Chapter 913 wants to drive away the light horse

Zhao Zhen sat comfortably on the recliner, basking in the sun while replenishing calcium, the slight shaking feeling made him feel as if lying on the clouds, surrounded by the fragrance of grass and earth, although this fragrance is a little pungent, but once you get used to it, it is the best product that can refresh your mind.

Nature is always so wonderful, autumn is the harvest season, winter is the collection of storage, and now it seems that late autumn is about to enter winter, in this season, both men and horses must be fat, in order to survive the consumption of all things withering in winter, and fighting in winter is the most consuming of horses and military strength.

For the feudal dynasty, fighting in winter was actually something they tried to avoid.

The reason is that the winter march is unfavorable, and it is likely to be difficult to march caused by heavy snowfall, and the snow will not only affect the march of the soldiers, but also cause difficulties in logistics and transportation, which is a big problem, and in the same way, both the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty are unwilling to carry out a protracted war in this cold winter, which is absolutely unprecedented in the consumption of the national strength of the two countries.

Compared with the Liao Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty was more eager to end this war, because the Great Song Dynasty's investment in this battle to destroy Xia was too high!

Zhao Zhen squinted at the Liao camp in the distance, although the terrain is quite high, but it has also become an obvious target, the Liao camp at this moment is not as compact as before, and it is likely to be gradually withdrawing troops, however, this little emperor is still a subordination character, knowing that the water collapses and hurts many people.

At this time, the Liao Dynasty withdrew its troops is the best plan, although the back is back, but the output of the back set in the winter is completely insufficient for the 100,000 troops, once the confrontation with the Great Song Dynasty, the lengthy supply line will become the mortal wound of the Liao Dynasty.

Compared with the Liao Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty is also sad, but the Great Song Dynasty can hold on, seeing that victory is just around the corner, the Liao people come to steal peaches, will the Song army soldiers agree? Besides, the logistics supply of the Great Song Dynasty is in Xiping Mansion behind him, which is very close!

A cold wind blew into the back of Zhao Zhen's neck, Zhao Zhen tightened the warm cotton clothes on his body and got up, it is already late autumn, but after all, it is not yet winter, at this time, he has unconsciously put on clothes with cotton wool, which has shown that this winter may be even colder.

Zhao Zhen walked quickly to the horse stake in Cai Boyu's surprised eyes, and inserted his hand into the sink, and the cold water pierced him and inhaled the cold air.

Cai Boyu stepped forward cautiously: "Official, what's wrong?" ”

Zhao Zhen frowned and said, "Don't you think you're wearing a little too much?" ”

Cai Boyu looked at his bloated self, and said with a smile: "You also know that although Weichen is fat, he is afraid of the cold, once it is winter, he has more clothes on his body." ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said: "That's not what I mean, besides, it's not winter yet, the weather is so cold, if it's the winter solstice......"

"Official, we have passed the beginning of winter here, and the imperial court has sent the winter clothes to the army, and Xia Shenzheng is sending people down one by one! The soldiers kept warm. ”

With a long sigh, Zhao Zhen found that what he and Cai Boyu were discussing was not the same thing at all, and I was afraid that this year would be a very cold winter, which would be a huge obstacle for the Great Song Dynasty to conquer Western Xia.

Winter is not suitable for marching, let alone large-scale migration, it is impossible to move the party members to the territory of the Great Song Dynasty this year, and we can only wait for the spring next year, when the ice and snow melt and the spring flowers bloom.

Glancing at the dazzling sun but not much warm sun, Zhao Zhen sneezed fiercely, and then turned his head to Cai Boyu and asked: "Order Zhao Li, lead Qianniuwei to garrison Dingzhou City, and must not be entangled with the Liao people, it is best to let the Liao people not find out that this Dingzhou City has been taken by my Great Song Dynasty!" “

Zhao Zhen's order made Cai Boyu stunned, what a good opportunity! If the Liao people withdraw their troops, with the Qianniuwei of Dingzhou City, coupled with the Great Song Dynasty to chase and intercept, it will be difficult for the Liao people not to be destroyed, but Zhao Zhen's next words can only make him helpless: "This is my will, even if the fighter is good, it will not be able to attack!" ”

When Cai Boyu saw Zhao Zhen's stern eyes, he knew that he couldn't talk nonsense anymore, otherwise he would inevitably be reprimanded by the officials, but if the Liao people withdrew, Western Xia would be the Great Song Dynasty, and there was nothing to worry about.

After Cai Boyu left, Zhao Zhen sat down on the recliner again, and it was time to let the Liao people go, if not, I don't know how long this battle will drag on, and the Great Song Dynasty can't waste time.

At first, Zhao Zhen was not sure that Yelu Hongji would retreat, but when he learned that Zhang Jian was in the Liao army, he knew that the Liao people would definitely retreat without taking advantage, this old fox was simply cautious and a little crazy, he who had already won the back set, would definitely not waste time on this battlefield with no chance, but the only thing that Zhao Zhen didn't understand was why he, Zhang Jian, would agree with the little emperor to provoke himself?

Zhao Zhen saw Cai Boyu's unwillingness, yes, at the beginning, he wanted to provoke the little emperor of the Liao Dynasty and make him make a wrong judgment, not to withdraw when the army should be withdrawn, and to consume with the Great Song Dynasty, but when he learned that Zhang Jian was in the Liao army, he knew that his plan would not succeed.

What's more, after Zhao Zhen found that he was not able to move the party to the Great Song Dynasty this year, he gave up his plan to attack the Liao, as long as the Liao people withdrew their troops, everything was easy to say......

The original Qianniuwei was used to cut off the back road of the Liao people, but now it can't be discovered by the Liao people, which is no wonder for them.

Zhao Zhen kicked the sullen Cai Boyu: "You are more anxious than me, the current situation is that my Great Song Dynasty can't defeat the Liao Dynasty, unless you can completely annihilate the Liao army, you can't do it." ”

Cai Boyu wanted to say something, but Zhao Zhen spoke again: "Do you think we have a chance to annihilate the Liao people and leave the little emperor behind?" ”

"Your Majesty Shengming ......"

Zhao Zhen smiled, what he wants now is Xingqing Mansion, that is, the complete surrender of the Dangxiang people, which is more exciting than the total annihilation of the Liao people and killing the emperor of the Liao Dynasty.

The cold wind blew again, Zhao Zhen saw the picture of Xia Zhu sitting on the high cart and shouting continuously, and also heard his scolding, as long as the winter clothes are available, the grain and grass are enough, and the Liao people are timid, there will be no reason for Xixia to wait and see.

If you don't accept the annexation of the Great Song Dynasty, the people in Xingqing Mansion will starve to death and freeze to death in the city! This winter is not ordinarily cold, it is the same as the winter after he succeeded to the throne, it is extremely cold!

Unconsciously, Zhao Zhen found that the gas coming out of his mouth could already be seen with the naked eye, although the snow-white fog was very light, but it could be seen clearly, which should not appear in the northwest with a long sunshine time just in winter.

Zhao Zhen couldn't help muttering: "I'm afraid I'm going to experience a Xiaoice River, cool down!" The colder, the better! ”

"What did the officials say?"

The chamberlain thought that Zhao Zhen had any instructions, so he stepped forward and asked in a low voice, Zhao Zhen coughed dryly and said, "I said that this winter is a little cold......
