Chapter 631: Da Song is furious
There are many people who may not usually care much, but when he really leaves, he can shake countless people...... Obviously, Wang Deyong is such a person......
The old general is eighty-one years old this year, and throughout the ages, at such an advanced age, he commanded the army and commanded the powerful side, perhaps only Lian Po can compare.
Frankly speaking, Wang Deyong entered the army at the age of seventeen, and in the long years, he did not have many great achievements. If just because of this, you think that the old general has a false reputation and has no ability, then it is a big mistake.
Wang Deyong's father is the general Wang Chao, Zhao Er's most trusted confidant. Wang Deyong's first expedition with the army was to fight with Li Jiqian of Western Xia, and Li Jiqian was Li Yuanhao's grandfather!
Wang Deyong showed amazing bravery in the first battle, he led 5,000 troops, attacked Li Jiqian's men and horses several times, quite successful, and then the army retreated, he was responsible for breaking the rear, protecting 50,000 horses and horses from danger safely.
Since then, Wang Deyong's reputation has risen and he has risen steadily.
Whether it is the northwest or Hebei, Wang Deyong is like a firefighter, constantly being transferred everywhere to deal with various crises.
After decades of experience, after Zhao Zhen became a pro-government, Wang Deyong became a privy deputy envoy.
Born as a martial artist and entered the Privy Council, Di Qing is not the first person, and Wang Deyong is much earlier than him! He has become a thorn in the side of civilian officials, constantly attacked, and repeatedly demoted, for these, the old general seems indifferent.
The only thing that made him angry was Li Yuanhao's rebellion.
When Li Yuanhao openly proclaimed himself emperor and broke with the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Deyong was angry, and he wrote a letter asking for an order to go to the northwest to fight Li Yuanhao to the death.
The old man is not even afraid of his grandfather, let alone a grandson!
Wang De was full of enthusiasm and enthusiasm...... It's just a pity that his request was denied.
The reason is not complicated, with Wang Deyong's qualifications and prestige, if he goes to the northwest and presides over military affairs, how can several ministers in the northwest be compared with him.
The overall situation in the northwest will inevitably fall into the hands of Wang Deyong, and the civil officials are unwilling to let Wang Deyong go.
The result is also obvious, without the command of a respected general, even if there is a group of warriors who are not afraid of death, the northwest is still defeated miserably.
Mikawaguchi, good water river...... Tens of thousands of good men in the Great Song Dynasty are buried...... Faced with one bad news after another, in the face of uncontrollable defeats, Wang Deyong went crazy, an old general in his old age went crazy, he wanted to serve the country, but the country didn't need it!
Heyang Army, Xiangzhou, Lanzhou, Zhengzhou...... Wang Deyong is like Fan Zhongyan, constantly being transferred around, and his sharpness and ambition are constantly wearing......
Wang Deyong couldn't hold on for a while, and the old general wanted to ask Zhishi to go home...... And at this time, a turning point appeared, the Hebei War, and the imperial court needed real famous generals to sit in charge.
The old general in the ancient years, finally ushered in the opportunity to show his strength, he presided over the whole army through the military, to carry the Liao national soldiers, a few years later, the old general personally trained his subordinates, but also became the main force to recover Youzhou.
The land of Yanyun, the ancestral homeland, has finally returned to the Great Song Dynasty!
Wang Deyong is like an old tree that has almost died, rejuvenated, he dispatches people and horses, transports grain and grass, strategizes, and does his best.
During those days, Wang Deyong slept less than two hours a day, working hard with a group of young men younger than his grandson, never complaining about hardship or tiredness.
After recovering Youzhou, the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty moved north, and the original men and horses of Hebei had to be removed.
An army of hundreds of thousands, as the first main force of the Great Song Dynasty in the past, how could it be easily cut off, how many people opposed it, and how much pressure did it have?
Wang Deyong, as a pacification envoy on the east-west road of Hebei, shouldered his responsibilities, he ran all over the army, and was unmoved in the face of both soft and hard measures by his old subordinates in the past...... Under the strong leadership of the old general, the entire defense line was finally adjusted, and the Great Song Dynasty consolidated its control over Youzhou.
In the whole battle situation, although Wang Deyong did not come to the front line in person, and did not fight with the Khitan army with real swords and guns, no one can ignore the credit of the old general.
After settling Hebei, the old general was transferred to the northwest battlefield.
Faced the old enemy Xixia!
The eighty-year-old man is still in good spirits and works tirelessly.
Wang Ningan was very distressed by the old general, he hoped that Wang Deyong could return to Beijing to take over as a privy envoy, but the old general refused, he told Wang Ningan that the Western Xia Rebellion had lasted for decades, and his first battle was fought with Li Jiqian.
If you can't destroy Western Xia, you won't be able to close your eyes even if you die!
When the Great Song Dynasty recovered the Qing Tang Dynasty and completed the encirclement against the Western Xia, the overall situation of the entire northwest quickly tilted towards the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Deyong was ecstatic, he actively prepared, waiting for the day when the army would go out to sweep away the Western Xia...... It's just that the old general didn't wait after all.
Wang Ningan blamed himself incomparably, in fact, when he was reorganizing the administration of officials and restoring the functions of the six ministries, Wang Ningan hoped to let the old general serve as the secretary of the military department.
With Wang Deyong's prestige and Di Qing, the two of them carried the banner of the whole army together.
It's just that Wang Ningan didn't find the right manpower to preside over the overall situation in the northwest, and then faced the counterattack of hundreds of officials, as well as the matter of Enke, it became a mess, Wang Ningan ignored the affairs of the northwest, thinking that he would wait for the matter to end, and then find a way to transfer back to the old general...... As a result, a momentary negligence caused irreparable regrets!
General Wang is gone!
The old man who was kind and diligent and had fought all his life for the Great Song Dynasty was gone...... Wang Ningan felt that his heart was hollowed out, and he immediately entered the palace to meet Zhao Zhen.
"Your Majesty's ......" Wang Ning'an's voice trembled, tears flowed for a long time, "Wang, General Wang was ambushed...... He was martyred! ”
"What?"
Zhao Zhen was even more surprised, from the time he was in power, he knew that Wang De used the name, for decades, the old general ran east and west, for the Great Song Dynasty to shelter from the wind and rain, and was the most loyal guard...... How could he have died?
"Wang Qing, what's going on? In whose hands did General Wang die, and how did he die? Zhao Zhen asked angrily in horror.
"Your Majesty, when General Wang was patrolling the border, he encountered an ambush by the Western Xia Iron Harrier, according to the news sent by the soldiers, the old general was besieged in a valley, the men and horses suffered heavy losses, and he was seriously injured, and his life was in danger, he escaped to deliver the letter, as for the old general Wang, I am afraid that it is more than lucky."
When Zhao Zhen heard this, he immediately shouted: "No, the old general is a great Song Zhushi, he will be fine, he will definitely be able to turn evil into good fortune, he will definitely be able to!" ”
Zhao Zhen seemed to be crazy, and said sharply: "Jingping, you go to the northwest immediately and find out to me how the old general is alive and dead, and who leaked the news, why was the old general ambushed by the Western Xia thieves...... Check, you must find out, who dares to break my Great Wall, I want his life!! ”
Zhao Zhen was furious, Wang Deyong is not only a famous general with outstanding achievements, but also a friend of Zhao Zhen, who has worked hard for decades, and when he reaches his age, he really doesn't care about fame and fortune, the old general only thinks about sweeping away Western Xia, restoring Yunzhou, and creating a prosperous era of the Great Song Dynasty, and he can smile at Jiuquan.
In fact, in Zhao Zhen's heart, there is still a strong sense of guilt, that's right, it is the guilt of Wang Deyong!
If Zhao Zhen could resist the pressure of civil officials thirty years ago, reuse the old generals without hesitation, maybe the Great Song Dynasty would not be what it is today.
More than ten years ago, if Wang Deyong could have been sent to preside over the overall situation in the northwest, perhaps there would not have been a series of fiascos...... I have failed the old general, but the old general has not failed me!
He did his best for the Great Song Dynasty, if I can't avenge the old general, I am not worthy of being the son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty!
Zhao Zhen also knew in his heart that Wang Deyong was most likely martyred, but he didn't see the corpse for a moment, so he had a trace of luck, maybe the old general could get out of danger safely, maybe he wouldn't die......
"Wang Qing, I appointed you as the deputy envoy of the privy council, and the Shaanxi Zhulu Jingluo pacification envoy will immediately go to Qinzhou to take office."
"Yes!"
As soon as Wang Ningan came out of the palace, he met Wen Yanbo head-on.
"I heard something happened in the Northwest?"
Wang Ning'an's face was grim and nodded, "The old general Wang Deyong encountered an ambush and may have been martyred." ”
"Damn it!"
Wen Yanbo swung his fist hard and scolded angrily: "What's the matter, did someone leak their whereabouts, otherwise how could they be attacked?" ”
Wang Ning'an's brain had calmed down at the moment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It should be an internal ghost, it is said that it was the iron harrier of Western Xia who ambushed the old general!" ”
"Bastard!"
Wen Yanbo is even more hideous, the Iron Harrier is the treasure of Western Xia, and he will not take it out easily, if he is not completely sure, he will not let the Iron Harrier move.
"Jingping, you just have to deal with it, if there is anything, the old man will support you! It is necessary to employ people, soldiers, and food, even if it is a duel with Western Xia, it will not hesitate! My Da Song is not the same as before! ”
"That's right!"
At this time, the privy envoy Di Qing, the military department Shang Shu Bao Zheng, and the governor Wang Anshi, and several important ministers also rushed to hear the news. Especially Di Qing, his beard is full of hair and his pupils are congested.
Wang Deyong is not only his senior, but also his old chief, I heard that Wang Deyong had an accident, Di Qing was more anxious than anyone else!
"Erlang, I also want to ask for a decree, let's go to the northwest together to avenge the old general!"
Wang Ningan stopped Di Qing, "Don't worry, I'll find out if the old general is dead or alive, and who did it...... When I find out, it's not too late for us to send troops to fight again! ”
Di Qing held back his anger, "No matter what, to avenge the old general, you must count me in!" Even if Di Hanchen is bleeding dry, he will not give up! ”
……
Wang Ningan said goodbye to everyone and left Xijing in a hurry...... Almost at the same time, the news of Wang Deyong's death in battle also spread, and the Beihai County Mansion also got the news.
Just now they were still celebrating in the Jinshi, and in a blink of an eye, the father and son turned pale and very unsightly.
Zhao Yunbi clenched his fists, "Alas, General Wang is a great loyal minister, he has worked hard all his life for the Zhao family, he is more than eighty, and he died on the battlefield, it is too miserable!" ”
Zhao Zongjing, Zhao Zongjing, and several brothers all put down their chopsticks and bowed their heads silently, and suddenly, Zhao Zongjing raised his head.
"Dad, the child wants to join the army, please make it happen to Dad!" Zhao Zongyi looked extremely dignified, and he continued: "The country belongs to the Zhao family, and as a descendant of the Zhao family, you can't fall behind others!" ”
