"This mountainous area on the north bank of the Yellow River is full of our eyeliners, and we will set up four ambush sites on the road that those fools of the Xia Kingdom must pass to send them to death. Most of these mines are designed to startle horses and produce smoke grenades, and we first planted a few hundred fragmentation mines as the main means of attack in the first ambush, creating thousands of morale-damaging wounded on them. The second wave is to burn the grain and grass to outflank the back road ambush, and reducing some of the supplies can make them have to speed up the march, greatly depleting their physical strength. The third wave is the baptism of smoke bombs, and we have set up a large number of 'poison bombs' positions in the valleys and small plains to weaken their combat effectiveness, and these irritating mines that can make them cough for days are no joke. The final wave was to pick up their prisoners of war. "The title of the military seat is the name of Wang Xinyu, who has a bad taste, and asks his subordinates to call themselves, but there is no brigade seat, division seat, or regimental seat among the subordinates who have no regular establishment, and they still call each other the title of master and apprentice within the dart bureau.

After half a year of preparation by thousands of people, spies surveyed and mapped, internal lines disseminated false information, the dart bureau covered the assembly of personnel and arms transportation, and internal annihilation led the army into a dead end.

The cold wave before the snow in early November had not yet reached Lanzhou, but the party members walking on the road to Lanzhou had changed their identities, and every party member who had changed from the identity of a raider and invader to a prisoner of war felt a cold chill in their hearts at the moment of capture.

Although Wang Xinyu, who led the team, did not catch Liang Yikui and other high-level big fish, the information provided by enough aristocratic and grassroots officers also made the calculation of the completion of the plan exceed the original expectations.

This group of party troops who came to invade was almost the most combat-effective elite except for the emperor's own army, and now all of them were marked as prisoners of war, slaves, and miners, and the result made Western Xia lose one-third of its combat effectiveness and one-fifth of its army. The battle damage of dozens of Zhao'an bandits lost by the crossing crowd made it difficult for all the people involved in the battle to accept, and thousands of dart divisions and about 10,000 bandit-born auxiliaries escorted tens of thousands of party prisoners of war into the ground of Lanzhou, and they were split into hundreds of tributaries and infiltrated the entire Qinfeng Road.

The future of these prisoners of war was to go through the mines controlled by the Crossing Masses and to work in secret factories throughout the Northwest as coolies and grass-roots laborers doing the hardest, most tiring, and dirtiest work.

The major party elites who had been counting on a big fortune were stunned by this unprecedented fiasco. Liang Yiqi, who fled back in embarrassment, was blocked at home by various powerful people who had lost their elite almost as soon as he entered the door, unable to go out. If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's control of the emperor's pro-army, the strongest Dinghai Divine Needle, Liang Yikui would have been divided by the angry magnates. This earth-shattering defeat almost reshuffled the entire Xia State political arena. The large number of missing armies not only changed the balance of power between the Xia and Song empires, but its far-reaching effects will be felt in the years to come.

The most obvious is that the Xia Kingdom did not dare to invade the Song Empire for at least ten years, and almost all of the ambitions of the Liang brothers and sisters were transformed into bitterness of self-preservation. If it weren't for the fact that the forces that lost blood this time were all in proportion to the loss of military strength in proportion to the original power structure, Xia would really have a major political reshuffle. This proportional weakening of the major forces is also the credit of the plan of the Crossing Crowd and dozens of spies.

When the central political axe of the Great Song Empire, which finally knew the outcome of the war, received the information, the Liao State began to shrink the military strength on the Liao-Song border, and more Liao troops were also sent to the Xia-Liao border to blackmail.

The inexplicable Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty [***] Fang and the higher-ups have always been unclear about what the fiasco of the Xia Kingdom was.

"Why do you think we're keeping such a low profile to cover up the news and traces of our big victory? You all understand, so I won't say more. But if you want to ask why such a perverted pursuit can't leave a trace, just like those party prisoners of war were kidnapped by aliens, I can't tell you. You just have to remember that this is the decision of the headmaster, and I, the helmsman and the military seat, am only the one who executes. Wang Xinyu explained to his subordinates while calculating how much profit his shares would be gained by using free prisoners of war as laborers.

In order to celebrate the victory, Li Ji, who received the war report, opened a bottle of champagne that he personally brewed after crossing over, "It is indeed good to use the high war dividend of 20 million yuan to attract the fools of the Xia Kingdom to die, how much war dividend we have gained this time?" Did Lao Liu figure it out? ”

"I just calculated this, this, a lot of data is difficult to be accurate to ten digits, our side has seized a total of 35,300 strong adult men, 3,200 minor boys, and 50 women. Of the 60,000 animals of all kinds, very few of them were uninjured as military horses, about 5,700, and the rest were either injured and eliminated or were brushed down by the highest standard of military horses in the world. Weapons, grain and grass, and all kinds of miscellaneous booty were all disposed of in accordance with the regulations on the disposal of war booty. ”

"How can there be a woman? What are the loot disposal regulations? Qian Jin asked strangely.

"Women are all cooks and camp secretaries, do you think that the high-ranking aristocratic officers of the party can endure the absence of food and women? As for the regulations on the disposal of loot, it is the first time that Wang Xinyu has handled so many trophies in large quantities. In the past, the seizures of petty fights were all divided on the spot, and the rules of the first were the traditional methods. Liu Xin explained.

"Although a lot of things were seized, it was difficult to deal with this large number of seizures, such as weapons and baggage are sensitive items with obvious characteristics, so we had to sell them all to Lanzhou Iron and Steel in accordance with the disposal method of recycling scrap iron, and those fine trophies, such as wine jugs and other high-end utensils used by the nobles of the army, were disposed of at the auction that we sent to Luoqi City. The direct benefits of the war were so low that the coolie prisoners of war simply could not squeeze much surplus value. The value of livestock and horses is only 3 million yuan, and the garbage weapons sold at the scrap price are only 5,000 yuan. All the loot from the auction was exchanged for gems and medicinal materials from Jinsha and Tubo, and the profit was only 300,000 yuan, which means that we only earned a net profit of less than 4 million yuan in this war," Zhao Shouzhong took Wang Xinyu's report and said the number of dividends.

"This small amount of money is only a small part of the dividends of this war, and the big head is in our subsequent dumping. As long as we do a good job in the work behind, the trade profits we earn in one year will be at least 50 to 100 times that of before, and we will be able to reach at least 40 million yuan in net profit in five years. I estimate that it won't be long before the peace envoys of the Xia Kingdom will come to Bianjing to ask for eternal vassalage. When the time comes, it will be easy to build a trade integration treaty and completely squeeze out the wealth and productivity of every grassroots economic unit in Xia Kingdom. Li Ji looked at Zhao Shouzhong with confidence and promised.
