Volume 7 Yan Yun Rush Chapter 628 [Brother-in-law]
Therefore, now the castle tactics of the Great Song Dynasty have actually been played very slippery, but they are more than successful in terms of strategy, but not enough to be aggressive. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
To put it simply, for the time being, the castle strongholds of the Great Song Dynasty adopted a linear defense strategy, and the regional defense strategy was adopted between the cities, forts and villages, and the strategy of encroachment was adopted step by step. There is no doubt that the position can be very stable, but there are also many drawbacks, one is slow to react, and the other is serious redundancy, and once the Tanguts find a gap to break into, they will also fall into a situation of passive defense and exhaustion.
And now the new tactics proposed by Huang Jie seem to be very simple and rude, using the tactics of breaking in a straight line, and repairing the castle all the way to the front of Xingqing Mansion.
Not to mention, if this kind of tactic had been proposed a few years earlier, I am afraid that it would be regarded as a big joke, and if you want to build a castle in the hinterland of the Western Xia, there is no tens of thousands of troops to defend and counterattack, and the Xixia people can do bad things just by sending some light cavalry to harass them every day, but now that there is a new army of charioteers, the situation is naturally different.
Huang Jie's tactics are very simple, the first step is to quickly send charioteers to occupy Rouwolf Mountain, the basic equipment of 50,000 charioteers is 500 chariots and 1,200 to 1,500 baggage vehicles, if the highest configuration, chariots and baggage vehicles 2,000 to calculate, at least the next car city with a radius of more than four miles can be laid.
According to Huang Jie's calculations, the entry time of 2,000 chariots may take three or seven days, but the time to deploy the formation is not too much. During this period, it would be best if Li Qianshun came to attack, and if he didn't come, he would have cheapened the Song army, and at that time, under the protection of Checheng, he would build an earthen city with a radius of one mile inside Checheng.
Every time a city is built, the car city will move forward thirty miles and deploy again, and advance here. If you build an earthen castle at a rate from the 10th to the 15th, it will take you at most a year to reach Xingqing Mansion with 20 castles from the bottom of the castle.
For a while, the "new idea" proposed by Huang Jie really aroused everyone's interest, because his idea was much more feasible than temporarily training hundreds of thousands of soldiers and then running around to mix in the battle of Liaojin. Because there are nearly 300,000 regular soldiers available in the northwest, and there are still 500,000 civilian servants and Qingding who can be allocated to build cities, the most critical point in the whole plan is not the right time and place, but as long as there is money.
Even, the division also calculated, even if the Song army really used 50,000 chariot soldiers to occupy Rouwolf Mountain, Li Qianshun really led the army to attack under his anger, then he could send up to 100,000 troops, and in order to raise these 100,000 troops, he needed at least half a year to raise grain, grass and all kinds of baggage, after all, not long after the new defeat of Western Xia, a guy called the Great Song Dynasty ate almost 40,000 elites.
Therefore, after this, the ministers also discussed the new strategy proposed by Huang Jie, and they discussed it until it was close to the unitary, and the Zhao Guanjia really didn't want to leave the ministers for dinner, so they broke up.
Of course, it is impossible to make a decision on the matter of attacking Xia, but Zhao Guanjia still nodded and asked the Privy Council to draw up a charter for today's discussion, and then make plans.
However, at the time of the banquet, although the Zhao official family did not make any special expressions to Huang Jie, when Huang Jie was about to leave the palace, a little Huangmen sent him to Yanfu Palace to meet him on the orders of Empress Zheng.
Yanfu Palace is also a harem, and under normal circumstances, it is extremely difficult for foreign ministers to be summoned to enter, but Huang Jie, as the son-in-law of the Zhao family, naturally still has this qualification. It's just that after going, he was led into the imperial garden, but he also saw Empress Zheng as the leader, leading Zhao Fujin and a few little princes, and a large group of imperial aunts and uncles, princesses and concubines who had already left the pavilion were drinking and feasting in the imperial garden.
Huang Jie came up to see him, and his heart couldn't help but be happy, why did the horses of the Zhao family choose to hold a horse club today, and they were busy with everyone to make a family ceremony, and when they were about to retreat to find a vacant place to sit, they heard Queen Zheng smile and said: "You husband and wife don't sit together, but what should you do?" ”
So Huang Jie could only go to Zhao Fujin and sit down, and when he sat down, he also heard an imperial aunt calling: "Maode is here, but you want to take Fu'er back home?" ”
Huang Jie glanced at the imperial aunt and saw that she was in her early forties, and she was not familiar with it, but she still hurriedly replied: "My nephew has this intention!" ”
"Humph! Intentionally or unintentionally, what's the use? At this moment, sitting at a table on the left hand side of Huang Jie and Zhao Fujin, an elderly woman with a very different appearance from Zhao Fujin snorted coldly, but threw the wine cup in her hand down on the table.
Huang Jie took a look, but he also remembered that he had met this woman when he was married, it was Zhao Fujin's sister Zhao Jinnu, and her mother was Empress Xiangong Wang, and now married to Cao Sheng, the general of the Left Guard. And Cao Sheng is still the cousin of Huang Jiefa's little friend Cao Bao, and he is now the second son of the Cao family's long branch.
Huang Jie frowned, and hurriedly got up and crossed hands with Zhao Jinnu and said, "Sister is serious, Ziying has both intention and heart!" ”
Zhao Jinnu is the age should have just been eighteen or nine, and his appearance is naturally inherited from the queen line, and Zhao Fujin is not a system, and I don't know if it is not a discord between the husband and wife after marriage, now I see her upside down with a pair of willow eyebrows, and there is really a kind of momentum of a deep resentful woman, so I heard her snort coldly again, and just about to open her mouth but her body was crooked, and then I saw her suddenly turn her head to the concubine Cao Sheng beside her and shouted: "What are you doing?" ”
Immediately, I saw Cao Sheng's old face flushed, and the atmosphere was also embarrassing, but at this time, the eldest princess who happened to see Empress Zheng got up and poured wine with the queen, and also smiled: "Sister Jin Nu, don't be impatient, don't lose etiquette in front of the queen mother!" ”
The eldest princess Zhao Yupan is from Queen Zheng herself, and now she is also married to Zeng Kun, the general of Zuo Wei, and she is just twenty this year, but her temperament is much more graceful and generous, but after seeing her and Queen Zheng pouring wine, she also turned around and smiled with Cao Sheng and Huang Jie, and then sat back.
The big colt Zeng Kun also got up and raised the lamp and said with Cao Sheng, Huang Jie and many other colts present: "It's rare to be fortunate today, my brother-in-law and so on, why don't you drink a cup and wish the queen mother and the eldest lady a long life and good health?" ”
Now there are as many as nine princesses who have come out of the cabinet under the knees of the Zhao official family, so Zeng Kun's proposal was naturally echoed, and this one naturally couldn't be excused.
After drinking a glass, Zeng Kun also took on the responsibility of the big horse, and began to talk eloquently to enliven the atmosphere on the field, and by the way, Huang Jie also knew that the main purpose of today's banquet was to hold a meeting for Empress Zheng's birthday in the near future, but because it was not a full life, and this year was a fire and a flood, Empress Zheng was not ready to act in a general situation.
Then Huang Jie looked at his nose and pretended to be a wooden man, and took a good look at Zhao Fujin's sisters and sisters, but he quickly separated the relatives. Among them, the most advanced seat is naturally the eldest princess Zhao Yupan, and the second seat is Zhao Jinnu. The third and fourth seats are Zhao Hu'er (Empress Zheng's concubine), and Shunde Emperor Zhao Yingluo (from the royal concubine Wang's family), and Zhao Fujin is ranked fifth.
The next few are: Emperor Xiande Zhao Qiaoyun, Emperor Roufu Zhao Duofu, Emperor Ande Zhao Jinluo, and Emperor Huifu Zhao Zhuzhu.
In addition, there were three imperial aunts and imperial uncles sitting together, Huang Jie didn't know the specific name and title, and he was embarrassed to ask, but looking at the large group of Zhao family's concubines, all of them were reluctant to cope with the expression, and said in his heart that he really caught up today.
