Chapter 7 The Scholars Who Like to Play Chess

The ironclad infantry of the Great Song Dynasty is invincible in this era, this is a common sense!

The Buren Armor, which is composed of 1,825 nail leaves, generally weighs 58 Song Jin. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it is the armor-breaking cone of the Tangut people or the carved arrows of the Khitan people, the damage to the Buren armor is actually very limited.

The heavy infantry, which was mainly equipped with iron armor and spears and crossbows, relied on the trench fortress in a dense formation, and cooperated with a small number of mounted cavalry to repeatedly defeat the cavalry of the Western Xia and Khitan.

It's a pity that this kind of defeat is just a defeat, and because of the excessive load, they can only complete the defeat, but they can't completely destroy the enemy.

A group of heavy infantry, as long as the command center is not chaotic, even in the encirclement of the enemy, they can still break through the enemy's encirclement like a wild boar with a thick scalp.

The most powerful time for the infantry is when they form a large group, and the cavalry can storm the first, second, and even third lines of defense, and under such an impact, their speed will soon be consumed by the ironclad infantry.

When the cavalry no longer had the advantage of speed, the light sabers in their hands were only ready to be killed in the face of the hoplites.

Tie Xinyuan has always believed that those classic examples of winning more with less and defeating the strong with the weak are all cases of the weak coach going crazy with all his might when he knows that he will lose, as long as there is a problem in a certain link, the destruction of the whole army is the ultimate punishment for him.

"It's not that we like to divide our troops, but we have to do it as a last resort, and it is difficult for him to support the logistics of an army that is too large.

If 10,000 ironclad foot soldiers want to exercise, they need 30,000 pack horses, 1,000 carts, and 20,000 people......

The pack horses, carts, grains, and craftsmen needed by 100,000 ironclad foot soldiers are not just a matter of increasing ten times more than what 10,000 ironclad foot soldiers need.

It's a ...... that can be subverted."

Tie Xinyuan smiled: "In other words, the emperor simply does not allow such a force that can subvert the country to be handed over to a certain person, right?"

Divided into six branches, those generals restrained each other, monitored each other, restrained each other, and passed the buck to each other.

In this way, no one can really rebel, and His Majesty is relieved enough, the question is, they are all busy with these things, who will go to war? ”

"This has been the case since ancient times...... This is not the first of my Great Song Dynasty, the only person who can command such an army is the emperor!

If such a force is easily handed over to others, don't say that the official family, even the old man can't even think of passing this level! ”

"Then let the emperor lead the troops!"

"The official family is the foundation of the country, how can it be easy to get into danger?"

"In that case, after eating so many defeats, what can't you figure out?"

Bao Zheng smiled: "Don't say it easily, when your kingdom grows, you will encounter these problems, and the old man wants to know how you can solve them?" ”

Tie Xinyuan laughed and said: "It's simple, the direct commander only needs to command a thousand troops."

Only the high-ranking generals of the country can command them, and the high-ranking generals do not directly command the troops, and they will only command the commanders who are transferred from them to fight at zero hour in wartime. ”

Bao Zheng looked at Tie Xinyuan with disdain and said: "This set of Great Song has long been ......."

"It's been used for a long time, hasn't it? As a result, the soldiers do not know the generals, and the generals do not know the soldiers, right? ”

Bao Zheng arched his hand and said: "I wish to hear the high theory!" ”

Tie Xinyuan shook his head and said, "Of course you can't say that if you are willing to go to the Hami Qingxiang Kingdom to serve as a plenipotentiary judge for three years, the Qingxiang Hami Kingdom will not have any secrets to you." ”

Bao Zheng stroked his beard and laughed: "You value it, the old man is very honored, he has been in the Central Plains for a long time, and he really wants to see the majesty of the Western Desert."

If the official family allows, what if the old man accompanies you to serve as a plenipotentiary judge for three years?

Let's talk about it first, the old man's salary can't be low. ”

Tie Xinyuan sighed and said, "If you can really go, the treasury of the Hami Qingxiang Country is at your disposal." ”

The smile on Bao Zheng's face slowly disappeared, and he squinted his eyes and said: "The old man is already old, if he goes to your fragrant Hami country, the biggest possibility is to bury his bones in a foreign land."

However, there are young handsome people in the Great Song Dynasty, and if you can give them a proper position and let them show what they have learned, this is not impossible! ”

"Shhh

Tie Xinyuan gasped, his pupils were shrinking, he never expected that the emperor and those bigwigs would think of this idea.

Bao Zheng took a sip of tea slowly and said, "A powerful Hami Qingxiang Kingdom is in the interests of my Great Song Dynasty.

When a powerful Hami Qingxiang Kingdom appears in Western Xia, behind the Khitans, I will have a real ally in the Great Song Dynasty.

This would be a very big threat to the two countries that put pressure on the Great Song Dynasty.

Your current Hami Qingxiang Country, no matter how brilliant you say, can't hide the reality of your low strength after all.

If Da Song can help you become stronger, it won't be a big deal if you suffer a little loss for the time being. ”

Tie Xinyuan sat up straight, looked at Bao Zheng and said, "You already have a strategy?" ”

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "As early as when you left Persia, you already had such a strategy.

Originally, it was Khotanese that was going to be supported, but unfortunately, that country had perished, and then we pinned our hopes on the Persians, hoping that the Persians could fight a vicious battle with the Western Xia and Khitan, and then, we would sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and finally complete the final blow to the Western Xia, Khitan, or one of the victors of the Persians, and complete the dream of reviving the prestige of the Han and Tang Dynasties!

I really didn't mean to murder you when I sent you to Persia, I just hoped that you could get into a relatively high position in Persia......

As a result, you always surprised that you did not go to Persia, but rebuilt the kingdom of Khotan, which is the greatest good news we have received from the war-torn Western Regions.

If you are not of my race, your heart will be different, and how can you support others to support you. ”

Tie Xinyuan was so surprised that he didn't even feel the teacup in his hand falling, and looked at Bao Zheng stupidly and asked, "Who came up with this idea?" Did you consider the feasibility of this plan in the first place?

Have you considered the feasibility of me being dismantled as jerky? ”

Bao Zheng said with a smile: "To be honest, no, this plan itself is a dispensable plan, and it has gained a lot if it succeeds, even if it fails, it is just a loss of a few people, which is a big deal!" ”

When Bao Zheng said this, he twisted his head to the side and pretended to be stupid Meng Yuanzhi and said: "Under the old man's sharp eyes, Meng Yuanzhi, do you think that by sticking a yellow beard and wearing a set of Hu people's clothes, you can hide from the world?"

What kind of crime is it to defile the court? Do you think that you can force the court to let you go just by virtue of your martial arts?

If it weren't for the fact that you were still useful, your nine clans would have been chopped into meat sauce by the old man's quick knife and fed to the dogs. ”

Tie Xinyuan looked at Meng Yuanzhi, who was already sweating, and then at Bao Zheng, who was sitting there smiling, and frowned: "Xixia is a perverted monster born under your mentality. ”

Bao Zheng smiled: "You are different, you may look down on my scholars and doctors in the Great Song Dynasty, but you have mercy on those people, besides, even if you become the second Li Jiqian, how bad can the situation be?"

As long as the war in the Western Regions does not stop for a day, the Great Song Dynasty will be able to benefit for one more day.

Ouyang Xiu told me the story of the Mugwu man, and the old man felt the same way when he heard it, since the North Sea had frozen, those barbarians would definitely be driven south by the cold weather, and after the news that the Great Song Dynasty got from the Goryeo Kingdom, he believed that the chaos in the west and north was coming.

But ah, if you want those barbarians to form a climate that really threatens the Western Xia, you don't have to think about it for nearly a hundred years with the Khitan.

In such a situation, it is very necessary to arrange a hand of idle chess in advance, anyway, the land of the Western Regions was not my Great Song Dynasty in the first place, who is the king, do you think we will care?

If you have the ability, you can unify the west and the north, and we will confront each other again. ”

Tie Xinyuan said in surprise: "When did Da Song become so bold?" That's not how you do things. ”

Bao Zheng laughed and said: "Everyone has inconsequential conjectures, as a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, you still have the ability to worry about the sky, this is just a plan that thinks far." ”

"Jingluo Qingtang is a plan that you have in mind? Now that you have a plan for the far and the near, you should also have a prevention mechanism after the failure, right? ”

"This is a major matter of the country, how can I tell you?"

"Can you send me all the young people in the Guozi Prison, and I will pay the Yulu, according to three times their size in the Great Song Dynasty.

In addition, can Mr. Ouyang and his disciples also be sent to Hami, and I will definitely treat them as gods, so that the light of my saints can also shine on my ignorant Hami subjects?

As for the people in the secret spy department, there will be fewer ......."

In the middle of the moon, Bao Zheng was gone, and as soon as he left, the frog, which had begun to chirp two days ago, began to chirp again after being quiet for half the night.

God knows how many guards Lao Bao brought with him to guard the surroundings when he came.

"Let's go!"

Meng Yuanzhi took off his Hu Ren clothes and walked around the tea shed restlessly.

Tie Xinyuan said with a smile: "Two days ago, you were still interested in trying to seize the Great Song Dynasty through my son, and now there is a dawn, why have you become scared?" ”

"We're exposed!"

"We've been exposed a long time ago!"

"I slept with the emperor's concubine!"

"I think the emperor has a lot of women, and he shouldn't care too much."

"I care, I thought this matter was over, but now I find out that the emperor is still angry, he has never been a magnanimous person, not to mention that this kind of thing can't be forgiven at all as long as it is a man."

"You weren't scared when you came to Tokyo!"

"At this time, at that time, you and I are being watched from beginning to end, which is really scary." (To be continued.) )
