Chapter 728: Yue Fei's Plan for Western Xia
After Zhao Ying was called over by Zhao Huan, she looked at it for a long time, and thought about it for a long time before saying, "Official, why don't you put this thing together with the plague and holy sores?" The minister thinks, if it is popular in the Wa Kingdom and spreads to the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't it be dangerous? ”
"It is written in the official family notebook that long-term use can lead to the extinction of offspring."
Zhao Huan tasted the product, and carefully tasted it for a long time, and finally gave up the idea of arranging the Flying Feather King.
Without him, the Wenzhi of the Great Song Dynasty is a leader in the feudal dynasty, but it is still the standard of the feudal dynasty, and illiteracy accounts for ninety percent of the entire Song Dynasty's billion-dollar population.
It is still difficult to popularize the dangers of lead poisoning.
"Then put it together." Zhao Huan nodded and said, this kind of strategic backhand is naturally prepared.
"I hope that the minister will never see a time in his life when the official family can use these methods." Zhao Ying carefully placed the notebook in the golden treasure and hid it in the secret room of the Wende Palace.
The notes in this are all things that cannot be seen in history and are exposed against the benevolent image of the official.
In order to release the plague, a roster of dead soldiers specially cultivated for smallpox was also among them.
"Knowledge is power, and science and technology are the primary productive forces." Zhao Huan looked at Zhao Ying's back, shook his head and said.
At this time, Yue Fei was enjoying the fact that science and technology are the embodiment of the primary productive forces, and the sky is thundering.
Yue Fei stood a few miles outside Wuhai City, carefully observing the garrison of the Western Xia people in Wuhai City. Although the thunder thundered for several days, the Tangut people still did not break the camp.
"Zhang Xian, has the edict of the official family reprimanded the king of Western Xia arrived in Xingqing Mansion? Hasn't Li Qianshun replied yet? Zhao Huan put down the clairvoyant mirror in his hand and asked his first secretary.
Fighting a war also requires a sense of ritual, the Great Song Dynasty disdains to play something with the Western Xia without declaring a war, as a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, there is no need to discuss it at all.
However, Yue Fei still asked for a holy decree, asking the official family to reprimand the Western Xia people for stealing chickens when the Great Song Dynasty attacked Liaodong County.
"The official family's holy decree has arrived in Xingqing Mansion, Li Qianshun said that he was very embarrassed." Zhang Xian said with a smile: "According to Huang Yanjie's report, as soon as the official's reprimand arrived, the entire Western Dynasty was in an uproar, some negotiated peace, and some were desperate. ”
"In principle, Li Qianshun has agreed to apologize, but he can't accept the Great Song Dynasty's request to ask for the land of Wuhai City, and asks Huang Yanjie if he can pay compensation."
Yue Fei nodded, this was the result he had already guessed, he sneered, and said, "If the apology is useful, what use do you want us to do." ”
Yue Fei looked at Wuhai City, which was very heavily guarded, and frowned.
The holy decree he asked for was naturally to act in accordance with the art of war, and if it was a soldier who could surrender without a fight, it would be the safest thing.
The Great Song Dynasty needed the Tangut people to make substantial compensation for their actions, not to be painless.
The official reprimand is equivalent to the holy decree of declaring war, which makes the Xixia people extremely frightened, but the Wuhai town is still guarded by elite soldiers, even if the morale is a little sluggish by the official family's snack, but it still has not reached the point of rout.
"The Hejian Army has been fighting for many years, if this battle cannot be won quickly, the official family will give us a few months less time to repair, which will not be conducive to the attack on Huanglong Mansion next year." Yue Fei said to Zhang Xian very seriously.
If Wuhai is not taken, the Tangut people will invade the Hetao next year, and the people of the Hetao will suffer again.
However, taking Wuhai City at a heavy cost of casualties or months of time is a move that outweighs the loss.
Zhang Xian also nodded, the garrison of Wuhai City was more thorough than Zhang Xian thought, and the Western Xia people had long been ready to meet the wrath of the Great Song Dynasty, and put down heavy troops in Wuhai City.
"There are 70,000 Hejian troops, and there are 50,000 elite soldiers in Wuhai City. Zhang Xian said with a little embarrassment.
In three months, it was winter.
Zhang Xian's sentence of 70,000 to 50,000 will be fought according to the method of besieging the city, and he threatened to go down to the city in March, in fact, the side reflects the strength of the Hejian army.
In siege battles, the ratio of casualties between the besieging side and the defending side is generally five to one, with five dead on the besieging side and one dead on the defending side.
This is also the fundamental reason why Wanyan Zongwang implemented the frog jumping tactic at the beginning, from Yanjing to Bianjing, all the way through, his 20,000 people are difficult to take a city, quickly interspersed, give full play to the cavalry advantage of the combat mode, play the greatest role of the Jin soldiers.
And the guidance of the art of war for siege is also in the case of equal armament, ten encirclement and annihilation.
And what Zhang Xian said about 70,000 encircling 50,000, pressing and beating, is indeed the performance of the elite soldiers of the Hejian army.
"We're here for vacation, not to fight, and it's unexpected to fight Wuhai City." Yue Fei said with a victory in his hand.
Zhang Xian said with a smile: "In fact, if the Jin State didn't look down on the Tangut people before, thinking that its wall grass, whichever side is strong will lead to that side, if not, the Jin people will unite with the Tangut people with all their might, and my Great Song Dynasty's attack on Liaodong will not be smooth." ”
What Zhang Xian said is that when Song Renzong was in the beginning, Li Yuanhao of Western Xia rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty, and the Liao State fully supported the Western Xia, which formed the situation of the Three Kingdoms, which led to the Great Song Dynasty recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun, and there were advantages of the Western Xia.
And Li Chengshun's refusal of Yelu Yanxi's political asylum became the reason why the Jin State looked down on the Tangut people, and it was this disdain that made the Great Song Emperor cut off the connection between the Tangut and the Jin people after the first battle in Tiandezhou.
One cause and one effect, all have a definite number.
"How's the survey going on at Shizuishan?" Yue Fei nodded and agreed with Zhang Xian's statement, but he remembered what the official family had told him, in this world, there is no if.
Zhang Xian hurriedly replied: "The horse has returned, the mountain road is unimpeded, and the Beiwei army has occupied the important highlands along the Shizui Mountain Road. ”
"Let's go, then." Yue Fei buckled the mask off his hood.
He was covered with armor, a plate of armor given to him by the officials.
The only thing he is dissatisfied with is that the official family has a lot of patterns on it, which is very exquisite, but it is a little bit bells and whistles, and the name is also very bells and whistles.
Since Yue Fei dared to tell the official family that he wanted to take Wuhai City, he naturally already had a belly case, and by the time the official family's holy decree arrived, Yue Fei had already completed his strategic deployment.
He really wants to take Wuhai City, strategic thinking, and it is also a soldier who surrenders without a fight, but what he wants to fight is not Wuhai City, but through Shizui Mountain next to Wuhai City, he will besiege Wei and save Zhao.
Besiege Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia, and attack the enemy must be saved.
"The battle of Wuhai City, but not in Wuhai, I don't know Li Qianshun's head that only knows women, can you think of this?" Yue Fei glanced back at Wuhai City, stepped on his horse, and a large number of horsemen followed Yue Fei towards the Wuhai Mountain Road.
The target is Xingqing Mansion, the capital of Western Xia.
