Chapter 133 The old and weak are killed, and horses and sheep are everywhere

"The oracle has arrived, and the generals will see. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info "Tong Guan spread out the holy decree on the table, but Tong Guan didn't expect the holy decree to come so quickly, and the military report he sent out was still on the way, but the holy decree had already arrived in the army. Someone in the DPRK must have helped Tong Guan in this matter, and it is Cai Jing who doesn't have to think about it.

The generals came forward to watch, and the whole article praised Tong Guan and the Northwest Army General, and the last few sentences were to let Tong Guan be in charge of the armistice negotiations.

After waiting for the generals to take a look, Tong Guan asked directly: "What does General Zheng think this negotiation should do?" ”

Everyone seemed to have guessed that Tong Xiang was going to ask Zheng Zhi publicly, and they all turned their eyes to Zheng Zhi.

"Hui Xianggong, such a big victory, this time the city has been besieged, and the siege preparations have been made. Then they are not afraid to open their mouths, asking for land, money, food, and people. Zheng Zhi waved his left hand, which had just dismantled the wooden shelf, and his passion rose. After several battles, it was finally time to reap the fruits of victory.

"How big is the opening?" Tong Guan was also thinking about it in his head.

"You don't want other places, several important cities of the Jingsai Military Division and the Jianing Military Division will be returned to the Great Song Dynasty, and the route of the Western Army's attack will be opened, and if there is a war in the future, you can drive straight into the Xingqing Mansion, and the party and the soldiers will no longer dare to rise lightly." Zheng Zhi is now familiar with these things, and his self-confidence is slowly increasing, and he also has an insight into the planning of these grand strategies.

"I'm afraid that the party members won't agree." Tong Guan naturally knows the severity, how can the party people give all the roads to their capital to the enemy, if they really give it, there will only be a barrier in Lingzhou City in Xingqing Mansion in the future, but I am afraid that the party people will have to think about moving the capital.

"It's okay if you don't agree, just wait for the party envoy to come, ask for it, and if you don't give it, you will attack the city, and attack the city in front of the party envoy. Now that the pre-war preparations have been made, it would be a waste not to attack. Zheng Zhi's eyes were fierce.

"Yes, Tong Xianggong, if you don't agree, you will go to Xingqing Mansion." Zhe Keqiu also said at this time, it is Zhe Keqiu who is young, and his enterprising heart is a little more than everyone else.

Tong Guan's eyes slowly condensed, made a decision, and asked, "How much money and food?" ”

"It doesn't matter how much money and food you have, but there are more horses, 20,000 war horses a year in the future, and 10,000 will be given when the army is withdrawn." Zheng Zhi's plan is really considered from a military point of view, and war horses are the most important materials in the military. From ancient times to the present, the use of horses has been an important condition for determining the outcome of war.

From Qin's defeat of 400,000 Zhao troops, to Mongolia's sweep of Europe and Asia, and then to Manchu's sweep of the Central Plains, horses have played a huge role.

Hearing this, Tong Guan raised his hand and waved lightly: "Money and food should be wanted." ”

Zheng Zhi didn't say much, Tong Xianggong asked for money, and it didn't hurt, but Zheng Zhi also knew that although there were many sheep and horses in Xixia, money and food were really scarce.

When the generals heard Zheng Zhi's words, all their faces were full of hope, and they all thought of the might of the three thousand iron horsemen under the command of the little Xianggong, and they had horses. In the future, when he goes on an expedition, he will be surrounded by ironclad knights, what kind of majesty is that.

Tong Guan put down his hand and asked suspiciously, "What do you want people to do?" ”

Zheng Zhi finally said an important person, and everyone naturally didn't understand it, but it was easy to talk about the money, grain, and horses. It is really impossible to say that the party members are too much, and it is also difficult to understand.

"Xianggong, the people of the party have been fighting against my Song Dynasty for decades, relying not on money and food, nor on horses, but on people, the party is already small and wide, but there are not many tribes in the desert grassland. The strategy of attacking people is a way to weaken the strength of the party, and the party members captured by the Western army must not be returned. Zheng Zhi said this. But there is still a poisonous plan in his heart.

"If you don't return it, will you kill it?" Tong Guan's heart trembled. Killing prisoners is really not in line with the values of the literati of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Tong Xianggong, it's a pity to kill it, you can sell it, you can use it, you can do it, you can also be incorporated into the army." In Zheng Zhi's heart, in fact, he is more inclined to join the army, and the party members are extremely brave soldiers, and if they go through strict training, their combat power will definitely be extraordinary.

There is only one problem that needs to be solved, and that is the human heart. This thing seems difficult, but it is actually simple, but living and working in peace and contentment has something to eat, and people will never rebel when they have a family and a room to eat, as has been the case since ancient times. If you move to the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty thousands of miles away, there is no hope for the old country, and you will naturally cut off many thoughts.

What's more, nomads, the sense of belonging in their bones is not strong. Hatred is even less important for Zheng Zhi, obedient has food, and disobedient will naturally fall to the ground.

Tong Guan didn't speak, but he was thinking about it in his heart, everyone was thinking about it, the party item was not as good as the Khitan, the country was already in decline, and it seemed feasible to bring the party members to the Central Plains to suppress bandits and quell the rebellion.

"This matter can be tried on a trial basis, if it is not appropriate, it must be decided immediately, and it will be killed, and the Qiang people cannot be allowed to cause chaos." Tong Guan knew that this matter was risky, but he also dared to take risks.

"Xianggong, the strategy of attacking people, there is another plan." Zheng Zhixin's poisoning plan has risen.

General Zheng said.

"This time the army has arrived in the hinterland of the party, and it is necessary to plunder the Quartet, collect all the Qiang people, horses, cattle and sheep, and plunder more people." Zheng Zhi's eyes were cold, this poisonous plan was originally a way for the Manchus to develop and grow in later generations, to kidnap the Han people as slaves, and make up for their population disadvantage, so that the key to the rise of the Manchus was the only way.

The benevolent homestead, in this troubled era surrounded by strong enemies, can only be slaughtered.

Zheng Zhi's strategy is not ordinary in the eyes of later generations. But the Han people have never really done such a thing. Expulsion and isolation of resistance have always been the most important ways for nomads in China. But when the Han people themselves were in civil strife, these methods were used.

Tong Guan raised his eyes to meet Zheng Zhi's gaze, feeling a sense of anger, retracted his gaze, and then looked at the rest of the generals.

All the generals are experienced in battle for a long time, and they are used to life and death, no one will think that Zheng Zhi's plan is too vicious, but it is in line with everyone's taste. The party members are the old enemies of everyone's ancestors for generations, and as long as they can weaken the enemy's strength, it is a good plan. In the past, there was no opportunity, but now the time is just around the corner, where is there any reluctance.

"Plunder!" Tong Guan nodded, but he didn't care about this matter in his heart. Just as Zheng Zhi thought before, Tong Xianggong returned to the dynasty victoriously, and he could be added to the rank of knight, but where would he understand the suffering of several generations of northwest men who fought every year.

In the camp, the soldiers struck on all sides, but everyone who could ride on his horse without falling off his horse got on his horse and went out.

There were more than 7,000 healthy horses in the army, and there were more than 7,000 horsemen, divided into three teams to sweep in the southeast, west, and west.

Zheng Zhi didn't take the troops out, and it was just right to leave this kind of thing to Luda. Luda took 1,000 Weizhou iron cavalry and 1,000 Qingzhou soldiers on horseback and galloped to the west.

In the desert grassland, in the entire southern part of Western Xia, there are only women and children left in the party tribes, and all those who can go out are already in the army, most of the dead and wounded, and now there are only 20,000 people in Lingzhou City.

Anyone who was found by the Song army was killed, the old and weak were killed, women and children were tied, and horses and sheep were everywhere.
