Rebirth: Overthrow Song Dynasty

"Is it my own?" Seeing that there were soldiers from the Song Army sitting on the horse in front of them, the dozen young people were all stunned.

"I'll go out and take a look!" the young leader said.

The young leader stood up from the hidden place and ran forward.

"Who are you?" Before coming to the soldiers, he already shouted.

Soon, the Song army generals in front rushed towards this side.

The youth leader's face changed slightly, but he still stayed here and did not leave.

"We are soldiers of the Forbidden Army!" A 30-year-old general in front of him laughed.

"A soldier of the Forbidden Army?" The young leader was taken aback.

"We are from the Eighth Army and Ninth Army of the Forbidden Army!" said the middle-aged general.

He came to the front of the young leader, took out his token, and gave it to the young leader to check.

"It really is the general of the Forbidden Army! General, hello!" The young leader also showed a smile on his face.

This gold medal cannot be fake! Moreover, the opposite is a standard Han, not a foreign barbarian fake at all! It is said that he is a person from Guanshan and Chang'an, and it happens that this young leader is also from the Chang'an area! Therefore, this young leader feels very kind!

The youth leader beckoned, and after a while, the other dozen youths also ran over.

"Do you know how to ride a horse?" the middle-aged general asked.

The dozen young people nodded! They are in Liangzhou, which was originally the territory of the Xixia people. There are many horses left, so they all ride horses.

"That's really great! We have been on the road for half a month, and we are going to Liangzhou for a day off! You will come with us!" The middle-aged general smiled.

"Have you not consulted General Gao's name?" After riding the horse, the group of horses headed towards Liangzhou City, and the young leader arched his hands.

"I am Yang Zheng, commander of the Eighth Army of the Forbidden Army! This is my brother Liang Hao!" He pointed to a slightly lower general next to him.

"It turns out to be General Yang and General Liang! What are you going to do in Tubo?" The young leader said curiously.

"It's okay to tell you, we are going to Tubo to buy horses! The more than 30,000 horses behind this are all brought back from Tubo!" Yang Zheng laughed.

"Buy horses from Tubo?" The young leader showed a surprised expression on his face.

"The Tubo people have a lot of horses! In fact, they are not buying horses, but changing horses, using tea to exchange horses from them!" Yang Zheng said.

Tubo is where Tibet is now! The Tubo people are the Tibetans of later generations!

Historically, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Tubo people once established a vast Tubo Empire! After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin had to win over the Tubo people and marry Princess Wencheng to Tubo. The famous Potala Palace was built by the Tubo king Songtsen Gambo to marry Princess Wencheng! It is true that from the end of the Tang Dynasty, the Tubo Empire began to collapse.

By now, the Tubo Empire has long been divided into dozens of large and small tribes!

Historically, after the rise of the Mongols, Mongolia annexed Tibet, and then at the end of Mongolia, the Buddhist power in Tibet increased greatly. It was not until the Ming Dynasty that a unified political and religious regime was established in Tibet! But now Tubo is very scattered!

"You can exchange horses from Tubo with tea?" The young leader heard about this for the first time, and was even more surprised.

"In fact, decades ago, we Da Song had done this kind of business with the Tubo people, trading tea for horses! Now it's just picking it up again!" Yang Zheng laughed.

In the Northern Song Dynasty, there was a tea-horse exchange between the Northern Song Dynasty court and the Tubo tribe. At most, in the Song Shenzong era, 20,000 war horses could be exchanged at a time! However, after Zhao Ji of the Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty came to the throne, there was a great chaos in the world, and the tea-horse exchange between the Northern Song Dynasty and Tubo also came to a halt! The Tubo people needed tea, so they began to do business with Dali. Many of their tea comes from Dali!

"I heard that the Tubo people are very fierce, will they invade our Song Dynasty?" the young leader said.

"Don't worry about this! Tubo is sparsely populated, and the largest tribe has only two to three million people! We have one hundred thousand young people in Liangzhou City, and all the people are soldiers. As long as you fight bravely, you are not afraid of them! Moreover, Liangzhou is far from Tubo. Still far away, it is impossible for the Tubo people to leave their tribe and come here to invade! If they leave their tribe, they will soon be annexed by other tribes!" Yang Zhengdao.

The youth nodded.

"Actually, you can interact with the Tubo people a lot! Send people to give our Han specialties to the Tubo people, so that they can feel the prosperity and civilization of our Han people! After a long time, some Tubo tribes are likely to take the initiative to take refuge in our Da Song! The Tubo tribes are fighting endlessly. As long as we win over a part of the Tubo tribes, we have a reason to enter the entire Tubo and bring the Tubo into the territory of our Great Song Dynasty!" Yang Zhengdao.

Tibet has been sparsely populated since ancient times. After the liberation of later generations, Tibet has only a population of only 2 million. Nowadays, the various tribes of Tubo often fight, and the ancient living conditions are very difficult. Until now, Tubo has a population of only three to four hundred thousand! Compared to the Han Chinese with a population of tens of millions and close to 100 million, Tubo is nothing! Moreover, Tubo has not yet established a political and religious regime at this time. Although most Tubo people believe in Buddhism, there is no unified sect! In this era, the Potala Palace was already destroyed in the flames of war. The Potala Palace was re-established by Tubo Buddhism in the 16th century!

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao entered Tubo this time, on the one hand to conduct a tea-horse exchange market, and on the other hand to investigate the situation in Tubo!

They went all the way, and they were all excited when they saw the rolling wheat fields!

They all know that this year is a rare harvest year!

"Brother Yang, I'm a little homesick! After leaving my hometown, I haven't gone back for almost six years." Liang Hao looked at the wheat field in front of him and said with emotion.

"After the death of Jurchen, we can go back!" Yang Zhengdao.

"Actually, I really want to see how my hometown is now! Hometown should also be a good harvest year? Mom and Dad should be okay?" Liang Hao said.

The two entered Liangzhou City with emotion all the way, where they were warmly welcomed by the young people! Now in the entire Song Dynasty, especially in the areas of Guanshan, Hanzhong, and Sichuan, the status of soldiers is extremely high. The heroic deeds in the army are spreading all over the world, and young people all want to join the army! They were naturally happy when they saw the soldiers.

After that, the team stayed here for a day, and then continued on their way.

From Liangzhou to Lingzhou, from Lingzhou to Xiazhou, Yinzhou and other places, there are harvest scenes everywhere, which makes people happy!

On June 20th, they returned to Datong!

Here, the young people of the Datong Production and Construction Corps have begun to harvest wheat, and countless soldiers have also helped the young people to harvest wheat together. Busy scenes are everywhere!

When more than 30,000 war horses were brought here, the soldiers were surprised when they saw the war horses and knew that they had been bought from Tubo!

Yang Zheng and Liang Hao arrived outside the city of Datong, and Yue Fei, Yue Yun and others had already greeted them.

"Marshal!" Yang Zheng, Liang Hao and others hurriedly dismounted to salute.

Yue Fei nodded, he also got off the horse, he came to the war horse behind, carefully observed and looked carefully.

"Marshal, these are all carefully selected horses! This time we brought good tea from the south of the Yangtze River. The Tubo people like it very much. What they bring out are the best horses in the tribe! They also said, You want as much tea as you want!" Yang Zheng laughed.

"Yes! These horses don't seem to have a very large skeleton, but their endurance must be good!" Yue Fei observed carefully for a while and said.

"Yes! Their endurance is much better than Xixia Ma!" Yang Zhengdao.

"This is more conducive to long-distance attacks!" Yue Fei said.

Yue Yun, who was next to him, was also observing the horses at the moment and said with a smile: "Marshal, this year we can add another 20,000 cavalry! The number of our cavalry will be close to 80,000!"

Yue Fei brought 40,000 cavalry soldiers when he came from Yanyun, and later Zhang Xian came and brought another 20,000 cavalry soldiers! Now they have bought war horses from Tubo, plus war horses gathered from all over Xixia, based on the scale of one person and two horses, they can also form more than 20,000 cavalry! In the Cold Weapon era, the role of cavalry far exceeded that of infantry, so Yue Yun was also very happy now.

"You two go back to rest and rest, and wait until tomorrow morning, you and Yue Yun will go to Yunnei Prefecture together!" Yue Fei walked among the horses for a long time, then said.

"Yunnei Prefecture?" Yang Zheng was taken aback and nodded hurriedly.

"Ah!" Yue Yun was extremely pleasantly surprised!

"Yunnei Prefecture is the important place in the Northwest, you must keep it safe for me!" Yue Fei said.

This Yunnei Prefecture is an important city in the Liao Kingdom. It is located in the northwestern region of Datong, probably in the area of ​​Guyang County, Tuyou Banner, and Tuzuo Banner in Inner Mongolia. Yunnei Prefecture was a military center during the Jin and Yuan dynasties! If you want to attack Datong, you must first attack Yunnei Prefecture! Previously, Yunnei Prefecture was still occupied by the Xixia people, but at the beginning of this year, Zhang Xian went north, and Yunnei Prefecture had been beaten down. Now there are thousands of troops stationed there! The city there has been dilapidated and needs to be repaired.
