,000 troops. If he heard that the opponent had ten times the number of troops, ordinary people would really have no confidence, but Han Shizhong is really not that afraid. If you calculate it like this, Jing Kangzhi
How did you lose?
What, you said it was the national humiliation of the Song Dynasty. Anyway, I got it back tenfold. I don’t care. Whoever cares will lose.
Early on the next morning, Yue Yun raised his banner of "Hou Yueyun is famous in the Song Dynasty" and led about 300 people to make a big noise on the north bank of the Red River. A few dilapidated retired warships and a dozen plundered fishing boats were left behind.
They marched into the morning mist beating drums, as if they were going to fight to the death across the river.
Dozens of miles away, Zhao Shicheng watched Wang Yingchen personally holding the water map to point out where the depth was, where the speed was, the length of the piles used, and the width of the water surface, all based on the water conditions he had observed over the past few days.
, after the pontoon bridge is set up and goes down the river, the bridge he chooses can just fit on both sides of the bank. With a few piles, it can be firmly fixed on the water.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! No matter how bad Jiaozhi is, it is still a country with its own veteran generals. It soon became clear that the Song people were feinting and using Yue Yun's name to bluff people. The defender on the other side had already
They had a bad premonition, but the mist persisted for a long time in winter, and finally they were able to patrol along the river. They finally discovered that the Song Dynasty people were building a pontoon bridge on the Red River. The banks were steep and difficult to stand on, and the arrows were also blown by the strong north wind.
Blowing crookedly could not stop the Song people from building the bridge. The guard was shocked and ordered people to rush to Daluo to spread the news. Everyone knows the allusion of floating bridge crossing the river. The Yangtze River can be crossed thousands of miles away, let alone the Red River!
Han Shizhong would not give him this chance. The soldiers on the pontoon nailed countless piles of different lengths into the water. The lengths were just right. The pontoon bridge connected with chains, ropes, and wooden wedges was successfully fixed before it was broken by the river.
Countless Song army soldiers who had been preparing for the battle rushed across the river along the pontoon bridge. The leader was naturally Han Shizhong, who was already in a state of excitement.
Both Wang Gui and Guo Hao, who came to deliver food and join the war, were dissatisfied. For your sake, could you give up the opportunity to your colleagues? But they didn't dare, so they had to join the attack.
When Han Shizhong's secret letter was sent to Tokyo, Zhao Jiu happened to be depressed in the Wuming Pavilion in the harem. He had his own reasons for sending 35,000 people when he had an army of 200,000. Last year, an ice and snow disaster severely reduced food production. Fortunately, this year it was still possible.
It was considered normal, otherwise he would have had to wait another year, but he was happy when he saw it, "Not bad, good ministers have made great progress and made further progress."
Princess Junyou of Yinchuan, who was in the cradle, clapped her hands and said clearly, "Go further." Yuxue was so cute that she cooperated with her. Not only Zhao Guan's family, but also the surrounding officials were smiling.

Restoration of the Monument to the People’s Heroes along the Red River in Annan Province completed
On September 5, the Red River Museum reopened. The most eye-catching ones are naturally the two Monuments to the People's Heroes (formerly known as the Heroic Soul Monument of the Song Dynasty) built a thousand years ago by Emperor Shizu of the Song Dynasty.
There is an unmarked monument for the soldiers and civilians who died in battle during the year, and the other is the monument for the sacrificed soldiers erected by the King of Qin after he destroyed Jiaozhi.
Due to the long history and modern wars, both stone monuments were damaged. This year, experts from China National Exhibition Center specially repaired them. It took three months to finally restore 90% of the stone monuments. According to the curator, this will be used as a part of patriotic education in the future, and many primary schools have already made reservations to visit.
It can be seen that modern patriotic education has been started from childhood, knowing that Annan Province is an inseparable part of China.
It is reported that the "Picture of King Qin Breaking the Formation" originally preserved here has been handed over to the National Museum for preservation. 3D simulation technology will be used in the introduction in the museum. (Ifeng.com Zhao Qinghui)
