Back then, under Anqing City, Huang Jie had seen Tong Guan's command Ruoding, although he still didn't understand why Tong Guan, an old man who was familiar with military books and had experienced a hundred battles, would do something stupid and naïve with Cai Jing and Wang Hao to "destroy Liao", but he would not look down on Tong Guan's IQ a few points because of this.

Tong Guan's notoriety is no matter how notorious, people are also dignified privy envoys, no matter how sharp your mouth is, you are just a villain in the market, at most you call him lucky, how dare you say that he is incompetent?

Tong Guan pondered for almost half a pillar of incense, but heard the bell and drum in front of the Wende Hall suddenly ring, it should also be the end of the roll call, and the ministers were about to enter the palace to meet him. Tong Guan also got up, stretched out his hand to Huang Jie and said, "Da Lang, go to the palace with the old man!" ”

Huang Jie naturally couldn't refuse, so he had to follow Tong Guan out of the curtain.

It's just that Tong Guan, as a privy envoy, led Huang Jie to the ranks of military generals, and then motioned for Huang Jie to follow behind Gao Taiwei, and then walked to the forefront of the team, leading more than a dozen generals he brought back from the northwest this time into the Wende Palace.

Huang Jie heard him greet him and went behind Gao Yu, so he also heard Gao Yu whisper: "How?" ”

Huang Jie smiled bitterly and said, "I have dedicated the car array to the privy envoy!" I also promised 60 days of reorganization! ”

Gao Yu's face was not sad or happy when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "There is a big matter here, and Ziying will definitely not be at a loss!" ”

Huang Jie also said: "Contribute to the country, share the worries of the privy envoy and the captain, how can you care about any profit and loss?" However, if you want to give full play to the combat power of the car formation, Han Jinbao alone and a horse army can't do it, can the Tai Lieutenant try to transfer the bed crossbow station stationed at Dailoumen that day to also train together? ”

Gao Yu thought about it, and said: "I will only try to do this!" ”

At this time, the courtiers began to enter the palace quickly, and Gao Yu also led Huang Jie into the Wende Palace.

But when it was said that the hundred officials entered the palace and stood according to the three shifts, Huang Jie found that something was wrong!

This Song Dynasty official system, to worship officials, the left and right classes of the palace straight for three classes, and later also to the east and west for worship, the left and right servants and the letter of borrowing for three classes.

Song Zhi Zeng Gong re-"Re-discussed Funds": "At the beginning of the country, the old was inherited to worship the officials, and the left and right classes were directly divided into three classes, and the six were the leaders of the Zhixing, and there were also the leaders of the front of the palace, and the leaders of the other line; After the end arch, it is divided into things and worships, and the left and right guards are placed and the decree is borrowed, all of which are received in the three classes, and the name of the three classes is not changed. ”

One more thing to say here is that these three-class systems can only be used by orthodox "imperial dynasties", such as the Liao State, Western Xia, and even today's Goguryeo (Goryeo Dynasty) are not qualified to be used, and these small countries that practice the "royal system" only have "two classes" of civil and military affairs.

said that Huang Jie found something wrong, that is, now that he was following Gao Yu, he was actually standing in the front row of the first team in the middle of the hall. Now, Yu Shen, the Dazai of the current dynasty and the head of civil officials, stands at the top of the civil official team on the left side of the palace, and Tong Guan, the privy envoy, although he is dressed in the robe of a civil official, also stands at the head of the military attache team on the right side of the palace.

The queue in this hall should be the queue of officials at all levels and officials who have been borrowed from their posts, and you say that when the court captain and the palace commander Gao Yu of the front division of the palace stand in the first place, it is not wrong, but how can Huang Jie He De dare to stand behind him?

Immediately, Huang Jie coughed lightly, wanting to remind Gao Yu, but when Gao Yu heard the voice, he turned around and smiled at him, blinking and giving a slightly calm look.

But said that the ministers stood still, and there was a yellow door to make noise, and then I also saw Liang Shicheng wearing a prison uniform and walked on the throne, and read a piece of Fu with four texts, which should be a routine document to be read out at the court meeting, and I also saw that Zhao Guanjia wore a plain red court to obey the throne and walked up, and after he stood still, the ministers naturally threw themselves on the ground and saluted the mountain and shouted long live.

This Tang Dynasty is due to the Sui system, and the Son of Heaven often wears red and yellow robes, folds a scarf, nine belts, and six boots. Because of this, Song Zi has ochre yellow, light yellow robes, jade red belts, soap and sheath, and the banquet is served. There are also ochre yellow, light yellow robes, red shirts, and often serve them. - "History of the Song Dynasty: Yufu Zhi III"

After the ministers finished the ceremony, Liang Shicheng did not come out to shout "If there is something to play early, there is nothing to retreat from the court", but Zhao Guanjia stepped down from the throne and came directly to the front of the military general queue, took Tong Guan's hand and said: "Daofu is still in the court, I am very relieved, how is the war in the northwest?" ”

This Tong Guan word Daofu (a Daofu), the emperor called his word at the official court meeting, which also means to express grace. Tong Guan also showed a smile on his face, and said loudly to Zhao Guanjia: "Entrust the soldiers with their lives, Your Majesty Hongfu, before Guan returned to Beijing, he defeated Li Qianshun for a while!" ”

Zhao Guanjia was overjoyed when he heard this, and was busy asking Tong Guan to explain the details.

Tong Guan also told the story, saying that in February last year, Li Qianshun took advantage of the earthquake in Songxihe, Huanqing, Jingyuan and other places, and the people were panicked, and sent troops from Shanzhi Fort to enter the Zhenwu Army. Zhenwu is the ancient bone dragon city built by Tong Guan, the city's Zhijun Meng Ming sent troops to fight, was seriously injured, was in a critical situation, Xihe Marshal Liu Fa led troops to reinforce, Xia soldiers were forced to break the siege.

In July, although Li Qianshun won a complete victory against the Song Dynasty, he was forced to ask the Song Dynasty again for peace in the name of Liao's mediation because of the pressure of the Liao State, as well as the pressure of the people's livelihood and economy in his own country, and the Song Dynasty was forced to accept peace with the Xia. It's just that, on the surface, Li Qianshun was negotiating peace with the Great Song Dynasty, but his army did not shrink as promised, but still made small moves on the border line of the Xia and Song Dynasties, and often sent small forces to go deep into the Song Territory to plunder the border people, which is commonly known as "fighting grass valley".

At the beginning of the Liao Dynasty, the army went out to fight "the men and horses did not give grain and grass, and the day sent the grass valley to ride out four to plunder for it" ("Liao History, Bingwei Zhi I"). This kind of way of relying on the soldiers' own supply and plundering of people's grain and grass property without special logistics support, is called "grass valley" by the Liao people.

According to statistics from the beginning of the Song Dynasty in July, the summer soldiers crossed the border 17 times in July, 39 times in August, 122 times in September, and more than 230 times in October. During this period, Tong Guan deliberately turned a blind eye, just asked Liu Fa and Liu Zhongwu to keep shrinking and retreating, and let the garrisons along the line hold on to the earth forts, and even did not allow the border people to move back on a large scale, so that the Xia soldiers were more and more bold, and the deeper they went, the more they couldn't stop.

On the ninth day of November, Tong Guan's painstaking tactics of luring the enemy into the pocket finally reached the day of tightening the gap, he personally went to the battlefield, and Liu Fa and Liu Zhongwu's three-way army with a total strength of 80,000 horses, in the area of the Zhenrong army (now Guyuan, Gansu, belonging to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty), surrounded the Western Xia horse and foot mixed with the partial army, and the fierce battle was fought for one day and one night, and it was completely annihilated, a total of 1,765 people were beheaded, 323 people were captured, and more than 2,300 war horses were obtained.

Among them, a full 500 sets of standard equipment of the Western Xia Iron Harrier Force were also seized, and later the investigation learned that the commander of this grass valley unit was led by Li Qianshun's brother Li Yuchen, and one of the 300 Iron Harriers was his personal guard. After the detection learned that the team was surrounded by Tong Guan's army in three ways, he didn't even need equipment, and directly led three hundred iron harriers to withdraw lightly, and actually let him escape.

This Western Xia Iron Harrier is the most famous heavy cavalry unit in Western Xia, this Iron Harrier rides good horses, heavy armor, and stabbing invulnerable, and is twisted with a hook and rope, although it does not fall immediately. In case of battle, the iron cavalry will break through the formation first, and the chaos will be attacked, and the infantry will advance with cavalry. The Iron Harrier has a total of only 3,000 people, divided into ten teams, each team has 300 people, and the team has a captain, who serves as the captain of the "all the fierce generals of the moment".

Therefore, although it is a pity that this Iron Harrier was not completely wiped out by the Song army, it is a miracle to get 500 sets of Iron Harrier equipment for nothing. But seeing that Tong Guan spoke fiercely, Zhao Guan's family listened happily, and ten pieces of iron harrier heavy armor were carried up to the hall to visit with the ministers, and for a time the Wende Hall was naturally full of praise. The voices are boiling, even the Zhao official family is also happy, and even this can be described as a great victory! (To be continued.) )
