Chapter 498 - Newspaper -
On January 19, the fourth year of Jiayou, Zhao Zhen once again had to drag the sick body to the early court.
Because this is Xiao Hui's last forced palace, after many consultations to no avail, this time Xiao Hui forced the palace with a very strong meaning, when facing Zhao Zhen said, "This is the last time I Xiao Hui participated in the Song-Liao negotiations, since it has been inconclusive for a long time, it means that the Liao envoy has no role here, it is better to return to China earlier."
Xiao Hui didn't say what would happen after giving up the negotiations, in fact, even Xiao Hui herself didn't know what Xiao Yanshan, who was deployed in Nanjing, would do?
At this time, the two roads in Hebei in the Song Realm have basically entered the situation of beacon companies and battalions, and the messengers between various military departments can be seen running everywhere, which is very chaotic. As Beijing stayed in an emergency, Zhang Fangping's authority was even the same as Han Qi's, so without waiting for the order of the Privy Council, Zhang Fangping had already ordered the Shenwu heavy artillery unit to move in advance, intending to deploy it in the Hejian Fu fortress to deal with the situation.
The forced palace under this situation caused the early dynasty to last until noon.
Xiao Hui didn't say anything after she said cruelly, and only watched the panic of the Song court with cold eyes.
One two, five ten, thirty forty......
By noon, more and more Liao-phobic officials were persuading Zhao Zhen to reach an effective agreement with the Liao State as soon as possible, so as to maintain harmonious relations with his "allies" and make positive and responsible efforts for regional peace.
Regarding this situation, Wang Anshi and Han Qi wanted to leave directly. But now there is really a pill scene, and it is no longer one or two, and basically most officials have entered a state of fear of Liao. If he leaves like this, no one will give the emperor confidence.
So Han Qi and Wang Anshi had to hold on, but their voices were gradually muffled!
This rapidly turning atmosphere was so anxious that Zhao Zhen wanted to commit suicide, and he boasted that he had seen strong winds and waves, but this time the situation was really different.
"Your Majesty can't hesitate!"
"The Great Song Dynasty can't break the jar and break it, but still have to find a way to avoid visible wars and work hard for a peaceful rise."
"Yes, if the Song-Liao War is really opened because of this, causing the lives to be ruined, this will be the responsibility of the ancestors in our hands."
Except pills or pills!

Just when Lao Zhao was angry and wanted to faint, the messenger from the Volunteer Army, who was holding an eight-hundred-mile urgent talisman, rushed directly into the main hall on a war horse.
The messenger dismounted and knelt down breathlessly and said, "Report to Your Majesty...... Volunteers...... Volunteer ......"
The whole human heart is almost up to the throat. Lao Zhao also got up with a pale face: "What's wrong with my volunteers?" β
Han Qi danced and said, "What's wrong with the volunteers, tell me quickly." β
Finally relieved, Xiao Bing continued: "God bless the Great Song Dynasty, the Volunteer Army officially ended the Hehuang War on January 3!" β
"As early as early December, Xiao Wang Xianggong, who has always been concerned about the situation in Liao, made a quick judgment, believing that it could not be delayed, and the volunteer army must end the Hehuang Battle as soon as possible in the middle of winter to cope with the new changes."
"The Great Demon King lives here...... No, Xiao Wang Xianggong personally led the army to advance in the harsh cold winter with infantry, and set a deployment plan of three clusters plus one. β
"After rapid and effective mobilization of troops, by the end of December, Ma Jinxi's troops, Chen Ergou's troops, and Di Yong's troops were deployed in Xuanwei, Suibian, and Baosai respectively, successfully attracting the Manba troops to take the initiative to attack, and forming a basic encirclement for the first time."
"The 17 tentative engagements between the two armies caused mutual damage, and by the evening of December 31, Xiao Wang Xianggong made the judgment that 'the time is ripe for a decisive battle' and officially launched the largest battle since the start of the Hehuang War."
"When Ma Jinxi's troops were fighting hard in the Baosai position, the other two groups quickly contracted the encirclement, and the accurate and effective fire dragon of the 1st Corps was deployed, and 255 field guns were bombarded indiscriminately, and by the early morning of 1 January, the Manba division lost nearly 5,000 troops, and then retreated."
"Ma Jinxi's troops suffered a lot of losses, but they quickly pursued the enemy and counterattacked, and finally gritted their teeth and cooperated with the three clusters to effectively complete the encirclement, gathering 70 battalions of troops 120 miles west of Baosai, and effectively annihilating nearly 10,000 people of the Manba Army, so far, the Manba army was defeated on all fronts."
"By noon on January 2, more than 20,000 people of the Manba Corps, who had fought and retreated, were trapped by our army in the area between the Beichuan River and the Huangshui. At that time, Xiao Wang Xianggong was critically ill and could not be in a coma, so General Mu Guiying took over the final deployment. β
"With the assistance of the second round of fire dragons, by the early morning of January 3, except for a few hundred Western Xia stragglers who fled, our volunteers invested a total of 75 main battle battalions to close their pockets and shrink and advance, and the Baa department was basically wiped out at the mouth of the Hetao, and the battle of the Beichuan estuary was a great victory."
"Three battles and three victories! At this point, the Hehuang Xing Battalion of the Volunteer Army officially announced: The Hehuang War was won, and the bloody invasion of the Hehuang area was liberated! β
Because he didn't sleep for a long time, it was a military report sent by a few horses who ran dead in the heavy snow, and as soon as he finished speaking, this little soldier's head was deflected, and he fell to the main hall and snored like thunder.
Including Lao Zhao and Xiao Hui, the governor of the Northern Mansion of Liaoguo, all of them had their mouths half-open, and they couldn't speak for a long time.
No one blamed the soldiers for sleeping in the main hall, the atmosphere was as if it was frozen at absolute zero, and the hall was so quiet that there was not a single sound.
The atmosphere of the pill is rapidly dissipating.
At this moment, especially Lao Zhao, his gaze at everything became softer.
Wang Anshi, Han Qi, Fu Bi, Han Jiang, Bao Zheng...... Countless people were fascinated by the most glorious battle report in the history of the Great Song Dynasty, unwilling to wake up and unwilling to ask anything more.
But everyone who cares knows that the price of this victory is definitely not light, even Wang Yan was dragged sick by the war, and he was critically ill with words?
So for the time being, no one wants to understand those negative and bloody things in this explosive joy.
No one can succeed casually, the wonderful performance of a big name in the drama, under the glorious halo is more than ten years of skills, and some unspoken rules of blood and tears. Fan Lou is still like this, not to mention the Great Song Volunteers who won the Battle of Hehuang in the cold winter?
Including Xiao Hui of Liao, no one thought that the Song army, which had always been cowardly and afraid of war, afraid of cold, and had poor military quality, could be deployed in the harshest winter?
Everyone thinks that even if Wang Yan is not confused, the fastest time to win the Hehuang War will be April Day, so there will be enough time difference to facilitate the emotions of the Song State Pill Party and cooperate with the ugly military blackmail of the Liao State.
But in fact, the gods turned in, and the Song Volunteer Army passed on the good news again, gathering more than 250 fire dragon clusters, and drew an end to the Battle of Hehuang on the 3rd of January? The lag of Damn's news led me to Xiao Hui wasting countless expressions here.
The prestige of the fire dragon has basically been famous all over the world, and it is true that the Song army will not lose with the help of the fire dragon, but the big demon king reacted before anyone else, and in early December, he decisively set the strategy that must end the war in the severe cold, and by the end of December, he carried out accurate and efficient troop dispatch, basically completed the encirclement, and almost miraculously grasped the fleeting fighter plane, and used the sharp fire dragon in a decisive time.
In the end, the ruling victory over the Battle of Hehuang!
Now look at it, the fire dragon is just a symbol, the real difficulty is to control the timing of the big demon king, and now the shock brought to everyone by the battle of the Beichuan River is not from the fire dragon, but Wang Yan's amazing command performance!
ββ¦β¦β
Xiao Hui was speechless.
Under the most unfavorable pill situation earlier, the Emperor of the Song State was still hesitating and did not let go. Now, the Song Volunteer Army's dominating victory on the Hehuang battlefield is even more impossible to negotiate.
The Battle of the Beichuan Estuary directly reversed all the unfavorable situations of the Song State. It represents that the Song State can officially withdraw from the quagmire of the western battlefield. Western Xia did nothing anymore and could not cooperate with the Liao State.
As Xiao Hui, a famous general of the Liao State who once came to the city of Xingqing Mansion in Western Xia, he knew very well that the watershed of the situation in the world was the great victory in the battle of the Beichuan estuary under the command of Wang Yan!
At this time, not only could not count on the cooperation of Western Xia, but the Liao State also had a more severe situation to deal with. Because Manba had drawn enough hatred from the Tubo people earlier, and now that the Song Volunteer Army has won a great victory, the Tubo people will definitely carry out a counterattack quickly and effectively.
It is true that the Song Volunteer Army could not enter the territory of Western Xia, but in view of the state of war between Tubo and Western Xia, once the cavalry of the Song State quickly went north to occupy Suzhou and Xuanhua Mansion of Western Xia at this time, it became the territory of Tubo.
The famous general Xiao Hui knew that now there was no resistance in the south of Western Xia, and Xuanhua Mansion was originally garrisoned by the Gansu Military Division, but the military strength of the Gansu Military Division had already joined forces with Manba, and was completely annihilated by Wang Yan.
In order to deal with Xiao Yanshan's blackmail situation in Nanjing, Wang Yan would never travel thousands of miles from the Song realm to support Hedong and Hebei, but would use the Tubo people to open the way, quickly go north to the border of Chen Bing and Liao, encircle Wei and save Zhao, and directly deter most areas of Shangjingdao.
If the Shan army on the front line of Nanjing made any moves, confirming that as soon as the Song-Liao War began, Wang Yan's troops would make an arbitrary decision and advance quickly to defeat the Northwest Liao Recruitment Division.
There is no suspense at all, with the current quality of the Song State Volunteer Army and the power of a hundred battles, it is impossible for the tens of thousands of leather room troops of the Northwest Recruitment Division to withstand the Song State Volunteer Army.
With this in mind, Xiao Hui did not make another useless diplomatic statement.
Looking at it now, the Song-Liao War will definitely not be fought. At this time, the Song State had the confidence to greatly surpass the Lanyuan period, but the newly enthroned Yelu Hongji did not have the centralization and prestige of the Empress Dowager Xiao.
It would be very good to be able to quickly shrink the strategy and help the Western Xia withstand the counterattack of the Tubo people, so as not to greatly disrupt the existing strategic balance of the world.
Really, Xiao Hui knew that the Tibetan people's counterattack would be faster than expected, and it would be overwhelming. Because now the Western Xia border defense has no backbone, Zhuo Luolan has been persecuted by the group of damned pill politicians in Western Xia into Xingqing Mansion.
"It is regrettable that this diplomacy has been fruitless, but the good thing is that it has also left enough room for follow-up negotiations between my friendly Song and Liao sides. It has been a long time since she left Beijing, Xiao Hui is unwell to the water and soil of the Song Kingdom, and she is sick and can't stay for a long time, so she asks His Majesty the Song Emperor for forgiveness for the rudeness. β
After Xiao Hui finished speaking, without even waiting for Zhao Zhen's consent, she decisively turned around with a smile on her face and quickly left the hall.
If the hegemony of the Liao State does not want to fall apart like this, it must not tear up with the Song State now, and the top priority must be to help the Western Xia withstand the counterattack of the Tubo people. Then the fastest and most effective way is to go back and find a way to get the Liao State to put pressure on the politics of the Western Xia, and order the Western Xia to use Zhuo Luolan to guard the border as soon as possible, so as to stop Wang Yan's frenzied counteroffensive plan.
If they didn't catch up and they killed him, the situation would have worsened. Then it must be hoped that Wang Yan will be ill and slow down the Tibetan counteroffensive plan.
After Xiao Hui left impolitely, Wang Anshi couldn't cry, while rejoicing in his son's military victory, he was careful of his illness since he was a child, hoping that there would be no accidents.
Based on the heartache and short-term thoughts, even Wang Anshi couldn't help but avoid suspicion, and immediately asked Zhao Zhen with tears: quickly summon Wang Yan back to Beijing for treatment.
Of course, Zhao Zhen planned to agree, but Fu Bi and Han Qi objected, on the grounds that if it was really a congenital disease, it would not be cured if he returned to Beijing. If not, then theoretically foreign diseases can't drag the young man to death, and now that the war situation is predetermined, the situation may change again, and he needs to stabilize the Hehuang area and preside over and guide the counteroffensive plan of the Tubo people, so as to reverse the passivity of the Song State and put some pressure on the arrogant Liao State stick......
