Chapter 463: His Highness is used to playing scoundrels
The generals carried Li Bingzuo to the low collapse in the tent, and then the military doctor was called in, waiting for the confirmation that Li Bingzuo was okay, and then everyone was relieved. Now Li Bingzuo is also old, and his body is not as good as before, if something really happens, who can afford this responsibility? In fact, everyone understands that His Royal Highness is too important to the Great Xia Kingdom, and if there is no him, the Great Xia Kingdom will collapse half of the sky.
After there was no worry in their hearts, everyone remembered the letter that His Royal Highness had just thrown on the ground, and returned to the military tent to look for it, and finally found the paper under the case. can faint His Royal Highness, it must be a long speech with flying style and sharp words, right? But just a glance, all the generals were dumbfounded. Thinking that Zhuge Kongming scolded Wang Lang to death back then, he was really sharp-tongued, and his mouth was full of chapters, scolding, quoting scriptures, and talking endlessly. His Royal Highness is much stronger than Wang Lang, and his heart is also very steady, he can make him angry, presumably his words are even more powerful than Zhuge Kongming, but in fact, there are only a few dozen words on the white paper of Nuoda, and the words are also unsightly. Just such a little word, which made His Royal Highness angry?
"I heard that His Royal Highness is sympathetic to his subordinates, and this king is not hypocritical, and he is willing to send Yinzhou City and the 320,000 people in the city plus 7,000 soldiers of Xiong Guangbi with both hands!"
The generals of Chongxi Xia looked at each other, and their hearts were cold, as if they saw a handsome man with a rogue face, the man touched his chin with his left hand, and his eyes were full of smug smiles. His Royal Highness the Prince of the Great Song Dynasty is willing to send Yinzhou City with both hands, which is naturally better, but the problem is more than 20 words behind. Will hundreds of thousands of people in Yinzhou and more than 7,000 soldiers from Xiong Guangbi's department also be sent back? It is possible to send it back. But it had to be a corpse. All the Western Xia generals stood in their tents and were silent. They kind of understood why His Highness was fainted. It's not that His Royal Highness is narrow-minded, it's really that Han dog is too scoundrel.
That is His Royal Highness the King of Song Qin, Song Zhezong's bloodline, a person with such a noble background, but he does things so shamelessly. This is a flattering letter, it is simply a Hades Talisman. Hehe, that Zhao Yougong is really not pretentious, he is a scoundrel in an open and honest manner. He said these few dozen words very clearly, as long as His Royal Highness led people to storm the eastern mountain pass in Hengshan, His Royal Highness Zhao ordered the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of people in Yinzhou, and more than 7,000 prisoners under Xiong Guangbi were not spared. understood what Zhao Yougong meant, everyone's hearts were cold, no wonder His Royal Highness often said that Zhao Yougong was a mad dog, and now that he looks at it, it is really true. Did Zhao Yougong dare to risk the world's condemnation and do something to slaughter Yinzhou City? Few people doubted that hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers were elite in Xijing, and he cut them without frowning. Can the people of Yinzhou be more terrible than the hundreds of thousands of Liao soldiers?
Butcher, this is a fucking demon king. This man is terrible, if he doesn't move, he will change the situation, and it will be impossible to guard against it. Now that the problem has been placed in front of His Royal Highness and the generals in the army, in the face of Zhao Yougong's threat, do they want to continue to attack? As long as they lay down the eastern mountain pass of Hengshan, with Zhao Yougong's character, they will definitely slaughter Yinzhou by bloody means, and then they can only get a Yinzhou full of corpses and a mess. If it is even more excessive, Zhao Yougong will burn most of Yinzhou to the ground with a fire, in short, what I can't get, others can't think of it, it seems that Zhao Yougong has always been such a person.
Moreover, the most worrying thing is that when the soldiers of Great Xia know the truth that the generals have disregarded hundreds of thousands of people and 7,000 prisoners because of Yinzhou, what will happen to them? That will be a morale drop to the bottom, the people's morale will be lost, and even if you get Yinzhou, it will no longer be as stable as before. The soldiers and the people of Daxia have very simple ideas, you just name thousands of reasons, and they can't accept that they disregard the lives of hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians because of Yinzhou. Generals in the army, anyone with a little military common sense, knows the importance of Yinzhou, as long as Yinzhou can be recaptured, not to mention hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians, it is worth it even if the southeast of the Great Xia Kingdom becomes ten rooms and nine emptiness, but can this kind of thing be said? Sue those soldiers, the lives of all the soldiers and civilians in Yinzhou are not as important as Yinzhou?
Hehe, if this is said, the result will be: people's hearts are scattered, and the team is not easy to lead.
Li Bingzuo hadn't woken up yet, and there were already many rumors in the camp at the foot of Hengshan Mountain, and listening to those rumors, many Western Xia soldiers were at a loss, and even a little disheartened. I don't know who said that hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Yinzhou are not as important as a Yinzhou city, this sentence spread rapidly, and people were panicked.
Many Western Xia generals know very well who is spreading rumors, but they have no way at all, now all the soldiers have known the truth, they are all waiting for the military order of the old highness, but the old highness is still in a coma.
At the beginning of the last day, Li Bingzuo finally woke up, and the first moment he opened his eyes, he looked at the top of the big tent with colorless eyes, is he really old, why did he have a sense of powerlessness in the face of that young Han man? In fact, there is no need to think too much, Li Bingzuo knows how to choose, and now there is only one way in front of him, that is, to withdraw his troops. Although relying on his prestige, as long as he gives an order, he can still lead the army to attack the Hengshan Mountain Pass, but so what? Zhao Yougong will definitely withdraw in a hurry, the dog jumps under the wall, and the slaughter of Yinzhou is inevitable, at that time, the Great Xia Kingdom got Yinzhou, but what was lost was the hearts of the people in the southeast. Sometimes, the people's hearts are useless, such as Zhao Yougong, he can not care about the people's hearts at all, because he is a conqueror and has never thought of occupying Yinzhou City all the time, so he dares to do anything, but he Li Bingzuo can't, he thinks not only about Yinzhou, but also about the people's hearts of the people of Daxia Kingdom. The Great Xia Kingdom has a total population of more than 3 million, and there are more than 1.6 million people concentrated in the southeast, most of these people are descendants of the Han family. Abandoning Yinzhou, although losing the strategic location, may maintain the stability of the southeast, and if Yinzhou is captured, it will be the century-old foundation of the southeast that will be lost.
It's so ruthless, Zhao Yougong is really vicious, and he can see the weakness of the Great Xia Kingdom at a glance. Compared with the Liao State and the Great Song Dynasty, the foundation of the Great Xia Kingdom is too thin, and the Great Song Dynasty can be defeated again and again. Abandon the city and abandon the land. Just before. The Great Song Dynasty lost Xiongzhou and Mozhou in the north, but it was not painful for the Song Dynasty, but the Great Xia Kingdom only lost a silver state, and there was already a feeling of crisis. The Great Xia Kingdom can lose a city, but the southeast can't be chaotic, when the ancestors laid this foundation, they worked hard and hard, how could they be abandoned because of anger?
Li Bingzuo has a deep unwillingness. If Zhao Yougong stood in front of him, he would definitely pounce and swallow this Han man. Before the time came, Li Bingzuo convened the generals to discuss the matter and issued an order to withdraw the troops, and at the same time, the Yuan Xiangqing army no longer returned to Lingzhou to the west, but went to Xiazhou with Helian Tieshu. Now that Yinzhou has fallen, the entire southeast region has been exposed to the iron hooves of the Dingguo army, and Li Bingzuo has to concentrate the forces of the entire Great Xia Kingdom in the southeast Xia Prefecture and Shizhou.
When the military order to withdraw the troops was issued, many Western Xia soldiers knelt on the ground and shouted the benevolence and righteousness of His Royal Highness King Xin. It was originally for the Great Xia Kingdom to go to the soup and fire, and he did not hesitate to do so.
Meanwhile. Li Bingzuo also issued a military order to transfer the general of Urad to lead 10,000 Chaoge banner soldiers to garrison the southern Mida Cave. Mida Cave is located in the north of Yinzhou City, seventy miles northeast of Shizhou City, under the jurisdiction of the Left Wing Shenyong Military Division. Before Yinzhou was placed in the hands of Xiong Guangbi, the army was gathered, there was Yinzhou, and even Shizhou City had few garrisons, let alone Mida Cave? But now the situation is different, the northwest fortress Yinzhou City has become the bridgehead of the Dingguo Army, and the location of the Mida Cave has become particularly important, as long as the Mida Cave is as stable as Mount Tai, it will block the way for the Dingguo Army to go north. Adjusting the sea of thorns and the Chaoge banner soldiers to the south of Mida Cave, will inevitably cause the defense of the northeast to be empty, but this is also a helpless move, compared to the northeast departments, the stability of the southeast is much more important, no matter how many troops are used, as long as the Dingguo army can be strangled out of Yinzhou to the north or west, then the loss of Yinzhou can be minimized.
On the sixth day of the ninth month of the third year of Xuanhe, nearly 50,000 Western Xia soldiers and horses evacuated from the Hengshan area in an orderly manner, and so far, a great war was eliminated invisibly. The Western Xia people withdrew, but Zhao Yougong was mixed, happy that he had taken and kept this strategic place, and worried that there was a Li Bingzuo in Western Xia. Li Bingzuo is really too calm, in the face of the fall of Yinzhou, plus a satirical letter, he can still make the most reasonable judgment. Xixia has this rock, and it will not be easy to get cheap in the future.
Sure enough, the day after Li Bingzuo's army withdrew from Hengshan, that is, on the seventh day of the first month, he got the news that General Urad was stationed in the Left Chamber. Hearing this news, Zhao Yougong couldn't laugh at all, Li Bingzuo was really ruthless, in order to hold the northern artery of Yinzhou, he actually transferred Ma Thorn Sea to Mida Cave, more than 10,000 Chaoge Banner soldiers, plus thousands of soldiers of the Divine Warrior Army in the nearby Zuo Wing, a single Mida Cave military town can cause huge pressure on Yinzhou.
Sighing, he smiled helplessly, there are still too few soldiers and horses under his command, if he can station 50,000 elite soldiers in Yinzhou, he will have enough confidence to break the iron cable defense line composed of Xiazhou, Shizhou and Mida Cave. But it's time to be satisfied, it's already a great miracle to be able to catch Yinzhou this time.
Sitting in the room, pondering whether to transfer Zhang Yi to Yinzhou City, Yang Zaixing had already stepped in, "Your Highness, Xiao Shuai has news from that, yesterday, my army has entered Chang'an, Pan Renmei and Chao Kai took the initiative to retreat, and they have now returned to Fengxiang Mansion!" ”
"Well, Pan Renmei and Chao Kai are smart, send a letter to Xiao Shuai, just don't send back the soldiers and horses in hand, anyway, they will be their own people in the future!" As he spoke, a sneer crossed the corner of Zhao Yougong's mouth, He Zuolin and Yuan Shiying, the two two-faced guys, had already given them a chance before, but unfortunately they didn't cherish it, and they played an ambiguous game with him Zhao at a critical moment. Since there are so many clever people, let's go home and become a rich man.
In fact, Yang Zaixing has long looked down on He Zuolin and others, if His Royal Highness really keeps these two people into the Dingguo Army system, it will be really unwise. Arching his hand, Yang Zaixing smiled slightly, "Your Highness, rest assured, the last general will arrange this." ”
On the eighth day of September in the third year of Xuanhe, an urgent report arrived in the ancient capital of Chang'an, and now the Jingzhao Mansion has become Xiao Zhiyun's marshal mansion, as for the original Jingzhao Mansion Yin Moqinghe, he did not dare to go out at home on the grounds that he was ill. In fact, Mo Qinghe already knows very well that he, the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, has already done it, and whether he can save a life depends on the mood of His Royal Highness King Qin. Mo Qinghe regrets it now, how could he have believed the words of the imperial court in the first place, if he didn't open the city gate and let Pan Renmei enter the city, if he didn't force the Dingguo army to withdraw from Lingtai Mountain, he Mo Qinghe might still lose his position as the governor of the palace, at least he could be left with an official and a half-post, and he would not have to worry about his life. Pan Renmei is good, as soon as he saw that he couldn't beat the Dingguo Army, he patted his ass and left, but he Mo Qinghe couldn't run if he wanted to.
Jingzhao Mansion Office, Xiao Zhiyun looked at the urgent report in her hand, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and a pair of narrow phoenix eyes were full of smiles. Gao Chong, Xiao Yue, Mu Ali and others sat on both sides, and after a while, Gao Chong asked, "Xiao Shuai, what did His Highness say?" (To be continued......)
