Chapter 856 Jingguan Wujun, the price of stupidity

Zhang Wu said more carefully: "Your Majesty, the small mouth is stupid, I'm afraid I can't describe the ...... of the battlefield."

Zhao Zhen glanced up at him and said, "I asked you to say that you are right, why do you want to spit out?" I didn't expect you to be a timid and cautious person, so how can you serve in the army? ”

Zhao Zhen was a little depressed in his heart, this Zhang Wugen seems to be a big-headed soldier but he is still a little clever, first use his stupid mouth as an excuse, for fear that he will blame him for not saying well, will the people in front of him be shaken and clever?

Zhang Wen's face changed, and his little trick was obviously seen through by the officials, and he bowed down again and again: "The villain knows that he is wrong, Your Majesty is angry!" ”

Sancai gave him a blank look, this little bit of caution still dares to play in front of the official family, it's really boring and tight, but Sancai also knows that he can't be blamed for this, after all, it is inevitable to say the wrong thing in front of the official, who doesn't know the horror of accompanying the king like a tiger?

"Our West Route Army and the Qingtang Coalition Army are in one place............ The walls of the Gansu military city were blasted open by gunpowder............ At this time, Di Shuai's Beiwei army came to help, defeated the Western Xia reinforcements, and the army took the Gansu military city......"

From Zhang Wen's simple words, Zhao Zhen understood the intensity of the war and the twists and turns, fortunately he ordered Di Qing to aid the Western Route Army, because of a little urgency in his heart, Zhao Zhen, who temporarily ordered Di Qing to assist the Western Route Army, has always regretted it, but he can't take back the military order, the Shandan Military Horse Farm is too important to him, so that even if he knows that the military order is improper, he doesn't want to take it back, but now he is crooked.

The capture of the Gansu Military City also means that the Shandan Military Horse Farm has fallen into the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, and only when the bag is settled, Zhao Zhen can breathe a sigh of relief, look at Zhang Wendao: "What you said is right, how about the Qingtang Coalition Army?" Is it okay for them to cooperate with the Western Route Army? I heard that it is better for them to fight with the wind, and once the war is unfavorable, they hesitate and move forward? ”

Zhang Wen nodded and said: "That's true, when the army blew up the wall of the Gansu Military Division, the Qingtang coalition army thundered with joy and rushed towards the Gansu military city, but when the reinforcements of the Western Xia people arrived, they began to panic again, the general said that they were condensed by revenge, and they had become a little distorted by killing all the way, and the hatred in their hearts had been vented, but at this time, most of the people in the Western Regions were doing nothing in the name of revenge. ”

Zhao Zhen got up and said, "What about the Gansu Military City?" Yang Zhongxian won't let the people of the Western Regions slaughter in the city, right? ”

But after Zhao Zhen's words were finished, Zhang Wen's face changed suddenly, and he looked up at the emperor cautiously and said: "Yang Shuai is the commander of the Great Song Dynasty after all, and he can't order the people from the Western Regions in the Qingtang Coalition Army, besides, it was the Qingtang Coalition Army that was the first to attack the Gansu Military City, and our Western Route Army blocked the enemy outside......"

"So the people of the Western Regions slaughtered the city?" Seeing Zhang Wen spitting out Zhao Zhen's eyes narrowed slightly, he suddenly raised his voice and drank: "Say!" ”

How could Zhang Wen, a small personal soldier, resist Zhao Zhen's momentum, and was so frightened that he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said: "The people of the Western Regions slaughtered the city for three days, men, women and children did not let go, I heard that there were pregnant people who disemboweled their stomachs and ate their children......"

"Presumptuous!" Sancai's voice raised in vain, and his sharp voice was even a little harsh, and he stopped Zhang Wen's words in horror, how could this kind of thing be said in front of the official? It's insulting! Even Sancai felt unbelievably cruel when he heard it, let alone the official family?

Zhao Zhen waved his hand and said, "Go on, let him go on!" ”

Zhang Wen cautiously glanced at him who was frightened by the sudden voice just now, and saw Zhao Zhen's frowning appearance and continued: "The people in the city defenders fought to the death, and none of them were spared, all of them were killed by the people of the Western Regions, and tens of thousands of people formed the Jingguan Martial Army......"

"Enough!" Zhao Zhen gasped and interrupted Zhang Wen's words, sure enough, he was worried that the people of the Western Regions would be difficult to control, but he didn't expect that they didn't care about the etiquette of the Great Song Dynasty, even if they followed the Great Song Dynasty to conquer the Western Xia, they should also ask the commander of the Western Route Army about one or two, obviously all this was done by them without permission, and Yang Zhongxian was also responsible for sitting idly by.

But the Jingguan Wujun has been in ancient times, and he can't be blamed for this crime, and Yang Zhongxian is the commander of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can't control those people from the Western Regions, from Zhang Wen's words, Zhao Zhen can hear that this is done by the people of the Western Regions themselves, and the Qingtang people did not participate, otherwise Zhang Wenda can be said to be the Qingtang coalition army, and there is no need to simply point out the people of the Western Regions.

This cruel and deterrent thing Huaxia did not do less, and the Jingguan Wu Army was actually a thing, that is, the corpses of the enemy were piled on both sides of the road, covered with soil and tamped, forming a pyramid-shaped mound.

In ancient texts, the original meaning of the word 阬 is a tall gatehouse, and the view is connected with que, and there is also the meaning of a gatehouse. It can be borrowed from the pit, and it is often written as a pit. Therefore, the pits mentioned in the history books generally refer to this kind of brutal killing of enemy prisoners of war, piled on both sides of the road, covered with soil to form small hills to show military prestige and deter the enemy, rather than digging large pits to bury prisoners of war alive.

It can be seen that the Qin army wanted to bury 400,000 people alive Zhao Jun how easy it is, if it is killed first and then built into a mound of earth it is much easier, but also to show military prestige, deter future generations, in the "Zuo Biography" recorded, at that time there was already a habit of building the defeated side of the dead as a Beijing view, so there were: the ancients killed thieves, the battle victory Chen corpse, must build the Beijing view, thought to hide the corpse.

Now the people of the Western Regions are building a capital view and building a military army, which may not be anything in Yang Zhongxian's eyes, but it will deeply stimulate the party members and make them even more crazy, and the Great Song Dynasty's attack on Xingqingfu, the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, will become more difficult.

When the Western Xia was about to destroy the country, Jingguan could no longer play a role in deterring the party members, but would turn them into a pack of terrible wolves, frantically resisting the attack of the Great Song Dynasty.

Increasing the cost and difficulty of the Great Song Dynasty expedition is stupid and harmful in Zhao Zhen's opinion!

Shaking his hands into a fist, Zhao Zhen angrily smashed the copper incense burner on the side, bang...... A dull sound echoed through the hall, like the roar of a dragon, or like the thunder before a rainstorm......

"The people of the Western Regions are not enough and scheming, they are not enough and scheming! It's my fault......"

Zhao Zhen's words made Sancai kneel and kowtow, and also made Zhang Wen tremble, he didn't understand why the official family was so angry, wasn't it the people of the Western Regions who slaughtered the city and built it into a Jingguan? Didn't you do this for the Great Song Army, what did it have to do with the Great Song Dynasty?

But he forgot that in the eyes of the Western Xia people, these people from the Western Regions are from the Great Song Dynasty, they are the minions of the Great Song Dynasty, hunting dogs, and everything the people of the Western Regions did was made by the Great Song Dynasty, and now the Great Song Dynasty has to pay for the stupidity of the people of the Western Regions, how can Zhao Zhen not be angry?

"Sancai, notify the Privy Council and order the Western Route Army to guard the Shandan Army Horse Farm and not to enter an inch! Ordered Yang Huaiyu to lead the Southern Route Army to build a walled city, patrol the border defense, and take the initiative to attack as a last resort, and pass on the matter of the Gansu Military Division to Di Qing, he knows what to do......"
