Chapter 643: Attacking the Enemy
readx;
When Zhao Zhao's secret order arrived in Suizhou, it was still a little late after all, and Wang Zhongzheng had already set off!
At the same time, he was helpless, and at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info With a sentence from His Royal Highness King Qin, they will have the confidence to do things, and they don't have to be timid. However, they also know that they should not quarrel with Wang Zhongzheng unless they have to. The King of Qin is considerate of them, and they can't make trouble for the King of Qin.
Wang Zhongzheng is too hateful, too arrogant, he thinks he is great, but in fact? A month to take Xia and Yanzhou? Are you kidding?
Now he is not ashamed to say that he can't complete it in the future, so he naturally looks good! Endure the anger for a while, and there will be a time to regain face in the future.
Of course, Zhe Kexing also reported the news to Zhao Zhao, the king of Qin, as soon as possible. He has learned that his sister Zhe Wenxin is pregnant with her second child, and if she gives birth to a boy, it will be of great significance to the Zhe family. Therefore, the Fuzhou family must be wholeheartedly loyal to the King of Qin.
The seed also knew in his heart that the king of Qin was not thin on their family, and he was extraordinarily elevated. Although he is only a deputy general of the Eastern Route Army, his nephew Seed Master Dao is the commander of the Western Route Army.
A military family like them cares most about inheritance, and they are the happiest that their nephews can be so good and so valued.
It is precisely because of Wang Zhongzheng's arrogance and rudeness that he can exercise great restraint and endure it again and again.
The news of Suizhou was soon delivered to Liupan Mountain, and the situation was the same as expected, and it was inevitable that the generals would lose peace. It's just that I didn't expect Wang Zhongzheng's performance to be too unexpected, I thought that Zhao Ji could send someone to intervene, but I didn't expect it to be such a straw bale that doesn't know the height of the sky.
Is Zhao Ji unavailable? But deliberately sent such a straw bale to make trouble? For Zhao Ji's vision and practice. Zhao Zhao was no longer able to complain.
Conquer the two military towns of Western Xia in the east in one month? Are you kidding?
If only he could have kept a low profile. It's just a matter of cooperating with the battle. Now that he is pointing fingers at the war, he is simply asking for his own death.
Zhao Zhao smiled coldly, in a month, if you can't capture Xiazhou, then it's up to me to say it, don't blame me for being polite.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Liu Renliang also had the same worries, and it was a bit too childish to capture two big cities in a month. If it is defeated. The face will be lost, and it may affect the tasks assigned by the officials, so it will be troublesome. So, in private, he also persuaded tactfully, hoping that the prince would be cautious.
Wang Zhongzheng has no pressure at all, he does not feel that he is ashamed, but full of confidence. The virtue of Western Xia is now not as good as before, and there are successive defeats on the battlefield, and I don't know how many people flee from the wind. There were also quite a few Western Xia soldiers who openly surrendered directly. Obviously, his strength is not good, and he is afraid of the Song army.
In such cases. Naturally, it is necessary to make meritorious service first. He is the representative of the official family, and the credit of the Eastern Route Army must not be snatched away by Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge. Only a beautiful victory can win face for the official family, and only in this way can the momentum of King Qin be suppressed.
This is specially explained by the official family, and it is also the most important task of this trip, Wang Zhongzheng kept it in mind and carried it out to the letter. Just a little anxious, he ignored one point, in order to achieve such an effect, the premise is that the war must be won.
Hurriedly on the road, Wang Zhongzheng first launched an attack on Shizhou, which was on the outskirts of Xiazhou. His original plan was to break the city within five days, but an unexpected surprise happened.
After only a slight resistance, the Western Xia guards fled. In a hurry, he didn't even have time to discard and destroy the relevant archival documents and left.
And such a thing? Wang Zhongzheng was immediately pleasantly surprised, and the escape of the Tangut people gave him full confidence. Look, I said it, the Great Song Dynasty is mighty, the heavenly soldiers are together, and the enemy army collapses without a fight, it's really good, right?
The most important thing is that in this way, but there are real achievements, who else dares to say that they are not ashamed? The battle of Shizhou is the best proof of this, directly slapping the face and planting a kind of food. can be regarded as earning face for the official family, Wang Zhongzheng was complacent for a while.
Then there was an even bigger surprise waiting for him, and the soldiers of the Song army actually found a letter in the documents left behind by the Shizhou guard. A letter written by Suo Jiusi, the commander of Xiazhou, probably means that Xiazhou has insufficient troops, food and grass are insufficient, and once the Song army arrives, it will definitely not be able to hold on.
Suo Jiusi asked General Shizhou, should he join forces to hold on to Xiazhou, or should they all abandon the city and flee? Wang Zhongzheng was overjoyed after seeing the letter, how could it be?
Xiazhou has insufficient troops and insufficient food and grass? Is the defender's confidence so unfirm? What a godsend!
As long as Xiazhou is won, what else can Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge say? Thinking about it, they will definitely die of shame. Even His Royal Highness the King of Qin in Chang'an, I'm afraid that he will be restless, and the official family will definitely be happy.
Thinking of this, Wang Zhongzheng felt funny, so he didn't hesitate anymore and immediately sent troops to Xiazhou.
Not to mention, it was as smooth as ever, and Xiazhou City only resisted for two or three days, and the guard Suo Jiusi abandoned the city and fled. Xiazhou was the capital of the five states in the past, and the name of the Western Xia country came from this, and it was a veritable land of Longxing. Just like the status of Ying Tianfu (Song Zhou, where Zhao Kuangyin was the envoy of the festival before he ascended the throne) in the Great Song Dynasty.
This is a major phased victory, and it is also the greatest combat achievement since the dispatch of the troops. Even if you come to the history of Japan, you will write about a certain year and a certain month, Wang Zhongzheng Kexia Prefecture. This is definitely a supreme honor, and for a while Wang Zhongzheng got carried away.
Immediately sent someone to report the good news to Zhao Xu, an official in Bianjing, so that the emperor would know how hard he worked and how well he carried out the task. Then he sent someone to send an order to fold Kexing and Chong Ge, on the one hand, to humiliate the two and deliberately show off. At the same time, it is also necessary for the two of them to speed up and bring troops to support.
Wang Zhongzheng has already chosen the next target for attack - Yanzhou!
Liu Ren tracked: "Prince, let's wait for a while, and then set off after the arrival of Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge." ”
"Soldiers, how fast? When will they come? Wang Zhongzheng asked angrily: "At present, the morale of the army is like a rainbow, it is a good time to take advantage of the victory to pursue, presumably Yanzhou is not stable, we should go all out and take the city directly!" ”
Wang Zhong was a little carried away, the victories of Shizhou and Xiazhou had already made him fluttering, thinking that he was possessed by the god of war, and he was invincible.
Yanzhou will definitely be like Shizhou and Xiazhou, as long as the army arrives, it will flee without a fight. The reason why he was in a hurry to set off was actually because he was afraid that after the arrival of Zhi Kexing and the cultivation of the seeds, he would share his military exploits.
"But our army doesn't carry much grain and grass, as the saying goes, the three armies don't move the grain and grass first, so let's wait for a while!" Although Liu Renliang is a flatterer, he is a general, and he is uneasy about such rapid action, so he persuaded: "What's more, the weather in the northwest is gradually getting cooler, and winter clothes have not yet been shipped......
"Grain and grass? Didn't the Tangut people leave us 10,000 stones of grain and grass? This is also where Wang Zhongzheng is quite proud, Suo Jiusi fled in a hurry, and even the grain and grass will not be burned in the future. It just happened to provide himself with military rations, although not sufficient, but enough to support it for a while.
Shizhou and Xiazhou are so vulnerable, how long can Xiazhou hold out? Besides, didn't Zhe Ke Xing and Seed Tree come later? As for the cotton clothes, there is no need for them, is it possible that they can be carried out until the cold winter season for the time being? What are you kidding, the prince is out of the horse, where can it take so long?
Wang Zhongzheng didn't say a word, and ordered to send troops immediately. The official level crushed people to death, even if Liu Renliang felt that it was inappropriate, he couldn't advise him, so he had to follow the prince and kill Yanzhou in a hurry.
When the news reached Yinzhou, Zhe Kexing and Chong Zhen looked at each other. Wang Zhongzheng actually captured Shizhou and Xiazhou? Are you kidding? But this is the case, because Shizhou and Xiazhou fell one after another, Yinzhou became a lonely city, isolated and helpless, so it also took the initiative to surrender.
He wondered, "How is that possible?" The city of Shizhou is not big, and it is not surprising that it is easy to conquer, but this Xiazhou, the city is high, and the Xixia people have always attached great importance to it, how could he break the city so easily? ”
Zhi Kexing said in a low voice: "Don't you think it's strange for Brother Seed? ”
"Yes, it's so smooth, Xia Zhou only resisted for three days?" Chong said: "Suo Jiusi is a person, I have some understanding, I am brave and strategic, not a person who gives up easily?" Why would you be a deserter? ”
Zhi Kexing groaned: "Brother Seed, it's very abnormal, will this be a ......?"
"The Tangut people didn't necessarily flee from the wind, maybe they might have taken the initiative to evacuate." He pondered for a moment, and said worriedly, "It's likely to be a trap to lure the enemy in!" ”
The two of them carefully scrutinized, and the more they felt that it might be a trap, they couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat!
If it's a trap, what does it mean? The Tangut people must have already opened their pockets on the Yanzhou side, waiting for the Song army to get in! Wang Zhong is a straw bag who doesn't know soldiers, arrogant and arrogant, two victories, he must no longer know what his surname is, where will he hesitate, he must hesitate to rush over.
In fact, he had already done so, and ordered the two of them to follow!
Zhi Kexing and Chong Ge glanced at each other, and what they saw in each other's eyes was worry. There is no doubt that Wang Zhongzheng's light enemy will cut off himself and the 20,000 soldiers. Not only did they underestimate the enemy, but they also did not keep up with the grain and grass, and they did not carry winter clothes. They found that Wang Zhongzheng only brought 40,000 people, such a long journey, and the road is not easy to walk, how can they ensure the supply of tens of thousands of troops?
There is no doubt that Wang Zhongzheng is definitely going to be finished.
Zhe Kexing and Chong Ge quickly reported the situation to His Royal Highness the King of Qin, and as for Bianjing, Wang Zhongzheng must have reported the success. Let the official family be happy first, I'm afraid it won't be long before they will be happy and sad.
After the report, after settling down, both of them thought of a question - what should I do? (To be continued.) )
