After traveling through time, I became Han Zhang’s grandson?

Chapter 271 Dreams Come True

"I don't have an imperial decree in hand. If I change the generals at will, we won't have enough brains to do it."

"Besides, this time I came here mainly to inquire about the situation of the delegation..."

Han Ming had just begun to explain his purpose when a group of people rushed in from outside the tent.

The leaders were He Zhengru from the diplomatic corps and Liang Wenxin from the Border Pacification Office. When they saw Han Ming sitting there with his arms and legs spread, they almost cried.

"My Lord! You frightened me to death!"

He Zhengru's move made Han helpless, but the next second, another heavyweight came.

"Oh my God! My Lord! You're finally back! I've been thinking about you day and night! I was so worried that something might have happened to you!"

With a "plop", another slide slid in front of Han and almost hugged his thigh.

Seeing this scene, everyone couldn't help but twitch their lips. Looking at Du Jiyang's eloquent voice, they estimated that this guy's position as the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple could be moved up.

"It's not that serious... It's not that serious... Lord Du, please stand up quickly, don't let others laugh at you."

Han Ming was so embarrassed by this scene that he wanted to find a place to bury himself.

Who says these literati are so proud and never flatter? Their flattery is almost as good as that of the famous Duolong in later novels.

When it comes to playing awkwardly, Han suddenly felt that he could not catch up with Du Ji Yang even if he flattered him.

"Okay, everyone, now that everyone is safe, Han feels relieved."

Han Ming raised his voice slightly to calm the noisy situation, then chatted with each other briefly and sent He Zhengru and others back to rest.

When he came back, he found Gu Tingye and the others waiting for him quietly. Seeing this, Han couldn't help but chuckle: "Why, are you really planning to rely on me?"

Gu Tingye smiled knowingly: "With your husband, Little Han, in charge, this battle will be much easier to fight."

"Don't be superstitious, brother. I still have to rely on you at the critical moment."

Han Ming casually brought up something from his past life, causing Gu Tingye and the others to frown.

"I know what you're worried about. Here you go."

Gu Tingye raised the corner of his mouth, took out a memorial from the table and handed it to the other party.

Han Ming glanced at it and immediately understood the general meaning.

It was nothing more than a reply to the opinion of 'appointing Han Ming as the military advisor general of the Central Imperial Guards to the north to defend against the enemy', with the seal of Emperor Yingzong and the signature of Privy Councilor Zhang Sheng at the bottom.

"Military Advisor General?" When Han Ming saw these four words, he was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.

"Your Majesty and Lord Zhang, do you really treat me like Zhuge Liang?"

Military Advisor General was the name of an ancient official title, belonging to the sixth rank in Cao Wei.

It was first created by Liu Bei during the Three Kingdoms period, and was also established by Wu and Wei. It was no longer set up after the establishment of the Jin Dynasty.

The person who held this position was Zhuge Liang. In the late period of Shu Han, Zhuge Liang's son Zhuge Zhan also held this position.

The person in charge on the Cao Wei side was Xun You, and on the Wu side it was Zhu Ran.

Hearing Han Ming's slightly surprised tone, Gu Tingye and Yang Wenguang smiled at each other.

"Knowing that you have always idolized Zhuge Liang, the emperor has specially created the position of 'Military Advisor General' during this war."

"I guess there's no need to tell you what I want you to do!"

Gu Tingye couldn't help but laugh as he watched Han Ming tossing the memorial over and over again.

"Oh, this is so embarrassing. Actually, I can just give him the title of 'Military Advisor and Lieutenant General'. I am not greedy."

Hearing this, everyone was upset again.

"Stop talking nonsense. As the saying goes, one should do his job. Shouldn't our Grand Military Advisor Han say a few words? After all, we're still in the middle of a military meeting."

Gu Tingye changed the subject and drew everyone's attention back.

"Then Han will respectfully obey your orders!"

Han Ming smiled confidently, stood up and walked to the military map and began to examine it carefully.

After all, the imperial court has made his dream come true, and he has been able to satisfy his desire to be a military advisor, so he has to contribute his best.

"In my opinion, there is no problem with the military deployment in the Baigouyi area."

"If the Liao army's main force wants to quickly advance southwards and force the Song Dynasty to negotiate peace, they currently have no choice but to pass through Baigouyi."

"If you take a detour from either side, we have troops stationed in Rongcheng and Guixin areas to guard them."

"Even if we are outnumbered, we are more than capable of defending the city."

"In this case, the coalition forces of Yelu Hongji and Xiao Boyu can only adopt two options."

"One is to concentrate all forces, force a breakthrough at Baigouyi, and march south to invade Song. The other is to ignore everything, take a detour southward, and march straight into the heart of Hebei Road, reaching both sides of the Yellow River."

Han Ming's eloquent talk attracted everyone's attention, and they began to follow each other's words and deduce the war situation.

"But neither of these two options is the best for Yelu Hongji."

Gu Tingye took advantage of Han Ming's pause to quietly express his opinion.

"That's right. The first method of forcibly breaking through Baigouyi will only cause heavy losses to the Liao army. Yelu Hongji and Xiao Boyu would not do such a thing unless they are fools."

"As for the second scenario, it's even simpler. If they aren't afraid of the Song army behind them and the city guards at the major road junctions cutting off their retreat, then I have no objection to a second 'Yelü Deguang's defeat and retreat to the Central Plains' scenario."

The so-called "Yelü Deguang's defeat in the Central Plains" refers to the ninth year of Huihe (Liao) (946), when Yelü Deguang led his entire army on a southern expedition and was defeated by the Later Jin Dynasty in the north of the Yanzhou Great Wall (now Gu'an County, Hebei Province).

In December, they captured Bian Jing (now Kaifeng City, Henan Province), captured the Later Jin Emperor Chu, destroyed the Later Jin, and established the Liao Dynasty with the reign title of Datong.

In April of the first year of the Liao Dynasty's Datong reign (947), the Liao Dynasty's rule in the Central Plains was unstable due to repeated armed rebellions by the Han people.

Yelu Deguang had to withdraw his troops and return north. On the way, he died of illness in Luancheng Shahulin at the age of 46.

When Yelu Deguang was on his way back north, military forces on both sides of the Yellow River set up ambushes along the way, dealing a heavy blow to the Liao army.

It can be regarded as an ancient version of the "people's war", which plunged the Liao army into the vast ocean of people's battle.

Han Ming was determined that Yelu Hongji and Xiao Boyu would not be stupid enough to follow the old path of his own Emperor Taizong.

"I have no doubt about this. Yelu Hongji and Xiao Boyu are not fools. If they dare to wade into such a blatant dead end, they would be truly foolish."

Yang Wenguang stroked his beard, chuckled and nodded.

"So, they will definitely not do anything on the Baigouyi front line. Doing so will only lead to more harm than good."

Han Ming paced in the tent with his hands behind his back, his thoughts beginning to churn.

"Do they have a third way?"

Zhang Qiao had a flash of inspiration and asked in panic.

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire tent exploded with buzzing discussions.

"Zixin is right. The Liao army has a third option."

Han Ming looked at Zhang Qiao with admiration, and unconsciously thought of his father Zhang Kang, who was also a top general of the Song Dynasty. Unfortunately, he died of illness in the sixth year of Jiayou.

For a 63-year-old man, living a long life was considered a long life given the medical conditions in ancient times. His only regret was that he did not see the Song Dynasty recover its homeland.

But now his son can be active in the Song army and has the opportunity to become one of the main forces of the Northern Expedition. I believe that General Zhang will be pleased in heaven!
