Chapter 612: The Situation Is Strange
In the seventh year of Song Jianwu, Jin Cilin Prefecture, Fuzhou Prefecture, and the area west of the Yellow River of the Jinning Army were given to Western Xia. &&&Latest chapter Baidu search: Biqu Pavilion&&About the three places of Shenmu County, Fugu County, and Jia County in Shaanxi Province in later generations. At this point, the eastern part of the Great Song Dynasty Shaanxi Zhulu no longer borders the Jin occupation area. After hearing the news, all the officials believed that the Jin people were paying such a large price to win over, and it was very likely that they were preparing for war, and they needed party members to contain the Western Army!
After the party members obtained the three prefectures of Lin, Fu, and Feng, and the first army of Jinning, they were silent and did not send envoys to Shaanxi to explain any problems. There are many places on the border, and there are still businessmen. This made the civil and military officials in Shaanxi very dissatisfied, and the party members behaved like they wanted to eat fish and avoid fish. What is the picture of our opening? Although the border trade has developed rapidly, the economic results it has achieved are almost insignificant for Sichuan and Shaanxi, and the annual tax contribution is only hundreds of thousands.
We are opening the field, and we are more fighting for Western Xia. It's not to win its support, it's to fight for it and not to help the Jurchens. Now that Lord Xia is receiving Linfu Road under our noses, he doesn't even say hello, does Li Renxiao take us seriously? Wu Jue suggested to Xu Wei that all the venues be closed in response.
Just when Xu Wei was thinking about it, the Xia lord sent an envoy to Qinzhou to explain to Xu Wei that the Jurchen land was given to keep the previous promise, and nothing else was involved, so please not be suspicious of Shaanxi.
Such a "sincere" move by the Xia lord largely eliminated the anger of the Shaanxi officials, and Xu Wei replied to the Western Xia envoy, saying that he "understood" this and made several requests. First of all, Xia Vest Lin Mansion must strictly restrain the Qiang in the place, and no more disturbance will happen. Secondly, the three prefectures of Dun, Fu and Feng used to be the territory of the Wang family, the Zhe family, and the Yang family, and these three families were loyal to the Song court, actively resisted Liao and Xia, and could be said to have a feud with the party members. After the Western Xia got here, they could not make inappropriate moves to vent their anger, which mainly referred to the destruction of the tomb, and the Xia envoy agreed in person.
After the Xia envoy left, Xu Wei gathered the civil and military forces to discuss, and Li Renxiao sent an envoy south, of course, to dispel the doubts of Shaanxi. However, his statement of "nothing else" may not be tenable. With the character of the Jurchens, they will never give land for no reason, there must be something wrong with this. Thinking of the previous actions of the Jin army on the border of northern Shaanxi, we have reason to believe that military action is brewing within the Jin country.
In order to be prepared, Xu Wei ordered Yongxing Shuai Yang Yan to ensure the defense of the Yellow River, and ordered Yan Shuai Xu Hong to pay close attention to the movements of Western Xia.
The Purple Gold Tiger actually knew that even if it really wanted to fight, it would be impossible for the Jin Army to attack Shaanxi. And it is even more impossible for Western Xia to rashly invade the Song realm. The reason why he made such a gesture was just to prove to others that the Western Army itself was facing the threat of war. **Biqu Pavilion is the fastest update**
However, for the war that may break out, Xu Wei is not without any strength. Subsequently, he went to Mianzhou, discussed with Wang Shu and others, and finally decided to jointly play a warning to the imperial court.
The two Xuanfu envoys from Sichuan and Shaanxi arrived in Hangzhou in February, and Wang and Xu said in the manuscript that the Jurchens had recently interacted frequently with the party, with the Jin State giving Lin, Fu, and Feng three prefectures, and the Jinning army giving Xia, which may have been an attempt to win over the Western Xia and make them sell their lives. There is reason to believe that the Jin State is preparing a military operation, and the threat of war has appeared, so please be vigilant in the imperial court.
Wang Xu's recital caused an uproar in the Xing Dynasty, and Zhao Chen attached great importance to it, and the main officials of the two prefectures of the Zhao East and West held intensive consultations and came up with countermeasures. Zhu Shengfei was a little unimpressed by Wang Shu and Xu Wei's warnings, believing that Song Jin had just concluded the "Jianwu Peace Conference", and it was drafted under the condition that the Jin army was defeated, and it was unlikely that the other party would take the initiative to tear up the peace agreement so quickly. After Wanyan Zongpan of the Lord and the Lord was killed, the Jin State also specially sent an envoy to appease and ensure that the situation of Song and Jin's truce and war would remain unchanged.
But the prime minister's remarks were quickly suppressed by the overwhelming skepticism of the ministers. Shangshu's right servant shè, with Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi Zhao Ding, thinks that Wang Xu and Xu have been in the west for a long time, and especially Xu Wei, is very aware of the situation, since he has taken the form of warning with Wang Shu, it has already explained the seriousness of the problem.
As soon as the voice fell, the governor Xu Liang, the privy envoy Xu Han and other ministers seconded the proposal. They all believe that they should prepare early to prevent accidents. In the end, the two governments formed a resolution and reported to the emperor, recommending that they enter a state of imminent war.
This played into Zhao Chen's arms, because he was now looking forward to a war.
Previously, he insisted on recommending the bank's policies of reducing redundant personnel, cutting salaries, and restricting the children of officials from making up for their posts, which met with great resistance, and the reduction of officials' salaries was no longer suspended. However, the backlash and controversy caused by this incident did not stop, especially the ministers who were running in Deoksugung Palace attacked the "new policy", demanded "the law of the ancestors", and criticized the emperor for appointing Zhao Ding and Xu Liang.
This made Zhao Chen both shocked and angry, believing that the ministers were instructed by the Emperor Taishang to plot to overthrow him. He refused to go to the palace to visit Zhao Huan, if he was really helpless by the ministers, he hid his blade and went there, said a few simple greetings, and never stayed to eat, nor would he drink a sip of tea in Deoksugung Palace, in case someone was poisoned.
When Wang Shu and Xu Wei's recitals arrived in the Xing Dynasty, he was very excited. **Biquge update fastest** If this war really starts, if this war can be won by the Song army, it will greatly consolidate his position, and ZTE is just around the corner! No one in the court will dare to oppose him anymore, and Deoksugung Palace can only be gradually marginalized!
Therefore, when the results of the deliberations of the ministers were presented, he immediately issued an edict ordering the armies of Huaixi, Jinghu, and Jiangxi to take strict precautions, and to assist the prime minister with Yao Gu, a veteran of the Western Army, and the imperial camp envoy, to take measures for war affairs. He even started the idea of "driving the expedition in person" again, and later gave up because of Zhu Shengfei's dissuasion, what if the official family went to the front line and the backyard caught fire?
At the same time as the south was preparing for war, Wanyan Zongbi was dispatching troops in the north. He dispatched 30,000 elite soldiers from the Western Front battlefield that was originally aimed at Yelu Dashi, and was on his way to Yanyun. From the old Jurchen land and Yanyun locally, 40,000 Jurchen Bohai main forces were assembled, and 50,000 Khitan Army, Liaodong Han Army, and Yanyun Army were concurrently. By the end of February, 120,000 riders had been assembled. After that, he sent capable generals into Hebei and requisitioned a large number of Han troops as logistics support troops.
This time, Wushu yù was mainly based on the Jurchen Bohai Sea, supplemented by the Khitan Han'er, and won the Xianghan in one fell swoop, reversing the previous decline. By March, everything was ready, but he still couldn't rest assured that he would not be able to leave the Western Army. Before setting off for the south, he again ordered the party members to show off the border in order to contain them.
Li Renxiao accepted the first army of the three states of the Jinren, so naturally it is impossible not to express it. In March, he ordered the Jianing Military Division, which was close to Yan'an, Shaanxi, to send troops to patrol the border across the Baiyu Pass. He also ordered the Divine Brave Army Division of the Left Wing, which was close to Linfu Road, to send troops to enter Linfu Road in the name of garrisoning. In addition, in the name of "suppressing bandits", the Tubo tribes in Liangzhou increased their troops on the border.
However, at the same time as the troop transfer, Li Renxiao asked the Privy Council of Xia State to strictly order all armies not to cross the border without authorization, and not to provoke and disturb them. Because in this matter, it is impossible for him to send people to communicate with Xu Wei, so he wants the army to refrain as much as possible, and never cause friction, so that the western army has a "miscalculation".
These three increases, the Western Xia capital is "famous", and patrolling the border is an irregular routine of the army, which can be explained; The new harvest of Linfu Road originally required the army to be stationed, which was justified; In the border area with Song Xihe Road, there were originally many rebels and bandits, although Li Shifu exterminated the "Qingmian Yaksha", but there were still many on the border, so that Liangzhou Tubo increased troops to help suppress, which is logical.
But it is these "normal" actions that have created an illusion, that is, from east to west, the swords and swords on the border of Song and Xia, and the armor is sonorous!
This not only shocked Xu Hong and Yao Pingzhong, but even alarmed Xu Wei and even the Wang Shu of Mianzhou. Some people in the Shaanxi Preparation Division once thought that the Jin Army was preparing to attack Shaanxi? Now the party members are fighting for them? After careful consideration and intelligence analysis, Xu Wei believed that this was a bluff. But he didn't explain it publicly, and still followed the routine and ordered all sides of the border to be on guard.
At the end of March, after Yan Zongbi was ready, he led a large army from Yanyun to the south of the Yangtze River and entered Hebei, accompanied by 100,000 Han troops to escort grain and grass. In April, Zong Bi led the fine horse to cross the Yellow River and enter Tokyo. Here, he collected a lot of information about Xianghan. Since the last time the Jin army attacked Xianghan, He Guan, the Xuanfu envoy of Jinghu in the Great Song Dynasty, has been expanding its armaments. The Zhang brothers have been unarmed, and Xiangyang City is now guarded by Han Shizhong, the general of the Jinghu Xuanfu Division, and Yue Fei, another brave general with the same name, is stationed in Suiying Erzhou, echoing it.
For Han Shizhong, Zong Bi has a vague impression, but Yue Pengju, he can't forget it. That's it, kill his son-in-law!
Han Yue has brought tens of thousands of armor in the Xianghan area, and in the past two years, he has been diligent in repairing war preparations and never slacking off. This attack on Xianghan may be more difficult than the last time! Fortunately, Zong Bi is mentally prepared, and the army he brought this time is very different from the last time! It is no longer a rabble Han signing army, but the Jurchen Bohai Navy that once inflicted a devastating blow on the Song army!
In order to calmly seize Xiangyang, it is first necessary to take the Guanghua Army, Suizhou, and then Yingzhou, clear the periphery of Xiangyang, and cut off the Han River to block the incoming reinforcements. This also means that the Jin army must first defeat Yue Fei before they can win Han Shizhong. At the same time, it is also necessary to guard against reinforcements from Jiangxi.
When he was in Yanyun, Wushu had already drawn up a strategy. In order to contain the Zhejia army, prevent it from reinforcing it, or affect its reinforcement, the Jin army had to divide its troops all the way and attack Huaixi, which had just been returned to the Southern Dynasty. Moreover, for the sake of prudence, the Luoyang side could not fail to take precautions, in case the situation was urgent and the Western army came out of the Tiger Prison, it might repeat the old things of the last time. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the defense of Zhengzhou and make Xu Wei sit in the middle of the pass. The remaining main force marched into Xianghan.
In April, most of the Jin army arrived at the front line in Tokyo, and the army was overwhelmed, and war was about to break out. But at this time, the Song army on the opposite side did not panic in the slightest, because before this, they had already entered the combat state. Han Chenzhong, the general of Xiangyang, received the troops and materials supplemented by He Guan, and He Guan assigned a part of the Changjie army of their descendants, 4,000 people, to Yue Fei's control. And let his son He Ji lead 30,000 elite soldiers to the front line, ready to respond at any time.
As for the Zhe family, because of the return of Huaixi and the establishment of the Huaixi Army, after the imperial court issued an edict to prepare for war, Zhe Yanwen and Zhe Yanye had already led the army across the Yangtze River and into the territory of Huaixi. With Liu Guangguo, Liu Guangyuan, Li Xianzhong and other generals, there are other plans.
In short, at Zhao Chen's insistence, this time the Song army did not simply want to defend.
However, what is unexpected is that the Xianghan region has not yet started a war, and Shaanxi has started to fight first...... On this day, Xu Wei did not go to the Yamen because his second daughter Xu Yan was sick. The Purple Tiger was a powerful man on the battlefield, but he was a loving father at home, and when his two daughters were young, he often frolicked with them, and when they grew up, he taught martial arts with his own hands, and invited learned people to teach Xixi. I don't want to say that I want to train my daughter into some amazing character, but I just learn literature and martial arts, one can increase my knowledge, and the other can strengthen my body.
The second daughter, Xu Yan, was born before term and has been in poor health. But this time, there was no warning at all, and he suddenly shouted abdominal pain last night, and he was rolling in pain on the chuáng at a young age, so anxious that Zhang Jiujiu was at a loss, and Xu Wei was also anxious. Invited all the famous doctors in Qinzhou City, some people said that it was colic, so he was bloodletting treatment, supplemented by decoction, but it was useless, and he was driven out of the house by Xu Wei. Some people said that it was intestinal carbuncle, which was called "appendicitis" in later generations, so they came to acupuncture, but it was still useless, and Xu Wei was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone.
"Official, my daughter hurts so badly, and she hasn't stopped since last night, how can she be born if she goes on like this?" Zhang Jiujiu is a strong woman, but she also cries at this time.
Xu Wei sat in the room, looking up at his daughter who had no strength to roll on Chuáng, his heart was like a knife. What the hell is this? Why does it hurt all the time, and I don't see the symptoms lessen! Her daughter is so young, where can she stand it?
"Don't worry, I heard that there is a famous doctor living in the mountains fifteen miles outside the city, I have already sent someone to invite him, and he will be there later." No matter how anxious Xu Wei was, he couldn't be measured, and comforted his wife softly.
"Sister, I ......have abdominal pain," Xu Yan, who was lying on the chuáng, sweating her hair, said to her sister Xu Yan, who was lying on the chuáng and taking care of her.
"Sister, don't be afraid, my father has already gone to ask for a doctor, saying that he is a famous doctor, and he will definitely be able to cure you." Xu Yan is only ** years old, but she speaks like an adult.
Xu Wei listened, got up and sat beside Chuáng, watching his daughter curl up in a ball, her little face pale, this hand holding a male soldier, ào fucking it! I said, why didn't I learn well before? Why don't I study medicine instead of gambling?
At this time, footsteps sounded at the door, Zhang Jiu turned his head to look, only to see the shì female Fangxiu probing her brain, and she didn't dare to come in, Zhu Jilan stood behind her, lowered her head, raised her eyes, and looked into the house.
