Chapter 128: The Egg with a Seam

Taizu said that we should despise the enemy strategically and attach importance to the enemy tactically.

Don't look at Fang Zhongyong, who made Yuan Hao disgraced and defeated his arrogance. But if you really want to say that Yuan Hao can fight in a battle, Fang Zhongyong can only say three words to him, roll over!

But the question is, there are really a lot of such goods!

At the beginning, Yuan Hao heard that the court immediately discussed sending troops, and the ministers argued: "Yuan Hao is just a clown who jumps off the beam, and he can be killed if he sends a general." ”

On the afternoon of March, Wu Yu suggested: "Although Yuan Hao is a minister, he can't be rented by the county officials, so it is advisable to put it externally and show that he is not responsible." And he has already arrogantly obeyed the public opinion, boasting about Dian Hao, and he is bound to not be able to cut himself. It is advisable to give the story of Jiangnan at the beginning of the country, change its name slightly, and you can caress it. ”

Playing in, Prime Minister Zhang Shixun smiled and said: "People say that Wu Zhengyan is crazy, sure enough!" ”

The madman Wu Yufu said: "If you can't follow the story of Qian Yu to appease him, it is advisable to clear the wilderness, frustrate the urgency, and take measures based on the situation." ”

The chapter enters the center, and it is not reported.

The capital is far away, and the exchange of news is inconvenient, if Fang Zhongyong knew Wu Yu's words, he would definitely sigh with emotion, "There is a person who understands."

The Tangut people have been fighting for many years, and they have long looked down on life and death. Those who survive after a hundred battles must have their own merits. And these veterans passed on their combat experience by word of mouth and taught it to their descendants.

And nomads have been training riding since they were born, riding sheep at the age of three, riding dogs at the age of five, and grazing with adults at the age of ten. Horseback riding and hunting were basic life skills, and they were by no means comparable to the Song people, who had hardly ever seen horses.

What's more serious is that the Tangut people were poor and took pride in plundering the Song people. The Song people were robbed and sued to the government, and the government could only expel them. If you want to chase and arrest, you have to catch up with others, right?

So a paradox arises, the good people are always bullied, and the bad people are always at large. The weaker the good guys, the stronger the bad guys.

To be fair, in terms of the quality of individual soldiers and the will to fight, one Western Xia soldier can fight ten Song soldiers. How big of a heart do you have to dare to say that Western Xia can be decided in one battle?

Of course, we also have to have self-confidence - not blindly confident like the princes of the court, that is called arrogance. The Tangut people are poor!

Although Yuan Hao has almost no advantages except for a series of shortcomings such as reckless military force, greed, patience and killing, he still has some brains in governing national politics. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, on the basis of dredging the original channel, a water conservancy project with a length of more than 200 miles from Qingtongxia to Pingluo County was built, making the area around the capital Xingqing Mansion one of the main grain production bases in Western Xia.

I'm not afraid that the shepherd will herd sheep, but I'm afraid that the shepherd will farm!

There is food at home, and there is no panic in my heart.

Yuan Hao felt that he was also a rich man, and he had the capital to argue with Zhao Song, so he sent a letter of affection to Zhao Zhen, uh no, it was a war letter that seemed to be sealed, but in fact it was a break.

But did the Tangut people really get rich and become well-off? Hehe.

Take Wu Yu's words, "The ruler does not rent the county officials", which means that the GDP of Western Xia is about equivalent to a state and county in the Song Dynasty. It may be a slight exaggeration, but you expect a country that has just learned to farm and takes animal husbandry as the pillar of its economy how strong its economic strength is, and you can't help but look up to Yuan Hao too much.

Another important advantage, which has been confirmed many times in the duel between agriculture and nomadism in successive dynasties, is that nomads are not good at building cities and are not good at attacking cities.

As a result, Fang Zhongyong's military strategy was introduced: clear the wilderness, harden the village, and fight in a daze.

It's easy to do it, in short, it's to be a turtle with a shrunken head, no matter how you shout and provoke, I just stay in the strong city and don't go out, what can you do to me?

It's easy to understand if you're dumbfounded. If you come with a hundred men, I will send five thousand men to fight you, and I will not be able to lose. If you come with 10,000 people, don't I have a hard village?

The hardest part is the clear field. A series of idioms and sayings such as the homeland is difficult to leave, the broken family is worth ten thousand, and the fox dies on the head hill, which clearly expresses the attachment of Chinese to their hometown.

Didn't you Yuan Hao boast that you can run fast and win? So what are you fighting for? Isn't it to see the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty and want to mix up some benefits?

Then I'll leave you without anything.

Houses were bulldozed, wells were filled, roads were blocked, and grain, livestock, vegetables and vegetables were all brought to the rear. By the way, there are also trees, firewood, and grass.

Take it all, take it all! There must be no one left around the eighteen villages of Jinming, a little material! In short, not a single needle can be left for the enemy!

It seems that there is a lot of movement and it is easy to arouse public anger. In fact, there was a military village near Jinming, and there were not many people. And the people who were forced to leave their hometowns arrived in Yanzhou, and found that the houses were in order, the traffic was strange, and the chickens and dogs smelled each other, which was simply a paradise.

What's even more gratifying is that Lord Fang, who loves the people like a son, has already planned a livelihood for the people who have migrated. or help build a walled city, or cultivate the divided ownerless wasteland, or more often go to Yanzhou to dig charcoal, and the salary is similar to the Xinzhou example.

Even if there are old and weak people who can't do heavy physical work, they can also go to the river to pick up some black stones and sell them to Lord Fang at a high price. The people's understanding is that "the city will play", and Fang Zhongyong's understanding is "this thing is Moyu".

Play their proper role!

The old man in Fuzhou next door saw that Fang Zhongyong was having a good time, and wanted to learn advanced experience so that he could deal with the upcoming war. was sued by the imperial history of a paper complaint to the emperor, and the prefect of the prefecture was tortured and abused by Xuan, lost his heart, and was demoted to the governor of Chuzhou, and succeeded the governor of Min Prefecture with his younger brother.

Others asked: "Why is it feasible for Fang Zhongyong to be feasible, but it is not feasible to break the family?" ”

Fang Zhongyong was reluctant to say too deeply, and said incomprehensibly: "Look at both temperament and appearance." ”

Seeing that outsiders are making a lot of money, the inferior root nature of the Chinese people who do not suffer from widowhood but suffer from unevenness has flare up again.

Why? Lord Fang can't favor one over the other! We're also patriotic, aren't we? We're going to work! We're going to eat!

Of course, this was all Fang Zhongyong's malicious speculation, and the people only made a slight suggestion and had many cordial and friendly exchanges with the migrants.

At the right time, the judge of Yanzhou, Chong Shiheng, said: "Two hundred miles northeast of Yan'an, there is a reason for Kuanzhou, please prosper because of its abandoned base, so as to be Kou Chong." The right can consolidate the trend of Yan'an, the left can lead to the millet of the east of the river, and the north can draw silver and the old summer. ”

Fang Zhongyong was overjoyed, how could he forget this? This is the ancestor of the "old breed and slightly fair" in the mouth of Lu Tizhi! The founder of the Plantation Army!

Hurriedly entertained the students, made promises, and attached a recital to the end, explaining the importance of building Qingjian Castle.

The imperial court followed it and ordered Shiheng Dong to serve. The Xia people have repeatedly come to fight, and Shiheng has fought and the city. However, there is no spring in danger, doubt can not be kept, digging the ground one hundred and fifty feet from the beginning to the stone, and the masonry can not be worn. Shiheng ordered a stone, paid a hundred dollars, and died in the spring. The city is completed, and the name is given to Qingjian.

Fang Zhongyong was very busy, and Yuan Hao was not idle.

He repeatedly sent meticulous work to spy on the military situation, but he was all recognized and arrested by the scouts led by Di Qing and the defenders of Jinmingzhai.

There are those who escaped by luck, and it is said that Yanzhou is very well defended, and it is not easy to have an in-depth understanding of the enemy's situation. Yuan Hao doesn't believe it, one hammer can't break the walnut, can't just have another hammer?

Sent again, unsurprisingly, he was caught again.

It's just that this meticulous work is different from the ordinary, neither desperate fighting, nor wagging his tail and begging for mercy, but just very calmly tied his hands and sneered.

Some soldiers couldn't get used to his virtue, and raised their hands to slap him: "Laugh at your sister!" Later, there will be a time for you to cry. ”

Na Xiaozuo sneered: "I am a guest of your capital prison, which of you dares to be rude to me?" Bring me my gifts, but they're missing, watch out for your dogs! ”

Seeing that the man was calm, the patrolling soldier felt that something must be wrong, and hurriedly reported to Di Qing.

Di Qing took the fine gift and looked at it, hey, it was full of a large bag of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and there was a letter in the middle.

When I opened it, I read it: General Li Junjian, I have met in Hongzhou, and I haven't heard my brother's language for a long time, and I miss it very much. The special person took some money and property, and longed to meet his brother again and conspire with great things.

Payment: Yeli Ganglangling

When the news was reported to Fang Zhongyong, Fang Zhongyong laughed: "Yuan Hao'er also knows how to use it?" ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Fang Zhongyong explained: "Yeli Ganglang Ling is Yeli Wangrong, and he killed Yeli Yuqi's brother for this handsome." Do you know what kind of friendship Li Dujian has with Xixia Ye Li's family? ”

Everyone couldn't speak, but Xia Yuanheng said: "The last general knows a lot." The father of Li Dujian tried to defeat the Western Xia thieves and obtained more than 600,000 soldiers, and Yuan Hao was deeply ashamed. In the end, he thought that others might be able to make peace with Xixia, but only Shibin couldn't, and this must be Yuan Hao's plan! ”

Fang Zhongyong was greatly appreciative: "What Yuan Heng said is extremely true. ”

"Please pay attention to the wording. The last general did not want to have anything to do with Yuan Hao, and asked for a name change. ”

Unexpectedly, he met an angry young man, Fang Zhongyong had no choice but to say: "Okay, what Brother Junzheng said is very true. And those who conspire are the main purpose of the secret. Where is there such a thing as this wild Li Wangrong, who can't wait to beat gongs and drums? This must be because Yuan Hao is jealous of Li Dujian and wants to use my hand to get rid of my fierce general!

Although he is not talented, he has still read "Sun Tzu", but I don't know if Yuan Hao has read it? ”

Everyone laughed, and the so-called suspicion naturally disappeared.

Li Shibin was grateful, and immediately swore that he would go out of the customs and kill the summer thief to show his loyalty.

Within a few days, he struck the thief, took the head, sheep and horses for self-efficacy, and offered wealth and goods to Fang Zhongyong.

Li Shibin, who wanted to be praised, was scolded and scolded: "Who do you think you are?" Xiang Yu? Xiang Yu also died under the wall, where are you going to die? The courage of the horseman is not to be done. If there is a next time, military law will be engaged! ”

Li Shibin thought that Master Fang was young and thin-skinned, and he was embarrassed to accept the gift, so he left the gift with a long smile.

Seeing that this product was really muddy and couldn't be on the wall, Fang Zhongyong had to arrange Di Qing: "In the next period of time, you have to pay close attention to Li Shibin's movements." Once there is a change, you are allowed to cut it first and then play. ”

Di Qing was very puzzled: "This Li Shibin is really a spy?" That Xia is chiseled with his words, it doesn't seem to be a fake! ”

"I don't know if he's a spy or not, but I always feel that he is brave and scheming, and he is an egg with seams. Yuan Hao, the fly, may just want to open a gap from him. ”

"What can I do about it?"

"If he acts absurdly, he can immediately find the summer and follow it. If Xia Sui cannot be controlled, this official will grant you the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and immediately seize his military power and take it back to you.

By the way, Hanchen, you have made meritorious contributions to the arrest, and this official intends to play for you to show merit, or he can be the commander of Yanzhou. ”
