Chapter 431: Northwest Determination

By the time Shaanxi Road Xuanfu sent Han Jiang to the front line in Suizhou, the war was over. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The war started quickly and ended quickly, and the Song army seized the opportunity in all aspects. With the occupation of the east of the Wuding River by the Song army and the arrival of reinforcements in Linzhou, the good situation of Liang Yi's burial was in vain, and soon he could not hold on, and in desperation, he began to retreat gradually.

The Empress Dowager Liang of Suizhou also couldn't sit still, and left Suizhou with regret under Tuobashi's repeated pleas. With the Song army now victorious, it may not know what action it will do to Suizhou. In particular, the balance of forces between Song and Xia has changed, if the Song Dynasty insists on going their own way, besiege and storm Suizhou......

The war has been lost, this is nothing, if the Queen Mother has any mistakes because of this, the consequences are unimaginable. However, after achieving such results, the Song army also stopped and did not take any further action for the time being. It is not a good thing that the front is too long to expand and the situation is too large, and it should be stopped in moderation.

Especially when Han Jiang arrived, the next things would be handed over to him. Lin Zhao's temporary commander-in-chief status has also expired, and he can no longer continue to act as his substitute.

Moreover, for a military operation of this scale, it must be reported to Bianjing to see what the imperial court said. Anyway, within a rare time, the result was already enough for Lin Zhao.

In Di Qing's words, all the intended purposes have been achieved. Lin Zhao's clever calculation, strategizing is a great achievement, and the annihilation of the Iron Harrier is even more famous all over the world, which is a merit that can be recorded in history and made the famous generals and warriors of later generations worship it.

Both the family army and the family army have made meritorious contributions because of this, which is very beneficial to the reputation and future of the two families, and Liu Changzuo's credit is also indispensable. According to the previous forecast. It's good to have such a result.

For the Song Dynasty. Occupying Jingzhou and Suizhou, east of the Wuding River, is already a great gain, which is equivalent to occupying a state. An urgent military report had just been sent to Bianjing, and not long after, a good news followed. The officials and ministers of Bianjing were afraid that they would not have time to worry, so they laughed and laughed.

Lin Zhao's biggest gain is not the credit, but the favor to the breeder and Liu Changzuo. Let them remember this one. It will be of great use in the future.

"Dongyang, this time you did a great job!" When he saw Lin Zhao, Han Jiang was smiling and full of praise.

The Western Xia suddenly tore up the peace treaty and launched an attack, which made them very embarrassed and worried. As a Xuanfu envoy, he can't stabilize the frontier and has the emperor's grace. If the war in the northwest resumes, it will be really difficult to explain. But it didn't make him anxious.

But now it seems that all worries are unnecessary. Lin Zhao had successfully helped him solve all his troubles. In particular, Lin Zhao's many arrangements are strategic, well-planned, and very appropriate, and the cooperation is almost seamless.

The most important thing is that the result is gratifying, at least it is completely possible to wait for the official family and the central government. As for whether the peace talks are successful or not, it doesn't matter anymore. It is equivalent to obtaining a state of land, which is a great joy that has never been seen since the start of the Song and Xia wars.

It can be said that it is a blessing in disguise, and Han Jiang also breathed a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, Lin Zhao is really a lucky general! Han Xianggong already remembered Lin Zhao's good in his heart, and he must compensate for it if he has the opportunity.

Lin Zhao smiled: "It's just a fluke, thanks to Han Gong's cultivation support." He didn't expect to give Han Jiang a favor himself, but it was necessary to have a good relationship.

"Don't be modest in Dongyang, today's victory can be compared with Di Hanchen in the past, he is really a young hero!" Han Jiang sighed, this incident seemed to have touched him a lot.

Lin Zhao secretly said in his heart, it was originally Di Qing's plan, and he was just an executor, so he was really embarrassed to say it.

"Han Xianggong praised it falsely, the kid is just a blind cat and a dead mouse!" Lin Zhao had to make a haha, although it was a beautiful big deal, it was best to keep a low profile, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. It's also good to make a good impression of humility.

Han Jiang glanced at Lin Zhao meaningfully, he felt deeply, sure enough, he was not mistaken, this son is really extraordinary, a talent that has been rare for decades!

"Don't be modest, the good news has been sent to Bianjing, this time you have made a great contribution, and the reward will naturally not be less. Young and promising, the future is limitless! "Han Jiang is a real person, whoever should have his military exploits belongs to whom, and he will not fill his pockets. In order to thank Lin Zhao, he also specially asked for credit for Lin Zhao and others as a Xuanfu envoy.

This is exactly the result that Lin Zhao wants, the credit is indispensable to himself, and the most important thing is those favors. It's just that some things can't be revealed too obviously, and I don't want to go deeper, so I deliberately diverted the topic and asked, "By the way, what is the reaction of the Tangut people?" ”

Han Jiang said with a smile: "Empress Dowager Liang and Liang Yibury have both retreated to Yinzhou, and Tuoba Shi is still holding on to Suizhou, and it is currently in a state of confrontation across the Wuding River. However, the Tangut people have already sent a surrender table, expressing their willingness to surrender to our dynasty and resume peace talks. ”

Empress Dowager Liang is also helpless, maybe she was still a little arrogant before, and she was not willing to admit defeat at all. But at this moment, the cruel reality has completely awakened her, and the result of her willfulness is that the Western Xia Kingdom has paid an extremely painful price.

She now understands that Liang Yi's previous failures are completely excusable. Their brother and sister have made the same mistake entirely, regret is useless, and how to deal with this mess is the most important thing. It is one thing that the party and nobles are not easy to explain, but what should the Song Dynasty do if they can't give up?

The Song army's tight defense gave them no chance, and it was impossible for the war to make any progress, the most elite iron harriers were lost, and the Western Xia had no more hole cards and strength, so it was really a complete defeat; This time there must be a truce in the true sense of the word, and if it continues, the consequences will be even more disastrous.

"Ask for peace with the Song Dynasty!" Empress Dowager Liang was weak when she said this.

"Okay!" Liang Yi's performance was very calm, he was vaguely uneasy in his heart before the war, and now such a thing has really happened. The reality is so helpless, in the end, they all underestimated Lin Zhao. Judging from the defeat of the Iron Harrier, all this should be Lin Zhao's handiwork.

Underestimate the opponent, and the result is such a catastrophe!

"Sister, I'm afraid it's not as simple as peace talks this time, if we don't accept it, I'm afraid that the Song Dynasty won't agree!" Liang Yi had such concerns, after all, the peace talks had just ended, and they immediately repeated the peace treaty after it was signed. It's easy to say if you win, it's reasonable to say that you are evenly matched, but they are defeated, and they are still defeated. In such a situation, where do they still have confidence? Where is the qualification to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty on an equal footing?

In the case of a complete victory, the people of the Song Dynasty who raised their eyebrows and were proud of their attitude. At this time, if Western Xia is not convinced, how can it be easy to cease the war? It's not necessarily that much fear that the Song Dynasty people will come in, the war will be lost, and the Xingqing Mansion will be in turmoil, they must go back as soon as possible to suppress, and they can't afford it now!

Empress Dowager Liang hesitated for a long time and said, "Then surrender!" ”

Liang Yi buried and said in a deep voice: "Sister, don't be sad, this time we can be regarded as recognizing the reality, the Song people have a saying, shame and courage, everything is still in time!" ”

"Hmm!" Empress Dowager Liang looked at her younger brother, who had matured a lot, and nodded lightly: "As long as our sister and brother are of the same heart, we will definitely be able to make a comeback. ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The peace talks are completely different from the previous ones. This time, the Tanguts took the initiative to surrender, although the Tanguts had repeated it once, but this time there was reason to believe that the Tanguts were willing to negotiate peace. After all, the current situation is very unfavorable for them, and they have no choice but to negotiate peace.

To be precise, you can only surrender, and retreat is retreat.

Han Jiang said: "This matter has also been reported to Bianjing, and everything depends on the decision of the officials and the princes." ”

At present, the rare victory in the battle of Song and Xia has a good momentum, and there are conditions for continued advancement. Of course, it is also a good choice to accept it when you see it.

The last peace talks had already ended procedurally, so Lin Zhao's identity as a peace envoy was naturally null and void. This time, even Han Jiang couldn't make the decision, so it was naturally difficult for him to say anything, and it was not easy to meddle at all. Lin Zhao himself didn't want to get involved in this mess, so he couldn't wait to get out of it!

Lin Zhao said with a smile: "Han Xuan's envoy, anyway, the defense is tight at the moment, and it will take a while for peace talks, so there is nothing to do, can I take leave?" Take a trip to Fuzhou. I have been married for a long time, and I haven't been to my wife's house yet, so I can't say anything, but this time I have the right opportunity to go and meet my uncle and elders first, and ask Han Xianggong to be thoughtful. ”

Lin Zhao is the son-in-law of the Fuzhou family, Han Jiang knows it, since Lin Zhao has spoken, there is really nothing important at the moment anyway, so naturally he will not object.

"Okay, you can go, I'll inform you of something." Han Xianggong readily agreed.

"Thank you!" From the beginning of the year to now, it has been five or six months, and Lin Zhao is indeed tired, so he just took this opportunity to take a vacation and rest. Han Jiang is here in Suizhou, so he doesn't have to worry about it at all, his hairy-footed son-in-law should also come to the door and go to visit his eldest brother, who has been a long-time friend.

Of course, Lin Zhao had to explain it before, especially from the Mingyue Sect's side. It seems that the affairs in the northwest should come to an end, and the next focus should be on Bianjing, and they should also change. As for the northwest, I'm afraid it's time to say goodbye for now, but it won't be long before I will come back. This is your own backyard, and you must be firmly in control, and you must not miss it.

It's just that he didn't expect that when he had just seen Han Jiang and just went back, a personal soldier came over and said, "Lin Shilang, the eldest prince asks to see him!" ”

The most common occurrence of the seed family is the way of the seed master and the seed master, and the eldest prince is naturally the way of the seed master!

What is the matter with him coming to see him at this moment? (To be continued......)

PS: I wish you all a happy New Year, and I wish you all the best in the Year of the Horse!
