Since the war between Fengzhou and Yanyan ended with the victory of the Great Song Dynasty official army. In the capital, more and more people are talking about when the official army will raise troops to attack Xingling and exterminate the Western Xia. There are even a lot of people waiting, who are already thinking about recovering Yanyun.

Although the imperial court did not announce it, nor did it admit it, in the party army in Fengzhou, there was a team of the most elite leather room iron cavalry of the Liao State. However, this group of leather room troops was easily wiped out by the officers and soldiers, and the officers and soldiers did not even suffer much damage.

There is more and more evidence that the official army of the Emperor and Song Dynasty already has a strong force that overwhelms the two captives in the northwest. Nowadays, among the people, most of the people have a sense of comfort when they talk about it.

However, what is being talked about more now is the battle between the toes and the toes that are in the midst of a fierce battle.

After the good news of the great victory in Menzhou was spread to the capital, the war thousands of miles away became the hottest topic among the people of the capital. Two days ago, the official army had already attacked the Fuliang River, and the good news of the thieves who retreated to Thang Long Mansion across the river made the capital boil.

Only one step away from destroying the country, since Emperor Taizong pacified the Northern Han Dynasty, for more than 100 years, the Great Song Dynasty has been mainly guarded internally, where is there a record of raising troops to destroy the country.

The past exploits of generals such as Zhang Dan, Han Gang, Yan Da, and Li Xin were all taken out and chewed in their mouths. Everyone is saying that a famous handsome and good general with such a record will not be a problem to take the Thang Long Mansion.

In every restaurant and tea shop, you can see a group of idlers, talking about how the officials and soldiers should fight the Fuliang River, and they all seem to have become strategists, and all kinds of reliable and unreliable discussions are flying around on the wine table and tea table.

"I didn't expect that there was still a talk of sending people across the river in spacecraft...... It's ridiculous. Cai Jing shook the wine cup in his hand, "How can Fu Liangjiang be so easy?" ”

"What Yuan Chang said, the officials and troops have already reached the Fuliang River, with Zhang Zihou and Han Yukun's thoughts, they must kill Shenglong Mansion and bring the King of Jiaozhi to the capital." Shangguan Jun, who was drinking with him, shook his head, "No matter how bad it is, can it be compared to the Yellow River and the Yangtze River?" Cochin is not a superfluous season now. ”

"Isn't it the water potential? but there were thieves in the way. ”

"The officials and the army are all one to the thief, and there is a precedent before."

Cai Jing put down the wine glass and said, "The foolish people are ignorant, why are even Brother Yanheng confused." Han Gang was able to win a big victory in Yongzhou before, because the thieves were already tired of the division veterans at that time, and the officers and soldiers were surprised and covered up their unpreparedness, so they succeeded in one fell swoop. But now that the south is asking for Jiaozhi, it has been delayed for a whole year, and the thieves have already been prepared. ”

"If you are really prepared, why did the official army have already hit the Fuliang River so quickly?" Shangguan Jun retorted.

"Brother Yanheng, do you know what is a strong wall?" Cai Jing said, "Since the official army invaded the territory of Jiaozhi, there is only one Menzhou ...... that can be regarded as a big war."

"Yuan Chief!" Shangguan Jun's face was full of disapproval, "Have you forgotten the good news that came back the day before yesterday?" ”

Cai Jing smiled slightly: "In the first battle of Menzhou, the commander of the thieves who was killed was Uncle Qiande, known as Prince Hongzhen. And the good news two days ago, saying that it was a big defeat of tens of thousands of thieves, who was the commander who was killed? It's just a state official! How big is Cochin? Tens of thousands of soldiers can be raised in one state? It's just bragging. In fact, after Menzhou, the official army never fought with the main force of the thieves. ”

Shangguan Jun's voice was stagnant.

Cai Jing continued: "Judging from the current situation, the main force of the thieves is all on the other side of the Fuliang River. If the younger brother is Li Changjie, he will destroy all the boats on the river or take them to the south bank. Including the barbarians, a total of 100,000 soldiers and horses have to eat and drink, and after the thieves are cleared of the wilderness, where will the food come from? And how much time to try to cross the river, and how much time to delay. ”

"Where can it be so difficult to cross the river!"

Cai Jing sighed: "Jiaozhi can cross the sea to attack Qin and Lian, and their sailors will not be decorations. ”

"In terms of craftsman's craftsmanship, how can Jiaozhi be compared to China. The warships built by the officers and soldiers are by no means something that the Jiaozhi people can resist! ”

Cai Jing laughed, "Where is it possible to build a ship so easily!" The newly cut timber has to be dried in the shade for three or five years, and without wood, iron nails, tung oil, and silk and flax wool, where can a warship be built? ”

Seeing that Shangguan Jun was still not convinced, he threw out the most powerful evidence, "Presumably, Zhang and Han are discussing how to deal with the locals in Jiaozhi, brother should have heard about it, right?" ”

Shangguan Jun had a straight face: "The thieves kidnapped the Han people as slaves, and let the Chinese people make cattle and horses for them, and there should be this report." ”

At present, the official propaganda caliber is to publicize the crimes of the Jiaozhi people in Qinzhou, Lianzhou, and Yongzhou, as well as the suffering of the people who were taken captive to Jiaozhi, in accordance with the recital of the Annan Economic Strategy Counselling Division, so as to maintain the justice of revenge, and clearly say that it is necessary to repay grievances directly. Just cutting off the toes is already very magnanimous, and it is still the barbarians who do it, and the officials and soldiers are just watching from the sidelines, so there is nothing wrong with saying it.

"The leader of the traitors is judged by the law of the land, but how can there be any reason to ask the people for sinning throughout the ages? It's all coercion and never asks. Outside it is said that Zhang Zihou and Han Yukun are really happy to do this, but think about it carefully, if you can appease the people of Jiaozhi and let them become the people of the Emperor and Song Dynasty, where will they give up? It's just that if you can't do it, you will choose to let go and let the brute department clean it. However, one of the bad things about this plan to drive tigers and wolves is to raise tigers for trouble, so there is a strategy for punishment. ”

Cai Jing sighed, "For the sake of the stability of the south in the future, Zhang and Han can be regarded as thinking hard. But in these means, can you see that they are sure to capture Thang Long Mansion?"

Shangguan Jun was at a loss for a while.

"Although I don't dare to say that Thang Long Mansion will definitely not be able to fight, most of them are difficult, and if one is not good, it can also turn the tide of the battle for the thieves. Now I can only hope that Zhang Zihou and Han Yukun can accept it when they see it, and don't let the officials and troops fold on the banks of the Fuliang River. ”

Cai Jing picked up the wine cup again.

If the Thang Long Mansion can really be defeated, the luck and means of these two people will be too amazing. But in this world, there are so many things of good luck. The capital of a country is 10,000 horses and horses, and the officials and troops can fight to Linhuang Mansion in the capital of Liao.

As he was thinking like this, he heard the sound of hooves downstairs, and several riders rushed from the road to Miyagi one after another, and everyone held aloft the Lubu announcing the good news, and galloped under the restaurant, and suddenly there was a rush along the street they passed, and how many people were running and shouting, "The official army has captured Thang Long Mansion!" ”

"The official army has captured Thang Long Mansion!"

……………………

Zhao Ji was in the midst of gains and losses, and Zhang Dian and Han Gang were able to invade the territory of Jiaozhi with an army of 10,000 people, of course he was ecstatic. But the crisis is also among them, and this battle is really too smooth, so smooth that Zhao Ji is suspicious that there are any conspiracy and tricks brewing in Jiaozhi.

The worry on Wang Anshi's face has become heavier and heavier in the past few days, and he has been worried about the battle situation in Jiaozhi. After all, the only troops that could really be used were the Western Army and the Jingnan Army, with a total of less than 7,000 people. Moreover, there were only a few battles in the territory of Jiaozhi, and well-known generals such as Li Changjie and Zong Jian were not dispatched, so they were deliberately attracting officials and troops to go deeper.

The Son of Heaven and the Prime Minister all had the same idea, and the rest of the governors in the two prefectures were not optimistic about Zhang Dian and Han Gang's rashness. The action of the Jiaozhi people to strengthen the wall and clear the field was too obvious, and there was no major war after Menzhou. As Zaifu, the information they got was far more detailed than the outside world, how could they not see the plan of the Jiaozhi people?

It's just that no one can make up their minds that the official army will definitely not be able to defeat Thang Long Mansion. Even Wu Chong is the same, he has stumbled too many times in front of Han Gang, and he can only criticize and impeach Zhang Dian and Han Gang's actions.

After all, it was not a matter of one or two, but hundreds of thousands of people were punished at the same time, which can be said to be unprecedented, and it is even more appalling than the slaughter of the city. Although the Recruiting Division managed to hand over the matter to the barbarian department, and the hidden intentions were also recognized by the Son of Heaven, Wu Chong was really unbearable, but what should have been said had already been said, and there was no way for the Son of Heaven to ignore it.

What we want to discuss today is only whether to issue an edict to let Zhang Dian and Han Gang act on the camera, and not to attack hard. However, in terms of time, after the edict was conveyed, if it could cross the river, it would definitely have already crossed, if it could not cross the river, then with the wisdom of Zhang and Han, most of them would also choose to withdraw in time, and wait until the main reinforcements arrived, and then send troops to fight again - just 20 days ago, the second batch of 4,000 reinforcements scheduled to set off for the south, and the third batch was because the situation in Hebei was still grim, and they had to wait for a while.

It's just that this matter has not been discussed, and the patriarch who has just come to Beijing - Zhang Fangping, who knows the Heavenly Mansion and is also the envoy of Xuanhui, after going to the palace, only said a few official words, and immediately attacked the two commanders of the Annan Economic Strategy Recruiting Division: "Zhang Dian Hangang is perverse in Jiaozhi, and if he does not apply benevolence and righteousness, the grudge will be difficult to solve for a hundred years!" In the future, if the toes are not going well, and the troops are raised, how can the two of them be innocent? ! ”

Zhao Ji was unhappy in his heart, and his face sank, "Could it be that the thieves slaughtered in Qin, Lian, and Yong Prefectures, and such a grudge can be resolved in only three and five years?" Doesn't Zhang Qing hear that although he is far away, he will be punished with four words? Jiaozhi raised 100,000 troops to invade the territory, and every household sent troops, on the basis of national law, the traitors were connected with the three clans, that is, in terms of Jiaozhi, who was innocent in his country? ”

Li Gande was the king of the county who was canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, and the statement that he led the shore of the land cannot be denied. Jiaozhi is a subject country of the Great Song Dynasty, Li Qiande is a courtier of the Great Song Dynasty, and the people of Jiaozhi are also subject to the jurisdiction of the Great Song Dynasty.

"If it's true, it's better to be punished even if it's far away." Zhang Fangping shook his head and sighed, "Hundreds of thousands of people who have been sentenced to death will definitely hate the Emperor and Song to the core, so the minister will say that the resentment will last for a hundred years." ”

As long as you kill them all, you will be fine, but if you don't clean your hands, hatred will be passed on from generation to generation. No one could have imagined that Zhang Fangping's meaning would be like this, and even Zhao Ji was stunned.

Zhang Fang's face was flattened, and his expression became more serious, "The Recruiting Division acted so cruelly and tortured all the men in Jiaozhi, how can this deter the Jiaozhi people from resisting, it will only increase their perseverance, if they want to forcibly cross the Fuliang River, the officers and soldiers will be injured, and it will be difficult to see success." And the use of troops thousands of miles away, the people transfer hardships, for the sake of China, for the sake of the people, or to order the withdrawal of troops as soon as possible! ”

Lu Huiqing sneered in her heart, and said for a long time, and sure enough, this is the purpose.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Annan is asking for good news, and the official army has broken the Shenglong Mansion! Qiande surrendered, Li Changjie committed suicide in fear of crime...... "Shi De, who rushed into the hall with the good news, was stunned for a moment, why did Zhang Xuanhui, who turned back in front of him, his face turned purple, and his eyes wanted to eat himself?
