In the first month of the second year of Xuanren (AD 961), 120,000 horsemen and soldiers of the Tokyo Forbidden Army went out of the city in four directions (the more people are concentrated, the slower the march, the easier it is to congest). Guo Shao led the army to walk through the gate of Chen Qiao, each gate connected to a post road, and the road to Chen Qiao gate was through Chen Qiao post.

Guo Shao's troops were all cavalry and horseback infantry, and arrived at Chenqiaoyi that day.

The army passed by this station, just passing by, the soldiers didn't think it was anything special. Only Guo Shao came here to pay extra attention, Chen Qiaoyi...In his memory, there are few historical place names that are more famous than Chen Qiaoyi (because of the Chen Qiao mutiny).

However, there is no such thing as the mutiny of Chenqiao in this world. Guo Shao claimed that the emperor was in Songzhou, so Chenqiaoyi was just an inn.

Guo Shaobu rode all horses and arrived at Huazhou on the morning of the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The two-day trip was about 240 miles.

The army did not enter the city, and the holiday has become an unimportant factor.

On the same day, the army crossed the Yellow River from the ferry near Huazhou...The ministries spread out on the flat beach, and raced directly across the Yellow River in batches. At this time, the Yellow River was still frozen, and there was no movement of horses and carts on the ice on the river.

Two days later, on the morning of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, the army rushed two hundred and thirty miles to reach the Daming Mansion.

The four armies crossed the Yellow River from Weizhou, Huazhou and other places, and they all passed the Daming Mansion. However, Guo Shao did not wait for the follow-ups at the Daming Mansion, nor did he see his father-in-law Fu Yanqing, but continued to march.

At this point, the 120,000 army will form an extremely long formation, so that the overall marching speed will be faster. The previous section of the road all marched in the mainland, unimpeded, and there is no need to send more scouts.

Then, according to the deployment of the Privy Council, the whole army will gradually move forward, middle and back three armies during the march. The front army uses Shi Yanchao as the forward, with approximately 18,000 cavalry; the main force of the Chinese army, Guo Shao, has more than 70,000 cavalry, including all cavalry and the tiger’s horse infantry; the rear army is more than 30,000, the slowest walk, including the dragon. The infantrymen of the Czech Republic's left and right compartments and the Tiger's Czech Republic's left compartment.

The total strength of the Forbidden Army is about 120,000, and the cavalry and mounted infantry are close to 90,000.

Daming Mansion is already the border of Hebei. The striker of the Great Zhou Army and the main force of the Chinese army quickly marched northward to Beizhou, and then rode across the frozen Yongji Canal (Grand Canal). Hebei is full of famous cities, and Beizhou is also a famous city. The (later) Jin Dynasty unfortunately failed to block the Liao army in Beizhou and was captured by the Liao army and led to the country's death.

Now, the people and horses in the same place have changed their country names, and the mighty horses are passing this ancient city to the north.

Yizhou, Shenzhou, Xiongzhou... The marching route of the Great Zhou Army is completely a straight line in the north direction on the map. Then approached Yizhou, marching more than 1,200 miles, the main horse army completed the trip in less than half a month. North of the Juma River is the territory controlled by the Liao State.

……

Guo Shao, Wang Pu and others took their guards and sprinted past the forwards of the army, and first arrived at the south bank of Juma River, but they didn't see anything. There was still frozen soil on both sides, and there was no personal shadow, only the terrain on the opposite bank was observed. Slightly higher than the South Bank.

At this moment, I suddenly saw Yizhou rushing towards him. First, Guo Shao's guards blocked the question from a distance, and soon the person was brought to Guo Shao.

The man prayed on one knee: "The humble post is the messenger of the soldier Cao Si Youzhou Division. On the order of Shangfeng, he will come forward to submit an urgent report."

"Come here." Guo Shao said directly.

He took a lacquered envelope, took out a piece of paper with a letter, and looked through it, his expression changed slightly.

Wang Pu couldn't help asking: "Is it a secret report of Youzhou Military Intelligence?"

Guo Shao gave it to Wang Pu quietly.

Wang Pu looked surprised and said: "Youzhou still doesn't know about it?"

Guo Shao called Jingniang over and asked her to check the handwriting of the memo. There was no problem with the memo. The main station of the Bing Cao Si spy in Youzhou, Hebei, was set up in Yizhou, and the report came from Yizhou Emergency... At least when Youzhou Xizuo sent the news back, the signs in Youzhou City showed that they knew nothing about Zhou Jun. !

Guo Shaoqiang suppressed the excitement and looked back and forth: "It seems that the situation is better than we expected!"

Wang Pudao: "We have been out of Beijing for more than a dozen days now. There are more than 100,000 people who have nothing to hide in Ma Yanlu. The Liao people did not get the news. It is really an accident. God helped me!"

A military commander happily said: "If we rush to the city of Youzhou and they will find out, it will be easier! The horse team rushed in from the gate of the city and it would be fine!"

Wang Pu smiled and said: "That's impossible. With so many eyes on the land boundary of Youzhou, not everyone is blind. But the people of Youzhou Liao know too late that preparations will be insufficient, and the city defense will not be so perfect. The big week is an extremely favorable start."

He turned his head and looked at Guo Shao, waiting for Guo Shao's order. Wang Pu is in charge of Youzhou Qianying Military Mansion, but with the emperor, he still has to wait for Guo Shao to make an order.

Guo Shao sat on the horse, squinted his eyes and looked at the road ahead. The Juma River in front of him rested on the ground like a piece of white silk. The current had frozen and motionless, and the world was silent.

As Wang Pu said, the Northern Expedition had a very good start. Not only did it not leak the military aircraft in advance, but even the army had gone to Yizhou and could still hide from the Liao army. The suddenness of the surprise attack was nothing better than the current situation! Excellent timing.

"Most of the troops defending Zhuozhou and other places are Han troops, so you can ignore it. Whether they descend or not, they will not be able to go out of the city to fight our army." Guo Shao's voice was very calm.

Guo Shao looked up at the sky again. The sky is dark and heavy, as if the sky cover is very low. Although the dark clouds are not visible, the clouds are very thick. And the north wind is blowing in the sky.

"This ghostly weather!" Guo Shao cursed softly.

Everything is perfect, and the weather is indeed the only unsatisfactory factor. It is still windy on a cloudy day, and I am afraid that the temperature will not rise for too long; it will be more laborious to build fortifications on the frozen soil in Youzhou.

Guo Shao took a deep breath and looked at Wang Pu: "So, can you order Shi Yanchao to lead the army to Youzhou?"

Wang Pu's voice was very anxious, and he spoke very quickly: "Of course, the striker will push Youzhou first, and the Chinese army will surrender to solve Zhuozhou and other places, and follow up."

Guo Shao's eyes closed, and he said without hesitation: "Order, Shi Yanchao's department will immediately cross the Juma River. Do not attack the city, drive directly to Youzhou City; when the road meets resistance, you can sweep away , No need to play."

Wang Pu clasped his fist and said: "The old minister takes the order and immediately issues the formal military order to Shi Yanchao."

He immediately turned the horse's head and kicked the horse's belly: "Drive!" The horse screamed in pain and ran out.

Guo Shao sits on a horse with his sword, facing the north wind, looking at the land in the north for a long time...The land in Hebei is now the border of the enemy country!
