Chapter 1329 Countermeasures

In fact, Yelu Yixun's real crime was to frame the queen and frame the prince, and he succeeded!

Of course, Yelu Hongji could not admit this article on the surface, so he could only sit on the basis of his sin.

Yelu Yange's backlash made Yelu Hongji vigilant, and as a result, Yelu Yixun was hanged to death while he was still halfway through the lock into Beijing, and then the Liao Dynasty began to purge his henchmen.

Yelu Yixun has controlled the court for many years, and the party has been widely distributed, and this purge has directly caused the Liao State to lose more than 2,000 officials!

Among them is Yelu Zhongxi, the privy envoy of the Southern Yuan, who lost his position and died of "excessive fright" because of the Su Party Yu Yixon!

After all, it can be regarded as preserving the family, but under this situation, it is almost impossible for the Liao State to interfere in the Song-Xia War.

And the most ironic thing is that the "forbidden things" that criminalized Yelu Yixun were announced by Yelu Hongji in a blink of an eye that the blockade of the Great Song Dynasty would be lifted and could be bought and sold freely.

Now it is Yelu Hongji, and it needs the political support of the southern coastal states and counties, which requires a good relationship with the Song Dynasty!

Even if the Tangut people wanted to seek help from the Liao State through diplomacy, they had theoretically been cut off!

At the same time, significant progress has also been made in diplomatic consultations with Dali.

The reason is very simple, Gao Xiangye can't do Yang Yizhen anymore.

Because the Nongdong Copper Mine was closer to the Erhai area controlled by Yang Yizhen, when the Song people urgently retreated from Nongdong, the explosives on the mine fell into Yang Yizhen's hands.

Although in terms of military strength, Gao Xiangye is much more powerful than Yang Yizhen, but Yang Yizhen has been planning for a long time, and he is condescending, and he actually caught Gao Xiangye off guard for a while.

In order to obtain legal, economic, and military assistance from the Great Song Dynasty, Gao Xiangye agreed to the exchange package proposed by the Great Song Dynasty!

Dali ceded the Anning River and Jianchang Mansion to the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Southern Yunnan Copper Mine in the area bordering Jiaozhi County, in exchange for control of the Langdong Copper Mine in the Great Song Dynasty.

The Great Song Dynasty supported the request of the Gao family of Dali for the restoration of the Duan family, recognized the legitimacy of Duan Shouhui's identity as the king of Dali as the suzerain, declared Yang Yizhen's killing of the lord Duan Lianyi as the crime of great rebellion, seized all the titles that had been given to the Yang family, recognized Gao Zhi's promotion to the prime minister of Dali, and promoted Tai to the general of Dingyuan, mounted the captain, and ordered him to crusade against the Yang family.

The most important thing is that the Great Song Dynasty will urgently assist Gao Xiangye with a batch of weapons, including a hundred war elephants, a thousand South China Sea Dragon Horses, including the complete armor of this 1,100 people, and two thousand hand-thrown earth-shaking thunders!

This business is actually very cost-effective for Gao Xiangye, Jianchang Mansion has long been an enclave, and it only belongs to Dali in name, but in fact, it has long been directly managed by the Song people.

The degree of development of copper mines in southern Yunnan is far less mature than the development of Nongdong copper mines, and Nongdong is in the heart of Yunnan, and those in southern Yunnan are on the border.

After this exchange was completed, after the Gao clan of Dali destroyed the Yang clan, it would completely unify the two traditional regions of Kunming and Erhai, even if it sent out southern Yunnan and northern Yunnan, it actually doubled the territory of Yunnan controlled by the Gao clan.

In this way, Zhang Dian was still extremely dissatisfied, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty had lost.

It wasn't until Su You asked Shi Fu to show Zhang Dun the distribution map of the mineral deposits in southern Yunnan, and then told him that letting Dali give up the ownership of the Dukou iron ore was the core of this exchange, and Jianchang Mansion was just a cover-up.

Southern Yunnan not only has more copper ore than Nongdong, but also gold, silver, platinum, coal, iron, lead, zinc, tungsten, manganese, phosphorus and potassium......

Zhang Duncai finally stopped making trouble.

These were just small episodes, and when everything was done, everyone's eyes converged on Western Xia again.

On November 18, Gengzi, Zhao Ji issued an edict: "The six roads have been asked by the Strategic Division to recover all the prefectures and counties in Hanoi, and they have been drawn with the affairs and entrusted with the official power; The necessary soldiers and horses are also based on the situation everywhere. I am very relieved. ”

"I asked the Zhongshu to send the officials to be elected to Hanoi to serve as actual economic officials, and Cai has been ordered to implement it."

"In the case of the dismissal of a long-term soldier, the Privy Council shall be relieved, such as a reward and a generous reward, and the military volunteers, except for the meritorious class, may be qualified according to the length of service, and shall be given preferential support."

"According to the previous law, it is limited to two hundred acres per ding, and it is exchanged for money and grain from cattle, horses, sheep, and flocks, and it must be strictly supervised and must not be excessive."

"Hearing that Hanoi is raging for Liang Yongneng and Ren Duo Lingding, the six roads are all responsible for the good deeds and appeasement of the six roads, and they visit to find the disaster and the wounds. and build work for relief, and not abandon the grass and fields, so that they will starve. ”

"The new cities, with Lingzhou as the key, listen to the music before, the city guards have no one in the hundreds, and they should be rectified and made a strong city."

"If Lingzhou has been consolidated, the battle of Xingqing will be implemented when the judgment is executed, but the matter is serious. Still rushing to the front of the army. ”

"If the Xia people send an envoy, they will order Su You and Shen Kuo to discuss the disposal in Lingzhou, and they will not be sent to Beijing and delayed for a long time."

"If Xingqing can not be broken suddenly, let the army return to the city and the city to get easy to get grain and grass, and wait for the end of the order to rest. Appease the soldiers in order to have an after-effect. If there is an urgent border matter, the telegram will be heard. ”

And ordered Wang Zhongzheng to lead the army to cross the river, and take more sweetness and coolness, according to the situation. Waiting for the army and horses to be rectified, there is a time to move, and there should be a call. ”

"The generals who died in this battle, and the prelude to Pei Ji and the dead soldiers in Lingzhou, all agreed to the invitation, and lowered the incense Wuhe, set up the Ling Pagoda, and the oil can be bowed as a sacrifice text, and the prayer is played."

"Hanoi was stacked with soldiers, and I am afraid that there will be a big epidemic in the year, so I have ordered Tang Shenwei to bring medicine to press."

……

Xingqing House, Privy Council.

Empress Dowager Liang and Empress Liang arrived together, and Liang Yibury and Jia Liang hurried to greet her.

The death of Liang Yongneng, Renduo Lingding, Liang Lingtong and other generals made the Empress Dowager Liang anxious.

Jia Liang is reporting the military situation to the Queen Mother and the Empress.

"The Song people have now taken over the Hetao and confronted me, but fortunately, before the martyrdom of Deputy Envoy Liang, he had ordered the destruction of ships in the river, so now, the Song people cannot cross the river from Lingzhou."

"To build a boat, it is not a momentary force, and Su You has always been serious, I heard that in recent days, countless large armies and carts have been going west along the river, and the Privy Council estimates that they are going to choose another place to cross the river."

Empress Dowager Liang asked, "Where would that be?" ”

Jialiang pointed to the military map: "The elder and I estimate that they will set up the location of the ferry in Lanzhou." ”

"So far?"

Jialiang said: "This estimate is well-founded, a few days ago, I received an urgent report from the military department of Baimaqiang Town, Su You has ordered Liu Changzuo to enter the Kaluo River from Lanzhou, and take Liangzhou while I am withdrawing the western army. ”

"And before the Lingzhou War, Bao Shun's department, which threatened my Xingqing, shrank back after the big victory, which is very unreasonable."

"But if you look at it in combination with the military map, you can know that the purpose of the Song people is self-evident."

Empress Dowager Liang and Empress Liang looked at the military map, and sure enough, Liangzhou, Lanzhou, and Yingliguan were all inverted equilateral triangles.

Among them, the north of Liangzhou and Yingliguan Avenue is the Great Wall, and the north of the Great Wall is a huge desert, which is a natural barrier.

Liangzhou blocked the possibility of the Western Xia army attacking Lanzhou from the Gansu Military Division and Hugh Tuze, while Yingliguan blocked the possibility of the Xia army attacking Lanzhou from Xingqing Mansion.

It can be said that Lanzhou is the best position for the Song army to cross the river, first of all, there are Liangzhou and Yingli Pass as the left and right wings, and there is no interference from the Xia army when crossing the river.

Secondly, Lanzhou was able to collect a large amount of pine wood from Qingtang to build boats.

Thirdly, Lanzhou is now a large base of the Western Route Army, and Li Xian has been operating it since he arrived, and there are no battle losses, and the grain and straw are piled up.

After Empress Dowager Liang read it, she didn't notice any problems, but Empress Liang asked, "Why can't it be Huizhou?" ”

Jialiang said: "Huizhou is actually a good place to cross the river, but the Song people will encounter several problems there, first of all, the transportation is inconvenient, it is not a place for the Song people to hoard, as a base for crossing the river, it needs to reallocate the reserves, far less convenient than Lanzhou." ”

"Secondly, after crossing the river, the Yellow River has a large bay to the northwest, so after logging in from the other side of Huizhou, the army needs to march to the northwest for a hundred miles first, and then advance to Yingli Pass, which is actually the same distance as after crossing the river in Lanzhou."

Empress Liang nodded silently and agreed with Jialiang's statement.

Empress Dowager Liang asked: "Once Lingzhou is lost, most of the ancestral foundation is lost, and half of the elite is lost on the battlefield, what should I do now?" ”

Jia Liang said: "After discussing with the prime minister and the elders, there are two strategies. ”

"Tell me."
