Chapter 65: I'm used to being pitted
As soon as he mentioned Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Zongbi's heart was full of despair, and he even began to doubt his life-
It doesn't matter if you can't attack the city, after all, this aspect is the strength of the Song people, and attacking the strength of the other with your own shortcomings is not what this wise man does.
But why can't the field battle be defeated?
Forget about the iron-shelled turtle-like thing of the big car, they also have palm mines!
Especially Song Jun, a white-faced young general, why did he stare at himself vigorously, either coldly arrowing or rushing into battle openly, looking like he would not give up if he didn't kill himself?
Do you have a grudge against him for killing your father or for taking your wife?
Wanyan Zongbi reflected seriously, and found that he hadn't done anything bad since he followed Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang to the south to attack the Song Dynasty, at best, he had plundered Tangyin's troops once-
If it weren't for the damned Song people who had been fighting against the army, if they honestly contributed all the grain and grass to the army, then they would still need to order raids and loot?
Besides, what does Lao Tzu's ransacking of Tang Yin have to do with him, a young general of the Zhending Mansion? Do you have to look like you won't kill yourself and vow not to give up?
The key is that he can't beat him.
The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he became, Wanyan Zongbi simply picked up the wine bag and poured it violently, threw the wine bag aside casually and said: "Tell me to go down, let the soldiers be ready, and when the troops do not arrive, the two armies will be combined into one army, bypassing the Hejian Mansion and retreating." ”
……
"Qi Guan's family: In April, the Xia people fell into Zhenwei City, and Zhu Zhao, the governor of the city, died. More than 20,000 soldiers and civilians were captured, and more than 10,000 were killed or wounded. ”
He Ji, who was nervous in his heart, sent the information to Wuxin's heart, and then bowed down and stood in front of Zhao Huan, quietly waiting for the storm to come-
He Ji knew very well in his heart that the official family who could beat Jin Bing into a dog was different from the emperor who instigated both the Jin State and the Western Xia.
The emperor's first reaction when he heard the war was never how to fight, but how to negotiate peace.
And today's official ...... The first reaction of today's officials is always how to beat the other party out of the.
However, Zhao Huan was unexpectedly calm, and just after reading the information in his hand, he casually threw it to the seed master and said, "Seed Aiqing will take a look first." ”
Zhao Huan's calmness is of course not real calm, but a habitual indifference that often learns that he has been cheated again.
The emperors of the Zhao family dynasties are basically all pit goods, pit their own descendants, and the emperor Zhao Jixiang is a leader! Just like Jin Bing's southward journey to Zhao Jixiang's pot, Western Xia is no exception-
In the first month of the fourth year of Yingzong's reign, the fifth emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Yingzong, died, and the sixth emperor Shenzong ascended the throne. The tired people who don't practice, and the handsome who control the unplanned,...... If you can't be determined to fight and bow down to peace, there will be no blame in the end.
When the emperors of the Great Song Dynasty first ascended the throne, they all wanted to "work hard and make great achievements...... Therefore, in the third year of his reign, he decisively appointed the prestigious Wang Anshi, appointed him as the governor, and began to reform and change the law, so as to change the status quo of the Northern Song Dynasty's Yiyu and poverty, and realize the desire of a rich country and a strong army.
The so-called rich country is to develop production, revitalize the economy, and solve the financial difficulties faced by the country; Strengthening the army is to change the passive situation of "redundant soldiers" and "redundant soldiers", the army is huge, but the combat effectiveness is not strong, and "thieves attack them but cannot resist them, and Rong Di plunders them but cannot resist".
It was in this situation of changing the law and trying to become stronger, that Wang Shao proposed to the imperial court his "Pingrong Policy" three articles, which discussed in detail the strategy of taking the Western Xia.
Wang Shao, the word is pure. Jiangzhou De'an people, Jiayou Jinshi. Resourceful and strategic. At first, he served as the chief secretary of Xin'an, and later joined the army as the manager of the Jianchang Army. He traveled to Qinghai in Gansu at his own expense, consciously collected and interviewed side affairs, went deep into the barren land of the Qiang people in Xifan, conducted field investigations, visited carefully, and repeatedly analyzed.
During his travels, he realized that dealing with Western Xia was a long and arduous job. After returning to the capital, he systematized his thoughts and opinions as a strategy. It was to the effect that:
"Xixia is a group of anti-bone boys, who have been thinking about running to attack our family's Qingtang land, if you don't strike first now, do you have to wait for him to come to trouble us in the future?
Anyway, judging from the current situation, there are basically a group of weak chickens over there, and the Qiang tribes are now in a state of division and do not belong to each other, so it is better to simply take advantage of the current good opportunity to split them and break them apart.
When the various Qiang tribes are solved, the Li clan in Hexi will become something in my hands, and when the time comes, if you want to rub him flat and round, isn't it still a matter of your words? ”
Song Shenzong Zhao Ji and Wang Anshi took a look, and felt that this little brother's idea was very good, this is a good thing for the Great Song Dynasty, if he really let him do it, the Xixia surnamed Li will not finish the calf sooner or later?
Then, as soon as the two of them combined, they appointed Wang Shao as the post of Yiwen (equivalent to a confidential secretary) of Qinfeng Road, and presided over the affairs of opening up the Xihe River. Since then, he has taken charge of the military as a literati and has taken on the task of recovering Hehuang.
In the spring and summer of the fourth year of Xining, Wang Shao first appeased one of the largest Tubo tribes in the Qingtang region, and its tribal chieftain Yu Longke "led the 120,000 people to attach." Song Shenzong gave him the name Bao Shun and made him guard Minzhou. Under this influence, some smaller tribes in the vicinity successively joined the Northern Song Dynasty with nearly 200,000 people. The territory under the jurisdiction of the Northern Song Dynasty was thus expanded by 1,200 li.
The most important thing is that Wang Shao can indeed fight-
In July of the fifth year of Xining, Wang Shao built a city in Weiyuan Fort and Qishenping, marched to Mabang Mountain, and confronted the Tubo Mengluojiao, Mo'er and Shuiba tribes, and Wang Shao played the role of a double-flowered red stick, and took the Song soldiers to beat the Tibetan soldiers together, and burned people's tents by the way, which made the whole Taoxi shake.
In the sixth year of Xining, Wang Shao, who fought even better, entered Kangle Village, Liu Chuanbao, and opened a pay road. In February, Wang Shao conquered Hezhou in one fell swoop, in April, he captured Hanom Tibetan City and Xiangzi City, and in August, he crossed the Lugu Mountain and entered the territory of Taozhou in the south.
Finally, after beating Mu Zheng again, Mu Lingzheng, the leader of Minzhou in Tubo, simply took the initiative to return the city to the Song Dynasty. The Tubo tribes in the three prefectures of Tang, Tao and Diezhou also joined one after another.
In this expedition, Wang Shao marched for 54 days, trekked 18,000 miles, pacified the land of the five states, and appeased countless Tibetan tribes. From the north of Linjiang Village, Danzhou, Da'an Township, with an area of 2,000 miles.
To a certain extent, this victory broke the political atmosphere that permeated the Northern Song Dynasty and won the reformers great political reputation. Because of this, Wang Shao was also promoted to the doctor of Zuo Jian and the bachelor of Duanming Palace.
Due to the success of the Battle of Xihe, the Silk Road, which had been blocked by the plundering wars of the Western Xia, could also be unblocked.
But all this is of no use to birds.
Because Song Shenzong Zhao Ji also failed to get rid of the awesome emperors of the Great Song Dynasty when they first ascended the throne, and they became abandoned in a few years-
Wang Shao often accused the sand sculptures in the court of "repeatedly using military affairs, labor, and money", and when he was demoted to the governor of Hongzhou, he also secretly sprayed Zhao Ji in the thanksgiving table, and later was simply demoted to the governor of Ezhou, and then died of illness in Yuanfeng for four years.
In the fifth year of Yuanfeng, Zhao Zuo Xu Xi's sand sculpture with more than 20,000 horses was defeated and lost under Yongle City, and directly disrupted the good situation laid down by Wang Shao, and Zhao Ji was "the soldiers did not dare to use it in the north, but tried a little in the west, the battle of Lingwu, the loss of the general, and the charcoal of millions." The emperor has to report at night, get up, walk around the couch, and never sleep. ”
He even cried bitterly in the morning.
After Song Shenzong hung up, he was succeeded by Zhao Xu of Song Zhezong, after Zhao survived the death of Empress Dowager Gao, he immediately played his father's set of tactics, planning to continue to smoke Western Xia, and the coach Wang Zhan was the son of the famous general Wang Shao who fought to the death according to Tubo-
After another "change", the Song army, whose combat effectiveness rose with full blood, crossed the Yellow River under the leadership of the famous general Wang Zhan, and after three months of bloody and bitter fighting, finally completely pacified the Hehuang area, and sent all the leaders of the local rebellion to the Great Song Dynasty.
This strategic place, which had been lost since the Anshi Rebellion and ran through the Silk Road, was placed under the direct control of the Great Song Dynasty. In September of that year, "Zaichen Zhangdun led hundreds of officials to congratulate the recovery of the Qing Tang Dynasty". The Great Song Dynasty was immersed in the joy of recovering the country.
Such a military exploit should also be of great significance to the national fortune of the Northern Song Dynasty: having such a treasure land is equivalent to an arm stuck in the neck of the sworn enemy Western Xia, and if the Great Song Dynasty can seize this strategic opportunity, and then patiently manage this "treasure land", not only can you obtain huge wealth through the Silk Road, but also can rely on the abundant water and grass of the river to "hatch" sufficient cavalry troops. The Great Song Dynasty can also say goodbye to the "poor and weak" completely, and the "overall situation" of the bloody rise has been laid in the first war.
But half a year later, in March of the third year of Yuan Fu, Song Zhezong, who was determined to change the law, died young, and the prime minister Zhang Dun, who supported the war, was also dismissed. The "frivolous" Song Huizong Zhao Jixiang officially ascended the throne of the Great Song Emperor.
Then, Wang Zhan, who was leading the Song army to fight bloodily on the front line, was suddenly attacked by a dark arrow from behind-
A group of veteran ministers of the "old party" desperately clamored and worked hard to discredit the war. General Wang Zhan, who made miraculous contributions to the country, was even charged with strange crimes: "The Qingtang clans are resentful into the bone marrow, and they want to take revenge."
This means that Wang Zhan is at fault, and the fault is that he won the war too beautifully, what if these tribes retaliate?
As a result, relying on this strange crime, the monarchs and ministers of Song Huizong launched a wave of "anti-killing" operations:
The leader of the rebellious tribe captured by Wang Zhan? Hurry up with a good meal and drink, and then give a bunch of high-ranking official titles and "gift" back.
The land of Hehuang recovered by the Song army in blood? Hurry up and withdraw it for me!
General Wang Zhan who has made meritorious contributions to the country? Dispatch to Hainan Island in one go!
General Wang Zhan, who was full of grief and indignation, was unwilling to be humiliated after being escorted to Dengzhou, Henan, and even committed suicide in anger to prove his innocence.
Then the father and son played with the land they had laid down, and I gave it all back to me.
Ironically, General Wang Zhan had just committed suicide with his front foot, and those "rebel tribal leaders" who were put back in Hehuang after eating and drinking well continued to pull the flag and rebel with their back feet, giving the Great Song Dynasty and Zhao Jixiang a solid slap.
With such a powerful emperor, Zhao Huan said that he was used to the pit.
But those who should smoke Western Xia still have to smoke Western Xia.
This is like a child who is disobedient and always makes a fuss, he has to be beaten when he should be beaten, and he can't get used to these stinky problems of children, otherwise he will spoil the child.
Didn't anyone say that habitual children are like killing children.
As the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan is naturally the father of the whole world, so he has the responsibility to teach these disobedient bear children a lesson.
……
Just when Zhao Huan was thinking about these messy things, the seed master Dao also read the information about Zhenwei City, and then handed it back to Wuxin, and said in a deep voice: "Xixia will suddenly send troops at this time, but I am afraid that it will be inseparable from Wanyan Zonghan." ”
Yang Zaixing, who was standing next to the Seed Master Dao, raised his head in astonishment, and said suspiciously: "Wanyan Zonghan? Wanyan Zonghan's head is still on the Jingguan, could it be that he is giving the lord of the Western Xia a dream to persuade the Western Xia to send troops? ”
"Dead lips and cold teeth."
Seed Master Dao said with a gloomy face: "Wanyan Zonghan naturally can't give the Xixia lord a dream, but Wanyan Zonghan can send someone to Xixia when he retreats to Datong, as long as he informs Xixia of the Jin's successive defeats, Xixia will send troops to deal with Wanyan Zonghan even if it is for self-protection." ”
Zhao Huan also hummed and said: "Wanyan Zonghan's plan is indeed very good, and inviting Western Xia to send troops together is indeed a good strategy." It's just that it is estimated that Yan Zonghan himself did not expect that he would not be able to keep Datong. ”
After finishing speaking, Zhao Huan continued to ask: "In Aiqing's opinion, what about Western Xia?" ”
"The official family wants to sweep away the Eight Desolations and Liuhe, how can they let go of Western Xia?"
Seed Master Dao muttered: "It's just that Wanyan Zongbi is still outside the Zhending Mansion, if there is no accident, the Wanyan Zongwang Department should also flee to the Zhending Mansion in order to return north, if the official family moves to the Western Xia at this time, the Zhending Mansion will ......."
"Or I'll go to Zhending Mansion?"
Yang Zaixing shouted with some eagerness: "If you get three thousand light horses, you will definitely capture Yan Xiao'er alive!" Or let me go to Western Xia? ”
"What are you anxious about!"
Seed Master Dao turned his head and scolded: "How to fight, it still depends on how the official family decides, what are you anxious about?" ”
