Chapter 109 Yanyun Restoration VI

"The will of the officials?" Wu Ji was very surprised: "Could it be that something happened in Shaanzhou?" ”
Song Shenzong's will came too quickly, there must be something important, otherwise, he would not have made his will at this time, and what worried Wu Ji the most was the war in Shaanzhou. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Fortunately, the war is going on in the current situation, even if Shaanzhou loses badly, it can no longer affect the overall situation.
"High!" Wang Shao gave a thumbs up, sighed, and then his face sank, and he could wring out the water, and said: "The Xixia people set up an ambush, annihilated the Anding army, and took the five cities of Anding in one fell swoop. Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, there has never been such a miserable person! ”
Although the Song Dynasty was weak, it pressed the alien race for hundreds of years. However, in the past hundred years, the city has not been lost, let alone such a tragic accident, Wang Shao is full of emotion when he mentions it, gritting his teeth, and hating the root of his teeth.
"So miserable?" Wu Ji was taken aback and jumped up.
Wu Ji had predicted the war in Shaanzhou, even if he suffered defeat, it would not be so miserable, and the five cities were in ruins, which was a massacre of the city, a terrifying event. In an instant, Wu Ji's face was the same as Wang Shao's, he was wrenched, his fists were clenched, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and he said in a deep voice: "The Xixia people owe a lot of blood debts, we must get it back!" ”
"I must get it back!" Wang Shaoda agreed with this proposal: "Blood debt and blood repayment are justified!" ”
Although hatred is hateful, but the matter has come to this, it is useless to hate again, and it is important to deal with the right thing. Wu Ji took a long breath, forced himself to calm down, took the holy decree, and took a look, it turned out that Song Shenzong asked him to lead his army to Western Xia at the right time to relieve the siege of Shaanzhou.
Among them, special mention was made of the DPRK-China consultations.
"Cai Jing?" Wu Ji never imagined that it was Cai Jing, a well-known annihilator, who had the most insight, put forward the most correct proposition, and prevented a wrong move.
"Huh!" Wang Shao let out a string of laughs and said: "Brother Wu, this Cai Jing is amazing, he has a flexible mind, is knowledgeable, shrewd, loyal to the king, and vigorously promotes the new law, which is deeply appreciated by the officials and Jiefu. ”
He highly admired Cai Jing and praised him a lot. It can be heard that Wang Shao's appreciation for Cai Jing is from the heart.
Wu Ji believed in Wang Shao's vision and secretly thought to himself: "No one is born a minister, and the reason why Cai Jing became a minister is because he met the incompetent emperor Huizong of Song!" As the so-called red is close to Zhu, and black is close to ink, Song Huizong likes to be vocal and sensual, and after a long time, Cai Jing has changed. ”
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty was a famous merry emperor in Chinese history, who liked to be sensual and sexual, especially in art. And Cai Jing's artistic attainments are very high, and he is deeply appreciated by Song Huizong, and gradually, Cai Jing has changed.
"Brother Wu, you have been hungry for a few days, you should eat first, you eat, and we will discuss this matter of sending troops." Wang Shao beckoned, and a soldier came in, holding a lot of food in his hand, put it in front of Wu Ji, and retreated.
Wu Ji was really hungry, and when he saw the food, it was like a gluttonous cat meeting a salted fish, and he wanted to swallow it all. Panicked, Wang Shao hurriedly stopped and reminded: "Brother Wu, slow down, don't be too anxious." ”
Hearing this, Wu Ji really wanted to scold him, but knowing that he was reasonable, he had to resist the impulse and eat it one bite at a time, while his eyes were fixed on the food. Since the war in Zhuozhou, I thought that I hadn't eaten delicious food for more than half a month, and as soon as this food entered my mouth, it felt more fragrant than the delicacies of the mountains and seas, so greedy that Wu Ji's saliva flowed, and his eyes could no longer be removed, as if he was reincarnated as a starving ghost.
"Brother Wu, Yelu Hongji escaped, what is your opinion on this matter?" Wang Shao saw Wu Ji's appearance in his eyes, and almost laughed out loud, he never imagined that Wu Ji, who had always been steady, would have such a side that was seduced by food. If you think about it, if you were anyone, you would be like this, but if you just wanted to be a person, you would be drooling.
He was here to divert Wu Ji's attention. Sure enough, Wu Ji had to suppress his mind, raised his eyebrows, and said his opinion. Wang Shao listened very carefully, nodded his head, and said: "Brother Wu is insightful and far-sighted, this battle has just ended, and you are planning the next big battle, you can do it!" ”
Wu Ji's foresight will be appreciated by anyone. Now that the Liao State has just been defeated, and the land of Yanyun has not yet been recovered, Wu Ji is planning the next big war, and he still has to fundamentally solve the Khitan problem, which is really remarkable and appreciated.
"What Brother Wu said is extremely reasonable." Wang Shao continued: "At the beginning, when I heard that Yelu Hongji had fled, I was so angry that I counted my brothers well, if you were by my side at that time, I would definitely choke your neck." Yelu Hongji, the emperor of Liaogou, he got away with it, and there are endless troubles. After a while, I thought about it carefully, and I felt that Yelu Hongji's escape was not necessarily a bad thing, and it gave us the opportunity to completely solve the Khitan problem! ”
Wu Ji couldn't help nodding and said, "If Yelu Hongji doesn't get away, the Khitan tribes will be unrestrained, scattered in the desert and the enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, and it will be very difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to be exterminated." Think about the Xiongnu, who were defeated by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty back then, changed their strategy, and no longer fought head-on with the Han Dynasty, but harassed the Han Dynasty, which made the Han Dynasty very troublesome. It was not until decades after the death of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that the Xiongnu came to surrender. Even after surrendering, there were still Xiongnu who refused to accept and continued to harass, making the Han Dynasty unable to cope. Later, Xianbei's Tanshi Huai's old tricks were repeated, and even the relatives of the Han Dynasty did not refuse. The Turks of the previous dynasty are as good as that. ”
This is all a matter of experience, and the best thing about nomads is not frontal warfare, but guerrilla warfare. When it comes to frontal combat, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and Turks are not China's opponents, because they do not have advanced civilization, do not have developed science and technology, and their equipment and tactics are far inferior to China. It is precisely because of this that the Xiongnu and Turks were exterminated by the Han and Tang Dynasties.
However, once the nomads engaged in guerrilla warfare, it would be a great trouble for the Chinese. You must know that the desert is vast and immense, and it is the place where the cavalry gallops, and the nomads come and go freely, and they can't defeat China, and it is not a problem to disturb China.
If Yelu Hongji is captured alive, the Khitans will be unrestrained, fighting separately, scattered all over the desert, and it will be too difficult for the Song Dynasty to be exterminated.
Yelu Hongji escaped, he would not be willing to lose, he would gather the remnants to fight against the Song Dynasty, which gave the Song Dynasty a good opportunity. If it is planned properly, the remnants of the Khitan force will be wiped out in the First World War, and there will be no more nuisances, and the Khitan problem will be fundamentally solved.
"Yes! Oh, yes! Wang Shao patted his forehead and said with a smile: "At the beginning, we were bent on capturing Yelu Hongji alive, and we almost made a big mistake. Capturing Yelu Hongji alive is certainly enjoyable and makes this battle perfect, but it is such a big disaster, many people will die, and it will make the Great Song Dynasty unpeaceful for decades. Fortunately, Yelu Hongji escaped and gave us a good opportunity to completely solve the Khitan problem! ”
Yelu Hongji is the emperor of Liao, and it is everyone's wish to capture him alive. At that time, Wu Ji was eager to catch him immediately, and now, after thinking about it carefully, this matter was not considered at that time. Fortunately, Yeluhongki escaped, which is a good thing.
"The question is, when are we going to strike the final blow on the Khitans?" Wang Shao looked at Wu Ji and asked the most critical question. This matter is uncertain, and everything is empty talk.
A few days ago, when Zhou Wei asked this question, Wu Ji actually fell asleep. Today, Wu Ji didn't fall asleep, but shook his head and said, "It's still too early to say when to send troops and give Yelu Hongji the final blow." In this battle, we must do two things, one is to give Yeluhongji enough oppression, to make him feel nervous, he will mobilize all the forces that can be mobilized. The second is that we must give enough time to Yelu Hongji, only in this way can Yelu Hongji concentrate the remnants of the Khitan people and give us a battle! ”
If he didn't put enough pressure on Yeluhongji, he wouldn't have found a way to mobilize the remnants. Once there is a residual force that slips through the net, there will be trouble for the Song Dynasty.
It is important that if Yeluhonki is not given enough time, he will not be able to mobilize enough troops.
"The exact timing of the deployment of troops depends on the specific situation. I estimate that it will take at least half a year, or even a year, for Yelu Hongji to gather the remnants of his strength. Wu Ji rolled his eyes and thought about it.
"Huh!" Wang Shaochang laughed, gave a thumbs up, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, it is really a pleasure to talk to you about military affairs, and it always speaks to my bones." That's what I thought, too. After this battle is over, we will go back to Bianjing to meet the official family and talk about it in detail. Well, this has to be a secret, as far as you and I know, and we must not divulge it. ”
This is related to whether the desert is stable, whether the border is peaceful or not, and it is indeed to be classified as a top secret, Wu Ji couldn't help but nod his head and deeply agreed.
"Brother Wu, this matter of the Khitans has come to an end for the time being. I'll tell you about Yanyun. Wang Shao knew that in order for Wu Ji to have a comprehensive judgment, he also needed to let him know Yan Yun's recent situation.
Since Zhuozhou pursued Yelu Hongji, Wu Ji didn't know about the recent situation in the land of Yanyun, and it was too necessary for him to know.
"After the first battle of Zhuozhou, the elite of the Liao State was lost, and the news of the victory of the Great Song Dynasty spread all over the land of Yanyun, and the people of Yanyun were overjoyed, opening the door to welcome the king, and the speed of the recovery of the land of Yanyun was far beyond my imagination." Wang Shao stroked his forehead and said with a smile: "When don't I receive a lot of good news?" By now, the land of Yanyun has been restored. However, the troops in our hands are too small to receive them for a while, and at present, there are still many places in the hands of the people of Yanyun. ”
The land of Yanyun is now the North China Plain centered on Yanjing, and the place is not small. Although the Song army moved quickly, it was impossible to occupy all of them in such a short period of time, and many places were temporarily managed by the people of Yanyun who expelled the Liao officials.
"The Khitan people occupy the land of Yanyun and act recklessly, making the heavens angry and resentful, and the people and gods are angry, so that the people will respond to the Great Song Dynasty!" Wu Ji couldn't help nodding.
"yes!" Wang Shao raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is your opinion on the matter of sending troops to Western Xia?" ”
